The Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, MEChA, a human rights organization that focuses on chicano issues, is sponsoring Western's walkout, which is scheduled for noon Wednesday in Red Square. "We don't want extremist immigration reform," said Western senior Sierra Schraff- Thomas, a member of the student group. "We want immigration reform that includes human rights and justice, for everyone." The bill, HR 4437, will allow for tougher prosecution of undocumented people, she said. Undocumented workers have children who are natural-born citizens who would be left alone if their parents became felons and were imprisoned, she said. The group is walking out to send a unified message to state and national politicians, Schraff-Thomas said. Western's walkout includes a march to the Federal Building in downtown Bellingham, where marchers will present a letter protesting the bill to the Bellingham office of Rep. Rick Larsen D-Wash., who voted for the bill in December. Larsen expressed reservations about the bill in a December 16,2005 press release. see BELL, page 5 PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT In preparation for Saturday's border rally, Ray Ybarra, of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, trained protesters from the Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement on March 29 at Taqueria El Polivoz on Meridian Street.

Minutemen encounter opposition at border KUGS DJs spin on Web BY SHAWN QUERY The Western Front Western's student-run radio station, KUGS-FM, began broadcasting online March 10, allowing listeners who live out of town, or who can't get the signal, to enjoy its programming. By clicking on the link "Listen to KUGS-FM online now" on the KUGS Web site's homepage, users can listen at their computers, said Oliver Anderson, Western senior and program manager. The core staff at the station worked on getting the Webcast up and running last year, Anderson said. see RADIO, page 5 BY JULIE WAGGONER The Western Front The Coalition for Professional Law and Border Enforcement, a group of local human rights organizations, held a rally to oppose the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps April 1 at the Peace Arch Park in Blaine. For four hours in the steady rain, some of the 50 activists handed out informational leaflets about the Minutemen to motorists waiting to cross at the Peace Arch border crossing in Blaine. Other members performed original music and theatrical performances at the event which began the Aguila del Norte Legal* Observer program. "The objective is to, in a peaceful way, hold the Minutemen accountable for what they're doing and to see if they violate human rights," Fairhaven College senior see ACTIVISTS, page 4 PETER THAN / THE WESTERN FRONT KUGS-FM DJ and Western freshman Jenny Hemley works on sound equipment during a broadcast.

Compiled by Rob Ashlock WIHI1I1II111 Election lacks candidates With deadline near, only 14 students have entered AS races BY JEFFREY LUXMORE The Western Front The deadline to enter the Associated Students elections is Thursday and only 14 students have applied for the seven board positions, said Western junior and the AS elections coordinator Brian Perrow. Out of the 14 candidates who have applied so far, 11 already work for or with the AS, he said. "We hardly ever see anyone from the campus community get involved," Perrow said. Applications are available in Viking Union 504 and are due back by 5 p.m. on Thursday. Applicants must collect 150 signatures as part of the application process, but Perrow said he has seen a candidate do that in a single day. Western senior Alanna Ahern, the AS vice president for campus and community affairs, said students with leadership skills would be successful in any of the board's positions. "When one faction of campus is always dominating the agenda, that's not good for students," Ahern said. "The ability to affect change on my campus is the top benefit for me," she said. Seven student board members comprise the elected positions of the AS. It also employs students through extra curricular groups, such as KUGS, the campus radio station, Perrow said. Kevin Majkut, director of Viking Union student activities, said the elections usually have at least two students running for each of the positions. Approximately the same amount of students ran last year compared to who has filed this year, he said. The lack of new students running for the board could be due to insufficient advertising PETERTHAN /THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Michael Downing pauses to read an advertisement promoting the upcoming AS election. 11 out of the 14 applicants who have filed for this year's AS board elections are already involved with the AS. of the board and elections, Ahern said. One of Perrow's responsibilities as elections coordinator is to promote the elections, but no specific office exists to promote the AS. This could explain why advertising is not more widespread around campus, Ahern said. The AS Review and its Web site are available for students to quickly find out what is happening on campus, but these are not specific advertising outlets for the AS, Perrow said. Most of Perrow's work with promotions will focus on voter turnout. He is organizing radio spots and advertisements in campus publications, he said. Perrow posted flyers up with the Publicity Center around campus right before spring break informing students of the filing deadline, he said. The AS also advertised in kiosks around campus to promote the elections at the beginning of spring quarter, he said. Ahern said she would like to see students who are familiar with the AS run, but she wants new students as well. The elections are open to students without prior experience with the AS. The AS would not adequately represent Western students if it did not welcome applicants who are not previously affiliated with the AS, she said. The AS may intimidate students who are new to the group because new students don't know how the AS process works, Ahern said. Returning AS members may be more efficient in the board positions in the beginning because they understand the board members' roles and the issues Western faces that continue year after year, Perrow said: They may understand issues better because of their continued involvement, he said. Returning AS members tend to concentrate their efforts on continuing what they did the previous year instead of looking for new issues to focus on, he said. New students would offer another perspective, he said. "Fresh voices bring new ideas," Perrow said. The Western Front Online Don't cry!

The sign translates from Spanish as, "dignity without borders." CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Andres Ortiz said. The Minutemen began sporadically watching for illegal crossings of the Washington state- Canada border since October 2005, photographing any violations and reporting them to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, said Tom Williams of Deming, the leader of the Washington state's Minutemen chapter: Ortiz will lead volunteers from the legal observer program in an extended period of watching the Minutemen. They will document any actions the group perceives as abusive at its Blaine headquarters using photographs, notes and videos. Ortiz said the legal observer program will show all the documents it collects to the Whatcom County Council at the end of April to convince the council to pass a resolution informing the Minutemen they are not welcome in Whatcom County. Ortiz said the Legal Observer program has 48 members, a quarter of whom are Western students. He said all volunteers attend a two-hour training in non-violent observation, teaching them how to avoid confrontations with the Minutemen. Methods include humor, changing the subject or refusing to respond to attacks, such as incidents where Minutemen spat on or kicked legal observers in Arizona where the Minutemen are active in patrolling the border, Ortiz said. "We want to see what they're up to and report it back to the community," said Western senior David Cahn, a member of the program. "We just want to observe and document them, not get in their faces at all." Ortiz said the program is based on Legal Observer Project in Arizona, where the Minutemen organization began patrolling the border in April 2005. The American Civil Liberties Union's Ray Ybarra, who established the Arizona Legal Observer Project last April, trained Ortiz and others in non-violent observation March 29 at the Taqueria El Polivoz Mexican restaurant on Meridian Street, Ortiz said. Williams said the Minutemen are not opposed to the legal observer program. The volunteers will have a boring job because the Minutemen don't engage in illegal activities, he said. The Legal Observers will be helping the Minutemen's goal by putting more eyes on the border, he said. "I don't think intimidation is a humane method of protecting the borders," said Western senior Jackie Vosler, who attended the rally. "I think we have a responsibility to make sure it's not used. It's important that we make sure human beings are treated like human beings in all situations and that invisible borders we create don't change that." BREWERY BISTRO miners DO YOI WAX!

The county will use an area homeless count they completed in January, Gary Williams, supervisor of the human services division of the Whatcom County Health Department, said the count's purpose is to look at the homeless population's demographics and the major factors that contribute to their homelessness. ... "People are probably never going to see many of the homeless as a lot of them do not wish to be seen," said Sherri Emerson, public relations correspondent for Whatcom Opportunity Council, an agency that helps homeless people find shelters. Lara Bond, 28, a junior in the human services program at Woodring College of Education at Western, met with homeless students during her ongoing internship at the Opportunity Council. Bond said the Opportunity Council tries to help everyone who is homeless, but often they are not able to. "There are not enough services here for the homeless," Bond said. "They are limited especially for certain circumstances. The most disappointing thing you can tell someone when they come here is that they aren't eligible for what is offered or that they are on their own that night to find a place to stay." Williams said he hopes to compare results with other counties in Washington that completed the count within the next two weeks. More than 50 organizations administered the count, including the Opportunity Council, Bellingham Foodbank, Bellingham school district, Whatcom County Jail and the YWCA Transitional Housing Program. 65% Homeless minors â€¢35% â€¢ Older than 18 GRAPHIC BY MICHAEL LYCKLAMA Thirty-five percent of Whatcom County's homeless are younger than 18 years old.

"The Webcast is great because when I listen to the radio, I'm always curious about the songs that are playing," said Western freshman disc jockey Jenny Hemley. Information for the last two songs is also listed below the current song. By clicking on the "View playlist archive" link, listeners can research song information for any track that aired since the Webcast started, Anderson said. Although KUGS first began Webcasting in 1997, changing copyright laws and fees forced the station to stop in 2002, said KUGS general manager Jamie Hoover. The station would have been charged for every listener using the Webcast as well as for every song each listener played online, Hoover said. If 200 listeners were listening to a song on the Webcast, it would cost the station approximately $20,000 per year, Hoover said. "College stations across the country really just stopped what they _________ were doing," she said. "(The cost) scared a lot of stations away from Webcasting." Hoover said an agreement with Recording Artists of America allowed stations at colleges with more than 15,000 students, such as Western, to only pay $500 a year for Webcasting. KUGS also pays approximately $170 per month for a service called PlayStream to process and distribute the station's signal, she said. At this cost, only 50 listeners can use the Webcast at any one time, Hoover said. Once KUGS exceeds the bandwidth, no more users can log on to the Webcast, she said. If the Webcast gains popularity, Hoover said she plans to ask the Associated Students board of directors to fund an increase in Webcast users. Hoover said the main goal of the Webcast is to reach more listeners in the residence halls. Because many residence halls, such _________ as Buchanan Towers and Fairhaven have concrete walls, it can be difficult for students to receive the radio signal, Hoover said. "We know that students come to campus with their computers, and we know that most of the students get their entertainment and their media through their computers," Hoover said. "The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership." Western junior and KUGS operations coordinator Cory Watkins said she thinks the new feature will improve the sound quality of the station on campus. She said the Webcast quality is equal to a The idea was to get clear signals to people who can't get the station and increasing student listenership/ JAMIE HOOVER KUGS-FM general manager clearly-recieved broadcast. As a low-power station, KUGS is difficult to receive clearly on campus. Even in the Viking Union, where KUGS broadcasts, Watkins said it is difficult to receive the signal. "KUGS-FM is on the seventh floor of the Viking Union, but down on the sixth floor and in the market they can't listen because the signal is too faint," Watkins said. "Hopefully with the Webcast that will improve." Since the Webcast started, the only problem users have encountered is iTunes not playing the stream, Watkins said. Macintosh computer users will have to download another media player to betable to use the Webcast, she said. Anderson said he hopes increased KUGS exposure through Webcasts will increase student involvement in the station as volunteer DJs and office staff. "The Webcast is part of our ongoing push to bring people into the KUGS community," Anderson said. "So not only do we want to get more students listening to us, but we want to get more students working here." Bill: Los Angeles protests inspire Western, other state universities to take stand Wednesday CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In a December 16, 2005 press release, Larsen said he opposes illegal immigration but sees someproblems withthesustainability of some provisions in the bill. The House passed the bill in December 2005. Included in it are provisions that would make it a felony for U.S. citizens to provide any type of aid to illegal immigrants and would remove federal funding for, any states that refuse to comply with the law. One amendment to the bill calls for the construction of 700 miles of barriers, including double-layer fencing with surveillance, across much of the U.S.Mexico border in California, Arizona and Texas. The bill also calls for a study by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security potentially leading to similar borders on the U.S.-Canada border. The Senate began debating the bill in March. Its version differs from the House bill because it includes developing a guest worker program, which would provide prospective immigrants with easier access to temporary work visas, and move toward citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country. The Western chapter traveled to Arizona for the organization's annual national convention March 25. A massive protest in Los Angeles on March 27 inspired Western members to plan coinciding walkouts with the University of Washington chapter, said Western freshman arid MEChA member, MarTbel Galvan. "It's really just been this past week that things have grown," Galvan said. "We were talking about (the walkout) on the drive up from Phoenix, and by Tuesday, we'd had an emergency planning meeting." In addition to the University of Washington, other state universities, such as Central Washington University, may stage similar events this week, Galvan said.

Dave Engebretson, a Western geology professor, will teach his spring geology seminar class at the center weekly, he said. His students will incorporate the environment in their projects, such as classifying and analyzing rock formations, he said. Geology 101 classes will also use the center during field trips to the arboretum, he said. "The right learning changes everything," -Engebretson said, "In other words, you can learn more about a cumulonimbus cloud by going outside and looking at it than by drawing it on a piece of paper." Facilities management at Western constructed the learning center in fall 2005 in the abandoned rock quarry along the Sehome Trail in the arboretum, east of Western's campus. The center provides opportunities for a variety of teaching methods, such as physically interacting with the environment, Engebretson said, who came up with the idea for the center. It creates the opportunity to observe the surrounding geologic formations, plants and animal life, he said. "The central focus of the project is to enhance student usage of the arboretum for educational and recreational purposes, as well as strengthen ties with the surrounding community," Engebretson said. Twelve backless benches face a low rock platform at the front where teachers or students can lecture. As an additional part of the project, facilities management created new paths along Sehome Trail fall quarter 2005, which improved access from the Communications Facility to East College Way, Engebretson said. The Western Foundation, a group of organizations and individuals who donate to the university, allocated $32,000 for MATT VOGT / THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior Melanie Kelly studies in the outdoor learning center on Sehome Trail behind the Communications Facility. Geology 101 classes will use this area on their field trips throughout spring quarter. the project in spring 2002 after President Karen Morse and Provost of Academic Affairs Andrew Bodman approved the idea in October 2000, Engebretson said. The center is part of an ongoing project Engebretson began in 2000, titled Sehome Hill Arboretum Resource Education, he said. This project focuses on using the arboretum's natural resources for educational purposes, he said. The outdoor learning center is the first physical part of the project. Engebretson has worked with facilities management, Morse and the city of Bellingham to complete the project in fall 2005. His strongest supporters, however, have been his own students, he said. Their dedication to his vision is the driving force behind the project's completion because they helped him develop ideas for the project, he said. Engebretson gathered approximately 75 student volunteers in the past five years through teaching seminar classes and independent study courses in the geology department, he said. The students helped devise models of the center and lay out the area within the rock by the trail, Engebretson said. "I really want the students to take ownership," Engebretson said. Western junior Kathleen Weinand said she has taken three classes at Western, geology 101, biology 101 and physical geography, that have used the arboretum to apply the skills professors teach in the classroom. Weinand has been involved with creating the center, she said. ; "There are lots of classes that take you up in the arboretum," Weinand said. "It will be nice to have a place to sit." Tim Wynn, director of facilities management, managed the construction of the outdoor center. Wynn and Engebretson worked together on the center's configuration, Wynn said. They designed the natural benches to fit in the surrounding landscape but also to be resistant to vandalism and graffiti, he said. "The arboretum is a wonderful asset, anything we can do to enhance its utilization is a wonderful thing," Wynn said.

Cop wrestles bags of pot from dog's mouth A Boston detective searching a suspected drug dealer's apartment, wrestled a sack containing 108 bags of marijuana out of the clenched jaws of a pitbull named Prada. The dog carried the tan-colored bag in his mouth on March 29 as police were searching the apartment, where they found a loaded gun, $ 1,000 cash and marijuana. The bag tore when an officer tried to grab it. Police said they could see bags of marijuana inside the sack in Prada's mouth. Officers locked Prada in a crate and arrested three men.

The victim became suspicious of the drink after he chugged it and vomited four times, police reports said. Mesa was working at a Deltona convenience store when the incident occurred last fall. Police arrested Anthony Mesa, 21, into custody after a short hearing before state Circuit Court Judge James Clayton. Mesa's sentencing is scheduled for a later date, according to a March 30, Orlando Sentinel article. Mesa's attorney said he hopes his client will receive less than a year in the county jail. Naked intruder stuns children Utah police arrested Natalie Peterson, 23, on March 23 when she showed up naked to take a shower in a stranger's home. Police said Peterson wandered into a house after she had been in an argument at a nearby house. She then ordered the three children there to leave "her home." One of the children called police to report an intruder. Officers found Peterson barricaded in a bedroom and in a highly agitated state. Peterson then urinated in her cupped hand and tossed it at police. Police subdued Peterson, who police said, was under the influence of drugs and was transported to a local hospital before being booked into the Weber County Jail. She is facing several misdemeanor charges, including criminal trespassing, assaulting a police officer and propelling a substance onto an officer.

The building, known as Interurban Stages and located at 1327 State St., was constructed in 1930 to house Puget Sound Power and Light Company offices and a bus station, Depot owner Ben Gilmer said. The bus station moved from State Street in 1994 to its current location at 410 Harris Ave. in Fairhaven, leaving the building vacant until the Depot moved in a decade later, Gilmer said. "It has depth of character," Gilmer said. "It's not as manufactured as a lot of other places." Gilmer maintains the original character by displaying photographs of old buses and one photograph of the building as a bus station. Gilmer also included brief history about the former bus station on the back of the menus. Gilmer said construction and renovation lasted nearly eight months and ended Jan. 21, 2005. The construction cost approximately $500,000, Gilmer said. The final renovations included adding seating, tables and two bars, while keeping much of the wood from the original structure, Gilmer said. Rewiring and plumbs ing concluded most of the building renovations. The original 14-foot ceilings, stone floors and brick entry are features that remain from the former bus station. Moceri Construction, who completed the renovation and rebuilding of the structure, altered the three-foot bathroom stalls to comply with the Americans with Disability Act, Moceri carpenter Sean McDonough said. "It was a beautiful space to begin with," McDonough said. Gilmer said he tried to maintain the historical importance of the building by keeping the original architecture intact. "We tried to maintain and reuse every item we found," Gilmer said. "Each space tells a story." Gilmer saved doors that could not stay in their original location to display somewhere else. The tickets sign on the door has moved to the entrance of the restaurant in front of the hostess podium. Gilmer said he discovered a pay machine customers could purchase luggage identity tags in the basement of the building during renovation, which now hangs on one wall of the lounge area. Gilmer added old luggage bags he found at antique stores to emphasize the historical importance of the building's past. Depot server Jenna Abbey directed a customer who thought he was at the former Interurban Stages bus station to the new bus station in Fairhaven, she said. "My mom used to ride this bus when she was going to college here," Abbey said. "When she came to visit I brought her here and she was really excited about the way it looked." , It's common for customers to tell stories from their childhood about waiting for the bus while they drink and dine, Depot prep cook Justin Moody said. "I think that's one of the reasons it's so popular," Moody said. "It has sort of a nostalgic environment and people like that." The original character of the building and the thrill of travel associated with the station are reasons customers come back to the Depot, Gilmer said. He also attributed the Depot's popularity to its PETER THAN / TOE WESTERN FRONT The State Street Depot Bar and Grill opened Jan. 21, 2005 after eight months of renovation and construction. friendly, outgoing staff and the warm environment that he created with rich'wood and dark colors.

Gilmer plans to add pool tables and a dance floor this week in order to expand the night scene at the Depot, and this will make the restaurant section sightly smaller, he said.

Sunday's games at Beliingham High School came down to the last pitches. In the second game of a double- header, Western junior shortstop Chris Peterson hit a two-out, walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the seventh inning in Western's 1-0 victory.

Some sports analysts of the new policy refer to the NFL as the No Fun League. While I agree with the sentiment of sports analysts, I believe any organization that pays its employees to play football is, at least a little bit fun. â€¢This proposal runs contrary to the intent of American professional sports which, by the way, are supposed to entertain.

And I enjoy imagining the possibilities of what celebrations eccentric receivers like me Cincinatti Bengals' Chad Johnson or the Dallas Cowboys' Terrell Owens might come up with next see CELEBRATE, page 10 ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS APRIL 4,2006 Women lose five seniors BY ANDREW LAWRENCE The Western Front When the buzzer sounded in Carver Gym on March 11, it signaled Western women's basketball, team's 70-50 loss to Seattle Pacific University in the West Regional Semifinal of the NCAA Division II Women's National Basketball Tournament. Fourth team All-American and senior forward Tina Donahue took the loss and the end of her Viking career especially hard. " I t was a nightmare," Donahue said. I t was like I was waiting to wake up from a bad dream, it just didn't seem real.'' Though not the conclusion the team wanted, the loss did not overshadow all they have accomplished mis season, senior guard Samantha Hubbard said. The women's basketball team hosted the West Regional Tournament because they won the regular season conference championship. . "The season is not defined by March," she said. The team won the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championship with a 17-0 record and a 27-2 overall record. The team won a school-record 21 straight games and won more than 20' games for the ninth consecutive season. Hosting the NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Regional Tournament was the highlight of the season, Hubbard said. 'We worked hard to get it, and we really had to do everything right up to that point," Hubbard said. Last season's momentum carried into mis season, Hubbard said.. The Vikings finished last season with a 24-5 record and reached the West Regional Tournament. They returned five seniors to the court, including Donahue, Hubbard, center Courtney Clapp, center Stephanie Dressel and guard Kelly Dykstra. One of their greatest strengths came from the sideline, Dykstra said. ._, ...... "The coaches are just amazing women," Dykstra said. "The most upsetting thing at the end of mis season was not being able to doit for them. It's devastating." The GNAC named head coach Carmen Dolfo coach of the year after the Vikings clinched the No. 1 seed at the West Regional Tournament "Everything they did prepared us and gave us the ability to win," Hubbard said. Reading the coaches' scouting reports of opponents before each game was essential to the team's success because it broke down each of the Viking's opponents, Hubbard said. Several players were honored individually, such as Donahue's; selection as GNAC Player PHOTO COURTESY OF PAUL MADISON Western senior and fourth-team all-american Tina Donahue shoots around a Central Washington University defender at the Showdown in the Sound on Dec. 17,2005. Western defeated Central 87-55 in Seattle. of the Year and being named a fourth-team NCAA Division II All-American Team, Hubbard said. "It was one of my best years," Donahue said. Another excellent performance came from senior Courtney Clapp. Clapp was a second-team GNAC all-star and Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 26 through March 4. One challenge the team faces is the loss of five seniors, almost half of the team, including Donahue and Clapp. "When I was a junior, we had just lost a lot of players, but we started out winning 15 straight," Dykstra said. "Though some people think it's a rebuilding year, the team will step up." Because me team utilized a deep bench, next year should be an easy transition, since the younger players received a lot of playtime, Donahue said.

Celebrate: Committee robbing fans CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Idon'tmeantosay some celebrations aren'tmappropriateor lame. But natural consequences from players, coaches and media can curb infractions. Owens once scored a touchdown in Dallas and ran 50 yards to the star in the middle of the field, only to be blindsided by an angered Cowboy player. This type of thing has a way of settling itself out And clearly, Dallas wasn't too .upset over the exaggerated celebration anymore considering they signed Owens to a multi-year contract in March. Coaches can lay out what is and isn't acceptable for their players, and they don't need the league to step in. Why outlaw team celebrations? Touchdown celebrators didn't need more reason to act as an individual. Now the NFL is making it mandatory. Nothing says team more than the entire offense forming a conga line in the back of the end zone. Banning celebrations on the ground puts an end to snow angels, canoe paddling and the worm. I don't understand why celebrating on the ground is such a hotly contested issue with the committee, anyway. Is there a gray area? I mean, do both knees have to be on the ground? Is it like the rules for being down, can you keep celebrating if only a hand touches the ground? Props seem excessive, but they don't harm anything. Phis, the opportunities are endless. I wouldn't mind a player incorporating an abacus. Or players could start leaving a rose or an ace of spades as their calling card, much like flooding a basement to let someone know they were robbed by the Wet Bandits. "Who just caught mat touchdown? Oh, I see an original copy of 'Great Expectations.' It must have been Antonio Gates." Johnson spoke about using a live deer in a celebration after scoring a touchdown. A live deer! Fans won't accept someone merely spiking the ball after we've been tempted with the idea of Bambi running around the end zone. Sure, the competition committee is going to still allow spiking and high fives, not to mention smiling, tipping one's helmet and sitting quietly on the bench. But that stuff has the personality of a doorstop. Fans shouldn't accept mis downgrade in entertainment. How am I supposed to stand up and cheer for^omeone handing the ball to the official when I was told I get to see live animals? The worst part of the proposal is it doesn't provide punishments for celebrations mat are unoriginal or flat- out boring. - This means running back Shaun Alexander can go on rocking babies and pretending to fish, while more creative players aren't allowed to act out scenes from 'Scarjace" or charm snakes. I'm sure Shaun is at home right now practicing his new celebration, "filling out the W-2." NFL fern should protest tiiis stifling new policy by celebrating after they, achieve any sort of success in their lives. In this protest we may be lucky enough to see some defiant fan with a taste for irony perform the arbitrary tasks which become fodder for NFL players and their celebrations, such as answering the phone or changing a diaper, and then stand triumphant over a newly domed infant and pretend to catch a touchdown. Binding the hands of these celebrators, which otherwise could be used to raise roofs, with these new guidelines eliminates a harmless yet exciting feature of the game. With these new rule changes die Not as much Fun League has effectively shot itself in the foot, which, if someone could find a safe way to do it, would make a heck of a celebration. Sadly, we may never get to see someone try. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 11 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 regime as BY BRADY HENDERSON The Western Front When Western's football team takes the field for its season opener against Humboldt State University Aug. 31, the team may be difficult to recognize. Players said the team will move from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference to the tougher North Central Conference. Players will sport new dark blue helmets, and will play their home games at the newly renovated Civic Stadium. More importantly, the team will have a new head coach. Long-time Western head coach Rob Smith, who resigned last December after compiling a record of 109 wins in 17 seasons, is out. Former Vikings' assistant coach Robin Ross, who returns to Western after 10 years to become the 13th head coach in the program's 95- year history, is in. The opportunity to be the head coach was his main reason for returning to Western, Ross said. "(Western) is a great university," Ross said. "I enjoy the people." In his first head coaching job, Ross takes over a team eager to improve last year's 4-6 season record, and 3-3 in conference. The team hopes Ross' emphasis on defense will improve a weakness. He will serve as the defensive coordinator as well, Ross said. Last year, the Vikings gave up "28T8rpointsper game on theirway to its third losing season under Smith. This year, junior outside linebacker Shane Simmons, a first-team all- GNAC selection last year, will lead the defense, Simmons said. "We have a lot to improve from last year," Simmons said. "I think we've got the guys to do it. We got a new look and we're excited to get out on the field. We want to win." Ross is switching back to a 4-3 defense after the team moved to a 3-4 defense midway through last season. The team is optimistic this move will help them utilize their TAYLOR WILLIAMS / THE WESTERN FRONT Western head football coach Robin Ross observes his football players stretch before Monday's running session on the Turf Field north of the Wade King Recreation Center. Ross took over for former head coach Rob Smith on Dec. 15. speed, said James Day, a junior outside linebacker who started six games for the Vikings last year. A 4-3 defense will help Western use their speed to better defend teams in the NCC, Day said." "We've got some pretty fast guys," Day said. "We're gonna use our team speed and fly around and make plays." So far this offseason, Ross and his coaching staff like what they have seen from the players in the weight room and in conditioning drills, Ross said. Offensive coordinator and strength and conditioning coach Eric Tripp said players set more than 151 individual records during the winter weight lifting and workouts. "I like the attitude of the team," Ross said. "We had a good quarter. They've been working hard." Ross spent two seasons as the Vikings' defensive coordinator in 1994 arid 1995.' In 1994, Ross' defense allowed the fewest points of any National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division U school, ranked third nationally in rushing defense and fifth in total defense. The team claimed its first ever national playoff victory in 1994, defeating top-ranked Linfield College 21-2. In 1995, the Vikings finished 9-1 with an undefeated regular season. They spent five weeks as the top-ranked team in the nation and finished the season ranking seventh nationally in scoring defense. Before joining the Vikings as head coach, Ross was the linebackers coach for the National Football League's Oakland Raiders in 2000, when the Raiders went "12-4"and firiisHed with the league's ninth ranked defense. ' The Raiders lost the AFC Championship game to the Baltimore Ravens. As the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach at the University of Oregon from 2001 to 2004, Ross helped the Ducks win the Pac-10 championship in 2001. He spent last season coaching linebackers at Oregon State University, where the Beavers ranked first in the Pac-10 in rushing defense. Ross gave his players more responsibility regarding issues affecting the team. He set up a player's council with elected players from each position, both offensively and defensively. The council makes decisions regarding what uniform combinations to wear on game days and how the football program will spend its money, Day said. "It's about being a team," senior quarterback James Monrean said. "I think it's real cool that (Ross) has let us be involved in some of the decisions being made." While Ross is taking steps to improve the team, his impact on his players stretches beyond the playbook. Players describe Ross as a player's coach, personable and easy to talk to. Ross has focused on getting to know his players and building team unity with help from, the player's council. "He wants to be involved, not only in the football aspect but in the players' lives," senior . defensive tackle Ryan Lucas said. Ross wants the team to be more involved in the community as well. Players visited Geneva Elementary in Bellingham to read to children, talk about the importance of reading and to warn them of the dangers of using steroids. Ross has made a number of public speaking engagements regarding Western's football program around the state since the school hired him and plans to schedule an autograph day and a canned food drive, he said. "We're developing leadership not only on the team but in the community as well," Tripp said. As for switching to the highly competitive NCC, the team is up to the task of playing in the toughest conference in Division II football, players said. The team realizes not many fans and critics of the NCC believe they can win because they are playing in an elite conference against some of the nation's best teams, including Division II playoff participant the University of North Dakota, Lucas said.

Disney is the parent company of ESPN, a national broadcast baseball partner, according to a March 30 New York Times article. Conflict of interest? Gertainly. Mitchell is simply too close for comfort. Selig should hire an outsider to investigate, much like investigator John Dowd's bulldog approach to nail baseball's all-time hits leader Pete Rose for gambling on baseball 13 years ago. The investigation seems as phony as a presidential campaign promise. Selig is striking out in his efforts to clean up. he can't take charge oifuiis issue if he doesn't investigate. If he pursues with his inquiry, it will be too little, too late. Selig, desperate to reshape baseball's image, can only blame himself. He knew the game had a problem long before former Baltimore Oriole first baseman Rafael Palmeiro wagged his finger at Congress in March 2005 to say shame on Congress for prying into baseball's dark secret. Palmeiro told Congress m the 2005 hearings that he never used steroids, m July, 2005 he tested positive for steroids. He knew long before former MLB all-star Jose Canseco's 2005 book detailed players' -rampant steroid use, including Palmeiro's. Paitheiro. shamelessly denied using steroids, even-;after he tested pdsitiVein August 2005^ according to aC March 30^ ESPN.com article; ' '':F/â€¢i;; V e percent of Major League B a s e b a l l players tested positive for steroids during the 2003 season, according to aNov. 13,2003 Sports Illustrated article. Why didn't the investigation start then? It's simple, actually. The money from fans rolls in as long as major league baseball t e am s keep shortening their fences and turning their ballparks into launching pads for baseball's chemically enhanced cheaters. Barry Bonds, the self-proclaimed "media scapegoat," denied using steroids, and opened of hall of fame outfielder Hank Aaron's major league record of 755 home runs. Bonds is the subject of the book, "Game 's legacy of Shadows: Barry Bonds, Balco and the Steroids Scandal That Rocked Professional Sports," based on a two-year investigation written by San Francisco Chronicle reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. The Union-Tribune Publishing Co. released the book March 23. The book included court documents, affidavits investigators filed, documents federal agents wrote and interviews with more than 200 witnesses, according to a March 8 Seattle Times article. The book's, release finally forced Selig to open an investigation. Any legitimacy Bonds' career had before the book's release, sunk to the bottom of San Francisco's McCovey's Cove â€” where most of Bonds' home runs belong. Even if Bonds doesn't hit another home run or breaks Aaron's record, everyone will question his statistics legitimacy. It seems they're not. Bonds would be well-advised to accept responsibility for cheating and then lying about it, and quietly walk away from the game. But Bonds won't. He knows Selig's and Mitchell's investigation is harmless. Bonds could surpass Aaron in one of the more disturbing scenes in sports history. Robbing a legend from his coveted record.

Brooklyn's Capla Kesting Fine Art gallery will display a life-size sculpture of Spears nude and pregnant as part of an anti-abortion art exhibit beginning April 7, according to a March 28 USA Today article. This sculpture, "The Birth of Sean Preston," could be the most innovative piece of art in the 21st century due to its graphic nature in depicting a celebrity. According to a March 22 article on the gallery's Web site, Daniel Edwards, 40, lovingly sculpted the pop princess in her natural state because he found her beauty intriguing. Now seriously, how many times can someone use that as a cover story for making a life-sized statue of sorneone viewed as America's trashiest teen idol? And sculpt her stark naked, kneeling in the doggy- style sex position, on a bearskin rug with her ass in the air, pushing a baby's head out of her vagina? Edwards is breaking down the barriers between .'politics,, art and entertainment like a Sherman tank at a peace rally. Edwards said his piece is not political, despite it reflecting such a hot issue as anti-abortion, according to a March 28 Yahoo.com news article. The'-article^lis^'Omtftpntoyersial sculptures Edwards has created in thepast, proving he is strictly in this for artistic expression and is not staging a publicity stunt. Such pieces include the decapitated head of a man who wasciyogenically ^ frozen after death. Edwards said" the invasive tabloid and niagazihe â€¢stories covering Spears' pregnstncy was a catalyst for Ms creatidn, according to a March 30 New York Times article. He said he couldn't find a better model to represent me hard decision of choosing between a career and family, especially since celebrities rarely step out of the spotlight to have children at such a young age. ;;' While anti-aboirtion activists have responded with thousands of hostile e-mails in response to Spears' image1 involveirteiot, they failed to realize she is not partaking in the media attention. According toy the Times article, Spears' spokeswoman refused to issue a statement on the subject. A Spears publicist also denied an interview request from The Associated Press. Edwards told the media Spears was not even aware of the sculpture when he began making it. Spears serves as a quintessential role model because,, despite an embarrassing, rushed wedding after tabloids spread word about her pregnancy, the 24-year-old singer J^STINY l^pttjphetic connection between Spears'song titles and her life "Dear Diary" WmNoi A Girl NotYet A Woman" "Anticipating" "Boys" "Satisfaction" "Where Are You Now?" immmmmmmmmmiÂ® still decided to have her baby.

Only 13 students have filed to run for the seven positions on next year's Associated Student board of directors, and two candidates are currently running unopposed. Perhaps worse for student government and campus discussion, 11 applicants currently work for or with the AS. How can Western students expect the next board of directors to disperse its approximately $2 million budget, made completely of student money, to represent student needs and concerns if no new candidates run? A government controlled by a small group isolated from its voters. Sound familiar? -â€¢.- .,*-..,â€¢â€¢ New candidates are needed to bring fresh ideas to our student government. Current board members ran on a platform with specific ideals and goals to accomplish. Now running for re-election, they will undoubtedly continue to focus on those same issues. The board needs fresh candidates to bring ideas beyond lower book prices and improved transportation. The horse is dead, so quit beating it. However, the lack of student involvement is partly the AS' fault. The AS needs to better advertise its positions. Members say they tm^ want more students to run, but how many students knew the deadline was Thursday? Western junior and AS election coordinator Brian Perfow said most students don't know board members are paid and more would apply if they did. What have they done to educate students besides advertising in their own newspaper, The AS Review? It's hard to believe the board of directors is unbiased in its advertising with four members on this year's board and 11 AS members run for election. Why solicit competition? The more the AS advertises and the more candidates that file, the better the AS will serve students. The wider variety of candidates, the **" wider the variety of views. While experienced candidates offer intimate knowledge of how the AS works, re-electing the status quo hardly constitutes a healthy democratic government. New candidates can learn quickly and their newer views outweigh their inexperience. If any student feels the AS needs to tackle an issue, that student needs to get out there, collect the 150 signatures necessary and file for election. Otherwise, the AS will continue its empty promises to lower book prices and improve transportation.

And we quote: "The secret to creativity is knowing how to conceal your sources." â€”Albert Einstein, physicist Sweet spring BY BRADLEY THAYER Assorted Flavors Spring quarter is here and I don't know about you, but I feel warm and fuzzy for multiple reasons. First and foremost, getting back from spring break makes it easy for all of us conversationally challenged people out there. If. you see someone you wouldn't normally spill your guts to, a loose acquaintance, perhaps, you have an automatic conversation starter. Simply say, "How was your spring .' break?" It's like Spaghetti-O's. Just pop it in the microwave and you're good to go. Except it isn't nearly as satisfying. In fact, it's pretty dull. Generally, you'll receive one of three responses: A. Dude, it was sick. I got so drunk I don't even remember what country I was in. B. Pretty low key, just hung out at home with my family. C. It sucked, my girlfriend dumped me. I went to a funeral with my family and the next day I went skiing hung over. I started puking on the chairlift, fell off, broke both legs and my left arm. My right ski punctured my liver and damaged it so badly it ~ can't function, and now I can never drink again. Then, a bear came out from behind a tree and mistook my ass for a beehive. That last response isn't dull and you laugh about it later over a beer with friends, but you feel bad. The weather improves this quarter, right? Well, I don't mean to defecate on your birthday cake, but I assure you it won't. I am not saying girls won't start dressing in tighter, fruit-bearing clothing. They will, and I look forward to that. But, they'll be fooling themselves into believing the weather has improved. We liye in Bellirigham. The weather is gorgeous in the summer, not thespring. During the academic year, the sky mostly sports some shade of gray. Notice how it rained on the first day of classes? A few sunny days will pepper this 'The weather improves this quarter, right? Well, I don't mean to defecate on your birthday cake, but I assure you it won't. I am hot saying girls won't start dressing in tighter, fruit-bearing clothing. They will, and I look forward to that.' quarter, but I'm still packing a poncho. Another great thing about spring is everyone begins individual pushes to get in shape for the summer. If I knocked it, I'd be a hypocrite. Spring is a great excuse to work out. I tried getting in shape last quarter by running daily, but I treated it likeJdid- Lentas asyouHg Catholic. Everybody in the church tries yearly to imitate what Jesus when he fasted in the desert for 40 days by giving something up. Josh Hartnett gave up sex in "40 Days and 40 Nights." One time I gave up cussing and I started out with the best, honest intentions. I lasted three weeks. Then I said: "eff that shit," and used the excuse I'm surprised more people don't use â€” "Well, I gave it a fair shot. Guess Jesus was a better man thanl." This quarter, things are even looking up for me academically, but the usual pitfalls still exist. The main _ one is fourth-floor classes. Whose bright idea was it to make buildings on campus this tall in the first place? When I first saw that I had a class in Room 420 of the Communications Facility, I laughed. I was ecstatic. I thought it was the greatest thing since Smucker's put peanut butter and jelly in the same jar. But after I walked four flights of stairs on the first day, I wanted to die. My chest heaved and I slowly began to fall backward before I grabbed the railing and dragged myself up the final steps. I could take the elevator, but I've tricked my lazy ass into thinking I have a phobia so I get some exercise. If I witness an elevator open to completion, whichever floor it stops on next is the number of days I have left to live. Needless to say, if you see someone running and screaming away from an elevator, it's me. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Another bright spot for me was the absence of a 700-milUon-foot line at the bookstore â€” I didn't have to wait two hours to fork over half my life's savings. I even narrowly avoided taking an 8 a.m. class. As I dropped it, I swear the clouds in the sky parted, choruses of angels sang and I was consumed with a bright, warm light. Spring quarter is a new beginning like newborn bunnies. That's what. I picture when I think spring. I say be the bunnies, start fresh and make copious amounts of love to what is clearly.the best quarter of the academic year here at Western. ---------- Western Front 2006-04-04 - Page 15 ---------- APRIL 4,2006 OPINIOISJS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢15 Absolutei You've got^ kidding.

Release of Abu Ghraib photos jfopaixlizes troop s i f i^ BY Bows KURBANOV The Western Front Pictures may be worth more man a thousand words after all, ifme U.S. government doesn't act soon. The Bush administration V efforts to suppress disturbing images of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison came to a halt March 28, after a court order required the Department of Defense to turn over photographs and videos documenting the abuse, according to a March 29 CNN.com article. The decision is the resuh of an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit against the department in October 2003. The ACLU wanted the department to release documents related to abuse of detaineesheld m U.S. custody aoioad, according to an Aiig. 13,2005, Washington Post article. The right to freedom of information overturned me claim that me release ofthe photos wc gt;uldtanu^tlte nation's image and fuelterrorism if me govenirnent released the pictures. After the release of the infamous Abu Ghraib photos in May 2004, the American liberators became worse than the Iraqi dictators in the eyes of the international community. Critics of the decision, such as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers, warned the department that releasing photos and videotapes of detainee abuse and torture at Abu Ghraib aids al-Qaeda recruitment, weakens the new government in Iraq and incites riots against U.S. troops, according to the Washington Post article. Myers is right What makes abetter recruitment poster for terrorists than a picture of a hooded prisorier hooked to electrical wires? The release of the photos is not a victory for the public's right.to know about theabuseof detainees held in U.S. custody abroad, Images such as these jeopardize the security ofU.S. troops and the security ofthe United States by giving terrorists an excuse to kill Americans. The: media shouldbe more discreet about rdeasing photos that only help America's enemies' causes around the world. International media outlets, such as Al-Jazeera, have sensationalized the Ami Ghraib scandal.

She doesn't set a particularly high moral standard for her younger female fans regarding premarital sex either. It's hard for Spears to overcome the eternally- : pubescent teen idol image her critics bind her to. For years, Spears sang about the heartache of trying to gain acceptance as a mature, grown woman. Songs such as "Overprotected" or "I'm â€” Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" illustrate a mature woman, desperate to find her place in an adult world foreign to her. Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts. 'Nothing shouts womanhood like stretch marks and heaving lactiferous breasts.' Sure, a baby and stroller show she is responsible enough to sustain another human life for more than a week, but the sculpture is also about her incomplete quest for womanhood. How could her opponents deny her the chance to show off . . her widened hips, bulging stomach and maternal figure? Edwards' art shows that Spears is a slave to no one. Not to her parents, the media and certainly, not to traditional ideologies of â€”â€”â€”â€” post-marital pregnancy. In fact, she is an inspiration and should be celebrated the way Edwards embraced her in his art. As she sang in her 2000 hit "Stronger," she is stronger than yesterday; her loneliness isn't killing her any more. Restraint: Pictures endanger U.S. soldiers CONTINUED FROM PAGE 15 prying into the Middle East for its own economic and political interests. Images of Army Pfc. Lynndie England, one of the U.S. soldiers now famous for her role in the abuse at Abu Ghraib, pointing at a man's genitals or giving a thumbs-up behind a pyramid of naked bodies tarnishes America's image with Iraqis, with Muslims and with the rest of the world. If Iraqi insurgents took American soldiers as prisoners, they would-be unlikely to treat them humanely knowing the Bush administration has no regard for the rights of prisoners. President George W. Bush's dismal 36 percent approval rating, according to a March 14 Gallup Poll, and the public's increasing uneasiness with the war in Iraq have not gone unnoticed by insurgents and terrorists. They want the growing political opposition at home to force Bush to call for withdrawal of troops. The media should consider censoring such images to respect the bravery of the men and women of the U.S. military who are fighting and dying to protect the nation. Networks that broadcast these photos should keep the troops' safety and well-being in mind. Bush's failures in Iraq may adversely affect the troops, but overemphasizing the images can only lead to a lengthening of the quagmire in Iraq. The success of the American war effort in Iraq crucially depends on retaining public support in the United States and winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi citizens. The images leaked from Abu Ghraib are undennining that task and the military's ability to convince Iraqis to support the United States' plan for democracy in the already unstable country.

By WALT BAKER ...After last week's bit of sticking my neck out about this and that and the other thing, I'll start this week's LOOK by relating a humorous incident that really happened to a student of the University of Notre Dame recently . ..It seems that this fellow, back in the year 1940 heeded a job and applied to several concerns in the city of Chicago ..Just picture a neatly dressed freshman business ad major trooping into the office of an intended employer ..The interview went something like this Y. M. _... I understand you have an opening for a third assistant ink salesman? Employer. (Very busily fussing with papers) "Have you a PH. D., L. L. D. and a Phi Beta Kappa key? Y. ML "No, I ah Employer: Sorry, we employ no one unless he has at least two degrees. TIME AS USUAL STAGGERS ON. Neatly dressed young man entering office....(same one). ....Employer Come right in! How does that chair fit? ..Your salary will be $300.00 per month and you'll work a five day a week schedule. Hours from 10 a. m. to 3 p. m., with two'hours off for lunch. ..We'll also furnish traveling expenses to and from your home. .What do you say? Y. ML Well swell, but I ? Employer. You'll have two pri- -vate ^secretaries- and an air conditioned office. Y. ML "Well, I..._„: ? Employer............We'll even throw in an unlimited gasoline card and a cream convertible and eight brand new tires! Y. M. That'd be swell, and I'd like to accept/ but I just came down to tell you that I'm leaving for the army next week. (You had to use your imagination a little, but it gives one a general idea of conditions.) DEAD END: Last weekend will go down as one of the events that will be hard to forget in life here at Western Washington Saturday evening, your scribe and the majority of Hospice's population, including the women, hopped into our transportation vehicle, and journeyed out to the summer home of JOHN ROBERT GERMAIN, located at Neptune Beach A good evening salt water swim opened-the proceedings, followed by a beach fire party, with heaps of potato salad, sandwiches, chicken and ice cold drinks .This was followed with songs, recorded music, story telling,, etc. The next morning a swim before a breakfast of hot stacks, etc. Climax of the weekend was that excellent barbecued salmon of MR/GERMAIN'S (I cartt go on.) By the way, the Germain place is tabbed, "Dead End." AMERICA AND COLLEGE God built a, continent with glory, filled with treasures untold. He bedecked it with soft rolling^ pairiles and pillared it with thundering mountains. He studded it with flowing fountains,-and encompassed : it with long winding streams. He graced it with deep and shaclpwed forests and glistening blue wates. • These treasures';would have meant, littleif myriads^nf people^ the bray-je^ t; ^ races^ h #£ $rii^^ Carter £omes Tuesday Juanita Carter, American soprano, will appear in Tuesday's assembly. Born in Frankfort, Kentucky, Miss Carter has been singing since she was four, and when she was thirteen, she took up music as a career. Studying in New York under Oscar Seagle and later with Nadia Boulanger, she has sung with many oratorio societies and in concert. Miss Carter was the leading soprano with the Philadelphia Opera Company, and has appeared with the Boston Symphony, the' National Symphony Orchestra, and the CBS .orchestra, under Howard Barlow. Next Friday's assembly is the dance recital by Eleanor King. Remedial Meet Big Success The conference on the Education of Exceptional Children, which was held here last Thursday and Friday, July 6 and 7, was well attended by college students and educators, from off the campus. The conference was sponsored by the state department in cooperation with the college. Those who attended report that it was all very interesting and decidedly worth-while. At 10 o'clock on the first day, President Haggard gave the address of welcome, followed by the singing of the National anthem, led by Don Bushell., Miss Emma Erickson gave a" brief overview of the conference. Mr. E. L. Lindman of the state department told of the individual differences in children. Mrs. Beryl Bruff of Lowell School accepted the challenge for the schools of the state of Washington.

''"'" " Much Needed Staff Directory Board Under Construction Do you know where to find the office of your history teacher? If a visitor asked you, could you direct him to librarian's office or the office of the janitor? Nearly every student on the campus has at one time been in this embarrassing predicament, where he cannot locate a particular faculty member. For the past three years plans have been projected for a guide which would solve the problem. Though none of these plans ma- , terialized, a start on a "directory was made this spring by Lorna Jean Booras and Marilyn Anderson, WW Collegian staff members. This summer another staf member, Pat Bellingharn, is working on this catalogue of offices. Upon completion, the directory, which will be of wood construction, will carry the names and office numbers of ail faculty and administrative assistants, listed alphabetically, under department "headings. As. now planned, the directory will be placed inside the entrance to the main building on the left hand side of the stairway., Next Industrial Trip To Plywood Plant The next industrial tripwill be taken through the Plwood plant on Tuesda^ afternoon, July 18th.

Dr. Haggard, stated he felt the group would wait until after the November elections before furthering their plans.' Included in the budget plans were allotments for the proposed new buildings on the campus.

With no more warning than an almost inaudible swish, a portion of Mt. Baker swooped down upon an unexpecting party of young collegiate hikers. When the slide had completed its mission of death, a count of the party revealed that six of its members were missing. JULIUS DORNBLUT, ALICE JAMES, MAYNARD HOWATT, HOPE WEIT- .MAN, VENE FISHER, and BEULAH LINDBERG did not answer roll call which was sounded off .by hike leaders, ,L. A. McGee, Chet Ullin and Don Cross. They were dead. Death is a five letter word that means a lot. Not only does it mean just dying, but what after that. Those six young people, climbing Mt. Baker, full of happy thoughts, didn't want to die, but that's the way death is. You never know. That's why out of due respect and in memory of those people, we, who are still alive, should think more about the meaning of the word. Maybe it's just fear that doesn't let us think too strongly on the subject. If it is fear that does it, let it be so. For it is not a fear that deprives one of the use of his reason, but rather o fear that clarifies the atmosphere of the mind and sharpens the powers of reason itself. It is not fear that causes the mind to be "sicklied" with the pale cast of thought, but rather the mind that has become sluggish through unrestrained passion, the mind of the person that adopts the philosophy of eat, drink and be merry, but without the thought that tomorrow one may die. He is satisfied to know that he is alive and well. He rarely reflects on why he is at all or on what is the An architect's plans of a Memorial for those students who lost their lives on the slopes of Mt. Baker five years ago are now almost completely fulfilled. Situated on the hillside between Edens Halland the administrative building on the Campus, this memorial lacks only the addition of mountain shrubbery and the bronze name plates. Name placques for the six students will be placed on the inside of the rock wall which has been so designed as4o form a bench. Bronze, which will be used'for the plates will not be purchased until after the war. The memorial has been planned with the thought that students will use the memorial as a place for lounging, sun bathing, or studying.

Ruckmick, who was a member of The memory of those six young people will live long in the hearts of the faculty and the school. You just don't forget things such as that. A memorial has been erected to commemorate the occasion of their deaths. Whenever you pass that memorial, today and any other day, but today especially, just mutter a prayer for the six students, whose names will be placed on separate plaques as soon as the war ceases.

Dr. Grim conducted a tour of the whole Campus Elementary School Building before luncheon.l The afternoon session was a Workshop in the Problems of Hearing and a Workshop in the Problems of Speech. The conference was adjourned at 5 o'clock. Tragic Outing Remembered Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mt. Baker tragedy, which killed six former members of the student body during a summer quarter hike up the steep slopes of the mountain. The accident occurred on a Sunday morning in the month of July, The party of 25 WWC students were trudging their way along beneath the Roman Wall on the last stage of the hike. Six of the party were swept to their death with only two bodies being recovered. As it gathered up momentum the avalanche gave no quarter and swallowed all twenty-five members of the group. Early reports had it that the six victims were in a group when struck were discounted by stories of the survivors, who told of the almost selecting nature of the disaster. The body of Alice James, then president of Edens Hall, was located at the foot of a forty-foot icy overhang, while the body of former Collegian editor, Julius Dornblut was discovered in a crevasse some hundred feet beyond the cliff of ice.

Remedial Courses Headed by Catey Joining the faculty of WWC last fall as an instructor in Remedial Education, Mrs. Waneta S. Catey divides her time at WWC working with the teachers and student teachers in the city, as well as with college classes. WWC has extended the program courses for the teacher who wishes to be certified as a remedial instructor since last fall. Mrs. Catey previously was associated with the Illinois State Normal University, at Normal, Illinois. A graduate of the Colorado College of Education, she is especially trained in the teaching of exceptional children. To the remedial teacher, an exceptional child is one who "deviates from the average or so-called normal child in mental, physical, emotional or social characteristics and abilities to the degree that they .require specialized care or instruc-. tion in order to attain the maximum of their abilities or capacities." more red cross (Continued from Page One) entertain or be usable by men who are gt; convalescing in army and navy hospitals.

