A Front special report on the modernstudent /8-9 Pfueller runs record-setting debut race / i i TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERNWASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 16 Approved Western gets aWashPIRG . By Cheri Hoover Following a lengthy discussion, Western's Board of Trustees Thursdayauthorized the formation of a chapter of WashPIRG at Western by next fall. In doing so, the board also OK'd a controversial $2 refundable fee that will be tacked onto tuition fees at registration. DANNYKADDEN A "negative check-off" system will be used to gather funds for Western's WashPIRG chapter.That involves paying the fees at the time of registration. If students decide they don't want to pay the feeto support WashPIRG, however, a refund will be provided within two or three weeks after registration.Board member Irwin LeCocq said the $2 fee should be clearly identified as refundable and notmandatory for enrollment. Another board member, Craig Cole, dissented from the board's' decisioncalling the negative check-off method of gathering fees a"back door approach." "I've always supportedPIRGs, but I think everyone should be straight with the students. I think it's a back door way of gettingmoney." he said. Cole suggested a positive checkoff system, as currently is being used by theWashington Student Lobby. With positive check-off, a student makes a choice at the time of registration if they wish to pay the extra $1. WashPIRG representative Danny Kadden said WashPIRG wouldn'tsurvive with positive check-off because not enough funds would be raised. "We've looked into that(positive check-off). We've found it to be unworkable at Western," Kadden said. Trustee MarthaChoe said she felt comfortable with the proposal and the negative check-off system. "I would like to seeit (WashPIRG) try it. I would also like to see it scrutinized, but to let it stand or fall on its own merits." Kadden told the board that if at . any time a majority of the students at Western were not supporting the chapter and were requesting a refund of their $2 fee, the chapter would close automatically. At lastmonth's meeting, the board delayed action on the establishment of a WashPIRG chapter at Westernbecause LeCocq and Cole were absent. WashPI RG is a student-run and funded organization set up towork oh consumer and environmental issues. The fees are used for research and publishing costs. . and a divestiture proposal By Cheri Hoover Western's Board of Trustees Thursday unanimously adopted aslightly amended policy that forbids the investment of university funds in banks lending money toSouth Africa. Yvonne Ward, member of the Anti-Apartheid Action Coalition and Associated StudentsSecretary Treasurer, presented a written rationale to board members in February outlining reasons fordivestiture. . Since then, Ward has worked with Don Sturgill, controller, and Don Cole, vice president ofbusiness and financial affairs, to clarify the proposal, which prohibits university investments in banks that have "direct involvement" with the Republic of South Africa. The amended proposal redefines"direct involvement" to include "making loans or grants to a government, its agents or agencies orbusiness enterprises of a nation which violates human rights." A yearly review of university investmentswill be conducted, rather than quarterly reviews, as was suggested in the original proposal. But if a bank holding Western funds suddenly sent money to South Africa, this issue would be discussed at theearliest board meeting. Ward said only Rainier Bank, Trustees Gordon Sandison, (left) Craig Cole andIrwin LeCocq discuss a divestiture proposal at Thursday's board meeting. Peoples Bank, First InterstateBank, Seafirst and the Bank of California are large enough to lend money to South Africa's government, and therefore would be the only banks affected by the divestment policy. Currently, of the five banksmentioned, only Seafirst recently adopted a policy against lending to the South African government.None of the five banks currently has funds invested in South Africa. At last month's board meeting, thetrustees expressed concern about not getting the most finan-cial gains possible from investments. ButWard said so few banks are affected that the money easily can be made up elsewhere. "Studies haveshown that divestment doesn't negatively affect interest income for institutions," Ward said. Wardsaid adoption of the proposal is a positive step toward bringing attention to the South African issue andmaking an impact on South. African human rights violations. "It's real inspiring to see that the trusteesare sensitive to social issues and student concerns," Ward said. Supporters of the divestiture planbased their proposal on a measure passed by The Evergreen State College on Jan. 9. Elliott honored as top store manager By Don Yates Bookstore manager George Elliott has been picked as one of thenation's outstanding college store managers by the National Association of College Stores. Elliott saidhe was chosen because of the bookstore's consistent sales improvement and his involvement inindustry activities. Approximately 2,600 college stores are in the association and five managers werechosen for the award, Elliott said. "I was shocked when I found out," he said. "It's the highlight of mycareer." Elliott praised his staff for their performance. "Any manager has to have the staffing to allow him to do the things he has to do. They deserve the award as much as I do," he said. Elliott has been inthe bookstore business for 17 years, beginning as Western's assistant manager in 1968 and becominggeneral manager in 1971. GEORGE ELLIOTT "The operation was basically bankrupt when 1 tookover. There were no discounts and we were, in fact, adding to the cost of the merchandise," hecommented. "We now have the largest dis- â€¢ see ELLIOTT, p. 2 ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 Elliott receives award â€¢ ELLIOTT, from p. 1 countin the nation,"headded. The bookstore's current discount rate is 11 percent. Even with increasing salesand an increasing discount rate, Elliott isn't content. Elliott would like a completely new bookstore, "notjust remodeled," that would be able to offer new services to students. Among the new services Elliottwould like to add are an extension of copy-duplicating and binding services and a vastly expandedcomputer department. "We.just got into computer sales the first of October. Sales have exceeded myexpectations by far," he said. The bookstore offers a 25 percent discount on its computer goods.Elliott also would like to add outdoor equipment, shoes and an expanded gift section to the store'smerchandise, he said. Elliott likes his job at Western and doesn't plan to leave it. "I've been offered other positions and haven't accepted them, " he explained. "I'm very happy at Western."

Mel Davidson, Western's computercenter director, said he feels pretty confident that young hackers at Western have a great deal ofdifficulty getting into the computer that holds their grades. Davidson said the mainframe administrativecomputer in which grades are stored, called IVORY, has a security system that is nearly impossible tobreak. Two computers, the VAX 1 and VAX II, have "dial-up ports," that is, someone using a telephonemodem could call the computer and use it from their home computer. But IVORY doesn't have a dial-up port. In fact, the terminals used for IVORY are "hard-wired" directly to the computer. They are directly connected and no one else can get onto the line. Some terminals are hooked into a MICOM box, a boxthat allows a user to have access to one of the many mainframes on campus. "At the moment, noadministrative offices that have terminals for administrative work are connected to either the MICOMswitch box or to modems for use with dial-up ports," Davidson said. "We've done that deliberately tominimize the opportunity for people breaking into the systems." Davidson said the responsibility forsecurity resides with the offices that have the terminals. "Clearly if somebody could get into the officeand use the terminals, then the security is broken," Davidson said. "But to protect' against that weshut down the lines to offices after hours. So after 5 p.m., even if somebody could break into an office,the terminal would be dead." Davidson said that as far as he knows, no incidents of changing gradeshave occurred, but he isn't getting too cocky about that record. "No system is 100 percent secure.Anytime you think a system is 100 percent secure, you're kidding yourself," he said. "We've got to beconstantly on the lookout." Where the' administrative computers are nearly impossible to break into,the academic computers, the VAXs, are not. "We've had problems with student programmersgetting onto the system and disrupting the files of other people," Davidson said. He related a case acouple of years ago when someone tried to sabotage one of the VAX systems by leaving a "TrojanHorse" program. "That's a program where when you try to go about your normal business, you activatetheir program that they've left behind, which causes that program to either destroy your files or bringthe system down," Davidson said. The attempt failed, though, because the computer has a securitymeasure that blocks that from happening. They then went about closing the loophole in the securitysystem through which the hacker had entered. "With an active student body and a very good computerscience program...it's not very easy to stay ahead of them," Davidson said. If the computer centercatches someone trying to gain extra privileges on VAX, they'll punish them by throwing them off thesystem. This can ruin them academically. "If we prohibit somebody from using the computer system fora couple of quarters, they're effectively shut out of the computer science program," Davidson said.This kind of threat, Davidson said, tends to keep most people from causing that sort of damage. UpwardBound's future questionable By Lori Mayfield While many education programs will be affected ifPresident Reagan's budget â€¢ proposal is passed, the nation's Upward Bound programs are in dangerof-some big losses. Reagan's proposal asks that 200 of the existing 422 Upward Bound' programs beeliminated. The universities sponsoring the remaining programs will be required to provide matchinggrants of 20 percent of the program's annual budget, said Bernie Thomas, director of Western's UpwardBound program. Western's program is one of the six original Upward Bound programs in the nation. Ithas helped more than 1,500 economically disadvantaged students through their last years of highschool and into college. The program works with high school counselors to help juniors and seniorsimprove their academic standing so that they may get into a higher learning institution. Thomas, whorecently moved into the director position, will be going to several higher education conferences nextweek in Washington D.C. While he is there, Thomas will meet with the Washington statecongressional delegation to discuss what effect the funding cuts will have on his program as well asothers, he said. Just exactly which programs will be sacrificed won't be determined until the proposalis made into law; but Thomas doesn't want any program to be-cut, he said. Thomas is asking those who are interested to write their congressmen. He suggests residents of Whatcom County contact Rep.Al Swift.

Missing library materialsexplained By Tom Yearian Anyone who has done periodical research at Wilson Library has probablyexperienced the irritation of discovering the library does not have a needed journal or magazine. Thelibrary has quit subscribing to it, never subscribed to it or, what is probably most frustrating, the librarysubscribes to it, but the exact issue that one needs has mysteriously disappeared. Whatever thereason, the fact that it's not there can bungle the best research strategy. The problem is one the library's staff is aware of but only partly able to remedy. "We'll never be able to provide everything everyonewould ever want," Acquisitions Librarian Donna Packer said. "It's a universal difficulty," she added."Even the library at the University of Washington can't meet everyone's demands. Even Harvard getscomplaints." The problem has numerous roots. Most directly, it's a result of the modern informationboom, which spawns hundreds of new publications every year, Packer said. "There has been anexplosion of journals over the last 20 years and the library just can't afford to buy all of them,"saidRichard Thompson, chairman of the psychology department. More than 1,000 different titles areabstracted annually in psychology alone, Thompson said. Subscription costs also contribute to theproblem. Prices vary from publication to publication, and from field to field, but many of the moretechnical journals cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. One journal, the Handbuch der organischen Chemie, "the grand-daddy of them all-," tops the price list at $9,342, Packer said. WilsonLibrary currently subscribes to 5,951 publications. The total cost: $593,000. One way the library holds down the serials budget is by making purchases from foreign vendors. Packer said the strong American dollar has meant more and more of their subscriptions to foreign journals have been placed withoverseas suppliers. Another reason for buying from foreign sources is to avoid the extra expense ofthe state sales tax, Packer said. Although the university is a state tax-supported institution, thelibrary still must pay the 7.8 percent tax on all domestic purchases. But purchases invoiced outside thecountry are exempt from the tax, she said. Library Director Diane Parker said if the library's periodicalcollection has shortcomings, the problem is partly historical. "It's important for people to realize thatWestern is a new university," she said. Prior to the 1960s, it was primarily a teacher's college and didnot need the range of resources necessary to a university, she added. Although the library wentthrough an intense period of collection building in the 70s, Parker said filling the gaps from earlieryears has been difficult and not always successful. That becomes obvious, she said, whenever you tryto do research using sources prior to the '60s. "You're going to get frustrated because some of theissues you want just aren't going to be there," she said. Another likely reason an issue is not there isthat it has been stolen. Packer said the library has a three-inch list of missing issues which are replaced whenever a substitute can be found. But finding a substitute takes time and it usually costs more thanthe original. Also, funds for purchasing replacements must come from the regular book budget, whichis already spread thinly, she said. Furthermore, the high rates of inflation in recent years wereespecially bad in the publishing industry. Packer said the library's budget has kept up with thegeneral rate of inflation, but has been overrun by the climbing costs of books and periodicals.Between 1975 and 1981, the con- DIANE PARKER sumer price index rose 61.5 percent, she said.But during the same period, the cost of domestic and foreign journals rose 85 and 120 percentrespectively. The inflation of journal prices became so extreme in the late 70s that steps had to be taken "to prevent the serials budget form gobbling up the entire library budget," Packer said. Eachdepartment was given a list of publications related to its discipline and asked to recommend titles to becut, she said. Roland DeLorme, of the history department said that on several occasions in the 70s thenumber of historyjournals had to be reduced. "It was a really painful thing to have to do," DeLorme said.It also will be more costly in the long run, he said, since the library "will have to go back and pick upmicrofilm copies of journals or find bound copies" in order to fill the gaps. * + \ Â£ % / Order any 16"pizza with 2 or more toppings. ^9/Get $2.00 off and 2 Free 16 oz. bottles of CokeÂ® Parker said the cuts were not unique to Western, but were faced by college libraries all over the country. The cuts atWestern were not as severe, however. Parker said the Wilson Library staff wisely decided "to keepeverything as lean as possible in order to continue acquisitions." While this policy has meant shorterhours, a smaller staff and few of the technological luxuries available at some other collegelibraries,.Western's book and periodical collections were not sacrificed. As a result, Western has thestrongest collection of all the state's regional universities, Parker said. One indication the library'speriodical collection is meeting student and faculty needs is the findings of a recent review of inter-library loan requests at Western. Parker said the most any one journal title was requested was- six times infour years, which is far below the five requests per year maximum recommended by the interlibrary loancode. Parker said the findings aren't conclusive, however. Students and professors may be makingoccasional trips to libraries at the UW or the University of British Columbia to do research orsubscribing to their own copies of journals. "That's something we need to hear about," she said,especially if it reflects more than an individual need. The library's inability to subscribe to everything is largely offset through the interlibrary loan service, which makes weekly trips to the UW, and bymaintaining a strong reference section. Packer said the current reference tools at Wilson Library areon par with the collections of any major university and are sufficient for all but the most specializedresearch. "You can find out what you need to get even if we don't have it," she said. iiiiii ii By JohnPowers S;;;?;Mter;;t^ ^esterh'sfj^ufn^ departments ;^ ;\ygys!!andfl:the3 ;depai;tment;#ii^WS^m^Bgia^gÂ§Â§gim HOW ABOUT A FREE FILLING ?

"A very large proportion of the U.S. government'sbudget goes to serve the needs of the middle class," Edward Kaplan of the history department began."What Social Security and Medicare do is render more affluent the great majority of Americans that areabove the poverty level, leaving relatively little money left to help those who are in need through no faultof their own." Kaplan described as an "imminently rational approach" to this problem the use of 14percent of one's income to invest in Individual Retirement Accounts to provide for one's own retirement,rather than letting the government pay one with pensions. He then suggested the elimination of the PellGrant, a need-based federal grant, and federally subsidized loans to students, to ease the huge drainput on the federal budget by public education. These things, Kaplan said, would allow for better care forthe nation's hungry. "Here's the military part of the budget, right here," John McClendon of FairhavenCollege rebutted with his hand above his head to demonstrate the height of military spending. "You cansee where the spending cuts have to come from," he continued. "Not from student aid. You want to feedpeople, put your priorities in place. Arms don't feed anybody," he said. "The problem with world hunger is that we keep treating it as if it's an agricultural problem. World hunger, and hunger in the United States,can be seen as part of the same statement. World hunger is an economic and political problem,"McClendon said. "There's only one way in which people can feed themselves, and that is if they havesome way of controlling production. There's only one ways, really, to change the situation for worldhunger, and that's to create some sort of land reform (changing of the way in which the land is used)," heexplained. McClendon went on to say that usually such land reform is brought about through revolution.Kaplan replied to this solution by saying "Professor McClendon is prescribing for the rest of theunderdeveloped world the horrible, killing medicine that China nearly expired under (under ChairmanMao Tse-Tung). "Professor McClendon assures me that I would really be better off if we were run theway Chairman Mao was running China'dur-ing the great proletariat cultural revolution, and intellectualslike me ought to be rusticated. Perhaps I ought to be sent down to Sedro Woolley to pick thestrawberry crop." "It's a good idea, Ed, yes" McClendon interjected enthusiastically. Kaplan argued that30 million people remain unaccounted for in China from 1959 to 1962; probably they were victims of death due to malnutrition or malnutrition-induced disease, he said. He said these deaths occurred in theaftermath of the "Great Leap Forward," Chairman Mao's version of McClendon's kind of revolutionaryagricultural reform. McClendon's reply was that he d-idn't advocate revolution, but it was often the only way to carry out essential land reforms. "If we re-allocated much of the military funding in the UnitedStates today, we could be working to create a land reform in the world that wouldn't require any kind ofrevolution," he said. The third panel member, Maurice Foisy of the political science department, whoarrived late, then voiced his opinion. "I guess the thing that disturbs me the most is the extent to which Isee power determining (redistribution and land reform), and power oriented by ideological perspective,"he said. "The short-run consequence...of policy intervention and the use of United States and other freeworld powers is starvation. If we're going to do anything, I think the policies we enact in support of ourgovernment should be behind providing things that people themselves need. I think the United Statescould afford to give a great deal more foreign aid than it does," he said. All of the panel members favoredaid to Ethiopia. "I think we ought to supply aid to Ethiopia as much as possible," said McClendon."Don't fund the MX missile and send that money to Ethiopia." Hunger, rebellions old news in Ethiopia By Vaughn Cocke PAUL LeROY KEN GIBSON Ethiopia mayappear to be politically confused andeconomically desperate, but its current troubles are nothing out of the ordinary. So said Paul LeRoy,outspoken Central Washington University historian and local expert on Ethiopia. LeRoy told a smallaudience in the Library Presentation Room Thursday night that Ethiopia has been characterized bypolitical, religious, linguistic and cultural diversity for hundreds of years. He said although the country'scurrent leader, Mengistu Haile Mariam, has different policies than his predessor, Haile Selassie, the end result is similarâ€”the standard of living for the masses is low, while those in power live in luxury."Mengistu has become Haile Selassie but without the flair and pageantry," LeRoy said. He described the U.S.-educated Ethiopian soldier as an ideologue and nationalist who opposes religion and despisesAmerica. And although Ethiopia now has an alliance with the Soviet Union, LeRoy said Mengistu^ won'thesitate to dissolve it in favor of something he likes more. "He's a very cunning and ruthless person,"he said. Mengistu was the beneficiary of the military coup in 1974 that deposed Selassie, who hadruled Ethiopia since 1930. LeRoy said Selassie resided in a magnificent palace, which was larger thanthe parliament buildings, while ordinary people owned nothing and paid taxes of 75 to 80 percent oftheir earnings. ^ Although the emperor refused to give the masses a voice in government, he promotededucation, and that, LeRoy said, contributed to his downfall. The Ethiopian people learned, and theybegan to criticize their leader. Then, when Selassie tried unsuccessfully to cover up the famine of theearly 1970s, the rebellion began, LeRoy said. The senile 84- year-old emperor was deposed by themilitary, and Mengistu took over. LeRoy said no offical word was released about the fate of the formeremperor but added he suspects the old man was executed. It's ironic, LeRoy said, that a famineresulting in 300,000 deaths helped bring down Selassie, while today's drought- has caused millions ofdeaths without seriously affecting Mengistu's ruling ability. He credited Mengistu with performing abetter cover-up. But the current leader is not without opposition, LeRoy said. Rebel groups have tried toassassinate him and are inhibiting the distribution of food and the planting of crops. "How can you plantcrops if you're being shot at?" he asked. Another problem with distribution, he added, is the ruggedterrain and the fact that 80 to 85 percent of Ethiopians would have to walk for more than a day just toreach a paved road. Whether the famine ends or not, LeRoy said he expects Mengistu to meet the same fate as his predecessor. He said the middle-aged leader "won't make it to 84," Haile Selassie's agewhen he was overthrown. LeRoy said he has visited Ethiopia four times, the most recent in 1974 whenthe revolution began. But despite the political turbulence of that time, he insisted his life was not indanger. "I felt much more safe in Ethiopia than 1 would in New York," he said. Bellingham employers tobe wooed by billboards By Michael Smith Western's Student Employment Center has been working forthe past year to add a touch of Madison Avenue to the center's efforts. The result of job developer Fred Ondeck's work is billboard advertising that reminds Bellingham employers that Western is the bestemployment pool in the city. "So many people really don't know or think of us when they are looking forworkers," Ondeck said. "This is one way of getting the message across." The only cost of the projectwill be $900 for paper and for having the prints put in place. This will be paid out of a $3,500 grant fromthe State Council for Postsecondary Education, Ondeck said. The 3M National Advertising Companyhas given Western free space for six billboard advertisements. Graphic art students from Western didthe work on the prints, he said. Two of the advertisements are in place now â€” one at Cornwall Avenueand Halleck Street and one at James and Carolina streets. Ondeck said he hoped the advertisementswould be placed at different locations, two at a time, throughout 1985. The Student EmploymentCenter has increased the number of its job listings every year since 1981. But because most of thejobs are temporary and part-time (what Ondeck calls survival jobs), more listings are always needed, hesaid. And "a good return," he said, "is expected on the investment in advertising. "You can see bylooking at the wages a student would get and the effect on financial aid, that even if only five or sixstudents secured jobs because of the billboards it would more than cover the $900 cost," he said. Ofcourse, many more than five or six jobs are expected as a result of the advertising, Ondeck said. Theemployment center has advertised before in business magazines, through direct mailings, through hisown contacts and now on billboards, he said. For the future, advertising on radio and in newspapers isbeing considered, Ondeck said. "We want employers to know Western is the best human resource intown," he said. dM*feOu Dâ‚¬Li 733-4369 'On the Southside" New tV TAKE-N-BAKE PIZZA $1.00 OFF Custom made every day! from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. One Toppings: Lg. $5.79, Med. $3.89, Sm. $2.79, or bythe slice 800 Expires 3-15-85 â€¢1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I S p,(uiaiU Free cup of coffee witha cookie purchase.

Randall had only two losing seasons in his 18 years as coach atWestern, finishing with 274 wins to 183 lossesâ€”best in the school's his- IH'BI.IC INFORMATIONOFFICE CHUCK RANDALL tory. In- addition, Randall was named Coach of the Year eighttimesâ€”three in the district, four in the Evergreen Conference and once in the NAIA Area I. Randallcoached the Western team to a District I title and four Evergreen Conference championships. Hedirected the 1971-72 season team to the quarterfinals at the NAIA Naional Tournament in KansasCity, Mo. Randall, 58, is the fourth person, and the only basketball coach, in Western's historytoreceive the honor. He is the third basketball coach in Washington state ever to receive the award; Theother recipients are Leo Nicholson of Central Washington University, and Marv Harshman, who wasnamed for his accomplishments at Pacific Lutheran University, but who retired this season fromcoaching at the University of Washington. "It's a pretty big honor...and in good company," Randallsaid, adding that it came as a surprise to him. He said he credits his focus on one single sport for hissuccess as a basketball coach. "When I was a young high school student, I knew I wanted to be acoach, and I liked basketball, baseball and football. I thought, 'if I'm going to excel in sports, I shouldprobably point to one sport and just really go for that one rather than trying to*be good (at all of them).'that was probably my biggest help." In addition to superior coaching skills, Randall made several off-the- court contributions to basketball. BRIEFLY Extra Protein Added to Your Meal.

Dogs on Campus.Students who "go Greyhound" at the end of each quarter will be able to catch a bus home right oncampus if an experiment next week is a success. Greyhound next Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will offer a 2 p.m. non-stop bus to Seattle from the Viking Union, Greyhound Agent Ron Caldwell said Friday. The $8.80 one-way tickets still must be purchased at the bus station downtown, Caldwell said,but riders will be issued a special boarding pass allowing them to catch the bus on campus. Thecampus stops, if they "generate enough interest" among students, in the future may occur at the end ofevery finals week, Caldwell said. Don't Look, Ethel. Several residents of Birnam Wood called campussecurity March 3 to report the appearance of a man with a chronic lack of modesty. The residents toldcampus police the man was standing before an open window, wearing only a smile, exposing himself to passersby. The suspect was contacted, advised of public indecency laws and warned of possible arrest if the incident were tore-occur. He founded the first summer basketball camp west of the MississippiRiver, Conifer Camp on Snoqualmie Pass. "I'd already had basketball players practice in the summer,and I felt like the kids enjoyed it. It was fun, and also it helped us get better," he said. Randall said he'dheard about such camps back East, and after studying them decided to start one here. "At one time,(Conifer) was the biggest in the world," he said. In addition, Randall invented the Slam-Dunk BasketballRim, a rim that snaps down rather than breaks off when pressured during a slam dunk. It now is usedthroughout the country. Randall said the idea came about as a solution to the constant hassle of re-shaping rims bent by players. "I went over to the technology department with several ideas, andbetween them and myself, we worked out... an idea that, really, is the best one going today." "There arefive different companies that have five different kinds (of rims), but I think ours is the most successfulyet," he said. Randall, who came to Western in 1962 following a 13-year career of coaching high schooland grade school level basketball, suffered a serious heart attack in 1975. He continued coaching for four years after sitting out the 1975-76 season, but said it wasn't quite the same. "I never really got theswing of things after my heart attack; it was just too much of an uphill battle," he said. He remainsactive at Western, however, by teaching one quarter a year for the physical education department, aswell as directing, through the foreign study office, baseball and basketball programs in Morelia, Mexico."That has really been a successful program, I think, and it's fun for the kids to go...academically, it'sgood," he said. "I try to recruit the kids and foreign studies coordinates, although I do a littlecoordinating, too," Randall added. Randall was graduated form Central Valley High School in Veradale,Wash, and went on to earn two degrees in physical education. He completed a bachelor's degree atEastern Washington University, and master's at Washington State University. In addition to coachingbasketball, Randall coached Western's baseball team for four years, taking it to fifth place in theNAIA National Tournament in 1965, and eighth in 1964. He said he doesn't have any definite plans forthefuture, but conceded that basketball "sneaks into it (life) now and then." "I'd say that undoubtedlyI'll have something to do with basketball," he said. Randall looks back on his years at Western fondly. "This is where I've put my life. This is itâ€”Western. I had great years; I enjoyed it. I had a lot of greatplayers, and some good seasons. I think it's been very worthwhile," he said.

Some educators doubt they even exist. Butlearning disabilities do exist and affect almost 5 percent of the university population. And many who have a learning disability don't even realize they have one. Dorothy Crow, learning disabilities coordinator,estimates 300 to 400 Western students are going through school fighting a disability they don't evenknow they have. These people are dealing with confusion, frustration and low self-esteem because theyhave difficulties learning. Most don't know that some famous people have battled the same problemsand won. Thomas Edison was considered mentally retarded. He withdrew from school at 8-years-old and was tutored by his mother. He spoke in short, simple sentences all of his life. Hans Christian Anderson went through nine tutors trying to learn to read and write. He was considered to be illiterate. Hishandwriting was illegible and his spelling very poor. Some other individuals who had learningdisabilities were George Patton, Winston Churchhill and Woodrow Wilson. People with learningdisabilities have average to high intelligence levels, but have some kind of motor or sensory dysfunction. Dyslexia most often is used to describe the learning disability, however, Crow said dyslexia hasmany forms. A learning disability can be an audio-perceptual problem in which a person's brain mixesup things he hears. A visual perceptual problem is when a person's brain reverses words and numbers while reading. A motor perceptual problem is when a person thinks clearly, but has problems puttingthose thoughts in writing. Shari Wartenbee, a junior interior design major, realized she might have alearning disability when she was studying them in a psychology class. As the symptoms weredescribed, "too many things clicked," she said. Wartenbee also had an English professor who had some knowledge edge of dyslexia. He asked to see her notes a few times, but she always self-consciouslyrefused. Finally he talked her into letting him look at them, and he saw definite patterns of dyslexia inher writing. "I don't let anyone see my notes. You see, confidence is a big thing. And my notes were sobad, I was embarrassed to show them," Wartenbee explained with a nervous smile. After studyingsome material on dyslexia, Wartenbee went to a friend in the psychology department and asked himto get her a dyslexia test. "He said, 'Shari, 1 know you don't have dyslexia. I can tell.' But I kept trying,so he finally agreed to order the test. I told him to get the test and I'd take it just to satisfy my owncuriosity," she said. The results of the test were positive and Wartenbee said, "It was such a relief.There were reasons for things. I wasn't just dumb. Everything made more sense now." She hasproblems in reading.and has to read material several times before she can understand it. The learningdisabilities program has her textbooks taped so she can listen to them instead of reading them herself.Writing also is a problem for Wartenbee. She's always had written assignments checked three or fourtimes for mistakes. "My Mom always helped me out a lot. She would read over my stuff. Before sheknew I had EARN OVER $1,000 A MONTH.

Once she found out, it was a bigrelief for her. You see, my Dad had dyslexia too. It explained a lot for her," she said. "My Dad died when 1 was young. I wish he could have known he was dyslexic. I wish he could have understood.Sometimes you feel so inadequate. It's comforting to know there is an explanation," Wartenbeeexplained. Her grandfather also had dyslexia. Crow said 80 percent of Western's learning disabledhave family members with learning disabilities. It is a hereditary trait. Wartenbee said memory plays abig part in her academic success. She can memorize very well. Her friends also help her quite a bit. She often asks them to go over things while studying together. Wartenbee said she seldom uses theservices Dorothy Crow provides, such as alternative testing. She is reluctant to tell her instructorsabout her disability. "I don't want them to think I'm trying to take the easy way out," she explained. "The important thing is the option to use those things is there for me. If I want to use them., they don't giveme any hassles," she said. EarJ Yeckley also suffers from a learning disability. Although he has a highI.Q., Yeckley has a ninth-grade spelling ability. And despite the fact tests didn't prove it, he also thinkshe has number dyslexia, he said. "One day my wife and I were watching a baseball game on TV. I wasreading some batting averages off to her and was reversing the numbers. "Just out of curiosity, I wentthrough some old math tests.

"It's not that 1 can't dothe math work. I just take a little longer. 1 have to check the answers more than once." Because of hisexpertise with computers, he uses them to battle his disability. He uses a word processor for writingassignments. Yeckley said some professors don't acknowledge that learning disabilities exist. "I tookMath 205 three times and still ended up with a 'D\ The first time I took the class, I didn't know about mydyslexia. 1 would make one mistake and the whole problem would be gone. "The other two times theprofessors tried to cut me some slack and give me a chance. It's still a matter that 1 don't think theyunderstood the problem," Yeckley explained. "After you find out, you sav 'Hey, I'm not a dummy afterall," " he added. Yeckley said his grade point average is moving up now that he is aware of the problem. It doesn't happen all of the time, but when it does he can adjust for it. He usually gets more time totake tests. Tests that require writing, he can take on the word processor in the Tutorial Center, hesaid. Both Yeckley and Wartenbee mentioned being forced to be right-handed, although they naturally were left-handed. While neither think this caused the disability, both agree it made overcoming itmore difficult. Crow said while more lefthanders have learning disabilities than right-handers, anycorrelation is purely speculation at this time. Crow's office is located in the Tutorial Center in Old Main 380. ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 7 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 7 CCF: a commitment for Christians By ShelleyNicholl It's 7:30 Friday night and Arntzen Hall 100 is filling with the sound of gospel music and melodicvoices. In the foyer and on the stairs, students greet each other warmly. Some hug each other. On theplatform at the front of the room, an ensemble of guitars, a flute, a trumpet and an electric pianoleads the singers. â€¢ The singing gets louder and some people start clapping as they move to theirchairs. Campus Christian Fellowship's friday meeting has begun. CCF is a place where Christians ofdifferent denominations can get together with their peers and sing, worship and learn about the Bible,CCF minister Brady Bob-bink said. Of the six founders of the campus group, Bobbink is the only onestill at Western. "We were looking for a place of community, a place to share and to actively work tochange things," Bobbink said of their reasons for forming in 1972. At that time, just after the VietnamWar, Western's "campus was riddled with Eastern mysticism," Bobbink said. Bobbink was a liberalarts student and heard a great deal about Buddhism, but found Western had no groups for evangelisticChristians. So he and other students formed a "support group," which soon became CCF. The Fridaynight Fellowship meetings "started spontaneously" Bobbink said. Attendance at the first evening wassmall. But the next week "the.re was about 30 of us," Bobbink recalled. "We were looking for a place ofcommunity, a place to share and to actively work to change things." â€”Brady Bobbink Now, CCFmeetings have between 350 and 450 people attending. The singing stops at the request for a moment ofprayer, and abruptly the room sounds as if no one is there. People's eyelids are squeezed tightly shutand their arms wrap around their neighbor's shoulder. Then, Bobbink, casually dressed in a sweater,jeans and tennis shoes, addresses the crowd. The casual atmosphere is not an accident. "It'spurposely informal," Bobbink explained. "It's not designed to be a local church." The meeting is two hours long so students have time to feel relaxed and not rushed, Bobbink said. After his first CCF meetingDon Tod-hunter, 19, said he preferred the group over church. "It's a nicer atmosphere. You're with peoplethe same age. You have more in common." But the first impression of a Friday meeting may not becomfortable for everyone. Scott Snyder, 23, who has been going to CCF for four-and-a-half years, said he felt uncomfortable at his first meeting because he wasn't used to the atmosphere. "I was overwhelmedat first," he said. "It was a more open style than I was used to." â€¢' But, he added, "I met a lot ofChristians the first dayâ€”that were sincere, that I hadn't seen before." ANDY PERDUE Jill Thompsonand Blayne McAferty are two of several CCF members who take turns playing guitar and leading "morning singing." The familiar songs start again to the soft crooning of the guitars. Gradually, the singing getslouder and more intense. Some people stand up, their hands reaching toward the ceiling, palmsupward, their eyes are closed and earnest voices come from their smiling mouths to fill the room with awarm, full sound. One woman stands with her hands clasped under her chin and sways slightly to themusic. At the Friday meeting, most people seemed to enjoy the service, but CCF is not for everyChristian. A senior, Cathy (not her real name â€” she asked not to be identified), went to CCF in herfreshman year, but said she didn't want to go back. "I was overwhelmed at first. It was a more openstyle than I was used to." â€”Scott Snyder "1 took it too seriously," she said. "I thought if the wholeworld wasn't good, I could change it." At CCF, she said, "you get close to people and open yourinsides out." After leaving, she came to realize "you can solve things by yourself. You don't have toopen up." , She said her life now is more realistic. "Now I'm stronger and my world is rounder," sheadded. She was "never raised going to church," but in high school she belonged to the youth group"Young Life." Coming to Western from a small town, she didn't know many people when she arrived."The first group I met were involved with CCF," she said, and she soon became involved herself. But, sheadded, "It really wasn't like me to get involved." She said CCF was like a "security blanket" for her andshe realized later that was not the right reason to go. When she went home for the summer following her freshman year, her family was worried because her beliefs had become so strong. This was when shediscovered she was using CCF as a shelter. She never went back to CCF. Bobbink begins to wind downhis animated hour-long sermon. " We whine and squirm about meaningless things, " he said. After a pause, he continued softly, "Are we really open to the power of the spirit?" Pause. "Are we reallydevoted to Jesus Christ?" Later, he added, "There's no better place to go than to refresh ourselves withworship." . Although Bobbink said he hadn't heard the tag recently, he is aware of CCF being called acult. But, he said, "It's a naive layman's use of the word." In cults, he said, people are subject to mindcontrol, economic control, parent-child separation and a strong authority figure. "You just won't find thatat the Fellowship," he said. Snyder believed some people may call CCF a cult because "they see a lot of commitment. You don't see a lot of commitment in society. People get concerned when theremight be a commitment." Cathy said, "I wouldn't call it a cult, but maybe for some it would be. It depends on how a person takes it." Bobbink said, "Some people may say that loyalty to the Seahawks may becultish." Most students in CCF are very serious and committed, he explained. "The Christian community has discipline by nature," he said. ANDY PERDUE Every weekday morning at 8:50, members of CCFand other campus fellowships gather to sing at Fisher Fountain. He said the commitment from students is a combination of what is expected of them and what they want to do. Usually about four to five hoursper week is the minimum time commitment. This may include Friday night meetings, Bible studygroups during the week, called core groups, Christian classes and involvement in various socialissues. Bobbink said working for social justice is an integral part of CCF. The group is involved withworking with the elderly, with food and clothing drives to help the Lighthouse Mission and also with thecampus group Students for Life, which protests abortion. If the.time commitment seems large, Bobbinksaid it's because CCF requires consistency and loyalty. "There's an expectation if you choose tobecome involved." After Bobbink s sermon, the singing starts again, more intense than before. Nearlyeveryone is standing. The music stops for a moment and a few members of the group stand up at random and "share" their feelings in prayer. Some people hum in agreement while others whisper "Praise you,Lord" and "Thank you, God." Next, everyone moves into a group of three or four to "share" his or herfeelings or problems encountered during the week. Although the room is noisy, no one seems to noticeanyone outside the group. Many groups form a close bond by knitting their arms together. As the musicresumes, the groups break up. This time most people have their hands raised and eyes closed and aresmiling as they sing the words from memory. The music stops againâ€”// is time for theannouncements. Someone on the stage asks if anyone is interested in going on "kegger ministry" thatevening. The blond-haired and bearded Bobbink chuckled when he described the "kegger missionaries." They started about five or six years ago, he said. Several of the people in CCF had non-Christian friendswho went to keg parties. The members of the Fellowship wanted to interact with them and share whatthey knew, Bobbink explained. "There's some hurting, lonely people," he said, later adding, "It's thenature of the Christian faith to make itself known." But Cathy wasn't enthusiastic about the keggermissionaries. "Some people go to parties to have a good time. They're not using alcohol as a crutch.You really need to see if they're hiding from reality. You can't say it's wrong when they feel right," shesaid. "I wouldn't call it a cult, but maybe for some it would be. It depends on how a person takes it."â€”Cathy But parties aren't the only parameters of CCF's missionary work. Bobbink said "the greatestneeds are overseas." Students are encouraged to do missionary work abroad and CCF has a programthat allows students to work in a foreign field for 8 to 10 weeks. Bobbink also hopes that manystudents can use their degrees "to serve the needy." Snyder, who is a history education major, saidhe would like to start a Fellowship on another college campus or go overseas. After being a coreleader for four years, he said, "I'm very interested in leadership. I love it."

Even though she prefers not to go to CCFanymore; she said she still has faith in God and doesn't regret going. "What it comes down to," Cathysaid, "is I'm not negative on CCF, it's just not for me."

Many modern students,faced with a demanding economy and tight job market, say liberal arts classes impede their scheduledtraining for specialized occupations. That shift in attitude has created a crisis among universityadministrators and instructors, many of whom are seeking a new definition of the term "education " atthe college level. L. Lee Knefelkamp, an associate professor at the University of Maryland, last monthconducted administrative and faculty workshops on the shifting role of higher education. Using herpaper, "Faculty and Student Development in the 80s: Renewing the Community of Scholars," as astarting point,Front reporter Stanley Holmes began a three-week study of student, faculty andadministrative thoughts on the role of higher education. Following is his report. By Stanley HolmesStudents today are more likely to attend college to improve their standard of living rather than seekknowledge of themselves or of the world, and higher education seems to support this change, say someprofessors and students at Western. A 1983 survey conducted by the American Council on Educationand the University of California at Los Angeles found student interest among students in "being very well-off financially" at an all-time high. The survey also said 69.3 percent of students asked wanted to be"well-off financially" as opposed to 43.5 percent in 1967. At the same time, student interest in developinga meaningful philosophy of life" reached an all-time low, it stated. Only 44.1 percent expressed interest in a "philosophy of life" in 1983, as opposed to 82.9 percent in 1967. â€¢ Western students whoparticipated in the same survey in 1983 did not necessarily agree with national averages.lt found 42.0of Western students asked wanted "to be well-off. financially." This was a drop from 1981 when 56.9percent answered the same question. In terms of developing a "meaningful philosophy of life," 60.4percent in 1983 said it was important. A substantial increase from 1981, where only 49.2 percent felt itwas valuable, the survey stated. Joan Sherwood, Western's vice president of student she met were notinterested in discussing world issues. "I did not find students on a whole very interested in ideas," shesaid. "Especially when I lived in the Ridgeway dorms, later when I was a junior I met friends willing todiscuss issues." Dan Mandeville, 22, a junior in Business Adminis-tration. said he was in schoolbecause, "you've got to have a degree to make some money." He said he wants to work in stocks andinvestments., Those companies require a degree from college to get into the door, he explained. As fortaking liberal arts, he thought classes were okay, but "there was too much of that stuff." "It's a joke," hecontinued. "Your livelihood is weighted equally with becoming a well-rounded person. College for me isa trade. I'm interested in world issues, but I can't get bent-out-of-shape about it because as a singleindividual, I can't change anything'.' Richard Francis, director of the outgoing Pilot Program for the Core.Curriculum, explained that students are pressured by parents, peers and economi s e live in a societythat values education as a means of self-impro vement and up ward mobility, on the one hand, andunder-finances it on the other. If learning is perceived as accumulation of information, then the act, theart of teaching is reduced to information exchange and teachers become interchangeable commoditiesto be purchased as inexpensively as possible. â€”Knefelkamp ics to take practical courses to find jobsin a technological society. But he added the nature of American universities historically has beeninfluenced by "a strong pragmatic element," which has helped obscure the purpose of higher education,he said. "We've never sorted out the levels of education," he said. "Such as, what level does one receivea liberal arts education and where does one begin technical training?"

"Basically, I believe this generation of students came to college to improve their standard of living as opposed tobeing idealistic and learning for learning's sake," she said. When asked why she came to Western,Debby Dorman, 23, a senior in accounting, said she was seeking a career. Dorman said she thinksstudents today are into professional training as opposed to learning about ideas. "I took what wasrequired and felt liberal arts didn't apply to what I wanted to do," she said. Laura Penberthy, 21, a seniorin French, said she came to Western to "find answers to questions about the world in general that I didn't think I could find anywhere else." . Penberthy said she felt Western provided answers to many ofquestions, although most of the students This confusion began with the creation of land-grantuniversities, he said. Originally, they were created to improve the agricultural and technical quality ofour country. In effect, they are elaborate trade schools, he said. After World War II, state, universitiesexpanded greatly with the ideal of offering education for all, Francis said. "It decided to be all things toeverybody." The state universities then tried to copy the liberal arts schools, and by doing that, over-extended themselves, he said. Knefelkamp, in her paper, says universites have a greater diversity ofage, race, sex, intellectual ability and academic preparation than ever before.. She describes the "newstudent,"defined as being in the lower one-third of academic ability by all measures of student abilityand achievement.

They are primarily studentsfrom lower socioeconomic families having no higher education history. They came to collegesucceeding best at concrete learning tasks, failing frequently at abstract tasks such as reading about,talking about or writing about theoretical subject matter, she said. They have high needs for structure,personal attention, immediate feedback on performance, and education that results in immediatevocational choice and economic improvement. They come, in short, to campus and facultyenvironments that do not know who they are, she said. Knefelkamp adds that one of the most difficultissues facing higher education is to make the distinction between types of learning. She defines onetype as "quantitative, which is the accumulation of informa-p Â«iÂ°8 tion, credits and grade as"qualitative." It is "I of thinking to be used [ analyze complex situal action."

Harris said much of the blame lies with the educationalsystem, and not necessarily with the student. The system doesn't encourage independent thought, hesaid. "High school students have been taught for a long time not to think for themselves," he said. "And I don't think some of the classes at Western have encouraged independent thought, either." Bob Balas ofthe foreign languages department said that for students to learn something from a course, the instructionmust help them see connections between theory and reality. He said most course material presents only the theory side, and the student is not shown connections to reality. Part of the blame falls onuniversity teaching, which most instructors simply don't care about improving, Balas said. "There's neverbeen an effort to explore who the good teachers are on campus, and to see how effective they are," hesaid. "I think there's only a vague notion of wanting to improve teaching." Francis agreed. Even thehumanities become sper-cialized, he said. Professors in humanities tend to do advanced scholarly workin over-refined areas and fail to make the connection between scholar and teacher, he explained. It's asymptom of the times, he added. Yet Francis said he feels the humanities still must provide a broaderapplication of the meaning of historical works and make it clear to the students how significant theseworks are to their own lives. Thomas Billings of the education department said students still have thesame interests they've always had in philosophy and technology. He had taught for 32 years. "But we'renot serving the philosophical needs of students at all well," he added. The prime questions of the humanrace should be the core of a university, he said, not the technical or commercial intersts of an industrialsociety. Freshman Janette Gluba, 19, came to Western because "I didn't want to be stuck as ahousewife with two kids watching soap operas." She said neither of her parents went to college and could not help her with \o* EC0*Â°*lCS. t con AV *Â®3' M 10* of think they are as intellectually exciting,"Balas said. "Preferably, I loved the healthy antagonism of the early 70s," he said. The students'orientation is different today, he added. They are more concerned about careers and grades. On the other hand; students can't neglect this aspect since once they leave the university they need to find jobs," hesaid. "So the colleges are thereby forced by this 'mercantile imperative'to give students what theywant," said / am concerned that we are in danger of becoming a higher education communitycharacterized by non-generativity and by the inability to hear each other's voices.

"The students are graduating from here with a narrow and purposelessnessfield of knowledge available to them," he said. "The educational system in which they have been 'nurtured' has managed to addict them to a terminal confusion of data and knowledge. "And if the studentdoesn'tfind a particular course to his or her chosen field, they simply denounce it as unworthy of their study," headded. Many students today are job-oriented because they are worried about the future, Sherwood said.She thinks it's a cycle and a trend. In 10 years students will be more idealistic and will value learning forits own sake, she said. But others wonder what exactly is the purpose of higher education? Is it to trainpeople to operate machines, or is it a commune of ideas, a place to restore the soul and reflect on theworld outside? It has tried to be both, but is has not done its job well. John McFarland a graduate student in the school of educa-tion. clarified the dilemma students and higher education institutions facetoday. "There are some highly educated people coming out of here with no better understanding ofthemselves "or their relation to the world," he said. "I equate a higher state of consciousness as the goalof an educated man or woman."

Gluba said she wants to become better educated, and Westernis a stepping stone to a university offering an advertising degree, she said/ She said that in the dormsshe doesn't discuss what she learns in class with her friends, unless it's about tests. Gluba said shedidn't prepare herself for college, but said high school didn't demand enough from her either. AndyNeubauer, 19, is a freshman. He said he chose Western because his friends did and because it has agood broadcasting program. "Mostly I came here for a career," he said. He felt ambivalent about liberalarts and GURs. "Some of the GURs will help me in my career; but I don't think anthropology will. It givesme knowledge about cultures, but that's about it." "The students today are more attentive, but I don'treappear. The more skills you have,"i.e. intellectual3 and practical, the better you'll survive the world andits tremendous changes.". Speaking to professors like Mills, Francis and Billings, the conclusion isthat intellectual skills are grossly lacking throughout the educational system. It's no surprise the focus atWestern today is vocational. It's what the students want. But while it remains that way, Mills speaksfor the minority: "My role is to resist the changes implied in the mercantile imperative if they seem toinsist on handicapping the students. Therefore, what I insist upon is a basic competence in theprocess of gathering new ideas and strengthening the 'mental muscles' necessary to lift the nextproblem up into the light. So while I teach the same data which is current in all areas of scholasticinquiry, I do so in the traditions of the skeptics. I force the students to forge the tools of learning." ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 By Elisa Claassen In addition to setting a meetrecord, freshman Genevie Pfueller set a new school record with 1982 Athlete of the Year MarilynThibodeau.

But for ex-Western quarterback Dave Peterson, who was invited to attend the United StatesFootball League Arizona Outlaws training camp this past January, a lot also can be said for playing good, consistent football. "I was nervous. It was scary," Peterson said of walking onto the practice field inTempe, Arizona. He attended three two-hour practices and found differences from college practices. "InTempe, it was very organized. All the players knew exactly what to do, and the coaches didn't need tospend time explaining things," he said. He said in college, where new people are learning, coachesspend more time explaining things and the organization is not as precise. "The receivers were a lotfaster than anyone I'd seen. It was hard to get my timing down," he added. Peterson said thequarterback coach was encouraging. "He said I did a lot of things real well, but my arm wasn't strongenough and I should keep working on it," he said. Peterson said he believes his arm is strong enough.He said scheduling didn't allow time for a warm-up, and because his arm also had been sore, "I couldn'tgrip the football." He said he didn't attend the camp expecting to make the team. The Outlaws already had signed its players and the camp was held to "take a look at people and see if anyone was betterthan the players signed." But Peterson said the camp was good experience for his tryout with the British Columbia Lions at the end of March. He said he believes his best chance for playing professional football lies in the Canadian Football League. CFL players tend to be smaller than National Football Leagueplayers, and at 5-foot-10, Peterson admits his size works against him in the National Football League.Peterson said size, however, may not be as important as how well a coach utilizes his abilities. "Thecoach has to have a roll-out offense, take advantage of my speed and ability to throw on the run," hesaid. "Even a 6-2 quarterback can't throw over a 6-6 lineman with his arms up," he said, and any goodquarterback has to be able to "throw around the defense." Peterson's football career began at a BoysClub in the small town of Arlington when he was 7. In high school, he was named an all-state defensiveback, and as quarterback, he led the Arlington Eagles to a Class AA state title in 1979. At OlympicCommunity College, he won honorable mention as a community college Ail-American, and when hebrought his quarterback skills to Western, he set or tied 14 school records. Peterson ended his footballcareer at Western last season rated fourth nationally in the NAIA. Playing at Western, Peterson hasn'treceived the publicity he might have at a larger school. He said his size was a factor in not being draftedby a larger school, but he is quick to add he finds many advantages playing for a smaller school. "In amajor college, people get washed away, there's no chance to play. At the University of Washingtonthere are second team guys that never play. In a smaller school, you often can play four years and havea lot of opportunities to improve and gain experience," he said. Peterson's motivation to play footballstems from his enjoyment of the game and competition, and, he said, player and fan approval also play a part. For the moment, football is the number one priority in Peterson's life. To succeed, he said, "That'sthe way it has to be." He said if he couldn't play football he would miss the excitement. "It's exciting tomake a big play on fourth down, or to scramble out of trouble," he said. But he wouldn't miss "gettingbeat up." Peterson said he's never had a serious injury, and he never thinks about it when he's on thefield, but he does admit having felt aches and pains from bumps, bruises and pulled muscles. DAVEPETERSON If the Lions don't sign Peterson, he has plans to try out later in the year for Toronto orWinnipeg. Peterson's goal to play professional football is an immediate one, but he also has long-term goals that include finishing his technical degree, and someday "having a good job, and being a goodhusband and father." Warthogs tie game with Skagit Valley By Janice Keller The sun didn't quite shinehard enough on the Western Warthogs Saturday afternoon as they tied 8-8 with Skagit Valley Rugby Club in Mount Vernon. "Skagit Valley played an excellent game," Western coach John McCarthy said,"which is a compliment to Western. They knew they had to play well. "We played an average game andit blended into a tie," he added. Wings Kelly Bunn and Rob Sackerson were responsible for one tryeach(scoringattempt worth fourpoints). Saturday's match leaves the Warthogs 6-2-1 for the season. Team captain Brian Taylor, who plays eighth man, said the team didn't play as well as they did againstChuckanut Bay last week and did individual things wrong. "We didn't pass and we didn't pick the ball up," he said. He said that at one point, "one more pass and we would have scored again." McCarthy saidthe players tried to do too much individually, keeping the team from scoring. "More than anything," hesaid, "rugby is a team sport. Individuals are capable of losing rugby games. Team play wins rugbygames." OPEN LATE. KINKO'S business day starts early and ends late, so we're here when you needus most!

