Derek Kilmer and Rodney Tom warned Western to brace for the worst-case scenario in a letter e-mailed Friday morning to Western President Bruce Shepard and other university administrators. , Potentially, Western's $21.7 million budget, cut could become a $36 million cut that would be disastrous to the Western experience, Associated Students (AS) Legislative Liaison Morgan Holmgren said. With the state revenue budget due in mid-March, state legislators wanted Western to prepare for more reductions if necessary, as initial revenue projections have not looked good, Holmgren said. Classes normally offered four or five times per quarter could be combined to form larger classes or limited to once or twice per quarter, he said. "Class sizes would have to increase," Holmgren said. "[Potentially] a class like Introduction to Chemistry could increase from 50 students to 100 students." "It's impossible to protect [Western's] academic reputation with what the senate is asking us to do," Shepard said. Increased cuts and/or reductions could also bring a less personal experience to Western as professors could have fewer, office hours to work with students, Holmgren said. Although the AS stance is still firmly against increasing tuition, Western's Associate Vice President for University Relations Sherry Burkey suggested that if more cuts and reductions are needed, the 7 percent tuition cap needs to have flexibility. "At this point we'd love to have the governor's proposed cuts," Burkey said. Western has never had to deal with such drastic cuts with so many students, she said. Past budget reductions in 1981 through 1983 were much smaller in comparisonâ€” 12 to 13 percentâ€” and were made approximately every six months, she said. A budget proposal of this magnitude could create a feeling of instability, Holmgren said. Unpredictability leads to fear and apprehensionâ€”emotions students, faculty and staff should not have to feel, he said. The operating budget for Western is nearly $128 million, with 60 percent of the revenue coming from state appropria-see BUDGET page 5 Gregoire approves Miller funding Photos courtesy of Western Washington University Libraries Special Collections TOP (1960): Students walk past the Campus Elementary School, now part of Miller Hall, in 1960.

Brynn Regan THE WESTERN FRONT Historic Miller Hall is ready to undergo renovations in April as soon as the state legislature approves Governor Christine Gregoire's Washington Jobs Now initiative which she disclosed on Jan. 15. Western would receive $57.5 million for the renovation as part of Gregoire's $1.2 billion economic stimulus package. The package is designed to get "ready-to- go" projects underway to increase employment in the state and improve the economy as soon as possible, said Karina Shagren, deputy communications director for the governor's office. "This has been a long-range plan of the university to renovate [Miller Hall]," said Ed Simpson, the assistant director of the Facilities Design and Construction Association for Western.. The renovation of Miller Hall has been on Western's ten- year capital budget plan since 2003 and is necessary to the "development and modernization of the university's academic core," according to Western's 2009-2011 biennium report. "The state moved the project back one budget cycle [two years] after the pre-design because other construction projects around the state were more imperative," said Michael Henniger, associate dean of the Woodring College of Education. The renovation was originally planned to begin in late summer, but will start sooner with the help of the governor. The earlier the project begins, the more beneficial it would be to the university, Simpson said. see MILLER page 3 Sustainability office introduces new program Michael Johnson THE WESTERN FRONT Western's Sustainable Transportation Office and University Residences have come together to introduce a new travel desk program in the Buchanan Towers Residence Hall to help students find cheaper and more convenient methods of transportation regionally and locally.

Western is eager to renovate Miller Hall because of the severity of the building's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues, Simpson said. A majority of the building is inaccessible for people who use wheelchairs and does not comply with ADA standards, Simpson said. The ramps inside Miller, which were originally built for the elementary school in the 1940s, are not up to ADA code. The multiple levels of Miller and the layout of the building also cause confusion, he said. Taking out the ramps and installing new two-sided elevators will solve many of these problems, he said. The building will be split into designated, east and west wings. The renovation will add half-flight stairs inside the building that will compliment the elevators to improve accessibility, Simpson said. "We are also going to be incorporating some sustainable features," Simpson said. "The design and construction are scheduled to be LEED silver rated." Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a sustainability rating system awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council. A silver rating is one step above the Academic Instruction Center's [AIC] certfication. All state facilities are trying to target a silver rating, Simpson said. photo by Carolyn Copsted THE WESTERN FRONT Current view of Miller Hall. The building's tower on the left was part of the original structure built in 1943. In 1967, Miller Hall underwent a major renovation during which the portion of building to the right was added. The timing of the renovation coincides with the opening of the AIC, which allows more space to relocate the students and faculty who work in Miller, Simpson said. The psychology department already moved to the AIC. The first phase of the project will be renovating the portion of the building directly adjacent to Red Square, which was constructed in 1967. see MILLER page 4 Know your options.

Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce introduced the policy in early January to the campus community and outlined the procedure under which the policy will be carried out. In an e-mail, Pierce described the policy as promoting department flexibility in order to retain high quality faculty and staff without sacrificing fair hiring practices, as well as providing diverse opportunities. "It's a way in which to keep our employees employed," Pierce said. "That's going to be very critical." The policy calls for a combination of an internal search for candidates, an internal reassignment of someone within the department or an internal placement from somewhere within the campus community to fill a vacant position. When the administration is looking to fill a position, a hiring authority, either the president or vice presidents, must approve an internal search, internal reassignment or internal placement. Preceding appointment, the director of human resources, the appropriate dean or department head and the vice provost for equal opportunity will conduct a review of the candidate. Eighty-five percent of Westerns' budget is spent on paid employee positions, but despite the recent budget cuts, this policy is not designed to save any money, Shepard said. "It's designed to improve morale," he said. Shepard said the policy-is a way for the university has to circumvent some of the restrictions in the hiring processes to take advantage of people who are already on Western's payroll whose jobs might be affected by the budget cuts. The temporary policy is effective through June 30,2011. Shepard said Western's current search for a provost will not be affected by this policy because the policy's stipulations are only designed to find opportunities for those staff and faculty who are in jeopardy of losing there jobs due to a budget cut. Chyerl Wolfe-Lee, Western's director of human resources, has played a key role in creating the policy. Currently there are no vacant positions posted on the Internal Only Classified Staff Openings Web page accessible through Western's human resources Web site. â€¢ A listing was recently posted for Capital Budget Analyst and Wolfe-Lee said the listing generated interest and candidates are currently being reviewed. Wolfe- Lee said Gov. Gregoire has asked other state agencies to attempt to fill positions within the state before searching outside the state. To clarify the aim of the policy Shepard said, "It's a small part of a much bigger focus we need to have. This budget crisis is going to end, they always do. We need to stay focused on where we want to be as a university in the future." MILLER: Renovation could be completed in two years from 3 During this time, the education department will be relocated into the older section of the building on the eastern-most side of campus, Simpson said. When that renovation is completed, the education department will move back into the newly-rerioVated section of the building while the older wing is worked on, Henniger said. "We know there are times when we will be inconvenienced by the remodel, but for the most part we are very excited about the space we will have after the work is completed," Henniger said. Classes inside Miller Hall will also have to be relocated to other buildings, Simpson said. The modern and classical language [MCL] department will stay in the humanities building until the renovation is done and will then move into one side of Miller and occupy three floors, said Dr. Vicki Hamblin, "professor in the MCL department. The MCL department committee has met with architects, facilities management and space administration to help plan and understand the renovation process, Hamblin said. "Our faculty will be happy to move to a new location that we have had a hand in planning and that will be better suited to our administrative and eurricular organizations," she said. The department will have an administrative suite, so communication can be easily facilitated between faculty, staff and students. They will also have two designated lab classrooms for language studies, Hamblin said. "We are excited that our renovated building will be a healthy place to work and learn, a space that is welcoming to all who come here and a 'green' building that matches our college's commitment to sus-tainability," Henniger said. If the legislature approves Gregoire's initiative, Western plans to have the-reno-vation completed in two years, Simpson said. Shagren said the governor is pushing for a quick decision by Washington's legislature, which would allow Western to start the renovation as soon as possible. WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY yob...

The senators asked Shepard to provide his ideas for which programs, faculty and/or staff could be cut or reduced by Feb. 6. The deadline is intended to give the senators a more realistic impression of the damages Western could suffer and assist in the state policy committee's hearing, which predicts where state funds are to be allotted. Information from the hearings will help refine preparation for further hearings later in the legislative session. "This is the dance we have to dance," Shepard said. "The senators are asking [Western] to explore options. We're looking at [all of Western] to make strategic decisions instead of slashing across the board." After Western's football team's demise, no other programs have been discussed for reduction or elimination, Shepard said. "When things look positive, they don't turn out that well," Shepard said. "When things look really bad, they never turn out that badly." 11% SENATORS' ADDITIONAL CUT infographic by Brandon Kays 17% GOV. CHRIS GREGOIRE'S THE WESTERN FRONT SUGGESTED CUT TOTAL CUT_ â€¢ OF 28% ~ : Sens. Derek Kilmer and Rodney Tom's proposed budget cut would increase Western's cut from $21.7 million to $36 million. Western's current operating budget is $128 million. h DESK: Focus is on informing students about alternative modes of transportation from 1 desk also offers information about using the bus system, biking, walking or hiking around the area. Headed by Carol Berry, Western's sustainable transportation program manager, the travel desk is open in Buchanan Towers from 6 to 8 p.m. and .is financed by Western's Sustainable Transportation Office. "I know it can be kind of intimidating to ask 'I want to go there but I don't know how,'" Berry said. While the desk is meant to be a source of information to students, Berry said she would also like to use it to see what Western students already know about alternative transportation options, she said. Another goal is to find put how many students have cars on and around campus and use that information to help determine if Western actually needs more parking, Berry said. She said students do not want new spaces because they would be expensive and destroy lawns. Building parking lots can cost anywhere from $500,000 to $2 million and parking permit revenue, which would pay for the construction, has not increased due to students using alternative transportation, Berry said. Kim Edwards, fiscal specialist for Western's Public Safety Department, said parking revenue has decreased from $600,000 in December 2007 to $559,000 last December. Western's budget did not include any large parking projects this year, but lower parking revenue can delay the time it takes to raise funds for projects like resurfacing parking lots, Western's Parking Services C AMPU ACTIVITIES SHOWCASE! 4 9Q0PEOPI.E IA DANCE PERFORMANCES INTERACTIVE GAMES , â€¢_â€¢ | 1 â€¢ â€¢ " â€¢ â€¢ 1 * Â» AND TONS b r INFO ON HOW PRlfcfc3! gt; YOM CAN ^J#TO*bN CAMPUS ^â€¢i':Â«:^Â« gt;:Â«^s ^2^:v'. fm itisAWH*^?^ Manager Julia Gassman said. Gassman said the decrease in revenue is because more students are deciding to walk, carpool or take the bus instead of buying a parking permit. Part of the growth in bus ridership came from the universal bus pass Western students voted on last year. All students taking six or more credits pay a mandatory $25 fee per quarter for a bus pass, which pays for the bus staff and the late night shuttle that runs from campus to downtown Bellirigham until 2 a.m. The travel desk will be open through the end of spring quarter. The decision to renew the program will be up to University Residences, and depends on how often students use it, Berry said. Kay McMuiren, program assistant for student transportation, said the Sustainable Transportation Office and University Residences finalized how the travel desk would work last summer and advertised a job opening during the first week of fall quarter. Fairhaven senior Zoey Brodsky, who was hired to pilot the program, works the desk and fields student questions about transportation around Bellingham. The Sustainable Transportation Of-. fice interviewed 15 applicants to run the desk and ultimately hired Brodsky, an English literature major. "I think they chose me because I'm a senior and I know the student body pretty well," Brodsky said. "I'm also really experienced with the local buses and other forms of transportation." The most popular transportation option Brodsky has given to students recently is the $5 bus route to Seattle using the student bus pass on local buses. *We Love STUDENTS ! * We treat students with RESPECT and DIGNITY.

To help manage these responsibilities, Western offers a licensed preschool that gives children a chance for education while their parents pursue theirs. Since the early 1970s, Western's Associated Students Child Development Center has been making life a little easier for student-parents. Located underneath Fairhaven residence hall stacks 11 and 12, the Child Development Center offers affordable, high-quality child care to students and faculty who have children ages 2-5. Of the 56 children the center currently serves, 60 percent are children of Western students and the other 40 percent are children of faculty and staff, said Patricia Ashby, director of the Child Development Center. The center has a waiting list of children wanting to be enrolled, but top priority goes to student-parents, she said. "Our student-parents are very motivated students because they see that by getting their education they will be able to better support men-children," Ashby said. Western senior Erin Greer, 26, and her 3-year-old daughter Sophia came to Western and the Child Development Center in the fall of 2007. Being a single student-parent, Greer said she knows the importance of having a schedule and prioritizing her responsibilities. "You have the responsibility of class and homework,' but you also have this little person to watch over as well," she said. Greer's day begins at 6 a.m. when she wakes up and gets herself andSophia ready for school. She drops Sophia off at the Child Development Center in time to get to her 8 a.m. class, works on either homework or exercises at the gym between classes and then picks Sophia up in the afternoon. Once Greer gets home, parent responsibilities take priority, she said.

Barbi McLain, 27^ is a graduate student in Western's English department and[the: mother^6f 5-year-6ld Ella. She said she finds the center helpful because she is teaching an English 101 course and taking graduate courses. "Finding affordable child care that allows me time for school is almost impossible," she said. "But here, Ella can get a good education while I get mine." Four full-time teachers, two part-time teachers and 35 student employees staff the center. Most of the students working in the center are early elementary education or special education majors from Woodring College of Education. Ashby said she thinks being connected with Woodring through student teachers is one of the reasons their child care is high quality. "We work closely with [Woodring] to make sure we are providing the most up-to-date and research-based methods of childhood education," Ashby.said. Western junior Emily Foster has been working in the center since her freshman year, and said the experience is what made her decide to major in special education and early elementary education. She said she feels her experiences working in the center's classrooms are preparing her for her future career. "We .have so many great projects and ideas here at the center that I have literally started writing them down on my own to use in future classrooms," Foster said. Even with the center's resources, Greer said being a student-parent has its trials. But she said she believes any parent can finish their education if they put their mind to it. "It's all about seeing into the future," she said. "With a good goal in mind, anything is possible." 5 urge students to find cheaper fares any students make the [ling green Chuckanut ;k to their hometowns for cost-efficient ways of public transporta- Lines, Inc. to approximately $40, Amtrak or Greyhound le past, but now she is commute because of )f transportation, such hound would lower their ticket prices since they are not paying as much for fuel.

"Amtrak and Greyhound, they generally keep their tickets pretty much the same," he said. Round-trip refundable tickets for Greyhound, and Amtrak are approximately $40. Fortunately, Garcia said, there is an affordable alternative for students who are looking to travel outside of Bellingham without burning a hole in their wallet. "The cheapest option is to use public transit to take you down to Seattle," he said. "It costs $4.50." So how does it work? Garcia explained: Students can take the 80X Shuttle, a Whatcom Transportation Authority bus, from Bellingham to Mount Vernon for free with their Western bus pass. From there, take the 90X Skagit Transit express bus from Mount Vernon to Everett, which costs $2. To end in Seattle, students can take the Sound Transit 510 bus for $2.50. According to Community Transit's Web site, a $3.50 fare from Everett to King county can be reduced by $1.50 when a transfer from another transit authority is shown. For those who might be overwhelmed by the many different stops and transfers, Garcia said it is not nearly as complicated or time consuming as it sounds. "Once you have it kind of all planned out, and you know what to expect, it's really not that tough," he said. Traffic between Everett and Seattle may delay the trip, which usually takes approximately three hours. "As people can basically find out about it more and more, we're seeing more people use it, because they think 'Hey I can get to Seattle for $4.50 and it doesn't take that much longer [than riding Amtrak or Greyhound],'" Garcia said. "I mean, it's a no-brainer." ---------- Page 8 ---------- westernfrontonline.net I Tuesday â€¢ January 27,2009 ARTS LIFE I $ Study revitalizes endangered language Rod Lotter THE WESTERN FRO NT There are approximately 5,000 languages spoken in the world today. By the end of the next century that number is estimated to drop to 1,000. Western modern and classical language professor Ed Vajda, has taken 16 trips to the Siberian taiga (forest) of Russia over the past decade, as part of his research and efforts to preserve the Ket language. The Ket language is spoken by only 100 people and may not exist in two decades, but it could be the lost link in the history of human migration, Vajda said. In November, Vajda published a book, "Subordination and Coordination Strategies in North Asian Languages," which he edited and contributed a paper to about Ket. The book is number 300 in the Current Issues in Linguistic Theory series. "The world is rapidly changing and there is an urgency to document these languages," Vajda said. "They are dying at an unprecedented rate and are leaving behind huge gaps of history that won't be filled." When Vajda started as a professor at Western 23 years ago, he became interested in the Ket language while studying non- European languages spoken in the former Soviet Union. Vajda said he noticed striking similarities between the Yeneseian language family, of which Ket is a part, and the Na-Dene language family, spoken by Native American tribes ranging from Alaska and the Yukon Territory to the American Southwest and Mexico. Through his research, Vajda has uncovered several links between the two language families. These discoveries have propelled him to international prominence among linguists due to the various articles he has published in journals, and the speeches he has given at conferences in Russia, Germany and Alaska. "What Ed has done, through his persistent and dogged research, is [shown] that these two cultures are related in some way," said Shaw Gynan, head of Western's linguistics department. Anthropologists, in their research of human migration patterns since the dawn of mankind, have found that approximately 12,000 years ago, humans migrated from U?t 3 I Independent QeMMmcArfpus 35 e%* (knder a m j w^i tti ii -â€” lt;-â€”----- Z^mih Learning 1 tagjfedt u (D itkxxLlicvil UTA J Si tidies Need a Class?

The crossing was possible because of a land bridge that was formed during the ice age, when sea levels dropped drastically due to large icebergs, Gynan said. Most linguists claim that when a group of language speakers, such as the relatives of the Ket, separate from each other, the languages evolve separately and become incomparable after 5,000 years, Gynan said. "Ed showed that is not the case," Gynan said. "He found many examples between the two languages, which proves that linguistic reconstruction can go much further back than anyone thought, in this case about 12,000 years, possibly.' As part of his research, Vajda created a list of words between the Yeneseian and Na-Dene languages that are especially similar, if not almost identical. "Who could have guessed that the ancient words Native American and Native Siberian boarding-school children were punished for speaking aloud just a few decades ago would prove to wield a power vast enough to reunite entire continents?," Vajda said. The Ket live along the mid and lower Basins of the Yenisei River, the fifth longest river in the world, stretching over 3,400 miles in the heart of Siberia, which is only accessible by either a four-hour helicopter ride provided by the Russian government, or a two-day excursion on a riverboat, Vajda said. During his first trip in 1998, Vajda said he temporarily lost hearing in one ear because the heat in his room shut off while he was asleep and the ear that was exposed to the air began to freeze in the minus 40 degree weather. Vajda said he is probably the only American who has ever beento that area of the world and felt more people should reconsider places once deemed unimportant. "Because dying languages are important," Vajda said, "hopefully I can pressure others to begin documenting other languages before they go extinct." Vajda is currently working on a Ket dictionary, grammar book, ethnography and translations into "Russian, German and English, and plans to incorporate his rease-arch into the East Asian Studies 201 curriculum next year.

Granted, many may find the news difficult to read during times as dark as these. It's hard to find a publication whose headlines don't contain at least some reference to the dismal state of the economyâ€”this newspaper included. As our state sinks deeper into recession, the news seems to be getting exponentially worse for Western (see the front page), Yet it is precisely during a crisis like the one Western is currently mired in when students need reliable newspapers the most, and vice versa. The press was designed by the founding fathers to act as a "Fourth Estate" to serve as another branch of checks and balances on the government. Thomas Jefferson said in 1786, "Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it." In ideal conditions, the media isa vehicle of democ- : racy; it is the voice of the people. Newspapers provide the citizenry with the information it needs to act. Today it's important not just as citizens, but as students, to be involved in government, if by no other means than simply staying informed about local issues upon which our actions can potentially affect change. History has shown us that when the press does its job correctly during times of great need, massive numbers of people are mobilized to fight for a common cause through the power of words and images. Originally that cause was independence, then slavery, women's suffrage, the Civil Rights Movement, expediting an end to the Vietnam War, and so on. - While it pales in comparison to the heady topics listed above, the budget crises Western currently faces is a scenario that will almost certainly require activism in response to news that directly threatens students' livelihood. Here at Western, important decisions are being made about students' money and the future of this university, which has just been told by two state Senators to prepare for the worst. Take some time to research the options facing the administration on how to cut the school's budget and learn about the money-saving alternatives Western is examining, which include raising tuition. Consult local newspapers about what other schools in the state are doing to get back into the black. The Western Front strives to provide the most accir-rate, unbiased coverage of the crises looming over this university and its student body. But simply reading the news is not enough; simply knowing what is about to happen to you will not prevent it from happening. Act on the words and ideas being conveyed to you in the coming months. A time will come soon when student solidarity and unity of purpose might be the only thing that preserves Western life as we know it. The Editorial Board is comprised of the Editor-in- Chief Zack Hale, Managing Editor Rebecca Rayner, Opinion Editor Kera Wanielista and community rnember-at- large Eddie Verhulst. Viking Voices Opinions from around campus Where do you get your news from? Compiled by: Selah Prather Peter Hogg Senior "From the internet predominately. I think there's,a large diversity of news there." Kenny McMillon Senior "News comes in alt forms, just accidentally walking around you catch news." Chris Craft Billy Harrell Freshman . Freshman 7 usually get my news from 7 don't really get much friends; word of mouth." news anywhere. There's too much controversy, so I try to avoid that." Cutting football despite past triumphs leaves questions Jeff Kramer Guest Columnist I played football for Western in the early 80s, so you won't get any over-hyped war stories from me. We won one game during my two seasons. About the only tale of gridiron glory I have is that I once gained nine pounds at dinner in an ill-fated attempt to maintain my heft during training camp. With the entire Viking squad urging me on plate after plate, I felt a powerful bond with my teammates. Then I felt really full.. Then I felt... It was a rough night. The only other story I'll share also happened off the field. It was spring of 1982. A student referendum to eliminate football had destroyed recruiting efforts and. nearly killed the program. Our undersized team met at Carver Gym to debate whether to play the upcoming season knowing we might not win a game for the second straight year. The vote was unanimous: play on. To walk away, we understood, would mean the end of Viking football forever. All the good things that came years laterâ€”the apearance in the NAIA Championship game, the five playoff appearances in the 90s, the bowl win this past season- would not have happened if we'd given up. We were young, but we understood the value of continuity. Your new university presidentâ€”apparently not so much. I've never met Bruce Shepard excluding a recent e-mail exchange. He seems friendly enough. Surely he's brilliant. But from where I live, in Syracuse, N.Y., he's making me nostalgic for the relative transparency of the Bush Administration. The Western Washington University I attended celebrated open discourse and dissent. Certainly its leaders did not kill programs in secret and then belittle impassioned efforts to save them. Yet how else to describe Shephard's treatment of Western's 100-year-old football program? Since Jan. 8, the day Viking football officially died, $500,000 has been pledged to save it. These are game-changing numbers-or should be. Everyone realizes that more must be raised to secure the program's long-term future, but that doesn't diminish a minor miracle in the making. In a few short days, enough money has been pledged to seriously defray football's expenses. If soaring travel costs were a major reason for dropping the sport, as administrators . claim, my response is that half a million dollars buys a lot of bus fuel. Here's the real problem: With every dollar pledged, the administration's claim it did everything possible to save the program smells more like my practice jersey did between launderings. That's the trouble with doing public business in private. People get cynical-and they start asking questions. Why did the administration establish a policy weeks before the decision that effectively precluded public discussion of dropping football? Why didn't the university aggressively pursue alumni donors in the first place? Why has Shepard dismissed as "fanciful" this fundraising effort? Wouldn't it make sense to work with boosters to save a long-standing program? Or does he not want it saved? If not, why not? What programs, athletic or otherwise, are next in line for covert elimination? It sure would be nice to get some answers. I'd hate to think I gained nine pounds in one sitting for nothing. Jeff Kramer, a contributing columnist for the Post- Standard in Syracuse, N.Y. graduated from Western in 1985 with a degree in journalism. Letter to the Editor: Parents, teach your children well I hope your generation does a better job of raising your kids than my generation did. Our kids are running amok!. I am not quite sure where we went wrong. Perhaps - it was because most of us parents just took it for granted that one is supposed to be considerate of others when in a public setting. We apparently didn't think it was necessary, for example, to teach our children to not stop walking right in the middle of a crowded public passageway to chat with friends. We must have assumed that our kids would know better, without having to be told. I'm sure we never dreamed that our youngsters would be so inconsiderate as to stand in the middle of a doorway, hallway or stairwell, chatting on a cell phone. Maybe we shouldn't even have given them cell phones at such an early age/ ' Please don't make the same mistake that my genera- â€¢ tion made! Teach your children to flush toilets and to wash then-hands afterward. Teach them that objects should not be left on the floor in walkways or aisles lest they become tripping hazards for other people. Make your children understand that it doesn't hurt to hold a door for someone if they are following close behind-it is certainly nicer than letting the door slam in their face. Teach them to pick up after themselves and to use trashcans instead of the floor or the ground. With our population still rising and conditions everywhere becoming increasingly crowded, it is more important than ever that you teach your children common courtesy. Don't assume that your kids will "pick it up" through osmoses or genetics like my generation apparently did. You must actively teach your children that courtesy and consideration for other people are the lubricants that keep our civilization running smoothly. Otherwise, they won't get it. I see the evidence of my generation's failure to educate our children every single day. You see, I work here at WWU and I am of the same generation as your parents.

The win bumped Western's record up to 10-5 and 2-2 in GNAC. The Vikings are now only two wins away from a historic milestoneâ€”800 all-time victories. All 10 Western players scored as Western head coach Carmen Dolfo substituted players in and out throughout the game. Western's bench players scored 55 points, compared to 16 from MSUB. "Carmen does a great job of interchanging everybody in the game," Summers said. "We have a lot of players who can score. Three Western seniors led the team in scoring. Forward Jessica Summers scored 17 points, pulled in 6 rebounds and blocked 3- shots. Forward Liz McCa-rrell came off the bench and scored 12 of her 14 points in the second half. Center Claire Pallansch returned after missing two games due to a back injury and scored 11 points and added 7 rebounds. "It's great to have Claire back, and Jessica had a great game," Dolfo said. "Those two make a big difference for us." After building a big lead, Western fell into a lull in the second half, Dolfo said. Western led 42-32 at halftime and held a 14-point lead midway through the second half. MSUB put together a 22-12 run that cut Western's lead to four. The score was 66-62 with less then four minutes left in the game. "It was a game full of ups and downs," Dolfo said. "We found our post players, worked the ball around and had a balanced scoring attack." The Vikings shot 53 percent for the game while holding the Yellowjackets to 39 percent shooting. Western senior India Soo had a game-high 5 assists. "[This win] gives us confidence, and the biggest thing was that we had fun and played together," Dolfo said. MSUB junior guard Alira Carpenter led all scorers with 19 points. She came into the game leading the conference with an average of 24.2 points per game. "It didn't seem like [Carpenter] had as many points as she did," Soo said. ; Western used taller defenders McCa-rrell and senior forward Gabby Wade to guard Carpenter, which kept her from scoring in the last 13 minutes of the game. "We tried to keep [Carpenter] from getting the ball because she's such a good shooter," Summers said. The Vikings now look to avenge an 85-68 loss Jan. 8 against Seattle Pacific University.

Jackson began working at Western in July 2008 after transferring from Georgetown University in Washington D.C., where she was in charge of sport clubs and student activities. .This quarter, the intramural program is offering 5-on-5 basketball, volleyball, dodgeball and indoor soccer and hockey. Jackson said she hopes to increase participation and make it easier to get involved with the intramural program. "[Students] can play and have fun," Jackson said. "Some people don't know the sport and they just want to have fun and play." Jackson said she has 60 employees in the intramural program, and together they oversee games and provide each match with scorekeepers and referees. With 2,175 players that competed fall quarter, Jackson said she needs a strong staff to make sure the prpgram operates correctly. Many of Jackson's hired officials and supervisors also play on intramural teams. 'â€¢â€¢,.â€¢.â€¢â€¢ "We are way more organized with training," R J. Lincoln, an intramural supervisor, said. "I never even knew who the coordinator was before." Jackson is taking time to change how team sign-ups operate. A team captain can now sign up their team electronically on the Wade King Student Recreation Center Web site and pay $50 at the Rec Center to have a registered team. "We are trying to use existing university resources to keep costs low but make photo by Katie Greene THE WESTERN FRONT Western freshman Gina Guariz defends against Western senior Derek Veenstra in an intramural game between 'The B-ham Playas' and the 'Average joes' Monday in the Rec Center. . it more convenient for the students," Jackson said. With the help of the Western Washington University Intramurals Facebook group Jackson created, players looking for a team to play on are instantly connected with team captains. New members can join teams any time during the season. If someone is a fan of the Facebook page they can receive automatic updates about the intramural sports they are interested in, she said. Besides monitoring Facebook, people can also attend games to see if players are needed. "Strong internal communication is importantâ€”people want people to play," Jackson said. Jackson also created quizzes for team captains to take on Blackboard to eliminate the mandatory captain meetings. "The captain meetings were someone reading the rules to a huge groupâ€”online is way betterj" Lincoln said. Western senior Briana Martinez, a volleyball Official, volleyball team captain and team member, stays busy by competing on three intramural volleyball teams, refereeing two. days a week, and teaching two volleyball classes for the physical education department. Martinez spends about 15 hours a week involved in volleyball- related activities. "Volleyball is a giant community," she said. "People form teams just from meeting people." . Last year, Martinez experienced problems refereeing games because of a lack of scorekeepers. She said Jackson now makes sure there are two referees and a scorekeeper at each game. The intramural program is becoming more organized, she said. Jackson is also revamping officials training. "I am creating a more hands-on approach to training my officials," Jackson said. "They were great last quarter, but I think they'll be better this quarter." Jackson said she wants to eventually integrate leadership, wellness and health training into the intramural program. She said she wants her officials and team captains to be supported in their role. Jackson said she heard about Western's wellness and prevention program before she came to campus and wants to expand the wellness program to the intramural program. She said she hopes to establish training sessions on nutrition, sexual health and first aid. "Intramurals give the team something great to have in common besides alcohol â€¢and drugs," Jackson said. Jackson said she wants everyone involved in intramurals to learn about proper nutrition and how alcohol affects them and their sport. By awarding teams points for participating in these programs, Jackson would be increasing competition between teams. Teams that receive the' most training would be awarded points toward a prize, such as a T-shirt for each team member. Western sophomore Brendan Pape has played intramurals each quarter since coming to Western. He participated in flag football in the fall, and this quarter captains a floor hockey team and plays on a volleyball team. Pape said he plays intramurals for fun and'his teams are not worried if they win or lose. "A lot of the same people from last quarter are playing," Jackson said. "People just really love to play."

At the last game, the Valkyries were a '"howling" success, If we do say so ourselves. At considerable risk to our person, we managed to make said club very irate. This was accomplished by publishing a questionnaire last week that reflected a hostile atmosphere on the part of the student body. Also, various and sundry remarks were let fall to the effect that the Valkyries were about to be disbanded. The result was most gratifying. The girls responded nobly in the face of much opposition. They were so mad that practically every one of them came to the game. They cooperated to the nth degree with the newly formed men's rooting section. More power to the Valkyries! But be that as it may, we'll never try another plan like it again. Why? Did any of you ever have thirty-five angry females on your trail all at once? 'Nuff said. TICKLISH What with the tugboat crews all on strike in New York harbor last week, some of the larger ships had considerable difficulty getting to their docks. The job of berthing the mighty Queen Mary without the aid of any tugboats must have been quite a job. It is said that one of the senior officers collapsed after the ordeal. _ However, the • maneuver was accomplished without a hitch. If any of the calculations had gone astray, there would have indeed been the devil to pay. The great ship would have carried, everything with it. Meanwhile the striking tugboaters watched the process and laid Wagers on the success or failure of the outcome. With the dispute finally ironed out it would no longer be possible for one side to say to the other, "Dont hand us that line." EYEFUL In the East recently was an aged farmer who was about to go blind. For years his sight had been failing. First one eye became useless, then the other slowly began to reach the same condition. The old man was desperate. At long last he found a doctor with a new idea that he wished to try. Accordingly an operation was performed in which the eye of a rabbit was grafted to the old man's failing optic. The operation was a success, as have been • others tried since .that time. Doctors contend that the same thing may be possible with the eyes of other animals. There is only one thing that we are worried about. Will the new eye light up at the thought of lettuce? of a nice juicy bone? or a saucer of milk? depending on its point of origination? SPIKED? . The Bandsmen's Inferno was a great success last week. The music Was good. The night Was warm, and the dancers likewise. When the intermission arrived, everybody rushed for the refreshment stand. The rush was composed mainly of ardent swains attempting to secure a little dust settler for their gal friends. However, it is to be noted that many of the stalwart fellows paused to lap up a few cupfuls for themselves before heading back to the feminine element. Now this is a particularly unmannerly thing to do, what with the little ladies waiting impatiently, and such. We drank the first few cups so fast that it Wasn't until We went back and sat down that we discovered the cider was slightly fermented. It might "possibly have been purely psychological, but We seemed to feel livelier for the duration of the evening.

College Students Found Healthy Tests Supervised by Miss Mead; Retests Will Begin Immediately; 889 Students Take Examination "This year's health examinations revealed that the general health of the students was so good, not one student was excluded from school," stated Miss May Mead this week concerning the health examinations. Under Miss Mead's supervision, the examinations, required of all entering students, were completed Thursday, October 13, in the PE building. There will be retests, as in previous years, for those who were found to have defective eyes, heart or other ailments. The test was given to 534 women and 355 men during the two weeks necessary to complete the tests. The doctors in charge were Dr. J. C. Wiik; Dr. P. A. Wheaton; Dr. B. J. Gilshannon; Dr. W. C. Moren, and Dr. W. S. Moore. They were assisted by Mrs. Rosellen Hanson, matron of the WWC - infirmary; Miss Helen Hostetter^ a former student of WWC, and Mrs.. Maude Dol-henty. The Wasserman blood test, blood count, and urinalysis will be given to all entering freshmen and transfer students. Retests will be given to those students who were found to have a low blood count in last year's tests. Students are asked to watch the official bulletin for further details. You Guess Lapinski, Gerry, Goheen, Gooch Chosen as Other Officers; Senior Commissioner Late, Bob White was elected president of the newly organized men's club, the Norsemen, according to a late report to the Viking last night after the elections. Stan Lapinski, vice president; Ross Gerry, secretary-treasurer; John Gooch and Jim Goheen, frosh commissioners, were the other officers elected at the runoff poll. Finals for senior commissioner, that between Evan.Hill and Prank Nimms, will be run next week. The new club is pledged to "—carry the responsibilities for . . . certain designated student activities; to stimulate good fellowship and feeling of unity among men students; to co-ordinate the efforts of the organization with those of wom-ens organizations in the best interest of the student body as a whole." Adoption of the Norsemen's constitution was unanimously accepted at a meeting of pledged members Monday. When a preliminary election gave no candidate a clear majority judges declared another election and the finals were run off yesterday. In an interview the Norsemen's president said "No, this is NOT the reorganized men's club. That club died because it had little reason to exist. It is gone—buried with the old Normal school, bur objectives are definite: first and foremost, perpetuation of a group that will not only serve the men, but the college as a whole. "The Norsemen have already shown that they will make theirs the most active club on the campus— although the Valkyries are certainly doing things this year. They were very quick to respond to a challenge and invitation; they co-operated beautifully with our cheer unit last Friday.

Homecoming Firp Bum Bright With HOMECOMING so close and plans being made for another super and better HOMECOMING, many "best-ever" ideas are springing up everywhere. But none is better than that of the Viking about burning a streetcar on HOMECOMING night. Last year the bonfire was burned right out from under the freshmen's noses the night before HOMECOMING. This year's crop of frosh swear that it won't happen to them; they're going to build the pyre the day of HOMECOMING And the Viking says, Let the Frosh build their bonfire . . . and protect it. We want to burn a streetcar as part of Homecoming, celebration. The townspeople did it in Tacoma to celebrate the going of the streetcars . . . and we can do it here. And Much Brighter Yet! While we're burning streetcars, let's pick the one to burn. The Garden street car. And let's burn the Garden street car just for spite and because it went up Garden street instead of High for the last forty years. For every stop we had to take climbing up to High let's break another window and light another fire. And just because the college is on a hill is no sign that we have to climb that hill on foot. We want the bus line to come up High street. Sign the petition. Elks Are Pals of WWC Last week Harold Lant, exalted ruler of the local chapter of Elks, readily agreed to relinquish the armory in favor of WWC for Homecoming dance. The Elks had made arrangements to have the armory on the 19th but when they found that WWC's HOMECOMING was on that date they sacrificed their plans so that we might not have to change ours. Many thanks to the Elks and Harold Lant. Dormant Valkyries Awaken The Viking has been criticized for its attack on the Valkyries. But it is self-evident that this "attack" was successful. The turnout of Valkyries at the Frosh game showed that to some extent the Viking's editorial comment has been effective. The Valkyries have got what it takes, and all they need is a chance to prove it. The club has been dormant for a while, but they have had their awakening . . . and a rude one, too. Something that they overlooked, though, was the advantage of all sitting in one reserved section. The Norsemen are all for it and the other live-wire clubs in WWC are getting organized into a huge cheering section for the HOMECOMING game. Of course care would have to Be taken to keep the reserved section reserved, but the bother of all that would be well worth while. Thru The Lobby AMERICAN—Friday through Monday.

Of $100,000,000 worth of raw silk imported from Japan, at least 75 per cent of this is invested in the hosiery business—women's hosiery. The new plant will manufacture a rayon thread that can be used to knit stockings of similar appearance, quality, and strength to the genuine silk product. Dance Sponsored By: Veterans For Boy Patrol To raise money for school boy patrol equipment, the William Mat thews post 1585 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, are sponsoring dance at the Eagles hall, Armistice day. This is the first year that., the WWC has had a school boy patrol, consequently this is the first year that such a dance has been brought to the attention of our students through the Western Viking. However, since December, 1933, the local branch of the V. of F. W. has spent $841.76 on the purchase of school boy patrol equipment in Whatcom county. The greater percentage of this money has been made through the medium of the annual school boy patrol dance.

The Vikings whipped the Frosh. Not only defeated were the Husky yearlings, but outplayed as well, as the Norsemen piled up 17 first downs to the Pups 7. Chief factor was the accurate passing of Bob Tisdale and Howard Jones, who completed thirteen out of eighteen aerial attempts. The first half was scoreless as one side, then the other, threatened. The Vikings twice bogged down inside the Frosh 30-yard line, and the Husky Yearlings completed a pass over the Bellingham goal only to see the play called back, and a penalty of fifteen yards inflicted on them for shoving by Wayne Sterling, giant Hawaiian tackle. With the opening kickoff in the second half, the Viking machine began to roll. Twice denied inside the Huskies' ten yard line, Tisdale, Chorvat and company started back, with Tisdale firing to Jones, Mun-kres and Tisdale reeling off gains through the line, and climaxed by Jones wobbling a pass to Captain Fritz Chorvat, who made a fine catch and dove over the line for the tally. Reischman failed to kick the conversion. Lappenbusch then sent in his second stringers, and the Huskies started a drive with Thompson, burly fullback, smashing off huge gains. With the replacing of the Viking first team a different tale was told. Unleashing a vicious passing and running attack, the Norsemen pounded to the Frosh 3-inch line where only the final gun stopped them. We Can't Tell Red Raiders Idle; Seconds Play Hard-Working Ed Ed Reischman, hard-driving tackle from South Bend, who is playing his second year as a regular for the Vikings, "will be in the starting lineup when the Vikings play Ellensburg in their first Washington Intercollegiate Conference tussle: tomorrow afternoon at the Central Washington city.

The Borderites are undefeated in the last few years, and reign as topheavy favorites to sink the Pups. Swede Anderson's Raiders have signed up Seattle Prep for a Thanksgiving day tussle, it has been reported- by inside authorities. The Turkey day classic is slated to take place at Battersby field. What Is It? Latest word from the PE building intimates that the 1938- 39 Viking basketball team will contain a junior varsity as well as a first squad. This will give experience to, the future stars and also give credit in PE to numerous athletes unable to make the varsity. In past years the jayvees have played preliminary games to the Viking encounters and probably will do the same this year. You Guess MORSE Hardware Co.

C, Saturday evening on the Whatcom High School floor, 20 to ID. It was a closely contested, hard fought game from start to finish, but the boys from the Normal gathered in the first basket and continued to lead all the way. At the end of the first half Coach Carver's team was leading 13 to 3 ami each team, succeeded in annexing 10 points in the second half. The Whites showed some fine team work and were exceptionally strong on the defense. ., The ability of Vandford and Hughes to ring the basket kept the Canadians worried at all stages of the game. The guarding of Fisher and Keplinger kept the Vancouverites away from the basket most of the time. Cone, the rangy center, played a strong game both on the offence and defence, as did Black, who took his place late in the second half. Saturday's line-up: Normal (29) Vancouver (19) Vanderford (11) F Bruce (S) Hughes (10) F Bison (4) Cone (4) C Woodcox (1) .Keplinger (2) G Meadows (2) Fisher G Abercrombie (4) Substitutes—Black for Cone, late second half.

TWENTY-EIGHT NEW STUDENTS ENTER Twenty-eight new students have entered our school since the holidays, most of them choosing the course in primary grades. Former students of the University of Washington contributes the largest per cent of this number. The following "U" students are now at work here: Helen Anderson, Seattle; Helen Dil-labought, Seattue; Brilliant Keeton, Snohomish; Verna Middlebrook, Tolt; Cara L. Oiling, Waterville; Emmogene Powell, Chehalis; Josephine Powell, Che-halis; Edgar Stonehouse, Bellingham; Maurilce Taft, Beach. Those from other schools are: Marie Allwardt, U. S.

YELL KING ELECTED OF 1 POPULARITY DATES BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL DAYS MASON HALL Mason Hall, yell king, member of the board of control, president of the Senior class, member of the debating team, is now editor of the Klipsun. the Senior annual, according to the vote of the Klipsun board on Thursday last. Mr. Hall's policy in handling the future Klipsun, is best given in his own words: "'The Klipsun should be representative of the best work done in our school. To make it such I want to encourage everyone to do something for the Klipsun. An essay, a cartoon, a poem, a picture; anything you may like and can do the best. An unprejudiced opinion is guaranteed in selecting the best work. Be a 'Booster* and help make the Klipsun of 1922 the best this school has ever issued." Mr. Hall's monopoly on student offices has come through his tireless work as a school booster and his popularity among his fellow students. What ever he has undertaken he has done well, from his class work to the Board of Control. We have every reason to expect, at this year's end, a supreme annual of the Klipsun. The popularity of Mr. Hall dates back to his high school days, where he held the offices of president of the student body, president of the Senior class, class historian and received the greatest number of votes as the most popular student, also as the greatest politician in school. The Winlock News, Mr. Hall's hometown paper, gives .as his favorite sport—the holding of offices. B. S. N. S. VICTOR HUGHES CAPTAIN OF BASKETBALL TEAM Victor Hughes was elected captain of the Normal Basketball team Tuesday night. The choice of Hughes is very popular as he is one of the cleanest, flashey players ever seen in this part of the country. Hughes was a member of last year's "Frosh" quintet of the University of Washington and will be remembered as Captain of the Famous 1918-19 WOiatcom High .School team, which won the state championship and then lost to the strong Moscow, Idaho, team by one point. STEWART HEADS THE MISS PRESTON APPOINTS ILLITERACY COMMISSION Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart began as a count yschool teacher. Step by step, she has elevated herself from one position to another. She is now considered the leader of the National movement against illiteracy. She possesses a charming personality, and has rare ability as a speaker. She is- very humorous as well as instructive. Mrs. Preston, our state superintendent, was fortunate enough to secure Mrs. Stewart for a short tour of the State of Washington. She comes to this state with the express purpose of starting a movement to abolish illiteracy. A few years ago nothing was being done to quelch illiteracy; today many great organizations have that as their prime purpose. In the election in 1920 the two great national parties took that as one of their issues. Americas greatest issue is today the arms conference; second in importance is the. campaign against illiteracy. What is a "Moonlight" School? Mrs. Stewart declared she had heard this term misconstrued to "Midnight" "Twilight" and even "Moonshine." Mrs. Stewart first became aware of the necessity of educating illiterates when she was a county superintendent of schools. Through Mrs. Stewart's efforts, the State of Kentucky organized the "Moonlight" schools in that state. These schools had for their one purpose the removal of illiteracy in the state. The first night the school opened twelve hundred illiterates enrolled, among them some who had the appearance of professional men. The ages of these twelve hundred ranged from eighteen to eighty-five. The next year sixteen hundred were taught to read and write. At the present time the only, illiterates in the Stae of Kenucky are the mentally and physically deranged. She issued Kentucky's record as a challenge to the State of Washington. There are 1S.526 illiterates in our own state. Whatcom county has 578, and of these, 230 are in our own Bellingham. What are we going to do to remove this? As Normal students, we are first (Continued on Page Two) (Unlmhnv MONDAY—Jan. 16. Miss Cummins will address assembly. WEDNESDAY—Jan. 18. Mr. Kibbe will give a talk. FRIDAY—Jan. 20.