Berg Acquits Himself With Glory. S Returns to Bellingham After Delightful Vacation in the South. Campus Day, on its second annual occurrence, was by all odds the £• most successful event of the school year. The spirit of the students was ?;• excellent, and co-operation between everyone produced a "spick and A span*' Campus. The program of fun beginning with the eight o'clock 5 assembly and lasting through the theater part at the American, was ; -packed with enjoyment for all. | ;; Festivities began with the assembly at 8:00, when the hit of the day ; was made, namely the burlesque given by "Six Glowing Boys", featur- ; i n g the prettiest sets of legs among the male gender. The staff, under ^Generalissimo Berg, was introduced among, various flourishes. After ••general instructions the army was properly equipped and turned loose on the waste arid debris. The picnic' at noon was a caloric as well as a palatable success. Full justice was done all "grub". ; "/ Another assembly at one o'clock : : set everyone for the afternoon -y.'; sports. These took place on Wal- -; do Field and were a "riot" of fun g for all. The ball games between ;; students and faculty for both men and women aroused deep hostilities and the bloody battles were Hard fought, fast and furious. An excellent program of sports contests under the direction of Dorothy Irvin and Miss Keller kept everyone happy all afternoon. Feature attractions included the stupendous bicycle race between faculty members, Mr. Bond proving the betting favorite. Ben Hur's only rivals and equals set the crowd positively "mad" with the daring, killing, and side-splitting Chariot Race. What might be called a Relay Carnival was staged by competing groups of the students, it was at least composed largely of relay .contests and games The winners, although of doubtful ability and deservance, were awarded balloons with squawkers that certainly squawked. An evening with Reginald Denny and various varieties of student foolishness provided the grand climax at the American Theater. Romeo and Juliet heart-rendingly re-enacted the fetching balcony scene and brought the house into tears, tiers upon tiers of laughter. The embryo tragedians were great stuff, as comedians. There were various sundry and "Sundstrom" rumors that Campus Day officially at least, began during the wee small hours of the night before. Both class presidents were able to be about on Campus Day, so it has been assumed that no serious casualties were entailed. BERG REFEREES Mr. TJerg was referee of a Boy Scout encampment at Woodland Park in Seattle the past week-end. Demonstration of a complete camp.equipment was given. On Saturday, the boys participated in a Field Day. Two thousand scouts attended the meet. E E AREJNNOUNCED Successful Contestants Will Meet Last Quarter's Winners Assembly May 20. M OFFERED Course Will Be Supplemented by Field Trips to Places for Good Composition. Miss Crawford Now Recovering From Illness in Sanitarium Pupils and teachers in the training school were very glad to see Miss Crawford back last week after an absence of several weeks. She found however, that she was not strong enough yet to take over her old duties, so is now recuperating in Rest Haven Sanitarium, Sj'dney, B. 0. Mrs. Whitmore is taking Miss Crawford's place for the rest of this quarter. o Miss Edens Has Written Another Successful Story . Miss Edens is the author of a story, "Heart and Hand," appearing f in the June McCall's Magazine. Reviewing the contents of the current ; issue, the publishers comment as foll o w s : ; ; " I n addition to short stories by :; such well-known authors as Fannie ;rHea!slip Lea, Frank E. Vemey, Vir- Sginia B. Reynolds, and Olive "Edens," jthe June issue will contain (etc)." ; lt; ;"Heart and Hand" is a story of v-theiWest, in fact, it centers in Ana- 'cortes, on Puget Sound. Miss Edens oJsaid: "Every story "which I have 8^;5,K ?«: sold has as its background the Puget |fgf| ;3p^Sound region. 'Rhododendrons,' a ^ ^ | | l | s t o r y of the Cypress Islands, has re- ^ ^ ® ^ c e n t l y ; been accepted by a syndicate." ^ ^ g l p ^ ^ ^ t r o p o l i t a n , .Pictorial .Review,;' and Miss Rich returned Monday morning from a delightful vacation in California. She says that is was pleasant from a recreational and a professional point of view. She met a number of friends with whom she had worked at the School of Education, University of Chicago, who are now on the faculty of the U. of California at Berkeley. She attended the Mission play with them, at San Gabriel. ' There were friends and interesting experiences at every stop. Miss Rich visited the appointment bureaus at the University of California, at Los Angeles, and Stanford, gathering ideas which will tend toward making the work of the bureau here of greatest use to the students. Miss Rich says that California is a delightful place to play in, but she would rather work in Bellingham. She has come back convinced that we have something to do here, and that what we are tiying to do follows the best lines of philosophy and science of education. The course in photography, which was given for the first time last summer, will be offered again this summer quarter. The course is a two period a week laboratory course designed mainly for the study of photography from the standpoint of the amateur and will take in all phases of photographic work. Two credits will be given for the course. The fee will be about one dollar and a quarter which will cover the cost of material used. Mr. Ruckmick plans to divide the class into groups and each group will work out a certain phase of work in the photographic line which will be amplified by supplementary reading material. There will be a few field trips to places which will be good composition for landscape photography. All of the possibilities of the surrounding district that will lend themselves to amateur photography .will be- used. The training school shop has been equipped with a new enlarging machine, also a new automatic printer. Students will get experience in making enlargements and a few lessons on the way in which the printing of photographs is accomplished. They will also study the making of sepia-tones on photographs and the use and compounding of developing solutions such. as might be done at home by amateurs. The victors in extempore preliminaries held Tuesday evening, were as folloAvs: June Wetherell, Grace Jac-obson, Borghild Jensen, August Zoet, Edward Dingerson, and Leonard Kep-pler. Their topics were: "The Nation's Chief Asset," "The Nation's First Citizen," "The Greatest Living American." Mrs. Vaughan, Miss Ullin, Miss Spieseke, Mr. iKibbe, and Miss Madden judged the contest. The six speakers will compete in today's assembly. Three topics will be conservative; three radical. From this group, three will be eliminated, and three will compete with the winners of last quarter's extempore contest in assembly, May 20. NOTICE—RECITAL Miss Byrd Elliott, violinist; Miss May Taylor, contralto; will appear in recital at the Garden St. M. E. church on Tuesday evening, May 24, 8:15 o'clock.

Beethoven's well-known Moonlight Sonata was delivered in a most artistic manner displaying exquisite harmony, modulation, masterfulenss and vivaciousness in swift movements. Mi-. Perine's selections of the extreme classical type were presented with all the powerfulness or softness with which they were written. Especially was Debussy's Prelude filled with an enchanting and artistic melodiousness. The Etude of St. Saen was also interpreted in an intriguing spirit. o ; "U" JOURNALISTS EDIT SEATLE STAR A DAY :ww-v-vvvv.vvvvv%vv«v (Monitor The Journalism, class at the University of Washington stepped out of their class last week and edited the Saturday editions of the Seattle Star.

A charming outdoor play, which was worked out by the children in the fourth and fifth grades, was given on the far side of the knoll at nine o'clock this morning. The play, called "Forest Wonders", was taken from the Italian folk play, "Forest Spring/ 'by Constance D'Arcy Mackay. In the action of the play the children picked out the poems, songs and dances which they had enjoyed and which fitted best with the scenes in the forest, with the trees, grasses, birds, flowers, mountains and moon. The dances were tation exercises that they have had had in their gymnasium work. The play opens with the entrance of three children who have come to the forest to gather flowers. Two of them go on, but the other stays and sees the wonders of the forest. The complete program is as follows: Enter; Amata, Giovanni, Fiam-ma,- gathering flowers. Enter, the Spirit of the Wood.

This special number is published not so much for the Normal students as it is for high school seniors throughout the Northwest who might be interested in coming here. M a r y Hibner, special supplement editor,.deserves much praise for Ker efforts in making this y e a r ' s issue a success. She gave unstintingly of. h e r time a n d efforts to place a first class paper in our hands. We believe s h e , h a s succeeded. •ft. Miss Hibner has been ably assisted by Theo.

A recent canvas among students of our course in Civilization brought out the s t a r t l i n g fact t h a t less than n per cent are keeping abreast of theHhnes, less t h a n ten per cent are keeping-viri touch with the major topics o f \ t h e clay. This .condition, if present in all schools of higher alarming one, and education, is an a complete diagnosis of our curriculum should be made with the view of adopting corrective measures. "Time to kill but not one minute for current problems" could very well be applied to a majority of the students of this and other schools. There is time for loafing in t h e halls, t h e r e are spare minutes for horseshoes or tennis, there is ample time for strolls here and there, but there i s not a minute t o give toward intelligent citizenship. Descendents of Ichabod Crane fail dismally when they endeavor to dis? cuss political and industrial problems on a common level with the business and professional man. We claim' t h a t teaching is a profession, but, down deep in our hearts, we know t h a t very few of us undergo the preparation that warrants the t e rm applied to our chosen work. Indeed, we like the word profession and use it cjuite freely, although conscious all the time t h a t we are falling short in our preparation. There is no time like the present t o get started in this matter of keeping abreast of the times. Magazines and papers are crying for your patronage. The Presidential campaign will soon be in full swing. Thousands of coal miners out of work, on strike, are pushing their cause through the periodicals. Delicate foreign affairs in China, Nicaragua, and Mexico are thrashed out in the papers. The library with its scores of weekly and monthly magazines, is a regular gold mine of worthwhile contemporary information.

I n "Elmer Gantry," Sinclair Lewis has again driven his probing pen int o one of society's sore spots. He has snatched the mantle of traditional spiritual authority and omniscience from the shoulders of the conventional American divine and" vivisected the decidedly human being t h a t it shrouded. He shows us the other side of the stage and the strings t h a t move the puppets. Lewis is a realist, and is apt to be a bit indigestible to one who suddenly forsakes his diet of Zane Grey, Cm wood, Pollyanna piffle or Elinor Glynish sob-stuff, perhaps and probably more than a little irritating. But despite this, Lewis is well worth the effort it may require to read him: "Elmer Gantry" contains food for some very pertinent thinking. fWWVWWWWWVWWVWWWWWWVW Student Opinion VVV^tfVVVVtf^LW^AVy%V^%SVVVLV%V^flA%VW'.Vl^AV^A^A/ f w P Notebooks and Outlines ;fP; •; - : "Oh, Hello there!

What is a carnival except a crass explanation? Granted t h a t it has a certain a t t r a c t i o n by its very novelty. But, aside from this its compensations are few and small. Its tents and side shows are grotesque and barbaric. And, where is the romance of doubtful hot clogs and a hundred vile stenches? But it draws its quota of pleasure seekers, who eagerly catch at a few crumbs of artificial bliss. After all is said and done, isn't this just one more drug t h a t serves to keep the illusion of life from crumbling? I n a satirical article in the May munber of the American Mercury, a Mr. Gillespie deplores the fact that colleges confer degrees in subjects t h a t really are so much ballast. He says t h a t the Bellingham Parish Junior High School is offering a course in the a r t of automobile dodging. We wonder what Mr. Gillespie would t h i n k on hearing Gunnar Berg's lament that no Doctor Degrees follow Boy Scout training. An editorial of last week takes space with the subject of "petting." "To pet or not to pet," t h a t is their question. Is this a question? Aside from promiscuity, can it not rather be termed a biological necessity? If you would be proper and understood, don't call it petting, or m u g g i n g - call it love! Friends are people Avhose peculiarities are identical with your own. After all, the human race is p r e t ty good considering what it came up from. Perhaps the greatest discovery of 1927 is t h a t angels have no business except in heaven. ^JjMi^ti-]^^^ mere ^Im^i^i^ta^ijiii^eA fftftilfft students ^ m s s a "" ••••-••-• •- - are interested in any subject they'll t a k e notes of their own accord and will outline any number of pages. If t h e instructors aren't original enough t o think up new subjects for notebooks and books t o outline why must t h e students waste valuable time in t r y i n g t o collect material for a notebook when some one else already has t h e material compiled and ready for use? Why should students have to make detailed outlines on subjects when these outlines may be purchased very cheaply and are more complete? This business of outlining and of making notebooks should be done done away with and the students should .have the right t o decide what subjects they wish to make notebooks on and outlines for. If this could be practiced for awhile we'd .find out what we really want t o keep for future reference and our school life wouldn't be one grand rush from morning until night, trying to get a number of chapters copied for a certain class or in compiling a notebook t h a t has t o have so much and •no more in it t o please some teacher. — —-o— Many students were very much disgusted with the article t h a t appeared on our editorial page last week. The subject of p e t t i n g is not discussed in the higher class college papers any more as it has been discussed pro and con for years and people will not change their opinions on t h e matter no matter how much is said either for or against. Why should such a cheap article be given as much space, and space on t h e editorial page a t t h a t , when there are so many things to write about t h a t are of interest to the students as a whole? : Just such an article, with almost identical wording ; w i l l be foundSin any cheap magazine t h at a s ;Iow T ^ jt-ft ft gt;: Ourft iNorinai;;--:?

Today is the first day of the Fifth annual meeting of the tree Normal teams in track, baseball and tennis. I t is the custom of the schools to be hosts to the other's teams every third year so it now comes the Viking's turn to extend the welcoming hand to Cheney and Ellensburg. The .first annual meeting was held in 1923 at Ellensburg, with the Vikings coming out as victors in track. Due to an agreement, the next two meets were held here at Bellingham with another victory scored by the Vikings in 1924. In '25 the victory went to the visiting Red Skins from Cheney. Last vyear the meet was held at Cheney and after a close competition Bellingham emerged the victor again. During these past five years a set of records has been set up. Of the fourteen records, Bellingham holds five; .'..-".••.,•.'. The records are as follows: Mile run—Reed, C, 4:42.2. Shot put—Large, B., 40»6.%". iOO-yard dash—-Fogarty, E, 10.4.

"ZEKE" IGNITES FUSE Don Patterson, curve ball artist, set the Wild Cats down Saturday morning S-2. Don's slants and hooks were way too good for the batsmen who faced him. Nine putouts were accredited via the strike-out route. "Zeke" McClurken, classy third baseman, started the fireworks in the third inning with a single, Stick - ney sacrificed him to second, and he scored on a double by Odell. The Vikings were hitting Mr. Haker, opposing pitcher, hard, but his support tightened at the crucical moment to save him trouble in the first part of the game. A base on balls, two stolen bases, and two singles counted for two more runs in the fifth. In the meantime the best that Ellensburg could do was to get thre hits off the stingy Patterson in six innings. The eighth and ninth innings proved disastrous for the Wild Cats. Cooper singled and Wingard hit his second home run in as many days, to score him. " In the' ninth inning "Zeke" caught hold of a fast one and poked the ball into the next lot for a home run, scoring two runs ahead of him. Jack Connars, fast outfielder for the opponents, hit a home run to count for Ellensburg's two tallies.

EDDIE HURLS FAST BALL Eighh Inning Wingard Hits Homer Odell Follows Example in Ninth Inning With Eddie Wingard on the hilltop pitching wonderful ball and receiving wonderful support, the Vikings triumphed over 'the Ellensburg Wildcats last Friday afternoon 5-4 in 10 innings. Ed had his fast ball hopping all ways ^averaging a strikeout an inning. In the third inning "Zeke" McClurken doubled to left, stole third, and went home on a wild pitch, for the first score. In the next inning Ellensburg started the fireworks with a single. The next man up sacrificed. A fielder's choice and an argument scored two runs for the Wildcats. In the next inning a double and an error scored for Bellingham to even the count. In the eighth Wingard put one outside the park for a home run and Odell repeated in the next inning for two more tallies. In the last half of the ninth the first Wildcat man up walked, Rubles, the next man up, and at the most inopportune time, hit the first pitched ball over the left field fence for a home run and tied the score. Thor's descendants seemed a little-peeved over the way they had been treated and proceeded to gather a couple of bingles and a walk in the next frame, scoring one run to win the game.

Entertained by Famous % f Baseball Nine. ^•^Ii?s the way they cook weenies on Coney Island" explained Mr. Ruckmick, rolling his cold dog around on the rusty top of the camp cook-stove, on the annual Philo picnic. '•; '"But look at the rust!" exclaimed one Philo, who insisted on sticking yfco mores and pointed sticks for roasting weenies. "JTice, red-brown rust," replied Mr. Ruckmick, stroking the now hot-dog's side fondly. "HaveVyou had your iron today ?" To say they appreciated the meal is putting it very mildly, even if tea-hounds like Emmeline Moss and Sverre Arestad did insist on that beverage in place of coffee. Who wouldn't eat, after an exciting baseball game between Beighle's team and Ruckmick's, not to mention a treasure hunt, in which Maurice Thompson captured the. box of all-day suckers, which were all promptly seized by the infuriated mob at his heels. Mr. Ruckmick almost tossed Phil Sisk into Lake Samish, after the bold young gentleman had besmeared Vera Ginnette's face with charcoal till she looked like a minstrel show. A free-for-all charcoal fight then ensued, after which they visited the lake and rubbed each others faces vigorously with wet handkerchiefs. Thelma Butler and Vera Ginnette are ready to testify to the warmth of the lake waters, having done the noble deed of dipping for a real swim, while the would-be-sharpshooters among the fairer sex pointed away carefully at a Mississippi Relief fund badge with Alice Ling-ley's rifle. Planned or not, singing around a campfire inevitably happens at any picnic. The variety of songs was astounding, extending from the old favorite of "John Brown's Body" to the latest song hits. All that any Philo could add would be to say—"it was a darn good picnic," and "thanks" to Sverre Arestad, who ran.his trusty automobile out and in on so many trips, and insured transportation to most df the club members.

W. C. A. meeting, last Wednesday. When the foreigners, as all English and Americans are called, received word that the soldiers were coming, the women and children were put on the American and British gunboats. While they were on these boats it was necessary for them to fire into' the city to protect the American consular party, whose home was surrounded. While this was going on the party, consisting of twenty-two foreigners, fled over the wall. When the Southern soldiers had driven out the Northerners the missionaries hoped to be able to return to the city but intead of helping, as they hoped, the soldiers began looting their homes. They took out everything, including the windows and doors. After the soldiers had taken what they wanted they forced the mob to come and finish devastating the homes. The people of the city were kind to the foreigners and helped them as much as they could. The servants of the missionaries would hide them as soon as they heard the soldiers were coming. They supplied them with Chinese clothes and disguised them until their friends hardly knew them. Miss Whipple's brother and sister did not leave .the city until several days later. Only one American missionary, Dr. Williams, was killed. All of the rest reached Shanghai safely. From fear of the threats of the American government that they must be allowed to come out safely, the Chinese officials allowed them to leave. The missionaries and teachers are hoping that they may soon be able to return, until then native Chinese teachers are trying to carry on the work in some of the schools. The University has been completely destroyed, WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB AND SYDNEY DIXON APPEAR IN ASSEMBLY Mr. Harrison Raymond conducted the Bellingham Women's Music club chorus in an entertaining program in the assembly Tuesday. After a group of songs by the chorus, Sydney Lawrence Dixon was enthusiastically received with his pleasing tenor voice. His two encores "Whip-poor-will" and "Little Mother of Mine," were equally appreciated. The audience was greeted with something new in the presentation of a "Fantasy on a Russian Folk Song," where the alternate mingling of the Chorus, piano and violin played by John Roy Williams, evolved a pleasing uniqueness. As a conclusion, a group of entertaining songs was presented by Mr. Dixon. — —o The Sophomore Class will sell hot clogs, ice cream, bars, and other tempting delicacies during the baseball game and Tri-Norinal meet. Bring "two-bits" and enjoy these luxuries. "W. A. A. Would Be Warblers," will have an opportunity to express their musical thoughts in the form of a W. A. A. Song. A special incentive is a trophy cup to be given to, the best song which will be sung at the Sport's luncheon, June 4. No organization is complete without a club song. Let's go! AT LAKE SAMISH Club Holds Quarterly Function Friday Evening at Resort. Last Friday the Thespian Club, boasting. of a perfect attendance, journeyed to Lake Samish to hold their quarterly picnic. With climatic conditions ideal and Thespian spirit rampant, the affair was easily the outstanding club event of the quarter. Swimming, baseball and horseshoes amused the club members until Miss Kinsman, popular Thespian sponsor, gave the call for "Eats." An informal program around the bonfire brought the happy party to an end. Graceful Violet Green Swallow on the Campus For grace and beauty when flying no bird on our campus compares with the Violet-green Swallow. He is a past master at flying, no angle being so sharp, no descent so rapid but that he can accomplish the act swiftly and gracefully. This beautiful creature is easily recognized by his pure white chin, breast and belly, his rich velvety bronze-green back and his dark, violet wings and tail. He is almost continually flying stopping only for short intervals on some wire or fence to twitter out his chattering song. The Violet-greens made their first appearance on our campus about April 2. They are a summer resident here and will be with us until next fall. Before the advent of white man upon Puget Sound, these birds commonly nested in deserted woodpecker holes and in natural cavities in trees. . Since the coming of man they have forsaken their ancient haunts and now occupy bird-boxes and crannies of buildings. The nest is made of dried grasses, with or without feathers. From four to six pure white eggs are laid. The song of this SwalloAV consists of twittering and creaking notes, as does that of the Barn Swallow. The twitterings are easily recognized and it is not difficult to tell this bird by his song. New birds to be seen on the campus during the last week are: Barn Swallow—May 12. Russett-backed Thrush—May 14. Pine Siskin—May 15. : o LOWERY HOUSE NOTES Dorothy Stearns, Gladys Brown and Elma Mustoner spent the last week-end a t home in Mt. Vernon. Agnes Skaglund visited her home in Sedro-Woolley during the week end.

Tlotes By WALT BAKER NORSE NOTES We all wonder sometimes, just what goal the United Nations and we, as individuals, have in mind as to why we ore fighting. Even the men on the fighting fronts wonder as well as the populace ot home. We just can't say this is the war to vend all wars, or that we want to exterminate certain racial groups^ The proceeding reasons hold a .semblance of truth, but we have and should have more solid reasoning and more facts on just what our ultimate aim will be. We are a nation at war and the ultimate aim of War is peace. Peacej however, is far more than the cessation of armed conflict. Opponents in battle may cease fighting because of exhaustion of material or man-power, problems the Axis nations face today. A truce, and even weather may enter the problem. These, however, are not sighs of peace, for the causes of the conflict have not been removed. The controversy has not been settled. Neither side has given up. Hostilities are merely suspended, to flare up again when circumstances permit. No, peace is more than tranquility. It is tranquility grounded in order, and in an order of justice, in law, rather than in armed might. THE ENEMY'S PEACE The peace our enemies see, and the only one they are fighting tooth and nail for, on their own admission, is a conqueror's paradise. Ic is a world ruled by force, maintained by force and administered by force. It is an order dominated by men" rather than by "laws, an" order in which there' are one or more master minds arid master nations for that matter, with the others held in bondage and suffering oppression. Their so-called new order, already imposed upon the nations they have conquered, and are losing one by one, is not really new, but a reversion to a pre- Christian pagan order, and without the saving graces even of the ancient order. IN CONTRAST: By contrast, the peace we are fighting' for is a world, not of oppressions, but of freedoms. "This free-ness, this liberty," declare our leaders, "this precious thing men love and mean to save, is the granite ledge on which the United Nations now propose to raise their new world after victory... These freedoms are: freedom of speech, of worship, and freedom from want and fear... It is not claimed that this list of freedom's is exhaustive, that men may have no others... But it is asserted that these four are the basic ones to democratic living, and that they are so interdependent that where one is missing, all of the others suffer. BASKETBALL: Tomorrow night, Coach Charles Lappenbusch and his right hand assistant, Cale Campbell, will send the up-and-down Viking casaba squad, who will be playing the role of modern David against a strong and versatile University of Washington team, starred in the role of Goliath in the first game of a top notch home and home series. Last year's Viking squad, also playing the role of o David, met the UW team and literally scared the pants off the powerful purple and gold outfit from Seattle, when they dropped two heart-breakers to the Huskies. Let's do our part, and every last one of us, including the faculty, turn out there to support the wearers of the Blue and White. FLASH!! All students must enter the East door of the gym Saturday night and will-be required to sit in the section reserved for the student body ticket holders. This measure will be enforced to the fullest extent because of the large crowd expected and the room that will be taken up by the 35-piece Mount Baker School band, which will furnish.the' music for the evening. So students, let's all co-operate with this arrangement and make up a solid WWC section on the east side. Violinist Brosa Guest Here Antonio Brosa, violinist, was guest soloist at the assembly held Tuesday, January 16, in the'College Auditorium. Mr. Brosa, who was accompanied at the piano by John Sundsten, presented a program of outstanding classical numbers. Mr. Brosa's concert career began at the age of ten. So great was his success, he was awarded a scholarship- to study violin in Brussels. Instead of returning to his native country, Spain, he continued to win praise from concerts given in England. Former Staff Boss Lost in Action Al Biggs, former WWCollegian editor and now a sergeant in the U. S. army air corps, has been reported missing in action over Hungary since December 11, according to word received here this week. .Biggs entered the service in 1943, and upon completion of his training as a radioman, he was assigned to the crew of a B-24. In August, 1944, he was sent overseas. Last November he was awarded the air medal with two oak leaf clusters for meritorious achievement while over enemy territory. He served as editor of the 1940- '41 Collegian and as sports editor the previous year. His wife, the former Betty Rusher, who also served as a member of the WWCollegian staff, is now living with her parents in Bremerton. Coming Assemblies Arouse Interest As a prelude to the Viking's big game against the U of Washington Huskies tomorrow night, the yell leaders, Merrie Virginia Eggers and Charlotte Samples, led a few yells in assembly this morning. The results were loud and spontaneous. There will be an AWS business meeting on Tuesday, January 23, in the Blue room of Edens hall. After the business has been taken care of, Miss Frances Simas will speak on the Orient. All AWS members are invited to come. VOL.

Rangy Lad DON MCMILLAN Big Don McMillan, veteran Husky center/ will lead the Washington trainee squad when it tangles with Coach Lappen-busch's much-improved Vikings Saturday night at 8 in the college pavilion. Last year, McMillan broke the single game scoring record with 34 points. He is playing his third year of varsity ball for the Huskies, and is an excellent pivot man around the keyhole. Hec Edmundson, UW coach, will depend a lot on McMillan's scoring in the Huskie's offence. Record Crowd Anticipated Vikings Out To Win Grudge Game; Huskies, Beware! The University of Washington Huskies, coached by Hec Edmund-son, will meet the Western Washington Vikings this Saturday evening at the college gymnasium. Game time, 8 p; m.

Baker high school will have their thirty-five piece band, dressed in full Scottish kilts to play for the fans during the game. Show Rehearsals Now Underway All major acts for the Winter Show axe now cast, and at least two already are in rehearsal. All parts have not been filled as yet, however, so the names of the complete cast can not yet be given. «, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe reported that they were very pleased with try-outs, _as_ some fifteen people tried out for chorus rolls* and about eight presented specialty acts. Many of these will be used in the show. A roller skating act is the latest addition to the show. It features Crystal Ackerman, Cynthia Systma, and Joan Martinson. According to advance reports, it promises to be one of the high-iights of the pro-* duction. ; ' The show is scheduled for sometime in the early part of March. Ex-Viking Athlete Missing Word was received from the War Department this last week that former Viking football captain and All-Winco guard choice, Lt.

OUR FUTURE I don't know if any of you have thought much about the G. I. Bill of Rights, which was passed fast year but I was asked to read an article the other day on it which appeared recently in Colliers magazine. It was written by Robert M. Hutchins, President of the University of Chicago. Dr. Hutchins' father visited our campus last quarter. After this war is over, and between now and then, boys will be returning to college campuses to finish their interrupted education. According to the provisions of the Servicemen's Readjustment Act, every man who has been in the service 90 days or longer will reap the benefit of free schooling at the expense of the government. The bill providing this sounds very good when casually mentioned,, but there can be and is a lot more to the situation than is apparent at first thought. All of these matters will someday affect us and many of our friends who are now serving in the armed forces. As the post-war leaders of this nation, we should be examining the future that our elders are making for us. As Dr. Hutchins points out, unless some changes are made in the G. I. BilPof Rights, "colleges and universities will find themselves converted into educational hoWJ jungles." It's about time we, who have the opportunity for education now, look over our wall of seclusion to see how we can help those who are helping us now. By SEARL You say you want to hear You say you want to know, Stay around friends, 'Cause here I go Of Mice and Men; Patsy Cooper (Heroine of the Week) is official "Mouse Exterminator" at Edens Hall.

A certain fed head proved she can get out of a rut congratulations. House Hooey RAGAN'S RAMBLNGS Thump! Thump! Thump! Go -the muscles, Slap! Slap! Slap! Go then-hands, Stop! Stop! Stop! Scream the "house" mates but the exercises continue. They pound, they bend, they twist, and the house resounds with many groans, for three girls from Ragan's are determined to get those sylph-like figures through the noisy, and now famous exercises, of a certain well-advertised success course. HARBORVIEW HAILS In spite of gas rationing, the girls at Harborview Hall enjoyed a five course progressive dinner Wednesday night. They were served shrimp cocktails, tomato soup, jellied salad, stew, and a surprise birthday cake for Gerry Leek. Favorable comments can still be heard about the new method of traveling from room to room on foot, instead of using precious gas to go from house to house. A good place to go to enjoy some hot jive is Harborview's Blue room, where Corky Urfer can be heard really beating it out at the piano, all hours of the day. Good athletes turning out for sports this year are Eleanor Anderson, Ruby Stroebel and Corky Urfer, swimming; and Mavis Danley, basketball. Good way to get rid of that surplus energy, isnt it? Peggy (out of things) Sorenson lost her shoes in the lounge the other *day. Best advice Peg; don't let loose of things you don't want to lose. Pauline Brue and Stu Moldrem (Ex-student of WWC), sketchy kids have fun drawing the characters of the school how about that, Joan Haggard? Oh, well! gossips have a keen sense of rumor. It's not a rumor that the Sip and - Bite is fast becoming a popular find-'em-here place. They have the space to dance and the nick is due any day now. (Note: good records too). A dream come true. A dream came true when the basketball bounced in' favor of WWC at the game with the Coast Guard proud we are to be rooters for WWC. Question of the Week!!!

Get in Paper; Wrap it Up If you have ever wished to get some article of yours in a newspaper, here's just the way to do it. We offer the following rules which we trust will prove of value: Take the newspaper and, opening it, Jay it on the floor. Smooth out the creases with the hand. Having selected the article place it in the center of the paper and carefully turn the edges over, folding them so as to make a neat package. Now, with a strong cord, take a turn about the parcel lengthwise; then one crosswise. Knot securely with a square, round1, oval or conical knot and the task is complete. These directions, of course, apply only to small articles, such as combs, sandwiches, shoes and bottles. You cannot get large articles like lawn mowers, baby carriages or a student lounge chair in a newspaper!

Foster Veteran on__ Viking Ball Club Now playing his third season of basketball under Coach Lappen-busch is Paul Poster, sophomore basketeer from Puyallup, Wash. Having had a very wide back-ground in athletics, Paul excels in swimming and basketball. Because of this experience, Paul is one of the finest ball handlers in these parts, and has a keen sense for set- ' ting up plays. A likeable fella if there ever was one, Paul returned to WWC this fall, and was immediately elected president of the Norsemen. This soon led to his unanimous choice as captain of the basketball team as soon as .the season had rolled around. In addition he carries on many other activities. As the season is well under way now, it can easily be seen that Paul's services wjll be invaluable to Coach Lappenbusch and the Vikings for the season of 1945. highly touted Huskies, the Viks will throw everything they have at the visitors in an attempt to win. Coach Lappenbusch has had his squad hard at work all week long and they should be in tip-top shape for the Huskies. v Both the Huskies and Vikings have played the Whidby Navalairs, with Washington taking a trouncing and the Viks breaking even in two games.

By MOLLY MALONEY The Western Front Western students could be enrolled in a class taught by one of the most dangerous professors in America, according to conservative commentator David Horowitz. Horowitz names Fairhaven College associate professor Larry J. Estrada as a danger in his book "The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America," released Feb. 13. With the help of online voting, Estrada said he could be No. 1 on the most dangerous list. Estrada, the American cultural studies program director at Western, said he has mixed feelings about Horowitz including him in the book. "At first I was startled, and then wondered who the other 100 professors were," Estrada said. "The truth is I could be in much worse company, with Noam Chomsky, Derrick Bell and Bettina Aptheker also making the list. I've felt bemusement, pride and anger. I felt like my accomplishments and words were distorted and mischaracterized by Horowitz." see LIST, page 5 Whatcom women welcome Morse to hall of fame BY MEGAN LUM The Western Front The Northwest Women's Hall of Fame will induct Western's first female president, Karen Morse, into its ranks of outstanding Whatcom County women on March 19. Morse, who became president of Western in 1993, said she knows two Western women whom the hall of fame inducted over the past eight years, including director of prevention and wellness services Pat Fabiano and athletic director Lynda Goodrich. "I go to the celebration every year because it's see SERVICE, page 4 Community may suddenly be city BY DERRICK PACHECO The Western Front The community of Sudden Valley is lobbying the Whatcom County Council to add the community to the Urban Growth Area list If Sudden Valley is on the list, residents could formally apply for city status under Washington state Law. The Whatcom County Council currently lists Sudden Valley as a recreation area. gt; The council removed Sudden Valley from the urban growth community list Feb. 28, after the council passed an emergency ordinance to thwart Sudden Valley's attempt at becoming incorporated and developing into a city, council chairwoman Laurie Caskey-Schreiber said. Sudden Valley, located 8 miles east of Bellingham, officially applied for city status on Feb. 24, and could petition for entry onto the November ballot, said Steve Grieser, Sudden Valley community association general manager. CHRIS JOSEPH TAYLOR / THE WESTERN FRONT The Sudden Valley community on the west side of Lake Whatcom is requesting to become a city. Future commercial and industrial development there may increase pollution in Bellingham's water reservoir. The council voted to remove Sudden Valley from the list to ensure the area around Lake Whatcom remains decongested by development. At the Feb. 28 meeting, the council was concerned that city near Lake Whatcom could damage the watershed. see DEVELOPMENT, page 4 UPFEST SUCCESS Local benefit concert festival raised $5,000 for Hurricane Katrina relief.

Compiled by Michael Lycklama Mayor to delay greenway vote BYDANGROHL The Western Front In a 4-3 vote, the Bellingham City Council approved a greenway levy proposal Monday, which could allocate up to $43 million to Bellingham parks. However, the public is not likely to vote on the land protection measure in the upcoming special election in May, Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said. Asmundson said he would veto any city council decision that does not have at least five members in favor of the proposal in the final council vote regarding the levy this Monday. Even ifhe didn't veto the levy, Bellingham voters would still be unlikely to pass the levy without the council's consensus, Asmundson said. He suggested the council work on the ordinance for the levy and decide on a final version in time for the Sept. 19 primary election. The council agreed with the mayor's suggestion, council president Gene Knutson said. "Greenway will not die if we don't put a package together today," Knutson said. "We need to do this right It is too important to just push though." The measure the council approved on Monday would allow the city to collect $43 million in taxes over 10 years, councilman John Watts said. - The council has the final say on any change in the distribution of the funds and is likely to use the $43 million for the acquisition, development, improvements and maintenance of greenways, parks and trails in Bellingham, Asmundson said. Monday's vote is the last opportunity for the council to put the land protection measure-on the May 16 ballot for voters. If the council does not pass the measure in the final vote, the next chance for a public vote is in the September election. Council member Barbara Ryan said Chuckanut Ridge needs to be one of the council's priorities if the council wants the levy to pass on the ballot. MAP COURTESY OF THE CITY OF BELLINGHAM Purchasing land on Chuckanut Ridge is one of the proposed ways to spend money generated by a greenway levy. Supporters say purchasing land on Chuckanut Ridge would protect it from Bellingham's future growth, such as the proposed Fairhaven Highlands, an 85-acre, 739 home development Fairhaven Highlands is marked by the shaded area along Chuckanut Drive. Chuckanut Ridge is an 85-acre property south of Fairhaven District, which could hold up to 739 housing units if it were to be fully developed. "We all agree Chuckanut Ridge should be in there," Knutson said. "The question is for how much. That's the bottom line." Council members Terry Bomemann, Ryan and Knutson voted against the levy on Monday.

The hall of fame is the Bellingham YWCAV project. Thirteen Bellingham women organize the project, said Jo JARED YOAKUM / THE WESTERN FRONT Western President Karen Morse will join two other Western women in the Northwest Women Hall of Fame March 19. Collmge, hall of fame committee member. "Western is vital to the community, so she is a community leader as well as the leader of the university," said Collinge, former assistant director of university communications. Before coming to Western, Morse worked at Utah State University as a chemistry professor, the head of the chemistry and biochemistry department and dean of the college of science. The university appointed her Utah's provost in 1989. "I've been very fortunate because whatever I've done I've enjoyed, whether it was being a faculty member or doing some administrative work, working with faculty and for faculty," Morse said. "I understand what (the faculty) are doing, and I know the challenges that they have. I'm trying to work for them in order to make their environment better and their professional experience better." Candidates must serve as a role model for women to qualify for a nomination for the hall of fame, Collinge said. "She is an example of how the role of women has changed in the second half of the 20th century," she said. "Especially for women in the roles that were once considered to be men's domains." Morse received her doctorate in chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1967, when universities gave 10 to 20 percent of their doctorates to women, Collinge said. Now almost half of students who receive doctorates throughout the country are women, she said. "Women weren't always deans and weren't always heads of departments," Collinge said. "For those of us who lived through that time, the difference between the second half of the 20th century and now is striking." Since fall 2005, Morse has focused on improving Western's international programs. "Certainly we have some wonderful things that are going on with international programs at the university, but there needs to be some leadership there, some cohesion, and we're starting to do that," she said. Morse is a strong and caring leader, said Paul Cocke, interim director for university communications. "It's no accident that (Morse's work at Western) has coincided with a pretty significant increase in the respect and reputation of Western," Cocke said. Morse's nomination for the hall of fame shows the university's attachment and dedication to the community and a commitment to higher education, Morse said. "It's a good thing for the university, just like any time a faculty member or a staffmember or a student is recognized," Morse said. "It reflects well on the university." This is the eighth annual induction. The hall of fame has inducted 25 women in the past seven years, Colligne said. Development: Sudden Valley petitioning county council to join urban growth area list CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 If the Sudden Valley community became a city, it would be difficult to restrict further development and keep the population and traffic around the lake. Lake Whatcom provides drinking water and recreation to more than 86,000 county residents, Caskey-Schreiber said. "We are working hard to decrease congestion around Lake Whatcom," Caskey- Schreiber said. "The only way a city can survive is with growth, and that could be detrimental to Lake Whatcom." Some of Sudden Valley's population is pushing for incorporation while others are not, Grieser said. He said the residents of Sudden Valley petitioning to become a city are interested in havmg their tax dollars directly affect their community. The Sudden Valley community does not have the economic support to become a city, Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson said. "Sudden Valley does not have the tax base to support municipal services," Asmundson said. "It would be a mistake to pursue incorporation." The residents opposed are adamant about remaining a recreation community, said Grieser, who is not a member of the residential group pursuing incorporation. "I work for the community association," he said. "This is a private group of citizens applying for incorporation. The community association is not instigating this." Grieser said the private group is collecting residents' signatures to petition adding Sudden Valley's proposition on the next ballot Nov. 7. "Private citizens are pursuing incorporation," Grieser said. "Ultimately, public citizens will have to vote on this issue."

Churchill said some employees in the World Trade Center antagonized the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Estrada said. In an essay Churchill wrote, he said companies that benefited from U.S. policies that caused thousands of Iraqi children's deaths after the Gulf War brought the attacks on the United States, Estrada said. Estrada said he never condoned Churchill's opinion about Sept. 11. "The inference by Horowitz that I agree with his analogy is totally fallacious," Estrada said. "My comments to press, mostly in Colorado, have always been that I support his academic freedom and his right to speak out on the nature and causes for 9/11." Horowitz wrote a chapter in the book on each professor to discredit their efforts to introduce fresh viewpoints into the academic world, Estrada said. Horowitz wants to encourage an extreme far right ideology on American college campuses, Estrada said. "He wants auditing of every syllabus, every concept taught, and monitoring of university classrooms in terms of concepts and theories employed," Estrada said. "This is why he has attempted to introduce the Academic Bill of Rights in various states at the national level. This type of control runs counter to both liberal and conservative thinking and effectively changes the entire nature of the university." â€¢ ' Junior Josefina Magana, a sociology and Spanish major, said she went to Mexico with Estrada last summer for his six- week class, Contemporary Culture of Mexico. "He is very encouraging, especially for me being of Hispanic origin," she said. "I truly believe it's a mistake that he was named in this book. This guy doesn't know much about Larry. From my experience, he never wants to put political ideas upon students." In his book, Horowitz's claims Estrada is a radical separatist because ofhis work as an adviser for MEChA, or the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, Estrada said. Students from the University of California, Santa Barbara established MEChA in the late 1960s as a campus organization to help "They believe their is political bias on campus. And the way Horowitz is going about it is very reminiscent of the way Joseph McCarthy went about things.'. BILL LYNE Western English professor Latino students earn their degrees. It's a support system for students and maintains a connection between education and community development, said Western senior Sierra Schraff-Thomas, Estrada's teaching assistant and MEChA internal affairs officer ' at Western. Aztlan represents the struggle for respect and equality for Mexicanos and Chicanos, who have an indigenous presence in the southwest because it's the Aztec's ancestral home, Estrada said. "I've never advocated secession," he said. "Certain right-wing ideologues accuse people of that, because if you're a member of MEChA, then they distort the concept of Aztlan. MEChA doesn't advocate secession. It's disinformation to state that." Schraff-Thomas said Horowitz fabricated some of his facts. "To my knowledge, Larry has never advocated for succession of the American Southwest so that it may be returned to Mexico or the creation of an independent Hispanic state, nor does MEChA advocate these things," she said. "If this were the case, I don't believe that he would be so supportive of me, a white student." Western English professor Bill Lyne, faculty senate president, said he doesn't think the book will affect Estrada's good standing. "If anything, we're all kind of proud of him," he said. "That list is full of distinguished scholars from around the world. I think the book is dumb. It's full of lies and rumors." Lyne said Horowitz's book isn't what worries him, but that Horowitz and his well-funded colleagues are attempting to pass legislature across the country to monitor professors and their teaching. "They believe there is political bias on campus," Lyne said. "And the way Horowitz is going about it is very reminiscent of the way Joseph McCarthy went about things." Horowitz posted a poll for the most dangerous professor on his FrontPage Online Magazine, Estrada said. Estrada is No. 3 on the list. "I think I can be number one," Estrada said. "Everyone just needs to vote. I will owe it all to students, colleagues, and the general public for boosting me closer to the No. 1 spot" David Horowitz did not return an e-mail request for an interview.

Without them everywhere looks the same." David Kowalsky, Sustainable Bellingham volunteer coordinator Alumna's film promotes small-town businesses BY SHANNON DEVENY The Western Front Without using any interstate highways or supporting any corporately-owned stores, two former NBC journalists, one a Western graduate, drove across the country using only secondary highways and spending money in independently-owned businesses. Western alumna of 1993, Heather Hughes, 35, and her husband, Hanson Hosein, 36, filmed "Independent America: The Two Lane Search for Mom and Pop" in May 2005 and documented their journey along the two-laned roads of the United States. Sustainable Bellingham, an organization that supports local business Bellingham, and Fair Trade Crafts, a store that sells fair-trade products, will show the film at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Bellingham Public Market on Cornwall Avenue. Hughes and Hosein heard reports of small-town business owners and community members saying they did not want to see another Starbucks or Wal-Mart built in their town, Hughes said. The increase in the number of reports in 2003 surrounding this issue sparked the couple's interest and inspired them to make the film, she said. The film depicts independent-business owners' determination to re-assert themselves in the American economy that large corporations, such as Wal-Mart, dominate, said Allison Weeks-Ewoldt, Sustainable Bellingham co-founder. "We get a glimpse of the promising remnants of community commerce that are waiting to grow and thrive again as the multinational corporations that have transformed our nation into 'Anywhere, USA' crush under the weight of their own greed," Weeks-Ewoldt said. Hughes and Hosein visited businesses such as coffee houses, bookstores and hardware stores under financial pressure from corporate chains such as Wal-Mart, Borders and Starbucks, Hughes said. The film documents the experiences and opinions of local business owners who want to maintain and profit from their small businesses in towns throughout the United States, said Lynnette Allen, Sustainable Bellingham member. By showing film viewers business owners and the towns they live and work in, the film shows the importance buying local goods and services has on economies in cities such as Bellingham, by keeping money in circulation locally, Allen said. "It is important to have a financially prosperous local economy where we are not dependent on corporations that are based in other places because it helps us to be self-sufficient," said David Kowalsky, Sustainable Bellingham volunteer coordinator. Sustainable Bellingham wants the film PHOTO COURTESY OF HEATHER HUGHES Former NBC journalists Heather Hughes and Hanson Hosein stand in front of the original Wal-Mart in Rogers, Ark., after interviewing Wal-Mart executives in June 2005. to challenge viewers to look critically at how and where they spend their money, Kowalsky said. "Mom and Pop places are what give a town real diversity," Kowalsky said. "Without them, everywhere looks the same." Buying locally is important because money put into a local economy multiplies faster when it stays within community commerce, Hughes said. When someone buys books at Village Books, the owner of the store then uses the money to employ local advertising agencies and many others, which spreads the money around enriching a large portion of the community, she said. "If we don't support local businesses, they won't be there," Hughes said. â€¢ gt; UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS 4BEDR00M/2BATH DORM STYLE APARTMHTS OWHPSIVIinBB/SHUEUWmil RENT INCUDES: ' ALL UTILITIES /CABLE ^ HIGH SPEED INTERNET iHHOTiHiinKtpiiMfiiiiipirBiqiEiiiBnnnti .

Wet weather and wind hounded the golfers during the first two rounds of the tournament Monday, but for the first nine holes Tuesday the weather cleared up.

Western senior co-captain Luke Bennett, who was on-par through nine holes but finished with a seven-over-par 79, said the weather was only part of the problem on the back nine. "I just couldn't find a groove," Bennett said, whose score of 79 dropped him from a tie for ninth into a tie for fifteenth individually. "The weather wasn't the best, but I never felt comfortable. I'd miss a putt here, hit.a bad shot there. I wasn't putting myself in a spot to score." Senior co-captain Tim Feenstra shot a three-over par-75 during his final round and finished tied for fourth individually. Feenstra said he was pleased with his golf swing, but could not finish bis putts. "I nit the ball really well, and I didn't make one birdie out there," he said. "I just didn't make a putt. I didn't make one putt over four feetâ€”it's hard to score when you do that." Sophomore Sean Packer rounded out the Vikings top finishers, placing seventh after a final round 75.

Feenstra said the difference between golfers at the Division I and the Division II levels is slim. "College golf is a pretty level playing field," Feenstra said. "Division I is probably a little better than Division II, but we play against a lot of top-Division II schools, and the level of play out here is pretty much the same." The tournament marked the second event for the Vikings since the spring portion of their season began. The Vikings finished third at the Cal State Bakersfield Invitational Feb. 28. Before the spring portion of the season began, Western head coach Steve Card said while he has three of the top - Division II golfers in Feenstra, Bennett and Packer, he was still looking for consistent play from the No. 4 and No. 5 spots on the team. After two events, Card said junior Sam Pauley, who shot a Vikings best 74 during the final round Tuesday, secured the No. 4 position, but No. 5 is still undecided. "Sam has really stepped up and established himself as the No. 4 player on the team," Card said. "I think the top-three guys show a lot of confidence in him."

Women compete in regionals BY DERRICK PACHECO The Western Front Home is where the court is for the top-seeded Western women's basketball team as the Vikings host the regional championship starting today. The team has won 20 games in a row this season, including 13 straight wins at home, on its way to a 26-1 record. The Vikings earned a No. 4 national ranking for Division II women's basketball, and the No. 1 seed for this weekend's West Regional Tournament held in Carver Gym today, Saturday and Monday. The Western women are making their eighth consecutive appearance in the regional tournament, but this is the first year the Vikings earned the opportunity to host the event. "I have had at least 1,000 people asking me about the men's and women's regional tournament this week," Western director of athletics Lynda Goodrich said. The quarterfinals start at 12:30 p.m. today, the semifinals start at 5 p.m. on Saturday and the championship game is on Monday at 7 p.m. "This is just great to play at home," women's head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "We have had an unbelievable year and hope to reach the (national) Elite Eight." Both the women's and men's basketball teams qualified for the Regional Tournaments. The men earned the No. 2 seed with a 21-6 record, and will play at Seattle Pacific University this weekend. "You can't get much better than this," Goodrich said. "When people think about D-II basketball in the Northwest, they'll think of Western."

Besides displaying terrible programming, this specific brand of sports reality television misses the point entirely. The point is, I want to see sports stars brought down, not watch their exaggerated egos. "Pros vs. Joes" starts with a promising premise. Three average people dubbed 'Joes,' contestants on the show, challenge a handful of retired athletes in athletic contests. Monday's episode included wide receiver Jerry Rice, professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, basketball player Dennis Rodman, former Chicago Bears quarterback Mike MeMahon and baseball slugger Matt Williams. The show grants the Joes an opportunity to fulfill lifelong fantasies, such as going one-on-one with a professional athlete and winning $20,000. Or, as Rodman likes to call his annual salary for playing in the ABA in addition to what he gets every time "Double Team" airs on HBO. During the show, the Joes competed in impossible tasks such as covering Rice while he caught passes from MeMahon. One Joe did succeed once in knocking a pass away only because of a miserable throw by MeMahon. Another challenge pitted a Joe in a wrestling match versus Goldberg. Nobody succeedes against Goldberg. In a bizarre shooting contest against rebounding extraordinaire Dennis Rodman, the Joes stood on a conveyor belt moving away from the hoop and had to run while shooting baskets. Each Joe took their turn to beat Rodman's score for the most baskets made in two minutes. Despite this obvious move to make Rodman look better in a shooting contest, one excited Joe still outscored Rodman. That was the best moment of the show. I don't watch bad reality shows to see average people humiliated. I want to see bloated, average fans disgrace overpaid former athletes. It doesn't happen when a 165-pound guy wrestles Goldberg's weight. To the show's credit, it included a golfing competition as a neutral battleground. As I was watching I thought to myself, "Finally, I get to see these pros fail." But then it occurred to me, nobody plays golf more than retired athletes. With all the charity benefits, disposable income and tremendous free time, playing golf is the destiny of retired athletes. This doesn't say much for golf, and it explains the Senior Tour. Players on the PGA Tour don't get as many holes in as Matt Williams does. The pros destroyed the Joes in golfing worse than in any other event, and Spike TV expects us to find this amusing. I admit, I found myself mildly entertained by Rodman outrebounding players 12 inches shorter than him and Matt Williams lining shots at these poor guys while they tried to play third base, but it grew obnoxious. The pros running their mouths the whole time was even more annoying. Rice used an expletive in reference toward the Joes. How do you get pumped up to prevent someone who is poorer, uglier and not as talented from winning some money? At the end of the day, the pros are still rich, enjoy an inflated status in society and fans adore them. The trash talking is unsolicited. The athletes on the show act as if fans don't understand how talented they are. As fans we know we're not better receivers than Rice, but some out there think they can catch better than former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Koren Robinson. Nobody says to themselves, "I could have grabbed that rebound," when watching Rodman miss a board. We say that when we're watching Seattle Sonic's center Robert Swift. We do say when watching Rodman, "I bet I wouldn't have kicked that cameraman in the nuts," but that's a different issue. These are the events I want to see. I want to see Joes versus Swift in the bench press. I want to see Shaquille O'Neal struggling in a free throw shooting contest, Pete Rose versus the roulette wheel and maybe some sort of Joe versus Ron Artest freestyle rap battle. Let's see John Daly huffing it in a 40-yard dash. Fans possess the reasonable expectation that professional athletes are superior in every facet of athleticism than an average fan. And if we suspect that this isn't the case, "Pros vs. Joes" should answer the question. Is Edgar Martinez slower than your grandmother? We could ultimately find out. Of course the athletes destroy the Joes when they're a legend of the sport or an event they specialize in. And that's funny, but it gets old. If we learned anything from "Celebrity Boxing," it's that Tonya Harding is mean. But we also learned that if they're going to sell out, they should look stupid. Now some may say Rice paid his dues with "Dancing With the Stars," but nevertheless, these athletes clearly sold out. Please, if nothing else, make them look stupid.

