Financial aid denial prompts petition By Levi Pulkkinen THE WESTERN FRONT The recently recognized, Drug Policy Reform Organization presented the Associated Students board with a resolution designed to prevent the denial of federal financial aid to students convicted of any drug- related crime. The DPRO, a Western student organization, gathered more By Bronlea Hawkins THE WESTERN FRONT Bellingham natives Dean and Dudley Evenson presented a three-hour lecture on Tibetan culture Wednesday to a packed crowd in Fraser Hall. The two showed more than an hour of slides and video documenting their 1994 trip to Tibet, the people they met, the places they went and the culture they experienced. "Going to Tibet was like going back in time," Dean said. "It's interesting when you see the buildings," Dudley said. "They just seem to rise up out of the dust." They said they hoped the tapes they recorded on their trip would capture not only people and places, but the expression of Tibetan music. "We found music in the most unusual places," Dudley said. She said they encountered children singing in the streets to earn their lunches and yak herders singing to their animals to keep them moving. The most profound music they said they experienced and recorded was the chants of Tibetan monks. Additionally, the Evensons recorded and set to music the "Green Tara Chant" by the Dalai Lama. As a musician, Dean said the trip to Tibet had a definite impact on the music he composes and plays. "It gave me a depth I hadn't had and opened me up to musical space," Dean said. "It's a transference of energy on another level than the notes." In the last hour of their presentation, the Evensons showed a music video that compiled a song from one of their albums, "Ascension," with photos and footage they shot during their trip to Tibet. At the end of their presentation, they led the audience through two mantras. Mantras, Dudley said, are "whatever we can do to support clearing our minds." The first they taught was a See LECTURE, page 3 Panel criticizes lack of diversity Tyree Callahan than 300 signatures to petition the A.S. board into action against the new provision.

Author explores Chinese, Taiwanese tensions Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Author and Taiwan- China relations expert, Andrew Yang, talks about tensions By Grant Brissey THE WESTERN FRONT .- _â€¢. To Andrew Yang, the means to a stable economic and environmental relationship between China and Taiwan means overlapping interests and an increased investment in the education of Taiwanese and Chinese children. Yang, author and expert on relations between Taiwan and the People's Republic of China, spoke Thursday on the rising tensions between the two nations. Yang was the first speaker of Western's Environmental Politics in Asia lecture series, which will become an annual event. "China is a big-communist country," Yang said. "Taiwan is a small democracy ^- this creates a problem. (Taiwan) is facing a very opposite ideology in mainland China." Yang said Taiwanese are concerned about the prevalence of nationalist sentiment and the corruption in China's government, but that Taiwan's democratic government is interested in pursuing a peaceful coexistence with the Beijing regime. Due to increased tensions between the two governments, international concern emerged about the continued stability of the Taiwan Strait, the 150 kilometer- wide channel between Taiwan and China; Yang said. In 1995 and 1996, Chinese surface- to-air missiles landed in waters offshore of Taiwan, prompting the deployment of two U.S. Navy battleships to the area. Despite escalated tensions, Yang said he believes the political disagreement between China and Taiwan can be solved peacefully. Yang said the way to foster cooperation is by realizing China and Taiwan have many overlap-ping interests. See YANG, page 4 By Jessica Keller THE WESTERN FRONT Addressing people's differences and experiences was the major theme at the "Diversity Phobia" forum Thursday in the Viking Union Main Lounge. Panelists discussed their experiences at Western and the problems they encounter involving diversity and possible solutions to those problems to help diversify Western. " T h e fortutti" began 20 minutes late because a ramp to the stage was not made available to accommodate professor and panelist Bonnie Barthold's physical disability- She said after working at Western for 20 years, it still hasn't made the campus fully accessible to her disabilities or other's disabilities. "Diversity includes people with physical disabilities and other disabilities ... that need to be addressed," Barthold said. Panelists also saw curriculum as a problem at Western.

The Seattle-King County Health Department said an increase in the number of people admitted to treatment programs may be helping. The department also reported that cocaine use is on the rise after several years of decline. Methamphetamine and marijuana use in Seattle-King County remained about the same. NATIONAL NEWS Bush focuses on healthcare issues Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush said he wants to make long-term health care affordable, instead of "a path to financial ruin." He told residents of the Ridgecrest Village Senior Center in Davenport, Iowa, that he wants tax incentives for the elderly to buy insurance and more help for people who care for the elderly at home. The plans carry a price tag of around $7.5 billion. Bush's speech marks a move into traditionally democratic themes of social welfare. Democratic rival Al Gore is also hitting the same themes. He supports a plan to give families caring for disabled relatives a $1,000 tax credit. Michigan man wins share of jackpot A man called Michigan lottery officials to say he had one of the two winning tickets from the May 9 Big Game drawing. Officials said they're pretty sure he's telling the truth. They said he read off the validation numbers from his ticket â€” and they were the right ones. A lottery spokeswoman said fthe man was "remarkably quite calm" for someone who just won half of a $366 million jackpot. He didn't give any information about himself. The other ticket was sold in Illinois at a gas station in suburban Chicago. Nothing's been heard yet from that winner. It's now Microsoft's turn The software giant Wednesday presented a federal judge with a formal, written response to the government's plan to split the company in two.. 'â€¢â€¢"â€¢ gt;Â»â€¢â€¢'â€¢ Microsoft spokesman Mark Murray said the company's response will include objections to the plan as well as remedies to business practices the judge ruled were in violation of antitrust laws. Also, Microsoft will ask the judge for more time to gather evidence against the government's breakup proposal. One legal expert noted the Microsoft proposals put the company in the awkward position of suggesting its own punishment, even as it continues an appeal. However, George Washington University law professor William Kovacic said that's still smart. He said it demonstrates the company is not arrogant or unwilling to respond to the judge's ruling. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Olympic torch lit for Sydney summer games The Olympic torch that will burn in Sydney was lit in a ceremony at the ancient birthplace of the games. An actress playing a high priestess carried the flame in an urn through the ruins of ancient Olympia May 9. After a 10-day tour of Greece, the flame will be turned over to Sydney Olympic organizers. The torch will then embark on the longest relay in Olympic history â€” more than 16,000 miles. Plans for the journey include underwater travel. A scuba diver will carry the torch through the Great Barrier Reef. It will remain lit using a special underwater-burning fuel. Students' work could have led to Love Bug virus A computer college in the Philippines said it may have been the incubator for the Love Bug virus. School officials said two students wrote software programs that may have been combined to make the virus, which wreaked havoc last week with computers around the world. One of the programs was able to make multiple copies of computer files. The other was able to steal passwords. The creator of one of the programs, Onel de Guzman, lived in the same apartment as a bank employee who was arrested Monday as a suspect in the cyber attack. That man. was released for lack of evidence. The bank employee's relatives said they suspect de Guzman is responsible. A high-ranking law enforcement official acknowledged today that the bank employee may have been "a fall guy," but he said it's too soon for officials to clear him.

The issue Callahan spoke of is a change in the Higher Education Act of 1965, the act facilitating federal financial aid, that demands the immediate suspension of financial aid to anyone convicted of a drug-related crime. The change also makes students already convicted ineligible for one year following their first arrest, effective July 1. The provision, section 483 subsection "F' of the HEA, states any student who "has been convicted of any offense under any federal or state law involving the possession or sale of a controlled substance shall not receive any grant, loan or work assistance under this title." "I know it would impact the students," AS. President Victor Cox said. "I personally hope we can make a difference and take this out of the Higher Education Act." If ratified, the resolution the DPRO proposes wouldn't have any legal value, it would only be a show of support for Rep. Barney Frank's, D-Mass., bill to repeal subsection "F". "This act goes above the university," Cox said. Cox said he believes a "grassroots" political effort may be successful in nullifying the provision. "We are successful every year with legislation in Olympia," Cox said. "Baby steps are what we are taking now." "Students who are interested in repealing the Higher Education Act drug provision should contact not only the A.S. board members but also contact their elected offi- 'I definitely see this as being a threat to minority groups. I think we already have problems with diversity in our higher academic institutions.' Kevin Feeney DPRO co-founder rials in Congress, too," Callahan said. DPRO co-founder Kevin Feeney said he sees the provision as unethical and an unequal way of limiting funds to certain segments of the student body. "It is basically implementing a law that some people have to abide by and others don't," Feeney said. "It's going to be the poorer or middle-class students who will be targeted." Students who would have the most difficulty fighting a drug charge are the ones most likely to be on financial aid, Feeney said. "It just keeps perpetuating our cycle of inequality," Cox said. Feeney said minority advocacy groups at Western are also vocal in their disdain for the provision. "I definitely see this as being a threat to minority groups," Feeney said. "I think we already have problems with diversity in our higher academic institutions." Feeney said because of police profiling and economic disadvantage, minority groups are more likely to be convicted of drug crimes and will be disproportionately affected by the restriction. "Racial profiling is something that exists in our society, unfortunately," Cox said. If the DPRO's efforts fail and subsection F takes effect, Callahan said his organization is looking at alternative solutions; "One option we are looking into is getting the Financial Aid Office to create a fund to help students who get convicted," Callahan said. The organization is also looking for ways to reform drug policies at Western and in Whatcom County. The A.S. board will enact the resolution on May 17.

Dean said he and his wife met the Dalai Lama five times at Buddhist and Tibetan culture workshops in Arizona, Indiana and India, where the exiled Tibetan government is located. Dudley said she and her husband are amazed at the Dalai Lama's "incredible spiritual energy." The two said they also are fascinated by the Dalai Lama's almost constant sense of humor. "I've seen him a couple of times and he always grabs my beard," Dean said. The lecture was the first event in the "Mystical Arts of Tibet" program capping Western's centennial celebration. Beginning May 16, Tibetan monks of the Drepung Loseling Monastery will construct a mandala sand design in the Western Gallery.

BELLEVGHAM, 738-0275 ---------- Western Front 2000-05-12 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ The Western Front News May 12, 2000 Curriculum not addressing diversity From FORUM, page 1 felt. the curriculum did not address enough diversity issues. Panelist and student Kim Morrison said the curriculum does not incorporate issues concerning different backgrounds. "My experience isn't being addressed ... race, class and gender issues are not covered in most classes," Morrison said. Professor and panelist Tim Allen said students could get involved in diversifying the curriculum by joining the Academic Coordinating Commission. Panelist and student Cora Hill said she has heard derogatory comments made in the classroom by students, and professors have not reprimanded them. "Quality education means having the opportunity to express opinions without derogatory comments being returned," Hill said. Lack of diversity in classes tied in other panelists opinions about diversity on campus. Professor and panelist Larry Estrada said people of different backgrounds, especially racial minorities, coming to Bellingham and Western need to seek out communities because both lack ready communities for them. "I think we need to, as a university, do more to invite people in," Estrada said. Barthold said she was both happy and sad her biracial daughters decided not to attend Western. She said she is happy her daughters would not be isolated at Western because of the lack of community, but she is sad isolation exists for students. "Fm sad that this cycle of isolation hasn't been broken," Barthold said. Breaking the isolation cycle was one of the reasons sophomore Matt Jennings, 20, said he came to the forum. "Fm not always open to meeting people of color sometimes, and I wanted to know what I could do to change that," Jennings said. Jennings said he is taking a lifestyle adviser class and he saw a presentation in class about being an ally to people of different backgrounds; he said he wanted to learn more. Bruno Cross, next year's Associated Students vice president for Diversity said the forum went well. "It was an opportunity to voice and share ideas and just to have an arena where people can feel safe to express their opinions and emotions," Cross said. Cross said panelists were thoughtful and emotional at times, which contributed to the forum. "It was good for the intent (of the forum), and the intent was to open eyes and create enthusiasm," Cross said. Freshman Laramie Smith, 18, said the issue was a positive experience for her. "I got some more energy and drive to bring about change," Smith said. Illegal immigration, nuclear waste similar concerns of China, Taiwan From YANG, page 1 China and Taiwan have similar interests dealing with environmental issues, such as air pollution caused by sandstorms in inner-Mongolia, regulation of fishing in the Taiwan Strait, and prevention of alien diseases, which spread as a result of illegal trading of agricultural products. Illegal immigration is also a problem facing the two countries. Yang said the number of illegal aliens attempting to immigrate from China to Taiwan has increased substantially since the early 1990s. Last year alone approximately 25,000 Chinese were deported from Taiwan. The two governments also share concern over the disposal of nuclear waste, Yang said Taiwan maintains three operating nuclear power plants, and is constructing a fourth. "We (Taiwan) don't have anywhere to store our nuclear waste," Yang said. Taiwan negotiated with China to store the waste in China's Gobi Desert, but due to increased tensions in the mid-1990s, they broke down, Yang added. "Very few people understand what is really going on in the Taiwan Strait," Yang said. "The children are the key to future stability (in the Taiwan Strait area). Gradually, more people will understand the situation through outside education." Yang said he believes the two governments should work toward a equally beneficial relationship. "Both sides depend on peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait," Yang said. "I think we still have a lot of opportunity to give to each other." |^i^Mp|Ji|l|W|Si||||i^ I^HIHISBiBiifflliBfiSHi iH^H^flMSIftiiiiPiiiiSiiHi i^iipB|l^|B|JKI^ii|^||B^i|Hi||H|BHjS||i|i|i^l Daniel J.

By Kasey Anderson THE WESTERN FRONT If you expected to hear words like "nookie," "bawitdaba," or anything with the prefix '"n" a t Friday night's Pete Droge concert, you would have been sorely disappointed. Luckily, those in attendance did not expect any rock-rap chauvinism or boy band gimmicks. The crowd expected, and received, well-crafted songs built around heart-felt lyrics and acoustic guitar. The intimate Fairhaven auditorium setting provided Droge and guest Elaine Summers an arena to strip their songs to the very roots â€” just vocals and guitar. Both artists' songs lend themselves to this sort of setting, and it was evident as Droge and Summers turned in spectacular, personal performances. Droge opened the show by himself, beginning the evening with three songs from his album "Spacey and Shakin'." "Spacey and Shakin'" is Droge's most diverse album, with most of the tracks built around bass and drums. . In the solo, acoustic setting, the songs were stripped bare , and rockers like "Evan's Radio" became softer and almost melancholy. "I love doing it and nothing's going to change that," Droge said of making music. That love was evident in every beautifully crafted song he performed, especially the touching ballad "Blindly," which Droge followed with a new song he quipped could have been titled "Blindly Part 2." While Droge was excellent by himself, the presence of longtime friend and frequent band mate Summers seemed to 'It's great to work with somebody you can totally trust.' Elaine Summers Performed with Droge inspire him all the more. "It's great to work with somebody you can totally trust," Summers said of performing and recording with Droge, who produced her debut album "Transplanting" and is at work on her follow-up album, due out sometime this year. Droge and Summers seemed completely at ease sharing the stage, trading quips and stories while treating the audience to incredible renditions of Droge's "Northern Bound Train" and "Fourth of July," among others. Droge and Summers will appear together in an untitled Cameron Crowe ("Jerry Maguire," "Say Anything") film, portraying Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. They performed the song "Small Time Blues," which will be featured in the film. Summers sang lead vocals on four songs, two of which made their public debut. She also sang lead on "Real Low Down," her self-described "big hit in about two places." The duo finished the evening with Droge's "If you don't Love Me (I'll Kill Myself}," which he joked "went all the way to number 119 on the charts." The fact that both performers seemed lighthearted about their current status as "pop icons" tells exactly how they approach the business and performing. Neither Droge nor Summers is preoccupied by superstar status or prestige. They make music because it is what they love to do. "Every step in this business is a gamble," Droge said in a recent interview with The Oregonian. "The one thing we have control over is what we do artistically." With songs like these, and if Droge keeps gambling, he is destined to win.

The first half hour of the show served as a preview of Pearl Jam's upcoming album "Binaural," which will be released May 16. The first seven songs, including the incredible "Of the Girl," which opened the show, will appear on the highly-anticipated album. Fast- paced rockers like "Breakerfall" and "Grievance" contrasted with slower songs like "Nothing As It Seems" and "Thin Air," to showcase the diversity of "Binaural." "Well, that's all of the new songs," commented Ed Vedder, Pearl Jam's lead singer, leading into a rousing rendition of "Do the Evolution" from the band's fifth album, "Yield." The band seemed in high spirits, with : Vedder unusually chatty, ^commenting that the - theater' was" probably the "nicest practice place we've ever had." The amount of rehearsal time was evident. The band sounded tight, and the small venue lent itself to a wonderful sound mix. The set pulled mainly from the band's last three albums. The songs "Black," "Go" and "Daughter" (the latter included a few lines from the Tom Waits song, "Hold On," at the end) were the only selections from the band's first two albums, Chris Goodenow/Special to the Front Katherine Wilson held the coveted position of first in line Wednesday as eager fans waited to see Pearl Jam at the Mount Baker Theatre. The concert was a warm-up for the band's show in Vancouver, British Columbia's Commodore Ballroom. No press photography was allowed during the concert. "Ten" and "Vs." It seemed as though everyone in attendance was familiar with the entire Pearl Jam catalogue, which allowed the band to be - jmore liberal with song select i o n s , leading to a few rarely played songs like the B-side "Dead Man" and "Red Mosquito," from the album "No Code," and the bluesy, swirling "Immortality." After a brief encore break, the band returned, buoyed by a deafening roar from those in attendance. "Corduroy" ended in an extended jam session, allowing for an incredible solo from lead guitarist Mike McCready.. "Insignificance;? a. hew song: played l a t e in. the set, was prefaced by Vedder commenting that they had played "basically all of the new album, so, if you're taping, you- can sell it tomorrow for ... free!" Pearl Jam is one of few bands that "iiot' only allows, but encourages fans: to tape and trade concerts among themselves: . .'â€¢â€¢"-.;" ' . .' After- a second- encore break, Vedder returned solo, toting a. ukulele, and performed "Soon Forget," from "Binaural," which he quipped was the "greatest song written in the history of the annals ;of rock." The rest of the band then returned for "Yellow Ledbetter," which closed the show. The song is a^fan favorite and featured another incredible solo from McCready. Music publications and deejays at radio stations have commented in the past few years that the "grunge" scene Pearl Jam emerged from is dead. That's true. Grunge, if it ever existed to begin with, is dead. That doesn't matter. Pearl Jam was never a grunge band. It was, and is, a rock and roll band, and they do it better than anyone else, which they proved again Wednesday night.

"(The Hui 'O Hawai'i club) wants to share Hawaiian culturl* and have people learn about Hawaiian culture," said Daralyn Young, Hui 'O Hawai'i club member and Western senior. "We want people to have fun and enjoy 'ohana." The Kapalapiko Hawaiiflijfc Band from San Francisco provided music during the luau.

Once again it was the audience's t u rn to t ry its best at dancing. More than 20 audience members took the stage to attempt the Tahitian dancing. They tried their best and gave the rest of the audience a good laugh, if nothing else. The evening came to a close as the audience and performers joined hands in the spirit of 'ohana and sang "Hawai'i Aloha." The audience took food and flowers as the gym began to empty out. "It made me ready for summer," Barton said. She said a luau makes her think of summer and enjoying the sun. Perhaps the audience took more than the decorations home with them as they walked out of the temporary Hawaii and back to the world beyond the gym doors. "It was nice seeing that all of our hard work turned out," Young said. "It seemed like everyone enjoyed it." Each audience member received a hand-made lei of construction paper flowers and pieces of straw. The Hui 'O Hawai'i club made the leis with the help of the Ethnic Student Center.

By Sara Ballenger THE WESTERN FRONT A stark coffin sits and a lone candle burns brightly as three monumental square pillars of soft pink light add an eerie glow. The stage is set, as Western's May Centennial Celebration begins with the theatre arts department presentation of "Angels in America Part One: Millennium Approaches." Playwright Tony Kushner transports the audience back to the year 1985, with his Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award-winning. play, which made. its debut Wednesday and will run at 7:30 p.m. through Saturday at the Performing Arts Center Mainstage. A matinee performance is at 2 p.m. Sunday. "Angels in America is about sex, politics, religion and faith â€” it is also about a group of people trying to make sense of the world that has no answers," said director James Lortz, assistant professor of theatre arts at Western. '"Angels' switches between reality and fantasy in its search for a spiritual core, confronting every notion of living and dying." The three-and-a-half-hour production is the first part in a larger play, and tells the story from the private struggles and lives of its characters. Roy Cohn (Nathan Graham Smith), a New York lawyer and conservative ideologue, strives to maintain and gain power while staring AIDS and death in the face. Joseph Porter Pitt (Zayce Kruse), a judges' clerk in the federal court of appeals, struggles to maintain his Mormon ideals while trying to hold on to his ambitions and miserable marriage. Joseph's wife, Harper Amaty Pitt (Sarah Petty), escapes her lonely world and unhappy marriage, seeking refuge in her Valium-induced hallucinations. Prior Walter (Jon Lutyens) confronts his own mortality through his advanced stages of AIDS, and knowing that his lover Louis Ironson (Robbie Hankins) will leave him. Louis struggles with this and ultimately leaves Prior. "It is about the weaving of fictional and historical figures 'into a web of social, political and sexual revelations.' "It is about confronting a new millennium in a society that cares less and less about human life and basic decency," Lortz said. "It is about the American dream, a search for understanding." The set, designed by Roger Germain, is simple but powerful. Three lighted square monoliths dominate the stark set. Prior's bed, the Pitt's armchair, Roy's desk and the occasional restaurant table are all that you see, and really is all that is needed. . Costumes, designed by Meredith Hayes Towne, are also simple and fit the time. The simplistic nature of the set and the costumes fits well with the complexity of the play. The theatre department presents the second part, â€¢ titled "Perestroika," in the fall. Audiences are cautioned that the performance includes mature themes, language, sexual situations and nudity. Tickets can be purchased for $6 at the Performing Arts Center Box Office from noon to 4 p.m. Monday and noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. ---------- Western Front 2000-05-12 - Page 8 ---------- May 12, 2000 SPORTS NCAA II Intramural The Western Front â€¢ 8 Western golfer headed to national tournament Sophomore Becky Barton awarded NCAA Division II Championship berth By Levi Pulkkinen THE WESTERN FRONT Western sophomore Rebecca Barton was invited to compete in the NCAA Division II National Women's Golf Championship May 16 through at the Texas Star Golf Club in Euless, Texas. "It's a little surprising," Barton said. Reflecting on this season, Barton said she was displeased with her own performance. Though Barton won the Western Invitational for the second time, she said she felt her golfing was a little under par. "Personally, it was kind of disappointing," Barton said. She said the season started well for her, but began to fade to mediocrity as the end approached. "None of us played as well as we could have," Barton said. Coach Noreen Chrysler said Barton's game was not flawless, but she is still a very talented golfer. "She is mentally disciplined, she is physically capable and Janis Lee/The Western Front Becky Barton putts during her victory at the Western Invitational. She has won the tournament the past two years. she has the drive to have a real competitive edge," Chrysler said. "I'm very happy for Becky because she has worked very hard to make this happen." With Western's team and in high school, Barton has gone up against some of the stiffest competition in the region. "Tournaments aren't really anything new to me," Barton said. "I am trying not to get too nervous, trying to just act like it's just another tournament." This will be Barton's first time competing at the national tournament. She said she has mixed feelings about going alone. "I wish the whole team could go, or at least one other person," Barton said. Barton is confident in her own skill, though, and said golfing as an individual is nothing new to her. "In the past it was an individual thing," Barton said. "But last year and this year I never thought about me." Apparently the NCAA did think about Barton this year, using a complicated judging system, based on her scores throughout the season. At season's end Barton's scoring average is 85.5, up from her average of 85.2 last season. Chrysler said she is optimistic about next season, and believes Barton will have her teammates' company at next year's tournament. "The team has gone twice before," Chrysler said. "I think next year it would be a lot more likely that we would go to nationals." An excellent work ethic and a will to excel helped Barton along the way, but she also looks to Chrysler for guidance. "I hoping for next year to have more time to work with her," Barton said about Chrysler. Angela Smith/The Western Front Barton practices for the national tournament.

Riders kick off Hannegan motocross season By Craig Yantis THE WESTERN FRONT Motocross racers from all over the state threw a leg over their bikes and fired up their engines in the first weekend race of the season Sunday at Hannegan Speedway. The Mount Baker Motorcycle Club, which sponsored the race, has battled mud early this season â€” the first two scheduled Thursday night races and a Sunday practice were canceled because rain soaked the track. Bulldozers scraped thick mud off" the mile-and-a-half long track in the morning, preparing the surface for the 255 riders who attended round six of the Goldstar Series. Racers on their motorcycles pounded through whoops â€” a washboard-like section of track â€” and soared over jumps while battling for the lead. Snohomish resident Travis Gage, who races the 125cc pro class, said the dirt was soft in places in the morning but the track held up, turning to hard-pack as the day went on. Gage, who has raced for eight years, rode two motos against six other professionals in Sunday's event. Brian Downing, a rider from Ferndale, won both motos and the overall title. Gage, finishing fifth in the first moto and fourth in the second, earned fourth overall while riding with an Photos by Craig Yantis/The Western Front (Above) Federal Way's Ryan Cornett takes to the air. (Below) Zack Storey, 541, Adrian Carmichael, 732, and James Hanson , 296, fight their way through a turn at Hannegan. injured wrist. Gage tore all of the ligaments in his wrist eight months ago while racing an AMA National MX Championship Series race in Minnesota. He had one surgery in August and is scheduled to have a second on May 11 because his wrist has not healed properly. Sunday's race was his first since the injury. "I would like to hit the outdoor nationals or the Canadian nationals (this year) if my wrist gets healed up," Gage said. Gage said the competition at nationals is more intense than local competition. "Instead of being top dog you are just another fish in the pond," Gage said. "The speed (of the other riders) is a lot deeper." Many motocross "stars to-be" lined the track as the pros raced by with their engines whining. Rick Albee, 7-year-old Bellingham racer, came to the track with his family to race Sunday. His father, once a professional racer, is a member of Mount Baker Motorcycle Club and started Rick Jr. racing when he was three. Rick learned to ride by holding on the handlebars of his father's bike. "Just like his dad, he's got (motocross racing) in his blood," Rick's mother Linda Albee said. Linda said watching her son leave the starting line is nerve-racking, but she would never discourage him from riding. "When he was in a district 27 race, he ended up tumbling and he landed on his head," Linda said. "He was lucky he had his helmet on. But he got right back up. Now if it would be me, I wouldn't do it." The Mount Baker Motorcycle Club, formed in 1926, has hosted motocross races at Hannegan Speedway since 1966. The club also hosts Mini-Sprint racing, Off- Road and Baja car racing and Flat Track motorcycle racing. Club member Don Peter, just turning 60, comes out for all events the club puts on. He raced scrambles at Hannegan in the past and still rides off road occasionally. "In 1972 I was motocrossing pretty heavy out here," Peter said. "I got up to second and was going for first and some kid from Canada beat me. He was 18 years old." Peter has become familiar with Hannegan's clay-rich mud during his 30 years with the club. "I came in here one time on my old Harley-Davidson and I got so much mud in the fenders my wheels wouldn't turn," Peter said.

At least that's the message the federal government is sending with one portion of the Higher Education Act of 1998 that will take effect this July. One controversial section of the HEA states that a student who is convicted of any crime involving the possession or sale of illegal drugs can no longer receive federal financial aid. The provision applies only to drug convictions â€” not violent crimes, not sex crimes and not weapons charges. Apparently, our elected representatives think it's necessary to protect us from having to go to school with pot smokers while continuing to hand out free money to murderers and rapists. While one can assume the purpose of the legislation is to deter the use of drugs in college, the true effect of the law is only to punish those who have made mistakes and tried to move on. Instead of making it harder for those unfortunate enough to be touched by the ill effects of illegal drugs to seek the education they need to further themselves, the government should be helping them. Experiencing the ills of drugs and deciding to continue on and seek out an education is a sign of strength and determination â€” a strength and determination that many students who have their college tuition handed to them on a silver spoon don't have. Furthermore, everyone from Associated Student President Victor Cox to members of the newly recognized Drug Policy Reform Organization have pointed out this law targets the poor and minorities. These groups are among the most likely to seek financial aid and the most likely to be unable to fight drug charges. The DPRO, a campus group, and Barney Frank (D-Mass.), a U.S. representative are trying to change the law. While the DPRO presented the A.S. with a non-binding resolution which would express their opposition to the law, Frank is currently pushing legislation which would repeal the absurd section of the HEA. Hopefully the A.S. and the Federal Government will realize just how pointless this law is and pass their respective resolutions. Our country is supposed to be a land of opportunity, and those opportunities shouldn't be given to certain groups of the population, while restricted from others. Section "F" of the HEA is bad law and should be repealed, and as students, we should be the voice calling most loudly for it's retraction.

A IRA disarmament plan gives world glimpse of hope, eyeful of caution Hillary Smith COMMENTARY A glimpse of long-awaited peace faced the people of Ireland Saturday when the Irish Republican Army pledged to reveal hidden stockpiles of weaponry to international inspectors, but not allow them to be confiscated or destroyed. This may seem a far cry from the total disarmament called for in 1998's Good Friday peace accord, but it is a major step toward restoring stability in Northern Ireland. By ending its extensive refusal to disarm, the IRA has shed hope on establishing a new political order. The IRA has made major progress toward disarmament since 1998. When the peace accord, which called for total disarmament of the IRA by May 22, 2000, was a mere three weeks old, the group blatantly opposed it, refusing to reveal weapon stockpiles. "There appears to be yet another attempt to resurrect the decommissioning issue as an 'By ending its extensive refusal to disarm, the IRA has shed hope on establishing a new political order.' obstacle to progress ... Let us make it clear that there will be no decommissioning by the IRA," group members announced April 30, 1998. In February, after only 72 days of operation, Britain suspended Belfast's home-rule government of Roman Catholic and Protestant parties because it said the IRA had shown no effort to disarm. The IRA's answer to British and Irish governments announcing an agreement to resume suspended home-rule government in Belfast May 22 came in less than a day. "The IRA will initiate a process that will completely and verifiably put IRA arms beyond use ... The IRA leadership has agreed to put in place, within weeks, a confidence-building measure to confirm that our weapons remain secure," IRA members said. The IRA's proposal to disarm meets the demand of both British and Irish governments that paramilitary groups state clearly their arms will be "completely and verifiably beyond use." This demonstrates the IRA's strong commitment to See IRA, page 11 Makah whaling makes a mockery of tradition Dionna M. Dominguez COMMENTARY If participating in offensive and gruesome ritual killings is not considered a favorite family pastime, someone forgot to tell the gray whale hunting, blood spilling,., canft-live-in-the-now Makah Tribe. The necessity of whaling is hotly debated among tribal members, its supporters and those who oppose it. In an open letter to the public in 1998, Keith Johnson, Makah Whaling Commission president, lamely attempted to cite to the opposition issues, such as tribal religion, dietary nutrition and the need to instill cultural pride and discipline in their youth, as legitimate reasons for whaling. In a very telling comment, Johnson added, "We also want to fulfill the legacy of our forefathers and restore a part of our culture, which was taken from us." The plot thickens. Cultural "traditions" of the 'It is the Makah's defiant way of telling the world they are not governed by our value system and will exercise their rights at random, just because they can.' Makah, such as stalking and killing gray whales â€” using the power boats and high-powered rifles of their forefathers â€” as a way to spiritually connect to their ancestors, are not reasonable methods of teaching cultural pride, much less discipline. It is a political act, plain and simple. It is the Makah's defiant way of telling the world they are not governed by our value system and will exercise their rights at random, just because they can â€” no matter how ignorant the exercise. It is as ridiculous an act as a white southerner taking his unruly son to witness the hunting down, shackling and enslavement of a black person. Never mind that it is just plain wrong and that it is the new millennium â€” it's just a part of "Southern tradition" and should revisit the black community at least one day each year. The Makah express the same ignorant mentality by whaling. It is ~ See WHALE, page 11 I ---------- Western Front 2000-05-12 - Page 11 ---------- May 12, 2000 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 11 Makah whaling efforts more political than traditional Arms plan first step toward peace From WHALE, page 10 not necessary to preserve cultural identity. After viewing the live telecast of the May 18,1999 slaughter of a gray whale off the coast, Washington Sen. Slade Gorton sent a news release lambasting the Makah for its actions. "The Makah do have the right to hunt whales under their treaty (negotiated with U.S. Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens at Neah Bay in 1855) and through the International Whaling Commission," Gorton said. "Their choice to exercise this right, however, was both extraordinarily foolish and an affront to the sensibilities of tens of mil- Bellingham's Original Smoke-free Pub â€¢Ten Taps â€¢Two Beer Engines â€¢Huge Belgian Ale Selection â€¢Creative Pub Fare 2 1 Over O P E N A T 3 : 0 0 P .

The key word is "fellow." The choice to exercise this antiquated right, originally established for the purpose of sustaining an American Indian nation, is neither a cultural nor religious issue. It is an issue of defiance and rebellion by one angry segment of a society against another â€” hardly an action of fellowship. Many of the Makah openly express their deep-seeded resentment toward the segment of society they blame for stealing their cultural identity â€” whites. Whaling is merely a weapon used by the Makah in their perceived power struggle with that segment. "Whenever we had something you wanted or did something you didn't like, you tried to impose your values on us," Johnson said. "Too often white society has demonstrated this kind of cul^ tural arrogance." Cultural arrogance could not be more evident than in the Makah's refusal to make reasonable decisions based on their current needs and options available, rather than resurrecting unnecessary traditions of the past. It is the gift the Tribe gives its youth in a day and age when young members need to be able to acclimate to a diverse nation, not hide under a blanket of separatist "traditions" that they may not even view as valuable. Then again, the aspect of making tons of money from their right to the commercial sale of whale meat will probably win more than a few converts, although the Makah deny the intent to do so. Sushi anyone? From IRA, page 10 restoring peace in Northern Ireland. The group said several arms dumps would be open for inspection within weeks and remain subject to re-inspection by international disarmament representatives to ensure weapons are not being used. The IRA will develop long-term plans to surrender its weapons â€” Protestant paramilitary groups must be subject to the same disarmament. The IRA is estimated to own 40 rocket-propelled grenade launchers, 650 AK-47 automatic rifles, hundreds of handguns, 32 machine guns, two tons of plastic explosives, tons of ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades.

IRA leaders should be acknowledged by Unionists for overcoming doubts concerning disarmament among fiercely militant members. They deserve credit in the form of Trimble keeping his word â€” he cannot expect disarmament to begin before his party will agree to rejoin the power-sharing government. Deadlines for additional measures proposed by British and Irish governments to ensure peace have been extended one year. A police force balanced between Roman Catholic and Protestant officers, along with new human rights standards are among the proposed measures. These are important stepping stones in the peace process and should not be overlooked in future months. Both Trimble and Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, the political party linked to the IRA, have made great compromises in the effort to end three decades of religious conflict, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 3,600 people. The cross-community administration envisioned in the peace accord brought hope of a fair and lasting peace to Northern Ireland.

The remodeling project, which is the first phase of theViking Union renovation project, currently is underway to create a flexible dining area that also can be utilized as a meeting place for students, faculty and staff. Once completed, the dining area will have arestaurant atmosphere, rather than one typical of an institutional cafeteria. The transformation of thenorth campus dining hall has been long in the making. "We started drafting the program statement inJanuary 1984, but' it's been a priority of Keith Guy's (director of university residences) for a long time,"Leslie Evans, university residences' interior designer, said. The program statement", which includedarchitectural plans and estimates, was approved by the board of trustees and was given the go-ahead by the Committee on Housing and Dining, which is funding the project. The $225,000 reconstruction p r o j e c t b e g a n the day students left for summer break and is scheduled for completion the day beforestudents return for fall quarter. The objectives of the project are to make the dining hall more intimateand less noisy, to provide better light efficiency and to improve the traffic flow of students coming toand from the serving and dining areas, Evans added. The reconstruction underway includes lowering the ceiling, carpeting the dining area, tiling the serving area, giving the walls acoustical treatment andinstalling a new lighting system to reduce the feeling of largeness. "Hopefully the remodeling willmake it (Viking Commons) "hot Took like an airplane hangar and will create more of a restaurantfeeling," Evans added. Other reconstruction includes a revamping of the serving area so that all the foodand utensils will be located in the same area, including the salad bar and condiments. The beveragebar and tray return also will be separated from the dining-area. The color scheme chosen for the dininghall is maroon and beige. "The windows in the Viking Commons have a gray film on them to controlheat gain, so these colors will help bring brightness and warmth,"Evans said. "I see a need for theproject and I think it is way overdue. The commons is a terrible place to eat because you feel like cattlebeing herded in and out. The plans are really needed improvements," said Ruth Norton, formerAssociated Students director-at-large for university residences and a member of the Committee onHousing and Dining. "I'm really excited about the remodeling project. It's something for the wholecampus that everyone will appreciate, especially the residence hall residents," Evans added."'"â€¢'*'â€¢ r â€¢â€¢-â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢-â€¢â€¢-â€¢â€¢â€¢ - JULIESTEELE Two carpenterson a scaffold construct a new and lower ceiling at the Viking commons.

By Don Yates Is the great communicator a proper epithet for Ronald Reagan? DanRothwell of the communication department will explore this question at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in MillerHall 104. "Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator?" is the next lecture in the summer sessionlecture series, "The Word: Printed, Seen and Heard." "The mass media has dubbed Ronald Reagan'the Great Communicator.' I will be evaluating his use of communication to determine whether that's an appropriate label for him," Rothwell said. Rothwell said he sees positive and negative elements inReagan's use of communication. "I think he communicates effectively on television. He reads aprepared speech very well, and he has a dynamic presentation. "I don't think, however, when he's inpress conferences that he's very effective at all. It's mind-boggling how often he talks his way into a blind alley,"he said. LECTURE SERIES Rothwell has been poring over transcripts of Reagan's pressconferences and isn't impressed much by what he's found. "' It's not unusual to find completelyincoherent statements," he commented. "Also, he plays fast and. loose with statistics as evidence. That's not a mark of a great communicator,"he said. "When a person gets dubbed the greatcommunicator, he should at least meet minimal standards we establish in speech 101," he explained. Minimal standards for adequate communication, Rothwell said, are the abilities to be articulate,critically analyze ideas and evidence as well as understand and utilize personal strategies. Rothwellattributes Reagan's successful use of communication to his mythmaking ability. "He's a very effectivemyth-maker, and I don't mean that in a pejorative sense. American history is pretty much predicatedupon myths," Rothwell said. "People seem to buy the myths he creates. For example, in the election he succeeded by making us feel good about America," he explained.

Summer blood draw is a first at Western The Puget SoundBlood Center mobile unit will be in Red Square July 17 and 18 for a summer session blood draw. This is the first summer draw at Western in almost 20 years, Dr. Robert Gibb from the Whatcom PathologyLaboratory And Blood Bank, said. Previously there had been a problem organizing the draw withWestern's health service in the summer, he said. "The need (for blood) is greater in the summer because donors are down. . .It's a national problem," Gibb said. "We're counting on Western to bail us out ofthis problem," he said. He said that Western has done "terrifically" in the number of donors at pastbloods draws. The mobile unit will be here from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. both Wednesday and Thursday in RedSquare. No appointment is necessary. The draw is sponsored by Student Health Services. i. ---------- Western Front - 1985 July 11 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1985 Annual workshop defines duties for deans By TimChovanak From across the United States and Canada, more than 50 deans, assistant deans andexecutive representing the Council of Graduate Schools came to Western Sunday for five days ofseminars in the first CGS meeting in Washington, Sam Kelly, dean of Western's graduate school, said.The CGS, aimed at improving and furthering the interests of its members, is affiliated, with 400 colleges and universities in the United States, CGS President Jules LaPidus said. He said member institutionsaward 85 percent of the masters degrees and 95 percent of the doctorate degrees in the United Stateseach year. Canadian universities, including the University of British Columbia, aren't members of CGSbut were invited to attend the the annua! seminar. LaPidus, a former graduate dean and vice provost for research at Ohio State University, said his office arranges the workshops to bring new and older,experienced deans together to orient new deans with the "nuts and bolts" of their duties. He said theCGS board of directors led the Monday ajid Tuesday seminars to discuss experiences as well asadmissions, recruitment, record keeping and quality determination techniques. But LaPidus said informal contacts gained during the seminars and other activities, such as a tour of the campus and of the San Juans, are as important as seminars for many of the attendants. He said deans can talk aboutproblems and concerns, and gain contacts for help on future problems. LaPidus said Western is an ideallocation because of its beautiful campus and relaxed atmosphere. He said the setting provides a"contact environment" for deans to meet others with the same problems.. He said Western was chosenbecause CGS tries to strike an east-west balance between each year's meeting. Kelly said he is verypleased Western was chosen. Last year's meeting was in Boston. This year's meeting, although far frommany of the CGS member institutions, had 45 schools represented, including Northwestern and NotreDame universities. Most of the attendees came from 25 states and provinces, including Quebec,Massachusetts, Maine, Idaho, Florida and Michigan. Also attending were representatives frompublishing companies, testing services and other businesses catering to graduate schools. TIMCHOVANAK Jules B.

