MARY REXROTH / Mary Rexroth, 20-year-old daughterof poet-critic Kenneth Rexroth and four-time star of pornographic movies will be a guest speaker duringthe pornography symposium, today. Miss Rexroth, described by the San Francisco Chronicle as "a tall,buxom and studious-looking brunette who looks fantastic with her clothes off" starred in her latest flick,titled "Intersection," late in January. "Intersection," a 63-minute, hard-core film, played at the SutterCinema. In it, she has sex with at least three men and another girl, according to the Chronicle. At aprivate screening following the film Miss Rexroth declared that she liked her own films. "They really turnme on," she said. She wouldn't tell reporters how much she was paid but said: "A lot of chicks claimthey're just in it for the money. But there are a whole lot of easier ways to make money than that. Igenerally only made $50 a day. "The reason I do itâ€”the reason a lot of chicks do it-is because I enjoymaking films. It's a complete sex trip." "Intersection" depicts a neurotic, if not schizophrenic, girl'ssexual fantasies, which begin on a cable car ride. Miss Rexroth, who dropped out after two years at theUniversity of California at Santa Barbara, where her father teaches, described it as a "non-linear rite ofinitiationâ€”it had most of the steps of any standard rite of initiation." The film, a feature of LeoProductions, was made almost entirely by a good friend of hers, Jann Burner, 26, who directed, lit, shotand cut the film-his eighth-all for $2,300. Burner will appear at Western the same day as Miss Rexroth.ARLENE ELSTER Arlene Elster, 30-year-old owner of San Francisco's Sutter Cinema, a plushestablishment specializing in the showing of erotic films, will appear at Western April 27 for the three-day pornography symposium. Miss Elster was born in Port Arthur, Tex. She took her bachelor of sciencedegree in medical biology from the University of Texas at Austin, and worked for several years as alaboratory assistant in Texas and California. She also worked at the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank in SanFrancisco doing research in blood (Coagulation, and at the Haight-Asbury Free Clinic, where she met her future partner in producing erotic films, Lowell Pickett. In 1968 they formed Leo Productions as anindependent producing unit, and later acquired the SutteKQinema as an outlet for their creative eroticfilms. They have expanded into the distribution field, which is taking up more and more of Miss Elster'stime. The Sutter Cinema is dedicated to showing good films with good sex, turning couples on to erotica and encouraging new film-makers to make more and better erotic films. This was the main reasonbehind the First International Erotic Film Festival which Sutter Cinema and Leo Productions sponsoredlast December, in which the full-house audiences saw more than 45 films of erotic nature. Miss Elster'sportion of the symposium will deal with pornography in the cinema. SPENCER MOORE Spencer Moore, graduate student and teaching assistant in English will speak Thursday during the three-daysymposium. Moore supplements his income by writing adult erotic fiction aimed specifically at "those ofus who have a less than happy sex life," according to Moore. Moore has written several novels and saysof his work, "I like to hit the reader just below the belt with my fiction." Urie Seeks AS Presidency asWrite-in Candidate Tony Urie, a write-in candidate, has thrown his hat into the AS presidential ring. Urieannounced his candidacy last Friday and is basing his campaign on a broad, two-part platform. The firstpart of his platform deals with the student placement center, the Curriculum Commission Report, Federal counter-intelligence activities and bookstore rebate. Urie says he is dissatisfied with the placementcenter since it placed only 55 per cent of last year's teaching graduates. He is opposed to theCurriculum Commission Report because he doesn't think it's a good idea to abolish departments without a foreseeable program to replace them. U r i e w a n t s all F e d e r al counter-intelligence activitiesstopped. He says the AS president "must do all in his power to persuade the college administration totake a stand against surveillance and refuse to allow student's personal records to be reviewed byFederal agents." Urie says he will push for a computerized bookstore rebate, where every year after theprofits are declared â€¢ gt; the percentage of profit to sales will be sent back to the student purchaser.The second part of Urie's platform deals with a proposed athletic association which will include about3,000 students by next fall, he says. "The essential goal of the association is to stir the mind towardsphysical fitness, and to dissolve differences between varsity and non-varsity athletes. In addition, theassociation seeks to unify those interested into one group where their desires can be heard andsatisfied," he said. Urie said he will definitely involve m i n o r i t y students in student government. Hepointed out that the athletic association is made up of many minorities. His opinion on the Vietnam waris that he wants to see a speedy end to the war and "all Americans back home in order that ourgovernment may use all .its resources for the problems at home." TONY URIE Marches Approach Asmall group of military 'veterans for peace' met with the Bellingham People's Coalition last Tuesday anddiscussed plans for military and civilian demonstrations in May. A march to Bellingham City Hallscheduled for May 5 and a demonstration by Ft. Lewis military base personnel on May 15 and 16 are two of the events. The May 5 march is scheduled to begin from the Viking Union and will head to theBellingham Public Library lawn across from City Hall. The march is a protest against the killings ofstudents at Kent State and Jackson State universities last year and against the Vietnam War. Lt. HenriValenti and Lt. Jim Klimiski from Ft. Lewis, near Tacoma, told the groups about a May 16 demonstrationwhich will combine both military personnel and civilians opposed to the war. It is called the Anti-ArmedForces Day protest. It is scheduled to take place at Ft. Steilacoom Park, also near Tacoma. The day'sevents will include rock-and-roll bands and several speakers, possibly including actress Jane Fonda. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 27 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, April 27, 1971 Western Front 3 AS Candidates Polish Their Platforms JOE McCONKEY JoeMcConkey believes it is very important to involve minority students in student government or else thegovernment won't be representative. McConkey says he will actively recruit help from the various campus organizations and involve minorities in any place that would involve their interest. He will definitely have a member from each minority group in his cabinet because they have something to add to studentgovernment. He believes the Vietnam War "is the most heinous crime this nation has ever committed."Somehow or another we've got around to where you can kill women and children as long as you do it inthe name of anti-communism," McConkey said. This attitude demonstrates the sickness the VietnamWar has created in America, according to him. McConkey will join in the peace march slated for May 5"just like I did last year," he said. "I am marching because I hate apathy and you've got to dosomething," he said. MARY WATTS In what Mary Watts describes as a "primarily student servicesoriented student government," it will be important to draw the various minority groups together. Minoritystudents would be involved in the Joe McConkey-Mary Watts government any place their interest wouldbe involved. Such student services as housing would get special emphasis in opening housing tominority students. "We're working on national issues that involve certain minorities like the Third WorldCoalition now," Miss Watts said. A p p o i n t m e n t s in s t u d e nt government will be made with aview toward the individual's qualifications, she said. Miss Watts said she is a pacifist to start with andshe plans to participate in the May 5 anti-war march through Bellingham. "If My Lai didn't tell us I don'tknow what's going to," she said, referring to atrocities in the war. "I feel that we have to take a stand. We intend to work with those bodies on campus who are working on such things." TOD SUNDQUIST TodSundquist, was so dissatisfied with the platforms of other AS presidential candidates that he decided torun a write-in campaign for the position a scant.day and a half before the primary election. "My wholeemphasis in the campaign is gearing education to the future," he said. While the other candidates areconcerned with the Vietnam War, Sundquist says he is interested in changing academic programs toemphasize ability to cope with future situations like the War, or pollution; issues which are vitallyimportant to students today. "We have to educate persons so they will understand war and be capableof dealing with future problems rather than concentrating on the immediate situation," he said. Theimmediate approach of a protest march will only make a small dent in the entire problem, according toSundquist. "I regard United States participation in the Southeast Asian War as a blunder," he said, but "I support Nixon in his efforts to scale the war down." Sundquist said he would participate in the May 5peace march provided that efforts are also made to educate students on how such problems arise, andhow to deal with them. LARRY DIAMOND Larry Diamond and Tod Sundquist are running as a ticketsince Diamond's specialty is non-academics and Sundquist's is academics. Diamond stressed thatstudent government should represent the will of the people. He belives that students at Western areconservatively-moderate, generally speaking. Associated Students funds should go toward studentservices such as drug information, sex information and community related programs, Diamond feels.Student government should not take it upon itself to make an effort to get minorities into the government. Minorities should be aware of student government and become involved on their own, he said. "Ipersonally feel that my views on the war are totally irrelevant to this campaign," he said. "I do feel what is important is how the majority of the students feel. If we know this then student government can take arepresentative course of action." Diamond said he would probably not participate in the May 5 peacemarch for two reasons: â€”he was injured in a previous demonstration and probably is not able to walkthat far. â€”he believes that demonstrations are ineffective, for the most part, in advancing a cause.Man-in-the-Street Student Government Is a 'Farce', Some Say PAT BRENNEN Front Reporter In themidst of primary election day last week the Front questioned a number of students on their opinion ofstudent government. Some of the students candidly admitted that they didn't feel sufficiently informed orinterested enough to give an opinion. Others like Lee Keown a graduate history student from Needham,Mass., had a very definite opinion. "I feel student government is a very nebulous thing, they seem to beat their heads against the wall," he said. "I haven't voted in a student election for five years because of alltheir bitching, moaning and "power plays." "It reminds me of junior politics in America." Keown explained that even though student government was closely related to his field of study, he still didn't understand it. "I've even taught government in junior college and I still can't figure out what they are doing." As he waswalking away he turned and added, "Student government is a farce, no one really cares!" One studentwho admitted she didn't care was Patt Geraghty, a senior visual communications education major fromSeattle. "I live off campus and am tremendously interested in my field of study," she said. "I don't thinkI'm part of the social scene at school." "I really don't have the time or the interest to follow studentgovernment. It takes a lot of time and effort to follow student government closely enough to know whatthey are doing." Miss Geraghty added that she thought the major problem with student government wasthat it seems to run in a cycle. "They are still arguing about the same things they were three years ago." In agreement with her was Tom Dunn, a senior visual communications education major from Seattle. "Ithink student government is non-existant," said Dunn. "I don't see how it effects students; nothing seems to change from one candidate to another. If I vote today it's for the guy who wants to abolish studentgovernment." After a moment's thought Dunn qualified his remark and said that he felt studentgovernment shouldn't really be abolished, but that he believed it wasn't very effective. Rick Bowman, asophomore visual communications education major from Philadelphia, Pa. didn't even ponder thequestion for a minute. "Abolish it!" he exclaimed. "It doesn't do a decent job." Bowman explained hewas dissatisfied because, "The government does something and then the student body finds out about it. "I think the whole student body should be able to have a say in the important issues." As a final point,Bowman raised a question. "What does student government do with our money?" he asked. "I think thatshould be checked into." Two students who felt student government should not be abolished were RonGraafstra, a senior urban planning major from Kirkland, and Rich Aubert, a freshman pre-major fromBellingham. Graafstra admitted that he didn't know much about student government. "But I don't thinkthey should abolish it," he added. "Students should have some say about what concerns them." Aubertsaid he feels the student government is doing a good job, but he added that he really hadn't read any ofthe issues or gotten involved in student government. "I don't think student government should beabolished, students should have a say," he added. All of the students interviewed admitted that theyhadn't gotten around to voting yet. One admitted that he wasn't going to vote, the others all said theyplanned on voting sometime that day. As Lee Keown said, "To maintain a good representative studentgovernment people have to get out andyote.. At, least, 40. per .cent ,of. the student body should vote inevery election." Aubert Geraghty Graafstra Dunn Keown Bowman ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 27 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, April 27, 1971 Front Editorials.... " T o comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" |^ + fS^i 1 ICf f* r l l If* by steve Johnston Friday's AS Election The Front editorial staff isplanning to endorse several candidates for student government offices in Friday's important AS generalelection. We hope that our readers who intend to vote will thoroughly acquaint themselves with theannounced candidates and then ballot accordingly. Our endorsements will be made only after we havehad every opportunity to examine the various platforms. We are confident that well-informed voters onthis campus will pick the right choices. And to help our readers become well-informed, we have givenspace to each of the candidates, including the write-ins, on page three of today's issue. In addition, thisnewspaper challenges each of the presidential candidates to a no-holds-barred public debate of theissues at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Viking Union coffee den./ The debate will focus on questions raised byour own editorial staff and questions volunteered by anyone in the audience. We encourage every student who is interested in salvaging what is left of student government to join with us in a thoroughexamination of the candidates. With few exceptions, this race for student government has beenappallingly lackluster. Some of the candidates have pointedly avoided frank discussions of the majorissues facing student government today, while others have failed to meet the students and sound outtheir opinions. We hope that tomorrow night's debate will prove that some of the candidates are not well-versed in what is going on at Western, and that some of the candidates are not well-qualified to take overthe helm of what may become a sinking ship. As a matter of policy, the Front will not accept letters tothe editor from candidates for Friday's issueâ€”the date of the AS general election. We hope each ofthem will make a more personal-oriented attempt to meet the students. â€”John Stolpe EDITOR: JohnStolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor PHOTO EDITOR: DaveSherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPYEDITOR: Marie Haugen SPORTS EDITOR: Larry Lemon STAFF REPORTERS: GENERALASSIGNMENT:) Pat Brennen, Dianne Jacobs, Glen Jones, Mike Kerr, Merilee Pethtel, Jim Thomson.ADMINISTRATION: Scott Anderson, Jim Austin, Mary Peebles.

Probably have, but didn't realize it. Anyway,an oxymoron is a figure of speech where contradictory ideas are combined. Pretty heavy, huh? Can'tthink of too many, just "thunderous silence" and Dante's "There was no light, just darkness visible."Visible darkness? Hmmm . . . . RELEVANT IS THE MOST overworked word in the English language, areader contends. QUESTION: What's the longest running play? ANSWER: That would be The Mousetrap in London. It has been going for a little over ten years. Ever heard of it? . . . QUESTION: If I wanted to bepoor, where would be the best place to move? ANSWER: Move to Mississippi. The people there have the lowest average income in the United States. Around $1,751 a year. THERE ARE ABOUT 85,000different types of flies just buzzing around, bugging people. But Lenny Bruce used to feel sorry for thepests. He said, "They never hurt anybody. Even though they are supposed to carry disease, I never heardanybody say he caught something from a fly. My cousin gave two guys the clap, and nobody everwhacked her with a newspaper." DR. S. L. HAMMAR AT THE U OF W INSISTS that babies whosemothers feed them solid food before they are three months old have a good chance of becoming fat lateron in life. The good doctor also says the parents are usually happy about this fat situation because itdiscourages the normal boy-girl relationship. QUICKIES: IT COST COLUMBUS APPROXIMATELY $7,250 to discover America SALT IS THE ONLY THING you eat that was not alive at one time THE U.S.GOVERNMENT spends around $250 per hour to keep one helicopter flying in Vietnam. This includeswages, gas, maintenance, etc A SCIENTIST SAYS the earth goes through hot and cold spells every 90years. Right now we are in a cold spell, should warm up around 1990. EARTH WEEK: I was driving home last week and saw this boy, maybe nine or 10 years old, walking along the edge of the freeway near theFerndale turn-off. He had a gunny sack slung overdone shoulder and was picking up paper, bottles, cans,you know, just the junk people throw out of their cars. He was by himself, I mean it wasn't a class project to clean up the roadside. The boy took it upon himself to do it. No story here, really. But this lonelyfigure walking next to the freeway, picking up the mess he didn't make, just struck me and thought youwould like to know about it. STRANGE LAWS: In New Jersey, you can be arrested for slurping soupELLENSBURG'S LAW says it's unlawful to ride a horse in a hotel lobby while drunk THE WOMEN'S LIBwill have to get after this one: in Wyoming, women are required to stand five feet from the bar whiledrinking IN ENGLAND it used to be a hanging offense for anyone who tried to commit suicide and failed.:)::(: 4: $ :Â£ FORGOT TO MENTION LAST WEEK, but soybeans are also used to make linoleum. Alsowas informed that babies who can't drink regular milk are sometimes fed soybean milk. There must besome way we can show our appreciation to these wondrous beans. Maybe form a Take-a-soybean-to-lunch Week. THE KIWI BIRD IS STILL a hot item. When one student was informed that it laid an eggone-third its body weight, he was quoted as saying, "Oh yeah?" Well, besides this feat, the pleasantlyplump bird has hairy feathers and doesn't fly. Did receive a strange note on the Kiwi the other day. Itread: "It has long been known that the Kiwi travels to the beat of a different didgeridoo." Must say that'snot quite true. The didgeridoo is only played in Australia and the Kiwi lives in New Zealand. TSARMICHEL, WESTERN'S RULER-IN-RESIDENCE, has declared tomorrow to be a Day of Silence. To helphim observe this historic occasion, Michel has asked all students, faculty and staff to speak no morethan necessary. The unusual quiet will hopefully exist throughout the campus from dawn 'til midnight.When asked about classes and offices, Michel replied: "I'd prefer absolute silence but instructors will have to lecture and students will be allowed to ask and answer questions in class." He also agreed thatspeaking would be necessary in offices. "The important places will be inside the dining halls and RedSquare," Michel said. "These are the places where most conversations are held." If ;you plan on playingpinochle -Wednesday, consider, arranging hand signals Tuesday. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 27 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, April 27, 1971 Western Front 5 Guest Commentary Uniting the Third World JULIE GONZALEZ The Third World Coalition For too long the people of the Bellingham community have remained aloof from any political situations which they mistakenly feel does not directly relate to them. The hippies and even the so-called radical whites know little or nothing or hold mistaken notions about what the Third Worldstruggle is all about. A prime example of this are the people who are involved exclusively in the anti-warmovement. They see the war in Vietnam as a mistake, rather than an example of American policies hereand abroad. Vietnam is but one gross example of American policies, domestic and foreign. The UnitedStates, through NATO, supplies arms and air power to the Portuguese colonial government in Angola sothat the Southern African Liberation movement is not only fighting the Portuguese government, but theyare also fighting American power. When we say, "Get out of Vietnam," we should also be saying, "Getout of Southern Africa." We need to say, too, "Get out of the Middle East, before you have anotherVietnam on your hands." A similar situation already exists there with the United States governmentkeeping the Palestinian people oppressed in intolerable living conditions in refugee camps. Becausethey are not being told the truth about the Israeli situation, the American people hold the mistaken notionthat the people of Israel are poor innocent victims of anti-Semitics who won't leave them alone. The truthis, that Israel is a fascist, racist state, which is able to survive because of U.S. support, both economicand military. The U.S. government keeps not only those abroad oppressed, but also those at home.White growers are allowed to live off the blood of farmworkers by paying them meager wages, while at the same time saturating them with dangerous pesticidal chemicals. Yet the propaganda machine tells usthat we are trying to help other peoples get their freedom and bring their standard of living up to ours.They don't tell us things like the fact that one-and-a-half per cent of the population of the United Statesrules and steers the whole nation. (Read 'The Rich and the Super Rich.") They don't tell us that the mass media is almost completely owned and controlled by a small number of conglomerate chains like Hearst and Newhouse, who supply the only "news" to millions of people. Third World Days is an attempt tobring Angola, Palestine and other third world issues close to home. Bellingham may not be aware of it,but this city is a breeding ground for future violence, when third world people get together. The Bellingham community acts as though no third world problems exist here. But they are here; in the Lummireservation, in the Nooksack area, and in the super-racist Lynden community with its token migrantprograms. There is a Third World armed struggle going on around the world and at home. People areuniting and realizing who the enemy really is; a society which glorifies the genocide of millions ofAmerican Indians in the name of its "manifest destiny." It is a society that has murdered over 3 millionYellow people in Southeast Asia under the pretext of protecting the White man at home. The day hascome when many Brown, Black, Red, and Yellow people are refusing to fight other Third World brothersand sisters so the White man can profit. Soon, more Third World people, including those in theBellingham community, are going to stop depending on the White master's benevolence to stopoppressing them, and the gun is going to be turned against him. Third World Days is an attempt to make people aware of what lies ahead, and to find out what can be done to avoid the bloodshed before it's toolate. Julie Gonzalez The Third World Coalition 'Everyone Has Paid Enough ' Getting Out of Vietnam ByLLOYD MEEDS Congressman The military was very confident when I visited Vietnam three years ago inJanuary. My visit came just before the Tet Offensive that proved the generals wrong and turned Americanopinion firmly against the war. The fighting continues, however, and Vice-President Ky of South Vietnamsaid recently that it would take another 15 to 20 years before his countrymen were fully capable ofdefending themselves. I have in mind a far different timetable. I think Mr. Ky should be ready to paddlehis own canoe by next year. To South Vietnam we have given 50,000 American lives, 10 years ofassistance, and $120 billion. In my view, this investment of lives and money has fulfilled our"commitment." South Vietnam should not expect us to give more. I disagree with those who dispute ouroriginal intentions in helping the South Vietnamese. Providing them with a military "umbrella" underwhich to become self-reliant was both generous and in our national interest. If South Vietnam has notundertaken the necessary reforms to win over its people and to strengthen its will, it is not because wehave been timid and stingy. Our troop strength has declined from a high of 540,000 in July of 1969 to acurrent level of 284,000. Another 100,000 will be taken out by the end of the year according to PresidentNixon's schedule. Like many Americans, I feel that this pace of withdrawal can and should beaccelerated. I will support efforts'to terminate the.U.S; combat Tole by the end of the year and to restrictthe remaining forces to an advisory role. While nearly every congressman has a slightly different position on the war, it is becoming more and more likely that the Congress in 1971 will adopt some kind of formal resolution to hasten the end of the fighting in the near future. It has become clear that our men heldprisoner in North Vietnam will remain captive until and unless the United States either withdraws itsfighting forces or sets a definite date for ending our role on the battlefield. Hanoi has treated our menshamefully, but to make sure that they come home, we are going to have to step up the pace of our exit. It is less clear but certainly possible that our withdrawal will bring about a change in the Saigongovernment. Hanoi has insisted that peace will never come until the Thieu-Ky regime is replaced.Regardless of the merits of the current government, our policy and Hanoi's actions are going to havesome effect on the elections scheduled for this fall. The principal opponent of the Thieu-Ky group is thepopular General Huong Van Minh, and he is running on a peace and compromise platform. Were heelected, the course of events in South Vietnam could change dramatically. To be sure, there are risksinvolved with ending the American combat role within nine months. But these dangers, like the merits ofstaying on in Vietnam, are outweighed by what the war has done and is doing to Indochina and to ourown country. Everyone has paid enoughâ€”enough lives, â€¢enough taxes, enough anguish. Wespecialize in the Finest Italian Foods DXCTO'S 1 P Z Z Z A 111 E.

But now that yo.u know it'sfor keeps, it's time to stop dreaming and start learning about diamonds and their value. Because no twodiamonds are exactly alike, jewelers have adopted exacting standards to determine the relative valueof each and every diamond in the world. These standards include a diamond's size (carat weight),color, cut and clarity. Although it's important to know the facts about diamonds, you certainly don't have to be an expert to choose a Keepsake Diamond Ring . . . because Keepsake guarantees a diamondof fine white color, correct cut and perfect clarity or replacement assured. The famous Keepsakecertificate provides" permanent registration, trade-in value and protection against loss of diamonds fromthe setting. COLOR: Fine white diamonds are quite rare and valued accordingly. Other shades in relative order of their worth are: blue, yellow, brown and black. CUT: The cut of a diamondâ€”the facets placedon it by a trained cutterâ€”brings out the gem's fire and brilliance. Anything less than correct cut reduces beauty, brilliance and value. CLARITY: Determined by the absence of small impurities. A perfect diamond has no impurities when examined under ten power magnification by a trained eye. CARAT: Adiamond's size is measured in carats. As a diamond increases in size, its price will increase even moreif the quality remains constant. But larger diamonds of inferior quality may actually be worth lessthan smaller, perfect diamonds.

Cash va Campus Briefs Women and the War "We have no fight with our sisters in Vietnam," Gwyn Vorhaus, a member of the University of Washington Campus Women's Liberation, said Wednesday in a panel discussion in the Viking Union lounge. "Theforces that oppress the women in Vietnam are the same that oppress us in the United States. "We know everytime a bomb is dropped in Vietnam, a much-needed child-care center will not be built." MissVorhaus pointed out that millions of dollars are being spent on bombs and war machines while Americanwomen are forced to leave their children unattended while they work. She severely questioned PresidentNixon's priorities. "Women's Lib has been accused of being impatient," Miss Vorhaus said. "Men tell usto be moderate, but it's moderate presidents that have put us up to our necks in Vietnam. Women are not easily fooled by this double-talk." Women will be marching united for peace in San Francisco andWashington, D.C., Saturday. "We are going to shatter the great passive majority myth that exists aboutwomen," Miss Vorhaus said. The panel discussion, held in conjunction with National Peace ActionWeek, was attended by a few students. Curriculum Forum The faculty doesn't seem to comprehend thefinancial crisis facing Western, according to a member of the Curriculum Commission. ThomasSchlotterback, committee member and assistant professor of art, made the comment in Wednesday'sstudent forum on the Curriculum Report, attended by only six students. The commission was chargedwith finding better and less costly ways of running Western. The charges were brought about byindications of dissatisfaction of what was going on and the financial crisis facing the college. The fourcommittee members present said the report was just a possible suggestion of dealing with the problemsfacing the college. It was pointed out that approval of the report would implement the next step,organization of student-faculty task forces to determine the feasibility of the report. If the college doesn'tget together and make these changes the State Council on Higher Education will, Schlotterback said.The committee noted that the initial "vitriolic" response to the report has given way to more rationaldiscussion. VA Attendance Cards Failure to return the certificate of attendance in May could causedelay or loss of part of the benefits due veterans attending college under the GI Bill. The VeteransAdministration said last week that the certificate must be returned during the last full month of the regularschool yearâ€”for Western, that would be Mayâ€”or final checks will not be prepared. Veterans failing toreturn the cards this quarter will also have to re-apply next fall for benefits, while those returning the cardswill automatically be re-enrolled. Students are also reminded that they are responsible for notifying theregional VA office of any changes in address, dependents or other facts that might affect their benefits.Visiting Physicist Shang Yi Ch'en, professor of physics at the University of Oregon, will make a two-dayvisit to Western this week to talk with undergraduate students about the recent trends in physics. Ch'enwill deliver a lecture, "Recent Research Trends in Physics," at 2 p.m. Thursday in Bond Hall 105. He willspeak to the general student body at noon Friday in Bond Hall 217.

Some of the 18- people attending a FacultyCouncil forum Thursday, however, expressed doubts about the council's recommendation. The forum was held in place, of the council's regular weekly meeting, and included a panel of people who had beeninvolved in revising the Daugert Proposal. Mel Davidson, president of the Faculty Council, fielded most ofthe questions which ranged from the purpose of the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC)mentioned in the proposal to a clarification of 'constituency of administration.' Some of the pointsclarified in response to questions included: The ACC is intended to be a coordinating and review bodyover three-sub-councils: the Undergraduate Council, which would be equivalent to the present AcademicCouncil, a Graduate Council and a Research Council, which would perform the same functions as thepresent councils with those names. Davidson said: Most of the work that the Faculty Council now doesand most of the work that the students do really relates to the campus as a whole." The senate was setup with representatives from all areas to avoid duplication he said. Asked whether the Senate was goingto handle all administrative matters, Davidson said he felt there would still be student and faculty"caucuses' to handle strictly student and faculty matters. Elaborating on the plan to have governmentcentralized in one body, Davidson said: "At least you wouldn't have the president appointing committees,the Faculty Council refusing to appoint members to the president's committee, the President refusing toappoint members to the Faculty Council's committee. Committees for the central government will becentralized in one area." One member commented: "There are some changes, I'm sure, we'd like tomake at this point, but if we keep on making changes it's going to be into 1980 before we make an actual decision one way or the other." He added that he hoped changes would be made after the proposal wasvoted in. Another faculty member stated that in his mind the question was not whether the DaugertProposal is better than some perfect system, but whether it is better than the "grand scheme that wehave now." Ed Department Confident About Curriculum Report ROBIN PROBST Front ReporterWestern's Education Department holds a generally positive view toward the Curriculum Commission'sproposal on three points as stated in a report to President Charles J. Flora. The first point was that somekind of reorganizatio of Western's instructional program is overdue. Another point the department agreedon was that the report seems to imply support for the development of an inter-disciplinary approach toteacher education. Finally the education faculty members liked the innovative approach to undergraduate curriculum which is presented in the report. The academic program for an undergraduate student shouldbe directed toward broad, easily-defended and defined goals. Most faculty in the department objected tothe style of the report saying that it was too general and obscure about specific changes. It wasgenerally felt that the curriculum as it is developed should be a shared responsibility and not imposed bya small group. Herbert Hite, chairman of the Education Department concurs with Dean of Western FredKnap man's proposal that would organize the instruction program into eight concentrations, four faculties, a School of Education and the three cluster colleges. Curriculum councils could be created in each ofthe four faculties, the School of Education and the cluster colleges, Hite said. The group charged that the report did not deal adequately with the question of reduced instructional cost. Some objected toabandoning the major disciplines as the basis for college reorganization. Many believed that graduateprograms should continue to have a strong emphasis and expand rather than be reduced or abandoned.Opinions on changing from a quarter system to the 4-1-4 plan were split. Private Colleges May ReceiveState Aid for Student Tuition JIM BROOKS Front Reporter Students at private colleges for the first timein this state will receive state aid in a bill that appears headed for the lawbooks. The House passed thebill, granting tuition supplements of up to $100 for students attending private colleges, after adding acouple minor amendments to a version passed earlier by the Senate. The Senate is expected to concurwith amendments ruling out grants to theology students and limiting the program to Washingtonresidents. Rep. Marjorie Lynch (R-Yakima), chairman of the Higher Education Committee said that13,000 students would be eligible for grants from the $1.7 million appropriation. Presently, 34 states,haye sorne, form of.aid,to, students at private colleges. College President Charles Flora said that hecould understand the rationale for some aid to private colleges considering the grave financial crisis andthat several are close to bankruptcy, despite good facilities, faculty and programs. "If these colleges were to close their doors, then these students would be forced into state-supported schools," he said. "Thus, the burden would be even greater. By giving this subvention, the private colleges are not so likely toclose, thus, the state would save money." Flora said he basically supports the idea. "If by giving thismoney takes pressure off the state-supported colleges."

I've often wondered ifvomiting a few hours after taking the pill would necessitate taking another one. ANSWER: Birth controlpills are rather promptly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. A specific answer to your question isnot possible, however, because of the tremendous variation in the absorption time of gastric contents indifferent people. However, it would be safe to say that if a few hours (two or three) have gone by, theodds are rather good that the pill has been absorbed. Suspiciousness makes me wonder if the vomitingyou're concerned about might not be related to the pills. Some women do experience early morningnausea with the pill. This is particularly common during the first few months of use. It resembles themorning nausea of early pregnancy and is related to the estrogen content of the pill. It is not relateddirectly to the presence of the pill in one's stomach. Therefore, a person plagued thus can take the pillbefore going to sleep and heave to their heart's content the next morning knowing that there is nochance of losing the pill. QUESTION: I was taking pills for an infection and got drunk. The next morning I had a numb spot on my skull. The spot lasted for four days and still feels strange when I put a combthrough my hair. My hands and feet also go to sleep very easily. Is there any connection between theantibiotics, drinking and my numb skull, and should I see a doctor about this? A N S W E R : S i m p le drunkenness is usually a self-limited illness with few complications. However, in the sedated state aperson tends to remain in one position for very long periods of time. You were probably sleeping on ahard mattress (the floor?). The pressure of your head damaged the nerves of the scalp in a localizedarea resulting in the subsequent loss of sensation. Barring further injury, the sensation will reappear' over a period of weeKs as tne nerve regenerates. More serious conditions result when a person falls asleepon an arm and awakes with fairly severe total paralysis resulting from pressure on nerves or their bio oksupply. The condition described above can be experienced by normal people to a milder degree. The so-called falling asleep (hands or feet) can be related to pressure on nerves or blood vessels. People whocross their legs a lot experience this. QUESTION: When I was born, my testes didn't descend the wayit should. When I was eight years old I had to have a "testicle drop" operation. Now I learned that if theydon't descend there is a possibility that the person may be sterile. Does this mean I'm sterile? Wherecan I find out? ANSWER: When the operation is performed in early childhood, normal testicular function occurs at the onset of adolescence. It is felt that the u n d e s c e n d e d testicle in adulthood does not produce sperm because of the higher temperature in the testicle that results when that organ is inclose contact with the body. Also, an undescended testicle in adulthood has a much higher risk ofdeveloping malignancy. From what you describe you have nothing to worry about. QUESTION: I've beentrying to make yogurt but I've run into a few problems: If the yogurt comes out too thin (I've tried usingjust non-fat dried milk) is it possible to thicken it by adding more milk crystals, or does it require acertain amount of fat content in order to clabber? Is it necessary to bring the milk to a full boil beforeletting it cool enough to add the culture, or is it just that the milk must be at room temperature beforeadding the culture? How important is refrigeration after the yogurt has been made? Can I add fresh fruitor jelly immediately, or will this make the stuff spoil? What other strange and horrible things might begrowing in the culture pot if I leave it sit out overnight? ANSWER: Yogurt is one of a number of sour andfermented milk and cream products of Eastern origin. Yogurt derives its taste from the fermentation ofmilk by selected bacteria which are introduced into the milk from a previous batch of yogurt. Skimmedmilk is the starting material of choice for making yogurt. In using dry milk you would be wise to addabout 25-50 per cent more milk crystals than you would ordinarily. The fat is not necessary forclabbering to occur, as the curd is a precipitate of milk protein. M a i n t a i n i n g a proper t e m p e r a t u r e during hte procedure is crucial. You need a thermometer that registers temperature from 90 to200 degrees F. This may be hard to find, but an inexpensive darkroom thermometer available in anyphoto store will cover the lower temperature and a candy and jelly thermometer will cover the uppertemperature. The skimmed milk should not be boiled but should be brought to a temperature of 180degrees F. It is then cooled to 110 degrees F. but should not be allowed to drop below 106 degrees F. A small amount of yogurt culture or yogurt from a store-bought bottle is added to the container. Thecontainers should be kept in an insulated box (a small foam picnic chest would be fine) with eachcontainer covered with a piece of aluminum foil. Do not disturb the brew as bacteria like to work inpeace. Thickening should occur in about eight hours; you can then cap the containers and store them in the refrigerator. If thickening does not occur, it is possible that the milk was too hot at some stage andall the bacteria were killed. Also, if antibiotics were"' present in the milk as a contaminant:(unfortunately, an occasional happening) you will also be out of business. As a last resort you can trystore-bought skimmed milk instead of the powdered dry type. Refrigeration is important as the yogurtcan spoil. Fresh fruit or jelly can be added after the yogurt is chilled or before eating. If you are using adifferent method in which you leave the culture pots stand out overnight, I would suggest covering themwith a piece of foil or cheese cloth to keep mosquitos out as they can track in large amounts ofunwanted, harmful bacteria.

Two of the students required emergencytreatment at St. Luke's General Hospital and the other four were treated at the Student Health Center.Douglas Hitch, 21, a Highland Hall sophomore from Rainier, Wash., required stitches for multiplelacerations to his right hand and arm. He was treated at St. Luke's and then released. Also treated andreleased from St. Luke's was Pam Arndt, 20, 2324 Cornwall Ave., who received multiple lacerations andsuperficial burns on her right hand. Four freshmen, Julie Loveland, Fairhaven student from Kirkland; David W. Peterson, from Tacoma living in Nash Hall; Laurinda Reid, from Bothell living in Mathes Hall; andKenneth Skutt, from Seattle living in Ridgeway Kappa, were all treated at the Student Health Center forminor burns and cuts and then released. Miss Loveland said the experiment involved a chemical reaction using red phosphorus, potassium chlorine and magnesium which would produce oxygen. She said shewas about six feet from where the accident occurred when a "blinding white flash" and the explosion took place. She said sparks flew about her, then the room quickly filled with smoke. Skutt was quoted assaying the accident occurred when a spoon heated over a bunsen burner apparently ignited thepotassium setting off a chain reaction with the phosphorus. Rick Garoutte, a freshman who witnessed the accident, said campus security personnel arrived within "two or three minutes" of the explosion.Security Officer Chuck Page said the Health Center was notified immediately and the six injured students were treated by its director, Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, before Hitch and Miss Arndt were taken to St. Luke's. Mark Wicholas, assistant professor of chemistry who was teaching the class, said the the accidentwas "probably predictable, but we don't know as yet exactly what happened." He termed the cause a"freak mistake." The same experiment has been conducted hundreds of times in introductory chemistryclasses, he said. It was the first accident of such magnitude since he came to Western in 1967. StudentSurvey Reveals Poor Housing Situation ' BOB MCLAUCHLAN Front Reporter Over five per cent of about200 off-campus students polled indicated that they would drop out of school if tuition is increased $20.Craig Cole, AS Housing Commissioner, sees this increase, on top of the current high rent, as a majorproblem facing these students. "Rent is high enough now to where it is putting a financial strain on thestudent," he said. The survey also showed that 60 per cent of those polled believed that the housingsituation in Bellingham is poor, 13 per cent believed that it is critical, 27 per cent satisfactory and no one believed that it is excellent. "One thing we are seeing is a lack of responsibility by builders for what themarket needs," Cole said. Low income family housing is in drastic shape, he said. "Builders are justbeginning to awake to the critical need of marriage housing." The survey also showed these statistics: -4 0 per cent had been refused the right to rent a unit on grounds of race, religion, sex, political views,personal appearance and being a student. Art Film Series - 4 8 per cent believed that they were payingtoo much for rent, utilities . . . . â€”54 per cent believed that requiring a utility deposit was unfair.â€”Average rent per tenant is $50 a month. -$32 is average food cost per month. â€”Average age of theoff-campus student is 22 years old. â€”Students are living with an average of 3.6 other students. -Average deposit is $33 although most landlords charge $25. -Average utility cost is $13 a month perstudent. Cole also pointed out that from an economic standpoint, the more students who live off campusthe higher rents are. He said that this is because of supply and demand. The more people needinghousing, the less housing there is available and therefore landlords can charge higher rent. "What we are lacking is competition," he said. "That is why I tend to favor on-campus housing. This keeps the moneywithin the system."

In an earth week speech at Western Friday, Evans saidthat "while we have made progress in this past year, we have also seen the evangelistic fervor of theenvironmental cause of a year ago die down." "Environmental concerns today are in inverse proportion to the unemployment rate," Evans continued, stating that he feels that Washington is a microcosm of theentire nation in this respect. People who last year were concerned with the e n v i r o n m e n t - o r"Saturday and Sunday environmentalists" as he called them-are now saying on Monday "Give me a job,"according to Evans. "They equate that we can't have environmental quality and job opportunities at thesame time." Adding that he can't believe that there are people who believe this, Evans said that "living for all of us is a seven-day-a-week concern, and we should have equal concern on a seven-day-a-weekbasis for the planet on which we live." But, Evans pointed out, progress has been made in the past year.Noting that, even though last year's legislature met before Earth Day, they passed several pieces oflegislation which, in Evans' opinion, make the State of Washington a leader in the ability to cope withenvironmental problems. Progress has been made nationally, too, "in the substantially increased interestof Congress and the national administration in environmental affairs." This interest has had its effect onWashington State in the cancellation of the Super Sonic Transport (SST) contract, which has drasticallyeffected the State's economy. "There's no question," the governor said, "that it was environmentalconcern that ultimately led to the cancellation of the SST program." As for State programs, the Governornoted new laws which, in his opinion, make Washington a leader in its ability to regulate and directnuclear and other thermal power plants. Evans said pollution control requirements in the state have been not only increased, but also more strongly enforced. This increased enforcement, along with federalassistance, has been needed several times in order to get cities and industries to respond toenvironmental quality, he said. On the question of oil spills in general, and the ARCO supertankers inparticular, Evans said that, while permits have been granted to ARCO for operation in state waters, thesepermits include:1 requirements for about $9 million in pollution control measures. Because of state oilspill laws, Evans added, while a spill would be an ecological disaster, it would also be a monumentaleconomic disaster to anyone responsible. But, while praising past environmental legislation, Evans tookthe opportunity to criticize the Legislature on the state of present environmental bills. Of the 10 bills inhis executive-request package, the Governor noted, five have passed one house of the legislature, fourare still awaiting action by the house of origin, and one hasn't even moved out of its original committee.The Governor added that the chances are "very slim" that any of these bills will come to his desk forsignature during this session of the legislature. Bills in the package include a law on seacoastmanagement, a bill that would require polluters to admit they pollute, a revision of pesticide laws, a landuse bill, an environmental protection act, and a bill that would establish a fund to pay for cleaning up oilspills. Petition Attacks Penitentiary Conditions JACKIE LAWSON Front Reporter A petition protesting"deplorable conditions" in the maximum security block of the Washington State Penitentiary at WallaWalla is being circulated around campus. Western student Nancy Garrett, sophomore from Bellingham,received a letter from an imnate of the maximum security block, became concerned about his plight, andstarted the petition. The petition charges that residents of the penitentiary, presently held in maximumsecurity, should be afforded their rights as guaranteed them by the United States and Washington Stateconstitutions. Six grievances are listed, as written by five inmates in maximum security at Walla Walla: -Residents of the prison population who are detained in maximum security (isolation, segregation anddeath row) are presently being denied their right to have any legal material other than writs and appealsnotarized. -They are also being denied sufficient communication with legal counsel; no phone calls,some legal material including mail which had been sent to attorneys was never received by the attorneysto whom it was addressed. -Residents of the prison population have in the past, and are presently, beingdetained in maximum security (segregation) for indefinite sentences and under investigation. The petition states that the length of a sentence should be fixed within reasonable limits according to the infractionfor which a person is convicted. Periods of investigation should be no longer than 72 hours, according tothe petition. â€”Residents of the prison population who are on appeal and refuse to go on work details are being detained in segregation. This is contrary to the law which protects these men. â€”Residents of the prison population who are detained in segregation are being allowed unreasonably short (one hour) visitsin comparison with the general prison population visiting privileges (8 to 10 a.m. and noon to 3 p.m.).â€”These men, the petition also charges, are also being deprived of adequate medical attention. Exceptfor dire emergencies, and some life-sustaining medication nothing else is prescribed. Some men haveemotional and nervous disorders but are deprived of any form of sedatives or mood elevators. Thisdeprivation could be partly responsible for the unusually high attempted and successful suicide rate inmaximum security, according to the petition. â€”In addition, medication that is administered is handledby prison personnel who are not qualified or licensed by the state medical board. Copies of the petitionare available at the Third World Coalition literature table, and all signed petitions will be sent to a localAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) chapter today. In addition, signed petitions will be sent directly toBob Rhay, superintendent of the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla.

It was an error by SOC shortstop Bob Polski on Bobillot's infield grounder that allowed RonPorterfield to score Western's first run. Porterfield had singled with one out and advanced to third onanother one-baser by Dan Marlow. Viking relief pitcher Bub Ezell got the win.

The unanimous decision came on the motion of Dr. Ray Schwalm of the Technology Department. The new ruling becomes effective spring quarter. The PE requirementmatter was brought before the council on the recommendation of a general education sub-committeewhich argued that high schools were accomplishing the original remedial instruction goals of the classeshere at Western. According to Academic Council chairman Fred Knapman, any student who willgraduate from spring quarter on is exempt from the PE requirement. It became possible to drop therequirement since the state law holding such a requirement mandatory for college students was modifiedin the last session of the state legislature. The Front will provide an in-depth article on the requirementdrop in Tuesday's issue. Blindness-. A Handicap? By STEVE VAN DEVENTER Front ReporterSurrounded by darkness, Neil Vosburgh, 19, is going to college. Blind since birth, Neil is a music majorat Western and hopes to teach music after he graduates. You might say that the blind would be leadingthe seeing. And Neil does lead. After talking with him, the meaning of "handicapped" becomes unclearbecause Neil can't be classified as that type of person. He plays the piano, clarinet, trumpet, drums andcan turn out some mean blues on the harmonica. He also gives free guitar lessons to anyone who wantsthem. A native of Tacoma now living in Nash Hall, Neil chose Western because it had a good musicdepartment and "the people here are really friendly and they don't coddle me-well, for the most part theydon't." "There are some problems, though, especially at lunch; and don't think it's trying to get help toget the food-it's just the opposite. It seems that everybody has to help when I can do everything myself."I just want to be independent." Indeed, Neil does everything- himself. That includes walking to and fromclass. . "When I first came up here, a special mobility instructor walked over the area with me. Now allthe turns and steps I have to take are almost reflex, actions. "The only trouble is that I'm not the swiftest person, and, when I get up in the morning, I have to plan out everything I do, and sometimes I get fouledup." Neil also has many teaching aids at his disposal. He uses the braille typewriter and when he istaking notes at a lecture, he punches out the proper holes on a slate with a stylus, making a' braillemanuscript. ^ ; Tape recorders are an important facet of Neil's education. He records all of his lecturenotes on tape and next quarter he will record all of his text. books. He also uses several different typesof paper for , varying reasons. One type, used only for drawing, is made of plastic and when he marks onit with a stylus, a raised line remains. "The one problem I will be running into though, will bemathematics. "I have yet to find a way that I can represent mathematical symbols. I could write them inbraille but I would have to transpose them. "What I've always done in the past was to read off theanswers to the math teacher when no one else was around. I'd generally take the test after class orbefore." A similar problem exists when it comes to reading music when playing an instrument. Theanswer is really quite simple-for Neil, anyway. He reads over the braille music, he commits it to memoryand then he plays it. Or he can hear someone else play the piece and then he plays it entirely by ear. "Idon't consider this a handicap because it is really an aid," Neil said. "Because I am blind, I've had to usemy hearing a lot. It has sharpened my training by sharpening my conception of the variations between the different notes in music. "It's the same with people's voices. As you know, probably everybody looksdifferent and this carries over into their voices. There is some subtlety in their voice that makes themsound different. In other words, I recognize by tone, by the quality of the voice and by certain phraseswhich are peculiar to that person. "A lot of people say that they can never forget a face; well, I can neverforget a voice." Right now, Neil's main activity is just getting to know people. "I want to be acceptedamong everybody, not just my friends. I want to think of my handicap as superficial. I attend the usualcampus functions just like anyone else and I have dates just like everyone else. "I know people can'thelp but be aware of my blindness but it'll only take a matter of time till they can see that I can do manythings that they can do. "Just let them allow me to prove it." Food Stamp Rules Stiffen/ Fight LoomsFood stamp regulations are expected to tighten today as^a new action committee on campus moves toprotest what it calls "unfair treatment" of the state's poor by the Department of Public A.ssist3.n.cc Thecommittee-coordinated by Dave Berrian, a volunteer intermediary between food stamp applicants and theDPA and Tom Brose, a lecturer at Fairhaven College-plans to create a voice for persons in theBellingham community who, it charges, have been unjustly denied food stamp assistance. # ,Meanwhile, DPA officials in Olympia will make a final decision today on the adoption of controversial newregulations which would deny food stamps to anyone who shares household facilities, including stoves,food cabinets and toilets, with others. Berrian, Brose and the newly formed food stamp action committeeclaim the regulations are politically motivated to discriminate against students and other young personswho share new life styles of living with others of low income. . Furthermore, they insist that the newregulations would seriously affect migrants and elderly persons who may live together for economicpurposes. . "The poor will grow larger, not smaller, in this state in the months ahead," Brose predicted."The reason people are so up-tight over the food stamp program is because it is working We mustguarantee that it doesn't end." . At an organizational meeting at Fairhaven on Wednesday, Berrian saidhe had talked with many students at Western who needed food. "One student told me that he had somepinto beans and a little oatmeal, but he did not know bow long it would last," Berrian added. Hesuggested that anyone who had been denied food stamps should be aware of his rights under the law toappeal the denial to DPA officials in Olympia. The committee intends to publish informational literature,conduct a public meeting on Feb. 1, petition for changes m present regulations, and to bring the matter to public eyes. Brose said that if demonstrations are conducted in the future, they should not disrupt theoperations of the local DPA office. ********************* Late Breaking News The food stamp office in theViking Union will be closed on Monday and will remain so indefinitely the Department of PublicAssistance (DPA) said late Thursday. Alfred Brandt, DPA volunteer coordinator, said students who havefoodstamp appointments should keep them at the departmental offices at 222 Unity Street. He describedthe move as an experiment in which the department would attempt to see all food stamp applicants at itsdowntown office.

A recent cancer test proved negative, but I am very worried about all the talk of pill-cancercorrelation as cancer may not show up in any test. If I took the pill every other month instead of everymonth, would I substantially lessen the potential danger to myself? Would there by any change in thepill's effectiveness the month I didn't take it? Answer: By taking the pill every other month you wouldincrease the chances of pregnancy tremendously. The pill is intended to be used exactly as directed.Skipping more than one pill in a month may increase the chances of pregnancy too. There has beenabsolutely no correlation between taking the pill and developing cancer in humans. Much of the fussingabout this last year was irresponsible speculation conducted in public. Question: My roommate has read an article on cholesterol which states that one must only eat what flied, swims or grows. Therefore, sheeats no meat, butter, eggs, bread, etc. I honestly expect to find her either dead or "rubber-boned" andtoothless after a few months. What are your views on this matter? I believe people need to eat a balanced diet including a moderate amount of fats. Answer: Bread? Your absolutely frightening letter wasreceived while I was eating my usual lunch of elm bark and grasshoppers. I was so upset I didn't evenfinish my Paramecium soup. It turns out that a balanced diet is needed, but many people make theassumption that the usual American fare is balanced. In reality, our diets probably contain a vast excess of fats. For some people this makes little difference, but depending on heredity and other factors, it islikely that part of the population hastens the occlusion of their coronary arteries by the food they eat. Itis possible to eat an entirely balanced diet without ever resorting to the use of any meat (including flyingand swimming meat). Large numbers of vegetarians attest to this fact. The fats that most people try toavoid are those known as saturated fats. They are found in most types of animal fat and certain types ofvegetable fat. By using things like corn oil margarine, lean meats, skim milk and avoiding large numbersof eggs and excess amounts of fatty foods, it's rather easy to cut down considerably on fat intake. There is no reason to think that one would turn rubber-boned or become toothless. I side with your roommatein this matter. For further information on low fat diets write to: The American Heart. Association, 44 E.23rd St., New York, N.Y. 10010. Question: Whenever I stand up within 15 minutes after havingintercourse, I get a pain in my testicles which sometimes generalizes to the entire pubic area and whichmay persist for several hours. It is sometimes reduced by having multiple successive orgasms, andalways by staying down a while, the longer the better. Is this a symptom of some disorder? My ratherprudish family doctor simply told me not to worry about it and refused to give an explanation. Answer:Sexual excitement in the man is accompanied by testicular enlargement. A substantial buildup ofpressure can result because the testicle itself is covered with a not too stretchable membrane. Painfulsituations usually develop with prolonged sexual excitement without the relief of orgasm. A number ofslang expressions exist to describe this situation, but I hesitate to use any of them in print! From whatyou describe, it is likely that you are in a state of sexual excitement for a considerable time beforeorgasm occurs. You may as well enjoy the multiple successive orgasms while you're capable of them. In the animal kingdom, it is said that the hunted have intercourse hastily to avoid being caught in the actand being destroyed. Hopefully, you are not in the same situation and you could stay down a while. Now that you have an explanation, don't worry about it. City May Face Court The City of Bellingham hasbeen threatened with court action if it fails to improve animal pound conditions. State Humane OfficerRobert Holland has been fighting the city for several months over the fact that its pound is too small.Holland, who has been titled "a college professor with a badge" by the local newspaper, is quick to saythat he is actually a science technician at Western and volunteers his time to the humane society. Heis deputized to enforce state humane laws throughout the state. The "Notice of Violation" was served atthe city comptroller's office Monday morning and was passed on to the city council Monday night. In the city's first serious look at the situation, Eldridge Carr, c o u n c i l p o l i c e â€”license committeechairman, said that "it is a serious matter and that we should consider it as such." The city councilpassed the "notice" and the entire situation over to Carr's committee. The "notice" given to the city said: "Bellingham city pound is not of adequate size to provide space for animals confined there. Your failureto correct this situation will result in court action." Holland is hoping that he can raise enough publicinterest to pressure the city into improving the pound conditions and avoid the suit.' Judge Lee BeginsLeveling Fines By MICKEY HULL Front Reporter Bellingham Municipal Court Judge Leslie A. Lee isleveling penalties against violators of the two-hour parking restriction in the college area. Lee said thatparking control in the college area is legal and added that he will judge every case on its own merits.Bellingham Police Chief Cecil Klein couldn't predict how many people have taken their citations to courtand Lee was unsure because he just took over from Judge Jack Kurtz. Klein has been upset with Kurtzfor finding violators guilty and then suspending the fine. The chief expressed hope that Lee would followthe tickets with a fine. Lee said he didn't feel Kurtz was suspending all penalties as Klein said. Theparking restriction was MECHA NEWSLETTER COMING OUT TODAY MECHA, the Mexican-American club at Western, is planning to publish its first newsletter today according to editor FrankIvarra. Ivarra said the newsletter's objective is to keep the Mexicans in Whatcom County informed onwhat's happening nationally and locally. He said half of the letter will be written in Spanish. The firstedition will include an introduction outlining the intent of the letter and the first of a series by FranciscoG.

The approval of college PresidentCharles Flora and the Board of Trustees is the final needed step before a complaint is filed against theSanwick Corporation, Sudden Valley's developers. The legislature unanimously supported proceedingwith legal action and placed $2,000 from the legal aids budget in a trust account to set up a foundationfor expenses incurred by a suit. The legislature also asked that John Miller, Seattle attorney, beappointed to represent the college if a complaint is filed. AS President Steve Cooper submitted theSudden Valley bill last week and spoke for the bill at Tuesday's'legislature meeting. In presenting the bill, Cooper said that three things must be done before President Flora would consider approving a legalbattle. Cooper said Flora wanted ratification from the executive and legislative branches of ASgovernment and a consideration of expenses so that the college would not have to bear the entirefinancial burden of a court fight. Cooper's bill met all three of these requests. "I hope there will be somelegal action," Cooper said, "and this bill will kick it off." He said that the members of the Board ofTrustees would be polled informally after Flora had made a decision. Flora said yesterday that he hadnot heard from either the legislature or Cooper, and wtould not make any consideration until he did hearfrom them. Dean of Students Bill McDonald said that Assistant A t t y . Gen. Ken Gross recommendedthe college, and not an arm of the college such as the AS, initiate action if it was decided to file thecomplaint. A letter from Gross said that Western had "justifiable" grounds to file. Western WashingtonState College, on behalf of the Associated Students of Western Washington State College, would bethe plaintiff, McDonald said. The AS complains that the airport and marina development being done bySudden Valley is d a m a g i n g to Western's Lakewood property on Lake Whatcom. A report fromattorney Miller said that the development is probably in violation of several federal and state lawscovering environment, property damage and nuisance. Student environmentalist Ted Boss claimed thatdredging and filling done near the marina site "has turned out recreation area into a mudhole." Legalaction would at least provide an injunction to stop all building and development at Sudden Valley untilWestern's arguments could be presented before the courts, Cooper said. Indian Students Unite onCampus The American Indian Students Union (AISU) of Western has finally established itself as a clubon campus. "Our entire group is dissatisfied with the status of the Indian on campus," President Bernard Thomas said. "We can see a way of making change. Why won't you let us?" One of the AISU's basicpurposes is to provide a place where Indians can identify with Indians, according to Thomas. Anestimated 60 to 80 Indian students are enrolled at Western, but his group has only been able to contacttwenty-eight. "Now that we have an office (VU 215), we have a way of letting the rest of the studentsknow where we are," he said. Thomas, a Lummi from the Bellingham area, was brought up on areservation. He explained that this allowed him to see a need for the preservation of Indian culture, but at the same time, a change in economics. One of the economic aims of the group is to set up arecruitment for Indians; getting them into schools and educated so they can go back to their variousIndian communities and help out in any way they can. "We want to preserve our I-ndian-ness through our education, and increase the knowledge of our own culture," Thomas said. Members of the AISU nowrepresent several Northwest Indian tribes, including Lummi, Colville, La Conner, Snohomish, Suquamishand others. Also represented are Algonquian, Blackfoot, Hopi and Sioux tribes. "We want tocommunicate and be as open as possible," Thomas said. "If any concerned non-Indians want to cometoour meetings, they're welcome," he continued. Thomas quoted a recent television special entitled"Tribes," which he felt was relevant to the purpose for the AISU: "We may be all from different tribes, butwhy can't we get together and talk?" Current AISU plans include t h e s p o n s o r s h i p of apresentation by the White Roots of Peace, an Indian multi-media tour group, Jan. 29. By JIM AUSTINFront Reporter College President Charles J. Flora said Tuesday that budget cuts recommended by Gov.Daniel J. Evans "dangerously affect our program of instruction." T h e g o v e r n o r 's recommendationshave been sent to the Legislature and could result in a decrease of some $2 million from the budget forthe biennium ending June 30, Flora said. Budgetary cuts have been recommended in every area, Florasaid, but travel, library acquisitions and instructional equipment budgets have been reducedsubstantially. Evans earlier this month recommended that the budget for faculty travel be reduced from$131,537 for the 1970-71' academic year to $50,000 for the coming year. The library budget wasreduced from $311,636 for this year to $167,100 for 1971-72, Flora said. "Thus far we are not obliged tofollow the letter of the budget," he said. "We can transfer some money from one area to another, aslong as we don't get too carried away." Pending legislation, however, could remove the flexibility given to the colleges. House Bill 151, if passed, would require that the colleges adhere strictly to the budgetunless given express permission from the legislature, Flora said. A bill to increase tuition and fees at the state colleges and universities was being drafted earlier this week for submission to the legislativebudget committees, Flora said. The exact amount of increase involved has not yet been disclosed.Flora pledged to oppose an amendment that would virtually put the responsibility for tuition increaseswith the colleges rather than the Legislature. Under current legislation, the state colleges can charge amaximum of $360 per student per quarter. The amendment would change the words "not more than" to"not less than" and the Legislature would set the minimum. Flora said the amendment would make itpossible for. the legislature to tell the colleges that an increase in the budget would have to comethrough a tuition and fees hike imposed by the college. "The Legislature should stay in a position tobecome involved in any tuition increase," Flora said. He said he does not think the Legislature will passState Sen. Sam Guess' campus unrest bill. "We just don't need any more of that type legislation. "Ifthey (the legislators) d o n ' t trus the college administrators, they should replace them with ones theydo trust, but you can't run a college from any legislative committee," Flora said. War Declared OnSanwick; Peace With Vietnamese Students The AS Legislature declared war against the SanwickCorporation, developers of Sudden Valley, and declared peace with the students of North and SouthVietnam in unanimously passing two bills Tuesday. Bill W-3, dealing with Sudden Valley, passed withlittle debate. One of the largest galleries of the year was present to support the bill's passage. The billformalizes the Legislature's approval to proceed with legal action against the Sudden Valley developmentand places $2,000 of legal aids money in a trust account to underwrite the cost of legal action. Anamendment to the bill will hire John Miller, a Seattle attorney, to represent the AS in court. Bill W-14ratified a peace proposal drawn up by the U.S. National Students Association asking for "immediate andtotal withdrawal" of all U.S. troops from Vietnam and an immediate cease fire. The treaty resulted from ameeting in Hanoi between student leaders of North and South Vietnam and the United States. Bill W-14ratified a peace proposal drawn up by the U.S. National Students Association asking for "immediate andtotal withdrawal" of all U.S. troops from Vietnam and an immediate cease fire. The treaty resulted from ameeting in Hanoi between student leaders of North and South Vietnam and the United States. "Be itknown that the American and the Vietnamese people are not enemies," the document says. "The war iscarried out in the names of the people of the United States and South Vietnam, but without theirconsent." It asks that the Vietnamese pledge a provisional coalition government set up throughdemocratic elections, provides for the release of political prisoners and prisoners-of-war on both sides and promises adherance to the 1954 and 1962 Geneva Conventions. Speaker Bert Halprin announced that a National Student Association Conference will he held Feb. 5-7 to act on the treaty. i Legislator MaryWatts advised that tile proposal had received commendation from several prestigious publicationsincluding the Wall Street Journal and the Christian Science Monitor. Commenting on the proposal, ASPresident Steve Cooper said it was a nice "gesture," but that he did not favor an immediate withdrawal of troops for "practical; political reasons." The Legislature tabled indefinitely a bill submitted last weekbecause it is "probably illegal." The bill would have bought 250 shares in the Bellingham Food Co-op.Dean of Students Bill" McDonald said that state money provided by students' fees could not underwritean existing business.

SODT "And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that year, said unto them, YEKNOW NOTHING AT ALL, nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not." (John 11:50) Christians these days can look back at those wordsin comfortable approval, sure that it was God's plan, and that Jesus went gladly to his death. Maybe they forget his prayer of agony in the Garden of Gethsemane before it happened. Laying down one's life for his brothers is never easy, whether it's physical, spiritual, or political. As early as 1945, the West, includingthe United States, set in motion forces in Vietnam which were to produce in" the long run a lot of chances to do it. There's been a lot of agony sinceâ€” 50,000 Americans are deadâ€”and that's just a jot in thereckoning. JFK had his agony. Gerald Clarke, TIME, writing in the New Republic (Jan. 16, p. 14) saysthat in 1963 JFK told Kenneth O'Donnell and Mike Mansfield that he planned to leave Vietnam, "but I can't do it until 1965-after I'm reelected." An earlier withdrawal would have raised, in O'Donnell's words, "aconservative outcry against returning him to the presidency for a second term." "So, reelection waseverything, and nothing could be done for at least a year and a half, and perhaps two and a half years. Isit altogether naive to wonder, if just a little, at such a cavalier attitude toward the lives of nearly 17,000men?" (Clarke) . Lyndon Johnson also wrestled. He has been quoted as saying that he was not going tobe the first President who let his country' lose a war. His poker playing instincts led him to keep raisingthe ante with Ho, sure that he could out-bluff him with weapons and men from the West. John Roche,Johnson's resident intellectual, keeps saying that it had to be done, lest a sign of weakness let loose inthe United States a tide of right wing revolution and military coups, which would destroy our democracy.Richard Nixon's celebrated plan for 'winding down the war' appears to be an equally cynical scheme to 'letthe people know nothing at all' by obfuscating and misleading us into believing that it's all about to stop.Two things we can be sure about are (1) that we don't know much about what is really happening inSoutheast Asia, and (2) that the administration knows a lot more about us than we can imagine. Nixon'sgame plan could work very well, except for loud vocal and political dissent. So, dissent has to bestopped. Do it with guns, at Kent State and Jackson. Do it with a political campaign in 1970. Do it through the courts. First: Coffin, Spock, et al. Second: the Chicago Eight. Third: the Seattle Seven. Fourth: theBerrigans. Then: a larger group of priests, nuns, teachers and others now indicted for allegedly talkingabout 'violent' acts. In 1,2, 3, and 4, overt acts could apparently be cited. But now there's just'conspiracy' to let the people know something. A conspiracy ferreted out by snooping, harassment, andwho knows what. Have we taken the final step to Nosy Crucifixion, because it's expedient? Saw a newbumper sticker last week: I FOUND REAL PEACE-WITH JESUS! Good! So did I, a long time ago. But itgot complicated when I saw that my bombs and napalm were falling in Vietnam on other Christians,among others, who had found the same peace. That's LOVE? ---------- Western Front - 1971 January 22 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, January 22, 1971 Western Front 5 J-Bocrrcf Busy Women's Liberation By LIBBY BRADSHAWWomen's Freedom Brigade, Bellingham The belief that the Women's Liberation Movement is a hatecampaign to castrate men has created much resistance and resentment towards people who areextremely concerned with bettering our society. The propagation by the television and advertising mediaas well as the perpetuation of patterns indigenous to our culture have created the myth that crazy, sex-starved, fanatical females are on a hate trip against men. Not only is this a prostitution of a just andhumane cause, but it is a false premise which could have a disastrous effect on human lives. The intentof women to dominate, exploit, manipulate and attack those of the opposite sex, thus turn the coin to itsother side, is nonsensical propaganda, a destructive lie which must be refuted. Refutation is a difficulttask, but nevertheless, one which must be confronted. It is our sincere hope that issues and problemsweighing so heavily upon us can be confronted and dealt with intelligently by the mass of peopleinterested in expanding their knowledge of events occurring in a world where war, poverty, misery andfamine are daily routine. Since the transition from primitive communal living, which was based onequalitarianism necessary for the survival of humanity to the supposedly more civilized organization ofprivate property, the 'prevalence of an attitude degrading and oppressive to women emerged, an attitudenecessary to the continuance and continuity of a patriarchal society. Expansion and elaboration on thisparticular topic will lead most certainly to a lengthy dissertation; therefore, it will be saved for anothertime and place since theorization is not necessarily the purpose of this column. It is mentioned however,because of disapproval and disgust with patriarchy by the new feminists and serves as a basis for one ofthe main topics of discussion in women's meetings. â€¢ â€”Letters To The Editor The cultural attitudesingrained so deeply in the very guts of every_ woman have conditioned us to look upon each other withdistrust, dislike and often loathsome contempt. Such conditioning of women to compete with oneanother for the attention and favors of men has separated and alienated housewives, secretaries,professionals, welfare and working women and especially Blacks and Whites. The Women's LiberationMovement has done much to break through this barrier. Through consciousness-raising groups, a newrespect is developing and sincere love of each other as equal human beings, regardless of class, race oreconomic status. Autonomous women's groups have sprung up all over the country. Women from everysocio-economic class are banding together to form collectives, caucuses and centers necessitated bythe vast gap in communication among "ladies." These groups are created for various reasons: social,political, therapeutic and perhaps for some because it caught on and became a fad, the "in" thing to do.But whatever the motivation, whatever the definition or basis for the existence of such gatherings, there is ultimately one goal: sisterhood.