Every year, a stretch of spring sunshine beats back the Washington rain, and the women of Western come out from under their rocks to put on a show. Some master coordinator flips a switch broadcasting the disrobe beacon, sending all the girls running to their closets to rescue moth-balled halters, short skirts and spaghetti straps. Instantly gone are the winter hoodies we gents are accustomed to and the puffy jackets that are probably still appropriate for the mid- 50s temperature. Ladies, your tactics are underhanded and jarring. I understand your intent is to consume the Western guys in a tsunami of 7 understand your intent is to consume the Western guys in a tsunami of skin and confusion. You succeed wildly.' enjoy seeing us reduced to blind children bumbling mechanically and slack-jawed across campus like subjects in a government LSD experiment. You need to tone it down. Seriously. After three springs at Western, I've developed the ability to sense when springtime skin is drawing nigh. I'll walk out of class and slowly meander across campus. Something won't seem right, and I'll wonder if I'm forgetting an assignment or a family member's birthday. I'll walk, numb to the world and looking down when I notice the passing ankles. Then legs. I'll look up. Shoulders. Backs. Midriffs. â€”' Shell shock. I'll bump into a dumbfounded fellow with panicked and unfocusing eyes. I'll apologize with some unintelligible sound and careen into the 10- til-the-hour crowd like a weightless body floating into an asteroid field. I hope women understand how rough springtime skin is on us fellas. The first day hits so suddenly that we react with bewilderment rather than sexual attraction. I know you've been working out skin and confusion. You succeed wildly. You all winter to prepare for this day, but we can't look at you, at least not right away. We walk like mummies with tunnel vision just trying to get to point B, the skin cumulating in our peripheral vision. Our brains can't compute why the opposite sex would wear only half the clothing they donned a mere 24 hours ago. It doesn't make sense. Our reality crumbles. As detrimental as spring skin is to my mental stability, I must laud Western's women. Despite intense planning and anticipation of the event girls are remarkably close mouthed. Mum is the word, which is a miracle for that particular species. All week, I've asked women, "Is this me week? Has the time ] come?" and all responded with a completely believable look of disturbed confusion. One of; these years a man will find the. hidden entrance and expose your scheme. He will descend the stairs in the catacombs under Old Main and discover the Hall of Western Sisterhood. It must take a huge room to fit all 7,000 of you. He'll find the Masons-esque robes, and the calendars marking the day the first assault will take place. You will be exposed. I know the day is coming. My eyes and ears at Whatcom Community College report that spring skin is already kicking in. The women at Whatcom are less patient than those at Western, not to mention less tasteful. Historically, we can look at .Whatcom as a two-week warning for spring skin hitting Western's campus. I strongly encourage the Western Sisterhood leadership implement a staggered schedule for spring skin. This way, girls will take graduated steps toward summertime clothes, rather than the coat-to- tube top leapfrog that sends men reeling. I understand the pleasure you must derive from messing with us, but don't be cruel. We have classes to take care of. We have jobs. We have meals to remember to eat. Staggering spring skin is the humane thing to do. And besides, it's still fucking cold. E-mail Zach Kyle at tme_enoughcolumn@yahoo. com GOOD.

The Whatcom County Council removed Sudden Valley from the county's urban growth area list on Feb. 28 to prevent it from pursuing city status. The prevention of Sudden Valley's application for city status was a smart move by the council. Sudden Valley, which is located on the west bank of Lake Whatcom, is listed as a Whatcom County recreation area and should remain that way. Sudden Valley becoming a city would raise the number of tourists and residents visiting and living in the area. More people moving in means an increase in the pollution of Lake Whatcom, which serves as a water source and recreation area to more than 86,000 county residents. Our county is polluted enough as it is. City status for Sudden Valley would increase the commercial and residential development around Lake Whatcom exponentially. The fact that they are not cities hasn't restricted the growth of the Sehdme and Fairhaven communities inside of Bellingham. In fact, these two communities within Bellingham have flourished for years. Why should we set apart Sudden Valley as its own city? We shouldn't. Sudden Valley is developed to the pomt of being a city. Destabilizing the Lake Whatcom watershed with further development will unnecessarily damagethe environment. Sudden Valley residents who want to see their tax dollars at work in their own neighborhoods rather than in the county, started the application for city status. If 75 percent of Sudden Valley citizens voted in favor of such a separation, then Sudden Valley has a right to pursue city status. However, Whatcom County shouldn't increase urban sprawl just because certain citizens want to distinguish themselves financially from the rest of the county. Whatcom County will always have certain neighborhoods that are more prosperous than others, but that's no reason to separate those areas into cities apart from the rest of the county.

Bush, president Spring quarter columnist preview Being single is great liquor pros outweigh relationship cons BY LAUREN ALLAIN Forbidden Firuit Relationships are like tequila. At first glance, indulging seems like the best idea ever. As the shots progress they get sweeter and sweeter with the residuals of pure bliss. Until you have overindulged. In that situation you never want to touch, taste or see tequila ever again. Instead of tequila, I think of every shot as a minute-long dose of that significant other. That's my evolving definition of a relationship. My parents met in college so I've grown up assuming I would meet my match here, too. With only four quarters left until I graduate, I'm beginning to think my assumption was wrong. I've met some amazing men thus far, but it's been punctuated by meeting complete douches. The two seem to counteract one another. So here I amâ€”a single girl with high expectations and no date. Most girls would be upset about this but I love it. Therefore, I've come up with a list of the top five reasons why I love being single. Number one: I don't have to shave. Men complain about shaving constantly, but the surface area they have to shave doesn't even equate to one calf for a woman. Shaving both legs takes approximately seven minutes, and when I'm in the shower every morning before class at 9 a.m., losing those seven minutes isn't worth it. That time is dedicated to cereal. When I think about it, no one is going to see my legs anyway, except for that creepy old guy who stops to give me a thumbs-up while I'm running past him. In that instance I'm glad my legs look repulsive. Number two: I have the pleasure of sprawling out on my bed. Ever since I was young, I've been a picky sleeper. I used to make my parents come pick me up and take me home from sleepovers when everyone went to bed because I wanted to sleep in my own bed. My bed is mine. I picked the mattress, the sheets and the number of pillows, and I alone will enjoy it. Nothing compares to the frustration that ensues when I wake up to realize my partner is in a spread- eagle pose in the middle of the bed leaving me with a sliver, which is just enough room to keep one leg and half an arm on the â€”â€”=â€”â€”= bed. Perfect. Number three: No one is there to control single means that I never have to awkwardly tell my friend/family/ prospective boyfriends that I'm available again. Informing others of a breakup has always baffled me. Am I supposed to send out a mass e-mail titled, "Oops. That didn't work out as planned"? _ Changing the relationship status on Myspace and Facebook is equally awkward. How soon is too soon to change it? Is it too hasty to do it within hours of the breakup? I don't want the ex to think I'm wishing I was still in the relationship, but I don't want him to think I'm stoked to be â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”â€”-â€”=â€”â€”â€” out of it. Either way, 7 will never under- once I change it, my me. stand the way a male Pr o f i l e fows U P ^ v . - . i recently updated. brain junctions when I've never dated dealing with women, anyone who attempted and trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out why men have nipples.' to control me, but I have experience with the ones who constantly like to give suggestions about â€” everything. From what chips to buy at the store to what classes I should take, he had a suggestion for everything. At least he wasn't indecisive, but I'm capable of picking my own chips, thanks. I can also decide when I'm going to eat those chips, when I'm going to do my homework and when I'm going to sleep. Some nights I call it quits at 10 p.m. while other days I stay up until 4 a.m. Having to incorporate someone else's schedule into my lack of a daily schedule is typically not worth it. I start to feel claustrophobic if someone else crushes me, specifically by having to follow his schedule. I have several friends who work at UPS beginning at 3 a.m., and I'm convinced I should date one of them because once they leave for work I can go to bedâ€”alone. Number four: Constantly being So friend's read it and think, "Wow. She's single again. I wonder which one of them fucked it up." And men the questions begin, which is why I think the mass e-mail is the best option. Number five: Relationships are generally not worth the hassle. So far I haven't had one that was worth the time, money and eventual tears. I will never understand the way a male brain functions when dealing with women, and trying to figure it out is like trying to figure out why men have nipples; It's just not worth the effort, and the end result typically means nothing. Having said all this I'll add that all five rules become void when I find the right guy. For now I'm staying attached â€” to tequila â€” because it never complains when I fail to call, it doesn't care if I chose to spend the night with its friend rum and most importantly it never sleeps in the middle of the bed. Gosh, I hope my parents don?t read this.

XXII Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 ~ NO. 16 MAY TRY As was stated in last, week's Messenger, a new club has been organized in the school, known as the Bellingham Normal Drama Club. This club will combine study and interpretation of the drama. No regular meetings will be held by the club as a whole; but from a membership of fifty, casts will be selected for the study and presentation of some drama every quarter. In doing this the club is taking over the forma] class plays, as it has been authorized to do by the faculty organizations committee. No drama will be given this quarter, but the time remaining will be used in organization. Tryouts occur next week, Thursday and Friday, from 3 to 4:30 in room 308. The membership of this club is open to all, regai-dless of club or class affiliations. Each person appearing will be allowed three minutes in which to present some humorous or serious dramatic poem, sketch, story, dialogue, or scene from a drama which will give the committee a hint of his abilities. No manuscripts will be allowed, and no singing or pantomines will be substituted for the reading of lines. Several people may, if they desire, work toge- (Continued on Page Six) ST Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has written Miss Woodard, the Dean of Women, to the effect that the association is planning to give Volumes 5 and 6 of the History of Woman Suffrage, handsomely bound in leather, to the woman student who writes the best essay on the subject, "How can woman best effect good citizenship." Miss Woodard hopes that a large number of the young women of the school will enter the contest. It costs nothing but the effort and time. The books are valuable since they cover the period from 1900 to 1920, just the time when the women of the Northwest were putting up the strongest fight for suffrage. Mrs. Ida Husted Harper spent three years in the preparation of these two volumes. Unlike some contests, .the very work involved is very much worth while. Not only are benefits derived from the practice in formal expression, but the reading and investigation required open up rivers of interest and value. Miss Woodard states that a committee of faculty women will act as judges and formulate the rules of the contest. It is thought best to launch the work immediately in order that the contest may close before the heavy rush at the end of the quarter. All young women wlio are interested are asked to see Miss "Woodard at once. MAY PETERSON, Who Will Sing at the Normal Wednesday Evening, January 24. IS YELL LEADER Angus Bowmer is our new yell leader. He was appointed by the Board of Control. Monday, and was authorized to choose his assistant. Mr. Bowmer was elected to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Dubois Rhine. As acting yell leader, Mr. Bowmer exercised his ability at the games last Friday and Saturday. After witnessing his antics there, everyone felt confident that he will successfully conduct the yelling end of the games during our basketball season. B. S. N. S. NOTICE, STUDENTS! At 10 o'clock, all typewriters are occupied by members of the class in typewriting. Plan your outside typing for some other hour. You are welcome at any time but 10 o'clock. E To Bellingham: We wish to thank the Bellingham students and express our appreciation for the entertainment provided us during our stay. The friendliness and hospitality of the Bellinghamites made this visit the most pleasant trip we have had. Even your team gave us the warmest sort of a reception. We wish to thank all of those who contributed to our excellent time and we promise to do everything we can to give your team the same sort of a welcome when they come to Ellensburg. B. S. N. S. All indications seem to prove that the Seattle club dance will be the greatest social affair of the quarter. Contrary to the usual manner the girls are arranging the programs for the dance. Schirrman's orchestra will furnish the music. TO L May Peterson, noted lyric soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, is singing here the evening of Wednesday, January 24. Miss Peterson, who is making her second trip to the coast, is well 'known here. Miss Peterson is die of nine children, daughter of a Methodist circuit rider who died when she was but a child. She worked her way thru high school and entered the Oshkosh normal which Miss Roberts was at that time attending. Miss Roberts remembers her as a charming, but unassuming girl with a very pleasing personality. Her first appearance was at Oshkosh. This was to raise funds for her training in Europe. When she had $300 more than passage money she sailed for Florence. There she studied under Mmc. Barroechia while at the same time earning a difficult living. She then went to Berlin where she studied under Fer-gussen. She came to America but was told to try opera, and returned to Europe to work under Jean de Reszeka. Miss Peterson made her debut at the Massenett festival at Vichy, singing the title role of "Alanon." This was one of the most nerve racking events of her life as" the cast of this opera is always supposed to be experienced and so no rehearsal was held. Altho she was a novice, her success was complete. In 1914 the war disrupted the "Opera" (Continued on Page Six) BELLINGHAM NORMAL TO PLAY CHENEY The Blue and White, having tasted victory at the expense of Ellensburg, are working hard to get in condition to meet the hoopsters from the Cheney Normal, Saturday night. The Cheney delegation is reported to be much stronger than that of Ellensburg. having held the team from the University of Idaho to a score of 18 to 20. Coach Carver feels that the game will be a hard fought battle, and plans on showing them some real basketball. The game will be played in the Whatcom gymnasium, Saturday evening. Starting at 7:30 sharp. A preliminary game will be played between the Normal second team and Nooksack high school previous to the beginning of the big event. The team is expecting the same- loyal support given them by the- faculty and students during the Ellensburg series. A record-breaking attendance is prophesied as interest over last week's games with Ellensburg is still at high pitch and students will be there to compare the playing of the two sister normals. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 2 ---------- BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1923 PURE, WHOLESOME FOOD SERVED RIGHT DOLAN'S CAFE Opposite Leopold Hotel 1209% Dock St. Bellingham, Wn.

D. Show-alter said this morning. The following is an exact copy of the bill which will be' presented before the legislature some time during the session: An Act Empowering the Granting of Degrees by the State Normal Schools of Washington When Conforming to Prescribed Curricula. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Washington: Section I. The degree of A. B. or B. S. may be granted to any student finishing one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the State Normal schools in the State of Washington; provided said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training. "This bill has been agreed upon by all of the State Normals in Washington and lias the approval of legislative members who nave been consulted concerning it. President Henry Suzzalo of the University of Washing-ton has expressed himself in hearty accord with the Normal school plan to grant degrees and lias discussed the matter with the cleans of his faculty, who have also approved the plan. •'Our alumni association is enthusiastically in favor of the idea and has promised to lend the support of their organization. There is also general agreement among business men, as well • as teachers, that the degree granting power is in keeping with the educational plan adopted in many of the states. "Every state beyond Idaho to the Atlantic seaboard, except Wisconsin, has a degree-granting institution for teachers. Even among the southern states Texas has five Normal colleges and South Carolina also has granted the privilege to her Normal schools. "Practically all northern states have made their Normals real teachers' training centers with degree-granting privileges; California, also, has recently given this right to her Normal schools,'' said Mr. Showalter. —State Normal School Journal, Cheney, Wash.

RECEPTION TENDERED ELLENSBURG QUINTET A delightful reception was given at Edens Hall from 1 to 3 o'clock, Saturday afternoon, in honor of the Ellensburg basketball team. The entire Ellensburg quintet were there to. enjoy the B. S. N. hospitality, besides a large representation of the Blue and White boys. Tho the reception was more or less impromptu, there was a large attendance from the hall and from those living outside. Punch was served thruout the afternoon. A remarkable feature of the afternoon was the orcestra that played for the dancers. It was a combination of part of Ellensburg's orchestra, rendered by the visitors, and the Normal orchestra. There was quantity as well as quality. Sunday a small group of girls spent the evening with Miss Sperry and Mrs. Campbell at the home of Mrs. Guilder - son, on High Street. Vivian Gunderson, who graduated from the Normal last June was also at home for the weekend. Mrs. Campbell related many interesting experiences which she had met with during her work as a Bible teacher, and also told of some strange experiences of her son and daughter who are missionaries on the foreign field. It was with real regret that the girls said good night to Mrs. Campbell, for her brief visit had proved a joy and an inspiration to many. B. S. N. S. SMILES.

One of the things we are expected to do is to transport them from hotel to gymnasium and other places about. To do this cars are necessary. All schools have this same problem, and most of them solve it by an appeal to the student body. This appeal is generally answered at once. But is this the case with the Normal ? From the Eilensburg experience, we would say not. Twice we had a sufficiency of cars. Twice decidedly not. But we are not going to come to a general conclusion on only one instance. We are going to wait until after the Cheney game tins week. We will need several cars three or four times Saturday, and possibly Friday. How many people are going to come forward with offers of help? We know that some of those who helped before, and all thanks to you public spirited ones, will be with us again. But we need even more cars.

Once upon a time there were two brothers, whose names were Carl and Orville. They were knights errant, and they sat by a fountain outside the castle gates, waiting to fight with Arthur's knights. Arthur did not know what to do about it, so one day lie put on his tin suit, and went out to chase them away. After he had beat themi up, he complimented them on their good sportsmanship, and asked them to come in and join the Round-ta-le. The accepted and were welcomed into the crowd. Everybody liked them quite well, but they liked Orville best, because Carl had such a vicious temper. Sir Carl tried manfully to overcome this affliction, but just as sure as he became angry, he was likely to do something awful. Once he even swore at his noble charger. Now Orville was a trusty knight, and t.ie king often sent him. on important missions, while Carl was kept ajt Can-a-Lot, in order that he might not disgrace the Round table with his impulsive temper. Poor Sir Carl felt his limitations and often wondered how he could improve himself. He had always admired Arthur's beautiful queen, and thot that she might be able to help him. "Most gracious queen," he said, "if you would let me wear some token of your's on my shield.. 1 know that I should oe a better man." She gave him permission, and the next day he had the token, in the form of a spit-curl, painted on his shield. In spite of the great moral encouragement this gave him, one day he felt quite blue; so he jumped on his horse and rode away. A few days before, Sir Orville had been sent out to the forest to find a demon that hid there, and destroy him. Sir Carl rode thru this same forest, seeking solace for his weary soul. After riding for quite a while, he stopped to rest under a tree, and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a girl sitting on a horse watching him. "Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Bee," she said, "and yours is Hoggat, isn't it?" She went on without waiting for an answer, "What is that sign on your shield ?" "It is the Queen's token," he Sir Carl H. reverently., Bee winked at her companion, Helen, and they laffed long and loudly. "Ha! ha!" said they. "That's nothing," and Bee added. "If I had a reputation like that woman's, I wouldn't be handing out any tokens to innocent, simple little lads like you." At first Carl was angry, but they spoke with such sincerity, that he was forced to believe them. And then he was mad—Oh, My!!! To think how he had been fooled. He shrieked a terible shriek, and began to stamp on the shield. Sir Orville, who was near by, heard the shriek and thinking it was the demon, came charging down the forest path. Sir Carl, hearing the clank of armor approaching, pulled down his visor and prepared to charge the knight who was coming toward him. Each one's lance pierced the other's armor. The lances were shattered. Then each drew his sword and dashed at his opponent, not realizing that he was. fighting his own brother! Finally they fell, dying, into each other's arms. Bee and Helen, thinking the knights were dead, hopped off their horses and unfastened their helmets. Then they rode away. The fresh air revived the brothers and they came too, long enough for each to explain how sorry he was, and they died in each other's arms. —Balin and Balan by Alfred Lord Tennyson.

O. Holland gave an address on "'How to Do Well in Your College Studies" as an aid for the students of the State College of Washington in their subjects. Because of its commendable qualities it has been printed in "School Life," and "The Cougar," and it is now passed on to normal students who may find some worthy advise. "If you want to do' well in your college studies, you must begin well, you must be sure to master thoroughly the daily tasks assigned to you during the first four weeks of the freshman year. If you can get the first month's assignments in all your studies so tint t'ir-y are a real part of your knowledge t'nil thinking, you wave taken the first great step toward success and happiness in your college career. "The first four weeks' work can not be thoroughly done unless, you are present at every recitation and listen attentively to the questions and discussions. In addition, you must be able to get thoroughly each day's work. Do not miss a single day of study; go into each class room with the idea that you will be called upon to answer all the questions and that you can do so without difficulty. When the questions are asked by the instructor, think quickly and see if the answers you have in mind are correct. If you discover your answers are wrong or only half right, you may be sure you have failed to give enough time to your assignment; or worse still, you have not learned to study and to know when you have your lesson. "You must be able to apply some of the simple rules of study if you are to succeed. If you do not, you will do poor work and much of your effort will be wasted. The best brain in the world is one that learns rather slowly, but keeps the information for a long while. The poorest type of brain is one that learns very slowly and forgets quickly! Very few of us have the best type of brain, but most of us possess the second-best type, which we must use so we can get the.greatest service from it. "Such a brain will not work well unless we help it all we can. It must be trained. President Eliot, of Harvard, has said that the greatest thing toi get in college is the trained capacity for mental labor, rapid, intense, and • sustaining. He adds. "It is the main achievement of college life to win this mental force, this capacity for keen observation, just inference and sustained thought." "Now. let us ask, how can we acquire this trained capacity? The pyschologist has answered the qeustion. "'Have a fixed time each day for the preparation of each lesson. Do not let anything break into your schedule of work. Follow a fixed schedule of work for a month and you will be likely to follow it for four years. '"Study the lesson as a whole, to get a general idea of its content and then go back and analyze it carefully. Ask yourself questions about the lesson, and try to answer these questions, dial-, lenge any statements you dp not under-' stand and then see if you find justification for them in the lesson. "Make a synopsis and visualize it so that the relationship of the various parts is clear in your mind. I "At all times, work with concentration. Get into the study with a deter-' mination to understand every part clear-1 ly so that you individually, could answer ! all the questions that might be asked by f the instructor: or you could stand before the class and explain the lesson in de-! tail. An hour of concentration is worth I a half day's time spent in study when | you are not giving it your best interest, i Others have made fine records in this i work—so can you. "Occasionally review the past month's I or week's work; see if you understand I it and can make a sumary of the es- J sential points. | "Make yourself assume the attitude you would have if you were playing tennis, basketball, football, or any other game. game. Go in with all the interest, concentration, and drive you possess. You want to win in play; be victorious in the intellectual challenge that has been thrown down to you. Don't be a quitter, and don't be a second-rater. Summary. First—Plan a Study Schedule. "It will make you an orderly worker; make your work more efficient. "Y7ou will know what you want to do, and can start at once, not waste time. "It will distribute your time fairly, so you will not give it all to one difficult or attractive subject and neglect others. Second—Schedule Your Day. "Work out how much time you give to sleep, meals, recreation, recitations and home duties. "Divde the remaining time, your study time, between the subjects on your study schedule. "Put the first hours, when you are fresh, on the things hardest for you; leaving notebook writing, map making, and like work until later. Third—"Look After Study Conditions. "Have a definite place for study as well as Time. "See that the heat, light, fresh air, and quiet make study easier. Ilemove pictures and other distracting things from your desk or table. Furth—Learn To Concentrate. "Do not look up when someone comes into the room. "Have one chair in which you never do anything but study. "Making an outline of the work that you are to cover in a lesson helps. "If you mind wanders, try studying aloud, or (if it disturbs others) with moving lips. "Sometimes writing out the statement or statistics to be learned while saying them aloud, helps fix them in mind. Fifth—Be Interested. "Forget that you are working for your instructor; you are really working for Yourself. "Find the connection between the subject you are studying and the things you are interested in. "Do not swallow the statements whole, but face them intelligently, see if they seem reasonable to you, if not, find out Why. "Make a. sporting proposition of it. Don't be a quitter or a second-rater. You have as good a mind as your fellows. You can make a good record, or better. It depends on your method of study and vour Will. B. S. N. S. ELLENSBURG'S IDEA OF THE BATTLES Fans here are unable to understand the setbacks received at Bellingham Saturday, unless the cracker box gymnasium at Bellingham was too big a handicap for the vistors. —Ellensburg Evening Record. WINNING A LETTER RUEL KNOWLTON When Young Johnson' came to Lin-- clon High School, he wore short trousers. He was slightly over five feet in height, and weighed only ninety-eight pounds. He knew a good deal about football, and his one big ambition was to win his high school letter in the gridiron sport. On the Monday afternoon preceding the final game with Franklin, Johnson gave an impromptu exhibition in the art of kicking goals. Coach Laws had called the players to one end of the field in order to instruct them in a new kind of forward pass formation; and Johnson had picked up one of the stray footballs lying about, and had begun Ir's usual kicking practice. After a time, Laws himself led his squad to where Johnson was performing, and watched for a time without comment. After the little fellow had kicked eight goals in succession, however, without the semblance of a miss, the football coach turned to his squad with twinkling eyes. "That big fellow there thinks we need a goal-kicker on our team," he announced. "And he is showing us how it ought to be done." Ten times, in rapid succession, the under-sized fellow had kicked the pigskin fairly between the posts and over the bar. The coach knew that he had no one on the squad that could do that. Laws held out his hand saying, "You can report with the teani at the station on Saturday morning and go to Franklin." The next day. the little fellow sat on the bench most of the game. Franklin had made a touchdown, and they failed to kick a goal. Lincoln nad just made a touchdown and had one minute to play. And then Johnson remembered that the game was practically ended. Wide-eyed, he turned and found Coach Law's eyes fixed upon him. "Coach," he said, "if you will give me a chance, I can kick that goal for the team. I know I can." For a moment the coach did not answer, and then with one of his characteristic quick decisions, he nodded permission and said: "Go on the field for full-back, and the team will know what you are there for." The ball sailed upward fair and true, and cleared the cross bar at the very center. He had Avon thea game for his school in the last few seconds of play .uul his school would not forget it soon. And so it was that little Johnson, hardly five feet in height and weighing less than a hundred pounds, earned his school letter in football. B. S. 2sT. S. GIVE 'EM A CHEER! Give 'em a cheer! Who?

How I would love to be with j'ou again and to tell you of this country, so different from anything in the States and so little known. "I have just returned to Manila,, after spending two montns in the far interior of that great Philippine Island so far to the south, vast, mysterious, and half explored Mindanao. I traveled nearly 1,000 miles, making a reconnaissance of lakes and rivers, for the purpose of making recommendations about the introduction and planting of food fishes. "Climbing giant voleanos, visiting remote mountain lakes, riding or hiking for hundreds of kilometers thru tremendous forests with all the wealth of tropical vegetation possible, strange flowers, tangled vines, monkeys, screaming cockatoos, and beautiful song birus, days and nights in narrow, cranky, dugout canoes threading interminable swamps peopled with an almost incredible number and variety of water birds and covered for miles and miles with glorious pink lotus—such were some of my experiences. "'My trip to Lake Nuniulgan was Jin interesting one. Leaving Ganassi. a village at the southwest corner of Lake Lanao, which lies at an elevation of 2,200 feet, we traveled to the southwest. For two or three nours we rode over a region, of high grass covered hills, threading our way thru fields of upland rice and passing many strange Moro houses. Gradually we left tin's all behind and wound our way up into the great forest covering the mountain range which we must cross. Here were enormous trees WK.. far flung wall-like buttress roots, and grotesque, incredibly huge wild figs or banians filling the air with a multitude of roots. Higher up were miles and miles of those most beautiful creatures of all the plant world, tree ferns, ten, twenty, forty feet in height, while in the wet places pandans hobbled around on their strange prop-roots, their crowns raised eighty or ninety feet aoove. In one part we traveled under lofty arches formed by giant bamboo, e:ich clump many yards in diameter, each stalk as thyck as my thigh, and their delicate tips swaying seventy-five feet or more . in the air above. "My, what grand fishing poles they about tiie middle of the afternoon would make for a Brobdignagian! "In time we uegan to descend, following a dashing mountain stream, and cular sheet of water a mile or more in diameter. It is surrounded by a nar-reached Lake Nunungaii, an almost cir-row rim of rice padines, behind which rise great b'lls and mountains of an ap-pllng ptcepness. Clustered at the foot of the highest peek of all, a mountain visible from the coast, lies the village where we spent the night. "I found that the lake had an outlet, its waters flowing off directly into the bowels of the great mountain, so that J thought at once of "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man." "Of great interest to all Normalites would be a visit to the school at Nunun-gan. The building is of bamboo, with split bamboo floor and a grass thatched roof and, like all the native buildings, stands on posts. There is a single entrance at one side and the opposite wall covered with blackboard. "The principal was a Christian Filipino, his assistant a young Moro, for this is in the heart of the Moro country. The principal held his classes on one side of the. central aisle, while his assistant held forth at the otiier end of the room. Most of the children were boys, but there was a fair sprinkling of girls, as the Moros are beginning to allow their girls to go to school. The children were a motley lot, judged by Christian standards, but when I thought of the advantages children have in the United States I was filled with sympathy and compassion for these poor children struggling under such handicaps of poverty, language and religious opposition. All were barefoot of course, since the Moros away from tiie cities never wear shoes. Some boys,and girls wore only a sarong,. a pillow; case like garment, open at both ends. Small boys may luiA'e it twisted around their loins or around their neck, or cover themselves entirely with it. Most boys wore also a pair of very short, skin-tight trousers, on tiie model of bathing trunks; a few were elaborately dressed, with tight jackets and long skin-tight trousers which have to be buttoned around the legs, both garments elaborately spattered with gold or silver buttons. These were the sons of datus or chiefs. Since these people never wash their clothes and have no soap, the sarongs, once white, were now far from., pleasing to the eye. But the children who have had a Tew years of schooling change all this as far as it lies within their power. The schools teach the Moros cleanliness, sanitation, and hygiene, things which are utterly unknown to them otherwise. "The Sultan of jSunungan, a tall, powerful, middle-ageu man, half naked, surprised me by stepping to the front and making a ten minute speech to the children. He was terribly in earnest and looked savage enough to chop off .i head or two. The governor of the .province, who was with me, said the Sultan was telling the children now proud he was of the school, and how they must attend regularly and study hard: in short, he made just such a speech as any prominent citizen WOUK! make in the United States when addressing a school. "I could not help thinking of me wonderful changes time makes. Seven or eight years ago this Nunungan region was infested by notorious bands of outlaws who fought desperately against the coming of the Christian and all uis innovations and now here he is urging the children of the tribe to do the things which upset the old order. These Mohammedans are still a polygamous, slave-holding people but such things wui not last many generations against the increasing influence of the public schools. "Our ride back was in a terrific rainstorm, which broke as we were ascending the mountain. The land-leeches, loathsome, liver-colored blood suckers simply swarmed on the ground and every time 1 alighted I was covered by them. From the trees and bushes kept dropping down more landleeches, handsome gold and green striped fellows but equally voracious. "About noon tiie rain ceased and as we emerged from the dark forest and caught sight of the blue waters of Lake Lanao, hundreds of feet below us, with a rainbow over it twenty or thirty miles off, I felt that traveling in Mindanao had its pleasures in spite of occasional discomforts.

Displaying a whirlwind offense, the Bellingham Normal cage team took the strong Ellensburg team into camp Friday night, by a score of 25 to 1(3, and again Saturday night by a score of 32 to 18. From the time the ball was tossed, there was no doubt as to the outcome of the games. The wonderful passing and team work showed the superior coaching that Coach Carver had given his men. It was hard to pick the stars, as the entire team was of such fine quality. Keplinger, Dawson and Thomas kept the score keeper busy. The support given the team by the students and faculty was the best in recent years. B. S. N. S. Health Rate High. Despite the wet and rainy weather, which causes illness, there has been but one case of real flu reported to the school nurse, Miss Mead. There are, however,, the usual small number of cases of old-fashioned colds and grippe. Those who were ill from too strenuous a Christmas are now on the perfect health list and Miss Mead is glad to say that her services are not so insistent as they have been previously. B. S. N. S. D.

"Come down at once, you rascal!" rages Giles. (At which request the youngster merely smiles.) "Come down!" he roars again. "Hi, Towser, • at him! I'll give the varmint stealing apples, drat him!" "Control yourself, old man," replies the youth: "Your diagnosis scarcely fits the truth. Instead of roaring insults in this fashion I ought to have your pity and compas-siion. "In me you see an ill-used lad, you do— His parents' pride but, ah, their victim, • too! Remote from modern movements, peaceful, quiet, They don't know how to regulate my diet. •' "Hence I must try (as you yourself perceive) To fill the known deficiency they leave. Your charge would move a scientist to laughter: Apples be blowed—it's vitamines I'm after!" The moral is—In these enligthened times It's very hard to say what count as crimes, For almost every kind of misbehaving Is proved to be "a normal human craving."— Lueio. -B. S. N.

Herbert Hansen, who edited the Messenger for three quarters during 1919- 1921, visited the Normal last week. He teaches geography and history, in the grade school at Kent, Washington. The high water in the vicinity of Kent made it necessary to close all school temporarily. Mr. Hansen will be in attendance at the Normal this summer, and intends to complete his third year's work. He states that the majority of the thirty teachers employed by the Kent district are graduates from a four-year college course. B. S. IN. S. A Geometry Problem.

Each girl had the privilege of speaking her mind about things that had been bothering her for some time. Many questions were raised, some of them being: "Why can't the girls have larger lockers or more space anyway, so that our coats may be taken care of;" "We should show more courtesy when we are observing;" "A Girl's club should be started in Whatcom High;" "We should show more courtesy to our speakers in an assembly, and not walk. out;" "The whispering in assemblies should be stopped." ——B . S. N. S., , . - THE COMING OF SPRING. Spring is on her way to greet, us, . How can I prove these words to you? Tust this—now listen closely, And you'll see it's all quite true. Silvery boughs of pussywillow, With boughs bursting buds I've seen... Clothed in crystal fur-topped bonnets, Through their stalks of wood-brown beam. As a sprig of crimson holly Bears a note of Christmas cheer, O'er the snow-roofed home and cottage For a full and glad New Year. So it is the pussywillow In her robes of silvan grey, From her home out in the marshland, Brings to us the new spring day. —^T. La Rouche. B. S. N. S.—• Father, to small son: "If you saw all this wood you can nave the sawdust to play .circus with." ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1923 January 19 - Page 8 ---------- Student Opinions That tne Training school could take care of so many student teachers has always been an interesting fact, but the numbers doing practice teaching at the nine o'clock hour Wednesday and ten o'clock hour on Mondays is simply phenomenal. Did you ever notice them leaving assembly the instant the warning bell rings? Is it not too bad they cannot all sit together near the back of the room so their leave taking would not disturb everyone quite so much? In that case there might not be so general a stampede. Anyway, it does not look very complimentary to the speaker. —M. L. — B. S. N. S. Did you ever go to the bookcase in search of a particular book and fail to find it anywhere near the books numbered as it was? Perhaps you needed it badly and went to the librarian and found that it was neither out nor reserved. You then went back and searched very diligently all the bookcases anywhere near and even between two books of an entirely different subject. Someone had been using it in the library and had not bothered to put it back in the rigth place. So until some energetic people like yourself or one of the library force, sets it right, there it stays. The magazine files cause just the same waste of time. Wouldn't it be grand if all the students would reform in this one particular? —M. L. B. S. N. S. Hello! "Hello!" Doesn't last for a minute, A clear little, queer little word, But,, say! There's a lot of cheer in it. It's like the first chirp of a bird In spring, when the hilltops are greening Right after the cold and the snow I think, when it comes to real meaning- There isn't one word like "Hello." —James W. Foley. "Hello!" Doesn't take but a minute A quick little friendly word. By some seems to have never been heard. Some folks, when they meet on the campus Pass by; without nod or a smile. I think to boost our school spirit They should practice "hello" for awhile. It's full of good cheer when we say it, It shows that we're friends on the hill, We all shouldn't act like we fear it, It scatters bad felings and ill.

Julia E. Whitmore. B. S. N. S. - Dr. Miller Comments. Dr. Miller sumbits a comment on a phase of one of Dr. Sternheim's recent lectures, which involved the characterization of the educational attitude of the eastern and southern sections of our country. Dr. Sternheim summarized in a word, refefing to each section, its so-called educational attitude—that of the East, "finality," and tnat of the South, "sloth." The attitude of the West also, in regard to education, was characterized by the word "novelty." In oposition to the word "finality," as applying to the East, Dr. Miller reminds us of the fact that a very large number of progressive movements originated in the eastern section of the country. For instance, the playground movement had its origin in Boston; also the movement for vocational guidance, originating in Boston and New York at about the same time. The differentiation of the curriculum, of'the . higher grades, to secure more flexible promotion and freedom for vocational work was first tried out in the State of Massachusetts. The elective system in college was first brought into prominence by its adoption at Harvard, and the use of intelligence tests for college entrance was inaugurated by Columbia University. At least four of the newer types of experimental schools, for elementary education are located in the East. Also one of the largest and most progressive teachers' colleges in the world is in New York City. The South, the educational attitude of which Dr. Sternheim expressed as "slothful," has made relatively greater progress in education since 1900 than any other part of the country. Of course they were farther behind, but their backwardness was due largely to the devastation and poverty caused by the Civil War. Industrial progress has, however, bettered conditions. Two of the best teachers' colleges are located in the South. They are Peabody Teachers' College at Nashville, Tennessee, and one at Rock Hill, South Carolina, both of which equal any four-year teachers' college of the Middle West or Western portion of our country. This comment, it is understood, criticizes but this one phase of Dr. Sternheim's speech, as he proved a remarkable lecturer in every respect. But the characterization of the East or South by a single name, though clever, is impossible. B. S. N. S. Hoop Rules. Realizing that there is only one way to get into the pink of condition for basketball, and that is by adopting strict training rules and observing them, the men turning out adopted practically the same rules that they observed last year. It is no secret at least to the members of last years team that much of their success was due to their ability to go just a little harder and longer than their opponents. Several teams had more weight and experience but they did not have the staying powers of the Maroon and Orange. Following are the rules: 1. No dances. 2. No smoking. 3. No pie, rich cake, tea or coffee. 4. No soft drinks with the exception of one milk shake or malted milk a day. 5. No candy. 6. Home at 10 p. m. week nights and 11 p. m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the same as a week night. —North Bend Eclipse. NEWTON'S Incorporated WOMEN'S APPAREL OF QUALITY The HOME STORE 1312-14 BAY STREET A.

Miss Moffat sat by the fire with the "Weekly Messenger" in her hand, opened at "Club Notes." She put on her glasses and read: January—192G. The Alkisiah Club motored over, to their club house at Normal stad, in their Alkisiah Club touring car, last Thursday evening. The meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary. The following business was brought before the house: Owing to the great success in the sale of bulbs and seals at Christmas time, there is considerable amount of money in the treasury. So the club have decided to install a radio set at the club house and send their programs broadcast over the country. After the business meeting a program was given, then the girls spent the remainder of the evening toasting marsh-mallows before the large open fireplace, and playing games. . ' Miss Moffat folded the paper, took off her glasses, and glanced out of the window. "Let us then be up and doing with a heart for any fate. Still achieving, still pursueing, learn to labor and to wait." She smiled to herself and caressed the paper. B. S. N. S. — THESPIAxio. Thursday, January 25th, is a momentous date in the Philo and Thespian clubs. For on that evening the basketball title for both boys and girls is to be decided. The defeated teams will treat both clubs to refreshments, so there is one thing to look forward to, no matter who wins. It has been decided that February 22 is to be the date for the Annual Thespian banquet, so Washington's birthday anniversary is to have an added significance. •' The business meeting finally concluded, a splendid play was presented. Everyone played his part so well that we could hardly realize that they were not who they were pretending to be. "The Dear Departed" was the title of the play and the east consisted of Mr. Slater, Dewey Boman; Mrs. Slater, Madeline Temple. B. S. N. S. OHIYESA NOTES.

NORMAL STUDENTS MIX IN BASKETBALL NORMAL'S W. A. A. IS INCREASING RAPIDLY Excitement ran high Saturday evening when the Fairhaven Alumni lassies mixed with their "used-to-be" Whatcom rivals. Early in the game Whatcom took the lead and the first half ended in their favor. Fairhaven has not forgotten how to come back and the second half was a royal battle. Again and again the score was tied with Whatcom breaking it each time. 18-18 and only a few second to go! Just before the whistle blew a Whatcom forward located the basket and scored 2, thus placing the score 20-18 in Whatcom's favor. The game was played as a preliminary to the Ellensburg-Bellingham game. Though the teams were not representing Normal, they were composed almost entirely of past and present Normal students.

B. S. N. S. The side lines were quiet when Maurie was knocked out by his weighty opponent, Friday night at the basketball game. From the tense silence came a relieved sound when "Bee" Thomas suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, he's got it back!" Leave it to a gathering of healthy, wholesome-minded athletic girls to make things hum. Last Friday evening the girls of the W. A. A. sped from the big gym (and dance hour), towards the cafeteria. At the time, lest all the hungry dancers become suspicious and invade the scene of satisfaction (of appetites) not a word was uttered as to the reason for the rapid migration northward. But—After a repast of pies, sandwiches and various other appetizers, the girls indulged in a yell rally. When it comes to yelling the W. A. A. members are still inoculated with the good old high school peptorism. On getting properly wound up they quietly (?) slipped from the building over to the Fairhaven gymnasium, tiptoed in, and never once disturbed the audience with so much as a whisper. If you weren't at the game you may believe that, but if you are awake at least one period of a day at school within the next six months you may change your minds, for "W. A. A." plans are rising rapidly, and an overflow of something this school hasn't seen for many a day is expected at any time. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. B. S. N. S. Heard in Typewriting Class.

State Normal School Journal, Cheney: Cheney Normal desires that every student and faculty member speak of the Normal using its right name "The State Normal School" at Cheney.

CHENEY TO BE ENTERTAINED GRIDIRON WARRIORS RECEIVE EMBLEMS Block W's were presented to the members of the football squad, during Wednesday's assembly, by Coach Sam Carver. As the names of the players were read, the members of the team came forward and took their place on the platform. Thomas Frank spoke in behalf of the team, and explained to the student body the significance of. the emblem which the members of the team were about to receive, and what this emblem meant to the players. Coach Carver presented the "letters" to the following players: Lawrence Kep-linger, captain (end); Guy Bond, end; Randolph Dawson, end; Thomas Frank, Tackle; Paul Rairdon, tackle; Sam Ford, guard; Dewey Bowman, guard; Ruei Knowlton, guard; Oscar Linstedt, center; Boyde Staggs, quarter; Archie Thomas, fullback; Harold Gaasland, halfback; Ralph Miller, halfback; Walter Vanderford, halfback. B. S. N. S. MUSICAL PROGRAM GIVEN Arangements are being made for the entertainment of the Cheney basketball team which comes here Saturday. The plans of entertainment include a banquet for the teams Saturday evening and a dance for all Normal students Saturday afternoon. The banquet is in charge of a committee chosen by the president of the Students' Association, namely: Tina Pearson, Helen Hightower, and Mr. iKolstad. It will be given for the two teams, the managers, and coaches. Plans for the Saturday afternoon dance are in the hands of Leland Rankin, Helen Goke, Tina Pearson, and Miss Keeler. -B. S. N. S. — Personal Survey. As Dr. Sternheim suggested that the students take a day off and give themselves a personal survey, the matter was taken up in Tuesday's Woman's assembly. The girls are going to survey themselves for a week. Each girl has a card on which she must put down the exact number of minutes spent on each lesson, on outside work, or anything that takes up time. This will help the faculty see who is making the lessons too long, and will also show wherein the students may divide their time more evenly. A very enjoyable musical program was given Wednesday, during the latter part of the assembly hour. A part of our school talent was once more expressed in the following program: Vocal solos Irene Stewart Carissimo by Arthur Penn. Duna by Josephine McGill. Betty Yost, accompanist. Trio—* Marian Westerland, violin. Julia Squires, cello. Mrs. Hagerdorn, pianist. Serenade by Chaminades My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice (from Samson and Delila). Violin solo Marian Westerland Der John der Haide Accompanied by Mrs. Hagerdorn. Appreciation was shown by the applause rendered after each selection.

The negative, especially argued beside the question, appealing only to public opinion. Incidentally, Mr. Bever urged the presence of a good audience at the debates which will take place later in the year, as Mr. Bever expressed it, we should have the same spirit in turning out for debates as has been recently shown toward athletics.

Mrs. Addison Campbell, of Seattle, was the speaker at all of the meetings. She had expected that Mrs. Samuel Bowman, also of Seattle, would accompany her, but Mrs. Bowman was unable to come. Mrs. Campbell already had many friends in the school, and she made many more during this last visit. It would be impossible to say which of her meetings was the most interesting and helpful, but one especially which was very interesting was on the subject of Woman's Privilege and Responsibility. "I believe," said Mrs. Campbell, "that back of every great event in the world's history there has been a woman, sometimes a wife, often a mother, who is in a large measure responsible." Following the custom of previous years, Saturday's meeting was a missionary meeting and Mrs. Campbell Tead a very interesting letter from her daughter in Korea, describing some of the expereinces she had been thru as a missionary there. The Y. W. is grateful especially to the girls who furnished special music at the meetings, Miss Mary Passage, Miss Ruth Markham and Miss Elizabeth Izaacs. B. S. N. S.: Wm.

The Western Front June 1,1990 /Volume 82, Number ^ ^Former custodian wins sexual harassment suit By Derek Dujardin staff reporter A jury awarded $75,000Friday to former Western custodian Kim-berly Abbott for a sexual-harassment suit against the university. While employed by Western from 1986-88, Abbott claimed to have suffered sexual harassment from her supervisor, Gary E. Smith, who allegedly touched her repeatedly in unwelcomed ways. Abbott latercomplained to Smith's supervisors who allegedly did little to curtail the harassment. During the trial,Abbott's attorney David Summers proved harassment took place, but was unable to prove Smithguilty of harassment. Summers also could not prove any other supervisor used demeaning jobevaluations in retaliation against Abbott for complaining, the jury found. Assistant Attorney General JonFerguson said he wasnt sure if the university would appeal. "There are a lot of things to look at andconsider," he said. Smith, 49, said he feels great now the trial is over. "I think the law is a good law, but it can be used as a political weapon against somebody," he said. In retrospect, Smith said he wouldhave requested an internal investigation as soon as the allegations were made against him. Kay Rich,director of university residences, said most of the accusations were made when the guidelinesconcerning sexual harassment of employees were in their infancy. Yet, the jury judged the evidenceusing contemporary sexual harassment standards that didn't exist in 1986. The $75,000 is only half ofthe $ 150,000 Summers requested, but he said he was happy with the verdict and the thoughtfulness the jury used in deciding. The final bill to Western may be much higher than the $75,000 award. The lawconcerning sexual harassment of a Washington state employee, entitles the employee to have alllawyer's fees and court costs paid for by die defendant. The combined fees of the Attorney General,Summers, court costs and expenses could total $110,000 to $115,000. SA committee decides budget By Bruce Halabisky staff reporter After nine months of debate, the Services and Activities committeedecided last Friday to carry over the same budget percentage split between the Associated Students, theDepartmentally Related Activities Council and Housing and Dining as last year. Two alternative proposals â€” one calling for a reduction in Housing and Dining's percentage and the other proposing thepercentages stay the same, but $10,000 be set aside for the Ethnic Student Centerâ€” were voted downby the committee. AS President Kent Thoelke's idea of reducing Housing and Dining's percentage toobtain the necessary AS funds for the proposed Ethnic Students Center next year was criticized by Roger Oettli, business manager for university residences. "We have two major revenue streams, one is student rent and one is SA fees," Oettli said. "If one revenue stream is affected then we have to make up for itin the other. We may have to look at catting some of the equipment at KUGS, we may have to look atcutting some of the equipment at Lakewood or we may have to raise student rent." See Budget on page2 Western student dies in accident By Bretha Urness-Straight staff reporter Western student, James"Jamie" J. Stanton Jr., 21, died from head injuries in a motorcycle accident Friday, May 25. Stanton,the son of James Stanton of Kirkland and Barbara Stanton of Mount Vernon, was a junior majoringin environmental economics. Stanton was heading southbound on Chuckanut Drive when he entered thenorthbound lane while taking a corner. Witnesses said Stanton was forced to swerve when heencountered a northbound car driven by a Western student on a geology field trip. Stanton lost control, hit a natural rock ledge and died immediately from head injuries, police reports said.

Greg Anderton, AS vice-president forExternal Affairs, initiated the idea of removing the magazines, after expressing concern about thebookstore selling what he considers pornographic material and the affect it has on readers. "I don't feelcomfortable removing them without more student input," Anderton said. "But people need more education about the affects pornography have." Other possibilities considered were a ban on the magazines orusing money from sales of them to educate students about pornography. The'board agreed a student vote was the best alternative, but suggestions to put it on the ballot with yesterday's scheduledpresidential run off concerned board members and students, who said they wouldn't be able to inform thestudents about the issue soon enough. The run off election was cancelled after candidate Joe Patrick was disqualified for illegal campaigning on his KUGS radio show. "I think that if we 're going to pass it on tothe students (and let them make the decision), we might as well be responsible about it," said ChristineHart, AS vice-president for Internal Affairs. Jack Smith, adviser to the board, said the AS could removethe magazines now and ask students in a referendum if they should be put back. "I feel comfortableremoving this material," Hart said, "because we try to make our campus as safe as possible and then we have this material in our bookstore that promotes rape and other violence against women." The onlyvoiced opposition came from AdamFranks, next year's AS vice-president for Internal Affairs, who said hedidn't approve of the magazines, but believed individual freedom of choice should be preserved. "It's not ademand for the product, but the principles of freedom of choice," Franks said. "I think people should havethe right to decide for themselves what they want to read and what they don't want to read." Members ofWestern's Women's Center attending the meeting said keeping the magazines violated otherConstitutional freedoms. "If pornography is allowed because of the First Amendment," said one member,"then that's violating the women's rights for equal safety under the law which is in the FourteenthAmendment." Removing the magazines is not a ban, Hart said, since students can still buy them off-campus. Board members voting to remove the magazines until a referendum can be set were Hart,Anderton, AS vice-president for Academic Affairs Ericka Jackson and AS vice-president for ResidenceLife Leslie Jensen. Members voting against the measure were AS president Kent Thoelke,Secretary/Treasurer Bob Visse and Vice- President for Activities Theresa Bertrand. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 By Mark Sabbatinl ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ filed the complaint, after listening to and taping part of a May 27 showhosted by Patrick where Chairperson Dave Mason said Patrick would be disqualified and his opponentMark Aaserud property use, the preamble of the Code promising a fair and impartial election and theKUGS lelatedto the campaign, including his reasons for voting to reduce funding for Departmentallyresult.

"I think Joe has to be heldaccountable. This was a situation Women need voice By Julie Davisson staff reporter The Commissionfor Women is looking for four new members for the 1990-91 academic year. Chairperson ConstanceFaulkner of Fairhaven College is accepting applications for two faculty, one student and one classifiedstaff member to fill the voluntary positions open on the commission. The applications must include ashort written statement of "her particular interests regarding the status of women on campus," asstated in the May 17 issue of Fast, Western's faculty/staff publication. Faulkner will choose twoapplicants for each of the positions and submit those choices to President Mortimer for a finaldecision. As of May 23, no students have applied. Faulkner said she realizes being on a committeetakes a lot of time, but student input is essential. "It's so hard to get student voices on committeesbecause they're transient and much busier in some ways, but we need it. After all, that's what we'rehere for," she said. The commission was established in December 1988 by President Mortimer on arecommendation by the Women's Resources Council and the Women's Network. The Summary ofCommission for Women's Activities (April 1990) states the group's purpose as follows: to "(1) serve as a liaison to I collect and disseminate information on issues of concern to all women on campus; (2) help improve coordination of efforts to accomplish shared goals and (3) advise the president on gender-related issues." The commission meets once every two weeks to discuss such issues as day careprograms, sexual harassment, personal safety, advisement for older returning students and manyother issues relating to women' and the improvement of campus. Faulkner said some of the importantthings the commission accomplished this year were the creation of a Sexual Harassment Task Force,an Ombudsperson and a sexual harassment education program for faculty and staff across campus."We've had a lot of successes this year and we haven't publicized ourselves at all," Faulkner said.Faulkner is leaving the commission next year. "It's a wonderful group to work with," she said. "I'll besad to leave." rÂ»LD Town CAFE Look at the Advantages! 10d cup coffee with meal before 8 am Mon-Fri play the piano for a free drink win the history contest for various amounts of free food fresh bakedgoods delicious daily special (soups, sandwiches and salads) â€¢ smoke free environment gt;occasional live music â€¢ intelligent staff with a sense of humor Mon-Sat 7 am-3 pm, Sun 8 am-2 pm;316 W.

Smith pointed out Housing and Dining originally received a straight fee of $25from every student and not a percentage cut of the SA funds. Despite Smith's arguments, Thoelke'sproposal was voted down. This rejection follows the rejection made May 22 of a previous proposal calling for a reduction in DRAC's budget. Immediately after the failure, Tina Brinson, a representative of DRAC, put another proposal on the table which would set aside $10,000 for next year's Ethnic Student Center,but would carry forward last year's percentage splits. Thoelke attacked the proposal saying the $10,000would only be a one time solution and the problem of funding the Ethnic Student Center would surfaceagain next year. "I would hate to see one quarter million go toward (building) the Center and then have$10,000~ to run it," Thoelke said. Brinson's proposal subsequently failed. As the meeting dragged onwithout the SA committee reaching a decision, all parties involved appeared unwilling tocompromise. In a state of frustration, Joe Patrick, SA committee member said "I say let's just go fora one-third split and tell everyone else to kiss off!" After all the discussion, a third proposal was finallypresented calling for the exact same percentage ;arry-over as last year. This proposal jassed leavingDRAC, AS and Hous-ng and Dining, after nine months of liscussion, with the same budget percentagesas last year. The SA committee's budget will now go to the board of trustees for final approval. In other actions the board: *placed a two-year written reprimand citing "human error" in Social IssuesCoordinator Chad Goller's personnel file after he used a state computer for campaign purposes in the AS election. *held over a request from Election Chairman Dave Mason for $586 to fund yesterday'scanceled presidential run-off election between Joe Patrick and Mark Aaserud. They also denied hisrequest for reimbursement of 144 hours of claimed overtime work, saying it would set a dangerousprecedent for other AS members working extra hours without compensation. ^discussed thepossibility of using $ 100,000 from the bookstore reserve for a Minority Retention Scholarship. Thescholarship would be awarded to currently enrolled minority students with a 3.2 or greater GPA. Thescholarship would consist of interest from initial money deposited. *Former legislative liaison ScottOlsen made an employment termination appeal. Olsen said the board gave him the alternative ofresigning or being fired, but gave him little grounds for the request. "The way he related to people downin Olympia was not working out," Bertrand said. After dismissing the appeal, Thoelke said Olsen shouldtake legal action if he wanted to pursue his complaint further. "That is my intention," Olsen said.

( ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 3 Protesters raise awareness about jail conditions By EstherEwell staff reporter Four Western women were among the six who demonstrated in front of theWhatcom County Courthouse at noon Thursday to raise awareness of jail conditions and inequalities that exist for the poor. Sharon O'Connell, Collette Holten, Lucy Colvin, Kate Blake, Swaneagle and Adrienne Papermas-ter walked down to the corner of Grand Avenue and Lottie Street carrying signs protestingconditions they say exist, such as bad treatment of the poor inmate population, lack of ventilation andovercrowded jail cells. The protest resulted from information relayed by Nikki Craft, the women's rightsactivist arrested May 23 for malicious mischief. Craft was arrested after tearing up four issues of theJune Esquire magazine in Village Books. Swaneagle of Lummi Island said, "What's wrong with thesystem is this: There are two classes of people. One who can post bail and those who can't. And thosewho can't are subjected to harsh conditions that are unjust and unfair." Collette Holten feels thecurrent judicial system finds people guilty before being proven innocent. People who are unable to postbail must wait in the jail until their trial, which can take months. Holten said, "What about the time spent in jail if found innocent? Do you get compensated for the time you spent in jail? For the misery of it, thelack of exercise, lack of privacy, overcrowding and lack of freedom. Just because you couldn't post bail." One protester, Kate Blake, said the overcrowding of the jail could be greatly reduced if people awaitingtrials for non-violent crimes be released from the jail. Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount said thecourt tends to be lenient and release people on their personal recognizance if they can show any ties inthe local community. "Like with Nikki Craft Her friends have volunteered to bail her out. She TylerAnderson/The Western Front Protesters rallied in front of the courthouse Thursday to make people awareof jail conditions and inequalities against the poor. didn't take it," Mount said. "If she's so concernedabout her fellow inmates, she could accept her friends hospitality and we would have one less bodyinside." Protester Sharon O'Connell said Craft doesn't believe in posting bail. "She's in solidarity with thepoor women in the jail," O'Connell said. One result of jail overcrowding is that 14 women are sharing aneight-bed cell, Holten said. Mount agrees with the protesters on their concern of the overcrowded jails."We are definitely overcrowded. We're the 14th most crowded jail in the state according to statisticsgiven to us by the Washington Association of Sheriff and Police Chiefs," he said. Mount said over theMemorial Day holiday weekend, the jail had 173 people in the 148-bed facility. "It's not just the women'scell; the whole system is overcrowded," Mount said. Because of overcrowding, the ventilation system inthe jail is taxed to its maximum capacity. The inmate Tired of Studying? Need a Break? RENT AMOVIE!

Protesters claim themeals fed to the inmates arc unbalanced and designed to mentally slow down the prison population.Mount responded by saying, "Ask school kids or military members. Anything that is cooked in a massway does not appeal to everybody, but they are nutritionally sound." The jail menus are periodicallyreviewed by nutritionists to assure the nutritional standards. "If we get a complaint, we ask them (thenutritionists) to come over and see what they have to say about it," Mount said. Inmates are given anhour a week for exercise. Protesters said this isn' t enough time to maintain good health. Mount saidthis situation is because of the workload in the prison and the limited number of personnel. "It's beenthat way for four years. It won't change in the near future until we can increase our staffing so we canmove people back and forth easier," Mount said. Western graduate student Lucy Colvin hopes theprotest will bring about changes in the jail conditions and help the people who are too poor to post bail.We need you WE'RE FIGHTING FOR American Heart YOUR LIFE Association -lt;v .a OFF CAMPUS THIS SUMMER?

John Paul Jones De Joria is owner of Paul Mitchell Inc., a hairproducts company, which has donated more than $20,000 to the project, along with a guaranteed entryinto the World Solar Challenge in Australia in November. The Challenge race only allows 30 entries.Three of these positions will be taken by the top solar cars at this summer's General Motors Sun-rayce.The three winners of the Sun-rayce will have all expenses paid by GM to the race in Australia. "I know of no other schools that have entered the Australian race," said Bill Lingenfelter, solar car team captain.De Joria entered his first car, the Mana La, in the 1987 Sunrayce, but because of rule changes, hecouldn't race the same car in this summer's race. He was in the process of building his own entry forthis summer's race when he found out about Western's solar car through a friend at Boeing, Bill Yerkes,Lingenfelter said. De Joria asked Yerkes about which school would win the GM Sunrayce and herecommended Western's car, Lingenfelter said. "He really thinks we will do well," Lingenfelter said. "GMhas also put us at the top of their list to win." "It's not so much the entry, but the use of his grandfatherclause into the race," said Michael Seal, Director of the Vehicle Research Institute. "He thinks wehave a better chance of winning and he's indicated that there could be more (monetary donations)." Allother colleges are relying on winning the Sunrayce in order to go on to the challenge race in Australia,but we aren't, Lingenfelter said. De Joria has been described by the media as a aging hippie who isinterested in solar cars and energy conservation, Seal said. "I think he is really aware of the problems ofthe earth," Seal said. Western's solar car is an unusual design in comparison with its competitors. Itwill be a two passenger car that will be driven facing the east in the morning and turned around to facethe west in the afternoon. Viking XX will have a competitive edge because of the two passenger rule,which allows more solar cells on the car's body. It will be the only car of its type in the GM Sunrayce.The Viking XX is expected to break world records for solar-powered cars by averaging 50 mph on levelroads. Gerald J. Reilly/The Western Front Western's Viking XX has received donations from varioussources to help fund the trip to Australia. It will be featured in the June issue of Popular Science and willbe on the front cover of the August More recently, the Viking XX project received a $5,000 donation fromBellingham Cold Storage. The team is still working toward Students protest elimination of ethnic centerBy Mark Sabbatini staff reporter Associated Student Board budget healings on May 30 were dominatedby students protesting the elimination of the new Ethnic Student Center's administrative budget,which would prevent it s planned opening in November. Because the center's $42,000 request is a newbudget item, it was last on the budget list, said AS president Kent Thoelke. The proposed budgetalready contains a $10,000 deficit, after $120,000 in cuts were made to the $1.1 million budget. "It couldhave been any new program," Thoelke said. "When you have a budget with new programs and themoney doesn't come in, you cut the new programs." However, students attending the meeting claimedthey weren't just "any new program." "I'm very offended as a minority student on this campus that thiscenter is not going to happen," said one student. "This issue has been talked about as long as 20years ago and other campuses are further ahead then we are. I'm wondering what kind of message thiswill give to minority students we're trying to recruit." However, AS board members said money will befound to fund the Center's operations, since approximately $250,000 has been spent to build it. Funds aren't available because of an $80,000 shortfall in the AS budget, which resulted from estimated lower expected enrollment figures. If additional revenues are raised, through higher prices or lower discountrates at the bookstore, some of the money could be used for the center. Thoelke also urged students to talk with Service and Activities Fee Split Committee members, who voted 5-4 not to give a percentage ofmoney from Housing and Dining to the AS to resolve its budget problems. If a member who voted against the proposal calls for a new vote, the issue could be reopened, he said. "What I was hearing in thecommittee meeting was that everyone supported diversity as long as it was done in a status quosetting," said Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board of Directors. "That's almost impossible to work out, which I guess gets to the root of support for diversification at Western." Social Issues CoordinatorChad Goller said he intends to attend the SA committee meeting because "I think it's important thatwe tell these people we're tired of the lip service that this university's given." finishing the solar car alongwith trying to find the funds for travel and lodging expenses for the team members.

"Some Things We've Done," is the title of an exhibit featuring the works of Western studentsGarth Mix and Kwok Wong. The exhibit has certain undertones but for the most part, the title of theshow does a good job in summing up the work featured. Wong seems to enjoy delving into the realm ofthe human mind. His Picasso-ish style can be appreciated by all who attend. He dabbles in theabstractâ€”the inner self. The end result stirs a variety of emotions. To the common observer, pain andfear are the dominant elements in his work. Wong's work "A Poet," demonstrates his dealings in theabstract. This drawing shows an apparently frightened woman staring down at a pool of water. Herreflection, however, is not her own. The reflection she sees is that of a man, who seems equallyfrightened. Another one of Wong's works titled "The Great Depression" features wretched, mangledhands reaching up into darkness. The feeling one gets from looking at this work is one of injustice.Wong's drawing of Lucille Ball deviates from his other works featured. It is a portrait done withexquisite detail. It is of photographic quality. Mix combines a variety of feeling in his work. Someof his more impressionable works include "Contribution Exxon" and "Stacks." Both works deal withman's negative effect on the environment. "Contribution Exxon" is a graphite drawing of a bird coveredin oil. The bird is obviously dead or dying. The detail in the drawing is of phenomenal quality andshould be seen by all who appreciate fine art. "Stacks" is another graphite drawing. The work shows a woman sitting by a cliff overlooking a valley. She is staring somberly at huge smoke stacks in thedistance. It is another great piece of artwork. "I come from Kodiak, Alaska," Mix said. "I have workedextensively in the wilderness and have seen the impact we have on the environment" It is quite obviousMix doesn't like what he sees. This is clearly defined in his artwork. Mix uses what appears to be thesame girl in many of his works. She is placed in a variety of environments and situations. She addsgreatly to the mood of the pieces in which she is featured. "It isn't any one girl," Mix said. "However, agirl I met when I was a freshman was used as a model for some of the works." Mix is a Graphic DesignIllustrating major. He is currently in his junior year. Both artists show a wide variety of styles in theirdisplays. "Basically, I've just been experimenting with the different styles to figure out exactly what itis I want to do," Mix said. "I'll probably go the commercial route," Mix said. Whatever the case, bothartists are extremely talented. Their displays in the Viking Union Gallery run through June 1. If youhaven't seen the exhibit yet, definitely make the effort to see their works. You are bound to be pleasantly surprised.

No morebreasts and snakes By Jeff Galbraith guest columnist I was reading the Front the other day (because,of course, my June issue of Heaving Heavy Bondage Queens hadii'tarrived),andInoticed a recentmovement in the AS. Unfortunately it wasn't the movement of brain impulses. It looks as if there'sgoing to be a very vocal and heavy battle to ban publications at the bookstore deemed as "pornographic." . Thank God. It's about time someone had the balls (or whatever they may have) to stand up andscream, "Blech!" and remove these perv-pages from our view. Naked women are gross and harmful. Noone can dispute that. They perpetuate false ideals and therefore should be hidden from society exceptwithin the walls of very dark honeymoon suites. A . Take, for instance, the Playboy issue lastyear which featured Latoya Jackson (Michael's ex-little sis). The wholly unwholesome pictorial featured poorLatoya forced to lay buck-naked with bloated breasts and a huge python (Hugh Hefner later felt bad andgave her a few hundred thousand dollars).

Yes, I was there with my ear-lobes decked out with my mom's assorted religiousmedallions and my waver haircut covering three-fourths of my pre-pubescent face. With the help of MTVand KYYX, this was also the year I discovered the one thing that wasn't synonymous with a "passingphase" â€” U2. Something about the song "New Year's Day" with lead singer Bono crooning, "I want tobe with you night and day," made me want to get one of my first album s, War. From the days of pilingon my sister's make-up and hanging out at 7-11,1 discovered my favorite band. With War, U2 broughtme music I could rebel with and for the first time I felt like I knew exactly what my cause was. This band believed in freedom. This band believed in love. And for that period in my live, I felt this band believed inme. The album's first cut, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," questions the practicality of war. Bono sings,"And the battle's just begun. There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug within ourhearts, and mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart" With the Edge's machine gun guitar, AdamClayton's pulsating bass and drummer Larry Mullen Jr's driving rhythms, the band comes across like anarmy. BLAST FROM THE PAST And they should sound this way, for U2 has seen the battlefirsthand. The band's homeland, Ireland, is plagued with revolution, which often goes unnoticed by themedia. Yet, in War, U2 expresses the fears both the Irish population and other war-torn countries faceeveryday. In "Like a Song," U2 confronts the horror of revolution, "And we love to wear a badge, auniform, and we love to fly a flag. But I won't let others live in hell, as we divide against each other, andfight amongst ourselves." In this album I heard the courage to stand up for your beliefs, whether it bein yourself, your country or your religion. U2 is believable. Lou Reed said, "U2's not a pop group. Theyare in this for real." And from the beginnings of the band in 1976, U2 realized then-style involved muchmore than music. About their early acts, manager Paul McGuinness said, "They were very bad, but itwasn't the songs that were the attraction. It was the energy and commitment to performance. Bonowould run around looking for people to meet his eyes." In essence, Bono and the band were looking forus all to get a grasp on reality. Through War, I learned there were much more important things in lifethan my 14 year-old concerns about the pimple on my forehead. The power of love is anotherimportant theme on the album, as addressed in "Drowning Man." I remember Bono promising me, "Takemy hand, you know I'll be there if you can I'll cross the sky for your love. And I understand these windsand tides, this change of times won't drag you away." O.K.,Iknowhe wasn'tpromis-ing ME this, althoughin "Gloria"(off the second album October) he did say if he had anything he'd give it to me â€” Uh huh,yeah right! The album ends with the sing along anthem "40." "40," along with other cuts from War,October and Boy are available on the concert album Under a Blood Red Sky. In concert is where theband's passions take shape. But the album struck something deeper with me â€” it seemed tominimize all the concerns I had about being a freshman in high school, and heighten a new awareness of my own personal freedom.

Jason Tromsness, the 1990 Outstanding Graduate of theTheater/Dance department, sat center-stage in the Old Main Theater making his own sounds on anacoustic guitar while he waited for the sound system to be restored during a "We're Not Your Mother"rehearsal. "We're Not Your Mother" is a performance group he and his friends began which does tenminute experimental dialogues incorporating music, art and poetry. Tromsness isn't quite sure whyhe was recognized as Outstanding Graduate. Taking six years to complete a degree at Western is not a sign of a student extraordinaire, Tromsness said. "I think it's their (the Theater/Dance department)way of telling me it's time to go," he said with a half laugh. "It feels good and I feel like I've maybe left amark here somehow. I think maybe they think I gave the greatest service to the department. That isappreciated but other students, like these guys, deserve it just as much as me," he said as two of his"Mother" cohorts walked into the theater. "I have to thank everything to the wisdom of Bob Dylan,"Tromsness said explaining that George Mount, one of the "Mothers" introduced him to Dylan. "He sayseverything about the human condition in his lyrics." Acting is all about the human condi- â€¢ tion.Tromsness favors being a character actor. "You can show people what they're like and maybe influencethe way they continue to behave," Tromsness said. Acting is an outlet for the powers of observation, hesaid. "Everybody observes what is around them but they don't know what to do with what they learn. Anactor attempts to use every experience to relate to the real world." Playing the villain in a show issomething Tromsness likes but not because .people remember the bad guy. "People don't think theycould ever be a rapist or a murderer but all you have to do is scratch a little off the surface of yourselfand you find you have it in you somewhere," he said. "It is scary but kind of fulfilling. It's like therapy and you don't have to pay for it." Hiding behind characters, costumes and masks is what makes the stageattractive to Tromsness, but hiding is not what he does when it comes to his role within the theaterdepartment. Two months have not gone by when he wasn't involved in a production. He has participatedin approximately 70 shows during his career at Western. Acting is not his only talent. He does a lotof the technical work too. Building and designing sets, costuming, mask- Besides being wanted he willbe allowed to teach classes as well as study there. In the third year of study at USC, master'sstudents attendFoldger's Shakespearean Theater in Washington D.C. to polish their professional acting skills. Teaching theater at university level is Tromsness' career goal. He wants to experienceprofessional theater first so he can bring expertise to the students. He admires many of Western'sTheater/Dance department faculty. "From what I've heard and experienced, this is the best bachelor ofarts program in the state. The faculty and staff teach you by letting you sink or swim. If you have anexperimental idea, they give you the opportunity to make it real. They are knowledgeable and I owe all Iknow about acting to them," Tromsness said. College was not on Tromsness' agenda really love thisplace. It's a family and it is really productive. making and sound are all components of his theatricaleducation. Tromsness will be staying at Western to perform in Summer Stock productions throughAugust 11. But then he won't be hanging around in the Western limelight. He begins his masters program in fine arts at University of South Carolina (USC) on August 20. He was nominated to go to theEducational Regional Theater Auditions (ERTA), where college-age actors have the opportunity tobe seen by university theater recruiters, repertoire theater groups and summer theaters. Tromsnessreceived many offers but chose USC for several reasons. "They really seemed to want me. Instead ofgoing to Rutgers or Indiana University where they'd take me or leave me, I figured I'd go where I waswanted," he said. â€” Jason Tromsness once his dream of a football career was ruined after a work-related knee injury forced him to grope for other alternatives. During high school he was in a rock 'n' rollband and worked part-time. He took an acting class and was encouraged by teachers to continue. "I dothis because it's all that's left," he said jokingly. "I was lousy at building fences and digging ditches, Icould play the guitar but wasn't right for the band's image so I sold all my musical equipment and paidfor my first quarter at Western. "I'm sure I haven't used the time (at Western) wisely ... who does?"Tromsness said. He is also sure he loves what he does and his experience in Western's Theater/ Dance department was something he won't regret. "I really like this place. It's a family and it is reallyproductive. It's going to be hard to leave." $ ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 The Western Front 9 Outstanding graphics by Randall By Julie Davisson staffreporter Five years of hard work has paid off for Western senior Scott Randall. On top of graduating witha Bachelor of Arts this spring, Randall has been selected as Outstanding Graduating Senior for the ArtDepartment. Randall, a studio art major with a concentration in graphic design and illustration andcomputer graphics, said the recognition came as a surprise because he didn't even know what it was.Kristi Lundstrom of the Alumni Office said each department chooses, based on their own criteria, onegraduating student to receive the award. Selection is not necessarily based on grade point average, buton, "what type of student they've been, what they've accomplished and how they've accomplished it,"Lundstrom said. Randall appreciates the recognition, but said, "it's weird to be singled out when youknow everybody's working just as hard as you are." Randall has puthis graphic design skills and talent to good use this year. He has worked at the computer lab in the Art Annex since September. "Computersare a really valuable resource," he said. He said he has learned a lot through his work there, and it hasprovided some valuable experience. In addition to the job, Randall spent time both fall and winter quarters designing posters for Associated Student events and films. Randall designed the posters for suchcampus films as, "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid," "Decline of Western Civilization" (parts one and two) and"Variety." Randall also designed the Accentlogo fortheFront, which is currently in use. This quarterRandall is working on the Klipsun staff as a graphic designer. "(Working on Klipsun) is a greatopportunity for someone in my position," he said. Randall said the experience has made him realize heenjoys working.on publication layout and it will provide valuable resume and portfolio material. Randallsaid having a good portfolio is more important than the degree upon leaving the Art Department. Aftergraduation, Randall and a friend, Liz Johanson, are planning to setup a studio in Seattle and beginfreelance work. "It's a bit scary walking out the door and not knowing (exactly what's ahead)," he said. A dessert and beverage celebration for all outstanding graduating seniors is scheduled for 7 p.m. on June15 in the Viking Union Lounge. President Mortimer and faculty from each department will speak andawards will be given. Paul Turpin Musician plays trombone, reggae By Shirley Mullin staff reporterThe 1990 Outstanding Graduate of the Year award "honors the student who is the best, not necessarilythe one with the highest GPA," said Kristie Lundstrom, staff member of the Alumni Office. The musicdepartment has selected Paul Turpin as its graduate of the year. "I'm honored," said Turpin of his award."There are a lot of surprisingly talented people in this department." Lundstrom said an outstandinggraduate is chosen by every department and each department sets their own criteria for the award.Dr. Mary Terey-Smith, faculty member in the music department said the depart-mentlooks for acombination of things. The first factor was general standing in General University Requirement classes."Paul has a very high general standing," Terey-Smith said. The second factor is individual development at Western. Terey-Smith said Turpin is "active in many areas â€” he plays the trombone quite well,and also is a composer." David Wallace, faculty member in the music department, said the department was encouraged by Turpin's development while at Western. "The music department is fortunate in thatit has a variety of students talented in various areas," said Wallace. Turpin is active in both composingand performing. Paul Turpin The final factor in choosing the outstanding graduate of the year is thestudents service to the department. Turpin participated in ensembles and orchestra, said Terey-Smith. This is the category where creative ability is important, said Wallace. Turpin will receive hisdouble-major bachelor's degree in Music Composition and Trombone Performance and plays keyboardson the Bellingham-based reggae band Jumbalassy (formerly the Almighty Dread). "All-together thesefactors placed Paul high in the standings," said Terey-Smith. Turpin will be entering Western's mastersprogram in musical composition next year in the fall. "Things have been going real well with Jumbalassy, which would have kept me up in Bellingham anyway," said Turpin. Turpin will also be helping out with anew electronic music studio for the music department, which will be ready for use in the fall. CurrentlyTurpin is in the process of producing a Jumbalassy record which the band recently recorded at GothamCity recording studio in Vancouver, B.C. Turpin said he hopes to have a Jumbalassy single out in threeweeks. Turpin gained experience in musical production from time spent at the Fairhaven recordingstudio. "I really like producing," Turpin said. "It takes a combination of all the talents (musiccomposition, music performance and audio recording techniques) I have been trying to learn here atWestern for the past five years." Turpin hopes to eventually complete his doctorate in music composition but says a little time off is in order after getting his masters out of the way. The 1990 OutstandingGraduates of the Year will be honored with a dessert celebration June 15, said Lundstrom. A facultyhost will introduce each graduate with a speech on why the department chose the student. The studentsfamily is invited to attend. The outstanding graduates will be awarded a certificate at the dessertcelebration. The honor will also be written on the commencement program. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front News Friday, June 1,1990 AS budget cuts eliminate some programs By MarkSabbatini staff reporter Final recommendations for next year's Associated Students budget proposeeliminating several programs and AS staff positions, after shortages occurred because of expectedlower student enrollment. The budget allocates $120,480 less than the $1.1 million requested and theAS has a deficit of $10,000, AS treasurer Bob Visse said. The hardest blows were to the Faculty/Course Evaluation Program, the monthly environmental publication The Planet and staff funding for the newEthnic Student Center, which were all cut. In addition, eight AS Productions positions were eliminated,including assistants who post flyers and handle other promotional duties. Visse said increasing revenues through higher prices or cutting discount rates at the student bookstore may be considered, althoughhe would prefer other alternatives. The cuts are necessary because the AS received $80,000 less thanexpected because student enrollment is lower than expected, said AS president Kent Thoelke. Twoproposals were submitted by the AS at the Service and Activities Fee Split Committee, whichrecommended how $85 out of each student's tuition should be divided between the AS, the Departmently Related Activities Committee (DRAC) and Housing and Dining. The first, proposing to cut DRAC'sbudget, was defeated because of a heavy turnout of DRAC supporters. Thoelke said he felt the cut' would have been justified. "The reason for that proposal was the fact that the DRAC proposals were a mess,"he said. "They were hard to read, they had deficits running and I didn 't feel it was appropriate to give them the same amount of money when they were running deficits." A second proposal by Thoelke tocut Housing and Dining's budget by .03 percent was also defeated. The SA committee voted to carryover last year's budgets with proportional increases to each budget. Almost all organizations asking formore money than last year received it, said Christine Hart, AS vice president for Internal Affairs.However, few received what they asked for. We're not going to spend that much money to put thefacility in and then not operate the program. Kent Thoelke, AS President The strongest protest of theproposed budget came from supporters of the Ethnic Student Center, whose $42,000 administrativebudget was eliminated since it is anew organization. However Thoelke said funding will be availablesomehow by the time the center is scheduled for completion in November. "We're not going to spendthat much money to put the facility in and then not operate the program," he said. Funding for ThePlanet was eliminated, Thoelke said, because the AS felt DRAC should support it. "The budgetcommittee decided that students in The Planet were receiving credit from Huxley College and Huxleywas deriving most of the benefits from the program itself, and because of that it was more a department related activity than an Associated Students activity," he said. Sara Olason, editor of The Planet,said it would take a year for DRAC to put the magazine in it's budget and expressed concern for whatwould happen during that year. Hart mentioned the possibility of funding the publication for one year ona "sunset" basis, with publication ceasing if DRAC does not fund it. Cuts to AS Production staff will becrippling, said next year's AS Vice President for Activities Moria Hopkins, because of changes alreadymade in personnel structure. Stanton Continued from page 1 was driving the oncoming car. Accordingto the State Patrol report Stanton was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was driving a1981 Yamaha 750. Stanton's roommate, Todd Rutherford, was accompanying him on his ownmotorcycle. Rutherford, a senior majoring in manufacturing, was escorting Stanton to the Southern tipof Chuckanut Drive to see him off on a Memorial Day weekend trip. "He was going on a trip to EasternWashington. I loaned him my helmet because it was a much better helmet than his," Rutherford said.Rutherford, who was in front of Stanton when the accident occurred, said they had been driving at thespeed of 60 to 65 mph at the time of the accident and the oncoming car tried to get out of the way. "Iwas about 30 feet in front of him," Rutherford said. "I saw the whole thing in the rearview mirror. "When Ifirst saw the accident I thought, 'this is really going to ruin his weekend,'" Rutherford said. "I reallythought he was alive." Rutherford only knew Stanton six months, but he said it was more than enoughtime to really get to know him. "When you met Jamie, you either loved him or hated him,"Rutherford said. "Most people loved him." "Where ever he went a good time followed him," said AnitaM. Poor, Stanton's girlfriend of two months and a junior majoring in environmental studies. "I'm still inshock. It's hard to be here without him." Both Poor and Rutherford described Stanton as a person who lived his life to the fullest. "He liked to go fast.

He always did what he wanted to do." Leathers are pantsand jackets made of leather and are worn as protection by motorcycle riders in case of an accident.Stanton and Rutherford were longtime motorcycle riders and had many opportunities to drive downChuckanut Drive before the accident. "We rode Chuckanut a lot," Rutherford said. "It was just another drive down Chuckanut." "I'll always remember the first drive down Chuckanut when we went to theLonghorn Saloon in Edison," Rutherford said. Rutherford isn't sure when or if he will ride his motorcycleagain and is now driving a borrowed truck. "I gave my dad my motorcycle," Rutherford said. "I've beenriding all my life."

Variousideas for balancing the budget were discussed, but Visse said either an appeal to voting members of the SA committee to change ' their votes or increased revenues from the bookstore were the only optionsleft. Jack Smith, adviser to the AS Board, said using the bookstore for additional funds would be "aneasy out." A one percent decrease in the discount rate would generate up to ^ $40,000, but would set abad precedent. Give Our Kids Room To Grow.

Golf ... it's a gentleman's game. Arnold Palmer,Republicans, yellow slacks and Cadillacs â€” how does one define it? Golf is not just a sport... it's apassion. A passion that breeds deep in the heart of every red-blooded American. No other sport offers the peace and serenity that golf does. It's just you and nature (grass, trees, sand and water) out there on the course. It could very well be the fastest growing sport in America today. Soon, everyone will be flockingto their local course in search of that perfectround... scratch golf. That ever elusive perfect round is whatbrings most golfers out to the pourse at the crack of dawn, day after day. People go about attempting tomaterialize this dream in different ways, whether it be by playing with a set of $1000 Pings or studying aJack Nicklaus golf instructional video. Just as there are many different ways of obtainingthatperfectround, so to are there many different interpretations of the perfect round. For some, it's justthe dream that someday they will break 100 (on a par 72 course), for others it's the hope that one daythey will play a round without losing any balls. Yet, in the end, after that one-hundredth bucket of ballshave been hit and that last series of lessons have been completed, few are any better than when theyfirst started. This is the beauty of golf. It really doesn't matter how good you are, in fact those golfers thatare lacking in skill usually have a better time while playing it. It's those people who take the game tooserious â€” swearing and throwing their clubs â€” that give golf and golfers a bad name. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. Whenyou think about it, golf may be the only equal opportunity sport in the world. No other sport allows menand women to compete together fairly and what's great about golf is that there is no need for competitionanyway. Golf is a relaxing sport to be enjoyed by all; rarely does it need to get serious. Many businessdeals have been finalized on the golf course and many presidential and congressional decisions havecome about during a round of golf, but nothing can compare to playing with a few friends. There's nothingquite like four friends, a case of cheap beer and a golf course to waste away a sunny spring day. It's atime when a few friends can spend some quality time bonding together or working out their problems.So on the next sunny day, call a few friends, grab the hickory sticks and hit the course for a round ofterrible golf and some quality bonding.

What you get is Ray Townsend's racingcar, number 77. Townsend is a senior studying history and races his car every Saturday from the endof March through the end of September at Evergreen Speedway located at the Evergreen StateFairgrounds in Monroe. "I've been going to car races since I was a week old and started racing four years ago," Townsend said. Townsend bought his car for $150 and estimates it is now worth $5,000. Theentire car had to be changed to make it into a race car. A special racing seat was installed and thedashboard was replaced with a sheet of steel. Only the necessary gauges were left, such as the oilpressure, water temperature and tachometer. "The car has a standard transmission three speed andthe engine is a 351 Windsor," he said. "The goal is to get as much weight as possible on the left sidebecause of the turns on the track." Townsend races in the bombers class, which originally was for street cars with minor changes. However people made more and more changes, so the cars were more likeracing cars than street cars. Townsend's racing team, T and B Racing, is comprised of his father,brother-in-law and one pit crew member. "My dad provides the money and my brother-in-law racesanother car." The races begin at 7 p.m. with opening heats determining which cars will be entered intothe main events. The heat races are eight laps and Townsend said usually 10 cars are in each heat andthere is a good balance between the faster and slower cars. There are three main events- a 15, 20 and25 lap race. Townsend has never won a main event yet he still looks forward to the races and isoptimistic about going every weekend. "I like the competition and the challenge," he said. This year, out of six events, the heat and the main race, Townsend has finished 11 times in the top 10 and six timesin the top five. Townsend's average lap speed is 62 m.p.h. and said his high speeds are around 85m.p.h. We're Fighting For Your Life.

The pride that guys take in theirintramural sports T-shirts. I've never seen anything like it before. These shirts get more wear and use then your first pair of Ray-Ban sun-glasses got. Or, when after months of saving, you finally got your mountain bike. Or, remember back in high school and that first varsity letter? Even the letterman's jacket wasn'tquite the same. Sure, you used them all until you thought they were going to wear out, rot or break, butthe similarities end there. Nope, college is the big time, and an intramural T-shirt means you 're the bestof the best that quarter in some sport, and dammit if everyone isn't going to know it! In my four years atWestern, the graphics have stayed the same and only the colors of the shirts seemed to have changed. I have managed to make some observations: 1) Have you ever seen a girl wearing one? They must havethem. I know girls who could kick a lot of guys all over the court or field or pretty much anywhere. So whydon't they wear their shirts? It's a mystery. 2) Guys will wear their shirts no matter how old, how tight orhow ragged they look. I have a friend who won a shirt in 1986 when his softball team won that yearstournament. He still can be seen wearing it on especially bright sunny days when there's a lot of people(girls and intramural losers?) filling Red Square. It's faded, torn and basically pretty grungy looking, but the pride is apparent. Some guys shirts are so tight it almost looks ridiculous. I asked a male friend aboutthis and he said, "Well how else are you supposed to see the muscles?" Hmmmmm. 3) There are noboundaries to the extremes guys will go to get the prized shirt. One friend had just made it to the finals in the spring tennis competition. The next day was the big day, and he was sure he could win. Whathappened? He sprained his ankle. I mean really messed it up. It looked like a golf ball. But that didn'tmatter. He took plenty of Advil, wrapped the ankle H^^^^^^^^HH^^^^^^^^^^H "With Nutri/System, Ipermanently lowered my weight 126 lbs. I lowered my cholesterol, too."

But he won, and now he is proudly wearing his shirt weekly for all to see. 4) Guys hope to woo women with theirshirts. The shirt builds their confidence. It fills them with vim and vigor. Just take a look around at thelocal bars. Statistically, more of my dorm-residing male friends party on weekends with their shirts onthen in any other attire. I've been told it impresses their buddies and is a good way to kick up aconversation with the babes. 5)1 know guys that sleep in their shirts, play other unrelated sports in theirshirts and, when the shirt has been worn to the point that it has been reduced to a mere rag, use it towipe up beer spills. The latter, of course, being the greatest honor of all for these treasured shirts.

SUPERCUTS ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 14 ---------- 14 The Western Front OPINION Friday, June 1,1990 Removal of magazines denies student choiceWestern students are non-thinking machines who shouldn't be allowed to make personal choices. Right? That's the message the AS board sent on Tuesday when four of their members decided for 10,000 otherstudents to ban Penthouse, Playboy and Playgirl from the Student Coop bookstore. The board had noright to make that decision for the rest of us. The real issue isn't the pictures in the magazines, butrather the freedom of choice â€” the foundation of a democratic society. We don't want anyone deciding for us what to do. Censorship is wrong. If anyone objects to those magazines, they don't have to buythem. It's their choice. Or was. CHOICE is important. One year ago, thousands of Chinese students were denied the choice of democracy. On June 4, the Chinese government turned on its own young,opening fire and rolling its tanks over an estimated 1,000 of its most passionate, most hopeful, brightstars. Ev$h a^ear after the Tiananmen Square massacre, the horror continues^. Yesterday three formerhunger strikers, the only open critics of the government since the protest ended, disappeared and theirplanned news conference was canceled. Once taken, democracy is not easily returned. The AS boardseems to think differently. Jack Smith, adviser to the Board, said the AS could remove the magazinesnow and ask the students in a fall referendum if they want them put back. Chinese leaders probably think they are doing the best thing for their people. They're wrong, as is the board. The idea behind theStudent Co-op bookstore is that the students own it and profit from it. The students should be the ones to decided what is sold in their store. A basic freedom is being stripped from Western students. It's time todemand it back before it's lost altogether. The students in China protested and sacrificed their livesattempting to reclaim lost freedom. On a much smaller scale at Western, we must act to preserve ourpersonal rights as individuals. The AS's approval of this ban could begin a dangerous precedent of elitistdecision making. Students need to speak out and let the AS board know how they .feel. Tell them youstill have a brain and want to continue to use it. Call them, write them, stake out their offices and homes. Let them know there's no way Western students will let them start making personal choices for us.'VHHHBlMktti Kathy Tucker, editor; Linda Dahlstrom, managing editor, Sue LaPalm, news editor, KarenLane Hingston, assistant news editor; Kurt McNett, Accent editor; Charlotte Anderson, assistantAccent editor; Ed Treat, campus government editor; Matt Baunsgard, features editor; Deven Bellingar,sports editor; Darryl Carr, assistant sports editor; Theo Gross, copy editor; Leah Linscott, copy editor;Shannon Fowler, typesetter; Tyler Anderson, photo editor; Maria Manliclic, production chief; DeannaOttavelli, production chief; Garth Mix, illustrator; Pete Stelfens, adviser.

NlCEWOWaoANoFARC! 700 Wgt; YOU'LL NEVER GET APURPLE HEAKL CPS Do-wop-wop-wop Bigoted godfather needs backyard tour I Peter Donaldsonstaff reporter met a man last weekend who said with a laugh, "I only hate two things: racists andMexicans." This third-generation, Italian- American may one day be my sister's father-in-law and Idon't see how she can tolerate such bigotry. He reasoned that since Mexico was filthy, disease ridden,poor and economically backward it warranted his hate. I found his words so full of hypocrisy they mademe nauseous. I wondered if he had ever seen the Arno river in Florence, Italy. Muddy brown frompollution and erosion, with enough floating trash to fill a hundred garbage trucks, the river meandersthrough overcrowded, oil-stained streets. The Po river in Venice and the city's canals have ! becomenothing more than a cesspool of human waste. Granted Mexico has its problems, but areas of Mexicoare cleaner and more pristine than Italy will ever be. When speaking money, the peso is no doubt a weak currency, but the last time I checked the lire wasn't exactly a cornerstone of financial success either. Itmakes my head spin to try to understand a free-market economy and fluctuating exchange rates. Sowhen I traveled to Italy two years ago and cashed my dollars for lire, I found it was like trading gold for dirt. I was getting 1,000 lire to the dollar. It doesn't take brains to figure something is wrong here. Of coursethis man in question could claim his years The seed of discontent in the United States have removed him from Italy's problems and he is now a true-blue American. My argument would then seem pointless untilyou consider where he lives: Cleveland, Ohio. Parts of downtown Cleveland are a hell of a lot worse thanparts of Mexico. Just 20 years ago the Cuyahoga river caught fire from industrial pollution. Yes that'sright, a river on fire. Need I say more? He ruined what would have been an excellent dinner withdisgusting jokes about every ethnic group except Italians. I thought I'd enlighten him on the availability ofItalian jokes. Q. What do Italian machine guns sound like? A. Wop-Wop-Wop. I know it's not very funny, but it was the only one I knew. He didn't like it one bit. "I thought I'd have you sit next to me becauseyou looked the most intelligent Peter, now I'm not so sure," he said. Well, I can handle that, besides my point was made. I finished my dinner in frustrated anger. At least it was quiet, frustrated anger. In aworld struggling toward a fair share for everybody, it's people like this that keep us traveling in circles.Concentric circles that never cross. It's a good thing he's passed some of these quality traits on to hissons. I'm friendly enough and I definitely don't hold grudges, but I decided after my dinner was done that Ido hate one thing: people who are too gutless to look at themselves critically so they point their bigotedfinger at someone else. Bush administration rapes Bill of Rights T Chris Von Seggern staff reporterhe Bush administration's "war on drugs" isn't really a war on the drug problem. It's a war on your civilrights. Politicians, in their frenzy to look like they're actually concerned about drugs, are makingthemselves blue in the face throwing around neat-sounding terms like "zero tolerance." Narcoticsenforcement, agents are everywhere â€” with laws that punish legitimate behavior on the pretense ofdeterring drug trafficking. Agents arc peeking into windows, seizing boats, testing your urine and pryinginto every detail of your life. This rape of the Bill of Rights looks good on the TV news, but it isn't doing athing to discourage drug users or dealers. A law in Alexandria, Va. threatens up to two yearsimprisonment for people who loiter for a few minutes and exchange "small objects" with someone else.This may sound like a perfect description of a street-corner crack deal. Maybe it is. Unfortunately, it'salso a perfect description of a thousand routine transactions all of us make every day. Does it makesense to throw me in jail if Irun into a friend who owes me money on the street and collect on the debt?Speaking of collecting, the U.S. Coast Guard will be happy to collect your boat if they find even thesmallest amount of any illegal drug on board. They don't even care if the drug was in the possession ofthe boat's owner or not. So what this means is I could lose my yacht, assuming I had one, if I wentout on it for a weekend with some friends and one of them got caught with a single joint I didn't even know they had. Hell, not even as much as a joint â€” all it takes is a seed. I'm really glad the government isworking so hard to protect me from other people's casual drug use by seizing my property. Manyemployers have been requiring drug testing for several years. Now the high schools are getting into theact. According to USA Today, athletes and cheerleaders at a Birmingham, Ala. high school are now being forced to undergo testing as well. But there's one little problem with drug testing â€” it isn't 100 percentaccurate. Don't tell me losing my job because of a false test result doesn't violate my civil rights. All ofthese measures provide quick, easy "solutions" to a problem that runs much deeper in Americansociety than law enforcement. President Bush isn'treally interested in defeating the drug problem, just inlooking like he is so he can keep the public happy. I'm not fooled, and you shouldn't be either. Bush cancontinue to pour government funds into law enforcement until we're on the brink of economic collapse,but it won't solve the problem. The drug problem in America is a result of gaping deficiencies in oursociety which must be addressed before we will be able to leash the monster wreaking havoc in every part of the nation. Instead of enforcement, Mr. Bush might want to try putting more money into treatmentand education programs, or social programs to eliminate some of the societal problems which lead todrug abuse. It might be time to try (gasp!) legalization. It's obvious that attempting to control drugsthrough law enforcement isn't working. In any war, when your tactics aren't working, it's time for aswitch. It's high time we rethought the war on drugs. ---------- Western Front - 1990 June 1 - Page 15 ---------- Friday, June 1,1990 Letters The Western Front 15 Orwell never gt; wrote doubletalk Editor:Somebody may have called it "Doubletalk" at some point. But not George Orwell. Geez, there you guysare, with a gigantic library at your disposal, English profs coming out of your â€¢ ears, and you don'teven bother to look up one lousy reference? What am I supposed to tell my journalistic peers? Contraryto your May 15 editorial on capital punishment, Orwell didn't call it "Doubletalk." The only possiblesource of this erroneous quote ' is 1984. In that novel, Orwell coins "newspeak" and "doublethink." Youwon't find "Doubletalk," and if you do, I'll send you a brownie button. My dictionary gives 1936 as the date of coinage for "doubletalk," though it doesn't say whose pen scrawled it. y You wanna quote somebody, quote him right. Otherwise, make up your own terminology. Reporters have enough troubles beingaccurate as it is. It's been fun nagging you. Sean Robinson alumnus West Seattle Herald P.S.Naturally, if you find that Orwell came up with "doubletalk" in 1936, I'll happily eat a crow. From eachelection, a thorn shall grow Editor: The elections are over and political fervor has died to a minimum.However, I am often reminded of it when I meet people on campus and they ask if I am "Stonnin'Norman," the guy who was in the elections. It is a boost of confidence when people you don't know tellyou they voted for you because they have faith in you. I am sorry I lost the election. However, to all those who voted for the Norman Conquest â€” I thank thee. To the one who gave my campaign a whole newoutlook, the "Refonnin' Norman Crusade," â€” thanks, though it came a bit late. * ir^flRWHWHWHTOTgt;an Smith, be steadfast, for you have not lost friends it is just that the safety line between some hasbeen lengthened. I don't believe I have lost any "friends," but rather I think that the winners should bewary of a thorn in their sides next year. Stormin' "Reformin" Norman Pendergraft Hiney-kicked candidate 'Hot foot' seldom makes papers fun Editor: The vagaries of trans-Pacific and tropic mails prevented meseeing the issue with Dr. Lyle Harris' remarks on the Green Apple story, but I've read with keen interestthe swirl of letters in its' wake. The editor's and writers' spirited rebuttals carried me back to my ownheady youth and the self-righteous, self-serving, splendidly-written (I was sure) sizzler I directed at ourprincipal in the first editorial after he lifted a ban on our high school weekly. The Shanghai American.To be sure, I was defending the accuracy of a fire safety story (that had pained his public relationssensitivities), not asserting the merits of editors and writers having fun in dark places to titillate andtickle those readers that share their level of sophistication and taste. But I can still remember thesatisfaction of a phrase-flexing master wordsman ("A cut! Apalpable cut!") armed with the power of pen and press. After all, like Shakespeare's young blades in Romeo and Julia, I was not yet 16. Touche',Mr. Gibb, touche'! However, I must say that winter quarter's Front sometimes seemed to be written andrun by minds trying to enjoy their youth by clinging to their adolescence. As a journalist, a teacher andan adviser, I admit I always nervously eye new student editors ambitious to make the paper more "fun."Some Western Front humorists have been marvelousâ€”notably Steve Johnson and Jack Broom, nowwith The Seattle Times. But those whose highest humor is giving the "hot foot" seldom make a papereither fun or funny. More often they make it into a joke. I was on campus again briefly at the end ofwinter quarter, and saw the closing issue. The Front carried a story under a wrong headline and thenrepeated it inside. I don't suppose the editor or any long-suffering staff member will put that page orpaper in their clip files. An editorship is a trust. A good editor can edit well and have fun. What can yousay to someone who sees the Front as a swell place "to make mistakes"? My compliments on thespring issues. R.E. Stannardjr.

See Story, Page 11 2002 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 123 Issue 15 Bellingham, Washington Party swing not 'the end of the world' for Democrats BY KATIE JAMES As election results trickled in on the night of Nov. 5, disappointed Democrats watched the Senate majority slip into the hands of the Republican Party. Michael Swanson, the president of Western's Campus Republicans, said liberals are overreacting to the recent Republican victory. "If people think it's the end of the world, it's really not," he said. Republicans gained full congressional control in the national election, holding 51 of the 100 seats in the Senate and 228 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives. Before the election, the Republicans controlled only the House of Representatives. Swanson said despite the conservative majority, a lot of procedures will probably stay the same. "It would be stupid of (President Bush) to go totally conservative," he said. "He would lose support from the moderate members of Congress, not to mention get crushed in the next election." Western sophomore Amit Sharma said the Republican majority will put the Democrats at a disadvantage. "I think it's going to be a rough two years for the Democrats," said Sharma, who worked on U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen's (D- Wash.) successful election campaign. "All we can do now is start working toward the 2004 election." Sharma said Republican con- See REACTIONS, Page 4 Police stake out crosswalks Heather Trimm/ The Western Front Western sophomore Ashlee Vincent attempts to cross Bill McDonald Parkway as a car passes through the crosswalk. Washington state law requires cars to stop if pedestrians are standing inside the bounds of crosswalks. When caught, violators are fined $86. Study shows Increase in college student cheating BY JEANNA BARRETT Next time you decide to speed past civilians waiting at a crosswalk, the pedestrian crossing could be an undercover police officer. The Bellingham Police Department launched a three-week crosswalk safety campaign last month to raise awareness about pedestrian safety laws. Failure to obey the crosswalk law results in an $86 ticket. After a two-week study, police found that 53 percent of drivers did not stop for pedestrians at crosswalks. Last week, police issued 236 tickets to motorists who broke the law. "The city of Bellingham has a problem," Bellingham Police Sgt. Shawn Aimu said. "There are more and more complaints from pedestrians that cars are not yielding for them." Pedestrians have the most trouble crossing at busy oneway streets downtown, Aimu said. More than 127 people cross the 800 block of East Chestnut Street in the morning, and the majority of them See CROSSWALK, Page 4 BY MEAGAN MCFADDEN After being bed-ridden for a week with the flu and unable to attend class, Western freshman Alysha Holmiquist said she had no choice but to cheat off of her classmate's test. 'T didn't feel I would get caught because there are about 150 students in the class," Holmiquist said. 'T felt really guilty doing it." According to a study conducted by the Center for Academic Integrity, college students are cheating more than ever. Research from 250 universities indicates that 30 percent of students have cheated on tests or exams, and 41 percent have plagiarized written assignments. Plagiarism and cheating occurs at Western because professors do not always define what cheating is in their classes, University Judicial Officer Michael Schardein said. Schardein said the faculty expects students to read the Students Rights and Responsibilities Code in the 2002-2003 Bulletin. The code defines cheating and describes disciplinary actions that follow. "There is still an expectation of the student, but we don't have the opportunity to talk with them like we should," ' Schardein said. Cheating, or academic dishonesty, is defined as plagiarism, which is using someone's work without attribution, giving or receiving information before or during an exam without proper authorization and misrepresentation of identity, according to the Students Rights and Responsibilities code. Schardein said in both first and second violations, the professor is given the ability to choose what to do with a guilty student. The professor can issue the student a failing grade for the assignment or for the entire class and might be sent to the University Judicial Affairs Office for review. "When someone violates university policy, we expect them to learn from their mistake," Schardein said. If the student is found guilty of cheating a second time, Schardein can suspend the student for a quarter, he said. Schardein said approximately See CHEATING, Page 4 U.S. Army Corps prepares to restore Puget Sound's deteriorating coastline BY BRANDON ROSAGE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is examining the Puget Sound coastline to restore one of the world's richest freshwater and saltwater environments, parts of which scientists believe are close to collapsing. v The corps is in the second year of a five-year plan to take inventory of shoreline erosion and contamination problems along the shores of Puget Sound, said Maria Or, Seattle Corps District public affairs officer. The corps' plan includes a comprehensive study and restructuring of the Puget Sound's shore habitat during a 20-year period. Matt Chase, associate geologist for Coastal Geologic Services, said several locations along Bellingham Bay are in need of attention, including the downtown shore and Padden Creek Lagoon. Chase said creosote, a chemical in the tar used to prevent pilings from rotting, has leaked into the bay from abandoned pilings and existing marine docks, endangering wildlife and residents. He said studies show that creosote can be harmful and, in some cases, lethal if consumed by humans and wildlife. He said the corps is likely to address the problems in Bellingham Bay because they affect both wildlife and residents in the area. "I've seen an increase in interest in the near shore," Chase said. "People are starting to recognize that it definitely needs work if the Puget Sound is going to be as clean and rich as it has been in the past." The corps is taking inventory of the 2,354 miles of coastline, beginning at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula, through the mudflats of Olympia and to the eastern shore of Canada. The distance of the examined See SOUND, Page 4 Peter Louras/The Western Front Seagulls search for food stranded by a low tide at the Birch Bay tire flats,or mud flats, one area specified for cleanup.

SMITH Spending eight hours of darkness in front of a radar screen was a daily routine for Western senior and Persian Gulf war navy veteran John Young. Young said he spent six months serving as an operations specialist on the USS Ranger for the duration of Operation Desert Storm. Young is one of approximately 200 Western students who are enrolled as- combat veterans, those who have served their required time in the military or in the reserves, according to Western's Registrar Office. Western's Veterans Day celebration drew a small crowd of students at 11 a.m. Monday in the Performing Arts Center. "I think a lot of students underappreciate veterans," said Brian Howells Jr., a Western junior and the Veterans Outreach Center coordinator. "With all of the students we have, not a lot showed up to the celebration." Howells said the low turnout might have been a result of another celebration and parade in front of Bellingham City Hall that began at 10:30 a.m. Western junior and retired U.S. Marine Dan Bourdreau was a guest of honor and speaker at the Veterans Day celebration. Bourdreau said those who serve in the military are underpaid and under-appreciated. "It is kind of sad, but' I am not surprised that not a lot of students came," Bourdreau said. "It is a tough day to get students to come on a day off." U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) also spoke during the celebration. "Veterans Day gives us a chance to do something very simple and something we do not do enough â€” remembering to say 'thank you' to our veterans," Larsen said. U.S. Army Vietnam veteran and elected commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Williams Matthews Bellingham Post Tom Doyle said since the Sept. 11 attacks, people have thanked him more often for being a veteran. "There are a lot of students who are veterans that I wish would be more involved at the Veterans of Foreign War," Doyle said. "People think we are a bunch of old farts. I want veterans to come in and see what we are all about." As the possibility of conflict with Iraq looms, Young said he is questioned about whether he will be re-activated. "If the Navy needs me, Igo," Young said. Turf fields take over south campus road Service Road- C03- *0$) South College.

Honig, the public education director for the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington, spoke at three World Issues Forums on Wednesday. "I would view it as a person's patriotic duty to stand up for the Bill of Rights," Honig said. Honig said law enforcement agencies and the government use the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act to limit civil liberties. Honig said the ACLU fights for civil liberties given by the Bill of Rights. Honig said law-mMmmmmmmi Doug Honig ACLU speaker (360)671-5655 7 would view it as a person's patriotic duty to stand up for the Bill makers might not of Rights.' have had time to read the entire act before passing it. Lawmakers called the ACLU to ask what was approved when they passed the act, he said. Lawmakers passed the 342- page USA PATRIOT Act on Oct. 24, 2001 in six weeks. "It's not limited to terrorists," Honig said. "We must consider the (USA) PATRIOT Act and decide whether it is really patriotic or something we have to be concerned about." Proponents of the act were unavailable for comment. Fairhaven professor Shirley Osterhaus coordinated the forum. She said part of fighting the act is to disobey the government's pressure to monitor suspicious behavior. "I think (the USA PATRIOT Act) is a very important issue for students to learn about," Osterhaus said, "especially when there could be reports of suspicious behavior if people are doing research on terrorist acts." One of Attorney General John Ashcroft's policies was the formation of the Terrorism Info and Prevention System, a network of 10,000 Americans, mostly mail carriers and delivery persons, who report suspicious behavior to the government. Honig said the system of suspicion mimics the cold war, when the government encouraged citizens to turn in people who were involved in, or believed to be involved in, communist activities. He said the government should not promote reporting suspicious behavior as a policy. "We already have a policy, and it's ... calling the police department," Honig said. Fairhaven professor Dan Lamer, the Western ACLU Club adviser, said speaking out on civil liberties is sometimes enough to stop the infringement, but not always. He said the ACLU exists to help the community consider whether to take action. "When civil liberties are being denied, people get interested in them," Lamer said. Zack Cobb, Western ACLU Club president, said the club makes sure injustices are not occurring on campus. The club is currently cooperating with concerned students to find ways Western can oppose the USA PATRIOT Act. "I don't think public disclosure of private information is right," Cobb said. "It's really scary the things people can find out about you." Honig said nearly 12 cities in America, including Ann Arbor, Mich, and Berkeley, Calif., have passed resolutions restricting the broadness of the USA PATRIOT Act. He said these resolutions help express concern and build momentum toward changing the act. Cobb is a member of the Whatcom County ACLU Board. The group is currently working on resolutions to limit the power of the USA PATRIOT Act in Bellingham by following the examples of the other cities. The group will petition the Bellingham City Council to change policies under the act that infringe on civil liberties.

