The Western Front January 26,1990 Volume 82, Number 4 Western Washington University pleaserecycle Demonstrators cleanse flags in protest of war By Linda Dahlstrom staff reporter "No morebombs, no more war, U.S. out of El Salvador," chanted protesters, hoping to send a message toCongress by washing flags and chaining themselves to the doors of the Federal Building as Congressreconvened on Tuesday morning. "We're here to tell them it's time for a change. Let's take this moneybuying death in Central America and use it to support life," said Carol Dunavin. "Our best hopes andbrightest dreams lie dead with bullets paid for by U.S. taxes." The United States provides $1.5 milliondollars of aid each day, enabling the government of El Salvador to wage a 10-year civil war in which70,000 to 74,000 civilians have been killed and 7,000 disappeared, according to El Rescate HumanRights Department in Los Angeles. Protesters washed 11 flags and hung them on a clothesline to dry,symbolizing the need for the U.S. to cleanse itself of the inhumanity and injustice it financially supportsin Central American countries. "Our flag can no longer be flown with dignity. It is stained deeply andbloodied with the blood of 72,000 Salvadorans," Dunavin said. "We wash the flag as a vision that policies will change and we will no longer be involved in a dirty war." Shirley Osterhaus, of the Shalom Center,said the American flag is a symbol of oppression and exploitation for many people in CentralAmerica, not of passion and freedom. "The U.S. government is heavily invested in a war against the poor. (U.S. aid supports) drug trafficking, rigging elections and a disinformation campaign," she said. "Acountry that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself," Osterhaus said. After the flag washing, some of the protesters chained themselves to the doors of the Federal Building. Policearrested eight people in an attempt to clear one of the side doors, and cut the chains off of all theprotesters, who then sat or stood in front of the doors. Darcy Utterback, Peace Resource CenterCoordinator, said one of the protest's goals was See Protest on page 2 David RubertTThe Western Front Patricia Sage was one of eight protesters arrested during a demostration calling for the end to U.S.funded death squads in Central America. Court case steals attention of flag-wash The protest on Tuesday happened to coincide with jury selection for the Earl Shriner case â€” the man charged with mutilatinga Tacoma boy. The organizers of the protest did not know jury selection for the Shriner case would betaking place on the day of the protest. "None of the organizers knew about it," said Steve Hill, one of theorganizers of the demonstration. "I didn't know about it until I saw the car pull up and him (Shriner) getout. They (police) decided the day before to move (the case) to the Federal Building. They knew we werehaving the protest, they could've notified us ahead of "time to coordinate it," Hill said. "This confusionis now taking attention away from the main issue of El Salvador and Central America." Osterhausadded emphatically "we had absolutely no idea (that Shriner would be there). Our action was a very clearstatement about U.S. involvement in dirty wars." Utterback said the protest obviously had nothing to dowith the Shriner case. Nancy Welch and Lucy Colvin blocked one of the entrances to the Federal Building during the Jan. 23 protest against U.S. policies in Central America. Films cause controversy By VickiStevens staff reporter Heavy breathing is associated with a lot of things, and this time a few people arefairly hot and bothered about a March film series entitled Heavy Breathing Week. The AssociatedStudents Sexual Minorities Center and the AS Women's Center are opposed to several aspects of Heavy Breathing Week. Topher Jerome, coordinator of the Sexual Minority Center, said his office has a problem primarily with the film to be shown March 15, entitled "The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant." Jeromehasn't seen the film, but he said the description on the poster advertising the film is detrimental to thecenter's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. The film description reads, "Fassbinder's (the director) most controversial work, the story deals with the shifting power relationship among threelesbians: A successful fashion designer, her slave girl and a sultry model who makes the master a slave. Accompanied with the music of Verdi and the Platters, these women act out a melodrama ofsadomasochistic passion." He said he doesn't know for sure if the film is negative toward lesbians, but,just from the film description, he says sadomasochism is being related to lesbians. Jerome said thisdescription reinforces negative attitudes people have about homosexuality. He said he supportspeople's right to see films of this nature, but it is a poor representation of lesbian relationships. "Weneed to focus on the fact there are very caring, loving, nurturing same-sex couples," he said. ChrisNinaud, co-coordinator of the AS Cross-Cul-tural Center, chose the international films for campus films,including the film Jerome is worried about. Ninaud defended his decision to show the film and welcomesdiscussion of the film. "I believe this film deals with a controversial subject," he said. "It deals withdomination in relationships, which everyone should learn something about. "I would be worried if therewasn't controversy about it," Ninaud said.

Under Guatemala's U.S. supported government over 150 death squad assassinations amonth. According to the International Red Cross, over 2,000 Panamanian civilians were killed in theU.S. invasion of Panama. Figures recently released by Salvadoran Security Forces show, in 1989alone, 60,446 people were captured. One fourth of the Salvadoran population has been displaced orare refugees, said El Rescate Human Rights Department. The United States actions against Nicaraguaand the funding of the Contras have been denounced as violations of international law by the UnitedNations, the World Court and the Organization of American States, according to a pamphlet publishedby the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, The Pledge of Resistance and Western'sPeace Resource Center. Those entering the Federal Building had to step on or over protesters to getpast; David Mortenson's leg was apparently deliberately stepped on by a heavy man as he entered forjury selection. Mortenson said the pain he felt being stepped on was insignificant in comparison to thesuffering in Central America. "There are human beings being killed and there's no point in it," he said."This Federal Building and our government supports it." The Bellingham protest was one of manyhappening across the nation as Congress reconvened. The crowd of protesters was a mixed group drawn together for a common cause. Among them were high school and college students, families with smallchildren, professors, laborers and the very young and old, Amanda Tremblay, 10, was at the protestwith her mother, Swan Eagle. Her mother was one of those blocking the doors to the Federal Buildingand prepared to be arrested. "I think it's really good what she's doing,"Tremblay said. "She's trying tosave people (in Central America). There are a lot of problems going on. You can't just ignore it." Oneof those arrested, Western senior Johnny Wilson, a political science major, said he sees the protestas a good way to draw attention to and make people think about those in Central America. "If I wasdoing the same thing in El Salvador, I probably wouldn't have even seen a police car. I could've been justshot at and killed. If I were arrested, chances are I'd be in a holding cell being tortured rather thansinging 'Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen.'" Those arrested were: Patricia Sage, Steve Powers, ErinMarden, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Nancy Welch, Johnny Wilson and Judt Shrode. A country that exports oppression will one day release oppression against itself. Tremblay was also with her mother when shewas arrested for blocking the street in November's protest U.S.. policy in El Salvador. "It seemed scary . . . you hear about people being disappeared in El Salvador. When she got arrested, I didn't know if she'd come back," Tremblay said. Roger Grahn said he was protesting because about $3,000 dollars of his money goes to taxes used each year for buying guns that the Salvadoran government uses against its people. "My tax dollars support that. I can't deal with it," Grahn said. Jo Taber pointed out that thecurrent situation with the U.S. supporting a civil war in El Salvador is reminiscent of Vietnam. "(Thedifference) in El Salvador and Vietnam is now we don't send soldiers, we pay the government to kill theirown people. Our tax dollars murder children, babies and grandparents," Jo Taber said. "The people inCentral America are doing everything they can. It's up to the people in the U.S. to do everything wecan to stop U.S. intervention. The people of Central America are really counting on us for that," LisaPetkc said. Breathe Continued from page 1 Blake said the description of the Fassbinder filmperpetuates the stereotype of homosexuality as weird and perverse. "What about the people who justread the film description and don't see the play?" she asked. "It just plays into stereotypes." If thepurpose of the film was to show dominance in relationships, a heterosexual couple would have been abetter teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals, Blake said.Blake also is opposed to the timing of Heavy Breathing Week because the films will be shown the weekbefore finals. She says there won't be enough time for adequate campus discussion of the subject matter because the films will be forgotten during spring break. She said in order for the films to beeducational, they should be shown earlier in the quarter to allow for discussion. Blake also questionedwhether or not it is necessary to show pornography.

Many members of the band are students or graduates of Western, most of whom beganin Western's music department. Many Dread regulars showed support for the band during their largestand best-liked performance at Bumbershoot 1989. "It was the biggest gig we played where we saw somany Bellingham regulars," Hendow said. As a result of performing at Bumbershoot, the bands firstsingle "Military Man" appeared on the compilation CD "Best of the Northwest," which also includessongs from various blues and jazz artists and the Defenders. "In the last year and a half, we've gottenso popular, we've become Bellingham's little darling," Hendow said. "It's really a nice thing for us ...but I don't know if any of us aspire to mega-super stardom." However, Hendow did not question theband's potential for becoming a college band like the Crazy 8's, touring on school circuits. The Dread's first album, "One Look at You," has helped to finance and produce its new single and upcomingalbum, which is due out in the late spring of this year. "It's a big money pit. Beer gets dumped on yourfavorite guitar or on your amp, stuff gets broken, you need money for transportation. You have to eat andyou have to sleep somewhere," Hendow said. "We end up making the same amount of money as wespend trying to make new recordings," he said. Long, grueling practices, performing feverishly ill, orplaying with a sprained finger are only a few of the hardships the band has had to face. "It's a lot of workto rehearse all week long and play for five hours straight, whether you want to or not," Turpin said."Sometimes you just don't want to play." Despite difficult playing conditions, the underlying factorswhich have kept the band together for so long are the strong and constant friendship between themembers and their love of music. "It's kind of like having an extended family," Hendow said. "I spendmore time with the band than I ever spent with a girlfriend or a job or on my own homework. It's become a big commitment of time, but it's still fun." Members of The Almighty Dread are trumpet player,percussionist and backing vocals Dave Cole, drummer Dalton Davis, bass player and backing vocalsGary Haden, trombone player and percussionist Phil Helms, guitarist and backing vocals Hendow, sax and flute player Phil Nakano, lead vocalist Andy Oliver and key-board player Turpin. The Almighty Dread will be performing Jan. 23 and 24 at the Backstage Tavern and at Parkers in Seattle. The Dread will also open for british reggae band, Linton Knesie Johnson, March 30 at the Commodore Ballroom inVancouver, B.C..

The current exhibit is no exception. The show, called The Fifth Floor, is a collaboration ofnine different artists using different mediums. "I really like to see group art like this," gallery spectatorTheresa Wingert said. "This show has special meaning to me because I saw it all before it wasdisplayed." Two items in the exhibit standout. The first, a large blue object called "A remodeling of thebridal suite," is displayed against the south wall. Two blue lights illuminate the object giving the wholepiece an eerie fluorescent shine. It portrays a ladder with an oar leaning against it and a horse jumpingover the bottom rung. The other portion consists of a large building with different objects surrounding it. The second one in the blue series is the exhibit most people come to see. It is called "The Angel andthe Hartebeast." A small child with horns sprouting from its eyes is portrayed hanging from a cross.Behind the child is some vile monster called the Hartebeast. "This is bizarre," one observer said. Mypersonal favorite exhibits were the steel sculptures by Bill Baber. He uses steel as his medium to sculpt scary or funny configurations. The first is called "We're All Held Hostage." It contains frighteninglooking steel pieces with spikes on top with a twisted inter-looping configuration in the shape of a mazein the middle. The second is a funny, unorganized home called "Our Home Is Not In Order." Inside thefeatured large, house structure is a montage of objects jumbled togetherin no apparent order orreason. While I don't know Baber's intended meaning in this piece, it could be representative ofunorganized, yet fun family life. His final sculpture is represented in the middle of the gallery. Theimpressive-looking chest armor called "Whale Guard: Armor for a Modern Hero," looks like it came rightout of ihe time of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. All of Baber's pieces represent a clear portrayal of the way the world is: violent, harsh and mean, yet happy, warm and family oriented. Thepaintings included in the â€¢ exhibition were mostly pastel-colored oils by Paul Young, Lucinda H.Green and others. Though the comment book in the gallery shows mostly positive feedback, a wholerange of opinions is represented. Many comments commended the exhibit's fantastic range andcreativity, while one person went so far as to compare it with the exhibit to the occult. The exhibit willrun until Feb. 2.

By The Accent Editors Kurt and I have been busy answering the phones. Peoplehave been seeing President Mortimer everywhere. Some the readers of this fine publication have a hell of an imagination. Though some of the reports may seem incredible, others seem pretty boring, butall are true as they were relayed to us. We didn't make any of this shit up. Wednesday Jan. 17 Onecaller reported a possible Mortimer sighting at Stewart Anderson's Square Cow Fun Bar. The alleged Mort was wearing a green, red and blue Hawaiian shirt and dancing. We asked if he was a good dancer. "I don't know," answered the informant."He was just...out there. I think he was bummiri' cigarettes too." Friday, Jan. 19 A man driving by a house on Toledo Street said he saw a Mortimer drive his Saab 900into the garage. As Mortimer closed the garage door, the man said he was able to see the president's as he left the Saab.. Friday, Jan. 20 We received a letter from a man who said he saw two-inch tallcreature who introduced himself as "Ken." He said the life-form was wearing a non-descrip blue suit.The man stated he didn't know why Ken was on his bed, but believed it had something to do with amessage scrawled across his bathroom wall thatread,"Graffiti is a form of property defacement!" Sunday, Jan. 21 Mortimer was spotted in the First Presbyterian church. The man reporting the sightingsaid,"Mortimer and his wife came in and sat down and left when the service was overâ€” just like normalfolk." Tuesday, Jan. 23 We received three Mortimer sightings from people who said he was at thewomen's basketball game. He was said to be wearing a brown suit and was accompanied by a womanthe caller thought was Mortimer's wife One observer said he was making Arsenic^ Hall, "Whoops," yell.Post Script Kurt and I (and especially, we guess, Ken) image readers are growing weary of this MortReport business. So, hey, bribe us and we'll stop. We don' t have much money and this job doesn'tpay squat, so a couple of cases of good imported beer will probably keep us quiet for awhile. Thinkabout it.

Shortly after the Supreme Court said it was a right guaranteed to U.S. citizens, conservativepoliticians pushed a law through Congress making it illegal to burn the American flag. Apparently freedom only extends so far in America. Upper-class conservative mothers would like to put labels on recordsthey feel are too graphic for teens. Apparently parents and their children are lacking in the ability to make thoughtful decisions on their own. Right-wing religious fanatics picketed "The Last Temptation of Christ,"a movie which dared to portray the life of Christ in a manner contrary to their beliefs. Apparently theybelieve it too dangerous for people to entertain doubt about Jesus' lack of a sex-drive. Obviously they feelthe viewer is unable to say, "It's only a movie," if he or she is unhappy with the movie's ideas. Most of thefanatics didn't even see the movie in question. It only goes to show that the same silly conflicts willsurface perpetually. In March, Western's Heavy Breathing Week will feature three soft-porn movies. TheAS Sexual Minorities Center Coordinator Topher Jerome said the description of one of the films isdetrimental to the center's goal of breaking stereotypes about homosexuals. Jerome said if the purposeof the film was to show dominance in a relationships, a heterosexual couple would be a better teaching tool because it would cause less damage to the image of homosexuals. We have a couple of problemswith Jerome's line of thinking. First, he hasn't even seen the film. This is the kind of misdirected effortwhich really impairs a free society. Hunters have a motto Jerome should consider: "Be sure of yourtarget." No matter how valid his arguments, Jerome's case is greatly weakened by his admittedignorance. Second, and just as important, we cannot walk on eggshells around issues concerning sexual minorities. While acceptance of gay and lesbian couples is something society should work towards, itisn't going to happen if we hide in a closet. People that want to censor films, books, records and burningthe flag don't think the masses are intelligent enough to make independent decisions and distinctions.They think people should be spoon-fed the information they receive. The desire for censorship is amanifestation of prejudices within ourselves â€” the same sort of prejudices we try to combat. TimothyK.

Americans, particularly kids, have good reason to be disappointed withtheir idols. What a letdown when a baseball legend gambles on his team. What a joke when the winner of a beauty pageant shows up in a back issue of Playboy. And what a moral blow to our nation when afrontiersman in minority leadership goes up in a cloud of narcotics. Hey big shots! This just isn't cool.So, when the chips are down and the celebrities are too, where do we turn for our role models? What kind of hero is left? I think I found some answers in the Bellingham International Airport this winter.Standing in baggage claims, nearly comatose with post-flight nausea, I gained consciousness enough tonote a group of well-dressed, rather tall men waiting nearby. Always on the look-out for suchcharacteristics, I watched them quietly mill around with other adults and among themselves. Two ofthem were playing a game with a little boy who obviously adored them. It finally occurred to me that theywere 'shooting hoop,' as they should be, since they were members of the Western men's basketball team returning from a winter break game. I continued watching the team and heard them joke with an airportattendant who handled our bags. The attendant knew each of these local heroes by name. Perhaps hehad memorized their statistics. Then I watched them play with the boy again, lifting him up to' dunk' andgiving him the necessary low version of a 'high five.' It may seem dweebish, but I was in awe. It was thesame feeling I experienced when an Associated Students board member helped me tack up posters,when a member of the women's volleyball team held open a door for just a second longer to let mepass or when I saw the professor of my sociology class pick up a napkin off the coffee shop floor. Thesewere local/campus 'important people' standing near me, participating in daily rites with the samecourtesy and method of any other fool. Definitely cool. The basketball players were personalities. Theyhad the means to screw up and, if they did so, the influence to create havoc. Just like the professor, thevolleyball player and lots of others. Yet they refused to abuse this. Recognizing their responsibility ascelebrities, they set an example. Recognizing their responsibility as people, they just plain behaved.There are real heroes left in the world. We know them because they do the right thing. Castration will notstop sexual violence Attitudes need castration not bodies M Julie Fancey staff reporter any men aregrabbing then-groins in sympathy over current legislation that calls for castration of sex offenders.This legislation and the outrage it stirs is off-target. They've missed the point. The so-called quick fix ofcastration offers no solution to sexual violence. Castration means the removal of the testicles only, notthe penis. This procedure may decrease sexual desire, but it guarantees nothing. It does not ensureimpotency or the inability to maintain an erection. This surgical procedure addresses the issue from asexual standpoint. Locking onto castration as a weapon against rape makes the assumption that rape isa crime of passion. Not so. It is a crime of violence. We are dealing with an issue of power, not a sexualevent. The sexual act is not what satisfies a rapist, it is the act of domination and control over anotherperson. What we need to do is get back on track about what leads to sexual violence. We need tocastrate attitudes that create an environment which excuses sexual violence against women. There isa feeling that these attitudes exist in someone else's backyard, not ours. It is in our backyard. In thepast month I have heard these comments from male students on campus: One student was constantlysaying: If a fat and ugly woman is being raped, she might as well lie back and enjoy it because it willprobably be her only chance of getting laid. Another student was joking about a woman he saw. Heencouraged his friend by saying: Rape her. She wants to be raped. These attitudes set up women forviolence. Rape is not a joke: Rape is not sex. Rape is violence. Nobody wants to be raped and nobody is lucky when they're raped. When a man is raped, do other men think it is a joke? Do they consider itsex? Do they consider the victim as being lucky or asking for it? Why is it different if the victim is awoman? Why should our attitudes about women end up harming them? Most women don't viewthemselves as weak, childish, sexual objects or property. Why should men view women in such anegative way? It's time to stop thinking that surgically removing an organ would solve sexual violence. It'stime to castrate the root of the problem â€” our attitudes. ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, January 26,1990 The Western Front 7 Â«** o^ WKM^^ VB'3 Letters * 300 words or less * mustbe typed, double space must include name, address and phone number for verification * address andphone numbers will not be printed 8 Buses to Campus each hour!

I understand that your news staff is considered to be the best college staff in the Pacific Northwest. Yet when I see articles with repeated use of offensive language, I must reservemy opinion about your greatness. The writers' frequent use of obscenities saddens me. When swearwords creep into your articles with regularity, everyone becomes desensitized to such language.Certainly, we all know these words. We learned them in the playground when we were in first grade.With maturity, one learns appropriate use of such language. As writers, you should be challenged toseek the precise word to fit the circumstances. As college students, you have the opportunity toexpand your vocabulary instead of limiting yourselves to the same old phrases. The gratuitous use ofvulgar terms does disservice to everyone. Too soon, such words become trite and ineffective. Over thepast several months, there have been hints regarding various persons' parentage, overt mention ofbodily functions, coarse references to birth control devices and altogether too much suggestivelanguage. One writer, attempting to describe a bodily function, used a totally incorrect term. Whetherthe malapropism was intentional, the reader will never know. The English language is far too rich anddescriptive to allow yourselves to be tied to a few well-worn adjectives. Why use such base languageto question the legitimacy of a person, when "spurious mountebank" will send the subject of yourwrath scurrying to the dictionary to find out what he or she is? Our teachers have taught us to speak toour audience on its own level. Surely it is our duty to raise their level of understanding, not crawling intothe playpen with them. We're not fools, we're all eager to learn â€” even the humblest of us.FWWÂ»â€”^wwmwwwwwwww'fWf^W"!â„¢^^ HWMffiRWWSWW!^^ We put faith in our reporters to uplift us even as they communicate. Robert Johnson Sophomore, Journalism Victimizers are also victims ofsociety Editor: Greetings. Oh yes indeed, our society is deeply sick. Repressive laws and a powerstructure made up largely of tyrannical, selfish, bigoted, unhealthy drunks and a commercial sectorhell-bent on terrorizing the people, dementing the children, dividing us into shallow minded castes andperpetuating and refining all of the traditional evil such as greed, murder, torture, bigotry, war andselfish exploitation of our planet and each other has manufactured monsters willing to commit massmurder, batter and rape adults and even children. Historically, its only more refined, not new. However, never before has the entire planet been contaminated. Its now pandemic. Are we, therefore, losing thewar due to the evidence of endless expansion of the evil? No, but we are approaching quickly thedecisive moment of truth. Those who thus victimize, are also victims. So long as we continue to try anddeal with the problems by punishing the individuals and forgetting the social mechanisms thatproduce them, we will fail and finally be overwhelmed. These creatures are direct products of thelawful, normal functions of our society. Society, the system, is responsible for the evil of its parts. Blind,cowardly, so-called government representatives want to castrate sexual offenders. Perhaps thesecreatures also condone amputation of the limbs of thieves, removal of the tongues of those who speakout against them, death camps for the homeless, enslavement of the poor, four and quartering in townsquares of blind, cowardly, so-called government representatives?

PERSONALS Sweetie- I LOVE YOU!! -Bunny Tell your Bunny or your Sweetieyou love them in the February 13 edition of The Western Front! ---------- Western Front - 1990 January 26 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front Sports Friday, January 26,1990 Women unstoppable By Micheal Flynn staffreporter The women's basketball team will attempt to continue their domination over opposing teams ina pair of important home games this weekend. Tonight the vistors are the second place Falcons ofSeattle Pacific University. SPU, 10-3 overall and 8-2 district, posted a 24-6 record last season andreached the district semifinals as well. Guard Jan Bolton, who leads the Falcons, is third in the districtwith a 19.8 scoring average. Becky Wiersma, the other half of the back court duo, leads the district inassists with a 6.5 average. Earlier in the season, when the two teams met in Seattle, Western came outon top 61-56. The Vikings hold a series edge of 32-2. Things won't get much easier for the Vikings asthey host the University of Puget Sound Loggers Saturday night. UPS is led by 5-foot-6 guard AnniePettigrew. She averages 16.3 points, 6.1 assists and 3.5 steals per game. The Vikings have won the last three meetings with UPS. The Vikings overcame a strong first half by a tough Simon Fraser team to beat SFU 88-75 Tuesday night in front of a record crowd of 1,465. The victory, the 24th in a row at CarverGym, moved the Vikings to 11-0 district, two games ahead of second place SFU. The Vikings are now18-1 into" the season. For much of the first half, the SFU Clan looked as if they would put a halt to theViking winning streak. Using a suffocating zone defense, the Clan stifled the Vikings inside and frustrated them into a number of early turnovers. On offense, SFU used quick, precision passing and deadlyoutside shooting to open up the Viking zone for wide-open shots. They also controlled the boards. WhenSFU center Michelle Hendry hit one of her two free-throws with 6:32 remaining, the Vikings foundthemselves down by nine points, 25-16. That was enough for the Vikings. They found their offense, madethe necessary changes on defense and pulled themselves back into the game. "We were just kind ofstanding around, letting them beat up on us," junior guard Erica Porter said. "Then we started figuring out what was going on and picked up the intensity," she said. The Vikings held SFU scoreless for the nextthree minutes while they whittled away at the lead. Western guard Kerri Browitt hit a 15-foot jumper from the right side. After a three-second violation on the Clan, Browitt hit an identical shot from the other sideof the floor. When center Cim Hanson hit a lay-in with just over a minute to go, SFU was in the lead byonly one point. Hanson hit a pair of free-throws with 2:51 left in the half to give Western a 28-27 lead. Alead they never relinquished. They went to the locker room leading 35-31. In the second half SFU hungtough, continuing to play tight defense and work the ball inside. Hendry scored 16 of her 25 game-leading points in the second half. -^ Hendry's inside strength and the outside shooting of guard Andrea Schnider kept the Clan in the game. But Western, led by Hanson's consistent inside play and a healthy balanceof outside shooting, was too much for the visitors. The game signaled the women's improving characteras the district playoffs draw nearer. But no hints of upcoming greatness satisfied the hope for successlike the brief play of forward Chris Garrison. Garrison, a 6-foot 2-inch sophomore who has been out with aknee injury for over a month, played for a mere three minutes. She dominated those three minutes. Noneof SFU's towering frontline could stop Garrison as she scored six straight points for Western beforeshe left the game. Garrison said it felt good to be back playing. "The knee felt pretty good tonight," shesaid. "I'm going through therapy right now and I should be fine for districts. It felt good to play." Twoweeks ago Western coach Lynda Goodrich reached the significant milestone of 400 career victories.Tuesday night Hanson reached one of her own. . When she hit a lay-in just over three minutes into thesecond half, Hanson became the eighth player in Western's history to score 1,000 career points.Though the game remained tight through the beginning of the second half, the comeback of the Vikings towards the end of the first half seemed to break SFU's confidence. The momentum of the run propelledthe Vikings to victory. Porter attributed the first half momentum shift to a switch in defensive scheme."Once we changed from a zone to a man we got going," she said. Hanson said she felt another key inthe Vikings late-first half run was a mental adjustment. "We weren't blocking out and we weren't playingstrong defense. She (Goodrich) told us to get in there and work harder on the boards," Hanson said. Shewas referring to a Western timeout just before the start of the first half run that gave the Vikings the lead. Western was led by Hanson and Browitt who had 20 points a piece. Forward Alayna Keppler chipped in16 points. The game was rather rough. A lot of pushing and elbow swinging took place by both teams atboth ends of the floor. "In games between the top teams, they (the referees) kind of let you play more,"Porter said. The blood on her jersey, from her elbow to her nose, was testimony to the physical play ofthe game. As the Vikings close in on the homecourt win record, perhaps a dismayed SFU fan was rightwhen he told a friend, "It figures. Nobody beats Western on their home court." The Harlem Globetrotterswill perform their eye-cctching basketball techniques at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 14 in Carver Gym. Tickets are$ 12 for general admission.

There will be no charge to see and hear the concert, but a silver offering will be taken to help out the biennial scholarship given by the club. Since the firsthomecoming concert in 1934 over $4000 has Virginia Haskins Sings In Auditorium Tuesday ByHELEN KNUDSEN On July 21 at 8 p. m., WWO students will be privileged to attend the performance ofMiss Virginia Haskins, coloratura, who has been dubbed one of the most versatile stars of today's musical world. This versatility of the petite Miss Haskins was borne out by her appearance in "Carousel" kinging"If I Loved You" concurrently with her role as Zerliha in 'Don Giovanni." * After studying three years underthe tutelage of Bernard Ferguson in St. Louis, she went to Italy with the famed opera star, Rosa Raisa,where she made her professional singing debut as Gilda in "Rigo-letto." She afterwards made herAmerican debut in Chicago and was signed for Mutual Network's "Chicago Theatre of the Air" on whichshe still appears. Her- program here in the college VIRGINIA HASKINS auditorium will include folk songs from various countries, several selections from the modern operas of G. C. Menotti, and selectedpieces ifrom Victor Herbert, Bellini, and F. Poulenc. It is difficult to realize th|at accomplished andpoised artists also have their "unpoised" moments. Such was the time when, keeping itrue to the oldadage about the *show going on, she kept on with the open-air broadcast of "A Midsummer Night'sDream" throughout a rushing downpour and was drenched to the skin long before the final scene. Butperhaps the event that sticks most closely to her mind as "one to remember," was the night of theopening of Prokofieffs "Love of Three Oranges" in New York, when the zipper of her costume sprung andfor a moment she thought she would have to sing "au naturelle." ["Luckily," she laughs, "I was hiddenbehind a prop rock near an exit and a stage hand managed to smuggle a safety pin to me." There will be no edition of the Collegian next week because of tests and the end of first term. The Collegian will beback in the stands on July 31 to give you entertainment and enjoyment.

FORE! "Fore!"yelled Glen Glibb as he sized up the fairway in front of him. 1. "Better be careful," cautioned his partner. "Those people aren?t, out of range yet." There was a resounding crack as Glen drove, and the ball shotout low and hard along the right side of the fairway. As the players watched, admiring the fine shot, theball began to curve to the left, hooking toward the men and women in the fairway. "Fore," yelled Glenfrantically, and one of the women moved desperately to one side, ducking her head. The ball struckher arm. WARNING NECESSARY Glen was at fault. The players were obviously in a danger zone, andthe mere shouted warning was not sufficient to protect them, especially since their backs were toGlen, and they were proceeding ahead of him in a place where, under the rules of the game, they hada right to be. The player must reasonably foresee the likelihood of a "hook" or a "slice" causing injuryto others, and use care necessary to prevent such injury. On a golf course, remember, use ordinarycare to see that others are protected. If they are in a danger zone, be sure they know when you aregoing to drive. Never deliberately drive into the people ahead of you. more johannesen (Continued onPage 2) that year for the first time in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Last year he returned toHolland to record five concert! with various orchestras for Concert Hall recordings. His solo albumsinclude works of Schumann, Schubert, Faure, Poulenc, Beethoven, Greig, and the complete work ofChopin. Johannesen's first South American tour last summer was an un-qualfiied triumph as he hasbeen engaged for a return tour in 1954. Summer engagements at leading stadium concerts, including the Hollywood Bowl, round out his touring calendar and he is the only young pianist to be heard regularlyon the Telephone Hour. This radio program, also NBC's Standard Hour from the Pacific Coast andABC's popular Piano Playhouse, have brought Johannesen's exciting artistry into the homes ofmillions of listeners. Some of his own compositions were heard on a recent broadcast of PianoPlayhouse and many of his songs are played in leading music halls.

Students Satisfied With Two Terms A week 'agoWednesday a poll was taken by the registrar's office on the summer calendar and if the students thought it met their individual needs or not. Below is a note from Mr. Ferris' office indicating just how the poll went. The student opinion poll showed over whelming sentiment in favor of the present calendar. Only 33 indicated dissatisfaction with the present arrangements out of over 400 replies received. The poll wastaken in the 11 o'clock classes. Although opportunity was given for students not enrolled in eleveno'clock classes to secure questionnaires in the registrar's office, none were so distributed. Theapparent conclusion is that the present calendar meets the needs of those now attending summersession to a great extent. Mystery in Ploy Based on Murder "Trifles" will be presented nextWednesday, July 22, in the college auditorium at 7:30 p. m. This is the final day of the first term and willgive you a chance to relax and enjoy yourself in this one act play. The play is a character sketch oftwo individuals, neither of whom appear in the play. It evolves around the question, "Did the woman killher husbandâ€”and if so, why?" The people in the play visit the farmhouse where this man has beenfound strangled with a rope. The action takes place in the farm house and gives you a good answer to the question of the death.

The motion failed to pass on the basis that it would cut any difference in earned awards nowin force. Kilpsun committee presented its recommendations for photography contracts. The Boardaccepted the recommendation for the contract for 1953-54 to go to Bradbury Studio for the followingreasons: (1) both contracts were similar in most' respects; (2) students would only have to pay $2.50per sitting at Bradbury's rather than $3.00 at the other place; (3) the other company desired freeadvertising in the Collegian under terms of the contract; (4) students may reorder last year's picturesat Bradbury's without paying the entire setting fee over again; (5) a source of income for the Klip-sunwould be through reorders. The Board further recommended that next year's editor* Arlene Mc- Kinney,be asked not to use cuts over again in the year book, and that faculty who have not had their picturesretaken within the last five years should do so this year or their's will not be included in the Klipsun.

All too often, college is an escape from the cold cruel world where one has to support oneself. It's easy to let your parents support you for another four years. Have youever heard of the term "Office Hours"? Have you ever raised your hand in class to ask a question; orhave you just sat there and vegetated with the rest of the "totem poles"? You're in college, not highschool. I know it must be a shock to have to do a little individual thinking and working after the easyroutine of high school. And to top it off, you single out the history department. You would have a hardtime finding a group of instructors who would be more interested in working with students individually. Allyou have to do is darken their door and they will be glad to help you fulfill your ambitions. In conclusion, I would suggest that you do something about your "fascination" other than talk about it. Either do thelatter, or take "Underwater Basketweaving" or "Underwater Cheerleading."