Editor: Concerning your article aboutmiddle school students who are being "rewarded" with "funny money,": such a program is highly immoral and not worthy of participation by the students and faculty of Western. When these "children" grow up, they are not going to be "rewarded" every time they do something hard. The directors of this programare not encouraging self-motivation, they are encouraging greed. Greed is the major cause of war and its evil effects. So why are we encouraging it in our schools? The reward system is highly successful-withanimals. Dog trainers swear by it. Did the directors of this "research" program ask the parents of thestudents involved for permission to use their children as guinea pigs? I came to Western to learn to be a teacher, not to contribute to the moral decay of this country. If this is a sample of the ways I will beasked to "motivate" my students, I will be forced to change either my vocation or the school I attend. Idon't want to do either, but at this moment I am ashamed of Western's education department. CathyParks freshman Editor: Many people seemed to be concerned about the safety and rights of the Jewsin the Soviet Union. They are concerned about the harsh penalties placed upon some of them for tryingto hijack a plane to Israel. They are even going to the extreme of saying that they should be freedbecause they were fighting for their rights as humans. Surprisingly enough, these are the same peoplethat condemned the Palestinians for their hijackings because by doing so they endangered the lives ofothers. They did not agree with the Palestinians' logic for performing such an act. Well, if those peoplebelieve that the Jews in Russia are oppressed and have the right to dissent, and they don't agree withthe Palestinians' demands for freedom and justice, they are half blind and should start opening the othereye for a change. There points I here: are two important would like to make 1) The Palestinian people have seen a lot more injustice, and have suffered more at the hands of the Israelis than the Jews have at the hands .of the Russians. As a matter of fact, they have seen just about as much torment as theJews during the Third Reich. But nobody seems to realize that. 2) If we want to end hijackings becausewe don't believe that it is a right approach to express opinions, let's not try and fight it only when thePalestinian "terrorists" in the Middle East do it, but also when it's done by the "poor and picked-upon"Jews in the Soviet Union.

DoctorWorked for Blacks Monday, January 18 was the birthday of Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, Black surgeonwho performed the first successful heart operation. Dr. Williams was born in 1856 the fifth child ofDaniel Hale Williams Jr. and Sarah Price. Because of the German and Indian blood in the family most of the children took up living as whites, but Daniel refused even though his appearance showed him to beWhite. Dr. Williams worked all his life for Black causes. His father died when he was 11, and for the next 16 years he was barely able to escape the clutches of poverty. During this time he became a bargerand as an apprenticed medical student then went on to C h i c a g o Medical at Northwestern University. At 27, Dr. Williams started living the life of an established physician slowly becoming famous for hisoperative techniques. Soon Dr. Williams became tired of seeing young Black medical students beingturned away from hospital affiliations. Black girls also were refused entrance to nursing schools so hedecided it was time for an i n t e r r a c i a l hospital. So singlehanded Dr. Williams started andcampaigned for the later established Provident Hospital in Chicago. In 1893 he performed his nowfamous first heart operation on a injured expressman, James Cornish. Dr. Williams went on to head theFreedman Hospital in Washington D.C. In 1898 Dr. Williams married Alice Johnson, and returned toProvident Hospital. He had a disagreement with other medical people and resigned from the hospital.

Instead they are tentativeabstractions, plus gleanings from trade publications. In a brief view of 1970, we got the movie andsoundtrack from Woodstock and we lost Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Looking ahead, there may beanother Woodstock album and there are new records available with Hendrix and Joplin. PEARL, onColumbia is the record Joplin was working on at the time of her OD. 'LG-FM has played a few cuts and itsounds very good. A new Hendrix cut is available from Warner Brothers. It's included in their latestsampler titled NON DAIRY CREAMER' Other samplers are also available, some of it is not suitable forairplay. You can still get SONGBOOK, RECORD SHOW and THE BIG BALL. Each of these has twolp's, price is two dollars. I just sent for NON DAIRY, which is one dollar, and am waiting for LOONEYTUNES AND MERRY MELODIES-it's three dollars. Send Warners 10 bucks and you can get all 10 r e c o r d s . . . be sure to include on your order instructions not to send SCHLAGERS, another of theirsamplers which is more in the pop vein and includes Frank Sinatra. I have nothing against Sinatra except he doesn't seem to fit any mood I have been in during the past three years. On second thought, goahead and send them 12 dollars and you might agree with me. Address is Warner Bros. Records,Burbank, Calif. 91505. I have not received any payola or remuneration from WB nor do I expect to.However, I will confess to have fallen in love with their ad copy, which stands out like flowers on a manure pile. Take a look at a copy of Billboard, Record World or Warners' slip sheets and compare it with othercompanies' hype. A few' lines ago I used the phrase 'not suitable for airplay.' A flash from FiresignTheater. They have three albums out, WAITING FOR THE! ELECTRICIAN OR SOMEONE LIKE HIM;HOW CAN YOU BE IN TWO PLACES AT ONCE WHEN YOU'RE NOT ANYWHERE AT ALL; and DON'T CRUSH THAT DWARF, HAND ME THE PLIERS. The latter is the easiest to listen to, even during the30th playing I still hear new lines. Without getting into superlatives all three albums have my highestendorsement, 'thoroughly enjoyable.' If you get a chance, listen to them; it's doubtful you will hear themon U.S. radio stations. Those stations that do play it run a great risk of punitive action from the FCC, soif you see them in a store, buy 'em. The last bit for Firesign this week: they are looking for backers withmoney for a movie, The Big Suitcase of 1969. Getting back to present and future releases: Dave Masonin March on Blue Thumb. His ALONE, TOGETHER, is a triple lovely, good jacket packaging, good sound and a record that is fun to watch. Poco, LIVE AT THE FELT FORUM, is now out on Epic. Euphoriarecords has a release of the ORIGINAL JAMES TAYLOR AND THE FLYING MACHINE. Quite often withhis first efforts a performer bombs; the artist splits to a different label, gets a hit, then his first company,in a fit parsimonious frenzy, releases some old tapes that they have had in storage, not usually aperformer's best work. We will have to wait and listen-maybe Euphoria has some good stuff. A goodexample is the first Moody Blues, GO NOW, which is far removed from their last six albums, but for funyou can listen to the changes that the group as individuals and performers have gone through. ChicagoTransit Authority has a new double album on Columbia. And finally, Buck Owens has a new album,BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS. My grandmother used to tell me, everyday we should tosomething we don't like. . . the reference to BO was my thing for the day. Of the records I have listenedto recently I liked FOTHERINGAY on A M, CLASSIC RUSH on Elecktra, David Lannan STREETSINGER on San Francisco (thanks to Bill Dwyer for turning me on to this one; he runs Puget Sounds),Sally Eaton FAREWELL AMERICAN TOUR on Paramount, and Grade Fields on Point Records. Ifsomeone understands what Frank Zappa has been doing on his last three records, I wish they would getin touch with me c/o the Western Front. In future columns I'll relate my discoveries in the field of recordmerchandising (after cleaning out barns twice a day for three years, I think I am qualified).

Faculty Art Show Ends Today O n e of the most "controversial"faculty art shows ends today in the Western Gallery of the Arts Building. David Marsh, chairman of theArt Department, said, "I know i t ' s one of the most controversial, because I'm the one that gets most ofthe feedback. "Many people have doubted the quality of the work. Some people also have questionedthe morality of the works," Marsh said. Marsh said that most of the complaints have come from facultymembers. Marsh added VETS OVERPAID? Veterans who received a full VA check for December werenot overpaid, Veterans Affairs Director Lorraine McGaw said Monday. She said she had receivednumerous queries regarding payment of benefits during vacation periods. C h r i s t m a s and springvacations are paid for as through school was in session, she said. The only reason checks would not befull for the vacation periods is if the student graduates at the end of the quarter or changes schools at the end of the quarter, Mrs. McGaw said. "Of course there are always complaints on every art show." TheArt show, despite the bad feedback, has received some praise. "Some people have thought that this isone of the most professional art shows ever," Marsh said. "Some people have said that there is lots ofinnovation which makes this art show very exciting," Marsh said. There are several art works for sale.One of the most expensive works is "Another Leader," an assemblage created by art professor R. AllanJensen. Jensen's 78"x54" assemblage sells for $1,500. J e n s e n has a n o t h er assemblage whichcosts $800, called "The Artist and His Model." "The Artist and His Model" was also one of the mostcontroversial works. That is, it was controversial until a part of the work became decapitated. A chickenwas originally a part of the work, but it became ill so Jensen had to take it home. The reason why this p a r t i c u l a r work was controversial was "that some people doubted that the chicken should really bea part of the work," Marsh said. On last report the chicken was making a fast recovery. * * * In 1360B.C., Ikhnaton i n t r o d u c e d monotheistic worship of Aten, or sun, in E g y p t .

Simon and Schuster, 1970, 224 pp. By BOB HICKS A while ago Billie had animpromptu after-the-bars-close party at her place and we got to talking, as ex-English majors will, aboutThe Great American Novel. Billie said it would have to be written by a woman and \ said that could wellbe, but she would have to be a Southerner too because the South is still our biggest subculture and youhave to understand the South to understand America. Well, Patricia Browning Griffith is a woman and aSoutherner, but her novel "The Future is Not What it Used to Be" is not The Great American Novel. It'sdamn good, though; one of the best new books I've read in a great while. "Future" is the story of amodern suicide, of a woman grown inward in the face of what she considers a dead-end future: the Bomb, racial tensions, political hypocrisy, the deadening concrete violence of the American city, the increasingimpossibility of any human to dictate the path of his or her own life. It's real. The things that cause Sunny Tidwell to kill herself are the pressures, inconsistencies and conformities of present-day technologicalmass society. You've felt the same things. I've felt them. The future, indeed, is not what it used to be.Sunny is only one of millions of young people who feel the future will bring the collapse-screeching ormaybe just sighingâ€”of the most complex culture man has ever known. And she wants out before ithappens. The story is set in Washington, D.C., before and during the King assassination rioting. Insearch of understanding, Sunny, daughter of a Texas representative, sheds the security of daddy's money and bright-but-unthinking young boyfriend's love to move alone to the middle of the Black ghetto. Shefinds a modicum of understanding, but what she understands she cannot accept. Her epitaph-and that of. countless others lost in the grindings of mechanical America-might well be "People, people everywhere,and nary a soul to love." In addition to being psychologically and sociologically perceptive, Miss Griffith is an accomplished craftsman. Like many other Southerners, she writes with her tongue, always makingcertain she is telling a story; always tied to the poetic oral tradition of tale-telling. In a few isolated casesshe overwrites; better editing could have erased the problem. The book alternates between third and firstperson, and this, believe it or not, is rather effective. "The Future is Not What it Used to Be" will depressthe hell out of you. And, because it's so well witter, you'll enjoy every minute of it.

Divers Take Icy Dip By STEVEJOHNSTON Feature Editor Gary Smith, a sophomore at Huxley College, was walking along the otherside of the ice at Silver Lake last weekend when he fell UP through a hole. G e n e r a l l y Smith doesn't make a practice of defying gravity, but in this case up was down and down was up . . . or somethinglike that. Smith, Sherman Bronsink a n d B r u c e Merrick, all sophomores at Western and members of the Viking Sounders diving club, spent last Sunday scuba diving under the ice at Silver Lake. Merricksaid it was like, diving in a house; the ice was the floor and the lake's bottom was the ceiling. "Our wetsuits kept us b u o y a n t and weightless," Merrick explained. "We were walking on the b o t t om of the ice upside down, if you know what I mean." The more Merrick tried to explain what it felt like, the more confusing it became. "Well, I guess you would just have to be there to understand i t , " he finally said.Merrick, Bronsink and Smith dreamed up the idea to go ice diving two weeks ago. Generally the scubadivers do most of their diving at Chuckanut Bay and other open water spots, but this last weekend theydecided to try something different. . "We've never done anything like this before, so we went out to thelake, cut a hole in the ice and went for a swim," Merrick said. But it was not all fun and games for thedivers; the temperature was 33 degrees above ice, 35 degrees in the water, and the ice was about fiveinches thick. And there is a constant danger involved. If one of the divers loses the life line leading backto the hole, he "won't be found until next spring," Merrick said. " A l s o the light coming through the icecan mix you u p , " Merrick said. "First the light comes through the ice, then through the water andfinally through your face mask. It makes you think you're standing on a sphere." Merrick said when helooked .back at the hole in the ice, it After only three months of operation, Huxley College is fast b e c o m i n g a c o n t r o v e r s i al ecological enterprise. Huxley's plans and projects for the future point thisout, and it all blends in with Dean Miller's d e s c r i p t i o n of the school's philosophy: "It's not that alls t u d e n t s follow a strict vocational plan, but that every student develop a policy of inquiry." Huxleywill accept grants from industry for research, but t h e y must have scientific freedom to publish theresults. They have proposed s study with INTALCO on the effects of fluorides in Bellingham Bay, andare also interested in studying Sudden Valley as an ecological relationship between the human c o m mu n i t y and the environment. appeared to be beyond the horizon, but could still be seen. The threedivers spent about 40 minutes each under the ice with one always staying above surface just in casethere was trouble below. Greg Stock was the line tender. "Actually I couldn't tell any â€¢ difference from standing up the right way," Merrick said. One time Merrick slipped on the icy underside and fell up with his air bubbles streaming down his chest like a long beard. All three divers know what they are doingand are pool i n s t r u c t o r s for the Viking Sounders. Smith, the club's president, has been diving forover 11 years and Merrick has been a diver for seven years. The Sounders is a school organizationwhich meets every Wednesday night at the Western gym pool. The next outing scheduled for theSounders is this Sunday at the Keystone Jetty on Whidbey Island where they will hold graduationexercises for the new members. The weekend of Feb. 13-15 the Sounders will travel up to Powell Riverin Canada to do some deep diving. Focus: Selling Arms to Africans ? By SUSAN GAWRYS FrontReporter Britain is in a quandry today. Commonwealth prime ministers are meeting in Singapore and thehot question is whether Britain should sell arms to South Africa. David Ziegler, assistant professor ofpolitical science, explained that the situation is more complex than it appears on the surface. S e v e ra l black African Commonwealth nations are threatening to walk out on the conference if Britain goesahead with the proposed sale of anti-submarine detectors, Ziegler said. T h e action might beinterpreted as a gesture of worldwide approval of the policies of South Africa, he said. "South Africa isthe devil and anybody who does anything with the devil is bad," he said to illustrate the black nations'fears. But Britain wants to sell the arms because it fears a Russian naval buildup in the Mideast, hesaid. The Russians have shown interest in expanding their naval p o w e r , which was never especiallystrong. Ziegler said that theories of why the Russians are in the Indian Ocean center around the Arabsheikdoms in the Mideast. These sheikdoms are rich with oil and the Russians might be handily aroundin time to assist with a coup d'etat, he said. " N o b o d y expects any Russian threat until 1975,"Ziegler said, but the British want to make sure that they are around to help out, too. He said that theRussians are taking risks, such as supplying Egypt with more equipment than they gave North Vietnam. Britain, at this time, cannot afford to buy expensive arms to guard against the potential Russian threat,he said. So, by selling the arms to South Africa, Britain can both guard the seas and make money.South Africa would welcome the anti-submarine detectors, b e c a u s e , as Ziegler said, "They're a little paranoid about submarines-maybe a saboteur." France sells arms to South Africa and doesn't have the qualms that bother Britain, he said. This is because, he said, world opinion is more important to Britain, especially the opinion of Commonwealth countries. The United States, to this point, has not beeninterested in selling arms to South Africa. This, according to Ziegler, is following the "Nixon doctrine" ofletting other countries conduct their own business. Ziegler said that Britain should consider the opinionsof t h e other African nations, whether there is a real threat to the oil sheikdoms and if they can afford to keep a navy, before they sell the arms.

A spring instructional lab is planned for students interested in marine sciences. C o n s t r u c t i o n of the N o r t h w e s t E n v i r o n m e n t al Studies Center will begin this May.

Next fallHuxley will offer an e n v i r o n m e n t a l e d u c a t i on program through the cooperative e f f o r t s ofthe Northwest Environmental Education Center and the Education Department of Western. Its aim will be to become more than just another concentration in education, but to incorporate environmental aspects into all areas of study, Miller said. H u x l e y presently claims about 80 full-time students, but theprojected enrollment for next fall includes 175 new students. The faculty will also be enlarged to includea cultural anthropologist teaching social concern and a political scientist teaching environmental law.Students of Western may not take Huxley courses as electives.

Thomas, who also pulled down 10 rebounds, broke a 25-25 halftimedeadlock with field goals to begin the second half and send the Vikings on the way to their 10th victoryagainst 4 defeats. The win also put Western's Evergreen Conference record at 3-1. Western alsoreceived a fine scoring effort from guard Neal Larson. The Viking captain put through 15 points, whilemaking 8 steals and grabbing off 7 rebounds. Larson's hot-shooting got the Vikings off to a fast startand 15-7 lead at 13:11 of the first half. The Mountaineers bounced back on the fine play of 6-8 centerGail Enright to knot the score at 17-17 with 7:47 remaining. Little Terry Brower put the Vikings in frontagain 19-17, but with 1:35 left Eastern guard Clarence Cowapoo potted a field goal to tie the game again23-23. Moments later another field goal by guard Jim Archer gave the Mounties their only lead of thenight, 25-23. That was quickly erased by a Mike Franza basket at the halftime buzzer. Thomas thenwent on a Photo By BILL KALENIUS Gary White directs his gaze upward to see if the ball dropsthrough. He leads Western scoring with a 142 average. White Jumps Into Basketball With Both Feet;Leads Scoring By PAUL MADISON Front Reporter Though all members of Western's basketball squadhave a large part of their lives wrapped up in the game, no one has a more sincere love and dedicationto it than Gary White. Such devotion goes far beyond the confines of the court. On close observationone can spot the ankle weights White wears as he walks around campus. He feels they help hisjumping, an ability that is possibly his greatest single physical asset as a player. White's daily schedule also revolves around the game. This is especially so on game day when he prepares himself to be at his peak, both mentally and physically, at game's start. Due to this preparation and his great ability Garyhas become the Viking's most consistent performer, leading the team in scoring and rebounding andranking high in all other statistical categories. White came to Western from Fort Steilacoom Community College. There last season he led t h e state's CC loop in rebounding, despite weighing only 190 pounds and standing 6-4. V i k i n g mentor Chuck Randall first saw White perform at the Community CollegeState Tournament last winter. The effort and talent White displayed i m p r e s s e d Randall, whoimmediately tabbed him a must in the Western fold if the Vikings were to bounce back from last year's12-11 record. Thus Randall picked White to recruit over his out-standing teammate, guard Bob Webb. Itwas later learned that Webb was lured to U.C.L.A. by coach John Wooden, where he is expected tostart next year after red-shirting this season. When queried on his selection, Randall will quickly tell you that Western got the best of the deal. "White is just coming into his own as a great ballplayer," statesRandall. "His capacity to improve is without bounds." As a forward White not only makes use of hisfantastic one-on-one ability, but his passing as well. This is because the forward in Western's pattern o f f e n s e is actually the quarterback and not the. guard. If the East St. Louis junior has any weakness, it may be defense. But here his quickness and jumping ability help him overcome most mistakes hemight make. Prior to coming to Western, defense had never been stressed to Gary. Thus Randall hasbeen particularly pleased with the great progress White has made in this phase of the game. Randall isalso impressed by what he terms White's "floor sense." "Gary seems to know instinctively when to slowthe tempo of the game down and when to speed things up." But White adds still another phase toWestern basketball, one it has never possessed before. It is the anticipation he arouses in a crowd, be it for a possible dunk shot, the checking of an o p p o n e n t ' s shot, or an unbelievable pass. Suchqualities make White invaluable to the Big Blue. Above all, though, it is his dedication and the inspiringof it in others that makes White an even greater addition. Such an attitude naturally leads to winning.White's philosophy is best summed up in his comment on free throw shooting, "I don't expect to missone." F o r w a r d Gary White continues to lead the Viking basketball team in practically everystatistical category. The 6-4 junior has scored 199 points, a 14.2 average, and has grabbed off 134rebounds, a 9.6 average. White also leads in field goal shooting with a 50.7 percentage and is a closesecond to guard Neal Larson in free throw accuracy with an 82.5 mark. rampage that saw him score 15points in the second half. At one point the Vikings led by as much as 14 points, 52-38, with 7:25 left inthe game. Eastern Oregon mounted a comeback with 6-6 Emory Moore playing a key role and with one minute to go trailed by only five points, 57-52, on free throws by 6-7 Tom Templeton. At this point"Western went into their patented stall and free throws made for the final score. Forward Gary White,though scoring only 7 points, was a tiger on the boards with 11 rebounds. He also made 5 steals.Coach Chuck Randall started Roger Fuson at a guard slot in order to cope with Eastern Oregon's size.The 6-4, 210 pound junior had 5 rebounds and numerous assists. The Mounties were led in scoring byMoore with 15 points. The All-NAIA District 11 performer also pulled down 9 rebounds. E n r i g h t t o pp e d all rebounders with 15 grabs while Cowapoo put through 12 points for the losers who are now 7-8on the year. Both teams shot poorly, Western hitting 35 per cent and Eastern 37 per cent from the field. The Vikings outrebounded the taller Mounties 46-44. Both teams had 21 turnovers.

This afternoon, thebookstore committee will vote on their proposed rebate policy and recommend acceptance by theAssociated Students. The final approval or rejection will be made by the AS legislature at a meeting inthe near future. By general consensus vote Wednesday afternoon, the six-man bookstore boardaccepted a seven-point rough draft of a rebate policy to return all available Student Co-operativeBookstore profits to student and faculty patrons by means of a percentage rebate. Any such rebate willbe contingent on the bookstore showing a profit for the entire fiscal year. In outline form, the proposedrebate policy under discussion by the board this afternoon is as follows: - a t the beginning of fall quarter, a pro forma income statement for the fiscal year will be made available to students. -should the proforma income statement show an estimated profit for the year, students will be advised Student CopsOffered Aid Law enforcement personnel of tomorrow are going to have to be better trained than everbefore. With this in mind, the Justice Department has established the Law Enforcement EducationProgram (LEEP). This program gives college financial aid to employees in police, court and correctionalinstitutions (in-service) or students preparing for careers in those fields (pre-service). Student loans canbe up to $1,800 per academic year. The actual amount granted is determined by Richard Coward,director of the financial aids office, on the basis of need. The recipient must sign a promissory (promise)note. Upon becoming a certified full-time employee at a public law enforcement agency, 25 per cent ofthe person's loan is cancelled every year in service. If the person does not go into law enforcement, theloan has seven per cent interest on it and must be paid within 10 years or at $50 a month. Grants canbe up to $200 a quarter with preference given to those students working to become state and local lawenforcement officers. Legal Advice Available Now A key to legal problems students may encounter isbeing offered through the Associated Students Legal Aid Service. Coordinators Pete Musselwhite andJim Blizard are manning the recently-acquired office (VU 217) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily, ready andwilling to help individuals with legal problems. L a n d l o r d - t e n a n t disputes, contracts, alcohol ordrug violations, information on legal rights and general help in encouraging awareness of-*he law allcome under the legal aid services. Blizard intends to branch out from the traditional function of individual problems to broaden the legal aid program. He is going to do this by preparing bust manuals on generalproblems such as drug and alcohol laws, traffic accident procedures and other major problems studentsmay encounter. Blizard urges students to take advantage of the legal aid service. If a student can't make the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. office hours he may arrange individual appointments or call during office hours at676-2460. to keep all personal bookstore receipts to be turned in at, or before, the end of the fiscal year,July 31. â€”actual profit figures to be returned via a rebate will be determined by an independent a u d i t o r ' s report to be made immediately following the end of the fiscal year. -individual rebates to studentsturning in their receipts will be made on a percentage basis of any profits determined by the bookstoreboard to be available for rebate. -rebates will be made on all receipts received during the fiscal year from Aug. 1 to July 31 of the following year showing a minimum of $1 total rebate. -receipts turned in after the July 31 deadline will be carried through the following year. â€”rebate will be made by check to bemailed out, or picked up personally, during the month of September. A final draft of the outlined proposal will be voted on formally by By JACKIE LAWSON The Palestine teach-in, held to inform students of theproblems facing the Palestinians today, turned into a heated debate between the various attendingfactions. The teach-in, held last Thursday in the VU lounge, attracted a standing room only crowd. Thepanel consisted of moderator Leonard Helfgott, lecturer in Western's history department, Dr. KayeFaulkner, assistant professor of economics, and Nubar Housepian, an Arab graduate student in politicalscience at the University of Washington. Housepian, an Armenian from Egypt, represented the "Palestine liberation movement, not to be confused with the Popular Front, an unrecognized organizationin Palestine. He was in the Middle East last summer and visited most of the Palestinian refugee camps. "I am one of the niggers of Egypt," he declared at the outset of his presentation. "Even the niggers ofthe Middle East support the Palestinian revolution," he said. His presentation dealt with three segments of the present conflict; the Zionist movement, labeled political; the creation of the State of Israel, May15, 1948; and the meaning of the Palestine movement. "The revolution is yet to begin in the office of thePopular Front in Beirut," he said. Palestine has been a nation in exile for the past 20 years, accordingto Housepian. Referring to the Zionist movement, which was organized as a political movement inEurope and became an organization to create the State of Israel, he accused the movement of makingthe people living in Palestine invisible in the eyes of the world. Prior to the acquisition of Israel'sstatehood, the inhabitants of Palestine were a majority constituting 90 per cent of that area's population.They would be forced to diminish into a minority if the state of Israel were created, he charged. Jewsthroughout history have been oppressed, he admitted. "They played a significant economic role inEurope, but later b e c a m e the scapegoat of mercantilism and capitalism," he said. Oppressionseemed to diminish in the 18th and 19th centuries, and was stopped abruptly with the Dreyfus trial inFrance. Theodore Herzl, initiator of the Zionist movement and journalist, covered the trial and "recordedits outcome solely for the purpose of creating sympathy for Jewish oppression, a move which would lead to the creation of a Jewish state somewhere in the world," Housepian said. A brief historical sketchwas given by Housepian to give the audience a the bookstore board this afternoon, and be turned over tothe As legislature in the form of a recommendation. In light of the proposed change of policy, the boardvoted unanimously to request AS legislature to modify their current "no-rebate" policy which has been ineffect since 1958. "Until now, all bookstore profits have gone toward retiring bonds sold to coverconstruction costs of the present bookstore," board chairman Howard Mitchell said. "Funding of thesebonds has now reached the stage that current student bookstore building fees ($2 per quarter fromregistration fees) are sufficient to cover retirement of the remaining bonds. "We are therefore proposing to the AS that they modify their agreement of April 9, 1958, concerning allocation of bookstore profits, toallow payment of a rebate contingent upon bookstore profits to be determined by the bookstore board."Mechanics of the rebate will be worked out by the board working with bookstore manager Ray Knabe,but will basically involve keeping a file on all students returning bookstore receipts throughout the year.At year's end, these receipts will be tabulated and verified, and any rebates will be made out and mailedto patrons in September. Basically, each student or faculty patron will receive a percentage of his totalpurchases, the percentage to be determined from total available profits and the number of receipts turned in. "This is all assuming the bookstore will show a profit, of course," Mitchell stressed. "We havealways shown a profit in the past and hope to continue doing so in the future. Because we are a co-operative, in which all faculty and students participate, we are now proposing to r e t u r n those profits to our members." "We need a positive means of increasing community awareness of our (the college's)existence and a means to work cooperatively with local citizens in areas of common c o n c e r n , " astatement for a community relations program reads. Inter Hall Council (IHC) is sponsoring thecommunity program which has been organizing this quarter, and has been contacting townspeople tosee who's interested in the progrm. "Our goal is to contact a broad scope of organizations downtown,"Assistant Dean of Students Tim Douglas said earlier this week. Through this program some stereotypescan be broken down, Douglas said. Douglas hopes that the IHC community program can be correlatedwith other groups on campus that are attempting to establish better college-community relations.Palestinee Teach--iIn Arrouses Crrowd better understanding of the events which led to the presentPalestinian crisis. As a political movement, Zionism was directly related to the rise of Europeannationalism. This must be understood in the context of the conflicting interests of the national Europeanbourgeoisie and the Jewish b o u r g e o u s i e , and resulting anti-Semitic sentiments, according toHousepian. Both Marx and Lenin rejected the basic concept of Zionist ideology; that the Jewish peopleconstitute a nation. Herzl, however, exploited these conflicts to gain support for his concept of anational Jewish state, Housepian explained. The first Zionist Congress was established and held in1897. Positions adopted at this congress in Basle, Switzerland included; the promotion of organized,large-scale Jewish colonization of Palestine, the acquisition of an internationally recognized right tocolonize Palestine, and the formation of a permanent Zionist organization to unite all Jews in the causeof Zionism, according to Housepian. At the conclusion of the congress, Herzl wrote in his diary, "If I were to sum up the Basle Congress in one word, which I shall not do openly, it would be this: At Basle Ifounded the Jewish State. If I were to say this today I would be met by universal laughter. In five years,perhaps, and certainly in fifty, everyone will see it." The colonization apparatus established at the firstZionist Congress was unsuccessful because the Zionist movement was not endorsed by any of thecolonial powers of the time until England, in 1917, gave international recognition of Zionism through theBalfour Declaration. In 1920? the British gained a mandate over Palestine and appointed Zionist SirHerbert Samuel as First Commissioner of Palestine. Also at this time the secret armed force of theZionist, "Haganah," was established. From 1920 on, the Arabs demonstrated and petitionedinternational bodies to express their rejection of the Jewish migrations to Palestine. This led to the major armed revolt of 1936, which was suppressed. In 1939 the Zionist movement shifted its headquartersfrom Europe to the United States. In 1942 the Biltmore Declaration stated clearly that the goal was toestablish a Zionist state in Palestine and that the gates of Palestine be open to Jewish immigration.Between 1939 and 1947 Jewish immigration greatly increased. On November 29, 1947, fifty years sinceHerzl's statement in Basle, the United Nations partitioned Palestine giving the Jews 55 per cent of theterritory. This was the beginning of the Arab-Israeli war, according to Housepian. By the end of the warthe Zionist occupied and controlled 84 per cent of the total land area of Palestine, forcing many of theArab inhabitants of the occupied area from their homes and into refugee camps, according to Housepian. "A people without land to a land without people," became the Zionist slogan in 1897 after the WorldZionist Organization voted Palestine to become the future state of Israel, he said. "The Jews' desire for ahomeland was a noble desire, but when their' homeland was created on my homeland that desire islost," he said bitterly. In helping find the Jewish state, the Palestine refugee problem was found,according to Housepian. "If the Zionist movement were to reach its goal, the Palestinians would becomea homeless people," he said. A member of the audience broke in, interrupting Housepian in the middle of a sentence and demanded he define Zionism. "The only way to define Zionism is to quote a Zionisthimself," he said, referring to Theodore Herzl. "You're not answering my question," the student charged. "Zionism was an idea, initiated by Theodore Herzl. It became a political movement after receivingsponsorship by the colonial powers of the world, specifically Great Britain, from 1917 to 1945. After 1945 Great Britain was not helpful to the Zionists. Inside Palestine the movement was disorganized," heexplained. Housepian continued with an explanation of the changes in immigration laws. "As theimmigration laws changed so did the economic conditions in Palestine in the twenties," he said.Palestine was suffering from inflation and eventually went into a recession. Jobs were diminishing and t h e p o p u l a t i o n increased. "The Jewish population," he added, vehemently. By 1923, manyPalestinians were jobless and a labor strike ensued. The British administration decided to cut off allrailroad building in Palestine, a move which polarized the Jewish and Arab communities, he added. Adistinction between Jewish commandos and Arab commandos in Palestine was created. This brought on a revolt by Palestinian Arabs "who didn't want the creation of the State of Israel in our midst," he said."If the Jew wanted to assimilate into Arab society, he could have," Housepian said. This commentbrought a violent reaction from the crowd. Some applauded wildly while others booed, hissed andmuttered, outraged. In 1936 there was a major revolt in Palestine, the longest labor union strike in theworld, lasting three years. It was broken by Jewish forces allied with British forces. "No one should besurprised today that there is a Palestinian movement. It is a culmination of many factors. We must beself-reliant to survive," he said. "The Hitler massacre in Europe was an outrage which resulted in a mass support of the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine," he said. "Most Jews know that the attitude taken by the United States following the holocaust was not benevolent. The immigration laws packaged up the problem (Jewish immigrants) and sent it to us in the Middle East," he said. "In 1948 the Palestinianpeople became homeless because of the creation of Israel," he charged. Housepian declared the crux of the problem as the Palestinians' desire to return to their homeland. "The State of Israel is not really thehomeland of the Jewish people," he declared. The audience went wild. The Palestinian representatives in the crowd applauded while other students were violently antagonistic. The Palestinians were living inrefugee camps in the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, Syria, and Jordan from 1948 on. The question wasasked as to why the Arab states didn't take the refugees into their countries. "The Palestinian people, as a nation, refused to be assimilated into the Arab world," he retorted. "The security of the Jew is notaccomplished by fighting. They are more in danger now than ever before," he said. "Is the question tomaintain the Zionist state? No, it is to, in effect, maintain the Palestinian refugee camps," he declared ---------- Western Front - 1970 December 9 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, December 9, 1970 Western Front Both Bombs: Explosions Causing Problem By JILLKREMEN Two great problems existing now in our world are nuclear explosion, and population explosion. A third great problem is that we can not find a solution for these two problems. Sripati Chandrasekhar,minister of health and family planning in India, is trying to find the solution to the population explosion inIndia. He spoke to students Monday at the population symposium in Miller Hall. . A population problemis defined by Chandrasekhar as being evident if one family's needs are-not being met. There are 3.5billion people living on earth. The population estimate for the year 2000 is seven to eight billion people. Ifneeds are not being met now, how will they be met then? India now has 550 million people with 21million babies born every year. A total of 13 million people is added every year to India's population. By2000 A.D., India will have a population of one billion. Chandrasekhar is trying to reduce the populationgrowth from 42 per thousand to 28 per thousand. He is using what he calls the cafeteria approach tobirth control. Family planning is advertised in a Madison Avenue manner. One of the main thingsChadrasekhar is pushing is that female children are just as good as male children. Another non-clinicalapproach is pushing for raising the legal marriage age for children. Now any girl can marry at the age of15. There are four main types of birth control in India. They are sterilization, done mainly to the menbecause on women it is a major operation, 2) the loop, and inter-uterine device, 3) the pill, not used asmuch as the others because of the expense and the lack of understanding of it by the women, and 4)the condom. Ghandi's attitude toward birth control was "marry but don't sleep." Chandrasekharadvocates this policy "if at all possible." Abortion is legal in India for t h e r a p e u t i c reasons only.Chandrasekhar believes abortion should be completely legal. "Men who can never bear babies have noright to talk about it." He feels women must decide whether they want to have the child. Chandrasekharended his lecture saying that solitude is an important part of our daily life. If the population growthcontinues at its present rate, solitude will become an impossible state. Two other goals Chandrasekharis working toward are the possibility of all people being at peace with the environment, and at peace with their fellow human beings. Arab Detention Surveyed Preventive detention of Arabs has been an issueraised by critics of the State of Israel as evidence of the undemocratic character of the government.Professor Alan Dershowitz of the Harvard Law School, a noted civil rights lawyer and a member of thenational board of the American Civil Liberties Union, investigated this in an on-the-spot survey in Israelsome weeks ago. In the December issue of Commentary, Professor Dershowitz reviews his findings, and comments on the general use of preventive detention by countries at war. Professor Dershowitz wasgranted full access to the Israeli Arabs being held under preventive detention. In his private interviewswith Fawzi al-Asmar, a poet, whose continuous detention has become a cause celebre in Israel andother countries, the latter protested his innocence, as did others imprisoned with him. But whenProfessor Dershowitz examined the dossiers that Israeli Intelligence g a t h e r e d , and met withrepresentatives of the Shin Bet, the government intelligence agency, he became convinced that thegovernment's decision to keep 23 of its Arab citizens in jail was in most instances justified. "On thebasis of my experience," Professor Dershowitz writes, "I find it difficult to understand the criticismleveled against Israel by groups such as Amnesty International who claim that Israel will not open itsdoors to their investigatory teams. Almost every door in Israel seemed unlocked; all that was needed was some initiative, and sometimes, a gentle push. The authorities in Israel were aware of my criticalattitude toward preventive detention; yet they imposed no restrictions on my activities." â€¢ ProfessorDershowitz notes that the regulations authorizing preventive detention in Israel were ones carried overfrom the British Mandate period. They were used by the British against Irgunists and other Jewishterrorist movements. (A member of the Shin Bet offices who met with Professor Dershowitz had beenimprisoned under the same provisions during the Jewish struggle for Statehood.) Professor Dershowitznotes that preventive detention was no longer in operation against individual Jews and "was hardly usedat all" against non-Jews by the Israeli authorities between 1953-1965. The 1967 war, however, broughtabout an increase in terrorism among Israeli Arabs, because the open border between Israel and theoccupied territories made it possible to smuggle in materials necessary to carry out acts of terrorism.As of August 1970, Professor Dershowitz reports, only 23 Israeli Arab citizens are actually beingdetained, and at no time has this figure exceeded 100. Several hundred additional Israeli Arabs are under intelligence surveillance or have had some restrictions imposed upon their movements. Evaluating thetreatment afforded Israeli Arabs by the Israel government, Professor Dershowitz concludes that whileArabs in Israel are subject to some "de facto discrimination," usually involving routine identificationchecks, "they enjoy full rights of citizenship" and have "no restrictions . . . placed on them." Reviewingthe use of preventive detention in other lands, Professor Dershowitz briefly examines the A m e r i c a nd e t e n t i o n of Japanese-Americans during World War II. In that instance, he recalls, the UnitedStates dispensed with the standard rules of evidence regarding suspected spies and herded thousandsof its citizens into detention camps. On balance, he writes, he would favor repeal of the EmergencyDefense Regulations. But he emphasizes that Israel is a nation at war, with a major segment of theconflict carried on within its own civilian areas. "Israel is taking considerable r i s k s , " ProfessorDershowitz concludes. "Indeed I know of no country including our own that has ever exposed its wartime population to so much risk in the interest of civil liberties. But risks to safety have always been the price a society must pay for its liberty." Drug Seminar Class Offered Again Winter] Due to the great demandfor, and success of the seminar in drug education offered for the first time this quarter, the class willagain be open Winter quarter. The class is open to high school ' and college students, to public schoolteachers, parents and anyone else wanting to learn about drugs. The sessions will examine the drug s c e n e from many different perspectives in order to investigate the many-faceted area. Speakers willinclude Robert Keller of Fairhaven C o l l e g e , the newly-elected prosecuting attorney Jane Mason,Bellingham narcotics officer Spedo Southas and Christopher Taylor of Western's psychology department. Students may sign up for the course as Health Education 497t or Soc/Anthro 497t for the two creditclass. There is no prerequisite for the class but a limit of 100 persons has been established. It is alsoopen for audit. Registration can be mailed in with the fee, which is $30 for credit of extension students,$6 for single auditors and $10 for a married couple, to the Department of Continuing Studies, CollegeHall 139, or one can go there in person to register. Fall Klipsun Due The Fall quarter Klipsun isscheduled to be distributed on campus | today) The magazines will be placed around campus at theViking Union, the coffee shops and other spots. Bus Your Body Western has taken the initial step instarting a mass transit system to campus with the subsidizing of a campus bus route. The new busroute which started Monday extends to Birnam Wood and the Bellingham Mall besides hitting thedowntown and campus area. It is on a trial basis until the end of February and then it will be evaluated.According to Jack Cooley and Lester Lee from the Business Administration office, if it proves worthwhilethe number of buses and routes will be expanded. . "The goal is to really provide service to the campus," they emphasized. "It is hoped that students and faculty will support it." The price of tickets is one dollar for a book with eight tickets in it. This is HVz cents a ride, half of what it presently is to ride a bus.Tickets are not sold by the bus drivers. They are sold only at the V i k i n g Union (VU), Co-opBookstore, and other areas on campus. "One thing people should know is that any time a transfer fromone bus to another is involved, the students will have to pay the full fee of 25 cents," Cooley pointed out. Theatre Tryouts Try outs for the Bellingham Theatre Guild's production of "Androcles and the Lion" byGeorge Bernard Shaw will be held Dec. 16 and 17 at 7:30 P.M. and Dec. 19 and 20 at 2:00 P.M.Auditions will be at the theatre guild, 1600 H street. There are 14 male roles and two female roles.Financing of the route costs the college a maximum of 84 dollars - day which is seven dollars an hou:This is payed to the Bellinghar Transit System for the use of thei buses and to pay the bus driver. Themoney to pay for this wil come from ticket money sales, fron those who pay the full fare, and frorr various college funds, if needed. The whol idea of the college helping finance a bus route came about as aresult of the last election in which the Bellingham voters failed to pass the measure to help subsidize the Bellingham Transit System which is a privately owned company. The transit company is presentlyhaving great financial difficulties. "Even if the City Transit folds, which is a strong possibility, the campus run will still continue," Cooley said. The bus runs from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.On Saturday, it runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The exact scheduling and bus stops are posted in the VU.Bible Concert Here Mezzo-soprano Frances Bible will appear in concert at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow in themusic auditorium. Miss Bible has sung major roles as a member of the New York Opera Company andhas been a repeated guest artist with the San Francisco Cosmopolitan Opera. Miss Bible also sang thestarring role in the Seattle Opera production of "The Crucible" in 1968. Tickets are available in advance at the Viking Union desk and will be on sale at the box office.

This college community neededand deserved more than a weekly newspaper. We, the WESTERN FRONT staff, are proud to say that atwice-weekly newspaper is now a part of this community. Now we will be striving to improve the quality of the newspaper. We hope to have our own print shop equipment some time next quarter. With thisequipment we will be able to produce a finer paper more efficiently. Tonight the Publications Board willselect a new editor for next quarter. It will be really interesting to see what changes the paper will haveunder the direction of another editor. But that will be next quarter. Between now and then we all havesomething very important to do. That is, have a good vacation. In order that we do a good job nextquarter at whatever we do, it is important that we take the time to enjoy ourselves this vacation. So,really, have a Merry Christmas.

As presently set up, it does not insure fairrevieWof student complaints. On Nov. 2, Clarence Smith initiated an academic complaint concerningtesting and grading procedures used before and after a Geography 101 test given Oct. 20. Geography101 is a required general education course listed under option one in the General Catalog and taught byFranklin Raney. On Dec. 2, Smith received a five page report from Robert W. Teshara (assistantprofessor of geography) who was appointed arbiter in the case by Howard Critchfield, chairman of thegeography department. On page one of his report, Teshara states that "Inasmuch as specific procedures are not stipulated in the General Catalog, I developed one which I thought compatible with the generalguidelines." In his conclusion, Teshara states "I have no real hope of effecting any reconciliation ofdifferences, and inasmuch as control measures have been implemented in an endeavor to prevent further incidents of this type, I recommend that the case be closed at this point." Smith was then informed ofhis right of appeal under section two of the academic complaint procedure. Smith can now appealTeshara's decision to a three-man committee composed of the department chairman (Critchfield), afaculty member chosen by the. instructor involved (Raney), and a student or faculty member chosen bySmith. If Smith chooses a student to represent him, that student must be a geography major. Thecomposition of this committee, as well as the choice of Teshara as initial arbiter in the case, havestacked the odds against Mr. Smith's getting fair review of his complaint. This does not mean that he willbe unfairly treated; it just means that he stands a good chance of being unfairly treated.RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REVISION The chairman of each department at Western should appoint one member of his department to be part of a pool of arbiters for academic complaints. All academiccomplaints should be submitted directly to the dean of Western, and the dean should then choose atrandom, in the presence of both the appellant and the chairman of the accused department, an arbiterfrom the arbiter pool. Should the arbiter chosen be from the accused department, the dean should select at random, also in the presence of the appellant and the defending chairman, another arbiter. Appealsstemming from the initial arbiter's decision should be directed to a committee composed of the defendingdepartment chairman, a student or faculty member of the appellant's choice, and a member of theaforementioned arbiter pool. The arbiter chosen would not be from the defending department and would be selected at random by the dean of Western using the methods outlined above. The initial arbiter wouldbe automatically disqualified from serving on the committee. Final appeal could be made to the dean ofWestern. His decision, stated as the conclusion of a report on the complaint, would be final and binding. The majority of the decision-makers under the present complaint procedure are members of thedefending department. This is hardly a fair and impartial jury to judge academic complaints! By JOHNSTOLPE A FEW LAST WORDS You would have liked Dick Crosby. He was a skinny college dropoutwho had the not-so-unique misfortune of being a part of President Johnson's big Vietnam buildup in themid-sixties. I first met Sergeant Crosby in an Army enlisted men's club on the windy central coast ofSouth Vietnam four years ago. He stumbled in out of the muggy night and took a barstool next to mine.After downing several cans of warm beer he looked my way and asked, "Where you from, partner?"Bellingham, Washington, I answered. "Jesus Christ!" he shouted. "Put her there, man, I'm fromSpokane." In the many monsoon-drenched months to follow, Dick Crosby and I became pretty goodfriends. We ritually sat for hours in the red mud behind the club, drank beer, and argued vehemently about the war. Both of us were hawksâ€”we just disagreed over tactics. "I just can't understand it," Sgt. Crosby would say. "If the United States government really wanted to win this war, why don't we just bomb thehell out of Hanoi and Haiphong?" I would usually slap my fists in the mud and answer, "No. No. We justneed to step up our guerrilla warfare tactics just as the Vietcong and North Vietnamese regulars havebeen doing for years." Needless to say, neither of us convinced the other how the Vietnam War shouldbe won. But we did agree that if Gen. Westmoreland was to march up Highway 1 to raid North Vietnam by land, then we would gladly fall in line and give him a hand. The general never did march up Highway 1.Before the year was over, we were convinced that the U.S. military was committed to a "no win" policyand that it would be a big shame if we happened to get killed for nothing. Dick and I both wanted to finishcollege, anyway. Three days before he was scheduled to fly home to his parents and his girlfriend, Sgt.Crosby disappeared on a routine helicopter flight on the night of December 3,1967. We never saw himagain. Whether they were committed to the war or not, fifty thousand Dick Crosbys will not be home forthe holidays this year, or ever. * * * GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST There is no peace now. There canbe no peace so long as_people are oppressed and hungry in the world. There can be no peace while men have weapons and nations have armies. There can be no peace in a world that believes that might makes right. Today people are oppressed and hungry, men have weapons and armies, might still makes right,and today there is open warfare among nations. Even during this season, as we begin to pay lip serviceto the song of the angels, we are, with unconcerned hypocrisy, preparing to plunge into a third world war. â€”Western newspaper editorial, 1950. * * * Our Jewish friends on the staff are holding me at gunpointdemanding equal time for Hannukah. I should have suspected trouble when I spotted a Jewish Star ofDavid sketched on top of a Christmas tree in a stationery store advertisement in the last issue. It seemsthat one of our graphics men is Jewish, and he just thought it would be a nice gesture if . . . . TodaysMuckraker will be the last. In retrospect, there have been some controversial issues which probablydeserved more attention. But, hopefully we brought you a little entertainment over the weeks.

A diverse mixture of students is an everyday sight on the campus of theUniversity of California at Berkeley (UC). Newsweek's recent claim that UC is the number one ratedinstitution of higher education in the nation, rated "just above Harvard" is difficult to dispute. The campus contains an interesting conglomeration of students and non-students from pig-tailed, knee-sockedsorority girls to braless, shoeless, defiant women's liberationists. Long-hairs intermingle with mensporting crew-cuts, sports jackets and ties, while campus revolutionaries d i s p u t e their views withright-wingers. And of course there are the great majority of students in between. Hari Krishna dancersand Jesus freaks welcome students and street people alike at the entrance to Sproul Plaza, a haven forjust about everyone. Dogs on the UC campus are to students as cows are to the inhabitants of India.Students oftentimes sustain skull-shattering blows from local police, but the canines are never harmed.The campus is impressive; an attractive mixture of old and new architecture, somewhat similar to that ofthe University of Washington. It is immense, yet friendly. The faculty is comprised of some of the best,most renowned figures in education today, including many Nobel prize winners in all academic fields.UC, "probably the most successful public institution of higher learning the world has ever known,"according to Newsweek, however, is facing many internal problems which directly parallel those atWestern, specifically in the area of student government. UC's governmental structure consists of 30senators (comparable to Western's 15 legislators) elected at-large, 15 in the Spring and 15 in the Fall,who serve a one-year term. There are five officers, elected in the spring; president, executive v i c e - p re s i d e n t (two people hold this office), academic affairs yice president, administrative affairs, and astudent advocate, whose position requires defending students on conduct changes and disciplinarycommittees. The government consists of two basic divisions; the operations commission and theactivities commission. Operations encompasses the student bookstore which grosses a staggering twoand one half million dollars annually, bowling alley, game room, and the four-story student union whichhouses meeting rooms and a ballroom with a seating capacity of 2,000. Activities commission is incharge of student activities in the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC),comparable to Western's AS. The activities commission is broken down into, and deals with, twosegments: boards and specific activities. The boards include, for example, the Third World Boardconsisting of Asians, Chicanos, Blacks and Native Americans. Funding from student body fees totalsseven dollars per quarter per student, which includes both graduates and undergraduates. The fee lastyear was $4.50 per student per quarter but this academic year the students voted to raise it. Most of the fees are channeled into activities, operations, and salaries for the 72 full-time paid personnel. "We aretrying to expand. We would like everything under (ASUC) control," ASUC Vice President Bob Famulener said. F a m u l e n e r , tall, lanky, conservatively dressed; is a junior Independent Political Sciencemajor, who sports a perpetual sardonic grin and occasionally grits his teeth when speaking of the UCBoard of Regents. When the topic shifts to student control his eyes gleam with an obviouslymischievous twinkle. The academic senate is the faculty governing body on campus, consisting of 1^00tenured faculty members. This senate contains a vast number of committees, some of which includestudent membership and votes. An extremely controversial segment of the campus is the ExperimentalCenter for Participant Education, funded with $14,000 per year by the ASUC. Eldridge Cleaver previously taught a class on racism under this program and "the program blew up," according to Famulener. "Theregents, of course, raised hell," he said. T h e c l i m a x from the Cleaver-regents conflict occurredwhen Tom Hayden, of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) taught a course the following quarter. "The regents again got a little u p s e t , " Famulener sarcastically quipped. Another segment of theASUC is the Administrative Committee, headed by the administrative vice president. The registration fee (tuition) is $150 per quarter or $450 per year. This goes for the funding of the housing office, hospital(student health services), counseling center, and the alumni-student placement center. Student services are attempting to get input intoj and control over gt; student government, according to Famulener. UC's student government was formed in 1887. "We (ASUC) built the Memorial Stadium; intercollegiateathletic field, counseling center, Cowl Hospital and the housing offices. As these services expanded the university, which Famulener considers synonymous with the board of regents, confiscated them. Therewas little or no student input. "I no longer consider them student services. They serve more the university than the students. They are like little fiefdoms running around the campus, but we are trying to regaincontrol," Famulener said. To combat the regents ASUC established a non-profit corporation off campus,ironically titled Students of Berkeley, Inc. (SOB) SOB was created because "on campus we are limitedin what we can do and say politically, by the regents," according to Famulener. "We were forced to setup an alternative, and we had no option but to move off campus. There we could make enough profit tosurvive as a student government; as a service to students," he said. ASUC senators and executiveofficers sit on the board of directors of the corporation, the only connection with the university. Profitsmade from .Â£OB a r e u s e d a t the ASUC discretion with no interference from the university, onlyfrom the state of California. The corporation started with a record store which began operation with $900capital, accumulated by collections from students. In its first year and a half the record store grossed ahalf million dollars. The corporation is presently expanding to include a bicycle shop, clothing store, andarts and crafts shop. Famulener departed to an executive meeting and ASUC President Craig Fenechcontinued. Fenech is a graduate student . studying law at UC, and previously attended and graduatedfrom Notre , Dame. "We hope to elect students to the Berkeley City Council," Fenech said. ASUC hasformed a coalition of leftâ€”'Oriented people; Blacks and Berkeley hill liberals (rich academic people),some from the university community and some street people. The Berkeley City Council is comprised ofsix people, and on April 6 an election for five of those positions will take place, one of which is themayoral position. "We will run candidates, by and large, of liberal, radical, leftist leanings. We stand avery good chance of getting them elected. Students comprise 20 per cent of the population of the city ofBerkeley, and the Blacks comprise about 50 per cent. If we can pull those two factions together we have a good chance," Famulener said before he left. The strategy is to set up a lobby with the otherUniversity of California student governments. Weyerhauser Wants to Improve Ecology The WeyerhauserCorporation, a major polluter in Washington, is interested in improving the ecology of the state. WilliamS. Noce, assistant to the director of environmental resources for Weyerhauser, conveyed these andother intentions when he spoke in the Viking Union Lounge Dec. 1. "Weyerhauser has spent $15 millionthis year in anti-pollution devices," Noce said. "Sure, there's been pressure from the public too," hecontinued. "We're willing to put investments in developing new concepts, as long as the cure isn't worsethan the disease," he said. "Our Everett mill is the most offensive in the area," said Noce. "The decision is being made now whether to begin improvements or close the mill down, but I think they've decided tomake repairs," he said. Another subject questioned was the feasibility of re-processing used papers and cardboards for further use. Noce aired the problems and costs. ."It .would.,be.far top.expensive J'qr , us to build a new re-processing plant now," Noce said. "Several small local operations in that business have folded because of high costs and low demands," he added. "Few customers are interested in t h e re-processed cardboard products," Noce continued. "The boxes fall apart when they get wet, and if weimpregnate the cardboard with plastics for reinforcement, they cannot be re-processed again," he said.One other topic discussed was the future of the state's tree crops and resulting supply of wood products. "Right now we're planting ten trees for every one we cut," Noce said. "Our harvest in the year 2020 willbe our greatest ever, and there will be more trees on the land than ever before," he predicted. HUGE WILD DISCOUNTS .' STEREO RECORDS TAPES SPEEDY SERVICE - SEND FOR YOUR FREELIST THE STUDENT STORE P.O. BOX 64 REDONOO BEACH, CALIFORNIA 90277 NAME ADDRESS ZIP The topic swiftly switched to last spring's strike. In the first days of the strike the ASUC turned out seven million leaflets. By the end of the first month 15 million had been distributed. "That's a hell of alot of paper," Fenech said. A massive speaker's program was organized over the course of the strikewith about fifteen thousand students actively working on some segment of it. "Twenty to twenty-twothousand participated in a negative sense by not attending classes. UC had the best organization of any college during the strike and the most incredible mobilization. We had the building (referring to entirelystudent owned Eschellman Hall which houses tlu; ASUC office) and we kept it. 'The entire event wasexciting; an adventure. We felt like 'god damn-we're finally doing i t ! ' " he said, somewhat wistfully. The Daily Californian, UC's newspaper with a circulation of 25,000 has its separate conflict with t h e r e g en t s , according to Editor-in-Chief Bruce Koons. Last June the regents passed a resolution stating thatall UC newspapers must come up with guidelines for publication or they would be restricted frompublishing. Koons labeled the guidelines "abstract" and said they cause the staff to work in a vacuum.This demand by the regents stems from an action taken by the UCLA paper, which printed a photosimulating copulation. The Daily Cal's fight with the regents is "suppression of freedom of the press,"according to Koons. ' ' T h e r e g e n t s and the administration don't feel the need, or understand thesignificance of a student press. They would just as soon not have one on campus," he said. Koons, asenior History of Western and Political Thought major from Arizona, was selected in an election by theDaily Cal staff. There is no publication board at UC to select editors as is the case at Western, butrather a publishers board, labeled a "rubber stamp" organization by Koons. The fight with the publisher's board involves the administration who are "reacting fearfully. to the regents," according to Koons. Theboard stifles the student press and is attempting ''to prevent controversy by subtly exercising priorcensorship. The board now consists of four students, who apply and are selected at-large, one ASUCrepresentative, one journalism professor, and one business education professor. The structure of theboard, however, is attempting to reorganize to include a professional journalist and two faculty oradministrative representatives appointed by the chancellor of the university. ' ' W e d e s i r e a morestudent-directed pub board with faculty members nominated by the faculty senate," Koons said. Thiswould be the first step toward independence for the paper. Twenty per cent of the revenue for the paper is acquired from student fees. The paper's budget per year is $280,000; $205,000 comes from a d v e r t is i n g , $4,000 from subscriptions, and $70,000 from student fees which are called block subscriptions. The paper employs Associated Press style, but is open to personalized reporting-being careful to keepthe reader aware it is personal. "Fairness and accuracy is the key because the regents object to anypolitical bias," Koons said. The past editor was tyrannical, and as a result many conflicts ensued,especially over party politics, according to Koons. "There is less ego tripping and we have, as a result, a more congenial paper," he said. Credibility is a major concern for Koons. The paper must meet thediverse range of students on UC's campus. "When we take a strong editorial stand we must havecredibility," he said. There has been much controversy over letters to the editor, resulting in runningdebates over such issues as the war and the Palestine conflict. The Daily Cal is concerned with being acommunity press as well as merely a college paper. The staff, therefore, does much communitycoverage. The Daily Cal is attempting to set up a Uni-Press service involving all the University ofCalifornia campuses and their newspapers. Many factions on campus have become sensitive to theproblems facing the Daily Cal, which is oftentimes caught between these factions. "That's really a dragbecause all we want to do is put out a nice paper," Koons sighed. Koons is optimistic about the fate ofthe Daily Cal in the next few years, despite frequent conflicts with the regents and the administration.TRADE, SELL OR BUY IT IN THE CLASSIFIEDS 676-3160 BANK ROBBERY INFORMATION? TheWashington Bankers Association again announces its $5,000 REWARD FUND Since theestablishment of this fund in 1954 awards of varying amounts have been paid to private citizens who havebeen alert to observe and report helpful information directly to law enforcement agencies, whichinformation has led to the arrest and conviction of persons who have robbed banks in the State ofWashington. The Washington Bankers Association, in its sole discretion, determines the possibleeligibility of these civic-minded witnesses to receive an award and the amount to be given. It takes noaction in considering an award, however, until the bank robbery has been solved and the criminal hasbeen sentenced. The Seattle Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation acts in an advisory capacityand assurance is given that such reporting of information to law enforcement authorities will, if requestedby the informant, be given confidential handling.

The announcement is contained in instructions issued to local board personnelby Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, Director of Selective Service. These instructions alter previous policy which statedthat the application had to be in the hands of local boards prior to a December meeting of the localboard. The instruction to local boards will be of interest to men who hold high numbers in the 1970 draftlottery. Should a young man hold a number higher than that reached by his local board (no higher than195) it is to his advantage to voluntarily give up his deferment for a I-A classification. In these cases, hewill move to a lower draft priority group on January 1, 1971, with other members of the 1970 first prioritygroup with unreached numbers. Tarr explained that "the law allows young men to elect whether they will apply for a deferment and those young men granted deferments should be able to drop them if theydesire." By defining a specific cut-off date, the new policy allows all registrants an equal amount of timeto take advantage of the reclassification offer. The types of deferments affected by the memorandum are high school and college student deferments, occupational deferments, agricultural deferments, paternity and hardship deferments. Dr. Tarr pointed out that all deferments are issued for limited periods of time,generally for one year, and that it is the responsibility of the registrant to submit documentation for anextension of his deferment. In the absence of documentation, the new local board memoranduminstructs local boards to promptly reclassify registrants into I-A. This means that registrants wishing tocontinue holding their deferments should submit the supporting documentation to their local boards.LANGE VOLKSWAGEN mSamishWay 734-5230 Sales: New and used Volkswagens. . jj/wnat. wt WMprovide uunpwnuMMi ior cwtoflKis to and from the campus wUe yow car k being serviced.

Bypass Ready Soon Anyone who drives through campus via High Street is in for a pleasant surprise winter quarter when thenew by-pass street will be ready. Gordon Hayes, vice president for C. V. Wilder Construction, said thathis crews will have the road open on schedule, despite the hindering weather that forced paving to stoplast week. Hayes said that the asphalt could only be laid- in 50 degree plus temperatures and thatworkmen were unable to do it last week. It should have been finished yesterday. The main purpose forWest Campus Way will be to ease traffic along High Street in front of the Viking Union, library and music building area. During class changes traffic flow is badly disrupted and could be a hazard in the case ofemergencies. The by-pass will have three lighted lanes, two up and one down, and a sidewalk on oneside. There will be no space available for parking. Making connections just south of the music andauditorium building along High Street and at Garden and Oak Street, the project has been underconstruction for the past 18 months. In the past, campus planner Barney Goltz has said that future plan is to completely close down the campus section of High and make it into a mall or park with trafficspace available only to emergency vehicles. Closure on any basis will not come until October, 1971,since there must be improvement on Garden and surrounding streets to take the traffic flow increase,Goltz said. Tow Charge Refunded The Parking Appeals Board passed a motion to refund RichardLocasso, a student, a tow away charge he paid when his car was impounded, last Sept. This was thefirst case the new board has heard. Between Summer and Fall quarters on Sept. 15 at about 10 p.m.,Locasso had his car towed away because he had parked inside the chain closing the driveway betweenMiller Hall and the Art Annex. Locasso said that he had driven his car through the chain entrance to lot10A at High Street, and parked his car in front of the chain on the other side. Normally, parking in front of a driveway on the first offense calls for just a ticket. In this case, he had parked in front of a fire lanewhich usually calls for impounding the car. Locasso said that if he had known that the closed offdriveway was a fire lane he would not have parked there. The sign stating that the driveway was a firelane had been posted on the other side of the chain, which at that time of night he had not seen. Theboard agreed that there was an improper posting of the sign and granted Locasso a refund for the towingcharge. In other action the board elected Greg Baker chairman. Baker and the other members stressedthat any persons in the college community wishing to make an appeal for having their vehicle impounded are urged to do so. They can either set up an appeal date with Bob Peterson, Director of Safety andSecurity, or go directly to the board meeting. The Appeals Board, which has six cases they want to hear before vacation, will meet tomorrow at 4 p.m. in Viking Union 008.

Slesnick, a former consultant to populationeducation programs in India, pointed to that country as the testing ground for evaluating populationeducation. Yet, he indicated that the United States must initiate an effective population educationprogram since it is the only country with the necessary resources to develop one. "It's no secret that the birth control program in India is failing," Slesnick said. The Indians aren't really motivated to availthemselves of family planning services the government has provided. This motivation isn't beingsignificantly affected by the mass media barrage in favor of birth control either, according to Slesnick.People are now concluding that mass media only serves to reinforce already established values. In orderto change the basic attitudes, the young people must be reached, he said. Approximately 50 per cent of the world's population is under 16, Slesnick said, and an effective program of population educationmust be aimed for them because it has been found that attitudes toward family size are gained whenchildren are from 8 to 13 years old. Slesnick explicitly cited the behavioral objective of populationeducation. As he sees it: AS Working with Dorms S t u d e n t g o v e r n m e nt representatives andthe Council of Dorm Presidents have met twice this quarter in an attempt to break down barriers whichhave separated dorm governments from AS government. Ted Sundquist had been appointed to act as aliaison from AS government to Inter Hall Council. The Council of Dorm Presidents meet with Sundquistonce or twice a month so both groups can be informed and help one another and jointly work together tosolve problems affecting them, according to AS President Steve Cooper. -every act of intercourse mustbe proceeded by a conscious act of contraception unless a child is desired, and -child bearing must belimited to zero, one or at the most, two children per family. Education programs must be developedwhich infuse the American schools at all levels, in all courses, if they are to be genuinely effective,Slesnick believes. He offered an example program in which third graders would do story problems whichwould illustrate that smaller families can be wealthier, would read stories depicting happy small familiesand would see Indian art which would show small, happy families. Besides this infiltration acrosssubject lines, population education w o u l d become progressively sophisticated. In science, forinstance, a student could study natural controls on plant populations on a simple level in the fourth grade, move into the same type of stuff for animal reproduction and sexuality in the fifth grade, advance tohuman reproduction, then population control and so on. Slesnick pointed to several isolated programswhich are entering the educational world. The Planned Parenthood World Organization is planning toestablish special teacher education programs on population control in six colleges. Pilot programs willbe run under these colleges and selected public schools. Many books, films and other educational toolsare being considered and developed as means of conveying population education. "What's going tocome of this (the individual projects) is still much a mystery," Slesnick said. The Federal governmentprobably will recognize the need for population education in the future and then move into the field. Itwould then pick the best programs and supply funding for a nationwide program. Another possibility,which is being explored, is the use of mass media directing the attitudes of population control to youngchildren. The well-known Sesame Street program intended for pre-schoolers is seriously considering theaddition of population control ideas to their program, according to Slesnick. "I don't mean to say thatpopulation education is the only way to solve the problem," he added. "Population is a wide field,pregnant with many possibilities." Population education is one possibility which must be considered,according to Slesnick. y/////^///x/y////////'/M'A////////y/////yy////4, I Translating: French, English-French j(letters, documents, articles, etc.) jalso, expert editing, proofreading,] letter writing. 733-5404V/M///m/AM^^^ Mazda Delivered in Belling ham $1792.65 1200 2 Door Coupe Plus TAX and LICENSESee Jim McClymont 733-8002 733-7610 BELLINGHAM MAZDA 1200 COMMERCIAL ST.