Even without actors or a plot the film would be a stunning sensual experience. But the film does have a plot and it is a time-honored one. The tragic story is based on the classic Greek legend of Orpheus. In the film version,Orpheus falls in love with Eurydice at a Rio de Janeiro carnival. The couple's happiness is threatenedby the inevitable Death, whose eerie skeleton costume is contrasted to the brightly colored carnival ashe stalks Eurydice. When the carnival ends, its illusion of happiness is exposed. The costumes fallaway. The police arrest those too drunk to find their way home. MOVIE PREVIEW But Orpheuscontinues to wear his costume and clings hopefully to his doomed jove for Eurydice. The film leads theaudience to believe true love can overcome even death. The film proves brilliant filmmaking canovercome mediocre acting. The main characters in "Black Orpheus" are portrayed by dancers, notactors. Consequently, the actors often seem awkward and stiff when contrasted to the fluid fandangoalmost constantly in the background. But the actors and the plot of "Black Orpheus" serve only toexplain the message that is communicated most powerfully by the film's music and natural beauty.Orpheus' love is communicated by his music, not his words. And the lovers' hope is found in a sunrise,not in their facial expressions. "Black Orpheus" was made in the-late 1950s when directors still wereexploring the possibilities of color film. Many directors today seem to believe the bright, clear colorsfound in "Black Orpheus" are garish. Now, more subdued colors and foggy scenes are in style. But thecolors of "Black Orpheus," combined with the movement of its dance and music, make the film come tolife in a way few films can. "Black Orpheus" will be shown with subtitles tonight at 6:30 and 9 in thePerforming Arts Center. Admission will be $1.50. Weller Martin (David Clarke) and Fonsia Dorsey (NoraDunfee) play cards in the upcoming production of "The Gin Game."

UP COMING "The Gin Game," canbe seen at 8 p.m. in the Old Main Theater. Tickets for all performances are $8 general admission and$6 students and senior citizens. "The play addresses the loneliness, the humor, the frustration andthe need for companionship that every human being faces and which is emphasized with the advance ofage,"said Director of Actor Training at Western Tom Ward. Project promotional director for "The GinGame," Madeline Nelson, said the play has won Time magazine's "Year's Best Award," and the "Golden Apple Award." The author, D.L. Coburn, won a Pulitzer prize for drama.for "The Gin Game." Nelsonsaid the play will be performed by veteran film, television and Broadway performers David Clarke asWeller Martin and Nora Dunfee as Fonsia Dorsey. Clarke has performed in over 30 professional plays,including "All My Sons,"Awake and Sing" and "Orpheus Descending." His numerous film andtelevision credits include "The Red Badge of Courage" and his role as Uncle Tiso, a regular in thesoap opera "Ryan's Hope." Clarke also is a playwright. His "Never A Sung Harbour" will be produced byWestern's theater dance department this spring. Dunfee, in addition to her impressive acting career, has directed at Carnegie-Mellon and New York University, and is a creative vocal consultant for suchperformers as Debbie Reynolds, James Earl Jones, Jessica Lange and Mel Gibson.

By Liisa Hannus Very few people candetermine the sex of an artist simply by looking, at what he or she has painted. ANALYSIS"Landscape: A Comparative View," currently on show at the Chrysalis Gallery, displays the work of twoartists, one male and one female, who use different styles and techniques to depict the same subject."This show hopes to create a dialogue of their work and provoke thought and discussion about the part gender plays in our lives and self-expression," said Kitty Brougham, gallery director. SusanBennerstrom's use of pastels gives her landscapes a soft and well-blended effect. In comparison, JohnCole uses oils, which give a bold outline and often uneven-looking picture. Bennerstrom's paintings show various places in Oregon, California and Washington, while Cole concentrates on the lake areas ofBritish Columbia's Okanagan. Both artists go to extremes in their color choice, ranging from subduedbrowns and greens to vibrant oranges and blues. Ben-nerstrom uses brilliant colors equally in all herpaintings, whereas Cole tends to use a little in one and then a great deal of bright color in another. Coleand Bennerstrom are very talented artists. Although their styles are very different from each other, it'shard to determine if this is because of their sex or simply the way they paint. It is almost impossible tosay whether the softness in Bennerstrom's work is because she is female or if it is her use of pastels. The same may be said for the hard lines of Cole's work: Are they hard and rugged because he's a manor because of technique? The comparative show of Cole and Bennerstrom's work will continue at theChrysalis Gallery until March 16. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.

All receipts go the Northwest Medical Teams, a Seattle-basedorganizations that sends medical personnel into Ethiopia, said John Hawkins, social issues chairman for the Program Commission. Hawkins said the all-volunteer organization of nurses, doctors and medicaltechnicians was ^chosen after he saw a television show about them. "1 was watching about Dr. JimOwens who said they were overwhelmed not only with the famine but with the medical problemsover there the disease and parasites. "It really touched me to think that they'd (the medical personnel) give up three months of their lives to go over there and help," Hawkins said. The organization, firstformed in 1979 for relief efforts in Thailand and recently re-activated to help Ethiopia, has one team of15 in the field and another slated for departure this month. All but about 5 percent of donations theyreceive buy medicine, food, blankets and child care for famine victims, currently estimated to be about 10 million people. Operational needs of the organization office space, telephones, air transportation and more are being supplied through donations-in-kind. Hawkins said Lloyd Graves, a member of theorganization, may be able to speak at the event but plans were not set at this time. Hawkins, who along with Mark Turner and Gigi Aho of the Program Commission, is coordinating the event, said the benefitrock show is a joint effort of several people of the Program Commission, Associated StudentGovernment, Campus Christian Ministries, the Peace Resource Center and others, including Jensen,Whidbee and Norma DeVecca, manager of the Systematic Breakers. The event has been in theplanning stages since early February when people planning several different benefits found eachother and pooled their ideas and resources.

Today, more thanever, students are entering colleges and universities just to later earn a better wage, not to improve theirminds. Universities, in turn, are obliging their bread-and-butter by offering vocational-type courses andpractically ignoring philosophy, arts, literature, anthropologyâ€”any course where independent thinking isrequired and discussion is encouraged. In a recent survey conducted by the American Council onEducation and the University of California at Los Angeles, 69.3 percent of those surveyed said theywanted to be "well-off financially." In 1967, only 43.5 percent, gave that answer. Only 44.1 percent wereinterested in "developing a meaningful philosophy of life." In 1967, 82.9 percent wanted that.' Even here, where Fairhaven College and a liberal arts tradition tries to usurp technological forces on campus,specialized business, tech, economics, computer science and computer programming are creeping in ata healthy pace, with help from President G. Robert Ross. Maybe this vocational-style education isn't abad thing. Maybe these students also are gaining.from an eclectic environment. One can only hopethey are. Understanding develops from a wide spectrum of ideals, values and exchanges of opinion fromall aspects of the campus community. Maybe Western should stop offering "easy 'A'" courses wheresleeping or skipping is the best way through. At least that way, the world wouldn't have to worry aboutrepeating history through ignorance of the past simply because it wasn't a required course. WashPIRGfunds gained deceptively Backwards logic again has prevailed at Western. This time it surfaced in theBoard of Trustees' decision concerning the Washington Public Interest Research Group. The Trusteesdecided Thursday that beginning next fall, everyone registering for classes will be contributing $2 toWashPIRG unless they check a box for a refund. Not only that, but the students will have to claim theirrebates from a table at which will be seated PIRGers with stacks of literature. That's like a Democratvoting on a ballot that's been pre- . marked Republican, and having to vote under the eye of a Republican. Danny Kadden, WashPIRG representative, said the negative system is necessary becauseWashPIRG won't be able to raise enough money with a positive system in which people wanting tocontribute would check a box. Never mind the fact that last winter 5,000 students signed a petitionsaying they'd support WashPIRG. And never mind the fact that anyone wanting to go through the troubleof getting a rebate is contributing to something they probably know little, if anything, about. TheWashington Student Lobby gets funding through a positive billing in which students make a consciouseffort to contribute to WSL. If WashPIRG can't get enough funding through a conscious student action,then it doesn't have the support it needs to make it viable. WashPIRG has no excuse for its deceivingfunding techniques. wmmmmmmm iBipa||iur^Â§^ iEpjiio^ Editorials reftecttK m^ theeditPf;:mariagihg;e^ ^gned: commentaries-^^ :commentariexare*:weicornedl-:'.;:^ IfH TCM: Ofle out lt;*i(t| ty@$ gt; U)WtS ne .... W M Wtomfoir Kill a Commie for Mommy' Reaganitis starts at earlyage By Bruce Vanderpool Dear President Reagan: The other day a (former) friend and 1 were playing ina sandbox with our Tonka trucks. We decided to each build a city. He would rule on and 1 would rule theother. Everything was fine. Then my (former) friend got up and started talking about "communism." NowI'm not sure what communism is, but it sounds like a long, nasty, foul word to me. From that, he.started rambling on about some guy named Karl Marx (I think he's related to Groucho), and how thereshouldn't be a class system and everything should be shared by the people. He declared his city acommunist state and started salivating like Pavlov's dog chanting, "The East is Red. The East is Red." Icouldn't take any more of his craziness, so I mashed his head in with my Tonka dump-truck. I then tookover his city and made it a democracy. I called it Meeseville (in honor of Edwin Meese III). When I growup, President Reagan, I want to be president just like you. I could then drink Budweiser beer and drive aFord Granada (the car they named after the country you invaded). You are a swell guy. Your Pal, Timmy (age 8) Dear Timmy: Your letter brought tears to my eyes. Why, 1 can remember when I was a littleboy we used to burn Communists at the stake. But, of course, that was during the Red scare. Thosewere good days, Timmy. America was a grand place to live then, and it still is, too. Yes, Timmy,communism is a nasty word. It is hard to believe that it has more than four letters. Your mashing yourfriend's head is an honorable and noble gesture of the strength and characterthat ourcountry needs. Youhave touched my , and America's heart. Thank you for bringing Groucho Marx to my attention: I willcheck the blacklist immediately to see if he is on it. We must stop communism before it stops us. I feelyour heroism should not go unrewarded. 1 was going to award you with a S1,000 loan, but I see yourfamily grosses over $32,000 a year (besides, Mr. Weinberger could use the money to protect our greatnation). I have decided to send you a bronzed jellybean and a hearty salute of thanks. May the force be with you. President Ronald W. Reagan (age 74) P.S. I asked Mr. Bush and he said the country 1invaded was Grenadaâ€”not Granada. Ford must have made a mistake. South African bloodbath?*Beware rush to divestment By Steve Mittelstaedt Any intelligent and thoughtful person who believes injustice cannot possibly support apartheid in South Africa. It is undeniably an oppressive system. Somecaution, however, needs to be exercised in choosing divestment as the means used to bring . about itsremoval. U. S. firms in South Africa employ blacks. Divestment will deprive them of the income theyneed to support their families and will put them out on the streets. This is hardly just. In addition to this, masses of unemployed workers desperate for any potential escape from their grinding poverty provide afertile seedbed for a violent and bloody revolution against Afrikanner repression. Of course, if Americanslike blood baths, then by all means, U.S. corporations should be forced to divest. Then the Americanswho precipitated this holocaust can wring their hands while South Africa devours itself in internal strife.Some black South African leaders, mindful of the potential for harm, are not yet ready to call fordivestment. These include Zulu leader Gatasha Buthelezi and Bishop Desmond Tutu, the recent winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. U. S. corporations should not be forced to divest until major black leaderssuch as these call for it. Since when have Americans suddenly been granted the wisdom to tell thesepeople how to reform their country? Not that the United States should sit idly by. On the contrary,corporations should be encouraged, coerced if necessary, to follow labor practices that undermineapartheid. Tutu himself favors corporate investment if it is used as a lever for political change. Firms suchas Gillette, which sponsors a legal aid clinic serving blacks, already are acting to undermine apartheid,but more action is needed. U. S. firms can raise the status and economic position of blacks, makingthe Afrikanners more dependent on them. This-also would give the blacks more leverage with which togain political power. Blacks could be given one form of leverage immediately. U.S. corporations shouldbe encouraged to support South Africa's fledgling trade union movement. Sen. Edward Kennedy's callfor giving union leaders greater access to corporate officials is a good one. Divestment should be viewedas a last resort, to be used when all other means of pressure on the South African government shows nohope of bringing change. Violent revolution may break out regardless of what U.S. citizens do. especially if the Afrikanners increase the level or repression to maintain their position. But what if justice can beachieved without it? Does the United States need to help precipitate a blood bath? ---------- Western Front - 1985 March 12 - Page 15 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 15 LETTERS Graffiti: Look at it this way WesternFront: Daily I pass by the Serra sculpture, better known to people on campus as "the Hershey bar,"the "sign board," or "the big triangle sculpture." Written daily with chalk are the joys and frustrations ofstudents who avoid arrest by campus security by midnight sojourns to the iron mammoth. An articlein the Western Front last December by Mark Connolly pointed this out. He told of horror for those caught by security: arrest, fines, possible imprisonment, etc. He told us that graffiti was vandalism. I agreethat vandalism is wrong if done in paint, not chalk. I also believe that graffiti is art, and the word itself has taken on the n e g a t i v e c o n n o t a t i o n of "vandalism." â€¢ Since men have lived in caves,,graffiti has been-rampant. Art is anything created by people and exists in the eyes of the beholder. Theobjection to graffiti is that it is "ugly" and "destructive." 1 agree that it is, if done with paint to publicworks, i.e., buildings and sculptures." However, graffiti done in many-colored chalk is very beautiful.Passing the Fairhaven tunnel underpass and the Hershey bar sculptur.e, I've seen painted in threefluorescent colors the saying, "Blessed be!" I thought that a Christian theme of goodness dom- . inatedthis. The bright rise of varied colors was as beautiful as the message it displayed. This was trueartwork. My praise goes put to the artist! People are angry at people who subject others to unwantedslogans. I agree. This country allows freedom of speech and press. We let the Neo-Nazis, HareKrishnas, Communists, etc., pass out literature in public. Everyone has his or her own philosophies.Mine is, it's too bad that more people don't make the effort to become true artists and convey messagesto others both shocking and beautiful, through the use of colored chalk on campus. This is notvandalism. Most artwork like the Serra sculpture is designed to give others emotional reactions, bothgood and bad. My only argument for Mark Connolly is,should wegoout and arrest, fine and imprison alllittle girls who play hopscotch by drawing on public streets with chalk? Should we fine those cave men who "vandalized' their inner cave walls with what is now considered great archaeological importance?

Today, in a world ofdwindling natural resources, recycling makes sense. I encourage you to make the effort to check it out.Here is some useful information to help you start recycling. Bellingham is the only city in Washingtonstate that has recycling pickup service. Bellingham Community Recycling (BCR) picks up recyclables at the curbside in five neighborhoods: Happy Valley, Southside, Birchwood, Sehome Hill and Samish. Each neighborhood is serviced once amonth on Saturdays, with the exception of Happy Valley, whichis serviced once on Thursdays. Glass, paper, tin, and aluminum are accepted. For more informationcall BCR at 733-8307. The Associated Students Recycle Center collects recyclables on campus.Glass, aluminum, and paper collection barrels are located at Arnt-zen Hall, Miller Hall, FairhavenSquare, the Plaza, and at all the dorms. Also paper collection barrels are located in many buildings.The AS Recycle Center is located at 519 21st. It serves the community as a drop-off center for all therecyclables mentioned above, plus motor oil, tin and scrap metal. The center encourages students tovisit the facility to learn more about recycling. For more information call 676- 3088 (ext. 3088 oncampus). Ruth Ethelston No respect for local ratballers Western Front I like to play basketball. I'mreally not all that good. I can't jump very well and do not have good form on my jumpshot. But pick-upratball games in Carver Gym during afternoons and evenings have already been a source of greatpleasure for me. However, twice recently I was denied the opportunity to play basketball in the uppergyms, A and C, even though they were not being used by anyone else. Because these two full-courtgyms were closed, I was relegated to gym D, which though old, isn't that bad except when you have toshare it with 42 other people. It appears that the men's basketball coach, Bill Westphal, has foundthe sounds emanating forth from the upper gyms to be a distraction when issuing his eloquentcommands to his attentive disciples. So now when the men's varsity practice, the hoops in theadjoining gyms A and C are raised to the ceiling. As far as I know this is a new policy, unique to men'svarsity, not women's. I am not the only rat-baller distressed and frustrated by this lack of gymaccessibility. Another exasperated player suggested that we get a group together to make noise andchant obscenities. While yelling "B 1!" loudly in unison would have been a very satisfying vent offrustration, I thought a more appropriate response would be a written complaint; hence this letter. Igrudgingly accept the fact that the Western varsity teams, male and female* have priority over gym B(and its six beautiful glass back- . boards) for four hours daily in the afternoons. But for CoachWestphal, even though his brother is Paul, to deny well over 20 ratballers the chance to poundthemselves is unconscionable.

One slide showed a billboard used to advertise a RollingStones album. On it. a woman was standing with her legs apart and her knees bent. She was tied up, bruised and smiling. The caption read. "I'm 'Black and Blue' from the Rolling Stones and 1 love it."Another slide was a cover of Hustler magazine, in which the lower half of a woman's body was stickingup from a bloody meat grinder. The slide presentation,- assembled by the National Women AgainstViolence Against Women Association, was part..of the conference on ptarn^grd^hys-po-ristrred byseveral of Western's organizations last weekend. Throughout the conference, pornography was defined as material that is hostile and demeaning to women. It was distinguished from eroticism, defined asthe depiction of healthy sexuality. Sherry Jubilo. former member of the now-defunct Bellingham chapterof the group', moderated the presentation. Another slide showed an album cover from a group called New York City. It was a cartoon of four men chasing a woman whose hands were tied. The picture "turnsgang rape into a cute little joke," Jubilo said. IAMCF KIM.FR Nancy Uding instructs Margo end'spornography issues and Other slides showed depictions of women being cut Up, adolescent girls being-raped by older men and children being molested. After the show, the audience of about 20 women and 6men broke up into an all-men's and all-women's group to discuss their feelings about what they'd seen."It makes me sick to my stomach to think men really get turned on by that," one woman said.Anothersaid the slides made her Sanderson in effective self-defense techniques during last week-answers conference. feel like screaming. Saturday afternoon, several members of the Pornography EducationCenter led a panel discussion about the legal and political actions that can be taken againstpornography. Nancy Mullane talked about a civil-rights approach taken by two women in Minnesotaseveral years ago. They proposed an amendment to the city's existing civil-rights ordinance that would outlaw pornography. Pornography violated theircivil rights, they said, because it encouraged violenceand hostility toward women. The city council passed the amendment, but the mayor vetoed it. Mullanesaid changing laws is a long-term goal, but immediate changes can be made "by approaching it as aconsumer." Susan Given suggested people tell proprietors of local grocery stores they won't shop attheir store because it sells pornographic magazines. She also said they should let store managers andowners who don't carry the magazines know they appreciate it. She cited Albertson's, which hasstopped selling pornographic magazines within the past year, as an example of what consumer pressure can do. On Sunday morning, a film entitled "Killing Us Softly" told about the negative stereotypesadvertising perpetuates about women. Cambridge sociologist Jean Kil- Ibourne narrated and helpedproduce the film. People are not taught to take ' advertising seriously, yet it is one of the mostpowerful socializing effects in-our society, Killbourne said. Advertising shows women "almost entirely as sex objects or ' 'moronic, housewives pathologically obsessed with cleanliness," Killbourne said. She added that the media tells us the only acceptable standard of beauty is youth and absolute flaw-lessness, and our "lovability is contingent on achieving that standard." Other events at theconference, included a documentary film about pornography, a self-defense workshop and an analysis of pornographic videos. The conference was sponsored by Sisterstage, Women's Center, Men's Center, V.U. Gallery, A.S. Program Commission, Women-space, Fairhaven College, and the PornographyEducation Center. Careers Day opens the door to future jobs By Scott Friedrich Western studentslooking ahead to their futures caught a glimpse of what to expect at the Business Careers Day lastThursday. The event, jointly sponsored by the Career Planning Services and the Pacific NorthwestPersonnel Management Association (PNPMA), attracted many students. Student coordinator Jennifer Williams, sophomore communication major, said the "event had a bigger turn out than last year." Tina Brinson. coordinator for the Career Planning Services Programs, managed the whole affair. She saidattendance was up "at least by 100 students. We had between 500 and 600 students participate thisyear." Kelli Ambuehl, a representative for PNPMA, echoed Williams and Brinson, saying she had "talked with 50 students before lunch, and "I expect to talk to at least 50 more." Greg Gosada, president ofPNPMA, described the.event as useful and valuable to any student. "We're trying to give students thechance to spend some time with possible employers to get a foot in the door for future employment,"Gosda said. Scott Bailey, a senior Fairhaven student with a self-designed major in public relations,agreed with Gosda. "I'm meeting people in business and fields I'm interested in getting into. Perhaps I'llget a name and address for a future interview," he said. Bailey said the Ehrig and Hoffman LaRochecompanies were especially helpful. He found out what the companies were doing and "how a person likeme could fit into their company." Cathy A. Haverland, representative for the Pay-N-Save corpora-, tion, said her company had found many employees through past Career Days. "We've been recruiting since1981 through this event. It has provided us with top quality people for our internship and management programsâ€”better (people) than we could have gotten internally," Haverland said. Brinson describedwhat she JANICE KELLER Senior Fairhaven student Scott Bailey visits with Mike Shea, humanresources manager for Haggen's Foods, at Business Careers Day in the VU last Thursday. believedCareers Day offered students. "This event is to provide students with the opportunity to expand theirawareness of careers and business," Brinson said. Jody Whitaker, a freshman business/computerscience major, found the event "eye opening." "Prudential Insurance was very helpful. They told meabout their jobs and what they look for in an employee. Then they asked me how old I was. I told them .. . they told me to come back in five years," Whitaker said, laughing as she left. ---------- Western Front - 1984 November 20 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 Housing and Dining to review brew By HollyBlomberg A policy banning kegs in residence halls will be submitted to the Housing and DiningCommittee sometime winter quarter, Associate Director of University Residences Kay Rich saidWednesday.

Western's Vice President of Student Affairs Joan Sherwood said. Based on thatstatistic, Sherwood has made funding for pre-fall orientation at Western her No. 1 priority for the 1985-87 biennium. "I'm thinking of a series of one-day orientations for about 100 students at a time,"Sherwood said. "That way they get a little more attention (than Western's current orientation programoffers.)" Sherwood guessed about half of the freshmen would choose, to take part in the pre-fallorientation the first year. Those who do would be allowed to register at that time â€” ahead of transferstudents and freshmen who didn't attend. The main advantage is "students will get a better idea ofwhat Western is all about." The present orientation takes place three to four days before classes beginin a lecture hall full of freshmen and transfer students. ' â€¢ ' Pre-fall orientation would be â€¢ offered inaddition to regular orientation, but only to freshmen and their parents. They would come to campus,spend the night and begin orientation activities the next morning. Sherwood estimated the cost wouldbe about $25 per person. "'I want the parents to Know what goes on up here," Sherwood said. "I thinkthe orientation will help them to anticipate changes (in their children) and to realize it is normal."Sherwood hopes to model Western's pre-fall orientation after a successful orientation program at theUniversity of Oregon, a program considered by many as a model for the rest of the country. An'Orientation Committee currently is being assembled by Sherwood. The 20- to' 25- person task force isled by Connie Copeland and four or five committee members will be sent to the Oregon Campus for atraining session. Sherwood said she is a firm believer in pre-fall orientation because it allows studentsand parents to see the campus for themselves. She cited her experience at the University ofKansas as a favorable example. "In the late '60s and early 70s the university (Kansas) was held inpretty low regard; because of all the disturbances (on the campus) with the Vietnam war," Sherwoodrecalled. "But the new chancellor made summer orientation a big deal and all of a sudden our stature inthe state began to rise." Large collection of Frames, Clear Glass, Standard Lenses.

As part of a chain reaction, some of the old courts have been converted into atemporary parking lot.

Eleven generations later, Laurence Brewster was born inSouth Dakota. Now 69 years old, Brewster is a professor emeritus of Western's Speech /Theaterdepartment. Brewster came to Western in 1948, when Western still was Western Washington School ofEducation. Except for two years, when he finished his doctorate in Iowa, Brewster has taught speech and theater classes at Western ever since. Brewster said although his years of teaching were fulfilling, hehad originally wanted to be an attorney. "When 1 was in high school 1 took a course in business lawand we did a mock trial, and. I was one of the lawyers in the mock trial. I guess that gave me the idea,"he reminisced. "If you scratch at speech professors, you'll usually find frustrated lawyers, actors, orpreachers. They all go together," he said, smiling. Brewster was born and reared in the little farmingcommunity of Woonsocket, population 1,200, in South Dakota. His father managed a grain elevator. After graduating from college, Brewster landed his first teaching job in a high school of 90 students innorthwestern Iowa. Because the school encompassed grades one through 12, he taught "practicallyeverything," including economics, government, English and sociology. When World War II arrivedBrewster moved to Sioux Falls, S.D. and taught radio operation in an Air Force technical training school.._._Â£__â€ž:â€¢_ After the war Brewster taught high-school courses in Oregon City, Ore. beforereturning to the Midwest to earn a master's degreeat the University ' of Iowa. Afterwards, he taught atWartburg College in Waverly, Iowa, where he was the "entire speech and theater department." 1.Brewster heard of Western from the president at Yangtoii College from 1926 to 1945, George Nash. Nash also was Western's president from 1914 to 1926, and Nash Hall is named in his honor. Brewster said he had "endured the storms in the Midwest long enough," and returned to Washington. In 1948 KVOS, now KGMI, and KPUG were the only radio stations in Bellinghamr Brewster said in effect, a telephone lineexisted from the third floor of Old Main to KVOS, which enabled him to do radio work for Western through KVOS. He directed "Newsweek in Review" for students in his class and he broadcast "Faculty Speaks," a program in which he interviewed faculty. "It was all done live, of course, which was a lot more fun," hesaid. Brewster was active in directing theater at Western in 1952. He helped develop the first stage setused in the present Performing Arts Center's first play, "Life with Father," a comedy based on the book by Clarence Day. â€¢ Although he relinquished his post in the theater department in 1957, Brewster saidhe has "sort of kept my finger in theater" by being active in theater productions.. He has played the part of Willy Loman in "Death of Salesman" twice â€” in 1962 and in 1972. He also has played Sancho in "Manfrom La Mancha," Big Daddy in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Friar Lawrence in "Romeo and Juliet," and one ofthe fathp^" in "The Fantastiks." His last role was Erie Smith in "Hughie," by Eugene O'Neill. The 40-minute monologue is of Erie nostalgically reflecting on his friendship with Hughie, the-former hotel clerkwho died. "It was a very satisfying role to play," Brewster said. Brewster said he probably won't takeanymore roles. "It depends on whether or not the right thing comes along at the right time." In 1967,Brewster received the Teacher of the Year honor, then given by the Associated Students with $100attached. Only two faculty are given the award each year. But now administration gives the awards alongwith $1,000 "It's a little more lucrative now, yes," Brewster said, laughing. "If you scratch at speechprofessors, you'll usually find frustrated lawyers, actors or preachers. They all go together."Brewster retired four years ago but has kept busy. He and Margaret, his wife, are active in the American Cancer Society. Margaret Brewster was the state coordinator for the "Reach to Recovery" program for seven years. Sponsored by the ACS, the program helps women who have had mastectomies. This fall,Laurence Brewster became public information chairman for the local chapter of the ACS. In addition,the Brewsters attend the Seattle Repertory theater and Husky football games regularly. They.are active in the Congregational church, and Laurence Brewster works part time for Bellingham Travel Service,delivering tickets, filing brochures, and sponsoring and taking groups on trips abroad. He has taken twogroups to Great Britain and one to Europe. The day after his 70th birthday, Nov. 29, Brewster will leavefor a week-long trip to'Japan vHorig Kong, and Singapore, to inspect h6teis"for:future tours. \ lt; Lastyear, Brewster returned to his hometown of Woonsocket for the 50th anniversary of his high schoolgraduation; Of 29 graduates only about a dozen showed up, he said. "I wasn't too excited. Well, I hadn'tseen most of those individuals for 50 years, and after 50 years they're reallyjust strangers with familiarnames.

The idea of Red Square and the pathwaysleading from it was born some time in the early 1960s when Western administrators drew up a masterplan, said Richard Francis, chairman of the Art Acquisition Committee, the custodial body of the artcollections on campus. At that time George Bartholick,a Northwest architect, was employed to do amaster sketch of an academic quadrangle for Red Square. Bartholick also designed Whatcom Museumand planned the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. ' In 1969 Miller, Bond, Humanitiesand Haggard halls were completed and a square was formed. "The choice to use bricks was primarily because the area wasswampy and grassy and it had moist soil," Francis said. "The area was also a very concentrated trafficarea." Stuart Hurdle, of grounds and maintenance, said, "Bricks are the best way to cover groundbecause cement cracks and asphalt is ugly." Red Square coffee vendor Dave Paterson said, "I like thebricks. I trip over them once in a while, but that is part of life." Laura Ackerman, a senior history major;said, "I've tripped oyer the loose bricks. There are dips in them where puddles form and you have to walkall the way around to avoid getting your feet wet." Ackerman said, "I've heard a lot of other peoplecomplain. I think it's really hard for a lot of handicapped people, too." Karen Friesen, a senior historymajor, said, "I really have problems with the bricks on the north side of the library," she said. "When thebricks are wet and the leaves lying on them are wet, it makes it slick. â€¢ "J think it would help if theywould remove the wet leaves. Someone with crutches hits those leaves and goes down," Friesen said.Jeana McLatchy, a freshman speech major, said, "In Red Square there is no drainage and it's like a bigpuddle." Judy Harlock, a senior history major, said, "I love the bricks. I think they are absolutely beautiful. They give Western its character." Associated Student President Majken Ryherd said, "I think that the '..bricks add a certain amount of aesthetic beauty to the campus." She said the bricks make Westernmore "collegiate looking. They seem to add a richer 5^ Firemen get fit at Western By Elisa ClaassenEvery afternoon several Bellingham firetrucks park around Western's track. A few minutes later firefighters spend their allotted one hour for physical fitness training by running. The one hour is part of a nationwidephysical fitness program encouraging the firefighters to run. exercise, swim or participate in any aerobicactivity. More than 15 firefighters from Station Two on the corner of 14th Street and Harris Street, andStation Three on Indian Street, run at Western because the university is in their first-engine responsedistrict. The firetrucks a re driven here so the men can respond to an emergency any time. Withinminutes the firefighters, clad in running shorts and others in sweats, can jump into their thick, rubber-lined yellow suits. The tennis shoes are replaced by rubber boots with steel plates in the bottom. Thefirefighter's fitness program started in 1978 under then-chief Gary Hedberg and assistant Mike Lee as part of a nationwide program. In 1977, 134 firefighters died on the job in the United States, BellinghamCapt. Dan Anderson said. Fifty percent of those deaths were stress-related maladies-heart attacks andstrokes. Today the heart attack statistics are higher, especially in the 48- to 50-year-old age range,Anderson said. The screening program is done after every six months of physical conditioning.Firefighters with health problems then are diagnosed and treated. Anderson described co-firefighter Capt.John Kunnap's experience as an "inspirational story." When Anderson joined the firefighters 10 yearsago, while finishing his Bachelor degree at Western, about 70 percent of the 90 member crew smoked;Kunnap was one of them. After one of his first big fires in which a $40,000 Bellingham home wasdestroyed, Andersonfollowed the.men.iOut of the clojuds of what he called "toxic fumes" and they satdown to rest and light-cigarettes. â€¢ see Firefighters, page 11 lt;â€¢*' *:~~ ---------- Western Front - 1984 November 20 - Page 5 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 WESTERN FRONT 5 Baseball Hide your baseball cards or your mamay chuck'em By Ken Gibson Millions of mothers across America are guilty of a common' crime. Inmost cases, the act is perpetrated with benign naivete, but the results undoubtedly are disastrous.The scenario is usually the same. After being out of the nest for a few years, her son returns home.Sitting at the table enjoying a long-missed home-cooked meal, he asks, "Mom, do you rememberthat old box of baseball cards I used to have? Are they still around?" The response is usually the same. "Oh golly, I threw those out years ago." John Inge, a senior history major, was one of the luckyminority. By storing his baseball cards in a safe place he avoided the misfortune. Inge, who has beencollecting baseball cards for I Oof the last 15 years, said he has heard the sad tale many times. "Justabout everyone I've known, who collected baseball cards as a kid, has their own individual horror storyabout their mothers throwing' them out. Among collectors it is referred to as the 'Great AmericanTragedy."' The 24-year-old started collecting baseball cards in 1969 when he was nine. By the time he quit in 1975 he boasted more than 15,000 cards. He purchased most of the cards himself, but added to his collection when his brother and a few friends quit collecting and donated their cards to him. "When I finally decided I'd outgrown the hobby, I stored my cards in an old cabinet in the basement. Theywere out of the way there. The mistake most kids make is leaving them laying around in a box or a bag.where, their mothers have easy access to them," Inge said. "The only reason I saved the cards was Ithought they would be something to show my kids one day. 1 never thought I would start collecting them again." * ; Then in 1980. with his baseball cards still hidden in his parent's Bellingham basement, Ingewas thumbing through the latest issue of Sporting News when he came across an ad. It showed apicture of a 1910 Honus Wagner baseball card. The caption read: "Do you John Inge, a senior historymajor at Western, sits next to a portion of his 50,000 baseball card collection. EI.ISA CI.AASSEN knowthis baseball card is worth $15,000?" It was an advertisement for Baseball Hobby News. Inge bought asubscription. After receiving the first issue and flipping - through hundreds of baseball-card ads, he began to wonder about the value of the cards in the basement. Inge decided to advertise some of his cards inthe magazine to see if people actually would pay money for miniature cardboard likenesses of theirbaseball heros. People paid for Inge's cards and soon he found himself buying again. "It was a snowballeffect," he said. "Before I knew it I was collecting them again. I realized it wasn't just a kids hobby and a lot of adults were really serious about it." Inge has 50,000 card she claimed are valued at about$30,000. Baseball cards were created in the 1880s as an advertising gimmick to sell tobacco. TheAmerican Tobacco Company produced more cards than any other manufacturer before World War I. The war marked the end of baseball card inserts in tobacco packages. This was partially because themajority of collectors were non-tobacco-consuming youngsters. â€¢ see Baseball, page IINORTHWESTERN SCHOOL OF LAW of Lewis and Clark College, Portland, Oregon.

El.ISA CI AASSrN Nearly 1,000 rowdy fans helped inspire theVikings to a 7-3 victory overthe Tacoma Blackhawks Friday at the Bakerview Ice Arena. The record-sizedcrowd also left behind record amount of garbage which had to be cleaned up by the team after the game.Rink officials said they hope future crowds will pack out what they pack in. "The officiating was brutal,"manager Chet Cory said. "It seemed to inspire our guys, we were behind. They had their backs, to thewall." Cory said Utendale had argued with the refs concerning the safety of his _ players. Dave Higginsreceived 25 stitches from last week's encounter with the Royals, but was feeling better this weekend.' "It was a rough, chippy game," Cory said. "Their penalties proved to be their downfall. It cost them thegame." The Royals spent 36 minutes of the third period in the penalty box. Western's Todd Thachuk and Dale Zelter made two goals in the final two minutes. The last came in the final 17 seconds. Severalplayers, who had to drive, got lost on their way to the 9:45 p.m. game in Port Moody, B.C. Western hadto play with about 10 players rather than the usual 15 to 16. Friday night at home, the Viking icemennotched a 7-3 win, upping their season record to 4-1-2. The win was cheered by an enthusiastic crowd of 800 to 1,000, mainly Western students. AI Perry and Thachuk each contributed two goals. John Herda,Dale Zelter and Higgins each had one goal. Coach Utendale did not think the Vikings and the BlackHawks were evenly matched. "We're a better team," he said. "They didn't have the spark or drive wehad. They normally don't play a contact game. We play a pretty physical game." PI.ISA CI.AASSFNWestern's Jack Clampitt (5) circles the net after a Viking goal. While (in the background) the wave circledthe arena. Utendale praised the efforts of captain Thachuk, who had two goals and one assist. GoalieBarry Schreifels had 25 saves credited to him out of the. 38 shots on goal. A shot on goal is any shottaken by the opposition with reasonable chance to score. The players and Utendale were positive aboutthe growing number of hockey fans. "It was an entertaining game," Utendale said. "I'm really excitedabout the number of fans. The players appreciate being a part of the Western scene and beingrecognized for it." "It's a happening. It's nice to see hockey catching on." Western player Ken Kennedysaid. A Tacoma player told him after the game the fans were a credit to Western's hockev club. Men'shoops shoot high with recruits By Kris Franich Graduation wasn't kind to men's basketball coach BillWestphal. Seven of the top eight players from last year's 14-11 team graduated, leaving behind a mere one starter to help rebuild the 1984-85 team. Last season. Western finished with one of the bestrecords in five years. The Vikings overcame-lack of height by perfecting a fast-break offense and setschool records with their excellent shooting. In 16 games, Western shot 50 percent or better from thefield. Three players earned National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District I all-star honors,including Todd Bailey, Bob Peters and John DeFranco. Peters set three school records, including fieldgoal accuracy in a season, in a career and made all 12 free throws in one game. Last season, theVikings placed sixth in the district standings with a 6-7 record, missing a playoff berth in the season'sfinal week. This season, Westphal will retain his fast-break offense and pressing defense. The Vikingshave more height this season, which may slow their game down. Westphal said, however, "We can gowith a smaller lineup to speed up our game. We'll have to find out what style we can win with in games." In the off-season, Westphal recruited seven community college transfers and two freshmenâ€” sevenof those nine recruits are 6'4". or taller. For the second year Westphal had to rebuild his team with 12new players and three returning from last year's squad. "Last season we had a new team, but I knew alot of them because they were reserves the year before," Westphal said. "So we came together quicklyand kept improving. "With this year's team, it's been a little slower and yet if the pieces come togethercorrectly, it should be a very good team and I hope a very exciting one." The lone returning starter,DeFranco, a 5 V guard, averaged 15.8 points a game , totaled III assists and made 85 steals lastseason, the second highest figure in Western's history. "DeFranco was the sparkplug of last year and he needs to be this year, too," Westphal said. "He's an energetic competitor that hates to lose. He hasan infectious enthusiasm that will carry over to the team and the fans. "He delighted the fans last year with his quickness and enthusiasm for the game," Westphal said. "And I believe it's well worth the price of admission just to watch him play, because a player with his ability doesn't come along too often."The two other returnees, forward Todd Miles and guard David Cooper, saw limited playing time lastseason, but should see more this year. Leading the transfers are 6'4" forward Tim Nicholas, whoaveraged 15.1 points and seven rebounds per game for Bellevue Community College. Brian Paul, a6'5" forward, also averaged 15.1 points and 6.5 rebounds per game at Grays Harbor CommunityCollege. Guard Larry Tuell averaged 14.3 points pergame to help Skagit Valley Community Collegewin the state championship. Also from Skagit Valley is 6'5" forward Mike Marken, who averaged 14.8points pergame. "Marken provides instant offense. He can get very hot and throw in qujte a few quickpoints," Westphal said. Adding more height and muscle on the boards is junior Matt Valett, a 6'5". 205-pound center. He averaged 11 points and eight rebounds at Wenatchee Valley Community College.Helping on the boards will be 6'5" transfer Matt Mead from Green River Community College, 6'4" forwardStash Rowley from Yavapai Junior College in Arizona and freshman Garth Stroyan, who stands 6'6",from Oak Harbor High School. The other freshman, 6X)" guard Tim Dickerson, a local player fromBellingham High School, was a second All-State choice. "Dickerson is very quick, has a good feel forthe game and makes things happen when he's on the floor," Westphal said. "He's also shown the abilityto score more than I realized. And if it works out that we play him and DeFranco together, we would have even more quickness and scoring than we did last year at the guard positions." Completing the rosterare Western's tallest player. Drew Thurston, a 67" forward who sat-out last season, forward BrianLev was ineligible last year and guard Chris Ofelt redshirted at Concordia College in Oregon. "None ofus know what to expect," Miles said. "We may win all of our games or lose all of them. That's sort ofexciting. It should be a fun season." While the team begins to mesh its talents and personalitiestogether, Westphal said he believes they can finish in the top four in the league. ' DeFranco agreed. "Ithink we have a shot at the playoffs."

The Vikings lostto ' Southern Oregon State College 24- 13, but they also broke one school record and tied another.Freshman place kicker Jeff Gul-liford booted field goals of 19 and 40 yards to eclipse the single-seasonrecord of nine set by Jon Christie in 1978. Unfortunatelyfor ^ Western fans, Gulliford also missed twoattempts and had another blocked. The opportunistic Viking defense forced six Red Raider turnovers,including two interceptions that tied the school record of 27 thefts set in 1977. â€¢ The six totalturnovers, against the three given up by the Vikes, gave them a plus 18 take-away-ratio for the year. That ranks among the best in Northwest small-college football. Regardless of records, the loss is the bottom line. Western finished its season 2-7-1, with a league mark of 2-5-1. Not spectacular, but the best in five years. As was the pattern most of the year, the Viking defense played well, but the offense struggled.Western's running game, almost a token part of the offense .this year, only produced 31 yards on 32rushes. You needn't be a math major to grasp the significance of this stat. The formula describingWestern performances has been: as goes quarterback Dave Peterson, so goes the Viking offense.Peterson had the worst day of his Viking career, against SOSC. His 10 rushing attempts netted minustwo yards. But what really hurt his effort was the 41 passes he threw producing only 15 catches for 191yards and three interceptions. An atypical performance for probably the best quarterback Western has ever had. Western safety Tim Richard, who had one of the two Viking interceptions giving him a team-leading total of eight, said SOSC was well prepared for the Western passing game. "They scouted uswell," Richard said. "It's like they knew our play-book. They covered our receivers exceptionally well."The Vikings had the ball in Red Raider territory numerous times thanks to the turnovers the defenseproduced, but they couldn't con-sistantly put points on the board. Western did manage to break into theend zone one time. The touchdown came with 4:02 left in the game on a seven yard Mark Moran run.For Western, another season has ended. Now it's time for the coaches to review films and start therecruiting race for next year. The players will rest, heal and prepare for spring turnout where thedreams of championship bloom. Season ends abruptly By Tim Mahoney Western's women's soccerteam's quest for a national championship fell agonizingly short as the Vikings dropped the NA1ARegion I championship game to St. Mary's College lt; of Moraga, Calif. The fatal blow came in the 72nd minute when the Gaels' Sue Capo-ricci scored on a direct free kick past the Viking defense. Westernnearly caught up with a goal of its own in the last few moments. Senior Cindy Gordon sent a passwhistling just beyond the outstretched toes of senior Annette Duvall. Later, senior Paula French shotthe ball through the hands of the Gael goalieâ€”only to have it bounce off the post. Shortly after, thereferee's whistle sounded the end of Western's 16-2 season. "We put in everything we had," juniordefender Rosemarie Lamb said of the last few minutes. "We gave 101 percent." The day before. Western had stopped the University of Puget Sound 4-0, led by Gordon's two goals. St. Mary's now 9-9-3, beatPacific College of Oregon 2-1 to reach the regional final. Puget Sound beat Pacific 1-0 in overtime inSunday's consolation game. Pfueller finishes among America's 10 best By Ric Selene It's no fluke:Genevie Pfueller is for real. She proved it by placing ninth out of 257 of the nation's best at the NationalAssociation of Intercollegiate Athletics Cross Country Championships in Kenosha, Wis.. Saturday.Coach Tony Bartlett said Pfueller's ninth place was the highest finish ever by a Viking. The bestprevious finish was around 20th. "She was the top freshman finisher." Bartlett said. "There was asophomore (in front of her), and the rest were juniors and seniors, so most of them had been over thecourse before. This was Genevie's first time on the course." Bartlett said Pfueller was always in the leadpack. "She was in good company and was really running well...she was in the top 12 all the way andshowed a lot of poise." Pfueller was undaunted bv the 34-degree wind y weather as she finished 18:07over the 5000-meter hilly, frozen course. Katy Sommers (17:36) of Wisconsin-Eau Claire finished firstand led her squad to the team title. Cindy Grant, the defending national champion from Simon FraserUniversity, led the District I runners with a third-place finish while running ill. The University of PugetSound led the District I teams with third place, followed by Pacific Lutheran University (fifth) and Simon Fraser (sixth). The new All-American was happy with her ninth place. "I was just trying to get into thetop 10," she said. Pfueller said she was ahead of Grant until about the last mile. Pfueller ran most of the race with Grant's teammate, Leslie Tomassen, whom she narrowly defeated at the districtchampionship. Tomassen (seventh) and an unidentified runner finished a second in front of her.Pfueller is an All-American. And Bartlett is excited about the future of his freshman phenom. "Herexperience will help her when she goes back," Bartlett said. "She will definitely be back." FairhavenBicycle Shop SINCE 1971 This Week's Special: Turkeys! Have a great Thanksgiving Break!

THEATER PREVIEW "A Servant of Two Masters," can be seen at 7:30 p.m. on thePerforming Arts Center Mainstage. Admission is $3 for students, $4 for adults and a special discountrate for groups of children. Faculty director Maureen O'Reilly said "The play is really suitable for children,I think it is something they would like." She added, "But it is just as entertaining for adults." The playis colorful. It's a celebration of youth and life. It's kind of like a circus, O'Reilly said. "The play is prettymuch strictly entertainment. It's a celebration about everything that is important about entertainment."O'Reilly said all the magic is exposed. The backgrounds are not masked with backdrops. The audience can see what is going on backstage as well as on stage. The major character, Truffaldino (Andy Pater-son), a servant to two masters, has only two loves: women and food. He takes on two masters so hecan get enough money to buy food. One of the masters, Beatrice (Megan Johnson) is a woman dressedas a man, to win the man of her dreams. The other master, Florindo (Seth McKenzie) is in love with thefirst master Beatrice. "A Servant of Two Masters," is a modern adaptation of an Italian comedy writtenin the 1750s by Carlo Goldoni. This production is a Canadian translation of the play. (il INS MARZANO Andy Paterson plays the lead role of Truffaldino and Patti Miles is Clarice in the comedy "A Servant ofTwo Masters." Soloists and ensembles play at 'Festival of Trumpets9 By Angela Dean - - " Resoundingtrumpets fill the Performing Arts Center Concert Hall to provide a concentrated dose of one instrument. '!Vet, the trumpet players will play different styles of trumpets in different key signatures to demonstrate the wide range of music a trumpet player can play. At 8 p.m. Nov. 27, eight junior and senior trumpetplayers will join together to perform solo , and ensemble music in a "Festival of Trumpets." WayneGorder, trumpet instructor and Orchestra and Wind Ensemble director, said a variety of music will beoffered. Three of the students performing solos are senior Stan Sakamoto playing a baroque sonata byCorelli on the piccolo trumpet; Bill Bagnall, also a senior. playing a French peice by Bozza; and seniorVince Green performing a sonata by the German composer Paul Hindemith. An ensemble for eighttrumpets by American composer Fisher Tull called "Segments" will be performed along with otherpieces. Gorder said he planned a similar concert last fall and thought it gave the younger students achance to see the talents of the junior and senior trumpet players, so he chose to do another concert this year. He worked with the students to decide what music would be played from their preferences andwhat pieces would help them to learn, he said. Two of the solo performers are music performancemajors, and Gorder said Bagnall is an education major with a concentration in music. Eventually allmusic majors have the chance to perform solo or with an ensemble, Gorder said. The concert is free.SCENES Today "Kamilla,"a Norwegian movie, will play tonight.

The play depicts three unhappy marriages. In each the husband isunsympathetic to his wife's pains and frustrations. And in each, the wife becomes increasinglyoutraged as she begins to realize how her husband and society in general view women. Jennifer(PatCarl) isa sarcastic, well-bred, middle-aged woman who is incredibly bored and acts' crazy just to havesomething to do. Her second husband (Blake Grinstein) contributes to her boredom. His favoritepasttime is watching kinky home videos. Jennifer's daughter Rowena (Stephani Lourie) is a socialworker who begins to examine for the first time the issue of pornography. The first time she looks at agirlie magazine, she is appalled. As the play progresses, she becomes more and more obsessed andangry about the subject. Her husband (Mike Mitchell) fancies himself a liberal intellectual and isannoyed at his wife's concern about what he considers harmless entertainment. The third woman,Yvonne (Carol Pederson), is a school teacher who becomes frustrated and depressed about her job. The boys bring pornographic magazines to school and make lewd comments in class. Theadministration passes it off as normal. One boy even rapes a girl and Yvonne is the only person whothinks he should be punished for it. Everyone else wants to examine his mother to find out what shedid wrong. All three marriages break up by the end of the play. Rowena goes to see the movie"Snuff,"in which a women isactu-ally knifed and sawed to death in front of the camera. While she iswalking home, a man approaches her. She pushes him away, accidently shoving him in front of anapproaching train. She does not feel guilty and the audience is never sure whether she regrets whathappened. She is sent to prison, we are not told for how long. Sisterstage is Bellingham's first feministtheater.