ILTON E. TERRY JEWELER 1305 Commercial Street Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 5 ---------- By BOB STEVENSON, Collegian Artist, Columnist Beatnik coffee houses are in the news so frequentlylately that they have become a constant curiosity as far north as Bellingham. In an alley off GardenStreet, a few blocks from campus, a group of students were sitting around their small basementapartment, while down a long flight of stairs and outside the door, a sign bathed in blue light callsattention to the place as the Mole Hole. As the story was revealed to this columnist, there came aknock on the door, and when it was answered, there stood a number of high school students. One ofthese dungaree- clad youths stepped up and said, "Hey, Man, do you serve coffee here?" "Coffee?"came the retort, "what do you mean?" "Isn't this an Espresso coffee house?" asked the Youth with anair of indignation. It seems that all of Bellingham High School has been looking for the 'Mole Hole' forsome time now. Someone has been passing the word about a 'coffee house' of this name somewhere inBellingham. This writer can see in the future a Mole Hole making tuition costs for its occupants. Thetalk of change is not too apparent to this columnist as he threads his weary way to and from classes. Of all the modern equipment conceived by man to make man's work lighter, the grounds keepers seemto be in the dark ages. They still pick up leaves with a hand rake when a lawn sweeper would cut theirlabor appreciatively and leave about four men for other tasks about our campus, such as clearing theWater Buffaloes off the 21st street parking lot. For the next problem this writer will lay the blame onthe freshman and transfer students. I can't understand why it is Western's luck to acquire thesesloppy people who call themselves college students and adults. The reason I lay the blame here is this:last year, in our old "Postage Stamp" lounge, it was considered almost a sin to leave a coffee-stainedcup or a catsup-smeared plate on a table that someone would be using next hour. The WorshippersAsked Why . . . In the beginning there was the god. There followed the priests, and after them theworshippers. The College catalog states that class attendance at Western is "compulsory." Westernprofessors will explain this item in one of the following ways: 1. It is necessary to attend class regularlyto benefit from the course. 2. Veterans must attend classes to receive their GI benefits. 3. It is like having someone work for you. If he is one of the many and shows up only once a week with his work done, youdon't notice him much and you don't tend to give him much consideration when everyone else has beenaround all the time. No. 1 is logical in most cases, No. 2 is the law, and No. 3 is a very human andunderstandable explanation. The really frustrating one, however, is No. 4. It goes like this: "You mustattend class because the College catalog says so." This would be fine if the College catalog were notconsidered a sort of holy book, some of the faculty priests, and many students worshippers, because inthis system the priests always refer to the holy book and no questions are expected. I t would be fine,too, if some instructors did not base grades on attendance over work performedâ€”always citing theCollege catalog. Sometimes we wonder. When was the holy book written? Many instructors do notcare if one ever attends class. They tell him they will judge him on his performance. If he thinks he canlearn without benefit of their assistance, they are willing to let him prove it. These are usually the peoplewhose classes it is necessary to attend to learn. Fortunately they are in considerable number, and thereare also many classes where attendance is obviously necessary and the courses and words of theinstructors are too valuable to miss. Unfortunately, there are also a great number of courses extremely uninterestingly presented, poorly organized and good places to sleep. These are often the classes wheregrades are based on attendance, and where the instructor gives answer No. 4. Now, perhaps, this wholediscussion is picayunish and we should all follow the rules and live happily ever after. But we thought wehave seen Western emerging from the cocoon of rules that act as props for poor courses and lazyinstructors, or ones who have never questioned the book. In a community of scholars, or a world of ideas,it seems somewhat of an insult to have rules that are really not necessary, that one can follow throughcommon sense. At any rate, when everything is being considered in the College's new self-evaluation, itmight be interesting to take a look at the holy book. Long ago there may have been a god that fittedthose times, but wouldn't it be something if the priests wondered a little about the passages they're still quoting, and if a worshipper weren't simply shot for asking that horrible question: Why? There is anunivritten law at Western, whether you know it or not, that when a person has a rwb of coffee, he puts itin the tray rack when finished with it. (Conform or I will stab you with my poison pen!) Our Historydepartment, still reeling from the shock of having a student knock the pedestal out from under them, aretrying to build themselves back up by striking out at the freedom of student expression. There is evena student who, altho not a history major, is writing a letter to the Editor showing just how hard sometoes were stepped on. Don't you agree that even if the history department is the so-called best, it couldstand some improvement?

By KEITH ALLEN Shortly afterfour on Monday afternoon a handful of people stood around joking while others arranged chairs andpoured themselves coffee. At precisely 4:18 Dr. James L. Jarrett arrived and was poured a cup ofcoffee. While he sat down and lit a cigarette, the group waiting outside came in hesitantly and seatedthemselves in the SUB Conference Room. Collegian editor Robertson began speaking as moderator and the first student press conference with president James Jarrett was under way. Robertson beganwith questions written by the group beforehand and Dr. Jarrett answered. He first discussed theHonors Program and, as throughout his answers, more or less confirmed the opinion he had expressedin his earlier addresses. He stated that the Honors Program would possibly be in use in less than twoyears at Western. No response was made to a request for questions from the floor. Though most were a little tense at the beginning, those present began to relax as the president answered their querries.Another typically loaded question was asked, and again another. All eyes were on Dr. Jarrett as hepaused, listened to the next question, and went on. Another person silently came in and sat down. If onelistened closely during a pause, he could hear the fan, as it hummed and blew the suspended lights, aswell as the dish-ncise and murmur of those in the coffee shop. 'We Don't Need Chssring Thcrjsands' "Idid say we were not a football college," Jarrett said in answer to a question on athletics. "An addition tothe gym is fine and good, but . . . it is not to take any precedence over academic additions." One couldsense others were starting to relax. "We don't need to win every football game," he went on. "We do notwant or need cheering thousands at our sports events." Robertson continued reading each question."Vocational journalism is not taught because it is not an academic course," came the president's reply to another. "Those going into school newspaper advising may learn the technicalities of the field with thecourses available." Beyond that, he went on, students can attend trade schools. The 23 in attendancestirred as the first question came from them unwritten. Dr. Jarrett stated that the student should do his part in reaching the goals he aims for and not leave it up to the work of his instructors. The 'SimpleMinded' Student The sounds of pens on paper filled the room. The concluding discussion brought outthe improbabilities of a "simple-minded" student receiving a degree at Western. Admissionrequirements were mentioned. At 5:20 Dr. Jarrett mentioned the fact that more and more might beattending these weekly scheduled conferences open to all students, and that perhaps more activediscussion would take place. The first conference was finished and several helped themselves to thecoffee. President Jarrett rose and talked with Robertson. "I didn't notice the time," he said. No one elsehad, either. INTERViW The Governor at 2 a.m. With the clinking of spoons on coffee cups setting thescene, it was almost as unusual as it was unexpected. In the background a 2-star general and a groupof the governor's friends sat discussing policies and politics over a late meal, while Washington State'schief executive himself sat down with a group of Western Washington College students for a spur-of-the- moment interview over a cup of coffee. "I have just finished helping inaugurate a good man forWestern," Governor Albert D. Rosellini told two editors of the Collegian Saturday night as he satdown with them in the dining Signing autographs for students INAUGURAL PROCESSION And then,there was silence room of Bellingham's Royal Cafe. "Dr. Jarrett appears to be a liberal-minded man and I like that because I'm a liberal, too. "What do you students think of the president?" Rosellini asked andwas quickly launched into a discussion of the state, education and politics that lasted over an hour andled to talks with students that took in the whole evening. Should Education Blossom Out? "Thequestion now is v.hether we should allow our colleges of education to blossom out or remain in theirpresent status," the Governor said. "I have appointed a committee that is looking into education fromtop to bottom. We November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Paqe 7 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 8 ---------- need more and more teachers. If we are going to meet the challenge of the world today, we will have todo it through education, not arms." Originally joining Collegian editors Robertson and Bob Stevenson and three other Western students to answer questions, the Governor's night turned into a meeting withnearly 20 Western students, and covered the whole field of politics. "We have an educational systemthat ranks fifth in the nation; that doesn't mean it shouldn't be improved. One of the things our schoolsystem needs is morev guidance people. We should find out what a student is best suited for and helphim get into that field." Does this mean we should have more quantity of education or more quality? theeditor asked. "Both," Ros-ellini answered, stating that everyone should have the opportunity ofeducation, but that there were people who belong in college and people who do not. "This is whatguidance would find out. I think we should educate all people who are susceptible to education." 'IHave Never Interfered' Asked whether his appointments to college boards of trustees were trying to hiremore liberal arts men for presidencies of education colleges, he said he did not know this was actuallyso. "I have appointed men to all five institutions, however, and I have never interfered with theirappointments. I don't expect to." On the question of federal aid Ros-ellini was emphatic. "We need all we can get and it must come with local control maintained. We are going to have federal aid if we are going to meet the challenges of education today." With questions soon being fired from numbers ofstudents who joined the Collegian delegation the governor gave his ideas on other issues: "Foreignlanguages are very important in our curricula. They are the only real way for us to know other people of the world, their problems, cultures and ideas. I am very much in favor of expansion of languageprograms in our schools," he told Gerhard Langer, president of Western's German club. "TheSeattle Times has very good reason to try and see that I am politically destroyed by creating anissue over the state liquor board. But you will soon see affidavits and statements to show why theTimes is carrying on such a crusade," he told a political science major. A Completely New PolicyGranting the Collegian a final question before leaving Bellingham, the governor answered by announcing a "completely new policy." "Next session you will see, for the first time in the history of the state ofWashington, a governor presenting a budget message to the Legislature . . . I will have my ownbudgetary commission and requests for money will have a complete analysis and hearing. I don't knowspecifically what I can do about your college's request for funds for more library facilities. Of course,Western is not the only college in the state asking for money." Still, what of the fate of the Westernlibrary? "All we can do is take a good look at it and see what we can do. But I believe it is theresponsibility of a governor to look such things over and recommend. I will make a recommendation. Itwas 2 a.m. before Rosellini finished. 'I've Been Worked Over Before' It was a new look at a state official who sat down with students and talked openly, though it was obvious that no earth - shakingannouncements were made and the governor knew how to gather votes. After Rosellini was asked by ayoung Republican to sign a cocktail napkin so he could remember the time and place the end of theconference set the highlight. "May you quote me on everything? Certainly. I've been worked over bynewspapers before." It was almost as startling as being thrown out of the Faculty Council. HÂ®NÂ©RSPR96RAM The Severest Taskmaster The possession of a superior intellect carries with it the duty to put it to use as much as possible, according to Western's associate professor of economics Erwin S.Mayer. For this reason Western Washington is working on forming an Honors program dedicated to thesuperior student. "We are determined to be in the forefront in this state in forming an Honors program,"Dr. Mayer stated as head of the Honors program committee. He went on to say that too many of thehighly capable students find nothing challenging in their regular courses and thus fail to do the work."For these students the work is easy and they goof off if they're not challenged." Honors programs areinstituted to meet the special needs and develop the special gifts of intelligent students. Those selectedfor the program, expected to be in operation at the freshman level next spring, will be given certainprivileges and be obliged to accept other responsibilities. When they are allowed to by-pass the easier courses which they would coast through, they will have to work that much harder in the courses they do take. They will be allowed to avoid many of the themes, quizzes and term papers that seem to hinderthem and in turn be expected to work independently and become, as the committee states, "their own severest taskmasters." It has been found that these systems provide a tremendous stimulus forfaculty as well as the entire student body, along with the Honors students. "There are excitingpossibilities here," Dr. Mayer concluded, "We look forward with great interest to seeing our program,which is largely in the planning stage, get under way." INAUGURATION 'We Need a Lusty Vice' ByKAREN BAINTER "The devil's cloud has a toadstool shape and what he may carry away is not a singleperson, nor a single community, but an entire race . . ." A. Earle Birney, Professor of Eng. lish at theUniversity of British Columbia injected this sobering thought into an audience of students, townspeople, and faculty during a seminar on humanities last Thursday. It was only one of many sobering butsometimes too true, and horrifyingly real, thoughts and ideas versed during the three inaugural sessions. One result of the humanities seminar, "The Changing Face of Hubris," was the introduction of Hubrisinto the vocabulary of many in the audience who hadn't heard of the word before. Hubris is a wordpilfered from the Greeks and denotes a scornful pride or an insolent disregard of moral laws andrestraint. Tracing the origins of Hubris in Greek drama, the first speaker, Thomas Rosenmeyer,Associate Processor of Classics at the University of Washington, then delved into man's recurringhabits of competing with God and interpreting God in ways that further selfish causes. The beginnings ofman's belief in infinite powers that started with the caveman's doodlings on his cave wal!s and evolvedalong with our hubristic pride to modern day human concepts of God, was one of the chains of thought in the lecture of Herbert Muller, Professor of English and Government at Indiana University. Page 8WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 9 ---------- Muller, who doesn't like the word "reacts" because it reminds him of the twitching of frog's legs, definedthe face of Hubris as "an automobile with fins." He compared our civilization, which moralists rant andrave about, with the mass corruption, cruelty, and barbarism of the middle ages and said, "Nowadayswe look tame . . . we need a good honest lusty vice." He talked of the peasant masses who've toiled allthrough history, he discussed conformism, then conjured up and tore down an image of a brave newworld of the future. Speaking next, U.B.C.'s Dr. Birney took the podium and warned, "The evidence of the past is that civilization falls . . . ancient prides must go or ancient furies will consume . . . democracyis best for developing creativity . . . but there are democracies and there are democracies and not even the best is worth saving at the cost of the human race." He talked earnestly of the hopelessness ofIndia, where every victory is a defeat, and which can only be saved by the concentrated efforts of all themajor countries of the world. Talking of prejudices, and the failure of the nations of the world to educatetheir young in unity, Birney climaxed the session by putting us in the role of Pandora trying to get the lid back onto the box. "There is no safe dose of radiation." Grayhaired and serious, A. H. Sturte-vant,professor of Genetics, at the California Institute of Technology talked slowly as his presentation opened Thursday night's science seminar. He said we are all exposed to some radiation through elements inthe soil, cosmic rays, medical X-rays, and fallout which doesn't do much harm. But the after-effects ofexcessive radiation can range from malignant growths in the person concerned, to mutations in thedecendants of the affected. Speaking next, Frederick Thieme, the Provost at the University ofWashington, went into the need for new methods to solve the unanswered questions of man's origin."We are as we are, because of what we were," Thieme declared, then discussed a variety of topicsfrom prehistoric blue-green algae, to bone residues, to the use of radioactivity in determining theage of fossils. Discussion of the changes which must take place in education during the next 10 yearswas the format of the final session "Education 1975." One obviously bitter educator, stressing theneed for revised state taxes, denounced the Washington tax structure as such: "The most fiendish tax system that could be devised couldn't match the state of Washington." They looked back over thiscountry's educational changes and prophesied 'Nowadays We Look Tame A. H. STURTEVANT H. J.MULLER Here discussing "Education in 1975" is T. R. McConnell, University of California, Louis Bruno,Pullman, Washington Superintendent of schools, J. Alan Ross, Western Washington College, andPaul D. Woodring, Western Psychology Professor on leave to the Ford Foundation. A. Earl Birney of the University of British Columbia is shewn after he discussed "The New Hubris" in the Humanities Session"The Changing Face of Hubris." November 7, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 9 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 10 ---------- on the future. Along with the usual forecast of special classes for the gifted, advanced by ability not age,and the improvement of wider use of educational T.V. came the idea of "team" teaching. A "team" wouldbe responsible for 100 or so students in a broad field and would consist of one master teacher, one ortwo other fully certified teachers, an intern teacher, and a couple of skilled community members.Talking on the subject of public schools was Louis Bruno, Superintendent of Schools in Pullman,Washington, while the American school system as a whole was handled by Paul Wood-ring ofWestern who is on leave to the Ford Foundation. College education was discussed by T. R. McConnell,from the University of California, who stressed the need for a greater variety in types of colleges to fitthe types of students so as much time won't be wasted on subjects students don't need for their ownindividual educations. Then there was silence. The auditorium was quiet and empty again until theinauguration which unfolded that afternoon, and the thoughts left behind v/ere digested and afcsorbed bythose who had the facilities to digest them. BOESE CONCERT Dull and Without Life By STACYTUCKER Somewhat of a task lies ahead of an organist who is to perform upon a strange organ. Theorgan has not reached the degree of standardization that other instruments such as the piano haveattained and while all organs conform to certain general specifications, they also differ considerably, one from the other. For this reason, most organists will not even attempt to give a concert before anaudience until they have been at least an hour in acquainting themselves with the specific instrumentupon which they are to perform. Considering these facts, however, this reviewer still does not findreason enough to excuse the mediocre quality of last week's organ recital by Raymond Boese. Hislecture "demonstration" at ten o'clock was without life and was found dull even by some music majors.He read the bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner which did not add to its already research paperquality. The reception was cancelled, thus giving no opportunity to talk with Boese. The performancewas good in spots and passable on the whole. This reviewer has not, however, heard positivecomments on it by anyone to speak of, music majors included. (Not that any remarks by musicmajors would tend to altar the content of this criticism. STUDENT UNION Dedication Set . . . UnionBoard Chairman Jack Ra-bourn has informed the Collegian that November 30 to December 6, will be setaside for dedication of the Student Union Building. Bob Poldervart, member of the Union Board, ischairman of the week's events. The initial event will be a reception in which the many potential uses ofthe building will be unfolded before a limited invited audience. Later in the week the lounge area will bededicated, an open house for the students will culminate the week's events on December 6. TheBoard plans to have art exhibits, recitals, and cofee hours in the building in the near future. Achildren's art exhibit will be held in November, according to Rabourn. RAYMOND BOESE, ORGANISTThe bulk of his talk in a mechanical manner WILD DUCK Through a Skylight . . . Daylight, dawn,duskâ€”the hours of the sun will be portrayed through a skylight. Angling over the stage during thecoming production of Ibsen's Wild Duck, will be something new on Western's stage; a skylight designedby technical director, Mark Flanders. Using antique furniture and combining his staging efforts withTom Aston, assistant technical director and Sue Weidman, light operator, Flanders hopes to create arealistic atmosphere for the soon-to-be-produced play. Also aiming at authenticity are the twostudents who are taking over the costume department. Betty Sue Ritchie, a senior business educationmajor, and Carol Erchinger, a junior majoring in home economics and minoring in art, have redesignedten women's costumes for the play and are now engaged in the actual sewing of them. The girls found agoldmine of dresses and furniturs in a closet belonging to Miss Erchinger's grandmother, the late Mrs.Margaret Grant of Bellingham, and a number of these articles have been donated for use in theproduction. As the various departments organize and work, plans for the "Wild Duck" take shape.Costumes, staging, lighting; these are all part of production preliminaries underway as once again allthe strings are being tied to a swift schedule for the production of another Western drama presentation.Page 10 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN November 7, 1959 ---------- Collegian - 1959 November 7 - Page 11 ---------- ASB PRESIDENCY Success and Rock Hunter By LIZ SUNDSTROM You elected himâ€”now what?Last week 426 Western students swayed by the argument, "Experience is the best teacher" supported Bob Gustavson for the ASB presidency. What can these students expect from his administration?What has experience taught Bob Gustavson? Questioned about his plans for this year, Gustavsonreadily discussed several projects he has in mind. "We are operating on a delcit budget at thepresent time, due to the overspending of several departments." (See Collegian, October 23, 1959.) Inhopes of curtailing unnecessary extravagance, Gustavson plans to scrutinize carefully all ASBexpenditures. Although this action probably won't solve the problem immediately, it should reduce costsgreatly. Gustavson also intends to revise the present administrative system to supply a more uniformprogram for student government. In the past, each new administration has brought abrupt changesin policy. As a result, incompleted projects have been dropped, and good ideas abandoned.Gustavson feels that these s u d d en changes are a waste of the student-body's time, money, andenergies. To increase operational efficiency, he will keep thorough records of all student body activities.Gustavson plans to set up a conduct calendar advising students on proper behavior and apparel forvarious occasions. Many students attend school events dressed inappropriately and seem oblivious to the use of common courtesy at functions such as the A-L assemblies, he said. His primary goal for theyear is to make student government an increasingly "interesting, worthwhile, and rewardingexperience for students." Hoping to encourage more student participation and to dispel the feeling of"complacency and lack of interest which many students have toward school activities," BobGustavson, former acting chairman, now enthroned with an official gavel, set out on the path toshowing whether success would be spoiled by Rock Hunter. In a new twist Rock Hunter would be thestudent body. BOB GUSTAVSON Elected â€” Now What? LEGISLATURE 'Buttons' a Strong Fourth At the lengthy meeting of the Legislature held last Wednesday in the Coffee Shop, it was the final orderof business that highlighted the meeting. A proposal was brought before the board for Finance Chairman Jerry Baker and Dr. Byron Haglund, professor of economics, to conduct research on the budgets ofpast years in order to discover present trends. It was suggested that said research could result in saving the school ten to 15 thousand dollars per year from its annual budget. It was moved that they do so.With Bob Gustavson officially seated it was time for permanent cabinet positions to be filled. Gustavsonpresented the names of Don Bevis, Norma Rice and Karen Brumstrom as possibilities for theJudicial Board. After discussion they were accepted. Miss Sharon Belchschmidt (is that right Sharon?)was suggested by the president for Opinion Board Chairman. Before her acceptance, Robinson madea motion that in the future ALL candidates MUST come to the meeting or send an informative letter to the Legislature describing their qualifications. Elections Chairman Roc Caldwell reported on the ASBpresidential election. Ballet totals were Gustavsonâ€” 436 votes, "Doc" Moodyâ€”213, DonAlderâ€”114, and "Buttons" a strong fourth with 41 votes. Seven other ballots were cast for suchfavorite sons as Al red E. Neuman and Al Jung. Ray Knabe presented his report on leftover facilities from the old Lounge. After he listed the items, it was suggested the Union Board Chairman Jack Rabournlook over the list and pick out what could be used. Rabourn suggested that remaining chesterfields and chairs could be used at the Lakewood property. Rabourn also asked for and received $585 to purchasea Wurlitzer piano to be used in the music lounge of the building. He also announced that $421.73remained from the summer budget. Dr. Murray moved that the sum be reverted to budget control.Collegian Editor Robertson made his report on Collegian finances. According to his figures themagazine is within its budget. Clayton Hood, who played his last football game in 1954, has finally teenawarded his blanket. COFFEE HOUR Prelude to Wild Duck "The most challenging of Ibsen'sdramas"â€”these were the words with which Dr. William Gregory, director, referred to the forthcomingproduction of The Wild Duck. This statement may be a topic of controversy November 12 as theStudent Union conference room is once again opened to a distinguished visitor, Professor SverreArestad, a former Western student, now head of the department of Scandinavian Language andLiterature at the University of Washington, who will give a brie? analysis of the play and then answerquestions and act as discussion moderator. The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. and is open to students,faculty and townspeople. Dr. Arestad, a nationally recognized authority in his field, is the first speakerever presented here as the prelude to a production, but according to Dr. Gregory "we hope to make thisa general practice if at all possible." He strongly urged the attendance of all those interested in thedrama and went on to express this opinion of the play: "a combination of comedy, sometimes borderingon slapstick, and stark tragedy.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the annual celebration is the football game. The exuberant and intoxicatingatmosphere of the crowd is tremendous every Homecoming but this year's game may prove thrillingenough to make the high spirited majority throw their flasks away. Central Washington, currently tied forthe Evergreen Conference number one spot, provides the opposition this afternoon for the fast risingVikings. Victorious in its last two games, Western is all set to knock the Wildcats off their lofty perch. In comparing the conference records of the two clubs Central would rate as the favorites. But Central'srecord is deceiving since they have dropped three non-conference games to give them a total of three wins and four losses. The Vikings' solid forward wall has been the main reason the opposition has scored only thirteen points in the last three games. Outweighed by at least thirty pounds per man, Westernoutcharged and outplayed UBC last week while the week before they stopped Pacific Lutheran almostcompletely. Offensively there has been 100% improvement in the last two games. The biggestimprovement has been in the passing game, shown by Doug Ringenbach and Steve Hansen's combinedtotal of 185 yards against UBC. In the rushing department Ron Ladines and Sam Martin have carried theball for 283 and 201 yards respectively this season. Len Gargarello is the top pass receiver with fivecatches for 141 yards. Ladines leads the scorers with 24 points followed by Hansen with 13. A bigsurprise for the Vikings in their last two games has been the tremendous play of freshman halfbackJack Halliday. Against Pacific Lutheran. Halliday intercepted two passes and in last week's UBC game he picked off three Thunderbird aerials setting up one Western touchdown. With the tremendous spirit, builtup around Homecoming, the Vikings will have no trouble being up for this game and the final score shouldread WESTERN 27, CENTRAL 6. SHORTS ON SPORTS . . .

Showing theirmost potent offensive display of the season, Western's vastly improved eleven roared to a 20-3 victoryover UBC's highly rated Thunderbirds last Saturday on the Canadian campus. The Viks collectednearly 350 yards on total offense and had at least 100 more called back on penalties. To top things offthey intercepted six Thunderbird aerials. Steve Hansen and Doug Ringenbach led the Western attackwith 131 and 114 yards respectively. Hansen collected 96 by passing and 35 on the ground whileRingenbach threw for 89 and gained 25 running. Ron La-dines remained as the Viks' top scorer as headded two touchdowns to his total. He got one on a 25 yard pass from Hansen and the other on a oneyard plunge. Len Gargarello scored the other six pointer on a 40 yard toss from Ringenbach. Westerntook the opening kickoff and marched 68 yards for their first score. The big play of the series was the 15-yard Ringenbach to Gargarello pass play that put the Viks on the UBC 25. Ladines got the score fromthe one, but Hansen missed his first kick of the season, leaving the Norsemen ahead 6-0. After anexchange of punts, Western drove to its second touchdown. With UBC on the Viking 26, Jack Hallidaypicked off a T-bird pass and returned it to the Thunderbird 40. It took just one play from there asRingenbach hit Gargarello for the score and Hansen added the PAT. In the third quarter, tackle FredKnapp recovered a UBC bobble on the Western 43 and the Viks rambled 57 yards for their third score.Hansen hit Ladines behind a screen and the big fullback drove into the end zone from the 25. Hansenagain added the PAT to close out the Vikings' scoring. The Thunderbirds' only points came in thesecond quarter when they picked up a 22 yard field goal. Bay and Champion RE 3-2610 WESTERNPLAYER a potent offensive display CO-CAPTAINS Hard Men to Replace Seniors Sam- Martin, JackSim, Ned Olson and Bill Burby have been named co-captains of the 1959 Western Washingtonfootball team. The first three all are four year lettermen, and Burby was a transfer who has lettered thepast two seasons. Martin has played right halfback in all of Coach John Kulbitski's four years atWestern. "Sam has been an outstanding ball carrier, pass receiver, and defensive halfback," stated Kul-bitski. "He'll be a hard man to replace." Martin, from Auburn, has also excelled in other sports atWestern. He has been one of the mainstays of Ray Ciszek's track squad the past three yearsâ€”he runs the high hurdles, low hurdles, the relay, broad jumps, high jumps, and throws the javelin. In hisfreshman and sophomore years, Martin, who stands 6'2" and weighs 180, was on the varsity basketballsquad. His athletic prowess was recognized last spring when he was voted by the students "Athlete ofthe Year." Like Martin, Sim, a rugged 6'2", 210 lbs., has been a regular under Kulbit-ski for four seasons. Not only does the Victoria athlete stand out as an offensive center, but he is feared by opposingteams for his linebacking ability. Sim, like Martin, has been named honorable mention all-conferencethe past two seasons. Last year the players elected easy-going Jack the "Most Inspirational Player."Olson, who hails from Spokane, has put in a lot of time the past four seasons as one of Kulbitski's finest tackles. "Ollie," who stands 5'11" and scales 200 pounds, loves to open holes in the offensive line for the Viking backs. He has proven his versatility by also playing center when needed. (Ned was offensivecenter for the first game last season when Sim was out with leg boils.). Burby, whose home is in Butte,Montana, is the only single man among the four co-captains. Bill was merely a reserve end at the start of last season, but his hustle and determination soon found him a position as starting offensive guard.Burby, who is 510" and 185, has been one of the outstanding lineman in the Evergreen Conference thisyear not only on offense, but also on defense.

Robert Ross has been Western's president nearly four years. Now, according to university policy, Ross will be evaluatedby the Board of Trustees. Graduate School Dean Samuel Kelly, who is assisting the trustees with theevaluation, said 200 questionnaires soon will be sent to a cross-section of the university community toassess Ross' performance as Western's chief administrative officer. That cross-section will includesenior administrative officers, department chairpersons, present and past Associated Studentpresidents and some present board members, a sampling of junior and senior faculty, andrepresentatives from the Western Foundation, the Alumni Association and the community. While thequestionnaires are to be submitted anonomously, respondents will be asked to identify the segment ofthe university community they represent, Kelly said. The questionnaires will be summarized andforwarded, along with the originals, to Trustee Chairman James Waldo. Members of the universitycommunity who do not receive questionnaires but are interested in contributing to the evaluation areinvited to send letters concerning Ross' performance to Waldo. Letters can be sent to Waldo at Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell 2101 One Union Square, Seattle, Wa. 98101. Kelly said the invitation will "open up" the evaluation process to those of Western's 10,000 member community who do not receivequestionnaires. Questionnaires and ietters should be received before the end of fall quarter, but Kellysaid he would prefer they be sent by the end of November to speed up the evaluation process. Ross'evaluation probably will be completed during winter quarter, he said. The evaluation process is beginning now, Kelly said, so it can be completed during the academic year when faculty and students are oncampus. Students' perceptions surveyed As many as 800 Western students may complete aconfidential questionnaire designed to reveal their perceptions about the quality of education Westernprovides. Students will participate in the university-funded study Nov. 11,12 and 13 in Lecture Hall 3. The 5-year research project, now in its second year, examines learning perceptions of the same group ofstudents each year to detect any changes in attitudes regarding quality of education. The objective of the project is to help faculty develop educational strategies to meet students' needs more effectively, saidresearch director Joan Sherwood, who formerly served as vice president of Student Affairs. "The climateis right for changes in the academic sector," Sherwood said. "There seems to be a national feeling thatcollege doesn't effectively meet sf utferiâ€¢'t'sxn,eetrs: W'e warrt r/o"'k ho w'ribw stud e'nts- feel about it." Sherwood got the idea for the project from a dissertation written by Marsha Taylor, of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The completed questionnaires will be sent to Miami University for scoring. Researchersthere will compare responses with those from last year, using participant's student numbers, not names,for identification. Eight hundred students in social-science classes participated in the study last year. Of those, about 600 returned to Western this year, a number that surprised Sherwood, she said. "Weexpected a 35 percent attrition rate," Sherwood said. "1 would guess returning students'mean GPAmight be higher than average. They might be very highly motivated students." All students whoparticipated in the project last year received invitations to participate this year, regardless of whether they returned to school. Students are asked what they believe the key is to doing well in college courses,what methods instructors use that are most effective and how much student-instructor interaction in theclassroom is most beneficial. While Sherwood hopes the project will improve the quality of educationat Western, she said she sees no indication that students are dissatisfied with current curricula."Students I've talked to tell me they are very happy with what they are getting," she said. Lobbyingnetwork unites alumni advocates B|Â§Iichaet Sf Smith Sl(^y gt;epqft0y^y^^^^ When the StateLegislature reconvenes in January, Western's Alumni Office expects to have a revamped lobbyingnetwork ready for action. For the past five years the office has coordinated a "loose" lobbying network of about 25 alumni. But Alumni Office Director Chris Goldsmith said he expects to expand the networkto include about 500 alumni by January, with 10 to 20 in each legislative district. These alumniadvocates will telephone legislators in their district on behalf of Western whenever issues of importanceto the school arise in the Legislature. "It just makes sense to use this resource," Goldsmith said. "TheAlumni Board of Directors believes Western alumni are a force to be reckoned with politically. A lot ofalumni â€” voters â€” care what happens to Western and legislators ought to know that." The AlumniOffice has the names and addresses of about 36,000 alumni on a computer file. Goldsmith used thecomputer to go through the list of names and identify alumni by legislative district. Four staff members started calling alumni last week, asking them to participate in the network. Already 25 alumni in eight districts have committed help. Calling will continue, one night a week, until the target number is reached. "So far people seem very happy (and) more than willing to get involved," Goldsmith said. Al Froderberg, special assistant to the president for state government relations, will work closely with the networkthrough the Alumni Office. He will ensure Goldsmith or someone in the Alumni Office's LegislativeCommittee knows when the Legislature will consider an issue important to Western and what standthe school will take. The Alumni Office then will contact key alumni advocates in each district who, inturn, will call other advocates in their district. Then all the advocates will call their legislators. If alumniadvocates disagree with Western's position on an issue, they could choose not to call legislators,Froderberg said. "But we would hope they wouldn't call their legislatures and take a stand against us,"he said. Sometimes, on complicated issues, Froderberg will write a brief summary of Western's positionand the Alumni Office will send copies to all the advocates, ideally four to five days before a vote. "I think (the network) will be effective," Froderberg said. "This will show legislators that an awful lot of peoplefeel Western deserves better, that legislators need to take more responsibility for the school's needs." ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 HEC studies may influence fundin By MichaelS.Smith staff reporter The State Legislature in January will discuss two key issues pertinent toWestern's budget. Its decisions concerning funding for instructional support and salaries may beinfluenced by two studies, Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, said. A comparison of faculty and. admin-tra tor's salaries at peer universities throughout the country is conducted each year by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Froderberg said peer schools are selected in states that arereasonably close to Washington, taking into account such factors as population, the economy andcitizens' income. Western's peer schools are Northern Arizona University, California State Universityat Chico, California State University at Hayward, Western Illinois University, University of NorthernIowa, Northern Michigan University and Portland State University. Its study, Froderberg said, showedthat Western is 10.6 percent behind its peers in salaries. Even further behind their peers, CentralWashington University lags 15 percent in salaries and Eastern Washington University lags 23 percent. The nine-member HEC Board was appointed by the governor for the task of developing a Master Plan forhigher education. This plan is likely to influence the state's policy concerning admissions, funding andthe role and mission of each university. As a result of its study, the HEC Board in Septemberrecommended the Legislature implement a two-stage pay increase for faculty during the 1987-89biennium. The $135.4 million increase would adjust faculty salaries to those of peer schools. The otherstudy will compare funding of instructional support, such as libraries and computers. He saidinstructional support probably wasn't compared in the past because it is such a big undertaking. Itrequires thorough examination of eight budgets, including Western's, before any comparisons canbe made. "The Governor's Office of Management and Budget initiated the idea," Froderberg said."They decided it would be worth it to get a clearer picture of how our schools compare to their peers." An educational consulting firm called the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems isdoing the study, Froderberg said. Results should be available in two to three weeks. Froderberg saidhe doesn't expect the CHRIS BALDWIN study to show Western to be adequately funded in relation toother universities. He said Washington has severely cut instructional support funds since 1981, whileother schools have-increased funding in that area. The comparisons are important because theyprovide the Legislature with documented evidence of Western's need for additional funding, Froderbergsaid. Building and maintenance funding, important topics for Western, won't be included in thecomparison studies, he said. Acquiring funds to remodel the current Art/Tech Buildingand toconstructanew science building are top capital facilities issues for Western, he said. The maintenance (orequipment) budget, he said, is strained to the point where the school is barely able to maintain andrepair equipment, including the computers. "If we got more funds to buy computers we would really behard-pressed," he said. "What good arc new computers if you can't take care of them." Western alsowants the state to raise its enrollment lid. Froderberg said. In an October 17 Front story Western'sadmissions director Richard Rich! said the university stopped accepting applications from incomingfreshmen and transfer students October 10. Western has asked the Legislature to raise the lid by 150Full-Time-Equivalent students each year through 1989. Equity with the other regional universities â€”Central and Eastern â€” is another important topic, Froderberg said. During the '70s the Legislature cutbudgets at regional universities. Eastern and Central cut their instructional budgets, but Western cut itsbudget elsewhere. Eventually, funding was restored to Eastern and Central's instructional budgets.Western, however, didn't receive any new money. Later, when the regional universities were given newmoney, Eastern and Central often used it to hire more faculty. Western, though, often used its moneyto raise the salaries of its veteran faculty. This resulted in Western having the highest (24.1 to I) student-to-teacher ratio of the three. Eastern's is 18.5 to 1 and Central's is 19.2 to I. "We think this should becorrected," Froderberg said. But it has to do with Western being on a par with its peer schools infunding, rather than with Eastern and CentraK he said. "If Western's funding were equal to its peerschools, the equity question probably would be resolved," Froderbersz said. if AMERICAN CANCERSOCIETY" Help us keep winning PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

Sidles said themanager's position has been split into two jobs for more than a year and he also requested the boardrevise the pay schedule from an hourly rate to a quarterly salary of $600 for each position. The title ofoperations manager would be replaced by facilities manager and personnel manager, and bothemployees would report to the Recycle Center Coordinator. The division and reclassification of themanager's position will have no effect on the Recycling Center's budget, Sidles said. As it is now,Sidles said, "there's a great deal of confusion." The recycle center employees currently receive astarting pay of $3.95 per hour, with a 10 cent per hour raise after three quarters of employment, Sidlessaid. He said if a student filling either position were to work 16 hours a week â€” the maximum allowedby the university, the total earnings would be the same. "1 thought it would probably be moreappropriate to bring them to salary," Sidles said. "1 think that the $600 salary level is appropriate." Thebudget currently allows for two management positions: Sidles at $750 per quarter and the operationalmanager's. The benefit to the people filling the reclassified positions would be increased status andmaybe a shift in hours, as they already are performing management functions with financial andpersonnel responsibilities, he said. The board is scheduled to vote on the revised job description atits meeting next Wednesday. In other AS business: The board endorsed an upcoming Salvation Armyfood drive and is offering a $25 prize to the student organization collecting the most food. The SalvationArmy is seeking student volunteers to take part in the Walk and Knock food drive scheduled for Nov.15. Nursing program is ailing By Jerry Tegarden Despite a 1986 state-wide study indicating nursingwill be the most demanded skill in the Pacific Northwest by the year 2000, the future of Western'snursing program is uncertain. In October, Nursing Program Chairwoman Karen Moren met with nursingeducators and health professionals from throughout the country during conferences dealing withquestions about the profession. Moren traveled to Washington, D.C. last month for a conferencesponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The conference focused on the change in nursing to higher levels of education, such as an associate degree R.N., as entry requirements to theprofession. The other meeting, in Seattle, was sponsored by the Council for Nursing Educators inWashington. Officials at all levels of nursing discussed the emerging emphasis on higher educationalrequirements. Moren said Western's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the only other publicly fundedprogram in Western Washington besides the program at the University of Washington. "On a state level I found that there is support for this program, that there is a need for continuing this type of program,"Moren said. One reason for the need to continue Western's program, Moren said, is the difficulty ofgetting into the UW's program. "There are a fair number of private universities with a program similar toours. Of course the tuition here is a lot less than in a private school." The nursing program advisoryboard last week formed a committee with the task of developing proposals for Moren to present toWestern's administration by the end of November. The administration has indicated a willingness toconsider any proposals the advisory board and Moren can suggest, she said. "Even though we have a lotof support from the state and national organizations and the medical community, it may not be enough,"Moren said. LAURA TOWEY "1 think the whole issue comes down to administrative support forfunding here. The school may close down if we don't come up with some other options." According to areport by the Puget Sound Higher Education Consortium, the increased demand for nurses in the PugetSound area will be 10,000 in 14 years. Participants surveyed included officials from Western, UW,Central Washington University, Pacific Lutheran University and other Pacific Northwest universities. Thesix-year-old program receives about five inquiries a week from people interested in applying to theprogram at Western, Moren said. After 24 juniors entered the program this fall. Western suspendedenrollment because of a lack of state funding. The program is not closed, but applications will not beaccepted until at least 1990, the year when its accreditation expires. Moren said her office probablywould publish a statement listing concerns about the suspension and the possible end of the program.Some schools are considering sending petitions to Western's community. Moren suggested lettersshould be mailed to Western President G. Robert Ross. A copy also should be sent to Moren.