Communications through the student newspaper, bulletins and open meetings are myprime concern in this area. Another area I feel is important is that minority representation is needed inall areas of Associated Student activities. As an Indian Student I hope to encourage minority studentinvolvement. I feel that I am qualified and willing to serve, my experience includes being AS legislator, fall q u a r t e r ; member of Fiscal Management Committee; and I am also a transfer student from SeattleC.C. and served with Student Government there. I am also working, and a member of the Indian StudentUnion. My major is English and I hope you will vote for me on Dec. 10, 1970. Jim Forsman SharonStalin I believe that when a person starts a job, he should work on it until he gets it done. I believe toomany legislators presently don't have this attitude. I would, therefore, work very hard on the followingareas: â€”Greater student involvement in departmental decision-making is imperative. I believe I canshow many students how important it is to get involved in the grass roots of academic change. -Oncampus students over 21 should be allowed to drink in their dorms. - I f tuition is going to go up, Ibelieve student wages should go up proportionately to a tuition increase. As AS Research Assistant Ihave seen how important it is to do a job, do it thoroughly and do it right. Sharon Stalin Food Stamps:Ginger Hale I feel the major issue is giving students more representation on standing committees. As itis now, the administration has representation and feedback, but the students have very little, if anyfeedback, except through indirect channels. Perhaps, to the average student this seems irrelevant, butthese committees are the ones that make decisions concerning Western's individual tuition hike, theenrollment, and where our money goes. Also, after serving on Legislature, I have found a great lack ofcommunication between the Associated Students and its government. We should be informed of thegovernment's action on a regular basis. It should be current news, not a week late. This would combat alot of the apathy and generate more interest. Now each individual has a voice in the decision-makingprocess. Ginger Hale Mark Bergquist Student views towards AS government impress a feeling ofapathy and alienation upon me. The average student has little knowledge of AS legislative workings.Without the knowledge there is nothing to base an interest on. Typical responses to the candid question of "What do you think of AS government?" are: "Don't ask me," "It's worthless," or "Its policies don'taffect me." Did you, as an individual, ever wonder what our student government is doing with over$60,000 of our money per quarter? Do you know what the AS government is doing to fight the proposedtuition hike? Have you realized that you, as an i n d i v i d u a l , have power in decision-making policies? My goal is to stimulate student interest in college affairs-to bridge the communication gap. MarkBergquist Michele Evans My interest in AS is fourfold: 1. Student services are Associated Students'one main accomplishment. These facilities are both useful and necessary. Their continuation andincreased activity are essential. 2. The possible increase of tuition to $210 a quarter cannot be allowed.An increase of this amount would deprive . many excellent and interested students from a collegeeducation. Although Western needs the financial support increased tuition would provide, students needto have equal opportunity in entering this college. 3. AS needs a lawyer. Legal advice of student rightsand, if necessary, the ability to take legal action to obtain those rights are mandatory. 4. DaugertProposal-against. The major problem is that AS is not an effective voice. The Daugert Proposal does notimprove this situation, but binds us even more. Michele Evans Mary Ellen Watts A major responsibilityof AS government is student representation on the policy setting committees of this campus. Aschairman of the AS Legislature Committee on Student Services, I have been working to get equal votingrepresentation for students on college committees that set policy for such services as the StudentHealth Center. Another major AS responsibility, in my opinion, is political action to protect studentinterests in such areas as proposed tuition increases, enrollment policy and repressive legislation (i.e.Sam Guess's proposed legislative review of college conduct). For this reason, I give my full support tothe efforts of the Political Action Committee which is designed to protect the student interest in thisarea. Fulfilling these student needs is Legislature's responsibility. Mary Ellen Watts Dan RuddellBASICALLY-It comes down to this: I believe that this year we've developed a student government that isrelevant to the real needs of the student, academically as well as socially (i.e., more student say ondecision-making bodies here at Western). It's a good start. I would like to see it through. I am willing toput in as much time as needed to help make our student government more responsible and effective.Dan Ruddell Vote Tomorow Many students on this campus gripe about student government. Few havethe right. Fewer than one third of the student body voted in the last election. I urge all students toexercise their rights and to vote tomorrow, Dec. 10. The VU lounge will be the only polling area. It will beopen at 8 a.m. and will remain open until 7 p.m. All those in line at 7 p.m. shall be allowed to vote.Please bring your student ID.

Gaby SchillingElection Board Chairman Jamie Bryson Legitimate and responsive student government is on the way inat Western: But we need more than ever to push for action: Action in constitutional revision; I support anew constitution with provisions for the cluster colleges and student services. This constitution would bea basic guideline for the AS and would be able to meet today's needs. Action in academic reform; Isupport the idea of students and faculty together throwing out out-moded courses and revamping majorand minor requirements. Action in community relations; here lies the key to Western's future. Thecommunity relations action council is a step in the right direction, but we must see that it is carried out.Action in keeping tuition costs down; AS is the students' best method of communication with the statelegislature.

There are two proposals, which have been the new policy in Bellingham for about a month. There are plans to expand them statewidethis week. One proposal would require students under 21 to prove they are not dependent on theirparents. "They will probably have to show proof from their parents," said a welfare official in Olympia.Married s t u d e n t s are c o n s i d e r ed "emancipated"-free from their parents' home-and will beeligible for stamps if their income is low enough. The other proposal is a new definition of "household."The old rule classified households as "one economic unit" and all members' income would be counted.In some cases students would pay rent to the head of the household and be classified as a "boarder"and, the rest of his income wouldn't be counted. "Now a group of unrelated adults will be considered ahousehold," said Al Brandt, welfare supervisor in Bellingham.

Central - TheWildcats once again appear to be the clear-cut choice for Evco championship. Although Central lost three outstanding players, including All-America's Dave Allen and Paul Adams, the Wildcats seem to havefilled those gaps with transfers and returning lettermen. Central, which placed second in the NAIAplayoffs, returns two key starters: Mitch Adams and George Bender. Western- It's no secret that CoachChuck Randall feels that this is his strongest team in recent years. In fact Randall thinks that the NAIAtitle could be decided in Evco. Western will be a top challenger. Southern Oregon- , â€¢The Red Raiders could very well be the conference "sleeper." Southern s success will hinge on just how well four transfersplay. Three of these transfers are huge. Allan Graves, 6'-9", who started for San Jose State last year,seems to be a cinch starter, but Nate Turner, 6'-9" and Roger Brown, 6'-10" will see lots of action.Another key performer is Gary Carroll, a guard who started for Oregon State last winter. EasternWashington- Eastern doesn't appear to have the deep bench, but the Savages will display a potentstarting five, led by all-Evco Steve Barnett. Whitworth- The Pirates, who return seven lettermen, couldsurprise. Whitworth doesn t have too much height, but it does have several outstanding shooters like Glen Hiemstra and Willard Ranee. Oregon College- The Wolves are even shorter than Whitworth, with itstallest player being Bill Shogren a 6'-4V2" skyscraper. Coach Bob McCullough feels defense will keyOCE's hopes. Eastern Oregon- Eastern won the Oregon Collegiate conference title last season, but inthe process lost several key players due to graduation. Oregon Tech- Tech will also field one of theleague's shorter teams. Height however, won't be the Owl's major problem, experience will be. Only threelettermen return from a 12-14 season. Evco coaches though, should watch Tech with caution, as theOwls have a history of coming up with the big upsets. Western's basketball player of the week is GaryWhite; wrestler of the week is Terry Beckstead. White earned the honor for his great effort againstSacramento State, while Beckstead earned his award for his performance in the Pacific Lutheran match.Vikettes Give Spirited Show Despite Western's loss to Sacramento State in Monday night's basketballgame, at least something of winning quality was established. The Vikettes, a new precision dance anddrill team made their first h a l f - t i m e appearance during intermission. The Vikettes, formed thisquarter by the Black Student Union (BSU), stepped, danced and glided through their routines to theenjoyment of the crowd. Stephanie Preston, whose husband Mike stars on the Viking varsity, thoughtup the idea for the group early this quarter to provide e n t e r t a i n m e n t and possible inspiration toWestern's basketball team and fans. The 19 young female members of the BSU, outfitted in blue andwhite Vik Spiker Sfarts Early Tim Tubbs, a runner on this fall's cross-country team, is now tuning up lor the upcoming track season. Last Friday the long-distance runner competed in the Green LakeInvitational, and finished 12th. Tubbs' time over the 5.8 mile course was 30:49. On Jan. 10, Tubbs willaccompany a contingent of Western runners in the University of Washington Indoor Invitational. andperforming to taped music, have practiced four days a week since the idea was conceived. They plan tomake similar presentations during the rest of Western's home game half-time breaks this season.Wrestlers Rout PLU Western's wrestling team won its second meet of the season with a crunching 37-0 win over Pacific Lutheran University(PLU) last Friday in Tacoma. The Viks wasted little time in gettingon the scoreboard, as Mike Donnelly pinned PLU's Ralph Niels in the opening match. Two more pinsfollowed Donnelly's, with Admiral Flunder and Bill Lowman winning. Terry Beckstead showed immenseimprovement as he defeated Paul Fernham, 7-4. Beckstead lost to Fernham a week before. JeffMichaelson, a hard-hitting defensive tackle during football season, made a successful debut by d e f e at i n g the Lute's Gary Huntington, 8-2.

Last Saturday, the Viks stunned the University ofWashington (UW) freshmen, 77-68. Monday night's game proved to be a highly inspirationalperformance, as the JV's trailing by as much as six points, came from behind in the closing moments to win. Jeff Hamilton scored the winning basket for Western with just eight seconds remaining, as he tooka pass from Keith Reynvann and scored on a lay-up. Up to Hamilton's winning basket the game provedto be a "see-saw" affair. The Viks led throughout the first half, only to see the Papooses come-from-behind to take a 33-31 halftime lead. SU then was in command throughout the first five minutes of thesecond-half, before Bobby Nicol tallied on a 20-foot jumpshot to put the Viks out in front, 43-42. Theteams then traded baskets before Western got control of the ball with 1:02 left in the game. The JV'sthen went into a ball-ccntrol offense setting the stage for Hamilton's winning score. Nicol was the leading scorer for Western with 16 points. Jim Dudley, who played a great game on defense, contributed 13points and eight rebounds. Tom Mount-rounded out the double figure scoring for the JV's with 11 points.Saturday night's game saw the Viks snap a 23 home game winning streak for the Huskie-Pups.Western, which held a 38-33 intermission lead, was in front virtually all the way.

The Hornet defenseheld Western to only 27 field goals in 86 attempts, a shooting percentage of only 31 per cent, whilehitting 28 of only 67 attempts themselves for 42 per cent. Guard Jim Jones and center Charlie Walkerpaced the Sacramento offense. Walker scored 20 points, 18 in the last half, while Jones potted 19. Itwas Jones' crucial three-point play with 1:58 remaining that broke the back of a Western comeback. The Vikings moments before had knotted the score 67-67 on a jump shot by forward Gary White.Sacramento took early command of the game and held as much as a 6-print advantage until a lay-in byJohn Reed tied the score at 24-24. A minute later center Rudy Thomas scored on a lay-in to give theVikings their first lead since early in the contest 28-26. Western held this same 2-point margin athalftime, 32-30. The Vikings continued to lead throughout the early part of the second half, though neverby more than 3 points, until a lay-in by guard Terry Ray tied the score 43-43 at the 13:58 mark. ' Thegame remained a virtual deadlock the next five minutes as the . score was tied no less than six times. Itwas excellent shooting by guard Mike Preston that kept Western in the contest. The transfer from Green River Community College hit four straight field goals from 20-feet. Then with the score tied 55-55Sacramento reeled off 8 unanswered points to take a 63-55 lead. Field goals in this stretch were scoredby forward Lloyd Berens, Walker and guard John Maloney. With 6:39 left Western came back asThomas and White led the way. Guard Mike Franza hit a 15-foot jump shot to cut the deficit to only twopoints 67-65, and then White's 12-footer brought the crowd to its feet as the Vikings tied it up 67-67. Itwas then that Jones scored a lay-in and fouled on the play put in the subsequent foul shot to give theHornets a 70-67 lead they never relinquished. The Western press, which had been a big factor in theircomeback, proved ineffective /thereafter. Another three-point play by Berens with 1:03 left sewed it up for Sacramento as they led 75-69. Foul shots made for the final 78-72. White was the game's high pointman with 23, Thomas had 21 and- Preston 12. White also led the Vikings in rebounds with 12. Thomashad 11 and Lee Roy Shults 9. Though extremely cold from the floor Western did hit 86 per cent from thefoul line and outrebounded the Hornets by a slim margin of 56-52. Sacramento, besides 20 points fromWalker and Jones' 19, got 15 points from Ray and 12 from Berens. Walker was the game's leadingrebounder with 14.

Note: Michael Bates, editor of the Wichita State University Sunflower, held this interview with VicePresident Spiro T. Agnew during the latter's visit to Wichita, Kan-, for a GOP benefit banquet.) Bates:What I'd basically like to center around since we have such a short time, is more or less your thoughtsabout college and college kids today. In other words, after your many trips throughout the United States, and after speaking to thousands of people, what is your concept of the typical American universitystudent? Agnew: I don't think there's such a thing as a typical American university student and toofrequently we're asked to reach a conclusion that there is. The people who ask for a composite university student raise the question that one is potentially in existence. The same for the people in thecommunications media who love their generalizations of the young, the Black and the poor, but oursociety is so varied, so infinitely complex that is unrealistic to expect that a bunch of young peoplecoming from different backgrounds, coming from different areas and centering in a university, wouldimmediately assume a homogeneous quality that they would all think alike. Now there is a tendency, inthat circumstance, to develop a peer opinion. I agree with that, but I think that if you go around thecollege campuses you will find the great variety of opinion among students. I don't question the fact that principally, because of the impact of the liberal thinkers who, for the most part, dominate the faculties inthe universities, that there is very little of the philosophies of the people such as me. There hasn't beenenough chance for me to communicate in depth with college students on my belief about the principlesof the country, which is one reason why I welcome this interview with you-and there is almost the imagethat anyone representing the conservative establishment as a class, contained rather cold, calculatingperson is hard to overcome. So, basically, returning to your question, I don't think we should evercharacterize the students on campuses as being represented by one opinion. Bates; Let me ask youone direct question. I'm sure you are familiar with President Nixon's speech at Kansas State Universityand that there were a few hecklers that were, as you said, in the minority. There's been some questionas to whether these hecklers should be prosecuted for that heckling and for calling out. How do you feelabout that? Do you think that is an answer to it? Agnew: I don't think that's the answer. I think thatanswer is the discipline that comes out of the college campus itself. After all, what they have done morethan break the kind of law that is generally punished publicly, is to betray just outrageous bad manners.And they are part of a community where good manners and reasoned thought are supposed todominate. If they are unable to adjust to that community, then it seems to me that the collegeadministrators should impose their own discipline. I don't think outside laws should affect this. It's moreof a body of ethics that should develop around an academic institution to take care of-that would bemuch more effective, I think, than the laws. Bates: If you find yourself as a university student today, what do you think, aside from your studying, your activities would center on? In other words, would you be instudent politics, ecology or what? Agnew: I just don't know how to answer that because my politicalactivities emerged rather late in my life and during my college years, I was much more interested in theconventional pursuits of the day-fraternity activities, athletics and the things that young people did inthose days. There wasn't this overpowering sense of social consciousness that exists at the presenttime. There was more of an interest in students separating into groups that were brought about by theiraspirations for the future, rather than their concern for contemporary problems. In short, the engineeringstudents stuck together, the liberal arts students did, and everyone was sort of interested in how to getahead in his chosen course of action. Bates: Do you think that the sort of protective world of government leaders is a hindrance to college problems? In other words, if they had access to the machinery ofgovernment, more, could talk with people, say like I'm talking to you, do you think it would be a help?Agnew: It wouldâ€”and yet, I think there is a lot more of it that goes on that we give credit for. We haveintern programs in the White House-White House interns. I had an intern program when I was governor(of Maryland) that I setup to bring students in during the summer months to work in the departments ofgovernment. We had legislative interns and White House fellows and rpograms of that sort. And we haveas much communications as is feasible. Now, students must be aware that, as elected officials, wehave to represent a constituency in which the student population of this country is less than 10 per cent. We must be just as available to these other groups as we are to students. They should have equalaccess to us, but certainly not superior access. And this is a time problem of government. We have todo our jobs too. One of the ways I think communication would be improved would be if this fashionablething on the campus about not allowing people to be heard when they are invited to come and speakwould just disappear, because it really. is the most anti-intellectual facade that's ever been erected in an intellectual community. If I go to a college campus, and I want to give a speech and they won't let metalk or be heard, how am I ever going to get my point across? It is recently that this has started. It'sbeing done by a very small minority of the students. Hopefully, the other students will get tired of it andby their repudiation of it, it will come to an end.

Literary magazine under fire \Jeopard_Y f' V/ / / / I Should "this office be ra.Ted X ? by JACK BROOM Another student publication has come under fire on matters of taste andvalue, after College President Charles J. Flora was advised the yearly literary magazine Jeopardycontained articles "of little literary value" and set up an emergency ad hoc committee to study themagazine. Since the committee has studied the magazine, which does not come out for another month, it has been bounced to three other reviewing sessions. The general concensus has been a concern over the possibility of censorship. "If Flora chooses to halt the publication of'any part of this Jeopardy," oneteacher said, "he may be inviting a lawsuit on the grounds of prior censorship by a public official."Jeopardy's problems follow in the footsteps of Klipsun quarterly magazine. In February, a retiredBellingham fireman underlined all the four-letter words in the Klipsun and submitted copies to Gov. Evans and President Flora. Flora then asked the Student Publications Board to write out a statement ofpurpose and to define its goals of Klipsun. On March 23, Flora created an ad hoc committee to studysimilar issues over Jeopardy. He asked a three-man committee to determine: " 1 . Is the issue of literary and educational value appropriate for the expenditure of college funds and resources? "2. Is the issue in poor taste sufficient to warrant concern on the part of this administration? " 3 . Is the issue within thepolitical bounds appropriate to a Photo by Rich Collingwood 'student literary magazine' enjoyingsponsorship by the Departments of English and Art? That is, is its focus in this instance broad enoughto fulfill its charge?" F l o r a also asked for additional comments, such as whether the committeebelieved that the matter should be forwarded to the prosecuting attorney. Six days later the ad hoccommittee reported that a considerable portion of the issue is not of value appropriate for the expenditure of college funds and that the issue "definitely warrants concern on the part of the administration." Inresponse to Flora's third question, the committee sought clarification of the phrases "political bounds"and "to fulfill its charge." The c o m m i t t e e also recommended that "no legal action should becontemplated at this time." Additional comments from the committee included that in their opinionsome of the material is of "genuine literary value," that the matter should be referred to the StudentPublications Council, that the Jeopardy advisors' roles should be strictly defined, and that attentionshould be paid as to whether Jeopardy fulfills its f u n c t i o n as a student publication. A f t e r r e c e iv i n g the committee's report, Flora contacted the chairman of the English and Art departments todetermine whether, noting the ad hoc committee's findings, t h e y still wished their departments to beknown as cooperating in the production of Jeopardy. T h i s information has commonly been run in theJeopardy masthead. Flora also sent a copy of the committee report to the Student Publications Councilasking for t h e i r ' ' t h o u g h t s and recommendations" to be given at "the earliest possible time."The English department's answer to Flora was formulated in a special meeting Wednesday at 4 p.m.Richard Francis of the English department proposed a detailed response which quoted from the StudentPublication's policy (approved by Flora last October) that "no one outside the staff shall delete, dictate or revise the content of a student publication." The proposal said that for this reason the department could not ask to have its name withdrawn from the masthead, but that "the editor is free to delete such anassertion of cooperation if he wishes." George Garrigues, journalism lecturer, questioned the tone of the last line, saying that it implied that the department would remove its name if it could. Francis said thatthere seemed to be some feeling in the department that it would like to ask that its name be removedand that he chose his wording to intentionally imply that. Questioning whether the English Department'sname belongs in the masthead, Marjorie Donker of the English faculty said, "I think it's foolish foranybody to claim a relationship with a publication over which they have no control. We should takeneither the glory nor the blame." It was pointed out by R.E. Stannard Jr. that the department could, infact, ask that its name be withdrawn since the publication's policy would only prevent the departmentfrom demanding that its name be removed. " Y o u can ask them anything," Stannard said. Garriguesthen moved that "the English Department request the editor of Jeopardy to remove its name from themasthead of the 1972 issue of Jeopardy." Garrigues explained that he was putting forth this motion only to determine definitely where the department stood on the issue and that he himself would vote againstit. Eugene Garber, a Jeopardy advisor, then asked Stannard to explain why he wouldn't favor such amotion. Stannard said, "I don't think it's necessary for us to take this slap-down motion. I think that it ispossible for us to say that we cooperate although we don't agree with everything in it." William Keepsaid, "We are associated with it and to deny that association now is to back off from an association that we have found very pleasant up to now." With an amended wording suggested by Stannard, it said that if the Jeopardy editor intends to use the name of the English department, the English d e p a r t m e n trequests the following be added to the masthead: "Jeopardy is published by the Associated StudentBody of Western in cooperation with the department of English and Art. "Cooperation does not implyapproval or disapproval of the contents of Jeopardy. " C o o p e r a t i o n essentially consists offurnishing the faculty advisors, who discharge their duties as advisors within the framework of theStudent Publication's Policy." T h i s m o t i o n passed unanimously. Immediately after the Englishdepartment adjourned in the humanities building, the Student Publications Council was called to order in VU 364 to deal with the same problem. The council had even another aspect of the Jeopardy case todeal with. A letter to council Chairman Hoyt from AS President Tod Sundquist contained a motion thatthe Publications Council establish policy whereby Jeopardy would concentrate more on printing s t u de n t work and hold non-student contributions to a minimum. Jeopardy Editor Tim Kyle said that he hasbeen familiar with Jeopardy for four years and that as he sees the magazine's function, "it is that of asmall literary magazine, publishing young and unknown writers as well as known writers. "Because ofthis it has a high level of esteem nationally," Kyle said. He also said that in past years up to 75 per cent of Jeopardy's material had been from outside contributors but that this year's issue will featureapproximately 55 per cent contributions from the Western students and immediate community. KnuteSkinner, Jeopardy advisor said, "A student who gets published in Jeopardy receives credit of an entirelydifferent kind than a student who is published in an all-student magazine." Garber pointed out thatJeopardy has been written about favorably in past bulletins of the Associated Writers Program, and Kylementioned that Jeopardy is being used as a primer for some. creative writing classes at' Louisiana StateUniversity. It was also mentioned that various college libraries around the country subscribe toJeopardy, with applications this year coming from Holland, Belgium and England. Kyle said that he didseek a good balance between on- and off-campus contributors, saying that he received over 600 poems, the overwhelming majority from outside sources, and, of the 75 he printed, about half were fromWestern. The council then moved that t h e Jeopardy editor be encouraged to strive for roughly a 50-50balance between campus and outside contributors. It was explained that the word "strive" should implythat the editor make an effort to obtain material here, but that he wouldn't be forced to print low qualitywork just to achieve a balance. The term "roughly" was also inserted to give the editor leeway. In a n sw e r i n g Flora's correspondence, it was pointed out that the publication's policy clearly state that non-staffers have no power of censorship unless there is a legal question involved. Richard Hass said thatregardless of what happens, Flora has the power as chief executive to halt the printing of Jeopardy.Hass said that the positive aspects of the publication ought to be weighed against the extremelynegative possibilities. "Admittedly, we can't fire you, stop the printing or halt the distribution of this issue. All we will be able to do is to eventually look at the impact the issue will have, and decide if we want tocontinue funding Jeopardy. Hass said that talking to Flora gave him the impression that most of thecomplaints centered around a story entitled "Kinda God." "So what I'm asking you (Kyle) to do is to pull that one particular story." It was clarified that Hass was asking only on a personal level, for the councilcould make no such proposal unless the Jeopardy story would be illegal to print. Garber said, "It seems certain that there is going to be a flap. It seems, then, that the council ought to render its opinion withno hint of a threat, unless there is the distinct possibility of legal action against the college as a result of printing this issue." The body t h e r e f o re unanimously adopted a motion to contact the stateAttorney General and ascertain if anything in the issue would violate any public law, and to postpone any action on Jeopardy until such information could be received. Contacted after the meeting, Kyle said, "Iam willing to stand by the first amendment, which guarantees freedom of the press and freedom ofspeech, and I am perfectly willing to abide by any legal decisions made. "However, I do regret thatpolitical and financial questions be placed ahead of freedom of the press and freedom of speech." TimKyle, editor ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 7 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front'' Ffiday, ApHPf, 1'97^' " Teacher Corps program receives federal funds ProjectInvolvement, a T e a c h e r Corps program c o n d u c t e d by Western's education department for thepast two years, has received funding from the U.S. Office of Education, Congressman Lloyd Meedsrecently announced. The project has been allocated $230,000 for the first year of the two-year program.Project Involvement is designed to provide training toward teacher certification with an emphasis onteaching rural disadvantaged and ethnic minority children. The current program will enroll 37 TeacherCorps interns in five northwest Washington school districts. Recruitments will be taken immediately from Western and other campuses throughout the U.S. Interns receive $90 a week for their work, tuition and$ 15 a week extra for each dependent. According to Leonard Savitch, director of the program, ProjectInvolvement is a field-centered approach to teaching. The participants can earn most of their professional education requirements while working as interns in a school will also apply toward fifth-yearrequirements for a standard teaching certificate. "One purpose of the program is to encourage peoplefrom low-income and minority groups to enter teaching," Savitch said. The school districts which will beparticipating in Project Involvement include Anacortes, La Conner, Arlington, Cape Flattery andQuillayute Valley. Anyone interested in joining Project Involvement may obtain f u r t h e r informationand application forms from the Teacher Corps Office in Miller Hall 403. setting. The interns will take part in classroom and community activities, independent study, seminars and workshops in the field. Theywill be supervised by experienced teachers. Project Involvement training, which will begin with on-campus workshops in August, is open to students who have completed their junior year. On completion of two years of internship and course work, students will receive a bachelor's degree in education and a provisional teaching certificate.

Peanuts, popcorn, politicians... I still maintain that the circus is coming to town. Referring to Tuesday's editorial on the American political system and how it doesn't work, I feel furtherdiscussion on the subject is imperative. Sitting in Carver Gym Tuesday night, listening to a mostarticulate and extremely effective Julian Bond present arguments for participation in our electoral process,I almost felt like eating my words. Almost. Bond maintains that "Nixon must go." I cannot refute him. Healso adamantly asserts that it is the responsibility of young voters to attempt to change the system fromwithin in order to insure an equitable, democratic government. There is no denying that Blacks areoppressed, that there is rampant poverty in America, and that our current political leaders appearineffective to a great majority of this country's citizens. The problem as I see it, however, concerns theinaction of political leaders in dealing with these and other problems. The American way of life is built onpriorities. We live in a country controlled by corporate enterprise and the wealthy. It seems as if ourpolitical leaders feel an obligation to these factions, rather than to the majority of Americans, howeverimpoverished they may be. The priorities of our elected officials tend toward those individuals contributingthe most monetarily to the economic advancement of our society. In other words, oppressed minoritiesunable to support our politicians economically, such as Blacks, lower class Americans, the elderly andstudents, are seemingly "left out in the cold" when equal representation time occurs. To believe thatworking for change from within is the solution is an idealist's dream serving only to delude the poor, theworking class and those who are oppressed. I still maintain the political system is inequitable,undemocratic and truly not within the tenets of the American way. Subversive as it may sound, I stillchoose the cynic's path, which, in this instance, just happens to be apathy. .

NEWSROOM: 676-3161 ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 On the home front by Steve Johnston Read this column andthen forget it Ever received one of those letters from the college which say, "If you don't read this notice,your enrollment will be terminated." Just take that notice and carefully fold it in half, then tear it down themiddle and throw it away. Just before the start of this quarter l made the mistake of reading one of thenumerous notices which come through the mail. This one informed me, in crisp little words, I was nolonger enrolled at Western. As most students will remember, they received letters saying if they didn'tpay their tuition by March 17 they could not attend the college any longer and their turn would be taken by some other player, no doubt more deserving. But then other little notes came through the mail sayingfinancial aids students did not have to pay on March 17 because the government or some other generous body was picking up their tabs. As 1 believe everything 1 read, 1 took this to heart and did not pay mytuition, being a needy student and having a loan to pay part ot the tuition. In the past I've paid my part ofthe tuition a few days after school started and everyone always seemed happy with this arrangement.However, the night before school started I happened to take out a letter I received from the Financial AidsOffice and read it over. The letter started off, "READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS. THIS IS A NEW PROCEDURE:' As I've already said about not reading letters from the college, especially ones starting off with capital letters and saying it is important, I started to fold it up when I glanced down andread the second rule for the new procedure. It said, "2.If you do not have enough financial aid to coveryour tuition/fees, a check must be returned with the billing notice to pay the difference." I happened toknow my billing notice was- still in the envelope this new procedure letter came in, so 1 read on to seewhat the prize would be for not returning.my billing notice, along with the money. The next line told me. "If these conditions are not met by March 17, your advance registration will be canceled and your classcards put back." This means becoming a non-person, a man without a college. But what the letter saidnext really turned the screw: "You will then be required to go through late registration after March 27."This is one little horror no senior can afford to go through, especially when there are classes that must beincluded in the schedule and are not offered until next spring quarter. It was at this point little beads ofsweat started to roll and I figured I really blew it. But a little ray of hope came through when I foundanother l e t t e r I picked up somewhere. This letter was entitled, "REGISTRATION CANCELLATIONINFORMATION" and was very to the point. It told me what happened to students not paying by March 17, they would be exiled until they coughed up the money. Then it said a strange thing, "Students who areon financial aid through the Financial Aids Office will not be penalized." There was something wrong here. Could it be the Registration Office, or whoever sent out the second notice, did not know about the letter"from the financial aids office canceling my registration? Doesn't the right hand know what the left handisjloing over in Old Main? Will the swallows come back to Capistrano? These and many other questionsHashed through my mind. 1 spent a poor night tossing and turning and working up endless argumentswith whoever was responsible for slipping my class cards back into those slots and messing up my life."Look here," I would say, "it says in this letter that financial aids students would not have to pay byMarch 17 and you had no right to slip my cards into the slots." But from past experience of trying toexplain some mix-up to the administration, 1 knew I would lose. "I'm sorry, but my hands are tied," would be the answer. My cards would slay and 1 would go to the end of the line. The first day of school I ran up to the college and jumped into line with the other students who did not pay their tuition or committedsome other crime. All the classes 1 needed were open except one and it was the one 1 really needed toget out of the game, so 1 went running across campus to find the teacher and try to blue-slip into theclass. The teacher said it was strange 1 wanted into his class because I was already registered once forit. He dug out my class card to show he wasn't fooling as some teachers are prone to do in times of great need. So it was off to the Registrar's Office to see what was happening. They said they didn't know andsent me back to registration. They didn't know what was going on or what 1 was talking about-by now 1was foaming at the mouth and screaming. But finally someone came up and said 1 didn't have to worryand if 1 didn't want to pay my tuition for a few weeks it was just fine with them. J was also told my classcards were sent to my teachers, and what was the big sweat anyway? I started to tell them, said the hellwith it and went to class. ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 7 - Page 3 ---------- Frjday, ARril 7, 19.72 Western Front Guest commentary "How does it feel to be a Black Student atWestern Washington State College?" is a question whose answer has been unduely postponed. Surelyall the Blacks on campus do not feel the same, but for the vast majority, the feelings are comparitivelymutual. A Black walking through the grounds of Western seems to float like an invisible man, stridingalmost unnoticed, catching a smile or a glance here or there. The degree of transparency which mostBlacks experience on this campus would be almost totally unimaginable to most White students. The t r u t h is: Black invisibility is not a phenomenon of recent occurrence. Blacks have been invisible forcenturies. From the darkest depths of Africa, Blacks were herded. together to be shipped to America.Once in America, Black women were stripped of their clothes and pride and raped without passion orguilt. Black men were chained, beaten and made to believe that being Black was. a curse rather than agift. Decades after slavery has ended, Blacks still have not gained their visibility in the eyes of Whites.Blacks are looked upon as objects of entertainment and exploitation, rather than as men possessingqualities of compassion, humility and intelligence. To date, the inner qualities of Blacks have not beendiscovered by Whites. Until the qualities are viewed with clear and sincere vision, Blacks will remaininvisible. The question then arises in my mindâ€”How can a man hate another man that he has neverseen? Eugene Mitchell Deadline today for Free U The N o r t h w e s t Free University has extended its registration until 3 p.m. today at the Viking Union Plaza. Registration was scheduled to close April 4,but was extended because people are slower to register this quarter, a Free U coordinator said.However, several classes are closed now. These include S a i l i n g , Hatha Yoga, Philosophy, CreativeMovement (Dance Therapy), Spanish Conversation, Introduction to Crochet, Gardening, Gestalt andAuto Maintenance. Sailing, one of the most popular classes, . had. to .turn away more than ,20 people,,the . coordinator said,.

If initiated this proposal could expand, intwo or three years, to cover grass and other drugs that are not physically addictive. Mr. Sundquist mightconsider the old cliche that "grass leads to hard stuff-heroin" and thus justify to himself inclusion of allEthnics reorganize T h e I n t e r - E t h n ic Communication Committee (IECC) is in the process ofreorganization. Ike Price, coordinator, and a few other people are trying to get the IECC back on its feetfrom the slump it took winter quarter. They're going to set it up in such a fashion that it will be a placefor all students to go to get ethnic books, papers and magazines. Price said they'd like one memberfrom each ethnic group on the committee. The IECC will be doing publicity for anything ethnic orientedon campus. Their office is in Viking Union 213. drugs in the program. B e i n g a s o p h o m o recontemplating going through two more years of school here, I might like to blow a number to relaxoccasionally. How would you like it if your roomy picked up $10 to buy another lid by turning you in forselling to him the last one you had? I do not advocate the use of heroin. I just feel that this money could be spent more fruitfully. Educating the potential user is a better shield against heroin use than a reward program. The reward system would not eliminate the demand for heroin. It would just eliminate a lot ofthe supply, and therefore raise the price. The addict has to have the stuff, and might have to steal morein order to supply his habit. The higher price and risk would not stop the potential user (most high school and college students can dig up the money if they really want to get a fix). In fact, some might consider it more adventurous and exciting because of the added risk and attention given the group involved inheroin dealing. It could glamorize the use of heroin. Education, on the other hand, could be used as atool to eliminate the glamorous aspect that draws some people to hard drugs by stressing thedrawbacks and problems of possible drug addiction and dependence. A counseling center for theBellingham area could serve as a place where confused people could go and talk about their problems.Loneliness, anxiety and other emotional problems draw some people toward drug dependency andaddiction. Talking about your problems and understanding them does not stop them from existing. Itdoes not "cure" them. But it might eliminate the use of heroin as a "cure." The reward system eliminates some of the supply, but not the potential market. Lee Valentine Sophomore Psychology 50*OFF ONANY LARGE OR GIANT PIZZA EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH STUDENT I.D.

O'Shea's plight was first noticed by Tod Shioyama, a junior from Kent majoring in chemistry,who walked by the jammed elevator and heard O'Shea yelling, "Anybody out there?" Shioyama couldn'topen the door so he went down to the checkout desk and told the clerk. Hearsey was subsequentlynotified of the problem and came up with the key. "This is the second time we've been stuck withsomething like this," Hearsey said. "A guy and a girl were shut in one earlier." That happened about amonth ago, Hearsey added. An expert was sent out from Sound Elevator and the elevator was put backin operation, he said. Hearsey said the earlier problem had apparently been due to dust getting into arelay switch. Now it will probably have to be cleaned again, he said. O'Shea was appropriatelyenlightened (or disillusioned, as the case may be) by the experience in isolation. "I thought it mlyhappened in the movies," he said. Upper class can receive JC credit A junior or a senior can nowattend a community college for credit. Previously, a student could transfer lower-division credit from afour-year institution at any time during his college career at Western, but he could not transfercommunity college credit once he became a junior. The Academic Council recently agreed on thechange partly because it believes that the religious training, academic specialty or prestige of somecommunity colleges as well as the lower cost attracts many upper classmen. The council recommended that a comprehensive study be made of the feasibility of allowing credits earned at community colleges to be accepted in the same way and under the same policy guidelines as comparable course creditearned at a senior institution. Four-year institutions - will allow up to 120 lower-division credits to betransferred from another senior institution but r e s t r i c t l o w e r - d i v i s i on community collegecredit to 90 or to 96. Although this alternative may be cheaper for both students and taxpayers, it maythreaten W e s t e r n ' s income and enrollment, according to an ad hoc committee report. Indiansorganize to save first building on campus Pembroke, N.D.-Lumbee and Tuscarora Indians here areorganizing a nation-wide campaign to save a building from the first all-Indian college in the U.S. It isknown as "Old Main," and is on the campus of Pembroke State University. It was built in 1923. "If itwere the first White college in the U.S., or the first Black college in the U.S., there would be no question as to the necessity of preserving, whatever the cost and whatever the effort. Is not an Indian collegemore unusual than either of these?" E a r l Huges Oxedine, a spokesman of the Lumbees, asked.When in 1923, a large $75,000 brick building emerged among the humble homes of Pembroke, it was asignificant thing for the Indians thereâ€”they had a college now, and they were going to go places in this world. As the segregation laws tumbled, however, the college became less and less Indian, and moreand more White. Now, Indian students are a small minority there. And seemingly without anysensitivity, the state now wants to tear down that brick building that started the community off in itseducation-Old Main is doomed to go. A S. SERVICES ARE HERE TO HELP!!

The Whatcom County Physicians Service insurance program, which is being proposed forimplementation next year, has 14 more areas of coverage than the present plan. Twelve of these newprovisions are accident expense benefits. These are: hospital room and. board, hospital extra s e r v i ce s , physician fees, prescription drugs, ambulance fee, injury to sound natural t e e t h , o p e r a t i n groom a n e s t h e s i a , l a b o r a t o ry services-medications, plaster casts, appliance rental, physical therapy and private duty nurses. Under the sickness expense benefits, doctors office calls will be paidin full up to 30 days, renewable after 90 days. The accidental death and dismemberment provision under the present insurance plan will not be offered under the new plan. Under the present plan, $ 1,000 isreceived for an accidental death or the loss of any two members of the body. $500 is paid out to thosewho suffer the loss of one hand, foot or eye. The cost of the present insurance plan is $12.85 perquarter. The new plan would increase the rates to $13.85 per quarter or $41.55 a year. For students withone or more dependents, the present cost is $27.50. This would be increased to $29.65 per quarter or$89 a year. Besides the additional coverage, the new insurance plan also has improved the coverage inother respects. Accidents under the old plan were reimbursed a maximum of $1,000. Under the newplan the student will be covered for 80 per cent of the hospital bills. He pays the additional 20 per centhimself. Also, the present plan has provisions for diagnostic x-ray and laboratory out-patients. Thecoverage is $50 maximum per policy year, x-ray and lab combined. In the new plan, this is paid at 80per cent or up to $125 per school year. This is an increase of 150 per cent or $75. Surgical expensebenefits were also increased. The present plan only covers for $400 per schedule. The new plan pays for 80 per cent of the cost. H e a l t h S e r v i c es representatives feel that at least 50 per cent of thecollege community will have to take out the policy in order for it to work properly. This quarter only about 35 per cent of the students are under the present insurance plan. Representatives of the W.C.P.S. said that the W.C.P.S. is not an insurance company but an organization of doctors who agree to chargecertain fees for specific problem. The organization's purpose is that everyone who pays for the plan andstays health, will actually pay for the sick. In accordance with Bill F-9 passed by legislature during fallof 1971, here are" the percentages of the legislators' attendance for last quarter: Chuck Broches, 100;Mike Cosper, 100; Gary Duvall, 87; Bub Ezell, 45; Jim Fors, 67; Frank Gardiner, 66; Pam Heath, 100;Jeff Johnston, 100; Paul King, 84; Darrell Peterson, 66; Rhet Van Paepheghem, 33.

Smith, who began work thisweek at Western's television studio, is a 19-year veteran of Seattle's KING-TV who says he sees noreason Western can't have an operating studio if he can just get the programs on the air to thecommunity. "Nobody thinks anything takes place here because nobody sees anything that takes placein. here," Smith says of Western's television facilities. And the problem is not equipment, either,according to Smith, who notes that the equipment in Western's studio is better than the equipmentKING had when'he started. The first step, he feels, is to start feeding the programming produced oncampus to the community through the local cable TV system. This would allow people to see the results of work at the studio and would also put production staffs under the pressure of an actual productionschedule. Smith started at KING as an engineer 19 years ago, and gradually worked around to the p r o d u c t i o n side of the operation. During his years at KING, he was involved with production anddirection of such shows as "Wunda Wunda," "Ski Nanny," "Open Season," "Success Story" and nightly news shows'. He is also, along with another KING engineer, credited with the invention of an ultralongtelephoto lens which KING and other stations have used since for broadcasting the yearly Seafairhydroplane races from Lake Washington. His last three years at KING, Smith directed the station'sSeafair race coverage during his last three years at KING. Smith has also done several network shows,both for NBC and for a sports network. He could have moved up in the commercial television industry,but notes that "if you really want to go somewhere in commercial TV you have to go to New York"â€”amove which Smith decided not to make. Every time he was about to ask someone from the East whatkinds of positions were available there, they would ask him about work in the Pacific Northwest first, hesaid. Two years ago, Smith retired from KING after buying a pizza restaurant franchise. He came backto television, he says, because "You kind of miss it if you've spent your whole life in it." He feels thateducational television can be more than televising of lectures and^ "more than just a play thing."Television, Al Smith feels, can be used to "make the community aware of what happens at college."Woodcarving class offers Indian art A woodcarving class will be offered this quarter by the College ofEthnic Studies. "Cultural Experience of the Northwest Indian Woodcarver," Ethnic Studies 375, will begin Monday. The four-credit course, open to all students, is taught by Gary Hillaire. Hillaire, a LummiIndian, has extensive experience in both t e a c h i n g and l e a r n i ng woodcarving. He has exhibitedhis work in Africa, Israel and throughout the United States. Much of his knowledge has been handeddown from five generations of woodcarvers in his family. The class meets Monday and Wednesday, 3-5p.m. in room 205 Art Building. It will involve both lecture and actual practice. Students can register inEdens Hall 119 or on the first day of class. Applications accepted for Summer Stock Applications arenow being accepted for Western's second Summer Stock summer theater workshop. Participants in the program will receive up to 15 hours of credit from Western and will be involved in all phases of summertheater production. Those wishing to join Summer Stock should pick up an application from WilliamGregory, drama chairman, and may register for speech 397a, Advanced Workshop for a block of 15credits, or for drama classes listed in the summer catalog. Although there are only 45 spaces open forthe workshop, Gregory said that those applying have a 90 per cent chance of being accepted. If morethan 45 students apply auditions will be held. The tentative list of plays includes "The Child Buyer,"The Man Who Came to Dinner," two musicals and a Shakespearean comedy. Two children's plays,directed by Summer Stock members, will also be presented. Gregory, who has compared Western'sSummer Stock with Oregon's Shakespearean festival at Ashland, said that the plays would be on a level with, and hopefully above, any other college in the country. Western community active in Democraticcaucuses If the March 7 caucuses are any indication, the Western community may be making more ofa dent in the political scene than might be expected. "This is the first time that students have gotten into the local parties," Dean Powers, a democratic platform committee member, said. Bill Scott, Whatcomcounty coordinator for the McGovern for President campaign and a librarian at Western said that 64Western students, faculty, a d m i n i s t r a t o r s and staff members were selected as delegates to the county democratic convention. This number includes 35 students, four of which came from the countyand 31 of which came from city precincts. Out of the 144 citizens of Bellingham chosen to bedelegates, 57 were from Western. In addition to the 31 students, this includes 17 faculty members, onestaff member, two administrators and six spouses of college-related people. Out in the county, threefaculty members and four students were elected as delegates to the county democratic convention. The Republicans were not so many in number. According! to Dr. Robert Teshera, associate professor ofgeography and chairman of the Republican platform committee, less than a dozen members of theWestern community were elected as Republican delegates. Of the eight names given, there were fivefaculty members and three students. Because the delegate lists do not separate students and facultyfrom the rest of the community, it is hard to tell who's who. "I have no way of classifying them," Teshera said. "I would just bet anything I've overlooked a bunch." He cited AS President Tod Sundquist as amember of the platform committee. According to Teshera, the purpose of the platform committee is to"pull together a statement of principles and positions representative of the Republican Party in Whatcom County." Upcoming are the county caucuses, in which 29 delegates from each party will be elected tothe state and district conventions. Democratic county caucuses will be held April 29, and democraticdelegates hope to still be on the slate when the state, and finally, the Miami Beach national conventionsroll around later this year. The democratic strategy is to try to sway their 29 delegates to be for a liberalcandidate such as George McGovern in place of the more conservative Henry Jackson. It is an either-orproposition. In the state and district conventions, all 29 Whatcom County democrats must eithersupport the more conservative or the more liberal wing of the party. Powers thanks his own Informationand Volunteer Center for helping to get more students involved in this year's precinct caucuses. Powers"conservatively" estimates that IVC registered 500 voters and gave out a lot of information concerningcaucuses. Why the sudden involvement by students in party caucuses? According to Powers, "Partiesare more acceptable to students and minorities . . . I think they'll find that parties are open." "I think it isgood that students are active," says Bill Scott. "They're certainly not in the pocket of the faculty." "It's a workable system if people take time to do it." Bellingham language bank organizing to help visitors byALICE COLLINGWOOD If you were a foreigner in Seattle or Bellingham and needed an interpreter, youcould probably get help from the language bank in either city. The Language Bank of Seattle was begun in 1967 after a Pak stani seaman died that summer in a Seattle hospital because he was not luckyenough to find an interpreter to relate his symptoms to the doctors. W e s t e r n ' s InformationVolunteer Center (IVC) is in the process of creating a language bank for this area. At this time, they have eight languages on file. S e a t t l e ' s language bank, which has 86 languages on file, is sponsored bythe Altrusa Club, a b u s i n e s s w o m e n ' s service organization. The bank is funded throughprojects of the club such as a recent fashion show and salad supper. The U. S. State Department,feeling that the ailing Pakistani seaman could have been helped had language resources been a v a i l ab l e , contacted the University of Washington foreign students' office. One of the people there suggested it as a project for the Altrusa Club, according to Eva Parker, chairman of the language bank. Work wasbegun on the project in September, 1967, and the bank officially opened for business on March 1, 1968. In initial library research, club members found 112 different languages and dialects. Mrs. Parker is proud of the fact that the bank has covered so many languages in the Seattle area. The first volunteers wereforeign students from UW, but these volunteers were not ab available as it was hoped they would be sothe bank turned more to volunteers from the community. They now have almost 300 volunteers listed intheir files. When a call is received at the answering service (MA2-6900), the language needed is lookedup in the files. Mrs. Parker said that "within minutes" a three-way conversation can be set up among the answering service, the caller and the interpreter. Mrs. Parker said the answering service receives atleast 10 calls a week. About o n e - t h i r d of these are emergencies and serious matters, with theremainder being tourist or business oriented. She said the service is used mostly by hospitals and thepolice, but they also do a lot of work for the immigration service and social workers. The language bankalso has volunteers for sign language now. If an interpreter volunteer needs to go to the caller, the bankprovides transportation through an account with a Seattle cab company. A small article about theLanguage Bank of Seattle appeared in the February issue of Woman's Day magazine, and Mrs. Parkerhas received 88 letters from all over the country in response to that article requesting information onorganizing a language bank. Although the IVC's language bank is still in the formative stages, they havehad good response to it. They expect most of their calls to come from hospitals and the police.Volunteers for the IVC's bank will be on a three-month call to coincide with the quarters. At the end ofthat period, the volunteers will be called to see if they will c o n t i n u e for the next three-month period. The languages so far on file are Spanish, German, French, Swahilian, Japanese, Dutch, Indonesian and Sundanese. Volunteers or people needing interpreters can call 676-3460 or 676-3120. Art students aregiven first place Seven Western student artists are $30 richer after each won first place in separatecategories in the Student Art Show. The students were picked from a group of 66 pieces submitted.Two hundred artists submitted their work forjudging and this was narrowed down to the 66. Their workwent on display March 27. Those students winning $30 were Michael Patterson, Mark Ota, CarlenaColosimo, Darrel J. Cowan, John Sabee, Rod del Pozo, and Buckley Terpenning. The pieces werejudged during Spring break by George Thomas, Curator of Whatcom County Museum; Tony Onley,University of British Columbia Art Professor; James Doulong, University of Washington Art student; andMargaret Macamat, also a UW art student. Drug Info Watch for smack, MDA Latest rumors from ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 7 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, April 7, 1972 Western Front 7 Bond: Vote Nixon out of office by SUE GAWRYS America'sbiggest problem is racial conflict. Because Richard Nixon is perpetuating the problem and probablyworsening the problem, he must go. The only way he'll go is if people, especially students, vote him outof office. This was Black politician Julian Bond's terse message to a large audience in Carver GymTuesday night. The 32-year-old state representative from Georgia disagreed with the National UrbanCoalition's terming of "paralysis of will" as America's greatest ill. "That single problem is race. It is racewhich elected our president in 1968, race which colors all our lives," Bond said. To contain and eradicate racism requires a growth in p o l i t i c a l a c t i v i sm and organization between now and November,he said. "It may nearly be too late," Julian Bond, Georgia State representative, addressing students inCarver Gym, urges youthful voters to oust Richard Nixon in 1972. Photo by Jim Thomson Two quarterstudent teaching he said. It is difficult to involve oneself in politics, he noted, because of the cynicismmany Americans feel about the process. .. "It can't be done if you find solace in drugs, music or the en n o b l i n g s a c r i f i c e of self-imposed poverty," he said. The â€¢ gradual de-escalation ofAmerican involvement in Vietnam ("when you're number 365, the urgency escaped a bit"), the fear ofreprisal for activism following Kent State events and drugs plus the lack of "stick-to-it-ive-ness"Americans characteristically have all contributed to the apparent absence of student activism in the'70's, Bond said. He likened this era to the introspective, self-improvement times of the 1950's, wheresocial change was believed almost impossible to implement. The stakes for Black people are muchhigher in the presidential election than for White people, Bond said. Whoever becomes president willdetermine whether Black people will progress, stay in the same place or slip behind, he said. "Almostanyone besides the i n c u m b e n t will do (for president)â€”someone who will deliver reality instead ofrhetoric to the Black community," Bond said. He blamed Nixon and Congress for the massiveunemployment facing Blacks, for the wretched conditions in American city slums, for the inequities thathaven't been resolved. Striking out at "socialism for Lockheed, welfare capitalism for the poor,"Nixonomics, Mitchell mixups, Federal Bureau of Intimidation, the "hillbilly Hitler from Alabama" (GeorgeWallace), Calif. Gov. Ronald Reagan, the military and the Supreme Court, Bond said that Blackpoliticians "believe to a person that Nixon has to go." He repeatedly emphasized that Nixon's removalwould only come about through active involvement in politics. "It is politics that decides in the end whatkind of life, if any, we will have, what kind of world, if any, we will have, what kind of future if any, we willhave," Bond said. "People can be strong by o r g a n i z i n g p o l i t i c a l l y, economically and inevery other form and fasion." His personal choice for the president tends toward "any candidate runningnow for the presidency whose name is not Nixon or Wallace." When challenged on specifics where heand Nixon differed, Bond replied, "We differ on his continuing as president." Specifics he listed includedt h e no-knock policy in Washington D.C., economic policies, aquittal of the National Guardsmen atKent State and the n on -enforcement of the 1954 Supreme Court decision of desegregation. His favorite candidates at this time include George McGovern and Shirley Chisholm, "but if they fall by the wayside, I'll find somebody else." His political aspirations presently involve campaiging for r e e l e c t i o n for his state representative seat in Georgia. He'll be a delegate at the Democratic National Convention inMiami in July. "I'd like to seek a higher office but it's not possible at this time." Bond briefly touched ona variety of subjects. BLACK STUDENTS AT WESTERN: "You do have a chance at a college diploma, a passport to a certain lifestyle, affluence, power. Bui you ought never to forget those less fortunate who couldn't come here." BUSSING: "It's not the bussing people object to-it's the little Black bodies on thebus. They don't want integrated schools." He said Blacks favor bussing to achieve quality education, but class integration, the highering of the socio-economic status, is needed. N A T I O N A L BLACKCONVENTION: "The fact that it took place in itself is significant." The most significant thing is thatBlacks had to form organizations at state and local levels to plan for the convention, something which he hopes will continue. L E G A L I Z A T I O N OF MARIJUANA: "So many people who ought to beconcerned about whether people are living or dying are those concerned with smoking in front of thegym." He didn't list it as one. of his top 20 priorities. THE MILITARY: "I don't think you can have themilitary without a way. They'll make up a war. They've got to go, too." Innovative program wins award bySTEVE GARVEY If Western education students think their one quarter of student teaching is their besttraining, what do they think after they have completed two? "They're about unanimous in responding tothis kind of experience," Leonard Savitch, director of student teaching said. "They like the longer, morepractical experience on their own." "The program is not just observation," Savitch explained. Studentsspend their first quarter studying materials, planning individual programs and trying them immediately on students in the public schools. In the second quarter, the education students are given temporaryteaching certificates, and with participating teacher, assume responsibility for a classroom. About 80students have completed the program and 50 are currently enrolled. Currently the program is limited toSeattle, but next year programs will be started in Bellingham, Everett and South King County. Onlythree of the 80 failed to complete the work. Next year, Savitch expects 250 students in the four resident centers and another 600 in the regular one quarter program. '"I don't think you can learn to teach bysomeone telling you how to do it," Savitch said, referring to the one quarter program. The traditionalmethod is to place a student teacher into a classroom to observe a trained teacher and in the last fewweeks â€¢of the quarter, try taking over a class. "It's my expectation that within three years, thetraditional teacher training program will be phased out, and I'm glad it will be," Savitch said. Herbert Hite, chairman of the education department, doesn't want. to. force the two quarter program and hopes for an option, but he expects that at least half of the student teachers will be in the program within two years.The two men admit there are legitimate reservations about the program. The first is that the program hasa "tendency to put down the intellectual part and c o n c e n t r a t e on trivial performance," Hite said."Experience shows this is not what happens." The second is that increased involvement with teacher o r g a n i z a t i o n s in the communities will result in less college control over the curriculum. To certifyteachers under the program, Western, school districts and the local teacher professional organizationmust approve the students. .. The department is justified in their pride in the program. This year theAmerican Association of Colleges for Teacher Education gave them a certificate of recognition for having one of the ten most innovative teacher-education programs in the nation. Two quarters of studentteaching is becoming a national trend, according to Savitch, with Washington leading the way. All thestate colleges have similar programs. The program, that integrates theory and practice with supervisionby teachers and college professors, could be made mandatory. The state legislature has recommended that students work earlier and longer in the field, that faculty spend time in classroom situations andthat the two groups utilize the experts working in the public schools. The program meets thoseconditions. Public school teachers have expressed a preference for students in the two-quarter programand they could refuse to take traditional student teachers. The proj ram is considered more realisticthan the t r a d i t i o n a l one-quarter experience. Students in the longer session work with Westernfaculty in adapting their work to meet different situations in the several schools they work in their firstquarter. "There is no ceiling on competence," Savitch said, and any teaching beyond that necessary togain students a provisional teaching certificate is to their advantage. It also might get them a job in aglutted market. Third World movie shows Brazilian director's work by DEBBIE HUDSON One of theearlier films of the Cinema Novo from Brazil is the powerful "Black God, White Devil," which will beshown at 7 and 9 p.m. tonight in L-4. The award-winning film explores the predicament of the poorpeasants in Brazil and their vain fight for something that will change their lives. On an allegorical plane,which was characteristic of the earlier Cinema Novo films, a poor Brazilian cowhand tries to solve theplight of his people's misery by devoting himself first to a mystic and then a bandit. A lot of Americanand European film makers take social problems such as violence, corruption or sexual taboos andplace them on film for the sake of film and story. But Glauber Rocha, director of "Black God, WhiteDevil," has taken the p o l i t i c a l , economic and legendary environment in Brazil and has made a filmfor the sake of deprived and oppressed Park boardok's a r bo re turn site The Bellingham Park Boardhas approved a basic proposal for a joint city-college arboretum on Sehome Hill. The basic concept to be followed will probably be to "leave eveything about like it is now," said Park Superintendent PhilSchwind. The next step, according to Schwind, will be to form an arboretum planning committee tomake recommendations about what is actually to be done with the land. The city owns about 100 acres of the hill area and Schwind said that no matter what happens, the property would still remain the city's. The acceptance of the proposal is following a trend toward giving recreation land to the people to enjoyand more is yet to come, Schwind said. people everywhere. .

The Antioch School of Law will be the first law school to incorporate a law firm, the Urban Law Institute, into its academic program. Of prime consideration to the school will be the rights of poverty andminority groups and problems of public interest. The school's aim is to turn out lawyers qualified tounderstand and fill the needs of these groups. The concept of the school was developed by JeanCamper Cahn, a graduate of Swathmore and Yale School and director of ULI, a firm noted for its serviceto the poor. Students entering the school will begin their studies by familiarizing themselves with the life style of the underprivileged. During the first six weeks, they will make applications for welfare and foodstamps, stay overnight in jail, and spend a few days in the home of an inner-citv family. Following thisorientation, the students will fill their three years at school studying academic courses and applyingthem through the law firm, such as a medical student combines classroom knowledge with hospitalwork. Further significant departures from the standard law school procedure include: legal services forclients continuing through a twelveâ€” month period, less reliance on LSAT scores required foradmission with m o r e emphasis on the applicant's ability to perform as a lawyer, increased enrollmentof students from poor and minority groups and a program to produce certified legal technicians.Applications are being taken at this time for the September classes, and as of February over 2,100requests have been received by the school. Additional information may be had by writing to the AntiochSchool of Law, Suite 509, 1145 Nineteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. Better students forWestern is admission's continual goal Attracting the most possible of the best possible students toWestern-that has always been a major function of the admissions office, and this year is no exception.Directed by Eugene Omey, the admissions office has visited about 100 high schools and all Washington community colleges so far this academic year. The object of this effort is to answer questions aboutWestern, and clarify transfer and admissions procedures. Correspondence, much of it in person, will benearly continuous during April and May. Joining Omey in representing Western are Richard Riehl,assistant director of admissions; Calvin Mathews, director of college relations; and Joseph S. BowmanIII, assistant dean of students for minority affairs. Although most of the traveling is done by these fourprinciples, there are many individuals outside of the a d m i s s i o n s office also representing thecollege. W e s t e r n students and graduates often provide useful information to their former highschools; another valuable source of advertising if a factual or academic approach is employed. Thesepeople, and others, will be serving as ambassadors for Western throughout the state. "We answerquestions about specific departments and programs," explained Omey. "Generally, we give peopledescriptive information, and just talk to them." Two other promotional ideas are being considered by theadmissions office. One is to send taped dialogues, questions and answers about Western to interestedhigh schools. Another device Omey hopes to employ would be a 20-minute film on Western. "We aredefinitely going to be working on this film," Omey said in an interview last week. Omey, predicting aperiod of relative numerical stability in student admissions, will be c o n s i d e r i n g transfer andfreshman applications to Western for much of the rest of this academic year.

Ramey also said, "I support and applaud Tod (Sundquist's) effort to reduce the amount of heroinin Bellingham, and I hope it works." "Smack doesn't just hurt the user," he said, "it also hurts drugusers, because of increased legal pressure; and society at large, because of the rip-offs, burns, andother methods required to raise the money for smack." In a related development, Ramey noted that hisoffice has received a report that someone in Bellingham is selling heroin as cocaine. This appears, hesaid, to be an effort to establish a market. New school planned for Bellingham area A Montessorimethod school for children between the ages of two and seven may come to Bellingham through theefforts of Montessori teachers Vivian Cyrus and Rosamund Davis. Miss Cyrus said The Children'sSchool will let children learn spontaneously without any external pressure as opposed to the pressure ofthe typical school room situation. She said that "we usually tend to refer to people as being too youngto learn when it should be the opposite. From birth to age seven are the years a child is more likely toretain knowledge." The two teachers will be giving talks in Bellingham next week to "educate the public about Montessori." There will be talks Monday at Assumption High School and Tuesday and Thursdayat the Garden Street Methodist Church. All talks will be from 8 to 9:30 p.m. Application forms for theschool, which will have a limited enrollment, will be available at the meetings. ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 7 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, April 7, 1972 Western Front 9 Pictures talk. Some little boys don't. Some inner-city ghettos have special schools. For little boys who don't talk. Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn, so afraidof failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do anything at which they might fail. Some don'ttalk. Some don't listen. Most don't behave. And all of them don't learn. One day someone asked us tohelp. Through Kodak, cameras and film were distributed to teachers. The teachers gave the cameras tothe kids and told them to take pictures. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said "This is my house." "This is my dog." "This is where I like to hide." They began to explain, to describe, to communicate. And once the channels ofcommunication had been opened, they began to learn. We're helping the children of the inner-city. Andwe're also helping the adults. We're involved in inner-city job programs. To train unskilled people inuseful jobs. vWhat does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we're showing how our products can help a teacherâ€”and maybe creating a whole new market. And we're also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film. But more than that, we're cultivating alert, educatedcitizens. Who will someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it. More than a business. ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 7 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, April 7, 1972 Western Front Sports Netters open year against WildcatsWestern's varsity tennis team will take to the courts this weekend against Central in E l l e n s b u r gand Bellevue Community College in Bellevue. .The squad, coached by Don Weisman, has threereturning varsity lettermen.

Bowman's team of nine, four women and five men, and a twelve man team from Kenya took part in four meets during their stay. While Bowman had neverworked with the people he traveled with, he said their prior training reduced the need for coaching totechnical points. A member of the traveling list of AAU coaches and the Northwest chairman of theAAU. Bowman was chosen to lead the tour which climaxed at the Australian Nationals at Perth. Ateach of the four meets Bowman said his team was bar raged by reporters and television cameras as the Australians sought publicity for their Olympic team. It must have worked, said Bowman. Track officialsat the nationals said there had not been crowds as large as this year's since 1964. The two standoutsfrom the American team were Wayne Collett who went undefeated in all his 400 meter runs, and SamCaruthers who jumped 17 feet 1 inch to set the Australian pole valut record and win the decathlon in thenationals. Bowman was sorry his team didn't have "any good training sessions," during its whirlwindtour, but the trip was a great opportunity to talk with "the top distance runners." The club systems"provides people with an opportunity to continue to compete beyond college age," Bowman said. "But,we're always going to produce stronger teams because we involve more people in the college system."DICK BOWMAN athletics from the Amateur Athletic Union. While most track training and competitionin the United States is part of the schools, in Australia track is generally a club sport, he said. The level of competition in Australian schools "isn't any better than ours at our level, Bowman said. "The clubsare a different story. They are especially strong because they have coaching specialists." A coachworking in just one event can give his runners more and better training in that event than a coach whocovers all aspects of track, Bowman said. The trip was sponsored by an Australian tobacco companyand QUANTAS Airlines to raise Track team faces Eastern tomorrow Western's track team travels toCheney tomorrow for a meet with Eastern Washington. Eastern is the home of national NAIA milechampion Bob Maplestone. With that in mind track coach Dick Bowman said it would be rough goingfor his team which finished second to University of Puget Sound in a triangular meet Saturday. Westernwill be looking for strong performance from Paul Scovel who ran the three mile run in 14:40.4 just 25seconds off the school record. Other Western hopefuls tomorrow will be Klaus Heck, throwing 47-3 inthe shot put, Ken Johnson who ran the 120' high hurdles in 15.3 Saturday, and Jim Magee who turned in a 9.9 in the 100 yard dash. E a s t e r n , an Evergreen Conference distance power is expected todominate the long races in the meet with Western. The Big Blue's best chances will be in the fieldevents with Heck in the shot and discus and in the sprints with Magee. Western can expect bettertimes from its mile relay team which, after a slow exchange in the first lap Saturday, closed to less than2 seconds behind winning UPS. Jeff May's burst of speed in the anchor lap caught the UPS runner, buthis effort cost him in the stretch as UPS finished in 3:26.7.