Rambo: The silent screen By Pam Helberg Vengeance is mine saith John Rambo, (SylvesterStallone) mercenary with a cause. And Rambo's actions speak louder than his words. "Rambo: FirstBlood Part Two" deserves the "R" rating even though the sex in the movie amounts to nothing more than a brief kiss, and the language (when there actually is any) consists of little more than one fâ€” you. Theviolence, blood and guts outdo even "Apocalypse Now." That's not to say that "Rambo" is not worth the$4 admission; if you have a strong stomach and a penchant for adventure, this quasi-patriotic tribute toVietnam warrants some attention. Once you get used to Stallone a la Schwarzenegger and the lack ofdialogue, "Rambo" becomes a fairly interesting study on the reintegration of Vietnam veterans intoAmerican society. America has forgotten the men of Vietnam, just as the federal bureaucracy has written off the POWs that Rambo searches for in the Asian jungles. Political philosophies aside, "Rambo"lacked something aesthetic. Stallone's muscles seem to have restricted his vocal cords, rendering him incapable of uttering more than a respectful "Sir" to his commanding officer. He does come up with atouching speech at the end of the film, but the consistent lack of dialogue leaves you anticipating animpassioned "Adrian! I love you!"for lack of other suitable words. Rambo's survival techniques are a bit onthe gory side, and he seems to have lost some finesse. While his escapades in the original "First Blood"demonstrated some talent and ingenuity, in the jungles of Vietnam he relies too heavily on his machinegun. Granted, a few scenes are original. Stallone's imitation of the mud wall, for instance, but rather thanspoil the effect, I'll just mention that scene tends to make up for all of the unoriginal machine-gunbloodshed. Indiana Jones set a precedent with his femme fatale companion, and "Rambo" smacks of thetoken female syndrome. Rambo handled himself quite nicely against the Washington State Patrol, andevidently earned quite a few honors in the war. Why in the world he needs a female cohort in jungles he is familiar with is beyond the imagination of this Rambo fan. "Rambo's" similarity to the overdone Vietnamtheme is a tad surprising. But, the film delivers a strong message: Vietnam will live on forever becauseAmerica refused'tb welcome back the men who believed in her enough to fight for her, even when she was dead wrong.

Her name is Deo Volente, Latin for "God Willing,"because, as 47-year-old Hollenbeg says, "If God isn't willing, she doesn't fly." But it would seem that God is quite willing, for the building of the schooner has proceeded smoothly since it was begun two yearsago. Deo Volente's most unusual feature is the material of her construction. While the majority ofsailboats are made of fiberglass or wood', Hollenberg and his wife, Ruth, who helped with the boat'sdesign and who does an equal share of construction, chose to depart from conventional rules. DeoVolente is made of foam laminated with graphite on one side and fiberglass on the other. A piece of thematerial, held in the hand, seems to weigh hardly anything at all. The entire vessel will weigh nine, tons,Hollenberg said, in comparison to a boat of similar length made of fiberglass, which would tip thescales at anywhere from 35 to 50 tons. A look below the deck reveals an amazingly spacious cabin,with two guest rooms, one master room, a galley (kitchen area) with a breakfast bar, chart room, twoheads (bathrooms) and a salon, or living area. Hollenberg is a Dutch citizen, and plans to fly the flag ofHolland on his yacht. Born in Amsterdam, he came to the United States in 1962. Of medium height, he is stocky, with blue eyes, curly gray hair and a beard. He and his wife once sailed the MediterraneanSea in a 51-foot boat Hollenberg describes as "a pig." Dissatisfaction with that boat's performance ledhim and his wife to conceive the idea for Deo Volente. Before beginning construction, Hollenbergresearched his materials thoroughly. He got an employee training manual from an aerospace companyin Los Angeles. He received advice from boatbuilders in San Diego, whom he describes as very willing tohelp. Then, with money from the sale of two computer companies he owned, Hollenberg beganconstruction in 1983. The vessel is nowaboufthree-quarters finished, but when asked if he hasprojected a date of completion, Hollenberg smiles. "Yes, we have-five or six times." He explains that on a project as big as his, it is difficult to set a date and stick to it. The boat will be powered by a two-cylinder, 18-horsepower engine, with "a top motoring speed of nine-and-a-half knots, or about 12 milesper hour. Under sail, she can be managed by two people. Those two people will be the Hollenbergs,They live in a trailer near Lynden outside the rented shed that houses their boat. Where are they planning to go after they launch her? Hollenberg grins.

I was one of 14students who were armed with buckets, shovels, vegetable strainers and notebooks. As we wereclustered in front of Haggard Hall the door opened, Charles J. Flora, professor of zoology, bustled out.This was biology 202, better known as Marine Biology of the Northwest, and we were off on our first fieldtrip to the Chuckanut Mud Flats. ' .. â€¢ "Prepare to get filthy," Flora had said earlier in class. "And wear tennis shoes. They lace up tight and don't pull off in the mud." Most of the class had taken his advice.Flora himself wore an old button-up shirt, shapeless trousers and tennis shoes. We piled into the 12-passenger van. Some of the other students followed in cars. As we drove, Flora called back in hisresounding voice, "Remember the class motto: when the tide is low â€” we will go!" The tide was lowerthan usual on this morning, a condition that would allow us to see a greater number of marinecreatures than if it had been a normal one. Arriving, we collected our implements â€” intended for thecapture and examination of those creatures â€” and followed Flora down the beach to a series of pilings.My friend, Doug, stopped and rolled his jeans up to the knee. "I've been here before," he said with a grin,and strode after the class. By this time, we had progressed from sand into mud â€” slippery stuff, butfortunately shallow. I looked at my shoes. A bit of black slime around the sole; nothing serious yet.Perhaps Flora had exaggerated; perhaps there was a chance I could get out of this with minimaltrauma to my clothing and state of cleanliness. With this hope in mind, I followed the rest of the classand the professor as he finished lecturing on barnacles and periwinkles and headed for a bunch ofboulders a few hundred feet off. So far, so good. I brushed a few grains of sand out of my notebook andglanced again at my shoes. They were black Nikes with a white stripe, fairly new, in good condition. Iwouldn't have minded keeping them that way. Flora, meanwhile, was explaining to the class why hewished someone would make him a cloak from the threads mussels use to anchor themselves to rocks."A cloak like that'd stop bullets," he said, adding wistfully, "Of course, it'd take about 4.0, years to make. . ." . We went on, stepping carefully in the mud. Next to a large, barnacle-encrusted rock lay an oldrubber boot, gray and molding. 1 felt a stab of apprehension, which Doug did little to alleviate by tellingme, "That's from one of Dr. Flora's previous field trips." The professor himself was taking a sharp lefttowards the center of the mud flats. The slime grew deeper. My shoes began to make grotesque suckingnoises. At some point, the mud gave way to eel grass â€” and about six inches of water. Flora halted,mercifully, at the edge. He fished around in the eel grass and carrie up with a sluglike, organismlessthan. an incfr long.* "Bubble snail," tie told us, and explained some characteristics. 'Now, I wanteveryone to find one!" he cried. "If you don't find a bubble snail, you're chicken!" He turned and wadedinto the eel grass, and his students, thus challenged, followed. The time for inhibitions was past, Irealized. I stowed my notebook in my pack, rolled up my jeans, brandished my shovel, and wadedafter my fellow biologists. Flora was shouting gleefully, "Bubble snails all over!" And there were. I easilypulled several of the globular creatures from the grass and put them in my bucket ,;,with some water. .â€¢ It wasn't bad at all, I. reflected as 1 sloshed along. The water was quite warm, and what mud hadcollected on my footwear had long since been washed away.

Even hiking in July is icy By Pam Helberg %mu k School is not the prime place to be spending time this summer. The unusually hot, incredibly sunny weather of latehas made me wish I had never registered for classes. Who cares if I need 13 credits to graduate? I wantto spend my summer soaking up some of those rays. And I have been. This past weekend, a couple offriends and I packed up our backpacks and headed towards that glistening hunk of volcano, MountBaker. I was designated destination detail; that is, it was up to me to find a good place to go. So, Ipulled out my handy 101 Hikes in the North Cascades and picked the shortest hike: two miles. When Istopped to pick up my hiking companions I noticed a few unusual items lying about their house lookingsuspiciously like they were waiting to be packed. {Now, I'm not one to pack ligh|, but I have yet to takea two-quart kettle up a mountain.

So much for togetherness.Not three miles out of town did the shorter, and less wilderness-wise, of my friends read the descriptionof the hike I had chosen. "Round trip to Twin Lakes, four miles." So far so good. "The first four and a half miles to Twin Lakes (from Highway 542) usually are in decent condition, but the final two miles aresomething else, culminating in five wickedly-sharp switchbacks. Road maintenance is so difficult thislast stretch is not open to automobiles until the middle of August, some years not at all." Woops, Ihadn't read that far. "The two lakes, lovely alpine waters at an elevations of 5.200 feet, often are frozenuntil early August." Heh, heh. Well, friends, are we up for some snow camping? Sure am glad I have adown sleeping bag. You have what? Dacron, you say? Well, it has been a hot summer so far, perhapswe can find a patch of grass to pitch the tent on. The book was right, indeed.

Of course "almost" to a downhill hiker is never quite the same as "almost" toan uphill hiker. It wasn't until a few switchbacks later that we arrived at our destination. Turning ourbacks on the incredible view of Mount Baker, we rounded the final switchback and there laid Twin (snow-covered and frozen) Lakes and a very large field of snow surrounded them. We had hardly acceptedthe idea of Â§now campingâ€”we had one ensolite pad between the three of us, which was barelyenough for one set of hips, let alone threeâ€”when one of us spotted some close acquaintances hiking towards us, obviously on their way out.

It wasn't earth-shattering. Betty Crockervand Sue Ann Nivens aren't knocking on my door, but to me it was similar to walking on the moon: OneGiant Step. I made macaroni and cheese. I've heard macaroni and cheese j s the staple crop of theAmerican college student, but for me the task was. nearly insurmountable. I'm used to SAGA, frozendinners, all-you-can- eat at Skipper's and Domino's in 30 minutes or it's free. I can't say I'm not anexperienced cook though. I've mastered Wheaties, cup-of-soup, and I'm even getting the hang oftoast. But upon entering Port Town-send, where I'm working this summer, 1 quickly realized these skills would not suffice. No McDonalds, no Shakey's, no Skippers, not even a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Theclosest thing to a fast-food chain is a Safeway. So I went grocery shopping. I got the shopping cart, Ihad a list, and" I had flashbacks of the movie "Mr. Mom." Suddenly I realized how frightening the Wrong qpprqach women's liberation movement really is. Suddenly I found it. I turned the corner of aisle six and a box of Scotch Buy Macaroni and Cheese jumped at me, and only 39 cents. I bought six boxes, tookthem home and began. First I opened the box and emptied the contents into a pan. The instructionssaid, "Put macaroni into six cups of boiling water." Where was the recipe for boiling water? I beganputting six cups of water into the pan, and at about the fourth cup I realized the pan was too small, and I dumped the contents into a bigger pan. Next, "After 10 minutes drain the macaroni." I slowly dumpedthe water into the sink, with half of the macaroni following it. As I picked the macaroni out of the sink Ikept thinking of driving to Port Angeles to search for a Pizza Haven. Then it began getting rather... uh,sticky. It said, "Add a half cup of milk and a quarter cup of butter." I had to go to the store because Ididn't realize I needed other ingredients. When I got back, the macaroni had transformed into one biglump of pasta. I soaked it some more in water, but it didn't help, so 1 smashed it down into another panand added the other ingredients: the milk, butter and "fla-. vor packet." I smashed and mixed it forseveral minutes, until it looked similar to SAGA's "Mexican Surprise": a yellowish-orange globulatedmess. But hey, it smelled like macaroni and cheese. Just because it looked like something a dogwouldn't sniff, I figured I didn't care what it looked like because it all gets mixed up when being digestedanyway. I dumped a bunch of salf on it, sat down with a coke, and ate. Suddenly I rememberedsomething from my childhood: 1 hate macaroni and cheese. Andy Perdue is a Western journalismstudent working for the Port Townsend Leader. Deter rape, not walking By Kris Skewis SEXUAL assault is one of the least acknowledged campus crimes. Freshmen are warned about residence hallrobberies, auto thefts and bike thefts; but rarely are they told about sexual assault. The "on-campus"rapes are reported at an incredibly low rate compared to the surrounding campus area. Unfortunately 80percent of the time the victim knows the attacker. Therefore, it is unreasonable to think an escort willprotect you on campus! For we rarely are afraid to walk home with people we know. Acquaintancerape also is on the increase. Some people label it "date rape" (as if the adjective softens the crime).One out of three women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. The FBI estimates that only one out of 10 rapes are reported to law enforcement agencies. The personal safety ofstudents at Western depends on knowledge and information about this crime. But it isn't merely anescort or a workshop that will end this violence. What must be addressed is the motive in thisviolence; both men and women must be educated. If a women says "No," it is a rape, an easystatement that we all must learn to believe and support. A few simple steps could begin to make adifference. Sexual Assault Trainings are offered at Harborview Sexual Assault Center. The campussecurity and escorts all could attend. Women security officers could be added to its staff so thatreporting could be easier. Better lighting on campus, and possibly security phones on campuswalkways would increase student awareness, which in itself would help. Last year was the first yearthat the resident advisors at Western received - training on sexual assault. This was a commendablestep on their part to include it in their trainings. The escort service is a valuable service, but it's notavailable 24 hours a day, and it shouldn't be seen as a cure-all for rape on this campus. The trueproblem is why do you need an escort? This administration shouldn't encourage the idea that women"shouldn't walk alone at night;" women have been told that since they were old enough to walk. Whatshould be encouraged is: Why shouldn't women walk at night alone? This administration needs tohonestly acknowledge that campus rape happens on Western's campus. It should work to prevent it and educate students about prevention. ---------- Western Front - 1985 July 11 - Page 7 ---------- THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1985 WESTERN FRONT 7 SUMMER SESSION STUDENTS (WHV/\f?5THEYHERE?) â€¢MASOCHISTIC TENDENCIES,? â€¢OVERftCHlEVE'RS? â€¢PREFER PALENESS?PARENTS LIVF IN BEU.1NGHAM ? â€¢HAWA 12.

Now, it's not so much the money that upsets me, but thefact that the parking system is totally absurd. Seriously, where can a student without the proper permitpark on campus? Nowhere!

(Bad rap uh huh) Allen Peterson Would the public react about flies? Western Front: In theirletter in the June 27 Front, DePuydt, Green, Robinson, Renfro and Neulicht make a most moralizinglypompous and asinine pronouncement. They announce that "we can no longer stand back and watch our government escalate it's aggres-mmmmmmmmmmmtmmmmmtmmmmftmmmtm sion againstNicaraguans and other Central American peoples." These individuals have been frequent participants inthe absurd antics (or protests) of the nuclear freeze and Committee in Solidarity with the People of ElSalvador (CISPES) cults. Unmoved by facts and immune to reason they have shown themselves asobedient servants to their cult's creeds that the United States, with some of it's friends, is responsible for all the world's troubles. The letter goes on to tellus that they want to "inspire others to speak out forpeace and justice in Central America." What they mean by peace and justice is the , attempteddestruction of El Salvador by communist criminals and the travesty of justice that is now evident in afascist Nicaragua. Their bravura punch line threatens us with "Today we are escalating our protests inresponse to .our government's escalation of military intervention in Central America." This presumablymeans more parades, vigils, speeches, bran-dishings of slogans and lying down on the floor of theUnited States Postal Service. We may wonder how the public will react to this apocalyptic news. Itwill probably react in the same way it would react if the state entomologist were to predict animminent increase in the population of flies. Edward D.

Daugherty said she thinks itis important to take risks. "What bigger risk than spending a year in China?" she said. Her appointment was arranged; but not financed, by the Office of International Affairs at Washington State University.Daugherty said she feels it is important to improve relations with Pacific Rim countries. She stressed the importance not only economically, but also for future Western students who may want to travel to China to teach or attend school. Daugherty will have a class of about 20 graduate students. She said sheassumes they already know some scientific English but that she will teach them conversationalEnglish. She plans to bring along menus, maps, magazines and money to share with the studentsand show some examples of American culture. Daugherty has recently completed a course inmethods and materials for teaching English as a second language. She has experience in communitytheater, public speaking, advising and administrative responsibility. Her education includes a masters of Education in School Counseling from Western and a Bachelor and a Masters of Arts in English fromCalifornia State University at Long Beach. She has experience teaching English from junior highthrough college levels. Daugherty has spent a lot of time preparing for the trip, said she believes it is very important to be sensitive to another country's culture. Her office and home are full of bags of booksand magazines containing information about China. Her goal for the trip is to learn conversationalChinese and to do a "heck of a good job teaching." She said she wants to come back a member of aglobal society. In the "interest of world peace, we need to truly live with our world neighbors," and tohelp facilitate Western.students to do the same thing, she said. She said she wants to enrich theunderstanding of contemporary China, to observe the structure and style of higher education and tounderstand the Chinese university students' approach to the educational process. Daugherty said shehas received a lot of support from other staff members since her decision to go to China. This will be awonderful opportunity for her to learn a lot, said Ron Johnson, director of academic advis-ingand thetutorial center. Johnson said that to help fill the workload for next year he has hired Christine Cress towork full time. Cress has worked as a peer advisor since 1983. Johnson said he will also be rotating thestaff.

"Bel-lingham is the most enchanting place I have ever lived," she said, and even though she will come back a different person, she said she looks forward to returning. Daugherty said that she will have to get usedto "stare squads" of Chinese because "I will be the largest female in China," laughed the five-foot-eleven-inch Daugherty, who is also fair-skinned.

Bellingham, Washington Friday, November 15, 1946 Driver, Redmond, Sanford Win Board Positions Only One-Third Of Student Body Casts Ballots In Important Election Jim Sanford, Bellingham junior, was elected four quarters man or woman representative to the Board of Control at the regular four quarter Associated Students election held Wednesday. Donna Redmand, Bellingham sophomore, defeated Barbara Stockton for the four quarters womens position, while Georgia Driver, senior from Woodland, copped the one quarter man or w o m a n position from Jack Anchors Aweigh—Viking Ship Hoists Sail Clark. P i n a l tabulations show, in spite of the appeals from Don Brown and Dr. W. W. Haggard at last Friday's assembly, and -notices on the bulletin board, a small vote was cast with only one-third of the student body taking advantage of their balloting privilege. Jim Sanford, secretary of the "W" club, section editor of the Klipsun, and IRA member, returned to WWC last fall after serving in the navy air corps. Secretary of AWS, vice-president of the sophomore class, secretary of ACE, and an active member of Blue Triangle and Valkyrie, Donna Redmond was the winner in a hotly contested race for the quarter quarters womens . p o s i t i o n , Georgia Driver's senior record lists her as Homecoming princess, president of WRA, Blue Triangle and Valkyrie member. Vet Papers Copied Free Information received t o d ay from the Washington state department of veteran affairs will save veterans a lot of time and trouble and, incidentally, a lot of money. Beginning immediately, the veterans' affairs office, room 205 in the Pine Arts building on Holly street, will make free photostatic copies of all discharge papers or other records the veteran needs to clear claims or benefits. From one to three copies of any necessary documents will be made free of charge through the main offices in Olympia. The process "will take from a week to 10 days. Additional copies of any document previously duplicated through the veteran affairs office may be obtained by the veteran. lobaxVi 'i WotW by halldor karason "There's a strange something, which without a brain Fools feel, and which e'en wise men can't explain, Planted in man, to bind him to that earth, In dearest ties, from whence he drew his birth." —Churchill That quotation could be applied to many peoples in many different situations throughout history. Perhaps the thought has never been so poignant to any people as today to the people of Bikini atoll. A SLEEPY LAGOON The peaceful islanders of Bikini had very little to say in the decision which brought on their exile. Converted to Christianity by missionaries, they had lived an idyllic existence, living, loving, and worshipping with little thought of, and probably, no real knowledge of the world outside of their atoll group. The world and its great war had no effect on their life and undoubtedly, if they knew anything about what was going on, they considered themselves as apart from the strife among the nations. They were really isolationists and insignificant as such. Perhaps one could say that what happened to the people of Bikini should be an object, lesson to the people of all the world. PICKED AS TEST SITE In the winter and early spring of 1946, the United States began its search for an island where the atomic bomb could be tested effectively. Bikini was chosen becouse it was isolated from civilization and yet was inhabitable. Conditions could be set up there for a very comprehensive test of the destructiveness of the atom bomb. The fact that it was the home of 165 people created a little difficulty, but that was soon overcome. FORCED MOVE Near Bikini, about 100 miles to the southeast, is another little island called Rongerik. By convincing the chief of the Bikini people, King Juda, that it was necessary to experiment with the Thing on his island, the Navy was able to persuade the islanders to leave their home and move to Rongerik. On Rongerik the island people were made comfortable. They were given huts with tin roofs and wooden floors, a radio, a fine new council house, and a big water cistern to guarantee an adequate water supply. Rongerik was as large and as fertile as Bikini; there were as many, if not more, coconut palms and pandanus trees; the fishing was good. Prom an economic point of view the Bikini people profited by the change of islands—but Rongerik is not home. Now King Juda and his people want to go home again to Bikini. There is still much radioactivity around the atoll and the Navy does not think it. wise to move them back. Meanwhile their homesickness grows and amid all the new economic advantages of their new home they become increasingly unhappy. ONE WORLD To draw a moral from the story, one might well say that in the world today no group of people, regardless of how large or how small that group may be, can fail to be affected by this new age which has begun. The world has become so small that now people talk of traveling around the world as nonchalantly as they talked of crossing the continent twenty years ago. The advance of modern science has its effect even on such isolated people as the people of Bikini atoll. The world has become, in truth, "One World." They're Here! The new 1946 Homecoming Booklets! A bigger and better booklet than ever, and only 25c. This is the flash that just came out of the booklet committee conference. With it came a warning to all students: Due to the choice selection and limited amount of paper there will be only 800 booklets printed. The registration tilts 950 students in WWC! There are the facts. Avoid the rush. The booklet will be on sale in the Collegian news room and prominent spots throughout the main building-today. The beautiful souvenir booklet will also be sold at the Homecoming game Saturday. Because every student will want one, get yours now. Ex-Faculty Author In the November issue of "Nature" magazine there is an article written by Dr. A. C. Herre, who is a former member of WWC faculty. The name of 'the article is "Vegetable Voyagers" which is the story of America's new contributions to the food plants of the world. Dr. Herre is now a curator of the Zoological Museum of Stanford, where he has been for a number of years. Klipsun Kards On Sale Now Christmas Klipsun Kards went on sale today as the first part of the double-billed fund raising campaign for more pages in the school annual. Mr. Paul O'Brien, famous San Francisco artist, especially designed these cards from a series of campus views sent to him by the annual staff from their opening sections of the 1947 Klipsun. Mr. O'Brien is probably best known for his art works on the French pavilion and Alta California building at the San Francisco Exhibition, and has /just recently entered the commercial field in designing. The second feature of the Klip-sun's program consists of selling war edition annuals for fifty cents and taking subscriptions for the coming spring edition of the annual from alumni today and tomorrow. Collegian Party Past and present members of the WWCollegian staff will become acquainted at a colorful Collegian party to be held at Mrs. Ruth Burnet's home next Tuesday night. Former Collegian Returns T Roosi sity of Washington. The board implemented proposals to care for the teacher shortage by seeking legislation to permit the three state educational colleges to grant master degrees' in elementary education. Such legislation is required because a 1917 law relegates elementary teacher training to the educational c o l l e g e s , a n d secondary teacher training to the university and state college. The present training facilities .will graduate approximately 190 elementary teachers in 1947, the number, increasing to 750 yearly, after 1950. The need calls for about 1,500 grad- . uates " annually for the riexlt five years, and 1,000 thereafter. Norse Feature Floor Show Plans for the Norseman's Dance, which will be held Saturday, November 23, at the local YMCA have been nearly completed. As yet the entertainment committee has not decided on which of the local bands will provide the dancing music, but an announcement will be forthcoming shortly. According to Bob Moblo, general chairman of the dance committee, ticket sales will be limited to 200 because of insufficient space. Tickets may now be purchased in the main hall for a dollar a couple. Homecoming!!!

Jean-clad girls have been scurrying through the halls all week, in preparation for today's Homecoming assembly skit. Everyone's in top form, getting set for a gala week-end. Tryouts for the Edens Hall Christmas choir are slated for next week, under the direction of Miss Mira Booth. The Edens hall girls would like to take this opportunity to thank Jack Graham and Ray Anthony who did so much to make the Edens hall sign a success. Jack did some very fine work for the girls and his help was sincerely appreciated. Ray's car did come in handy, too. Thanks, Ray. V V HOSPICE INN Welcome home grads! This year's Homecoming really is an important affair for the college and for Hospice Inn, because all the fellows in the- service who formerly lived at the House of Hospice are civilians again. Mrs. Stearns, our housemother, who has kept in contact with all her boys during the war years said that the last one was discharged last week. It's nice to have you back fellows! Among those who will be seen around the campus during the next two or three days are such personalities as »Stenson, Roper, Hubta,- Major, Burgess, the Dorcy boys, Doc Murmi, Healy, Bezzo, Bailey, and the McCulloughs. Having Homecoming skits is one way of finding hidden talent. We found the Hospice boys are artists, seamstresses, dancers and carpenters. Weren't those some shapely beauties in the ballet line? Those legs . . . those shoulders! Maybe you think what our petite dance adviser, Miss Margaret Aitkins, thought when she commented, "You are as graceful as cows!" Well, Homecoming is just beginning, so let's make it an occasion long to be remembered. All thirty of the boys from Hospice are out to make this year's affair something for the graduates to really enjoy and remember. You are our guests, graduates, and we hope you enjoy it. V V FOREST INN Ho hum! Here I am tired again but it's not because of the lack of sleep this week. I'm worn out from laughing so much. If you could have seen Shirley Van Moorhen when she ran into some honey, you'd know why. Or even if you'd gotten a glimpse of Ruby MacCormick's face who she found herself "short sheeted*' the other night. If it weren't for Betty Loucks, such sculldugery wouldn't happen around here. Glad her roommate, Irene Schenk, isn't such a devil, although sometimes I wonder. I certainly think that Melba Lehmann isn't any angel either, after finding cracker crumbs in my bed. Guess I'll sign off and go help Betty plan something new. See you next week. V V SENIOR HALL Mischief finds idle hands, thought thirteen girls when they returned here after a long week-end home. When Your's Truly walked into her room she was almost caught in a web-like festoon of white stuff (period!), which covered the whole room. Chairs were overturned, cushions missing, and drawers pulled out. Other girls found similar havoc in their rooms. These girls were Shirley Harrison, Gladine Simpson, Nancy Arney, "Toj" Graver, Eunice Wood, Marlis Wieberg, Shirley Long. Jo Knowles, Mimi Anderson, Donna Huling, Pat Castle, Betsy Peck, and Jeanne Hinthorne. Yes, we know who did it and if you're curious and wish to find out just ask "Ty" Attwood. She'll know. V V HARBORVIEW Last week all we heard around here was "only one more day until vacation and then home, good food, and relaxation." According to those who traveled home this past week-end the good food was in order but not relaxation! Pauline Roser has been hitting the sack at 8 p. m. every since . . . June and Virginia stag- • gered to their Tuesday morning classes and amid groans stated, "Wonderful week-end, didn't get in 'til 3 a. m. every durn night." . . . by the way just what kind of a floor-show does the El Rancho have? . . . ah, these corrupt frosh!

It's the first Homecoming football game since 1942, and the Viking-Pacific Lutheran battle promises to be a thrilling one. Of course championship hopes for the Viks have long since fallen short, nevertheless this game means.a lot to them—winning it will somehow wind things up in a blaze of glory. * * , ov IRON MEN . . . Three games in nine days for the Viks. Two of them have been played, and the seasons finale conies tomorrow as the hill top school stages a mix with Pacific Lutheran, as one of the highlights in its Homecoming affair. The Norsemen are looking for a two out of three record, in their new iron man role. * • CONFERENCE WIN . . . Week-end, and Armistice Day games saw the Vikings lose to St. Martin's, 12 to 6, while racking up their first conference win, 13 to 0, against Whitworth. The wildly cheering crowd appreciated the spectacular display of football fireworks dished out to them, in the Vik-Pirate game. The two eelvens played as if the league crown, not the cellar championship, was at stake. Westerns pass defense proved to be of the stone wall type, when the c*)ips were down. And it had to be as Whitworth continued to knock at touchdown lane via the airways. Our football hero of the week is Hal Partlow. Coming into the game unheralded, and unsung, he thrilled the crowd with some electrifying runs, which seemed to set off the spark the Viks needed. Packard and Zurline aided and abetted the cause of the Vikings right nobly too. Both teams played hipper dipper ball. Alert to every possibility, the Viks backfield lateral pass was quite the thing. Eighty yards of penalty chalked up against the Viks; with nary a yard chalked up against Whitworth. Fastest Viking backfield of the year, in action at Battersby, included: Smith, Wade, Lindbloom, and Poe. Hard luck team of the circuit must surely be the Viks; time and again injuries have sapped their reserve strength, and reserve strength can be the difference between the wining and losing of many a game. Viking casualty gam^ perse often,l our ml of sped lugs thl to have' target at cut lip affair, tilt at Olj Tilt was pld on a wet da POETR1 T. D. Nullified In Thriller Turning in a fifty-fifty week-end record, the Vikings lost to St. Martin's 12 to 6, at Olympia, and came back fighting mad to subdue Whitworth 13 to 0. The St. Martin loss was a heartbreaking one, more so because a Vik touchdown was called back when a tie seemed sure. Adding to the woes of the Norsemen, Les Winders was removed early in the game because of a side injury. The Viks touchdown play came on a pass, Winders to Clayton. The nullified touchdown was a Lindbloom to Clayton toss. Momentarily fumbling and hitting a St. Martin's man, Clayton lost control of the pigskin. From there Les Smith caught it and scatted over to paydirt, but the referee in back of the play claimed a St. Martin man did not touch the ball, therefore ruling the pass as incompleted. Somewhat discouraged but not beaten the Viks returned to Belling-ham to down the men from Whitworth. Playing with a backfield that had never before played together, and with (any position) Les Smith filling in at half the Viks jumped to an early 7 point lead. With Mutt Partlow and Clayton making long runs, the Vikings were soon on the Whitworth 4 yard line. Here, Poe on an off-tackle smash went over to score. Grubb came in and kicked the extra point. The air was full of passes] i tween the teams, 58 were attj land 20 were completed, these accounted for the se] puchdown.

It seems as if everyone is still dragging their weary bones around school, as the result of many and varied experiences suffered during our four day vacation last week. Preparing for a good week-end we found Pat Waterman under the table at the Doghouse. What were you doing down there Pat? Eleanor Wilbanks is often seen wearing an I. D. bracelet with the inscription "Love Alice". What's Dick Morseman trying to pull? If you saw a strange resemblance to Paul Bunyan in the person of Don Jones last Tuesday it.was due to the fact that his lost week-end was extended to 6:00 a. m. Tuesday morning. It seems, Don and the ducks were flying high. How many of the test takers that left the auditorium early were twenty-one and non-diploma students? Lucky for a lot of people that identification wasn't necessary. David Joly has a new hobby, the analysis of feminine figures! And why has Ed Black taken to twisting girl's arms? First incident, Olympia! Relax Mr. Miller, the heats off! The six-footers have forgotten the $22.50 debt and decided jail wasn't so bad after all. Just remember everyone, don't blame me if. you find a little dirt with your name attached, blame your friends who told me! It seems the Hospice Inn boys have been celebrating Homecoming for the past two or three days. Prom the looks of things, next week will be another one of "those weeks". And here's the question of the week: Where did Herb Witt lose his pivot tooth Wednesday night? It wasn't the library, was it fellows? Points From Forgotten Pages NO HUBA-HUBA . . .

Vikings' Last Game The melee with the Wildcats is not only the highlight of Homecoming, but is the highlight of the Vikings' home season as well. Before the leaves started turning brown and gold under the*touch of autumn's paints, the football fans had been talking about tomorrows game; for no matter how the Vikings have fared in previous games, when the traditional Homecoming contest appears the Bellingham aggregation always plays inspired football. The Vikings were primed last night as they romped through a practice session. In the locker room and on the field they displayed more spirit than this writer has seen all fall. With a light signal drill scheduled for this afternoon, they may pick up the fire that will send them against Ellensburg as a rejuvenated team. Vikings' Last Is Fast Bellingham's forward wall will probably line up with Claypoole, a good tackier and blocker, at one end, with the other flanking po sition held down by John Odell, a rangy slashing end. Willie Toby, a converted end, Schirman and Flint will be in reserve. Smick and Fren-der will probably start at tackles, with Hoban and Aines in reserve. All these men get across the line fast and dp plenty of damage in the opposing backfield. Fiery Ray Sul- Booklet Attractive This year's Homecoming booklet, edited by Bob Lindsley and Ralph Shenenberger, will be shaped like a football and have twenty-four pages. It will contain messages from President Fisher and the respective coaches, and pictures and descriptions of the two football teams. The book was sold in Fridays assembly, at the luncheon Saturday noon, and at the game, for twenty cents. Theater passes will be given to the persons holding the six lucky booklets. Consideration Due New Articles, Says Board of Trustees Representatives Christy, Bond, and T^By^fm. present New Articles to Board George Sokolsky Will Lecture At Called Assembly Assembly Scheduled for Friday 2:00 P. M. Will Feature Orientalist at Albert and Finley Newly Elected to Board of Control Percentage Voting in Election Finals Slightly Larger Than in Primaries (Continued on Page Three) o School Will be Given Accreditation After Representative Calls In order to give accreditation to the Bellingham Normal school, the American Association of State Teachers' Colleges is sending a representative to inspect the school. President Eugene Fair of the State Teachers College of Kirkville, Mis-ouri, is the representative of this national organization who will arrive here within a few weeks to begin his inspection. President C. H. Fisher said that until the school was able to grant a degree he had not asked for accreditation as the institution would be rated second class. It is now hoped that the school will make a first class rating. A detailed report is now being prepared to be sent to President Fair in advance of his arrival. This report includes the following items: requirements for graduation, preparation of the faculty, teaching load of faculty, training school facilities, the organization of curricula, student health and living conditions, library, laboratory, shop equipment, and the location, construction, and care of the buildings and campus. This report will be checked by President Fair during his inspection. Dick Albert and Otto Finley carried off the election Monday, November 13, and are now four- and three-quarter representatives on the board of control. According to statistics given out by John Christy, student prexy, the percentage of the student body- voting on the final election was slightly above that of the preceding primary election. Monday's percentage reached 48 per cent as against about 42 per cent in the primaries. Albert, who is attending his seventh quarter at Bellingham State Normal, is a graduate of the Everett high school and is now twenty years old. His term as four quarter representative will be the first board of control office he has held. However, he has had experience in student affairs, being secretary-treasurer of the sophomore class last year and holding the same position for the junior-senior class this year. He was once on the yell staff and won a leading part in a recent school play cast. The newly elected three quarter representative, Otto Finley, is attending here for his eleventh quarter. He came here from La Crosse, Washington, and attended Lake Stevens high school. Finley will be captain of the team in today's homecoming game. He has had experience on the board, having been four quarter representative last year. Finley defeated Marydel Conrad in (Continued on Page Four) • o Results of Voting Checked By Board Checking election results and approving a Klipsun budget comprised the business of the board of control at their weekly meeting in the associated students' office Monday, November 13, at 4:00 o'clock. Victor Dickinson, business man ager of the Klipsun, submitted a budget which was approved by the board. The budget was cut consid-r erably this year in accordance with the funds available. The meeting was adjourned, after a very brief session, by John Christy, president of the associated students. More time to consider the pro posed articles of incorporation of the associated students .was asked for by the board of trustees at their monthly meeting Wednesday, No vember 15. * Dr. E. A. Bond, John Christy, president of the student body and Vernon Lea-tha appeared before the trusteees a s representa-t i v e s of the board of control. H. C. Buckmlck submitted t he faculty commit- John Christy tee report on the proposed incorporation. Report Is Favorable The faculty committee report was favorable on the whole toward the proposed change in the method of conducting student government. Members of this committee were Mr. Ruckmick, chairman; Miss Florence Johnson, and Miss Nora B. Cummins. This committee consulted Vaughn Brown, local attorney, in drawing up their report. Faculty recommendations for changes in the proposed set-up provide for a linking of the administration, faculty, and students. The other change in the present set-up of the articles of incorporation would limit the proposed corporation from borrowing more than $1500 without the consent of the board of trustees. Demand Would be Constant Another point brought out in the faculty report was that after setting up a four-year school efforts for incorporating the student body would come up from time to time even if the present proposition should fail. The board of trustees will meet again December 20 at which time they are expected to take action. Before the articles of incorporation can become binding they must be accepted at an election for that purpose which would authorize the board of control to turn over the present assets of the associated student body to the new corporation. o Assembly Eeatures Night Club Novelty The -Homecoming assembly today featured Jimmy Butler as master of ceremonies at the club "Swenson", the college night club. Virgil Grif-fen and his orchestra played novelty numbers and Johnny Lensrud, the dulcet tenor imported from New York, sang a solo. Frank Pratt gave interpretations on the banjo, while Bill Allan rendered his version of the "St. James Infirmary Blues". The crowning feature was a Turkish dance by Madame Sari Alhambra, who was borrowed from the Caliph of Bagdad. The assembly was concluded by a football talk by Coach C. F. Lap-penbusch and pep yells for the Homecoming game. _ o George E. Sokolsky, who was un able to lecture at the Tuesday as sembly as scheduled, will appear in a special assembly which will be called at 2 p. m. today. Mr. Sokolsky will speak on the subject, "The Tinder Box of Asia," which is an analysis of the revolutionary forces in China and Japan acting upon the masses of both countries and altering their behavior and outlook. This lecture serves to provide an adequate background for an understanding of current tendencies and events in both China and Japan. Mr. Sokolsky's amazing success on the lecture platform, where he filled more than sixty engagements during the past season, has made him the most sought after lecturer on international affairs available, o Aerial Shots of Campus Will Be Used in Annual Dr. Ruckmick of Industrial Arts Department to gt; Take Air Views from Plane Homecoming Committee Extends All Returning Alumni Hearty Welcome Rally Tonight at 7:00 Led by the American Legion drum and bugle corps, and lighted by hand fuses, the serpentine will leave Edens hall at 7:00 p. m., tonight, march down High to Holly street, through the business section of town, and back to the new athletic field for the traditional bonfire, which is being prepared by the frosh class.

Under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Jenks, the choir has developed group rendition of poetry to a higher plane than ever before. Miss Jenks has been engaged in this type of work for a number of years: She received her M. A. degree in speech from Cornell after being graduated from the'University of California. The speaking choir is composed of fourteen persons whose voices differ in quality and pitch and who have acquired perfect coordination of interpretation and pantomime. Outstanding effects are produced by the wide variety of range control and flexibility of the individual voices. Group Takes Tour The speaking choir has met with outstanding success. In 1931 Miss Jenks took that year's group on a Southern tour. It received recognition which was favorable from many sources. It was said that to hear Miss Jenks' choir is to catch a hew vision of the pleasure to be derived from poetry. The choir has a repertoire of more than fifty numbers, including types of poetry from the dramatic "and the tragic to the, comic. The program to be used on the northern tour, from November 23 to rJecember 7," is divided into four groups: namely; the entire company, the men, the women, and a smaller mixed group. .Some of the"repre-sentetiye poems toijje given are: A Fool's4Prayer;. bjjr Bills; Congo, by Lindsay; and Boots,f by Kipling.

Led by Captain Otto Finley, eleven husky sons of Bellingham State Normal will take the field tomorrow to fight for a victory over the EI-fensburg Wildcats and a ^three-way tie for the tri-normal football championship. Not since 1925 has the Normal won a game from the Wild- Cats, but according to Coach Lappenbusch, the captain and the team,. and the student body, tomorrow is the day. Spirit is higher than it Jias been in many years. . Finley Is Captain ; Coach Lappenbusch •. has '• : chosen Otto Finley to lead the Vikings in their last game of _ the season and feels that he ' has picked ja. real, leader. Fin-, ley, a v^'inteu^nerij, depend-able center, captained the team in. their first victory of the season last week when they defeated the Pacific Lutheran College. This is bis second, • year of play for Bellingham. ! If comparative scores mean any-; thing, then the outcome * gt;f this game is alj in a.muddle. Ellensbiirg seems to have a large edge on the basis of the Cheney games and they defeated the Savages 13 to 7, while the Vikings were swamped under a 33 to ,0 score. However the Vikings have the edge on the P. L[ C. and St. J|/fertins games as their, compar-; ative scores in both cases are seven points better, than the Wildcats. Ellensburg to Pass , ..Two different types of attacks will be seen tomorrow when the game gets under way. The Ellensburg Eleven i s expected to throw a strong passing'attack at the Vikings, while Coach Lappenbusch's men will mix up their attack with spinners and off tackle plays. They will also throw a few passes on their own account and if they are clicking, anything may happen. Taking everything under consideration, we would like to make our humble prediction and say that we expect to see the Vikings come off the field winners by at least 7 points.. _ o Daniels Hall Victors; Munson's Frosh Lose In Basketball League I In one .of the hardest fought intramural basketball games -this year, the undefeated Daniels hall team won their second straight victory by defeating the Frosh on November 14, the final score being 18- 11. The game was close and rough, and Referee Gordon Richardson had tp call nineteen personal fouls during the game. \ Play throughout the whole game was nearly even. At the end of the first half the score was 13-8, with the winners put' in front. The second half Daniels hall made only five points, while the Frosh just scored three .pointy. . , • ' j Bill Ames of Daniels hall, and Bill Neilson of the Frosh tied for high point honors, each of these stars scoring seven markers.