This quarter, 167students are being advised at a 16:1 student-to-supervisor ratio. During winter quarter, 188 studentsexpect to teach.. Covington said he fears a repeat of last winter quarter when the student-to-supervisorratio jumped to 20:1 because of a lack of funding and a large number of applicants. The ratio was toohigh, he said, and the supervisors became overloaded. The supervisors are faculty members who candevote only part of their time to student teachers. Allowing teachers at the sponsor schools to take onsome of the supervision would ease some of the strain, on those faculty members, Covington said. If the supervisor structure is not changed, the problem could worsen during spring quarter. Two-hundred-and-fifty students have applied for spring, Covington said. Some of those could be turned away, however,because of low grade-point averages or lack of prerequisites, he added. Student teaching is not required for graduation, but it is needed for teaching certification by the state. Many students, at both elementaTy and secondary teaching levels, will do. two teaching assignments before graduation. Thesupervisors^are expected to visit the students at least once every three weeks. The supervisors evaluateand critique the students' teaching. Student leaders discuss committee problems By Brian MalveyStudents participating on Western's governing committees got together Thursday to work on theirsmall-group skills at a workshop sponsored by the Associated I Students and the Office of StudentAffairs. â€¢â€¢'..'.; Students fill over 100 positions in Western's extensive network of committees,councils and commissions whose members include administrators, faculty, students, staff andalumni. . Almost 50 students, many of whom are members of more than one committee, attended theworkshop, which was followed by dinner with and speeches by Western President G. Robert Rossand Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas, former dean of students at Western. : ' gt; The workshop on^'Student Participation in University Governance" was organized by AS Vice President for-Academic Affairs George Sidles with assistance from Connie Copeland of the Office of Student Affairs Sidles saidone purpose of the ' workshop was to foster solidarity and support among the many student volunteers who have no opportunity to meet as a group. *f-heyalso would-be able to identify â€¢ common problems they face as students on governing committees, he said. %. During an exercise in interpersonalcommunications led by Arthur Solomon of the communication department, students were asked toform groups of three and discuss problems they've had on committees. In one of the groups, studentDavid Gilmore spoke at length on a problem he faced two years ago on a committee with a particularfaculty member. Gilmore said the person had a chauvinistic attitude toward students, ignoring thernand refusing to take their ideas seriously. Gilmore said whenever he spoke before the council thefaculty member would gesture with rolling â€¢ eyes and tapping fingers. When all the groups of threerejoined, Gilmore retold his experience. He said he had not dealt with the problem at first and insteadwaited until it got to the "critical point," then confronted the faculty member after the meeting. â€¢ Afterthe meeting, Phil Wakefield, a student member of several-committees, said it would be a "grossgeneralization" that faculty are not open to student ideas. He said one thing a person learns throughinterpersonal communication is that they're dealing with another individual and not a category.Nevertheless, Wakefield said students should be open and assertive if their ideas are readily dis-.missed. He said they should ask why. Some students at the workshop said it was difficult to speak upat meetings because they felt intimidated. Many of those admitted these feelings were the result ofinsufficient experience with the issues being discussed. AS Secreta ry/Treasurer Yvonne Ward saidstudents on committees are at a disadvantage unless they can familiarize themselves with an issue.She said students who need information should start byasking thecommit-tee's chairman forpommittee minutes from the past year or so. Tim Baker, of the Planning Council, said backgroundinformation and an understanding of the issues involved is necessary. Sidles said students aren'talone. Many faculty members who are new to committees feel intimidated because of their inexperienceand don't fully participate. But students have the extra disadvantage of moving from a subordinatestudent-teacher relationship to a student-teacher peer relationship on governance committees, headded. Sidles said students should, with full confidence, approach the chairman for the information they heed. He also said students should not overlook the Associated Students as an information resource. Student participation in governance is important. Sidles said, because students can offer creativesolutions to oid problems. The attitudes of people who've dealt with a pa rticular issue for five or 10 years may narrow, he said, and all sides of an issue may not be considered. "Students offer a freshness," he said. , Sidles said a public, recognition of the contribution the students who volunteer to serve oncommittees was another reason for the workshop. That contribution was recognized by a dinner intheir honor.

I Ross, addressing the students, began by reminding them a system of committee participation for students did not always exist. "Students didn't have a systematic way to communicate theirfeelings," he said, "nor was there a systematic way for them to be asked." But, Ross said, 20 years ago a "great movement" to include students in the governance process began. He said one of the mainarguments made against student participation then was student interest in governance would fade."That interest has maintained itself," he added. . Ross said, committee participation is important, notonly as a symbol of the student body's role in Western's governance, but also because studentparticipation improves the quality of that governance. Ross finished by thanking the students for theircontributions. "I really wanted to say . . . you are important," he said. Douglas stressed the importancetheact of participating can have on students. He said participation can give students a sense ofthemselves and a sense of the impact they can have on the world around them. He told the studentsthat in terms of self-de velopment, they are the most important at Western. Also attending the dinnerwere Joan Sherwood, vice president for student affairs, Don Cole, vice president for business andfinancial affairs. Faculty Senate President June Ross and AS Adviser Jack Smith. Sidles said hewould work for similar workshops in the future. He said Western has tremendous intellectual resourcesto draw upon, and a need for developing skills existsjhrdughout the AS. Students interested in serving on governance committees are encouraged to contact AS board members, Sidlessaid.

Asstudents depart tomorrow to celebrate Thanksgiving, it would be well for them to offer thanks that thegrowing senti-mentamong hawks in the nation's capitol to invade Nicaragua^ up to now, has been abated. It would be equally well for them to hope the moderate voice regarding U.S. policy toward that countryremains dominant. Journalists appearing on PBS' Washington Week in Review Friday reported fearsexpressed by some Washington, D.C., insiders that a Thanksgiving invasion was being considered byhard-liners in the Reagan administration. Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger, CIA Director WilliamCasey and U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick may have been among those; contemplating such amove. A Thanksgiving invasion, the reasoning goes, would delay an expected national uproar while muchof the countryâ€” including college studentsâ€”takes a four-day break. But a more moderate group, led by Secretary of State George Shultz and National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane, reportedly is holdingthe hard-liners at bay. Recent signs, however, point to plans for an invasion. Saturday, Weinberger said the recent importation by Nicaragua of Soviet military hardware was a likely sign that the CentralAmerican nation plans to attack its neighbors. By Weinberger's own logic, the massive build-up of U.S.military forces near the Nicaraguan border in Honduras must. be a step toward a U.S. invasion. In another weekend development, President Reagan rejected an offer by Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega to meetand discuss differences between the two governments. This callous . refusal to engage in a high-leveldialogue certainly is not a move toward conciliation. The Reagan administration thus appears to bereadying the American psyche for an invasion. Militarily, it is ready. We hope it can be dissuaded. Aswe give thanks Thursday, let us also hope that at this time next year we can remain thankful that youngAmericans and young Nicaraguans have been spared the horror of killing each other. Free to read pornThe suspension of the sale of Penthouse magazine in the Student Co-op Bookstore by the AssociatedStudents Board of Directors raises many issues, not the least is the difference between FirstAmendment rights and civil rights. A conference on pornography at Fairhaven College last weekenddiscussed the instituting of civil rights ordinances that would outlaw pornography. The argument by anti-pornography groups is that pornography violates women's civil rights. The first such ordinance, passed in Minnesota, was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge. And this is for a good reason. Such anti-pornography groups, and the AS board to a certain degree, are often so caught up in what they feel isoffensive, they totally ignore the people's right to read what they want. One cannot defend or condonemovies and magazines that depict violence and illegal actions against women. But even moreimportantly, one cannot blindly throw out people's First Amendment rights and inflict their moral values onadults who have the freedom to read or watch anything they choose. The AS board must consider what is more important: The banning of materials it finds offensive or the protection of rights guaranteed to allAmericans under the U.S. Constitution.

By Kathy Abbott The Associated Students recent suspension of the. sale ofPenthouse magazine in the Student Co-op Book Store is an infringment on students' rights. Freedom ofchoice is a right people in-thc United States enjoy. The laws of our state regulate the sale of adultmaterial. The people of this state have found these laws to be satisfactory in regulating the distributionand sales of magazines such as Penthouse. Freedom of expression is guaranteed by the FirstAmendment* to the U.S. Constitution. Expression in the form of published materials is protected not.only , under the freedom of expression (speech) but also in the freedom of the press. Whether we agreewith what is expressed is not the issue. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas noted in 19.66 that"the advertisements of our best magazines are chock-full of thighs, ankles, calves, bosoms, eyes andhair to draw the potential buyers' attention to the lotions, tires, food, liquor, clothing, autos and eveninsurance policies." The point is that once you start censoring material, where do you draw the linebetween what is an acceptable and what is obscene? The U.S. Supreme Court has been dealing withthe issue of obscenity farlonger than the AS Board. If the court can not define obscenity clearly andagree as to . what forms of nudity or language can be regulated by law. why does the AS Board feel it'-has the wisdom to' censor publications sold on campus? It is the choice of individuals'as to whatthey.spend their money on'and how they spend theirtime. Noone is standing around saying "you will buythis and read it." The AS Board is supposed to represent the students of Western. It is not the purposeof the board to impose its ideas of morality on students as a whole. Obviously, some students wish tohave access to such materials orthe book store would not sell over hall of the copies ordered. â€¢ , : The board may find the sale of these maga/ines objectionable. But. it should keep in mind that other pointsof view do exist within the diverse student body of Western. Do those students on the AS Board find theaction of Madaline Murray O'Hare. who works for the cleansing of any trace of God from our governmentand airways (to the point of being ridiculous), offensive? Extremism in either direction takes awaypeoples' right to choose. LETTERS Less stable? Western Front: In response to Vaughn Bre-sheare's editorial "Reagan could repeat history," 1 would like to point out a few things he missed. Yes, it wasPresident Johnson that invaded Vietnam after promising peace. Yet it was Johnson who beat Sen.Gold water by claiming Goldwater to be a warmonger and by showing an ad on T.V. called the "DaisyAd."Thisad pictured a young girl picking a daisy and then a nuclear bomb exploding in thebackground. If you have never seen this ad, I'm sure you have seen a few different versions employedby Mondale this year. Children followed by nuclear explosions; to me the similarities are frightening.Do you actually think we would be better off with Mondale? Do you actually think we're less stable thanthe Carter years? Allen James Book banning Western Front: An open letter to the AS board: It'sencouraging to see the AS board join the most recent holy war against materials depicting women indegrading circumstances. Nevertheless, I view this as a half-hearted attempt. Even ASSecretary/Treasurer Yvonne Ward's suggestion that Playgirl and Playboy be banned doesn't go farenough. Why not push the premise to its logical conclusion and ban all literature offered in the bookstore which is degrading to women? After all, by banning only adult magazines you leave yourselves opento charges of snobbery and so, with that in mind, here's a partial list.(I'm sure you could find lots more)of offensive works found in our bookstore. The Bible is a good place to start. From the depictions of Eveand Delilah to the Whore of Babylon, this offensive book is full of misogynist rant. The entire works ofJonathan Swift and Friedrich Nietzsche are suspect with Swift's "The Lady's Dressing Room" (where thesubject matter is-described in 'he most unsavory tejms)and Nietzche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"(wherethe inferiority of women is taken for granted) deserving of special opprobrium. For the modern, up-to-datecensor, there's John Updike's "Rabbit, Run." Janice Angstrom is depicted as a pathetic creaturetying Rabbit down to a world of drudgery. The Mickey Mouse Club is the "dumb mutt's" (Rabbit'swords) favorite television show and, in a d runken stupor, she drowns their baby in the bathtub. In fact, Ithink we can push this a bit further and ban all those works which suggest that fellowship among menwithout women is a good thing, since the implied correlative is that life with women is restrictive andmiserable. This list is rather large, but here's a few: "Moby Dick." "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."Robinson Crusoe."Cannery Row"and Fen-imore Cooper's Leatherstocking novels. As you can see. the defamation and degradation of women is a major theme in world literature. Therefore, to concentratesolely on magazines is not only elitist, but in the long run ineffective, since our hallowed literary canon is infested with misogyny. Even though no scientific evidence has been offered suggesting a direct linkbetween pornography and violence against women, this is no time for our heads to overrule our hearts.And even though you may be accused by some of holding a holier-than-thou attitude, I congratulateyou for your moral courage ana urge you to continue in the venerable tradition of upholding moraldecency through censorship.

The company continued card production until World War II, when itwas forced out of business because of paper and rubber shortages. A decade later Bowman Gumresurrected the baseball card. Today baseball card collecting is the third most popular hobby in theUnited States, behind coin and stamp collecting, according to "Turning Cardboard Into Gold" by TomMcKernan. The "Sport Americana Baseball Price Guide," by James Beckett and Dennis Eckes,contains more than 175,000 prices for baseball cards. The current price guide lists the value of a 1952Topps Mickey Mantle card, in mint condition, at SI,250. The set of 1952 Topps cards, in mint condition,is listed at $7,500. The three main companies producing baseball cards today are Topps, Donrussand Fleer. The market price is $19 for the complete set of 1983 Topps cards and $14.50 for each setof Donruss and Fleer cards. "The rookie cards are usually the most valuable, especially if the playerbecomes a superstar," Inge said. Inge has two 1967 rookie Tom Seaver cards, in mint condition, valuedeach at $100. "If you keep up on baseball and know what's going on in the minor leagues, you'll have abetter idea of what players will be good.when they reach the major leagues," Inge said. A few yearsago, Inge invested in a large number of cards of Alan Trammell, Lou Whitakerand Dan Petryâ€”all formerrookies for the Detroit Tigers. With the Tigers winning the World Series in October each player hasgained notoriety. About four years ago Inge was in a bookstore in Puyallup and found a large box of oldbaseball cards, which sold for 2 cents each. He sorted through the box and purchased 350 cards.Included were 15 Pete Rose (1977) cards, currently worth about $8 apiece. Inge estimates the 350 cards will be worth about $ 1,000 within the next decade, and he paid a mere $7 for the lot. "It's a greatinvestment. Baseball cards always manage to stay ahead of the inflationary rate." Inge, a former all-state third baseman at Big Bend Community College and the official announcer at Bellingham Mariner gamesfor two years, said anyone who wants to be a collector should be a sports fan first. Inges has advice fornovice collectors: if spending hard-to-come-by quarters on baseball cards, be sure to keep themhidden from your mom. Eyewear!

Firefighters get 'physical' on track â€¢ Firefighters, from page 5 Anderson was shocked thefirefighters were smoking. It was a hot summery dayand one man already had been sent to thehospital because of the fumes. Kunnap, who had been overweight, lost 30 pounds and later quit hissmoking after he could curb his appetite. He started running around the fire station to lose weight,figuring 16 laps were equal to a mile. After losing lap count Kunnap starting carrying decks of cardstocount by. Then the deck of cards became two decks of cards. "I looked ridiculous trying to carry allthose cards," he said. After running for a time, Kunnap was asked to quit â€” "He was ruining thelawn" having worked a rut circling the hall. After the program started, all the firefighters were required torun. As a result, minor injuries occurred and today the running is voluntary. Any aerobic exercise may be done including swimming and riding the stationary bikes in the fire hall. When the program started,several fire personnel voiced uncertainty as to whether the firefighters respond as quickly to aidcalls. Kunnap feels otherwise. "More times than not have favored our position (at the track)." Once theyresponded to an aid call by running across the field, another time a student had a heart attack and theywere there to give immediate attention. Last year Margaret Paquin, a Western graduate student, worked with Robert Moffat of the physical education department in evaluating the firefighter's physicalconditioning. The Harvard Step (in which the men rapidly climb up and down stairs), sit-ups, treadmill, push-ups, skin-fold tests and the more accurate underwater weighing were done with checks on the active and resting blood pressure and pulses. , "Peoples' lives depend on their (firefighters) ability toperform."

Thisimaginative technique may help to demonstrate the black experience, which often is denied in Americanculture, said Saundra Taylor, director of Western's counseling center, at Fairhaven's third curriculumintegration seminar Thursday night. Taylor said blacks experience a "double consciousness," becauseit's difficult to integrate American and black values. Taylor said, for example, that her West Africanheritage stresses a collective outlook. West African values include sharing, obedience to authority,spiritual beliefs and a respect for the elderly and the past, she said. European values of individualism,autonomy, progress, youth, achievement and a future orientation create conflict when combinedSAUNDRA TAYLOR with her West African values, Taylor said. Part of this double consciousnesspossessed by blacks is racism, which emphasizes the sense of being a helpless victim, Taylor said.Racism can result in a toughness of character, suppression of feelings and a focus on the presenttime. A belief in luck reflects the feeling of not being in control, Taylor said. "Blacks are complex dueto different combinations of these values," Taylor said. Taylor said that despite the obvious lack ofblack students at Western, incorporating race into the curriculum is important so the majority knowsabout other cultures and how they are reflected in different values. "It seems like an irony to have acollege of ethnic studies in Bel-lingham, since part of its purpose is to reach out to the community,"Taylor said. Blacks often leave because they see Bellingham as sterile and isolated, she said. Shesaid she goes to Boston to get in touch with black culture because it's so difficult to find here.

She asked if having a college of ethnic studies and a women's studies program at Western made them separate, but e^ual. She said a single lecture or book on ethnicminorities in classes creates the perception by students that it is an afterthought, a token. In classes inWestern's psychology department, for example, no attempt is made to integrate all perspectives into the courses. Michael Burnett, who will teach Fairhaven's Cross-Cultural Perspectives class with LeslieConton, said different perspectives are important for their ability to enrich our lives, and shouldn't beincorporated into the curriculum due to a feeling of obligation or guilt. He said since their class is aperspectives class, it seemed easier than others to integrate women and minorities. Burnett said whenyou realize what you've assumed isn't necessarily so, the shock can be liberating. A goal of theirclass is to broaden the range of human possibilities by looking at the diversity of the world, he said.Anothergoal is to recognize that traveling is often narrowing, not broadening, because people tend toclose down when confronted with differences. To avoid being overwhelmed, he said we have to trainourselves to see differently. Burnett said a final goal of the class'is to get a perspective on our own livesand culture. Conton said they decided to focus on non-Western, non-industrial societies to provide aclear example that will bring the students out of their cultural biases and stereotypes. She said they willlook at specific case studies of a Middle Eastern culture, an Indian culture and male/female relationships in New Guinea. These theoretical models will provide three different ways of looking at sex roles. Theclass will move from a descriptive to a more analytical focus. The students will analyze the literature and judge the success of the anthropologists, Conton said. They decided to focus on the. economicframework of cultures, since it more closely relates to sex roles, she said. Conton said cultural changewill be introduced so the students know the cultures aren't static. Fairhaven's last curriculum integration seminar this quarter is at 7 p.m. Thursday. Nov. 29 at Fairhaven. Meredith Cary. of Western's Englishdepartment, will speak about women and literature. The toughest job you 11 ever love We admit it. Ittakes a different kind of person to be a Peace Corps Volunteer. We won't mislead you with glowingpictures of exotic lands. The hours as a volunteer are long. The pay is modest. And the frustrationssometimes seem overwhelming. But the satisfaction and rewards are immense. You'll beimmersed in a new culture, become fluent in a new language, and learn far more about the third worldâ€” and yourself â€” than you ever expected. You'll also discover that progress brought about by PeaceCorps volunteers is visible and measurable: Such as health clinics established in the Philippines;Fresh-water fish ponds constructed in Kenya; roads and schools and irrigation systems built inUpper Volta; tens of thousands of people given essential skills in farming, nutrition, the skilled trades, business, forestry, and other specialties throughout the developing world. Being a volunteer isn't foreveryone, and it isn't easy, but to the people of the developing nations who have never before had basichealth care or enough to eat, the Peace Corps brings a message of hope and change. We invite you tolook into the volunteer opportunities beginning in the next 3- 12 months in Africa, Asia, Latin Americaand the Pacific. Our representatives will be pleased to provide you with details. PEACE CORPSContact: John Rhinehardt, Campus Recruiter Career Planning Placement Old Main 280 676-3017PPPPP

McSwain, dean of the School of Education at North- western university, made a major contribution to 'modern education' on thiscampus by exerting unexcelled leadership during the Annual Summer Conference," said Dr. W. W.Haggard Wednesday as the conference ended. In a series of three inspiring addresses beforeenthusiastic audiences of teachers and administrators, Dr. McSwain effectively carried out the theme,"Progress in Educationâ€”An Answer," driving home the fact that the pupil in today's school is betterprepared than the student of the "little red school house." He offered supporting evidence for thisstatement. The problem today is not whether the modern method of education is better, for that hasbeen established and agreed to by .a vast majority of educators. At present, the task is to counteractunfavorable criticism which is' based on misinformation, and to create a greater and fuller understandingin each community as to the methods and achievements of modern education. Criticism of an adversenature comes chiefly from frustrated parents, fngrown teachers, or subversive organizations, DeanMcSwain pointed out. Schools heartily welcome constructive criticism, however, as a means ofimproving education. Commenting on the occasional lack in discipline and respect the speakerexplained that the emphasis is shifting to self-discipline, the only kind which has a lasting effect in theindividual's life. Advocating closer cooperation between teacher and parent, Dean Mc-swainsuggested the opening of all school doors to parents and the organizing of committees from PTAorganizations to suggest methods of improving classroom activity and instruction. The present situationchallenges each educator to make use of all available data, digesting it to practical advantage. Theteacher must apply knowledge in a reasonable manner, and by doing so educate the public to see theimportance of the system while he or she educates the children through its use.. Aiding in the successof the conference, Dr. Gilbert S. Willey, superintendent of the schools of Winnetka, Illinois, spoke on"The Three R's in Modern Education." Mrs. Pearl A. Wanamaker, state superintendent of publicinstruction, again demonstrated her speaking ability in a summarization of the conferenceaccomplishments in the final gathering of the two-day program. Among the forty educational leaders of the state who served as discussion leaders in the conference were Dr. Rolland H. Upton,President of the Washington Education Association, Mrs. Herman Nordfors, President of theWashington Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Max Berger, President of the WashingtonElementary Principal's Association. COLLEGIAN Vol. XLVI â€” No. 38 Western Washington College,Bellingham, Washington July 13, 1951 Aandahi Reviews Far East Career At IRC Meeting In theCampus school auditorium the International Relations club heard Elliott Aandahl speak of hisexperiences in China, the Phili-pines, and Formosa July 5. The speech was entitled, "Reminiscences ofan Agent of the United States Foreign Service.'' Beginning with China and occurences during the Redoverthrow, he wound up by covering his experiences with the Nationalists. In these places he workedfor the U. S. State Department in the Foreign Service as an agent of the United States InformationService. Later he answered questions relating to his speech. Everyone adjourned to the lounge forcoffee, where the discussion was ended. Unusual Tea Honors Stump An, unusual tea was given lastThursday, July 5, at Western Washington college when a group of 35 gathered to honor a dead treestump which was on the campus long before the administration building was built and which is now tobe removed. \ The stump, an old Douglas fir, was eight feet in diameter and 24 feet in circumferenceand was. covered with English ivy planted by the class of 1901. * . - Miss Nora . B. Cummins planned,and organized the party. Miss Cummins drew together a number of the early students and facultymembers as well as several of the present faculty for the occasion. Jack Carver, Herald photographer,took pictures for the archives. Thursday's guests met on the knoll, looked at the "remains," had theirpictures taken and then adjourned to the new auditorium building for tea and cakes. During the partyPresident W. W. Haggard explained the new structure briefly and then took the former collegians on atour of the building. Swedish Tenor Appears Here Tuesday Evening, July 16 Edward Nyborg, Swedish-American tenor,, will appear at the new music-auditorium building as part of the college's artist andlecture series of the summer quarter. The program is free to the public and will be presented Tuesday,July 17, at 8:00 p. m. Born in New York City, Nyborg was reared in Philadelphia where he received hisearly education. He began his musical education by studying the violin, but his love for singingand his appearance in the leading role of the high school operetta turned his thoughts to training hisvoice. Following his appearances as leading tenor with the Philadelphia Opera Company, he continued his work in New York at the Juilliard School of Music under the tutelage of Giuseppe De Luca andDesire Defrere, among others,, culminating in appearances under the baton of Fritz Mahler. Hisappearances in Faust, Madame Butterfly, Romeo and Juliet and in The Barber of Seville have madeEdward Nyborg a favorite tenor throughout the country.

Acoustics Held To Be Perfect No amplification is needed for public speaking in theauditorium of the new Auditorium-Music building. "As regards acoustics, this auditorium is one of thebest in which I have ever spoken," Eldridge T. McSwain, who lectured during the two-day summerconference held here Monday and Tuesday of this week, stated. The loud speakers, which have beeninstalled, are needed only when educational movies are shown McSwain's speech, picked up on a taperecorder, was recorded sharply and distWtly, even though the microphones of the machine wereplaced as far back as the second railing of the .balcony. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1951 July 13 - Page 2 ---------- Dry Your Tears . . . Lake wood Is Saved By TOMMY TUBBS We set out to cover the board of controlmeeting for two reasons First, because the controversial Lakewood issue was up for discussion; andsecond, everyone else went swimming, and we got stuck! The way it turned out though, it was worth it.Not only did we get an opportunity to observe the board in action, but we also came^way with a lesson jnfinance and "logging." TTou may wonder how the "log-* ging"* entered into the board's agenda, but then so do we. Here is the way it was. * â€” The committee Odell had appointed to determine the extent ofthe repairs needed to put Lakewood back into shape, gave their report. They found that actuallyLakewood is in fair condition. The foundation of the cabn requires a small amount of work, but the cabinitself is jn good shape. The boats, seemingly, are all right, and the bathhouse was found to be inexcellent condition. All the boathouse requires is a new floor. But, the committee also had sad news,the dock is not only bad, it is unsafe. This is the really bjg item in figuring: up the repair bill on Lake-wood. To fix the pier up properly would cost more than its use would aeem to warrant at this time. Thecommittee reported, "the carpenter, we took out to estimate the amount it would cost us fix up the pier,set a tentative figure of three thousand dollars." The board felt this is out of the question, and we foundourselves agreeing .with them. The dock must go. Dr. Cederstrom then asked t he board, "Justexactly what can we do in the way of finances?" The answer was not long in comingâ€” "Nothing." Withthe air of a man asking for an extension on his mortgage, Dr. Cederstrom then asked, "Can the ASBborrow money, on its future revenue?" President Haggard repled that, "I'm not sure, but I do not thinkso." Someone then remembered that the bookstore had borrowed money from the student (Continued on Page 3) EDITORIAL It is unfortunate that the Administration feels compelled to continue a policy of"indirect coercion" in order to insure attendance at its Artist and Lecture programs and conferencesessions. This past week has seen trie library closed during the morning when the conference oneducation was in progress. This may be very fair to the library staff who may want to attend the meetings.It is very unjust and unfair to the students who felt that the time could be better spent studying. Perhapsit is heresy to suggest that anyone has anything better to do than attend conference meetings andassembly programs, but there are many students who feel that way. Many students who are doing part-time work depend on using the research facilities of the Library during the day and whenever they can findany time. It is exasperating for these students to walk up to the library door and find it padlocked!Monday, the Administration ordered the lounge to be locked up during the conference session. It isestimated that the ASB must pay upwards from $6.00 an hour during this "lock-out" period to studenthelp, plus suffering the loss of perhaps $50 worth of business. Actually, the case may be made that"loafers" should have no place to go other than to the sessions, therefore "close the lounge!" It is anotherstory to evacuate the library which is the center of cam-plus intellectual effort. The library should be open!_ â€ž _ __ LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Bibler / ' ' V I â€¢ " 'Hey, Worthal, here's a letter for you fromthe dean of men. It's edged in black." Modern Poet* Leans Towards Solipsism By WOLFGANG VONGOETZ As a psychological poer, Conrad Aiken ranks par excellence Hmong American poets of thetwentieth century. But his view into the mind of man today is. a dim, unhappy one. He sees nothingmore than anguish, confusion, and despair due to modern man's losing struggle against the increasingcomplexities of life. Consequently, Aiken's exploration of the subconscious prompts only the blackestof skeptical interpretation. This he manifests in his poetry by consistently using themes of defeat andfutility. Of course, it would be naive not to acknowledge the romantic and even sentimental qualities thatoccasionally float to the surface in the poet's flowing musical rhythms. But these are minor and onlyserve to project the inescapable truth that though he is a romanticist, he is one without hope. For he hits the final note in skepticism when he allows his characters to lose even their egos in hopelessly strivingfor a better life. His deterministic philosophy rounds itself out into full meaning when he likens.'man toa marionette dangling by the strings of fate and moved by forces above and beyond his control. And heedges toward a gloomy solipsism when he puts forth the theory tnat the only reality is one's self and hisperceptions and that all else is not only nothingness but chaos. Holding to such a aim view of manand his place in the universe, Aiken pours forth his. tragic estimate of the human equation in some ofthe most beautifully1'melodic and image-filled lines ever written by a contemporary poet. Hispreoccupation with the power of music helps him to establish a closer relationship between poetryand music and guides him in capturing an unusually graceful and flowing lyrical style. But the beautyof the lines chiefly fulfills the task of moving the reader to a greater appreciation of the overtones andimplications of Aiken's subjective ideas and moods. Thus content and form in practically every poemare mutually beneficial in achieving a carefully colored though tragically tinged poetic conception.WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Member Associated Collegiate Press Publishedby the Associated Students of Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.Entered as second class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of March 8, 1879.Printed by Cox Brothers, Inc., Bellingham, Wash.

Dr. Haggard then asked the board about the money thebookstore had borrowed from the ASB. This, children, is where the fun began! Back in 1946, the Co-op was doing an extremely heavy business. All the veterans returning to school threw an extraordinary load on the bookstore. To help finance the acquisition of textbooks, the Co-op borrowed $5,500 fromthe ASB. This has never been paid back! Why no previous board of control had discovered this, wedon't know, but we would sure like to find but! It is not because the Co-op is broke, it is not. According to the Auditor's Report, they have $9,800 cash, in the bank, and there is another $6,900 "cush-ion" floating around somewhere, in the bookkeeping. We, for one, are going, to stop knocking the summer board ofcontrol. We don't care how they fell onto this unexpected "gold mine"; we are just happy that they did. The members of the board have no intention of throwing this newly discovered money into the repair, ofLakewood. Ths dough has put them back in business, and, they intend to stay there! Now, this is wherethe "logging" comes in. The board proposes to make an attempt to have some of the timber onLakewood tract logged off . . . the money raised from the venture would then,be used to really makeLakewood a piece of property to be proud of.

This past week seems to have a great number of shaking events. Tuesday seemed to be a big day of surprises as the American league went down to defeat to the supposed weakhitting National league, and Sugar Bay Robinsonâ€”world's middleweight championâ€”also took a bow toan unknown English boxer. This brings to mind the big reasonâ€” question if you likeâ€”why? Some ofthe questions and answers to this simple three letter word Â«f sports have been handled by experts theworld oyer, and none have come up with answers.' Many answers have been thought of by thepublicâ€”"They were overconfident and thought they might get hurt like Ted Williams did last year."They didn't get the right menâ€”they were tired from the tough, tight league play and just relaxed toomuch for this one." These statements are all fine, but they don't tell you anything. Some day I would liketo hear someone say, "He lost because the other fellow was better than he was, or the other team wasthe best." Some day someone will give an answer as such, and that will be the time everyone is waitingfor. - ' * * * Western is likely to go all out in cementing international relations next year, as we will takeboth the friends to the north and to the south on in basketball this year. Of course the Vikings have beenplaying both basketball and football agajnst the UBC Thunderbirds for a number of years, but director ofathletics Charles Lappenbusch got a letter from the University of Mexico the other day asking about acouple of games up here in December.

In so doing, thegroups are in essence asking the Associated Students to reinterpret the state constitution. In updatinga policy to grant facilities and recognize student groups, the AS found use of space by religiousorganizations might be in conflict with the constitution. According to the constitution, no stateproperty or money can be used for "religious worship, exercise or instruction." "Allowing religiousgroups to use facihties is not propagating religion. It's just allowing us to use the building," Doug Boss-cher, spokesman for the Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship, said. Bosscher said recognized Christiangroups can now use rooms free of charge for conferences and meetings. In accordance with federaland state law, religious groups do not receive funds for activities or services. Bosscher said he feels the interpretation of the constitution is the basic issue. Religious activities do exist here, but that doesnot mean they are promoted, he said. Bosscher pointed to humanities classes on campus asreligious activities in school. The AS has now formed a religious impact committee to examine how thepossible lack of recognition would affect the groups, Kevin Majkut, VU assistant director, said.Christian groups estimate they would have to spend roughly $10,000 per year for rental of campus space if the AS does not grant them recognition, Majkut said. The committee, formed of members of somecampus religious groups, an Activities Council representative and Majkut, will distribute aquestionnaire to campus Christian organizations asking about possible consequences to theirfinances and membership. The questionnaire also will try- to determine if any off-campus alternatives forthe groups exist. In Western's Attorney General Tom Anderson's opinion, Mud stunts progress of'Project Intertie' by BOB SIMS Soggy weather might dampen plans for completing "Project Intertie" ontime, John Williams, building contractor for the project, said Wednesday. "Intertie," a $595,000facelifting of area surrounding the Arts Building and Carver Gym, was scheduled to be finished Feb. 6. Sloppy ground around Miller Hall and the Arts Building probably will stall asphalt and brick paving untilspring quarter, he said, "but the major part of the project, laying a pipe system, is done." "We needstable ground to lay brick on . . . it's such a gooey mess right now after thawing," Williams, who ownsWhatcom Builders Inc., said. The project, started last frine, is a wide-ranging construction plan thathas: Inside Roller-nuts Skateboarding is a national craze, and Western has its share of enthusiasts. Page 3. Evaluation? A move to publish teacher evaluations by students is on by the AssociatedStudents. See page 4 for a student vs. teacher debate on the subject.

Drink up . . â€”Removed post pilings supporting a utility system dating back to the early 1900s,replacing them with concrete piling that holds a 12-inch pipe carrying water, sanitary and storm sewer lines; â€”Converted the Garden Street 8-inch pipe system, which is fed by central campus, to a 12-inch line that's more capable of handling the increased utilities. A storm drain pipe slipping on its piling,originally helped give impetus to "Intertie," H.A. "Barney" Goltz, Western planning officer, said lastweek. He couldn't pinpoint what caused the pipe to slip initially. "I suspect it could've been anything: anearthquake, act of God, design or construction problem," he said. "There were so many factors that you can't assess responsibility." To repair the slipping drain pipe, approximately $110,000 was spent onpile-driving steel pre-cast beams (supported with concrete) 15 to 20 feet down, and securing them inbedrock, facility and development sources said. A layer of peat, which covers most of south campus,was apparently responsible for breaking up posts and causing utility lines to sag, which in turn causedthe drain pipe to slip. "It was a troublesome area to build on," Goltz said. "Se-home Hill and the hillbehind Ridgeway dorms are actually two small mountains, the valley in between them has been filled by decomposed, compressed leaves and dust through the years," he said. Peat was the residue. Gradingthe west-central area and planting trees, shrubs and lawn have yet to be completed for the project."guidelines for recognizing student groups must apply to all on a non-discriminatory basis." "ButAnderson set up a paradox," Majkut said, by pointing out that no state money or property can be usedfor religious activities. This conflict led the AS to reexamine its recognition policy. The revised policy will go into effect after spring quarter. Bosscher said, "It is not fair to make one group pay (for the facilities) because of their religious affiliation. We're being denied our right to associate." SQUAUCUM SUNSET â€” These sailboats, moored in Bellingham's Squalicum harbor, seem to be waiting for a chance to beused.

The board's proposal charges that nearly $80,000 infunds allocated for student jobs last year were not spent for that purpose. In addition, during the yearbefore last, more than $50,000 was not spent on student jobs. A trend of underspending on studentemployment has developed in the last few years, according to the AS proposal. In 1972-73, accordingto the board Western actually overspent for student jobs by $5,000. "We are concerned about it enoughto want to establish a task force" to study it, Bob Anderson, former AS Board member and author of theproposal, said at Monday's Senate meeting. Should the task force be set up, it would study the studentemployment spending patterns and make recommendations to the senate. Several senate members said the study should be handled by one of the committees in the Continued on page 2 ---------- Western Front - 1978 January 20 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, January 20; 1978 Trustees view summer fees, governance by JOYCE ANSLEYStudents could pay less to attend Western's summer session under a new summer fee scheduleapproved by the Board of Trustees last Thursday. Vice President Donald Cole said a new single feeschedule will replace the old system which was based on the academic year plan. A summer quarter fee of $20 per credit for up to nine credits will be billed. Students with over nine credits must pay the full$197. Cole said, "Under the present academic year structure summer students pay about $25 per creditnot including extra fees." The alteration will bring Western into conformity with Eastern and CentralWashington Universities. The board also learned Thursday that Western must construct a $157,000three-story elevator to meet federal guidelines for the handicapped. It is part of Phase II of a $1 millionproject to renovate campus buildings so the handicapped will have equal access to programs, JoanStewart, Western's Affirmative Action officer, said. Phase II, costing $900,000, depends on a 1978legislative session to be funded and completed by the 1980 federal deadline. Phase I, already funded for $130,000, is responsible for new wheelchair ramps, conversion of restrooms, and automated doorinstallation in several campus buildings. Barney Goltz, Western Planning Officer, said the total costof the renovation is less than one per cent of the $122 million value of Western's physical facilities. Theboard also received as an informational item University President Paul Olscamp's "Proposal #2" forWestern governance alterations. Olscamp said he composed the new proposal to accommodate themajor suggestions received from faculty, students, staff and administration in response to his originalproposal in October. Olscamp requested further response from the four constituencies before Feb. 15, so a final proposal could be submitted to the board in March. Herb Hersey, a representative of Western Washington Retirement Association (WWRA), reported on organization efforts at Western. Herseysaid the WWRA hoped to gain board support for House Bill 920, legislation which would increase theincomes of retired faculty. The bill would increase supplements to help keep retirement incomes at the cost of living, he said. Olscamp told Hersey he would do what he could to lobby for the bill in Olympiaon behalf of the WWRA. Faculty faults procedures Council criticizes Olscamp . University PresidentPaul Olscamp was censured by the Faculty Council Monday. The Council passed a resolution sayingOlscamp violated governance procedures in introducing a new governance proposal to the Board ofTrustees without first presenting it to the Faculty, Faculty Council Chairman Ed Stephan, said. Olscamp said he had not seen the resolution and did not want to comment on it. Faculty Council member BobBalas said many faculty members disagreed with two provisions of the new proposal. Many were against Olscamp's and Vice President Talbot's ex-officio membership on a proposed executive committee whichwould meet quarterly, Balas said. Balas said some faculty feel Olscamp's presence inhibits discussionat Faculty Council meetings. Stephan said many Council members are against having an executivecommittee. Some also disagreed with Olscamp's proposal that each academic unit be included incouncil representation, Balas said. Stephan said he talked to Olscamp after the resolution passed."Olscamp said he wouldn't accept any proposal that left departments unrepresented" he said Olscampimplied, he said, that current area representation might be acceptable, though. Olscamp introduced thenew proposal to the board as information Jan. 12. The proposal was intended to accommodate the majorsuggestions received from campus groups in response to his original proposal last October. Stephansaid the resolution criticized Olscamp's bypass of the faculty, not the substance of the proposal. Thenext Faculty Council meeting is at 4 p.m. Jan. 30. Situation could change, however Western hurt littleby freeze so far by SUETAYLOR The state's hiring freeze hasn't made a dent in Western's budgetyet, University Controller Donald Sturgill said recently. The freeze came from an executive order fromGov. Dixy Lee Ray and allows only half of vacated job positions to be re-filled. So far, at Western, thishas meant not re-hiring for six positions, Sturgill said. The total amount saved since the freeze went into effect is $7,244. Western's entire budget is $22.5 million. "It hasn't been a real big money-saver,"Sturgill said. But if it were to continue for the next 18 months until the next scheduled legislative session it would save much more money, he said. The work load doesn't diminish, however, when positionsare cut back, Sturgill added. "Eventually, it could become quite a problem." The freeze is applicable tothe library, research, student Position Open Board of Directors Position #10. At-Large Position open forAppointment Now. Demanding and interesting work.

He said he expects the freeze to be aproblem for everyone. The University of Washington probably will turn over amounts in the $100,000-area, he said. The money Western saves from the freeze is stored in an unallotted reserve, Sturgill said.Western can ask for the money after the freeze is over, he said.

Employment fund underspent; money goes for 'paper clips'Continued from page 1 university's governance system â€” either the Business and Finance Council(BFC) or the College Services Council (CSC) â€” instead of setting up a separate task force. ASPresident Dave Clark disagreed with this, however. "What I'd be afraid of is that it would just get caughtin a committee" and nothing would be done about the problem, he said. "I don't think it can be workedout at those levels," Don't Miss It! BOB ANDERSON Anderson said. "In order to have a fair, objectivehearing, it needs a special forum," such as the task force. In 1974-75, the Financial Aids Committeestudied the problem, Wayne Sparks, financial aid director, said at the meeting. "We were concernedabout the problem," he said, but quite frankly, we weren't sure what to do about it." The proposal asksthat the nine members of the task force include a chairman appointed by Mary Robinson, vicepresident for student affairs, Sparks, Greg Webley, AS vice president for external affairs, and onestudent and one faculty member from the Academic Coordinating Committee, the BFC and the CSC.The senate is expected to vote on the proposal Jan. 30. Essentially, the problem of underspending forstudent jobs is due to the rise of College Work-Study funds Western has gotten during the last fewyears, University Controller Don Sturgill said. The money for regular student jobs comes out ofWestern's budget, whereas funds for work-study jobs come from the federal government. Therefore,Western saves money when it employs students on work-study, Sturgill said. Sturgill said that between last year and the year before, work-study funds increased $100,000 for Western. This year, work-studyfunds will increase another $50,000, he said. As the funding for work-study has increased, the amountof money spent on student employment has decreased. "Obviously you're going to take a student forfree rather than pay for him," Anderson said of the situation. "Not everybody can qualify for work-study."A large number of students don't apply but need funds to get through school. That doesn't mean theirneed is any less," he said. By spending less money on student jobs, Anderson said, "you're denyingpeople (other than work-study recipients) the | right to work on campus." Although the trend is to Ispend less on student jobs, the money that wasn't spent for this purpose was spent on other | things,Sturgill said. To begin with, he said, the I money various departments are I allocated by the universitygoes I into two categories: salaries fori permanent faculty salaries and fluids for the operation of each [department. Funds for student jobs cornel out of these operating funds asj well as money for goods ancservices (paper, pencils, etc.),J travel, equipment and personalf services, Sturgill said. Each departmentis allowec to spend its allocated funds an} way it wishes to. If funds art not spent on student jobs, foiinstance, they will be spent O'I one of the department's othe]| categories. "As it is now, they under]expend on student employment and over expend on papeif clips," Anderson said of tht budget flexibility."In my mind| there's too much flexibility." Currently, Anderson said, nd way is available to tell wherJ themoney goes that is not beinjj spent on student jobs. ---------- Western Front - 1978 January 20 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, January 20,1978 Western Front 3 Sidewalk surfers; reborn thrill byRUDYYULY Skateboarding isnot what it used to be. With new and sophisticated equipment available â€” hard urethane wheels forspeed and softer urethane wheels for control, precision bearings, fully adjustable trucks and wider,stronger boards â€” it has become a fast, competitive and dangerous sport. Sue Olson, a licensedpractical nurse in the emergency ward at Bellingham's St. Luke's Hospital, said skateboard injuries arecommon. "We hate them," she said. "Generally, they'r the same type of injuries that motorcyclistsget. "You've got to remember that those things go about 15 to 20 miles an hour," she explained, "andwhen you've scraped all the skin off one whole side â€” arm, side, hip and leg â€” it hurts." Brokenbones and permanent tattooing caused by imbedded gravel are also fairly frequent, she said. Doesn'tstrike your fancy? Oddly enough, the threat of bodily injury is like icing on the cake for many hard-coreenthusiasts. Dan Chamberlain, freshman architect major whose passion is skateboarding, put it this way: "Sometimes, when you're really going good, you feel just like you're weightless. It's like you'reflirting with death. You just flirt with it, and then you're off. It feels fantastic." If you think that talkingabout the possihility of death is a little strong, here are some facts that might interest you: The speedrecord for a skateboard in a slalom competition is 44 mph. The speed record for a skateboard in adownhill competition is more than 50 mph. When you consider the skateboarder is standing on a pieceof wood, less than three feet in length and one foot in width, approximately four inches from the hardground, Chamberlain's comment about "flirting, with death" becomes much more 'plausible. JackPouchet, a junior technology major who also loves skateboarding, has a different attitude towards thesport. "Anyone can do it," he said. "You can be overweight, underweight, out of shape â€” it doesn'tmatter. Skateboarding embodies a lot. It's just yourself against yourself. Just simple self-improvement. That's why so many people get into it." As for skateboarding on campus, Sgt. Walt Springer of campussecurity said "common sense" rules apply. "About the only problems we've had this year withskateboarding are with young kids from off campus skateboarding in the buildings." Springer advised that riding in the street is illegal, and that good equipment is invaluable. All three experiencedskateboarders agreed with Springer about equipment. "These young kids buy cheap equipment,"Pouchet said, "and they wind up getting hurt." The biggest problem with inexpensive boards is a thingcalled "speed wobble." It's caused by loose bearings in the wheels (standard on cheap boards), andfeels like you're riding along a railroad track. If you're traveling fast and speed wobble hits, you're in for awipe-out. Pouchet said a safe and good quality board can be bought for "upwards of $40." Also, if you're really serious (or scared), it's a good idea to invest in a helmet and some padding. Pads are required atmost skateboarding parks (the nearest is in Burnaby, B.C.,). To quote Pouchet, however, "The bestreason for all the pads is pain." "Another good piece of skateboard terminology is 'insane' â€” you hearthat quite a lot." â€”Mike Retasket, Western Freshman Skateboarding Enthusiast Photos by CharlesNacJce ---------- Western Front - 1978 January 20 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, January 20,1978 Editorial â€¢ â€¢ Suds opera If you want to see melodrama at its finest, don't tune in "Mary Hartman" or "All My Children." Instead turn your attention to the continuingsaga of "A Liquor License at Western." Opponents of a drinking establishment stand on their soapboxesand foresee doom and destruction for the city of Bellingham, local tavern owners and perhaps even a fewsouls lost to the devil of alcoholism. But worse then the feeble-minded, over-sensational reasoning thatkeeps us from getting a liquor license at Western is that our own university president is playing politicsinstead of representing the students. Bowing to the interests of the Bellingham community, UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp is holding back his support for the license until Mayor Ken Hertz changes hismind and supports it also. This time, it seems the interests of local tavern owners, church organizationsand the city mayor are more important than those of nearly 10,000 students, whom the decision affects.If the interests were for the good of the campus, it might not be so frustrating. But taking a closer look atthe reasoning behind the opposition reveals which concerns are really at stake. Tavern owners areopposed to a campus liquor license. But they haven't considered what kind of a threat a campus liquorestablishment actually would be. Beer and wine would be sold only from noon to 7 p.m. You hardly cancall these prime-time business hours for most taverns. Hertz has said before he is against a liquorlicense for Western because he wants to avoid the spread of taverns into residential areas adding thatBellingham has enough taverns. A place that sports seven coffee shops, a bookstore, library, post office,a band and presents sDeakers. concerts and movies weekly somehow doesn't fall into the causal idea ofa residential area. Bellingham does have a lot of taverns, but how many of them can you go to and return from in the space of one hour? Opposition to new taverns and bars by church organizations is as old asthe Women's Christian Temperance Union. No one seems to take them seriously if it means establishinganother money-making enterprise for the Bellingham community. The application for beer and winelicenses can't be sent in unless Olscamp signs it. But it is obvious where his sympathies he. In themeantime, the university is held in limbo until Hertz hands down his decision. The students have to waitfor the outcome like a Saturday or Sunday between episodes of "Days of Our Lives." Will the students'interests be represented? Will Mayor Hertz succeed in saving the unknowing, innocent campuspopulation from certain destruction? Will Olscamp work for the concerns of 10,000 students whose $197pay his salary? Tune in next week. But remember, soap operas don't have happy endings. â€” SueTaylor A piece of green A radical environment group was on campus last week, but few people noticed.They carried no banners and disrupted no people. They came to talk, but few people came to listen. Theyare Greenpeace and they're out to save the earth. They are radical, indeed, but have a new type ofrevolutionaries: they still buck the system, wear long hair and are "into" counterculture living. They arethe radical that Webster's New World Dictionary defines as "fundamental; favoring besic change." Still,they're not the radicals of the '60s, who hide behind slogans and curse at administrators with fistsclenched and eyes afire. Greenpeace members are radicals like no others. Without trepidation, they willplace themselves between a whaling boat's harpoon gun loaded with a 250 lb. explosive (a bomb) and anexhausted and confused, surfacing sperm whale. They're a radical group whose members will also endure the rigors of the Arctic to confront the Canadian sealers. Greenpeace is protesting the taking of 180,000seal pelts (through the mass-murdering of young seals) because their research reveals a harvestablepopulation of only 200,000. Canadian officials contend 300,000 baby seals exist. The group recorded abizarre incident in Newfoundland last year when one member handcuffed himself to a bundle of seal peltsbeing loaded aboard a Canadian icebreaker. The captain of the ship instructed his crew to drop and raiseagain (repeatedly) the pelt load and their newly-acquired "charge." Fortunately for â€¢the Greenpeacecavalier, his handcuffs broke, still, it was imperative that the man be immediately treated for hypothermia. Greenpeace is more than a boat full of hippies singing songs to the whales and handing out "Save thewhales" buttons to Russian and Japanese whaling crews. They are a radical group, who in the words ofSeattle member Bruce Hoeft, are "standing up for what they believe in." Little do we know it, but we needpeople like the crusaders of Greenpeace to tell us (like Lenny Bruce tried to so many years ago) "whatwe're doing wrong." Certainly, Greenpeace is active environmentalism. Yet it is an environmentalism witha game plan: a tactic of nonviolent confrontation; a suitable synonym (in my estimation) forcommunication. They wish only to be heard â€” to slow the pace a bit and strive towards a saneinterpretation of the laws of nature. â€” Kevin Baker Should students grade their professors? No Arecent proposal for evaluating Western's faculty in a handbook sponsored by the Associated Students has drawn praise and opposition. Should the classroom performance of professors be measured bytheir students? /es by DAVID ZffiGLER Student evaluation of teaching is a serious business. Tenure,promotion and merit increases for faculty all require evidence of teaching effectiveness; last year thelegislature came close to making salary increases contingent on evidence of good teaching. It iscurrently the policy of WWU to rely almost solely on student evaluations to ascertain teachingeffectiveness. Martin Reeves' proposal would be a separate evaluation, but it would undoubtedly have acontaminating effect on the quarterly in-class evaluations used for assessing faculty. A professor whoranked low in a published list would be more likely to receive low ratings from students in his or hercourse. To put the shoe on the other foot: How would students react to a proposal to circulate within adepartment the grades of all the students taking courses from members of that department? Studentswould be justified in fearing that such information would influence grades; students might be judged notsolely for their actual Forum performance but also for what they had done in the past. In fact there is alot of research that demonstrates that this is exactly what happens when teachers have such information. Fear of such contamination may concern faculty more than students, but another aspect of theproposed evaluation is of direct concern to both. What is it that will be measured? Teaching effectiveness or popularity? One frequently cited study found that students ranked highest those teachers from whomthey learned the least. A colleague of mine recently received evaluations from last quarter. His overallrating was not high. A common complaint was that he continued to lecture a few minutes after the clockpassed 11:50 AM. I find it hard to believe that five or ten years from now his students will considerthemselves less well educated because of a two minute delay in getting to lunch. Yet complaints likethat have a big effect on a teacher's rating. Other people's opinions are important to all of us in reachingdecisions â€” what courses to take, what restaurants to eat in, what cars to buy. But we also knowenough about the people we ask to evaluate their opinion. Personally, I trust my auto mechanic'sjudgment more on what car to buy than on where to eat. But published evaluations of teachers will give s no clue as to sources. Even if a truly random sample for every class could be selected, not everyone inthe sample would respond. Who would? The malcontents, the grumblers, those with grudges? Or thosewho did well in the course and were flattered bv high grades? Grade inflation has affected students aswell as teachers. Rarely on the presently used forms does a teacher receive the lowest scores. On afive-point scale, the responses are all 4s or 5s. But this permits a lot of mischief by one or two unhappystudents. Just a few students marking the lowest response can move a teacher way below the median.Continued page 5 column 3 by MARTIN REEVES There are several uses to which student evaluations of faculty might be put. From a student perspective, one of the more compelling applications would be as a tool to be used in deciding what classes to take. Granted, there are times when a student simply musttake a certain class, but I'd venture that no student â€¢ would leave Western without having madechoices among alternatives. The unfortunate thing about this situation is that the choices are usuallymade on the basis of insufficient information. There are currently three alternatives in choosing amongclasses (and/or between instructors). First, the guess method. It amounts to: "pick a prof, any prof."Used all too often. Second, the first-hand investigation. Visit one of the teacher's classes, look at theexams and talk to the teacher. A good method but used very infrequently; there's no reason to believethat that situation.will change. Third, the highly-touted "grapevine method." Ask a friend if they havetaken this or that class from this or that teacher. The answers can range from being critical, objectiveanalyses to second-hand impressions. But the point is . . . you make the decision on some basis; if allyou have is hearsay, then that's what's used. Moreover, if you get one person's opinion, that's usually it.If you get two, cornucopia. The proposed faculty evaluation program is a fourth alternative. With regard to"grapevine choice" it should be noted that a survey of student opinion would provide much greaterobjectivity. This is due to the nature of the survey (an objective document as opposed to the necessarilysubjective "grapevine method") and to the greater number of responses available. I would much rathertake a course on the basis of say, thirty opinions, which calculate performance of faculty on severalestablished criteria.