This struck as rather amazing because it was believed here that baseball seasondidn't start until mid-July, as that is when the monsoon season ends. The basic problem with springsports in the Pacific Northwest is that the only sport which truly belongs in the schedule is crew. Afterall, the boats are in the water to start with, so a little more wet stuff shouldn't bother them. And anyway,spring is really a misnomer, or whatever, as the only thing you can do in that period of time is watchBellingham Bay rise to flood stage. Spring is the time of year when every young man's thoughts turn togetting rid of the cold he picked up last winter. The seasonally unseasonal weather is a constant problemto baseball, track, golf and tennis coaches who try desperately to convince their troops that they arereally involved in outdoor sports. The Viking baseball team is currently in a possibly perilous predicament. To qualify for a playoff berth in the NAIA district playoffs, a team " must play at least 20 games withother four-year institutions. It must also win a lot of those games, but right now the problem is just getting them played. The Viks have thus far played four games, winning all four. However, two of those rainsoaked contests were against Everett Community College and one against Shoreline CC, a pair of two-year schools whose games do not count in Western's qualifying schedule. Therefore, only one game, the 2-1 win over Oregon College of Education, rates as a game Western can use to get into the districtplayoffs. If the Vikings came up with a 19-0 mark against four-year colleges, they still wouldn't qualify forthe tourney which could lead to the national meet in Phoenix, Ariz. Games with Seattle University andthe University of Puget Sound have already been postponed, although there is the possibility that theywill be made up eventually. Today the Vik nine is in Cheney to attempt to play a three game series withEastern Washington. Usually, venturing over to the other side of the hills is a safe bet to see some sunand get a couple of innings in. Although, the last few days the skies have looked unfavorably down onthe Inland Empire and have added some moisture to the dead desert. Two years ago, the Big Blue trackteam traveled to Cheney for a meet and ran"into a blizzard (not to be confused with the West Coastversion which constitutes of two snow flakes and a square inch of frost in the morning). The thinclads had better be prepared again as they have also made the trip east for a meet tomorrow. Tomorrow alsomarks the start of the tennis season with Western meeting Central in Ellensburg. Ellensburg is kind of amid-point between Bellingham and Cheney and that makes it just that much more unpredictable. If theheavens will cooperate and dry up for just a couple of months or so, Western might have a chance tocomplete one or two of its schedules. Most other schools dislike scheduling events for Bellinghambecause they aren't exactly thrilled with spending all that money to travel to Whatcom County and not r}:-\\ Which brings us to the winner of the distinguished "Planner-of-the-Year Award," given sporadically tothe individual or individuals who show extreme brilliance in foresight. This winner is the official scheduleplanner of the Evergreen Conference. You see, with the history of lovely Bellingham spring showers andrainbows in mind, this person awarded Western as being the site of the 1972 Evco championships intrack tennis and golf. Maybe they should have awarded us the swimming meet, too. 'Let the sun shine 'Viks in Cheney for series B a r r i n g any more i n t e r f e r e n c e from the weatherman, Western'sbaseball team will take to the field today for a single Evergreen Conference game with EasternWashington, at Cheney. The Vikings, who have had six of ten games rained out thus far this year, willtake a 4-0 mark into Cheney, with one of those wins being an Evco victory over Oregon College ofEducation. That 2-1 win had been threatened by OCE coach Joe Caligure, who said he was going toprotest the game on the grounds that it should have been called, before Western's winning runs scored,because of the rain. Western won with two seventh inning runs after the two coaches had agreed tomake the seventh the last frame. Caligure apparently decided not to protest, saying "one game isn'tgoing to lose the conference for us." However, with that out of the way, the Eastern Savages will testcoach Larry Vance's Vikings on what Vance hopes will be a dry field. "We need to get some games inso we can qualify for the district playoffs," Vance said. "I think we have the team that can win theconference and even the district, but we have to play to do it." District rules state that a team must play at least 20 games against other four-year colleges Unbeaten crew to row in SU Regatta Western'screw team, whose h e a v y w e i g h t eight are undefeated through three races this year, will venture tothe Seattle University Regatta Saturday for what oarsman Joe Ford called "a run-off of the top teams onthe West Coast." Besides the host Chieftains, the Vikings will face the University of Washington andOregon State. Ford said the Huskies should provide the chief competition. The 2,000 meter sprints willbe held in the Montlake cut and begin at 8 a.m. So far this year, the Vikings' eight-man heavyweightcrew has sunk the University of British Columbia, last year's Canadian national champs, as well asPacific Lutheran University, the University of Puget Sound and Seattle U. Another feature of Coach BobDie h l ' s team is the lightweight four-man crew, with all four oarsmen returning from last year's teamthat dumped the c h a m p i o n s h i p Husky lightweights. Ford, Cerg Monroe, Emil Ramos and MartinMeyer are the four returning lightweights, whose 1972 record now stands at 2-0. Saturday, April 15, theViks will host the Lake Samish Regatta, which will see both UW and SU crews journeying up to theViking home waters. Ruggers lose two to OSU Beavers Western's ruggers lost two games to the visiting Oregon S t a t e University Beavers Monday. The first team, plagued by key injuries, played stoutdefense in the first half, holding Oregon St. to a 0-0 score. H o w e v e r , because of inexperience inseveral positions, Western's offense never seriously threatened the Oregon St. goal, la the second halfWestern's defense went the way of its offense as Oregon St. rolled to a 15-0 victory. Western's secondteam lost the preliminary game 14-12. The Vikings will play next in the Portland tournament April 14. toqualify for consideration for the playoffs. Of the Viks' four games only the OCE contest counts, as theother three were against Everett and Shoreline Community Colleges. Vance planned to start Don Balke(2-0) against Eastern in today's game, and Rick Shadle (1-0) and Leo Gauthier (1-0) in tomorrow'sscheduled double header. Vance's probable starting lineup should have Ron Porterfield at first base,Rocky Jackson at second, Dave Bobillot at shortstop, Wayne Martin at third, Pete Johnson in left field,John Schuster in center, Bruce Maupin in right and Mike Wheat at catcher. Rick Turner should beavailable for relief mound duty if needed. Franzaleads coaches' All-Evco cage squad Western's MikeFranza led this year's All-Evergreen Conference basketball team selections. The 6-1 junior guard fromSan Jose, Calif., was one of three choices who received unanimous selection. The team was voted on by the Evco basketball coaches, who were not allowed to vote for anyone oh their own team. JoiningFranza were Randy Buss, 6-5 senior forward from Eastern Washington, Rich Hanson, 6-5 junior forwardfrom Central, Mel Farris, 6-1 junior forward-guard from Oregon Tech and Dave Hay den, 6-8 junior centerfrom Eastern Washington. Buss and Hanson were the other two unanimous choices and also madeWestern's all-opponent team. Franza led the Vikings, in scoring this season with a 16.2 points pergame average. He also set a Carver Gym record by scoring 35 points in one game, against SimonFraser University. Along with his all-league honors, Franza was also named by coach Chuck Randall as co-captain for next year's team, along with the Viks' other guard, Tom Bradley. Earlier, Roger Fuson, 6-5 senior from Manson, was voted the team's Most Inspirational Player for the season, which sawWestern roll up a 26-4 record, along with the Evco and NAIA District I titles.

Joe Taylor said. Most students do not realize the gravity of the situation when they purchase liquor for minors, Taylor said. "By breaking the law they may obtain a record that will follow them for the rest of their lives, when their only real intention was to help afriend." P h o n y i d e n t i f i c a t i o n, possession of liquor by minors, minors on tavern premises notonly cause a problem for agencies attempting to enforce the law, but can cause a lot of trouble for thosedefying it, Taylor continued. Liquor laws in this state are numerous and while many of them arecommon knowledge many others are not, he added. Some of the laws concerning liquor in this state are that: â€”minors are not allowed to use alcoholic beverages unless it is given to them by their parents.â€”minors are not allowed to have liquor in their possession unless connected with religious services.â€”minors are not allowed to attempt to purchase liquor. -attempting to purchase alcohol can result in afine of up to $ 100 and imprisonment of up to 30 days. â€”inviting a minor into a public place whereliquor is sold, buying him or having.him buy you liquor, or saying that a minor is over 21 to get him intoa tavern is a misdemeanor. - i t is illegal for a minor to enter a tavern. - i t is illegal for a minor torepresent his age as being 21 for securing admission to or remaining on the premises of a tavern. â€” g i v i n g a m i n or identification so that he might obtain alcoholic beverages. - t o sell alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person is illegal. - t o . not sterilize glasses before use is illegal. â€” presenting I.D,when requested is compulsory. Spring is season for bicycle thefts Students beware! Spring quarter isbike-thieving season at Western. Although Security states that only six bikes have been reported stolen since Jan. 1, Security Officer Lee Brown warns that spring will bring an upsurge in thefts. "This is theseason for it," Brown says, "because students are riding to school a lot more and most people havegotten a little lax because of the lack of thefts lately." Brown says that as far as his information shows,the thefts which have occurred this year have been by cutting thin chains. He advises the use of a heavy chain with a strong padlock and leaving the bike in a well-lighted spot during the night and aconspicuous place during the day.

Nursery's new home has more space, vacancies The College Cooperative Nurseryhas a new home this quarter with room for more children. Now in its second quarter of operation, thecooperative has moved to the lounges of dorms 11 and 12 at Fairhaven. (During winter quarter, it washoused in dorm three.) Director Barbara Grote says that the expansion will enable them to handle about 10 more children between the ages of six months and three years. In addition to the new location, thecooperative now has space at the south end of the campus for a play ground, and may soon have a pond near the Fairhaven dorms. With many professors giving credit for work in the nursery, the cooperativehas a new course of input, too. About 25 student voluneers are ' providing the cooperative with suchvaried services as carpentry and baking. The cooperative is now comprised of about 30 families and isgrowing. Anyone wishing information about membership can contact either Associate Dean of StudentsMary Robinson or cooperative directors, Barbara Grote or Cathy Dexter. 75 people arrested for drugcharges by intensive two-month undercover work by MICHAEL HULL Following two months of u n d e rc o v e r work, the Bellingham Police Department, with the help of the state's narcotics bureau picked up 15 people on drug warrants last week. Although close to $ 1,600 was spent from the police budget inpreparation for the arrests, whether the bust will help curtail drug traffic or use in the county remains tobe seen, according to Police Chief Cecil B.Klein. Klein predicted that within several weeks there will be15 more persons out to take the place of the jailed group. The most recent was the third drug sweep inthis city, the second which the city has undertaken on its own." Prior to having warrants drawn up, state undercover agents made purchases of drugs during the investigation period from each person jailedduring the late night pick-ups, Klein said. Between $800 .and $1,000 was used on actual purchaseswhile the remainder went for "street money." "Street money," according to Klein, is the cash that theundercover men making the purchases use to get the information they need, such as buying theircontacts a beer. When the state agents completed their work, 17 warrants were signed by Judge BertKale. Divided into teams of eight, 24 Bellingham policemen began their pick-ups last Friday night. Byearly Saturday morning, 15 of the warrants had been served, number 16 was served Sunday morning and 17 was waiting for its owner to show. The wife of one of the arrested men was also jailed when sheinstructed her dog to attack one of the officers. The w o u n d suffered by the policeman was the onlyinjury to anyone during the evening. In the crackdown, Klein thinks they picked up some "middlemen,"and said that the chance exists that they also jailed a couple major links in the Whatcom County drugchain. The success in a drug prevention and crackdown program is based on the element of surprise,according to Klein. Everything was undercover until last Friday night and many people were caught off-guard during the sweep, Klein added. â€¢ Students* who'are in need of part-time : \ or temporary off-camp us work during : i Spring or Summer should make application \ \ at the Associated StudentsHousing : â€¢ Employment Commission in room 215 of : : the Viking Union Building. : : Thisapplication should be made even if \ : you had done so during Winter Quarter. : TOAD RELAXEDATMOSPHERE WHOLE \A HEAT PIZZA 12" with onions from $1.35 (Monday 35c off) HOMEMADEROOT BEER SOUP BREAD over 30 kinds of Tea A good place to Come and Share . 11th Harrishours: 3-12 M-F 1-12 SAT 4-12 SUN 2 0 % Disc.

Campus dogs face new restrictions by MICHELE RAYMONDThe Bellingham leash laws are going to be enforced "to the letter" on campus from now on, Director ofSecurity .Robert G. Peterson said Wednesday.. The official Western policy states that no dog may bebrought on campus â€¢unless it is either on a leash or "under the control of the owner." No dogs areallowed in any of the buildings. This policy, however, has never been enforced until now. "In the past fouryears the campus has literally gone to the dogs," commented Peterson. A few years ago the attitude of"everybody loves a dog," was prevalent, but since then security has received many complaints fromstudents, faculty, and food service. Students have complained of flea bites, and dogs eating theirlunches. Members of the faculty have been upset over dogs disrupting classrooms. Food servicereported dogs messing up dining areas and creating unsanitary conditions. It was decided that the leash laws would have to be enforced, either by the City Animal Control, or by Security. As of Dec. 1, anystray dog found on campus can be impounded under the city law. Although the city pound has complete jurisdiction on Western's campus, an officer will not come up here unless he is accompanied by amember of security. It has now become necessary for security to take over the task of apprehendingstray dogs on campus. If a dog is picked up by security, it will be released to the owner immediately ifhe identifies himself. His name is sent to the Whatcom County Animal Shelter, and a warning or acitation may be issued. If the owner is not around, the dog is taken to a central location, and removed tothe pound. If a student is missing Tiis pet, he is first advised to call security (676-3556) and then checkwith the Animal Shelter (733-2080) immediately, as dogs are only kept for 72 hours. The student mustgo out to the shelter to pick his dog up, and pay a fine. Peterson advises students to keep their dogs at home. Whether they will or not is debatable. Reaction to the new enforcement has been varied;surprisingly, a majority of students questioned were either apathetic or in favor of the change. "Last yearthere were so many dogs at Fairhaven that the cleaning ladies that vacuumed the halls finally gave upcleaning; they just went around the mess," commented a former Fairhaven student. "I guess I might aswell leave her at home . . ." was the reaction of one dog owner. Other mutt holders are not socomplacent. "It adds to the scenic beauty of the campus . . . there's nothing to do in Red Square . . . the dogs are a pastime . . . class would be boring without them . . . ," stated Dennis Olson. "It's too baddogs have to bear the w e i g h t of their owners' irresponsibility," summed up Barry Boniface, VikingUnion Program Coordinator. Now, more than ever, "If people care about their dogs, they will leave themat home." inside...

Flora made itsdebut in the reserve room of the library Wednesday afternoon. The All-College Senate voted at itsmeeting Monday night to make five copies of the Committee of Inquiry Report available only to thecollege community. After two hours of discussion, senate members voted 21 to 13 (with seven absent orabstaining) to release the report through the library to faculty, administrators, students and all employees of the college. Those wishing to see the report must show a valid identification card; the report cannot be duplicated or taken from the library. The Board of Trustees requested the report after it received a letterin June from the Faculty Council asking for Flora's resignation. The council's action stemmed from afaculty no-confidence vote last spring against the college president. A committee headed by Edwin Clapp of the English department was appointed by the senate to make the report. The board considered theCommittee of Inquiry Report and, in a closed-door session Dec. 7, voted confidence in Flora, keeping him as president of Western. In a letter to George Gerhold, chairman of the senate, the Board of Trusteesrequested that the report not be made public because "widespread dissemination of the contents of thereport would now do more harm than good for the college as well as all of the parties involved." The board requested that the senate instead study the issues involved and see if they can be resolved. Two ad hoccommittees were appointed by Gerhold Monday for this purpose. One committee is to select from among the issues of the Committee of Inquiry report those which may be solved and report back to the senatein February. The other committee is to recommend to the senate positions on issues of faculty concernonly-such things as faculty grievances, salary schedules and faculty welfare. Senators arguing againstrelease of the Committee of Inquiry report thought the faculty and the senate should address themselvesto the issues in the report and try to work them out. Some said the report does not distinguish betweenfact "and emotion. Those in favor of disclosure said open debate is needed on the issues. PhillipMontague of the philosophy department said some have charged that the faculty was "frivolous, silly andpetty" in its charges, and release of the report would disprove that. He said the report indicates a serious problem because "that many faculty members are that upset." Several amendments to the motion finally resulted in a preamble to the resolution. The preamble, which will preface each copy of the report, says: "In making the report of the ad hoc committee 'to examine the facts and circumstances leading to theJune 5, 1972, action of the Faculty Council' SUBJECT OF REPORT-College President Charles Flora isthe object of faculty criticism in the recently released Clapp report. available to the college community,the senate believes that such action is an essential first step in accomplishing what the Board ofTrustees has asked, namely to forge a new unity within the college. "At the same time, the senate ismindful that the report of the ad hoc committee is a collection of faculty opinion and not necessarily acatalog of facts. It is essential therefore that readers of the document are reminded of that character ofthe report. "Furthermore it is essential to note that the senate, in companion action, is establishingprocedures to deal with the allegations in the report. Hopefully therefore the report of faculty opinion,when known to members of the college community and coupled with further efforts by the senate will beof the greatest benefit to the college." Flora charged with lack of leadership by RODGER PAINTERThe main criticisms leveled against College President Charles J. Flora by the faculty in its no confidencevote in Flora spring quarter were a general lack of leadership and his handling of the blockade of OldMain, according to the Clapp report. Other reasons most frequently stated were a lack of communication or consultation with the faculty and administrative autocracy and "cronyism." The Clapp report waswritten by an ad hoc committee of the All-College Senate following a request by the Board of Trusteesthat the senate investigate the reasons behind the faculty's 208 to 182 vote of ho confidence in Flora.According to the report the charge of a failure of leadership could be applied to most of the complaintsagainst Flora by the faculty, "but can be focused more particularly on the sense of lack of direction, ofthe absence of clear long-range plans or goals" for Western." Many of the faculty charged Flora withcondoning an illegal act during last spring's occupation of Old Main by students demanding more facultyfor the College of Ethnic Studies, the report says. Some of the faculty, according to the report, allegedFlora "had awarded two additional positions to the College ot Ethnic Studies at the expense of the othercolleges," and that he did so under pressure. The most penetrating of all the more specific indictmentsagainst the president, the report says, is that he does not communicate with the faculty. "Dr. Flora, it isfrequently said, ignores or has a contempt for the faculty . . . it is difficult to reach him or to get him tomeet with a faculty group and when he does so meet, he tends to harangue rather than listen." Therewere, of course, the report says, "many returns which are wholly sympathetic in tone." The writers ofsome of the favorable ballots simply expressed they felt confidence in Flora without reservation oranalysis. However, the report goes on to say that "a substantial number of those who abstained do sonot out of real confidence in the president, but of a kind of despair of improvement or out of fear of making matters worse . . . . Many of those who chose not to call for Dr. Flora's resignation clearly desired somegenuine change in the organization of the college, or in its administrative personnel, or both." The Clappreport has been placed in the reserve section of the library for the perusal by the college community withthe restrictions that it not be duplicated or removed from the reserve room. Goltz Working for Whatcomand Western Goltz appointed to education committee Barney Goltz, director of campus planning, and a first-term representative from the 42nd district, is one of the new legislators who are proving thatnewcomers to the capitol don't have to wait for seniority before taking an effective part in leadership anddecision making. Goltz has been named a vice-chairman of the House Higher Education Committee inaddition to his membership in the. Revenue-(Ways-and Means) and Ecology Committee. Goltzexpressed special pleasure over his appointment to the Revenue Committee. With Dan Van Dykcontinuing on the Appropriations Committee, Goltz said, the 42nd district will be as strongly represented as possible on the Ways and Means Committee. Goltz has emphasized that he-is anxious to hearfrom citizens of the district as to their views on pending legislation, especially in the areas which fallwithin the scope of .his committees.. New planner named NAMED VICE-CHAIRMAN Barney Goltz,campus planner, was named vice-chairman pf the. House..Higher .Education, Committee in Olympia.After running a successful campaign for the State Legislature, Campus Planner Barney Goltz has takenan unpaid leave of absence to attend the 43rd session of the Washington State Legislature in Olympia. Bob Aegerter, campus architect, has been appointed to take Goltz' place during the absence. Aegerter said the main change in the office will be that he instead of Goltz will be a d v i s i n g the collegeadministration on the impact of the legislative appropriations for Western. "The Mount Baker Theaterbuilding purchase will be determined by what the JLegislature does- ..with. -. the.... appropriation,"^ hesaid. "The only other news expected regarding campus projects will be whether we can proceed with allof them as planned or whether some will have to be delayed. Asked if he would be in contact with Goltzduring the Session, Aegerter replied that "it is doubtful." "Because of Initiative 276, it's not clear nowhow much communication could take place without the possibility of being termed a lobbyist," Aegertersaid. R e g a r d i n g c a m p us construction projects, he said there will be no major conflicts orchanges, since these were already planned or underway when Goltz left.- - -.â€”.-,,.â€¢,,.,.,, ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 3 ---------- â€¢; Jamwy WT9F73 "'W^Sterrt'Fri Card dealer Cynthia Perry, bunny waitress Margee Starr and"gambler" Charles Webb find out what tomorrow s Casino Night will be like.

Academic Council moves to restrictpass/fail Pass/fail grading will not be allowed in general studies courses under revisions in the P/Fsystem made by the Academic Council that go into effect next fall quarter. The council voted to restrictthe P/F system to elective c o u r s e s u p o n the recommendation of the Ad Hoc Committee onAcademic Standards. Other recommendations of the committee approved by the council were theelimination of the requirement that the equivalent of "C" work be done in order to receive a " P " underthe system; the establishment of a new grading system, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory; and a one-quartertime limit for conversion of "K" grades. In restricting the use of P/F t o elective courses, the" committeesought to return to what ad hoc committee chairman Christopher Taylor described as "the originalrationale for pass/fail," to allow a student to try a subject far afield from his major or minor without fear ofharming his grade point average. Although members of the council disagreed on the extent to whichstudents were using P/F to disguise a minimum of effort in general education classes, the councildecided with only one opposing vote to adopt the revisions. The elimination of the cutoff of "C" for P/Fallows the professors to set their own standards under the system. The council recommended that allprofessors, both in P/F and A-B-C-D-F grading systems, advise students of what their grading standards will be. The new S/U grading system is designed for use in classes which do not lend themselves toquantitative evaluation. Principle among these classes will be those which require a certain level ofcreativity. The S/U system differs from the P/F system in that it will not be a student option; but entireclasses, and all sections of those courses, will be offered on an S/U basis. New "K" regulations requirethat all "K's" be converted, that is, all incomplete work be completed, by the end of the next quarter ofattendance. Present rules allow the conversion of "K's" up to one year after issuance. Those "K's" which are not converted will be c o n s i d e r e d unsuccessful completions. Organizers jeans be worn.request that no C o n t i n u o u s l i ve entertainment includes singers, a piano player and a dancer.Black Jack, roulette, craps and chuck-a-luck will be offered on the gambling tables. D e b o r a h Loving,a coordinator for Casino Night, said that the purpose of the evening is to provide a "fun event" for thecollege. The last such event was held in Nash Hall in 1970. She said that any profit made from theevening will go to charity. About 50 girls from Alpha, Kappa, Birnam Wood and Funds prompt studenttransit debate This week the Bellingham City Council authorized funds for the purchase by the citytransit system of eight new buses. The grant prompted t r a n s i t d i r e c t o r Ed Griemsmann'sattention toward proposals to provide unlimited bus service to college students for a mandatory quarterly assessment of about $2 per person. Western's student board of directors vetoed that initial ideabecause they didn't feel enough students would be able to use the system to make such anassessment fair, board member Joe Hann explained. A board proposal of a $4 rate charged only tothose who wanted â€¢ a bus pass was in turn rejected by city transit, Which felt they would lose money on the deal. Transit wants something in the neighborhood of $50,000 p~r year, Hann said.G.*emsmann proposed running up to eight buses per hour through the campus, for which the city wouldneed two more buses and three and one half drivers added to its fleet. Griemsmann believes 2,000 to3,000 students a day would take advantage of the transit proposal. Hann says such a number is notenough to warrant an assessment from every student on campus. U n d e r Griemsmann's proposal tocommit three buses to campus service, only 150 people could be carried at any one time. That is notenough, Hann believes, for the eight, nine and ten o'clock rushes to class. The Board of Directors has a cost on a asked Griemsmann for and feasibility study campus bus system. Any exclusive campusbus service probably . will not be decided upon before spring quarter, and will riot be available until nextyear, he said. Griemsmann believes a student bus system would benefit even those who didn't use itbecause it would lessen parking problems on and near the campus. The free service, he thinks, wouldconvince some to leave their cars a home. New add/drop rules, penalties effective for next fall quarterby TIM SCOTT A new add/drop period and penalties for dropping classes after the deadline which caninclude termination of enrollment will go into effect next fall quarter. The new add/drop period is to belimited to the first five days of the quarter. The new rules, approved by the Academic Council on Dec. 5,allow classes to be added 'and dropped during this period without penalty. After the fifth day, and beforethe start of the sixth week, the student may request to be withdrawn from a class, but an entry of "W"will be made on the student's permanent record. The student may be allowed to withdraw from a classafter the sixth week at the discretion of the instructor, again with a "W". A "W" will be considered anunsuccessful completion as is an "F", "NP" or unconverted "K". The new regulations require that 80 percent of the units for which a student is registered on the sixth day of the quarter be successfullycompleted, both on a quarterly and a cumulative basis. That is, 80 per cent of the units in each quarter,and 80 per cent of the total number of units taken at Western, must be completed successfully. Failureto successfully complete 80 per cent of the units in any one quarter will result in the issuance of awarning which will be noted in the student's permanent record. If a student should fail to successfullycomplete 80 per cent of his units in a quarter, AND that failure brings his cumulative total of. successfulcompletions to less than 80 per cent, his enrollment is terminated. As an example, take the case of astudent who begins a quarter with 50 units and among those units are three units of " F " and four units of "W". This gives him a successful completion rate of 86 per cent. If, in that quarter, he takes 16 unitsand withdraws from three of those units, successful completion of all the rest gives him an 81 per centscore on the quarter and a cumulative of 85 percent successful completions. If, in the next quarter,however, he registers for 16 units, withdraws from 5 units in the third week and flunks a three-unit class,his quarterly percentage drops to 50. This also brings his cumulative percentage to 78, both below therequired 80 per cent. Result: termination of enrollment. Once his enrollment is terminated, the studentmay petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for readmission. If the committee chooses to readmitthe student, it has the option of putting him on academic probation or final probation. If the committeechooses academic probation, and the student fails to bring his percentage to the required level, hisenrollment is again terminated. But he may again petition for readmission. If the committee chooses finalprobation ,and the student fails to achieve the 80 per cent level, his enrollment is terminated, and he may not reapply. After he is readmitted, the student need only select his classes carefullyâ€”avoiding thosefrom which he is likely to withdraw, or doppping within the deadlineâ€”and pass all his classes in order to salvage his career. A single quarter of 12 units with no unsuccessful completions would raise our sample student's percentage to 81. A second quarter of 12 units could raise it to 83 per cent, and a third wouldbring it up to 85 per cent. The new 80 per cent regulation does not replace the requirement that a 2.0grade point average be maintained. It will, however, replace present regulations concerning "NP" grades,as " N P " will become another unsuccessful completion. Although the new regulations will not go intoeffect until next fall quarter, Robert Monahan, chairman of the Academic Council said he expected thatwork completed between fall 1972 and fall 1973 will be taken into consideration in calculating successfulcompletion percentages. Since dropped classes are not currently recorded, these will not enter into thecalculations, but "F's", "NP" and unconverted "K's" will be taken into consideration. ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, January 12, 1973 the ^.western front But AEAD All ThE 6 ~ ^ s ^OKX vu*rvthoney, * t Oon'T ToucK TViS OAJÂ£. on THE T o p! Report 'kinds' secret The Clapp report hits Florahard-but don't tell anybody. This seems to be the attitude of the All-College Senate, which voted Monday night to release the controversial "no confidence" reportâ€”but only to card-carrying Westernites in thelibrary reserve room. On the matter of release of the Clapp reportâ€”the Senate had two optionsâ€”torelease it or to withhold it. Had they voted to withhold it, a legal question might have been raised on thebasis of Washington's open meeting law. Had they released it completely, the trusteesâ€”who are upsetthat the report is even in the libraryâ€”would definitely raise some questions as to whether the senatesurpassed its authority. Faced with two alternativesâ€”and the possibility that either might ' be amistakeâ€”the Senate invented a third alternative, selective releasing, the biggest mistake of all. .Although Washington laws define what documents can be secret and what must be disclosed, no lawprovides for such a partial disclosure as the senate hoped to try with the Clapp report. The fact that theClapp report hit the front page of the Seattle P-I less than 24 hours after it hit Wilson Library shouldclearly demonstrate the folly of selective disclosure. The senate should be given credit for realizing thatthe campus has a right to know the contents of the "no confidence" reportâ€”this is more than thetrustees would concede. But the senate is in no way justified to then try to hide the report from the rest of the communityâ€”the rest of the taxpaying public. The passage of Initiative 276â€”while not specificallyrelating to documents like the Clapp reportâ€”clearly shows where the public stands on the question ofhigh-level secrecy. It is important for the trustees and the senate to realize that Western is not anautonomous little community up here on the hill. Since John Q. Taxpayer is eventually paying the salaryof all college employeesâ€”don't we have an obligation to cut him in on our little campus secrets? tbe _western front staff EDITORIAL PHONE 676-3161 ADVERTISING PHONE 676-3160 EDITOR: Jack Broom MANAGING EDITOR: Rodger Painter PRODUCTION: Duff Wilson SPORTS: Howard Scott COPYEDITORS: James Heitzman, Rahn Lahti, Dennis Mansker, Judy Mooers, Dennis Ritchie AD MANAGER:Richard Roff GRAPHICS: Elsi Vassdal PHOTO EDITOR: Robert Neale PHOTOGRAPHERS: BobMcLauchlan, Thomas Schultz, Jim Thomson REPORTERS: Christine Anderson, Scott Anderson, RobBaldwin, Alan Bauer, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Sonja Brown, Alice Collingwood, Bill Dietrich,Nicholas Gardner, Victoria Hamilton, John Harris, Bruce Hayes, Rochelle Henderson, Heidi Henken,Deborah Henry, Tom Home, O.K.

Fed up with dogs Editor, Western Front: I love dogs. I think they make wonderfully personal pets. People who have them love them I'm sure. But these dog ownersshould not expect the college to love these dogs nor should they expect the college to want them aspets. I'm tired of hearing the echos of barking as they rebound off every wall in red square. I'm tired ofdogs urinating on everything in sight to mark their territories. I'm tired of seeing idiot people throwingsticks and other debris into the fountain just to see these dogs chase it, which most will do until theydrop from exhaustion. I'm tired of being nearly run down by dogs when walking between classes. I'm tired of dogs regurgitating on the floor of buildings they seem always to enter. I'm tired of having dogs beg atyour table while you try to eat your lunch. I'm tired of seeing dogs fornicate in every part of the campus.I love dogs. But I'm just tired thats all. The number of dogs on campus seems to grow larger all the time. Dogs need to have room to 'run and play, but let them run and play in YOUR yard not OUR yard.Walter Hopp Technology Cyclists have rights Editor, Western Front; In the November 17 issue of theFront, on the second page, there was an article about a "police crackdown" on pedestrians andbicyclists. The Front interviewed Assistant Chief Burley, who said that cyclists must stop running stopsigns, riding on the wrong side of the road, riding double, riding side by side, and failing to yield right-of-way to other traffic. I personally feel that this "crackdown" is a good idea because many cyclists I'veseen need to learn the laws. However, I'm afraid the police could also use some brushing-up pn thelaws, too. Riding side by side, or two abreast, is not illegal (RCW 46.61,770) although obstructing traffic is. Also, I am not sure of what is meant by "failing to yield to other traffic," but the law states that"persons riding bicycles shall be granted all of the rights and be subject to all of the duties applicable tothe driver of a motor vehicle" (RCW 46.61.755). In other words, motorists, must respect the cyclist'sright to use the roadway, and grant them the right-of-way when it is lawfully theirs. Kenneth DehnPublish or perish Editor, Western Front: - As Western has seemingly progressed with other colleges into the 21st century, it is shocking to find that not all of Western's ties with the medieval past have beensevered.. I am speaking about the antiquated doctrine that if one is to teach at Western one must eitherpublish or perish from its hallowed halls. I bring to light the recent case of Dr. Robert Patt on, associateprofessor in the department of economics and business. Dr. Patton was recently denied tenure becausehe, in the eyes of the college, had failed to reach the standard set for research and publication. Thisstudent does realize the value which can be obtained by publication. But I ask you, does publishing reallyhelp the students or is it another means of denying them more time with the professors; time that theynever seem to have. Dr. Patton was voted the Outstanding Teacher of the Year (1970-71) in thedepartment of economics and business. He has consistently received high student;evaluations and hasperformed in a manner which has brought both interest and involvement to the classroom. He has beeninvolved with outside college interests such as participating in the Lummi Indian Management Trainingclasses, and is a member of the Advisory Board for the Lummi Indian Tribal Enterprises. In inter-collegeactivities, he is an advisor to the .Com-Tech Enterprises, a joint development program of the technologydepartment and business department for the establishment of an operational business. As a teacher, Dr.Patton has constantly spent both time and effort in industry and related areas to bring not only furtherunderstanding to the students in the highly technical areas of business and finance, but has also brought good will and appreciation to Western as a concerned member of its faculty for Western's influence in its surrounding environment of city and state. It is with this involvement that he brings new and innovativeideas into the classroom; and because business and economics are such industry-oriented disciplines, it is essential that the students be aware of the new developments in the business world. This can be seenas today's businessmen are using every means available to be kept up on the ever-changing events,methods and understanding that take place. Yet, it is no wonder that industry is turning its back on someof today's colleges because the college graduate is not receiving the new knowledge to allow him/her tojump into the mid-stream of the business environment. Consequently, the graduate finds himself having to go through training programs once he starts in business. Instead of allowing more student-teacherinvolvementâ€”which is a cry of educational leaders today-Western still remains with the "publish orperish" doctrine. Yet it is a bit ironic to think that Western is going to match the academic prowess ofsuch institutions as Berkeley, Harvard, etc. in the area of academic publications. Subsequently, Western should change its medieval thinking on publishing and even review the tenure process itself. For too longthe teachers have been too busy trying to publish to pay attention to the needs of the students. But when a teacher such as Dr. Patton does come along, with new and innovative ideas that truly give the studentan education, the "enlightened leaders" of Western refuse him tenure because he has not published.Larry Newton Senior ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, January 12, 1973 Western Front opinion . J Boycott means social justice The WWSC Friends of the Farm Workers Committee is starting an intensive leafleting campaign and boycott of all Safewaystores in the area. The local drive, part of an international campaign against the largest supermarketchain in the country, was announced last week by MECHA. MECHA members stated that Safeway isthe main target because it is the largest buyer of head lettuce not picked by members of the UnitedFarm workers. They also said that Safeway has a moral responsibility to stop supporting the continuedexploitation of farmworkers. The United Farm Workers, led by Cesar Chavez, negotiated withrepresentatives of some 200 western growers for more than a year after the largest agricultural strike forunion recognition in U.S. history in 1970. The growers finally broke off the talks and are now conspiring to destroy the farmworkers union through legislation and sweetheart contracts with the Teamsters (asweetheart contract for example, is when a grower signs a contract with the teamsters, without â€¢consulting his workers, when in fact his workers want to be represented by their own union, the UnitedFarm Workers Union). The growers' actions have forced the UFW to call a boycott as a last resort. Cesar Chavez succeeded in negotiating the first major contracts in agriculture in 1970 after initiating aninternational boycott of California, grapes. The struggle took 5 years. The leaflets being passed out willurge the boycott of all head lettuce, except that picked by UFW members which is identified by the black eagle on the box (ask your produce manager). Shoppers are being asked to use substitutes such asromaine, escarole, endiva, cabbage, red tip or other types of leaf lettuce. The leaflet also urges shoppersto boycott Safeway and shop at other stores. Safeway is not only the largest buyer of non-union lettuce,but continues to do so because of its ties to agri-business, rich growers, and the Farm Bureau, who aretrying to destroy the farmworkers union. On Saturday, January 13th, there will be picket lines set up atSafeway stores all over the west coast. In Bellingham there will be a picket line from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. atthe Safeway store on Cornwall and York. For all interested there will be a meeting Friday night at 7 p.m.in the upstairs lounge in the V.U. We ask all who believe in social justice to join us in the boycott ofSafeway and head lettuce, and hope you will show your support at the picket line on Saturday.

Rosa Caledron MECHApresident ^..AND Oti tt Wi, PEACe, GOOPWIUUTOWARD MEWâ€”JUST AS SOON/ AS WE WORKOUT A FEW MINOR DETAILS/'7 'Peace is at hand9 Tactic to persuade the voters Why was the "peace-is-at-hand" speech made by Henry Kissinger on Oct. 26? A retrospective look at the attitudes ofpolitical decision makers at the time incidates that "voter persuasion" was a very probable reason. Froma realistic point of view, peace was not at hand. Except for minor clarifications, the October peaceagreement was approved by President Nixon and the North Vietnamese. But the first problem that arose,prior to Kissinger's speech, was President Nguyen Van Thieu's objections to certain conditions in thedraft. In spite of this, the speech was made. Another factor of even more consequence also stood in theway of a settlement. Nixon, under the influence of his military advisers, was convinced that after theagreement was signed North Vietnam would launch an intensive attack upon the South. According to his Pentagon advisers more arms were needed to cnecx the assault. Assuming that the attack woulddefinitely occur, Nixon postponed the signing in order to flood South Vietnam and other strategic baseswith an overkill of war materials. And he did. Meanwhile the American public was hearing "peace is athand." Imagine what the exchange of memos between Kissinger and Nixon read like at this point: 1(Kissinger's message to Nixon on Thieu's objections.) Things have broken down at this end. Thieu won'tagree to certain conditions. What should I do? His complaints are listed below. 2 (Nixon's reply.) Don'tworry about him. I've changed my mind about signing the agreement. We need time to build up the firepower over there. The communists are going to attack as soon as we pull out. But don't let on that youknow about this. Enclosed is a speech I had written for you. Return at once to Washington and read it tothe press. The speech was read and the agreement was ignored. North Vietnam became hard tonegotiate with. They complained about the arms build up and tightened their hold on P.O.W.'s. Thingsescalated and resulted in the massive bombings of Hanoi. Whether the bombs will force the NorthVietnamese to come to terms, Nixon's terms, remains to be seen. In the meantime, I still wonder, whywas the "peace is at hand" speech given? Benno Steckler Coalition year in Olympia Ifs January ofanother odd year, and the marble halls in Olympia are girding for another session of fast and furiouspolitical rhetoric. Thoughts of "coalition politics" and shifts of political interests are in the minds of thelegislators. A coalition is being proposed by Sen. R. R. Greive of Seattle in order to form a rulescommittee sympathetic to Democratic wishes. History has shown that coalition politics die an early andpainful death, and it is no less doubtful that the coalition proposal for this important committee will godown to a watery grave. Perhaps the most significant feature of this year's legislative session is its effecton . Washington's younger political interests. For the first time in its 43 regular sessionsâ€”and whoknows how many extraordinary sessionsâ€”the legislature will be dealing with a number of issuesimportant to young voters. An expansion of the rights and responsibilities for the newly enfranchised 18-year-olds, discussion and action on the state's hitchhiking provisions, and a myriad of bills on theenvironment are all on the agenda for this session. This year, more than any other, it is important thatthe public show its interest in the lawmakers. The importance of the proposed legislation cannot bediminished. Each of these bills will have long-lasting effects that are measurable only over an extendedperiod pf time. The proposed formation of a Department of Transportation to oversee the development ofmass rapid transit, and the possible reinstatement of the unconstitutional death penalty are two majorissues confronting both young and old constituents. The legislators are in Olympia for a purpose. Theyare there to make your opinions known and to act responsibly^ on your wishes. The only way thelawmakers can sense your attitudes is through two-way communication. An eight-cent postage stampand a few minutes from your lunch break are all you need to make yourself known. Robert NealeAttention: people still go hungry The other night, a friend of mine remarked, "I'm hungry, let's go getsomething to eat." Although not particularly hungry myself, I agreed to go along for the drive. However,arriving at one of the local burger stores I fell into the cow syndrome, whereby one blindly follows anotherperson up to the cash window, just as cows follow the lead cow into their stalls at milking time. Like arecorded message, I stammered out the usual, "Hefty, fry-tartar and a large Coke." Despite the fact thatI was still not particularly hungry, I ate a few bites of my hamburger, a couple fries, washed it down withmy Coke and threw the rest of my order out the car door window in the direction of the garbage can. Ionce saw a tramp-like man fish a half-eaten doughnut out of a garbage can and eat it. Afterwards hethanked the young man who had spit on the doughnut and thrown it into the garbage as bait to see if theguy would bother to go after it. Most of us have probably not experienced hunger to the point that wehave felt inclined to eat garbage, however the point should be made that nobody should have to gropethrough garbage cans for food. Rajher than save my half-eaten hamburgers for indiyidual handouts, itwould be much more effective to initiate a program around an organization in the position of Saga FoodServices, who have a marginal supply of prepared food to dispose of every day. I am not sure where thatfood goes but it would be a generous move to see that that food was given to mission kitchens or likeinstitutions to distribute the food to those who need it. Since the patrons of Saga have paid for theirmeals in advance and the profits and payments from the food have already been made, the donation ofextra food, left over from he day's meals, would be a donation sponsored indirectly through the studentswho patronize Saga. It would provide a means by which the college society could serve the communitywithout costing anyone a cent. Think about it the next time you get hungry. The simple every-day luxuryof eating is on a ragged schedule for some people in Bellingham. Nobody should have to grope throughgarbage cansTor food.

The secretary-treasurer position and three at-largepositions need to be filled. Because the regular election slated for the first week in November wasmissed, the board is calling a special election to fill the four empty seats. Yesterday was the first daystudents could file for office; the last day for filing is Jan. 25. The board has placed a moratorium oncampaigning, probably until Jan. 23, when a revision of the election rules will be completed. The boardalso approved the establishment of a committee to take the necessary steps toward creating an FM radio station for Western. The committee will develop a format for an educational station, make an estimate ofthe cost for five years, find a suitable location for the station, investigate the purchase or rental ofequipment and compile the information requested by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). If there is student support for the station, to be indicated through a survey conducted this quarter, and ifthe cost is feasible, the board will confirm the project. Speech students Steve Mellroth and Mike Bredareported to the board their findings on creating a station. The 10-watt station would operate from sunriseto sunset, they said, and an FCC licensed engineer would work about two hours a day. A 15-mile, non-directional antenna would probably sit atop Sehome Hill, they said. Mellroth and Breda estimated it would cost $5,000 for five years to run the station. The board also discussed establishing an AS"communications committee" responsible for the programming of the station. In other business the boardtabled consideration of the development of Lakewood because it had not yet received the report on thelegality of developing the site. They by MICHELE RAYMOND As Kelly, a friendly Western-type pooch,was innocently trotting across Red Square last Saturday, she encountered a security officer, whom shegreeted with great delightâ€”a few minutes later she found herself sandwiched in with a lot of strangedogs in a strange cage. Kelly is one of the many dogs that have been and will be picked up by theWhatcom County Animal Shelter now that the leash laws are being enforced on campus. Any dog foundwandering is taken to the Shelter and kept for no more than 72 hours. Luckily, Kelly's owner found herthere, but he had to pay $10 to get her out. Had she been there any longer than a day, her bail wouldhave been $ 1 per day more. Kelly had no identification tags'or license. City Poundmaster Jack Brownstated that if a dog has identification, every attempt is made to notify the owner. Descriptions of dogsfound without ID appear in the Bellingham Herald every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. A visit to thepound itself finds constant Profits from parking fees fo go for future lots Last year Western's parkingcommittee realized its first profits from parking fees in years, Security Director R. G. Peterson said lastweek. It received $90,000 in revenue in 1972 and spent $56,000 for operating expenses. As a non-profitorganization, the committee is saving the extra $36,000 for future capital use in the construction of either a multi-level parking garage or peripheral parking lots. When asked if students and faculty would have a legitimate gripe in complaining that their fee money was being saved for parking facilities they wouldnever use, Peterson replied that students are now using lots that others paid for before. Parking feeswere not charged until the car crush of the late '60's, when students began bringing cars to campus andthe o l d system of free, scramble-for-a-space became unworkable.

Barney Goltz, director of campus planning,estimated that a garage paid for by the drivers that use it would mean a charge of one dollar per day.Plans- for the garage show a four-level structure holding 400 cars just below the windows of the V.U. The top tier would be roofed over to give diners a more appetizing view than the hoods of cars. Doors to tieinto the garage are already in place on the north wall of the V.U. addition. An alternate garage locationwould be against the slope of Sehome Hill, somewhere near W.W.S.C. PROGRAM COMMISSIONPRESENTS A SPECIAL DOLLAR CONCERT WITH: JOY OF COOKING AND UNCLE VINTY 8pmFRI.Jv4N.12 GURVER GYISK WWSC TICKETS: ONE DOLLAR the technology building. If a garage isnot constructed, peripheral parking lots to the south of the campus would probably be built to handle the car load. Peterson~ said they would lie south of College Parkway: Their cost would be in the sameneighborhood of a multi-level garage. Western is turning to such plans because campus terrain makesspace for nearby single level lots difficult. Peterson said the temporary gravel lots the college is nowusing will tend to disappear and not be replaced as campus construction continues. Western's board oftrustees, committed the college to developing a pedestrian campus in 1957, when the decision wasmade to expand the college's enrollment. They ruled out separating buildings with nearby parking lots tokeep all classrooms within a ten minute walk of each other. Activities Council plans January tournament The, Activities Council is sponsoring a bridge, billiards and bowling tournament Jan. 20 and 21. Entryfee is $1.50 and students can sign up in the Grotto in the Viking Union. The form of billiards will be s t ra i g h t pool and the tournament will be double elimination. The billiards tournament will be held onSaturday and Sunday in the Grotto. The Bridge tournament will be held Sunday evening in VU 316-62-63.

(They areshot if not claimed.) The puppies are kept in clean separate, cages. Animal Control Officer GaryCrawford said that the exceptionally intelligent or good-looking animals are given distemper shots at thepound's expense. Cats are kept in small, dark cages. They appear to be withdrawn or attention-starved.Brown commented that in the summer about 50-100 cats are brought in each day. It costs $5 bail for acat the first day. The adult dogs are kept in indoor-outdoor enclosures, and the smell and sound is quite distinct. They are separated by sex and by size. Smaller cities, like Blaine, have their own collectingagencies, said Brown, "but they are all eventually shipped here." He added that the Port of Bellingham isleasing a building to the city for the purpose of creating a new animal shelter. This will handle theapproximately 8,000 animals that are brought in each year more efficiently: "People find it hard to acceptthe fact that the dog, not just the next Brown. Few people are law applies to their person's," commented aware of existing laws. An Animal Control officer has the right to apprehend a dog on any person'sproperty, if he has seen the animal off that property. If a dog is picked up a second time, the owner canbe issued a citation and must appear in court if the officer feels he is negligent. Any dog picked up threeor more times in a five-year period can be legally disposed of. Fortunately, this is rarely practiced inBellingham, said Crawford. Crawford, (who owns two dogs and six cats ; himself), is the only "dog-catcher" for the city. In addition to apprehending strays, his duties include â€¢ treating dog bites andputting injured animals out : of their misery. "There's no dog problem in East Wenatchee," the poundmaster revealed, "There, any dog found without ID can be shot, and owners of dogs with ID are given onewarning, after that they're shot . . . you dog goes out on the street there, and he's dead!" ". . . but, Kellylikes to wander . . . ," groaned her owner. Kelly won't be able to wander anymore.

The hospital board has chosen the name, Whatcom Emergency Center for theaddition. The local Comprehensive Health Planning Council, (CHPC), has designated St. Lukes as theemergency hospital for Whatcom County. Highway signs and street markers will be ordered andinstalled to direct people to the facility. The Center will be dedicated Jan. 13 and be put into service Jan. 16. NW Legal Services not a typical legal staff by SCOTT ANDERSON A broken-down typewriter sitson an old school table in a heatless room on the second floor of the Clover building. Only a couple ofsmall signs point to the entrance of the Northwest Legal Services office. , ... This is obviously not atypical attorney s ottice, nor do -he attorneys fit nicely into stereotype. Mike Fitch, attorney andsupervisor of the Northwest Legal Services program in Whatcom county, wears a beard and casualclothes. Dress ot others in the office is relaxed but not sloppy. It is in this atmosphere that NorthwestLegal Services (NWLS) has found a home. A program staffed by members of three federally - sponsoredprograms-legal services, VISTA and University Year for Action-and falling under the direction of the Officeof Economic Opportunity (OEO), NWLS is limited to the handling of civil cases. Typical of caseshandled by NWLS are divorces, welfare problems, landlord and tenant problems' and unemploymentproblems. NWLS can handle a divorce case for a cost of approximately $40 as compared to a charge ofabout $350 if handled by a private attorney, according to Action worker Randy Barnard. However, Fitchsaid, the purpose of the program is not to take business away from private attorneys, but rather to giveassistance and advice to people who can not otherwise afford an attorney. There is no charge forpersons using legal services, but they must qualify under somewhat flexible guidelines set down by theOEO. These guidelines vary according to the situation. Many persons using NWLS do not have enoughmoney to pay local attorneys fees, Barnard said. Since NWLS began operating on a full-time basis inSeptember, the office has handled more than 400 cases. However, NWLS has had fewer than one ofevery ten clients from Western. "We have handled far fewer cases from Western students thanexpected," Fitch said. Having originally been asked into the area by the Whatcom County BarAssociation, cooperation between the bar association and legal services people has generally been good, he said. However, the program has been attacked on the national level by the Nixon administration since 1968, Fitch said. The main criticism of the legal services program, he said, is that the program is tooreform-oriented and has often challenged local authorities. As an example he cited California Gov. Ronald Reagan's. 1972 attempt to veto the program in California because it would be detrimental to otherCalifornia programs such as welfare. The only reform issue supported by NWLS is haying the mentalcommitment statute declared unconstitutional based on due process of the law, Fitch said. NWLShandles cases which arise primarily in Whatcom County, although they do offer some assistance toIsland County.

Help is needed in researching, i n fo r m a t i o n gathering, paraphrasing, corresponding, up-dating, crushing cans and general hard work.HERB also needs suggestions from those who benefit from the information gathered to determine whatsubjects to do research on and what materials to collect. Those involved think HERB can play a vitalrole in supplying information to people to help them to" know and understand their environment. Therecycling center is now able to keep . up with - the i n c r e a s i n g amounts of recyclables being leftthere, so area residents are urged to take advantage of HERB facilities and services. Located at 63521st St., the recycling center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. People are encouragedto bring glass, magazines, cans and newspapers to the center. As for garbage, HERB requests that the center be contacted for information on how to prepare garbage for recycling. In future months there willbe a foliowup, in various ways, with more instructional information about recycling. Included will be whatis recyclable, how to prepare the material, where recycling outlets are located and how to live withoutconsuming as much as at the present and inflating levels. One of HERB's primary objectives is to serveas an environmental storehouse, giving information to anyone who wants it. Their resources arecomputer indexed, and they can have printed material and find knowledgeable people in many subjectareas within a few minutes. HERB's resources are available through their answering service, whichoperates between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. weekdays. The service accepts any environment-relatedquestions. If they can't give an answer, the caller will be referred to someone who can. The nubmer is676-3978.

Ecology bill introduced Washington's senator WarrenMagnuson has introduced into the U.S. Senate a bill protecting the coastal marine environment from theconstruction of deep-water ports and facilities which could be damaging to the ecology. The bill couldhave an impact on the possibility of an off-shore port in Puget Sound to handle supertankers shippingAlaskan oil, Magnuson said. The bill would require certification of all large-scale off-shore structures "asto their environmental compatibility with the area in which they are to be located," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, January 12, 1973 Western Front 9 ^ New concept may slow failure rate A new nationwideapproach to education is underway in an attempt to reduce the number of young people who arepotential failures. The new approach, known as career education, incorporates four basic models toacquaint students with the world of work and aid adults in re-entering formal education . to upgrade their skills. The four modelsâ€”school-b a s e d , employer-based, home-based and institutional-basedâ€”are designed to permit people to shift from one mode to another as their needs change. According toWilliam McPherson of Western's technology department, the models are just that. They are notnecessarily the filial methods which will be used in every state, he said. A briefing paper issued by theU.S. Office of Education defines career education as a concept to be adapted to the needs of each state or community, rather than being a "do-it-yourself kit that comes boxed, color-coded and indexed." Theschool-based model affects the~entire elementary and secondary school pattern. At the grade school,the child learns about a wide range of jobs and their requirements. In secondary schools, he "studiesspecific occupations and is on his way toward specialization and acquisition of job skills. The employer-based model consists of public and private employers such as unions, community groups and publicagencies, which combine to provide unmotivated students, ages 13-18, with alternatives to currentschools. These alternatives combine vocational training, education in academic fundamentals and workexperience selected for career development possibilities. The idea behind â€¢ the home-based model isto provide learning for young adults (18 through 25), and possibly older persons, who have left formalschooling. Persons involved in the home-based model would increase their employability by using thehome as a learning c e n t e r through modern technologyâ€”television, radio, audiovisual tape cassettesand printed material. The purpose of the institutional model is to develop and implement resident career education programs for unskilled persons living in rural areas. Currently, Western offers two careereducation courses through the technology department. Band in jazz festival â€¢ Western's workshopband, under the direction of William Cole, will participate in the first northwest collegiate "big band" jazzfestival. The festival is Saturday at 8 p.m. in the Seattle Center Opera House. Tickets are $2.50. Laterthis month, Jan. 24, an inter-collegiate stage band jazz festival will be held at Western, in the musicauditorium, 7:30 p.m. Admission is free. In addition to Western's workshop band, the jazz festival willfeature the Kent-Meridian jazz ensemble, sponsor of the festival, under the direction of Harold M.Sherman. Also participating will be the Olympic College jazz workshop, directed by Ralph Mutchler;Central's jazz ensemble, directed by John F. Moawad; the Mt. Hood Community College stage band,directed by- Larry McVey; and the Green River Community College jazz ensemble, directed by PatThompson. James F. Wilke, program and o p e r a t i o n s manager of KING-FM, will serve as Masterof Ceremonies. At the Western festival, in addition to Western and Olympic College, the Husky stageband, directed by Bill Vets offer help The Vietnam Veterans Against' the War (VVAW) is offering draftand military counseling daily in Viking Union 214B. Even though the Secretary of Defense hasannounced that the draft will probably end June 30 when the draft laws expire, the veterans feel that draft counseling is still needed. "I heard an announcement on television the other day that 55 thousand menwill be drafted in March and about 1 thousand a month in April, May and June," Gerry Wolfe, VVAWchapter coordinator, said. "We've already counseled four people this quarter," Wolfe said. Counselinghours are 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily. Counseling appointments for other than the regular hours can be made by leaving names and phone numbers in the VVAW office. Bissell, and the Shoreline CommunityCollege band, directed by David Earling, will play. A b o u t the upcoming festivals, Cole said, "It's good exposure for the college bands; they don't get the chance to play very often, not even as much as some high schools. "It is also an opportunity to play in the Opera House." The workshop band acceptsstudents through audition only, at the beginning of each quarter. There are approximately 24 members in the band. Last year, the band won first place at the northwest region intercollegiate stage band festivalheld at Olympic College in Bremerton. As a result, the group appeared at the national intercollegiatestage band festival. It was held last spring at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, inWashington, D.C. An outstanding feature of this band is its frequent use of charts written by thestudents themselves. Among the songs to be performed by Western are "The Thrill is Gone," arrangedby Ladd Mcintosh; "Sour Pink Soup," arranged by Henry Wolking; "Mas Que Nada," featuring JerryRanger on the soprano sax; and a Basie-style number, "Switch in Time." Indians helped A $2.5 millionsupplemental appropriation by Congress will allow four or five native Americans to attend college atWestern. Steve Sander, an aide to Congressman Lloyd Meeds, said the appropriation is designed foruse by qualified native Americans who in the past were unable to take advantage of any scholarshipprogram. Western is one of many institutions that will take part in the program. The scholarships will be administered by" the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Sander said. The scholarships will be available startingWinter quarter. Interested students should contact the financial aids office, Old Main 103.

Nursery needs 15 children The Student Co-op Nursery now has room and facilities toaccommodate 15 more children. Full or part-time students with children under the age of five years canmake use of the nursery. The children are assigned to dormitories according to their age. The day-carecenter dorms are four, 11 and 12 in Fairhaven. Kathy Dexter, co-director of the co-op said, "The rates are cheap and adjusted to the income of the parents and the number of hours the child attends the pre-school." The hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, through Friday.

Student speakers available fromspeech department Need a speaker to brighten up your club meeting or class? If so, Western's StudentSpeakers Bureau is the place to go. The speakers bureau was formed as a community service by thespeech department. In this, its second year of existence, the bureau has brought together 15 graduateand undergraduate speakers who will address clubs, civic groups, schqols or other organizations abouttheir areas of specialization. Topics range from camping trips in Europe to environmental education andfrom handicapped students to Houdini. S p e a k e r s from other countries also are available throughthe bureau.

Book hitseducation Western's Book of the Quarter for winter quarter is "School is Dead: Alternatives inEducation," by Everett Reimer. Reimer examines the institution of public education in America andconduces that it is a bureaucracy concerned more with self-perpetuation than in education. WilliamScott, Wilson Library documents librarian and chairman of the Book of the Quarter Committee, said that discussion programs concerning the book are still in the planning stages. "I hope it will spark somecontroversy," Scott said. ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, January 12,. 1.973 Vik cagers face Central, OCE in conference hoop openersby HOWARD SCOTT Western's basketball team opens Evergreen Conference (Evco) play this weekendwith a game tonight at Central in Ellensburg and one tomorrow against Oregon College of Education atMonmouth, Ore. The Vikings, with a 5-6 season record this year, will have to turn the season aroundquickly if they hope to successfully defend their 1972 Evco title. Central, sparkplugged by 6-4 seniorforward Rich Hanson, has a 5-3 record going into tonight's contest. Traditionally the Wildcats have been one of the best teams in the Northwest; taking the NAIA District I crown for seven straight years untilWestern snapped its streak last year. Hanson, a native of Blaine, led Central to a 17-9 season in 1971-72. This season Wildcat coach Dean Nicholson has been counting on Hanson to carry Central bothoffensively and under the boards.

Forced to go through last season with mostly freshmen and sophomores, the Wolvesdon't have a player with more than a year's experience on the varsity.

Other OCE players for tomorrow's game include 6-2 Gary Lathen and 5-10 Ron Beckham.Despite their lack of size and experience, the Wolves have always been a tough team to beat at home,but Western is the only Evco school that has not lost to an Oregon school since the present conferencewas formed in 1970. Western will be led this weekend by senior guard Mike Franza, averaging 26.9points a game this season. Franza should set a record for career scoring in tonight's game. Against the Seattle Pacific College last week he fell one point short of the 1,093 mark set by Mike Clayton (1966-70). A free throw will tie the record, and every field goal the San Jose, Calif., guard makes will set a new record. The Viking jayvees will play Central in a preliminary to tonight's varsity clash.

But the battlefield is not in Southeast Asia. Nor will the combatants be totingfirearms. They'll be toting a football. You see, Sunday there will be a little scrimmage in Los Angelescalled Super Bowl VII. Its purpose, so the publicists tell us, is to decide the pro football championship ofthe entire world, or words to that effect. The whole problem came up because one of the two teams inthis game is the Washington Redskins. That's Washington as in the nation's capital, not the state. TheRedskins have won their first conference title in over 20 years and their fans are extremely happy. One ofthose fans is a chap named R. Milhouse Nixon,who is a professional sports fan and football addict. Butbecause of tax reasons he lists "President" on his 1040 form under occupation. Milhouse has gone so far as to make secret visits to the Redskins' training camp, give quarterback Bill Kilmer fatherly advice, andkindly allow coach George Allen to read through his playbook. Now, the reason this all links together inone nice pattern is that if the 'Skins win Sunday, Milhouse is going to be very happy and hence the Parisnegotiations may proceed smoothly to a normal end. But, should Washington lose to the Miami Dolphins, something not at all rare this season as Miami has a 16-0 record going into the game, well . . .remember what happened when they showed the movie "Patton" in the White House? Remember how the recent bombing stopped after Washington beat Dallas for the conference titlel So, to insure world peaceand domestic tranquility, not to mention the Nixon's very sound marriage, adviser Henry Kissinger and histop aides have come up with the ideal solution to this crisis of international proportion. All they have todo is convince coach Don Schula and his Dolphins to take a dive. "Look," Kissinger was heard to tellSchula, "yÂ°u'd be making the All-American sacrifice by losing to the Redskins. Think of the millions ofyoung boys' lives which will be saved if you cooperate." "But that would be dishonest and deceitful," saysSchula, who joined the Dolphins after dealing behind the back of his former employees, the BaltimoreColts. "Our young men have worked hard for over five months to reach this game. They deserve a chanceat the American dream . . . $15,000 per man to the winning team." "Now, Don," Henry kept trying, "themoney here is very unimportant, because if you lose, you'll actually win. You know very well that theUnited States has a down-right neighborly policy of financial aid to build back the powers they destroy.Look at Germany or Japan." "But we're undefeated," Schula protested, "the best team there is. Who'sgoing to believe it if we lose to Washington? We're just too talented." "That has been thought of alreadyDon," Henry carefully confides. "First you announce that your three running backs, Csonka, Kiick andMorris will not play because of a bad respiratory disease making them unable to breathe. Then we breakthe legs of your quarterback and your front four." "Wait a minute," Don shouts, "I can see where you canbreak the legs, but who's going to believe something as preposterous as three healthy young men wholive in beautiful Miami can come down with that kind of illness?" "Don, the game is being played in LosAngeles, remember?" Schula nods his head in silent frustration. "But we have a lot of pride," Schula says in desperation, "we'd lose face if we lost this game." "Better you than us, Schula baby." "Listen, Donthis is actually a great blessing in disguise," Hank says, really rolling now, putting on the finishingtouches. "Think of all the people who will be joyously happy when the war ends and our lads can comehome to their loved ones (cue the band). Think of all the parents, wives and children who haven't seenthese young men in years (cue the flag and the fireworks). Think of the POW's and those poor bombedVietnamese (cue the voices-chorus swells with "America")." "Think of your own wife and kids," Henrysays in a very low, serious tone. "All right I give in. But tell me, why does Nixon care so much about this game and those Redskins? If he wants a winner, why doesn't he follow us?" "Because," Kissingerexplains, "Washington is known as the Over-the-Hill Gang. Nixon just turned 60 and after four years willbe out of a job. He identifies with the 'Skins. Besides, when his term is up, he wants to turn to life's moreserious problems. He wants to be a football coach, and he's using this as practice. If he loses, he'll getmad, and the world can't afford that, now can itl" The problem may or not have actually been solved andonly Sunday will we know the answer. At last reports, there was no truth to the rumor that buggingdevices had been found in the Dolphin's locker room. ---------- Western Front - 1973 January 12 - Page 11 ---------- 'Friday) January 12,1973 ' Western 'Front 11 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL-UBC's Joanne Sargent (5) pullsdown the rebound through the hands of Western's Claudia Haaker (53) while Western's Trena Page (50)and UBC's Laurie Watson (21) attempt to block each other out in Western's 62-34 loss to UBC Tuesdaynight.

Grapplers meet Eastern, WSU Western's wrestling teamtakes to the road today and tomorrow for dual meet encounters with Eastern and Washington StateUniversity. Searching for their first dual meet win of the season, coach Rick Iverson's charges meetEastern this-evening in Cheney. Iverson picks the Savages to place third in the conference behindSouthern Oregon and Central. The Viking's heavyweight, "B.J." Bill Jones will get a chance to improveon his record as he takes on Eastern's new heavyweight. Eastern's previous big man, John Riva, is nolonger on the squad. Iverson said he feels that Jones may have a little easier going in this match. Jones almost pinned Riva at the University of British Columbia Tournament last fall. While the Cheney schoolhas no real standout wrestlers, the Savages are well balanced and according to Iverson have "good tomedium strength." Tomorrow, Western travels to Pullman to tangle with the Washington State Cougars.The Vikings will meet a very strong team. The best match of the evening could very well be betweenWestern's Admiral Flunder and Washington State's Leo Roozen. At the UBC Tournament, Flunder metRoozen for the 126 pound title match and lost a 7-5 decision. In losing the match, Flunder also lost theshot at outstanding wrestler of the tournament. "Admiral had it locked up until he lost that match,"Iverson said. "It'll be a real match to watch." For Iverson, the match will be a difficult one for him towatch. Iverson coached Roozen when Roozen was at high school in Mount Vernon as a freshman.Iverson is now coaching Flunder. Jones will face the biggest man on the Vikings entire wrestlingschedule when he meets the Cougars 274 pound giant. Jones is inexperienced, but Iverson said he'sbeen looking good so far. "I wish we could have him next year," he said. Jones is a senior.