Connie Copeland, assistant to the vice president of Student Affairs, said themain objective is to educate Western's community about the issues and illegality of sexual harassment.Sexual harassment can happen to male students as well as females, she added. Maurice Bryan,Affirmative Action coordinator, will help publish the pamphlet, which Copeland hopes to distribute thisschool year. Two or three students also will be involved in writing the flyer, she added. "Education is thebest way for prevention." Copeland said. "It is less likely to happen if people in the environment areconcerned about it." According to Western's policy, sexual harassment occurs when someone in aposition of power or authority promises grades or other academic or work-related rewards to a student inexchange for sexual relations. Sexual harassment also occurs if the person in power subjects thestudent to unwanted sexual attention, verbally or physically, in the educational or work environment.Sexual harassment is anything from sexist jokes and innuendos to inappropriate advances toacademic rewards or punishments involving sexual conduct to sex crimes, Copeland said. CONNIECOPELAND Drawing attention to sexual harassment is "something we've wanted to do for a longtime," Copeland said. "Western has a good policy but there hasn't been enough education (on thesubject)." Sexual harassment only recently has become an issue on university campuses. It was notdeemed inappropriate until the mid 70s, she said, and was not defined as discriminatory until 1980.Because sexual discrimination is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, universities had to adoptpolicies and establish ways to address the issue. Copeland said. "There was a definite need for awritten policy," she said. Western's Board of Trustees adopted a policy for Western on Feb. 3, 1983.The policy set a standard investigation process for all sexual harassment complaints reported bystudents. The policy outlines the procedural stages beginning by referring the student to Copeland forinformal advice. To file a formal investigation, the student issues a signed complaint to the AffirmativeAction Office, which assesses the allegation. If the complaint warrants an investigation, it is forwardedto the appropriate vice president, who notifies the accused of the allegation and determines the course of action. The decision may be appealed to the Student Academic Grievances Board. At no time duringthe procedure is the student's name used without consent and the student is protected by the universityagainst retaliation. Before this policy was established, complaints were handled case by case, Copeland said. The number of incidents at Western is typical of other universities, she said. "From my informalcontact with students, we fit'the national norms,"she said. According to a booklet published by theProject on the Status and Education of Women last April, nationwide research revealed up to 30 percentof all female college students experience some form of sexual harassment. Two percent of femalestudents are directly threatened or bribed for sexual favors. The booklet contained no statisticalinformation concerning number of sexual harassment cases reported. On a campus of Western's size,these numbers translate to 3,000 and 200 victims, respectively. Western has not conducted anyresearch on campus statistics, Copeland said. She said Western has no plans to conduct one at thistime. Copeland said she sees one or two students each quarter who have harassment complaints.Copeland said the complaints range from "jokes (made in lectures) to physical involvement." Thestudents who have visited Copeland to complain about sexual harassment include three men, shesaid. "It's important to realize men are offended by sexist comments, too," Copeland said. At leastone student has filed a formal complaint since the policy was initiated in 1983, she said. Mostcomplaints are dealt with informally through the Student Affairs Office, she said, as the objective is tostop the behavior, not to punish the harasser. Copeland said students who have experienced sexualharassment may become scared and blame themselves for the incident. She said if people talk aboutit and start to ask questions, they may discover other people have become offended, too. Copelandemphasized the importance of discussing the issues. She suggested people also should talk to residentaides, friends, co-workers or faculty members. Students also can seek advice from the AS Women'sCenter or the Affirmative Action office. fWrnig^a^^SK^KJSElL.iMhi: gg IMllSJTSgXMBuSi THE BUSCOMPANY Now there's a new Bus Company in town In the Bellingham Mall next to Great HarvestBread Co.

The Vikings earned the trip to the nationals, which begins next Thursday, by placing third atthe NAIA District 1 regional meet last Saturday. The trip, including airfare, lodging, food and groundtransportation for Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia and seven runners, will cost about $3,000. The sevenrunners competing in the national meet are Brad Alexander, Steve Tollan, Neal Sherry, Brad Adams,Matt Ruhl, Hugh Webber and John Belsher. The group will leave Nov. 13, compete Nov. 15 and return to Bellingham the next day. The funds will be appropriated from the DRAC national travel budget, whichhas nearly $ 14,000 appropriated for fall quarter. The travel budget primarily is used to pay expenses forWestern students traveling to national competitions. But the budget also may be used for regional travel expenses. Athletic Director Boyde Long, a member of DRAC, made the request for the money on behalf of the cross country team. In other business during its second meeting of fall quarter DRAC re-electedChairwoman Tina Brinson. Also discussed was the nomination of four students for the Services andActivities Fee Committee. At least one student of the four nominated by DRAC . will serve on the feecommittee.

Or at least that's the sailing team's goal. "Racing the Flying Scots was likedriving someone else's car. It took us awhile to get the seat adjusted," skipper Mark Harang said ofWestern's three-man sailing team's performance at the recent Intercollegiate Sloop Championships inDetroit. Harang, a senior from Seattle majoring in technology, along with juniors Erik Hauge and AndySchwenk maneuvered their 20-foot sloop through the paces of the regatta last weekend. This was thefirst time the three shipmates, who also share a house, had sailed together in actual competition.They admitted finding it difficult to make headway with the Scots, a type of sloop none of them hasnavigated or even seen up close before. The Viking sailors typically race 14- foot dinghies and found thelarger Scots to be much more cumbersome and slow. But all vessels provided for use in regattas must be the same, Harang said. "Sailing is people against people, not boat against boat," Harang said. TheVikings' speed was not impressive throughout the first day. Gear breakage in the first, second and fourthraces slowed them down. Disappointed by the mechanical problems, Harang said, "It wasn't like wewere going to win otherwise. It was a higher caliber of sailing than we're used to." By the final day of theregatta, however, the crew of Vikings managed to haul in a second and a third place and missedwinning the final race by "mere inches." Schwenk said. Schwenk added that collegiate sailing is "ascompetitive as hell. You could sail without a single mistake and still not be able to win." Dave Lutz. aneducation major with two years on the sailing team, emphasized competition fine tunes skills moreeffectively. Hauge agreed, adding "We learned a lot more last weekend than we have in a longer period of regular practices." The Detroit regatta's seven races gave each team the opportunity to sail every boat.Western competed against crews representing Springhill, Navy, Stanford, the University of Michigan,Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Gollege of Charlestown, ranked number one in sailing last year. All teams raced with three crew members, but most of the schools competing at last week'sraces brought along surplus crews. This allowed the teams to mix and match their members to achievethe most advantageous weight combinations, Hauge said. "We were a little heavy," Hauge said.Western could afford only to send three men to the regatta and had to leave their coach, Jeff Davis, athome. The Vikings compete in the Northwest District of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association.Western is one of 14 schools in the district encompassing Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.Sailing is a club sport at Western and university funding to the club amounts to approximately $900 ayear, Lutz said. Some East Coast schools invest thousands of dollars in their sailing teams. The team is seeking funding from private backers, such as the Sailing Foundation in Seattle and plans to stageseveral fund-raisers. The Western sailors agreed the Northwest has a potential for important sailingregattas, but they don't believe sailing is stressed in the Northwest as strongly as it is on the East coast. Most of the prestigious regattas are .sailed on the East coast or in California, Harang said. The Vikings have tied down wins in KRISTI MOEN Crew Karee Loghry takes a dip in Lake Whatcom as skipper ErikHauge maneuvers the Alpha in light winds during practice Wednesday. each elimination regatta they'vecompeted in and are 4-0 in district competition. Hauge, Schwenk, Lutz and Harang agreed that theteams from Lewis and Clark, the University of Victoria and the University of Washington consistentlyprovide their stiffest competition. During the Thanksgiving break, Harang, Hauge and their crew, AndreaHenderson and Karee Loghry, will travel to Chicago to compete in one of the most prestigious races inthe country, the Timme Angsten Regatta. They won the right to race in Chicago when they beat nineother teams in elimination races in Victoria, B.C. on Oct. 25 and 26. The four express a desire todevelop depth of skill among all members of the team, not just in the top crew. The team gradually hasimproved during the past three years, Lutz said. This season's team is the strongest Western hasassembled. "We want to develop a strong base for continuing success for the future and welcomenewcomers," Lutz said. The Vikings hope to qualify for Dinghy Nationals this year at the MerchantMarines Academy in Kingsport, N.Y. They also will be sailing for the J.F. Kennedy Cup Memorial Regatta at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. By attending more and more national regattas, they hope toachieve a national ranking one day. Harang will be competing in a Laser class single-handed regatta inAlabama Nov. 14-16 against teams from 16 others schools. v Last year. Harang captured 10th place of16 in this competition sailed in Hawaii. The regatta is moved to a different location each year.Western's district is the only one with sailboard regattas, and this weekend the Vikings will host the"Psychedelic Rasta Board Regatta. Part II" on Lake Whatcom. Races will begin at 9 a.m. onSaturday and run until it gets dark, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the next day.

For some reason, Reagan thinks theStrategic Defense Initiativeâ€”Star Warsâ€”is worth such a lost opportunity. But America's scientificcommunity is trying to tell the president to come back down to planet Earth. The Cornell Institute forSocial and Economic Research released a survey this week indicating the scientists who would build the space defense don't think it would work. Ninety-eight percent of a cross section of National Academy ofScience members said Star Wars probably wouldn't stop enough incoming Soviet missiles to safelydefend American populations. Eighty-one percent said the chances are poor to extremely poor that StarWars can be made cost effective, as Reagan claims it can. Only 10 percent support the program. Eighty-five percent said Reagan hasn't listened to scientists enough regarding the feasibility of SD1. If thepresident's ignorance of the facts didn't have such broad ranging and life-threatening consequences, wecould joke about Reagan's hear-no-evil pose. As it stands though, we'd better hope the scientists insisttheir voices are heard. And when the scientists who refuse to build Reagan's new suit of armor tell us the"Great Communicator" has no clothes, perhaps we ought to listen. Education needs critical thought Arecent report by the Carnegie Foundation entitled "College: the Undergraduate Experience in America,"seems to imply the questionâ€”whatever happened to critical thought as a goal of education? Conflictingpressures and demands have confused the goals of many universities, the report states. It quotes amidwest college president, "It's all right to talk about liberal arts goals but we have to face up to whatstudents want today." With today's emphasis on specific job skills many university departments are littlemore than vocational training schools. They bear little resemblance to the liberal arts schools of the past. What sort of education do we get at Western? It appears from Western's published three-year objectives that this university is more concerned with meeting the needs of business and industry than providingstudents a quality education and teaching them to think. With the kinds of crises facing the worldtodayâ€”threats of nuclear war, economic collapse and environmental degradationâ€”it seems the mostimportant asset a college graduate could have is a broad education and the ability to think critically.The Carnegie report states, "This nation and the world need well-informed, inquisitive, open-minded youngpeople who are both productive and reflective, seeking answers to life's most important questions." Thestudent, of course, bears a portion of the responsibility for his or her own education. But, more often itseems students are cranked through the system without time to think or wonder or question theinformation being thrown at them. Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation, writes, "Manyof the nation's colleges and universities are more successful in credentialing than in providing a qualityeducation for their students." Any one university cannot be everything to everbody, but a direction anda goal are important. The report states, "A quality college is guided by a clear and vital mission."Critical thinking is not absent from Western, but the student must dig it out. It is not a required course.Education is the foundation of a free, democratic society.

I magine seeing the smiling face of Pope John Paul II on Sundaymornings saying Latin mass. Cable Vatican? The Vatican needs a cable channel in the United States.Maybe the Vatican could call the channel PopeTV, and give two reports an hour on the Polish Pontiffwith contemporary Catholic New Age artist George Michael Talbot playing guitar music in thebackground. I believe the Pontiff could even give daily sermons from his pulpit in the Vatican. Ofcourse he'd have to change his attire to suit the tastes of pray TV viewers and its addicts. 'TheWillamette Week' in Portland, Oregon, ran a column ou people's favorite tele-vangelists. If the Pope hada cable channel, or even a weekly show, I'm sure many people would write the 'Willamette Week'saying their favorite was John Paul II instead of Tammy Bakker of the PTL (Praise The â€¢Igllll iiiiliiiiiliLord) Club. The Pope has stiff competition from Bakker. She has bodacious ta-tas and cries lots whenasking for "bookoo" bucks for the Christian Broadcasting Network and assorted, sordid ministries. ThePolish Pontiff cannot cry on PopeTV since he is not a big breasted woman in a ministerial positionbegging folks for cash. John Paul disapproves of women in ministerial positions who cry and he mustmaintain a macho Catholic sincerity. Strike one. John Paul also can't wear gallons of Amway make-up or show any compassionate tendencies because people might question his sexuality. The Popecondemned homosexual acts on October 30 and might be considered hypocritical if he wore partydresses and rouge like Bakker. Strike two. Tammy Bakker also sings more insipid Protestant hymnsthan the Pope. John Paul II sings in Polish or Latin, and pray television addicts misinterpreteverything foreign other than "schmuck." The Polish Pontiff could attempt Kyrie by Mr. Mister, butwhy bother? Strike three. Maybe Tammy Bakker is the best televangelist after all. Bodacious ta-tas,pancake mascara, and sincere tears make a better TV evangelist. Maybe the Pope should keep hismouth shut. He doesn't have the star power of a Bakker, or a Gene Scott, or even a Jimmy Swaggart.Maybe if he wore polyester . . . PopeTV. Praise Rome! Made in our own image Campaigns stuck in themud T his fall politics wallowed in mud and money. Campaigning leading up to the Nov. 4 electionswas marked, perhaps marred, by pervasive personal attacks and attempts at character assassination by candidates upon their opponents. Potshots were fired across paid TV and newspaper advertisements more often than not. This image-bashing was even reflected in the cultural mirror of Doonesbury, whereol' Lacey Davenport is running for Congress, staging a hyper-conscious campaign to come acrossdrug-free and clean in the public eye amidst her opponent's mud-slinging. Who lied? Who's on drugs?Who promised what and never came through? Who's a commie sympathizer? Who's got dirty laundry?Who cares? Perhaps too many of us. Some critics have been insightful enough to point out thatcandidates' stands on the issuesâ€” supposedly the real stuff of politicsâ€”have been buried in this TV and newsprint "image" barrage. Perhaps, though, we haven't yet 'fessed up to the realization that we'regetting only what we deserve. We do, after all, have an actor for president. And sad to say he didn't justbop off the screenâ€” we elected him. Ronald Reagan has so succeeded in making image moreimportant than issue that it's appearing suicidal for political hopefuls to not use the same ploy. He hasshown that you can bumble with policies and misrepresent facts and still be popular, as long as youproject a sincere image, offer easy solutions to complex problems and make people feel good aboutthemselves and America. So when candidates this fall chose to attack one another instead of addressthe issues, it was just the seamier side of the image consciousness that pervades our culture. Andwho can we blame for these tacks but ourselves? Day in and night out we indulge in fantastic images.Advertising and fashion models, professional athletes, rock stars and movie heroes like our ownpresident project cultural ideals we too often literally buy into. Fifty-minute dramas and 30- second sales pitches, cut-and-splice spoon-fed TV dinnertime versions of world news lead us to believe someone else will solve life's difficultiesâ€”or we can just change the channel. To demand that our politiciansaddress the issues, we must first take up the issues ourselves. Care and interest and work, on localissues or state and federal campaigns, bind us to their outcomes. Demanding that our electedofficials, debate issues we're wrapping our lives in would naturally follow our own commitment. Littlepatience would be left in an involved electorate for bickering among the candidates about whether therepublican goes to what church, or did the democrat smoke pot in college. Until then, we can count oninstant replays of this autumn's mud bath. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 7 ---------- Â» FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 7 LETTERS BjaanmHaHHBBBB Writer's writing not writing, right? Western Front: Dear Mark Connolly. What's the matter? Is it that you don't knowwhat to write about, or haven't you done any research? I've read two of your recent columns and stillhaven't been presented with any of your ideas or information on the topics about which you write. You write about writing about things without ever writing about them. Instead of listing all the ongoing butforgotten world conflicts that aren't in fashion anymore, why not dig into one of them and give us somenew ideas and information. Keep them alive if they are so important to you and us. You almost wroteabout the El Salvador bombing campaigns of '83-84 in your Oct. 24 column. But you shifted toemphasize the fact that we don't hear about them. You even write about other people writing about them (or not writing about them). Again I wonder, what about them besides the fact that nobody wrote aboutthem? What about their "visciousness or consequences?" Discuss media coverage with otherjournalists. I would rather get more of your insights into what's happening, more straight information. Just the facts m'am. Otherwise you're doing just what you say the rest of the media are doing. Bob ReinerH)f)U, (XIOBKH .*!, WKS7t:/t\ FROM New program aims toward China Jhi)^:Â«cU,cVt(f;Triim;thi':Coordinator clears up China quote Western Front: Your article of Oct. 31, 1986 on the China TeachingSpecialist Program was informative and basically correct. However, 1 would like to bring to yourattention additional information given during the interview. Although the back door to China does exist, if anyone wants to accomplish things in China, the preferred entrance is through proper channels andprocedure. Of course, personal contacts are helpful, but are not the most important way to China. Ifanything "quoted" in the article was not appropriate for relations between Western Washington University and China, I offer my sincere apologies. Also, if anyone would like to discuss the article with me, Iwould be most happy to do so. Andrea I'ram, Coordinator, International Programs Business back doornot program's point Western Front: A serious bit of misunderstanding has been published in TheWestern Front regarding the China Language Program newly created on this campus. The article(page 3, Friday, Oct. 31) suggests that the thrust of the program is to teach students how to usethe backdoor in doing business in China. This is not so. The program is based on the greatest respect for the government and people of the Peoples' Republic of China. The goal of the China LanguageProgram is to help students understand that system, not to change it or to find "backdoors" to access it. Certainly, the social systems of government and business are different in the P.R.C. than in theU.S. In recognizing these differences, we are, in no way, making judgments. The China LanguageProgram goal is to help our students understand China so that they, and later the companies ororganizations they work for, can build on this knowledge for the benefit of both the P.R.C. and the U.S.Such a mutual benefit can only be based on mutual trust and respect. I am truly sorry any otherinference was conveyed through the article in The Western Front. George Drake, Special Asst. to Pres.for International Programs Teaching in China personal and fun Western Front: As a senior at WWUmajoring in East Asian Studies and having spent last year studying in China, I was quite amused to read your article concerning Ms. Andrea Uram and her CTSP program (Oct. 31). From reading the articleit is made quite obvious that rather than potential applicants, it is Ms. Usram who "entertains romanticnotions" concerning China and the program goals. As a guest lecturer to the program in early October. I talked with a group of five people ranging in age and interests who in my impression wanted to teach English in China out of personal interest and yes, Ms.Uram, even fun. My task was to relate myexperience in China to the group and also to answer questions concerning what to expect, etc . . . I didnot encounter a group who was there to "learn the structure of their professions in China" but rather toacquire a minimal understanding of the Chinese language, culture and history. This aspect, I agree, isuseful to the potential teacher of English in China for there won't be neighborhood 7-1 Is manned byEnglish-speaking in Chongsq-ing. But to infer that upon their return from China that the programparticipant will be a "crucial contact" for organizations wishing to do business with China is ludicrous.Granted, the Chinese don't do business as Americans do, rather they do business on their own termspref-errably using the Chinese language. Western's CTSP program "is the only one of its kind in theworld"and due to the fact that it doesn't guarantee much of anything, will most likely be the last one ofits kind in the world.

One popular form of these synthetic drugs is MDMA, better known on the street as "XTC," "ecstasy" or "Adam." MDMA is an analogue or chemicalcousin of the illegal stimulant MDA, a hallucinogenic amphetamine, which has been around since themid 1960's. MDMA is a derivative of oil of sassafras or oil of nutmeg and was first synthesized in 1914by chemists who were going to use it as an appetite suppressant. The drug comes in a powdered formwhich is usually taken orally, but can also be inhaled or absorbed through the gums like cocaine. Itproduces a euphoric state and has been called an aphrodisiac or "hug drug" according to the August1985 issue of Life magazine. A 1985 issue of Psychology Today said the psychiatric community usedMDMA as a therapeutic drug for patients. Evidently it helped patients relax and broke down emotionaldefenses, allowing them to talk freely about their problems. Some people have experienced negative side effects from a session with ecstasy such as muscle tension, nausea, faintness and chills or sweating. ^s f n ^ D x ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ p s m h e d XTC in 19lg1|^|^^^^^^^^Slkli ^ i l ed substance.

It's in the teeth. It's in the blood. And it's in the media. Lately,television viewers have been inundated with commercials pushing the need for calcium. Magazines carryadvertisements with drawings of women whose spines are collapsing as they age. Food manufacturers are adding calcium to products such as the soft drink Tab, and informing the world about it throughextensive media campaigns. "It (calcium) is the latest thing," Western's University Nutritionist ShellyZyl-stra said. "A few years ago natural was the thing, but all that means is 'without chemicaladditives.'" Most of the publicity focuses on the dangers of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bonesbecome porous and brittle. It affects one in four women over the age of 60, and is caused primarily byprolonged low calcium intake. "Professional nutritionists have known about osteoporosis for years,"Zylstra "Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that theaccount is closed," Zylstra said. The bones of an osteoporosis victim are highly susceptible to fractures, especially the hip bones. The highly publicized humped spine is caused by the collapse of vertebrae.Osteoporosis cannot be cured, but it can be prevented through exercise and sufficient calcium intakethroughout life. "For the average college student, I'd recommend 1000 milligrams (of calcium) a day, even though the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is only 800," Zylstra said. The televisioncommercials, sponsored by such groups as the Dairy Farmers of Washington, tend to stress dairy foodsas sources of calcium. Although calcium can come from a variety of other sources, Zylstra said milkand milk products are the easiest and most efficient. Three cups of milk a day provide about 900milligrams of calcium, and milk is It's just a hype, but it certainly cant hurt/ said. "We've made itpublic, they've manufactured a need. It's a merchandising technique." Although 99 percent of thebody's calcium is stored in the bones, calcium also is needed for muscle contraction including thebeating heart, blood coagulation, and nerve transmission. If daily intake is insufficient to meet theseneeds, the body will withdraw the calcium stored in the bones. usually fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin Dis necessary for the body to absorb calcium. Some people, however, don't like milk. "College studentsprefer to think beer is better for them," Zylstra said. Those who don't like or can't drink milk can findcalcium in non-dairy foods as well. A three-ounce serving of sardines with bones, for example, has 372milligrams of calcium. A half cup of bokchoy lettuce has 126 milligrams. Blackstrap molasses has 137milligrams of calcium per tablespoon. A whiskey and soda has no calcium. The calcium content of somefoods can be misleading, however. Oxalic acid, present in many high calcium greens, binds with calcium and makes it unusable. "There's all that lovely calcium and it isn't available to the human being," Zyl-"They go out holding hands with a calcium molecule," she said. Nicotine also decreases calciumretention. Calcium supplements are one option for increasing calcium intake. Zylstra recommendscalcium carbonate, available as an ingredient in antacids or in "generic" form. Calcium carbonatecontains 40 percent *Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that the account is closed/ stra said. Spinach, chard, and beet greens are high in oxalic acid. Caffeinealso affects the body's retention of calcium. Linda Massey of Washington State University said astudy conducted there showed caffeine causes excess excretion of calcium in the urine. Two cups ofcoffee, she said, causes the loss of approximately 30 milligrams of calcium. To counteract the loss, she recommended adding 100 milligrams of calcium to the diet. Consuming an excess of fiber can alsointerfere with calcium absorption, but Zylstra said that is not much of a problem in this country. "You'dhave to be mainlining bran," she said. A bigger problem in this country is excess protein. Zylstra saidthe average American consumes two to three times what is necessary.

I don't know why, it's very expensive."Zylstra said. It also contains only 13 percent calcium by weight. Calcium Gluconate, another expensive supplement, contains only 9 percent.Calcium is flavorless, and easy to add to food. This has led some food manufacturers to capitalize onpublic awareness of osteoporosis by adding calcium to their products. "It's just a hype, but it certainlycan't hurt," Zylstra said of the added calcium. She said it would be nearly impossible to ingest too muchcalcium, but it is easy to overdose on vitamin D. She said it could become a problem if too manyproducts are fortified with vitamin D in addition to calcium. Calcium is cheap, Zylstra said.

The Women's Center began publishing Labyrinth as a newsletter. In the past five years ithas become more of a representation of the Women's Center, and less of a newsletter, Rodgers said.This change of format allows the increased opportunity for women to express themselves in print media,she said. "Women are really under-represented in the published arts." Submissions for Labyrinth varyfrom issue to issue, Rodgers said. She said she would like to publish a variety of women's experiences,from the political to the personal level, anything that concerns women's artistic expressions. "So far,everything that's come in has been poems," Rodgers said, but she said she would like to see Labyrinthcontain poetry, short pieces of fiction, photographs and graphics. ;; "I'd like to leave it pretty broad,"she said, but, "I wouldn't want to print anything detrimental to women." The magazine doesn't acceptsubmissions from men. The magazine was allocated money by the Associated Students in the past,but last year the Activities Council discontinued their budget. The AS discontinued direct funding forLabyrinth because of reorganization of policies and allocations, said Brent Arndt, AS vice-president forActivities. He said the last year's Activities Council wanted Labyrinth to find other funding, such as ad v e r t i s i n g , bef pre they approached the council for funds. Like other AS organizations Labyrinthmust go before the council to request funding for: projects. "They (Labyrinth) could go to the ActivitiesCouncil to ask for funds, through the Women's Center," Arndt said. Funding is possible, "it just dependson the decisions of the council," he said. The magazine editors are trying to find funding through other outlets, including soliciting ads and organizing fundraisers. Rodgers was selected as editor in thebeginning of fall quarter, partially because she explains, "no one else volunteered for the job.'' Rodgerssaid she has been interested in editing Labyrinth for some time, through her experiences as acontributor for the magazine in the past. She currently is a part-time student taking a creative writingclass, and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Rodgers said her work as the editor has allowedher to utilize her degree, as well as train her in editing. The Women's Center is accept-j i j j j i i p ^^Â«^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â§WÂ§M^iiMXS^^ JEAN RODGERS ing the submissions for Labyrinth, and they are"starting to trickle in," said Tami Brecken-ridge, coordinator of the Women's Center. Submissiondeadline is Dec. 2, for the issue to be published early winter quarter. Women interested in contributing to Labyrinth can contact the Women's Center, Viking Union 211, or leave their pieces in an envelopeoutside the door. People interested in having their submissions returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. "Women are really welcome to send in stuff, that's what it's there for," Rodgerssaid. Pu b l i c a t i o n in Jeopardy, Western's annual literary magazine, can be a good way for writers and artists to get exposure and experience. Connie McCollum, this year's Jeopardy editor, said theexperience can give writers a feel for what it's like to submit works, make revisions and see the finalworks in print. Last year, McCollum submitted an excerpt from her fiction novel, "Rain-daughters." Aftersome revisions the excerpt was published in Jeopardy. "Now, I can see all kinds of places I couldredevelop and re-examine," she said. "The errors really glare." She said Jeopardy gives new writers achance to have their work reviewed critically by other writers and the general public. Jeopardy's editors are available to help Writers make revisions on their submissions. The literary magazine, funded by the Associated Students, is distributed free throughout Western's campus. Other universities, such asWashington State University, exchange their literary publications for copies of Jeopardy which ispublished each spring. Besides publishing fiction, non-fiction, poetry and prose, Jeopardy acceptsgraphic and photographic works. McCollum said she is interested in using more graphics andphotographs. "In our choice of paper we're being real careful to choose paper that will reproduce artwell," she said. In the past, Jeopardy has published few student works. McCollum said this may bebecause most students either don't know about the publication or they think it's only for Englishgraduates. McCollum, a Falrhaven student, said she's trying to increase the number of students whohave works published in Jeopardy by informing more students about how to submit works. She's alsoencouraging students from Western's sister university the University of El Salvador, to submit works.Written pieces from El Salvador will be translated into English with the writer's permission. Jeopardy has accepted work from all over the United States and Canada. "As editor of Jeopardy I feel we can no longer represent such a small part of the world. I'd like to do a special issue that features work from ElSalvador," she said. Written submissions should be typed. All submissions should include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submissions can be sent to Jeopardy, Humanities 350. Deadline isJan. 15. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 5 ---------- BER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT ACCENT 5 ifiP^ By Lynn Baldwin staff reporter s* t ^u This minute itcould be-:; i5iiipIIII||^liiBiiii*K" !iiPiiiBSiiiSiiBÂ«iii â€¢iiiBlilii^ll^lliii â€¢lÂ»llli^lilBiÂ«Â»iSSÂ«Â«^lililiÂ»ilPiiiBlÂ« - â€¢ - â€¢ ' ^ c k e V i o r - p u t t i r i g^ from c l i e n t s , ^ I've been workmg ^ f e 1 ffiTaka^M^ ion t l l i ^ n write.

He will perform tonight with pianoaccompaniment and tomorrow with the Western wind ensemble. "Hemke is clearly one of the bestconcert saxophonists in the world," Wayne Gorder, Western wind ensemble conductor said. Hemke, aprofessor at Northwestern University in Illinois, studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Pariswhere he became the first American to win first prize in saxophone. Author of several books, Hemkealso has recorded two solo records and has performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.Saxophonists can even buy "Hemke" reeds in music stores. The majority of the soloist's expenses arebeing paid by La Voz, a reed-making company and Selmer, a musical instrument company. Gordersaid expenses for guest soloists usually vary between $1,000 and $3,000. Hemke arrived yesterdayto practice with Western's wind ensemble and Lisa Bergman, Western pianist. Tonight at 8, Hemke willgive a solo recital with Bergman in the PAC Concert Hall. He will perform with the wind ensembletomorrow at 8 p.m. The wind ensemble will perform Ingolf Dahl's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone andWind Orchestra." In addition, the wind ensemble will perform music by Gustav Hoist, Percy Grainger,Charles Ives, Charles Gounod and contemporary Czech composer Zdenek Lukas. Tickets are $4general and $2 for students. Proceeds will go to the Western Music Department scholarship fund.Puppeteer presents classics By Jerry Tegarden staff reporter Frankenstein, The Hound of theBaskervilles, Hamlet and King Arthur are part of the Clay Martin's Puppet Theatre at tonight's MamaSundays. Martin, 34, is a graduate of George Washington University in Dramatic Arts. He first came toSeattle 10 years ago to try his luck at acting. After two years Martin decided to give it up and becomea Seattle stockbroker. "I'd finally had it. I was no longer going to try to make it as an actor," Martin said. "I was the kind of actor who always wanted to do all the parts. One day I discovered I could," he said.Two months later he decided to try a production of "Sir George and the Dragon." To save the hassles of a full stage production he built a puppet stage, made some puppets and took his show to the Pike Place Market. After his first show he counted his tips and found $12. Armed with the knowledge that he couldmake a Jiving playing the streets he quit his stockbroking job. Martin said playing on the streets isn'talways easy. At the 1980 Pike Place Street Fair his stage almost was set on fire by an inebriated critic."Luckily a friend who was there discouraged him," he said. Four years ago, while performing at a party in Saugetuck, Michigan, he met Burr Tilstrom, the creator of Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Martin said Till-stromtook an immediate interest in his work and invited him to his workshop. "It was sort of a master's classright there," he said. Tillstrom hired him as a technician and puppet-maker for several television specialson WMAQ-TV Chicago. Martin's puppetry also was featured on the CBS Morning News in 1982. Martinperforms a series of short pieces in his show including the 325-year-old classic "Punch and Judy." "Iplay lots of versions of Punch; Punch with Judy, Punch and the Policeman, Punch and the Hangman and others," Martin said. He does all the voices for his plays. Punch's voice is done with the aid of aswazzle. A swazzle is a reed held in the mouth, which gives Punch his characteristic squeaky voice.The other part of Martin's show is a 45-minute play about King Arthur. His adaptation of the storycontains 13 characters and each has a specific personality conveyed as much by voice as appearance.The performance is free and begins at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Coffeeshop. Comedic 'End of the World' sparks laughs and discussion Old Main Theater may explode with laughter when the play "End of theWorld" hits the stage. "End of the World,"by Arthur Kopit is the theater/dance department's fallproduction. Dennis Catrell, chairman of the department, will direct the comedy. The play is set inStanford, Conn. Micheal Trent, played by Sean Robinson, is a playwright. He is approached by PhilipStone, a wealthy industrialist played by Chuck Harper, and is commissioned to write a play on nuclearproliferation. "The topic of it may not be attractive but the treatment of the topic is comedic," Catrellsaid. It's a play containing comedy and mystery, he said. The show follows Trent through his troubleswriting and researching the play, Catrell said. "We see what kinds of impact the city and militaryexperts have on Trent's personal life." "It deals with a topic of current public concern, but it's not apropaganda play either," Catrell said. The play deals with a question that pertains to all of us, he said. Following the performance will be a discussion about the play. The play opens at 7:30 p.m. . Nov. 12 in the Old Main Theater and will run through Nov. 15. On Sunday, Nov. 16, the prefor-mance will be at 2:15 p.m. Admission is $4.50 general and $3.50 students/seniors. 'Til Tuesday provides surprising sinceritymusic By Bill Freeberg staff reporter Aimee Mann and 'Til Tuesday survive the sophomore slump anddepart from angst to honesty on their new album, "Welcome Home." By expanding her vocal andstylistic range. Mann communicates a sincerity that was lacking in the pain-filled songs on 'TilTuesday's debut album, "Voices Carry." Til Tuesday begins the album with "What About Love."This song maintains the moody style of their previous work. The change in their style occurs lyrically. When Mann embraces the verse, "Living in silence/Living by the book/You can make it a science/ Living on onegood look," listeners know they're in for a change. The best song on "Welcome Home" is the tear-jerking, country flavored ballad, "Coming Up Close." On the song, Joey Pesce accents Mann's vocalswith a charming keyboard arrangement. "Coming Up Close" cuts deeper into the real Mann, showing aperson behind all the pain. She doesn't scratch the surface of her pain, but digs into her soul and singswith heartbreaking honesty. These two cuts toss any preconceived image of the band as gloommongers. 'Til Tuesday proves it isn't as limited as once percieved by critics. "On Sunday" also presentsthe listener with a refined vocal arrangement. This song deals with the redemptive grace of a lovingrelationship. "On Sunday" moves Mann from pain's center to the person who is comforting the hurt lover,a bold lyrical move that proves successful. Side one ends with another ballad, "David Denies." Mannonce again proves she has a vocal range, and sings in the higher registers. Mann fills the song withtouching ironies about love and the frailties of relationships. Side two maintains the lyrical andmusical consistency of the album. "Angels May Fall" juxtaposes the lushness of Roxy Music and theoff-beat subtleties of the ballads from the Beatles"'Sgt. Pepper" album. Producer Rhett Davies, who hasworked with Roxy Music, elaborately fills the mix with rushes of synthesizers. The band has also grownstylistically. Joey Pesce's keyboards and synthesizers create haunting backgrounds for most of theballads, and Robert Holmes gets to loosen uponguitarevery once in a while. Holmes even belts out a fewmoody licks in "Lover's Day." Davies and 'Til Tuesday have created an album that should entrench theband in the charts. "Welcome Home" is a welcome change of pace from a band most people expectedless from. 'Til Tuesday has come home with an album that could be considered one of the closetclassics of 1986.

