CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [3] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER NOVEMBER, 1905 THE B. S. N. S.-FROM 1891 TO 1905 THE first definite step taken toward the establishment of a state normal school at Bellingham, or rather Whatcom as it was then called, was the introduction by the Hon. Michael Anderson of a bill providing for its establishment. The bill provided simply that the school be located somewhere in Whatcom county and that a commission of three men be appointed to select a suitable location. The land finally selected by the commission, consisting of Gov. John H. McGraw, Geo. E. Atkinson, and W. H. Bateman, was a tract located on the northwesterly side of Sehome hill between the cities of Fairhaven and Whatcom. The donators of this land were the Bellingham Bay Improvement Co., the Fairhaven Land Co., and the heirs of the Lysle estate. Gov. McGraw vetoed the first appropriation for the erection of a building. The first money appropriated was $40,000 by the legislature of 1895 for the erection of the original building. The first board of trustees were Major Eli Wilkins of Fairhaven and Hon. R. C. Higginson and Hon. J. J. Edens of Whatcom. A third appropriation, that of 1897, suffered the fate of the first, a veto, and the building was unoccupied for two years. The legislature of 1899 appropriated $33,- 500 for equipment and maintenance of school. With this money the campus was cleared and fenced, sidewalks built, the building furnished, laboratories fitted up, the library opened with one thousand volumes and many other necessary items furnished. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger The first faculty was installed in the spring of 1899. There were six members, three of whom, Dr. E. T. Mathes, Mr. John T. Forrest and Mr. F. W. Eply, are still doing good work for the institution. The other members of that first faculty were Miss Jane Connell, Miss Avadana Millet and Miss Sarah Rogers. Circulars of information were distributed throughout the western part of the state and the informal opening exercises were conducted September 6, 1899. The opening address was made by Judge Jere Neterer, president of the board of trustees. Mayor Hardin, of Whatcom, and Mayor Clark, of Fairhaven, also spoke. The enrollment the first day amounted to 160 young people. And it is interesting to note that all classes and all courses were included in the daily program made out for the first year's work. At the end of the first month the number of students had increased to 230, necessitating the addition of three more members to the faculty. Miss Ida Baker, Miss Catharine Montgomery and Robert B. Vail were chosen. Of these, Miss Baker and Miss Montgomery still remain. The first year's graduating class numbered eight young ladies;.graduates from the elementary course receiving five-year certificates were sixteen in number. During the summer of 1900, the citizens of Bellingham Bay provided funds enough to finish five more rooms and to add three members to the faculty. Miss Tromanhauser succeeded Miss Rogers as supervisor of the training school. The senior class of 1901 contained 29 members, the corps of practice teachers about 50. The legislature of 1901 appropriated $93,800 for the building of an annex and the maintenance of the school for two years. The school year beginning September, 1901, found the school with a faculty of fifteen members, a much larger number of ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger students, the annex built, the laboratories enlarged, the library improved, the museum arranged, etc. Since then the work of the institution has advanced steadily. Each summer new improvements in the grounds and equipments have been made. The library at the present time contains 8,000 volumes and the museum 5,000 specimens. The building has furnished 72 rooms, which include a large auditorium, 3 laboratories, a well furnished gymnasium, fitted with hot, cold and shower baths and dressing rooms, a society hall, a Y. W. C. A. room, library, museum, office, faculty reception room, professional library and work room, manual training rooms, lunch hall, recitation rooms, and cloak rooms. The average annual attendance for the first six years was 303. For the past two summers mid-year sessions have been held and regular work offered. The legislature appropriated in 1903, $83,- 000, $9,000 of which was used for the completion of the annex. The appropriation for 1905 was $80,000. The most important recent improvement was the building of the new dining hall. The old dining hall was moved to a site south of the annex and more than doubled in size. It now contains a large public parlor, a private parlor, and three living rooms on the first floor, in addition to the dining room, kitchen, pantry and closets. The second and third floors have been devoted to sleeping rooms, bath rooms and a large trunk room. A furnished laundry occupies the basement. Each of the sleeping rooms is provided with steam heat, electric light, table, chairs, bed lounge, pillows, dresser, rug and window shades. Other furnishings are provided by the occupants of the rooms. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger The boarding department of the dining hall is conducted upon the club plan, and all regular boarders will be given a voice in the management of the club. The lecture courses provided by the Normal have become a feature of the literary life of the school and have been well patronized by the citizens of Bellingham. The cost of the lecture course tickets is nominal. The lecture course includes each year historical, scientific and ethical subjects. The year 1905 has opened very auspiciously for the school. The faculty, originally six in number, are now nineteen. Dr. Mathes has consented to remain with the institution for the number of years for which he was recently re-elected. Mr. H. G. Lull has succeeded Miss Tromanhauser as supervisor of the training school. Miss Sperry, Miss Miller, Miss Gray and Mrs. Smith are also new teachers. In every department the work is being carried on vigorously and thoroughly. The rapid progress of the school may well be considered remarkable, but several conditions have combined to make it possible. Among these should be mentioned the need which was felt in the western part of the state for a normal school, and the harmony which has always existed between legislature and trustees, trustees and faculty, faculty and students, and, last but not least, the kindly support given by the people of the state. "06." A POEM The fabled muses are again loose on earth and have been haunting the halls of our "Majestic Normal,"1 as the following eulogistic- elegy or elegystic-eulogy would indicate. The author, although not an expert in "feet" and "metre," has the true poetic spirit and is un-erring in his (?) choice of lofty themes. Oh, what is so rare as Dr. Jack ? There are dozens of girls upon his track, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 And his modest cheek turns a dainty red Whenever he hears a woman's tread; For he knows that Cupid with his darts Is searching for tender and manly hearts. So his maiden heart beats high with fear When assembly hour is drawing near. With trembling limbs he mounts the stage, This martyr of the Schlolastic Age! And the kindly curtain shields his face From a hundred women's brazen gaze. Was man e'er known to suffer so? Cans't 'magazine a heavier load of woe Upon a mortal here below ? It may ne'er be sung, and may ne'er be said, The burthen of this kinky head. But when this modest man is dead And all his eulogies are said, I pray thee come and drop a tear Upon his sweet, untimely bier; And read these words— There lieth here one whom the world too rudely pressed, A man with all the charms possessed But his sweet young life was worn away, And his sunny curls turned an early grey, Because the unfeeling world would look At his charming face. So the sweet flower drooped 'neath the scorching Sun And Dr. Jack's short race was run. SIRIUS SOCIETY NOTES AIMS OF OUR SOCIETY As we are beginning a new year and many of us are new to the work of the S. L. S., it is fitting that we discuss briefly the ends toward which we, as a unit and as individuals, are working. It should be remembered that first and foremost, we call ourselves a literary society. Let us then be in fact a literary society, our object being to raise literary ideals of our members by teaching appreciation of, and by encouraging the production of literary gems. (?) Do not smile, kind reader, diamond cutting takes time and who will say what talent is to be found within the Sirius Literary Society ? There is hardly one of us but what feels, constantly, an inability to express thought in a clear, concise, logical sequence. Our so- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger ciety, by giving drill in debating, impromptu speaking, etc., tries to help its members to a more complete mastery of their mother tongue. This is a result well worth striving for, for upon our ability to use language depends, in a large measure, our growth, peda-gogically speaking. The culture of a nation is measured by the flexibility of its language, that is, by its power to express subtle shades of meaning. As individuals we may rest assured that our culture will be measured by the same standard. In close connection with fluency of speech we find fluency of voice. How much may be expressed by one sound uttered in varying tones. Tone lends color, life, soul, to spoken words. Histrionic ability is sought for and encouraged in recitations, essays, etc. We all know that "music hath charms" and we seek them. Many of our members are familiar with the masters, and those of us who are not, attend Miss Moore's classes. Just a word as to the social side. It pervades the entire work, making a unit of many minds working harmoniously towards the same end. As one, we enjoy our Friday sessions. Officers of the Sirius Literary Society: President Miss Nellie Thompson Vice-President Miss May Sloan Secretary Miss Helen Miller Treasurer Mr. Chas. Jones Sargeant-at-arms Miss Selma Glineburg The first meeting in the year 1905-06 of the Sirius Literary Society was held September 29. The program was short but very interesting. Miss Walda Wall recited in her usual interesting way; a piano solo by Miss Allen was well received. Miss Ellis and Miss Lewis rendered an instrumental duet with the skill we always expeet from them. An impromptu debate on the subject, Resolved: That coeducation be abolished, was decided in favor ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 of the negative, for which we girls aredevotly thankful, the opinions of the boys to the contrary not-with-standing. We really hope that we will not have a bad influence upon the young men of the institution. THE CLIONIAN SOCIETY The Clionian society this year numbers about one hundred and twenty-five members, of whom fifty-five are new students, whom we are glad to welcome. The society is planning to do some strong work this winter, though as yet there have been no carefully prepared programs, owing to the lack of time and the election of a new program committee. The officers of the society for the first quarter are as follows: President Miss Judith Hawes Vice-President Miss Lena Smith Secretary Miss Isabelle Holt Treasurer Mr. R. A. Moore Sargeant-at-Arms Miss Minnie Osberg Reporter Miss Mildred Wilson Pianist Miss Floy Sullivan Program Committee Miss Whitaker, Chairman, Miss Pearl Perine, Miss Frankie Sullivan, Miss Tressie Flesher, Miss Minnie LeSourd. THE YOUNG MEN'S DEBATING CLUB At a special meeting of a few members of last year's Debating Club, it was decided to carry on the work of the club. As only a few members had returned to school an invitation was extended to all the new young men to become members. A few accepted the invitation and signed the constitution. This increased the membership to sixteen of the most active young men in school. At the same special meeting the following officers were elected for a term of one month: Mr. Nichols, president; Mr. Cory, vice-president; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger Mr. Scanell, secretary; Messrs. Smith, Tibbies and Anderson, program committee, and Mr. Montgomery, sargeant-at-arms. The first regular meeting was held the following Thursday and a good program was rendered. As the purpose of the club is to cultivate ease and freedom in speaking, debates and impromptus are always given a prominent place on the program. To make the programs more interesting and for the sake of variety, essays, descriptions, invectives, orations, dialogues, declamations and songs are often given. Up to the present time all who have taken part in the program have shown a commendable spirit and if this spirit and activity is kept up we hope soon to be recognized as the third society of the school. Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of about six hundred student societies in this country affiliated with the national movement. It aims to unite all the young women of the school in mutual helpfulness as they strive to follow the teachings of the Master. By this Christian fellowship it aims to foster and promote the spiritual life of the student body. Through the training in Christian work which the association offers, through the summer conferences and through the help and inspiration received from the visits of the student secretaries and its weekly devotional meetings, it helps to send out of the school Christian women whose lives shall be a vital force working for all that is deepest and best in life. The Young Women's Christian Association is not a substitute for the obligation one owes to the church of her choice, but joins more closely one class of people of all sects or no sect who have the same interests and the same problems and the same temptations as they seek to put into practice the teachings of Christ. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 The Y. W. C. A. desires to be of real service in the school in the way of helping new students and in being ready at all times to lend a hand. It is just because we students are so crowded with science and history, mathematics and language, methods, practice, physical culture and society; because we are removed from the restraints of home and thrown upon our own resources; because we are strangers in the churches, that we need this closer bond to keep our spiritual life apace with the intellectual—to keep both well poised, to make them steady in purpose and to give beauty of character. Because the Y. W. C. A. has come to fill this place in college life, it has won the devotion of thousands of the best students in the land. The officers of the Y. W. C. A. this year are: President, Minnie Carver; Vice-President, Ethel Cook; Secretary, Walborg Olson; Treasurer, Minnie LeSourd. ATHLETICS Rickety! Zippity! Rickety! Zap! The Athletic Season is on Now that the necessary red tape of organization is over, work has begun in earnest. The Association officers for the season are: President, Sarah L. Van Reypen; vice-president, Ray Montgomery; secretary and treasurer, Belle Holt; athletic editor, Nellie Appleby. Interest at present is centered upon the winter sports of basket ball and foot ball, but until now little has been accomplished in either line. Foot ball seems to be hampered, as various other Normal affairs often are, by a scarcity of young men; but it is to be hoped the ability and faithful practice evidenced are not to be wasted through unlucky circumstances. On account of the heavy study program, the ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger Seniors will not be able to take as active a part as usual in the basket ball of this semester, but expect to enter the contest for the Kline cup. Miss Mildred Wilson has been chosen as manager of'06 team. The Junior class teams have been organized and are practicing regularly. Manager Frances Coburn expects to have a good team as there are strong players from several well known High School teams to re-iuforce last year's line-up. The present line-up is: Forwards—Miss Johnson, Miss Pillman, Miss Goldthwaite, Miss Crocker, Miss O'Farrel. Guards—Miss Perkins, Miss Coleman, Miss Appleby, Miss Moyer, Miss Corbet. Centers—Miss Stanley, Miss Sloan. With the two upper class teams and those being organized in the lower classes, an interesting contest for the "Kline Cup" is expected. Until the teams are selected and have had some practice no schedule can be arranged between the various managers, but the degree of class spirit now in evidence foreshadows an eager contest. SENIORS The present Senior class will, without doubt, be the "banner" graduating class of the Bel-lingham Normal, for we already have a membership of 47 and there are still others planning to enter next semester, which will probably swell our numbers to over half a hundred. Soon after school opened the class met and elected the following officers: President Jessie Scott Cowing Secretary Lena Smith Treasurer : Georgie Ellis Associate Editor Luella N. C. Whitaker Basket Ball Manager Mildred Wilson Our Senior class have caught the true Bel- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 linghara spirit and although they cannot do much toward the subsidy plan or the electric sign on Sehome hill, yet they can unite their efforts to advertise the town, and that is what they are planning to do. They have designed and will soon place on the market a fine lot of novel Bellingham hat pins. These pins will be just the thing to send to eastern friends for Christmas gifts, for they will represent beauty, utility and best of all—your city. As soon as the order can be filled you will find them for sale by every enterprising, home-loving merchant of the city who carries that line of goods at all. First come, first served. THE CRY OF THE SENIORS Little we ask for our wants are few, Our one great want is now well known Just one very plain little boy will do— A boy we can call our own.—Snap. COME EARLY AND AVOID THE RUSH Old gold, old gold, old gold Or new gold if you will, Old gold, old gold, old gold Old gold is our color still.—Snip. Miss Fogg is developing the word rear in the primary department of the training school—used it in several sentences. Firmly believing that she had performed her duty, she said: "Johnnieyou may use the word rear in a sentence." Johnnie replied—"I have a rear." Oh this is the trial of the Juniors In mourning they wish to be, Are they mourning in black for the white Man Or in white for the heathen Chinee? Now this is a puzzel for teachers To find out what the Juniors be, Can weclass them in with the white Man Or in with the yellow Chinee.—Snip. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Normal Messenger THE SENIOR RECEPTION One of the most pleasant and successful student affairs that has been given since the founding of the institution, was the reception given by the Senior class on Friday evening, October 6. The society hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and made a most attractive and home-like reception room. Two interesting corners were the Japanese corner and the Indian corner. A table full of curios brought by Miss Horner from the Hawaiian Islands and some photographs loaned by Dr. Mathes were of interest to all. The guests of the class, about two hundred and fifty in number, were received at the head of the stairs by the reception committee. Many students and friends of the school were present, but over half the faculty were conspicuous by their absence. Music, rendered by different members of the class, made a pleasant undercurrent to conversation throughout the evening. The program was unique and pleasing, consisting of the following numbers. Solo Miss Frankie Sullivan Pantomime..Miss Krausse, Miss Van Reypen Tableau A Modern Romeo Miss Flesher, Miss Graham, Miss Van Reypen Tableau The Three Stages Miss Glineburg and Miss Peek Miss Krausse and Miss Van Reypen made the hit of the evening in their Pantomime, The Modern Romeo was so true to life that it made the girls homesick. To appropriate music, selected, arranged, and played by Miss Geogie Ellis, Miss Glineburg moved through the three stages in a bachelor's life, "Single Blessedness" as he dreams over his paper, "Less Blessed" as he vainly attempts to sew on a button and "Blessed Indeed" when a little wife keeps him company in the evening. Fruit punch and wafers were served by ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 15 ---------- The Normal Messenger 15 members of the class in the Y. W. C. A. room. The punch table, strewn with ivy and nasturtiums, stood under a canopy of old gold bunting twined with ivy. The Y. W. C. A. room was decorated in old gold bunting and golden maple leaves. THIRD YEARS Hi-ho-mine! Hi-ho-mine! Bellingham Normal 1909, Along the line They can't outshine The skookum class 1909. President Walter Nichols Vice-President Dorothy Jennings Secretary and Treasurer Ethel Cook Sargeant-at-arms Herman Smith ||: Brek-a-ke-kex, Quax! Quax! :|| Third Year. ALUMNI A member of our staff visited the Skagit County Teachers' Institute last week and recognized among the assembly the following ex-students and alumni: Julia Argus, Alice Kellogg, Evelyn Kirkpatrick, Loretta 0'- Laughlin, Elsie Ware, Helen and Edna Whitney, Gertrude Bigelow, Edith Austin, Myrl Hays, Edith Trafton, Grace Dickey, Josie Little, Lottie Graham, Burton Doran and Mabel Steen. It is the work of such teachers as the above that causes the superintendent and principals of Skagit county to look to our Normal school to supply them with assistants. Institute week brought many familiar faces back among us. Several alumni were seen wandering through the halls of their Alma Mater. Miss Mary McBride, '01, and Miss Hattie Pratt, '02, visited the primary department of the training school during institute week. Miss Statira Biggs, '03, is a senior at the U. of W. this year. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 16 ---------- 16 The Normal Messenger Miss Elsie E. Ware, one of our elementaries of '04, is teaching another 9 months term of school at LaConner. Miss Ware is one of Skagit county's most successful teachers and ranks high in her chosen field of labor. Miss Mary E. Patric of the class of '03 visited the Normal last week. Miss Patric is first primary teacher at Monroe this year, while other members of the same faculty are Alice Carmen, '03, Bessie J. Lloyd and Annie Noble. They have a fine basket ball team at Monroe composed wholly of teachers. Sometimes when we look over the names and recall the familiar faces of the Alumni we cannot keep the following little stanza from chasing through and through our mind: All are scatted now and fled, Some are married, some are dead, And when we ask with throbs of pain Oh, when shall we all meet again ? The ancient timepiece makes reply, "never." Although first half of the second line seems almost an "ad absurdum" when thought of in connection with normal girls, yet injustice we must say that it sometimes does happen, for example Miss Ida Pillman, '03, became Mrs. W. E. Townsend last June and is now living at South Bend, Indiana; and Miss Anna Risley, an elementary of '04, gave up a promising career as a pedagog to unite her interests and fortune with that of Dr. Geo. Boyd, a brilliant young physician of Palouse. Others have "scattered and fled" to the following places: Jessie Jamieson, '05, teaching at East Sound; Florence Sears, '04, teacher at Snohomish; Jessie Lawrence, '02, german and mathematics in Snohomish high school; Lucy Vestal, '03, and Eva Comegy, '02, grade work in Snohomish; Ethel Hunt, '03, teaching in high school at Colfax, Wash.; Gertrude Streator, '02, student atU.of W.; Lillian Burke, '05, teaching at Snohomish; Emma Gruber, '03, is at her home in Winlock—not ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page 17 ---------- The Normal Messenger 17 teaching; Emma Dubuque, elementary of '02, wielding the birch and chalk at Snohomish; Edith York, fourth and fifth grades at Wallace; Effie Rear, '03, Granite Falls; Helen Collins, fifth grade a t Kirkland; Bess Darland, '04, Custer; Mrs. Anna Temple, '03, first primary at Chehalis; Gertrude Smith, '03, Everett; Myrtle Alexander, teaching near Snohomish; Ruby Smith at Downs, Lincoln county; Cassie Gifford, '05, a t Robe; Ethel Everett, '04, Custer; and Myrl Hays, '05, is guiding the intellectual development of the seventh grade at Sedro-Woolley. JUNIORS PRAYER Give us of your poise, O Seniors ! Give us of your knowledge, also, Of your power of penetration,— Of your power to see through us. We, as little lambs, will follow Up the path if you will guide us, To the summit of the mountain Known to men as "Hill of Knowledge." We are young, our footsteps shakey, We are weak, our hearts are quakey. You are like the sun above us,— Like the shining orb of heaven To point out and light our pathway Up the Mount of Understanding, To the goal of Normal Wisdom, By your loving grace, O guide us ! JOKES 1. Frequently heard in Junior roll call— "Miss McClure, er-rather, Mr. McClure?" Because there are no boys in the Senior class is no reason to doubt that the Juniors have three. 2. Oh!

We are justly proud of our paper, not for itself alone, but because it stands as a representatives of one of the foremost Normal schools in the northwest. We extend congratulations to every one who has been instrumental in raising and maintaining the standard now prevailing in both school and paper. It is our intention this year to publish eight numbers of the NORMAL MESSENGER, beginning with this—our first issue. We gratefully appreciate the support given us, through our advertisers — for them we bespeak your patronage—without their support we could not publish a monthly paper.

Oh, poet grand, well hast thou said, J s "rush in where angels fear to tread." When reading these pages keep in mind the fact that we are but amateurs and offer your criticisms as you would if you were in the other fellow's place. LOCALS In the early part of July Miss Rose Wilson, who did substitute work in the English department last year, was married to Mr. Clarence Heuson, vice-principal of a New Orleans school. The jroung couple toured the southern states and are now at home in New Orleans. Let the watch word of each old and each new student be,—Do your best. During the teachers' institute week many old faces were welcomed to our school. Miss Van Reypen went to Seattle to see Ben Hur; while there she paid a visit to the University. The old students who know one of our former teachers, Mrs. C. N. Chaplin, nee Miss M. U. Myers, will be pleased to know that a baby boy came to gladden their home in September. The hearty congratulation of the students are extended, and best wishes for the health, wealth and happiness to the heir. Ben Phelps and Gordon March, Normal boys of the last year, students of the University at present, came up to attend the Senior reception. Miss Ada Hogle and Miss Lena Dodd took a pedimotor trip to Lake Padden one Sunday. The "fierce Kabibonokka issued his lodge of snow-drifts" and made us an unbidden visit one day last week. Everyone but the Cherry Seniors seemed chilled by his icy presence, but nothing short of a "midnight minstrel" can phase a Senior. Miss Edna France went to Seattle to see Ben Hur. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1905 November - Page [vi] ---------- ADVERTISEMENTS MORSE HDW. 60. 1025-1039 ELK ST.

The collection, considered to be the largest and most varied of its kind ever assembled, wasmade avails able through the efforts of J. Mogensen, Danish Vice Consul in San Francisco, Arthur Trace To Lecture Here Dr. Arthur S. Trace, author of "What Ivan Knows That Johnny Doesn't", will give acomplimentary lecture at Western Washington State College Monday based on the content of hisbook. Arthur Trace Trace's book, published last year, compares text materials in reading, literature,foreign lan-jguages, history and geography Jin the Soviet Union and the s United States. His lecture isset for 8:15 p. m. in the college auditorium. He will follow it up at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday by appearing on apanel to discuss reading content and comprehension in the two nations. in who had the works flownin from Denmark and asr sembled them in the collection. The exhibit is titled "Danish Daily Life InGraphics." and includes works in advertising posters and poster stamps (miniature posters used asletterheads and letter seals), advertising mobiles, displays, greeting cards, and wrapping paper. Thereare also posters made of reproductions of works by artists such as Klee, Chagall, Michaux andothers. In a letter Mogensen said that since the showing, about ten years ago, of 130 Danish,posters inseveral large American cities, "graphic art has stepped modestly aside, and repeated successfulexhibits in the U. S. of Danish furniture, silver and textiles may have left the art-interested Americanpublic with the false impression that our graphic design and industry is on a lower level than our otherarts and crafts, or even worse: not worth showing." "The Danish Lithographers Guild and the DanishConsulate General in San Francisco are deeply grateful to the Graphic Arts Department at Western forhaving given them the opportunity to dispel that misapprehension at least in a certain measure,"Mogensen said. The 200 works are designed to give the viewer an idea of the artistic quality, humor and vitality of graphic art in Denmark today. On discovering that the collection was being assembled,the San Francisco Museum asked that they be allowed to put it on permanent display. The exhibitwill be here throughout the summer session. Financial Aids Along with the many new departmentsand new official functions being established for the next year, one has been set up that should providethe student with a well-organized and efficient, method, pÂ£ getting money;. William Hatch, agraduate fro,m Western with many years of counseling and advising behind him, has been . installedas the: new.Finjmqiai; Aids Officer. Hatch graduated. from Western .in 1943, ^[ith; a, major, inppuhseiing.:and.guidance. 'He received his M.A. ,from;,GJarÂ«mont College in,-; California;. Afterteaching for sevei^u. , :yearsr in jjijaipr and ^senior l\igh schools in California, he moved to Everett,Wash. Prior -to coming to Western, Hatch was head of counseling at Mountlake Terrace High Schoolnorth of Seattle. The complex system of loaning money will be moved behind WWSC To HostGraphic Arts Educators Noted authorities in the field of Graphic Arts, educators, printers, editorsâ€”allwill come together Sunday to begin the week-long conference of the International Graphic Arts EducationAssociation. Over 300 members of the lt; IGAEA are expected to attend, making this the largestconference in its 37-year history. Representatives from 28 states; two territories, four countries, and27 colleges and universities will be attending the conference, held for only the second time on the WestCoast. Santa Barbara hosted the graphic artists five years ago. There are several reasons, accordingto Dr. Ray Schwalm, head of Western's Graphic Arts Department and chairman of the conference, whyWestern was successful in drawing the largest conference attendance yet recorded. The main reason, Schwalm feels, is the number of noted speakers to appear on the program. Major speakers on theprogram include Faber Birren, color consultant; David White-fprd, .vice president of. Wniteford PaperCompany of New York; Stephen Baker, creative designer; : and Richard Coyne, art director andeditor. , Birren, who has published 16 books on color and who is considered to be the world'sauthority on color, will present one of the major lectures of the conference at 8:15 p. m. Tuesday inthe auditorium as part of the summer Concert-Lecture series. Birren studied at the Univers i ty ofChicago "and the Chicago Art Institute. He has been a professional color consultant since 1934-. Histalk Tuesday is titled, "The Relation of Color to Form and Function." The major speakers will appearin seminars and discussions throughout the week. In Wrestling this door, just a few steps away fromthe main entrance of Old M.

You possiblydon't recall that on July 27. 1958. the thermometer hit a record 102 degrees, the hottest, everrecorded by William S. Perry, official U*. S. Weather Observer. During a three-day stretch lastyear, July 11. 12 and 13. the mercury hovered at 95, 99 and 93 degrees. With Monday of this weeklisted as the warmest day of the year so far, the temperature hit 87. Sunday was second warmestwith 85 degrees recorded, and Tuesday was a comfortable 84. Summer isn't over, we hope. There havebeen no 90 degree temperatures yet to give Perry's thermometer a workout. Swedish Film, 'Brink OfLife/ Last In Series Sweden provides the setting for the dramatic film, "Brink of Life," the last of thesummer Foreign Film series, at 7:30 p. m. Sunday in this auditorium. The film, directed by IngmarBergman, portrays the story of three women awaiting the births of their children in a hospital maternityward One, an intellectual looking forward to her child to save her crumbling marriage, loses it ih amiscarriage. Another, an unmarried adolescent, has already tried an unsuccessful aborcion. Thethird, presented as the essence of maternal womanhood, loses her child in protracted labor â€” ascene that won actress Eva Dahl-beck the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival. The second feature on the program will present three films starring Charlie Chaplin. All four of the majorspeakers, along with members of Western's faculty, will appear in a symposium at 7:00 p. m.Wednesday in the Auditorium-Music Building to discuss the "Impact of Color and MotivationalResearch on Graphic Arts Products and the Consumer." Included as speakers in the symposium areDr. Graham Collier and Dr. Herbert Taylor of Western's faculty. Dr. Ralph Thompson is the symposium leader. Other events on the program include the, Thursday night banquet and dance. President Jar-rett will be the. main speaker at the banquet. By NIGEL ADAMS Although Wrestling Work shop's areold hat to one of the nation's greatest wrestling coaches, the session starting Monday is another first forDr. Bill Tomaras. Tomaras is known for the initiating of the wrestling- program at WSU and for the final development phase of the program at USC Since joining the faculty at Western last fall and enteringthe school's first team into competition, Western's physical education importance has been, on theupswing. Tomaras held a brief session for high school coaches last winter when about 30 men from the state ranks showed up for some pointers. This session for a week starts on Monday at S a_ra. andruns till 4:30 p.m. The important thing about the course is its practicality.

Dr. Snedeker willleave at the end of the nine-week session to take up the duties as president of New Mexico WesternCollege in Silver City, New Mexico. "The past year has been a vigorous and challenging one," Dr.Snedeker said. "I have enjoyed the intellectual atmosphere of Western and have particularly enjoyedworking with President Jarrett whom I consider one of the great educators of our time." In regards to thefuture of Western and some of the things he foresees in it, Dr. Snedeker said that we are "definitely onthe growing edge of a new era." "Western has a sufficiently diverse . faculty representing varyingphilosophies to continue to be a source for bold new practices," he said. He said that he has alwaysconsidered Western as one of the best teacher education colleges in the country. "I sense here atWestern a dedication to teacher education that! is well above the average," he said. Turning to anotheraspect of Western's growth, Dr. Snedeker said that the development of the arts and science curriculumshould be "high priority items in Western's expansion." He added that he hopes the social sciences willnot be neglected because of increasing work in the lab sciences. j "The fact that when the ex- 1Continued on page 3) Seafair Tops World's Fair Fun BOB'S DRIVE-IN IS HAVING ANOTHERSEATTLE'S THIRTEENTH SEAFAIR FESTIVAL will be staged this year against a backdrop of aspectacular Space Age World's Fair.

Being the epitome of the "generalpublic," an uninitiate, and a rank novice, I though I had long ago given up my bold and brash forays. intothe art realm. But I was very much impressed with the display, even though none of it had been arranged and much yet unpacked, arid I had better say something now, before it all gets said. Much of thedisplay deals with advertising â€” posters, mobiles, poster stamps, displays â€” and since advertising isaimed at the "general public," I am safe in talking about its effect on me, and I need say nothing aboutcolor, design, etc., of which I know nothing. I suppose I am no different than all of us in that I, too,succumb to the advice and, often, commands of the ad man's messages. But I am offended (as we allmust be) to think that many of our nation's advertisers seem to think that I have no taste, no sense ofhumor, and little intelligence. The venerable prophets of Madison Ave. seem to think that they needonly to slap me with bold colors, catchy slogans, and sexy girls, and I will rush out and spend, spend,spend. Sadly enough, it's usually true. The point is, if I have to be told what to buy I'd rather have them"tell me in Denmark. The attitude behind the advertising posters from Denmark seems to be that ofproducing something you'll see. and want to read, as opposed to the attitude here that you won't even want to see it, but if it hits you hard enough you'll buy the product without even thinking. To digress intothe content of the exhibit, notice, for instance, the terrific poster of the piano-playing tigerâ€”it makes me want to attend the circus just to see the wild, roaring beast that can be made fun of. Or perhaps thelittle poster stampsâ€”they can't use billboards in Denmark, so they've gone to the other and morefascinating extreme. And no marred scenery. Since I lack the proper critic's vocabulary, try this: Are you chained to the advertising habit? Try Denmark for a change. Or: Buying more now and hating it? All inall you get a lot to like in this exhibitâ€”humor, quality, and plenty of good taste.

Home of The Square Barber Pole and the Round Barber ERNIE'S BARBER SHOP BELOW GUS'S By Bill Burke Now that we have slipped into at least atemporary summer (By the way, did you notice that the day after the P-I ran a front page story saying"where is summer," the sun blazoned out hot and sticky?) we might as well talk about Birch Bay. Notthe Bay so much, but the Birch Bay Sun. Not even that so muchâ€” the point is, the editors of the Sun(ex-editors, as you all must know, of the Collegian) hold an annual beauty contest. And they seem tothink that all the beautiful girls come from Canada and lie about the beach all summer getting lovelytans. Now that raises the ire within me"4â€”I happen to like the girls a t " Western, and think they could * out-beauty those Bay chicks any day. Well, in all the glory of my impetuous nature, I challenged thehonorable editors Simpson and Ehlers, saying in effect that I could find a girl here at Western whowould steal the show. So I. need a girl!! All you young lovelies who would like to help me win thechallenge come and see us. We'll pick the loveliest and rush her out to Birch Bay Thursday, August 9,for all the festivities. She'll ride in a convertible, be heard live on radio KPUG, and when we win, she'll get a free weekend for two (?) at the Bay. Onwardâ€”All the; niceties and failures of our automated societyhit me with full and sweaty force: the other day. I was out cutting my lawn (that "lawn" part is'a jokebetween me and my landlord) with a hand sickle. And as I stood gasping in the heat, the automatictimer on the automatic chimes in that big church downtown struck six and automatic music rang outacross the city. Now _ surely with all that they should be able to find an automatic substitute for a hand sickle.

Asked if he felt that the education program might be neglected iby anincrease in the arts and science program, Dr. Snedeker said that he believes in the value of a verybroad background, on which to base specialization. "The education program can only be enchanced by the scientific programs," he said. Contrary to popular opinion, "Chicken Cacciatori" is not cowardly.

Lets face it, only so much happens at Western. Thus the establishment of FalstaffAssociates, a symposium of opinion concerning issues MEANINGFUL to contemporarystudents. Topics will 'be selected from those submitted by students or staff the week previous to agiven symposum and stated at the end of each feature. Contributions will be accepted from any who.rares to submit his opinion; ' in the unlikely case that contributions exceed available space they will be considered on the basis of readability, pointedness, and contrast to other writings. All opinionsshould be stated within a maximum of 125 words. The purpose of such a feature is to give theanonymous student a chance to state views without the intellectual drudgery of writing a completecolumn or the pretence of composing The Very Proper Letter to the Editor. Names will be printedwith the contribution or witheld on resuest. SICK, SICK, SICK -'â€¢ Since one must begin somewhere, we have selected the first topic, "Sick Humor: What is it, does it swing, is it nasty, why don't morepeople dig it, etc." If you dislike the opinions stated, feel free to wax brilliant; only one qualificationâ€”the printers haven't learned to set up snarls, so let's keep this bit intellectual and use words. JoeFascianiâ€”"Sick Humorâ€” what is it? This .is the appeal for humor through the use of materialtraditionall considered taboo. Such material would include death, illness, both physical and mental,people in mishaps or even gory accidents. Yet how sick is this? I feel that the very fact that it is nowdiscussed where previously it was banned is a sign of awareness, even if that awareness seemscruel or crass. Was it a virtue to ignore the negative aspects of life now considered humorous? Thatthe irreverence and lightness displayed toward these aspects is sick may be true, but how can thematerial be sick? If so, then all life must be sick. I feel irreverence is essentially healthy, for it means a lapsing from dag-matism. Sick humor is hardly about to usher in a philosophy of awareness, but it maystartle that which most needs itâ€”ourselves." Anonymous Girlâ€”"Wild." Grad Student in Psychâ€”"IRemember-only YOU can PREVENT FOREST FIRES! have heard approximately 14 so-called sickjokes in my life. 13 of them I heard after spring quarter 1958. The other one was about the kid who finally found the baby's soft spot which I heard shortly after the birth of my son: I don't know." JackNeillâ€”r"Somehdw I prefer 'Sick' humor to the 'Pat and Mike,' 'Amos and Andy,' 'Farmer andSalesman' type jokes one used to hear with their quaint allusions to 'nasty' acts and 'human' foibles. Atleast a sick joke makes one realize the callousness with which we go around performing our roles, afact that old humor tried to pass off as being the expression of 'illbred and ignorant' people from'unfortunate' ethnic groups. For instance: the mother-child bit that runs, 'Mommy, mommy, why can't I . . .?' and Mother, 'Shut up and . . .'â€¢ hits home the adage about honoring one's father and mother in anoperational way. 'Sickists' do not merely play lip service, they do their duty with a vengeance. Or takethe one; 'Can Johnny come out and play . . .' Merely an extrapolation from a child's view, of whathappens in an adult worldâ€”where one uses another only to be abused in turnâ€”where regard for theburden of another's affliction is a ceremonial mouthing, sacrosanct but not serious. I think 'Sick'humor is a sane rebellion against the hypocritical maudlinism of business society and big peergroups; the exposure of street life to the eyes of 'Right Thinking' policy makers." Bob Galf ord â€”"Sick Humor â€” ah, yes. It is the sick who call this type of humor sick. Their sickness is that they arementally handicapped. Oh well, I suppose one should hire the handicapped. After all, they are fun to watch." MORE TO COME Unfortunately there were several contributors who failed the deadline,however we look forward to printing their opinions next week. Dr. Roy Mumme of the faculty has beensounded on this issue and may be cajoled into offering us a morsel of his marginal mentality. Surelythere must be someone who finds "Sick" humor abominable and detestworthyâ€”let's hear from you!First Wrestling Workshop Held (Continued from page 1) Lynch who coached the Javee's for Hubbardlast year. Tomaras said that at 10:00 a.m. Monday the movie of the; "NCAA Wrestling Championships Finals" will be shown in the Carver Gymnasium.

The Western Front WESTERN WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY FRIDAY â€” OCTOBER 7,1994 VOLUME 90, ISSUE 5 New degree tough, but worth itStudent tests academic theories in real life; 'sometimes theory doesn't work' By Dana Goodwin Frontreporter Management students have a unique opportunity at Western â€” especially if they're planning on working in the manufacturing field. The manufacturing management program in the College ofBusiness and Economics combines traditional business courses with those in engineering andtechnology, providing students with a better understanding of all aspects of business, said PeterHaug, an associate professor in the management department. "When they come out, they'll have avery solid foundation in the engineering/ technology side, the manufacturing/operation side, the leadership side, as well as all the other general business background," Haug said. "We feel they will be very strong contenders in the marketplace." In 1989, Haug and his colleague, Mark Springer, set up the OperationsManagement Advisory Board to include industry representatives. Haug said they felt it wasnecessary to include manufacturing executives in curriculum development. "As the advisory board met andreviewed the curriculum, they felt that the traditional bachelor of arts in business with aconcentration in operations management, while well-designed in terms of what it provided students,was insufficient in terms of the engineering background and managerial leadership skills," Haug said. Rather than re-vamp the operations management concentration, he said the advisory board suggested designing a new bachelor of science degree in manufacturing management. Western is one of only 10schools in the nation to offer the new degree. Haug said the one-year-old program is tough and takesmore time to complete than traditional degrees. A key component to the program is the amount ofindustry-based work experience required. Haug said students are required to complete six months ofwork experience, which usually works out to be two three- See Degree, page 2 The worms crawl in, theworms crawl out They also enjoy our garbage Front/Craig Stephens Recycling center volunteer Chester Zeller has friends in low places. Financial aid options growing By Craig Stephens Front reporter"You're worm food, buddy." This could mean two things; someone is either about to become part of thedeath-toll in an action movie or part of the Associated Students recycling center's vermiculturecomposting project. Vermiculture composting uses the earthworm's digestive process to quickly convertfood waste into fertilizer. Chester Zeller, a recycling center volunteer, proposed the project to recyclingcenter coordinator Richard Neyer last fall and began the project relying on his own experience invermiculture composting. Zeller said the process, is simple. . Food waste is shredded and combinedwith newspaper and laid inside four-foot square bins. The earthworms are added and they begin toconsume the "bedding," creating their waste, called "castings," he said. Cornmeal is later used tobring the worms to the surface. Ironically, the waste becomes as toxic to the worms as it does tohumans, Zeller said. The compost is finally heat-sterilized to kill seeds and make it fit for use inagriculture. Zeller said it is considered by many to be the best fertilizer available. Zeller and Neyer saidthey plan to expand the project from its current pilot status, but must first determine the mostefficient food waste-to-output ratio. "Research needs to be done to find out the protocol for the leastamount of space to do the project," Zeller said. "We're not the only school to have limited space oncampus." Other universities, such as The Evergreen State College, have similar programs, but large-scale models are not yet available. Zeller said two pounds of worms convert one pound of food wasteinto compost in a 24-hour period. Experimentation will reveal the maximum amount of worms per square foot connected to the maximum yield per day. Zeller's goal is to have a usable product every 48 hours.Inspired by their work, the worms will multiply by 100 percent every three months, he said. Currently, the Fairhaven Dining Hall provides about 35 pounds of food waste a week. Zeller and Neyer estimate each campus din- See Worms, page 6 By Brett Davis Front reporter Western students now have moreoptions when it comes to paying back financial aid because of recent policies developed by the Clintonadministration. Kathleen Sahlhoff, director of Student Financial Resources, said as part of the NationalService Act instated this summer, students can pay back school loans by participating in communityservice. Under theplan, students work for oneyearatminimumwagebutreceive a bonus when the year isup. A stipend is a fixed sum of money paid periodically for service or to defray expenses. n "They can apply the stipend toward school expenses, to pay a loan or for loan forgiveness," Sahlhoff said. TheNational Service Act is part of President Clinton's Ameri- Corps plan, a domestic version of the PeaceCorps, made up of 20,000 volunteers. The new structure of these student loar programs is designed to save money while easing debt pressure on students by allowing them to choose low-payingcommunity work. The goal of the National Service Act is to get students involved in service andreduce student indebtedness, Sahlhoff said. Since the program is so new, See Money, page 6Parking passes offered to some Conimuter lot parking per-r mits arebeingoffered to someof the morethan 300 students on the waiting list, said Ann Wallace, parking services manager.

An officer smelled the odor while patrollingMathes. He contacted the resident and impounded the pipe and marijuana. Oct. 5, noon: A womanreported her wallet had been stolen from her office in the Viking Union. Oct. 6,3:19 a.m.: A man in theViking Union heard a loud crashing noise in the third and fourth floors but did not locate the cause of thenoise. He later found the fourth floor skylight broken in the hallway. The man stated he had seen threeyoung people outside prior to hearing the noise, but he could not describe them. Bel ling ham Police Oct 5,7:41 p.m.: Two men were arrested for attempting to flee a business, located in the 3600 block of ByronAve., without paying for their meals. The men were apprehended by employees when the get-away carwould not start. Oct 5,11:09 p.m.: Police were called to a domestic dispute in the 1200 block of N.Garden St. Neighbors had called 9-1-1 when a couple started arguing and the neighbors saw blood on one person's face. The officers contacted the couple, who said one of them had fallen down earlier and gotten a bloody nose, and the argument was over whether or not to go to the hospital for treatment. Oct 6,12:34 a.m.: A clerk at a convenience store in the 1100 block of Iowa St. reported a man wearing a stripedstocking cap and a camouflage army coat stole five mini-cartons of cigarettes. He fled in a red car. Thesuspect was not apprehended and the merchandise was not recovered. Oct 6,10:15 p.m.: A woman inthe 2400 block of E St. reported what she thought might be someone outside her bathroom window.Officers checked the area and found no evidence of attempted entry. Cops Box compiled by Front reporter Dana Goodwin. College officials ask industry for advice Degree continued from page 1 monthinternships. "We're looking at a student probably taking, realistically, four-and-a-half to five years tocomplete the program because, unlike abusiness degree program, that's about 180 credits, this is 191credits," Haug said. "Six months of industry experience adds some time as well." Erick Nelson, a senior who will graduate from the program in June, worked at Alliant Tech Systems in Everett this summer.While there, Nelson said he worked on a team responsible for' bringing Alliant Tech's operations up tocompliance with the government's Material Management Accounting Standards. Nelson waspreviously a production and operations management major, but he said switching to the newprogram was worth it. The requirement for six months of work experience will give him an edge once heenters the work force, he said. The internships are also useful for getting "hands-on" experience, he added. "You have the ability to translate the theory you learn in the classroom to real life situations,"he said. "You see how sometimes theory doesn't work." Haug said students who graduate with thisdegree will be well-prepared to enter the work force because industry managers had a hand in designingit. "The advisory board worked with (Springer) and me over the space of about two years ... and basedon what industry defined as what they wanted as the output, we determined what should be thenecessary input," Haug said. The proposal, completed in April of 1991, was passed through theAcademic Coordinating Commission inNovember of 1992 and was approved by the Higher EducationCoordinating Board in September, 1993.

Not only are certain products, such as sandwiches and coffee, available at alllocations, but specialty items are available at each eatery. Many of the eateries underwent majorchanges over the summer. Most of those changes deal with hours of operation and introduction ofnew products. Perhaps the biggest transformation is the conversion of the Plaza Deli from a specialtysandwich shop to a submarine sandwich format where the same amount of money nets more grub. "We wanted to give customers better value," said Kim Bachman, Food Services retail manager. "A half-subcosts about the same as a whole sandwich did â€” and it has more food." Of course more food for thesame price comes with a minor hitch. "Expect a line," said Shandra Wilcox, who works at the deli. "Ittakes us longer to make a sub than it did the old sandwiches. There's more food on it." Bachman saidthe bread used in the deli is now baked fresh every morning on Western's campus. Before the changes,bread for the deli had to be ordered from stores and wasn't as fresh. There are nine different subs on the menu, as well as a variety of bread items and drinks. Most of the subs cost around $2.59 for a half-sandwich, and $3.84 for a whole. A "Daily Combo" is also available for $4.39, which includes any half-sub, chips and a soda. One floor down in the Coffee Shop is the new home of the health-conscious Stir-Fry Bar. The bar used to be on the fourth floor of Viking Addition, a somewhat cumbersome locale(theplaza level is actually the sixth floor and the numbers go downward from there). "It was expensive tooperate down there," Bachman said. "But we didn't want to lose it because it is an excellent vegetarianoption. People just couldn't find it, so we made room in the Coffee Shop." The bar offers a build-your-own plate, as well as the traditional sticky rice and tofu. In the tradition of fast-food restaurants everywhere,the Coffee Shop also sells burgersâ€”many are available in "Super Value Combos." They include achoice of burger, fries, and a soda. Most run about $3.69, depending on the type of burger in the combo. Some students find the number of choices agreeable. "The Coffee Shop is one of the best-tastingplaces on campus," said Meara Conway, a junior. "I think they have a good variety. You can smell thestir-fry as soon as you go down the stairs." Bigfoot's Bistro is another eatery in the area, featuring pooltables. Located on the third floor, the easiest way to get there is to take the elevator down. Afterreceiving input from customers, Bachman said it was decided to readjust the bistro's hours. It nowopens daily at 3 p.m., staying open until 11 p.m. ness major. "All of my classes are in Parks Hall and Idon't have time between classes. "The Arntzen cart is quick and convenient." Across campus in MillerHall, facing Red Square, sits Miller's Coffee House. Along with the Coffee Shop, it is one of the most-frequented eateries. "I get a bagel and a coffee here nearly every morning," said senior Bryce Hanson. "I like the Coffee House a lot, although I still think the prices are outrageous." Theonly changes tohitMiller's is the introduction of several new bakery products. Bachman said scones, new varieties ofmuffins, raspberry marzipan and a "delicious" creation called a hazelnut currant cookie are in theCoffee House's immediate future. There is also a new coffee mug featuring a unique design thatmealcard inside. Plus, it's a much more convenient size and better value than mugs in the past." The old mugs held 20 ounces of brew and could be refilled for the price of a 16-ounce coffee â€” giving thecustomer four ounces free. The new mugs are 16 ounces, and can be refilled for the price of a 10-ouncedrink â€” giving six ounces free. Bachman said Western is known for its serious coffee drinkers. "Wehad been working with Starbucks to come up with a blend that satisfies Western students," she said."We tried their House, Yukon, and Java blends but none were extremely well-liked. "Finally Starbuckssuggested Sumatra, a strong hearty blend. It sits in your mouth, which is what real coffee drinkers like.Of course Western loves it, and we've stopped experimenting." Lines often form outside Plaza Deliaround lunchtime. Popular demand has also brought espresso back to the bistro. "Nothing else oncampus is open this late offering espresso," Bachman said. Regarding espresso, last spring the cartlocated in front of Carver Gym was moved to its current location outside Arntzen Hall, providingstudents on the southern end of campus a place to get a lift. "I really like having it there," said SarahMichael, a senior busi- Starbucks created exclusively for Western. It has a colorful coffee mug with"WWU" written above it.

Four Westernstudents participated in the community service program during the summer, she said. Direct loanprograms may be another option for students in the future, she said. The Federal Student Loan OverhaulProgram, passed last year by Congress, prepares the way for the government to introduce a newprogram this fall. Sahlhoff said Western is not among the first 104 colleges to use the plan but sees itcoming here in the future. Under this program, loan payments-are based on a percentage of the student's income rather than the amount of the total loan. The idea is to eliminate banks and other privatelenders from the loan process, thereby saving money by reducing fees and providing more efficientservice, Sahlhoff said. According to statistics published by U.S. News World Report, 95 percent of all student loans this year will go through banks. But the federal government hopes to become the primarylender in the program. Another change in federal lending lets students stretch out loan repayment for upto 30 years. The former limit was 10 years. Western participates in the Perkins, Stafford and PLUSfederal loan programs. The interest rates on these loans varies from 5 percent to 9 percent depending on the program, Sahlhoff said. Perkins loans are low-interest loans of up to $3,000 for needy students.Stafford loans are low-interest loans from the federal government that are not necessarily need-based.PLUS loans allow parents to borrow up to the full cost of their child's education less other forms offinancial aid received by the student.

Another hazard is the heat caused by the decomposition of the food itself. The heat createdby too much food in the bins can sometimes harm the worms. Fortunately, the same phenomenonhelps the worms in the winter, Zeller said.

The not-for-profit group Fairhaven Neighbors Inc. requested theclosure, which the council approved 5-2 at its Aug. 9 meeting. FNI is working closely with the city onthe Old Fairhaven Parkway extension project. The truck route will allow traffic from 12th Street andDonovan Avenue to reach the marine/industrial area below Old Fairhaven's shopping area. DuringMonday night's council meeting, Sue Murray, a resident of Bayside Place, and John Erickson, ofChuckanut Drive, presented the council with two petitions protesting the closure and requestingDonovan be used as the truck route. Murray and Erickson's sentiments were echoed in thecomments of three others who spoke against the closure. Increased traffic in front of Fairhaven Middle School, caused by the closure, was one argument used to oppose the closure. â€¢ â€¢â€¢â€¢':â€¢â€¢â€¢ The signatures and testimony join those of others flowing into the council on analmost weekly basis. Murray estimates some 519 signatures have been submitted to the city so far.Eighty-six of those signatures belong to residents within the Fairhaven Neighbors Inc.'s boundaries.During her comments, Murray read an Aug. 17 memorandum from Jack Garner, the city's public worksdirector, to Mayor Tim Douglas. According to the memorandum, the council was given in its Aug. 9packet, inaccurate speed reports for Donovan Avenue. These reports were part of the informationconsidered by the council when it made its decision that evening. Council members merely blinked asMurray read the memorandum, which concludes, "It is unfortunate that the erroneous report wasincluded in the Council packet, and we are unsure how it found its way there.

Inan earlier covenant with the city in 1988, FNI agreed not to contest the building of the Alaska ferryterminal so long as the city agreed to minimize the through traffic in that residential neighborhood anddiscourage through traffic at the 10th Street and Donovan Avenue intersection, among other things. Theagreement also gave FNI a say in the Old Fairhaven Parkway's extension. After the public commentperiod, councilman Bob Hall said, "I'll just have to say it again. I just wish you people had turned outearlier. "But the council, as I see it, has agreed to either 9th or 10th. It's just too bad." The council willdecide which street, 9th or 10th, will be used to complete the extension during next week's session.Completion pressures may be the root of the council's seeming inaction when confronted with petitions,testimony and memo- ' randum. Tom Rosenberg, city engineer, told the council Monday that thegrant â€” about $875,000 of which will pay for construction of the extensionâ€”may be lost if the citydoesn't begin work soon. But Rod Diemert, program engineer for the Traffic Improvement Account,which is providing the grant, said there really isn't a deadline, so long as action Those proposedprojects that don't meet their schedules often lose funding.

Citizens residing to the north and east of Bellingham want toseparate from Whatcom and become their own counties. If approved Pioneer County will encompassthe small town of Custer and its vicinity. Independence County will extend from Kelly Road to thecurrent border of Whatcom and Okanogon counties and south to New Halem. Sandy Andreasen, aspokesperson for Pioneer County, said if they meet all requirements, the state has to let themseparate. "According to the Constitution, we have a right to form a new county," she said. Theresidents of the area want to separate because they claim that they are not represented as well as theBellingham residents. They also claim that Whatcom County is just too big. "I understand theirfrustrations," said Yvonne Goldsmith, Ferndale City Council member. "They want more bang for theirbuck." Most of the Whatcom County buildings, including the jail and courthouse, are located inBellingham, and most of the registered voters in the county reside in Bellingham. Residents of thetwo perspective counties said that gives Bellingham an unfair advantage in voting. Andreasen saidthat the "majority of the votes come from Bellingham," and decisions made by the county councilhave, in the past, favored the city more than the rest of the county. In order for the area to officiallyseparate, it must meet some basic requirements. A substantial tax base must be established, theoriginal county must be left withwith an adequate You are invited!

The one requirement they still have to complete is the signatures. PioneerCounty's tax base includes Intalco, Arco, BP Oil and the Semiahmoo complex. Research hasindicated the rest of the county would still have enough income to support itself, Andreason said. Aboutone-third of the required signatures have been gathered, but the Pioneer County committee had beenunable to meet the required amount. "They (county residents) can't get more than 28 percent out tovote. How do they think they are going to get enough people to sign a petition?" Goldsmith said. "Somepeople don't understand, we need more control, " Andreasen said. Goldsmith said that if thepetitioners for Pioneer County did a big "blitz," they could possibly get enough people to sign. But itwould have to be mostly person-to-person contact, either by phone or door-to-door, soliciting. "I live inthe county and I don't care for the city of Bellingham," Goldsmith stated. "I'd like to see it (PioneerCounty) go through." If Pioneer County does become a reality, it would include everything north ofSlater Road and west of the Guide Meridian. The Lummi Reservation and Point Roberts would remainparts of Whatcom County. Since the proposed area does not have more than 50,000 residents, itwould not be subject to the Growth Management Act. When they meet the requirements, they needonly to bring it to Olympia to be recognized. A SERVICE ol T l l l - X GRAphlc MAciNTOsh COMPUTER TRAJNJNQ Help r _ * 755 9272 Â« m There is no vote. Goldsmith said if they meet the requirements, they can have their county. Andreason said the idea to break away from Whatcom County wassparked by a similar plan known as Independence County. However, Andreason said she can't seeIndependence County becoming a reality because the area does not have a strong enough tax base.Sharon Pietila, one of the founders of the Independence County movement, said they conducted afinancial study and determined they have plenty of money to support a new county.