Old 'pick-a-prof method soon to become obsoleteContinued from page 4 last week's Front, "Faculty evaluations have no demonstrable validity." This isan unfortunate statement, first, since it is "demonstrably" false and second, because it does notcorrespond to his own previous research on the issue. (See "Content Validity and the Uses of StudentRatings" by Robert M. Thorndike and Carol A. Waldram) For example, "The student rating an instructorat the end of the quarter or semester generally has spent 30 to 60 hours observing and interacting withthe instructor in the classroom. This is a source of information on the habitual classroom behavior offaculty which should not be wasted," (p.2, op cit) There is nearly overwhelming agreement amongresearchers that student evaluations are a valid indication of teaching competence. Arguments to thecontrary (e.g. assaulting students' subjectivity) are simply not supported by the evidence. Thisconclusion is supported by the following statement approved by the Council of the AmericanAssociation of University Professors in June 1975 as a part of its policy statement on teachingevaluation. "Student perceptions are a prime source of information from those who must be affected iflearning is to take place. Student responses can provide continuing insights into a number of theimpportant dimensions of a teachers efforts . . . " ("Statement on Teaching Evaluations," AAUPBulletin, Vofc 61, 1975, p. 87.) Before closing this article I would like to mention a few other possibleuses of a faculty evaluation. First, f student opinions can be quite valuable to the instructor for self-improvement. The limitations on self-evaluation are obvious â€” a point implicit in schools' gradingsystems. Student evaluations of faculty when used in conjunction with evaluations done by othermembers of a teacher's department might be very instructive. A second possible application of faculty evaluations could be in their use in decisions on tenure, promotion and merit pay increases. Of thevarious parties concerned, who would have greater expertise on an instructor's abilities in the classroom than the students? As has already been noted, students spend up to 50 hours in a classroom with theteacher. Contrast this to the number of times you have seen two professors in the same class. Apublished evaluation provides a good alternative to the current practice of either choice by default orchoice on the basis of unrepresentative opinions. we use and Â©commend fedkei poducts we pierceears openmon-sat. oay stvi!bge.63 -9292 b^fe^f^fieg^ iAds loer pc6 l service X fold ueurifr to Cull w atUfcrlC Utaf?!

Flu hitting Western in epidemicproportions by DAVID VAN VEEN The flu is nothing unusual for winter, but it is here in epidemicproportions. An increase in illness occurs during winter months, Herb Anderson of Seattle KingCounty Public Health said, "and we are experiencing the usual winter series." Two types of flu havebeen isolated, Texas A strain with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever and Victoria AStrain with upper respiratory symptoms such as coughing, sore throat,, shortness of breath and fever.The flu poses no serious problems, but Dr. John Knudsen of St. Luke's Hospital warns that people withrespiratory problems "should be careful and watch for pneumonia." "The epidemic is national and hasnot yet reached its peak. It started in late December in Whatcom County and is expected to last sixto eight weeks." There has been an increase in the number of flu-related complaints at Western in thelast two weeks, Debbie Flickin-ger, of the student health center, said. These include symptoms ofnausea, vomiting, head aches, muscle aches, fatigue, sore throats, shortness of breath and otherrespiratory problems. Viral flu has no cure. Flick-inger advises students showing symptoms to stay inbed, drink plenty of fluids, eat properly and take aspirin or Tylynol for fever, aches and pains. The flu can last two to seven days, but bouts lasting two to three days are common.

Force as much of these fluids aspossible to replace those lost from the body and also to settle the stomach. Flickerger advised. After 24to 48 hours, try to tolerate foods such as milk, ice cream, bread and cereal. A person might feel betterafter two or three days, but it takes several days to fully recover, Flickeringer said. The best prevention of illness is to eat properly and get the proper amount of rest, she said. Should a student miss a testbecause of illness, the health center will issue a sick pass when the student returns. Students areresponsible for letting their professors know that they are ill and will be absent. TAKE THREE ASPIRINâ€” Health Center officials are seldom lonely this month. Two flu strains have bit the campus, sendingstudents flocking to the center. The nurse's prescription: bedrest. Evaluation to cost $5,000 Facultygrading coordinator by JESSIE MILUG AN The creation of a job to coordinate the proposed studentevaluation handbook will be considered by the AS Board of Directors tonight. "The faculty evaluationhandbook hinges on the acceptance of this job," Martin Reeves, AS board member said.

The $300 per quarter position requires a full-time student with a knowledge ofstatistics and evaluation, Reeves said. The handbook would rate professors' quality of instructionbased on student responses to questionnaires. Reeves said he will ask the board of directors to use AS funds for the salary and the estimated $5,000 printing costs for the handbook. If the handbook isapproved, the coordinator will be responsible for designing the questionnaire, mailing it to studentsandp compiling the results of the evaluation in a format fori publication. Reeves suggested thequestionnaire not be distributed! until late spring quarter. "Thisl would allow freshmen. thel chance toget to know more ofl the faculty," Reeves told board| members last week.

On Friday, Dec. 9 Smith, a freshman, had just finished neatly packinghis Austin America with everything he needed for Christmas vacation. As a final act, he picked up hisbriefcase containing bank books, $90 cash, car and motorcycle records, land deed, diary key,university records and every other document he'd ever collected. He carefully placed the case in thetrunk, and tenderly closed the lid. He should have slammed the damn thing shut instead. Somewherebetween Higgin-son parking lot and the Campus Security building, the trunk popped open and the caseslipped out. "The briefcase contained most everything I owned," Smith said. "I had things in there that Imight never replace." Smith said he stopped at Campus Security to buy a parking sticker before heleft Western. He needed his auto registration, which was also in his briefcase. "But when I went to getit, the trunk was open and the briefcase was gone," Smith said. "It was very aggravating losing thecase," he said. "I had grown to depend on it and had spent a lot of time getting everything in order."Smith said he backtracked as soon as he noticed the trunk lid open, but could only find a pair of tennisshoes. After numerous efforts to locate it, Smith finally gave up his search, believing the case to bestolen. New lounge for women in Miller Hall Women older than 25 can now meet and eat lunch in aspecial lounge in Miller 263.

It is designed to bring them together in a relaxedatmosphere and help them utilize Western's services. Weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the center is open and a resource woman is there to help and advise. Joan Gregg, one resource woman, said shehopes students will bring a sack lunch and get acquainted. A small library might be started in thelounge, she said. Activities and programs will reflect the women's interests. "Whoever picked it up hasshown no sign of returning it, and I don't think I'll ever get it back," he said. "I guess I've learned the hard way," Smith said, "I don't need the briefcase anymore." But Smith would still like the briefcase returned, or at least the documents inside. Anyone with information can contact Smith at 676-4367. "matter ofpermanent record." He decided to run for the council in a "responsive moment" when he found that the fourth ward council seat hadn't been filed for on the last day. A veteran of U.S. foreign and militaryservice, Drake said he ran because he realized the need for a good and responsibe democracy. Drakesaid he wanted to restore a sense of credibility in local government. One of Drake's accomplishments while on the council was reforming the Community Development Committee. This committee went onto apply for the Community Development Block Grant Program which was evantually singled out tomake improvements in the lettered streets neighborhood. As far as running for office in the future,Drake said that he is not averse to running again.

Wives: Dare to earn more Marriedwomen might have trouble breaking into management positions according to a recent study prepared byLois Peterson, assistant professor of business and economics. "Personnel people and people in aposition to assign jobs do not look at the women's capability first, but mostly at her ability to adapt,"Peterson said. She found in most instances employers were very concerned whether a husband wouldconsent to relocate if his wife were given a promotion to another area. "In most cases there is a maskedresentment by husbands towards their wives' careers," Peterson said. Even if a husband is supportive ofhis wife's ambition, he might still resent her new role. It damages his ego to see his wife in the limelight if he is not in such a noble position as she, Peterson said. But moving is not the only reason women arehaving a difficult time climbing their way to the top of the business world. Another is the fear of ruiningtheir marriage by earning more money in a more prestigious position than their spouse, Peterson said.Spring financial aid less certain MISTER, MOVE OVER â€” The climb to the top of the business world isrough for women, and sometimes rougher for their husbands. For students needing help with springquarter school expenses, the Financial Aid Office has some money still available. "Essentially, for those students now applying for the 78-79 academic year, we have available the National DirectStudent Loan Funds (NDSLF), and limited work-study to fill their needs," Wayne Sparks, financial aiddirector, said. The NDSLF is a long term, low interest loan which the student isn't required to pay untilhe or she has been out of school for nine months, Sparks said. Financial aid received a surplus of$7,354 for the spring quarter, which was given to the 1215 Cornwall Ave. Across T H m 1 From LeopoldJprbaven -JOHN STEINBECK'S THE ACTS OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS NOBLE KNIGHTS Services for Westerner NOW IN PAPERBACK 734-5061 Open 9 p.m. Memorial services were yesterday forLorraine Zimmerman, former Western student, at United Methodist Church in Des Moines, WA.Zimmerman, 24, whose skeletal remains were found Dec. 28, 1977 near a gravel pit in Essex County,VA., had been missing since July 16. Calvert Delano, Essex County sheriff, said definite signs of skulldamage were found, although the cause of death is uncertain. A fund in Zimmerman's name has been set up by the King County Assn. for Retarded Citizens, in memory of her involvement withprograms for the retarded. She spent much of her last three summers working in camps and schools for the retarded, her father said. She had hoped to make this work her career, he said. Zimmerman'sstruggle with crippling nerve damage was her inspiration to work with the handicapped, he added. Thedamage resulted from an undetermined illness during her early childhood, affecting work-study programsto cover expected costs. The work-study programs, with a few exceptions, have been closed to newstudents for spring quarter. "We're making just limited additional committments of work-study for1students who are now applying for spring quarter," Sparks said. The application deadline is April 1,1978. The office has also received financial aid information bulletins and applications for the 78-78academic year, Sparks said. Sparks said the applications for 78-79 have been simplified from threerepetitious forms to two basic forms. "We have made an effort to simplify Western's application too, and we have eliminated some of the questions that are already present on the other forms," Sparks said.Hopefully this process will benefit the students, he said. Cathy Dudik, Student Employment Centerdirector, said, "Students should be encouraged to apply for some financial help, so that they don'thave to worry about the upcoming year."

The varmints got themselves a lawyer and turned the noose into a loophole. Whenlast we left this column it appeared that ABC had run too many commercials in its presentation of"Nashville" on Jan. 8. The National Association of Broadcasters limits commercial time to 9 minutesand 30 seconds per 60 minutes during prime time. The limit extends to 16 minutes after 11 p.m. ABCand its local affiliate KOMO are pledged to the code. "Nashville" in its last hour and 15 Outtakesminutes had 17 minutes ol commercials, promotions and public service announcements. The movie'sfinal scene ran longer than 15 minutes. Thus ABC was apparently over the NAB code limit of 16 minutes per hour limit. I came to this conclusion after receiving information that the code limit included "all non-programming time" from a KOMO spokesman. Since then I have learned that the term "all non-programming time" isn't all inclusive. Public service announcements and promotions for the sameprogram are excluded from the code definition of "all non-programming time." Most television stations run their public service messages late at night. Virtually all stations do not air them during prime time."Nashville" was stuffed to death with commercial time. But it might be a solace to know that it was donelegally. Rats. For a brief time there, I felt just like Zane Grey. The next time I try and slap leather with anetwork I'll let you know.

The mostexciting things are done by Richard Margolis. He takes a simple composition of trees in the dark innercity, adds a little blur and creates a sense of cold, vibrant loneliness. His variations do not alwayscome across, though. One photograph of parked cars in front of a building and fence posts, vibratingwith lights in clouds and trees leaves a cluttered feeling. He likes to photograph trees, using blur tocreate motion. Margolis has too much of this subject matter. The only variation is in composition. One simple picture of a tree trunk and leaves comes across quite well, but others using this idea are eithertoo complicated or incomplete.

This idea of graphic motion is intense to the point of motion sickness. When hedoes the same thing with highway guard rails it gets rather point less. These photographs appear torepresent Rod Slemmon's pic ture taking style rather than photographic interpretation. Jeff Wolin is froman old school of thought.

Felix's desperate attempts to make contact with the opposite sex are tragically comic. A go-go dancer, a photographer's assistant, and even a nymphomaniac reject his advances. Randy Carlas Allan Felix is far superior to the rest of the cast in conveying the humor of the script. His comic timing is excellent and, as a result, he steals the show. The Ram offers a small, intimate stage space whichis both an asset and a weakness. The small area allows the audience to be drawn closer to the action.This is especially effective during the many fantasy sequences, where special lighting and sound fillthe entire theater and create a theater-in-the- round experience. Director William Dunagan works wellwith a stage that is normally the Ram's disco dance floor. The set is adequate, not at all cluttered asmight be expected. The disadvantage of the smaller space became apparent through the performance of Jayne Muirhead as Linda Christie. Limited to the dimensions of the Ram, Muirhead'sperformance closed up, as she blocked herself out, visually and audibly, in many of her movements. The script is very fast paced, and at times it seemed to slip out from under the actors in their linedelivery. Many of the cast were plagued by problems of unclear speech. The timing that is essential togood comic delivery was often lost because of lack of understanding of what was being said.Backstage noise also detracted from the performance. The object of Allan Felix's fantasies, Humphrey Bogart, was played by Del Elliot. Although he gave a basically weak performance, the illusion of a"Bogey" was realized through costuming and an attempt at Bogart's vocal inflections by Elliot.William Fulle portrayed Allan's friend, a chronic achiever. His performance reached an energetic highin the scene where he imitated a jilted Italian lover. Here, he demonstrated vitality that was lackingthroughout the rest of his scenes. The quick pace and energetic performance by Carl made the showcomically contagious. The audience could hardly help becoming interested in the plight of Allan Felix,and the ten minute intermissions between acts were almost too long for the sober members of theaudience. "Play It Again, Sam" is being held over until next Tuesday, Jan. 24. Dinner is served at 7:30p.m. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Curtain for the performance is at 9:00. The price of the completeprime rib dinner and show is $13.00. Those wishing to see the show without having the dinner may doso for $4.50.

Sportswriters don't need to be. Referees Phil DeKoster and Bob Gates did almost everything they could to give Western a home court win Tuesday, but their last-gasp effortsfell short as the Vikings lost to Seattle Pacific University anyway, 58-57. Had the game lasted onemore minute the refs could have turned the trick. The officials' conduct drew attention away from another gutsy performance by the seemingly always outmanned Vikings. In fact, the Viks seemed reluctant to accept the kindness. Fred Knutsen, at the charity stripe (in this case the old cliche is disturbinglyapt) with two seconds left in the game, missed the first shot of a go-ahead one-and-one situation andthe game was SPU's. How Knutsen got there is the most blatant example of the referees' work thisnight. The 6-2 guard drove to his right into the key with time ticking away and slammed into the Falcons' Mark Christiansen, knocking him down. Gates' call, of course, went against Christiansen, who, to allappearances, had solid and legal defensive position. Of the crucial call, SPU coach Keith Swagerty said with a smile, "I thought our three guys had pretty good position." Western coach Chuck Randall went so far as to admit, "I suppose it was a typical home-court caU." DeKoster and Gates certainly didnot begin the game with any pre-conceived notions of swinging the game in Western's favor. On paper, in fact, the edge appears to go to SPU. Each team was whistled for 17 fouls, and the Falcons shot fourmore free throws than the Vikings. But any observer would have noticed that the much shorter Vikingswere forced into over-aggressiveness and fouled more as a result. It was the timing, rather than thequantity, of the whistles in Western's favor that had many in the partisan crowd admitting that theFalcons were getting homered. Every time the Vikings needed a boost, especially in the stretch runwhen the Viks trailed^ the refs seemed to provide it. When asked after the game Pete's Tavern 1230N.

Lakeway Center 1030 Lakeway Dr. Shop Mon. to Wed. v 10 am to 7 pm |J Thor$. Fri. 16 am to 8 pm Saturdays 9 an to 6 pm CLOSED SUNDAYS about the general quality of officiating, Swagerty, ever the diplomat, said, "No comment." His tight lips,however, suggested there was much he wanted to say. "I've had it happen to me," Randall said,somewhat evasively, when asked the same question. "You expect it on the road." It is a sadcommentary on the state of basketball officiating when a visiting team, as a matter of course, canexpect to be cheated. In any case, it was the Vikings' inability to put the ball through the hoop that wasthe major factor in their defeat. Kevin Bryant, Western's top offensive threat the last several games, andPete Pilkey had particularly frustrating games. Bryant hit on 5 of 15 shots and Pilkey only one of eight.The Vikings made 25 of 71 shots for a poor .352 percentage. "We just had a tough shooting night,"Randall said. "Tonight was one of those nights we really missed May (injured forward Ron May). He'sproba-ably our best shooter and we could have used him." Center Mark Clay led the Vik scorers with 12 points. Dave Harding hit for 11 points with 11 rebounds and was a prime mover, along with Knutsen, asthe Vikings came back twice from five-point deficits in the final two minutes of the game. Bryantmanaged 10 points and led Western with five assists. Knutsen had three important baskets for sixpoints. The Falcons, who hit on 23-52 shots, from the field for a .442 percentage, were paced by guardKeith Woods with 16 points. Christiansen added 12 points, along with 10 rebounds, and Rob Thayer had 10. The difference in the final score can be traced to free throw shooting. SPU, aided by Christiansen's6-6 shooting, made 12 of 15 for .800. The Viks hit seven of 11 for .636.

The trip over the border to Burnaby, B.C. alsobrought a change in the rules. International rules were in force, as opposed to the intercollegiate rules normally used by the Vikings. This change in rules caused problems for the Viks as they were calledfor four over and back violations in the final minutes of the game. Under women's intercollegiate rulesa player in possession of the ball may cross the mid-court line as often as they want. The internationalrule is the same as the men's collegiate rule that says a player in possession of the ball can crossthe centerline only once. Viking coach Lynda Goodrich said, *"We played one of our better games. Wejust ran out of time." "Center Jan Johnston did a fine job, holding the woman she was checking to eightpoints. Last year the same woman scored 35 against us," Goodrich said. Leading the Vikings'scoring was freshman forward Jo Metz-ger with 27 points. SFU's top scorer was Bev Bland who hit for25 tallies. The Vikings, whose record stands at 6-4, shot 28 of 65 from the field. SFU shot 31 for 65.Tonight the Vikings travel to Hec Edmundsen Pavilion in Seattle at 7:30 p.m. to take on the University ofWashington Huskies.

Western, now a third division team,is faced with the possibility of dropping to the fourth division, even though coach Mike King says his club is one of the tops in the league. The Viks must prove their right to the third division by defeating theSurrey Hungarians at 2 p.m. Sunday at the football field. If they win this game they must still win threeothers, but the team is taking everything one game at a time. The task of upending the Hungarianswon't be easy. Surrey is in second place in the Fraser Valley Soccer League, just behind Alder-grove.Surrey, with a 13-1-1 win-loss-tie record, has scored 63 goals in the past 15 games (over four per game)and has let in Only seven. Surrey's only loss this season was at the hands of Aldergrove, and there liesmost of King's hope for a Western win. "Aldergrove beat Surrey 3-0, but Western only lost 2-1 toAldergrove," King said. King has more to base his hopes on the â€¢ just the point spreads of these twogames. The team that takes the field against Surrey on Sunday is an improved version over the one thatplayed most of the season. During the fall, Western's soccer program was split into two teams. Whilethe second team (the one playing Sunday) was in the Fraser Valley League, the first team played in theNCAA. Western's first team players were not allowed to play on the second team because of eligibilityreasons. The revamped second team made its debut last Sunday as it lost a 3-1 mud-sling to PortCoquitlam. This loss knocked Western out of contention for the Pakenham Cup. As well as leaguegames, Western also participates in cup play. The winner of the cup play is awarded the PakenhamCup. The Viks were in the quarter-finals when they lost. King has made some changes in the line-upwhich he hopes will ignite a win. A new forward, Bob Berg, has been added. He will team up withveterans Bill Smith and Dick Jones. Western's first line goalie. Stephan Birgh, also will be back in theline-up. Peter Munro, who will start at fullback Sunday, tended the nets against Port Coquitlam, because of injuries to Western's two top goalies. Not starting, but expected to help out as a substitute, is Wayne Anderson, who can play either offense or defense. King said he doesn't think last week's loss willaffect the team. "We go out to win every single game. We don't care about the standings," King said.Still, it would be nice to remain in the third division. KICKS â€” Western player boots the ball out of thereach of Port Coquitlam defender, but to no avail as the Viks lost the game 3-1. At 314 N- CommercialSt. Belling-ham Viking wrestlers survive fiu bout, face rough Simon Fraser, Central byERICHOOKHAMIn spite of the ravages of last week's double defeat and that ruthless foe, the Texas flu, Western'swrestlers will again engage in combat this weekend. The matmen travel to Bur-naby, B.C. today to takeon Simon Fraser University (SFU), and will entertain Central here tomorrow. In Western's last meetingwith SFU, the Clansmen narrowly won, 26-19. Wrestling coach Harry Smith feels the match will havea different outcome today. "If we stay healthy, we will have a good chance to knock them over," he said. He said the only difficulty the team might encounter is that SFU wrestles freestyle. In freestylewrestling, a wrestler may be pinned if his shoulder blades even momentarily touch the mat. Westernusually wrestles collegiate style, in which the shoulders may briefly touch the mat. Central will appearhere at 2 p.m., tomorrow in Carver Gym D. The Wildats, (5-6) are ranked 12th nationally in the NAIA."They (Central] aren't as strong as they've been in previ-ious years," Smith said, "and with the newpeople we've gotten since the quarter break, our chances should be much greater of winning." Smithsaid that the Vikings must win at least one of this weekend's matches to obtain an even record for theseason. Western is presently 4-7.

Enrollment Will Total About a Thousand When Added to Number at Friday Harbor. ATTENDANCE REDUCED Smaller Enrollment Is Indication of Progress in Status of Teacher Training in State. The way we'll all be feeling about next , we£J£ this time. Speed Gets 'Em Norman ."Bob" Burchette, famous for his lyric soprano, participated in the recent class day eVercises five minutes after he. ceased being a freshman. Logan and Lindsay, locally known -for their, excursion parties, deserve honorable mention. They have decided to go to work for the summer. PHOTOGRAPHED BY REQUEST Last minute reports from the Registrar's office reveal that about nine hundred and twenty-five have registered up to date. With the number who will attend the Friday Harbor Biological Station added. to this figure it is expected that one thousand students will be enrolled this summer. By comparing this figure with those of a year ago it is found that there are about two hundred and fifty less students. Cheney Normal reports a similar shortage, while El-lensburg reports two hundred less. Low Grade Certificate Eliminated This general falling ' away of enrollment is due to the fact that the low grade certificate has been eliminated. Students are no longer granted a certificate to teach in the public schools of the' state by attending Normal twelve) weeks in'the summer as has been the practice until recently. Many students wouJd come direct from High school, pass the state tests, 'and. go'.out to teach the following fall. This practice has been stopped, and the elementary certificate is soon to share the same fate. • Two Years Training Required President Fisher said today that we have reached the time when two years attendance at Normal will be considered a minimum training for a state certificate or diploma. This will result in a more substantial and satisfactory attendance which, he believes, is an indication of progress in the status of teacher training in the state. In all probability the enrollment for the fall quarter will resume its usual proportions. o CAMP FIRE COURSE GIVEN AT SAMISH Training Course Directed like Regular Camp Program Followed by Camp Fire Girls. Tuesday morning' President Fisher greeted the students, in-his usual wjiole hearted manner, :brihging to mind the idealistic features of the school. , : . • /'•-,.. Its faults, being those of youth, can always be easily corrected. There is at present the_ problem of too many teachers for positions. This institution has graduated five thousand already, on an average of five or six hundred a year. The lowering of attendance for this term is not a warning, but a sign of progress in the best interests of teaching. If this condition continues and.requirements are raised, salaries will again increase. With such a contrast, between the schools in this state and California it is plain that it is up to the professional teacher to raise the standard in defense of education. SPORT DEPARTMENT ASKS FOR QUESTIONS This issue of the Messenger sees the inauguration of a new column.

Fifty students are enrolled in the Camp Fire training course at Camp Samish on Samish Island. The course began on June 11th and will continue, until Saturday, June 19th. The majority of those enrolled are former Bellingham students, but it has been interesting to note that an exchange of ideas in girls' work is inevitable for the enrollment consists of girls from Idaho, California, Oregon, Arkansas and Washington, and- executives from New York and Kansas. ,.' The training course is being directed similarly to the regular camp program followed by the Camp Fire girls during their periods at Camp Samish. / A rousing song period starts the day and is followed by basketry, hand craft, nature lore, hiking and out-dbpr sports. Louring this last week Miss Keeler and Miss Rosehe. .will go put and teach clashes in Psychology -of the Adolescent Girl, and nature study. ; • , , Several of the girls who are\ now at the camp will return to the'Normal on Monday, June 21st,, and eh-; roll with qne and one-half credits to 'their; good 'ior a week of inter-5 testing, A work • combined: with ^ xeerea- ,ti6n;^V*:'-'j;;. vv£'; 'V'^:''^'r^.^:yM:'^:^'ii Playing to" appreciative audiences-last Monday and Tuesday evenings the Drama club under the direction of Mr. Hoppe scored heavily with George S, Kaufman and Edna Fer-bers three act comedy "Minick." Ted Cederberg' did full justice to the feature part of "Old Man Minick" keeping his audience busy checki n g tears and laughs alternately. Meryl Bird and Mary Culver went through the trials and tribulations that befall a young maried couple who try to fit an elderly man into* their scheme of living. Madeline. Freese and John Fitzgerald as the young Corey family are at their best in Chicago ^ apartment society with the Diamonds or Peggy Magoon and Norman Vance coming close seconds. As servants, Hazel Bisbee could say "Yassuh" and Ruth McCullough, "How-r-yu?"'with the best of them. Of the club women 400, none were as apt at meeting procedure as Gladys Burroughs, Elizabeth Forrest, Melba Coffman and Mary Margaret Doyle. It was the part of Angus Edwards as James J. Price and Norman Burchette as Eugene B. Dietenhofer to add a few comical touches to the performance. These two inmates of Grants Home sit through long sessions in the park, with old man Minick, curb important business investments with him, and in the end lure him to the Home where he can "pay his three hundred a year and be free as a bird." The work which. Director Hoppe obtained from this cast was highly pleasing and added another success to the long list of Normal Drama club performances. Work will commence next week on the summer production which will be Shapes-peare's "Romeo and Juliet" played in the Greenwood Theater later this quarter. "Minick's management was ably handled by Bill Mock, business; Mrs. Bisbee, publicity; Norman Vance, stage, and Evelyn Hagen, ushers.

Joshiah Baxter, who started the season behind the platter for Coach Harold Keeney's chargers this year, will organize, one of the teams that will compete in the tournament. The other rival managers have not been named yet, but it is hoped that at least four teams will be organized. When the tournament gets in ; full swing there will be at least two games each week for the four teams. When the turnament getsaointaoi The games will be run off on Waldo Field at 4 o'clock every day. Incase that two scheduled games fall on the same day one of them will be played later in the evening and will take on the aspect of a twilight mix. i The standards of eligibility that were prevalent last year still hold good. Anyone who can swing an ax or its equivalent, a baseball bat, and can run bases, is eligible. The boys are looking forward to a glorious season. Much fun is expected at home. "Every man _ in school is to get on a baseball squad at whatever cost," is the slogan of Coaches Carver and Keeney. o HANDBALL The handball courts are in good condition and it is expected that within the next few days they will be a scene of bustling activity. Most of the competitors will be girls since Paul Rule's partner, Mark Jarrett, is not in school this quarter. Paul might double up with one of the fairer sex and organize a mixed doubles conference tournament. LATE NEWS ;There Will be -three baseball clubs organized within the next week. Baxter's Dishwashers,' "Han-kins' Hoosiers" and "Bond's Bums" will be the three teams to compose the diamond league this summer. Every man in school should affiliate himself with one of these clubs. '•• - : — :—o —r- : MANY ENJOY WATER ~ AT Y. W. 0. A. TANK All conference athletics have been postponed for this season but will will be renewed with the reopening of school next fall. Prospects for next year look good since many lettermen have expressed their intentions of returning to the Normal fold. In reviewing the records of the past season the Vikings have enjoyed a very successful year in* the major sports. Next -week will see the ,organization of baseball clubs that will compete in the men's club baseball tournament.. Several of this year's diamond stars have returned for the summer quarter and with an abundance of other material some good teams should be developed. If the men of the'school show the same amount of interest that was manifest last year we may/ well look forward to a flashy brand of ball in a few weeks time. » * # Wdth the variety of sports that may be had at the Bellingham Normal this summer in addition to the week end hikes and, mid-week trips, there should be opportunity for all students, men and women, to participate in at least one branch of athletics. Let us make this summer the liveliest -one that has been at the Nor-may- by-the-Sea and everyone turn out for at least one athletic activity.

All but two of the qualified initiates showed up to demonstrate that they had the right stuff in them off the athletic field as well as on'it. They demonstrated without doubt that there was more than a single purpose in their activities in the sprint sports. That's the spirit we like. • These men were pretty rugged; there being only one casualty during ;the entire evening, that when Kep turned an ankle. Tom Large proved that he is the champion eake eater Of the bunch, although the defending champion, Joe Baxter, ran him a close second. After running three heats "Play Games" Reeves showed his ability running in his bare feet over a hundred yard .course of broken beer bottles and barnacles, by taking the race from ten entrees. . The stunts were topped off by a big crew race which ended in a tie. Several men collapsed at the finish from the.intense heat, but were soon revived by the smell of stew and the rest of the evening dinner. After the eats were devoured a meeting was lield and the following! officers were elected to serve next year: Lyman Stickney, president; Earl Hemmi, vice president, and Don Patterson, secretary. It is the policy of the club at the spring meeting to elect honorary captains for the five major sports during the past year.

The instruction of these classes is in the hands of Miss Ewald, a newcomer in the physical education department. Miss Ewald is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin. With such a competent instructor in charge the girls' • swimming work promises to be highly beneficial and enjoyable. In commenting on her work Miss Ewald said that with the beginners the first work would be in breathing iand: cultivating a feeling of. general at-homeness in the water. The first constructive work will be in learning the much famed "American • Crawl." /,; Red Cross life saving methods Will Jbe included in the work of, the advanced classes.

Three Tuesday and two Saturday trips are required before "students are being, allowed to participate in the several mountain climbs. This is to insure all persons being in proper physical condition. lt; Here are the dates and destinations. Keep them in mind and be ready to "get in" on all the fun.

A round robin horseshoe will be started and every player will have a chance to show his skill at ths ancient pastime, sometimes dubbed barnyard golf. , ; -, . Many Tennis Matches The many devotees of tennis will have plenty of competition and will have to "strut their stuff" to give a high ranking in the tournament. , Hand ball is always a popular sport and will draw its share of the students. If basketball is played, there will be many who will come out to play on the club teams, as basketball, is always popular even in the summer. Horseback riding will take its quota, especially of those who have not forgotten "Dobbin" for "Lizzie." Hikes and excursions are . always welcome, more so because. of the many places of beauty, which can be reached in a few hours and which will always be remembered.

C, on Monday afternoon where they landed on their return trip-frbm Japan oh the Empress of Russia of the Canadian Pacific line. Mr. Hansen has for the past two years had charge of the American School at Toki o where he has instituted a program of modern education for children of English speaking parents employed in business and professional life there. Mr. Fisher, Mr. Hartline and Mr. Hansen who worked together at the Normal of Pennsylvania have greatly enjoyed this meeting of Pennsyl-vanians. Mr. and Mrs. Hansen stopped over at the Fisher home on their way to New York city. o Students In Church A number of students of this school participated in local church services last Sunday. For the morning service of the St. James Presbyterian church, Chauncey Griffith played the following numbers of the program: Prelude, "To a Wild Rose" and offertory, "A Deserted Farm," by MacDowell, and postlude, "Military March,' by Schubert. Harold Hill took the bass solo of the anthem, "The King of Love" in the evening worship at the First Presbyterian church. Catherine Randall played Blake's "March" as a postlude to the evening service of the First Christian church last Sunday evening. A hive of Professor Kincaid's bees swarmed on the front entrance of Science hall, University of Washington, and completely blocked the way for a short time recently. - * Don't Forget the Campus Barber Just Across the Street Beauty Parlor in Connection .'-••^.••-••.'

Coleman of Reed College in the auditorium lasi Thursday morning. The program began with processional music by the Normal School orchest r a and an invocation by Reverend Charles McCaughey. Mr. Coleman's address was founded on personal contacts and observations in the Orient. He said the first feeling' when Orientals and Occidentals meet is shock and dislike of the unusual. After that comes a period of education and understanding followed by a period of possible cooperation. Continued intercourse shows many important ways in which the two races can be mutually benefited by working together. Hawaii is an example of this as only about thirty thousand of the total population of three hundred thousand are white people. The others are Japanese, Chinese, 'Koreans, Filipinos and Ha-waiians. Mr. Coleman believes that in another generation or so the interests of the Pacific coast will be nearer to Shanghai and Yokohama than to New York and , Boston. The peace of the future depends on mutual understanding. If groups of people become suspicious of each other a spark is all that is needed to start trouble. After Mr. Coleman's address the Williams trio gave two musical numbers; then President Fisher presented the class of 1926 for -their diplomas which were awarded by Dr. William D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the Board of Trustees. Water, Earth, Sky (By Carrie Crippen) Water, earth, sky, soft, deep, blue water, set wth diamonds; hard diamonds, whose sparkles ever reach up to the sunlike rain turned up side down. Like stars, shining from earth to sky, yet brighter than stars, more gaudy. A mass of stars together where the sun points" fiercely. Hard, crystal diamonds on azure water. Infinite sky, sky that lifts me up, carries me to the nothingness beyond the transparent blue. Beckons me on and on and on and on and on. No cloud save one white puff for ornament above the. deep shadowed blue velvet island set between blue water and blue sky like piece of cardboard; a mooring to which man clings while his soul explores the limitless human wonderings. Two souls are there. Water, show-mg its jewels, its gaudy finery above a black, angry turbulence; always fighting, twisting, lashing, sucking, hiding, a boiling, foaming soul beneath exaggerated splendor. Sky, limitless magnificence, a serene, naked soul; boundless, un-cramped, without end or beginning. Diamonds fade, melt into black water. Clyde Banks does our kodak finishing.

Arnold, Tuesday morning lecturer, in an interview granted just after the assembly. Arnold, who is a son of Sir Edwin Arnold, author of "The Light of Asia", revealed a delightful sense of humor when telling of the following incident: A lady once asked him, "How it it you have such vivacity and animation?" He replied. "True, madam, that my hair is growing gray, but you have no idea how pink my toes are!" The famous explorer and lecturer stated that this was his first visit to Washington, although he passed through • the state at one time on his way to Vancouver, B. C. Now that bids are called for on the new Physical Education building and the ground is about to be broken, it begins to look as though the building is not a dream but a reality. It was a figment of the imagination for so long that it seemed as though our grandchildren wouldn't be using it. But in the years to come, future students will be able to point to it proudly and say, "Four score and seven years ago, our Prexy brought forth upon Waldo field a new Physical Educa-t in building". * * * * * Maybe when we get that new PE building, something can be done about that eternal stag line at rec hours. In that gymnasium, which is to be 90 feet wide and 100 feet long, surely the d o r m a n t by-standers, both the men who sleep in the middle of the floor, and the women who gradually move nearer and nearer to the center, will be able to keep out of the way of those who are trying to dance. On November 23, the freshmen class is giving its quarterly party in the Big Gym. Whispers have circulated to the effect that only freshmen women will be allowed to come free of charge. If this is true, the enrollment of the freshmen class will undoubtedly jump amazingly between now and then. Still the plans for Homecoming continue. From the way our general chairman talks that week-end will be a combination of a rodeo, an Al G. Barnes circus, a Zane Grey story of the Wild West, and how Gram'pa fit the Indians. Our chairman may be little but what a brain! Indeed what a brain! I t is going to be a .rare treat to have some new songs to sing in praise of the Normal. I, for one, offer personal thanks to Kenneth Rue and Burdette Miller for their welcome contributions. And to think that one song is completely original! Of course, I don't think that it would be right to call in a tune detector, but at least, we won't really have heard that particular tune before. And surely this can't end without some mention of Armistice day. It is highly probable that the greatest number of students will sleep their day away. A brave few may manage to attend the inevitable parade in the afternoon. But a very few will remember the reason for an Armistice day. To all those who don't remember, it happened seventeen years ago . . . the welcome news of peace. Anyway, I want to wish you all a very happy Armistice day. He is now on a lecture tour which includes such towns as Ellensburg, Yakima, and Corvallis. Arnold Says "Ah" "Too many people drop the power of seeing things out of windows", philosophized the author, while telling of a little boy, who, although too young yet to talk, noticed everything out of the windows. "I hope I shall be able to say 'oh' and 'ah' over things, like that little boy, until the end". Showing the more serious side of his character, Arnold went on to say, "I love to speak to students. I feel that each of us should do something that leaves a useful footprint in the sands of time. For me, that is to show students how worthwhile knowledge and scholarship are", he concluded. Norsemen May Join Conference Board Sends Millikan To Cheney For Schedule Arrangement; Kenneth Rue Wins First Prize With Original 'Victory March'; Burdette Miller Places Second Once again we approach another Armistice day commemorating the end of the World War. Seventeen years ago that welcome news was proclaimed to a world that was weary of strife. Today as we celebrate this memorable event war clouds again hang heavily over the world. In these j troubled times the necessity for making the observance of this day, lyj.iiiiai.iiy a. ij^ace celebration is much greater than ever before. Although it may have seemed that our past observances of this day have taken on a boastful attitude, still they are done.in all sincerity. ' Armistice day not only represents the end of the war, but also represents a faithful tribute to those who gave their lives to insure the peace of this country. In order to determine next year's football schedule and the possible change in Northwest Conference games, the Board of Control voted at Wednesday's meeting to send President Gordon Millikan to Cheney with the football team. He will negotiate towards drawing the Normal's team into the Conference. "Local people have agreed it would be better to have Conference games," said Millikan. The Board approved of the cooperation of the American Legion in staging the next game. This organization will share the expenses and gate receipts. Rec Hour Checked I n line with the improvement of conduct at rec hours the Board decided to keep a record of outside attendance at the weekly dances. Those who do not show Associated Student tickets will be requested to register their names as they enter. The condition of the year's budget was brought up by Glen Ny-green. President Millikan pointed out the respective profits and losses of the football'games. "The unexpected expenditure for the pep band were offset," he explained, "by the saving incurred when the University Frosh agreed to play their game here last month." o Cummins Addresses International Relations Club Meet on Ethiopia Ethiopia and its background were discussed by Miss Nora B. Cummins, history instructor, at the first November meeting of the International Relations club Wednesday evening at 7:30 in the club room of Edens hall. Her talk was followed by an open discussion among the members. Ten new members were initated into the club. The regular business meeting was conducted. The. fall shipment of books which have arrived from the Carnegie Endowment was reviewed. "These books will certainly prove very interesting, as they are all new books on modern problems", states Glen Nygreen, chairman of the program commmee. Nygreen added that these books will be placed in the club library in the stacks of the library building. o 14 Composition Students Exempted Through Test Fourteen students are exempt from English composition work according to results of the test given last Thursday to freshmen in the high English group. The students found exempt are Geraldine Flansburgh, Jean Hatch, Mildred Richardson, Katheryn Hatch, Eleanor Tpmlinsori, Clara Vander Griend, Sybil Henchcliff, Jean Summers, Margaret Perkins, Doris Tarte, Winifred Krieter, Betty Howell, Barbara Kennedy and Nellie Holstar. All other members of group seven are required to take English composition and the exempt students may also, if they wish. Class Pictures Will Be Taken Before Holiday Juniors, Seniors Urged To Sign Appointment List for Klipsun Photographs Because no junior-senior class picures for the Klipsun will be taken after Wednesday, November 20, upper-classmen are urged to make their appointments now on the list posted on the main hall bulletin board. Better service can be given to those students who make their appointments early, avoiding the last week rush. "It is necessary that all individual portraits scheduled to be taken during fall quarter be finished before Thanksgiving to make way for the photograper's Christmas trade," explains Helen Hostetter, editor of the Klipsun. A reduction on publishing cost is being offered by the Western Engraving company, engravers for the yearbook, for all engraving work submitted before March. The earlier the engraving is completed, the greater the reduction will be, says Miss Hostetter. Extra pages will be added in proportion to the amount of engraving submitted before March. Faculty pictures are being taken this week. Members of the faculty who have not had their pictures taken this year or had reprints made are asked to do so at once. Pictures are being taken at Sandi-son's studio in the Woolworth building. Mount Baker Offers Jobs to Normalites Winter sports at Mount Baker this year not only attract the usual crowds that participate and watch, but they also afford week-end work for several Normal and high school students. Fitz Hagist, manager of the Mount Baker Development company, asked Miss Gertrude Longley, Edens Hall dietitian, to send some men and women that want or need work to him for personal interviews. They go up to the lodge Saturday mornings at 10 o'clock and return Sunday evenings at 6 o'clock. Besides a regular salary, the workers' traveling expenses and board and room are taken care of by the company. These arrangements will be carried on throughout the winter season. They are especially for the skiing fans. Men's Club Participates In Two New Activities Sponsoring the Junior Varsity basketball team and forming.a men's chorus are to be the two chief activities of the Men's club in the coming months according to Mon Or-loff, president. Mr. Orloff said, "At our meeting Friday, Nov. 1, we unanimously agreed to sponsor the J V's, then took up the matter of a men's chorus". Nils Boson, of the Music department, suggested the formation of a chorus and the members immediately approved. Boyd Swanson was appointed to work with Mr. Boson in investigating and.getting this activity underway. Bond Speaks at Breakfast Held For Graduates Alumni Meet at Tacoma During Recent W E A Convention; Many Attend That 46 former students of the Bellingham Normal school were present at the alumni breakfast held at the Marlot cafe in Tacoma October 29, was reported by Dr. E. A. Bond, head of the mathematics department, who was the principal speaker. Miss Mary E. Rich, supervisor of the Training school, and Miss Wilma Trent, supervisor in the city schools, also spoke. The breakfast, which was held at 8 a. m., was sponsored in connection with the recent WEA convention.

Like a thief in the night, Ladd Shangle has been quietly, diligently working toward the grand climax. Every waking hour he spends in planning, Hoping, dreaming about this dazzling event which will put the name of Shangle on the map. Every morning he comes to school with dark circles under his eyes after hours of restless tossing on his pallet of straw, counting over one by one the. precious plans which will make his Homecoming a colossal success. In all seriousness, Shangle has been planning for months' to make this celebration one to be long remembered and if the effort he is expending is at all effective, it will truly be so. Jerry Jacobsen, as chairman of the Homecoming dance, Pat Jacobsen and Burdette Miller, as co-editors of the Homecoming booklet and the innumerable other students who are giving their services on various committees also deserve honorable mention. This corps of committeemen is planning to entertain us and the returning grads in as royal a manner as they know how. All they need, now, to insure the complete success of the affair is our whole-hearted participation and co-operation. Armistice Interludel In the midst of international suspicion and unrest =today, there is an American soldier with the pleasant memory of a Frenchman who knew the meaning of the word "gratitude". It was in Paris on that memorable November 1 1, 1918, and the entire French capital was in a state of hysteria. Amid the joyful cries of "Fini la guerre," a lone American dough-boy sat quietly outside a cafe. A Frenchman of dignified appearance detached himself from the throng and approached the Yankee. Bending over the chair he spoke in halting English, "With your assistance. Thank you," and suddenly disappeared into the crowd. A warmness filled the American soldier for America's part in saving France.—Los Angeles Junior College. _ o THE WINNAHS!

Words by Burdette Miller. They're Flying Again . The . . Book Shelf WORKS OF ROBERT NATHAN. "ONE MORE SPRING" is a short novel of the depression difficulties which confront an elderly, bankrupt antique dealer, JARED OT-KAR, MR. ROSENBERG, a young violinist without engagements, and ELIZABETH, a destitute young street-walker. They survive the winter in a park in the heart of New York City, the philosophic Mr. Otkar and the quaintly pure Elizabeth hoping to see one more spring. When spring does come, Mr. Otkar is offered a position of steady work but prefers his newly gained freedom to a return to his old system of living. He and Elizabeth are happy with each other in the south all day long. And at night they fall asleep in each other's arms. Winter is far away and they do not worry. People are starving everywhere and with its return they will starve too. The more practical Mr. Rosenberg is spending a little money attending the last concerts of the season. He has found a rich patron who is giving a recital for his friends who will be asked o listen to a gifted young man who won the first prize at the concervatory at Paris. The recital will be a great success. Mr. Nathan writes without raising his voice. With an occasional rueful smile or other slight inflection he achieves pronounced meanings in his lyrical style. Especially is the reader aware of the subtle touches of irony. Another trivial-appearing novel exemplifying Mr. Nathan's subtle artistry of suggesting much in few words is "The Bishop's Wife" (1928). The story has a triangular plot revolving about Julia, the wife of a dogmatic and worldly bishop, the Bishop, and Michael, the archdeacon, an angel whose heavenly qualities are perceived by Julia-alone. The bishop's wife and Michael fall in love, Julia experiencing the full passion which the bishop denies her. She wrestles between this love and her scruples as a wife and mother. She abides by the latter, an inward longing for another child, having filled her heart with peace. The finest bits of the book are the scenes portraying Juliet, the five-year-old daughter of Julia, and her boy playmates, Potter and Johnson. When writing of children Nathan is inimitable. His literary rank is not yet appreciated. "Oh, I went hunting one fine day." Poor little ducks! Those cruel, brutal, heartless hunters are once again all hot on the trail, seeking to shoot the loving little creatures. Perhaps, even, many of our own Normal students will spend next Monday doing this very thing. Well, if you want to come up to my house some time we'll have a duck-dinner. Keep Posted "To be or not to be—well, it isn't much of a question if you want to do the right thing for Homecoming. The reputation of the Normal depends upon us, so let's leave liquid refreshments to those with less responsibility. Let's get back on our favorite subject, doing right by the faculty. We find it pains them to be addressed as "Hey, Marquis" or Arnt-zen or whoever the victim might be. Teachers are presupposed to be worthy of the dignity of a Mr., Mrs. or Miss before the name, even when not entitled to the honor of "Dr." or "Dean". Scholars tell us that a student's reading matter should never be limited but surely three "VIKINGS" apiece are sufficient to grasp the contents. So rush down to the hall and take your three and three fox-each of your friends (They will do the same) because another bunch of papers will soon arrive from the print shop; or so the rest of us hope. When everyone has filed or pushed or bounced into the auditorium and President Fisher rises to give the announcements, the social interchanges are at an end. When the President comes forward "Let Silence Reign." o F Muck . or Morons Queer Quires One of the oddest accidents on record occurred recently in Japan. A motor bus swerved and plunged over an embankment 100 feet high. Suddenly cries for help came from a tree part way down the mountain, which the bus had passed while falling. From its branches hung seven passengers. They were trapeze artists in a traveling circus. Up to the beginning of the nineteenth century, England hanged anyone found guilty of attempting suicide. Thus it tried to stop its citizens from taking their lives—by According to all4 observations, RALPH HOFMAN will soon be of fering a course in "Several Simple Steps to Self-Assurance".

The game will be a feature of the Cheney Homecoming and will be played Saturday afternoon. Twenty-six players will make the trip. They will stay in Ellensburg, Thursday night, and will arrive in Cheney Friday afternoon in time for a light workout. They will stay in Spokane Friday night and come to the game by bus. "We are in the worst shape possible and will be lucky to hold the Savages to three or four touchdowns', the Viking mentor, Chuck Lappenbusch said. "With several of our first string men out and other regulars shifted to their places, we haven't a chance of winning". Frender is Out With two first string tackles out and the regular end on the sick list, the Viking line will be considerably weakened. Bill Frender tackle, was hurt in scrimmage and will be out for the season. Frender, a three-year man, was one of the mainstays on the team and his loss will be keenly felt. Maurice Tooley, tackle, will be ineligible on account of grades. The end who played so well in the PLC game, George Smith, is on the sick list.

Wednesday night between Bartons Bootery and Alexanders, and between the Northwest Vikings and the Kitchen Krew. Bartons defeated Alexanders 25-19, and the Vikings defeated the Kitchen Krew by a score of 24-17. Bartons Bootery started off with a lead in points at the first of their game. They had the advantage over Alexanders team in that their team was heavier and had more experienced players. Although Alexanders team did not start with a bang, they ended the first half with more scores than their opponents. In the third, quarter, Bartons Bootery made a spectacular ally, gaining a lead which lasted to the end of the game. Alexanders team made a feeble attempt at scoring near the end of the game, but could not overcome the lead their opponent had on them. The Vikings vs. Kitchen Krew game was a clean fast game, with the Vikings holding the lead throughout the four quarters.

It says that there will be little change in college men's pockets this year. I might add, "That's true, that's very true!" much action.

Phone 882 Located in the Home Market Votaw scored early in the fourth quarter on an end run after eluding and outrunning the Viking secondary. The rest of the game was evenly played with both teams fumbling regularly. Tarte was outstanding in both defensive and offensive play along with Dzurick and Smith for the Vikings. Moe, Votaw, and Svinth were the Lutheran strong men. After a hard fast battle the speedy Co-op team emerged on the long end of the 36-37 score. The game, although rather rough, with both teams collecting an enormous number of fouls, was a spectacular opening for the intramural basketball season. Greggs was high point man for both the Monday games, scoring 14 points for the Co-op. The game see-sawed back and forth the entire four quarters until after two overtime periods, the Co-op scored the winning goal. Pat and Jerry Jacob-son were outstanding for the "W" club, scoring 19 points between them. In the final game of the day the Men's club won a fairly easy game with Edwards hall by a score of 33 to 18. This game equalled a football practice for roughness, with several men going out on personal fouls. Singer was high man, scoring 11 points for the winners. With the WAA High, Former Normal Student, Match-Maker For Bouts at Liberty Jim High, former Normal student, is now a wrestling-match maker for the Washington Athletic commission and is holding his matches at Liberty hall in Bellingham. High attended Normal until the end of the spring quarter. Two weeks ago he accepted his position with the Athletic commission. High has arranged two matches during this time and in the future he will have a match every Wednesday night. He has "High" hopes of bringing the best wrestlers on the Pacific coast to Bellingham.