CORA WILSON STEWART HEADS THE ILLITERACY MOVEMENT (Continued From Page One) in line to remove this blot against our civilization. Will we act or will we let "George" do it? Let us resolve that when we become teachers, and, until we do as well, to do everything in our power to educate the illiterates in our own county. With the entire removal of illiteracy from our state as our goal. The campaign to abolish illiteracy in the State of Washing-ton took definite shape Saturday when a state illiteracy commission of nine members was named by Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston, state superintendent of public instruction. The commission will have the responsibility of teaching the 1S.526 illiterates in the state to read and write. . The first meeting of the commission will be held in Olympia during the latter part of January, it was announced, and at that time a committee will be named for cieh .county in the state to take the local responsibility for reaching the illiterates and redeeming them. The appointees on the commission are: C. D. Cimnincrhani, state commander of the American Legion. Cen-tralia •. Mrs. A. E. Larsen, president of the Washington Federation of Women's Clubs. Yakima: Chapin Foster, president of the state press association, Grand-view; Mrs. C. A. Varney. president of the state press association, : thrthetu the state branch of the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers' association. Yakima; George W. Peddy-cord, president of the board. The State of North Dakota has challenged Washing-ton to be the first to wipe out illiteracy and has set 1924 as the time to complete the task. It is expected that the illiteracy commission of Washington will set a time just a little nearer than the North Dakota limit. A course of study and slogan for the campaign will be worked out by the commission at its meeting. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chairman of the illiteracy commission of the National Educational association, is cooperating with the state in the work. 13. S. N. S. — "Pardon me," she -said to the li-lirarianj "But have you a book on American Education in. the twelfth cen-turv?" T PLEASANT TRIP After a very short vacation, Miss Helen Beardsley, of the French department, lias returned to work. Miss Beardsley visited the home of Dr. Nash's youthful days, and also Boulder, Colorado, her former home. Next to Bellingham, Miss Beardsley places Boulder as regards beautiful location and surroundings. Boulder is strictly a college town, devoted very largely to college interests. Miss Beardsley is very proud of the LTniversity there, for the Mackey Auditorium is one of the finest in the United States. It seats 4,000 easily, and well it might, for the auditorium itself cost $250,000. This sum was presented to the school by a retired banker. The upper floor is devoted entirely to Art, containing statues, pictures and photographs. A vehement faculty member has visited Athens five times for the sole purpose of photographing that beautiful city. Miss Beardsley, in genuine fervor, said: "'On one side one sees the noted Colorado mountains rising up in shiny jutted peaks to the other side lakes (artificial) but as beautiful as those of Geneva: while in front are glowing plains, a heavenly place for the sun slowly to hide behind." Although she was entranced with Beautiful Boulder, the charm of Bellingham easily displaced Boulder in her heart; for Bellingham has the ocean, that mysterious something that holds one. , B. S. N. S. Miss M.: "Plow did you get that stitch in your lip?" TT. G.: "Oh, I got hemmed in a crowd." ]3, S. N.. S. Prof.: "As a success you have been a failure." Student: "Yes professor, but as a failure I have been a success. B. S. N. S. Normal Junior: "I see the Training school is going in for Lumbering." Stupid: "How so?" - N. J.:"We now have a; Trunk and a stump teaching iii the Training department. Miss Roberts, our new Education 8 instructor, said in a recent interview, "The variety of climate here, was, I think, my very first impression. You have , here the clear blowy days of Kansas, the warm summer mildness of Virginia, and the rainy daj^s of Wisconsin. Altogether, the climate is wonderful and one cannot be here too long!" Miss Roberts has already become a victim of our Sound's climate and she continued to talk of it with enthusiasm, "There is a heavenly lure about Puget Sound that inevitably draws about this great Northwest that holds one. It seems to me that all Sound people should be big-souled and free, and from those with whom I have come in contact, I find this big-soulness and freeness carried out." In the school, Miss Roberts has found friends on all sides and consequently the usual lonesomeness and homesickness are lacking. She is greatly impressed with the opportunities that the students have with extra school activities, through music and clubs. She believes that the student must have this extra-activity if she is to become a factor in the community in her capacity as teafcher. Miss Roberts is very much interested in our beautiful new dormitory and she looks to it as a factor in training the student, the essentials of a home. Miss Roberts feels that the future teacher that goes out in life needs this social training that only such a social center may give. "After the first week, I found in writing home I referred to the school as our school, and I account this to the big-souled community that has made me feel so completely at home." B. S. N. S. The butter ups are washed and dried, and safely set away. The cattle mewing on the hills, Await another day. The pumpkins plucked from off the trees, The apples dug and packed.

A visitor in the Junior High School at ten minutes of nine in the morning-would find a well planned tour of inspection in progress. Some very iuicresting and purposeful class discussions are being held each day. Last Wednesday afternoon at the regular assembly period, a very enthusiastic rally was'held. The main object was to arouse some enthusiasm for Friday night basketball game with Eureka. The Junior High pupils boast of two song writers. Two of the songs sang at the rally last Wednesday afternoon were contributed by Dorothy Strong and Mabellc Powell! both of the 7ih Grade. Club Song.

There was a soft rustling like the crushing of tissue paper when he sat down among the drifted leaves. The summer's wind roused the rafters of the trees, and from far away a whippoorwill called to its mate. The moon rays tinged the few misty clouds in the sky. He laid the old squirrel rifle on the cool moss. He knew that' Jim Conn would come presently and then all would be over.

Jim Conn would cross the ridge that night, he knew, and he contemplated shooting him in the back. Down in the little valley a light blinked from the Conn cabin, and from the fireplace, blue smoke curled up into the moonlight. He sat meditating, thinking of his boyhood days, days when he and Jim Conn, as barefooted boys, fished and waded creeks together then came the family feud, and now "only me and him are left" he mumbled aloud to himself. The wind grew stronger, causing a rubbing and squeaking among the pines. A noise sounded down the dim trail. He examined the rifle carefully letting it rest across his knees. A night hawk sang nearby, its notes re-echoing in the cliffs. He wondered if the rifle shot would be heard in the valley. A slight trembling shook his strong body at a vision of Jim Coim rolling to one side of the trail, the warm blood making a wet patch on the ground and leaves. Suddenly, on a carpet of silver, mountain moss, Avhere the dew sparkled in the moonlight, two misty, bare-footed figures appeared. He hovered closer in the shadows and watched them melt away. He stood up, leaning against a tree, trembling. Someone was coming up the path. He tightened his grip on the rifle and waited. The man coming up the trail, whistled an old tune. Again the two misty figures drifted across the open space. He laid the rifle on the moss; he knew now that he could never shoot him. He stood in the shadows with moist eyes, and watched the tall figure of Jim Conn pass on into the darkness down the mountain. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1922 January 13 - Page 4 ---------- BEI/LING-HAM,-"WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1921 The WEEKLY MESSENGER Published by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham.

King MARY ANN'S GRADES TWO OR THREE hundred times there was a girl named Mary Ann Mary Ann wasn't really "smart," as tlin people ot! her home town admitted, but she was quite a bright girl and "never had no trouble at school." Mary Ann went to Normal. She was a little bit afraid at first, but she soon discovered that things went quite smoothly even-when she didn't study. True, our heroine didn't receive any laurels for scholarship, but neither did she receive any pink slips. So that was that. But, wait! Mary Ann applied for practice teaching the second quarter and received it. Yes, Mary Ann received a two-credit assignment. Her lesson plans were pretty badly mutilated and her supervisor was frankly dubious. The third quarter came to an end and Mary Ann was "kind of glad." She heard that by giving a self addressed, self stamped envelope to the Registrar she could have her grades sent to her parents. Mary Ann joyfully complied. She could hardly wait to get home that week-end. Visions of A's and B's danced in her head. As soon as she readied home she cried, "Did my grades come?" and seized the card. Oh, poor Mary Ann! Here is what she saw: Library Instruction, C. Expression, C; Education 20, C. English 1, D. Teaching, D. Alas, for Mary Ann! She returned to school " a sadder and wiser girl." She decided that her old haunts must know her less often and that maybe the library was meant to function, instead of to adorn the building. The quarter was partly gone, so she had to make up for lost time. We would like to see Mary Ann's grades next time, wouldn't you? And we are glad the faculty has decided to give quarter grades to students. B. S. N. S. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AT NORMAL? QLD STUFF" or "Crabbing." That's what this would have been termed had there been no good English week. Now we suppose it will be called "antiquated material" or "inappropriate expostulation." Wonder what the Hebrews called the Ten Commandments. The "Ten Crabs," perhaps. About third in the Normalite's Ten Commandments comes one like this: '' Thou shalt not babble in Assembly.'' We used to agree with the little Junior who told Dr. Miller that he didn't believe in capital punishment in the schools. We USED to. However, after sitting between two communiaative neighbors for awhile, and after being talked over and around and thru for an hour, we begin to wonder if there aren't two sides to the question. Agreed, that chattiness is charming and a sense of humor a saving grace. It does not follow that the girl (or young man) who overflows with conversation during a' beautiful concert and giggles thru a splendid address is either witty or courteous. It means that she (or he) is just a plain nuisance. Keep quiet for your own sake. Keep quiet for the sakes of those around you. If even these two considerations fail to motivate you to quiet, remember the good example you owe to the faculty. B. S. N. S. ' ^ . ^ GEOMETRY ON THE CAMPUS. A straight line is the shortest path between two points. Conceeded. So why try to prove that postulate on the campus ? Maybe you were demonstrating that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum. of the squares of the other two sides? Leave that to the G-eometry class or use a blackboard. Yesterday we. discovered, on reaching High street, that we had forgotten our hat. Just three minutes till car time! We cut the campus. Looking up, we encountered the sad gaze of Mr. Bond. We decreased some seventy magnitudes. We here highly resolve that Mr. Grady shall not have mowed in vain; that this campus of the students, for the students and by the students shall not become a checker board.

This poem might be called: New Year— ] 022. Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky, The flying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. Ring out the old, ring in the new, Ring, happy bells, across the snow: The year is going, let him go; Ring out the false, ring in the true. Ring out the grief that saps the mind, For those that here we see no more; Ring out the feud of rich and poor, Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out a slowly dying cause, And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life, . With sweeter manners, purer laws. Ring out thewant, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring ou, ring out thy mournful rhymes, But ring the fuller minstrel in. Ring out false pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of foul disease; Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring in the valiant man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of" the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be.

Introducing the speaker, Mr. Bond said he knew that the student body more greatly appreciated an entertainment by one of our own faculty, than by an outsider. He also declared, that the value of anything presented by members of the Normal Faculty to be of the highest merit The reading which Professor Rahskoff gave was one of Clarence Budding- ton, Kelland's famous "Scatergood" stories, entitled, "The' One-legged Deacon." The selection was both humor-out and instructive, judging by the applause, the students will welcome similar programs in the future.

Dr. Nash went to Chicago by way of Los Angeles. He will spend most of the time investigating and getting acquainted with his new duties as head of the Foundation for Education for the Congregational Church. Dr. Nash will probably return in time for the spring Commencement exercises. Some of us are convinced that Miss Mead is indeed a true prophet. A week before Christmas, when she predicted the usual crop of colds, measles, and other ailments, some of us were iniclined to take matters lightly. Today, we are painfully ware of the tragic seriousness of the situation and are consoling each other in hoarse whispers. Many students have safeguarded themselves from smallpox by submitting to vaccination. Woe to the unthinking person who brushes against a vaccinated arm—he is in imminent danger of incurring the righteous indignation of the owner. Miss Mabel Whitmore was married to Mi\ James R. Christie, at Mount Vernon on Tuesday, December 21. The young couple spent the holidays with Mr.' Christie's sisters in Sedro-Woolley and then returned to Bellingham, which will be their home in the future. Mrs. Christie expects to graduate in March. The women members of the faculty swimming .class proudly state that they have mastered the stroke at last! Miss Melba Hinds, who attended Normal last year, was a visitor last Wednesday. Thank you for the readings, Mr. llahskopf. We enjoyed "The Deacon's Wooden Leg," and "Compressed Housekeeping" immensely. Word has been received that Miss Druse is recovering rapidly and is enjoying herself at her father's ranch in Yakima. Bon voyage, Miss Longley! We hope you will have a splendid time in sunny Honolulu. Miss Mead is looking forward to a campaign in the form of a "Health Week." Miss Mead suggests that it might be well for all students (young men included) to take a January health inventory to see just what they are doing or need to do, to keep up their general health condition. She warns us- that any slackers will be in danger of havinsr someone in the department on their trail. Miss Mead also informs us that the evening inspection trips have begun in good earnest. ing. We wish him a speedy recovery. Miss Beardsley, who has just returned from* a trip to South Dakota, reports that the temperature there was twenty-five degrees below zero but that "the weather was fine." Miss Jean Acorn and Miss Helen Cummins were enthusiastically received by the Rebecca Lodge in South Bellingham, where they gave several readings last week. Mi-. Kolstad has been working on his garage and worrying about his talk in assembly. Mr. Kolstad says that most of the faculty members have been notified and are condoling with each other. Mr. Rahskopf is very much in demand lately. On Monday he entertained the members of the Aftermath Club with the readings which were so thoroughly appreciated in assembly last Friday. At the P. T. A. meeting at Whatcom High school last evening, Mr. Rahkskopf read "The Suppressed Desire." Gertrude Egbert, Esther Rheddick and Lillian Brotnov anticipated a trip to Seattle during the week-end. Miss Edens spent last week-end in Seattle. Mr. Hoppe leaves soon to complete his lecture tour over the state. Mr. Klemme visited extension classes this week. The faculty members who remember Mrs. Tullalah le Conte Elston will sympathize with her over the loss of her husband, J. A. Elston.

MISS MILLER WRITES Miss Irene Miller, former Normal student, writes from Hawaii: "Makawas, Man., T. H., Dec. 14, 1921. "Dear Doctor Nash: "As I often think of dear old B. S. N. S., down here in Hawaii and thought perhaps you would like to hear a little about the country and my experiences. "The trip over was very enjoyable for the weather, I thought, was perfect. Honolulu was a great disappointment at first altho it was thrilling to see Diamond Head and the harbor from the ship. We visited Diamond Head, the Punch Bowl, Round Top, all of the Forts, the great dry' dock at Pearl Harbor and of course spent all the time we could spare at Waikiki Beach. I always imagined it to be a great fashionable beach and therefore was greatly surprised to find it is only two blocks long and not so fashionable but a place where everyone swims to his heart's content or rides the famouse surf board. "We attended the Pan-Pacific conference. David Starr Jordan and others ably entertained us. The conference was held in the Throne room of the Palace. "I must hustle along to Makawas on the island of Maui, where I am teaching. Makawas is about 1,700 feet up the side of th elargest extinct volcano in the world. Mt. Haleokala.

Japanese and numerous mixtures. There are eleven teachers here, five ITaolis (white or mainland teachers) three Portuguese, two Chinese and one Hawaiian.

These buildings are frame and the upper parts of two sides are screen so Ave have plenty of fresh air. "Last night we saw a beautiful lunar rainbow.

Mr. Bond says that in order to overcome the short summer session of nine weeks and to comply with the year's residence law, which requires thirty-six weeks for the first year's credits, arrangements have been made to continue the summer quarter for three weeks beyond the regular session. This gives any student entering tliis quarter a chance to get an elementary certificate if he so desires. Last summer Mr. Bond. Mr. Kibbe and Mr. Bever donated three weeks teaching for this purpose; this year, Mr. Bond states, the teachers will be paid. B. S. N". S.

One of the most valuable assets a teacher can possess is the power to express her ideas in a clear, concise, and impressive manner. Sh cannot possibly do this if she is hampered by a defect in her speech. The most illuminating statement, when uttered by a stammering, unsteady voice, will fail to impress anyone. Furthermore, children have a decided tendency to do what "teacher does" and so it behooves us to become worthy examples. The idea that speech defects are inherent characteristics which cannot be overcome is not well founded. Fortunately, Bellingham Normal students are given every opportunity to correct any speech defects they may have. Mr. Rahskopf has organized a class in expression which has for its purpose the correction of these defects. This class is made up of students who are reported to the scholarship committee by the faculty. These students are required to take the course called "Expression A" unless excused by the committee. Expression A meets four times a week and in most cases two hours credit is given for the work. At present there are fourteen students in the class. Miss Beatrice Dalquist is acting as assistant and will conduct the class when Mr. Rahskopf leaves on January 20th. Tn regard to the method employed. Mr. Rahskopf states, "Good speech depends upon a few fundamental principles; the most important of which is coordination between the normal center of breathing and freedom of the tone passage. All defects of speech, no matter what their evident nature, ar caused by a lack of this fundamental response. "The first step in removing a speech defect is, therefore, the establishment of this co-ordination as a direct response to impression.

When he has learned to allow the normal speech responses to take place at all times, his speech defect is removd." While it is not possible to entirely cure ~a speech defect in twelve weeks, much can be done to enable each student to overcome his individual difficulties. Many students have already improved remarkably and it is hoped that by the end of the quarter the" will be well started upon the road to good speech. B. S. K S — Another Fish Tale.

ISSUE 7, VOLUME 136 Legislature passes gay rights bill BY PETER JENSEN The Western Front To the elation of gay rights advocates statewide, the Washington state Legislature passed a bill Friday outlawing the discrimination of gays and lesbians in housing and employment. The Senate passed the bill 25- 23 with the support of the majority Democrats and a lone Republican, Sen. Bill Finkbeiner of Kirkland. The House of Representatives-passed it 60-37 Jan. 20. The bill, which lawmakers have tried to pass in similar forms for 30 years, failed to pass in the Senate last year by one vote. Gov. Christine Gregoire will sign the bill today and it will take effect in June, 90 days after the current legislative session ends. "You just can't have the kinds of discrimination we permitted in prior generations," said Rep. Fred Jarrett, R-Mercer Island. Jarrett, who has a lesbian daughter, was one of six Republican representatives to support the bill in the House. He said Finkbeiner, as the only Republican senator to support the bill, was the most instrumental in its passage. Finkbeiner voted against the bill last year because he was the Senate Minority Leader, Jarrett said. After relinquishing the position at the start of this year's legislative session, he no longer had to vote along party lines, he said. "Last year, he voted with his caucus," Jarrett said. "This year, in my opinion, he voted with his conscience." The bill expands the Washington Law Against Discrimination to include sexual orientation. The law protects Washington residents from discrimination based on race, gender, physical disability and national origin. Under the expanded law, employers cannot fire or refuse to hire people based on their sexual orientation. It also prohibits landlords from refusing rent to people based on sexual orientation. see LAW, page 3 SMOKING BAN CHRIS JOSEPH TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT Casa Que Pasa, known for its world-famous Potato Burrito, allows customers to smoke in its bar despite the Washington state smoking ban and is now facing a lawsuit from Whatcom County. County sues Bellingham bar BY MEGAN SWARTZ The Western Front Whatcom County is suing the owner of Bellingham restaurant and tequila bar Casa Que Pasa for refusing to prohibit smoking inside of his establishment â€” the first lawsuit of its kind since the state's indoor smoking ban. The county is seeking a court order in an effort to stop the owner, Abel Jordan, 33, from allowing smoking inside his business, said Randall J. Watts, Whatcom County deputy prosecuting attorney. Watts said the county could seek a maximum of $100 a day in fines from the first complaint, Dec. 9, 2005, until the court date. A county judge will set the court date. Jordan said he doesn't want to release names, but he knows of a few businesses that still allow smoking. "I'm just the one being targeted for it," Jordan said. "I am the only one standing up against this law." Jordan received a summons from the county prosecutor's office on Friday and has 20 days to agree to appear in court or could face contempt of court charges, Watts said. The court will decide on the amount of the penalty by determining the amount fine per day and the date when the violation first occurred, he said. Initiative 901, the Washington Clean Indoor Air Act, went into effect Dec. 8, 2005, after two-thirds of Whatcom County voters supported it.

Major pathways, such as the pathway connecting Carver Gym andRed Square, are in need of repairs after a 27-day rain spell this winter, said Rod Walker, temporary supervisor for University Outdoor Maintenance. The department has the funding to make the repairs, but is waiting for drier weather conditions said William Managan, the assistant director of operations for Western's facilities management department, but he could not give a specific date for the repairs. "We're in the process, and a work order has been sent out," Managan said. He said problems such as the flooding outside of Carver Gym involve tree roots growing into the aging pipeline system, causing them to crack and leak. Western built many of the pipes in the 1980s, Walker said. Campus facilities see PUDDLES, page 3 JARED YOAKUM / THE WESTERN FRONT Western students skirt past a puddle outside of Red Square Monday.

Compiled by Rigis Vincenti Family exercises freedom of speech JEFFREY LUXMORE / THE WESTERN FRONT Christian fundamentalist Bob Johnson, 49, preaches to Western students about God Wednesday afternoon in Red Square, while his son David, 17, holds a sign. Heart of Western's campus remains free of censorship BY JEFFREY LUXMORE The Western Front Bob Johnson said he moved to Spokane from Bellingham in 1991 after God told him the area along the Pacific coast was to be destroyed by an earthquake or tsunami. He and his family visited Western's Red Square Wednesday, Jan. 25 to warn students to repent for their sins or face eternal damnation in hell. Anyone can congregate and speak in Red Square as long as they don't interrupt the normal operations on campus, according to Western's Exterior Space Use Policy. A person making excessive noise or blocking walkways would be in violation of the policy. Police would ask the individual to stop, and if the person didn't comply, he or she would be subject to criminal trespassing charges at the officer's discretion, according to the policy. Lee Enell, event services manager for the Viking Union, said larger events, such as a concert or events needing a table must schedule with the Viking Union administration in advance. Red Square is the only free-speech area the administration authorizes on campus, she said. University Police assistant chief David Doughty said individuals preaching on Western's campus are not unusual. "Police just consider them a nuisance," he said. Doughty said the Constitution protects free speech, but he said that police would approach a demonstrator in two scenarios: If an individual is in violation of school policy, such as being too loud, police could consider them to be trespassing. Police would also approach demonstrators if their words or actions could instigate violent reactions, he said. Doughty said he remembered an incident during the Vietnam War when a student group posted flyers about a war protest on campus. The flyers said the group would napalm a cat in Red Square at noon. "You can bet the police were there at noon^ne said. The napalm claim turned out to be a gimmick to draw a crowd, Doughty said. Police usually don't interfere with demonstrations in Red Square unless someone complains about policy or law violations, he said. If police anticipate possible conflict, they may attend the event, he said. For example, if someone held a gay rights rally, he said, police might have an officer occasionally supervise demonstrations to prevent potential harassment or violence problems. Police did not interfere with Johnson's demonstration Wednesday afternoon. Western freshman R.B. Wick joined people listening to Johnson on Wednesday. "All he's preaching is that 'we're going to hell, going to hell, going to hell,' " Wick said. "He kindofpissedmeoff." Wick listened to students who asked Johnson questions about the Bible and Christianity. One student asked where in the Bible it says homosexuals would go to hell. As students were leaving, Johnson asked them to come back because he said he had all the answers. "How the hell can he have all the answers?" Wick said. Johnson's wife, Diane, and five of his nine children joined him for the demonstration. Johnson talked while his 17-year-old son David held a sign listing groups of people Johnson called sinners and said are doomed to hell. The sign listed fornicators, drunkards, thieves, adulterers, god-haters, liars and homosexuals. Three Western students, sophomores Jen Bainbridge and Lydia Grace Henson and junior Barbara Martin, created signs in response to Johnson, with messages including "Gay boys are hawt(sic)!" Doughty said students should leave if demonstrations upsetthem. Students should avoid engaging with demonstrators in Red Square, he said. "If they don't have a crowd, then they'll probably leave," Doughty said.

Willis said after approximately 10 complaints from customers, health department workers visited the restaurant on Dec. 19, 2005 and found the bartender and Jordan smoking inside the bar. The health department is targeting Casa Que Pasa because the restaurant is receiving more customer complaints than other local businesses and Jordan still refuses to comply, Willis said. "It's the actual customers complaining about the smoking, not just the health department's complaints," Willis said. The only other restaurant under watch by the health department is the Pastime Tavern in Blaine, but the owner recently agreed to enforce the ban, Watts said. Jordan said he disagrees with the perception that only customers have complained. Jordan said he heard rumors about competitors calling in complaints to ruin his business because individuals can report complaints anonymously. Watts said the focus of the lawsuit is to stop the restaurant from permitting smoking. "We are not going against individual smokers," Watts said. "We are going after the owner because it is the county's responsibility to stop this violation of the law." The health department enforces the ban inside of businesses and the police cite individual smokers. An individual smoking citation costs $100, Whatcom County Undersheriff, Carey James said. Jordan said this is a problem because the police are busy with other work and rarely cite tickets, but the health department has the resources and the time, so business owners end up being fined. "Clearly, lawyers didn't write this law because it is poorly written," Jordan said. "In my opinion, any law should be prosecuted equally." Jordan said the law enforcement is unfair. The health department came to his business and cited him but not individual smokers, he said. "Hopefully enforcement on this restaurant will get business owners to comply with the law," Watts said. "Then this won't become an epidemic." The health department can't shut down Casa Que Pasa due to indoor smoking complaints because smoking in a restaurant isn't a health code violation, but a violation of the Clean Indoor Air Act, he said. Jordan said Casa Que Pasa is in CHRIS TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT Casa Que Pasa cashier Veronica Jensen chats with her roommates Monday afternoon. no danger of shutting its doors. "It seems to me that I am being made an example of because I publicly disagree with this law," Jordan said. Despite the tension between the county health department and Casa Que Pasa, Willis said the dispute remains amicable. Writers of the Clean Indoor Air Act expected the first couple of months to be rocky, Willis said. "Locally, we are very happy with the results," Watts said. "Most people have been incredibly compliant." Puddles: State legislature would have to approve large-scale project Law: Republicans turn attention to state Supreme Court CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Washington became the 17th state to pass laws protecting gays and lesbians from discrimination, said Sen. Harriet Spanel, D-Bellingham. The Senate attached an amendment to the bill, however, asserting the state doesn't endorse any specific belief, practice, behavior or orientation. To gay rights advocates, the bill is a triumph 30 years in the making. The state's first openly gay lawmaker, the late Sen. Cal Anderson of Seattle, a Democrat of Seattle, introduced the bill in 1977. He sponsored the bill for eight years and Spanel said he deserves credit for keeping it alive. Anderson died of AIDS in 1995. With Democrats controlling the House and the Senate and a Democrat in the governor's office, passing the bill was only a matter of time, Spanel said. Republicans controlled the Senate three years ago, and the bill never made it to a floor vote, she said. Republicans voted against the bill because they feared it would be an indictment of the viewpoints LOCAL SENATORS Sen. Spanel, D-Bellingham YES Sen. Brandland, R-Whatcom County NO their supporters hold about sexual orientation, said Rep. Doug Ericksen, R-Ferndale. Ericksen, who voted against the bill, said Republicans will focus their attention to a state Supreme Court case regarding gay marriage. In the coming weeks, the court could overturn a ban on gay marriages within the state. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 management and outdoor maintenance said they prioritize problems with health and safety concerns first, such as tripping hazards. Damage prevention comes second, such as damage to building infrastructure, and maintenance comes last. The maintenance category includes standing water issues, unless it poses a danger to students and faculty or causes damage to facilities, Managan said. "I do not know of any damage incurred to the (Red Square) courtyard," Managan said. Western receives funding for maintenance projects from an annual operation budget and a capital budget funds, which funds larger, long-term projects, such as replacing Western's pipe system. Director of Capital Budget Renee Roberts said a campus-wide renovation of Western's pipe systems would require money from the 2007-2009 budget. Campus-wide improvements would cost Western millions of dollars, Walker said. The state legislature has to review and approve the capital budget every two years, Roberts said.

Sales have dropped since the start of winter quarter. BY SHANNON DEVENY The Western Front Western's Associated Students Bookstore reported a 6 percent drop in sales this quarter compared to winter quarter 2005. Students buying or trading books from other retailers and bookstore personnel adjusting to a new inventory system involving new cash registers and computer programs caused the decline in sales, AS Bookstore manager Lara Mann said. "To have a 6 percent decrease is not something we want to see, we would like to see increases in sales," she said. "Fewer students are buying books here." Bookstore's sales began to drop winter quarter 2005, Mann said. "Textbooks aren't getting any cheaper," Mann said. "And students are trying to save money." Many students buy books online from the Amazon.com Web site and also post their used books on Web sites to sell and trade textbooks with other students, AS Bookstore textbook manager Robert Perks said. "I don't sell out of all my titles," Perks said. "It's the fourth or fifth week of the quarter here and there's still a lot of material on the shelves, which means students are buying them somewhere else." Mann said the bookstore lost money because of mistakes when adjusting to the new inventory system and an increase in expenses after raising the staffs wages. The campus bookstore also lost sales this quarter to local competitor, The College Store in Sehome Village, Mann said. "Our local competitor did some pretty aggressive marketing in the fall with things such as flyers so freshmen who might not have known they existed now do," she said. The College Store manager Joshua Canham said his store tried to market itself on Western's campus to increase their sales fall quarter. He said store representatives dressed up in gorilla suits and handed out bananas and flyers to students. The College Store has a better selection of used textbooks and lower prices than the AS Bookstore, Western junior Tyler Wilkens- Haigh said. "The campus bookstore doesn't have as big a used book selection as The College Store," he said, "which hurts them because people want to get the cheapest books possible, and if they can get them all in one place, they will go there." The AS Bookstore does not have a parking lot for customers, which hurts business because students find it inconvenient to carry around textbooks they buy with them while on campus, Wilkens-Haigh said. "I know the Bookstore on campus has limited parking, which makes our parking lot a selling point for students," Canham said. An advertising intern will generate a new marketing plan to try and improve sales in the spring, Mann said. She said she wants the bookstore to increase its audience size and interest. The bookstore is trying other tactics to improve sales, including using its staff more effectively by consolidating the number of employees who do certain tasks and bringing in new products, such as jewelry and more iPod accessories, she said. "We are going to talk to the instructors whose books aren't selling to see why students aren't buying books or enrolling and find out if there is anything we can do to fix that," Perks said. In an economics class of 118 students, 13 students bought their books from the campus bookstore, Perks said. This class resulted in a loss of approximately $7,000. Perks said every quarter he buys books for each class based on the total number of spots available for student registration. When not enough students enroll in a class, the store loses money on all the books it couldn't sell. He said students may see the current 50 percent buy-back value of their books rise in the upcoming quarters as an enticement for students to shop at the AS Bookstore. "If you spend your money lt;here it stays on campus," Mann said. "If you spend your money online or down the hill (at The College Store) you don't get any return on it."

Scientists hunt Bigfoot in Malaysia The Malaysian government is sending two teams of scientists to locate a large ape after reported sightings in rainforests in southern Malaysia, a government official said on Jan. 27. Reports of "Bigfoot" sightings have dominated the Malaysian media for weeks, with many sightings of a tall, apelike, hairy creature in the Endau-Rompin National Park, the national news agency Bernama said. The government sent a team of scientists to explore the forests and another team to study the creature itself, according to Bernama. Natives who live in the area claim to have seen the creature for generations, said Vincent Chow, a worker in the area who has lobbied the government to investigate past sightings. Now scientists need to confirm the reports, he said.

Teen files complaint against school Doug Anglin, 17, filed a complaint with the United States Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights accusing his public high school of treating girls better than boys, Rueters reported. According to Anglin's Dec. 9 statement Milton High School in Milton, Mass., discriminates against boys by punishing them more than girls. The school is less likely to encourage boys in academics. The accusation goes against the traditional stereotype of boys being favored more than girls, according the article. The school's principal denied the complaint and said Milton High does not discriminate against groups or individu- , als, according to the article.

Western's Vehicle Research Institute constructs its latest car, Viking 38 BY LOREAN SERKO The Western Front Nestled inside the brick walls of the Ross Engineering Technology building are students designing, welding and assembling with Western's Vehicle Research Institute. Since the summer of 2004, the institute's Formula Society of Automotive Engineers' team has been working on their newest prototype â€” Viking 38. In 1974, former Western professor Michael Seal, who retired in 2004, established the institute. VRI designs and builds experimental vehicles such as hybrids, race cars and off-road vehicles. Students have entered the vehicles in engineering design competitions all throughout the United States. "(Western) is one of the only schools that your first day, freshman year you will be able to work in the shop with the cars," said Brian Seiler, Western sophomore and Formula SAE team leader. "As long as you are willing to learn and ask questions, you are welcome here." The Hybrid, Mini Baja and the Formula SAE are the three teams which make-up the institute. The Hybrid team works on building cars with electric and gas powered engines, the Mini Baja works on creating off-road vehicles and the Formula SAE teams builds cars which have restrictions on the cars body and engine, Larsen said. "It is a great experience because we are learning on our own and we are able to apply it hands-on," said Western senior Chris Larsen, who is a member of the institute. The Formula SAE team is designing and building Viking 38, which they will enter into the Formula SAE West engineering design competition at the California Speedway in Fon-tana, Calif., in June, Western junior and team member John Furtado said. Western senior Leon Cheung, who has been a member of the institute for a year, said the competition involves 130 vehicles, designed by college students from as far away as Finland and Australia. Students participating in the competition envision, design and construct small formula racing cars, Larsen said. The Society of Automotive Engineers lays out the restrictions on the formula car, Larsen said. "In reality, they want us to build a vehicle that is reliable, inexpensive and that uses low production, that someone could buy and race on the weekends," Seiler said. "But in reality, PHOTO COURTESY OF JOHN FURTADO Western formula team spent two years working on the Viking 35. The team completed the car in 2004. it is expensive and usually unreliable." A group of 15 students are now designing Viking 38, Cheung said. He estimated that an average team member works in the vehicle shop 10 hours per week. "We all came to college with a passion for working on cars and none of us have garages to do it," Seiler said. "This is our outlet for tinkering." . Larsen said the formula team divides itself into five sub-teams. One team works on completing the engine, another assembles and designs the car's suspension, a team is devoted to the body of the car while another team works on steering controls and one works on training the driver how to maneuver the vehicle. "It is so important that all the teams work together," Seiler said. "If one part is off or doesn't fit right, it messes up the whole process." Seiler said 90 percent of the car parts are manufactured at in the engineering building. "One thing that sets Western apart from other programs, is that we manufacture most of our own parts," Seiler said. Students use Computer Aided Design to diagram the vehicle and use Computer Aided Manufacture to make the car's parts. Seiler said they begin by designing each car part with CAD. After the students design the part, they review the plan to make sure everything will fit together. The students then take the computer design and enters it into a machine, which reads it and manufactures the part using a process of cutting and drilling, Larsen said. Unlike the previous six formula cars, Viking 38 will be the first formula car to be designed fully in CAD before making any parts, Cheung said. Teams in the past have created parts one by one and many don't fit together properly, he said. The team receives some money from Western, but the majority comes from local spon- sors.' Janicki Industries, located in Sedro-Woolley, donates parts such as carbon fiber, which is an essential material for constructing the car, Cheung said. Seiler estimates that it costs $25,000 to make one car, which would not be possible without the help of local sponsors. "It is so exciting to see the finished product and to know you were a part of it," Seiler said. Viking 30, another formula vehicle which the team built in 1998, appeared in Race Tech magazine and continues to be one of the only cars in Formula history with an engine built by students from raw materials, Seiler said. Students manage the team with advising from Western industrial technology professor Eric Leonhardt, Seiler said. Leonhardt has been the institute director for four years and built two cars at Western as a student from 1993 to 1995, Seiler said. "I enjoy reading and preparing for classes, but a good day for me is working in the lab with the students, building," Leonhardt said. Larsen said students don't have to be vehicle design the major to work with the team. "The team only attracts students from this major, but what we do involves management, engineering, accounting ^^vand graphic design," Furtado said. "If anyone has a car interest, really that's f \ enough." ILLUSTRATION COURTESY OF JOHN FURTADO Fifteen Western students are building the Viking 38 (above). The car will compete in June in the Formula SAE engineering design competition at the California Speedway in Fontana, Calif., in June. Judges expect students to envision and construct a formula-style car and grade them on design, engineering style and reliability. ---------- Western Front - 2006 January 31 - page 7 ---------- JANUARY 31,2006 FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 7 Organic coffee provides caffeine fix for residents BY JANI NYGAARD The Western Front *n a college town, where late nights and early mornings are inevitable, a cup of coffee can be a student's best friend. .Bellingham ranks fourth in the nation with 2.5 coffee shops per 10,000 residents according to a NPD Foodworld ReCount survey, which tracks the eating and drinking habits of Americans. Bellingham ranked behind San Francisco, Anchorage and Seattle, respectively. Getting a caffeine fix is hardly a problem, but not all coffee drinkers consider where their cup of coffee came from or what it might be doing to their body. "We felt responsible that if we were putting a product in peoples' mouths, that it be free of pesticides," Moka Joe owner Trudy Scherting said. Moka Joe, located on James Street, is one of six coffee roasters in the nation that purchases and roasts 100 percent organic and Fair Trade certified coffee beans, according to the company Web site. Fair Trade certification guarantees roasters pay coffee farm owners a fair price for the coffee, she said. Fairtrade Labeling Organizations International, located in London, sets the worldwide Fair Trade certification standard. More than one million farm owners, farmhands and their family members in 50 countries benefit from Fair Trade certification standards set by the organization. Many family-owned farms in coffee producing countries, such as Peru, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Mexico, don't know what fair price is. The farmers can be taken advantage of by the roasters who buy the coffee by purchasing the coffee for as little as four cents per pound. "It sends farmers into a desperate situation," Scherting said. The loss of profit leads some farmers' wives and children into prostitution, she said. CHRIS JOSEPH TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT Barista Callie Provazek reads a book during the slow hours of her shift Monday afternoon. Pik-Me-Up Espresso is the only drive-thru in Bellingham that serves Moka Joe coffee. The main goal of the organization is to guarantee that coffee buyers meet a trading criteria. Trading standards stipulate that traders have to pay a fair price to producers that covers their cost of living and production and sign a contract with the farmers allowing long-term planning and sustainable production practices. This ensures farmers' families are not forced to work in the fields and children can attend school. The U.S. Department of Agriculture classifies food that farmers produce without using conventional pesticides as organic. The insecticide DDT and the herbicide Round-Up can both keep a product from being organic certified. The use of synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge and bioengi-neering practices can also lead the USDA to deny a product CHRIS JOSEPH TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT A Moka Joe Espresso sign is displayed outside the new Mallard Ice Cream and Cafe shop on Railroad Ave Monday afternoon. Mallard is among the few businesses in Bellingham that carry the organic brand. as organically certified. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a government- approved certifier inspects the farm to ensure the farmer meets USDA organic standards. Mallard Ice Cream, The Swan Cafe, Bargainica, Haggen and Pik-Me-Up Espresso are all establishments that buyers can purchase Moka Joe coffee. Pik-Me-Up is the only drive-thru coffee stand in Bellingham that serves Moka Joe, Pik- Me-Up owner Diane McCarthy said. After opening 12 years ago, Pik-Me-Up Espresso, located on Samish Way, is the oldest continuously running coffee stand in Bellingham, McCarthy said. But it hasn't always served organic coffee. McCarthy, who bought the stand in March 2005, kept the name but made the switch to organic. "I tried Moka Joe at a restaurant in town and loved their espresso," she said. Organic products are always more expensive than nonorganic foods, McCarthy said. "It's definitely a sacrifice financially to switch to organic," McCarthy said. "But I like supporting small local businesses." She said much of her customer base supports her business because the stand serves organic coffee. "A good handful of our clients are keyed into the fact that it's organic and Fair Trade," she said. "(The stand) has history too, so that helps." Although the USDA doesn't claim that organically grown products are healthier or safer, both Scherting and McCarthy think they are. "I'm convinced that it's pesticides in other products that give people upset stomachs," Scherting said. While some coffee drinkers say organic and non-organic coffee taste the same, Scherting said the effects on the body are what makes the difference. Bellingham resident Kay Campbell, a frequent Moka Joe customer agrees that organic coffee doesn't taste differently from non-organic coffee, but she can feel a disparity. "I can only drink organic coffee because the others upset my stomach," she said. "Same with my husband." The couple tried different Moka Joe coffees around Bellingham and found that none of the coffees upset their stomachs, Campbell said. "We were getting Starbucks before that," she said. "We were finding that it hurt our stomachs. But with Moka Joe coffee â€” the organic â€” we like the flavor and it doesn't bother us." ---------- Western Front - 2006 January 31 - page 8 ---------- SPORTS TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2006 â€¢ WESTERNFRONTONLINE.COM â€¢ PAGE 8 Water polo club faces difficulties early BY BRITTNEY LEIRDAHL The Western Front Western women's water polo team started its season this weekend with its first Northwest Division win in three years. The women played in the semi-final tournament Sunday at Curtis High School in Seattle, where they won a game against the University of Oregon and lost its other three games. Western freshman Caroline Barth said she's eager to start the season because the team has eight freshmen with impressive water polo experience are joining the team. "We have a lot of girls straight out of high school who played high school ball," Barth said. Barth quit playing basketball her freshman year at Paso Robles High School in Paso Robles, Calif., to play water polo and said she has never looked back. Barth comes from a family of water polo players â€” her father, brother and sister-in- law all played the sport. An inconvienent practice schedule prevented many veteran players from returning to the team this year. Team practices are from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sundays and 8 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Wade King Recreation Center pool. Barth said she has noticed the rigorous schedule helps her set a schedule with her school work. She said four veteran players quit playing water polo this year because of the late-night practices, but in Barth's case it benefits her. "Working out makes me feel better both physically and mentally," Barth said. Western junior and team captain Sarah Glaspell said she CHRIS HUBER / THE WESTERN FRONT Western freshman Caroline Barth receives instruction during the water polo club practice at the Wade King Recreation Center Thursday night. didn't play water polo in high school but participated on the She said she tries to encourage the girls to get together school swim team in high school.

Western sophomore Amy Williamson said practicing with her teammates motivates her to work harder than she would if she was alone. Williamson said water polo is different than sports such as baseball or basketball because the team only participates in playoff tournaments. She said Western's team competed in the league's semi- final tournament this weekend. The team will play in the league's final tournament on March 4. The team will not participate in tournaments leading up to the finals because it cannot afford entry fees, Williamson said. The league covers the fees for semi-finals and finals. Williamson said the competition this year will be tough, but with eight freshmen turning out, it should do better than it has done in previous years. Last year the team ended the season in last place in the Northwest Division, she said. Water polo became a sport club at Western in 1998. Glaspell said Western's team is in the smallest league bracket, but the team is competitive, so she has high expectations for this season. Glaspell said she hopes the team will finish higher in the league than they did last year. She said the league is divided into brackets based on the location. Western competes against teams such as the University of Washington, the University of Oregon, Western Oregon University and Oregon State University. Williamson said the team is facing changes in its leadership. Players have stepped up to fill in when their coach is unavailable for practices. The team's coach Danny Lowderman is unable to make it to most practices because the time conflicts with his work schedule. Williamson said the team would like him to be around more, but said he is trying to make it to as many practices as he can. Williamson said the team wants to get a new coach for next year's season because of Lowderman's unavailability. Williamson and Glaspell have taken over the role of coach this year by filling out paperwork for tournaments and running the team practices. Glaspell conducts most of the swimming drills at practice and Williamson works with the women on drills and techniques, Williamson said. "The captains are doing an awesome job for us," Barth said. To improve the team, Williamson said she wants the women to swim more laps than they have in the past. She said each practice the players swim approximately 1,500 yards before the team starts to scrimmage. "Some of our tournaments last year turned into swim meets," Williamson said. She said the other team would have the ball and be in the scoring position that forced Western to swim laps back CHRIS HUBER / THE WESTERN FRONT Western sophomore Amy Williamson defends the goal during the Western water polo club practice at the Wade King Recreation Center Thursday night. and forth during the game, never having a chance to score. The women also have to watch out for their opponents who don't always play fair. Glaspell said women on other teams play dirty by grabbing swimsuits of players under the water and pulling them under. Glaspell said this isn't legal but sometimes the players get away with it if referees don't see them. "Water polo can be an intense sport," Glaspell said. "The girls can be really nasty."

Outdoor maintenance faculty, who tend Western's grounds, haven't equipped Western's campus with an efficient drainage system and students, staff and faculty are the ones suffering. Nobody likes to walk into class wearing shoes soaking wet and jeans three shades darker around the bottom after trekking from one building to another. Most of the pools of water students find on campus are continuing to grow. People walking through campus consider some puddles, such as the one between Carver Gym and the Fine Arts building, as small ponds. If outdoor maintenance employees don't repair the drainage system, the problem will continue to get worse until traversing south to north campus will require a kayak. Red Square is another disaster zone that will continue to get worse. Western's founders built Fischer Fountain and buildings in Red Square on top of a peat bog that is slowly causing the buildings to sink. The unstable ground disrupts the bricks and when it rains it creates puddles that students, faculty and staff have to dodge every couple steps. While repairing the entire drainage system would be costly, the changes are necessary. The state legislature approved Western's budget for 2005-2007 in December 2004 and administration would have to factor large-scale renovations to the campus pipe system into the budget of 2007-2009. The outdoor maintenance department can use money in the budget that budgetary administrators earmark for campus maintenance to make minor repairs, but funds for replacing the cracked pipes all over campus will not be available unless included in the next budget, which administrator will decide at the end of the year. The flooding outside of Carver Gym is nothing new. Water covers the campus during the rainy months and has so for years. Budgetary administrators should have factored repairs to the drainage system into the 2005-2007 budget or previous budgets. New crack- resistant pipes need to replace the old clay pipes which are currently outdoor used all over Western's campus. Opting not to repair the system now will increase the amount of damage to Western's campus and will make the final bill much bigger than if action was taken now. The water will damage buildings, puddles will grow and Red Square will continue to sink. Hey, as a last resort, budgetary administrators could plan for a retractable dome that would enclose campus and prevent it from continuous flooding during the rainy seasons, but still allow fresh air to come in when the skies are clear. At least then students won't look or feel like drowned rats while they sit through class.