Or said the corps is trying to conduct its studies efficiently so it can correct the sound's prob-. lems and still afford the project. "The longer it . takes for us to put research into action and restore the near shore, A lot of the problems the more it will that need to be fixed are problems (the corps) created.' Mike Sato People for Puget Sound director cost and the more resources will be lost," Or said. "We're trying to do the study and get the information out as quickly as possible." She said saving Puget Sound will cost several billion dollars and is similar to the corps' $8 billion attempt to restore and preserve the South Florida Everglades. The federal government and the Washington state Department of Fish and Wildlife will each pay half of the agency's costs to rehabilitate the area's shores, Or said. In a report by the corps, approximately 70 percent of the state's wetlands and estuaries are gone, drained or filled for development. Most of the estuaries in Washington state are used as ports because they naturally mix freshwater from the inland with saltwater from the ocean. Seawalls, barriers and bulkheads line one-third of the sound, starving beaches of new sand and gravel that keep sea life cycling through the ocean. Nearly two more miles of seawalls and barriers are added yearly by road and house construction. Mike Sato, director of the North Sound office of People for Puget Sound, said many of the repairs the corps will be making were originally caused by its own projects. He said road culverts, drain pipes that cross the road, and bridges built by the corps have prevented fish from swimming to the ocean. "A lot of the problems that need to be fixed are problems (the corps) created," Sato said. "But as long as their mission was to keep the channels open, you can't blame them." Or said the corps is scheduled to complete its research by August 2007 and begin construction in October 2010. She said the corps is beginning to inform Puget Sound residents of damages to the shores so they understand the need for construction. "It's a cultural thing," Or said. "We're trying to educate people so that improvements come from everyone doing their part." Reactions: Democrats concerned Continued, from Page 1 trol of the Senate will increase the chances of war with Iraq. "The biggest problem I have is that Republicans aren't very good at taking care of citizens," he said. Western political science professor Todd Donovan said a Republican majority in the Senate will not make a major difference in policy making. In the Senate it takes at least 60 votes to pass a piece of legislation. The Republicans' majority is not big enough to pass legislation without the opposition of the minority party, Donovan said. "Having the Senate majority is more of a symbolic thing," he said. "The Republican Party won't be able to do anything with a two-seat majority that they couldn't have done with a one-seat minority." The Democrats can now use their minority status to their advantage. The minority party has "blocking" power, meaning if they collect 40 votes against a piece of legislation, that piece will never even reach the floor of the Senate for consideration. "The minority party can be a good place to be," Donovan said. "They are more likely to be the gatekeepers, determining what comes to the floor and what doesn't." Democratic and Republican ideologies differ on issues such as abortion, health care and ' taxes. The Republican Party is pro-life and against federal funding for health care. Its members believe that individuals should manage their own health needs. Its party platform supports lower taxes to stimulate the economy and help people of all incomes. The Democratic Party believes in a woman's right to choose. The party also supports federally funded health care and lower taxes for the poor. Crosswalk: Undercover police study drivers who neglect to stop for crossing pedestrians Continued from, Page 1 work at St. Joseph Hospital. "They don't stop for you," said Linda Oslie, secretary of Adult Day Health at St; Joseph Hospital. "We stand out in the rain, and cars will keep going by us. It's really not a good corner." A grant from the state-funded Traffic Safety Commission made it possible for the police to devote officers to the study. Before the campaign, the police informed the public, through the media, where the officers were handing out tickets and. when. Through increased enforcement and information, the police hope to change driver behavior and cut down on pedestrian injuries and deaths, Aimusaid. Pedestrian accidents cause nearly as many deaths as DUIs, seatbelt accidents and child safety seat accidents, he said. In 2002, 27 pedestrians in Bellingham were hit by cars but not injured. In the same year, 24 pedestrians were injured, and one pedestrian was killed. After the study, more people began complying with the crosswalk law, Aimu said. When police monitored Cornwall Street, 92 percent of drivers stopped at the crosswalk. Police want another grant for more enforcement, Aimu said. IWe are trying to raise some awareness in drivers and what ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^8 they need to do," Aimu said. "A lot 'A lot of people are not of people are not p( ^ ^ stopping when rr o J they are required required toâ€”that is to â€” that is where the problem where the prob- /â€¢ gt; lemlies." UeS' When a pedes- Sgt. Shawn Aimu ensure trian is waiting Bellingham Police she waits for the stop in time, Aimu said. The police calculated this number using speed, reaction time, stopping time and road slickness. Motorists do not slow down in time to stop at the crosswalk, said Susan Reeves, program assistant of Adult Day Health at St. Joseph. To her safety, inside the crosswalk, not on the curb, drivers must stop. A motorist needs 162 feet before a crosswalk to see a pedestrian and department traffic to pass. " S o m e t i m e s when the traffic is far enough away I think I'll have enough time to cross," she said. "They do slow down, but they seem like they're coming at a high speed." A few areas on Western's campus need crosswalk safety attention, such as the corner of 21st Street and . Bill McDonald Parkway, Assistant University Police Chief Dave Doughty said. He said Western does not have a crosswalk safety problem. However, UP does try to be visible during rush hour because if motorists can see the police cars, it might motivate them to stop. "We have so many people walking around before and after class," Doughty said. "Motorists are used to us and know to expect that."

"Evil can be an everyday terror," Young said. "A society that denies people the ability to be an individual is a society of terror." The focus of the lecture was the common occurrence of acts of evil, such as the massacre of 800,000 Rwa-ndans or the serial rape of Bosnian women. "It was a common practice for Serbian soldiers to urinate down the throats of the women in the rape camps," she said. When confronted with the facts of war crimes, students often react with surprise and shock, Young said. "Students ask me in classes, 'Why haven't we heard about these atrocities before?' " she said. "Even if we knew all of the 7 want to know why all of us Americans are remaining willfully ignorant.' Thomas Goetzl Management professor facts, we don't want to accept them." Thirty-six people attended the lecture, including Western management professor Thomas Goetzl, who said he was appalled by the number of empty seats at the lecture. . "I want to know why all of us Americans are remaining willfully ignorant," Goetzl said. He said the issue will probably still be disregarded because it does not affect them. "People will say, 'It's not my problem,'" he said. "But by the time-it is your problem, it's too late." The ignorance of Americans stems from a. lack of concern, Western senior Andrea Capiola said. "People are generally naive because they are self-centered on our own culture," she said. A society that knows what is wrong yet does nothing to educate itself is a tremendous evil, Young said. "The worst time in any era is when those who could see differently don't," she said. "This Eric Berto/ The Western Front Western anthropology professor Kathleen Young tells students and faculty members about the horrors of war crimes at Thursday s lecture. innocence is a kind of ignorance. Innocence is a kind of evil." This disregard for what happens outside of the country can be found in the way the media portrays war crimes, Western freshman Forest Menke- Thielman said. "The media is controlled by a select few," he said. "All you see in the news is what is damaging to America, and that makes people angry and want to support war." The media should show what other people around the world are feeling, he said. "Feeling sadness for what has happened to other people is a large part of the educational process," Young said. One of the hardest task for Young to do is tell people how she feels about America's distant and financially guided stance on war crimes and punishing those who commit them, Young said. "I want the United States to sign the treaty to ban land mines, to ban torture and to sign on to the international court," she said. "I don't think (the United States) needs to be the world's largest manufacturer of arms." 4^L ^^B== Harris Music Specializing in fine accousHcal instruments. 11 String Sale UWLSM â€¢ tesson'es CF Martin Gurtor dealer luge selection 0}print music (ClassicalÂ»Popular*las) lessons for oi levels ami styles dose to campus Are Your BRAKES making noise?

It does not protect against HIV. infection (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases. What is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a form of birth control that is given as an intramuscular injection (a shot) in the buttock or upper arm once every 3 months (13 weeks). To continue your contraceptive protection, you must return for your next injection promptly 3t the end of 3 months (13 weeks). DEPO-PROVERA contains medroxyprogesterone acetate, a chemical similar to (but not the same as') the natural hormone progesterone, whiclv is produced by your ovaries during the second half of your menstrual cycle/ DEPO- PROVfcRA acts by preventing your egg cells from ripening. If an egg.is not-released from the ovaries during your menstrualc/cle, it cannot become fertilised by sperm and result in pregnancy. DEPO- PROVKRA also causes changes in the lining ofyour uterus that make it less likely tor pregnancy to occur How effective is DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? The efficacy of DEPO-PROVKRA Contraceptive Injection depends on following the I'ecomroended dosage schedule exactly (see "How often do I get my shot'of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection?"). To make sure you are not pregnant when vou first get DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, your first injection must be given ONLY during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period; ONLY within the first 5 days after childbirth if not breast- feeding; and. if exclusively breast-feeding, ONLY at the sixth week after childbirth. It is a long-term injectable contraceptive when administered at 3-month (13-week) intervals. DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is over 99% effective, making it one of the most reliable methods of birth control available. This means that the average annua? pregnancy rate is less than one for every 100 women who use DEPO-RROVERA. The effectiveness of most contraceptive methods depends in part oh how reliably each woman uses the method. The effectiveness of DEPO-PROVERA depends only oil die patient reluming every 3 months (13 weeks) Tor her next injection. Your heafuVcare provider will help you compare DEPO-PROVERA with other contraceptive methods and give you the information you need in order to decide which contraceptive method is the right choice for you. The following table shows the percent of women who got pregnant while using different kinds of contraceptive methods. It gives both the lowest expected rate of pregnancy (the rate expected in women who use each method exactly as it should be used) and the typical rate of pregnancy (which includes women who became pregnant because they forgot to use their birth cont'd or because they did not follow the directions exactly).

' . What other things should I consider before using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? You will have a physical examination before your doctor prescribes DEPO-PROVERA. It is important to tell your health-care provider if you have any of the following: â€¢ a family history of breast cancer â€¢ an abnormal mammogram (breast x-ray), fibrocystic breast disease, breast nodules or lumps, or - bleeding from your nipples â€¢ kidney disease â€¢ irregular or scanty menstrual periods â€¢ high blood pressure â€¢ migraine headaches â€¢ asthma â€¢ epilepsy (convulsions or seizures) â€¢ diabetes or a family history of diabetes â€¢"a history of depression â€¢ if you are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications This product is intended to prevent pregnancy. It does not protect against transmission of HIV (AIDS) and other sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis. - What if I want to become.pregnant after using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? Because DEPO-PROVERA is a long-acting birth control method, it takes some time after your last injection for its effect to wear off Based on the results from a large study done in the United States, for women who stop using DEPO-PROVERA in order to become pregnant, ft is expected that . about half of those who become pregnant will do so in about 10 months after their last injection; about two thirds of those who become pregnant will do so in about 12 months: about 83% of those who become pregnant will do so in about 15 months; and about 935S of these who become pregnant will do so in about 18 months after their fast injectio-;. The length of time you use DF.PO-PROVERA has no effect oh how lone, it tatesyou to become pregnant after you stop using it What are the risks of using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? â€¢ I Jrwguhr Menstrjal meeting - The" side effect reported most frequently by women who use DEPO-PROVERA for contraception is a change in their normal menstrual cycle. During the first year of using DOPO-PROVERA you might have one or more of the following changes: irregular or unpredictable bieedmg o r spotting, an increase or decrease in menstrual bleeding, or no bleeding at all. Unusually heavy or continuous bleeding, however, is not a usual effect of DEPO-PROVERA; and if this happens, you should see yoiir health-care provider right away. With continued use of DEPO-PROVERA bleeding usually decreases, and many women stop having periods completely In clinical studies of DEPO-PROVERA, 555! of the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding (amenorrhea) after I year o f use, and 68% o f the women studied reported no menstrual bleeding after 2 years of use. The reason that your periods stop is because DEPO-PROVERA causes a resting state m your ovaries. When your ovaries do not release an egg monthly, the regular monthly growth of the lining of your uterus does not occur and, therefore, the bleeding that comes with your normal menstruation does not lake place. When you stop using DEPO-PROVERA your menstrua! period will usually in time, return to its normal cyde. 28cne Mineral Changes Use of DEPO-PROVERA may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones. This could Increase your risk of developing bone fractures. The" rate cf bone mineral loss is greatest in the earty years of DEPO-PROVERA use. but after that it begins to resemble the normafrate of age-related bone mineral loss. XOincer Studies of women who have used different forms of contraception found that women who used DEPO-PROVERA for contraception had no increased overall risk of developing cancer of the breast ovary, uterus, cervix, or liver. However; women under 35 years of age whose first exposure to DEPO-PROVERA was within the previous 4 to 5 years may have a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer similar to that seen with oral contraceptives. You should discuss this with your health-care provider: ^Unexpected Pregnancy Because DEPO-PROVERA is such an effective contraceptive method, the risk of accidental pregnancy for women who get their shots regularly (every 3 months [13 weeks]) is very low. While there have been reports of an increased risk o f low birth weight and neonatal infant death or other health problems in infants conceived dose to the time of injection,.such pregnancies are uncommon. If you think you may have become pi'egnant while using DEPO-PROVERA for contraception, see,your health-care provider as soon as possible. .W/ergic Reccticns Some women using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection have reported severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions known as anaphylaxis and anaphylactoid reactions. Symptoms include the sudden onset of hives or swelling and itching of the skin, breathing difficulties, and a drop in blood pressure. â€¢ i.Other Risks Women who use hormone-based contraceptives may have an increased risk of blood clots or stroke. Also, if a contraceptive method fails, there is a possibility that the fertilized egg will begin to develop outside of the uterus (ectopic pregnancy). While these events are rare, you should tell your health-care provider if you have any of the problems listed in the next section. What symptoms may signal problems while using DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive injection? Call your health- care provider immediately If any of these problems occur following an injection of DEPO-PROVERA: â€¢ sharp chest pain, coughing up o f blood, o r sudden shortness of breath (indicating a possible clot in the lung) â€¢ sudden severe headache or vomiting, dizziness or feinting, problems with your eyesight or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg (indicating a possible stroke) â€¢ severe pain or swelling in the calf (indicating a possible clot in the leg) â€¢ unusually heavy vaginal bleeding â€¢ severe pain or tenderness in the lower abdominal area . â€¢ persistent pain, pus, or bleeding at the injection site What are the possible side effects of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection? .'.Weight Gain You may experience a weight gain while you are using DEPO-PROVERA. About two thirds of the women who used DEPO-PROVERA m dinicai trials reported a weight gain of about 5 pounds during the first year of use. You may continue to gain weight after the first year Women in one large study who used DEPO- PROVERA for 2 years gained an average total of 8.1 pounds over those 2 years, or approximately 4 pounds per year VVomen who continued for 4 years gained an average total of 13.8 pounds over those 4 years, or approximately 3.5 pounds per year: Women who continued for 6 years gained an average total of ---------- Western Front 2002-11-15 - Page 7 ---------- November 15, 2002 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 7 Ii the spitlight iBilMWiift^piiiBiiifciiiB^BliH liiiiHli^Hll^BlllllllllHHll I^SSiiilMlSSliB^ii^l j^^lfclilldL^a fictitional tribal reserva- ^ ^ ( ^ ^ j t e ^ g t o n state.

Rule out the simplest first. Five reasons for headaches 1) Dehydration- drink water. 2) Hungary (low blood sugar) - eat a balance snack/meal - not just sugar or simple carbohydrates. 3) Self induced (alcohol)- go to a corner to whimper and suffer. 4) Brain tumor or major medical problem- consult your MD to get a referral to a neurologist or endocrinologist. Don't just mask the problem with drugs that fool the nervous system. 5) Stress/tension/cervicogenic and/or migraine are the most common. With these headaches, there is a misalignment of vertebra of the neck. Misaligned vertebra cause tension in the muscles of the neck, pull the vertebra out of alignment and cause the body to suffer a headache. This is the most common cause of headaches. Chiropractic adjustments are the most effective treatment for these type of headaches. If you suffer headaches and also have stress in the neck call Magda of Bedry Chiropractic @ 647- 0954 for a free 12 point spinal exam.

The city of Vancouver is surrounded by recreational, forested areas where Western students can find refuge from their busy school schedules. "Vancouver is a big city," Vinson said. "It's like going to Seattle, but it's better since there is more to do." Walking above a canyon The rain forest of Capilano Park is home to the historic Capilano Bridge. Capilano Park is located in the middle of a suburban area. Since the park is snuggled next to the base of Grouse Mountain, one gets the feeling of being far away from the city, assistant media manager Ashleah Wilson said. "The bridge is a key attraction," Wilson said "It has a long history." Capilano Bridge is approximately 200 feet above the Capilano Canyon and 430 feet long. "Ifs a pretty unique walk because it is so high above the c a n y o n , " Wilson said. "You get the feeling that you are quite high and suspended in the air, above the canyon." The 113-year-old bridge and historical park is open year-round and has guided tours, Wilson said. Admission to the park is approximately $4 American. A ride through the forest An adventurous bike ride is only 10 minutes away from Capilano Park in the forested Stanley Park. Western senior Merissa Gremminger said one of her favorite outdoor activities in Vancouver is renting a bike and riding it through the park. Spokes Bicycle employee Kyle Derksem said the bikes cost approximately $4 American per hour. Biking and walking through Stanley Park is very serene because of all of the trails the park offers, Derksem said. The outside trail, also known as the Sea Wall, outlines the peninsula of Stanley Park, he said. The inside path cuts through the middle of the forest and a bird sanctuary. Both trails go under the Lions Gate Suspension Bridge.; Approximately half- of the park is forested, Derksem said. "Going hiking in Stanley Park is amazing since the trails are so beautiful," Vinson said. The outside trail is approximately seven miles, Derksem said. An overlook of the city Grouse Mountain Resort is the highest peak of Vancouver. It is open year- round and offers skiing and snowboarding in the winter, said Josie Heisig, Grouse Mountain public relations manager. The mountain also offers ice skating, sleigh rides and snow shoeing during the winter months. "When coming down the mountain, you see twinkling lights (from downtown Vancouver) at your feet," Heisig said. Western sophomore Nick Rogers said one of the reasons skiing is better in Canada is that it is cheaper than it is in the states. "It is colder in Canada, so the snow can be better," Rogers said. Heisig said Grouse Mountain has more to offer than skiing. An outdoor ice skating rink is located at the top of the mountain. The Sky Ride gondola takes people to the top of the mountain, she said. "You get to glide up on the clouds," Heisig said. Tickets for the gondola are approximately $25 American for a day lift ticket for skiing or $19 American for night skiing. If someone is just going ice skating or snow shoeing, tickets are approximately $14 American. lt;e ^ lt;Anacor1 By Shanna Green An adandoned fire and police station inspired Aaron Flint Jamison and his friends to create an art gallery, hostel and music venue all in one â€” The Department of Safety. "We graduated from a university in Canada last year," Jamison said. "We saw this place, and it was totally abandoned. We kept it in the back of our heads." Jamison and the other three co-founders found the building, which would become their new home, in the small town of Anacortes, southwest of Bellingham. "We could move to Seattle, but instead we moved here, where people are very family-oriented and think we are a rare oddity," Jamison said. The purpose of the venue was not to make money, said Jamison and his friends. They are more interested in connecting people with new art and music. 'The only way we know how to communicate is through the art and music scene," Jamison said.

Mount Vernon Pop. 26,760 Lincoln Theatre exudes '20s style and trendy arts By Erik Robinson A gold arch lined with red rosettes separates the stage of the Lincoln Theatre in downtown Mount Vernon from the auditorium. Wrought iron Spanish patterns cover the walls of the dimly lit foyer. Plaster wall panels of green, gold, orange, tan and red simulate tapestries and decorate the auditorium. "Personally, I want people to walk in and let that art wash over them," Lincoln Foundation treasurer Diane Studley said. "When it was designed, the idea was for people to come in and feel like they were entering another world." Since its construction in 1926, The Lincoln has been entertaining Mount Vernon residents with comedic plays, the latest movies from Europe and even old-fashioned Wurlitzer organ music, Lincoln Program Director Vicky Young said. "It's a beautiful, historic, intimate setting with diverse programming for any type of person," Young said. Acts such as pianist George Winston, folk singer Greg Brown and movie star Jim Caviezel, who came for the premiere of "Frequency," have all made their way through The Lincoln, Young said. The Lincoln's original intent was to present vaudeville acts such as jugglers, song-and-dance routines, pantomimes and comedic plays. It was also used as a silent movie house, Young said. The Lincoln was designed in the "period piece" style, which was popular at the time, Studley said. Some theaters built in the '20s had Egyptian and Chinese motifs, but the Lincoln Theatre was deigned with a-Spanish style, she said. The Lincoln is a non-profit venue, and proceeds received go to restoring the theater to its original 1926 form and showing quality programming. The Lincoln recently received money in the form of grants from regional and national organizations that support art, Studley said. The grant money goes toward projects such as an entire exterior renovation that will restore the Lincoln's original marquee and a free-standing ticket booth. Red plush seats were installed last September. The Lincoln Foundation, a 10- member board composed of community members, makes decisions about what shows will come to the theater. The Lincoln itself has only one full-time employee, one part-time employee and approximately 500 volunteers, House Manager Pirjo Pasanen said. Studley said so many people volunteer because The Lincoln displays a feeling of community and a strong f a m i l y - o r i e n t ed atmosphere. Plus, volunteers can see the shows for free. "The Lincoln is personally valuable to me, and I know that it is also greatly valued in the community," Pasanen said.

"We've attracted bands from Montreal all the way to California," he said. "Bands send us press kits, and we try to fit them in with events that work." Larissa Loyva, the singer, organist and trumpet player for P:ano, said her band came from Vancouver, B.C. to play at The Department of Safety. Loyva said P:ano played at the venue before it was remodeled and officially opened, and they enjoyed performing there so much the band decided to come back. "We always have a good time when we're here," Loyva said. "This place totally lives up to its hype. It's awesome. It's perfect. It's exactly the kind of place I'd like to play all of the time." Justin Kellam, P:ano's drummer, said the drive from Bellingham to Anacortes is no excuse for Bellingham residents to miss any of the shows. "If it's worth it for us to brave your borders, then it's worth it for you to come see the show," Kellam said. Many of the people heard about The Department of Safety because they knew the founders. Suzanne Blake, a friend of the founders who came from Seattle to attend one of the shows, said The Department of Safety interacts with the community. "Fm so impressed and touched by what they've done," Blake said. She said watching her friends work toward their artistic dreams inspired her because so many other people she knows get office jobs after college. "I live in a house with people who work nine to five for insurance companies, so I like hanging out here," Blake said. "It makes me feel like I'm at peace." Jamison said that anyone who wants to visit The Department of Safety is invited. "It's kind of like a funny little idealistic Utopian community," Jamison said. "Come by for dinner sometime, and bring your mom. We're a sucker for moms." ---------- Western Front 2002-11-15 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural November 15, 2002 Vikings win conference title, still miss playoffs Peter Louras/ The Western Front Senior Ian Weinberg lines up a slide tackle in the 2-1 victory against Seattle University Saturday night. Scoring five season goals, including two game winners as team captain, Weinberg was one of four Vikings named to the GNAC conference first team. BY ANDREW SCHMIDT The men's soccer team clinched the Great Northwest Athletic Conference title in a thrilling 2-1 victory against Seattle University on Saturday. "It was the best season in Western history," said Travis Connell, Western head coach and GNAC coach of the year. "They showed so much character. They deserve all the credit." The Vikings, 15-4-1, came into the game tied with SU for the conference. After trailing 1-0 at halftime, the Vikings scored two goals in the final 25 minutes of the game, courtesy of Western freshman midfielder Gus Zadra and sophomore midfielder Paul Nissley, GNAC player of the year. Despite their victory, the Vikings failed to reach the NCAA Division II National Tournament. "Of course we wanted to go to the playoffs," Connell said, "but I couldn't be more proud of our guys this season." - The playoff spots went to Cal State Dominguez Hills and Sonoma State of the California Collegiate Athletic Association, despite the fact that Western beat Dominguez Hills 2-1 on Oct. 7. "We thought we had a chance to get into the tournament, but we had four losses, and Dominguez Hills had three losses," Nissley said. Western senior defenseman Eric Blatt said physical conditioning keyed the seven game winning streak to close the year. "We put so much work into this season, and it shows," Blatt said. "When other teams get tired in the second half, we still have our wind because we're in great shape." Connell said the win Saturday night was typical of this season. "We came back again in the second half and played better soccer, like we've done all year long," he said. Connell said the successful season was team-oriented, although Nissley scoring a team-high 15 goals did not hurt matters. "Without Nissley we wouldn't be here," Connell said. "He gave us so much of our offense." Nissley scored a third of the teams 45 goals this season. "I play up front and get a lot of opportunities to score goals," Nissley said. "The guys that play defense are just as important as me. They help me get all these good looks at the goal." Connell said he can't wait to see how good next year's team could be. "We only have three players graduating," Connell said. "With all the injuries this year, all the young guys got into games and got solid playing experience for next year."

Rumors circulated Tuesday that Gillick had narrowed his search for Lou Piniella's replacement from four candidates to either Buddy Bell or Bob Melvin, but Gillick maintained he was still considering Sam Perlozzo and Jim Riggleman as candidates. "We're very, very happy with all the candidates," Gillick said. "All four are still in the running. We're going to sleep on our feelings." Mariners President Chuck Armstrong said he was encouraged by Gillick's findings, but urged him to wait until the end of the week before making a decision. "When I woke up this morning, I had a different feeling about (Perlozzo and Riggleman)," Armstrong said. "The manager will personify the organization in the clubhouse." Gillick began searching for managerial candidates last month after Lou Piniella, Seattle's manager for 10 seasons, was released from his contract with Seattle and signed with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. The Mariners received All- Star outfielder Randy Winn as compensation for Piniella and a minor leaguer. Bell and Riggleman are the only candidates with managerial experience, while Perlozzo. is a former Mariner base coach, and Melvin is the current bench coach of the 2001 World Series champions Arizona Diamondbacks. Gillick said the candidate he chooses this week must share the qualities of former Mariners manager Lou Piniella. "Our manager has to be able to communicate, motivate and have respect for the players," Gillick said.

W A 96226 Across from Boliis Fair Moll Tol. lt;36Q gt; 734-5111 BY MATT HIETALA Saturday's game against new found rival University of California, Davis has become a massive grudge match to the seniors who have continually battled, and lost to, the Aggies. Even the younger players who already understand the importance of the game. "If Davis loses to us, they won't make the playoffs," Western freshman center Loren Winter said. "It's payback time." Winter was referring to last season's finale in Davis, Calif.. The then No. 3 Vikings needed a win to advance to the playoffs. The Aggies won 40-32 and kept the Vikings out of the postseason and advanced UC Davis, taking the last of four spots available in the West regional playoffs. This season's matchup is similar, but the roles are reversed. The 6-3 Vikings have a shot at knocking the 7-2 Aggies, who hold the No. 4 slot in the West, out of the postseason. "This game's a big deal," Western senior cornerback Anthony Dalton said. "It was a big deal last year. We have no problem getting up for this game.". A victory against UC Davis has eluded the Vikings during the past five years. Saturday will be the sixth straight year the two schools have met. Though the Vikings have yet to win a game, the scores have been within eight points in all but one game. The annual meeting with the Aggies is quickly becoming more and more competitive, like the annual Cascade Cup between Western and Central Washington University. "Playing UC Davis is always a big game because we have yet to beat them," junior linebacker Lann Olson said. "To me, it's a rival game." Though the Vikings have lost three of their last five games, they picked up a tough win last Saturday with a 20-17 triple-overtime victory at â€” Western Oregon University on sophomore kicker Michael Koe- 'Playing UC Davis nen's 32-yard field , , . j is always a big game During the course because we have yet of the last five games, to beat them. To me, the Vikings have .,., , , dropped from No. 2 its a rival game. in the West to No. 10; then up to No. 8, yet they still have a chance of making the playoffs. If the Vikings win on Saturday and -the three teams ranked ahead of the Vikings lose, they could scratch their way back into the postseason. "It's not set in stone that this is the end," head coach Rob Smith said. "But first and foremost, we need to beat UC Davis. It's all we can control." UC Davis is always a power in the West region, Smith said. Even though the Aggies lost a tough game at Central November 9, Smith said he still considers the Aggies to be the premier team in the region. "Davis is always a great game," he said. "They have a great tradition and a great football program." So great, in fact, that Sports Illustrated recently named UC Davis the top athletic Division II school in the country. For the Vikings, a win against the Aggies would be sweet redemption, even if they miss the playoffs. "It's been a pretty frustrating year," senior receiver Greg Dyk-stra said. "We had high hopes, and things didn't go our way for one reason or another and beating these guys would finish our season with an exclamation point." With one more reception, Dyk-stra will have caught at least one pass in 38 consecutive games, a Viking record. He needs one more touchdown reception to set the all-time record with 31. Dykstra and 14 other seniors could be playing the final game of their careers. He said a win over, a team the Vikings have never beat would be a great way to end his career. "I definitely want to go out a winner," Dykstra said. "It'd be awesome to go out with a win against Davis."

Kezes has won all four of the races he participated in this year and is the first Western runner to reach nationals in Western history. The men's and women's teams placed seventh out of 20 teams in the regional meet. For a team to advance to nationals in Ashland, Ohio, it must place in the top three. "We wanted to finish higher," Western head coach Kelven "Pee Wee" Halsell said, "but this season's been great." Kezes and Western sophomore Ashlee Vincent, who placed first among Great Northwest Athletic Conference runners, were named GNAC runners of the week Nov. 3 to Nov. 9 for -their perfor- ^ ^ ^ ^ i mances at ' the 11^1^^181 regional meet at Woodward Park in Fresno, Calif. 'It wasn't a fun race. I felt like I had Kezes, who ran vultures on me wait-the 10-kilometer Â« ,. , ingjor me to die. Paul Kezes Regional winner race in 31 minutes, 58 seconds, said he Was running in a group and felt like the other runners were only a step behind him. "It wasn't a fun race," Kezes said. "I felt like I had vultures on me, waiting for me to die." - He said he pulled ahead near the end, but he expected the other runners to catch up. "I knew I had a good kick (left in me), but I was nervous because I have never had to use it," Kezes said. Senior captain Kurt Hart-maier, who finished in 34:13 and placed second for Western, said he was disappointed in the finish. "We were- all gunning for nationals," he said. "We would have liked to be better than seventh, but we beat Western Oregon, and they were ranked ahead of us." Hartmaier said the regional meet is the most important race of the year, and it seemed like the team was doing everything right to prepare for the race. - "We were drinking lots of water all week, doing our strides and drills, eating right and getting enough sleep," he said. "Thursday night on a run, we all felt really good." Halsell said the- team finish overshadowed the individual finishes, but several of the runners had great races, Vincent ran the 6K race in 22:21" and . placed eighth overall, and freshman Laura Trevellyan finished 18th overall, only 38 seconds behind Vincent. "I just wanted to be in contact with the top five and make my move later, but I made it too early, and I just got tired," Vincent said: "It came down to six seconds, and I guess I just didn't have it in my legs." Hartmaier said the men's team did not finish higher because many of the men kept Peter Louras/ The Western Front Junior Paul Kezes leads in the first lap of the 29th WWU Invitational on Oct. 12, finishing in first place and 13 seconds short of the course record. Kezes continued his winning season Saturday at the NCAA Division II West Regional Championships in Fresno, Calif. up with a group of athletes who might have been running at a faster pace. "I think a lot of us maybe didn't realize how fast we were running," he said. "In the beginning you can get sucked into.a pace that can kill you early on, and you don't even realize it sometimes in the bigger races." He said he is going to run very little and work on his speed to prepare for the race. "It's going to be different running with competition," Kezes said. "I'm going to try to run the last two miles the fastest I've run the last two miles before." Halsell said 188 men will be running in the national championship, and Kezes has a good chance of placing anywhere from first to tenth. "I have great confidence in him," Halsell said. "But it's going to be the toughest race he's had."

A single party controlling the government will cause the checks-and-balances system to become irrelevant because the controlling party can pass whatever legislation it wants. With a weak Democratic presence in the Senate and the House of Representatives, the GOP will have no problem passing bills that support the Republican agenda. The GOP's next move will surely cause problems for the environment, pro-choice supporters and change the face of courts. The GOP will push for Supreme Court judges who are pro-life. If Republican legislation approves enough right-wing judges selected by President Bush to the benches, then Roe v. Wade, the case that legalized abortion, could be overturned. Despite the controversy surrounding abortion, a healthy democratic debate is the only reason the public has the legal option of seeking it out. Bush made it clear that appointing new federal judges to the courts is a top priority. Democratic senators managed to prevent 46 of President Bush's nominees from reaching federal benches, but nothing can be done now. Appointing these judges would be "packing of the courts with conservative ideologues who are beholden to special interests and committed to turning back the clock on Americans' rights," said Marcia Kuntz, director of the Judicial Selection Project of the Alliance for Justice. The courts are supposed to make unbiased decisions, but when one interest is the only one passing judgment, it disturbs the balance of the justice system. Bush will open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling. The GOP will be able to lead the energy and environmental Senate committees with Republicans who will allow for oil drilling inANWR. Before the elections, these committees were forums for critics of Bush's administration policies regarding issues such as ANWR, clean air and logging. Now, Republicans will strip mine the environment to decrease U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Only active discourse between political parties saved American lands from being pillaged for their natural resources. The elections might have been a great victory for the president, but not for the country. Any chance for Democrats to bottle up issues, such as the ANWR drilling, are all but lost. Balance is an important key in the American government; but when one political interest has control of one or more branches of the government, an essential part of democracy is lost. The checks- and-balances system has been weighed heavily on one side, and whether it is Democrats or Republicans with the advantage, one voice should never rule a democracy. â€¢ \ Do these opinions reflect yours?

Even in a political climate charged with patriotic energy, Western's Veterans Day celebration had a pathetic 30 or so people in the audience. The sad truth is that many college-age people do not care about veterans, and they do not care to glorify, honor or even recognize them for one day out of the year. The years have turned into decades since America suffered a large-scale loss of life during a war, and an increasing number of citizens have no personal connection to combat. Fewer people today can visit the grave of a relative who was killed in a war or hear an elder tell stories from the front line. The absence of intimacy with the violent aspects of America's past has caused many people to be oblivious or apathetic to the sacrifices of veterans. Without a personal connection to the conflicts that solidified America's role in the world, past wars seem no different from any other event students read about in history textbooks. Ignorance is not the only cause for the lack of veteran supporters. The growing anti- war sentiments make villains out of veterans, both current and future. Students have the tendency to associate veterans, who fought for their country selflessly, with the politicians who started and ended the wars, often for reasons that, in the harsh light of hindsight, don't seem as valiant. Thousands of future veterans are being trained or stationed at military bases worldwide. President Bush and his spastic trigger finger should be pleased to learn that, after Sept. 11, masses of new recruits are ready and willing to fight in the Iraqi conflict and the "war on terrorism." The army has recruited a record 15,000 new troops since Sept. 11, according to The New York Times. If students had no personal ties to a veteran in time for last Veterans Day, they might in the near future. The increased enlistment in the armed forces is almost certainly due to the patriotic fever that has gripped the nation by the throat in the past year. American flags whistle proudly on the antennas of cars across the country. "United we stand" is the phrase on the hearts and bumper stickers of every "true" American, and therein lies the hypocrisy. Many students â€” and citizens â€” are content to sacrifice $1.99 for an American flag from K-Mart, but they refuse, or are too lazy, to revere those who made the ultimate sacrifice: veterans. It should not take a holiday to remind students of the debt they owe the nation's veterans. Students with the freedom to spend a day off lounging in the comfort of their homes should take a moment to pay respect to those who went through hell to put them there.

The key to surviving this madness is to have some entertaining diversion to look forward to, which encourages productive studying and ensures the keeping of one's sanity. According to a research study conducted by researchers at the University of California^ Irvine, anticipating a happy or enjoyable event can raise levels of endorphins and other pleasure-and relaxation-inducing hormones and slow the production of stress hormones. This does not mean, however, that thinking about an upcoming birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese during a study group will guarantee an A. Making plans to go watch a movie, dance the night away, yodel on a mountaintop or anything else amusing gives students something to strive toward. It serves as incentive to finish the task, a reward for completing the chore of studying. This makes a difficult, undesirable task a little easier. Studying can be stressful. No news flash there. But injecting enjoyable things into the monotony of learning, will reduce stress and produce better results. Spending hours trying to memorize chemical compounds or landmark court cases is only adequate up to a certain point. Eventually the human brain does not retain, or even comprehend, information crammed inside of it. According to findings by researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio, large uninterrupted blocks of studying are not productive. "If you want to learn something, spaced acquisition is best, along with plenty of sleep," said Brian Derrick, assistant professor of neurobiology at UTSA. Some students seem to have a knack for this sort of competent studying. These students juggle classes, work and socially redeeming extracurricular activities while simultaneously budgeting their time and gliding effortlessly to excellent grades. Those two students should be applauded. For everyone else, time management takes more of an effort. Procrastination leads to large workloads in a deadline situation. The key in these situations is to focus on one thing at a time and to not get overly stressed. Students need breaks so their brains can operate in an productive manner. The UC Irvine study also concluded that the anticipation of an enjoyable event causes a jump in growth hormone levels. The growth hormone is beneficial to the immune system, said Lee Berk, assistant professor of family medicine at UC Irvine. Having something fun to look See STRESS, Page 15 Veterans Day conjures conflicting feelings Brandon Ivey ALWAYS FRESH I am a coward. I do not plan on becoming a veteran. Monday was Veterans Day, and I celebrated it like everybody else â€” I enjoyed the day off by doing anything but productive activities. It was nice to have the day off. Thanks, veterans. I appreciate what veterans did and soldiers do â€” they protect the freedom that the rest of us take for granted. Unfortunately, I cannot justify personally killing others during a war, or any other time, for any reason. In war, the enemy is not thought of as a person, but rather, it as an evil entity, which must be eradicated. I prefer to think of people as people, even if their views differ from mine. I cannot force myself to kill another person . If Hitler and I met face-to-face in a room and I had a gun, I could not shoot him. Obviously he was a bad man who deserved to die, but I could not be responsible for his death. Pulling someone shoot-out-style, hand-to-hand or with bombs does not work for me. I have a conscience that tells me not to do such things. My objection to killing another person is simple: Murder is wrong. I only have control over myself, and I have decided not to participate in the killing of other human beings. If I was drafted into the military, I would make sure I did not last long.enough to see a battlefield. As soon as our military issued me a gun, I would feign insanity and literally shoot myself in the foot. Another option is less than an hour away: Canada. A lot of Western students appreciate the lower drinking age. I appreciate Canada as a traditional haven for draft dodgers. Millions of other people participate in state-sponsored killing; they serve in the U.S. 'My objection to killing another person is simple: Murder is wrong: armed forces and are known as veterans. I do not look down on those people because without them I probably would not have the freedom to type these words, but I would much rather celebrate Veterans Day than be celebrated on that day. Voluntary military service is fine. If more people volunteer, my odds of being drafted decrease. Maybe I am selfish, but I prefer being selfish to killing another person. The last time the U.S. military inducted a man to service was 1973, according to the Selective Service System. Though the draft is not active, the U.S. g o v e r n m e n t requires 18-year-old males to register for selective service in case the draft is reinstated again. Registering for the draft was one of the most terrifying moments of my life. It makes me uncomfortable to - know that if the U.S. is going to engage in war when I am See VETERANS, Page 15 ---------- Western Front 2002-11-15 - Page 15 ---------- November 15, 2002 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 Stress: Relaxation crucial to avoid excessive anxiety Continued from Page 14 forward to while studying not only makes studying more beneficial, but it also leads to' a clean bill of health. A strong immune system helps ward off colds and other pesky ailments that hinder studying efforts, while at the same time helping keep the mind clear. Good health also comes in handy upon the completion of academic duties, when students celebrate their success. Good times and relaxation needs to be taken in moderation. Students come to Western to learn and attain academic excellence, not to re-enact "Animal House" 24 hours a day. Spending four of the most influential years of one's life living in the library and avoiding social interaction, however, is appalling just the same. A ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ sound balance between work and play is imperative for a rewarding college experience. College is, by definition, an _ institution of higher learning, but it is important for students to live their lives and have a good time. In fact, the realms of work and play compliment each other. Making time for both can make a student successful. Anticipating something fun while studying promotes good health and makes the task effective and bearable. The part is going out and enjoying oneself after exams, which rewards students for their efforts and keeps them well balanced. 'A healthy balance between work and play is imperative for a rewarding good college experience.' Veterans: Dreading the military draft, prospect of war Continued from Page 14 between the ages of 18 and 26,1 could be legally forced into military service. One could say it is my duty to serve; I owe this country a debt and must fight an enemy to repay it. It is true that I owe the government something, but I thought they were taking income taxes out of my paychecks to cover the debt. I will continue to pay taxes long after I am 26. Hopefully that must be worth something to Uncle Sam. In regard to the draft, Uncle Sam seems like the uncle at Thanksgiving who thinks that a woman's place is in the kitchen cooking a turkey while men watch the game. In other words, women are not legally required to register for the draft. I agree with the uncle's underlying theory that women do not belong in the draft â€” but men do not either. I would much rather be cooking a turkey than hunting down the enemy. From time to time, the men and women of the armed forces need a break from organized murder. During those times, the government tries to boost troop morale by sending Bob Hope or Wayne Newton to entertain the troops. If I volunteered for anything remotely related to military service, it would be to boost soldiers' morale. I'm sure this would go over well: "Hey, thanks for the day off; keep up the good work â€” now get back to killing." Letters to the Editor I am writing in response to "Bush imposes abstinence policy on world," published on Nov. 8. Abortion is not sexual education and could not be further from a medical resource â€” especially to the child inside the womb. Why should American tax dollars fund the taking of innocent life in other countries? Americans do not even pay for abortions within the United States. Bush is not ignoring the needs of women who choose to be sexually active. Women choose to be sexually active, and in so doing, should also accept the consequences of their actions â€” of which Bush is not responsible. Women may be educated on ways to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, but let us not confuse the two. A child is not a disease and should stop being treated as such. When pregnancy prevention methods fail, the result is a child. Teaching women that they can simply dispose of their unborn child if they don't want the baby does not help them. If there is an issue as to how Bush should help sexually active women in foreign countries, and in the United States for that matter, it is not helping women dispose of their children or dealing with the purely physical consequences of sexual intercourse. The United States needs to put forth more funding toward helping impoverished women raise their children, not kill them. There is no such thing as a "safe abortion." How truly disheartening it is that women would risk so much personal injury not to protect but to destroy their children. This is not an advocation for the United States to do nothing to help lessen explosive population growth. Educating people on abstinence would be effective. Though not all are pleased that Bush advocates a "100 percent abstinence" policy, there is no arguing that abstinence does work all of the time.

VANCOUVER, B. C.(Special) Prices are going up and students at the University of British Columbia don't like it at all. The student body of 16,000 at the campus will be asked to withold their second term fees as a protestagainst a recent hike in fees. Byron Hender, president of the Alma Mater Society, the same asWestern's Associated Students, said 40 student leaders decided on the protest after meeting with theUniversity Board of Governors Aug. 11. "The fee increase will cause many students to make afinancial rather than an academic decision," he said. Basic fees were boosted $56 in May to $428." The Society has not decided how students will be advised to withhold their fees. They pay the first halfof their fees when they register in September and the second half in January. Hender said the Board ofGovernors was given a brief showing that only 27.9 percent of male students and 2.8 percent offemale students earned enough money to fnance their university work. Acting University President Dr.John McCrear said fees could be lowered only if the federal or provincial governments increaseuniversity grants. Last Spring at Western and other state institutions tuition and fees were boosted $8 aquarter. Several students signed peti-tins and letters to state legislators protesting the increase, but to no avail. No further action was taken by the student body to protest the matter.

The victory gave Western the first win for "a" team from the Stateof Washington. Three previous entries from other schools had failed to come out on the bright side ofthe score.

His shaggy beard made him a unique member of the team.Des Jardien, 22, a senior from Everett, graduated with a history major and political science minor.Reeves, also 22, from Alder-wood Manor, graduated with a double major in physics and mathematics. "Karen Anderson was the youngest member of the team. She was Flora, Thompson take New jobs afWestern Western has a new academic dean and a new Education Department head. The Board ofTrustees appointed Dr. Charles Flora of the Biology Department academic dean and Dr?" RalphThompson, a 15-year "veteran" at Western, Chairman of the Education Department. Both appointmentsbecame effective Sept. 1. RALPH THOMPSON This will be Flora's first administrative post. Springquarter he was on a leave of absence to develop a biology curriculum, at Sri Venkayeswara University in Southeast India. A specialist in marine biology, he took post-graduate work in limnology, the study offresh water, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Flora was instrumental in theestablishment of the Institute For Fresh Water Studies at Western. He and colleague Dr. Gerald Krafthad been conducting a study of Lake Whatcom for the past three years, which led to the establishmentof the Institute. Thompson acted as an interim head of the Education Department prior to theappointment CHARLES FLORA of Dr. Vernon Haubrich last year. Now he is replacing Haubrich, whohas taken a post at Teachers College, Columbia University, New York. Thompson received hiseducation at Dickonson College, University of Delaware and the University of Florida. Flora holdsdegrees from Purdue University and the University of Florida. a 20-year old sophomore. Miss Andersen,a whiz at the literature questions, is probably best remembered for her muttered, "Oh, damn!" as thecamera zoomed in for a close-up during a crucial bonus answer. MONEY, MONEY The team broughthome $3500 worth of scholarships for their three.weeks on the show: $1500 for each of their wins, and$500 as a consolation for their loss. Western has been staging its lown "College Bowl" the past twoyears with teams competing locally against one another and against other colleges in the state. Thelocal intra-mural competition is held winter term and virtually any four-person team can enter. The main qualification is that they don't mind looking stupid in front of their friends. Okay, Friosh, get in line.Drummond holds Local CCU N post A Western student, Clark Drummond, was elected NorthwestRegional Director of the Collegiate Council for the United Nations in June. The election took placeduring a Leadership Institute for the United Nations at Sarah Law-erc- nce College in Bronxville, N. Y.As the Regional kingpin, Drum-mond, a graduate working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Educationdegree, will direct all CCUN activities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. The CCUN"supports and promotes the work of the United Nations and awareness of international affairs,"according to Drummond. There are 300 affiliates in colleges and universities throughout the UnitedStates. "Western is highly respected in CCUN for the work Dave Tre-main, former regional director fromthis school, has done," Drummond remarked. Drummond said there are about 20 members of the clubon campus and he is looking for more support. The CCUN offers many programs, he said. Westernwill have representatives at the model UN at Stanford University in California next spring. "We'llrepresent some country," Drummond said, "but I'm not sure which one yet." Drummond is planning what he claims is one of the first "topical conferences on Asian Affairs" on the West Coast. The conferencewould take place at Western next spring and involve "name speakers" from San Francisco and NewYork, Drummond added. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 1B ---------- FRIDAY, SEPT. 17 THE COLLEGIAN ONE-B "GEE, DAD, THAT'S SOMETHING" young Richard Bunkeappears to be saying, as he examines President Bunke's medallion after the inauguration ceremony inFebruary.

Bunke, n ew president of t h e 72-year-old college.Inaugurated as seventh president of this institution last February, Dr. Bunke followed Dr. James L.Jarrett, who has taken a position at the University of California at Berkeley. Nearly 250 representativesfrom colleges and universities throughout the nation gathered in the brisk winter air of Western tohonor the new president and march with him in procession through the campus. . Dr. Bunke,,a 42-year-old economist, came to Western January 21. The inauguration gave Dr. Bunke a platform toannounce his plans for the college, and it also provided a symposium on the "Economy of the PacificNorthwest," attended by most of the educators present. "Education must indoctrinate as it liberates;it must change men, make them more human, more dependable, more interesting, more stable, and,if you like, more aristocratic and more egalitarian," President Bunke explained. .

President Bunke has served as teacher, administrator, lecturer,writer and consultant to both business and government. He has been senior price economist for theOffice of Price Stabilization in Seattle.

He also has served as consultant to the Iowa Commerce Commission and to theGreat Northern Railroad. The new president is the author of numerous articles and two books. In hisearly writing, he dealt primarily with transportation, both intrastate and interstate. As his approach to economics widened, President Bunke concentrated on conflicting values in modern life. Last year, he wrote an article that has been widely discussed, "Economics, Affluence and Existentialism,"published in The Quarterly Review of Economics and Business. President Bunke's membershipsinclude the American Economic Association, Order of Artus, Skull and Crescent, and Chi Psi.

With this, the initial issue of the Northwest Viking for fall quarter; we wish toextend to all entering freshmen and transfer students a great, big, Ser home-coated WELCOME . . . 'We are very proud of our school. The impressions that it has made on us are, and will be, lasting ones.The unique setting of the school, beneath t h e shadow of Sehome, its picturesque campus, the groveof trees bordering the front walk; between the Library and Edens Hall, and many other things have gonetogether to bring this school very close to home for us. You will make friends, enter into activities, andgradually enter into the for the freshmen Life at Western can be fun. We hope you'll discover this whenthe chaos and confusion of registration wears off and you realize that you are no longer in high school,but in college, and to some extent, on your own. We come to college to study (it says here) but theleisure hours can be filled with more productive activities than merely beering time away at the local tav. Clubs and committees at Western abound. For instance, there's the Chess Club or the HomecomingCommittee. The latter can always use helpers and is especially gearing its theme this year for freshmenand transfer students, according to the committee chairman, fall and football It has been said thatthere are two ivays to watch a football game. You can either 1.) study the intricacies of play patterns,game strategy, and use of such devices as platoon systems, sub* stitution, etc., or 2,) watch twenty-two guys having a grand time beating each other to a plup. \ We prefer the second, but that really doesn'tmatter. There's something about a college football game that makes it unnecessary for a person to needa reason for attending. ; This is the time of year for the usual torrents of passionate pleas to get out and support your team. People get all excited for no reason at all thinking, that we aren't going to takeadvantage of something that's as American as- Pizza parlors or tennis shoes. swing and tendencies ofthe Ifoxma-I school.

Is it getting lost in the crowd on a crisp fall afternoon, inching your way to a high perch in the stands with vapor pouring from your mouth? Is it the blustering band music, blown through cold brass horns by huddling musicians? Is it a roar of voices, a few moments of excitement, asincere hope that the guy being carried off the field didn't break too many bones?

' Good luck this year;Viksf year of the escalation For Western students* 1965 may go down in history as the year of theescalation.

However,, they retained their equilibrium and didn't threaten towithhold their fees as the University of British: Columbia Alma Mater Society (equivalent to the A.S.Legislature) i s asking its students to do: Then matters got worse; The price of cigarettes in Washingtonwas raised (oh, horrors!)' Wallets really began jj;p get thin and many students were thinking, of notreturning in the fall. President Johnson helped them make their decision by escalating the war in VieUNam and^ uppihg the draff quota. Students resolved to return to- school by hook or crook* But finallythrough the clouds ap? peared a light. Western's Board of; Trustees at last raised the student pay ratefrom a paltry $llper hour to a gt; more sensible $1.25. The raise has been needed for some time andnow that it has come w e a re only too gratefuit Thank you, gentlemen. The raise will enable somestudents to return to school, students who otherwise could not have afforded another year incollege. But, tew (Md you know i was a fresh man ? ., Ito you; titer Glass of 1969, I extend greetings and felicitations from Western Washington State- Colleger. Beginning today this is your college, and of this-moment it is pledged to serve you with all its powers^ and- resources. In return; it asks only one thing:that yotr as- att individual develop- and fulfill your full potential. â‚¬)n the surf ace, this may soundsimpleâ€”1 assure you it is not. Indeed; it may well fee the most demanding test of your young life. IShould: yoÂ» pass- it; witfr honesty and merit; however, your life will forevermore he richer afid moremeaningful. As-a student at Western; you; would do well to countf your blessings. You arefew amongmany. Today, throughout this-great land young men, and women sorrow because they were rejected bythe college or colleges of their choice. Not only has full collegiate citizenship been conferred upon you,but it has been freely granted by an institution of integrity and standing. If for no other reason, Western isunique for its singular beauty. Nowhere in the world is there a college which surpasses the majesty ofsetting that favors your college. Set between mountain and sea, combining the power of naturalgrandeur and human creativity, Western's 135 acres and 27 buildings will for the next four years beyour physical, social, and intellectual home. You would do well to explore it, to become familiar with itsmany parts and dimensions, to appreciate its beauty, its strengths. WIN AN EDUCATION But you werenot attracted primarily by Western's beauty, although you should be grateful for it. Your principal objective is to win an education, with all that that word implies. Beyond that, I hope that you chose Westernbecause after talking with your teachers, your friends, and other college students, and after carefulconsideration, you began to understand the rich opportunity that Western offers through a superiorundergraduate program. Ultimately, any course major or curriculum can be no better than the facultywhich gives it life. Here at Western you will have an opportunity to work with many able professorsrepresenting different disciplines and presenting differing and sometimes contradictory views oneverything from taxonomic methodology to the nature of the universe. Your instructors will range from thevery young to the experienced veteran, from those who would charge you with flaming idealism tothose who would temper your vision with wisdom. During your stay, each of your instructors will havesomething to contribute, but from each will come something different. Do not look for the same from all.Some of your instructors reach their finest moment before a class of one thousand; others make theircontribution through a day-by-day, tough, Socratic discussion method; while still others sparkle andinspire only in the stark atmosphere of a smaUi laboratory when- the discussion is centered on someesoteric subject qflife beyond the befief or comprehension of ordinary mortals. Despite the excellence of.staff, do not be surprised that everything! you are taught is neither eternal, nor relevant nor eveninteresting. When T was eMfe young, I resented with all my heart and-soul the rote learning of themultiplication tables.