A group of dancers, artists and musicians from the Bellingham area went to Japanfor 10 days in September to participate in Bellingham's first cultural exchange with its sister city,Tateyama. The group of 18 included quilt makers, a wood turner (a person who works wood with a lathe), a basket weaver, a wood carver, two professional musicians and a dance caller. A group from Tateyama traveled here for the first time last year and demonstrated such cultural traditions as the tea ceremony,paper doll making and the art of bamboo carving. During the exchange, the Bellingham group stayed with different families in the community. At the community center they performed blue-grass music andengaged in Contra dancing. "Contra is the oldest (non-Native) American dance, so it seemed the mostappropriate," said George Thomas, exchange coordinator. Contra is also "by the community and forthe community, not a stage performance," he added. "It's supposed to be a social mixer." Contra is adance where the men form a line on one side, women on the other and each couple takes turns dancingdown the center of the lines. Participants continually switch partners throughout the duration of thedance. During performances, the dancers taught the audience how to participate in the dance. Some ofthe artists also took part in the dancing. Traditional Native American wood carving and basketry, as wellas wood turning were also featured at the center, Thomas said. Thomas said these were chosenbecause the sister city committee in Tateyama specifically asked for traditional demonstrations.The group also presented gifts to the city. Kate Stenberg made a quilt with designs symbolizing thesister cities and the dancers. Vernon Leibrant carved a wooden bowl, and Lummi basket weaver AnnaJefferson prepared smoked salmon and eggs. Dale James, a Lummi master carver, presented an eight-foot totem pole. Thomas said the totem pole design consisted of a raven on top and the sun on thebottom. The raven is a character in Lummi folklore that James often uses in his craft. In addition toperforming in Tateyama, the group participated in an annual two-day traditional crafts festival in Chiba,'anearby city. The festival's participants are from all over Japan and display their region's traditionalcrafts. The Bellingham group was the only non-Japanese group represented, Thomas said. The groupperformed in two settings, one with an audience of 100 and one with and audience of 10,000. Thesmaller setting was informal and the audience members were persuaded to join in on the dance. Thelarger setting was more formal, with a brief demonstration of the Contra dance and atwo-minute interviewafterward, at which time the group answered questions about both Bellingham and the dance. The groupalso had a booth where their crafts were displayed. "I was really happy to be able to share the Lummiculture as well as Western culture with the Japanese people," Jefferson said.

Western's 1994 Performing Arts Series, featuring nine musical and danceperformances, provides an example of this experience, he said. The theme of this season's series is"The Excellence Continues!" As with past programs, the series offers a combination of dance andmusical performances, as well as a performance by Mummenschanz, a mime troupe which receivedgreat reviews during a previous visit to Western. "(The performances) explore deeper into what you'rereally feeling," Sylvester said. "They bring out emotions and ideas in students they didn't know theyhad." The season's Performing Arts Series includes the Orion String Quartet, The Falla Guitar Trio,Ballet British Columbia, Anonymous 4 (a medieval music quartet), Mummenschanz, I Musici deMontreal (a string orchestra), Joseph Holmes Dance Theatre, Atlantic Brass Quintet andChristopher O'Riley (pianist). "The surprise might be Anonymous 4," said Fran Sekern, assistantdirector of Cultural Affairs. "They're a four woman quartet who sing medieval music and chants. Theyjust got their third CD on the (classical music) Top Ten." Sylvester contributes Anonymous 4'ssuccess to the changing opinions of classical music. "Students are beginning to branch out into findingalternative music," he said. For students who have little or no exposure to classical music, theseperformances may prove rewarding, he added. "All these composers were new at one time. To someonewho hasn't got into this type of program, it will be new music to them," Sylvester said. "I don't like the term 'classical music' It denotes a pigeon hole in music. We're talking about hundreds of years ofmusic," he added. Sylvester compared the term to calling all music from the 1950s- 90s "rock." Likemodern music, classical music has many different sounds. It's the flavor of classical music that haskept it so popular. Many of the performers in the series are recreating the passion that classical musicemits, Sylvester said. "The thing that's magical, is here's a piece of music in the form of a score (sheetmusic)," Sylvester said. "The musicians are recreating ideas written down hundreds of years ago.They're doing it in a fresh way with their own abilities and 20th-century intellect." The Orion StringQuartet is the first event in the series, performing at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, in the PAC Concert Hall.Sylvester personally knows two of the performers and raves about their musical genius. "Isaac Stern, (aworld-renowned violinist), pointed them out as the next generation of excellence as quartet," hesaid. The Orion String Quartet has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and at the Kennedy Centerin Washington D.C. It is the quartet-in-residence for the Chamber of Music Society of Lincoln Center. Inaddition to performing, the members will also teach amaster' s class for Western music students.Reserved tickets for the performance are on sale at the Plaza Cashier. Prices vary according toperformance and cost $9-$ 10 for students, $16-$20 for seniors and $18-$22 for general admission.Series tickets are also available.

Music review New album by old band breaks barriers ByPaul Peterman Front reporter The last three times R.E.M. went into the studio, the boys from Athens,GA. planned to come out with a hard rock album. The first two attempts, Out of Time and 1992'sAutomatic ForThe People, didn't work out that way. Both sold millions but neither captured the soundR.E.M. wanted. Monster is an entirely different animal. The acoustic guitars were left in the closet asR.E.M. uses a bare-bones approach that rings bells for those familiar with the band's 14-year roots. The album's opener and first single, "What's The Frequency, Kenneth?" is one of only a few upbeat songsoh Monster. The emphasis on "Kenneth," and the majority of the other songs, is on the music ratherthan the lyrics. Vocalist Michael Stipe's words are indiscernible at times. That, combined with plenty ofreverb, makes it impossible to consider Monster a pop album. The listener must go three songs deep to discover the album's brilliance. "King Of Comedy" features guitaristPeterBuck' s best work of thisdecade. Stipe growls in the background as the guitar and bass dominate the sound. Dark is the bestword to describe it. Buck's tactical overview of Monster was simple. "I played guitar really loud," Bucksaid. "It was a little like Spinal Tap â€” you know, crank it up to eleven." Few songs on Monster wouldhave blended on either of R.E.M.' s last two albums. "Star 69" and "Strange Currencies" are the twoobvious exceptions. The former shoots rapid-fire vocals reminiscent of R.E.M. hits "Its The End Of The World As We Know It" and "Ignoreland." "Strange Currencies" lets listeners apprehend the lyrics andis similar in form to the pop ballad "Everybody Hurts." R.E.M. used unconventional means to ensure thealbum took on a life of its own. "We used a lot of different mikes and weird effects," Stipe said. "Thevocals on 'I Took Your Name' were recorded through a Walkman. Some of the backing tracks were sunginto a telephone." Most of today's bands try to produce a new sound, though very few can do it for anentire album. R.E.M. does. "Tongue" startles the listener with Stipe's high-pitched vocals. A bongoaccompanied by an organ lay the foundation for Stipe's take on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." Thestrangest thing is that it actually works. The album's last five songs have a melodic, driving guitar thatSoundgarden's Kim Thayil would be proud of. On the dark rocker "Bang And Blame," Stipe carols, "Ifyou, could see yourself now baby/The tables havebeen turned/ The whole world hinges on yourscreams/Your secret life of indiscrete discretion." "Circus Envy" is the hardest R.E.M. song ever.Stipe's warbling takes another back seat to Buck's grinding guitar â€” more evidence of R.E.M.'smysterious departure from past efforts. "We set out to make a rock 'n' roll record without heavy metal or grunge," Buck said. "When it comes to this kind of hard rock, the only influence we've really got isourselves." A key factor in the making of Monster is the band's decision, after a five-year hiatus, to begin touring again. "This album is a great way to get back into playing live," Stipe said. "I can't think ofanything more boring than playing all that music from the last three years, although I'm sure we'll dosome of it." Those plans include a world tour. A Northwest concert date is rumored for sometime inMay. Sex, se By Kris Alexander Front reporter "The play is about sex, ba cally. The whole play revolvaround sex. I mean, it does, really does.

Western student Tabitha Wall is stage manager. Unlike mostproductions of "The Taming of the Shrew," Morris chose to include the introduction, a prelude to thestory, in which a poor man is tricked into believing he's a wealthy lord. The man dreams, and his dreambecome the focus of the play. "John Barton, who wrote 'Playing with Shakespeare,' has a quote. Hesays 'Embrace the inconsistencies' in Shakespeare," Morris said. "I came to my actors and told them to embrace the inconsistencies. ... And I realized I wasn't living up to what I was talking about. Iwasn't embracing the inconsistencies, the inconsistency being the introduction." The actors said theylike the change. "By setting it in a dream, we've taken it out of the context of being 'Oh, we're soShakespearean,'" Nealy said, in an exaggerated voice. "But, instead, it's more of a mish-mosh. Wefreely admit that we're anachronistic ... And that's perfectly fine with us." By using the entire text, thecast has been able to explore multiple themes, they said. "We're taking something that gt; gt;-hasbeen traditionally considered to have one theme to it, and that is sexism," said Theroux. "We're notworking against Shakespeare's idea ... but we're putting it in a new light and showing it as being sortof the patriar- "It's sex in more terms than the physical â€” " â€” Damond Morris director dial fantasythat it is." "We try to get the meaning across and not just treat the language as something sacred,"Cowan added. "Because language is a living thing, after all, whether the words are two hundred years old or however long it's been." Even people who have never been exposed to Shakespeare should be able to follow the play, Cowan said. '"It's not like so many of Shakespeare's play s that if you' re not familiarwith the play or familiar with the dialogue, you lose so much," Mink explained. '"Cause so much of this show is comedy that's show and tell." A small stage area, homemade costumes (borrowed fromSociety of Creative Anachronisms members), original music played by a string^trio anda set adaptedfrom a watercolor painting have also influenced the production. Morris asked local artist and Allied Artsmember Richard Bulman to recreate his watercolor painting, "Rooftops," as the set. With the help of setconstructor Ted Stritof, Bulman has converted the Allied Arts Gallery into a two-story set. Pastelpink, royal blue, brown and black are splashed across off-white walls. The set/painting was inspired byBulman's travels in Europe. "I walked out of my balcony in a little town in Portugal and that is what Isaw," he said. Other examples of Bulman's art work, including a life like painting titled "The Satin Dress" will be displayed during the show. The actors said they found the show's freedom refreshing. "Up untilnow, all my experiences have been with either an almost corporate like community theatre setting orthrough the university where... there's a formula to it almost," Nealy said. "('The Taming of the Shrew')feels like something we've put together. Everything from auditioning, to building sets, to costumes.Everything's just really homemade," Nealy said.

On one side is a movie that is fueled by good acting by two excellent performers. Theother is a typical prison picture that borrows from other films. The story is adapted from a StephenKing short story "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption." Morgan Freeman plays Red, an oldcon doing a life sentence in Maine's Shawshank State Prison. He is the guy on the inside who can getanything from the outside for a price. Every prison movie has one of these guys. Tim Robbins playsAndy, a soft spoken banker who is convicted of murdering his wife and her lover. During his first nightin Shawshank, Andy shows the mettle of a hardened inmate. This catches the eye of Red and makeshim wonder if Andy will make it through theroughprison life. The rest of the movie chronicles Andy'sprison life for the next 21 years in Shawshank. During this time, he endures beatings, weeks insolitary confinement and repeated homosexual rapes by a group of inmates known as "the sisters."Eventually, Andy uses his banker skills to make himself a slave to the warden and the prison guards.Through this he gains some respect from the prison administration by preparing their tax returns andlaundering their money. The strong part of the movie focuses on the growing friendship between Andyand Red. "Shawshank " works best when it is focusing on the trials of the human spirit and how Andyand his quiet persona wins the hearts of Red and the other inmates. The movie borrows much fromother prison films. First-time director Frank Darabont wants to make his own prison film, but can't helpborrowing from other classic prison films such as "Cool Hand Luke" and "The Longest Yard." It would be nice to see aprison drama come along that doesn't rely so much on the predictable prison genre. Theelements are too familiar. The Bible-toting warden, an inmate with a fondness for birds, and anaudience-pleasing escape from the prison are recycled ideas. As "Shawshank" shows the triumph ofthe human spirit, it also shows the degradation. With the guards shooting and beating inmates and thewarden showing no humanity in 21 years, it becomes quite heavy-handed. The acting of Robbins andFreeman are what propel "Shawshank" along â€” and at a running time of two and a half hours that might not be enough. The performances on the screen will keep you watching "Shawshank," but you may shift in your seat a little too much.

Publishing and distributing music over theinternet might seem to ruffle the feathers of the big record giants by circumventing artists to find anaudience. In an interview with Kenneth Newby in Mondo 2000 magazine, Lord and Patterson said theyforesee internet labels as a possible upcoming industry. "We see a whole different sort of industrycoming up," Patterson said. "The reason we're so good is because we're not into the sort of exploitationthat the record companies may be into. We don' t want to charge the bands because they're the oneswho don't really have the money to do it. And we don't want to charge people for their role in the music'savailability.

Thus was born the slogan for the counter-culture movement of the 1960s. Known as the "spiritual father of alternative culture," Doctor TimothyLeary is the man behind the slogan and has been in the face of controversy ever since, controversyhe'll bring to his speaking engagement at 7 p.m., Oct. 13 at the Performing Arts Center. Leary' s topicwill be "How to Operate Your Brain: A Multimedia Presentation." Leary first made the presentation at Lollapaloozain 1993. After receiving a doctorate in psychology from the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley, Leary soon became one of the most respected leaders of the hu-manistpsychol-ogy movement of the 1950s. Appointed to the faculty of Harvard University in 1959, Leary became the director of the Harvard Psychedelic Research Project. His work included the study ofpsychedelic drugs, namely LSD, which were legal until 1966. Due to controversy and bad publicitygenerated by the study, Leary was fired by Harvard in 1963. Being the first person fired from Harvardcaused his mother to disown him, but Leary moved on and established a research center in Millbrook,N.Y., where he continued work on his LSD experiments. In Millbrook, he encouraged free thinkers and became a symbol to protest leaders around the world. He later ran against Ronald Reagan forgovernor of California. A leading critic of the establishment, Leary was even called "the mostdangerous man alive" by President Nixon. In 1970, Leary was imprisoned for possession of marijuana but after five months escaped and fled to Algiers. In January 1973, he was recaptured by the CIA andserved two years in prison before being paroled. Leary also pioneered the "futurist" movementof the 1980s, working with virtual- reality technology and computer software. He is presidentof his own c o m p u t e r c o m p a n y , Futique, Inc., which designs i n t e r a c t i ve software forpersonal computers. Tom Beal, of the Arizona Daily Star, wrote, "He jokes about everything. Heengages in what he calls stand-up philosophy. He performs philosophy on stage at collegecampuses...Purposefully, and with obvious glee, Leary set about to shock the crowd by making fun ofevery sacred cow within mooing distance...He was profane; he was funny. A few people left angrily,proving, I guess, that he still has the power to provoke."

It's a movie that follows the adventures of two Americancousins in Spain at the end of the cold war. The plot is a bit confusing, so here's an overview: TedBoynton is an American living in Barcelona while working for the Chicago based Illinois High-SpeedMotor Company (IHSMOCO), though it is never mentioned what the company does. Ted is some kind ofsalesman, but the movie doesn't explain what he sells. Fred, Ted's cousin, is in the U.S. Navy anddecides to spend some unannounced time with his not-so-thrilled cousin. The two are well aquaintedbut haven't been on the best of terms since a kayak mishap when they were 10 years old. In Fred'sendless pursuit of a party, the cousins meet up with two women. Eventually Ted starts dating one ofthem, named Montserrat, more seriously. As their relationship grows, Ted discovers she still has aboyfriend she lives with. His name is Ramon, a journalist who sees all Americans as suspiciousagents of the CIA or FBI. Ramon's views are in turn read and believed throughout Spain. Fred findshimself involved with Marta, one of Montserrat's friends. Martais beautiful butturns out to be a thievingdrug-hound. Ted's romance flops when Montserrat leaves him to return to Ramon. About the same time,Fred discovers Malta's devilish side and reclaims his stolen property. Confused? There's more. As he isleaving the scene in a cab, Fred catches a bullet in the head. Much of the rest of the story deals withhis recovery and Ted dealing with the possibility of his cousin's death. Typically Hollywood, the movieends happily. Ted and Fred become close friends again, both marry women they met in Barcelona andmove back to the United States. Overall, the movie is a B-grade foreign movie, though made ' byAmerican directors and producers. The plot is entirely too scattered. I found myself wondering where the plot was going, then laughing, then wondering where the plot was going again. It is, however,entertaining. Not in a block-buster sort of way, but in a quirky nothing-better-to-do-on- Friday-night sort of way. The film's end leaves one with a puzzled sense: puzzled as to what the movie is supposed tomean, puzzled as to why the movie was made, puzzled as to why you saw it and most of all, puzzled as to why you enjoyed it. As such, I can't say exactly what is appealing about "Barcelona," but I can sayit's a movie that I would add a third thumb up to the two Siskel Ebert gave it. WE'LL GIVE YOU 10WEEKS.

We need a little more heart," said Jones,-who also looked strong on defensewith 15 digs. Game two was strong evidence that Western has the talent and athleticism to promise a future laden with wins over national powers like UPS, currently ranked ninth in the NAIA. The offensiverhythm between setter Adrienne Sloboden and outside hitter Chrissy Sursely was excellent, resulting inthunderous kills that the Loggers were not in position to handle. "We are a transition team. We have afast offense that takes advantage of other teams," Snider said. "We played really solid," saidSloboden, who finished with 38 assists. "I was a little frustrated with setting. It's hard to find holesagainst such a big team." Ultimately, consistent passing and setting precision, a hallmark of a veteransquad, was the spark that ignited the explosive UPS hitting game. Loggers' setter Janice Lwin andnational tournament MVP Andrea Egans, a 6-0 outside hitter, combine to form one of the most lethaloffensive tandems in the NAIA.

Under the direction of coach Ron Johnson and backed by the goaltendingefforts of Burny Carlson, the Flyers finished well above 500 last season and plan on topping that thisyear. Carlson is joined in goal by Brett Haywood, a young goal tender from Brown University. This shouldease some of the pressure off Carlson in the latter periods of games. "Carlson consistently comesthrough for us, and with the addition of Haywood, we should be solid in the net," said public relationsassistant Don Steinke. Defensively, the Flyers should shine. The pairing of Wes Gentles and teamcaptain Wayne Stripp has been reliably effective at holding the blue line. Veterans Mark Benjamin,alternate captain, and Jason Reisinger return to provide solid protection for Carlson. Newcomers LindsayMohr, Jeff Sampson and Tye Cameron round out the defensive line-up. "Cameron played for thePortland Winterhawks (Western Hockey League) and seems to enjoy playing old fashioned rock-and-rollhockey. We can always use another solid defenseman," Steinke said. The Flyers should rack up thepoints with their gritty offense. Chris Morrison, one of last year's leading scorers and one to watch, isreturning to the line up along with Ryan Edwards and Stu Sage to light up the scoreboard. The Flyers,however, have made some exciting changes. After a trade that involved sending Darren Naylor and AlKinisky to the Seattle Indians, the Flyers picked up Colin Fair, Conrad Ashton and Dan Gagne to addsome more power up front. Also signed was Russ Morrison, younger brother of forward Chris.Bellingham lost goaltender Lance Carlson to the Central Hockey League, center Lindsay Dyck to Fresno,Calif., winger Dan Giesbreck to New Zealand and defenseman Kirk Fisher to retirement. Sept. 30marked the official beginning of the hockey season. Opening night featured a bagpipe ceremony andpresentation by the Bellingham Sea Scouts. The Flyers lost to the Port Cpquitlam Blues by a score of 8-7. Chris Morrison led the teamJby scoring two goals and two assists. Stripp, Gentles and the Morrisonbrothers let the Blues have a taste of the physical game and collectively racked up 43 penalty minutes.Bellingham, however, suffered the loss of Benjamin due to a slashing injury late in the second period. Heshould be back for the upcoming game. The Flyers next home game is at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday at theWhatcom County Sports Arena. They will take on the New Westminster Beavers.

This isn't just baseball. The NHL, NBAand the NFL all co-exist in this parallel universe. The plate-glass windows separating the real worldfrom this bizarro world are starting to get foggy. Squabbles over who gets this million or that million serve as a slap of reality to sports fans. The lords of sports might look normal, but they aren't human. Laborproblems dangle over all four major sports. The owners explain that it's obviously the players' fault. Theyshould be happy to get millions for playing games. The players rebut that owners have suppressed themlong enough. There is more money pouring in than the owners will admit. We just want our fair share!Nothing has changed in professional sports since its inception. The players sure haven't. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not about working for that pay," Magic Johnson said in a 1994 interviewwith ESPN. "The great trouble with baseball today is that most of the players are in the game for the money - not for the love of it, the excitement of it, the thrill of it," Ty Cobb said in 1925. Professionalathletes never played just for the love of the sport. _ Hence the term, "professional." Even collegeathletes play for incentives: scholarships, exposure for the pro draft, fame and sometimes even fortune. So the players haven't changed. That leaves the owners. The days when owners fo/tfthe players howmuch they'd be paid instead of negotiating are long gone. The owners of professional sports teams havealways tried to get away with something. Baseball's anti-trust exemption from Congress is a goodexample. That could soon be swept out from under their feet. Right now there are more professionalleagues shut down than operating. The NFL is in tact because its players and their union didn't have theforesight to see what a salary cap would do. "The '90s player is about getting paid first. Not aboutworking for that pay." Now many high-priced NFL veterans are out of work, and even more back-upplayers were forced to take pay cuts. NFL owners have the best excuse in the world. "The salary capmade me do it," ignoring the fact that the same amount of money is coming into the league. MajorLeague Baseball, the NHL and the NBA are all having labor problems simultaneously because thecollective bargaining agreements in the three sports expired at about the same time. The problem inthe NHL is part resentment and part stupidity. The resentment comes from the players and is aimed atthe owners and new commissioner Gary Bettman, a businessman brought in by the owners to help themstreamline their business. The stupidity is on the part of the owners for forcing apostponementof theseason until Oct. 15 and threatening a lockout when the NHL is at its highest popularity ever. Thepostponement is essentially a lockout. Players agreed to play the season under the current laboragreement and work out the problems later. However, the owners don't want to start another seasonunder an agreement they desperately want to change. The NBA and the NBA player's union are not even on the same court. The union wants the draft eliminated. Players would then enter the league as freeagents. Owners say that would destroy the league. They're right. The NBA owners want to furtherrestrict free-agency, enforce a stricter salary cap and install a rookie salary cap. The union shouldautomatically lose on all accounts for even mentioning that ridiculous draft elimination proposal. " Nonew negotiations are being held because the union is waiting for aU.S. Court of Appeals ruling regardingthe legality of the salary cap, college draft and right of first refusal involving free agents. Look for an NBApostponement, if not a lockout, before the regular season opens Nov. 4. But don't get too cozy if itdoesn't happen. The owners are also considering a player lockout around Thanksgiving. Sports fans are the sole reason professional sports exist. But in the end, it's always the fans who feel the worst aboutthe strikes and lockouts of their beloved sports. Seemingly powerless, the fans just have to sit there andtake it. The owners and players both know that no matter what happens, the fans will always come back. â€” Magic Johnson 4;AWU Â«iÂ«*wHlt;twi- Att Mfcm**sÂ»*w(Â«, KENYON'S ICE CREAMPARLOUR Home Made Ice Cream Daily 2:00-10:00 W.

The Bellingham organization, formerlyaffiliated with the Seattle Mariners, have been experiencing some major, exciting changes.Question: Why did the Seattle Mariners withdraw their affiliation from Bellingham? Answer: Theywanted to consolidate their operations and get them as close to Seattle as possible. They ended theirplayer development contract with the Calgary team, which was their AAA team. At the same time,Tacoma ended their affiliation with the Oakland Athletics, which allowed Seattle to move their AAA teamfrom Calgary to Tacoma. At the same time they did this, Everett team served notice to the SanFrancisco Giants that they wanted to discontinue their affiliation, which opened up the opening, so the Mariners could pull out of Bellingham and move to Everett. Question: Is this radical of an interleaguechange common to baseball? Answer: It is not that uncommon. I suspect that our 18-year affiliationwith the Mariners is one of the top ten. There are so many reasons for changes, probably as many asthere are people. I think the main reasons are minor league owners being disgruntled or the option tomove to better facilities. Question: What was behind the rumored move to Pasco? Answer: Pasco andthe Tri- Cities are building a new 4,000- seat stadium. The stadium hasn't been started yet, but thefunding has already been approved for it. They were interested in bringing a professional baseball team,obviously, in there to play in their stadium. We were considering a possible move to there, as a result of the fact that our facility here was not meeting professional baseball guidelines. Early indications,as of about a month ago, the city of Bellingham was not prepared to make those changes. At that timewe started seeking alternatives and that is when the Pasco situation became a possibility. Question:How are the Bellingham facilities lacking? Answer: Major league baseball has specific guidelines thateach stadium must adhere to. Primarily it (the problem) is with clubhouse related items. There is notraining room in our clubhouse. There are no laundry facilities in our clubhouse. The restroom facilitiesare limited at best. The shower facilities are limited. In the visiting clubhouse, there are no lockers, no place for them to put their gear, they just have a big room. There is no manager's office for the visitors.There is also no training room for visitors. Question: What would be the cost of getting the clubhouse upto par? Answer: The cost that has been approved at this point is $90,000. The city recently made thisallocation. Question: What was the substance behind the rumors of host family conflict? Answer: At the end of the season there seemed to be a great amount of dissension between the host families and ourfront office. It is unfortunate, and hopefully whatever those items are, we can learn from them. Itcentered around them feeling not appreciated. We were not running the host program. We started it,and then the second year we had some people volunteer to run the program. We became liaisons,and not the prime movers of the program. I think that ended up bringing on the demise of the program.Because the people who were involved in it, I surmise, felt that they were not appreciated, there was notmuch interaction. That was not by design, it was just how the program evolved. Apparently they hadsome expectations that we were not meeting. We still plan on having a host family program next year.We may or may not have it with all the same people. What we do plan on doing next year is internalizing the program, so we would have significant contact with the host family. Question: What kind of dealdoes Bellingham have set up with the San Francisco Giants? Answer: We're in the same league. We'restill single A. Everything is similar to what we had with the Mariners. Wehavesigned a four-year playerdevelopment contract with the Giants. This means we are guaranteed that they will be here for aminimum of four years before.there could be any possible changes. Question: How did you get involvedin the Bellingham organization? Answer: I bought the team in 1989 from the local owners. I have hadsix seasons with the Mariners and now I'm starting with the Giants. Question: Has it been asuccessful venture for you? Answer: I wanted to see if I could create something that was a verypositive thing, that the community would respond to. To that extent it has been really successful. Thecommunity has really responded well. There are a lot of fans. Question: What are you going to dowith all of theBellingham Mariner memorabilia? Answer: We are probably going to have a sale. We mayhold larger items for auction. There are some things that one would not ordinarily be able to buy.Question: What is to be watched for in the upcoming season? Answer: We are going to become abetter baseball franchise. We are going to be doing a lot of public relations and marketing. We are prettyopen; there are a lot . of opportunities. The Giants are a pretty classy organization. Is he out for seasonOr's Londo gonna play? By Stephanie Thomson Front reporter The loud "pop" occurred on a playOrlondo Steinauer had made a thousand times before. "The first thing that came to my mind was 'Wework so hard in the off-season, in the weight room and on the track,'" Steinauer said. The juniorcornerback was returning an interception during Western's 42-14 rout of Willamette on Sept. 24, a day inwhich.he also set the Western all-time career punt return yardage mark (503). "It just flashes throughyour mind that all of this hard work could possibly be taken away from you that quick. Everyone'salways saying 'Play every play like it's your last,' but it doesn't really hit home until it happens to you." After that "pop," which was initially diagnosed as a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee,.Steinauer's season was thought to be .over. But after he underwent a magnetic reasonance imagingtest, doctors decided that the ligament was not torn, and have given Steinauer the option to try and playwith a knee brace. "(The doctors) weren't convinced that it was a torn ACL just by the outside tests,"Steinauer said. "And so that gave me a little hope there. (During the MRI) I was praying that maybe I'dget a shot to play this season, and it looks right now that I will." "The prognosis is looking good,"defensive coordinator Robin Ross said. "And Orlondo, besides being a very good football player, isalso one of the captains. Any time. you lose a captain you're talking about (losing) leadership." However, if Steinauer is not able to return, there is a good possibility he will be granted hardship from the NAIA,which means that he wouldn't lose a year of eligibility. Steinauer said he wouldn't risk further injury bytrying to come back too soon. "If it was that bad^ then they wouldn't give me the option to use the brace," Steinauer said. "(But) that option is available to me, and I'm going to try it out. If I don't play in agame, hardship is still there. If it doesn't feel good in practice, then I'm not going to push it in a game. Soit's not really at risk." Steinauer added his ties to the team are a big motivational factor in hisdetermination to return. "We go through so much as a team in the off-season," Steinauer said. "Andit's just tough not to be apart of it. And anyone with competitiveness in them wants to be out and be anactive part of the team. "I want to do anything I can to help this team win," Steinauer said, "make thedefense the best in the conference, and as we all know if we can be the best defense in thisconference, then it is one of the best in the nation." In other injury-related news, the Vikings lost theirstarting tight end Christian Evans for the season. He suffered a torn medial colateral ligament in practiceon Wednesday. Evans was tied for the team lead in receptions (ten catches for 103 yards). His injurywas the second blow to the offense this week following the loss of Jon Brunagh.

The recentruling on allowable evidence in Paul Hill's case showed this. Paul Hill is accused of fatally shooting Dr.John Britton of the Ladies' Clinic in Pensacola, Fla., a clinic that provides abortion services. Dr. Britton's companion, James Barrett, was also killed. The court has ruled Hill's lawyers may enter evidenceproving whatever actions Hill took against the doctor were "necessary and justified." Allowing justification for murder other than self-defense could induce detrimental changes in the law. It suggests that everyperson has the legal right to interfere in the lives of complete ^^^H iMIBlIl iSBdR^N^iBlii H^MBI^^^sM^OJ ^ ^ ^ ^ j ^ i M i P I l ^^ strangers, if they feel it's for the stranger's supposed "benefit." This happens toomuch already, without legal precedent. The court's ruling gives Hill' s defense a green light to intrude onthe clinic by photographing and even checking the clinic's equipment. Butmostimportantly, it suggeststhe possibility that Hill can prove himself justified for committing two murders. The judgment could alsoallow Hill to justify his actions by entering into evidence the Bible story of Phineas and Zimiri, on whichhe based his own book, "Should We Defend Born and Unborn Children with Force?" In the story, Zimiriand her lover are murdered by Phineas when he drives a stake through their tent. According to TheProgressive, this story lies behind many fanatic racist and anti- Semitic Christian identity movements as their justification for "killing sinners." Dangerous precedents could be established with this case. If Paul Hill uses this story, what's to stop white supremacists from using it in their own murder trials â€” and itfrom working? This ruling changes a long-standing policy to disregard this "necessity defense." DavidCrane, of Operation Rescue in Virginia said about Hill's case: "Who committed the greater crime? Thecitizens who stand by and allow the children to be murdered or this one man who stopped a serial killerfrom killing more children?" The judge also asked this question through his ruling. A frighteningstatement by Tom Metzger of the White Aryan Resistance also runs along these lines. Metzger saidabout Hill, "If the guy who did the shooting in some way protected Aryan women and children, then WAR condones the killing." Paul Hill's lawyers basically made this same statement. Keep in mind they wantto prove, "whatever action he may have taken against a doctor who UCKLOAD SALE October 7-10Food Fun Visit our Oktoberfest Beer Qarden, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, and morel Contests with over 100prizes* Musical Entertainment* Fun for the whole family I Monster Trucks!

Inother words, the ends justify the means â€” one of the most dangerous idioms in history. After this,could the court rule it legal to murder people working at a nuclear weapons facility? Sure. By killingthem, they could be preventing the "greater evil" of nuclear warfare. The truth is, Paul Hill shot twopeople. All the court should bring into evidence are his fingerprints on the gun and the bullets that killedtwo people. The court should be blind to Hill's personal justifications. Instead, it should continue toconsider his motives as a reason to prosecute, not as an excuse in his defense. ALASKAEMPLOYMENT - Fishing Industry - Students Needed!

OP/ED The Western Front â€” October 7, 1994 FRONTLINE Addressing ad controversy Severalmembers of the campus community have expressed concern aboutarecentadvertisementin TheWesternFront. I would like to address this issue. First of all, the newspaper's advertising staff andeditorial staff are separate entities. The editor-in-chief is head of the editorial staff and the productionmanager is head of the advertising staff. The entire newspaper is staffed by full-time students, and wehave faculty advisers for both departments. The staff box underneath the Frontline in every issue clearlystates that the advertising in no way represents the opinion of the newspaper. Most advertising decisionsare made completely separate and without input from the editorial side of the newspaper. We have amutual understanding not to interfere with each other's work. The Western Front has several advertisingstandards and guidelines. Forinstance, wedo not advertise illegal products, hard liquor or tobacco, andwe do not carry ads that are sexually explicit. Any other advertising policies are loosely structuredbecause problems inevitibly emerge in across-the-board policies about what is appropriate or inappropriate ad material for a university newspaper. Those decisions are made on an ad-by-ad basis. Our policieshave been questioned lately because of an advertisement published in this paper that some people feel is "racist" or "stereotypical." We have recieved many letters to the editor about thisâ€”all of which areprinted in today' s paperâ€”and the issues presented in these letters are important to discuss. The ad inquestion was always just that: itis apaid advertisement that has nothing to do with the editorial content ofthe paper. However, "sensitivity," "diversity" and "racism" are very real and important issues that theuniversity is constantly trying to confrontâ€”as it should be. This is the perfect place for discussion. Asstudents, we are here to learn how to deal with such problems. Let's face it, because most Westernstudents are white, many can't see that the ad could be offensive to some people. I believe the medianeed to be sensitive to this issue. I don't want to sound hypocritical in this matter; however, I want tolisten to all sides of the argument before making any decisions. One question we should all be askingourselves is whether or not this advertisement perpetuates racism on campus. Obviously a single personis not able to make this decision for an entire campus; that is why the ad has remained in the paper.Would eliminating the ad â€” along with all other supposedly racist and stereotypical images â€” endprejudices and hatred? I am hoping within the next week or two, discussion will continue andunderstanding will ensue. I encourage people to write letters to voice their concerns about this issue andothers. Only through discussion can we come to an understanding. â€” Vanessa Blackburn Editor-in-Chief The Western Front Editor-in-Chief, Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; News editor, Pat McCarrell; asst.

Don't leave Fido tied up A dog â€” man's best friend, the buddy that meets its owners at the door whenthey come home, a person's company when nobody else has time to visit, the pet that lovesâ€”evenwhen it is neglected. Wait a minute! Why would Fido be neglected? Many students live in confines notsuitable for pets. These places are not healthy for dogs to stay in all day. However, bringing dogs oncampus is not the answer. More and more I see dogs tied to various building signs, trees and lightpolesaround campus. They yelp at any passerby that happens to give them a glance and sit panting in thesun because they haven't had a drink for hours. Lots of people would like to have their best friend waiting for them when they get out of class, but dog owners shouldn't torture their pets for their ownsatisfaction. Tied up dogs always seem so happy to see their owners when the confinement is over, butwhy wouldn't they be? After being attached to a lightpole half the day, any animal would be elated tohave the jailer set them free. If bringing a pet to school is a way to show love, maybe a more humaneway would be to leave it home. Dogs, however, don't belong confined to any small space. They shouldhave enough room to roam and exercise, a place to do their business, and food and water madeavailable. Dogs also need attention. They don't deserve to be loved only when it is convenient for theowner, such as between classes or after 10 p.m. study sessions. Dogs deserve better from the ownerswho they give so much love to. They deserve a home with a regular routine where they can be loved andtaken care of when needed. Bringing pets to college can ease the transition from home life to schoollife, but at whose expense? Whether or not people should have a pet is their decision, but it isdisgusting the way some pets are left on campus. It's notresponsible ownership, and if a dog owner can't treat a dog at least as well as he treats others, maybe they don't deserve to be one. Sexist costumesstill prevail October brings autumn leaves, pumpkin patches and Halloween. This year, the trick is onthe youngsters and their parents who will have to battle sexual prejudice in costume selection. Althoughthe media pronounced 1992 the Year of the Woman, 1994 is winding up as the Year Man Struck Back.In addition to the witches, devils and ghouls customary for Halloween, one Hayward, Calif, companydistributed costumes with names such as "Bride" and "Harem Girl." Boys wishing to go out as a groomor a harem boy will just have to hope for next year. Brides generally do not conjure condescendingimages. They are true historical figures and should not be eliminated from one's vocabulary or storeshelves just because of some potentially upsetting ancient imagery. â€¢â€¢â€¢Ill ;tfog||rci|: Frontreporter Harem girls have similar historical and cultural value, but they have an added image as property that is more likely to offend liberated women. Children rarely, if ever, choose their Halloween costumesto indicate their politics (although their parents might want to make the decision for them). Selection bychildren has more to do with popular television and movie characters than socio-political significance.Nevertheless, the bride and harem girl costumes represent anachronisms in post-sexual-liberationAmerica. It would be almost as politically incorrect to market slave, savage or American Indiancostumes. Costume manufacturers are not necessarily involved in some patriarchal plot to produceviolent boys and passive girls, but any store's Halloween aisle shows what designers and retailerscalculated to be hot items. They assumed boys would prefer action-oriented characters such as ninjasand monsters, and girls would choose fancy, frilly costumes like princesses and angels. America maybe on the road to leveling the playing field for women and minorities, but encouraging sex-rolestereotypes in Halloween costumes is a devilish method for bending the minds of an impressionablegroup. ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 7 - Page 19 ---------- October 7, 1994 â€” The Western Front OP/ED. 19 Letters to the Editor Advertisement angers many atWestern Dear Editor, The juxtaposition of your new dark-skinned savage logo next to an article on therecent cross-burning in the county (Sept. 27, p. 10) was more than ironic. Unfortunately, the editors ofThe Front may be the only ones to fail to recognize how stereotypical, offensive and racist is suchimagery. Few would not condemn the physical consequences of racism, which range from verbal abuseto genocide. Should we not equally shun the racist ideologies and symbols that are associated with, andoften drive, that violence? Your "Club Borneo" logo draws on the reservoir of racist imagery establishedover the course of centuries. Bone-in-hair implies cannibalism; spear and grass-skirt connote"primitivism;" exaggerated anatomical features suggest the antithesis of an ideal (Caucasian) physicaltype. This logo was repeated 10 times on both Sept. 27 and Sept. 30 and 13 times on Oct. 4. More thanoversight, this is overkill. Or is the hidden intent to change our Viking mascot (perhaps not in itself a badidea)? We can just hear it now: "Go, Savages, Go!" Instead, we suggest that the editors go. Go back toyour comparative GUR classes, to learn cross-cultural awareness and tolerance. Go also forward, toward journalistic ideals that illuminate and educate, rather than toward those that demand and that perpetuate ignorance. James Loucky, Maria Chavez, Stephen Frenkel Dear Editor, If we won't survive as anisolated nation or cultures, as claimed on page 12 (Oct. 4) of The Western Front, will we survive as anisolated university? The Club Borneo ads you chose to accept are disgusting. Actions continue to refutewords and plans on this campus, at least with regard to diversity. Ron Riggins Dear Editor, On behalf ofthe North Puget Sound Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,which discussed the issue Oct. 3, this letter denounces your use of the Club Borneo logo since fallquarter began and calls on you for an apology and its withdrawal. Originally, I believe, it was part of anAccent section ad, but it is now floating freely as filler you have apparently chosen as a Front highlight;nothing else recurs like its 10 uses in 24 pages on Sept. 30. It is a racially defiling stereotype, of the kind I and colleagues here spend class time showing and explaining as a product of 500 years of racistattitudes toward Africa: a black "tribal" male, with spear, bone in the hair, pot belly, frond skirt, splayedbare feet, etc. Other peoples of color endure similar displays. That you accept "Borneo Bob" as part of an ad is bad enough. For you to repeat it elsewhere in The Front, gratuitously, is vile, without the faintestjustification on commercial or free expression grounds. It both reflects on your judgment and, if notchallenged, projects Western as actively (because complicitly) racist. You at The Front are a very publicpart of what we all are. Have the decency, please, to explain your rationale for the logo's use; then, getrid of it, now. in a grass skirt with bones in the hair and holding a spear. I personally found this drawingoffensive and racist and cannot for the life of me figure out what in the world it was doing there. Thisgraphic occurred 10 times throughout the newspaper, and as far as I could discern, it had no reason forbeing there other than as a filler. As a student newspaper, I would hope that the staff makes every effortto represent all segments of the student body, regardless of whether they are a part of the editorial staff. I would encourage you to make more of an attempt to think along these lines when deciding what goes ineach edition. I would also hope that the staff decides to make a public apology for including this kind ofgraphic in our newspaper. We are all here to learn, and I hope that this letter has helped enlighten you to another point of view and to increase your sensitivity toward others different than yourselves.

Ross on low rung of pay ladder His $74,200salary may rise, but boost to equality unlikely By Peanna Shaw He's the poor boy on the block. At$74,200, Western President G. Robert Ross earns less money per year than any other president of afour-year college in state. And although a bigger slice of the budgetary pie may be served up soon, hisportion is unlikely to change his ranking. Western's Board of Trustees probably will discuss a raise forRoss at its February board meeting, although no agenda has been set, board member Curtis Dal-rymple said. He said the board normally tries to review the president's salary once a year, usually inJanuary, but a cancellation of this month's meeting postponed the matter until next month. Ross, whobecame president of Western with a $70,000 salary in January of 1983, received his last raise over 18months ago. But whatever the salary boost settled on, Dalrymple said it may not pull Ross out of hisplace in the salary basement, and it certainly won't be of the magnitude of the salary boost received byWashington State University President Glenn Terrell. Terrell was granted a whopping 19.3 percentpay hike by WSU's Board of Regents in a controversial November executive session, increasing his1985 salary from $88,884 to $106,000 a year. The increase, which would have made Terrell the state'shighest-paid employee, brought howls of protest from around the state and was reduced last Friday to amore seemly 6.7 percent increase, in keeping with raises granted university faculty. Dalrymplespeculated that Western's boards also will hold the presidential salary boost close to the 6.7 percentfigure received by faculty. A full 6.7 percent hike would place Ross's salary at $79,500, only slightlyabove that of Joseph Olander, the new presidet of the Evergreen State College. Olander was hired onJan. 1 for a salary of $78,588, a figure called "out of line" by Dalrymple. "I think the president ofEvergreen is overpaid and he'll probably continue to be paid more than CENTRAL EASTERNEVERGREEN WESTERN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS' SALARIES DEKtl (Sourceâ€”Council of Presidents Office, Olympia.) the president of Western even after a raise, but I can't do anything aboutwhat Evergreen's board pays their president." he said. Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs,also deplored the discrepancy of salaries between Olander and Ross, noting that Evergreen is aboutone-fourth the size of Western, based on student population. He also pointed out that the salaries ofpresidents of Washington's other two regional universities were substantially higher than thatreceived by Ross. "The salary here should be comparable to a peer institution out of state or in state,but Western has none in the state," Ford said, explaining a peer institution is one that approximates insize and scope.

According to the letter, many more students applied for financial aid, and were eligible for StateNeed Grants this year than had been anticipated. Therefore, cuts had to be made. "It took us bysurprise," said John Klacik, acting director of student financial aid. In August, the financial aiddepartment first heard of a problem with funding at a CPE meeting. It was announced thai the statehad over-extended itself by $1.1 million with State Work Study and State Need Grant awards, Klaciksaid. Tentative grant amounts usually are established in the spring in order for students to make plans for the following school year. But, in the summer, campus administrators understood that action mightbe taken to cut back the awards, Klacik said. Klacik's committee asked if the cuts could wait untilspring pending the legislature's decision to provide students with supplemental aid, but was notified inDecember the cuts would take place wintei quarter. In total, $40,450 was revoked 1 from students atWestern, he said. One state grant recipient, senior Katy Hollingsworth, wondered, "How can theypromise money they didn't have to begin with? I had no idea there was even a chance that wouldhappen. I was counting on that money for things I need." Grant recipients could get another $50 to $70cut I n their payments this spring, without any refunds of money lost this quarter, Klacik said. But theCPE has requested that the state provide supplemental aid to cover the funds lost. If the legislatureagrees to this request, all State Need Grants will be reinstated to their original level, and the loss thisquarter will be refunded. Klacik said. "We have no idea what will happen,* Klacik said. Ine Legislaturehas until June to decide if ft will reimburse students with supplemental aid. ---------- Western Front - 1985 January 22 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1985 ANDY PERDUE Conflicts over the Bakerview IceArena may end Western's home season. Home hockey ends? By Bob Marjanovich A conflictbetween Western's hockey team and the Bellingham Minor Hockey Association regarding the rentalagreement of Bakerview Ice Arena could cause the cancellation of the Vik- â€¢ ings remaining homegames. "Our agreement that we had with the arena (which is run by Minor Hockey Association) inregard to ice rental, crowd control and so on, was in question, and we weren't satisfied with some ofthe things they were asking, so we canceled any further activities . . . until we were able to work out acontract," Coach John Utendale said. He said at a meeting last week the association resulted in acontract being agreed to verbally by both sides, but he would not disclose the terms for fear theymay hamper the negotiations. The conflict was not the cause of the Bellingham Blazer gamecancellation on Jan. 18, Viking hockey Manager Chet Cery said. "The Blazers canceled the game astheir playoffs were coming up," Corey said. The main issue in the current negotiations is crowd control and how to handle the alcohol problem in the stands, Utendale said. Utendale said the team will be incharge of providing security for future home games. As of press time, the Friday game against theUniversity of Washington at the arena was on, Utendale said, but should the negotiations "fall apart," the game will be canceled.

Lines growing larger for Arntzen IBM computers By Andy Perdue Students tired of waiting in linefor textbooks and financial aid checks shouldn't bother going to Arntzen Hall computer center. JoanHayes, academic services coordinator for the computer center, said she is trying to devise a plan toexpand the Arntzen Hall computer center's hours. Currently the center is open 65 hours per week:from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays. The center houses terminalsfor the VAX 2 and RJE mainframe computers and about 30 microcomputers (micros). The problem isn'twith the VAX 2 and RJE terminals, Hayes said, but with the micros. Doug Wharton, Arntzen Hallmicrolab aide, said that from the middle of the quarter they start a reservation system so people can gettime on the micros. But during the last three or four weeks of the quarter people are waiting forreservations or a chance to use the' first free computer available. The Saturday before the end of lastquarter people were standing in line from 6:30 a.m. until 8 a.m. when the center opened up, Whartonsaid. The IBM PC's have the best memory capacity on campus for student use, Warton explained,adding, Arntzen Hall has the most IBM PC's on campus. The biggest problem is the computer centerbudget and trying to stay within it. Hayes said the use of the computers has increased, "but dollars have not." Unlike the Bond Hall computer center,which is open 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week, theArntzen Hall center must have a consultant or aide constantly on duty to check out memory discs.The Bond Hall center houses only VAX I and RJE terminals, which work independently of these discs. Hayes has proposed adding 30 hours to the 650 hours for the quarter. The cost would be about $125Hayes said. She said it would help a little, but "if it doesn't, we'll see if we can do some more." Hayessaid other departments know the center's needs. "Everyone knows we need more money for staff," shesaid. Hayes said she hopes different departments will help pick up the slack by providing money.Wharton said business administration and computer science classes use the Arntzen Hall center themost. He doesn't see the problem getting any better "unless they want to expand the budget, getmore computers, or something." Hayes said more computers aren't the answer, though, because thecenter doesn't have room for any more computers. I Democracy In Action. The constitution forWestern's Faculty Senate says the group of professors is "...empowered to speak and act for the faculty in university affairs..." The central document governing the relations of faculty with the university,according to the university Fact Book, is The Faculty Handbook. At its last meeting, the SenateExecutive Council appointed a "working group" to update portions of that handbook. The group,chaired by Robert Thorn-dike, will forward its recommen-. dations to the Executive Council, which continuesto meet in sessions closed to the public and press. Speak Up. Professor Arthur Solomon of Western'sspeech department would like the assistance of any student with a stuttering difficulty to help with hisseminar on stuttering this quarter. He can be contacted at College Hall 251 or by leaving a message inthe communications office. â€¢ /Steeper Summer Savings Set. Western students applying for financialaid next year will be expected to save $1000 from summer employment to be applied to college coststhe next fall. The minimum summer savings amount formerly was $800. Acting Financial Aid DirectorJohn Klacik said the increase was made to keep pace with rising college costs and was the first suchincrease in three years. â€¢ More Aid Dollars. Klacik also noted that the Council for Post-secondaryEducation has requested that the Legislature grant a 100 percent increase in financial aid for 1985-86. If granted, the money would be spread over State Need Grants, State Work Study and aid programs for part-time and graduate students. â€¢ Announcement of the Week.

Prayer, peace answer pro-life march By KarenJenkins About 3,700 people, many carrying signs with slogans such as "Equal Rights for UnbornWomen" and "Save the Whales and the Fish, What About Our Babies?" met in Olympia Monday toprotest the legalization of abortion. The demonstrators, including about 20 from Western, came from allover the state. As they walked from a parking lot, past the Temple of Justice and up the steps of thecapitol, they were subdued, More than 3,000 March for Life deomonstrators gathered on the steps of theLegislative building in Olympia Friday afternoon to protest the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision tolegalize abortions. some softly singing "God Bless ' America." The rally is sponsored every year byMarch for Life to commemorate the Supreme Court decision of Jan. 22, 1973 that legalized abortion.After the marchers ascended the steps, Pastor Bruce Norquist, from the People's Church stood on apodium facing the steps and opened the rally with a prayer that God would "somehow stop the holocaust that rages around us." Then pro-life legislators from across the state addressed the crowd, encouragingthem not to give up the fight against abortion. Rep. GlennDodds (R-Chehalis) likened people who don'toppose abortion to those in Nazi Germany" who said after the Holo-cause, 'I didn't know.'" Dodds ledthe crowd in shouting "Yes!" "So the people in the halls (of the capitol) will know we're here," he said.Steve Fuhrman(R-Kettle Falls) told the crowd to "go home and pray and teach and educate people about abortion." One demonstrator from Western, Brian McHenry, said he was there because "I really feelGod is the creator of all life and it's not our choice to determine if someone lives or not." Asked what hethought the rally would accomplish he said he believed "each individual is going to make an impact ohthe legislator." Another Western student, Paula Pliscke, said they are "hoping to 'open some people'seyes to reality." Rep.. Linda Smith (R-Vancouver) said such demonstrations "keep the issue verymuch alive. We have to work at this problem one chip at a time. Next . time, well make it." At theclosing of the rally, Kathy 'McEntee, president of the Washington State March for Life, told the crowd,"We are a peaceful people. We condemn the burning of buildings. We also condemn the violence thatgoes on inside those buildings." "I beg of you, if any of you know anyone who is tempted to violence,please stop them,"she added. During the rally, a man with, a sign that read,"Reproductive Rights, NotTerrorism," and a woman with a sign that bore a coat hanger with a red line drawn across it, stood in the middle of the crowd. Some pro-life demonstrators attempted to cover the signs with their own. One ofthe speakers urged them to leave the counter-demonstrators alone and invited them to come to thepodium and express gt; their views. They declined, but continued to 'â€¢ hold up their signs. After therally, an impromptu debate sprang up between the pro-life and pro-choice demonstrators. The woman,Gretchen Junker, said she came "because I felt that there was a statement to be made that wasn't going to be made." "Even if abortion becomes illegal it will still go on,"Junker said. "I'm not advocatingabortion," she continued, "but sometimes it is the only solution." Christopher Kalish, 6, (above) andGretchen Junker, (right) voice opinions in Olympia. Photos by Janice Keller Strictness of drunk drivinglaws debated By Shelley Nicholl Whether or not drunk driving laws are strict enough was the mainquestion discussed by a five-member panel and the 15- member audience at a meeting organized byJohn Hawkins of the Program Commission, last Thursday. Representing Mothers Against Drunk Drivers,Supreme Court Judge Frank Marrow said he believes taking away a person's car when he has beendriving while impaired is the answer. Taking away his license is not enough, he said. But Rob Jones,Whatcom County public defender, said the present laws are strict enough. "A DWI (driving whileimpaired) conviction can be catastrophic," he said. He described the consequences of a first offense: a $400 fine, a mandatory day in jail, driver's license suspension for 90 days returned after an alcoholevaluation and probation for one year. In addition, the driver must pay high-risk insurance. But theaudience was not sympathetic. One man from the audience hushed the crowd when he said his motherwas killed by a drunk driver in 1982 and the driver received only a four-month sentence for negligenthomicide. Officer Green of the Bellingham Police Dear Western Front, We, here at Western View, aretired of the rap that the broadcast industry has received from you print-media types. You sit around andtwiddle your ink-stained thumbs and say that broadcast journalism isn't "true" journalism, but a second-rate form of dispensing information (you can look up the bigger words in a dictionary â€” provided that youcan read). It is in this spirit that we, broadcasters extraordinaire, challenge you, the newsprint sniffinghacks, to a basketball game to determine just who is superior. Please respond to our challenge in print.May we also point out that while broadcast journalism may be less detailed than print, it Departmentadmitted not enough police are available to get all the drinking drivers off the road. "The problem needs to be dealt with by people on other ends," he said. Jones suggested better public transit would alleviatepart of the drunk driving problem. If people had an economic, efficient way to get home after they hadbeen drinking, they wouldn't use their cars, he said. Many people agreed with' the woman from theaudience who said people should take a stand on a personal level and tell people who have been drinking not to drive. cannot be used to line parakeet cages. Sincerely, The Cast and Crew of P.S. As an added incentive, the loser must report the outcome of the game via their particular medium.

Showing a different perspective Eric, Johnston from the Olympic Center explained the problem ofalcoholics. An alcoholic drinks uncontrollably, he said. "To recover from being an alcoholic is learninghow to deal with alcohol." He compared alcoholics to diabetics; they are never cured and constantlyneed treatment. Kathy Downs, from Alcoholics Anonymous, said alcoholics are "trying to fit back intosociety. They don't want any favors." --^C" EARN EXTRA MONEY ^ Bring in your childrens outgrownitems!!!

GRANT BOETTCHER PREVIEW Poor ending hurtsfilm By John Carmichael "The Second Awakening of Christa Klages" is like a mystery novel with thelast two chapters missing. No matter how good the style may be, it is disappointing not to find out themurderer's identity. In "The Second Awakening of Christa Klages," it is the main character's identity thatis never revealed. The police are looking for Klages because she robbed a bank. But at the same timeKlages is looking for herself. She is seeking to resolve the conflict between her altruistic dedication toothers and her own needs. If the film is looked at merely as a character study, then its lack of suspense is not a problem. In fact, the film works quite well as a character study. Christa Klages is a fas- â€¢cinating person. It is because Klages is made so fascinating that it is disappointing when the personalresolution, implied by the film's enigmatic ending, is not revealed to the audience.