To demonstrate the need for a stage renovation and present quality entertainment, theMount Baker Theatre Committee has invited the orchestra to perform at the theatre, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m.The Mount Baker Theatre, which was built in 1927, is listed on the National Register of HistoricalPlaces. The landmark needs a larger stage so it can accomodate performing groups such as thesymphony orchestra, she said. She said the cost for the renovation is quoted at $1.2 million andthe money would be raised through matching grants from major foundations. The symphony, conductedby Nicolas Bussard, will perform Beethoven's Edgmont Overture, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Caucasian Sketchesand Variations for Orchestra by Edward Rutsch-man, a Western music professor. "'Variations forOrchestra' is a challenging 17-minute piece that gives sections of the orchestra a chance to show off,"said Rutschman, who serves as graduate program advisor and music theory coordinator at Western.Appearing with the symphony will be Seattle Symphony's violin soloist Linda Melsted. She will befeatured in Tchaikovsky's 'Concerto for Violin.' Tickets for the performance are on sale from 1 to 5 p.m.,weekdays at the Mount Baker Theatre Committee office, or at Box Office Northwest. Prices are $5, $4and $3. Local bands converge on album By David Einmo staff reporter Everything from rock to reggaewill be represented on Music Connection's compilation album, "Once in a Lifetime." The album, which is scheduled for release in December, will feature 10 Whatcom County bands. Dave Lewis, thecoordinator of Music Connection, along with John Rants, part-owner of TCD Productions have beenplanning the album since last May. Music Connection is a non-profit o r g a n i z a t i o n for aidingmusicians. Lewis and Rants originally planned a concert with 33 bands performing for the public at apark in Bellingham last spring. Lewis said the bands were going to be judged against each other, andthe winners would appear on a compilation album. The Parks Department, however, cancelled theshow because it feared security problems, Lewis said. But the Up and Up Tavern provided a stage forthe musicians, when the owners invited Lewis and the bands to play at the club. "They make a realhabit of helping out local musicians," Lewis said. The tavern hosted five to six bands each Thursday,Friday and Saturday night for two weeks in September and October. Ten of the bands from those shows appear on the album, which was recorded live at the Up and Up. "Once in a Lifetime" features thefoursome e.e. penguin; two solo vocalists, Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr; country bands Suzy and theQ's, and Wild Country Vocal Band; reggae rockers The Tourists; jazz from Jade Waller; and three rockand roll bands, The Reaction, Ed Knight, and Tony Branco. Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr, who metafter the recording, have since begun working together. Lewis said he hopes to make the concertsand album an annual event. He said next year he would like to reach an agreement with the city ofBellingham to incorporate an outdoor festival during the city's July 4 celebration. Lewis said he wouldlike to record another compilation album during the pending summer performances. Music Connectionalso assists bands by helping them get concerts, connecting band members with other musicians and providing workshops. "It's just musicians helping other musicians," Lewis said. He said the theMusic Connection album will be available in local music stores.

Wilcox also publishes the Wilcox Report, a newsletter on the American left and right. In 1965 he established the Wilcox Collection on Contemporary Political Movements, in the Kenneth SpencerResearch Library at the University of Kansas. It is one of the largest of its kind, he said. His publications and collection are used primarily by libraries and researchers, he said. Wilcox said he was alwayscurious about belief systems. "I grew up in a very intense intellectual family where people discussedthings," he said. "I used to hear people talk about these political abstractions." His involvement inpolitical movements began when he was 17, with such activities as sit-ins and Socialist Labor meetings. He enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1961, and continued his involvement in left-of-centerorganizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1966 he dropped out of campus leftistorganizations. "All of a sudden the student movement started to get violent," he said. Increased drug use among student activists also disturbed him. Although he no longer belonged to these organizations, he continued going to the meetings; He also began attending meetings of right-wing organizations, and became interested in how people come to their beliefs. "What people believe is not so important to meas why," he said. The "why" will be the topic of his speech at Western. Wilcox said he has come toknow about 400 "ideolouges," or members of extremist groups. "They're not bad people. That's just astrue of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher. They're all trying to do the right thing as they seeit," Wilcox said. cult than investigating political groups. "They demand so much from you," he said ofthe cults. With most political groups he can walk in, listen, and leave, he said. "With religious groupsthat works the first time, but after that they're all over you," he said. Wilcox^said he generally has notrouble getting members of extremist groups to talk to him, generally by using "very effective" basicinterviewing techniques. His collection catalogues roughly 7,000 groups in the far right and far left. 1hey're not bad people. That's just as true of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher.} "I try tounderstand them, I don't try to hate them," he said. Wilcox conducts most of his research from inside agroup. "If you really want to understand (a group) you have to let yourself get immersed in them," hesaid. This technique works, Wilcox said, but "sometimes it's been kind of embarrassing." For instance,"Once I was at a meeting of the John Birch Society, and without realizing it I began using some leftistcliches." Investigating cult religious groups this way can be more diffi- "Some are pretty decent groupsand some are crazy as hell," he said. Wilcox said he believes even the craziest of these groups has aright to exist. They contribute to the enormous political diversity which is a major strength of thiscountry, he said. They also encourage thought, and examination of beliefs, he said. "I don't think it hurts anyone to hear a Nazi or a Communist or whatever," Wilcox said.

Page 10 Tuesday,April 30,1996 Volume 96 Issue 7 WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University Nice shoesBellingham, Washington Problem election has AS concerned Out-of-state students add diversity ByAmy Stering The Western Front Though only a small percentage of Western's students come fromout of Washington state, they help provide a diverse student body. Director of Admissions KarenCopetas said admission decisions are made by looking at various categories: incoming freshmen,transfer students, graduate students and former Western students. Because Western receives arelatively small percentage of out-of-state freshman applicants, standards for all freshman Â§admissions do not differ. Copetas said Admissions received about 5,300 freshman applicants this fallfrom August Wegener Washington state compared to only 700 out-of-state freshman applicants. "Wedon't have to take residency into consideration for freshman admission," Copetas said. "We want toproduce a fairly well-rounded class and would like to have some out-of-state representation. We feel likethat enhances everybody's education." The admission process becomes more selective with transferstudents from out of state, Copetas added. She explained that higher education in Washington has anagreement between the community colleges and baccalaureate institutions. The agreement providesaccess to students who go through a community college, earn an associate degree and then transferto a public university. Transfer students have priority if they are a Washington resident, coming from aWashington community college with a completed associate of arts degree or 90 transferable credits."Historically, we have been able to admit over 95 percent of our associate's holders in that group,"Copetas said. Space for out-of-state students is limited because 75 to 80 transfer spaces are takenby Washington state students. Once out-of-state students are admitted, the shock of non-residenttuition kicks in. Non-residents pay $2,763 per quarter compared to Washington resident's tuition of$841 (assuming 10-18 credits are taken and including all mandatory fees). Senior August Wegener, from Portland, Ore., said out-of-state students endure not only costly tuition, but also expensive phone billsand expenses associated with traveling to and from home. Wegener said coming to Western was the"best investment I could have made. This experience is worth it and I wouldn't change it for the world." A few activities this summer and in the fall helped these students adjust, said Anna Carey, assistantdirector of New Student Programs/Family Outreach. A mailing in July gave students information aboutarriving early to residence halls, shipping packages and offered advice about different ways to travelto Bellingham. Carey said some aren't aware that Bellingham has an airport, or that they could arrive by Amtrak. New Student Programs/Family Outreach also provided a dinner for out-of-state students. Thedinner served as an opportunity to meet other students in the same situation. Although thesestudents don't have a sense about familiar places and things, Carey said, "They have the advantage ofseeing Washington with new eyes. We live in a beautiful area. It's a great opportunity to locate in theNorthwest." Kristin Rehmann, a sophomore from Anchorage, Alaska, said she's had a positiveexperience, especially with the residence and admissions staff members. Both Rehmann and Wegeneragreed that although their entire support systems are out of Washington, the experience of going toWestern is well worth it. "Out-of-state students help to provide a diverse educational experience,"Copetas said. By Alisha Holdener The Western Front John Herd's no-show, a nearly biased reviewboard and an emotional response to negative campaigning procedures made for an excitingAssociated Students Board of Directors meeting Monday night. Herd, who is appealing the ban on hiscampaigning in the north end of campus, did not show up for the hearing. President Lauren Russellcommented that Herd has been informed of the meeting's importance and that they shouldcontinue without him. The board determined that only two of the seven board members were unbiased with regards to Herd's appeal. A subcommittee to hear the appeal was comprised of the uninvolvedmembers, Naomi Dillon, AS Secretary/Treasurer and Cameron Wong, VP for Student Life. Dillon saidshe wasn't sure what a vote for Herd's appeal would mean. "The elections are over. A new election isabout as likely as a clean one," Dillon said in a phone interview. If they vote against Herd, no furtheraction will be taken. "It's a moot point now because the elections are over," Liz Smith, VP for ExternalAffairs, said. "The system is such where everyone has the opportunity to bring up grievances. It's up tothe system to find validity and act upon them," said Jack Smith, Director of Viking Union and boardadvisor. The AS Review will print an apology for running names and photos in the wrong order. Futureissues involving AS elections will be under control of the election coordinator to avoid similar SeeMeeting, page 3 KIRO's Taylor visits sister mentor program By Erica Christensen The Western FrontJoyce Taylor, Western alumna and co-host of KIRO-TV's 7 Live, spoke to students from the campusSister to Sister mentor program Friday, sharing her stories and experiences as an A f r i c a n Am e r i c a n woman at Western and in the work force. Taylor, a broadcast comm u n i c a t i o nsmajor who graduated in 1984, said there were probably only 10 to 15 African Americans on campuswhen she was here. "There were so few students of color that I don't really view my experience as being different because of my color," Taylor said. "There weren't really enough students of color to be thatorganized and separate." Front/Aaron Dahl Joyce Taylor addresses the Sister to Sister program. Taylorsaid she was lucky her twin sister attended Western at the same time. She said she was pleased tosee so many faces of color, and the African-American women here are fortunate to have this kind ofsisterhood. Taylor said while she was here, broadcast communication professor Alden Smith was"almost like my dad away from home â€” a white man in the b r o a d c a s t department who probably had maybe three black students the whole time I was here." Smith said Taylor had a personalitythat bubbled. "She had a fine voice, enthusiasm and a wish to get involved," Smith said. Naomi Dillon, a senior journal-ism major, introduced Taylor.

No arrests were made. A 253-acre timber sale, about 35 miles east of Portland, has been the target of protests and lawsuits since 1987. Environmentalistsand American Indians say the area is an important cultural site. The forest service says it found nothingsignificant in the area. Young and Morgan Company is logging the area with helicopters. The harvest isexpected to take about two months. 13-year-old boy to be tried as an adult for Lynden murderBELLINGHAMâ€”A 13-year-old who told police he was trying to be a tough guy for his friends when heshot a 17-year-old could be tried as an adult for murder. The boy is accused of killing Denton Hendricksof Lynden in a gang-related dispute near Lynden City Park on March 6. The Whatcom CountyProsecutor's office says it wants to try the boy in adult court. He would be the youngest person in thecounty to face a murder charge. The night before Hendricks was slain, prosecutors say the 13-year-oldwas shooting at cars, pointing a rifle at other youths and threatening to kill anyone who told on him.Instead of three and a half years, the teenager could face 20 years in prison if convicted. NationalAverage gas price up 14 cents per gallon from last year LOS ANGELESâ€”Gas prices continue to soar,but the end may be near. Oil analyst Trilby Lundberg said gas prices jumped nearly five cents over thepast two weeks. The good news is gas prices may be leveling off after a wave of hikes caused by risingdemand and crude oil costs. Lundberg said in some midwestern cities, prices are unchanged or arealready falling. The average price of gas as of Friday, according to the Lundberg survey, is just over$1.36 a gallon. That compares to $1.39 on April 12, and is 14 cents higher than a year ago. California isthe state taking the worst hit. Self-serve gas prices increased in the Golden State by 18 cents per gallonover the past two weeks. Man who watched Jordan murdered may face death LUMBERTON,N.C.â€”The death penalty could still be in Larry Demery's future. He pleaded, guilty in the killing ofMichael Jordan's father, but Monday, a judge refused to strike capital punishment as a possiblesentence. Demery admitted he watched as James Jordan was shot to death on a North Carolinaroadside. He testified that his life-long friend Daniel Green pulled the trigger. That testimony helpedconvict Green, who was sentenced to life in prison. Demery's lawyers argue their client should not suffermore than Green. The judge says the state Supreme Court will have to decide that issue. 31 dead afterpassenger bus in Peru flies off cliff LIMA, PERUâ€”Thirty-one people are dead and 20 more are injuredafter a crowded passenger bus plunged off a cliff. The bus reportedly left the city Of Tacna, in southernPeru, Saturday afternoon. It was carrying merchants northeast toward the Andes mountains, and crashed about two hours later. The cause was not immediately apparent. Such crashes are common onPeru's winding mountain roads, and are usually blamed on negligent driving. Compiled from theAssociated Press by Front reporter Amy Scribner Taylor, from page 1 Meeting, from page 1 "I considerMs. Taylor a role model in a field where so few women of color, let alone people of color, are present,and she inspires me as well as others, I'm sure, to not just survive, but succeed," Dillon said.........: .After Taylor graduated from Western she moved to Spokane, where she was a weather forecaster anda news reporter. While she was there a television station in North Carolina called and offered her a jobanchoring the news and doing the weather. She packed her bags for the better-paying job and said itwas the best experience of her life. "[It] was the first time in my whole life I had a black doctor. I didn'tknow there were black lawyers and doctors and politicians ... I'd never seen that here." After two-and-a-half years she moved back to Seattle, where she worked at KING-TV for five years before moving to...KIRO, where she has been since 1993._ Taylor said she got into the television business because ofaffirmative action, but , it was used against her when people said the only reason she got in wasbecause of her color. "Affirmative action gets you in the door, but it doesn't keep you your job," Taylorsaid. Taylor has interviewed big names, including Newt Gingrich, Hilary Clinton, Christopher Darden,Vice President Al Gore and her favorite, Michael Jordan. problems. "The board recognized there was aproblem, but there was no material impact on the campaigns," Liz Smith said. Several grievanceswere dismissed on technicalities because the election code did not address specific issues. , "It's avery metamorphic document (the election code)," Smith said. "It's changing constantly, but if we didn't have one, elections would be chaotic." Unfortunately, mishaps in the election code are unforseeable."As things come up, the besf we can do is make changes for next year," Smith said. Prior to themeeting, Jennifer Boespflug, VP for Activities, made reference to crossing out Herd's face on the ASReview. She said, "I realized that was a pretty dumb thing to do, but it wasn't against election codes."Boespflug commented that it wasn't malicious and the Review was only up for two' hours. Emotionsroared at the end of the meeting when Dillon asked Boespflug if she had vandalized photos of Dillon. "Itwasn't something I planned on doing," Boespflug said. "I just had a lot of nervous energy." Dillon saidshe could have filed a grievance but until confirmed the allegations with Boespflug, the claims were onlyhearsay. "I would like a formal apology," Dillon said. â€¢r" Herrfequ^st was followed by anuncomfortable silence. "It was a stupid thing to do. I'm honestly sorry," Boespflug responded on .theverge of tears. Tensions rose as other "members claimed unprofessionalism of the entire electionprocess. "I feel like a volcano ready to blow," Jo Anderson, VP for Academics, said. "I don't think we'rereflecting what the board should reflect." "Instead of sitting here and bitching about it, we need, to fix it," Leslie Keller, VP for Internal Affairs, said assertively. Keller then hollered, "There are about 20 millionthings that are going to be changed next year if I have anything to say about it."

About 60 people came to the Viking Union Main Lounge on April23 to hear him list the grim statistics concerning the chemicals U.S. farmers use to kill insects,weeds, and crop-destroying fungi. "As a journalist I can't help but notice that there are gaps in thecoverage of 'environmental racism,'" said Britney Bartlett, a Western journalism student with aconcentration in environmental studies. Bartlett defines "environmental racism" as the exposure of ethnic minority communities to harmful pollutants. This exposure often goes unnoticed because, as agroup, their voices often remain unheard. According to "No Grapes," a video produced by the UnitedFarm Workers of America about the dangers of the heavy pesticides used on the grape fields ofCalifornia, 300 million pounds of pesticides are released from the air in that state every year. A third ofthese are known to cause cancer. Most of the pesticide residue clinging to the crops is oil-based,cannot be easily washed off and can easily be absorbed through the skin of the migrant farm workerswho tend the fields. It's no wonder that the rate of job-related illness among these workers is the highestin the state. One might assume that pesticide use is a problem limited to workers directly exposed tothem but, according to "No Grapes," everyone can be affected. When pesticides are sprayed from theair, only a small portion actually lands on the crops and may remain there in the oily residue. The restis carried off by the wind to contaminate neighboring communities and seep into underground watersupplies. According to research compiled by the Front/Jesse Hamilton Environmental Working Group, millions of children in the United States receive 35 percent of a lifetime's dose of carcinogens by theage of five. Martinez said such research supports the idea of the increasing rate of cancer amongAmericans as being directly related to the increase of pesticide use by our country's farmers. Prior toWorld War II, only one out of every 25 Americans was diagnosed with cancer. In the late 1940's, whenwidespread use of heavy pesticides became the norm, the cancer rate increased to one out everyeight. This rate increased again in the '80's to one out of every five. "Cancer is not normal, " said aninfuriated Martinez. "Why are we not up in arms about this?" When it comes to testing for safe chemical tolerance levels, he said, the government doesn't seem to make an effort to study the long-term effectsof chronic exposure (the continual exposure to a chemical over time or the exposure to many chemicalsduring a lifetime). "If you're diagnosed with cancer 10 years from now, you're on your own, saidMartinez about governmental apathy toward the millions of Americans chronically exposed topesticides. According to an August 1995 article in Ms. Magazine, evidence supports a link between theuse of some pesticides and non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, soft tissue sarcoma, and cancers ofthe brain, lung, breast, skin, stomach, and prostate. The risk of pesticide exposure is especiallydangerous for children and infants. Because they're smaller, they ingest more contaminants pound for pound than an adult and their underdeveloped detoxifying systems aren't strong enough to combatthem. Cancer isn't the only threat to them, however. Some pesticides contain neurotoxins that canpoison their underdeveloped brains and central nervous systems. "The levels of chemical toleranceare not based in science but in politics," said Martinez when he explained why the research data needed to cause widespread concern and to motivate the government in decreasing the levels of chemicaltolerance is often missing or unavailable. The United States is not only the biggest user of pesticides;it's also the biggest exporter. According to the Ms. Magazine article, the sales generated from exporting pesticides last year totaled 2.4 billion dollars-and a third of these had been banned or restricted tolimited use for surpassing even our lenient chemical tolerance levels. These illegal pesticides mayfind their way back to the United States, however.

EthnicStudent Center sponsors activities, including dance, luau By Erica Christensen The Western FrontTraditional dancing, a fashion show and a luau are just a few of the festivities Western's Asian PacificIslander Student Union and the Ethnic Student Center have planned for their May celebration ofN Asianand Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The event, titled Past, Present and Future Coming Full Circle, issponsored by the 12 clubs that make up APSU. All of the groups are very excited about sharing theircultures with the Bellingham and Western communities. The month kicks off with APSU's annual fashion show where they will model traditional as well as modern dress. Western's Hui O Hawaii club has beenbusy planning a luau and hula show, featuring the Seattle Hula Dance Troop. Shane Bunda, a juniorand recently elected Associated Students vice president of diversity, is a member of Western's Hui OHawaii club. He said the group has been working all quarter to put the event together. "I'm excited toshare some of my culture with my Bellingham peers," Bunda said. Fred Chung, a Westernsophomore, is a member of the Korean American Student Association. One event he has helpedorganize is Kid's Day. Chung said their goal is to teach the children of non-Korean families a little abouttheir culture through fables, Tae Kwon Do, folk and fan dancing and traditional cuisine. "Many of themdon't get exposed to it because of the people they live with," Chung said. Several of the members ofKASA are adopted and, in the past, club members have continued their relationships with local childrenlong after Kid's Day. API Month will also feature many guest lecturers, including Ronald Takaki, anauthor and a professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. In his book, "ADifferent Mirror: A History of Multicultural America," Takaki says that "by sometime in the 21st century,most Americans will trace their â€¢ descent to Africa, Asia, the Hispanic world, the Pacific Islands,Arabia â€” almost anywhere but white Europe."

"This ripple effect of the wings of one butterfly can change the tide in even the smallest ways," author Gloria Steinem said. People demanded support of affirmative action,immigrant worker rights, women's reproductive freedom, civil rights for people of color and support forlesbian/gay and bisexual rights. Front/Bobbie Egan Gina Cumbo makes a banner representing Westernstudents. "Call it bold political strategy; call it risky; but definitely call it historic," said Patricia Ireland,president of the National Organization for Women. "Participants are pioneers of political change, stakingout new horizons in this decade the same way the 4,000 people who first marched on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1977 and the 50,000 people who first rallied in support of abortion rights in1986." Speakers at the march included actor Danny Glover, Dolores Huerta of the United Farm Workers of America, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow Coalition. "This is one hell of a butterflygtoday," Steinem said. The story goes that when a butterfly moves its wings, the breeze that iscreated from that butterfly will change the tide of the ocean. Leaders of NOW, who organized themarch, estimate about 50,000 people the 1.7-mile march along the San Francisco Bay waterfront toCrissy Field. As is the case in crowd counts, discrepancies exist â€” the U.S. Park Police estimated13,000. Western's Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance and the Women's Center helped to sponsor 24 students to attend the march. â€ž For LGBA coordinator Juanita Juchau, being around thousands oflike-minded people gave hope for the future. "I have lots of personal issues that are anti-right," Juchausaid. "I'm gay. I'm a single mom. I'm on welfare. I have all these issues that are related specifically to the march, so to be around a lot of people who feel the same way I do felt good, especially when I amconstantly bombarded by the right. "The right is everywhere I go. There are all these people telling mewhat I am is wrong. To be around thousands of people who feel the same way I do was just soempowering, so perfect. To think there are all these people who think like me ... you just don't get thathere," she said. The event's key purpose, according to NOW officials, was to create momentum for thedefeat of anti-affirmative action initiatives headed for the November ballot. Similar ballot measures arecirculating in six states, with California paving the way by already eliminating programs that supportracial diversity and women in state education, employment and contracting. The actual phrase,"affirmative action," was first used in President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order, which requiresfederal contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and thatemployees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color or origin." Californiapolicy makers are pushing to put the California Civil Rights Initiative on the ballots for voter approval inNovember. The initiative states that "the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferentialtreatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in theoperation of public employment, public education or contracting. Doug Honig, Public Education Directorfor the American Civil Liberties Union, said Washington has no current initiatives to end affirmativeaction. "Political activists may pick this up if it passes in California, but currently there is no threat toour state," Honig said. Opponents of the CCRI charge that the initiative would apply even in cases where applicants are equally qualified and there has been ongoing discrimination against women or people ofcolor. Clause C, could allow for discrimination in employment, admittance, contracting, wages andpromotion for any reason, depending on the interpretation of "reasonably necessary." "For the first timein this country, an extremist, ultra-right wing has taken control of one of the two major centrist political parties," Steinem said. "The entire country is focused on California ... because you will determine the fate of affirmative action for this whole country by your vote."

The Hensons, who are lesbians, took the same last name."(Camp Sister Spirit) serves as a crossroads, a nexus where people can go when they're wishing toleave something behind," said Tara Herivel, of the Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance, and co-organizerof the trip. Camp Sister Spirit, founded by the Hensons, lies in the small .southern Mississippi town ofOvett. The Hensons' mission is to bring feminist education and women's culture to the South and tohelp their neighbors and women seek shelter from violence. Coordinators for the delegation, RobinSponseller of the Legal Information Center and Herivel met the Hensons last April when the Hensonsspoke of their lives and terrors at Western's Take Back the Night. The Hensons invited Western studentsto visit the camp during spring break. "I'll never forget (the Hensons') speech. They were the mosthonest, loving women I had ever heard," Herivel said. Despite their endless efforts to help theircommunity, the Hensons have been terrorized since the camp opened its doors three years ago. Thegrassroots camp has been the target of homophobic hatred led by the religious right and Mississippi forFamily Values. Photo courtesy of Robin Sponseller Camp Sister Spirit delegates are: Brenda Henson,Wanda Henson; back row (left to right) Mara Eaton, front row (left to right) Ruth Robin Sponseller, TaraHerivel, Holbrook, Pam Spangler, Marci Aimee Wiseman, Jane Hinton, - Larsson and Michelle Morrissey. The violence against the Hensons has ranged from a dog shot and slung over their mailbox to bombthreats. On Valentine's Day, someone rolled an unidentified car into a ditch outside the camp and setthe car on fire. Although the crime was obviously directed toward the camp, local authorities draggedtheir feet when it came to protecting the camp. "What the (delegation) is doing is coming fromaround the country to protect these women and let the townies know that they are being monitored,"Herivel said. "These assholes know exactly how far to go with intimidation and how far they can go withthe police." Herivel said the reason CSS has survived and the Hensons are alive is the way they havenetworked. Networking began on a small scale between community members and allies, and has nowgrown across the country. Over 2,000 volunteers have visited the camp and helped rebuild the former120- acre pig farm into a safe haven for women. Herivel said the lessons learned at CSS are powerful and teach women crafts and handiwork that break the stereotype of "man's work." "On the third day I waswondering what type of feminist education I was receiving. All I was doing was building a workshop ...then it hit me and I realized I was actually building a workshop," Herivel said. "I came away with a newsense of philosophy. We didn't have a lot to work with, but what we had was enough. It is the strengthand will that is within us that are the real tools," said delegate Ruth Holbrook, a Western alumna. ForSponseller, the lone male delegate, the camp was the first time he had questioned male stereotypes."I prayed we would pick another man. It was the first time in a long time I was very aware of mymaleness. It forced me to redefine my gender role. Seeing how efficient the women were was a newthing for me. These women were doing all of it," Sponseller said. Although the Hensons have defeatedthe ongoing efforts of opponents to shut down the camp, their victory hasn't been without a long battleâ€” a battle that has left the non-profit camp in dire financial need. "What the Hensons need is money;money, money, money," Herivel said. "The project didn't end when we got back; it's just the first step towhat we plan to do for them." The delegation is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers to help raise fundsfor the Hensons. Donations can be made through the Legal Information Center. "If these women werestraight, they'd get awards for what they're doing. But because they're lesbians they don't," Herivel said. Y6AH, PIGHT! Announcing the ATT Ultimate ROAD TRIP" Sweepstakes.

But they want to do more than enforce laws, they are trying to build bridges betweenofficers and students in a less intimidating way. "Anyone with a gun could be intimidating," said JenniferGregor, university police dispatcher. A uniformed leader at the head and green jackets at the other end of the table resemble a television cop series. The atmosphere changes slightly as the meeting for the newshift ends. Laughter echoes through the once quiet room as the green coats huddle around a fellowofficer impersonating Van Damme. "I'm the ringmaster," Sergeant John Browne said with a serious face,leaving a unperceptive newcomer off-guard. As a Western graduate, Browne explains that the laid-back atmosphere students in the office have is why he enjoys his job of 24 years. "Students using thisopportunity as a stepping stone makes me feel like a part of the education - system," Browne said. Anight of educating begins for Officer John Kildall during his 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. shift with Gregor's voice onthe radio. "Fire alarm in the Viking Addition!" Gregor yells. With a quick response to his radio and pressof the gas pedal, the sounds of ringing soon thunder over his vehicle. Kildall walks through the buildingwith a fellow officer in search of a flame and finds, unsurprisingly, a false alarm. With the excitement ofpolice enforcement comes grave moments.

Thisenvironment is not just academic, but also gives second chances to correct bad habits that may lead tosevere punishments in later years, Kildall said. "Law enforcement is more than just traffic control,"Kildall said. He also sees it as a chance to help students on to the right path of life with humor andseriousness at the same time. Requiring a little more than a quick look for a potential flame, the next call taken by Kildall needed the attention of a written report. Kildall enters the men's bathroom of the fifthfloor, where a novice vandal left a number of where to have a "good time." "It must be a freshman justlearning the ropes," Kildall said.

"We're like the referee game field of life ... studej not a personal thing,"By Allison Gregg The Western Front You are in a rush. Without even thinking about it, you leave yourpurse or wallet sitting out or tucked in your locker. But you don't give it a second thought â€” you willbe right back. When you do return, it is gone. It vanished. You pause and think, "Did I really bring it inand leave it there?" Things are thrown around in an effort to find it. Maybe it fell or slipped betweensomething. It is nowhere in sight. It suddenly hits you, "I've been robbed." As violating and disturbing asit is, the facts are simple: someone took your possessions and now you, the victim, have to spend yourtime canceling credit cards, closing bank accounts and getting new identification. Two weeks ago, mypurse was stolen from World Gym and Fitness Center in Bellingham. I have had to do something about iteveryday since then. Bellingham Police Lt. Rick Sucee said that most purses stolen are theresponsibility of the owner. "They get stolen when they are left unattended," Sucee said. Leaving a purse in a shopping cart or on a table in a resturaunt are perfect examples of how items get stolen. The firstthing to do if a cash card, checks or withdrawal slips are stolen is to call the bank. A stop payment isplaced on the stolen checks. It makes those checks impossible to clear your account, if the thievesattempt to use them. Chris Edwards, a personal banker at Seafirst Bank, recommends closing theaccount and opening a new one. If the account is not closed right away, but a stop-payment is placedon the checks, a business might accept the check. You will be notified that the checks will not clearyour account. Once the stop payment is placed on the checks, you are no longer held liable forpurchases made by the stolen checks. The people who stole my purse have written where to call toreport a stolen or lost credit card on the back of the monthly statement. New credit cards are usuallymailed within two weeks. Next, you need to get a new driver's license, which is not easy to do. A formof picture identification is needed. An expired driver's license is the best form of identification. When you bring in a student I.D. card, or another form of picture I.D., you need your social security card, birth certificate or high school yearbook. While there, getting an identification card is recommended. Keepone at home and another in a new purse or wallet, which will never be left again. Here are a few othertips I have learned from this experience: Front/Sarah Spiegelberg Â£)0 n o t j uncjer any circumstances,keep your Purses and wallets are primary targets for thieves, social security card or number in your purse or wallet.

By Jerry Weatherhogg The Western Front After a long, industriousevening spent studying at Wilson Library, its time to go home and crash. The car has been parked allday in some far-off commuter parking lot. It's late. It's dark. The cold Bellingham wind whispers thoughts of discomfort into the ear. It's not the best night to be walking alone. What to do? Call the UniversityPolice. They offer Personal Safety Escorts to anyone from anywhere on campus. These escorts willwalk or provide transportation to any place on campus at no cost. The service is very simple touse, University Police Lt. Dave D o u g h t y said.