Youth theatretouring 2 0 0 schools Western's youth theater entered its second season this week with plays that willbe presented every Thursday and Friday throughout the quarter. Three plays under the supervision ofDoug Vander Y a c h t , of the speech department, will be presented to more than 40,000 students at200 schools statewide before the end of winter quarter. "Sneeze in Time," Barry Kruse, resident directorof Nash Hall, and his wife, Jean, Western theater graduate student, is a i m e d at children inkindergarten through second grade. "It is a new concept in children's theater," Vander Yacht said. "Thechildren in the audience become co-actors with the cast and solve the major conflict of the play. Theybecome involved vocally, physically and emotionally." "Tom Sawyer" will be presented to children ingrades three through six. The cast will act out a new script written by Vander Yacht based'on MarkTwain's novel. Harold Pinter's "The Dumb Waiter" will be seen by junior high and high school students. It is directed by John Nestor, Western theater graduate student. Thirty students are involved with theplays. They take several classes in conjunction with the play three days a week. "These students areobtaining a good education in sociology," Vander Yacht said. "They eat with school children, go into the classroom and visit with them. They get to know them on a person to person basis." "This is the bestpublic relations job Western has going for it," he said. "That is an opinion, but it is borne out by all theletters we get from principals all over the state." R. 'Bucky' Fuller overcame ridicule; now world-renowned innovator, architect by JAY ECKERT R. Buckminster Fuller, scheduled to speak in Carver Gym at 3p.m. today, used to be considered a crackpot. But he has since outlived the majority of his critics and isnow considered to be some sort of genius. "Bucky" Fuller is perhaps best known for his geodesicdomes, a building concept he developed in the late forties. The nearest public example of one of hisdomes is the Boeing Spacearium at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle. Geodesic domes areeconomical and can be erected quickly, within hours in the case of pre-fabricated domes. More with lessis the guiding spirit of Fuller's Dymaxion world. He is the inventor of the Dymaxion house which can bebuild on an aircraft assembly line and airlifted to its destination. The concept was ridiculed byknowledgeable architects when Fuller first proposed it. In 1970 Theatre guild sponsors lantern showThe Bellingham Theatre Guild will sponsor a lantern slide show at the Guild Playhouse on Saturday at8:15 p.m. The show's highlinghts include a 1909 stage production of "Ben Hur" done locally, and earlymovie houses and industry in Bellingham. Narration will be provided by Fairhaven-born Galen Biery, who for 15 years has collected rare pictures of early Bellingham Bay cities which later became the City ofBellingham. The show will also have slides on the Mt. Baker Marathon Run in 1911, 1912, and 1913, and on the North Cross-State Highway. Tickets may be purchased at the door. the American Institute ofArchitects awarded Fuller its gold medal. Another of Fuller's concepts is synergy. Simply defined,synergy is the behavior of whole systems unpredicted by any of their parts or subsystems. The WorldGame, a concept that would lead to global resource planning, is another Fuller project. The World Gamewould utilize a network of computers to constantly analyze information from all sources. The gameconcept comes from war games except that in the World Game there would be no losers. BuckminsterFuller, born in 1895, is the holder of more than 20 honorary college degrees and numerous patents."Who's Who in America" devotes more than nine inches to him. Architect, engineer, mathematician,philosopher, inventor, lecturer, author, poet and designer are all roles that Fuller fills. But first andforemost he is an innovator.

Photo by JIM THOMSONStudent forum sets precedent By BOB McLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor Student apathy may reign, butstudent leaders who haven't given up hope are planning to hold another open forum panel in two weekswhere they and others can be questioned on their respective positions. In last Friday's open panel forum where five student leaders were questioned, only a handful of students attended. It was an attempt toopen channels between student leaders and the college community. In two weeks, student leadersplan on inviting college officials to a similar open forum, where students can ask them questions* JackieLawson, editor of the Western Front, described the open forums as a chance for students to state theirgripes and to pin student leaders down on various issues facing the college. Something negative Shebelieves that "something negative will get people jumping." "Many people gripe about studentgovernment as being i n e f f e c t i v e , " AS Housing Commissioner Craig Cole said. "This may be true, but no one comes to us and tells us." AS President Tod Sundquist said there are many things facingthis college which can't be done unless there is more student involvement. AS vice-president LarryDiamond pointed out the High Street survey and voter registration drive as areas which need student help now. He believes the voter drive may effect the politics of Bellingham. Student mayor "There is noreason why a Western student cannot be mayor or at least a city councilman," Diamond said. Astudent asked the panel why the student bookstore couldn't be changed back to a non-profit co-op.Cole, who recently became a member of the Bookstore Board, said that he believes the bookstore willbe going through quite a few changes. He pointed out that one of the problems is that the bookstore isoperating under an old charter which is not meeting the present needs of the students. He said thephilosophy now is that there should be more control by students. Olympia lobby efforts A student asked the panel why there is not any effective student lobbying in Olympia. "Many people up here haveworked their butts off in Olympia," Sundquist said. He cited faculty salaries as one area of studentslobbying. Soon, this college and others in the state will be 15 per cent behind the nation in faculty payscale, Sundquist said. He said that it is going to be hard to keep "great faculty" if they do not get a payraise. Cole pointed out that the Intercollegiate Political Affairs Commission (IPAC) is a student lobbyinggroup in Olympia which has lobbied for hitchhiking reform, residency requirement changes and women's rights. IPAC out of touch believes, though, is out of touch that with He IPAC students. "IPAC hasforgotten things important to students," Cole said. He cited IPAC's belated support of Senate Bill 138which would deny liquor licenses to racially exclusive clubs as an example. D i a m o n d describedWashPIRG as a potentially effective lobby group. "It is the most revolutionary, methodical scheme everto be brought before the Board of TRustees," Diamond said. $2 million budget With a possible budget of $2 million a year, WashPIRG may pursue not only environmental problems but other areas such asracism, trade and political fraud as well. As an example of what WashPIRG might do, in Oregon(OSPIRG), 16 college students did research on a Portland company dumping asphalt into theWillamette River. The group showed the owner that he could make a profit by using another method, butthe man become belligerent. The case went to court, and the owner finally ended up using the students' suggested method and is now making a profit, Diamond said. Cooperative education AS AcademicCoordinator Stan Cuykendall was asked about the status of the cooperative education and X-100proposals. Cuykendall said that the Academic Council passed the cooperative education proposal,which allows 15 credits for off-campus work, last quarter. He said that its biggest problem has beenmoney. "We are trying to get the college to give money for the program rather than go chasing aroundlooking for federal grants," he said. He is presently working on the X-100 proposal which allows credit for such things as working in student government or lobbying in Olympia. Service charge Cole said thattwo areas the housing commission is looking into are the $2.10 equipment service charge placed ontenants by Cascade Natural Gas Co. and the housing referral agencies. He maintains that the ownershould pay for the $2.10 service charge and not the tenant because the owner contracts for theequipment. Cole believes it is an illegal charge. He pointed out that several housing referral agencies,which charge $ 15 for finding people a place to live, are under investigation by a consumer protectionagency. "They are a big rip-off," Cole claims. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Front Editorials on tlie liome front by steve Johnston Arestudent leaders perfect? The open forum held last Friday, in which five student leaders (AS President Tod Sundquist, AS Vice President Larry Diamond, Housing Commissioner Craig Cole, Academic Coordinator Stan Cuykendall and myself) answered questions on their respective positions was not quite the fiascoone would imagine would occur on Western's apathetic campus. Granted, the VU lounge held a meagernumber of interested students, hardly the overflow crowd panel participants had hoped would attend; yetthe overall feeling at the conclusion of the forum was that gatherings of this type could indeed bebeneficial for the college community. As the organizer of this particular forum, I could not help but feel,prior to Friday, that the idea was well-intentioned. My motives for gathering student leaders to sit on apanel of . this type revolved around the fact that this would be an ideal opportunity for the collegecommunity to "grill" their elected and appointed leaders on their respective positions and policies.Perhaps the lack of noticeable response to the forum was due, in part, to the failure of adequatelypublicizing the event in advance. Be what it may, the five of us have decided to continue the forums on aregular twice-monthly basis, possibly featuring college administrators, faculty members and additionalstudents, all of whom will be available to answer questions and discuss issues affecting Westernstudents. The next forum will be held March 1, with the time and place to be announced at a later date.The forums will not be a successful venture unless students at Western care enough about issues toparticipate. The five of us along with many other students in decision-making positions toil many hours toeffect change and fight the apathy that has taken this campus by storm. Last week's Press Weekattempted to illustrate that the Western Front does not simply fall from the heavens every Tuesday andFriday, but rather requires many hours of thought and manpower to produce. The same processes areinvolved in the changes that occur in student government. Western's student leaders are willing to "puttheir necks on the line/' if students so desire, in an effort to honestly answer questions and respond tocomplaints from the constituency. Should no questions or complaints be posed, we will take such aresponse (or lack of response) as an indication that the college community is completely satisfied withour decisions and judgment. Reforms cannot be initiated by a few industrious individuals. They can onlybe successfully carried out if a majority of this campus takes the time to care. Let your voices be heard.Jackie Lawson To insure domestic tranquility We hope that during the coming election campaign, voterswill ask the candidates on the local, state and national level to consider modification of our present taxsystem. At the local level, in this state, the property tax worked very well at the turn of the century;however, the economic base has changed and we need to find a more equitable means of supportinglocal governments. At the state level, the present sales tax system needs to be changed so that we have an equitable tax for all income groups. At the national level, the federal income tax needs to be changed so that even those people with incomes in excess of $100,000 a year pay some tax. We have one of the best governmental structures in the world. We realize that we have to support it with tax money. We areonly asking that the taxing system be fair for all people regardless of income and that the taxing systembe based on the needs of today and not the needs of 50 or 100 years ago. We hope voters will askcandidates to work for a more equitable means of supporting our government.

NEWSROOM: 676-3161 ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 Thoseuppity plumbers in their Rolls-Royces I think most college teachers harbor secret desires to becomeplumbers. I know this for a fact because my teachers are always talking about plumbers. "Did you knowplumbers make more money than college presidents?" they ask and I can only shake my head inwonder over the plumber's gall. "Well, it is true and they double the salary of a college teacher." College teachers must take special courses in studying plumbers before they are allowed to join ' staff becausethey tefl the most astounding facts about plumbers' financial life-style. These facts can be only gatheredafter months of study. "A plumber can afford to drive a Rolls-Royce," they say, "and I can't even keep upwith the payments on my Volkswagen." Although I have never seen a plumber making house call in aRolls-Royce, I take my teachers word for this interesting insight into the world of high - plumbing finance. Of course my teachers tell me other things like the garbage men they see driving big Caddies, but mostly they stick pretty close their favorite subject of Rolls-driving plumbers. College teachers marvel over thefact that plumbers can charge $20 an hour to fix their toilets. But to keep up a Rolls-Royce it would seem only reasonable for a plumber to charge a college teacher this amount. It would seem plumbers enjoyflaunting their wealth in front of college teachers to earn all this attention. Plumbers must all meetsomewhere in their Rolls-Royces and then all drive by teacher's homes and toot their horns just to makethem mad. And it is easy to imagine a plumber pulling up in front of a teacher's shanty in his Rolls-Royce which has "Jones' Plumbing and Heating" painted across the door and giving away five dollar bills to theteacher's ragamuffin kids as he walks up the sidewalk. Very arrogant, these plumbers. - Before theteacher can even tell the plumber what is wrong with the toilet, the plumber first tells the teacher howmuch he makes every year. This amount is more than a teacher can hope to make in a lifetime. Then the plumber points out he didn't finish the third grade and can't even write his own name. Next to driving aRolls-Royce, there seems to be nothing which can make a college teacher madder than a plumber whodidn't finish the third grade, except maybe a garbage man who never went to school and started slingingtrash when he was six so he could buy a big Caddie just to drive by the teacher's house. Plumbers wereplaced on earth for the sole purpose of driving teachers out of their minds. When asking for a raise whocan teachers compare their pay to except plumbers? It wouldn't sound right for a teacher to say theymade less than a doctor. Everybody makes less than doctors, except of course plumbers and HowardHughes. Would it detract from a plumber's image to say he doesn't one morning decide to become aplumber, rather that he has serve an apprenticeship for as long as a teacher has to go to college? It would seem so because I have never heard this being pointed out in my many discussions about plumbers. Or would it help if a lowly plumber had a doctor's degree in pipe fitting or toilet plunging? Would he then beaccepted in college society as an equal and college teachers could direct their attention towards liontamers or some other menial tradesmen. Highly unlikely because plumbers would still be fixing toilets and doing unscholarly things. So it would seem plumbers are going to remain on the bottom of the socialscale and high on the financial scale. Whenever a college teacher vainly searches for an example of payinequities, the trusty plumber is always there, parked in front of the teacher's house in his Rolls-Royceand loudly tooting his horn. Still there is one other thing teachers never point out when talking aboutplumbers and that is a plumber is a tax payer, and by all accounts quite a healthy one at that. As such, a plumber is probably paying at least half of the teacher's salary. There is another side to the story, ofcourse, and that is the plumber's side. Most look on college teachers with disdain, saying collegeteachers are underworked and overpaid. But this discussion about plumbers and teachers shouldconvince some undecided major to switch to something like plumbing education and then have the bestof two worlds, a overpaid and underworked plumber. . . . , . ' , . . , . , . â€¢ â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 15 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Black View By Curtis Knight Tuesday's edition of the Western Front (2-8-72) caused more than the usual amount of attention in the Black Student Union office. The Front carried an ad for the Student Co-op Bookstore that featured a grinning, Sambo-type cartoon drawing for its logo. To say we Black students were offended by t h e d r a w i n g is an understatement; we were pissed off and wanted everyone concerned to know it. Les Savitch, the creator of the cartoon, came to the BSUmeeting Wednesday evening. He apologized for the drawing, saying he hadn't intended any slighting ofBlack people. In addition, he promised the logo would be scrapped immediately. In his eyes, thecharacter had no "color," so the afro drawn on the figure was to "in some way include minority students."The same character had been drawn with long, hippie style hair, and was to also appear in future ads."We wanted a new image to modernize our advertisements, to give students something to identify with."The general consensus of the Black students at the meeting was they were not satisfied. One studentobserved, "You mean to tell me, that in 1972, you're still not aware of what's been goin' on in thiscountry?" Undoubtedly, the ad wouldn't have appeared had Mr. Savitch been more sensitive to the Blacksegment of the campus community. The fact is, though, he cannot be sensitive to that segment if thetotal environment of the bookstore is White. There are no Black people on the staff of the bookstore.Secondly, Mr. Savitch shouldn't have been the only one to accept responsibility for the ad. It is obviousthat the upper management in the store had to OK it for print. The Western Front also shares in theblame, for they accepted the ad, and printed it. Again, the reason is clear! There are no Blacks on thestaff of the Front either. Incidents like this can be repeated, as long as Blacks are not recognized as partof the total campus community. Western to play debate host Western will host a regional I n v i t a t i on a l F o r e n s ic Tournament starting Friday in which 20 colleges and universities from Washingtonand Oregon will compete. Over 300 students from the Northwest are expected to attend. They willcompete in debates and four individual speaking events. The events will begin at 9 a.m. Friday andcontinue until Saturday when the final debate will be held in Lecture Hall 3. Some of the debates andindividual events will be held in classrooms around campus. Letters Condoms solve 10 problems?Editor, Western Front: Without stretching the point, (pardon the pun) I am nonplussed at those doltsamong us so lacking in vision that they snap back (pardon the pun) at the limitless blessings thatcondoms would bring to Western. Condoms would solve at least ten of our pressing problems: (1)Condoms would solve our classroom shortage problem. Classes now scheduled for 8,10, 12, 2 and 4could be forever canceled. These five hours would be redesignated "condom cohabitation" periods, usingthe dorm of your choice. (2) Condoms would solve our faculty shortage problem. With the cancelation of all classes at 8, 10, 12, 2 and 4, faculty loads would be so lightened that faculty would teach only asingle class and perhaps none at all. (3) Condoms would solve our budget crises. With a minimalfaculty needed, money now designated for faculty salaries could be turned over to the S.C.F.-theStudent Condom Fund. (4) Condoms would solve our health problem. Condoms would cure venerealdisease. The Student Health Service could be phased out. More money for the S.C.F. (5) Condomswould solve our counseling problems. Now grossly overburdened, the C o u n s e l i n g Bureau-withcondoms on the campus-would' find no further need for their services. (6) Condoms would solve ourempty dorms problem. Declaring all rooms reserved for "condom cohabitation" at 8, 10, 12, 2 and 4 - a n d all hours on weekendsâ€”would result in full dorm occupancy. (7) Condoms would give us thedirection we all seek for Western in the future. Western could be first with a/major m "condomology,"followed by a cluster collegeâ€”"The/College of Condom Studies." (8) Condoms woiild solve our need for innovative academic programs. The potentials for i l l u s t r a t ed an/cl animated l e c t u r e s ,demonstrations, encounter groups and lab courses boggle the mind. Live models would abound, aservice provided by S.C.F. (9) Condoms would give us an effective weapon to be used against the Statelegislature. The allure of condoms on campus would attract students from the entire country in suchdroves that the State legislature would be forced to increase budgets beyond any array of digits. (10)Condoms would solve Western Front 3 our traffic problems. There would be no need to drive anywherewhen condoms make it all here and available. WESTERN-"The College that Condoms Built!"

WASHINGTON, D.C.(CPS)- The auditorium six floors above the unemployment lines at the U.S. Employment Service herewas the stage last week for a Peoples' State of the Union program by populist groups and chaired byOklahoma Senator Fred Harris. The group, which included consumer advocate Ralph Nader, VietnamVeterans Against the War spokesman John Kerry and the President of the National Council of SeniorCitizens, Nelson Cruikshank, was nearly united in a supposition that the state of the union would bebetter if Nixon was not President. Each of nine speakers gave a short adress that was later telecastthrough the Public Broadcasting Service network. Each of the speakers related how the 1972 State ofthe Union message would affect their constituencies, and most called upon Nixon to match his rhetoricwith action. Nader told the 100 newspeople present that the 25 million total budget of the Food and Drug Administrationâ€”the consumer's watchdog in these areasâ€”is "an absurdity." O n l y four answeredaffirmatively when pressed on whether any of the Democratic presidential hopefuls offered a meaningfulalternative to Nixon. Nader said "McGovern would be an improvement" over Nixon, but he is unhappywith the D e m o c r a t i c cnadidates increasing reluctance to address themselves to issues.McGovern might "reverse the tide of indifference at best and imperialism at worst," Nader continued inresponse to further questioning. Harris closed the 45 minute program by announcing that he will holdhearings throughout the country this spring on agribusiness and other forms of concentrated economicpower. He said he will concentrate on states which will hold a democratic primary in an attempt to force the candidates to focus on these issues during their campaigns. Other members included LaDonnaHarris, an Indian and women's activist sitting in for Betty Friedan, Margie Tobankin, president of thenational student association, and Dennis Hayes of environmental action. In addition to Senator Harris,also present were Tony Dechant, president of the national farmers union and George Wiley of the n a t io n a l welfare rights organization. Federal Communications Commissioner Nicholas Johnson submitted a statement but could not come because the commission was holding hearings.

(Older people often try to start relevant conversations with collegekids on buses. Have you ever noticed that?) Anyway, the conversation swung around to welfare, andthe women was rather upset. "I can't understand how all these people who are on welfare can just sitback and take money for nothing. They don't work, so ' why should they get anything?" Thus she wenton and on. Finally the student asked the woman, "What about the people in Appalachia? They've beenlaid off their jobs a long time since industries moved out of the area. They can't go anywhere else. What are they supposed to do?" "Their own country should take care of them," the woman rep he d.Veterans plan demonstration Declaring that war is the only solution, the students demanded thatpriority be given to war p r o d u c t i o n , that the manufacture and import of luxuries be halted and thatthose in the higher income brackets bear a "greater economic burden." The students also urged thatuniversities be closed for the next two months so students could be trained for military duty, preferrablyin a newly-created "youth militia."

Frosh totalsdown WASHINGTON (CPS)-The total freshman enrollment at 4-year colleges is down for the first timesince World War II says a recent Carnegie Commission on Higher Education report. According to thestudy, the 444 four-year institutions participating in the study reported 40,600 freshman vacancies.Commission Chairman Clark Kerr pointed out that if the rate of the decrease was applied to the 1,500four-year institutions in the nation the total may reach 110,000 in all. That increase, then, would amount to 14 per cent over 1970. The total undergraduate enrollment increased by only 2.4 per cent. A littlemore than half of the freshman decrease was in private colleges, the report said. Commission ChairmanKerr said that registrars gave the decline in job opportunities and the poor economic situation asreasons for the decline. Student health seeking opinions on insurance Student comments and opinionson Western's official health insurance policy are being solicited by the Student Health ServicesCommittee. The committee is considering changes in the insurance program at Western and needsinput from students before making its decision, according to a committee member. Comments should be sent to the Student Health Services Committee, care of Student Health Service, Edens Hall Basement. â€¢ | | | Everyday's a special day at ENNEN'S THRIFTWAY High .

By JAY ECKERT StaffReporter "Carnal Knowledge" is the story of the sexual adventures of two men from their college days in the fifties to the present. Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel are the two men; Candice Bergen, Ann-Margret and Cynthia O'Neal are their women. The screenplay was written by Jules Feiffer, who revealshis hatred of people. N i c h o l s o n ' s character, Jonathan, is one of the most immature characters toappear on the screen. He screams and whines and thinks of women purely as sex objects. Sandy(Garfunkel) makes the mistake of listening to him. quite adequately. Garfunkel is believable for the firsthalf of the movie. Later development of Garfunkel's character seems reasonable within the framework ofthe plot but does strain plausibility. Ann-Margret proves she is more than a pretty face, and she can act if given the chance. Rita Moreno must need the money. Mike Nichols, director and producer, hasattempted a satire of male-female relationships but resorts to cheap tricks when the satire fails. MissJobert plays a woman who shoots her rapist and dumps the body in the ocean. Everything's fine untilCharles Bronson shows up and smiles at her. Bronson knows something and this disturbs Mellie(Jobert). She has a very active imagination, which doesn't help things much. The flaws in the movie areexcessive length and plot complications that detract from the tightness of the story. A half hour to forty-five minutes could be trimmed from the film w i t h o u t destroying the continuity.

Almost a year was required to bring "A Day at the Races" to thescreen. Six months were required to develop the story and distill it into a 90-minute stage act. After twomonths of rehearsing, the Marx brothers presented the act for four shows a day, seven days a week, inthe theaters of Duluth, Minneapolis, Chicago, Cleveland and San Francisco. By gauging the audiencereaction the Marx brothers were able to select their best skits and routines for the movie.

Grace, Del Monte, Getty Oil, Goodyear, Monsanto, Union Carbide,Kaiser Aluminum, Aetna Life Insurance, Boeing Aircraft, Dow Chemical and American Cyanimid all havein common? They are all becoming farmers and are radically t r a n s f o r m i n g American agriculture. The net result of this entrance by large corporations into what was once a strong bastion of ruggedAmerican individualism and free enterprise can be seen from the following: â€”The growth of a newfarming conglomerate, the agribusiness, which seeks to dominate American agriculture by setting upvertically integrated food delivery systems capable of controlling the entire food process from harvest tosupermarket. â€” T h e c o n t i n u ed deterioration of rural America and the further acceleration of thegreatest migration in historyâ€”40 million to the cities in the last 50 years. Today '800,000 peopleannually are leaving the countryside for the cities further aggravating the problems which plague urbanAmericaâ€”crime, welfare, pollution, congestion and the whole catalogue of city ills. â€”The beginning of a prolonged and intense legislative and political struggle to contain the growing agribusinessconglomerates by promoting an old ideaâ€”land reform. Dramatic upheaval U . S . Department ofAgriculture statistics begin to tell_ the story of the dramatic upheaval taking place on the nation's farms. In 1950, there were 5.4 million farms in America; today that figure is down to around 2.9 million. Earl L.Butz, secretary of agrictulre, has predicted that the current figure will decline by another million duringthe coming decade. As the number of farms declines, the average size of the remaining farms has gone up. It's now over 380 acres, compared with 215 acres 20 years ago. In 1969, the 40,000 largest farms,representing less than two per cent of the total number, accounted for more than one-third of America'sfarm sales. Most of these large farms remain in the hands of independent farmers and major foodcompanies such as Del Monte; Libby, McNeil Libby; and H.J. Heinz. Different competition But thenew agribusiness and conglomerates such as Tenneco represent a totally different type of competition.Unlike the older agribusiness companies which are essentially food companies and which must show aprofit somewhere in the food distribution chain, the newer agribusiness giants don't necessarily have to.The millions of dollars which they invest in buying land and building food processing plants mayrepresent only a fraction of their total earnings. Tenneco, with extensive investments in such fields as oil production, ship-building and manufacturing, derives only four per cent of its sales from agriculture.Why are major corporations suddenly so enthralled with farming, an industry where profit margins aregenerally small? The motives are chiefly three: land speculation, tax dodging and the development ofvertically integrated food systems. Tax shelter- The tax shelter works as follows: Suppose a companyinvests $1 million a year of non-agricultural earnings in improving a large tract of farmland by plantingfruit trees or laying down irrigation pipes. It pays no taxes on the $1 million and can even deduct from its remaining taxes the cost of maintenance for the trees until they bear fruit and the depreciable value ofthe irrigation pipes. Then suppose, as is frequently the case, that each dollar invested increases thecorresponding market value of the land. Suppose further that the company sells its land at the end often years to another corporation. The profit from the land sale is approximately equal to the $10 millionwhich the company invested in the property. However, these earnings are now in the form of capitalgains and are thus taxed at 25 per cent rather than 48 per cent. Thus the company has made amultimillion dollar profit at the taxpayer's expense. Any income the farm earns over those ten years issimply frosting on the cake. Land development Land development in the form of suburban housingtracts, shopping malls, retirement communities and industrial parks is the ultimate speculative game for the farming conglomerates and the source of untold millions in profit. The third motive, building avertically integrated food delivery system, is the one which most directly threatens the small farmer.Again the example used here is Tenneco but other agribusiness conglomerates utilize similar methodsto accomplish their goals. Tenneco controls over a million acres of prime farmland in Arizona andCalifornia largely through its 1967 purchase of the Kern County Land Company. On this land it grows adazzling variety of crops including corn, cotton, sugar beets, almonds, oranges, grapes, lemons,peaches, pears and plums. Tenneco also has its own chemicals, its own farm machinery (J.I. CaseCo.), its own farm management firm (Heggblade Marguleas), its own processing plant and its ownboxes (Packaging Corporation of America). Government programs so heavily favor bigness that JamesHightower of the Agribusiness Accountability Project, a public interest group investigating agribusinessconglomerates, has remarked that "government has p r o v i d e d socialism for agribusiness and freeenterprise for the small farmer and farm worker." Government subsidies Besides the seemingly obvious advantages that the conglomerate farmer has over the small farmer such as access to credit (a 1966USDA study showed the corporate farmers are able to borrow twice the proportion of their assets thatfamily farmers can), the new agribusiness giants benefit from numerous government subsidies andprivileges. T h e y e n j o y the government-sanctioned privilege of exploiting their workers to a degreeunparalleled in any industry because the current federal minimum farm wage is $1.30 per hour-30 centsbelow the minimum wage for all other workers. In addition, the farming corporations receive huge p a ym e n t s through the government crop subsidy program. Since the large corporate farms can "not grow" more crops than the family farmer, their subsidy payments are more generous. Charles Schulze,former director of the Bureau of the Budget, estimates the total cost of farm subsidies at $9 to $10billion annually with a disproportionate share of the payments goint to the largest farmers. Millions forresearch Millions of dollars are also spent by federal and state governments for agricultural researchthrough grants to leading universitiesâ€”a subsidy that no other industry enjoys. Although the researchbenefits the small farmer, the major portion of it is designed to breed crops and design machines forlarge scale farming. Another subsidy comes in the form of low-cost water piped to the farms by federally-funded reclamation projects. Much of the cost of building the dams and canals is borne by the generaltreasury and by hudroelectric power consumers. â€¢ It is this latter subsidy which is the focus ofincreasing attention by the new lobby groups, such as the National Coalition for Land Reform, and isnow under legal challenge. The enabling legislation, the 1902 Reclamation Act and s u b s e q u e n tamendments, required that any use of federally-supplied water be limited to individual holdings of 160acres and the farmer must live on or near his property. Although written into law 69 years ago, theresidency requirements and the acreage limitation have never been enforced. Legal challenge Lastmonth, however, in a legal challenge based on the 1902 law, a federal district judge handed down adecision which if upheld, could break up the large corporate farms which control two-thirds of theirrigated f a r m l a n d s in Southern California's rich Imperial Valley. Judge William Murray upheld theresidency requirements and ruled that the valley's big absentee landowners were not legally entitled toreceive Colorado River water to irrigate their fields. T h i s d e c i s i o n , with multi-million dollarimplications for California agriculture, ran counter to another federal court decision in January, 1971,which favored the large landholders. In the earlier court suit, which was filed in the closing d a y s of theJohnson administration, the Justice Department charged the Imperial Valley landowners with violatingthe 160-acre limitation. The Nixon administration eventually tried the case and Judge Howard B.Turrentine ruled in favor of the landowners. The Justice Department, in the words of Solicitor GeneralErwin N. Griswold, refused to appeal the decision because "as a result of my consideration, I havebecome convinced that we would not win the case in the court of appeals, and we should not win it."The Murray decision poses new problems for the Nixon administration. For now, it has decided not to file an immediate appeal but rather seeks to convince Judge Murray that there is no way to reverseprevious wrongs. Congressional bills Congress has also entered the growing controversy with theintroduction of two bills, the Family Farm Act of 1972 and t h e Reclamation Lands Authority Act. TheFamily Farm Act, introduced by Sen. Gaylord Nelson, D.-Wis., and several other Democrats, wouldrequire corporations owning more than $3 million in non-farm income per year to divers itself of anylands used for agriculture. The Reclamation Land Authority Act, proposed by Sen. Fred Harris, D.-Okla., would seek to carry out provisions of the 1902 act by establishing a t h r e e - m e m b e r federalreclamation authority to purchase "excess" land held in violation of the 1902 act and sell or lease it tothose seeking land in a 20th century revival of homesteading. These are just the opening salvos in whatpromises to be a long and bruising battle with consequences extending far beyond the farmlands of rural America, where one observer has already called the growth of the agribusiness conglomerates thebeginning of "a kind of 20th century agricultural feudalism," to the very essence of American life fordecades to come. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 15 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Western Front Americans, The Flag, Students, and Frank Brooks A manwho says he is proud of America and fears it is going down the drain was booed recently while delivering a speech defending the new Arco plant which is coming to Whatcom County The negative responsecame from the crowd at a public hearing held by the Army Corps of Engineers. The forum was called totake testimony on Arco's application for a permit to discharge wastes into Puget Sound. Frank Brooks,a lumberman and owner of Frank Brooks Manufacturing Company at the foot of Cornwall Avenue,describes the subject of pollution as "emotional." He believes industry and clean environment can gohand-in-hand and that industry is necessary. Brooks praised a Fairhaven moratorium group for listeningto him when he talked there. Although he terms colleges as "historically progressive," he said they haveintellectual extremes and an impractical outlook. "I'm scared as hell of what some of those guys areteaching," he said. Brooks came of age during the depression, served on a submarine during World WarII and is a former commander of the Washington State American Legion. After the war, he carved alumber empire out of Canada and after 19 years, gave the ownership of it to his employees. Brooksbelieves in patriotism, capitalism, law and order and the threat of communist infiltration. He saysAmerica's enemies are real and because of socialist trends and government regulation, "business isn'tas fun as it used to be." He also believes in freedom, education, equal opportunity and thinks his peergroup probably is more to blame than the younger generation for today's state of affairs. "We raised you guys," Brooks said. "If you aren't reaching your potential, we're to blame." He said America is thestrongest nation the world has ever known, but "we don't know what to do with our strength." Hebelieves the problem with America is that people have lost the will to work. "People are trying to getsomething for nothing," he said. "They don't think about the v/elfare of others." He cited other problemsas greed, welfare and a lack of self discipline. "Kids don't know what they have,'- Brooks said. "They'vebeen given so much in the way of health, wealth and security that they're dumbfounded by it. They don'tknow what to do with their strength. "The result will be that we won't be able to give as much to theworld and our country as we could." Brooks hopes such trends reverse themselves, but he is notoptimistic. He doesn't consider himself a conservative. He opposed the war in Vietnam, but said thatonce in it America could have, and should have, won it in thirty days without nuclear weapons. He isproud of the American Legion, whom he calls "flag wavers." He said their goals are "to uphold theconstitution, maintain law and order, combat autocracy of both the classes and the masses, promotepeace and good will on earth, make right the master of might and preserve the American heritage."Brooks believes the most patriotic groups in America have been foreign immigrants, those who won theWest and those who fought for their country. He is disturbed by the lack of discipline and morale in thearmed forces and fears communist infiltration through such groups as the Weathermen and the BlackPanthers. Brooks believes a strong defense is necessary and he would prefer a nuclear exchange tosurrender. "Ask any Czech, any Pole, any Hungarian," he said. "There is not substitute for freedom."We have, freedom and don't appreciate it. People who have known it and don't have it would agree." He is proud of America's role after World War II. "We conquered two nationsâ€”Japan and Germany," hesaid. "Then we came in and grubstaked them and raised them until now they're an economic threat tous. No nation in the world has ever done this." He said that during the war he learned to hate thesepeople but feels the opposite now. "They're great people, but don't forget, we gave them theiropportunity." Brooks would like to see America as an example to the whole world of less pollution, ahigher standard of living, more fun, more morals, less crime and more intelligence." L eoder sees SCCstrike as important precedent By KEN RITCHIE Managing Editor A leader of the first teacher strike inthis state's history spoke at Western last Thursday night. John Barton, president of the SeattleCommunity College Federation of Teachers, talked about the intentions and consequences of the strikeat SCC. One of the purposes of the walkout Feb. 3 was to determine if public employees have the rightto strike if health, welfare and safety are not affected. The state will attempt to win a permanentinjunction against any strike by teachers at SCC. This will set a legal precedent for any future workstoppage by teachers in Washington. The strike, which was 95 per cent effective, according to Barton,was halted by a temporary restraining order issued in King County superior court the day after thewalkout. Early last week, teachers agreed not to stop work again until the legal issue of a teacher strike is settled or until July 1, whichever occurs first. Another of the key issues in the strike at SCC was thedefinition of part-time and full-time faculty members. AFT wanted a full-time faculty member be definedas anyone teaching 50 per cent or more of a normal load, instead of 66-2/3 per cent. A part-time facultymember would be defined as one teaching less than half of the normal load. Currently the cut-off point is 66-2/3 per cent. The Board of Trustees refused to negotiate on this point. Barton repeatedly stressedthat students at SCC were not getting quality education from part-time instructors. Part-timers are oftennot available for any conferences with their students because they often have other jobs to go to. Theyare not paid for any time other than classroom work, such as time spent grading papers. Barton told ofone case where a part-time instructor at SCC also taught at a community college in Tacoma and taught classes at Ft. Lewis in order to earn an adequate salary. One of the advantages of employing part-timeinstructors, from the administration's viewpoint, is that this allows them to claim that more courses areavailable at less cost than if full-time instructors were employed. SCC has about 300 full-time and 500part-time faculty members. Another of the 14 proposals put forth by the federation was the request of a5.5 per cent increase in annual salary and more equitable pay for part-timers. The Board of Trustees atSCC did offer a one per cent "salary adjustment" for faculty. The administration at SCC got a 3.6 percent increase. A state-appointed impasse c o m m i t t e e last Friday recommended that the trusteesand the federation not negotiate further on unresolved issues of the 1971-72 contract, which caused thewalkout. Instead the two negotiation teams should, according to the impasse committee, concentrateon the new contract which will begin the first of April. At the next strike, Barton said, the leaders will beready to go to jail. JOHN BARTON Task force endorses ed reform Montana students organize PIRGBillings, Mont. (CPS)-A s t u d e n t directed group, MONTPIRG (Montana Public Interest ResearchGroup), is attempting to organize state college students into a force capable of representing and givingvoice to Montana consumers. Following the successful example of similar organizations in Oregon andMinnesota, Montana students have formed local organizational groups on the public and private collegesin Montana. Representatives of the various campus groups held a statewide organizational meeting inHelena in November. The student delegates discussed financing the organization, communicationsamong the local boards and formulation of a general timetable for the further d e v e l o p m e n t of theorganization. The delegates voted to apply immediately for status as a non-profit corporation and thenchose one student from each campus to serve on a temporary board of directors for MONTPIRG.MONTPIRG will attempt to increase public university student fees by $3 a year, thereby creating afinancial base from which the organization can hire a staff of lawyers, scientists, doctors or otherprofessional people who would represent consumers in the courts. These professional people would beunder control of a s t a t e board of directors composed of students elected from each campus.Participating schools would elect one representative for each 2,000 students. MONTPIRG board ofdirectors would be responsible for deciding which issues would receive priority and would direct theirfunds accordingly, resorting to lawsuits if necessary to protect consumers in the a r e a s ofenvironment, business-consumer relations, health care for workers, discrimination cases or other publicissues. The area campus groups will spend the next months discussing their plans with communityleaders, interested clubs and persons in their communities. A strong drive will be made to convince thestudent bodies of the desirability of the MONTPIRG organization. Washington, D.C. (CPS)-The conceptof a federal foundation to promote major reform in higher education has won strong endorsement from atask force formed to study the possible objectives and activities of such a foundation. Objectives for thefoundation outlined in the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) reportinclude: - s t i m u l a t i n g major organizational and curricular innovation through federal funding. -translating the results of research and development data in education into programs of reform usable bycolleges and universities. â€”serving as a clearing house for informatio on major innovations, structuralchanges and curricular developments in higher education. -helping institutions gain the ability to definetheir missions and establish their priorities. The foundation would address itself to vocational-technicalschools as well as community, junior, state, public and private colleges and universities. The reportconcedes there is "some evidence of the academy's (higher education in general) willingness to translate the ideas of reform into reality," but adds, "some radical reforms at the very center or core of theinstitution will have to be introduced." Although the concept of a foundation for post-secondaryeducation was introduced into both houses of Congress as part of their respective higher education bills,the House dropped the idea while the Senate adopted it. With the bill awaiting conference committee,the AASCU report is interpreted as a strong bid by the education lobby to have the foundation includedin the final compromise bill. Temple faculty faces fines Philadelphia (CPS)-Temple Universitycommittees of s t u d e n t s , faculty and administrators are considering an all-campus disciplinary code that would apply to faculty and administrators as well as students. The code would provide for fines upto $200 if a teacher is repeatedly late for class or if he gives a student bad academic advice. Smallerfines â€”$50 or lessâ€”could be levied on a faculty member if he or she refused to allow a student to take exception, in a reasonable manner, to the faculty member's views. Campus courts would have thepower to levy fines ranging from $5 to $200 and to dismiss s t u d e n t s , faculty and administrators. Aperson convicted of smoking marijuana could be fined $50 and put on probation for a semester.Destroying university property could call for fines up to $200 and dismissal for the offender.

(CPS)-The U.S. government has threatenedto suspend all federal contracts with Columbia University unless Columbia can prepare a program to end sex discrimination in its hiring, promotion and salary standards. Two plans already submitted by theuniversity administration have been rejected as inadequate by the U.S. Department of Health, Educationand Welfare (HEW)' The threat to cut off Columbia from federal contracts was announced last November following a HEW investigation which exposed ' discrimination against women at the university.

WAAC hopes to convince HEW to accept its plan as the university has so far failedto outline any more changes it is prepared to make in response to the HEW suit. WAAC voted January12 to support 30 custodial staff women (classified as "maids") who had been given notice that their jobswould terminate in 16 days. University spokesmen claim the women, the majority of whom are black and Latino, are being fired because of budgetary cutbacks, although more janitors were recently hired.Janitors and maids perform basically the same duties, but the maids are paid $18 a week less. SinceJanuary, 1970, more than 350 colleges and universities have been charged with discrimination against iwomen in violation of the 1965 f e d e r a l executive order prohibiting sex and race discrimination byfederal contractors. About 40 schools have reportedly had contracts delayed as a result of the charges.

Women's Commission offersalternatives By MARY JO WHITE Staff Reporter The women's movement is telling us that there arealternatives for women; that a woman can be something other than what the stereotype suggest' shemust be. What does alternatives for women mean at Western? It may mean the Women's Commission, an information and resource center that has been operating since fall in Viking Union 225. Designed asan office for all women, the commission is both a drop-in center and an action center. It provides a place for women to talk to other women, and for women to work together on researching the status of womenat Western, producing a historical calendar, publishing a newsletter, proposing a women's studiesprogram, and helping the College Cooperative Nursery.

Thecenter, in addition to providing primary medical care at no cost to the individual, will coordinate healtheducation programs. 20 to 25 per cent of the people of Whatcom County are classed as "low income,"according to the center organizers. This statistic includes 80 per cent of the total population over 65.The group thinks these low income people need medical care for which many of them are unable to pay.Public Assistance provides ambulatory and emergency services, but does not adequately meet the day-to-day needs of the low-income population. In addition to low-income persons, many middle-incomepeople are unable to afford high medical expenses. "I think medical care is real expensive for anyone,"Campbell Kintz, one of the center organizers, said. The health center services will be voluntarily provided by d o c t o r s , nurses, other professionals and a trained lay staff. Believing that many primarymedical services can be provided by a trained staff, the center organizers are trying to recruit personswith a medical background, such as medics and paramedics. The League of Collegiate Veterans islooking for veterans with medical background to aid the health center. Those who would like to volunteertheir services can contact the league in VU 226. "We'd like to have doctors present when needed, butwill have a trained staff to handle most cases," Kintz said. Believing that education is essential to insure a healthy individual and community, the center intends to offer classes in preventive medicine, nutritionand hygiene, first aid, child birth and development, drug abuse and any other subjects in which enoughinterest is shown. "There's a real need for health education," Kintz said. "What I'd like to see is peoplewho are knowledgeable enough to not to have to depend entirely on a doctor or a health center." Twotentative locations for the clinic are the Unitarian Church building at Franklin and Gladstone streets and a building at 314 E.

Anyone interested in volunteering his services in any way can attend a general m e e t i n g at St. James Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.Members of the steering committee for the health center are Kintz, Peggy Miller, Peter Jackman,Michael Chiavario, Percy Truedson, Dea Jimenez and Peter Bresser. Recycling resumed by Inter-HallCounci Inter-Hall Council decided Thursday to continue the recycling program in the dorms on atemporary basis. The program 'was called to a halt by Harry Patz, director of the Huxley EnvironmentalReference Bureau because of apparent lack of interest. Patz listed other causes for the shutdown as the lack of steady volunteers, the lack of a central logistical approach to removing the recyclable materialsand trouble generating from the fire marshall about the fire danger. Under the temporary program, a truck will be borrowed from Housing Programs after business hours and will be used to haul away thestockpiled materials. This is only a temporary measure-until other systems can be set up, VirginiaRamsay, assistant director of Housing Programs, said. Prior to this action there was an emergencyclean-up organized by Barry Maddocks, director of recycling in the dorms. Patz said this was only aone-time affair to clean out the dorms to satisfy the fire marshall. Underground press stepped on again(CPS)-Harrassment of the underground press, once very common several years ago, appears to bemaking a comeback. In Atlanta, Ga.; the Great S p e c k l e d Bird- reports stepped-up harrassment ofpeople who hawk its paper. The local police have been writing tickets for violating pedestrian duties andother minor charges. One judge, according to the Jan. 10 Bird is said to have explained, "That's whythey're (the police) down there-to keep you people off the street." The Bird has recently publishedexposes of slumlords, including in-laws of liberal Mayor Sam Massell and the mayor himself. In Dallas,Texas, police are now enforcing a state law that prohibits "soliciting in the streets," according to theIconoclast. The paper reports that street sales are essential because the city has forbidden them theuse of new boxes. "So far the street dealers have been told that they have the constitutional right tostand on the sidewalk and display papers to passing motorists. "But if someone stops and wants tobuy a paper, to step into the street to hand it to them, or to collect the quarter, -is... :a -violation'- of ^the-newly*, enforced law." BUYBACKS. EVEN THE WORD MAKES ME FURIOUS. We've got a prettygood idea how you feel about our buyback policy. We're not exactly euphoric about it ourselves.Because buyback time (this quarter it's March 13 to March 17) is when we catch the most flack. So weworked out a little improvement that might put some extra money in your pocket. During exam weekwe'll have a guy in our store who buys books no longer used on this campus. The tricky part is that theguy sets his own prices (he works for a large book-buying firm). Therefore we can't promise anythingbeyond the fact that he'll buy some of the texts you no longer need. At the same time, we can promiseyou 60 percent of the original price on hardbacks. Providing they're being used next quarter. Plus we'llgive you 50 percent of the original price on paperbacks . . . in keeping with the same provisions. Theprice difference is because paperbacks wear out faster. What neither we nor the book dealer can buy are books that aren't used anywhere anymore. It's a pity, but some publishers seem to bring out a newedition every time the weather changes. Which is the main reason we haven't found a cure to thebuyback blues . . . though we're doing all we can to ease the pain with a little buyback green C^\STUDENT COOPERATIVE BOOKSTORE ., p. t,j^.- A-vA...- ~'i :â€¢- I ' .

Western's MikeDonnelly started the ball rolling by dropping previously unbeaten Dave Robinson, 7-5. The win,Donnelly's tenth against no defeats in conference, will probably earn him the number one seed inEllensburg this weekend. Tom Tripple, wrestling at 142, broke his thumb in practice Friday against LeeAndersen and was forced to forfeit his match. The broken thumb will also keep him out of the conference playoffs. Eastern Oregon's last points came by way of a hard fought 3-2 decision by Larry Wells overJerry Bailey. be the roughest game of the rapidly ending season. The Vikings will journey to Seattle fora non-conference dump EO; this week Lee Andersen, the powerful 158 pounder, kept his Evcounbeaten string intact by narrowly decisioning Bill Delashmatt, 2-1. Andersen had beaten Delashmattlast year for the 158 championship in conference. Lee then went on to place fourth in the NAIAtournament. Western recorded back to back pins with Randy Deming and Mike Compton combiningtheir efforts to rack up twelve Viking points. D e m i n g dropped his opponent in 6:52 while Comptondumped his man in a time of 5:59. Jeff Michaelson came up with what Coach Lanny Bryant called "hisbest effort" as he helped to continue his conference unbeaten string while helping Mountie Greg Nelsonto break his. battle with the Falcoms of Seattle Pacific College, a team whose inconsistency this yearrivals Western's consistency. The Falcons have been up and down all season, and right now are up, with a 15-7 record, following wins over the Universities of Alaska and Portland this past weekend. SPC hasnow won seven of its last eight, the lone defeat coming to Central in Ellensburg. Tha Falcons, coachedby Les Habbegger, are paced by 6-4 guard John Borton, 6-6 forward Jim Ballard and 6-10 center DougLove. While the Viks have clinched the number one spot for the NAIA District I playoffs, SPC is stillfighting for a regional berth in the NCAA playoffs.

JV's lose first home gome, 64-60 Too much Wayne Korsmo and too many foulsresulted in the first home loss of the season for Western's junior varsity cagers 64-60, Friday night inCarver Gym, to the Seattle University freshmen. Korsmo scored 26 points to lead the Papooses to theirtenth win of the year against five losses, while the Viks' record dropped to 12-4. Seattle lead the see-saw battle by three at the half, 32-29. Korsmo picked up 11 of his points in the first period, as didteammate Bob Gross. Gross finished with 18. The Papooses led most of the second half, their biggestlead being seven points, at 41-34. With SU leading 54-49, Western staged a rally by scoring sixunanswered points on a Dick Bissell field goal and free throws by Jim Hotvet and Mark Salzman. Fromthere on in the contest changed hands until a Chuck Fisher free throw left the Viks trailing by only one,61-60 with 25 seconds left. However, Korsmo hit a free throw and a-last- second field goal to give SUthe win. Western scored one more field goal than SU did, but made only 12 of 21 free throws, whileSeattle made 18 of 27. The Vikings won the rebound battle, 55-47. Fisher grabbed 16 for the Viks, withSalsman getting eight, Bissell and Hotvet seven each and Bob Hodges six. Gross had 14 caroms forSeattle, and Dave Coutunine. â€¢ Hotvet led Western scorers with 19 points. Fisher had 14 andSalzman and Bissell nine each. In a no-count game Saturday night, the jayvees defeated a team fromthe Western Black Student Union, 90-68. Hotvet scored 20 in that one, with Salzman netting 18 andHodges getting 10. For the BSU, Jack Ervin notched 15, followed by Robert Hayes and Earl Sheppardwith 12 each, Tex Knutson with 11, and Curtis Knight with 10.

Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Western Front 11 Vikings cinch Evergreen title, District playoffberth By KENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Western's basketball team had one of its easiest weekends of the season, for a change, but it also proved to be one of the biggest. The Vikings defeated SouthernOregon College, 89-64, on Friday and downed Oregon Technical Institute, 93-59, on Saturday to clinchboth the Evergreen Conference title and first place in NAIA District I. The Viks, who have had to go down to the wire in most of their games, were able to breath relatively easy in the pair of wins, while EasternWashington was defeating Central, 92-80, in Cheney. Eastern and Central both have three Evco lossesnow, while Western's league record is 10-0, and only two more Evco games to play. However, the firstof the two will be another tough one as the Vikings travel to Cheney Friday for a rematch with theEastern Savages.

Going into last weekend's action, the Vikings were ranked fourth nationallyamong NAIA schools, eighth by United Press International among all small colleges, and ninth byAssociated Press. Against Southern Oregon, Western played a fairly sloppy ball game offensively, butused the always-tough defense to do the job. SOC had the lead at 2-1, 7-5 and 9-7, but at that point two Gary White baskets put the Viks ahead to stay. The Viking defense held the Red Raiders to a frigid26.7 per cent field goal shooting, while Western hit on 33 of 69, for 47.8 per cent. Western led at thehalf, 37-27, and rammed through 52 second half points. SOC was never closer than nine after theintermission. With a nine-point spread, White and Tom Bradley began a two-man show which finallyresulted in a 20-point lead, at 61-41. White and Bradley led a balanced scoring attack with 19 and 15,respectively. Two other Vikings reached double figures, with Rudy Thomas scoring 15 and Chip Kohrhitting 11. The Raiders lost nearly all their scoring strength when 6-7 center Allen Graves and 6-2forward Ben Murray fouled out of the game. Murray left with 16 points, while Graves had 14. No otherRaider reached double figures. Western dominated the boards, collecting 69 rebounds to SouthernOregon's 38. Thomas and White each grabbed 14 for the Viks, while Murray led the Raiders with 10.The loss left SOC with a 1-8 Evco record and 7-14 season mark. In Saturday's OTI game the Vikingsput on what head coach Chuck Randall called "one of our better showings." Western never trailed, asthe Big Blue raced to a 51-25 half time margin. The Vikings attack was paced by guard Mike Franzawho scored 20 of his 24 points in the first half.

The 6-1 junior finished the evening's work with only one missed shot, atwisting hook that bounced off the rim. Four Viks hit double figures. Following Franza, White tallied 13and Thomas 12. Mike Buza, 6-5 reserve center, turned in his finest performance of the season with 12points and seven rebounds. Western's defense held the usually hot-shooting Owls to just .21 of 68 triesfrom the field for 30.9 per cent. Mel Farris, who entered the game with a 22 point plus scoring average to lead the league, was held to just three field goals and seven charity tosses for 13 points, which washigh for OTI. Kohr led all rebounders with 11, as Western won the battle of the boards, 58-41 over asmall but fiesty bunch of Owls who last week upset Eastern Washington, 92-90 in Oregon. In clinchingthe District I first place spot the Viks insured themselves a playoff berth for the trip to the NAIA nationals in Kansas City, Mo. The first game in the best of three series will be played on the number two team'scourt, which will p r e s u m a b l y be Eastern Washington.

This team is made up of Western women, and they are ranked first in thestate, and had 9-0 record going into action this past weekend against the University of Oregon andPortland State University, both games in Portland. While the male Vikings are working on a 21-0 markand aiming for a trip to the NAIA tournament in Kansas City, Mo., the women are also hopeful of a tripto a national tourney, this one in Normal, Illinois. The women's team, coached by Miss Lynda Goodrich,a fifth year student from Everett, depends on many of the same things the men do, such as toughdefense and a balanced attack, to win their games. However, Miss Goodrich says the basic offense isquite different. "We are really balanced," Coach Goodrich said, "with a strong bench. Usually everyoneon the team scores." The Vikings have averaged a victory margin of 18 points for the nine games.Leading scorers for Western are Kathy Hemion (whose older brothers, Whit and Dave, played forWestern's varsity a few years ago) and Teresa Nafziger. Other members of the women's squad areWendy Hawley, Trina Page, Alice Textor, Kathy Knutzen, Geri Campbell, Chris Carder, Bazona andSherri Stripling. Pam Among the Vikings victims are Simon Fraser University, Center, the University ofWashington, Pacific Lutheran University and the University of British Columbia. "Central and most of the Canadian teams are tough, highly-rated ballclubs," Miss Goodrich said. "The action is prettycompetitive, and the talent is really growing." To get to the nationals, Western would have to win theregionals, March 3-4, at the University of Idaho. The regionals will include teams from Washington,Oregon, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia and Alaska. "I think one of the things we have going for ourteam," Miss Goodrich said, "is that we play a p r e t t y good man-to-man defense. Most women'steams play various types of zones so this gives us a little bit of an advantage." â€¢ There is no leaguein Washington as such, and most scheduling is done on a sort of c a t c h - a s - c a t c h - c a n basis. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 15 - Page 12 ---------- -* 12 Western Front Tuesday, February 15, 1972 Recognition restored to Senate oks hitchhiking skiteam, not money as deadline kills bills By BOB MCLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor The AssociatedStudents Affairs Commission (ASAC) reversed an earlier Activi

C. "Bill" McDonald. The college received permission to allow liquor incertain dorms from the Board of Trustees at their August meeting. Guidelines were established under aplan submitted by the Interhall Council and the Housing and Dining Advisory Committee. Higginson,Highland, Birnam Wood, Beta Gamma and the mobile homes sent in their applications and voter tallysheets to the Advisory Committee. The committee in turn sent its recommendations to Dean McDonald.The applications specified only private rooms, suites and apartments as legal liquor consumption places.Also, only a limited number of persons will be allowed in the rooms, Keith Guy said. None of theapplications mentioned a private drinking room for large numbers of persons. Fairhaven College putlegalized drinking into effect Oct. 12, Fairhaven administration member Dick Norris said. The vote was435 for private drinking, 14 against at Fairhaven. Other dorms wishing to have liquor allowed should make application to the Housing and Dining Advisory Committee, according to Dean McDonald. He will makerecommendations after the Advisory Committee analyzes the applications.

These meetings areopen and the public is invited to attend. Co-op education reviewed by Academic Council By STEPHANY BRUELL The Cooperative Education Program, a proposal submitted by the Associated Students, metcriticism by the Academic Council, and moved into committee Tuesday afternoon. The plan, presentedby Stan Cuykendall, a Huxley college junior from Bellevue, is an attempt to "combine academic learningwith related work experience, balancing periods of study with periods of actual experience in governmentor industry." According to the proposal, the interested student would meet with a faculty member fromthe department from which he wishes to receive credit and together they would define the goals of hisinternship. The student, faculty member and co-operating employer would meet together to decide uponwork conditions, pay, working hours and job responsibilities before the internship would be finalized. Amaximum of 15 credits could be earned in one quarter through this program. Grading would be at thediscretion of the department although a contract between the student and faculty member is the favoredplan. Under the plan's grading system, to receive a "C" grade, the student would be required to attendwork regularly and perform to his employer's satisfaction. A "B" grade requires a paper in addition to theabove requirements. A student receiving an "A" would turn in a research paper and fulfill the requirements for a "C" and "B." If a student fails to fulfill his commitment to the program, his case will be evaluated by a campus co-ordinator for the program, the faculty sponsor and the employer. If necessary, the studentwill be dropped from the program. Criticism of the plan centered around its similarity to the present work-study and the new University Year for Action programs. Several faculty members of the council did notsee a need " for the plan as the work-study program already allows students to work with a regularsalary. David Ziegler of the political science department noted that students need introductory coursesbefore they can successfully handle a job in their related field but no concessions are made for that in the proposed plan. Paul Roley, of the history department moved that the Arts and Sciences Committee anda student committee examine the proposal to determine its merit, work out procedures of the plan andcompare it with the present work study and U.Y.A. Council chairman, William Bultmann of the historydepartment will present a proposal next week charging the General Education Committee to review thepurposes of General Education. The proposal will be discussed at next Tuesday's meeting. Studentinternships for credit offered with State Legislature Students interested in the workings of the StateLegislature have an opportunity to actively participate in it winter quarter. The political science department sponsors an internship program. John Hebal of the political science department said the program isdesigned to give students an opportunity to work closely with a legislator in committee work, researchand full legislative session. Each intern works with one legislator. There will be approximately 90 interns, from several four-year state colleges. Nine interns will be chosen from Western. Applicants must havejunior or senior status as of winter quarter. Selection will be made on the basis of study in politicalscience and/or actual work in the field, letters of recommendation and an interviewing procedure. "Thepeople selected should be truly competent to assist the legislators," Hebal said. Credit will be availablethrough Political Science 400 or 440. The interns may receive as much as $100 monthly for expenses.Applications are available in the political science department on High Street. The deadline for turningthem in is Tuesday, Oct. 27. Selections will be made by the middle of November, Hebal said. This isWestern's second year of participation in the program. Last winter, eight interns were sent. ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 15 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, October 15, 1971 Western Front 3 Crackdown Monday Campus security tightens parkingregulations By KEN RITCHIE Stricter enforcement of parking regulations will begin early next Monday.No longer will parking stickers be displayed at the whim of the car owner. No longer will cars be able todisplay their parking stickers like battle stripes. And no longer will there be a two-hour grace periodduring early morning hours. According to a news release from Robert Peterson, director of safety andsecurity: â€”all parking permits and area designators . . . shall be displayed affixed to the inside of therear window on the lower left hand corner (driver's side). â€”if the vehicle is a convertible or has no rearwindow, the permit and area designator shall be affixed to the center bottom of the windshield. â€”expired permits and area designators shall be removed before the new permit and designator are attached.â€”the hours of night parking will be 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The reasons given for the new get-tough policy were the difficulty campus marshals have in finding the current permits and the parking hassles around theresidence halls early Monday mornings. During the weekend some of the students living in the residencehalls leave town and then guests and visitors of other residents park in the vacated parking spots. Whenpermit holders return late Sunday or early Monday, they quite often are forced to park illegally and areticketed when the marshals make the rounds. Starting Monday permit holders who return and can't findan open slot are asked to call campus security and explain the situation and thus reduce the chance ofgetting a ticket or having their car impounded. Peterson also released statistics showing that since thenew ticketing procedure went into effect more than 530 tickets have been issued and two cars have beenimpounded. Many people, although there were unhappy about paying the $1 bail, were pleased with thenew system. Thus far 30 tickets have been voided, 24 reduced to warnings and 82 persons paid andtherefore have no record of a violation.

Prof widens horizons leading state ACLU By JACKIE LAWSON "I regard what I do in theAmerican Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as an extension of what I do as a professor. Students shouldrealize teachers have varied interests, other than merely educating classes," Hugh Fleetwood, philosophy professor and president of the Washington State affiliate of ACLU, said. According to Fleetwood, theWashington ACLU affiliate consists of approximately 5,000 members, and is the most active middle-sized affiliate in terms of legal programs. The ACLU's main purpose is to defend the civil liberties ofthose individuals whose basic freedoms are being denied them. Fleetwood developed an interest in theACLU eight years ago. "It seemed to me that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were important asfar as the character of America was concerned. I knew the ACLU attempted to observe and extend thecivil liberties of this country," he said. Fleetwood and several other interested individuals were active informing the Whatcom County ACLU chapter, which is presently headed by Robert Keller, a Fairhavenprofessor, and John Freeburg, a Fairhaven student and Whatcom County ACLU chairman. Fleetwoodwas previously chairman of the Whatcom County chapter, sat on the State Board of Directors, and in1967 was asked by the board's nominating committee to run for a position on the board. He was electedto the position of board president in 1969. The Board of Directors is composed of 30 at-large membersfrom the state, plus representatives from chapters within the state. Formal duties of the board presidentconsist of presiding over the monthly meeting, presiding over the board's executive committee andappointing chairmen of various committees. The Washington affiliate has one of the largest budgets inthe country, according to Fleetwood. Membership dues account for about 50 per cent of HUGHFLEETWOOD the funds and of that money 40 per cent is given to the national group, while 60 per cent is kept by the state affiliate. To supplement money collected from dues, the ACLU runs a variety of fund-raising projects throughout the year, including holding theater parties and folk art sales. In addition, thereare a few donors giving sizeable sums to the ACLU Washington Foundation, a tax-free branch of theorganization. The foundation engages only in litigation, actual courtroom work. Approximately 200members comprise the Whatcom County branch, a "very active chapter in the state," according toFleetwood. The scope of the state organization can be best understood by realizing there are more than100 cases at the present time on the legal docket. These cases are in all stages of activity, from localcourts up to the United States Supreme Court. Cases handled by the ACLU include those dealing withstudent rights, the draft law and laws relating to the use of marijuana. The Washington State affiliate isthe most active affiliate in the nation in affairs of Indian rights, according to Fleetwood. The bulk ofmembership in Whatcom County's chapter is heterogeneous, with students comprising a minoritymembership. "The right to speak freely isn't really a party issue. We draw membership from a widelydiverse class of people. When the time comes that we cease doing that, we will no longer be dealing with civil liberties but with politics," Fleetwood said. ' Specific cases in Washington State handled by theACLU include changing the voter residency requirement. The ACLU won that case by claiming the one-year residency requirement for voting in state elections was excessive. Other cases involved allowingmigrant worker organizers to go onto private lands. "Environmentally, we brought an important actionagainst the United States government by trying to restrain the shipment of poison gas acrossWashington and Oregon," Fleetwood explained. "Our problem is trying to establish priorities. In anyACLU case, the costs are born by the ACLU, similar to the actions by private attorneys," he said.Students can call the local ACLU chapter and state their particular case. If it seems to be a civil libertiesissue, the decision to accept the case will be made by the local legal committee. Referrals to otherorganizations will be given if the case is not accepted. Wash PIRG meets Tuesday in VU lounge ByBOB McLAUCHLAN An organizational meeting of the Washington Public Interest Research Group(WashPIRG) on campus will be held Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the VU lounge. The concept of WashPIRGwas derived from a suggestion last fall by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who claimed that studentsspend an average of S250 on cokes, candy, cigarettes and other snacks. " S t u d e n t s should bedoing something more significant with their money," Nader stated. Beginning Nov. 1, a petition will begoing around several colleges in Washington seeking student support of WashPIRG, according to LarryDiamond, Western's WashPIRG organizer. The petition drive will be one of the biggest events of theyear, Diamond said. The purpose of the petition drive is to demonstrate support from a majority ofstudents for the WashPIRG proposal. Every signing student will agree to $1 collected with their quarterlytuition to enable WashPIRG to hire professionals and to coordinate campuses to work on projects in the public interest, state organizers point out. The organization itself will be totally student-controlled, non-profit and non-partisan.

A few simple, but astonishing facts, clarify the problem existing atWestern. â€”Much of Western's sewage is dumped raw into Bellingham Bay. â€”Nearly 70 tons ofgarbage, most of it recyclable is dumped by a sanitation service contracting with the college. â€”A major portion of Western's grounds crew time is spent picking up litter left on campus by students.

With theratification over the summer of the 26th Amendment to the Constitution, 18- through 20-year-olds nowhave that, voice. They can vote. Students on this campus for years have sought a better, more effective,more representative college government. Now, with the planned implementation of an all-college senatesystem of governance, we hope we shall have that representation. We can vote here, too. Theopportunity to choose our leaders is no exiguous right. It must be accepted with great responsibility. Wemust exercise this right of cooptation carefully and with cautious scrutiny of each candidate. Completing a ballot merely marks the end of what should be a long and tedius Western community shouldn't take astand on environmental issues that aren't close to the college or Bellingham because we're all tiedtogether when it comes to the environment. But it is time that everyone at Western stopped playingdumb about this college's effect on the environment. The college is doing just as much to destroy theenvironment as the corporate villains around the country and is apparently doing even less to correct it.So anyone who wants to get a drive going for a cleaner environment might start right here at Western. Itneeds it. â€”Ron Graham examination of the prospective leaders. No person should have the right tomark a ballot if half of the names that appear on that ballot are unfamiliar to him. Now, before Nov. 2, isthe time for examination. We invite each fellow constituent to join with us in learning as much as we canlearn about each candidate. Follow these pages, attend the forums to be held on campus by thecandidates, keep a close watch on the presidential hopefuls and others seeking public office.