And furtibnn.ore the n u.m e r o u s times they broke through to spill the opposing backs for a loss or to come near to blocking all the kicks? Davidson surely played safety man and fullback like a veteran last week. He aided materially in the Vikings' victory with his "never say down" spirit.

' • • . , - . * • . , - * ' . * ?• Miles and Lindsley added another chapter to their book of memories last week at Lakeway. They were opposing each other in match golf competition for the sixth time. They began playing against each other back at high school in a ladder tournament. Then last year they began their rivalry to secure a top position on the Viking squad. In last week's match they fought for the fall school championship. Imagine the topth-and-toenail fight the next time they meet tp see who will be victorious in breaking the tie of three victories each. Led by Les Williams and Cal Davidson, a pair of half-pint ball packers, the Viking's won'their first game of the season last Friday When they defeated" Pacific Lutheran . college by a two-touchdown margin, 14'to 0. Davidson, • a 160-pound quarterback who was made over Into a fullback for this" game, scored the first touchdown early in "the first quarter-on a'line plunge from the three-yard line.

The Pacific Lutheran eleven never had the i ball in": their possession within 'the Normal's twenty ^five-yard' line although thfeir passing ajb-tack always kept the Vuung secprx-dary defense busy; Coach' Lapperi-busch's beam had several other scoring opportunities but penalties usually set them back. One of the bright spots in the Viking offense was the4 playing of Davidson at the fullback position. Although he is very light he showed that he could smack the line for plenty of yardage and also: looked •yery good returning punts from the safety position. :; o -r Defense Is Strong Defensively, the whole V i k i ng team "played' well, with Bagley, Frender, and Captain Finley standing put. Frender played a strong game at tackle and. continually broke through to smear the P. L. C. runners in their tracks. Finley was picked to captain the Vikings, by Lappenbusch before the game and did so well that he will probably act as captain again tomorrow.

WASHINGTON BoolrWeek Of Grades Elementary School; Holds Open • House for Parents in Book Week BOOK REVIEWS INTERESTING Library Is Scene of Display on Child Reading Children of the campus elementary school this last week observed the fifteenth annual book week by giving an exhibit and a book review program in the children's library Thursday evening, November 16, at 7 p. m. Emphasis was lpaced on originality in presentation. The slogan for the fifteenth annual book week was "Growing Up With Books," the motto "Add a Shelf a Year." In connection with the slogan of "Growing Up With Books," tile second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades have arranged exhibits which have been on display at the library all week. These displays show the trend in reading from grade to grade. Favorite books among young readers are on display. The second and third grades have a showing of scenes from books which made the greatest impression. These scenes consist largely of pictures and posters made by members of the classes. The fourth, fifth and sixth grades are also handling exhibits. Part of these show the manners and customs of aid of dolls. Program Offered A program of book reviews, held in the library last night, was spon-dress in various countries with the sored by the seventh and eighth grades. A letter, composed by the eighth grade English class, was sent to the parents and patrons, inviting them to be present at the book reviews and to see the exhibits. The book reviews, which were" restricted to three minutes each, were developed to rouse the interest of the listeners, either by characterization sketches, presenting of conversations, outlining of plots, or closing after bringing the book to its most Viking Staff Plaii eefc-e At Glacier,Wash. Variety of Entertainment Will be Provided for Members Taking Trip Members of the Viking together with several invited guests will have their quarterly week-end party at Glacier, where they have rented the Mount Baker club's cabin for the coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Varied Program The entertainment com m i 11 e e, headed by Mary Fisher, has planned a full program, a hike Saturday up Church mountain, skiing, probably at Heather Meadows, and dancing at the cabin. Frank Pratt will play his banjo and two people have val-unteered to bring a portable phonograph and radio. "We're going communistic on the party," declared Nancy Jane Smith, general chairman of the party, "everyone will have to help with the work." The cost, including everything, will be $1. Those who intend to ski must arrange for their own skis and ski sticks. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Carver, Mr. and Mrs. Walt Sutherlen, and Miss Ruth Weythman are chaperones. Last quarter's party was held at Loganita lodge with the Thespians for over Saturday and Sunday. o Puppet E^utibn Closely Allied To That of Human Ancestry Traced Through Mystic Ages of India and Egypt to Present Day Bohe mian StudIiO Scene of Party Local Band Furnishes Music Large Attendance to "With two extra-special features of entertainment and red checkered table cloths, how could our party help going over big?" asked Margaret Chester, general chairman, after the freshman party was over last Friday night. ' The two "extra-special" numbers offered for the entertainment of the freshmen at intermission, were songs by Harold Burgess, a radio artist, who has been heard from station critical point, thus leaving the audi-1KOA in Denver; and more songs Puppets as a race, wi^h all its history and evolution, is a phase of puppetry seldom dwelt upon. The word puppet recalls to the average mind merely dancing dolls, but they are far more than that. They are almost human in their tradition: closely allied to the histories of many nations and portraying down through the ages the legends and romances of each period. Evidence of puppets can be traced up through the mystic ages of India and Egypt, through the classic centuries of Greece and Rome, and their footprints can even be followed through the dark ages of early Christianity, whence they emerged to wander along the higways to medieval Europe, until we have them today upon the street corner and the stage," contributing their share to the entertainment of the present generation. Today's marionette no longer portrays the hideous and grotesque of its generation, but rather the more artistic complement. Manipulation of the puppets, as well as their construction, is an art in itself and considerable rehearsal by the manipulators is necessary before a play can be presented. To quote from the writings of one of these puppeteers: "None who have not worked with puppets can understand the nervous strain of these performances." • 0 : : ..

An attempt to create an atmosphere of a true art studio was furthered by the decoration scheme. A touch of the real Bohemian spirit was in the crowd because someone perched a silver megaphone upon the head of Agassiz's statue. Music was furnished by Chuck Cissna's boys, a local band, who substituted for Virgil Griffin. Eats were punch and cookies. They must have been good, because they went mighty quick. All in all, the freshmen who put over this party feel that everyone who came was glad he did come, and is looking forward to the sophomore party next quarter.

Dr. Burnham is head of the History Department of the Western State Normal of Kalamazoo, Mich., and is making his first visit to the West. "Education is the adjustment to environment, a preparation for life. Many changes have taken place in America which influence education; public lands have-disappeared, population has grown; there" has been a great industrial development in the recent years; natural resources have been developed and forest and soil have been exploited. An advance in scientific research has aided in changing conditions. "The next question is, 'How are we going to meet these changes ?' We must use what we have and make it the best. Buildings should be good, the best teachers possible should be secured. Some changes in educational administration must take place to offset the other changes. The country school and city school should.have equal opportunities; : teachers must teach children and not subjects. All methods must be improved. Principles'qf health should have "a definite place in the school curriculum. Culture, meaning refinement of manners and tastes, should be stressed; and last and most important of all, the child's character must be developed. "Prospective teachers should be chosen from the cream of the high schools.

If you will glance over the names of the cast you can readily understand why this should be. Mr. Hoppe needs no introduction to the members of the student body. We do not ned to go further back than the Avinter and spring quarters to show his ability as a director. His splendid work in directing "Little Women," and "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" will long be remembered. His talent .as an actor has probably been best brought out by his impersonation of Bob Acres in "The Rivals," and in his recent recital, "The Return of Peter Grimm," Mr.'Rahskopf's work in directing "The Land of Heart's Desire," and in his J J.

Other members of the same cast who appear in "The Merchant of Venice" are Madeline Hess, Nell Henry, W. 0. E. Rvidcliffe, Estil Caine, Carrol Haeske and Harold Smith. Mr. Herbert Hansen, who appeared as "Manson" in "The Servant in the House," and the Duke in "As You Like It," plays a double role in "The Merchant of Venice."

They spent the night at Heliotrope camp, and at 5:00 a. m., Saturday morning started for the summit, which was :.eached at 4:40 p. m. The first of the climbers were back in camp at 7:25 p. m. The last reported at 10:00 p. m. One of the pleasures of camp life was the stories told by the official guide, Mr. Jack Hakard, of Seattle. There were also a number of sub-guides, including Mr. Everell Rice, Mr. L. A. Kibbe, uon Tunstall, and Estill Cain. The captains of the companies were: Company A, Robert Tunstall; Company B, Mr. William Heckman; Company D, Mr. W. J. Rice; Paul Washke was rear guard. In many cases it was necessary to cut steps in the ice walls with ice picks, and the steep ice walls had to be scaled with the aid of ropes. Mr. Coughlin is-very enthusiastic over the results of the trip and plans a similar ^trip for next summer. Much credit is due Mr. Coughlin for the way in which the whole hike was planned, and for the organization of the whole summer's activities, toward that one goal.

The great totem pole which William Shelton has been engaged, in carving for several years past at Tulalip village, and which has excited the interest of all visitors to the reservation, was erected with appropriate ceremonies on the corner of Wetmore and California streets in Everett, Wednesday, July 26. The pole stands 80 feet above the ground, and is said to be the largest now standing in the Sound country. The, Everett lodge of Redmen undertook to buy the pole and erect. Five thousand or more people witnessed the erection, many of them Indians, from the reservation and elsewhere. The largest contingent was made up from Marysville, about thirty cars of Indians driving down from there, after going through a preliminary program consisting of a song, a dance by, those in costume and marching on the paved streets of Marysville. Amid weirdly chanted songs in honor, of the great chief, Patkanim, and with faces daubed with colored paint, the Indians moved in a swaying circle about the.huge Totem pole. Following the introductory chant, came an Indian love song which in turn was followed by a bit of Indian jazz. The latter evoked howls of appreciation from the crowd. Prior to the opening speech, Rev. Harry Hudson of Bremerton gave an invocation.. Chairman Edward Mills of the dedication committee, next introduced Col. Roland H. Hartley, who spoke on the early days in the West, and pictured vivid recollections of the early Indian wars. Wilfred Steve of Tulalip, made an address on the treaty that the Indians made with the United States in the early eighties. His remarks were greeted with mucli applause. Fisher, chief Sachem of the Redmen of Oregon, next speaker, extended thanks to the city officials of Everett for their part in the dedication of the totem pole on behalf of the Redman and eulogized the work of the Redmen in getting the huge pole for the city.

This was only one of the many stories pictured on the Totem pole which used to be the education of the Indian. "But," concluded Stelton, "the pole is not the Totem of the Indian any longer, for he does not believe in it. This is our Totem," he said,_ as he unfolded the American flag. Tremendous applause filled the air when Shelton uttered these words. With the singing of "America" the Indian ceremonies were concluded. Aug. 16-17 ? TRIP TO MT. CONSTITUTION What could'bTmore ideal than this, an oeean ride in the moonlight, a short tramp to a lovely island lake, a good, sound sleep under the firs in a fme camping park, and what follows? Last Friday afternoon at 4:30, Mr. Rahskopf led a party of twenty-eight Normalites to the rare beauties of Orcas Island. The group boarded.the Verone at 4:30 for Olga, a little settlement on Orcas Island, and reached their destination at 7:30. On the way over, a most delectable supper was eaten, songs were sung, and a general good time indulged in, on the launch. A car was hired to transport the commissary and dunnage to the permanent camp three miles up the trail to Mt. Constitution. This was Cascade Lake Camp, and a very pretty camp it is, tod. In expectation and preparation for the climb of the next day, everyone -rolled in their blankets early." At dawn's first appearance the ambitious adventurers also made their appearance, clamoring for breakfast. Some of the more energetic fo'.ks found the before-breakfast swims good bracers. All who were desirous of practicing the art of flapping flapjacks were given the opportunity to become expert in this line. Wondrous were the appetites, an-cakes, bacon and syrup! While Miss Woodard watched camp, the party started up trail to Mt. Constitution. It was a very gradual ascent and ^no difficulties were encountered. Quite a haze and fog was present, but the view from the summit .was grand in spite of that. Surely Puget Sound is wealthy in its beauty spots! Mountain Lake, another peaceful blue lake, was visited on the campward trail. On Orcas Isle, deer are numerous and many of the party were fortunate enough to catch glimpses of them! Great tracts of timbered lands on this island make up the Moran State Park. Buns, bacon, fried eggs, fried potatoes and cantaloupes were heartily consumed The time was fast flying, but was on our return to camp. most fully lived, every minute of it. Some more swimming in the warm waters of Cascade Lake, and the party hiked down the trail to the boat almost reluctant to leave. Jennie Haggeman's delicious clam chowder helped appease our. regrets at leaving Orcas Island. As we came some, the sea was rough but this only added a thrilling touch of excitement again. The group wished to thank Mr. Rahskopf for his excellent leadership; the 'eats committee" for their exceedingly: good food, Dean Woodard, in her .capacity as a sponsor, Mr. Roy A. Geer and Mr. Lee Stewart, pilots of the good launche Verone.

It all, depends upon our mental attitude." We learn in psychology the significance of environment in molding tone's character, and so it is with W s mind in determining a bright or gloomy future. Prosperity jbeo-ins in the mind or in other words it is created mentally before, it Ian possibly become a reality. '' The stream of plenty will nor flow Ward-the stingy, doubting thought." . No matter .how. much one irjay long for prosperity, a miserable, poverty-mental attitude will close all°the ways to it. We must, think .prosperity: before we can come to it. I . It is being discovered by the prominent psychologists of the day that thought plays a very important part in our lives and forms part k the character. And so, if we allow the-fear thought or the ideas fliat comforts, happiness, opportunities for travel were not meant for us, they will incorporate themselves into our very lives and our conditions" wiir harmonize with our thoughts. While if we would re-memlber as the quotation goes: "We are creations of our own thought," it would be possible to surround ourselves with an atmosphere of abundance and plenty. - ...... i And so as we continue with our studies, let us think of our future as*one full of prosperity and-happiness, and remember that before we can.become successful we must first have the right mental attitude. * ^ w * v gt;•'•••• • ,-B.

I -wish others to live their lives, too, up to their highest, fullest and best. To that end I pray that I may never meddle, dictate, interfere, give advice that is not wanted, nor-assist when my services are not needed. If I can help people I'll do it by giving them a chance to help themselves; and if I can uplift or inspire, let it be by example, inference and suggestion, rather than by injunction and dictation.

RECREATION FACILITIES The History and Social Science Department extends its good wishes for a good vacation to all summer school students and hopes to welcome you back this fall; . , r?r The: depart toward departmental :Wbrki ^efpre: you; enroH next ^ For years the Bellingham State Normal School has boasted the unique advantage of having a snow-capped mountain peak in her back yard. She also boasts that on a clear day from a point ten minutes from her back door, one gets a view of Mt. Baker and the Sisters, toward the north, the jagged peaks of the Canadian Coast Range, across the bay and far away toward the southwest, the beutiful Olympics dominating the horizon. Most mortals would think that such a panorama of lofty mountain ranges were sufficient gift from the gods, but Bellingham has yet greater evidence of their partiality. The quiet waters of Puget Sound, dotted with innumerable islands vie with the mountains in scenic beauty and attractiveness. At a normal school in California, a friend said to the writer, "You see, at Santa Barbara the mountains come down to the sea." At the Bellingham Normal we can boast that the mountains came down "to the.sea, plunged in and lifted up their heads! For three years, organized parties of Normal school faculty and students have made the ascent of Mt. Baker during the summer quarter. The annual marathon to the top of Mt. Chuckanut is a tradition of long standing. Every year groups of faculty and students have climbed Mt. Constitution, on Orcas Island, the combination of boat trip and mountain climbing affording a never-to-be- forgotten pleasure. This year a ten mile hike to the top of the Hannegan Pass was added to the long list of out-of- door attractions at the B. S. N. S. But-^-says many a worthy student— I haven't the time, money or energy for these mountain trips. To all such, we hasten to say that the Bellingham Normal School is unsurpassed in accessibility to little gems of scenic beauty in addition to the vantage point of Sehome Hill, which gives the wonderful panorama, mentioned above. .The year book in tie, office of-the' Dean of Women shows t h a t ' various groups have sought out these beauty spots during the summer quarter. During the very busiest season, the Aletheians had a breakfast in the Glen, mossy, fern-banked, o'er-topped with stately firs. They had just two hours to spend, and every minute was chock full of fun and inspiration, because it required just five minutes to get from the front door of the Normal building to the breakfast table in the Glen. The Y.-W. C.^A. had a supper on the top of Sehome when fire permits were impossible. The girls were not denied their hot coffee, however, for this scenic spot is so near to the campus that the steaming coffee was carried by sturdy arms from the Home Economics Department to the top of Sehome. The panorama of mountains, islands and bay in sunset splendor was all the more appreciated because of obstacles surmounted. Our beautiful Sunset Trail leading to the Heights was the scene of merry making, when the old girls of Edens Hall entertained the homesick new ones at the beginning of the quarter, with a "marsh-mallow roast. Another wooaed trail, built by Mr. Olson, former member of the Board of Trustees, leads to Flat Rock, overlooking Happy Valley. Dead. Man's Point, which can be reached in thirty minutes, was the scene of another marshmallow roast on great rocks, where the music of lapping waves and the glory of the sunset path of gold; will long be remembered by the Alethians. Squalicum Beach furnished bathing and a beach fire for breakfast to the men of the school, while Birch Bay was much appreciated by the Sour Doughs as a pi ace for swimming and preparing a camp fire supper.

Tuesday night, Aug. 15 is set aside by the social committee for a good time of some description. Mazil Tyler was at Lawrence, her home town, over Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Mrs. Emma Irish, of Olga Island, was a guest of Nonee and Mildred Cope. Aug. 16-17 1— Dance at Edens Hall. The concensus of opinion among those attending the dance at Edens Hall last Monday evening is that the affair was well worth while. The floor was in fine condition after it was "waxed." The orchestra consisted of a piano, played by students, and a banjo ployed by Carroll Haeske. The only thing regretted about the dance is that there was no two-step on the program. Another dance is arranged for Monday, from six-fifteen to seven-thirty, and everyone is invited. •'——-Aug. 16-17 ?—:—- Dodd's Dozen Pearl Bailey, Helen Smith and Hazel Harris all went on the Mt.

President Waldo in an interesting talk on Wednesday, spoke in detail upon the needs of well trained and competent teachers for every child irTthe United States. He said that the time was very near at hand when an individual with but a high school education plus nine weeks training was not sufficiently prepared for a teaching position and would not legally be able to teach. Two years of Normal training beyond high school will be the minimum. The state of Idaho has taken the "advance step of raising the standards of certification and should be congratulated. In brief, President Waldo said that teachers should be so liberally compensated as to be able to have, those things essential to the proper mode of living in the best society. One other topic greatly stressed was the needs of our Normal school today and in the immediate future. Some of the points and needs introduced are as follows: A dormitory for men of the school. A larger tract of ]and for campus" grounds. • A large, well-equipped gym for the young women and one for the men. A library with sufficient capacity to take care of all the reading needs of the student body and of the faculty. An. assembly room able to seat with ease 2,250 people; a science room, and a hall for Manual Arts. In conclusion, our president said that just as strong a teaching force as can be found anywhere in the United States, brimful of life and vitality is always es-. sential to an institution of this sort, and that the teacher and student should by all means work co-operatively and fairly. -Aug. 16-17 ?

Should Sunday not be a day of rest and a little different from the other days of the week ? The president of the American Medical Association says that it is only common sense to rest one day a week. Is group recreation a good form of quietness for Sunday ? Have you ever passed an athletic field on Sunday where baseball was being played and heard the terrible noises rending the atmosphere? Should we then, play tennis on Sunday? So President Waldo puts the question. — Aug. 16-17 ? - M. Ansorge (after finishing state arithmetic exam): "Ye Gods I forgot to plaster my ceiling!"

BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 1 9 17 No. 23 Rural Life Conference PLAYS MAP 31 Held March 12 and 13 Rehearsals for the Philo-Aletheian play for Saturday, March 31st, have begun. It is the purpose of these two literary societies to persent, free of charge, three one-act plays, varying in style and nationality. No attempt will be made to furnish elaborate stage settings, the whole motive being one of simplicity and suggestion rather than ornamentation. Everything in connection with the plays is the product of free labor. It is hoped that this attitude will be appreciated by the audience, as an attempt at co-operative artistic expression. The lack of admission fee should not give the impression of triviality or of lack of quality. The plays are being produced under the direction of Mr. Glenn Hughes, former director of the Forest Theater at Carmel-by-the- Sea, California, and now of the English faculty. The caste for the play follows: "A Pot of Broth," by W. B. Yeats. The Beggar Roy Bean John Coneely John Estes Libby Coneely Mabel Smith "A Bright Morning," by Serafin and Joaquin Alvarez Quintero. Dova Laura Jennie Olsen Don Gonzalo Albert Booman Petra Mildred Bozorth- Quarrito Herbert Potter "Thieves," by Glenn Hughes. Annie Bernice Welch First Man Bert Foster Second Man Reuben Aim Third Man Smith Carleton Shorty Herbert Davis ALUMNI. Miss Pearl Frost '14 attended the RuraJ Life conference held at the Normal. She is not teaching this year, but is staying at her home at Wiser Lake. She was the guest of Elsie and Mary Burk, while in town. The Western Washington Rural Life conference held its meeting at the Bellingham State Normal on Monday and Tuesday, March 12 and 13. The conference was a great success, and much interest was displayed. Its success is due, in large measure, to Miss Keeler and Mr. Hulse, of the rural department of the Normal, and to Miss Everett, county superintendent of Whatcom county. After two selections from the Normal Choral club, the conference was formally opened by an address of welcome by W. H. Campbell, secretary of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, Co-operation was the keynote of his address. "It is through co-operation that the Bellingham Normal school has become the largest and best equipped Normal school of the state," said Mr. Campbell. So it is the cooperation of the people of Skagit, Whatcom and San Juan counties, that has made this conference possible, and it is through continued co-operation that they will achieve success." State Supt. Josephine C. Preston gave the response on behalf of the conference. She spoke of the practical value of a meeting of this kind. "I think it is most opportune, when we are all working in the State of Washington for the civic betterment of rural life that we should get together and talk over the problems we are all interested in," said Mrs. Preston. She spoke of the laws lately enacted by the state legislature and how they will benefit the schools. She quoted Mr. Foght's statement that two-thirds of the teachers heretofore have been trained in institutions while one-third have received their certificates through examination. This condition will be remedied by the new law, she said. Mrs. Preston spoke also of the provision made for high schools whereby they will be paid for educating the boys and girls who come in from the country districts. failed and he left one day carrying away with him a few belongings tied up in a handkerchief. The great house remained—an emblem of a wasted life. "There are three great building blocks that we must put into the structure of life," said Prof. Klemme. "They are work, education, and assistance. We must work, and work hard in order to accomplish anything. Genius is ninety per cent perspiration,," continued the speaker. "And we must have love—love for our work and for our fellowmen, and this love must express itself in service—service to humanity." School Directors' Meeting. The meeting of the.school directors was held in room 108 at 11:20 Monday. Mr. Robertson of Blaine, acted as chairman. The very interesting and instructive address was given by 0. N. Kerns, Supt. of schools of Skagit county. The directors' aim, said Mr. Kerns, should be "to serve the child and the community." He emphasized the value of co-operation, mentioning a few instances within his own experience and also the disastrous results of 'fussing,' and 'spitework' in the community. Mr. Kerns stated that "the teacher should live in the community, take an interest in it and advertise the school work." The speaker next mentioned the responsibility of directors, cautioning them against employing a teachr "on her handwriting." "Don't hire the first teacher that applies; look her up. And don't wait until one conies" along. Hunt one up and when you get a good one pay her what she is worth." Calendar Monday, March 19, 1917.—Holiday.

H.: "I am trying to get a head." V. M.: "Goodness knows you need one." "A Wasted Life" was the subject of Prof. E. J. Klemme's address before the conference Monday forenoon. Prof. Klemme offered the illustration of the man who built a great house on a promontory jutting out into the Mississippi river, hoping to make a fortune out of pig iron.

Read the "Survey" for March 3, on the health insurance movement. In the March 'Review of Reviews" is an article on "Our New Caribbean Islands." It is a history of the islands and of the attempts on the part of the United States government to purchase them. It was from one of these islands (St. Croix) that Alexander Hamilton came to America, and now we pay sentimental tribute to one of our revolutionary heroes by acquiring the land of his former home. The question "Why do we need the islands?" is answered in this article. To "follow up" what Miss Norton says about specializing read "Should Specialists Specialize?" in the last number of the "Educational Review." It is by Pres. Foster of Reed College. Mr. A.

Collars Collars L 10 THESPIANS DEFEAT ILL In a close and exciting basketball contest last Thursday afternoon the Thespians triumphed over their closest rivals, the Rural Lifers, and •won undisputed right to be called champions of the different clubs in school. The score, which was 43 to 30, does not indicate the closeness of the contest. Each point was stubbornly contested and there was a great sigh of relief from the Thespian supporters as the final whistle blew. The Rural Lifers had been defeated earlier in the season by the Thespians but as the game was very close it was decided to give the Farmers another chance. They, however, were unequal to the task and the best team won. The Rural Lifers have made some reparation, however. They journeyed to Laurel last Saturday night and with the able assistance of one Sam Carver they took the home team into camp, score 32 to 20. Our Sam, by the way_ annexed 18 points. The line-up of the Thespian-Rural Life game: Rural Life—Hughes and Berry, forwards; Haracich, center; Davenport and Ford, guards. Thespians—Miller and White, forwards; Rockey, center; Ansett and Davis, guards. Summary—Field goals: "White, 8; Ford, 7; Rockey, 4; Berry, 3; Davenport, 3; Miller, 3; Anstett, 2; Hughesj 1; Haracich, 1. A rare class of seventh and eighth grade boys are taking cooking under the direction of Miss Ormsby and her student assistant, Miss Ruth Moore^ every Wednesday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:00, in the east wing of the building. What causes this unwonted and startling desire on the part of the boys is a question. Perhaps, since the advent of women into what had formerly been considered men's exclusive field of labor, tne boys, with commendable foresight, are learning to cook in order that they might have future dinners prepared when the tired women folk come home from the city council or the blacksmith shop. Ro1: perhaps they are unduly influent fed by their immediate environment! Be that as it may, they take I-Q their work with interest. This day saw in the class room much activity, without confusion as every boy applied himself to his particular duties. The boys wore aprons of various sizes and designs, though every one was clean and white. One lad even sported a chef's hat. They might have been preparing a grand feast at the Waldorf-Astoria, so keen was their interest. At intervals the teachers corrected or advised, but in a most unobtrusive manner. They work at twelve tables, two boys at each. On the top of each table is a gas stove, below the the drawers containing the necessary cooking utensils. Each boy prepares and cooks his own dish. System is the keynote of the work. Every utensil has it place, every towel, after being washed^ is hung on its rack in the corner. The menu consists of anything from a mulligan stew to a doughnut. One day they baked apple pies. One boy, proudly displaying a crisp pie, hot from the oven, offered a bite to the writer, who readily accepted. That pie had one grievous fault there was not enough of it. If it's a stylish, natty, serviceable, shoe you want, remember Raymond's-the real shoe store. Geo. F. Raymond. 110 East Holly St. GEO. F.

Brown Studio Elk and Holly The Social-Democratic club held its regular meeting on Thursday evening, March S. Roll call was answered by an answer to the question: "What does democracy mean to you?" There were some very good answers given. Mrs. Walter Lidell played two piano selections. The main part of the program was a debate on the question. "Resolved, that the United States government should place an embargo on foodstuffs." The affirmative was upheld by Mrs. Term iat, Miss Thompson and Mrs. Shepherd, while the negative was supported by Dr. Herre, Mrs. Edmonds and Miss Jewell. The affirmative described the very serious conditions especially among the wage-earners of this country due to the high cost of living, and described the food riots in New York. They offered the evidence of statistics to prove that foodstuffs have risen in price in an alarming way and maintained that something must be done to alleviate the conditions; and the remedy they proposed was the embargo. The negative said that an embargo was not the remedy that was required, but rather an improved method of distribution so as to avoid the middlemen's profits and the waste of the present system. They proved by historical evidence that an embargo can never be effective, and defeats its own purpose. An embargo, . they said? brings loss and discouragement to the farmers, and we cannot afford to injure our agricultural class. The debate was lively and good" arguments were offered on both sides. The affirmative won by one vote. COLLEGE CLUB TO HAVE BIG T i l Some good times coming! Be sure to save the dates: April 20, "College Club Hike"; and May 11, "Annual Picnic and Beach Party."

J. Newbill, on Monday afternoon, in an address on the "Opportunities of the Rural Tetacher." Mr. Newbill told of the change that is taking place in all schools and emphasized the need of the rural teacher "to keep abreast," to be of service to the community. "No teacher can teach from the outside, we must begin inside," he said, "a»m socialize the community. We can develop mind only by contact with the mind, and it is easier to form farmers than to reform them." He declared that the boy is not a bundle of habits and prejudices, and we should teach him not only to make a living but to make life worth while; if Ave would do our duty with the boys in the country school we must harmonize the needs and wants of school and home and touch the life of the community. "Fit children to live as they are to live, not as we are living," advised Mr. Newbill. In showing the importance of rural life he said: "Ninety-five per cent of the criminals never had a plant or animal to care for. Care is the beginning of civilization. Instincts bud and blossom only as they are cultivated and club work will touch the instinct of "care at a receptive stage." "It is not what you study that counts, but what you do about it. Practice of what you study is the goal. Club work is a means of motor expression it connects the community of the home with the foster community of the school. School study and home practice is a forward step. Every boy lt;md girl proceeds fi-om the home and should carry something of service from the school back to the home. The right kind of education must be related to life. In closing he pointed out the "4- square education" the training of head, heart, hand and health and the three great ships of life for the boys and girls as "ownership, partnership and citizenship—ehe great dreadnoughts nothing can put down." Last Thursday evening 130 enthusiastic housekeepers nelfl a winter picnic in the big gymnasium. The various "families" sat in their respective groups and vied with each other in giving their house yells. The Cedars and Nichols Hall outdid the others in strength of numbers only. The various talks all centered around the theme how to keep up nutrition and keep down expense. One "family" displayed a delicious chocolate cake made with only one egg and without milk. One girl told of cookies made with raisins instead of sugar and nut butter as a substitute for shortening; nut butter retails at 12 1-2; cents and Crisco at 30 cents per lb gt; hence a decided saving. One family of two reported that they were having T-bone steaks and such luxuries at a cost of 24 cents each per day. About one-third of the girls have found that they could keep their expenses down to $10 per month, including rent, fuel light and food. Four girls reported that their expenses had averaged only $8 per month. "Boxes from home, I'll bet" commented many a doubting Thomas. Gymnasium games led by Miss Nickerson, were sandwiched in between the discussions. Bernice Welch gave two appropriate readings, these being the only entertainment features of the evening yet all declared the meeting most enjoyable.

We feel that the country life movement will make for the uplift of the country communities. Some of the students know from experience that there is much to be done to build up the country school and the country church. These students, we are sure, are grateful for the opportunity given them to come in closer touch with the workers in the country life movement through the Rural Life conerence. We carry a full live Line of SPALDING S GOODS Normal Book Store We are to have a vacation—brief, it is true—but nevertheless a vacation. Of course we deserve it. The basket ball team deserves it for its sucessful record this winter. The rest of us —well, we deserve it too for we have made successful records of some kind perhaps, it is that we have never once failed to get our lesson plans in on time. Anyhow, we are to have four days to spend as we see fit. The Messenger extends the hope that studies be forgotten and the days be spent pleasantly by all—students and faculty. The talk that Dr. Herre gave in Assembly Friday was so worth while that we feel sure that many of the students would like to preserve it. We therefore print it in full in this issue. . 6 . Spring had come. There had been two sunshiny days— And the sunshine had been somehow different from the sunshine that had come out in the weeks before. And the air— Well, the air had that indescribable something in it That gives you a catch in your throat, And makes you stop suddenly And take a long, deep breath. It was evening Of such a day. The girl was sitting in her room with her books—school books they were— The last slanting rays of that spring sunshine shone in through the window and fell on the table before her, And a breath of that spring air— With the something in it— Blew from the open window against her face; The girl felt suddenly very lonely. In reverie she wandered back to the old farm in one of the Eastern states where she had lived as a child. It was springtime and the meadows were yellow with cowslips, And she gathered armfuls of them. The wood nearby was full of hepat-icas, pink, and blue, and white. The maple leaves were thick on the forest floor But the flowers had come through And had the longer stems for having come up so far. She walked again through those pleasant woods— How last year's ferns crackled as her skirts swished by them! And she walked purposely very close to them. The brook between the two fields was full And there were tiny waterfalls where some rock or stump or log was in the way. If you were careful you could walk on the logs, And jump from one rock to the next; MAY YOU ALL ENJOY YOUR VACATION AND WHEN YOU RETURN REMEMBER THE Normal Grocery P. G. GULBRANSEN, Prop.

Her father was plowing in the field near by— She would follow him, running along in the fresh furrow. The earth was so smooth and felt so soft To her bare feet. It was so smooth that sometimes she must put her hand down too, and feel the soft, velvety surface which the plow had just laid bare. When the day was over she would ride home on the back of one of the horses— All these things the girl lived over As she sat there at her table in her room. The sun had disappeared meanwhile And it had grown quite dark. "Some day I am going back there," she said. Then she got up and turned on the electric light.

NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL BANE Mason Bldg- Bellingham, Wash. In any town or city Where schools are apt to be, There come those days, as all men know, When plays take place, you see. Then all the embryo actors Get busy with some lines, To win a part in the great play— You've seen it many times. In his room before the mirror, With gesticulations wild The would-be actor prances And rehearses long, my child; Little dreaming of some "gazers" Who below look up in glee, For the unsuspecting actor Didn't draw his shade you see. Oh! the graceful gesticulations, As he rages tragically. Now he trips the light fantastic, Now he screams out at "high G" Oh his soul glows with his greatness, Sothern ne'er outstripped his feats, Forgetful of the hour's lateness, —Then a giggle from the street— With a glow down comes the blind. —Did the "actor" really mind?

Michigan Agricultural College. It's some folks' joy to hunt and fish, Or trap the lakes an' streams, And some seeks recreation In dreamin' idle dreams. Some folks is active all the time An' somei when pleasure calls, Jes' polish off the top fence-rails With the seats of their overalls. But if it's me you're askin' What pleasures most divert, I like to hear the harness creak An smell the blessed dirt! I like to hold the handles With the lines around my back, An the blackbirds all a-scramblin, For the bugs along my track. I like it in the mornin' When the breeze is brisk an' cool, An' the kids with their shinin' dinner-pails Go pokin' off to sonool. I like to sort o' feel the wind A puffin' out my shirt An' hear the trace chains jingle An' smell the blessed dirt. I likt to hold the handles Where the hard-head rocks abound. (There's no sport in plowin' If it wa'n't fer stony ground.) I like to hold 'em staedy With a grip that's middlin' strong An' keeps my ribs from gettin' sore With poundin' all day long. The rocks don't catch me nappin' Fer my nerves is al alert— A feller can't be sleepy An smell the blessed dirt. I like to see the horses sweat, An' sweat myself as well. It ain't no harm to horse nor man So fer as I can tell. An' I like to stop an' rest my team, An' loosen up their reins An' slacken up their belly bands, An' straighten out their manes, An pull their collars forward If I think their shoulders hurt, An' sprawl myself upon the ground An' smell the blessed dirt. An' when the bell reminds me That the hour is gettin' late, I like to drop their traces An' drive 'em to the gate. I like to take their bridles off An' really I don't think Of much that I like better Than to watch my horses drink. I like to see 'em snort an' blow An' make the water squirt, After workin' all the mornin' Plowin' up the blessed dirt. The city has no charms fer me That anyone compares With the joy I get in plowin' With a spankin' team of mares. An' when I'm through at evenin' An doin' up the chores, I thank the Lord who lets me work In His big out-of-doors. The farmers' life's the life fer me, An' freely I assert The grandest thing about it Is to plow God's blessed dirt. Buy Your Fuel of, MONTGOMERY FUEL TRANSFER CO.

SCHOLARSHIP IS FULLY EXPLAINED Today I wish to cyall your attention for a few minutes to one attribute which I think should be the possession of every teacher—an attribute everywhere relatively uncommon and in this country much rarer and held in much less popular esteem than in any other country unless it be in England —And yet it is one which lies well within the grasp of every person here —it is scholarship. By scholarship I mean definite, accurate and well disciplined learning or knowledge of some subject or subjects. The scholar must therefore he a frontiersman, a dweller on the borderland of the known, a scout whose mission it is to blaze pathways and to push forward, even if by ever so little, the boundaries of human knowledge and thus lessen the realm of superstition and darkness. What are some of the essentials in assisting one to gain scholarship? First we may place that most necessary thing, the most valuable of individual possessions, good health. This may and should include muscular strength, but it must include endurance and that dynamic force of the physical organism which means work power. Of all people, teachers should have sound health and that knowledge of hygiene which enables one to maintain a high state of efficiency, but I sadly fear that very many of them are much below par physically. Zeal or enthusiasm is a factor of great importance if one wishes to attain scholarship. Of course zeal should be tempered with the saving grace of common sense or discretion, else one would be like the young fellow from the city who went to work for a farmer in the sage brush country. He was told to go out and drive a flock of sheep into the corral. He should have returned in less than half an hour, but when two hours had elapsed the farmer went to look him up. He found an almost naked and weary but triumphant young man fastening the corral gates. When the city boy could catch his breath he explained that "I got them all in right away except these two and they just wouldn't go in till just now." As he pointed to those two the farmer's eyes fairly popped out as he saw two huge jack rabbits which lay by the fence, their panting sides testifying to the misguided zeal of the youth. Enthusiasm is one of the finest attributes of youth but one's zeal should not run away with him. Yet he who has lost enthusiasm has lost something which nothing else can replace. Something has died in him and he never will go very far himself or inspire others with either that burning zeax for knowledge that makes the true scholar or the passion for service that distinguishes the highest type of citizens. Perseverance lt; thac oft times bothersome trait of stick-to-it-iveness, is likewise of first rate importance. No one can expect to become a real master of any kind of knowledge without keeping everlastingly at it. It not only takes lots of time to conquer the difficulties and assimilate the intricacies of a subject but it takes dogged fixity and tenacity of purpose to keep one on the single track when there are so many and such, varied calls from every side. The necessity of earning one's daily bread, weariness of body or mind, pleasure, society, new and apparently more attractive studies, ill-hearth, all these and many more serve to divert many from the goal once eagerly and light-heartedly sought. In urging scholarship, do not think that it is necessary to burrow into something abtruse or remote from common life. The ideal way is to take up one's vocation and develop it so as to be master of it in all its ramifications. When one works at something which he joys in because he is able to survey the whole field from its simplest beginnings to the misty boundaries where it fades away into infinity, he is able to get results and he is able to enthuse students and fellow workers. The next most satisfactory thing is to have an avocation apart from one's vocation. Most of us need and enjoy an avocation apart from one's vocation. Most of us need and enjoy an avocation and it is possible for all to have something apart from the struggle for one's daily bread in which true scholarship may be attained. Whether one develops knowledge of his vocation or his avocation he must do more than merely become more adept or better informed than the average person is in that line, otherwise no matter what his store of learning he will be in danger of becoming merely a person of erudition, a pedant. For true scholarship concerns itself with much more than the original narrow bounds which apparently separate the various forms of intellectual activity into distinct and unrelated units. Here is a man who starts out to investigate the minute anatomy of barnacles, another who investigates the life of the butterflies of Borneo; by and by% one thing leading to another, each of them discovers the principle of natural selection, admittedly the most important contribution to civilization made during the 19th century. Here we have a man spending years in searching out hidden stories of the past as revealed in fossils; another is decades digging out ruins and deciphering inscriptions of lost civilizations. Eventually each of them by divers and devious paths arrives at a poin where he looks upon life as a Avhole, untrammeled by superstition or tradition, testing and accepting or rejecting all things in accordance with one vital principle, truth. No one can long pursue a subject until he is lead into other and apparently wholly unrelated subjects. In order to get a wider grasp and a truer perception of his own line he must take up other lines. These give him not only additional interpretative now- Eye strain and study are enemies. If you suspect eye strain see Woll he knows eyes. 205 W. Holly er, but thus only does he obtain true scholarly perspective. The old time idea of knowledge being divided off into separate water tight compartments goes glimmering. Then when we find out that all forms of knowledge are interdependent and merge inseparably one into another we soon come irresistably to the the conclusion that all things must be judged by the one standard, truth. For nothing can be true in one subject of research and false in another; one or the other or perhaps both, are mistaken and all must search unremittingly and unitedly for the truth.