The students,Audrey Spurrier and Dorothy Picht, were part of "Women in Metals," a show last year also at theChrysalis Gallery. Spurrier's work at this exhibit consists of jewelry, particularly pins. A "Fortune CookiePin," made of brass and acrylic, reads: "You have a deep interest in all that is artistic." Spurrier usescombinations of silver, acrylic, brass, copper, nickel, bronze and paint in making her creations. NancyHammer and Lynn Rockwood, both professional artists from Seattle, were invited to the show when twostudents from last year's metals exhibit were unable to attend. Hammer uses steel to developarchitectural pieces such as "Initial 1 /Triangle 2" and "Segments of a Slope." "Steel Fan" is a thick,upright piece of black steel, asymmetrically-shaped as an opened folding fan. Rockwood uses bronze inher sculptures "Earth Elements IV" and "Earth Elements V." She positions a triangular seat on pencil-thin supports to form a "Rose Chair." On the seat is a triangle of small stones. Picht, a jeweler whennot studying , shows some of her jewelry as well as "Triptich," three copper wall-mount sculptures,and "Ran-cho Delux,"a mixed media sculpture she calls "an environmental piece." G a l l e r y D i r ec t o r K i t ty Brougham said she believes a metals show is something that interests a lot of peoplebecause it gives them a chance to see something they normally wouldn't. "I think that there are some really innovative things being done with metal," she said, "and this gives people an education as to what is being done." LIISA HANNUS.

Maybe it was the prediction of George Orwell or the vilevision of Nostradamus, but the music of 1984 was a bland sophomoric symphony.

This is not meant to be an insult to those who bought such products. Recordcompanies have tightened the choices of what the public can buy. So this gives us a choice from Ratt to Prince and whatever falls in between. The bands that don't fall into this mega-sales category get lost inthe shuffle. To complain about 1984 could become a long and endless process. It would end up dull anddepressing. The music was unimaginative and the lyrics were simplistic; aimed directly at usâ€”thepassive Pepsi generation. Two examples of this would be Corey Hart's "Sunglasses At Night," andCyndi Lauper's "She Bop." The latter being a blatant bastardization of Gene Vincent's rock masterpiece"Be-Bop-A-Lula." Why think when we can react. Right? The record companies have us right in theirhands. Last year also was big in musical media hype: 1. The Jackson's "Victory Tour" that raped andpillaged people for $30 a ticket. 2. Lionel Richie sang live to millions (via television) at the OlympicGames. 3. Ronald Reagan praised Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." album. Big deal. Despitean overall constipated year in music, a few noteworthy things managed to slip out. The pleasantsurprises being: The Honeydrippers, Julian Len-non, Lou Reed and Spinal Tapp. A couple of excellentjazz releases came out last year too. Jazz guitarist Kazumi Watanabe's "Mobo I" and Shadowfax's "The Dreams of Children" were among the few musical standouts in 1984. ^ gt; WEEKEND BRUNCHES$100 OFF ALL BRUNCHES THRU JANUARY EVENING SPECIALS Open: Mon.-Fri. 11-7 pm - Sat.10-3 pm, Sun. 10-12 = S ^9 $1Â°Â° OFF 1140 NORTH STATE 733-4927 | SANDWICHES THRU JAN.ACROSS FROM THE HERALD BUILDING i Serving Home-Cooked Food For Over 9 Years! = I ALLVEGETARIAN '"â€¢ "IIIIIIP1!* m m m m i M i u i i STUDENTS!

As Peace Corpsvolunteers, they left their homes, families and friends to go to a foreign country with none of the luxuriesof home. In 1982, McCarten, 12 credits short of her elementary education degree, traveled to Hondurasto perform teacher training. Honduras is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Ithas a 50 percent literacy rate. Three-fifths of its population are subsistence farmers, farmers who cangrow only enough to feed their families. McCarten said one of the hardest things to deal with was thedrastic reduction in the standard of living as compared to the United States. "There's malnutritioneverywhere. There's no cars, no television, no running water and very little electricity. It was achallenge not having those luxuries," she. explained. "But I wanted to have that experience. If theycould do it every day, why couldn't I," McCarten added. Life in Honduras was simple and entertainmentwas scarce. A major pastime was talking with neighbors. "I had to rely on myself for entertainment. Iread a lot and wrote letters. We did have one movie theater in town. I really missed having a phone tocall up a friend and say,'let's go out somewhere'," she said. '7/ they don't like you, you're in bigtrouble because you're the only foreigner on the island." Some of her spare time was spent withchildren in her neighborhood. Most of them were 2-to- 10-years-old and couldn't go to school. WhenMcCarten came home from work, all the kids would gather at her house. She taught them colors andnumbers with crayons, puzzles and games. "You see, not everyone could go to school there. The kidshad a few chores to do, but basically had the whole day to themselves. One of the hardest things to getused to was knowing those kids would never have the opportunities children get in America. Their lives will change very little," she explained. McCarten said the experience taught her to be more sensitiveand ANDY PERDUE Peace Corps volunteer David Bracilano said he thought he was in paradise once he learned the language of the island. Although extensive training sessions are required before the Peace Corps sends a person out in the field, no training can prepare someone for everything they'll encounter,she said. McCarten said everyone experiences culture shock. "At first all the villagers stared at meas though I was a tourist. I looked different, I had lighter hair and skin. But as time went by, I blendedin," she said. riecause of the illiteracy rate, "You could always tell a Gringo when she walked down thestreet carrying a book," McCarter added. open to different cultures. She became comfortable living inHonduras. "It was hard to leave, but I knew it was the right time to go. My job was completed. It was themost rewarding experience 111 ever have. Day to day living was a challenge, " she said. She returned to Western to complete her degree. David Bracilano had an even bigger challenge in his assignment.He worked on a small island in Micronesia. He had a bachelor's degree in liberal studies, which didn'tprovide a skill he could share, so the Peace Corps trained him in agriculture. His assignment took him to one of the Marshall Islands, which boasts a coastline of just over one mile. Eighty people inhabit theisland. They speak a language called Marshallese. Only 36,000 people in the world speakMarshallese, and, unfortunately for Bracilano, not one of them was in the Peace Corps, he said."The first six months I was there, 1 was walking around literally in tears. It took me six to nine months to learn the language and get into the flow of gossip. I was the only person there that could speakEnglish and couldn't speak Marshallese. It got pretty lonely," Bracilano explained. "Once Ilearned the language 1 thought 1 was in paradise," he added. Bracilano's job was to teach th islanderssmall-scale farming. They relied on fish and breadfruit, a seasonal fruit found on the island, as theirstaple foods. During the off-season for the fruit, the islanders imported rice from passing boats, hesaid. He taught them how to grow vegetables such as potatos, pumpkins and yams to supplementtheir diets and rid them of their dependence on rice. The islanders didn't take to the new ideas verywell, Bracilano said. They liked the rice and were leery of the new produce. He said he didn't know many ways of preparing pumpkins, yams or potatos so it took a while before the islanders would eatthem. Asked if he tried preparing french fries, he replied, "1 wish I would have thought of that. I guess Ineeded some training in home economics." "You know what was really, funny was I grew popcornbecause I couldn't get regular corn to grow. When I made it for them, they thought it was magic,"Bracilano said. In addition to teaching farming techniques, Bracilano helped the women on the islandform a handicraft co-op. He made contacts with markets on other islands to sell the goods andarranged the exportation of them. He taught them how to use ledgers and inventory sheets and how to manage a small business. He also helped the islanders write a constitution. While Micronesia is still atrusteeship, the Marshall Islands declared their independence in 1981. Bracilano acted as a mediarybetween the rest of the islands and the one he lived on. They all became municipal governments actingin conjunction with each other. He organized four conventions to discuss the constitution and hetranslated the work from formal English to Marshallese. Bracilano said he saw many changes on thelittle island in the three years he was there. When he first arrived in 1979, it looked as; though WorldWar II just had ended. Approximately450 bombs, some weighing 1,000 pounds, were scatteredeverywhere. Nine Japanese Zeros (war planes) were crashed there. "Shortly after I was there, anordinance specialist crewcameand de-bombed the island. They scraped all the soil for bombs. They putall of the bombs in a big pile and blew them off," he said. An old Japanese runway was restored whichallowed a plane to deliver mail and supplies every week. Before the restoration, supplies and mail were delivered by boat about every four months, Bracilano said. Life on the island was slow-paced, peopleentertained themselves by fishing and telling stories. The hardest thing for Bracilano to get used towas the isolation. He relied on the support of the community. "If they don't like you, you're in big troublebecause you're the only foreigner on the island," he explained. Bracilano spent most of his spare timeworking on his master's thesis in anthropology. Bracilano said he experienced more of a culture shockwhen he returned to the United States. "I was home two days and my girlfriend at that time was having a birthday. Her parents took us to the Space Needle for dinner and I ordered an appetizer of smokedsalmon. I was shocked when I got this plate filled with a-half-a-head of lettuce and a few strips ofsalmon. I couldn't believe the waste. I struggled for years to even get lettuce to grow and here 1payed $7.50 to throw half-a-head away," he explained, shaking his head. The Peace Corps hascontinuous recruitment.

Students andfaculty members at Western's Vehicle Research Institute are culminating several years of work at afeverish rate to complete the Viking VII research car. The car will appear at the Society of AutomotiveEngineers' International Congress and Exposition Feb. 15 in Detroit, Mich. "It (the car) must be doneby the middle of February," said Michael Seal, VRI director. The project began several years ago, Sealsaid, but several other VRI projects slowed construction. Now, Seal said, they are able to concentrateall their efforts on the car. John Kutz, a senior who has been working on the car for about two years,said, "We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it look beautiful." He said the car isbeing shown at the exhibition in Detroit mainly for publicity. Chrysler has some research projects theVRI would like to get, Kutz said, and the lab wants to show Chrysler what it can do. Jeff Vickers, VRIresearch associate, said the exposition will display prototype vehicles, and the Viking VII will be the only U n manufactured car there. The car features a Subaru-manufactured engine that the VRI partlydesigned last year. Vickers said Subaru was_yery happy with the work done on the engine and was glad it will be in the exhibition. Viking VII is a high-performance sports car that weighs less than 1,000pounds. Vickers said most sports cars weigh between 2,500 and 3,000 pounds. It will get 60 to 70miles-per-gallon on unleaded gas. 'We're pretty much just trying to slap it together and make it lookbeautiful.' The $400 windshield on'the "VII is the same as that used on the car in the television show"Hardcastle and McCormick." The cost of the windshield, as well as the financing of most of the rest ofthe car and transporting it to Detroit, is being paid for by Alcoa Aluminum. By Stanley Holmes WhenPhil Ershler began climbing in high school he had no idea that one day he would make a living in the mountains and be one of a few persons to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. Ershler is aprofessional mountain guide for Rainier Mountaineering. He leads climbs year-round to Mexico,South America, Alaska and Mount Rainier. In 1982 Ershler was a member of Lou Whittaker's China/Everest expedition that failed to reach the summit. On that attempt, Ershler's good friend, and the onlyfemale member of the team, Marty Hoey, died when she fell at 26,000 feet. A year later Ershlerattempted Everest again, this time as a member of the Seven Summits Expedition. Although he didn'treach the summit, other members of that team did. So when Whittaker asked him if he would like to goagain in 1984, he had no problem saying yes. When he returned in November, he. was the only teammember to stand on the summit of Mount Everest. After the usual amount of storms, doubts andsickness that plague an expedition as it moves up the mountain, Ershler and his partner, JohnRoskelley, left the high camp (the highest point on the mountain on which a tent is pitched) for what they hoped would culminate in the summit. At 28,000 feet, Roskelley, who has an ethical objection againsttaking oxygen artificially, turned back, Ershler said. They were climbing the north face of the mountain,which is much colder, and could not be climbed without bottled oxygen. Ershler said the fall season inthe Himalayas also is much colder than the spring. Roskelley was worried about frostbite andhypothermia, he said. At that point, Ershler said he had no difficulties deciding to solo the remaining1,100 feet. "I was so totally consumed with the mechanics of climbing, making sure I picked the rightroute so I could get back, and that I had good climbing technique," he said. "The fact I was aloneheightened my concentration. I knew I couldn't screw up." He reached the summit at 3:45 in theafternoon and spent exactly 15 minutes on top. As he stood alone on the highest ooint on earth, he took a few pic-ures and remembered Hoey and Chris Kerrebrock, another climbing partner killed on Mt.McKin-ley while training for Everest. He said he did not feel euphoric on the summit. The mountainVickers said a research car such as the Viking VII usually costs about $250,000, but this project will run only about $15,000. The main reason for the low cost, Vickers said, is students do most of the work,drastically reducing labor costs. The car will be outfitted with Goodyear tires, which have new specialrubber compounds that help them stick to the road better. Pittsburgh Plate Glass Industries, makers ofDitzeler Paint, is providing all of the paint. PPG Industries sponsors all of the Indy-circuit cars. TheVRI's research Viking cars have been entering contests since the early 1970s, winning most of them,but Vickers says those contests have become scarce. He attributed that to the fact that the energyscare, which brought about much of the research, is over. The* kind of research the VRI engages in hastaken a backseat to military research. Seal said, "Right now, government is not sponsoring muchresearch unless it's got a military application. The industry seems to be following the lead of thegovernment." s Everest demanded too much concentration. In order to survive the descent, heneeded all the physical and mental strength he could muster. Once he reached high camp, the emotionof standing on the top of the world became more pronounced. Now that he's climbed Everest, he said he hasn't stopped thinking about climbing other mountains in the Himalayas. "If anything, standing onEverest shows you how many things are left to doâ€”you can see them all from the summit," he said. Tomorrow he will be at Western showing slides of the successful climb at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4.Admission is $3. yplillp^ 'efejÂ»Shia^ :e,"said Mary Carskadon of Stanford erstfj^ o n l ^ s, but theymay be developing (sleep) j ^ ^ ^ | U l ^ ^ | | w ^ | ^ | n ^ i p P M ^^ M i t j ^ | ^^ ighters" before examshinders, rather Kielp^ vigils cause deprivation of REM (rapid npwrnent!|sl keplreiu^ d l f j S i^falw6reÂ£re^ toajfll^ iextremetcal^ j ufrayoijlia^ ^ta;c;kp'\Vh^^ Disorders Clinic^ at :.the-':Sj i^i lt;lIh1verf^ CHRIS BALDWIN rying about school work keeps students (anxiety) takes a long time to work out of the stration/ computer science major, said that :|!e|!i|p suppress REM sleep.

"They (Dolfo and Terry) may think they're going to sit there," Viking Coach LyndaGoodrich said, "but they won't sit there long."

Here, they battle for rebound in the contest won by theVikings, .62-57. â€” It's been a tough season for Western's men's basketball team, but Saturday night it made up for all the frustration, tripping up Central, 62-57, in overtime at Carver Gym. The Vikings wonthe game at the charity stripe, hitting 26 of 31 free throws, including nine of 12 in overtime, while sending the Wildcats to the line only once all night, where Darrell Tanner hit one of two. "We had to get 'em,"said guard John DeFranco, who hit three of five freebies in the overtime, including one that gave Vikingsthe lead for good at 56-55 with 1:02 to play. "We just decided that we weren t going to foul them," hesaid. "We packed it in on defense, and we weren't going to give them the easy shots inside. We toldourselves that if they were going to beat us, they'd have to do it from the inside." Shane Nickel, thebiggest Viking at6-foot-7, was the one who had to contend with a Central frontline that included 6-8center Ron vanderSchaaf and 6-7 forwards Tanner, who transferred in from Washington, and RodnieTaylor, a transfer from the University of Oregon. "They got in there and forced it up and expected it to go in," Nickel said. "It was good. They are an awesome team. We played well and took it to them."Western led for the first 14 minutes of the game, before Gordon Dixon fired in an 18-footer to giveCentral its first lead of the night at 24-22 with 5:56 remaining in the BlueMo* THE JJttie MOXRESTAURANT SPECIALIZING IN FINE DINING, DANCING, and COCKTAILS.

The Wildcats expanded that margin to 32-25 at the break,then put on an 8-2 burst to take a 40-27 lead with 16:50 to play. It looked as I though the rout was on.Someone forgot to tell the Vikings, though. The turning point of the game came with 10:41 remainingwhen Central committed its seventh foul of the half, sending Western into one-and-one. The Vikings hit17 of 20 free throws after that point. The Vikings clawed their way back into the game, and a pair of TimDickerson free throws cut the margin to 45-41 with 10:15 remaining. Western couldn't come any closer,though, until Larry Tuell hit both ends of a one-and-one with 4:11 to play, cutting the margin to 49-47.DeFranco finally pulled the Vikings even at 49-49, with (what else?) a pair of charity tosses with 1:51to play. Both teams had opportunities to win, as the Wildcats turned the ball overtwice in the final twominutes, and the Vikings turned it over on a traveling call. But they got the ball back, only to have TimNicholas' 19-footer hit the backside of the rim and bounce away at the buzzer. Nicholas' shot came from the same spot where Todd Bailey's jumper gunned down the Wildcats last season, and DeFranco andCoach Bill Westphal remembered. "It was an instant replay," DeFranco said. "I figured it was all over."MIIMMH $2.00 off all kegs â€” Sunday thru Wednesday Westphal said, "I couldnt believe it. I knew itwas all over; I saw the ball falling through the net, only no one else did." Westphal also complimentedthe crowd. "I couldn't believe the crowd. They were great, they would not let us quit. "We were behind,but I looked around, and I heard the crowd, and I said 'we got this game, it's ours.' They were incredible," he said. Westphal said the Vikings planned to get Central in foul trouble. "Our second-half philosophy was to take the ball to the hole, and draw fouls, not to live or die by the jumper," he said. "When we'vetried that, we've died."

Last month that reporter, Michael Wickline, then-managing editor of the DailyEvergreen, took an upside-down glance at a memo on a secretary's desk and learned that WSU's Boardof Regents planned to grant retiring university president Glenn Terrell a 19 percent pay increase.Fortunately, Wickline's ensuing story touched off a statewide chain reaction of protest about theincrease, which would have made Terrell Washington's highest-paid public official. Last week the WSURegents bowed to public pressure, and reduced Terrell's pay boost to 6.7 percent, the same increasethat state faculty members are scheduled to receive. Those regents had to be forced to limit Terrell's payraise. One would hope Western's Board of Trustees will take advantage of the WSU hoopla and take itupon themselves to keep their senses when they discuss a raise for President G. Robert Ross nextmonth. Ross sits at the low end of the university-honcho totem pole with his current salaryâ€”apaltry$74,200 peryear. A 6.7 percent raise for the president seems fair, especially since Western's !faculty will receive the same. But why stop there? Almost half of that 6.7 percent granted to Western'sfaculty is doled-out to those professors deemed "meritorious"for excellence in teaching. As a result, amajority of faculty members are left with a 1.2 percent pay raise, while others may receive up to 20percent. And since university presidents must be meritorious to be in the position they're in, surely Rosswouldn't mind undergoing a merit evaluation like other state-salaried educational professionals oncampus. It would be the only meritorious thing to do. Higher fee needed for better service On Jan. 23Western students will be asked for their reaction to a possible increase next year in the $6 HealthServices fee. Options include leaving the fee at $6, or increasing it to $8, $9 oi $10 a quarter. If the fee is not increased, cuts in Health Services offerings inevitably will occur. Health Services would no longer beable to afford its contract with St. Luke's emergency room. Also gone would be two of Health Services'fiye part-time nurses. ' An increase in the Health Services fee. definitely is needed, but a $2 increase isn't enough and a $4 increase is too drastic for what will be gained. An $8 fee is expected to raise about$214,000, with an additional $9,000 coming from service fees and the Whatcom Medical Bureau.This would be $6,000 short of the revenue necessary to hire a new director to replace Evelyn Schuler whois retiring. The new director would be qualified to write medical prescriptions. A $10 fee would allow forhiring the new director and an assistant director, purchasing a computer and offering programs such as biofeedback and "wellness." By adopting a $9 increase, almost $250,000 would be raised allowingenough money to hire a new director and have almost $20,000 in reserve to allow for inflation and eitherpurchase a computer or sponsor some more programs, whichever would be most useful. In any case,students should voice their opinions at the open hearing tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge.Cinderella goes to the governor's ball Color coordination a must By Janice Keller C inderella goes to theball. . . or rather middle-class girl from Western goes to the governor's inaugural celebration. Never mindthat I had to dig out my beer-stained lace gown left over from my high school prom, borrow shoes fromfriends, and talk a wealthy aunt out of her mink coat and jewels for the occasion. Forget also that I hadto ask someone to escort me and have him give me a crash-course in ballroom dancing, then begBooth Gardner's office for tickets to the eventâ€”I was going to the ball.! Not only was the inauguralcelebration honoring a new governor whom I respect and admire, but the gala event had historicalsignificance as well. For the first time in state history, the Legislative Building, with its majestic dome,was the site of the ball. From the House and Senate floors to the third floor of the rotunda, the 4,000guests filled the grandiose building. The elected official's offices were open as well as the StateReception room, the governor's conference room and even the marble-floored cafeteria, for all to tour.Reino Moiso played for dancing in an Balancing toys between men and boys Playing in a nuclear ageelegant state room overlooking the capital campus, where guests danced until midnight. Fashion andcolor coordination are vitally important at this type of social event, mainly because the biggest reasonfor attending is to watch everyone else. Clothing must be appropriate and everything must match. Themen have it much easier than women. They throw on a simple tuxedo and away they go. Women,however, must worry about everything they wear. When 1 finished dressing, my gloves matched myshoes and my dress (a minor miracle), and my underwear matched my date's tie and cummerbund.But still 1 worried . . . until we arrived and the first inaugural guest 1 saw was a large woman in a dumpyblue dress and clunky black shoes. Assured that someone looked worse than I did, we floated into theball. For every Glamour "Do" at the ball, there was a Glamour "Don't," including one satin-clad lady whorelinquished her wine glass to swig from a bottle of. Riesling. Worse yet, the son of a well-known statepolitician chose casual brown shoes to wear with his black tuxedo . . . tacky, tacky, tacky!! Still, it wasfun to be at the state capitol with such a variety of power and prestige, as well as regular people likemyself, and have the opportunity to offer a champagne toast to Gov. Gardner. . .and it was worth the$20 ticket just to see my date walk out of the ball with a 1980 bottle of Hinzerling Vineyards Chardonnayin his pants. By Naomi Stenberg I t was a very simple war spread out on the living room floor. Theforces of Cobra, led by Zartan, advance from the jungle, creeping stealthily over the marshy ground. Alone 'copter appearsâ€”it's a Dragonfly JF6784026 with a red, white and blue insigniaâ€”Wild Bill, acrackerjack G.I. Joe, fires a missile. In the mind of the boy directing the war, a huge, gaping hole opens up. And Zartan and the Cobra forces are enveloped in swirling, noxious smoke. 1 asked the 12-year-oldcommander if he'd consider "nuking" the bad guys. He looked at me indignantly, "My G.I. Joes wouldnever drop a nuclear bomb. They're not that stupid." "Besides," he continued, "these are toys. The realthing can stuff it up their butts!" he laughed, turning to go back to "the front." Then he said soberly, "Thereal thing scares me to death." Nathan wrote to Reagan two months ago. "Dear Mr. Reagan: I think youshould stop building up. nuclear arms. I want to live to be old . . . " The letter was sent last week. Lastnight, Nathan's mother wandered into a mine field. Flip Breskin is a folk singer who was once run downby a truck during a peace march. She surveyed the evening's wreckage and said laconically, "Well,Nathan, maybe we could get out some sterno and show you how to napalm people." He said with morethan a hint of fear in his voice, "I don't wanna find out." Like most humans, Nathan is a study inparadoxes. He showed me a plastic pellet about the size of a baby tooth. "This is the only bomb I have.It's a flash-fire bomb, I believeâ€”blinds the pilot." He reminded me of something Truman said about thebomb that hit Hiroshima. "That bomb had more power than 20,00 tons of TNT," Truman announcedproudly over the airwaves on Aug. 7, 1945. "It had more than 2000 times the power of the British GrandSlam, which is the largest bomb ever used in the history of warfare." Maybe the only difference betweenmen and boys is the size of their toys. I wonder if Reagan floats a U.S. Navy in his bath-' tub. . . or plays with space missiles for fun. He doesn't seem to knowâ€”anymore than Nathanâ€”the true nature of histoys. At the close of the presidential debates, Reagan talked about driving along the Pacific Coast, being struck by its splendor and wondering about the people who would drive that road years later. "Theywould know," he said, "whether we used nuclear weapons or not." Ronnie, if your G.I. Joes drop anuclear bomb on the Cobra forces and they retaliate with even a fraction of their arsenal, there won't beanyone around to know if there was a coast at all. There won't be any beaches, ocean waves, AnnetteFunicelloâ€”there won't be a Pacific Coast. Grow up,, Peter Pan, and look at the gamma rays. This is our only time around.

On one hand, I applaud the rousing of an apathetic public to action against oneof the more brutal examples of oppression in this century. One the other, I deplore the lack ofcommitment, energy and devotion to the rights of those people suffering from oppression undercommunist rule. It seems to me that a nation must be traditionally aligned with the West in order toqualify for vilification by the liberal establishment, while excesses by communist or Third Worldcountries go unnoticed and/or unchallenged. There is a double standard here, and I think somethingneeds to be done abut it. I wish Yvonne Ward and her friends would champion the cause of brutallyoppressed Soviet Jews and Christians as diligently as they do that of black South Africans, it would bemore even handed if Ms. Ward introduced an AS resolution directing the university to withdraw itsfunds from banks dealing with the Soviet Union, as a gesture of solidarity with Soviet Jews andChristians imprisoned in the Gulag. The brutal mistreatment of these two groups is every bit as deserving of attention as the South Africans. Would the AS act as energetically on their behalf? I doubt it. SovietJews and Christians aren't the rage nowadays. They aren't "in." They're not getting the press. And worstof all, they're being oppressed by a non-western coun- â€¢ try. And people oppressed by non-westerrfcountries generally tend to be ignored. Now, if a group is being oppressed by a nationtraditionally aligning itself with the West, well that's a horse of a different color. For that group all the sorts of things can be done. By all means, withdraw our funds from institutions dealing with SouthAfrica. But withdraw them from institutions dealing with the Soviet Union, too. -Remember the blackSouth Africans and fight for their rights. But remember Soviet Jews and Christians and fight for theirrights, too. The time has come for the AS to prove it champions the rights of all oppressed peoples, notjust those residing in pro-western countries. Come on, Yvonne. How about some equal time andconsideration? Eric Leibman In Defense of Ward's Actions Western Front, I am sure that Yvonne Wardis more .than capable of defending herself, yet as a reader and an interested observer of this conflict, Itook offense to the level of unreasoning persecution displayed by Mark Watson in his letter of Jan. 18. Mr. Watson begins his attacking and trivializing Yvonne Ward's concerns over pornography and SouthAfrica; as if merely having an opinion is bad. If apathy is such an overriding concern to Mr. Watson,perhaps he should not be commenting. Second, Mr. Watson criticizes the move to boycott IBM sayingthat it would have been ineffective. Certainly, toppling IBM was not. the goal of any AS board member.The question was whether or not we should be helping IBM by purchasing from them. This is at thevery least a legitimate question. With another questionable display of argument, Mark Watsonwonders what Ms. Ward was doing reading Penthouse anyway. Surely an AS officer has a right, indeedas responsibility to react to what is being sold by this university. This is called university self-government and it is neither impious nor paternalistic. Finally, as if to proclaim that even blatant sexismis not dead, Mr. Watson asks whether the "surrogate parent" in Yvonne Ward would wish to cook forhim. She might, but considering the tone of his letter, I don't think that poison would be completely out of the question. Ken Bahm Board member disputes opinion Western Front, In your editorial of Jan. 15,you stated that "the AS Board is making resolutions to be followed by the rest of Western, and not by itself."

As an AS boardmember, my intentions are not to dictate what the students should think, but rather to provideopportunities for the student to learn abut the various social issues in the world today. the Bylaws ofthe A.

JManagement in Olympia, also is used by the board as criteria to determine administrative wageincreases. State institutions are kept competitive with those out of state so they are able to attracthigh-caliber applicants to job openings.. A list of peer institutions normally is given to the board forconsideration, Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said. The board receives a partial list of eight peer institutions which Cole said are commonly used as comparisons to Western.Among the schools are California State/ Northridge, Ball State Indiana and New Mexico State, whosepresidents earn $80,000 or more. On that list, Ross again ranks at the lower end of the echelon withthe average peer institution president earning $78,850, a figure 6.3 percent more than Ross. Only thepresidents of Portland State University and University of Idaho make less, at $72,528 and $67,184,respectively. Ross, who could not be reached for comment-about his potential raise, earlier commentedon the large wage increase granted Terrell, saying he thought public employee wage increases ingeneral should be acknowledged early on, but that the increase was not really out of line given the sizeand magnitude of the job. He said recent dramatic increases for key government posts in the stateplaced the Terrell raise in a "totally different light."

Dalrymple was quick to praiseRoss for his excellent job as president of Western, but was just as quick to reiterate the board wouldact with expedience. He said the presidential salary has been out-of-step with that at other stateinstitutions for several years, but the board generally has held that the presidential increase should bekept in line with those received by other Western personnel. "It's totally up to the board.

But now things have changed. In thepast year alone, shocked administrators and students watched helplessly as lawmakers in Olympiasliced almost 20 percent from the budget of higher education. With further cuts still a distinctpossibility, the future of entire academic programs now are in doubt. During the next nine months, and inthe years that follow, that future will be determined. Forecasts of what that future may be, vary, but topadministrators agree that the changes Western now is experiencing are immense. In addition to massivereductions in funding, enrollment is expected to decline by as much as 9 percent. The drop will endangermany programs dependent upon student-paid fees for their existence. Meanwhile, the school awaits thearrival of a new leader. University President Paul Olscamp announced his resignation last March,setting the stage for an intensive search for a successor, due to be named some time in December. Thechanges extend even further. Economic realities have forced a major shift in the way students use theirpolitical power. While this campus once was a hotbed for political radicalism, a very mainstream student-funded interest group, the Washington Student Lobby, debuts this fall. Although Western is shrinkingfinancially, physically it still has been allowed to grow. Construction of the South Academic Building, to be used primarily*for business-related courses, has been completed. Planned and approved several years ago, it could signify the last remnant of Western's era of expansion. If the era of growth has ended, thenwhat era lies ahead? One thing top administrators stress is that any move that would weaken Western'semphasis on the liberal arts must be avoided. "My biggest fear is that the university system could bemodified in such a way that the regional schools (such as Western) could all become technical schools," said Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs. "These kind of budget cuts curtail our availabiity tooffer a liberal arts education." Hard economic times also have been reflected in the way studentschoose their classes. "I've seen students become more focused on careers and on their education as ameans to a career, sometimes more than they should," Quinlan .said. Acting University President James Talbot agreed with Quinlan that students have been shying away from less practical academic programs, but he stressed that Western's future will remain tied to the liberal arts. "Students need to be reassuredthat following that world of ideas will still put bread on the table," Talbot said. Professional studies, oncecalled the "servile arts," provide applicable skills for the job market, hut liberal arts complement everypart of daily life, he said. While emphasizing Western's commitment to the liberal arts, Talbot and otheradministrators also raised questions of future cuts in low-enrollment programs. Talbot said further budgetcuts certainly will mean elimination of some programs and the consolidation of others. A committee nowis being formed to examine what programs may be terminated, he said. The future of various programs atWestern is dependent, of course, on future legislative actions in Olympia. And Talbot pre- . diets, the'legislature will dig even deeper into Western's already . ; continued on page 16 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Enrollment drop may cut deep By MITCH EVICH Thisyear's budget for student-funded programs may be as much as 9 percent smaller than last year, if alarger-than-antici-pated enrollment decline proves true. And although much of the decline had beenexpected and budgeted into this year's Service and Activity fee split allocations, it still will wield a"significant impact on student programs," Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. The dropin enrollment, tentatively estimated between 800 and 900 students, about 100 more than predicted inMarch, is primarily the result of an administrative policy adopted to maintain the stan rd faculty-student ratio of 22-to-one in the wake of last fall's Reduction in Force, in which 48 faculty members losttheir jobs. "If we had not taken steps to reduce our enrollment, we'd be in a hell of a mess," saidRegistrar Eugene Omey, explaining why admission standards to Western were tightened. "Hopefully, by keeping the student-faculty ratio intact, the quality of education that each student receives will not beas affected." Although it is not yet known just how much the enrollment drop will affect each of the three constituents of S A feesâ€”the Associated Students, the Depart-mentally Related Activities'Committee, and the Housing and Dining system, administrators agree that all student-funded programswill need to be closely scrutinized. "We have less money to meet greater demand," Quinlan said. "Wehave to look very closely at our priorities, and find out what programs are the most important." About$60 from each student's quarterly tuition goes into S A fees. The money is used to fund a variety ofprograms, ranging from interscholastic athletics, to day care, to various programs within the housing and dining system. The funding for such programs is going down, but the cost of operating them is not."On the one hand, inflation is forcing operating costs up all the time," Quinlan noted. "At the same time,enrollment goes down, and S A fees are reduced correspondingly.'' AS President Mark Murphypredicted the increased enrollment reduction "would make a dent" in the AS budget, but most likelywould be dealt with smoothly. Keith Guy, Director of University Residences, said the housing anddining system, which receives the largest portion of S A fees, will not be severely affected by the cost of the S A funding itself. Rather, the impact of the enrollment drop will be felt more directly, in the formof reduced occupancy in residence halls. The housing and dining system receives most of its fundingthrough room and board fees. Deparmentally Related Activities Committee chairman Larry Richardsonwas unavailable for comment. DRAC comprises interscholastic and intramural athletics, and various other extracurricular activities. This year's enrollment reduction may be the first of many in theyears ahead, if demographic indicators prove accurate. Omey pointed out that the baby boom era hasended, and the 18- to 24-year-old age group will shrink during the next several years. The trend isexpected to continue throughout the mid 1980s and then reverse itself toward the end of the decade.Tom Quinlan Cut threat provokes program review BY LORI McGRIFF While rumors of more cuts inWestern's already seriously wounded budget circulate among administrators, a move is being made toprepare for what some say is the inevitable. The budget knife is expected to return this year. But topadministrators and faculty representatives say this time they will be better prepared to make thecuts where they should be made. Apian .submitted to the^ Board of Trustees at its Septembermeeting calls for the creation of two committees to review all programs, departments and serviceson campus. One committee will look at academic programs and departments while the otherconsiders the strengths and weaknesses of non-academic programs. The academic review commit- |tee will attempt to plan for student populations of10,000; 3,db0, ; 8,000, and 7,000. The committeealso "will pro-'" t pose the criteria by which pro- : grams will be assessed',for possi- | ble' enhancement,reduction, , consolidation or elimination: Recommendation for any cuts in programs also: are expectedto be submitted to the Trustees. The committee will be composed of eight members. Ten nominations for six positions will be submitted by the Faculty Senate. Two nominations will be submitted by theAssociated Students Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators Association for theremaining two positions. The non-academic review committee will recommend changes inadministrative, structures, including possible elimination of programs and services. The committeewill be composed of six members. Five nominations will be submitted by the Faculty Senate forthree positions and two by the AS Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators for the threeremaining positions. Health service fee to be charged Students registering for six or more credits thisquarter wilibereqm^ when they pay their tuition. The temporary mandatory fee was approved by the Board of Trustees at Its August meeting and overrides an original plan tri'require payment only when servicesare used. The emergency measure was taken because of recent budget cuts and to insure that healthservices continue to be provided on campus, Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. ,The fee is subject to re-examination by the Board of Trustees duringthe quarte^and maype removed ' bywlhteh Q nian;saicl.s ' About one quarter of We^stSrn's student population: used the health, centerilast year. -Evelyn Schuler, director of. health services, said the mandatory fee will notcha-nge theservices, only;;; make sure tjiey continue. A Some of the services offered include,an allergy clinic andinjections, preventive medicine, nutrition/ diet/weight conferences, contraceptive advice and pregnancytesting. A physician and registered nurses also screen , students for referral to doctors in the area andsome medication for minor problems is available. Quinlan said the new fee will allow the university tomeet legislatively mandated budget reductions in student services without destroying the health centeror other services. If the emergency measure had not been taken, the offices of financial aid, academicadvisement, and career planning and placement could have had services cut or been required tooperate only four days a week, Quinlan said. The decision to implement the fee came after an ad hoccommittee for health services submitted a report recommending a mandatory fee and discou-raging auser fee. "â€¢/-:; ./â€¢" ] : The user fee would be too expensive to adminis- .: jer and could discourage-students without'-cash from coming to gethelp, Quinlan said. Four trustees voted for the mandatory fee. A fifth, Marven Eggert, voted against it because he said students should hot have to bear the financialresponsibility.

Located on the first floor ofCanada House, the club will open its doors tomorrow to all faculty who have paid the $5 initiation fee and the $5 monthly dues. Dues will go toward paying moving costs, maintenance and rent. While still in its planning stages last spring the club came under fire for using university monies to finance anarchitectural design for remodeling Canada House. Richardson, of the speech department, said part of the rent will go toward paying back the money. Opponents also said it was inappropriate for the Faculty Club to displace academic programs. Canadian/American Studies, which had occupied the firstfloor of Canada House, will move upstairs. Pacific Northwest Studies, which had been upstairs, movedto the Commissary in Fairhaven. A few quirks still need to be straightened out, Richardson said, suchas the amount of rent to be paid. The club will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.Richardson said the club may extend its hours on Fridays, but that has not been settled yet, , SAGAwill serve a limited menu .of soup, salad and sandwiches. Beverages and dessert also will be available.Richardson said until now, Western. had been the only university in the state without a faculty club.Western did have a faculty dining area until the late 1960s when protesting students stormed the roomand.took over, Richardson said, r The faculty club is needed, Richardson said, for faculty to have aplace to eat lunch .together;; and become more acquainted.

But work still continues on several other construction projectsscheduled to be finished before classroom doors opened. The Viking Union elevator, work on ArntzenHall Food Facility and the Viking Commons kitchen will continue to add the echoes of hammers and stacking bricks to Western's soundwaves. Meanwhile, business and economics students canacquaint themselves with their new south . campus building. The newest addition to Western'sdiverse architecture, tentatively named the South Academic Building, has 10 large classrooms, manyof which are modeled after the Harvard Business School's most popular classroom design. The five story building is occupied by the College of Business and Economics, except for the ground level floor,which houses the speech pathology and audi-ology department. About 80 offices and 60 labs are in thebuilding, which was designed with a "businessman image" in mind, Eric Nasburg, director of Western'sfacilities development offices, said. The grays, blues and and purples used were intended to follow the motifs being used in modern business buildings, he said. "I think people are happy with the design,"Nasburg said. But, he added, tastes change with the times. Wick Construction was responsible for thework done on the $6 million building and the design came from Robert Price Associates. Work on thebuilding began Dec. 2, 1980. The Viking Union elevator, delayed from its original deadline by almostthree months, is not expected to be operative until the end of October. Problems with matching bricksand delays in equipment delivery caused the project to miss its target date of Sept. 10, Nasburg said.The elevator is being built to meet state codes and to provide handicap access to the VU basement.Plagued with problems of meeting fire code regulations and contract agreements, the elevator first wasscheduled to be completed July 1. The $216,429 construction project was started Dec. 3, 1981.The Arntzen Hall Food Facility is expected to be completed Sept. 30. The coffee shop, in the southwestcorner of the ground floor of Arntzen Hall, still needs cabinets installed and the floor finished. The$200,000 food facility will seat about 100 people. Service will be similar to that provided at Miller Hall'sCoffee Shop, Nasburg said. The retiling of the Viking Commons kitchen floor should be completed thisweek, Nasburg said. The "wear and tear" of large food preparat ion equipment and water on the floorfinally broke up tile, he said. Construction on the Viking Union elevator continues. Recipients to getfinancial aid on time By JIM BACON Unlike thousands of needy students across the United States whoare caught in the middle of fights between Congress and the Reagan administration, Western studentsexpecting their financial aid checks when fell quarter starts will get their money. While forces on CapitolHill and in the White House have been fighting over new regulations, about half the aid money alreadydesignated for the coming school yearâ€”about $600 millionâ€”has remained undisbursed leavingschools across the country scrambling to help keep their students in class. The University ofPennsylvania, for example, is tossing in $2 million to help cover the financial aid program while it hopesto get the rest of its allocation from the federal government later in this fall. At the University ofConnecticut, students can apply for up to $250 in two-week loans. The school said it also will deferfees. "We won't have the problem like these folks have/' said Western's Financial Aid Director WayneSparks. Sparks speculated that the troubled schools around the nation either started classes beforeWestern's scheduled first day or they are on a semester system, requiring them to distribute half theirfinancial aid money right away. Because Western operates on a quarterly system, Sparks said, it mustdistribute only one-third of its aid money now. Sparks said the U.S. Department of Education sent formal letters notifying colleges of available aidâ€”and then only for half the total allotmentâ€”about two months later than usual. Western's financial aid office received its letter Aug. 24. The letter came late, Sparkssaid, because the education department sent its proposed new rules governing such federal aidprograms as the; National Direct Student Loan and the College Work-Study Program, to Congress about four months late. This caused much of the delay because Congress by law must have 45 working daysto act on the proposals, which were sent on Aug. -2. Financial aid administrators and students alsofaced delays in processing the paperwork required for Pell Grants. The payment schedule, which setsthe amount of grant money a student can get, arrived in July. "We should've had it by May or June at the latest," Sparks said. In addition, until June 15 the education department required that every student aidreportâ€” the form that tells financial aid administrators if a student is eligible for a Pell Grantâ€”must be validated with either a student's or parent's income tax return. Meanwhile, Sparks said Western expects to receive notice of the rest of its aid allocation by the end of the month. Also, the recent Congressional override of President Reagan's veto of a $14 billion spending bill will add $140 million in Pell Grantmoney and $77 million for supplemental grants. About 1,500 students applied for aid at Western thisyear, about the same number as last year, and the approximately $3.7 million offered to them is aboutequal to last year. Despite the late start in making awards, a financial aid spokesman said all theawards have been sent out. /? ^ \ ATTENTION STUDENTS RETURNING FROM SUMMER VACATrONIf you need new phone service, before you make a trip to the Bell PhoneCenter, we would like to suggestthat you contact the Pacific Northwest Bell business office on 1-453-3511 (toll-free) first.

The AS goal is to register atleast 2,000 people to vote in the Nov. 2 general election, said Jamie Beletz, an organizer of Project Vote 82. Volunteers will be at fall quarter registration at Western, dormitories, campus dining halls, day-care centers, low-income housing, the employment office, churches and the Beth Israel Synagogue.The voter registration drive, which started . Thursday, continues with auditor's deputies at fall quarterregistration. --People who want to become voter-registration deputies will meet at 2:30 p.m. today in theAS office, Viking Union 227. From there, they'll take a van to Whatcom County Auditor Joan Ogden'soffice to be sworn in. The AS currently has six deputies, said Jan Mabry, another Project Vote' 82organizer and the AS vice president for internal affairs. Project Vote '82, organized locally by the AS, isco-sponsored by the Washington Student Lobby, Students Opposed to Reductions in Education and the Whatcom County Central Labor Council.

They'll also be at Western Dining halls at meal times those days.Students can register any time at the AS office. Mabry said she hopes "several hundred" students willregister to vote.' 'We want to register every freshman," she said. College students and the poor havefaced drastic reductions in government funds and programs because legislators know they don'tvoteâ€”that's why higher education now faces severe cuts, Beletz said. Mabry noted that according tothe office of Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham), fewer than one-third of college students voted inlast fall's election. "I think the entire political trend is lending itself to greater student political activism."Registration is a 60-second process," Beletz said. But he added that those who want to be registeredneed some type of verifiable identificationâ€” a driver's license, a student ID card, a meal card or an oldvoter's registration card. Mabry said registered voters who want to change their residency need toregister again. What about those who aren't interested? "We're going to try to explain to them howimportant it is for them to vote," Beletz said. "It is important because students need to maintainpolitical credibility in the eyes of legislators." In addition to arranging on-campus registration,: Mabry has written clergy of 16 churches and the one Bellingham synagogue, requesting that deputies be allowedto register people Sunday at their places of worship. The AS also has asked clergy to encourage theircongregations to vote, Mabry said. Deputies also will be stationed from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow andFriday at the Food Bank, and they'll register people from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and Sept. 30 at theWashington State Employment Security Department Office. The deputies will go Sept. 29 and 30 today-care centers. And deputies will walk door to door from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at threeapartment housesâ€” Washington Square, Lincoln Square and Chuckanut Square. 6ERRIT FOR MENAND WOMEN 1215 MILL AVE. 676 1777 PRAIRIE MARKET VS2K wwu Campus Holly St. SHOPAND COMPARE Our everyday prices are better than any of the competition.

Although fewer students will be here, they will be the ones who deserve to behere most. By tightening admission policies in the form of higher minimal gradepoint averages andother criteria, Western's administrators are not, as some student leaders boldly have asserted, denyingdeserving students access to higher education. Rather, they have moved to avoid the greater of two evils, namely denying students access simply because they can't compete with spiraling tuition costs.Mitch Evich As Student Affairs Vice President Tom Quinlan pointed out, "We do not think it isethically responsible for us to admit students whose chances of success are very low." Quinlan Hitupon a note that those who believe everyone should go to college refuse to acknowledge. Access tohigher education is limited; that is a fact dependent on the structure of society. The question is, whoshould be allowed in" â€” those with the academic ability or those with the financial assets? A criteriabased solely on ability may seem a bit callous, but the alternative is much less desirable. The only other way of reducing enrollment is to eliminate more students via more tuition hikes, and it need not be saidwho would be the losers in that sort of game. One argument inevitably surfaces to refute suchassertions, based * on the student whose deprived background is in fact responsible for his pooracademic showing. But exemptions abound for such cases, and anyone showing anymanifestations of potential can overcome a deficiency in basic requirements. The college system can't accommodate everyone, and perhaps that is unfortunate. But let's make sure the people who areaccepted are the ones with the best chances of achieving a degree four years hence. Reagan's latest:one big pain President Reagan does not seem able to take a hint. Despite a lukewarm reception toward his "New Federalism" proposals (presented to the public last spring and quickly forgotten), Reaganis planning to re-ignite the fires beneath his pot of federalism mush and feed it to the leader of state andlocal governments at a Sept. 30 White House summit session. Our illustrious showman's latestbandwagon technique could tranfer 45 federally controlled programs over to state and localgovernments. Included in this proposal is Reagan's plan for the federal government to take over theefficient Medicaid and food stamp programs in exchange for a state take-over of the mismanaged,hard to administer Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. By handing over control of these programs to the states, Reagan is masterfully and conveniently unburdening himself. Peggy Loetterle iat could be easier than tossing troublesome domestic programs down to the states, hoping theprograms will shrivel up and die in the anti-taxation atmosphere of fiscally strapped states? Ourmagician's subterfuge is a new attempt to reduce benefits to the poor without appearing to do so. It's anow-you-see-it-now-you-don't trick designed to fool millions of lower-income Americans who are notreceiving enough help these days, anyway. The proposal will do little to relieve deficits or oiler anyinitiatives to abate the lingering recessionâ€”with the exception of diverting public attention from a still-puttering economy, huge revenue shortages and high unemployment. It's unrealistic to expect localgovernments to handle the burden of these costly programs when Reagan's policies already have helpedcripple rapidly deteriorating urban areas. And it's . rediculous to magnify their suffering by creating acostly swap-a-rama while most state, city and county governments still are straining under a darkrecessionary cloud. Perhaps Reagan is willing to brew up another, more nourishing, pot ofmushâ€”this time he can feed it to the one million food stamp recepients who've been going hungry since their benefits were eliminated. ![7J*jraEE2 gt; Fairhaven reflects Western's diversity It's easy to pickout freshmen during the first days of fall quarter. They're the ones who walk through Red Square with their heads on a swivel, obviously agog at just how much different this place looks compared to the typicalsuburban-area high school. The biggest difference is the people. Western has long-haired students,short-haired students, conservative students, radical students. For many people, that's one of the mostattractive things about Western. It's diverse, open-minded and open to academically oriented students ofany stripe. Newcomers to this 224-acre campus will come to appreciate that diversity. If they care abouttheir school, they'll be angry to hear that some of this university's leaders are considering closing downone of Western's shining stars of diversityâ€”Fairhaven College. Fairhaven is no stranger to threats ofextinction. Along with The Evergreen State College in Olympia, it's been one of the right wing's favoritewhipping boys in the Legislature. Hostility to Fairhaven can be traced to a vicious streak of anti-intellectualism in the Legislature. The men and women in Olympia who'd like to see the nationally knowncollege closed seem to think a program that doesn't produce tomorrow's business leaders just isn't worth funding. Several administrators and faculty members here apparently share that idotic, short-sightedview. That's tragic. Closing Fairhaven to save money is Reaganomics at its most mean-spirited level.More precisely, it would lend a hand in turning Western into a trade school that produces businessmenand technocrats. Now, we need bankers, electrical engineers and architects, but we also need men andwomen committed to alternatives to the normal and the humbrum. Future freshmen at Western shouldhave the chance to meet people from different backgrounds with different interests. If Fairhaven and other liberal arts programs here are terminated, future freshmen may shuffle through Tied Square with headsslanted toward the bricks. It would resemble another Red Square, half a world away. WSL needs votes;support your lobby Amid budget cuts and tuition increases, the Washington Student Lobby arrives on the scene reminiscent of the cavalry coming to the rescue. But, unlike the cavalry, the WSL can't whup thebad guysâ€” in this case, budget-ax wielding legislatorsâ€”all by itself. It needs the support of students.The WSL will have a full-time paid lobbyist in Olympia for the start of the legislative session in January.The lobbyist will strive to educate and persuade legislators to support the needs of higher education. The lobby is financed solely by students assessing themselves $1 at the time of registration. Without thisfinancial support the WSL will not be able to function at the level needed to do its job. But, studentsshould not just donate their dollars and expect the WSL to fight the battle for them. For t he WSL to besuccessful, students also must register to vote, which easily can be done at fall quarter registration.Moreover, they should vote for legislators who support students interests. Students are notorious non-voters, making them easy prey for budget-scalpers. Legislators, fearless of students voting them out ofoffice, are free to raise tuition and cut higher education's budget. The budget already has been hacked by almost 20 percent and the legislators have not laid down their hatchets, yet. If the students rally aroundthe WSL, however, they still may be able to hold down the higher education fort.

Or at least that's what is printed on the fall quarter registration map above the recommended 11 steps to a smooth landing onto the Western runway of higher education. I'm lost. Not because I do not know where I am, but because anxiety has struck as hard as on my first day of school. I literallywas dragged up the steps of Wade Calvin Elementary School in Sumner, screaming louder with each tug on my arm. I'm at Western now, on my own. I am expected to happily accept the trauma of beingherded like cattle with multitudes of other students, while trying to figure out what classes I want to takeand pray they are not full. I am lost in my own freshman fear. I realize the consequences of myoversleeping. I missed freshman orientation. So I now must find my own way through the registrationmaze, without the benefit of prior instruction. Faculty advisement helped me somewhat. I know whatclasses I should takeâ€” or at least don't want to take, which is nearly all the 101 introductory offers. Iam 15 minutes late for my 2 p.m. registration appointment and the drugs are taking effiect.

What minute pacification I received from actuallyfinding three open classes in the afternoonâ€”I like to sleep as late as possibleâ€”is shattered. I walkdownstairs into the myriad bodies. In the center of the bizarre convention of students is another stationwith lists of filled classes. It's more current than the upstairs edition. I have to check again to see whichclasses are full. Disaster strikes without warning. Two of my afternoon clases are full. In desparation I rip out pages of the magazine-style class schedule. I hesitate at an ad: "MARINES. Maybe you can beone of us." 4 p.m. After a blistering mad scramble, I find two more introduction-for-the-masses classesat 8 and 9 a.m. I stagger to each respective department table and collect yellow class cards. I ask if thecooling system is out. It feels like it is about to rain inside the gym, the humidity is so unbearable.Cautiously I sit down at the south end of the gym to fill out a computer card with my haphazard schedule. I take notice for the first time of Do Not Remove From Registration Area â€” stamped on the card.4:15 p.m. A violent scream sends my paperwork flying into the air.

I knew I was in trouble the first day I met my roommate and his 200-watt ampwith refrigerator-size speakers and his girlfriend Mona with the snake tatooed on her shoulder. Now he is screaming at the top of his lungs at me. What's that? Keg? Stack four? Taps in 15 minutes? Mind-bending substances available? I had to escape from the gym immediately. I collect my cards and hopeI've done them correctly. I sprint up the stairs to Gym A, the final check-out. I catch my breath andrealize the ordeal is almost over. The registration people have what they wanted all alongâ€”my originaldo not bend, spindle or mutilate cards. 4:30 p.m. At last! The fee billing station, the last stop on themap of disconcertion.

As of Friday^ housing officials were accepting applications for the 236 beds stillavailable in campus dormitories. "We have spaces in every building right now except Beta and Nash,"Director of University Residences Keith Guy said. But new residents of Western's dorms either will haveto send smoke signals or visit Pacific Northwest Bell's "Phone Mart" if they seek to contact the off-campus world. During the summer telephones were removed from campus dorms and apartments tokeep room and board rate increases at 5 percent. Guy estimated that remaining on the Centrex phoneservice would have led to a 9.2 percent increase. The phone removal will save Western $17,000 a monthin equipment charges alone, he said. Because Pacific Northwest Bell claimed students were notpaying their long distance bills, direct dialing was eliminated last year, Guy said. A dispute remained,however, about who would pay for the unpaid collect calls received on campus phones. PNB askedWestern to pay the bill but Western refused. Finally, it seemed best to remove the phones, he said.Students must arrange and pay for their own phone service this year. To accommodate the new system, PNB is operating a "mini phone center store" near the registration center in Old Main, Margie Wickham, PNB service representative, said. It will remain on campus through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.daily. Students can select their phones there, she said. Because of the new phone system, studentswill save money on long distance calls because they can dial direct, Guy said. Many students probablywill decide to share phones instead of getting one for every room and this will result in additionalsavings, he said. Depending on a student's credit rating, PNB will charge up to $80 for a deposit andabout $30 in service start-up fees, according to PNB rate schedules. Other policy changes in thehousing and dining system include new rules governing room changes and intoxicated Two studentswere surrounded by boxes and furniture as they moved into Higginson Hall last ! weekend. students inthe dining halls. In past years confusion and instability were caused by constant room changes duringthe quarter, Guy said. This year arbitrary room changes will not be allowed during the quarter. "Only inan emergency situation would we authorize a move during the quarter," he said. The constant roomchanges disrupt the staff and keep students from getting involved in their studies, he said. "Our staff are students, too," he said. Another change will give SAGA employees the right to hold the meal card of astudent who is obviously intoxicated. The card will be returned to the student after his meal. This willallow for easy identification of the student should problems occur, Guy explained. It also will simplifygetting retribution should damage occur, he added. If the student is so intoxicated that he cannotfunction, the staff has the right to refuse service, he said. Intoxicated students are not a huge problem,he said. "But the staff felt they needed this right." How to find a good bank your first week on campus.