The job of MC of course should go tocollege President Charles Jerry Flora and his side kick could be played by Provost Frederick Sargent.The contest opens in the gym with Jerry running out, shouting, "Are you ready to make the Big Deal,kids? Okay then, we all know the rules: everyone has kicked in their degrees as a kitty for a chance atthe Big Deal. And tonight it is a guaranteed job at Bow-Edison High School. "Of course if you shouldlose, you stand a chance of getting a four-year enlistment in Marine Corps with two years of it as pointman in Vietnam or having to take Biology 101 all over again. "Now as you can see, Fred is wheeling in abig box and I need three graduates to start the game. You, sir, dressed as a transmission from a '57Chevy, and this young lady who came as a waffle, and this gentleman over there in the suit and tie whocame ready to take home the Big Deal.

What will it be, Irv?" Transmission Irv jumps up and down, casting backward glances at hiswife and six kids in the audience. The little woman points at Jerry's hip pocket, hoping it holds anuncashed paycheck and untold riches. "The pocket!" shouts Irv. "I'll take the pocket!" "Ohhh, Irv," groansJerry. He turns to the audience and groans "Ohhh" again to show Irv made the wrong choice. "Open thecurtain, Fred, and show Irv what he could have won." As the curtain swings open, Fred's voice comes over the loudspeaker. 'Tough luck, Irv, but behind the curtain was a lifetime subscription to Reader's Digest,$20 worth of food stamps plus your own dealership for Grit newspaper. The total worth of this deal was$52.40. "Well, Irv, don't feel bad. You still have whatever is in my hip pocket." With slow deliberatemovement Jerry reaches into his pocket and pulls out a hankie. "As you can see, Irv, there is nothing here except lint and you win a year's supply. Better luck in four years, Irv." Irv stumbles off into the audience, meshing his gears. "Now for the little waffle lady," Jerry.says. "What's your name?" "Betty Jo Bioloskiand I ain't as greedy as Irv," the waffle lady says. "That's good, Betty Jo, cause you only get two choices: the box or the curtain. Which one will it be, little lady?" Betty eyes the box, then the curtain.Remembering how Irv got shafted on the last deal, she takes the curtain. "That's a very good choice,Betty," Fred's voice says over the speakers. The curtain slowly slides open showing a large poster thatsays "Welcome to Fun City, USA, Blaine, Wash." Betty passes out. "For you and a guest, Betty Jo,"Fred is saying, "you get a free night on the town in good old Fun City, USA, Blaine. There are two tickets good for as much beer as you can drink at a sitting, plus a lead slug to play the pinball machines,bringing your deal to a grand total of $1.50.

"Now you only get one choice, the box, and I can tell you right now it is the wrong choice. So what's it going to be, Marv?" 'This is insane, Jerry," Marv cries. "Imean really "Oh, you don't want to play, huh? You want to go back and just sit down for four moreyears?" Jerry starts to turn his back. "Okay, okay, I'll take the box," Marv says, tears running down hischeeks. "Well, that's too bad, square shooter, cause the Big Deal wasn't even in this gym," Jerry tellsthe sobbing student. "In keeping with President Nixon's fight against inflation by keeping unemploymenthigh, we hid the Big Deal in my office.

George Golden, chairman of the new committee, said it was still too early to expect anything drastic. "We've just got into this thing," said Golden, a junior in personnel management from Vancouver, Wash. Some changes have beentalked about, however. Golden cited sentiment for enlarging the facilities of the Student Co-op. "There'sbeen talk of a larger book section, not class books but paperbacks," Golden said. Golden sees his dutyas representing the viewpoint of the student. "This is a store for the students, to meet their needs," hesaid. Ray Romine, associate dean of students, represents the administration on the ad hoc committee.As might be expected, he feels that the bookstore should enter a closer liaison with the administration.Romine's greatest concern is that, until now, the bookstore hasn't been as accountable for its actions asit should be. "That the bookstore should be more accessible is paramount," Romine said. "In the past,the manager hasn't had to report to the administration. As a student service the bookstore should bebrought under the administrative scheme," he said. Rising prices also concern Romine. "I'm not so farremoved from being a student that I can't remember what it was like. We must attempt to keep costs atrock-bottom," Romine said. Peter Elich of the psychology department was extremely cautious about hisappointment to the committee. "I've been away for two years and don't know what's been going on," hesaid. GEORGE GOLDEN RAY ROMINE JAMES HILDEBRAND Elich believes that the store'sresponsibility is toward the students and faculty. As such, it isn't a normal commercial operation. "Theoperations of the bookstore should be determined by the needs of the people it serves," Elich said.Another member of the committee, James Hildebrande of the mathematics department stressed thetemporary nature of the committee. "We're just an interim committee set up to work on bookstoreproblems, which are plenty," he said. Other members of the committee are Claudie Bennett, a juniormathematics major from Seattle, and Robert Camper, a senior speech major from Bremerton.

You imply that since we are on an open bay, we do not have to worry aboutphosphate watter pollution, so therefore it is all right to return to a high-phosphate detergent. You aregoing to destroy all the work that ecologists in this area have done about this problem. You say theproblem is a part of the "whiter than white" phobia, and yet you urge the use of detergents which are thebasis of the "whiter than white" philosophy. You make absolutely no mention of soaps such as Instant, Fels or Ivory or of low-phosphate detergents such as Liquid-All. The alternative to using high-phosphatedetergents is not one of using "non-polluting" detergents, but one of using other cleaning agents such as soap. Pat Spark Employe of the Bookstore Lecture notes Editor, Western Front Re: Page 6, Friday,Oct. 8, 1971 Lecture notes offered on subscription basis potentially help incompetents to ride on theback of the competent. This type of service, rather than an aid, is a crutch for limbs that need exercise.If it is possible for students to buy lectures (and pass the course) for General Studies 105, 200,. 321 and History '105 as reported Oct. 8 or any other course in tht curriculum, then why not record those lectures legitimately on TV tape, publish them and charge admission. Then students would get the informationfirsthand rather than through a translator. Then the teacher could be free to develop another recordablecourse. When course material reaches the status of "nothing-new-here" then that material ought to berecorded to release the human being that collected the information and assembled it for more creativeendeavors. The quality of a human teacher is his or her ability to add a personal observation that attimes becomes more meaningful to the student than mere data. Mechanical repetition does not use thebest qualities of that human teacher. Students should have the benefit of a fresh approach when theperformance is live. Humanities Helpers is an organization of lecture-pushers, plain and simple. Ringold's reported statement that "the notes are intended 'to supplement the lectures, not replace them' " isanalogous to the dope pusher who says "I sold him the stuff, I didn't tell him to use it." Who is kiddingwho? Is this a community for learning or is it a community for getting a certain number of credits on apiece of paper or in a filing cabinet somewhere?

But when alcohol did make theNavigator, phrases like "immediate and severe disciplinary action" and "policy . . . is simple and clearcut" painted a strict policy on alcohol. As short as three years ago "possession and/or use of alcoholicbeverages (was) prohibited by college regulations for all students at all times while on college-owned orcontrolled property, in all student living quarters and for all organizations affiliated with .the college,functioning officially on or off campus." Dean of Students C. W. "Bill" McDonald recalled "a time whenhaving alcohol anywhere on campus was a moral sin." Now, policy approved last summer by the Boardof Trustees, allows students to drink in the dorms. Keith Guy, director of residence hall programs, saidstudents should keep in mind that they may drink.only in their rooms, suites, or apartments becausestate law prohibits "opening or consumii of liquor in any public place." The rooms a considered to beprivate places, he said. One misconception students shouldn't re into the new policy is that all residentsmay no drink. Students who are underage will have abide by the state laws regarding minors am alcohol, Guy said. Each residence hall has the option to vo whether it will exercise the freedom to drink order tohave drinking allowed in a dorm, each ha must apply to Dean McDonald for permission t vote. Theapplication must justify the vote by meai of a petition listing the names of resident studen who wish todrink in their rooms.

I I â€¢ i m GOING GOING GONE Cheerleadersgo by wayside money, enthusiasm decrease By SUE GAWRYS Does anyone know or care if Westernstill has cheerleaders? There are no longer cheerleaders here and few people seem concerned abouttheir fate. Patty McClintick, a former cheerleader, said that the pep staff disbanded due to the failure ofthe budget, which the AS Legislature turned down last spring. "You can't do too much without money. It really hurts," she said. Miss McClintick felt that the budget was turned down because most studentsfelt that cheerleaders are obsolete. This opinion was supported by several students who were askedabout the cheerleaders. "Are they still around?" Most were unsure, but went on to describe howunnecessary cheerleaders are to the school. The ex-leader didn't let this attitude bother her. "It's not forthe student body anymore, it's for the guys on the team. They like it. Having someone there tosupport.them," Miss McClintick said. But there may still be hope for persons interested in being orwatching cheerleaders. The Vikettes, a dance group, will be performing during the basketball season,according to a Black Student Union spokesman. A junior physical education major from Kirkland, MissMcClintick said that she would attempt to form a group of cheerleaders for the basketball season.Basketball coach Chuck Randall would like to have them on the sidelines and if everything works out, the tradition of the pompon girls may carry on at Western. Zap New rules chi By SUE GRAHAMRemember the good old days in the residence halls? Not last year or the year before, but 20 to 30 yearsago? Residence halls have gone through many changes since the students of yesteryear. The recentpolicy allowing alcohol in the dorms is one of the major changes. Students' rights, discipline,coeducational dorms, and the dress code are some other areas that have been markedly revamped.Today's student has much more freedon and respect. Picking your own bedtime, saying who does andwho doesn't see information the school holds on you and deciding where your grades are sent are allexamples of rights once denied to students. "We used to give government officials any information theyasked for. Now we say nothing unless the student signs a release," Bill McDonald, dean of students,said. Grades used to be sent home regardless of students' wishes unless the student was 21 or older.Today students decide where the grades will go, McDonald said. Bedtime or closing hours, referred to as the "double standard" in 1956-57 and 1957-58 Navigators, were outlined for women only. Mondaythrough Thursday, the closing hour was 10:30 p.m.; Friday, 1 a.m.; Saturday 2 a.m.; and Sunday 11p.m. Freshman hours, for first-quarter women only, were 9 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and 9:30p.m., Thursday. All women were expected to be ready for bed fifteen minutes after the closing hour.Compare these hours with 1971-72 visitation hours of 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 8a.m. to 4 a.m. Friday through Saturday. For tardy women there was a game called "grace" whichconsisted of 15 late minutes per quarter. "Campuses" were given depending on how many minutesbeyond the 15 minutes grace a woman was late. A "campus" meant spending from 7 Friday evening to 6 Saturday morning in the dorm room. The woman could receive no phone calls and no visitors during the"campus." Judging from the extreme number of restrictions and safequards placed on them, womenmust have been a very valuable and irresponsible commodity.

Afterspending $ 100 million over the past 10 years the Pentagon will soon add laser-ray guns to its arsenal of weapons. Presently, government engineers, working under secrecy comparable to that surrounding theWorld War II Manhattan Project (atomic bomb), are creating warfare in which supersonic planes andmissiles will color the sky with deadly beams of high-energy light. To the weapons engineer, the laser is appealing because it can rapidly and accurately focus vast amounts of energy, heating targets to thepoint where they melt, burn, or explode. Recognizing this, the Defense Department's AdvancedResearch Project Agency (ARPA) launched its initial laser lethal weapons program in 1961, fjanly twoyears after the first operating laser was demonstrated. In February of that year, the Pentagon conducteda special briefing for over 70 aerospace companies anxious to divide up the initial funding of $2.5 million.At that time, the military foresaw using the laser primarily for ballistic missile defense, but -in 1962, theArmy's Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia issued requests to industry for a hand-held anti-personnel laser gun as well. During the mid-sixties, the development of laser weaponry was impeded by high costs,limited efficiency and a technological problem â€” scientists were not able to create lasers with highenough power to be used as weapons. But a classified breakthrough rekindled the Pentagon's interest.In 1968, United Aircraft developed the first efficient high-power laser, and ARPA set up a top secretproject, code named "Eighth Card" to oversee further development. Under a subsidiary research project,"Black Eye," engineers studied the feasibility of equipping satellites with laser guns to disable sensorsaboard "hostile" satellites. Sir^ce that time, development of laser weaponry has continued at high funding levels â€” $30 million a year â€” and the research is paying off. Already the Army has used a laser topenetrate armor plating at a range of several hundred yards. At the center for laser weapons research,the Air Force's Special Weapons Albuquerque, N.M., gun was used to unmanned aircraft. Theapplication of lasers exemplifies the â€¢ domination of science and technology by the military. According to a survey reported in "Electronic News," about $70 million will be spent for military laser devices. Yetonly $9 million will be sent for laser development for medicine and $20 m i l l i o n for n o n - m i l i t a ry communication. Laboratory near a prototype laser shoot down an The Pentagon is not spending itslaser money just to prepare for a hypothetical future war. For the past few years, laser devices have beenused in Vietnam for searching out and spying on enemy troops. Laser-guided bombs, used daily inIndochina, are credited with a tenfold increase in the accuracy of weapons delivery. In the near future,laser-ray guns appear to be feasible for defense against low-flying targets at forward air bases, for on-board ship defense against guided missiles and for disabling the enemy's spying devices. The Air Forceis considering equipping its forthcoming F-15 fighter and B-l bomber with laser weapons capable ofdestroying aircraft and missiles. Recently, ARPA requested $5.8 million to study the feasibility ofsupplementing the costly Safeguard ABM system with laser weaponry. The Pentagon hopes to expandthe use of lasers to destroy incoming ICBM's. The government's attitude toward lasers may best beexpressed by a management consultant who recently stated that the laser "will be the mostrevolutionary tool for mankind since the atom bomb."- â€¢ gt; faawat^awsi rs- smmmm ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 15 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, October 15, 1971 Western Front 7 Campus briefs E 9 je dorm complexion /ernight in town perquarter, recommended ;ainst leaving town more than twice a month and ibject to suspension for stayingaway from the Drm without permission.

Women students were not allowed to visit any en residence halls unless theHousemother was â€¢esent during the visit. No woman student was to sit a man's home unless hismother wrote or lephoned an invitation. Dean McDonald said, "One of the greatest areas f change wasdiscipline." Used to be when a student was caught Dwntown shoplifting, the merchant called the :hooland we took care of the problem. Now it's D days in jail. The school keeps out of the whole "fair unlessthe student asks for assistance, cDonald said. Each residence hall sets up their own rules andigulations and punishments for breaking them. "Most of the rules within the residence halls Dme from the kids," McDonald said. Students were largely responsible for such rules no typing after 10 p.m. and noshowers after 11 m. It's hard to believe students would make rules ;ainst calling out the windows, puttingmilk irtons and food on window sills and making osters in the rooms. But these were all on the on't list at one time. Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, id, "Students have more responsibility for the lies now." The dress code has undergone changes from ry specified clothing for different functions, ays, and hours to the generalized casual, jpropriate clothing for all occasions today. There was a time whenwomen were not [lowed to wear slacks of any kind until 4 p.m., hen Sunday lunch meant semi-formaldress for len and women, when nobody wore T-shirts., gged edged cut-offs, sweatshirts or bermudalorts. The 1965 November issue of the Western Front ran an article on coeds and slacks and quotedschool personnel reaction to the possibility of women in slacks all day. Bill McDonald, then dean of men, said, "I like women to be feminine in their actions and in their dress; the wearing of slacks tends todetract from this." "Girls appear so attractive in cute sweaters and dresses I think it would be a shamethat they wouldn't wear them, especially when they have the opportunity to wear casual clothes after 4p.m. on the campus," Lorraine Powers, dean of women for 1965, said. And then there was a big hasslefive or six years ago, McDonald said, "over what is a sweatshirt and what isn't a sweatshirt." In thedining halls now, the only types of dress not seen are men without shirts, men or women dressed inbathing suits or without shoes and women in curlers. This dress and non-dress may be observed outsidethe dining halls. Mary Robinson said about the dress code, "I think it is more helpful for those from lower income families." "We have adjusted to the changes and life styles of kids," said Bill McDonald, "and Ithink the dorms are now better places to live because they are more realistic." As further help to womenstudents, the Associated Women Student's Handbook offered more lyric advice: Garden Hints Firstplant five rows of P's: P-resense, P-reparedness, P-romptness, P-erseverance, and P-erceptiveness.Next to this plant three rows of squash: Squash gossip, Squash criticism, and Squash indifference.Then plant five rows of lettuce: Let us be faithful to duty, Let us be unselfish and loyal, Let us be true toour obligations, Let us obey rules and regulations, and Let us love one another.

By PHIL LAM AY After a year and a half of intensive study, including three months on Chuckanut Mountain and in the Nooksack Valley, Sasquatch theorist Terry Mitchell pieced together thereality and the myth Tuesday night in the VU lounge. Armed with snapshots of footprints in Californiaand various evidence of Sasquatch activity, Mitchell presented the crowd of 30 with his conclusions onthe life style of the proverbial Sasquatch. Mitchell stated that a male Sasquatch weighs approximately400 pounds with a height of IVz to 8 feet. Its stride, he said, measures 6 to 8 feet walking andapproximately 20 feet at its running speedof 30 to .40 miles an hour Sasquatches mark residentialboundaries with logs placed in a triangular fashion, Mitchell asserted, and mark sacred burial groundswith crossed logs. One picture taken of a Sasquatch, he stated, was the result of the creature trying tolead the photographer away from a sacred area. In addition to other attributes, a Sasquatch uses waterextensively for travel, Mitchel claimed, and can stay underwater for up to 25 minutes. He believes their life span of around 300 years is due to the "extremely nutritious" foods they consume. Sasquatches arevegetarians, except in extreme cases, Mitchell explained, and are "technically" far ahead of us inunderwater gardening. ^^^2^mw^^^^^|^gg^^^^^^^mÂ«^gQQgi^gSgK^gÂ£S||Qg SSS^gSS| Even withnumerous reported sitings am shootings from British Columbia to Siberi.: Mitchell said, there are no realauthorities c Sasquatches.

Cuykendall, a junior ecological systems analysis majorfrom Huxley College, outlined three major proposals concerning changes in academics this year. Thefirst is an attempt to draw up a proposal to get women's studies integrated into the curriculum. Tentativeplans include a possible major in women's studies. The second is an overall revision of the generalstudies department, including placing students in the role of lobbyists in order to initiate change. Thethird involves a proposal for a work-study program, where students would be able to work in thecommunity for academic credit. Named Cooperative Education program, students would be allowed to do community work under any department. Another long-range plan includes establishing a court ofacademic appeals, where students would have the opportunity to voice complaints and criticisms aboutanything occurring in academic departments. Cuykendall would like any student who is interested inthese plans to contact him at VU 009. League of Collegiate Vets to hold first meeting Western's League of Collegiate Veterans, which is beginning its second year of operation on campus, will hold its firstmeeting of the year at 7:30 p.m. Monday in VU 224 to discuss programs and activities. The league hada membership of 248 last year and expects t c grow even more this year, according to league presidentMorris Swadener, Jr. "Last year, out of an enrollment of over 9,000 students, approximately 1,100 wereveterans," he explained. "This year we are expecting some 1,500 veterans at Western." In its first year of operation the league established a number of programs to benefit the collegiate veteran, according toSwadener. Among the programs offered to the entire college community are: job referral, text booklending, veterans' benefit information, a counseling, housing and mobile home information plus anewsletter to league members. "We hope that this year we will be able to expand and improve ourprograms," he said. Furthermore, we plan to develop programs in such areas as scholarship, tutoring,intramural sports and student activities." To successfully operate these programs, Swadener explained,the league needs the help of veterans. In addition, according to Swadener, the league plans to go toOlympia this year and lobby for a State Veterans' Bonus. They would also like to see the statelegislature exempt all veterans from the recent college tuition hikes. "The way the tuition is set up now is discriminating against the non-Vietnam veteran," he said. In addition to Swadener, other league officersare: Steve Martell, secretary; Robert Shipek, treasurer; and Robert McCleary, service officer. The leagueoffice is located in VU 213. C.K.JOLLY. President 601 Tower Building, Seattle, Wa. Veterans urged tocheck benefits with VA office Any potential veterans' administration recipient who has received hisCertificate of Eligibility (VA FORM 21E 1993) but has not been processed through the registrar's officeshould check with Lorraine McGaw, Old Main 108, immediately. Currently there are more than 200students in limbo. These students notified the VA that they would be returning to Western for thisquarter but have not completed the remaining paperwork which then must be resubmitted to VA's regional office in Seattle, thence to the federal computer in Kansas City. Some VA checks have arrivedPayments from VA for the last four days of September have already been received by some Westernstudents. VA recipients who pre-registered spring should have gotten their money, according to Mrs.McGaw. Transfer students and new enrollees could get their September checks anytime this month orthe money might be added into this month's payment which will be mailed during the first 10 days ofNovember. VA regional rep due in November Clark Slocum, regional representative from VA, is expectedto be at Western around the 10th of November. He will be available for discussion of any problemstroubling any of the more than 1,100 students at Western receiving VA assistance. The Veterans'Administration will allow Slocum one half day at Western. Requests for appointments can be madethrough Mrs. McGaw's office. Gays' Alliance forms; develops a social identity A Gay Peoples' Alliancehas been formed at Western to make life easier for the homosexual student. The statement of purposepresented to the AS Activities Commission last Tuesday aims toward homosexual liberation. TheAlliance believes the gay person must be free of the rejection and hostility of straight society. Thehomosexual feels apart and alienated. Not only is he outside of most social activities, he is not free toassociate with other gay people. The restricted and furtive meetings forced upon him by anunsympathetic society causes him unwarranted anguish according to T.T. an organizer of the GPA. GPA hopes to sponsor a variety of social activities to broaden the range and improve the quality of gay socialcontacts. . . He expiained, "One of the.basic fears is the fear mmunrmmmimm^mm^ gt;mmfijja^9mtiwm%mim^^mm ^r^^^^^^^jggj^g^^gg^gg of being alone. The emotional trauma ofthis loneliness often results in anxiety and depression. "Our group here has been formed to combat thisfeeling and to enable a gay person to establish a group identity which is important, I feel, in the formationof a personal identity." The organization also plans to get any legal, psychological and other help as thehomosexual may require due to his sexual orientation. The Alliance will have an office in the Viking Union some time next week. Now it is sharing VU 223, the sex information office, phone 676-3460.

There are about 50 handicapped students at Western, Maddockssaid. Students speak in community Western's speech department is offering the college andBellingham community a new and interesting service: the Student Speakers Bureau. Under theadvisement of Alden Smith of the speech department, the bureau will give students an opportunity tospeak to interested groups, on a variety of subjects ranging from ecology and education to witchcraft andW.C. Fields. The idea for a speakers bureau originated in Smith's advanced public speaking class lastyear. Students organized a "mini-bureau" that operated for a month. The response was so encouragingthat Smith expanded the program to 11 speakers and more diverse topics. The programs available thisyear are: Community Ecology: Ecology Begins at Home!, They Say the Fault Line Runs Right ThroughHere, Understanding the Speech Handicapped, What Does Education Mean, Drugs, The Juvenile WhoCame in From the Cold, We're Not All Freaks!, The Golden Age of Radio. Others include Aloha no ka ko, hele mai o Maui (Come away with me to the Island of Maui), The Steam Car: Outmoded or Victimized?,A Bewitching Evening, William Clause Dukenfield, and Brecht on Brecht. Besides the speakingpresentations, members of the forensics team are available for demonstrations of traditional and informaldebating, expository, extemporaneous and after-dinner speaking, orations and interpretive readings.Interested groups should fill out a "program request card" (available through the speech department withtwo choices three weeks prior to the desired speaking date. The bureau requests that students bereimbursed for transportation, meals and rental fees for equipment. Part-time work scarce for studentsBy STEVE GARVEY It may be the Protestant Ethic, or it could be a love of money or no love of starving. For whatever reason, many students feel compelled, or want, to work part time. No one can guess howmany students want work, but at least 2,000 students have found it. For every student who manages tocorner a job, there is probably at least one other Western student who can't find one, and there is no way of estimating the competition from the local high schools. If this isn't enough to discourage the hardiest job seekers, the state of the local economy, to say nothing of the college's, makes job-hunting a sorrytask. Most students who work on campus, about 1,500 this year, found their jobs in one of two ways:they either applied at Saga or they contacted one of the college academic departments. Very few findjobs through the Financial Aids Office, according to Jim Grant, a financial aids officer. "An insignificanthandful," he called it. The Financial Aids Office has found jobs on the federally-financed Work-Studyprogram for 173 students, but the much discussed federal money to create jobs does not include anyfunds for part-time work. The problem at Western, said Grant, is the state cutbacks in higher education. Grant said the students who get the jobs are the upperclassmen who know the chairman and otherprofessors in a department. Since part-time work financed by the academic departments is not given onthe basis of need, jobs go to the most active job seekers. Luck and skills have a lot to do with astudent's chances of success as well. "Most of the jobs open up as the year begins," Grant said."Department heads wait and see if the person who had the job last year will show up. Jobs are foundnow; few jobs are guaranteed to entering students before they arrive on campus." "Now would be thetime to look for jobs," he continued, "but I'm not convinced that this is the time to look this year; thereare just not any jobs around." "The departments and the college need to take a new look and see if it will be a priority form of student assistanceâ€”it's not now," he added. He did note that the work is dividedsomewhat equally between the sexes: girls get clerical positions, boys get custodial work. The PhysicsDepartment is one that hires it's own student employees. This year they have hired 35 for fall quarter:three-fourths of them are lab assistants, others work in shops or stockrooms. The department does notrequire its employees to be physics majors, but lab assistants are usually students with some physicsbackground. The shop workers are usually experienced. The department advertises in the building to fillpositions and does not indiscriminately accept applications. "Generally we try to predetermine if astudent is at all qualified before accepting an application," said Bill Martinez, supervisor of PhysicsTechnical Services. He has taken only five more applications than he has had jobs for. Martinezrecommended that to get a job with the department, students should contact his office before schoolstarts or as early in the year as possible. Like most other campus jobs, the ones in the physicsdepartment pay minimum wage. Saga Food Services is the largest single employer on campus andhires approximately 300 students. Each spring Saga takes applications from all of its workers who willbe returning in the fall and repeats the procedure for the summer employees. Eighty per cent of ourneeds are taken care of by the beginning of the year," said Vince Gallagher, director of Saga. "Thestudents must have a schedule to enable him to work. We repeat the application process each quarter." Saga has a "pretty good backlog of applications," Gallagher said. While finding on-campus employment is hard, off-campus employment has the added competition from high school students and jobs arescattered all over the area. Western's Student Employment Service (S.E.S.) is an Associated Student-run placement and referral center for off-campus work. The SES was initially set up with the cooperationof the State Employment Service. All listings that the State Service feels could be filled by collegestudents are forwarded to the college. Brenda Sunde is the employment supervisor. The .service, whichis open . and free for all students and their spouses, has filled 24 part-time jobs so far this year andseven temporary johs. Most of the openings are for waitresses, gas station attendants, sales work, part-time clerical help and even pine cone pickers. Most of the listings promise minimum wage. "I'mexpecting it to pick up," said Sunde. "In a year's time we should be able to place between 400 and 500people. When a student goes to the SES office, he is asked to fill out a card listing his qualifications,the type of job he seeks and the hours he can work. The office will make referrals, but the studentshould still check in every week to keep his application under consideration. In the meantime, theapplication is coded and when listings arrive, applications are matched with the jobs. Last year 7 0 jobswere filled in a six month period. This year, the staff has mailed 3,000 letters to local businessesexplaining the service and asking them to contact the office whenever they have any job openings.According to Sunde, 75 per cent of the employers are flexible about the hours students can work, andmany simply specify the general time of day they need an employee. Another on-campus groupsoliciting jobs, but only for its members, is the League of Collegiate Veterans. Citing the bleak localemployment outlook in general and the high unemployment for veterans in particular, the league iscontacting businessmen about jobs for all area veterans. "In Whatcom County alone, there aretremendous numbers of unemployed veterans; something like 13 per cent. It may be worse than Seattle," said Robert Shipek, treasurer of the group. "We're getting small dribbles, but for some reason, inBellingham, they don't have any regard for veterans' employment. Really, I don't know why in a relativelyconservative community like Bellingham, there wouldn't be a regard for veterans. When it comes toactually providing a vet with a job when he returns, they only give him lip service," he said. The localveterans are not doing anything about the employment picture; they are looking for funds from the Officeof Economic Opportunity to set up an industry for veterans. So far everything looks promising Â«e*cep,t*the money. The type of industry involved is ' smommmsamsmsBsssamasSi still undecided, but onepossibility they have considered is a plant that makes bricks from paper waste. There is a source offriction between the Veteran's League and the SES since the SES refuses to give veterans priority onreferrals. According to State and Federal law, the state employment agency is required to do this, andthe League wants the SES to adopt the policy. Many students seeking off-campus employment turn toone of the local e m p l o y m e n t agencies, Allied Employment. "It's very difficult to place a student inBellingham because many of them are following the fad of long hair, and employers frown on that," saidRuth Karuza, manager of the agency. "The average employer isn't too interested in the college student,"she said. "It's difficult for us to place one even if he has a great record." Mrs. Karuza stressed theimportance of having a good work record: "Many students have been so busy with school that they havenot been able to acquire any work experience. Even with experience, it depends on how well they cansell themselves and how busy the employer is." Good grades are usually an asset and most employerspay close attention to them, she said. The best places to look for work, in her opinion, are grocerystores, for both men and women; gas stations and restaurants (bus boys) for boys; and restaurants andcocktail bars for girls. "Part-time secretary work for girls is hard to get because the offices are open onlycertain hours. Some lawyers will use part time typists, however," Mrs. Karuza said. "Never give up. If astudent finds a possible opening, if he is continually back there, the employer will think he's the one that really wants the job." The manager of the local Chamber of Commerce, Bob Stephens, says that thelocal employers recognize the good of using college students, but that the competition between collegeand high school students is keen. "A businessman is in business by the grace of the customer; he willhire an employee that will please the customer," Stephens said. This obviously limits a freak's chancesof employment. "It's not as bad â€¢ t ,â€¢ Â«he*e, as i t *is* easUof. .the ^mountains " Stephensinterjected.

Each law enforcement agency in Whatcom County will loan electric "vibro-engravers" to persons who want tobeat the Christmas theft rush. Initiated by the Whatcom Association of Independent Insurance Agents,the project has been tagged "Operation Identification." Project Chairman Duane Sammons saidWestern's security department does not have any machines although the campus does suffer fromburglary problems. The engraving campaign may be the solution, whole or partial, to campus thefts, hesaid. Sammons said that 30 engravers were purchased by the insurance association and another casehas been ordered to keep in step with the demand. Five machines are available for three-day loans fromthe Bellingham police and another five at the sheriff's department. The borrower is urged to engrave eitherhis driver's license number, name or any other traceable information on the property. For students livingout in county municipalities, each town police department has an engraver for loan. After the personmarks the information on the valuable, he then puts an "Operation Identification" sticker in an obviousplace as a warning to prospective burglars. Sammons said that the project's success on campusdepends on how badly students want to protect themselves from possible losses. UGN spokesmanseeks larger Western donation teds lakewaymotors Volkswagen specialist new partsâ€”usedâ€”rebuiltDay or Night Service calls 733-9501 By MICKEY HULL Now that the Whatcom County Crisis Clinic hasjoined United Good Neighbors, UGN's Educational Chairman, Ken Brooks, has his fingers crossed thatthe Western student donation will be much larger than last year's. Brooks said he doesn't want to statean exact goal for donations; however, he pointed out that the $42 given last year was ridiculously low fora student body of over 9,000. "Giving to UGN is a fantastic opportunity to show that Western studentsare interested in helping the Bellingham community," he said. Brooks, a Huxley College senior, said hewill "gear" the campaign strictly to the campus. He needs volunteers to help when the drive begins inapproximately two weeks. Hoping to run the campus campaign on a one-to-one basis as much aspossible, Brooks said he is seeking approval of a door-to-door approach in the dormitories along with adance on campus with proceeds going to UGN. According to Arthur Leonard, executive director of thelocal chapter, the overall goal for this year is $271,180 and so far they have $77,839.69 (28.7 per cent ofthe goal). Leonard also showed disappointment over the $42 Western gave last year but added that "itdepends upon the chairman." Leonard pointed out that students aren't anticipated to give on a "fair share" system like many others in the community and that the bulk of the educational division is aimed at justthat, education. "We want the student to learn more about the community and its needs," Leonard saidas he tied his thoughts in with Brooks. "Goals are set but citizenship and education is a must overmoney," Leonard added. Brooks said that his campaign kick-off is unplanned as yet but asks students to consider passing up that extra pack of cigarettes or that last beer and instead drop the money in thekitty when the time comes. As the UGN information guide said ". . . this year's pledge might even help in meeting and solving an unexpected crisis affecting you and yours." WHAT IS IT? Sounds like a crossbetween a washboard and an iceberg. Not so crazyâ€”a washboard washing the dirty linenof government and corporate foul play. And an iceberg-breaking the polluted water with the tip of student-citizenpower.

TheViks will take a 3-1 record into the game with them, their only loss coming on their previous visit toTacoma, a 15-7 defeat at the hands of Pacific Lutheran. UPS is 2-2 on the year and ranked fourthamong Northwest Pigskin Scarred soofhsayer sees Blue loss; Purple win Premonitions By BOBTAYLOR FOR SALE OR TRADE: One slightly cracked crystal ball. Was used for predicting footballgames. Can still be salvaged as a gold-fish bowl. Will trade for a reliable gypsy fortune teller. Surprisingas it may seem, this column still appears on the sports page. With a slight case of embarrassment fromlast week's predictions, we can only say that things are bound to improve. Actually last week wasn't atotal loss, we did hit on four of four Evergreen Converence (Evco) games. We were also perfect in thePacific Eight contests, going 0-4. After one week, this column is hitting a not-so-resounding 50 per cent.Like we said, things are bound to improve. In this weekend's key games, Pigskin Premonitions sayWashington will edge Oregon while Western will fall to the University,of Puget Sound (UPS). In a bit ofthe bizarre, Simon Fraser will win and lose. In Evco action the final results should find: UPS over Western Sentiment rides with the Vikings, but logic (whatever that is) says the Loggers will prevail. If previouscontests mean anything, UPS should win easily. The only common opponent the two teams have facedthis season has been Pacific Lutheran University (PLU). UPS dumped the Lutes, 34-14 while Western fellto PLU, 15-7. Central over Eastern Oregon The Wildcats are overdue after four straight defeats. Easternwill be no patsy and an upset is within the realm of possibility. Boise State over Eastern WashingtonLast year Boise State barely subdued the Savages, 12-0. Eastern is stronger this fall, but so is the Idahoteam. Boise State, a strong contender in its Big Sky Conference, should win big. Simon Fraser overSouthern Oregon The Clansmen have too much talent for outmatched Southern. Oregon College overSimon Fraser If you think you're seeing double (Simon Fraser printed twice), you can save a trip to theoptometrist. It's no typographical error either, just an error by Simon Fraser's scheduler. Somehow Simon Fraser had two games scheduled on Saturday, so through some last minute switching, the Clansmen will play Oregon College on Monday night. The Clansmen will find just how much talent they really have. We feel fatigue and a riled up pack of Wolves will defeat the Canadian school. Pacific U. over Oregon TechIt's going to be a long, long season for the Owls. Pacific, which has played several tough encounters withthe top Northwest Conference teams, should win handily. Things in the Pacific Eight should improve thisweek, so as we go out on the limb once more, look for these net results: Washington over Oregon Itmight be another case of sentiment over-ruling logic, but we'll go with the Huskies just once more. Lookfor a repeat of last year's 25-23 thriller won by Washington. Arizona State over Oregon State ArizonaState, which has an unbeaten streak running through the last two seasons, will keep it intact. Californiaover Washington State Any poor team that loses one in a row can lose two in a row. The Cougars atleast won't have to worry about this game counting in their conference won-loss record. Stanford overSouthern California After last week's big win over Washington, is there anybody who can defeat theIndians? Even though Southern Cal will give it the "ole college try," we like Stanford's chances. U.C.L.A.over Arizona We might be under-rating the Wildcats, but the Bruins looked impressive last weekend andshould win their second in a row. Girl grid teams wanted Beta-Gamma's defending champion all-girlfootball team will open defense of their Western title if (and it's a big if) they can locate a challengingteam. Beta-Gamma, which perennially rules Western leadership in female athletics, appears to haveanother undefeated season. The team, which went unscored upon last season, has had trouble findingopponents due to its awesome record and team ability. Any girl team, which feels up to the challenge, is asked to reply to this challenge by contacting any of the Beta-Gamma aides. Western's powder puffleague plays flag football with eight members on each team. small colleges. Western is ranked third.The Loggers have dropped decisions to San Francisco State and U.S. International, while beatingRedlands and PLU. The Vikings will enter the game with the most potent rushing attack in Evco,averaging 207 net yards in four games. Tom Wigg and Steve Skogmo rank first and fifth, respectively, in the loop in rushing. Wigg also leads Evco in scoring and is fifth in total offense, close behind teammateGlenn Hadland. The Loggers are spending the year rebuilding with juniors and sophomores after amediocre 5-5 ledger last year. UPS will, probably base most of their offense on a strong ground attack,led by fullback Bill Potter and running back Bill Bougal. Handling the quarterback duties in place ofgraduated star Bob Cason will be junior Greg Garnett, with back-up help from Mike Mickas. Top Loggerreceiver is Dan Johnson. Western could strike with some success through the air, as Puget Sound'spass defense is the one area coach Dan Ryan is trying to bolster the most. Hadland, the Vik's fieldgeneral, will be hoping to have a better game than he did against PLU, when he was five for 11 for 66yards. However, should the Tacoma senior not be able to move the Big Blue, Marshall Torre will bewaiting in the wings to try his hand at moving the ball club. Torre, a junior from Belmont, Calif., came inin the last three minutes of Western's 33-3 win over Southern Oregon to throw two touchdown passes.Vik coach Boyde Long hopes to have running back Jody Miller back in harness for Saturday's tilt, butwill probably not play him unless absolutely necessary. Miller twisted his knee in Western's win overCentral. He is expected to be ready for regular duty next week against Eastern Washington. Kickofftime for the UPS game is slated for 1:30 p.m. at Baker Field on the Puget Sound campus. Ruggers win at Meraloma Holding off a last gasp comeback by the Red Lions of Vancouver, B.C., Western's rugbyteam won the "B" division championship at the Meraloma Tournament, in Vancouver over the weekend,beating the Lions in the final game, 13-12. The Viks won four games in the three day tourney, downingLangley, 16-0, Meraloma, 18-0, the Scribes, 7-0, and the Lions. Western will meet the Scribes in twogames tomorrow behind Carver Gym, the first contest starting at 1:15 p.m. Booters bump Falcons, 4-3Two second-half goals by Greg Wesselius, enabled Western's soccer club to win its conference openerwith a 4-3 victory over Seattle Pacific College last Wednesday in Seattle.

Blossom needs 101,229 signatures by July 7 to get marijuana legalization inWashington on this fall's ballot. Photo by JIM THOMSON BLOSSOM blooms By JACK BROOM StaffReporter Thorn Abbott and Steve Wilcox, co-chairmen of BLOSSOM, Basic Liberalization of Smokersand Sympathizers of Marijuana, spoke at Western Tuesday. It was the first day of t h e i r campaign togather 101,229 valid signatures for their Initiative 264 peitition to legalize marijuana. Seventy petitionswere handed out and more than $50 was collected from sale of BLOSSOM T-shirts and patches. During an interview with the Front, Abbott said, "I really enjoyed the turnout here. I was especially impressedwith the number of registered voters (approximately 80 per cent of the crowd of 100). "It really did myheart good to see all those registered voters out there. The average marijuana smoker is not a registered voter. Neither is the average sympathizer, for those of you who wouldn't touch the stuff." BothBLOSSOM chairmen are optimistic about the chances of their initiative getting on the ballot and passing if enough people are willing to contribute time and money to the cause. "Money will be our biggestproblem; it's harder to get than signatures or votes," Abbott said. BLOSSOM's main expenses areprinting and mailing its newsletter and the printing of the initiative petitions, which must be done with theexact format prescribed by the . Secretary of State. "If we could just get a quarter for every lid that'll besold in this state in the next month, we'd be doing okay," Abbott said. "People don't mind paying tenbucks for a lid, (approximately an ounce of marijuana) but they don't like the idea of giving a few bucksfor legalization. "Most people are reluctant to spend any money they can't see or feel and up until nowwe were asking for money for something that was only in the planning stage," he said. BLOSSOM israising funds by selling patches and T-shirts with silk screened designs of marijuana plants. If passed,the initiative will legalize marijuana possession and sales and call for the release of all "marijuanaprisoners." In addition, it would make advertising marijuana a gross misdemeanor. "We want it to beillegal to advertise it in order to prevent a mass commercialization of marijuana which would probablygive the state the incentive to levy a tax on weed," Abbott said. If the initiative oasses, there will be notax on marijuana, at least until the state legislature specifically creates one. Abbott believes that certain individuals with enough money and land to mass-produce weed may be letting non-profit organizationslike BLOSSOM do the work of legalization so they can cash in on the market. "Playboy has given$100,000 and free advertising space to NORML (National Organization for the Reform of MarijuanaLaws), and I doubt that Hugh Hefner . is doing it as a humanitarian project," Abbott said. BLOSSOMhas applied for help from NORML and been refused. " I envision BLOSSOM becoming a dope co-opwhere we can get weed to people who can't grow their own, for a cost way below the current $10 a lid,"he said. "Right now the main thing you're paying for is people's paranoia because if somebody's goingto score you some grass, he's going to want to make a few bucks off your ass, even if he's your bestfriend. "The main thing we'd like to see is a lot of people growing their own dope so there will n e v e r be a need for commercialization," Wilcox said. " G o o d , home-grown Washington Green," Abbott added. Joint effort needeo to legalize pot In order to be placed on November's ballot, Initiative 264 must besigned by 101,299 registered voters. That figure represents eight per cent of Washington's voter turnoutin N o v e m b e r , 1 9 6 8. The petitions came out this Tuesday and must be turned into the office ofthe Secretary of State no later than July 7, allowing exactly five months for gathering signatures. Anyperson signing Initiative 264 should be aware that: -He must sign under _the same name he registered to vote, â€”He must fill in the county in which he will be voting this November, â€”Anyone signing with any other than his own name, or signing more than once, will be subject to fine and/or imprisonment. Anyname appearing more than once will be disqualified, regardless of whether the person is a registeredvoter. Expecting a certain amount of phony names, the office of the Secretary of State will not acceptthe petitions unless 115,000 signatures have been collected. If 120,000 or more signatures arepresented, the office will spot-check the validity of signatures. If between 115,000 and 120,000 namesappear, all will be checked. An open forum panel, in which several student leaders will be available toanswer questions concerning their respective positions, will be held at 1 p.m. today in the Viking Unionlounge. It is an attempt to open channels between the student leaders and the college community.Student leaders participating are: AS President Tod Sundquist; AS vice-president Larry Diamond, whohas also been involved with WashPIRG; J a m e s K e n n e d y , AS administrative assistant and anAll-College Senator; Stan Cuykendall, AS academic coordinator; Craig Cole, AS housing commissioner; Jackie Lawson, editor of the Western Front; and Bill Braswell, editor of the Klipsun and chairman of the Activities Council. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 11 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Friday, February 11, 1972 r â€¢ â€¢ M â€” * â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Â» at I A. AiR-fcfcW**8 B.YWeR-HUPgFMRiVisR. 0 3.A lt;U fc Front Editorials Elliott scraps Scoop For several years, blackstudents and other minority groups have accused the Western Washington State College Bookstore ofpracticing discrimination in its employment policies. Though this may have been true in the past, I wantto point out that since fall quarter 1971 the store has been under new management, and I can assure you that we are an equal opportunity employer. We have been planning, in fact, to actively seek out minoritypersons to add to our staff. However, that is not the real matter to which this statement addresses itself,though it is certainly a major factor. Here is what happened: A few months ago we began a major effort toimprove our store, upgrade the level of its services and generally make it a better, more useful place forstudents and other members of the college community. Toward that end we adopted a new logotype witha cartoon character to help us, as we said in an advertisement on Tuesday, "lighten up." Unfortunately,some members of the black community felt that the facial features of the cartoon character stereotypedand therefore exploited members of the black race. This was most assuredly not our intention. Wethought the character was merely a character . . . simply a funny, happy drawing of a "truckin' student," atype of cartoon familiar to the readers of underground comics. We thought, quite mistakenly, that thecharacter would offend no one. Since we were wrong, we are withdrawing the character and replacing him with another. It is my hope that the communication between minority students on campus and thebookstore that has been opened up by this incident will prove to be mutually constructive.

NEWSROOM: 676-3161 ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 onthe home front by steve Johnston Applying Laws of CRAM As sone students appear to be havingtrouble memorizing their textbooks for mid-terms, it is time once again to reiterate the Laws ofConscious Retention Applying Movement (CRAM). This surefire system was developed in ancientGreece by a contortionist who discovered his entire body could be used as a crib sheet. Unlike the other methods of cribbing which include writing all the answers on a piece of toilet paper and- wrapping itaround the wrist, the student has no worry about being called a cheat when using this ancient science.The only thing he brings to class-besides a piece of paper and a pencilâ€”is his body. However, a word of caution is in order. The first law of CRAM states it should be used only in cases of emergency, such asthe night before a final. Also it should be pointed out that CRAM was developed strictly as amemorization aid on tests where dates and names are of prime importance, and not for comprehensivetests where what the student knows is of prime importance; although it can be helpful in memorizing lists of ideas. The student should first have some idea what the test will be about. This can be accomplishedseveral ways, either by attending class and taking notes, buying the textbook and glancing through it,asking the teacher the day before the exam or bribing the person running off the test. It is also veryimportant to know if you will be taking a biology test or a history test, for applying to laws of CRAM tolearning all about Disraeii will not help if you have to know about cell structure, although it couldn't hurt.Now let's say on an off-chance you have attended the class and also purchased the class textbook, soyou have some idea what the test will cover. Taking this assumption one step farther, let us say you have an inkling that the teacher will ask some questons about, say, Disraeli, such, as when he was born. Inorder to make CRAM work you have to assign different parts of your body to mean different things thenight before the test. Something along the lines of a crib sheet in braille. Your fingers can stand for dates. By putting your two closed fists in front of you, count from left to right. Your left pinkie can stand fornumber one, your ring finger, number two and so on. When you discover Disraeli was born in 1804, youshoot your left pinkie out (1) and your right middle finger (8), then twitch your thumbs a little to remindyourself there is a zero in there and finally stick out your left index finger (4). Should you have themisfortune of leaving your fingers in this position and waving your hands in the air during class, yourteacher may misinterpret the workings of CRAM as some sort of social comment on his test or class and throw you out of the room. Hence the second law of CRAM states it is always wise to keep your handslow and make no sudden moves. Now the teacher may quiz you further on Disraeli by asking somethingabout his foreign policy. Again you look at your fingers and utilize the information you already have,mainly his date of birth. Return your fingers to this position, left pinkie and index and right middle fingerssticking out. You will carefully note the position of your fingers. Should you ever position your fingers insuch a way in front of another student it could be seen as an act of aggression and probably earn you apunch in the nose. So, by using this information, you should remember Disraeli had an aggressive foreignpolicy, which could be termed as imperialism. Or the teacher may ask what title Disraeli held other thanBritish prime minister. Stick out your left pinkie to mean one or first, then pull on your right ear. Whilepulling on your ear remember how ear is spelled. This will give you a second clue for it is only one letterfrom ear to earl. So do not put down First Ear. You should so far have First Earl. Next reach up and touch nose. A nose sticks out and is sometimes called a beak. No, Disraeli was not the First Earl of Beak.You must continue by remembering that because a nose does stick out in front of your face it can alsoserve as a beacon. Now grab hold of your left thigh and squeeze it. No fair grabbing your neighbor's leftthigh. Consider what you are doing. Grabbing your left thigh, of course. And why are you doing that?Because it feels good? No, because you are taking a test and have to remember something aboutDisraeli. So far you have that he was First Earl of Beacon, right? Okay, now apply feel, which you just didto your thigh, to your findings and it should spark he was the First Earl of Beaconsfield. If you can'tremember field and can only get as far as feel, then write down Beaconsfeel in sloppy letters. Hopefullythe teacher will think your E's are L's and D's and pass it by. There are numerous ways to apply theLaws of CRAM and you have a whole body to play with. This should get you on the right foot, which is aright wing and stands for.many things. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 11 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, February 11, 1972 .Western Front 3 Letters: Shop/iff ideas Kidz lauded Editor, Western Front: I, for one, would like to shary my own point of view on shoplifting in the bookstore. I feel that one way toreduce the temptation to shoplift is to have someone watch all the shelves while we are in the bookstore. I had put my book on the shelf "as required" by the bookstore rules, but after a while upstairs 1 cameout and my book was SHOPLIFTED from the shelf. And since then, because I hate to keep going andreporting a stolen book, or what have you, I find myself tempted to shoplift instead. So why do I keepputting my articjes on the shelf? Simply because I am required to by one of the rules at the expense ofsomeone else, shoplifting from the shelf. Therefore, I feel we should either change to not being requiredto leave books on shelves, or else have someone watch the shelves while we are in the bookstore. Also, as added insurance against loss from shoplifters, have all books stamped "paid" when bought from thebookstore, and "buy-back" when bought back from the students. And lastly, if someone is watching theshelves, let's have them numbered and give the student a similar number. But above all, let's begin now, TODAY. Barry Maddocks AS Assistant Non-Academic Coordinator Won't flush Editor, Western Front: Scoopee-do! Like wow, it's sure groovy to see the bookstore updating it's 50's image. The 70's are here! What better symbol than a thick-lipped and kinky-haired cartoon character with an obese tongue. Righton, man! The co-op is as far out as a Hallmark store. And recycling! As soon as they get it together.What next? Army fatigues instead of Western t-shirts? More soft core poster pornography? Discountson deodorant? A dirty floor? It's swell to see the old co-op getting their shit together, as we say in theyouth scene. But for this customer, the crap won't flush. Be what you are. Peace, power, etc. etc. BillDietrich Journalism Stilt a rip-off? Editor, Western Front: I am writing you this letter in response to theadvertisement that was in the Tuesday issue of the Western Front concerning the student book store.The advertisement claimed to list all the things the book store was doing to save us money. What Iwould like to know is just who are they trying to kid? I have in my collection of books that I have boughtat the Co-op a used psychology book that cost $11.00 and a biology book that cost $4.50 but wasadvertised on the back of the book for $3.25. Along with those there are some that will get me a reduced amount of money when I sell them back because that particular class will not be offered next quarter.Some of the ideas that they want to enact have much merit. However, putting a deposit for recyclablematerial in the book store will not lower the price of books and selling deodorant for a cheaper price willnot make up for what is lost when you have to buy books. Tim Adlington Freshman Editor, WesternFront: I take exception to your coverage of the Lamar Harrington/Ze Fabulous Whiz Kidz show.Apparently the audience went to the show with e x p e c t a t i o n s . The only expectation one mayhave of a Lamar Harrington performance is that no expectations can be made. Such is the bliss of theirflowâ€”to let it be. Lamar and the Lamarettes sent out the loosest, m o s t free v i b r a t i o n s, e n c ou r a g i n g audience participation as musicians and dancers. Their relaxed jam was held together inwaves rather than being dominated by a "star" participant. I for one do not feel the need to have musicpresented in highly-structured, four-minute packages, or to have my role as audience member s t r i c t ly defined. Lamar transcended that invisible line between performer and audience and just let their musicgo. If Charlie Whiskers could go with the flow why couldn't everyone? Ze Fabulous Whiz Kidz put on the most original, imaginative and innovative stage show I've ever witnessed. That they have the balls to getup and perform their unique material puts them up front in revolutionary theaterâ€”presenting behavior b l a t a n t l y opposed to socially-approved action with a shameless and delightful vitality, obscuring therelevancy of "are they gay?" and pushing that question to the idea that indeed whatever sexualpreference they (i.e. anyone) may have is, of course, irrelevant. Ze Whiz Kidz maintained control of their material throughout the show. Thanks to Gay Liberation Front for bringing this double bill to Bellingham. Marilyn E. Hoban Senior, Pre-Major Kidz overrated The students at Western are hungry forentertainment. In hopes of seeing something a little different, they rushed out and bought up all thetickets to the Whiz Kidz concert. What they saw was a lot different. Most of the entertainment-hungrystudents left half way through the show looking for something to keep them from throwing up. I doubtthat ever before had so many students got the shaft. The Whiz Kidz pulled off a robbery Jesse Jameswould have been proud of. I had seen the Whiz Kidz before and was at least slightly prepared for theshaft. The best part of the night for me was watching the audience react to the Kidz. At first, theycouldn't believe what they were seeing. They held their mouths open not knowing what to do. Finally,they realized that they had gotten the shaft and left after giving some four-letter comments to the Kidzabout their act. I was surprised to see so many at the robbery. Some of the blame should go to theWestern Front, my beloved publication. Not only did they give the Kidz a page one article but they alsopublished one small article after another about the "entertainers." The "X" rating also led many studentsto the shaft. The old hope of seeing something nasty was used by the robbers. However, the only thingnasty the students came across was the taste the Kidz left in their mouths. . One nice thing \yas thatso many got the shaft. You don't feel so bad after knowing that there are other idiots who got shafted.Gary Lackey Journalism Subordination? Editor, Western Front: Must the student subordinate himselfto the faculty? Alternatively, is the faculty to be regarded as beyond reproach? Approached from adifferent angle, what is the degree of perfection desired in those who hold themselves out as models ofthe human character? These questions arose in my mind subsequent to a recent off-campus, ratherimpromptu confrontation with a facultty member previously unknown to me. (Name upon reuqest.) Thatthis event took place while operating one of mankind's more dehumanizing creations, the automobile,only marginally detracts from the belief that vulgar, aggressive, damaging and unlawful behavior is not tobe expected from anyone, much less a Ph.D. One measure of a man's maturity is recognition of hismistakes. An indication of his generosity is in the admission of those mistakes. We don't expect ourleaders (teachers) to be perfect. It's more important that they demonstrate a character others mightadmire. I've found these attributes wanting in one member of our faculty. Fortunately, I don't need anysubjects under his supervision, but what of those who do? John Sherman Growth rates? Editor, theWestern Front: There is a great furor being raised now over the number of faculty employed and theirsalaries. The monetary problems of the state are constantly cited, and it is assured on every hand thatthe only solution is to cut back on faculty. I think that is nonsense. If I were a faculty member ratherthan a student, I think I would gather some other faculty together and begin examining some statistics. Iwould select a base year, such as 1950, and learn what the numbers of s t u d e n t s , faculty and non-faculty employees were. I would then obtain these same figures for each year up to the present andbegin comparing the growth rates of these areas. I would be quite surprised if the growth rate for non-faculty employees is not at least two to three times that of faculty. I would then list all those non-faculty positions which have been added during this period and. present the full findings to the legislature andpress. I think the results would be interesting. Lee Doughty Ed. for profs Editor, Western Front: Yeah!for Richard Connelly's letter about the "Ivory Tower" academic community at Western. Unfortunately, the educational system at Western does not exist to provide the student with meani ngf ul education or the community wit h useful, productive members. It exists to provide a lot of professors with jobs. They will allow no real change if it means they will lose those jobs, but will use every ounce of their energy topreserve the status quo. If any change is to come, it will not come from within this institution itself.Teresa Pfingst Psychology Pot 'senseless9 Editor, Western Front: In regard to the article in the Feb.one Front concerning seven past Presidents growing and smolcing pot, what is the use of printing anarticle about how ignorant past presidents have been without warning others not to be as senseless asthey were? Mike Vander Meer Freshman Alpha horophile Editor, Western Front: I have a habit. I'm aclock watcher. Every morning I stumble down the stairs of Alpha, check the time from the clock in thelobby and rush down the hill to class. As I pass Bond Hall, I check the time again from the hall clockand make a run for the Humanities Building. I find myself checking the clocks in the cafeterias and inthe classrooms, aside from continuously stopping people with watches. I worked myself into a prettysteady routine. And the clock I relied on most was the one in Alpha's lobby. Notice, I said "was." Then I discovered the Habit Breakers. By removing our lobby clock, the H.B.'s figured I wouldn't look up thereany more. Wrong! I still look, but only to see a blank wall with one bare-looking cord. That clock mayassist four or even six people in their house or apartment, but by satisfying themselves, they deprive over 80 girls of deserved satisfaction. My thanks to the Habit Breakers, only this is one chick who didn'twant her habit broken. Judy Kellogg Ridge way Alpha Just the facts Editor, Western Front: Concerning Chris Elder's letter in the Feb. 1 issue: Let's deal with facts only, Mr. Elder. FACT 1; Our involvement in Indochina may indeed border on genocide. FACT 2; The courts have defined genocide as a capitaloffense. This does not mean, as you stated it did, that Ken Ritchie is proposing capital punishment forall who participated in and/or supported the war in Indochina (the Armed Forces, Congress, and all theAmerican taxpayers, by your figures), considering punishing these people for their imtolvement. Let'sdeal with realism only, Mr. Elder, in your criticism. After all, the best way to convince someone of thetruth of an idea is to clearly exaggerate the opposing argument to the point of deceit.

Undergradcouncil elimination proposed by Faculty Council TheFaculty Council has sent a proposal to the college senate to reorganize the councils under theAcademic Coordinating Commission (ACC) even though the commission has yet to be elected. Theproposal would eliminate the Undergraduate Council and replace it with a teacher curricula andcertification council and an arts and sciences curricula council. The ACC's five other c o u n c i l ' s , the Fairhaven Curricula Council, Huxley Curricula Council, Ethnic Studies Curricula Council, ResearchCouncil and Graduate Council would remain intact. The 21-member teacher curricula and certificationcouncil would replace the present teacher education subcommittee of the Academic Council and bechaired by the associate dean for teacher education. Members of the council would be drawn -fromfaculty, students, teacher organizations and schools. The arts and sciences curricula council would beresponsible for approving courses and programs in arts and sciences and general studies. The senatereferred the Faculty Council proposal to its newly elected ad-hoc committee on the constitution to put itin the form of a motion. If the senate passes the proposal, it would have to be ratified by students,faculty, administration and staff in a special election. 411 East Magnolia â€¢ Bellingham ever gonna get Music was all we had left of Janis Joplin.

But how many can say they've ever been in a true vaudeville theatre? If you've everbeen to the Grand Theatre, here in town, then you've been in a vaudeville house. Built in 1913, theGrand Theatre was host to a great number of vaudeville shows. These variety shows consisted ofspecialty acts including magicians, dance teams, singers, acrobats, animal acts and sketches orplaylets. When silent films became available the Grand included a film along with the regular acts. Asthe "talkies" came in, the tiny dressing rooms, still in the basement of the theatre today, were desertedand the old vaudeville house became a motion picture theatre. The Grand has gone through a number of changes since then. There were several closings, managers and changes. It now has the original name. Located at 1224 Commercial, the Grand is the oldest theatre still operating in Bellingham. SanfordPalo, manager and co-owner of the Grand, said that students make up a good portion of his business.The Grand offers a $1.25 admission for students with identification. "We try to run a happy medium ofpictures for the entire community," Palo said. Credits, ten discussed i Credit transfer House Bill (HB)287 provides that any student enrolled in an institution of higher learning can transfer to another collegeor university without a loss of credits. Landlords/tenants This bill would establish a comprehensive lawregulating the rights of landlords and tenants. Among other things HB 553 would require landlords toplace damage deposits in a special account, but would also allow landlords to charge a reasonablecleaning fee. The bill states a landlord cannot cut off utilities or unlawfully remove a tenant's belongingswithout facing a fine.

Other pictures may not be asinteresting for students but most students are open to anything and many still come." The Grand is aSterling Recreational Organization theatre and the films are booked by the main office in Seattle. "Wedon't like to disappoint people by promising a film and then never showing it," Palo said. "Sometimes itcan't be helped, however, as in the case ant rights n House In-state tuition This bill would amend thedefinition of resident and non-resident for tuition purposes. House Bill 240 defines a student as someonewho has been domiciled in the state for at least one year before the last day of the quarter for other than educational purposes. Bicycle trails Identical bills in the house and senate would provide money fromgasoline sales tax to be used for constructing bicycle trials and foot paths. Student loans HB 412creates an agency which can grant loans to any state resident planning to attend an institution of higherlearning. These loans have a limit of $1,500 a year and can be repaid in 15 years. The agency wouldhave the power to pick who will receive aid and the bill specifically excludes "certain disruptive students."

There are 91recreation majors, and 34 minors with 14 recreation classes and one teacher to take care of them all.Recreation students want more. In a meeting Tuesday recreation students met to make their opinionson their future known. The most pressing concerns were the lack of a d e q u a t e faculty anddepartment status. Two years ago a committee of Western faculty members recommended thatrecreation be given department status and at least two more instructors. That was when the number ofstudents enrolled was half of what it is now. But nothing has been done. Recreation instructor DonPeterson reported that President Flora has been approached for additional funding but that the answerhas been, because of lack of money, "not a chance." Huxley college has also been asked for help inproviding teachers. That possibility is still up in the air. "Other students don't have to put up with this,"Peterson said. Recreation at Western has one of the worst student-teacher ratios in the nation amongsimilar recreation programs. Last Tuesday's Western Front showed technology has a major-teacher ratio of 28.1-1, art has 27.1-1, and economics has 28-1. Recreation's ratio is 91-1. Recreation majors havebeen increasing because the field of outdoor recreation is expanding and future job prospects are good.They feel Western's education in this field has not kept with the trend. A new committee is working on a proposal for a recreation department. Peterson said the proposal would be submitted to the provost inabout a month. He said, "I'm sure we'll become a department in maybe a year, two years from now."Registration loses late charge A new policy of registration cancellation will replace the $10 late chargefor non-payment of tuition and fees, effective with pre-registration for Spring quarter. Robert W. Thirsk,assistant registrar, said this new policy is necessary because students who register for courses anddon't pay their tuition and fees prevent other students, especially new transfer students and freshmen,from registering for classes they need. The cancellation policy will operate on the assumption that every student who does not pay his tuition and fees by the published deadline is not returning for the quarterregistered for and should have his courses canceled and made available for other students. Thirsk saidthis policy has become necessary because an increasing number of students are not completing theirregistrations by paying tuition and fees. S t u d e n t s who have extenuating circumstances and knowthey will not be able to pay tuition and fees on time may request an extension from the Dean of Students Office. Those who are on financial aid will not be penalized. Those students who get canceled will haveto completely re-register at the risk of not getting their original courses. Thirsk said there will be certainsituations where students may be canceled for reasons beyond their control, such as lost mail, but thatevery effort will be made to re-register them for their original courses. Hildebrand to be temporaryBookstore Board chairman James Hildebrand of the math department has become the temporarychairman of the Bookstore Board replacing George Golden, junior from Vancouver, who resigned thatposition as of Wednesday. Hildebrand said he became temporary chairman "because I wouldn't accept it any other way." He explained that he thought the permanent chairman should be a student. One of themain functions of the Bookstore Board right now, according to Hildebrand, is to write up a new charter for the bookstore. He said the board would hopefully have the charter finished within 30 days. Also within30 days, the Bookstore Board should recommend that the $2 bookstore fee be rescinded, used for newbookstore buildings or used ' for other purposes, Hildebrand said. The $2 bookstore fee was added toWestern's tuition in 1959 to pay off the bookstore building, but it was not now needed for that purpose.Touring theater on campus Western's Youth Theater, which has been touring schools throughout thestate this quarter, will bring its plays to the campus tomorrow night in a three-hour program beginning at 7 p.m. in Lecture Hall 1. The program, directed by Douglas Vander Yacht, involves three casts ofstudent actors with plays designed to appeal to audiences from kindergarten to high school. Openingthe program is "The Black Box," an audience-participation play aimed at children in kindergarten through second grade. Following at 8 p.m. is "The Ice Wolf," a play based on a folk tale of the Hudson's Bay E s k i m o s involvving the adventures of a pale-haired child exiled from her people because she isdifferent. This play is designed for children in grades three through eight. At 9 p.m. "Collision Course,'three contemporary short plays, chosen to appeal to high school and college audience, will complete the offering.