KNOWLEDGE â€” A WAY OF LIFEBut do not be misledâ€”do not believe that because the faculty is excellent and the programs are welldefined and clear, all you need do is attend class and, like new wine bottles, sit quietly until you are filled with a magical and intoxicating brew called knowledge. If that is your approach, I fear you will be gravelydisappointed here in your new home. For Western, as all esteemed institutions of higher learning,believes that more important than knowledge itself is the teaching of a mood,, of an approach-indeed, away of life. Above all the facts and figures, dates and places, dimensions and concepts, you should learnthat without self discipline, without a commitment to excellence, without the inner strength necessary fordedicated effort, there is no greatness in this world. You must learn the virtue x gt;f patience and tireless work and that repeated failure is the soil which nourishes sweet triumph. Those of you who would reachyour fuE potential, those who would develop the knowledge and skill and those of you possessed of thedesire to createâ€”in short, those of you who would be more than ordinaryâ€”must be extraordinary inmotivation and self-discipline. It is this commitment to the extraordinary that Western encourages and,from a willing few, demands. ' The high standards and the excellence of Western has not gone unnoticed; many of you come from sister states and beyondâ€” from foreign lands. With the reputation that comesfrom success, there also inevitably follows change. Ten years ago Western was a small school of1,700 students and a faculty of little more than 100. In those days, the students, after four years, prettywell knew most of the professors as well as virtually all of their fellow students who traveled the routefrom freshman to the graduation platform. All of this made for a sense of personal intimacy, andinstitutional loyalty. Today, supplementing these personal relationships is a new spirit of freedom as theaverage student is expected to be more self-reliant in finding his own way, for solving his own problems,for determining his own place in the rich, multi-faceted college community. Yet, do not be deceived intothinking that the college is unconcerned about your welfare as a separate and unique human being with distinct aspirations and needs of your own. Western's emphasis, as in the past, continues to be theindividual student. Our methods of advising, our emphasis on good teaching, our commitment to high-level counseling, and, finally, the architecture as well as the planning of the campus itself, reflects acollege belief in the need for making each student feel a part of the full academic community. Such,then, are the faces of Western. As a whole, they offer opportunity at the same that they demand that youperform as civilized young men and women who are as jealous of their own rights as they are respectfulof the rights of others. I wish each and every one of you the very best for a most successful and fruitfulyear.

Themedallion was introduced for the first time at Dr. Bunke's inauguration as a symbol of the presidency. Itwas conferred upon him by Joseph Pemberton, chairman of the Board of Trustees, during theceremony. The medallion is cast in sterling with a gold flame in the center and the name of the college is engraved around the flame. The date of the founding of the college, 1893, appears across the bottom. Names of former presidents are inscribed on the reverse side. GOLD FLAME The gold flame at the center is emblamatic ,of the torch of learning, and combines the intellectual and spiritual qualities ofillumination, enlightenment and inspiration. Designed by Frederick Walsh of Seattle, the medallionis a bas-relief of the new seal of Western which appears in this issue of The. Collegian and is beingintroduced in other college publications. MACE Also used in the inaugural .ceremony was a large rosewood and silver mace, a gift to the college of the class of 1964. It was used only once previouslyâ€” during commencement last June. Designed by Norman Warinske; of Seattle, the mace issurmounted with a silver casting of a Vi-. king ship, emblamatic of Western Washington StateCollege. Below the ship on the staff are three circular silver bands, the topmost being engraved andinlaid with blue enamel with the name of the college. The second band bears six medallions, eachengraved with a sealâ€”the Great Seal of the United States, the Seal of the State of Washington, theSeal of the College and three seals representing Humanities, Education and Science. The third bandbears the legend, "The Gift of the Class of 1964." The bottom device is a silver cast flame symbolic of enlightenment. The mace will be used during all ceremonial occasions at the college while use of thepresidential medallion will be restricted to inaugural events. Both symbols are on display in theMabel Zoe Wilson Library.

APPAREL Next door to Rathman's Shoes ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 VIEW FROM THE COLLEGIAN WINDOW Theview from the Collegian window looks out on the world, and that's what the Collegian staff hopes to dothis yearâ€”they don't want to be confined in their outlook. This page is like a recruitment posterâ€”wewant YOU. We want a large staff of clear-thinking students who have something to say. Students who,like us, don't want to be confined to expression in limited essays for professors. The Collegian has much to offer its staff. The experience gained working on a newspaper, even a college weekly, is invaluable. Newspapers are a part of our everyday lives. By understanding how they click one can more easilyappreciate the role they play in society. BE IN When working for the Collegian you are never "out" ofthings. You are aware of what is going on around the campus, you meet interesting people (threeCollegian staffers interviewed Peter, Paul and Mary last year.) The Collegian gives you a chance toexpress yourself creatively, if you desire to do so, through feature stories. The News Staff class, Eng.211, can be taken for one credit. You can still add a class. Staffers, by diligent work, can earnthemselves a paying position oh^he Editorial Board^ For those in teacher education, the experiencewill be doubly invaluable. There are very few qualified journalism advisors in high schools and apparentlyteachers with newspaper experience are pounced upon by the school boards. There are other fringebenefits too, for instance the Publications Banquet held each Spring quarter. Previous experienceis not a must to write for the Collegian, as we provide "on-the-job training." What is required is awillingness to work. There are openings in all.fields, from general reporting, to sports writing, towomen's news. If you don't want to take the class for credit and still want to write for the paper, this isfine. Headline writers and proof readers are needed for Wednesday evenings. So, come down to The Collegian office, Room 1 in the Viking Union, any afternoon, today for instance, and meet the editors. Ifyou're a clear-thinking student and want to distinguish yourself from the masses, give it a try andenjoy the view from the Collegian window. SUMMER COLLEGIAN STAFF GETS WORKOUT DON-THEFRIENDLY AD MAN Helping prepare this year's 40-page Freshman issue are from left to right, SueFrederickson, Bob Graham, Pam Barber and Mike Williams. Work for the special edition began inAugust, and the typewriters are still cooling off from the busy nights spent by these and other frenziedwriters. The year has just begun and things should be hopping on The Collegian all quarter. If you want tojoin the happy crowd, come down to the office and we'll put you to work. Don Bothell, Junior from Bothell, Wash, (it was named after his grandfather) is always smiling when he's selling ads for The Collegian. Not only is he a good business manager, but he's an artist as well and his works decorate The Collegianoffice. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 3 ---------- FRIDAY, SEPT. l Â£ 1965 THE COLLEGIAN PAGE THREE BOB -THE MANGLER Bob Graham, Juniorfrom Bellingham, is our mangier, also called Managing Editor. . , 181111"' Williams is new editorThere's a maple leaf in the Collegian office and the staffers aren't too sure what to make of it. MikeWilliams, a Canadian resident, known as "The Maple Leaf" or "The Crusty Canuck," assumed theCollegian editorship at the end of summer quarter when John Stolpe announced his resignation in order "to concentrate on studies." r Stolpe edited the Collegian spring and summer quarters. Williams, whohas difficulty; concentrating on anything, was a Collegian-type last year. He served in every positionfrom coffee hoy (where he exeled) to managing editor. A junior, Williams is an English major. Heattended the University of Oregon during his freshman year, majoring in journalism. He saw the lightand decided to go into teaching. SEA-GOING STUDENT Between Oregon and Western he spent fourmonths aboard the University of the Seven Seas, the sea-going school, and three months as a reporterfor a Vancouver, B. C, newspaper, The Sun. "I sort of got the Collegian editorship by default," hesaid, "but I promise to do my very best. The rag was rocked with scandal last year and received someblack marks. I hope to erase them and give the students what they deserve: a better than excellentnewspaper." The Associated Student Legislature was kind in giving the Collegian a "very good" budget Williams added, so he said he'll give thenv a paper to be proud of in return. "This is the students'newspaper," the editor emphasized, "my door is always open and I welcome visitors with criticismand comments." ' Williams announced his Edit-rial Board as being: Bob Graham, managing editor;Pat Win-gren, news editor; Jim Pearson, sports editor; and Verh Gies-brecht, feature editor. Staffmembers are still needed and should apply any afternoon next week at the Collegian office, Room 1,Viking Union. THE JEOPARDY BOYS J. Thurston Hanson (left) and Jack Benedict are the literary typesof the publications crowd. They will edit and select the'poetry, short stories, etc., that make up Western'sliterary journal. In their spare'time they read books, like this dictionary. Weak plot line, fellows? ThoseJeopardy boys "Put yourself in, Jeopardy," was the appeal of Jack Benedict (right), new editor ofWestern's student art publication. "If you can write, draw or photograph, the editors of Jeo- MissShoemaker to clear clouds Storm clouds have been billowing about the offices of the college'syearbook, "The Klipsun," for two years, but the 1965-66 editor, Charlene Shoemaker, plans to clear theatmosphere. Two years ago, editor George Toulouse produced a soft-covered annual with a uniquelydif-, fereht format. Western students didn't like it and displayed their emotions graphically. They held abook-burnfng. The Klipsuns were excellent fuel. Last year the Klipsun returned to a hard-cover under theleadership of Lloyd Strong. However, there was debate over the use of individual student "mugshots."The AS Legislature, it was reported, got very excited about the whole situation. Miss Shoemaker, lastyear's assistant editor, wants none of that. Armed with a $15,000 budget, five thousand more than lastyear, she is determined to put out an excellent annual. Strong and Miiss Shoemaker gave Wdistern agood annual last year and did the work almost without any help from other students. Miss Shoemakerwants a large staff this year. Interested students should get in touch with her in the Klipsun office,Viking Union basement. pardy would be pleased to have a contribution, or several, from you," Benedictsaid. Featuring the work of Western students, Jeopardy consists of short stories, poetry, art andphotographs. For the first time this year, the editors are offering cash prizes to students for the bestcontributions in each category. In addition to Benedict, the new Jeopardy staff includes J. ThurstonHanson as Assistant Editor. Both are juniors majoring in English and both write poetry. Benedict is anHonors student at Western. Jeopardy is an annual publication and is released in the Spring. FREENOW "Last year we published 500 copies and sold out in short order at 50 cents apiece," Benedictsaid. "This year we will publish double that number, and a student needs only to show his ID to receive a copy," he added. Anyone wishing to have their work put in Jeopardy should see either Benedict orHanson in their office in the basement of the VU building! "Jeopardy was good last year and we hope itwill be better this year," Benedict noted. "You can help make it better with your aesthetic contributions." CHARLENE SHOEMAKER is the only female editor of the crowd and she's planning on putting out aspanking good Klipsun this year. Her office also doubles as a fallout shelter, so it has advantages. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 4 ---------- PAGE FOUR THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 Russ # DRIVE Across From Bellingham HighSchool FEATURING 15 BEEFY i Mode With 1i00% Pure Beef " ~~ ~ COUPON" RUSS' ORIGINAL Ifyou know m swingsâ€” where to go!

Here a group of students set out from the campus for Bellingham. Itwas an ill-fated peace march as peace officers, deciding the demonstrators were breaking the peace,arrested 47 students and Bellingham citizens. The charge was violating a city ordinance which stated that the Chief of Police had to be informed of any "parades." Last spring was a popular time for protests atWestern. When the weather was bad the protestors picketed the new juke box in the Viking Union CoffeeShop. iÂ§||j||||||Â§iili ?$?$0Â£i0. NO PERMIT-NO PARADE When these marchers were arrested, thelaw required permission from Bellingham's Chief of Police in order to hold any such demonstration. In a recent meeting of the Bellingham City Council, an ordinance was passed requiring any persons wishingto have a parade through the city to obtain a permit from the Board of Public Works. By MIKEWILLIAMS Collegian Peace Reporter A number of Western students did a lot of marching last year,but they weren't exercising, they, were protesting. Twice, once in February and again in April, the war in Viet Nam came under fire from the pacifists. The first march saw 47 students and local citizensarrested by the Bellingham police for parading without permits. The marchers had formed in front ofthe Viking Union and set off down High Street to Indian Street. Several carried signs of the "Ban theBomb" movement or proclaiming, "Get out of Viet Nam." At Indian and Maple streets Police Chief CecilKlein warned the demonstrators they would be arrested if they proceeded. The undaunted demonstrators pressed on and Klein, not one to go back on Jiis words, arrested them. According to Rev. Lyle Sel-lards, Whatcom County President of the American Civil Liberties Union, the group had the legal right toproceed in a peaceful and orderly manner. The next peace march, in April, was much more peaceful.The orderly group of 200 "angry young men and women" marched quietly through downtownBellingham, again protesting the U. S. position in Viet Nam. v When they reacned the FederalBuilding they held a 20 minute "silent vigil." There was one other peace demonstration in the area, butit only indirectly affected Western students. The "professional" demonstrators came up fromCalifornia to participate in a peace march on Vancouver Island, B. C. After they were refusedadmittance to Canada by Canadian Immigration officals who tagged them as "undesirables," the three resolved to enter Canada illegally at Blaine. PEACE CHORUS Backed up by some Western studentssinging "We Shall Overcome" the trio made their bid. They initially thwarted by the Immigration officals and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Later in the evening, however, one of the three, Eric Robinson, slipped into the night and a Canadian cohort whisked him to Vancouver. So, another year begins.More peace marches? Probably, if the weather's not too bad. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 6 ---------- PAGE SIX THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 SOLONS HARD AT WORK The life of a VikingLegislator is sometimes trying.

A thirty-year Navy man, he re-tired as a Lt. Commander. ; Maconaghie has an impressive background in law which includes positions as prosecutor, lawyer,defense council, and judge for the Navy. During World War II Maconaghie was assigned the task oforganizing a security force. The result of his efforts was a well-organized force that established itself asone of the best. For this work he was honored by an invitation to serve on the New Jersey Board ofIntelligence â€”the only military man so honored. When Mr. Maconaghie retired in 1959 he applied forthe job of Campus Marshall. "Maconaghie stated that he has a great respect for faculty members, forthe high quality of men and women who are students- at "Western, and for their dedication to whatthey are working for." SECURITY PATROL Along with Maconaghie, the campus boasts a security patrol of nine men. â€¢ "These men are all married and of good character," said Maconaghie. There are three shifts a night which check buildings, dormitories, and take care of traffic control. There is also anight marshall who takes care of all the night duties and heads the security patrol. Maconaghie said,"The night marshall is the one seen at any dances or college functions held in the evening." In the lastfive years Maconaghie has been "very satisfied" with his job. His student assistants find gratification in knowing that he is on call at all times, day and night. Some responsibilities of the Marshall are:traffic control, security, violations of any law on campus, and making sure that the security ondormitories is complete. TRAFFIC HEAVY "Now that the college is growing so rapidly," saidMaconaghie, "traffic situation seems to be the most difficult, especially following large dances, ballgames, and auditorium events." Of course the problem is alleviated some by student assistantswho act as "traffic cops" and who are in charge of "external security," directing traffic and keeping awatch over the campus. The most, important security measure according to Maconaghie is that of"internal security" which takes in checking the doors, examining buildings for intruders, andwatching for fires that could break out during the night. These jobs are also handled by the securitypatrol. These patrolmen are all responsible to Maconaghie who in turn is responsible to Dean MacDon-ald. The Marshall is a deputized member of the Bellingham Police Department but he feels that hispolice powers should be exercised carefully. Furthermore, the reputation of the college and the studentsis uppermost in his mind at all times, he said. "Few members of the college community have ever beentaken to court in the county because severe disciplinary action takes place with the campuscommunity," he stated. When asked how many tickets he gives Maconaghie gave a big laugh andsaid, "I give about 5,000 a year." Maconaghie said that he has had 100 per cent cooperation from theentire student body and faculty, and particularly the student body, in resolving traffic and parkingproblems here at the college. "Out of this cooperation has grown an orderly parking pattern that hasbrought favorable comment from the Bellingham Police Department," he added. ~ Binyon Optometrists1328 CORNWALL BINYON / Optometrists Ph. 733-9300 COMPLETE OPTOMETRIC SERVICECONTACT LENSES â€” FASHION FRAMES Dr. Leroy H.

Western's lost l i b r a r y books havebeen found in an old t r u n k in Women's Residence Hall, according to Dr. Howard McGaw, Director of th e Mabel Zoe Wilson Library. These books along with about 20 others were found in an attic during therecent renovation of WRH for the Education Department. "Whether the books were stolen, mislaid orjust lost no one will ever know but the books will be reshelved soon for student use," said McGaw.12.000 NEW BOOKS Along with these 25 books there will be some 12,000 estimated new volumesbeing, put on the shelves this year. The periodicals section of the library will also be enlarged since therecent budget has been raised for this section. The library has been allocated $80,000 for their bookbudget and $20,000 for their subscriptions budget. This is a raise of $20,000 in the-book budget and$6;000 in the subscriptions budget over last years funds," added McGaw. Mrs. Flors Mae Phillips,Prescient of the Washington School Library Association, has been appointed the new educationlibrarian. This position resulted because the curriculum library has been moved into the educationlibrary in the upstairs, west wing. There will also be a self-service copier in the periodicals room where.copies can be made for 10 cents a page. An electric typewriter will also be available for 10 cents for 15minutes or 25 cents for 45 minutes. The typewriters that were in the typing rooms have been removed because of the abuse they received at the hands of students. "Of interest to Freshmen," said Dr.McGaw, "might be the Library Orientation course that is being offered to acquaint students with theWilson Library." "This course will give the students practice in reference book materials, cardcatalogues, and other library functions."

Each tutor assigns the student papers to be discussed at regular weekly meetings. Thestudent may write about his major field of interest or any other topic mutually agreeable with the advisor.He is expected to write papers totaling between 5,000 and 10,000 words per quarter. All Honorsstudents participate in evening meetings of small groups for discussing in depth some vital idea or set ofideas. With the junior year, the Honors student does this extra work in his own department of interest.The student must write a senior thesis before graduating with honors. Much of the student's up-perdivisional work is devoted to this thesis. SELECT FEW Obviously, only a select few may participate in the honors program. There are four ways in which a student can join the Honors Program. A studentwhose scholastic aptitude tests scores place him in the top five per cent of all Western students will be invited to participate in the program. Any Western student with a, year of residence who has earned I for graduate school. a cumulative grade point average of 3.7 or better will be considered for admissionby the Honors Board. A student recommended by a faculty member who believes that the student is agood prospect may join, if the Honors Board is satisfied with his ability. High school seniors of high)ability will be considered by the board through recommendation of a teacher, principal, or other schoolofficial prior to the student's enrollment. Students in the Honors Program are expected to maintaintheir high standard of scholarship in all of their college work? After two quarters in the program thestudent must maintain a 2.9 average in order to remain in the program. What is the end result?Probably, it will mean a student with high ability has not been wasted for lack of challenging workwhile in College. To graduate "With Honors," a student must be recommended by the Honors Board;have completed at least six quarters of honors work; have completed at least 20 credits of Honorscourses; have written a senior thesis.

'I would like toextend my welcome to all the incoming students, along with everyone else," he said, leaning back in hischair in the relaxed atmosphere of his office. The deep, friendly voice belongs to C. W. McDonald,Western's Dean of Men. Those who don't know him personally are usually quick to recognize histowering form when he strolls across campus. To most of the students, he is known as "Dean Mac."Although he is one of the busiest administrators in Old Main, the dean is always ready to give anyone alittle of his time. He makes it clear that the main job of the office of the Dean of Men is "to help studentsadjust to the college and to help them with any of their, personal problems." McDonald's duties do notend here, however. In fact they just begin. MEN'S SUPERVISOR One of his chief responsibilities is that of supervisor of all men students and housing. He tries to see that all the men get a place to live for theyear and that they don't get into too much trouble. He is usually quick on the scene when the boys atHighland start playing with the water balloons, McDonald is also in charge of campus security. Aftermaking their rounds, both the campus police and the night watchmen report to the dean of men's office.Serving as chairman of the Financial Aids committee, and as a member of the Auxiliary Enterprisescommittee, he helps handle such college projects as the planning of new dorms and other smallerfringe problems such as CLYDE MACDONALD campus parking. COLLEGE LIASON Acting as a liasonbetween the city and the college, McDonald serves on the Bellingham City Council and attends meetingsevery Monday night at City Hall. Despite his numerous side duties, Dean McDonald's primary eoncern is the students, and he emphasizes the fact that the first duty of the Dean of Men's office is to giveassistance to anyone who heeds it. - Speaking of the class of 1969, he said, "They have a wonderfulopportunityâ€”we will help them in any way we can, but the main job is to be theirs." "There's an opendoor policy up here," he added, "come in any time." ...and Lorraine Powers opens door The Dean ofWomen's Office is a busy place at the beginning of any quarter and this fall quarter is no exception. Withthe lack of housing, Dean Lorraine Powers is still approving off campus living places for enteringstudents. Their biggest problem is getting towns people to take students as boarders and roomers, shesaid. "The lack of adequate housing will remain a problem for many years to come," said Dean Powers,"but if people can't or won't co-operate then we will always have difficulty in finding adequate housing lor a great many students." The students, through the Dean of Women's Oiffice, have been advised tocontact any relatives, friends, or other ministers in town to try and arrange for accommodations. Thedormitories have been full for some time but there will be some cancellations, which alsio have beentaken. Dean Powers also makes suggestions as to the type of dormitories suited to the womenstudents. DORMS FOR GIRLS The Ridgeway dorms Beta and Gamma have been transferred to girlsdormitories and will have the names Sigma and Omega. The addition of these dorms has created 125new beds but there is a lack of beds for some new 900 freshman women stu- LORRAINE POWERSdents. Dean Powers said, "Even as the building is increasing so are the number of new students and wedon't know when we will ever get caught up in the housing shortage." Along with housing approval DeanPowers helps the AWS and other women's organizations on campus. She helped supervise the writing of the AWS Handbook and other publications. . Dean Powers door is also open to any woman student who feels that she needs help or advice in solving problems connected either with school or her private life.

From knee-length argyles to waist hugging coloredhose, stockings are focusing the fashion spotlight on the legs. Texture is all-importantâ€”nub-bytweeds and webbed knits are popular; patterns range from bold hounds-tooth checks to ar-gyle knits tosolid and exciting patterned nylons. To match the stockings, sweaters, are being revived by the trend-setters. Heavy knits, in all colors and patterns are available to the "in-crowders" who dare to be differentin their gay turtle neck-ribbed pullover and matching stockings. Argyles, checks, plaids and solids areall making their bids for popularity on the fashion scene. What shape are the skirts in for fall? Short andwith an A-frame! Smart knee-cappers make the perfect go-between for coordinated sweaters, tops andsocks. While solids seem to be the most popular, interest is often centered in the skirts texture, ranging from suedes through all textures of wool weaves and knits. COLOR NEWS!

Entering freshmen and returning upperclassmen alike are paying particular attention to the clothesthey purchase for the year ahead on campus. What kind of clothes will "make the scene" on the nation'scampuses this fall? Most trends indicate that this year's campus here will be decked out in, for one thing,V-necked sweatersâ€”both long and short sleevedâ€”which will appear in a variety of textures. Theserange from fine wool knits to bulky orlons, and come in an exciting list of colors, topped by navy blue,wine red, and camel. Cardigan sweaters also rate high on the fashion scene. SHORT SLEEVES^Underneath these manly sweaters are worn short sleeved sport shirts, "the most current favorite beingthe guaranteed-to-bleed madras plaids, a fabric returning again to make a bid for popularity this fall.Other sport shirt fashions point to the button-down collar gt; large checks, stripes, masculine wool shirts in dark stripes or plaids. Above all, the shirts must feature-the trim, fit found in tapered tail models. , .What type of trousers will our style-conscious campus man wear for classes and casual dates? The wordfor pants is still fairly tapered, with belt loops and cuffs making frequent appearances. Levis are still seenfor the less formal occasions; beige jeans are the first color choice, with green and faded blues making for strong bids for second place. Older style "hipsters" are being replaced by higher waistlines, which callfor belts, a sometimes neglected men's wear accessory. This year's belts will be wider, either in leather or stretch, and many madras plaid belts will show on campuses. WING TIP SHOES Shoes for fall featurethe solid wing-tip style for the man in the know this fall. Coming in black, browns and in betweens, thisshoe is solidly "in." The traditional loafer also rates high in the fashion set. Worn with dark socks, itcompletes the "look" for this year's college man. A final word on coats: a big newsflash in fabrics issuede, leather, and corduroy. The sheepskin promises to be a. trendsetter among well-dressed men. *The bear-look, popular also in "look-alike" women's styles, will make some appearanes on fall and wintercampuses, its furry warmth very welcome at nippy football games. Many fall jackets feature hoods thisseason. The look in men's fashion is a carefully planned-out attempt to create well-dressed men. incream or white. Often the lace is repeated at the cuffs or extended for fashion accent around the lines ofthe bodice. And speaking about bodices, the newest and greatest in the dress line is an often seenempire waist, this year rejuvenated by the current "mod" look, for which we owe thanks to our Britishfriends. In fact, much of what's hew can be traced to European influences, from the "mods" ofEngland to the Courrege look, so named for the French originator of the look. A definitely "continental" look is achieved by; the new webbed sweaters, bell-bottom trousers, Beatle - inspired caps, Frenchberets, etc. FUN, FUN, FUN! A fun addition has been made to the wardrobes of many a returningcoed: the fuzzy, bear-looking coats. These fur pile hip-length jackets generally feature a parka-typehood, just perfect for those chilly footbali games and looking so smart with slacks. Madras, the not-so-new "guaranteed- to-bleed" fabric, remains in sight in the form of transitional fall cotton dresses* Italso makes the accessory scene highlighting belts, caps, purses, and scarves. Shoulder bag pursesare solidly "in" this fall, as are leather boots and low-heeled shoes. Speaking*of shoes, the fall imagehas com-, pleted itself with a wide-heeled, bowed, strapped, little girl lobk (cr is it little boy look?) in f6ot apparel. The look for fall emerges as a carefully planned excitingly complete image which will be seen many times this fall on the nation's campuses. Dreamers bsware!

Hell week itself is so named because it is one solid week of doubleturnouts, two gruelling practice sessions a day designed to whip the gridiron hopefuls into shape. Bothpractices are usually two hours long and run accordingly: A half hour of rigorous calis-thentics, 15minutes of agility drills (such as forward rolls, sprints, walking on all fours, isometric neck exercisesetc.), a half hour of dummy plays, a half hour of either scrimmage or light contact and then 20 to 30minutes of hard sprints.

PAIN,PAIN, PAIN Friday two more sessions had dragged painfully by and then Saturday Lounsberry turnedthe troops loose into the customary Saturday scrimmage. There was a look of true amazement onthe faces of the survivors as Lounsberry announced that they would get their day of rest. Sunday wasspent in luxurious sleep or in the affectionate arms of the girl back home. But just for a^day; theplayers were back at 'it' again Monday' morning at 10 a. m. It's not surprising that the exhaustingroutine began to tell on the group right away. Most of the players began to creak at the joints like oldmen. Bodies became bruised and swollen and many boys became so overly fatigued that they found it hard to sleep at night. â€¢_ Many players failed to stand up to the punishment as the week draggedon, and the size of the squad quietly began to diminish. Slowly at first then faster the faces began todisappear and the six original teams slowly became five and then four. No: body blames players forquitting. Everybody on the team would like to quit and take it easy, but the ones who make it through"Hell Week" rarely quit the team. . - "Hell Week" is true Hell, but there is a kind, of satisfaction inmaking it through such an ordeal. The kind of satisfaction that binds teams together, and makes themable to face even greater ordeals on the playing field.

Dr. Feringer was asked to de*- scribe the purpose and selectionprocedures of the Art Film Series on campus. The following is his replyâ€”Ed.) There is good justification for an art film series on campus, as film is becoming more commonly accepted as a serious art formused by competent artists. However, the majority of commercial efforts are no more art than pulpmagazines are literature. The demand in any commercial enterprise is to provide the largest passibleaudience with whatever they will pay for, and this fact must inevitably resolve into appealing to themost common denominator of public taste. While one's taste for fine wines can often be satisfied in amass economy, the effect of mass distribution on films is disastrous. One is at the mercy of one ortwo local entrepreneurs. The function the college can serve is to fill this artistic gap. It therefore seemsentirely apropos to promote film art along with painting, music and literature. PLANNING SERIESPlanning a film series is, of course, not unlike planning a balanced collection of literary works, paintingsor musical recordings. One seeks balance in both subject matter and style. The first winnowing oftitles must be made on the basis of excellence. To carry out this process a meeting is called todiscuss possible titles and assemble an acceptable list. The conversation usually goes something likethis: "Frankly, I like "The Seven Brave Tractor Drivers" directed by Eisenstos." ' 'Well, you have to betrue about these things." "Yes, there was a certain rugged earnestness that I found totally irresistible. Inthe great scene, for instance, when the hero faces the pigsty alone, .the montage is so wonderful due tothe imaginative cutting. This is art in the highest sense." "You are just reading that into it, I thought itwas the worst trash I have ever seen." "It's great because he senses the resurgence of the traditionalstress and habitually uses angular fragmentation to consummate his all pervading theme or hermeticanarchy." Eventually we feel pressed to interrupt such a vital conversation and get down to cases. Allpersons are welcome to contribute suggestions for possible shows, but they are further asked tocomment personally, if the film is not well known, why they thought it was good. Reviews by competentcritics are also filed, and notes are compiled on all candidates (including shorts) and final selections aremade from this file. Several titles which have unanimous agreement are rejected for having been shown every three months on TV (only after their excellence had been proven, and when they are notcontroversial). ORIGINAL LANGUAGES All of the films will be in the language of their origin, and non-English works will be subtitled. This is far preferable to dubbed versions which never receive the care necessary for good translations. It should be mentioned here that there is no intention to excludeAmerican films. Often the term 'foreign film' infers either that all foreign films are of better quality thanAmerican films, or that none of ours are good. Make no mistakeâ€”other countries have just as muchnon-talent pointing a camera at any quick draw, reclining wench, or jpsychotic drunk that happens by.H. L. Menchen's famous quip, "No one ever lost money understanding the taste of the Americanpublic," appears to apply universally. The problem of communication is always difficult in the arts, even among the aficionados, and when one is not too familiar with an art form this barrier becomes almostinsurmountable. I wish, for instance, critical notes were forthcoming at some art exhibits, where oneencounters all black canvases, or piles of rusty gears soldered together. Critical program notes areusually furnished with films to raise the general level of sophistication for the medium. Hopefully,students and faculty alike will develop a greater interest in film art. There can, of course, be noguarantee of satisfaction and often the best works of art are the most disturbhg. We can guaranteethat all of the films chosen have been produced by first rate directors and most have won world-widerecognition. Anyone wishing to get into the act of suggesting titles (students and faculty alike) iswelcome to do so. Intramurals undergo Many major changes The men's i n t r a m u r a l set-up at W es t e r n has under gone a d r a s t i c change, according to Dr. W i l l i am Tomar as, chairman of the. Ph y s i c a l Education Department. The changes have been made in an effort to "try to get a strongbasis of competion within the intramural program," To-maras said. For the first time a regular facultymember will supervise the program. Jim Smith, a new faculty member from Madison High School inPortland, Ore., will handle the IM'is. He is also replacing Tomaras as wrestling coach. 'fSmith has a"barrel of ideas," Tomaras added. Don Rieland will be the student IM manager this year. This yearleagues will toe set up in dormitory and independent divisions. Previously, individuals from all corners ofthe campus could get together itnd form a team, but this year residents must compete within their dorm and non-residents will compete in a separate league. Although dormitory students are now slightly more limited in selection of teammates'they htay enter as many teams as they wish. At the end of theseason the winners of the dormitory and independent divisions will play off for the campus crown.TROPHIES GIVEN "Once this is established, trophies can be given to the winners," Tomaras said.Dormitories, for instance, will be able to have trophy cases. A handbook is being written this year forthe intramural program. It will explain rules of the various sports, method for entering teams andeligibility of players. A complete schedule of events will also be in the booklet. The main events willbe offered fall term, according to To-aras. Touch football will start right away, followed by an earlybasketball competition in mid- October and the annual Turkey Trot. STUDENTS MAY STILL SEE VIKS FOR FREE Students wishing to go to tomorrow's f o o t b a l l game against University of BritishColumbia at Civic Field can still get in for free, even though not having Fall quarter student body cards.For the first game only Spring quarter student body cards or, for freshmen, the $35 deposit receipt willbe honored, according to Dr. William Tomaras, chairman of the Men's Physical EducationDepartment. Spouses of students should purchase a special ticket for all the football and basketballgames, he said. For only $3 one can see six .football, games and 10 basketball games. Otherwisethe spouse must pay the $1.50 general admission fee. The tickets can be purchased from the Cashier in Old Main. "An Evening Of Fun" is^the title oÂ£ the first big eveninjg|of events on -campus. â€¢ -^ â€¢ f , "Ther#wiil be a coh^iÂ§Spthe auditorium that will includ%|olk-singing followed by a dance headlined bya 'big name band', " said Brent Hayrynen, AS Program Vice President The tickets will be $l-'50 andthey will be sold in advance only. Following this, on Nov. 8, will be singer, Johnny Mathis. It is costingthe program council $6,000 to bring Mathis here so the tickets for this performance will be sold for$2.50 reserve and $2.00 general admission. The tickets for both of these events will go on sale inthe VU lounge this first week of school. MOVIES There will, of course, be movies during Fall quarter and the first one will be free. It will be held Sunday, Sept. 26 in the auditorium and it is titled "Under TheYum, Yum Tree." Following will be others: "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" "Hud", "Bridge Oyer The River Kwai", and "Becket." The cost of admission for these films is 25 cents. "All of these events areplanned by the program council and any freshman that wants to work on the program council cancome up and see me in the VU because there are jobs available," said Hayrynen.

Iflooking at this rather questionable picture makes you green, turn the paper over and look again. in sameStudents who were ; admitted i to the College late, or didn^t come to Bellihgham early to find housingare being left out in the cold this year. There is an acute student housing shortage in Bell-ingham thisyear, according to Gerald Brock, Director of Housing.- â€¢ . H e said female students were beingaccepted in August only if they could find college-approved housing. Many didn't. Real estate agents inBelling-ham say nothing is available for renting, although several houses are for sale^at an average of$14,000 - 15,000 a shot. The dormitories were filled up months ago and the limited off-campus approvedhousing is also filled. According :to College regulations women students under 21 or having less thanjunior academic status must live in a dorm or off-campus approved housing. More Honor StudentsListed BURBANK, CALIF.

Dr. Thomas H.Grove, of Western's Education Department, died early this month after a short illness. Grove was anassistant professor at Western and supervisor of student teachers for resident centers of theEverett, Edmonds, and Shoreline school districts. He received his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctor'sdegrees at the University of Washington. Dr. Grove was a member of the Christian Businessman'sAssociation and the Northwest Baptists' Association in Seattle. He is survived by his wife, Clarice;four children, Connie, Judy, Randy, and Rawleigh. Freshmen male students must do likewise. AH others may live in indepehdant housing â€ž if they wish. TOO BAD If there isn't enough approved housing tomeet the needs, it is just too bad for the students. The College is building dormitories as fast'as theycan, but that's not fast enough to take care of this year's overflow problem. Since 1960 the HighlandHall addition, Higginson Hall, and the three phases of Ridgway have been constructed. More dorms willbe completed by next year. Miracle pops up; Student rates rise A miracle has happened. Students,those long hard hours of slave labor are now worth $1.25 instead of the traditional dollar! According toJoe Nusbaum, Western's business manager, the Board of Trustees has approved the 25 cent raise. Theincrease was okayed this summer along with the rest of the budget. The major problem lies with thebudget. Legislators in the capital city appropriated five per cent a year raise for salary improvements.The college, in reality, is using the improvements, for the next four years. The deficiency is to beincorporated in to the Federal Opportunity Act. The act provides $34,700 a year and part of it will be used for student salaries. If this method is adopted there will not have to be a decrease of student jobs. Collegian Advertising Schedule Advertising deadline is Monday noon before publication.

Relaxing quietly in the solitude of his room in one of the newRidgeway dormitories, this Westernite contemplates the coming quarter. With the emphasis on comfort,the new dorms^ display excellent lighting, ample living space and a modern decor. Students will occupythe rooms beginning this fall. The Ridgeway complex will continue to grow during the year. More kids-noroom- More dorms the answer Student dormitories are bursting out all over on Western's campus asthe administration tries to meet the problem of enr rolling more and more students. During 1964-65,1,300 men and women were housed on campus. This fall 1,650 students will be living in dormitories and2,274 will live on campus in 1967. Harold Goltz, assistant to President Harvey C. Bunke; anticipatesthat between 2,800 and 3,300 students will be living in dormitory housing by 1970. This summer, a444-bed dormitory was completed in the Ridgeway complex, the western-most section ofdormitories. The project, costing $2,387,500 will provide housing for men as well as an addition tothe Ridgeway dining facilities. Fred Bassetti and Associates of Seattle were the architects. DORMSCONVERTED Two of the earlier Ridgeway men's dorms have been converted for use as women'shousing. This was necessary when it was decided to convert the 76-bed Women's Residence Hall toacademic use. Jerry Livermore of Bellingham was the architect for the conversion. The EducationDepartment will have the biggest use of WRH this fall, Goltz said, but the Speech Clinic and the officesof the Ford Foundation Grant Administration will also be housed there. Western will follow the trend tohigh rise dormitories next year. A nine-story dorm housing 314 students will be completed by fall of1966, Goltz said. The architect is Henry Kline. The development for women will include, among otherthings, two elevators. The students will eat in the Viking Commons, Western's main dining hall.Another dormitory also designed by Kline and in the same block on High Street, is being planned for1967, Goltz said. It will also probably be for women but a project is "under consideration" forconverting Higginsont Hall and Edens Hall North, presently women's dorms, to men's dormitories,Goltz added. No tax dollars are being spent on capital construction at the college," Goltz emphasized."All dormitories are paid for with student fees and room and board money. The WRH project is beingfinanced out of the student's tuition." - The Associated Students own a Line-O-Scribe sign printingmachine. Student organizations wishing to help in their publicity programs can, for a nominal fee, have signs made. A minimum notice of three days is required. EEP! FORGOT ABOUT THESE Trying to find a place for everything in the confusion is Gerrit Byeman, helping with the remodeling of the oldWomen's Residence Hall. When finished; the building will house the Ed Department and FordFoundation Grant office. (Photos by LANCE) irs' at WRH-Out go Co-eds, in come profs The Women'sResidence Hall will never again echo the pjtter patter of feminine feet at all hours of the night. During the summer WRH was converted to academic use. The Education Department has moved its offices thereand will have access to the major part of the building, according to Harold Goltz, Assistant to thePresident. "It's the old game of professor's musical chairs," he said. Prior to. this fall the Educationoffices have been in the Humanities Building and Old Main. "Moving the offices to WRH will bring theEducation Department together," he said. It will also allow the English, Political Science and HistoryDepartments in the Humanities Building and the Math, Economics and Administration areas in OldMain to expand. The Education curriculum library will be moved from Old Main to the Mabel ZoeWilson Library, Goltz added. Only the Education Department's Fifth Year Advisement office will remain in the ivy-covered building. The Campus School office will remain in the School. The EducationDepartment will share WRH with the Ford Foundation Grant office and the Speech Clinic. Space inthe former dormitory has also been converted for two classrooms, a conference room and severalseminar rooms. Behind the clearly identifiable responsibilities of college officials, lies an implicitrespoiir sibility to use education where-ever possible in preference to punishment. All classrooms andoffice buildings are closed to student use at 11 p. m; weekdays and at 12 noon Saturdays. The Viking Union, hours differ considerably. ---------- Collegian - 1965 September 17 - Page 34 ---------- PAGE THIRTY-FOUR THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, SEPT. 17, 1965 Web and UCCF separate close tocampus Contrary to popular opinion, The Web, an espresso house just below the Vis i n g Union,is not a front for a conv^rsion-to-Ghris-tianity movement. Rev. Lyle Sellards, of the United CampusChristian Fellowship house which sponsors The Web, emphasized this point in an interview recently.The Web was started, he said, ttnerely as a coffee house where fstudents could go on weekends. Therethey can play cards, checkers, chess, drink coffee, talk and pUfeten to the volunteer entertainment.The "floor show" depends on who wants to perform. It varies ing to make religion relevant to from folksingers to jazz combos to poetry readers. "Students are given,a chance to express themselvescreatively," Sellards said. The Web is run on student donations in payment for the refreshmentsserved. The UCCF organization is sponsored by the Methodist, Congregational, United Bretheren,Baptist, Presbyterian and Disciples churches on campuses throughout the nation. However, Sellardsdescribes their program as "open" and they try to reach as many students as possible, regardless ofdenomination. Sellards believes, "If you're go place to go. the student, you have to deal with thecurrent issues, many of which are controversial." This is done through several programs held at theUCCF house each week. One of the most popular of these is the "Faculty Speaks" series. Held eachThursday at 4 p. m., beginning Oct. 7, this quarter's topic is "The Importance of Skin"'â€”on thenecessity of being human. Other programs are the Sunday Seminar at 9:30 a. m., informalafternoon program at 2 p. m, and the Book Study Group at 4 p. in. Sellards is from Centralia, Wash.,and attended junior college there. After two years he went to the University of Oregon in Eugene with a pre-med. major. Spending more time in the Northwest Christian College taking theology courses hegraduated with a Bachelor of Theology degree. Sellards returned to his home state and studied for ayear at the University of Washington while acting as a minister to high school youth for the UniversityChristian Church. In 1951 he attended Lexington Theological Seminary in Kentucky and graduatedwith a Bachelor of Divinity degree. After four years as minister to students at the University ofIllinois he .came to Western in 1959. Last summer he began working towards his Master's degree atthe University of British Columbia in Vancouver. "I just want to get back to school;" he said.. C-l series offers Music, drama, films A varied offering of programs, designed to entertain and enrich, had beenscheduled for this year's Concert- Lecture and Film Arts series. In the Concert-Lecture series, anattempt has been made this year as before to achieve a balance of professional drama, concert anddance, which this fall includes two plays and a eon-cert by a noted pianist.

The second part of a three phase, $300,000 project to develop Western's outdoorrecreational facilities is now underway, according to Dr. William Tomaras of the Physical Educationdepartment. The entire project includes the construction of a new practice field and track, thedevelopment of three new playfields, two of which will replace the old track and field area, and finally, the construction of eight new tennis courts next to Carver Gymnasium. The new, multipurpose practicefield and track are "essentially completed," Tomaras said. "We will not use the field at all this fallâ€”we'lllet it settle for a while." NEW TRACK Trackmen next spring will be running on a new, six-lane,quarter- mile oval, which surrounds the practice field. The track is made of a red shale type base, and certain field event areas, such as the broad jump and high jump runways, are made of Grastex, aspecial asphalt-like material. Ending phase one of the huge outdoor project, the new track and field cost $100,000^ The area, which has its own built-in sprinkler system, will be ready for use by spring quarter, and will be used for practice and intramural sports only. "It looks like it will be a real fine field," Tomarasnoted. Just beyond the new track and field- area, bulldozers are presently clearing the way for a40x90-yard auxiliary playfield.

Student problems aided Counseling provided By CAROL COTTLE Collegian Staff Writer Face it, College just isn't College without its shareof problems, whether they deal with the opposite sex, or that last mid-term you just ruined. These littletrials can really get a person down unless he can let off a little steam to someone. The CounselingCenter, available to all of Western's students, is a facility offered where a student who finds he hastrouble meeting these problems can go for counsel. Dr. Frank Nugent, director of the CounselingCenter, says, â€¢'The purpose of the Counseling Center is to facilitate the : instruction-' program bybeing avail-. aMe, to students when they are haying problems- that interfere with their:'learning." ^#ANY PROBLEMS " "The problems that college students come across are many and variedespecially those of adjustment to college in general, so at the Center we try and help the studentsresolve there problems in talking out the problem with a counselor," Nugent said. It seems that one ofthe commonest questions asked by college, students is the question of "Why am I here?" Dr.Nugent stated, "This problem often results in a conflict and this is where the Center can be of use tothe student by involving him in a discussion session so that he can see why he is at college." TheCounseling Center has been operating for three years now as an independent body. .;,, ~ The Center'sstaff is comprised , of six members who teach classes as well as counsel students. The counselors areDr. Frank Nugent, director; Dr. Evelyn Mason, Dr. James Straughn, Dr. William McKay, Dr. ElvetJones and a new addition to the Center's staff, David Panek. All of these counselors teach as well ascounsel and are part-time members of the Psychology Department. VOLUNTEER BASIS "TheCounseling Center offers all services on a volunteer basis and no one is compelled to make use of theseservices unless he feels, that the time spent with the counselor would be of benefit to him," said Dr.Nugent. â€¢ If at any time a student feels he would like to return to the services of the Center, he may, for his file is never closed as these services will always be available to him. vThe."; Counseling Centeralong with' offering individual counselling has initiated a new program of group counselling. Thestudent, of course, can choose which program he would like to take-â€”either a vocational study or oneconcerning emotional and personal problems. This program was begun early in the new year andseven groups were tried, each containing from five to seven people, who would meet at a designated time and enter into group discussions. "The staff felt that this additional service met with a very favorableresponse from students," Nugent also added. TESTING The Center also gives psychological testing when the counselors feel that it will benefit them in being able to help the student more fully. But themain objective in the Center is conversation, to be able to talk about a problem and resolve it, so thetests are only a help in possible indication of a problem. ; The main objective then of the CounselingCenter is to help a student make his own decisions and gives him no answers that he has not begun torealize himself, according to Nugent. Student Tutor Society Reorganized at Western , Need a littlehelp with the studies? Tired of chasing your prof across campus to get some extra instruction? Yourproblem could be solved ~ ~~ this fall.

"I don't want to raise anyprices, if I can help it," he said. "I like to keep the Coffee Shop to the kids' liking," he added. "It's theirshop." The popular luncheon specials offered last year will be featured again this year, he said. "Thestudents seem to enjoy them." Loge is also thinking of a similar dinner special so the students will stayon campus instead of going downtown for supper. A new feature Loge is plugging is a coffee bar where the water cooler and juke box are. This, new addition would have to be approved by the college.

Few teachers like to work in depressed areas, he said, and there are four main reasons for this: The teachers lack the preparation for working with the culturally- deprived. They fear thehostile students in these schools and they don't know how to cope with them.. By leaving these schools they make the- situation worse. There is a lack of recognition for teachers who work with difficultchildren. "Like most human beings, teachers are anxious for a pat on the back," Haubrich said.DEFENSIVE ATTITUDE Parents develop a defensive attitude toward the school. They ignore the teacherbecause the school is the agent that tells these parents they are inadequate, according to Haubrich.Teachers, Haubrch said, must become involved in the style of life and learning' of the culturally-deprived. It must be done even if it means living in the slums of East Harlem or the hills of Kentucky, headded. The problems are many but they can be solved, according to Haubrich. First, the teacher mustleave the classroom and "extend a hand which goes beyond the blackboard," he said. VERNONHAUBRICH . . . gone to Columbia A long look should be taken at the relationship between thecolleges and the public schools, he said. Just as the teacher won't participate in the depressedculture, neither will the college professor "leave his cocoon" and see the world around him, Haubrich said. Schools of inquiry should be set up, he said, where the professor and teacher can meet anddiscuss problems in education. STRICTER CHECK Haubrich said he felt a stricter check should bemade on who enters the teaching profession. "It is not a job for one trying to find an easy route toprofessional status," he added. A longer internship and a more realistic link with the public schoolsare needed. He said perhaps teaching should be postponed until after the graduate level. Finally,and perhaps most im-iportantly, he said the public school system must be responsive to a wider area ofresponsibility. They must discover what it means to integrate schools and what it does to the children.They must find out how deep the chasm is between the teacher and the culturally-deprived child. Thesystem must be "loosened up," he said. New ideas must be tried. "Teachers owe it to their tradition of patience, understanding and humility to make an effort to. do these things,". lie said. Haubrich came to Western in January, 1964, from Hunter Col-lege. New York, where he trained teachers for work inculturally-deprived areas. This fall he will assume a new position at Teacher's College, ColumbiaUniversity, N. Y. Student Bill of Rights posted All students required to appear before a disciplinary board shall be notified as to why their appearance has been requested. In all disciplinary meetings, thestudent shall enjoy the right to speak on his own behalf.

Under no circumstances shall a student be made to feel that refusal to renderinformation will of itself increase the degree of penalty. A student penalized by a civic authority shall not be re-examined by a disciplinary board, unless the civic violation can justifiably be construed asone of major consequence. A student shall not be brought before the Disciplinary Committee whichcompletely lacks student representation unless the student wishes to waive the studentrepresentation. All students shall be made aware of what kinds of actions are deemed irresponsible bythe college and the possible consequences of these actions. The actions of the DisciplinaryCommittee shall be kept confidential, except from those directly concerned, to protect thestudents from any ill effects within the college community.

EASY TO FIND - TURN LEFT FROM HOLLY TOCOMMERCIAL STREET COME IN FOR THE BEST IN DINING Profs anxious- Results near The last leg of t h e Independent Psychology prog r am is about to begin w i t h e n t r a n c e of manysophomore students this fall. At the end of Spring quarter next year the program that was started fallquarter of 1963 will reach the final evaluation stage. The Independent Psychology Program is anexperiment to see whether students are as successful at independent study as students are inclassroom instruction. Dr. Peter Elich, director of the program stated that "the first two years of theprogram and their results had been favorable but we have initiated almost a total change in the programitself, that is, in the course work to be offered." The Independent Psychology course can be describedas a four-area course which has the use of the college resources and equipment under guidance. It issupported by lectures, reserved readings, discussion and consultation with faculty members. Elichsaid that the evaluation thus far points out that some students can obtain the necessary objectivesneeded for an educational psychology course by using the method of independent study. "Theprogram is aimed at identifying the character of students who are successful as well as being self-disciplined persons," said Elich. The Independent Psychology program is available to any sophomoreteacher education student who is willing to accept the responsibility of completing the course. Newstudy guides have been writen and improved and there will be new reading material, some of which isbeing written by the instructors of the Educational Psychology program. The initial group that took the Independent Psychology program will be seniors this year. Of the total 350 students first admitted tothe program in 1963 200 are left. Elich said, "The students who have dropped out of the program haveeither transferred, changed their major or have dropped out of college." Out of these 350 students 50 per cent have completed the whole course of study and the ones that are left will complete their finalseminars in the next year. Last fall approximately 350 students again entered the program. All or acombination of the facilities may be used by students during their program. Competency tests aregiven throughout the year in which a grade of "C" or higher must be achieved. Exams may be taken atany time the student feels he has completed the necessary study and application to pass theexamination. Of course, if the student fails the exam he is free to take the test again when he findsthat he has filled the gaps in his knowledge.

In moments of solitude some of thekids discovered themselves and resolved their lot in life for the first time. They returned to their homeswith a new outlook and reason for living.

Manykids didn't want to go home for the July 4 holiday and tears were shed openly at the end of the eight-week session. But they have memories and can look forward to returning next summer. year's classwill serve as tutors to the new ones, said Billings.

Overcome kids brightenThemselves; campus too : A chance. . . . . Fifty youngsters, mostly from the Seattle-Tacoma area,received this at Western this summer. They were part of Project Overcome, the brain-child of theEducation Department's Dr. Thomas Billings, a program to help prepare "culturally-.deprived" highschool students for college. Financed by the Office of Economic Opportunity, Project Overcomeoffered eight weeks of intellectual, cultural and recreational stimulation to the 50, Caucasians,Negroes, Orientals and Indians, who will enter their senior year of high school this fall. Contact will bekept with these students during the winter by the Overcome staff and they will return to Western nextsummer. Then, after more preparation, they will enter Western in the fall. If the program is a successhere the OEO will recommend that most colleges and universities make it a permanent part of theirsummer programs. The result would be that students all over the United States who hadn't receivedintellectual stimulation at home would have a chance to go to the summer schools and enrichthemselves enough to be able to enter college. Dr. Billings termed the first phase of the program atWestern an "immense success." "Its success was far beyond what we had hoped, and in ways some of us had not even thought about." DAILY CLASSES The boys and girls went to classes each morning, studying English, history, math, science and art. The art program was very popular and one morning the regular summer school students found cardboard and wood sculptures scattered around .the.campus by the "Overcome" kids. (See picture, page 13.) Besides the class. instructors, severaltutors worked with the kids. The tutors were either upper division students or graduates of Western,according to Billings. Next year the project will double in size as the year's 50 plus an additional 50students come to Western.