And we quote: 'Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear" â€” Mark Twain, American author One size doesn't fit all when it comes to meals BY KRISTI PIHL The Western Front Meal plans shouldn't be mandatory for students who live on campus. The lack of meal varieties limits students with eating restrictions such as vegans and vegetarians. The dining halls don't provide enough meal options for students with dietary needs. Students living on campus include vegetarians, vegans and students with dietary restrictions due to religion or health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Vegans don't eat any animal products, i n c l u d i ng eggs and milk products while vegetarians avoid only meat. Campus dining halls don't always offer a vegan main-course meal. The menu for Jan. 30 to Feb. 5, Fairhaven, Ridgeway and Viking Commons only offer 6 vegan main course entrees out of 42 lunches and dinners. Vegetarians have more options, with at least one main course labeled vegetarian at each meal. Still, compared to the non vegetarian selections, vegetarian options are minimal. However, the dining hall always provides cereal, rice and salad as backup. If those options aren't appealing, tough. The bean burgers, although always available, are enough to drive a firm vegetarian to starvation or even worse â€” meat. The rubbery cheese pizzas with non-existent crusts are another appetite killer for any vegetarian. The dining halls leave students who follow religious guidelines concerning diet little choice. Western's dining hall Web site doesn't even mention less well-known religious diets such as Jewish Kosher and Islamic Halal options. Students with medical conditions such as diabetes need to know how many carbohydrates are in their meals so they can figure out how much insulin flilmllA they need to keep his or her blood sugar balanced. The dining hall's set meal times may not coincide with the times they need to eat. The "all-you-care-to-eat" model of dining supports only patrons who eat three meals per day. For students who eat many small meals rather than a few large meals, the dining hall system doesn't work. A person who eats four, main entrees and three desserts pays the same amount as a person who eats an average meal â€” this doesn't sit well with the 'The rubbery cheese pizzas with non-existent crusts are another appetite-killer for \ any vegetarian.' person eating the smaller meal. At least the University of Washington doesn't make students pay for what they don't eat. Students only pay for the items of food they actually eat, according to the dining hall Web site. UWV meal plan is the equivalent of a Western's munch money that rolls the extra money into the next quarter. At the end of the year, if the remaining balance is more than $1,600 â€” UW refunds the remaining money. The dining halls serve food that doesn't measures up to most students' freshness standards. Food servers leave lettuce on the salad bar too long. Stale bread and cereal are available in abundance. Food service workers frequently overcook the meat and food sits under the heat lamps too long to retain proper food warmth. The stir-fry wok at Fairhaven sometimes flavors food with carbon flakes either from the pan or from burnt food mixed in with the entree. The dining halls don't offer a variety of fruit unless apples, oranges and bananas are all the fruit a college student could want. Associate director of University Residences Kurt Willis said Western has its reasons for requiring m a n d a t o r y meal plans. = = = = = Required meal plans help build community in the residence halls, he said. If meal plans were optional, more students would cook in residence halls that have inadequate sinks and cooking facilities, he said. see DINING, page 12 ---------- Western Front - 2006 January 31 - page 11 ---------- JANUARY 31,2006 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 \Aking Voices Do you think students who live on campus should have mandatory meal plans?

Most students who would cook in the residence halls if meal plans became optional already use rice cookers and microwaves in their dorm rooms and wash their dirty dishes in bathroom sinks. The students who cook consistently in their rooms are the same students who would drop the meal plan. University officials should put students first and corporation contracts second to give students the freedom to determine what food they purchase and eat. If food in the dining halls is worth eating, on-campus residents will keep meal plans if they become optional. However, optional meal plans would free students for whom the "all-you-care-to-eat" style of dining doesn't work. Students who can't find what they want to eat in the dining halls are paying more for food than they should have to. They pay for a meal plan they don't use and eat food they buy off campus. Students should have the freedom to opt out without compromising with University Residences that won't exempt a student because of personal preference. Students can appeal to University Residences by explaining their health concerns to the on-campus dietician as well as Willis. College students are adults.

A cohesive program similar to those existing in the 50's is one of the ways torestore excellence in u n d e r g r a d u a t e educatiion, Harold Enarson said. Enarson, former presidentof Ohio State University, served as a member of the Association of American Colleges, based inWashington, D.C., which issued a report critical of undergraduate education. The report "Integrity inthe College Curriculum: a Report to the Academic Community" (1985), was required reading forWestern's faculty this quarter. Enarson noted the report does give credit to colleges where credit is due.He said it is important, however, to examine the process that fragmented education and resulted ina lack of depth. "The objectives are to review, renew and refresh the undergraduate curriculum," hesaid. "Excellence was prominent in American education in the '50s after the U.S.S.R. launchedSputnick," he said. The resulting competition for technological superiority between the two countriesemphasized the need for sound education. "The process that fragmented the curriculum was underwayin the '60s," he said. "The '70s were a demographic nightmare," he said, with declines in enrollmentamong students in the 18-to-21 -year-old category leading to dire predict i o n s on the future ofuniversities. An increase in the numbers of returning older students and he entrepeneurial zeal ofinstitutions helped compensate for the losses, he said. In the past few years, lower-division education has been examined and now review has graduated to the university level, he said. "Students were found to be inarticulate in foreign languages and inarticulate in their own tongue," he said. Professorscomplained about not being able to teach the subject matter and instead having to teach reading tostudents who were ill-prepared for college, he said. A renaissance in education has begun, he noted,with higher scores reported on the various pre-college tests. While a need exists to find specialization and depth, "excellence is not to be pursued by any one aspectâ€”all are important," he said. "Theshopping mall (approach) is here to stay," he said, as universities continue to offer variety of coursework to meet the demands of employers. States are putting dollars on the line to improve education, headded. Four faculty members responded to Enarson's remarks and addressed issues raised by thereport within the context of the undergraduate program at Western. Allan Sleeman, of the business andeconomics department, said, "Students are poorly prepared to benefit from higher education." He saidhe thinks most students are not "intellectually curious." Sleeman offered a seven-point proposal toremedy some of the discrepancies. The proposal also examined the recommendation that studentsstudy two hours for every hour spent in class; a suggestion for ending the quarter system to allow timefor depth in studies; whether grades are inflated or reflect the true level of work â€¢ See EDUCATION, p.12 ---------- Western Front - 1985 November 26 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1985 FOR YOUR INFORMATION Kegs to go Apress conference announcing the establishment of a voluntary keg registration agreement isscheduled at 1:30 p.m. on Wed., Nov. 27 at the Up and Up Tavern, 1234 N.

Campus groups receive Fall funds ByLiisa Hannus Routine distribution of more than a half million dollars for Western student concerns wasapproved Friday by Services and Activities Fee-Split Committee members. The fee distribution, basedon one-third of the 1985-86 academic-year proposed budget, was determined by Roger Oettli, University Residences accountant. S A fees are used for the express purpose of funding student activitiesand programs of their particular institution. Three constituencies are covered by S A fees: Housingand Dining, the Associated Students and the Departmentally Related Activities Council (DRAC).DRAC consists of men's and women's athletics, intramurals, club sports, forensics, music, theater/dance and publications. This quarter Housing and Dining will receive $247,233.33, the AS will get$152,800.66 and $133,632.66 will go to DRAC. s distribution memo, was set aside as a be distributedat a Jack Smith, Viking ministrator and a the fee-split commit-had "reservations of much money in InOettli $17,864.26 reserve, to later date. Union ad member of tee, said he having so reserve. "It might be more appropriate to divide proportionally and at the end of the year put what's left in reserve," Smithsaid. Director of University Residences Keith Guy expressed the same opinion, adding that havinga reserve during the year may be "fair game to fund other things." Smith said that by distributing thereserve now instead of later, the "constituencies get advantage of the interest earlier." The committeepassed Smith's motion to approve the outlined distribution, with the stipulation the reserve will be dividedalong with the fees. The fee-split committee currently is reviewing a proposed distribution of fees forsummer session 1986, which will be self-sustaining. Paul Ford, vice president of academic affairs,presented his recommendation for fee disribution to the committee at its Nov. 12 meeting. He askedthe committee to give him its recommendation in the matter by the time members leave for the winterbreak.

Carol Noonan, speaking on behalf of the Council for Postse-condary Education,announced at the Washington Financial Aid Administrator's conference in October the state's plan for apilot program on adult literacy. Calling adult illiteracy a major "hidden" problem in the United States, theCPE estimates one of five adults in Washington is functionally illiterate. For the initial phase of theproject, which likely will run from early January through June 30, 1986, a maximum of $250,000 hasbeen targeted by the council. Ron Martinez, Western's director of financial aid, said he has expressedinterest to the council in receiving some of those funds to apply to the university work-study program.It is a relatively small amount of money, Martinez said. "In a situation like that we would not be talkingabout a large amount." Martinez added, however, "You don't need a lot of money to get the program togo a long way." The adult literacy program, Martinez said, "is perfect for those (students) planning tobecome teachers." He said some students, five at the most, would receive work-study pay for tutoringat Whatcom Community College. That college, he said, "is better to serve community needs in thatcapacity." Martinez said he believes a lot of interest was shown in the idea by other financial aidadministrators at the October conference. A WFAA representative, Kate Bligh, was appointed to the project. The recent moves by the federal government toward slashing federal student aid programs do not pose any real threat to the project, Martinez said. "Federal Work-Study is probably the safest ofall programs," Martinez said, adding the concept of work-study is well-liked by politicians.

The 1985-86 campus directory is out. In the past, the Western Foundation has subcontracted a printing company in Bellingham toprint the directory, but this year the foundation published the new edition of the directory on campus forthe first time in the publication's . history. This year the foundation decided to publish the directory at Western's print shop, located in the Commissary on the south end of campus. Michael Bayo, director of marketing and production for the new directory, said the foundation wanted to get a better idea ofwhat resources could be used on campus to put out the campus directory. The Western Foundation isWestern's fundraising office, soliciting contributions and raising money for university-related activities.The major source of income from printing the directory comes from selling advertising in the "yellowpages" in the directory. Jeanine C. DeLille, executive director of development for the directory, said,"We decided it would be a good opportunity if we could turn it into at least a break-even, if not a profit-making venture." When the directory was published off campus, the foundation was bringing in littleor no profit after expenses such as printing and graphics. This year the foundation is projecting aprofit of a few thousand dollars. This profit goes directly into the unrestricted fund of the foundation. Thismoney then is reallocated to students, faculty and staff who apply for funding through the foundation. Amain objective of the foundation was for the directory to be delivered to students in a timely manner. In the past, it hasn't been uncommon for the directory to be distributed as late as January. Also in pastyears, the directory has been printed in dot-matrix, which Bayo said is hard to read. So this'year thedirectory has a new type style to promote better readability for directory users. Another change in the directory is its circulation, which has increased to 8,000 from 7,000 copies. Bayo said theFoundation believed a need for more directories existed in past years, since the directories often have run out before winter and spring quarter. He said the foundation hopes to supply students enrolling forthe first time during winter or spring quarters with directories. The foundation is distributing thedirectory this year with the goal of providing one copy for each phone on campus. Besides the freedistribution to all on-campus residents and offices, the directory is being sold to parents and off-campus students in the bookstore for $2. Ill 1 hate it when that happens.

Currently theprogram is conducted in Parks Hall. A faculty member from the Educational Curriculum and InstructionOffice, Stephanie Kozick, made the request, saying the space they have now is inadequate and pointingout the advantages of the Fairhaven lounge: more square footage, running water, carpet and tile floorspace, better lighting and ventilation. The proposal was criticized at the meeting by concerned Fairhavenresidents, such as activities coordinator Dan Adolphson, who complained they "don't have that muchspace for programs now." The objection seems especially valid considering the times the lounge wouldbe needed: 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and noon to 1p.m. Monday and Wednesday. All are no doubt peak lounge-using hours, when most university studentshave nothing better to do t h a n h a n g o u t i n t h e l o u n g e . And of course, let's not forget the many dorm functions and "programs." What would residence hall living be without those 9:30 a.m. pizzafeeds and noon dances? Another concerned citizen, Fairhaven Residence Director Murray Larsen, asked"Where do we draw the line?" obviously aware of the domino theory of renting out lounge space. Wheredo we draw the line indeed. First it's handicapped infants and toddlers in the morning. Then it's drug-dealing adolescents in the evening. Before we know it, the Fairhaven stack 12 lounge will be a half-wayhouse for winos. Fairhaven Resident Adviser Mary Janyne McHaffie said she. will conduct a survey to get the opinions of residents in stacks 11 and 12. The Committee on Housing and Dining will look at thesurvey before making a decision at its meeting Dec. 4. Fairhaven residents, protect your territory from this threat. Tell those infants and toddlers to get their better lighting and ventilation somewhere elseâ€”maybe the median on College Parkway. Task force is under student jurisdiction The University ServicesCouncil (USC) will decide today whether to pursue the matter of an athletic task force to be run bystudents. The task force would investigate which intercollegiate sports should continue to receiveuniversity funding. In the Nov. 22 issue of the Front Michael James, USC director, said he proposed thetask force because a similar body in 1981 recommended Western athletics be reviewed every five years. Unfortunately, after the board recommended the dismantling of the deficit-ridden football program, theboard was pressured to cut university funding from six other sports instead of football. But this incidentshouldn't reflect on the need to re-establish this board and for students to make recommendations as tohow money should be allotted in the athletic department. Initially, Joan Sherwood, USC chair, said shequestioned the student's jurisdiction in the issue. Although she now has recognized the validity of theproposal (after a meeting with President G. Robert Ross), it is unfortunate a vice president for studentaffairs would ever suggest students would have no voice or jurisdiction in the matter of how money isallocated : in the athletics departmentâ€”especially since her interest in such matters seems to belacking. Sherwood has told USC members she no longer wishes to remain the chairwoman of the USC,even though it is required in the USC bylaws that the Vice- President for Student Affairs sit on the USC as a chair. If Sherwood has no interest in such matter, to question the jurisdiction of students regardingthe matter of an athletics task force is laughable. Just who's jurisdiction is it? The USC should pursuethis matter, and Joan Sherwood should recognize her responsibilities as vice president for studentaffairs at this university. liiiiiiwiiiiiii ilIitGardl; acP^^ Illllli'-rJ^ l i t l l l i F oM I f l f i l l l ^^ I11I1IIWEditorials reflect the majority opinion of the Western Front editorial board: the editor, managing editor,news editor, opinion editor and head l l : f l i l l l l : ; :iiiawl^ Opinion TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1985The Saga of Donald Dissident Last unbeliever captured By Bruce Ethelrude Vanderpool T he time: thepresent. The place: Mayb-erry RFD, just on the outskirts of the "Twilight Zone." The situation: 99.9percent of the'world's population is committed to the sake, values and realities of television. But oneman has not conformed. His name: Donald Dissident, the man who would not watch television. He isthe last of his kind. As of yesterday he was the most wanted man on the planet, but no more. This is atestimony of his capture. The sky was like lemon dew as the sun rose in the waking morning hours. Thestreets were cold and bare except for the passe principles of newspapers and literature blowing in thewind, scraping the pavement. Along the street also walked Donald Dissident. Dissident tried hard to keep a dazed expression on his faceâ€”the kind of expression one gets from staring at a glowing box too long. His breath made tiny clouds in the air and his feet kept a simple repetitionâ€”left over right. He felt safe.Around the corner, behind the Munster Mansion on 1313 Mockingbird Lane, was Ray Walston (of "MyFavorite Martian" fame). The antenna in the center of his head was poisedâ€”it could detect the brainwaves of a non-believer. A black-and-white squad car screeched from around the corner and stopped infront of Dissident. The car had the code name one-Adam-12. Out of the car popped officers Reed andMalloy. Guns raised, the officers issued their command: "Freeze, scum." Dissident's hose wasslammed and buried into the hood of the sedan. Handcuffs were slapped around his wrists, and into theback seat he was thrust. The car was warm inside. It took off for the courthouse. "So you thought youcould get away. You thought you could elude us forever. We've got you now, swine," Reed said."Listen," Dissident said, "you guys aren't pissed off because your show got cancelled, are you?" Malloy,who was driving, turned around and lashed Dissident in the ribs with his nightstick. The car swerved andnearly hit another carâ€”a red-and-white Torinoâ€”driven by undercover officers Starsky and Hutch. Blood bubbled on Dissident's lips. Under his breath he whispered, "I guess that was a dumb question." Thecar halted. It rested halfway up the 45 grey-cement stairs of the courthouse. Dissident was pulled fromthe car by a huge bulk of a man who called himself Mr. T. Dissident assumed the man had swallowed ahuge magnet See TV, p. 5 A collapsing situation Reduction plan considered By Andy Perdue Have you ever noticed those desks in some classrooms that aren't made for fat people? Most don't, but we fatpeople do. The writing area on the desktops are a little larger, so fat people have to lift up the part oftheir anatomies hanging over their belts just to sit down. I've discovered most of these desks are in the journalism department, which makes me wonder if I should get out of journalism and into physicaleducation. Last week I paid back one of these desks, avenging fellow plump students who havesuffered through 10-week courses having to sit in them. The revenge, or what others might describe as an unfortunate accident, was during a class that began uneventfully For about 15 minutes the professorberated us after returning our midterm exams. As he ended his speech I settled down to prepare myselffor another 35 minutes of exciting and thought-provoking intercommunication. Slowly but deliberately Ishifted my somewhat massive frame from right to left (those who know my political leanings shouldn't find that at all surprising). As the bulk of my body passed over the center of the chair, something gaveway. The next few seconds- passed so quickly it becomes difficult to describe, but the only thing 1 could think of was what I learned from a physics class I dropped last yearâ€”something about action andreaction. The front legs of the desk flew out from under me, sending me forward in a downward plunge. Iscrambled from the wreckage in the same manner as the United States nimbly ended World War II.Luckily I had decided to sit in the last row of the classroom that day, so I quickly but gingerly hopped into the next desk; hoping to save some embarrassment. As I looked up I tried to look as angry, yet amused as I could in light of the commotion I created. Incredibly enough only the two people sitting on eitherside were looking at me. One guy, about half my size, suppressed a laugh as he choked out an "Are you O.K.?" On the other side a woman who looked to be a third of my size only looked at me with asideways glance, afraid I might retaliate against any overzealous guffawing. Amazingly the professordidn't pause from his rhetoric during the entire ordeal, though he stared intensly at me in amazement,and in his mind he must have been rolling on the ground in laughter. I pulled the remains of the chairbehind me, trying to hide its existence, but I kept looking back at it. As I viewed the tangled mass ofmetal, plastic and wood I wondered about the new chair I was sitting in as it creaked and groanedbeneath me. Now I test each desk before sitting down. Certainly college is supposed to be a learningexperience, but this is not one I care to repeat. Say, what's the number for Domino's Pizza? ---------- Western Front - 1985 November 26 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 5 BHB! Make informed drug decision WesternFront: Is there anyone out there who-would like to discuss the modern problems of drug abuse withouthysterical stupidity today? If so, listen up. With the new ultra-conservative movement I believe there'vebeen a few important views ignored by the masses of the modern Bellingham community recently. Idon't claim to be a radical, bleeding-heart liberal, yet I share some interesting views on the subject ofthe use and abuse of drugs that don't agree with the heap of crap that religious fanatics and otherthought inhibitors are spewing out these days. The fact that more and more people are taking forabsolute truth such outright lies without questioning validity, historical precedence, or any basis onactual fact has brought me past the point of worrying about the futures of our civil rights and freedom ofthought. I believe these views must once again receive consideration for our present law makers andthose who influence social values. What I mean is this: We are ignoring the overwhelming truth aboutour ability to control the use and abuse of drugs. This truth is simply that we can not tell the Americanpeople what to do without digressing from a free society to tyrant-ridden fascism, and in our presentnationalistic frenzy we're headed right that Dissident caught, programmed â€¢ TV, from p. 4 because ofall the ornate, metal objects that surrounded the man's neck and arms. A crowd had assembled. Theyhad come to see the freak, or, as some said, "the geek." Out of the crowd emerged Jerry Mathersâ€”yes, the little Beaver. Mathers said, "This is from Wally and Eddie," and launched his foot into Dissident'sgroin. Mr. T flexed his large bicep around Dissident's neck and dragged him up the stairs.' Once in thecourtroom, Dissident, was face-to-face with Perry Masonâ€”a former lawyerâ€”now a judge. Thecourtroom was humid; the audience was rabid. "Perry! Perry! Hey, I dug your Godzilla flicks man,"Dissident said, sensing danger. "Shut up! Don't try to brown-nose me. You're in a lot of trouble. Serioustrouble," Mason said, his finger pointing incriminatingly toward Dissident. "You've caused us a greatheadache." Mason's eyes resembled two blowfishes; his face was red and shook like a stewed tomato."You don't perceive us as reality!" Mason said. "WE ARE REALITY!" "Um," Dissident said. Mason's leftarm thrust into the air, his index finger extended. Saliva dripped from his mouth. "You are shit, and Isentence you to a cruise on the Love Boat, a vacation on Gilligan's Island and a five-year Star Trekmission aboard the Enterprise." Mason laughed like a herniated hyena. Later in the day Dr. MarcusWelby performed surgery on Dissident, bolting a television to his skull. The screen was only three inches from Dissident's face. Dissident had been programmed. He now could only utter, "I love my MTV."What a good comrade. way. We must realize that we're in a very serious situation and that the result ofour blinded idiocy is sending thousands of people to prison for acts that are not criminal. Cocainehas become such a problem that it has overshadowed the issue of marijuana use. "Oh, people aren'tsmoking it as much as they used to," I hear some say. If so, tell me why there are legitimate businessmaking a profit selling equipment directed at growing pot. I'm talking about such businesses like the one on Meridian Street (it wouldn't be polite to mention names) or the many others in Seattle which sellsuch items as 1000-watt halide and sodium vapor lamps and a large array of other items includingmanuals on how to grow pot in your own home. If there are more and more people growing pot in theirown homes, how could there be fewer and fewer people smoking the stuff? So, let us consider our finalalternative, one that seems to be the only rational reaction to the problem of drug use and abuse:legalization. Now before you throw yourself on the ground in an emotional spasm, I would like you tokeep in mind that we can't control the use and consequently, the abuse, of drugs and that somepeople like you and I are going to jail just because they were caught enjoying a joint or snort, just as wewould enjoy a Blue Max FASHION SHOW TONIGHT V^3| teÂ§ foj9^ 95S at tbto^f^OJ gt; .to-toe lt;K? -J2SiÂ»^.**** ,ttoÂ«"* ovwt* X o c ^ ^ a b v ^ ^ ^ , M ~ ?M c**Â£.c*Â»Â«Â£Â£ v** "Z^xM otÂ»e to tb lt;* at *Â»ri-ssr*f?2XÂ«* tVO S t Â« Â« o v e t* cavb e* 20Â°/ lt; BlUC MOX s located off 1-5 on the second level! of the Bellingham Airport. 4255 Mitchell Way 671-3910 glass of wine (alcohol is adrug, remember) and only our "moral" judgement makes "their" use of drugs a crime and "our" use ofthe drug alcohol a right.

What if on these packages was clearly written the dangers of the useand abuse of the substances? What if the high tax put on these substances was used to educate the public of the harmful effects these drugs have and to pay for rehabilitation of those who want to kick thehabit? Wouldn't the money going to smugglers and organized crime be better spent? If anything, lookinto the subject, do some research, see what respectable scientific reports have to say, and then makeyour own conclusion based on that data. You're in college, for crying out loud.

Marly Thomas Learning names is the first step Western Front: Yes, George Sidles, theremight well be a Santa Claus, but it's not Dean Elich. We, as students, have got to stand up forourselves and demand quality education. I sat by once and. watched Seigrun and Chuck Fox beingforced to leave the political science department, and 1 cannot sit idly by and watch another qualityinstructor let go, nor should you! In an institution where teaching wasn't devalued, there might not beanything exceptional about Dr. Rothwell. However, within this university he is indeed e x c e p t i o n a l . Dean Elich endorses Dr. Rothwell for his teaching ability but also feels quality instructors are a "dime a dozen." Dr. Rothwell teaches his students to experience learning and thinking as an exciting andongoing challenge, insisting they be able to critically analyze and when finished be able to articulate and express those thoughts. Dr. Rothwell asks his students to examine their own livesâ€”how they can be allied beyond college and continue to have relevance. The fact that he is willing to learn students'names is not in itself an amazing feat, but while most instructors see themselves as primarily teaching a subject or discipline, others, like Dr. Rothwell, are teaching students. And if one is teaching students,learning names constitutes the first step. This issue must not be put on the back burner. I challenge this institution to recognize excellence in education and then to reward and retain it. Catherine Harmon .. . . - - U U ' , . , , , , .

Because societycontinues to support a number of myths about rape, Pierce County Rape Relief compiled somestatistics to combat misunderstandings concerning the crime. According to the group's collection offacts, the following are among the more common myths about rape: Myth: Only young, beautifulwomen are raped. Fact: Rape victims are of every age, shape and description. At Pierce County RapeRelief, reported age ranges from six months to 93 years. In 1984, ages of rape victims reported toWhatcom County Rape Relief ranged from 2 to 65 years. Myth: Rapists do not know their victims. Fact: In at least one-third of reported cases, rapists and victims do know each other. A rapist can be afriend, a relative or a casual acquaintance. According to Whatom County Rape Relief statistics, 80percent of girls who are sexually assaulted before age 18 are acquainted with the attacker. Myth:Woman are raped in dark alleys at night. Fact: Most rapes are committed in doorways, not darkalleys; 50 percent of rapes are committed in the victim's house, and another 20 percent occur insomeone else's house. Myth: Women provoke rape by the way they dress. Fact: What is provocativedress to one person is not necessarily provocative to another. Most rape victims these days wear twoparticular types of clothing: blue jeans and night gowns; Myth: Rape is an impulsive crime. Fact: 90percent of group rapes are planned. 58 percent of single rapes are planned. 75 percent of all rapes areplanned. Another problem associated with rape is a great many rapes go unreportedâ€”to officials, or toanyone. According to Whatcom County Rape Relief statistics, the FBI estimates only one of 10 rapesare reported to law enforcement agencies. Cheri Wurtz, program assistant at Whatcom County RapeRelief, said the main reason so many rapes are not reported is victims think they won't be believed."Our policy is to always believe the victim," Wurtz said, stressing that people virtually never He aboutbeing raped. Pierce County Rape Relief statistics say estimates range from 10 to 40 percent ofvictims who do report, often experience humiliation, fear of judgmental treatment by medical and legalauthorities and family disruptions. Only 2 percent of total accusations later are found to be false.Wurtz said many victims don't report being raped because they are assaulted by someone they know,so they aren't aware their assault actually was rape. Many put the blame on themselves, say- By LauraTowey n'enced rape cannot fully under- ||lll|i|(ig^Ji|iip||^Jl liHlllpiIli||i|JiHiHSIlli ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^fl||;lll^gl|j|i^j|ilJiSl^HMB IlllJIIiMlliiJiittlliilllil iHiBSttiiiiiiiliifciiHiiiM !^llMiii|i^iiiiil^^B ll|IlliftiiliSil^SHBi|liiiiiispilipiBiWiiliiifc l^lilliilfcHiSiiiMHilBl lliiiijpliiiiSiBlH^^lllBl i l i W K A f l l V H H i â€¢iiiiiilii^iM^HlBilllllllpiiWiiili^^illllBl^KB li^llllilliiiBii^BlHiBiBl llIl^ipi|ii^WiiHBWIil liiiiiiliiiliiiftlliiiiÂ« illiiilipiBS^WBliBiliiil|pi|iBB^!^llilPilKilli liliiilKBiiiii^HBIIIi ^liiiilKiMiMMiiiiiiii BII|BiiirtBBMMIIii!BillS ing "I might have asked forit." Most people believe for a rape to be "real" the assailant must be a stranger. But the legal definitionof rape in the state of Washington is "forced sexual intercourse," i including penetration with an object,forced oral or anal intercourse and forced intercourse between members of the same sex. AtWhatcom County Rape Relief the definition is more inclusiveâ€”any forced sexually . intimacy. Even if ithappens with someone the victim knows, it is rape. Wurtz said many rape victims report their attack toRape Relief because they need someone to talk to, but some don't ever report the rape to police. Some ( don't even give their name when reporting to Rape Relief, she said. Sixty-three rapes were reported toRape Relief between January and June of this year, Wurtz said, and 152 cases of abuse were reportedin 1984. She said that number may increase ^ this year. Pierce County Rape Relief stressed rape is anact of violence and coercion, not an act of passion. A rapist is not saying, "I'm turned on by you." Heis saying, "I hate you or I want to hurt and \ humiliate you," according to the organization's collection offacts about rape.

Both hadbeen drinking at the party. "1 thought, 'This guy is really cute. 1 might let him kiss me,'but nothing more than that," she remembered. "But 1 was thinking â€¢^ 1 shouldn't even be considering ^ that because Ihad a boyfriend." Then he "turned" on her, nailed her against her bed and raped her vaginally, orally andanally. No one was there to hear her screams. Â£ "I was thinking, 'this can't be happening; this can't be happening to me,'" she remembered. Three or four times she managed to pull.away from him.:. "At one point I totally got away and went to put back on my overalls," she said. "You just don't think aboutrunning down the hall totally nude." She never escaped. "I felt so degraded and dirty," she said.Afterwards, "to get rid of the filth," she took a shower, which she later learned destroys evidence thatmay be used to convict a rapist. Later her roommate found her "all curled upâ€”rocking andcryingâ€”and making a really weird sound, kind of like a moan, but more of an inhuman scream," Colette recalled. Her residence adviser came in after Colette's roommate told her something was wrong. Heradviser's support helped her get through the ordeal. The next day she called Rape Relief and got amedical examination. But she did not report the rape to the police for two and a half years and neverpressed charges. "Rape Relief was a help that day, but somehow lost its effect when I had to tell a newperson the whole story again," she commented. She said the medical examination, which took placein the University of Washington's LAURA TOWEY aid to rape victims nPpeer counseling for friendsacquaintances of victims of assault and educational treach to men on issues ofsex-l assault.

The doctorexamined every part, of her body, meticulously documenting every bruise, scratch and rectal tear."He was not sensitive to my feelings," she said. "It was really degrading, as if I hadn't been degradedenough already . . . I was made an object all over again." A week later she called the center to findout the results of a throat culture and tests that determine whether she had contracted any sexuallytransmitted diseases. But they had misplaced them, she said, and she had to have several testsretaken. The doctor who re-examined her, this time a woman, made it apparent that she believedColette brought the rape on herself, she said. "I wish I could remember what she said exactly, but itwas something like, 'Why did you let him into your room anyway?'" Colette did not contract anysexually transmitted diseases, but it took her a long time to recover physically and emotionally. "I was having trouble going to the bathroom because it hurt really bad â€” "number two" â€” because of theanal tears," she said. "It was like a constant reminder." Many of her friends were not supportive andtried to minimize the rape. And some people believed she had had sex willingly and was claiming rape because of her boyfriend, she said. "Unfortunately, my friend (the /girlfriend of the rapist's friend) sidedwith him and didn't believe me at all," she recalled. "She believed I was in the 2 percent category (ofwomen who falsely report rape) and just made it up." Even her boyfriend, who she had been going withon and off for a year, didn't completely believe her, she said. But he still was very supportive, andbecause he was such a good role model, she said, she never believed all men were like the man whoraped her. She and her boyfriend, however, eventually did breakup. "Nobody would listen. And if theydid listen, they would say 'why did you invite him into your room anyway?'" she remembered. "I wasasking myself the same question. "Their reinforcement didn't help," she said. "I suffered from 'victim'smentality.' I sort of believed it was my fault, too." Then for a long time she kept all the pain inside anddidn't talk about it to anyone, she said. Forgetting was difficult, especially since the man who rapedher was in one of her classes. "The first time I saw him I totally freaked out," she remembered. "Ialmost fainted." But she said avoiding him was possible since the class had between 600 and 700people in it, and he always sat in the same section. Eventually, she sought counseling, after whichshe reported the rape to the police. But she said she never could make herself press charges. "At thattime I wasn't thinking about if 1 didn't report it or press charges, it might happen to somebody else," sherecalled. "I guess 1 will always regret it. "I will always live with the fear that it may happen again orhappen to someone close."

On Friday, the Vikings losttheir season opener to UVic, 73-61. The Vikings led at halftime, 29-28, but made some crucial turnoverswhen UVic went to its full-court press. Western without the services. of their starting center, ShaneNickel (ankle injury), was outsized by UVic's 7-foot center, Cord Clemens, who contributed a game-high 23 points. Although down 56-3B midway through the second half, Western made a run late in thecontest. Reserve Scott Fincher scored eight points in a 21-6 run which brought the Vikings within threepoints with 2:21 left to play. Clemens, however, responded with a three-point play with 1:46 left, to put the game out of reach. Fincher and Tim Nicholas tied for team honors with 14 points apiece. In Saturdaynight's consolation game, Western defeated the University of British Columbia, 89-78. Western fell behind early in the game, 7-2, but rallied to take a ten-point lead with 6:30 left in the half. UBC came back andcut the Viking lead to 35-33 at the intermission. Western took control in the second half and opened up a small lead but the Thunderbirds fought back to within four with 3:20 left in the game. Brian Paul, whoscored a game-high 20 points, went on a tear, scoring nine of Western's 13 points on a run which put the game away. The victory was coach Brad Jackson's first at Western. Jackson said he' was pleased withhis team's overall performance last weekend. He contributed Western's turnover problems to "openinggame jitters." "We came back and played very well with a lot more poise and rhythm," Jackson said."We wanted to win (the first game) so badly we forced it a little." . Saturday's championship game waswon by Brewster Packing, a nori-collegiate, AAU team. Tonight's home opener at Carver Gym willfeature a rematch between Western and UBC at 7:30.

Magnolia 733-3331 ---------- Western Front - 1985 November 26 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT Arts Entertainment TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1985 Printing from metalMonotype exhibit creates images By Kris Skewis The art exhibit now on display in the WesternGallery shows the intimate communication between an artist and a printer. The exhibit, "Art ofCollaboration: Monotypes from the Studios of Garner Tullis," features several artist includingSamuel Francis, Red Grooms, Roy De Forest. All the art has been printed by Garner Tullis. The printsvary in size and color but have one common characteristic: they all are monotypes. A monotype is apainted or â€¢drawn image on a metal sheet, which is then transfered to paper. Each image can bechanged easily and quickly on the plate. This allows the artist more flexibility in the production process. Tom Holland's "untitled" monotype on paper shows lines and shapes of blue, orange, pink and yellow.The piece, which was done this year, is 36 by 96 inches. Besides being a printer, Tullis also is an artist. He has had numerous one-man exhibits and has permanent collections of his work at the University ofWashington Library, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Oneadvantage of the monotype is the ability to make large pieces. Beverly Pepper's work, "Axe," is 60 by43 inches. Tom Holland's piece, "Untitled," is 36 by 96 inches. Monotypes also allow the artist tospontaneously create an image. Sam Francis' piece, "The Blue Line," captures this idea with dashes ofred and yellow on a white background. The image, caused by the seemingly random placement on hislines, creates a circular movement that takes the eye from one end of the canvas. Red Groom's piece,"Sleeping Gypsy," illustrates a man reclining on his left elbow, cigarette in his right hand, with "TheStranger" by Albert Camus tucked beneath his arm. A lion profiled against the background of desertdunes and star-filled night stares at the gypsy with the face of a man. The exhibit includes woodcuts,cast paper and painted I bronzes. Richard Bosnian's "Falling Man" is black on white. It catches theimage of a man falling, head-down, with a jagged backdrop. "Falling Man" is a woodcut, which meansthe wood can be seen in the pattern of the paint and reflects its grain. "The Art of Collaboration:Monotypes from the Studios of Garner Tullis" includes several pieces of cast paper. Arnaldo Pomodoro's "Pietrarub-bia," is 34 by 24 by one and a half inches. The piece is black with mechanical designs. Theexhibit also shows two painted bronzes. Stanley Boxer's piece, "Cockledsplashatbay," is 17 and a halfinches. The piece, which was done in 1985, has spots of green, purple and blues projecting from a dullbronze color. The exhibition shows through Dec. 12 at the Western Gallery in the Art/Tech Building.Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. "Falling Man," a 64 by 42-inch monotype byRichard Bosnian, is a black on white woodcut piece, which means the grain of the wood is visible on theprint. "Falling Man" is one of the monotype prints on display at the Western Gallery. "Strider" is amonotype on paper done this yearby Roy De Forest(. The motion of "Strider" is enhanced by the brightred hands and face with glowing blue pants and the neon-yellow wall projecting from the background. girls ^W-^^P^W^M'W^"^ ^tect/ ^thernse^^ ^arratige;d-;m â€¢theittpaj^ HUmmi I m l n c e ^ a t^ y ili||rpvjde^cntically i:'a:fxjai^ed;1|^i^bKe^i F Q j | | i^ firis|?regiona Â£pjerji$m Ifii^llii^ %elec^ipWs);:^^ Ijrejplt^^ ! $ $ r j^ l a l d : ; l r a :^ fbririsince will":fe]a^r^^^i^rS/ ration and â€¢commentary of director/Donald Pippen^ gt;vho $rsÂ£^ approach tou ^ e m - a v ^ ^ y T^ â€¢;theateirf^ iislji translationsf$%pjte^$gÂ£ in regularuse by|k ponies through I t e B p f^ tpiigitiii^ ^O^erl^s^ Tickets forthe Teserye^seafe ; ing for theperfprmahce of the Pocket; 6pera|are p^ Box Offi Â£ellingh^ 5 pjrri- performance; Tickets :j;dtecbj^^ienipf gt;cjtiMf^^ f p i i a l^ :; n1d$ec^ v-::;:;|;:Chacpna^l;W marble w^ fbgy#fsuc^^^ lec^iÂ£mehti:|;^â€¢%:-fFhe^ ::;|$r lt;ed|^^ lariaVpii^ : "Wnp^s Afraid of Virginia â€¢ Woplf?'* finishes : Western^ theaterdepartment's fall play series next week.

Marjorie Donker, of the English department, noted if "incoherence and fragmentation"exist in the curriculum, it reflects the state of the world today. Offering what has been termed by criticsas a "smorgasbord," or fragmentation of the curriculum, is not a real problem, Donker said. But the factthat students can graduate without a class in literature or history is more troublesome, she said. LorenWebb, of the speech p a t h o l o g y and audiology department, said it was difficult to argue with thefindings of the report. Western may be doing a good job, he said, but much of the curriculum isdetermined by certifying bodies who receive pressure from the public and the legislature. Webbrecommended moving slowly with any changes. "Let's not have a revolution," he said. Robert Keller,from Fair-haven College, recommended a reversal in class sizes that currently rently put enteringfreshmen in large survey classes at a time they are most likely to need help. Teaching methods needreview, he said, pondering the effects of a "graying faculty." He suggested an infusion of young interns to bring freshness and excitement into the classroom. By Mary Barouh The strengths and weaknesses of Western's curriculum are some oif many issues that will be under intense scrutiny for the rest of theacademic year. Reflecting a nationwide effort to re-evaluate the purpose and meaning of undergraduateeducation, Vice-president of Academic Affairs Paul Ford has appointed a committee to organizeevents that will stimulate discussions on the topic. The committee has planned a conference Feb. 10through 11 to focus on the goals, content and instructional processes involved in offering students anexcellent undergraduate education. At the conference, members of the faculty, administration andBoard of Trustees will offer their perspectives. Representatives from the Associated Students, theWashington State. Legislature and other university campuses will present additional points of viewon undergraduate education. Another element at the conference will be the outcome of discussionsgenerated among faculty and students of the "Book of the Quarter." The publication, which wasrequired reading for faculty fall quarter, was a report released by the Association of American Colleges titled "Integrity in the College Curriculum: a Report to the Academic Community," (1985). The reportleveled criticism at colleges for offering students too many choices in class offerings. It "further chargedthat basic requirements in the curriculum lack structure arid meaning, and that intellectual vigor amongstudents has been. lost. Besides the criticism, the AAC report included solutions to the perceivedproblems of undergraduate programs. Among the recommendations is a suggestion for a uniform,minimum requirement in the curriculum PAID ADVERTISEMENT "I happened to go to a Bible study oncampus." My search for something more began at the end of eighth grade. Inside me was the beginningof the sense of a void, an emptiness, an incompleteness and a dissatisfaction with the way I was. Idecided, in the ninth grade, to get involved in school and start filling up this void. Many of my friendsseemed to get a lot out of sports, so that year I turned out and lettered in football, wrestlings and track.On top of this I became vice-president of the honor society and joined several school groups. I becamewell-liked and through the course of the year received several distinguished awards by the student body. Iwas voted by the class as "the most inspiring student in the class" and "the most likely to succeed." Ialso received the "Inspirational Award" in wrestling. Outwardly I was successful, I had accomplishedmany things. But the emptiness still remained. I knew I should be satisfied because I was doing all of the"satisfying" things. Yet often at night, when I was lying in bed and all was quiet, I could feel the void stillthere. It seemed the harder I tried to fill it, the larger it grew. Near the end of ninth grade I began to believe that activities like sports weren't the answer, so I decided to go deeper. I bought a book about thoughtpower and mind control and believed I now had the answer. Off and on through high school, I worked atdeveloping my mind, at times getting into the religious aspects and at other times just doing theexercises. Although this did more for me than other activities, it still couldn't touch the void. During myjunior and senior years in high school, I took another direction. I figured that if I couldn't fill the void, I would just distract myself from it; so I started drinking heavily and doing crazy things. This only covered it up,because at night when I was sober I could still feel the emptiness, the longing for something more.During this time, my sister became a Christian and I went to a couple of her Christian meetings. Iremember that they were fun, and hearing about the Lord would spark something inside of me that liftedme up. But I felt that becoming a Christian was not for me. These people were clean-looking, happy, andsinging; and I just couldn't see myself fitting in. After graduation from high school, I took a year off andessentially did nothing. I had no direction and no motivation to find one. The emptiness was still there, but I was becoming resigned to the idea that it was just a fact of life. In autumn of 1977 I started back toschool at a community college with hopes that a higher education would be my answer. Here I met a girlwho was lively, shining, joyful, bubbly, and always talking about the Lord. We became close friends andthrough her I realized that I had a God-shaped void within me. That summer I moved away, but for the next few years we wrote to each other. Although I couldn't understand them, I loved to read her letters. Frombeginning to end, what she talked about was the Lord and how only He was my answer. Then one nightin January 1982, I was lying in bed thinking about my life. I started to realize that I had nothing. All thethings I had achieved or done were just temporary, and school (I was now at a university) was going to be likewise. I needed something stable and permanent to live for. I prayed to the Lord that He would comein and be my reason to live. I didn't feel any different after my prayer, but for some reason I didn't doubtthat a transaction with the Lord had taken place. Outwardly nothing changed until October. Then in aperiod of one week, my life fell apart. Someone I had been very close to moved away, family problemsbecame very upsetting, and I was swamped in school. I was lonely, depressed, and in desperate need ofa reason to live. Although I had prayed to Jesus months before, He still did not seem very real to me. Ibegan to attend church on Sundaysâ€”but even that did not seem to help. Finally, in desperation, I began to pray. I told the Lord that He had to do something quick. I needed a reason to live and I neededsomeone to bring me out of my depressed, despondent state. He did not take long to answer. The nextday I happened to go to a Bible study on campus that I had never been to before. There I met a group ofChristians who were different from anybody else I had ever met. I could tell by their faces and their sharing that they knew a living Christ! They seemed to know why they were alive, and they were so joyful andradiant. As I attached myself to them, they began to help me subjectively experience the Christ I hadasked to come into me months before. Now Jesus Christ was becoming so living and real to me! Little by little, even to this hour, the depression that had plagued me has been displaced by a present, indwellingChrist! Not only soâ€”I have also come to realize that He is my reason to live. Just as Paul said, "For to.me to live is Christ"! â€”Henry Allen the Basics of the Christian Lifeâ€” A Tuesday Noon Bible Fellowship This fall quarter the Christian Students Association will be sponsoring a meeting every Tuesdayafternoon in Room VU 408 of the Viking Union Building from 12:00-12:50 p.m. Bill Freeman* willfellowship from the Bible concerning The Basics of the Christian Life.

Sam Kelly, dean of graduate studies, said an evaluation of Western's undergraduate program is done regularly but not with the intensity and scope of this year's effort. Kelly, along withProfessor Emeritus Paul Woodring, is co-chairman of the February conference. "The curriculum isconstantly changing," Kelly said, "and how tight budgets affect or impede that process," is one of themany issues to be examined. In preparation for the conference, "The Book of the Quarter," otherrecent national reports on higher education and information on demographics and statistics aboutWestern students have been placed in the reserved section of Wilson Library for students andinterested community members to read. Shortly after the conference, the committee will submit to theAcademic Coordinating Commission and the Faculty Senate a synopsis of the year's discussions and suggestions. The ACC and the Senate later will base discussions and possible action on thecommittee's report. Serving on the committee are professors June Ross, biology; Darrel Amundsen,foreign languages; Phil Montague, philosophy; Michael Mischaikow, economics and Bruce Pullan,music. While the committee's instructions were issued by Ford, support has been given for theinquiry by Western President G. Robert Ross, the Faculty Senate, the administration and the Board ofTrustees. Students and interested community members are invited to submit their views on "what isthe best undergraduate education that Western can provide." Submissions should be no longer thanone page. These opinions will be placed in an open folder in the reserve section of Wilson Library, saidKelly, co-chairman of a conference on undergraduate education slated for February at Western. .The committee will read the individual commentaries and include some of .the ideas and suggestions intheir final report, he said.