C A N D Y -*- iit$fiam.fl)asH, 1 1 9 E a s t Hollv S t . -what your elders tell you. But I say unto you that if you cling to ideas -which cannot endure investigation, that if your mental process cannot stand the piercing glare of the white light of truth, that you are stagnant and that mentally you are a derelict. For the hundred thousand and more years that man has Uvea upon this orb there have been just as keen minds as there are today or as there ever will be. But new conditions bring new responses and new adaptions to environment must result. With the mastery of natural forces, the systematizing of knowledge and the overthrow of superstition, new and larger concepts of truth must arise. Therefore each new generation must advance beyond the general average of the previous one. If not, gradual deterioration must result for it is a law of life that living things must either advance or decay. There can be no permanent halting place, for the goal must ever be a trifle beyond the limit already reached. If the generation to which you belong does not reach a higher plane than the one to which I belong, then there is something wrong with me and my colleagues. In like manner those whom it is your privilege to teach and to bring into the world must see truth more clearly than you do or the race is losing ground. What is the value of scholarship in general, and particularly to you, girl of the one teacher school and boy wrestling with obdurate children of the stump lands? Its greatest value I have already indicated in part, that it compels one to cleave to the truth regardless of where it leads, that it substitutes proven truth for one's personal opinion or what one would like to believe. The unscholarly person has an idea that the specialist believes what he wishes or what he would like to believe, but not so. Many, many times he is compelled to give up opinions or beliefs which wrench him to the very depths of his being, but he cannot be true to his highest nature and cling to what is merely pleasant. Sugar kisses canont nourish the soul of truth. Can you stand your own company? Are you bored or oppressed when alone? I am a firm believer in the scriptural injunction "It is not good for a man to be alone," but aside from that sense, could you enjoy an outing by yourself? The scholar is never lonely. While he loves the companionship of man (and woman too) his solitary hours are often his busiest and most enjoyable. Life is too full of interesting and unsolved problems to have any tiresome or lonesome moments, even though card parties and Charlie Chaplin films are far away. I lack time to enumerate other advantages but I must say a word as to the possibilities before you. No one who knows how to read need give up his search for scholarship or his grasp of scholarly ideals. University training is a wonderful time and strength saver, but for the attainment of scholarship it is non essential. One of the most scholarly men I have ever known never attended school after he was twelve years old. Almost every one of human intelligence has some line in which he either has a certain amount of scholarship or can readily attain such. You, primary or intermediate teacher of the rural school, you principal of the two or three teacher school without libraries and science laboratories, have as great an opportunity to attain scholarship as has the college don. Much of what we do in our teaching in both city and country schools is false, is directly opposed to the true way. With your school room as your laboratory you can work out plans and principles which may gradually revolutionize those now in use in most schools. Some of the most noted teachers of this land worked out their ideas and gained fame while teaching a country school. Many of you will become fathers and mothers and you have an even greater-opportunity to add something to the world's knowledge. If your tastes run to science, any bit of out doors will give you more unsolved and even unknown problems than you could work out if you lived a century. Will all this put more money in your purse? Perhaps it will, but probably not. In this country we do not yet regard the scholar, the expert, as one to whom we should entrust things we want done. Very gradually some lines of business have come or are coming to rely upon him, but in personal or public matters we are still prone to think one man's opinion as good as another's, and to sneer at the man versed in the theory of a subject, overlooking the very patent fact that only he who is able to grasp and understand the underlying principles has any true practical knowledge. Some day let us hope, the people in this country will learn that public business, like all other business, must be entrusted to scholarly experts and not to lawyer politicians. In the meantime let us do all we can, individually and collectively, to so widen the boundaries of truth that Special Attention is given to Normal Stndents and Teachers shoe repairing at GARLICKS SHOE SHOP 217 West Holly St. Next door to Northwest Hd'w Co. in time error and came, privilege and militarism, superstition and strife may perish from the earth.

The few good days of springtime that we had were made good use of by the girls here. Tennis was very popular during the day time and several hikes and trips were made. Sunday evening a party took their lunch and had an outdoor feed. Mrs. Powell and Miss Colby were hostesses Sunday evening to the members of the faculty who board at the Hall. The guests of honor were several members of the faculty who formerly boarded here but who have forsaken the small dining room for meals and feeds, they can cook for themselves. Several changes have taken place in the Hall this week. Miss Adelaide Pierre is now one of our happy family, having moved in the first of the week.

CONFERENCE HELD 12 13 (Continued from page i) change and the following officers were elected: President—L. B. Robinson, of Blaine. First vice president—Mrs. J. C. Anderson, Laurel. Second vice president—W. G. Waite of Sunnyside. Sec.-Treas.—W. E. Preston, Glen-dale. A resolution was passed that steps be taken to bring before the Directors of Whatcom County Fair association a protest against cheap concessions of questionable games such as ringing canes, knives, etc., or that these be eliminated at least for the one day (Educational.) Miss Everett suggested that we get something in place of and better than these undesirable features—a pageant for instance. It was advised that the districts throughout tho state join the educational association. The National Educational association meets in Portland, Oregon, the 2d week in July. The Washington State association meets in Tacoma this year. Supt. Mrs. Preston, also C. C. Brass, of the Northwest Journal of Education, were elected to honorary membership of the Whatcom County Directors' association. Miss L. S. Norton gave a splendid talk on "The Training of Teachers at the Normal." Among other things she said that the school directors are responsible for the kind of teachers they employ. Directors and county superintendents should work together in the hiring of the teacher. terment of the rural church was emphasized in both of these talks. Prof. Klemme said that the rural church must adapt itself to new conditions and adopt new methods in order to become the center of community life which it should be. The need of a better organization of Sunday schools in rural communities was emphasized. "Why should not the play instinct be utilized in the Sunday schools as it is in the new types of other schools?" questioned Prof. Klemme. The meetings of the religious section were some of the most valuable during the conference. Women's Section. Miss Sarah Ormsby, of the domestic science department gave a talk on "What Shall We Have for Dinner?" She showed how many diseases and disorders are caused by badly balanced diets, and showed how these could be corrected. Miss Rausch, of the University of Washington, talked on "Practical Helps for the Home." She showed how much energy is wasted through lack of system. Much material is wasted not because of extravagance but because of poor management. Miss Rausch made a strong plea for efficiency in the home—the kind of efficiency that is so effective in business and other professions. HEALTH AND RECREATION SECTION. Miss May Mead, Chairman. Dr. Caperon, representing Dr. Tuttle, of Seattle, gave a valuable lecture to the Social Hygiene class and many of the visitors on bacteriology. The value of cleanliness in all things and of personal hygiene was emphasized. A pamphlet "Health of Rural School children was distributed among the visitors. Religious Section. On Monday in the religious section, addresses were delivered by Prof. Klemme, of Pullman, and by Rev. Robert M. Pratt, of Coupeville. The bet- Demonstration Work in Various Departments.

In the some economics department Miss Ormsby gave practical work on "Refreshments to Serve at Entertainments," deftly putting into practice her recipes while lecturing. Miss McCown talked on "Elaborating on Plain Waist Patterns," illustrating various ideas and giving instructions in collar and cuff designing. A most excellent idea was worked out in her construction of a home made dress form. In the art section', hundreds of examples of the year's work were on display, representing art from the simplest form to difficult charcoal and color sketches. This department was pronounced "wonderful" by the visitors and Normal people are justly proud of it. Mr. T. J. Newbill demonstrated the work of the school and home canning clubs. His expositions in this line are highly appreciated wherever given. The regular manual training work was continued in the wood-working building and visitors were allowed freedom to observe. The costumes worn by Marie Doro as "Oliver Twist" in the Jesse L.- Lasky adaptation of that famous story which will be the Paramount attraction at the American on Friday and Saturday are the same that she wore during the all-star stage revival of that celebrated story. Even the wig which the.fair star wears as Oliver is made from her own hair and is the same that was designed for her in the spoken drama. The Lasky Company made exhaustive research into London conditions of the period in which the story was written and have reproduced everything with great fidelity and attention to detail. The cast includes the noted star, Ho-bart Bosworth, as Bill Sikes; Tully Marshall, the splendid character actor, as Fagin; Raymond Hatton as The Artful Dodger; Elsie Jane Wilson as Nancy, and James Neill as Mr. Brown-low. The photography is of the usual Lasky excellence. • A I Beauty Is An All Pervading 3 I Presence. 3 ^ When a young lady, attractively attired, enters your presence she ^ gt; seems to bring with her an atmosphere of freshness and joy If her clothes lt; fe are backed up with a good mentality you enjoy her presence and seek her C companionship. ^ One does not need a large wardrobe to be attractively dressed, but C a tasty one; which does not necessarily mean expensive. • Wahl clothes offer you an opportunity to be attired tastefully at £ modest prices.

A. meeting, a play "Tired of Missions" was presented by several of the high school and Normal girls. The play was preceded by a reading "The Master's Voice," by Mrs. Simpson. In the first act of the play, a group of American girls were discussing the Christmas box that their missionary society was going to send to Korea. Several of the girls said that they were tired of missions, and they decided to send only a small box. In the next scene lt; the workers in the foreign field were shown, and we saw how very hard it is to carry on the work of the missionary nurses, doctors and teachers, without the support of the people here in America. At the close of the play, all the girls realized how much their help is needed in the foreign field and how much every little thing that one may do is appreciated.

W) WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 4, 1937 * Live And ^ Learn By Henry Francis What with all the last week's excitement and stviS can't decide whether I'm exh. . ^ted over the forthcoming vacation or depressed about those nightmarish ordeals that mark the day of reckoning. As long as we are living in the middle of a streamlined age it seems as though a little modernization of tests wouldn't be amiss. Ought to be very simple to remake the finals into snappy little numbers that could be breezed right through. HEEBIE JEEBIES Cornell university has bought a 100-acre farm to further its practice of producing' nervous breakdowns on pigs and goats. This is an innovation in the scientific world to find the cause and effects of nervous disorders. It may be new to science but the training school has been at it «nscientifically for quite some time; in lieu of goats, however, they have student teachers, or is there any difference? .Anyhow the results are the same. WOO IN A PEW Doc McKesver's brainchild, the Lovers' church, is going full blast down in Oklahoma City. They seem to have' a grand old time - pitching the woo around those stiff-backed benches. Wonder if the good Doctor is figuring on any of it sloshing around the pulpit? His latest hue and cry was raised in lampooning the school boards for not allowing what he calls "these beautiful motherly women" teachers to be married. Guess he didn't realize that they couldn't get a husband or they wouldn't be teaching. COPY CATS Uncle Sam,got more than he bargained for with the unconstitutional AAA, and it's not over yet. It took a couple years for the idea to sink in but the Brazilian government finally got it. Now they have de- Tided to make a bonfire out of 70 per cent of their coffel crop to keep us rich Americans (who drink half of it) from getting it too cheap. That, after inveigling the Secretary of Stale to leave coffee on the free list of imports. Wait till people start dunking their doughnuts in milk or something as distasteful, Brazil will find it's another matter to tamper with our religion; besides it was our idea, the old copy cats. „ ON CONSISTENCY A staunch friend of the rubber stamp industry rose up in righteous indignation and stamped his foot down not long ago. The reason for his wrath was that well known term, "rubber stamp congress," as applied to our present solons. Here are the pros and cons in a nutshell. Rubber stamps and congressmen Are very wear resistant; Bat congressmen flit to and fro While stamps are so consistent. SWEET AND SHY Guess everyone had Wallis Simpson , Windsor all wrong, at least that's what a "we're just sisters under the skin," female newspaper correspondent '•• writes from Prance. Shown up in her true lights at last, it reveals her as just a little home body who really hates all this terrible publicity. Wally, according to the journalist, hasn't had a decent thing to wear in ages and ages and just because she orders two or three simple little things all the old meanies in town started tush, tushing at her extravagance. Probably true. All it needs now to make it perfect is to hear her explaining to the Duke how her other husbands misunderstood the poor little girl. RESTING Spent a couple of hours trying to find a position in a library chair so I could rest and study simultaneously but had to gbe up. If I rested I could'nl study and if I studied I coudn't rest—so I rested. That wasn't too good though. Suppose these chairs weren't made for rest-ingi so have to go find a bed. See you next fall. Board Elects Officers In Final Session Summer Recreation Program Varied; Main Features Include Cruises, Hikes, Picnics, Sports Closed Week Again Viking Positions Filled Soupkup, Hinchcliffe Selected New Editors; Band Uniforms To Be Purchased An intensive session of business concerning fulfillment of positions on the school paper, passage of the budget, and publication of the Blue Book marked the final spring quarter Board of Control meeting last Wednesday. Appointments were made for editor and business manager of the Western Viking for summer and fall quarters. Sele'ctions were as follows: summer quarter, Sybil Hinchliffe, editor; Rex Rolle, business manager; fall quarter, Clarence Soukup,' editor; Earl Eckert, business manager. BUDGET PASSED Appointment of similar positions on the 1938 Klipsun was deferred until next fall.. The Board voted final passage of the budget for the coming fiscal year in which was included an appropriation of funds for the purchase of band uniforms.. Florence Lund was granted the editorship of the Blue Book for the second successive year.. Miss Lund promised that several changes would be made in the publication. NEIL REPORTS A report on Campus day was submitted by Ralph Neil, chairman of the event. Neil suggested that henceforth Campus day be always held late in May. As President Don Zylstra will not be attending school this summer, he was granted a leave of absence until the fall quarter. It was announced at the adjournment of the meeting that the Board of Control picnic will be held this evening at Lakewood. o Funds Granted for Athletic Field President Fisher announced Wednesday that Governor Martin had honored a request for $3000.00 from the WWC trustees to finish the new athletic field. Work on the new field has been progressing slowly, since the project is large and only two men have been employed to level the top soil. The new appropriation- is expected to make it possible to have the job completed by next fall. Since the site of the field was once a swamp, the black top soil sank in many places the last year, necessitating the leveling process. Although much dirt is being trimmed from the sides and higher levels of the field and dumped into the hollows, it will be necessary to haul many additional yards of soil to put the field in suitable condition for seeding. W*»en completed the new athletic field, together with the new gymnasium, will give WWC one of the finest athletic departments in the state. The football and baseball fields will be separate and present plans call for three new tennis courts just back of the gymnasium. When plans are completed, provisions will be made for minor and intramural sports as well. o Boat trips, play hours, hikes, picnics, water sports, and excursions constitute the summer recreational program.. The expense of this program has been fixed at the lowest possible cost with the hope that it will be within the reach of every student First on the program comes the 8 miles climb up Chuckanut ridge on June 19. All students wishing to climb Skyline ridge on the following Saturday, June 26, must practice on this one. On June 22 there will be an all school picnic and salmon bake at the Rocks Tuesday, June 29, everyone is invited to go for a swim at Toad lake, which is accessible by streetcar. July 6, is the date of another streetcar excursion to Whatcom Falls park. VISIT VICTORIA The main excursion of the summer, that to Victoria, will be held on Saturday, July 10. A CPR boat has been engaged for this trip. The price will be $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under twelve. July 13, |.here is to be a supper at Galbraith's lumber camp, with a hike along the new Samish highway. The week-end Mount Baker trip will be on July 16, 17, and 18, the round trip costing about $4.00.. There will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. C, to visit the Beleek shop, linen shops, Chinatown, and Stanley Park and continue on £o Horseshoe Bay. The fare will be around $1.00.. LOCAL MILLS ON LIST On July there will be an inspect tion trip to the Bellingham Pulp and Paper mills which will take two hours. The" trip to Skagit over Saturday and Sunday is an unexcelled trip on up to Rockport to the hydroelectric station. This will cost about $2.50, and will be held on July 24 and 25. This completes the schedule for the first term. The second term starts out with a trip to Hannegan pass July 30 and 31 which will cost about $3.50. Next will be the sailing trip to Cypress island, an evening sail on August 3. The climb up Mount Constitution will be held August 7. The All School picnic at Lakewood will come on August 10. This term closes .with an excursion to Friday Harbor to visit the Oceanographic station, a trip costing about $1.00. Medical examination will be required of all hikers.. Klipsun Released Tuesday, 7, Thon Announces Margaret Thon, editor of the Klipsun, has set the date for its release. Annual Klipsuns will be ready for all students on Tuesday, June 8, at the associated students office. "Come early and avoid the rush," is Tony's parting advice. By delaying the Klipsun a few days a page of Campus day snapshots could be included. These.will add humor to the book. KLIPSUN MAKEUP NEW Klipsun staff members have worked to complete 96 pages of school life. This includes their specialty of eight pages of candid campus shots. The makeup will be different from any that has been used in former Klipsuns, Editor Thon tells of the mystery connected. The theme and cover of the book will be revealed when Tuesday arrives for the annual's release. RUMMAGE SALE ANNOUNCED This year a rummage sale will be sponsored by the Klipsun staff to sell all snap shots which were taken for the Klipsun. A very small fee permits them to be carried away. Photography expenses will be paid out of the funds made. All men's and women's sports, clubs, snapshots, and class pictures will be sold at 10 and 25 cents. 0-, Hot Little Girls Return Slowly From Sunset Prexy Commends Cooperation of Students, Faculty Assemblies Make Fine Record; PE Building Great Asset Different Examination Schedule Tried Out "Oh, I . really would just o-o-o-ve to go, but, gee, it's impossible! This is closed week." Apologetic gushings similar to this will be in order starting this evening and continuing until Monday as the dread zero hour approaches when quarter exams are given to WWC students, and evenings are devoted to sweating knowledge from books instead of perspiration from dancers. The examination schedule adopted for this quarter avoids the possibility of two successive tests for any one student. Any heavy tests loads are to be reported to Miss Cummins for revision. Classes meeting at nine, eleven, and two o'clock receive their tests on Wednesday; classes meeting eight, ten, one, and three o'clock get theirs on Tuesday. School corridors are expected to be barren^ of bustling students the latter portion of next week, as practically all work for the quarter will be concluded by Wednesday afternoon with the exception of about a half dozen classes held over until Friday.

Anonymity Out The Western Viking is in no way responsible for the mimeographed sheet placed for distribution beside last Friday's Vikings. The Western Viking never publishes anon-myous material and has nov connection with any group that does. The Last Word: Yes, this is the last paper. It is with a mixed feeling of regret and thanksgiving that the present editor leaves the Viking. The editor is sorry to leave for this reason —he has enjoyed working with the entire staff, the faculty adviser, and the printers. He will miss them. He is glad to finish his term for the same reason that every student is so willing to finish school. Three quarters of editorship have taught much to the retiring editor. Hehas learned to take criticism and use it for advancement. He has taken harsh, unjust criticism and learned how to counter it with rational thinking. He had found out that some people can never be pleased; that some people are continually prejudiced against the school paper—yet these same people buy pencils with erasers on them. The editor has found out that journalism can be advanced to greater heights; that modern journalism has great possibilities. He has learned that confidence coupled with ability is an unbeatable combination; that confidence is an asset in any profession. The experience gained as editor has been undeniably profitable. It has been valuable in many respects. The editor has tried to present an editorial policy with a little thinking behind each comment. He has made good his promise to get the Viking out on time (he slipped once in two quarters.) Still, if he has succeeded in bettering the Viking, it has been made possible through the cooperation of all concerned. So, again, this is the last editorial, the last paper. It's "thirty" for now. and Vacations . . Next week will finish the school year, no more will students fret. About the studies they've had here, or worries they have met. But if they knew the troubles, to which they'll be submitted; dreams would be busted bubbles, and tribulations all acquitted.. Let's peek into the horoscope and see what the summer brings, and try to get the inside dope on vacations (?) and such things. The lakes, the mountains, and seashore will find their advocates, Mosquitoes, bugs, will feast galore; the ir-huger ne'er abates Strange to the winged tormenters' stings most folks are unawre. There is no limit to the things a vacationist can bear. A boiling copper sun that smites like boiling lava on the run and bites like snapping teeth. Should give the gay blade some remorse—a casket would go well of course—, also a pretty wreath! What good this cynic talk today, it will be left unheeded, each knows the part he has to play—it's old stuff just repeated, ye all insist they can't resist the lure of relaxation. There is no rest for those who test the pitfalls of vacation. Diplomas! Caps and Gowns! Commencement! These words tell us what is meant. Worms! Cocoons! Butterflys! What do these three pictures imply? As Freshies were pretty much a worm, with three years of studies through which to squirm. Wonder if we'll ever learn a thing before the final bell does ring. As Sophomores we have to pull in our head, and in our cocoons appear quite dead. Our last year is nearly o'er, when as a butterfly well soar. We'll fly from our Alma Mater, but we will always come back for more. Goodbye Graduates and Good Luck! Leaves From The Green Forest In this issue we make our BOUGH to the public.

So we will leave you, now—or as the little girl said when she sat on the ice, "My tale is told!" o "How come they call you a yes man?" "I simply don't no." Poetry ELEGY From the.leaves of an unopened book There sounded a weary sigh, The Bookworm crawled out for a look At students lolling by. Adjusting his specs, he perceived Students crossing the grass; He joined them, for he believed They'd study for their next class. Unmourned by the rest of the school His body has never been found; For the students went to the Swimming pool And the poor bookworm was drowned. —Exchanged. Fo rum Hats off to the Senior class! We wish you all the success and future happiness in the world! Your clever pageant was well representative of the many school activities in which you have participated the last three years. We will miss you much, but happy at your achievement. In losing you, we will lose many who have attained high scholastic records and high activity points. You have entered into the spirit of the school with vim and vigor, always willing to do your share.. When something difficult blocked your path you "pitched right in with a smile on your face." We will never forget our holiday on Easter Monday. More power to you Tory Lund. To all the members of the outgoing class, its officers Ruth Carroll, Bob Barnhart; to its advisers, Lucy Kangley and Dr. E. A. Bond; and last, but not no means least, to the rest of the graduating class of 1937, we shout Three Cheers, Good Luck, and Ultimate Happiness, till we meet again! Strongbow and Atlas Frances Pelegren Two innocent bystanders, John Engebret-esn and Hartman Larson, WWC boys residing at Viking Manor rested this week after almost tearing apart a couple of "Carnival bums" who attacked, them at last week's show.. A certain "Blackie" (and a "Blackie" he was in every respect of the word including complexion, soot, etc.) person, barker for the dancing girls, became enraged when John and Hartman kept throwing harmless quips at him. Leaping from the platform he started pushing and mauling John. One of his gorillas, a gent who would shudder if presented with a cake of soap, and who seemed most unhygienic, took after Larson. Now Engebretsen and Larson are not replicas of Joe Louis,, and Max Schmeling, but are just a couple of nice, well-built youths who do not go about bumping into people in promoting a brawl, but who will not take any debris from anyone, be he an Atlas or a Samson.. As the bath-shy carnival stooge reached for Larson he received a stunning right cross that shook his dust-infested garments, took the wind out of his sails, and sent him sprawling towards the tent. Before Engebretsen could "give it to blackie" (for now the tide had turned, Johnny had him struggling is his supple arms).. The dark one darted back to the platform and began his "Come in and see the dance that—" While a hundred bewildered fans now frozen Into statues looked on and awed at these gallant youths, Larson and Engebretsen turned about and winked at one another.

With a 360-word story staring me in the face, due in three hours, the faculty, with the exception of Charles Lappenbusch and Miss Ruth Weythman, physical education instructors, refused to talk. Mr. Lappenbusch is going to attend the University of Washington this summer where he is working for a master's degree in physical education. Lappy plans on doing a little advertising for WWC on the side of interesting some of the boys down at the University in attending this school next fall. SOME VISIT EUROPE! Miss Ruth Weythman, accompanied by Miss Refa Dick, of Cleveland, Ohio, is going to make a tour of Europe this summer. Miss Dick has taught here for several seasons in the past. They will sail from New York for Bergen, Norway, and from there to North Cape to witness the beautiful midnight sun. They will then go by boat back to Bergen, from there to Oslo, from Oslo to Karlstad. They will visit in Stockholm, Sweden, and that vicinity for a time before leaving for Central Europe. Miss Weythman is going to take colored movies of the tour and is expecting to get some wonderful shots during her trip. MAYBE FRANCE, GERMANY If conditions are not too bad in central Europe a trip will be made through the central countries. They will also attend a national music festival in Germany, and make a tour of France. They will return on the Bremen September 15. Miss Elizabeth Hopper smiled and said that she would like to help, but that she usually spends her vacation in the fall and hadn't planned on anything definite as yet. If I came around later I could get a story. It is rumored that Dr. Cederstrom is going to spend his vacation somewhere in the mountains, but all he says is that he is going to catch up on some sleep. True! (Mountain air is recommended for that.) With but five faculty members going on vacations, the cooperation was none too great for a 360-word story. o 'Juno and Paycock' Strut In Remarkable Guild Masterpiece Famed Trainer Relates Experiences With Wild Animals; Began Career at Seven Years mx "Yes, I've often wondered why I joined the circus; sometimes I think that I've been a fool," answered Bert Nelson, famed animal trainer of the Al G. Barries-Sells Floto circus, when questioned concerning his choice of a career. He nonchalantly rested one well-shod foot on a folding wooden chair, which comprised the furniture in the circus trailer, and lit a cigarette. "I've always loved animals; when I was seven years old I gave public exhibitions with rats and house cats which I had trained myself. Although," continued the handsome gentleman, "I had never seen animals trained, so my methods were all my own. I was one of the discoverers of the reward system, which consists of feeding the animal after .each feat performed. JOINS CntCUS EARLY "I was fourteen years old when I first joined a circus as a star, and have been in one for the last eighteen years. My parents weren't in any way connected with a circus; my mother was an opera singer and my father a mining engineer. The first few years I loved being a performer, because youth loves excitement and the unexpected," he said, smiling at his feminine audience. With rapid mental arithmetic we figured his age. It didn't seem possible that this tall, well-built and neatly dressed young man was thirty- two years old. "I firmly believed, when I entered the circus, that no animal would harm me." Then he dragged out a huge picture album from a trunk on the other side of the curtain which divided the trailer into two minute rooms. "This is a picture of a tiger which jumped at me during a performance. The other tigers, with the exception of Korha, joined in the attack. Korha didn't attack, but she didn't come to my aid either," he remarked laughingly, meanwhile rubbing an almost invisible scar on his right cheek. "I spent three weeks in the hospital that time. LIONS ARE LIKEABLE "Tigers are dirty sneaks and can't be trusted, but lions, now I love them. A lion is a man, honest, and straightforward. He will give warning before attempting an attack, which proves that he is not a coward. In my present performance, :l?, have lions and tigers in the cage at the same time. This is exceedingly dangerous, because lions and tigers are mortal enemies." He got up to put away the album, ^nd then stamped out his cigarette. "Smoking is my one bad habit," he remarked, and then told of receiving $500 for his endorsement of Camels and Lucky Strike cigarettes. "After endorsing a cigarette, I have to smoke that brand exclusively for a year. I also eat Wheaties, and use Colgates' shaving cream," he admitted with a grin.

Cheney, for the second straight year, was second with five as compared to Ellensburg's three. Both sprint events, the 100 and 220 dashes, were swept by Belling-ham, while Cheney held the iron hammer over the heads of WWC and CWC in the weights. Danny Gagnon, the muscular speedster, was easily first place choice for the dashes. He broke the 220 record by such a large margin that the timekeeper's eyes watered from the speed. Although the mighty mite, Capt. Glen Hartman, of Ellensburg, failed the 440 dash mark in the big meet, he has raced it in 49.9, giving him the first spot in easy fashion. PHAIR TAKES THREE SPOTS Bob Phair won for himself a first in three events on the mythical team, the high hurdles, high jump and broad jump. The second record breaker in the three college meet, Bob beat the best competition offered as he.stop watches clocked him in 15.1—a new record. His high jump and broad jump| firsts in earlier meets carried over to place him on THE squad. An odd thing about Ellensburg's Ferris getting first in the pole vault is that he took second to Pettit in the tri-school. His previous meets and aftershow performance when he cracked the record at 12 feet, 6 inches as an exhibition, tabs him the blue ribbon winner. For the second straight year, the Cheney mauler, Boyk, won himself a place on the squad. His smashing of the javelin mark firmly entrenched him in first . DISTANCE RUNNERS HARD The, selection of the mile and two mile winners were hot knock-down and drag-out affairs.. Montgomery, the Wildcat "Cunningham", eked out his mile win over Bill Taylor only through his driving finish in the tri-college.. Taylor's earlier wins were overshadowed by his failure to make a better time at his speciality here May 22. Maynard Howatt's inspirational on-to-victory win in the two mile shoved him into the limelight over Gardner of CWC by a slight margin. Walters, from far across the mountains, the young low hurdle man who beat out Holder and went on to a new record, took the gold star for his race. ..Felber, the Cheney strong man in the discus, throaty voiced Blair of the same institution in the shot, and Caryl of EWC, the 880 winner, all won first when the final votes were counted. • Following is the mythical track squad as picked by the staff: Mite—Montgomery (E) 100 dash—Gagnon (B) 220 dash—Gagnon (B) 440 run—Hartman (E) 120 highs—Phair (B) 880 run—Caryl (C) 2-mile—Howatt (B) High jump—Phair (B) Shot put—Elair (C) Pole vault—Ferris (E) Broad jump—Phair (B) Discus—Felber (C) Javelin—Boyk (C) • 220 Lows—Walters (C) Renton Dislodges Boosters' Lead Daily and Isekite in Hot Mound Duel; Gaffney and Penso Added; Play Oiympia Saturday With Joe Dailey twirling deceptive six-hit ball, the Renton Miners nudged the Bellingham Boosters out of the leadership of the Northwest league by the score 3-2 last Wednesday night at Battersby field. Dailey, a former Booster himself, took particular delight in setting his former mates back on their respective heels.. Lefty Isekite, wrong handed local flinger, dished out only five hits to the Miners but his team mates did not help him any by scattering their hits. BOOSTERS ADD TWO Two recent Booster reinforcements, Johnnies, Gaffney and Penso, are expected to add considerable strength to the team as it levels off for the long summer grind. Gaffney, a chunky built long distance hitting outfieldder, comes from the Bremerton Cruisers where he established himself as quite a fence-buster. Around Seattle, where he has roamed many a garden patch, he is known as a top flight player. Johnny Penso, brother of pitcher Felix, is another product of the Seattle sand-lots where he has played high school and city league ball. Johnny comes fresh from the Texas league and according to reports has developed considerably. Addded experience should make him a potent hitter and smart fielder. PLAY OLYMPIA SATURDAY Next Saturday night when the Boosters play host to the Oiympia Senators, they will attempt to regain the top rung on the league ladder. As usual the. game will start at 8:15. Soukie Sat/s Kuljis Commands Horseshoe Rung Keen rivalry has been the password in the horseshoe tournament during the past week. The enthusiasts of the barnyard sport ?.re waging long and bitter battles to climb the ladder to glory. Brilliant play on the part of Mitchell Kuljis, who is at present perched on the top rung of the ladder, has enabled him to stave off all challengers and gives him the inside track to the school championship. TESREAU COMING UP Another prospective champion has loomed up in the background, however, a~hd he may soon be in a position to challenge the leaders.. This is none other than our local golf star, Jeff Tesreau, who seems to take to the game as a fish does to water. Jeff who started the week in position number 14, is playing a steady game and has managed to defeat all comers to date and has already advanced to the fifth rung of the ladder. s Players, besides Kuljis and Tesreau, who still have an outside chance at the championship and may come through are: Chesty Cooper, number 2; John Krieg, 3; John McCartin, 4; and Gus Giss-berg, number 6. Goodbye! and wishes you a pleasant summer. Before I call it a day, let us look back over the past year and, review the successes and failures of the Vikings. Brimming over with confidence and vitality, Coach Lappenbusch put out a bunch of gridiron, men last fall that looked like sure world beaters. They started out that way, too, winning their first three games, but a little school, Pacific Lutheran college by name, put the finger on the Norse and exploded Lappys mythical great team, Lappen-busch and his boys, however, came back to give Cheney a battle they will remember the rest of their days. All that Coach Reese of the Savages could say after that game was, "It just happened to be our day. I hope Lappenbusch isn't that good next year." Along came basketball season with : '• a team that I would have bet my Viking Chances Mediocre Majority of Men Returning For Next Season; Baseball Coming Back Again grandmother's false teeth on, but the Gods of Fate still frowned and the Vikings wound up in the same place they have been for the last ten years. SWEET SPRING Spring, however, smiled on Sam Carver's quite a bit of forehead and laid a track championship in his lap, plus his annual golf title. Lappenbusch, who had an all-around bad year, was blessed with a weak tennis team which staged a great comeback in the Tri-college meet but fell short of the championship by one match. My predictions this year have been as erratic as those of the sports writers who picked Joe Louis to knock Schmeling out in the first round, but let me make a few for next year: By the looks of the huskies that I have seen in Lapp's office, Coach Reese's flaming red hair will soon be turning gray—a football title for the former Washington guard; if the Norse have as good a basketball team as last year with a shorter schedule you can count on another title for the Buckley flash; the Gods were too kind to Sam Carver this year, the Norse will lose the track crown, but will regain the tennis championship; the golfers will continue to golf in the same old fashion.

HAPPY VACATION Hurried up motion to be flaggeddown By BOB GRAHAM i Collegian Editor-in-Chief Associated Student President Blair Paul announced l a t e Tuesday h e plans to v e t o a resolution made by t h e student l e g i s l a t u r e opposing t h econtroversial m i n i m um wage in a g r i c u l t u r e bill presently before the Congress of the UnitedStates. Paul's announcement came soon after a story of the legislature's action appeared in theBellingham Herald, the local daily newspaper. "The board discussed relative merits of nationallegislation, not matters concerning students rela- Aid offered to veterans Under the new GI Bill, financial assistance will be granted students who have had more than 180 days of active duty since Jan. 31,1965. . A copy of the bill, which was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson last week, has not yetbeen made available. However, Western's regis. tr r, William O'Neil, has accumulated the followinginformation from various sources and believes it to be coirect: (1) Students who meet the requirements are eligible for one month of educational assistance for each month of service, with a maximum of 36 months. (2) Full-time students with no dependents will receive $100 per month: with one dependent,$115 per month; with two or more dependents, $150 per month. (3) Part-time students will receiveassistance in proportion to the number of credits they are carrying. (4) Benefits probably will not applyuntil summer quarter. lt;5) A veteran's eligibility will expire in 1974 or eight years after his discharge,whichever date is later. All veterans who wish to receive the assistance must submit applications. The Veteran's Administration in Seattle exects aplication forms to be availably April 1, and a supply isexpected to be sent to Western. While awaiting the arrival of the forms, every eligible veteran shouldobtain a certified copy of his discharge papers. If he is married he should also get a photostatic copyof his marriage license and of his children's birth certificates. These documents must accompany theapplication. Questions should be directed to the Veteran's Administration Regional Office, 6th andJLenora, Seattle. tion to the bill. If we can pass approvement of a bill of national concern, we areopening the door to anythingâ€”Vietnam, anything," Paul said. The resolution came in the form of amotion by Senior Legislator-at- Large Denny Freeburn and read, in part: "Resolved that the ASLegislature of Western Washington State College concur with the Bellingham Chamber of Commercein its concern over House Bill 10518 and its possible effects." WILL EXCLUDE STUDENTS If passed by Congress, the bill will set a minimum wage for agriculture workers and would not permit childrenunder the age of 12 to work in the fields. An amendment to the bill would also exclude students andpart time workers from the minimum wage protection. The resolution went on to say that it (theresolution) will be sent to Mr. Lloyd Meeds, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C, and urgethat he do "all within his power to see that at least modification of House Resolution 10518 isaccomplished to permit the continuation of piece work and the hiring of school children of all ages in agriculture, as is has been in the past." Paul went on to say that the resolution voted on and passedMonday was prepared the day of the meeting and no one except the proposers had time to considerthe question. "Had I had time to consider the resolution, I would have ruled it See 'VETO' page 2Applications open for future editors Applications are now being accepted for the 1966-67 editorships of the Collegian and the Klipsun.

The supplement isenvisioned as the first of a continuing series. Notable among the contributors are National Book Awardwinner William Stafford, James DenBoer, David Wagoner of the University of Washington and PhilipBooth. "The concept of a supplement was inspired by two things; our awareness of the importance ofcon. temporary poetry to college readers and the increased volume of contributions from collegewriters throughout the nation," said Benedict.

SPECIAL SESSION TRIED After hearing of Paul's intentionslegislators in favor of the resolu tion tried to call a special sessioi of the legislature for today, but A*Constitution By-laws forbids vetoing action until the next regi larly scheduled meeting, which wil be thefirst Monday of sprinj quarter. By this time, however, a numbe: of the persons who voted on resolutionwill be off the board am replaced by the new legislators wh lt; were elected in this quarter's ballot ing.Freeburn, who proposed the reso lution, said that the veto action Paul "will be a flagrant violationexecutive power unless it is pre sentedi to the present board. "The reason I introduced the legis lationwas on behalf of the Whatcon County students and I might ad( v/ith concurrence of the BellinghanChamber of Commerce. In addition there was not one dissenting vot regarding passage of this motion,he commented. "Even though there were no dis senting votes," said Brent Hayryner program vicepresident, "it was no a unanimous opinion, as both mj sell and Executive Vice Presiden Ken Riddellwere not there.

He recalled a game where this ability helped him to turn apparent defeat into victory. IN A TIGHTSPOT "I was in a tight spot," he said, "when I noticed how I could check mate my opponent in eightmoves. I tried it and won the match." Miller describes his chess tactic as "a slow build-up and eventualbreakthrough." He said his style lies halfway between defensive and offensive, and added, "Black-moreplays a more wide open game." Miller is vice-president of the Northwest Intercollegiate Chess League, a six member league in which Western has a four man team. Two matches are planned for April, andMiller is also looking forward to the U. S. Open Championships to be held in August at Seattle. He willcompete in a tournament with about 200 chess enthus-siasts, and says several thousand spectatorsare expected to fill the Seattle Center for the cham-pionhips. Even with all those people, there won't betoo much cheering or booing. sports at Western; it's usually not referred to as a sport, either. Moreoften, chess is jut a 'game' or a form of recreation. Chess club president Myron Miller, a Bellinghamsenior, is trying to stimulate more interest in the game, and hopes to have Duncan Suttles, currentWashington State open champion, play several games simultaneously at Western during springquarter. In simultaneous chess, one exert faces many opponents at 02ice. He goes down the line ofchess boards, making his move t each one, then moves another iece after his opponents have madetheir move. Miller said a Canadian master chess player layed 34 games simultaneously t Western fouryears ago, wining 28, losing only two and rawing four. Miller took an early interest in hess, beganplaying seriously in he ninth grade, and competed in is first tournament while a high chool sophomore. "I have a ibrary of about thirty different ooks on chess," he said. Miller is a veteran of tourna-lent play, and together with Villiam Blackmore finished second n a recent eight-team tournament the University ofOregon. â€¢ N YOUR OWN "You're completely on your wn," he commented.

Common faith stressed at Governor's prayer breakfast Oregon State Governor Mark Hatfield stepped from t h e soap box a n d onto t h e p u l p i t at t h e t e n t h annual Washington S t a t e Governor's P r a y e r Breakfast inOlympia last weekend. "I come h e r e not as a governor or a politician b u t as a man of God," H a t f i e ld said to 550 Washington State business, religious, community and s t u d e n t leaders. Thepurpose of the Prayer Break fast was to bring leaders together on a common ground of their beliefs andfaith in mankind. The function centered around the beliefs and faith of Christianity. "America is a spiritedmovement,' according to Hatfield. He claimed the American constitution is based on holy rights because God is our maker. Hatfield described faith in God to be based upon beliefs. Faith, according to theOregon Governor, cannot be legislated. He described it as something that teases man. "Man can createbecause of Faith," he said. In closing Hatfield pointed out that every Christian is called upon to proclaim and share his faith with others. SEMINARS HELD Three "seminar groups were formed following thebreakfast. At this time, Hatfield was queried on his stand on the present U. S. Vietnamese policy.Hatfield stated that he opposed the Government's policy in Viernam because he did not believe that theadministration was being candid with the American public. He pointed out that since 1962 the publichas been told that the war is "going well,, when in fact the opposite is true. The young Governor addedthat the war is being fought because of the "experts employed by the Federal Government." Hatfieldthinks fchat the American people should know what is going on and what the consequences might be.Hatfield summed up the main theme of the collegiate seminar as, "It is what we hold in common that will bring us together." HELP PROJECTS The third seminar was for community leaders. Its emphasiswas placed upon community recreational and help projects. Three student leaders from Westernâ€”Blair Paul, Student Body president; Ken Riddell, Executive Vice President; and Brent Hayrynen,Program Vice Presidentâ€”attended the seminars. In reflection of what he had learned Riddell said,"My only hope is that our student legislature can determine it's own common ground of agreement andunderstanding so that it will hopeful be able to mark up some worthwhile legislation by the end of theyear." Paul said that he found the Break, fast and seminar interesting and full of new ideas. He addedthat he hoped a provision would be made so that student leaders from Western would be able to attendevery year.