KGMI is an automated radio station, the only one in this area. If there are anyfears of automation, KGMI won't take them away. T h e r e are banks of equipment just the other side of the waiting room door including tape machines, reel-to-reel and cartridge, that start and stop bythemselves. The whole operation looks more like a computer center than a radio station. The station, isa proving ground for International Good Music Corp. of Bellingham. IGM tape's all varieties of music andentire programs to be sold to radio stations around the world. They also build the equipment needed toplay these tapes. John Munroe has been with the station for three years. He is in charge of seeing thatKGMI functions smoothly as a whole. Munroe explained that automation in radio represents aspecialization of man and machine. The machiens cue up and start the music automatically. At otherstations the announcer is likely to have that job included in his responsibilities. A great deal of what isheard on KGMI has been taped well before the show. In fact, part of what is heard might be a series oftapes thanks to a "switchtone." A switchtone is actually a piece of tape on the recorded tape that tellsone playback machine when to quit and another to begin. Munroe said that although there are probablysome who aren't happy with the idea of an automated station, he hasn't had any complaints. Onereason might be that it's hard to tell where- the taped portion ends and the live begins. "All stations arepretty automated now," Munroe said. Most stations have some sort of cartridge playback machine thatworks from cues on the tapes.

Campfire Girls selling three types of candy If the Campfire Girls haven'tbeen to your door already, they will be there. The Samish Council of Camp Fire Girls started its annualcandy sale Saturday and according to Executive Director Audree Cajfas, the college is included in thedoor-to-door campaign. They are selling three different types of candy: mints, almond roca and apletsand cotlets. Mrs. Cajfas said the sale will continue through February 23. The $1.25 price on eachconfection helps the girls support their camping programs, services to other girls and the various othercommunity services the group is active in. KGMI doesn't keep a record library of their own. They obtaintheir music from IGM which is located in the same building. Munroe described the music as middle-of-the-road. He admitted that he doesn't suspect a' large portaion of the college-age audience listens to it.Not everything heard on KGMI is taped. Local sports coverage, local news and a program calledIMPACT, as well as others, are done live. IMPACT is a talk-information program hosted by Haines Fay.IMPACT features area people and controversial issues of the day that are of importance to Bellinghamresidents. Munroe said this is one of KGMI's most popular programs. KGMI places a great deal of e m p h a s i s on its local programming. Included are obituaries, births, public service information and localclassifieds. It's possible to hear up to 14 different people when listening, not all belonging to KGMI.Some belong to KISM-FM and IGM. Paul Harvey and ABC announcers Howard K. Smith and HarryReasoner can be heard on KGMI as well as Don McMaster, "heard more than any DJ in the world."McMaster has gained this d i s t i n c t i o n from wide distribution of IGM tapes. KGMI is at 790 on theradio dial. Legal service opens here A legal representation service for persons who cannot otherwiseafford an attorney has opened an office in Bellingham. Funded by the U.S. Office of EconomicOpportunity (OEO), Northwest Washington Legal Services will handle civil cases only and eligibility isopen to the unemployed or welfare recipients. A spokesman for Western's legal services office said that any service which informs people of their rights is definitely useful. "As long as the services can bejustified, it's necessary," the campus spokesman said. "If it's funded by the government then they havegot to be doing some good." The office will serve Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish counties, and willhave five attorneys, including director Kent Millikan.

The girls said the man had put his hand on theirshoulders, displayed a knife and forced them off the path into a heavily wooded area. Two of the girlswere robbed and sexually assaulted. The third girl was robbed but not physically harmed. The attacksbegan three weeks ago and occurred approximately 10 days apart. Campus Security has been workingwith the Bellingham Police in an effort to trap the individual committing the crimes. Both departmentshad been supplying personnel to cover the area but had to discontinue when a sign reading, "Beware ofRapist" was put up in the area under surveillance. Director of Security, R.G. Peterson said the signmakes further efforts with surveillance unrewarding because a lot of these individuals continue mainlybecause most women do not report the incidents. Two of the girls concerned did report the incidentspromptly but the first girl attacked maintained silence until she learned that others had been attacked."Anyone who has been a victim of assault should contact security and the names will be kept instrictest confidence," Peterson said. "A girl who has not reported an incident may have information thatwill help." Besides the attacks in the Sehome Hill area, there have been four reports of girls beingaccosted when they have solicited or been offered rides. None of these girls has been sexually molested but one girl was physically restrained from leaving the car. Another reported she was propositioned and accosted when she refused. Peterson gave this advice to co-eds: "Don't accept rides with anyone youdon't know. You might have a legitimate ride, you might get kissed or you might get raped." Publicityhad been withheld by security and police to give them a chance to catch the individual committing thecrimes. They advised students to stay inside at night if possible and if they have to go out, not to travelalone. Assaults and murder of co-eds on the campus of Oregon State University have,resulted inextremely tight security measures. Two girls reported being assaulted in the last six days and a girl was stabbed to death Tuesday night. Peterson said he hoped it would not come to that at Western andasked that anyone who has been assaulted or has information contact security. USMC trained to killVC, Book exposes boot camp (CPS)-"When we had to go and eat we went to the mess hall and we had. to yell 'kill' at the top of our lungs three times before we were allowed to eat." These are the words of anex-U.S. Marine describing a part of his training at the Marine Boot Camp on Parris Island, S.C. Thisparticular Marine deserted following his tour of duty in Vietnam in 1968 and now lives in Sweden. Hisobservations and those of men like him, are recorded in Mark Lane's "Conversations with American"(Simon Schuster: N Y 1970): ' ' "We used to run around saying, 'VC, VC, kill, kill, kill, gotta kill, gottakill, 'cause it's fun, 'cause it's fun.' " This same Marine told of a prayer posted in every barracks on ParrisIsland. "It's a prayer for war. Every night at nine o'clock we had to pray that there'd be a war, so that theMarine Corps could always be on the move, because that was their job, to fight." The text of the prayerfollows: Though I walk Thru the Valley In the Shadow of DEATH "~ I fear no EVIL For I am the BiggestBaddest Mother-Fâ€” In the Valley Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep I Pray the LORD the WAR to Keep SoMARINES can come and Save the Day- And I Can Earn My God Damn PAY God Bless the UnitedStates God Bless the Drill Instructors God Bless the Marine Corps Financial aid deadline The deadlinefor financial aid applications for the 1972-73 academic year is Tuesday.

Routine VD checkCOming Finals week plan adds 'needed order'(CPS)-In an attempt to help hold back the rising epidemic of venereal disease the Public Health Serviceis recommending for the first time that doctors routinely test women for gonorrhea as part of regularphysical check-ups. Despite a marked rise in the number of reported gonorrhea cases from 264,158 in1961 to 600,072 in 1970, health officials consider the disease grossly under-reported. Dr. John Miller,the Public Health Service's top venereal disease expert, estimates that 2.25 million Americans getgonorrhea each year. Dr. Miller estimates that 640,000 women may have gonorrhea and not know it.Women, unlike men, are free of overt symptoms. These women, called asymptomatic carriers, canbecome sterile or transmit t h e disease by sexual intercourse. Men can tell they have gonorrheabecause it generally p r o d u c e s u n m i s t a k a b le symptoms such as a burning sensation in thepenis from three to nine days after sexual exposure. The Public Health Service's recommendation forthe routine gonorrhea test was based on the findings of a three-year study of women who were-'havingregular pelvic examinations in 36 towns and cities. The results were: 1. 8.9 per " cent of the 740,446women tested had gonorrhea. 2. 5.2 per cent of the 620,060 women who were tested in settings otherthan venereal disease clinics had gonorrhea. 3. 80 per cent of the women found to have gonorrhea were asymptomatic carriers. Gonorrhea, unlike syphilis, cannot be detected by a blood test. To detectgonorrhea, doctors must rely on a culture test which can only be made by pelvic examination.According to Dr. Miller, gonorrhea can cause arthritis, irritate tendons, damage the heart, mimic gallbladder pain and cause unnecessary surgery, blind newborns and cause meningitis. Advanced stages,says Miller, can bring about a condiction known as septic shock that results from pus produced bygonorrhea bacteria in pelvic organs such as ovaries, fallopian tubes and the uterus. S u r g e o n s mustdo complicated and expensive surgical procedures called "pelvic cleanouts" to save the lives of suchpatients. "Such operations make it impossible for these women to have children," Miller said. Frontfinals week survey tries again for feedback The Front is again running a finals week survey because it isfelt that student feedback is necessary before the Academic Council takes action on this matter on Feb.22. The questionnaires can be dropped off at any campus mail outlet either at department offices, in thedormitories or at the Viking Union desk. Campus Mail I prefer: last quarter's finals method last year'sfinals method De Hiles proposed finals method A student-designed finals week proposal which retainsthe flexibility of Fall quarter's system and adds the "needed order" of last year's system, has beensubmitted to the Academic Council (AC) for consideration. De Hiles, a sophomore psychology majorwho wrote the proposal, told the Academic Council at the beginning of this quarter that students wereunhappy with Fall quarter's system. "I was unhappy with my finals week schedule last quarter withfinals piled-up in two days and I couldn't find anyone else who liked it either," she said. Also, the oldsystem with two-hour specified finals, she believes, was too inflexible. Miss Hiles, who has recentlybeen appointed a student member to the AC, explained that her proposal would retain the flexibility ofFall quarter's system by allowing the professor to hold class if he wants. She said that by schedulingfinals in an organized manner with one-hour finals, the student will not find that all of his finals fall on thesame day. She believes that her proposal wilj. eliminate/ the overload the same week and will eliminatethe possibility of a professor giving a final the week before finals week. The proposal, itself, requires aprofessor to hold class every day during finals either by conducting normal class sessions withassignments and no final or by allowing the professor to give a final advising that he doesn't give dailyassignments. If there is a final exam: classes meeting Monday, Wednesday and Friday at an even hour will have a final that Monday r classes meeting at an odd hour those days will have a final onWednesday; Tuesday and Thursday even-hour classes will have a final on Tuesday while odd-hourclasses will take a final on Thursday? a class meeting five day s a week has the option of taking theexam on either day; and no more than one test may be given during finals week. Another provision isthat finals may be given only during finals week. The AC will review the final's week system Feb. 22. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 11 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Friday, February 11, 1972 : n r WETRONICS, INC.

The job of the academic coordinator is to identify students' needs and desireson academic change and develop proposals for them. Cuykendall said one of the reasons he is quittingis that although he thinks he is doing a good job, "when someone else comes to my office, it is a littlehard to explain to them what I have done for them." Cuykendall, who receives $150 a quarter asacademic c o o r d i n a t o r , believes â€¢ that students may not be getting their money's worth out ofhim. Other reasons he plans on resigning are that he does not have enough time to spend as academiccoordinator and he is running for a position on the Academic Coordination Council (ACC). This quarterCuykendall has worked on the cooperative education program, proposed changing the finals weeksystem and proposed a new course, X-100, where students could get credit for working in studentgovernment.

"I most certainly believe that the academic coordinatorshould be paid. He is getting peanuts as it now stands." He has also asked Dean of Arts and SciencesWilliam Bultmann to have professors make a class syllabus before the quarter begins so students cango to a designated location to pick them up. He said this may eliminate many dropped classes. Healso plans to submit a proposal for a women's study program to the Academic Council in the next fewweeks. By MARIE HAUGEN Staff Reporter "Scarcely ever do I get to bed before midnight." "I mean tostudy hard and improve as much as possible." Sound familiar? Nearly every college student makesthese statements at one time or another. In fact, college students have been making similar statements since there have been colleges. The above quotes are taken from a diary by Effie Moulton, a student atWhatcom Normal school in 1903, when the campus was but four years old. The following are moreexcerpts from her diary. Although some of her descriptions are nearly archaic, many bear a strongresemblance to the happenings of today. "We moved last Saturday. Our expenses were more than wecould stand, and when the landlady came and took the lights out of our rooms, we just packed up andleft on short notice. "We do not do much cooking, but always have enough to eat. "I have just finisheda letter home. I haven't heard from there for so long that I am getting really anxious. "Amy has company this evening. She calls him a friend, but I think he is a little more to her than that. I suspect they think if I were only in Guinea or somewhere else besides here. "Today was an excursion to Sumas, round tripwith lunch for 30 cents. Of course I couldn't let a chance like that go by. "Today we took the street carout to the falls, which are quite a distance from the city. After getting off the car, it is quite a way to thecreek through the woods and such a lovely walk. There are three falls, not any of them very large, but the scenery around is quite pretty. We got together with some other Normal girls and had a picnic. My!Such crowds as go to the falls and to the lake every Sunday. And besides those attractions, there isusually a ballgame so that on going downtown you would think by the number of people on the street itwas a sale day. "Went for another bum today. I didn't even get up in time to go to church, but instead,Amy and I took our lunch and went to the lake. It was not such a lovely day, but was very nice out there. We went around where there was no one, then took off our shoes and waded in the water, but seeingsome men coming we had to hurry and put them on again. Want to be an EDITOR ?

To crown it all the wind was blowing a regular gale and the boat rocked till we could hardly keep our feet; and the harder the wind blew the gayer we got. Oh, how nice it was! "I could only wish I were going miles and miles on the water, so imagined myself bound for some foreign shoreand probably felt all the pleasure of going without feeling the pangs of separation from my country. "Thetrip was all too short. We stood watching with longing eyes the boat steam off without us. But it didn'tdampen our spirits. We turned for home with light steps. But we didn't reach home with light steps, forthey were pretty heavy by that time. "This is a beautiful day and the bay is just lovely. How I wish Icould take a ride. I can hardly stay in the house.

HUD may ban waterbeds (CPS)â€”The government, in a recent Department of HousingUrban Development advisory pamphlet, told the managers of public housing projects and other federallyassisted housing they may ban water beds because of their excessive weight. The HUD pamphletwarns that water leaking from the beds could cause property damage to floors and start electrical fires.A spokesman noted that this was not an outright ban, but merely gave local officials and landlords theright to ban their use if they felt their structures might not hold up under the stress. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 11 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, February 11, 1972 Western Front 9 Senate Election Final ACC selection today By DAN TOLVAStaff Reporter Western's senate will complete election of the A c a d e m i c Coordinating Commission(ACC) today. By Monday's senate meeting, ten of the 16 positions were filled. Faculty members already elected to the ACC are: August Radke, history; Phil Ager, music; William Harris, ethnic studies; SamPorter, technology; William Brown, technology; David Mason, Fairhaven; Hugh Fleetwood, philosophy;and Don Ferris, teacher education. Students elected to the ACC are. Joe McConkey, graduate studentin speech, and Stan Cuykendall of Huxley. Two more students and four faculty will be chosen to fill outthe ACC today. The senate directed its Committee on Councils and Committees (CCC) to preparerecommendations on a business and finance council, college relations council and college servicescouncil. Under the constitution ratified last Spring quarter, the Business and Finance Council will govern college business, finance and non-academic administration. The College Relations Council willformulate policy regarding Western's relationship to the community and state. The present publicrelations office will be absorbed by the council. The College Services Council will handle student services such as financial aids and health services. In addition, it will govern inter-varsity and intramuralathletics. In other action, the senate elected an ad-hoc committee to review and recommend changes in the constitution as events dictate. The members of the ad-hoc committee are: Larry Swift, e d u c a t io n ; Sam Kelly, education; Joyce Oiness, staff; and Earl Moore, student. The new committee wasimmediately handed a proposal by the Faculty Council to reorganize the councils under the ACC.Lummi Indian children to visit dorms Indian children are being given a chance to visit dorms and classesat Western in a program a i m e d at c o m m u n i ty involvement. Under the program sponsored byWillie Sgambelluri, a sociology major, Lummi Indian children would stay overnight with a host in a dormand attend classes with the host the next day. Although Sgambelluri can be contacted throughTutorials, he says his program is not really tutoring. The main problem with a program like this is thateveryone shows up at the first meeting but very few continue on with it, he said. "This campus a lot ofwhite knights on horses riding through the town," Sgambelluri said. "We started out last quarter witharound 25 people," he said. "It really looked good, like it was going somewhere. About three weeks intothe quarter, we just about lost everybody." Sgambelluri said he is going through the dorms because they are the only organized place on campus where students can be found. He hopes to use the dorms asa starting point to get the whole campus community involved in helping the Lummi Indian children.Sgambelluri said this program calls for total commitment because it's very hard to explain to the children when somebody shows up two or three times and then stops coming.

Cagers to host SOC, OTI Western's unbeaten cagers will try to wrap up the EvergreenConference championship this weekend, as the Viks close out their regular season home schedule withtwo games in Carver Gym. Tonight the Viks face Southern Oregon College, and tomorrow night the fast improving Oregon Technical I n s t i t u t e Owls invade Bellingham. Western will put its 19-0 record onthe line tonight against SOC. The Red Raiders have been in a slump the past few games, holding a 7-13season mark and an Evco record of 1-7. The Viks defeated Southern Oregon 83-71, in Ashland, Ore.,last month. The Raiders stayed in the contest during the first half, mainly on the strength of forwardMilan Torres. Torres, a 6-2 junior transfer from Clark Community College, showed a great one-on-onetalent against the Viks, leading the Raiders with 16 points. However, Torres played little the second helfof that game, and has been used sparingly since, for an unknown reason, which is when SOC's slumpbegan. Other Raider standouts are center Allan Graves, 6-7, and guard Marty Popp, 5-10. Graves is bigand rugged, with a fine outside touch, while Popp has a fine jumper from long range when given half achance to fire. Tomorrow, the Vikings will have their hands full wtih an OTI team which has beatenpowerful Eastern Washington, and came within three seconds of toppling Central. Against Eastern, lastweekend, the quick Owls outgunned the Savages for a 92-90 victory. OTI's Mel Farris, who led Evcoscorers last year, tallied 37 points against Eastern. A jump shot by Mike Polis at the buzzer, allowedCentral to escape with a 93-92 win. Both games were played in Klamath Falls, Ore. When Westernvisited OTI, the Viks left with a 77-63 victory. Farris had a bad shooting night, connecting on only five of22, totaling 14 points. Doug Vigneau, a 6-3 forward is averaging 17.0 points in 21 games, compared toFarris' 22.0. Vigneau also scored 14 against Western. Game time for both games will be 7:30 p.m. Intonight's preliminary, the Western junior varsity will play the freshmen from Seattle University. SPCtickets limited Tickets for Tuesday's Western-Seattle Pacific College basketball game will go on sale on a first come-first serve basis, Monday at 8 a.m. in the Men's P.E. office. The game will be played inBrougham Pavillion on the SPC campus, limiting the number of seats available. Only 50 reserved seattickets and 200 general admission tickets will be available to Western. Reserved seats will cost $2each, while general admission will cost $1 for students with ASB cards, and $1.50 for the general public. "It must be stressed," Athletic Director William Tomaras said, that these are the only tickets availableto Western fans. Once these are gone, there will be no point in going to Seattle, because there won't be any tickets left down there." An effort to switch the game to the Seattle Center Arena failed.WESTERN FRONT SPORTS Grapplers to invade Eastern Oregon If last weekend's meetings againstfifth-ranked Southern Oregon College and tenth-ranked Oregon College of Education, not to mentionWashington State University, tomorrow, were tough, tomorrow's match with seventh-ranked EasternOregon College doesn't appear much simpler. Coach" Lanny Bryant and his grapplers leave for LaGrande, Ore. at noon today with hopes o f u p s e t t i n g another n a t i o n a l l y - r a n k e d teamSaturday. Western demolished Oregon College 30-9 last Friday and came within one match victory oftoppling Southern Oregon Saturday afternoon. Earlier this season, Eastern Oregon defeated OregonCollege of Education. Two of the Oregon team's top prospects are Dave Robinson, 118, andheavyweight Greg Nelson. Robinson, a junior, took second place in the conference last year behindCentral's national champion Kanechi Kano. Robinson is undefeated this year and will be wrestlingWestern's Mike Donnelly, also unbeaten in conference action. Donnelly sports a 9-0 record. Nelson, asenior, is considered one of the best heavyweights in the conference. Western's Jeff Michaelson, alsounbeaten in conference action with a 8-0-1 mark, draws the assignment of facing him. Last year at theconference championships, Lee Andersen beat Eastern Oregon's Steve Delashmatt for the right tocontinue in post season action. Andersen went on to place fourth nationally in the 158 class for smallcolleges. Delashmatt stayed home. Andersen is unbeaten in conference action with a 9-0 mark.Western has been unranked so far this year, but Coach Bryant thinks his team has a good shot at being rated in the top ten when the next NAIA poll comes out in a couple of .weeks. To support his belief,Western dumped OCE rated tenth, narrowly lost to SOC, rated fifth, lost by ten points to third-ratedCentral as well as losing to wrestling teams from Seattle Pacific, Washington State, and a mixedvarsity-junior varsity team from the University of Washington.

With the recent hullabaloo concerning the Cleveland Indians, theAtlanta Braves and the American Indians, it seems to have become necessary to take a hard look at our traditions and reassess our priorities. To freshen the memories of those still boggled by Western'sbasketball team's 19-0 record, the Cleveland Indians and the Atlanta Braves are baseball teams. TheAmerican Indians are not a baseball team, but would like the other two to change the names of theirs, onthe grounds that they were here first and had the original idea and all. Anyway, following a current trendin which more and more sporting events are taking place in courts of law rather than on fields of play, thejudicial processes of the land will try to decide whether or not Henry Aaron will be a Brave of somethingelse this season. But the whole hassle has started a horrible trend which may soon strike Western rightat its blue and white heart. In fact, Dr. Jack Jock, director of intercollegiate nicknames at Western hasalready made a start in the direction of changing Western's nickname if the need ever arises. In anexclusive interview with this reporter, Dr. Jock revealed his plans and ideas. "You see," Dr. Jock said,"with this problem beginning with the baseball teams, there's no telling how long before it could be at ourvery doorstep. You never know when some irate Leif Erickson followers will storm the campus demandingwe quit using the name 'Vikings' because it is derogatory to their image." "But I thought we used Vikingsto denote courage, strength and determination to achieve one's goals," I surmized cleverly, not wishing to show the good doctor complete ignorance. "How could they possibly be offended at that?" "I don'tknow," Dr. Jock answered, "but when a fad gets started, it's difficult to either stop or even comprehendthem." "In case of such an event, sir," I said, trying to hold up my end of the conversation, "have yougiven any thought to a possible replacement to the present mascot?" "Yes," Dr. J responded, "but it'sbeen very hard to come up with one which wouldn't offend anybody. We know we can't go with anyreference to an ethnic group, and that cuts down the field quite a bit. It eliminates such old time favoritesas Warriors, Knickerbockers, Cowboys, Celtics, Yankees and the like. "We thought about turning toanimal names, but the National Conservation Society threatened to make matters difficult. They seem tothink that mascots like Wildcats, Lions, Tigers and Bears are cruel and inhumane treatment toinhabitants of Mother Nature's domain." Seeing Dr. Jock in a state of desperation over finding areplacement for a name that might ever be in jeopardy, I tossed in some unsolicited suggestions. "Well,since the school is located in Bellingham, why not try to come up with something that would depict that?It would probably make the natives proud, once they realized the school was here, of course. Whatnickname could we use to show the proud aspects of good ol' Bellingham?" After twenty minutes ofsilence, Dr. Jock and I gave up and tried to direct our energies in a new direction. One by one the ideascame and went. It seemed every possibility had the potential to send somebody to the courts cryingracism or something. Patriots was dropped for fear of the SDS. Phantoms was no good, since peoplemight try to make a connection with the KKK. Angels or Saints were suggested, but somebody stuck hishead in the door and said that would be blasphemous and that the Pope's latest edict on the state ofnames said that would cause eternal damnation. So we mentioned the possibility of something likeDevils and the intruder promptly fainted. It seemed we were going nowhere until I make one last attemptto be ready for the post-Viking period. "Look," I said, "who's going to have to be the people who areknown by this name? Who are the clowns with the jerseys going to be who have this epitaph scribbledacross their chest?" "Why, the athletes of course," Dr. J said quite bewildered. "Those fine young menwho represent this institution on the field of athletic competition." "Right!" I said, hardly able to containmyself. "So why not give them the name that everyone has been calling them by for years? Let's use thenickname 'Dumb Jocks!' " "How about 'Fighting Jocks,' " I said, grasping for straws. Dr. Jock was still in a state of confusion when I left his office. He was mumbling strange incoherencies. As I reached the end of the hall, I heard a loud scream of anguish, "Leif, it was all meant with good intentions!" Whew! Vikcomeback nips Saints Proving that you don't gain 19-0 records by lying back and giving up when you'redown, Western's basketball team put on a thrilling comeback to defeat St. Martin's College 78-75Monday in Lacey. The Vikings trailed the super-psyched Saints by 11, 56-45, with 10 minutes to go inthe game, the farthest they have been behind all year. Gary White and Rudy Thomas led the Viks'furious comeback charge to win what Western coach Chuck Randall called their toughest game thisyear. With the Vikings down by 10, White threw in 12 of the next 18 Western points to give the Big Blue a four-point lead. A Thomas jumper made the margin six at 70-64, before St. Martin's could recover from the sudden onslaught. Western began the game as if they would win it fairly easily, breaking to a 9-2lead. However, St. Martin's Arvie Johnson then came alive to bring the Saints back into the contest.VIKINGS 78, SAINTS 75 Western Bradley Franza (g) Fuson (f) Kohr , Nicol Preston Thomas (c)White (f) Totals St. Martins Dicus (f) Edisvold (g) Ferratto (g) Gerber Johnson (c) Kemp (f) MoxleyOwens Sheppard Totals fg 3-4 6-14 3-5 1-1 0-1 0-1 10-15 8-15 19-56 fg 0-8 4-12 1-2 1-2 12-17 4-10 4-12 0-0 0-0 26-63 ft 0-0 5-5 7-10 0-0 0-0 1-2 2-3 4-6 26-29 ft 0-1 11-13 0-1 1-1 6-9 2-2 3-3 0-0 0-0 23-29 reb pf tp 4 4 6 4 17 3 9 0 2 2 O 0 1 2 22 4 21 41 19 78 reb pf tp 4 5 0 4 19 02 2 3 2 30 4 10 4 11 0 0 0 0 6 13 1 0 0 12 5 5 0 2 19 12 2 0 0 44 21 75 FG pet.: Western51.8, St. Martin's 41 .2.

The Saints were never behind the rest of the first half, leavingthe court with 44-40 advantage. Johnson had 18 of his points in the first period. Western had a 15 to 14field goal edge in the first half, but St. Martin's was 16 for 17 from the free-throw line, while the Viks were 10 for 12. In the second half, St. Martin's kept spreading the margin, mainly on the inside shooting ofJohnson. After running up their big lead, the Saints forced Western to take a time out. It was here thatWhite began his sharp-shooting that slowly brought Western back into the game.

Undergraduate enrollment in such fields as pre-medicine, pre-law, psychology,journalism, social work and nursing have risen notably this fall, according to a recent CarnegieCommission on Higher Education study. Generally, the current economic condition is reflectedadditionally in the shift away from enrollment in such areas as engineering, education and physics.There recently has been a sharp drop in employment opportunities in these fields. The Carnegie studyshows that the number of new students entering biology this fall was up by 16 per cent over last year'snumber in a survey of 357 institutions. There is still a shortage of trained medical personnel and medical schools report a dramatic rise in applications. At Harvard, the number of biology majors rose 30 percent over last year. And enrollment in organic chemistry, a prerequisite for medical school, has doubledin two years. On the other hand, enrollment in subjects severely affected by the economic s l o w d o wn has dropped drastically. For example, enrollment in aeronautical engineering at the MassachusettsInstitute of Technology has dipped from 687 students in 1969 to 385 this year. At the same time therehas been an increase in enrollment in Oriental language courses despite the overall shift away fromforeign language studies. Stanford University reports that over the past two years the number of students enrolled in Chinese and Japanese language courses has increased by 25 per cent. J o u r n a l i s mand communication arts are among the most rapidly growing areas of study even when the newsM*A*S*H Sunday By JAY ECKERT Staff Reporter Probably the best bargain in films this weekend isM*A*S*H Sunday night at 6:30 and 9 p.m. in the Music Auditorium.

"The Hour of the Furnaces" an examination of British and American neocolonialism, will beshown in Lecture Hall 4 tonight at 7 and 9:15. Admission is 75 cents for Western students, $1.25 forgeneral admission. The first of a three-part film essay, the Argentine production is a powerful cinematicexercise. F o r those who can condescend to watching "art films" on television, Channel 9 will carry theuncut version of "The Seven Samurai" tonight at 8:30. An edited version was shown on campus lastquarter as part of the Art Film series. The 1954 Japanese movie was directed by Akira Kurosawa. Thecast includes Toshiro Mifune. The movie is in Japanese with English subtitles. Kurosawa's control ofcinematic technique and sense of movement have earned him recognition as one of the world's foremostdirectors. "The Seven Samurai," were members of the military class of feudal Japan, hired by a villagefor protection from bandits. Two Wall Disney movies, "Song of the South" and "The Wild Country," arecurrently showing at the Mt. Baker Theatre. "Carnal Knowledge," Mike Nichol's grim satire ofdepersonalization and the use of people as sex objects, is now playing at the Grand Theatre. "CarnalKnowledge" was written by Jules Feiffer and stars J a c k Nicholson, Arthur Garfunkel, Candice Bergenand Ann-Margret. Also at the Grand is "Rider on the Rain," Rene Clement's thriller starring MarleneJobert as a woman tangled up in her life. "Sometimes a Great Notion," the film of the Ken Kesey novel, is showing at Viking I. The movie stars Paul Newman, Henry Fonda, Lee Remick and Michael Sarrazin. Showing at Viking-II is "The Go-Between" which won the grand prize at the Cannes Film Festival thisyear. "The Go-Between" is a 12-year-old boy forced to carry messages between the heiress of anEnglish estate and the tenant farmer she loves. The movie provides a dismal yet accurate view of theEnglish class system at the turn of the century. "The Go-Between" stars Julie Christie, Alan Bates and Margaret Leighton. Harold Pinter based his script on the novel by L. P. Hartley. "Harvey" now playing at B'ham Theater Guild An invisible rabbit and an eccentric young man are the main characters in theBellingham Theater Guild's production of "Harvey". Billed as a "delightful three-act comedy", the playdeals with Elwood P. Dowd's friendship with an invisible rabbit, Harvey. His association with the rabbitcauses the family a great deal of distress and a comic situation develops when they try to remedy it byhaving Elwood committed to a mental hospital. Elwood is played by George Garrigues, a lecturer in the journalism department, and his mother is portrayed by Dianne Gregory. Forrest Goldade directs thecomedy. Performances are tonight, tomorrow and Feb. 17-19 at 8:15 p.m. at the Bellingham TheaterGuild, H and Dupont streets.

Other areas now enjoying an increased popularity, according to the Carnegiestudy, are ecology, urban studies, city planning, agriculture and theology. However, ethnic studies,which became popular two years ago, experienced a 12.1 per cent decline according to the Carnegiereport. Old Main's fire was very real Four Bellingham fire units responded to an alarm at Old MainTuesday night. Unlike previous alarms that have been sent in from campus recently, the Tuesday alarmwas real. A crew quickly extinguished the blazing trash can and returned to its quarters. Monday is the last day to withdraw from class. That leaves only today and Monday to visit the Registrar's Office, OldMain 133, and drop whatever courses you don't expect to complete.

Theassessment was based on the results of a recent telephone survey of registration officials in 102 citiesand counties representing 35 states. Carroll Ladt, executive director of the Youth Citizenship Fund, a bi-partisan clearing house for the youth r e g i s t r a t i o n movement, predicted recently that at least 60per cent of the newly enfranchised voters will be registered in time for the general elections in November. About 68 per cent of the total eligible voting population registered for the 1968 elections. Theregistration of 60 per cent of the 18-20 year-olds would add seven million new voters for the presidentialelection. Another 14 million first-time presidential Voters who have turned 21 since 1968 also will beadded. The youth registration was above 50 per cent in several locales, including New York City,Philadelphia, Pa., and Houston, Texas. A l l e g h e n y C o u n ty (Pittsburgh), according to the survey, has the highest percentage of registered young voters with 66.9 per cent. Durham, North Carolina, hasthe smallest youth registration at 6.7 per cent. The surveyors contacted registrars in 213 cities andcounties but only 102 of them had records of the 18-to-20 year-olds registered. The 102 reportingcovered 35 states.

Gerald Brock, committee chairman, explained that the lot was approved because of theneed for parking close to campus. On Thursday of last week, the Campus Environmental Committeewent on record as opposing the proposed parking lot. The committee suggested using the mobile homessite and lot 21-D as alternatives to the new lot, but according to Brock, lot 21-D is not being used bystudents because of its distance from campus. The Environmental Committee brought out a number ofreasons for opposing the proposed lot at their meeting, included were: â€”ruining of the aesthetic value ofthe wooded area in question. â€”geological problems with construction and maintenance of the lot.â€”the fact that the lot probably would only be temporary due to possible dorm construction within thenext five years. â€”possible ice and snow removalproblems on the access ramp. â€”an increase in noise.,v gt; â€”increased traffic friction in alUarea where a great amount of money has already been spent todecrease it. Discussion by the Environmental Committee also brought out the need for more visitorparking closer to campus and the need for signs directing visitors to parking lots and other areas of thecampus. College President Charles Flora will make the final decision on the lot after hearingrecommendations from both the Campus Environmental Committee and the Parking Committee. First All-College Senate meets tomorrow By BOB BURNETT The All-College Senate will hold its first meeting at 5 p.m. tomorrow in Lecture Hall 3, but it may take up to 10 months for the Senate to become a fullyoperative, effectively functioning governing body. College President Charles J. Flora is expected toaddress the new Senate in tomorrow's open meeting. He is expected to charge the Senate with itsresponsibilities and to ask the Senate to conduct its business slowly and deliberately in order for each ofthe yet-to-be-staffed councils and commissions to work properly. The 43-member body is faced with along list of housekeeping and organizational matters before it can begin to consider any hard business.The Senate is expected to elect a chairman and a secretary from its members and to set the proceduresfor appointing members to each of the constituency bodies. According to Mike Barnhart, Flora'sadministrative assistant, it may take until "the beginning or middle of spring quarter, or certainly by thebeginning of the next academic year" before the duties of the existing governments in each of the fourcollege areas are taken over by the Senate. Barnhart said it was extremely important that thegovernments for classified staff, administration, faculty and students, continue to function until the Senate could iron out any new "bugaboos." "It depends on how much they are going to deliberate over itemsthat come from committees," he said. "I don't mean that they should be a rubber stamp, but theyshouldn't have to deliberate for two hours on one item." He said that any item requiring more than anhour's deliberation should be sent back to committee for further consideration. Barnhart cautioned thatthe Senate could get bogged down if there was "too much politicking." He said senators should notconsider themselves as faculty, staff, administration or students, but as members of a homogenouscollege community.

Professor proposes abolition of grades at the College of Ethnic Studies "The present grading system serves no useful purpose and i n h i b i t s learning,"Wilfred Wasson, director of Indian studies at the College of Ethnic Studies (CES), said. In adocumented report which he presented to CES he If it hadn't been for the water, we'd have been justanother pretty face. We found this old tray in the attic the other day. It's one of those things that makeyou wonder how you ever managed to get where you are. We have to give full credit to our water: thenaturally-perfect brewing water of Tumwater, Washington.

OlympiaBrewing Company,Tumwater,Wash. 8 to 4:30 every day. *01y *Â® mum proposed the abolition ofgrades. Many teachers believe students have no desire to learn and so will not work unless rewardedwith good grades or threatened with bad grades, Wasson wrote. History shows otherwise., he said.Schools have been graduating students for several thousand years, but grading came into existence only 60 years ago when general education became available to the masses. Though many private schoolsdo not grade their students, the students seem to learn as well as students in public schools, he said.The negative aspects of grading destroy the learning s i t u a t i o n , Wasson wrote. Students learn what the teacher considers important and hesitate to explore other areas, thereby jeopardizing their grades'.Grades promote competition instead of cooperation, creating an atmosphere of tension and jealousy.Because of the importance placed on grades, many students resort to cheating to attain good marks.Wasson quoted a survey showing that 50 to 80 per cent of college students admitted to having cheatedto get better gradesr "A student has to be goal-oriented," he said. "The grading system sets up falsegoals for education, goals that are set by the.school." Students, to maintain a sufficient gpa to remainin school, will choose easy courses or easy-grading teachers rather than taking the courses that reallyinterest them. In addition, students are channeled toward the goals of the teacher instead of beingallowed to develop their own interests. Grades are the only criteria for getting through college andbecoming credentialed, but there is no relation between grades and the ability to perform effectively aftergraduation, Wasson wrote. To solve these problems, Wasson proposes that the College of EthnicStudies certify competence in various areas of study instead of-giving grades in every class. Studentswould demonstrate competence by written or oral examinations or by some other suitable means."Instead of being tested on knowing certain facts, the student would be tested on how-he can use theknowledge he's gained," Wasson said. Students, together with their advisors, would determine thecourses to be taken and the work to be done for their areas of study. Students could attemptdemonstrations of competence at any time they felt confident of success. There would be no â€¢penalty if they did not succeed. ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 16 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, November 16, 1971 Western Front 3 'Buck-passing' charged in search efforts By MICKEYHULL Western's Lakewood Manager, Rich Zehnder, blasted both the Whatcom County Sheriff'sDepartment and Western's Safety and Security Department last week for what he called "buck passing"in the search for two missing students. Since their disappearance early last week, there has been notrace of 18-year-old Fairhaven student Danny L. Vaara and 20-year-old Western student CathyKristopherson. Only a swamped canoe, containing two jackets, a tennis shoe, a ring of keys and Vaara's wallet have been discovered, along with the boat paddles and a mysterious message in a bottle.Zehnder said that, though the search is continuing, the bulk of the work is being handled by a volunteerstudent force instead of the Sheriff or Campus Security Department because "neither one wants theresponsibility." Originally Chuck Page, a campus security officer, was sent out to direct the volunteerstudent force but R. G. Peterson, safety and security director, "pulled him off because he said it wasn'ttheir concern," Zehnder said. The Sheriff's Department received the brunt of Zehnder's blast because of"the small amount of time and men they've put into the search operations." "The only time the Sheriff put a lot into the operation was when KING Television from Seattle was in the area filming the search story,"Zehnder said. Sheriff Bernie Reynolds said that the search was and still is his department's job butweather conditions would not permit a more involved search operation. Reynolds added that when theweather clears, he will send out another crew with skin divers and added that he thought the searchoperation by his office, headed up by Sgt. Phil Seldomridge, was sufficient to do the task. Peterson said that rumors have been running rampant as to what actually did happen to the two and Lakewoodcaretaker Mike Collins, who knew Vaara, said "things just don't point up to their drowning." From thesecurity office, Page said that his department is not taking the position that it was a hoax and addedthat during the time he was not working Zehnder and Collins said that the authorities are not checking allthe leads on the case and they would like to get a professional on the search. Reynolds said that hismen are following all possible leads including checks on all abandoned cabins in the area. All UnitedStates and Canadian ports-of-entry are being watched. Both Lakewood men adamantly claim that allleads are not being followed and cited a beer bottle with a note inside as one of those leads. Collins saida shore party had discovered the bottle along the beach in the same area that the boat had beenrecovered. The bottle was marked "Open immediately - Important" and had a message inside, Collinssaid. Page said that the message was printed and misspelled and to the best of his recollection said, "Ilike you all, yours in kindness." Page claimed that the note has been sent out of the area for a hand-writing analysis while Zehnder and Collins claim that it hadn't been sent as of late last Friday afternoon,four days after its discovery. directly with the search, he was checkingmmm^mmmmm^^^m^^^mm^mmm^mMmi^^^m^^^^ all other leads on and around campus |f |*^ â€¢ ^Ji ^^â€¢_ A. ^ ll within his jurisdiction. gg Racism Workshop termed success by sponsors By BOBMcLAUCHLAN The Racisga Workshop held last week was termed a success by workshop sponsors.People listened, learned and went away thinking about minority races involvement today, Bernie Thomas, a workshop sponsor, believes. Although there was not an extremely large turnout for all the speakers,"the most interesting part was that each speaker" had a different audience," he said. "On the whole,community involvement turned out well." He believed that ending the workshop on a cultural note with the Northwest Intertribal Dance Group was very effective. The colorfully costumed The Northwest IntertribalDance Group performed in full costume during the Racism Workshop held last Friday. 4,000 signaturesgroup played drums, chanted and danced four hours last Friday night in the Viking Union lounge. Thefollowing are a few quotes from some of the speakers in the latter part of the workshop. FARMWORKERS ORGANIZING Lupe Gamboa from the United Farm Workers Union in Seattle said that in theYakima Valley in eastern Washington whole families of Chicanos work the fields from daybreak to dusk,seven days a week for about $2,300 a year. "They must do this to stay alive," he stressed. Farmworkers have no unemployment compensation, very few rights, low pay, poor educational facilities anduntil recently no industrial insurance, he pointed out. Gamboa who is trying to organize the workers, said that it is difficult to organize them because they move from farm to farm and because farm owners willnot let people talk to the workers. WESTERN TERMED RACIST INSTITUTE A charge that Western is aracist institution with an unresponsive faculty, brought about a heated discussion during Jim Forsman'stalk. Forsman, a former Western student and Suquamish Indian now attending Evergreen State College,said that Western was "nothing but bullshit." "I see the racism here. If you do not see it man, you areblind," he said. Of the 35 Indian students at Western last year, he said that 22 had dropped out or hadgone to different schools. He said that the faculty at Evergreen is available and eager to talk to students,not against them as at Western. ABOLISHMENT OF PRISON SYSTEM FAVORED The present prisonsystem should be abolished and prisoner rehabilitation should be in the community and not in prison was the opinion expressed by a three member panel. Langston Tabor who is the highest ranking Black inthe Washington State penal system said that "three fourths of the prisoners released this year will beback in prison." "You cannot correct the institution," he said. "The reform has to take place in thecommunity." Tabor believes that there should be a maximum of three years in prison for all crimes withthe rest of the sentence to be carried out in community work. WashPIRG petition drive approaches halfway mark Students seem to be responding to the Washington Public Interest Research Group(WashPIRG) petition drive as over4,000students turned in petition cards to the associated students office as of noon yesterday. Larry Diamond, WashPIRG's campus organizer, urges students to turn in petitioncards to the AS office in the VU as soon as possible. Mike Fairshter, publicity chairman, said that theyare starting a more methodical approach in talking with students about WashPIRG. Thus far, WashPIRGofficials have been giving 5 to 10 minute talks to students in lecture hall classes and small groupclasses. They have talked to about 50 of the 110 classes on campus, Fairshter said. In most of theclasses 52 to 95 per cent of the students are signing petitions and in some cases 100 per cent of a class signed. Fairshter pointed out that the faculty have been very cooperative in letting WashPIRG officialsspeak to their classes. as Big Mama Thornton entertains Thursday Big Mama Thornton, Queen of theBlues, will sing in the Music Auditorium this Thursday starting at 8 p.m. She will be backed up by herfive-piece blues band. Also performing will be George "Harmonica" Smith. Big Mama began singing whenshe was 13 years old but her career was going along slowly until the advent of rock and roll in the earlyfifties. The new form of music, which borrowed heavily from blues and gospel singing, opened up thepublic to the kind of music Big Mama was singing. Tickets to see this big woman are $2 in advance and$2.50 at the door, if any are available. M Program Commissioner gives concert warning If there is anysmoking, drinking, or dope smoking at the Big Mama Thorton concert Thursday, the concert will bestopped and the audience shown out the door, Lynn Wienholtz, Program Commissioner, said lastTuesday. Wienholtz explained that the ventilation system under the seats in the auditorium can suckcigarette butts down into the basement fallout shelter, igniting cardboard boxes down there. Wienholtzsaid that frequent unenforced demands by concert managers that there be no drinking or smoking haveproduced an student attitude that "warnings are bullshit." But she warned that future bans "will be strictlyenforced." "The closures won't hurt anyone except the students there," Wienholtz said. The groups andthe Program Commission keeps its money whether the concert is closed down or not. She called theMusic Auditorium a "fire trap." Previous concerts in Carver Gym have ended with cigarette burns andbroken glass strewn across the floor, calling for extensive repairs. Problems with smoking and drinking in other colleges have resulted in an end to festival type seating on the floor or expensive rubber or woodcoverings for gym floors. The Program Commission plans a "super big" concert and two or three smallerones a quarter. Their budget this year was trimmed by $29,000 Wienholtz said, leaving them with only$9,000. They have already lost $1,000 on the first concert. The money is funded to make up any losseswhen groups are brought to Western. Wienholtz explained that Western couldn't book the biggest namegroups because they cost too much money. With a $3 charge a fully packed Carver Gym would only bring in $12,000. Sanatana or the Moody Blues ask a minimum of $20,000 plus a percentage of the door,according to John Morrison of the Washington State University Performing Arts Committee. TheCarpenters, Chicago or the Who want at least $15,000 plus a percentage of the door. So, Western takeswhat it can afford, which usually means minor groups stopping by for a night between concerts inVancouver or Seattle. As it is, unless Western gets richer or the top groups get poorer, the biggestnames in music will probably not appear at Western. Late run-off returns yield newest senator ThomasJasnosz, of the technology department, has won over Mrs. Evelyn Kest, home economics, in yesterday'stie-breaking run-off election for the third Fine and Applied Arts faculty position on the All-College Senate,it was reported late yesterday afternoon. Jasnosz and Mrs. Kest had tied for the position which represents the departments of home economics, art, music and technology. Jerome Glass, music, and ThomasSchlotterback, art, had been elected to the first two positions. In academic area absentee ballot results,Connie Faulkner was elected to the Fairhaven position, and Brian Copenhaver, general studies, andPhillip Montague, philosophy were elected to the remaining Social Sciences positions. Willard Brown,physics; George Gerhold, chemistry; and Ada Swineford, geology, were elected to the Science-Mathematics positions. Other senators omitted from the previous Front article were: Tim Douglas,administration, and Joe McConkey, graduate students. ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 16 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, November 16, 1971 Front Editorials... 'To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted' on the home front with store Johnston It's just the Slumps Parking lot problem Though theParking Committee has decided a parking lot should go into the wooded and swampy area below and tothe south of the Ridgeway dorms, the Campus E n v i r o n m e n t a l Committee has recommendedthat one shouldn't be built /there. Now the question is in President Charles Flora's lap. A member of theCampus Environmental Committee, Campus Architect Bob Aegerter, has said he is not sure whathappens when one committee favors action and another doesn't. But it should be obvious that if acommittee that has been established to assess the environmental side of changes at Western is againstan action, that committee should be listened to. There are alternatives to the $15,000 proposal of theParking Committee. Maybe the committee, rather than letting student parking fees burn a hole in itspocket, should tackle the problem of visitor parking from a different angle. If the area now proposed as aparking lot is covered with asphalt, the surrounding stand of tall evergreens would suffer. If a parking lotis dropped into the center of the trees, the whole area will lose its value. The beauty and quiety of theforested hillside would be lost as cars pile in and out of the lot. The parking lot may solve some of theproblems facing the Parking Committee, but it will be a permanent blight on the land. â€”Ron GrahamFinals crush worsened? Finals week has always been a hectic and mind-bruising period for collegestudents. It may be even more so this year, due partly to a lack of cooperation by faculty members. Ithas been said by some that instructors are deliberately planning finals that fall on the last days of thequarter in order to get support for a change back to the finals schedule. That is likely untrue, but thereapparently are many faculty members who plan to give final tests the last two days of class. That is veryunfortunate for the students who may be taking two to four finals during the last two days. Certainlyfaculty should consider holding finals a few days earlier and then continuing lectures or discussion thelast few days. There will be no real problem with finals if the faculty cooperates. Ask your professor tomove up a final if you have too many. And instructors, give some relief to the students. â€” Ron Graham WESTERN FRONT STAFF Last Monday afternoon a freshman in a Geology 101 class was asked if heknew what a rock was. "A Roc is a legendary bird which feeds elephants to its young," he said with aninsane giggle. He was showing the first signs of the Slumps. Then on Tuesday, a political science majorpicked up his mid-term exam, walked up to his teacher and after carefully folding the exam into a square, he stuffed it into the teacher's mouth. While he was doing the stuffing, he told the teacher, "I have beengoing to college for almost four years and without a doubt these questions are the most assinine I haveever encountered." Then he walked out of the classroom. This student was showing advanced signs ofthe Slumps. The Slumps. How else can you describe the feeling that comes over students about thistime of the quarter? Suddenly students look over what they have learned in the past few weeks, throwback their heads and scream, "Oh crap!" It's the Slumps setting in. Coffee shops around campus start to fill up early in the morning and the same students are still sitting there in the evening, just staring at their coffee cups, muttering, "Why am I here?" Of course, there is a marked decrease in the number ofstudents showing up for classes. The ones that do show up are downright surly, interrupting the teacherby saying such things as, "Oh far out" and "Right on" in a cynical tone of voice. For some reason,animals can detect when a bad case of the Slumps are about to set in. The dog population aroundcampus is now about nil, for they know to hang around means to be chased down the street by somemouth-foaming student. Students with acute cases of the Slumps take them home with them. Some beat up their roommates just to feel better or do just plain nasty things to their friends: "Say, Howie, is thisthe birthday cake your mother sent you? Good, 'cause I'm gonna step on it. I got the Slumps you know."It is these attempts of students trying to ease their Slumps that account for all sorts of abnormal behavior. One teacher reported his entire class broke into a rousing chorus of "Mickey Mouse" one day for noapparent reason while he was lecturing on his summer trip to Europe. Another teacher became hystericalafter a student flicked a piece of chalk out of his hand with a 20-foot bullwhip while riding a horse throughthe classroom. Even stranger things have been reported outside of classrooms, like the student whocame close to committing treason by refusing to pay a library fine of $34.90 for a $3 book and then hadthe cheek to ask for help in finding another book. And there is an unconfirmed report of student telling his advisor to stuff it after he saw what classes he was supposed to sign up for. Still, the ones who areaffected the worse by the Slumps are seniors, especially the seniors in their last quarter. They go through various stages; first starting with a happy feeling about graduating, then mild paranoia as they think alltheir teachers are trying to flunk them, and then finally the Slumps when they realize they couldn't careless if they flunked or not. For seniors, the Slumps hits its high point just after senior evaluation andfollow them on through job hunting to graduation. Pieces of conversation picked up from passing seniorscan tell the story of their Slumps: "I don't know what's gonna on. I went up for my evaluation and foundout I had to take General Ed. So what the hell is General Ed? They're out to get me, I just know it. I gotfour deficiency slips and I'm only taking three classes Last month I sent out 50 resumes and the onlyreply I got so far is as a watch dog in a salt mine." As far as a cure for the seniors, that's easy-they justgraduate and then get a case of the Civilian Slumps (which, by the way, lasts a lifetime), but for the restleft at school there is no cure. But maybe if the school could build some rubber rooms where studentscould go and just bounce off the walls for a couple of hours a day to let off the tension or maybe giveeverybody 20-foot bullwhips and let them go after teachers or maybe just let school out for the middleweek of the quarter or whenever students were feeling bad . . . .

Mr. Keller's comments reveal an abysmal lack of knowledge about the project and cast serious questions on some of his own motivations. Mr. Keller implies thatthe protestors waited until the last minute to engage in emotion laden, flamboyant grandstand plays.This kind of emotion laden, flamboyant grandstand letter writing, while unbecoming to an educator, isalso inaccurate. The Alaskan natives and many environmental groups had been working for some timethrough the courts to stop this unnecessary test and the protestors became active only after thePresident had given his approval of the . test on Wednesday, Oct. 27, 1971. It is rather difficult to protest against something until you know that it is going to happen. Mr. Keller disapproves of band wagonjumpers. I see nothing wrong with jumping on someone else's band wagon if it is going my way, but it isevident that Mr. Keller is not going to play anyone's game unless he can be the leader. If environmentalissues are nothing more than an ego trip to Mr. Keller, I will still back him if he gets something done;however, I wish he would not unfairly condemn those issues which did not originate with him. Wilfred C.Wasson College of Ethnic Studies Editor: Concerning Keller's remarks Admittedly, the organization ofAmchitka protest and boycott was weeks late. It should be noted that people don't call Mr. Nixon TrickyDick for nothing. The news media was laden with reasons why the Amchitka blast would not take place, which had the effect of placating the fears, and stifling positive political action by the group. Nixon'sdecision to detonate the national phallic symbol came a few days after the United Nations' vote whichseated Red China. Consequently, the College of Ethnic Studies (CES) responded to and initiated theiractions concerning Amchitka on very short notice. The issues raised by CES were not, in fact,emotional, doomsday rhetoric. The fact is that CES was responding primarily to the racism issue; i.e.,the blatant disregard for the lives and property of Eskimos, Aleuts and Indians who inhabit the AleutianChain. We all realized, and this was discussed before any action whatsoever was taken, that due to the time element involved our efforts in trying to organize the boycott would probably prove futile. Maybe theold adage is appropriate, "to achieve the impossible, you must attempt the absurd." The basic aim ofthe protest was the class boycott. Only a minimal number of students participated in it, even afterassurance from President Flora that no academic repercussions would result. What do students reallyhave to lose, anyway? As far as I'm concerned, life is more sacred than any academic exercise. Isuspect this is what a very small number of students (especially Ken La Fontaine) who worked their guts out for this thing, also believed. So you're correct in one regard, Mr. Keller. We failed miserably. We'llprobably fail a little less miserably next time, and the time after that and the time after that. But thesefailures are not useless, because as enough people feel that they are being pushed into a corner, andthe only way they can escape is to take action (and go beyond rhetoric), the futile attempts of yesterday become worthwhile. I was really surprised by your name-calling tactics, Mr. Keller. Especially because you discredit the organizers of the boycott as being over-emotional. They may have been a bit irritatedby your remarks, but I'm sure that they Wash PIRG petition Editor: I did not get involved (I admit to myshame) in WashPIRG or its decision making. I thought the petition would be changed without me. â€¢Itwasn't. Now there is only one thing left for me to do: write this! When this petition goes through,everybody will be forced to pay $1 a quarter to WashPIRG. If they cannot in conscience supportWashPIRG, then they are forced to actively announce this by identifying themselves to WashPIRG fortheir full refund. Otherwise they must finance an organization they do not support. A person might say:"At last people are being forced to express their opinions!" But is force compatible with the basicthemes of our generation? Our generation was the one, some of you might remember, which opposedthe use of force in Vietnam on principles and ideals. Because of our belief in these ideals, we "gotinvolved" in the campaigns of 1968. We influenced policy and our era. Now WashPIRG, in the guise of"getting us involved" in a worthy cause, is making us at Western subscribe to the principle of using force upon dissenters to identify themselves. I don't believe that they are doing this intentionally, but we, andthey, must realize that this is what they are doing nevertheless. I also doubt that the information forced'from dissenters will ever be used against them by WashPIRG. My point is, such information (even ifonly a person's identity) should never have been extracted by force in the first place. WashPIRG hadmade this necessary by the content of this petition. We are only one college and the money involved isonly $ 1 a person. But it is the principle that they want to make WWSC subscribe to that is important.WashPIRG's aims are most worthwhile. I have little doubt that this petition will pass. As the petition isnow worded, WashPIRG will undoubtedly get a little more money than it would by otherwise takingmoney only from those who support it and allowing the rest to remain anonymous. It has bought moneywith its ideals-a very precious resource to barter away. Jack LeMoine, Jr. Freshman really can't takeyou seriously. I can't. I would submit this: that I regard your statements to be dangerous in that theytend to suggest a positive reinforcement for people who didn't act in this boycott, and this might possibly cause them to hesitate and not commit themselves when the next crisis occurs.

The proposal was designed by a student-faculty task force under the premise that, except forteacher training, students at Western do not have the opportunity to complement their in-class learningwith outside work experience. The task force felt that certain setting, social groupings and work practices that cannot be duplicated on campus could be provided through the cooperative program. As outlined inthe proposal, employers and supervisors would constitute a field faculty. According to Stan Cuykendall,one of the program's designers, they would help the student gain skills and practical experience.Enrollment in the program would being within an academic department, with interested students having afaculty member of that department sponsor his internship.^ Student and advisor would then define thekind of practical learning experience suitable to the student's background, interest and goals. Then theywould contact the program's co-ordinating office where a referral list of participating agencies andbusinesses would be available. Under the proposal, grading and credit for the experience would be at thediscretion of the academic department. The proposal favors a contract basis as the clearest agreementbetween the student and his faculty advisor. The task force felt that, while the faculty sponsor wouldcontrol evaluation of the discipline-related aspects, the teaching role essentially would be in the hands ofthe employer. The campus coordinator would handle all paperwork and field supervision as related toregular attendance and evaluation of the program itself. Under the proposed contract grading system, the hours of credit and grade earned would be contingent upon fulfillment of certain components by thestudent. Among these components would be regular attendance, satisfactory performance as anemployee, a paper on a related topic as agreed upon by student and advisor and a research project asagreed upon by student and employer. Students circulate faculty salary petition A petition for studentsupport in raising faculty salaries has been circulating around campus. This petition states that becauseof low faculty salaries in Washington State, Western will continue to lose quality faculty to otherinstitutions in the country if salaries are not raised. President Charles Flora recently told the statelegislature's Joint Committee on Higher Education that faculty members at Western earn $1,650 less peryear than their community college counterparts. AS' President Tod Sundquist told the Western Front thatpetition sponsors hope to collect 5,000 signatures to encourage the state legislature to examine the need for raising faculty salaries at Western and other four-year institutions in Washington. Sundquist urgedanyone interested in helping with the petition to contact the Associated Students office in the VikingUnion.

Front \7 First non-league win Viks pound Whitworth Refusing tolet up after winning the conference title, Western's football Vikings continued their celebration rampageSaturday, by rolling past Whitworth, 41-21 in Spokane. The Viks piled up a 41-7 lead after threequarters, when the Pirates took advantage of Western penalties and mistakes to score their final twotouchdowns. The victory gave coach Boyde Long's Blue bombers a 7-2 record for the year, after goingthrough the Evergreen Conference with a perfect 6-0 slate. Only one more game The Sporting WordPasadena? ...why not?! By KENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Somewhere along the line, Westernmissed a golden opportunity. Not that it was even offered to them, but this would have been the ideal year for the Vikings to leave the Evergreen Conference and join the Pacific Athletic Conference (PAC-8)football race. Actually, "race" might be a rather misleading term. Perhaps "disaster" would fit better. Butwhatever, Western probably could have made quite a name for itself by joining the once elite, proud group where anything less than success was a cardinal sin. The hole was open for. the Viks, too, whenCalifornia was barred from post-season play. Since the ban of the Bears by the NCAA hierarchy, the onetime PAC-8, or Great-8 quickly became the Silly Seven. Surely, Western would have been welcomed tofill out the hole. That way, probably both the PAC-8 and Evco races would have been livelier. The Vikingsrolled Evergreen competition for six league wins and the flag. The closest game was the 23-15 conquestof Central. In the big league, it's beginning to look as if nobody wants to spend New Years Day inPasadena. Stanford, everyone's choice to repeat, looked like they might enjoy the trip by ripping Oregonand Washington. But the Indians must have had second thoughts when they went into battle withWashington State as the Cougars literally kicked the Indians into submission, 24-23. WSU then acted as if they wouldn't mind their first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1931 by faking out Oregon, but found thestrange air of Southern California too strange by dropping a crucial game to USC and died completely bygetting camera shy against Oregon State, Saturday. All this put the Indians back in the driver's seat andthe Palo Altoans were so happy they made a charitable contribution to the San Jose State MoraleAssociation. But, think about it for a moment-. Western in the Rose Bowl, battling the MichiganWolverines. The Vikings take the opening kickoff to their own 35. Tom Wigg breaks over right tackle to the 45 and Steve Skogmo packs the option around left end into Michigan territory. Glenn Hadland fakes theoption and spots Steve Jasmer all alone for a 46-yard touchdown pass. Lance Wilson converts andWestern takes a 7-0 lead. From there on it's all down hill as the Viks win 24-7. (Michigan, beingMichigan, is bound to score at least once.) It makes about as much sense as Stanford going after fallingto Washington State, which was rated the worst college team in the nation, and then losing to San JoseState, which wasn't even rated. Western is currently 7-2. After its game with Simon Fraser Saturday inVancouver, B.C., the Big Blue will be either 8-2 or 7-3 or 7-2-1. The best Stanford can finish is 8-3,although they could wind up 7 4 or 7-3-1. Obviously, Western is the superior team, (right?). Aw heck, it'sa nice dream, and put on the field against Stanford or Washington or USC or any other member of theLate-8,1 wouldn't be at all too hasty in placing a bet against the Viks. Maybe Western should add SanJose State to its schedule next year, to be followed by a game with the always exciting UC SantaBarbara Broncos. Then after those real tough ones are over with, the Vikings would be in fine shape toplay the easy teams like Stanford. remains on the Western schedule, a road affair with Simon Fraserthis week played in Vancouver, B.C. Western has now scored 154 points in its last four games whileholding the opposition to 38 .counters. Those games include wins over Eastern Washington (50-7),Eastern Oregon (21-8), Oregon Tech (42-2) and Whitworth. Against the Pirates, Western relied mainlyon the arm of senior quarterback Glenn Hadland. Hadland pitched 19 passes for 13 completions for 22 5 y a r d s , plus - two touchdowns. Hadland, who, has been looking better with each game, also pickedup 48 net yards rushing on nine attempts and " scored once from the ground. Whitworth was able tocontain Viking fullback Tom Wigg better than most other teams have this year. Wigg totaled 83 netyards in 24 carries. That was enough to put him over the 1,000 yard mark for the season, with a total1,049. It was Steve Skogmo, however, who carried most of the running load for Western. The Burlingtonsophomore picked up 112 yards in 14 carries and two running scores, plus a TD pass from Hadland.The Vikings scored the first time they had the ball, going 73 yards in eight plays before Hadland took itover himself from the two. The Big Blue scored twice in the second period on runs of one and 30 yardsby Skogmo. Western put its first non-league win away with three third quarter tallies. Hadland hittouchdown strikes of 23 yards to Cecil Simms, and seven yards to Skogmo, while reserve quarterbackMarshall Torre wrapped it up with a two-yard scamper. Whitworth got on the board in the opening period via a George Perry to Mel Stubblefield pass good for 65 yards and six points. The Pirates tallied twicemore in the final quarter on short runs by Duncan Findlay and Steve Stanley. Lance Wilson booted five of six conversion attempts for Western, while Ju Ju Predisik was three-for-three for Whitworth, which isnow 1-7 for the year.

Controversy Mounts Over Optional Minor Effect Date BOB MCLAUCHLAN Front Reporter Petitions are being circulated and opposition ismounting to the Academic Council's decision Tuesday to hold off making the minor optional until next fall. In effect, this means that some students will have to pay the increased fall tuition simply to come underthe optional minor ruling even though they may have the necessary 180 credits for graduation. TheAcademic Council made the decision Tuesday to make the minor optional by a 7 to 6 vote, but decidedagainst implementing it this quarter by the same 7 to 6 margin. Tom Cooper, AS Academic Coordinator,will bring up the question of implementation under items from the floor at the Academic Council meetingTuesday for further consideration in hopes of reversing the recent Council decision. Petitions can befound in the AS office of the Viking Union and must be turned in by noon next Tuesday, Cooper said. "It's ridiculous to put it off five months," Cooper said. He believes the optional minor should be put intoimmediate effect for several reasons including: - t h e extra costs to students who will be forced toregister next fall just to graduate under the change - t h e unfairness to students who need this change to graduate this spring and - t h e arbitrary nature of making a certain time decide when the changebecomes effective. Teacher education majors should be aware of the effect of dropping a minor accordingto Director of Placement Louis Lallas. This is because many teaching jobs are combination jobs such asEnglish-History. Students who are Arts Sciences majors would not likely be affected for job placementby graduating without a minor, Lallas said. The major concentration is the primary consideration for jobs in these areas, he said. In other action the Academic Council reinstated the 60-credit requirement in upper division courses which was just dropped last week. The next meeting of Academic Council, scheduledfor 4 p.m. Tuesday in College Hall 131, is open to the public as usual. The Council will consider thegrading commission report, the revolutionary curriculum plan and the optional minor implementationquestion. Beginning next week, a discussion on the next day's Academic Council agenda will be heldevery Monday night at 7 p.m. in Viking Union 008, Cooper said. Campus Briefs AS ApplicationsApplications for Associated Students offices must be filed by April 12 at the Elections Board Office,Viking Union 221. Applications must be accompanied by a $10 damage deposit. The positions ofpresident, vice president and five legislature posts are open. Applicants must have a 2.0 grade pointaverage and be full-time students. All candidates must attend a meeting at 4 p.m. Monday in VikingUnion 224. The primary elections for these offices will be held April 22 and general elections will beFriday, April 30. ENACT A new group with a new name has sprouted from the Puget Sound Coalition:ENACT. At the organizational meeting of the Coalition last Thursday it was decided that a centralorganized group was needed in Whatcom County to co-ordinate a number of clubs and groups in thecommunity that , are environmentally concerned socially and physically, thus ENACT or EnvironmentalAction Council Team. A steering committee for the new group was formed, composed of representativesfrom various organizations in the county, such as the League of Women Voters, Huxley College andPlanned Parenthood. This committee will decide on priorities and issues for environmental action inWhatcom County. Since a governmentally funded organization must remain non-partisan, ENACTsevered financial, but not educational, ties to Western. ENACT co-ordinator Ruth Melone felt that thiswould give the group more freedom in taking action and a stand on political and controversial issues.imin TICKETS GO ON SALE FRIDAY, APRIL 9th AT THE V.U.