This date is set for the high school Play Day which is held here annually. A new feature this year is the extension of invitations to boys as well as girls. Formerly, Play Day was held for the feminine contingent only. An interesting day has been planned by the Play Day committee, headed by Jim Junkin and Barbara Beyer. In the morning, mixed sports will hold the spotlight. These will be followed by a luncheon at Edens hall and a track meet in the afternoon. According to Jim Junkin, the purpose of Play Day is to acquaint high school students with each other and with the college group. Five boys and five girls will be sent from each high school in Whatcom and Skagit counties. The representatives will be divided into small groups and will tour the campus with members of the Play Day committee. Fife Fighters Need Reinforcements ~ • Recently a survey was made by .several members of the faculty on the fire fighter squad to determine what could be done along lines of fire prevention. A committee of students made a, survey of the present fire ' fighting equipment. Sand was ordered. Buckets, shovels, and rakes were distributed around the various parts of the building to help combat a fire in case of an emergency. Salvage work has been done to protect anything that cannot be replaced. For the safety of the fire fighters, goggles, shields, and flashlights have been purchased. According to Dr. Robert Holt-man who has charge of the joint teacher-student fire fighting class during the absence of Lyle Brewer, there are only thirteen people enrolled in this class which meets every Thursday at 11 in room 105. At present there are only enough -fire fighters to take care of the main building and Edens* hall. An effort is being made to enroll more students for the protection of the balance of the student body. By Frank Shiers • Because the paper this week is being directed toward the graduating high school seniors, it behooves us as a group to analyze what we as an institution have to offer prospective victims that other schools do not. In other words, I think that it is only, fair for us to wash our dirty linen now; then when we have our influx of new people, they will not be able to complain that we kept all the skeletons in the closet. * My gripe this week is concerned only with the Valkyries. For thie uninitiated, the Valkyries are the college equivalent to the typical high school girls' pep club. I am not complaining about, what the Valkyries are; but about how they have confused what they are and what they want to be. in other words, they started, out with certain objectives in mind and somewhere along the road they got lost. ^' Some unkind people will no doubt say that I am doing this because of some personal animosity. Suffice it to say that I like and admire every member,.of the Valkyries as a friend and as a fellow human being. I also admire the group as a whole. That (Continned on Page Few) WRA Votes Stangle Sports Manager; Name Other Heads • On Wednesday the Women's Recreation association held the balance of their election. Those elected were as follows: general sports manager, Norma Stangle; social chairman, Pat Irish; secretary, Lynda Adams; treasurer, Cheryl Smith; vice-president, Bernice FJ-enbaas. A meeting of the new and old members of the cabinet met on Thursday evening to discuss plans for the ensuing year. Next year as the WRA and the AWS will be the biggest clubs on the campus, Elizabeth Douglas and Elaine Sund-back who both attended conferences and got many new ideas to further the expense of the clubs, are going to meet together and pool their information. Further, discussion was held on limiting members to WRA and make it a more selective organization because so many girls belong to WRA and get their activity points and yet never participate in any sport whatsoever. Plans were also discussed to further our efforts toward National Defense. George Wants Radio Actors • Wanted! At least ten men on Monday night, May 4,. to try out for a radio play. The play "Crowded Paradise," will be broadcast before the assembly, May 19. Here is the chance of a lifetime for the aspiring male thespians of WWC/ According to Mr. George, "Crowded Paradise" has an amusing plot and should be well received by the assembly-goers. The cast includes only one feminine part, but the male roles are many: U. S. Shows Films • The United States Department of Agriculture supervises the assembly next Tuesday, May 5, which consists of a movie entitled "United States Forest Service." Rudo Fromme is in charge of the picture. Next Friday's assembly features the Western Washington college a Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson. Enthusiasm High as v^ampus Day Nears; Beards Prevail Kids Ordered To Stay Off Grass by Stocks; Motor Needed • Men, even if Campus day is still twelve days off, that doesn't excuse you from leaving the razor on the shelf for the remainder of the time. In fact, the only thing which officials' consider adequate excuse is student teaching. Anyone else who believes he has adequate reason for a beardless face must present, in writing, his excuse. These new stipulations were set forth this week by co-chairmen Les Smith and Mike Pizzuto. KIDS MAR GRASS Military police heads, Smith and Pizzuto, have issued an ultimatum to Campus school children. They are requesting that the Campus school children stay away from the stock, and off the lawn. Although only a few victims have been embraced by the stockade, the lawn has been damaged considerably, in fact, they say, too much. The committee heads also announced that men who are taking technique courses have been given the OK of the technique teachers to grow beards".' .•,•-•-* ,—..-.- A change has been made in the. day for the migration of men to Lakewood for the pre-Campus day cleari-up. The date was originally scheduled for Saturday May 9, but it has been changed to Sunday, May 10.

Valkyries Plarr Spring Dance • As a result of a long heated argument at the Monday Valkyrie meeting it was decided to gQ ahead with plans for the annual spring sport dance. Members had been advised by the faculty that a dance at this time might be a failure because of decreased enrollment and increased expenses. A vote was taken at the meeting which showed that there" still is some fire,in the Valkyrie-club after a l l . . the majority of the girls proved to be willing to work to cut down expenses and still give a nice dance. After all, someone has to keep up the standard of morals'...oops... morale at WfWC. Following the example _set by last week's AWS informal, programs, refreshments and decorations will be eliminated. Ruth Culbertsqh was selected to head the dance. Date Group Meets • All people who wish to reserve dates on next year's calendar should attend the meeting of the calendar committee today.

He picked up 9 points against the Frosh by placing firsts in the mile (4:42), and second in both the two mile and 880...

He is the architect-engineer combination who designed and installed the "stocks" for slackers in the beard growing contest. Smitty is 19, a sophomore and hails from Longview. He was a member of Hilltop squad that won the intramural basketball championship this year. Fall quarter Les was number one quarter back for the Viking eleven. Smitty *s pride and joy is his GREEN HORNET, which every student has come to regard as the official campus taxi. . Deepest, darkest secret of Les' past is the fact that as cook in a Longview hotel a few years ago, his side dish with the Monday morning blue plate special. Was, to quote Smitty, "a fluffy duffy salad." (That ought to be a pretty obvious hint to those in charge of the Campus Day food committee.) gt; ; ••— :• Out to show the women that though small in numbers they still can put more weight behind the Student Lounge fund, the Norsemen are planning a smoker to be run off sometime during the next two weeks... The list of matches has not been completed as yet but those so far signed up are: Munizza vs. Mitchell in the heavies, and Aldrich vs. Hickenbottom in the lights. Several other leather-swinging Norse have not been matched yet. Don "Tiny" Neal says he is open for challenge (in wrestling only, of course). An added item of interest to the "better half" of the student body is that 'fwomen will be tolerated."

Viking, Wildcat Track Squads Clash Here This Afternoon Sarboe Brings Strong Team; Vikings Favored In Field • Murmuring: a prayer, "the bigger they are the harder they'll fall," WWC's track men take to their oval today at 3 o'clock to face a potent CWC Wildcat cinder squad. The meet will be the initial test for the Vikings while Coach Phil Sarboe's men have two meets under their belts already this season.

Byron Grubb, Vik low hurdle ace, pulled a . muscle: last week and it is uncertain whether* he will compete today. Sprints will be the most vulnerable sRot for the Viking squad as they face the Wildcats. Coach Sam Carver, ~ however, expects his men to place well in field and distance events. McAulay in the pole and Munizza in the discus and shot are the Viking mainstays in the field; Hickenbottom and . Leu in distances-. 4 -/• ; .' ] The Viking's next meet will! be with Pacific Lutheran college, here, May 9. This will be the last home appearance; of WWC's track taem this season. .

Publications Adviser Royalty Guests; Lunch at Hotel • "No, it won't be possible to interview the crown prince and princess because their time here is so limited," declared the Norwegian consul C. A. Stang. "However, if you wish to meet them you may come to the reception room and stand in the receiving line." Then as-a series of sirens announced the arrival of the royal couple he ejt-cused himself and hurried to the door: v Murmurs of "Oh, isn't she charming?" "I hear they're just like common people," "Isn't the prince good looking?" followed the pair as they entered the elevator, greeting the crowd: as they walked. Returning a few minutes later to the lobby of the Leopold hotel, the prince _-and princess were taken to the Fountain room where they were greeted by representatives of the city and; county governments and other organizations. Following this reception the royal party proceeded to the Crystal ballroom, where a luncheon in their honftr was held. As they entered the doorway everyone rose from his seat and applauded until the party reached their places at the head table. Then, as they remained standing the Norwegian and v American national anthems were sung. PRINCE SPEAKS After luncheon the crown prince of Norway gave an addressTon the courage and spirit of the Norwegian people in resisting Nazi forces which have .invaded their country• "We are jS^fesimore closely united in spirit and^omifibn. purpose with Americans than ever before in history," he declared. "The Norwegian Writer Gives Picture of'42 Campus Day • This week's better behavior column deals with how to enter properly into the spirit of Campus day. As you know, on former cam-ups days the main sports were mild deals such as swunming (The recognized technique being to hold your opponent's head under water until he ceased to utter protesting glugs); boat races (consisting of shooting holes in your oppponent's boat, hitting his men over the head with' your oars—while they last, then drifting helplessly about the lake for the duration); and various minor contests such as tossing ripe eggs, shoes, and the like (not ostensibly at definite targets, however) and applying the law of supply and demand to assorted pies (size 13%). "But this year things are gonna be —(censored) DIFFERENT!" At least according to co-chairman in chief, Frank Shiers. In the first place, the morning will be entirely taken up with such strenuous activities as clearing land (pioneer-style), chopping down the jungle and other assorted weeds, and straightening up the place generally. Our suggestion for men engaged in this type of recreation is to adopt an exploratory frame of mind; pretend you really are a pioneer, lost in darkest Africa. Who knows, you might even find Dr. Livingston! Even your roomie easily could be mistaken for- such a one after three weeks of beard-growing. Following this warming-up process the regular sports and contests will be engaged in by the women and the one or two men who survive.* In these, Marquis-of Queens-bury rules prevail. Contestants will kindly refrain from unsheathing their swords (striking with the sheath will be.sufficient), and brass knuckles will be permitted only on the left hand. Use of tennis rackets, baseball bats, and the aforementioned oars as weapons is frowned upon; after: all, they are school property and you woud probably have to pay for them. Winners in contests will be determined by survival of the fittest, and assorted straight-jackets will be provided for prizes. people have proven that their faith in the dignity of man and in the national rights of man as expressed in ,the Bill of Rights are worth fighting and dying for. They know within themselves that justice and righteousness will be victorious over the forces of evil and oppression." Though an interview was not secured the reporter left the hall highly pleased that she had at least been given the opportunity to shake hands with the royal couple.

' It's the Men's Club that hands you programs in assembly and then leave so others can have their seats. And it's the Men's Club who are the only thing in school that doesn't own galoshes. Just then the men sent.up a cheer for the Kormal—their Normal. "Look at the pages the Women's League get in the paper of which I, yes, I, am business manager.'' Here Pres. Hankins broke down, and the' meeting broke up.

"JAPAN NOT MILITANT" For Eighteen Years, -Mr. Trueman Has Been a Representative of the Y. M. C. A. in Japan. Mr. A. -H. Trueman,- who has been in Japan for eighteen years as a rep-representative of the Y. M. C. A., stressed the attitude of Japan in her immediate relations with_the Orient and her international relationships with the leading nations of the Occident, in his address before the student body Wednesday. "Japan has accepted wholeheartedly the Western method of commerce and business, and has arisen from an obscure nation to rank as one of the five leading powers of the world ,in a short period of eight years. The Japanese are proud and sensitive. If we get the full significance of these two fundamental characteristics of human nature it would help greatly in solving our international relationships with Japan." Mr. Trueman stated at the opening of his lecture. Port Arthur Important. Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war'was stressed. The Man-churian railway gave Japan the balance of power against Russia, so to speak. Probably the greatest single impetus for the expansion of Japanese commerce and industry was the World War. "During the World War, when the dual form of government, was at its highest tension, the Japanese intervened in the Russian controversy with a military attitude. As "a result Japan began industrializing. The rights of China had been encroached upon by the Japs" and her integrity had been violated, when the iron works in the Yangtze Valley were, transferred to Japanese rule."' Japan Not Belligerent. Washington, D. C., completely altered Japan's attitude toward China and her relations "with the Occident became ones of unmitigated friendship and co-operation," the speaker said. The essenceof Mr. Trueman's. address lay in his concluding remarks. He emphasized the. fact that Japan was not. a militant, belligerent or inimical nation, but that she was following in the footsteps of other world powers, and that the only possible remedy for international strife is for every nation to have confidence" in each other and base their relationships upon the highest ideals. THESPIAN AND OPEN The Thespian and Philo clubs will engage in an intra-mural debate on Monday, December 13, from 4 to 5 o'clock.

Miss Glass explained that in order to gain the confidence .of a child one must get the thought and viewpoint of the person, no matter whether they be grade or high school pupils. She said: "We must look into the heart of the child and see the real self." ; 0-—r—— : INTER-CLUB COUNCIL AIDS ORGANIZATION Council Consists of One Representative from Each Club and Three Faculty Members. The Inter-Club Council was first organized last spring. Its formation was the result of a fell need of a central organization to control and supervise the activities of the various student organizations. Since that time it has performed an invaluable service for the different clubs of the school. The members of the Inter-Club Council consist of one representative from each of the club organizations, elected at the first meeting of the spring quarter. The representatives serve on the Council during the following year. Besides these student members, there are representatives of the faculty, including the Dean of Women, the Dean of Men and the Social Director of Edens Hall. „ Each organization is required to have a representative at all of the meetings of the Council. Each organization is required to furnish a club calendar for the year with preferences for dates and places. Each organization is also required to furnish the Council with all records, books and such other information as the Council may require. Besides the general supervision of the activities of the Clubs the Inter-Club-Council helps to settle the numerous difficulties within the Mrs. Hankins is Sole Graduate From the Four-Year Course at the End of the Fall Quarter. 59 TWO-YEAR GRADS Paul Rule, Martha Dillon, and Jessie Wait,.

LIBRARY IS FAVORED Hartley's Policy Toward Normal Schools Described by President Fisher as Being Very Friendly. "We feel that as far as Governor Hartley .and his staff are concerned the needs of Bellingham Normal will be well 'taken care of,". President C. H. Fisher stated after the visit of the state executive and his staff to the school Tuesday afternoon. At a meeting of the governor-,-his staff, President Fisher and the Normal trustees, the school budget lor the next two years and matters pertaining to it were discussed. President Fisher said: "Undoubtedly the Normal, with the approval of the state legislature, is to be able to go ahead with construction of 'a library during next year," so it at last appears as if the dreams,, of a library building will come true in the immediate futurei The budget asks for $260,000 to.erdct and furnish the building, which will be located where Cedar street now is, facing the campus. Since last year's state legislature passed the bill containing the provision for a library, there seems to be little opposition to its erection. "Freedom and frankness of discussion led to a satisfactory understanding of our problems. on the part of Governor Hartley and his staff," President Fisher added. "The visit was most satisfatory in every respect. "The policy of the; governor is to insist on quality instead of numbers at the Normal and in this policy the Normal heads are heartily in accord with the chief executive. The_JNbr-mal trustees and myself do not feel that they could have asked finer consideration than was given at the meeting.

In all probability the most enthusiastically received choral recital ever rendered in Bellingham was the production given by The Russian Syniphbnic Choir. The sample presentation given in the afternoon evidently convinced the students that the Russians actually could sing, as a great many attended the evening performance. Russian music is weird; it is soulful; it is the music of a great people, coming up through great tribulations. The Russian Choir was a true exemplification of that soul, of that music. Their costumes as well as their music was indicative of a people who can lay one* hand, as it were, on the age of barbarism, the other on the highest type of modern civilization. ; 'Their intonation chants and folk songs were as a gigantic storm sweeping across the great steppes of Russia, dying away finally to whisper of evening zephyr. The temple song, "Lord Have Mercy," by Lvovsky cannot be given due credit and praise. All that can be said concerning it is, that it possessed a quality of sublimity. The .delicate gradations of the dynamics was a feeling of wonderment and admiration "and of times gave the impression of the presence of a stringed orchestra. Art, color, and unbelievable tone, combined with numerous, almost inexpressible characteristics pertaining to that which is paramount in the world of music, would scarcely do justice to the praise r due the Russian Symphonic Choir. WHY A LITERARY CONTEST? / Announcement of a literary contest was made in the first issue of the Messenger for this fall quarter. The battle of pens is now finished ' and a pronouncement of victors has been made. Two and a half months is rather a long period for a literary contest, whose contributions are usually confined to less than a thousand words. Fred R. Bechdolt, one of the few fascinating writers of Western tales, often * completes a short story of four or five thousand words in less than two weeks, we have been told by Mr. Bechdolt's father. A comparison here is, of course, entirely out of place. The regrettable fact is that the responses to this contest Were very few. Perhaps not enough publicity was furnished, although it seems that a contest of this nature could •' hardly be enhanced by advertising. An appreciation of literature can be directed and enlarged, but the so-called "urge" for self-expression toward the creation of some form of literature is essentially native and is usually evident by the end of the high school year. But the trial of contest was worth-while. The poems, essays and stories received by the judges were of merit. Certainly trie poetry, ^which.was accorded first place was so deserving that had one hundred ethers challenged, it is dubious that its final rank had been altered. Interesting proof of this, how- .'•;.ever, would be to succeed this literary contest with others each quarter.

Big days for them are July 4 ; dinner in the park; Labor Day; Thanksgiving; and Last Note Book Day, the best day of all. It is an obfnoxious, antideluvian, and insipidly vitiating custom, this. Hamlet (check up, there, English students, page 37 in your note books) said, "It's a consummation devoutly to be wished," thinking, doubtless, subconsciously, of this pernicious note book habit. Well meaning students in the flush of their sophomoric and excel-isor years, doing research in \ ency-clopediae, have to detour every two or so pages, because of pencil and finger marks of those who have gone before in their tireless search for note book filler. . Instructors probably vie with each other in trying to grind from classes "bigger and better" note books each quarter. -And such teachers who expend time to instruction and not to the indulgence of this notebook passion are probably looked upon with tolerant derision. Training school disciples when for a minute their thoughts are not infested with "projects" should consider note book work. They will never "arrive" in the art of teaching until some -knowledge of note book managing is mastered. But then, get your note books in next week, for the teachers have a surprise for you. They are going to "remember" you before Christmas. 7 ' By V. A. V7 , The Russian Sympkonic Choir only rominded me of the little boys in the Philippine Islands who, in moonlight nights, used to sing in concert in the same manner, but in a more disconcerted fashion than, the Russians do. Primitive music by primitive man was uv,that fashion. Before musical instruments were invented music in its primeval fude iorm was- already in" manifestation: lt; Primitive man of the wildness had only to imitate, and then modify the sound he heard from the' birds, and the brooks and the falling of trees, and the loud peal of thunder. The march of civilization only brought about the invention of the different musical instruments that we have at present age. • i There is a very great difference, however between the music furnished by the Russian Symphonic Choir and that of the boys in the Philippines... But the principle seems finv-damentally the same. •J^iiltjftfauuort Here are the high lights in the speech of Miss Charlotte Frazer, general secretary of the'Women's Christian Temperance Union in America, at, the assembly November 23: "I missed lots of punch and pep of college life by not attending a co-ed school." • "A man does not know much after being married three days." "We don't know what the future has in store for us. We do riot know what will come into our individual lives." "America has never been licked due to right leadership." "Consecrate your life to leadership." Miss /Frazer also said that when she was in school she had only one dollar allowance a month. These' days that dollar will disappear like a soap bubble in an instant.

MECHANICS 6 0 43 Thorlakson, Fisher, and Sullivan Lead Jay Vees Scoring Attack. Fisher Annexes 11 Field Goals. In a game played on the Y. M. C. A. floor last Friday' evening, the Jay Vees overwhelmed the Junior Mechanics. The score was 60 to 13. If the Normalites had been able to connect with the basket more consistently, the Mechanics would have suffered a much worse defeat. It took the Junior. Vikings about five minutes to get going. The Mechanics gained the first field goal, but following this goal, the Vikings, with determiation, set in to do their task and netted 15 points before their opponents made another point. At half time the score stood 35 to 5. The Normal scoring attack was led by Fisher, Thorlakson, and Sullivan. Wreckers Beat Methodists. In the other game of the evening, the Roland Wreckers downed the Methodists 33 to 22. The Methodists fought furiously in a vain effort to overcome the exerienced Wreckers, but they finally succumbed. Ludwigson and Urness played stellar games for the Methodists. Tonight, the Jay Vees will meet their first real test when they tangle with the Roland Wreckers.

Again outsmarting their city opponents, - the Super Varsity team from the hill institution continued its uninterrupted sweep towards the City League title by vanquishing the Brown Cole quintet 46-23, on the Y. M. C. A. floor, last Wednesday, thereby winning their second game in three days.** The game was featured- by the quick and accurate passing attack of the Normal team. Jack Harper^ diminutive Viking forward, grabbed the high honors of the evening chalking up 19 markers during the evening's entertainment as well as playing an all around,-bang-up game. The work of Hawkings, center, was commendable. Although clearly outclassed, the Brown Cole team forced the Normal at all times. McCollum played an outstanding game and led his mates in scoring, accounting for 13 of the total 23. The Baker Lumber yards won an exciting mix from the somewhat crippled Y. M .C.

Although a special matinee performance had been given in the afternoon at the Normal, the ironing -conceit was pleasantly received by an almost full house. With no instrumental accompaai-saent the group of choristers at once suggested something : of the novel,; the unusual, in vocal rendition. Voices Represent Opera. - Other •• features than the unique; oess of the presentation Attracted the j audience for the two-hour program, towever. The perfect ensemble of voices often reminded of an orchestra.: JSharp, plear bells could be distin-! gushed, by the occasional chanting of male voices. Humming, a variation of tone employed effectively by the choir, gave forth a delightful imitation of a tremulous violin. Deep -basses suggested the vibrancy of the 'cello. The entire effect was pleasant ;and satisfying. Grouped in regard to sacred songs, ^classical music and folk songs, the program was well divided. Of the premier group the. repeated strains of; "Lord, Have Mercy" proved most effective, with careful modulations of difficult chords. Classical Music Pleasant. Beethoven's "Andante Con Moto"is rarely heard in chorus; therefore its interpretation was appreciated. "Plai-senterie" of Nikolsky was an attractive lyrical completion of the classical group. Most appealing of the Russian folk songs was a Chechoslovakian dance song arranged by Basile Eabalchich, conductor of the choir. Other folk songs were marked by their lyrical, and charming, simple themes. In the early part of January the second number of the musical course will be given when Reinald Werren-irath, American baritone, will appear lin recital. •They had -knowTi each other for years, these two men who had just met 4n the train. Both had traveled extensively, but their meetings were, rare. A decade had elapsed since, their last meeting.- \ v '^Railway service is . as bum as ever," remarked one. YeS,"', «aid the other. "But I'm -used to the ups and downs by now.'.' '"Well, a man traveling as much as I do should get better treatment." "You're right. B u t —" He was interrupted by * stern voicer "Get out of here!" Hurriedly the two tramps slid off the bOx ear. RULES FOR DANCING. 1. Stand 12 inches from your partner. She may not love you as much as yon think she does. 2. Don't lean on your partner; she's probably had no lunch, either. 3. Place one finger on your partner's shoulder. She may not be used to dead weight. 4. Don't look as if you were in pain. Take courage—dances don't last a lifetime. 5. Try not to get your form in the shape of a pretzel. Other shapes are far more becoming. 6.. Be light on her feet as well as on your own. 7. Listen to the music. Your conversation may not be quite as full of harmony. 8. . Keep time. The man who wrote the music knows more about rhythm than you do. 9. Dont try to invent some new stuff in dancing. People knew how to dance before you arrived. 10. Follow these instructions and you're sure to get away with the girls. Haw, haw, haw, haw! We thank you!

The Only reason is the family—you know how mother feels, Henry." ; "But you don't suppose you could make her change her mind?" V "Henry, I know there is no use." (A slight pause.)

Syarlien s»ysi "No- wonder that the: English can't.see the point to American jokes, when 'there usually isnt'"anyw;: ;"'."'.' An mterestrng'suhlect for discussion is the question, "Is college a farce?" Does' the average student let the social aspect of -college life overshadow his academic work? There is rib Question but that some stttdehter are 'here for recreation only, and that others are only Interested in studying. We hear that there 'is'"a.happy medium ~ somewhere, where trie person can have a good tmte while getting the maximum of henefit out of his work. Many students are of the opinion that more opportunity should be given for group discussion of modern problems. If the Board of Control project :to secure a place where .students qan meet and hash out .the ^ world's affairs succeeds, we will be on our way toward reaching this' elusive balance between fun and scholasticism. Someone we once knew remarked, "A good place to stop your column is the piace where you begin to ask yourself, 'What else can I write' " w Women, Will Take Initiative At Leap Year Hop .

' U of W Students Discuss Supreme : Court Limitations Pro and Con of-Question Given Before Normal; Assembly ... ,: This MorhiTig- '"Should "the power of the United States 'SupVem'e; court be lrrhitedr'" was the;,:'question..which "Wayne Booth; Kenneth Cox, Lewis Schmidt, and -Hubert Sandaz, four men students of the university, discussed in the •assembly this morning at 11:00 a. rri. Two of the. speakers spoke for the 'affirmative' side and the other two spoke for the negative. After the discussions, Horace G. Rahkopf, professor in ' the division of speech in the English department, summed up; the arguments on both sides. . . The audience : Was permitted . to ask questions when the talks were completed^ i The "discussion !f allowed the .parliamentary- symposium method.rather than the traditional team debate. The aim of these discussions carried on by the. students is to give information necessary for clear un-present .fundamental issues, view-points and solutions. At an, asserhbly jlast year students from this^saihe department at the university ' . discussed, limiting of armaments. The group that spoke this morning visited.in Europe last year, conducting ^discussions there; Public Mihded Citizens To Aid Officers In Traffic Regulations; Students Warned To cooperate with police department in enforcing traffic reulations, a group of 30 citizens of Bellingham have pledged themselves to aid in any way possible. The names of the members of the group have not been revealed. The group feels that because of the terrfic toll of life and serious injuries taken by careless driving, the automobile driver must be made to feel his responsibility. It is reported that the group will lend their assistance in reporting traffic violations in both the city and in Whatcom county. The spokesman for this committee pointed out that improvement in driving offers the only hope for cutting down the enormous number of deaths and serous injuries sustained each year from .traffic accidents. Traffic authorities estimate that 90 per cent of the automobile drivers are normal, prudent, and careful. It is among the 10 per cent that the reckless and incompetent are found and this 10 per cent must be roused to their sense of responsibility before satisfactory progress can be made, reports the group of citizens.

"It is to be such an improvement over the last book/tftat Self-Starter, just doesn't sound right. We'll tell you more about the contest! later on." .At the meteing o f the Women's League-commission last Wednesday afternoon • many ; suggestions were made for this revised book. Since the last report of the work of this cornmitte was made;at a Commission meting the committee has been quite busy.. The general" plan of the..book has been formulated, most of the sub-heads bhosen, and much of the actual writing done. Infbrmais Cleared 'The Commission decided to charge a minimum of 30 cents for girls who sign to go I to the informals and fail to appear.

Pleas, threats, appeals to decency, intelligence, and courtesy, in fact every possible method of persuasion but bribery has been used in a vain attempt to remedy the assembly situation. The faculty and the Board of Control at present are puzzled as to a new approach to this high-schoolish problem, although it has been suggested that a conduct test be included in the entrance examinations. Perhaps the Board should send for a few pamphlets on the discipline of the very young child. Maybe we are one of those nervous youngsters who doesn't eat his crickly, crackly, crumbly, crunchies every morning. After the situation last Tuesday there's bound to be a new attack made before very long. So be prepared. It might.be a good idea to bring tin pans to pound in assembly just to make sure that neither you nor anyone else hear a single note of the concert. o For Rent—One Wrecking Crew Too late, someone has thought of a use for the Men's club It could have ben hired out under the Better Housing program, to tear down old buildings.

Tips For Movie Fans By Bob White If you enjoy exhibitions of hilarious activity bordering almost on the insane, then you're a Marx brothers fan, and for you we have good news. The Marx brothers' latest vehicle "A Night At The Opera" opens tomorrow night at the American theater, and is one of the best demonstrations of Marxian madness ever released upon an unsuspecting public. Ever since the release of "Cocoanuts", their first big hit, the Marx brothers have been rated high in the entertainment world, but in this latest release play some scenes which are far ahead of their previous efforts. Why, that one scene in the stateroom of the boat where the stowaways—but you'd better see that for yourself. Incidentally, the song "Alone' which has been so popular for the past few months is the . theme song of this picture. ! On the same bill will be shown "Thunder Mountain," Zane Grey's recent western story, featuring George OBrien as the big, rough he-man who falls for the eastern girl who falls for—here, here, enough of this. One of the best books published within the past Jew years is the "Magnificent Obsession". If you've read the book, you'll be glad to hear that the movie version of this fine story J s opening tonight at the Grand theater, with Irene Dunn and Robert Taylor in the stellar roles. This film follows the book plot to a surprising degree, so if you've read the book and enjoyed it youll iike the film. If you don't know ; the story, you'll still like the film. Music lovers, attention! Lily Pons, nationally known soprano, makes her first screen appearance in "I Dream Too Much," showing at the Mount Baker theater until Sunday;. On the same bill Dickie Moore.and Tdm Keens are playing in •'Timothy's Quest". Sunday, that.prince of pantomime, Charlie Chap* •Un,:;wfll be seen in his latest play "Modern Times." also at the Mount Baker theater. In this picture, his •i first in five years, Chaplin has permitted his voice ; to be recorded for the first time in a scene in which he sings, which is ^coming out of the silence in a big, , ; _ - tj^-£ •--• •••«*»•"•'• " •••:/ ; - ' ; . .

Next should come the schot-tische. One, two three, hop; one, two, three hop; step hop, step hop, step hop, step hop, (turning) repeat. At our dances why not do some of these? You all know them. Let's get most sociable and do a Virginia reel, or a square dance to Round and Round the Vinegar Jug. How about a brownie? "Swing your partners!" Nobody cares who nor where nor when. It might be up in the Viking office, even. All we need is some one to start it. There couldn't be anything like individual interruptions of Brahms Waltz No. 1.

Once upon a time there was a man named Caesar—give thanks to him, girls, he's beginning to go up in my estimation as a man of great discernment. It seems that he gave us our joyous Leap Year—or do you know the value of that particular time for the feminine gender? It has given us a new method of attack, thusly: First you. ask the man of the moment for his hand. If he refuses you; his hand he is supposed to present you with something else, say, a dress or a fur coat, or maybe even an automobile. Dont you think it's aa ideal method to acquire a winter wardrobe? Or should I say spring outfit—that's far better, for in the spring a young man's ideas run toward romance arid such.

Viking Sports SEE THE SMOKER NEXT MONDAY .. LOOKING IT OVER.. By Lloyd Nelson .. r. i i' Woe is me! .Here it Is time for Looking It Over again and not much that is worth looking over; it shoukLall be over-looked. Hrowever, to keep any real scandal monger from taking my job as sports editor I will try to give you some of the sports high-lights of the week. The first shower-room key-hole 1 chanced to look through, who should I see dressing for the Varsity basketball team but Bill Ames. It's rather late in the season to start turning out but the idea sounds good to me, as Coach Lappenbusch badly needed spare men in last night's game With Ted Dziedzic still laid up and Dick Carver joining the grand-stand sitters by ruining his Norman Bright, the far-famed ex-bright light of Sam Carver's track hopes, once again broke into the country's headlines when he burned in the fastest time ever set by an American in the 5,000 meter race. In an indoor race, Bright made the fast time of 15 seconds flat. The race was run in New York city. Bright, upon whom Carver once based all his track team's hopes, attended Bellingham Normal in 1928, 1929, and 1931. While a student here he managed to break all . , • I j tn-normal records in the mile run, leg on the varsity s eastern trip, last gt; t n e s a m e ^ n m w h i c h ne j u st night's game looked rather dark for smashed American records recently. Norman Bright Places Normal On Map Again Former Light of Bellingham Track Team Makes High Time in 5000 Meter Run Norsemen Handed Defeat By Speedy Teams With Help Of Old Man Tough Breaks Ellensburg, Cheney Trim Norse In Wild Struggle As Lappenbusch Hits Jinx; Carver Collapses us even before the starting whistle blew. If any more first-string men get laid up I guess I'll resign as sports editor and start training myself. At last the long-looked-for smoker is looming1 on the sporting horizon. Almost everyone read about, and heard about, the up-and-coming boxing class, but so far very few people have actually seen the would-be pugilistis in action. This next Monday night spectators will have an opportunity to see how mean a mitt some of our future school teachers can sling:. Trueman Kennedy seems to have high hopes for some of his foundlings. Here's hoping his expectations are not ill-founded. Coming back to the deficiencies in our varsity basketball team, Lappenbusch might find some good material in some of the players taking part in the district tournament next week at Lyndenl If there are any more players in this little town as good as one of the Viking hoop-sters acquired there, it would be worth the Normal's time to offer a bid on a couple of them to fill in some vacancies that have been created on our team. Skiing is becoming more popular all the time, judging from the en thusiasm shown on the campus the other day. Poor George Dack, head gardener, was running- around like a chicken with his head cut off, vainly trying to save the lawn. But the skiers had their way and a good time was had by everyone—except, perhaps, Dack. Enrollment in enginering and architectural courses in colleges of the United States during the past five years has dropped 35 per cent.

Playing before a large crowd, Sam Carver's Jayvees brought the curtain down on the 1936 basketball season by decisively trouncing the highly touted Mount Vernon Junior College five, last night in the preliminary, of the Bellingham-EUens-burg contest, in the Whatcom high school gymnasium. Led by a couple speedsters, and former high school mates at Pair-haven, Bill Taylor, and Dutch DeVries, the Normal squad took advantage of an early lead and held it until the blast of the final whistle. Taylor scored 12, DeVries eight, and Occie Starlund five. Ellinger, former Mount Vernon high school ace, offered the only resistance for the Junior College boys. He gathered 12 of his team's 19 points. The game was decidedly rough with both squads taking part in floor polishing. As was seen in the last half when Olson, rugged guard, shouted "hey" to Morns Tarte, Jay-vee sub, who had the ball. Tarte threw it to him, and then realizing his mistake, amid the ripple of heckles from the feminine group, dove at Olson and neatly planted him on the maple, with a sweet body block. Evidently Mr. Olson knew not of Tarte's football career. Bellingham 20 Ellensburg 23 Carver 7 .„ lt; ~.F Drovetto 2 V.Griend 2 JP......... Bunstine 10 Phair 4 C Hall 1 Dombroski 5 G Foust 4 B.

Wild Game Played In the wildest basketball game of the year the Ellensburg Cats took the Vikings to camp 23 to 20. The game was played with one referee who was unable to handle the assignment. Thursday, February 20, the WWCE team came to Ellensburg with the intention of repeating its homecoming football triumph. The slow start of the game coupled with the great number of fouls fljas enough to start the Normal ship on its road to defeat. Ellensburg Team Tall The tall quintet from Ellensburg had enough speed and scoring ability to outfoul the Vikings and give the home team a 3 point advantage at the end. Bunstine, Hull, and Bossma, all well over 6 feet 3, were able to get the tipoff and retrieve the ball under the basket, thus giving them a decided advantage. Carver played good ball until he was injured in an unfortunate fall. Carver, it was found, had suffered a broken cartelage in his left knee. Without the services of Carver the team lost ground and after two baskets by Foust and Holl the game ended. Vikings 23 Cheney 59 Carver ...JP Kerns 11 B.

The Cheney squad seemed unable to miss the hoop in its home gym; West and Rebensdorf being especially effective around the foul circles. Carver started the game for the Norsemen but collapsed on the floor soon after the opening of the game. Lappenbusch replaced him with J. Pence and the combination seemed to work. The inability of the Vikings to check the speedy Indian forwards was the undoing of the Western team. Lappy Unlucky Phair and B. Pence were the only men on the Viking squad to click. Phair out scored his opponent, Eustace, and Pence showed up the Cheney team when getting the ball from the backboard. Stutz played a very heady game and Dombroski also aided the Viking cause with 6 points. AIT members of the traveling squad saw action in the Cheney point gathering spree. Coach Charles Lappenbusch saw his third varsity player out for the last game when Carver crumbled to the floor. Tough luck has been on Lappenbusch's trail all quarter, first Zambas, then Dzeidzic, and finally his highest scorer. Carver. WClub Fights Are Scheduled To Be Monday Kennedy Expects Good Showing From Boys He Coached This Quarter "Monday, March 2, is the date finally set for the W club smoker," says Truman Kennedy, boxing instructor. "Also," he goes on to say, "I expect to have some good matches, as the boys have shown lots of fight in their workouts." The bouts will be in the little gym at 7:30 p. m. The smoker includes eight matches, each consisting of three two-minute rounds. The lnie-up is as follows: Alexander, 127, vs. Baby-face Til-son, 138 ;Valinta, 132, vs. Johnson, 138; Torpedo Young, 158, vs. Two-fisted Taylor, 156; Nelson, 170, vs. Stuart, 168; Richards, 162, vs. Do-lan, 158; One-round Willis, 156, vs. Wilson, 152; Reichman, 198, vs. Wildcat Alpaugh, 195; Nilsen, 135, vs. Willison, 140. . Bat Bettelli, southpaw slugger, is definitely out with a broken nose which he acquired a couple of weeks ago when he tried to stop Wilson's terrific left in a workout. As Bettelli did his duty working out earlier in the quarter, a place has been reserved for him as a second. Coon is the other second.

Calendar of Events OLD NAME INDEFINITE It Is Hoped That Something of The Ideals and Individuality of School May Be" Expressed. (By Gordon Leen) The Weekly Messenger wants a new name! Following the announcement of this fact in last Friday's assembly, the Board of Control is calling for suggested titles to adorn this newspaper in the future. Although the contest among students for an acceptable title has been open for a week thus far there has been no response from the student body. So the Board again calls for suggestions, reminding all those interested that the person submitting the winning name will receive $5.00 in trade at the Co-op. There is no limit to the numbers of possible names which may be sent in by one student, but the provision is made that all those submitted must be handed in either to the Board or the Messenger before the close of next week. The winning caption will be selected by a student- "faculty committee appointed by the Board. Both the new name and the winning contestant will be announced on Campus Day. Seasons For Change Given Reason for changing a name which has stood for over twenty years or for the. whole life-time of the' Messenger have been #set forth by journalism students and others interested in the welfare of this campus publication. The most outstanding; of these is that the present name is not meaningful enough—it is not in keeping with school ideals and traditions. Also, it is entirely too general, as it might apply to almost any weekly publication. The elements of time and place are regarded as most. important in choosing the new name, but the winning title should preferably be a direct-sounding phrasing suggesting the environment, ideals, or traditions of the school according to the standards set up. "The Lewistonian," of Lewiston, Idaho; "The Normal Advance," of Terre Haute, Indiana; "The Northwest Missourian," of Marysville, Missouri; "Campus Crier," of Ellens- Twrg; and "State Normal School Journal", of Cheney, are typical names used by normal school and teacher's college papers in this coun-try.

And always, from the dark corner where sits the sage, come two words: "The Co-Op." , . - , • - • J •» j -Twenty years have passed since first the Co-op opened Us doors to a student body of doubtful size and doubting natures. Much water has flown under the bridge since then; many books have crossed the counters Today, tomorrow, and next week, the Co-op will enjoy some of'the rosiest days of its history. Ever* day is now its best day. Now to the Co-op come students in unending streams, each requesting commodities which.would have;shocked the educational super-visor of the first Co-op. Swimming suits and the like in a store of an ^ ^ ' ^ t r s ^ years, constant instigation of the needs of the student or the stuaem bDoCdyy and the wants of the individual sudents have been s t u d e n t n e e d m a y be discovered and catalogued until n o w f . 1 M Qn g h J t n o t i c e a t t h e s t u d e nt book store. This service, which has been instituted to meet the demands of the customers, has placed the Co- Op in a place where it is second to no school bookstore as far as' quality and service are concerned. The blue book of college bookstores rates it a Class A. shop, the highest honor such an establishment as1; the Co-op can gain. A present for your best girl, or a card to send congratulating your worst friend on his graduation from the reform school, may not be commonly accepted by educators as necessities. in schools of higher learning but the Co-op has recognized the needs to a certain extent, -for, while the latter gift may be doubtful, the former is not.' And thus, with the variety of articles carried, designed to meet every student need, the Coop takes its place in the front rank of American college book stores, and, as is stated in the advertising section of this paper "Takes its hat off to none of them."

STUDENTS ASKED TO VERIFY CRITICISMS The Weekly Messenger Compared to Other Normal School Papers in Display in Messenger Office. There has been a great deal of criticism of late of the Messenger. Feeling that those who criticize should have an opportunity to.verify their remarks directed at this paper, the journalism class has selected from among the exchanges, papers from other normal schools and teachers' colleges. These papers will be posted on the bulletin board in the Messenger office. The staff invites all students interested, to come into the office and compare these papers with the Messenger. Those who wish to are cordially invited to examine the style, makeup, and contents of these papers and to decide how the Messenger compares with papers of similar schools. One of the papers to be put on exhibit, the "East Central Journal," from the normal at Ada, Oklahoma, was recently judged the best teachers' college newspaper in the country by the Columbia Press association of Columbia university. New York. The Messenger was not entered in the competition. Private Peat's Famous Lecture Outstanding In Week's Events NORMAL WILL HEAR FAMOUS GEOLOGIST Dr. Thomas Jagger to Lecture on Volcanoes and Earthquakes in Auditorium, Thursday, Apr. 26. .!;. 0iM^ ^£§0SS^ Stirring the entire student body with his inspirational address on "The Inexcusable Lie," Harold R. "Private" Peat, internationally famous soldier, lecturer • and author, told his enthralled listeners in Wednesday's assembly that war. will not be outlawed until it is presented as a sin and not glorified as it has been in the past. Private Peat, a wiry little Canadian who was one of the first to enter the great conflict under England's banner, and who wras severely wounded in action, depicted war hot as a great and glorious adventure but as a horrible slaughter. "If I were asked for a picture of war, I should go to the bowels of Mars and select the most hideous creature there and place/it before every schoolhouse door instead of erecting a beautiful monument to a great general," the speaker declared, driving his point home with firm conviction. . Mr. Peat colored his dramatic and emotional address with a lurid description of the horrors of war, which,,.cdupled with his keen wit arid cunning; but clever satire, won. the attentibn and interest of the entire Student body. ;v; : :: ;•'.'• He attacked the misconceptions of war that have been given youth by historians, artists, writers and poets, who have never seen the front line trenches. The men who go through a war, lie explained, do not sit down arid write books about it. . "It is time to talk world peace when it is possible for the scholar, the judge, and the farmer to win a congressional medal," the speaker declared. He. pointed out that the glorification of .Lindbergh shows that there are things other than war that appe.il to the imagination of the public. Private Peat paid a high tribute to Woodrow Wilson, whose statement when the United States entered the last great world conflict, that "this is the war to., end all-wars," was the spark that fired "the weary souls of. the Allied soldiers and enabled them to defeat the Germans, he said. lt; Closing his talk, the Canadian war veteran predicted that the world will hear more about war during the next ten years than it has during the last decade, because the feelings of people are;Still sensitive. The speaker - - a t the conclusion of his address-was'' given the greatest ovation given Aspeaker "this year. Dr. Thomas A. Jagger, geologist, will speak in the auditorium Thursday evening, April 20. Dr. Jagger was with the Tavlof expedition of the National Geographic Society and will speak on "Recent Volcanic Erup% tions and Earthquakes." Dr. Jagger, says "Who's Who", was graduated from Harvard (A. B. '93; Ph. D. '97) and he also attended both Munich and Heidelberg Universities in Germany. He was Professor of Geology'in Harvard Latin and was afterwards a member of the U.' S. Geological Survey. His work during more recent years however has been in volcanic regions, he having conducted expeditious to Mantinique, Vesuvius, the Aleritian Islands, Hawaii, Japan, Costa Rica, Sakurajuma and was the founder and operator for a number of years of the Hawiian Volcanic Observatory, His 'work oil the volcanic geology of the world has done much to enlighten scientists as to the structure of, the inner strata. Geology has grown into recent prominence since Darwin wrote his "Origin of Species." Fossil remains have contributed a lot of evidence in support of the evolution theory and the work in the inner strata--of the earth has strengthened the value, of such evidenctf, which- tends\to prove more clearly, the age and early development of the earth. / Dr. Jaggar has contributed a number of interesting stories, to the National Geographic Magazine. His talk will not only be of interest to students but to scientifically inclined men and women of this community; The Second Annual Northwest Washington High School Music conr test will be held Saturday, April 21, in the auditorium at 2 p.m. The contest is under the direction of Mi-.

" For t h e benefit of those who either didn't read the editorial or failed to get its point, here, in a few words is its gist: " E n d l e s s criticism, based on practically nothing and showing little knowledge of student affairs, has been coming from candidates for Stud e n t ' s Association offices. They have criticized almost all t h e existing institutions of this school—with little understanding or background. Yet they have been elected. They have made foolish promises and stood for nothing. So w h y elect t h e m ?" I n their student opinions, both Mr. Benedict and Mr. Thompson have a great many words to say, a n d in justice to them, their articles are p r i n t e d in full. However, a close scrutiny and consideration of . t he facts in the Various instances they cite will show that they have said very little worth considering. At least, such is m y opinion (borne out by a n y number of people who should be competent judges of the t r u th or f a l l a c y of the above-mentioned gentlemen's statements). I n A n s w e r to M r . B e n e d i c t ' s Student Opinion. First, the editorial was called for, by a widely-prevalent student opinion. Second, although I d i d support Dean Edmundson for president at the last election, there is no reason why I should not question some of his tactics or p a r t s of his platform. Third, I d i d not support a girl for vice-president simply because she w a s a girl, but because I hfelieved her the best qualified of the three candidates. Fourth, it is notsa. tradition here to have a girl for vice-president (as witness the last three incumbents). Fifth, if it is necessary to criticize wholesale or to suggest change, practical plans for substitute or modification must be offered before criticism becomes worthwhile. Sixth, a member of the B o a r d of Control is only one of seven, and will accomplish nothing unless his viewpoints are shared by the remaining members. Seventh, although I d i d not h e a r D e a n M a r t i n speak in the recent assembly, I d id hear President H a l l of the University of Oregon, and w h a t d i d h e s ay about the " r u l e of the majority of all the p e o p l e " ? Eighth, Mr. Thompson's speech did not s h ow that he h a d a real knowledge of student affairs, nor d i d it qualify him for office. Does Mr. B e n e d i c t ' s knowledge of school affairs, as shown in his article, then, qualify him for his position? As he h a s come forth of his own a c c o r d with his numerous. statements, why should he not be j u d g e d on t h e merit of his policies? I n Answer to M r . Thompson • First, in his student opinion, M r . T h o m p s o n shows that he h a s u t t e r ly failed to get t h e main point of the editorial which motivated his reply. H e takes the s t a n d that I am a conservative " d i e - h a r d " , opposed to a n y criticism whatever. O f course he is wrong. My point was t h a t criticism based on faulty assumptions is valueless, and so on, a s stated above. I f M r . T h o m p s o n will but r e a d the editorial in question, I am sure that h e will see h i s e r r o r . Second, I agree perfectly with him o n his a t t i t u de on p u b l i c opinion, but am a f r a i d that if those people w h o v o t e d for h im scrutinized his statement carefully, he would lose many of his b a n d of supporters. Third, the so-called "verbal b r i c k b a t s " he mentions certainly were not directed at him alone. He, a s t h e most outstanding crit-icizer among several candidates, came in for his just deserts as a.n example of what I was hitting at. Fourth, M r . T h o m p s o n ' s charge of "nigh-schoolishness" on the p a r t of the Messenger is absurd. For instance, we print accounts of high school happenings because they a re news, just as t h e University of W a s h i n g t o n D a i l y features high school basketball tournaments or track meets on its front page with big h e a d lines, because they are news. Fifth, as t o comparing the Messenger with other, newspapers, Mr. Thompson is h e r e b y invited to visit room 2 0 5 and make comparisons himself (we have numerous papers from different parts of t h e c o u n t r y for h im t o refer t o ) . • _ I believe there is little more to be said. Like Mr. Benedict, M r . rhornpspn further evidences his ignorance of affairs he speaks about by his article. H e makes misstatements a n d comes to obviously faulty conclusions. And, since he does not k n ow that unsigned articles in this column are a l w a y s written by t he editor, I conclude, R O B E R T F I S H E R , Editor of thfe Messenger. GOOD EVENING!