The husky football boys turn out at the same time. Maybe you don't know it, but the two fields are right next to each other. Of course, when those sturdy soccer maids kick the ball too far, it is always in the direction of coach's little athletes. Then the girls rush right oevr, have a few minutes conversation with our heroes, and start back for practice—it's the same P H O N E 7 23 For Your Drug Store Needs INSTANT FREE DELIVERY REMEMBER Vee's Personality Shoppe 310-11 Sunset Bldg.

Or have you observed Elmo Tooley or Ed Werner, in a huddle, looking over at the girls wondering which one he could take out? (Of what or where, we don't know). And then in signal practice, of course the football boys don't acci dentally, or incidentally, have their play in the direction of the soccer field. Of course not! Anyway, it is a good thing Nor mal girls get their exercise, even if we do know the reason why they turn out.

PHONE 314 Since I'm quoting- from Esquire this week, I might just as well quote from the Bible and tell you that last Friday's game reminded me of the old saying, "Many were cold but few were frozen." That was one time when the Fems would like to have traded places with the players. There were so darn many blankets at the game that I'll bet many a mother and father had to wait up till the blankets came home. Just about the best heat invention I saw was an electric waffle iron plugged in the broadcasting booth taking turns (and on it... and four girls burns) sitting If comparative scores mean anything, the Vikings haven't a chance of taking Cheney tomorrow. Cheney has beaten Gonzaga and Gonzaga trimmed Washington State which makes Lappy very dizzy. With six 3-year lettermen and three 2r-year men on the team, the Cheney coach, Red Reese, must have his boys just about perfectly coached. At least, he's had plenty of time. One of Cheney line-up is Patsy Frank, a newcomer to break in the 188 pound half, and according to advance reports, plenty good, and the only reason that Frank broke in, is because Moss, regular halfback, also a 3-year letterman, is out with injuries. The soda fountain coaches around here agree that the Vikings will lose by at least three touchdowns. But sometimes the underdogs win or there wouldn't be any fun watcning a football game with the winner all picked. High School Rivals Prepare For Game The annual Armistice day football clash between the two high school rivals, Whatcom and Fair-haven, is to be held at Battersby field Monday, November 11, starting promptly at 2 p. m. This game is sponsored by the American Legion. The trend has been generally toward Whatcom, but the Grizzly team promises to live up to their old tradition and give them a good battle.

Ninety-two couples attended. To Mary Jane Moergeli and her committees— Thank you for a grand evening. You have set a fine precedent for our future informals. * * * * * We send our appreciation to our charming patrons and patronesses— Miss Linda Countryman, Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Pauline Potter, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hoppe, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lappenbusch. * * * * * WE LADIES present our new members of the Women's League commission. Esther Gius is our newly elected secretary and a third year student here. Since CPS gave Esther her start in college, she is still undecided as to which school she owes her allegiance. You may become acquainted with her in the Reserve Book room, but make it before 4 o'clock. She will welcome you more cordially at some other time, and we don't like to stand in line! * * * * * Betty Howell and Lois Hankamp were elected to represent the freshmen girls. Betty comes from Snohomish where she was active in newspaper work and various clubs. Lois is another one of those famous Lynden graduates. She was also a leader in high school. You are bound to hear more from both of these girls. * * * * * To Davis and Enger halls we send our appreciation for yesterday's afternoon tea. Also to our three o'clock class instructors WE LADIES wish to say that if we are slightly late to classes, it is a good sign. It means only that we have had a reviving cup and are fully prepared to give attention to your lectures. * * * * * I n the tea vein comes this question: Is it necessary to thank the lady pouring before we leave? WE LADIES believe the gesture of expressing appreciation to the hostess not to be obligatory, but just one of those courtesies which places us in a slightly higher degree of civilization. Harking back to Colonial days again, it would have been only the natural thing to do. Certainly we haven't degenerated. * * * * * Watch for the Reader's Digest in the Women's League room next week. It is to be placed there for the pleasure of all of us (ladies). Also, remember the official stationery. * * * * * Evelyn Ecker and Frances Truax are to be co-chairman of our publicity committee. When you see the eye-catching bulletin board in the Women's League room soon it will be their creation. All Women's League posters originate from this committee. Drives Against Deadly Malady To Commence Christmas Seal Sales Begin Day After Thanksgiving; Fight Tuberculosis , With the distribution of 25 million Christmas seals throughout the state, the Washington Tuberculosis association is beginning the annual campaign against tuberculosis. Seal sales will begin November 29 and close Christmas eve. Proceeds from the sale will be used in the fight against this disease. "With the encouragement given us though a reduction of deaths from tuberculosis in 1934 and the constructive interest shown by the public in our program", says Mrs. R. O. McCredie, State Seal Sale Chairman, "we anticipate a hearty response to our Christmas seal sale this year". Meetings to discuss the work are being held in the various counties and plans are being laid to make this year's campaign a big success according to reports from the association headquarters. In a recent report Mrs. McCredie said, "I have every faith that the continued support of the public will permit our work to expand during 1936, and I earnestly appeal to all to cooperate to this end". WAA Viqueen Lodge Will Welcome Co-eds Over Coming Holiday "Viqueen lodge is to be the center of holiday activities for all girls in the Normal", smiled Betty Ewing.. WAA president. The boat leaves the dock as 7:00, Saturday morning. Three hours brings the boat to Sinclair island. Two days of exploring, resting, eat-jing, and perhaps—even swimming await the girls. Monday noon will find them back in Bellingham. "We know those who've never spent a week-end at Viqueen are thrilled at the chance and those luckier ones who have been there are even more eager to go again", said Miss Ewing. Morals of Young Men Gets The Spotlight Morals of the young men of the school were discussed by Coach Sam Carver in a short talk given at the last meeting of the "W" club Tuesday afternoon. Vice-president Don Holder was in charge of the meeting due to the illness of President Bill Frender. The club's activities for the coming year were outlined and it was proposed that the club hold its annual vaudeville soon. Initiation of new members will not be held until next quarter due to the necessity of having the grades of the proposed members before admission is granted. The smoker sponsored by the club will be held the first part of the winter quarter. The following Union Barber Shops of Bellingham are certified by the Master Barber Association.

Reager, the pastor of the Christian church led an inspiring service in assembly, Tuesday morning, which left his hearers better in desire, ambition, and thanks-giving. He first read from the Scripture the conclusion of the "Sermon on the Mount," saying that it was the most wonderful bit of literature of the ages. He led in prayer, which cleared our vision, quickened our senses, and lightened our hearts. His short, but concise, vigorous speech, full of pithy, sincere expression, awoke new hope and ambition and gave us courage and desire to take our parts in the hard days in store for us. He first spoke of Michael Angelo, and how he fashioned a masterpiece from a bit of discarded clay. Thus it was that attention to a little thing brought forth a big thing, that supreme art consists in making the right use of trivial events and opportunities. We at the present day are apt to think that if we can get an educa- •ion, success will follow as a matter of course; we expect our chances to jump at us instead of our going half way to meet them. Statistics show '•"at 90 per cent of our graduates from liigher institutions drop out of the limelight at the end of three years— are nontities for the rest of time. It is impossible to get the most from life without taking into consideration the little things. We must know how to use what we learn. To learn is not tD know; there are such things as (Continued on Page Eight) * News was received Tuesday * * from Chicago, of the death of Mrs. * * Boring, the mother of Miss Boring * * of the Art Department. Being so * * far away, and feeling that she * * could do no good, Miss Boring did * * not go home but remained here * * and bravely continued with her * * work. On behalf of her students, * * the Messenger extends to her the * * deepest sympathy. * The students of the Bellingham Normal were entertained with a most unique program during the assembly period at 10:30 Thursday, when Mr. S. H. Hamer, a resident of this city, and Immigration Commissioner of this region, read several of his original poems. Mr. Hamer has been writing for some time in his spare moments when business lessened its pressure, and many of his verses have been published in our daily papers. His work is distinguished by musical choice of words, vigorous phrasing, human interest, and some of them, indeed, by the surprising oddness of subject. Also such lines as the ones on "hair" are boisterously clever. The rather short one on the war met with distinct approval on the part of the students, and the exceptionally excellent lines, "The Launching of the Redwood," will live long in our memories, for its grace, beauty, and its pictures-queness. Our thanks are extended to Mr. Hamer. Two of his poems entitled, "Our Firs," and "War,' will be found in the Literary department of next week's issue of the Messenger. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TRAINING SCHOOL. "The Junior," No. 1, Vol. II., published by the B. S. N. S. Tndustiial Dep't. Press, has appeared, and is a very creditable sheet. Ged/ge Sherman, Grace Carew, Vernon Kaylor, Gordon Broadbent, Lillian Brotnov, Katherine Schupp, and Ralph Engberg are the contributors. ES TO NOHHL SCHOOL The following letter from Miss Fannie Fern Andrews, Secretary of the American School Peace League to Dr. Nash, is self explanatory and will doubtless be a gratifying bit of information to those of our students who are interested in the essay contest: 405 Marlborough St., Boston, Mass., Jan. 30, 1918. Dr. George W. Nash, Pres., State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. My Dear Mr. Nash: I am in receipt of your letter of January 23 and take pleasure in sending you one hundred copies of our Year Book, which I shall be very glad (Continued on page 2) L MUSIC! EP The musical program of Tuesday, the fifth, given under the direction of Mrs. Thatcher, was unusually interesting Mrs Engberg presented one of her pupils, Miss Helen Schumann, in three violin numbers, which were greatly appreciated. As Mrs. Engberg announced, "She has quite a name to live up to, but she is making a pretty good beginning," for though yet^a child, her music is amazingly fine. Not only in masterly technique does she excel, but her expression is delightful; in other words, it has soul. One may be faultless in mechanical touch, but without soul it *s not music— it is only imitation. For airy gracefulness, firmness of touch, and telling interpretation, she is a wonderful artist for one of her years. We sincerely believe that Miss Schumann will make her mark in the world as a musician, if she progresses in the next ten- years as she has in the last. PROF CHUTE ISSUES BOOK ON MANUAL TRAINING Mr. Freeman G. Chute has recently put out a book on "Projects in Woodwork and Furniture." It is an excellent book for teachers of Manual Training and those interested in the practical side of the work. It contains blue prints of numerous articles to be made of wood. The book is neatly bound and each page bears the stamp of the State Normal School. .E.A.CAL TEACHERS TO COLOR A letter that should be an inspiration to each and every one of us school teachers was received from Mary C. C. Bradford, president of National Education association. She says: "You are hereby called to the Colors of the American Republic. The teaching force of the United States is summoned to serve in the great world crisis that is at hand The war for human freedom can not be won unless the army of soldiers of the common good—the public school army —gives the fullest measure of sacrifice and service. Still more important, a new and fairer civilization will not take the place of the one that has broken down under the stress of conflict unless the molders of the soul-stuff of the world—teachers—dedicate themselves afresh to the mighty task of rebuilding the national insti- (Contimied on Page Eight) Tuesday—Lincoln's Birthday; 8:50 assembly, brief address by Rev.

"There has never been such a scarcity, as now. So many of our young men have been drawn out of teaching altogether, and so many of our young women have selected other lines of work providing a better compensation that it is impossible for the committee to fill all the vacancies. We have had requests since the beginning of the school year for fully one hundred teachers which we could not supply." "What will be the effect of this war upon the teaching profession?" Miss Keeler was asked. "Well," she answered, rather deliberately, "that's rather hard to answer upon a moment's notice but it appears to me that about four results are already evident." "The indications are,' continued Miss Keeler, "that many former teachers who have been out of the work for several years, are again coming back into the school room. A number of such have already indicated a desire to do so, and some have been placed. This will give us a more mature teaching force than Pt present and will raise the average years of service, which should tend loward the professionalizing of the work of teaching.

A Statement of the Policy and Activities of the American School Peace League During the War. A few days after the United States declared war on the Imperial German Government, the Secretary of the American School Peace League issued "A Call to Patriotic Service," addressed to the teachers of the United States. This call included the program of the league during the v;rar, which is as follows: To maintain a civic and moral stability among the youth of the country. To inspire anew a love of American institutions and American ideals. To foster civic service appropriate to youth, consciously entered upon for the nation's welfare. To promote an interchange of goodwill regardless of race or nationality. To teach the value of arbitration, conciliation, and judicial settlement. To hold to the ideal of the ultimate triumph of democracy. Early in the autumn of 1917, the t —* TO THE MEMBERS of the ALETHEIA CLUB ALKISIAH CLUB ART CLUB CHORAL CLUB COLLEGE CLUB H. L.

H E R ASPLUND Jewelers to THE NORMAL SCHOOL TRADE Next to First National Bank Executive Committee of the American School Peace League announced its policy to co-operate with the President n his aim to safeguard the principals of democracy throughout the world. In taking this stand, the committee acted in line with the general aim of the league, which has always been to lay the foundation for a durable peace, for which the United States is now fighting. The members of the committee assert that nothing should be done which could not be endorsed by the state department, and they pledge their whole-hearted support to the government in this struggle for freedom. The league responded to Ihe letter of President Wilson, addressed to school officers on August 23, 1917, in which the President appealed for such teaching in the schools as would give "a new appreciation of the problems of national life and a deeper under-stading of the meaning and aims of democracy." Under the title, "A Plan to Co-operate with President Wilson in the Project outlined in his Letter to School Officers on August 23, 1917," the league issued the announcement of its Prize Essay Contest to the secondary and normal schools of the country, the subject for the secondary schools being, "How should the World be Organized so as to Prevent Wars in the Future," and that for the Normal schools, "The Teaching of Democracy as a Factor in a League of Nations." In sending out this announcement, the league asked that the essay contest be incorporated into the regular work of the school with the distinct aim of co-operating with the President. Practically every state in the Union is represented in this patriotic work, and many hundreds of schools have introduced this study as an integral part of the school program. Besides this nation-wide study of the meaning and aima of democracy, the league is engaged in other forms of co-operative service included in its •vogram issued at the beginning of "he war.

The Business Manager of the Klip-sun asks that anyone wishing a Klip-sun and who had not already signed for one, do so at once and hand his name to any person on the staff. The Senior play tryout which was postponed will he held the 20th of this month at 4:10 an da second one the following day at 3:25. Seven male characters are needed in the cast, as well as an equal number of girls, so all the hoys are requested to read over the play and tryout, so there will be some chance for choice. A committee composed of Ruth El-lander, Albert Booman and Esther Korthauer was appointed by the Senior class president to meet with the faculty committee on contests and the Junior committee to discuss the subject of the Junior-Senior debate. Another committee, Miss Workman, chairman, Miss Dobbinspeck and Miss McGee, was appointed to look after the Senior announcements so that we might get a line on prices, etc. Seniors, the second semester dues are due and our class treasurer, Irene Ramsey, always has receipt book with her and will gladly give vou a receipt in exchange for your fifty cents. JUNIOR. At the meeting Tuesday, February 5, election of officers for the new semester was called. As there were not enough members present to make a quorum, the constitution was set aside in order to allow the election to take place. The old administration was reinstated, except that Agnes Lane was elected vice president and the secretaryship was tied. Plans are being made for the mixer for the third division of the class, which includes those whose names begin with the letters L-Z. It is to be a Valentine party, and comes on Thursday night, February 14. All the boys are included in this group. The committee for the Junior class play consists of Stacy Tucker, Rain-hard Hanson, Bernice Ober and Hazel Huntsberger. As a result of quick and decided action, the play has already arrived. It is "Quality Street," one of Maude Adams' favorite plays, and affords, splendid material for fine dramatic work.

HALL'S HALL NOTES. Sunday morning the members of Hall's hall were aroused at 8 o'clock by a loud knocking at the front door. All turned into the hall and found a new pair of shoes hanging on Hazel Welty's door. Why were they left here? Look at her left hand and see the reason. Hall's hall has been unfortunate in having to run a temporary hospital the past week. Iris Rueger and May-belle Lewis are recovering from ton-silitis and Ella Pallas is now able to use her arm in which she has been having blood poison.

Be not lenient with your own faults, save your pardon for others.—A Japanese proverb. So Von Hindenburg says that he expects to be in Paris by April. Not at all impossible—in fact it is one of the most reasonable things he has said yet. It is not at all unlikely that he will come filing into the great city of France along with the other prisoners by that time. STRIKING STROKES AND STROKING STRIKES. According to the papers the Germans are preparing for another powerful stroke on the Western front. A stroke of paralysis undoubtedly, at least the sun stroke is out ol season and no other kind seems to have been of very much avail. We would think that the Kaiser would be in a continual lather of perspiration, as much as he has had to stroke the confidence of die German people to keep their spirits up. But in some cases he seems to have stroked their bristles the wrong way and the strokes have turned into strikes. So now the Kaiser is trying to stroke the fur of the strikers, but let us hope that the strikers strike the stroker. MORE CAMOUFLAGE. It is certainly interesting to notice how the Germans whistle to keep their courage up. How could the Kaiser admit more plainly his despair than by beginning to make extravagant estimates of what the Germans are going to accomplish in the near future? How could he proclaim more loudly the necessity of keeping up the spirits of the people than by shutting off from them the truth of the war situation? We have heard of all kinds of camouflage from painting landscapes on military camps, and putting barb-wire fences on tanks, to painting ships to look like the high seas but this attempt to make the war situation look rosey to the German people is the farthest fetched yet. While the camouflage is in fashion, it's a wonder that the allies' wouldn't paint a picture of a cathedral, a hospital, or an orphan asylum on the side of a cliff, and let the Germans shoot all cheir ammunition away at It. WHAT WE NEED IS SHIPS—MEMBERSHIP. As assential as it is for us to have leaders, who are leaders, indeed, still leaders can do little without followers, dghters, captains can direot, but soldiers must carry out orders, overcome die enemy, and eventually win victory, juie^e are uays of recruiting and conscription, and those who cannot be the leaders must fail in line, and "IOIIOW the leader," as faithfully as we used when we played that childhood game. Membership does not imply quanti- Ly uut quality ratuer. Oh! lor the people uiai will get into the light and say to their leader, "I am ready; use me wnere 1 lit in best," without „nouglit of honor or glory, or even repaid, being satisned to nave part m a good cause—to heip the cling along, vvhatever it may be. Weak membership would be the downfall of an army, and just as surely would it be the breaking up of a class, club, or society, fc'ometimes weak membership is due to inefficient leadership, but there are people, whom the best of leaders cannot en-chuse. There are people in the B. S. N. S. to whom this assertion implies. Does the shoe fit? Well, wear it. Will you ask yourself, "Am I a credit to my class?" or "Is my club a better club because I'm a member " "When the President of either asks me to do anything do I say, 'Yes, I'll do the best 1 can.' " I just wonder what per cent of mem-, bership of the classes and clubs in the Normal can answer "Yes" to iht above questions. Think it over. For my part, it didn't appear as though very many could in the Junior Glass on Tuesday when a meeting was ofJled and 55 were present out of three hundred. Do I not rightly say, "What we need is ships!" More ships coming. HAZEL HUNTSBERGBR.

Mr. Klemme also lectured at this point earlier in the week. Immediately after commencement Miss Nettie Connell and Miss Anna Scanzon left Bellingham for Boise, Idaho to take up their new duties, Miss Connell to teach the fifth grade, and Miss Scanzon in the department of science of the Junior High School.

AMONG BOOKS. (By Glenn Hughes.) IV. John Masefied—Probably the ir.o-u powerful living English writer is John jMasefield. He is so consummately great that many present day critics are linking his name with that of Shakespeare. Arnold Beanett is one of these, and his opinion should stai-d tor much. Masefield is essentially «?. poet, and yet his sense of the dramatic i.s so finely developed that the two qi:;vl'- t!es, the poetic and the drjmalic, blend most strinkingly in most of his wo^k He is, too, a man who has met Life in a stand-up-knock-down light, and has won. Running away from his English home when he was yet a boy, 'le stowed away on a tramp vessel, and began a long and fruitful series cf adventures which left him finally in the position of bartender in a salooii along the waterfront of New York City. One has only to read any one of his works to understand what a great soul may draw from contact with the sordid and vicious.

SANITARY MEAT MARKET FRESH AND CURED MEATS FISH AND POULTRY 1017 Elk Street ten with the strength, the wisdom and the spiritual force that dominate him now if he had lived a cloistered and conventional life. Probably the finest thing he ever did is "The Everlasting Mercy," a long narrative poem, so vivid in its dramatic conceptions, so fired with exalted poetic feeling, and so excruciatingly real in its characters and incidents, that the reader is almost stunned. The style is violent, crude in a beautiful way, astounding in its contrasts—in short, it is like life itself. No one, unless, it be Shakespeare, has been able to slip so deftly and effectively from the ethereally delicate to the earthy grotesque, and back up to the high quiet plains of religious peace. "The Widow in the Bye Street" is another narrative poem, almost as appealing as "The Everlasting Mercy." Its theme is more common, but the treatment is absolutely new. "The Daffodil Fields" is anoth3r similar piece of work which forms a separate volume. "Salt Water Ballads" is a small collection of musical and haunting sea songs, Masefield's boyhood work. Some of them are indeed lovely. "The Tragedy of Nan" is a prose drama of early English life, such an exquisite tragedy that I shall refrain from commenting on it at length. It is classed as perhaps the greatest of all modern English tragedies, and this should be enough recommendation for any serious student of literature. "The Tragedy of Pompey the Great" and "Philip the King" are two poetical plays, abounding in virile and fascinating lines. "Gallipoli" is Masefield'^ most recent contribution to our library- It is one of the most gripping books yet published on the Great War. Masefield took an active part in the Dardanelles campaign, having charge of a transport; therefore, his reports of that bloody and heart-breaking episode are authentic and colored with the sure-ness of personal observation. Masefield is a critic of tremendous intellectual keenness. We have his book on William Shakespeare—one of the finest commentaries on the poet of poets that has been published in many years. In the meantime, one may find these books lying idle in the library almost any day. As the Spanish say, "Que lastima!" TO WINTER. Oh Winter, with thy cold and chilling blasts, Thy biting frosts and cheerless leaden skies, Thy frozen streams and :~y-covered masts, Within thy grasp a latent power lies. Relentless might to mar and wreck all things, Is but a part of thy vast strength and power, For hidden deep within they bitter stings, Are kindly thoughts of better future hours. As at a time of deepest, darkest gloom, When hope springs forth, the lightened soul will sing, So in the darkness when *lry clouds still loom, There ever is the joy of coming Spring. Oh, stern and dauntless Winter! Hail to thee, For thy brave spirit courage brings to me. —G. C. P. Signie Carlson writes from Stan-wood, Wash., where she is teaching at the present time: "There are thirty-three pupils in my room. I like my work very much. I don't think there is another institution that has such a fine lot of instructors as the Bellingham Normal school." Alice Belch writes from Holcomb, Wash.: "I am sure that you would enjoy this little school. The school house is a modern rural building, having been built only six years. My pupils are as near model children as one could wish. The school has only sixteen pupils but is very cosmopolitan. There are Danish, English, German, Austrian children and three native girls of Switzerland. As is usual no one wishes to "board the teacher," and I am for the present with a native Danish family. The pupils come from two miles around. I find it rather a lonesome place as there is no one near my age, within a raidus of four and a half miles." Lillian V. Brandt of Bow, Wash, R. F. D. No. 2, was greatly pleased when Mr. Bond spoke at the school January 25th. In her own words to Miss Keeler: "Mr. Bond was the best substitute you could have sent and all of our people were delighted with him. Thank you so much for sending him. They ask for him to come again." We all know that. Irene Marshall writes to us from Manson, Wash., Chelan County: "My brother and I have an interesting school, the youngsters are so wide awake, and full of mischief * * * 1 had a grand (?) time at school today. At noon while I was out of the room, three of my girls put a lot of pepper on the stove, and when school was called the whole room began to sneeze.

Both our boys and girls are expecting to play Brewster's teams February 9. This is the first year they have ever done anything like that here." Miss Ruby Dougherty of Yacolt, Wash., writes: "I am getting along very well with my work. I have the seventh and eighth grades, thirty-three children in all.

Keeler, Dear Friend:—I shall write and let you know how I like rny new work and "Washington. I am employed in the legal branch of Procurement Division War Department U. S. Army. My work consists of some typewriting, filing, and desk work. Every one is very agreeable to work with, but we are just rushed, and I have worked overtime every day. Washington is a very busy city in every respect, and the government has built many new buildings, besides many which were taken over and are in use as office buildings. I do not like the looks of the dwellings here, as they are all ancient-looking. There are many interesting buildings though too, the station and postoffice buildings are very nice, also many of the government buildings. The Congressional Library is a wonderful building and it has everything in the way of reference material, etc. The building is certainly a magnificent example of good architecture. But taking it all in all, this city has many opportunities for one that some cities do not have, and I can look at the things I like and overlook the others. I hope to see Washington's home later, when the weather gets warmer. We have some snow here and it is getting colder today than it has been. I will say though that the weather has been agreeable, but a little cold at nights.

If they need me more anywhere else, I am willing to go where they feel I can be of the most help. The people here realize that we are at war more than the people in the west, and it is about time everyone realized it.

Cambridge, Mass., Jan. £5, 1918. Dear Dr. Nash: I do not mean to limit this to you, Doctor, but thought that you would pass the word along to my other friends at the good old Normal so as to jar their memory that there is such a chap as I. Little did I think a few months ago that I would be writing letters from such an historic old place as this. It would take a long letter to give you much of an idea of Harvard University or its surroundings. A larger part of it than I thought is quite modern and even the wonderful old Har- Hard library is housed in a magnificent new structure facing on Massachusetts avenue, incidentally, the longest street I have been able to find. Cambridge is bad enough, but in Boston proper the streets are so crooked, narrow and short! My first impression of Boston was that it was the dirtiest, crookedest town I had ever seen, but I hope first impressions aren't lasting ones, as I have four months of sojourning here. It would be interesting to copy all the different inscriptions from markers and monuments as you go along the street. There are frequent squares and parks or commons where there are many tablets and statues. Only two blocks from the hall where I was staying stands the old Washington elm of Revolutionary war fame. The birthplace site of Holmes' home is on the college campus as is also the house occupied by all Harvard presidents from 1726 to the present time and which was Washington's headquarters in '75. Not far in the distance, only a couple of miles, Bunker Hill monument looms up and in the center of the town is the old churchyard cemetery, with stones dating back to the early eighteenth century. The east still has that old spirit too though it is different from our western life. Perhaps you would like to hear something of my trip east. It Avas indeed quite a change to drop out of the land of showers to one of snow and cold. I first saw snow outside at Baker iCty in eastern Oregon and it has been ever present since. The trip over the Rocky mountains was rather uneventful except that I had for a fellow passenger one Edward Randou, himself enlisted in the aviation branch of the Navy and bound for Pensacola, Florida for training. We had a royal good time together as far as Chicago where each went on his way. I stopped at Buffalo for a day for the purpose of seeing the txeat Niagara. I was repaid a thousand times as it was the most magnificent sight I had ever seen. I took the route around in a sleigh, getting out and sight-seeing as often as I wished. Niagara was especially beautilul because of its winter dress. Great colored icicles hung from the brink of the falls and the walls of the gorge and below there were great mounds of ice and snow. Well, I must not write a volume and will save a little for a later time. I still contend that Washington, Bellingham, and my old Alma Mater are the best places to be found and I hope to come back there popin' fellows on the back and saying, "Hello Sam, how is it for a game of tennis?"

If the need of such knowledge is once recognized, the path is already opened to the attainment. He told of the great Phillips Brooks, who in college possessed only medium attributes. He started to teach school, but soon recognized that he was becoming a failure. He determined to serve God. Thus he became the greatest preacher of his time. Determination and energy, linked with a consecrated will, are the factors of success. Without them we are powerless. We are now facing a new world. As a preface to that change, we are suffering under great strain. Calling attention to the girls who were knitting, he said, "See these young ladies knitting—they can't help it—they've got to do it. It's their duty. The country is in need of men and women who can face the situation and do their bit well and cheerfully. Trained minds are the pass-word of the day. Those who dodge the army are not the only slackers; those of that vast army who remain at home, listlessly letting the world wagon pass and living from day to day, putting off their obvious duty •Until the tomorrow that never comes, are perhaps the most guilty ones.

One superintendent alone asked for thirty teachers with at least one year of Normal training at $75 per month; no experience required. Dozens of requests that could not be met have come to the appointment committee for young men as principals and teachers of Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing offering salaries of from $100 to $15Q per month; likewise for young women for grade positions at from $75 to $90 per month with often appended, 'We will pay more for a strong, live teacher if necessary.' This in turn, raises the standard because they demand that teachers fill a position rather than simply occupy it." "The third result," continued Miss Keeler, "is that specially trained teachers are being called for continually, and no others will be accepted. Boards want teachers who know how to do effective things in playground supervision, community leadership, boys* and girls' clubs, manual training courses, sewing, cooking, commercial branches, art, and music. In short, practical things that function are the demands of the hour. "Possibly the most noticeable thing just now is the great number of girls taking the places left vacant by the boys. We must train girls in the manual arts and club work, "rirls must take the work in athletics and playground activities. Strong girls with power for leadership will be called as principals of small schools and even as superintendents in small cities in a way heretofore unknown. Never before have such demands been made upon education. "To the young women ind to the young men between eighteen and twenty years of age, this is a call to colors. In no way can they serve their country more effectively. "England is paying more for the support of education at the present time than ever before in her history because the present war has convinced her that the strength of a nation depends upon the intelligence and abilities of its people. So must America support with her money and with her men and women this greatest agent of Democracy. "We are planning here to meet this immediate demand as rapidly as we can find girls who can accept this responsibility. War will effect every organization in our country, but in no place will greater changes come than in the teaching profession."

Vol. X. • November, 1910 No. 2 HUM fc?SS» The Messenger is ready again for your inspection. We hope-that it will be a source of pride to you as a school for we are surely trying to make it worthy of your commendation. This paper is a student publication "of the students, for the students and by the students." It's our paper to be proud of or ashamed of—ours to read, talk about, laugh over, and contribute to. And it's ours to encourage and support,—'' to make or mar.'' And so let us "make" it by standing by each other nobly and our success as a School paper will be assured. Have you bought your Lecture Course ticket yet? "Well, hurry up! We wonder if you appreciate the pleasure in store for you. We who heard last year's talent are certainly anticipating much from this season's attractions. We were so delighted with Madame Langendorff, that we are more than anxious to hear her again. And there are others on the Lecture Course this year, equally good in their lines of work: Judge Lindsay, Hubbard of ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 2 ---------- 2 TEE MESSENGER the Chicago Tribune, Champ Clarke, and Mrs. Davenport-Eng-berg. We extead to the Commitlee our highest appreciation for their care and good judgment in securing these artists and promise our most loj^al support. • We hear that the Football boys are having financial troubles. This is partly due to the fact that we haven't turned out as we should to the games. It comes back to that old question of School spirit which Ave so painfully lack ;—that same spirit which prompts us to discourage the Students' Association and forget to subscribe to The Messenger. Let's plan some way to help the Football boys, for they need it and i t ' s our duty and pleasure to help them. We are glad to see the bulletin board adorned with Basketball practice notices. The teams are responding to the call of their Classes enthusiastically. Who is going to win the Kline Cup is the burning question of the hour. • The thanks of the Staff are extended to those who helped us in last month's publication, especially to those who aided us by criticism. If this issue is better than last—we hope it is—it is due to you who have given words of encouragement. Please do not be afraid of hurting our feelings, for it is in Ihe interests of the paper Ave are working and Avill Avelcomc criticism favorable or unfavorable that will tend to the betterment of the paper. Almost vacation time. Normalites! IIOAV gladly we Avill welcome a feAV days' cessation from our School cares. Home, and the home folk, a little rest,—and the Thanksgiving turkey will send us back renewed and strengthened for better Avork. • • • THE NERVOUS CHILD.

O, Arabella, Annabella Wilhelmina Wild, So everybody says, is a very nervous child. —May Turner in Woman's Home ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 3 ---------- THE MESSENGER '* A REMINISCENCE. Manual, the captain-elect of next year's foot-ball team; Meacham, Ellery and Pilling sat in their den in the Beta Kappa fraternity, at the University of M. , talking over the prospects of a championship football team for the coming year. Every position on the team could be filled with a capable, experienced man, excepting that of center. This position could not be definitely filled, because of the opportunity there might be of developing a better candidate out of the raw material that would graduate from the High Schools of the State and enter the University the following year. In the meantime if. during their Summer vacation, they should meet some big, husky young man who seemed promising as a football player, it would be advisable, they thought, to persuade him to enter the University and try out for the Eleven. At last their year of hard, grinding study at college was over. Manual went to the city to assist in his father's business. Meacham went to the mountains of the West. Ellery and Pilling betook themselves to the country, to bask in the sunshine and to assist with the work on the farms. They corresponded with each other and, among other incidents, narrated Summer experiences. Pilling reported to his captain that he had found a very likely candidate for the position of center, in the shape of a big, tow-headed fellow,—Storberg by name,—who tipped the scales at one hundred ninety-seven pounds when in good condition. Manuel decided to come down, to look him over and question him concerning his plans for the future. Storberg had played a star game as center during the season passed on his High School eleven. After considerable weighing of the opportunity, he decided to enter the University of M. , and try-out for the Eleven. He was coached on some points of college life by Pilling, who, from past experiences, realized the struggle a new man at college has in getting settled properly into the swing of college life. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 THE MESSENGER The vacation days came quickly to an end, and the prospective candidates for the football squad were urged to register early to be on hand for the first practice. Each train brought bright young men to dabble in books and study athletics, and young maidens to learn how to blush most becomingly and how to curl their hair after the latest approved fashion. Nearly all the former squad were present, among the new men being Storberg, who found the environment of the University novel, and a considerable contrast with that of his country home. His great physique was admired by the boys, and his shock of tow-colored hair was commented upon daily by the co-eds. The coach issued orders for all men who expected to try for the Eleven to turn out in suits this afternoon. There were present at the turn-out, long and short, lean and sleek, tow-haired and red-haired,—all the shapes, styles and sizes that go to make up the sterner sex. Some were pugnacious-looking fellows,—others a little more meek in appearance. Out of this conglomeration of a typical college football squad were to be developed, disciplined and coached, eleven strong-limbed, mighty-muscled, cool-headed, young men, to endure the grind and toil of the gridiron in honor of their University against the other Universities of the conference, that were trying equally as hard to overcome the odds and turn out a winning team. Storberg did not have clear sailing in toil for the position. There was present a young man from a different part of the State, who had as good a record, but in weight and development didn't equal Storberg's physical build. After long deliberation, the coach and officials decided to let Storberg play the position at center, and use this other man as a substitute, because of Storberg's seemingly superior ability to plunge through the opposing line and break up the plays. After a few weeks of toil in practice, they met the University of C's Eleven in the first game of the season. The side-lines and yard-lines on Northrup Field, soon to become the scene of battle between two human machines of bone and sinew, lay in their staring whiteness. The grand-stands at each end and side of the field were filled to overflowing with spectators and rooters of the respective Elevens. The yell-leaders were each coaching his band as to how to render with the most appropriate solemnity the yells and songs for the occasion. The megaphones, in the hands of enthusiastic rooters, gave vent to deep-voiced, touching exclamations of praise or disgust. Pennants and colors were in great evidence. The teams were lined up for play. The University of C's ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 5 ---------- THE MESSENGER b Eleven had the kick-off. The air vibrated with the yells of the rooters. M. had the ball, and by the brilliant line plunges of her back-field, gradually forged her way close to the goal line, but C 's men were giants of mould and mettle, so M. lost the ball on the third down. The directions of the coaches were followed to the limit, but the first, half closed with neither side having scored and C's. ball within two yards of her own goal. The rooters again resumed their everlasting din between halves, vieing with each other in rooting for the individual members of their team. Time was up and the second half begun with M at the kick-off. Smith, of C s. team, received the ball and carried it back in a sensational run to M : ' s forty-five yard line. Ralston of C then took the ball and was endeavoring to circle around left end, when Storberg. by a plunge through the line, got the ball by forcing it out of his grasp and made a dash for the goal. On and on he sped, the rooters yelling "touchdown!"—a mass at his heels trying to overtake him. Every muscle was tense; every eye riveted on the fleeing figure of red and gray. lie reached the thirty- five yard line; one man stood in his way. It was C 's quarterback. Storberg sped on, coming nearer and nearer to his opponent. His man was crouching for the tackle, when with a dodging side-stepping trick. Storberg passed him and had a clear field for the goal. On and on he sprinted. To cross that single line of white, with the ball, was the object of his flight. Nearer and nearer he drew. The rooters yelled, "Touch-down!" drowning out the official's whistle. Meacham kicked goal, and the score stood 6 to 0, in favor of M , with twenty minutes left to play, and bedlam reigning in M 's grand-stand. Only a few minutes were left in which to play. C. had the ball and was on M 's five-yard line. The rooters yelled, "Stone-Wall!" The very air seemed tense with suppressed excitement. The ball was passed to full-back on the first down; but Storberg, by a heaving, plunging motion of his herculean frame, broke through and tackled him. The referee called ' ' Second down and five yards to gain." Left half then took the ball for a plunge through right tackle, but was downed. "Third down and one yard to gain. '' Stone-Wall,'' was the word hurled across the sidelines through the megaphones. The ball was passed; full-back took it and in one mighty effort endeavored to plunge through right-guard,—but Storberg was there, N. W. A.,'12. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 THE MESSENGER THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY. O, I love the mountain valley Filled with thrills of chirping birds; On every tree they rally In little fluttering herds. O, I love its trees and flowers, Tall pines, forget-me-nots,— Its rills and leafy bowers Entwined by tangled nots. I love to pluck the flowerettes That grow beside the stream; On little grassy jetts I love to sit and dream. O, the echoes of the valley, From hill to hill rebound And fill the mountain valley With sweet and gladsome sound. BERTRAM'S TALE. lu the-engine-room of a mill were a few men, seeking shelter from the falling trees of the forest. Among them was an old Indian named Bertram, who was fond of telling about the country as it was before the white man took possession. The wind did not abate and, while the men waited they started to " s w a p " stories. Soon it was the old Indian's turn, and this is what he told: " I t was in the good old days, before the mills were so thick in this section. I started out from the cabin, telling my squaw to cook what she had for dinner, as I did not think I would shoot anything that morning. I walked down the hill, at the foot of which was the entrance to the forest. I had taken my gun, in case I should have a chance to get some fresh meat which we needed. Walking aimlessly through the woods, I came to Bertram Creek, and, glancing across, saw a deer in front of a large fir tree. Raising my gun, I aimed and fired, but the deer never moved, so, without changing the position of my gun, I emptied all of the five remaining bullels into the deer. It never fell, and I began to think some one had worked a practical joke, so, rolling up the legs of my overalls. I waded over, found that my first bullet had passed through the deer's heart and into the tree. As the aim had not been changed, each bullet had passed through the heart into the tree, and the force had been such, and the aim so perfect, that there had been a leaden nail formed which reached from the heart of the deer into the tree, and held the deer in the upright position. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 7 ---------- THE MESSENGER 7 "Putting the door over my shoulder, T carried it hack across the creek and, as 1 could carry it no farther, 1 decided to go home after my cart and horses. I started to unroll my overalls, when, to my surprise, fish began to fall out of the creases and, as I kept unrolling them, more fish fell out, till I had so many I couldn'i possibly have carried home my load. So, leaving !he Pish and deer near the trail, I went home, and soon came back with the horses and cart. "The roads were only trails then and the horses were hitched tandem style, with raw-hide harness, and a cart just wide enough to get through the trail. I rode the front horse and trusted that the second horse and the cart would get through all right. " I got off the horse and loaded the deer and fish into the cart, then, getting back on the horse, I started for home. When I reached the foot of the hill that I had to climb to reach the cabin, it started to rain. Looking back to see if I still had ray load, I started up the hill. It kept raining harder and harder, bu! I kept right on. When I reached the door, I jumped off the horse and, looking back, saw the cart sitting at the bottom of the hill, with the harness still hitched to ii, but the horses were at the door. When it started to rain the raw-hide had become wet, the harness had stretched and, the cart having such a load, had stayed at the bottom of the hill." The old Indian, when asked what he did then, said : "I just took the straps off the horses and hung them on a stump, put the horses in the barn and went in the house. Pretty soon it stopped raining, the sun came out and, as She harness dried, the cart came toward the cabin. When it reached the door I unloaded the stuff, and we had fresh deer meat for dinner and spring trout for supp e r . " RILLABALL, '11. • • • VACATION EXPERIENCES. Some writer has told the story of a man who, while making a trip in foreign lands, thought much of the pleasure he would give his friends by telling them of his experiences. But when he reached home, he found his friends so much engrossed in their own affairs that they would not hear him. So, finally, he hired a man by the hour to sit quietly and listen to him. Having no money left to employ a paid listener, and fearing that my friends might not take any too willingly to the martyr's role, I have said little since my return about my vacation experiences. What longings have filled my heart, however, for someone to whom I dared say, ' ' That reminds me of when I was down at "; or, "You will be interested in hearing " etc., I shall ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 THE MESSENGER not confess; nor shall I record here the feelings with which I heard the Editor say to-day, "Will you please write about your vacation experiences for The Messenger?" Long ago,—that is to say, some time ago.—I was taught, while undergoing an initiation into the mysteries of the English composition that one of the secrets of good style is to leave something for the imagination of the reader. Dear Reader, if any such there be, you have here something to work upon. A writer, whom I hesitate to mention in student circles, won immortal renown by describing one of his trips in the classic, "I came, I saw. I conquered." A modern and recently adopted American, has perpetuated his name unto the ages by reporting his railroad experiences as, "Off ag'in, on ag'in, gone ag'in, Flan-nigan." My own story might be condensed into, " I went, I stayed a-while, I came back." were it not for the feeling that possibly my remuneration for these services may be measured by the Rooseveltian standard of one dollar the word, in which case silence would not be golden, nor brevity the soul of wisdom. In justice to all concerned, however, it should be said that the Editor has laid no restrictions upon me; not even saying, as one editor has been quoted as replying to a reporter's request for instructions: "Tell the truth, this ain't no lion business." Lacking such instructions, I am able to give the reader's imagination a second helping. My vacation experiences were embraced within the limits of a trip to Southern California and back as 1o space, and from the eighteenth of June to the twenty-third of August as to time. Once upon a time, when a man with seventeen children, tried to negotiate with a showman for the privilege of taking the family in to see the elephant, the showman, with a keen appreciation of the fitness of things, said: "Hold on! I'll bring the elephant out to see the family!'' My entire family accompanied me on the trip, yet its size is such that I am confident of my right to say that "we" went to see California. The experience was an interesting one to me, because it was the realization of a childhood's dream. Growing up in an interior state, with no more of travel than falls to the lot of the average farmer boy in a family which has a fixed habitation; yet with the opportunity to gratify to some extent a hunger for books and reading, I early developed a strong desire to "see California. '' Friends and neighbors "moved" occasionally to that far-off region, and one of the pleasant incidents of my vacation was renewing acquaintances at Santa Barbara and elsewhere with some of the good country neighbors and playmates of thirty years ago. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 9 ---------- THE MESSENGER 'J One of the interesting experiences of a "newcomer" who has spent his previous years in a staid Eastern community is to realize that so large a percentage of his new neighbors, like himself, "have come from somewhere." This seems as true of California as of Washington. California, therefore, was new to me. I had never seen it before. New, also, was the mighty sweep of the Pacific westward, as its billows rolled in from their journey of 7,000 miles. But two things troubled me, somewhat. One was the fact that "the top of the map" wouldn't locate the north star and, consequently, I was somewhat mortified to find that, frequently, when I'd "look away across the sea," in the supposed direction of the Orient, I'd see some decidedly American hills in view. The other annoying thing was the unlearning of the etmological lesson of long ago, that pax, pacis, pacific, signifies "peace." On neither voyage, up nor down, were we troubled by a violent storm, but "upheavals" were sufficient to lead us to believe that Neptune has in the Pacific no ground for complaint. And after a novice has had pointed out to him the scenes of the tragedies of the ill-fated Valencia and the Rio Janeiro, he listens with interest, when, in the darkness of the night, he is roused from sleep by the solemn and frequent sounding of the fog-horn. One of the most interesting features of a trip to Europe, or even to New England, is the opportunity to visit literary shrines; the places immortalized by the residence of the great makers of literature or its great characters. No less surely has the world-famed harbor of San Francisco, with its '' Golden Gate,'' obtained a place in the imagination of man. Few ships enter the Bay of San Francisco, and few leave, whose passengers do not throag the decks to catch a first or last glimpse of that charming ensemble of water and land, of hill and sand-dune, of cliff and dashing wave, of houses and groves, of smokestack and Mission cross. A few ask in disappointment, "Where is the gate?" but to the majority the view is one of the most charming in any land. The stranger's interest, however, does not die with his entrance into the great harbor. San Francisco herself, the apparently helpless plaything of the giant forces of earth, of the devouring flames and of that human vulture, the spoilsman, proves none the less absorbing. San Franciscans shun all mention of "the quake." They feel the humiliation of their graft exposures and condonement trials. But as they watch the tourist's wonder grow as he begins to comprehend the stupendous building operations of the last four years, they warm with pride over '' the fire." There are a few places, however, where "the quake" comes in for its deserts. Out at Palo Alto, the seat of the great ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 THE MESSENGER Leland Stanford, Jr., University, in the cracked walls, fallen arches and demolished Memorial Church bear mute testimony to the great architectural tragedy. The Puget Sound country endeavors to appropriate the phrase, "playground of America," and in scenic features none dares dispute her claim. But she lacks the warm sun and warm sea waters which enable Southern California to contest her title- That wonderful city, Los Angeles, is some twenty miles from the seashore, but when her hundreds of thousands of people, and the ever-present, ever-changing tourist army, afternoons, evenings, Sundays, Saturdays and holidays, flock to the miles and miles of neighboring beaches, one feels that here is a region cosmopolitan, a meeting-place of the nations, a play-ground for the world. The Eastern tourist, after traversing the hot, dusty plains of Nevada or Arizona, is delighted with the occasional areas ot green, the groves of orange, lemon and peach. But to the traveller from the North, the one whose eyes are accustomed to look upon the restful, refreshing foliage of the Evergreen State, California, in the summer season at leas!, is disappointing. And thus, while he may bear away pleasant memories of generous hospitality of citizens, high admiration of constructive enterprise, restful and yet invigorating contact with warm waters under sunny skies, refreshing alternatives of green groves with brown or barren wastes, he comes back to the land of the towering fir and the matchless rhododendron, of snow-capped peaks and mirror lakes; of dashing streams, gem-decked bays and unequalled sunsets, thankful for the opportunity of living amid such scenes and thus, through rest of body and peace of mind, blessed by his vacation experiences. FEANK DEERWESTER. *•* *•* *•* NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION. At the recent meeting of the National Educational Association, in Boston, those having the meeting in charge advertised Boston as a most fitting place for the teachers of the country to gather together. I heard a lady from Philadelphia object to this statement which, by the way, many of the speakers used to introduce their speeches, saying that Boston was not the center of learning, and that her historical and educational advantages were not greater than those of many other cities, mentioning Philadelphia as an example. Be that as it may, the teachers of Boston made these old historic spots very attractive to her visitors. It's about some of ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 11 ---------- THE MESSENGER 11 the things they did for us I am going to write, rather than about the real work of the convention. I just want to say in passing that the most noteworthy feature of the Association, was the election of Mrs. Ella Fiagg Young as its president. The Fourth of July celebration was planned with reference to visiting teachers. There were two attractive features. In the morning there was a parade of the school children of Boston. They had worked out the periods of United States history in floats, some of which were very unique. In the afternoon was President Taft's address at the Harvard Stadium. He began his address by saying he was delighted to see us, etc. There were the usual receptions, one in particular for Mrs. Young; the usual concerts and lectures. They planned walking parties to visit the old landmarks in the city. These were very delightful, in spite of the heat. Our party was very fortunate to have for a guide the President of the Historical Society, who is a Boston teacher and a thoroughly delightful woman. These parties were all conducted by teachers from the Boston schools. These trips included visits to the old burying grounds. There are three of these: King's Chapel burying grounds is the oldest; was established about the time of the settlement, and contains tombs of many Colonial families. The Granary contains tombs dating from 1660. Here are found tombs and graves of Samuel Adams, James Otis. John Hancock, Paul Kevere, Peter Faneuil and many others of distinction and interest. The Kopp's Hill was the second burial place established. It was first used for interment in 1660. The Superintendent of these grounds has written histories of the people buried there. He related very many interesting stories of them. "We also visited the famous Old South Meeting House. Those wearing the N. E. A. badge were admitted free of charge. The present building was built in 1729. The place is used as a museum of historical relics. It is owned by the Old South Preservation Committee, composed of twenty-five Boston women. We were then taken to the Old North Church or Christ's Church, as it is commonly called. We sat in a pew and cooled off while the sexton told us the history of the church. He showed us the kind of lantern which hung in the steeple on the night of Paul Revere's famous ride. The church is still used as a place of worship. We were taken to the old State House,—also the new one,— Paul Revere's home, Faneuil Hall and many other old landmarks. Then there were excursions to out-of-town points of interest. One day we went to Lexington, Concord and Sleepy Hollow. We ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 THE MESSENGER passed the homes of Emerson and Louisa M. Alcott. At Lexington our guide showed us the battle field and the position of ihe Minute Men. At Concord we lunched at a Colonial Inn, a building used hy the American forces as a store house. Here we saw the Old North Bridge, the Battleground, the graves of the British soldiers, and the statue of the Minute Men. There were other excursions to Plymouth Rock, to Salem, to Harvard College, to Elmwood, and many oilier places of historical interest. I cannot speak too highly of the courtesy and attention shown us by the teachers and citizens of Boston. M. D. SENIOE NOTES. The Senior Class of the B. S. N. S. were at home to the School and Faculty on the evening of October 22, 1910. The Senior reception has become one of the annual affairs of the School, and the present Class outdid the former Classes by their genial hospitality to Students and Faculty. The rooms in which the Class entertained were yery prettily and artistically decorated with sprays of Oregon grapes, branches of Autumn leaves and chrysanthemums. Dainty refreshments were served in Miss Hay's room, which was lighted by candles, the artistic holders of which were made by the Senior girls in the Art department. The tables were bedecked with clusters of grapes and Autumn leaves. The blackboards of the ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 13 ---------- THE MESSENGER 13 little sketches by Miss Tloglc. representing popular songs. In hidden nooks were found names of the Faculty in "Senior hieroglyphics." Mr. Stark and his orchestra of Normal students furnished delightful music during the evening. Miss Busby, who has recently come to the Senior Class from an Iowa Normal, rendered several charming selections. Party favors were tiny pennants of the Normal colors, with the Class number upon them. A GUEST. Miss Florence Plumb has been visiting at her home in Seattle. We are glad to report that Miss Lee Dickson is able to walk again. Miss Dickson sprained her ankle several weeks ago. Pearl Hightower spent several days at her home in Seattle this week. The Seniors "got acquainted." not only with themselves at their informal little party the first of the month, but with a couple of Juniors as well. The rest of the Junior Class was entertained by the Seniors on Schome Hill. The Seniors and Juniors, with the possible exception of two of them, enjoyed themselves immensely, and hope that another opportunity will be given them to show their commendable spirit of generosity. Out Basketball girls have begun their regular practices. Miss Abercrombie tells us that the turn-out and material promises well for the glory of the Seniors. We certainly accept Adelaide's statements when basketball is the subject in question. • HEART THROBS.