We hope thatthese people, as they prepare to don their blue blazers, have not been discouraged by cries of presentstudent politicians that this year's legislature is "the most irresponsible body the school has everseen." There is also the popular but ill-informed opinion that as soon as someone fills a chair in VU208, he automatically becomes an arch-enemy of the Collegian and suffers constant personal abuse. ; First of all, let us say this: the whole is equal to the sum of its parts, and if the legislators areirresponsible, then the legislature will surely be irresponsible too. We feel that the parts have just notbeen able 'to add up this year in student government. We sincerely hope the new members will take this as a challenge rather than a discouragement. Secondly, by being elected to a public office (and wehave said this before) an individual places himself in the public eye, and if he fails to take an active part in the functions of student government or is performing poorly, he is completely open to criticism by notonly the students, but the student press as well. This is all part of the job. But the job is, for all this,challenging, and student legislators^ will be involved in more and more projects as the year goes on. Wewish the newlpeople upstairs the best of luck and hope they can help to overcome much of the pettyMonday afternoon dramatics which have so frequently marred the legislature this year.-^Robert E.Graham Jr. better dead than poorly read Once again, final exams are upon us and we're caught in a last-minute maelstrom of study and review before the Week of Judgement. For many, finals began thisweek with exams written during the last class meeting of one and two hour courses. Laboratory finalswere also given this week. Several students we know took two class finals and a laboratory finalyesterday. Amid the finals and preparation for them, many instructors are still burdening students with quizzes, themes and in-class writes. They expect the suffering students to prepare for these while trying to get ready for their final exams at the same time. And who wants to take a short English quiz thesame day as an Ed. 385 and Biology lab final? Perhaps it would be a good idea for the College toconsider initiating a "dead" week the week before finals. During "dead" week no tests could be given(except the already-stipulated finals) and no new papers assigned, although term papers could be due. The students have enough pressure over their heads as it is the seven days preceding final examsand should not have to bear the burden of last minute quizzes or papers the instructor decides todemand. â€”Michael A. Williams the opposition was poor (Editors note: John Stotts is a freshmanreporter for the Collegian. His views in this editorial do not necessarily represent those of the editorialboard.) Last week's peace march was a well organized and well ordered trek, but it was marred by the hecklers who took full advantage of the apparent absence of the local gendarmes. These flagwaving hecklers who knew little if any of the march's purpose, continually bombarded the marcherswith the strains of the "Green Beret" and insults ranging from "cowards" to "filthy unwashed beatniks." While some hecklers were attempting to start fights with the marchers, another agitator was driving hismotor scooter over the toes of the bearer of the American flag. And where were the police? Chief Kleinreported that, "There were several plain-clothed officers covering the march." We commend them on theirability to remain inconspicuous. While the United States guarantees the right of protection to all itscitizens, it also guarantees them the right of peaceable assembly, petition, and free speech. But thehecklers interpreted this in another sense. They apparently feel these rights are entitled to only thosewho fully agree with, and support American foreign policy. The marchers were asking for negotiation,not withdrawal. But did the hecklers know this? Apparently not, for instead of criticizing the marchersgoals, they criticized the marchers as individuals. One well dressed member of Belling-ham's citizenry went so far as to refer to two peace marching ministers as dirty, unwashed beatniks. The hecklerswho acted in this manner were successful in only one respect, and that was in presenting their apparentbelief that freedom lies not in the freedom of speech and assembly, but in blindly following thegovernment's policies without first questioning its motives and goals, and the fallible human beings whorun it.â€”John S.

I came to the conclusion that because it was the first quarter, this could bethe cause of all the inattention, I thought maybe it would die down. Now it is winter quarter and there are still the "select few" (mainly 'big shot' boys) who insist on talking during the lectures, laughing at thelecturers, and deciding themselves when the lecture is over and either leaving or making so much noisegetting ready that no ore can hear a thing. My first thought was to write this letter to show my disgust for this situation. Now, I have come to the conclusion that this would hardly do anyone any good, becauseuntil these people grow up, no amount of criticism will help. Therefore, I am writing this to hopefullyrelieve the lecturing professors. â€¢ I would like them to know that these rude students are really aminority, a very small minority at that.

GRUVER Legislator Burakand Thoreau in favor of march Editor, the Collegian: To those readers who challenge the choice of thepeace marchers to voice their dissatisfaction with our country's foreign policy (and especially to Mr.Munro and his patsies who showed their true colors last Thursday i a a most boorish and irresponsiblemanner) let me direct these words of Thoreau: "The mass of men serve the state not as men mainly,but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, etc . . .and as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, withoutintending it, as God. A very few, as heroes, patriots, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve thestate with their consciences also, and necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonlytreated by it as enemies." On March 3 two American flags traveled from Sehome Hill to the Federalbuilding. One was borne by a serious, orderly group of individuals who chose not to put theirconsciences aside. The other was desecrated by two carloads of jeering "patriots." Mr. Munro, if this iswhat you mean by "serving one's country," I fear for the minds of the students you will someday teach.TIM BURAK 508 East Ivy wish I could say to pay no attention to these students but this is impossible, so I'll say instead, you can be proud of yourselves, all of you for doing a fine job.

Hejoined us last October 3rd as a birthday present. His name was Scripps and he was a turtle. ^ Scrippswasn't an ordinary turtle. Oh, he was green like most of "bis counterparts, but he was slower than theaverage shellback. Every once in a while we would take him out of his split-level bowl and put him on atable, urging him to run. Scripps would sleepily look around at the mad reporters in their yellowsweatshirts, shake his head, pull in his legs and take a nap. He wasn't like a typical freshmanâ€”he wasan individual and didn't do what he was told. After Scripps had been living with us for about three weekswe noticed he was moping around a lot. He was lonely and needed a friend, m one of our secretariesbought another turtle named Howard. The two quickly became buddies. Scripps and Howardcomplemented each other. Howard had deep psychic problems and moving from the big aquarium atNewberry's to Scripps' split-level was a traumatic experience for him. ' For the first two weeks Howardpaced around the bowl like a lion In a cage. Scripps, meanwhile, sat in a corner and regarded his palthrough half opened eyes. Occasionally, bored with Howard's behavior, Scripps would let the trauma-edturtle climb on his back to try to escape. Eventually, however, he convinced Howard to stay. This led tothe next big phase in Scripps' life. He was back-up turtle to Howard in the Great Turtle Race. He fell intohis new position with oodles of enthusiasm. Sometimes when put out to run he even moved. We lostScripps Sunday. Someone came into the office and turtlenapped our green shellback. Xfc was a rottenthing to do, worse than the theft of our Batman picture, or the theft of $25 from a girl's purseâ€”both whichtook place earlier this quarter. â€ž , â€¢ , * i-. Though Scripps is gone he won't be forgotten. Often wellthink of hun. Poor Scrippsâ€”he may not have been big, but he sure was slow. THE TWIST OF FATEBasketball always has been and always will be Chuck Randall's fe-orite sport. Immediately after losing the NAIA District play-off to Central Washington the scrappy coach left Bellingham for Spokane and Tacoma to scout the state "B" and "A" high school tournaments. Monday he said, "I saw a few good ball players,but I don't know if we'll get any.'*1 Spring quarter Randall handles the varsity baseball team. In his flbreeyears at Western the Vikings have won three area tournaments and two Pacific Coast Conferencechampionships. Last year at the NAIA tourney in Kansas, Western finished fifth. This season Randall will be assisted by Fred Shull. Randall knows what he wants and is out to get it. The Central series lastmonth left a sour taste in his mouth. He's determined it won't happen next year. He's planning onspending more time recruiting spring quarter. He's also planning on working with some of the betterintramural players â€¢-- in the hopes of coming up with a dark horse. It's a strange and ironic twist of fate that Randall can take his - baseball teamsâ€”to him a secondary sportâ€”to the nationals in successiveyears, but can't get off the ground with his basketball team. Sailors will host Canadians weeklyWestern's sailors will r e a dy equipment and t e c h n i q u e during the spring break in prep a r a t i o n for a full season on t h e water. Actually, the wind and water enthusiasts began their season twoweeks ago at the University of British Columbia Invitational Meet.

Westernsailors are affiliated with the Northwest Intercollegiate Yacht Club Association. James Garner and MartyWolf, both of Western, were elected president and secretary of the association for the coming season.Under the association's rules a team gets one point for starting, one for each boat it beats and one forfinishing. In the UBC competition Feb. 26, 27, Garner and John Clark were high for Western with 20points each.

LOVEGREN URGES STUDENTS TO TAKE EXAM Just before the close of the past quar-ert, Mrs. Lovegren persuaded five of her advanced students to take the Gregg Teachers' examination. Anyone familiar with these examinations will appreciate the good work on the part of both teacher and students. Those securing certificates are as follows: Miss Gladys E. Parr Miss Minnie Swanson Miss Aleda Biese Mr. Maurice A. Dunn Mr. Clyde Trueblood IS ELECTED NEW EDITOR OF THE MESSENGER UNANIMOUS CHOICE OF BOARD OF CONTROL At a meeting of the Board of Control, Monday, Miss Marian Ouren was elected editor of the school paper, to succeed Oliver Ingersoll. Miss Ouren has worked with the Polk Directory Printing Co., of Seattle, and in 1919 she was editor of "The Gem," the publication of the Hall Business College of the same place. STUDE TO NORMAL EIGHTY A . M . BRING YOUR LUNCH; COFFEE TO BE SERVED In order to give some sort of a welcome to the students who have come in for the summer quarter, the Board of Control have planned a hike to the eighty acres belonging to the school. For the benefit of the new students, we might say that this land has been purchased for the purpose of giving the school some place for outings. When the lodges are built, the clubs may have their trips out there. Saturday, students will take the 9 o'clock Lake Whatcom car at the Inter-urban Station and get off at Whatcom Falls Park. Guides will meet the crowd at the Park, and the hike of three and one-half miles will begin immediately. There is pavement for one and one-half miles, and from there, a well-blazed trail. Students will bring their own lunch and coffee will be served by the Student's Association. The day is not set aside as a work day, but if there is anyone who has a light ax and the desire, he may make good use of the time, for there is a great deal to be done by way of improving the grounds. suielims H VERY BRIGHT The tennis classes are in full swing with a good number of new players on the courts. Sometime later, announcement will be made of the tournament that will be held in the later part of the summer. ; Plans for girls' tournaments in volley ball and baseball are under way for the summer. Any girl who wishes may take part. Miss Long would like to see as many as eight or ten teams' turn out for each. A notice will be posted on the board and will those interested please sign up.

B. S. N. S. STATE COLLEGE NAMED '' POOR BOY'S COLLEGE'' You will be interested to know that the State College of Washington has been called "The Poor Boy's College." This is a proper naming, because last year of the 2000 men and women enrolled 83 per cent had earned from a fourth to all of the money they spent during the college year on their education.— Pow Wow. B. S. N. S. INTELLIGENCE TEST TO BE REQUIRED SOON An intelligence test will be required of all students this summer. The test will take place June 20 at 8:00 a. m. An announcemrit will be made later in as-eembly regarding the rooms in which the tests will be given. B. S. N. S. Gardener (gazing at tulip beds): "I hope this rain keeps up."

Oliver: "She said she would send me a picture of it." FACULTY MEMBER GIVEN "QUEER" INTRODUCTION At an eighth grade graduation exercise last Friday night, the chairman wished to announce the speaker, (who, by the way, folks, was an honorable member of the faculty). His speech of introduction was similar to this: "Friends, we have with us this evening a gentleman of distinction. Although I have met this personage a number of times, I was unable .to think of his name when 7 was talking to tlie Extension Department of the Normal School, so I just asked for 'The Bolshevik.' It gives me great pleasure;, friends, to introduce Prof. Bahskopf- ofi the Normal School." -B. S. N. s:- BELLINGHAM'S SHOW PLACES No- student should come to the Bellingham State Normal School; stay his short time,.and: go aAvay without seeing jeome of. the interesting places of "Tu-ilip Town." First, there is- the government bulb if arm, a^ beautiful1 place, about one mile jfrom the end of the Court House car line. There are the many parks within the icity, where one may spend many pleasant hours. These parks have playgrounds, tennis courts, ball grounds, 'tourists' camps, and- other interesting jfeatures. A short distance from the city are Whatcom Falls and Whatcom Falls Park. Both are on the Lake Whatcom car line. Here one may fish and enjoy th beauties of nature. State Park is south of the city on the waterfront, and may be reached on the interurban, which leaves town every even hour. Here one may enjoy bathing and see the forest just as nature made it. Those who like hiking will find themselves well repaid by the wonderful views to be obtained from- the end of Sunset Trail; top of Sehome Hill; or, better yet, from the top of Chuckanut Mountain. The first two may be visited any day, but Chuckanut may claim more of one's time. To get there one must take the South Bellingham car to Harris avenue and then follow the Pacific Highway to Highbridge. From here a well-worn path leads to. the top, or farthr er on, to Lost Lake. * For a nice swim one may go to Squal-icum Beach, at the end of Eldridge. Avenue car line. For a boatride or picnic one should go to Lake Whatcom, at the end of the Lake Whatcom carline. See .these places;.enjoy them, and your summer at the Bellingham Normal School will mean much, more to. you. -F...R-N. S.- Miss Mead: "I've lost my specks."

A tale that to you will doubtless 'pear? As one from a mind of missing links, But, ah! You're mistaken, the author thinks. Thinks, and uses his psychic gifts To see where the far fetched future lifts Man, the kin of Cain and Able. Descendants of ape, baboon or fable. Now, down to earth, for this involves The Normal School, and for you solves Just what your grandchild may expect, Yea, some of you, as I reflect. For twenty years, plus twenty-four Won't age a maiden any more. Before me in the mystic globe I see, I feel, T hear, I probe. Ah, first into its crystal swirl There glides a,—heavens! it's a girl! And what apparel has she on? A ring, some trousers, what ? She's gone ? Ye Gods! unearth me if you can, To think that this must be a man With hair that curls about his waist. And all that woman ever placed Upon her e'er impatient self lias now made man the "modest elf." What building? Fifteen stories high, With elevator. Mercy! My! And "B. S. N. S." carved in zinc.

If caught with book of any sort, Between these hours, will be in court, And tried for straining brain and eyes." This rule to me seems wondrous wise. I guess perhaps I'd best refrain From causing you the extra pain Of knowing that the Training School Has been abolished, and a cool, Refreshing, Oriental park Replaces it. Horrors, does my globe grow dark!! Oh, well! I've given you enough. Of Nineteen Hundred Forty stuff. —Helen Hightower. B. S. N. S. "THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. A school boy in London turned in this composition on Christopher Columbus: Columbus was a man who could make an egg stand on end without crushing it. The King of Spain sent for him and asked him: "Can you discover America?" "Yes," Columus answered, "If you will give me a boat." He got his boat and sailed in the direction that he believed America was. The sailors mutinied and insisted there was no such place as America, but presently the pilot came to him and said: "Columbus, land is in sight." "Well, it's America," Columbus said. When the boat neared the shore, Columbus saw a group of natives. "Is this America?" he asked them. "Yes," the chief answered, "and are you Christopher Columbus?" "I am." The Indian chief turned then to his companions and said: "The jig is up. We are discovered at last." -B. S. N. S, A little boy, on coming home from school the first day, declared to his mother that he wouldn' go back to school the next day. •Why, Willie," said his mother, "of course you're going back!" "I won't go back tomorrow, mamma!" Here the father interrupted: "Why don't you want to go back tomorrow?" "Well, a big man came today and stood on a chair and looked around the room and said: :I'll come back tomorrow and hang them all." B. S. N. S. Ikey (goes to get shaved)—Well, how much do I owe you? Barber—Nothing! I always like to run my razor over a calf skin. J3. S..N. S. Pupil—What's my grade in History. Dr. M.—Just what you are worth. Pupil—I-won't accept it, then. B. S. N.

PAULSON REPORTERS NELL HENRY AGNES NORDLUND CLYDE TRUEBLOOD SELL OUR PRODUCTS. It is the bomiden duty of school men and school women to think seriously on the problem of ways and means of selling the idea of public education to the community. There is an eager public willing to buy the educational idea. No other single product can command so wide a market in American life, if intelligently, honestly and attractively advertised. If the sale fails of consummation, the main fault lies with the school people. Oftem school people complain because the taxes'for roads in this state keep pace with that of education. It is not because the people consider the roads of more value than their children; it is rather because the promoters of roads are printing circulars, sending out literature, talking it in season and out of season; in short, they are selling good roads to the people. If the school people were as interested and enthusiastic about the education of the boy and girl, we would get the share of taxes that rightly belongs to the children or our land. we get it in better form than playing the games of youth on the campus? One sits inside, trying with all his will to concentrate on the lesson before him, but his poor overworked brain has become so foggy that he is only wasting his time in trying to use it further. A .half hour of real play, and he is able to sit down and master the lesson in short order. Remember: When playground activity day arrives, throw all ]pares aside and Come One! Come All! We are not selling education as we should. -B. S. N. S. —Exchange. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH The old order has changed, and into its place steps a new management, whose duties this week have consisted for the most part in striving to adjust itself to the situation. A great many students have noticed with pleasure, the rising standard of the Messenger. The previous staffs have not worked in vain, and their conscientous efforts have resulted in a bigger and better paper. But do the students realize that it is they themselves, their spirit and co-operation, which reflect in the printed pages of the school paper? The staff gather, organize, accept, reject and print school news, and when they have done this work efficiently, their duty is done. It is the student body which molds the character of that news, and, in order to keep the Messenger above par, let every individual in this school, in both class work and social activities, unite in the cry of '' Excelsior!" B. S. N. S. PLAYGROUND DAY. There are some who are so conscientiously studious that they cannot break away from a book; there are others who fain would always look perfectly prim; there are those who are averse to anything which causes them to exercise the body with any degree of alacrity; and last, there are a few who refrain from "playing" because they might appear foolish! . When playground activity day arrives, these four types are not on the campus. If they could only realize that play activity is the Fountain of Youth! Rosy cheeks, a happy, smiling face, a light, quick step, are the result of joyous physical exercise, and how can The enrollment Wednesday was: 1177, and the program committees are busy with those who are still nocking in.

The great man had his back toward me when I entered. From the rear he looked like almost any ordinary man. However, when he turned, no one could have been deceived—his was the master mind. His countenance ex-pressd that light of understanding held only by the great. His expressive eyes had the pensive gaze of one who guides the world thru science. He wore a long, gray duster. Piled high on either side of him were huge books of abstract science and philosophy. His desk was littered with a mass of papers. A twenty-place table of logarithms lay open at his elbow. The noted philosopher's manner was extremely abstracted. Now and then he would hurriedly jot down figures on a pad among the mass of papers on his desk, and he took no notice of me whatever. I felt that perhaps I should not disturb the famous man while in the midst of his investigations. I took a step toward the door. He noted my movements, and with the wonderful perception of an analytical mind, he instantly divined that I intended to depart. "Stay!" He held u his hand imperiously. "I may have something to reveal shortly." "Ah!" I thought. "I have come at a most opportune time. lie is almost ready to make known the result of his late research, and I shall be the first to hear it and the 'Herald' will be the first to print it." I sat down calmly to await the result of his final calculations. The master mind again turned to his task. He seemed in difficulty. His brow darkened. The hand that held the pencil paused, laid down the pencil, and aided the other hand in tearing up the sheet on which he was writing. He began to write again. What would the world do without such a man to discover the exact electrons shot off by a gram of radium in a million years ? The thought was appalling. Earth would be a chaos and man but little better than a beast if it were not for such men as he, who have conclusively proved by years of exhaustive effort that granite is stone. The wizard of science bent lower over his task. He wrote faster and faster, lie added long columns with lightning rapidity. His brow was beaded with per- GARLICK'S NEW SHOE SHOP 203i/2 West Holly Ladies' Work our Specialty LADIES' SHOE SHINING PARLOR All Kinds of Shoes Cleaned and Dyed. spiration. He worked with feverish haste. The clock struck twelve, but he did not hear it. His pencil leaped across the page. At last his eye brightened, his face cleared—he had almost finished. At length he arose. On his face was an expression of complete satisfaction. His eye flashed the fire of success. His joy was supreme. He lifted his radiant face toward the heavens. About his mouth played a happy smile. I waited, breathless, for those precious words. "I have figured out my income tax!" he said. —Lois Timmen, Eng. 1. B. S. N. S. THE NEW STUDENT.

Tossing weary school •••arc to the winds the Philomathcans took the Eldridge Avenue car out to Squalicum Beach last Friday after school and there enjoyed their first real summer outing. The occasion was a farewell party in honor of their club adviser, Prof. H. C. Philippi, who will tak his vacation very soon. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver preceded the members of the party to the beach and had everything fairly humming—the bonfire lighted and even the salmon in bake. Noel Wynn, the club mitt artist, and several lesser horse-hide tossers, indulged in the well-known Bellingham game of "play catch" while some of the more ambitious members made ready to prepare the feed. A few of the students displayed their deviltry and love for aquatics by entering the briny deep and pitting their strength against the huge sea waves that timidly lapped over the sands of the beach. The water was great; Marion Collier and Esther Eeddick can attest to that. And then amid the fun a gong was sounded for supper and everyone knew it was time to run. Oh, that meal! Everything tasted better than anything ever had tasted , before. Afterwards a business meting was held at which a new set of officers was elected. Austin Bond was named president, Margaret Spaight was chosen vice president, and George Van de Wetering was elected secretary and treasurer. The president appointed Vida Scudder club historian*, and Oliver Ingersoll club reporter. B. S. N. S. Y. W. C. A. Entertains at Tea. Friday afternoon the Y. W. C.

Meanwhile a little reflection on them is in order. Theargument is roughly as follows: the environmental irresponsibility of our society has brought about acrisis which will soon worsen into a catastrophe unless we make sweeping changes in our life styles.We must learn to live by the principles of environmental responsibility. These are the principles which asociety must observe if its life-style is to be compatible with long-term environmental integrity. Theprincipal features of society which lead to environmental damage are the following: 1. There are too many people. There is a limit to the number of people which the earth can support, and it has been reached if not already exceeded; yet world population is growing at a rate which will double it in 37 years. 2.Almost every individual is striving to raise his material standard of living, and this is as true of the rich asof the poor. Yet the higher our material standard of living, the greater is the rate at which we use energy; and the greater the rate at which we use energy, the greater is the r a t e of environmental deterioration.All energy use exhausts resources, all energy use pollutes. There is a maximum rate at which the earth can yield energy and absorb waste on a continuing basis, and we must ration ourselves in order not toexceed it. Currently, we behave as if energy resources were limitless and as if there were an obligationto use as much as possible. 3. The basic Western world-view sees man as separate from nature, andnature as part resource and part enemy, to be conquered, subdued, exploited and manipulated. If weare to stop damaging the environment, we need a new world-view leading us to experience nature as aninseparable part of ourselves, and to care for it as we do our own bodies. 4. Western man is emotionally committed to the idea of economic growth. Yet it is obvious that an economy cannot go on expandingindefinitely into the future, and the environmental crisis gives us notice that the time has come wheneconomics of growth must be replaced by a non-expanding, or stable, economy. 5. Western cultureencourages the development of competitive and aggressive personality types. While competitive-aggressive man may be ideal for settling a vast, unpopulated continent, he is very ill equipped for the c o o p e r a t i v e mutual accommodations which high population densities make essential. These fivepoints yield a set of imperatives which must be observed by any society claiming t o be environmentally responsible: Comply with the principle of 2ero population growth! Live frugally! Love and care for thesupporting environment! Promote a non-expanding economy! Nurture the cooperative, non-aggressivepersonality! The emerging demand is that our society change its habits and live by these principles. Butthis is to reverse most of the operational values by which our society currently lives! It would be amassive task of re-education- which any sane person must dismiss as impossible. But, say thestudents, the situation is desperate, and we dare hot dismiss the task as impossible. the role ofeducation What role does an educational institution play in a crisis like this? Firstiy, and obviously, itteaches students to know the facts and understand the problems; and the principle of academic freedom guarantees to faculty members the right to do this as conscientiously as they can. Yet to do this andnothing more tends to produce students who are emotionally and ethically unable to fit into existingsociety. We know these students. Many of them have already demonstrated and protested, and some of them are now trying to promote a new brand of campus activism using sophisticated propagandatechniques in order to change public opinion. The methods would all be constitutionally acceptable, butthe effort, if massive enough, could lead to the appearance of an overt politicization of educationalinstitutions. Again, we must ask the question: What is the political role of an educational institutionwhich is tax-supported and pledged to serve the entire society? At the lowest level, of course, it is aninstitutional interest group which can and does lobby for funds, etc., in competition with all other publicly supported operations. This much is accepted. But beyond this, what role may such an institution playin attempting to shape public policy? Clearly it may not take an overt political stand which is opposedto the views of a part-possibly the major part-of the society which supports it, for obvious reasons: thesociety would withdraw its support and emasculate the institution, and there are signs that this isalready happening. alienation If the production of alienated graduates who have no spiritual home is notgoing far enough, organizing the campus for political activism is going too far in the wrong direction. It is unlikely that society can be reconstructed by activities intervention emanating from the campus. Theimpulse to social change must arise within the leadership elites of the society itself, and the task of thecampus is to prepare students for the day when they will be members of these elites. - When theimpulse to change arises-and signs of this have been visible for some years now-another function of thecampus is to be ready with ideas and models which can quickly be used. Since it is social change weare talking about, this means that campuses should be experimenting with social ^ p a t t e r n s ;quietly and inconspicuously incubating styles of life resting on philosophical premises different fromthose of the existing tradition. Most important of all, however, is for the campus to be able to producegraduates who can combine self-reliance and stability with the holding of a world-view which is new andin conflict with the popularly accepted view. This is a psychologically very difficult feat. inner-directed In the language of Riesman, most of us are either inner-directed and living by authorities from the past, orother-directed and living by the authority of the current peer group. Those of us belonging in neither ofthese classes suffer from the painful condition called alienation and search desperately for a peer-groupto escape into. If we are to go out into the world confidently and autonomously, we must have thechance to live for a while in a home-base community in which we can acquire self-knowledge and workout our world-view in a helpful and supportive social atmosphere. For this I can think of no betterinstrument than the satellite college organized as an educational community. An education institutionwhich sends out into the larger society* a continual supply of g r a d u a t e s who are philosophicallysecure and psychologically stable is probably making its greatest possible contribution to solving thepolitical crises of the time. ---------- Western Front - 1970 July 28 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, July 28,1970 Catch-Up Focuses on lt;Whole Student by David Sherman "No Miracles Expected Here" If Sterling Brand were the kind of man who hung signs in his room for otherpeople to judge him by, then he would probably hang the above sign. Since he is not that kind of a man, however, perhaps his five-year history with Project Catch-Up on Western's campus can be allowed tospeak for itself. "Catch-up", as the staff refer to it, was conceived some six years ago by Western's Dr. William J. Laidlaw of the Psychology Department and several colleagues, as a demonstration program. "Five years is too long," he remarks for openers, his voice and body in high gear from the moment heenters the room. Sterling Brand seems to have no middle gears. "I tell everybody including myself thatyou lose your effectiveness after two years. Your initial enthusiasm and dedication get bogged down instale ideas and cynicism. But you can see where that has gotten me to date." If Brand is anything, he is the epitomy of enthusiasm and dedication, despite a painful eye infection this year which has laid himup for at least a part of the six-week Summer involved in his beloved Project Catch-Up. With suchprograms as Head Start and Upward Bound already flourishing throughout the country, the projectoriginators felt it would be worthwhile to determine what could be done for students in the seventh andeighth grades. "We were thinking in terms of a crash course in weak subjects at the time," Brand said."You see, all 50 of our students had been selected by t h e i r teachers as an underachiever who hasnormal or better ability. Catching the interest of the Rockefeller Foundation, they received their originaltwo-year funding and set up shop for the 1966 summer at Western. "To us that first Summer, thatmeant getting each student and cramming him full of his weak subjects in preparation for the nextschool year. Naturally, it didn't work." Reasons for the lack of success are multitudinous but they boildown, in Brand's mind, to the fact that the student's Summer experience with Project Catch-Up was toosimilar to his eight years of experience with the public school system. "These youngsters have all beenturned off by the public school system," Brand pointed out. "We weren't going to reach them by lookinglike, sounding like and acting like the thing that turned them off." And so Catch-Up evolved, until itreached the point of a near re-birth this summer. For the first four summers, Catch-Up drew bothstudents and teachers from the surrounding Whatcom and Skagit County School Districts. Brandhimself is a principal in the Ferndale district during the regular school year. This year, looking for acompletely different approach and style, the program went out recruiting for some 15 experiencedteachers from Washington, Oregon, California and Nebraska, who were interested in specializing in thet e a c h i n g of "culturally disadvantaged" children. Recruiting was aimed at attracting teachers for a12-month stay. They were brought to Western in the Fall of 1969 to begin classes leading to theirMaster of Education degrees in that specialty. With eight months of training, preparation, and teamwork-behind them, the 15 specialists opened the doors of Catch-Up four weeks ago.

"Our job is togive them a positive experience with school, possibly the first they've ever had, and build from that. It's a matter of changing the child's image of school and particularly of himself." To accomplish thatnoteworthy end, Project Catch-Up personnel have made a few changes in the formalized schoolingstudents have come to expect. "We have classes in the formal sense of providing math, science, social studies, etc., but the resemblance comes to a halt at that point," Brand explained. "For one thing, wedon't have formal classrooms with a couple of exceptions. As often as not, the classes are held in thedormitories or out-of-doors or the teacher's quarters." Each child chooses which courses he wishes orneeds to take, and classes vary greatly in size as a result. But because there are some 15 teachers, six Western students or recent grads, and, one recent graduate of Catch-Up working with some 47youngsters, they have a ratio of about two-to-one pupils to teachers and aides. This does allow for agreat deal more individual work with each student. "Classes are really nothing more than a means to anend though," Brand emphasizes. "We've evolved from our original concept of a summer cram session to the point that we're really a hyped-up counseling session now." With a staff of 22 and 47 youngsters all occupying two Fair haven College buildings, living, learning, eating and sleeping together, there is a lotof individual counseling possible over the six-week period. "We have a system here based on the needsof and run at the convenience of the pupil rather than the other way around," Brand hammered home."The greatest sin of the public school system is the fact it is run for the convenience of the people in the system, not the people being served." Rules are nonexistent in the formal sense, and are referred to as "expectations" by Brand and the staff. These are limited to attending scheduled classes and activities,taking care of the physical facilities at Fairhaven, taking care of personal belongings as well as the other persons, and maintaining a good image of Project Catch-Up when outside the facilities. "We had onegirl who broke every rule she could think of and the only response she got from us was a discussion ofwhy she was doing those things. Finally she admitted she was trying to get kicked out of the project.We told her she could leave anytime she wanted to, but she wasn't going to get kicked out."Youngsters arrive feeling either frightened and aggressive or frightened and passive. When they learnthey can do nearly a n y t h i n g without being physically punished, they quickly set out to test theteachers and the system. What they get is a brand new reaction f o r most of them: understanding,kindness and a willingness to talk the situation through. "What they find out finally is that the rules ofthe game are different, but that we do have a game with rules. Some learn to live with it and enjoy thenew responsibilities and freedoms. Some just remain hostile and frustrated." As the six-week sessioncomes to a close and youngsters learn that the old system hasn't changed much and they probably will not have it any easier than before. What has happened to them is perhaps only a change of attitudeabout school and themselves. "We don't see much scholastic improvement in our graduates," Brandadmitted. "We do have a much lower rate of dropouts from our group, however, which indicates adefinite change of attitude on their part. Slowly, too, we're beginning to see a difference in the schoolsystem where they are more capable of educating the whole child and treating each individually." Brandand his assistant, Ed Sugars, make up the only administrative staff at Catch-Up itself, while Brand's co-director Dr. Evelyn Mason handles the compilation of date about the project required by the fundingagency, the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Mason is a clinical child psychologist on the staff at Western."What we have at Catch-Up is an attempt to deal with the whole child, perhaps for the first time in theirlives. For our 50 percent Indian children, 25 percent Chicano and 25 percent Anglo, this is an experience they will remember the remainder of their schooling, hopefully in a positive way."

The House InternalSecurity Committee (HISC) has launched a probe to find out who pays radical speakers who appear oncollege campuses. A letter was sent to 179 colleges asking for complete lists of speakers and who paidthem. According to Committee Chairman Richard Ichord (D-Mo.), the committee wants to "determinethe extent to which today's extremist and radical speakers have used the forum of college and universitycampuses to finance revolutionary violence among a militant minority of young people in this nation."Both Western and the University of Washington are listed among the schools receiving the letters.

Faculty, on the other hand, are able to check out and hold booksuntil the library sends out a card to call the book back, which only happens if there is a request for thatbook by another party. This privilege is also equally extended to faculty associates and friends.Students who are unable or unwilling to bring their books back at the end of the two week period mustpay a total of 10 cents per day for the first five days the book is overdue. After five days have elapsed,the penalty increases to 25 cents per day, to a maximum of $4.25 which must be paid to receive a grade transcript or a diploma. Faculty, associates and friends simply do not pay fines, no matter how longthey keep a particular book. Reasons given for this discriminatory policy are simple: students are moremobile than faculty and hence harder to locate. Because they can transfer more easily betweencampuses, they must be held more accountable for what they have in their possession from Western,according to the library. Fines and penalties now in force were established by a student committee. T ha t same student committee, however, did not believe it necessary to take punitive measures againstfaculty members who decided to keep a particular book, no matter how long they held onto it, becausetechnically no regulations were being broken.

Whether or not that information will be returned to the Ichordcommittee will be determined when college president Charles J. Flora returns from vacation next week.The study was blasted by committee member Louis Stokes (D-Ohio), who called it "a directencroachment on academic freedom." He informed a Cleveland college that it could ignore the letter"with impunity." A committee spokesman agreed that cooperation was voluntary, and said no furtheraction will be taken if a college refuses to supply a list of speakers as requested. He said 26 replies hadbeen received, of which the "overwhelming majority" complied with the request. He refused to sayjwhichschools had responded. The committee, which was formerly known as the House Un-American Activities C o m m i t t e e , has been concentrating its investigating on the Black Panther Party, the NewMobilization Committee, and SDS, and the committee hopes the responses to this survey will shed light on who is financing the groups. More hearings will be held soon in the New Mobe study, and the thirdround of the Black Panther Party hearings began Tuesday, July 21, concentrating on testimony from ex-Panthers from Indianapolis and Detroit. The committee also believes that the speakers themselves"have contributed heavily to the revolutionary climate in our nation by their inflammatory and vicioustirades as well as by their frequently disgraceful antics," as Ichord put it. "Academic freedom andfreedom of speech," said Ichord, "unfortunately have become devices for the dissemination of conceptsof violence. Using cliches and platitudes which have long been employed to foment hate anddissatisfaction, these militants are systematically spreading their venom-c o n c e n t r a t i n g onstudents.... Is it any wonder then that youthful audiences are often influenced in the wrong direction?"Ichord finds it "shocking to think that honorariums paid from funds from tax supported universities or from fees assessed students in public institutions are seemingly being used to subsidize the revolutionarymovement in this country." "Instead of utilizing the college and student funds to strengthenunderstanding and a deeper appreciation of our free enterprise system," Ichord says, "these funds maybe going into the coffers of groups seeking to destroy traditional American concepts and the structure of our society." When sufficient replies are received, the committee will issue a report which -will probably condemn universities which have allowed student organizations to invite speakers Ichord feels arerevolutionaries. While - this will produce few changes, since the right of free speech is ingrained in most American colleges, it will result in increased political pressure on some colleges to stop, as Ichord putit, "financing revolutionary vio ence. ^ y Ge o rge Hartwell Re-read 1984 ---------- Western Front - 1970 July 28 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, July 28,1970 IENT Who rules Western I've been asked to say a few wordsabout the conflicts of interest between those of our planet and the people of the Terrestrial Federation.

Students who aim at landing jobs in primary, secondary, or higher educationneed only adhere to a clearly delineated course of study in order to arrive at their goal. But how does onereach those seats of authority at the top-the Board of Trustees? While an exact program of study forwould-be trustees is nowhere available, a quick look at Western's trustees may provide some usefulguidelines for those who aspire to trusteeship. Harold Philbrick has a Master's in Business Administration from Harvard University and is Vice-President of the Dexter Horton Branch of the Seattle-Fir,st NationalBank. He is a member of the Rotary Club, the Harbor Club, and the Rainier Club which has been theobject of investigations by the State Board on Discrimination for alleged racist membership policies.Burton Kingsbury is the Board's chairman; he received a law degree from the University of Kansas in 1933 and is a member of the board of directors of Livesey, Kingsbury,- and Livesey, a Bellingham based lawfirm. Kingsbury, who privately opposes the plan to create a beer and wine dispensary on campus,represents several local taverns. The newest appointee to the Board is Patrick Comfort, a Tacoma lawyer and former state representative. He holds an L.L.B. (law) degree from TSTew York University School ofLaw and is a member of the board of directors of Comfort, Dolack, Hansler Billett, Inc., a Tacoma lawfirm. Information on Comfort's property holdings and memberships in fraternal organizations, if any, are not readily available. Ritajean Butterworth is the Board's only female member. At the time of herappointment to the Board last year, she had completed two and a half years of schooling at DominicanCollege in California and the University of Washington. She has been active in civic projects in Seattleincluding Den mother, counseling at youth camps and as an adult representative to the Junior OrthopedicGuild. More important in her selection to the Board is her involvement in State Republican Party affairs. In this respect she is a member of the Associated Republican Women and has served on several steeringcommittees for statewide Republican campaigns. The fifth Board member is Millard Benjamin Hodges,Vice-President of Ketchikan Pulp Company which is owned in part by Bellingham's foremost polluter, theGeorgia-Pacific Corporation. Hodges attended Meadville Business College in Pennsylvania from 1927until 1929 and is a Certified Public Accountant. Retired from the U.S. Army since 1967, Hodges is a one-time Colonel with a "top secret" security classification, which means that the army considers him verytrustworthy. Besides his relationship to the college, Hodges is a trustee for the Bellingham Chamber ofCommerce, Mt. Baker Recreation Company, and the Mt. Baker Mutual Savings Bank. Hodges maintainsaffiliations with the Bellingham Yacht Club, the Bellingham Golf and Country Club, the Rainier Club inSeattle and the Elks, which has also come to the attention of the State Board on Discrimination for itsracially exclusive practices. American economist Thorstein Veblen once remarked, "The final discretionin the affairs of the seats of learning is entrusted to men who have proven their capacity for work that hasnothing in common with higher learning." In general the argument advanced by Veblen holds true even foran institution as insignificant as Western. A simple set of conditions for the trustee aspirants among usmight include the following: 1) become a corporation executive or a corporation lawyer 2). have upper-class pretentions by joining exclusive and expensive clubs 3) be white 4) keep your politics conservative5) be thoroughly establishment.

If non-white workers were " c heap," those corporations would hire them because it would pay to. If non-whites were cheaper thanwhites, minority unemployment rates would be lower than whites'-not higher. The hard core costindustrial firms more: they produce less but cost more to hire and train. Inferior education, rotten diet,mate hostility, culture shock, and all the rest cause that. If minorities were "ready," their getting to jobswould be no problem-but it is. The classic Eastern industrial city, scattered factories each surrounded by worker housing, no longer houses the factories. Now the problem is either to provide transport from theresidential ghetto to the new factories, or to "gild the ghetto" by moving plants in, and both have costs.Urban minorites do work cheaply and readily-for laundries and other services., And, back where there'sno huge urban ghetto, farms and small towns use cheap and ready minorities like migrant bean pickers.