WINGARD GOES ROUTE Husky Pitcher Driven from Mound In Eighth; Two Bad* Innings Prove Fatal for Carver's Men. The Normal Vikings suffered their first practice defeat of the season when they fell before the University of Washington varsity baseball nine last Saturday afternoon, at Seattle, by a score of 6 to 2. The locals played good ball but had two bad innings when the Huskies bunched four hits, along with two Normal errors, to score five runs. Aside from the rather disastrous third and fourth chapters, the play of Coach Sam Carver's ball tossers was on par with the collegians. Eddie Wingard went the route for the locals^ hurling a nice game and holding the University nine scoreless after the fifth inning. Unable to solve the offerings of McLean, Washington southpaw, for six innings, the locals got to him in the seventh and eighth, with a series of hit and drove him from the mound. Thorsen started the fireworks for the Vikings in the "lucky" seventh with a two bagger, scoring a moment later on a Husky error. Again in the Eighth , In the eighth session, McClurken, •Normal shortstop, went to first on a clean single and was brought home by Wingard, who poled out a pretty two-base hit. The Vikings, however, were unable to hold the pace and went scoreless in the final inning. : The game was noticeably free of errors, wuth the Hilltoppers making two and the Huskies but one bad play.. Although Coach Tubby Graves' veteran nine accounted for ten hits, none of them went for extra bases, while two of Normal's bingles were two-baggers. Viking Lineup: McClurken, ss.; Odell, 2b; Clark, cf.; Wingard, p.; Johnson If.; Smith, c ; Bailey, rf.; Thorsen, lb.; Thor-lakson, 3b. Hits: McClurken, 2; Clark. Wingard, and Thorsen. Runs: Thorsen and McClurken. The Viking's regular schedule does not start for a couple of weeks yet, so that Carver's men will meet a lot of stiff opposition in practice games until the time they tangle with the University Frosh in their first scheduled contest. University Reserves Courts for Students Students wishing to play tennis on the U. of W. courts must first register with the supervisor, showing their A. S. U. W. tickets and signifying which court they wish to use. The courts will be patroled from 8 in the morning to 6 p. m. by a man from the P. E. department. These rules will assure that students will not be crowded off by outsiders. Exchanges Wduld you still' like to- keep in touch with your high school paper? You (haven't all' outgrown those bonds of an earlier day. If so you you will probably find that familiar .paper in the, exchange file in the Messenger office. Also you may get an idea of what is happening in rival schools from the exchanges received from these institutions. A wealth of ideas can be obtained from these pages. Come and make their acquaintance. They are worth the effort. Spikes .\ Rackets An example of a demi-godin track was clearly illustrated last Monday. Norman Bright proved to be the dark-horse. This boy in a beautiful race defeated Brinkman, Ferndale's star long-distance man, in the mile. The time was 4:44 which is considered excellent pre-meet time. Norman took his time for the first three laps so that he might save his wind for the final sprint which occurred during tlie latter part of the last lap. Before Norman started his sprint Brinkman was way ahead and looked like a sure/ bet to cop the race, then young Bright stretched out and made the rest of the runners, appear to be going in the opposite direction. He easily took the race, beating Brinkman by about six or seven yards. * # *' * • Fans and Fanettes, acording to a recent article in the Bellingham Herald, have a chance to win a free season's pass to baseball games that the Bellingham Tulips participate in.

SOPHOMORES PLAN ELABORATE PARTY "Tomorrow night's the night" for the big Sophomore spring sport dance, a jolly affair where, one can wear the jolly old sports clothes, go without a date, not spend a penny and still have a good time. Such are the promises of the members of the entertainment committee of the Sophomore class. The Sophs have issued invitations to themselves, first, the faculty,, second, all the upper classmen third, and the freshmen boys, last, but, according to members of the committee, not least. Proving themselves more considerate than most hosts, the sophomores' have settled that old question "what shall I wear?" with a perfectly definite answer, "wear your sport clothes if you have any, and if you haven't, just be sure you don't, dress up." . Guests do not even have to worry about whom they will go with—it's a no-date affair—a phase of the entertainment which is expected to appeal to the sweetheartless older people of the upper classes. Another reason why this party is expected to prove one of the most popular of spring affairs is that it appeals to the drop of Scotch or Yankee blood that is in every American ,-r-it won't cost a cent either to get in. or, to get out. Added to these attractions is music by Herb Hess's Orchestra, "and decorations suitable to the season.

The events, as planned by; Head Track Coach Sam Carver, were to be finished Thursday of last- week but only a few were run off Monday and Wednesday. A potential Viking star was uncovered in the mile run when Norman Bright,' an unkn6wn, now in his first year of track competition, covered the four laps in 4:44. Brinkman followed him to the tape in 4:48, with Marsden coming through _ in 4:49. Bright's mark, coming on a slow track, gav« Coach Carver hopes of developing him into a really outstanding runner before the season is over. The shot-put was copped by Ray Jewell with a heave of 3S feet. Ar-nett chalked up a distance of .33 feet for second place, while Johnson scored 31 feet 10 inches. Ivorsboen and Miller were the only two entrants in the 120-yard high hurdles. Korsboen was timed at 19 seconds while Miller was disqualified. The broad jump was won by Stan Thompson with a jump of IS feet 7 inches. While not being exceptional it was good for tryout jumps and Stan is expected to increase his distance.

From his own comments in conversations and editorials we -learn of"two reasons. In the first place he wanted a girl for Vice-President, ' no matter who it might be. whether interested in Student Government or not, capable or not capable, qualified or unqualified makes no difference.] It is a custom to have a girl Vice- President We must satisfy a few who might complain and above all we should follow the old traditions. Play safe by voting for a candidate who says little and thinks less. Secoundly, Too many men on the Board of Control who think' for themselves and have the energy to express themselves in the light' of the' student opinions is not desire-able. They may look for more power or wish to advocate reforms which are not desireable by conservative interest. At least not by the past president of the fall quarter. . These reasons in no way justify his criticism but go to show his prejudiced attitude concerning tin* outcome of the recent elections. \ I for one, have no objections to girls serving on the Board of Control, In fact there should be two girl members to represent the students, But if we fail to put up a strong enough candidate or if we if the men put up a stronger candidate are we to vote for the weaker one, just for the sake of putting a girl on the Board of Control?? The Editor supported our President, Now when elected he turns around and attempts to ridicule his own Candidate as we'll as the students who voted for' his choice. Is there any consistency in this .attitude Mr. Editor ? ? I fail to see it. If students want certain rules and policies in this institution, How are we to obtain them unless we advocate them?? Nothing can be gained without effort and often it is necessary to destruct in order to"* build ;-up that which you are striving for. The best and sane method which the students have followed is to recognize leaders who advocate the things which the students want whether they the.things can be obtained in the position the officer holds or not. Senator Jones has not the power to create a tariff on shingles but nevertheless he can advocate such a tariff if the citizens so desire him too. and thru efforts such legislation may be obtained. When the Board of Control has not the power it might wish,. Certainly the least it can do is present the opinions and attitude of the student body concerning school, problems. I for one have faith that the administration will give them some consideration, at any rate there will be a more definite and clear understanding between the two. Is there any harm in so doing. The Editor has failed to point out any. The next point raised by the Editor is:, A member of the Board of Control is only • one of the Seven, What has he to say or what can he do ? Possible he is attempting to thrust upon us some difficulties he has had in getting what he wants done.?? Sfcich a fallacy in arguement is hot worth considering. Should the state of Washington refuse to elect two Senators to represent our state in Washington D. C. they.are only two Out-of the ninety-six?? •fc'I -believe the student body in choosing their officers, have judged them according to the candidates ability and Character and the interest they have in school activities. And-1 believe the students are just as capable as the editor might be in selecting officers. The Editor would have us believe that we all were ignorant, unintelligent students, Uncapable of choosing the right officers and what not. Is he right?? If so he might enlighten the unfortunate student body by telling us how to select a candidate, Possible he is more qualifed to do so than Dean Martin was able too in his excellent lecture in a recent assembly?? If I understand a Editors position correctly, He should know something besides what a question on the surface appears to be. In short he should know the truth and facts in a case and then give his opinion from the conclusions he has drawn. Has this been done?? Hardly He has failed in his attacked upon the successful candidate of the last election, Mr Thompson's speech in The MpstUp-to-DateClothing and Furnishing •For the Least Amount of Money .. \ \ my beliefe won him no material votes. Those he won by his speech were counteracted by votes he lost by such a speech. This seems to be the prevailing opinion of many students. Nevertheless everyone admires a fighter, a man of principles and who is capable of telling what he thinks regardless of what others may believe. Even tho we do not agree with everything that is said we must acknowledge that everyone has a .right to their opinions.

In reference to the part it should take in the school's building program, she said it should either erect a student building, or buy and install a set of chimes. President Fisher-also spoke of the building program, and told of some of the pres- lt;end and future needs. He also discussed the' school's future, declaring it. to be one of the brightest among the entire country's educational institutions.

The results of the Messenger questionnaires distributed in assembly have been tabulated by the Messenger Council and the staff. The results show that only 31% of the students subscribe to other papers, though 60% read newspapers; The advertisers will be pleased to note: that 81% of the students read their ads in the Messenger. The; editorials are interesting to the student bodyj as 99% proffess to read them. It was suggested on a number of questionnaires that Student Opinion be developed; That means the students must express themselves more often by means of this column. The only department that a goodly number suggested eliminating was the Literary, i0% voting to discontinue it. The literary column is open to contributions from all students, providing the work submitted is acceptable to the literary committee. More material, in the form of poems, short stories and essays, is needed to keep this coluihh up to a high standard. A world news column, which is to contain a brief summary of news of the week, is desired by 80% of the students, ^ h e many good suggestions and criticisms made have been discussed by the staff. Every idea offered cannot be followed out as many of them conflict. The co-operation of the students in answering these questions is appreciated by the staff and council. PRES. ASHE? VISITS TEACHERS'INSTITUTE Entertained at Dinner by Former Students and Teacher. Best Comedy Ever£ Written American Says Critic. by PRESENTED BY DRAMA CLUB in the November 22 number of "School and Society" is an article entitled "How Shall We-Judge Our Teachers ?" written by Mr. Kolstad, under the department head of "Educational Research and Statistics." The study is based upon statistics gathered by Mr. Kolstad from the Army Alpha Test and the Downey Group Will- Temperament Test as given in the Bel-lingham Normal. He compares his results with those of such others as Whitney, Knight- and Rugg, who are also making a study of the rating of teachers. There. seeriis to be a very low re latiohship between school grades and teaching ability; also between practice teaching grades arid teaching ability. The •Khight-Frazeri ; Trade Test foj- Teachers shows the highest correlation between an objective measure and teaching success. Mr., Kolstad says that such a; test holds forth excellent promise. ; ••:•'•'.' '''•'''' • •"'" • •'-• ' • '. ': In cdhclusion he says, "A review of some of the studies of teacher rating seems to indicate very definitely the lack of rieliably objective methods: No brief can be corisistenly held for a subjective.: scheme. Scientific progress in education caiis. then for new measuresj scales or tests as an objective means} of judging pur teachers." „,... ;-';.': ; ' ; ; j ; :^..^.;V';"\,'5"' O^-. '.

"The Shbw-Off," the play to be ^given itt the Normal . aUditorium Saturday, Deceiribet 13; is said by critics id be the best comedy ever written by an American. ..The play was written by George Kelly, and made its first appearance at the Playhbuse Theater^ New York City, February-2, 1924. " 'The Shbw-Off without doubt is the most humorous comedy I've seen this season. Teeming with the creamiest brand, of humor, devoid ofv the tawdri-riess of the theater .and full to the brim with laughter . . . t h e season's comedy top-notch: without any exception . . . this American comedy is so amusing, so true, so delightful and so naively refreshing that it almost marks an* epoch. Precisely native, it should be sent abroad as an example— a very fine example of the achievement of our native stage," writes Alan Dale, of "The Show-Off" in the New York American. '' "The Show-Off," a satire on American bluff, departs quite radically from the form which has been associated traditionally with comedy. It is less lavish with incident and human personality has been made more vivid, more truthful and more complete. True to Life. No one can question the authenticity of Aubrey Piper, the "Show-Off." He moves under his own steam from the moment the curtain rises. He sets the pace and the story follows. We have seen him everywhere.

Hard The basketball season for the Normal opened Monday, December 1, at 4 p. m., when the quintets of the Thespian Club and the Independents met for the first game of the intramural tournament. Both teams came on the floor full of fight, and were both confident. The Thespians began with a flying start and gained a 3-point lead, which theyi held" during the first quarter. But •',. the second quarter the Independents began to show their mettle and when the score was added up at the end of the first half, the Independents had a lead of 2 points. The score was 10 to 8. Both teams started the final half with lots of pep and fight. But luck seemed to favor the Thespians, so that when the smoke of the battle cleared away the Thespians were on the big-end of the stick, Thespians having 24 points to the Independents 21. Both teams were well supplied with players and everyone was given a chance "to show his stuff. The* honors of the game were evenly divided between Pop Reed, of the Independents, and Bowman of the Thespians. Second Game of the Series. The second game was played Tuesday afternoon between the Rural Life Club and Spark Plug teams, These teams seemed to be evenly matched as the score at the end of the first half was 10 and 10. But in the last few minutes of the final go, the Spark Plugs began firing. When the whistle blew the score stood Rural Life 14, Spark Plug 26. The Rural Lifers being shy one player, ran in Pop Reed, Avho was expected to win the game, and altho he gave an excellent exhibition of basket shooting, the Spark Plugs could not be stopped. Wednesday's Game. The third game was to be played^ be-twen 4he Podunk all stars and the Spark Plugs. But the Spark Plugs had not recovered from the effects of the previous night's game, so they sent in a substitute team—Pop's Pets. Altho the Pets put up a game fight andx played good basketball they were unable to overcome the splendid team work and skillful basket shooting of, the Podunk All Stars. ' The final score was 49 to 22, in favor of the Podunks. The Thespians, and Philos are scheduled t© play Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. This is expected to be one of. the best and hardest fought games of the tournament. Although the Philos have not been seen in action, they are expected to produce a team that will put up a real fight for the championship. In times past the Philo-Thespian game has always been the outstanding game of the series and is always looked forward to. The winners of this game will play the Podunk All Stars for the championship of the tournament. The winners are to be rewarded with a silver loving cup. The official referees were "Kewpie" Winegard, "Dutdh" Wilder and Frank Bartch. . JVlr. Bond: "The.trouble is you students don't know simple arithmetic!.

It was suggested that the club have a song and yell and each girl is to work on this. Miss Long spoke to the club on their responsibilities as members and laid special stress upon the keeping of their health charts. SMOKELESS SMOKER TO BE STAGED SOON One of the really sporting events of the quarter is promised for next Friday night, December 12, when the W Club stage their big athletic show in the small gym. This is a furtherance of and improvement on the "smokeless Smokers" of former years. All men students and faculty members, of the school are invited and about 99 44-100 percent are expected to be present. This is one of the strictly "stag" affairs of the year and practically all of the men students usually turn out. What makes it of especial importance this year is the large class of boxers to chose from, and the possibility that a boxing team may be formed to meet Cheney at the ancient art. No data, on who the mitt wielders were to be is available at this date, but the problem appears who to pick rather than where to get their boxers, for the committee in charge. There will be no admittance charged and probably doughnuts and cider will be served as refreshments. W, A. A.

"vTikings I besides giving thenivthe Tri-Normal -championship of the State, as they have also defeated Ellensburg Normal 24-0 there, on Armistice _ day.. The other.two victories won by the Vikings were over Seattle College 51-0 in the first game of the season, and over St. Martin's College by the score of 20-0.'•• Coach Davis' team lost two games, one to the strong University of Washington Freshman by the score of 10-0 while the other was'to the Super-Varsity of the same school by the score of 13-0. The game November 22 was a': big feature of the first Homecoming Day, held at the Normal. It was a great game too, with the remarkable line bucking of Dick Bruland, Captain of the Vikings. The first touchdown came in the first quarter, after a steady march down the field by off-tackle smashes and line bucks. Dick Bruland carried it over on a line buck. The try for point failed. Fumbles Frequent. . The second quarter was scoreless, with the ball mostly in Cheney's territory, and punting being frequent with Bruland of the Vikings,_and Erickson of the Cheney Savages dividingv honors. Fumbles were also frequent because of the muddy condition of the field. The Vikings almost scored in the second quarter when a pass from Bruland to lies was fumbled in the shade of Cheney's goal. It was caught by a Cheney back, who raced back to center field before being downed by Wine-gard. ^As the half ended the Vikings were making another march into Cheney territory. The second and last touchdown came in the third quarter when, after a series of line bucks, Bruland again carried the ball over. The try for point was successful when a pass to Staggs, Viking end, was completed. The fourth quarter was scoreless but a touchdown- seemed certain when Wine-gard returned a punt 35 yards and got away from £he entire team only to be downed by the Cheney safety man. The Vikings played the best brand of ball seen this season, outplaying the Cheney aggregation in every department of the game except punting. Here hon ors were about evenly divided until Winegard started punting. He had slight edge on Erickson, Cheney right guard. Teamwork good.( The entire team operated as one unit despite the fact that they were playing on a wet field. For some of the men on the squad it was the last time they were to play under the blue and white Bartch at tackle and Bowman at guard probably played their last game and per formed in good shape. Getting thru the opposing line was their specialty. Staggs and lies did some great work on the wings never letting a play go around them. Ruthruff looked good at center and not once this season has a team made yardage thru the center of the line. Winegard Shows Speed. The. open field running of Winegard brought the stands to their feet several times. Erickson, husky Viking fullback, carried a big part of the attack. He did some nice tackling besides going thru the line when yardage was needed Shelton, one of Davis's recent finds did some nice work at left taekle when he replaced Bartch, who injured his leg. But the great work of Bruland was outstanding. He made both touchdowns besides going thruon off taekle smashes and line,bucks for big gains. This was probably Bruland's last game. It was a merry homecoming crowd that saw the Vikings down their ancient rivals, and Coach Davis and his assistant, Reed, have been" congratulated on turning out such a successful team this year.- " ' '•* .

Miss Weythman. says, "It is a good thing to be able to swim, and save one's self in case of any danger, but how much better to be able to rescue someone else from drowning. This knowledge is of great value to anyone, but especially, to school teachers, who are so often called upon to attend- children on boating and camping trips.

Mr. Thurburn has been in the Near East during the past four years and expects to return after Christmas. He states "While there has been a greta deal of good work accomplished up to this time, yet there is so much more that can be done if funds can be raised." ' One idea he particularly emphasized was the fact that wherever they saw the Stars and Stripes they knew they would get protection. He further stated that Armenia looks to America as a Great Mother and urged that we do everything possible to help her. NORMAL GRAD WRITES OF CHINESE SCHOOLS young but vicious Vikings.

Kindergarten Experiences • China Vividly Portrayed. m In the November issue of "China's Millions," a publication of the China Inland Mission, there appears a very interesting sketch of the kindergarten work of Nina Gemmel, a Bellingham Normal School graduate. She has a school in Yuanchow, Kiangsi. " The following is a short part of her inspiring article: "What they enjoy most and what is most practical in their eyes is the daily handwork which they make in class and take home with them. They make paper baskets, lanterns, picture frames, colored birds, chairs, mats, boxes and many -other things that can "De easily made with \the aid of paper, a pot of paste, and a pair of scissors. Along with this article they take home a slip of paper on which is written the characters previously learned, each day adding a new one. "Not long before dismissal we have prayer, and these tiny tots of old Cathay bow their pig-tailed and shaven the heads low over the table and ask God to make them sMne as candles in this -dark city. ' When eleven o'clock comes and going home is in order they stand in a ^ow, bow three times, take up the bit of handwork and list of characters in. one hand, the huge umbrella in the other and march gaily off home." . Nina Gemmel graduated in Bellingham with the class of 1918. She is principal of the missionary school at Yiian-chow, and dean of the girls' boarding school there. The first grade entertained their mothers and the kindergarten children with a play November 27, in the first grade room. Little fluffy haired Vivian Clarke played the part of the red ben in the play entitled "The Little Red Hen." Pauline Drake was the goose, Berton Ross was the cat, Jack DeMuth was the pig, Charmain Holdcraft, Mar-gret Boyd, Bobby McGeeney, Jack Whit-more and Elsie Sorrel were the chickens. Vincent Bockaug was the announcer of the play and served very well in that place. The children finished up their program by singing "The Wise Old Owl," "Robin Red Breast," and "Mr. Turkey and ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1924 December 5 - Page 4 ---------- •B«i«ei» Manager •; i-JAdviaer ;",',:"''-"":..Tr',M HARRY APPLET©!* WARNER FOYHONKN _«_ RUTH A.

Already, the Messenger is beginning: to feel the effect of the new life injected by the Editorial Council. The Mowing is the first fruit of its endeavors: - THE POLICY OF THE MESSENGER SHALL BE: 1. To bring the students of Bellingham State Normal School into closer relationship, (a) by affording an' opportunity for the expression of student ideas, and (b) by presenting all the school news. 2. To further the best interests of the school at all times. FUSSERS GUIDES. Among the many ideas for change and improvement of the Messenger, brought to light in the recent questionnaire, was one which had nothing to do with the paper itself but was too good to let slip past. The University of Washington and the Washington State College each publish a little booklet called the "IFusser's Guide." In it are listed the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and home addresses of all the students in school. - The idea was not to copy after the larger institutions but to have the lists posted on our bulletin board where all could see them. Such lists are kept by the Dean of Men arid Dean of Women and could easily be copied at the beginning of each quarter. Despite its nickname, the list would serve many worthy purposes. At least it would open up possibilities heretofore unthot of. The more you think of it, the more feasible and convenient that idea appears. araHUfflfflBiiiiHiiiiiinniuiiiimnuiiiiiiiiniauu With Other Schools In the history of the Yale-Harvard football games the "longest run for toUchdbwh was made by R.

I 99 i TZMuMike LETTERS. . . Shape Up, Girls!To the Editor: The writers of this letter would like to criticize the deplorable situation of the feminineattire which seems to prevail at Western. Having attended other institutions of higher learning, we findthat the fair maidens' appearance on this campus is somewhat deplorable. It is a most unfortunatesituation. Western has its share of attractive girls but they are certainly not doing themselves justiceby their dress. One finds it extremely displeasing to look at some slovenly feminine-types that can be found in abundance in the Coffee Shop. Is this the current trend in American fashion? We say "skirtsand dresses" in, "sawed-off blue-jeans" out. Come on girls, give it a go! T. D. and B. MisinformedBorman? Dear Editor: For the information of Miss Judy Borman: Perhaps, Miss Borman, you should do a little more research before you write articles as you did about the condition of the Coffee Shop. Asyou say, the Coffee Shop is Page 2 open longer hours, and therefore, there is additional wear on thefloors. But, the management of the Coffee Shop is doing all they can to keep the floors clean and waxed. Thirty-eight man hours per week are spent in cleaning and waxing the floor. If you see the floors in whatyou call "despicable" condition, it is during the day when our clean-living students litter the floor withassorted papers and cigarette butts, because the floors are swept and mopped each evening. MissBorman, we of the Coffee Shop staff would like to extend to you an invitation to come and watch or helpwith the scrubbing and waxing process that goe-3 on every weekend. Nancy Rabourn Thanks from Kate To the Student Body: White Horse, Yukon Terr. Feb. 28, 1962 Prospectors and broads, Thanks amillion for the reception I received upon my arrival to your campus.

Unfortunately the fast mov-WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Deal 'em, Cal ing pace of college life (twist dances) is just toomuch for an old gal like me! I am returning the deed of the Viking Union Building along with a check ofthe profits from our grand opening which is to be donated in my name to the WUS. Thanks foreverything. Good Bye. Love, Klondike Kate P.S. Would the Batchelor's Club please return my girls?THE FIFTH CORNER by Judy Borman On the Library poll: Students asked to indicate their prefer-ance on weekend library hours (to maintain current Sat. and Sun. hours of 2 to 6 p.m. or to change them to 1 to 5) marked their choice with noted indifference. It looked as though the change would be generallyprefered, probably because of conflict with dinner hours, but most students shrugged and asked"What's the difference?" It seems that this poll is a bit ridiculous since the-change would be such aminor one and since there was no request for other suggestions regarding week end hours. If thelibrary had conducted the poll in an attempt to find which weekend hours the students really utilize,they would probably have found that most students don't March 2, 1962 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 March 2 - Page 3 ---------- care one way or the other about Saturday hours, but would like to see the library open on Sundayevenings . . . Sunday evening, after all, has always been the traditional 'study time-' of theotherwise non-academic weekend. * * * More on the coffee shop: In answer to Miss Rabourn andother indignant Coffee Shop staffers, here are some additional comments on the state of the CoffeeShop floor. Even those who objected to the attack of last week more or less agreed on the poor upkeepof the floor, but this qualifying point was made: The problem is primarily due to student's not bussingtheir dishes since the table mess has a way of gradually floating off onto the floor and because thestudent help employed to keep the tables cleared could be spending their time on the floor if coffee-shoppers would assume the bussing responsibility. Also, a large effort is being made to keep this floorlooking well, so the fact that it doesn't is not due to a lack of man-hours used in sweeping, mopping,etc, but to the negligence of the students. The cry this week is "Bus those dishes" and the floor, as wellas the tables, will begin to look less like a garbage pail and more like a public eating place. On studentfaculty committee on academic dishonesty: Some positive steps are being taken to clear up somequestions on the problem of cheating in college courses. A joint faculty-student committee has met andbegun to formulate some possible policies concerning this problem. Students or faculty members whohave complaints or suggestions are invited to voice their opinions via Dean Kuder who will presentthem to the committee. Western Washington C O L L E G I A N Vol. LIV, No. 18 A WeeklyNewsmagazine Western Washington State College Bellingham, Washington Second-class postage paid at Bellingham, Washington Printed at Pioneer Printing Co., Bellingham Karen Bainter Editni MargaretSoth Assistant Editor Frosty Billingsley Feature Editor Nigel Adams Sports Editor Judy Borman NewsEditor Dave Benseler Business Manager Arden Munkres Photographei Mike Martin Assistant SportsEditor Perry Mills, Chuck Stockwell, Roy Mumme Cartoonists Tames Mulligan Advisor TAKE FIVE by Frosty Billingsley Last weekend, it happened . . . the epitome of apronstringness. Not only did theAssociated Sterile Body go home, but they were so anxious to get there that they skipped Fridayclasses to do it. Such a large dose of security all at once should last till spring vacation. Used to be,when Western was but a pup, there was not much calling for activities after the witching hour. Butgrowing as we are, and with the coming of entertainment which entertains, we are outgrowing our"College of Education" hours. The way things stand now, there are only three events which last past 12p.m. (the Prom, the SSI and the Homecoming Ball); if I remember correctly, most high schools supply about three late dances per year, also. I don't know exactly what criterion an event should meet before it be allowed to last until the "wee hours" (if 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. can be termed such), but I do know thatthese hours are wished. After all, a Chev won't turn into a pumpkin. You know, I have been under theimpression thai the Business Office of our fair college engaged in cashing student checks as part of their business-like activity. I was even informed, at the Business Office, that this was indeed so. And yet Ifound it impossible to get a $75 ASB check cashed there. "Go to the Book Store or co-op," theysaid, "We don't have that much cash on hand . . . well, you see, today is a registration day and we'rea little short of money." Not being too sure what the fact that today was a registration day had to do with a cash shortage (in fact, it seems that they would have made sure that there was some extra on aregistration day), I went to the Book Store to cash the check. There, I was informed that this was noexception to the rule, but a regular occurence. Sure am glad we have a Book Store to take care of theBuisness Office's business. Later Bwana! Page 3 EDITORIAL BOOKSTORE REVISITED . . . Threebarbed suggestions to the always-run-through-the-mill Student Co-Op Bookstore: 1. Why not puit thebook lists for the next quarter up during the end of this quarter, and stock the shelves so it's possible tobuy some of nexit quarter's books ahead of time? This would enable students to do some of their readingduring spring vacation and would also take some of the pressure off the Bookstore during the firstweek of school next quarter. This was mentioned in Judy Bormans column before but why doesn't theBookstore order enough books for classes? It seems that for every lit course I have taken this year, I have ended up waiting to get books, or never getting books, because there haven't been enough ordered to goaround. Part of this is probably due to the Registrar's letting too many people into class than theprofessor wants, but it seems to happen quite regularly, and it seems that someone should developsome foresight. 3- On the subject of just casual reading . . . Why doesn't the bookstore stock some offbeat books? Most college bookstores do. The only place I can find anything off-beat seems to be insome of ithe strictly from hunger down town bookstores in Bellingham. (And that isn't very often.) Withthe student mind whait it is, the bookstore should carry a large stock of different and controversialpaperbacks for leisure reading. Instead, the books at the bookstore resembte the selection that anyonecan obtain at any bus depot. Perhaps, if the student body were to finance a trip for the bookstoremanagers to Ferlenghetti's bookstore in San Francisco, they might get an idea about what can be done in the realm of paperbacks. March 2, 1962 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 March 2 - Page 4 ---------- ORCHESIS CONCERT The Western Washington State College Department of Physical Education willpresent the Orch-esis dance group in "An Evening of Dance Theatre," at 8:15 p.m. Friday in theAuditorium. The compositions will range from humorous satires to serious pathos. One of the uniquenumbers in the program is titled "Reflections." This is a composition based upon the nonsensical verses of Ogden Nash. The dancers will use a metronome and voices as the method of accompaniment. Most of the theatre dance forms will be represented, ballet, modern jazz, musical comedy and moderndance. The emphasis will be on the modern dance which builds movement in a time-space structureas a means to say something rather than as an exhibit of technical brilliance per se. The majority ofthe choreography has been done by the students. Some of the student choreographers are AnitaStewart, Cassandra Lawyer and Kay Bentz. Two solos will be presented; one by David Highnamwhich is titled "Climax" using the music of Bolero, and the second is in the balletic style and will bedanced by JoAnn Prin-cen. Page 4 PLAYS TO BE PRESENTED Cohen author of one "The HungerArtist," a play by Dr. Gerald Cohen of the English and Foreign Languages Departments, and "Trial ByJury," a one-act operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, will be presented on the same bill, Sunday, March11, in the Campus School Auditorium. Directed by Dr. Paul Wadleigh, "The Hunger Artist" and "TrialBy Jury," directed by student Steve Buss, will be presented in a stylized way â€” with reading fromscripts but with movement, gestures and acting. It will be done with what Wadleigh terms "simplifiedstaging â€” reducing a lot of the details." In speaking of his play, Cohen stated, "It is a grotesquevoice-opera with dance. It was originally written as an opera libretto but I have revised it as a verse drama with music and dance . . . The idea was suggested by a short story by Franz Kafka, but I have takengreat liberties with that suggestion. It's a very different kind of play in that I'm trying to suggest someideas about individualism and protest rather than by telling about these things in prose. Theproduction will be essentially experimental, mainly to achieve dramatic and choreographic effectwith a minimum of staging. "The Hunger Artist" is about a once popular spectacle staged for theentertainment of a pleasure-seeking public; the exhibition of a professional "hunger artist" performinghis stunt of fasting in a cage of straw. A change has taken place: his spectators now see the HungerArtist as a trickster, a has-been, a common circus freak; they expect him to cheat and to break fast onthe sly. But fasting is his sole reason for existing â€” it is his "act." "Trial By Jury" has the followingcast: Judge, Lyle Bordner; Plaintiff, Kay Zatrine; Defendant, Ron Whitener; Consul, Don Rich-ter; Usher,Merle Gebers; Foreman of the Jury, Harry Rodenberger; and a mixed chorus of bridesmaids andspectators. Musical direction will be done by Gary Lind; choreography by Cassandra Lawyer; designby John Stanovich and Eric Lee and Sheila Stimpson will be the pianists. WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN LEGISLATURE New Format . . . Collegian by Dave Colburn Next year the Collegian willrevert to the news tabloid format style. A recommendation brought to the ASB Legislature Monday by Bill Burke and Dave Benseler (editor and business manager for next year) was unanimously approvedby legislators. Burke explained that the Collegian should contain more of a news reporting style andrestrict the editorializing and esoteria that is now used in the present paper which is a newsmagazine.Burke felt that a strict rein should be kept upon the Collegian's style giving informative, unbiasedinformation which would instruct future advisors of college newspapers as well as giving factualinformation to students. The Lynden Tribune's bid was accepted. Their printing features will give theCollegian more space. The Tribune will also supply and maintain a two-way teletype equipment, free of charge, to allow instantaneous transmission of news, print all pictures at no added cost, and the best feature â€” to print "this week's news this week." This last feature will allow the Collegian to move itsTuesday deadline to Thursday. In a business standpoint the Collegian's budget will only have to beslightly increased, and the returns to the A.S.B. will be increased. "VACANA" Prom theme"Vacana", a Venezuelan theme, has been selected for this year's Junior Prom. Ken Cloud and his bandwill afford the music amid gondolas, fountains, and bird cages tomorrow night from 9-1 in the V.U.

This money would be spent for the new American fad, fall-out shelters. The American people's federal legislators are not, as it looks now, going to appropriate this money for a newprogram of protection for the American people. If there are going to be fall-out shelters, each family, orcommunity, will have to provide for them. Before we all anxiously grab our spades and start digging, let'stake a good long look at what this new hysteria is that has swept over the people in this country.According to John C Wolfe, director of biology and medicine of the Atomic Energy Commission,"Fallout shelters in many areas seem only a means of delaying death." The blast of a nuclear attackis not the real menace, the real menace lies in lack of air, or radiation caused by that attack. The merefact alone of the radiation which will be present in the atmosphere, many weeks after the initial attack, formulates a problem Upstairs featuring â€” â€¢ SUITS â€¢ SPORT COATS â€¢ SLACKS â€¢SHIRTS â€¢ CASUAL WEAR â€¢ EVERYTHING for the well dressed College Man GAGES 201WEST HOLLY of how many people can afford to stock their fall-out shelters for weeks? For thesereasons and many more I believe that the recent emotional hysteria engendered in the Americanpeople by our leaders is nothing more than a pure hoax. Our Nation was created, and sustained, upon Judeo-Christian morality. Supposedly most of the Christians in this nation are not afraid of death,but are prepared for it. These same individuals, however, state that we must prepare ourselves againstenemy attack by digging a hole and crawling in it like moles. Assuming these people, be they heathenor Christian, survive, what have they to live for? In the event of a truly all-out nuclear attack there wouldn't be edible food nor drinkable water. You would survive to smell the stench of a dead earth AN EARTHTHAT COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED HAD THESE SAME PEOPLE SPENT THEIR TIME ATTEMPTINGTO FIGHT COMMUNISM INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM IT INTO THE GROUND LIKE LITTLEFRIGHTENED CHILDREN. I would rather fight a war on my feet, than suffocate, or be trapped orburned to death in a hole. I shall certainly not cower in a hole for weeks nor spend time and energy when I could be doing something to prevent any eventuality of war. One parting thought, if the Sovietswant total conquest of the world, which is evident from their words and actions, why would they destroytheir chances and their gains by annihilating themselves and their gains through nuclear war? Theywould have to be stupid to do such a thing, and if anyone thinks the Communists are stupid,LOOK AROUND AND SEE WHICH SIDE IS DIGGING HOLES AND COVERING THEMSELVES UPWITH THE REMAINING DIRT. THE OTHER VOICE . . . by Bill Burke The raging controversyconcerning the value of the latest answer to our growing war mania, optimistically referred to as the"fallout shelter," continues, and will continue as long as war preparation exists. My reasons foropposing the WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN March 2, 1962 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 March 2 - Page 9 ---------- building of fallout shelters are essentially the same as those behind my opposition of nucleararmament itself. If we allow ourselves to believe in the highly publicized (and highly theoreticalâ€” forno one tested the performance of a shelter within the immediate range of an atomic blast) survivalcapabilities of fallout shelters, then we are avoiding the reality of the destructive power of modernweapons. The fearful American seems to think if he digs the hole deep enough, and if the cement isthick enough, he can emerge in several weeks to a world not drastically altered from the one he left. He, in his overpowering desire for safety, fails to realize that, in an area hit hard by a nuclear attack, if theblast doesn't cave in his cave, the following fire wave will remove all the oxygen from the area and he willsuffocate. Also, if the attack were a complete one â€”which it must beâ€”it would raze most of the-United States, and leave the atmosphere destructive to any life for a period of time impossible to wait out in a shelter. Much of the opposition to fallout shelters centers around the belief that it is cowardly tohide in a hole. But this argument still does not accept the fact of annihilation. And this point brings usback to the proposal of nuclear disarmament. As political and military thinkers recoil in horror at themention of words like "pacifist" and "disarmament," they might stop just once to consider the fact that since, no solution has yet been discovered, it might behoove them and the nation to stop toying withlives and discover the reality of modern war. SPEAKERS TO SPEAK Something new is being tried inthe Speech Department this quarter to provide a more realistic situation for students partaking in the speech classes. One student, chosen by classmates in each of the fifteen Speech 100 classes, willspeak at 4:00 March 5 in front of all the assembled Speech 100 classes. Five students will be chosenfrom the fifteen speakers to speak at 3:00, March 7, in the Lecture Hall of Old Main. This will be open to everyone, and each of the five finalists will receive a prize.

The predicament to end allpredicaments found the Evergreen schools' representatives faced with two giant embarassing positions.The first was with the results of the Evergreen Tournament and the second was that of a real small college NAIA team dropping out of the regional competition for the ride to Kansas City in order to accept theNCAA small college as the West Coast's small representative in New York. The firsl blunder not meant tobe was that of the conference tournament results. It was supposed to go according to script. Also, itcould act as a fund raising game for the league. It did not go according to script and there is a reportthai says it might not have gone off as a fund raising tournament. First, the last place teams, Whit-worthand Eastern, won the tournament in their respective order. Western was just able to beat the leaguewinners PLU in another one of their terrific ding dong battles for third place and the alleged third placespot in the NAIA regional play-offs to be held this weekend. If you've been following so far, then the natural thing is to shake your head and wonder why they even have an Evergreen Conference just as long asthey get together at the end of the year and play to see who represents District 1 at Kansas City. Now the league champion PLU is supposed to be completely out of the picture, (keep reading to get out of thismaze) Little Seattle Pacific College down by the Government Locks gives us the second part of theblunder. Royal Brougham, Post Intelligencer Sports Editor, played up the Falcons just a little too much inthis writer's opinion. Just because they name the gym after you doesn't mean that you should give theimpression to the reading public that this team is an unbelievable small college team. Now he's giventhese poor fellows that used to have a hard time getting games with the Seattle City League a swelledhead. In fact the "Giant Killers" have decided in their excitement to jump ship and go to New York andplay in the NCAA small college tournament. Keep in mind that they already have an obligation to play inthe NAIA Regionals for Kansas City. Now in their excitement the little tiny boys from SPC face a year'ssuspension if the committee decides to act on the mistake of the SPC "good guys" as they work theirway up the ladder of success. Now to the District 1 Committee and the decision of the day. Sundayafternoon the members as a body decided that the regional playoffs would be held with Whitworth,Eastern, Western, and PLU involved. The regional play-offs will pit Whitworth against Eastern, atEastern, on Saturday night. Western will play PLU here on Saturday night. The winner of the game atEastern will visit the court of the winner on Monday night on the West side. If a third game is necessarythe two teams will travel to Eastern Washington for the play-offs. The other decision involves the SPCteam, and that one is still pending. The point of all this is to point out the ridiculousness of the need for a league tournament. First, it completely eliminates the reason for a league and the need of sending ateam with a respectable won-loss record to meet the finer teams in the United States at Kansas City. The tournament leaves a regular season attitude of "who cares" and destroys keener competition since apoor team still has the chance to take a won 2 and lost 18 record away to Kansas City, which would point not only to the weakness of the league, but to the strength of the some of the athletic directors'philosophies. Above all an ideal. But the points of a tournament at the end of the season, leaves thosetheorists with some good points to argue for, such as; a good team would never have to worry about thistournament, and it would prepare it for the bigger games. Also it allows the late comers (which is true ofour U.S. Education System) and therefore in the long run would give us the team that could react betterunder fire. (Cont. â€” page 11) EVCO TOURNEY Western Third by Mike Martin The first annualEvergreen Conference Tournament in Tacoma last week in which Western took third place saw lastplace Whitworth upset the cart and take first place with first place Pacific Lutheran finishing fifth. Thisweek Whitworth plays Eastern and PLU is here at Western tomorrow night. The two winners willplayoff in a three game tourney next week and the final winner will represent Dist. 1 (Wash.) in theNAIA tournament in Kansas City. Whitworth 60, Western 50 Whitworth's usual rock hard zone defenseproved a little too strong as they dumped Western in the second round of the EvCo tourney last Fridaynight. The Pirates led the game most of the way until midway in the second half when Western tied itup 46-all. The good Christians from the Inland Empire got hot at the foul line and scored 14 pointswithout a break in the last 7 minutes. The scoring splurge was too much for the Vikings and theysuccumbed, 60-50. Jim Adams, bothered with the flu, still led the Blue with 18 points. Ed Hagen wastops for Whitworth with 17. Whitworth (60) â€” Hagen 17, Anderson 8, Rubright 11, Otgaard 14,McGlocklin 10. Western (50) â€” Adams 18, Rise-land 7, Clayton 8, Huston 3, Edwards 4, Rife 8,Shugarts 2. Western 74, Pacific Lutheran 70 In the consolation bracket game Saturday night Westerntopped PLU in a game that wasn't decided until the last 30 seconds. The game was marred by foulsand saw Western's Clayton and Hans Albertson, Lute center, sitting out part of the first half with threefouls apiece. Both teams were cold at the foul line with Western 14 out of 28 tries and PLU hitting 12 of21. The usual Western-PLU brawl ensued seeing the lead change hands several times but the Lutesheld a 33-29 halftime lead. The Vikings, sparked by reserve Bob Gilda and a couple of crucial lay-ins byKingsbury, took the lead midway in the second half and held on to win. Albertson led the Tacomans with 23 points. Adams, Edwards, and Page 10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN March 2, 1962 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1962 March 2 - Page 11 ---------- Riseland combined for 50 of Western's 74 points. Western hit 56 per cent from the floor with PLU a bit colder with 40 per cent. Add two! Western (74) â€” Adams 17, Edwards 16, Riseland 15, Gilda 11,Kingsbury 9, Clayton 6. Pacific Lutheran (70) â€” Albert-son 23, Poulson 16, Castleberry 12, Fredrickson 9, Nelson 6, Malnin 2, Olson 2. Tomorrow night's game with PLU is the most crucial of the season forWestern. The Vikings have to win to stay in contention for the Kansas City trip. UPS WINS SWIMMEET Western high 3rd Pugei Sound was unanimous Conference Champs last Saturday in E-Burg inwinning 9 of the 14 events and setting 7 Conference records. If it is any consolation to Westernswim fans, the Vikings swam a strong third. UPS garnered 145 points, Central 73 and Western 65.Times that were winners last year were out of the question this year. Coach Jacobs has put the Viking swimmers in a year of waiting as the team has matured and should be a stronger contender next year.It is interesting to note that Western's swim team held the first conference meet and championship a few years ago and wasn't even a recognized minor sport. In fact, it, like SPC in Basketball, had a hard timegetting games or meets. Now virtually every school has a swim team and it is hard not to get meets.March 2, 1962 PELOTITA (Cont.) Well, out of this mess up of the past weekend in Tacoma, let us hopethat the Ev-Co is able to finally decide just which is the right team to make the trip. Personally, I wouldn'tblame either Western or PLU players for being a little disgusted. After all, PLU has won the league andrightfully been given a berth in the regional play-offs which was intended for a league champion.(Remember, PLU was eliminated from that chance last weekend in Tacoma). The Vikings, of course,have beaten PLU and finishing second in the league deserved the other position in the regionals. Bothteams have a fine won-loss record, but those teams at the other schools with their records really have noright in the trophy room at all this year. It is the opinion of this writer that the 3 game play-off should bebetween Western and PLU as it isn't and should have not involved these two teams at all in thetournament at Tacoma. Let us hope that Royal Brougham does not coach the SPC Falcon's next year, oryou might-find them among the Top Ten Teams in the NCAA Big school rankings! RUGGAH by PeteNapper In one of the roughest and definitely the coldest games of the season, Western lastSaturday literally fought their way to a 6-6 draw with Oregon University. Temperature at game time was22Â° as Western played under the lights of the Port Angeles Stadium. Players augmented their shortsand "T" shirt uniforms as much as possible, but Kinsey never saw a more frigid group of males. Anunconverted try by Oregon was the only score of the first half, leaving Western with a 3-0 deficit. GaryBridgeman, taking full advantage of scrums on the Oregon five yard line, bulled over twice for twounconverted tries. Oregon retaliated with one more unconverted try, ending the scoring at 6-6. Thecrowd of 600 plus were brought to their feet midway in the second half as tempers, barely undercontrol for both teams throughout the game, erupted into a donnybrook that any fight promoter woulddearly love to stage. With approximately 20 players swinging from the heels, pandemonium reignedsupreme. Rugby was resumed shortly thereafter with each team minus a player, a penalty forunsportsmanlike conduct or hitting in the clinches. Next week, Coach Al Mathieson will sort out hiswalking wounded gladiators and head for Oregon where Western will end their scheduled season against Oregon State. This will be a ten round, non-title bout. ~HllrISTTLI^^ TOMORROW NIGHT 8:00 in GYM WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN WRESTLING ENDS Viks 4-3 for season Western's first varsity wrestling team closed its season last week with a creditable record of four wins and three losses.During the last two weeks of the season the Viking maimen defeated Lewis and Clark College andPacific University in Portland before bowing to the University of Washington varsity in Seattle. Lewisand Clark fell to the Vikings 32 to 5 and Pacific was a 24- 11 victim. The Huskies defeated Western22-10 in a meet thai was much closer than the team score indicates. Coach Bill Tomaras reports thatthe Vikings demonstrated great improvement during the last two weeks of the campaign and anticipatesa fine season next year. SAILING GLUB Defeat U.B.C. While Western's basketball team was provingitself on the court, Western's Sailing Club was exhibiting its prowess on the sea. A few weekendsago, the sailing club was proud to claim a third place trophy in the Seattle University Regatta. Lastweekend the club chalked up more points by defeating a team from U.B.C. Don Holert and Sally Green,skippers, took a first and second place respectively. GIRLS SPORTS The girls' basketball teamdefeated the. University of Wash., and the girls' swimming team placed third in a five-sided meet withthe University of Washington, Eastern, U.B.C, and Oregon State. Also, an indoor tennis team for thegirls is going to U.B.C. for a tournament this week.