The following officers were elected : President Mr. Gubbins Vice-President Mr. Odle Secretary-Treasurer Mr. Lidell Sergeant-at-Arnis Mr. Vandermei The Class teachers are Miss Dawson and Mr. Moodic. Mr. Sloan was appointed by President as Chairman of Constitutional Committee to revise and act upon old constitution; or if necessary, to draw up a new one. In order that members of the Class might become better acquainted, it was suggested that we have a party in the near future. Miss Allen was appointed as Chairman of entertainment committee. A Committee on Class Colors was also appointed. In meeting on October 26th no report was given by Committee on Constitution. Miss Allen reported favorably for a party and Class voted on Friday, November 4th, as the most convenient time. Orange and black were closen as the Class Colors. The matter of a girls' basketball team was discussed. It was decided to let the girls who desired to play list their names on bulletin board. A number of girls responded and also a number of boys of other Classes, desiring to be conspicous, added their names to the list and some were so persistent after fame that they added their names a second time after they were scratched out the first time. • • • A FOOTBALL COURTSHIP.

When the lights were turned low, the room, with its decorations, made a very pleasing Hallowe'en picture. The evening was spent in telling fortunes, playing games and telling weird ghost stories.

"—Charles Erskine Scott Wood. A PLEA. We know not, in life's humble way, The force which blunts cur brother's lance; Men's souls striving in agony Against the walls of circumstance: Have Charity.! We dream not of heredity's bonds That bind and bruise our fellow-men, We see but halting, stumbling steps As they confront the world again: Have Charity!

The football season is at its heighth now all aver the country and no little interest is being shown in this sport at the Normal. The boys are still turning out regularly for practice, and although they have been defeated in the three games they have played, yet they have put up a fine game in every case. There is no bright and shining star on the team such as we had last year, but the general line-up is far superior to that of last year. The line is strong and holds its own with any team the Normal has played this year. The forward pass which is being used a great deal this year, has not been mastered by the Normal team,, a fact that is due to insufficient time and men for practice. The boys are playing with a ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 28 ---------- 28 TEE MESSENGER class of stronger teams this year than ever before, and considering the difficulties Ihey encounter in putting out a team, they are doing remarkably well. Games with Whitworth College, Everett, and the local High are talked of, but as yet no definite schedule has been made. • • • Royal Niles, Avho was captain and star halfback of the Normal team last year, is making a great name for himself on the Whitman College eleven. In the game with the U. of W. on Oct. 27, he did great work forward passing and kicking, and executed a clever drop kick for goal within one minute after the game started. The Normal school friends of Mr. Niles are proud of the showing he is making in college football. • BROADWAY HIGH. 29; BELLINGITAM NORMAL, 0. On Saturday, Oct. 8, the Normal eleven met defeat at the hands of the fast Broadway High 1eam of Seattle. The game occurred at the local fair grounds and the gridiron was a veritable sea of mud, consequently the players were treated to a fine mud-bath, and because of a wet ball and slippery field, good playing was almost impossible. Broadway kicked off to the Normal and Brenizer got the ball and worked his way back to the center of the field before being downed. It was the longest gain made by the Normal team, for they were clearly outclassed and were placed on the defensive throughout the entire game . They put up a plucky fight, however, and were always in the game to the very last whistle. Broadway resorted to loose plays and used the forward pass successfully a number of times. They had an excellent interference, which made their end runs good ground-gainers. The result was five touchdowns, two goals and a safety for Broadway bringing their score up to 29. The Normal line-up: Odle. c.; Marshall, r. g.; Sloan, r, t.; Fritz, Krouse, r. e.; Tidball, 1. t.: Thomas, 1. e.; Copenhaver, 1. e.; Cade, Johns, q. b.; Gubbins, Cade, r. h.; East, f. b.: Brenizer, 1. h. • QUEEN ANNE HIGH, 20; NORMAL, 0. On Saturday, October 15, the Normal eleven played the Queen Anne eleven at Seattle. For the first quarter the score stood 0 to 0 in favor of the Normal, for our boys had the better of the argument. The Normal line was stronger than Queen Anne's and could pile of the line-bucks of the Seattle boys quite easily. In the second quarter Queen Anne adopted loose playing and ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 29 ---------- THE MESSENGER 29 used the forward pass. This was responsible for their end of the score, for they were more experienced in this phase of football than the Normal boys. Queen Anne made four touchdowns, but did not kick a goal. For the Normal, Krausc and Fritz, our whirlwind ends, played star games, although " S t u b " Cade at quarterback played in his usual consistent manner, and put up a brilliant defensive game. • BELLINGHAM HIGH, 11; NORMAL, 0. On October 22nd, the Normal team played their old rivals, the Bellingham High eleven. Each school was represented by a large aggregation but for some reason the Normal crowd did not do as good cheering as usual. The weather was ideal, the Normal team was in fine trim and would have won the game but for the field officials. These worthy gentlemen either never knew the rules or had forgotten them, for 1hey made a grand display of their ignorance in several important decisions; and the pecular part of it is that the High School always profited by the ignorance of the umpire and the referee. The teams were pretty well matched, although the Normal had a little best of the argument on straight line bucks. The Normal line held splendidly, and especially when the ball neared their goal. In the first quarter the High had placed the ball on the Normal's five-yard line, and then the Blue and White warriors held the line, the High thus losing the ball. The Normal then kicked out of danger. Again, later in the game, the ball was on the Normal's one-yard line, and our boys held for three downs and the High failed to carry the ball over the line. The one play in which the High excelled was a fake, in which Gaffney, their quarter-back, carried the ball in a quick plunge through the line. This was the play which they used time and again, and was the one which gave them their first score. This was in the second quarter, and their other touchdown came in the fourth quarter, after the Normal team, in an attempt to play both the High eleven and the officials, had somewhat gone to pieces. In this last quarter the game was devoid of good football playing, and was marked only by constant disputes and occasional slugging and rough work. The line-up: High— —Normal Tidball center Hawkins Otto left guard Marshall Howard .,,., left tackle Moultray ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 30 ---------- 30 THE MESSENGER Wheeler left end Copenhaver Meade-Aiken right, guard Sloan Thiel right tackle Tidball Peters right end Kraiisc W. Southerland right halfback Gubbins McPherson fullback Bast Morgan left halfback H. East Gaffney quarterback Cade BASKET-BALL "How do you feel after the game?" "I can hardly navigate, how are you?" "I love to play Basket-ball." "Doesn't she play dandy?" " I wonder who will make first team?" "Don't forget practice tonight!" These are a few of the remarks that can be heard as you pass through the halls. Basketball season has started in all its glory; and each athletic girl is going to take advantage of her opportunity in helping win the Kline Cup for her Class. The Seniors were the first to make their appearance for practice on the evening of October 17. The line-up was excellent. The old players who have not played for years went into the game, as enthusiastically as if they had never stopped, and some of the new girls, who have never handled the ball, played like old players. Under the excellent management of Miss Stark and their coach, Mr. Holcombe, the Seniors are looking forward for some good playing. The Juniors are out in full force with, all their old and new ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 31 ---------- THE MESSENGER 31 players. They are working hard and will give any learn a hard fight to win. What Era Franklin, their manager, lacks in size, she makes up in enthusiasm and Class spirit. Mr. Bond, the Junior's stand-by, is out with his smile and good will to coach them, and with his assistance they will climb the ladder and print 1heir name in the "Hall of Fame." The First Years are the third in the line to go out into lite field of Athletics. Although they arc light that is no sign they cannot play; for last year we had as an example when the Second Years held their ground so bravely. Wake up!!! other Classmen, and organize your teams. The Final games will be here and you will be sleeping. • • • EXCHANGES. We are always glad to receive Exchanges and will see that none are neglected or overlooked. We received many Exchanges too late for our last issue, but will send our "Messenger" this month. It is the privilege of the students to ask for other papers to be placed on our Exchange list. We want you all to take an active interest in this department as we know everyone enjoys reading the many good Exchanges which we receive. The Whims, from Broadway High School: Your cuts and photographs are especially good; your directory of "Whim's" advertisers and system of coupons is the best we have ever seen in any of the papers. "The Bugle," from Monroe, Michigan: Your paper, though small, is very interesting. Your jokes and editorial cuts are good. "The Mankatonian," from Mankato, Minn : Your two poems were very good. Poems always add greatly to the attractiveness of the papers. You need a few good cuts. ''The Boosl e r , ' ' from Chadron, Nebraska. You have the right spirit. Just keep on boosting. The " E h Kah Nam," from Walla Walla High School: You are a good, breezy little paper. We like your style and cuts. "Vox Studentis," from Union City, Tenn.: Your material is good, but some good cuts would add greatly to the appearance of your paper. "The Kodak," from Everett: Your literary Department could be worked up, but your class notes and jokes are especially good. We hope to receive many more exchanges next month than we did this one. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 32 ---------- 32 THE MESSENGER IN THE AUDITORIUM. Mr. John J. Edens, one of JBellingham's most noted pioneers, was born in Kentucky, from whence his parents moved to Missouri, and thence to Puget Sound, and for about forty years, Mr. Edens has resided in the Puget Sound region in the vicinity of Bellingham and has watched its marvelous growth. Early in the settlement of this region good schools were established and in 1895 our own B. S. N. S. was started. Mr. Edens, as one of the first trustees, worked laboriously for its construction. All these years he has labored cheerfully and willingly on the Board and still remains the honored Senior member. The past Summer, Mr. Edens made a trip to the East, the first since his residence in Washington, and in Atlantic City joined 15,000 veteran soldiers in their great encampment in that city. With pride he tells how for three hours, the 15,000 veterans marched in procession, and less than two hundred dropped out of the ranks because of fatigue. Spurred on by memories of former days and refreshed on the way by cooling drinks of ice water from the hands of daintily white-gowned children, who stood ready to serve them, they marched gallantly on, amid the vast throngs who assembled to do them honor. On former battle fields he again stood and with old comrades and old friends, some of whom, strange to say, wore the gray, he drove over the fields and in memory went back to the '60's. Just before his departure, Mr. Clark, the registrar, camera in hand, visited Mr. Edens in his home and succeeded in securing an excellent photograph. This he quietly showed to the other members of the Board, and with their heartiest co-operation, had it enlarged. Upon his return, Mr. Edens, with Mr. F. F. Handschy and J. J. Donovan, the other members of the Board of Trustees, were asked to visit the Normal that they might meet the students, so that the students might know them. A secret, draped in "Old Glory," was seen on the platform, as all gathered for morning assembly. Dr. Mathes presented Mr. F. F. Handschy, the Junior member of the Board, and after a short address to the students on Mr. Edens' work as a member of the Board, at his signal the Misses Richard and Freeborn tore back the drapery of "Old Glory,'' and there stood unveiled the splendid enlarged picture of John J. Edens. It was a genuine but pleasant surprise to Mr. Edens and the School. The picture now hangs in the Trustees' Room, an in-spiriation to all. ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 33 ---------- THE MESSENGER 33 The regular long assembly of Friday was postponed on Oct. 14th, until the following Monday when Mrs. Headlee very charmingly gave a stereopticon lecture on our own fair, balmy Hawaiian Islands. Mrs. Headlee has recently made the trip and the pictures she presented were those secured during her sojourn among the islands. • We were delightfully entertained by Mr. Bond and Mr. Bevor at the Assembly period of Oct. 22. Mr. Bond and Mr. Bever told their vacation experiences. We are always glad to hear from faculty members. • We hardly realized that such talent was in our midst until last Friday morning, when we were agreeably surprised by a program given by Student talent. The rendition of the following program was so much appreciated that we want a repetition of a Student program: STUDENT PROGRAM. Normal Auditorium, October 28, 1910.

The Second Year Class of the High School was organized early in September. The last year's Constitution was amended and adopted and the following officials were elected: Evelyn Newell President Horace Mather Vice-President Irma Wright Secretary-Treasurer Franklyn Sly Sergeant-at-Arms The First Year Class was organized Oct. 1, 1910. Officers were elected, as follows: Mary Riordan President Darrell Williams Vice-President Fred Horst Secretary Thomas Allison Treasurer Thomas Bulmer Sergeant-at-Arms ---------- Messenger - 1910 November - Page 34 ---------- 34 THE MESSENGER With fifty energetic boys and girls (more than twice the number we had at this time last year) the Normal High School seems to be a success in every way, with long years of prosperity stretching before it. Although not many of last year's pupils are back this year, the new Students bring new ideas and hopes with them and we are more fortunate than before. Both grades are working for the betterment of all, physically, mentally, morally and socially. There is much Class spirit in each organization, and several harmless clashes have occurred. Both grades are in the race for The Messenger pennant and each intends to win. On the whole, the High School seems to be flourishing and becoming an important factor in the School. We all feel that no small amount of our success is due to the guiding hand of Mr. Patchin. He has given unreservedly of his time and energy to bring us where Ave are today. The first social event of the season occurred about three weeks ago when the new Class was entertained by the Tenth Grade. Although the gathering consisted chiefly of chaperons, they were all so interested in each other that both Classes had a most delightful time. For various good reasons the boys have attempted nothing in the line of football this season. But basketball is not slighted. The boys are turning out for.practice and expect to be in good condition soon. What they lack in weight they gain in speed; and although some of the fellows never saw a basket-ball before, all handle it like experts. Swartz, forward on last year's team, plays the same position and was chosen captain for this year. • • * NEGATIVE THANKFULNESS Ma says 'at tomorrer's Thanksgivin' An' we ought to be thankful a lot; But in tryin' to count up my blessings I'm thankfullest fer what I ain't got.

Jackie Souder's nine-piece orchestra fromSeattle will feature popular music for dancing between the hours of 9 and 1 o'clock.

Known far and wide in America as amilitant champion and eloquent spokesman for the forces of freedom, Archduke Otto was born in 1912,the eldest son of Archduke Charles of Austria-Hungary and of Princess Zita of Bourbon-Parma. SinceWorld War II, Archduke Otto has continued to keep up political work to free Austria and Hungaryfrom totalitarian-domination. His name was prominently mentioned during the trial ot Hungary's CardinalMendszenty and since then he has been time and time again denounced by Russian and otherCommunist papers as "one of the most dangerously hostile forces in Europe." IN AMERICA NOWFOR ANOTHER of his extended lecture tours, Archduke Otto will stress the present danger Europeand America face, identify the main danger zones and present his thought-provoking ideas on howdemocracy can be preserved to bring peace and contentment once again to the free men and womenof the world.

Western will have them all this Saturday as the Viks host the University of British Columbia and Eastern Washington in theEvergreen Conference swimming championship meet. This is the biggest event this season for theswimming and diving stars of the respective schools. Due to the large number of events andparticipants a preliminary meet will be held tonight at 7:30 in the Western pool. The men who qualify inthis elimination will perform in the finals to be held at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. WESTERN HASPOSSESSION of the Conference trophy for the championship last year. Western, however, is notexpected to make a repeat performance of last year's efforts, for the Savages and the Thunderbirds aretwo of the top contenders for Conference honors. The trip east of the mountains was in vain asWestern lost to Eastern 69-17 Friday and to Washington State last Saturday. AFTER SWIMMING atEastern the day before, the Viking crew fared better against the larger WSC squad by garnering 28points to the Cougar's 55. In this contest the Viks captured first place in the 440 yard medley. MikeBerg, Trev Barrett, Howard Arnold and Hans Lorentzen splashed through the water in 5:52.2 to pick up five points. The 440 medley involves four swimmers, with each swimmer using a different stroke topropel themselves the length of the pool. Western has suffered many defeats this year due to thelosses of veteran swimmers. Graduation, in-eligiblity, and transfers have cut deeply into the WesternSwim ranks. The Vikings won last year but the situation has changed this season as the swim men areyet to win a meet. Weather Slows Tennis Start, - Lappenbusch Poor weather has been the cause forsome concern to Charles Lappenbusch, tennis coach. COACH LAPPENBUSCH revealed thatbecause of the weather the courts nets aren't up yet and that he will have to wait for further results onwho will be returning for athletic competition this spring. Western will have three letter-men returning;Ken Moffett, Gerald Schiele and Dick Endersbe. The Vikings will again use the ladder system with the letter-men holding down the top' positions. In order to unseat a player above on the "ladder" anaspirant must win two victories over his opponent. The fight for fifth and sixth positions should be agood one this season as the Holly Shoe Repair And Sporting Goods Joe Martin, Owner 206 E. Holly St. Phone 4908 race will be wide open. The incentive is that the five men will be allowed to travel with the squad on road trips and the sixth will not. "Fine caliber tennis at the top of the ladder is the big thing inconference play. I hope Tom Erick-son can be our number one player, otherwise I am- counting j gt;nMoffett," Lappy stated. Erickson was one of the best players at the University of Washington lastyear but he will not be eligible until May sixth. Lappenbusch also hopes that he can contact moreoutstand- , ing tennismen to help the other players. He is striving for top competition in practice also.WESTERN MEETS Central Washington sometime in late April for their first match. A definite schedulehas not been worked out yet. By JOHN BETROZOFF Remember tonight at 7:30. are the preliminariesfor the Evergreen Conference swim meet and tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 the finals start. Western will bedefending against a potent UBC team and a strong Eastern squad. Drop out to the pool for some fineaqua displays tonight. THE BIG ENROLLMENT IN THE MEN'S PE PROGRAMS is indicative of alldepartments at Western Washington. The crowded conditions are beginning to "bust out all over."Plans,for a bigger physical education plant have been submitted already but it doesn't look too hopeful. If appropriations are not granted, Western can look for tighter times. The college will probably bulgeunder a higher enrollment next year. And Betrozoff to complicate matters, Western is just one of theWashington institutions that is feeling the crowded conditions. The difference is Western is increasingfaster. AN ATHLETIC PROGRAM DOES NOT CHANGE IN MIRACULOUS PROPORTIONS IN ONEYEAR. Our BOC awarded 12 $150 athletic scholarships last spring and and they are just coming intouse. And some students are wondering why Western is not on top already. Well, we haven't taken achampionship yet and prospects are not good that we will. , Our Athletic Director, Charles Lappenbusch,pointed out the athletic dilema in 1953 saying that Western wouldn't win a football game in 1955 if thedownward trend in athletics was continued by the institution. Lappy was fooled when Western won one game in 1955. Then we got scholarships. Coach John Kul-bitski debuted last fall as Viking grid boss andwas quoted as saying that it will be a good three years before the scholarships will take hold. And that 12 scholarships was not sufficient for the four major sports. Basketball mentor Jack Hubbard said amen tothese words numerous times. WESTERN GOT OFF THE BOTTOM THIS YEAR. And from now on will go up, but not like a skyrocket. Other schools are improving their programs too. Many have far superiorprograms'. Western will meet stumbling blocks on their way up, but the significant thing will be' that theywill be going up. It takes time to do anything. Western hasn't been known for its athletic achievements for quite some time. Much additional time will pass before the college is noted.

Views expressed hereare not necessarily those of the College Administration or the majority of the students. THE COLLEGIANwelcomes student contributions, which will be judged on their timelines and interest, and letters to theeditor, which must be limited to 200 words and are subject to editing. Hiii'iil of P o lk The Collegian hasreceived criticisms from numerous sources, stating that it seems to have no consistent editorial policy.We have, in fact, been accused of not even ^having one. Herewith we set forth the editorial policy of theCollegian that has been in existence, but unpublished, since the present editor assumed his office. Thisis our policy, has been our policy, and will continue as our policy as long as the present editor holdsoffice. Our policy: 1. 2. 3. 5. To present a modern weekly college newspaper, that interprets the newsindependently, presents the news interestingly and in a live manner, and reserves an editorial section that interprets, criticizes, and praises freely within the bounds of law and decency. To allow for presentation of the views of the individual student. .To pursue a news policy that will make the student ever more awareof his student government, its actions, and the people in itâ€”without serving as a propaganda agency forany group. To stand for better student representation, for better student government and more studentgovernment, and to stand against the turning of student elections into popularity contests. To make theCollegian a more interesting newspaper by integrating the headline, the printed word and the picture into a modern news unit. The editorial policy of a newspaper,is usually the expression of its executive; such istrue in our case. Whether the policy is good and followed consistently is to be decided by the reader.â€”Ken Robertson Censor Board Caught In A Furor BELLINGHAM'S CENSOR BOARD IS SITTING INTHE MIDDLE OF A FUROR, the-Bellingham Herald reported Wednesday, and the city hall is unable todetermine how the Board even began. Since the Herald's reporting of the Censor Board's last meetingand the publication of last week's Collegian editorial on the Board by the Herald, several developmentshave taken place. â€¢ * * IN THE LETTER ADDRESSED TO THE HERALD EDITOR (a copy of whichwas forwarded to the Collegian editor), Dorothy Jackson, a member of the Board, stated "For manyyears the Bellingham Board of Censors has endeavored to encourage the people of our communityto attend movies recommended as either adult or family type entertainment, and to discourage vendors from making available to children unsuitable printed material. "Not only were these functions madeknown at the board meeting attended by your representative, the remarks treating unkindly theattentions of the press and the attitude of the college students of our town were denounced by atleast one member of this board." Wednesday, Mayor John Westford stated he has not yet made anydecision on how to resolve Letter to Editor: WE would like to thank students and organizations fortheir excellent cooperation in ASB elections this week. Special thanks go to the following people on theElections committee'. Gordon Kimbell, special assistance throughout the election; Jim Kelly, assemblychairman; Sally Cays, Jeri McNutt, Dave Kraft; house competition; Marion Kemp, posters and Dr.August Radke, advisor. Thanks to the Collegian for excellent publicity, to Harley Stafford, Visual Aides Dept., and to all the houses entering in a house competition. To the excellent job done by alh the Poll Clerks and to Dr. Alexander Zawackvjofe-ilie posters.- M,ost important, How,eyer, were all the students'who VOTED. \J ARLENE GANNON â€¢ n ALJUNG Co-chairmen ASB Elections Committee the furorswirling around the Board which is accountable only to him. HE REPLIED IN ANSWER TO DIRECTQUESTIONS that he has never attended a meeting of the Censor Board, has not spoken or written to the board as a whole regarding its actions, does not know how the Censor Board was originally setup, has not been furnished with any of the publications which the Censor Board has recommended bewithdrawn from local public consumption, and has not seen any minutes of the board, though he does get telephone calls on occasions from some board members regarding some board actions. â€¢â€¢â€¢Veteran city hall observers say they cannot recall definitely how the Board was originally set up,according to the Herald. "Bellingham has had a Censor Board since bull was a pup," one longtime cityemploye said. A check of the city ordinance index showed an ordinance creating a Board of Censorswas rejected by the City Council in March of 1929, almost two years after being introduced and referredto the council committee of the whole. Mayor Westford stated that he appointed present members ofthe Board because it had been in existence under previous mayors. City Clerk Alfred Loop says theBoard is directly responsible to the mayor, requires no City Council confirmation of appointments and isnot set up by the charter or city ordinance. â€¢ â€¢ * The question then is: how was the Board set up,why is it functioning, is there a need for it, and what powers does it have? Mayor Westford said heintends to confer with the city attorney to determine just what powers the Board actually has. THERESULTS WILL BE INTERESTING. This Board, responsible only to the mayor, has used its position,according to the Herald, to seek police department action in enforcing its recommendations, but thepolice chief has said he is not willing to take such action without the j board going through the mayor'soffice. jj-; \ \ It seeyns J.lfflt Bellingham's city officers aim ' ^ city boards) vrCHhis erne, need a bit morecorrelation; when a board operates without its actions being known to its superiors, there is likely to b'e a lot of confusion and a lot of'mW%riderstanding.': There may be a need for a Censor Board, but ipsposition, powers and-actions should be"clarified, '" "I don't understand the game. I just come to watch thegirls." Getting the Work Done While the Board of Control pushes itself through the throes ofparliamentary panics each week, some of the most important, and far reaching, action on campus goesfaithfully on under the direction of individuals called committee chairmen. This week itself saw theculmination of the work of Al Jung and Arlene Gannon's Elections committee. Ther concentrated workhas brought, and is still bringing, some new concepts to Western's elections, including more intelligentand concentrated jobs of bringing the words of the candidates to the voters. Their bringing of thecandidates to the houses, where they spoke on their own and showed their true colors, was a giant stepin elections progress; and we suspect that these new ideas are due in no little measure to the help of the committee's advisor, Dr. August Radke. We could go on and list the other committee chairmen, but they will be recognized at more auspicious times, since we could not possibly list all their achievements inone issue. These chairmen, and the student executive office, where Ken Moffett and Joel Carlson holdsway, have accomplished more for the student and for his relations with the administration-other thanworshipful prostrationâ€”than has been done in a long time. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ' Hammer in OtherHands LAST WEEK THE BOARD OF CONTROL ATTEMPTED TO NAIL the "Collegian" to a spiked postby quizzing next year's editor as to what could be done to better relations between the BOC and the"Collegian." This week the hammer is in different hands. From the questions! posed by the Board itappears as though the BOC desires no publicity on their actions except that which they monitor. The"Collegian" has maintained a liberal policy of holding the Board accountable for its actions. The BOCshould realize, however, that when they select an editor they should, not select his policies. If thesestudent officials are not willing to prosper by just criticisms then they should join the Bellingham CensorBoard and get out of student government.. Only a few short weeks ago the BOC openly attacked . the"Collegian" for its inadaquate coverage of campus news in one issue. The present editor accepted thiscriticism for what it was. An attempt to better inform Western students on WWCE events. The followingweek me paper corrected these errors. THE "COLLEGIAN" ACCEPTS REMARKS IN THE LIGHT theyare given. And we do not intend to operate the paper with a flashlight with only one battery when studentgovernment action demands comment. â€”Ronn Beams ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1957 March 1 - Page 6 ---------- Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN March 1, 1957 WESTERN mm â€¢ Covering theCampus . . . . . . WITH DAVE AMOS From what we hear, the skiing on Mt. Baker was, to say the least, poor last weekend. It sleeted quite a bit up there. Well, better luck next week ski fans, For those whocrave good worth while entertainment, "I Am A Camera" is playing this weekend at the Moose temple.The play is good, and the cast is even better. In this one, even the "bit" players don't let the show down,as their parts are very well played. Go on down and see it if you want a good time. Say, tonight is thenight of the Junior Prom. It promises to be a real ball. We won't make book on the Queen candidates . . . we like 'urn all. In case you don't already know, the winner of the'"Loud House of the Year Trophy" wasKluane Hall. Those gals were the most consistent noise makers and team supporters during basketball season. For all those peons who don't like this rag, I advise them to read last Tuesdays evening'sBellingham Herald, the editor's editorial concerning the censor board was printed completely on theeditorial page of the Herald. Talking about the censor board, we wonder how many college students uphere at Western are "drying off behind the ears." It seems to us that a large percent of the students areover twenty-one years of age, and on occasion, can think for themselves.

To that columnist, all I have to say is, "at least I don't have to make up my own news . . . " We were betrayedby the weather last week; it managed to snow, rain, and sleet.

By DAVE VANBRONKHORST ASB ELECTIONS THIS QUARTER ARE ALL OVER BUT the shouting, so it seems, and Western has a slate of officers and BOC members to carry through the coming year. At this point wemake the following observation. The winners of the elections will now initiate and promote programswhich they outlined in their campaign platforms. At least it is assumed by their constituents (and otherinterested parties) that they will do so. But what about the losers? Does losing an election mean thatyou can contribute nothing more to student govenment? Never let it be said! All too often this assumption is made, and the people who didn't win the offices silently fade away into obscurity and are never heardfrom again. Consider this . . . if the ideas you were advocating were worth running a campaign on, if theymerited that much energy, that much work, certainly they should remain in your mind worth working forbehind the scenes. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING that nothing* can be accomplished byanyone who isn't on the Board of Control, either. Board of Control members have no monopoly oninitiative! More things are wrought by the men behind the leaders than this world dreams of . . . and thisis the kind of thing we need . . . people to work for accomplishments, even though they may receive fortheir labors, no recognition.

The latest in the big Hi Fi sound is stereophonic tape recordings which are scheduled and expected to overpower the recording trend for phonographs. The effect isachieved by using two microphones placed a certain distance apart then played back through dualamplifiers from strategically placed dual speakers. The effects from this system are surpassing Hi Firecords though a fezo points do need ironing out. Another stereophonic system has Oeen devised bythe local radio sta,' tions, KPUG and KVOS.

In the past few months there has been a great deal of grumbling by certain members of tne Legislature. They are grumbling because they think that ASB President Jerry Baker has been removing many of their responsibilities and placing them in the hands of hisCabinet. Baker has been striving to make the Legislature a more efficient body by allowing them toconcentrate their abilities and duties, rather than having their hands in every item of businessconcerning ASB. Baker is trying to reconstruct ASB to make it a better organized and morefunctional body. One of the President's ideas is to meet occasionally in an informal manner to discusssome of the problems of student government. He called such a meeting last Saturday to discussparliamentary law, structure of ASB, duties and responsibilities of ASB members, relationship of ASBto clubs and other organizations, academic and social discipline and joint student-f a c u i t ycommittees. The meeting was well publicized, and members of the Legislature were urged to attend,along with Cabinet members, Union Board members and representatives of AWS and Norsemen. Theattendance of the meeting was apalling. AWS and Norsemen each had a representative, twomembers of the Union Board, and some members of the Cabinet were present. However, just sixmembers of the Legislature came. One or two others had excuses for not being present. Theabsence of members Bob Burgoyne, Joel Everett and Gary Gerhard was conspicuous. The meetingwas, for the most part, a success. The informal atmosphere greatly enhanced communication ofideas and thought-provoking discussion. Perhaps Baker and his ideas are better understood, andperhaps there will be less grumbling. However, three members, doubtlessly, will go on grumbling. P |The Marshall U Plan H R by Marshall Â§mBk Bronson Last week I intimated that there seem to besome questions about rules on our campus. To be sure, we have one pertaining to almost anythingthat could happen and perhaps some things that couldn't. I do not propose to examine the rules, but,rather, the ideas behind them. There are a few basic assumptions that we must make to lt;be able tosuccessfully communciate with each other. First, we must assume that all the people of whom wespeak are college students between the ages of 17 and 22, and secondly, that when we refer to therules we are speaking of those on a local level. It would be most foolhardy to try and change those of the Capitol. It would seem in the college situation that laws and rules are made to stop a troublesomeevent or to create an atmosphere of order and serenity. It is true that the college must take certainresponsibilities toward the actions of the students that they teach. It would require some sort ofregulation to maintain silence in the library so that the majority could study, and also another set of rules to lorm the procedure for the use of library facilities. There are also rules of a less formal nature that arein operation in the classrooms of Old Main and the other buildings. Personal freedoms guaranteed As needful as many of these rules are, it would seem that when a great many are created to govern notonly the educational aspects of the student, but also his social life, they are moving out of the school'sresponsibility. The private life and the personal freedoms of individuals are guaranteed rights in theConstitution of the United States. I t would seem that the philosophy behind the rules and regulations ofthe administration is the same as that of Theodore Roosevelt when he said, "No man is above the lawand no man is below it, nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it." Notethat last line. It is perhaps significant in our case, for very rarely is the student asked his opinion about a subject. If he is, it is a mere formality and his opinion is almost meaningless. This is but the first partof our little study, but I would like to leave you with a quotation from Thoreau to think about until nextweek. "Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will obey it." LETTERS. . . Where will it all end? To the Editor: I seem to be under the wrong impression about college. Isn't college the place where we aresupposed to learn and ibetter ourselves so that we will be able to teach generations to come?Somewhere in our midst there seems to be a person or persons who believe differently. This individual or individuals are known by the common name of "thief." By one means or another they have discoveredthat it is easier to "steal" a book than to buy one. I can see the person now just saying to himself, "Well, I just saved another eight dollars." Do these types of people have any feelings? Evidently not. Itseems it has happened before in this institution ol "higher" learning. The frightening thing about it is, how can a person or persons stand by and let others steal. These persons are no better than the individualwho does the stealing. I can't really see how one could take a book at 12 noon in Edens Hall withoutbeing noticed. There must be a couple of "students" with this on their conscience, if they have one. It'stoo bad that these people get away with it. This type of a person will not stop with just a book. This wasproven last quarter with a mannequin which was located in the Student Union Building. Where will itall end?

Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN January 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 3 ---------- Selected portrait artist To the Editor: I was abruptly iniormed by members of the Knpsun staff that mypicture would not be accepted for tnis year's publication of our school annual unless I hired theservices of a portrait artist previously selected by our ASB president to take the portraits of all thestudents. I have accepted witnout complaint regulations which require me to n-nancially support tneathletic program as wen as the Artist and Lecture Series and other entertainment from which I, asan older married man with four children, derive little or no benefit. However, since I agreed that suchprograms are good for the majority of the students in this institution, I pay unprotestingly. Furthermore, I do not object to regulations which require me to buy a new (bookstore, parking sticKers, schoolpaper and annual. However, when some student or students in this College display the unmitigatedaudacity of signing a contract ordering me to spend my money with a portrait artist of their choicelor a portrait of my face to put in my annual, I prepare to do battle! Upon asking a member of theKlipsun staff why such a ridiculous regulation was imposed, he informed me that having all portraitsmade by one artist was necessary for uniformity in the annual. Even though this answer is commonlyused to justify such arrangements, I submit that the statement is absolutely false. Furthermore, I speakas an authority on this subject as I have been a professional portrait artist who owned and operated myown studio and have made hundreds of portraits of students for their school annuals for many yearspast. Any time the staff of an annual is really concerned about uniformity, of lighting, background andhead-size in the cuts they employ, they can simply submit this information to all local artists and refuseto accept cuts unless they meet these specifications. Any experienced artist expects this and finds itmost simple to conform. This fact was known by those who made the exclusive contract arrangements with Juke's studio, unless they were total asses; so I must conclude that they had an ulterior motive.Even though I have not yet investigated i'ar enough to determine the veracity of the statement. A portraitis a work of art and not a commodity purchased in a store. It is a study of a personality rather thansimply a map of the face. If uniformity is the only concern of our Klipsun staff, they may as well use thepictures on our ASB cards. Although they are certainly uniform and much less expensive, I hardlyconsider them as portraits. If we want to be assured of continuous high quality in portraits oranything we purchase, as well as a reasonable price, we must adhere to the principles of competitionand free enterprise which has made America the greatest country in the world and which our educatorsembrace. When we tolerate our elected officers to violate these basic democratic principles bydictating to us where we must spend our own money or not be able to have our portrait in the annual which we had to purchase to be able to attend this college, we are acting as stupidly as did the Nazis who followed Hitler. I'm certain that these same officers could make other favorable monopoly contractarrangements requiring us to patronize a certain barber, auto business or clothing store in the name ofuniformity if we the students would permit it! I submit that you, the students of WWC, are equally guiltyfor this deplorable contract because you have permitted it. I know that many of you resent it as muchas do I. So, speak up, please! Eugene W. James Athletic scholarships To The Editor: Roger Myers, ina recent Collegian article, "Western Basketball," has presented quite an interesting case advocatingmore money for scholarships and more space for crowded athletic conditions. Mr. Myers states thatthe "new gym will undoubtly help build up the program" and that the primary concern is money. If thisis the case there should "be no major concern over the need for more space since a new building is nowunder construction. Then, only one proposal should remainâ€” that of obtaining more money forathletic scholarships (basketball scholarships). Here again I find that a real need does not exist, at leastMr. Myers has not presented any valid type of evidence. His only reason is, "Every other school in theconference has a better plan for athletic scholarships than Western does." This is the same type ofreasoning that advertisers use in "helping" Americans decide what product to buy. Reasoning of this type is the creator of mass psychologyâ€”of everyone doing what everyone else is doing. This, verybluntly, is conformity. At present the students are paying $1800 for athletic scholarships. Next year,1961-1962, the amount will be $2142. This being so, I ask, "Why doesn't the student help pay forscholarships for people in English, biology, economics; why do the people in the Athletic Departmentget special attention?" It is interesting to note at this point that the article pointed out the need for some athletes to have jobs; it might do us well to rememiber that others on this campus have to have oddjobs, be lab assistants, or be readers. Until Mr. Myers gives some type of v a l i d reasoning for athleticscholarships, I am not convinced that they are necessary. Don C. Smith MODEL UNITED NATIONS Inthe midst of cold winds In the midst of the cold winds here on campus a small group of students arebusily dreaming of the warmer climate of the tropics. The students are the members of the Model UnitedNations delegation which will represent Western as Costa Ricans at thje 11th session of the MUN atthe University of Oregon, April 12-15. Each member of the delegation has 'been assigned to a specificcommittee of the UN and must be a specialist on it when the delegation leaves Belling-ham.

Your faith in the glories of human nature has proved completely unwarranted. To reiteratethe obvious, I have returned. The first amazingly erudite thing I have to offer is, regrettably, a note ofapology. There will be no contest this week. I wanted to speak upon navels, but after great reflection and meditation upon my own, decided that navels were a ticklish subject and not to be poked around (in). Ifthe Censorship Board hereabouts retires (or dies off) or something, I may get to do something nastywith my ideas. So until that great gettin' up morning you are just out of luck. * * * College is not just aclassroom â€” not just four years of crammed knowledge. There is so much beyond the four walls of alecture hall; the dances, Memory Walk, the cheers at a game. All this is a pretty sneaky way to get tothe meat of my beef. Cheers! Or to be more specific, school spirit, or the lack of same. Here at thisesteemed institute of higher learning (well, we are on a hill) there is a most grievous lack of studentparticipation in our athletic events. I do not know the cause or the remedy for this, I can only deplore it. I have been at this school since 1958 and can ask the new students only one question â€” Where'sthe gym? * * * PLAUDITS AND PUT DOWN DEPARTMENT I can easily live without the secondquarter freshman girl that is trying to impress me by the number of four letter Anglo-Saxon words shecan use. Maybe I came from a different social background, but a woman that speaks with the patoisof the gutter has never 'proven to me any great level of sophistication. * * * I was going to go to the lastmixer but couldn"t make it at the iinal moment. When I opened the door to go in, I heard a car wreck. Or at least it sounded like a car wreck and I saw bodies flying. Hasn't anyone else ever heard of ballroomdancing? Several, more or less, people have asked me to point the poison pen at January 27, 1961Marshall Bronson. This I will not do. You may or may not like his column, but at least he is trying to dosomething. I notice none of his detractors are doing anything of greater value. And what's more to thepoint, he happens to be bigger than I am. * * * A final note of great importance: Plauenite is a syeniterich in plagi-oclase. "Alice in Wonderland . . . how do you get to Wonderland?" This question wasasked of me the other day. I replied that you just let things get stranger and stranger until at length youare so at home among them that you think everything else odd. "That isn't too good an idea,' came thereply. "You really are not in Wonderland at all, you just think you are . . . then everyone thinks you areout of your mind." "Really," I said, "and how is that going to affect you if you think you are inWonderland?" "Well, they could put you in Northern State . . . you know, the nut farm." "My," Ireplied, "that really would â€¢be terrible because then you would have to start over again, and then when the authorities found out you were not behaving in an insane fashion they would commit you into sane society." "Well, I think you are nuts," he said, getting up and preparing to leave, "tout then I guessthat's because I don't live in Wonderland." He started across the room, shook his head in sympathy,and in the process walked into the wall. "I think you had better come back and sit down a bit," I said."Now that your head is cleared we might be able to talk." He smiled and said, "Have some more tea."Being in a kind mood I followed the dialogue and said, "But I haven't had any!" "Then you can't have anyless . . . have some more!" "I meant spiritual love" It is tragic that most of the people that think me madend up raving themselves. (Take the cue . . . be /BSTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN careful not toread this column too often.) This raving state comes about when they take some things I say seriously.Ninety per cent of my column is good sound advice, but that other ten per cent can have rather badresults. In one column, for example, I told the readers to get out and set the world afire with love. I meant spiritual love, but quite disastrous results occured. Others have thought me to be a Hindu missionary . . . You know . .. "Ye Hindu heralds go proclaim Salvation in Lord Vishnu's name. To distant climes thetidings bear And plant the tree of Brahma there." Well, at times it would be fun to be a missionary ofsorts, but then I might convert myself in the process. Let's ship Stacy to India A certain party, whowould be immediately recognized if I were to mention his name, even contemplated an inquisition . . ."Walk up and down the street and when you come to a house that has a smell of incense lingeringoutside, go in and get the people and light them." This same party tried to form a "let's ship Stacy toIndia" movement. "They deserve it, because their literature got him started." Well, the clouds of incensesmoke have settled down, I have .been declared safe at large, because Nehru has established a veryhigh import duty on me and the party I mentioned became asphixiated one night while hiding in myincense burner . . . For three days I thought it was the low grade incense that was causing the smell."SWEETHEARTS BALL" Under the supervision of co-chairmen Dick Hayes and Penny Sullivan, plansfor the "Sweetheart's Ball," which will be held Feb. 11, are progressing rapidly. This event will be thefirst of its kind to he sponsored jointly .by the Norsemen and the AWS. The highlight of the evening willbe the crowning oi' the sweetheart couple. The candidates are selected by the AWS Commission andnarrowed down to five couples. The final choice will be made by the student body. The dance will beheld in the Viking Union from 9-12 p.m. Booths will be set up for couples wishing to have their picturetaken. The price for this semi-formal aftair will be $1.50 per couple; however, only 250 tickets will 'beavailable. Page 5 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 6 ---------- Â©ntwlatuma until SUgulatumB DUELS WITH RULES . . . by Judy Borman The torn and tangled web ofcollege living rules for women needs mending. Geared to a day when Navy ships docked in the cityharbor and Western was not yet established as a progressive college, these rules have long been inneed of revision. Each year the coed becomes more and more aware of the ifact that, though societalmores regarding women have changed considerably in the past few years, college rules have not. Asearch light each night Today's young women are capable of taking care of themselves. While most ofher contemporaries are accepting the freedom and responsibilities of married or business life, thecollege girl is forced to live the life of the dorm, with its highly complex and often irrational web of rules.She is told what to wear when, what time she must come in each night, when she is allowed to makewhat sounds and how to take care of her room. She is subject to the intrusion of a search light eachnight and she does not have a good atmosphere for studying, nor is she allowed to entertain guests. Forthose girls who do not object to this regulated life, dormitories and houses will suffice, but tor those whowant to develop some living responsibilities and have a taste of being truly on their own, an alternativeshould be offered. Lack of faith The logical alternative, of course, wouxd be to let college women maketheir living arrangements independent of the college, 'providing that their parents will assumeresponsibility i'or them. Though the rule requiring women to live in supervised housing must havebeen made for some sound reasons, the main implication is that college girls are not mature enoughto lead a moral and responsible life without the forced assistance of rules, regulations andhousemothers, an attitude which indicates an astounding lack of faith in the character of the nation'si'uture teachers and educators. Even though it may be true that some girls would not lead the mostdiscreet lives if allowed to be on their own, this should be the concern of the girl and her parents, not ofthe college. The college's responsibilities should be to provide students with an academic education, not to control their private lives. Many houses and apartments offer living accomodations far superior to those provided by the college for a lesser amount of money, and off-campus housing does not requireroom deposits. Women can get some experience in handling money, planning meals and operating ahome that will be invaluable to them when they are ready to marry or go out into the professionalworld. One of the most obvious advantages of apartment living is vastly improved study conditions, due to space, comfort and privacy. These three points: superior financial arrangements,development of private responsibility and the improvement of study conditions seem to compriselogical reasons for allowing women students to choose their living accomodations independent of thecollege. Changes must be made It seems very unreasonable that a girl who can present an indisputable case for independent living and has her parents' wholehearted support, should be told (by theadministration that it just can't be done. Since the college's only real argument against allowing womento have their own apartments is that the rule book says they can't, it is now time to see that the rulebook is revised. Unofficial polls have shown that the majority of students and faculty members feel thatstudents with their parents' permission should be allowed to live wherever they can find the best living arrangements. It is obvious that changes must be made. WHAT, ME REBEL? The housemothers loveyou! by Karen Bainter Midway upon this night we're hound upon, I awoke to find myself in a dark room .. . (or it was a dark room.) Hark! What light through yonder door doth break? It is the sun!! Eep, no! It isthe proctor! But wait! Do not outcryâ€”Prithee wait? It hath its psychological significance. We must not spoil the mood. The satisfaction of inner needs â€” security â€” to know that someone cares enough tosend away your rest â€”to see that you're sleeping at night. The substitute-mother image â€” the feelingof chlidhood dependence, like mama tucking you in at nit.e Why, it brings tears to my eyes justthinking about it. Why is everyone rebel- Page 6 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN January 27,1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 7 ---------- ling, grumbling, etc? I rebel against rebelling! Girls of the college take note. I am for the upholding olrules. I am for the green AWS Garden of Information. I am even for the ivy-entwined bird house on thefront cover. Women of the College ! Why? Why do you do it? The dean loves you, your housemotherslove you, and the proctors are humanâ€” Why rebel? Here we areâ€”adults, college students,intellectuals, the future of America. Aren't we old Woman of the college "Men, hours, and fire escapes"enough, mature enough and independent enough to appreciate the security that is offered us? Do youwant to be like a working girlâ€” carefree, uncontrolled, insecure, no signing in and out? It is rather likean ugly orange robe which has nothing whatsoever to do with college rules, but has a certain freud-iansignificance. Now people say the rules are medieval. Let's take a tour of the castle grounds and seewhat base their claims rest on. Get out your rockin' stompin' handbook and read along with me. . .Roommates: Look, Jane, look! This is a roommate. See the pretty roommate. We all have roommates. And if you're real good and squeeze your toothpaste tube properly your roommate might turn out tobe your best friend (excluding intrigue and gold fish bowls, of course.) Housing: Housing must besecured. Insecure housing is nasty-poo. To get insecure (housing) you must be married, 21, orclandestinely inclined.