Next year the school will provide many, activities and much individualattention for thirty-four children ages five through eight. The Co-op is not a newcomer to the area. ManyBellingham children have attended the nursery school which was established in 1966 with Mrs. KendallFrazier as teacher. Last year the kindergarten was introduced. Enthusiasm for the school and for thewonderful feeling the children and their parents develop about it has been the prime motive forexpansion. Some families have been involved from the beginning. The group represents a cross-sectionof the community. Mrs. Frazier is now a participating mother and director while remaining a teacher inthe nursery school. The three full-time staff members include John Dancey, . - by Keith AbbottLASCIVIA, by Albright Benton.' It is no secret that most books which are written by m e m b e r s ofacademic communities are insufferably dull and their only virtue lies in the fact that several hundredstudents will be forced into buying the book and bringing profits to the publishing company and prestigeto the department (which probably subsidized the printing of the book anyway). This book, written by ateacher and fellow student at Western, proves a happy exception to this notion. There is very littlespecial knowledge required of the reader of Lascivia in contrast to most academic novels. Nor does thebook have the fault of being about second or third hand knowledge-knowledge gained from books only.Though the book is set in a typical college community, Mr. Benton's observations have a liveliness thatfertilizes this normally barren ground for novelists. The theme, in part, rescues the book from the tediumof modern college life. It is succinctly summed up by the last words of the novel: " . . . we're gonna ball.Ball, ball, "Ball, ball, ball." Although this novel is the sort which suffers when any quotes are taken outof context, this theme suggests the rather streamlined, almost Pop Art, approach that Mr. Bentonsavors. This novel comes off as a well-written examination of c e r t a i n student-teacher relationshipswhich more an experienced teacher who has just moved to Bellingham, and two aides. Parents withspecial skills help teach as well and one or two parents assist during portions of every school day. Theactive participation of p a r e n t s is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the Cooperative School.This school is patterned after the highly successful British I n f a n t School-an open classroom of mixed ages and skills where children set their own pace and are given o p p o r t u n i t i e s to workindependently as well as with each other and with various adults who help them cultivate their specialinterests and talents without employing a consciously authoritarian role. Freedom within a firm structure is the concept. The program provides a broad spectrum: basic, skills and enriched exposure to theliberal arts and the sciences. The school, considered a resource center, is well supplied withchallenging materials for the children to discover and learn by, and with adults who are able to sharetheir knowledge, skills and experience in natural and informal relationships with the children and witheach other. conservative teachers and students have yet to experience. One can only hope that they will "get on the stick," so to speak. Many readers will object to the lack of everyday routine in the novel,but it is the novel's purpose to gently prod the reader out of his usual patterns of living. Although thisreviewer has not entertained any hopes in this direction, it would be a heartwarming display of courtesyif Western's English Department would support one of their colleagues and Lascivia find its rightfulposition in the pantheon of required reading. Informality is the keynote, with warmth and ease, andtherefore growth, as anticipated effects. Children are not formally graded or divided into constantsegments according to their ages, or even according to their abilities. Many "subjects" are representedin the school's offerings, but they are explored as parts of a whole, not as blocks of material to becompleted and ast aside. Some of the activities in the school are more structured than others,depending on their nature. Singing, rhythms, and dramatics, storytelling and games are generally groupefforts, for example, whereas reading, math, scientific inquiries and art are better pursued by theindividual. The Co-op believes that meaningful and economical structures make itjsossible to do. thingsand to cultivate excellence, and in this sense are an important part of human endeavor. But not allpeople, or children, work equally well within the same structure, or at the same time. People, andtherefore children, are not all a c t i v e , c h a t t y , silent, industrious, at precisely the same times ofday. The Co-op CLASSIFIEDS 10 MISC.

Spontaneity of response andconversation is encouraged both i n d i v i d u a l l y and in group situations. Besides spontaneity,creativity and concentration are valued. A child is not required to stop in the middle of an excitingdiscovery and thus relinquish the reward of his own achievement. Neither is he obliged to participate in agroup project against his judgment of the moment. But he is encouraged by every effort of the schoolenvironment to try, to dare, and to succeed. A close record of his progress is kept. He is lovinglysupervised and guided in directions that will permit the greatest success. He is helped not only by adults but by other children, and he in turn helps others. Experience"' has already demonstrated that whenchildren are given adequate outlets for their physical, mental and emotional energies, enough space,enough attention, and enough really interesting things to do, discipline problems are rare. At the veryworst, verbal discouragement and distraction are sufficient to deter actions which the school does notallow, such as damage to people and property or dangerous pastimes. Rivalry among the children isgreatly reduced by the elimination of negative comparisons and the idea that for there to be successesthere must also be failures. The Cooperative School holds that in the modern world accomplishmentwithout pleasure is unlikely, and that without accomplishment pleasure loses its savor. The joy of livingand of learning is a happy marriage between them. The Cooperative School is a determined effort tocultivate the joy of living and of learning.

Flora : part 2 Staff: There is agrowing feeling within both the faculty and s t u d e n t sector that the administration, and particularlyyour office, is becoming more and more a closed kind of system, where decisions concerning thecollege generally are made unilaterally, without the advice and consent and fair representation from theFaculty Council and the student body. How do you respond to that allegation? Flora: I think you'recorrect that there is such a growing feeling. Staff: Is it founded in any substance? Flora: Well, I couldtake each of the charges that have been laid and deal with them specifically. I don't know whether Icould convince you of the validity or non-validity of each of them. But I don't think the charge is generallytrue. But I think we do have a problem that goes way beyond me and my feeble capability. That is theproblem of the decision making apparatus of the institution-a way in which we can bring together thevarious factors, the various elements of the institution. This is something that's concerned me for a longtime, for example let's take the matter of parking. Staff: Could we take the matter of setting a ceiling forenrollment? Flora: Okay. But may I use parking because it's beautifully clear. It cuts across more areas than the matter of enrollment did, that's another problem but it is similar in some respects. Parkingcannot be construed as a faculty problem, it cannot be construed as a student '. problem, as a staffproblem or as an administrative problem. It is all our problem. It's very difficult if you look at the densityof buildings and people on this campus, the number of vehicles and all. And it's an acute problem and ithas been for some time. So you ask yourself how are we going to come to grips with this on either ashort or long range basis? Well we must have some mechanism whereby we can draw them together,the various elements of the campus who have some concern over this. So you say how do you do it?What we have is an Associated Student government that's pretty autonomous, we have a Facultygovernment that's pretty autonomous and values its autonomy, and we have a Staff-Employees Councilthat values its autonomy. Well, you can say one approach to it is for each of them to have a parkingcommittee; then they can each deal with the problem and the administration can scurry about amongthese various committees providing information at their request. Each of these can then report to theirparent body and each parent body can come forth with a set of parking regulations and policies. Atsome juncture we would have a faculty parking policy, a student parking policy and a staff p a r k i n g p o l i c y ; the administration would probably be left out in that mechanism. We'd have great difficulty, asI think you can imagine, in trying to weave this together into one copage which has a, parking problem.So my view of that situation is that we have to have some kind of mechanism that draws them togethernot after positions have been reached but before. So we have students with faculty, with staff; withadministrators working together to come up with a statement that in our view constitutes a reasonableparking policy for the college. Now, at the beginning of this year I met with students, I met with facultyand I met with staff and said "How in the hell are we going to handle this problem of parking?" Theupshot of it was that the students did appoint to a college-wide parking committee studentrepresentation, the staff did; as did the administration. The Faculty Council felt they wanted to approachthis problem in a different way and thus they were reluctant to appoint any faculty to the committee.Accordingly, at that juncture I appointed faculty to the committee, from whom I named the chairman, sothat they could get on with the business. And what they did do, through the year, was to work on this. Idon't know whether t h e students who were a p p o i n t e d by student g o v e r n m e n t r e p o r t eddevelopments back to student government, but it was clearly within their purview and responsibility to doso. I know the staff representative did, in fact, report back. The basic problem is, of course, how is theFaculty Council going to relate to this which they didn't, for other reasons, want to participate in. I amnot in any way being critical of them. I am saying they felt they wanted to approach it in another way.Consequently, we came up with a set of parking regulations and then people argue that they were notadequately consulted. I cite that as a problem. The same kind of problem has existed in regard toplacement, the same kind of p r o b l em existed with We specialize in the Finest Italian Roods 111 E.Magnolia Street Next to Pay 'n Save Orders to Go 734-9365 enrollment, the same kind of problemexists from time to time particularly with very large, very substantive, pervasive problems in theinstitution, that run across all areas and my concern here as president of this institution is how do youcome to grips with it so that people are involved during the solution of the problem rather than after thefact. You can see on the parking example how easily the Faculty Council can prove that they as a b o d y have not been appropriately involved in the parking policy of the college. And indeed they were not.Now you can kick me in the head about it, but that doesn't solve the problem. You can kick the FacultyCouncil in the head about it but that doesn't really solve the problem. In my opinion, and I've been saying this same thing for some years-read my inaugural address-I said three years ago: "We need some kind of governmental structure at this institution, that draws together the various elements of this college."We don't need a student government, in my opinion, we don't need a faculty government, we don't needa staff government. What we need is a college government that has within it students, staff, and faculty. If we can't do that, then I think what we need is some better mechanism when these pervasive problems come along, so that the three major units of g o v e r n m e n t and the administration can worktogether before not after the fact. And I don't know how to do it under the present structure. And I thinkas we grow larger and think about it we're going to have 9,500 kids around here next year. We've addeda new department already this year. We've got two new cluster colleges. We've got more diversity, morevariety. It becomes ever more complicated and the problems become larger. Many of them are morepervasive. And we ask how under the existing structure of this institution can we confront theseproblems in a reasonable and timely way so that all the various elements can feel that they have beenproperly involved. Now I am saying to you it's my opinion that the present structure stinks. And I can'tsee any way of patching this present structure up so it's going to work very well. Three years ago t h eAssociated Student Legislature took the position that if we could adopt at this institution a form ofcollege government that appropriately involved students, the Associated Student Legislature woulddissolve itself. I doubt very much if the present Legislature feels that way, but that's the way that onefelt. I thought that was an heroic and statesman-like posture on the part of student government in thisinstitution. I think it important that we, in some way, seek to confront this problem, because it's going toget worse under the present arrangement. The president of this institution-if not me, someone else andit doesn't matter a bit who it is in my opinion-is going to be continually confronted with what you've said,because it will be true. Because the one thing you cannot do, in my opinion| is to let this institutionstagnate simply because our decision making mechanism is decrepit. I can't do it! I love this college! Ithink it's a great institution! But I think it can be made greater! But the decisionmaking process is abasic barrier to greatness right now! We can't respond quickly enough unless the president by unilateral action says that will be! That's the only way we can get the velocity that is sometimes called for. As Ithink back over the painful steps that Ethnic Studies went through to become established in thisinstitution, I am appalled that it was the subject of two ad hoc committees and I don't know how manyreports to Academic Council. It was presented to the long range planning committee and was thesubject of an ad hoc committee of Faculty Council, and approved in the Faculty Council, and I don'tknow how many other steps. The enormous time and numbers of different phases where everybodysays, I the lt;g Barb ering entry Stuart Bishop, Prop. I across from B.B. Furniture No. 8 Prospect"it's my bag, I've got to be involved, too! You left me out, why did you do that?" There's no deliberateattempt to leave anyone out, but under the present structure it is so unearthly complicated that if wetake a vital issue, and one which must be decided with dispatch and there are these problems, and weknow it-if we take that vital issue, and we go around to every base in this college which feels it's got theright, and the president has the duty to involve them appropriately; I tell you we're going to stop at thatpoint and there won't be anything happening but chaos like we can't imagine. I think that if this problemis not solved, if this institution cannot come to grips with a better decision making apparatus than wehave now,, then we ought to just sit back and condemn ourselves to the worst kind of mediocrity andsay to hell with it, we're not worthy. I think we can do it. We have before us right now a proposal, from acommittee that did involve students, and faculty and staff and administrators. That committee workedlong and hard for the better part of a year and has put forward a proposal. Granted this kind of proposalhas to be inadequate, but it's an effort, it's a step. It puts forward a government which does indeed involve students, it does indeed involve faculty, it does indeed involve staff, and administrators; and what is thereaction I hear around this college? Students say it's not good because there are not enough students.Faculty say it's not good because there are not enough faculty. I think probably it's going to fail,because we sit back on our very jealous prerogative butts and are concerned more about ourresponsibilities in whatever role we happen to serve, than we are in putting forward better decisions forthe benefit of those generations who are going to come to this place tomorrow. I didn't mean to give aspeech on this subject, but I get all distrought over it because it is to me the essence of difficulty notonly at Western, but at Eastern, Central, the U. of W., W.S.U., Columbia and San Francisco State andyou can name your institution, because it takes too damn long to get fundamental decisions made byhaving appropriately considered those fundamental people who should be there.

Outside Agitator The FacultyCouncil has received a proposed bill by State Senator John Stender of Seattle which would, if passed bythe State Legislature, impose "Rules of conduct for students enrolled in (state) institutions of highereducation." The bill, sent to the Faculty Council by Academic Dean R. D. Brown for their comments,met with unfavorable comments by most of the Council members, most stating that the state legislatureshould allow the colleges to establish their own code of conduct. Two college publications, The Navigatorand The Faculty Handbook, presently supply students and faculty with a code of conduct. , Teacher ofthe Year The Summer Board of Control voted to wait until Fall quarter to select the Teacher of the Yearfor the 1969-70 academic year. The decision resulted from the general feeling that other teachers mighthave been nominated during the regular school year because many students are gone during thesummer. William Heid received four nominations. Eight other serious nominations were received. Theseincluded Edward Jacobs, Sociology/Anthropology department; Ellwood Johnson, English department; J.Gary Kepi, Political Science department; Daniel Lamer, English department; Phillip Montague,Philosophy department; David Pevear, Geography department; Merle Prim, Psychology department; andHoward Teasley, Economics department. Among the nominations were several obvious put-ons.Students submitted reasons for their nominations, three of which were as follows: Manfred Vernon,Political Science-"For irony's sake"; Joe Gould, Oral History, "For his translation of Longfellow intoseagull" (apparently a fictitious person and department); and Gerson Miller, English, "Because he'dshrivel with humiliation if he got the award."

"Did the alarm clock go off?" . . . "Hey Al?" . . . "Ya?"..."I'll get up if you do." "But man, it's fucking cold out there!" . . . "Yah man, but we're supposed to bestarted by 2 a.m." " . . . Ohhhhhhhhhhh, hell." It really wasn't THAT cold, although we were camped at6,600 feet immediately below Mt. Baker's Eastern Glacier. We were planning to begin our ascent of themountain about 2 a.m., but the wind blowing off the glacier combined with the ridiculous hour of themorning was enough to keep anyone in the sack. Four members of the party never even got started.After a breakfast goulash of rice, stew, and lasagne, we finally departed around 3 a.m. just as false dawn was beginning to lighten the east. The mountain above seemed to be glowing in the pale light of the fullmoon, as were all the peaks around us. . The drudgery of climbing began to set in as the sun finallyrose, and the crevasses became increasingly more abundant the higher we went. Looking down into acrevasse from a somewhat unstable snow bridge for the first time is a rather unsettling experience noone is likely to forget, some of the crevasses being 200 or so feet deep with sheer blue-ice walls.Around 10 a.m. we reached the final wall, and could look up at the summit about a thousand by LynWatts feet above us; two hours later we were on top. The summit is a large flat plain the size of three or four football fields, with the true summit being an obvious knoll on the eastern edge. A register on theknoll contains the names of those having climbed the mountain since 1967. We ate lunch in a strongwind, surrounded by a view of what seemed to be every mountain in the Cascades. Bellingham lookedlike a puny d a r k blotch next to Rainier reared up even higher than ourselves. The view? It would haveto be seen to be believed. Mt. Baker is classified as an active volcano; the clouds of steam and sulfurrising out of several vents in the crater below us gave testimony to the fact that Baker is alive and well.The descent of the mountain was fairly easy; the snow was so soft that we could fairly run down thesteepest slopes, although we were always roped together and kept a good watch for crevasses.Crossing some snow bridges was sometimes pretty scary; some that had been solid in the morningwere weakened by the afternoon sun. However, we made the descent without incident. Several of uswere dead tired, with various sunburns and other ailments distributed among us.

FRIDAY, April-119 2003 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 125 Issue 3 Bellingham, Washington Cultures clash in overseas study War exposes anti-American views By Andy Aley THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Andy Bennett's opposition to the war in Iraq eclipsed his American identity during the six months he recently spent studying in Germany and Spain. Bennett said his political views and participation in anti-war protests made his stay go much smoother than it would have had he supported the war. 'T was able to make friends and actually sought out those groups," Bennett said. "I was the American who wasn't the American. I wasn't the ugly American. I wasn't the jackass walking around with a big American flag draped over his head." The war in Iraq is affecting international students at Western and students from Western studying abroad in a variety of ways. Western students studying abroad have encountered anti- American sentiments while sometimes experiencing and taking part in massive protests against the actions of their government. "I encountered a very significant amount of anti-war protests," Bennett said. "I was in Valencia February 15, when there were big worldwide demonstrations. Out of a town of 900,000 people, 500,000 showed up to march." Bennett said that despite his opposition to the war, many of the people he met See OVERSEAS, Page 4 Students camp out in Red Square By Jennifer Segadelli THE WESTERN FRONT Several students involved in Western's new branch of Habitat for Humanity spent the night in Red Square Wednesday in an attempt to make students aware of the. poverty in Whatcom County and the world. The HFH's ultimate goal for the sleep-in is to earn enough money to build a completely student-funded house for a family living in Whatcom County, said Alicia Harp, Western's HFH vice president. In addition to informing students about the establishment of Western's HFH group, members work with the local affiliate Habitat for Humanity Whatcom County to help provide affordable housing for those in need. "It started because a worker at the affiliate wanted to get campus and community awareness about housing needs and the Habitat for Humanity mission," said Western freshman Jenni Cinq-Mars, the Western HFH secretary. The "shanty town" in Red Square, created with tents and boxes, was the first step in making students conscious of the needs of members in the community, and, according to Cinq-Mars, this information is Keith Boiling/The Western Front The glow of candle-lit paper bags illuminated Red Square Wednesday night in front of the tents of several students affiliated with Western's branch of Habitat for Humanity. The Information on the bags described motivations for the campout. pertinent and necessary in light of the global situation. "Amidst a time like the one we are in, with war in Iraq, it's important to realize there are people in our own community who still need assistance," she said. Western freshman Megan Elmer, and Western HFH fund-raiser coordinator, said she agrees that amid current confusion, students can easily have narrow perspectives of situations around them. "We forget that we live in dorms and houses and our parents probably own a house or something to live in, and there are people in our own community who have nothing," she said. Members also said they want to bring the complexity of poverty to the forefront in the minds of Western students and the Western community. "I want people to realize that the issue of poverty is not See SLEEP-IN, Page 6 Western grads struggle to find work tomorrow By Brad Nehring THE WESTERN FRONT Although graduation is traditionally a time for celebration, said Marcia Lewis, assistant director of operations at the Western Career Services Center, recent trends in the economy and the job market suggest that a new problem awaits young people after graduation: lack of jobs. Every year, the Career Services Center conducts a survey of all the Western graduates from the previous year. The survey is used to compile statistics such as average annual salary and whether students were able to find employment related to their major or field of study. ""^ These figures tend to reflect the current job market. Because of the stagnant economy, the figures from the classes of 2001- 2002 were considerably lower than the previous year, Lewis said. "The trend we are finding is that it is more difficult to find jobs," Lewis said. "This is. directly related to the economy. Employers are being more cautious; they are trying to foresee problems in the future." As a result, students are not getting the jobs or the salaries they want, Lewis said. In the survey of the class of 2000-2001, for uhe engineering and technology majors, findings show that 75 percent of those interviewed found a job related to their major, with an average salary of $40,048; for 2001-2002 grads, 67.7 percent found related jobs, with an average salary of $37,604. For students graduating in 2000-2001 from the finance department, 77.3 percent were able to find related jobs with an average salary of $32,450; in 2001-2002, 63 percent of students were able to find related jobs with an average salary of $32,132. For 2000-2001 graduates from the physical education/health/recreation department, 66.7 percent found jobs related to their major, with an average salary of $23,250, and in the 2001-2002 class, 62.9 percent found related jobs with an average salary of $20,300. Scott Spiegelberg, assistant director of See JOBS, Page 3 AS board candidates meet, prepare for campaign By Kevin Bruaw THE WESTERN FRONT Candidates running for the 2003-2004 Associated Students board met Thursday night in the Viking Union to . discuss the strict rules for this year's campaign. The 15 candidates running for the seven open positions on next year's AS board discussed the harsh campaigning rules, and coordinators gave detailed examples of when and where the candidates can campaign. Nicole Hall, Western senior and election coordinator, said the strictness of the rules stems from the amount of candidates who are currently part of the AS board or have been involved with AS in the past. '1 think a lot of the questions (from the candidates) stem from that," Hall said. Candidates said they were concerned about the rules for their friends campaigning for them in classrooms and in residence halls. According to election rules, candidates cannot campaign in classrooms or go door to door in residence halls. Students campaigning for a certain candidate can have signs posted in or around their rooms and they can wear T-shirts that support a certain candidate. Candidates wanted to be sure of election guidelines so they can See CANDIDATES, Page 4 Kevin Bruaw/ The Western Front Western junior Grant Goodall, left, talks to Western junior and AS VP of business operations Tony Russo at the Associated Students candidate meeting Thursday night.

NATIONAL NEWS New York police arrest 33 in Sept. 11 charity scams Police have arrested 33 people, including shelter residents and government employees, for allegedly stealing nearly $135,000 from charities helping victims. of the World Trade Center attacks. Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said Thursday that the latest arrests bring the number of people his office has charged with defrauding charities and government agencies helping victims of the Sept. 11, attacks to 245. He said approximately $3.6 million has been paid in fraudulent claims, and very little of it has been recovered. INTERNATIONAL NEWS IRA denies blame for peace accord impasse Dashing expectations of a breakthrough, Britain and Ireland withheld their new Northern Ireland peace plans Thursday after failing to get long-sought commitments from the Irish Republican Army, government aides said. Sinn Fein party leader Gerry Adams, a reputed IRA chief, insisted the outlawed group was not responsible for the deadlock. Thursday, the fifth anniversary of the U.S.- brokered Good Friday accord, was the two governments' target date for announcing the new plans. Saddam statue brought down in Baghdad square An Iraqi mosque preacher said he is 49 years old but has never lived a single day. Now, he says he can "start living." The preacher is one of the Baghdad residents who bashed at a towering statue of Saddam Hussein with a sledgehammer. Earlier, a large crowd of Iraqis pelted the statue with shoes and slippers â€” a major insult in the Arab world. Eventually, a U.S. Marine vehicle brought the statue down. Before bringing it down, the Marines briefly draped an American flag over the statue's head. Airstrikes target Saddam's half brother Coalition warplanes bombed an Iraqi intelligence operations site early Friday occupied by Saddam Hussein's half brother, a close adviser who allegedly helped stash millions of dollars abroad for the Iraqi leader.

"Many companies are cutting back and laying people off, and as a result, fewer people are being hired straight out of college," Spiegelberg said. Spiegelberg offered a helpful guide for career planning to cope with the startling trends. Networking with professors, the career center, advisers and visiting employers can help students gain a sense of where they want to go in their career, he said. Attending career fairs and contacting companies that visit the campus is also important. "It is beneficial for students to make contacts and network as early as possible," Spiegelberg said. "Students should also compile a clear and concise resume." Students should be persistent, because jobs will always be available for students that have a positive outlook, Spiegelberg added. Susan Anderson, employer outreach specialist for the Career Services Center, also provided advice to graduates. "Usually, students have certain expectations when they graduate," Anderson said. "Sometimes, they should take a look at their expectations and modify them; not necessarily lower their standards, but gain a realistic perspective of the job market. They should talk to people who are out working so they can adjust their expectations accordingly. The key is to start the job search early, but it's never too late to get your name out there."

Grant Goodall, Western junior and presidential candidate, said he hopes to increase school spirit and give students an alternative to the off-campus party scene by arranging on-campus events, such as live concerts. A concern for many candidates is getting clubs and other organizations more recognition from the AS. "The wake- boarding club just went and placed second at nationals in Florida, and nobody really knows about that," said Jason Wilmot, Western junior and candidate for vice president of activities. Terri Luek, Western junior and presidential candidate, said she is hoping to cut frivolous spending in the AS budget and wants Sodexho to lower its food prices and pay its employees more. "(Sodexho) should see us as students, not consumers," Luek said. The positions open for next year's board are president, vice president of academic affairs, vice president of activities, vice president of business and operations* vice president of legislative and community affairs, vice president of diversity and vice president of student life. Campaigning for AS positions officially starts at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 12 in Red Square, where each candidate will have 15 minutes to speak to students. The first debate will be 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. April 21 in .VU 552 . Election coordinators are predicting voter turnout will increase from last year's 10-percent voter turnout, Hall said. "I don't think a lot of people realize what goes on in the AS," Hall said. The AS is trying to remedy the poor voter turnout by getting the board more publicized around campus, Hall said. Overseas: International students compare mass media Continued from Page 1 initially distrusted him. Just to keep the peace, he often told people he was either German or Spanish, depending on what country he was in. 'T never felt in danger for being a U.S. citizen," he said. "But at the same time if people asked, I said I was German. When I was in Germany, when people asked, I said I was Spanish. There's no reason to advertise it; that's asking for trouble." Matthew Dearborn, a Western junior currently studying in Spain, said popular opinion there is almost completely against â€¢ the U.S. and ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Spanish govern-mWhile anti-war 'It's becoming completely protesters in irrational, and people are Barcelona and talking about things they M athieu Dehgan French student Madrid have van , , , , . dalized McDonalds don f know anything and other chain about! businesses associated with American capitalism, Dearborn said he did not personally encounter rudeness or hostility. "I was in the first anti-war rally in Sevilla at the beginning of the war," he said. "No one said anything rude to me or my American friends while we were there." International students studying at Western have had different experiences, mostly because of the way the media in their home country portray the war and because of heightened U.S. security measures. More than 400 international students are currently studying at Western, said Liz Partolan-Fray, director of International Programs and Exchanges. Li Guo, a Western graduate student from China who is studying political science, said U.S. policy toward international students has become stricter, despite China's neutral stance. Guo said she has to report her current residence to the U.S. government and fill out a form if she wishes to move. She said she has had trouble crossing the U.SVCanada border while with American friends. Guo said the status of financial aid and student visas is also more uncertain because of the war. Guo said she is worried about not being able to come back to the United States if she goes home this summer. Western freshman Mathieu Dehgan, a French student majoring in communications, said the media coverage of the war is his biggest concern. It has caused his family to feel uneasy about him being in the United States. "When I came back from (traveling in California during spring break), they didn't know exactly where I was day per day," Dehgan said. "My mother called me and asked me if I had any trouble because she was really scared because of what she saw when she was watching TV." Dehgan, who reads American, French and Spanish newspapers, said that while he believes the French and European media have been more objective than American media, both have their faults. "When (American media is) talking about France or Germany, you rarely have any direct point of view expressed by representatives of these countries," Dehgan said. "And you have congressmen who say 'freedom fries and freedom toast'; it's completely irrational and pretty stupid. FOX News and CNN are the most known media, and they are completely crazy. It's kind of competition to see who will be the more nationalist. I really consider it propaganda." Dehgan said French media, especially alternative publications that express opinionated views of the United States, have spread fear and misinformation. He said French media circulated rumors of French students in America claiming to be Canadian to avoid discrimination. "The problem in France, in particular, is a growing irrational* feeling about the U.S.A.," he said. "People are talking about things they don't know anything about." Dearborn said the news media in Spain often show graphic images not seen on American television. "It's really eye-opening," Dearborn said. "They even say on the news here that the images that we are seeing at certain points will not be shown on the news in the U.S. because the government fears that it could lower support for the war. They've shown anything from POW videos to home video of U.S. and Kurdish forces being bombed by the U.S. on accident." While Bennett said the war would not have made him reconsider leaving America to study in Spain, Dehgan said European media coverage would have swayed his decision. "I would have probably been quite influenced by the media in France and Europe in general," Dehgan said. "I probably would have tried to study closer to Europe. When this kind of international conflict starts, you get scared, and that's a normal reaction. I'm here, and I'm conscious that Iraq is really far away and there is not a lot of risk, but the way the media presents that is really different." Mike Alton/The Western Front Western library employee Eric Mastor and Western gardener Jerome Wolfe plant trees outside Old Main to mark the beginning of Arbor Day. Arbor Day event beautifies campus By Matt DeVeau THE WESTERN FRONT The atmosphere that Western's physical setting establishes on campus is an important part of university life, and ornamental trees add to that beauty, Western President Karen Morse said. Western gardener Jerome Wolfe and Wilson Library employee Eric Mastor planted two ornamental trees Wednesday in observance of Arbor Day, a national celebration that encourages tree planting. The trees, a White Tigress Stripebark maple and a dove tree are planted on the north side of the area known as the bird sanctuary across High Street from the Viking Commons. "(The tree planting) is going to add to the beauty of the campus," Morse said. "The trees were selected so that they would fit into this part of the bird sanctuary." Western Outdoor/Fleet Maintenance Services purchased the trees, which cost approximately $250 together^ Wolfe said. "We could not have done this had (Manager of Western's Outdoor/Fleet Maintenance Services) Gene Wright not been so forthcoming with money," Wolfe said. "I think that he sees that this is going to be something we will do every year." The maple tree, which is known for its distinctive white bark with black stripes, was planted in the shadow of Douglas fir trees on the northern slope of the knoll in the bird sanctuary, Wolfe said. The dove tree, known for its white, bird-shaped flowers, now grows in the spot where a red alderwood tree that had been dead for a number of years was recently removed, Wolfe said. Wolfe, who has a degree in forestry, said the Dove tree should grow to a height of approximately 30 feet, and the maple should reach 25 feet. Christine Kendall, a reference specialist in the Wilson Library, said library employees and Outdoor/Fleet Maintenance Services have been working together to call attention to special trees on campus. "It would be nice to have a campus map of trees just like we have a campus map of sculptures," Kendall said.

Mike Abendhoff, public relations director for the British Petroleum refinery in Ferndale, said the price of crude oil dropped from approximately $35 per barrel before the war to $25 per barrel currently. As prices^ decrease at the wholesale level, the retail benefits may not be fully seen for some time, Abendhoff said. Jere Edwards, manager of Buck's Texaco in Bellingham, said even though the price per barrel has dropped, retailers continue to sell at the price of their last order. Meaning, at least in the short term, consumers should expect to see prices drop through the summer. At Lakeway Texaco, regular unleaded sells for $1.78 a gallon, compared to $1.89 one month ago. The war itself does not cause the price of petroleum to decrease, Western economics professor Julia Hansen said. "Prices go up before the war starts in anticipation," she said. "The reason for that are concerns about the oil supply being affected." Hansen "said that as the war continues, consumers' buying habits return to normal, bringing the demand back down. The market's troubles are not completely over â€” some concerns still exist about the oil strike in Venezuela, which have contributed to the rise in gas prices during the past four months. Refineries in Venezuela have not yet resumed full production, Hansen said. "Oil is a global market," she said. "Anything that disturbs supply causes prices to go up all over the world." Like many other local businesses, oil producers and retailers have seen little change in profit because of the war, said Mike Brennan, president of the Bellingham- Whatcom Chamber of Commerce. BP is producing at the same capacity that they produced before the war, Abendhoff said. Retailers also remain financial- Senate, governor's budget proposals draw line between winners and losers By Tara Nelson THE WESTERN FRONT The Senate made its attempt to tackle the state's $2.6 billion budget deficit last Wednesday when it released the 2003-2005 budget proposal. The proposal, which closely resembles Gov. Locke's budget plan, would cut spending on state-funded social programs to avoid tax increases. The Senate proposal includes provisions that would reduce funding of uni- Rep. Maralyn Chase, D-Edmonds, said most Democrats are concerned with how cuts in social programs would hurt the poor and elderly. She said she hopes the House proposal will reflect that concern. "I want to raise taxes," Chase said. "I want to protect the people." Still, many citizens are vehemently opposed to any tax increase. Political activist Tim Eyman has already threatened to chal-lenge any tax versity and col lege operating costs, children's medical coverage and state grants for family planning clinics, to name a few. Dennis Murphy, dean of Western's College of Business and Economics, said the state's previous budget is no longer sustainable in today's economic climate. "We're growing a lot more slowly than the past seven or eight years," Murphy said. "We got hooked on fairly rapid economic growth, which is unsustainable." Locke's proposal followed similar lines as it reduced or eliminated certain programs to avoid tax or fee increases. The Democratic House, however, is working on its own budget proposal, which could vary drastically. 7 want to raise taxes. I want to protect the people! Maralyn Chase Representative, D- Edmonds increase on the November ballot. "Raising taxes and fees are only going to make economic c o n d i t i o n s worse," Eyman, a co-sponsor of several citizen initiatives, including 1-776, which set license tabs to $30. "Our state budget only works in a really strong economy." Murphy said a tax increase may not be a viable solution to the state's deficit. "Considerable evidence shows that raising taxes would not be good for economic growth," Murphy said. Chase, however, said she would like to see more long-term visionary thought on the issue. "I will not put old folks out on the street or let these kids off health care," Chase said. "We're only going to pay for it in the long run."

Edwards said regardless of wholesale price, the profit margin is still relative. "We always make the same profit, no matter what we buy," she said. Hansen said since Iraq produces a small amount of oil, the war's outcome will probably have little impact on the economy. "It would take several years to expand to increase production in Iraq," Hansen said. "Preliminary investigation of southern oil fields show that Iraqis have-not kept up equipment." Sleep-in: Red Square camp raises money for housing Continued from Page 1 just a money issue," Harp said. "It can be a class issue, a race issue and a government issue. We want to raise awareness of the complexity of it because it's not just black and white." The creation of the "shanty town" was only the first step in the crusade to remove poverty housing from Bellingham and other Whatcom County cities. In celebration of Habifest, a national day to raise awareness for homelessness, Western HFH will sponsor an event at 8 p.m. Friday at Stuart's Coffee House. Performances will include The Pale and Dead Parrots Society, as well as a guest speaker for Habitat for Humanity. "I think the reason we decided to do this and put so much into it is because we want Western students to know what Habitat for Humanity is and that we now have a branch here on campus," Western HFH President and Western junior Naomi Boyd said. "Our goal is to educate and hopefully get people involved in carrying out our mission." According to Habitat for Humanity, it takes more than a hammer to build a home. Western HFH hopes that Western students will continue their support and help make the goal of defeating poverty a reality. BREWERY BISTRO Wed.

BELLINGHAM - In today's culture, cafes have become friendly gathering places for meeting and discussing things with others. "So, why not consider'church'a friendly place to gather and discuss pur faith journey?" asks David Korsen, pastor of Fourth Corner Community Church. "And what better place to do that than in a cafe-style setting?" Beginning Sunday, April 13, Fourth Corner is "revisioning" their Sunday AM worship gathering as a coffeehouse they are calling the SOLID GROUNDS CAFE. Worshippers will have the option of sitting at coffeehouse-style tables or 'traditional seating." "Some may think this sounds 'sacrilegious'," says Korsen. "But from a scriptural standpoint, 'table fellowship' has always been central to Christian gatherings. In fact, in the â€¢ Free espresso at Solid Grounds Cafe early years of Christianity, churches met in the informal setting of homes." Also, in order to bring a missions focus to SOLID GROUNDS, Fourth Corner will be serving Pura Vida Coffee whose net profits benefit at-risk children in coffee growing regions of the world. Fourth Corner is located at 4071 Home Road, near the intersection of Bakerview and Northwest. Worship is at 10:00 AM Sundays. For more information, call 647-LIFE or visit wwwlfourthcorner.net.

The April 2 grand opening of the Underground Coffeehouse, on the third floor of the Viking Union, proved substituting Bigfoot's Bistro's pool tables for an array of couches for lounging and socializing was the right business move. "On the first day we opened we made $88, doubling the amount of money that the Bistro would bring in during one month," Associated Student Productions director Fontaine Phillips said.

Â°"eehouse at its grand^6* ?* ^OVfmotion ni Keith "The walls at the Bistro were some sort of bright turquoise 1980s color, and if people actually went there, it could get pretty loud," Olson said. "The coffeehouse is much more conducive to studying because it's more quiet." The Underground Coffeehouse has 11 couches for resting or eating lunch. Two computers located at the coffee bar have Internet access. The coffeehouse serves Tony's Fair Trade coffee and espresso along with a choice of soups, sandwiches and bakery items. Free live entertainment is featured Tuesday and Friday nights starting at 8-p.m. Olson said Phillips saw an opportunity to take Bigfoot's Bistro, which was losing money, and change it into a place to feature local music. "No one ever came down to the Bistro," Phillips said. "The place was losing $10,000 a year. The Underground Coffeehouse lets college students and local bands showcase their talents in front of a college crowd." Western freshman Laura Isenhart and senior Seth Spangler said Flowmotion's set was *-pÂ«JXÂ£*,**Â»Â»â„¢ ground the opening. perfect addition to the atmosphere at the coffeehouse. "I really like the tone of the singer's voice tonight," Isenhart said. "It's not too loud, so if you want to talk with friends, you don't have to shout. But if you want to get into it and rock out in front of the stage, you can do that too." Spangler said his roommate purchased Flowmotion's CD two months ago. "We would try to catch (Flowmotion) at the Wild Buffalo, but it never worked out," ^ Spangler said. "We finally got a chance to see them when we heard they'd be playing at the coffeehouse. It's easy listening music for anyone." Isenhart said she thought the music was appealing to all tastes. "The music was pretty diverse," Isenhart said. "Everyone could enjoy it. It wasn't abrasive rock with a loud, screaming singer or anything. It was music a lot of people could enjoy. It wasn't for any selective group." ASP co-coordinator Casey McNerthney said the coffeehouse does not offer a large '* amount of money to performers, but the venue offers other benefits that attract bands. "We offered (Pat) Burtis $100 to play," McNerthney said. "I didn't think he'd accept, but he did. The college campus market is a great way to get word of mouth going about an act, and people coming to the coffeehouse are coming for the music, not to drink beer." McNerthney said the Underground Coffeehouse is booking national acts, such as # Burtis, who would normally charge at least $1,000 for a concert. "I've noticed acts accepting a low price to play because it's a college campus," McNerthney said. "Bands realize that if one student likes the music, he or she will go tell all their friends, and then they'll start burning CDs and attending their shows." Western freshman Mindy Blonsky said the Underground Coffeehouse has a Stuart's Coffeehouse and Starbucks feel without having to leave campus. ^ "I think this is what the school needed," Blonsky said. "We have places to eat on campus but we didn't have places to come and hang out and just socialize with friends. It seems like this place wouldn't care if you came in and just relaxed for three hours." Isenhart said the familiar scene at the Underground Coffeehouse reminded her of the comforts of home. "It feels like you're just hanging out in a friend's basement like you normally ^ would," Isenhart said. She said Wednesday open mic nights are an attraction for several of her friends. "If you're not in a real band that plays shows, you can come here and display your skills to the college crowd," Isenhart said. Spangler said the turnout at the grand opening impressed him. "I'm running into a lot of people I have classes with who I don't get a chance to social- Â£ ize with in class," Spangler said. "Tonight I finally got an opportunity to talk with them out of the classroom setting." McNerthney said once people are aware of the Underground Coffeehouse, they will begin to inform people about the upcoming music schedule. . "I'm really optimistic about the success the coffehouse will see," McNerthney said. "I've seen a couple hundred people filtering in and out of here the past couple days, and that's more than I've seen in the past three years going to the Bistro." ^ The Underground Coffeehouse is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 11 Keith Boiling/ The Western Front P-m- and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. Flowmotion plays to onlookers as they sip coffee and play board games; The The bands Garden Variety Tsar and Can I Be She-Ra will perform tonight at 8 p.m., Underground Coffeehouse will feature live music every Tuesday and Friday. and The Geese will perform Tuesday, April 15. ---------- Western Front 2003 April 11 - Page 9 ---------- April .11, 2003 Accent Hie Western Front â€¢ 9 Artistic spirit Finding inspiration in Buddhism and mythology By Melena Eaton The Western Front After writing her prayer down and folding the paper in half, four-year-old Emma Durbin lifted the top of one of the prayer wheels artist Chris Moench had created and dropped it in. Setting the top back in place, she starts the wheel spinning to send her prayer and the prayers of others into the universe to be fulfilled. Moench's prayer wheels, a collection called "The Axis of Hope: Prayer Wheels for Our Time," are currently displayed at the Allied Arts Gallery alongside Nana Thebus' "Saints , Daemons Collection." The exhibit featuring Moench. and Thebus, both Bellingham residents, opened April 2 and is the first gallery show for both. Moench said Tibetan Buddhist prayer Although she did not know the song well, Western Japanese professor Michiko Yusa sang the song after hearing someone else do the same. "I think it was a nice way to honor a piece of art," Yusa said. "I think it's fabulous. We want to wish well for t he world, and the timing (of the exhibit) is very symbolic." Bob Luitweiler, a Bellingham resident and fellow artist, said he enjoyed Moench's and T h e b u s ' pieces. "These pieces show an extraordinary v e r s a t i l i t y ," enced what kinds of color and patterns that I use."

Moench built the prayer wheels using stoneware clay to create several pieces that connected together. He then carved images into the surface of the wheel which are meant to tell a story in a continuous cycle as the wheel is turned ^ on its base. He submitted 29 wheels for the exhibit. Many people spent time with the prayer wheel "Breaking the Shackles," which featured carvings of Martin Luther King Jr. giving a speech, a chain gang working in a field and a slave ship. Another prayer wheel entitled "Dona Nobis Pacem # ( G i v e Us Peace)" is named after a Latin song that is sung in rounds. The carvings in the wheel displayed the music and lyrics to the song and are meant to be read as the wheel is turned.