MASON Huge wilderness awaits the hardy By MARK CARLSON ~ Make no mistakeâ€”WhatcomCounty never will be confused with Parma, Ohio. Beyond the pulp mill plumes of Bellingham and theDutch-reformed Kitsch of Lynden are hundreds of square miles of wildernessâ€”culminating in thehands-off-capitalism North Cascades National Park on the county's eastern fringe. Better yet, all ofthis wonderland is laced with hiking trails that allow outdoorsmen to probe river valleys, roam highland ridges and scale peaks. The North Cascades are considered by many to be the Lower 48's premierwilderness area. It doesn't take much money to relish this region's delights, either. All you need isenough gasoline to drive to the trailhead, a knapsack containing lunch, additional warm clothing, theU.S. Geological Survey map that covers the area you're hiking, matches, a knife and a flashlight. Inaddition, it's best that hikers never set off alone on a journey. If you break an ankle, you'll want someoneto summon aid. Of course, hikers should pack lightly only for day hikes in good weather. If you'replanning a multi-day trek through the wilderness, you'll need additional gear and a reputableguidebook, s u c h as the M o u n t a i n eers' 101 Hikes in the North pure Cascades. This article willaddress only day hikes accessible to anyone able to walk more than several miles at a single shot.Winchester Mountain Though it climbs to the lofty 6,521-foot-high summit of Winchester, this five-mileround trip is one of the easiest hikes in tne North Cascades. The toughest task on this trek is driving tothe trailhead. Travel the Mount Baker Highway to Glacier and continue another 13V2 miles before turning left on a road signed "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7." This road was built by the county and isn'tmaintained by the U.S. Forest Service. It's in terrible condition. Unless you drive a Jeep or some otherfour-wheel- drive vehicle, you'll probably want to walk the final couple miles to the trailhead at TwinLakes. The Winchester Mountain trail climbs through heather, alpine trees and flowers to the summit,which is the site of a long-gone lookout cabinâ€”on clear days it affords a sweeping view of the NorthCascades and the Puget Sound lowlands. The trail should be snow-free through the end of October.Chain Lakes Loop Mounts Baker and Shuksan dominate this six-mile journey through alpine meadowsloaded with blueberries. Follow the Mount Baker Highway to its end at Austin Pass. The first part ofthe journey is a dull hike up a battered gravel road, but things get much nicer at the formal trailhead atthe roadend. In a scarce few hundred feet you'll encounter a spur trail veering to the left. Keep right, for the spur trail crosses a steep and extremely hazardous snow field that's no-man's-land unless you own an ice axe and know how to use it. â€¢ " , The main trail wanders over a â€¢ 5,400-foot saddle alongthe base of Table Mountain and then laces through a series of pretty mountain lakes. You'll want tolinger at many spots along the way to listen for the whistles of marmots and the distant thunder ofwaterfalls. Between the final two lakes on your journey, watch for a spur path on the right. It gains 900feet in two miles and winds up near the trailhead, where your car is parked. It wipes out the necessity of returning along the gravel road, since the main trail winds up at the Mount Baker Ski Area. The ChainLakes Loop usually is snow-free until early November. Baker River This trail neither ascends highpeaks nor rambles through alpine meadow. Rather, the Baker River Trail follows the river of the samename through one of the few remaining wilderness valleys '-l the nation. And instead of culminating ina scintillating view of mountains and water, the Baker River trail simply peters out in the midst of adeep, damp forest. Because the trail crosses into the North Cascades National Park, you'll need a parkservice back country permit, which is available at park headquarters in Sedro Woolley. The trail hoversat around 1,000 feetâ€”that means it's snow-free most of the year. It makes a fine hike when the highcountry is covered with 10 feet of snow To find the trail head, travel on the North Cascades Highway,14Vz miles east from Sedro Woolley. Then turn left on the Baker Lake- Grandy Lake road 14 miles toKomo Kulshan Guard Station on Baker Lake. Follow the gravel Forest Service Road 11% miles beforeturning left on a "half-mile spur. Take the first right, and drive another half mile to the trailhead. Hikethree miles along the trail, enjoying along the way views of rushing white water and occasionalglimpses of Shuksan and other white giants. Have lunch at Sulfide Creek before heading back to the car. Thunder Creek Another wilderness valley, except this one deserves top priority for an outing. Its futureis in jeopardy. Seattle City Light wants to raise the height of Ross Dam, which would flood thisexquisite valley and ruin it forever. Find the trailhead at Colonial Creek Campgroundâ€”it's just off theNorth Cascades Highway near Diablo Dam. The trail follows an inlet of Diablo Lake for about one milebefore plunging into virgin-growth timber. A good turnaround point is at a campsite on McAllister Creek,six miles from the trailhead. Once you're back home, immediately sit down and write Seattle City Lightto strongly express your opposition to its plan to turn Thunder Creek Valley into a mudflat. Sendcarbon copies to Congressman Al Swift and Senators Henry Jackson and Slade Gorton. Cascade Pass Here's the granddaddy of them all. It's a seven-mile round trip to an historic notch high in theCascades. The pass has been a cross-mountain route traveled by Indians, prospectors andexplorers since before history was recorded in these parts. Drive the North Cascades Highway toMarblemount and turn right on the Cascade River Road 25 miles to the trailhead. The extremely well-maintained trail climbs at an easy 10 percent grade through forest for two miles before exploding intospectacular alpine parklands at the pass, 5,400 feet above sea level. Take care not to trample thefragile meadows at the pass, and don't light campfires. The area has suffered from overuse and the ParkService is seeking to rehabilitate those portions of the region that have been loved nearly to death. Butby all means exploreâ€” don't just confine your stay to a brief lunch stop. A two-mile side trip to 7,600-foot-high Sahale Arm beckons for the adventurous-the path winds to the left up a ridgeâ€”who seek evenmore extensive views. Other side trips deserve to be taken, which means you'll return to Cascade Passagain and again. Epilogue These are just a few of the dozens of tremendous trips the dedicated NorthCascades traveler should investigate. Explore as many as you can, but don't feel you should seek outthem all during your stay at Western. That's impossible. This area has enough adventure for alifetime of hiking. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 9 Rental shop serves man-of-all-seasons Many ofWestern's sendees are designed to help students survive the classroom, but at least one program cangive them an adventurous escape from the often gray academic cloud. The Associated StudentsEquipment Rental Shop in Viking Union 113 leases recreational equipmentâ€”including skis, ice-climbing gear, rafts and canoesâ€”and sells bicycle parts along with tools for bicycle repair, at low prices. Theshop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. During fall, students' biggest demand probably will be forcamping gear, John Forsen, summer manager, said. Stoves, tents, sleeping bags and frame andframeless packs could be in short supply, he said. Wetsuits are available for use* with rafts or for othersportsâ€” including wind surfing and scuba diving. As the seasons change, different items gain and losepopularity. "It (the equipment) is all very seasonal," Forsen said. Because of winter's usual snowfall onMount Baker, all of the shop's skis, boots and snowshoes are used during most weekends, Forsen said.The shop leases 30 to 40 pairs of cross-country skis and 20 to 30 pairs of ski boots. The shop's four pairs of mountaineering skis have no-release bindings, called "bear traps." Students can choose betweenwaxable and non-waxable skis.

Center aims students in right direction By SETH PRESTON Many students becomeconfused about requirements to get a degree. To avoid taking unneeded classes or missing the onesneeded, students can get help from Western's Academic Advisement Center. "Basically, at theAcademic Advisement Center we're interested in helping students get access to Western'sresources," said Program Director Ron Johnson. The center provides a full range of academicadvisement services with emphasis on the pre-major student. Areas of service include new and returningstudent academic orientation, general advisement for continuing pre-majors and special advisementfor students experiencing academic difficulties. "We're geared to freshmen and . sophomores, toadvise them while they're pre majors and to help them with General University Requirements,"Johnson .said. "Once they get a major, they get advisement from their department." Most advising inthe center is done by peer advisors, students who have gone through a training program to prepare themto cope with other students' academic problems. "We also function as a type of referral department,"Johnson said. "We can assess the individual's advisement needs and tell them where they can receive the proper aid." Johnson said he also sees educating students to make intelligent academicdecisions as a function of the center. "For many students, their freshman year can be shocking. Thereare a lot of new pressures, such as living with a roommate they've never seen before and a new systemof classes." The center also helps students experiencing problems with scholastic standing, such asbeing placed.on academic warning or probation. Student withdrawals from Western also arecoordinated through the center. Academic Advisement is located in Old Main 274, and is open from 9a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number for more information is 676-3850.

Hiroshima pleads 'feepeace ::i^liftfi^fcil3Srf^SiP-Wmm A war for peace is being fought. This is the first ina series on the protest against nuclear weapons, a movement that demands disarmament. Story andphotos by.MASARUFUJJMOTO HIROSHIMA, Japanâ€”Every year since the holocaust of Aug. 6, 1945,this city has pleaded with the world to end the nuclear arms race. At the Hiroshima Peace Park, the37th Peace Ceremony started with Mayor Takeshi Araki's peace proclamation. "Hiroshima is notmerely a witness of human history. Hiroshima forever is an admonition for human future. When wecannot remember Hiroshima, we will repeat the error, and it is obvious that the I history of mankind willcome to the end," said Araki, a survivor of the Bomb. The mayor has sent messages of protest towherever nuclear tests are practiced. Already this year 15 tests have been reported throughout the world. He urged all countries that own nuclear weapons to disarm now and swore that Hiroshima never will stop appealing for world peace. Every year the city adds names of newly identified bomb victims to the death list and dedicates them to the Peace Monument in the annual ceremony. This year 3,060 namesjoined the death list. Inside the monument are the bones and skulls of 70,000 unidentified victims. TheA-bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima is a reminder of Aug. 6,1945.

Dahlespecially is concerned about GOP-led slashes in higher education spending, pointing out Fiske hasvoted for tuition hikes and against education spending during his first term in Olympia. "We can't cuthigher education any more," the 33-year-old Sedro Woolley resident told The Front last week "It takesso long for any institution to build up its reputation, and if we continue tearing it down, we're looking at20 years of re-building to get it where it was." Dahl said she favors "closing tax loopholes for business" and making any future cuts in the "higher levels of the bureaucracy" to help fight the state's hugerevenue shortfalls. Services for Washington's residentsâ€” what Dahl calls the "lower levels of thebureaucracy"â€”can't be cut any more, she said. Dahl also branded Fiske as an "inaccessible"legislator, and vowed she'd meet with constituents regularly McMullen, who served as Skagit Countyprosecutor from 1974 until 1980, said he's running against Lundquist because of the tendency for HouseGOP leaders to conduct business in an atmosphere of backroom secrecy. "The leadership lockeditself behind closed doors and didn't tell the public what was going on during the last session," he said.In addition, Republicans "slapped the public in the face with so-called 'regressive' taxes such as thefood tax," McMullen said. McMullen called cuts in higher education outlays "short-sighted." "We'vegot to promote growth with educated people," said McMullen, who currently is city attorney for thesmall Skagit County towns of Hamilton and Lyman. McMullen knocked off Western political scienceprofessor Chuck Fox during the Sept. 8 primary. "Chuck could have beat Homer," he said, adding thathe entered the fray to "beat Homer Lundquist, not Chuck Fox." The 37-year-old McMullen said he thinksLundquist is "very vulnerable," pointing out that his and Fox's combined vote totals in the primary weresubstantially larger than was that of Lundquist. Lundquist did poorly in the portion of the 40th districtwhich includes Western, possibly because of his anti-colleges voting record in the Legislature. McMullen lives in Sedro Woolley. By LORI McGRIFF Although separated by fiscal boundaries, two Westernalumni in the 42nd District legislative race agree that education should be salvaged from the state'sshrinking programs. Republican Rich Bosman and Democrat Dennis Braddock won primary races lastweek, placing them in the final stretch for the seat that will replace Democrat Mary Kay Becker. Thebattle, they agreed however, will not be fought over education but on how best to balance the budget.Bosman, calling himself a "fiscal conservative" who doesn't want to see people get hurt by budget cuts, said he is against a tax increase. Braddock said he supports a 1 percent income tax with a threshholdexemption that considers ability to pay. Bosman, a political newcomer, said he needs to examine thepossibility of more cuts in education before he will support putting an end to them. But he added that ifcuts are to come they should be targeted at the administrative level. "There are some areas that need tobe looked at," Bosman said. The Washington State Patrol trooper said he doesn't expect increases infinancial aid from the state. "I don't think realistically it will happen." "Getting the very most for taxdollars" is one promise Bosman said he will keep if he is elected. "I'm against raising taxes if at all^possible." "' The 33-year-old Bosman graduated from Western in 1971 and later joined the state patrol.He's been with the state patrol for 10 years. Bosman in last week's election defeated Hugh Pottle, whowas seeking office for the third time. The Western graduate from the Lynden area has the Lynden-basedsupport that helped place state Rep. Roger Van Dyken, Whatcom County Executive John Louws andCounty Councihvoman Shirley Van Zanten in their positions. Bosman said he would do whatever hecould to avoid raising taxes and warned voters to be wary of Braddock's spending reputation. Braddockexpressed his support of higher education but said he didn't expect more financial aid to be available atthe state level. "It's going to be hard enough paying the instructors," the 38-year-old planning consultantsaid. " A member of the Bellingham city council for nine years, Braddock said increasing jobs can't bedone on the local level until the national economy picks up. "I won't promise no new taxes. I think we'veheard that before," he said. The state's fiscal situation may call for more money, he said. Calling thedeterioration of education the greatest danger the state faces, Braddock said he hopes no more cutswill become necessary. "I think we have to improve the educational system," Braddock said. The cuts have left it in "pretty dismal shape," he said. Braddock attended Western for two years in a graduatepublic administration program during the early 1970s. He called Bosnian's fiscal conservative stand "athreat to women's rights and the needs of society."

Services aid handicappedstudents By LESLIE NICHOLS Entering college is traumatic enough for a typical freshman, but thetrauma can be multiplied many times for a handicapped student. Western's Office of Student Life triesto ease disabled students' entrance into college through the office's services, many of which aresupported by volunteers. Perhaps the most significant for disabled students is accessibility toWestern's programs and buildings, a result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. One of the act's regulationsstates that classes and other programs must be accessible to the handicapped. Although the actdoes not require the handicapped have access to every building or part of a building, it states thatthe university as a whole must be accessibleâ€”and most buildings on campus are. In addition, theuniversity is building an elevator in the Viking Union. Mobility impared students can be provided withaides and a campus access guide which explains how Western benefits students and which contains a c c e s s i b i l i ty maps of the university. The maps show accessible routes, entrances and restrooms; routes that may require assistance; curbs graded down to street level and ramps; elevators, wheelchair lifts and automatic doors and lowered drinking fountains and telephones. Deaf and hard-of-hearingstudents may use the interpreter referral service and TTY (teletypewriter) or amplified telephones. Blindand partially sighted students can receive help from volunteers who take notes in duplicate and give oneset to the disabled student, read aloud a book or tape it for the student or read an exam. Wilson Library also helps students by providing study rooms where taped lectures or books can be" read." The libraryhas special equipment for vision-impaired students to useâ€” including tape recorders, a braillewriter, atext enlarger, braille materials and typewriters with large type. Braille is on the button panels of many ofthe elevators on campus. Western offers additional services and programs for the handicapped,including: adaptive physical education sessions such as swimming, volleyball and basketball; parkingnear major classroom buildings; door-to-door transportation to lt; and from campus; accessiblehousing; the Disabled Students Organization and the speech and hearing clinic in College Hall.

They observe figureheadstudent-politicians spending the brunt of their time being tripped up by nuances in parliamentaryprocedure. They watch their student government struggle for nine months to obtain that all-importantpop machine in the lounge, only to have it revoked by mandate of the principal. And they notewidespread apathy among fellow students. Some carry those same images throughout college, andindeed, Western's student government occasionally acts.in away to reinforce such sentiments. Butmore often than not, many observers agree, Western's Associated Students is the most effectivestudent political body in the state. True, not many students vote in AS elections. Last spring's 27percent voter turnoutâ€”ostensibly sparse to the casual observerâ€”was the highest in recent Westernhistory. But, as Western's acting University President James Talbot points out, the studentgovernment here "actually gets things done." "If you want to get involved in student government, this isthe place to come," Talbot said. Ton Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, agreed:. "The potentialfor student involvement in the decision-making process of the university is extensive." The AssociatedStudents are not loved by everyone, however. Student leaders often have clashed with university officials (most conspicuously with Board of Trustees Chairman Curtis Dal-rymple and former UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp) and even Quinlan notes that for the Associated Students, the "playing ofpolitics sometimes becomes an end in itself." But the-Associated Students' successes wouldseemâ€”at least recentlyâ€”to outweigh their downfalls. During the last year they led the way in formingthe Washington Student Lobby, a statewide political body designed to represent higher educationinterests in Olympia; spearheaded the organizational effort of the Students Opposed to Red-' uctionsin Education rally in Olympia last" November and, more recently, gained at least partial concessionsfrom the trustees in their legal battle relating to student involvement in the search for a new universitypresident. Seated at the peak of the AS government is President Mark Murphy, a 22-year-old English/peech communications major AS Work Day set for today the Limit," at noon in the VU plaza, livebroadcasts by KUGS-FM radio throughout the day and continuous showings of the movie "ReeferMadness" by the Drug Information Center. "The main reason for the day is to encourage students tobecome involved with the AS," said AS President Mark Murphy. . The Associated Students hasscheduled a "Students at Work Day, " an opportunity for new and returning students to become oriented with Western's student government, from 10 a.m. to 4 (p.m. today in the Viking Union Plaza and otherareas. The day will include a perfor- â€¢ mance of the swing band "Sky's who took office last June,following May's election. Murphy heads the nine-member AS Board of Directors, the final body ofauthority in student politics. In general, the functions that Murphy and the board perform can be dividedinto two basic categories: their dealings with the university administration and their decisions of fundingfor student-supported programs. Their representation on other governing committees can be viewed as a sort of domestic policy. In the same way, the AS board's relations with other universities and with thestate legislature is comparable to a federal government's foreign policy. As a result of massive budgetcuts during the past year, the "foreign policy" role took on particular importance. A stronger web ofinter-university connections now exists than ever before. But Murphy says many of the external collegeorganizations gradually are growing autonomous of the AS Board. The WSL, for example, althoughformed through student government, will function separately. Such autonomy, Murphy predicts, willmake the AS board more effective at home. "The AS has always been very active, but by being tooactive in external affairs, we may jeopardize the relationship (between the Associated Students anduniversity administrators)," Murphy said, referring to what he says is viewed by some administratorsas overly-extreme actions by students. "Someone needs to scream," Murphy said, "but now someoneelse will do the screaming."

It is in this realm that the average student is most likely to become aware of the existence ofstudent government. Every spring, the AS board, in conjunction with a university committee composedof students and administrators, allocates student monies to various clubs and organizations. As in allbudgetary processes, some groups come out looking better than others. "Some interests tend to belouder," Murphy noted. "But that doesn't mean they will be listened to more than others." In addition to its nine elected board members, Western's student governance system is filled out by scores ofappointments to univestity committees. Most students who are interested manage to be appointed tosome sort of committee, and thus gain initial experience in the Associated Students organization,Murphy said.

Each dining establishment on campus offers the student varied foodchoices, reasonable prices, atmosphere and scenic views. At the south end of campus, in the Fair-haven College complex, a coffee shop on the ground floor of the administration building looks out upon acourtyard surrounded by apartment buildings. The specialty of the coffee shop is a freshly grilledhamburger. Vegetable selections from the salad bar can complete the meal. Wooden tables aresurrounded by modern art on the walls. The lighting is dim and cozy. Arntzen Hall coffee shop is in the southwest comer of that building on the ground floor. Newly built, its projected opening date is Sept. 30. This shop will offer coffee, donuts, soups and sandwiches and a view of the new South AcademicBuilding. Miller Hall coffee shop is next to Red Square plaza and Fisher Fountain. Red Square is thecrossroads of upper campus. Students stopping at Miller Hall coffee shop should try a cup of soup or asandwich. Inside the coffee shop, the atmosphere is smokey and often noisy with conversation.Seating usually is limited. Food service is cafeteria-style in the three dining halls on campus. Dining halls are located in the administration building at Fairhaven College, Ridgeway Commons and VikingCommons. Although open to all students, dining halls are primarily used by residence hall occupants.SAGA Food Services, the corporation that operates the dining halls and most eating establishments oncampus, offers several selections for each meal. Every Saturday night is steak night. The same viewis available from the fifth floor of the Viking Addition coffee shop. Mexican food is a specialty and a potato bar serves up hot, baked potatoes with condiments.

HOLLY STREET-BELLIMGHAM-676-1111 GURstobe emphasized by Tutorial Center By SETH PRESTON ~ TheTutorial Center will begin its second year on campus with an emphasis on providing student tutoringfor General University Requirements. "The quality of the Tutorial Center depends on the quality of thetutorsâ€”the heart of the matter is student-to-student relations," said Ron Johnson, AcademicAdvisement Center director. The Tutorial Center is a sub-office of Academic Advisement and falls underJohnson's jurisdictipn. The center's hours have been expanded to make it better available to studentswith heavy morning class loads. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, instead of last year's 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The increased hours mean additionaltutors will be hired to maintain the same services offered before. Although the expansion is takingplace at a time of budget cutbacks, Johnson does not seem surprised. "Tutors are relatively cheapduring cutbacks, plus they are providing a valuable service," he said. Despite initial publicity difficulties when the center first opened, student-tutor contacts increased to 1,467 spring quarter from 941 winterquarter. "I was pleased and surprised," Johnson said. "The figures were much higher than I expected."The key element, obviously, is students' word-of-mouth. We'll expand or contract rapidly according tostudent opinionâ€” we have to keep up the quality." Johnson said the center will strive to do more of thethings it did last year, such as providing review sessions for GUR classes before tests. The center islocated in Old Main 285, and its services are free. Students are encouraged to make appointments bycalling 676-3855, but .appointments are not required. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Cutbacks felt all over campus By DAVE MASON Toparaphrase Mark Twain, any rumor of Western's death would be an exaggeration. But the recent series of large cuts in the university budget has forced Western to suffer a painfully strict diet â€” a diet thathas not only cut all the fat, but also has begun to weaken the university's muscle. Western's days as agrowing institution â€” from a teachers' school to state college to a university â€” have ended. Instead ofgrowing, Western is now shrinking with some programs being consolidated while others are dropped,deans say. The Board of Trustees has directed administrators to review the university's priorities. Even if no further reductions are made in the budget â€” the latest was a $1.4 million cut this summer â€”Western will have to lose more weight during the 1983- 84 year. Faculty positions that were spared thebudget ax this year will be cut in June. 'most severe year' And 1982-83 "probably will be one of the mostsevere years in our history, much more severe than the Reduction-in-Force (cuts in faculty and staff) in1976-77," said James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Deans, however, are optimistictheir colleges â€” and Western as. a whole â€” will survive budget cuts, despite how much programs arehurt by cuts and despite the patience the cuts will require. "I don't think the university is about to bedestroyed," said Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven College. "We do have to be imaginative. . . We'll have toface the loss of programs." Fewer sections of courses will be offered because Western reduced thenumber of full-time faculty positions this year to 426 from 474. Some classes will be offered only once ayear, Davis said. In fact, if more positions are cut, some physical education courses may be offered onlyevery other year, said Chapelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department. "Poly Sci 250(and 101) will be hard to get into," said Ralph Miner, chairman of the political science department.Waiting lists already have mounted for the courses, which are prerequisites for upper-division classes.Secretaries cut One change with an immediate impact is the reduction in secretarial staffâ€”by 50percent in the College of Arts and Sciences. The cut means departmental offices will be open fewer hours and several offices will be closed during the noon hour, Davis said. Students who call an office when it'sclosed will have to leave a message with an answering machine. In addition, faculty members may haveto type their own tests, allowing less time for research and helping students, two department chairmensaid. . Because of the budget diet, Western will have to endure obsolete equipment and equipment inneed of repair. "I have a drawer full of equipment requests by the faculty that I can't fulfill," said RichardMayer, dean of the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Funds don't exist to repair or replace acomputer the college has used for several years. Leaky roofs Lamer cited a hypothetical example ot anequipment problem. "The roof leaks and destroys the piano. It costs $2,000 to fix it. You do without thepiano." In the College of Arts and Sciences, 22 departments â€” some with greater needs than othersâ€” are competing for $50,000 for equipment purchase, replacement and repair. "We have so little moneyfor equipment," Davis said. "We have to pump it (much of the money) into computer technology â€”word processors and microcomputers." Pencils, books lacking Peter Elich, chairman of thepsychology department, said the department probably would get $2,000 for equipment. As much as$20,000 wouldn't be enough to bring the psychology department or any of the science departments up todate, Elich said. "There's scarcely enough money to handle material needs â€” pencils, books,periodicals, equipment," Elich said. To defray costs, the political science department now charges fourcents per page for copies of handouts. Meiner called the department's equipment budget "obsolete."The budget diet, however, could have been more severe. The College of Arts and Sciences â€” theuniversity's largest college with two-thirds of its programs â€” lost seven faculty positions this year. Itwas supposed to lose 14, but seven positions were saved by having faculty members who teach duringthe summer session not work during one quarter of the regular school year. But in June, the sevenpositions that had been spared will disappear and the college will have 14 fewer faculty members duringthe 1983-84 year than during 1981-82. This is the only school year the administration will allow summershifts to save positions. The budget cuts have hit small departments the most. In the College of Artsand Sciences, each department (regardless of its size) lost from one-half to one faculty position. Thebiology and home economics departments each lost one position. Thisyear the biology department has 16 full-time positions, meaning it had lost approximately 5 percent of its faculty. The home economics department, now with five positions, suffered approximately a 16 percent loss in faculty. "The smallerthe department, the more aggravated the cuts will be," Davis said. He noted that smaller departments(such as the journalism and speech departments) might have to be combined. After Nov. 1, thejournalism department no longer will have a full-time secretary. Larger departments are on a diet, too. In1983-84 the psychology department will have one and one-half fewer faculty positions than during 1981-82. "We'll have to drop small enrollment classes in specialty areas," Elich said. This year thedepartment dropped two seminar courses in child development and two graduate seminar classes.Western's growth took decades. Until recently, new programs and courses were common. Just 10 yearsago, the growth seemed to be unlimited. But for now, Western has to find ways to shrink with aminimum of harm to its programs. "Hope springs eternally," Davis said. He added, with a weak grin, "We never will see the golden days of the 1960s again." Acting University President James TalbotDepartments shuffled for fall By LORI McGRIFF The opening of the new South Academic Building setinto place a migration of college departments this summer that may leave some students wanderingthe halls in search of business, sociology and journalism classes. Betty Farnham of the spaceadministration office said the moves may leave students confused for awhile, but they will benefit inthe long run from the musical-chairs, approach. All departments of the College of Business andEconomics are in the South Academic Building and the speech pathology and audiology departmentsare on the ground floor. The journalism department moved from Garden Street Hall, to College Hall. TheFront now occupies the ground floor. Journalism classrooms and offices share the first and second floorswith the speech department. Student media offices, such as Klipsun, Western View and the KUGSnewsroom, are on the first floor. The third floor is reserved for speech (broadcasting) classrooms andoffices. The sociology department moved from the fifth floor of Amtzen Hall to the third floor. Theirvacated spaces will be occupied in part by the liberal studies department, which moved from the third floor of Miller Hall. The third floor of Miller Hall will be used for faculty research offices, visiting facultyoffices and an honors lounge. The faculty need the extra space, Farnham said. She cited pastproblems with finding space for visiting faculty and emeriti faculty. Garden Street Hall may be closedor torn down and the area used for a parking lot. Changes also took place in Old Main. Someadministrators were shuffled and administrative departments moved. Marvin Klein, dean of education, has relocated from Old Main 310 to Miller Hall 220E. The Old Main 300 office complex will houge generalservices, the business manager, vice president for business/financial affairs and purchasing. JamesDavis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been relocated to Old Main 375 and Old Main 360will be used as a conference room The unpacking of boxes and placement of new names on doorsshould be completed within the first couple of weeks of classes, Farnham said. Budget cuts had a bigeffect on the summer moves. Professors and administrators, with some student help, had to packtheir belongings and sweep out their offices before moving to their new, freshly painted offices, Farnhamsaid. Past moves have been done by custodial workers with more help from professional movers. â€¢The shift of departments created a supply of refuse, such as these boxes discarded outside the SouthAcademic Building. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 17 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 17 Westerns future unclear continued from page l) hallowresources. "I wish I could say no, but I expect there vill be more," he said. The WSL and other highereducation-iriented groups are trying to oust anti-ducation legislators from Olympia this all. But with theNovember election luickly approaching Quinlan says expect ng a rejection of Republican policies to becure-all to Western's financial woes ould be a certain mistake. "Change won't come automatically just)ecause we have different people in Jower," Quinlan said. "How knowledge-ible legislators are to theneeds of higher ducation is the real key." Quinlan said that Western is "preparing tu dents to take onvery complex roles in ociety "and that must be made clear to oth politicians and the public. Western'simage may indeed need to be )ushed. As Registrar Gene Omey pointed gt;ut, Washington now fundshigher educa-ion very close to the lowest level in the lation. If the public doesn't reverse this rend, Omeysaid, the results could be lisastrous. Nevertheless, many leaders at Western express confidence that asmooth transition from a time of devastating budget cuts to a new beginning as a contemporaryliberal arts college can be completed. But, says Faculty Senate President William Sailors, "Eachdepartment is going to have to justify its existence. We have to manage our destiny a little bit instead ofust drifting through the cuts." Search goes on for Western's next leader By LESLIE NICHOLS Manyfacets of the campus are undergoing changes and the shakeup extends right to the top with the search for a new president underway. r Western's presidential search committee is scheduled to submit its choices for a ew leader to the Board of Trustees next week. The board then will tackle the task ofpicking a successor by December. Search committee members have narrowed the number ofapplicants to IS and next week will present to the trustees a list of four to seven candidates from whichwill emerge a replacement for former university President Paul Olscamp. - Olscamp left Western inJuly to become president of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 15candidates were screened for certain qualifications including administrative experience; communication skills is\ dealing with faculty, students and boards; and experience in fund raising and working withlegislators, said Peter Elich, vice-chairman of the search committee. Members of the committee now arecontacting people in the candidates' communities, as well as faculty members, studentgovernment leaders and others in order to "get a variety of different points of view," Elich said. Describing the process as "fine tuning to zero in on people," search committee student representative DarcyRoenfeldt said the purpose of calls being made to the candidates' campuses is to get peer reaction tothe person and check on leadership style and rapport with students, staff and faculty. The finalists,chosen by the Board of Trustees, will come to Western separately some time during fall quarter,Roenfeldt said. Following final interviews the trustees are expected to select a new president and make* ah gt; announcement by Christmas vacatibh'tf not by Dec. 1, Roenfeldt said. y y Â§ L sa*d key tostudent fortunes PHOTO BY GARY LINDBERG By ELAYNE ANDERSON Despite student apathy andadmnistrative roadblocks, Central Washington University and the University of Washington joined theranks of the Washington Student Lobby this summer. Recent higher education cuts of almost 20percent and the largest tuition increases ever at one time prompted students to organize in the form ofthe WSL. The WSL still is in the planning stages, with many obstacles to be hurdled. .Its proponentsand organizers, however, are hopeful it will be ready for the upcoming legislative session with a full-timelobbyist. Although the goals of the WSL have not been clearly defined, its general aim is to protect thefinancial concerns of students and higher education, in regard to tuition increases and budget axing bylegislators. Mark Murphy, Western's Associated Students president, said the goals of the WSL aretwofold. The first is to educate and influence legislators to the needs of students and to persuade them to vote favorably toward higher education. Many legislators, Murphy said, do not realize the problemsfacing students today. "The don't see why we can't go out and get a part-time job and supportourselves," Murphy said. "In many cases, going to college today is not the same as when they went.They just don't understand the problems." The second job of the WSL will be to inform studens of whatis happening to higher education in Olympia by posting the voting records of legislators and keeping anupdated bulletin board outside the AS office in the Viking Union. Murphy urged students to call or writetheir legislators and vote for those who support student interests. "Student government has always triedto have an effect in Olympia, but without the students backing them it's difficult," Murphy said. "TheWSL wants to create a more politically aware student population, and 70-80,000 votes can make adifference. Former AS President Greg Sobel, who played a major role in organizing the WSL, termed it"simply a question of power." "Students as an unorganized group were vulnerable to budget cuts andtuition increases, which grew out of our impotence in the political arena," Sobel said. "If the legislatorswill not support student interests then the students will boot him or her out." The WSL actually beganorganizing last January, although the idea was discussed as early as the spring of 1980, Sobel said. The first stage was to get at least 50 percent of the student population at each four-year institution to signpetitions supporting the WSL. The boards of trustees or regents at each school then had to approve theWSL. Western ratifeid the WSL last spring leading the *way for It earlier looked like theUW might trashthe WSL, but now the lobby is moving along strongly. other schools. Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College are the only four-year institutions in Washington that have not ratified theWSL, having failed to complete their petitiqn drives. To ensure all signatures are valid, both schools must start over collecting signatures during fall registration. The WSL is supported solely by studentsassessing themselves $1 when paying tuition. Western will use a negative check-off system, in whichstudents not wanting to support the WSL merely mark the appropriate box on their fee billing cards.Students at Washington State University must request their dollar from the cashier if they do not want to support the WSL. The UW and Central have positive check-offs on their fee billing cards. The positivecheck-off system may cause funding problems for the WSL. Students may be less willing to exert theadded effort to donate $1, WSL organizers say. Murphy said although he would like to see at least 70percent â€¢ of the student population support the WSL with their dollars, he said 40-50 percent would be more realistic. "Times are tight," Murphy said. "I don't know how many students realize the importanceof the WSL, but I hope all who signed the petitions will donate $1." Because of the uncertainty of theamount of funding the WSL will receive, a few answers still are pending such as the size of its Olympiastaff. Murphy said petitions may have to be combined, but no decision has been made. Each schoolthat ratifies the WSL will have its own local chapter, which will send representatives to the statechapter. Although a National Student Lobby exists, the WSL has no plans to join, Murphy said.Nominations for local board members will be made in an open meeting Oct. 6, and voting will take placeOct. 13. All students who assess themselves $1 automatically become members of the WSL. TheWSL is not without potential problems. Thomas Quinlan, Western's vice president for student affairs,said he is concerned each institution and student will have their own interests, which may becounterproductive to the WSL's overall goals. Quinlan also expressed concern the WSL would try torepresent too many separate issues. "The concern I have is they will take on too much and neutralizethe impact they have," Quinlan said. Quinlan also warned that to be effective the WSL must do morethan merely say they support an issue, they must produce facts. "It is tedious research, but you need to have evidence to show legislators why they should support higher education," Quinlan said. Pointingout that Western's Board of Trustees supported the WSL from the onset, Quinlan said he sees the WSL as positive and having potential. "It (WSL) can make legislators more responsive to students andhighlight the interest and accessibility or inaccessibility of higher education," Quinlan said. The WSLalso will help educate students that a decision will be made whether they are a part of making thedecision or not Quinlan said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 18 ---------- (T Western Front Tuesday, September 21,13 ' Western computers do a lot more besides calculationsBy BARBARA SCABAROZI "Enter your student number," commands the computer terminal.

But without knowing what passageways to use or where to find the referencesection, that knowledge may seem inaccessible. Students wanting to acquaint themselves withresearch materials and selections offered can take a tour, conducted during the second week ofclasses. One-hour tours will be offered at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday next week Thelibrary has two faces, old and new. The double-arched north entrance still looks like it did in 1928, whenthe first Washington State Normal School students pushed through the wrought iron doors. Inside theentrance a portrait of Mabel Zoe Wilson, the first librarian and for whom the library is named, watchesover the electrical detection system. On the first floor are card catalogs, a reference area, reservebook room and circulation desk. Student identification cards, which will be needed to check outbooks, can be picked up in late September. Undergraduates have a two . week borrowing privilege;graduate students one quarter. Students may Tenew a book as many times as they want untilsomeone else requests it. Students should be careful to watch due dates, because fines are chargedfor overdue books. Western is one of the few automated university library systems in the PacificNorthwest, said Jan Nichols, reference technician and tour guide. Before trekking off to the stacks,students can check a computer print-out of books in circulation to find out if a book has been checkedout, when it is due and if it is being mended or is lost. Books not available at-Westem may be borrowedfrom other libraries through inter-library loan. The new student ascending the central stone staircasefinds what seems to be the second floor labeled "third" and no apparent way to go higher. This isbecause the central part of the building is the original library and the additions required separatestaircases and elevators. Additions to the library were built in 1962 and 1972. The smaller east wing has four floors and the west wing has five. From its 800-book beginning in 1898, the library collection hasincreased to over a half-million volumes. The additions, with modern ceiling heights, are joined to the old library, which-has a second-floor ceiling height of 33 feet. The attempt to keep the original building intact has resulted in problems getting from one wing to another. Only the first and third floors have centralareas. Nichols said she advises new students to avoid confusion by using the east or west stairs orelavators at first, rather than the stone staircase. On the first floor in the east wing is the periodicalreading room, where current periodicals and newspapers are displayed. Bound periodicals are here andin the east basement. The education library and reference annex are on 2-west and a children'scollection is on 2-east. The third floor has the literature collection. Science periodicals are on 4- west. The government documents collection, which includes U.S., Washington State and Canadiangovernment publications of many kinds, historical and current, is on 4-west. Getting to the fifth floor isa real trick The easiest way is from the first floor. Only one elevator and stairway connect to the fifthfloor, those on the south side in back of the circulation desk The Special Collections Department on the fifth floor contains university archives, rare books and the library media center, which provides aplace for listening to records, tapes and cassettes and for viewing filmstrips.

By MITCH EVICH It is a late-summer ritual performed at hundreds of other colleges, and thescenes are conspicuously uniform. Young men clad in synthetic armor drive up and down a playing fieldunder a relentless morning sun. Shouts of feigned pleasure arising in the midst of grueling toil. The shrillshriek of a whistle is followed by the dull thud of helmets clashing. It is, of course, the prelude to another season of college football, an institution that has grown as venerable as it has profitable. Successfulbig-time teams draw in hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in revenue. Other schools, smaller in size but not in enthusiasm, have cultivated the sport into a stellar source of campus pride. A visitor to Western's football camp during the long days of early September would have found things quitedifferent here. The football team is in danger of extinction. A protracted political struggle, a withering offinancial resources, and a 17-game losing streak have joined forces to put an unbreakable strangleholdon the program. The latest and possibly most serious damage came in the form of a referendumapproved by 54 percent of voting students last May, calling for an end to the use of student fees tosupport football. Political stormclouds The measure, which would effectively eliminate the sport ifimplemented, carries no binding authority and is technically nothing more than a yardstick of studentopinion. Its symbolic.importance, however, has not gone undetected. Players and coaches, althoughthey do not particularly enjoy discussing it, know the implications are grave. But while politicalstormclouds line up on this fall's horizon like so many nationally-ranked opponents, team members arekeeping their attention focused solely on the battles they have been trained to fightâ€”those that takeplace between the chalk lines of a football field. And despite a losing streak which stretches back toOctober 1980, and a spring recruiting harvest severely blighted by news of the referendum, attitudesamong the 60 or so players on this year's roster remain upbeat, a tribute to resiliency if nothing else.Optimism misleading . "One thing for sure, there's a lot more unity than last year," says sophomore AlCuaron, a former linebacker struggling to make the shift to defensive end. "Everybody's talkingeverybody's together." "It's definitely better," adds quarterback Eric Ummel. "A lot of it is due to atransition of leadership. I think we have a lot of guys with real positive characters." Despite surfaceoptimism, the bitterness left by the referendum vote and other political problems is easy to detect."Every spring they bring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and theregoes our recruiting year," laments all-star wide receiver Bill Handy. "We've got good people here, but you need tobring in new ones. You need help." When Handy was recruited in 1978 following his senior year atNooksack Valley high school, Western still could claim to field a competitive ballclub. Only one yearearlier, the Vikings had made it to the Kingdome for a bowl game with powerful Pacific LutheranUniversity. A year before that, Western won the conference championship. During Handy s years here,though, things have steadily deteriorated. Although the squad won a respectable four of nine games in1979, 1980 proved disastrous, producing one outright victory, and one by forfeit. 'I couldn't believe it.'Handy also has seen student dissatisfaction with the program interfere with the club's ability toprosper, an experience he perhaps politely terms "very frustrating." "I couldn't believe it," said Handy, his voice trembling slightly as he recalled the moment he learned of the election returns. "I thought I wasgoing to have to go somewhere else and play my senior year." Handy, like so many other Westernplayers, became a victim of a battle whose first nascent stirrings took place several years before.Inexorable forcesâ€”political, economic and demographicâ€”have washed over Western in recent years, and they have wreaked their share of havoc. The current crisis began most visibly in April 1980, whenthen-University President Paul Olscamp, reacting to the economic realities of spiraling inflation, toldWestern's board of trustees "some or all intercollegiate athletics" might need to be eliminated.Olscamp appointed a task force, which reported back to him in January the following year. Then thingsgot hot. Task force members initially recommended terminating football, but Olscamp convinced themto exempt it from the other six sports destined for the budgetary chopping-block Football was saved.Baseball, wrestling, golf, field hockey, and men's and women's tennis were not. The Associated Students Board of Directors, led by President Greg Sobel, were outraged. A presidential debate Sobel contended that by circumventing the task force and applying pressure to the trustees to accept his proposalsupporting football, Olscamp violated state law. Sports at Western are almost solely supported throughstudent Service and Activity fees, and therefore, Sobel argued, subject to student control. The issue,initially designed to elucidate the future of interscholastic sports at Western, suddenly shifted to aquestion of student versus administrative powers. The AS Board, flexing its own muscles, defiantlymoved to terminate football, and a complex struggle ensued. In the end, Sobel lost. The trustees'decision, providing football with a five-year mandate, remained standing. Off-field problems wereforgotten temporarily, as Western entered a season that most players probably would not want toremember. But while the ballclub completed perhaps its worst season in history, "Every spring theybring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and there goes the recruiting year.'â€”wide receiver Bill Handy future turmoil bubbled imperceptibly beneath the surface. On April 7 of thisyear, the issue erupted anew. Dan Vossen, a senior political science major, approached the Service and Activity Fee Split Committee with a succinct but explosive request: terminate varsity football atWestern. Rather than focus on budgetary problems, Vossen based his request on football'spotential for injury, most tragically illustrated by the case of Chris Thompson, a Seattle High Schoolplayer paralyzed during a game in 1976. Thompson won a $6.4 million lawsuit last February againstthe Seattle school board. Vossen backed out But when Vossen presented his plan, already filed as aninitiative in the upcoming student election, to a sub-committee of student-fee funding, he ran into theconsiderable opposition ofViking Head Coach Boyde Long. The 13-year mentor was more than willingto provide Vossen with a lesson in preventive medicine. "I had a talk with him about what we havedone over the years to prevent injuries," Long recalled recently. "He thought about it, and then hecalled me at home, and said he had decided to drop (the initiative." Vossen's change of heart, however,did not insure the initiative's removal. After nearly 500 students had signed petitions supporting theproposal, the AS Board voted unanimously to keep it on the ballot as a referendum. Ironically, Sobel asAS president again, became the spokesman for anti-football interests. This time he would not come outon the losing side. Doorbell effort failed With election day fast approaching, the football team in earlyMay staged a last-ditch effort to avert a defeat at the polls. For three evenings, football players went door-to- door among residence halls, defending their right to play football and refuting what they saw asinaccurate attacks against the size of football's budget. (One of the main arguments to drop the program was based on its high cost-per-participant, although football proponents argued costs werecomparatively low compared to other extracurricular activities.) The political efforts failed. Of theapproximately 2,400 students who voted, 1,300 supported the referendum. The close vote evokedcriticism from some observers who asserted the team did not do enough to help its own cause, but Longand Assistant Coach Rich Brudwick flatly reject such arguments. "I don't know if we could have won it,"said Brudwick a 270-pound former Viking offensive tackle. "But I don't think a football team should even get into a political battle. You shouldn't have to go door to door to try to get somebody to vote for yourprogram." Long put it more succinctly: "A football team should not be involved in politics." At Western,however, the football team is very much involved in politics, whether its members like it or not. And thestruggles are far from over. With diminishing student monies resulting from decreased enrollment, allstudent-supported programs will be under scrutiny by the S A fee split committee this fall. And inthose and other battles in the months ahead, the fate of varsity football at Western will be determined.Next: a look at what must be done if the program is to survive. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 22 ---------- 22 Western Front Tuesday, September 21,1982 Vikes seasoned withNBA: Westphal new cage coachBy SCOTT FISK The freshly engraved brass nameplate already is placed on the basketball coach'soffice door in Carver Gymnasium. An all-too-familiar back-to-school, moving-in scene is going on insidethe small two-desk compartment: carefully marked boxes and stacked in piles; bare walls, awaiting thepersonal touch of mementos collected over the years; soon-to-be-filled shelves that still have an outlinein dust of books belonging to the former resident. Western's newly appointed head basketball coach, Bill Westphal (brother Paul is the former Seattle SuperSonic star currently playing for the New YorkKnicks), takes a seat in his desk chair, which barely accommodates his outstretched legs. The 6-6Westphal, like his brother, is a former standout player at the University of Southern California Despitethe somewhat chaotic surroundings, the 36-year-old Westphal is relaxed and seemingly at home inhis new office. For the past two years, Westphal was the assistant coach with the financiallystruggling San Diego Clippers of the National Basketball Association. After owner Donald Sterling fired15 of 22 people from the organization to cut costs, Westphal got the pink slip. "There were other jobs(in the NBA) I could have looked at, but getting back to a college program really appealed to me," hesaid. "Timing was a major factor because I found out about the opening (at Western) shortly after I wasfired." Some might see his acceptance of the vacated coaching job at Western as a step down from the . NBA For Westphal it is an opportunity, in his estimation, to return to a familiar small collegeatmosphere. He coached for seven seasons at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif, which hasan enrollment of 2,000. "I like the atmosphere of a smaller campus," Westphal said. "After I made theinquiry (the position became available July 15 when former coach Denny Huston accepted an assistantcoach position at the University of Wyoming), the appeal began to grow more and more with me." Theselection committee comprised of Athletic Director Boyde Long, Women's Athletic Director and HeadWomen's Basketball Coach Lynda Goodrich, Sports Information Director Paul Madison andCommittee Chairman and Registrar Eugene Omey played a major role in luring Westphal. "I knew Icould work easily with them," Westphal said. "I wouldn't have come if I didn't like the people representing the school. It was a very relaxing situation." "It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I. wasencouraged byalot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Westerncould be." Born in New York and living in California for the past 35 years, Westphal brings to theNorthwest an impressive list of credentials. He: â€”averaged 22 points as a senior at Aviation HighSchool (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I was encouragedby a lot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Western could be.' â€”played forward at USC, where he was named the Trojans Most Improved Player in 1965 â€”was voted most Inspirational Player in 1966 â€”compiled an overall record of 111-77 as head coach atOccidental College and 64-20 mark in conference play â€”won three conference championships(1975, 1976, 1980) â€”was named National Association of Basketball Coaches District VI Coach ofthe Year in 1976 and again in 1980. â€”was-an assistant coach with the San Diego Clippers of the NBAunder head coach Paul Silas for two years. Westphal steps into a program, which thanks to the one-year effort by Denny Huston, bounced from a 4-21 record to finish 13-12 last season, made the playoffsand averaged 2,500 home game ' attendance last season. "It's great to come into a program alreadystepping in the right direction," Westphal said. "Denny did a lot to get it going, it will make it that mucheasier for me to continue improving it." Westphal pegs himself as a disciple of the John Woodenphilosophy â€” fast break at every opportunity, man-to-man defense and impenetrable presses."The pro game also will definitely influence my decision to integrate it (pro-style ball) into thisprogram," Westphal said. "But I'm undecided as of yet precisely what type of ball we'll play. Itdepends on the first month with the players. It will definitely be fast-paced and exciting style ball."Westphal will get his first look at Western's returning players and new recruits in a conditioning classhe wilj teach during fall quarter. Judging from what Westphal has planned for practices, theconditioning class is essential for prospective players. "Usually one-third or sometimes one-half ofpractice will be fast-break drills," Westphal said. "They will need to be in shape for the fast-tempo styleof ball." Westphal's plans for continu- Bill Westphal, Western's newly appointed basketball coach, sayshe is here to stay and plans on building a championship program. is to share a prestigious coaching job. ing to build the program by recruiting, he said, will not be hampered by the nonscholarship status ofWestern athletics. "It's a handicap, but I'm in agreement that it is another set of headaches when youstart buying players," Westphal said. "It can be overcome by having a good place to play (referring to his goal of filling Carver Gym this season) and a winning record." "Also having a name coach will attractplayers," Westphal said matter-of-factly. Occidental also is a non-scholarship college. Westphal said along-time dream he shares with his brother Paul and close friend John Block "We've always talked about someday coaching together at a major college such as USC or in the NBA," Westphal said. "I'd jumpat such an opportunity, but the likelihood of it happening in the near future is highly unlikely." .."It's like putting the pieces together of a puzzle," Westphal said. "In a way I'm writing my own adventure storyand it's rewarding to work with players who are attending school for academic as well as athleticpurposes." Alumni not nostalgic jocks after all I have seen too many Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis moviesthat portray the typical alumnus as the nostalgic jock who, at the age of 50, still buys season tickets for seats in the glee club section for every athletic event and can sing the alma mater without the aid of theprinted lyrics on the back of the program. I was pleased to learn that the Alumni Association is balanced with a mixture of academic and athletic achievement. And that the members are not a lot of nostalgic remnants of Western's past but simply people who are concerned with the future of higher education.. The president of the association this year is a graduate student at Gonzaga and next year'spresident is an elementary school teacher. These hardly fit the category of the Lewis or Martin anticsI've seen. Steven Inge, director of the Alumni Association, said many graduates of Western becomemembers of the association because they feel a "sense of indebtedness" and some join for the chanceto visit old friends. Whatever the reason, these people add a cohesion to higher education. Twenty-fiveboard members of the Alumni Association, residing anywhere from Vancouver, B.C. to Salem, Ore.,constitute a nonprofit organization. These people have the influence to sway legislators to vote infavor of colleges in Washington. Inge said some legislators have reportecrthat "when it came time tovote on an issue, they often remembered what a constituent of theirs had said and felt it was influentialin their decision." Western receives financial support as well as political. Ten percent of the association's funds go toward scholarships and a hefty amount each year is allotted for grants to be awarded to thelibrary, career planning, the theater department or whatever organization may need assistance^ â€¢â€¢ Amidst the deeds the alumni endow upon Western, the members devote their time to rewardingthemselves. The association has planned wine tasting parties at St. Michele and has treated itsmembers to a gourmet dinner. The association also is meant to provide an opportunity for alumni toreminisce. I've decided through the sports section to allow some of Western's top alumni athletes toreflect on their victories and to mourn their losses. To speak of a group of people as a whole can neverserve as an adequate description. The individual's personal experiences tend to enlighten far morethan an impersonal sketch.

Commercial St 733-4778 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 23 ---------- Tuesday, September 21,1982 Western Front 23 Western loses opener toPLU By SCOTT FISK TheWestern Viking football team suffered its 17th consecutive loss, 39-7, at the hands of nationally ranked Pacific Lutheran University Saturday night. The season opener for both clubs, played on a dry Indiansummer evening, was in PLU's back pocket after the Lutes mounted a 20-0 lead six seconds into thesecond quarter. Ranked 6th nationally in the NAIA Division II pre-season poll, the Lutes displayedoffensive execution, which did not make the Vikings look bad â€” merely outplayed by a superior foe.The Lutes rushed for 178 yards in the first half while the Vikings managed eight. If a candle can be put inthe window of the Vikings' dim performance, it has to be the "Ummel-Handy" connection. QuarterbackEric Ummel and fourth year standout receiver Bill Handy connected for 100 yards and the lone Westerntouchdown. But had it not been for an illegal procedure call during Western's second possession,the duo could have tacked an 87-yard painfully called back touchdown pass to their total. The Vikings'scoring drive, which took seven plays for 79 yards, was Ummel- Handy all the way except for two of theyards. It was during this drive that Ummel displayed the accuracy of his slingshot arm. Umrriel,plagued by injuries his first two seasons, may have the potential to throw past his 634-yard freshmanmark. Ummel completed nine of 23 passes for ir51 yards, 10 yards short of Western's total offense. The seore, 20-7, looked like it would remain frozen until the Ijalf.ended. Western's defense stopped-PI;U;i gt;n fourth and' one, then intercepted on "PLU's' next possession. ' Viking running back JohnLocker cuts upfield. the kill. After Western failed to go anywhere with the ball, PLU took the punt with4:05 remaining and went for one last drive. With 23 seconds remaining halfback Rob Spear ran aroundleft end for a one-yard touchdown run to finish the half 26-7. The Viking defense displayed good gangtackling technique, however, with plenty of hard sticks, unlike past seasons. Unfortunately, theaggressive defense usually came after Lute running backs Rob Spear, Nick Brossoit and Jeff Fohralready had gained first downs. The PLU trio combined for 259 of the 357 total rushing yards for thegame. PLU gained 31 first downs to Western's five. Typical of most season openers, the second halfbecame a defensive battle, with neither team scoring during the third .quarter. -,.--â€¢ V ..â€¢--, gt; i ^ 'The Vikings* failed to t:omplete a drive after crossing the fifty yard line for the Pacific Lutheran Universitydefensive tackle Curt Christiansen (78) closes in for second time. The rest of the quarter was spentpunting from their own 20 yard line. By the end of the third quarter many of the estimated 2,000 fans inattendance began to leave. The Lutes scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter on sharplyexecuted drives to raise the score to 39-7. Western has not won a season opener since 1971 when itdefeated Western Oregon. The Vikings' next game is September 25, 1:30 p.m. at Linfield College inMcMinn-ville, Oregon.

The varsity volleyball team played against a tenacious alumnisquad on Sept. 10 in Carver Gym. The original plan was to play two out of three games for a win, but the alumni team, sprinkled with a conglomerate of past Viking talent, opted to play a few more gameswith the varsity team. The alumni team had two all-region players from recent years, one of the bestsetters in West-em's history, and the wife of a coach here at Western. These women and a few otherswarmed up only a half hour before taking on the varsity team. The varsity team has been practicingsince Aug. 30. Only one starter and three other players returned this year, leaving Coach Paul Clinton"clueless" as to the team's future. Clinton said it would be unfair to even attempt to predict the team'ssuccess because he "has nothing to go on." Jackie Nelson, this year's team captain, and Sherri McKeeare the only two â€¢players Clinton has seen in game performance. Because fewer players j returned,Clinton reduced his team by five members. The team has nine players instead of 14, the size of theteam last year. Clinton said it will take the team about t"\ gt; matches to get organized with the gamepatterns. "Once they're organized," said Clinton, "the team members will be able to play their basicskills." "Right now, they're a young team." Last year, the volleyball team competed in the Association of Interscholastic Athletics for Women, but the association has since been canceled. The team hasmoved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The men's teams always havecompeted in the NAIA, thus deciding the change-over for the women. One of the alumni playersdescribed the Vikings' season: "It's hard to tell how the team will doâ€”both with the team being fairlynew and some of the teams-they'll compete against are unexplored by this team. "There's no way topredict." IF SCHOOL HAS TOU OUT ON A LIMB... RENT TOUR FURNITURE! RENT THREE ROOMSFROM '28.50 PER MONTH WITH PURCHASE OPTION.

Looking to start off from the last year's fast finish,Western women's soccer team again should challenge for the NCAA championship. The team has been placed among the top three for the last six seasons, winning two league titles and placing as runner-up three times. The Vikings finished their 1981 campaign by winning the University of Oregon InvitationalTournament. They defeated the host Ducks, who went on to sixth place at nationals, 2-1 in thechampionship contest. Coach Dominic Garguile's squad was 7-2-5 overall and placed third in the NCAAwith a 4-1-5 mark. The returnees for this season are All-NCSC forward Cindy Gordon, a sophomorefrom Des Moines; forward Colleen Clancy and all-league forward Paula French, both sophomores fromTacoma; midfielder Kelly O'Reilly, junior from Seattle and midfielder Karen Van Houtte, a senior also from Seattle.