Vol. 76, No. 32 WSL hopes third time's the charm for stalled elections By DonJenkins The Washington Student Lobby finally will have elections, after canceling them twice "WSL has a lot of flexibility," said Darcy Roenfeldt, a local board member and state chairwoman of the two-year-old student organization that lobbies the Legislature. The elections will be tomorrow, and filingclosed yesterday. Originally, the elections were scheduled for May 4, but when only one candidate filedfor the four elected board positions, the elections were postponed until May 11. But by Thursday, May10, still only three candidates had filed for the four positions. At that time Roenfeldt told the Front theelections were canceled, and the people who had filed would attend the WSL state meeting inEllensburg that weekend. Local chairwoman Tina Abbott, who was in New Jersey when the electionswere canceled, said WSL should have had the elections anyway. "That was a decision she didwithout consulting anyone," Abbott said of Rpenfeldt's decision to cancel the election. Board members need to have the approval from the students, she said, "whether two or 2,000" candidates file. Anotherboard member, Dave McFadden, said he thought it was a good idea to cancel the original electionsbecause not enough candidates had filed. The WSL met again last Thursday and decided to go ahead with the elections. Roenfeldt said she thought WSL needed "a family meeting" to sort out theconfusion. The elections will take place 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow somewhere in the Viking Union,where exactly had not been set by yesterday afternoon. The deadline for filing was yesterday at 5 p.m. Although the elections would be similar convention format, nominations will not be accepted from thefloor, Abbott said. Filing was necessary, Abbott said, to provide organization to the elections. Also, sheadded, candidates could be informed about what the positions entail. Tomorrow evening candidates willspeak and^anjjwer questions before the balloting. WSL board positions are voluntary and in the pastthe job descriptions have been fuzzy. The WSL board also decided to make all six of the local boardpositions elected, instead of just four. In the past, four people have been electedÂ» and they appoint the other two board members, who are the local at-large representatives. The local board will attend a state meeting in June, where state officers are chosen. Shortly before the filing deadline yesterday, fivepeople had filed. The position of local projects coordinator was still uncontested. The candidates are: Khodi Kaviani, local advertising and publications; Sheryl Alston, state minority representative; YvonneWard, state at-large; George Sidles, local at-large; and Gary Garrett, local at-large. Two candidates whohad filed earlier, Eric Clem and Clark Sitzes, have dropped out. Roenfeldt said she thought WSL'sflexibility was "definitely" an asset to the organization. WSL can try to be efficient, she said, withoutbecoming bogged down in bureaucratic tangles. Kevin Pool, Washington state's first robotics major,demonstrates Hero's ability to hold a cup of coffee. State eyes microscope sale JHÂ®ro' disR!ayed"â€¢r I . â€¢ Washington's first robotics to sleep," and wh By Paul Engbrecht A state official isinvestigating the private sale of 95 microscopes to students, faculty and staff in the biology department."The sales of surplus have to be done through the department of General Administration," said JimHackett, the supervisor of the State Property Redistribution Office in Auburn. Windows inESlab sealedup By Andy Perdue A Physical Plant employee said he thinks he has located and solved the fiberglassfumes problem in the Environmental Studies Center. Last Wednesday geology students on thesecond floor complained of smelling fiberglass fumes coming from the Vehicle Research Institute onthe ground floor of the Environmental Studies building. Larry Johnson, the mechanical engineer whohas been working on the problem since it appeared in February, said he thinks open windows on thesouth side of the building are the source of the fumes. Those windows are directly above thefiberglassing room. "Those windows are going to be sealed," Johnson said. "It should help everyone inthe building." Johnson said he thinks the problem is cured, but still can't figure out how the fumesescaped through the closed doors of the fiberglassing room. â€¢ See SEALED, page 3 YesterdayHackett sent a letter to Western Controller Don Stur-gill inquiring into the sale. Sturgill said biologychairman Ronald Taylor requested that the department be able to dispose of the microscopes. Sturgillsaid he assumed he had received permission from the state. "I assumed it (the sale) had .beenprocessed, but it had not been," Sturgill said. Sturgill explained that Western receives permission tosell items directly when the expense of selling them through the state would be greater than their worth. The biology department netted $3,400 from the private sale of 95 microscopes to students, rather thandisposing of them through state channels, "This is something the university should encourage; I know they won't in most cases," Taylor said.

"About 10 or 15 years down the road it will be the Model T of robots." Pool demonstrated Hero's ability to detect sound, light and motion.

In a sparsely-attended open meeting, Ford said he would work to "generate asense for the importance of liberal arts," but it would be wrong to assume that Western can be "allapplied science or all liberal arts." Although the job has been stripped of some major resonsi-bilitiessince he last served in it during the 1982-83 school year, Ford said that would only allow him more timeto "make Western a better learning environment." Much of the budgeting and staff responsibilitiesrecently have been delegated to other areas. Ford said Western's role should be to graduate literaterresponsible students with the ability to learn. Part of that process, he said, is teaching computerliteracy, which he said is becoming as important as reading a?id writing. ' A; Ford said regionaluniversities have a responsibility to commit resources to the communities they serve. He said preparingstudents for careers in high-tech industries is part of that commitment. Ford also suggestedhumanities courses that would serve mid-level and executive-level managers. But he said, "The stateLegislature expects more from regional universities than it is willing to pay for." Ford said it isnecessary to evaluate courses periodically to determine their usefulness. Because a ^program hasexisted for a long time, doesn't mean it should stay, Ford said. Ford said he is comfortable with a moredecentralized system for decision making. And he said the present structure of governance atWestern is such that it can solve most problems. Working closely with deans and department heads isone aspect of the vice president's job, Ford stressed. But he said he had no "grand plans" to present tothe colleges. Ford said he is concerned with enrollment lids versus the idea of accessibility to aneducation for everyone. The problem of new students getting lost in larger classes, tuition increases and balancing of liberal arts and applied-science courses are other concerns Ford mentioned, but he did notelaborate.

H.A. "Barney" Goltz. Washington ranks fifth in the nation in providing fundsfor higher education, the senator said last Thursday in the viking Union Lounge But that support perstudent is not very high, "There are danger signals in raising tuition," he said. Western is a state system created by the Legislature to provide higher education to all Washington state residents. Andeducation is the social and economic ladder that enables students to become more independentand prosperous in Washington, he said. Not only should the institution be dedicated to providingeducation, Goltz said, but it has an obligation to offer leadership to the region it serves. "Institutions cannot be isolated, they've got to be involved in the community," he said. Megatrends, though, arechanging the role of being a community leader, Goltz said. "We must keep pace with the change," hesaid, referring to the emergence of a global community. Western's current liberal arts program isbecoming obsolete because it covers only Western roots. Instead, universities should place moreattention on Asian countries and their cultures, he said. The senator's visit was a part of Western'sImpact Week Center helps business students By Kris Franich A year-old Student Advisory Center forbusiness students is open three days a week to answer questions about the business program. Thecenter, created last spring by Kenneth Keleman of the business department, focuses upon assistingstudents with general questions such as declaring a business major, direction on a certainconcentration, transfer credit equivalencies, course r e q u i r e m e n t s , graduation requirements andgrade points. The service is staffed by five student advisers. They answer basic questions to alleviatethe advising demands on the professors. The SAC is administered by the College of Business andEconomics. The idea of the center derived from Keleman, who saw a similar system at the Universityof Utah. Keleman said he thought a need was present for availability of business information to thestudents. If students do request information beyond the resources provided by SAC, the adviserswill refer the individuals to Academic Advising Center, Career Planning and Placement, Tutorial Center,Counseling Center or the Office of Student Life. The student advisers (Beth Hippe, Rob Wagoner, PaulAchen, Kathy Danner and Tami Tebeau) encourage students to come in and plan classes for fall ifpossible. Appointments are recommended and can be made in the Department of Finance,Marketing and Decision Sciences Office in Parks Hall 343. Walk-ins are welcome.

By Diane Dietz As aresult of dissatisfaction about how the recent merit raises were awarded, faculty are examining therewards systems. "It's a good time because these are things that need to be considered in a period ofrecovery or moderate growth," Rudolf Weiss of the foreign studies department said. "Now people don'tneed to fear being fired so they can collectively pool, their wisdom to reshape the university," he said. Milton Krieger of the liberal studies department said the merit awards should be scrapped altogether."There is a better way for. us as faculty to operate and to understand ourselves as a profession," hesaid. Maurice Foisy of the political science department said the money could be better spent"strengthening those programs that help faculty keep up-to-date. "Instead of putting money into payincreases for stars, we should be putting it into sabbaticals," Foisy said. Bob Keller of Fairhaven hassuggested Western "Put the money into a faculty development fund used to underwrite travel,research, leaves, exchanges, retraining . . . This will go much further to stimulate and reward actualactivity than added salary." Stephen Friedman wrote in the Chronicle of Higher Education: "Merit pay isnever offered to people engaged in highly-respected occupations: they are expected to possess driveand initiative independent of salary considerations. To suggest that granting merit raises will improve the quality of instruction is the ultimate insult to teachers. It says to us: You are not professionals, capableof sustaining excellence for its own sake or because nothing less is tolerable, rather, you are lazy andouter-directed, needing petty inducement to perform in a merely acceptale manner. "So please, don'tdegrade us with offers of merit pay for better instruction, good teachers aren't in it for the money.Instead, res-sophy department said, "and teaching will likely get more emphasis." Paul Woodring, anemeritus professor here, has proposed what has been called a "heretical idea." "I suggest that we offertwo separate routes to promotion. A faculty member could be promoted on the basis of teachingalone, or, if he or she prefers, on the basis of teaching plus published scholarship. Those who choosethe first route would be expected to teach a full load of 12 to 15 hours. When the time comes forpromotion, the quality of their teaching would be judged by â€¢iillpfiliii^ tore to use the institution of ourdreamsâ€”democratic, collegial, and egalitarian, not hierarchical and authoritarian." The faculty senate is considering requiring peer review as an element in reward decisions. "I think the system of peerreview will be an important step to increase the respect people have for teaching evaluations," PhillipMontague of the philo-students, by former students, and by colleagues and administrators, as it istoday. Only those who rate high as teachersâ€”well above the averageâ€”should be promoted to thehigher ranks. "Those who choose the second route would teach lighter loadsâ€” no more than eight toten hours a weekâ€”in order, to have time for research and writing. When the time comes for them to bepro- State employee eyes microscope sale â€¢ STATE, from page 1 ing a state sale. - In this case, the May 10 sale of "junk" brought in some $3,400 that will be used for classroom audio-visual aids, Taylorsaid. A biology department technician, Dennis Bohrer, said 13 of the microscopes sold for $5, and 28 microscopes sold for $50. Bohrer said those that sold for $50 were good quality microscopes. "I'msure the local schools would be delighted to buy them, but I don't know if they have the money," Bohrersaid. Bohrer said students, faculty and staff bought microscopes. ' The sale of surplus equipment oncampus is not unusual and happens two or three times a year, Sturgill said. The funds from the salesalways are put back into the budget that was used for the surplus' initial purchase, he said. Usuallystate agencies, including universities, must dispose of its equipment through state sales. Items suchas microscopes may be needed at public high schools, colleges or other universities. Sturgill said inother sales of state-owned surplus, Western has received prior approval from the State RedistributionOffice. "The state has concurred in every case in the past when we did it," he said. In other sales,Western has sold state motor-pool cars as well as Xerox machines, while getting prior approval, Sturgillsaid.

The Woodringsystem would "allow the university to capitalize on the individual strengths of the faculty," Weiss said. It would "encourage you to develop your strengths, instead of making you fit into a stereotype of aprofessor," Weiss said. "Not everybody with a Ph.D. is d e s t i n e d to be a great researcher," he said. The proposal would "open up the avenues for more professor types that reflect the reality out here," hesaid. Some faculty said they believed that less-drastic measures than the Woodring proposal wouldsuffice. "There would be less dissatisfaction if committees used the power they have right now...Ithink many opinions are rendered on the basis of insufficient evidence," Weiss said. When he sat onthe tenure and promotion committee, "we never even went back to the department chair," Weiss said. Krieger said, "Merit should operate less like a lottery and more like a truly deliberative process." Somefaculty said departments should have more say in advancement decisions. Units divide the labor. Someteachers concentrate on teaching, and some on other aspects of academia. "Nobody outside the unit is capable of judging the importance of an individual's contribution," Krieger said. "The furtheryou getaway from unit determination of such matters, the further you get away from the reality ofperformance," he said. Peter Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, agreed, "We need toencourage variability at the department level." He has suggested to department chairs they answer the questions "what are the goals of the department, and what are faculty as individuals going to do tomeet those goals?" Then individuals would be evaluated on evidence that reflects these goals, he said. Elich said, however, the criteria in the handbook is performing well. The criteria was establishedthrough "a carefully considered decision by the administration, the faculty and the trustees," he said.But the university must periodically examine the process "to see that standards reflect the wishes ofthe faculty and support the purpose of the university," he said. "The primary mission of the university isteaching, and the major justification for engaging in research is in support of the teaching mission," Elich said. "It's healthy to have faculty question what the university is doing, Elich said. "That's what keepsup the quality of the university; to have people who are constantly questioning our values. Theyare a pain sometimes, but they are essential to maintaining an intellectually stimulating environment,"Elich said. "We must be able to defend what we are doing," he said. "We have got to challenge ourideas. We need competing view points. That's what we're trying to teach our students, that the strongest and most truthful points of view will win out," Elich said.

The AS is taking yet another run atputting together a Faculty Course Evaluation book for GUR classes. Each of the last two years, the AShas spent thousands of dollars in an attempt to put out such a guide. Both efforts failed for variousreasons. A few years ago, the AS did publish an evaluation book on GUR classes, but it died becausestudent response was so low the surveys became ridiculously invalid. An effective method of solicitingstudent response will be necessary for the idea to work, and professor cooperation is the key to that.Professors need to be willing to allow the evaluation to be passed out in their classrooms. The AS'handling of the results could go a long way in getting that cooperation. The thought that professors' entire scholarly abilities will be judged on how well they teach an introductory course in their field may makesome professors apprehensive. If the main purpose of the evaluation guide is to identify the best GURclasses, publishing only the top 30 or so percent rated courses would accomplish this withoutembarrassing the bottom 30 percent. An evaluation guide that was an honor roll of top GUR classeswould serve its main purpose without subjecting professors to what in some cases could be unfaircriticism. After all, no group should know any better than students how subjective grading can be. And itprobably would procure widespread faculty support, which is absolutely necessary for the project tosucceed. AS must keep out of private business Last fall, a n enterprising Western student, JohnWarnick, founded the University Notetaking Service amid howls of protest from those who thought itwould serve as an easy alternative to attending classes. . Now Warnick is asking the AS Board ofDirectors to endorse and provide office space for his business in return for 5 to 10 percent of his grosssales. We have nothing against Warnick's notetaking service. Similar endeavors have proved beneficial on other university campuses. But we would not like to see the AS get into the habit of providing supportfor private businesses. AS offices today resemble crowded hamster cages in a pet store. Breathing roomis scarce. Priority for n ew office space should be given to clubs now squeezed out. In addition,government must b e careful to stay within the bounds of the public sector. Even the appearance ofconflict of interest must be avoided. Even if no such conflict arose from teaming with Warnick, theprecedent set would be a dangerous one. If the AS wishes to get into the notetaking business, it canlaunch its own. Otherwise, such enterprises should be left in private hands, without governmentsponsorship.

WILL L AUAW is OH 0UR HP- \/lCwÂ®( WILL ? 0W5 gt; Fed up with news leaks Reaganthreatens freedom By Irene MacPherson Freedom. A word, to many, synonymous with the UnitedStates. In the pursuit of truth, it is necessary to have an environment which provides for a freeexchange of ideas. This is something many Americans take for granted. It is being threatened by theReagan administration. Ronald Reagan, fed up to his "keister" with news leaks, wants to compel allgovernment employees with access to highly classified information to sign a " n o n d i s c l o s u r eagreement". This form requires them, for the rest of their lives, to submit any books, articles,speeches, even letters-to-the-editor they write which may touch on government secrets, to a governmentcensor before publishing them, and submit to polygraph tests if asked. According to an article by FloydAbrams in the May issue of Harper's magazine, Reagan's plan would require more than 127,000individuals to be subject to pre-publication review. Prior restraint is a serious infringement on free pressand free expression, and has been ruled so in cases such as the publication of the Pentagon papers.The Society of Professional Journalists claims that under the plan, former officials who become politicalcandidates would have to clear many of their speeches with political opponents. A former official whoworks in the media would have many of his commentaries reviewed by those about whom he wished tocomment. Timeliness of many articles and letters is of such importance that the inevitable delay causedby pre-publication review could effectively kill them. Frank Snepp, a former CIA agent, criticized thereview process in a Freedom of Information report from the Society of Professional Journalists. "The bigproblem with censorship resides not with the regulation itself but with the arbitrariness of theclassification system," Snepp said. "Something will be deleted in one work and not in another. They'llreclassify what they've allowed in the past . . . the government basically can delete anything it wants towith no question of appeal." Attempting to weaken the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Reaganadministration has been pushing for amendments that would make it easier for federal agencies towithhold information and increase the expense of making FOIA requests. This is in total disregard of theFOIA, which calls for a waiver of fees in cases that "primarily benefit the general public." Despite thecontinuing problems of overclassifi-cation, Reagan's plan makes it easier to classify data. It relaxes theCarter administration's classification guidelines, which required the government to prove that "identifiabledamage" to national security would result without it. The Reagan administration's policies make it clearthat it does not see the value in having an informed public to debate issues and contribute to policy-making. With the potential for abuse of secrecy, a law making it a crime to reveal classified information,rather than a plan to impose prior restraint, would be more in keeping to the principles of democracy.LETTERS Professor expands on publication issue Western Front; Your series, by Diane Dietz, onpressure faculty face in publishing is interesting, but so far has missed two crucial points: 1.Administrators like to rely on publication for promotion because it is so easy. They don't have to do astitch of work. They just say, bring me a list of your publications. Someone else does the workâ€”theeditorial boards of journals. No personal bad feelings. (No lawsuits either.) Just blame those journalsfor not publishing your articles. (For this same reason, student evaluations of teachers are sopopularâ€”they save the administrators work, potential ill will, and potential law suits. So easy to havesomeone else do it.) 2. Your chances of publication increase as your field becomes more narrow. WhatEnglish prof could publish on "Moby Dick" or Dickens? So they work on the lesser known works ofBulwer- Lytton (You remember: "It was a dark and stormy night..."). So students get teachers whoknow little about important things but a lot about unimportant ones. (Lesser known writers are usually lesser-known for a reason). And then these teachers offering courses like "Social Structure of the 18thCentury Irish Village" (a real course, alas, though not at Western). Your series was worth it just for thispriceless quote: "That's what universities are all about; they are in charge of advancing the disciplines." So there you have it, students. You thought we were here to provide an education for you. Stupidyou. We're here to advance our knowledge of the origin of diphthongs in Middle High German. I bet eventhe Washington State Legislature didn't know that. David Ziegler political science Post-nuclear warsurvival questioned Western Front: Who's the enemy? Ever since the development of atomic weapons,a struggle for a show of dominance has consisted of their growth to levels beyond the necessarymeans of either the U.S. or U.S.S.R. to destroy one another. With the ever-nearing threat ofdestruction beyond realistic comprehension, can we continue fooling ourselves into a false sense ofsecurity, believing in the ideal that no one could ever push the button? Our government wants us tobelieve we can survive a limited nuclear war. Limited! What is limited, and how do we survive? Certainlynot by the means suggested in the literature on "Home Fallout Shelters," published by the FederalEmergency Management Aency, or "Nuclear War Survival Skills," written for the Department ofEnergy. If we are to survive, longer term survival techniques and much stronger means of protection willhave to be established and made accessible to the public. Of course, the primary question we all have to ask ourselves is, "Do we want to survive?" What's the answer to surviving? Do you think man may stillbe able to get out of the corner he's backed himself into? Or is there no way out? With all the energythat could be unleashed by these weapons possibly some day we may be able to harness it for betterpuposes. If we survive long enough! â€¢ WM Kent Smith ---------- Western Front - 1984 May 22 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 22,1984 Features Western Front 5 Dream becomes full-time endeavor By Carolyn CaseyIt started as a dreamer's whim; taken about as seriously as a child's wish to be a fireman or a cowboy.TWo quarters short of a degree from Western, Lyle Bal-com, 24, decided he wanted to be a clown. Notjust someone who occasionally entertains his friends at parties, but a full-time, professional clown.So, against the advice of friends and family, Bal-com dropped out of school last spring where he wasstudying alternative energy and food production, and assumed his.new identity: Blumbo the Clown."People thought I was crazy to think I could make my living at it, especially in Bellingham," he said. "But my brother and I were confident I could pull it off. I just sort of had this instant feeling that this was myniche, something I was good at." Only one week away from celebrating Blumbo's first birthday,Balcom has surprised even himself with his success. He is surviving solely on his jobs as Blumbo. He works in restaurants entertaining kids by making balloon animals. He promotes area businesses, is hired for parties and will be starting a cable television show on channel 10 this fall. "Things have movedreally fast, a lot faster than I ever expected. In one year, I've reached my three-to-five year plans," hesaid. "Moneywise, I'm making more than I thought I would. It's come a lot easier than I thought itwould." His friends, he said, are surprised and still aren't sure exactly how it happened. "A lot ofpeople put their own restrictions on themselves. Instead, they need to think creatively. They need tothink 'How. can I do it?' All I did was create the job that makes me happy." Balcom attributes hissuccess to a philosophical idea he learned from Buddhist friends. Basically, he said he believes if youdo good things, good things come back to you. Balcom said he believes he has been rewarded for allthe time he has donated to his prime charity, the March of Dimes, visiting hospitals and nursinghomes as a clown and his generally giving nature. MMWMM Skadizzle!" Former Western student LyleBalcom began teaching the magic of making people smile when he became Blumbo the Clown.mttmmmmmmmfimm "I think everyone would agree to the idea and find it as a nice way to live," he said. "The difference is I try to practice it. It gets depressing when you think how many people say they live it and then your car battery dies and you have to ask 10 people before you can get a jump." For yearsBalcom has visited nursing homes in Blaine on Easter as the Easter bunny. Now, on his way home from jobs, while he's still in make-up, he has Blumbo drop in on the patients. "Sometimes it's depressing atthe moment. But, when you get home and think about it, you know it was worth it," he said. "And theycall you and you agree to do it again." The development of Blumbo's clowning parallels Balcom's timesof giving. While still at Western last spring, he became the Easter bunny in Blaine. During his stop ata nursing home, a woman whose son runs Northern Notes, a local singing telegram and entertainmentcompany, noticed him and told her son. Balcom was contacted by Northern Notes and in the midst of"spring burnout" he agreed to quit school and work for them as a rabbit, clown and, dressed in a tutu,delivering tutu-grams. "Northern Notes are the ones that gave me a little kick to get going," he said.Now he operates alone and has discarded his other identities to become Blumbo. It was in the samefashion he was noticed for a children's television show. Balcom had donated two Blumbo parties to the March of Dimes auction and agreed to appear as Blumbo to present them. While on the air, Bill Quern, a Nationwide Cable executive, noticed he was appealing on the air and contacted him about a cabletelevision show. mmmimmmitmtmmmmmimmmtm It will be called "Captain Shipwreck and the CableKids" and will feature Balcom both as a sea captain and as Blumbo. Initially, however, he will not bepaid for this endeavor. If it is syndicated by other cable stations . and begins to pay for itself, he willget a salary. "If I'm enjoying the show and I can make a living, then I'll work for free for quite awhile," hesaid. "I won't work for free if the cable company is making money off my show." Balcom said he initiallywas attracted to clowning when he became a Merry Maker clown for Children's Orthopedic Hospital inSeattle in the eighth grade. In high school he was the "Wacky Wabbit" for Herfy's. "I like to dress up incostumes and be crazy," he explained. "It allows you to do crazy things and be accepted.Psychologically, I guess it's the attention that attracts me." While Balcom admits he tries to makepeople smile and have fun, some of his techniques have a serious message within them. "Skadizzle."Balcom created this word to mean "the magic of making people smile." He said merely saying the wordforces people's mouths into a smile. Often kids and adults must say this word to get their balloonanimal. He sells a T-shirt with the message "I've got Skadizzle" on the back and the symbol for thisphraseâ€”a dandelion. "The dandelion is a common flower that everyone sees as a weed," he said. "Butnature made these flowers for everyone to see and appreciate." With every T-shirt, people are given asheet explaining the magic of skadizzle and the importance of appreciating the world around them.Sometimes it's not easy to be a clown. It takes two hours just to put on make-up and get intocostume. This means waking up at four or five in the morning for early jobs. "The main hurdle isgetting the make-up on. Then the positive reaction from the people works as its own medicine to perkme up." Balcom is very protective of Blumbo's image and is cautious about how kids see him. He saidno clown should smoke, drink or swear in costume. "You are an image-maker for kids, so you can't doanything that presents a bad role model," he said. "Clowns traditionally have a clean-cut image. You are the kind of character that's a hero for the kids." So, when Blumbo's upset, the strongest words comingfrom him are "shucky darns." Balcom's plans are just beginning. Already in the works are BlumboColoring Books, children's books, radio promotions and even a recreation facility. His dreams stillraise the eyebrows of his friends but maybe now their disbelief has been shadowed by his proof. Fornow, one need only listen to the words of his answering machine to hear what he's up to. "This isBlumbo. I'm gone again. But, what can I say, they pay me to play."

For the third year, the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics will host its national meet in Charleston. Allen James, ColinPeters, Kurt Hanson, Rick Buckenmeyer and Mike Dubuc will represent Western. "They all have agood chance of placing and should be good representatives," Coach Ralph Vernacchia said. The schoolhad the option of sending five additional entries who had not qualified (met the national time ordistance). But because of the expense, about $750 to $1,000 per person, Vernacchia said no additionalpeople will attend. ALLEN JAMES James is the only previous national meet contestant from Western'smen's group. Last year he placed fifth in the 10,000- meter racewalk, receiving Allâ€”American ratings.Currently he is ranked fourth in the NAIA. One week ago, James won his second district title. Hispersonal best has improved one minute. Making the top three at nationals and breaking the schoolrecord (46:50) are James' goals. He has been swimming daily, visiting the training room regularly anddoing two daily walk workouts. The business major is a 1982 Shorecrest High School (Seattle) graduate.He has two years of track eligibility left. An athlete cannot participate more than fouryears in college.COLIN PETERS "I want to break 49 minutes and be an All-American," racewalker Peters said. This isthe last meet for Peters who graduates in June. The economics/accounting major is completing hisfourth season of track as well as cross-country, at Western. Currently he is ranked fifth, one slot behindJames. He has raced in Seattle where many of the nation's best racewalking judges reside. Last yearPeters was a runner-up in district competition. Peters is a 1979 graduate of Anacortes High School.KURT HANSON The 20-year-old high jumper is ranked tenth nationally. His personal best is 6 feet, 10V4 inches, which he recorded at the Viking Twilight Meet. Hanson finished second at district with a 6-foot7-inch jump. At Femdale High School, Hanson, a 1981 graduate, competed in all of the jumping eventsincluding the triple jump, the long jump and the high jump. Hanson also was a member of the 440 relayteam that set the current school record (43.1). Jumping at nationals will start at 6-8 or possibly 6-10,Vernacchia predicted. A number of the approximately 20 competitors jump over 7 feet. Hanson said he jumped 6-10 in practice and attempted 7-0 and 7-2. Hanson is undeclared in his major and has twoyears of eligibility left. RICK BUCKENMEYER Buckenmeyer has improved since last year. Thesteeplechase competitor finished fifth last year. This year he won. Nationally, he is ranked sixth.Buckenmeyer has been described by his mother as a perfectionist. "He is a hard worker at whatever hedoes," she said. At local Mount Baker High School, Buckenmeyer competed in cross country andwas the 1979 county champion in the two-mile. He has completed fouryears of cross country at Western, but has one year of track eligibility left. MIKE DUBUC "Dubuc was a high-point scorer at district,"Vernacchia said. Competing in his first marathon, Dubuc won and then placed second in the 10,000meters. He had placed third the last two years. Dubuc is a physical education major graduating in June.He was graduated in 1980 from a Canadian high school. Star hoopsters return closer to home from CalBy Kris Franich JTwo Biola University women basketball players have decided to transfer to Westernnext fall, Coach Lynda Goodrich said. Biola University reached the National Association intercollegiate Athletics National tournament last winter. Carmen Dolfo and Lisa Terry are from British Columbia and have attended the California university for two years. Goodrich said, "It was a very pleasant surprise(that the two are transferring) and that's an understatement. I got a letter from Carmen's father and visited with Carmen and Lisa during spring break. Their reasons for deciding to go to school here were wanting to play more than one sport/ being closer to home and our academic offerings." Dolfo and Terry,however, won't be eligible for competition until they have attended school for 16 weeks. This means thetransfer students will be unable to play until mid-January, missing the first half of the season. Dolfoplans on playing volleyball and Terry may try out for soccer at Western. Dolfo, a 5-foot-l 1-inch forward, and 5-foot-8 Terry helped Biola to a second straight District III championship the Bi-District title and atrip to the national tournament in 1983-84.

Five two-partner teams vied for the coveted winner's circle in theFourth Annual Fischer Fountain Inner-Tube Race Friday in Red Square. The competition was sparse,but I knew it would be tough. Nash Hall's defending champions, Jennifer Frazier and Phil Logsden,returned for a second try. My partner, JefF "Legs" O'Brien and I were racing for Gamma. A teammember had to complete a course across the fountain and back through the 54-degree water. Uponreturning to the starting point, the partner repeated the course. The team with the fastest combined time would be named the proud winners. O'Brien and I were the fourth team to enter the water and give it atry. I bravely jumped in, wearing shorts and a special inner-tube racing sweatshirt emblazoned with myhall's name. Once my legs went numb, I was ready to sit in the tube. "Go!" shouted the starter. Ifrantically began paddling as my seven fans cheered. I'm not much of a swimmer, but I made it all theway across the fountain before my arms began to fall off. Hypothermia was setting in. O'Brien, whose 6-foot-6-inch body basically was not built for inner-tube racing in two feet of water, got off to a good startafter I limply floated to the end of my leg of the race. His arms and legs flailing wildy, he cruised in tofinish our heat in a mediocre one minute and 30 seconds.

This desire ledhim to the trumpet and then to Western as a music education and music performance major. This year Green has been named the Presser Scholar for 1985. The scholarship is presented each spring to theoutstanding junior or senior music major. Excellence in music performance, academic success,service to the department and the scholar's potential "Music is a creative outlet for a lot of people. Ifyou can have a good time at it and other people can enjoy it also, then that's what counts." â€” VincentGreen for success in the music profession are criteria for the award. Wayne Gorder of the musicdepartment said the award is significant. "Vince is highly dedicated. He makes a real contribution tothe department," he said. Green said he couldn't pinpoint why he chose music and playing the trumpetas his profession, except, to say, "When I was younger, I always wanted to build or create something. Alot of my family are artists, this is where I got the desire to create, and my outlet became music." Green plays the principal chair in the Western Wind Ensemble, the Western Symphony and "the WesternSymphonic Band. He also plays in jazz bands and composes for small brass groups. "In jazz, thechallenge is expressing your feelings through improvisation," he said, "whereas classical music you tryand follow what the composer has written and still add a personal interpretation to the piece." He saidhis preference for classical music is one of feeling, which is important to consider when playing aparticular brand of music. He said he is more comfortable playing classical music. "Vince plays legatowell," Gorder said, explaining legato is the ability to play softly and delicately. "He has a uniquecharacteristic of playing softly," he added. "It's his strongest aspect of playing." Green agreed. He saidlegato seems easier to play than other styles, but added, "Mainly I'm trying to play all the different stylesof trumpet." He said he has involved himself in all facets of music department performances to help staywell-rounded. Green said he believes music students are fortunate. "The music faculty here isexceptional," he said, adding it was the main reason he chose Western. When he graduates, his goal isto pursue a master's degree so he can teach at the college level. He added he hasn't ruled outprofessional performing. If a nice offer comes by, he said, he'd take it. "Music is a creative outlet for a lotof people," he continued. "If you can have a good time at it and other people can enjoy it also, then that'swhat counts." Green will perform a Telemann concerto for the piccolo/trumpet (a smaller and higher-pitched trumpet) at 8 p.m. next Tuesday in the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall. He will beaccompanied by Western's string orchestra. Western's full orchestra also will play Tchaikovsky'sfourth symphony, and student Jeff Andersen will play a Greig piano concerto.

Draft-dodger bill takes officials by surprise By LLOYD PRITCHETT The U.S.Senate's passage of a bill that would deny student aid to draft-evaders caught local officials by surpriselast week. The measure, passed unanimously by the Senate, has been leery Draft foes of Senatemeasure By ELAYNE ANDERSON A U.S. Senate bill denying financial aid to young men who have notregistered for the draft has been coldly received by local opponents of Selective Service sign-up. ButWilliam Scott, president of the Whatcom County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, saidalthough he had not heard about the bill, it seems Congress has the right to set "ground rules." "It isalso a question of due process," Scott added. Howard Harris of the anthropology department and amember of Whatcom Draft Information and Referral, said the bill would make conscientiousobjecting more difficult for those who have not registered. Harris said he is considering reactivating thegroup, which in the past counseled young men uncertain whether to register for the draft. He said thegroup never urged anyone not to register, but only informed them of all the options. "I'm in totalsympathy with those who don't register," Harris said, "but it's a dangerous position." In 1940, Harrissaid, he registered as a conscientious objector. "Now I might not register," Harris said. "I don'tknow." A man should think in advance about registering, Harris said, because he only has 10 daysafter receiving his draft notice to claim he is a conscientious objector. "If you haven't thought about itby then," Harris said, "you will have a hard time convincing anyone." Scott said the bill would be"punishing conscience." "I suppose you could make a civil liberties case of it." Scott said. "Of coursethis is all speculation." __ hailed by conservatives and moderates alike as an effective means offorcing thousands of reluctant students to register for the military draft. Only U.S. House approval and President Reagan's signature are needed to pass the bill into law. But local draft board members andWestern financial aid administrators had little to say about the measure, citing limited informationabout it. One local draft board member, Bellingham Police Chief Terry Mangan, said he had not evenseen the bill, adding he felt it would be "inappropriate to comment on a bill I haven't read." Westernpolitical science professor Gerard Rutan, another local draft board member, could not be reached forcomment on the measure, but it is his practice not to discuss draft-related matters with The Front.Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Selective Service System's West Coast headquarters in SanFrancisco said his office had made no estimate of the number of draft-defying college students whomight lose financial aid if the Senate bill becomes law. Such figures might be developed by early nextmonth, however, the spokesman added. Statistics released in February by the state Selective ServiceSystem showed some 59 percent of the estimated number of draft-eligible males in Whatcom Countyhad not signed up for registration. If those figures still are valid, hundreds of Western students couldlose their eligibility for basic grants, supplemental grants, direct student loans and other forms of federalfinancial aid with the Senate bill. But John Hay of the draft system's Seattle office earlier said the lowregistration figures might be exaggerated because many draft-age Western students might beregistering in other counties. Western Financial Aid Director Wayne Sparks said he could make noestimate of how many students might be denied student aid as a result of the Senate measure. But headded he could see few technical problems with invoking the bill, "depending, of course, on how thefederal government decided to implement the rule." Sparks said the simplest way of enforcing a ban onstudent aid to draft-resisters would be for students to sign a form certifying they have registered for the draft. "It (the law) would be pretty -easy to .administer that way-,'" he said, but added the government(continued on page 2) Terry Mangan: 'Inappropriate to comment Paddy wagon greets Sunrise Kegrevelers By DAN BOYLE Whatcom and Skagit County sheriffs were successful in keeping eagerSunrise VII advocates from invading Clayton Beach last Saturday. At 6 a.m., the official "tapping" timeof the previous six Sunrise Kegs, only one person was on the beach. He picked up a stick of driftwood,climbed up a sand dune and pressed into the firm sand the words, "Sunrise Seven?" Up on ChuckanutDrive where the trail to Clayton Beach begins, two sheriffs' cars and a paddy wagon awaited anystudents who dared not heed the warnings to stay out. Whatcom County sheriff deputies beganpatrolling the Clayton Beach area last Friday night, a deputy spokesman said. Only a small number ofpeople tried to gain access to the beach, he said, and very few citations for parking and illegalpossession of alcohol were written. Tougher residency rules make debut this summer By HEIDIFEDORE It will be tougher for non-residents of Washington state to obtain resident status â€” and lowertuition rates at Western â€” with the terms of a bill passed during the 1982 session of the stateLegislature. The bill states that non-residents must prove they plan to make Washington their permanenthome by living here for one year before applying for residency. Although that aspect of the bill always has existed, a more austere regulation has been added, said Richard Riehl, director of admissions. StartingJune 1, when the bill becomes effective, students must be financially independent from their parents. This would not apply, however, if the parents were to become Washington residents: Riehl said he does notknow what effect the bill will have on already-declining enrollment at Western. Currently, out-of-statestudents encompass 5 percent of Western's enrollment. "The out-of-state students here this year mayhave planned to apply for residency for next year," Riehl said. "It's hard to tell whether they'll continueattending or not." Riehl explained that it's difficult to project any results of a bill until it takes effect."We'll have to wait to find out whether enrollment will drop because of this." "Historically," Riehl said,"Washington colleges had a high percentage of in-state attendance." "There were no major violations," he added. One student said being denied access to Clayton Beach on this day was like getting nopresents for Christmas. Even with the empty beach and the sheriffs patrolling the area, the Sunrise Kegstill did not die completely. Nearly 80 people celebrated the tradition in two new locations north ofClayton Beach.- Many of the original founders of the Sunrise Keg celebrated the day on three boats offTeddy Bear Cove. Forty people celebrated there with three kegs and a hot tub. Near Tunnel Cove north of Lar-rabee State Park, nearly 30 students celebrated the day on a bay cliff with two kegs. Members of the Teddy Bear Cove party agreed to transport the other party to their boats, but the day's cliff dwellersrefused. "We know how to celebrate the spirit of Sunrise just as well as them," one student said. Thecelebration on the cliff came to an abrupt end at noon, however, when one student fell off the cliff andfractured his jaw bone. Paramedics quickly arrived. Some traditions are hard to break, no matter whatthe opposition. Still, Sunrise VII could not compare to the 3,000 people who drank 81 kegs of beer last year. ---------- Western Front - 1982 May 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1982 Ex-union chief recaps AFT's 13-year history By LORIMcGRIFF Political science professor Eugene Hogan's often-controversial reign as local president ofthe American Federation of Teachers has come to an end. But Hogan declined to elaborate on why hechose not to seek reelection this year. His successor, Milt Krieger of the liberal studies department,was elected May 7. "It was time," Hogan said of his decision, adding he had served two years, both ofwhich were active ones for the AFT. He chose not to discuss further. The union, which sprung up oncampus in 1969, continually attempts to provide a point of view that stresses education and facultyrights on campus, Hogan said. Hogan said that, during his term, the AFT was in the public spotlightconsiderably more than in the past because of strong moves to influence the state Legislature.Campaigns the union was involved in were a petition drive on campus to allow four-year faculty to enter into collective bargaining agreements, the Save Our Colleges Campaign and several rallies. Thepresident of the local is expected to provide leadership on campus when it is needed and to representthe AFT executive board, Hogan said. The union works closely with students and attempts to work withclassified staff and administrators, Hogan said, adding that the union is committed to defending Western. One of the major things wrong with 'Western, Hogan said, is the university does not have a unifiedfaculty voice. Hogan became a member of the AFT in 1969, the same year he joined Western's faculty.The AFTattempts to "speak out with an independent voice and contribute to the public dialogue," Hogansaid. He said he could not offer any advice to his successor and criticism from union outsiders ormembers did not contribute to his decision not to run. Because of the time-consuming nature of the job,Hogan said he had served as long as he could. Hogan has become a visible figure during the pastschool year as one of the leaders of the effort to stop the Legislature's slaughter of higher education.High seas washed this smiling coed to the shores of Fisher Fountain last week while she enjoyed herselfduring a white-water inner-tube race. Reagan scrutinized this week By LORI SIMONSON The philosophy of the Reagan administration will be dissected in a series of programs starting tonight and runningthrough Friday. The purpose of these programs is to inform people of the Reagan philosophy and itsapplications, especially its impact on education and social services in general, said Milt Krieger of theliberal studies department, one of the series organizers. It has been a period of substantial cutbacks and withdrawal of student loans and programs. All of this has made access to education tougherKrieger said, so most of the viewpoints represented will be critical. Dennis Murphy of the economicsdepartment, however, will defend Reagan's policies tonight.

Beletz and Foisy will be joined by a panel of non-traditionalstudents, who will discuss the special problems caused for them through cuts in higher education. Acoalition of students, faculty and staff will discuss the effects of budget cuts on the university at noonThursday in L-3. Wrapping up the programs will be Swift speaking on the federal budget, and CharlesFox of the political science department talking about the "Political Economy of Reaganomics" at 7p.m. Friday in L-4.

Standards raised; enrollment to drop By MARC HEBERDEN Fall enrollment at Western will drop morethan 6 percent from this year's level if projections based on the spring application rate prove accurate..Western officials say they are hoping those figures materialize to match reduced faculty and staff levels. A certain result of the enrollment decline will be a corresponding decrease in Service and Activi-Richard Riehl ties fees. About $60 of each student's quarterly tuition goes into S A fees, which are used to finance student activities and organizations, ranging from AS programs to interscholastic athleticsto certain projects within the Housing and Dining System. AS President-elect Mark Murphy said duringhis campaign he hopes to encourage student programs to find ways to generate more of their ownrevenue next year to help offset the funding declines. A 6 percent decrease in enrollment would resultin a reduction of more than $100,000 in S A fees. According to figures presented at the April 27 meeting of the Academic Coordinating Commission by Director of Admissions Richard Riehl, about 9,700students will start classes next fall. This figure, down about 600 students from last fall, is based ona need to decrease an average of 22 students for each of the 30 faculty members laid off in this year'sReduction In Force. Imposition of a $15 registration fee and raising the admission stan-dart to a 2.7 GPA for freshman and to 2.3 from 2.0 for transfers were actions taken by Western to slow the applicationrate. Although officials now can only guess at the eventual admission level, Riehl has received reportsfrom high school counselors indicating that students are now preselecting more, and making earlierserious college commitments. This has led to optimism about the projected figures, Riehl said,because students no longer are using mass-mailing application techniques. One result of the newrestrictions and subsequent applicant pre-selection has been to raise the overall applicant acceptance level at Western to 81 from 77 percent. In response to questions concerning a return to the lowerGPA admission standard, Riehl said in the past about 10 percent of admissions fell between 2.5 and2.7. Riehl said he feels the higher figure reflects well on the school and a return to the lower figuremight leave impressions that administrators would lower standards to get more students. Noting thedropping enrollment levels in colleges and an increasing tendency by students to look for alternativepost-secondary educations, Riehl said he anticipates increasing competition among colleges. Riehlsaid the school that has built a reputation for quality will be in the better position. Draft bill takes localofficials by surprise (continued from page 1) may be reluctant to rely "on the honesty of the signer." Ifthat were the case, the student aid certification process "could be made a lot more stringent," Sparkssaid. The financial aid director speculated that enforcement of the Senate bill "probably would nothappen before the start of the next school year," even if it is signed into law soon. "But that's just aguess," he said. He added that the Senate mea sure could be implemented in the middle of the schoolyear, but that its provisions would not necessarily be retroactive. The financial aid-cutting bill was co-sponsored by U.S. Senators S.I. Hayakawa (R-Calif.) and Mack Mattingly (R-Ga.). "With rights andbenefits come responsibilities," Hayakawa was quoted as saying in recommending approval of the bill,which was passed by a unanimous voice vote of the Senate. ---------- Western Front - 1982 May 18 - Page 3 ---------- TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1982 WESTERN FRONT 3 Hourglass running low on WSL By ERIC DANIELSONELLENSBURG â€” Time is quickly running out for the Washington Student Lobby petition drives at two schools, it became clear Sunday at Central Washington University. Representatives from TheEvergreen State College and the University of Washington, reporting to the Washington Association ofUniversity Students, said their schools were 300 to 7,000 signatures short of ratification, respectively. At the same meeting, UW Student President Donna Christensen made known her opposition to aproposal by Western Graduate Student Union President Rich Walsh to provide a seat on the WSLBoard for Western graduate students. In the current tentative plan, only the UW and WashingtonState University would receive graduate seats. "Our steering committee is really burned out,"Christensen said. "We have no money and we need to finish it (the petition drive) within the next twoweeks." Christensen asked for volunteers to travel from other campuses in the next few weeks to helpgather signatures. She also requested $ l ,000 from W AUS to finance the rest of the campaign. Sherevealed that the UW steering committee already has spent $4,000 on their WSL petition drive and half the money already spent came from WAUS. Besides the great amount of funds spent by the U W in its campaign, other WSL leaders were startled to hear that WSL workers have been receiving pay. "Wewere successful in hiring people to man tables and paying people to gather signatures," Christensensaid. "If we didn't pay people, we wouldn't have gotten any signatures. The volunteers just aren't there,they're not reliable." Another $1,000 would allow them to pay people for the next few weeks and putthem over the top, she said. The WAUS board agreed to this, citing the importance of the UW'sinvolvement in the WSL. In contrast to the UW's swallowing of funds, an Evergreen representative askedfor $400 to pay people to verify their signatures and cover campaign costs. Evergreen's solerepresentative at the meeting also made a desperate request for volunteers to visit her campus andpetition. "Things at Evergreen are pretty bad," Connie Gray said. "I'm not getting any help from anybodyat all. I need help; I can't do it." Spring quarter at Evergreen ends June 4. In response to Walsh's request for a Western graduate student seat on the WSL Board, WAUS President Parker Trewant said itwould be possible. "Our current position is that a seat is available for each school with a viablegraduate organization," Trewant said. Representatives from the UW, who along with WSU, now sharea monopoly on graduate representation, were opposed to Western's proposal. Besides Western,only WSU and Central have ratified the WSL. According to the WSL timeline, the petition drives must be completed by the end of May so that organizing can be accomplished during the summer, allowingfee-collection to begin fall quarter. The University of Washington apparently needs more than the efforts of Western AS president Greg Sobel to collect the signatures needed to ratify membership in theWashington Student Lobby. As of Sunday, the UW was 7,000 signatures short. w South Africa subject of film Educator and film distributor David Mesenbring is featured in a two-hour lecture/discussion onSouth African history and nationalism presented at 1 p.m. tomorrow in the VU Lounge.