Stud e n t s at Western went to class for weeks on e n d u n d e r w a r m J u ly skiesand members of t h e summer Board of Control boiled in the heat of t h e i r own a r g u m e n t s over aboathouse. .Last winter quarter the AS Legislature approved plans for the construction of a newboathouse at Lakewood, Western's waterfront recreation area on Lake Whatcom. The estimated costof construction for the project was $4000. This summer the boathouse was completed, but when thebill reached the desks of BOC members, it read $5200, a full $1200 more than the estimated^ price.People were unhappy in the VUI building. Dan Gullickson, Facilities Chairman and manager of Lakewood for the summer, was called before a July 20 Board of Control meeting and received the brunt of thatorganizations wrath. Charges of "hasty decisions" and "boathouse blunder" were fired at Gullickson by Finance Chairman Dave Go-forth and AS Legislator Clark Drummond at the lively meeting. BAD LABOR Gullickson defended himself by explaining that he had not spent more money for the boathouse in"haste" but had spent it only because undependable student labor had forced the hiring of professionallabor at a higher cost, to complete the boathouse in time for summer use. "Students would only showup for work at Lakewood when they wanted to because of the low rate of payâ€”one dollar an hour forwork that pays more in Bellingham," he said. Although a controversy over the boat-house raged on, theappointed summer legislators passed a motion authorizing Goforth to spend up to a total of $5700 forfinishing the boathouse. Gullickson said the boathouse needed painting to make it complete. At the endof the meeting the legislators asked for, and received, Gullickson's resignation. Because of theboathouse. controversy, Goforth introduced a motion for a committee to make recommendations forfuture construction of student-owned buildings to be referred to the fall quarter AS Legislature.Summer BOC was lively for once This summer was a time of unusual activity for Western's Board ofControl. The BOC is a non-elected body of students which serve as the AS Legislature during the nineweek summer session. The peak of activity for the BOC came when the cost of a DEAN FOSTER . .BOC Chairman A Warm Welcome to Students Fagii' from the closest to campus Star Drug TheRexall Store Open 9-9 Sun. 6-9 STATE HOLLY newly constructed1 boathouse at Lakewood, thestudent owned recreation area on Lake Whatcom, exceeded the estimated; cost of construction by$1200. The result of this added expense was a lively BOC meeting during which Dam Gullickson,Western's Facilities Chairman and manager of Lakewood, was accused of numerous "blunders."Because of this controversy, Dave Goforth, BOC Finance Chairman, introduced a motion for a committee to make recommendations for future construction of student owned buildings to be referred to thefall quarter AS Legislature. A motion was passed by the BOC for a committee of two legislatorsappointed by Dean Foster, BOC Chairman, to make future recommendations. MORE ISSUES Anotherhotly debated issue this summer was the problem of toilet and sink facilities at Lakewood. The problemwas centered around the specifications, .cost and construction bids. The Whatcom County HealthDepartment had issued an order that lavatories be installed in the near future. The use of Lakewood forprivate organizations, other than college sponsored groups, was also discussed.- According toGullickson, a private religious group on Lake Whatcom had. created problems loading and unloadingsupplies and guests, and parking cars in Lakewood's parking lot, creating a jam. Legislator Tim Devorebrought up the point that the college has a responsibility to the students and should avoid allowinggroups outside the college to use Lake-wood. In other business, the legislators voted not to allowFacilities Chairman Gullickson a vote oa the Summer Board of Control. Gullickson retorted, "There have been voting Facilities Chairmen on the Summer BOC since 1959. Why shouldn't I get a vote thissummer?"

Two one-act plays by Murray Schisgal, "The Typist" and "The Tiger" were the firstperformances given. The plays were directed by Dr. Byron Sigler, of Western's Speech Department.There were only two characters in each play. "The Typist" starred Roger Keagle and Diane Mc-Cormack while "The Typist" billed James Walker and Megan Jones. MUSICAL Western's Speech and Music Departments co-operated in presenting the musical fantasy, "The Fantasticks." William Birnerof the Speech Department directed the play. Delbert Simon was. musical director and Casandra Lawyer was choreographer. The cast included John Stout, Dick Hastings and Prudy Keeler. The comedywas presented in conjunction with the Summer Concert-Lecture Series. . The final offering of theWestern Players for the summer was "Krapp's Last. Tape" and "Aria da Capo."

A specialchamber opera "There and Back" by Hindemith concluded the program. Ford Foundation smiles$490,000 now ours SCENE FROM SUMMER PLAY A $490,000 grant to develop a new graphic artscurriculum in colleges and public schools was awarded to Western June 28 by the Ford Foundation.The grant, largest ever received by Western, will be used over a three-year period to build and testcurricula that will train both specialists and teachers in the graphic arts. Dr. Ray Schwalm of Western'sGraphic Arts Department will direct the project. "The problem of converting machine language to humanlan: guage and vice vensa is becoming more complei," Schwalm re-, marked in explaining the project."While the need has been understood, opportunity has been limited for the student who is interestedin a comprehensive program in the graphic arts," Schwalm said. If the program is successful, collegesand public schools throughout the country will be Western calls Again to grad Neil Murray, Western'sAssociated Student President two years ago, has returned to college from the big, bad world.Murray, who graduated in 1964 with a Political Science major and B. A^ and B. A. in Education degrees, took over the new.position of -Program Assistant Sept. 1. Murray said his general duties will be toassist Richard Reynolds, Director of Student Activities. He will also be working in the social andrecreatonal phases of student programming. Last year Murray taught ninth grade Social Studies andEnglish in Longview, Wash. While he admits he "liked it" he also says he is happy to be back atWestern. A. S. President Murray was instrumental in many programs. Among these were theformation of the Course Evaluation Program, the Student Tutor Society and the Disciplinary Bull ofRights. encouraged to establish similar curricula. Specifically, the curricula to be developed are brokeninto four parts. These are: â€”A two-year pre-vocational program for grades 11 and 12. â€”A special 12th grade program for students planning to enter industry after high school. â€”An improved two-yeargraphic arts technology curriculum for community colleges and for Western. â€”An improved teachereducation program to prepare the "new breed" of graphic arts teachers. SENIOR HIGH LEVEL . Thesenior high school program will include heavy orientation in science and technology of graphic arts forstudents planning to enroll in a technical institute, community college, or four-year college. Thecommunity college curriculum will prepare students for work in such fields as advertising production,graphic design, commercial and industrial photography, television and motion picture graphics,printing and production control, and other types of jobs involving the planning, preparation ,andproduction of visual information. Those wishing to enter a four-year college will be able to do so withoutloss of credit. At the four-year college level, the curriculum would be written in such a way that thestudent who completes the first two years could go directly into industry or continue on to earn abachelors degree in some phase of visual; communication or in teaching. FIRST PHASE The first phase of the project will get under way this summer when.a group of faculty members representing 12disciplines in the social sciences, physical sciences, and humanities meet for three months to develop a curriculum for Western: During the summer of 1966, teachers and administrators from schools wherethe curriculum will be tested will meet for nine weeks at Western with college faculty members. Their job will be to refine the curriculum and have it ready for testing in, the fall. Curricula will then be tested and evaluated during the following two years. in schools hi Vancouver, B.

See'HONORS' Page 24 Operation Headstart Starts at Western Western Washington State Collegeplayed an integral role in the Pacific Northwest's participation in President Johnson's War on Povertythis summer. In June, Western was used as a training center in "Operation Headstart," a key programdirected by the Office of Economic Opportunity. The goal of "Operation Head-start" is to give some600,000 pre-school, culturally - deprived children an eight-week headstart on more fortunate children prior to entering kindergarten. In two years, $200,000,000 will be spent so these children will not be leftbehind the others in nursery school because of their culturally arid home lives. 25 TEACHERS Twenty-five teachers spent the week of June 21-26 in concentrated study at Western before going to work atthe Child Development Centers throughout Northwestern Washington. They sometimes studied 13hours a day, according to Stewart Van Wingerden of the Department of Education, who supervised the program. Miss Emma Harris, an expert from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, wasbrought in to handle the training. She is in charge of the nursery school at UBC. Mrs. Pat Burks, ofBellevue, described by Van Wingerden as a "master nursery school teacher," also was brought toBelling-ham. DEMO CLASS An eight-child demonstration class was set up and the trainees observedwhile Mrs. Burks taught. The class received instruction from Dr. Lawrence Douglas of Western'sSociology Department, Dr. Vernon Haubrich and Dr. Thomas Billings of the Education Department, apediatrician and others, Van Wingerden said. Both Haubrich and Billings have had long experienceworking with the culturally deprived. At the end of the week, the trainees returned to their centers inEverett, Ferndale and Skagit County. There they worked, us-usally under the sponsorship of the localpublic schools, with the culturally deprived youngsters. Van Wingerden said Western hopes to runanother clinic next year. "The Education Department has been moving towards nursery schooltraining for some time," he said. Teacher placement difficult Placement of teachers is becoming more difficult. Frank Punches, Placement Director at Western, states that the shortage of teachers hasalmost ended. The "war babies" are now studying to be teachers. Due to a state cut in education,schools have reduced in the hiring of teachers. According to Punches about 80 per cent of the 1965graduates in teacher education have been placed. The re maining 20 per cent are working in otherpositions or in the service. Oregon and British Columbia are among the best placement areas out ofthe state. British Columbia certification for teachers is easily obtained by Western students.Placement in the elementary level is less difficult than at the secondary level. There is a shortage oflibrarians, primary teachers, and girls P. E. teachers. "Girls have a tendency to get married," Punches said. FAMILY FUN!

"Women have to work harder for credibility," said Jean Gallegos, the onlywoman to serve on the Whatcom City Planning Commission. "Men extend credibility to other men, butwomen have to earn it." The difference is, a woman doesn't have a wife at home to help," said KayAnderson, recently-defeated Democratic candidate for secretary of state. "A woman has to work doublyhard." Anderson, Gallegos and Harriet Spanel of the League of Women Voters, spoke at a paneldiscussion Wednesday sponsored by the Political Science Club. Anderson related experiences from her'75 campaign and criticized press coverage. "Experience with a hostile press could prepare me foralmost anything," she said. "My opponent had courted the press for many years. He was their drinkingbuddy." She said smear attempts on opponents are part of every campaign. Candidates also mustchoose associates carefully. "I was running a very positive campaign," Anderson told tne small group."Apparently this is not the way to win state office." Gallegos said she would like to see more women inappointed positions. There are often women on library or museum boards, she said, but none on the CivilService Commission or Code Review. "That's really considered men's domain," she said. Only recently a woman was appointed to the Housing Authority. The League of Women Voters tries to -encourage more participation in politics, she said. "Women have to work harder to get their point across," said Spanel.Locally they set up a talent bank, a directory of politically qualified women. "Local officials were veryreceptive," said Spanel. The League of Women Voters is open to all citizens over age 18. The non-partisan group promotes involvement in local, state.and national government; The League grew fromwomen's sufferage in the 1920s. "It's a good training ground," said Spanel. "Women are recognizing thatthey have the capability to give service." "But there's work to be done," said Gallegos. Women have tospeak up, she said. "Men are predominantly the verbal members of society." KAY ANDERSON â€” Therecent contenter for the Washington Secretary of State spoke Wednesday at a seminar on women inpolitics. She commented that women might have a higher average grade point, but in the classroom, men ask the questions. "Once you've got your foot in, the door is open," said Gallegos. "You can go as faras your capabilities and interests." "You have to be committed to be in politics," cautioned Anderson."I'm very grateful for the experience my campaign gave me." Organic baker does not live by bread aloneby KKIK MAGNUSON "Bible Bread." The sign is simple, with letters neatly printed on cardboard inmarking pen, and hangs on the back of an equally unpretentious little electric oven which squats on atable. "Ezek. 4:9 â€” Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley and bean and lentiles and millet andfitches (rye) . . ." A KNEAD FOR GOD â€” Terri Richeson of the New Health Food Store, across from the Leopold Hotel, is interested in teaching her trade as well as making bread. Terri Richeson uses allthese ingredients plus a few the Old Testament deity didn't call for, in her new bakery set in the back of"The New Health Food Store," across from the Leopold Hotel. "I figure God is *he greatest bio-chemist of all time," Richeson said. Distilled water, sorghum syrup (a variety of molasses) and "Hawaiian SunSyrup," a composite of cane sugar, rose hips, orange and lemon juice and papaya also go into herbread in varying amounts. Her wheat, which she grinds herself, all comes from Deaf Smith County, Tex. "No chemicals or sprays have ever been used in Deaf Smith County," according to Clancy Meyer, whoruns the health food store which houses the bakery. Not only does the county produce the mostnourishing wheat in the U.S., Meyer said, but has "the least incidence of tooth decay in the country."Richeson said she uses distilled water uecause "tne worst water you can get is public water â€” Godnever intended us to drink polluted, fluoridated water." Her bakery is just one week old, but is alreadyattracting many customers, according to Richeson. . A devout Seventh Day Adventist, Richardsonsaid she believes "if people would act like Christians in their business and think of other people, the Lordwill provide the rest." She dispenses free samples of her bread to anyone who is interested, she said."One girl had eight slices," she added. Richeson, a vegetarian, said her bread is a "complete proteinfood," which can be used to replace meat. She sells her tiny eight-inch loaves for what many peoplewould call a steep price â€” 89 cents a pound. With the ingredients used, she said, that is as cheap asshe can sell it. She has taught more than 500 people how to bake bread through classes at WhatcomCommunity College and intends to begin teaching again on her own as soon as enough people signup, she said. She has few kind words for the people who bring us "Wonder Bread" and other suchgastronomic delights. "Their bread is mostly air," and has little nutritional value, she said. This is not herfirst attempt at running a commercial bakery. "My husband and I ran a bakery for two years in Ferndale,selling to grocery stores," she said. "But they wanted more white flour, and then they complained thatthe bread didn't keep long enough so they wanted preservatives." The business was a financial success,Richeson said, but they gave it up rather than bow to such demands. "It took a lot of faith to give up abusiness we had put so much work into," she said. Coming from the lips of your typical American Lcapitalist monster, Richeson's claims of beneficence would fall on deaf ears â€” however this short,animated woman with the page-boy haircut and the penetrating blue eyes somehow radiates suchsincerity that it is difficult to doubt her. Of course this reporter, who waddled out of her bakery with a free loaf under one arm and umpteen slices of bread in his gut, just might be prejudiced. Book policy takenas recommendation The Standardized Textbook proposal was approved Tuesday by the AcademicCoordinating Commission (ACC), as a recommendation, not as a policy, as originally intended. The guidelines, as accepted by the ACC, says "all instructors for lower division classes are recommended to adopt a textbook for at least one year (three quarters)." The ACC further recognized an instructor's prerogative to change texts during the year, but it urged each faculty member to consider the fullramifications of such a change. Now active, the recommendation will not carry as much impact as apolicy would, according to George Elliott, student co-op Bookstore manager. He said Wednesday heis concerned about the cooperation from some departments on campus in following the guidelines.Commissioner Hyung-Chan Kim of Ethnic Studies, who moved to accept the recommendations said,"If you have to change fundamental texts, you are not doing you job."

McAlister spoke before the showing of "The Selling of the Pentagon," in Lecture Hall 2.The Harrisburg Seven were indicted for a plot to put a bomb in an air duct under the U.S. capitol and tokidnap HenryKissinger. McAlister said the charge was trumped up by J. Edgar Hoover, whom theSeven had pinned down with some legal discrepancy. They were charged with obstructing justice, andMcAlister was convicted for smuggling a letter to Phil Berrigan in jail. Former priest Berrigan and former nun McAlister were married three years ago. McAlister traced the development of nuclear defensepolicy in this country since 1945, when Truman responded to news of the successful bombing ofHiroshima saying "this is the greatest day in history." She said that our ideas regarding nuclearweapons "are as old as our possession of them, as the idea of aspired technology and the need to win."The win syndrome, she said, has restructured our nation into a permanent national security state.McAlister said the nuclear energy industry itself contributes to the proliferation of weapons , in love -violence with plant waste that produce the same detrimental effects. She noted the problem struck close to home with the construction of $30 billion Trident nuclear submarine in Bangor, Wash., near thepeninsula. "The entire process operates independently of leaders who take a position on the issue,"McAlister said. Access to the controls now lies in the hands of many instead of a few, she concluded.Her personal recommendation for concerned citizens was development of groups that meet regularly tofocus on the issue of national defense. McAlister stressed the need to see each other as resources,since organization at the group level provides opportunity for the community to grow spiritually andpurposefully through the goals of non-violent resistance. McAlister is the co-founder of the Jonah Housein Baltimore, which is founded on the principles of non-violent resistence. When asked where she got herenergy, she replied, "it is largely a matter of spirit, the command to love, to build life, and to protect it."The speaker was sponsored by the Campus Christian Ministry, which has arranged for WilliamStringfellow to speak there at 7 tonight. Stringfellow harbored Dan Berrigan [Phil's brother) while he wasunderground in the period of the Harrisburg Seven. Solution to grade inflation sought There is concernthat grades could lose their meaning and value if grade inflation continues, according to Loren Webb,acting vice president for academic affairs. According to Registrar Eugene Omey, there is noevidence the trend is reversing. Out of concern that scholastic awards are losing their meaning,alternatives are being sought. One alternative accepted by the Academic Coordinating Commission onTuesday proposes that awards be granted on a percentile basis of class standings from GPAs. Theproposal, also accepted by College President Paul Ols-camp and the Dean's Council, states scholasticawards should be given as follows: Magna Cum laude to the upper three per cent of a graduating class;Cum Laude to the upper eight per cent; and honors to the upper 15 per cent. Webb, who submitted thisproposal to the two councils has also asked Omey to prepare a review of grading practices at Westernfor the past decade, to determine if alterations or changes are necessary. Omey said he feels ifinformation is released on the grade upswing, if people become knowledgeable about it, and if there is discussion within departments, the situation could remedy itself. Acceptance by the ACC madeWebb's proposal a reality, going into effect at the beginning of fall 1976. Senate reaffirms WashPIRGWashPIRG was reaffirmed Monday by the All-College Senate when it overrode the "veto" of CollegePresident Paul Ols-camp by a vote of 23-7. Olscamp had refused to implement the Senate approval of WashPIRG. The Senate first passed the concept, 27-6, two weeks ago., WashPIRG wants $2 charged at registration to fund its program. Students who wish a refund may do so later in the quarter.Olscamp, while explaining his objections, said, "If the trustees vote no, I hope it will not end theWashPIRG movement." To that, Ann Shiras, co-chairperson of WashPIRG replied, "You say you'refor us, but you won't fund us." Shiras said they had talked to trustee Robert Winston and would talk toothers in the next two weeks. Marvin Southcott of the technology department said he objected toprospective students paying to join an organization before they attend classes here. The Board ofTrustees will consider WashPIRG in a meeting, March 5. In other business, Olscamp announced theProgram Studies Committee will probably have a final report in mid-March.

There are also openings inmany crafts and specific musical instruments, she said. There are current openings in Honduras,Nicaragua, Paraguay, Niger, Lesotho and. tfte Republic of Korea among others, LaTour said. ThePeace Corps at present has about 7,500 volunteers in 68 countries. Applicants should have aBachelor's Degree or be expecting to graduate in March or June. A 30-day waiting period for medicaland personal reference clearances can be expected she said. Peace Corps tours are for two years, with three months of training in language, job orientation and host nation culture. French and Spanishare predominant languages. Volunteers receive a living allowance based on the host nation's cost ofliving, round trip transportation, medical treatment and housing. An $1,800 readjustment allowance atthe end of Peace Corps service also is given. In the Peace Corps LaTour worked in Liberia, Africa,teaching language arts and library techniques.

WEEKLY SALES AT *3.f7 EVERYDAYLOW PRICES 1^35 Railroad Ave 676-9573 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 , Western Front 3 VP hopeful wants better faculty funding by DICK MILNEWestern needs more quality faculty to bring in more money, according to John LaTourette, candidate forvice president for academic affairs here. LaTourette was here earlier this week to meet with the vicepresidential search committee and college president, and to tour the campus and community. At a two-hour public forum Monday afternoon, LaTourette said national prominence for Western could help bring inmore financial support. "The key is to add to your quality faculty to give you national visibility whileserving local needs," LaTourette said. "I assume you have at least 10 per cent high quality faculty here,"he said. "That's not a criticism. It's typical of most schools." LaTourette is acting provost for graduatestudies and research for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. SUNY went through areduction-in-force program in which the Russian department there was entirely eliminated, he said. "Thedecision was to take deep cuts here and there to preserve the areas of quality," LaTourette said. He saidthe Russian department was "a pretty poor group of faculty" and "if that department is needed again, wewould hire a whole new department." Tenured faculty members were among those let go at SUNY.LaTourette said he doesn't have any "strong feelings" about tenure quotas, although he said it "decreases a department's flexibility." "Whether we like it or not, state government is holding administrators andfaculty accountable for the use of state funds," he said. "We're fighting for survival." In order to win thatfight, you have to bring in quality programs, he said. "You have to realize it's going to have a high pricetag." At times of low enrollment or changing student interest, "You have to take a close look at thesituation," he said. "You don't want to make cuts that will embarrass you in the future." LaTourette saidmost institutions went tod far in throwing out or revamping general college requirements in the 1960s andearly 70s. "There's good grounds for a regulation stipulating a student should have a certain number ofhours in humanities and social sciences. There's justification for a year of calculus and a year of lifescience and a lab." At the same time, the college should allow students to pursue specialized programswhich result in jobs, encouraging them to pursue a masters degree while working, LaTourette said.Education for jobs "is what a public university is supposed to do," he said. LaTourette is a 1954 graduateof Rutgers University, and received his doctorate in economics there in 1962. At SUNY, LaTourettehandles all research money that comes into the institution while overseeing 18 doctorate programs and over 30 masters programs. He said he applied for the job here because he felt it would be "morechallenging" than his job at SUNY.

Ray, please contact theWestern Front so we can authenticate your letters. PIRG funding is boiling point The fate of Western'sPublic Interest Research Group proposal has boiled down to the controversy over how the proposedorganization will be funded. Proponents of the measure have opted for a mandatory $2 fee, collected.with tuition payments from every student. Students who chose not to support WashPIRG could havetheir $2 refunded. Opponents of the measure have insisted the mandatory collection of fees isdiscriminatory against students not in favor of WashPIRG. It's been debated that those students wouldnot bother to file for a refund, and the use of colleges as collection agencies for a public research groupmay be unethical. An alternatvie method of funding^ has been suggested whereby students could choose at registration time whether or not they wish to support WashPIRG. Proponents of WashPIRG haverejected that alternative for fear that students, who would otherwise support WashPIRG, mayapathetically, decline to register their support. Student apathy has been a springboard for arguments onboth sides. On the one hand, students wouldn't bother to pay the $2, on the other hand, studentswouldn't bother to ask for a refund. Few persons have attacked the WashPIRG proposal on its face. It'sbeen recognized that PIRGs in other parts of the country have successfully exposed a number of publicrip-offs. The good that a Bellingham PIRG could do has not been denied. Yet, the proposal may die inthe very name of student (public) interest which such an organization would serve. Apathy has beenused as a catch-all excuse for non-involvement. If student apathy indeed exists, why not use it to ouradvantage for once. If students neglected to ask for a refund, it's not like their $2 wouldn't still be workingfor them. Even students who decline to support WashPIRG will enjoy the benefits as citizens andpotential consumers. That would be getting something for nothing. Who'll be discriminated against inthat respect? It is also only fair to ask whose interest is served by preventing the formation of a localPIRG â€” mainly business interests and public larceny groups. Politics enter the scene when oneconsiders who is being browned in the solicitation of private donations for higher education. While log-rolling may be behind it all, the argument against WashPIRG just doesn't seem to wash. It invites areciprocal answer to proposed tuition increases. "It's not the idea of funding higher education we oppose; it's just the method of funding." â€” Keith Olson front staff EDITOR: Keith Olson MANAGING EDITOR:Louie Phillips NEWS EDITOR: Dick Milne ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Janene Lofgren SPORTSEDITOR: Carolyn Price COPY EDITORS: Tori Bonneville, Marshall Brown Suki Dardarian, MargaretGodfrey, Roy Tanaka PRODUCTION MANAGER: Greg Hoofinagle ASSISTANT PRODUCTION: Liz RustADVERTISING MANAGER: Tom Ellison AD GRAPHICS: Maria McAllister, Dave Porter BUSINESSMANAGER: Duane Wolfe PHOTO EDITOR: Ray Hoy The Western Front is the official newspaper ofWestern Washington State College.

All Gory folks of school Satire by Dan Smith Theeducational system of the tiny Republic of Demokratia was falling apart. Students, heady with freedom,had recently divided the State University into five sovereign nations, thus making the administrationprocess a bit cumbersome. As a result, an education expert was sent to the United States of El Dorado,possessor of a legendary educational system, paved with gold. On arriving in El Dorado, Ed U. Kayshun(the Demokratians were famous for their droll sense of humor), the education expert was taken to Break'em Young University, where he received a shock. The students were lined up goose-stepping into thedean's office where each received a whack on the head with a mallet. Shock number two came whenKayshun saw a student chained to his desk. "Oh, he's a hard-headed liberal arts major who just refusesto learn differential calculus," explained the dean. "But what's the use of forcing it down him?" queriedKayshun. "This nation was built on equality! Everyone is gonna come out the same if it kills him!" At that point the dean looked at the student's paper. "What! Only 98 out of 100 correct. Do not pass, do notcollect an "A," go directly back to where you started!" Kayshun, in sympathy with the poor student whoappeared in shock, offered to take him out and buy him a beer, or a coke of he wasn't old enough."School policy forbids that, sir," answered the student. "Mercy above, hands that touch the demon Colashall never shake mine." "Tell me what you really think of this place," said Kayshun. "The judiciousremonstrances create a certain a-propos quid pro quo, strictly in a de facto sense. Or, in Chinese, acertain Teng Shung, translatable as Mystic Harmonious Septum. Or . . ." Kayshun went home to makehis report. Accordingly, the republic of Demokratia became the Kingdom of Tyrannia and adopted the ElDorado method. Within a few years, the students had revolted, occupied the University buildings anddeclared them a sovereign nation. "Perhaps we didn't do something right," suggested the King. So, onceagain, Kayshun was off to El Dorado. "Are you sure you brought me to the right place?" asked Kayshun. His question was prompted by the fact that the University had changeditsnametotheNow Placeof YourThing! andby the sight of the dean locked in a stockade, being paddled by the students. "Of . . . OW . . .course," the dean yelped. "The students are simply notifying me of the new rules against short hair, longskirts and â€” ha, ha â€” right-handedness." Later, Kayshun visited a class on Transcendental Macrame, which two students had organized. It was report card day and they both received "A's". "It's really quitesimple," explained the instructor. "In order to be true to the principles of equality, we cannot possibly onlygrade those who are attending school, but must grade the entire population. Since these two are the only ones attending this class they get "A's." Everyone not enrolled will naturally get failing grades."Kayshun went over to talk to one of these remarkable students who was capable of organizing his ownclass. "Excuse me/ What is this class about and what books have you read?" "Read . . .oh, man. . . I'm black and white and everything is reeeed . . . all over . . . red, white and bluuuue . . . Oh wow! It's theMan . . . don't let him take my rock records away." "No, no, it's okay . . . what do you think about thisplace?" "Well, it's like, great, wow, you know, far out, it's the neatest coolest Mother (Bleep) in the world, dude. Hay, next time you come from Tyrannia, can you bring me a six-pack of Coprs?" ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 5 Letters Pot: 'Eat every herb' Action seen as protest againstEditor, Western Front: American policy, student apathy This letter is in reference to "Pot leaves, crosses stirring controversy." Contrary to what was insinuated in this letter, some "devout Christians" so indulge in marijuana. Gen. 3:16 â€” "The Earth brought forth grass, and herb bearing seed after his kind . . .and God said, 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth,and every tree in lt; gt; which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be meat." Exod.10:12 â€” "Eat every herb of the land." Prov. 15:17 â€” "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than astalled ox and hatred therewith." Further, what was said about protest I find totally inadequate for thepresent situation. I see the appearance of marijuana leaves in windows as a way of expressing beliefthat marijuana should be legalized. These people should not be downgraded simply because theirs isa symbolic expression . . . Tyler Bentley 406 Hoff Road Bowie review showed 'abysmal conception'Editor, Western Front: Rick Donker's review of Bowie's Seattle concert showed an abysmal conceptionof music and the industry which generates it, or perhaps an overindulgence in Jack Daniels. Yearsago, Bowie benefitted from the advantages of a multi-million dollar publicity hype and the coaching of one of the few innovative geniuses in the rock industry. Cherry Vanilla manipulated the industry movers with her sexual favors, much as John Lennon had with his intellect. However', the hype was deserved. Hewas surrounded by extremely competent musicians and engineers and rode the crest of a creative tidein hard rock music. Bowie now suffers the fate of an actor without a role, surviving the business onlybecause of his salable name. The monied interests have remodeled his image and sent out "The ManWho Sold the World" again, only this time as a venture in crass commercialism. The show began withseveral subliminal psychological tricks stolen from Jethro Tull's "Passion Play" tour anddegenerated from there. The musicians were pathetically inadequate to back up a voice like Bowie's.Although the band was bad, the engineers must have been asleep. The concert was plaguedconstantly by feedback, improper volume levels, and a lack of mid-range frequencies, the guitars beingdivided between extreme treble and bass. All the show provided was Bowie's voice and that little bit of stage presence he salvaged from an earlier era. No Mr. Donker, Bowie's Seattle concert was worse than bad . . . it was unprofessional. Gary Bowden Senior Editor, Western Front: In response to the potleaves letter, I applaud the actions of lower campus students. Ted Brancate and Matt Shaw haveequated this dissident action to an 'obvious' disapproval of 'cardboard Christian crosses.' However, myappraisal of the situation is entirely different. I see this protest as an outpouring of dissatisfaction withthe wholly absurd and unjust acts of security in an attempt to enforce the asinine restrictions placed onuse of a harmless weed. The authors of this absurd letter say that these actions 'display a behaviorunbefitting of any college-aged individual.' In my estimation, any action that can be determined to be aprotest against the injustice of American policy in this, a bicentennial year, must be applauded as anaction befitting all Americans of any age. Ted and Matt continue by charging the perpetrators of thishonorable action of disregard for the feelings and convictions of others. I beg you, Ted and Matt,show some respect and regard yourself. In this age of passive acceptance, I applaud any action thatmoves to destroy the apathy college students bathe themselves in. Students of the lower campus, Iapplaud your actions of protest against the oppressive policies of this nation. I would appreciate one of your leaves to display in my residence off campus. Viva freedom, an end to tyranny. Robert CaudleSenior There's no controversy Editor, Western Front: This letter is being written as a response to theletter in the Feb. 6 Front, written by Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. I don't think there's a controversyover the pot leaves and the crosses. I think it is a form of demonstrating by two groups of individuals that have separate beliefs. One group is into God and the other into pot. If one group is forced to removetheir emblems of faith, then the other-should be also. Think about it. That doesn't sound like democracyto me. This is supposed to be a free country, so everyone should be able to voice (or demonstrate) their beliefs openly. There are many types of people in this community, and if we are to peacefully co-exist,there must be give-and-take by all parties involved.

As an originator and supporter of this so-called "protest," I object to theattitude of Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. First of all, when I put the marijuana leaf in my window, it wasneither in disapproval nor in retaliation of the cardboard crosses in some of the windows. I put it in mywindow as an expression of my beliefs and convictions. It's too bad that some of the people on thiscampus are having a difficult time grasping the idea of respecting these beliefs and convictions. Inresponse to the opinion that the originators and supporters of this "aggressive attitude" are"displaying behavior unbefitting of any college-aged individual," forgive me, but I was never giveninstructions concerning what behavior does befit college-aged individuals. If displaying the properbehavior means not expressing oneself the way one finds it necessary to do so, then I want no part of it. I have no desire to cause "dissonance among Western students," but neither do I have any desire tobe told how I may express myself, nor how I should behave. ' Putting the marijuana leaves in thewindows was not intended as a malicious or aggressive act anymore than displaying the crosses was. A few people got together one afternoon and decided we wanted to express ourselves, just as thedevout Christians have done. If the leaves have caused anyone to suffer, then I apologize for my part inthe offense. But the leaf will remain oh my window.

That is,your amateur cartoonist, your bisexual pervert, your WashPIRG pushers, your lily white liberals andyour somewhat disconnected Roving Mike. The amateur cartoonist with the Bozo mentality shouldtake note that he and his troopers from the "Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission" have not ruffed a single hair on Ronald's somewhat legendary scalp. Bozo and his revolutionaries have only served tolight the fuse that will send Reagan skyrocketing to the White House. -Just - remember- Ronald callshis wife "mommy," likes a good fight and is a winner all the way. How is it this damned "GayAwareness Week" and WashPIRG exploitation get an over abundance of publicity in your paper? Iwould suspect it is a group of backhouse socialists using the Western Front as a tool to further promotetheir leftist aspirations. You and your staff are most likely not even aware that an increasing number ofstudents are having their (illegible) ta-tooed. In view of this, I would strongly recommend you change thename of the paper to the Eastern Front. A for the-Roving Mike, it's high time you trade it in on a newone. Not only is it out of touch with the international scene, but also on the local sports scene. It makes absurd statements like "Canadian alien law prohibits citizen from owning land." The latter being anabsolute and outright fallacy. In all fairness, I must comment you and your staff for keeping my catwell supplied with kitty tissue to line her litter box. This tissue has little substance, great absorbtionstrength, makes my kitty feel like a real aristocat. What more could anyone ask for?

This play is a moving, modern adaptation ofGreek dramatic forms, on the order of "Death of a Salesman," Miller's most famous play. As a result, itcould easily be overplayed and overdirected by anyone too enamored of Romantic tragedy style. In allrespects though, director Dennis CatreU has avoided this tendency toward melodrama. The play movescrisply throughout and the timing is smoothly maintained, even though the play moves subtly betweenmoods of comedy and strong emotion. David Locey, a graduate student from Federal Way, is cast in the lead role of Eddie Carborie, a longshoreman who is giving refuge to two cousins from Italy who haveentered the country illegally. Annette Halseth of Tacoma plays his niece Catherine, a pivotal characteraround whom all the other characters play their passions. Beatrice, Eddie's wife, is played by GiuliCascioppo, a senior from Seattle. She is the only one in the play who is portrayed as especiallyBrooklynish, but she restrains herself just enough so that the role doesn't become a caricature.Rodolpho, the Italian cousin who falls in love with Catherine, is played by Peter Kelley. Blond, a singerwho sews and cooks, he displays just enough feminity to give Eddie doubts about his "rightness," yetconvinces the audience that Eddie is likely wrong, and remains a character with whom we aresympathetic. Dick Falkenbury who plays Marco, the other somewhat strong and dumb Italian cousin, isthe only player who fell somewhat short. Attempting to sound strong and dumb, his delivery was oftenonly wooden and lifeless and on several occasions his timing was noticeably off. But dumb roles areoften difficult for people wTho aren't. Finally, the part of Alfieri, played by Scott Creighton, a junior fromEdmonds, deserves separate attention. This play was written during a period when American playwrightswere experimenting with narrators and interlocutors as modern substitutes for the Greek chorus. OVERCOFFEE â€” Beatrice [left], Catherine [right] and Marco discuss family business. Alfieri, a neighborhoodlawyer representing the force of the Law, is just such a part. Unfortunately, this device did not work toowell and Alfieri is saddled with cliches and misplaced metaphors. Also, the part requires that the playersit dead still just off to the right of stage while the rest of the action is going on, then suddenly jump up to begin his explanations. Considering these handicaps, Creighton played his part very well. Regardless of the play's minor flaws, Miller is successful with his aims and the production does full credit to histalents. The play will be presented twice more, tonight and tomorrow, at 8:15 in the Old Main Theatre.Tickets are only $1.50 for students.

"It took a couple of weeks to get used to the sounds coming out of there" says Cindy Davis, ticket taker at the State. Occasional inquiries from out of towners about"where the action is" and rarer flashes by exhibitionists are the only unusual incidents she's experienced. She said customers are usually friendly coming into the theater, but eye contact is hard to get on theway out. Being the first live girl encountered in their departure, Cindy said she often wonders if she'sbeing fantasized about by male customers. Single males make up most of the State's business, butcouples are not infrequent. Ages run generally in the mid to late thirties, according to Charles DeCoster,co-owner of the State. "We've found college-age people are generally unprepared for hardcore," DeCoster said. Most people who walk out in the middle of a show are college-age couples, he said. DeCosterdescribed a typical departure as the girl coming out first, striding for the door, staring CINDY DAVIS â€”Ticket veifdoi straight ahead. The guy follows about ten feet behind looking at the floor. Another eroticfilms theater DeCoster ran #i an Illinois college town was very popular with student audiences. He said he feels students at Western are less interested in films than students in other areas. $ Until August,1976, the State was a floundering theater featuring films similar to Fairhaven's The Picture Show. ThenDeCoster switched to erotic films and business improved considerably, despite an admission increasefrom $1 to $3. Films at the State vary from blue movie classics such as "Behind The Green Door" and"The Resurrection of Eve" to more basft; City 'promiscuous' in obscenity control: Hertz The U.S. Supreme Court, fearing it would become the High Court of Obscenity, established guidelines in 1973 to limit thenumber of cases brought to the justices. Here is how the law stands after those decisions: â€”interstatetransport of obscene material by common carrier may be prohibited. â€”importation of such material maybe prohibited. obscene material is not protected under the First Amendment. â€”"adult theaters" may notshow obscenity even if the spectators are limited to those over 18 years old. â€”adults may possessobscene material in their homes. â€”obscenity is judged by the state standard of the jury, not national orlocal community. â€”obscenity is patently offensive, and, when taken as a whole, lacks serious literary,artistic, political or scientific value. DAVE McEACHRAN BELLINGHAM MAYOR KEN HERTZ by AMYNELSON BRISTOW Bellingham has no official policy on obscenity and pornography and no city attorneyto enforce a policy, Mayor Ken Hertz said Friday. But, Kertz said, Bellingham needs to decide whether it wants to allow "adult" or sex-oriented businesses in the city. He listed three ways to approch the issue:"We can continue to tolerate expansion (into residential and throughout business areas, we cancontrol them in a specific area, or we can eliminate them altogether." Hertz said outdoor movies presentthe largest problem, since they can expose children to sexually explicit subjects and scenes andbecause outdoor theaters are drifting out into other areas of the community. "We have becomepromiscuous in what we allow people to do when we allow these things to go into other parts of thecommunity," Hertz said. Under controlled circumstances, limited adult entertainment areas could betolerated, he said. Such businesses may serve as an oullet for some persons, and that could be a major justification, Hertz said. And, he added, the freedom of people to do what they will is anotherconsideration. "It's like legalizing card playing rooms. If we attempt to eliminate them, they' gounderground," Hertz said. David McEachran, Whatcom County prosecuting attorney, made a similar observation in an interview Friday. "There is definitely a market or these businesses wouldn't be inexistence." "The whole area is a mess," said McEachran, explaining that loosely defined legal standards have muddied the waters of obscenity law. While ruling that obscenity can be defined, the SupremeCourt has offered only a vague definition, leaving each locality to determine how it wants to handle sex-oriented theaters, bookstores and other businesses. McEachran said the best way to bar sex-appealingbusinesses is through city ordinances. If a city is concerned about pornography and obscenity it canrefuse to grant operating licenses to certain kinds of businesses or set prohibitions on what will go onwithin its limits. ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 9 ---------- e porn changes dirt into gold Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 9 or fhe State Street Theater.hardcore. I sat in on "The Last Bath," the first production by a Seattle erotic film company. Refularcustomers, about 20 per' cent of the State's business, didn't care for "The Last Bath" because it wasn'thardcore enough, Decoster said. Mowever, it is an ambitious, high quality film. The photography isexcellent and as much concerned with scenic footage of the Pacific Northwest as fornicating couples and triples. fhe cast made a noble attempt at acting, and the film included an interesting, originalsoundtrack. Being absorbed in the more basic qualities of the spectacle, I missed what may hatebeen a subtle attempt at a plot. A couple blocks south of the State is Bellingham's latest addition to theblue film industry, The Green Apple Theater. Films at the Green Apple are less technically refined, butdeliver more sex per second than those at the State. The Green Apple offers no plots, soundtracks oreven the slightest attempt at acting, just straight ahead stuffat 25 cents foraminuteand a half. An entirefilm runs about $2 and 10 to 12 minutes. It may be more expensive than at the State, but for truepornophiles there are great advantages to the Green Apple. Customers enjoy large, clean, carpetedviewing rooms. Screens are wall sized and ashtrays and kleenex dispensers are provided. It's luxuriouscompared to the traditional descent into the dark, dank, catacomb corridors of coffin sized, faded woodviewing cubicles encountered in similar establishments. Films at the Green Apple are changed weeklydue to a large number of regular customers. An employee of the Green Apple describes regulars as"single, lonely men," but "perfect gentlemen." The atmosphere is cordial. She said many of them actembarrassed about coming to the theater. A few no longer seem embarrassed and sometimes stop totalk. She said she feels The Green Apple and theaters like it are "an important thing in the community."So if you are curious, a fanatic follower of the genre or just want to compare your performance with thepro's, The State Street Theater and the Green Apple offer modern, safe and sanitary opportunities.Photos this page by Dan Lamont Porn shop sells everything but 'that weird stuff BOOK RACK AT THEGREAT NORTHERN BOOKSTORE by MARSHALL BROWN Merritt Hewitt, co-owner of Great NorthernBooks on Railroad Avenue, prefers to leave the distinction between hardcore and softcore pornography toothers. "I sell penetration," he says. "Except for the really weird stuff like necrophilia, mutilaton andbeastiality," Hewitt said last Friday evening. Sitting behind a display case of sex novelties, Hewitt, atrim, dark 31, was keeping one eye on the television news and the other on the two customers perusingthe store's stock. From his vantage he could see everything in the store except the standard "skin mags" sold almost everywhere these days. "I came into it for the money," Hewitt said. While a historygraduate student here, he clerked at the store for three years before becoming a partner with GaryDeLorenzo, who opened the store in 1971. DeLorenzo is also a former Western student. "It was a way to get started, and it gives me lots of time to read non-pornomaterial," Hewitt said. "I look at it from abusiness point of view â€” I'll buy what I can sell." What the store sells is novelties, books, magazines,comics and coin-operated movies in the store's rear. Hewitt said merchandise is selected for sale byquality not kinkiness. "A lot of what we see (from distributors) is cheap junk, especially some of thenovelties," he said. The store's supplier is in Seattle, but Hewitt declined to name the company."Everything we have sells pretty evenly, from the comics up to the $6.50 and $10 books and magazines," he said. Ten per cent of Great Northern's customers are unaccompanied women, 15 per cent if couples are included, Hewitt said. He was less definite about other breakdowns of his customers. Heestimated his gay patronage at 15 per cent, "as far as the sale of gay materiel is concerned." He said hethought another 15 per cent are Canadians, although with both groups he has "no way of knowing forsure. It's hard to tell." College students are not a significant part of his business. "I think most studentsjust pass it by. I guess they're just not interested in sex," Hewitt said, half smiling. Winter is the slowest time of the year for sales. "People view this as a luxury, and tax time is here," he reasoned. The coldweather doesn't help business either, he said. Hewitt couldn't recall any hassles the store has had. Hesaid an occasional drunk wanders in, but they're just asked to leave as would happen in a bar. "Theword's pretty well out with the kids, too," Hewitt said. "We don't get many underage here." The lawrestricts those under 18, but the sign in the storefront says 21 "just to avoid as much hassle aspossible," he explained. Shoplifting is not as much a problem as might be supposed of a store asspecialized as Great Northern. Tim Miesse, a clerk, said in his four years working there off and on, hehas caught only two people. There was brief flurry of local official interest in the store after the 1973Supreme Court community standards decision. " They' came in here and bought a few items, but Iguess they decided the items were alright. We haven't heard anything," Hewitt said. As for his own views, Hewitt said, "I don't know what obscenity is anymore, and I don't think the state does either." Hewittsaid the Supreme Court ruling didn't change things much in Washington. "The Legislature apparentlydecided the laws that were good before were just as good after (the ruling)." The storefront is curtainedoff, and passers by on the sidewalk "could see more on the magazine rack at Pay 'n Save," Hewitt said.Once inside, except for the subject material, the quiet, relaxed atmosphere could be mistaken for areligous reading room. Magazines and books cover the entire spectrum of human sexuality (exceptthat "really weird" stuff). Some are composed entirely of photographs, some are mixed prose and photos and some are all prose. Hewitt doesn't look for any loosening of restrictions on pornography. He said the community standards decision "seemed to limit the distribution jf materials interstate." And, "if eitherReagan or Wallace comes to power, or becomes a major force in the Presidential selection," Hewitt said, "those two guys would repress it." For the time being, Great Northern Books seems to be on firmground in Bellingham, and business seems to be good. A branch store was opened in Mt. Vernon Dec.1. "Our store there used to be a Bible bookstore," Hewitt said. "Our first day some people walked inthinking it still was and just about sâ€”." ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 M M BAKED LASAGNE VENUS PIZZA SPAGHETTI STEAK HOUSE 1304 12th St. in Old Fairhaven SB We stay open Just for you* We keep.people hours.

Wendy Warren, LindaAnderson and Martin Reeves feel practical experience, rather than in-classroom theory, is a good wayto get an education. CC, an organization that calls itself a citizen's lobby, is a way college students canbecome involved in government, said Jim Sorrels, president of CC in Washington state. 'Students are anenthusiastic resource and we like to see them get involved' The Fairhaven students attend House andSenate full sessions, House and Senate Constitution and Election committee meetings and lobbyindividual legislators for the campaign reform bill. "Students are an enthusiastic resource and we like tosee them get involved," Sorrels said. Based in Washington, D.C. and striving to make the system work,CC focuses on accountability, not personalities or political parties, according to a CC publication. Tobring this "accountability" to government, CC works for the citizen's right to know, opening congressionalcommittee and federal agency meetings to the people and press, and urging financial disclosure bypoliltical candidates and office holders. Reeves says he was surprised by the cordial reactions oflegislators towards him. "I used to have a negative attitude towards government, but now I realize most ofthe people here are trying to do a good job," he said. Friday the 13th not all that bad Don't lose yourhead and/or get married â€” it's Friday the 13th. Marriage on a Friday is supposed to cause infidelity inone or more of the partners, according to voodoo legend. Through the years Friday was traditionally used as the day of execution, and was frequently germed "hangman's day." Named after the Norsegoddess Freya, the day was originally reserved for a festival in her honor. According to legend,when the people stopped worshipping her, she brought ill fortune. Norse legend also deemed 13unlucky because the god Loki intruded at a banquet of 12 guests, and his power brought the death of the hero Balder. In Greek legend, the curse on the House of Atreus brought death to King Agamemmnon on January 13. Christianity picked up 13 as an unlucky number with Christ and his twelve disciples at the last supper. Christ was crucified on Friday and Adam was expelled from Paradise on Friday. Adamrepented and died on Friday. Historically, Friday the 13th has seen a variety of events in the U.S.:impeachment proceedings were begun against Andrew Johnson in March, 1868; Woodrow Wilson was the first President to set foot on foreign soil in December, 1918; the first woman senator, H.O.W.Caraway of Arkansas was elected in November, 1931; and Cora Sterling of Seattle was the first womanappointed to an aerial police force in 1934. So it doesn't have to be a bad day. Besides, it's the first day of the quarter that's followed by a three day weekend.

We all have our sinsand yours are not greater than mine. On behalf of some of my self righteous Christian brothers andsisters who do look down on you, I apologize. I do judge gay relationships as sin. I define as sin, any actor attitude that is destructive to relationships, destructive to the relationship of person to himself, aperson to his neighbor, a person to God. I bring God into the discussion because, if there is noultimate absolute God to stand as Loving Judge over us all, then there is nothing to discuss. You cansay that Gay is good and that being anti-gay is bad but the terms good and bad have no meaning in auniverse with no God. I do suggest that this is the position of the majority of people in the gay movement. You live in a universe with no ultimate moral authority so you are free to do as you please. If life has noultimate meaning then it doesn't really matter what we do. If that premise is true, I agree with theconclusion. "Eat, drink and seek pleasure for life has no meaning." If, on the other hand, we live in auniverse created by a wise and loving God, then we are foolish to neglect the principle of moral law andorder, a moral law and order given for the benefit of the created creatures. Obedience in that universewould bring freedom and life, joy and hope. In spite of the persistent rhetoric from the gay movement, Isubmit that the gays are not free but exist in a state of bondage, a bondage that is not "liberating" but a bondage that makes the universe drab and cramped and lonely. In spite of the constant use of the term"meaningful relationships," I am of the opinion that the gay life leads one down a despairing road that is a revolt against life itself. Is it possible that your revolt against traditional morality is a revolt of the limbagainst the tree, a revolt of the hand against the heart? If you succeed in cutting yourself off fromtraditional morality, maybe you will find that you have cut yourself off from everything that matters? Thereis no such thing as a "new Morality," only a rebellion against the old one. All attempts at a "newmorality" are merely a watering down of real morality. The laws of morality are as rigid (and for thatreason, helpful) as the laws of science. Either we obey them, or by our disobedience and ourunwillingness to seek forgiveness, we choose self destruction. We may choose to disbelieve in thatstrange story about an apple and a snake but that should not cause us to overlook the point of the story.A question I would encourage you to ask yourself: Where is the gay life going to take you in twenty orthirty years? It is the same question the playboy or playgirl need to ask themselves. Is thecommittment to personal freedom going to bring freedom, or will the temporary glitter of the selfish lifeeventually going to lose its shine and begin to rust and decay? I think that gay Christians haveadjusted their theology to their desires rather than attempting to direct their desires by their theology. We Christians are under orders to present our whole selves as a sacrifice up to God in Christ. All ourinclinations both good and bad must be offered up. We can obey or disobey. "He who saves his lifeshall lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake ..hall save it." (Christ). The real question is, do we want the truth about life, whatever it is, or do only want what we want. Are we orphans in universe out otfulfill our immediate desires, or are we someone's kids who are each loved personally. I wouldencourage you to make an intelligent investigation of Christianity. I'm convinced that Christianity outshines all the options, as the sun outshines a candle. sponsored by Campus Christian Fellowship 733-3077676-0490 C.C.F. meets at 7:30 on Friday's in V.U. 450 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Human Services gets $950 operating budget School of Edseeks dean by TERRY McGUIRE The Activities Council has apportioned a $950 operating budget to the Human Services Program Student Organization, a new off-campus group. The organization hadrequested $2,900 for operating expenses, but it was reduced by two-thirds and approved at theCouncil's Jan. 26 meeting. The group was formed last quarter by students in the Human ServicesProgram (HSP) an off-campus upper-division program offering experience in the human services field and a bachelor of arts from Western. The program is administered through the College of Ethnic Studies.The $950 will be used to improve communications a-inong HSP students, according to Sharon Morris, aspokesperson for the group's Seattle district. She said the group will rent office space in Seattle toserve as a communications center and will publish a newsletter. Western's liaison for the group,Hunter Nickell of the Viking Union Administration, said the students organized last October in reaction to a $52.50 diversion of their tuition. The money, which previously had gone directly into the program, was earmarked for services' and activities, Nickell said. He said the more than 300 students in the programare scattered in communities from Skagit Valley to Tacoma and can't benefit from campus facilitieshere. "Mainly, they want access to recreational and library facilities," Nickell said. "Part of the $2,900 request was for a retreat, away from the institutional setting, to accommodate their recreational and learning needs." The Council was "leery" of the retreat proposal, according to Nickell, because it was a new idea and the group's presentation was not "solid enough." He said the group would probably makeanother THE PICTURE SHOW Coming Next c 1 M U M oFTrie TaLl "BLOND MaN X TOW SriOe i lt;SJÂ±J676-1 226 A * ^ IN ObD FfllRHflVEN th$ M M $Â£$ toaft t And t Ear Piercing ' , 1 ' T\ 979-0282 BAY ST.VILLAGE! retreat proposal in the next fiscal year. Meanwhile, community colleges inthe HSP area will soon allow HSP students access to their recreational and library facilities, Nickellnoted. He said he is trying to negotiate a similar open-door policy with the University of Washington,since many of the HSP students and a majority of the human service organizations are based in Seattle. In addition to the budget approval, Nickell said Western is responding to the group's needs in otherareas. He said the students are notified of films relating to their work, which are available from theAudiovisual Center. The college also updates HSP students on the resources open to them in thehealth, financial aid and placement services. byDAVENEFF A national search will begin soon for a deanof the School of Education that was approved by Western's Board of Trustees Feb. 5, according to Loren Webb, acting vice president for academic affairs. Monday, Webb said he plans to appoint a screeningcommittee by next week to review applications expected to come into his office as a result of advertisingfor the position in national publications. At their February meeting the trustees, acting on Webb'srecommendation, appointed Arnold Gallegos as the school's acting dean. He was formerly associatedean of Teachers Education. Gallegos said "my plans are right now to apply" for the permanent deanposition. Gallegos said the school's dean is charged, among other things, with "joint recommendatorypurview with the deans of the other collegiate divisions" over personnel action affecting "all individuals at(Western) teaching courses for school personnel." The School of Education is the result of a rejectionlate last October of a proposed College of Education by Western's Academic Coordinating Committee(ACC). The rejected proposal included the department of education, the department of physicaleducation, and the separate speech pathology and audiology programs "as three departments in theCollege of Education," Gallegos said. Under the recommendations of an ACC conference committee,approved by the ACC Dec. 3 and endorsed by All-College Senate Dec. 11, a compromise School ofEducation was approved, according to Gallegos. "The department of education is the only total unitwithin the school," Gallegos said. "However, it includes all education faculty" at Western. Prior to theformation of the School of Education "the department of education didn't belong to any collegiate division" at Western, Gallegos said. Approximately 30 per cent of the undergraduates attending Western are in teacher education programs, according to Gallegos. Last quarter, according to Dean of GraduateSchool Alan Ross, 331, or 55 per cent of the 599 graduate students attending Western were involved inmaster of education degree programs. Webb said once the screening committee has a list ofcandidates for the dean position this spring, a final choice should be made by next fall.