The film is not rated. When was the last time you rooted for the Germans in a war movie? Billed as "the otherside of World War Two," the German-made "Das Boot" is an enlightening experience to a generationwhose only previous picture of the German struggle comes in the form of U.S. war time propaganda films and "Hogans Heroes." "Das Boot" is hardly propaganda material, its characters are neither banalparodies or flag waving super heroes. The story of a U-boat crew fighting a losing battle to the British inthe Atlatic is engrossing and compelling, never moralistic or emphatic. Even at two and one-half hours,the film retains an exhausting intensity. "Das Boot" is magnificently filmed, capturing the con-finedness of 43 men trying to survive in the small submarine/boat. The battle footages of encounters KlausWennemann plays the chief engineer, Jurgen Prochnow stars as the U-boat captain and HerbertGronemeyer portrays the war correspondent who serve aboard a German U-boat in 'Das Boot.' withBritish destroyers are The most amazing aspect of audience into another man's stunning. the film is theway it draws the struggle. The viewer at various times feels claustrophobic, jubilant, saddened andalways tense. The result is a draining experience. The action, far from the usual war film fare, is neverpredictable. The plot takes enough twists to keep the viewer as unnerved as the German seamen. Thefilm is subtitled, which doesn't distract from the plot or charecters. The subtitles are easy to read and the German language adds authenticity to the picture. The characters convey the anguish, loneliness andfright of young men with the odds against themâ€”the nationalistic, "overgrown Hitler Youth leader"who awakens to the truth behind the propaganda; the German youth secretly engaged to his pregnantFrench girlfriend; and the journalist who learns the meaning of fear and destiny. The cast is uniformlysuperb, with standout performances by Herbert Gronemeyer as Lieutenant Werner and JurgenProchnow as the U-boat captain. "Das Boot," the film that made big waves in its native Germany, isbound to hit home as a strong anti-war statement, as well as a portrayal of universal struggles. The Who turn full circle on 'It's Hard' By MALCOLM LAWRENCE The Who have accomplished the impossible.Behind the back of an audience that had written them off as well as the Rolling Stones two years ago,the band has released an album just as good, if not better than,' the classic album "Who's Next." Byrevitalizing the music into a defiant blend of the thundering Who of the past with a streamlined,synthesizer-laced Who of the present to take on the future, the band has found the zealous bite itoriginally had. "It's Hard" draws many comparisons to "Who's Next" because both albums share thesame kind of excitement of a world dynamically involved with the present, but still holding onto the past.Lyrically, and in many ways musically, a feeling of evolution weaves through the songs, which arebalanced by throwaway references to God that sound trivial but keep the strength and the motivation ofthe album tightly wound. The key to this is, of course, Pete Townshend, the once and future sentinel ofrock and roll, who has finally found happiness in his family, life and music. Although world affairs havegiven the 37- year-old guitarist enough ambition to continue writing songs, Townshend has" decided to accept the fact he is getting old and takes the place of the first father of rock gracefully. Awell of advicefor both young and used-to- be-young springs from the album in a curt, but not rude style with the intentto regroup the rats now that "the piper has been found." The twelve songs that comprise "It's Hard" spinoff the vinyl fast and confident, tying together many of the loose ends that have been left for so long. Bydoing so, the band has regained its energy into a cohesive, coherent whole, which eluded it throughout the 1970s. "Athena" heralds the opening of the album. A truly happy, effervescent Who song, perhapsthe first since "Going Mobile." John Entwistle finally has managed to give his horns a rich tone without sounding brash, and uses them throughout the album with the resonant style introduced on"Quadrophenia." The tacked on lyric "she's a bomb" distinctly sounds like "she's a whore" whichwould support the theory that Townshend has fused madonna and whore into a contemporary lady,sharing the values and vices of life with one woman rather than two. Of course, maybe it is saying "she'sa bomb," and comparing the essence of life to the substance of a stereo-typical- sex symbol: beautiful,but empty. Take your pick. "Cooks County and "Eminence Front" share similarities topically, but not atall musically. The former, reducing Clash rhetoric to the phrase "People are suffering," and by etchingthe echoed beat onto the lyrics, moves grudgingly slow like the breadline it evokes. The latter drifts alilting synthesizer on top of a behemoth beat that fully illustrates what the song is saying, about peoplehiding behind their happiness when they know that something terrifying, like reality, may lurkoutside. "I've Known No War" may be the closest the band ever gets to remaking "Won't Get FooledAgain," right down to the famous Daltrey rebel yell, which this time comes out as the word WAR Thestrings that keep peeking out signify that, although a victory, any victory may be in sight, it probably willbe only a brief one. The next song, "One Life's Enough," pours on more strings than the previous song,and sketches a lovely scene as tender as the Who have ever done, then yanks it away, as war can, tohammer home.the message. "Why Did I Fall ForThat?" rings with the warmth of a Telecaster dipped in a Western-style movie and yearns to know why society (The Who included) has been so apathetic whenit's four minutes to midnight by the Armageddon clock. "The truth is," like Jimmy cursed inQuadrophenia, "we have forgotten how we used to fight." Fight as struggle, not as violence for its ownsake. Many factions of a generation are pointed to on. this album; the punks, the heavy metalers, eventhe audience that has grown up with the Who, for not living up to the rebellious stances they onceadopted, now just using them as fashions. But "Cry If You Want" tears down any notion that the bandhas become stilted as they indict themselves as well as their fans, new and old. One glance at thealbum cover defines the current Who perfectly. The easiest way to surrender to society is by degradingits monuments, no matter how modern or traditional. But by respecting them and learning about themthe creative process can become eternal rather than momentary. Art as a lathe, rather than a hammer. The Who have finally returned to their original premise; screaming at the world with the knowledge of astudent' and the gall of a punk to try to unite the audience into an aware, excited bunch. As a variation on the lyric from "Cooks County," this group is so old it has ended up where it began. A nice bit ofcyclical philosophy for the band, once so intent on dying at an early age. Meet the new Who, same asthe old Who; at last. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 28 ---------- 28 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Fall Film Schedule Quadrophenia Nov. 14 Pixote Nov. 4 Fireman's Ball Oct. 28 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Thursday Films Sept. 23 Sept. 30 Oct. 7 Oct. 14Oct. 21 Oct. 28 Nov. 4 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Dec. 2 Voyage to Grand Tartarie Satan's Brew Rise and Fallof Louis XIV Kagemusha Kongi's Harvest Fireman's Ball Pixote Macunaima La Grande Bourgeois ASlave of Love Gallipoli Nov. 21 Saturday Films Sept. 25 Gates of Heaven Oct. 2 Cousin/Couisine Oct. 9 My Dinner With Andre Oct. 16 Rashomon Oct. 23 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 30 Nosferatu Nov. 6Seventh Seal Nov. 13 The Devils Nov. 20 Spider's Strategem Dec. 4 It Happened One Night It's aWonderful Place Sunday Films Sept. 19 Ticket to Heaven Sept. 26 Chariots of Fire Oct. 3 ExcaliberOct. 10 Neighbors Oct. 17 Mommie Dearest Oct. 24' Just a Gigolo Oct. 31 Poltergeist Nov. 7 PersonalBest Nov. 14 Quadrophenia Nov. 21 Gallipoli Nov. 28 East of Eden Splendor in the Grass Dec. 5 OnGolden Pond * * * Today! * * * Sept. 21 Star Wars (Shows at noon, 3, 6:30 and 9 p.m.) Mommie Dearest Oct. 17 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Kagemusha Oct. 14 Nosferatu Oct. 30 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 23La Grande Bourgeoise Nov. 18 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 29 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 29 Foreign films highlight fall lineup By GORDON WEEKS With the addition of a new projection system and format, the Program Commission's campus moviesystem offers students a "film goer's holiday," said Film Coordinator Andy Potter. The selection of filmsis "pretty encompassing . . . there's something for eveiyone," Potter said. "It's a gopd representation of art cinema in the last five years." . A foreign film series debuts Thursday with "Voyage to GrandTartaric" and continues weekly with such classics as "Satan's Brew," "La Grande Bourgeouis" and "Rise and Fall of Louis XIV." "Film classes are taking off on campus, and that's raised an interest in othertypes of cinema," Potter said. The Saturday series will provide a chance to see critically acclaimedfilms that are considered timeless, beginning with "Gates of Heaven" and including "My Dinner withAndre," "Cousin/Cousine," "Rashoman" and "Nosferatu." The Powerhouse Sunday series starts with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture of 1981, "Chariots of Fire." "Poltergeist," "Excaliber,"Neighbors" and "OIn Golden Pond" are a few of the box office blockbusters featured.

So'you thought selecting andpreparing your own meals was going to be a great adventure. It does present a challenge, and whilestudents have been known to survive three straight quarters of their own cooking, a few helpfulsuggestions could keep the poverty-stricken, SAGA-less scholar's taste buds from nodding off. Theinexpensive staple foods - instant potatoes, instant rice, and the granddaddy of them allâ€”Top Ramenâ€” not only are quick and easy to fix, but require the use of only one pot or pan. If you live alone noplate or bowl is required. Price variety is'another plus when purchasing these items. Boxed macaroniand cheese is a prime example, ranging from the u n p a r a l l e l e d Kraft brand (preferred two to oneby school children, we're told) to the lowly Penny Saver product (reminiscent of the paper-mache gluethe class clown would eat in third grade). By adding a couple of hot dog buns (leftover from the Fourth of July) to this leaden meal, one is bound to be satisfactorily bloated for hours. Turkey dogs and Viennasausages do wonders, and leftover macaroni can always be revitalized with a generous drowning ofketchup to make a hearty breakfast. Breakfast is the easiest meal to prepare on a meager budget,simply because most of us go without it anyway. But for the student with five minutes to spare, anything can become breakfast food. Month old bread Hopeful survivors of their own cooking, in this case PennySmart macaroni, Top Ramen on toast, and Generic beer. crusts are converted into toast, sale-pricedburritos are transformed into a hot meal, and stale donuts become. . . well, staler donuts if you don'teat them sometime. Buying meat presents a problem not only because of the cost, but alsopreparation. How many freshly uprooted 18-year-old guys do you know who can fix anything morecomplicated than frozen Banquet chicken? The idea is to walk a few paces from the mainstream meatsection to the multi-layered and multi-assorted bargain bin. Bacon ends? Fry it twice as long as regularbacon and it almost appears to have substance.

Be thankful that turkeys have enough body parts to supply the less fortunate withturkey "extras." Because college students seem to be "cleaning out" their refrigerators every few days,creative "combination" dishes are all the rage: spaghetti noodles, butter and parmesan cheese; chili-franks-n-corn; "bologna I' I I loaf'â€”bologna dipped in mustard (toothpicks optional); cold popcorn withmelted cheese; and of course Top Ramen with anything. All newly invented dishes should be tested onthe neighbor's dog~and keep your paws off his Alpo meat chunks. In a town where students are knownto spend their last $5 on a half rack of brew, the quantity-not- quality rule also applies to beer selection.No one likes beer, they just get used to it - so why not get used to Rheinlander or Generic beer? Nomatter how bland generic products taste, buying them creates a warm sense of self-sacrifice. Staring ata plain, no frills package leaves an impression of irreducible back-to-basicness. This image is confirmed by the product within. When you've finally hit ground level (half a box of Bisquick and a package of splitpea soup) and you can't find any change under your sofa cushions, the last resort is the old pop-in-on-your-buddy-at- mealtime ploy. "Hi, Frank! Just dropped by to return this book I borrowed last yearand...say, what smells so delicious?" "Huh? Delicious? Oh, you must mean Fred's tuna surprise."Well, by golly, I never realized Fred was such a gourmet!" "He's not, but you can have some if youwant." "Well (laughing stupidly) I guess a little wouldn't hurt." "You obviously haven't eaten here lately..." Take heart. Most of us have mothers to nurse us back to health at the end of the quarter.

The sturdy-looking, 90-year-old red brick structure offers a variety of programs: local history and industry exhibits and collections, fine art, ethnographic artifact displays,plus concerts, lectures and tours. Designed by architect Alfred Lee, the Victorian-style building also ison the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It served the town of New Whatcomâ€”later to becomeBellinghamâ€”as City Hall until 1939. A year later the former city hall opened its doors as a museum,thanks to the efforts of the Whatcom Museum Society. The museum remained in operation until 1963when fire destroyed the central tower. The museum reopened in 1968 after the main tower was rebuilt,the exterior restored and the interior remodeled. Reconstruction was finished in 1974. The museum'sfirst floor houses five galleries used for art exhibits. The exhibits usually run for six weeks. A recentexample was the annual "Fibers Unlimited Textile Show," which featured 63 original works of fiber ortextile art. Recently, one of the more popular shows was "Kaleidoscope of Toys," shown lastChristmas season. It drew large crowds, said Public Relations Coordinator Kathy Green. Differenthistorical exhibits also can be viewed on the first floor. These shows, originated by Museum DirectorGeorge E. Thomas, generally are harder to create and therefore run longerâ€” from three to five months,Green said. Two major first floor exhibits have been "5,000 Years of Art," on loan from the MetropolitanMuseum of Art in New York City and "History of Commercial Fishing on North Puget Sound." The lattertraced fishing from traditional Indian to modern commercial methods. The newest historical exhibit wasopened during the building's 90th birthday party on Sept. 10. "Magic Boxesâ€”The Development ofHome Entertainment Machines" is a "historical look backward at music boxes, phonographs, radios and televisions," Green said. Contemporary home entertainment systems are included. The MuseumShop also is on OPENS IN SEPTEMBER AT SPECIALLY SELECTED THEATRES. Check newspapersfor theatres. the first floor where gifts, books and toys can be purchased. Up past the elaborately carved ,oak stairway is the spacious "Rotunda Room," which fills most of the second floor. The room serves as the main gallery with regular monthly concerts by the Bellingham Chamber Music Society. Otherperformnig arts acts have included ballet, one act plays, poetry readings and puppet shows. Three turn-of-the-century rooms can be found there also, which give visitors glimpses of Victorian-style living.Several permanent displays take up the museum's third story. Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indianscan be seen, featuring woven baskets, stone and bone utensils. Here, too, the Green Gold HarvestExhibit demonstrates the history and development of local logging, utilizing artifacts, dioramas andpictures. Housed on this floor is an ornithological collection of more than 500 stuffed birds. Museumcollections include the extensive Wilbur Sandison and Darius Kinsey photographs, depicting early viewsof Whatcom County from 1890 to 1940. In addition, Indian artifacts, general history artifacts andcontemporary art objects are stored at the museum. Many organizations are affiliated with and usethe Whatcom Museum, such as the Audobon Society, bird watcher groups and garden clubs. Last year more than 12,000 school children from Skagit and Whatcom Counties passed through, listening to tourguide Richard Vanderway.

In the same motion the board resolvedto establish a Communications Council through which the three college publications, the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy, would be funded and to which they would be responsible. The council would takeaffect Spring quarter. Under present policy the publications have been directly responsible to the Boardof Trustees through President Flora and the student publications council. However, during the pastseveral months a question has been raised about w h e r e the P u b l i c a t i o ns Council shouldreport. The College Services Council sent four separate proposals on the matter to the All-CollegeSenate Thursday. The four suggestions included reporting to the All-College Senate in two proposals,both the AS Board and College Services Council, or becoming departmentally related. According to theAS Board's motion, the Communications Council would develop a statement of policy and procedureaccording to a set of guidelines attached to the motion, and the editors of the three publications wouldbe held responsible for carrying out the policy. The AS Board would be responsible for publication policyand allocation of funds but not daily editorial decisions. The Communications Council could appeal to the All-College Senate any decisions of the AS Board which it felt were a threat to the publications. Theboard's position is that it cannot legally or morally "support a group which does not choose to be affiliated with" the Associated Students. Attending the meeting were more visitors than the board has had thisquarter. Rodger Painter, managing editor of the Western Front, said the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility to the Publications Council, and this responsibility cannot automatically be switched toanother council. He said the AS Board would either be publishing separate publications or none at all.Rebecca Harris, AS Board member, repeatedly stated that the Associated Students cannot fund a non-AS group. Board member Joe Hann said that it is not fair to the students, the college or the communityfor publications to use space and equipment belonging to the Associated Students and not be affiliatedwith them. Publications fear that the AS Board will censure them by withdrawing funds, Harris said. BillDietrich, Publications Council member, said that they also fear censure from Flora and others, and thatfor maximum freedom they may try to initiate a subscription fee from students. An ad hoc committee ofthe publications council is currently investigating the feasibility of a subscription rate. An a l t e r n a t i v e to the Communications Council would be for publications to be under a senate council, in which casethey would no longer be a student activity, according to AS board members. The purpose of the board'saction, Harris said, is to establish publications as a student activity. Chairman Kennedy requested that a roll call vote be taken: five- board members voted for the motion, and two abstained. In response to theboard's action, Robert Thirsk, Publications Council chairman, said he didn't think the board had theauthority to dissolve the council. He said, "It's my understanding that President Flora approved the by-laws for the Publications Council. And only the college senate can change them. The board can'tarbitrarily drop the Publications Council or establish a Communications Council in lieu of it without theconsent of the Senate. The Senate is the only governing body that can do that, other than the Board ofTrustees." Council re-opens add!drop hearings The Academic Council has voted to reconsider itsdecision on implementation of the new add/drop rules. Acting chairman Joseph Crook announced March 6 as the date the council would re-open discussion on the new rules. The new add/drop rules whichwere approved last quarter by Academic Council has come under criticism because of its shortened drop period and its requirement that 80 per cent of all courses be successfully completed. The period duringwhich classes could be dropped would be limited to the first five days of the quarter by the new rules.Under current rules, classes can be dropped until the end of the sixth week. The new rules would allow a student to withdraw from a class after the drop period by taking a grade of "W" for the class. A "W"would be considered an unsuccessful completion. Grades of "F", "NP", "U" or unconverted "K", whichstands for an incomplete, would also be considered unsuccessful completions, but a "W" would not betaken into consideration in the calculation of the grade point average. It would be required, however, that 80 per cent of all courses taken be successfully completed. Failure to maintain an 80 per cent ratewould lead to academic probation and dismissal in much the same way as will failure to maintain a 2.0grade point average under existing rules. A major goal of the new add/drop rules was to cause thestudents to be responsible in the classes they register for. In Fall quarter 7,126 classes were dropped,nearly half of which were dropped too late to be added by students wishing to take the class. One side-effect of the decision to re-open hearings on the add/drop rules was the reversal of Academic Council'searly implementation of the "W" grading option. â€¢â€¢-â€¢ IT'S BLUNTED, just faking.

The self-study steering committee elected Jean Kruse as itsnew director Tuesday night. She will replace former director Harvey Stone. Kruse, former director ofHigginson and wife of the director of Nash, has been f a c i l i t a t o r of numerous self-study groups. As new director, Kruse said, "My first priority will be to get to everyone I can in the program and find outtheir feelings and . frustrations." . Kruse's second step will be to make a pamphlet, explaining s e l f - st u d y projects and presenting it to the faculty. Kruse will hold the position only five months. Even if thefederal grant is not renewed for self-study at the end of her term, Kruse wants to establish "good vibes"about the program so that it will continue. "It's a good educational process," Kruse said "and I believe it's viable." Even though it's a good Senate evaluation due soon Faculty relations major question by ALICE COLLINGWOOD A new concept in college governance for Western was born almost two years ago, andits progress will be reviewed soon. The All-College Senate had a slow childhood as it was organizingitself and learning about its constituencies. Many are only now beginning to recognize.its maturity. Thesenate was approved in principle by the Board of Trustees in June, 1971, and it is due for review at theend of two years. That review will determine whether the board will allow it to continue as it is or changeits constitution. If there is to be any question of the senate's effectiveness, some say it is likely to beaimed at the area of faculty-senate relations. Some senators believe challenges and non-cooperationfrom the faculty could undermine the senate's strength. Questions of the senate's powers in areas offaculty concernâ€”such as salary schedules, grievances and tenure and promotionâ€”have arisen sincethe senate was first formed. "The real problem is how to handle a small number of things which are notstudent concerns, REFERENCE TO SALARIES-Senate Chairman George Gerhold said the line between which matters the senate can handle and those it can't are blurred. such as faculty salary schedule,"Senator Robert Teshera of the geography faculty said. Teshera, who is also a Faculty Council member,said the question is who handles faculty affairs and how big that list is. He thinks students probably want a voice in tenure and promotion, which they would have were the senate to handle such matters, but hedoesn't believe they are, or should be, interested in deciding faculty salaries. Senate chairman GeorgeGerhold said the dividing line between which matters the senate can handle and those which it can't is a"very gray area." "This question has been' liffder debate ever since the senate was proposed," he said.Gerhold thinks one change that could be made in the constitution to clarify the senate's powers is insection 4.61. It says, in part: " . . . the Business and Finance Council shall appoint such committees asit deems appropriate to conduct its business. Among these committees there shall be appointed aWelfare Committee which shall have as its main function to develop and propose policies and schedulesfor salaries and fringe benefits throughout the College." Gerhold said union contracts cover most thingspertaining to faculty employment and this constitutional reference to salaries is a problem area. SenatorBrian Copenhaver of the general studies faculty believes the senate constitution will be approved by theBoard of Trustees if nothing intervenes between now and the time of the review. He thinks one of thethings that might intervene is a faculty vote against the senate. Knute Skinner, chairman of the FacultyCouncil, said the council may poll the faculty on the senate in conjunction with a review of whatrepresentation the faculty wants. One provision of the constitution allows the four senate constituenciesto organize themselves in any way they wish, with recognized agencies to represent and act for them.Teshera believes there are three alternatives for faculty representation: -Let the Faculty Council continueas a "limited-purpose" body. -Turn the functions over to the faculty members of the senate as a separate group. -Work through some collective bargaining agency. Senator Stanley Daugert of the philosophyfaculty, one of the original planners of the senate, said if the senate structure is finally approved as thecollege governing body by the Board of Trustees, the faculty still won't give up its powers. "The faculty isso jealous of its prerogatives that it isn't going to let the Board of Trustees tell it what to do," Daugertsaid. Teshera said he doesn't think both the senate and the Faculty Council will survive. He thinks thesenate is firmly established as the college decision-making body and will continue in existence. CollegePresident Charles J. Flora thinks the senate has been effective in doing the job it was set up to do-"bringing together -the various constituencies of the college" so problems can be discussed withmembers of all constituencies present. Copenhaver thinks some of the positive points the senate willhave when it is reviewed are its handling of such things as the Committee of Inquiry Report, administrative reorganization and the affirmative action program (for hiring women and minorities). ; "These point to aclear conception by the senate of its role in college life ana its willingness to act," he said. "The senateprovides a voice to the administration and the Board of Trustees that they are acting like they respect."Flora said the senate evaluation will be made during Spring quarter and that he does not yet have in mind any amendments that he will suggest regarding the senate structure. So far, he said, he is "pleased with the way it is developing." But Daugert expressed a note of uncertainty. "The.senate has lost somepower and has been challenged^ ignored and damned. It is hard to say how the review is going to go.''educational process, Kruse is frustrated with the way the program has been handled. Because of this,the new d i r e c t o r said that she understands the faculty's point of view. "Nobody really understandsthe procedure, or the self-study model for that matter," she said. "Not only is it a threat to their (thefaculty's) method of education, it's so sloppily handled, that it makes a bad impression," she said.About the self-study credit controversy, Kruse said, "something's got to be done about the way creditsare dished out." "We must show faculty, as individuals, what concrete results have come from self-study-we need their help," she added. Former director Harvey Stone is now program consultant, theposition he held last year. "I'm going to need him," Kruse said. "He's a very valuable person, and I'm glad he's staying on." PARKING LOT INCIDENT-Western student Steve Kirsop has been charged with thirddegree assault following a confrontation with security Feb. 4. Student charged: driving car at cop AWestern student was booked on charges of third degree assault following a Feb. 4 confrontation withsecurity in the Nash Hall parking lot. Steve Kirsop was driving a friend home early Sunday m o r n i n gwhen security patrolman, campus patrolman Dave Doughty approached his car and asked foridentification which Kirsop refused to produce. "I was dropping off a friend who lives at Nash Hall and Icould see no reason for the confrontation," he said. Then to avoid any further hassle, Kirsop said hestarted to leave the parking lot. The patrolman then stood in front of Jhe car, blocking it after it was inmotion, he said. Doughty then jumped onto the hood of the car as Kirsop was moving towards the exit,Kirsop said. T h e car t r a v e l ed approximately 50 to 60 feet when Kirsop's windshield was smashedby the patrolman's flashlight, according to Kirsop. Kirsop was "totally amazed by the whole ordeal." Heforesees a time when campus patrolmen, whose job is to issue tickets and protect campus p r o p e r ty , become police, enforcing actions that conflict with the rights of the students. He sees the incident as a "misunderstanding on the part of both sides as to who had the right to do what." Larry Daugert, aFairhaven lawyer, has taken Kirsop's case and the trial date will be set within a week. Security directorRobert G. Peterson, told the Front that no more information concerning the incident would be released at this time.

Louis Lallas, director of Western's Career Planning and Placement Center, saidthat "people who develop skills in looking for a job are much more successful" in finding one than people who don't have the skills. Job readiness includes letters of application, resumes, and interviewing skills. "In today's job market," Lallas said, "those who are landing jobs are those who can sell themselves. But . many students are unprepared in job readiness." In some cases, students have no idea what theywant and this has to be determined. Sometimes vocational tests are given and other times it's just a"matter of analyzing themselves. You cannot look for a position if you don't know what your goals are."When determining his employment needs, a student often wants a job that will fit in with his "lifestyle."The placement center provides information about companies and industries, and what kinds of jobs they offer. Unlike students in teacher education, who are usually "preparing for a specific teaching job,"students in the arts and sciences are entering a New rules stalled by Flora injunction very broad field ofemployment, Lallas said. He continued, "the basic needs" of both in job readiness "are still the same."The center provides step-by-step handouts, with detailed information, on the requirements for jobreadiness. Counselors at the center are available to explain the requirements. According to thehandouts, the first step of job readiness is writing letters of application and resumes. Letters should betypewritten on clean white SV^-by-l 1 inch paper and should be addressed to a specific person in orderto get proper attention. The first paragraph of the letter states the reason for writing to that particularcompany, and the second points" out specific qualifications of the writer. The last paragraph is aninvitation for further contact by mail or interview. Attached to the letter should be a one-page resume. Itshould include personal data (name, address, etc.), career objectives, education (since high school),scholastic and extracurricular information, employment experience, military status and date ofavailability. A resume serves many purposes. It can help a student determine and define his assets and liabilities, it can project his strongest qualifications and it Faculty Council declines collective bargainingjob The Faculty Council "declined the invitation" of College President Charles J. Flora to be consideredas a collective bargaining agent. In other action the council accepted the bid of Whatcom CountyPhysicians Service for faculty health insurance, and recommended guidelines for p u b l i s h i n ggrounds for promotion at its Feb. 15 meeting. Flora is asking all bodies on campus who are potentialcollective bargaining agents if they want to be considered for that job by the Board of Trustees. TheFaculty Council rejected the suggestion, with one member commenting 'that he "could not think of amore inappropriate body to take on this task." Welfare Committee chairman Willard Brown said that the bid of Whatcom County Physicians Service (W.C.P.S.) is $5 cheaper than the only other reasonablebid, which was offered by Blue Cross. He said that W.C.P.S. has also agreed to provide a bid for a major medical care program if enough faculty members do not want the comprehensive plan. T h e g u i d e l in e s for publication of grounds for promotion call for including the areas where the faculty memberexcelled. They specify that qualities which are evaluated as merely adequate not be listed. Thus, if aperson is promoted because of excellence in teaching, this would be noted. But if that person isevaluated as adequate in research, this would not be mentioned. The action is in response to Flora'srequest for guidelines on publication of promotions. Bach Mai fund drive raises $ 4 6 3 in B'ham A three-week fund raising-campaign in Bellingham has raised $463 for the rebuilding of Bach Mai hospital inHanoi. The drive, sponsored by the Human Rights Action Coalition (HRAC) and local Vietnam VeteransAgainst the War, is part of a nationwide campaign headed by Medical Aid for Indochina, Inc. All moneycollected goes directly to the fund for rebuilding the hospital which was destroyed by saturationbombing last December. Organizers of the drive see it as an important step toward what they call"popular responsibility." They believe U.S. citizens, as well as the government, must take an active rolein rebuilding Indochina. "The war was an act of our government with out funding and implied consent,"says Jeff Baloutine, a member of the HRAC, "We cannot abdicate total responsibility to the government for the rebuilding effort ahead. "With the Bach Mai hospital fund as the first step, people can expresstheir goodwill to the people of Vietnam by sending direct aid without depending upon the government todo everything for us." M e d i c a l Aid for Indochina,Inc., located in Cambridge, Mass., has set a $3million goal for the Bach Mai fund drive. In the first month of collecting, the American public donated$500,000. Baloutine said, "Response in Bellingham has been quite gratifying." can be part of hispermanent employee record and provide additional information to the employer. The resume can resultin an interview. Interviews are usually off campus, arid there is usually more than one interview for aspecific job. A preliminary interview d e t e r m i n e s if further interviewing of the candidate iswarranted. If so, an in-depth interview which covers the "life history" of the candidate and relies heavily on past experiences may be held.

Also, many interviewers feel that personal appearance is criteria that can either win or lose a job for the applicant. ERA battles State Senate The Equal Rights Amendment^ t o the U.S. Constitution" approved by Washington's House of Representatives by a 78 to 19 vote; nowwaits for Senate approval. P r o p o n e n t s of the amendment, which would grant equal, rights underthe law to all persons regardless of sex, expect it to have a hard fight in the Senate. There are 12women in the House; two voted against it. There are no women in the Senate. To bring the amendmentto a Senate vote, the Constitution and Elections Committee must pass it and then it will be put on thecalendar for a vote in the Senate. Twenty-seven states have approved the amendment to the U.S.Constitution; 38 are needed to ratify it. College President Charles Flora has granted an injunctionagainst recent decisions of the Academic Council on course withdrawal, probation and dismissal. Theaction came at Tuesday's AS Board of Directors meeting at the request of Board Chairman JimKennedy. The rules adopted by the Academic Council would require that all unwanted classes bedropped in the first five days of the quarter, and that students complete 80 per cent of quarterly andcumulative units or be issued a warning. The rules further state that if a "K" (incomplete) is not converted by the end of the following quarter, it would be counted as an unsuccessful completion. The AcademicCoordinating Commission will now review the rules. If it supports the Academic Council rules, themeasure could still go before the All-College Senate, Kennedy said. In other business, the AS Boardapproved a motion by student Linda Ballinger to establish an ad hoc committee to prepare a studentposition on faculty tenure and promotion. The committee, which is subject to review by the AS Board,will recommend policy to the Faculty Council.

Since the Food Bank was first set up in the basement ofthe Salvation Army building 18 months ago, volunteers have waged a running battle to keep the shelvesstocked with food. According to one Food Bank worker there is a crisis every month. "We've neveractually turned anyone away, but volunteers have sometimes had to go down to the store and buy foodwith their own money." Relying at the beginning on donations from churches and private citizens, thedemand for food grew to the point where the Food Bank's board of directors opted to join the SeattleNeighbors in Need, a food relief organization funded through a grant by the federal government. A monthly shipment supplies the bunk of the bank's food. According to one of the bank's coordinators, BeaTodhunter, the Food Bank served over 900 persons last c month. ^ "Every day it seems like people 3come in that have never been here k3 before. We try to give them a balanced ^ diet, but we're alwaysrunning out of lt;a things like meat, milk and eggs." aq "Some people think people just live off the FoodBank without trying to feed themselves. There are a few we feel are doing this, but most are n o t ." Each Food Bank user's name goes into a confidential file along with such information as whether or not theyreceive unemployment compensation, food stamps, social security payments, a pension, etc. and thenumber of children in the family. This is used to estimate the bank's need and keep track of who is using its services. All age groups use the Food Bank according to Todhunter. A lot of men RUNNINGBATTLEâ€”The Food Bank tries to provide a balanced diet for people who come in, but it is alwaysrunning out of supplies.

They can't live at home because their parents would be docked on their welfare checks. It's atough row to hoe." Local churches and individuals donate food and a little money and one recentneighborhood canvassing drive, organized with the help of the Army Reserve personnel and trucks, netted 40 boxes of groceries. But the Food Bank runs out of supplies every month and this June theNeighbors in Need federal grant will run out, dperiving the bank of its major supply of food. Another bankcoordinator, JoAnne Cross, hopes for a renewal of the grant on either the state or federal level. "We'vesent letters to Jackson, Magnuson, and Meeds and we're still encouraging people to talk to theirlegislators in Olympia, but we have nothing concrete. We're the most hopeful about Magnuson; he wasresponsible for the grant in the first place. When asked if larger food drives and church contributionscould make up for the loss of Neighbors in Need support, Food Bank workers said it was possible butnot probable. Similar banks in Ferndale and Lynden operate on the contributions of the town's people and churches alone, but the larger Bellingham community doesn't seem as responsive. Todhunter thinks ifthe grant is not renewed, and local contributions fail to make up the difference, the bank will have tobegin strict inspection of all applicants and start turning some away. Suggestions to avoid this havebeen: asking each person in Bellingham to donate one dollar to the bank; asking each church inBellingham to donate five dollars per month; and organizing city-wide paper drives. The Food Bank staffis determined to provide their services to anyone who needs them. As one worker said, "We'll operateany way we can." House passes 19-year-old drinking bill (The Senate Rules Committee bottled this bill Wednesday. For the second time, by a 7-6 vote, they chose not to send it to the floor.) The bill to lower the drinking age to 19 has been approved by the Washington State House of Representatives. Themeasure passed after an amendment to the bill increased the minimum age from 18 to 19. The bill isnow before the Senate Rules Committee. Its chances of reaching the floor during the current session are considered to be favorable. On the 80-17 vote for the bill, Reps. Barney Goltz, D-Bellingham, DuaneBerentson, R-Burlington and Don Hansey, R-Bellingham, voted in favor. Only Rep. Dan Van Dyk, D-Lynden voted against it. Van Dyk explained the major question involved the rights of majority, all of which were conferred by the last session except the drinking privilege. He said he couldn't support a bill which didn't recognize that question. ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 23,1973 Western Front 5 the â€ž western front editorials...

Q19?3 6.Mrter New council isbad idea Press repression is alive and well on Western's campus. The AS Board of Directors Mondaycapped a series of threats and ultimatums to publications by resolving to create their own"Communications Council" and have it responsible for student publications. The board decided toconstruct a new council around a policy whichâ€”less than a week earlierâ€”was labeled "unworkable" by he Student Publications Council and rejected by the College Services Council. As its rationale for theaction, the board blames the Publications Council for not affiliating itself with the AS government. Theresolution to create a new council replaced an earlier board motion to cut off all funds for publications atthe end of this quarter. What the board, in its impatience, has failed to take into account is that thecurrent Publications Council is responsible to the Board of Trustees through the college president. Acouncil so established has no authority to "affiliate" itself with Associated Students or anyone else.Also, the trustees, through the president, have authorized the current Publications Council to act for thecollege as publisher of The Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy. For one faction on campus to try tosupercede that authorization and claim for itself the role of campus publisher is not only dangerous, it'sridiculous. The board of directors say they will still expect the trustees to accept legal responsibility forcollege publications, even though the trustees will have no voice in how they are structured and operated. This is extremely unlikely. Another aspect of the problem that the AS board fails to recognize is that thequestion of where publications should fit into the all-college governance structure has been sent to theAll-College Senate. Until the Senate decides where publications fit in, it would be ludicrous for thepresent Publications Council to "affiliate" itself with any group. Likewise, it is just as ridiculous for anyone Senate constituency, like AS, to decide that it will be the publications' boss and act as campuspublisher. Still more ridiculous and infantile have been the "You better play ball with us or we'll cut yourfunds" ultimatums that student government has ' been sending to the Publications Council and to thepublications staffs themselves. Another flaw in the AS thinking is in the actual implementation of the"Communications Council." Its document calls for representatives from the publications staffs, from theSenate's Faculty Caucus, the Staff Council and the administration. But until the publications matter issettled on an all-college level, it is extremely doubtful that these groups will send anyone to the ASBoard's new maverick council. The basic point that the AS Board seems to miss is that the only way toinsure a free press on campus is to so structure the publication process so that no one group can takecontrol or impose its wishes. The board's- attitude toward publications demonstrates, at best, a grossmisunderstanding of the situation, and at worst, a desire for press control ala Nixon. The directors saythey have the power to back up their action because they hold the purse strings to publications. If thisproves to be the case, then it only serves to demonstrate that it's high time the publications purse strings be placed in steadier, more responsible hands. / tbe_ western front staff EDITOR: Jack BroomMANAGING EDITOR: Rodger Painter PRODUCTION: Duff Wilson EDITORIAL PHONE 676-3161SPORTS: Howard Scott ADVERTISING PHONE 676-3160 COPY EDITORS: James Heitzman, RahnLahti, Dennis Mansker, Judy Mooers, Dennis Ritchie AD MANAGER: Richard Roff GRAPHICS: ElsiVassdal, Sue Giese BUSINESS MANAGER: Terri Whitney PHOTO EDITOR: Roberi NealePHOTOGRAPHERS: Bob McLauchlan, Thomas Schultz, Jim Thomson REPORTERS: ChristineAnderson, Scott Anderson, Rob Baldwin, Alan Bauer, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Sonja Brown, DougCockburn, Alice Collingwood, Bill Dietrich, Nicholas Gardner, Victoria Hamilton, John Harris, Bruce-Hayes, Rochelle Henderson, Heidi Henken, Tom Home, O.K.

[ letters. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Finds no 'love' in atheists Editor, Western Front: Iwas quite intrigued when I picked up a Western Front and read '"Militant Atheists' Counterattack," so Iopened my paper and found an article entitled "Atheists Organize Against Christians." Somehow whatI'd read up to this point just didn't bring visions of love and non-violence to my mind. And then, when Iread '"Our first target is the Campus Crusade for Christ'," I looked skyward to see if any bombs werefalling. I never could find the word "LOVE" in the article, yet God loves us all even if we are atheists whodon't know that He exists. Perhaps if these people would seek God's love both in the Bible and in theirhearts they would find that Christians aren't attacking them. Our goals are pretty much the same, ifpeople don't wake up to themselves they all will perish. Doug Coleman Snohomish, Wash. Hospital fee 'outrageous* Editor, Western Front: Your article in high praise of St. Luke's Emergency Facilities(Emergency center operates efficiently; Feb. 16, 1973) ignores the single largest problem. I quote fromthe article itself "The cost of emergency treatment varies at St. Luke's. A flat emergency fee ($10) andphysician's fee ($12) is charged to all patients." The writer seems to pass by this outrageous fee as if itwere nothing. An emergency center must not only be efficient, but must be economically open to all. Ifone has to weigh the question of whether or not to see medical help, then there is something horriblywrong. Dick Falkenbury Fairhaven Disruption policy puzzling Editor, Western Front: These Christianfanatics have gone too far! They dare proclaim their message in classes! So the campusâ€”studentsand administrationâ€”is up in arms over this clear and present danger. Dean McDonald emphasizes thatthese Christians are out of line and violate college policy. But, tell me this. During the past three or fouryears when disrupting, nihilist students took over parts of many class periods with their "take it over-shut it down, occupy and desecrate, talk no-violence yes, grant our non-negotiable demands, the college isirrelevant and dehumanizing, down with e v e r y t h i n g " messages the student body at Western, thecollege administration and Dean McDonald were curiously silent! Question: Where were the objectors to, usurping class time then? Why did it take the college approximately three years to announce a policyagainst class disrupters? Answer: Fear. Everybody knows you can squelch Christians without fear ofphysical retaliation. Christian students won't seize buildings, wire bombs or initiate physical violence.But how we all quaked in our shoes while those other persuaders held sway! Truth is, even, our collegeadministration dared not oppose them. But Christians? Everybody knows they're easy targets. Nobody's afraid of them! No, I'm not a Jesus freak or fanatic. I'm just a neutral student trying to understand thewhole scene, not just the easy part of it. Alan C. Greene 614 High Street Baby bibs for borrowersEditor, Western Front: Once again I must speak out against another golden shaft wielding policy whichis being perpetrated against us humble undergraduates. Keeping in mind several budget limitations, Isuggest that Wilson Library purchase baby bibs and feeding spoons. Such purchases would be more inkeeping with then-present library check-out policy' for faculty and graduate students. The present policyallows quarter privileges for graduate students and yearly for faculty. Undergraduates have only a twoweek check-out. I know personally of incidents where graduate students and faculty have received"casual" reminders and mild remonstrances for materials checked out eons ago, while someundergraduate students have been observed, figuratively speaking, to prostrate themselves beforecertain library zealots for going one day beyond the grade period. I personally have had to contactprofessors to obtain overdue material for my research which they had forgotten about in the trunk of theircar. That the library desires to. retrieve overdue material for use by others is admirable; that it allowsspecial privileges to some as an official policy is a personal affront to my sense of fair play. Thejustification for this policy is unclear. It is alleged that the faculty and graduate students seem torepresent a special class and ought to have special privileges. It is also alleged that their need touselibrary materials is seen as more "legitimate" than an undergraduate's need. Such justifications areat best highly suspect and in some cases a laughing matter. I challenge Wilson Library to offer anyjustifications for such policies. I might also add that some of the library staff has also expresseddisapproval of such a policy.

(Kappa graffiti) The contention is enthusiastically unanimous. "Ireally like it," came from everyone interviewed about Kappa's experimental co-ed third floor. In the hall,men and women were placed in rooms at random. Each sex has two bathrooms and a resident aide.Planners intended the Kappa experiment to be modeled after similar arrangements at the University ofWashington. The experiment was to last only through Fall quarter, but it is continuing because "it turnedout really well," said Jim Mulenos, resident aide. "They don't sleep together, or anything that theadministration was afraid they would do. The reason it's a success is because they relate on a humanlevel, not on a sexual level." Reasons given for the popularity ranged from the "naturalness" of the livingconditions to being in a situation where it's easier to make friends. Roden that she experimental.

WK by ALICECOLLINGWOOD A single-engine plane sped down the runway of Bellingham Airport, climbed into the sky and took four people on an unusual field trip. They took to the air to examine the natural and man-madefeatures they so often study on maps, to bring a touch of reality to their paper world. They were students in Robert Teshera's geography 460 class, the teaching of geography. The students were learning how tomake a field trip meaningful by planning one, taking part in it and evaluating its effectiveness. Their flightplan took them from Bellingham Airport to Ladner, B.C., then east to Mission City, B.C., south to LakeWhatcom and back to the airport. Using map scales, distances and the plane's speed, the students haddetermined the time needed for each leg of the trip down to one-half minute, and the plane was only twominutes late touching down at the airport. Teshera believes such a field trip is a "vehicle" for usingdifferent types of mapsâ€”flight charts, topographical sheets and othersâ€”and translating them intoreality. He said he first realized the drawbacks to earthbound geography field trips as a graduate student on a flight from Washington to Montana. As the plan passed over the Columbia River Basin, he saw theterrain in a different light, and patterns A VIEW FROM ABOVE-Jim Smith and Robert Teshera look downat terrain surrounding Bellingham.

"I saw flying as a means oftranslating between map and real earth," he said. Jim Smith, a graduate geography student who planned the leg of the trip between Ladner and Mission City, B.C., said the main objectives of the flight were toview a big city, a couple of major river systems and farmland development. Smith, who has taughtgeography at the junior and senior high school levels for six years, said there are still a number ofgeography teachers who take the "capital city, highest mountain, main product of a country" approach toteaching geography. "They don't try to convey why the people of a region live the way they do," he said.Smith thinks this approach stems from competition among teachers to have their students get highmarks in the National Achievement Test, which asks such questions. "I want to teach them somethingthey can put to use in later lives." And part of effectively teaching geography, Teshera said, is makingfield trips mean something Â£j| to the students. p[ "The motivation for this class project is 0| recognitionof the fact that most field trips in A ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, February 23, 1973 Western Front 7 imously popular unaware that it is from the University of likeKappa's are [fused to it this way," ends that are guys and lot of things together, like skating parties andjam sessions."

"You'd be surprised how many people sleep without their doors locked at night," sheadded. Louder called the presence of girls "quite enjoyable." Sue Bissonette, who lived in Mathes, alsolikes the presence of the opposite sex. She said that there were guys in Mathes Hall anyway. With bothsexes present, "the men check on the women's behavior and vice-versa," said Preston. About thewomen, she said, "They've got male company, so they don't have to sneak." She said that competitionamong girls for men's attention is less than on an all-girl floor. "People thought there would be pairing up," said Colleen Dinsmore, third floor's resident aide. "But it's more like a brother-sister situation." Everyinterviewee advocated more floors like Kappa's third. Shannon Point Marine Center construction begins,open to all Construction began on a $354,522 laboratory-classroom at Shannon Point Marine Centernear Anacortes, with a ground breaking ceremony last Tuesday. College President, Charles J, Flora, and the director of Shannon Point, William C. Summers of Huxley College, were among the attendingofficials. The facility will be administered by Western. Its services will be available for use by academicdepartments and cluster colleges at Western as well as by students from a consortium of statesupported colleges. - The consortium members are: Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges,Skagit Valley College and E d m o n d s and Everett Community Colleges. Students from any stateinstitution of higher education will be able to study at the facility. The laboratory-classroom building is athree-story masonry structure, with exterior walls of giant brick, reinforced concrete floors and a,red;cedar-shake roof. Shops, a receiving area, a lecture hall and wash-up facilities are to be located inthe daylight basement, with instructional laboratories and aquarium space on the first floor.

A long agenda faces the All-CollegeSenate Monday night, with items ranging from administrative reorganization to internal publications.College President Charles J. Flora gave the senate his proposal for administrative reorganization inJanuary, and a senate ad hoc committee has been working on suggested revisions. The plan calls forchanges in lines of responsibility for administrators. A College Services Council p r o p o s a l for internal communications will be presented to the senate for consideration. It calls for making FAST, the faculty and staff newsletter, the disseminator of information for faculty. This would include policy statements,agendas and minutes of meetings and actions of college agencies, as well as-the regular offerings of the newsletter. The proposal also encourages The Western Front to publish the contents of the studentactivities bulletin, which would be discontinued. The daily bulletin would be posted on all conspicuousbulletin boards and sent to the Associated Students, the Viking Union staff and academic departments. The Executive Committee will also make a recommendation for formation of a committee to review the senate. The Board of Trustees requested the review when it approved the senate in principle almost two years ago. The committee will e v a l u a t e the s e n a t e 's effectiveness and make any .recommendations for changes it thinks are necessary. A six-man committee is suggested by theExecutive Committee, composed of the heads of each of the four senate constituencies (students,faculty, administrators and staff) and two senate faculty members. The senate Committee on Councilsand Committees will present some information on the affirmative action program for hiring of women andminorities.

TO BE COMPLETED THIS FALL-An artist's sketch of what the Shannon PointMarine Center will look like when completed. Construction began this week. office-laboratories, dry labs,a darkroom and administrative offices are planned. An electrical heating system will eliminate emissions into the air at the laboratory facility. Fluorescent lighting will be installed. All structural elements willremain exposed for low maintenance and construction cost. Floors will be bare concrete with interior,walls having exposed masonry except for a portion on the second floor. There are no suspendedceilings or other cover-up materials. Shannon Point is located on 71 acres immediately west of theWashington State Ferry Terminal at Anacortes. The site contains 2,900 feet of shoreline a freshwaterpond and a forest area. The Marine Center was developed primarily for undergraduate instruction andresearch in the marine sciences. The laboratory will complement graduate-level research facilitiesoperated by the University of Washington at Friday Harbor. Attempts have been made to make the newbuilding as unobtrusive as possible. It probably will not be possible to view it from a distance, exceptfrom the air. Completion of the building is scheduled for fall of 1973. Included in the project in addition to the laboratory and classroom building are an access road, a parking area and a sea-water pumpingsystem. A small residence unit, a visitors' center and a conference center are tentatively planned forlater phases of development.

But today Allan Kaprow is happening at Western, organizing one of the participatory art forms for which he has become famous. Kaprow is a painter, sculptor, critic, designer of environment and primeinventor of the spontaneous "happening," an art form that has spread world wide and one in which he isinviting Western students to take part. The Happening blurs art and life, using t w e n t i e t h centuryjunk, creativity and environment to blend everyday experience into slightly wild activities that reflect onpeople and what they do. Kaprow's Western happening will be unique, enlisting the participation of asmany Western students as want to â€¢ volunteer into an afternoon-long event that will begin at noontoday. A discussion of the.happening will follow at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Kaprow'sHappening is sponsored by the Continuing Symposium on the Contemporary Arts, the NationalEndowment For the Arts and the Whatcom Museum Society. Students interested in participating inKaprow's art should gather in the Viking Union Lounge at noon today. Gene Garber of the English faculty says that Kaprow will use 100 to 150 people or more. Kaprow stresses that his fluid art form is to beexperienced, not just observed. He has been studying Western and Bellingham since yesterday,deciding what form the happening will take. Teams of participants will probably be sent all overBellingham to perform their role in the production. Garber advises a sack lunch be taken by .participants. Kaprow has organized more than 100 happenings in the past, some of which have included a mockmurder and funeral, a marriage between a girl and a compact car, playing a Beatles record in arefrigerator and making a jelly sandwich out of an automobile hood. Â» A Happening called the"Courtyard" involved the erection on a 30 foot high frame mountain covered with a tarp in a hotelcourtyard. Actors on three hotel floors shouted at each other across the mountain as it erupted withblack paper balls, dishes, and pots and pans. A girl in a night gown listening to a transistor radioclimbed to the top of the mountain with considerable sensuality, followed by mock press photographerswho took pictures of the girl as she struck cheesecake poses. Then a second mountain descended fromwhere it had been suspended upside down above the courtyard. The Happening's climax came when thetwo mountain peaks joined, swallowing the girl. Kaprow has been using the debris, smells, lights, andsounds of civilization for 20 years to develop first an art that surrounded the viewer, called theEnvironment, and then his more informal and changing Happenings, set in fields, breweries, and woods.Kaprow stresses that the Happening mixes art and life, occurs only once, and makes time variable anddiscontinuous. His erasure of distinctions is reflected in that his work has been discussed in journals ofpoetry, painting, dance, architecture, music, drama, education, and in Time Magazine under "ModernLiving." Kaprow, 45, who has studied painting with Hans Hoffman and music with John Cage, is anAssociate Dean at the California Institute of the Arts. His work has been exhibited in major museums inAmerica and Europe, and he has won the Copley Foundation Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. 'The Getaway' is tasteless by DAVE PETERSON Relying on the amount of bullets fired instead of acting,"The Getaway" is a tasteless robbery thriller with McQueen and MacGraw terribly miscast. The storytakes place in Texas where recent prison p a r o l e e "Doc" McCoy (McQueen) and his wife Carol (AliMacGraw) are told to rob a bank of a huge sum or else see Doc back behind bars. T a k i n g twopeculiar henchmen to do the basics, the McCoys succeed, but one of their cohorts shoots a cop. Backat the rendezvous the remaining henchman, Rudy (Al Lettieri), attempts to take the money and run but,alas, Doc draws first and gives him five or six bullets into his bullet-proof vest. The McCoys then drive to the instigator's home, she shoots him and the dynamic duo take the money and run. From here on outSam Peckinpah's direction delights in showing the contorted features of bullet-riddled men as a line ofred marks the very methodical escape of the McCoys. Steve McQueen as Doc, the gun-slinging, wife-slapping meanie, does his best acting with his shotgun instead of his mouth or vocal chords. I guessLecture series starts Sunday A concert and lecture series titled "Sundays at Three" will be offered bythe Center for Continuing Studies beginning Sunday. The series will feature a variety of programs inmusic and the arts at 3 p.m. each Sunday, in the presentation room of Wilson Library. Sunday's offering will be "Yevtushenko: A Voice of Russia and the World." The Readers' Theatre from the University ofWashington will present selected poems, autobiographical writings, thoughts and music whichexemplify the Russian poet, Yevengney Yevtushenko. Other programs in the series will include a"lightscape" presentation combining music and visual imagery by Paul Dusenbury; a concert featuringmusic of Northern India with Zakir Hussein (son of Alia Rakha who accompanies Ravi Shankar) on theTabla Dru; and a presentation of paintings of various historical periods by Thomas Schlotterback,associate professor of art at Western, who will acquaint the audience with the character of the peoplewho lived during those times. The audience will have an opportunity to talk with the performers whilerefreshments are servedâ€”exotic teas and coffees from the Fairhaven Spice Shoppe. Admission to oneshow is $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for children. Series tickets cost $6 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12 and will only be sold prior to the first performance. all good actors lay an egg once in awhile.His dense, dull wife Carol is played terribly by Ali MacGraw to no real fault of her own abilities exceptthat she took the part. The first two words she says are, "I'm sorry," and maybe she was. Possiblynoting that the relationship between Doc and Carol was not erotic, an obscene subplot hatches on filmbetween Rudy and Fran. As far as the action of the movie is concerned this weird diversion is a flatabortion. If Peckinpah liked to direct actors as much as showing the viewer in slow motion that hisbullets, indeed, hit their target, he might find a good movie with his name on it. But this is not it.