FACULTY SPEAKS "Snowmen and brownie points" byRoger Libby "I think students learn very little in classes; I hope what students get from my classes issomething they can take home and ponder." This is the feeling of Mr. Roy Mumme, new assistantprofessor of education at Western. Mr. Mumme and Mr. Pat Kaye, a student and president of SWEA,spoke on the topic, "How I See the Student." The discussion was one of a series oi faculty-studentconversations to be held each Thursday at 4 p. m. in room li-A. of the Viking Union. Mr. Mumme, whoconstantly amused his audience with his jokes and his southern accent, presented some verythought-provoking ideas. Mumme said that his strongest impression of the Western student is thathe is characterized by relatively low levels of aspiration and expectation in regard to himself, his fellowstudents and apparently even his instructors. It seems that many students are so constantlypreoccupied with the concern of maintaining a "good" grade point average that the excitement of ideas and the time honored goals of a well-rounded education are only remotely viewed. Holding this view ofhimself, the student sets low standards for others, and when students of vigor and genuine intellectualcuriosity do not conform to these low levels of expectation they are frequently looked upon as"snowmen" trying to earn a few "brownie" points with some naive instructor. A dispenser of "goodies"Mumme commented that few students really want to be stimulated or challenged by their instructors.Instead, the teacher is viewed as a dispenser of "goodies" that can be mastered with a minimum of effort. This low "level of expectation" also is relevant to the student's fellow classmates. The student whoexpects little from himself naturally Page 8 expects little from others. Mr. Mumme made it quiteclear that the responsibility of not "sliding" in "intellectual responsibility" rests soundly on theshoulders of the student. He also felt that even if a student is subjected to mediocre instruction, that thestudent still can learn much on his own. But, says Mumme, "Students don't always learn all they aresupposed to . . . even in class; students learn, rather, from wide reading and the exchange of ideaswhich necessarily extend beyond the classroom." Roy Mumme Jokes and a southern accent At thispoint Pat Kaye said a few words. Kaye said that many college professors don't push students enoughat the beginning of a course, and after they have discovered that they have a great deal left to cover,"pour it on" in unbearable loads, which is very poor planning. Kaye also mentioned that students aredisillusioned by what the professor wants. This could be explained in a more understandable mannerat the beginning of a course. Professors often enhance their egos Mr. Mummeâ€”"A favorite pastimeof teachers is to criticize students. It is easy to criticize college students, but it is difficult to steer aconstructive course between the attitudes of the "angry youns man*' and "Big Daddy" who knows all thetherapeutic answers." He said the college professor oiten can "enhance WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN his ego" by making the "gap" between the student and professor as wide as possible.Sometimes the 'prof makes the "gap" so large that he wanders from the "beaten track." In Florida it istraditional for students to slide or even stamp their feet when the prof does or says something theydon't like. This is called "shutfling". Another device which is often employed is the reiterating bystudents of "beep, beep" when the prof is "way out of orbit" in regard to the subject at hand. SaysMumme, "My impression is that it would never occur to Western students to respond in such rebelliousways." Agrees with Kelly The opinions of Mr. Mumme were, by and large, wholly accepted by theaudience. Mr. Mumme mentioned the fact that he agreed completely with William Kelley on his views onnonconformity and the beneficial usage of "anger from within." The next of the informal meetings,which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 2, will feature Dr. Robert Simpson, Principal of the Campus School,and Mr. Jerry Baker, ASB President. STATE LEGISLATURE Ten million requested by MargaretAshburn Facing the State Legislature as it opened two weeks ago was, among other items, a ten million dollar request lor the next biennium from Western Washington College. According to Dr. James L.Jarrett, College president, of this ten million, $7,- 487,700 constitutes the operating budget, one million library expansion, and $900,000 expansion of classroom space and smaller items. Latest reports fromthe Legislature see some $4,997,000 given Western for construction and renovation in the next twoyears. Included in this figure are the following projects: 1) Construction of a classroom building:$898,780. 2) Extension and repair-of steam-line and drainage system: $271,224. 3) Completion of thephysical education building: $187,680. 4) Improvement of the electrical distribution system: $171,688. 5) Renovation of the old Physical Education Building: $27,424. January 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 9 ---------- 6) Purchase of land for future use: $50,000. 7) Residence halls, food facility, equipment, furnishings (allfrom non-state sources â€” Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency loans and student building fee fund): $3,390,000. Reports seem to indicate that Western will be unable to expand its library within the next two years. Until November, the library expenditure was to take precedence over classroomexpansion; however, because enrollment is running a/bout two years ahead of what was anticipatedbefore revised enrollment figures were revealed in November, Harold Goltz "inadequate storage, studyand work space" construction of classrooms was moved up two years. "Library inadequate" "Built inthe twenties tor a much reduced enrollment, the existing library building is inadequate as to storage,study and work space," commented Harold Goltz, now assistant to Dr. Jarrett. "The fact that thegovernor's budget did not include our library addition does not mean that we will not continue to press for it," President Jarrett said recently. "We will ask the Legislature to authorize us to make theseadditions to the library in accordance with our original request," he said further. Goltz, sharing thepresident's opinion, hopes that WWC students will enter the "library campaign." The proposed libraryaddition, according to Goltz, would fold around the new Haggard Hall courtyard. New revenue sourcesneeded Not only Western, but all five of the Washington institutions of higher learning will be able toobtain their total requests only if the Legislature can find new sources of revenue. Governor Rosellinipredicts that only about 12 per cent more than the present biennium budget would be available underpresent taxes. During this biennium, Western was granted slightly over $4,300,000 operatingexpenses, considerably less than the $7,487,700 requested for the next two years. Also before theLegislature is the naming of Washington's schools of education. The proposed name for these colleges,Western included in this number, is State College. Western's name would, if this recommendationpasses, be changed from Western Washington College of Education to Western Washington StateCollege. 0LDE TIMERS . .. From The Northwest Viking The following material was published in TheNorthwest Viking, predecessor of the Collegian and official newspaper of Bellingham Normal School. It was dated Friday, July 6, 1928. * * * "We are here this summer enjoying ourselves to the best of ourability with the necessary conveniences, but now and then we have more or less 'suppressed desires'which we find 'cropping out' in the form of dreams. "When we wish we had a place to go for a real goodfrolic we have to squelch that wish and be content. Suppose that there were enough students who hadsuch 'desires,'suppressed them, dreamed, and made dreams come true? We would have, as a result,perhaps, a Students' Union building with fountain, cafeteria, co-op, Viking office, Klipsun office, Students' Association office, lounges and dance hall. "Is it possible? Let us watch for the opportunity to 'popthe question' and then 'push it.' * * * A party of twenty-six students and faculty members, led by Mr.Pond, Mr. Arntzen and Miss George, of the faculty, which visited the Austin Pass country and TwinLakes Pass, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of last week, reports an excellent week-end's outing. Thegroup visited Heather Meadows, Austin Pass and Table Mountain on Saturday, then returned toShuksan for the night. Sunday, the five-and-one-half mile hike to Twin Lakes Pass was made. wusForty-one countries "Most of us in this country have little concept of what the world is like that we livein." Talking to the WUS executive board, Mrs. Gladys Lawther, Regional Executive for WUS in thestates of Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho, showed slides and explained the objectives andpurposes of WUS, and answered the questions afterwards that the students and iaculty advisors asked.Forty-one countries take part in World University Service, which gives aid to college students throughoutthe world. The richer, prosperous countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand andthe European countries put money in, while the poorer countries take money out, but usually have toearn or raise the majority of the money for the project they are working on themselves. The largestconcerns of WUS are housing, books and health services. Contrast is everyplace The most striking thing that showed up in the slides was the contrast between the old and the new â€” the primitive traditions and the West. Having traveled through a lot of the countries that receive WUS aid, Mrs. Lawtherremarked, "The contrast is everyplace." The money colleges give goes for everything from libraries to TB sanitariums; from living quarters to work parties where college students help illiterates. After answeringpointed questions about how and where the money goes, Mrs. Lawther complimented our past campusefforts, "I've ibeen very impressed with the way you do things here." This year's WUS drive will be held from February 15-21 and is jointly sponsored toy Helmsmen and Valkyrie. FACULTYSCHOLARSHIPS "$100 each" Three juniors, one sophomore and one freshman walked away withfaculty scholarship awards for the year 1959-60. These scholarships, which are given annually foroutstanding academic achievements, are for $100 each â€” no strings attached. The freshman awardwas taken by Ingebord Wills, who had a grade point of 3.98. David Sutherland, last January 27, 1961WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 9 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 10 ---------- year's frosh winner, took the sophomore scholarship with a GPA of 3.88. All three juniors had a perfectrecord oi 4.0. They were Albert Evans, Mrs. Margaret Schiele and Carol Warner. v The assembly, whichwas regrettably very poorly attended, took place last week, with Dr. Alan Ross, Dean of the GraduateDivision of Western, the speaker. Representing the College in full 'faculty dress were Miss Plympton,from the Art Department; Miss Piatt, biological sciences; Dr. Mitchell economics; Dr. "Van Aver,English; Mr. Elmendorf, foreign languages; Dr. Monohan, geography; Dr. Radke, history; Mrs. Larrabee,home economics; Dr. Atteberry, industrial arts; Dr. Rio, mathematics; Dr. Schaub, music; Dr. Aitken,P.E. Department; Dr. Neuzel, physics and chemistry; Dr. Carroll, professional education; Dr. Adams,psychology; Dr. Anastasio, soc-anthro; and Dr. Carlile, speech. The faculty expressed hope that thestudents will take more interest in the scholarships and the assembly in the future. HARRY STIVER"Acting is academic" by Valerie Lockhart Dr. H a r r y Stiver, Director of Theatre Arts and director of hisfirst play at Western, is a dynamically ambitious addition to our faculty, and especially to the DramaDepartment. Dr. Stiver, who is married and has three children, comes to Western after recentlyworking on the staff and completing his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois. He graduated from HastingsCollege, Nebraska, in 1949, and taught high school until 1952, when he worked on the Theatre Staffand received his M.A. from the University of Nebraska in 1953. Stiver then moved to California and in1954 attended Stanford University, Palo Alto, to begin work on his Ph.D. He spent 1955-Â»5j6 as avisiting professor at the University of Athens in Greece, and irom 1956-58 he held the title of Associate Director of Theatre at the University of Illinois. Likes experimental theatres While working at Nebraskaas Associate Director of Theatre, Stiver commented most lavorably on the two experimental theatreswhich the Department operated. According to him, in an educational developmental program such asdrama, a strong ex- Fage 10 perimental theatre is the life-blood of a drama program on campus. One ofthe points he emphasized about college dramatics â€” specifically at Western â€” is that such agreat percentage of the student body is self-supporting and/or carrying extra-heavy class loads that timedoes not permit some Dr. Stiver, Director of the most talented dramatists to participate in plays. In anexperimental theatre atmosphere, acting can be done whenever the time is available for the individual.He expressed hope that enough enthusiasm may be aroused to eventually have experimental theatres at Western. Stiver also said that the main problem he found at Western was the under-estimation of the theatre. "Acting should be regarded as academic discipline rather than mere entertainment. Thetheatre is falsely thought of as a 'performing art,' when actually it is a coordinate of many arts. In order to present an outstanding play, the talents of students in practically every field are utilized." Playemphasizes audience appeal "Skin of Our Teeth," to be given Feb. 16, 17 and 18, was chosen by Stiverbecause, as he stated, "this is one of the few plays that has and will survive the test of time. Its humorand drama will never grow old. It is beautifully written and has an electrifying etfect on the audience."He has wanted to do this play for years. It is particularly good because it calls for a large cast, therebyoffering varied oportunity for many students wishing to participate in the production. The Pulitzer Prizewinning play, written by Thornton Wilder, has a different style â€” emphasizing audience appeal â€”and WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN should ,be one of the most successful plays ever produced at Western. Stiver e x p r e s s e d , in his personal feelings about Western, the existence of a greatdeal of potential interest in dramatics from the students. He strongly feels that, as mentioned before,many of the students who show exceptional talent and interest are handicapped by their financialsituation or academic over-load. LEGISLATURE Bainter named editor by Yvonne Westman Theselection of the 1961-1962 Collegian Editor was the main item of contention at the Jan. 24 Legislaturemeeting. Two applications were accepted, both from well qualified Collegian staff members, MissesKaren Bainter and Judy Borman. Miss Bainter submitted a letter listing her qualifications, which wasread to the Board by the ASB Secretary, while Miss Borman personally presented her plaftorm.Following this a letter of recommendation lor Miss Bainter was read, after which both applicants werefurther questioned as to their planned policies. Satisfaction with format In their policies, Miss Baintermaintained complete satisfaction with the present newsmagazine format, while Miss Borman stressed satisfying student interests in presenting the paper, recommended a change in format if the studentbody so desired, and suggested other changes in the content of the paper. When asked if she wouldever be radical in presentation, she replied both yes and no because of the ambiguity of the question.Yes, she may in some instances be forced to make so-called "radical" presentations, but no that ifany such presentations were made they would ot be in poor taste. Miss Bainter stated "no" that shewould make no radical presentations for the sake of radical presentations, but that she would not avoidthe issues. When the votes were in Miss Bainter was named 1961-1962 Collegian Editor. The oneapplicant for 1961-1962 Collegian Business Manager was found ineligible, so the selection of this officialwas postponed until Feb. 7. Applications for 1961-1962 Collegian Business Manager, 1961-1962 Klip-January 27, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 January 27 - Page 11 ---------- sun Editor, and Collegian Business Manager for the remainder of the 1960-1961 school year must all hepresented to the board on or before noon of this date. Grotto running on deficit Union Board ChairmanMarshall Bronson reported that the Viking Union "Grotto" was running on a monthly deficit of around$80.00 per month last quarter, and explained how the supposedly self-supporting student recreationroom was now operating and the reason for the deilcit. Because of an unauthorized five year contract tomaintain three billiard tables, means of correcting the situation appeared to be rather touchy. Bronson,however, proposed to present some plans for solving the problem at the next board meeting. Themeeting was adjourned following an announcement by President Jerry Baker that a report on the Jan.21 meeting of Legislature, Cabinet, AWS, and Norsemen representatives will be presented at the nextBoard meeting. ANNA RUSSELL "A mobile face" scribed as being "as flexible as a collapsible campchair." She is a statuesque woman with pale blonde hair and electric blue eyes that "never fail to throwoi'f sparks." Anna Russell has parlayed her face, figure and sense of humor into one of the mostsuccessful careers in show business. Traveling around the world year after year, she has managed to fillhouses in the most remote and uncomfortable places in the world. Some of her critics' comments are:"A one woman show with enough laughter for all"; "One of the top satirists of the day"; "The darling ofhalf the world's concert halls"; and "As tine a show woman as the stage knows."

Building billiard tables was. suggestedas a possible solution. Because of the rental agreement on the pool tables now being used, $1.20 perhour must be charged. This is thought to be quite unreasonable by most students, and consequently lew are using these facilities. The Union Board receives only 40% of the profits from the tables. Mr. Goltzreminded the Board that everything had been done to keep the doors open, but there was no "real"advertisement for the room. The idea of moving the television set from Room 10 into the Grotto wasthen suggested. Room 10 could then be free for seminars. With such a plan, there is a possibility ofcreating more use of the vending machines in the Grotto. The Board talked of finishing the work roomand making equipment available for use in making posters and decorations. A craft program might alsobe developed. Students were selected to replace several chairmen who have resigned. Jim Boyles is toreplace Dave Stude-baker as Music Chairman and Linda Stixrud was nominated to replace Carol Brownas Publicity Chairman. No one has been chosen to take Don Price's job as Recreation Chairman. TheArt Committee is planning an art exhibit in co-ordination with the WUS program. No definite date hasbeen set for the exhibit. Jim Boyles, who is in charge of housing for the ACU conference, reported that several plans for housing and other details are ibeing arranged. With a final reminder about theleadership conference to be held Jan. 21? the meeting was adjourned. BARBARA L0GSD0N ; Bright-eyed legislator "Listening and learning" are considered the., prime duties of the senior classrepresentative on Legislature/ Barbara Logsdon. The bright-eyed Legislator, most commonlyrecognized around campus as WWC's I960- ^Homecoming Queen, leels the magnitude of the ASBresponsibilities leave much for her to acquaint herself and those she represents with Page 12 beforeshe can actively contribute to the Board's actions. Supporting this attitude of "being seen but not heard,not just yet anyhow," Barbara complimented the effectiveness ol the informal Legislature meetingheld Feb. 21 to orient new members and define the ASB structure in terms of club and campusrelations. Legislator Logsdon "Listening and learning" Barbara is a music major who plans to teachelementary music "somewhere on the Pacific Coast" after graduation in June. Music and Logsdonare nearly synonymous at WWC â€”watch the College Chorale or listen to the dance band. There is noneed to ask her support and/or enthusiasm for the proposed "Beggar's Opera" next quarter. Barbarais on the Pep Committee for ASB, but "as yet, we've not met!" Asked for an opinion on any of severalLegislative controversies, Barbara again ducked behind her words, "listening and learning."PLACEMENT ''Privacy and confidentiality" "Privacy and confidentiality are two factors needed for a goodinterview," commented Dr. Silvernail, Superintendent of the Edmonds School District. This comment was directed to a gathering of prospective teachers ' in the auditorium last Monday night. A mockinterview followed by a panel discussion answered the question, "What schools look for in hiring."Team interviewing is preferable in most school districts. This means that two persons will interview thecandidate. "The more you interview as a team, the more competent a person becomes in this task,"remarked Dr. Silvernail. Although the privacy and contidentiality factors were missing during the mockinterview, WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN future teachers were able to hear the types ofquestions which are likely to be asked at an interview. "How did you handle discipline while studentteaching,-' was one of the questions asked in respect to the applicant's student teaching experiences. Other questions were of a general nature. For example, "What is your major and minor?" and "Whatmade you decide to become a teacher?" Sincerity, grooming, speech and an interest in other peopleare qualities the interviewer looks for in an applicant. Dr. Silvernail suggested that "students bringquestions of their own to ask the interviewer." Panel discussion Representatives irom the Shoreline, Edmonds, Highline, Seattle and Everett School Districts discussed "do's" and "don'ts" for theapplicant. The panelists agreed that dressing neatly, remembering that the interviewers are humanbeings too, and being yourself were important "dos." The outstanding "don'ts" mentioned by thepanelists were failing to show up for the interview, failing to communicate with the interviewer or givingthe attitude that you know everything. Panelists stressed the "ability to express oneself." A plug forWestern and an applause lor the district representatives was given when one panelist stated that "ManyWestern graduates are sought for teachers because of the quality of learning they acquire at thiscollege." Contract, policy and ethics are the topics of the last of these four meetings. These topicswill be presented on Jan. 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Campus School Auditorium. I. A.

Last weekend the Viks all but sealed the tomb on the once proud Knightsfrom Pacific Lutheran. Handing the Lutes their sixth straight loss (68 to 53) and fourth in five conferencegames, the Viks established themselves as the team to beat as the conference race nears the half-waymark. Tonight the log-jam at the top of the heap will be broken as Whit-worth leaves the protectiveconlines of the Spokane valley and takes a run at the Vikings. The Pirates are Bud Bloch . . . Bigperformance from bench a veteran team relying on the scoring and playmaking of 5'10" guard EdHagen and the rebounding of 6'5" Jay Jackson. Three game win streak Tomorrow night veteran coach"Red" Reese will bring his young team into the Viking lair hoping to extend the Savages' three game winskein. The Redmen should start with a veteran contingent of Dick Han-nan, Walt Hartman, DaveDanielson, Ted Paterson and Harold York. These five have been responsible for the Savages' late rushwhich has pushed them into second place after dropping their first two games to Whitworth. LastSaturday the Viks literally "Bloch-ed" the Lute title hopes. Bud Bloch, senior center, came off the benchand fired in 15 points in addition to playing great defensive ball on Ralph Carr, PLU center. Anotherreserve, Gary Mose, also had one of his better nights. Mose canned 16 points and was in the mainresponsible for cracking the visitors' sagging defense by driving through the middle continuously ior either two points or two foul shots. Herman Washington was the third individual hero as he jumped andsquirmed for 10 field goals and an equal number of rebounds. Again as in earlier games, the benchstrength or depth pulled the game out of the fire. The Lutes stayed even with the Viks for the first 17minutes, but fell behind to stay with three minutes remaining in the half when Mose and Bloch hit forconsecutive baskets to push the Viks in front 18 to 15.

JAYVEE'S JV's beat "team with record" Paced by the scoring of Bill Zage-low, Western's JV's pushed their season's mark to an impressive four wins infive starts last week as they dumped Bremerton Nygards 67 to 56 and Monroe Reformatory 89 to 37. Inthe Bremerton contest, big Bob Gilda plucked 25 rebounds off the boards and stuffed in 10 points as thejunior Viks were never headed. Gary Moore, junior forward, celebrated his return to action by hitting for 16 points, most of them jump shots from the top of the key. The Nygards, paced by Howard Thoemke,former Washington State freshman star, made a battle of the contest for the iirst 12 minutes, but the JV's superiority off the 'boards eventually decided the contest. Against the Reformatory, Bill Zage-lowconnected for 17 points as he led the balanced JV scoring. Every man got into the scoring column withStan Bianchi, Bob Gilda, Talis Abo-lins and John Gregor hitting double figures. RUGBY "Going to thehounds . . ." A grudge match is in store to morrow afternoon as the Vancouver CYO rugby teamattempts to make it two in a row over Western's ruggers at Shuksan playf'ield. The game, to start at2:30, will bring the Viks face to face with the opponent who edged them out for the second divisionchampionship last fall. Last week the Viks made their start in first division play a success as theythumped the league leading Vancouver Trojans, 13 to 6. Outstanding for the ruggers were GaryBridgman, who scored in the first rugby game of his life, Sam Martin, who raced 50 yards to score, andDenny Sheppard, who iced the contest for the upstart "Yankees" by galloping 40 yards. Pete Napperconcluded the Vik scoring by booting two of three conversion attempts. Other stand-outs for theVikings were Herb Langeman, whose fine kicking from the fullback slot kept the Viks out of a hole, andthe scrum and three line, which continually forced opponents into mistakes. The Viking success raisedseveral eyebrows in .the Canadian city as old-timers muttered that ruigby was "going to the hounds ifthese football- loving Yankees are going to be let into the game."

Tomorrow Eastern comes totown and the Viks will attempt to rack up their second straight victory over the Savages at 2 p.m. Lastweek the Viks split a pair of meets, coming from behind to down U.B.C., and dropping a meet to theUniversity of Washington. Against the Thunderbirds, the Viks relied on their 400 yd. freestyle relayteam to garner the victory, 49 to 46. Going into the last two events of Al Hoppenrath Crowd watches form the day the T-Birds had a 45 to 34 edge. The Viks placed one-two in the 200 yd. breaststroke as BobKinkela and Karl Zappfe flashed across the finish line with a solid margin of vi-tory. This brought thescore to 46 to 42 and set the stage for the victorious relay squad. Later in the week, the Huskies from the U of W had too much speed and power as they downed the Viks, 80 to 15. Highlight of the meet was the first place picked up by Dick Donovan, Western freshman in the 200 yd. backstroke. Donovan set a new personal record as he covered the course in 2:29.5. TRACK Several Western trackmen will get ajump on the 1961 season tomorrow as they compete in the first Pacific Northwest Indoor All-ComersTrack Meet in Seattle. Wearing Vik spangles tomorrow will be Don Trethewey, distance runner; DavePage, middle distance man; Jerry Joyce, sprinter; Dale Warr, ALL BALLED UP by Roger L. Myers After the last couple weekends, I wonder how Pacific Lutheran's "Mr. Basketball" feels about his early seasonprediction? Late in November, the confident coach of the Lutes blithely predicted his Lutes would "win the conference crown." At last report they were mired dead last in the six team scramble. From where I satthe former invincibles looked like a defeated team from the start. The Knights also abandoned their "high-low post" offense for the first time in years and tried to work with a "no-post offense." That looks like ateam grasping at straws and not a championship ballclub, Mr. Lundgaard. Results are now complete from the Collegian "Rate the Teams" contest. It is almost certain that no one will get them all right. PLU'scollapse will certainly knock several prognosticators down, since no one picked them lower thansecond. Another surprise as far as the contest selectors were concerned is Whitworth. Poll results hadrelegated them to fifth place but at present they are sailing along in a tie for first. On an individual basis,PLU received the most votes for first, and also the most votes for second. Western and UPS tied for thesecond highest number of second place votes, with Western also receiving the highest number of thirdplace votes. Eastern and UPS tied for fourth, Central had the most votes for fifth, and Whitworth andCentral tied for last. On point totals, PLU was selected for the top spot, Western second, UPS third,Eastern fourth, Whitworth fifth and Central sixth. Looks like a real scramble for those seven prizes. Thisweekend could be a real profitable one for the Western student with the time and energy to take in all thesporting events in which the college is competing. Tonight and tomorrow are the basketball games with Whitworth and Eastern. The Viking swimmers also have a pair of home meets, meeting the University ofAlberta today at 3 p.m. and taking on Eastern's Savages tomorrow at 2 p.m. Tomorrow afternoon theRugby team has a home game against the Vancouver CYO which begins at 2:30 p.m. at Shuksanplayfield. In addition to this, several trackmen are journeying to Seattle to compete in the allcomers indoor track meet. Not too bad a bargain for $.38 per! .SHORT SPORTS: Western's tenacious defense hasallowed opponents only 58.5 points per game, which ranks them 8th in the nation in that category ...Terry Nixon also is rated nationally for his free throw shooting; currently he is 12th, Walt Hartman,Eastern guard, is even better â€” he's 3rd . . . Nickname: Pete Napper, rugby star, is called "Pyube." . . .Baseball is sneaking up on the sports scene with several aspiring baseballers working out on their own . . . Speaking of baseball, Frank Padlo hit .530 in the Lummi Island League last summer . . . If you can'tplay the sport, you can be one. 440 man; and John Hopkins, medical man. The meet will be the firstindoor meet for the Viks and should provide them with strong competition as some of the Northwest'sranking stars, including a few Olympians, are expected. SKIING Ski team in future? . Western's hopesof a ski team began to take form last week as interested skiiers were asked to contact Jim Carroll or Bill Lefever, vice-president and president of the Ski Club. Feb. 4 or 11 has been set as the date forthe group's first competitive outing. At that time the Viking skiiers will engage Everett JuniorCollege and Skagit Valley Junior College in a triangular ski meet. At the present time all positions areopen and the Ski Club is interested in hearing from all interested persons. SCOREBOARDEVERGREJEN CONFERENCE W L Pet.

A $3 increase in studentactivities fees, a proposed $5 increase to student health service fees and a new student building fee of $10 could be added to student's bills next year. That's an additional $54 for the academic year. The$10 fee, recently approved by the Associated Students Board, will pay for renovations of the VikingUnion. This is the first time a building fee has been imposed on Western students. At a meeting of theUniversity Services Council May 3, AS Board member DeeAn Nakagawa, said the renovations willcombine the Viking Addition and the Viking Union to create more meeting rooms, put student boardoffices in more accessible locations and provide a central meeting place with a friendly atmosphere .for students. Vice President for Residence Life Tammy Daws expressed concern that students were notasked if they were willing to pay for the improvements. She said there should have been a referendum on the issue to make sure students were in favor of the building fee. Daws feared this fee is like "taxationwithout representation." Nakagawa said all discussions on the issue were open to the public, and theidea was discussed with the Interhall Council. Vice President of Student Affairs Saundra Taylor saidrenovating the VU has been an issue for the past five years, when plans for the construction were firstdrawn. Taylor said there was a referendum on the issue five years ago that passed with overwhelmingsupport. The current plans are no w out of date because of del ays. Taylor said if students did not pay for the renovations it would probably be about ten years before a student building would have priority to be constructed. State funds do notpay for non-academic student-use buildings. t Nakagawa said theAS Board decided the new $10 fee was to be added to students bills for a time period not to exceed 20years. The $5 increase to student health service fees will provide a wellness programming consultant,fund wellness programs on campus and support the Substance Abuse Center, said Nathan Church,director of Counseling/Health Services. The increase might also make it possible to See FEES, page4 Injuries, illness weaken Viks sports, page 11 ---------- Western Front - 1991 May 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS May 14,1991 Cops Box Bellingham Police May 5 A woman reported thatsoi|Â»||ii had thrown a beer bottle at heffffi and broke the back window, causing % damage to the window and the bfdy of her van that was parked on the 1000 block of 1 2 t h | | | i | | | ^ n i | p | is estimated at$600^ No suspects at this time. jIlllllllHlllllllllI A w o m J | ^ | M ^ ^ S | ^ ^ ^ ^ where a^^^^^^^^^^^^, hervei^^Â§^$emaii^^S^0leÂ§: drive:^;||||||||^d R i v e r | i | p | i i i i| man aisc||pffi^^her r t t f c p | i || jewelry. w ^ | i i | t t y h ^ p i | | i w | | she' drove aw^M^ff^WmBMM A woman went^u^jbD^elfxarT parked on the100Â§|Â§cji of York Street, and found a n$ar|passed out in the passenger s e l l The man was drunk and saidhehllkJsthis friends and didn'tknowwlleietogo.Hegot in the unlocked car to stay warm.

The Hubless Wheel, a Reading Series of Minority and EthnicWriters, implies movement, progress and evolution of idea, according to Omar Castaneda, of theEnglish department. The H u b l e s s Wheel cel- ^ ^ ^ ebrates the Alan LaU Â»niÂ«y o fdiversity. The Hubless Wheel Series began this year as a collaborative effort between the Northwest Indian College and Western's Departmentof English. The series, funded by Western's Arts andSciences Diversity Fund, begins at 7 p.m., May 14 in Lecture Hall 2 as part of its second event this year and features three Asian-American writers, Shawn Wong, Alan Chong Lau and Sharon Hashimoto, for apoetry reading celebrating Asian American poets. Shawn Wong, an associate professor of American ethnic studies at the University of Washington, is a Chinese Americannovelist, critic and the author of"Homebase," a novel praised by the Los Angeles Times as being "Misty, poetic and often sensual."Homebase" is an evocative portrait of a young man caught between two cultures." "Homebase" wonboth the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award and the 15th Annual Governor's Writers Day Award ofWashington. Wong has published poetry, essays and reviews in periodicals and anthologies. He wasalso awarded a National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Creative Writing Fellowship in 1981. Alan Chong Lau, also a Chinese American novelist and poet, will be reading poems from his book "Songs forJadina." "Songs for Jadina" "...is very much a book of places, and of lives tied to those places, lives oftransplanted Asians yearning back toward the homeland while they strive to make their way in NorthAmerica," wrote author James D. Houston. Lau was also awarded an NEA Fellowship, the King CountyArts Commission Award and a 1981 American Book Award. Sharon Hashimoto, an up-and-comingJapanese-American poet and writer whose works have appeared in numerous literary magazines andanthologies, was also a recipient of a NEA fellowship for her poetry. Hashimoto was awardedanlndividual Artist Fellowship from the King County Arts Commission for short fiction and a PacificNorthwest Writers Conference Award. Castaneda, a Guatemalan American and an ethnic writer,began organizing the Hubless Wheel Series partly because of his own personal interests. "Ethnicwriters are off center in the main stream culture," Castaneda said. "Our goal is to expand culturaldiversity and awareness. "We view a series which honors only r e n o w n e d writers as one which isnot true to the celebration of cultural and literary diversity within our country. In some ways, thesewriters are the most exciting because they bring elements of the unknown and, thus, of promise,"according to a newsletter Castaneda wrote concerning The Hubless Wheel Series' goals. "We wantthis to be a community event that involves students," Castaneda wrote. Shawn Wong Memorialservice given for Western graduate student By Lori Corso staff reporter A memorial service was heldMonday for John Niven, a Western graduate student working on a second master's degree in schoolcounseling. Niven,38, died suddenly last Wednesday at his home in Bellingham. Niven received amaster's degree in education from Western in 1982 and returned in 1989 to work on his second degree. He was working as an intern at Vista Middle School in Femdale and as an intervention specialist atParkview Elementary School. "John was a person the students felt comfortable going to see," saidDiane Slagel, a counselor at Vista Middle School and Niven's supervisor. "The staff and students had awarm regard for him. He would have made an excellent counselor in the school setting," she said. "He was only 24 days shy of completing his internship," Slagle added. Arleen Lewis, Western's director ofthe school counseling curriculum said, "John was a wonderful, wonderful person." "We felt very fortunatehe was in ourprogram because he was so gifted in his work with children and because he offered somuch to everyone else here," Lewis said. Niven, born Dec. 21, 1953 in Chicago, 111., lived inBellingham for 19 years. Niven was a member of the American Counseling and DevelopmentAssociation and the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship. His hobbies included spending time with children,running, hiking and skiing. He is survived by his wife, Terri Collins Niven, of Bellingham, two daughters,Elizabeth Collins Niven and Lauren Collins Niven, both of the family home; his stepmother, Elaine Nivenof Seattle, a stepbrother, DavidNiven of Seattle; and a sister, Susan Niven of Perth, Australia- Memorialsmay be made to the Coalition for Child Advocacy, 314 E.

Bachelorgraduates in business, electrical engineering and computer science received jobs with the highest paylast year, with salaries ranging from $25,000 to $35,000 a year, according to the survey. The lowestpaying jobs went to bachelor gradu- Recession may affect graduates By Robert Johnson staff reporter In spite of the doom and gloom about the recession, Western officials are optimistic for graduates' success in searching for their first job this summer. Louis Lallas, director of the Career Planning andPlacement Center, said the Pacific Northwest economy is strong relative to the rest of the nation.Sincemany Western graduates stay in this region for their first job, they shouldn'thave ahard time findingwork, he said. A recent NBC News report, by Irving R. Levine, said 1 million college graduates will belooking for jobs in an economy that has lost 1.5 million jobs over the past 12 months. Lallas wondered ifLevine was referring to the college graduate job market or the overall job market â€” however, thatwasn't specified in Levine's report. "This year's graduates should expect the job market to be a bittighter than last year," Lallas said, despite his optimism. Some of Western's department chairs shareLallas' optimism. Technology Department Director David Harris said the market is strong for collegegraduates in the engineering field in spite of the recession. "Some engineering students graduatingthis June have up to lOjob offers each already," Harris said. "Some of the offers pay up to $30,000 ayear." You have to remember the job market is constantly fluctuating," Harris said. "Each recession issupposedly worse than the previous one, and each recovery is supposedly better than the previousone." Paul Ford, associate dean for Western's Woodring College of Education, said the future looksgood for teachers and school administrators in Washington state. "Besides the growing market forteachers in this state, many of teachers are near retirement age in Washington," Ford said. "This will create a large turnover rate within the next few years." Ford said the only problem for educationgraduates is they want to stay in Whatcom County. "We have a good chance to have a glut of teachersin Whatcom County if too many of our graduates stay here," Ford said. "The real markets for teachersand administrators are in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties." Not all of the department chairsexpressed optimism for this year's graduates, however. Bruce Wonder, management departmentchair, predicted this year's jobmarketfor business graduates will be softer than last year. "I anticipatethere will be fewer offers from businesses this year (because of the recession)," Wonder said. "Butthen, I read what everyone else reads, so I'm not an expert on the subject "Every six to eight years wehave a rough period in our economy, and we're having one now," he said. Western's College of Business and Economics (CBE) was accredited last year, and Wonder said that may help. "Some companiesâ€” I don't know which exact ones â€” require a diploma from an accredited school before hiringsomeone directly from college," Wonder said. Carl Simpson, sociology department chair and directorof the Office of Survey Research, said it's hard to keep up to date with the job market, let alone correctly predict its future. "All we can say for sure is that the job market will grow in a prosperous period and will shrink in a recession," he said. Simpson published a survey about placement of 1982 Westerngraduates five years later in 1988 and is now compiling a similar survey about 1985 graduates. Simpsonsaid today's students will have to be flexible when they enter the job market. His 1988 survey says 33percent of those polled weren' t working in a job related to their college major. Heidi Marostica andSusan Reynolds, graduating withbachelor' s in June and July, don't plan to search for a job until afterthey graduate. "I'll go home to Tacoma and spend the summer getting back on my financial feet beforelooking for a job," said Marostica, a political science major. Reynolds, a history major with minors inGerman and music, admits it will be hard to find a job related to her major. "I'll probably end up workingin a big corporation or the government," Reynolds said. "But my best possible options now appear to beeither a bag lady or a welfare mother."

Thesalary average for bachelor's was $23,003 a year. For master's the salary average was $31,817 a year. Beginning teachers in Washington state earn $20,001 a year. The survey didn't ask studentshow long it took to earn their first job after graduating, butMarty Wine, who graduated from WesternlastJune with a bachelor's in political science, said she got her first job within seven weeks. Wine is alegislative aide for State Rep. Gary Locke (D-Seattle). "I applied for another job with the state ofWashington two weeks after I graduated, but I didn't get it," Wine said. "I had met Locke at Westernduring a studentfunction, so when I asked him about job opportunities in state government, he hired me.". Bob Dyer, who graduated with a bachelor of science in 1988, said contacts within Western helped him get his current job at Allsop, aplastics manufacturer on Guide Meridian in . Bellingham. "I accepted myfirst job (at Paramount Plastics â€” an aerospace firm) in Bellevue as a starting point," Dyer said. "But I kept in touch with my professors at Western and they told me about thejoblnowhaveat Allsop." Dyer is a manager in the plastics tool room. Dyer said he got his job in Bellevue three weeks after graduating.Both Wine and Dyer said they didn't search for a job until after graduation. Eighty-nine percent of thestudents said their job is in Washington state. Boeing hired 40 of last year's graduates, the surveysays. Washington state hired 17 and Microsoft hired 12. Paul Ford, associate dean of Western'sWoodring College of Education, is pleased with the placement status of last year's recipients ofteacher certificates: 93 percent have a job â€” 85 percent in a field related to their majorâ€”and 2 percentcontinuing their education. "You can't beat those statistics," Ford said. Ford said the job markets forteachers and school administrators have been very strong recently in King, Pierce, Whatcom andSnohomish Counties and he expects no changes this year. But Ford warns a glut of teachers inWhatcom county is possible in the next few years. Another strong field shown in the survey is theelectronic engineering field, with an 84 percent placement Salary Averages standing â€” 79 percent in arelated field â€” for bachelor's holders. David Harris, technology department director, said the jobmarket for technology students will be just as strong this year. According to the survey, the twoweakest fields of study to find related work was bachelors in English and anthropology, with 12 percentand 7 percent, respectively. English Department Undergraduate Adviser George Muldrow played down the statistic by saying the meaning of "field related" is relative. "Skills in Englishâ€”an ability to workwith people and to analyze a situation â€” can be used for many jobs," Muldrow said. "One graduatefrom last June is a Social Security representative. He works with people and analyzes application forms.But would you say that job is "field related" to ah English degree?" The survey was conducted byMarilyn Peterson, CPPC program/ office manager. The surveyâ€”which was split into two categories,earners of a bachelor's or a teaching certificate and earners of a master'sâ€” was sent to those whograduated from Western during the 1989-90 school year. Sixty-eight percent under the bachelor'scategory responded as did 75 percent of the master's. ONY'5 W 500 OFF ESPRESSO DRINK VALIDAT OUR CARTS AT M.B.

Group steers toward campus parking solution By Jonathan Burton.staff reporter The stress of parking on campus has driven some Western students to organize aninformal group that will attempt to improve the parking situation on campus. "There are not enoughspaces for the number of cars," Mark Reger said. "We need to either reduce the number of cars orincrease the number of spots." Because of environmental benefits the group would prefer to see areduction in the amount of cars on campus, Reger said. "We definitely see the need to reduce thenumber of cars through car pooling and bike riding," Reger said. A possible increase in the enrollment lid and the loss of 115 parking spaces due to the building of a new science building will add to theproblem, Reger said. "There already is a problem and it's going to get worse, and there .aren't plansto fix it," Reger said. Parking manager Ann Wallace agrees with the group about the need to reduce thenumber of drivers parking on campus. The number of cars in the state of Washington has doubled inthe last 20 years. "It is not possible to accommodate all of the cars," Wallace said. Wallace said 90percent of the cars driven in Washington are occu- Editor's Job Opening Western Front SummerQuarter 1991 Opening: Western Front Editor, pay estimated at $550 per quarter.

Among students that drive to school, 68 percent drive alone and 81 percent of the faculty drive alone. "Wewould like to encourage students to carpool and use the transit system," Wallace said. Solutionsproposed in the past include a multilevel parking structure. "A parking structure would really changethe appearance of campus," Wallace said. Another downfall of such a structure is the costâ€”aparking structure would cost approximately $14,000 per space, Wallace said. Restructuring of drivingand parking habits is a more plausible solution, he said. The Whatcom County Council of Governmentsis sponsoring an Alternative Transportation Day onMay 16. Marlene Farnum, transportationdepartment manager, said the event will attempt to encourage people to think about their driving habits.Transit will be free on Alternative Transportation Day. Free coffee and donuts will be served at theBellingham bus terminal and a bike-ride- around town will be sponsored. FEES, continued from page 1staff a drop-in clinic from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. It has also been proposed that the StudentHealth Center be allowed to raise its fees in the future on an index system, without seeking boardapproval, to maintain services despite inflation. The University Services Council discussed letting thefees increase on an inflationary index every two years. The council is also considering putting a limiton the amount the fee can increase. Church suggested a ceiling of 10 percent of the base fee, which will raise to $30 next year if the $5 increase is approved. The council is considering limiting the index atbetween 4 and 7 percent of the base fee, which would compound with each increase. With increasesfor inflation and if a base fee is set at $30 a quarter, students could expect health service fees to be setat $32 by 1993. University of Washington students currently pay $30.50, and Washington S tateUniversity students pay $34.33 per quarter for their health services. A public hearing May 7 letstudents voice their opinions on the issue and get information on what the additional health feewould provide. A decision has already been made to increase student activity fees by S3 per quarter.Student activity fees are split between the AS, housing and dining and departmentally-related activities,such as student publications and theater. Students were given a chance to voice their opinions at apublic hearing on this issue April 25, although few students attended. In a previous Front article, Taylor said, "I like to think (the low attendance) is not because students don't care."

By Claudia Reed staff reporter A Lummi creation story says: In the beginning, the People of the Salmon were trapped behind the wall in the darkness of the Spirit World.When the wall lifted, they sailed forward in their canoes into the Land of the Living. Once there, thecanoes turned into the salmon that would sustain them and remain central to their way of life. ClaudiaReed/The Western Front up a bucket of Chinook salmon for The tribal salmon hatcheries operated bythe Lummi Indians andother Peopleof the Salmon on theNorthwest Coast, are more than successfulbusiness ventures. Few other businesses have been established with the help of sit-in demonstrations, jail sentences, Supreme Court decisions, and loss of life. For thousands of years, a plentiful supply ofsalmon enabled the Lummi and other tribes to maintain prosperous societies on the Northwest Coast.The westward expansion of the United States, backed up by the U.S. Army, put an end to prosperoustimes for tribal people. With the Treaty of Point Elliot in 1855, tribes gave up most of what later becamethe state of Washington inreturn fornothing more than peace and the right to fish on traditional fishinggrounds. In the decades that followed, the settlers and the government of Washington ignored the treaty; considering it out of date or indicative of special treatment for a minority. "What many (people) do notget to hear is that the treaty right is a property right. If non-Indian people can own property andresources in this state today because of grants made to the non-Indian government in the treaties,shouldn'titfollow that treaty Indians have the same right?" said Billy Frank, chairman of the NorthwestIndian Fisheries Commission. "Those non-Indians who hold such property have the right to pass it on totheir descendants. Shouldn't Indians have the same right?" Frank said. "The Indians who signed thetreaties did it to protect the fishing right for future generations. The treaties said the right would continueto exist as long as the rivers run." When the peace treaties were broken, the tribal people of theNorthwest Coast went back to war, not with guns, but with lawyers. Fish-ins led to arrests and arrestsled to cases that could be tried in court in order to establish the necessary rulings.

According to his family, activist leaderDavid Sohappy, Sr. spent so much time in jail in defense of the rightto fish thathis health was broken.Prison conditions, they said, led directly to the elderly man's recent fatal heart attack. Court decisions in 1905,1908,1943 andl967 affirmed the tribal right of access to traditional fishing areas across non-Indian property. Thecourt decisions also provided for sufficient water to maintain fisheries, the right toself-regulation of tribal fishing (except when the state mandates conservation measures), and the right to insure that a state may not reserve all of aparticular type of fish for sport fishing. j A1969 decisionaffirmed the tribes were entitled to a "fair share of the fish runs." In the 1970s, the Lummi and othertribal people began a program of. aquaculture, including hatcheries designed to enhance the supply ofsalmon. At the right level of maturity, thehome-grownsalmonwerereleased into common waterways. Inorder to manage the hatcheries effectively, the â€¢ tribe created a training program which eventuallyevolved into theNorthwest Indian College, a fully accredited two-year community college. Most of theharvested fish, however, went to non-Indian commercial fishermen. "It was like a gold rush," saidLummi Fisheries Director Merle Jefferson. "(Non-Indian)people heard there was a lot of money to be made in salmon." Jefferson said the Lummi caught only five percent of the area's salmon. As a result, manyLummi, to whom the salmon were central to the maintenance of life and lifestyle, were forced to leavehomes, family and community in search of non-traditional employment. Then in 1974, the U.S.Supreme Court's landmarkBolt Decision held that tribal people were entided to one half of all the salmonen route to traditional fishing grounds, and recognized the tribes as co-managers of the fisheriesresource in the Pacific Northwest The inter-tribal Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, whichemploys many non-tribal technical assistants, was established to coordinate â€¢ fisheriesmanagement. Federal grants permitted the enhancement and expansion of tribal hatcheries. S incethe Bolt decision, the supply of salmon has doubled, Jefferson said. Another six years of legislativebattles were required to clarify and enforce the Bolt decision. Between 1977 and 1985, federal courtssettled at least 100 specific right-to-fish disputes. Between 1979 and 1982, several tribes sued theU.S. Secretary of Commerce for permitting a dispro-portionatepercentage ofhomecoming treaty fish to be caught in the open ocean by non-tribal fishing industries. In 1980, a federal court affirmed tribal rights toinsure environmental protection of areas related to the development and migration of treaty salmon.This ruling, according to a Lummi publication, convinced industry leaders of the need to negotiate SeeSALMON, page 8 P Planned Parenthood â€¢ Birth Control Exams and Supplies â€¢ Pregnancy Testsand Referrals â€¢ Infection Tests and Treatments AFFORDABLE - CONFIDENTIAL Prompt ServiceEvening Hours Downtown Bellingham 734-9095 "WESTERN'S PHOTO CENTER!"

Li one tank, thousands of three-inch salmon are swimmingabout freely. In the other, salmonmove slowly, recovering from anaesthetic. Tagging day began at one ofthe three aquaculture facilities on the Lummi reservation, the start of a cooperative effort in fisheriesmanagement that will involve four states and two countries. Inside the tagging laboratory, which isowned by the inter-tribal Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC), a net full of wigglingsalmon is lowered into two adjacent pans on a waist-high table. There are four such rows of tablesattended by 16 hatchery workers under the supervision Greg Volkhardt, a fish biologist employed by the NWIFC. The workers lift the fish out a few at a time and tag them by cutting off the adipose fin andinserting a microscopic coded wire tag into the snout. In a few months, monitors from California,Alaska, Oregon and Canada willremove fish from the returning catch on fishing boats, remove the fishwith the missing fin, and read the tag. The monitors are then able to calculate the impact that eachtribal or non-tribal hatchery is having on salmon while learning more about salmon migration. Tribalfisheries and government agencies involved in the regulation of fishing will predicthowmany salmon arelikely to complete the migration cycle and place limits on the catch based on their findings. The Salmonbeing monitored, Fall Chinooks, were hatched from fertilized eggs incubated at hatcheries on theNooksack reservation near Deming, and brought to a holding pond on the Lummi reservation. The pond,holding approximately 4.2 million salmon, measures 50 by 400 feet and is completely covered with anet. Lummi hatcheries manager George Lane explained that the net was added to keep visiting heronsfrom eating the fish. "We don't like to shoot them (the herons)," he said. Water for the pond is pumped in fromanearby inlet. In the mid-1980s, enhancement grants from the federal fisheries enabled the Lummihatcheries to purchase a more efficient generator system for the pump. Lane said the inlet is known as Quina Slew to the Lummi because the Quina family has been fishing there for generations and theslew runs through their part of the territory. The non-tribal dyking jurisdiction has renamed the inletRainbow Slew. Whatever the name, the small dam has not disturbed the life of the slew. It still flowsswiftly, threatening to fill the boots of two men who stand in the middle fishing for trout. Lane stops toask them if they've had any luck. Backatthepbnd, the young salmon swim leisurely. After a two-monthstay, the gates between the pond and the slew will be opened and if the salmon are ready, they will swim out into the slew which will carry them to the salt water of Bellingham Bay. "If they're not ready to go,they'll turn right around and come back," Lane said. "You can tell when they're ready because they startreally going around." He gestured to indicate the tight, rapid circle they would make. Then he cuppedtwo hands together to show the size they would be when they left, his face reflecting the pleasure he felt about their anticipated silvery color. Meanwhile, in the building decorated with the painted eagle, chum salmon recently hatched from disin-, fected fertilized eggs, are just beginning their life cycle in rows of incubators that resemble shallow file drawers. Lane said the salmon are still receiving nourishment from a surrounding yoke sac. When they reach the "button up" stage in which the sac is gone andthe body tightens up, they will be transferred to a holding tank and fed. "We watch real close todetermine just when to feed them," Lane said. A too-early or a too-late transfer could be disastrous, heexplained. Later on they will be tagged and released. Coho salmon at the last of the three Lummihatcheries will undergo a similar process. Lane said more than one million salmon will be releasedfrom the Lummi hatcheries this year and 200,000 of them will be Our student loan is first in its class.With a Pacific First student loan you can get your degree first, and start repaying your loan later.

MostAmericans cannot understand the frustration an Hispanic, migrant farm worker encounters when trying to communicate in an English-speaking society. Lack of effective communication results inisolation. The area'sprimary liaison between Spanish-speaking people and government bureaucraciesis the Whatcom Hispanic Organization (WHO). WHO is a non-political, grass roots group whichprimarily addresses the educational concerns of the area's migrant farm workers. The literacy problemsof farm workers canresultin an isolation from bank tellers, librarians, and social service organizations.The end result is a high incidence of domestic problems in'the migrant farm worker population, said Dr. Silverio Arenas, a clinical psychologist at Bellingham's Sea Mar Community Health Clinic.

"Because they (social services) are so bureaucratic, a lot of farm workers don't know how todeal with them and just go without" Because many farm workers are establishing permanent residencesin the area and most are low income, they qualify for several types of educational assistance. WHOhelps farm workers access those programs. "There are a lot of things people don't know that they areentitled to know," Ernie Diez, WHO president, said. WHO has been effective in bringing educationalopportunities to farm workers because it maintains a non-political stance in the community. The purpose of WHO is to educate people. Becoming political tends to polarize people into groups, Diez said.'Taking a political stance is like being a fly in the ointment," he said. This would be counter-productive toWHO's mission of providing educational services to the community. "You make more friends buildingbridges than building walls," he said. Presently, WHO is working with the county library system in thepurchasing of Spanish language material. Very few library books exist for the area's Spanish-speaking population. WHO would very likely act as an advisory council in the purchase of the new materials. The "materials and services the library does offer often go unused because farm workers are hesitant tobecome involved in the system, said Teri Bachus, an educator with the Whatcom Literacy Council."They don't know the libraries are accessible to them or they are hesitant to go through the system to get library cards,"Bachus said. "Sometimes they fear damaging the books because they might have to payfor them. When they do try, they usually can't find materials they can identify with." Bachus said WHOis currently trying to initiate a book-mobile route that would serve the area's migrant farm camps! WHOis also serving as a consultant to the establishment of tutorial programs for Whatcom county's Spanish-speaking people. WHO is working extensively with the Whatcom Literacy Council, which is a UnitedWay agency. Theeducationof children will have the greatest impact on the' future of farm workers. WHOhas established its ownscholarshipprogram, andover the past two years has given out 15 scholarships of $300 each, Diez said. Money for the scholarships has come from donations by community members.WHO's goal is to become more sophisticated in its fundraising so it can solicit funds from largercompanies and in turn provide larger scholarships, Diez said. In addition to the scholarship program,WHO is working on an early outreach program. This program would involve bringing the children ofmigrant farm workers to Western so they can envision themselves in college, Villarroel said. "A lot ofthem have no idea about the college concept, they don't see a relevance to their lives," she said. WHOwould also like to establish a Spanish television channel in Bellingham and more Spanishprograming on Western's KUGS radio station. The presence of a Spanish language media in thearea would greatly alleviate the problems of isolation, Bachus said. , "We have to utilize the tactics ofthe media," Villarroel said.

Tyler Anderson/The Western Front "There's nothing more exhilaratingthanbeing shot at without result," Winston Churchill said in his memoirs, referring to his service in theBoer War. Churchill may have really been on to something. It would certainly explain the fast-growingpopularity of paintball, a sport which came into existence in the last 10 years and already has anenormous following. The concept behind an organized paintball game is simple. Players armed withpaintball guns try to reach their opponent's base, while doing their best to avoid being hit by opposingfire. If they get hit, they 're out for that round. "The game is basically a variation of capture the flag, butinstead of touching the opponent, you blast them," said TJ. Martin, co-owner and operator of PacificRimPaintball. The paintball itself is a water-soluable, cornstarch-based "goo" surrounded by a gelatinshell that usually bursts uponimpact. Paintballs will decompose completely, so they are environmentally safe, Martin said. Amarkfrom apaintball anywhere on the body or gun ends the round for the person hit.The paint marks will wash out, so clothing is not stained, Martin said. Paintballs are fired fromcompressed air guns ranging from carbon dioxide pistols to semi-automatic machine guns. "It's afast-paced game of flanking and advance. ...firing off shots while paint balls are whizzing by your head. ...You really can't understand what it's like until you play," Martin said.

"Camouflage is aminorpartof the game,bluffing and strategy are more important," sophomore Brady Stillwell said. Bluffing is especiallyimportant when you're out of ammunition. People will often surrender when they think they are to be hitat close range, Stillwell said. Luck also plays an important part in a paintball game. "One time when Iwas running back with a flag, a guy popped up about 10 feet away, but his gun jammed,"junior John St.Laurent said. A more common example of luck is a paintball bouncing off a person instead of rupturing,freshman Justin Zipp said. "The thing that keeps me coming back is the adrenaline rush," freshmanJason Ghazimorad said. "It can get really hairy when paintballs are whizzing from both sides and youhave no idea where your assailants are. Besides the thrill, paintball has practical applications as well."Themilitary andS.W.A.T. teams are starting to use it for training because it is very realistic," Martinsaid. "Police especially like it because paintball guns have about the same range as hand guns."Despite the seemingly military flavor of the game, paintball doesn't turn you into a war monger because it makes you realize just how easy it would be to get killed, Martin said. "We don't encourage themilitaristic aspects," Martin said. "Most people just play for fun and it's becoming more and moresport-like. "We wear army fatigues because you can hide in them and they're durable." "There are noRambo-types in paintball," Ghazimorad said. "Anyone that tries to be (Rambo) either changes theirtactics or quits playing." "Someone dumb enough to stand out in the open, firing wildly, is going to gethit," Zipp said. Paint ball seems to have a very wide appeal. "A lot of people have expressed interest,even a few girls," Ghazimorad said. "For first-time players, girls are usually better,"Martinsaid. "They gostraight on instinct instead of being macho." When asked if being hit by a paintball hurt, the consensusseemed to be that itstings within 15 feet, but not further away than that. "Paintball is one of the safest ofall sports if you wear the proper protection," Stillwell said, referring to goggles and face masks that aremandatory in organized games. "Youmay get bumps andbruises running through the underbrush. I'm not saying you won't," Ghazimorad said. "But nothing that will put you in the hospital," St. Laurent added.Starting to play paintball is relatively easy.