"Try ut it, or glue it or lt;m Front/Kelly Jackson! and asks for aPersonal Safety Escort," he said. "Anybody on campus (can use the service)," Doughty said. "You don't have to be a student. Visitors, staff and faculty can also use the escorts. Our concern is personalsafety." Security officer Gray Proctor said it's very easy to get ahold of an escort. "Call the UniversityPolice at 650- 3555 and say, 'this is where I am, I would like an escort,'" Proctor said. "They'll ask youfor your vital statistics for legal reasons, and within a couple minutes the rover or an officer will bethere. You can also designate a certain time (for an escort) by calling in advance." SophomoreNathalie Oravetz does exactly that when she uses the service. "I usually just plan ahead," Oravetzsaid. "I'll call from a friend's house and say that I'll be at (commuter lot) 16CR in 10 minutes. One time, I called from Haggen's." "Call boxes are found in most of the main parking lots," security officer Jamie Ivanich said. "People can also use car phones and dorm boxes." No reason is required for using anescort, and security won't ask any questions. "We certainly don't refuse too many people because we'dmuch rather err on the obsessive side than say no to someone who actually needs an escort," Proctorsaid. "So we don't usually ask questions." Oravetz used the escort because she finds the parkingterrible on campus. She felt especially uncomfortable walking around the track and the aerobics shack,where it does not feel safe, she said. Freshman Tonni Blaisdell offered a straightforward reason why she called for an escort. "I was scared because it was nighttime and I'm a girl and I didn't want to beattacked," Blaisdell said. After receiving an escort request, University Police will either dispatch therover who drives a Ford Ranger truck, or send an officer by foot to the person. It usually takes less than10 minutes for the security officer to arrive. However, in some instances, the wait is longer. "Ifsomeone calls for an escort and security officers are not readily available, the person might have towait," Doughty said. "We will direct people into someplace safe like the Viking Commons or WilsonLibrary, but it's not too often that people have to wait," he said. Blaisdell said it took about five to 10minutes for her escort to arrive the three times she's used the service. "The service area is traditionally all of campus and includes Birnam Wood," Proctor said. "But being the nice guys we are, we'll takepeople a little ways off campus. It's usually the driver's discretion," he said. "But we certainly won'ttake people across town," Proctor added. "We try not to let people use it as a taxi service," securityofficer and rover Collin Rutherford added. The service began in the middle of the 1970s, and hasincreased since. In 1995, security gave 928 escorts, and through the end of February of this year, 261escorts have been given. Front/Chris Butterfield Security officer Nicole Spears escorts a Westernstudent from campus Monday. The weather usually influences the demand for escorts. During poorweather, the demand doubles. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all yearround. However, most escorts are given at night, and after 4 p.m., the rover is available. After a long night of writing, I decided to give the escort service a try. The University Police receptionist was very nice asshe asked me for my name, student number, where I was and where I was going. I think she wasoblivious to the fact that my destination, Kappa, was less than a stone's throw away from College Hall. I wasn't waiting longer than two minutes before I saw headlights coming toward me from Bond Hall. The"University Police" decal in the window let me know that my escort had arrived. It was a relief steppinginside. The truck was much warmer than the cold night. And Rutherford was just as pleasant. "You'remy first action all day," he said as he drove up the street. Since the trip to the Ridge took only a fewseconds, he parked the truck as he told me about his job. Weekends are the most popular nights forescorts, Rutherford said. Thursday nights are especially big, because all the business majors getloaded, he said. The College of Business and Economics doesn't have Friday classes. Most securityofficers are genuinely nice people. Many are appreciative of the company. Rutherford enjoys beingan escort because he sees a variety of campus life and meets many interesting people, businessmajors included. "I enjoy meeting people, so it's nice to get a break," Proctor said. "It's nice to get achance to talk to people. There's a certain amount of satisfaction that comes with doing a public service, even if it is something as minor as walking someone home." "I like to see people at one o' clock inthe morning," Ivanich said. "It's the loneliest shift," she said of her 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. schedule. Users ofthe service are just as appreciative as they are satisfied. Oravetz said that she has been treated verywell by security escorts. "They're totally understanding to the fact that I have a shitty parking spot and Idon't want to walk at night," Oravetz said. "All of them (the escorts) have been really friendly." Theservice is quite popular, but isn't as effective as it could be. Rutherford and Proctor agree that the biggest problem facing the escort system is lack of use. "It's probably not as popular as it should be," Proctoradded. "I don't think nearly enough people use the escort system and not enough people know about itfor it to work as efficiently as it should." "Most people are intimidated by calling University Police,which they shouldn't be because that's what we're here for," Proctor said.

The race will kick off a three-race series that the National Off-Road Bicycle Association has sanctioned as the state championship. In addition to Sunday's race,there will be races on May 19 and June 9, with the overall points winner from all three races being named the state champion. Bikers will hurtle through the same tight trails that have brought more than 500racers and 2,000 spectators to the race each year it's been run. "It's brutal," said race co-founderMark Peterson of the race course. "Actually it's a good, fun course. We'll see that the caliber of racerwill be as good as it ever was." Pro/expert and sport-class racers will race multiple laps around a 3.4 mile loop, while beginner-class racers will race around a shorter and flatter 2.9 mile loop. Each coursefeatures agonizing climbs, fast drop-offs and stomach-churning switchbacks. "It's really a verydeceiving course," Kulshan Cycle's John Roy said. "The locals who have ridden it will think 'gosh, that'snot a very hard course.' But when you have to do it four, five or six times, and the most grueling obstacles that the course features. Although this section, which ranges from 50 to 200 yards long dependingupon the annual rainfall, is not to the waist-high and 250-yards-long extreme that it was in 1993,spectators will still get the opportunity to see many racers dismount and slog their way throughthe mud. "It's a very challenging course overall," said Rich Archberger, president of Western'sTreadhead mountain bike club. "The key to the race is to be able to climb." The course is not onlyexciting for racers, but it is one of the best in the Northwest for spectators to see just what it is thatmountain bikers do in the woods, Peterson said. Although the" course is tight, spectators can easilywalk it backward to see every jump, crash and grimace the riders make. Spectators can also browsethrough the bike expo or watch bikers try to ride over logs and stumps in the trials course.

Assistant men'scoach Andrew Stephens said the novice men showed their depth when they won the varsity-eight race,beating the second-place University of Puget Sound varsity boat by 9.77 seconds and three-and-a-halfboat lengths. Stephens said the novice-eight boat bearing varsity boats "has to be the highlight of theyear so far." "To be a novice team and to win a varsity race shows a lot about our coach," said JasonMoorehead, who sat in the seventh seat for the winning boat. "All week long he said he wanted us to win. Both the boats dedicated the races to him." The biggest challenge for both the women's and men'steams will be at next week's Opening Day Regatta at the Montlake Cut in Seattle. The regatta is themost attended race in the world, with a crowd of around 100,000 people. The University of Washingtoninvited the men to the race after their showings in races in San Diego and Spokane. Stephens called the university and asked if his team could compete, and a week later they were invited. The race will betheir biggest one since San Diego. Last Saturday's race was their best race of the season to this point."It was very encouraging to see that and fun to see the team respond to that," Stephens said. "I thinkthey showed confidence, but they weren't cocky." The women also showed their ability and confidence by winning the most races of the nine schools that competed on Saturday. Their biggest victory was the 2,000-meter varsity-eight race which they completed in 7:08.00, beating Pacific Lutheran University by16.7 seconds. A combination of the return of the team's regular stroke for the boat, Emily Bauer, andthe team's new boats attributed to the varsity win. "Having Emily Bauer back at stroke helped ourrhythm a lot, and we cruised to a pretty easy victory," women's coach Ron Goodman said in a pressrelease. "We'll probably be 10 to 15 seconds faster next week just from what we learned about therigging on our new boats." Assistant women's coach Annette Collins said hard work was another keyfactor in the women's dominance at Saturday's regatta. "They've been working hard, and their effortspaid off for them. They were confident going into it and sure about themselves." The women also tookfirst in the novice eight, lightweight eight and the novice four. They placed second in the junior varsity four and lightweight novice eight. Stephens said the race in Seattle will be a test of how much the novicemen's team has improved and he expects to at least take second when up against competitors suchas the University of Washington and Washington State University's freshmen novice boats. "We had astrong race at American Lake, but we have a lot of work to do to beat UW," Moorehead said. "I thinkwe'll gain recognition for Western as a strong team and I think we'll surprise some people down there."The women's team is "hoping to break (its) curse and do better," Collins said of this Saturday's race. She expects the women to do well against some good competition, including UW and Yale for the varsityteams and UW and Washington State University for the novice. New equipment will be a factor in doingwell because more power can be applied to the water, making the boat move faster. "Opening Day hasalways been a hard race for us," Bauer said. "We're looking to get WSU and UW. We have thecapabilities of winning the race. We just have to get out and do it."

The Vikings captured the inaugural women's crown handily, with four players breaking 100 at the Fircrest Golf Course. The men, the defending league champions, finished second, seven strokes behind SimonFraser University. Junior Sherri Lockner earned women's medalist honors with a completed only 18holes. Fastpitch in first-place tie round of 91. Junior Deena Worden, sophomore Leslie Keller andfreshman Anna Hiffman finished second, third and fourth behind Lockner. All four earned all-conference honors. "It was miserable playing out there," Lockner said. "It was a shame that we didn't play tworounds." She felt that a full tournament would have provided a more worthy champion and a better gaugeof the field. The tournament was shortened from 54 to 36 holes for the men because Thursday's actionwas canceled due to rain. The men had to play two 18-hole rounds on Friday, and the women Westernjunior Kevin Cannon and junior Ryan Yurina earned all-conference honors, finishing second and third,respectively. Cannon shot a 9- over-par 151, and Yurina followed one stroke behind. Yurina finished theseason as the team's stroke average leader at 77.5 per round. He is representing Western at the NAIAPacific Northwest/Far West Regional tournament in San Diego Monday and Tuesday. SFU's TrevorGoetz took first-place medalist honors with a six-over-par 148. He made several clutch shots during hisround, chipping the ball in twice and nailing some long putts. Fastpitch April 30, 2 p.m. vs. University ofPuget Sound at Frank Geri Field (regular season finale) By D. Eric Jones The Western Front Westernwomen's fastpitch ripped through the south Puget Sound Saturday and Sunday and came home with afive-game winning streak. After sweeping twinbills at both St. Martin's College and University of PugetSound over the weekend, the Vikings skyrocketed into first place in the Pacific Northwest AthleticConference alongside Simon Fraser University. Western (19- 19) improved to 9-5 in the PNWAC. TheVikings clobbered SMC 5-0 and 6- 1 on Saturday. The momentum carried them into Sunday's big wins.Western outlasted UPS for a 6-5 victory in the opener. Diana Joy blanked the powerful Loggers in thenightcap en route to a 5-0 shutout. Freshman Alison Haukaas and Joy worked perfectly on the mound as both women picked up two wins last weekend. Haukaas nabbed her ninth victory of the season, goingthe distance for the 18th time in 19 starts. "We really kept the intensity up," Haukaas said. "We startedfollowing through with two outs to keep the scoring going." Western displayed its mental toughness,rallying for four runs in the fifth inning against UPS after trailing 3-2. "We always stayed in it. We battledthrough because we knew we wanted to win," Haukaas said. It was Brenda Blancas' two-run double inthe fifth that stopped the Loggers in their tracks. "We really started hitting together as a team. We gotmore consecutive hits and we're not stranding runners as much any more," Blancas said. The Vikingsclash with UPS again at 2 p.m today at Frank Geri Field. The PNWAC playoffs will be hosted by theleague champion Friday and Saturday. Western can clinch sole possession of first place with one moreleague victory than SFU in this final week. The Clan would lock up first place if its league record tiesWestern. SFU won the season series with Western 3-1. "We're really getting excited." Blancas said."We definitely have good attitudes and we know we've got potential." Kelley, Stevenson qualify By ChrisButterfield The Western Front Sophomore Karla Kelley qualified for nationals, and senior Jen Campbelland sophomore Kathy Law improved their qualifying times last Saturday in Abbotsford, B.C. at theSimon Fraser Invitational. Kelley qualified by placing sixth (4:42.0) in the women's 1,500 meters.Campbell finished fourth in the 3,000 (10:11.72) and Law finished fourth in the 3,000 racewalk(15:17.16). "I was amazed (about qualifying)" Kelley said. "Actually, the race that I ran in, the womanthat I ran against had a 4:19, and everybody was way put in front of me. I didn't realize I was going asfast as I was." Posting regional qualifying times were sophomore Erik Meyer in the men's 5,000(15:17.19) and freshman Sarah Tenace in the women's 800 (2:19.67). Also qualifying for regionals wassophomore Jeff Yoder in the men's 10,000 (33:23.66) at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational on Saturday. Inaddition to the Simon Fraser and PLU invitationals, four Western athletes, junior Kurt Grichel, sophomore Lewis McCulloch, junior Oscar Myre IV and junior Mike Ogliore competed at the Penn Relays. TheVikings have already qualified more people (nine) for nationals than last year. They advance to thePNWAC Championships Saturday in Ellensburg on a roll. "We have a really good team this year,"Campbell said. "It's a lot better than last year." "I think we're going to do well because we have a lot ofdepth and a lot of really talented athletes," senior Brandi Stevenson said. Stevenson qualified fornationals in the April 21-22 PNWAC Multi-Events Championships by breaking Western's 13- year-oldheptathlon mark (4,557 points) set in 1983 by Jennifer Schwartz. She took six of seven events over thetwo-day championship and compiled a point total of 4,641. "I think toward the end of the season ourteam's starting to come together," Stevenson added. "I hope to place first or second in every one of (theevents)," said Stevenson, who will be competing in five events during the conference championships. The regional championships are May 10- 11 in Monmouth, Ore., and the NAIA National Champioships will be May 23-25 in Marietta, Ga. MAY1 Legal Info.

I used to believe those stupid myths like, "You can't get pregnant your first time/'and "You won't get pregnant if you do it standing up, or in a hot tub". Yeah, right. Look, too many of usdon't have a clue when it comes to birth control. That's why there's Planned Parenthood. The people at Planned Parenthood know it's tough for teens to get the facts about birth control, safer sex, andsexually transmitted infections. They really listened to me, and helped me choose a birth control methodthat works for me. Everything is completely confidential. And the fees are low, so I can afford it. So go to Planned Parenthood.

Yes, our beloved mass transit system has some negativequalities, but this is usually the case with most government operations. But, before you startcondemning the driving abilities and timekeeping skills of WTA bus drivers, keep this is mind. Incomparison to other bus systems in this state (i.e. Seattle's Metro), WTA is in a class of its own. The number one reason why WTA rocks is value. Thirty-five cents is not too much to pay to get acrosstown. Metro, in contrast, charges $1.10. WTA also provides some of the cleanest vehicles on the road.The lack of grime makes the buses' ultra-cool color scheme sparkle. It is especially groovy at night when the buses are aglow in blue light.v Metro buses, more often than not, are covered with a layer of dirt.This cannot be blamed on poor bus maintenance, but on the fact that downtown Seattle isn't thecleanest place on Earth. No amount of dirt, however, can hide the ugly brown and yellow paint job ofthe Metro buses. Friendliness also ranks high on the list. Most WTA drivers are simply nice people.Nowhere else but Bellingham do drivers announce that the bus is passing 31 Flavors. Also, inBellingham, it is safe to ride the bus late at night. In Seattle, riding the bus past 11 p.m. isuncomfortable, to say the. least. Finally, WTA bus routes are simple and easy-to-use. The colorfulmaps and schedules make getting from point A to point B easy. The opposite is true of Metro. Trying to decipher Metro schedules is an exercise in frustration. It takes a degree in geography to figure outwhere the bus is going and another degree in mathematics to calculate when it's going to get there.Granted, WTA is not perfect. A major inconvenience is not having Sunday service. I once spent half an hour in the cold Bellingham wind waiting for a bus that never came. Night service is also deficient. TheNightline was an essential addition but, since most WTA routes close around 7 p.m., the Nightline is our only option. Lateness is another complaint reflected by many in the community. Reasons of price,cleanliness, charm, fashion and simplicity make WTA the best transit value in the Northwest. It's notperfect, but it does its job in getting the masses around comfortably. If you ever find yourself squeezedinto a bus packed like a can of sardines or running just a little late, remember, compared to thealternatives, our bus system kicks transit ass. ttere's fast-acting relief from, the pressure of school!graduating seniors, c\\A,d qmd students can get ^oboc cash bacte* O\A, the purchase or lease of aiA,ijtool new Ford or Mercw.ru).

First off, Accent Editor Grant Clark is pissed because he wasn'tmentioned. "I glorify violence â€” what about me?" he whined. "More death and destruction are dealt outin one Godzilla flick than in all the Sonny Chiba movies combined. And, hell, it was my 'Streetfighter'video that he watched to write the article." Imagine, if you will, a world devoid of televised violence. BobSaget would host 14 shows, pay channel options would include "24 Hours of 'Blossom,'" and "The SavedBy The Bell Channel" (minus, of course, "The College Years," since Screech got the occasional hazing,which would be considered gratuitous, and the mere sight of "Showgirls" star Jesse Spano is arousingenough to promote impure thoughts and "self-induced" blindness). I must, however begrudgingly, admitthe influential power of television. Because of "Miami Vice," Grant didn't wear socks for two years. Yet,never once did he.get in a fiery speedboat chase, join a drug cartel in Colombia or put out a violently lamealbum (remember "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson? Try playing that song in the UpUp on a non-business-major night without getting your ass kicked). Television can also incite some destructive activities. Afterhe pay-per-viewed "Wrestlemania IIXVIIMCM," Grant put a sleep-er- hold/suplex combination on his catthat brought the ire of animal rights activist Ricki Lake within minutes.' Ricki, who, by the way, looksgreat in neon tights, a cape and a red, white and blue leather hood, piped down after a forearm shiver and the dreaded figure-four leglock. "If she's gonna talk the talk, she'd better walk the.walk," Grant screamed at the camera, index finger shaking. - i Now then, back to the brow-beaten Collin Coyne. TV violence:fine. ... TV buddy-cop shows and bogus talk-shows: bad. Writing about Sonny Chiba (who, by the way,taps a keg of whoop-ass on anyone who thinks otherwise or puts up signs about Collin): Good. Now, ifyou want to wax intellectual about the subject at hand (TV violence, not Jesse Spano), consider theresults of watering down entertainment media so as not to offend the squeamish or influence the lessmature. Reduction of available information to the level of the lowest common intellectual denominatoramounts to a brand of censorship. Collin may glorify violence, but he doesn't promote vandalism (ortooth decay)! â€”Jason Hickman, Copy editor â€”Grant Clark, Accent editor The Western Front Editor,Jeremy Stiles; Managing editor, Jesse Hamilton; News editors, Mike Brennand and Nina Boswell;Features editors, Rachel Morrow and Lisa Diaz; Accent editors, Eric Francis and Grant Clark; Sportseditor, Darrin Wellentin; Opinions editor, Christopher Ames; Copy editor, Jason Hickman; Photo editors,Aaron Dahl and Tom Degan; Political Cartoonist, Jason Kelly; Illustrator, Kelly Jackson; Adviser, PeteSteffens; Business Manager, Teari Brown; Custodian, Roger Sprague; Custodian emeritus, ConradSchuyler.

P^H0MS: TAKE: Z PIUS w *^NÂ§T^Â°iT^Â»^H f Utf OFF fiQpSSS** NOT CH**,2J One student's border trouble: northern exposureno good I am 20 years old, and I have lived my whole life in a place where I didn't have to deal withdiscrimination because of my ethnicity, values or the color of my skin. However, I recently saw thehard, cold face of racism and, learned that discrimination doesn't just happen to African- Americans.Discrimination can happen to everyone, but especially minorities. After finals week, I was finishedwith all my classes, so my friends and I decided to go dancing in Canada. We thought we would havea good time. We stopped at the duty free store before passing through the United States-Canadianborder in Blaine. The Canadian Customs officer began asking us questions. "Have you ever been toCanada before?" the officer asked. "Yes, we have," we replied. "How long are you going to be here?"she asked. . "Three to four hours," we said. "Did you go into the duty free?" she asked. "Yes, toexchange money," the driver of the car, Robert Mattin, said. I waÂ§ beginning to become suspiciousof the persistent questioning. All we wanted to do was to go dancing. Following the last question, theofficer directed us to the Customs and Immigration Building. My friends and I entered the building andwere told to see the immigration officer. As we walked through the door, the officers assumed we wouldcreate a disturbance or commit some kind of criminal act, and wouldn't allow my boyfriend to use therestroorn, refusing to explain why. "I felt racially discriminated against and stereotyped as carryingillegal contraband," Mattin said. We stood in line for 30 minutes just to find a reason why we were sentthere. The Canadian supervisor took our driver's licenses and student identification cards while askingunimportant questions: Are you sure you were born in the United States? Do you go to school andwhere? What are you majoring in? How much money are you all carrying? We responded with variousamounts of money, but it wasn't enough to get us past the supervisor. "Hey, how come we're here?"student Andy Waterman asked. "How come you get to ask my friends questions and not me, and howcome we have to have $40 each?" Waterman asked too many questions of the officer, who became soupset with the remarks that he put Waterman into an isolated containment cell. He wasn't let out untilwe left. "Sit down!" the officer shouted. "Now if you don't shut up, you're gonna see parts of Canada that you've never seen before." Waterman said nothing to the officer, but when he asked for the officer'sname he didn't give it to him. He also asked for a comment card, but received a piece of paper. Despite our cooperation, customs denied us entrance into Canada. They justified their action by citing aCanadian immigration law. They said the law requires each person to carry $40. to enter Canada,although they showed no verification of the law. Still disturbed by the incident, I called the nearestCanadian customs building, and asked if any law existed requiring each person to bring $40 to crossthe border. The officer told me there are seven superintendents, and they have the discretion to turnanyone away if they don't have "sufficient funds" to enter Canada. The Canadian official said theyexpect visitors to have a "certain amount of money to pass the border." Despite the fact we may ormay not have had enough money, it was none of their business and, their aggressive manner appalledme. I didn't know what they wanted from us and I was deeply upset. These remarks made me feel asthough I were an illegal immigrant, even though I was born in the United States. I felt this was a form of discrimination, because three or four Canadian agents circled around us like hawks as if we weremeat to dine on. I sometimes think about what would happen if I had just gone back and showed themmy $40. I wondered if they still would have let me and my friends cross the border. What if I was with abunch of friends who weren't minorities? The outcome probably would have been different. Maybe Ishould go back to the border and find out. ---------- Western Front - 1996 April 30 - Page 15 ---------- April 30, 1996 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 Americana must reject, 'flush' conservative'bilge' Dear Editor, It's time we stood up and flush , all the conservative bilge down the toilet before itsinks our ship.

Present: chairman Edens, Mr. Donovan, Principal Mathes, and the clerk. Dr. Mathes gave a detailed report of his trip east in search of teachers to fill vacancies on the faculty. On recommendation of the principal, followed by motion from Mr. Donovan, Herbert (?) of Michigan was elected supervisor of the training school at a salary of $2,000 per year; Miss Nellie A. Gray, critic teacher of the training school at a salary of $1,000 per year. The elections were made unanimous. After recommendation by Dr. Mathes, Mr. Donovan moved that Miss Elnora Belle Miller of Michigan be elected assistant instructor in English at a salary of $900 per year. Carried unanimously. On request by the principal, the position of fourth critic teacher was created at a salary of $900 per year, and Dr. Mathes was authorized to recommend some one for the place. On recommendation from the faculty, the trustees voted that a diploma be granted to Miss Louise Hannibal, who had completed the required course of study by working at the summer school. It was ordered that in the dormitory, the wash room be equipped with two sets of tubs, a door cut through into the attic, lattice be placed on the porch, and other necessary work completed. Mr. Donovan moved that (?) be sent the city council of the readiness of the Normal to pay 10 cents per yeard for waste material from the proposed improvement of High street, up to an amount of 3,000 yards, delivered to the front and side of the Normal dormitory, under directions of the Trustees. Motion carried. The principal was instructed to order contractor Lind to fill in the north side of the dormitory with dirt, at a cost of from $75 to $100. Mr. Donovan moved that a fence eight feet high, be authorized to serve as a screen between the Normal building and the boarding house. Matter of conducting the Dining Hall was discussed Dr. Mathes favored Mrs. Blanchard, to take charge of the place on a club basis, receiving a percentage of the income. It was decided that $10 per month rental would be a proper charge to make from the club for the use of the general rooms on the main floor. The details were left to- WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1905 Volume 02 - Page 022 1905-08-12 be worked out by Dr. Mathes and Mrs. Blanchard. Dr. Mathes was authorized to hire two or three students for assistants in sweeping and janitor work. Mr. Dewis appeared before the board, urging the importance of covering the exposed portions of the water pipe in the dormitory. He made an estimate of $97 as the cost for that underneath the building, and finally agreed to cover all the piping for 100. An order was given him to do the work, which amounts to about 500 feet. On motion of Mr. Donovan, the principal was authorized to spend $200 in the main building for carpenter work and calomining as he found required. He was also authorized to secure rugs at from $50 to $60 for the four rooms of the critic teachers. Authority was given him to employ an expert for a month or six weeks to classify collections in the museum. It was voted to allow Professors Eply and Romine each $500 to expend for apparatus which they might require. Bills were ordered allowed as follows: to be forwarded to the auditor August 15: Maintenance: 53 E.R. Croft $18.60; 54 B.B. I. Co. $1.20; 55 A.C.

WWU Board of Trustees meeting minutes for August 1905 Volume 02 - Page 023 1905-08-24 A called meeting of the Normal Trustees was held at the residence of Mr. Donovan at 8PM. Present: Chairman Edens, Mr. Donovan, Dr. Mathes, and the clerk. It was decided that the emergency justified ordering the schedule of studies printed here, to be paid for from the incidental fund. Mr. Donovan moved that Dr. Mathes be authorized to secure the construction of a board walk from the front of the dormitory to the feet of the terrace at a cost of net to exceed $100. The principal was authorized to draw up a contract, covering the necessary points, to be signed by the members of the faculty for the coming year. He was also authorized to employ a young man to help Miss Wilson in the library, by stacking books and doing the heavy lifting required in that work. Mrs. Ada Smith of Los Angeles schools, a graduate of the Colorado State Normal, was elected to the new critic position or third and fourth grades in the training school. After a discussion of various matters concerning the institution, during which Dr. Mathes was instructed to prepare recommendations to fill any faculty vacancies that might occur before the opening of the fall term, the meeting adjourned. Minutes approved. Roy O. Hadley, clerk. John J. Edens. ##

Some of these ideas Dr. Haggardexpressed earlier to the Collegian this week. "The first thought I have is that I wish to extend bestwishes to my successor in the solution of the problems incident to growth during the years ahead."Then would come the ideas and ideals based upon twenty years of administration in the College's toppost . . . and based upon an entire career in education. He would be concerned with the responsibility oftraining teachers. "This College is preparing," One never ceases to learn and thus his education willcontinue throughout his life. It is truly the commencement for the sincere, capable person. This is adifferent person from he who is going to college just to get through." "The prospective teacher who is atWestern," explains the President "should be here because of the quality of our teacher educationprogram. For others it would be for the Arts and Sciences courses, the two years of junior college, andthe extensiveness of our programâ€” which also allows one year of graduate work." Explaining hisown satisfactions during his administration, Dr. Haggard states that the growth of the College is thegreatest. He means the expansion of the College program, the physical improvements to the campus,and the increased student enrollment. He is especially pleased with the number of students whohave graduated with teaching degrees from 1949 to 1958. They stand this way: Western 2852 U. of W.2847 Next highest: some 300 lower.

With these words to her 15- membercommittee of the whole, chairman Pat Xelly launched the1959 WUS campaign on the Western campxis. The comhiit-tee quickly moved to the following decisions: â€¢ Goal of the drive will be $1,500. â€¢Slogan is to be "That learning may not die." BUT THERE-ARE more basic issues than these.Questions like "what is WUS?" "Why does it exist?" "What can I do to help?" These are the questionswe asked Miss Kelly. 'Well," the pert chairman began," WUS' is an international free world agencywhich is \ mainly supported by contributions from students." "IF EVERY STUDENT at Westernwould contribute 50c we would meet our goal. That price may be just the price of a lunch for you, but toa foreign student it may mean the opportunity to begin or continue study. "This is truly a worthwhileinvestment in humanity." Scanning the WUS leaflets, Miss Kelly pointed to a $550, 000 program thisyear to provide scholarships for refugee students, (including Algerians) in France, Germany, Sweden,Switzerland and Britain. IN ADDITION, WUS will be especially interested in A f r i c an scholars. Amajor university in South Africa is closed to African Negroes; noted regional WUS director GladysLawther said in her fall visit to the College, "some African cities the size of Belling-ham have only onedoctor." Mrs. Lawther went into debt to make a trip on her own around the world, during which time shevisited many WUS projects. "One of the things that Mrs. Lawther told us was that there are 2,000known student tubercular cases in Japan." "WE HAVE THE advantage of good health," continuedMiss Kelly, "and take many things for granted â€”like having a place to live and having books forclasses. Others do not begin to have our advantages. In one place in India, for example, students haveto walk 50 miles to school. WUS would like to build a youth hostel there. "If we would need furtherreason to be interested in the other students of the world, I can quote the WUS sponsors. They contendthat civilization is a race between education and catastrophe," Miss Kelly Said- By PAT PALMERFLIGHT FROM THE burning city of Belgrade, escape from Yugoslavia in a twenty-foot sardine boat,injury by the Germansâ€”these constitute only a few of the war experiences of Robert St. John, well-known newspaper correspondent.

His firsthand observations of the treatment of the native Africans- havebeen compiled into the book called "Through Malan's Africa," which was barred from the reading public in South Africa. Erik Low, Prime Minister of S.A., has accused Robert St. John along with John Gunther and Alan Paton as the three men most responsible for South Africa's bad Toward the end of 1957, St-John returned to Africa to report on the self-government in Ghana. He views Ghana as "the land ofhope," in contrast to South Africa, "the land of fear." ON THE SCENE to see the first bombs of WorldWar II falling, St. John reported news from Eastern Europe where he was surrounded by death anddestruction on all sides. The story of his war adventures are related in "From the Land of the SilentPeople," which has been hailed as "the best book to come out of World War II." A SHORT TIME laterthis war correspondent was once again in the center of a trouble spot. The new state of Isreal had justbeen created . . . this creation resulted in violent riots and battles between Isreali and Arab soldiers,which attracted world-wide attention. St. John remained in the Middle East for many months,covering the explosions and periods of uncertain peace.

One of the major problems in lighting is working out a light plot that will be effective on theWestern stage and still be simple enough to adapt to the stages of other schools when the play is ontour. ADJUSTING THE WHOLE SET to fit another school's stage, will be another problem for the stagecrew. Skagit Valley College, especially will present this change. The whole set will have to bereadjusted before the play can be presented there. For that reason, an extra performance, using the setfor SVC, will be given March 6 on Western's stage, for high school students only. "Usually there is a gap between what you plan and what actually works out, but so far, everything is working right," Flanders said yesterday. Materials from rich blue velvet to burlap are feeling the cut of scissors as costumes gointo making for king's cloaks and murderer's cloaks. The work is being done by Western's costumeclass and volunteers. Phone RE 3-6870 Magnolia Commercial ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1959 February 20 - Page 3 ---------- February 20, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 Field day at the Legislature:Amending the Amendments. BY LYLE PRICE AFTER HEARING ITS SPECIAL COMMITTEE report,Western's student legislators thought for a while Wednesday that they had gotten those proposedconstitutional amendments out of the way. But they were wrong. After the report was heardWednesday, Legislator Bruce Hannaford quickly moved that the committee's three recommendationsbe adopted. The recommendation would also rescind the Legislature's action of January 21 pertainingto amendments. But after picking up a second, the motion ran into trouble in the form of muchdiscussion, if not outright opposition. ONE POINT AT ISSUE WAS ELIGIBILITY requirements forAssociated Student Body offices. When asked at what exact moment the requirements would belevied, Hannaford offered the interpretation that a candidate (for instance, for ASB President) could win election to the office although he might not fulfill the requirements at the time of election. This wouldhold, said Hannaford, if he were eligible by the time he took office. ; Dave Amos and Dr. MoyleCederstrom, adviser, held that the recommendations as stated were ambiguous. At this pointRabourn moved to add to the Hannaford motion by inserting clarifying phrases in the three amendmentrecommendations. He also moved to add a fourth amendment. The. addition would require a candidatefor most ASB offices to be eligible at the time he applied The exceptions in ASB positions would beLegislative and judicial. Rabourn's added proposal would have Legislative eligibility included. "Is thisprecisely the opposite of what you originally meant?" Dr. Cederstrom asked of Hannaford. The graduatestudent nodded his head in agreement. "Why," asked Legislator Leo Dodd, "is it the opposite?" Doddhad seconded the Rabourn addition to the main motion. HANNAFORD THEN POINTED OUT that acommittee of five legislators had made the recommendations and that Rabourn had not only been amember of the committee, but had voted in favor of the recommendation. Rabourn countered, that hefelt clarification and improvements should be made even if thought of tardily. RABOURN'S MOVE wouldseem to do more than change just the time element. It would state literally, for instance, "to be eligible for the election to the office of Legislator, a student must have completed at least two quarters ofresident work at WWCE." Currently change and interpretation would literally mean that a write-incandidate could not be eligible to be a Legislator unless he fulfilled requirements. As Dr. Cederstrom once implied, a write-in candidate does not apply and hence escapes all requirements of one whoapplies â€”at least in a high school which he recalls once elected the waitress down the street as Queen of the Senior Prom. The matter of recommendations and amendments was not resolved, and theLegislature unanimously voted to shuffle back the report to the committee.

This were second among 20schools in US Could Have Had Satellite Orbited in 1956, Ley Reports By DICK PERRY "IF PROJECTORBITER had heen left alone, the United States would have put a satellite into orbit by 1956." Project Orbiter was the joint Army- Navy satellite program of this country started in 1954 and which was shelved in 1955 for Project Vanguard. s This move, according to scientist Willy Ley, last Tuesday's Artistsand Lecturers speaker, was a prime reason why Russia beat the United States in putting the first Iman-made satellite into orbit in 1957. LEY, IN HIS TALK "Conquest of Space," predicted that within fiveyears we will send a manned vehicle into orbit, and man will travel around the moon without landingthere and return to earth. He also said that within this same period we will be taking "shots" at ourneighboring planets, Mars and Venus. "Most p e o p l e , " Ley said, "agree that the Space Age began when Sputnik I was sent into orbit, October 4, 1957." He then referred to this as "year 2" of the SpaceAge. HE WENT ON TO SAY, however, that the basic concept for a man-made orbiting satellite datesback to the 17th century and Sir Issac Newton. Newton theorized that if an object could attain a velocityof five miles per second in a horizontal path with the earth, it would remain in orbit around the earth."But this had to remain a theory Save with our CASH AND CARRY DISCOUNT Vienna Cleaners 206 E.Magnolia 1-DAY SHIRT SERVICE Phone REgent 4-7620 for sometime." Ley said. It wasn't until thestart of the 20th century that scientists began to wonder if rockets could be made to attain suchvelocities. By 1911 the idea of "stagging" was patented by two scientists. From this our idea of a 3-stage rocket developed. Work began in earnest in 1948, and in February, 1949, the first man-madeobject was hurled into empty space by this country. After Project Vanguard failed to put a satellite intoorbit in December, 1957, Ley said, "'Orbiter' was quietly revived and called 'Jupiter C." On January 31, 1958, "Explorer I" was put into orbit. ON THE QUESTION, "What are we going to see this year?" hesaid that there are two groups working on various projects. One, a civilian group, will take eight or more"shots" this year. These will include a plastic-aluminum balloon which will inflate after it goes intoorbit. It will be 100 feet in diameter, be very visible, and may have navigational value. THE OTHERGROUP, a contingent of scientists working -for the military, will also take several "shots," includingone at the moon comparable to the recent Russian "moon" rocket. with no previous speechexperience.) KNOCKED OUT OF first place by a small margin of three points, Western placed secondonly to the University of Oregon.