At left is Ryan's mother Ard with clinic nurse Mrs. G. Salisbury giving the shot. Health department offers many community services by PATT JOHNSONMany students think the Whatcom County Health Department is synonymous with VD checkups andPlanned Parenthood. Although these are the best-known services to the college community, thedepartment offers many other diversified services. The biggest single program sponsored by the HealthDepartment at 509 Girard is immunizations. It is the community center for vaccines and overseas shots.There is a sliding fee schedule for those who can pay. This program is geared for the general populationand is open every afternoon. The fastest-growing program is the Well Child program. This programprovides examinations for babies to see that they are growing properly. Patients get routineimmunizations. Also included in the program are classes to teach mothers how to raise their children.This is a free program designed for low-income people and is held mornings by appointment. There isalso a free tuberculosis outpatient treatment clinic which includes about 1,000 patients. X-rays and drugs are administered to patients who need them. Another free service is the Venereal Disease clinic heldevery afternoon by appointment. College students comprise one-half of the Health Department's load.Infectious cases are treated and interviewed for contacts who are advised to contact the clinic or go totheir private physician for treatment. The Conservation of Hearing program is a free service designedmainly for preschool-age children. Children suspected of having hearing problems can have their hearingchecked at the Health Department. Schools are required by State law to check pupils' hearing everyother year. Children who have a hearing a loss are treated at the Health Department or sent to a privatedoctor. A free Mental Retardation Diagnostic Service also geared for young children offers completetests for children suspected of being retarded. Through a nursing service, clinic nurses work as I schoolnurses for schools that don't hire their own. These include Blaine, Ferndale, Meridian, Mt. Baker andNooksack school districts. A Family Health program provides counseling to financially or otherwisedeprived families on what sort of medical care is needed for the family and where to find it. TheCommunity Health program maintains a continuing communicable disease surveillance for the county.For this purpose, a complete stock of materials and mailing containers for sending specimens to theState laboratory is kept at the Health Department. The Mental Health and Illness program advises people of where to find help. A psychologist and nurse on the staff investigate complaints by family or neighbors and either advise the ill person about treatment or seek a commitment through the courts. There is alsoa clinic which provides further treatment to patients returning from institutions. The birth and deathcertificates of people who are born or die in Whatcom County are obtained and on file at the HealthDepartment. The food handler's test for restaurant workers is given at the Center. Environmental Healthspecialists also licence and make periodic inspections of food service "establishments to upgradesanitary standards. Health Department officials inspect and sample milk at both dairies andpasteurization plants to ensure proper production of milk and milk products. They also inform consumersof potential health hazards associated with raw milk consumption. Officials also sample public andprivate water supplies to ensure that water sources are free from contamination and to requireconstruction of water facilities which provide safe, adequate water. Sewage tanks are also inspected toeliminate faulty systems and to reduce sewage pollution of underground and surface waters. After a fullday of these programs, three nights a week the facilities are opened to Planned Parenthood. This is oneof the better-known programs at the clinic. Planned Parenthood has its own board, but the HealthDepartment handles grants for it and donates the building and some help. As Dr. Phillip Jones, directorof the clinic stated, the Whatcom County Health Department is "basically a double-shift clinic." New poli sci major-minor approved A new major-minor concentration in political science to be offered in Fallquarter, 1973, has been approved by the Academic Council. The new concentration will be an alternative to the present requirements for political science majors. The total course requirement, which variesbetween 104 to 119 credits, satisfied both a major and minor. Several courses are required that wouldsatisfy general e d u c a t i o n requirements, including a number of classes outside the political science department. Other departments to have courses in the concentration are English, speech, sociology,psychology, economics, business administration, mathematics and H u x l e y C o l l e g e o fEnvironmental Studies. Students wishing to become interns will have a choice of two programs. Thelegislative internship will involve working with the state legislature in Olympia. The administrativeinternship will involve working in a government office, probably in Bellingham. Class offered on (year)1250 The year 1250 is the subject of a course being offered Spring quarter by the medieval studiescolloquium.

Viks stop EOC, win 2nd in Evco Western's basketball team earned a second place finish in theEvergreen Conference by beating Eastern Oregon College, 90-62, in the Big Blue's last regular seasongame, Saturday. The Vikings were led by the team's three seniors, Mike Buza, Mike Franza and TomMount, appearing in their last regular game for Western. Among them the "seniors combined for 62points in their farewell performance. Mount was high scorer for the game with 25 points. Franza hit 21and Buza had 16. "I was real proud of the way the seniors played," Viking coach Chuck Randall said ofthe game. "Mount had one of the best scoring nights of his career." Each of the retiring Viks received a standing ovation from the Carver Gym crowd when they left the game in the second half. Buza left withWestern on top by nearly 30 points. The San Jose, Calif., teammates exited from their last regular^ames via the foul route. Mount picked up his fifth with minutes left and his Mitty High School classmate, Franza, charged for his final foul 30 seconds later. The Big Blue of next year then took over andenjoyed themselves as the Viks coasted to their 28 point victory margin. Mount scored the first eightpoints for the Vikings and hit 10 of 15 from the field for the game. Western had little trouble with theMountaineers, breaking a 12-12 deadlock at 11:51 in the first half and jumping to a 24-12 lead fourminutes later. In the second half the three seniors quickly ran the 40-30 point halftime lead to a 20 point margin. In spite of the scoring edge, Randall was not over joyed by his team's performance. "Theyplayed good enough to win, Saturday," he said. "But they were kind of down after beating EasternWashington the night before. Top pointman for the Mounties was Jack Easter with 18 points.

Both WSU and Central will be leading contenders for the regionaltournament crown Little Blue beats Falcons Jumping out to a huge first half lead, Western's freshmanbasketball team held off several attempted rallies to defeat Vancouver, B.C. City College last week, 71-51. The win gave the Little Blue an 8-9 season record with one game remaining on their schedule.Western's hot-shooting and rebounding in the first half gave the Vikings a 45-17 lead at the intermission.The Viks' defense held the Falcon offense to only one shot most of the time, usually from long range. Inthe second half, Vancouver put on a rally at the start of the half, outscoring Western 11-0 in the first four minutes. The Falcons closed the gap to 13 at one point, outscoring the Vikings 21-7 before Westernfinally caught fire to close the game out with a rally of its own.

Thesix member team will face Southern Oregon and Central. These are the only schools in the conferenceto field swim teams. The Viks will be sending four swimmers, Tom Ward, Don Williams, Bruce Johnsonand Paul Simmerly, and two divers, Robin Allen and Doug Brown. Ward, this year's captain, willprobably be swimming the 100 and 200 yd. butterfly and with the 50 yd. freestyle. Williams, along withWard, will be swimming the 100 and '200 butterfly and the 500 yd. freestyle. Johnson will swim in the100 yd. and 200 yd. backstroke and the 500 yd. freestyle. Simmerly will round off the team with the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke and the 200 yd. individual medley. All four swimmers will enter the 400 yd.medley relay and the 800 yd. freestyle relay. Both divers will compete in the one and three metercompetition. Allen is a former Evco diving champion. which will be. fought over next week at Western.Western took second to WSU in last year's tournament and barely defeated the Cougars 53-47 in theironly meeting this season. WSU's main offensive threat is 6-5 center Jennifer Gray. Gray was out withan injury in the Viking's previous game against the Cougars and may make a big difference in tomorrow's game. A win over WSU will give the Vikings the i psychological advantage when they meet the Cougars in the regional tournament. Both teams have a good chance of making the finals since they are the twotop seeds. Central will be out to revenge its close 47-43 loss to the Viks earlier this year. The Wildcats'scrappy playing brought them back from a 21-13 halftime score to take the lead twice in the fourthquarter. "Central is always tough," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "It should be a real dog fight." Westerndestroyed Central's ho'pes for the regional championship last year by knocking the Wildcats out of thetournament in a semi-final game. Western's chances for a double victory tomorrow lie in its ability tomaintain a fast break pace. "If our running game is on neither team will be able to stop us," Goodrichsaid.

The A.S. meets in Red Square once per quarter as a way to facilitate conversation and distribute information about current A.S. issues, said David Toyer, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs. "We're out here to show students that we are accessible," A.S. President Victor Cox said. "We're here to show there really isn't anything to hide. If students have questions following the resignations, we're Matt Anderson /The Western Front David Toyer and Michelle Yousey respond to Jennifer Brown's questions concerning Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Board reinstates Carrel to tech fee committee By Siobhan Millhouse THE WESTERN FRONT The A.S. board voted unanimously to reinstate William Carrel to the Student Technology Fee Committee and admitted that the STFC guidelines were unclear. "(Carrel's) expertise is not something that can be replaced easily," said Rafael Castaneda, A.S. vice president for Academic Affairs and STFC chair. "I've been trying to figure out what is best for the committee, what's fair and what's right." It took less than 10 minutes at Wednesday's board meeting for the board to reinstate Carrel to his previous position. The board said the verbal contract the STFC agreed do did not violate the First Amendment. A lot of work is in the STFC's future. The committee faces developing a clear set of guidelines and regulations for future STFC members. "I think that the rules of the committee in this case were very broadly applied and capricious," Carrel said. "The whole problem came out of the bylaws and a general misunderstanding," Castaneda said. Carrel said after meeting with Castaneda, prior to Wednesday, he was not certain what the outcome of the board meeting would be. "What can I say?" Carrel asked. "I'm happy, that's what I wanted all along. I just didn't See REINSTATE, page 6 By Terrill Simecki THEWESTERNFRONT ; The Associated Students board of directors appointed Cedric Bolton the new A.S. vice president for Diversity at Wednesday's board meeting. Bolton replaces former Vice President for Diversity Morgan Hepfer, who resigned from the position in February, citing a lack of support and cooperation on the board's behalf. "I feel like I have a big job ahead of me," Bolton said. "I'm happy, and I am ready to work." . The board unanimously voted in Bolton's favor. "He stood out both as someone that everyone could get along with, and his credentials were very good," said Rafael Castaneda, vice president for Academic Affairs. "He has a lot of experience dealing with people, communicating with people and he conducted himself in a professional way, and that made a big impression on a lot of the board members." The board chose Bolton, a senior majoring in general studies, over Kim Morrison, a senior, majoring in American cultural studies and Michael Tenney, a Fairhaven senior, military veteran and member of the Whatcom County Human Rights Task Force, after screening the candidates in a three-part selection process. Before the meeting, a panel consisting of A.S. President Victor Cox, Vice President of B u s i n e s s O p e r a t i o n s Michelle Yousey and Personnel Director April Uskoski interviewed the candidates and reviewed their resumes. "All three candidates were amazing," Cox said.

"I don't want to sleep at Western or have my home as part of an auxiliary campus," homeowner and Western graduate student Tom Dunson said. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Happy Valley Elementary School students await their bus ride. "It's almost as if the city of Bellingham has resigned Happy Valley to Western expansion." This concern stems from Western's interest in expanding the campus into Happy Valley, mainly through parking lots, institutional offices and a proposed storm- water treatment facility. Happy Valley encompasses 627 acres bordered by Interstate 5 to the east, Old Fairhaven Parkway to the south, an irregular line between 14th and 20th Streets to the west and Bill McDonald Parkway to the north.

Rescuers found them Wednesday morning because they carried a whistle that attracted the attention of a passing tug boat. The two men from Bellingham were all right when rescuers found them on Decatur Island, located on the east side of the San Juan Islands. The Coast Guard had been searching Bellingham Bay since midnight Tuesday when one man's mother reported them missing. Mayor commends police for calming Mardi Gras crowds Seattle Mayor Paul Schell said he is proud of police who controlled the crowd early Wednesday in Pioneer Square. "Fat Tuesday is no excuse for . drunken rowdiness," Schell said. Police said the use of pepper spray was justified to protect life and property. Spokesman Clem Benton said partiers threw bottles at officers when they went to help a woman who fell off a newspaper stand. Hundreds of people filled Pioneer Square streets. They were drinking at taverns and bars as part of the Mardi Gras celebration. When the crowd refused to disperse, officers fired spray and,arrested 11 people. Five officers suffered minor injuries. NATIONAL NEWS Bradley, McCain come up short on Super Tuesday Bill Bradley walked picket lines, spoke of his commitment to race relations and assailed Al Gore for past ambivalence on abortion. Still, the Democratic Party's core constituencies â€” organized labor, minorities and abortion-rights groups â€” remained loyal to the Clinton- Gore White House. After being shut out in 16 primaries and caucuses on Tuesday â€” and in Iowa and New Hampshire before that â€” Bradley described his campaign as a success, if not by the number of votes then by the strength of ideas. "We've brought core Democratic issues to the fore," Bradley told his disappointed supporters. John McCain couldn't reach enough Republicans, and Bill Bradley saw his core supporters flock to Al Gore. That was Super Tuesday in a nutshell. Texas Gov. George W. Bush rode support from Republican faithful, conservatives and the religious right to steamroll past McCain. The Arizona senator had support from much smaller groups: moderates, independents and Democrats who crossed over into the Republican primaries, according to the exit polls conducted Tuesday by Voter News Service for The Associated Press and television networks. Bush succeeded in convincing large numbers of Republican voters that McCain was not conservative enough. Nearly half the voters in New England and New York questioned McCain's conservative credentials; in other states, it was a t least one-third. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Palestinians, Israelis set to resume talks Palestinians and Israelis ended a crisis in the .peace process Wednesday by each conceding what had been a cardinal "no": Israelis allowed greater U.S. involvement, and Palestinians accepted territory not abutting Jerusalem. In a telling sign of the renewed U.S. : role, it was President Clinton's top envoy, Dennis Ross, who announced the resumption of peace talks, flanked by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Ross, who said the peace talks would resume in Washington after the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday beginning March 16, also said the sides are committed to "work in the spirit of partnership and mutual confidence." The accelerated pace â€” aiming for the outline of a permanent agreement by May and for a full-fledged deal by Sept. 13 - was nonetheless fraught with issues that could sideline an agreement. Arafat suspended the talks early last month over an interim Israeli troop withdrawal from 6.1 percent of the West Bank. China executes senior official China executed a corrupt deputy provincial governor on Wednesday, underscoring the government's determination to end pervasive graft that has eroded support for Communist Party rule. Officials timed the execution to coincide with the country's most public political event and was followed by televised images of the official's ill-gotten gains: caches of cognac, piles of U.S. and Chinese cash, gold watches, diamond rings and a golden Buddha.

Unfortunately, one piece of the project is missing, .and Rieck thinks someone stole it. Classmate Leana Korthuis noticed the piece, a magnifying lens worth up to $400, was missing March 3. The alleged theft occurred hours before Western's Senior Industrial Design class presented senior projects at The Greenhouse in downtown Bellingham. Korthuis said she believes the piece was stolen between 2 and 4 p.m., as she and other students were setting up the exhibit. The store was open to the public. Rieck was out of town at the time of the theft. "I was just sick to my stomach," Rieck said. "It'a just sad that people don't realize all the hours and hours, energy and time (I) put into it." Rieck and Korthuis describe the piece as an abstract, aluminum magnifying glass with an acrylic lens, about four inches long. aIt was really cool and unique, - totally different than anything," Korthuis said. The object rested underneath a glass plate but was open to the hands of the public. "It's the kind of store (where)you pick up stuff and look at (it)," Rieck said. "I think people got kind of confused." Rieck's piece was among a number of projects on display at The Greenhouse, located at 1235 Cornwall Ave. "They were pleased to have a local display," said Joan Olson, manager of The Greenhouse. "There was a great turnout, (but) this kind of marred the event," Olson said. "This (theft) is not typical of our customers," Olson said. "We would have never expected it." Rieck contacted Bellingham police officer Russ Miller, who declined to comment on the case. Although the project already received a grade, Rieck said she will reconstruct the stolen lens. "The biggest problem is that it's a portfolio piece," she said. "I don't have it to show (to) future employers." "All that we're asking is that it's returned," Korthuis said. Conference will address wilderness conservation By Tiffany Campbell THE WESTERN FRONT John Miles, director for the Center of Geography and Environmental Social Sciences at Western, and John McLaughlin^ associate Huxley professor, will speak on wilderness issues at the national Northwest Wilderness Conference 2000 in Seattle March 31 to April 2. The conference will feature speakers from diverse areas of the wilderness issue, including the Sierra Club and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as many other wilderness advocacy groups. "We have in the Northwest one of the largest concentrations of wilderness in the lower 48," Miles said. "The whole concept of wilderness is changing as well. (This conference) will help explore new conceptions of wilderness that are out there. It's important to get together and talk about it. It has implications for national forests and public lands in general." "We're trying to bring new people into the debate on wilderness," Bob Friemark of The Wilderness Society said. "We want to educate people about what's going on in the wilderness movement." The speakers will form panels that deal with issues like roadless area protection and different tactics for wilderness protection. "The wilderness movement is a very diverse movement, with individuals really adopting different strategies of how they want to be engaged and how they want the issues moved forward," Friemark said, adding that these strategies could be anything from sitting in trees to lobbying Congress. "If we had done this process years ago and based our policies on it, we wouldn't be at the salmon crisis we're at now," McLaughlin said. "Hopefully we can learn from our mistakes." The conference is open to all, and package costs range from $85 to $143, depending on meals.

The coming changes will include the construction of a new Campus Services Center, a widening of Bill McDonald up the hill from South College Way, a signalized, curving intersection at 21st Street and a 180- stall parking lot on 21st Street near campus. Construction of the roadway renovations, intersection and parking lot will begin in June and resume as fall quarter begins, said Ed Simpson, Western's Facilities project manager. "We hope to get the bulk of the messy stuff done (this summer)," Simpson said. The Campus Service Center Project is slated to begin in April 2001 and continue through spring 2002. The center will combine the relocation of the Student Health Center, campus police and the Parking and Transportation offices. The facility will sit directly across the completed intersection at Bill McDonald Parkway and 21st Street and will include basement parking for police vehicles and employees, a 30- space parking lot to the right of the complex along 21st Street and a service entrance/pedestrian walkway that will snake around the east side. Mike Smith of Zervas Group Architecture, the prime contracting outfit of the project, said the new structure will greatly increase police service and student health operations. "This will be a new command center on campus," he said. Smith added that it is the university's goal to transform Bill McDonald into a "southern gateway to the campus" by widening its car lanes and adding a five-foot bike path. A strip of native vegetation will replace the existing brush and scattered trees that line this stretch of the parkway, separating the street from a pedestrian walkway that will run alongside the Softball field. The aim, said Michael Durbin, associate project engineer for David Evans and Associates Inc., is to "try and get drivers to slow down and to create more of a sense of a pedestrian and bicycle environment." In addition, an improvement in street lighting will create a safer route for all and give more of an official entrance look to the university, Durbin said. Simpson said Western's targeted budget for the entire project is $7.4 million. The Campus Services Center's projected cost is $5.1 million and the roadway renovations, including the parking lot, will run $2.3 million. Simpson added that the Campus Services Center has been in the planning stage since 1996, and completion of the roadway planning pre-design occurred in July 1998. Happy Valley resident Dunham Gooding mentioned additional reasons for approving the renovations. "By changing the intersection to a curve with stoplights, it will de-emphasize 21st (away from Western) as a through way," he said. "One of the problems our neighborhood suffers is the fact that people transit through the neighborhood to get to the university." Citizens raised concerns at the meeting regarding the project's clearing of trees and wetlands. Durbin addressed these concerns, maintaining that a trail coming down the hill across from the 21st Street intersection will remain intact, and just one small wetland area between the street and the trail exists in the area to be renovated. Simpson stressed that native foliage will be replanted to replace whatever is destroyed in the project and the entire area around Campus Services Center will be fully landscaped. advice and equipment for the outdoors T * H *E G * R Â» E *AÂ»T ISfENTlAlI Y 2 0 1 E.

Margin is a loan, from a stockbroker, to buy stock. Federal law allows investors to borrow up to 50 percent of- the money they will need to huy a stock. If the stock costs $10,000, the investor must have $5,000. The risks of investing on margin are that an investor faces the possibility of having to sell a stock and can end up owing his or her stockbroker money. Margin is better for an investor that is going to receive the money to pay the loan off because he or she doesn't have to rely on the stock as the only collateral for the loan, said Nicholas Kaiser, director and president of Saturna Capital. "You are leveraging your account so that you can own more investment (stock)," Wallace said. Margin trading is like doubling the speed of one's car. While one can get to where he or she is going faster, if he or she crashes, the bodily harm will be twice as much. Investors that bought stock in Ogden Corporation learned how devastating a high-speed crash can be. On Aug. 17, 1999 a margin investor could have bought 100 shares of Ogden Corporation for $25 per share ($2,500). The margin loan would have been $1,250. A month later Ogden gapped down from $19.50 per share to near $14 per share. The margin investor would be required to make a margin call at $16.50. Since Ogden stock was collateral for the loan, and the price was '. dropping rapidly, the investor's stockbroker may have decided to sell Ogden to try to recover the loan. If the stockbroker had sold Ogden at $12 per share the investor would have received $1,200; the money, however, Â§jjr is Silitilipf INN' jj is â€¢mmmMtiwim mfmmsMm 30 25 20 Stock Price Ol O Ol o -* , Ogden's Daily Close â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ' â€¢ .

Â« gt;'â€¢ lt;? gt;'â€¢ would not have been enough to pay off the $1,250 margin loan. The investor would owe the stockbroker $50. In one month a margin investor would have lost $1,250 and would owe his or her stockbroker $50, for a total loss of $1,300. The investor who didn't buy on margin would have lost $675, because they would have only been able to buy 50 shares with the original $1,250. The percentage loss (54 percent) is the same for each investor, but since the margin investor had twice as much stock they took a larger loss. The margin investor then sells their stock and ended up owing money to their stockbroker. These are the two biggest risks when trading on margin. Advice on sexual, emotional health available at SHAIC resource room By Kasey Halmagyi THE WESTERN FRONT "What herb works best to help boost energy?" "Does my roommate have an eating disorder?" "I can never fall asleep at night; what will help?" Answers to health and wellness questions like these are found at the Student Health and Information Center's resource room. The resource room, located near the back of SHAIC, contains more than 500 books, pamphlets, videos and audio tapes on numerous health related topics. All of this information is available for students to check out, free of charge, for a week. "It's handy for students to have access to books for topics they are writing papers on or for personal use," Catharine Vader, SHAIC coordinator, said. "I've been to Wilson Library, and it doesn't carry a lot of the books we do." The materials in the resource room are organized by topic and have colored stickers indicating what subject they cover. Topics at the center include: emotional and mental health* sexual health, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, physical health, nutrition, fitness and eating disorders. More specific subcategories of these topics are offered at the center, such as contraception, self-help, body image and depression. "The way it's set up helps people easily find what they're looking for," said Heather Piche, lifestyle advisor at the SHAIC. The resource room also has a television and VCR for viewing videos, a computer for looking at a variety of health and wellness Web sites and a Seasonal Affective Disorder light.

Bolton said he will try to represent the Ethnic Student Center, the Women's Center, the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance and other A.S. Diversity groups. "There are a lot of things that I have to get caught up with as far as the board goes, as well as the student body, so I have to see what the issues are and address them," Bolton said. "I think that maybe a meeting of all groups could possibly tie in what was not represented." Western neighbors want less development, building HAPPY VALLEY, from page 1 Western could not use the abandoned Albertson's grocery store along Old Fairhaven Parkway for a warehouse or offices. "Western will wait until the Happy Valley plan is approved before making any institutional plans," Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce said. Western has already, however, unveiled plans to widen and develop 21st Street where it meets Bill McDonald Parkway. According to Fred Wagner, chair of the Planning and Development Commission, a final Happy Valley Neighborhood Plan will not be adopted by Bellingham City Council until sometime next fall or later after the commission has provided its recommendations.

President Victor Cox said Discussion did not take place in the meeting concerning the removal of Carrel's Web site opinions. Carrel said he still has number of duplexes, such as Adrik's Place, and apartments such as the New York Apartments, also concerned residents. "People want the amount of apartments to slow â€” not because they're anti-apartments but because the area is changing in negative ways," said Donald Gooding, self-appointed liaison between the neighborhood and the city. Charlsee Sprig recently moved to Happy Valley and enjoys the diversity created by mixing low-income housing with more expensive homes and building new homes next to century- old homes which are next to apartments and small commercial pieces. "I am concerned ... by the acquisition of land to build sleazy student housing," Sprig said. Roy Flueger has lived in Happy Valley most of his 82 years. "We do get a little upset at the students, to put it mildly," Flueger said. "I take my life into my own hands every time I back out of my driveway and onto 21st Street." The rezoning of the Superstore to a larger commercial lot as well as adding commercial space across Harris Avenue drew concern from residents. "I support that little market but it's still just a beer-and-ciga-rettes store," Fleuger said. For the last year-and-a-half, residents have been meeting with city planners at Sehome High School to give their input. "We always hear from our politicians that it's our neighborhood," Survey said.

Staples was originally scheduled to perform her "A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson" concert Feb. 19, but severe snowstorms grounded her flight from Chicago, canceling the show. Only a few tickets remained unsold at show time. "After a nearly sold-out house, it was a great disappointment to find out that Mavis would not perform," Performing Arts Center Series Coordinator Tamara McDonald said. "Yet a gracious and sympathetic crowd filled the PAC anticipating that Mavis would return for a rescheduled date." T h e PAC Box Office staff will contact ticket holders by telephone to ask whether they wish to use their Feb. 19 tickets for the r e s c h e d u l e d March 31 concert or desire a refund. Ticket holders who have not yet been contacted are asked to call the PAC Box Office at (360) 650-6146 to state a preference for the ticket. R e m a i n i n g Photo courtesty of PAC tickets for the Mavis Staples will perform March 31. general public are $18 for adults, $16 for family members of Western students and $12 for students while they last. Tickets for the "student rush" can be bought anytime for $6. Box Office hours are noon to 4 p.m. Mondays and noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. The Box Office will close during Western's spring break, March 17-28. Staples' concert, part of Western's Centennial Performing Arts Series' celebration of African American history month, is a tribute to the Queen of Gospel, Mahalia Jackson. "I believe that this concert will jump out for students as well as community members at large," McDonald said. Staples regards Jackson as her mentor, teacher and friend, and had the honor of inducting Jackson into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997. Staples, best known as the lead vocalist for The Staples Singers, had hits such as "I'll Take You There," "Respect Yourself and "Let's Do It Again." The Staples Singers were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Throughout her career, Staples has worked with musicians like Prince, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Dylan and Tom Jones. Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT This band had a hit record once? In England, you say? Interesting. Award-winning Brit band Eels' new record, "Daisies of the Galaxy," is a highly derivative, uninspired effort. Lead singer E leads listeners on a journey to a galaxy that is apparently only populated by people who play organ music that could have been taken directly from the "Austin Powers" soundtrack. 'Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills.' "Daisies" is touted as the antidote to 1998's "Electro-shock Blues," an album about the deaths of E's sister and mother. Eels, essentially, are E, also known as Mark Oliver Everett. He does, however, get help on this album from R.E.M.'s Peter Buck and Grant Lee Phillips of Grant Lee Buffalo. Eels sort of sound like Beck on hippy folk pills, championing music best described as "alt-pop." E and the boys make an album that at best could only be viewed as a vacant little diversion. With Buck and Philips assisting, one cannot help but think a lot of talent was wasted here. "During the 'Daisies' sessions I realized that we were making two different kinds of records," E said. "One loud, dark and scary; the other acoustic and positive." He apparently chose to release the latter, but the former might have been a little more interesting. While most of this album is boring and insipid, some Eels songs will invariably make it to the radio and then be played ad nauseam in the mall where girls in too-small Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts will wrestle hippy chicks with Guatemalan handbags and butterfly tattoos at the local Sam Goody for this record. The best of the lot is "Flyswatter." Although the lyrics are quite incomprehensible â€” "Field mice, head lice/spiders in the kitchen/don't think twice about whatever keeps you itching," the song is extremely catchy. In fact, listeners may find themselves humming it days after listening to it. It is, unfortunately, one of the few highlights on an otherwise dull album. "It's a sad song because none of the things in.it really happened," E said. "Daisies" hits malls in March. Order your textbooks online. Try our secure online textbook ordering system.... now faster!

By Monica Bell THE WESTERN FRONT The quality and content of the 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit can not be decided merely on the size of the art. The mixed media and various artists provide an exhibit whose merit goes way beyond the minute size of the individual pieces. "You can have a small work that has a lot of meaning and a lot of substance without having these giant pieces that sort of lose themselves in their size," said Adam Jackman, information attendant at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. The 12x12x12 Small Works art exhibit showing in the Viking Union Satellite Gallery at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art utilizes a variety of artists' styles and materials including ceramics, photography, videography, wire work, fabrics and bead work. The works displayed in the exhibit are all from regional art students and had to fit within the size limit of 12 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches. "It seemed extraordinary to me that it was based on the size of what you submitted," said Genevieve Gonska, a graphic design major at Western. "We were looking for a diversity of media, things that fit within the guidelines ... and well-done craftsmanship," said Caroline Knebelsberger, co-coordinator of the VU Gallery and art major. Amber Strawn, the other Gallery co-coordinator said they wanted the pieces not only to be technically good but express an idea or a feeling. As coordinators of the Gallery, Strawn and Knebelsberger decide the themes for the works they wish to display, arrange publicity for the exhibits, balance the budget â€” $8000 per year for at least three shows per quarter â€” talk to the artists and physically hang and arrange the pieces in the exhibits. "A lot of the work that we encourage in shows is student work and this just provides a professional setting for the work to be seen by the public," Knebelsberger said. "It can be really hard for a student to start showing, and it's really important for students to show their artwork to start working on their resume," Strawn said. Gideon Breazeal, a senior art major, has his piece "R. Mutt Cell" displayed as a video in the exhibit. He said this piece deals mainly with a part of the art community where the characters â€” the amoebae symbolizing the collectors and dealers and bacteria representing the artists â€” are more reminiscent of a cartoon than conventional art. "It mainly deals with a section of the art world that views and uses - art as a commodity," Breazeal said. Breazeal achieved the effect of his piece by painting, scanning and manipulating watercolors in a computer to produce the final video, which he said took him about 220 hours to produce. Gonska's piece "Rot" is showing in the Small Works exhibit as well. It displays three seeds in various stages of decay. "I made this because there is something beautiful about inspecting organic things in a controlled way.... I think vagueness can be an asset, and obscurity can be interesting," Gonska said. Maggie Evans, a junior art major at Western, has a piece displayed in the exhibit composed of beads, fabric and a mirror, where the words are reflected back onto the mirror. She said the piece not only followed the requirements of her fibers class but also followed the theme of women having positive feelings and ideas about their sexuality. The premise behind one of two pieces presented by Western senior Sopheay Hun in the exhibit involved her choice to merge her double majors in art and science. She presented a piece entitled "The Microscope Series," which involves 12 prints of colonies similar to what one could find in a lab. "I grew them and cultured them and then took slides of them, and so these are the slides that I took," Hun said. The colonies are not conventional in any sense. They include feathers, safety pins, miniature light bulbs and sub-colonies of America. Admission to the 12x12x12 Small Works exhibit is free. The exhibit shows noon to 5 p.m. March 4 through April 2 "at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art's VU extension gallery. A reception is planned for 5 to 7 p.m. on March 30. Angela Smith / The Western Front Matt Hocker studies a sculpture by Ellen Peterson. by the By Brendan Shriane THE WESTERN FRONT Just when you thought the '90s were over and done with, along comes another take on the decade recently past. Veteran Bellingham actor and "self-described play- Angela Smith/The Western Front Walbeck in an act of shameless self- promotion. wright" Sean Walbeck and his local theater group ANBAHAR â€” Absolutely No Budget And Hardly Any Rehearsals â€” present "A Fistful of Walbeck." It is the accumulation of a decade of Walbeck's satirical insight on the happenings of Western, Bellingham and even a little about the world outside Whatcom County. Walbeck bills it as "a collection of short works almost like folk music but without the lucrative financial possibilities." Walbeck is a self-deprecating man with the acerbic sense of humor of Michael Moore and, when he introduces his tribute to the dramatic bit player, "There Are No Small Actors Company," the booming voice of Orson Welles. On rehearsal day, Walbeck, who describes himself as "too liberal for the times," wears a rumpled gray shirt and a brown and gold clip- on tie hanging from the collar of his shirt. He has put together a 90-minute collection of mostly comedic short pieces ranging in length from the one-line "There Are No Small Actors" renditions of dramatic classics such as the "Oresteia" and "Streetcar Named Desire" to a 15-minute play in which each character's lines consist of one word. Despite the brevity of most of the pieces, themes ranging from the aforementioned one-line plays to "Peaces," a series of interrelated monologues based on Walbeck's experience at a Gulf War protest, hold together Walbeck's sharp writing. The six individual speeches in "Peaces", united by the background of the 1991 protests at the Federal Building in Bellingham, are both funny and touching. They range from a harried teacher who unwittingly starts a riot of 5-year-olds at "The Preschool for Creative Nonviolence" to a traumatized pacifist who says, "I love my father, so I hate cap guns." The other interrelated strings are: "Transitions," which includes a poignant soliloquy on childhood disappointment at the circus, "Red Plaid Stories," a two-parter that includes "Bellingham Herald Homophobes" and a fake movie trailer about book banning and school levies that features an avenging band of banned authors. Why Red Plaid Stories? "Everybody on every side of every issue wears red plaid," he said. "It's not a distinguishing characteristic anymore." And "TAFHeads," a sort of catch-all category named after a brand of animal-headed water faucet covers. "Fistful of Walbeck" is not just short skits. It contains "The Kafka Shop," described by Walbeck as "Lit major comedy," and "Regrouping," the story of a recently divorced man arguing with his cat, a story based on the real-life experiences of one of Walbeck's good friends, a ^science fiction novelist. The best of the stand-alones is the 15-minute-long "Closing Time," a parody of the David Mamet school of "drama of the inarticulate." This play, in which each line is just one word, details the semiliterate communication of three pizza parlor workers who find they must close the restaurant early because they bought tickets for a concert on a night they should be working. "A Fistful of Walbeck" runs at the Seattle Fringe Festival for five performances at Theater Shmeater, tonight through March 18. ---------- Western Front 2000 March 10 - Page 9 ---------- March 10, 2000 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 9 Daniel Peters THE WESTERN FRONT Twist, turn, leap and throw may sound like a great play at second base, but it also applies to modern dance. The Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company won't be playing baseball at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when it brings its innovative choreography to the Performing Arts Center's main stage. "Modern dance is the dance of ideas," Western dance program director Nolan Dennet said. "The idea â€” the choreography â€” is what we serve," he said. Dennet said the traveling company, based in Salt Lake City, invited him to view a regular season performance there. The company takes between eight and 12 weeks out of its season to bring its production to other cities. "Sometimes we go into a community and do one outreach and one performance," company founder Joan Woodbury said, "It depends on the sponsor." This time the sponsor is Dennet, who scheduled class, time for the six company dancers to help teach classes throughout the week including a performance for public middle and high school students. "I told them to fill it up," Dennet said of the PAC. "There will probably be 300 (people)." In addition to teaching classes and performing, the company will include three Western dancers: Andrew Anderson, Sarah Frewen and Kathy Pottratz in "Tensile Involvement" by Alwin Nikolais. The piece includes the use of 'If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off.' Nolan Dennett Dance program director eight large elastic bands suspended from the ceiling and incorporates Nikolais' signature mechanical movement. The piece is more about physical effects and not emotional depth, Dennet said, explaining how his students would overcome the obstacle of learning the piece by Saturday with only three rehearsals. "If they've done their training right, they can jump right in and pull it off," he said. Emmy Thomson, the company's associate artistic director said the company has amassed a large repertoire of choreographed works to draw from and invites its presenter to create a performance befitting the sponsor's audience. Woodbury and Shirley Ririe brought Thomson in to eventually take over the company. "They've been my teachers for 20 years," Thomson said. Thomson said she danced for five years with the company in the 80s and went on to teach dance in Minnesota until the company eventually asked her to consider taking over. Thomson said the company works hard to bring dance to everyone. "Everyone has a creative well inside them â€” if you can bring that out in a child that is troubled, it makes all the difference," she said. Dance made the difference for second-year company dancer Aaron Draper. He said he chose it and a Spanish major over three years of engineering. "At U.C. Davis (dance) was under physical education," Draper said. "So I probably took 50 dance credits while I was there." Draper said within a year of his first college dance class he was performing. "If you're a male in dance â€” it's like one in 40 â€” whenever they need a male you get that role," he said. "It's something about Bellingham," Dennet said about Western's number of male dancers. "Everywhere else I've taught there has been one guy and when he graduates you're lucky to get a replacement." The company will also perform "Wien" by Pascal Rioult. The piece is "about a society spi-raling into decadence before the holocaust," Thomson said. The dancers perform "Wien" with such intensity they can barely stand for a bow at its conclusion, Thomson said. Tickets for the performance are available at the PAC box office. Prices are $18 for adults and $12 for children and students. gt;an PetersTThe Western Front Christine Hasegawa holds a pose while Juan Carlos Claudio snaps Liberty Valentine's neck during a rehearsal. :WORKS OF THE Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Two visitors take a peak at "Spawning Ground." By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT More than 70 colorful and oddly symmetrical wire sculptures dangle like pinatas from the ceiling of the Arco Exhibition Building. Thin filaments of wire seem to grow from a floor lamp glowing with eerie yellow light. A collection of "eggs" sit atop a round, sandy nest in the middle of the floor. "Un/natural World" brings 15 years of Lanny Bergner's work together in one building. Bergner's exhibit challenges the traditional nature of sculpture in both medium and presentation. Spotlighting his sculptures against the museum's black walls makes each piece seem removed from the rest of the exhibit. The disquieting techno music playing softly in the background adds to a somewhat unsettled atmosphere. In one corner, a series of nine conical, cocoon-shaped objects hangs from the ceiling, just above eye level. One nearly touches the ground; the others stop three feet short. Some are glazed with silicone with tiny, delicately placed needles circling from top to bottom. Another, "Persona III," is decorated with carpet tacks with the points facing outward, resulting in a striking resemblance to a medieval mace. In the middle of the exhibit, large amoeba-like wire sculptures hang at varying levels. Many resemble organisms one might see through a microscope; "Cold Stones," a collection of artificial rocks occupies a back, corner. Some "rocks" are pure white, others a mottled grey. Several flying saucer-like objects hover at chest level, directly behind a nest of eggs called "Spawning Ground." Wires spring like tentacles from from many of the sculptures. Museum visitors often seem unprepared for the strange and surreal nature of the exhibit. Some linger, looking quizzically at each piece, often matching up each sculpture with its name. Others glance quickly around and deciding this kind of art isn't for them, leave hastily. A former art instructor referred Bellingham resident John Hastings to the exhibit. His first reaction was to "take all this in as something weird." Hastings said however, he decided to spend time looking carefully and thinking about the names of the sculptures. His conclusion? "I wondered why he did it." Despite the mixed reactions of some viewers, Whatcom Museum chief curator Scott Walli, said, "Un/natural" World has been breaking attendance records. Attendance in December of 1999 was up 62 percent over the same month in 1998. The show is its own environment, Wallin said, and people are intrigued by it. "We felt that it would be very successful with a wide range of visitors," he said. One sunny Sunday, 170 people viewed the exhibit in five hours. Bergner has appeared in many craft shows around the Bellingham area, where Wallin first saw his work. Bergner states in the exhibits program that his sculptures record "feelings about how I viewed the world around me." He said he is fascinated by transforming common household items into something unusual and "organic in appearance." In addition to more common materials, Bergner also uses silicone and hydrocal. Inspired by the natural world, he said he creates art that "celebrates the wonder of it all." "Un/natural World" runs through March 19 at the Arco Exhibition Building in downtown Bellingam.

Greenen, one of the team's captains, will not let her torn left ACL stop her from playing her last season on the team. It may, however, stop her from playing third base as much and keep her behind home plate as catcher, which is her favorite position anyway. "Last year I played catcher 50 percent of the time and third base 50 percent of the time," Greenen said. "But since I tore my ACL last November, playing third is harder on my knee than playing catcher." Because side-to-side movements are more difficult for Greenen, she anticipates playing catcher most of the time. Greenen said she's nervous about her knee, but it won't stop the team from winning. She is convinced the team will do well, partly because of the team's talent and partly because the players have a close relationship with one another. "We're very close-knit," Greenen said. "There are no big problems, and everyone gets along, which is rare on a larger team." Catcher and third baseman Katie Osmundson, who played with Greenen the past four years, agreed with her. "Every girl is out to help every other girl," Osmundson said. Osmundson said Greenen helps out tremendously and has a concern for her teammates. "Andie is probably my inspiration," Osmundson said. "I look at Andie and watch her play ball, and she inspires me to go out and play 110 percent." Osmundson said she has never heard Greenen complain about anything, especially her knee. "I don't think she's human," Osmundson said. "She's a machine or something." Osmundson said when she heard Greenen tore her ACL she was not surprised Greenen would play this season. "That's just Andie," Osmundson said. "She's a very dedicated player, and I can't see her making any other decision." Greenen's knee doesn't affect her often and most of the time she is lighthearted, Osmundson said. "If I get frustrated in a game, Andie will always crack a joke or RETIREMENT I INSURANCE M U T (J A I F U N 0 5 TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING TIAA-CREF's tax-deferred solutions can help you reach your retirement goals faster.

Osmundson said Greenen never criticizes players for making mistakes and is supportive of everyone, which in turn encourages players to do their best. "She's an intense player, and she makes you play up to her level," Osmundson said. Softball coach Art Phinney said he agrees with Osmundson. "We just can't say enough about her," Phinney said. "She's one of the most explosive players we've seen here." Phinney also said that Greenen inspires players to improve. "She's extremely inspirational," Phinney said. "She motivates with actions and not words and is a strong example of what a player should be." After the season he said he will be sorry to have Greenen leave. "You always miss players when they graduate," Phinney said. "But some players become a little (more deeply) entwined in your heart than others."

Joseph leads Western's base-stealing attack. By Joe Wiederhold THE WESTERN FRONT Being at the other end of Gym D as Western fastpitch Softball team sluggers Sonya Joseph and Stacia Varney hit is like being downrange at a gun club. Varney and Joseph are two of six starters returning from a team that went 33-13 and beat No. 1 Humboldt State University twice. Incoming freshmen make up *for the loss of several standout players to graduation. Co-captain Katie Osmundson has complete confidence in the freshman class. "In the past you always (had) to wait and let the freshman mature," she said. "I think the majority of (our freshmen) are ready talent-wise and mental-wise." "I think these freshmen are gonna step up and do their job and get us to where we need to be this year â€” the playoffs,'' infielder Carlena Herd said. Head coach Art Phinney calls his freshman pitchers "young guns." They are only part of a freshman class that gives this year's team added depth. "We feel like we're deeper," with more talent, than we've ever (had)," Phinney said. "It's going to be numerous different heroes every time we play. There are so many people that have the ability to step up and take charge of the ball game." Several returning players put up amazing numbers last year. Catcher-third baseman Andie Greenen batted .378 with 48 hits, both team-leading and earning second-team all-star honors in the PacWest. Outfielder Joseph added 16 stolen bases to bring her career base-stealing record to 48 in as many attempts. Shortstop and co-captain Darcy Taylor batted .342 with 19 RBIs. Second baseman Coni Posey was also a second-team PacWest all-star, hitting .333 with 18 RBIs. As a freshman, Hope Truitt won a school-record 15 games with an ERA of 1.19 and pitched a nine-inning shutout against Humboldt State. "Looking at her, you wouldn't think she's a pitcher, but she dominates out there," co-captain Joseph said. "I think Hope Truitt has a pivotal role this year being the only pitcher with collegiate experience," Taylor said. Co-captain Greenen said team unity is as strong as her sophomore year when Western won the NAIA National Championship. "Camaraderie is better than it's ever been," center fielder Varney said. Viking women travel to PacWest regional tourney THE WESTERN FRONT Western's women's basketball team enters the PacWest regional tournament in Pomona, Calif. Friday as the No. 2 seed, with a 24-3 record. The Vikings received a bye for Thursday's opening round and will play the winner of the University of Alaska Anchorage Central Washington University game Friday. "The bye is really big," head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We beat Seattle Pacific in overtime last year. The next day (in a semifinal loss to Montana State- Billings) we ran out of steam in the second half. Getting that bye was a real goal for us." The tournament's winner earns a spot in the Elite. Eight at Pine Bluff, Ark. on March 22, 23 and 25. Other teams in the tournament include MSU-Billings, SPU and Cal Poly Pomona. Western faced all five tournament teams. The Vikings were 9-2 in those games, the only losses coming 74-68 at Cal Poly Pomona and 62-51 at Central. This is Western's third straight appearance in a national tournament. The Vikings reached the NAIA Division I tournament in 1998. Seniors Celeste Hill and Amanda Olsen lead the Vikings in scoring at 16.3 and 13.7 points per game, respectively. Center Lisa Berendsen is shooting a school-record 67 percent from the field (124 of 185). Guard Jodie Kaczor has hit 50 percent of her 3-point shots in the last five games. Sophomore guard broke into starting line-up midseason, never looked back Meghan Pattee THE WESTERN FRONT The majority of Western sophomore guard Jodie Kaczor's time is spent playing basketball. Kaczor's dad was a junior high coach and encouraged her to get involved with basketball at a young age. She began playing with the Amateur Athletic Union's Seattle Magic in sixth grade and continued through her senior year in high school. During this time she also played three years of varsity basketball for Federal Way High School along with three ' Jodie's a very coachable player. She's smart and picks up on things quicker than a lot of people.' Gina Sampson Assistant basketball coach years of varsity soccer and soft-ball. Her junior year she helped her basketball team win the Class 4A state title and earned second-team all-state honors. Her senior year she earned Tacoma News Tribune all-area first team and all-South Piiget Sound League while captain of her team. During her freshman year at Western, Kaczor played in 29 games. . As a sophomore, she is second in all-time 3-point percentage (42.7) and averages nearly six points per game and more than seven in league play. Kaczor chose to play at Western, after receiving an offer from the University of Denver Bronlea Hawkins/The Western Front Jodie Kaczor launches one of her 89 3-point shots this season. Her hot shooting has sparked Western's offense. because of the great program, coach and to be closer to home, she said. "I love the area and I loved playing with Ruthie (Taylor) in high school," Kaczor said. "I thought it would be great to keep playing together." "Playing together (in high school) was a blast," sophomore forward Ruth Taylor said. "We know each other really, really well. We knew (in college) we'd be able to lean on each other. "She's my girl and a leader emotionally," Taylor said. "On the court she is somebody you can look to for that big shot." "What's great about basketball is you get a chance (to) express yourself and go crazy on the court," Kaczor said. "You get to expressâ€žall your emotions." "She's very calming and stable to teammates, which is nice to have on the floor," assistant coach Gina Sampson said. "Jodie's a very coachable player," Sampson added. "She's smart and picks up on things quicker than a lot of people." Kaczor said she wants to win it all this season. "We're doing really well, and we've- figured out what we need to do as a team," she said. "That is, everyone can and does contribute." Kaczor is undecided in her major but is leaning toward business. "It's what my dad wants, so I thought I would give it a try," she said. Eventually she wants to coach basketball starting at the high school level and progress to the college level. "She's great," Sampson said. "She'll be a great coach someday because she knows the game so well."

FAIRHAVEN WWW.NAS.COM/ARGHERALE ---------- Western Front 2000 March 10 - Page 14 ---------- 14 â€¢ The Western Front OPINIONS Letters Editorials March 10, 2000 1-200 hinders equality A year-and-a-half ago, before the passage of Initiative 200, which made it illegal for companies and government institutions to hire on the basis of race, Gov. Gary Locke said the initiative would "abolish affirmative action and hurt real people." Washington state still faces a crisis of diversifying its higher learning institutions within the confines of the relatively new law. These institutions must take the issue of diversity into their own hands by actively preparing younger students for entrance into a college or university. Western's minority students comprised only 13.3 percent, 1,546 people, of the total student population in 1998. Washington voters can't expect the state's schools to level the playing field without actively saving enrollment spots for minority students. The end of affirmative action effectively took away any advantage minorities had in competing with the already-advantaged 88.5-percent white population in Washington. This majority must speak up for the underrepresented, and unless voters overturn 1-200, these freedom fighters must find another means to guarantee equal hiring and enrollment. The solution to the legal blockades of 1-200 lies with outreach programs. It is still very legal to encourage minority students to attend in-state institutions and help them compete with other students for admission. The American Civil Liberties Union recently filed a lawsuit in California, a state that passed similarly phrased Proposition 209, charging that disadvantaged and ethnic minority students whose high schools offer few or no Advanced Placement courses are at a disadvantage in competing with students who can access more AP courses. Only 61 percent of Washington state high schools offer such courses. These courses and other opportunities for college credit such as Running Start in high school indicate academic excellence to college admissions officers. By increasing access to them, students could strive for admission into the college of their choice. Schools also need to encourage students to take these classes to prepare them for college-level academic work. Some in-state colleges and universities send recruiters to state high schools. The University of Washington promotes early outreach, going as far as kindergarten to ensure students motivate themselves to be candidates for college education. Western sends admissions information to all students of color who take the PSAT test and encourages ethnic minority students at Western to participate in the Western Experience Program (returning to their high schools for informal recruitment) and the Vike Admit (calling all newly admitted students to answer any questions). Individually, Western students can and should encourage diversity by participating in these programs and spreading the word. Additionally, Western's newly formed Project Kaleidoscope is working to promote and instill diversity into the curriculum by adding more classes dealing with race and minority issues. This will undoubtedly earn Western a reputation for being an open-minded institution. The presence and influence exhibited by Western's Ethnic Student Center and other Resource and Outreach Programs speaks to a student population that refuses to sit idle and be content with a specialized population. The death of legalized affirmative action in Washington did not and cannot stop diversity.

City council needs to take a stand GP water rates need to be decided locally instead of in state courts^ April Uskoski COMMENTARY The Bellingham City Council made only a weak 5-to-2 vote concerning a referendum of Bellingham's water rates for the Georgia Pacific Corp., leaving many to question the validity and strength of the council. The council passed an ordinance on Dec. 14 amending the Bel-lingham municipal codes relating to the city's water utility. â€¢ The ordinance established a special "industrial" water-use category with a rate close to one-tenth of what all other Bellingham businesses pay. The catch is it applies only to GP. Concerned citizens presented a petition seeking a referendum, or a direct public vote, on the proposed ordinance. The council had to determine whether the referendum petition was qualified to be on the ballot. Instead of making a decision â€” that was in their power â€” the council voted to send it to a superior court judge for the court to determine the validity of the petition. It states in the city's governing body in the Revised Codes of Washington 35.92.010 that the council had the power to establish "classes of water users for the rate purposes." Water rates can be set by the council because it issues the bonds necessary to finance the water system. Why is it then that the council insists on straying from its 'It is the right and responsibility of the of the council to set the water rates ...' direct power and displacing the decision to someone else? Are these the people who Bellingham residents have elected to make legislative decisions for them? Sending the referendum to a judge, who undoubtedly will rule the petition as invalid, relays to the public the work the council has done thus far in establishing water rates is invalid. Why not spare the taxpayers and everyone else any unnecessary litigation and expenses and make a decision â€” take a stand. A number of cases are similar to the council's situation that deal with power concerning a referendum. An example is the case of Haas vs. Pomeroy. Citizens of Pomeroy submitted a petition for a referendum to amend the city's water utility rates. The Washington state Supreme Court said the power to fix utility rates was "vested exclusively in the City's corporate authorities" and denied the referendum be submitted to the voters. It is the right and responsibility of the council to set the water rates, so voters are curious why the council didn't take that right and act on it. The public process used in establishing the ordinance resulted in a fair and legal one. Hesitation and displacement of power are not the keys to this legislative authority, and it is not the obligation of the council to waste the time of taxpayers by making them make the decisions the council should have made in the beginning.

A.S. silent to protect former V.P.s' privacy As a member of the A.S. board of directors, I am responding to the recent Front article regarding our not giving the students information about Morgan Hepfer's resignation. Victor Cox's Community Voice piece, Feb. 29, clarified this was done to protect Hepfer. In any personnel matter, the details are confidential. We will continue to protect his right to privacy,' even if that means forfeiting the right to defend ourselves. Jefri Peters' resignation came as a shock to us. In her letter of resignation, she cites lack of communication as her reason for leaving. She communicated nothing to us, however, before releasing the letter to The Front. In our closed meeting, she revealed other reasons. Again, to protect her right to privacy, I am not free to discuss her issues, except to call them "personal" reasons. Both Hepfer and Peters said for one reason or another they were no longer able to do their jobs.

About 50 people attended theforum, the first of a series co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate and the Associated Students under the general heading "Western As It Enters the 21st Century." The panel consisted of faculty membersHarry Ritter, history; Kenneth Hoover, political science; and Constance Faulkner, Fairhaven, as wellas students Michael Dumas, A.S. Social Issues coordinator, and Erin Middlewood. Before opening thefloor to the comments of the audience, each panel member spent about five minutes summarizingtheir views on the issues. An article called "Free Speech for Campus Bigots?" by John Wiener from theJan. 26 issue of The Nation had been distributed to the panelists as a suggested starting point for thediscussion. The article dealt with the rationale for and against codes which have been instituted at anumber of American universities prohibiting verbal harassment of racial minorities, women, homosexualsand other minorities. One incident discussed in the article was the statement of a student in aUniversity of Michigan classroom discussion in 1989. The student said he considered homosexualityadisease treatable with therapy. Hewascharged in a university disciplinary hearing with violating theschool's harassment code. A district court judge eventually ruled in Sept. 1990 that the university'srules violated the First Photo by Jonathan Burton Panel members for the "Freedom of Speech in theClassroom for Faculty and Students" forum included (from left to right), Harry Ritter, Erin Middlewood,Kenneth Hoover, Michael Dumas and Constance Faulkner. Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Thearticle drew distinctions between broad and narrow codes which have been adopted by variousuniversities. The broadest codes, such as the one instituted at the University of Michigan, prohibit arelatively wide range of actions; the University of Michigan's prohibited "any behavior, verbal orphysical, that stigmatizes or victimizes an individual on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, sex,sexual orientation, creed, national orientation, ancestry, age, marital status, handicap or Vietnam-eraveteran $1810$." Codes based on the narrow approach prohibit only the most threat-enmg andinflammatory casesof face-to- face abusive speech, according to the article â€” an attempt to deal withthe concernsofcivilUbertarians. Some scholars contend there is a legal basis for these kinds of rulesunder the "fighting words" doctrine created by the Supreme Court in the l942caseof Chaplinsky v. NewHampshire. The comments of most of those present at the forum indicated that while sensitivity isneeded, freedom of speech considerations outweigh any rationale for instituting such codes at Western.No one actually endorsed any specific reforms which should be enacted by the Associated Students,Faculty Senate or administration. "I believe that the university is an institution for the expansion ofknowledge, and that this is only possible through free discourse," Middlewood said. "Once we validate censorship as a tool... it wjll be used Please see Forum, page 4 Fairhaven program strives fordiversification of legal profession By George Tharalson staff reporter A two year law program designed to get underrepresented groups more involved in the legal system began this year at Fairhaven College.The law and diversity program is aimed at developing the skills and knowledge necessary for law school, targeting students whose ethnic, social or economic community is underrepresented in the legalprofession. Underrepresented groups include ethnic minorities, people from backgrounds of povertyand people who are gay or interested in gay rights, said Rand Jack, faculty member at Fairhaven andone of the leaders of the program. The program got its spark after Washington State Supreme CourtJustice Charles Z. Smith spoke on campus about the lack of ethnic minorities in the legal system,Jack said. Various law schools encouraged Fairhaven to begin with the program. Jack said.Encouragement also came from within. Fairhaven Dean Marie Eaton and Western Provost LarryDeLorme were both very supportive, he added. The program officially kicked off Sept. 21, when JusticeSmith led the first seminar. "Since all of this was his fault, he had to get it started off," Jack saidjokingly. "There is no other program like this we know of," said Lorraine Bannai, Fairhaven facultymember and the other leader of the program. Bannai was hired last spring specifically for this program. "I've taught in the law-school environment for the last 10 years," she said. "We are delighted. She wasthe best of all possible applicants (for this job)," Jack said. The program contributes to the goal ofdiversifying the legal profession, something that really needs to happen, Bannai said. It encouragesparticipation from ethnic minorities and the disadvantaged. It exposes them to the legal profession andequips them with the skills they will need to enter and successfully complete law school, she said. Theprogram is a preparation for law school. It is a junior-senior program. To enroll, students must havecompleted or nearly completed their GURs. The program is law-related and skill-related, Bannai said.Students will receive instruction on the American legal system and the American political system. Theywill be exposed to legal issues relating to minorities. Students will also receive instruction in writingskills, verbal communication skills and analytic skillsâ€”all of which are important to the practice of law.Fifteen students are enrolled in the program, Bannai said. These IS will stay together over the next twoyears. "The students are very committed and energetic, hard-working, they want to achieve goals andwant to be vehicles for social change. They want to go to law school," Bannai said. "(The program) isreally exciting," she said. "It's exciting to be working with undergraduates." Since the program is new,a few things remain up in the air. It is not known yet if a new group will enter the program next year,Bannai said. It will depend on the success of the program and the availability of resources, Jack said."We have no control over resources," Jack said. "We will have to start addressing this question soon." ButBannai said this question does not change the commitment to the IS students currently enrolled.They will be here for the next two years, Bannai said. "That commitment has been made." "We hope(this) can be a model program for other schools to pattern their programs after," Jack said.