To avoid the long lines and hours of waiting to sign up foran intramural aerobics class, sign-ups for next year will be divided into two days, with Monday andWednesday classes signing up one day, and Tuesday and Thursday classes another day. "We've triedseveral different methods with different sign-up times, maybe the two separate days to sign up will helpshorten the lines," said Marie Sather, associate director of student affairs/intramurals. An aerobic centerwill also be . opening next fall to help accommodate everyone who wants to take aerobic classes. The gymnastic room at Sam Carver Gym, where aerobic classes are currently located, will become afitness center for athletic workout equipment and the varsity weight room above the track entrance will be converted into the aerobic center with mats and mirrors. "The floor will be resurfaced with a materialused in several other facilities, designed for aerobic and multi-use activities," said Lynda Goodrich,director of athletes. Goodrich said the center would also be used for physical education aerobicclasses and possibly judo and karate classes. Another option for those interested in aerobics is theintramural water aerobics class. Water aerobics has been a program through intramurals for two years.The increasing popularity of water aerobics will hopefully add more classes to next year's schedule,Sather said. "Water aerobics is a great form of exercise. It's one of the safest and best ways for peopleto exercise, because you're developing muscle against the resistance of the water," Sather said. Theintramural water aerobics class meets at 9 a.m. three days a week in Carver pool. The class gets aworkout similar to regular aerobics, but in the water with a few variations, explained Kelly Coulter, general business administration major and water aerobics instructor. Coulter said the class goes through astandard routine, with a five minute warm-up and stretch, 25 Stephanie Bell, aerobics instructor, leadsWestern students through low and high impact workouts. minutes of aerobic workout to raise the heartrate, and a five minute cool down. "Wedo alotof the same things as regular aerobics, butit's a verydifferent feeling in the water. We can do a lot more jumping because the exercise in the water isvery good for the joints. I also incorporate kickboards and moving around the pool into my routines,"Coulter said. Coulter plans to become water-safety certified this summer, but said right now a lifeguardis always on duty during class in case of an emergency. "The only qualifications you need for wateraerobics is the desire to work hard and be willing to try something a little bit new," Coulter said. "Ithelps to be in pretty good shape when you take the class, but most people take it to get stronger and get a good workout. It's a very safe exercise, not so hard on the joints and it's a lot of fun."HWWWHWWIW^^ PPPHRT * The men's club baseball team won both games in a doubleheader atCoquiflam, British Columbia, April 11.

STATE ST. ---------- Western Front - 1991 May 14 - Page 11 ---------- May 14,1991 SPORTS The Western Front 11 Track and field disappointed with district performance ByArt Hughes staff reporter When Lisa Waltenburg crossed the finish line of the women's 5,000- meter run at the NAIA District 1 Track and Field Championships on Saturday, she had what she came for.Waltenburg ran away with both the district meet record and Western's own record in the 5,000. "I camehere trying to break the school record and in the process I thoughtlcouldbreakthemeetrecord,"Waltenburg said. "I've been training hard." Waltenburg was one of a few standouts in an otherwisedisappointing day for both the men's and women's teams at districts. The men finished third and thewomen finished last, with injuries and illness hampering both teams. CoachKelven"PeeWee"HalseU,who mentioned before the meet that he thought the men might be able to come out on top, was still ableto remain upbeat about the final results. "I feel like everybody came in and did their best and that's all Iever ask," Halsell said. "We had people injured and sick â€” they did everything they could do."Waltenburg started out her best showing all season in the 5,000, holding conservatively on the heels of Heather Lucas of Pacific Lutheran University, the defending champion in the event. Waltenburg held the second spot until it became clear that Lucas was not running on a record pace. Waltenburg pulledahead and stretched her lead even more. Her only competition for the final six laps was the time-clock.The crowd at the PLU track in Tacoma was on its feet for Waltenburg's final lap. Shouts of "Go Lisa!"from the crowd changed to cheers as she crossed the finish line with a time of I7minutes,6.1secondsâ€”more than ten seconds ahead of the meet record set in 1988. Waltenburg's first placeshowing in the 5,000 was her second collegiate win. Her first win came in the 1,500attheShotwellClassicmeet at the University of Puget Sound on April 20. Waltenburg's run Saturdayfollowed a second place showing the night before in the 3,000. She came in with a time of 9:39.5,almost 18 seconds ahead of her personal best in that event. The season does not end yet forWaltenburg. Her performance at districts only adds to the momentum of a strong season for themiddle-distance runner as she heads to nationals in June. Besides qualifying in the 3,000 and the5,000, Waltenburg also hit the national mark for the 1,500 earlier in the season. Dennis James was theonly other first place finisher for the Vikings. James threw the hammer 181 feet, two inches after leadingin the event for the day. His throw was enough to win the event by almost 19 feet, but could have gonefarther had it not hit a tree in the middle of the field at the 175 footmark. "The tree kind of got in the way," James said. "It cut about five feet off my throw." James said he thought it was a good meet for himotherwise, and said he was hoping to keep his throws in the mid-80s. He will be going to nationals inJune, with apersonal best of 187-2. Golf team places second in district championships By Scott M.Ayers staff reporter For two months Western's golf coach Dean Russell has been pushing his team toplay perfect golf. The team came close April 9 and 10 at the NAIA District 1 championships â€”missing out on a trip to Omaha, Neb. for the national tournament. The team finished second at theCapital City Golf Course in Olympia, five strokes behind repeating district champions, Simon FraserUniversity, of Burnaby, British Columbia. "We put up a good challenge," said junior RossHirickson,who led the Vikings with a three-round score of 219. "We went in with the attitude that we had nothingto lose since we hadn' t beaten Simon Fraser all year." This attitude contributed to a strong first day forthe Vikings, who held a two-stroke lead after the first 36 holes. "We were pretty excited," saidsophomore Rick Blankenburg, who finished with 237. "We knew we had just one more day to play andwe - treated it like a head-to-head match." Erickson said the team felt thatif they played well in the finalround, they would force SFU to play hard in order to catch them. "We didn't actually play bad in the lastround, but they played better," he said. SFU has won the district tournament both seasons Russell hasbeen coach. Led by Scott Bennett, who claimed his second straight individual district title,theClansmenhaveprovedto be unbeatable almost every week for the past two years. Erickson wasBennett's closest challenger, finishing nine strokes behind him for second place. Senior Dan Harrington,who followed Erickson by one stroke, finished his college golf career with 229. This was the secondconsecutive year Harrington finished behind of Bennett from SFU. During last year's districttournament, Harrington finished second. Despite Erickson's second place finish, he said he could have played better. "In the last round I got tired...it's not easy playing 54 holes in two days." Two balls he hitout-of-bounds on Thursday also cost him valuable strokes; nevertheless, Erickson said he was pleasedwith his second place finish in districts after a slow starting season. "As the season went on, the teamgradually got better. We kept moving up to higher finishes every week," Erickson said. "Individually, myseason was pretty much the same. I didn't really place very high.at first, but I kept improving." Ericksonattributed his continued improvement to the amount of time he put in on the golf course. 'To be good at golf requires a lotofrepetition and a lot of practice, as well as mental preparation." With the rise ofErickson and the return of Blankenburg and fellow sophomore Jeff Bennett, team members are alreadylooking forward to next season. "It's tough losing Dan and Joel (McNeely), but we have a lot ofsophomores who have a few more good years left," Blankenburg said. "If you ask if we are satisfied withfinishing second; well yes, and no..Just tell everyone to watch out for us next year," Erickson said.Western Students We'll Supply Your Needs Monday-Friday 8:00-6:00 Saturday 8:00-4:00 1330N.Forest 734-0430 BE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISE IN THE WESTERN FRONT 676-3161WESTERN FROMT CLASSIFIEDS SELL! 6763161 Ready for a change of scenery?

It was a sticky situation, but for 45 minutesthey handled it like professionals. Douglas did his best to pressure the council into taking some sort ofposition on the issue, rather than handing it off to the Parks and Recreation committee. The councilmembers agreed that leash laws and the monumental Bellingham Pooper Scooper Law are difficult toenforce. Even Bellingham law enforcement officers have better things to do than follow pooches around,waiting for Mother Nature to do her thing. Mayor Douglas says he's plagued by phone calls fromdistraught parents, with horrific stories of their children playing in the park, running, jumping, frolicking,and landing in what he eloquently described as "dog doo" (Rumor has it the real reason Douglas is soupset is he went for a walk in the park and ruined a perfectly good pair of loafers). Councilman TipJohnson preferred to take a more scientific stance, referring to the material in question as "dog waste." He should be commended for his tact, but his proposed solutions are questionable â€” bigger signs,prominently posted. It's a great idea, except most of those damn defecating dogs are illiterate. Ignorantpooches pose a formidable problem for our city planners, but they're determined to get to the bottom ofthis matter. Councilman Mark Asmundson had a more provocative suggestion; city funded dog obedience school. The Front editorial board officially endorses this idea. If we use tax dollars to attach special"shock" collars to our fair city's canine population, and pay a staff of professionals to monitor thesebeasts, we can shock the four-legged deviants every time they perform this heinous act that plagues thepeople of Bellingham. It won't take long to teach these dogs to stop performing this unnatural act Thedogs are easily controlled, but what about all these expulsive people? It's certainly a legitimate concern,but we can't expect our city council to take on the world in one short meeting, now can we?

Mostof the timel accept this devianceas inevitable on a newspaper with 60 different opinions. The May 7 issue was not one of those times.The commentary was written in a shoot-from-the-hip, strong on metaphor, questionable on fact,' T wanna be a radical "style. I was at that City Council meeting too, only I didn't see any political parakeetspreferring copulation to compassion. Or was that headline selected just for the ear-catchingalliteration? What I saw was self government in action. I came home with an admiration for how the citygovernment functioned without splash, controversy and meaningless rhetoric. Yes, the people debated aset agenda. It is pretty near impossible to do anything useful without one. Sixteen residents of VictorStreet spoke publicly about whether or not to pay for a sidewalk. A municipal swimming pool (not abourgeois watering hole) was funded with bonds from, shudder, anticipated city taxes on corporate profits. What I don't understand is the point of last issue's Frontline. You say, or perhaps I should say the Frontsays, "City politicians with the collective brain capacity of a parakeet and the demeanor of ravenousvultures, didn't spend any time discussing the plight of the homeless." Are you saying that City Hall,because it did not react to your telepathically transmitted appeal for help to the homeless, should beinsulted and labeled? I really don't know what you're saying. There are a half-dozen associated imageswhich collectively are supposed to transcend us to your higherplateauofunderstanding. I guess I justcan't join you. I got lost in the words, like: "bickered, anarchy, government perpetuated facade,ravenous, rape, mug, murder, blood-sucking, glory grubbing, egomaniacs, weakknees, fat asses,skinny necks, wandering libidos, slut-ridden opportunism, selfish bastards, silicon breasts and cheappolitical posturing." This is 'peyote bud' journalism at its finest. It's focus is on creative writing, with moreemphasis on word flow, analogy and metaphor selection than on content. While the commentary doesmake for interesting reading, the consequences of the statement is the risk of labeling ourselves asblatant propagandists. Before editorial writers set the guidelines for our future. See Criticism, page 14Publishing rape victims' names: a complicated issue L ast month a woman claimed she was raped atthe Kennedy compound in Palm Beach, Fla. Since then, her name has been broadcast on nationaltelevision and printed in newspapers across the country. My favorite tabloid, The Globe, started it allby publishing her name and photograph. Then NBC Nightly News did a story on the Globe D cgt;|/a story, complete with a zoom- By kNKa -m on ^ photograph. (Many WMIiamS 0f the NBC affiliatesbleeped Staff reporter out her name.) As a result of the NBC story, the solid, respectable, conservativeNew York Times published her name as well, saying protecting her identity was a moot point after thebroadcast The Times also published a controversial "background" story on the woman, including thedetails of her driving record and the titles of some of the books on her child's shelf. The case hassparked a debate that's been raging since the 1970s whenmostof the media decided to stoppublishingthe names of women who claimed they'd been raped. The rationale is the women suffer public humiliationif then-names are revealed. Since then, lawyers have claimed that withholding the woman's name, butprinting the defendant's, is unfair and implies guilt. Others have said withholding names only reinforcesthe stigma society associates with rape â€” that the woman contributed to the crime or deserved it ordidn't try hard enough to stop it. Still, the majority â€” including almost all of our Northwest media â€”subscribe to the theory that women who don' t want their names in the media shouldn' t have to sufferthrough the publicity. The story that ran is the Times is a good example of why. Why should the detailsof her driving record become public information? Did it show the public something so compelling aboutthis individual it had to be included? And how about those book titlesâ€”we needed to know what herchild reads, don't we?

I'm beginning to wonderhow you can win the awards you claim to win, when the behavior of the staff in general is highlyunprofessional... ...Neglect of events such as the International Dinner is abominable. This is an annualevent which brings foods and entertainment from different cultures to Western for an evening. Thefact that there was no advance publicity on the dinner from the Front is beyond belief. I know that therewas publicity because I wrote it and personally delivered an announcement to the Front. There was alsoan announcement left in the Ethnic Student Center for a beat reporter to pick up. I know that there waspublicity. Unfortunately this was not the first time that a cultural event on this campus was ignored bythe Front. Despite the fact that "diversity" has been the big buzzword here for the last two years, theFront appears to have taken the stance that "unless it is controversial, we won'ttouchit." Case in point,Kent Thoelke and the telephone, Scott Olson, the entire A.S. election last year, the recent problemssurrounding the VOC and the brouhaha over the Shawn Bridge/Chad Goller discussions. Too bad Iwasn't able to figure out a way to sensationalize the International Dinner. The Western Front has aresponsibility to this campus which is to inform our community about events, educational and social,that are happening here. The Front was derelict in its reporting of the International Dinner as ithas beenin the past with many events. It is crucial that the students hold the Front accountable, and insist thatwe are given information about cultural events in order that we might decide for ourselves whether or notto attend. Sylvia O'Donnell Letter #2: Dear Western Front: Howmany times doyouneed to be told yourpaper is nothing but a rag before you finally catch on?!? I understand your resolution at the beginning ofthe quarter to be more controversial, but that should not include making up quotes, lying tactics for"interviews," and taking quotes out of context to fit the theme of your article. The cartoons rarelymake sense, the articles are, at best, semi-adequate, and your overall paper is not even sub-standard.By the way, I hope you print this letter, unlike so many others I am aware you have been sent that statehow your paper is beyond reproach. Try to have this minute amount of dignity. I hope this for you, but I know better than to expect you to have any decency. Sylvia O'Donnell Water Time TylerAnderson/The Western Front Ex-Marine questions U.S. ego-stroking Dear Editor: Sometimes, itbecomes obvious that a country can go just a little bit too far in its national ego-stroking. As someAmerican people are patting themselves on the back of the wonderful capabilities of their warmachine, I think it would be prudent to comment on an element of the American war-making abilitywhich needs improvement: marksmanship. I was in the United States Marine Corps for four years, anorganization which prides itself on its excellent marksmanship training. During that time, I learned toappreciate the art of putting a well-aimed round on target. The Marine Corps made me a rifle coach inorder to help other Marines get "bull's-eyes." I later became a long-range marksmanship instructor.During the Persian Gulf war, I heard a lot about "kicking Saddam Hussein's butt." But to myknowledge, SaddamHusseinis still in power in Iraq and his buttocks probably feel just fine. Yet, atleast a hundred thousand OTHER people, including children, were hit and killed by our ordinance. As anAmerican and a father, I am horrified by this. As a formermarksmanship instructor, I am disgusted.Sincerely, Eric Lewis, graduate Reader responds to Bently's letter about racism Dear Editor: Inresponse to Jonathan Bently's letter in the May 3rd issue of the Western Front saying Goller'shypocritical acts create more racism, I have a few things to say. First of all, I'm sorry that you feel"we" African Americans have an "I'm better than you white trash" attitude; personally, I know of no onehere at Western thatfeels like that. Yes, we've had to work very hard just to get where we are at now and we've still got a ways to go but I don't think we in any way feel as though we are superior. Secondly,you sound quite ignorant and possibly quite sheltered in saying that one reason you hate blacks isbecause they are "constantly bitching aboutdiscrimination." Wake Up! We're not the only ones"bitching" and, yes, subtle discrimination is alive and well on this campus. I also believe, Mr. Bentry, that you accuse us blacks as "whining about things like there's not enough blacks at Westernand we need our own room to meet in without whites. Where did you get this information, or did you justassume this is why we requested the Ethnic Student Center? Obviously you were highly misinformed!We've had several non-black visitors who became involved in our organization; contrary to what you sayin your letter, we welcome anyone interested to join our Black Student Network. Our intentions are notto try to exclude meeting with whites as you so disgustingly put it, but it is aplace where Ethnic Students can network with one another. Jonathan, ifyouweren'tsure what you wanted to say with this letter, youprobably shouldhavekept your mouth shut. You don't need to thank Chad, Western, myself, or otherblack students for festering up hate and prejudices. Prejudice and lack of knowledge of ethnic groupsbegins in the home. As for your new phrases "spook" and"nigger,"Isuggestyoulookthose words up foryour own benefit and find out what they really mean, for one of them may be just your size. NatalieSpann, communications senior Multiculturalism should apply to everyone Dear Editor: SalvadorMartin's letter to the editor stating that he does not want to reinforce stereotypes about Chicanos doesnot address all the issues it ought to if Sal is really interested in creating a multicultural society. Theremarks he made were very stereotypical of Whites and White culture. These remarks are indicative of a reification that would be unacceptable if it were to go in the opposite direction. It seems the rules of multiculturalism apply more to Whites than Ethnic Minorities, raising the possibility we are exchangingone system of disrespect for another. When White liberal guilt had currency this exchange might havebeen acceptable, but in these days of an increasing acceptance of what it' means to be White, it is nolonger. Multiculturalism must be adhered to by people of all backgrounds or it will be accepted by none. Dexter Van Zile, graduate student, political science/environmental studies All pets should be spayed or neutered Dear Editor, I am very thankful that the Western Front staff chose Animal Rights as thefeatured issue in the last edition. In light of the other issues brought forth, I would like to stress theimportance of animal owners spaying and neutering their pets. This is an issue which all too often getsignored because it is not in the forefront of the Animal Rights movement, hi my own life, however, itis something I must confront and deal with almost daily. For almost two years I have " worked as anAnimal Welfare Technician at The Humane Society of Seattle/King County, a job I return to everyspring, summer and winter vacation. People often get the wrong impression aboutmy job. Itis easy forsome to paint a picture of some animal- hater approaching a kitten or puppy with a syringe full ofPhenobarbitral and a sadistic grin. Butthis portrait only serves to promote a grossly-distorted view ofreality and misplaces the blame. The truth is that anyone who owns a pet that is not spayed or neutered is contributing to the senseless deaths of the 10-12 million unwanted dogs and cats that are euthanized each year. This irresponsibility on thepart of pet owners results in millions of unwanted litters andmillions of deaths. Many people justify breeding their pets by claiming that they can find a good home for each animal in the litter. Even if this is the case, and most often it is not, these people are deprivingalready existing animals of a home that could have been theirs. Many also justify breeding because their animal is a "Purebred." I would just like to alert these people that over twenty-fivepercentof dogsinshelters are Purebreds and Purebreds are just as susceptible to stress, sickness and temperamentproblems as mixed breeds are. Several other animal owners simply don't think about the necessity ofspaying and neutering and don't realize the implications of this ignorance. I implore all pet owners to look at the fact that millions of animals destroyed every year because people don't think it is necessary tohave their pets altered or because they want to experience the "Miracle of Birth" through their pets. Iurge you to go to a local animal shelter, look into the eyes of any animal there, and tell me that spayingand neutering is not necessary. Iaskyou, too, to understand that while you breed your pets and enjoythe "Miracle of Birth" many others are suffering the reality of death. PLEASE: SPAY AND NEUTERYOUR PETS!

Is there hope at the end of our "enlightened" tunnel? or forthe world's anger are we simply a funnel. Many people hate me; I think I know why but to me it's notjustified, no matter how hard I try. Why do you hate me? Do you have a good reason, Have I committed a crime? a national treason? You say you hate my race, see â€” that includes me too, It doesn't makesense I don't even know you! Why do you hate me? Do you even know my name? Oh, that's right, I forgot â€” "We're all just the same." Be it a joke or intentional it still isn't right I'm tired of sitting, it's time tostand up and fight. Why do you hate me? Did I commit some great sin? Or is simply your "good reason"the color of my skin. Why do they go deaf when it's my turn to talk? Why do you fall limp when it's timefor you to walk? Why do you hate me? I don't understand. Why do you run when I reach out my hand?Why do you hate me, it's not a question any more I know the reason I've said it before. I may not besuccessful if I wage a verbal attack but I'm no longer willing to just turn my back. I know why you hateme, I've committed no sin The reason you hate me is the color of my skin Bently letter sheds light ondevelopment of a racist Dear Editor: Re: a letter from Jonathan Bentley in the Friday, May 3 edition ofthe Front. Mr. Bentley, thank you for helping shed some light on the thought processes and developmentof a racist. Racism stems from a position of power within a society. As white, North American males,you and I, Mr. Bentley, personify that privilege. We personify the power structure that was created by and for the Anglo-saxon white European male. Racism is the ability to systematically exercise that powerand privilege at the expense of peoples of color within our society. Becauseof the historical systematicexclusion of people of color, and women, form the power structures of this country, changes promotingequality have been forced to center at the grass-roots, from below. Chad Goller, and other studentactivists of color, are working for this equality. The fact that you define these struggles for equality asmere "bitching and whining" demonstrates your lack of historical understanding of the systematicsubjugation and marginalization of communities of color. Chad, and the "other black students atWestern," conveniently become the unwitting targets of your reactionary response to their perceivedattack upon your privileges.' Have women and/or gays, because of what your perceive as theirincessant "bitching" and "whining," forced you to adopt sexism and homophobia as doctrines also? Yourfixation with "reverse racism" is an oxymoron. An oppressed people cannot oppress their oppressor. Theconcept's growth and development, however, is a byproduct of the white supremacist movement. Firstcoined and conceived by the National Association for,the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) and its ex-clansman follower David Duke, it has been further promoted by .fellow racist, Populist partyspokesman and syndicated columnist Patrick Buchanan. Both Duke and Buchanan have taken credit forthe institutionalization of the concept, as well as the recent veto of civil rights legislation by George Bush. Hatred such as yours, Mr. Bentley, has fueled the growth of various segments of the far right. TheAmerican Front, a neo-nazi skinhead organization, whose demonstration! witnessed inPortland,Oregon this weekend, is its logical conclusion. Twenty-five to 30 white males repeatedly sieg-heiling(nazi-style) counter demonstrators may seem absurd, but they have also justified their racism. I suggestattending an undoing racism workshop somewhere, sometime soon Mr. Bentley. For although yourracism may never materialize into direct action akin to the American Front, you have already learned,accepted and justified the language of oppression and inequality. Unfortunately, action often follows.Sincerely, Jonathan Zook ISSUES Have something to say about the dilemmas facing this planet,country, state, town or university?

Is the government to blame because the newintellectuals, just like the old ones, are more concerned with making revolution and reaction, personalexpressions of their lifestyles rather than vehicles for any real change? Maybe we should save our mostcaustic, prejudiced and all-encompassing opinions for times when they are justified. Otherwise, I fear,the Front may be crying wolf and may not be taken seriously when a serious issue, which the newspaper may be able to influence, arises. Rape Names, from page 12 bearing on the case. The Times hasbeenmaking an effortrecently to become more "friendly" and readable. Evidently, sensationalism is part ofits new strategy. Ironically enough, the policy system that has deteriorated in this instance held up quitewell during the Central Park jogger case. Why was the wish of a successful, professional woman toremain unidentified respected, and the wish of an "average" individual ignored? A good question to poseto the fair and objective media of the country. Perhaps it's true that the stigmaof rape is perpetuated bythe withholding of names. The secretive approach implies women should hide whathappened, hang theirheads and just try to forget about it. The very fact that we think women need to be "protected" sayssomething about the way we regard the crime. We don't withhold names when the crime is burglary ormurder. As long as the possibility of public crucifixion exists, how can we sacrifice the victim who hadnothing to do with the crime committed against her? While a growing portion of our population sees rapefor the violent crime it"is, another portion persists in the belief that "nice girls" don't get raped. I don'tknow whether this particular woman in Florida was actually raped or not. I don't know anything about theguilt or innocence of the defendant. But I have learned something about the implications that can soeasily be made through our media. In response to the media's handling of the case, something needs tobe said. In any rape case, in any part of the world, in any situation, women do not deserve to be raped.No matter what she was wearing, no matter what she was drinking, no matter what time it was and yes,no matter what her driving record. No woman asks for rape, and for our media to imply any such guilt ininexcusable.

And like more than half of those people, the Longs were told they owed more money. But,unlike most of these people, the Longs decided to fight. Philip Long spoke Tuesday to a political science class about his three years of combat with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). His problems began in1969 with an examination of his tax return. The IRS questioned five items in the return. Feeling that theitems were correct, Long suggested that the question be taken up in the court by a jury. "The supervisorfor the IRS asked me if I knew what a jeopardy assessment was," said Long. "I told him I didn't. He toldme I'd better find out." Long found out that jeopardy assessments were designed to be levied againstpeople who are obviously cheating on their taxes and might flee to avoid prosecution. "A jeopardyassessment allows the IRS to take everything you own and keep it until you pay them what you owe. The amount of the assessment has nothing to do with how much you owe," said Long. "And, there is nocourt review of jeopardy assessments." After that first meeting, Long received notice from the IRS that33 errors had been found in his 1966, '67 and '68 returns. The total amount due came to over $38,000. At this point most Americans either pay or argue. To fight is often more costly than to pay. Those whoargue, however, often have the amount they must pay lowered. The Longs' research showed that theaverage amount finally paid averaged only 28.77 per cent of the original amount, about 40 cents on thedollar, â€¢ However, rather than bargain with the IRS, Long took his problem to the people in a series ofads in the Washington Post. Eleven ads were run under the title "Life Under the IRS, or A Day in thePress-Rather than a Day in Court." "After the ads," Long said, "I got a letter from the IRS saying that amistake had been made. Instead of $38,000,1 actually owed $42,000." Long, with the .help of his wife,decided to fight by learning all he could about the rules and precedents used by the IRS to makedecisions. The Longs soon discovered that much of the information about the inner workings of theagency were classified ~ and not available to the public. A federal law, the Freedom of Information Act of 1966, which was meant to open all agencies' non-secret files to the public, was theonly tool the Longs'had to get their information. The tool worked, but very slowly. The IRS consented, but only partially. TheLongs had to go to court to get all they had asked for, and it wasn't until after a year and a half of struggle that they gained access to the last (cont. on pg. 6) Early-release gets trustees9 approval by ALICECOLLINGWOOD Prisoners will come to Western, possibly by spring quarter, under an early-releasestudy program approved in a 2-1 vote by the Board of Trustees at a special meeting yesterday. Aplanning committee of representatives from Western, Bellinghani Technical Institute and WhatcomCommunity College has been working on the program for several months. Prisoners under the programwill be housed at Western and will be able to study at all three institutions. Whatcom County SheriffBernie Reynolds said he is "strong on any kind of rehabilitation" program. "You can keep putting people in jail," Reynolds said, "but that's not the answer. You have to do something about putting him back onhis feet." The main concern of the board centered upon the housing of prisoners at Western. "How arethey to be disciplined or monitored?" board member Ritajean Butterworth asked. James Wilkins ofWestern's psychology department and a member of the planning committee replied that there would be24-hour surveillance in the living quarters. Board member Paul Hanson said he was opposed to theprogram because of unfavorable response he had received from some citizens of the Bellinghamcommunity. Hanson said much of the response was prompted by a recent hijacking in which one of thealleged hijackers was out of prison under a similar program. College president Charles J. Flora said hesees a "hopeful sign" that this kind of program will be able to tackle prisoner rehabilitation problems atthe local level. He said just paroling a prisoner with $50 in his pocket won't help him readjust tosociety. Flora asked the board for approval on the basis of the contribution Western could make towardrehabilitation of prisoners. Two board members were absent, but Butterworth said they were split ontheir opinions. Harold C. Philbrick, board chairman, said he felt "an air of uncertainty" about theprogram. His main concern was the risk involved in housing the prisoners at Western. the - westernfront western Washington state college IOC Vol. 65 No. 14 FRIDAY November 17,1972 Bellingham,"â€¢"^ One out of four classes at Western is inadequate (Editor's note: This is the fourth of a five-partseries dealing with Western's curricular problems.) by KATHI SANDBOE It is a rare occasion when anumber of students agree on a certain subject, and it's even rarer to find faculty and students inagreement; but a large number of students and faculty agree that more than one fourth of a student'scollege education is inadequate in quality and extent. This proportion of a student's education is required in Western's general education program. As it stands now, a student must take 50 to 75 credits in thisprogram, depending on which option he chooses. The Academic Council's committee on curricularproblems reported that written and verbal comments they received from faculty and students show thegeneral education program to be unsatisfactory. One faculty member called the program "a waste oftime". The committee also said the reason the general education program is unsatisfactory is because itis drastically underfunded. "This college has cannibalized its lower division program, fattening its upperdivision offerings at the expense of general education. The degree of neglect involved here is little short ofcriminal and must not be permitted to continue," the committee said in its report. They also said theythought a student's degree â€¢program should consist of a general education component balanced incredits with his area of specialization. To make this possible they recommended that the 180-credit, four-year concept of the bachelor's degree be abandoned "to insure time for an adequate general educationcomponent and a major." One of the committee's recommendations to revise the general educationprogram was to provide it with an equal share of resources. They said that to accomplish any success inthe program's revision, (cont. on pg. 12) r V Inside...

Jack Broom photo by ALAN BAUER Spiritualismand social activity will help solve the worlds' problems said Shirshir Kumar in talking about Yoga andsocial change on campus this week. The message was simple: only with unselfish love for others canwe change the existing conditions of poverty, starvation, and fighting around the world. The 17-year-oldPhillipine dadajii is one of the four spiritual teachers sent to the U.S. from India. He works out of Berkeley and is in charge of the west coast and Rocky Mountains states. He was sponsored by the AnanadaMarga Collective in Bellingham. Speaking before about 100 people in the VU Tuesday night he told of the help that Ananda Marga is doing around the wolrd He thinks the Ananda Marga Schools in India areabout four academic years ahead of the others because they teach meditation. Education is of primeimportance in this modernized form of a religious sect dating back 6,000 years. He felt Bellingham hadvery open-minded students, especially Christians who sometimes feel they must confine their love toChrist or that a yoga will somehow dilute that love. Shirshir will go to Vancouver and then to WhidbeyIsland's Cornet Bay for a weekend retreat before leaving for Boise and then Anchorage. Jaywalkers,bikers get police warning by MICHAEL HULL Bellingham's policemen are beginning a crackdown onjaywalkers and bicycle traffic law violators. Asst. Chief John Burley said problems involving both areasseem to be increasing and complaints are coming in to police headquarters daily. He would not explainwhat patrolmen would do when contacting a violator. Ticketing or warning the person in violation will beat the officer's discretion, Burley said. Jaywalkers will be the point Trustees okay college rules Rulesgoverning the college community were adopted by Western's Board of Trustees after a special publichearing yesterday. Embodied in a 44-page document, the rules are generally those under which thecollege has operated in the past. But a law passed in the 1971 session of the S t a t e L e g i s l a t u re , the Administrative Procedures Act, requires that they be in standardized written form. Since the lawwent into effect, various groups have been busy gathering the rules governing the college into a"collective document," Mike B a r n h a r t , administrative assistant to the college president, said. Therules concern student rights and responsibilities, the college housing and dining system, the schedulingand use of college facilities, meetings of the board, health and safety, admission and registrationprocedures, general conduct and access to public records and documents. Under the heading of student rights and responsibilities, the rules deal with student conduct, academic honesty, freedom ofexpression, speakers, alcoholic beverages, drugs and other areas. A section on access to publicrecords and documents defines such records and outlines the parties responsible for their safekeepingand dissemination. The Western Front will run a series of three articles summarizing and outlining themain points of some of the rules, starting with the next issue.

Until persons get used to enforcement of the old law,embarrassment tactics will be employed by officers for the most part. Officers will warn violators via loud speakers on the patrol cars. An increase in . cyclist involved accidents is one area of concern to police officers, Burley said, pointing out several infractions that will be particularly watched. Running stopsigns, riding on the wrong side of the street, riding double, two cyclists riding side by side and failing toyield to other traffic are the main violations, he said. Sex ratio lopsided at Western by SONJABROWN Out of the 497 faculty at Western last year, 78 were women. This amounts to 16 per centfemale faculty. This is just one fact that surfaced from a statistical study on the status of women atWestern, compiled through the office of Mary Robinson, associate dean of students. The report isunfinished, Robinson said. Many why's and wherefore's are still unanswered. Factors such as tenure,rank and degrees need to be correlated with existing statistics, she said. There are the numbers,howeverâ€”visible indicators of not-so-visible conditions. The report is based on a comparison of maleand female faculty at Western last year and the two preceding years. Since 1969 there has been a 24per cent increase in the number of men and a 7 per cent increase in the number of women. Last yearthere was a 6 per cent decrease in the number of womenâ€”a drop from 83 in 1970-71 to 78 in 1971-72.Of all the women faculty last year, 38 per cent were in the home economics, physical education andeducation departments. There are 29 departments, including the cluster colleges. The lowerranksâ€”assistant p r o f e s s o r , i n s t r u c t o r, lecturerâ€”hold 61 per cent of women faculty, while43 per cent of men are in these categories. The average salary for women is $1,000 less than for men,although women stay at Western an average of two years longer, the report said. The affirmative actionprogram, a plan to develop equal employment opportunity at Western, will continue research on thestatus of women,where this report has stopped. Gay minister preaches unity by RICHARD ROFF Fieryqueries and curt challenges welcomed the Rev. Robert Sirico, a gay minister to Western Tuesday night.Endorsing homosexuality as "no more a sin than any other sin," the pastor of the MetropolitanCommunity Church in Seattle made reference to the Bible several times to support the religiousacceptance of a homosexual. "It is God's will if a person is homosexual, since they are born ahomosexual," the Rev. Sirico said. "I'm a homosexual, and I've been one ever since I can remember."Further supporting this birth concept, the Rev. Sirico said that when you are born, God blesses you withtwo thingsâ€”the desire to live and your sexuality. It makes no difference whether that sexuality beheterosexual or homosexual, he said. It is the natural will of god. The reverend also projected his feelingstoward what a homosexual is mistakenly thought of as being. "We must abolish the stereotype that ahomosexual is only a man who wants to be a Equal employment plan woman or a woman who wants tobe a man. I'm a man, and I enjoy being a man", he said. "I also enjoy loving another man." According tothe reverend, any real homosexual has always been a homosexual and has not become a homosexual.In the same breath, he added that he has never known a homosexual who has become heterosexual orbeen "saved by the grace of God." The Rev. Sirico was barraged with questions from the doubtfulaudience, and many present quoted and had their own interpretations from the Bible. Noticeably ruffledand distressed, he exclaimed to Jesus fresks and straight and gay people present that he was alwayssaddened when attacked by those of the same general belief. "We all believe in the same spirit of Godand love the same God", he said. "We must all unite, not fight." He ended his address with a prayer.Senate wants tough rules Amendments intended to put "teeth" into the affirmative action program, a planto develop equal employment opportunity at Western for minority groups and women, were approved bythe All-College Senate and sent as advisements to the committee preparing the proposed programMonday. Although the section was finally passed, a controversy developed over a requirement in theamendments that everyone responsible for hiring keep a record of correspondence and interviews of allcandidates considered for a job. The record would also include the reasons for choosing the person hiredand the reasons for refusing other candidates. Sen. Marvin Olmstead said he was concerned about theextra bookwork involved, and Sen. Robert Teshara said he thought it would be sufficient to keep recordsfor minorities and women only. Sen. Constance Faulkner, spokeswoman for the senate committeedrawing up the amendments, said that she realized there was extra work involved but that an outsidecheck was needed to make the program work. The same system worked at the University of Utah, shesaid. She questioned, however, why the provost, "a white male and perhaps the busiest man oncampus", was chosen to administer the program. Several senators objected to what they saw as acontradiction in the proposed affirmative action plan. The document states in one section that there willbe preferential hiring of minorities and women in order to correct existing discrimination in employment.Another section states that persons will be hired "without regard to race, religion, color, national origin,sex or age." Several senators also objected to vagueness and potential for misinterpretation in thesection that states that race, sex, etc., will not be a factor in hiring "except where such is a bona fideoccupational qualification." Sen. Faulkner suggested than an explanation of the wording from theregulations of the Human Rights Commission be included. Sen. Hyung-Chan Kim said that there shouldbe definite criteria for job qualifications so that if there is a violation it can be readily seen. "Whoeverinterprets qualifications must have some criteria," he said. Sen. Sain Kelly asked whether information will be made public that is presented to the grievance committee on equal employment. Chairman of theAffirmative Action Committee and campus personnel officer, Fillip Leanderson, said target dates have notyet been set because Western's employment "profile" is still unknown. He said the Washington state1972 profile is: 7 per cent-ethnic minority (2.2 per cent-Spanish American, 2.2 per centâ€”black, 1 percent-American Indian, 1 per cent-Asain, .3 per cent-other.) Besides senators and members of theAffirmative Action Committee no one else testified at the hearing. At its Nov. 27 meeting the senate willagain consider the proposal, which must go to the Board of Trustees for approval by Dec. 7 and to thegovernor's office by Dec. 15. With the threat of withdrawing funds, federal and state governments havedirected Western to devise and carry out an equal employment plan. r Committee to study publications\ . A five-member ad hoc committee was appointed Wednesday by the College Services Council (CSC)to determine where the Student Publications Council fits into the college government. The committeewas asked to report back to the CSC by Nov. 28 with a document on where the publications councilshould fit in and, if possible, where its funding should come from. During the open hearing, CSC agreedthat a publications council should continue to exist. The publications council is the policy-setting andreview committee for the three student publications-the Western Front; Jeopardy, a literary publication;and Klipsun, a magazine. The ad hoc committee will propose a document on whether the StudentPublication Council should report to the All-College Senate directly, CSC directly, or to the AssociatedStudents Board of Directors. ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front Riders quiet over Chuckanut route Old Fairhaven site RichCollingwood photo obile homes on the move by RAHN LAHTI The mobile homes, presently located atthe south end of Western's campus, are going to be relocated several miles away to make room foranother parking lot. One unoccupied home has already been moved and the other 42 will be movedbefore the middle of December, housing director Pete Coy said. The mobile homes are being relocatedin a new development called "Bakeryiew Mobile Home Park," located in the northwest part of Bellingham near the intersection of Barnes Road and Sterling Drive. The development is expected to be completedin May or June. "It will be, by far, the best mobile home park in this county!" Coy said. Although thedevelopment won't be finished until the middle of next year, Coy has already started moving theunoccupied homes to the new site. "We're moving them as soon possible," Coy said. "First we'll movethe unoccupied homes, then the other ones. The people knew they were going to be moved when theysigned the contracts." He continued. "We moved one of the units over there, but it sank up to its axlesin tne mud. The lots aren't ready yet, so I discontinued the moving until the contractors" improve theconditions." Coy said he hoped to get all the 43 units moved by the end of this month, or at the latest,early next month. The development will eventually hold about 140 units. Western will still own only the43 units it now owns. "They're really a pretty good deal," Coy said. The mobile homes rent at $110 amonth, unfurnished, but that includes everything except electricity and telephone." "Right now we've only got about half of them rented," Coy added.

Chuckanut Drive may become a permanent bicycle route if enough positiveresponse is received by the state highways department, Marvin Chennault, state highways maintenance superintendent, said this week. Chennault said the issue had been discussed in the highways d e p a rt m e n t after three successful "Bicycle Sundays." "The highways department would consider makingthe bike route permanent if response pro or con is received. We have been waiting for comment aboutthe bicycle days, but so far have received nothing from the . public," he said. "At the present, we aren'tsure what the public wants because of the lack of response." Chennault indicated that the establishment of a permanent route would mean signs along Chuckanut and also a reduction in the speed limit."Chuckanut is narrow, anyway, and it might be good for people to slow down and see what it has tooffer. On the other hand, people that live out that way and drive in to work aren't interested in the scenery on their way to work." Chennault said that bicycle days are probably over for this year. But it mightbegin again next May â€¢ or June if the p e r m a n e n t route isn't 'established. The weather has turned too cold for any more until the winter is over, he said. During September, the peak participation wasabout 235, and yabout 435 participated during an exceptionally warm October.

More than 100 Chicanos and their supporters expressed anger and disappointment over the decision by shouting and stomping. After the Council membersrecessed abruptly, the Chicanos took over their seats and held a meeting of "the People's City Council." The "People's City Council" discussed why they should have Beacon Hill School and what they coulddo with it. After many shouts on the subject and some unflattering remarks about some of the realcouncil members, the people's council voted unanimously "that the people should have Beacon HillSchool."

BELLINGHAM OFFICE: 128 East Holly St. Silent gonorrhea discovered in returning Vietnam vets A team of doctors has found evidence suggesting that an substantial number of troopsreturning from Vietnam may have "silent" gonorrhea which could have national implications unless themen are found and treated. The doctors told a scientific meeting Monday it is possible that much of anincreasing resistance of gonorrhea germs in the United States to antibiotic drugs has been due to " i mp o r t a t i o n of resistant strains". They attribute it largely to Vietnam returnees whose owntransmisible infection was over-looked because they show no symptoms. The doctors, from the Vet'stutoring paid by VA Veterans with academic problems can get Veterans Administration (VA) financedtutoring more easily under the provisions of a law that became effective Oct. 24. The new law, which also increased educational benefits, removed the requirement that a student must be failing a course to beeligible for a VA-paid tutor. It also made tutoring available for the first time to wives, widows and children studying under the agency's d e p e n d e n t s educational assistance program. For this help, the VApaid tutors up to $50 for each month or portion of a month, up to a maximum of nine months. Under thenew law, however, the VA pays for the actual time spent tutoring, up to a maximum of $50 a month. This tends to "stretch" tutorial benefits which eligible persons may continue to use until a total of $450 isexhausted.

They defined asymptomaticgonorrhea as a gonorrhea infection which produces no symptoms in the male or the female infected butmay produce active disease if transmitted sexually. The doctors tested 2,000 Vietnam veterans whowere undergoing routine physical examinations at Fort Lewis and at Madigan General Hospitalimmediately prior to discharge from the Army. The doctors said that those who had sexual exposureduring their years in Vietnam-a n u m b e r they did not specify-two and one half per cent were found tobe infected but showing no symptoms.

Pam Hawks photo Second of series Western tutorials1 giving and takingÂ»uÂ»Â»uÂ»wiwÂ»wiimimwiwtim by BILL BRASWELL "Hand-in-hand" at Lummi is the largest ofWestern's tutorials programs. It serves about 70 students and has a staff of about 50 volunteers. MarkRetasket, coordinator of Lummi, says Lummi is divided into two sessions on Monday and Tuesday. The Monday session is held at the Marietta Elementry school; about 30 students are involved. The sessionis partially recreational and is designed to provide new experiences for the children. The children getmore individual attention but learn to interact in large groups, Retasket said. The Tuesday sessions,which are held in the homes evolved from the Monday session. There are about 25 students involved inthis person-to-person approach. "The Monday sessions were so successful that individual parentsinvited tutors to come to he homes and . help their children," said Retasket. Retasket explained theLummi program is providing a tutorial service for the Lummi community and providing new experiencesfor the children in the program. "We have good public relations with the community," Retasket said."Children in the program come from six schools: Vista, Central Elementry, Marietta Elementry,Whatcom Middle School, Shuksan Middle School, and Bellingham High School. "Two priorities of thecoordinator are to plan activities for children from kindergarden to eleventh grade and find qualified people for each age group; and to arrange meetings with teachers in the schools," Retasket said. Retasketviews the Lummi program as a success but says that it could get better. "There is a need for more maletutors and we encourage education majors and speech majors to become involved in the tutorialsprogram also. "Tutorials would also like to have an education faculty member as an adviser to help uswith methods and techniques." "The most basic problem that we encounter is that of reading," Retasketsaid. "Many of the children's problems are reflections of community problems." "The Lummi community s u f f e r s from high unemployment, substandard housing, and an average education level of eighthgrade or less," Retasket said. "When we understand the problems of the community then we can beginto address ourselves to what we might want to accomplish with our students." ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 17 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, November 17, 1972 Western Front 5 commentary Are you all happy? letters by KATHISANDBOE If attendance is an indication of opinion, students at Western are completely happy with thegeneral education program. The Academic Council's ad hoc committee on the general education program held four open hearings, the last of which was Wednesday, in which faculty and students were invited togive their opinions of the program. At the last meeting, three students attended to give their comments.But at least two of them may be sorry they did. A Spanish-elementary education major said that shedidn't like history and would like to see that requirement dropped. One committee member, of the historydepartment, said that those who intend to teach need the broadest liberal arts education. He also said he would not like to have her teaching his children. Another student, an art major, had some complaintsabout the science and math reqirements. These were also severely criticized. The other three committeemembers are in the math and science departments. But at the other three meetings, general educationfaculty were the main audience. And coincidentally, it was usually the same faculty members. Thegeneral feeling shared by most of the program's faculty is that there is too much to cover in too little time. They feel that too much time is spent in the class just teaching the student the background he needs for the course. One general studies 321 instructor said, "There is too much ignorance to overcome beforewe can start doing our job". He also said that students coming into 321 have no background ororganized approach to the subject, and he suggested offering a humanities class for background before a student takes 321. A humanities instructor said that the students he gets in his classes are inarticulatein the humanities. As an approach to this problem, he assigns four essay papers for the course. "Thefourth is a little better than the first." Another problem with the present program that was brought out iswith the faculty who teach the courses. One person who has been connected with the program for a longtime said, "The problem is not a failure of curriculum, but the failure of teaching. There are too few goodteachers." One member of the committee said the problem with the faculty is that 80 per cent aren'tcapable or don't want to teach lower division courses. He felt the program should be bent to fit theteachers instead of the students. What apparently will prove to be one of the committee's main obstacles in its suggestions a revision of the program is that every faculty member will feel a course from hisdepartment is imperative to a student's liberal arts education. Whatever revision the committee makeswill be done with the lack of funds foremost in their minds. The underfuhding of the program has beenone of its major problems. W.L. Barrett, chairman of the committee, said that the only way to have agood program is to have more money and "we aren't going to get it". Students who have suggestions onthe general education program's revision can still take them to Barrett, Bond Hall 192. Giving the hacksthe ax Editor, Western Front: One would assume that since the student indirectly pays for the WesternFront through his tuition fees, (four pages are paid for by the students), the paper would be there for thestudents' benefit. How sad to find out that even the people paper is not immune from "power tripping"and petty people. In the V.U. are located a great many student services; ranging from information aboutgay people to drugs to sex to legal help to veterans' administration. These offices are all non-profit. Toadvertise what services are offered is impossible. The Front will not publish any article from theinformation center if it is written in advertising form. Instead, some aspiring hack gets his shot at a re-write and waters down the information with his own verbal garbage. When the Front was presented withthis problem, they used the two cop-outs that seem to be available to such a bureaucracy. One: "Well,it's our policy to do it that way." Two: "If you want an ad, you have to pay for it!" The students pay forthe paper and have the right to expect the paper to serve them, not a few individuals who have an egotrip and find the paper is the perfect outlet for it. If the student can't find out about the services available,how can he use them? One way is through the student newspaper, but as long as policies that are nowin force are in force, the student is being ripped off. His money is mis-spent and he isn't being informedabout what is available to help him. Paul Shadinger junior (Editor's note: Although the students pay forfour pages of the Western Front, the other pagesâ€”in today's issue it is eight extra pagesâ€”are paidthrough advertising revenue. There are certain fixed costs in producing a newspaper which makes it afinancial necessity that the Western Front not run free advertising. And with over 20 student servicesplus over 50 student clubs and organizations on campus, it is difficult to see how the Front could run free advertising on each one without going broke. However, that is not to say the Front will not run newsstories from the various groups around campus. A quick glance through the paper should reveal that it isnot 'impossible' to get into print. But if you mean by 'power tripping' that the Front reserves the editorialright to rewrite news releases and decide on the placement of stories, then we must plead guilty. But itshould be pointed out that even the Front's 'aspiring hacks' are subject to having their copy rewritten if itcontains too much 'verbal garbage.') Kodak advertising attacked Editor, Western Front: Kodak has been running large ads lately in the Western Front. They talk about cutting water and air pollution whichsounds good. But there is another side to the coin. "Kodak is involved in 47 countries all over the world.Actively involved," as the ad states. This includes Southeast Asia where the war seems never to end.Kodak is directly involved in producing defense products. They manufacture fuses for high explosiveammunition to be used against air targets, produce films for surveillance and mapping and operate andmaintain an Army ammunition plant in Kingsport, Tennessee. T h e i r e n v i r o n m e n t al endeavorssound valid. Kodak wants to "further society's interests," they say. Yet they remain involved in delensecontracts. I urge people to boycott Kodak sunnlies until they cease their dealings with the military.Most of the war has become automated through equipment such as Kodak's. A button can kill a person, a group of people. Responsibility and morality can easily be neglected. "I only pushed a button."Another person only relayed a radio message and the president only ordered a defensive. And we asconsumers continued to buy Kodak's supplies therefore supporting their policies. Those of us opposedto the war in Southeast Asia can refuse to buy from Kodak and similar companies that produce defenseitems such as stereos, watches, pens, sporting goods and sewing machines. The Vietnam Veteran'sAgainst the War in the Viking Union (214B) has a list of these companies that ought to be boycottedalong with president's addresses if you want to write and let them know how you feel.

John Robinson,Fairhaven College 948 Gerry Wolfe, Vietnam Veteran Against the War On the elections McGovernEditor, Western Front: To all those who voted for McGovern: Don't give up, Don't become apathetic! For it is now in your hands that the future greatness of America lies. McGovern had a dream as Martin Luther King Jr. did. He felt America was at her age of human glory and wisdom. He thought that Americansbelieved in equality for all, in every respect; that they valued peace above war; that racism was at aconfrontation and on its way out; that the youth of America were different from their parents-ready "forchange and humanitarian ideals; that Americans cared more for their environment than economicsecurity. McGovern believed that if a person were to speak directly and honestly to the Americanpeople-carrying a rational message of peace and the ever growing need for changeâ€”that they wouldlisten, understand, and strive for these goals. McGovern fervently believed in America having these basic values. The valu