"Shakziel," the angel of water insects, is the inspiration Thebus' collection consists of handfor a figure decorated in blue and white fabric with made hanging figures. Each figure is unique and made from various materials including stoneware, dried paper and objects such as pieces of metal that she finds and saves for future use. Thebus sometimes created the figure by choosing a deity's name and materials to match, while others she began by creating the figures using whatever materials seemed to fit together and then researched the name of the deity it resembled when finished. She used her extensive mythology research to inspire the figures. "I love doing the research for them," Thebus said. The figures, not named after gods, goddesses or angels that many would recognize, are divided into groups based on the elements of air, earth, wind and fire. a pale orange dragonfly wing on each arm. Thebus said her knowledge of many different cultures influenced her work. She lived overseas in Thailand and Iran as a child and has since traveled to Europe, South America, Australia and the Middle East. "Being exposed to diverse cultural art forms has influenced what kinds of color and patterns that I use," Thebus said. "I am always inclined to use themes from other cultures." Moench and Thebus were selected to display their work together because showing the collections together enhanced them, Thebus said. The Allied Arts Gallery is displaying the exhibit through April 26. Admission is free. They hold it down By Jeanna Barrett The Western Front Through dim lights and trails of smoke that quietly drift toward the ceiling, customers at The Factory, a bar on State Street, sit in triads at dispersed tables and shout bits of conversation through the heavy drum beats resounding throughout the bar. The three musicians on stage move their bodies to the beat of the music. The guitarist sings into the microphone with his eyes closed and occasionally rocks his body back and forth during his guitar solos. The only light on stage is deep red and it emphasizes the melancholy music the band plays. "Thank you, we're Whatcom Falls!," guitarist and lead vocalist Charley McCoy said as the song ended. Whatcom Falls! is a local three-piece band including McCoy, drummer Mike VanBuskirk and bassist and backup vocalist Shauna Leibold. For two years, the band has brought its guitar-driven modern rock to local venues throughout Whatcom County. "If being hurt was an negative aspects of life and has trouble seeing the positive side. "I think many people like to see the world through rose-colored glasses, not admitting that life is never easy and is full of deception," he said. 'Tf being hurt was an educational tool â€” I'd be a frickin' genius." McCoy recognizes his sadness as an emotional state that "bleeds creativity," he said. Feeling is McCoy's top priority in his music, and these emotions make rock valid, he said. "I think a lot of bands don't touch on emotion because they are too concerned with other less important 'issues' like their hair," McCoy said. . . â€”r- â€” - *^. . n Â« Whatcom FaUs! drummer VanBuskirk â€ž , Photo comiesy of Chns Fuller. appreciates the music McCoy writes and Charley McCoy of Whatcom Falls! plays to the crowd during a the emotional sound he strives for. recent performance at the 3B Tavern.

Whatcom Falls! is a self-taught musician Charley McCoy with approximately one dozen years of Guitarist and lead vocalist experience, McCoy said. Whatcom Falls! did not name the band for the park, but referring to the decline of the power of government and ideals in Whatcom County, McCoy said. "It is basically referring to an end of things county-wide," he said. "Like, T'm over (the power structure); and I'm taking over,' like, 'get down and stay down!'" McCoy composes the music and writes the lyrics for each song Whatcom Falls! plays. Bands that musically influence McCoy are The Pixies and Nirvana. McCoy considers his music to be personal therapy and writes lyrics about "darker stuff," referring to melancholy events in life such as the loss of friendships and women, he said. McCoy admits he tends to focus on the adds to the darkness, and it makes me able to add emotion in my playing." VanBuskirk described Whatcom Falls!'s sound as passionate, heavy and loud. "Our sound is sometimes punishing as far as (McCoy's) and (Leibold's) guitar sound," he said. "Charley gets a lot of what some people would call a grinding and irritating sound on the guitar. The amp is almost shrieking with pain, it sounds like, and that just adds more passion." Whatcom Falls! considers their music and lyrics to be equally important, and McCoy enjoys experimenting with noise, including feedback and distortion, he said. "In a three-piece (band), it's just real basic," McCoy said. "You gotta use stuff sparingly but in the right places to keep the dynamics up â€” especially in rock." Bellingham resident Dustin Fronterhouse compared a few of Whatcom FallsJ's songs to Nirvana and said he enjoyed the band and their sound. "They had a really good beat, and that's what I was kickin* on," Fronterhouse said. Bellingham resident Steve Prehoda described McCoy's voice as a rock version of the lead singer of the Crash Test Dummies. He said Whatcom FallsJ's music'is similar to the simplicity of the White Stripes. "They flow well together," Prehoda said. "The music is simple, and they don't have complicated bass lines." ' Whatcom FallsJ's current CD "Fall, Whatcom, Fall," is an EP, a short length CD and is sold at Whatcom FallsJ's shows for $5. Besides performing throughout Whatcom County, Whatcom Falls! has played at venues in Seattle, including the bar Graceland. Until now, McCoy considered Whatcom Falls! to be a hobby, but he would like to take the band to the next level, he said. "We have the local thing going on real strong now and we want to start touring eventually," McCoy said. 'Td like to do it as a job. It's tough; if you can make it work then why not? It beats mowing lawns and digging ditches." Whatcom Falls! will be playing next at Western's Rock 'n' Wrestling Show in Carver Gym April 19. Â» ---------- Western Front 2003 April 11 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural April 11, 2003 Vikings sweep Crusader double-header By Matt DeVeau THE WESTERN FRONT Batting against soft-tossing pitchers with glacial fastballs nearly threw off the Western softball team's offense, but the Vikings were able to scratch out enough runs to sweep a double-header from Northwest Nazarene University Thursday at Viking Field. Western drove in three runs in each game, more than enough support for Western sophomore pitcher Sarah Diamond and Western senior pitcher Nancy Mills, both of whom pitched complete games to help the Vikings to victories of 3-0 and 3-1. With the wins, the Vikings' record improved to 18-13 overall and 8-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. "Today I think the majority of our team's approach was to wait because (NNU's) pitchers throw the slowest that we're going to see," Western senior catcher Rachel Laitala said. "Putting the ball on the ground is what we were trying to do both games, but it's really hard to do when the pitches are at the chest (and) just floating in and all of us think we can just jack it out of here." In the first game, Laitala put the Vikings on the board in the second inning with an RBI single to right center field. She scored one batter later when Western freshman second baseman Mandy Kaestner hit a looping drive to left field that glanced off the glove of NNU left fielder Jenny Matter and rolled into the corner for a triple. Western junior shortstop Dani Deyette extended the Vikings' lead to three with an RBI single in the fifth inning, and Diamond eliminated any hope of a Crusader comeback by striking out nine on her way to a two-hit shutout. "(Diamond) throws one of the fastest fastballs out of anyone," said Laitala, who caught Diamond's game. "She can tend to get a little out of control, so I just went right at it making them hit the ball." Diamond, whose record improved to 2- 2 with the victory, walked six batters and said she kept the ball out of the dirt so Laitala would have an opportunity to keep the base runners from advancing. Diamond also benefited from a bit of good fortune in the top of the fifth inning. In a bases-loaded jam with one out, NNU second baseman Tracy Mauze hit a ground ball to the right of second base that hit Crusader base runner, first baseman Kara Johnson. Johnson was called out on the play and Diamond struck out the next batter to end the Crusader threat. In the second game, Western was less productive offensively. After falling behind 1-0 in the first inning, the Vikings could not get on the board until the bottom of the fourth. In the fourth, with the bases loaded for the second time in the game, NNU pitcher Adrian Herman walked in a run, and Kaestner hit into a fielder's choice to score Western junior first baseman Hadley Jensen to give the Vikings a 2-1 advantage. In the sixth inning, Western freshman designated hitter Ashley Barber tacked on an insurance run when she stole third and scored on a throwing error. "That's really the way this team is designed," Western head coach Lonnie Hicks said. "We're built for speed and we've got to take advantage of those things, arid today we did, and ran them out of the game." Hicks said adjusting to the slower style of NNU's pitchers was difficult after facing hard-throwing pitchers on a recent trip to California. "The ball looked like a basketball coming up to the hitters, and they were just trying to kill it instead of working on just their hands and going with (the pitch)," Hicks said. After a rocky start, Mills kept the Crusaders at bay and improved her record to 4-3 behind a six-strikeout performance in which she surrendered just four hits and walked none. "(Mills) got touched for two base hits in the first inning, and then (NNU) couldn't do anything with her," Hicks said. "She mixed her speeds well and moved the ball around really really well so she kept it on balance all day." The loss dropped NNU's season record to 0-23 and 0-12 in the GNAC.

By Jordan Lindstrom THE WESTERN FRONT A cool, stiff breeze blowing against the sail, the steady lapping sounds of wind-blown water against the hull, the moist smell of lake water in the air and the shouts of "No, no, no, you're doing it all wrong." Western students taking sailing, kayaking and windsurfing classes can expect these things on Lake Whatcom this spring. The Western physical education department runs classes primarily out of the Lakewood facility on Lake Whatcom and gives students a chance to learn a sport or activity outside of the mainstream courses. "I signed up because it gives me an opportunity, to get outdoors, get on the water and learn how to sail," Western senior Wendy Miller said. The program's main goal is to teach students to be comfortable setting up their sailing, kayaking and windsurfing equipment so they can go on the water alone, program manager Jeff Davis said. "All beginning classes teach self-reliance and confidence on the water, with the bottom line being creating competency, which leads to fun," Davis said. The Lakewood classes offer students an opportunity to get out and learn something new, said sailing instructor and Western sophomore Lisa Hawkins. "We get them used to being on the water and teach them to be proficient with their equipment and (watercraft)," she said. In the sailing classes students are taught basic boating skills ranging from navigational and rigging techniques to the proper way to operate the head, the sailboat equivalent of a toilet.

"We only hire people of age, people who Head windsurfing instructor and Western senior Andy Nygress said he can attest to the thoroughness of the program. Nygress is a one-time windsurfing student who enjoyed his class so much that he took on the sport as a full- time hobby, and eventually became a certified instructor.

Fans' anticipation of another successful season could prove true with the entire starting lineup returning for this season. "We are a pretty consistent team this year," Western freshman pitcher Tom Henshaw said. "We have a lot of rookies, but we have a lot of talent." Western is 7-3 on the season. The club has accumulated astounding numbers in the past two seasons, with a combined record in 2001 and 2002 of 29-7 â€” only two of those losses came from last year. Western has a collective club batting average of .377 and a combined earned run average of 2.5. Two players, senior third baseman Mike Jesus and junior shortstop Todd Albright, finished with batting averages of .500 or better. In the past, Western has accepted players from Whatcom Community College. This will no longer happen because the club is switching to the more competitive National Club Baseball League. * "This will mean that we will be facing some of the same teams next year but in a more competitive league," Henshaw said. Western traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for a round robin t o u r n a m e n t spring 'We are a pretty consistent team this year. We have a lot of rookies, but we have a lot of talent! Tom Henshaw Western freshman pitcher during break. W e s t e r n ' s club dropped two games to teams considered to be the club's fiercest competition, first baseman and player-coach John Cvitanich said. Western fell to Weber State University by a score of 3-0 and dropped a 6-5 game to Utah State University. Cvitanich said he still has confidence in his team when competing against tougher schools. "We. hung with Utah and Weber the whole time," Cvitanich said. "We also had runners in scoring position to win both of those games, but we have beat them before, so that's promising." Western won games against Montana State (10-5) and Humbolt State (17-2). Western sophomore Daniel Vander Kooi carried the team by pitching a complete game for the win against Humboldt State. He struck out seven and allowed only two hits. Additional put-standing efforts from the club included Western junior player-coach shortstop Todd Albright, who went 6-9 in the tournament with a two-run double. Western freshman pitcher Tom Henshaw worked through five innings . to record a win against Montana State, striking out five. Henshaw also plays first base and is batting .375. "I had really good control and location of my pitches, and we all played well," he said. Last weekend's games with Seattle University and Evergreen Community College were cancelled because of rain.

The game was Georgetown University versus the University of North Carolina in the NCAA championship. The shot was a game winning 18-footer with 15 seconds remaining â€” a shot that would change one man's life and the game of basketball forever. So began the era of Michael Jordan. Jordan is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes the world has ever seen, and when he hangs up his shoes at the end of this season â€” for good this time-â€” the effect will reach far beyond the NBA. His jersey number, 23, whether in red or blue, is renowned. His name is the representation of grace, talent and showmanship. His departure will become one of the biggest losses the sport of basketball has ever experienced. Ironically, when Jordan tried out for the basketball team at bis local high school, the coach cut him, citing an awkward body and unrefined skills as reasons for his decision. Again, four years later, coaches and teammates attempted to talk Jordan out of signing with UNC, fearing he would not see any playing time. They had no idea of what he would become. When Jordan entered the NBA after his junior year at UNC, he was a phenomenon that basketball had never seen before. Jordan stepped onto a court and into a game dominated by more mature, experienced players. The year Jordan entered the NBA, 1984, again changed professional basketball forever. Jordan's lifetime basketball statistics speak for themselves. He has received more than 40 awards,in his 13 seasons in the NBA including MVP, Best Defensive Player and Rookie of the Year. Jordan entered the NBA when he.was only 22 years old and joined the Olympic team that, same year. At 40, he is still in command, finishing out his last season as a player, but adopting the position of owner and role model for his young Washington, D.C. Wizards, team. Rattling off statistics does not do a man like Michael Jordan justice. Jordan is the greatest competitor in the history of sports. As if conquering the basketball world was not enough, Jordan actively seeks fulfillment through other 'Jordan is the greatest sports. His passion competitor in the history of for golf is undeniable, , and although he did sports not make the greatest baseball player, his sheer athleticism was enough to land him a spot on the Chicago White Sox. gt; Jordan is possibly the only athlete in history to bridge the generation gap, bringing together the young and old in a celebration of adoration and respect for extreme talent. Ask any person, from age 6 to 66, and they will most likely be able to identify Michael Jordan. His name has become synonymous with the sport itself. The Kobe Bryants and Gary Paytons of the world will all make their mark on basketball but not in a way that will impact history. Jordan is a legend. No better word exists to describe the impact this player has had on fans, basketball and the world. Nearly everyone has owned a pair of "Air-Jordans" at some point or hung a poster with number 23 above his or her bed. The Jordan "Wings" poster best describes the rise and accomplishments of this man. Underneath his outstretched arms read the words, "No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings." In a gym somewhere in America, a kid is working on his jump shot wearing an oversized Jordan jersey, a college basketball player at UNC is watching game film and a father is teaching his daughter how to dribble. People everywhere, young and old, still want to be like Mike. buried treasure in your basement "^SSStiaMm- Do you ham old Savings Bonds?

Americans entitled to war coverage Jennifer Segadelli COMMENTARY When Pentagon officials decided to allow hundreds of American journalists to accompany the military units fighting in Iraq, the result could have been pandemonium of censorship and propaganda. It has not turned out that way. Journalists traveling as members of military units have produced raw stories, bringing the ghastliness and horror of war into America's living rooms. They should continue to bring this information to American households. Public opinion concern- l ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^p ing war with Iraq is decisively split, and the battle for information has become almost as competitive as the physical conflict. The public expects news from the battlefield as soon as an event happens. Two ways exist to get breaking news: support the journalists risking their lives to bring it to the public, or book a flight to Baghdad and get it directly from the source. Before the advent of embedded journalists, reporters who travel with the troops, the public knew little about war and its sacrifices. In a world where technology is advancing and power is paramount, understanding the war has never been more crucial. Americans are far better served by having the embedding system than they were from more limited press pools during the Gulf War of 1991, according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism. Journalists deliver images providing a more honest look at combat than any previous war. Consider also that these journalists are prepared to deliver quality news in the face of war. Before being sent to Iraq, journalists undergo intense physical and mental training to prepare for the field. The reporters in the trenches possess knowledge about chemical and biological weapons and combat first aid. The media have quickly adapted to new technology 'The only alternative to an embedded press is censored or non-existent news! and the military's new openness to interactive media. Embedding journalists provides a broader picture of the opposition. In no way can journalists provide the whole picture. The happenings of an entire country the size of California cannot be shown in a 30-minute broadcast. For the first time in history, however, journalists are capable of delivering riveting coverage of a specific combat unit. The only alternative to an embedded press is censored or non-existent news. Picture Sept. 11 without news coverage: the horror of families torn apart, lives being taken prematurely, death and despair would have been eliminated. But then so would have the heroism â€” the humility of Rudy Guiliani, the sacrifice of the first firemen on the scene, the ability of this country to rise to its feet once again. The bottom line is that few alternatives exist. America could not make due with overhead U.S. of Baghdad, and Secretary of Donald Rumsfeld behind his Reporters have no place with troops Torhil Dunham COMMENTARY maps Defense enormous lectern. The frenzy for information is so engrained in the American public that if people had to go one day without media â€” television, newspapers, magazines, movies, Internet â€” the population would probably lapse into catatonic schizophrenia. The beauty of media information is that the consumers do not have to go get it. Instead, they find journalists passionate about their profession and^ their responsibilities, willing to risk their lives to bring it to them. The reporters are no longer in their living rooms watching reality television like the rest of America; they are living and creating it. Americans live in a chaotic world that they struggle to understand, under a government they fail to participate in and engaged in a war many cannot comprehend. Journalists and the media strive to serve as a conduit between the comfort and peace of America's living rooms and the brutality and dehumanization of war, and in doing so, create an onslaught of images now available with the click of the remote control. A new era of war coverage is taking over television. The Pentagon implemented a plan to "embed" reporters in military units in Iraq. This may seem as if the government is providing full, complete access to the war, but the embedding program is flawed and should not be used. Journalists are automatically biased when they join a military unit. Troops develop strong bonds â€” undoubtedly, these journalists will also develop emotion- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |p al connections to Â«**^Â«^iS*Â«aÂ«*M troops. This connection will censor the journalists' reports: Therefore, the public is seeing an unbalanced view of the war that gives them an unrealistic idea about what is happening in Iraq. If the journalists do not censor themselves, the military will definitely step in. All embedded journalists must receive permission from their presiding commanding officer before filing a report. The military has a long-standing history of censorship, which results in war propaganda. The military has created posters, handouts and information to sway the public in every war, from the Civil War to Vietnam. The armed forces will not show coalition troops making' mistakes. When a journalist witnesses coalition troops doing something wrong, such as inadvertently killing an Iraqi child, it cannot report it to U.S. citizens. This sends a message that coalition troops are fighting a perfect war without civilian casualties â€” which is impossible. Embedded reporters see a very narrow picture of the war. They must stay in their specific battlefield locations and fail to see the war in a larger picture, a picture they might see if they were not strapped to an infantry division. The embedding program also places journalists and troops directly in harm's way. So far, 12 embedded journalists have been killed. These deaths prove t h a t the military has not provided journalists with enough training to operate in a safe reporting environment. Fox News fired reporter Geraldo Rivera when he put troops' lives in danger by drawing a map in the sand showing the location of his division that was aired throughout the world. Some people agree with the Pentagon's plan that the embedding program is the military's generous attempt to provide complete war access. Its actions, however, are not in line with this. When a photo , _, ... , slipped past the military ...The military has not pro- of a n u s soldier s u s. vided journalists with enough pected of killing a fellow training to operate in a safe c o m r a d e a n d injuring 15 6 . F . / â€¢ others, the U.S. reporting environment. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said the reporter who provided the photo was disloyal and ungrateful in the face of the troops' hospitality. The Pentagon is doing the American public a disservice. A journalist's job is to tell the story and present an unbiased account, not to feel responsible to a certain group of people. Though the military seems to be openly inviting journalists , making a seat for them in their tanks, aircraft and ships, the real issue comes from what the American public sees, and what they do not see. Embedded journalists may have all the access they want, but the flow of information is undoubtedly restricted, and coalition troops and journalists' lives are in danger. The public deserves to obtain all the information about the war. Journalists need to be operating independently; the military should provide the needed access but let the reporters do their job. The media should not allow such an anti-journalistic program to be in charge for war coverage. Help Save A Life Donate Plasma Today.

This formality was merely a publicity act to appease local environmentalists, and not an honest gesture to address a real international problem. Arbor Day is supposed to be a national observance that encourages tree planting, tree care and environmental concern. Planting two decorative trees is a meaningless act when Western is cutting down other trees in order to expand the campus and construct the new Student Recreation Center and Communications Building. While university growth is inevitable and by no means negative, planting two trees in an attempt to support tree growth is hypocritical. Arbor Day is a noble idea, but the blind observance of it simply because it is a nationally celebrated event is pointless and takes away from its real importance. Also, while the idea of planting trees is a positive action, Western should be more concerned with taking care of the existing trees on campus or with finding ways to minimize the destruction of other trees on campus. The trees that were planted in the bird sanctuary on Wednesday took the place of a red alderwood tree that had been dead for a number of years, Western gardner Jerome Wolfe said. It is not worth planting new trees in the sanctuary if previous tree was not properly cared for. President Morse said the planted trees would add to the beauty of campus, but the ugly mass of construction on south campus overshadows the token gesture of planting two spindly trees on north campus. Western is known for its natural beauty and historic campus atmosphere. Compromising these benefits for growth and environmental destruction reflects badly on Western. Not only do these actions defeat the image Western portrays, they leave students waiting for some point in the future when beauty will actually return to campus. The university should observe Arbor Day in ways that are much more meaningful and helpful, such as supporting the use of recycled paper, educating people about saving the forests and working with community groups to plant trees. Lastly, Western should support tree planting and tree care all year long, not just one day per year. America has become a nation that celebrates and supports causes and events at the whim of Hallmark executives. It is insulting to plant two trees one day per year and say that this action is observing and supporting Arbor Day.

Americans should sample all news Cailin Long COMMENTARY During times of war, U.S. citizens turn to television for answers. In order to obtain an educated opinion about Operation Iraqi Freedom, viewers need to take into consideration what each of the various networks have to say. For the most part, the media have remained objective thus far, offering headline stories on the hour for those who have increased their news-television viewing since the war coverage began. Yet one cannot help but notice the subtle differences among CNN, MSNBC, FOX News and BBC. These networks hold political opinions that may inappropriately sway citizens who will only hear one side of the story. For example, the more liberal interpretations CNN and MSNBC offer include reports on the congressional hearings that took place two weeks ago to divide control over the oil in Iraq among oil companies in the United States. On Wednesday, CNN's Web site reported that two senior congressional Democrats are calling for an investigation into whether the oil services company Vice President Dick Cheney once headed received special treatment in getting defense contracts. Media coverage of the United States' interest in oil should remind Americans that Iraq has something that the United States, desires. FOX News, a more conservative news network, reveals its approval for President Bush particularly through images. The home page of FOX's Web site shows three photos, including Iraqis beating a statue of Saddam Hussein with their shoes, the Hussein statue being toppled in the center of Baghdad and 20- year-old Bilal Ali kissing a picture of Bush while cheering "You are our father!" FOX News, unlike its competitors, is focused on reporting news that often places Bush in a more favorable light, or at least Bush's decisions to go forth with war until the battle is won and the Iraqi regime is demolished. Not to suggest that CNN and MSNBC have ignored the troops and failed to honor their hard work and sacrifices, but these networks' images do not show an overwhelming support of troop participation. All networks have done a remarkable job of offering thanks and sorrow to families who have lost loved ones. Yet scenes of the See MEDIA, Page 15 'Free thought'gives students self worth Carl Weiseth BLUNT VIEWS During the past couple months, I have been slowly growing more and more irritated by small-minded people who justify their actions with claims that they are "just doing their job," or "just following the rules." Such people seem to take pleasure in denying their own individuality, instead preferring to allow other peoples' ideas and decisions to consistently overrule their own. How can these social lemmings hold any belief in their own intelligence while simultaneously forfeiting their decisionmaking abilities to others? Rules can never be applied to every situation. Rather, it is up to us as free-thinking members of society to conclude the correct course of action under each differing set of circumstances. American poet, essayist and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson addresses this topic in an essay titled "Self-Reliance."

While FOX, in support of Bush and therefore in participation of the war, shows still-shots of American soldiers with guns raised and faced forward, â€” CNN and MSNBC are more likely to show images of Iraqi citizens, instead of soldiers in battle. These subtle differences may not be recognized by an uncritical eye, which is where the main problem lies. Those who watch a favored station because of their political stance are missing out on information that alternative stations provide. Americans seem to question every aspect of society except the media. They see news as fact when in actuality, all news is biased, whether it should be or not. No matter how objective journalists try to be, '... readers and viewers cannot accept news at face value..' they will unknowingly insert their opinions simply because their opinions exist. Therefore, readers and viewers cannot accept the news at face value and need to question it whenever necessary. It is. the responsibility of media to put forth images of war and to report on U.S. successes and failures, but media ultimately have the power to choose what they will report. What this means is that Americans, during this time of confusion and uncertainty, need to take on the responsibility of ensuring that they have the full story. Americans should form opinions on the war after a thorough examination of every vantage point. Unfortunately, one media outlet is not always going to offer every angle of this complex story. â€¢strength â€¢balance -flexibility â‚¬â‚¬ Qet Jit The Body's Way Try it. Y M C A . 1 2 5 6 . N .

It is obvi-ous that unless some unannounced round of wheelchair Olympics is about to take place in Red Square, I am not going to be hindering anyone with an actual disability from parking in one of the many remaining open spaces. Unfortunately, many parking and law enforcement officials don't think with their brains â€” they think with their rule books. Every situation is different, and because of this, no one should ever apply a single set of laws to every set of circumstances. We need to cultivate common sense rather than depend on a comfort blanket of legal regulations incapable of differentiating between motivation or situation and unable to exercise mercy. "I was just following the rules" is not an acceptable justification for acting or living a certain way. Instead, we must consult our own intuition for 'We need to cultivate common sense rather than depend on a blanket of legal regulations ... information on how we lead life and handle each specific situation as i t arises. The most horrific wrongdoings ever enacted against ^_ humanity have all been carried out beneath the protective custody of socially created laws. Whether it was slavery, the H o l o c a u s t , witch-burning or the current destruction of the environment, the law has always been as great a protector of injustice as it has been of human safety and freedom. Clearly, we need a higher standard on which to rely, and it is my suggestion that we allow ourselves to be led by the purity of our intuition, rather than by social.conventions and legal regulations that punish those who choose to follow life's less traveled paths. During the course of each and every day, I urge you examine the structures that support your strongest beliefs. Question whether they reflect a logical conclusion reasoned from the integrity of your own mind or another piece of socially inherited baggage enacted to serve the interests of its creators. Many a great mind has been corrupted through the use of the majority's views, rather than the construction of their own. Whether it concerns our social, religious or moral convictions, only honest introspection can clear our vision of the cobwebs of social conformity and allow us an unobstructed view of our own true beliefs. fMK'M.teuiita! |(2)-Foot Long Subs! 738-3311 in Sehome Village Mon-Sat 10am-8pni; Sun 11am-7pm PkisTax Purchase any (2 gt;Foot long Subs (11-13) for only ttWp/w tor.'

A "stumped" Andy Phillips has discovered a new method of physical andmental escape as he perches solidly on one of the newly created stumps between the library and theHumanities building. Phillips told the Collegian that it's better than studying in the dorms, even if the -sightseeing bystanders do interrupt once in a while. Nominating convention swings mud, slogansthrown freely By MARY MAGNUSON Collegian Staff Reporter Armed with placards, slo-jans and a fewfistsful of iud, t h e 500 delegates to the o m i n a t i n g convention nois-ly assembled April 14 in t heriking Union lounge. Despite the admonition by the :eynote speaker that "you're here a nominatecandidates, not have tin," the delegates managed to eap themselves amused during the jng evening.tULES VIOLATED Soon after the convention rules 'ere accepted by the delegates, it as pointed! out thatone of the â€¢ules was being violated: election rosters were taped to the windows. Tony Tinsley,chairman of the onvention, replied that the rule anned signs only on walls, not on windows. A delegatedefiantly pulled ;he curtains, concealing the posters. This unauthorized action prompted motion by Vice-president Brent layrynen. "Since one of the mam reasons we chose to hold the convention in this roomwas so we could look out on the beautiful lights Of Bellingham, I move that the curtains be reopened,"he said. /.Ralph Monroe's suggestion that "Anyone who wants to see the lights can go stand on thebalcony," was ignored and the curtains remained open for the rest of the meeting. After a briefscrimmage between tinsley and Clark Drummond, nominations finally got under way. STARTED WITH VEEPS Two nominations for vice-president were made. Dan Barkley gave a nominating speech forBill Hersch. lip and Linden Smithson made a nominating speech for Dick Norris. The speeches werefollowed by enthusiastic demonstrations of support. Tinsley attempted to make himself heard abovethe can-beating and miscellaneous music to order that only signs of the candidates nominated could becarried. After a short recess ("for personal reasons") the convention moved on to presidentialnominations. Sarge, Western's guardian quadruped, was one of the nominees. His proxy gave hisdeclining speech using the opportunity to criticize some of the political tactics that were beingemployed. Other nominees were Byron Mauck, Roger Sandberg, and Tom Anderson. Anderson declined the nomination in -favor of Sandberg, who promises a true "open-door" policy if he is elected. "My firstact of duty as president will be to go up with a screwdriver and take the door to the A. S. President'soffice off its hinges. Tiiat office belongs to the whole student body," he said. Asked to comment on theconvention, Byron Mauck, who helped to write the present constitution, replied, "I'm excited, to saythe least. And hopeful." Mauck's nomination was followed by a bried demonstration of delegatesdeclaring "We want By! We want By!" When Sandberg's nominating speech was completed, delegateswho had sat apathetically through- See 'VOTE' page 10 Registration cost hits top dollar By BRUCEDELBRIDGE Collegian Managing Editor W e s t e r n students will be paying $3 more a q u a r t er nextyear at r e g i s t r a t i o n despite t h e efforts of t h e college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . President HarveyC. Bunke announced in a press conference Monday that officials at Western were forced by the s t a t e l e g i s l a t u r e to raise both tuition and d o r m i t o r y costs. The president described the officialsfrom Olympia as beligerent and very militant in their demands. "I personally, Joe Nusbaum thebusiness manager, and the board of trustees were all against the raise. But these guys came downhere and said 'if you don't raise the tuition, then you aren't going to. get any more money from usf.**"MAXIMUM TUITION Last year a bitterly contested bill was passed that raised maximum tu-iition cost to$264 per year. The act allowed individual school boards to determine what their tuition would be. Afterthe enactment of the law, Tuition hike raises brows Although Western may not become a Universitynext year, it will be gaining one of the 'status symbols' of a university. . . a higher cost for tuition.Beginning next fall quarter, the tuition will be raised $9 a year. Student reactions to this turn of eventsare varied. One junior says she hates the idea of paying more tuition when Western is still a statecollege and not a university. A graduating senior showed his unconcern when he said, "I won't be here to worry about it, so it's not that big," but he also admitted that he would probably feel differently if hewere going to be here next year. "Big deal! $3 a quarter" was the opinion of another student. "If theschool really needs it, it's okay with me," he continued. One freshman pointed out that it is a 'necessary evil' because, as the student body becomes larger, it will inevitably cost more to run the campuseffectively. Another student said that although $3 a quarter is not really very much, she can recallanother previous quarter when the tuition was being raised 'not very much.' "It's this little 'not verymuch' that adds up to a lot," commented a bystander. No matter what the general opinion may be,next fall quarter, students will have to make out their tuition checks for 'just' three more dollars. EasternWashington State College and Central Washington State College both voted to raise their fees to thelimit. Bunke had convinced them to wait until fall 1966 to put it into effect. His intent was to trymaintaining the cost level ^ s low as possible,and see if Western could possibly avoid the raise. Therepresentatives from Olympia made it clear that there was no way of preserving the status quo.VIETNAM A FACTOR He explained that the conflict in Vietnam is causing the government to divert more money away from the schools and into the war. Recognizing the great need for expansion atWestern, he tried to ilustrate that the only way we will be able build new dorms and other facilities wiUbe for students to pay more. "The reasoning used by the Olympians," according to Bunke, "is that ifthe college isn't willing to pay more money, then they obviously don't want to expand. When weindicate Western needs funds the answers will be 'You don't have money because you didn't raisefees.' " The increase will only provide $45,000 a year more, and Bunke claims we need, using his word"millions." BUNKE BLAMES 'FEDS' A $15 a year hike in dorm rates will also be effective next fall.Bunke places the blame for the new expense on the federal government. Previously the nationalauthorities had provided funds at 3 per cent interest for building dorms. But the demand for the moneywas so great that there were not enough bonds available to fulfill the need. The burden of the expensewas placed oil the private loaning agencies which charge higher interest rates. STUDENTS PAY FORDORMS The state government does not furnish money for the building of new dormitories. "If the campus is; to grow in correspondence with the enrollment, then we must comply with the national policy thatstudents must now pay for dorms themselves," Bunke added. The President has indicated that thereis nothing he can do to pressure for a change in this situation. "My hands are tied, but . . . there'snothing to stop students from exerting pressure.'" ---------- Collegian - 1966 April 22 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1986 Fairhaven needs May Final approval of theFairhaven project will be discussed at the May meeting of the Board of Trustees according to Dr. PaulWoodring, Chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee. The idea behind Fairhaven, a liberal arts college, is a fairly new one, he commented. The University "of California at Santa Cruz is organizingon this basis. It will be made up of several small units, each with about 600 students. Wood-ring saysthat this number has been found to be the ideal unit for maximum teaching effectiveness. The Fairhavenstudents will register for that college, although they will still be members of the Western student body. The faculty for the college will be drawn from Western's present staff and Fairhaven students will usethe existing facilities to get their majors and minors. Woodring commented that he feels Within tenyears all major universities and colleges will be organized on this basis and hopes that Fairhavenwill be only the first olf many such units to appear at Western.

Jeopardy creations obsessed with sex according toreaders By LEZA MADSEN Collegian Staff Reporter "There's a lot of sex in it . . ." seems to be t h eone thing that students expressed in common when asked their opinion on Jeopardy. One senior, ajieducation major, said she felt that "whoever chose the selections for the magazine must have beenobsessed with sex" because from what she had read most of the stories dealt with sex in one way oranother, mostly in a derogatory man- 1 IMPORT MOTORS M.

She thought "C D Cups"was "sick." Other students expressed similar reactions. "Do they think that's all we're interested in,because if they do they're wrong. It seems as though many of the stories and poems were nothing morethan sex for the sake of sensationalism." One student teacher remarked, "I don't know much about style so I can't comment on that but as far as content goes I've seen more imaginative material incompositions written by my high school seniors." FOR PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALS One industrial arts,major said he believed that the works showed little appeal to the average student. He felt that, "Theymust have been written for other pseudo-intellectuals." Another comment which was expressedmore than once was that much of the material seemed to have been written in an attempt to shock, inreference to the swearing, slang, and sexual overtones, but that because so much of the imagery wastrite or hackneyed it failed even in this attempt. There were favorable comments as well, although theywere not numerous as the unfavorable on An English major said she was fc cinated by Hughe's "It MayNot Love, But She'ls My Baby," althou she wasn't sure what it was abo "It May Not Be Love . . ." seemto be the most thought-provoking the works. Almost everyone h something to say about it, rangi from"fascinating"to "sick." "I liked 'Garbage In Elev Parts,' " said one girl, "because was so typical of modernlife, reflective." "Woman In a Nursing Home" w another favorite. Many students SJ Kennard's use ofimagry was good in the poem and the theme w interesting.

Riddell had allegedly received $75 for helping to get a booking for the SanFrancisco Mime Troupe. "I have heard a lot of rumors about Riddell but anybody who has something tosay about Riddell better bring it to this board in black and white," he said. Larry Elfendahl claimed thatRiddell had used the name of his office to get money which otherwise he would not have gotten. "He is a public servant, I'm a public servant, and we get paid for it. We shouldn't be allowed to take money forourselves on student body time," Elfendahl said. Dr. August C. Radke, the adviser to the board,stated strongly, "I will go to the mat with anybody. over anything Mr. Riddel has done. He is completelyabove board on this matter or on any other." Reading a letter from the Mime Troupe, Richardson seemed to clear up much of the problem. The letter said, "We have heard you are having some problem over Mr. Riddell. We earned our money in the show and any money earned by Riddell was earned legally by him to help us get bookings." The board apparently expressed the feeling that Riddell had been cleared of all incriminations, but they felt that there should be a standard policy to act as a guideline in the future.The matter was sent to a committee. part II of our heretical heritage concerning the prophetic â€¢ â€¢challenge of religious liberalism wwsc students discussion group will meet at the minister's home 819High Street, Apt. 212 at 7:30 Sunday evening.

In the first of the lecture series, "Backwoods of the World," a film entitled "Dead Birds," produced by Robert Gardner, was shown to an audience of over 100 people. The film was t hefirst attempt in a series by the Spcioloy-Anthropology Department to study primitive cultures in theirnatural habitat. ''Dead, Birds," outlined the lives of ;the Baliens, men who are still leading the same typeof Uvea their ancestors led hundreds of years ago. SUPERSTITOUS PEOPLE Farming, war, funerals,and feasts are the mainstays of the Baliens' existence. The culture is haunted by ghosts arid evil spirtswhich regulate every aspect of the constituents' lives. Wars, even though they are often fought to thedeath, are mostly a means of recreation. Handed down customs and evil spirits control the battle rules,to a point where after one man is killed the warring ceases for'the day. The Balien tribes can only fightat certain times of the day and are required to take rest periods during many parts of the battle. Thebattles are carried on due to a tradition similar to that of the legendary "Martin and McCoy" feud. Onetribe wars on another to avenge the death of one of its tribesmen killed in a previous battle, to maintain a "balance of death." â€¢The women do most of the farming for the Balien society. The heavy work,such as breaking soil, is done by men, but women do all the rest. Irrigation is used. extensively thoughfarming is generally done by extremely crude methods. Making weapons for war, and spending hoursmaking ornaments for those who may die in battle, is the way the men spend most of their time- Theyalso relieve each other asi watchmen, guarding their village from enemy tribes. The funerals of the.Baliens consist mostly of warding off evil spirits, and grieving over the."loved one." Rituals for the deadare extremely complex, because death is an ever present fear in the society. Feasts are held when onetribe succeeds in killing an enemy tribesman. This is one of the society's most celebrated events. Tomaintain security, the winning tribe is awarded a day, free of battle threat, in which to celebrate. BYLISTENS TO PEOPLE! BY MAUCK FOR A.S.

But as time elapses andperspectives change, old animosities disappear and two people who were once opponents in thepolitical arena find that they in fact do agree on many issues. Such an issue is the Student BodyPresidency of WWSC. In the present campaign raging for this office we feel that there is a cleardistinction between the candidates, a distinction which is apparent enough to us to warrantexpressing our confidence in one candidate. Though both individuals are recommendingsignificant changes in Student Government structure and activities, it is necessary that ability andexperience form the framework upon which these changes can be made. Without such a frameworkthese promises become mere campaign oratory and of a destructive rather than constructive nature for the students.

Student Officers shouldn't get extras Editor, The Collegian: At last Monday's Legislaturemeeting, a problem arose concerning Ken Riddell's $75 broker fee for booking the "Jim Crow a Go-Go" at the University of Washington. The problem created is whether an officer or legislative representative should take "advantage" of his office to make an extra booking for a group and, if it is, is it proper toreceive a fee for said booking? When any person is elected to office, he is a public servant. Alegislator's and an officer's job is to serve YOU the students. His job is not to serve himself. Acting ascivil servants we are paid to do our jobs. I received a Blue Blazer. An officer receives about $225 perquarter. Another form of payment could be classified as an "advantage of the office." There is, obviously,a benefit of having student government experience on your record when applying for a job. This is anindirect benefit. There is, also, a direct benefit. This corresponds to Mr. Riddell's case. If this personhad not been an officer, Jhe would hot of had- the chance to make his booking at the U. of W. It is notcorrect for a person to be payed in any form whatever for a duty which he daily performs as a civilservice to the students. He should try to help a group by making bookings within the PacificNorthwest Intercollegiate area. Thisi will lower the cost of the group to WWSC students. When I waselected, I came to serve you the students. I knew that I would have to make sacrifices oftenunrecognized. I knew what my rewards would be. I question whether or not the AS Legislaturemembers know what their rewards should,be. LARRY EFFENDAHL Prof knocks new morality Editor,The Collegian: Harry Barman's philosophy of sex as expounded in his letter printed in your issue of April15 suggests a heavy indebtedness to the egregious Mr. Hefner of "Playboy Magazine" and throwsprecious little light on the seduction of Gretchen by Faust in Goethe'a tragedy. Of course, Gretchen ismore sinned against than sinning because her love for Faust includes a great concern for Faust'swelfare, spiritual and otherwise. It is Faust who is the sinner, egged on by that cynical devil Mephis-tophelea, whose advocate Mr. Barman seems to be; it is Faust who, prompted by sexual passion,which overcomes his tenderness for the girl as a human being, uses her as a means to his sensual end, brings about in the process the deaths of Gretchen's mother and her brother Valentine, the pregnancy of the girl, her ensuing emotional distress and killing of her baby, and at the end the beheading of theunwedded mother. To put it mildly, Goethe's play does not suggest that "premarital intercourse" isadvisable for young, innocent girls like Gretchen. Rather Roger Sandberg WILL WORK FOR YOU ASA.S. PRESIDENT (Paid Political Adv.) Faust appears as a lust-ridden and guilt-ridden sinner whose only chance of salvation is true and deep repentance for an act which Dante represents as punished near the bottom of hellâ€”the eighth circleâ€”along with other kinds of injury through fraud. I suspect that Mr.Barman along with many of his fellow-students is the victim of half-baked ideas about "the new sexualmorality," which I would characterize as creeping permissive hedonism or "each mail for himself andthe Devil take the hindmost."