Adequate accommodations for the students is a growing concern, and Westernis dealing with the issue and taking steps to recognize and satisfy the needs of those students with awide range of mobility and learning disabilities. Disabled Student Services sponsored a seminarWednesday on this issue, featuring guest speaker Salome Heyward, an attorney advisor onhandicappedstudentservice programs in post-secondary education. Heyward deals with cases involvingthe legal rights and responsibilities of institutions with regard to federal statutes and regulations. Theseminar lasted throughout the course of the day and was attended by many members of the staff andfaculty. Heyward said post-secondary institutions have been losing decisions in cases involvingdisabled students. It has become clear that if a student is qualified to be admitted into a program, they cannot be denied the right of admission without clear evidence the individual will jeopardize theacademic integrity and credibility of the institution's program. However, post-secondary schools arehaving problems justifying their denial in the court system. They decide on defenses like: the student issimply not qualified to be in the program or they will cost the program too much. "If you can't justifyyour own decision, you yourself are injuring the very thing you say you want to protect If you can'tpresent clear-cut reasons why this student can't be accommodated for, then you lose cases. And thatmeans you lose academic freedom and academic integrity," Heyward said. She gave the exampleof the University of Alabama's failure to provide adequate services to its disabled students. Theuniversity had a business education program on the third floor of one of its buildings and had no accessfor disabled students. Consequently, the university would only allow disabled students to participate in the program by having them either take the courses on the first floor which deprived them of participation with the rest of the students, or take the courses on a pass/ fail grading criteria. If the students didnot want this, they were not allowed to enter the program. This case was taken all the way to the U.S. Court of Appeals and the University of Alabama lost every case on the way there. The Rehabilitation Act of 1974 states all disabled individuals have the same right to participation as any non-disabledindividual. The federal government, as Heyward asserts, provides major funding to post-secondaryschools and has set standards under the Rehabilitation Act of 1974 for federal institutions to abide by.The University of Alabamadidn't abide by them and lost in every case. As long as schools cannot provide legitimate reason for their decisions, they will continue to lose cases, Heyward said. Institutions havebeen slow in facing up to the fact that they must be able to justify themselves. Heyward gave three basic responsibilities institutions have neglected, but should follow in order to comply with federalregulations: 1. Do not discriminate on the basis of disability. Treat students equally regardless of theirlimitations and admit them if they are qualified. 2. Provide "meaningful" access to facilities andprograms. 3. Balance all of the rights of students. This-includes balancing the The Western FrontAdvertising Sales Representative Position open immediately Position: -Advertising Sales RepresentativeRequirements: -Prior sales experience helpful but not essentail (training provided) -Capable of dealingwith the public -Full time student enrollment required To Apply: -Submit resume and cover letter toCollege Hall, Room 110.

Partner in the United Way possibility of jeopardizing the programs efficiency andintegrity, the rights of the non-disabled students, and the rights of the disabled students. A difficultaspect of the issue involves the degree to which a disabled student must be accommodated for. Thepossibility of preferential treatment should not become a part of the controversy. A disabled person isto only be provided with what they need in order to be equal to the rest of the students without being ahindrance to theprogram, Heyward said. However, every post-secondary school must be able to justifyits decisions regarding the disabled. There must be clear reasons for the provision or non-provision ofservices by the institution. "The thing that we have to understand â€” and it's the thing that most post-secondary institutions are having the most difficulty with now â€” is for years we've had admissionstandards and criteria for participating in programs that everyone spoke, and now all of a sudden wefind ourselves in this legal arena where people are saying to you," Why are all these things important toreceive a degree?'...If you want to protect your academic freedom, then you have to begin to come upwith answers to the question 'why,'" she said. The post-secondary schools doing the best job are theones that are the most creative, said Heyward. They are the ones trying to figure out ways of educatingall students. In order to do this, they have evaluated their programs on the basis of what the real purpose of their programs are. They are the ones trying to figure out what skills they are trying to teach andwhether that is hurt by accommodating disabled students. There is a degree to which an institutioncannot accommodate the disabled. Heyward recognized that some institutions have limited resources.

Counselors at the center say the grant will gotowards buying desktop publishing equipment, making the counseling center, a relatively unknown anduntapped resource on campus, evenmore accessible to students. James Orr, counselor and grantadministrator, said he believes the publishing equipment should be fully functional by December andaccessible to the students at that time. The new equipment will provide brochures on topics that affect students both physically and mentally. Hopefully, by providing the brochures and posters, studentswill be able to receive resources and information they might not have received without them. "With thenew equipment we will be able to make flyers, posters, and pamphlets to reach the students," Qrr said."For example, when the school needed the freshmen students to get measles shots last year, we justdidn't have the capabilities to print out any of the brochures," Orr said. "It is important to get informationout to the students." The health and mental wellness of the students are correlated, because manytimes a student will go to Health Services with a problem that is related to a mental problem, or vice-versa. Orr said he is looking for graphic design students interested in doing work study to produce thebrochures. The grant is from the St. Luke's Foundation, a foundation established in 1983 when St.Joseph's Hospital bought St. Luke's Hospital and decided to setup a non-profit foundation to supportWhatcom and Island County health concerns. Western received an estimated $2,000 grant from St.Luke's to help stock the Counseling Center's lending library. Located across from the Counseling Centerin Miller Hall 263, the lending library provides students with books on various mental and healthissues. The Counseling Center staffs five full time counselors and provides free professional counselingto Western students. The counselors provide short term services â€” which Orr refers to as "focus brieftherapy" â€” to help with problems ranging from parents' divorce to problems with social skills. *TheCounseling Center is a well-used service that actually can help empower students," Orr said. Orr said he has seen a rise in the severity of the problems affecting students, but attributes the increase toanational trend. The number of students using the center's services has increased over the last 10 years. In 1981 -82,9 percent of Western students using the Counseling Center's services reported severeproblems. In the past two years, 24 percent of its clients have done so.

"There is no fixother than the attitudes that we all bring into the classroom. There is no legal fix," Hoover said.Managerial and legal considerations define the outer perimeter of the sacred space which the university occupies, he said, "but they do not supply its real governance, or the principle that are at the heart ofthe university. They cannotdo that.

The ultimate irony may be that in straining so far to create an atmosphere conduciveto learning by all persons, something that we all want, we may actually produce a climate of suspicion,involuntary self-censorship, denunciation and even provocation." "What often begins as the celebration of downtrodden group identity and dignity, easily slides into collective narcissism and the celebration of intolerance," he said. A few people also expressed the sentiment that Western should embrace amore critical, multicultural and non-traditional curriculum in the interest of promoting diversity. "By far the majority of the materials that we use in the classroom have been written and/or formulated by elitegroups," Faulkner said. "Their lives, their experiences and their viewpoint...are taken as the norm." "Theliterary canon was established, or became set in stone more or less, in this century with the advent ofliterary readers in high schools and universities. What got put into those readers now constitutes thecanon, for the most part, and is now considered to be somewhat sacred, even though the people whoput it in there are not gods," she said.

Special Events creates financial woes By Clayton Wright staff reporter When the Village People take the stage tonight in Carver Gym,Associated Students Special Events will try to erase part of the financial hole created by the lowturnout from their first sponsored event. A.S. Special Events Coordinator John Sims said he's alreadyspent $40,000 for fall quarter; a large figure considering he's initially allotted a $30,000 base operatingbudget for the entire school year. "The A.S. Board has supported me for the Village People," Sims said. "They'll underwrite me since I've spent my budget. They trust it will be a good show. If this show doesn'tfly, you can write off the rest of the year." Even though Sims is leery of failure following the fiasco ofthe first show, he assures a top-notch performance tonight. "There'llbe nothing likeit,"Sims said. "It'sthe original Village People, no b.s. They'll really be singing, wearing the same costumes, performingtheir old songs using dancers and other psycho stuff. It'll be totally hilarious." In an all-out effort toupgrade entertainment at Western, Sims went out on a limb to bring the acts students want. Sims saidhe had faith in the student body. He listened, and he booked the acts.But they didn'tcome. In the firstshow, the David Alan Grier and Mark Curry comedy night, A.S. Special Events lost approximately$7,000. Why, you ask? Sims has no clue. "The interview I gave for the Welcome Back issue statedclearly that I needed to sell out my shows," Sims said. "It's crucial because these shows cost more and it's a smaller venue." Hoping to revitalize the success of comedy on campus, Sims took the initiativeand looked to book other comedy acts for the future. Now, however, such shows would be far too great a risk. "It's really too bad this campus isn't getting behind comedy. I don't have enough faith in thisschool, in (the students') ability to support comedy to bring another act here," Sims said. "I can't takethat risk again. I took the risk and I lost my shirt." Sims said he feels confident that when jazz greatBranford Marsalis makes his appearance on campus, the returns will at least equal the costs. "I'm notworried about the students supporting me. They don'tneed to this time," Sims said. "That's the oneshow I got that if the students tell me to go to hell, great. I'll still get my money back. Those who knowhim come, not just from here but from all over. It's a guaranteed sell out." Nevertheless, Sims said hefeels some of his effort has been wasted. "Seeing the shows that I really wanted to bring and the things I was looking toward have failed, it means I have to change my direction and go towards something elseand maybe shrink the venues," Sims said. "Everyone around is saying 'Oh my God, you're putting things in the gym and the P.A.C., you're doing such an excellent job because you're not settling for the (Viking Union Main) lounge.' Now if I have to start pushing things back to the main lounge, I don't want peoplecoming up to me and saying 'Where the hell is the entertainment?' " "I tried. I provided. If they don'tsupport me, they're basically screwing themselves. I'm trying to provide a diverse line-up," Simsconcluded. Sims said he'd like input to help schedule for winter and spring quarter. He can be reached in VU 108. Law and Diversity continued from page 1- is a wonderful opportunity for Western to dealwith the whole issue of diversity on campus and the issue of underrepresentation of minorities in thelegal profession, Jack said. Access to the U.S. legal system points to power, Jack said. Minorities aretraditionally underrepresented in the legal field. According to the Law and Diversity Program brochure, inWashington state â€” as well as nationwide â€” very few judges, interpreters, lawyers or courtemployees are people of color. "To be on par with the majority population, the number of African-American lawyers must double, His-panics triple and Native Americans increase by four times. In half the counties in our state, there are no minority lawyers," according to the brochure. "Access to court isaccess to justice in our legal system. Minorities being underrepresented makes it more difficult forminority communities to exercise their legal rights." "Through programs like this, we encourage minority students and expose them to the opportunity of going to law school," Bannai said. Many minority and underprivileged groups feel they have to be straight-A students, but that's not necessarily true. "Manydon't understand law can be a vehicle for social change. If you come from a minority background, maybe you only see the bad end of the law," she said.'The students seem pretty excited about the possibilities (the program) has opened for them." Each student will have a lawyer as a professional mentor. Inaddition, students must complete a legal internship. The program is open to anyone with a stronginterest in issues of law and diversity. According to the brochure, Fairhaven is particularly "looking forstudents whose ethnic, social or economic community is underrepresented in the legal profession and who have the potential to act as leaders and role models in their community."

Since theconcert is a costume party, everybody is encouraged to dress in an imaginative costume. The show issponsored by Associated Students Production Special Events. Jonathon Sims, ASP Special EventsCoordinator and Troy Ragsdale, ASP Special Events Assistant Coordinator, have collected a widerange of prizes for the event. The prizes will be given to three winners who wear the best costumes.Sims hopes prizes will "...inspire people to dress coolly." Ragsdale and Sims said prizes include: freepizzas, tickets to a Mama Sundays conceit, breakfast at the Bagelry, cases of Pepsi, "way cool" beersigns and a "totally kick-ass" Up and Up Tavern t-shirt. Sims said he got the Village People here bywriting a letter to them "expressing his interest" in a performance at Western. Their agent responded and Sims put the show together with Ragsdale. Sims said, 'If you don't show up (for the show)Winter Quarter will suck. I need at least 2,000 people there. If we get that many people there, we'll make up all the money we lost at the comedy show." This quarter ASP special events have beenunsuccessful; namely the comedy show earlier this quarter. Sims hopes to get larger acts at Western in the future. The Village People show will be a stepping stone for the future success of ASP events.Village People have a "real following" at Western, Sims said. In the past two years Sims, Ragsdaleand others have performed Village People's "Macho Man" and "Y.M.C.A." at Western Jam. For those of you who have not followed the success of the Village People in the last decade, Sims said they have"...toured in Europe for years and will be in Portland before they perform at Western." As for the historyof Village People, Ed Ward, Geoffrey Stokes and Ken Tucker, authors of "Rock of Ages," said "TheVillage People was a pop concept invented by producer Jacques Morali..." that stunned fans in the disco era. Their hilarious and cheery jingles set to heavy disco beats were a success in the 1970s.Between 1977 and 1979 "In The Navy", "Y.M.C.A." and "Macho Man" were all platinum-selling hits.Ward, S tokes and Tucker said the Village People is a disco group that Â«crgt; $2.00 PITCHERS (60oz.)

What more could possibly be said for acomedy team that has lasted more than 30 years? The Smothers Brothers will be appearing at 8 p.m.Oct. 26 at the Mount Baker Theatre for one show only. The Smothers Brothers had their own comedyshow, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," which ran from 1967 to 1969. Through their classic gagssuch as the Yo-Yo Man, "take it Tom" and Michael Row the Boat Ashore, the Smothers Brothers foundtheir way into the hearts of many Americans. The Smothers Brothers sing folk songs, with Tom playingthe guitar and Dick on bass, that are constantly interrupted with Tom's antics. Tom plays the slow-witted brother who goes "emotionally vague" at some of the most inopportune moments. Meanwhile, hisbrother Dick is constantly trying to get Tom to grow up and actually put on a mature show. "Youhaven't done one adult, responsible thing on this stage since you arrived," Dick said at aperformance covered by the Calgary Herald on June 6,1989. "Yes, I have. In fact right now I'm wearinga condom," Tom replied. The Yo-Yo Man is also part of the Smothers popularity. Tom performs yo-yotricks while Dick narrates. Tom doesn't talk when he is in the "state of Yo" because as he explains,when he's in a state of Yo he is too hip to verbalize anything. Their show was canceled at the end of the1969 season because of disputes that some of the material that they wanted to use was toocontroversial. Political tensions and the Vietnam War were situations that the Smothers had to fightto talk about on television. The cancellation came as a shock to the writers and performers becausethey were still in the top ratings. The Smothers went on to other things, like starting their own winery,and did another show in 1975. However, they felt they were only being hired to play the part of theSmothers Brothers with no artistic input so they took a break for the next five years. In the early 1980s,the Smothers reformed their comedy team and began working the comedy circuits again. A 20-yearreunion show in 1988 brought together many of the people who worked on the Smothers Brothers showin the '60s. Steve Martin made an appearance as one of the, now successful writers and performers,that got their start on the Smothers Brothers show.

Summer Stock's Quiltersrevived for another sold-out season By Karl Jensen copy editor Quilters, Western's most successfulSummer Stock '91 production, was carried over for a second run this quarter because of theoverwhelming public response. Tickets for each performance during both the summer and fall seasonswere sold out weeks prior to opening night. Quilters' fall performances officially began Thursday and runs through Sunday. Lines are expected for each show in the off chance that no-show tickets may becomeavailable. "It's very gratifying to have something that people look forward to and seek tickets for early,"Theater Arts Chairman Doug Vander Yacht said. Because of the staggering public response to Quilters,Vander Yacht held 50 seats for each performance exclusively for students until Oct 14. After that datethe tickets were made available to the public. "We're seeking all kinds of ways to bring more studentsinto the mix of an audience we have," Vander Yacht said. Approximately 30-40 percent of the averageWestern theater audience is students, he said. Quilters is a historical musical-drama, based on the reallife experiences of pioneer women in the American Southwest It evokes emotional and striking images,although it may be hard to imagine that a "musical" could do so. The setting is simple, as is the music.Yet, on the whole, both are very effective and necessary. "I think that the actors were able to bring asense of portrayal â€” not a cartoonish or caricature of the people that tried to bring some real humanfeeling and life to those moments within the play that, I thinkmakes the play go well, "Director Ruben VanKempen, of Seattle, said. Quilters is definitely an actor's and director's play. With over 90 separateroles, the all female cast bounces from children to grandparents, from male to female impressively andrather realistically. The staging and directing choices made by Van Kempen were both natural andintricate. His ability to blend the jump-cuts into different characters with the predominant characteridentities is impressive, as is the flexibility of the actors. "I'd seen Quilters once before and I 'd loved it. Ithought it would be just a real big director's challenge â€” which it really was," Van Kempen said. Thehighlight of the production is the stunning acting throughout the cast. The seven member female ensemble draws the audience into the play with incredibly moving dialogue and stirring pain and passion. "At firstit seems like you're distant from this â€” very distant â€” but then at the end you find that you're notdistant from it at all, but a part of it It's very moving," audience member and Environmental StudiesProfessor Richard Mayor said. It does require a bit of conditioning to begin to enjoy the play, however.The surreal music and dancing struck me, at first, as a tad off-center. Yet, by the conclusion, I was notonly entertained, but enthralled. IBM PS/2 Collegiate Tour Join us.. Fun, food, and freebies. All on IBM.

Even the most civilized shopper's eyes glaze over and palms moisten,when confronted with an enticing array of unnecessary plastic objects. Here in Bellingham, many haveopted to shun the glitz and glamour of Bellis Fair for the down and dirty world of thrift shopping (orthrifting, as it is lovingly referred to by its devotees.) From the grand scale of Value Village, on the northside, to the claustrophobic intimacy of thedown-stairs collection at Pace New and Used, Bellingham'smany thriftshops offer bargain shoppers a dizzying selection of perfectly good stuff. Value Village is byfar the largest of the local thrift shops. Its size would probably qualify it as the only "thrift emporium" intown. Racks of used apparel stretch for 10s of yards from Value Village's spacious entry, topped-by-glass shelves covered with a mingling of fashion accessories and household items. Men to the right,women to the left and kids in the center, the Village earns its title as a "value department store." ButValue Village isn't without its detractors. A Bellingham woman who asked to be referred to as JoyceTaylor, (her family still thinks she shops at the Bon), appraised Value Village with mixed feelings."Overall, Value Village is the best for furniture, but they're by far the most expensive for clothing," Taylorsaid. Taylor, a self-confessed thrifting addict, says that she frequents the local thrift shops every week.And while that may seem obsessive, the frequency of her thrift shop visits Lyn Allen tries on a second-hand hat at The Mad Hatter. may be a key to her success as a "thrifter." The Salvation Army ThriftShop, Taylor's favorite bargain source, has become a battleground in the "thrifting" war. "You have to hitthe place frequently, because all of the dealers are always there getting the best stuff," Taylor said.The dealers Taylor refers to are the owners of private thrift shops who stock their stores with vintageitems purchased from the bigger non-profit stores, in addition to items found at garage and estate sales. The rise in popularity of vintage goods has made the market for recycled stuff much more competitivethan it's been in the past, and forces the thrift shopper to approach bargaining in an analytical manner.Often, to find those treasures that disappear so quickly in the cosmopolitan Bellinghammarketplace, shoppers must look elsewhere for bargains. "I often go down to the Mt. Vemon SalvationArmy Store,"Tay-lor said. "They're not as aware of vintage values in ML Vernon." To illustrate her point,Taylor mentioned that the Bellingham store had created a vintage comer, a feature unlikely to appear ina less vintage-conscious area. So, what is hot these days? Stephen Stimson, the owner of Lone Wolf,a memorabilia shop next to the Whatcom Museum, says that the big sellers today are leftover toys ofthe baby boomers. "I like the '50s and '60s kind of stuff â€” the things I remember from my childhood,"Stimson said. Lone Wolf's shelves reflect Stimson's passion for the things of the innocent '60s.Strangely, what should be comforting in its familiarity ends up grotesque in the Lone Wolf setting. Theatmosphere is like David Lynch's playpen. No offense, Stephen. The love affair with recycledmerchandise in Bellingham has fostered a sizeable circuit of thrift and vintage stores locally. Taylor,like many bargain hunters, has her favorites. Along with the Salvation Army, Taylor has taken a shineto Y's Buys on Holly Street. Despite the relatively small size of the shop, Taylor notes that she's found a number of treasures there. "They're inexpensive...and the women who work there are so sweet," Photoby Jonathon Burton Taylor said. Another of Taylor's favorites is the Mad Hatter, a downtown vintageclothing store. Taylor stresses the distinction between thrift store and vintage clothing store. "At thriftstores, you really have to scrutinize the clothing. At vintage clothing stores like the Mad Hatter, all themerchandise is pre-washed or dry cleaned," Taylor said. "And generally, the clothing is of much betterquality." It's a strange and wonderful world that lies behind the doors of the thrift shop. Cheap, cheerfuland full of neat stuff â€” it's worth a peek. By the way, does anyone need a Vegr-_aa-_mÂ«naattiirc*?7Used items - a cheap alternative for college budgets By Laura King staff reporter Antique stores havetheir own mystical quality, because once you enter the store, you enter a room full of other peoples'memories. These stores are packed with items that have been previously used and now are being resoldfor someone else to use. These stores carry furniture, knickknacks, jewelry, books, almost anything youfeel the urge to buy. With some good luck you can find some real treasures. Bargain hunting reallybecomes a factor for a good antique store hound. In Bellingham, you can find a majority of the antiquestores close to campus on Holly Street. These antique shops range in price from inexpensive toexpensive, depending on the item. The stores are in walking distance of each other and offer a wide range of items. One of the first shops that you'll come across going west on Holly Streetis Aladdin's AntiqueMall and Espresso Bar. Aladdin's carries an unusual array of odds and ends. Employee Walter Robinson said, "Our store has about 20 different dealers with different specialities, giving us a diversified inventory." The store also has an extra bonus because it sells Tony's coffee and espresso for those shoppers thatneed an extra push of caffeine while they shop. The store does carry rare collectibles for the moreserious antique shopper along with the inexpensive useful stuff for college students on a limited budget.Further down Holly Street, you find the higher concentration of antique stores. Starting with theBellingham Antique Mall which carries items for the more serious shopper with more serious money tospend. This store carries the more expensive items, so it may not be the store for those who are lookingfor a thrifty purchase. As you head further west down Holly, you will see quite a few small stores, eachwith their own personal touch and charm. One of these stores is Bristol Antiques. Bristol Antiques hasbeen open for 20 years and is run by Estella Gelder. Gelder's husband formerly taught at FairhavenCollege as a math teacher. Gelder's speciality is reference books on antiques, but she sells everythingfrom furniture to glass china. Her store targets the more serious collectors, because most of her business is repeat business from antique dealers. "I'm very moderately priced because a lot of my sales goes todealers and they only buy things that are cheap to resell," Gelder said. Despite Gelder's steady influx ofbusiness from dealers, she did recall a college student that had come in the week before. The girl hadcome to Bristol's because she had needed a coffee mug to put her hot chocolate in and she knew thatshe would be able to find an inexpensive mug at Gelder's store. Bellingham Bay Collectibles is anotherstore on Holly that carries such items as clothing, books and jewelry for relatively low prices. This storeis full of good bargains for the shopper that is willing to take the time and effort to look for them. Cyrano'sis a small store with furniture, such as tables and chairs and a wide selection of collectibles to choosefrom. "We're very moderately priced because our items are second hand. This means that we have to becheaper than anywhere else," employee Frances Farnsworth said. Next to Cyrano's is an antique storecalled the Pink Flamingo. This store is crammed with goodies for the thrifty shopper. It has furniture andknickknacks galore. The store also comes equipped with two cats that greet the customers as theyarrive. Pace's, a little further down the street, carries new and used furniture and a wide range of tools.The store is a little more on the expensive end of the price range. This is just a list of a few of the antiquestores in Bellingham. These stores can save you a bundle and their fun to explore. That's one of the bestpart of antique stores, you never know what you '11 find. Antique stores are the perfect place for a college student to pick up items that are in good shape and that don't cost an arm and a leg. So some daywhen your looking for that perfect desk, plate, bookshelf, mug. Instead of running down to the mall, whynot take the time to check an antique shop. It just might be worth .your while after all. What do you haveto lose? Hey, who knows, you just might find a perfect bargain!

But this isnotjustarecent trend, however, asBellingham has been involved inthe used record business since 1972. Buying and trading used records, tapes and CDs has been themajor economic staple of business for the last 20 years at Cellophane Square, 115 E. Magnolia St."We've only been doing new products for the last 10 years," said Chris Conner of Cellophane. The main market used to be in the trading of old records, but that is no longer the case. "Records themselves have fallen off lately. People are not buying them as much as they used to," Conner said. "(Records) are stilla good business, but not what it once was. Tapes and CDs are where it's at." Cellophane Square movedto its current downtown location about two and a half years ago, a move which has done nothing butincrease business, as the traffic flow of the area is much greater than the store's former northsidelocation. "Its a good business. (There are) four stores that buy CDs within four blocks of here. There's adefinite market (here)," Conner said. Conner said the three Western Washington area Cellophane Square stores are doing so well, the owners are planning to build a fourth store sometime soon. He said theBellingham Cellophane store has been "stockpiling tapes and CDs for months" in anticipation of thegrand opening of the new store. Cellophane has simple rules for buying and selling. You need to be 18years of age and must have a valid driver's license. The only thing which fluctuates is the value given onyour trade-in. How much it is worth to Cellophane depends solely on what it is you are bringing in. "If you bring in Milli Vanilli, you'll probably only get a quarter, because we have a ton of them. But if you bringin the new Guns N' Roses, you'll obviously get a lot more," Conner said. He also said the value for cashsales is about 20 percent lower than straight trade-in exchanges. Cellophane will buy or trade for anyCDs, tapes, or records that are in good condition, even those purchased through record clubs atdiscount prices. "Some stores don't buy them (record club items), but we do," Conner said. "There isno legal distinction (between record club and non-record club items). Conner said most stores will nottake record club items for trade because they are uneasy about the material the items might be made of. He said the main concern occurred when record clubs would mass produce albums by using cheapvinyl, but he said record club tapes and CDs are now made with the same quality materials as storebought tapes and CDs. To those looking to trade in their old music, Conner offers this advice: "Clean thedirt and stuff off your records and CDs before coming down here, because we don't have the time toclean them and if they are dirty, you will sometimes get less money (for your trade)." Cellophane Squarehas two coupons in Western's Big Blue Bonus Book, which are good for discounted purchases of usedCDs, records, or tapes. Both coupons expire at the end of this month, and neither may be used towardssale items or other discounts Photo by Steven Kennedy Cellophane Square employee, Ken Wick,organizes the records In the store.

The exhibit, "100 True Stories. Pleas and Thank Yous," is the effort of 60Seattle artists â€” a group impressive both in its size and expressed talent. The all-women groupproduced 100 paintings for this show, each on the same size sheet of tin. The two lines of flat, frameless paintings on three walls of the gallery look stark and incomplete from a distance: small rectangles ofcolor lined up uniformly on the white walls. As you get closer, however, you realize the impact of these paintings is revealed in a very expressive and intimate way. Once close enough, you 're drawn in by the magnitude of genius that can be expressed on such a small scale. Walking down the line of paintings,tacked modestly to the wall with pushpins, you become overwhelmed as each tiny piece of metal tellsits own very personal, very powerful story. Sarah Clark-Langager, the gallery director, saidcollaborations such as this one are a continuing theme in contemporary art "A collaborative work likethis is sort of like building a quilt," Clark-Langager said. "What (the artists) are saying is if you take away one of the artists, you're taking away an importantcontribution to the entire work." Traditional LatinAmerican images are used by some of the artists in "100 True Stories;" bright red hearts (the kindseen more in anatomy books than on Valentines) and stylized skeletons in some of the paintings invoke traditional sacred and secular Mexican images. Some artists use traditional techniques such asimprinting the tin with designs or spelling out words. The artists also make full use of the votivepainting tradition of combining text and images. The use of tin is itself a traditional element of votivepaintings. Clark-Langager said votive paintings are usually very expressive works. "It's a type ofexpression which traditionally displays a reference to an icon â€” some sort of religious figure," Clark-Langager said. She added that the works by the Seattle artists were not necessarily limited to anyspecific subject, religious or otherwise. Mostly, she said, the artists have reinterpreted the votivepaintingstyle with their own voices. Gene Gentry McMahon, one of the original eight who organized thecollaboration, has several pieces in the exhibit. Her essay describing her work reveals the very personalnature of this show. "My pieces are an affirmation of life," McMahon wrote, "made in both lightheartedremembrance of fleeting magic episodes, and in profound gratitude for peace following loss, and for joyfollowing sorrow." One of McMahon's works has a heart-shaped cut-out in the middle of the sheet of tin.A painted portrait â€” a tiny memorial bust â€” hangs by a red ribbon from the top of the heart.Embossed crudely above the heart is the word "Recuerdos," the Spanish word for remembrance. Manyof the artists wrote short explanations of their work. The collection of essays â€” the only writteninformation offered â€” is collected in a notebook and not posted near the paintings themselves. Some 100 True Stories. Pleas and Thank yous is on display at the Western Gallery through Nov. 2. artistschose not to add any verbal explanations; without titles or specific explanations, the flat, notebook-paper- size paintings are forced to speak on their own. The exhibit is one in a series of shows at theWestern Gallery focusing on the art and culture of Chicanos or Latin Americans. "100 True Stories"will be followed by a show featuring 11 Los Angeles artists beginning Nov. 11. Gallery hours are 10a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Dalton's and Waldenbooks? Then one of Bellingham's several used bookstoresmay be just the place for you. Whether your tastes run to Harlequin romances or Henry Miller, EastAsian folklore or biographies of Winston Churchill, chances are you '11 find what you're looking for in atleast one of these stores' eclectic collections of newer and out-of-print books. Arguably the Mecca ofBellingham's used bookstores is Michael's Books, 109 Grand Ave. For sheer shelf space and browsingroom, Michael's reigns supreme, offering over 100,000 used books. The atmosphere is cozy andcollegiate, and the overall selection is exhaustive. Here the intrepid bookshopper can while away manyan hour searching for whatever tickles his or her fancy, without being pestered by any nosy staff.Michael's boasts an impressive array of books on numerous subjects. Of particular note are the store'sscience fiction/fantasy and mystery sections, which take up a great deal of shelf space. Michael'sclassics room is also generously stocked. Like most used bookstores, Michael's pays cash or givescredit (for use only in their store) for books brought in for exchange. You can usually get a quarter to athird of a book's original cover price, depending on the condition, quality and rarity of the book. (Note:Michael's is fairly picky and won't take a title if it has a number of them already in stock.) Michael's isalso a good place to go if you're looking for inexpensive older editions or versions of certain textbooks.And, joy of joys, they even offer a 10 percent student discount if you show them your University Clubcard. As good as it is, however, Michael's is not perfect So many of their fiction hardbacks are set onhigh or top shelves that you must either constantly climb, descend, shove along, and climb again one oftheir foot-stools or suffer the consequences of a stiff neck from craning your head upward for too long ofa time. Also, their prices are on the high side for used books. (Good thing about that discount, huh?)Across the street from Michael's is its formidable rival, Henderson's Books. Although it is slightly smaller and usually less busy than its higher-profile neighbor, Henderson's carries just as large and diverse aselection (including many new books at reasonable prices), and (unlike Michael's) the books here arealways in good, often mint, condition. In many cases, Henderson's selection of tides ranks as themost complete in town. The atmosphere is a shade less convivial, butmany gems await the patientcollector, as well as the only- partially-interested browser. Henderson's, too, deals in used textbooksand pays cash for your books, but they are even more picky than Michael's as to what they will andwon't take. Prices are generally equivalent to Michael's, but reasonable, considering their books'areoften in pristine condition. Alas, Henderson's doesn'toffer any student discounts. Even thoughcomparisons be-tweenMichael's and Henderson's are unavoidable (and endless) due to their closeproximity and size, the best policy is to view them as complements of each other. Often, if one doesn'thave the particular title you're looking for, the other will. Besides the Big Two, other used bookstorescan be found scattered throughout the area. Fairhaven's Eclipse Books, 915 Harris Ave., offers amodest, but valuable selection of fiction and reference works in a small but sunny, well-lit andcharming store â€” definitely worth a look. Blackberry Books is currently closing its shop on CornwallAvenue, but its other branch is still open, although it's a bit out of the way on Cedarwood, offNorthwest. Though it now seems but a shade of its once respectable self, Blackberry's still rewards theoccasional visit with an exciting new find. Other paperback collections can be found in Bellingham BayCollectibles and the Granary. The latter is more noteworthy for its small, but fine Georgian library ofantique books than its random sampling of paperbacks, both of which are surrounded by numerousantique paintings and pieces of furniture. So remember, there is something for everyone in Bellingham'sused bookstores. You might not find many current best-sellers, but it's more than likely you'll go homewith a good read in your hands and without a big hole in your pocketbook.

CN ---------- Western Front - 1991 October 25 - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Western Front ACCENT October 25,1991 Live From the Pulpit By Dave Lambert suede columnist Ursus horribilis. Grizzly Bear. I think it got a bad rap with a scientific name like that. It sounds more like a bacteria that causes bad breath than an omnivorous mammal on the endangered species list. Notonly that, it is probably the most feared animal in North America due largely to bad press. From 1900 to 1985, grizzly bears were responsible for fewer than 200 injuries and fatalities. This is a relatively small number compared to the amount of human induced violence that takes place on any given day in thecrowded phallus city of New York. Hell, I would even wager that more than 200 police brutality suits arewon annually. On the other hand, over 77 grizzlies were killed in the Canadian province of Albertaalone from 1979 to 1988. These bears are being slaughtered outside the boundaries of provincial andnational parks by hunters and ranchers largely because Canada has no Endangered Species Act.According to bear biologists, grizzlies are leaving these parks because of increased pressuresresulting from petroleum and natural gas drilling. You see, for every drilling site, the Canadiangovernment builds approximately two-miles of road. Bears do not feel comfortable with roads. They split.Then they are gunned downby someone whosebrain is being starved of oxygen because of tightsuspenders. So why does Canada drill inside of their parks? That's the tough one. Because you and Ileave our friggin' lights on and drive automobiles the size of whales, that's why. We import about half ofCanada's natural gas and petroleum resources. But wait, the causal chain continues... Grizzlies don'tadorn themselves with tattoos of the American flag. They, unlike donkeys and elephants, are truly non-partisan, despite what California thinks. Unfortunately, many of the bears in Glacier National Park andthe surrounding National Forest lands in Montana are able to cross the narrow treelessswath markingthe border between us and Canada. Come to think of it, they probably don't even get strip searched bysmiling border officials. In fact, male grizzlies have a range of up to 4000 square kilometers in a givenyear, making it quite possible for one to travel from the southern most part of Glacier, well into thedanger zone of Alberta. This case is indicative that ecosystems, like bears, do not stop at borders. Butit seems that our culture values rarity: be it in art or cars, stamps or jewelry. Our economy is based on gold- araremetal. Our senate is based on ethics, rarely. And our aloneness, which we value greatly, is a rareness. Moreover, we associate rarity with a sort of reverence. Such reverence for the grizzly ismanifest in Gummi bears, Care bears, Teddy bears, and even the Chicago bears. We are content with the image of the ever elusive grizzly upon post cards and phone books. It is our way of comprehending something that we do not understand. But these images are merely surrogates for some realnesson all fours, feeding on elk. They are like urban landscapes sufficing for wilderness. Indeed, we havereached a point at which the image is in conflict with the beast. In the midst of our consumptive drivefor the image, we are losing sight of its source. And its source is disappearing justlike the light that weleft on in the bathroom this morning, making us both look more and more like dodos. Shanghai stringquartet brings warmth and feeling to PAC By Beth Matthews staff reporter Western's Performing ArtsCenter (PAC) welcomes the internationally celebrated Shanghai String Quartet at 8 p.m. Monday,Oct. 28. Originally forming in China in 1983, the Shanghai String Quartet has established an astonishing reputation as one of the leading chamber ensembles in the United States.

Other reputable critiques have also praisedthe Quartet's ability to weave fire and emotion into their music. "These musicians play with warmth andintense feeling, yet with such clarity and dead-center intonation that you can hear every note andsavor every combination of tone and texture. ...The performance went from strength to strength,"â€”Richmond Times-Dispatch.

For many students it's one or the other. For juniors Mike Dunford and Mike Wagner it had to be both, and Western provided the perfect atmosphere to accomplish just that. ForDunford and Wagner, former classmates at St. Monica's High School outside of Los Angeles, the perfect college was one where they Photo by Steven Kennedy Betty Haskell christens the Jimmy H with somelake water. She and F. Murray "fled" Haskell donated $10,000 to Western, $7,000 of which was used topurchase the four-oared racing shell. "Red" Haskell is the Chief Executive officer of the HaskellCorporation, and rowed for two years at the University of Washington in the 1940s. In addition, "Red"Haskell donated $10,000 in 1969 which paid for Western's first shells, and made the crew programpossible. The Jimmy H. is named after his late son. Mike Wagner would have an opportunity to playfootball while maintaining academics. Western turned out to be that school. "There's a lot of emphasis on academics, which is important," Dunford said. "One of the first things Coach (Rob) Smith said to uswhen we got here is that you're a student-athlete, and in that order." "I wanted to play football and getan education," Wagner continued. "At big schools they care if you're eligible. Here they care if you getyour degree. Everything Western offered was right; education, football, location." It wasn't until aformer high school coach made the move to Western that Dunford and Wagner considered theuniversity as an option. Andre Patterson, referred to as Coach P. by Dunford and Wagner, originallycoached at Renton High School with Smith. Patterson then took the head coaching job at St. Monica'sduring their junior year. "Me and Mike got real close to Coach P. for various reasons," Wagner said. "Hestuck his neck out for us, he really did. If anything went wrong at school, me and Mike were in the office. Coach P. kept us on track." "Coach P. was a player's coach and a coach's coach. He knew how torelate to players," Dunford added. Patterson left St. Monica's after one year and moved on to WeberState University. Smith, who then got the head job at Western, contacted Patterson who agreed to come and coach at Western. It was at that time, after receiving letters from Patterson, Dunford and Wagner learned about Western. But it took a serious meeting between the two to arrive at the decision to attend Western. "We got kicked outta class together," Wagner said. "We had a business class in highschool our senior year and got tossed out for throwin' eraser bits. We just went out and started talkin'about where we wanted to go to college." For Wagner, Western wasn't the only option. "My junior year I thought I'd end up going to a junior college, but my senior year, colleges started getting in touch withme," Wagner said. "Some Division I schools talked to me, but they were leery because of my size." "Alot of coaches told me that when you get into college, football becomes a business," Wagnercontinued. "At least now we're havin' fun. I enjoy the team I'm on and I enjoy being here." Eventhoughbothlike the school, the distance from home, friends and family often occupies their thoughts. "Itwears and tears," Wagner New marketing scheme for athletics to draw fans By Rob Gwinn staff reporter Every team player should know their role. The new director of marketing and promotions for Vikingathletics, Kevin Bryant, knows exactly what his role is. "My job is to get the word out and get thecommunity involved in our (sports) programs," Bryant said. "(We) want to do different things to attractmore people to the games." Bryant, a former men's assistant basketball coach at Western, hascommitted himself full-time to the marketing and promoting of Western's athletics. His objectives areclear-cut: Put people in the seats and raise money for the Athletic de-partment and its programs. Withthe restructuring of Western's budget, certain departments will be asked to fully utilize their abilitiesto raise additional funds for their programs. The ones who are able raise the most money outside theUniversity will have their budgets cut back the most. "(For example), the biology department doesnot have the ability to make outside dollars, (unlike) the athletic department, the Performing Artsdepartment, and the Housing and Dining department," Bryant said. The Marketing and Promotionsdepartment has already launched an aggressive marketing campaign aimed at local business support ofViking athletic programs, with another aimed at filling the stands. "The key is making (every game) anevent," Bryant said. He understands the need for his marketing programs to succeed, as 40 percent ofthe Athletic Department's budget coming directly off of gate receipts and marketing. Bryant also said 30percent of the department's budget comes from student fees, with the final 30 percent from state funds.Already Bryant has his marketing efforts succeeding. This season every home football game has had atheme, such as Senior Citizens Night, the Homecoming Game and the final home game was billed asParent's Day, with all of the games having pleasing attendance figures. There is also this year's halftimefield goal-kicking contest, with the winner of the finals receiving a trip for two to Reno, Nev. Bryant hopesto continue the "event theme" success into the men's and women's basketball season. "The(basketball) games will be much more enjoyable than in the past," he said. "The bottom line is to getpeople in the seats." Bryant plans to have various local businesses sponsor a halftime three-pointshooting contest, and expects to see a more exciting cheerleading squad, who will be doing morecheering and less dancing. The dancing may be handled by Bryant's bringing back the popular dancegroups that performed at various games last year. Bryant has also been talking with the AssociatedStudents Special Events department about several ideas for increasing the basketball attendance.Although no details have been worked out, Bryant discussed the possibilities of a reduced admission toa post-game event with a game ticket, withtheevents being anywhere from a comic performance toJumbalassy, for example. Bryant is also working with TCI Cablevision in an attempt to bring a WesternGame of the Week to local television. TCI is currently showing Viking Sports Talk, a half-hour showhosted by Bryant, along with head men's basketball coach Brad Jackson, from5:30 to6p.m. everyTuesday evening on TCI Channel 10. said. "I hated leavin' my mom 'cause she's my sweetheart" "It'stough going away from home," Dunford continued. "There's no one to tie your shoes, you gotta take onall new responsibility." "There's times whenl just warma say forget it, pack up and go home. Primarilybecause we're far from home, but sometimes I just get tired of the grind," Wagner added. Regardless,both admit to culture shock after coming to Bellingham, but neither regret coming. However, homeis home and Mike Dunford both plan to return to Los Angeles after college. Dunford described thedifferences between Bellingham and Los Angeles like this: "It's like you can take a boy outta the city,but you can't take the city outta the boy â€” It's stuck. For example, if it was a car, in L.A. 65 (mph)would be the fast life. Then I pull into Bellingham, I gotta slam shift into second, grind my gears, twisteverything up and go about 30. It ain't bad, it just takes a little getting use to," Dunford concluded.Excercise your right to vote Briefs Compiled by Sports Information Office Shane^ VoDanann and Kris)Utde^e|i^ :'m^;:'andgt;:if^Bl^:^J^tes.'bf the Vott^arafc ^safety andplace kiclcer, blocked a fieldL goal anda PjVrmtheVikmg^ J^getSlt;^di^ ^ n national^ had remrnsof 83 and 50 yards to raisehis average to36.8 yardsiper return.;': 'â€¢:y^Mm^;':;0: Little; a isoph^hiore setter, was named to the afl-to^ tearri atithe IP^get Sotmd Jnvijta- â€¢tiohal^ second p l a c e ^ t e t p n a m e n t, winning four of fiyematches.Twoof the wins were oyer-:district leading Central; the loss /was to Portlandi State University; which isrankedmirdgt; nauohally, in the Kevin Bryant ---------- Western Front - 1991 October 25 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINIONS October 25,1991 Mpir~~ - ^ ^ N M M J ^ J J tepojj COM* iw ^uvnMeVoo iOi*rr, gar -rfcucu/j ueuecLveW j IIC-J.â€”â€¢â€”'â€žn''Ai/'^u,,o YOOt Â«-TnLto.,/-_Lrirr- -~7Â«w4vlt;s?mofvÂ«5Dr) --nmarlt;cez *z.*joâ€¢lt;z*e -inw?v ,u.)JlAi^jreor gt;T Z-rgt;e.s .â€¢" Thetrue meaning of death By Clayton Wright staff reporter Death â€” a term so commonly used that its true meaning is practically defunct. A noun substituted frequently to describe the termination of anythingformerly in existence. But the true, undefined meaning of death prevails only to those who understand. Idon't understand. But last week I became painfully aware of its presence, I've never even seen death, but I know it lingers. My life is unmarred when it comes to such personal tragedy, butl now realize how deathcan clutter a clear conscience. Last Sunday my mom called, her wavering voice signaling panic, to tellme my dad was in the hospital with amysterious illness. The symptoms were rare and extensive, theprognosis undetermined. Our highly developed, highly technological medical institution poked andprobed, but were unable to come up with an accurate diagnosis of the problem. For a few brief moments,as I clutched the phone, I incurred a mental lapse. My usually clear thought and instinctive dialogue were lost. I felt fear. True fear. My grasp on the receiver turned my knuckles white. I stood motionless, stunned by the turn of events, paralyzed by fear. A force of fear I can not remember ever experiencing. As mycognitive abilities returned, I thought about death. For one shortmoment, I saw death. So personified, such immediacy. My dad is now home recovering; weak and aggravated, but recovering. My temporary fear of death has faded. I managed to elude its plague. But I know it's there. And the next time I use theword, I'll think about what it really means. Barbecues and bake sales: The revitalization of the CIA ByJohnny Herber staff reporter The White House has rats. This isn't really startling news to most. I'm suremany of us remember the story last year of how Barbara Bush came face to face with a rat while taking adip in the White House swimming pool. The unfortunate animal was promptly drowned by PresidentBush; sort of his "Zero Tolerance" policy for rats. In fact, William Seale's history of the mansion, "ThePresident's House," dates the rodent problem back to 1809. It also talks about how in the 1860's,President Andrew Johnson's daughter proclaimed a "War on Rats." But while she spared no expense forall manner of traps and legions of cats, she was unsuccessful in solving the problem. Part of herfailure might have been due to the fact that President Johnson was in the habit of leaving flour and waterout atnight in case any of the rats got hungry. That's like the contemporary "War on Drugs." This time the CIA was in the habit of leaving little dishes of money out at night in case any rats like Manuel Noriegagot hungry. What possessed them to do that? I mean, Noriega, isn't exactly one of those dancing micefrom "Cinderella." Did they really think of him as a cuddly little pet? I have to wonder why, in the midst of an arms race with the Soviet Union, the CIA had nothing better to do than to play "Let's Make A Deal"with drug lords? What scares me is the thought of the kinds of mischief they'll get themselves into nowthat they'll have more time on their hands. Obviously, they need something else to do to keep them out of trouble. One option is that there's always work for them in the 12 new Soviet republics. Given theagency's penchant for peddling U.S. influence around the globe, all they'll have to do to make inroadsinto the new Soviet governments is to change the image of the average CIA agent from the cloak anddagger persona of the past into a new type of agent who merely wants to make friends, maybe throw abarbecue: kind of a used car salesman with a shoulder holster. But there's only 12 republics. Only a partof the agency can be kept busy over there. Of course the CIA also has their ongoing operations in LatinAmerica to keep them occupied, but in reality, the only threat south of our border is that Mexican potatogrowers may begin outselling U.S. potato growers. All that the CIA would have to do in that case is to airdrop a bunch of agency Mr. Potatohead's armed with portable Cuisinart's(and disguised in littlesunglasses and sombreros) into Mexican potato fields and the problem would be solved. So again, whatwill we do with the rest of the CIA? We can't really fire them. After almost a half a century of fighting theforces of Communism, giving out pink slips might be enough to cause agency ideologists tospontaneously combust. Ironically, the new Soviet "spymaster", Yevgeny Primakov, has another solution. He feels that U.S. and Soviet Intelligence should team up in the battle againstdrug trafficking andinternational terrorism. While I do commend Mr. Primakov for the thought, I also think that his Glasnosticvision is a little short sighted. We need to first look at how our traditional methods of "rat catching" havefailed to work in the past before we waste further energy on them. It seems a simple enough solution, just kill the rats and the problem should go away. But every time we do, more rats come along to replacethem. Anyone who knows about rats will tell you that if there are rats in your house and you want themout, clean up your house. If the rats have nothing to feed on, they will either die or go away. At the worstthey'll get desperate and careless, eventually setting themselves up to be caught by a skilled rat catcher. It works the same way with our drug problem. Our problem isn't the international drug cartels. They arerun by rats; they are run by survivors. As long as there is a market, see Rats, com. on pg. 15 Iffllllffii Allwomen were victims in Thomas' hearings A dangerous precedent has been set in American society. Inthe aftermath of the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings, the efforts of the thousands of women who have been fighting for years for recognition of sexual harassment have been virtually erased. An article in Thursday's Seattle Times regarding a Senate subcommittee on discrimination and harassment in theworkplace states that three women who were scheduled to appear decided not to show up. According tothe article, the women decided that to appear before the committee would put their careers in jeopardy.They made this decision after watching the Judiciary Committee tear apart the credibility of Thomas'accuser, Anita Hill. Two members of yesterday's subcommittee, including the chairman, were on theJudiciary Committee. The reactions of the three women is unsettling. It shows that they do not have faithin their government to treat their concerns fairly or compassionately. The "glass ceiling" which has keptwomen from moving up to high positions in our society has once again been slammed down on thefingers of women everywhere. The results of the Thomas hearing are not the issue. It's how the wholesituation was handled that has sent women's rights back 15 years. Rather than taking a serious look atthe allegations, Republicans (and some Democrats) on the Judiciary Committee jumped on the Bushbandwagon and began attacking Hill, claiming she was fantasizing the allegations, or that she was "ascorned woman."Bush's campaign to discredit his nominee's accuser will have dangerous meaning in asociety already insensitive to women's issues. The power-hungry men in society received governmentendorsement to continue trying to dominate women in the workplace. They can now follow the example oftheir President and trash the reputation of any woman who dares to bring forward charges of harassmentor discrimination. Such women can be labeled as opportunists or fantasizers. And the "glass ceiling" willslam down even harder. Editor, Steve McClure; Managing Editor, AlexandraM.

Rape and all forms of sexual assault are most definitely a real and powerful concern for students on campus. Unfortunately, rape is also vastly unreported, which accounts for the fact that University Policelacks concrete statistics as to what the prevalence of sexual assault is on our campus. Rape is a crimeof violence, both physical and emotional. Verbal threats and coercion can be just as frightening andforceful as physical threats and bodily harm. Physical bruises are not always necessary to createemotional scars. Whenever a sexual situation lacks actual words or conduct indicating freely givenconsent for sexual activity on the part of all persons involved, a sexual assault is occurring. It is estimated that one out of six college women will be sexually assaulted this year. The idea of rape conjures upimages of a woman being drug by her hair into a dark alley by an unknown assailant in adark hat andtrenchcoaL The unnerving truth is that roughly 85 percent of rape or attempted rape victims knew theirassailant, and that not all rape victims are women. But what can one person do to change the odds ofsexual assault from happening? Actually, there is a plethora of preventative measures that protectstudents from becoming statistics. Follow security measures. Do not prop residence hall doors open.Always walk with a friend after dark, or call Security at 676-3555 for an escort. Lock your doors. Be strong and assertive. Educate yourself and others about sexual violence. Carry mace, keys, a rolling pin, orother possible weapon when going out. Learn self-defense. Name rapists everywhere. Leave abusiverelationships. Do not be accommodating. Volunteer at Whatcom County Crisis Center (671-5714 or 384-3748) or Womencare Shelter for Battered Women (734-3438 or 671-8539). Be aware of the fact thatover 90 percent of date and acquaintance rapes involve the use of alcohol. Walk tall, be proud, and takecharge of situations. Demand justice for rape, murder and battering crimes. Dial 911 and report crimes.Publicize your anger. Take care of yourself, and be a healer. Learn to say "NO". It can take months oryears to heal from the trauma of a sexual assault. If you have been assaulted, get help. Contact theSexual Awareness Center (VU 214/647-6117), the Counseling Center (MH 262/676-3164), HealthServices (High Street Hall 25/676- 3400), VP for Student Affairs/Student Life (OM 390/676-3846),Whatcom County Crisis Center (734-7271/384-1485,24-hours), University Police (676-3555), orBellingham Police (911). Do not try to deal with the problem on your own. Seek the support you need and deserve.Rape is a terrible violation of one's sense of security and self-worth, but it is a wound from which one canheal. Sincerely, Michelle Hull Robyn Rogers Sexual Awareness Center Clarification It has come to the attention of The Western Front editors that headlines used on the letters page (Oct. 18 and Oct 22)regarding Initiative 120 have caused some confusion. By referring to the first letter, by Mark Ellis, asreader opinion and the second letter, by Amy Willis and Deidre Washburn, as facts about Initiative 120,The Front has appeared to have take a position on this issue. The Front strives to maintain objectivity inbringing issues to its readers. The headlines were taken from comments made within the lettersthemselves and are not a statement of the validity of one point of view over another. The Front apologizesfor any misconception. Rats, com. from pg. 15 they or someone like them will find a way to sell theirpoison. The true battlefield in a war on drugs is at home. Thus there is a better role that the CentralIntelligence Agency can take for our country: the promotion of intelligence in our country. Agentscould become teacher aides, tutors and counselors, putting their information gathering skills to positiveuse. They could help care for our nation's elderly, work in hospitals and create community centers whereour youth can safely play. They wouldn't and shouldn't solve our country's problems, but they couldhelp us along by becoming a kinder, gentler CIA. Why not? It's better than them getting tangled up in the strings of their own puppet dictators. Why not? They've got budget money allocated to them already andwe could u the help. Why not? It's a way for them to help our country to finally rid itself of all these rats: a "Zero Tolerance" policy for ignorance. What is it you're saying? That type of innovation would betotally beyond reason to leaders like President Bush and Robert Gates? There are just too manyobstacles for this plan to overcome? Rats? Letters Policy the editor.