County auditor dismisses campus voting-booth plan Deadline approaches for study inEurope For students with a yen to learn about London, stumble around Avignon or cruise Cologne, thedeadline for application for fall quarter foreign studies is June I. Art Kimmel, director of foreign studies,said the French program in Avignon often is filled for the entire year by June 1. "A number of studentswho wanted to go to Avignon last year lost out. They waited too long," Kimmel said. Next year's pricesfor the European program will remain the same as they are this year. Students pay $115 deposit whenthey apply. $106 is refundable. This summer, Western will offer a program for students from Mexico.Last summer, eight Mexican students arriving on campus came as somewhat of a surprise, and aprogram hastily was designed for them, Kimmel said. "Those eight students went back so gung-ho about Bellingham, we expect 20 this year," Kimmel said. Students whose parents live in or near Bellinghamwho would like to host a Mexican student in their homes can avail themselves of a reciprocalagreement whenthey study in Mexico. Students can recover $5 of the $8 paid daily for housing in Mexicowhen their parents house a Mexican student. Western's Mexican studies program is unusual because itinvolves an exchange of services. Students work as volunteers teaching English in the provincial prison,for example. . .., â€ž "We try to help the Mexican people in exchange for their hospitality, Kimmel said.Hope for establishing either a separate county precinct comprised of Western's campus or a pollingplace at the Viking Union Building has been dashed by Whatcom County Auditor Joan Ogden. "It wouldnot be feasible at this time to set up a precinct on campus for students only," Ogden said in a letter toAssociated Students Vice President for External Affairs Jamie Beletz. In the letter, dated May 3, Ogden explained the location of KUGS radio and newspaper vending machines in the Viking Union make it a"less than desirable polling place." She also said the Viking Union includes too many entrancesmaking it a security risk. Beletz responded Ogden was mistaken in assuming the campus pollingstation would be in the VU Lounge. He said that the planned location is in Viking Addition's SasquatchRoom, which has only two entrances. Polling stations at the Maple Street Fire Hall and Sehome HighSchool are, in Ogden's opinion, close enough for students living on campus. "Students will be treatedthe same as anyone else," Ogden said. The only recourse the auditor gave Western was to circulate apetition to see how many students really care about having their own polling place. But Beletz said theyalso can appeal to the Washington Secretary of State. The issue first arose in January, when ASPresident Greg Sobel proposed to the city council that, lines be redrawn so the campus would fall within a single precinct. The city council tabled the measure amid claims that insufficient time had beenallowed to publicly debate the issues. Student leaders have said the on-campus booth is necessary toincrease student-voter turnout this fall. I ON YS The Finest Fresh Roasted Coffee Traditional HerbalTeas Now Featuring Bill Davidson Sat.

Olscamp's speech to faculty and staff was a gloomy forecast of morecutbacks at Western and other state universities. While it was depressing, the announcement was notsurprising. The state's financial condition continues to be perilous at best. Olscamp predicted that futureslashes of Western's budget could ignite wholesale layoffs of faculty and staff and eliminate entireprograms and departments. That joyless prophecy was not mitigated by Olscamp's foolhardy assertion that any plans to wipe out whole departments should be concocted under a cloak of secrecy. Attempting to rationalize this bit of nonsense, he said naming programs earmarked for elimination "would do greatharm to them." Students would avoid programs and departments known to be on the chopping block, hesaid. That is a logical excuse for secrecy. But it also is demonstrably unfair to students. We thinkstudents considering a major are entitled to know whether their program could be axed halfway throughtheir career at Western. Allowing students to unknowingly enter a program that has an appointment withdoom is condemning them to the chaotic hell of changing majors in mid-stream. Masking plans to cutwhole departments shows an appalling lack of regard for students on the part of Western's topadministrators. They should be trying to ensure we are provided educational opportunities free ofunnecessary disturbances. This is doubly true when one considers the ungodly tuition rates studentsnow must pay. , Western's administrationâ€”- especially Olscamp â€” often pridefully point to theuniversity's "open governance" system. They seem to consider it a microcosm of democracy. Suchpretentions are nothing more than hypocrisy when Olscamp calls for clandestine plotting with devastatingimplications for students. He seems to think that what we don't know can't hurt us. And in a speechlaced with dire prophecies, that is the most disheartening of all. Financial aid evasion shows Senatesnobbery Our leaders in Washington, D.C., finally have formulated what they believe is a suitablepunishment for draft evaders, and it reeks. Last week the Senate voted unanimously to deny federalfinancial aid to students who have not registered for the draft. Whether or not those who refuse to register should be punished is only part of the question. This type of restriction is blatantly discriminatory. If this proposal becomes law, draft resistance will become another "privilege" in the United States reserved forthe rich. Plainly as long as an evader can afford to pay his own way through college, his non-cooperation will go unpunished. But if a conscientious lower-class lad finds the draft reprehensible, he effectively will be excluded from going to college. This entire mess only highlights how unfair and unworkable thecurrent Selective Service system is. If national service is to be required, it should be required of everyone, not just those too poor to avoid it. And it is an abomination that people in a supposedly free societyshould be forced to do something they find morally abhorrent. Ways of fulfilling the draft requirement other than military service must be formulated and publicized. It is suicidal to continue to dub pacifism as"un-American." This country needs laborers in peaceful projects just as much as we need warriors, ifnot more so. Drop kick 'liberals' who dumped football The narrow-minded gang who targeted footballplayers as scapegoats for Western's complex funding difficulties have succeeded. With the team'srecruiting program virtually smashed against the rocks, and the squad's future in doubt, those victoriouscan relax, assured of a contract well-executed. But the tragedy for the rest of us has just begun. Withthe passage of Referendum 2 in this year's Associated Student election, a capricious andthoughtless majority has decimated the rights of 55 students who play football. It can, and probably will,happen again. Perhaps next time it will be vengeful ex-football players, lashing out at a favorite projectof the Associated Students. Maybe it will be enemies of this newspaper, who do not agree with what weprint. Or it might not be students at all, but administrators, who deem Fairhaven College's time to havecome and gone. Or maybe it will be something in which you are involved. Many of those who voted todrop football no doubt see themselves as "liberal" and "open-minded." Some probably soothed theirconsciences by recalling that football is "violent," or "expensive" or some other nice little catch-allterm. But the real reason is that football was 0-10 last season. Students who voted to drop itdemonstrated about as much open-mindedness as does a Nazi for a Jew. Devoid of rational information,they acted like a ruthless pack of majoritarian wolves, deciding to chew first and ask questions later.Mitch Evich The Associated Students (who, incidentally, we have to thank for keep-ing the measure onthe ballot after its initiator, Dan Vossen, demanded its removal) did nothing to cut through the haze ofhalf-truths and full-lies surrounding the issue. Attempting to provide an objective pro-con description ofthe issue, AS newsletter Ascent stated "If S A funding is cut, the program might still attempt toraise funds through other means." Like what? Car washes and bake sales? Ascent's list of arguments to drop football was equally specious. It claimed football's budget is large in relation to studentparticipation, which anyone familiar with the costs of extracurricular activities knows is not true.Ascent also pointed out that football "discriminates" against women, which must mean that volleyballdiscriminates against men. In general, the Associated Students treated football like the murderer who refused to admit he killed his victim: he didn't kill him, he only permanently cut off his oxygen. Footballstill may be saved, however, if the Associated Students has the guts to realize the heinous precedentthe referendum has set. The outcome of the vote serves only as an advisory to the AS board, and it ishoped they have the good sense to ignore it. It is particularly imperative that AS President-elect MarkMurphy take an unwavering stand on the issue and put an end to the div-isiveness it has created. If hedoes not, the AS board next year might find itself arguing an embarrassingly illogical case against thetrustees under the misnomer of "students' rights." It also will alienate a considerable segment ofstudents who do not agree with arbitrary program-elimination. The ramifications of the football referendum must be prevented. Otherwise, we might as well prepare ourselves for the coming of budgetary mob-rule.

Ifor one was appalled by the lack of research done on the nature of the contest, and more importantly, on the rules governing the outcome of the competition. While the Mathes Go-Go's did resemble the realgroup, choreography and realism accounted for a mere 20 percent of the voting. "Kiss" did havefantastic make-up and costumes, but that, too, was allotted only 20 out of possible 100 points. The"meat" of the contest was based on the ability to lip-sync the words and re-enact the playing ofinstruments. This was the last 60 percent of the voting. Being able to strum an invisible guitar or keepones arms going to the beat would not have been enough to surpass these judges, one of which is aprofessional lead guitarist and another a local disc jockey.

Edward II isn't an 'offbeat' play Western Front: The play "Edward II" by Christopher Marloweis a play about power and how it is used. Although the "homosexual relationship" of the King andGaveston is a part of it, it certainly is not the focus of the play. The article "Offbeat Edward II" by DonJenkins stressed only the sexuality of the play. Had it been a "heterosexual" play, would the lover'srelationships have been so played up by Jenkins? I was amazed the play was interpreted as "offbeat."Just what does offbeat mean? Unconventional? What then is conventional? The dictionary says itmeans following general usage. Mason stayed within the framework of the play. The "homosexuality"wasn't played up. Take a second look, Jenkins. â€” Colleen Snananan â€” Beth Wood New Red Scare from musty past Western Front: People have said we face a threat from the Soviet Union. Well to me,that sounds very traditional. But this nation is made up of millions of individuals whose opinions of theSoviet Union vary to the extremes and everything in between. I can say that when I walked to the parkthe other day, I did not feel threatened by the Soviet Union. When you go to the park, do you feelthreatened by the Soviet Union? I hope not. Or perhaps you are like a few people I know who are thankful â€” thankful that daddy is protecting them. Expressions such as "they fought and died for their country"seem to be designed for the type of person who feels that, upon his arrival in heaven, God will be pattinghim on the back and saying, "That a boy. Way to nepalm those babies.". "United we stand, divided wefall," seems to me to be a pre-nuclear idea. But with Ronald Reagan so richly blessing us with thingssuch as atomic bombs, I would say we had best turn that around to say,"United the world stands,divided it falls, maybe permanently." And yet perhaps you are an upper-cruster who lives on snob hilland feels that what it takes to preserve your freedom is a good old-fashioned war. With little bombsinstead of big ones.

According to one, a consortium of wealthy Canadians is buyingup all the off-campus rental housing near the university in an effort to fix rents. Another rumor claims that certain administrators in Western's admission office have bought up dozens of rentals and are settingenrollment quotas so that maximum rents can be charged. Through some quirk in human psychology, these student victims seem to take a small comfort in believing the worst about those they see as theirtormentors. So the rumors flourish, fueled by bitterness and the hardship more and more students arefeeling because of the deepening recession. For example, a recent Front survey found that anastonishing 98 percent of students living in four representative blocks northwest of campus had one ormore complaints about their housing. Run-down dumps According to the study, detailed in the May 11edition of The Front, 50 percent of the student-tenants surveyed said they, had problems with theirplumbing and insulation, while nearly one in three had inadequate housing. In addition, one in every fivestudents surveyed had experienced problems with bugs and rodents, and 35 percent complained of"funny smells." And some imaginative students forced to live without heat and hot water swear that ahandful of slumlords dominates the local housing market, setting rents at levels that force the tenants tochoose between food and fuel. Although the stories repeatedly are denounced as scandalous lies,they continue to spread, and even flourish. It is not hard to see why. Off-campus housing in Bellinghamlong has been a seller's market. Thousands of students converge on the city a few days before classesbegin, and, in the rush, they are happy to find any housing they can afford. But in November, when thelights and heat will not work and wind whistles through the windows, their homes begin to look like run-down dumps. But not all of the housing is: of such poor quality. Next to the converted garages withbacked-up toilets and hordes of cockroaches, luxury apartments with wrought iron balconies and royalblue shag carpeting jut into the sky. It is a curious blend of Baltic Avenue and Boardwalk. The holders ofmany of the property titles are a mysterious lot that few renters ever see, operating through realtors andproperty management firms. Rampant rumors In an effort to learn more about the owners of theserentals, a team of Western journalism students recently researched the Whatcom County propertyassessment records for those areas directly adjacent to the university campus. The aim of the team was to find out how much of the housing around Western is rented, and to learn as much as possible aboutthe people who own it â€” either verifying the rampant rumors or deflating them. What the team foundwas in many ways surprising. For the purposes of the study, the researchers concentrated on aroughly crescent- shaped area to the west and north of Western containing some 1,261 houses andapartments. The map below shows the exact area. To find out how many of the dwellings in the studyarea were rental housing, the team compared property addresses with owners' mailing addresses. If theywere different, it was assumed the property was a rental. Rentals then were divided into single-unithouses, apartments and multi-unit dwellings BELLINGHAM where the landlord lives on the premises. Afourth category was added for owners who listed a post office box. Condominiums were excluded fromthe study. For the area as a whole, the largest housing group proved to be single-unit homes ownedby the residents. This group comprised 606 housing units, or 48 percent of the total. Next mostcommon are the area's 443 single-unit rentals, which make up 35 percent of the housing. The 110multi-unit rentals, including apartments and duplexes, comprised 9 percent of the total. Another 8percent of owners listed a post office box. The 100 homes in this category are centered in neighborhoods with a high percentage of single-unit homes with owners living at the same address. More interestingthan the totals, however, is the distribution of the rental housing, including the infamous "student slums"of Bellingham. Comprising 44 percent of the total sample, the rentals are concentrated into district sub-areas of the main study region. For instance, in the area between Western and downtown Bellingham,the researchers found that rentals comprise a hefty 67 percent of the residences. Single-unit rentals,the largest category, make up 50 percent of the housing in this area. An additional 17 percent of therentals are apartments and duplexes. In contrast, the Sunset Heights and College Heights areas,nestled among the trees of southwest Sehome Hill, contained only 11 percent rentals â€” all of which aresingle-unit dwellings. No Canadian monopoly Northeast Sehome Hill is a more representative region.Here, 46 percent of the dwellings are single-unit rentals and 9 percent are multiple-unit rentals. Havingascertained the obvious â€” that the hills around Western are saturated with rental housing â€” theresearch team then went in search of the not-so-obvious. The team wanted to learn who owns all theserentals and whether any truth existed to the rumors. The "Canadian consortium" story was the first to be debunked. Of the 553 rentals, only 15 have owners with a Canadian address. Most of these addressesare in towns and cities of the lower mainland of British Columbia. 'Admissions office conspiracy' Infact, the research team found that an overwhelming majority â€” some 67 percent â€” of the rentalhousing is owned by Bellingham residents, most of whom own only one house or apartment building.In addition, the six owners with the most rentals all list Bellingham addresses. The six own a total of 37units. Two businesses in the area, St. Luke's Hospital and KVOS-TV, each own four single-unitdwellings. St. Luke's also has one multiple-unit, while KVOS lists two. Of the 33 percent of the ownersfrom outside Bellingham, the largest faction lives in Seattle. Emerald City residents own some 82rental units. Other cities and states with light concentrations of rental owners include Everett with 14units, Walla Walla with 8, Colorado with 10, California with 7 and Bellevue with 6. Mount Vernonresidents own 8 units. Single-unit owners also come from as far away as New York, Japan, Virginia andTexas. In addition, the research team found the "admissions office conspiracy" rumor to be totally false.But they did discover how the myth might have gotten started. In the entire study area, 16 units areowned by Western faculty, staff and administrators or their spouses. Of these, one is owned by thehusband of an admissions office employee. From this acorn of truth, the researchers hypothesized, theoak of falsehood might have grown. (Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles aboutstudent housing in Bellingham.) Graph below shows percentage of rental housing available to Westernstudents in various neighborhoods north and west of campus (see map). Rentals include single-unitdwellings, duplexes and apartments.

But housing applications from new students dropped 16 percent, compared to the same timelast year. Guy said the housing office has received 1,326 applications from new students and willcontinue accepting them until fall quarter begins. The housing office already has been jammed withrequests for the campus apartments at Birnam Wood, Buchanan Towers and Fairhaven College. Almost all vacancies at the apartments have been filled, except for a few beds in the Fair-haven and BirnamWood complexes. Among the apartment requests, 126 applicants the housing office could not serve will have to settle for the residence halls, which were listed as their second choices, Guy said. The total of2,414 applications will fill 95 percent of all residence halls and leave 138 beds available. "I'm glad thatreturning students increased," Guy said. "We anticipate we can maintain the equal level ofoccupancies by next fall, even though new students' applications are low." The housing office will start mailing letters this week informing applicants to sign contracts for next year. Returning students mustpay a $30 damage deposit to confirm their reservations. Guy said returning students, rather than newstudents, will have priority if a residence hall is overfilled with applications. Based on the returningstudents' demand for residence halls next year, Ridgeway Alpha has the highest rate of applications tofill its capacity. The hall now is filled with 94 percent of its designed resident capacity. Ridgeway Sigma has the second highest rate, with 79 percent, followed by Ridgeway Beta with 62 percent. The allfemale Higginson Hall, shown here, has the lowest application rate of any dorm on campus. Only 18returning students have requested to live there next year. Guy said he thinks Ridgeway Alpha attractsmany students because the current all-women hall will become co-ed next year. Ridgeway Sigma alsois popular, Guy added, because it will house only upper-level students, excluding lower-level studentswho now live in the hall. Higginson Hall seems to be shunned by students. Only 18 students appliedfor the hall, filling 8 percent of its designed capacity." The hall became an all-women hall last year andnext year will be the only one on campus. Returning students' applications have hit the half-way markin Mathes and Nash Halls. Only 16 percent of Fairhaven's residence halls have been filled. Job seekerscan learn how to earn A Seattle-based career guidance counselor will be at Western presenting aneight-hour seminar on "The Hidden Job Market" beginning Thursday evening and continuing May 27. Dennis Buckmaster, who has appeared on the Seattle Today show and KVI-AM, said he will talk about "knowing yourself, knowing your market and marketing yourself." The seminar, sponsored by theAssociated Students Program Commission, is an abbreviated version of a 30-hour program offered tojob seekers as well as career changers by Career Development Services of Seattle. Buckmaster saidhe works "day in and out with people making career changes," helping them "capitalize on the best of all methods" for finding a job.

"You are notselling education, but intangibles," said Buckmaster, a former salesman. The workshop format willcombine lecture with group participation, he said, and participants will leave with a 32-pageworkbook with model resumes. Mary Ellin Robinson, Program Commission special events coordinator, said she decided to bring the seminar to Western because she wanted to learn alternative methods tofinding a job. She also will begin looking for work in five weeks and she said she thinks other people willbe job-hunting. The two, four-hour sessions cost $25. Robinson said some students told her the price isa little high, but she added "You just spent $300 for tuition, you can spend another $25 to help you find a job."

Chuck Page of theDepartment of Public Safety. Campus police are not intensifying reinforcement of current bicyclelaws but they are issuing more citations because people are "flagrantly" breaking the laws of the road,which apply to drivers and riders alike, he said. Bicycle laws require riders to obey stop signs, andreflectors and lights are mandatory equipment. Ignoring stop signs and equipment violations, each a$21 offense, constitute the majority of tickets security writes, he added. Reckless riding, particularlyon the narrow and often congested trails around campus, also is a major concern, he said. Last monththe department stopped 147 motorists and bike . riders, of which 75 received citations, he said. Tosubstantiate his claim of violation increases, Page said the department averages 60 to 75 warningsand tickets a month. Since last year, parking and security are separate offices. Motor vehicle trafficviolations â€” largely consisting of "California" stops, expired license tabs and using restricted HighStreet through campus, a $37 offense â€” also are depleting the department's supply of ticket books,he said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 May 18 - Page 8 ---------- 8 WESTERN FRONT Sports TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1982 Fore! Frisbee golf hits Western Kris Franich By MALCOLM LAWRENCE Of the 19 participants in Saturday's Intramural Festival Frisbee golf game,sponsored by Coors, 15 were not prepared for the expertise of the other four. That is because fourmembers of Western's ultimate Frisbee club, The Blue Wave, decided to try their Wizardry at the "golfgame." Phil Senese, Scott Smith, Tom Clifton and Chris Winn, all members of The Blue Wavedemonstrated impeccable handling skills with the Frisbee as they breezed through the nine-"hole" course that began and finished behind Carver Gym and included "holes" located at the Rock Steam sculptureand Arntzen Field. The other participants â€” consisisting of eight men and seven women, a handful ofwhich did not bother to finish all nine "holes" â€” had problems navigating the plastic discs through severe headwinds. Trees and bushes also served as obstacles to many of the players. Frisbee golf is playedsimilarly to regular golf, -with the exception of substituting Frisbees for balls and clubs. The Frisbee must be thrown from a given "teeing off" area and may hit any part of the flag, pole or cone to qualify formaking the shot. Speaking with Senese and Smith between shots, a description of ultimate Frisbee andthe specifics of the game unraveled. Apparently, the origins of ultimate Frisbee can be traced back to1967 at Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J. Seven players from each of the two teams areallowed on the grass playing field, which measures 60 yards by 40 yards with 30-yard-end zones.Substitutions can be made after each goal. Incorporating various elements of basketball and soccer, a player runs across the field to catch the Frisbee from another player, but must then stop and throw it toanother player. Smith describes the game as being very tiring: "You're either running on offense trying tocatch the Frisbee, or running on defense trying to block the Frisbee." Possession of the Frisbee is givenup when a member of one team intercepts it from the other team. Goals are scored by catching theFrisbee in the opponent's end zone for one point. Games are played until one team scores 15 points, and must win by at least two goals. Ultimate Frisbee clubs are not hard to find, with two teams each inSeattle, Portland, Eugene, Ore. Also in Oregon, Corvalis and Salem have clubs, and a plethora of teamsexist in California. Ultimate Frisbee also is worldwide with countries such as Japan and England sportingteams. Although The Blue Wave is only one month old, it has already played in two tournaments, winning one of seven games in the first, and two of four games in the second. In the Seattle area, tournamentsfrequently are played at Woodland Park but are not played for money. Senese, the founder of The BlueWave, indicated he is trying to reserve Arntzen Field this Saturday for a tournament with the Seattlemen's and women's teams. Approximately 30 players claim membership in The Blue Wave, with 15 orso active members, Senese said. With other clubs ages averaging between 25 and 28, The Blue Wave is very young with the members ranging from 18 to 22. Senese stressed that anybody can be a member of The Blue Wave and that all those interested should "just come to one of the practices" every Saturdayafternoon at Civic Field. Incidentally, the winners of the Frisbee golf team game were separated into bestmen's score and best woman's score. Vicki Swartz led the women with a score of 50, while Senese,Clifton, Winn and Smith caught the top four men's positions with 37,41,42 and 44 respectively. Swartzand Senese each won a tee-shirt for their efforts. Commenting on the strenuous craftmanship a Frisbee thrower must have, Senese said tongue-in-cheek that The Blue Wave is "basically a solid group ofathletes." W$$t^M mm Chris Winn takes aim during a practice round on Western's Frisbee golf course. By JEFF PRITCHARD Crew drift thoughts to next season Men's crew finished its season at theNorthwest Regional regatta on Green Lake May 8 and 9 and now is looking forward to see how well it willdo next season. "Next year we'll have a strong team," men's varsity heavyweight A oarsman Don Cainsaid about his team. "We have everyone coming back next year except for one guy who we've alreadyreplaced," he said. At the race on Seattle's Green Lake, a two-day event in which 16 crew teams rowed76 separate races, the men's freshman eight finished second with a time of 4:28.0 in front of PacificLutheran University and Lewis and Clark College. The University of Washington was the top finisher in the race. In other races, the men's lightweight eight finished third, beating PLU, the University of BritishColumbia and the University of Oregon. The UW finished first. The men's JV eight rowed fourth over theUniversity of Puget Sound with a time of 4:30.7. Again the UW finished first. The men's lightweight fourstreaked past the UW, however, in a race that also put them in front of PLU for a fourth-place finish.Western competed in 20 races. "The weather conditions were good. It wasn't warm, but the wind wasn'tblowing," crew coach Fil Leanderson said. He said the racing course used for the regatta was differentfrom others during the season. "From shore to shore it's only 1,350 meters. We usually use a coursethat's 2,000 meters," he said. Of the season overall Leanderson said he thinks crew did well. "We didn'tdo as well as we did last year in terms of win-loss (record), but the times were very much the same aslast year," he said. He also pointed out that his crew grabbed many victories from top schools such asWashington State University, UPS and PLU. Men's crew also finished ahead of Oregon State Universityfor the first time in four years. A few of the problems for crew this year included sick and injuredpersonnel and mechanical failures with the boats. "I don't think we had one problem during practices (onLake Samish), but during the regattas we had some troubles with new equipment," Leanderson said.The coach was referring to a nylon oarlock that snapped during a race in Spokane, another thatsnapped at Western's own regatta on Lake Samish, and a rigger that broke on one of the women's boats. Crew season began March 27, and, since then, Western's crew has raced every weekend,Leanderson said. He said he expects a large percentage of this year's team to return next year. "We'll be back to tackle the UW. They're always the team we're going after," he said. More than 45 menparticipated in crew this year, Leanderson said. 'Wait'll next year,' women's crew says By JEFFPRITCHARD Although the coaches and team members of Western's women's crew didn't race as wellas they wanted this season, plans already are in motion for next season. "Three-fourths of this season's team were freshmen," said Ron Okura, women's crew coach. "This was a re-building year. We didn't doas well as we expected, but we're not disappointed. I think everyone learned a lot by the end of theseason. Next year we'll have a good year." This was Okura's fourth year as a crew coach. Before that he rowed in the men's lightweight division. "It's a team-oriented sport, so it's hard for anyone to be asuperstar and stick out," he said. "We didn't always win, but we were competitive," Okura said. Okuraserved as one-half of the coaching team. His counterpart, Barry Gall, a four-year crew-member- turned-graduate-biology-student, said women's crew already is starting to gear up for next season. "We didn'ttravel to California this year to compete so we could save for equipment," Gall said. He said the crewsaved about $10,000, which was added to the $6,300 the crew raised during their row-a-thon last fall.The money will help to pay for a variety of new equipment. "We're buying a new eight-man boat, twosets of fiberglass oars, two rowing machines, and a boat trailer with the money," he said. This was thefirst year that the women rowed as a varsity team. "There's not any difference in competition, but it's aboost financially," Gall said. The women's crew gets $3,000 a year from the club fund. SandyMulligan, a second-season crew member, said she saw some good quality rowing throughout theseason. "When the season started we had 45 women turning out. After spring break only 28 were left.Only the best stayed. If the people who were out this year come back next year we'll have a good crew." ' Her roommate, Nancy Kinney, also a second-season crew member, said she had a fun time this yeartrying to show the new members her experience. "Whatever the new members have learned had better show next year." Sharen Borgias, a 20-year-old sophomore and second-season crew member, pointedout the team's inexperience. "We had one fifth-year person, two third-year people, and four second-yearpeople, and that's it," she said. She also commented on the longer course to be used in races nextyear. "We're going to a 1,500- meter race from 1,000 meters. We do better on the longer course. It's notany more physically demanding than the shorter race. It gives more time for a race strategy." Borgiassaid that collegiate crew is getting put more into the limelight now. "Time-Life just did a great pictorialarticle on it," she said. "It's an elite sport in that you can only do it in college for all reasonable purposes. "Once you're out of college, you don't have access to the equipment. I was asked to join rugby, but 1 declined. I said, 'I can do that after school,'" Borgias said. Both roommates commented on the fact thatWestern's women's crew doesn't have much tradition, unlike the men who have shaved their heads as atradition, in the spring for the last few years. "We're still fairly new at this," Kinney said. Mulligan said, "I tried to talk everybody into getting their heads shaved in a Mohawk style, but nobody would." ---------- Western Front - 1982 May 18 - Page 9 ---------- TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1982 WESTERN FRONT 9 Explosive leaper inspires team By CATHY MELOVICHThe raw speed, power and endurance senior Donna Larry possesses is demonstrated by her explosiveperformances on the track in her first year of college competition. Her ability carried her to a first place tie in the long jump in the district meet when she bounded 19-2 to a personal best and school record. Sheraced to first place in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 14.88, qualifying her for the nationalchampionship. She also qualified in the long jump for the championship that will climax the season inCharleston, W. Va. "I was pretty happy with that (19-2 jump). I knew I had it in me. I had jumped close to that a couple of times before but had scratched. I set my goal at 19-5 and I've almost made that,"Larry said. "She's done some pretty amazing things," Coach Tony Bartlett said. "She's awesome." Larry is ranked first in the region in the hurdles and third in the long jump with her jumps consistently in the18-foot range and her hurdle times improving from 15.7 to 14.7 in the district meet preliminaries. Larry, abio-chemistry major, speaks with easy confidence about her accomplishments but does not boast abouther talent that she started to develop as a child. Her love for the sport started in elementary schoolwhen she competed in short distance races organized by the school district. The 5-5'/4-foot athletefrom Mercer Island High School, who also competed in volleyball and basketball, continued to hone her talent in track when she competed her last three years in high school in the long jump and the 80-meter hurdles, which now are the 100-meter hurdles. The long hours of practice earned Larry two secondplaces in the long jump in the state meet her sophomore and senior years. Her junior year she missed aslot in the state meet by scratching her three jumps in the district meet, one being her personal best of18-8. Her sophomore year hopes of a berth in the state meet in the hurdles were dashed by a fall caused by the wayward elbow of a competitor in the next lane. Even with her outstanding performances in highschool and college, Larry said, "There's so much I can improve on. There's so many things I'm doingwrong (in the long jump)." She added that her approach down the runway is wrong and that she does not extend her body in the air to add height, which can add a foot to a leap. Despite the complaints, Larrysaid, "I haven't been competing for five years and it still feels good to know I can do as good as in highschool, or even better." When Larry arrived at Western she decided to drop track from her scheduleand venture into rugby. "I got burnt out and I thought a varsity sftort would take a lot of time. I wanted achange," Larry said. She excelled for four years in the rough contact sport before she tired of that also. "I got burnt out from that too. It's nice to be involved in a varsity sport and there's not as much pressurehere as at a big school, even though the program is comparable. So I decided to try track again." Larrysaid Bartlett has been supportive and has assisted in improving her long jump technique. She added that he also makes a special effort to arrange individual coaching if someone cannot go to practice becauseof classes or other schedule conflicts. Donna Larry Bartlett said Larry was a talented athlete at thebeginning of the season but did not know the extent of what she could achieve. He believes she has notcompletely tapped her abilities and that she has the potential to turn in even stronger performances.Next year eligibility requirements will be different, allotting athletes five years to compete in a sport fromthe time they enter Western. Previously, atheletes were allowed to compete four years in a varsity sportand and unlimited time in a club sport. This will exclude Larry from competition because she will haveher eligibility after this season. Bartlett hopes to get the requirement waived because he says Lai rywants to come ' back next year and they want her back. Larry is one of the central figures on the teamwith her talented performances inspiring others on the team to strive for their bests, Bartlett said.Donna Larry, demonstrating her national qualifying form in the 110-meter hurdles.

But it was not easy for the Warthogs, whostruggled to a 4-4 half-time tie. Kyle Patrick scored the try and the conversion was missed. Frequentmistakes generated verbal abuse between the Warthogs â€” urging each other to play sharp and playtheir own game. The Warthogs' sluggish style of play continued intermittently for most of second halfwith neither team scoring, other than a three-point penalty kick by Western's Brian Hunter. "This wasprobably the worst game I've seen this team play all season," Western coach Gene Cinkovich said. "Theteam didn't start swinging the ball out until the last few minutes, which is how they normally play allgame." Swinging the ball out is the quick passing done by the backs to get the ball moving away fromthe scrum. Keeping the ball moving in this manner typifies Western's style of rugby. With three minutesleft in the game, the Warthogs quit grinding gears and made the Gonads look like overripe melons withlegs. On a break away run, Murray Brackett out sprinted the tiring Tacoma members for a try. A minutelater, Steve "Frisbee" Friswold scored another try on a play called the "stinky finger." By this time theGonads were holding their knees from chasing the Warthog's late scoring spurt. Another try was scoredless than a minute later by Kyle Patrick, but was nullified because of a forward pass. Tacoma won theseason's first half championship (fall and winter) and Western won the second (spring). Thechampionship game-was the last game for Western this season. With most of the team returning nextyear, the potential is extremely high for a repeat of this season's accomplishments, which produced a 11-1 conference record. "This team is the best I've seen play for Western,"Cinkovich said. "Considering how young these guys are, they came a long way this season. The back field especially plays together quitewell. With their speed, it's just a matter of them all getting hot at the same time." Cinkovich said thatnext year the entire team will be improved and are certain contenders to win the Pacific CoastChampionships, in which the Warthogs placed third a month ago. California Berkeley, which beatWestern 27-3 at the championships, went on to win the National Collegiate Championships thisweekend. "I think that says a lot for how good these guys are playing despite today's performance,"Cinkovich said. KOVACS RESTAURANT Salmon, salmon steaks or f i l e t s , $1/lb. Smoked Salmon,$2.50/lb.

Anew music scene has arrived in Bellingham. Groups such as M-6, Stick Figures and the NewElectrodes are contributing to defining the "scene." Local artist Karen Kistlersaid she believes that themusic scene is due, in part, to Western. "We get a lot of artists brought to town that we otherwisewouldn't get a chance to see because of Western. The creative people around here pick up on what'shappening with the bands that come here." Mary Ellin Robinson, special events coordinator forAssociated Students Program Commission and a new music admirer, describes what she believes ishappening musically in Bellingham. "Creative people are turning out creative music," she said. "It's akind of music that can only be called 'progressive' and it lends itself to change. It's not real melodic. Youcan't hum to it. It's a complicated music that has to be listened to to be understood." The group M-6 hasstarted working out of the third floor of the Elk's Club-Spaghetti Machine building (above the Hide-A-Waytavern) at 1414 Cornwall. The location has yet to receive an official name and now is called the "space,"the M-6 loft or the Yes Club. The space has a 30-by-65-foot hardwood dance floor and a total area aboutthe size of the Viking Union Lounge. "It will be ready for open house May 19,"saidBobScheu,an M-6member. As long as the space is, being renovated by the group, the owner is letting M-6 use it free forsix months. Scheu is one of 50 members of the M-6 scene. The group, he said, is designed to "takerisks" musically. In this Saturday's Blossomtime Parade a few members are putting together a"personal stereo brigade." These people, dressed in M-6 T-shirts and wearing walk-man stereos willmarch together. On a more serious side, few outlets for the new music scene other than the "space"exist'in Bellingham, most people, involved say. The Fairhaven recording studio, KUGS-FM, Western'smusic department, and Cellophane Square are the most popular "hang-outs" for the lovers and doers of new music. "It's not a big commercial thing because the outlets aren't around. People who listen to themusic are an in-group of patrons who either have no money or are involved somehow with the groupsand get in free to most of the shows," said Karen Pierce, a Fair-haven senior, whose boyfriend, DonKenoyer, plays the synthesizer for the New Electrodes. "Both X-I5 and Eddie and the Atlantics(members of the new music scene) had to move to Seattle. Most of the musicians in Bellingham don'tjust play music. They have to work side jobs," she said. It does seem true that bands are limited in theiraudience exposure. The more populous places, such as the VU Lounge, Fast Eddie's (which is undernew management) and Good Times (which has closed) are limited in terms of what bands play. (Next: A new wave enthusiast speaks out.) Theater/dance, music mesh for mass ritual By LESLIE NICHOLSStudents succumbing to end-of-quarter anxiety can find some inspiration and relief this week at theSpring Dance Concert featuring "African Sanctus," an hour-long musical work done in Latin massform. The concert, beginning at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday in the Performing Arts Center, MainAuditorium, is a joint production of Western's theater/dance and music departments. Faculty andstudents choreograph and perform the solo and large group dances. The first half of the program beginswith "Blue Bird" from "Sleeping Beauty" and "Three Ivans" from "Aurora's Wedding," reconstructed byNicholas Orloff and set to music by Tchaikovsky, as well as "Gypsy Flare," set to a popular Russiansong. Concert Director Kim Arrow steps in next as choreographer and performer in "Sixteen Phases ofKaspar Hauser According to Peter Handke," based on Handke's play "Kaspar." The piece revolvesaround the story of Kaspar Hauser, a young boy living in the mid-19th century. Hauser is locked in abasement for 13 of his 16 years without human contact. The second half of the program features Arrow's performance of "African Sanctus." His inspiration for the dance came from artist Robert Rauschenberg's graphic collage of "Dante's Inferno." The Latin mass form for "Sanctus" music is the work of Britishcomposer David Fanshawe, who recorded Middle East and primitive music while abroad. Fanshawecombined the recording with modern Western music to produce "Sanctus." Arrow meshes hischoreography and Fanshawe's score with singing by the University Choir, under the direction of TomCrabtree. "African Sanctus Sculptor speaks out on internal issues By JIM PERKINS W hile an artbackground is not necessary to experience Pamels Goetz's sculpture, an internal body awareness ishelpful. Goetz' sculpture makes a statement about body issues. "It's obvious there is somethinghappening with the work," she said. What is happening is Goetz' intense personal involvement in herwork. Five pieces are on display in the Chrysalis Gallery, Fairhaven Stack 2, now through May 28.Viewing hours are noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Wednesday when viewing hours are 7 to 9 p.m. Goetz' work de-emphasizes the outer body and focuses on the inner. At one end of the gallery,looking like it was purposely put aside, is a plaster and sand casting of Goetz' nude body â€” the "outerbody." Goetz said she wished extra space was around the casting, as if she did not want viewers to paymuch attention to it. At the other end of the gallery is a wooden box lined with white tiles. The openingnight of the show, Goetz displayed herself nude, immersed in water, inside the box. Viewers wereencouraged to get close to the box and look in. Other pieces displayed continue the inner body focus.The three pieces include a real heart suspended in a block of clear plastic resin, an animal fetus treatedthe same way, and a gynecologist's speculum displayed under glass and above a steel and tile table.Goetz' use of steel and tile may seem cold and clinical at first. But, Goetz said, "It makes sense to beclean." Focusing on the inner body in individual pieces, clean and unfettered by blood and guts, is almost gestalt. The viewer cannot help but feel a certain sensuality. Pamela Goetz is a junior art student atWestern. She said she did not start out in life to become a sculptor. She liked to draw pictures as a child, she said, but did not become involved in art until she began college. She said she has gone fromdrawing, to photography, to sculpting, and feels she has found her true medium at last. Goetz recentlywon first prize for another of her steel and glass sculptures at the 1982 Whatcom County ArtsCompetition. A plaster and sand casting of sculptor Pamela Goetz' body is one of five pieces showing atthe Chrysalis Gallery. ---------- Western Front - 1982 May 18 - Page 12 ---------- 12 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1982 TUESDAY: "New Photography," by Paul Berger,shows today through June 10 in the VU Gallery.

Therese Koelmeyer, who attended Western from 1982 to 1986, runs an orphanage and relief organization in Dehiwela. Western grad lives in Sri Lanka, provides aid after disaster BY MARISSA HARSHMAN The Western Front Nearly 20 years ago, Western graduate Therese Koelmeyer made a decision to move across the world, a decision that would later thrust her into the aftermath of the tsunami that crashed onto the shores of Asia this past month. With the recent destruction in Asia, Koelmeyer and her organization, Community Concern Society, have been working overtime, providing medical supplies, food, clothes and water to people who have lost everything from the tsunami, she said in an e-mail to her friends and family on Dec. 27. The tsunami hit Dehiwela, Sri Lanka, where Koelmeyer lives. She has been in contact with family and friends since the tsunami hit, but was unable to be reached for comment. Koelmeyer became involved with the relief and development organization when she arrived in Dehiwela in 1987. The organization assists the poor through feeding programs, and provides a drug rehabilitation center called Power House. It also runs a school for street children called Morning Star School and a children's home for abandoned youth called the Lotus Buds Children's Home, said Kris DeBruine, a Western graduate and friend of Koelmeyer. While in Bellingham, Koelmeyer attended Hillcrest Chapel, and in 1985 she'"asked Pastor Jim Murphy for his support for her desire to work in Sri Lanka. Hillcrest Chapel has collected $77,000 for tsunami relief from the congregation, Campus Christian Fellowship, and from people around the country, Murphy said. The money will be sent to Community Concern Society, where the board members, including Koelmeyer, will decide how to distribute the funds, Murphy said. Koelmeyer attended Western from 1982 see KOELMEYER, page 6 County to consider vote-by-mail system BY BRITTANY GREENFIELD The Western Front Taxpayers will save money and elections will be more accurate if Whatcom County switches to a vote-by-mail system, county auditor Shirley Forslof said at a Bellingham community forum Saturday. The forum was sponsored by the county Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties and six local organizations such as Whatcom Fair Voting. The forum allowed community members to learn about the proposal Forslof will introduce at the Whatcom County Council meeting Tuesday. The proposed changes would limit the size of voting precincts in. the county to fewer than 200 voters each. Forslof said this would allow her, as county auditor, to designate all precincts as vote-by-mail. Forslof said Whatcom County will phase out the punch-card system by 2006 as required by the Help America Vote Act. This act, passed by the U.S. Congress in 2002, established a program that.provides funds to states for replacing the punch-card voting system. Forslof said the county has the option of replacing them with either a full, vote-by-mail system or a combination of absentee ballots and touch-screen polls. Citing that 73 percent of Whatcom County voters used absentee ballots in the November general election, Forslof said voters already have shown they favor mail-in ballots. Forslof said the convenience of at-home voting also would increase voter participation and allow voters to study the candidates and issues, as well as educate future voters by encouraging family involvement. see VOTING, page 4 Congress funds border research institute BY ADAM RUDNICK The Western Front Students interested in studying the Canadian- American border will receive a belated Christmas gift in early 2005 â€” a Congress-approved $1 million grant to establish a border research program. Although the details of how the money will be appropriated are unclear, the grant will help Western establish the Border Policy Research Institute, responsible for researching issues pertaining to the border, said Donald Alper, Canadian-American Studies director and political science professor. Border security, transportation and the flow of goods between Canada and the United States are examples of issues the institute hopes to examine, he said. "Land use is connected to transportation, which is connected to security issues, which is connected to trade issues," Alper said. "It kind of got broadened out to focus on wider impacts of the border." Alper said it is not yet known how Western students can become directly involved with the institute. Research experts from around the United States may lecture on a variety of topics, Alper said. "We also will be holding conferences and bringing in guest speakers and so on to talk about the importance of having a border with Canada that not only works for security but also works to ensure the flow of goods and people back and forth," Alper said. Western's institute would help coordinate international trade and security issues within North America, said Jim Miller, Whatcom Council of Government's executive director "I hope the institute will coordinate our effort within North America so we can have efficient trade while still maintaining issues of security," Miller said. "Those sort see INSTITUTE, page 4 AMANDA WOOLLEY/The Western Front The Peace Arch stands at the Canadian- American border.

NATIONAL NEWS Supreme Court refuses to hear gay adoption challenge The U. S. Supreme Court will not accept an appeal from four Florida men who challenged a state ban on adoption by gay couples. Justices offered no comment in rejecting the case. Florida is the only state with a blanket law prohibiting homosexuals from adopting children. Opponents argued that the 1977 law is not logical because it excludes potential parents for thousands of abandoned children. But supporters said Florida has the power to promote traditional mother-father families. Trial date for Texas mom in beheadings postponed until May Attorneys for a south Texas woman on suspicion of helping her common-law husband kill and behead her three children protested orders to turn over psychiatrist reportsâ€”- delaying the trial until May. The defense for Angela Camacho contends she is not competent, even though a judge has ruled otherwise. Defense attorneys have argued that she scored 51 in an IQ test administered in the year after the deaths. A person who scores below 70 is considered mentally retarded. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in 2002 that mentally retarded criminals cannot be put to death. The 25-year-old faces three capital murder counts for allegedly stabbing, strangling and beheading her three children in March 2003.

This (institute) will make our job easier, and I think it will strengthen our efforts." Miller directs the Whatcom Council of Governments, an associated group â€¢ â€¢â€¢ of smaller city governments and Whatcom county government officials that researches border and transportation issues in Whatcom county. The council's primary objective changes as research dictates, but generally the group's research will coincide with Western's new institute, Miller said. Western senior and Canadian- American Studies major Krista Martinez said the institute could help Western. Economically, Alper said one of the best aspects of the new institute is a minimal university-funding requirement because of the grant. Western will provide some staffing and classroom space only, he said. Finding building space for lectures is always difficult, not to mention finding additional sources of funding beyond the grant to bring in guest speakers, Alper said. "One of the things that is envisioned is that we will have affiliatepositions so that somebody could come in for six months or a year and be affiliated with this institute and conduct research or even teach a class," Alper said. After 16 months of proposals and uncertainty, Alper said he hopes Western will become a central location where information relating to the border can be brought together in one place. "(My long-term goal) is if you want to know anything related to the border, you go to Western," Alper said. "Their border research institute will have all of the information you need." Voting: $1.6 million could be saved with vote-by-mail CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 "It's a change in custom," she said. "Instead of voting at the polls, you vote around the dinner table." Forslof said that with the new system, all voters would use optical-scan, mail-in ballots that are similar to absentee ballots but with fill-in bubbles rather than punch-out chads. The only polling places, Forslof said, would be those the 2002 act requires for voters with disabilities who are unable to use a mail-in ballot. Forslof said implementing the vote-by-mail system would cost Whatcom County taxpayers an estimated $1.6 million less than keeping the polls open. The county would save money on things such as poll workers" salaries and rent of the poll locations, as well as the cost of replacing punch-card machines with the touch-screen equipment the act requires. Forslof said these savings would significantly outweigh the printing and postage costs of the additional mail-in ballots. At the forum, Zach Frazier, a Western junior and political science major with experience in debate, presented reasons why he opposes the new system. He said he values the tradition and the community contact that voting at the polls represents. As a student, Frazier said he always has had to vote by absentee ballot but wants to vote at the polls in the future. "I would like at least the option," he said. Larry Williams, 62, a Bellingham voter who attended the forum, said he was concerned that the vote-by-mail system would isolate voters. "We're losing contact of each other," Williams said. "It's our society, not the technocrats' society." County Councilman Seth Fleetwood said he always has voted at the polls. "I feel a certain nostalgia for keeping it a certain way," he said. But although Fleetwood said he was trying to remain open-minded about the proposal, he said he was leaning toward supporting it because of the vote-by-mail system's reliability and potential for attracting more voters. Forslof said another advantage of the vote-by-mail system would be more secure voting. Mail-in ballots would create an auditable paper trail, require signature verification and give election officials more control because all ballots would be handled the same. Forslof will present the proposal at the Whatcom County Council meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Are Your BRAKES making noise?