It was their mostdisastrous road trip of the season as it left them out of contention for the Conference title. The Vikswent down 84-56 against RON SALTIS, a sophomore forward, has been improving this season and will be one of coach Jack Hubbard's mainstays next year. WHY WALK? For an inexpensive, good usedcar, see one of the 5-H's at Hanson - Hatuh 1205 Commercial the Lutes, and lost 74-64 to theWildcats. PLC racked up their 35th straight Conference victory in the contest last Thursday, as thescoring of Chuck Curtis, Jim VanBeek and Roger Iverson was too much for the Norsemen to handle. The contest was close throughout the first half however, as Western held within three points of theirtalented opponents. The Lutes came storming out for the second half and promptly ran away with thegame as - Western found trouble in hit ting the hoop. In one six minute period, the Norsemen got only a single point, while Iverson alone potted 14 in about the same amount of time. IVERSON'S 22COUNTERS were high for the contest, followed by Curtis with 20 and VanBeek with 18. Western's topguns were Bay Kycek who collected 17 points and 19 rebounds, and Nello Morganti who picked up 12.A 30 point effort by all- Conference forward Bill Coordes was too much for the Vikings as they lost theirsecond league test in a row. The Wildcats led from the opening tip off and the Norsemen committed 30personals in trying to get back into the game. Central took good advantage of the charity tosses as theyconnected for 30 out of 40. The Vikings out-scored their rugged opponents by five baskets as far as field goals were concerned. Western shot 27 for 66 and Central hit 22 for 55. Vlk Basketballers End Season This Weekend By DOUG SIMPSON A sport which has been practically neglected this year at Westernis swimming. Although the Viking mermen have had a disappointing season, they are improving steadily,and should do better in these last few weeks of the Evergreen Conference campaign. The Vikings are ayoung squad which has been gaining experience all year, and that will make a better accounting of itselfthe remainder of the season. Three important men have been added to the team, as Coach John Kulbitskiis looking toward the Conference meet March 6-7 at the College of Puget Sound. Letterman ColeComings has been out with an injured knee, but is ready to go, and should pick up points in the free style events. Al Coghill, another letterman, has not been able to participate thus far this year because hehas had to work. Coghill is also a free style specialist. The third newcomer is John Guberd, who has justbecome eligible. Kulbitski has had no one to enter in the butterfly, but now Guberd is on hand for theVikings in this event. The Vikings have two meets here at Western this weekend. This afternoon at 3:30p.m. they tangle with the Eastern Savages, and tomorrow at 11 a.m. are slated to meet Oregon StateCollege. Two weeks ago Western lost to Eastern, 57-25 at Cheney, but Coach Kulbitski points to the fact that all the events were close, and could have gone either way. Here at Western with more swimmersavailable, Kulbitski and Assistant Coach Chuck Stutz have high hopes of dropping the Savages. Although Coach Jack Hubbard's basketball squad has now dropped seven games,, the team is practically a shoe-in for the NAIA district playoffs which will be played March 2-4. Two teams from each side of themountains are selected to participate. Pacific Lutheran will be one selection from this side, and Westernlooks to be the other. Among other candidates, Seattle Pacific, St. Martins, College of Puget Sound, and the University of British Columbia have all been defeated by Western. From the other side, EasternWashington and either Gonzaga or Central Washington will probably be picked. Whitworth is also inthe running. Western's hoop team has dropped two straight conference games, and now has a dog fighton its hands to retain third place. Two victories this weekend are essential. Monday nighfs game withUBC is the last of Western's regular season campaign. Bill Wright and Nello Morganti have both beenslumping scoring-wise of late, but the two are still well in front of all other Vikings in this department.Wright has scored 206 points and Morganti 205, both for 11.4 averages. Ray Kycek and Windy Weldhave been the top point producers of late, but both of them are still below double figures. STOPPING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST'S third leading scorer Ray Wilson and beating the second best team in theEvergreen Conference are the problems facing Jack Hubbard's basketballers this weekend. EasternWashington will furnish the opposition on Friday and Whitworth ends the Vikings' final weekend athome on Saturday. Western will have to win at least one Of the two games to insure a third-place finish. The Vikings are tentatively scheduled to meet Pacific Lutheran in the NAIA district playoffs. Thewinner of that game will play the winner of the Eastern Whitworth game. The winner of this match willrepresent the Northwest in the national tournament at Kansas City. WASHBURN HAS SCORED 478POINTS to average 21.7 points for the fourth-place Whitworth five. Another Whitworth player who hasshown well this year is Al Rolf, a 6-8 center. The Viks have beat the Whitman squad once this year, butthe boys from east of the mountains have improved considerably since the start of the season.Eastern handed the Viks a defeat earlier in the season and are currently riding in second place in theconference. Kent Mathison and Al Fackler have done the majority of Eastern's scoring this year.Western Rugby Squad Plays Here Tomorrow EAGER TO RESUME action after postponement of lastweek's game, Coach Joe Davies and his Western rngby team will pit their strength against the University of British Columbia Tomahawks tomorrow at 1:30 p. m. on Western's campus field. The Tomahawks,one of UBC's better rugby teams, will be out to break the Viking win streak and avenge the early season defeat of another UBC squad at the hands of the Western team. The Viks beat the UBC Chiefs in theseason opener. COACH DAVIES is trying to get more speed in the lineup and will revise his startingteam to give an opportunity to players who have been progressing well in practice. A mixup in scheduling caused the cancelling of last week's game between these two teams. Cancellation of the game wasreceived too late for rescheduling with another team. A home-and-home series will be scheduled witha Victoria, B. C, team at a later date. Davies has arranged for Herb Langman, an experienced rugbyplayer, to explain tomorrow's game to the spectators. - S A V E - Cash and Carry Discount Fine DryCleaning Expert Repairs and Alterations Free Minor Repairs Superior Cleaners 207 Chestnut 24-HOUR SERVICE On WEDDING INVITATIONS PRINTWS STATIONBtS PHONE REgent 4-6550 MowBcllinslum National Bank B.

It's Good Enough for the Daily "Student publicity 'flacks' wanted to know yesterday whytheir press 'releases' sometimes are not printed in the Daily. Professor William Ames, journalism facultymember and former Daily adviser, explained that there is a definite lack of time and space foreverything for print handed to the editors. He said the Daily has no particular like or dislike for thesepublicity releases, but he did think the paper should serve as a critic and watchdog of campus activityand student government rather than as a student information service."â€”This from the University ofWashington Daily. Hooray! Somebody has finally been brave enough to put it in print. These are burreasons, too. For student information service, there is the Daily Bulletin. The Collegian does its best tocover the campus, but we must be always aware of the majority of the students-what they are interestedin. And the Daily thinks it has problems.

Judge Decrees Editor'Liar TO THECOLLEGIAN EDITOR: I wish to take Issue with a statement which appeared in the COLLEGIAN,February 13, 1959. The statement, at the bottom of column one on page five, read: "The decision hasbeen held up three weeks. Why? Chief Justice J. Speck says; he can't find the) procedures for-operating) the Court." Since ^ihis is not a true statement, it is in simpler terms, a lie. I would offer theseexplanations. First, Chief Justice Speck did not make the quoted statement. Second, the delay hasbeen because of an error in presenting the brief to the Board in accordance with the procedures foundin the October 31, 1958, copy of the COLLEGIAN, which is and has been on file in the COLLEGIANoffice. The whereabouts of the procedures have been known to all concerned for over two weeks and to the members of the Judicial Board since some time BEFORE their publication in the October 31 issueof the COLLEGIAN. My suggestions to the Editorial Staff of the COLLEGIAN are, first, if they wishinformation about the Judicial Board, they are free to consult me as Chairman of that Board. Second, ifthe staff is so desperate for material that it must think up lies to fill its pages, then a briefer publicationwould be in order.

This letter is in regardto the front page editorial by Faith Hearsey in the January 30th edition of the Collegian concerningopposition to the extravagant spending of $2000 for the services of Les Elgart. It seems that the ASBpresident, in trying to Justify the spending of $2000 of ASB funds for a big name band for the JuniorProm, stated that the funds were "monies" which had not been budgeted for any specific purpose. This may be true but he failed to explain where the "monies" came from in the first place. Does the majorityof the student body know that this money comes put of their quarterly fees?

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER APRIL, 1908 LITERARY DEPARTMENT. PIONEER LIFE IN THE LATE SIXTIES. (A True Story by Chelnesha M. Olsen.) The old stockade on the Sevier has long since gone to ruin. It is now a little less than a half a century since that fateful summer, when the Cheyenne lurked in every shadow and in the sage-brush surrounding the town, ready to spring upon the ambitious settler who ventured from the stockade to find some food for the half-starved settlers, or ventured out to his badly suffering crops long ago left to the mercy of the savages who swooped down upon the little town of Richland. And the settlers! Only a few are still living who remember when the men wore rough beards, hunting shirts, weather-beaten and often stained with blood; when the women often went barefooted and wore homespun gowns, for the nearest store was almost one hundred miles distant and could not be reached without great risk of life. Many were those who, driven to desperation, ventured forth, and whose tortured bodies were found later by the scouts. The children, too, seemed to comprehend the danger, and stood the sufferings of the settlement as staunchly as did the grown people, often showing marvelous bravery. There were not many horses in the town, especially those fit for Indian warfare. Several of the fastest were owned by Jacob Schmidt, who was considered one of the bravest and most useful men in the town. He devoted his time to carrying dispatches from Richland to the surrounding settlements, and rode through the Indian infested hills and valleys, lying close to his horse's back to escape the flying bullets of the Indians. He would grow white with hatred at the mention of the "red devils," as he termed them. Two years before, while Schmidt was absent from home, his wife and three small chil- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger dren had been murdered by the savages, and his oldest daughter, then a girl of thirteen years, had been taken into captivity. He later recaptured his daughter, at the same time killing ten of the Indians. Mary inherited her father's bravery; it was she who cared for the horses while her father was engaged in carrying the dispatches. One morning Schmidt learned from a renegade Indian that a neighboring settlement was. to be attacked by the Cheyennes that night, and leaping upon his already saddled steed he hastened with the warning. The day passed, it began to grow late; the sun began to lower, the shadows were lengthening, the sun dropped behind the trees, and still Schmidt had not returned. "What had happened?" the settlers asked one another, for Schmidt was long over due! "Had the Indians killed him?" "He is coming," shouted one of the men. All eyes turned to the direction in which he pointed. Dimly outlined in the distance they beheld a man on horseback coming toward them very swiftly. If it were Schmidt, why was he coming so fast? The rider was within a few yards and the horse was heaving as if it had run a great distance. The man was not Schmidt, but another who had been out scouting and had discovered that it was upon this settlement that the attack was to be made. Schmidt was still out and a dispatch had to be sent for help to Centreville, eighteen miles away, to summon the company of soldiers. Not a man in the town would venture, for the Indians were everywhere and it would be certain-death, they thought. Something had to be done, and that quickly. "Look!" cried a voice. Everyone was speechless as they gazed after a woman's form on a black horse, fast receding in the moonlight. " I t ' s Mary," they whispered, "on black Bess. She's taking the dispatch!" About two hours after the girl's disappearance Schmidt returned. Upon hearing of his-daughter's departure he became frantic and; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 was prevented from remounting his horse and following her by the men, who had all they could do to hold him. He had not slept for three nights and four days, having been carrying messages constantly, but his Mary needed his help. The news of the danger spread over the little town like magic. Men, women and children rushed to the fort. A shot told them that the red men had been sighted. The fields were still dotted with running figures when a volley, and still another, came. As those inside the stockade watched the stream of settlers dash inside the gate they grew cold at the sound which haunted them in their dreams at night—the warwhoop. The deep, hideous gutteral notes of the scalp hallaoing rose and fell with a terrible fierceness. Nearer and nearer came the savages, yelling like demons. Before the rushing savages were a few settlers who had not yet reached the gate. All in, the gate closed with a bang, and instantaneously a shower of bullets beat against it like hail. Inside the stockade there was no confusion, even the little children kept quiet and out of the way. Every man was at his loophole, and every man, too, was aware that every shot he fired must count, for the supply of powder was getting low. The women and older children busied themselves in making bullets and loading the guns for the men at the loopholes. Over all the moon and stars looked down in solemn dignity. Fiercer grew the fight, and lower grew the powder supply. Although this little band of pioneers were doing deadly work there were always plenty of redskins to take the place of the ones who dropped. But the supply of powder was fast giving out. Suddenly the impish yelling ceased. Those on watch could see in the moonlight the skulking black forms moving away in the distance. It was too much to hope that the Indians had given up. "Wonder what their little game is now?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger said Schmidt. "You may depend upon it, they are up to some new deviltry.'' It was a period of intense stillness and fearful suspense; the settlers hardly dared to breathe freely. Nor did the strict vigilance lax; every man at his loophole strained his eyes, peering out into the dim moonlight to detect some sneaking savage. Where was Mary? Was one of those skulking redskins wearing her scalp ? or had she succeeded in reaching the soldiers at Centreville? If help would only arrive in time! was the muttered prayer. They waited an hour—maybe two. It seemed ages to the waiting townspeople. A white-faced woman ran out of her cabin, and in an awe-stricken whisper: "They're boring under the stockade." Which investigation proved to be true, for a stealthy, crunching sound fell upon their listening ears. So this was their scheme. Two silent, determined men took their places near where they thought the hole would be made. The noise kept on at intervals. Men. women and children took places at the walls to listen for that grinding sound. Several other-places were discovered, at each place two men knelt with axes raised to kill the first Indian to come from under the wall. Through the loopholes the watchers could see several black wriggling forms making their way through the grass to the wall. They were becoming bolder again and the silhouettes of several forms carrying something toward the stockade could be seen. They did not have to wait long for soon they smelt smoke. It was small pieces of wood the Indians had carried and they were starting fires all around the walls. Now they were carrying poles. What was to be done ? No powder to shoot with and the Indians about to burn up the fort, and climb over the walls by means of poles. In the cabin where the digging and boring was first heard, the ground was beginning to loosen. A small light was made, showing the guards what the Indians were doing. Finally ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 the ground caved in. The earth was quickly taken out of the hole from the outside and two feathers poked through. Higher and higher they lifted; then a cruel face. The men made quick use of their weapons; then settled to watch once more. After some time had elapsed the dead body of the Indian disappeared and a hideous yell rent the air. Onee again the deep gutteral sound of the warwhoop seemed to come from every side. It was almost daylight. Several feathered heads were seen slowly rising over the stockade wall. The settlers waited breathlessly. They were helpless, and knew now that they would be massacred if help did not come immediately. Suddenly the fearful yelling stopped. A volley rang out some distance away. Soon another volley; this time very much nearer. A flash of hope brightened the solemn faces of the besieged pioneers. Could it really be help coming or was it another band of the Cheyennes ? The Indians seemd to be dissatisfied. They hesitated a moment, and then they could be seen running hither and thither in a confused way. There was a rush, not at the fort this time, but to the heavy woods, for there, riding across the fields, came a band of soldiers. A great cheer came from the townsmen in the stockade as they watched their rescuers rush triumphantly toward the gate, which was swung open to meet them, and the first to enter was Mary. At the sight of her three rousing cheers were given. She had insisted upon returning with the soldiers, knowing that her father would be uneasy until he had her with him again. SENIOR TROUBLES. The close of each school year finds many impatient Seniors daily visiting the various departments in quest of grades, credits, recommendations, assistance on this and other numerous requirements that so concern members of that class. Already have those elderly people versed in pedagogy begun to ply their magic ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger quest to the end of securing that which fits a Normal student for "abnormal" life. At almost any period of the day one may see some members of the faculty, closely and secretly interviewed by a judicious Senior. It may be that the conference is with the teacher in mathematics, when such a question as '' Do you think I display marked ability in mathematics?" is asked. The question comes similarly to the depart ment of education when one asked, "Do yoj think I will make a psychological reasoner?" These and many other worries make the life of the average Senior as busy as a bee in June. Here is the rehearsing of the events that are dated for the near future, as we overheard them betwen two Seniors: "Oh, just think what we have before us; there are our finals, and our back work will all have to be made up soon. I'm conditioned in gym., also in agriculture because my grafts didn 't grow; then we have to have the outlines for our theses in by the fifteenth of April, and the girls think they won't give us longer than the tenth of May to have our graduating dresses finished. And besides this we'll have to get our pictures taken before school closes; then there's the Junior banquet; do hope I'll be able to eat. But just think of the applications we 11 have to send out. Oh! I'll be glad when it's over." ALUMNI. And Undergraduates. (By Clara Tarte.) Misses Nora Corbett and Helen Goldwaith are teaching at Buckley, Wash. Miss Jessie Jamison is now Mrs. G.

Nine years ago, when this school first came-into existence, Dr. Mathes was chosen the administrative head. Dr. Mathes was then occupying the chair of history in the Idaho Normal School at Lewiston. The choice has proven to be a wise one. Under his farseeing and conscientious management the school has prospered greatly. This Normal is the only one in the state that has had but one president. This fact speaks well of Dr. Mathes' ability as an organizer and executive. Dr. Mathes has had many tempting offers, by other institutions of learning, if he would sever his connection with the school. But he is a firm believer in the great future of this institution, and we find him today guiding and directing its manageemnt toward that end. Let us look at just a few of the great changes during the last eight years. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 today we have a beautiful plot of ground, and with the plans which are laid for the future there will be no more beautiful campus anywhere. There was no gymnasium, no dormitory, no greenhouse, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. With the completion of the Science Annex we have the most beautiful building in the state. The faculty has increased from six to twenty-six members. Here a comment should be made upon the kind of faculty which he has chosen. We find all of the faculty strong, broad and intellectual, graduates of various eastern colleges and universities. In bringing about these changes in selecting the members of the faculty, Dr. Mathes has been the ever-present and active factor. It is by these that he is judged by the outside world, but we students, who meet him everyday, who sit in his classes, feel his influence in another way, more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, his refinement and courteous manner has its effect upon the scholars. We leave the school and pass out into the world feeling that we have learned lessons from him never to be forgotten—lessons that we could not have gotten from a less noble character, a less deep nature. And so we find Dr. Mathes respected by the world without, loved and respected by the student body. It is with much pleasure that we publish the original story, found in Literary Department. The management of the paper would like to see it made a permanent feature. Let others follow Miss Olsen's example. One thing which we lack in this school is school spirit. It is not because there is lack of spirit in the schools. Class spirit runs high at times. But it is the prevailing opinion that class spirit is carried to an extreme, and to the extinction of school spirit. A school is a unit and there should be unity between the students We find class contests, class functions better patronized than those where the school as a whole is concerned. Not that we do not believe ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger in class spirit, a great deal of good may be gotten from contests and friendly rivalry, but we should not forget that school matters are far more important than class matters. Let us salute with one accord the "Blue and White," our school colors. What do you think about a school pin? ATHLETICS. (By Noah Davenport.)

The most amusing and really pitiful game of the season we played some time ago with an "alleged" team from the burg of Everson. Guy Dunning, captain. It will be remembered that Mr. Dunning made a record here in times ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 past. One of our professors was heard to apply the name of "Greek gods" to the athletes of the school, and it has occurred to us that this term was suggested by the athlete in a bathing suit who starred for Everson. To the "god" characteristic he added all the charm of a, Romeo and scarce could make a free throw (of which his referee gave him many) without casting languishing eyes at the Juliets in the gallery. We are justly proud of this Normal product the way he sustains his old name. Everson has since forgotten to give us our re-tur game or to return the nine good dollars we gave them. We notice that Mr. Dunning has headed a baseball team of rural teachers to combat city teachers. Probably it is due to this fact that he has overlooked us. Basket ball season has closed at the Normal and with the close of the season activities in the line of athletics cease. We have been unfortunate in getting outside teams to play here, there being no outside team in the gymnasium this year. We notice that Ellensburg Normal is claiming the state championship of all Normals and High School teams on the ground that they won from us and from the champion High School team of Seattle. We would like to call attention to the fact that Ellensburg has not played a single important game outside their own gym. this year. They arranged two dates with us, calling the games off in each case after we had done our advertising. It is all very well for a team to stay in their own so-called gymnasium and boast about beating all comers, but the team that deserves credit for their victories is the one that will move away from home and risk a game. We question this assertion of yours, Mr. McKinstry. and invite you to take a chance away from home. Our season was to close with a game with Snohomish, on March 28, but without notifying us they failed to appear. We made up a team from the school and the local Y. M. C. A., which put up as good a game as Snohomish would have furnished us. We thank the Y. M. C. A. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger boys for their kindness. If there is such a thing as honor in athletic sports we would like to suggest that one or two or three high schools on the coast might profit by practising it when they deal with other schools. The habit of breaking contracts is not a good one to form in the high school. The association has taken up the matter of building an asphalt tennis court in the near future. The Normal has put out a magnificent baseball team. With Mr. Leavy to secure the games and Mr. Bowman to lead the team to victory there will be things doing in baseball. LOCALS. (By Louise Walker and Helen Linden.) THINGS OF INTEREST. The faculty had an enjoyable evening on Wednesday, March 26. This was one of a series of parties of the year. The faculty was divided into three divisions for entertainment, each division to entertain twice during the year. One of these divisions presented a play, "The Shakespearean Conference,'' to the rest of the faculty, after which the east and audience adjourned to the faculty room, where a genuine college spread followed. The following is an extract from the W. W. H. S. Pedestal: First Girl—"Oh, kids, there are 300 girls at Bellingham and only five boys." Second Girl—"Well, five will do me." We would like to inform our Walla Walla friends that we have twenty-five boys, and that quality, not quantity, counts. Mrs. Nettleton entertained very delightfully the Seniors, Saturday evening, March 28. The Shakespearean Conference, which was given Thursday night, was repeated. The class and cast were then escorted to the faculty room, where dainty refreshments were served. Songs and stories concluded the evening's entertainment. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Miss Maud Drake was called home Monday by the serious illness of her father.

A Triangle Declamatory Contest will be hell May 15, at Ellensburg, between Cheney, Ellens-burg and Bellingham Normals. Each school will have two representatives, one in declamation, the other in an original oration. Contestants will work for honors. Our declamation representative will be Miss Clara Tarte. Miss Lucille Griffith and Roxy Mendenhall are visiting Edens Hall. Olive K.—"Do you want to buy some two-cent stamps?" Grace H.—"How much are they?" We are glad to see Mr. Stone and Mr. Forrest back in school again. The Junior class is coming quite proficient in the art of grafting, through the careful instructions of Mr. Epley. The students are glad to have a new piano in the gym. Trimble says it's time for "Bird" hunting. O.—Grace (Waikle) where are you going to teach, in college or high school?

XXIX—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 23, 1930 Tri-Normal Meet Tomorrow -*• Normalite TEACHER'S TASK BERTRAND RUSSELL CYNICAL YOUTH TRUTH —ARDEN BENTHIEN We are sorry to tell you that the illness of Bob Walters, the regular writer of this column,' makes it impossible for him to write it this week. We wish him a speedy recovery. For now, we have had the honor to be selected in his place. Consider yourselves introduced. W. S. N. S. Now that graduation time is approaching, we cannot help considering the serious nature of the profession of teaching. It is hard for us to conceive the fact that each of these boys and girls with whom we Tiave associated for the past nine months will soon have entirely in his hands the gigantic responsibility of guiding the education of from twenty to thirty young lives, For it is a gigantic responsibility. It would be gigantic if there were but a single life involved. When you consider, as we did, the potentialities that may lie in the mind of a child, and realize the extreme delicacy with which they must necessarily be directd if the child is to be a true man, or a true woman, we think that you will be struck, as we were, with the enormity of t h e task which a teacher undertakes. W. S. N. S. We have been reading- an article in a recent magazine on "Why is Modern Youth Cynical?" by Ber-trand Russell. His main discussion is grouped under five heads: Religion, Country, Progress, Beauty, and Truth. Do you notice that these five things are probably the ones most worth living for? Any one discrediting the value of any one of them is certainly worthy of the brand of cynic. Because we think they are worth while, we are going to pass on in brief Bertrand Russell's reasons for the loss of the prestige of these standards in the minds of modern youth. W. S. N. S. Religion has lost its importance l o r two reasons. First, the God of -the modern has lost his definiteness. He is thought of as something -vague, as a "Life Force," or a "Power not ourselves that makes for righteousness." Second, the churches of today have built up an oppressive system of ethics that condemns many apparently harmless pleasures, and has probably been the greatest of factors in keeping youth from the churches. Russell says, "I have known earnest young men who- accepted wholeheartedly the teachings of Christ; they found themselves in opposition to official Christianity." W. S. N. S. Love of country, or patriotism, is almost a lost ideal. The fact that the power of nationalism is so frequently misused in a free nation has made it apparent to youthful intelligence that patriotism is the 'chief curse of the age." W. S. N.-S. Our ideals of progress have too much of the character of Babbitt about them. Only measurable progress is recognized today, and it is Russell's belief (and ours) that the really important things are not measurable at all. Hence modern youth, vaguely sensing an insincerity in the basis nature of the present conception of "Progress," thinks but little of it as an ideal. -W. S. N. S. The word "Beauty" has lost its significance. There is somehow an old-fashioned touch to the very thought of beauty as an ideal. As Russell says, "A modern artist would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty." He seems to rather seek to startle. W. S. N. S. Truth, instead of being an ideal in present days, is something to be torn down. All sorts of enemies are at constant war with it: pragmatism, behaviorism, psychologism, relativity, physics. It is virtually impossible for an educated person to worship truth, knowing that there is no one truth that is better than another truth. W. S. N. S. We saw a group of little third or fourth grade training school children playing out on the mound, or the heap, or the hillock, or whatever you call it. Somehow they looked better there than they do swinging in iron swings. Drama Club Play Pleases Audience DRAMA CLUB PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED BY LARGE AUDIENCE First Showing of Phillip Barry's "The Youngest" Is Well Received by Appreciative Students. Last night a large and appreciate audience witnessed the first performance of the Drama Club's presentation of "The Youngest" an exceptionally entertaining comedy by Philip Barry. It is certain that if any among the audience were at odds with life and disgusted with conditions in general when they at-tered the auditorium, they left with a lightheartedness and spirit of "All's right with the world." The excellent cast and artistic planning of every scene put the play over in a notable manner. Victor H. Hoppe directed the production and is to be praised for his ability in the techincal direction as well as in training the cast to live and become one with their parts. His assistant was Virginia Howell, who did efficient work as business manager and acted the role of maid in the play. If you -know the trials and tribulations of being the youngest child in a family you are duly qualified to suffer with Tom Durham. Mr. Durham elicited sympathy and provided much amusement, as Richard Wins-low. He was a boy with ambitions, standing alone and being stormed at on every side by a practical family. His. boyish disgust, sincerity, and bravado were delightful. Charming is the one word fitting Lou Griffin in the feminine lead as Nancy. Her cleverness in handling the whole family make you doubt her sincerity, but she showed up "true blue" at (Continued on Page Four) o LEAGUE HAS SECOND MEETING OF QUARTER Install Jennie Berg, New President, by Retiring President, Jean Phil-ippi; Musical Program Enjoyed. The Womens League held their second assembly of the quarter last Fi'iday May 16. A discussion led by President Jean Philippi, was held concerning plans which would enable the League to raise more money for the activity program, and the advisability of assigning Big Sister for Freshmen girls next fall, was considered. Following these discussions a program was presented under the direction of Gladys Smith. Jennie Berg, newly elected president, announced the numbers. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, followed by a violin solo by Ethel Boynton, accompanied by Muriel Myhre. Evelyn Montgomery sang two songs, and was accompanied by Dorothy Montgomery at the piano. Piano Students to Appear Assembly Jean Philippi and Suzanne Ciss-na, students of Edith R. Strange, of the department of Music, will be presented in a musical recital by Miss Strange in the regular assembly next Tuesday, May 27. They will be assisted by Mary Miller, Irene Wilson, Muriel Myhre, Betty Bellman, Kathryn Berkeley, and Clara Vander Griend. This program promises to be exceptionally interesting in view of the fact that almost all of the young musicians are students of the Normal school, except Suzanne Ciss-na, who is a student in the training school. Miss Philippi has appeared before audiences here several times and always has been enthusiastically received. As the student body sems to appreciate programs presented by some of their own members, this is certain to prove stimulating. A varied and well-balanced program has been arranged which will include solos and two piano ensemble numbers. Have Important Roles In "The Youngest" LOU DU BOIS TOM DURHAM EDENS HALL GIRLS TO GIVE INFORMAL TOMORROW EVENING Dancing Will Start at 8:30, With the Five Bumble B's Playing; Lou Mohring General Chairman. Julius Raplee, who is a missionary in Venezuela, South America, at the Osanako mission, and who is now home on a furlough, gave a very interesting and instructive talk to-the Y. W. C. A. recently on the conditions in South America. He was very well received. A spring dance is to be given in the blue room of Edens Hall tomorrow night by the girls of the dormitory, in place of the customary informal. It was decided to make the affair as simple as possible on account of the lateness of the date. A spring decoration motif is to be carried out with flowers and greenery and music will be furnished by the Five Bumble B's. I t was decided not to invite patrons and patronesses, although Mrs. Alice Houston, Miss Fern Johnson, and Miss Adele M. Jones will attend the affair. "The girls have planned a very attractive dance", Lucille Mohring chairman of the social committee declared, "and have arranged for unusually clever programs. Mary Miller is chairman of the decoration committee. Jane Polachek is taking ctre of the programs and Betty Pederson is heading the clean-up committee." Will Award Cup to Tennis Victors No regular meeting of the Board of Control was held this week, although a special meeting was held Friday of last week to determine whether a cup would be given for the winner of the Tri-Normal tennis tournament tomorrow. It was decided that the Co-Op would donate a cup for the meet, which will become the permanent property of the winning team. It was also suggested that our Athletic department get in touch with those of the other two schools and arrange for a more elaborate cup to be given next year. The board will advise that the Trf- Normal cup become the permanent property of one school only after a series of winning meets. o WILL HOLD BANQUET On Friday, May 23, the Alkisiah Club will hold its Spring Quarter Banquet in the Montague-McHugh tearooms. o Poor Health Forces Associate Editor to Discontinue Studies Bob Walters, associate editor of the Viking, was the second Normal student to find it necessary to leave school this week on account of illness. Mr. Walters had been suffering for several weeks with attacks of the grip and flu, and upon an examination Wednesday it was learned that he has sinus trouble. He will remain under the care of Dr. E. F. Larkin for several days before returning to his home in Astoria, Oi'egon. During the absence of Mr. Walters, "Normalite", popular feature column of the Viking, will be handled by Arden Benthien. MR. BOND GIVES ADDRESSES E. A. Bond, of the Mathemathics department delivered the Commencement Day address at Maple Falls last Friday evening and at Puyallup on Monday. There were 125 graduates from Puyallup High this year, Mr. Bond said. o IVERSON ELECTED AS MEN'S CLUB PREXY Ingwald Iverson- was elected to the presidency of the Mens club at the meeting held last Friday, and Allen Ross was elected to the vice presidency, while Eddie Dyff was selected as secretary-treasurer, and Earl Hutchins was named to represent the organization in the Inter- Club council. A new amendment to the constitution was adopted, making the term of officer three quarters, rather than one quarter, as has been done in the past. Following the business meeting, Herbert Ruckmick gave an interesting talk on Photography, and explained the rapidly expanding importance of that interesting avocation. o SENIORS TO PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH BUREAU APPOINTS MANY TO POSITIONS DURING BUSY WEEK Work Increases for Appointment Bureau as Time for Graduation Draws Nearer; Many ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w w? lt; Wm$^m8@m WA^NCH^NS^^ Formerly The Wee*iy Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ^ by the Associated € Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by Virtue of the act of March 3, 1879. . , Printed by the Miller _ Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren BAYING THE MOON. Luring the present quarter, which will soon be the past quarter, many reform, have been agitated by students, though few with any effect. Nor has this quarter been an exceptional one. The fact of the matter is that students are constantly suggesting reforms, but seldom with any air ot conviction. We believe that the reason for this is that students have done much revolting over alleged injustices that they have gotten so calloused that they can't convince themselves any longer. We believe that the great-est drawback to student reforms is that we students yell too much and too We are agitated over everything. If the soup is cold some noon, we bellow about it. If the spinach displeases us, we point our faces to the sky and bawl. In fact, whenever we become displeased, we throw our B y lungs into action, and the whole pack of us go into full cry. Which would be all right if we used some discretion about it. But Ae truth is, we shout so loudly and so long that the faculty (who hold the whip hand in any dispute), become accustomed to it, and rather than lend us the serious ear, treat us with about the same respect that they would show me midnight tomcat on the back fence. We are either thrown out, or we are yelled down. And, consequently, a lot of mighty !'|p^"i«fbnns which would, perhaps, contribute to the efficiency of the school, go by the board. o MEN'S CLUB ' . \ . ' Comedy in One Act ; PRESIDENT: Gentlemen, let us come to order. :^t"y^MRvA.: I move, Mr. President, that in order to expedite matters, we dispense with the ordinary formalities of parliamentary order. MR. B.: I agree with Mr. A., but let us do so formally. I move that we take a standing vote to dispense with the formalities. H MR* C : I move that we merely raise our right hands. MR. X.: I second the motion. PRESIDENT:.. I beg your pardon, but which motion did you second? The second one, sir. I seconded the first motion, sir; but my voice was Well, here y'are, studes. We've been doing nothing but finding fault for some time now. Satire is nice, all right, but gee, it's tiresome to always be bitter about something. .* * * There's one thing yet that bothers us, though. We don't know what the idea is of having all these darned radiator pipes exposed. We are, at present, nursing a swell (ed) big blister on bur left elbow, a most inconvenient place. All we did was reach down after a pencil on the floor, but we let said elbow sway carelessly around as we reached, and sowie!—we got burned! Now, why should that be? * * * Also, we have observed that these blamed pipes are hot as—, well, very hot, even on the balmiest of spring days. Probably we'd better not pass any criticism on that fact, though. We may get ourselves involved in the dark and mysterious science of heating and show off our ignorance of said science. There may be a certain necessary amount of fuel to be consumed each day, or something. We really don't know. # * * Ahem! The "Sage Cynic" came forth in a student opinion last week to take exception to the term "male alarm clock", used in a recent Viking feature. We can't imagine who of the Viking staff could be guilty of such terrible indiscretion... But anyway, gracious us, gracious us, this ignorance is pitiful.. Almost everybody knows that alarm clocks are made in two sexes. Gee whiz, we learned thta when we were a mere child! And anyone writing of alarm clocks should distinguish, you know, so as to make his meaning clear. MR.X.: MR.Z.: not heard MR. X.: I beg your pardon, Mr. Z., but according to parliamentary procedure—and so on, ad infinitum. EXTEMPO CONTEST Glancing over the list of winners of the Fall and Winter elimination contests for the year's best extemporaneous speaker, Quick, Langworthy, Fitzwater, and Gerold, it appears that the final contest speeches on June 3 should be the best that Normal students have heard since the contests were started. Rumors have it that a number of other veterans will be eliminating each other in the preliminary, and this will doubtless put two more speakers of tried ability into the finals. But what with the competition this,year, the winner of the Extempo Cup will have something to write home about. This name, "Sage Cynic", though, has caused us considerable wonder. When we referred to the dictionary, we found that "Sage", means "wise; discerning;., well-judged;., discriminating; characterized by wisdom grave". Well, that left us still wondering. How could anyone be wise and discerning when he didn't even know that there were such things as male alarm clocks? Humph, say we! * ff * And this word "Cynic" bothered us, too. It means "a morose, surly or sarcastic person; or one of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers". Now that's not very blinking consistent. We ask you, could anyone "characterized by wisdom" be "morose" or "surly"? We think not. And as to the latter part of the definition, we could see how a person could be "Greek", all right, but "ancient"?.. —M—m—m—m— we think not, anyway. Names like that are just too deep for us, we guess. * * 0 Just to change the subject, we'll quote something a fellow named Coleman Cox, once said: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem, to have". Figure it out for yourself. * * • gt; GREAT SIMPLE FACTS 1. Though our relatives are wished upon us, our friends we can always pick for ourselves. 2. Though our faces are wished upon us, our noses we can always— Gracious!.. That was almost a break! Student Opinion Just a word to back up -Editor Craft's plea for an orientation course influencing the student's appreciation of music. Unless a student is naturally musical or comes from a rare school in which music has been regarded with the same importance as the necessary courses, he is going to enter Normal with a very meager knowledge of this art. It has been the lot of many of us to graduate from country schools where musical instruction occurred once a week and we were taught to carry a tune. From there to high school where we learned the definition of that high and mighty word, "opera," where interested ones sang in glee clubs, and where, if the school happened to have a fitting instructor, an orchestra was organized for a certain few who had been fortunate enough to take lessons. Now let an individual of that musical training enter Normal, plunge him into the musical artists' courses, make him listen to the gifted and trained musicians who bring us music in its highest form—will he understand and appreciate? Ten to one, No! He will sit restlessly in assembly, either read, disturb others, or look bored. But give him a working knowledge of what it is all about, instruct him while he has the chance to listen to artists, or just open the door for him a few inches. Soon you will find he has pushed it wide open and is exploring the beauty and wonders of a glorious new world inside. —W. L. o Hospital Notes Normalites Earn in Devious Ways DRAMA CLUB PLAY Those who did not see "The Youngest," last night, should date themselves up for the Drama Club Play tonight. The directors promised a good play, well acted, and it may be a long time before many of us will be able to see another. If you have been lulled to non-resistance during the past month by artificial dime-novel talkie-singie-dancies, it will amaze you how much you have been cheated out of when you see a group of human beings, under artistic direction, playing a play that was written by an artist for people who want their comedies and their tragedies to have tomething of beauty in them. Fisher Stresses Normal Loan Fund - « • »»ii Committee on Life Diplomas Receives Favorable Reports What qualities do a school board and district superintendent expect a teacher to have? The answer to this question may be found in the questionnaires re-turried to the Life Diploma Committee concerning persons who have made applications for life diplomas. These questionnaires are sent to school boards and district superintendents to find out the success that new teachers have had in | i i their first three or four years of Bleaching.- .'• fpli iTtoe ':kind of reports which the pf committee likes to receive are those which have nothing but praise for J that teacher. Some of these run as i follciws:••-This girl is an exceptionally efficient teacher". "She is a ppi thorough worker and has good co- operation with students, faculty, iSindparents". "He is a fme leader ^lindabasthe confidence of his pupils". "She is the most resourceful and original teacher in the system". "He is an exceptionally fine young man, refined, quiet manners, pleasant to work with, and willing to cooperate". "Each year she has shown improvement". "She is a fine classroom leader and a growing teacher". "She is doing splendid work and I would not hesitate to re-employ her". There are some reports on the other hand which the committee does not like to receive. These are of this type. "He was interested in his work but would not co-operate". "She was willing but not efficient", or "She has a good character but lacks general culture". The committee cannot conscientiously grant diplomas on reports of this kind so they usually recommend that the applicants teach their full five years. To date, 116 applicants have been approved and 31 turned down. At a recent assembly President C. H. Fisher, emphasized among other things, the fact that we have a Student Loan Fund. Commenting later on the fund, Miss Theresa Gunther, chairman of the Student Loan Fund committee, declared: "Any student may borrow from the Student Loan Fund on certain condtiions. Application to be made to the chairman of the Loan committee. This committee is composed of faculty members who are appointed by the president. Upon recommendation of the committee the student may be granted a loan from the fund under certain conditions. The total amount loaned to any student during his entire stay at Normal is $200.00. No loan can be made at any one time of more than fifty dollars to Freshmen or seventy-five dollars to Sophomores. The provisions are: 1. That the student must have been in attendance at the Normal school for a period not less than one quarter and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 3 ---------- $Mm? WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wwm^lWWWWW'M^M TROPHY CUP GIVEN TO WINNING TEAM In Tri-Normal Tennis Meet to be Held on Courts Here Tomorrow; Kork, Emery, and Jewell Play. /'Wwrni^w^w^Mmi^m WHO WILL WIN TOMORROW? Tomorrow will be the climax of the intensive training of the Viking •track men. Up to this time they have been working hard in dual meets and in practice to get themselves toned up for this big final event. Although the track squad has been small throughout the whole season a real conscientious attitude has been taken by t h e fellows this giving them an even break with Cheney for the Tri-Normal championship by their dogged persistence to win, as has been shown in t he past two dual meets with the College of Puget Sound and Ellensburg. Both of these schools took defeat, at the hands of the Vikings by scores of 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 and 88 to 42 respectively. These scores might indicate that either we have an exceptionally strong team or else the teams we have met were very weak. Ellensburg will undoubtedly be out of the race for the title. Cheney will probably manage to garner a few more points than Bellingham. That is, if the past times of some of the .runs of the Cheney athletes prove to be true. The best race will probably be in the two-mile run between Brink-man and Pelly. Last year Brink-man barely nosed out Pelly and this year Pelly will give Brinkman a better race because of his past defeat. At least it will probably be the most interesting race of the meet. Some other good races will be in the 440 and 880, but the mile and sprints will probably not be so , interesting. If Cheney is very strong in t he field events the meet will go to Cheney without a doubt, but if we can equal Cheney in the field events it is going to be a real question as to whom the pennant is going to go to. As far as I have been able to figure the whole situation out, no one can afford to miss the meet. The least you can do is come and root for your Alma Mater. o WEATHER SLOWS BASEBALL PRACTICES The weather has been playing havoc with the baseball team in both the schedule of games and in practices. In the past two weeks very few practices have been possible because of the dampness of the soil. Last Saturday the annual clash with the U. of W. Prosh had to be postponed because of the rain. Only one intramural game has been played in the past, two weeks. Handicapped with such conditions the coach and team should consider themselves lucky if they can get by their next game with a win. If they lose we cannot blame the team. The old Weather Man is the one to attach the blame to. o TRI-NORMAL TENNIS MATCHES Our tennis teams have shown considerable progress in the past few weks. I n t h e first matches with the U. of W. Prosh, the Prosh took practically every game, but in t he last matches the Vikings took several games and the Prosh were nearly defeated in several of the sets. If this can be taken as a basis, the netmen may come out on top of the pile with the Tri-Normal championship belt attached to them. Of course the team from Cheney and Ellensburg have to be considered, but since there has not been ,any dope available on them it is hard to say how strong they really are. All that I can say is if you really wish to see some real tennis sets be at the courts Saturday morning. o RECORDS MAY BE LOWERED Some records will probably be lowered tomorrow by over-anxious Normal athletes as they will strive to set a record for themselves. In the pole vault if everything goes all right the record will falL The present record stands at 11 feet 6 inches, and Flowers can equal this if not beat it. In the two-mile run the record will fall. The present record is 10:26, and Brinkman and Pelly have both run the distance in less time this season. , The mile record will probably fall if Pelly runs the four laps in as ** fast a time as he has been doing. The present record stands at :4:40.2. o — DO NOT FORGET THESE EVENTS There are three things that you must not forget this week-end. The Drama Club Play, "The Youngest." The Tri-Normal Tennis and Track meet; and the coming of the Viking Vodvil. Have you been practicing on your acts. Remember, try-outs are to be held on May 27 and a cup is to be offered as first prize. Who is going to win t he cup this year? The Thespians walked off with it last year. There will also be other ' big surprises this year. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, tennis stars from Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg will get under way for the annual tri-normal matches. Two singles and a doubles champion will be picked, and the school winning the majority of these matches will be given the championship trophy cup. Just how the matches ' will turn out is a problem. Although the Vikings dropped both of their matches to the Washington Prosh, they are figured a chance to cop the tourney. Little is known of the other two schools' strength. Cheney defeated Whitman College, which means something, but nothing has been heard from Ellensburg. The Viking team is yet partly undecided. Rork is slated to play the first singles and will pair up with Emory in the doubles. Jewell or Cdn-stantine will play second singles, Wednesday Jewell defeated the latter, 6-7, 3-6, 7-5, but another match is yet to be played. s Frosh Repeat The University of Washington Frosh again defeated the Vikings in six straight matches in a contest played here Friday, May 16. Every match was hard-fought, however, and the Frosh had to go a t top-speed all the way. Rork was defeated by Sletterdahl, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Constantine lost to Reike, 6-2, 6-3. Emery dropped a hardfought contest to Pierson, 6-4, 9-7, while Jewell lost an equally hard one to Talbot, 7-5, 6-2. In doubles Rork and Emery came close, but were defeated by Reike and Sletterdahl, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Talbot and Ellerby completed the defeat, winning from Jewell and Constantine, 6-4, 6-3. o ATTEMPT TO MAKE HANDBALL REGULAR SPORT SUCCESSFUL Viking Nine Have Two Games Scheduled to Be Played Next Week Some were glad and some were sad, as the last of the technique practices closed Tuesday night for Women's baseball. Despite threatening clouds and high wind that raged, the valiant women stuck to the posts assigned them to raise their standard of the number of fair balls, hits, number caught and, above all, to keep down the number of missed balls. From raw, unseasoned material, Miss Mildred Jewell and the managers have worked up some very promising stuff for a good, peppy Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshman have the odds on the Sophs with the hardest-hitting and surest-catching group of all. Sigrid Wiberg seems to have cinched the berth of pitcher for the Frosh, as no one else tried out. On t he Sophomore side the strong arm of Gay Smith would cause an even balance of power. The teams will be picked for sure, Thursday. Then some close games can be expected. When it comes time to pick the All-Star team the great question mark will be raised again, for even the coach will be hard hit to decide on the right ones. o PHiLO THESPIANS ON BIG WEEK-END TRIP VIKING CINDER MEN BURY ELLENSBURG Eleven Firsts Help Viking Boys Win a n Easy 88 to 42 Victory Over Foe, in Dual Track Meet; Blistered hands, tired and aching feet, and an earnest desire to at least get one good sock at the little rubber ball is the result of the first attempt at putting handball over as a part of the regular Spring sport's program for Women's Athletics. The turnouts showed a wealth of promising material for a hard-hitting team. Many hours have been spent in practice of serving and r e ceiving the ball. A round-robin tournament was put in play with the following women entered on the ladder: Evelyn Forest, Alena Bever, Marietta Bergeron, Thelma Hilburger, Olevene Bewely, Phyliss Gresnan. Each woman must win two games out of three in her matches. Twenty-one points constitutes a game. If a woman makes the first team 100 points are earned. Fifty points are earned for the intramurals. Miss Margeiy Horton urges support for this new sport, for only by support can the girls be spurred on to victory for t he Blue and White. o Archery Tournament Proves Interesting Sherwood Forest, transplanted to lower Sehome Hill, is the scene of the women's Robin Hood tournament of the Normal. When the challenging started, no one knew who would be the winners. It still looks doubtful, for the contestants creep up on one another every day that matches are played. The standing of the women entered to date is as follows: •Hunt, Towner, Koshi, May, Thompson, Bresnan, Pearson, Dahl. The outcome of the remaining matches to be played will decide high players of the tournament and pick the Freshman and Sophomore teams. These two classes will then shoot for the honors of the class. From these teams the all-star players are picked who will shoot for grand prize winner of the school on Field Day. o Frank Everenden will spend the week-end in Seattle on business. Fifty-three gallant Philo-Thes-pian sailors boarded the yacht Thetis at 4 o'clock last Saturday, planning to have the time of their lives on the week-end trip at Olga beach, on Orcas island. And they did! It was slow moving, going over, the trip taking about three and a half hours. Along' toward 7 o'clock people became decidedly hungry and so much fruit and several loaves of bread miraculously disappeared from the food supply. Having landed on shore with only a few sick sailors, working crews set forth to prepare lodging for the night and most of all, a meal for the starving crowd. Around 9 o'clock the whole family was eating heartily of the best meal they ever tasted. "5 Bumble Bees" Play A dance at which the '*5 Bumble The Normal Vikings had little trouble defeating the Ellensburg Wildcats in a dual track and field meet held here, Friday, May 16.