Meeting â€” Bahai firesidediscussion, 7:30 p.m., VU 360 by ROY TANAKA The banner promoting Rebecca Valrejean's "LavenderTroubadour" play was stolen from in front of the Viking Union early Sunday morning, and three suspectshave been identified. The suspects fled after being spotted by Safety and Security personnel on routinepatrol but one was apprehended going across campus with the banner under his arm. The individualshave been referred to the Vice President for Student Affairs Office. R.G. Peterson, director of campussecurity, said his department has recommended judicial action be taken. Security will file a complaint ifother parties involved do not, Peterson said. Under school policy, the suspects' names are beingwithheld. Unless the plaintiff(s) desires otherwise, subsequent hearings will be closed. The banner isowned by the Program Commission and is being held by Security as evidence. Valrejean, who wrote and presented the one-woman play as part of the Gay Symposium, said the Gay People's Alliance does notwant the individuals prosecuted. Rather, they would like to have them work in the GPA office "for a couple of weeks, answering phones or running errands. We'll think of something." Valrejean can't imagine whysomeone would want to rip the sign down. "Maybe they were so angered by the 'trash' that thety feltcompelled to save the campus. Or they might have wanted to play a practical joke on someone byputting it on their window. I don't know," she said. Lee Thompson, VU reservationist, said the GPA hasbeen a constant target of vandalism. "It almost seems like someone is trying to get back at them forsomething. But rather than confront them face-to-face, they do things like rip down signs," Thompsonsaid. "The interesting thing is that one of our night custodians saw three people by the banner, earlier inthe evening. One guy was standing on the other guys' shoulders and he appeared to have a pair ofscissors or a knife. The custodian yelled at them and they split. Whether they were the same people ornot, I don't know," he said. According to the Security report, the banner was "old and torn." It has notbeen determined if the banner was damaged before or after the incident. "I really don't know what isgoing to happen to the banner," said Thompson. "Last year, a banner was stolen and run over with a car.It got caught on the axle or something and was destroyed. At this point, we don't know if the banner canbe used again or not." Jack Smith, associate director of the VU, said the Program Commission has other banners. Foundation helps support college In 1965, Western finally got a foundation. It's not the kind offoundation most people think of such as concrete under buildings to keep them from tumbling down.This foundation works in much the same way. It keeps Western from falling apart financially. The title ofthe organization is WWSC Foundation and its purpose is to "cultivate" donors for Western. MichaelBarnhart, interim director of the non-profit, nonpartisan organization, has held that position since lastNovember. He says the Foundation has to "cultivate" or find donors because "people are prone to give to a particular endeavor than to Western." Although Barnhart admits that the foundation is in thebeginning stages, he says he is hopeful. "I'm very positive about raising funds." Barnhart added,"Given time and understanding, people are very generous." Funds given to the WWSC Foundation goto scholastic activity such as student scholarships and library book purchases. All graduates ofWestern are sent material asking ..for donations. According to Barnhart, the foundation usually has togo out and get donations instead of waiting for people to come to the foundation. Barnhart said it is toeveryone's advantage to give to the WWSC Foundation because "today the income tax laws aredesigned to encourage giving to a non-profit organiz-tion." Barnhart is a busy man, as interim director ofthe WWSC Foundation and other college related jobs including being an executive assistant to thepresident and a legislative liaison. r Misc. for sale FOR SALE: Reflex Super 8 Capro 400 Pwr.

Western's offense began to click when guard Charmon Odle scored sixpoints in the opening minutes of the second half to put Western ahead by 13. Western led, 30-20, at thehalf. Alaska pulled within seven with 12 minutes to go in the game, but a Vikette team effort produced 14 unanswered points, boosting Western to its biggest lead, 59-37. FOILED AGAIN â€” Charmon Odleputs a commanding hand on the ball during a jump as Dee Dee Molner gets set to make the grab.Freshman center Keri Worley grabbed a game-high 20 rebounds but Vikette season scoring leader JoniSlagle was held to just 12 points while contributing seven rebounds. Slagle picked up her fourth foul with14 minutes left in the game and sat out most of the second half. Reserve guard Ricky Mass, who filledSlagle's spot, scored eight of her 12 points in the second half and grabbed seven rebounds. "All ofWestern's players scored pretty evenly I think," said Alaska's coach Diann Aldrich. "We planned to holdSlagle down by boxing her in and it worked to some degree." The Nanooks, on their first road trip of theseason, were led by guard Gina Howard and forward Dianne Kennedy. Howard pulled down 10 reboundsand scored 14 points while Kennedy put in 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Howard fouled outwith 15 seconds left on the clock. "We're a pretty young team this year and we didn't have a goodshooting night," Aldrich said of the team's 26.8 percentage. "Western is one of the better teams we'veplayed. They run the ball well." The Alaskans, who have played the University of Washington, Universityof Oregon and Pacific Lutheran at home this year, will return to the Northwest later this month to playPortland State. Western fast breaks more than most teams we've played. We let them get easy buckets because we didn't have enough people down to cover the person under the basket," Kennedy explained. Vikette coach Lynda Goodrich said she was pleased with the second half and felt Western's rebounding had improved a little since last weekend's games with Central and Portland State. The Vikettescancelled their appearance at the Oregon State tournament in Corvallis this weekend. Wolves fameVikings, 64-63 by MKE THOMPSON Who needs a coach to win a basketball game? Obviously not theOregon College of Education's (OCE) Wolves as they defeated Western's varsity, 64-63, Tuesdaynight at Monmouth. Wolves' coach Bob McCul-lough did not show up for the game because of a case ofthe flu, but an assistant, Greg McMackin, successfully assumed coaching duties. Behind most of the game, Western displayed a nice comeback going into a full court press while trailing 58-45 with fourminutes left to play. Several turnovers caused by the Vik press helped narrow the gap. Vik center RobVis-ser's score from 15 feet out brought Western within one point of the Wolves, 60-59, with 52 seconds remaining on the clock. The Wolves made their next four points on foul shots by Cliff Wegner. GuardBrad Fuhrer scored a lay-in before Wegner's last two free throws, to keep the Viks within a point.After Wegner's final two free throws Western put the ball in play with eight seconds remaining.Visser's shot was good at he Stimula Condom.

Both away games are crucial, not only for the championship, but also to insure an 18thconsecutive non-losing season for Western. The Vikings are 5-4 in conference action and 12-10 overall.Central suffered a 74-72 three overtime loss to conference leading Eastern Washington Tuesday night.Their 6-2 conference record places them in a tie for second place with Oregon Institute of Technology.Central's Wildcats are expecting a tight game with Western, according to Andy Kissling, sports editor forCentral's newspaper. The Wildcats have finished first in the Evco nine of the last 11 years, and won theNAIA District I title 10 out of the last 11 years. Following the weekend games Western will be on the road again when they take on Simon Fraser Tuesday night. the buzzer, but still a point shy of victory. Thiswas the third time in four years the Vikings lost to the Wolves by one point at Monmouth. One of thefew highlights for Western was Dave Wood's eight assists, which broke the season record of 170, set by Bob Nicol last year. Wood has 171 assists with four games left. Forward Greg Smith led Vik scorerswith 21 points and had 11 rebounds. Visser also had 11 rebounds and added 13 points. Wood andFuhrer each scored 12 points.

The apple pie was the 40th editionof the All-American Red Heads women's basketball team, a group of touring professional superstars who challenge men's teams across the country. The Red Heads' victims this time were the Super Studs, amake-shift team which included Sehome faculty, KPUG radio personalities, a member of the BellinghamPolice Department and Western's very own studs, Gary Gilmore, Bill Mendelson and Craig Nicholes. Inthe contest, sponsored by Sehome's freshman class, the Studs could not transfer their he-man nameinto winning baskets as they lost 81-61. The Red Heads in spirit are much the same as the HarlemGlobetrotters, with one basic exception â€” they must have red hair. Les Wrenn, the carrot toppers' 6-foot-4 coach, explained the background to the stipulation. "We want to project the image of the All-American girl, and red hair is characteristic of that," he said. But when asked if all the players were "true reds," Wrenn chuckled and said, "Well, all I can say is only their hairdresser knows for sure, but I'll talkto ANY ball players (about a spot on the team.)" Being a Red Head basketball player is more than justgoing out on a court in a striped red, white and blue uniform, performing entertaining antics and playing afun game. It is a long term, salaried job in which the gals are on the road for seven straight months, fromOctober to May. Though their wide smiles, outlined in fire engine red lipstick, don't show any fatigue, the team plays almost every night. They travel 60,000 miles through 40 states in one season â€” and that'seight people together in a 24-foot limousine. "But the girls wouldn't be here if they didn't enjoy it," Wrenndrawled in his North Carolina accent. "Six out of seven are recent college graduates from all over thecountry and probably just want to play ball for a while longer before raising a family or getting anotherjob." "Most girls write letters to our home office back in Arkansas asking for a tryout. Other players I find on the road during games and ask them if they would be interested in playing for us. "What we basicallylook for in a player is charm, personality, attitude, basketball ability and the ability to entertain a crowd."Wrenn said the Red Heads are engaged primarily in show business. "We play to entertain people," heexplained. "We play by the touring professional men's rules, which stipulate no zone defenses and nothree second count in the key. It makes it a much faster moving game." And how do the men react tothis? "Well, if the men realize the whole game is just a show and for fun and don't take it too seriously,then it's more fun for them, us and the crowds too," explained 5-foot-4 Marilyn "Ralph" Nelson, teamcomedienne. "But some guys really play all out. I remember we were at this big high school in Arizona,and I think we spent more time on the floor than standing up. The refs really thought it was funny."Ralph was the star of the show Monday night. When the mischievious, wide-eyed, freckle-faced guardwasn't crawling through someone's legs, she was on someone else's shoulder stuffing the ball. And yet,she still had time to score 20 points. But this wasn't enough to satisfy Wrenn. Even though the gamesare for fun, he still evaluates every game through his eyes as a basketball coach. "We had a very poorshooting night," he said scanning the scorebook after the game. "I really had to get on those girls a fewtimes tonight during time outs for their poor shooting." "Look at that . . . only 23 out of 40 shots," Wrennsaid disgustedly. "What is that, only about 54 per cent? Usually we shoot at least 75-80 per cent." "Weeven missed a lot of our specialized crowd pleaseis. What a poor shooting night," he repeated. "Maybelast night's lay-off was the problem." Whatever it was, despite their "fun" philosophy and their All-American goody-goody image, the world champion Red Heads aire still a basketball team and no doubtcaught hell from their coach that night.

A 7-6 edging of the University of Oregon (UO) here last Sundaybroke a 10-game losing streak for the Vik ruggers and let them taste victory for the first time since early October. By winning, the ruggers also earned a split on their two-game, four-day Oregon road trip.Oregon State University (OSU) walked all over Western 42-4 in a Friday meeting in Corvallis. In the UOmatch, the Viks had to come from behind to take the lead and then watch nervously as a Duckpenalty kick veered wide on the last play of the game. The Western second team dropped both of theircontests, losing 34-6 to OSU and 9-6 to Oregon. Don Daust took care of all the scoring for the Viks with a penalty kick, a tri and a conversion kick.

The Focusof Interest The new Nakamichi 500 Dual-Tracer was designed to be the most advanced two-headcassette deck ever made. From the standpoint of extended flat frequency response, noise, dynamicrange, wow flutter, and speed stability the Nakamichi 500 will outperform any other cassette recorderwith the exception of our own Tri-T racers. Nor is this surprising, for in creating the 500, Nakamichiengineers employed much of the advanced technology developed for the Tri-T racers. The tape transport,for example, uses a servo-controlled D.C. motor for rock-steady speed and features automatic end-off-tape shut-off with complete mechanical disengagement. But the real design triumph of the Nakamichi 500 is its Focused-Gap, a miracle of precision assembly. By critically maintaining a focused gap of 1.5microns, more signal can be put on the tape (particularly at high frequencies) with lower distortion. Andmaintaining this same critical width in playback, assures extended high frequency response to beyond17,000 Hz. A host of other features, such as Dolby NR circuitry, a three position tape selector and 45 dB peak level meters don't begin to tell the quality story of this extraordinary machine. For the best, you'llhave to listen and learn. Specifications â€¢ Wow Flutter: Less than 0.13% (DIN 45507 WTD Peak)â€¢ Frequency Response: 40-17,000 Hz + 3dB (EX tape) â€¢ S/N Ratio: Better than 58dB (Dolby In,Wrms CCITT 400 Hz 3% Distortion) â€¢ T.H.D.: Less than 2% (at 1 KHz, OdB) â€¢ Dimensions: 15(W) x 4-1/2"(H) x 10"(D) â€¢ Weight: 15-1/2 lbs.

The fines were imposed after aDepartment of Labor and Industries investigation revealed violations of asbestos handling during a floortile replacement project. Sanding the tiles released the encapsulated asbestos, a carcinogen, into the air. University officials filed to appeal the fines, but decided to pay after the first informal hearing withDLI on Dec. 1. "During the first meeting, only four of the violations had been addressed in a period ofthree hours," said Peter Harris, physical plant director. "Further efforts spent on contesting this Lowry,Barrett to speak on campus By J im Thomsen staff reporter Seventh District U.S. Rep. Mike Lowry, D-Renton, will discuss basic constitutional rights, the budget and other local and national issues withWestern students at 2 p.m. today in the Library Presentation Room. The lecture by Lowry, whocurrently polls ahead of 3rd District U.S. Rep. Don Bonker as the leading candidate for RepublicanDan Evans' seat in the U.S. Senate, follows an appearance by former B.C. Premier David Barrett, whowill discuss his views on the recently signed U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement at noon in Lecture Hall 2. The talk is sponsored by Western's Political Science Club. Lowry, who has garnered more attentionfor his freshly shorn countenance than his stands on current issues, is an outspoken opponent of theReagan administ r a t i o n ' s buildup of defense weaponry and subsequent cuts in domesticspending. He also is a proponent of the free trade agreement, which Barrett, whose talk is entitled"The U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement: A Bum Deal For All?" vehemently opposes. According to a press release, Barrett promises a " l i v e l y and probably controversial" discussion about the tradepact. His views mirror those of many Canadian citizens, who feel the eliminated tariffs and lowered tradebarriers between the two countries will dilute Canadian culture and open the door for U.S. dominationof its northern neighbor. Barrett's views differ from those of the Canadian big businessestablishment, which stands to gain access to American markets 10 times the size of their own andexpand their current investment, production, trade and technological bases. Barrett, who served as aHarvard Fellow last fall, was B.C.'s premier from 1969 to 1975 and later the province's financeminister. He went on to serve as the MLA (Member of the Legislature) for the Vancouver EastElectoral District until 1984. Shortly after his visit to Western, he will assume teaching duties atMontreal's McGill University for the winter semester. He said he will get back into politics and expects to be a candidate for national office in the 1988 Canadian Federal elections. Following the lecture, the first in Western's Artist and Lecture Series, Barrett will participate in a 3 p.m. faculty forum at CanadaHouse. Lowry also has been invited to participate. The forum is s p o n s o r e d by W e s t e r n 'sCanadian-American Studies Program. Last day to add/drop classes is Monday, Jan. 11 matter onlytap financial and scarce human resources for its safety and maintenance programs at the university."Harris said paying the fines does not mean university officials agree with all violations cited, particularlythe one which states Western did not "do everything reasonably necessary to protect the life and safetyof its employees." After DLI investigator Robert Parker told Western officials to close the gym janitorsperformed normal clean-up duties in the gym unprotected and uninformed. "That fine was $2,100, and in our view the Department of Labor and Industries personnel were as much in error as was the universityby not ensuring that the area was immediately closed, rather than posting the building closed the dayafter the department had reached the decision to Pete Kendall do so," Harris said. "At the informalconference with the DLI," he said, "university and DLI personnel acknowledged that both parties hadneglected to remember the custodial staff would ordinarily enter the building after regular closing hours to perform duties. "The university is firmly committed to compliance with as- See FINES on p. 4Dalrymple fills new role By David Kuester staff reporter Lowell Thacker, a Western senior studyinggeography and cartology, braved the winter chill yesterday by playing a game of hackey-sack with friends in Red Square. Curtis J. Dalrymple has been appointed to the position of acting executive director ofdevelopment for the Western Foundation. Dalrymple was appointed on a part-time interim basis byActing Western President Al Froderberg. He is filling the vacancy left when Jeanene DeLille was killed in a Nov. 4 plane crash. Dalrymple was serving as vice president to the Western Foundation at the time of the appointment. He also has served as the foundation's treasurer and was a member of its Boardof Directors. Dalrymple was a member of the university's Board of Trustees from 1978 to 1985, servingas chairman from 1980 to 1984. He graduated from Western in 1973 with an accounting degree beforebecoming involved with the Western Foundation, a nonprofit corporation independent of the universityaimed at supporting and assisting Western in soliciting contributions from the public toward universityadvancement. One recent acquisition was an argon ion laser for the physics and astronomydepartment's optics lab. The foundation sponsors fund-raising activities, such as the holiday bazaar that took place last month at the Old Main Registration Center. Profits from such sales go to scholarships and grants for students and faculty members. This month the foundation will host the Chili Cook-Off,which late President G. Robert F.oss began and made popular with his famous entries. Dalrymple isreplacing Ross as the chairman of the event. "The Chili Cook-Off will still go on, bigger and better thanbefore," Dalrymple said, "even though some of the main players won't be there anymore." ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢HHkHHCHl Dollar gripe box awaitsstudents Got a gripe about financial aid?

Bids in for cash machine By Erin Earles staff reporter Western's purchasing office currently isreceiving bids from banks for the proposed cash machine at Western, said Trent Wheatley,Associated Students secretary-treasurer. The cash machine, first proposed last fall, should beinstalled in the Viking Union sometime in February, Wheatley said after the AS Board meetingWednesday. A committee, which has been examining the acquisition of the cash machine, will meetJan. 12 to consider the bids submitted. Late fall quarter, after weeks of discussion, the AS reached anagreement with the university that the best place for the cash machine would be in the VU, that themachine would have a trial run of one year and that Plaza Cashier would receive half of the revenues from the machine, with the remainder going into the Housing and Dining fund. Plaza Cashier, funded by theu n i v e r s i t y , would lose an estimated $15,000 during the year to the cash machine and wouldreceive only several hundred dollars from the machine, Wheatley said. Wheatley added, however, that the profits from the machine would be in the form of student convenience and increased sales atcampus stores and eateries such as Plaza Pizza.

Campus coffee shops will provide papercups for three cents more than styrofoam cups in an effort to protect the environment. P a p e r cupscould replace styrofoam cups spring quarter if food service officials receive positive student reaction."Quite frankly, I would like to see a styrofoam-free campus," said Mark Freeman, manager of the VikingUnion eateries. Freeman joined with Associated Students board members Jeff Chandler and EricRichey to implement the change. Chandler said if the change is successful the AS Board couldsubmit a proposal to the Board of Trustees to ban styrofoam use on campus. "As a university, weshould set an example and stand against styrofoam," Chandler said. Organizers of the campaign saythe effort can help protect the ozone layer that protects the earth from cancer-causing ultraviolet light.Edward Neuzil, Western chemistry professor, said polystyrene is "fluffed up" by gasses to producestyrofoam. Polystyrene is released into the atmosphere during manufacturing, he said. Neuzil saidpolystyrene also may be leached out of styrofoam cups containing hot beverages. The polymers collectin the liver.

"Paraffin-coated paper cups present a much better solution," he said.Environmental Protection Agency figures show that a 1 percent drop in the ozone could cause 20,000additional skin cancer cases in the United States. The EPA predicts 800,000 people will die within the next generation because of ozone depletion. The University of Washington implemented a partial ban on styrofoam bowls, plates and glasses in dining halls early December. Chinaware dishes will replace most styrofoam ware in the dining halls. However, styrofoam cups, hamburger containers and diningware for "to go" food will remain in the UW dining halls. Evergreen Community College bannedstyrofoam cups from its campus last year. Freeman said it's the only campus in Washington that hasbanned all use of styrofoam. The ban, however, caused some inconvenience to students, Freeman said. Paper cups won't protect hands from hot coffee, tea or chocolate. "The problems are when people graba hot beverage in a paper cup. They are burning themselves, dropping the cup or putting it down in thecash lines," Freeman said. Campus coffee shops also would have to buy new cup dispensers for thedifferent-sized paper cups. "We'll have to find out what the problems are here," Freeman said. FoodServices Director Frank Diaz agreed to provide paper cups, at a price increase of three cents. Styrofoam cups will be offered at the regular price. "It's important for us not to make a decision for the wholecampus," Chandler said. "We'll let the consumer make the choice." 1210 E.

UniversityPolice Lt. Chuck Page said someone entered the building between 6 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. Sunday, stole several keys and drove off in the 1978 Ford pickup. Page said the university-owned vehicle wasnot in the best condition and added the suspects probably stole it for its hydraulic lift or to use it forspare parts. The truck had a university decal on both doors, he said. The vehicle was self-insured, which means the estimated $2,500 to $3,000 loss will have to come out of the AS budget, Jeff Chandler, AS vice president for internal affairs, said. Chandler said he believed the suspects may have been familiarwith the building because they were able to find the box where the keys were kept. He said theyprobably drove off in the first vehicle they came to that worked, and threw the rest of the keys in thegrass outside the building. Center coordinator Jim Madison discovered the truck missing when he came to work Sunday morning, Chandler said. He then called the police. Page said the police have checkedseveral areas where vehicles often turn up but have found nothing yet. They are still investigating theincident.

Andrea Lightburne FINES, from p. 1 bestos regulationsand to the safest possible working conditions for its employees," Harris said. "We recognize theuniversity's decision to pay as an admission to the charges that DLI filed against them," Bill Chervenock, union representative for 180 campus employees, said. "We had overwhelming evidence that we didn't need to bring out in the first meeting," Chervenock said. Chervenock said Western and union officials still are working out a grievance settlement for those employees who were exposed to asbestos andfor the union to have a voice in future policy. "At this stage the university has agreed to pay the fines.We have taken this as a conciliatory gesture," Joe Mackie, union representative for the grievancecommittee, said. "We are pleased that they have come around and are willing to sit down and drawup a new and effective asbestos abatement policy," Mackie said. "I'd be really surprised if the incidentsimilar to the one in Carver Gym would happen again." Harris said a new procedure has been drafted tobetter address asbestos management and is being reviewed by DLI and employee representatives. "The draft has been distributed and I will be taking comments until January 13," Dennis Smith, Westernsafety, en- .viromental and waste manager, said. Smith said he hoped to have the new policy completed by Jan. 15 and implemented no later than Jan. 22. "One aspect to be addressed is a means to ensurethat work stops when asbestos is discerned and appropriate follow-up measures are taken," Harris said.

The money came from federal, state and private sources for use in facultyand student research, equipment, workshops and other programs. Nearly $3.5 million was dished outby the state's Department of Social and Health Services, which awarded unassigned grants to Western.The money hadn't yet been allocated to specific departments. Faculty Research Geri Walker,assistant director at Western's Bureau for Faculty Research, said some of the unassigned grantmoney goes to help fund programs such as Western's Shannon Point Marine Center and for suchthings as interviewing skills workshops. Bill Clement of the bureau has received three grants from thestate's DSHS totaling more than $3.3 million. A $1.1 million grant from DSHS titled "CommunityServices Training 1987-89" will provide education materials, skills training and teaching to the state'schild protective services. DSHS looks to universities rather than to private agencies to train, educateand implement new p r o g r a m s , Clement said. "Universities are in the business to educate, so that's what we're doing." Huxley College Huxley College received more than $200,000 of the $4 million-plusamount.

Math The state's Superintendent ofPublic Instructor's office provided Western's math department with $25,974 to improve the level ofteaching in grades kindergarten through 12 in classrooms within a 50-mile radius of Bellingham. Themoney also pays for one teacher from each participating school to attend bi-weekly workshops atWestern, supplies and materials needed for the research, a monthly newsletter and a conferenceplanned next spring at Western involving hundreds of math teachers who work north of the Seattle area.The program involves one student who is an assistant for Jerry Johnson of Western's mathdepartment, who received the grant, and one student who is doing her student teaching in theprogram. Johnson said about half of the teachers participating are Western graduates. Geography Regional Planning Because Canada remains a close-neighbor country which most Americans know little about, Bob Monahan of Western's geography and regional planning department and Donald K.Alpert, of the political science department, applied for and received a $23,124 grant from theDepartment of Federal Affairs of Canada to better educate the public.

CALL 676-3161 ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 6 ---------- 6 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 Mackerel boasts unconventional news By Alison Major staff reporter Holy Mackerel, Batman, Fair-haven College is producing a publication for anyone to say anything they want. The newspaper, the Wholly Mackerel, is in its first year of publication and isgrowing in its variety of articles. "It's totally Fairhaven, and the structure of Fairhaven is such thateveryone is allowed to be themselves," contributer Connie Stone said. Founder Dan Keeganoriginally began publishing the Tuna News last year with hopes it would bring Fairhaven students andfaculty closer together, he said. Keegan said the Tuna News was intended to serve as acommunication network to get or give help on projects or to let people know about an event orexperience. Since last year the paper has changed its name to the Wholly Mackerel and incorporatedpoems, fiction and other non-news items through its inclusive policy that promises to publish allsubmitted items within legal mandates. To protect itself and the college, the paper does not printlibelous or pornographic material, Keegan said. Wholly Mackerel editors said the newsletter offers aservice most newspapers don't provide: guaranteed space for ideas. Letricia Flerchinger, who has beena staff member on The Western Front, said she likes the Wholly Mackerel because it eliminates editorial bias of information released to the public. "My experience on the Front is that they tell you what towrite GET YOUR FAVORITE DC COMICS AT: Comic Patrol in Aladdin's Lamp Antique Mall 1318 BaySt. Bellingham, WA 647-0066 open 7 days a week ^fc gt;1329 Railroad Xv^S 734-7825 V . Salad Bar Deli Sandwiches Seafood Chips Homemade Soup Broasted Chicken Return this ad and J receive afree small | Pepsi product of your j choice with purchase j of sandwich or daily special I about and whatgoes in," she said, adding the Wholly Mackerel doesn't restrict information to "one person's point ofview." Another feature in the Fairhaven publication unusual to most periodicals is it has nodecisionmaking board or person and does not correct grammar and spelling errors. Stone said this iswhat keeps, the publication running strong. "They can say what they want, and if cussing happens to be in their vocabulary, that's fine ... there are no restrictions, and you're allowed to do something where inother places you have to keep looking to find someplace that'll allow you to do it." Stone said last yearshe wrote The Front about something twice with no success of having her letters published. ButKeegan says the Wfiolly Mackerel makes one stipulation with submitted stories: stories exceedingthe space available will be cut. Usually the decision for what to take out of a story is made by the layoutcrew, he added. At least six people meet twice a week to discuss their individual material for theupcoming issue and help lay it out for printing. Anyone interested in participating-is welcome. Eachperson views his or her job differently because the paper serves individual purposes. Stone likes to tellpeople little-known facts and present the information in a humorous way. In the Oct. 19 issue she tellsthe story of why Yankee Doodle called the feather in his hat "macaroni" in the popular folk song. Shefound out macaroni was another word for "fashionable" in the days when the song was written. Typicalof Stone's column, "Facts Don't Do What You Want Them To," this information was expanded to a story where she has someone describing a hat as the "macaroniest." "My inspiration is anything that isfunny and real and shocking," she says, comparing her style to the syndicated columnist MikeMailway. Jackie VanderMolen designs graphics for the Wholly Mackerel for credit. She says not only isshe benefiting by getting two credits for her contributions, but the practice is helping build her skill.Sunny Day types up the handwritten stories, articles, poems, classifieds and other submissions. Shesays although nobody is assigned to cover a Fairhaven event, usually somebody will write about it forthe newspaper. The publication is available for free at the Fairhaven College Post Office.

Webster staff reporter At first glance, it may seem AlFroderberg does not enjoy being the president of Western. He admitted he never really wanted to sitbehind the president's oak desk. "Each day, I come into this office, light a cigarette and pause to thinkabout how I feel," Froderberg said. "I feel empty inside, as if my emotions have been drained from me." Froderberg has been appointed to serve as interim presi-dent of W e s t e r n u n t i l a permanentreplacement for the late G. Robert Ross is found. Ross and two Western vice presidents were killed in aplane crash last November. For most, the pain of the tragedy has faded. Froderberg, however, continues to grieve while he works to rebuild Western. "When I first heard the plane was missing, I lit a cigaretteand smoked it as I hoped the plane would be found," Froderberg said. "I must have smoked three packs that day." When he first learned of Ross' death, Froderberg said everything around him fell cold andsilent, almost as if he were about to fall asleep. Froderberg slouched in his chair and lowered hishead as he closed his eyes to pause in silence. Slowly, he raised his head and fixed his eyes on thewall across from his desk. "I could not walk, talk or move. I couldn't even feel. Then the silence gaveway to intense anger, frustration and confusion. I felt sorrow, especially for Ross' family. I felt likescreaming. Then I wept." Froderberg has since settled into his position as interim president and saidhis job will be to help rebuild the university and its administration. He admitted that will be difficult, butsaid he expects a new president to be named this spring. Froderberg has been at Western fornearly two decades. He came to Western from the University of Washington to teach-in themathematics department and also helped establish the computer science department. When he came to Western in the '60s, it was a time for expansion and growth for the university, Froderberg said.University students began to exercise their right to protest and began to speak out against socialinjustice and work for peace. "My students seemed to be more concerned about the Vietnam war and Martin Luther King than learning math," Froderberg said. "Some students even brought signs to classwith them." Today, students are more interested in themselves, Froderberg said. "Now I'll bet nostudent would march for Central America, at least not before he finished his homework." Froderbergsaid he enjoys mathematics and takes great Acting Western President Al Froderberg Pete Kendallpleasure in teaching students to solve problems. "Mathematics is at the root of everything, and itteaches us to reason in logical ways. That's a great help when one is trying to solve problems." Afterleaving the math department and moving into Old Main, Froderberg worked as a special assistant toRoss for state and legislative relations in Olympia. Froderberg stayed in Olympia when the legislaturewas in session to gain support for Western among the legislators. Froderberg worked with RossGreyhound. More places, more often. At the right price.

He helped gain the legislative support needed to build the newArt- Technology building and also worked to create one of the largest budgets that Western has had inseven years. "Of course there are always things that we do not get but would like to have," Froderbergsaid. "And I have come home disappointed many times, but I just keep on trying." Froderberg'sresponsibilities as interim president have prevented him from returning to the legislature this year. Anew legislative liaison has been appointed and has assumed Froderberg's duties in Olympia.Froderberg expects to return to his former position as soon as a new, permanent president hasbeen selected. "I want to be in Olympia this year, because I think we have a lot to do," he said.Froderberg said the two most important legislative goals for Western are to secure funding for a newscience building to replace Haggard Hall and to prepare a budget for the 1990-92 state budget. When he is not in the president's chair or lobbying on behalf of Western in the state legislature, Froderberg said he enjoys reading novels and math books. "My favorite novelist is William Faulkner, because he'sable to make me see all sides of a situation. His writing is very rich and expressive. It's startling that Ido read math books. I just love math. That's where it's really at." Froderberg said he sometimes staysafter hours in Old Main to read math books and solve math problems while he eats blackberry pieprepared by his wife, Mary. "Math and blackberry pie go together, because there's a step-by- stepprocess in making both of them. Everything has to be just right, or it doesn't work. I would rather not sitbehind Robert Ross' desk because I am reminded of how I got there, but a slice of blackberry pie and agood math book help to ease the pain." Welcome Back Western Students!

These changes are just the beginning, say supporters of the Outback. Community member Mike Melim recently submitted to Fair-haven Dean Dan Larner a land-use proposal designed to transform the five-acre organic gardening project southof the Fairhaven residence halls into an efficient and viable example of sustainable agriculture. Melim, aformer landscaper now in the construction business, has been involved with the Outback project forseven years. He donated the majority of labor and materials used to build a new O u t b a c k sign,stage and promenade area, the seed beds and the beginning of the new fence. He became involved with the farm, he said, "Because I walked past it one day and it said 'help me. The economic backbone ofthe proposal is an idea to renovate the existing barn into a produce stand and possibly a small coffeeshop with an organic salad bar. According to the plan, this would be the hub of all commercial activityand a source of hands-on experience for business-management and food-handling courses. DeniseAckert, an Outback student majoring in environmental studies, lives on the farm in one of the cabinsand is involved in the changes taking place. She sees the project as an opportunity to develop a schoolprogram in sustainable agriculture that could serve the community. Sustainable agriculture uses energy-efficient organic methods to provide a safe and stable source of food, not only for the present occupantsof the land, but for future generations. Evidence indicates that agriculture as it is practiced today maynot be sustainable ecologically because of the use of pesticides and fertilizers. "I really feel that partof the reason that we, as a society, are so freaked out is our lack of connection to the earth," shecontinued. The Outback could be a resource, a gathering place to bring the community together on ahuman level, producing food as well as having festivals and dances, she said. A major stumbling block to such goals is a lack of funding, Ackert said. The Outback needs a farm manager because students are too busy with school to Drganize projects, she added. The fact that the Outback Farm is designated asa parking lot on a master plan of the south campus is not an issue at this time and has nothing to dowith the lack of available funds, Ackert said. Acting manager for facilities Rick Benner said the parkinglot proposal is very long-range and would be implemented only if the university's population reached12,000 or more. Ackert said she may seek alternative funding sources such as federal grants ordonations from a non-profit organization called "Friends of the Outback." The proposal, whichdescribes the condition of the existing facilities, also includes ideas for an office in the barn, acommunity (pea-patch) garden, terraced beds on the farm's west hillside and a fire pit. Ackertcautioned that the ideas are tentative and will need some revision. " B u t , " she said, " i t ' s awonderful start in terms of, what do we have, what are we working with and where do we want to go?"Faces of AIDS': Pho By Alana Warner staff reporter Sixty pairs of life-like eyes gaze at you and seemto follow your every move. Most of these eyes, captured in photographs of the faces of people withAIDS, do not project a sense of despair, but rather a feeling of hope. The Viking Union Gallery exhibitof this portrait collection, entitled "Faces of AIDS," opens tonight with a reception from 1-9 and isscheduled to run until 26 in conjunction with A Awareness Week from Jan. 25 Californian photographerWigler, inspired when sever; his friends contracted the de disease, sought and received f ing for theproject from the New Chrysalis Gallery show mirrors artists' self-p By Terry Keenan staff reporter TheSecond Annual Self- Portrait Show opened last night in the Chrysalis Gallery in Fair-haven, featuringworks by art students, graduates and staff. "It is mixed media: paintings, drawings and clay. We haveone photograph and one piece of fabric art. It's a good composite show of how people view or portraythemselves. The art runs from very realistic to abstract," gallery manager Renee Hudak said. Westernart student Zena Nottingham submitted a self-portrait she did before the show was announced. She saidit was a spontaneous piece done from memory that took a few of hours to complete. Her abstractdrawing is harsh and stark, depicting a split personality with two different haircuts. "It is like a 4-year-old going berserk with pastels. It is an expressionisticly-done self-portrait. I haven't done anything loose, itisn't classicly drawn. There is no blending," Nottingham said. Traditionally, pastels are worked into the paper. Nottingham said she enjoyed doing the self-portrait more than anything else she has done. "It is a real visual piece and a concrete way to show how I feel about the stress I've been under."

Michael Villanueva, analyst for the San Francisco peninsula department, said theexhibit is an "educational and artistic piece that reminds us of the human dimension of the AIDS virus."The intent of the project is basically a health education project against AIDS," he said. "It's a way ofshowing people how devastating the disease is, making people who aren't around AIDS more aware. " I'm very happy with the response we've received so far," he continued. "I'd like to commend theuniversity (Western) for wanting the exhibit. It's strong support for the battle against AIDS." VU GalleryDirector Joice Denend read a review of the exhibit in The Oregonian and was intrigued by thepossibility of bringing the show to Bellingham. The handling fee of $500, however, was more than herbudget allowed. Denend said she consulted several other campus organizations she believed mightbe interested in supporting the exhibit, ultimately procuring the financial assistance of 12 of them.Different groups had different reasons for sponsoring the exhibit, Denend said. The Sex Information Office is interested in preventing the spread of AIDS through unsafe sex and will distribute condoms andinformational pamphlets at the VU Gallery. The Cross Cultural Center is aware AIDS can affect allcultures. The Drug Information Center is concerned with the intravenous contraction of AIDS, and theart department respects the exhibit as aesthetically pleasing work. Denend said she wasemotionally moved by the exhibit. "I feel really bad for these people because they have ideas andgoals just like everyone else does. They just happened to 'run across' this disease." Bryan Fujimoto,coordinator of the Sexual Minorities Center, shared a similar experience. "It was really powerful," hesaid. "The people in there were very near our age and generation, and some of them are dead." Thepeople in the portraits who have since died are denoted by black ribbons hung in the top right corner oftheir pictures. In addition, each photo is accompanied by a quote from the patient or, in the case ofsome of those who have died, a close acquaintance. The quotes are diverse, ranging from 57-year-old Daniel Witt's, "I look forward to each day, but I know better than to count on it," to David Pierce, 46,who said "The AIDS crisis has created the opportunity for uniting us instead of separating us; it alsohelps us to focus on the positive in life." Photographer Jim Wigler said, by telephone from California,that taking the actual portraits was difficult and depressing. "A lot of them came in wheelchairs and were very ill," he said. "It was very important to show just their faces on a neutral background. Iwanted to show that they were human and not diseased." People who get AIDS are not freaks or anumber, he said. Each face has its own story. "Society should not be afraid of people with AIDS - don'tuse" Victim,' it has a negative connotation. We are more dangerous to them than .they are us," hestressed. "We are carrying all sorts of germs and viruses that our immunity systems protect us from,but to them they can be deadly. "They're human beings caught up in a terrible tragedy. No one asks forAIDS. No one deserves AIDS." rceptions "It is very expressionistic. It took about one hour to do. Ilooked in the mirror mostly," he said. Sodt's piece was created in 1984 during fine art graduate studiesat Central Washington University. Ian Voorhees contributed 19 sketches on sketchbook paper thatdepict the artist at work. Each sketch details the same basic facial expresssion, yet each is subtlydifferent. Number 14 is simply labeled "I'm Done." Morgan Dicus offers a large self-portrait done in black, white and yellow. The combination of the colors and the extreme close-up nature of the work provesunflattering to the artist. The viewer becomes acutely aware of his or her own flaws while gazing at the artist's. Despite the discomfort, a friendly presence oozes from the drawing. The show runs through Jan. 28. Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Tuesday 6 to 9 p.m. ChrysalisGallery is located on the second floor of Fairhaven College. Gene loves Jezebel's latest effort lacksraw quality of pained howling, whining By Alana Warner staff reporter "The House of Dolls," Gene LovesJezebel's fourth piece of vinyl, does not hold up under the needle. Once upon a time, a pair of twinsnamed Mike and J. Aston fronted an obscure band from Wales called Gene Loves Jezebel. Their first two albums were available only in the import bin of the local record store. (Import discs are always the best,as they are often encased in that terrific, loose, crinkled cellophane and are devoid of those annoyingUPC bars.) Gene Loves Jezebel House of Dolls CEVItW Alternative music listeners' first exposure tothe band came after songs from its second album, "Immigrant," began gracing the airwaves. Thosewho bought the disk discovered a delectable blend of Welsh wails, indiscernible lyrics and creativemusical arrangements. Intrigued by the group's unique sound, record collectors sought out its firstrelease entitled "Promise." This album proved to be just as impressive as "Immigrant," possessing anunpolished, raw quality with even more pained howling. This is the stuff that big-haired, black-shroudednight creatures' dreams are made of â€” beautiful, androgynous men adorned with beads and brocade,whining unintelligibly about "skinny bodies" and rhinoplasty. Gene Loves Jezebel's third attempt,"Discover," spewed forth two singles with accompanying videos. "Heartache" and "Desire" combineddeliberate hooks with danceable beats, while maintaining the group's subtle, less-than-accessible musical image. An accompanying American tour enabled fans to get a closer glimpse of Mike and J.'s perpetualposing and pawing (if, of course, one could see over the person's tall and teased coiffure in front of her.) Attempting to please the public will put a group into an entirely new category - the unbands. Too normalfor the progressives, yet too progressive for the normals, the group will impress no one. The band'scurrent followers will become former fans, declaring, "I knew about them when they were good," or, "I used to like them." Some bands can make the transition with ease. A couple of years ago, no one had everheard of The Cure. Now Bob Smith's smeared lipstick and black hairbush adorn posters and (gasp!) evencalendars Sure, some hardcore devotees will be perturbed by this sudden rise in popularity, but thequality of The Cure's music hasn't been compromised. Once innovative and unique, Gene LovesJezebel's music has become hopelessly inundated with pop cliches and dull arrangements. Theirmixed voices are more controlled, and (heaven forbid) you can understand what they're singing. Where'sthe fun in that? "1 know what I want, and I know how to get it. So come on, baby, let's do it again," (fromthe current single "The Motion of Love"). "Oh, pretty baby, when I walk through the door, you'll bewondering what I did it for. Tell me, darlin', tell me please, why you miss me so badly," (from"Suspicion"). This is ostensibly obnoxious drivel posing as lyrical content. As for the album's musicalmerit, it registers an unthreatening zero on the Richter scale. The guitar hooks are pathetically predictable and uninspiring, as are the mundane drum pulses. It's all just a.little too precise and contrived. ---------- Western Front - 1988 January 8 - Page 10 ---------- 10 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, JANUARY 8,1988 Border Patrol questions CARA worker, seizes vehicleBy Jeff Keeling staff reporter A trip to the bus station to send three Guatemalan refugees to theCanadian border Nov. 23 took an unexpected turn for Shirley Osterhaus, Catholic Campus Ministerfrom Western's Shalom Center. Osterhaus, a leader of the Central American Refugee Association,expected to see the three off and drive home. She eventually saw them off, but she didn't drive home.After purchasing tickets for the trio and checking their baggage, Osterhaus said United States BorderPatrol officer Kevin Smith approached them all and asked them to go to his office for questioning. During questioning Smith reminded Osterhaus that she had been warned last year it was illegal to transportundocumented aliens, and told her the Border Patrol was seizing her car as an instrument of crime. iSay it up i FRONT \ Advertise with us! j ^676:3161J BARBRA STREISAND ,â€”, EVES ONLY j yCALL THEATER FOR SHQWTIMES NUT5 Walt Disney's "CINDERELLA" SAT/SUN MATS ONLY MT.BAKER 106 N.

I j j t b.'B-CSCO "They said they would notprosecute me at this point," Osterhaus said. "But he let me know that if they ever caught me again, they would,prosecute me and I would probably end up in jail." Osterhaus has taken the case to U.S. District Court, where a decision probably won't be made for at least a year. "Immigration gave me a copy of the law when I left which clearly says it's illegal to transport undocumented aliens in furtherance ofviolation of the law... and my claim is that we were not in furtherance of violation of the law, becausewe were not trying to further their illegal status here but rather to hand them over to immigrationauthorities to get legal documentation." Osterhaus said the Border Patrol processed the three, givingthem temporary legal status, during the questioning. That afternoon they were taken back to the busstation in her car so they could continue to Canada. From the Border Patrol's Blaine office, Sam Holden, U.S. Border Patrol Deputy Chief Patrol Agent, said statements Osterhaus made during questioningindicate the car had been used in violation of Section 274 of 18 USC 1324. "Any person who knows that a person is an alien and transports or moves them is in violation of this section of the law," Holden said. He said Smith thought, from speaking to the Guatemalans and Osterhaus, that her car had been usedin furtherance of a crime. Osterhaus said she was aiding the refugees because their chances of gettingamnesty are much greater in Canada than in the U.S. According to a General Accounting Office report,in 1986, 7 percent of Salvadorans and 1.6 percent of Guatemalans applying for political amnesty in theU.S. were accepted. For Soviets, this number was 76 percent, and for Nicaraguans it was 60 percent."Just because someone is coming from a nation where there's some strife," Holden said, "that doesn'tmean they can just come into the United States without documentation. That person carries theburden to present themselves as a refugee." Osterhaus cited the U.N. Geneva Convention and the 1980Refugee Act, both of which claim that refugees have a right to safety when they are fleeing their owncountry for reasons of persecution and war. "I believe that they are political refugees," she said."Sanctuary workers in the United States strongly believe they are political refugees after hearing theirstories, yet the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), supported by our government, says theyare economic refugees and so don't have a right to safety in this country and so ought to be deported."Holden said Border Patrol no longer is involved in the car's status, other than providing the court with arationale for the seizure if called upon to do so. "I know very clearly I am following the law of theU.N. Geneva convention, I am very much abiding by the 1980 Refugee Act, and along with that, as Isaid to the INS, I am following what I am strongly committed to as the law of Jesus," Osterhaus, aFranciscan Sister, said. "We're going to continue to do what we need to do to see that these refugeesget safety," she added. This may prove more difficult in the near future. Osterhaus said a law in theworks in Canadian Parliament would greatly increase the difficulty for refugees from these countries toreceive amnesty. "The work has continued," Osterhaus said, "and what I and the whole group feelreally good about is that the presence of these refugees has made a very definite positive impact on thiscommunity. "People who knew nothing about the situation in those countries have become aware of where these countries are and of what our own government is doing down there."

Seventy-five students are attending Western this year as adirect result of the annual $186,000 Western's Upward Bound receives from the U.S. Department ofEducation. The students were contacted by Bernie Thomas, director of the Upward Bound program atWestern, or his co-workers as early as the students' sophomore year in high school. A student mustcome from a low income family or be the first one in the family to attend college. High schoolcounselors, teachers, church groups and Upward Bound comprise a network that selects the students who would benefit most from the program. This network chooses Western's Upward Boundstudents from more than 2,000 qualified students north of Seattle. The yearly grants from the USDEprovide the necessary money to spend about $3,600 per year for each student. Tutoring, studying skillsand cultural enrichment are provided to Upward Bound students while they are still in high school.Upward Bound's goal is to - "provide needed motivation for students to complete high school, go tocollege and complete college," Thomas said. "We provide the students with a kick when they need it." Once in college, students in the program are provided with a helping hand to deal with stress andmaking the change of living on their own an easy one. Small group tutoring, help wfth learning disabilities and personal development classes are also provided to the student. "A lot of these programs werebuilt out of the civil rights era," Thomas said. "We work with individual students needs and provide forthem." Upward Bound students also go to "summer school" for six weeks every summer that they arein the program. Room and board is provided to the student, who lives for the six-week summer sessionin a residence hall at Western. In the afternoon, students may listen to a speaker talk about improvingone's interpersonal skills, and in the evening take a field t r i p to S e a t t l e for a Mariners' baseballgame. "The students get the feeling of college before school starts," Thomas said. "They experiencethat 'learning is fun' for the first time. "Friendship plays a large role in Upward Bound. The instructors are not here for the money...I can tell you that. They're here because they care," he said. "The money (from USDE) is just a physical tool. It's the network and care that provide the most to the program."PICTURE SHOw[ 1209 11TH 7 9 EVES 4:30 MAT. SAT. SUN. ENDS SOON!

Osterhaus said she anticipated buying them tickets to the U.S.-Canadian border wherethey could declare themselves political refugees. But a United States Border Patrol officer stopped thefour and seized the car for knowingly transporting undocumented aliens. U.S. immigration laws make ittough on some Central American refugees. Government agencies like the Immigration and NaturalizationService can be selective when deciding who it will classify as a political refugee. The trend, in fact, is toallow refugees fleeing socialist governments amnesty. They need it more; they're fleeing evil. Refugeesfleeing God-fearing democratic governments, on the other hand, which have the Reagan Brigade's seal ofapproval, don't find entry so accessible. Just look at the numbers. In 1986, 1.6 percent of Guatemalans and 7 percent of Sal-vadorans applying for political amnesty were allowed to stay in the United States,according to a General Accounting Office report. Guatemala and El Salvador, which both operate underdemocratic processes, have the Reagan Administration's support. Democrats don't torture people. Thesame report indicates that percentages were much .higher for refugees from socialist-ruled countries whowere granted amnesty. We allowed 76 percent of Soviets, 52 percent of Syrians and 60 percent ofNicaraguans to stay in 1986. Consequently, refugees from Guatemala head for Canada, which has muchmore slack immigration laws. Osterhaus has taken her case to the U.S. District Court. She may neversee the car again, but that isn't the point. Until the Reagan Administration opens its collective eyes andrealizes that it supports governments that maim and torture just like those nasty socialists, largenumbers of Guatemalans and Sal-vadorans will continue to sneak up 1-5, hoping to make it to Canada,where they'll have at least a fair chance to be granted political asylum. And Americans will continue toaid them. Madonna stands tall in ancestral home Â¥X7"ell, we've all seen her in her underwear. Now, wemight * * get to see her in bronze. It seems a sculptor wants to erect a statue of a woman namedMadonna in the town square of a central Italian town named Pacentro. Yup, Walter Pugni wants to sculpt a 13-foot-high likeness of the "Material Girl," and he picked Pacentro as it is the hometown of thesinger's grandparents. But the 2,000 townspeople aren't too thrilled with the idea of a giant, and nearlynude, figure of the particular Madonna the artist has envisioned. _ Perhaps he simply got his Madonnasmixed up. Hey, Walter, don't you think the town might be more appreciative of Joseph's wife instead ofSean's woman? Go ask the Pope.

Furthermore, past confrontations and breakdowns in nucleararms talks between the two nations give the INF treaty the appearance of being a "landmark" inarms control. This pact, however, is really nothing mofe than an "inevitable conciliation," best describedas a publicity prize that world leaders Reagan and Gorbachev could return to their political parties with.Inevitably, citizens in both nations hoped for much more during the summit than the INF pact, Douglas Buell News Editor which would call for the removal of all intermediate-range nuclear missiles. Over thenext three years, the superpowers will be required to scrap about 2,700 missiles with rangesbetween 315 and 3,125 miles, roughly 4 percent of the total number of all missiles. This token ofcooperation between the two nations has been given so much significance, though, that itovershadows other issues which received little discussion and analysis during the summit, including SDI, Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf, Nicaragua and conventional forces in Europe. The ReaganAdministration, still healing from its wounds following the Iran-Contra scandal and failure to seat twojudges nominated to the Supreme Court, had little leverage in reaching an agreement with the Soviets.Gorbachev faces the same scrutiny at home for his programs of glasnost (openness) and perestroika(restructuring). The INF treaty still needs ratification, both by the U.S. Senate and the Soviet Politburo,scheduled later this month. While Reagan has publically stated that it is a near certainty the senate willratify the pact, other conservatives led by Rep. Jack Kemp of New York, a Republican presidentialhopeful, said yesterday they plan to present allegations that the Soviets were violating the treaty "even before the ink was dry," according to The Washington Post.