"We work together in response to what they call the Party Patrol, which is responding to events that become unruly and have a lot of underage drinking," Shaw said. "So what you're seeing in the statistics reflects our actions, in addition to what we did on campus, to what we did in the surrounding areas in response to calls." Shaw said UP became involved after meeting with two on-campus programs, the Campus Community Coalition and Prevention and Wellness Services. He said he requested that UP become involved with the Party Patrol partly because he wanted to get a read on how many students were involved with the parties. Shaw said the University Police have learned that many of the underage drinkers whom the Party Patrol are citing are not Western students. "All too often, Western students are attributed to loud parties, disruptive behavior and those kinds of things. And that's not always the case," Shaw said. "There's got to be a differentiation. Drinking underage doesn't necessarily mean you are a student. Many of the people we deal with are not students." Campus Community Coalition Coordinator Lara Welker said although last year was the first time University Police participated with the Bellingham police, Western has helped fund the Bellingham Police and the Party Patrol in previous years. Welker said state and federal grants made Western's involvement with the Bellingham Police possible. Pat Fabiano, director of Prevention and Wellness Services, said that in the past the university partially funded the Party Patrol with a state-level grant from the Department of Social and Health Services. This fall, in addition to the state-level grant, Fabiano said Western received a grant from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism/National Institutes of Health. These two grants will fund several different programs, including the Neighborhood Engagement with Students Project, which Fabiano said encourages a stronger relationship among students and the community through service and research programs. Welker said the program allocates portions of the grants toward the funding of the Party Police officers break up a large this past Friday night.

"It's an appropriate way for the coalition to support the police Courtesy of Grant Goodall party on Douglas Avenue late department in working towards a goal that the coalition and the police department have in common, which is reducing and addressing underage drinking," Welker said.

At Western she became involved with CCF and began to learn about the needs of people throughout the world, said Brady Bobbink, a CCF pastor. "(Koelmeyer) decided that before she settled down and took a job in the work force, she would like to go on a mission," said Maria Callen, Koelmeyer's sister. "She truly believed she was being called." Koelmeyer believed that God called her to Sri Lanka to serve the needs of others and to live among the world's poorest, DeBruine said. "I admired her courage to go to such a challenging place as a young single woman and believed that she was following God's direction for her life," Murphy said. When Koelmeyer moved to Dehiwela, she became acting director for the Community Concern Society, established to assist the poor in the city, DeBruine said. The Community Concern Society center in Dehiwela provides a feeding program that normally feeds 400 women, children and babies, but now is struggling to provide for more than 4,500 people in tsunami Courtesy of Kris DeBruine Koelmeyer sits with children from Lotus Buds Children's Home, the orphanage she founded/This photo was taken in 1989. devastated Dehiwela, Callen said. The people living on the Dehiwela beach lost their homes. Those who lived further inland had their homes flooded and their supplies ruined, Koelmeyer said in the e-mail she sent to friends and family. The tsunami flooded the entire first floor of the center with sand and water, destroying all the windows in the building, Callen said. The center was cleaned and repaired and is back in operation, she said. Koelmeyer started the Lotus Buds Children's Home in 1989, DeBruine said. She and her husband Roger, a Sri Lankan native, now care for 22 foster children and three children of their own, DeBruine said. Koelmeyer, her family, and her organization are involved with the relief effort in Dehiwela, Callen said. The family has been purchasing, sorting, packing, delivering and distributing relief items throughout Sri Lanka, she said in the letter. Between caring for her 22 foster children and three children of her own and interacting with suppliers and aid organizations, purchasing supplies and coordinating and delivering relief items, Koelmeyer is bone weary, running on two to three hours of sleep each night, Koelmeyer said in the Jan. 4 letter. Koelmeyer, her husband, their 12-year- old daughter Hannah and Courtesy of Maria Callen Homes were destroyed in Dehiwela, Sri Lanka after the tsunami. a group of volunteers traveled to the East Coast of Sri Lanka, where the worst devastation occurred, with three truck loads of supplies on Dec. 30, Callen said. The trip, which is equivalent to the distance from Seattle to Bellingham, took nine hours because the roads were destroyed, Callen said. They were forced to travel through the darkness in an area where wild elephants roamed freely and approached the trucks throughout the trip, Callen said. Besides the elephants and the dangers of traveling at night, the group had to endure the stench of corpses â€” both a physical and emotional challenge, Koelmeyer said in the letter. Koelmeyer's husband is a pastor at a church in Colombo, just outside Sri Lanka, and members of his congregation are pulling together to help in any way they can â€” but the sheer number of people who have been left homeless is overwhelming for them, Callen said. "They went to Peta, the wholesale area of Colombo, and bought 500 pairs of underwear to distribute the other day," Callen said. "Most people have lost the very basics." Although Koelmeyer never planned for her move to Sri Lanka in 1987 to be a life-long mission, the work she and her husband have been doing there has made them heroes in the eyes of her family and friends, Callen said. }iokf Services $ on campus j ^ | | f I ^ J p P E N Mon-Thurs 7:30a-4:15p; Fri 7;30a-3:l5p .

Donald Billing, a former director of Measurement Canada, which ensures the accuracy of meters and scales, was charged with 11 counts of fraud. Police say he used government credit cards to buy hockey trading cards valued, at approximately $150,000 U.S. and tried to pass off the purchases as office supplies. "It's certainly different," said Cpl. Howard Adams of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. "I don't think there have been many cases where government employees have been purchasing hockey cards." Christiane Fox, a spokeswoman for Measurement Canada, said Measurement Canada suspended Billing without pay in September 2003, pending the outcome of an internal investigation. In January 2004, he was fired and was reported to the Mounties. "There's now an increased monitoring of credit-card purchases, and the number of credit cards in use by Measurement Canada has been reduced," Fox said. When contacted at his Barrie, Ontario, home, Billing refused to comment on the charges. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 11. Man is suspected of stabbing his long-lost best friend British police arrested a man this past Friday on suspicion.of repeatedly stabbing his recently reunited best friend, whom he had traced via the popular "Friends Reunited" Web site. * Brendan Walsh is under suspicion of stabbing Noel Duff seven times in a drunken rage because he mistakenly believed his friend had attacked his'sister, Karen, whom Duff had started dating. The victim said he still wants to be buddies. Record cigar rolled in Puerto Rico A cigar maker in Puerto Rico has hand-rolled a 62-foot-long cigar, which would be the world's largest if the Guinness Book of World Records confirms it. Patricio Pena, 43, took approximately four days to, manufacture the cigar in a plaza outside a farmer's market in the Santurce district of San Juan, finishing the project late Saturday. Pena is attempting to displace Cuba â€” the king of cigar-making â€” as the home of the world's largest cigar. The current Guinness record-holder is Jose Castelar Cairo of Havana who made a 45-foot-long cigar in August 2003. It took 20 pounds of tobacco from Puerto Rico and Pennsylvania and 100 leaves to roll the huge cigar, Pena said. The materials cost about $2,000, but he was sponsored by San Juan's city government, the Bacardi rum company and the Telemundo television station. ; ' Pena said he started the cigar* on Wednesday. He let it sit for the next two days so the tobacco would gain consistency and would be easier to wrap. Dozens of curious onlookers including legendary Cuban percussionist Carlos "Patato" Valdes, were on hand to watch the final stage of the feat Saturday. Pena had nine assistants turn the cigar as he wrapped it with leaves during an hour-long process. Pena said he does not plan to smoke the cigar or cut it into smaller ones. Instead, he plans to hang the cigar in the market so tourists can to see it. British mail sent to South America Britain's Ascension Island has been without mail since October because the Royal Mail has been sending its mail to South America. A British territory with a population of just more than 1,000 people, Ascension Island is 703 miles northwest of St. Helena in the South Atlantic. The Britain-based Daily Mirror reported that the mail was sent to the Paraguayan capital Asuncion as well as Guyana's capital Georgetown, which shares the same name as the Ascension Island's capital, by mistake. "Steps have been taken to make sure it doesn't happen again," a Royal Mail spokeswoman told the Mirror. "The number of flights we can use is limited, so it is taking time, but this mail is not all lost." Providing an important communications staging post, the island is used as a relay station for underground cables between South Africa and Europe. During the Falkland Islands conflict in 1982, it was a halfway-house for the British task force. - Compiled by Greta Smoke W E S T E R N B A S K E T B A LL Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Bachelor of Science in the College of Business and Economics www. cbe .wwii. ed u/m m 2004-2005 $44,500 In Scholarship Grants To get involved, contact: ytRCS/^} The Educational Society for Resource Management Meetings at 6:00p.m in Parks 104 Free food and drinks.

BY TAYLOR WILLIAMS The Western Front Bellingham resident Sal Vacca never guessed his passion for gardening would help him raise more than $100,000 in the past four years. Vacca used his gardening skills to create a pumpkin patch and dahlia field in Barkley Village, and gave all proceeds to the Whatcom Hospice Foundation. In December, Vacca received the Seahawks Community Quarterback Award for his accomplishments with the Hospice Foundation. "This award really belongs to these people and to everyone who helps with this program," Vacca said. Sitting at the Barkley Village Starbucks, which he frequently refers to as his "office," Vacca shows regulars and other customers a Seahawks football with his name on the front and the cardboard $10,000 check donated in his name by the Seahawks to the Hospice Foundation in recognition for his dedication to the community. Vacca said he learned of the hospice from his friend Stephanie Feeney. Feeney's mother died in hospice care, and Feeney sponsored a fundraiser at her house that raised $13,106, only a few months before she herself died of breast cancer. Vacca parked cars at the event and spent the end of the evening talking with Whatcom Hospice volunteers about their work. With the Hospice Foundation fresh in his mind, Vacca spoke with the leasing manager for Barkley Village and asked what would be placed in the vacant lot in the corner of the village. The manager asked what Vacca wanted to see there, Vacca said. "A garden, where people can take what they want and leave a donation, which we can give to a charity," Vacca said. The charity.became Whatcom Hospice. Although he may have brainstormed the initial idea for. the pumpkin patch, the community has not been shy in helping him along, Vacca said. Vacca said he remembers the second and third years of the patch, when grade-school teachers who saw him in Starbucks asked him if they could bring their classes to plant seeds. He remembers a group of Western students who went to the patch to supply their annual pumpkin-carving party. Only a handful of people are out on the field at a any one time, but that scene is deceiving, Vacca said. Many people help who are not on the field. Vacca's aunt knit a lot of orange beanies with green leaves at the top â€” like the one Vacca wears â€” for him to sell at the patch. He remembers the first harvest, when deer got to the pumpkins before he could, and before he could put a fence up. "The pumpkins were coming along well, but we kept seeing huge bites taken out of them every morning," Vacca said. He had never thought deer would be a problem, he said. Mike Hammes, a partner in Ram Construction, frequently drove by the patch and saw Vacca putting up the fence. "I found out the money was coming out of the donations," Hammes said. Hammes offered to pay for it, and Ram Construction has been doing something for Vacca every year since then. One year, Ram Construction bought 400 T-shirts to sell. "(We) try to do different things that can potentially generate revenue," Hammes said. . The program's success was a surprise, Vacca said. "I just thought (I would) raise and sell (the pumpkins) and donate the money. (This project) went every way other than the way I planned," Vacca said. Correne Cook, an executive assistant at Olympic Health Management, the pumpkin patch's most prolific sponsor, said she can look out her office window and watch the activity on the patch. "(Vacca) is always there, rain or shine, especially during October," Cook said. From her window, she saw Vacca giving children train rides around the patch on small carts connected to a tractor. "It brings joy to see the kids smiling," Cook said. With Vacca's experience in volunteerism, he has one piece of advice: "Translate what you know into something." Vacca knows about gardening, so he volunteers his gardening skills. Vacca, who has seen friends spend their last moments in hospice care, said he always wanted to help out in some way but didn't believe gardening could directly help. "I couldn't work around a person who was tenninally ill," Vacca said, "but I can provide for the person who can." Vacca also encourages volunteers to be aware of what the organizations need. The patch's greatest need is during October, with transportation and the sale of pumpkins, Vacca said. The Community Quarterback Award is part of a national volunteer recognition program sponsored by NFL Charities, Vacca said. Out of 109 candidates, 10 received a $ 1,000 donation.

But 30 is less competition than the last round." ---------- Western Front 2005 January 11 - Page 9 ---------- JANUARY 11,2005 FEATURES THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 9 BY LAUREN ALLAIN The Western Front An unconventional form of writing is visible on freeway overpasses, bathroom stalls, train cars and sanctioned walls. This untraditional writing is graffiti. A 21-year-old Western junior, who wishes to remain anonymous because some of the work he has done is illegal, considers himself a graffiti writer or artist, going by the tag name of tare.one. He began his graffiti career in 2000 while living in Hamburg, Germany. In the United States, graffiti is a more offensive crime than it is in Germany, tare.one said. Because Bellingham has an anti-graffiti task force, not many writers are creating what tare.one calls "pieces," the mural form of graffiti. On Western's campus and in the city of Bellingham, illegal graffiti is a crime of malicious mischief, and the perpetrator is fined for the cost cleaning up the paint. The cost to repaint a train car is $10,000, said University Police officer Bianca Smith. Writing names is what Smith calls tagging. Every graffiti writer has a stage name. It is either the writer's own or a tag used by the group the writer paints with, Smith said. The tag tare.one uses is NWC â€” meaning "Northwest crew," "never without cans," or "nights we control," he said. "I got arrested once-in^C^Htj^iy," tare.one said. "It was like a $500 fine." : ; y ^ ^ Because of the anti-graffiti task force, tare.one mainly paints legal pieces now. Painting illegal pieces is called "bombing," he said. "Graffiti is all about getting fame and being recognized â€” those are the bombers," tare.one said. "They just go out there and put their name everywhere." Among the most popular mediums for tagging and piece graffiti are trains, tare.one said. "I love painting on trains because there's nothing else like it," tare.one said. "Trains are hardcore. People who do trains know the security routes. They know the time and place the guards will be." Because of the graffiti task force, Bellingham does not generate much train writing, tare.one said. But it can be seen passing through frequently, he said. Vancouver, B.C., and Portland have big train scenes, and most train paintings spotted in Bellingham have come from one of those locations, tare.one said. Train tunnels also are popular, tare.one said. He has painted one in the Fairhaven district, he said. Prior to painting the tunnel, a group, which typically consists of at least two people, will paint the wall white~te block out any previous work, tare; one said. Fifteen minutes to an hour later, they begin painting. Writere frequently end up painting over other pieces, he said. "Graffiti is a double-edged sword," tare.one said. "Other people want the opportunity to do walls, too." If the piece is better than the one that was previously there, no feelings are hurt and respect is given for doing a better piece, he said. When painting a train or train tunnel, the writers typically have only approximately 15 minutes to complete the piece during dark hours, tare.one said. "You gotta do it at night â€” like 3 a.m.," he said. "There's something really addicting to doing illegal stuff. It's an adrenaline rush." Legal, or sanctioned walls, however, allow the writer to have a much calmer, more artistic approach, tare.one said he recently painted a retaining wall in an alley near campus with permission of nearby neighbors. With this wall, he took nearly six hours to complete the piece in a two-day period. "It's fun to have 12 or 13 dudes come out, have a barbecue, drink beer and paint all day," he said. Few sanctioned walls exist in Bellingham, but one of the most well-known is located at the Up and Up Tavern in downtown Bellingham. "The Up and Up was the icebreaker," tare.one said. Owner Ian Relay said he was working the door approximately eight years ago, when he was approached by writers suggesting they paint the wall. The writers were given permission by Relay after they brought in portfolios, and as long as the writing did not include anything blatantly offensive or related to gangs. "Every six months or so, when the writers come up with the money for paint and time in their schedules, they come paint something new," Relay said. But not all Bellingham residents condone graffiti. "A lot of people find it, at the least, annoying," said Bellingham Police Lt. Graige Ambrose. Many victims of unwanted and illegal graffiti or tagging often pay to remove it themselves, Ambrose said. - â€¢ . According to the Physical Plant and grounds maintenance, Western spent $13,563 on graffiti and sculpture vandalism cleanup last year, Smith said. Greencoats and custodians constantly are watching for new graffiti, Smith said. "It's a crime of opportunity where there are no eyes. Rarely, people get caught in the act," Smith said. Smith is a member of Pacific Northwest Tagnet, a regional anti-graffiti network covering the coast from British Columbia to California. Both the Bellingham Police Department and UP are involved with Tagnet. The group exchanges information on current graffiti or tagging issues. "We share information on taggers," Smith said. "We can kind of track through the Northwest areas anyone who's doing regular graffiti." A tag that has been an issue in California may show up in Bellingham, Smith said. "It's not on the rise by any means," Smith said. "But it's not decreasing, either." Writers wishing to avoid illegal activity paint frequently for friends who want pieces in their homes, tare.one said. "I've got, like, five or six people I need to do stuff for," tare.one said. "You get the bug and you just have to paint." Part of a sanctioned wall located on the Up and Up Tavern building on State Street displays this mural, painted eight years ago. Illegal tagging is a method of graffiti notoriety. This tag is located in an alley on Railroad Avenue and State Street.

He said he knew then what he wanted to, devote his life to â€” medicine. Now, having spent his life as a sports physician and having gained international recognition for his work, Howe, 64, said he stands at the top of his profession as the recipient of the 2005 Citation Award from the American College of Sports Medicine. "I'm incredibly honored and incredibly humbled to receive this award," he said. "There - have only been 146 winners, so I am in select company. But I'm not sure why they selected me." Friend, ACSM member and fellow physician Dr. Don Christie said he has an idea why. "I hope that Western understands what a jewel of a resource it has in the person of Dr. Warren Howe," he said. Howe has served as a team physician at Western since 1992, working with all varsity sports teams in addition to working in the Student Health Center. Howe, a team physician, helps athletes eat and exercise correctly and tends to their inevitable injuries, he said. "(Western athletes) are plain fun to take care of," he said. "You get to watch highly motivated people attempt to achieve incredible feats." The job is not without its difficulties. The worst aspect of the job is telling athletes they will not compete for a while because of injury, he said. One such athlete is Western senior wide receiver Zach Russell, who split his pelvis his sophomore year and received treatment from Howe. While Russell did not return that season, he said 'Re knows what he's doing. He tries to get you back on the field as soon as possible.' ZACH RUSSELL Western senior wide reciever Howe's treatment made the recovery quicker. "He knows what he's doing," Russell said. "He tries to get you back on the field as soon as possible." A member of the ACSM since 1972, Howe is best known for his work at Western, Christie said. Howe's greatest contribution was his effort to classify the knowledge and skills needed to be a competent sports physician, Christie said. Such efforts made the profession more respected, Christie said. "By example, Dr. Howe showed that the practicing physician could understand and care for the special problems of the athlete and that this was a calling as deserving of praise and respect as any other," Christie " said. The ACSM is an international organization that helps sports physicians by conducting scientific research and offering them further education, Howe said. The ACSM's Citation Award is presented every year to three individuals who have made significant and important contributions to sports medicine. Past winners include astronauts Alan Shepard and John Glenn, as well as cardiologist Albert S. Hyman, who developed the pacemaker. And, come June, the list will include Howe. Before coming to Western, Howe worked as a family physician in Oak Harbor and as a team physician for Oak Harbor High School. He has been involved with high school wrestling, working at the state wrestling championships since 1979. Additionally, he served as attending physician at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national wrestling championship in 1976. In recognition for his longtime service in the medical profession, Howe was inducted into the 2003 National Wrestling Hall of Fame. 1 rrry ;:;E:XT:EwriEiiR^ H^Hillllilii AMANDA WOOLLEY/The Western Front Western team physician Dr. Warren Howe received the 2005 Citation Award from the American College of Sports Medicine.

An axel snaps, the transmission drops, the engine starts smokingâ€”even the CD player craps out. Yes, there's nothing in sports quite like a Seahawks collapse. Fans of the team are so used to soul-crushing losses that they can sense when one is about to occur â€” even if they don't want to believe it. I wouldn't call myself a Seahawks fan, but I, too, could sense one of these losses prior to the Seahawks' Saturday playoff game against the St. Louis Rams. Don't get me wrong, I was rooting for the Seahawks, but I knew that they would invariably find a way to blow it. I kept a "paper blog," otherwise known as notes, during the game to try and pinpoint the exact point or points â€” we'll call them "uh-oh" moments â€” at which the team self-destructed. 1:34 p.m. Minutes before kickoff, ABC sideline reporter Suzy Kolber's pre-game interview with Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren reminds fans of the 20 years it has been since the team won a playoff game. Holmgren even stumbles on what could be next year's marketing slogan: "We've had some games we could have won, but we didn't." Sadly, though, Big Mike doesn't try to kiss Kolber. 1:37 p.m. In ABC's starting lineup montage, Rams wide receiver Torry Holt introduces himself as "Torry 'Big Game' Holt." If you're a Seahawks fan, that's your first "uh-oh" moment. 1:40 p.m. ABC commentator Joe Theismann told us in the pre-game that Rams quarterback Mark Bulger doesn't want to throw short passes, he wants to go deep. Guess what? With fewer than two minutes gone in the game, Bulger throws a 52-yard strike to "Big Game" Holt on the third play from scrimmage. We have our second Uh- Oh moment of the game and the line for $7 beer is still snaking around the concourse. 1:49 p.m. The crowd has really perked up and Bulger can't hear a thing. Then the Seahawks inexplicably come out with seven defensive backs, giving Bulger time to hit a sliding Holt in the end zone. Touchdown Rams! 1:50p.m. But wait â€” it's instant replay time! The ball may have hit the ground before Holt caught it. Upon further review, the video evidence won't be conclusive enough to overturn the call. On the plus side, the Seahawks have a storied history of getting screwed on instant replay (or a lack thereof). Nice use of a timeout. 1:53 p.m. Yep, call stands. 7-0 Rams, 11:36 first quarter. 1:57p.m. It'sthe Seahawks'firstpossession and ... oh no! We've got our first dropped pkss. This time, wide receiver Darrell "D-Jack" Jackson bobbles a ball thrown at his numbers and the Rams pick off the ensuing pop-up for great field position. I don't even have a "dropped balls" joke to make here, "uh-oh" moment No. 3. 1:59 p.m. Bulger finally looks like the "pedestrian" quarterback he is when he throws a deep ball to Holt on the sideline â€” right into double-coverage and the arms of Seahawks safety Ken Hamlin. Cancel that last "uh-oh" moment for the time being. 2:16 p.m. Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck scampers for a big first down, but D-Jack doesn't even look back when running his route. The ABC announcers said Cartoon by Michael Murray his head wasn't in the game. On the next set of downs, D-Jack doesn't even know where to line up. Man, if the Hawks are still playing like this come playoff time â€” oh, wait. 2:26p.m. After a Seahawks field goal, the Rams get the ball back and, at the start of the second quarter, Bulger throws a 50-yard bomb to wide receiver Kevin Curtis. First and goal Rams. 2:27 p.m. Touchdown Rams! Rams running back Marshall Faulk isn't even touched until after he breaks the plane of the goal line. 14-3 St. Louis, 13:32 2nd quarter. 2:32 p.m. Sure-handed Seahawks wide receiver Bobby Engram drops a ball. I didn't drop this many passes in my snow football game Saturday. 2:35 p.m. Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander is on the sidelines, in pain. If I didn't know better, I'd say it looks like someone stabbed him in the back. In reality, he took a shot in the arm from Rams safety Adam Archuleta. 2:43 p.m. Immediately after a penalty negated a Rams interception, Hasselbeck hits Engram for a touchdown on a perfectly thrown ball. Normally, a sequence like that goes against the Seahawks. Maybe the team does have a chance. 14-10 St. Louis, 8:18 2nd quarter. (Programming note: ABC's pink color scheme and promos for "The Bachelorette" probably aren't playing well to the NFL demographic. Nothing against other "demographics," I just thought I'd point that out. 3:07 p.m. The Seahawks finally bring pressure on third and seven and sack Bulger, but cornerback Ken Lucas gets flagged for hands to the face and keeps the Rams drive alive. The call was ticky-tack and had no bearing whatsoever on the play, and the violation was not flagrant. Classic Seahawks. 3:18 p.m. The Seahawks' final drive of the half dies on fourth and 10, too far out for kicker Josh Brown's field goal range. Had a few other things gone the Seahawks' way â€” not challenging the touchdown, the Lucas penalty, another penalty on a punt return â€” Brown may have had a shot at a field goal. Instead, the Rams are up by four athalftime. 3:38p.m. Hasselbeck comes out in an Elway-esque rhythm. D-Jack wakes up long enough to catch a pass and then run for a first down, and Hasselbeck's strike to Robinson digs the team out of a third-and-long. Even Robinson's second fumble of the game rolled out of bounds instead of going for a turnover. Are the bounces actually going the Seahawks' way? 3:45p.m. No. With the Seahawks second-and- goal on the 5 yard line, Hasselbeck takes a sack and after a false start and incomplete pass, Brown boots a field goal. A drive in which Hasselbeck went 6- of- 8 for 63 yards that didn't result in a touchdown has to be the new "uh-oh" moment No. 3. 14-13 St. Louis, 8:54 3rd quarter. 3:56p.m. The Seahawks must be listening to the ABC commentators and me. The defensive pressure is finally getting to Bulger, who burns a timeout after Seahawks linebacker Chad Brown rings his bell. More Seahawks pressure forces the Rams to settle for a field goal. 17-13 St. Louis, 2:38 3rd quarter. 4:07 p.m. Alexander and D-Jack briefly remember that they're in a playoff football game and come up with big gains to give Seattle good field position at the start of the fourth quarter. I can feel it now â€” this game is setting up to crush souls all over the Puget Sound. 4:11 p.m. Is D-Jack back? Two more catches and the Seahawks are in the end zone ... and ahead in the fourth quarter.

Carroll has led the Trojans to consecutive Orange Bowl victories the past two years. Despite that, however, Carroll should not coach the 49ers. He should not even entertain the idea. Miami Herald reports have been gaining momentum the past couple weeks as Carroll himself denies them. "I haven't been contacted by them at all, and I'm not interested," he told Miami Herald reporters Jan..6. If he were to take another chance in the NFL, he probably would fail again. The college dynamic and the NFL game are too different for coaches to make a successful jump from one to the other. Players at colleges are typically more willing to do anything necessary to please the coach, win and make the pros. Athletes who are highly paid professionals and who have already made it to the big leagues would be more likely to dissent in many cases. According to the same Miami Herald article, Carroll witnessed this while head coach of the New England Patriots After the loss to the Steelers in the American Football Conference playoffs his first year at the helm, his team fell apart in the locker room with the defense blaming the offense for the loss. From that point on, Carroll could not bring the team back together. In his next two years as head coach, the team continued to fall short of the Super Bowl with disappointing records. Criticisms about Carroll being too friendly and personable circulated in the media at the time that word got out about Carroll's potential career change. At the college level, friendly goes far when in constant contact with the players. In the NFL, being friendly lasted Carroll four weeks. For the first four weeks of his initial season with the Patriots, the team won every game. After that, the team was mediocre at best. According to a Jan. 9 article in Maine Today, Carroll attributed the team's generally poor performances to his lack of control over the Patriots. Carroll also had one season as head coach of the New York Jets. It was a losing situation as well. At USC, Carroll has a talented roster he employs perfectly. If he were to coach the. 49ers, however, the roster would look like a young and raw team with many free agents. They are not a good match. From 1995 to 1996, Carroll was the defensive coordinator for the 49ers, so he is no stranger to the organization. The owner of the 49ers, John York, seems set on Carroll. According to a Jan. 6 article in The Los Angeles Times, the cause of the initial speculation in the first place was York coming out and listing off Carroll's resume as qualities he wanted in his new head coach. He mentioned that the candidate must have NFL experienceâ€”not necessarily successful NFL head-coaching experience â€” and he must come from a winning program. Carroll fits on all fronts. Carroll's return to San Francisco and the NFL would be convenient. He has accomplished everything but winning a Super Bowl and is not content with being labeled as a "college-only" coach. Carroll also has backing from several 49ers alumni. It almost sounds perfect But it should not happen. Even if he were interested in the position, Carroll should stay in the college game. He has breathed hew life into the program at USC. He has proven his abilities with back- to- back titles coaching the Trojans. Though Carroll's approach fits college football perfectly, it does not translate to wins on the professional level. "(Carroll is) the most dynamic coach in all of football right now," Bill Walsh, former 49ers head coach, wrote in a Jan. 5 article in The Los Angeles Times. The question is this: Should the most dynamic coach in football be coaching some of the most dynamic players in football right now? No. Not right now. "I'm having so much fun that I can't imagine living without that," Carroll said in the same Jan. 6 interview: If he is wise, he will not have to. Stick with USC, Pete. Hawks: Shoddy pass ends the season CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 they lose after this, it will rank up there as one of the worst losses in team history. 20-17 Seattle, 14:43 4th quarter. (Programming note; Theismann just compared' Mark Bulger pass into double-coverage to a Michael Jordan jump shot. I think that may be rthV worst analogy since someone compared the Seahawks to a car.) 4:21 p.m. I think I just saw Phil Luckett tag-team into the game to flag Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant for the team's fourth "illegal contact penalty." Here we go, the bandwagon's gears are slipping... 4:24 p.m. The Rams kick a field goal and we're all knotted up. 20- 20 tie, 8:07 4th quarter. 4:30 p.m. With just more than six minutes in the game, Hasselbeck faces a big third and seven on his own 46. I liked his "We're going to get the ball and we're going to score" proclamation in last year's playoffs, but a lot of people didn't. A big drive here could erase those memories. So what does he do? Throws behind Jackson. Seahawks punt. 4:40p. m. The Rams have the ball in scoring position, third and three, just before the two-minute warning. Bulger hits tight end Cameron Cleeland for ;a touchdown. It's only fitting a guy who only caught seven passes all season comes up big against the Seahawks. 27-20 St. .Louis;2:ll 4th quarter; A Â«â€¢ (Programming note: Theismann just said the Seahawks aieed to* "catch the football" to come back in this game. T disagree. I think they need Michael Jordan to come in and shoot jump shots.) 4:46p.m. With the Seahawks on the move with less than two minutes to play, D-Jack lets a would-be first down catch go through his hands and then makes a grab on the next play that brings the Seahawks the 25-yard line. 4:50 p.m. After Hasselbeck took a sack and misfired on a pass, he hits Engram, who gets down to the 5 with 27 seconds remaining, setting up what could be the Seahawks' last offensive play of the game. Have the Seahawks ever won an important game in this fashion? 4:52 p.m. If they have, it wasn't today. It appeared as if Hasselbeck had a chance to run the ball in, but he sidearmed a throw to Engram, who dropped the ball falling to the turf. The catch would have been remarkable had Engram come down with itâ€”but how fitting that the Seahawks' season ended with a ball :felling;to the Jurf after hitting the receiver's hands, r -^ Th^crowd is stunned. Hasselbeck is pounding his fists into the ground. Holmgren looks as if he just saw a car accident â€”. and in a sense, he did. The Seahawks players and coaches brought their fans to the brink of ecstasy and then stalled inches from the finish line. The "uh-oh" moments in this game didn't completely define the outcome â€” the Seahawks still had a chance to win in the game's final. minute. But sloppy play to end the first half, questionable calls and opponents as determined as Holt don't usually add up to playoff wins. All that's left to do is tow the bandwagon to the shop and fix it up for the July drive over the mountains to Camp Cheney.

First, to the general population, the election is over. It was a_ long time ago. Bush won and 52 percent of the United States is ecstatic, according to CNN.com. The other 48 percent are still bitter about having to apologize to the rest of the world. Some backpacks still advertise a candidate but no upcoming election means their patches are old news. But regardless of which candidate a person voted for, wearing any sort of Bush or Kerry !- â€¢ paraphernalia is not going to change anything at all â€” so take it off.

Wearing a fleece and ripped - jeans with Stilettos just doesn't work â€” it's mixing two extremely different looks. The same applies to wearing chandelier earrings with a hooded sweatshirt. It's like mixing ice cream with chili â€” the combination of which is a recipe for becoming ill. Another obscene sight on campus is girls wearing a miniskirt in the middle of winter. Sure, they accent the outfit with furry Ugg boots, but face it â€” it's 32 degrees outside and with the wind chill factored in, it feels more like five. No matter how attractive the girl is, red thighs and blue lips are not hot. This is simply not the appropriate time of year for see FASHION, page 15 Beware the danger of genetically modified food AMANDA RAPHAEL In the year 2000, more than 300 kinds of chips, cornmeal, tacos and other foods were recalled in the United States for fear that the genetically modified corn used to make them would be harmful. Starlink, the manufacturer, had not gained approval from the Food and Drug Administration for human use of the corn and had accidentally contaminated the nation's com supply. Itchy rashes, raised blood pressure and anaphylactic shock were just some of the allergic reactions reported. But corn is just one of many genetically modified crops produced in the United States and the rest of the world. Little is known about the long-term effects these alterations could have on humans, other plant species and the agriculture industry. Before people can rely on them as a solution to pests and low crop yields, they should know how they might affect them in the future. According to the Alliance for Bio^Integrity, no evidence exists that genetically modified crops have passed all of the FDA's crucial safety tests. According to the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology, the United States is the largest producer of genetically modified foods; following are Argentina, Canada and Brazil. Genetically modified crops are planted on more than 167 million acres throughout theworld. -.- According to a study by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, more than 60 percent of all processed foods in the United States contains ingredients from genetically modified corn, soybeans or canola. Genetically modified "Roundup-Ready Soybeans," which were altered to resist the popular herbicide Roundup, contain the chemical glyphosate, which the plants release and pollute the surrounding groundwater. Also, little research has been done regarding the reaction of the neighboring environments and animals that surround them. A study by Cornell University showed that 44 percent of monarch butterfly caterpillars died when fed pollen from genetically modified corn. Genetically modified foods have had their DNA altered to resist pests, diseases and sometimes to create higher crop yields. This sounds like a perfect solution for farmers â€” their crops can kill pests on their own and are strongerandmoreresilienttomanyviruses.But, according to the Genetic Society of America, see MODIFIED page 15 Interested in being a ADVfSOR Â© Do you: Ocare about your health and your community?

Bush announced his renewed campaign to limit the amount of damages a person can collect in the event of a medical malpractice lawsuit. The Washington State Medical Association, the American Medical Association and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners have echoed this mission by backing initiative 330 for the November 2005 ballot in Washington State. They claim the initiative will protect patients' access to care by maximizing the amount of money patients receive and create a $350,000 limit for non-economic damages, or monetary compensation for pain and suffering, according to the WSMA's Web site. If the Republican-controlled U.S. Congress adopts Bush's plan, it would further limit the amount of pain and suffering damages to $250,000. But it also would deny citizens the due process â€” in this case, the ability to punish large medical companies or doctors in the event of malpractice. In addition, it will most likely lower the overall quality of health care by creating a disincentive for doctors to take more preventative measures. It's just basic economics. Even Bush's Council of Economic Advisers said last year, "The ability of the individual to pursue a liability lawsuit in the event of an improper treatment... provides an additional incentive for the physician to follow good medical practice." What's worse is it could ultimately result in physicians making strategic decisions based on the hypothetical chances of litigation â€” decisions that ultimately could result in risking a patient's safety to save costs. Proponents of this initiative, such as the WSMA, argue that doctors are "hanging by their stethoscopes," financially, so to speak, as a result of skyrocketing malpractice suits that are forcing them to close their doors, leave the state or shift costs onto the patients. But according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, a commission that advises Congress, the average increase in insurance rates as a result of malpractice suits was only 4.4 percent per year. And a 2001 Physician Insurers Association of America study found that nearly all patients and their lawyers eventually withdraw their malpractice claims. In addition, the study found the total amount of claims filed has decreased along with the median jury award â€” which decreased by 30 percent in 2002. Citizens of Washington state should see malpractice suit reform for what it is â€” a propaganda effort aimed at misleading people into believing ambulance-chasing attorneys are bringing up a plethora of frivolous lawsuits â€” and should vote to keep the power of deciding the outcomes of malpractice suits in the hands of elected judges rather than in the hands of private organizations that stand to benefit from it financially.

WHAT5U Council was right to ban use of Tasers TREVOR SWEDBERG The Bellingham City Council's Dec. 16 6- 1 vote to pass an ordinance prohibiting the use of Taser guns among civilians doesn't correct the real problem at hand. The council needs to take a step back and see that the majority of Taser abuse in this country is coming from those who brought the ordinance forward in the first place â€” the police. According to Taser International, a market leader in non-lethal weapons, Tasers use compressed nitrogen to fire two probes into clothing or the skin and instantly conduct an electric current, effectively incapacitating the target. Unfortunately, law-enforcement agencies repeatedly have shown that they don't have the restraint to use these powerful weapons in a responsible manner. Taser guns are termed non- lethal weapons, but according to a November 2004 report by Amnesty International, 69 people have died from being shocked with Tasers by police since the year 2000. The probes are connected to the Taser device by an insulated wire. An electrical signal is then transmitted through the wires to where the probes make contact with the body or clothing, resulting in an immediate loss of the person's neuromuscular control, according to the organization. These guns pack a wallop, too. According to Taser International, the so-called "electrical signal" transmitted is actually 50,000 volts of electricity â€” roughly five times the equivalent of peeing on an electric fence. Sure, it was probably a smart move to take these dangerous electroshock weapons away from see FATAL, page 16 Tasers should be legal with restrictions to penetrate five centimeters of clothing. Through the years, Tasers commonly have served as law-enforcement weapons but are steadily falling into the hands of the public, = = = = = MICHELLE ACOSTA The Bellingham City Council passed an ordinance 6-1 on Dec. 16 that would ban city residents from owning Tasers, a non-lethal gun that has a capacity to deliver 50,000 volts of electricity and inhibit an individual from movement. The council cited a lack in training and proper use. But rather than banning Tasers from the public, it should have restricted use to those who have passed proper background checks and obtained licenses. According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation News Online Web site, a shot from 6.5 meters away is strong enough according to the Web site. This means anyone can have access to Tasers. The main issue is accessibility. In areas outside Bellingham, weapons are available "The same safety procedures (that apply to guns) should be implemented for ownership of Tasers." these online for as low as $1,000, allowing ownership to virtually anyone, regardless of intent or maturity. In such states as Missouri and Illinois, ownership of Tasers are legal and do not require permits or background checks, according to the site.

After an October 2004 announcement of tainted flu vaccines in a British manufacturing plant, Americans began to panic over a possible vaccine shortage. According to a Jan. 1 article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, however, 30,000 adult doses and 40,000 pediatric doses are still available. Now clinics have those unused vaccines. Some may say that having a surplus of flu vaccines is a good thing. This is true, but not if those vaccines are going to waste. The flu vaccine, which is given yearly, minimizes the symptoms of the virus in affected people.

Individuals with top priority for the vaccine include children six to 23 months and adults older than 65 as well as anyone who suffers from a chronic medical condition. With the announcement of the shortage, high-risk patients had to face the harsh truth that for the first time in years they might not " away. Hospitals are supposed to help patients, not deny them service. While citizens were concerned about receiving the vaccine, numerous senators received the shot. According to a recent Seattle Post Intelligencer article, Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn and Md., made his office into a clinic and offered flu shots to other senators. While it is true that government men and women are in constant contact with people â€” shaking hands and kissing babies â€” their health should not be put before the health of the common people. Perfectly healthy men and women should not be receiving the vaccine when children and the elderly who need protection from the flu are denied it. Hope, however, still exists for those in search of the vaccine. According to the Victoria Clipper's Web site, the Clipper offers a flu package, including a round-trip ticket to Victoria, B.C. from Seattle and a flu shot. The ticket price, including the vaccine, is $150. The fact that American citizens find it necessary to travel to Canada in hopes of being injected is depressing and speaks volumes about the viability of the United States' medical system. Now, after three months since the flu shot debacle, and the CDC's limitations still in place, clinics have found themselves with a surplus of unused vaccine. Even with a surplus, drug distributors have yet to broaden the definition of those considered high risk. Patients not fitting this definition are unable to receive the available vaccines. High-risk patients fitting within the limitations who have not received their shots probably are still under the impression that no vaccines are available. In addition, clinics with the unused vaccines need to try and contact as many high-risk patients as possible before the vaccines expire. The college setting is a prime place for the flu virus to spread quickly. If students were unable to receive a vaccine and are unwilling to travel to Canada, the CDC suggests avoiding close contact with other people, staying home if the flu virus arises and cleaning hands regularly. Modified: Bio-engineered crops more prone to disease CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 genetically modified plants, because of the reduction in their gene diversity, can actually be more susceptible to invasion by a single powerful pathogen. Even if a crop is genetically engineered to repel a specific disease or pest, it is possible that a virus the crop was not modified to repel could wipe out the entire crop. In addition, these altered plants are producing bacteria and toxins to kill insects. It is possible those same toxins will have negative long- term health effects on humans who eat these foods. Genetically modified crops have only been produced and consumed widely since 1996 and, as a result, information is scarce as to health hazards in the future. So far, only a few cases of negative human health effects' have surfaced, but scientists are unsure of their long-term effects. According to a study by the World Health Organization, it is not yet possible to make any general statements on the safety of all modified crops. Proponents argue for their economical benefits â€” the possibility of better-quality foods and the ability to increase food production to match growing world populations.

Research done by the University of Nebraska in 2001 found consistent yield decreases with the Monsanto Company's Roundup-Ready soybean seeds. The study found farmers faced yield losses between 5 and 10 percent when compared to conventional seeds. Bioengineering companies that hope their patented species will produce higher yields that could someday be able to ease hunger in less developed countries. But according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Association, food according to the UNFAA. Before bio-engineered crops can be assumed safe for consumption, many questions still need to be answered and tests performed to ensure that they are safe to humans, animals and the environment. So far, the negative effects have outweighed the benefits. Crop yields are not higher in most cases and the herbicides produced by the gentically- modified crops harm the surrounding environment and make the crops themselves more susceptible to.foreign viruses. Most importantly, the danger to human health in the future is simply unknown. reasons, which is- why background checks and restrictions are applied and strictly emphasized. If Tasers were allowed to be sold to the public without proper background checks, someone as dangerous as a criminal could easily attain these stun guns and use it for immoral reasons. A Canadian study conducted in 1989 found that pigs with pacemakers were susceptible to heart attack because of the use of stun guns. Ten years later, an American study concluded that people with heart conditions receiving volts of electricity weaker than Tasers could result in cardiac arrest, according to CBC's Web site. Certainly, a Taser shot of 50,000 volts could increase those chances. While there is no evidence of death by Tasers, it still is a harmful weapon if used improperly by the wrong person. Banning Tasers altogether could be like taking away a person's only form of self-defense. Some people truly need it in order to feel safe, others might not take the effect and dangers of the weapon seriously and use it as a toy. But those are the kinds of people who don't deserve to own one. As with personal handguns, only those who qualify based on firm restrictions deserve to own such a weapon.

And don't forget those easily excitable Republicans who lock and load whenever the all-knowing government raises the homeland-security level from salmon to burnt sienna. So maybe it is wise to take a proactive approach and keep these powerful weapons out of the hands of the public. But the fact of the matter is Johnny Knoxville and George W. Bush don't tase people â€” police tase people. Bellingham police and the Whatcom County Sheriff's officers are among 6,000 law enforcement agencies throughout the country that have equipped some or all of their officers with the pistol-styled ===== devices, according to a Dec. 16 Bellingham Herald article. According to FreeRepublic.com, a same site, Miami-Dade police zapped a 12-year-old girl who tried to run from them after she was caught skipping school.

Seattle was fortunate to avoid any fatal shootings in 2004, a job well done. But other, less violent means are able to achieve this goal. The threat of pepper spray can be just as intimidating and certainly less dangerous. Forthose who argue thatBellingham's new ordinance is a violation of the Second Amendment right, the right to bear arms, the clear rebuttal is this: Times have changed â€” and the laws need to change with them. Redcoats and scallywags are no longer a threat, so put down the guns. The power of these guns obviously isn't being taken seriously enough, which necessitates a ban of this weapon from not only civilian, but also police use.

This year, people also should avoid posing as a walking â€¢ â€¢ advertisement. All too often, Abercrombie and Fitch receives free publicity by selling a sweatshirt for $50 that has two letters and an ampersand on it. "Just because you can afford to wear logos head to toe doesn't mean you need to wear them for the entire world to see," said Deanna McFadden and Nadine Silverthorn, hosts for British Broadcasting Corporation's show, "What Not to Wear." "We suggest 'Stick to basics and adapt attire daily based on how frozen the ground looks.' keeping all labels on the inside of your clothes, but if you must brand yourself like cattle, keep your Tommy's, Ralph's your (Louis Vuitton's) to one item of _ clothing only." Birkenstocks seem to be a popular choice among students, but barefoot is more stylish than wearing them with socks. "Birkenstocks not Birks and socks," McFadden and Silverthorn said. "There's a place for Birks and socks â€” it's at the cottage, where no one can see you." The worst, however, is socks and flip flops. At least with Birkenstocks and socks, toes don't get cracked into unnatural positions as they do with thongs. But wearing any type of sandal between November and April should be avoided altogether. Some will argue that no one who attends Western cares enough to notice what anyone else is wearing. Those people are either too high, hung over or busy dealing with the inverse of logarithms to realize what their peers are wearing. A person's attire is arguably the first thing people notice about one another. Western appears to represent a majority of styles, but to avoid being seen as fashion roadkill, stick to the basics and adapt attire daily based on how frozen the ground looks. l l i e Westerii FircMit Online pur articles by feedback dnlitie; wwwwesteinniro BUY YOUR TEXT Zi9l9 AirHALF.COM How great is this?