WASHINGTON EXTEMPO GUP MEANS OF INSPIRATION FOR POTENTIAL ORATORS Speech Contests Institution for Three Years; Women Monopolize Engraving Privileges. Training School Extempo loving cup! The name is heard after every contest and is the honored goal of the winner, but to how many does it appear any more than a name? The students are quite naturally and properly concerned only with the speaker, but, for once, let us reverse things and think only of the cup, its meaning; and what it may stand for in the life of a student. Proudly it stands, and engraved on its glossy sides are the names of individuals who burst, through the narrow bands of doubt and timidity, who faced the public fearlessly and gave to them thoughts original and significant. Probably t h a t public appearance awakened a latent ambition of the speaker, gave him a new and cosmopolitan view of life, while at the same itime there was a spirit of emulation created among the listeners. They awoke to the importance and value of such an activity and this led naturally to a stimulation, and from there to a higher standard in the public speaking and debate of the school. The current topics used as subjects by the speakers helped to give a new slant on problems of national interest. The cup came into the life of Normal in 1927 with the advent of the Extemporaneous Speech contests. For that year June Wetherell won the place of honor followed by Margaret Hill in 1928, and by Joy Efte-land in 1929. The cup is anticipating now, stai proudly, the individual whom it may honor for 1930. Incidentally, the names so far have been girls and our great orators have been men—perhaps our noble cup puzzles over that. — o WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS CONCERT The Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus was presented in its annual Spring concert in the assembly Tuesday, May 20. The club is under the direction of Harrison Raymond and Althea Horst Raymond played the accampaniment. Ethel Lever Hawes, soprano of Vancouver, B. C, assisted as soloist. The first part of the program consisted of numbers by the chorus and a group of solos. The remainder of the hour was given to the rendition of "The River of Stars," a cantata by Mr. Bawdin, with words by Alfred Noyes. PLAY DAY Wednesday, May 21, was Play Day in the Training School. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at 11:20 and rhythms and dances on the knoll by each grade, tumbling and mat demonstrations by the boys, with a final windup led by the pre-pri-mary were events of the morning. I n the afternoon there were games on the field: Baseball, service ball, ring tennis, relays, tags and so forth, in which every one took part. Play Day was originally intended as a joint activity participated in by the training school and students, from the country ^schools. This year, however, the outside children were unable to attend on account of epidemics. VIKING REPORTERS VISIT LOCAL PAPER Last Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, members of the News Writing classes and several other interested students went on a tour of inspection through The Herald press and composing rooms. Packed in and around Mr. Fowler's Ford sedan and Clayton Ungcr's "Chev" coupe, the thirteen members of the party let the school and sped down to the Kerald building, where they were met and escorted on their tour by Charles Sefrit, of the Herald staff. Many Interesting Features Several interesting features of the trip were the inspection of the morgue, the place in which all cuts and pictures are kept; the machine in which the mats for stereotyping were moulded; the machines which automatically receive news over the United Press and Associated Press wires, and the printing of the mailing edition of the Evening Herald. Following are the names of those students who made the trip: Harold Magelson, Florence Elliott, Clayton Unger, Wave Lampman, Myrna Thompson, Martin Jackson, Coressa Shull, E. Canfield, Charles Dewey, Mrs. Sarah Magill, Elinor Anderson, Marion Marchand, and Hugh Love-gren. o TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) prospects have been looking brighter, but certainly no dope slinger can name with fair accurracy the winning team. In 1928 Ellensburg was the winner but last year the Vikings won at Cheney by one point, the score standing: Ellensburg 20; Cheney 55; and Bellingham 56. This year Cheney has a good man in Pelley, who is an exceptional miler and two miler. He is expected to break a tri-meet record. Flowers of Bellingham also has a chance to break a record in the pole vault. So who will win is a big question. MISS RICH RETURNS Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the Training school, returned Wednesday noon from an extended trip through the East, in time for the Play Day activities. o The training school children will hold their annual "Hour of Song" at the regular nine o'clock assembly hour next Thursday, May 29. The purpose of this hour of entertainment is to show some of the different types of musical activity carried on by the children. There will be interpretative work, chorus singing, a harmonica band, and rhythm orchestra. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to attend. _ o T. N. P. Weekly Service CHENEY Two hundred and twenty-one students are applicants for diplomas from the Cheney state normal at the end of the spring quarter May 29. Dr. E. O. Holland, president of Washington State College will deliver the commencement address. The Masquer Dramatic club presented three one-act plays in the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, May 16. On Saturday, May 9 and 10, the 20th annual May festival was held in Cheney. A park program of May dances, street parade, concert, vaudeville, baseball game and a three-act play were features. Normal students took an active part. Elaborate decorations featured the junior prom which was held in the gymnasium Saturday evening. Five women were presented "W" sweaters, symbolic of athletic prowess, Friday. Points toward sweaters are won by participation in baseball, jollyball, volleyball, basketball, and hiking. The Cheney tennis team defeated the tennis squad of Whitworth college, Spokane, five matches to one, in a meet at Cheney last week. o PICNIC IN CANADA A group of Normalites, including several of the faculty people, pic-ni6ked last Sunday at Hope, B.

The committee has prepared thousands of leaflets and fact sheets forstudents to take back to their home communities for distribution during Christmas vacation, BernieWeiner, a committee member, said. The leaflets are available at the Associated Students office in theViking Union or at a meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday in L-4. "We're urging students to 'take peace home' forChristmas, because the war and killing and destruction in Vietnam will go AS drops Karp demand In aswift about-face, the AS legislature has abandoned its demand to the college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n forthe resignation of Student Activities Director Chris Karp. An-amendment easily passed last Tuesday'sstudent legislature meeting deleting all references to the long-fought demand. Student government hadcalled for Karp's resignation on the grounds that "all channels of communication had been severedbetween Karp and student leaders." Karp is one of three professional members of the Viking Unionadvisory staff. Student government officials said that they chose to drop the demand after "new channels of communication have been opened and it was felt that differences can be resolved in a new manner." The demand for Karp's resignation was only one of Fairhaven might withdraw from AS In an attempt togain more funds for instruction, Fairhaven students are investigating the possibility of withdrawing fromthe Associated Students. Insufficient funding by the state will otherwise restrict the Fairhaven programnext year. Only two faculty will be added, despite an increased enrollment of approximately 150. Littlemoney will be available for expansion of audio-visual, art or library facilities. Of the $88 per quartertuition, not more than $13 is designated for student activities and athletics. It is this $13 per quarter perFairhaven student that Fairhaven would earmark for its own use. Based on a probable enrollment ofaround 450, approximately $17,500 per year Â« would be freed. Money so obtained would be used forhiring additional faculty. This show of initiative may also favorably influence those foundations whichFairhaven is approaching for funding. The probable effect of this withdrawal from Associated Studentswould be Fairhaven exclusion from all or most AS sponsored activities and athletics. Fairhaven students would pay non-student rates for AS films, dances and concerts, as well as for games. Fairhavenparticipation in programs of the department of continuing studies and other Western departments wouldnot be affected. In a poll to determine whether Fairhaven students would favor such a move, 88 per cent of those responding supported withdrawal. three wide-ranging student government demands to thecollege administration Nov. 18. Student leaders are basically pleased with President Charles Flora'sanswers. Flora granted permission for the student representative to the Board of Trustees to attend allmeetings and also agreed that a negotiated level of student fees will be used as a funding base for theAssociated Students. The final portion of the third AS demand called for student government control over the hiring, firing and setting of salaries for the professional Viking Union advisory staff. This finaldemand is still being negotiated. on during our Christmas vacation," Jerry Field, chairman of themoratorium committee, said. The leaflets include articles by Sen. Charles Goodell (R.-N.Y.), introducing a resolution calling for the total withdrawal of American troops by the end of 1970; Walter Lippmann,calling for a negotiated U.S. withdrawal, and a Vietnam fact sheet prepared by the Republican PolicyCommittee. The moratorium committee is also urging people not to participate in the usual Christmasbuying this year. Shoppers are encouraged to buy items from peace organizations and to participate inthe Bellingham Faire Exchange, to be held this Saturday, where gifts can be exchanged. Items youwish to trade may be brought to the old bank building at 11th and Harris Streets, South Bellingham,beginning at 10 a.m. Items in need of repair should be taken to 1019 High Street. The buying boycottand Faire Exchange have three aims, according to Weiner: 1. Provide an alternative to the usualChristmas "junkie spree where we are taught by the economy that newness of a gift is to be equatedwith Christian love"; 2. Protest the Vietnam war in a visible way; and 3. Build and strengthen thecommunity of peace in Bellingham. Volunteers are needed to join the moratorium committee in goingdowntown Friday to help distribute leaflets and literature advertising the Christmas buying boycott and Faire Exchange. Those interested should meet at 10 a.m. Friday in the VU foyer. Literature andidentifying armbands will be distributed then. Other activities planned by the moratorium committee forthis month include a symbolic Christmas Eve demonstration and a mass mailing to local Bellinghamcitizens. Student J.D. board forming Procedures have been started to implement the development of anIntermediate All-Student Judiciary Board which hopefully will begin to function at the start of or soon after the start of Winter quarter. The college administration has approved establishment of the board andstudent member applications are now being accepted. Application forms are available at the Dean ofStudent office. Clearance for the procedures has been given informal approval by the collegerepresentative from the Attorney General's Office, with limitations placed on the right of this group tosuspend or expel students from college. The purview of this group would be to make certain sanctionson students and to r e c o m m e n d to the administration the suspension and expulsion of students.The Dean of Men and Dean of Women are forming the board, which will consist of eight studentmembers, at least two of which must be of the opposite sex of the other six. The jurisdiction of the board will be: all appeals and referrals from the residence hall judicial boards; violations of college r e g u l a ti o n s outside the jurisdiction of the residence hall boards, including (1) violations occurring when two ormore residences are involved, (2) violations by individuals who are not residing in college residence h a ll s , (3) violations at College-sponsored events. The board will assume the disciplinary role the Dean ofMen and Dean of Women now handle; with the Deans referring cases to the board. Dean of WomenMary Robinson lauded the board as being "a chance for students to create something." The studentscan reason and interpret the law themselves because they have a better ability to reason amongthemselves, she said. Ray Romine, dean of men, believes that in an institution of education adisciplinary system should be educational, not punitive. ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Miss Lorraine Powers retires as Western's Dean of Womenafter 28 years of faithful service. -photo by gable Powers ends Dean of Women post Dean of WomenLorraine Powers leaves her post at the end of this quarter, after 28 years of service to Western.

Dr. NellThompson, ad hoc committee chairman, explained that the original committee charge had been todevelop criteria for the elementary minor, but was now unanimous in the need for a major. "In terms ofthe legitimate aspects of our proposal, the state is between standards at this time so it would be a goodtime to attempt some innovations," Dr. Thompson said. She also pointed out that in a telephone surveyof teaching graduates of Eastern, Central and the University of Washington, Western had the highestnumber of graduates who were not hired. This is a result of not having an adequate background in thearea they will work in, it was believed. The committee urged formation of a "stop-gap type of program,"to be listed in the 1970-71 catalog, and the formation of an ad hoc committee to develop the elementary major. Two years ago a similar committee had advised them to stop what they were doing in theelementary major in existence then, and that the present proposals might be "getting us right back intothe position we were in previously by trying to institute this by September, 1970," Dr. R.D. Brown said.In voting to endorse the committee proposals, accepting the 1970-71 target date in principle, the Council referred the report to the education department for specific program proposals on elementary education. Abortion to be BOQ topic The Terrible Choice: The Abortion Dilemma was chosen Book of the Quarter(BOQ) for Winter, William H. O. Scott, BOQ Committee chairman, said last week. The book is a reportof an international conference on abortion, Scott said. The selection was made after Scott polled thecommittee members, the chairman said. "We had been waiting for the arrival of a book which still hasn't come," Scott said. Rather than select a book without first reviewing it, Scott decided to ask thecommittee's approval of a book on another topic. Militarism might be the topic for a future BOQselection, he said. "The book we have on militarism is good but the one we are waiting for might bebetter," he said. At press time, the committee had not outlined a program schedule for the BOQ. * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * IT'S CHRISTMAS HUBERT'S * featuring nationally known * brands of cosmetics andtoiletries * * for men and women AUBERT I { DRUG CO PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS BellinghamNational Bank Building M Mi. 734434^ Cornwall and Holly gt; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * â€¢ * * * * * * * * * ** * ' .

Five candidates competedfor the four seats available. Ron Roberge led the candidates with 393 votes. Other winners were FrankTranter, 368; Gary Sharp, 345, and Mike Tasker, 297. Rob Thon received 295 votes, failing to win a seat. Votes were counted Friday but due to a recount, results were not released until yesterday. ASlegislature requests journalism major here The AS legislature has asked President Charles Flora toestablish more journalism courses and a journalism major here. The legislature pointed out that agrowing number of college publications, significant interest in journalism as a major course of study anda lack of opportunities for advancement in writing fields were underlying reasons for its request. Theresolution, which passed unanimously last Tuesday, was proposed by Legislators Wally Sigmar andDale Gruver. CHARLES WASHINGTON Black Students Union Are you part of the problem or thesolution? Are you one of the multi-millions of people in the world (America?) that are indifferent towardthe massive killing, foul play and violations of life in civilization"! Have you ever considered that yourcomfort and luxury of life depends upon another's misery, toil and deprivation?? Why do you supposethere are such things as slums, ghettos or poverty? Do you condone another human body being burnedor in any other way redeemed for the comfort of your futile lives or materialism? \s life a merecommodity to be regulated by the powers that be of man's technology? Is there a fact? American life istragically devastating. This society is our starting and stepping stone for the combatting of imperialism,fascism and world-wide political oppression. The norm and values of this demented America are hell-bent in its dogma. The life-style of America is exhausted and ill-conceived. America was founded upon ahe, that "White lie," and lies have been the predication of every institutional enterprise in this country'sentity (starting with middle class values . . . which are predominantly White when it comes to attainingthem). Middle class and upper class aspirants are basically to be held responsible for the maintaining of apartheid, imperialistic, and materialistic systems. Here in America, the home of the racist imperialistand dog eaters, we have a major amount of the world power and suppression established in our midst.Persons interested in working on the Western Front as Head photographer for next quarter shouldcontact the Western Front office in the basement of the Viking Union.

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday -Saturday It is of dire urgency for contented, racist, apathetic White and Black people to realize that thepowers that be are dependent upon a scapegoat. A whole lot of 'em! Right now, the White powerstructure is wielding power right and left and the little White child gets more crumbs off the floor thannon-Whites. The Black man in America is the effigy, but what happens when he is exhausted? This c ar n i v o r o u s country is politically, economically and socially dependent upon a sacrifice, a human'sflesh and blood is the sustenance of its foul entity. One must realize with speed of fear that he is notfree. America is not to continue in its present course. A major problem that faces American peopletoday is race. Racism in this country is merely a tool to keep the masses of ethnic backgrounds fromfocusing in on the real problemâ€”the initial sin of man dominating man. The powers that be are awarethat someone has to be slightly favoredâ€”slightly, a difference in the approach of domination butessentially the end is achieved. The White man must realize his poverty of the mind is a far worse thingthan being materially without. The Black man is being maimed and murdered here in America becausehe is not free and he aspires to be without the burden of the White man. In countries abroad, the Blackman is bearing guns to annihilate any intruder upon his sacred ground of suppression. As was saidearlier, the Black man is not free here in American society. His every move is calculated beforehand bya White hand. It is at a very crucial point . . . if the Black man can relieve himself of racial conflictions or suppress them and be willing to call on the aid of the child of the oppressor-the White child-to come tohelp him destroy his White father. As I said, it is at a very crucial point. Aardvark loves bookworms ^Island in the Sound, a non- .-fiction book that explores Puget Sound's island life, is now in a Ballantinepaperback for $1.25.

Some students can rejoice and plan for an un-draft-inhibited future.Some must resign themselves to eventual induction in the army. The fairness of the lottery isdebatable. It is true that it was up to chance; those who drew low numbers will be inducted, those with relatively high numbers will probably escape the service. This is fair as far as the chance principlegoes but one factor which isn't fair is the ll-S college deferment. This deferment apparently will continue in effect, making it possible for the low number people to postpone their military tour. While this is arelief to those on this campus with low numbers, it still must be realized that this deferment isdiscriminatory: it allows those with enough money to go to college and avoid the draft; those withoutsufficient funds are inducted. To be really fair, the Selective Service would abolish all draft deferments forother than health or hardship reasons beginning with next year. We suppose this idea is anathema tothose of us with low numbers, but since the debate over the fairness of the draft has resulted in this half-way lottery change, it is obvious that if the government wanted to be really fair they would abolish student deferments as well. When one reached 19 he would sweat out the draft for a year, then forget it. Hewould not be drafted after that except in case of a national emergency. This seems as fair as the ideathat once was circulated suggesting that all young men be inducted at 18 or 19, even if disabled in some way. Everyone would serve in some way, be it a desk job or front-line action. It would be nice if theSupreme Court would find involuntary servitude unconstitutional in the near future, but alas, dreaming won't do any good. An all volunteer army would be nice, and may be instituted once the Vietnam warends. If indeed it does. Until then the law of chance will determine who will live and who will die, who willlose a limb and who will not. â€”Mike Gowrylow An ode to the other silent majority The only stars tohang in black skies over Vietnam this Christmas will be parachute flares dropped out of aircraftsearching for more humanity to destroy. The only bright green and red lights will flash in the cockpit ofa gunship helicopter, signaling the pilot that his death-dealing rockets are ready to fire. The only cheerysmiles will be pasted on the faces of Red Cross workers selling cigarettes in a field hospital crammedwith wounded. The only sleigh rides will be in the back of an armored personnel carrier winding its waythrough bomb craters on another search and destroy mission. Once again Christmas crosses the pathof war. Perhaps for a millisecond in history men will lay down their weapons to observe a paper peace, only to pick up their rifles and bombs and take up where they left off. Someday, maybe, men of different colors, religions, tongues and ideologies will crawl out of the muddy trenches of misunderstandingand discover that it's less bloody to give peace a chance.

V . ^ V . 0 , W gt; ' ^ o o , ' v . ^ . *JI It's happening SST- a rational need? JOHN MILES contributor The SST developmentproject raises far-reaching and critical value issues. Anthony Wayne Smith of the National ParksAssociation brilliantly summarizes these issues in a recent issue of National Parks Magazine. This SSTproblem is of such importance that we should consider his comments at some length. "Measured against any rational scale of human values, the SST is not desirable, but highly objectionable. "The basic valuejudgments, the telic presuppositions, on which the SST project is based, like too many moral postulatesof the industrial society, East and West, are false, and may lead to catastrophic results. "Moving forwardwith SST presupposes speed as a value. "The true values in transportation would be comfort, safety,convenience, and the leisurely enjoyment of the journey. "Air travel at moderate speeds and altitudes, with the magnificient views of the world it affords, can be an inspiring experience; high-speed, high-altitudeflights eradicate this experience. "SST presupposed proximity as a value; Tokyo, Buenos Aires, andLondon are to be brought as close as possible to New York. "Judging by the weekend exodus, mostAmericans think their big cities are hell from which to escape. "We doubt that many Japanese andArgentinians are anxious to hurry into Manhattan. "Most non-human animals have better sense thanpresent-day humans; the birds space themselves out; distance, not proximity, will be a guiding value inbuilding the hoped-for world community in the generations ahead. "Noise will be an intolerableaccompaniment of SST. Sonic booms 50 miles wide will trail their destruction across continents andoceeans, shattering the peace of the city, countryside, and wilderness. "The ear of industrial man isbeing deafened physically by the surrounding noise; his organism as a whole, physical and psychic, may seem to be acquiring tolerance, but profound injury is more probable. "The values of silence and quietude must be re-established in place of noise and tolerance for noise. "The destruction of the life-environmentthat will be wrought by the SST will not be limited to sonic booms. Vast Supersonic jetports will beneeded, leveling farmland, forest, wilderness, and human habitations. "The recently proposed Floridajetport is but one horrible example. "More gravely, the SST project is based on competition as a value,whereas all the forces of history move us imperatively toward cooperation instead. "We should becollaborating internationally with other nations having air transport facilities in developing a world-widetransportation system, not competing ruthlessly in the waste of resources and the ruination of the earth."Finally, there is a basic presupposition of impotence, of national powerlessness, in our handling of thismatter. "It is said that we must join in the competition, lest others capture the leadership or bankrupt thenation by draining away foreign exchange. "But what is needed is competence, not impotence-the ability to shape historical events to humane purposes." Welj said, Mr. Smith!, . . . ,, . . , , . . . , . . . .,._._ ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Western Front feedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedba Landlord defends withheld damage deposits Editor: I would like to reply to the three students, Vicki Gaunt,Cyndie Tipton and Pam Collins, who wrote to you complaining about the amount they were charged fordamage. I am the student landlord they were complaining about. The apartment was furnished and allthe utilities were paid for $125.00 a month. All four bedrooms were also furnished and the rent was thesame for either three or four girls. They chose to have three, otherwise the rent would have been $31.25a month each. Does this sound like the over-crowded and high-priced rentals for students? Theircomplaint, however, was the amount they were charged for the damage they admitted causing. Firstthey said they were charged $15.00 for one panel of a curtain which they had set on fire. The living room contains three windows, thus six panels, and anyone with even an elementary knowledge of sewingknows that you cannot purchase the same material a year later, therefore all six panels had to bereplaced. Also, someone has to make and hang these curtains and labor does have a value. Next wehave the cigarette burns. The worst burn did cover approximately one square foot of the rug. What dothey suggestâ€”that I cut it out and leave a hole in the rug? Furthermore, one of the burns in the tabletop was nearly 3/4 of an inch deep and about two inches in diameter. That does not sound like a minorcigarette burn, does it? The burn in the couch arm can only be repaired by removing a portion of material from the back of the couch and re weaving it into the burned hole. This service is not done free!Perhaps the rug with its seven burns could be bought at the Goodwill for $15.00. I believe that Goodwillfurniture is inadequate for student housing. Students who suggest that this type of furniture is sufficientcertainly cannot expect an improvement in the deplorable sub-standard housing that exists in the area.They go on to say that I am a struggling student who owns my own home and car. What my personalstruggles are and what personal property I have is completely irrelevant as to whether they should payfor damage they admitted having done. They also said, "How could he sympathize with usâ€”he doesn't know poverty." I think most students will agree that another problem in the housing crisis is theshortage of housing. These girls decided that they did not want a fourth girl and left the fourth bedroomvacant. Anyone who is willing to pay the extra amount of rent rather than have another roommate iscertainly not a poverty case! In twelve weeks they caused eleven significant burns; in my opinion this iscarelessness. Their letter and this letter is sound evidence of the careless and irresponsible actions of a few of Western's students. Clearly there is a housing crisis. The sub-standard housing must beimproved and the over-charging of rent has to be stopped. Illegitimate complaints will only lead to afurther separation of landlord and tenant. Honest and responsible action on the part of students as wellas landlords is necessary if the current housing crisis is to be improved. Gary McDonald Suggestsreasons for no cigarette ban Editor: I find it ironic that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has banned cyclamatesâ€”I note that part of the ban was lifted recentlyâ€”because some have beenshown to cause cancer in rats, yet has not banned cigarettes. As we have been informed by the samedepartment, cigarettes are, of course, a definite and dangerous threat to health and life when used over a long period. Ho-hum. So are automobiles. There are several reasons why there is no ban. First, thetobacco industry is controlled by a handful of powerful men who would put up nearly as big a fuss at any attempt to shut down their plants as Ford and friends would should a nationwide ban on internal-combustion engines ever be called for (and that time may be closer than we think). Besides, if thetobacco men could not sell tobacco, our benevolent government would undoubtedly subsidize them fortheir loss. Second, the Southern Congressmen would no more allow such a ban than they would allow a ban on the use of cotton! Third, and I think the strongest reason, is that the public requires more thanjust a report from the Surgeon General to get up tight. Even though a heavy smoker realizes the danger, the realization is at a "head" level and not a gut level. If he found that he himself had emphysema, or ifsomeone close to him died from lung cancer or had to have his larynx removed, the guy would have agut level of realization. But, unfortunately, perhaps he could not quit even with a strong desire to do soafter years of the habit. Even if there was a ban, think of the black market that would develop. It wouldmake the prohibition era seem like nothing. No, I doubt if there ever will be a ban on the use of tobacco, and I doubt even more if such a ban would work. This brings up the question, does our government havethe right to legislate against slow suicide? But, smokers, don't say you haven't been warned.