Note: This will be a regular column on drugs, ranging in coverage from "authoritative" information onvarious aspects concerning drugs to anecdotal information from local people. It will also report on drug-related activities carried out by various local agencies. Since illegal drugs are very controversial and littleresearch has been done concerning the most widely used illegal drugs, we find ourselves on tenuousground when trying to talk concretely about drugs. Admittedly, much is not known about drugs and theireffects, and most of what is "known" is disputed. But regarding the diverse illegal drugs, there are twofactors which all such drugs have in common: 1) they are illegal, and 2) they are usually surrounded byvery emotional people pro and con. Certainly there was high-pitched emotionality in the passage of the1938 Marijuana Tax Act. Certainly there is emotionality in Art Linkletter's campaign against drugs. Withequal certainty there is emotionality among those who find pleasure, spiritual growth or mind expansionin drugs. Before delving into "facts" about various drugs, which will be done in later columns, I think itwould be valuable to examine this emotional and prejudicial background and try to see why so manypeople let their emotions overtake their sense of reason. Hence, a short history. Around the turn of thecentury, and before, there were a lot of war vets who were morphine addicts from the administration ofmorphine, by medics, to wounded soldiers. It was only after the Civil War that the high addictive power ofmorphine became widely known. So heroin pills were sold in drugstores as a "cure" for morphineaddiction. Until 1904, cocaine was also widely available in the form of America's favorite "soft" drink-Coca-Cola. Previously, George Washington had grown marijuana on his plantation. More recently, the U.S.government started hemp plantations to ensure adequate supplies of rope during wartime. So how did allof these become "killer drugs?" Opiates and cocaine became illegal after it became apparent that theywere addictive. Marijuana became illegal after a heavy scare campaign based on hearsay, andhallucinogens were made illegal when middle-class youths started using them. In the cases of marijuanaand the hallucinogens (marijuana is also sometimes classed as a hallucinogen), the laws were based onthe fear of "drugs"-equated to narcoticsâ€”in a society that fails to recognize alcohol, caffeine or nicotineas "drugs," thereby saving these chemicals from the emotional reaction to drugs. So back to the issue of emotionality about drugs. As college students, many of us either use drugs or have friends who usedrugs and seem to have no problems. As you sit conversing with an apparently calm, rational person whois ripped on LSD, it is difficult to visualize acid as the evil drug that drives users insane or out a top storywindow. We occasionally hear about someone who is hospitalized overnight on a bad trip, but this seems rare. So it seems very rational to regard the police, who bust people for drugs, as evil. The police, thelaw, and the state that supports them become the bad guys in a twisted cops-and-robbers game. Ourelders, on the other hand, grew up with a work-money ethic when the dollar was more highly valued,.amidwarnings about pale, furtive dope pushers hanging around grade schools trying to get innocent childrenhooked. In addition, the most visible users of illegal drugs seem to.hold the middle-class work-moneyethicâ€”so valued by "establishment" people-in low esteem. So drug use is all too often seen as a threatto "the establishment's" existence. What is the value of recognizing these bases of extreme emotionalresponses? It helps to understand that the "other side" has what at least they feel are good reasons forresponding as they do. Especially when parents of drug-using students are involved, you've got to becareful of their feelings-help them through the earth-shattering experience of having a doper in the family(should they find out). It's hard to be a parent these days. Remember that we (students) are asunreasonable to them as they are to us, and be gentle. Item: Watch out for the windowpane acid that'saround now. It's usually fairly pure, but identical looking tabs can range in strength from single hits tofour- or six-way hits. Don't judge the strength of new windowpane by what you've had before. Item:Mescaline is very rare on the black market. It's usually acid or (less often) STP, frequently with speed orstrychnine. Remember that an active dose of mescaline is one-half to one and a half grams. If you'regetting off on much less, you know it's not mesc. Item: A drug information center is being set up. If you'dlike to help, contact Gary Ramey through the Associated Students offices. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 9 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, April 9, 1971 Western Front 3 'Over-Balanced'Budget Concerns Evans By JOHN STOLPE Editor OLYMPIA-Gov. Dan Evans says he would not hesitate to veto what may become an "over-balanced"state budget, adding that a proposed 2 to 6 per cent salary cut for state employees, including collegeteachers, would be a "tragedy" if passed. Evans, in a talk with college newspaper editors hereWednesday, said he did not believe such a salary cut would be approved due to the possible legalproblems over contracts between employees and the state. "If it does pass," Evans added, "it couldmean that the state's higher education system could lose some of its best professors." He said he willbe working closely with joint Senate-House conference committees to prevent or compromise "proposedcuts which have gone too far." TUITION The Governor told the editors he did not like tuition hikes forstate college and university students, but emphasized that "the alternative is a deterioration in thequality of higher education." Evans said "even with the proposed t u i t i o n increases, the averageuniversity student would be paying only one third the cost of his education." He added: "The universitystudent gets more state support for his own education than someone else does on welfare for survival."The Governor, whose executive request to the State Legislature asks for additional tuition waivers forneedy students, noted that the Senate had chopped it out of their budget. He said the state shouldincrease assistance for needy students if it is going to raise tuitions. QUARTER SYSTEM Evans wasobviously confident that a bill to bring all state colleges and universities onto the quarter system will bepassed in this session. If it is passed, then a recent and controversial Curriculum Commission report torestructure the entire college here is in trouble. One of the major provisions of the document calls for achange to a semester plan from the present quarter system now used. The Governor said a quartersystem would help standardize the state's educational system and help the thousands of students whotransfer between institutions each year. CAMPUS UNREST The Governor took several indirect verbalpot shots at Sen. Sam Guess (R-Spokane) and his campus unrest bill, which has been the center ofstudent controversy in recent months. Asked what he thought of it, he answered, "Not much." Evansadded: "As the bill reads today it will never get past my desk." He said the calmness on statecampuses this spring is part of the reason why the bill will not pass and noted that "we also have somesensible legislators in the legislature." Evans told the editors to encourage year round contact with local legislators and to invite them "one at a time" to the campuses for informal visitations. WAR DISSENTThe Governor also told the editors that it "doesn't do any good" for the state as an institution to take astand on the Indochina War. "Memorials to Congress are useless," he said. "We could probably get apopular response to a memorial against the war since pulling out is now a question of how fast we runout such moves could lead to a disintegration of the nation." MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION Evans said therewas no chance that a.marijuana legalization bill would pass the Legislature, but he added that "it was auseful thing that a bill was placed before the Legislature for discussion." The biggest factor holding uppassage of any marijuana bill is that its critics must first be persuaded by medical evidence that its long-range effects are negligible, the Governor explained. Union Leader Says Layoff System Needed JAYECKERT Front Reporter Faculty members hired in the belief that their positions would be permanenthave been fired because there is no procedure for faculty layoffs, according to Raymond McLeod,president of the Faculty Professional Union. McLeod, chairman of the Physics Department, presentedthe Board of Trustees with a petition last Friday asking for the development of faculty layoff procedures.Eighteen terminations were ordered March 1G by College President Flora in anticipation of cuts in thestate budget. Faculty members must be notified by March 15 regarding whether or not they will berehired. "There is a logical need for a system but no one is doing anything," said McLeod this week.McLeod said that people dismissed have no guarantee of being rehired or reconsidered. He said theterminations seemed discriminatory against first-year faculty members. McLeod feels that the layoffrecommendations will be lost in a committee. The Faculty Professional Union, a division of AmericanFederation of Teachers, was organized as an independent voice on campus for faculty members. Anestimated 40 faculty members have joined the union. "Faculty and students have suffered equally by thegrowth of Western," said McLeod. He termed administration inattention a main factor in the low morale of the faculty. " S t u d e n t s are less trouble than the administration." RAYMOND McLEOD CommitteeProposes More Budget Revisions A special administration-student committee has proposed sweepingbudget revisions in 29 areas of the college ranging from housing to Associated Students to generalservices. Suggested revisions include everything from granting legal rights to dorm residents, such asdrinking for those of legal age and 24 hour visitation, to replacing some civil service personnel in theViking Union with students. Compiled by four administrators and four students, all members of the non-instructional budget committee, the report's first proposed policy changes deal with three specific levels:state, departmental, and individual. The proposal suggests that many state rules and regulationsregarding purchasing, employment, budget and academic reform be reviewed. It also recommends fulleruse of Western's facilities such as evening use for community college activities. At the departmentallevel, the present committee system was found extremely wasteful of student, faculty and administrativetime. It is recommended that the committees be reduced in size and meet annually or bi-annually. Thiswould, admittedly, render the college governance "less democratic," but efficiency requires the move,according to the report. The individual level, of most concern to students, states that "the student should be freed from costs beyond those required for classes and institutional commitments." A c c o r d i n gto the report, responsibility for extra-curricular services and activities should be shifted to the individual.Any damage caused to school property ultimately falls back on those who incurred the damage.Presently, those innocent of damage are being held financially responsible in an indirect manner. In thearea of faculty, staff, and administrator's salaries, the report proposes increases solely on the basis ofmerit. That is, no longer would staff, faculty, and administrators be given a raise merely on the basis oftheir longevity at Western. The second policy change concerns itself with areas of communication;proliferation of travel, telephone use, and memos. Choice of type of communication should be based onconsiderations of time and money involved, the report advised. The third policy change concernscentralization of service functions, purchasing, maintenance and repair of equipment, and types ofpersonnel. The 29 specific areas of concern, and major changes proposed in these areas are: -Admissions: Investigate the possible reduction of $91,00 expenditure for data processing in Admissionand Registrar's areas. Associated Student Body: Sex information could be handled by the HealthService and save student government $850. (2) Investigate the possibility of handling the off-campusstudent employment through the Financial Aids Office ( $ 4 , 8 0 0 ) . (3) Investigate the possibility ofcombining the Daily Bulletin, Student Activity bulletin, Fast, agenda and minutes of all councils into theWestern Front. (4) Attempt to make students more aware of costs for all campus operations. -Business Office: Promote throughout the college the concept of pools of s e c r e t a r i e s , s t a f f andadministrators. Such pools would alleviate peak work loads. -General Services: Should exercise morecontrols wherever it can be demonstrated this does not seriously impair educational quality. The areas of telephones, printing, purchasing, copying, majling and storage are areas of great potential savings. -Campus Planning: Review the policy on mercury vapor rather than incandescent outside lighting. Thepresent lighting system costs the college many thousands of dollars in electricity and bulb replacement. -Computer Center: Sell computer time to off-campus operations in order to offset on-campus expenses;this may also improve public relations. -Continuing Studies: Make the Department of Continuing Studies self supporting, including rent, services, etc., insofar as it conforms to institutional academic goals. -Controller: Improve present services which would assist all areas of the college to operate moreefficiently. -Counseling: (1) Reduce number of doctorate counselors, and use graduate assistants ormaster's degree staff. (2) Counselors should be paid according to their function rather than whether ornot they are c l a s s i f i e d as f a c u l t y or administrator. (continued on page 6) ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 9 - Page 4 ---------- Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comforted" Vital Concerns Some vitalconcerns have recently come before the college community which demand the individual attention ofeach student. They include: â€”The Curriculum Commission Report which calls for a sweepingrestructuring of Western's educational system. â€”The Daugert Proposal for an all-college government,which in theory would integrate the confusing entanglement of campus governance Western presentlyoperates under. â€”The recent reduction in the number of credits required for graduation from 192 to 180which is now in effect. â€”The introduction of student-faculty designed majors which allow students toinitiate the formation of individual majors suiting their particular needs which is now effective. â€”Thedecision to make the minor optional which, as of now becomes effective fall quarter. Time is short andstudents should involve themselves in the Curriculum Report and the Daugert Proposal questions fortheir own good. The Curriculum Report will return to President Flora's hands for final revision May 1 andthe Daugert Proposal will quite likely be on the spring ballot April 30. Students should read forthemselves a copy of the report or the Front summarization of the article. AS President Steve Cooperrecommends that students get a copy from his office or President Flora's office, read \t, talk to facultyand other students and then make his opinion k n o w n , either directly to the a d m i n i s t r a t i o n or through his representatives (AS Administration and Legislature). Likewise, students should read theDaugert Proposal as printed in the special Front supplement in Tuesday's issue and inform themselves in order to react intelligently when the Proposal comes up for a vote later this month. While the AcademicCouncil decided to make the minor optional it has inconsistently delayed putting this into effect until fallquarter even though they recently put the 180 minimum credits for graduation into immediate effect.Petitions are being circulated to reverse the Council decision so the minor will become optional thisquarter. It is on the agenda for Tuesday's session of Academic Council, which will be held at 4 p.m. inCollege Hall 131. We urge students to make their views known. Students affected by the decision onoptional minors should attend the Tuesday meeting and speak out. â€”Ron Graham Up, Up and A wayEDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor PHOTOEDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss COPY EDITOR: Jim AustinASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Marie Haugen SPORTS EDITOR: Larry Lemon STAFF REPORTERS:GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.ADMINISTRATION: Jim Austin, Mary Peebles, Adele Saltzman, Scott Anderson.

Friday 1971 REV. BILL SODT Consider our insane society this day. Asoldier, convicted by the 'fairest trial in history,' convicted of murder (not war crime), released fromconfinement by the President of the United States to cool the people (give us Barabbas?)â€”a longhairedsmasher of accepted myths convicted of murder at which he was not present, jury now shamed by sexrumors, he now headed for the electric chairâ€”a philosophy teacher, woman, who challenges political and economic conventions, black, held interminably for trial which will not come off, on suspicion that sheconspired to furnish guns for murder. Calley, Manson, Davis. * * * * * This day two thousand years ago,empire-religion executed an innocent. Pilate and Caiphas heard a frustrated, confused, and mindlessmob, and did it. Lyndon and Richard, Billy and Car, play those roles today, emperors and high priests ofneurosis, fear, and indecision. The mob hates change-minded young, hates communists, hates thethreat of difference, and is so confused by it all that it's impotent. Justice forgotten, emotion rules. Wash,wash, washâ€”hands won't come clean. Seldom has a society been so misled and confused by itsleaders' political expediency; seldom has a people been so hypnotized by its Frankenstein monster gone amok. Greed, fed by hopes of economic empire and the false technology god, has brought the land to the brink of ungovernableness, to the edge of economic, ecological and societal collapse. We can't handleCalley, Manson, Davis or Christ. On this Good Friday the crucified-and risen -Jesus calls even the mostcynical to spiritual resurrection. Not a lift "deus ex machina" out of fated chaos into the beauty of goldplated streets, but a revolution of character which will shake our spines, and waken us to justice andrighteousness and compassion for the oppressed and the blind and the captive of our world. That's us.We're oppressed by our own folly and greed; we're blind to our own falseness; we're captive of our ownconventions. Out of death can come resurrectionâ€”Jesus showed that to us Christians. That's our faith.But it takes a dying away from those qualities which the evidence shows have got our American societyinto the pit of hell. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 9 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, April 9, 1971 Western Front 5 Letters from our readers All letters to the editor and guest editorials are welcome.

WantsResponse to Curriculum Report Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to strongly urge that allstudents at Western read and respond to the report of the Curriculum Commission. This report is ofgreat importance to the future of Western. and student response is of extreme importance. This mayvery well be the last such opportunity for students' voices to be heard for years to come. Copies of thereport can be obtained in the â€¢ president's office, Old Main 115. Students, your opinions are needednow. David M. Johnson Student member Curriculum Commission Front Questioned Editor: I have been accumulating a number of thoughts about the Western Front's direction and "leadership." The Frontseems quick to jump on a problem as any paper should, if the object of the editorial is deserving. Points of. questionâ€” (1) Why was a full cover page devoted to a women's liberation photograph? (2) Why isRev. Sodt the only guest commentator? A variety of viewpoints seem to improve the column. Surely noperson can know as much about world and local events as a number of guest commentators would. (3)Why attack Associated . Student government when it seems that perhaps the Western Front should bedoing some constructive criticism of the students as a whole. It seems that general over-all apathy is atfault rather than the present Associated Student government. (4) Remembering that the presenteconomic condition of Washington State and Western is a big issue, it would make sense to emphasize problems related to this issue. More directly, the Board of Trustees has control of the . college. Theirmeetings are open to the public but usually there is very poor representation at the meetings bystudents. I can attribute this to the lack of knowledge of when the meetings will be held and the agendaunder discussion. The Western Front receives one of a very few copies of the agenda that are sent outby President Flora. I feel it is the responsibility of the Western Front to inform the student body of thedate and agenda of the Board of Trustees. (5) 1 am tired of reading about results of a personal feudbetween the individuals in student government and the Western Front. In short, maybe the Front's editor should clean up his own problems before attacking others for the same problemâ€”Apathy. John H.Bosshart 6844743 junior Editor's Note. It looks as if your letter has been a long time in coming. Youare correct in noting our sporadic coverage of trustees meeting agendasâ€”we intend to correct thatdeficiency in the future. As for your other criticisms: 1. We are bringing other columnists to our pagesthis quarter, including a drug column and a general interest column, among others. 2. We love studentgovernment. 3. We feel that diversified and interesting front pages have helped increase our readershipfantastically. I am sorry but newspapers cannot satisfy everyone all of the time. Thanks for your letter.Clarifies Position Editor: I would like to take the opportunity to clarify my position as a member on theBookstore Board. The article in Tuesday's edition correctly stated my position. However several thingsneed to be said to understand that position. Repeatedly, I have been accused of having a vested interest in the store by working there. I believe this accusation to be false. Apparently the AS Legislature felt the same way when I was appointed. On the day my appointment was to be ratified by the legislature lastApril, I appeared before them. At that time I was an employee of the store. One of the legislators present asked me if I was such and when I answered "yes," he and the rest of Legislature unanimously ratifiedmy appointment. Last fall, I again asked this same* person if he felt my resignation from the Board wasneeded. His response was "no," that because I was employed there, I had superior insight to problemsof the store that other members not employed by the store did n o t have. My thinking corresponds tohis. I believe I have acted in the best interests of the students. For example, I submitted an alternativeto a rebate. This alternative centered around giving a cash discount at the time of purchase. I believe this is a very equitable solution and one which should be given thought. We have implemented a rebatesystem on trial bases. At the end of this trial period, I suggest that a cash discount also be given a"trial" to see which runs smoothest and is most equitable. In the past the Bookstore Board has actedas a managerial board. Because of the actions taken, the emphasis has been shifted to a more advisory capacity. I see this as creating no bottleneck except I do think the Board does need to know e x a c t l y with whom the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y of final management decisions lies. In the federal governmentthere are checks and balances imposed on the President. I believe that the board is not incapable ofmaking unsound decisions and some checks should be imposed on it as well. Therefore, I believe thatthe legislature's action was entirely within its jurisdiction. I do not agree with their decision nor do Iapprove of their procedure. It seems to me their minds were made up before we, as a board, had theopportunity to express our reasons for granting an increase in salaries. Regardless, I am sure theiractions to impose checks were correct since the store is "owned" by the Associated Students. Manytoes have been stepped on and a good many names have been called. I call upon the new BookstoreBoard to assume their duties with an open mind. Thank you. Joe Christopher Junior, Bookstore BoardAccounting Officials View Daugert Proposal A STUDENT'S VIEW OF THE DAUGERT PROPOSAL Thisyear's student government administration supports the now amended Daugert Proposal. Although it doesnot contain, what we feel, adequate representatio for students, we have gained a somewhat strongerposition than before negotiations began. Both AS Vice President Gary Evans and I feel that total student representation is inadequate. However, we did hope that if students had a substantial say in the lowercouncils of the proposed senate, this might off-set student powerlessness in terms of total numbers. TheFaculty Council had previously structured major committees as far as student-faculty membership and left others completely unassigned. We have insured, however, whatever power students have at this timeand under the present system of governance, will be at least the same proportionately under the DaugertProposal. Other concessions were made by the faculty, but on the most part, Gary and I found themintransigent to change. We were once charged with being inflexible, yet it was the faculty who showedmore lack of trust and lack of flexibility. Gary and I urge all students to read this document, ask anyquestions and then vote. Steve Cooper AS President AN ADMINISTRATOR'S VIEW OF THE DAUGERTPROPOSAL The campus community has before it a proposal which establishes a mechanism for "all-college government." This proposal, prepared by an ad hoc Committee on College, Government chairedby Professor S. M. Daugert, calls for the creation of a senate which includes representatives from themajor community constituencies administration, staff, faculty, and students-and a diversity ofcommissions, councils, and committees which report to the senate. The concept of "college government" expressed in this proposal is sound and practicable. It provides a forum from which all majorconstituencies may actively participate in developing policies affecting the entire college. However,Section 1.1 tends to detract from the office of the president and the wording suggests that there will be no selectivity in matters of policy brought to the Board for its action. Under current arrangements the Boardhas delegated to the president considerable responsibility for decisions concerning policy and manypolicies, particularly those relating to internal operations, are never brought before the Board. To ask theBoard to consider all policy matters would be both unnecessary and inefficient. The proposed councilsand commissions represent serious impediments to the efficient conduct of college business in matters of curriculum and budget. In the first place, the proposed councils and commissions tend to separatecurricular decisions from budgetary considerations. The separation is not realistic and certainly cannot beeffectively synthesized by the senate. In the second place, the authority proposed for the AcademicCoordinating Commission negates the relative autonomy granted the three new undergraduate divisions-Fairhaven College, Huxley and College of Ethnic Studies- by their charter statements which have beenapproved by the Board of Trustees. In the third place, the allocation of responsibilities among theproposed councils, commissions, and committees fails to recognize certain holistic relationships amongthose agencies of the college which support the educational mission. For example, "health" and "safety"are not distinctive concerns, rather they are closely related problems. They must be dealt with jointly, notby two separate councils. For these various reasons, I would vote against the Daugert proposal as awhole but support strongly the creation of a college government that represented the major constituencies of the campus. F.

By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D. QUESTION: I read recently that Vitamin A tablets will help your complexion clear. I bought a bottle of Vitamin A tablets and each one contains 50,000units. So far there has been a slight improvement in my skin, but for the first time in my life my hair hasbecome very oily and 1 have to wash it every other day. Could this be caused by the extra Vitamin A?ANSWER: Although Vitamin A has been prescribed in the treatment of acne, there is no evidence that it is effective. The only appropriate use of Vitamin A is in the treatment of Vitamin A deficiency. Such adeficiency is very rare but can occur when people are on diets that contain no vegetables, little fat ormilk or if they have certain intestinal abnormalities so that absorption of this vitamin is impaired. Tnebody does not manufacture Vitamin A and depends on external sources. The daily requirement forVitamin A is only 5,000 units and when it is given as a dietary supplement no more than 10,000 units aday is necessary. There are skin lesions associated with Vitamin A deficiency which resemble hardbumps on the arms, thighs and back. More i m p o r t a n t l y , Vitamin A deficiency can lead to nightblindness, and if the lack is severe, permanent loss of vision can result. M a n y c a s e s ofhypervitaminosis A (too much Vitamin A) have been reported. This condition occurs most often whenpeople overdose themselves with the vitamin in treating skin disorders. Nausea, vomiting, weakness,loss of hair, itching, and splitting skin at the corners of the mouth can result. If you are taking more thanone per day of those pills you bought, you are' a candidate for hypervitaminosis A. Personnel:Investigate all Civil Service personnel with a view to hiring for less than a 12 month, basis. â€¢PhysicalPlant: If financially feasible, the college should develop a system of garbage collection and paperrecycling. -Placement: Review the present fee structure with a view to placing more of the costs onthose benefiting from services. â€”Printing: Do not color strip paper (Save at least $2,000): - P u b l i c In f o r m a t i o n and Development: Increase the number of news releases which would be of interest tothe college community, the local community, and to the state. -Purchasing: Produce an informativeguide regarding purchasing policies, when to buy and other pertinent information. â€” Registrar: Consider the possibility of annual registrations and computer scheduling as a means to dollar savings.â€”Research and Grants: Coordinate with Public Information to centralize college institutional r e s e a rc h and information distribution. â€”Safety and Security: It is suggested that all students, faculty, andstaff assist in the responsible task of guarding mutual property. â€”Space and Scheduling: Review the _ "standards" of classrooms and office furniture. â€”Viking Union: The use of student help may beappropriately expanded to replace civil service personnel in the areas which are of primary concern andresponsibility of the students. â€” Miscellaneous Observations: The establishment of a well representedall college governance should reduce the necessity for separate group actions, separate services andduplication of efforts. The proposal will be submitted to the Provost and the Long Range Planningcommittee to review, consider, and then to implement. Lysergic Acid Diethylamide does not go in your car battery.

Ranging from cancellation of all student deferments to abandonment of the draft and an all-volunteer army, some sort of serious change in the draft is imminent, according to Wally Sigmar, draftcounselor at Western. Sigmar said that two basic outcomes are probably when a decision is finallyreached in Washington. The first possibility would be a two-year extension on current draft induction, asproposed by the Nixon Administration in Senate Bill 427. Also included in this bill are improvement ofpay and benefits for military personnel (to induce more men to enlist), abolishment of the II-S and I-S-Cstudent deferments retroactive to April 1970, and an end to the IV-D (ministry) deferment, except for menenrolled in a seminary before Jan. 28, 1971. The second possibility, proposed by Senators MarkHatfield, George McGovern and Frank Church, would completely do away with the draft. Hatfield isproviding companion legislation which would replace the draft with the controversial all-volunteer army.Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. has proposed his own softening blow, Senate Bill 483, to accompanyBill 427 upon its passage, Sigmar said. Apparently, Kennedy is in basic agreement with Nixon's desiresto extend the current draft two years and eliminate those deferments listed. But Kennedy wants to loosen restrictions on the conscientious objector (CO) deferment, and insure all draft-eligible young men anadequate counseling service if Bill 427 is passed, Sigmar explained. "Several students have come intomy office in utter confusion about their draft status since Nixon's congressional appeal," the draftcounselor said. "If Bill 427 passes, incoming freshmen would not receive a college deferment, all other II-S and I-S-C deferments granted since April 1970 would be revoked, but students drafted in mid-year or in their final year of college would receive postponement of induction until completion of that year," he said. Persons have speculated that Nixon's purpose for cancelling the student deferments is to draft moremen, or to eliminate campus disturbances. "Nixon's rationale is to make the draft more fair. If he wantedmore men, he could simply raise the lottery number above 195," Sigmar said. If Nixon's proposal doespass, the new flood of non-deferred students Will create a larger pool of lottery numbers, and thus lowerthe induction number from 195 to possibly 150 or so, Sigmar said. Although these bills may be in theHouse for several weeks, and it is possible that none of them will be adopted (leaving the draftunchanged), Sigmar said it looks as though the Nixon Administration is powerful enough to push Bill 427 through to enactment. "Remember, though, none of these bills have yet passed, so currently-deferredstudents are still draft exempt, and newly-eligible students can still receive deferments," he said.Academic Council Okays Alternate Ed Program The Academic Council has approved an alternateprogram for four of the professional education courses currently required for teacher certification. Thetwo-quarter laboratory program scheduled to start next fall will be a competency-based, field-centeredsystems approach to teaching, Herbert Hite, chairman of the Education Department, said. The newcourses will be a major part of a program that is consistent with the new standards proposed by the state Department of Public Instruction for certification of teachers, Hite said. The new standards specify thatprograms shall be based on competency standards and preparation agencies will be accountable forevidence that teacher candidates have demonstrated appropriate competencies in their areas. Thelaboratory program will be available as an alternative to Education 385 (Foundations in Reading) or 420(Instruction in the Secondary Schools), Education 411 (Foundations in Education), Psychology 351(Principles of Human Learning), Psycholgoy 371 (Evaluation in the Public Schools) and the studentteaching courses. Education 310 (The Teacher and Social Order) and Psychology ,352 (HumanDevelopment) will still be required. The two-quarter program will be offered in cooperating school districtsoff campus. A consortium, consisting of Western, the cooperating district and the Washington Education Association, will determine if the student has shown evidence of competency in his area. Somestudents are already participating in an experimental program in the Southwest center in Seattle, Hitesaid. Students who plan to take the optional laboratory program should defer any of the applicableclasses and concentrate on their major and minor and general education courses, he said. CampusHighrise to Fill Despite Controversies MICKEY HULL Front Reporter Chances are good that Western'snewest housing complex for students, scheduled for completion this coming fall, will be filled up despitecontroversies covering college-owned housing. Project '71 is a highrise apartment house being built atthe intersection of West Campus Way and College Parkway. Assistant Director of Housing Pete Coy,said that many persons have already applied to live in the complex that will be run on a coeducational,four students to an apartment, system. Large numbers of students who were living on campus haverecently moved to off-campus, privately owned housing for more freedom and to beat the rising on-campus living costs. Coy claimed that the reduction that is leaving many dorm rooms unoccupied thisquarter is due to the college's clamp-down on new admissions. Coy also mentioned that the apartmenthouse residents will be picked mainly on a seniority system from upper-classmen and persons who have l i v e d on-campus for longer periods. Coy said that the housing, which is set just off the main campusarea attracts numbers of students who want to be apart from run-of-the-mill college housing systems."Projects like Birnam Wood are the best move we've ever made," he cited. Birnam Wood is a tree hiddenand landscaped apartment complex that lies about one mile east of campus that has brought largenumbers . of applications from students into Coy's offices. Project '71 will be patterned somewhat like the Birnam Wood complex both in price and luxuries but most of all the apartments will give the individualstudent more peace and freedom. The onlv problem that the project faces is a possible labor strike byconstruction workers summer when contracts come up again for negotiations. The strike, coupled by the fact that the project is already running two months behind schedule due to bad weather, could causenumerous headaches this fall, Coy said. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 9 - Page 9 ---------- msrnwm^ UVUUUMI I IUML I I Spurts of good weather are triggering the annual tennis court rush.

The Viking netmendefeated San Francisco State 5-4, lost to Chico State 8-1 and came back to win 5-3 over the SonomaState Tennis Club. Steve Doerrer, the Viking's No. 1 singles ace, won matches in each meet defeatingSan Francisco's John Wong 3-6,6-4,6-1, Chico's Jack LaFever 6-4, 6-2 and Sonoma's Leon Richards 3-6,6-1, 9-7. No. 3 man Steve Adelstein was the only other singles victor against San Francisco as theVikings took all three doubles matches for the victory. Doerrer, a senior from Bellevue, copped the onlyWestern point against Chico and was a victor along with No. 2 man Arnie Larson, Frank Williams No. 4and Doug Clark No. 6 in the Sonoma meet. In that match Clark and Flinn combined to take the No. 3doubles. Eastern Spikers Here Tomorrow KENT SHERWOOD Front Reporter Hoping to continue theirrecent success, Western's track squad will take on Eastern Washington (EWSC) in their first conferencedual meet of the year tomorrow at Civic Stadium. Field events will begin at 12:45 p.m. and running events at 1:30 p.m. Viking coach Dick Bowman is optimistic about his squad's chances and is looking for awin. Bowman is not, however, without respect for the Savage thinclads. "They are a very good team,"Bowman commented, "and are not to be taken lightly. But I think we'll be ready and should win it."Eastern's strength lies in the long, triple jump and distance races. The Savages are led by milers JoeRoss and Barry Jahn. Ross has run a 4:16 so far this year and Jahn has turned in a 4:18. Good weathertomorrow could lower these times. A Vik victory, however, is seen by Bowman in the sprints, pole vaultand discus.

Here it's Mike Wheat's (20) turn to bat the breeze. The freshman catcher, however, did get a hit on the next pitch. Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Western's baseball Vikings face their secondEvergreen Conference (Evco) foe tomorrow when Eastern Washington visits Bellingham's Civic Field. Thedouble-header with the Savages will start at 12 noon. The Viks are currently 1-1 in Evco play. OverallWestern is 6-2, suffering a tough 2-1 defeat at the hands of Seattle University in a pitcher's duelWednesday afternoon. The Chieftains got an unearned run off starting pitcher Neil Crawford in the second inning. Chuck Bayless walked with one out and scored when Vik third-baseman Keith Reynvaancommitted a throwing arror on a ground ball hit by Brad Bever. Bever gave Seattle a 2-0 lead in theseventh inning when he singled across Lon Copv.nhaver who had opened the frame with a double.Chieftain pitcher Ron Thompson struck otft 10 Viking batters and held Western scoreless until second-baseman Rock Jackson homered in the bottom of the ninth. Jackson was the only Western batter to gettwo hits. He singled to lead off the seventh, advanced to third on an error by the outfielder, but failed toscore as a pop fly and two strikeouts ended the Viking threat. Crawford, the losing pitcher, was relievedby Don Balke after five innings. Balke struck out 6 in his four-inning stint. Western turned in threedouble-plays during the afternoon, including an unassisted twin-killing by shortstop Dave Bobillot. First-baseman Ron Porterfield Jeads Western hitters with a .455 average.

Photo By DAVE SHERMAN PLU Traps Golfers, CoachOptimistic What might be termed a loss for Western's golf team could possibly be a win in the future,according to head golf coach James Lounsberry. The Viking team traveled to Eugene, Ore. for theOregon Invitational last week and finished sixth out of eight places, but Lounsberry saw this more as awin than a loss. Lounsberry said the two teams the Viks did beat-Whitman and Southern Oregon-willface the Viks in future matches, and the wins will give the team a psychological edge. Senior HerbClemo came in with a three round score of 229 at the invitational, while junior Bill Palmer registered a 231 for three rounds on the par 72 course. The University of Oregon took the team title and SeattleUniversity's Randy Puetz won the individual title. On returning to Bellingham, the final selection wasmade for the golf team. The nine players picked out of the 14 last qualifiers were Bill Paimer, Fred Olsen, Bill Hager, Herb Clemo, Bob Morris , Jack Erskine, Rick Wike, Daryl Adler, Chuck Anderson and MikeHading. After making the final selection, the team faced Pacific Lutheran University last Monday atTacoma and lost in a 27 point match play 8% to 18%. Viks Fred Olsen took the medalist with a 67, butit was not enough to beat PLU's low scores of 68 and 70. Next on the golf schedule, the Viks will playthe University of Puget Sound at the Bellingham Golf and Country Club next Thursday. The first tee-off isat 1:30 p.m. on the 6,100 yard, par 71 course. Randall Corrals Top CC Player By PAUL MADISONWestern basketball coach Chuck Randall can't be blamed for getting just a little excited over next seasonwith the enrollment of the state's most sought-after community college player, 6-2 guard Tom Bradley. vBradley, a transfer from Walla Walla CC gt;was voted the Most Valuable Player of the State CommunityTournament as he paced the Warriors to a second-place finish. Averaging 22-points a game, Bradley ledWalla Walla to the Cross-State CC Division title and an overall 23-6 record. Last year Bradley also ledthe Warriors to the state tourney, the first appearance in the school's history. From Washington D.C.Bradley is also an aggressive rebounder and excellent play-maker. Add to this his leadership anddefensive ability and one quickly realizes why University of Washington coach Tex Winters feels Bradleycould play for any school in the Pacific-8. The Huskies and all other big schools were unable to recruitBradley due to an NCAA ruling that a player must complete his four years of eligibility within five years ofenrolling. Returning from last season's squad are four starters including All-Evergreen Conference forwardGary White, 6-7 center Rudy Thomas, forward Lee Roy Shults and guard Mike Franza. Also back will belettermen Roger Fuson, Chip Kohr and Mike Preston. Add to this imposing talent a number of fineprospects from junior varsity team that finished 12-6, plus some outstanding prep players being recruitedand it's no wonder optimism reigns at Carver gym.

E. S. Trend Is To Higher Grades By PAT BRENNEN Associate EditorThe largest number of grades given at Western last quarter were in the A and B categories, according tograde distribution information released by the Registrar's Office. Of over 35,000 grades given out for thequarter, 9,671 or 27.4 per cent were A's and 10,585 or 29.8 per cent were B's. C, or average grades,accounted for 6,340 or 18 per cent, D grades for 882 or 2.5 per cent, and F grades for 595 or 1.6 per cent of all grades awarded. There were also 1,450 incompletes, 2,080 satisfactory and 1 unsatisfactorygrades given out. Of those opting for the pass/fail system of grading there were 3,382 passing gradesand 327 failing grades given. The number of A's and B's awarded spring quarter accounted for a surprising 72.1 per cent of all grades awarded in the A-F category. This represents an increase in above-averagegrades given out over the past few quarters. Fall quarter of 1968, 60.7 per cent of the grades awarded inthe A-F category were A's and B's, while figures for winter quarter 1969 were 62.1 per cent and for winter quarter 1971 were 69.6 per cent. Registrar William O'Neil said the reason for the increase of above-average grades could be "both teachers and students are doing a better job." He said that this could beone rationale for the trend to higher grades, but that another could be that the grading system is gettingmore "liberal." "Many educators today aren't as sure as they used to be about the validity of the A-Fgrading system. They worry about the penalty nature of grades, and this could have lead to theincreasingly greater number of above-average grades being awarded." Dean of Students C. W. McDonaldsaid he hoped the caliber of students at Western could account for the high proportion of A's and B'sbeing received. "The quality of student at Western has been improving," he said. "In fact the grade pointaverage of the freshman class is rising every year. I think this year it was somewhere around a 3.0." Headded that this factor could be significant because, "it's foolish to think that any class will have a normaldistribution of grades. With so many getting A's, so many B's and so on. It just doesn't work that wayanymore." A B C.

RonJohnson's stomach was in his throat. He was in a small stuffy office surrounded by three telephones, allthreatening to ring at once. In front of him, an open log book glared up at him, disfigured by accounts ofearlier callers. It was Ron's first shift as a Crisis Clinic volunteer. The training session had gone well. Two days of learning crisis intervention techniques through giving and taking simulated crisis calls had givenRon some sense of security. His fond illusion of saving the world had been shattered the first day of thetraining session, however, by Dennis, a seasoned veteran. "You're not here to solve anybody's problemsfor them, they have to do that themselves. Your role is to be there for people to talk to. Most calls willprobably leave you a little frustrated," Dennis had told him. The first call he took was from one of thetrainers playing the role of a lonely 25-year-old man. Ron screwed up the call. The trainer and the trainee walked back to the group after the call. Ron looked at his recent mentor, and all he could say was "I'msorry." He hadn't realized how much he could get caught up in the role playing. Another couple hadspent 20 minutes on the phones crying. That was considered an excellent call because they both feltbetter. The whole group could hear both ends of the conversation through the use of a device provided by the Bell Telephone Company. One of the first things Ron found out about crisis intervention was that you had to be honest with the caller before his confidence could be gained. Being honest was hard. Forexample on another call, Ron had the impulse to tell the caller that he was getting annoyed at the caller's insistence on running him around in circles. But his warm heart didn't want to offend this poor lost soul."Why didn't you tell him you were ticked off?" Dennis asked after the call. "He would have known that you were being honest with him." Ron had learned during the training session that there were four levels ofcrisis intervention. To help solve a problem, a person would try to get help from the first level, usuallyfamily and close friends. The second level would be his minister or counselor. If that failed, he might tryacquaintances such as the corner bartender. The fourth level would be complete strangers and the CrisisClinic. Ron began to appreciate how lonely many people are, and how afraid they could become. Thisappreciation helped him to see some of his own problems and deal with them. As the training sessionwent on, Ron began to understand how to deal with various types of calls. To a caller on a "bad trip," Ron learned to be reassuring and friendly, to tell the client that he was all right and not to suggest to theclient that he might be on a "bummer." Other callers might threaten suicide or just run him around incircles for as long as they could. Many just called to talk. Ron found himself a directory of resources forpeople with problems ranging from unwanted pregnancy to alcoholism. Now, while sitting at the deskwaiting for his first call, Ron thumbed through the roll-a-dex filled with every conceivable agency inBellingham and Whatcom County to help those in need. The Clinic had received over 5,000 calls since it started in November. A volunteer might sit through a four-hour shift with no calls at all, or all threephones might ring at once. If this happened, he must quickly decide which calls to reject. Ron shivered to think of what his reactions might be in such a situation. The phone rang loudly. 1200 Students BorrowFrom $1 Million Loan Fund By DAN TOLVA Front Reporter There are many sources of aid for studentssuffering from the present economic slump. Approximately $1 million in financial grants and scholarshipsis available to Western students, according to Dick Coward of the Financial Aids Office. About 55 percent of these funds are National Defense Loans, with an additional $145,000' coming from EqualOpportunity Grants. The College Study Fund ($110,000) and the Law Enforcement Education Fund($10,000) complete the list of federal funds. Another $180,000 is available in state aid, Coward said. Heestimated that 1,200 students were receiving aid in one form or another, including $25 "emergency" loans for immediate financial problems. "We grant aid to any student whose income is insufficient to provideeducational expenses," Coward said. The college matches available federal funds at a rate of 10-15 percent, according to Coward, but the government has slashed appropriations for financial aid to students by 35 per cent. "I think the institutions are doing a more responsible job than the federal appropriationscommittee," Coward said. Work-study programs are also available to the student through variousdepartments. Deana Clark, a sophomore ethnic studies major from Mission, B.C., worked at the MigrantCenter in Lynden last summer. "I really enjoyed the experience; it was good, very good," she said.Students should see about these programs through their departments, according to Jim Grant of thefinancial aids office. "The secretary is usually the best person to see rather than the department head.She usually knows what is needed at the moment," Grant said. Additional aid is available through various scholarship funds; however, most of these have already been granted, according to Fran Titus of thefinancial aids office. Students wishing to apply for scholarship aid should do so at least six months inadvance. The same is true for most financial aid except that under "emergency" loans. Last yearapproximately $12,000 was available in scholarships for Western students. The funds, provided by theWestern Washington State College Foundation, are granted on the basis of ability and need. Additionalfunds are provided for students through various professional organizations. For example, the Oeser Cedar Scholarship Fund provides $750 for "majors in technology with special interest in forestry, wood-product technology, industrial design or industrial graphics," according to a brochure published by the financialaids office. Both scholarship grants and financial aid use the same application form. Those wishing toapply can do so at the financial aids office in Room 103, Old Main. 733-0201 1112 Cornwall Avenuetoday's front WANTS TO JOIN YOU! _ â€ž , â€ž Western 676-3160 F~"Â» ---------- Western Front - 1971 July 14 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, July 14, 1971 Western Front 3 PHOTO ESSAY: SHELLFISH RESEARCH LABORATORYALL PHOTOS ON THIS PAGE TAKEN BY PHOTO EDITOR LOREN BLISS ON LUMMI ISLAND. OnLummi Island a somewhat slapped-together laboratory is carrying on experiments with culturing shellfish-and someday soon the techniques will be applied as important factors in the Lummi AquacultureProject, which will provide jobs and a stable industry for the Lummi tribe. It is directed by Richard Poole,right, with assistance by tribe members like Alvin Casimir, left. If a federal grant is approved, the pilot lab will be replaced by a new, larger one. Visits Lummis arlon Brando Producing Indian HistoryDocumentary By JOHN STOLPE Editor Marlon Brando leaned against the weather porch of the BeachGrocery on Lummi Island last Thursday and, in a quiet and deliberate voice, said the history of theAmerican Indian has been nothing more than one lie after another for hundreds of years. The famous star of the epic movie "Mutiny on the Bounty" said he intended to do something about it. Brando, dressedcasually in a blue knit shirt and flaired jeans, made his remark while touring the Lummi AquacultureProject on the scenic island across Bellingham Bay. He was guided by personal friend Wallace Heath,an associate professor of biology here on leave to direct the tribal project. Brando, who is part Indianhimself, said he is planning to produce a special documentary film which would depict "a more accurate" history of the American Indian and their relations with the federal government. The Lummi tribe wouldbe included in this film, he added. F i n g e r i n g a beaded headband-a gift from the tribe-Brando saidhe had received "expressions of great interest" by tribal leaders here. The actor would not speculatewhen the documentary would be filmed, but hinted that it may be filmed within a yearâ€”probably duringthe winter and spring. The two-hour film will be shown on a national television network during prime time, Brando added. He said he would produce the film through David Wolper P r o d u c t i o n s inHollywood. B r a n d o ' s visit went unannounced to the press, although he was tracked down for aninterview by the Front. ---------- Western Front - 1971 July 14 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Wednesday, July 14, 1971 Front Editorials.. " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted11 Photo By JEFFERSON BEAR ARCO's Responsibilty Within the month, we should hearfrom the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concerning the Atlantic Richfield Company's request todischarge effluent wastes into the Straits of Georgia off its new Cherry Point refinery near Femdale.Legally, it is apparent that the company has met all requirements for meeting permit conditions underexisting environmental laws, both state and national. Therefore, ARCO deserves to go ahead with theconstruction of its outfall. A delay in construction means a delay in job opportunities for a number of men. Whether they are local men or not makes no difference in this fouled up national economy. Besides, itis true that once the refinery goes "on stream," the county will receive an additional much-needed taxbase. But morally, the Atlantic Richfield Company should honor the sincere requests of concernedenvironmentalists, fishermen, outdoorsmen and plain citizenry to include the tertiary, or third stage, ofwaste treatment at the new refinery. The tertiary stage, currently employed at one of ARCO's ownrefineries in California, will reduce the potency of the effluent considerablyâ€”enough to partially satisfythe worries of Dr. Wallace Heath, director of the nearby Lummi Aquaculture Project. This additionalstage of treatment, which will cost ARCO about a million and a half dollars (cheap by refineryconstruction standards), involves filtering the effluent waste water through activated" charcoal, much likesmoke in a popular brand of cigarette. This is a cheap way for the Atlantic Richfield Company to knocksome of the environmentalists off its back, add to the clarity of its effluent, and bring a little "Good Guy"publicity to the beleagured oil industry. That's a cheap price to pay, considering the adverse publicreaction which may result if the company goes ahead with its proposed plans for pollution control.â€”John Stolpe Veterans and the Government Veterans have long believed that they, like the otherdisenfranchised peoples who live in poverty in this nation of monopolistic wealth, count for naught in thecounsels of the mighty. The Nixon administration, perhaps because so many veterans have soresoundingly denounced its policies, recently saw fit to cut back the already ,/inadequate medical careavailable to 'wounded soldiers. Men who had their legs blown off may now have even more difficultylearning how to walk again. "Nixon promoted the cutback as an economy move. Meanwhile thegovernment continues the war and uses the public treasury to fund the tokenistic anti-pollution activitiesof the lords of industrial filth (who should be made to pay for cleaning up the mess themselves, sincethey made it). Early this week the government's indifference came home to Bellingham. Amid bitterbitching spawned by empty stomachs and angry creditors, Gl Bill checks reached student-veteransseveral days late. Whether the tardiness resulted from a treasury bungle or the ineptitude of the newpostal system, it and the discomforts it caused are inexcusable. Let the government take note: There isone important difference between veterans and other disenfranchised peoples. The veterans are soldierswho earned their benefits in the service of a country they believed to be theirs. They are already angry,and they are becoming embittered. The government should listen to their complaints now and takeappropriate action . . . before they throw more than medals at the capitol building. â€”Loren BlissCampus Briefs Recycling Center People who are really concerned- with their environment are invited toaid in the recycling process by bringing their all-aluminum cans, flattened tin cans, newspapers andmagazines to a new "complete recycling center" cet up by the Huxley Environmental Reference Bureau(H.E.R.B.). The center is located at the Huxley College of Environmental Studies on the WWSC campusbehind Mitchell House at 303-21st Street. Spokesmen for the H.E.R.B. say their recycling center offersmany advantages not to be found at other recycling centers. These include: 1. "Service is not dependentupon brand; any glass, aluminum, or tin food and beverage container may be donated. Newspapers andmagazines are also included." 2. "Articles may be left anytime, behind Mitchell House, but only thedesignated material. 3. "All personnel are volunteers. Your patronage will enhance their efforts by helpingto improve this sorely needed public service." Frank Cunningham, H.E.R.B. spokesman, said that "allproceeds from the center will go to improving me operation," and that "eventually the center may be ableto pay for empty pop and beer bottles." Advance Fall Registration Advance registration for fall quarter1971 is on Wednesday, July 28, at the Edens Registration Center. New students enrolled for the firsttime this summer and returning or continuing students who did not advance register during last springquarter are eligible to register July 28; otherwise, they must wait until Sept. 28, according to RobertThirsk of the admissions office. Continuing students enrolled last spring quarter 1971 who did notadvance register and wish to register on July 28 must make application for re-admission for fall quarter inthe admissions office at least two days prior to July 28. A $50.00 advance registration fee must be madeon or within 15 days of the July 28 advance registration. Those students making application for re-admission must make the $50.00 advance payment at that time. Food Drive Western sociology students who are concerned with the plight of migrant farm workers in the Yakima area will be conducting a foodand clothing drive from June 30 through Aug. 6. The purpose of the drive is to provide sufficient food andclothing for the workers so that they will be able to strike Yakima farm growers for a reasonable wage.Last year a similar strike was thwarted by growers in the Yakima area because the migrant workers didnot have enough food and clothing to take care of their families during the strike period. Hunger forced the workers to return to work. July 29, the film "Huelga," a documentary on migrant workers will be shown at the Campus Christian Ministry. The time has not yet been announced. Collection points for food andclothing will be announced soon. Interested persons are urged to begin setting aside spare items rightaway. For information call 676-4970. Summer Enrollment Western's total summer enrollment for summerquarter 1971 is 2,922 students. This figure does not include students attending only workshops but doescount students attending both 9-week and 6-week courses. Summer quarter 1970 had an enrollment of2,752.

S.Commissioner of Education Raps Academic Conservatism Concepts Academic conservatism, likeSouthern racism, is a cesspool of non-facts, bad reasoning and silly theories. At bottom is theassumption that students are i n m a t e s of an asylum beneficently run by faculty and administration. It is that assumption, often barely hidden by the muck of byzantine argumentation, that isolates theacademic conservative from the critique students are making of contemporary higher education. Anacademic conservative can ignore the student critique because, as he sees it, students are necessarilyincompetent to make it. Academic conservatives remain in control of most A m e r i c a n colleges anduniversities. Therefore, students anxious to do more about reforming higher education than talk into avacuum often find themselves (a) doing something drastic to win the ear of those in p o w e r or (b)invoking authorities men in power find hard to ignore. In general, students end up choosing the firstalternative because there is rarely much authority to be invoked in their favor. Earl J. McGrath is anauthority. He is sixty-nine years old, was U.S. Commissioner of Education under Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, was President and Chancellor of the University of Kansas City for twelve years, and istoday D i r e c t o r of the Higher Education Center of Temple University. "Should Students Share thePower?" is an important book not so much because of its intrinsic merits as because McGrath, anacademic patrician, a man one would not expect to take a liberal view of student power, wrote it; in other words, this is a book to be quoted to faculty, not a book to be read seriously. The book's merits are few and quickly stated: -The clear and repeated assertion that "the primary consideration at this time ishow students can be more effectively involved in the deliberative and legislative bodies of institutions ofhigher learning." â€” A discussion of the voice-or-vote question, with the conclusion that students should constitute a third or two-fifths of the voting membership of most important committees. â€”An appendix,useful for making academic conservatives feel behind the times, containing results of a 1969 survey ofstudent participation in selected policy-making bodies of 875 A m e r i c a n colleges and universities.â€”A nine-page bibliography of recent articles, books and i n t e r n a l reports concerning studentparticipation in college and university governance. Against these merits must be weighed the book'smany faults. Some flaws are inevitable in a h u n d r e d - p a g e book that purports to be "a study of the student role in college and university governance." Much that should be examined at length is onlysketched, mentioned, or left out entirely. Thus, McGrath grants only ten pages to the development ofacademic government from the Middle Ages to the present, nine pages to Antioch's fifty-year experience with community government, nine pages to the r a t i o n a l e for s t u d e nt participation, five pages of o b j e c t i o n s to s t u d e nt participation and so on. He never gives a detailed description of studentparticipation in any American university, never even mentions student participation in Latin Americanuniversities (though that is a favorite topic of academic conservatives), and never considers the relation of student participation to the related question of (outside) community control. McGrath concludes thatthe student vote should always be less than half in any important deliberative or legislative body of acollege or university. He d o e s this thoughtlessly, repeating the standard faculty arguments, neverundertaking the documentation characteristic of his defense of student participation. His arguments,always baldly stated, are worth the study of anyone interested in the blindness of vanity. Let me give one instance. One of McGrath's arguments against running colleges and universities democratically is that"colleges and universities must have . . . a reasonably enduring set of purposes, programs, facultycomplement and general living conditions. (Since) many trustees and faculty members serve a collegeor university for most of their adult years . . . (while) . . . students . . . typically reside in an academiccommunity no longer than four years," he concludes that application of the principle of one-man-one-vote to educational institutions would make them too unstable to work effectively. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CAMPUS FORUM Campus Forum is an open column for anyone in the collegecommunity with something relevant to say.

Addressarticles to the Front, 315 Viking Union Building. By Raymond McLeod Chairman, Physics Dept. TheFaculty Professional Union was organized in April 1970 by a small group of faculty who felt thatindependent and positive action was necessary to speak out on institutional problems and issues andpropose and generate support for their solution. In August, 1970, we affiliated with the AmericanFederation of Teachers (A.F.T.), a large national union of teachers from all levels of public and privateeducation. Locally we are a part of the Washington State Federation of Teachers, this state's componentof AFT, though we work most directly with the College and University division which encompasses mostof the large community colleges and some of the four-year institutions. The advantages of national andstate affiliation are compelling. We influence national and state policy development and operations,though retaining autonomy at the local level. We also receive accurate information on trends ingovernmental decisions and policy formulation which affect higher education and which recently havebeen characterized by a continuing reduction in budgets in the face of increasing enrollments, byreductions in institutional autonomy, by huge increases in student fees and by direct attacks upon theacademic freedom of faculty and students. Through cooperation with other institutions and by enlistingthe support of other well-established groups, such as the United Labor Lobby which represents labor atthe state legislature, we can influence legislative attitudes and actions. Indeed during the last legislativesession we spoke strongly against the escalation of student fees and against many other bad pieces ofproposed legislation which would have infringed upon basic academic freedoms or would have producedeven greater budget reductions than we now face. We also supported the extension of collectivebargaining rights to the faculty of the four-year colleges and universities. It is peculiar that the faculty ofcommunity colleges as well as the non-academic staff members at all state education institutions areallowed to bargain collectively and have received significant increases in salary and benefits, while ourfaculty is specifically excluded from bargaining. In any case, we believe that only positive action on suchbasic issues can relieve and eventually reverse the current trend toward a lowering in the quality of higher education. On campus we have achieved, independently or cooperatively, a positive response by thefaculty toward collective bargaining, a new policy defining A fun-filled musical spoof of the Twenties.Music Auditorium Thursday thru Saturday 8:15 p.m. Sunday Matinee 2:30 p.m. Gen.

In these andin other matters we have often been faced with administrative opposition to the concept of fullinvolvement of the faculty in the process of policy development or of policy implementation. Specifically,direct representation by the Union to the Board of Trustees was necessary to protect the method used indismissing faculty for financial reasons and to ensure that an approved lay-off policy would be developed.We have opposed the buildup of more complex administrative structures, the wholesale reorganization of curricula and instructional units, the secrecy of policy decisions and budget allocations and, above all,the multitude of proposals which directly or indirectly would reduce further the relative amount of supportallocated to the instructional programs in the College. We find that the Union is not a lonely voice, butthat many non-union faculty as well as staff and students support our objectives. Our faculty membership is growing steadily.

The Council composed of twelve faculty members and four students and chaired by Fred Knapman, Dean of the College made the following decisions: October 27, theCouncil established a policy placing students on each of its standing and ad-hoc committees. November 10, the Council took the position that the four year character of the college should be maintained ifenrollment controls were established. January 19, the Council reviewed the administration's "OperationalPolicies for the Colleges of WWSC" setting guidelines for intercollege relationships, and the physicaleducation requirements were dropped from the General Education program. February 2, a new major inspecial education was approved. February 9, the procedure for academic complaints was streamlined by the addition of a two-week time limitation for each step. February 23, a minor in Canadian andCanadian-American Studies was approved. F e b r u a r y 26, the principle of an interdisciplinary student-faculty designed major was approved. March 2, a minor m East Asian Studies was approved, areconstituted elementary education major was approved and the report of the Committee on Area Studies was approved, p r o v i d i n g f a c u l t y - s t u d e n t designed interdisciplinary programs withemphasis on major world areas. March 9, the Council established policies governing the control ofenrollment into classes, with priorities given to majors and minors in departments satisfying the criteria.March 30, the number of credits required for graduation was reduced from 192 to 180. April 6, therequirement of a minor was made optional. April 20, after a thorough review, the Council essentiallyrejected the Report of the Curriculum Commission, especially -Section I, Curricular Reorganization. May11, the Council indicated its approval of a one-track grading system, but after a thorough analysis of thegrading system found insufficient support to warrant a change. May 18, the Council stipulated that the"K" grade would remain on a student's transcript for up to one calendar year, and if not removed wouldthen become a permanent part of the record. May 18, the General Studies Department proposal for amajor in liberal studies was approved. May 25, the Council took the position that proposals for changesin the curricular structure of the College should not be taken to the Board of Trustees unless priorapproval of appropriate councils and committees of the College had been received. May 26, the Counciladvised the President as to its position regarding budgetary cuts and academic program reductions.June 1, the Council approved the efforts of the Elementary Teacher Education Task Force and authorizedthem to proceed with implementation of the proposed new program which would, among other things,integrate the general education studies of elementary education students with their professional andelective studies, and finally, the Council eliminated the final examination schedule.

Rahm, who bears a striking resemblance to actorRobert Morse, does his stunt flying mainly at airshows, various festivals and public events. At the recentair show held at the Bellingham Airport, where he was one of the main events, Rahm explained how hewent from the classroom to the cockpit. He learned to fly in 1960 as part of his job as a geologyprofessor. He felt he could give his students a better perspective of the nature of geology by taking themon flying field trips around the Pacific Northwest. Rahm usually rents a four-seater aircraft to take trips to such geologically interesting places as Wenatchee, the Cascades, and Mt. Baker, one of his favoriteplaces to study geology. "The great thing about flying is that all these places are less than an hour or soaway from Bellingham; it really gives great mobility," he pointed out. Rahm began his stunt flying about1965 when he "really got serious" about the sport. He learned to do the maneuvers "one at a time" withthe aid of some instruction books. The plane Rahm uses for his stunt flying reminds one of somethingthe Red Baron of WW I fame might have used. It is, in fact, a 1963 production model Bucher-Jungmanntwo-seater biplane, which was constructed in a little factory in Germany. Rahm termed it the"Volkswagen" of airplanes because there have been virtually no changes in the design of it since the1930's. This type of plane was used at one time to train German pilots. Rahm's plane, which he acquiredlast summer, is very rare. He said that with all its modification, he believes it is the only one of its kind."There is one similar to it somewhere up in British Columbia, but that is the only one I know of," he said. Rahm had great praise for his highly modified plane. He called it an "almost perfect aerobatic airplane,"and said that "among airplanes, it is the most sensitive, accurate plane I've ever flown." He said that thelittle plane, which cruises at 140 knots and which can dive to upwards of 300 knots,is "built like a bridge," but that it is still an "honest airplane with honest feel, a real thoroughbred among airplanes." Heexplained that he prefers to use a biplane for his stunt flying because it gives him more mobility, moreleverage and a greater rate of roll for his maneuvers. The cute little white biplane with gold and blacksunbursts on the wings has in itself a very interesting story. It was originally purchased by Miro Slovakwho gained fame wnen he commandeered an airliner to escape from his native Czechoslovakia in the1950's and who later gained additional fame as an airplane racer and unlimited hydroplane driver. Eventhough the plane has been Americanized, it still bears a gold lion on the tail which represents a Czechcoat of arms. Slovak owned the plane for four years and then sold it to Ernest Gann, the highly acclaimed aviation author who has written "The High and the Mighty," "Fate Is the Hunter," "In the Company ofEagles," the recent best-seller, "The Antagonists" and "Island in the Sky" which is in fact the name ofRahm's plane. "Gann painted that name on the nose and I liked it so it is still there," he explained. Gann and Rahm had met through their stunt flying activities and when Gann mentioned that he was selling theplane, Rahm jumped at the opportunity to buy it. With some help from the Sudden Valley people, whoare now his sponsors, he was able to purchase the plane. It is a fairly expensive plane, and Rahm said, "I as a professor couldn't afford it, but with their help, I paid about $17,500 for it and believe me that was areal steal. Among the various maneuvers that Rahm does for an aifshow, his favorite is one in which heflies the plane in level 360-degree circles while at the same time the plane is doing slow rolls in theopposite direction of the turn, or he can do the same 360 degree turn and then roll left for a quarter of theturn, right for a quarter and so on. He said the one maneuver that the crowd really likes is a heart-stopping Czechoslovakian tumbling maneuver called a Loncevak where the airplane goes through anoutside snap roll and another maneuver and eventually winds up snapping head over tail about threetimes before it comes back under control. Rahm said this is accomplished by using the controls in such a manner that he "foois" the airplane, and the plane sort of "explodes" out of control. "You see thehorizon come wrapping around a few times," he explained, "but actually it is not a dangerous maneuver ifdone with enough altitude. I usually lose about 500 feet while waiting for the plane to decide to comeback under control." Another maneuver that excites the crowd is one called the tailslide. Here Rahm fliesthe plane straight up until it stalls, it slides back in its path on its tail until he recovers it in a tailslidewhipstall maneuver. Rahm also does other maneuvers that are guaranteed to make the heart beat fasterand the kiddies grasp their parents' hands a little tighter. Among these are the Hammerhead, Inside andOutside maneuvers, which force both positive and negative G forces on him in a matter of seconds andone called the Vertical Eight maneuver. Rahm has been busy this year flying his way i n to shape for theNational Aerobatic Championships this coming October in Oakgrove, Texas. He has performed at theWenatchee Apple Blossom Festival, at Bellingham's own Blossom Time Festival and at Port Angeles.He is planning to perform this summer at Everett's Paine Field, the Tri-Cities Waterfollies, Powell Riverand Abbotsford, B.C., over the Seattle Seafair hydro races and then some competition flying inWisconsin just before the beginning of fall quarter. Rahm explained that he expects the competition inthe Nationals will be "very tough." "This is a fast growing sport in which the caliber of competition hasbeen getting better every year," he said. On the instrument panel in his cockpit, Rahm has taped therequired maneuvers for the 1971 Championships. These, along with two free style maneuvers of thepilot's choice and a required compulsory maneuver that "is handed out that morning and has to be donewithout any practice," are the basis forjudging the competition. Rahm said that the judges, ex-aerobaticpilots with "very critical eyes," award points while judging maneuvers for rhythm and centering. And asone would have guessed, he added, an aerobatic pilot is "not allowed too many big mistakes: you try tofly within the limits that you know you can."

Vol. 64 No. 29 Western Washington State College Feb. 18, 1972 Underpilings underlie library woesby STEPHANIE SMITH Staff Reporter While workmen are still hurrying completion of the Wilson libraryaddition, lawyers are negotiating claims regarding failure to meet the completion deadline. Thenegotiations are not slowing the present work and are considered a normal procedure, according tocampus planner Barney Goltz. The disagreement goes back to time lost in installation of theunderpilings before the foundation was laid. The last contract completion date recognized by the college was Nov. 11, with a few days extension still to be added to allow for bad weather. Cawdrey and Vemo,Inc., general contractors for the project, claim they should be granted added extensions and money fortime spent installing the underpilings. The architect's original specifications called for pilings of closedsteel pipe filled with c o n c r e t e . The contractor claimed the plans could not be followed as drawn,and proposed what was termed an equally efficient and less expensive method. The contractorinstructed the s u b - c o n t r a c t o r , Willamette Western, to install auger-cast piles. Several of theauger-cast pilings were installed at the end Due to be completed last November, work continues onWilson Library addition. Photo by JIM THOMSON of the library near the Humanities Building and thelecture halls. Two were tested and found to support 140 tons, twice the designed load, according toRodney Broome, project engineer for Cawdrey and Vemo. He added that this is the usual test used inthis situation. The college inspectors cited objections, such as the fact that they could not inspect thebottom of the drill hole. They judged the work unsatisfactory and told the contractor to return to theoriginal specifications. The contractors complied, but, Broome said, the college accepted five of theauger-cast piles. They are now supporting part of the library. Thirty-seven piles were installed using theoriginally specified closed-steel pipe, but there were difficulties with them, according to Broome. He said the last 26 piles were put in using a method very similar to the one recommended by Cawdrey andVemo. The issue, according to both Broome and Goltz, is whether the college was justified in refusingthe suggestion and telling the contractor to return to use of the method originally specified. Cawdreyand Vemo is asking the college to extend the contract completion deadline date by the number of daysused to install these underpilings and to pay for material and labor costs connected with the delay. Anextension of the contract completion deadline is crucial because of a contract clause which givesWestern the option of retaining liquidated damages (compensation for losses caused by a misseddeadline). This is a fixed sum of money, in this case $300, for each day after the deadline that the workremains uncompleted.