Tensions Mount As Finals Week If ears College To Gel Station In 1964 If all goes well,Western and the Bellingham area may have an educational television station by the summer of 1964.The college is asking the state legislature to grant $56,500 for a studio, .transmitter, and equip-rrjent.Additional support is expected in matching funds from the federal government. This would be grantedunder the Mag-nuson- Robert Educational Television Bill signed by the President May 1. ,Bellingham's television station, KVbS, has eased the budget by offering $2,500 worth of labor and otheraid to complete the transmitter and the use of a transmitter support on Orcas Island's Mt.Constitution. If the governor shows favor to the appropriations in his address to the Legislature inJanuary, the proposal will be handed to the state television commission. Provided the plans areaccepted there, they will then revert back to the legislature for consideration of a state-wideeducational television network. It is believed that Western is the only applicant in Northwest Washington. "A full program schedule is being outlined, including plays special events, telecourses, children'sprograms and general adult programs. Part of the programs will originate at Western with films and.live shows, and provisional plans call for hookup with â€¢ the' University of Washington's "Channel 9(KCTS) for daytime and evening shows. Two hours a day will be provided by tlie National EducationalTelevision and Radio Center in Washington. ' Inquiry -has-been made about obtaining the ultra highfrequency Channel 18. Tensions mount on Western's campus as hundreds of students settle down fornext week's bath of fire, ignited through the courtesy of professors, fanned with the madness of finals,and sustained with the fuel of midnight oil. Three Collegian reporters set out this week to learn justhow Westernites feel about this perennial malady called finals week. As expected, everyone/hadsomething to say. Dave Benseler declared, "Finals are ridiculous. Professors should give enoughtests during the quarter to evaluate students." On the other hand, government major Don Holert thinksthey are "a necessary evil," but wishes we didn' t have them. Jan Tebelman, elementary educationmajor, is of the opinion that "Finals are somewhat better than a lot of busy work!-" Maxine, Lightburn,junior, put it a bit more strjangiy. ^'Finals are horrible,'' she said gt;!' 'They make the . week ^Sveryhectic," Ray Burke seem^ lt;i: to agree commenting that i gt;ec. 11 '|hrough v 14 are the dark days:of the fall quarter. .,, - i ^-1 -Linda Crews felt there is too much emphasis on fact and not enough onconcepts. "I don't think fimm grades are necessary, anyway!" she exclaimed. Bill Paulson thinks thereis much emphasis on grades and the final, "If a student does well in a class for most of the quarter andthen messes up the final he may flunk the course." Paulson suggests it would be better to use manytests, supplemented with committee work and projects to base class evaluation on. He believes thiswould create a "feeling of activity, not passivity" in students. "Although our finals are bad," Paulsonreasoned, "they are not as bad as some European school testing programs where students take onelong test after four years of study." A typical reaction was expressed by foreign languageelementary education major, Dick Hedges. "I'm getting used to finals by now," he said, "But I'll reallybe glad when they're over." He then excused himself to attend his final history seminar at Shakey's!Students are not alone in their frustrations of finals. Dr. Herbert Taylor thinks final week is a situationof "sheer hysteria, although perfectly normal," for both faculty and students. "No one I know is satisfiedwith the present situation," he said, "but no one has come up with an adequate substitute." Dr. EdwardNeuzil of the Chemistry Department described finals as "an enormous barrier between the firstpart of the quarter and vacation. "I don't believe in finals," he said. "They don't serve their purpose.Ten micro-seconds after a student has walked out he has forgotten 80 per cent of what he learned. "The main trouble is that people are not learning for knowledge's sake," Neuzil emphasized. "They aretrying to get a union card." Finals week presents a unique set of circumstances for the coffee shop."It is deader than heck during test periods but between tests it is packed," explained Charles Blair,coffee shop manager. "Coffee sales rise spectacularly," he added. "We go through five gallons morecoffee per day." Not everyone is dreading finals, though. D. Maconoghie, the campus marshal, islooking forward to them. "My problems all disappear during finals week," he said jubilantly. "Thereare no campus activities that draw a large group of students. Everybody is burning the midnight oil."Constantine Franks, local Hamburger impresario, also viewed finals week with pleasant anticipation. "Our business goes up quite a bit," he commented. "Cigarette sales just about double, especially togirls." NSF Awards Western $104,600 In Grants By Ernie Smith The National Science Foundationhas awarded Western a grant totaling $104,600 for the financing of a mathematics and physicssummer institute for secondary school teachers. "The: total grant for the Physics Department is$43,600, a major portion of which represents subsistence allowances for the participants, 30 innumber," Dr. Raymond McLeod, summer institute director, said in a recent interview. Dr. SheldonRio, mathematics summer institute director, said also in. a recent interview that the MathematicsDepartment has mathematics participate. teachers who will OBJECTIVES The prime objective of bothsummer programs is to enchance the quality of instruction and to improve subject matter preparationof secondary school teachers who are currently engaged in physics or mathematics teaching. "This is the first physics in? stitute of this kind," commented McLeod. Rio noted that this was thfc thirdsummer the general NSF program had been in operation.

Kuder, dean of students. "The test will be held during the thirdweek of winter quarter on Thursday, January 17 and Saturday January 19. The dates for spring quarterwill be Thursday, April 18 and Saturday, April 20." he said. Dr. Kuder cited one reason for the change, "this action was done to give the department of English a more reasonable span of time in which toevaluate the increasingly large number of tests." The chairman of the English dpeartment, Dr. E. R.Clapp said, "readings were almost impossible, especially this quarter with the Thanksgiving weekend.It created a real problem. Now that there will be a longer time in which to read them, a better job canbe done." Dr. Clapp urged students to take the test as soon as they are eligible. "Students may take ittheir fifth quarter at Western if they have successfully passed both English 100 and English 101 at thisschool." "If the students wait, they will only create more problems," he emphasized. STUDENT HOWIECLARK relaxes as he studies for next week's final exams. OFFERED EACH QUARTER The EnglishCompetency Test is a test offered each quarter. It is a two part test consisting of a dictation-spelling part and a written essay. A student must pass the entire test before he may take his first studentteaching course, according to the college catalogue. However, accord ing to Dr. Bearnice Skeen,coord inator of student teaching, there are a few exceptions for students planning to graduate in spring or summer, 1963. Students planning to graduate then, who have not passed the English CompetencyTest, are urged to contact her for details concerning this exception. Miss Leslie Hunt of the Englishdepartment said, "this test is not something that the English department dreamed up, but is intended as a screen to weed out poor writers and spellers before they enter student teaching." Dr. â€¢ Skeen said,"the English Competency Test is a device to get good qualified teachers." "The English CompetencyTest is a college test that is not only a test of spelling, but a test of students' abilities in grammar,reading, writing and thinking," Dr. Clapp concluded. ious study in either mathematics or physics. Thereare no restrictions on who may apply or where they are now teaching except they must be teaching in the United States. COURSES AND STAFF "Courses in physics will include upper division courses inmechanics, electricity and magnetism, atomic physics, history of physics, and projects andseminars, including discussions of physics curricula and materials for secondary schools," McLeodemphasized, f Dr. Arnold Lahti and Dr. Richard Lindsey will assist McLeod in the physics program. The mathematics summer institute will offer courses in logic and sets, point set theory, geometry,number theory, and a curriculum seminar. The staff will include Dr. William Abel, Dr. JamesMcFarland, Dr. Sheldon Rio, all of Western. Dr. Ralph James of the University of British Columbia willalso be on hand for the program. Both directors said that credit gained by completion of the coursesoffered could be forwarded toward a masters degree. Both institutes will be held during the regularsummer session next year. Dr. Hoshisaki To Participate In Math Meeting Dr. Joseph Hashisaki,chairman of Western's Mathematics Department, will travel to San Francisco Dec. 10 and 11 toattend the regional conference of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics.Hashisaki will participate in a panel discussion, "Teacher Education at the Elementary Level." Theconference will be concerned with implementing the recommendations of the CUPM and theMathematical Association of America for the training of teachers at the elementary and junior highschool levels.

He successfully fought it off iwith : his trusty Eveready. flashlight,according to the campus marshal, D. 0. Maconoghie, head of. the security patrol. Student SecurityPatrolman Charles Choate confirmed the fact ..that there are bats in the attic, viewed each night bysecurity patrolmen when they make their nightly inspections. Remember . . .

Thecombined forces now boast 12 students. "Before the security patrol there was a lone night watchmanwho inspected the buildings for fire only. The present security patrol, however, keeps, a wary eye outfor more than just fires," Maconoghie noted. The marshal called the security patrol a "unique all-studentorganization ;'' unique because they don't carry guns or clubs. "It would breed antagonism towardthe patrol from students and faculty members, the patrol might think with their weapons instead of theirheads," the marshal said. "Another reason for not allowing weapons is that a peaceful man's latentsadistic urges often come forth when he has a gun, as I have observed in several instances while in theU. S. Navy." Traffic Patrolman Larry Harn-den commented on the purposes of traffic control. "We areconcerned with service to the students, faculty, and guests. We keep traffic moving, driveways andfirelanes open for emergencies and give information." Harnden concluded with, "We are for thestudents, not against them and will give them the benefit of the doubt." The purpose of the campus cops was explained by Traffic Patrolman Chuck Dalton.

Bach's motet: "Jesu, Priceless Treasure," will be the selection highlighted, bythe group. David B. Schaub, organist, will open the program with Daquin's prelude "Noel." The collegechoir follows with Williams' "He Whom Joyous Shepherds Watched," Lockwood's "A Lullaby forChristmas," Ward's "That Wondrous Night of Christmas Eve" and Davis' "Carol of the Drum." SoloistJames Calhoon will be featured with the Western State-men in Work's "Go Tell It On The Mountain." The group will also sing Palestrina's "O Bone Jesu" and De Paur's "Oh, Po' Little Jesus." From Handel's"Messiah," Martin Campbell, bass, will sing the recitative: "For Behold, Darkness Shall Cover the Earth" and the aria: "The People That Walked in Darkness." David Schaub will accompany him on the organ.The coed chorus will do Wil-lan's "Glory To God in the Highest," ,Di_Lasso's "Adoramus te Christe"and ''Ding Dong, Merrily On High," a French carol arranged by Barthelson. Tansman's. variations ona theme by Girolamo Frescobaldi will be played by the college chamber 'orchestra. Concluding theprogram will be the chorale and choir in Schreck's advent motet: "Entrance Scene." "The patrol is tomake sure the campus is secure and quiet after normal working hours." One requirement for patrolmenis that they be married. The patrol checks for fires in various areas where hot plates or irons may haveaccidentally been left on. They were credited with saving part of Old Main last spring when a fire brokeout in the old honors room. Maconoghie explained that there is at least one fire drill each quarter ineach building on campus to check the speed of exit of building occupants and to see if all equipment isworking properly. One of the problems cleared up recently was that of the exit signs in the Ridgewaydormitories. They were changed because some of the directions led people out onto the balconies where escape was impossible. "All doors of all campus buildings are rattled at least three times eachnight," Choate said, "but not at the same time each night. This is to help curb any dishonesty that might occur. A lock keeps out ari honest man." Choate concluded that "The security patrol isn't here to'get*! anyone, but. to m a k e everyone's stay here as . pleasant as possible." Past campus capersthat were interesting, h u m o r o u s, and unique, encountered by the security and traffic patrols,included the appearance of a real stuffed seal in the Rain Forest, bats and rats in Eden's Hall andOld Main's attic, spooky creaks, rattles and mysterious footsteps in Old Main caused by wind, raiii,and perhaps a stow-away illegally in the building after hours. An actual outhouse and marble, slabsdraped with a fish net were set up in front of Old Main; class bells were found ringing all night in theHumanities Building; the door of the Library was blocked by a pile of bricks; a beer sign in front ofHaggard Hall stating "It takes good science to make good beer"; a simulated ladder to the second floorof Higginson Hall with a man's clothes hung from the bottom to the top; a real skeleton relocated fromthe PE Building to a nearby field; and a rumor that said that there were nude swimming parties inWestern's pool several years ago are a few such capers.

Even theViking Union lounge has taken on the look of a miniature Macy's â€”-and any day we expect to see theentire city of Bellinghani come rushing in the doors to buy the cute little toothpicks and anythingelse that might be lying about. I As Christianity in the United States jibecomes more and moremeaningless, 'Christmas becomes less and less Christinas and will soon be only a day on the -jcalendar for which people buy gifts for 'others in anticipation of greater gifts | n return. ji The whole ideabecomes even more - ^ridiculous when one stops to think .that t h e concept of Christ has been reduced?to a fat man with a white beard and jan evergreen tree with garbage on itâ€” ^neither of which have anybearing on: 4he fact that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of one of history's greatest prophets. And if any birth relating to Christianity should be celebrated it should be ithe birth of Saint Paul, thatletter-jwriting idiot who did everything i n i i is [power to see that the Christian religion jnever had arational or even spiritual Ibasis-â€”and succeeded. r- But the celebration (and it really is a ;celebration, ifone can believe t h e Car-ling's beer ds) does serve a useful purpose, besides that of making storeowners richer. The birth and death of Christ are the only two things that are holding the Christianreligion, at least in the United States, together. If it weren't for the emotionalism involved in these yearlyevents that draws the "backsliders" into the chapel, humans would probably immediately revert to their basic amoral ways. One might even develop the idea that Christmas is actually anti-Christian. If we areto believe that one of the bases for all this nonsense about giving everybody and the family dogpresents is that Christ was big on the idea that it is better to give, etc., we can look about and see thateveryone seems to be taking. Kids want long lists of things from "Sahta?' (and usually get them),college students want typewriters or sports cars (and often get them), and mommy is terriblydisappointed if she doesn't get a mink coat or a n e w house. And whoever buys all these things neverseems to buy them i with the feeling that he is actually being grand and giving something, but that he isobligated to keep peace in the family. And Christmas cards are another seasonal absurdity. We getfancy, expensive greetings from people we haven't seen for years and care little if we see again. Buteveryone is still taken in by the great evergreen facade. We see students in the lounge with bowed heads and sincere'humility gazing at all that Yule-tide splendor â€” wondering what their mommies anddaddies will give them. â€”Bill Burke. fPrdblom Of Dictatorship liJPar gtiay Revealed Statementtranslated by Collegiate press service. "The Federacion Universitaria de Paraguay has the honor oftak-the floor to express the solidarity of Paraguayan students with all the students of the world who aremaking their student life a bulwark against oppression and social injustice. "The struggle in whichParaguayan students have; been engaged for a long time against one of the most cruel, dictatorships in the history of the American people is well known by all; the government of Paraguay, in the hands of General Alfredo Stroes-sner; has established a typical ^Latift American Creole dictator- Ship.~ "For 19. years the country has lived ; in a state of emergency; there does not exist a single politicalparty jn Paraguay, neither is there a student-center nor the University Federation, which 'could make use of the media of â€¢broadcasting; papers, magazines or radio; the foreign-press agencies aresubjected to severe govls ernmental control. The*- regime1 combats all opposition which rises againstthe arbitrary measures which it imposes with a perfectly contrived police force, with the most vigilantmeans of repression and with professional torture. Accompanying this situation of terror there isunfolded the most dramatic social and economic situation in which the- Paraguayan people live. "Themost eloquent sign of the state of affairs in Paraguay is the fact that there are more and moreinternational organizations offering food and clothing to the people of Paraguay; in -this aspect,international aid in 1960 reached the sum of U. S. $1,500,- 003. with which one could only remedy theproblemâ€”but not solve it. "Besides this, a grave problem farms to search for a better life outside thecountry. "But what is most dramatic is that the Paraguayan government is unmoved by this tragedy, and does absolutely nothing to make citizens stay in the country. "All this situation is accompanied bytremendous administrative corruption, a veritable military caste having been formed, enjoying all theprivileges denied the ordinary people: "In the international field, neither the Organization of AmericanStates nor the United States has done anything to alleviate the situation at all; on the contrary, ourdictator is constantly receiving visits from presidents of other nations who call themcelves democratic.The U. S., just as Argentina and Brazil, maintains military missions in Paraguay, is_the massive exodus of Para*- j which give assistance to the Par guayan citizens, to the neighbor-! aguayan military,especially in ing countries of Brazil and Argen-1 their fight against the guerillas tina^ Hundreds ofParaguayans j who are the heroic vanguard of daily abandon their homes and the liberation of ourfatherland. "Certainly the situation of the universities is no different from the general situation of thecountry. The university is subject to a rector who is directly under the control of the government. Ananachronistic and arbitrary set of statutes concerning the university has been imposed by thegovernment. The result is inadequate offices, ill-paid staff, and an annual budget insufficient to coverminimal expenses. This is briefly the typical pattern of our universities, but in the midst of this theParaguayan students, the FUP, despite the most violent repression, persecution, banishment andprison, does not cease its active struggle against the dictatorial regime. "And it's here that we say thatit is the hope of the Federacion Universitaria de Paraguay that all the students of the world willunderstand our problem and give encouragement to the student of Paraguay in this so unequal andheroic struggle which has ensued Bv Dick Simmons A rumor has filtered out of the Biology Departmentthat 3,000 vicious green Himalayan termites have escaped from one of the labs and are presentlychewing Old Mange to bits.

Actually that wasn't really what I'm referring to. What happened wascompletely irrelevant. I was at this rollicking, frolicsome, huge Bacchanalian orgy on this great big raftout in the middle of Lake Whatcom. This may seem rather hard to believe, i.e. the fact that anyone would throw an orgy oh a raft in the middle of Lake Whatcom, and with risible sensitivities I find myselfchuckling a bit as I realize that my own thinking is in accord with your views, but it's true! â€” Skoff ..â€¢'. ., Well anyway this party was being held in honor of everybody who had flunked out this quarterbefore the quarter was over. We were all chanting our fight song to a beautiful Gregorian melody: "Fight!Fight! Fight! for Ditchdigger High"â€”It made us feel good. There was this girl at the party named GrettaFunge, a buxom lass full of vinegar and viiupretive humorsâ€”well anyway, Gretta had a big love bite thathad caused her to go completely bald at the tender age of 18. But that also is irreverent. Just as theparty-was reaching the acme of equalitarian discrepancies, I suddenly remembered that I had forgottenmy gold plated tie tack with the picture of Eleanor Roosevelt riding a donkey and telling the women of the world how to be better women, given to me by that grand old man of washroom maintenance, HermanFlush, in the Collegian office. So I threw Gretta in the lake, raced, to shore, jumped in my car, streakedup to the College, slammed into the garbage truck parked behind the coffee shop, ran down the backsteps to the office, tore open the door, flicked on the lights, and suddenly there were these two beautifulgirls sitting there looking rather surprised, and not knowing what to say. (Now wasn't that a heck of a way to tell you about these two gir|s that were sitting in the dark down in the Collegian office last Saturdaynight?) yeah. . : '?-* lt;â€¢'â€¢ Anyway I didn't want them to become violent so I casually said: "Hi there, how are you. Sure is a.; nice office here in the dark, ha ha." ^ They started to sputter and giggle, as girls are accustomed to do, and so of course I ran back out the door because I think that the more blondeone was carrying a switchblade in her motorcycle boot.

The role of the campus newspaper, -informing the community and serving a function ofintellectual leadership, is particularly noteworthy. Student government also has a vital rqle^o play in,educating students .for participation in politics, as well as in representing student opinion arid'administering phases of the college-program. These roles of press and government are essentiallycomplementary, not'. antipathetic., it would be unfortunate ifthe press should see its role towardstudent government as primarily negative arid destructive; equally unfortunate "would be thesubjectionof student leaders td_ unfair attack by the pressj perhaps,, tending to discourage; futurecandidacies for these leadership-positiohs/' News media today are widely recognized as, having anobligation to separate editorial opinion from news "columns/ and to report the news accurately aridfairly. It appears to. iis that The Collegian has not fully accepted this distinction, as illustrated by theissue of. Noy^ 30. The lead headline, ' 'Beeman Ousting Imminent . .. " is not supported by the storyfollowing, arid was a pr|-judgment which' apparentiy assumed ^thatV â€¢if a recall election were gt;held, the Subject of- the -story would -be defeated. This unsigned story-fails considerably short -of -presenting; ja coherent, grammatical, and fair statement yot. the facjs involved. That- "the' only quoteavailable from an informed student'',-should come frorri one who had,"on Oct. 5, written; ah attack in TheCollegian ori;Beeman'rs efforts- with regard to^the Book Store; seems an extraordinary breach offairness. .' Turning: to the^ editorial page, if Beeman is,a ''scapegoat'' as the headings indicates',then", according to: our-dictionary, he is "one: who bears the blame for others?' The entirely gratuitousheading on the second editorial, "Besides the Gary Beeman Scandal," assumes-the existence of a"scandal'' which has not "been' proven..^ -v;/ .-â€¢'-'. ''-;'.â€¢;;â€¢-.â€¢':â€¢.= A campjis.newspaper,,supported out Of student fees,-;arid design nated the %%lf icial Weekly*^.Newspaper''of the College, has special responsibilities whichjitt seems to us; have been insufficiently recognized byits staff. At arnini-mum, these surely include accurate, literate, and fair reportage in the newscolumns, with headlines avoiding prejudicial sensationalism perhaps modeled after some of the less admired segments on the. non-student press. To the exteni that The Collegian circulates beyOnd: the campus, it is an important means of. representing WWSC.to the larger community and state,including members of the State Legislature. Whether in its r tendency -toward sensationalism and -- iri its frequently unfortunate syntax: it has, been a good representative is at least open to argument: Inits editorial advocacy of an essentially pacifist position, the paper has doubtless ..been within itsrights, but surely;; represents only a minute fraction of student opinion. That its columns have not beenopened more fully to contrasting opinions seems inconsistent with its financial support andrepresentative responsibilities. In no. proper sense is The Collegian the editor's newspaper; it is thenewspaper of the entire college community, and should reflect its aims as "a community of scholars."Consistent with that objective, The Cdllegiari might well extend its coverage of naÂ» tional andinternational affairs, including signed columns of informed opinions by able students. As WWSCexpands, it may be appropriate that both the roles of student government and the student press growwith it. To fulfill its potential as a vital force in an intellectual community, offering a broad sampling of campus news and opinion, and increased attention to the problems of the larger. community, local, national, and international; The Collegian is, we- hope, making plans for enlarged and more frequenteditions, with increased emphasis on the canons of; jour-nalistic ethics. . - JOHN J.

Are you really this hard put to find filler material? The whole thing, I think, conjures up a vivid image of a pack of dogs sniffing after abitch that is too small to mount. But, then I suppose this is another of the tiresome old turnstilesthat most of us think we have to pass through at one time or another. - I was under the impression thatmost people outgrow this sort of thing and leave it behind with their freshman beanies, beards and otherundergraduate foolishness. However it has recently come to my attention that certain facultymembers have lately taken part in this, grave, grave situation.. Now, it may be that these facultymembers believe that because of the professorial omniscience image, they will be heeded and theirefforts therefore will be effective. But, I'm afraid that what they may feel to be effective will merely rapethe emotion of their intended audience without nourishing its values. But then they couldn't possibly beserious, could they? I mean, after all, college is not an academic romp, is it?

Soon he wriggles his way into the warm building...The smell of food reaches his nose and he sniffs delightedly. Edging closer to the door of the fragrant-smelling room, he suddenly stiffens. A person in a white coat has seen him and with a shout of hey!,starts after him. Cowering behind the nearest people, he tries to stay un-noticed. But he is spotted andwith a look of fear in his eyes, he runs out the door. This little drama is repeated time after time atWestern. Each mealtime is marred by the tragedy felt by the small being. Naturally this concernsthe dog who somehow never quite manages to go through the meal lines at Saga. Of course he isbecoming better at ducking and weaving in and out among legs.

More than 150 people attended the opening in theViking Union Main Lounge, said Director of Women Studies Rosanne Kanhai. Kanhai said she felt it was important for this type of conference to take place in a homogenous community like Western.. "(Theconference) is a strong voice to be heard by anyone who is listening," Kanhai - said. "It is important thatthis type of event is supported by the campus." The SOCI conference is a national event that rotatesaround the country, Kanhai said. Each time it is hosted somewhere, it integrates itself into the area,Kanhai said. The opening ceremonies included presentations from Vice Provost Ken Simes; MargaretGreen, Chieftan of the Samish Indian Tribe; and tribal dancing and drumming by Chief John Cagey ofthe Lummi tribe with his wife and five grandchildren. Green shared her story of earning a degree fromEvergreen State College in The Little Swan Dancers performed the Dance of the 1978 and continuing tofight for greater tne sisters of Color conference opening. education for her people. racism of a dominatingwhite culture, Front/Matt Renschler Little People Friday night at Green expressed desire for Western tocontinue to educate students about her native lands. "The university should be a place to help peoplehelp themselves and make them grow," Green said. Provost Roland De Lorme formally opened theprogram. "Dr. De Lorme has always been a strong supporter (of women studies)," Kanhai said. "It wasappropriate that someone from Western's faculty should welcome conference participants." GailTremblay of Olympia substituted for Mary Crow Dog, who was scheduled to be the featured speaker ofthe night. Tremblay read poetry concerning the toward Native American cultures. She began herreadings with excerpts from Mary Crow Dog's book, Lakota Woman. She also read poems from herbook, Indians Singing in 20th Century America. Kanhai said the conference was meant to be agathering of people coming together regarding issues of color. The conference will be followed up by ananthology of participants' works. Kanhai said she is expecting an enthusiastic response for thepublication that will be distributed in the fall. Front/Erin Fredrichs Angela Eun Ee Koh Gibson spokeSaturday. By Robin Skillings The Western Front Five women of color spoke about their personalexperiences during a panel Saturday afternoon titled "The Politics of Identity" in Viking Addition 461-3.Angela Eun Ee Koh Gibson, an American Cultural Studies major, opened the panel with the backgroundand history of her topic of discussion, "Involuntary Immigrants: Korean-American Adoptees." "... I'ma bad memory to my mother. I'm an embarrassment to my nation. I'm not sure where I was born. I am not sure who I am. I'm case 8,819," Gibson read from a Ji Sun Sjogren poem, "Seed from a Silence." TheU.S. government, Gibson said, adopts Korean children as a humanitarian action to "save them from theirpoor living situations." She said the humanitarian theory is the most prominent issue for transracialadoptees. It is important for adopting families to know the children's situations and for children to haveknowledge of their back-, grounds should they begin to ask, Gibson said. Adopted from Seoul Korea atthe age of 2, Gibson said she views being Korean as only a "physical appearance." She traveled with her father to Korea at the age of 16. While there, she realized that "even though we shared the same color, I still didn't feel like I fit in ... due to my mannerisms." She continues to ask the questions, "Where do I fit in?" and, "Who am I accepted by?" Following Gibson's presentation, Touk Praseuthsy and Bopha Chan opened their discussion titled "Caught in a Culture Clash: Young Women Straddling South East Asiaand America." Praseuthsy, a Western finance student, said, "The mom versus the daughter of the SeeIdentity, -page 4 Western students saved from JWE headache By Ken Brierly and Julie Graham TheWestern Front A thorn in the side of many Western students was yanked out Monday by Western'sFaculty Senate. "The Junior Writing Exam is eliminated" said Faculty Senate President Jim Hearne after a unanimous vote to remove the test, "effective immediately," from university requirements. "Hold yourapplause," he said. The change removes one hurdle in the graduation requirements for currentstudents, Hearne said. Specifically, whether they've passed the JWE or not, students currentlyattending Western will now only be required to take a writing proficiency course in the process of fulfillinggraduation requirements. Incoming freshmen and transfer students as of fall quarter 1999 will be bound by a new set of standards, which are yet to be finalized. The motion to eliminate the test came on therecommendation of the Academic Coordinating Commission, which received the recommendation fromthe Expository Writing Committee. Faculty have long seen limitations in the JWE, said Carmen Werder,consultant to the EWC. "I had students who would write beautiful things for me, then fail the JWE,"said Diana Weymark, an economics professor who first came up with the idea of writing units threeyears ago. As part of its original recommendation to remove the JWE, the EWC suggested replacing the current writing proficiency requirements â€” both the JWE and the writing proficiency course â€” withclasses that would supply one to three writing credits, depending on the amount of required writing inthe class, said Thor Hansen, geology department chair; the geology department worked with the EWC to formulate the proposed new requirements. "Instead of having one class to satisfy a writing proficiencyrequirement," Hansen said, "you can have writing from several different disciplines" for writingproficiency credits. Under the proposed plan, a student would need a total of six writing units with apassing grade of "C" or better in order to graduate, Werder said. In their draft form, "writing units" wouldbe credited as follows: Three units for a course in which 70 percent of the requirements are draftwriting; two units for courses in which 50 percent of the course work is draft writing; and one unit forcourses in which 30 percent is writing. "This will make it easier for sciences to come up with classesthat count for writing proficiency," Hansen said. "But here's the ' See JWE, page 6 ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 2 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS June 2, 1998 Campus Police: May 28,1:45 p.m.: A Westernfaculty member reported smoke coming from a trash receptacle located on the north side of the ArtAnnex.

College President Charles Florasubmitted the proposal and said the program would be part of Washington state's Early ReleaseProgram. Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Technical Institute would be part of a three-school plan, along with Western, to create a diversified approach to the problem of educating eligibleinmates. Television violence discussed at symposium Aggressibri and the effects of television violenceon behavior were among the major issues discussed during the fourth annual Western Symposium onLearning. "Watching TV violence tends to increase aggressive behavior," said Robert Liebert, associateprofessor of psychology at State University of New York, Stony Brook. He said 80 percent of all thearguments shown on television are settled by violence. The "good guys" are rewarded for theiraggression, "usually with a raise, a vacation and a blonde," he said. Liebert seemed especiallyconcerned with such rewards when given to television policemen for violent behavior. He concludedthat "TV has been shown to be one of the contributors to violence in the world ... We have to reduceviolence and increase socially good television." Group discusses legality of hitchhiking A women'spolitical group dedicated to preserving the spirit of the American government and the constitution began a petition drive to make hitchhiking illegal. Mildred Trantow, president of the Washington state chapter of Pngt;America, said her group opposed the hitchhiking law because "it is hazardous to both thesafety of the hitchhiker and the driver." . Sergeant Harlan Ritter, safety education officer of theWashington State Patrol district office in Everett, said his main concern is.the danger,factor ofhitchhiking. With poor visibility and early darkness during the fall months, Ritter said drivers can't easilysee Wtchhikers,. His office is also concerned about elementary- age children who are hitchhiking, and some are doing so to and from school. Also noted was a Seattle police department survey, from Mayto September 1972, which showed 59 criminal offenses were related to Wtchhiking. Drinking initiativedrowns After gathering thousands of signatures, spending countless hours and hundreds of dollars,Initiative 262 met its end. David Huey, a Western student and organizer of the initiative drive, was thevictim of a car theft â€” the car carrying the signatures for the initiative that, if passed, would havelowered me drinking age in the state of Washington to 18. The car was stolen from in front of initiativeheadquarters in Seattle while he was trying gather more signatures. He was on his way to thesecretary of state's office in Olympia to hand in the signatures. The car was later found on the outskirts of Renton with a note that said, "Fuck you, 262." Huey said the issue was taken to the courts after thetheft, but the motion to allow the initiative on the ballot was turned down.

Faculty Senate adopts new recycled paper plan By ErinBecker The Western Front Western students and faculty may soon be printing on recycled paper andnot even know it. Last night the Faculty Senate passed a resolution to begin phasinging printers andcopiers that can handle recycled paper. A paper company recently introduced 100-percent post-consumer, non-chlorine bleached, recycled paper and Western is currently testing it in some print-Associated Students Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs Jesse Salomon has beenworking the last three months on the resolution presented by both the AS Board and the FacultySenate, instituting the use of recycled paper in campus printers and copy machines. 'â€¢â€¢ "My goalis to get every computer lab and copier on campus to use 100-percent post-consumer, unbleached,recycled paper," STUDENT PUBLICATIONS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY WESTERN FRONTAdvertising Sales Representative Academic Year, 1998/1999 Requirements: â€¢Prior sales experiencehelpful but not essential (training provided) â€¢Capable of dealing with the public â€¢Full time studentenrollment required Submit resume and letter of intent to Business Manager, Student Publications,CH110, MS 9100 Bellingham Cooperative School * *"* ' ...a country school in the city Salomon said.The AS Board passed the recy-cled- paper resolution, with the goal of phasing in printers that arecapable of handling the recycled paper. The AS Boaj-d also passed a resolution last Wednesdaydirecting its offices to use this paper in printers and in the new copiers that are being phased in.Salomon said the Faculty Senate seemed receptive to the idea and that a stamp of approval from thesenate is very important. However, the senate will not make the policy concerning recycled paper.Using recycled paper is not a new idea at Western. "Western, to me, has always been a leader inrecycling," said Dale Monroe, director of purchasing at Western. "We carry a large amount of recycled products in our Central Stores." Thirty percent of the paper currently used at Western is recycled;however, the majority of the paper is made from tree pulp. However, Monroe said Central Stores soldmore than $100,000 worth of recycled paper products from July 1997 through December 1997.Recycling Education Coordinator Becky Statzel, of the AS Recycling Center, said Western tried tofollow the 1989 Government Option Landfill Disposal Plan. The GOLD Plan focused on using recycledpaper to reduce waste and promote recycling. The plan eventually lost popularity on Western's campus. "I think it's really hideous that we do not already have recycled paper in all the computer labs," Statzelsaid. "Anyone who has used the labs must have noticed how much paper is used and wasted andshould be in support of the new plan." A few years ago, several students were involved, and recycledpaper appeared in the labs, but it was not long-lived. "Once those students graduated, the pressurewas gone and the program stopped," Salomon said. Salomon said recycled paper may be phased intothe lab printers again if students show strong support. "What needs to happen is the Faculty Senatehas to hear that the students want this, and then hopefully everything will get passed through," Salomonsaid. "(Students) need to call in and put pressure on the board and senate â€” they need to make it anissue." "I think recycling is something everyone should support," Statzel said. "Students need to let the administrators know it is important and put pressure on them." Even though environmental awareness seems to be at a peak, opposition to this plan still exists. Many students complained about the color of the paper during the last attempt at using recycled paper in the labs. Salomon said he thinksstudents may not have been aware of what happens in the process of making white paper. "During thebleaching process, dioxins are released into the environment and the food chain," Salomon said."They are the most carcinogenic chemicals around. Unfortunately, some students did not understandthis and complained about the off-white color." The new 100-percent recycled paper is acid-free and is cleaned with non-chlorine bleach, which is better for the environment, Monroe said. The main complaint was that the paper jammed the printers; the shorter lengths of the fibers caused the paper to curl,Monroe said. "Higher-speed printers cannot tolerate the recycled paper as it is now," Monroe said.Monroe explained that reprocessing the paper makes the paper weaker. "The longer the fibers, thestronger the paper," Monroe said. The new paper is white and costs $4.79 per ream when 8,000 reamsare purchased. The majority of paper used on campus is virgin paper, which costs $2.04 per ream.Western also uses 30-percent recycled paper, which costs $2.45 per ream. Western is now in theprocess of testing the paper in several printers, waiting for the price of the new recycled paper to fall."(Recycled paper) is too expensive, so we will wait and anticipate the cost will be equal to orcheaper than it is now for regular paper," Salomon said. "We've found a new source of 100-percentrecycled paper to replace the previous brand," Steve Baughn of Central Stores said. "We are testing itnow, and if we find four to five people to test it,'we can find where it works and where it doesn't."However, Salomon said it worked well in the AS printer. Western has been using recycled productsfor the past several years, Baughn said. "We've been stocking recycled products for the last 10 to 15years, and we are happy to do it," Baughn said. Statzel said using recycled paper is important in manyways; it is not only better for the environment, but it also supports the recycling market. "It's a goodinvestment for the future. If we pollute our rivers and destroy the environment now, we will pay to clean itup in the future," Salomon said. "If we take the steps we need to now to prevent this, it will stop a lot ofdestruction and save us time and money as a society." Salomon presented the recycled paper planagain at 4 p.m. See Paper, page 6 ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS June 2,1998 Speaker says women must learn from each other ByTiffany White The Western Front Miriam Ching Louie spoke about what it will mean to be a woman ofcolor in the 21st century at 7 p.m. Saturday in the Viking Addition 5th floor as part of the weekendSisters of Color International Conference. Jennifer Kang, former teacher with the American CulturalStudies Department, said Louie works with The Women of Color Resource Center at Berkeley, focusingon women's education in a global economy. Louie has worked with women of color and communityissues for more than two decades and is involved in several movements and organizations, such asFuerza Uriida, an organization that supports laid-off Mexican factory workers. Louie began her speech by thanking SOCI for inviting her to take part in the weekend conference. "I think it is a really good timeto have an opportunity to come together as women of color to recharge our batteries," Louie said,"because there are a lot of different advances we have in our communities and work areas. "It is alwaysgood to get together and know that we are not just imagining this stuff; you are not just out there byyourself. There are a lot of other sisters that you can reach out to and teach you a lot of experiences."Louie centered her speech around what it means to be an activist for women of color in the 21st century. Being a woman of color in the 21st century means you will be busy all the time, Louie said. "That iswhat part it means to be a woman of color, is to have your toe on different sets of people, differentgroups and different movements that you are working with in this point of your lives," Louie said. "Toclarify ... you are dealing with sexism, racism, class issues, homophobia and everything â€” you willalways deal with something," Louie said. "In the women's movement, you have to deal with and figureout and choose what are the battles you want to fight, and where you want to get to." Her past as ahistory of activism involved being a member of the Third World Women's f o j | ^ ^ ||^i|pivte^';an:;6rgÂ£fti|a^ SOCJ|ifesi|ltec['. whjen J i * ^ ^ | n | | j ^ vi$|en:^^ Alliance, which was very active in the late1960s and early 1970s, she said. She involved herself in organizations that worked with the civil rights movements and groups that concerned all women's rights, such as the right to have an abortion, whichwere just legalized at that time. The issue of abortion brought up issues of women's access to medicalcare and sterilization and infant mortality in minority communities, Louie said. She used a personalexample to illustrate different struggles. She told the audience that she attended an Asian CommunityService Conference in Los Angeles and was planning to attend another conference concerning humanrights struggles. "I'm not just one person, not a special person, but I think that indicates howcomplicated our lives are as women of color, that we are having to deal with a variety of differentmovements and struggles," Louie said. Women of color in the 21st century will also have to have aglobal perspective, Louie said. "It is an important experience to be able to step outside of your cornerand interact with the rest of the world," she said. Louie referred to the United Nations Decade of Women meetings from 1975 to 1985 as an example of women coming together to discuss global issues. TheBeijing Women's Conference also served as .an opportunity for women to gather and discuss issuessuch as homelessness and migrant workers' rights, and form round tables of women of Front/ErinFredrichs Miriam Ching Louie spoke Saturday at the conference. color organizations, Louie said. Thetwo issues that affect women are human rights issues and the impact of the global economy, Louie said. Overall, Louie said, "... the consciousness of U.S. women around economic issues is really low." TheWomen's Resource Center at Berkeley are working with an educational project to raise consciousness of global issues. "A lot of things that impact the women of color of the United States is part of a globalmodel," Louie said. The center's global project takes main documents of issues and creates aneducation-in-global- economy workbook for high school curriculum. The center is also working withwomen in a partnership with creative writing and poetry to try to get the story of women's lives into themedia, Louie said. The Women Resource Center in Berkeley was initially developed from the racethat emerged from the civil rights movements at that time, but also came from what was happening interms of liberation struggles in other countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, Louie said. The centerhas members who are "basically people who are trying to figure out ways, even though we are working in different communities, how could we come together across racial lines and to combine academicand . research work people are doing and organize it in the community," Louie said. Louie alsoemphasized that women can learn from the different movements and struggles, such as emphasis onthe environment and spirituality in the Native American Movement. "One thing we have to do aswomen is build those bridges and learn from each other and share with each other," Louie said. "Therehas been too much of a separation between with what is going on in universities and what is going on inthe community." Identity, from page 1 United States" is a large issue. "There are conflicts due to thegeneration gap," said Chan, a student at Seattle University. Chan said many of the pressures ondaughters come from their families. The daughters are to assume their rightful places within the family:to clean, cook and baby-sit â€” the old tradition style, she said. Having immigrated from Cambodia in1979 with her family, Chan said, "Many parents fear that we will turn our backs on our culture, who weare and where we came from." But, she mentioned, after entering college, she has become closer toher culture. Both Praseuthsy and Chan attended Raymond High School, a predominantly Caucasianschool, where they formed a support group for fellow female Asian students. "Each student hasissues," Chan said, adding, "the group gives those students a safe place to go to discuss the issuesthey are dealing with so they don't feel alone." "Many of the pressures push these young women intodropping out of school, getting married, or pregnant," she said. Also on the panel was Star Rush,who recently received her master's degree in English from Western. Her presentation centered aroundher thesis titled "Reconciliation; Sp(l)itting Image: A Memoir of a Vietnamese American Girlhood." Herstory dealt with the inner turmoil of being Vietnamese in America. "I feel like an American most of thetime, and the only reminder that I'm not is the alien registration card that I keep in my wallet betweenmy bank ATM and Visa card," Rush recited from her thesis. Rush spoke passionately about growingup in the United States. She entered the United States at the age of 5 with her Caucasian father andVietnamese mother during the Vietnam War. "If I do not speak, if I do not remind myself and others ofthis difference, it is too easy to disappear here, too easy to let circumstance and habit erase a partof me," she read. "I am nagged by something much deeper than my looks or my habits. Who I am runsdeeper than the color of my skin or the accent of my speech or the faint asstiredness of my memory. Itruns in my blood," she continued. Cynthia Tompkins, the final panel member, is a Women's Studiesprofessor from Arizona University. She asked the question, "How do you negotiate all of thedifferences to form an organization which is supposed to create a fair education for everyone?" Rushresponded with reference to English courses in some community colleges: "There is a segregation!" Students have to make a choice as to which English classes they would take â€” either a multicultural study or a predominantly (white) literature course, she said. "Most people select a class to see-themselves. That's why we read â€” to find ourselves ... people like us!" Rush said. Therefore, asegregation occurs because no one is getting a combined education of all ethnic views. AuthenticMexican Grill Take Out 360-714-9426 300 N.

Thedevelopment will be located on the site of the former Donovan Farm and will accommodate 32 single-family homes that will be clustered in triplexes and duplexes around a shared common house, said Kate Nichols, spokesperson for Bellingham Cohousing. Nichols explained that the cohousing concept isdifferent from a gated community or apartment complex because of the ideology behind thedevelopment. "It's resident driven; we make the decisions," Nichols said. "It requires a lot ofcommitment and participation." "It's an intentional community; people go into it with the idea that therewill be some sort of support from other people," she said. The group got its start about 10 years ago,Nichols said, and was inspired by cohousing developments in both Denmark and the United States.Plans for actual development have accelerated with the September purchase of the nearly six-acreDonovan building site. "We've had to change gears and organize more as a company and a business toget it developed," Nichols said. "We've just come to that point." As a result of the project acceleration,the group has recently hired Sehome Planning and Engineering, Inc. Terry Galvin, owner of thecompany, will be the project manager for the cohousing development. "Hiring Terry will have an impactin that he has the experience we need to move the project forward," Nichols explained. "It's a $4 millionproject, and none of us have done anything like it; we need that kind of professional guidance andexperience." Galvin said he is responsible for hiring engineers, landscapers and architects, in addition to working with the city to get the necessary permits for the development. "We literally manage the projectand help ensure the finances are in place and "It's a step up; we're not just building homes, butcommunity.. Terry Galvin Sehome Planning and Engineering, Inc. that the project gets built in a waythat's consistent with cohousing ideals," Galvin said. So far, about 12 families are involved with theproject, Nichols said. Seven are developing members, who each invested $20,000 in the project. Adeveloping member joining now would give $2,500. They also have five associate members,distinguished by their initial down payment of $150 each. These members receive reading materials tobecome informed about the project, while developing members become part of the business that wasformed to purchase the property. Nichols said that, regardless of membership level, each member gets a voice in the consensus decision-making format used by the group. "Participation is voluntary," Nichols said. "Someone signs and says, 'Yes, I will participate,' but the level of participation is up to them."Nichols said the consensus decisionmaking process usually involves a discussion of writtenproposals for group action and requires getting the agreement of the whole group before any action istaken. "In a sense, it's made me look at creative ways to have people in my life that I wouldn't normally," Nichols reflected. "It's a time to get really creative and look for ways to do things to meet people'sneeds." The project is designed with several unique features: parking will be on the perimeter of thecomplex to cut down on through traffic, and pedestrian pathways will provide access to homes andshared areas. "The big thing is that we will be building on less land," Nichols said. "It's not going to belike some subdivisions, where you drive in and all you see is asphalt." The triplexes and duplexes willbe built to simulate the appearance of a large single-family residence with a terrace or porch/Nicholsexplained. The shared common house will be the center of the community cluster, providing a kitchen for preparing shared meals several times per week and providing a place for meetings and groupgatherings. Shared work areas are also being considered in the plans, include a sewing room/a shop,a craft room, playground and garden, Nichols said. Front/Jesse Kinsman Kathleen Heft, spokespersonfor Bellingham Cohousing, original member Kate Nichols and her daughter Emily look over the plans forthe project. The Bellingham group is also concerned with taking measures to make less of anenvironmental impact, which means not building on two acres of the site that have been designated aswetlands. "There was another subdivision planned for this property," Nichols said. "It would've moved into the wetlands. "We're concerned about preserving the wetlands and being good stewards to the creek,"she said. Nichols explained that the clustered housing also helps conserve resources by cutting downon the number of outside walls a family has to heat. She also said the group will use more native plantsfor landscaping, with less lawn, and will preserve the older trees on the property. "It's the nature ofcohousing developments that they share a number of things â€” for instance, lawnmowers," Galvinexplained. "All that stuff, that in itself reduces the amount of consumption. I think that's a big componentof the cohousing concept." The group is also interested in using energy-efficient building materials,Galvin said. This could include readily available materials, such as sand, gravel and concrete, insteadof lumber. However, he also said these materials are in less demand than lumber and, therefore, moreexpensive. "In the short run, it's more expensive," Galvin noted. "The initial cost for material will behigher. Over the long run, it will save energy and provide a more maintenance- free development." "This isn't low income by any stretch, but the community amenities it provides far outweigh the cost itrepresents," he said. Nichols is a student and single mother of one 4-year-old daughter, Emily. "It'sreally a safer environment in the sense that there's more people looking out for the children, and peopleknow the children," Nichols said. "That also includes the elderly, or if someone gets sick or goes onvacation." When asked if cohousing might become the preferred building practice in the future, Nicholsresponded, "I don't know if it will ever become mainstream, but I think it will definitely make an impact."There is already a diversity of different living modes and habitats," Galvin said. "There are single-familyhomes, multi family homes, apartments, townhouses and trailer parks :â€” a number of ways peoplelive. This is another one â€” it's a natural progression to satisfy the human needs associated withcommunity and family." "It's a step up; we're not just building homes, but community that facilitatesgatherings, sharing and shared responsibility. It's a solid addition to what presently exists in thecommunity." "It's one of those things whose time has come â€” I feel very fortunate to work on a projectthat's so creative." WM AVAILABLE History 112, Intro, to West.

Last Monday, the Department of Justice filed what may be the largest and most far-reaching lawsuit ever filedagainst a company using the century-old Sherman anti-trust laws. Twenty states immediately followedsuit, filing their own anti-trust suits against the software giant. The Justice Department and the statescontend Microsoft is violating an agreement with the federal government made in 1994, stipulatingthat Microsoft is not to bundle its products together, something the company is doing by integratingits Internet Explorer web browser into its new Windows '98 operating system. More seriously forMicrosoft, the lawsuits contend the company has a monopoly in the software industry. But what makesthe lawsuits and surrounding issues so interesting are the close ties-between Justice Departmentinvestigation and Microsoft's competitors. Many Microsoft supporters have contended that the suitsare at the behest of competitors who simply can't keep up with Microsoft.

Under the proposed plan, classes that are currently referred to as"writing proficiency classes" would be writing unit classes, Werder said. She said the proposal wouldallow classes currently requiring writing instruction to count toward writing credits, as well as the benefit of giving practice in writing itself. The ACC has not yet acted upon the writing units proposal, said SteveRoss, chair of the ACC "One proposal has been drafted and others may be put forward next year," hesaid. Philosophy Professor Tom Downing, a member of the ACC, said, "The writing units proposal is astrong possibility for replacing the writing proficiency course, but nothing formal has come to us (theACC) yet." "Neither the ACC nor the Faculty Senate was addressing specific details of the proposal inorder to act quickly and avoid unnecessary test-taking this summer," Werder said. "There are still a lot of questions to be answered about the proposal," she said.."How much writing instruction will constitutethese writing units is the key question for the interim year." The EWC will continue working on thewriting units proposal throughout next year and then return the proposal to the ACC, which will send it tothe senate if approved, Downing said. The ACC will also be working on details of a motion the committeepassed May 26 to require a second required writing course in the GURs, he said. "The second requiredwriting course will catch us up with other state schools; the writing units will actually be over and aboveGURs," Werder said. "It's just a lot better," Hansen said. "If you have this (writing instruction) inseveral classes, it should improve writing ability." states can prove Microsoft qualifies as a monopolyunder the Sherman laws. The 100-year-old laws lay out a very complicated formula for determining amonopoly. Other business groups and free-market advocates have also contended the government isoverstepping its Jbounds and punishing MicfosOftsimpiy for being the dominantcompetitor; The lawand court standards that dictate the definition of a monopoly are murky. The courts need to decidewhether Microsoft is a benign, legal monopoly or an anti-competitive giant that actively quashescompetition through its business practices, or if it's just another software company. Microsoft is a bigcompany with a huge portion of the software market share. But is it a monopoly? Microsoft says no.The company has always contended its dominance in the ever-evolving technology field could crumblein an instant. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates has said numerous times that Microsoft's dominance in can betoppled if a newer technology comes out that could replace PC operating systems. Java by SunMicrosystems is one such technology that runs programs straight off the Internet without an operatingsystem. Netscape is also in the developing stages of a similar technology. But, it is difficult to say if orwhen those technologies may be widely used and accepted by consumers. If Microsoft is judged amonopoly, the next step is to see if it is an anti-competitive monopoly. This is where the issue getsreally cloudy. The court will have to consider how much control Microsoft has over its customers, ifany, and whether it's in business deals with large companies or their pricing tactics for consumersoftware. The courts will also have to decide if Microsoft uses price gouging to quell other competitors. A recent example that could be used in proving this is Microsoft's free web browser offer. The JusticeDepartment could contend that courtesy of the History of Computing web page Microsoft is in a uniqueposition Microsoft owner, Bill Gates to do this because it has other products it sells for profit, whereasNetscape's profits come from selling its browser. The next installment will explore the ramification forboth Microsoft and the business world if the Justice Department wins this case. â€¢â€¢â€¢ pargt;erplan again at 4 p.m. Monday at the faculty senate meeting.

They see the strobe of lights flashing pure, blinding white and fire red even withtheir eyes closed. Their hearts race as the adrenaline pulses through their veins, and they wonder if theywill return. These unsung heroes are firefighters, but they don't get paid to risk their lives. It's purely apassion driven from inside â€” something that mere words just can't explain. They are volunteerfirefighters, and nothing in this world could satisfy them more. "It's a passion," says Jerry Donnelly, firelieutenant at Fire District 8, Station 5. Lt. Donnelly joined the Navy to become a paramedic and enlisted for seven years, also serving on the Navy's local fire brigade. Donnelly's passion was for fire, and hestarted the resident program on the Lummi Indian Reservation. The resident program on Lummi Island,called "Marietta" by Fire District 8, is the only full residence program in Whatcom County. Volunteerfirefighters are given free room and board to live at the station and respond to emergency calls throughout the day. Residents cook their own.meals, have their own rooms and have fire station duties. These duties include cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, living areas, and washing fire trucks and emergency vehicles..During two years without resident fire fighters, Donnelly had to fight several fires on his own. Due to poorweather conditions, back-up was slow to respond the calls, and Donnelly was becoming desperate forvolunteers. - * Finally, recruits began to show up at Donnelly's resident station. The first recruit .tomove out to the station was Robert. Terpsma. He is a certified Emergency Medical. Technician and.also works at St. Joseph Hospital as a security guard. lt;â€¢ ... _;â€¢ , "People see the lights and hearthe sirens but don't see everything that goes into being a firefighter," Terpsma said, ;,; .... ,,: ..-gt;gt;:â€¢ lt; - -â€¢ Volunteer firefighters are scheduled for two or three 24-hour shifts per week,sometimes rnpre, on top pf their current "What, this means is tha.tl.may, have, just worked a. 14-hourshift at the hospital and then will need to go to; the-station to-be on call Tor another 24 hours,"-Terpsmasaid. "But - and none of the pay the thrill and passion of it all is worth it." Fire District 8 is now filled withresidents who are willing to donate their time and energy for other people's well-being. Whatcom County has 800 firefighters^ but only 125 of the firefighters are paid. The remaining 675 firefighters are volunteers.The districts with volunteers, both full-time and part-time, respond to many of the emergencies first.Fully funded fire districts, like Bellingham's, will always be the first to arrive at calls in their areas. But inoutlying areas of Whatcom County, many of the districts are either fully volunteer or partially volunteer,and they are the first to respond to emergency call. Many of the volunteer districts are miles apart, sowhen dispatch puts a call through to the fire stations, it goes to all the stations until someoneresponds to a call. "Sometimes it can take up to 20 minutes before someone shows up; if you have hada heart-attack, that's your death sentence," said lieutenant Donnelly. "Sometimes it's really tough," saidLt. Donnelly. "People expect to get a fully funded fire department when they dial 911 for theiremergencies." Donnelly went on to explain that sometimes volunteer districts have to drive up to 22miles to respond to an emergency call. "By the time we arrive the damage is already done in thesecases â€” people WÂ®* can't understand why we couldn't be there sooner," Donnelly said. "That'swhen we have to explain that we are a volunteer district and we are trying our best to serve thecommunity." This type of situation doesn't happen on a regular basis, but it does still happen with inour community, Donnelly Volunteer firefighters receive a small -amount of gratitude; they are given $5 forevery call they respond to and $6 to keep up with their ongoing training. Kim Keck, administrativeassistant at Whatcom County Fire District 7, said a law was passed.in October of 1997, that insuresthat if a volunteer firefighter dies ihthe line of duty, his b'eneficia'ries'wiil receive $150,000 forcompensation. -â€¢ ; â€¢ '" - Volunteer fighters risk their lives each day for a pay approachingminimum wage. â€¢ :â€¢"'â€¢â€¢â€¢ â€¢ "viDEO m..

Each boat carried a team two students who carefullymaneuvered their boats around each other, adjusting the sails as they lined up in starting position. Thebeginning sailing class was practicing its first race. Hearing the shrill cry of the instructor's voicecrackling through a megaphone, the students released their boats and flew over the shimmering watertoward their destination, with their sails stretched tightly against the power of the wind. The draw ofsailing "is the wind blowing fretfully on the face and through the hair," said Miranda Seeton. "I think it'sjust fun speeding over the waves, when you are almost tipping and almost out of control," Seeton said."It's that excitement, that possibility of sailing on the edge." Seeton is a beginning sailing student thisquarter. "I've grown up on the lake, and I love the water," she said. "I thought it would be a good class totake during the afternoon to take a break from the campus scene; get out on the water and have a goodtime," she said. In one quarter, students learn the basics of sailing and receive certification by theAmerican Sailing Association. Several facilities are available for Western students interested in sailing. If students don't know how to sail, several courses are offered at Western. In the physical education curriculum, classes range from beginning sailing to instruction sailing and cost $35 per person.Keelboat lessons in Bellingham Bay are also available. Private lessons, two-hour sessions for fourdays, are offered for $35 by instructors at Lakewood on Lake Whatcom. Western student K.C.

"As everyone is getting out on the water, it's good time for me to spendsome one-one-one time with them, trying to take them to the level of perfection," he said. "Thebetter they get now, the better they can learn real tacking in sssssr^w^ advanced courses." Bodily isalso captain of the Western sailing team. The team welcomes anyone who is interested in sailing,experienced or not. The sailing team begins recruiting prospective students at the start of fall quarter.Bodily gives introductory lectures at the beginning of the season, and beginning sailors ask moreexperienced team members questions as they learn. Certified sailors may rent sailing craft fromWestern. Lakewood houses more than 50 different watercraft for student use. Anyone with campusidentification from Western, Northwest Indian College and Whatcom Community College can rent asailboat for a day, Jeff Davis said. Prices range from $2 for an Alpha/Laser sailing craft and $3 for the two keelboats, Victory 21 and Pearson 23. "But, for the sailing equipment, you do have to know how to sail and have to take an orientation and see how things are run and the parts of the boats," Davis said."There are a lot of things that need to be assembled." Orientations are offered Friday, Saturday andSunday at anytime and last about 45 minutes. "It gives people a chance to see where everything isand do a demonstration of basic skill," Davis said. Students may also find outside instruction at localsailing schools