The item of prime importance for almost all mymale (and many female) friends today is what numbers everyone has in the pool. I want to state that Ihave no concern for my number, or anyone else's. We now accept a new method of determining whowill be forced into the illegal, brutal, degrading and immoral military of the United States. As long asanyone is being forced to plan or execute the death of human beings as an integral part of the worldpolicy of this country, I cannot be proud to be a part of it. I consider the fact that some men can nowplan their lives without fear of having to take part in the institutionalized war our nation lives, to befortunate. But until no man is conscripted and force is rejected as a means of solving world problems, Icannot be happy about such minor reforms as a draft lottery. It makes no difference to me whether Irefuse to kill as number one or number one thousand in the lottery. As long as this type of oppressionexists in any form I will oppose it.

In a letter to the College, the A. S. WickConstruction Co. gave assurances that barring unforeseen circumstances, four dorms would be turnedover to Fairhaven by Dec. 31. Delays could be caused by poor weather, slow delivery by suppliers orlabor problems. The addition of these four to the four dorms already occupied will enable all Fairhavenstudents to move on campus and out of the Hidden Valley trailers. One dorm will also be available forhousing Western students. According to Dick Norris, assistant dean for student affairs, room changeswill be made to remove overcrowded conditions in the occupied dorms. An attempt will be made to b a la n c e t h e dorms co-educationally and by classes. Any students who are to be moved from theirpresent room will be notified before the end. of this quarter, Norris said.

"Homecoming is dead and we are beginning a new college era," Sigmarsaid. Legislator Gary Evans told the student legislature that he took a personal poll of students a n dfound that an "overwhelming majority" were outright against homecoming.

I am aware that lists of recipients are made available only to the departments of which the recipients are members. This is not, however, the same as a published list widely and easily available to the entire academic community.Not long ago Skagit Valley College published in the Bellingham Herald the list of those members of itsfaculty who had earned merit increases. Western can do no less. As a matter of fact, all salaries are amatter of public record if one wishes to go to the trouble of checking them in official material fromOlympia. The quasi-secrecy which surrounds the names of faculty chosen for merit increases can onlygive rise to charges of political log-rolling and academic nepotism. Indeed, precisely such thinking hasbeen expressed from time to time by responsible faculty on our campus. As a taxpayer I have a vestedinterest in knowing how these monies have been spent and under what criteria the expenditures weremade. It is my understanding that the Faculty Council has requested the wide publication of thesenames. I urge you to honor that request. Frederick E.

Dr. Ronald J. Taylor, associate professor of biology and chairman of the ArboretumCommittee, spoke to the group of interested students and faculty concerning the need to developSehome Hill in a way that was useful to both the city and the college. Taylor displayed an architect'sdrawing showing one proposed development which would include green houses, picnic areas, ponds,walking and bicycle paths, public rest rooms, a lookout tower and an amphitheater. He explained howthis development would serve the community as a park and also serve the college as a place to studyplant communities native to the Northwest as well as those communities which are not normally foundhere. A good example of typical natural floraâ€”hemlock, alder and firâ€”is already growing freely on thecollege-owned land on the west side of Sehome Hill. Plans call for developing other plant communitiessuch as the deciduous forests of the Midwest, Taylor explained. Garden clubs and other civil activitiesmight take on planting or helping to finance the project, he said.

LIGHTING LAMPS across Railroad Avenue from the Leopold Motor Inn "We will place anemphasis on the ecological approach to development," Taylor said. The biggest problem facing thecommittee is getting the "city fathers" interested in the proposal. Herb Olson of the city park boardsenses that the college wants to make a "land grab," according to Taylor. Plans call for, the city tocommit Sehome Hill for the college to develop as an arboretum. Olson believes that Western shoulddevelop the land it already owns. The strip of land at the western and northern slopes of Sehome Hillwould not be easily adapted since it is so steep and much more land than that owned by the collegewould be needed. Taylor mentioned use of the LID land east of Sehome Hill in the future. There hasbeen some "chatter" about developing Sehome Hill as a ski area using artificial plastic snow, accordingto Taylor. "A minimum cost of $1 million has been estimated," Taylor said. Barney Goltz, director ofcampus planning, has said that the city would probably have to float a bond, according to Taylor. Taylorsaid he believes that money could be obtained from state and federal matching funds. The ArboretumCommittee was conceived by college president Charles Flora two years ago and has received fundsfrom the state to study the arboretum proposal. The committee meets at 4 p.m. the first and thirdTuesdays of each month in OM-C. EQC meets at 4 p.m. Wednesdays in VU-354. Tomorrow's meetingwill be to organize activities and plan speakers for Winter quarter.

Vol. XLVI — No. 10 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 The answer to an age old question has f i n a l ly been answered. It has at last been proven statistically that BLONDE hair always seems to be discovered on fathers shoulder. The fact is . . more blondes are likely to become bald than brunettes. However, brunettes are more susceptible to falling hair than redheads. The morale . . . put a redhead on your shoulder, father. * * * lt; But s t a t i s t i c s can be wrong . . . for instance . . . W e d n e s d a y evening a newspaper article s t a t ed that more meat is being c o n s u m e d n o w t h an was two months ago. For a person EXISTING in a college operated dormitory the only answer to such a statement is, "Brother, you can't eat statistics." * * * A WISE MAN traveling in the HOLY LAND these days would be wise to keep his eyes on the heavens . . with a prayer on his lips. * $ « . . . but, a Wise man in B e l l i n g h a m tomorrow would be issuing words of wisdom if he urged every person he met to VOTE "YES" FOR THE SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVY TOMOR-.

Also passed was the resolution stating that the A.S.B. officially endorsed the ten-minute technicolor movie which has been proposed to augment public rela- Seal Sale Gets Under Way Emphasizing the" fact that the battle against tuberculosis is a public affair, and the only way the public is asked to support it is by the purchase of Christmas seals, Clyde W. McDonald, chairman of the seal sales drive, announced that full scale vending procedures are now in operation. Envelopes containing 200 seals have been dropped in the mail already and checks have already begun to trickle into the Whatcom County Tuberculosis association in the Mason building. Persons wishing more seals, or who do not receive them by mail will be able to buy them at a downtown booth soon, McDonald reported.

A motion calling for the formation of a committee which will control all of the student body's recreational areas (Sinclair Island, Kul-shan Cabin and Lakewood) was approved. This committee will be empowered to take any steps which it deems necessary in regards to the maintenance a n d supervision of these areas. New Finance System Finding that the preparation of a monthly balance sheet of student funds will cost in the neighborhood of $250 annually, the board appointed the committee headed by Jim Sanford to go ahead with any recommendations regarding the institution of the new finance system it feels essential. Klipsun Investigation Learning that the Klipsun staff has a deficit of $192.30 incurred from last year's annual, the decision was made to clear the amount so the present staff will not need -to suffer the cut. However, an investigation will be made to determine, if possible, how the deficit occurred. Other business discussed included: the question of what to do with the camera which was purchased for the use of the Klipsun staff several years ago; the subject of the new pep and song leaders' emblems which was referred to the heraldry committee for its recommendations; and a repair bill of $44 from the mffiSc"department which was approved. Sociology Expedition Heads For Woolley . Interest in care for inmates of statev mental institutions on the part of sociology classes has resulted in planning two trips to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley on the two following Saturdays by approximately sixty students, a n nounced sociology instructor Donald P. Irish this week. Students, leaving at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, expect to spend about an hour touring the institution under the guidance of Superintendent P. E. Showlain. The experience will be repeated by a different, group of students on the following Saturday. Irish suggested that interested students not enrolled in sociology classes contact him if they wish to be included in either of the planned trips or if they are interested in undertaking a similar tour next quarter. Brown 6K Company Honored As %7 Klipsun Is 'First Class' First Class! That is the rating given the 1947 Klipsun*by the Columbia Scholastic Press association, sponsored by the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York. 925 points were scored out of a possible 1,000, in competition with liberal arts colleges of comparably enrollment throughout the nation. The National Scholastic Press, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, will announce its decisions in January. "Clark Brown, your editor, schould be congratulated," said the judge. Other comments were: Good taste throughout the book . . . the editorial staff has turned in an** excellent job of reporting and editing . . . your student photographers are to be congratulated . . . printing and typography excellent. Bigger and Better When asked about plans concerning this year's Klipsun, Betty Mc-. Leod, editor, said "The '48 Yearbook will be 32 pages longer, and we hope that it will be even better than Mt was last year." The new Klipsun will be published in May. Same Crew Listed Members of the staff of last year's Klipsun, who are working on the '48 edition are Kathleen Golly, Barbara Cozza, Betty McLeod, Nancy Merrick, Bettyjane Christie, Ruth Norman and Wayne Craig. Mt. Baker Beckons Local Snow Birds All ski enthusiasts please take notice! The first bus trip to Mount Baker is scheduled for tomorrow. The bus will leave at 7:30 a. m. if enough students have signed to make a full load. Holding its first meeting of the year, the ski club began tentative plans for the year's activities last Monday. Regular meetings will be on the first Monday of each month. Reports from Mt. Baker lodge indicate that snow conditions are. perfect for this time of year. Already this tourist mecca has attracted hundreds of sporting enthusiasts each week-end. Remember! Bus leaves at 7:30 a.m. Education Tax Levy Needs Support of Every Single Voter Voting students and residents near the college are again reminded of the special twenty mill tax levy to be voted on tomorrow. Polling for residents of the fifth ward will be at the V. P. W. hall, and for those residing in the sixth ward, the Larrabee school. Proceeds from the special levy, to be assessed in 1948, and payable in 1949, will be used to effect needed repairs on Bellingham's sixteen public schools and Battersby field. An itemized list showing how the $407,000 to be realized from the levy will be spent includes improvements in sanitation, audio-visual aid facilities, interior decorating, lighting, and playground equipment. Some of the schools, built over forty years ago, have shown need for repairs to steps, roofs and woodwork within the buildings. It • is planned to accomplish these things if the tax-levy passes. Battersby field wDl have the addition of new light clusters; fence repairs are planned; and the light poles will be moved outside the fence. Official Roster Is Published Basketball Western Style, the official basketball roster of Western Washington college, will be distributed next week to all high school and college coaches in the State of Washington. In order to gain publicity for WWC, the roster will also be mailed to newspapers and radio stations throughout the state. The booklet, containing twelve pages, will include the schedule of alL.this^year's, games,,.the schedule, and results of last year's games, a complete roster, and pictures of the coach and players/ A picture of Pinky Erickson will be featured on the cover of the roster. Because of a limited supply of the roster due to the high cost, Basketball Western Style will not be available to WWC students. Violinist Artist To Entertain "His recital was the most outstanding violinistic debut this season." These words were used by the New York ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bet)ingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 oditobials . . . News Lists Point To Exciting Campus A remarkable parallel can be drawn (with imagination) between the United Press' annual list of. the ten outstanding news events of the year and the WWCollegians newly thought of list of the ten outstanding news events occuring on the campus during, fall quarter. Of course the only parallel existing is the fact of "continuing news stories/' but at least no one can deny the fact that we had "continuing news stories." •Naturally the high cost of living was number one on the U. P. hit parade. '"This was followed closely by "the cold war" and "passage of the Taft-Hartley law and subsequent litigation." In the number four position we find "the Hughes- Meyers investigation" while "Texas City, Texas., disaster" was number five. "Princess Elizabeth's romance" and the "partition of India" were followed by the "series of airplane disasters" and "Arab-Jewish controversy over Palestine." Securely holding down the tenth position was "the world series." . Now we don't contend that our little list will create any worid shaking results but we still feel that cognizance should be taken of the various department and groups that have made WWC such an active and interesting place to sleep for the past quarter. So putting our tongue in our cheek and turning our back we meekly submit the fall quarter honor list of the WWCollegian: 1.; New Era (political expedient, you know). 2. Homecoming . . . special consideration to Armstrong and Lapp. 3. Building expansion and enrollment. 4. Student convoy to PLC and 'Pep club activities. 5. Music department activities. 6. Board of Control. 7. Drama department (Skin of Our Teeth). 8. Basketball season opener (U. of W. vs. Viks). 9. War Memorial plans. 10. Student Artist and Lecture series.

Registrar's Duties By NativeSon In the contrast to preceding interviews of WWC's new personnel, Donald A. Ferris, registrar, is almost wholly a product of the Evergreen state. Born in Yakima, Ferris has received a B. A. degree in education, a Master's, and is well on his way toward a Ph. D., all from the University of Washington. Linfield College in Oregon, and Columbia University made their contributions to his formal education; but on the whole, the man who came to WWC this, fall to relieve Dr. M. S. Kuder of a part of a big load could be called a true "Native son." Ferris began his teaching career in Kent, Washington, and then moved on to Issaquah, teaching social studies. The pleasant, quiet spoken registrar next went to Mt. Vernon to teach social studies in junior high school, high school, and junior college. He was guidance director in Mt. Vernon high school, night school director, and for two years served as vice-principal of that institution. Graduates or former students ot Mt. Vernon junior college will remember Ferris as dean of that school, a position he held for four years. Discussing Western, Ferris enthusiastically declared, "The college has great possibilities for expansion. I especially* appreciate the beautiful campus and the friendly atmosphere to be found here." The Ferris family, residing at 1000 Key street, Bellingham, consists of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and their three children.

Off-Campus Girls This is your off campus reporter bringing you all the last minute news on what those gorgeous gals who make up OFF CAMPUS, INC., are doing. Some of the girls were pretty lonesome this week-end because so many of the stronger (?) sex went home for Thanksgiving. Not so with one blue eyed blonde I know of. Seattle is a wonderful place if you know the right people, isn't it Ruby? . . . Say Irene, how did you get that bump on your head? Better tell that young man not to drive so fast . . .

Between term papers, tests, and practicing our Christmas caroling the inmates of Harborview are suffering from an acute case of lack of sleep. Barry Stockton, president of the house will sing a solo December 7 at the Christmas Vesper service presented by Bernard Regier. Meredith Hess will also lend her talent to this affair. If curses should be heard coming from this humble home it is only because the AWS formal is on the same night as the play. This is inconvenient for the actresses as they will look rather queer appearing at the dance at 11 p. m. smeared with grease paint. Only 10 more studying days till Christmas. Hurray!

Chatter Box Back to the old grind after the Thanksgiving vacation. We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Seems as if Bud Boe's was wonderful, even though it was lost. Dan Sayan went to the Ballard-Bremerton football game Turkey day. Joanne Rucker went home to Shelton and did nothing, she claims! Evidently Shelton is a popular place because Al Eaton visited the old home town too. Bev Snow's man came home from Pullman so her weekend was complete. Wick Roth just slept all weekend. Wonder what he did the weekend before? WWC was well represented at the Shell Saturday night. Couples seen there were Mariqn Hardin and Bob Call, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Partlow, Sally Park and Bob Gates, and Louis Kink and Kenny' Betner. Even if skiing conditions were poor at Mt. Baker Sunday, it was popular with students of Western. Ed McCullough, Blair Lewis, Bob Miles, Doc Walton, Norma Swan, Ruth Norman, Delores Christensen, Phyllis Armstrong, Madeline House and Stan Thompson braved the wind and rain for a day's skiing. Chuck Lutz's wrenched ankle was the only casualty from here. Many thanks for the new records on the juke box in the lounge. We really like "So Far" and "Bango, Bango' Bango" and how about the new "7-up" slot machine. It adds variety to the liquid diet. Plaids seem to be quite the thing this season. If you see a cute little boy walking down the hall in a beautiful gray and white plaid shirt that's Vern Whitney. Dolly McAr- 'thur looks very smart in her red plaid dress. Gordie Smith has a red plaid shirt that is really good looking. Saddles, loafers and Joyces are still the favorite in shoe apparel among the girls. Clogs are often heard during the rainy weather also. Looks as if the days kinda like these thick-soled shoes. Al Iraola seems to favor loafers because when he had athletes foot he could slip off his shoes and scratch his feet. Now he says other shoes are okay. Widge Black wears shoes because he's from Sequim and ^ everyone wears shoes there. That's about all for today . . . Have a good time at the dance tonight!

Other officers were: Jean McKelvy, vice-president; Esther Mjoen, secretary; and Mary Ann Oman, treasurer. The purpose of the Association for Childhood Education is to acquaint the students planning to become teachers with the profession as a whole and with WWC's Campus school. The meetings are to be held in the Campus school with each meeting in a different room so that all can become familiar with the building. Co-chairman for the discussion group are Katherine Niemala and ZIbona Daverin; for the membership drive are Marian Overcotter and Loren Rankin. Social chairman is Jean McKelvy and publications chairman is Jesse Winters.

After the first four minutes, the game was never in doubt. Ten minutes after the opening buzzer Western held a comfortable 18 to 6 lead. The half time score was 30 to 12. Cleans Bench During the second half the whole Vik squad got their feet wet. Some of the boys looked as if they need a little more work but on the whole the squad looked impressive. The starting five seemed like a fine ball club. Garry Starr and Stan Peterson started at forwards, "Moose" Zurline at center, and "Pinky" Erickson and Tom Green a t guards. Jack Ross is back off the injured list and will now be fighting for a starting berth. "Moose" Zurline. Tom Green Stan Peterson Tom Osswald Bob Cline "Pink" Erickson... Jack Ross Bob English ...

The gym will accommodate crowds of 2,400. The gyntnasium is a gift of the citizens of Tacoma. Cliff Olson, Pacific Lutheran athletic director, served as chairman for the fund raising campaign, and Mr. John S. Baker, Tacoma, was honorary chairman. A short dedicatory program w i l l precede Friday night's game. Dr. Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, will speak. Others who will participate include Dr. H. L.

Number one of t he season—and what a tally, 30-12 at the half with a final marking of 59 to 36. There were substitutions galore last Wednesday night as the Viks overran the Falcons of Seattle Pacific; every man on the bench was used. Well the score is now one up and t he Hilltoppers have faced two squads of almost opposite ability. First the fast and deadly game that the Huskies played and then the rather slow moving type of ball played by the Falcons. • Next Tuesday, again, the Hilltoppers are scheduled to face Art McLarney's five on the home courts, and another fast breakaway, rip-roaring game will be fought out. The Viks ought to do much better now that they have some height and some pretty big men. * Jack Ross was laid up in the last U. of W. game with a bad leg but he should"get in the next one. Jack Graham has a bum ankle and Larry Slovak is complaining of a knee injury. That's all for this week. SPORTS ITEM OF THE WEEK . . . A water boy who had never before suited up, but with two years experience in bucket toting scored four points last Saturday as the Modesto, California, Junior college threw all available manpower into a 30-7 football triumph over Weber Junior college of Ogden, Utah. Rusty Rusti-gan went in without any shoulder pads to t ry for each conversion after the four touchdowns. He scored on all of them and also a safety. ATTf!N!«ON BASKETBALLERS . . . From Eastern Washington comesMe report that the Viking basketball squad will be fighting it but with the St. Martin's quintet in the finals. St. Martin's is predicted to be t he cellar dwellers! I don't think we can get them on a liabel charge but we can sure get them in the neck. True—Big Bill has played only two games so far, but the way his squad is shaping up he is going to have a good club this season. Of course it is still pretty, early in the season to have much faith in these early season predictions . . . well make ours later. LEAGUE LOG . . . Pacific Lutheran's new $225,000 gymnasium will be dedicated when they play the U. of W. five tonight in Tacoma. Jerry McLaughlin, a six-foot, three-inch center, will be in the key spot. He was second high collegiate scorer in the nation last season with 479 points. Wesley Saxton and Gene Lun-gaard will be t h e starters at the forward spots. The only two men on the starting lineup who a re under six feet are the two guards—Willis McLaughlin and Howard Willis. Last week Whitworth came but nine points short of doubling the score that Farragut college chalked up—38. Then we come to Eastern Washington squad who racked up more than a triple tally on the boys from Levitch—72 to 23. ROUND »N ABOUT . . . Way down in Medford, Oregon, last week, PLC came through again to score over Southern Oregon in a brisk Thanksgiving day game. And it was brisk too. There was some good hard playing with Oregon leading by two TD's at t he half. Five thousand fans were there to see the Lutes stage a powerful second half comeback to defeat the Red Raiders 27 to 21. The.victory was the seventh for the Lutes in nine games, the other two tilts ended in ties. * ACROSS THE NATION . . . Back in Philadelphia, the Cadets, led by their brilliant 172-pound fullback, Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, walked all over the Navy to bring down the curtain on their '47 season with an impressive 21-0 eyelashing. Probably the most spectacular play of the game was when the powerful back thrilled the 101,500 fans with his 92 yard touchdown play. Hoop Secrets Expounded For Matilda t By BILL BAKER Matilda went ' to see Western Washington play basketball. She doesn't remember who they piayed, in fact she doesn't remember much. This column is dedicated to people like Matilda, those who do not understand the intricacies of the cas-aba sport. The game is simple, one team pitted against another trying to sink~ as many baskets as possible in. the opposition's basket, that's all there is to it. Or is it? The first thing Matilda should know is t h a t the plays are set up by the guards as they come down the floor. Signa-s are sent to the rest of the quintet by the use of their hands and the team immediately falls into a formation. Blocking is just as essential in the maple sport as it is on the gridiron. The players are assigned men to block, as inconspicuously as possible, to pave the way for the ball carrier as he leaps to glory. But remember, Matilda, the glory doesn't all go to the lad that made the basket. A basketball player may look as though he is running up and down the floor aimlessly, but he has many tricks that will make him above average if w o r k e d e x p e r t l y. Watch for some of these details next time, Matilda, and maybe you will remember more about the game. Does Jersey Joe Stand a Chance? Another attempt will be made tonight to wrest the world's heavyweight championship from Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden. The unlucky man this time is Jersey Joe Walcott, a lighter but perhaps taster man t h an the champ. Louis is said to be in tip-top condition and weighs in at 212, the most of his entire championship career. Jersey Joe pounds the scales at 192, but is earmarked as making up for the weight in his speed in the ring. The majority agrees that the only chance Walcott has to defeat the champ is to land one lucky punch. That chance, shown by the betting odds, is about 10 to 1. It has been rumored that the champ has been slowing up a little in his old =age (33) but appears to be in first-rate condition. Jersey Joe, also 33 years old, will undoubtedly have a very difficult time rocking the supports from under Louis's 13 year championship career. It must be remembered that although one good punch would shatter this career, that one punch is going to be the hardest to connect with. Vik Lads Rate With Rangers St. Martin's Rangers came nearest to an upset win in holding Central Washington college to a 7-0 victory, but the Saints turned right around and figured that three of the' Central Wildcats were good enough to rate on their all-opponent team as announced Tuesday. . At the ends Rangers picked Walt Clayton of Western Washington and Nagel of Eastern; tackles—Charles Schroeder of Linfield and Leo Hake of Central; Don Bort of Central and Bill Currier of Linfield, guards; and Mork of Central, center. In the backfield, the Saints' all-foe choices are Bud Thrapp of Eastern, Vern Tucker of Whitworth, Jerry Karnofski of Western and Frank Spear of Pacific Lutheran.

Miss Moldrem has appeared, in many Guild plays and is prominent in college music circles. Eliza Crosses The Ice Safely In Local Guild Showing By Clarence Soukup Bringing back to the vivid imagination, the story that split the nation asunder back in the 1960's, the little Theater Guild at 120 Prospect street scores another triumph with its production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," now running currently at the Guild playhouse. Performances may yet be seen tonight and tomorrow. Beginning with Eliza's crossing the Ohio on the ice and ending with the whipping and death of Uncle Tom, the scenes were staged and pbrtrayed with such realism that the first-night audience fairly gasped. Tom's whipping by Simon Le-gree is so forceful that the spectators cringed in their seats. Alva Potter gives an excellent interpretation of the kind-hearted, God-loving old Negro. Glenmore Jones in a double role draws his share of laughs for his real-to-life character portrayals. Perhaps an unusual role was the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance staged by Ronald Lund. From the gentle, kind-hearted St. Clare, he transforms into the cruel, morbid, and tyrannical Simon Legree. Beulah Padavon also draws praise for her role of Topsy. Others in the show giving able performances were Victor Dickinson, Glessner Burchette, Melvin Erickson, Bill Biggerstaff, Maurice Nelson, Maxine Moldrem, Olive Thon, Gertrude Lund, Mary Hibner, and Ronald Jones.

NEW RCA RECORDER HERE FOR STUDIO Marking another milestone of advancement into the radio field by WWC, a new RCA recorder has arrived; and may be seen in the radio studio on the third flopr. This announcement was received Wednesday from Dr. Jack Cotton of the Speech department. The new recorder can do a professional job of making recordings and can use the large type of radio' disk. -It can and probably will be used to record stage plays and radio programs. The new recorder will also be an aid to the visual education classes in that it can be used to prepare records of talking to synchronize with picture slides. • ' Montague To Tell Stories Of Mounties "Montague of the Mounties," Sydney R. Montague, will present his thrilling story of his six years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in the regular assembly next Friday, August 2. More than half of his time with the mounties was spent in Baffin-land, the largest police district in the world, under the shadow of the North Pole. He was one of ten men who were chosen for this lonesome northern patrol, from which only two men returned alive. The post was later abandoned because of the danger. During this experience, Montague discovered that the Eskimos were real people, and in his lecture shatters many theories about the Eskimos and the Canadian Mounted Police. Among the theories he discusses, is the one on the Mounted Police always getting their man. Montague says that if there is a man to get, they usually get him, but there are many more important things demanding attention. Canada, stretching from the United States to the north pole, is a vast country that must be policed and kept in order. William Matchan, baritone, will sing for the assembly next Tuesday, July 30. Mr. Matchan was presented in concert here before and was^ very well received. BOARD ABOLISHES COUNCIL Having only a lifetime of one year, the student and faculty Publications council was abolished subject to approval of the faculty by the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday.

MORE THAN 473,000 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS, colleges, ond universities throughout; the country were employed on NYA jobs in March, 1940. This means that one out of every seventeen of America's high school students and one out of every ten college and university students were earning federal funds on projects planned and supervised by local educational authorities. In evaluating the student work program there are many factors to be considered. In the first place, the work performed by the' students has not only enabled the educational system to operate more efficiently. It has.resulted in an invaluable contribution to the advancer ment of knowledge in many fields through the research assistance provided by the students. In the second place, the development of planned work programs, carefully integrated with the needs and interests of both students and schools, has helped to remove the cloistered atmosphere from general education by giving many students a practical Work experience. In the third place, the student work program gains significance from the fact that it is a new method of helping to realize the American goal of equal educational opportunities for all. Finally, because of these three factors, the funds which have been spent in assisting these hundreds of thousands of students must be regarded as an investment—an investment in our educational plant, an investment in productive research, an investment in many of our nation's future citizens and workers who are thereby much more adequately prepared to serve in a democracy and to contribute to its future prosperity and welfare. Regardless of who is elected in the coming fall election, may the NYA not be forgotten. It needs to live. Anyone.who thinks that women aren't becoming the stronger sex should have noted the marquees of the downtown theaters last week. All running at the same time were the following features: "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante," "Dr.' Christian Meets the Woman," "Cisco Kid and the Lady,' "Lone Wolf Meets the Lady," and ^Sailor's Lady." Ah, poor men! How Football Became Major Sport Thirty-seven years ago, a young man stood in front of a group of boys in' the old* house that once was across f r om Barton's hall. He was suggesting and urging the men of the college to form a football team. "Think of the honor, glamor, and the glory. Think of the fun. "Oh, come on, trays, what can we lose?" That man was L. A. Kibbe and his talk had not been futile. A committee was sent to see Dr. Matties, then president of WWC. He gave his consent provided the boys would not run the college into debt. Lawyer R. W. Greene, still in Bellingham, father of Helen Greene, former WWC s t u d e n t , was • made head coach. There were 37 boys in school against 300 girls, a ratio of 10 to 1. Nearly all the boys were out for practice. Mr. Kibbe wanted to play but the heavy load of studies prevented it. He did his part, however, and took up the duties of yell leader, ticket taker, and all-around general manager. The day of" the big game came. The opponents were the eleven of the New Whatcom high. In blue • and white cheering section sat only seven brave girls of the noble 300. Across the field in a frenzy of cheering sat a huge crowd of Whatcom backers. The hour was a disappointing one to Mr. Kibbe but he started to make the best of his small cheering section. Just then two huge fellows stepped up from out of nowhere. "What seems to be the trouble, Buddy?" Mr. Kibbe explained his predicament. One of the big fellows waved his ami to a crowd of similar-sized behemoths standing off to the left. Soon the blue and white cheering section was making more noise than the combined forces of the Whatcom high. The Hilltoppers came through, too, with a 6-5 victory. A touchdown counted only 5 points in those days. After the game, Mr. Kibbe asked a friend who his kind supporters had been. "Why don't you know? They're wrestlers. There's Prank Gotch and there's Farmer Burns. They wrestled for the championship of the world last night. All those other big fellows were here to watch the match." And that's how football became a major sport of WWC.

Towards the end of June, the Columbia University Press announced the results of its poll, conducted among the readers of the "The Pleasures of Publishing" (house organ of the Press), to select the books which any candidate for the American presidency should read and be familiar with above all others. There were 429 book titles named, and 95 of these titles were mentioned more than once. The first ten of those titles that were named most frequently are listed below. All of the books mentioned are in the library. 220-B47—The Bible. 813-St. 34—Steinbeck, John—The Grapes of Wrath.

FORMER INSTRUCTOR HERE FOR SHORT VISIT Professor Gebaroff of the John Marshal! junior high school in Seattle, and former WWC instructor, was a visitor of Franklin Shaver, school printer, last week. Mr. Gebaroff had charge of the industrial arts department at WWC twenty-five years ago. He was the first to introduce printing into the teacher curriculum in the state of Washington. At the present time he has charge of the printing department of the John Marshall school. One of the highlights of his visit was the meeting in the halls of two - of his former students of 25 years ago. The Teacher and the Public By President Haggard The parent-teacher association is a very important agency of school interpretation. The membership of this organization at present is approxi-* mately 1,750,000. Its possibilities for broad contacts are not comparable to the newspaper, but it does afford especially good opportunities for the teacher to establish relationships with parents without seeming to interfere with what some individuals call parental prerogatives. The parent-teacher associations not only provides the opportunities for desirable personal contacts with parents but occasions for other forms of interpretation. • In every- community disputes regarding school procedures arise from time to time. These disputes usually emerge from misunderstanding. As an example, complaints regarding the evoluation techniques come to the school. Can one think of an organization or an agency better suited to provide for a panel discussion of this problem than the parent-teacher association? Another example may be the financial needs of the school district. The parent-teacher assocation is the organization that should first consider this problem. If properly carried out, mutual consideration of problems usually means mutual understanding. No agency of school interpretation has more worthy objectives than the parent-teacher association. Among its stated objectives are better understanding of the aims of the school, the establishment of a closer relationship between the home and the school, and organization to help meet the needs of the school. Teachers should welcome the opportunity to participate in the parent-teacher association. If the parent-teacher association is a problem for the school, wise leadership in most cases is the solution. Dr. W. W. Haggard Interesting Facts Probably of interest and not known to most WWC students is the fact that four of the present college instructors were graduates of this institution. They are L. A. Kibbe, class of 1905; S. A. Carver ^ 1913; Miss Hazel Breakey, 1914; and Miss Georgia Gragg, 1919. Miss Bertha Crawford, former supervisor of the eighth grade in the training school, now retired, graduated from here in 1917. Miss Mae Meade, college nurse, although not a graduate, attended the training school. Mr. Carver and Miss Crawford are the only two who began teatching here immediately after graduation. Sam Carver was perhaps the first example of proselyting in the annals of WWC. Dr. Bond was the college coach at the time. "I needed a.forward," said Dr. Bond, "and down in the dust of the Bloedel Donovan mill I saw that forward. He was Sam Carver. Of course £ told him that a mill was no place for a young man. What he needed was an education and a future, but there really were not any philanthropic ideas jn my heart. What I wanted was a forward and I got him."

For instance: The distance of forward passes will be measured from the line of scrimmage to the point of completion. Kicking yardage will start from the line of scrimmage, to the point of dissention. However, if a punt goes over the goal line computation will stop at the goal line, that is, if the ball is kicked from the forty and lands behind the goal, the kick will be computed as a forty-yard boot. . . . Another item that they take into consideration is that only the actual number of first downs will be scored. If the ball is on the eight-yard line with first and goal to go and the yardage is made, no credit of a first down will be awarded. In other words, a team will have to travel a full ten yards in order to be credited with a first down. We think that this is a good scheme but until all the scribes, etc., catch on there will probably be some divergence. We wish to congratulate HOMER H. HEIN, the former Washington state college athlete, who recently signed as the head coach at St. Martin s college. Homer is well known to this locality having been reared in Bel-lingham and Burlington. He is the brother of Mel Hein, who has been all-league center with the New York Giants in professional football for the past seven seasons. Hein graduated, from WSC in 1933. He'was track coach at bongoiew from 1933 to 1935. From 1935 to 1937 he coached all sports at Darrington. For the past two years he has been recreation directorial: Berkeley, California. Hein succeeds the colorful, friendly, Joe Paglia who resigned to enter private business. Our palm is also extended to LEONARD H. YANDLE, former Conzaga university basketball player who will be head basketball coach and assist Hein in football and track. Yandle has coached at Spokane and Multnomah junior colleges. His home is in Oregon City. Interesting sidelights—This boy Erickson from Arlington who is now beginning to look like an old man still seems to have plenty on the ball. . . . He held the single men of the college to one hit in three innings of baseball the other night. . . . Over in the College Inn they're talking of a tournament that will set a new precedent in the annals of WWC. . . . I t may be necessary to call in Dr. Bond and several other prominent mathematicians to help Dr. Cederstrom figure out the handicaps. . . Russell Jackson has threateningly announced that he will try a comeback for his 75-yard individual medley record sometime in the coming Fall. . . . Howard Hardy recently usurped Jackson's title. . . . And may we say in closing, like Royal Brougham, we, too, feel that Al Hostak is making a mistake in trying for a comeback. . . Babe Risko used to say if his hands were right, he could knock over telephone poles, but they weren't. . . and where is the Babe now? NINETY ENJOY INDIAN SALMON BAKE Salmon baked Indian style by actual Indians was the treat provided 90 people by recreation headquarters Tuesday evening. Mrs. AnT drew Joe, of LaConner. Wash., cut the salmon in small pieces and putting it on thin ironwood sticks, baked it over alder coals. After the salmon-and-coffee-feast Martin Sampson, chairman of the council of LaConner reservation, spoke concerning old Indian beliefs, the general status of the Indian, and the work that has been done on the LaConner reservation for the Indians.