"It's important to know the girls by name, toget acquainted with them personally," said Mrs. Elkins, who serves as resident director at Higginsonwith her husband Aubrey. Now in their second year at Higginson, Mr. and Mrs. Elkins established thefirst off-campus boarding house in 1948, and have been houseparents to hundreds of Western studentssince. ONLY TWO DORMS ; "The house,was at 515 Chestnut, and we had only a few student,"Mr. Elkins recalled. "Western's enrollment was about 900 and there were only two dormitories oncampus." The Elkins operated the boarding house for a few years, also renting apartments andhouses on Maple, Indian and Garden Streets. Mr. Elkins worked in real estate (Ellis-Massey) at varioustimes during these years, but when they bought a house at 1030 N. Garden Street, he devoted full timeto his position as house-parent. Elkins' Hall, as the home was called, became the largest off-campushouse, with a capacity of 38 girls. Mrs. Elkins baked every- MR. AND MRS.

"My husband took care of the dining room, bought the groceries and manned the dishwasher, she said. They operated Elkins' Hall for 5 years. LESS ALCOHOL THEN Comparing the situation at Elkins Hall with that at Higginson,Mrs. Elkins said, "There was less of a drinking problem at Elkins and not quite the noise, so it waseasier to take care of in that respect.

"You musthave a give and take attitude toward . the students," Mr. and Mrs. Elkins said, and pranks andproblems of vari-ious sorts haven't dampened their enthusiasm for their work. "If you can see the funnyside of situations, you can enjoy them," said Mrs. Elkins. To illustrate, Mr. Elkins recalled someincidents he has dealt with during his stay at Higginson. DRUNK, WET, DEJECTED "One fellow climbed on a car in the parking lot, and tried to climb onto the first balcony. The girls heard him and one of them doused' him with a watebasket of water. He was drunk, wet and very dejected-looking, so I went out totalk to him. He wandered EXPERIENCE COUNTS VOTE MAUCK aid HERSCHLIP (Paid PoliticalAdv.) What's red and black and swings ?

As closing time approaches at Higginson (midnight Monday- Thursday and Sunday; 2 am Friday and Saturday), Mr. Elkins sometimes plays the role of referee when the necking gets too passionate."Some girls don't like to come into the court area when heavy necking is going on," Mrs. Elkinsexplained. This particular problem was in-tensifed some time ago when two of the light bulbs in thecorner of the court burned out. "Everybody was crowding into the dark corner," Mr. Elkins laughed. "Ihad to go in and pull them apartâ€” I was afraid they'd smother." Both Mr. and Mrs. Elkins said theyhave had no trouble during their stint as resident directors at Higginson. "We've had the fullestcooperation from the girls and enjoy it here." said Mrs. Elkins. "We wouldn't he here if we didn't like towork with students." They make the rules as easy to work with as possible, and em- Roger Sandberg WILL WORK FOR YOU AS A.S. PRESIDENT (Paid Political Adv.) phasize a close relationship withthe girls in their care. "They have such a humane understanding of the girls' problems," commented cneHigginson resident.' Looking back over their 'career' as houseparents, Mr. and Mrs. Elkins said today'sfemale student -~ is better than that of 1948, when they opened their first boarding house. "At first thegirls often didn't come to college with the intention of finishing, said Mrs. Elkins. "Now they have adefinite goal in mind, and are more serious about education." Serenading: at girls' windows has goneout of style, and the Elkins view the passing of this practice with regret. "It's been 8 or 9 years since weheard serenading," Mrs. Elkins said. "It used to be very popular and the girls loved it." "To serenade agirl now,' added Mr. Elkins, "you need a ipermiit, but serenading is. something spontaneous." TheElkins are enjoying their work so much that they intend to keep at it. "We'll probably spend the rest ofour working time on campus," they said.

Students often wonder who produces the excellent selections in the finearts series: the lectures, movies, musical productions and art shows. Feringer claims that there is a group of many people who select the presentations, but we feel that much of the success of the series is dueto his hustle and bustle; A former engineer, his brusque forceful personality reminds one of AlbertEinstein with a hard hat. He became interested in culture for everyone when he began to realize in privatebusiness that even professional men had very little scope. Men who had college educations displayedlittle knowledge of the world about them. It became obvious to him that he was more interested ineducation for such people than he was in his work. He began attending community education meetings and soon quit his job to get a degree in education. Feringer began his story at Western in 1962 aftercompleting a doctorate at the University of California at Los Angeles. But his Story has been going strong for a long time as a result of his interesting adventures. HONEYMOON ON BICYCLE Daisy never had it so good. Feringer's wife had the pleasure of bicycling 3,000 miles through Europe on her honeymoon.We don't know how she liked it, but he claims that he wouldn't have traveled any other way. "You seethings going at eight miles an hour that you don't see going at fifty," he added. Feringer has done a lot ofmountain climbing in European mountains and used to run a ski lodge in the Alps. He also is well knownfor his swimming feats. One rumor has circulated through Western's faculty about the time he swam amile out to Chuckanut sland on a bet. * RAMBLING LIFE The dynamic administrator has had a ramblinglife with varied experiences. He feels that his diversified talents have helped him in directing the programshere at Western. Completely renovating the concert lecture series, he has channeled the purpose of thetalks so that well-known thinkers and philosophers re required to stay on campus for at least two or threedays. Feringer explains this by saying, "When we bring people who are considered great in their ownright to campus, the students get a chance to learn personally why they are great. In the recentsemantics lectures, the speakers were cornered right after their talks and weren't ble to leave until late atnight." ARTISTS NOT ACCEPTED "I realize that many of the things which, are brought to campus arenot accepted, but that is a danger you run with creative people," te explains. "These artists are the greatevaluators of our society ind they are constantly under criticism. Only the most intelligent and trongwilled can survive," he emphasized. Feringer used the recent appearance of Rosenstock-Huessy as inexample. His speech was criticized as unorganized and uninteli- [ent by many of the listeners. YetHuessy has written 16 books and s a professor in Emeritus at Harvard. "The fine arts must be timely andthey must mean something o the students at the present time. I could arrange a lecture on some bstractconcept in order to spout facts, but it wouldn't mean any-hing to students," commented Feringer. Wienerpictures art augmentation â€¢ Patience, art students. By fall 967 Western's Art Department will e halfagain as large as it is now nd will offer a masters degree, ac-ording to Dr. Homer A. Weiner, hairman ofthe department. "We are making plans for a 1200 quare foot addition, subject to the pproval of theGraduate Council," Veiner said. "We are crowded now." The new building, which may be finished beforenext spring, will have facilities for print-making, ceramics, and sculpture. It will make it possible forWestern to offer a Master of Arts degree in painting, sculpture, ceramics, and crafts. In this manner, heexplained, Western's art department would establish a reputation for turning out good people, andexpand from this basis.

Meet Candidates Byron Mauck In the following paragraphs you will see and hopefully understand the reasons for my seeking the officeof AS president. But before I run off a list of "what fors," I'd like to emphasize that nobody will ever beable to accomplish everything that:he hopes to. Rather, he can only set a mood for an orderly process ofchange and expansion. I feel that, at least in this election, I can offer you a well thought-out plan whichwill enable us to accomplish many more of our objectives than if I had not had the advantage of threeyears in student government. Promises are all well and good but let's realize that they aren't very much at all if you don't know how to bring them about. I think I do. I, at least, have had the experience of a lotof successes and failures to indicate I know what I'm talking about. There are six broad areas I willconcentrate my efforts in if elected: Student activities, community involvement, academics, longrange planning, dormitories, and, of course, student government. Under student activities, we wouldinclude with present programming, Lakewood trips for incoming students to combine fun with a personalintroduction to student activities. A" jazz festival with big name talent and local competitions.Community involvement would include such things as ah even broader Lummi program and a bigbrother program for Bell-ingham boys and girls who have had a tough break with their families. There aremany worthwhile projects in the academic areas also, but I would place priority on elimination of staffreferences in our course listings, and even more important, a published course critique whichevaluates courses and professors as well as publishing the requirements and objectives of a class. - The dorms should be strengthened through the Interrdorm Council. The Inter-dorm Council in turn should bestrengthened through the Associated Students. Under our new constitution, the Dorm Council can workthrough many hew areas of the Associated Students. 1 will ask that the Dorm Council put arepresentative on the president's cabinet. From that base, we can truly begin to strengthen the Inter-dorm Council. In student, government, under our new constitution, we now have an opportunity tointegrate many new students into stu* dent government participation. This can be achieved by asystematic evaluation of present programs and contemplated additions combined with state andcampus leadership training programs. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the student bodypresidency is the most give and take position in student government. He is not just the creator ororiginator of programs for the student body (in fact, the original ideas most often come, from thestudents);. Rather^ he is the organizer of many, many, diversified fields, the official representative toother external groups for the student body and an individual who can compromise as often as hedemands. It is truly a pragmatic job which I think I understand.â€”Byron A. Mauck. Roger SandbergStudent government here at Western has, for too long, been restricted to a few people. What moststudents don't realize is that student government is no small part of campus life. It is a $100,000venture. To change this restrictive trend in student government, new leadership is essential. Leadershipthat will not take an impersonal look toward the needs of the students and then, having beenoverwhelmed by its own self importance, run around blindly patting everyone on the back. We needleadership that shares the views and beliefs of the students and works to solve their problems, and whoworks for their benefit. New leadership means a fresh outlook for student government with new ideas and new approaches. Among these ideas I have, in mind are: â€”A system through which students can sell their books directly to other students, to eliminate the middle man, thus cutting book costs. This couldbe done through the academic departments or through a special setup in the VU at the start of eachquarter. â€”A college annual worthy of the size and stature of Western Washington State College. TheKlipsun budget has been ignored too long. â€”Free intra-campus mail service whereby you, thestudent, can mail any number of letters to approved campus housing. This would also aid clubs andorganizations, pro*- vide employment for students, and improve communication on this campus.â€”Closer cooperation with the Inter-dorm Council so they can complete projects they are working on, forexample telephones in each dorm room, more parking lot dances, and things of this nature. Also morecompetition between dorms, from academic excellence to yelling at athletic events.â€”Programming in the interest of all academic areas, with less emphasis on the politically orientedspeakers. Also more big name entertainment, so that any profits that might be incurred could be used tolower admission costs for subsequent entertainment. These are a few of the ideas I have in mind fornext year. New ideas from new leadership. Beyond this, however, I think it is time that Western had anASB president who would attend dorm meetings and club gatherings, not to give a speech' but to listen to what you have in mind, one . who doesn't believe in petty politics or a government based onpersonalities, and one who would put his moral beliefs ahead of his personal wants. I have been active in student government, having served on the Political Union, having worked on special committees, andhaving headed Western's two blood drives for Americans in Vietnam. But experience isn't the onlyprerequisite^ as we all know. It takes a little something extra, like a new positive insight into studentgovernment, which will bring tangible benefits to everyone on this campus. An insight unmuddled bypreconceived ideas about student government. With your vote we can get student governmentmoving again. With your vote we will build student government into an effective force. This is mypurpose and the purpose of the "Rog Rebellion." Join us for better student government.â€”RogerSandberg. ---------- Collegian - 1966 April 22 - Page 9 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1966 THE COLLEGIAN PAGE MSB a long night Convention timeâ€”1966. TheViking Union lounge becomes an arena for the politicians and their loyal' supporters. Clusters of signsrise from the mass of delegates and everyone waits nervously for the words, "I nominate . . ." There are the cautious glances, the speeches, both temperate and passioned, the shouts and the clang of thedemonstrations, and, of course, the curious but not so involved bystanders. The night is long on wordsand sometimes short on tempers and is but a short preview of the drudgery and tedious activity of theweek of campaigning soon to come. The whole works will be over in a few short days but this is a nightthat will not soon be forgotten.

I have been a student on this campus for three years and for the first time I saw excitment andsincere interest for the welfare of the WHOLE student Body; not just for small and sometimes elitecliques. I saw well over a hundred students, sincerely, earnestly, unwaveringly showing atremendous; enthusiasm for what they call the "Rog Rebellion." I believe that this movement is thestart of a new positive feeling towards student government. ; This movement is not against studentgovernment; it is for student government. I sincerely believe that enthusiasm is backed by the studentsand not backed by the various king pins found in student government. Respectfully, RUSSELL C.

Symphonic musicfills Viking ears The muoed music of violins and cellos filled the air as the Belling-ham Chamber MusicSociety performed Sunday evening in the Viking Union lounge. The amateur musicians presented aconcerto, "Opus 17, No. 5" by Jean-Jacques Naudot; "Under The Greenwood Tree" by Thomas Arne,and a quintet, "Opus 18" by Mendelssohn. The Vocollegians, a choral group, sang a Latin Motet, byOrlando di Lasso; an English madrigal by John Bennet; and three French chansons by Passereau, LeJeune, and Certon. The Society, an offshoot of the Women's Music Club, was the idea of Mrs. PaulineDalquest, a local citizen. She played in a local string quartet which became the core of the ChamberMusic Society. The Society is not associated with Western's Music department, though many of itsmembers are on the faculty, and it is open to anyone interested in playing. The emphasis is onensembles rather than individual performances. The next performance of the- Society will be on May 15. VOTE' (Continued from page 1) out the speech suddenly revived. Waving placards and urgingeveryone to "Join the Rog Rebellion!", the 130 students eagerly paraded around the room well beyondthe seven-minute limit. Friday the delegates gathered to cast their ballots. Dick Norris declined hisnomination as vice-president. He urged that they avoid the running-mate system which sometimesprevents the selection of the most capable vice-president. Ralph Monroe moved that vice-presidentnominations be re-opened, urging that the five-year tradition of having the vice-president run unopposed be broken. Eric Warn was nominated and is running opposite Herschlip.

Soph animal lover seeks NA1A record ByTERRY HURLEY Collegian Sports Reporter The Viking t r a c k t e am has h a d its ups and downs thisseason, but for sophomore Dave Vander Griend it's been only ups. This season "Vandy," as he isnicknamed, has won the javelin event consistently. When he placed second against an Eastern hurler, he set a school record with a toss of 219 feet 9 inches. "I was happy with my performance that day inCheney but I know I can do better," commented Vander Griend. Vander Griend started his javelinthrowing career during his senior year at Lynden High School. "I turned out for track because a friend ofmine asked me to," recollected Dave. He did quite well that year as he missed going to the state trackmeet by 11 inches. His best throw was 167 feet. COUGAR TRANSFER Last year, Dave attendedWashington State University, where he lettered on the freshman track team. His best toss with thePullman crew was 183 feet. "I disliked the climate and social life at WSU, so I decided to come toWestern. Here it's the same environment I was raised in," said Vander Griend. During the summerVander Griend worked out, preparing for the coming season. He lifted weights three times a week andalso threw the javelin three times a week. It was last summer that he bettered the two hundred foot markfor the first time. FROM THE LEFT The 6'5" spear chucker is one of the few southpaws in the eventtoday. Vander Griend has competed against only two other lefties and both of them have beaten him."MyS height is one thing that has always helped me because I can get more leverage into my throw," said Vander Griend. One "of the main tools of his trade is a four foot metal pipe. He uses it far. practicebefore each meet. "Thetpipe helps me loosen up and because it weighs more than a javelin, it helps meget my whole body into the throw," said "Vandy." HOPES FOR RECORD Few: Western cindermen havegone to the NAIA championship track meet but everyone believes that Vander Griend will be there thisyear. He is-jpnly nineteen feet short of the NAIA record and most people feel that he will break it. "Withgood luck I hope to break the record before I graduate," said Vander Griend. Vander Griend's stiff estcompetition this year is the defending Evergreen; Conference champion from Central. If he can get by theWildcat ace, he may be on his way to the league championship. WILD ANIMAL LOVER Most spearthrowers kill wild animals but to Dave Vander Griend this would-be a sin. An eccentric lover of wildanimals, the Lynden lad has domesticated a crow, a pheasant, a racoon, and a skunk. Right? now, he is planning to have yet bigger game. "Since I saw a tame cheetah on television I've been saving my moneyto buy one," said Vander Griend. The only question is where will he be, if he gets the 'Cat' tomorrow.AND DOWNS THE SLIM STEEL STAFT that Vander Griend launches toward the 200 foot mark poseshere after a shorter toss. A light alumimun alloy enables present day spearwielders to better theirmarks. Vander Griend hopes that with breaks and hard work he will be able to break a mark set byJohn Frpmm { of Pacific Lutheran University. The Lute hurled his spear 238 feet several years ago.Typewriter and Adding Machine Sales, Service and R e n t a ls We carry all makes of portables andused machines.

"The Friends of Vendors' Rowhave gotten together an initiative that will be on the ballot come spring," Dorn said. A petition to re-evaluate the Viking Union renovation received enough signatures to continue in the initiative process. The initiative will now go to the Residence Hall Association, and-then to the AS Board to become areferendum for the spring ballot. Dorn invited O'Day to show his support for the petition by signing acopy on the air. "Unfortunately, I can't sign the petition," O'Day said. He said he supported theinitiative process, but he could not sign this particular initiative because "the information it statesprevents us from creating an indoor facility that I believe serves the best interest of the students."Dorn said O'Day's standing is contrary to the opinions students have voiced thus far. "(O'Day) keepstalking about the current needs of the students. My question is 'How the heck does he know?'" Dornasked. O'Day said that he is open to student input and has received more than 50 e-mails about theVendors' Row issue already. Later in the show, O'Day admitted the e-mails were opposed to the idea ofa "mall." "I find it really interesting that (O'Day) is for this galleria ... when students haveoverwhelmingly mentioned that that's not what they want," Dorn said. "Obvious by the 1,000signatures on the initiative; obvious by the 2,800 signatures we have received on the petition. To me itlooks like he's going against student voices." A caller said if O'Day has experienced studentopposition to the movement of Vendors' Row, he should go in the direction of the students. During thediscussion it was mentioned that 1,700 students voted in the election in which O'Day was electedpresident, compared to the 2,800 students who signed the petition on Vendors'Row. O'Day was asked if he would support the initiative if students voted in favor of it; O'Day indirectly responded by saying that he will be graduating in June, a month-and-a-half after the vote takes place. Another Western studentcalled and said she was disturbed that her mortey is being spent without her input regarding how itshould be spent. "That's my basic overall concern is that the students have never been asked," Dornsaid. "No one asked the students of 1997-98 what the hell they wanted." The caller added that a handful of students on various committees is not sufficient representation of 11,000 students. Sevenstudents are on the AS Board of Directors, seven are on the AS Facilities and Services Council, and aiew dozen are on the RHA, VU Director Jack Smith said. "I have a beef with last year's board, in thatthey never asked the students," Dorn said. "While the AS employees are also students, they have avested interest within the AS." One caller, who said he was in favor of the covered plaza, comparedWestern's campus to Arizona State University. He said that despite the constant sunny weather inArizona, the university has a huge covered complex for gathering. He added mat it rains in Bellinghameight months of the year, yet Western has no covered complex. Another caller said she didn't like theidea of having to go through a "mall" to receive her paycheck. The renovation plan would move the PlazaCashier to the fifth floor of VU, one floor down from where it is today. She said it was unreasonable to be subjected to various media and advertising to get to a place many students need to go. The semanticsof the word "mall" versus "galleria" was also discussed. O'Day insisted the plan creates a galleria, not amall. O'Day described Vendors' Row as a place to buy "trinkets." "Is Vendors' Row really that brownpiece of wood they call a ceiling?" O'Day said. Dorn responded to O'Day by saying, "You might haveyour own definition of what Vendors' Row is, but you are definitely in the minority." See related story,page 5. Unknown major guarantees job By Arvid Hokanson The Western Front The Western Foundation hosted a breakfast last month in Seattle for about 30 large-company executives who are interested inhiring graduates of Western's manufacturing management program. The program, started by Westernbusiness Professor Peter Haug about five years ago, combines business administration skills withmanufacturing knowledge. Haug established the Operations Management Advisory Board; consisting ofcorporate executives and faculty members, to give advise about structuring the major and the needs ofvarious industries. "Manufacturing has become so high-tech; it's much more sophisticated than it was10-to-15 years ago," said executive director for the Western Foundation, Jean Rahn. "Industries wantedbusiness people with knowledge of engineering and manufacturing," said Denny Organ, director ofstrategic planning for supply chain operations at Starbucks Coffee and a member of the OMAB.Rahn said Western is the only school in the state and one of the only schools in the region with amanufacturing management undergraduate program. Management professor Mark Springer said theUniversity of Washington has a similar program, but at the graduate level. Organ said that currently theneed for graduates of the program far exceeds the amount of graduates. The major currently has onlyeight students, but its goal is to have 20 students, with 10 graduates per year. Organ said one reasonthe major has so few students is that it requires 191 credits to graduate; also, most students don'tlearn about the major until their junior or senior year.

Pig loves "hog" In Key West, Fla.,Patricia Wyatt called police to report a stray potbellied pig courting her husband's new HarleyDavidson. While trying to have sex with the motorcycle's front wheel, the 50- pound pig scratched thepaint and tore the bike's fabric cover, causing $100 in damage. Animal control officers said theunclaimed stray would be neutered, but the bike's owner, Walter Wyatt, protested the punishment."His crime is an alleged sex act against a Harley," Wyatt said "We don't even know if that's a felony."Bet they wish it was vodka?

What reallyturns women on are the scents from candy-coated licorice, cucumbers and baby powder, a study saidWednesday. Following up on a previous study he did on the odors that most arouse men â€” pumpkinpie produced the strongest penile response â€” Alan Hirsch of the Smell Taste Treatment andResearch Foundation in Chicago said he exposed women to odors and then measured their vaginalblood flow. For women, he found the candied- licorice smell produced by "Good and Plenty" candy,the odor of cucumber and the odor of baby powder increased blood flow by 13 percent above theaverage blood flow. Other arousing odors were produced by pumpkin pie and lavender. Smells thatinhibited blood flow in women were cherries, charcoal-barbequed meat, and â€” perhaps disturbing toscent manufacturers â€” men's colognes. The women were exposed to the odors via surgical masks.Hirsch said various smells may recall images that reduce anxiety in people and increase theirreceptivity to sex. Odors also may act directly on the link between the olfactory sense and the septalnuclei portion of the brain, which he said is a center for sexual arousal. 50,000 bottles of beer on thewall In Brazil, retired beer-taster Bernd Naveke sued the brewery he worked for, claiming it turned himinto an alcoholic.

In England, Labor Council Ben Summerskill accused undercovercouncil officials and police of going "beyond the call of duty" when they visited a massage parlor 17times to make sure it was breaking the law. The inspectors noted they were given "amateurishmassages" by scantily clad young women before being offered sex, which they politely refused. Theyexplained that the 17 visits, costing $3,160, were necessary to prove that it was the owner and not the individual masseuses who were breaking the law. The truth hurts In suburban London, thieves stole asafe, stashed it in their car and parked outside their pub. While celebrating the heist, they saw policearrive outside and confiscate the getaway car. The gang broke into the police station to reclaim thecar.

The USC addresses "all university services relating to students and student affairs," saidJesse Salomon, Associated Students vice president for legislative affairs, who is serving on the USC inthe AS Board member position. The council, composed of faculty, staff and students, suspended itsmeetings in spring of 1995 pending a review of its structure, but administrators and students weredetermined to bring it back this year. The USC is expected to meet for the first time soon after SpringBreak. Connie Copeland, assistant dean for student affairs and academic support services and formerUSC chair from 1993 to 1995, said that during her tenure as chair, the council dealt with issues raised by 11 student- services subcommittees, determined policies and made recommendations about studentissues, such as the student rights and responsibilities code. , ' "(USC actions) were related tosubstantive policy issues. Not every policy of an office would come forth, but if they were majorpolicies, we would review them," Copeland said. In the absence of the USC, "any of thesubcommittees of the USC and the decisions that were coming out of them either went to the ASBoard or the administration," said Jack Smith, director of Student Activities. Some subcommittees,such as the gay and lesbian concerns committee, have continued to make policy recommendations to the AS or the administration. However, the process of trying to get student issues addressed is "prettychaotic," Salomon said, adding that without the USC, "some of the issues weren't discussed as much."The meeting was prompted by a desire to provide more of a forum for student issues, the need to reviewthe purpose and structure of the USC and a commitment from the AS Board to reintroduce theUSC, Salomon said. He said he has been working to bring back the USC along with current USC chair Kunle Ojikutu, assistant vice president for l/" I r\"l, * student affairs KUnie UJIKUtU since the beginning assistant vice president for student affairs of ^e eax "This is a collaborative effort of students and theadministration trying to work together for the same goal," said Ojikutu, who was designated by VicePresident for Student Affairs and Dean for Academic Services Eileen Coughlin as the chairperson the ofgoverning structure for the USC. 'This is a collaborative effort of students and the administration tryingto work together for the same goal." Sarah Steves, vice president for academic affairs, said the ASBoard is happy to see the USC meeting again, but she said she is disappointed it took so long to bringthe council back. "It should have been active a long time ago," she said. "But we are very excited for the USC and are anticipating the things they'll oversee." "I think this will be a good, functioning committee.Everyone is (enthusiastic)," Ojikutu said. However, Ojikutu and Salomon said the USC's structure andpurpose have not been finalized and will be reviewed by the committee members at .the first severalmeetings. "We have to talk about all these things and decide how we are going to operate," Ojikutusaid. "We do have a wealth of knowledge about this committee on campus, and we intend to tap intothat wealth of knowledge."

"He is a legend," saidChuck Steele, who drove up from Seattle just to see Beckey give his presentation. He has contributed immensely to the natural history of the area, Steele said. This is Beckey's third time at Western, but itis the first time the Outdoor Center has filled the 309- seat lecture hall, Indy McCasey said. About 60people were turned away because of lack of room. Beckey has been climbing in the Cascades for morethan 60 years. He has written three guidebooks, which are referred to in the climbing world as"Beckey's Bible," for climbing routes in the Cascades Beckey has climbed with climbing legends YvonChouinard and Heinrech Harrer. "He has first ascents on around 50 percent of the peaks in the NorthCascades," said Jeff Hambleton, Outdoor Center equipment shop coordinator. Beckey's presentation,"Journey to the Top," is about his explorations in climbing since 1938. Beckey is 77 years old and still climbing. Beckey explained his slides with stunning reality. It seemed as thought he was just thereyesterday, Erik Johnson, senior geology major, said. Beckey told stories of lightning storms,avalanches, falling into cravasses, and other interesting adventures. Beckey focused on the CanadianRockies and the Cascades. He showed snowy white peaks, with knife-edged rocks peeking through the snow, and vertical fields of cracked granite rising up to the skies. Beckey explained the history of Mt.Baker and the first ascent by Edmund Coleman. The natural history of Whatcom County was anotherone of the topics he covered briefly. Beckey said he is still amazed at how many peaks there still areto climb. "I just try to emphasize how much territory there is left," Beckey said. "People don't realizethe other places they can go instead of going back to the same old areas." These places are gettinghammered over and over, he said. One of the reasons is people rely on guidebooks to much, he said."People just need to go out and explore new areas," he said. "I don't think the whole West Coastclimbing community would be the same without what he has done," Eric Kalkowski, founder of theWestern Mountaineering nil P^(::^|t'^si;! ;;ilmo^ |ye$te^^yJ|S^ |tnMtJ|^^ i|i|ter;;:|^ jttlJei^ |$OP;iS joboffer from Boeing but proba- Council, from page 3 dations to the AS Board. The AS Board may overturnany policies set by the USC with a majority vote, Smith said, but if the decision is let stand, it becomesan established guideline, pending the regular review of AS decisions by the administration. If theadministration and the AS Board disagree about a policy, which rarely happens, Smith said, the Boardof Trustees intervenes to make a final decision. Salomon said he hopes the process will helpcommittees and individual students who have had difficulty finding a place to bring concerns. "I think the process is going to be smoother," he said. Another role of the USC, Salomon said, is to facilitatecommunication between students, faculty and staff, which Copeland said was one of the valuableparts of the council. "The USC created a place for dialogue between faculty, staff and students aboutproviding quality services for students," Copeland said. Five students will serve on the council^ including a representative from the AS board, a depart-mentally- related student and three student at-largemembers. "My main goal for the year is to make sure this committee and all other committees oncampus that we oversee are being well represented and that they are representing the students ofWWU to their fullest potential," wrote Victor Cox, a USC student at-large member, via e-mail. CalebPapineau agreed and said, "Most students don't have a clue what the USC does, or for that matter whatthe AS does. I want to get students involved." Club, said. He was very impressed about how personalthe show was. "I kind of had the feeling we were just sitting in a coffee shop talking over p h o t o g r a p h s , " Kalkowski said. "People were so excited to see him," McCasey said. "It was nice that he wasable to hang out and talk to people because a lot of people look up to him as a legend. He is veryauthentic and genuine." Beckey is known for not always following the traditional methods of climbing, but he holds his own standards. When he first started climbing, he was doing things people thoughtwere impossible, McCasey said. He pushed the limit, yet he has been climbing for more than 60years and has not had a serious accident in that time. That says something for his credibility,Hambleton said. Right now, Beckey is working on some writing projects and plans to give a few morelectures on college campuses. He plans to climb Mt. Logan in Alaska this summer. Courtesy ofAssociated Students' Publicity Center Fred Beckey stuck between some rocks and the sky. "He haspioneered everything I have learned about climbing," Johnson said, adding that almost every climb hehas done was first done by Beckey. "He is one of the few people I admire," Johnson said.

The initiative will not mandate specific action on the part of Viking Unionadministration; it will instead express student concern for the preservation of Vendors' Row and urgerenovators to include students more in the planning process. "The petition... is saying, 'Here are somethings that need to be addressed' as we continue with the plans/' said Jack Smith, Director of VikingUnion/Activities Adviser. The petition reads: "Shall the Associated Students Board of Directors direct theVU administration to do the following: 1) preserve Vendors' Row in its current location as an open-airmarketplace; 2) retain the VU Plaza as a popular outdoor community area and cultural center; and 3)require that the VU renovation plans be revised to specifically include ongoing and broad-based studentinput." Smith said the petition did not address the three long-term vendor positions that are in the latestplan. He also said the number of spaces that will be available to vendors Visit The Western Front onlineat www.wwu.edu/-wfront An interactive survey ^ is now online, so we at the Front can get immediatefeedback from our readers. is undecided. Smith said only four "tables" are designated for vendors in theproposed plans, but the number of tables isn't indicative of the number of vendoring spaces that willactually be available. He could not specify how many spaces might be available. "Two of the vendors said they weren't interested. They felt they wanted a broader representation of the university community,"Smith said. Smith said the plan has three main goals. "One is to provide a sense of community,"Smith said. "In the northwest it's rainy and drizzly. That's why it's important that (Vendors' Row is)indoors. It inspires a sense of community," Smith said. Jason Dorn, organizer of the Vendors' Rowpetition, disagreed with the notion that the renovation will increase a sense of unity on campus. "It wouldcreate a sense of commerce, not community," Dorn said. "Plenty of people still come and hang out when it's raining. Part of the mystique of this university is the lack of corporate entities." Dorn said the peopleat Vendors' Row are like family to him. "I hate to see my family get the shaft," he said. "The secondgoal is to create a sense of unity. Right now, we use the term (Viking) Union, but physically the threebuildings aren't connected," Smith said. "The last goal is identity; trying to create a sense of what theunion really is." He said the fact that the VU structures are separated presents obvious problems forpeople trying to find their way throughout the buildings. Smith said certain structural challenges havesurfaced in the building plans. The VU, Viking Addition and Student Co-op Bookstore are not at the same level. The VU is two feet higher than the VA, and the bookstore is about four feet away from the VA. "Ithink it's a good idea to put the Viking Union under one roof. In the process of doing that, though, I don'tthink they should hurt Vendors' Row with "I think the mOney ^ building of this bloody galleria," , . , , Dorn said. "If s not a necessity to have S h O U l d D e S p e n t On OUr the galleria to join those threebuildings. We're being miraged with con- education, not on our ability to buy goods" Jason Dornorganizer of the Vendors' Row Petition sumerism. "If you want to have an outdoor gathering place â€”What is Red Square? What is the area in front of Old Main?" Associated Student President ShaneO'Day said. The plan includes three main entrances to the VU. One will be on Garden Street and will act as a back door to the University. Smith said currently the entrance from Garden Street is not very inviting to visitors. The second entrance will be at the Performing Arts Center where the bridge is located. Thethird will be on High Street. Functional provisions include an 80-seat lecture-hall facility, an improvedmulti-purpose space for concerts, career fairs and exhibits, and a meeting conference facility forworkshops and dinners. Smith said affordability of the plan is considered in two main ways: how muchchange the $21 million budget will allow, and whether or not the university could find more efficient waysof building things in order to get the most for its dollars. "I think the money should be spent on oureducation, not on our ability to buy goods," Dorn said. "We don't have enough faculty members. We don't have good enough spaces for learning â€” Why are we spending money on this?" O'Day said studentshave had many opportunities to attend meetings to express concern about the renovation plans, but theyhaven't done that.

M A R IN E O \ I I C L R Boeing donates funds for engineering tools WESTERN FRONT Makes Dollars andCLASSIFIEDS Sense DISPLAY ADVERTISING 650-3160 By Sarah Erlebach The Western Front Thefirst $200,000 of a $600,000 donation from Boeing has been presented to Western's engineeringtechnology department. The gift, the largest ever made from the aerospace company to Western, will bepaid over a three-year period. This industry-university partnership will upgrade computer labs andmodernize the engineering department's software. "Students can design, create prototypes, plan,analyze, tool, manufacture, assemble, test, revise and document," said Kitto, "all on the newestequipment and all based on real-world projects." "We are pleased to expand our relationship withWestern," Ginny Woodhouse, resource and business manager at Boeing, said. .. "Aptitudes for changeand for professional growth, which are.so important to industry, don't begin after graduation," Woodhouse said. "We all benefit if they begin within the curriculum." Boeing usually supplies engineeringtechnology with about $25,000 in grants each year. The increased donation supplies hands-on training,giving Western graduates a jump-start when they enter the workforce. "This will enable students to usethe same modern equipment in their university experiences as they will be using after graduation,"Kathy Kitto, chairperson of the engineering technology department, said. "Only through industrypartnerships, such as this one with Boeing, can technology-based education keep pace with the ever-changing dynamics of the high-tech workplace/' Kitto said. More than 1,200 Western graduatescurrently work for Boeing. The Boeing internship program also draws heavily from Western; 27 business, science and technology majors interned there last year. This donation program has been designed togive students experience in many stages of engineering design and development. The most recentdonation will be made in three phases. This year, 30 new computers, complete with programs thatcreate 3-D designs, and basic machine tools will be purchased. By the fall of 1998, this equipmentwill be used in the new Basic Modeling, and Design lab, built with Boeing funds. During phase two, .inthe fall of 1999, enough machine tools will be acquired for all engineering technology majors to haveaccess to them. Also, an industrial-quality rapid prototyping facility will be created in the engineeringand technology building. Rapid prototyping machines make concrete models out of computerizeddesigns. Beginning in the fall of 2000, the program's third and final phase will provide additionalequipment for an instrumentation lab. The equipment will give students the opportunity toconcentrate on the final stages of testing, analysis, assembly and design modification of finishedproducts. ---------- Western Front - 1998 March 13 - Page 6 ---------- 6 TTHE WESTERN FRONT NEWS March 13, 1998 Construction may soon start on skatepark By AlBently The Western Front Plans for a skateboard park in Bellingham are finalized, and the project,which will be located south of Civic Field off of Lakeway Drive, will be partially completed this summer,skatepark officials said Monday. The 160-by-120-foot site may not be fully completed until some timenext year. "The city council approved $45,000 for the project last year," said Leslie Bryson, theBellingham Parks and Recreation worker overseeing the project, "and some of that went to designfees. This year, they approved another $55,000 for the project." Currently, the city, which is in charge ofbuilding the skatepark, has set aside about $100,000 for the project. Joanne Allen, member of theWhatcom County Skatepark Foundation, said the city will need $210,000 to finish the project. Theconstruction, Bryson said, will be broken down into three phases, the first of which will be the laying ofsome of the concrete for the park. "The park will serve a wide range of skill levels," Allen said. Half ofthe park will be a series of "street aspects" â€” handrails and other metal beams to slide down, and theother half will be three clover leaf bowls and a series of transitions, rolling concrete fields and good sharpedges to grind on. One transition features a sharp rise from a bowl into a four-foot vertical wall. "Thispark, if they end up building it, will be one of the biggest and the best of its kind in the Northwest," saidKevin Greisch, a skateboarder who helped build the model for the park. "It's going to be great to have aplace like Courtesy of Kevin Greisch A model of the proposed skatepark. Construction on the skateparkis expected to begin by this summer. this for kids to go," Greisch said. "It'll be an all-around good thingfor the community. Skaters won't have to deal with people coming down on them all the time. Rightnow, people are all 'no, no, no' about skateboarding, and this will give them a 'yes.'" "Hopefully thewhole level of skateboarding will go up because of this park; pros will come here and more kids will besponsored," Greisch said. One of the best things about the park is that it was designed by the skatersthemselves, Allen said. "The mayor has gone to bat for us," Allen said. "He really wants this thing tobe built." Now it's just a question of money, Allen said. On April 25, the WCSF will sponsor a concertat Bloedel Donovan' Park, the proceeds of which will benefit the construction of the park, Allen said.Local bands will play, and WCSF members will raffle donated skateboard-related items, Allen said.Several philanthropists have stepped up to help the skateboard park become a reality. Among thecharitable groups who gave money were the Whatcom County Foundation, which donated $8,000, andthe Bellingham Central Lion's Club, which gave $5,000 to the city.

On the ceiling, thetitle of the display, "Through the Eyes of a Rapist," leads the viewer, word by harsh, black word, down the hall in both directions. "It draws you through," said Joe Fieldman, one of six students who put the project together for a Women's Studies class. The brainchild of Western student Mark Allen, who wasunavailable for comment, this display is intended to enlighten men about women's fears regarding rape.Through alarming statistics and headless photographs, the group hopes to shed some light on theseverity of rape and encourage a change of attitude about it. "It's one of those taboo subjects," groupmember Shawna Compton said. "People generally don't discuss it." Nine black-and-white pictures,portraying the scene of a rape, adorn the south side of the corridor. They begin with a group of kids at aparty, progress through a girl and a guy separating from the others and end with the guy assaulting thegirl. Two pairs of eyes, one above the other, stare fearfully at viewers as they travel from the fourthpicture to the fifth. In every picture, the cameraman, (Allen) photographed the subjects from the neckdown because the whole purpose is to view rape as a rapist would, Compton said. "What is a rapistnoticing?" she asked. "The body." "Rape strips your identity," she said, adding that the collage offaceless women on the opposite side of the hall is meant to demonstrate this anonymity. "Ifs to showrape can happen to anyone," group member Kashari Corbett said. "Rape doesn't have a face." Nor doesit have an age, according to the display. A large sign reveal that the oldest woman raped in WhatcomCounty was 83 and the youngest was only six months old. College students aren't the only victims ofrape, Compton said. But college women are still frightened of becoming a statistic, according to a surveyof Western students conducted by Fieldman, which revealed that less than half of women feel safe oncampus most of the time. A list of facts compiled by the majority staff of the Senate Judiciary Committee testifies six-to-eight rapes occur per week in Whatcom County, and 98 percent of victims will never seetheir rapists punished. Also on the list is the fact that the U.S.' rate of rape is 20 times higher thanJapan's. Seattle's rate of rape has increased 420 percent in the past 10 years. The exhibit also broughtup the fact that battered animal shelters outnumber battered women's shelters 3-to-l. "Enough isenough," declares the final photo in the series, depicting the same girl from the first photo, clutching abaseball bat at her side with the words "no more rape" printed on the wood. Another display states that70 percent of college men would rape if they didn't fear being caught. This statistic is boldly enumeratedon a piece of cardboard leaning against the wall. The final piece of art is a literary work entitled"Privilege." The poem, written by DA. Clarke, urges men to realize they take many things for granted,including the fact that men can strip from the waist up if they so desire, and they don't possess the same paranoid instinct that forces women to search the backseats of their cars before getting in. A cart ofbooks dealing with rape waits at the end of the exhibit to satisfy the curiosity of anyone intrigued by theissue presented. The project was funded by the Social Center, which, bought the exhibit to use for futurepresentations. i l i i f l i i i l i p ^ Front/Aaron Dahl This picture from the exhibit depicts the horrors of child rape.

FINALS WEEK ---------- Western Front - 1998 March 13 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS March 13, 1998 Environmental group sues game department ByKlaus Gosma The Western Front The Bellingham-based Northwest Ecosystem Alliance is trying to getan injunction from a 9th Circuit Federal District Court against the Washington State Department of Fishand Wildlife for violating the Endangered Species Act. Joe Scott, conservation director for NorthwestEcosystem Alliance, said that in 1990, his organization petitioned the Department of Fish and Wildlife tore-classify the North Cascade Grizzly Bear from threatened to endangered. In 1991, Fish and Wildlifesaid the change was warranted, but they precluded, pending other listings that had precedent. Underthe Endangered Species Act, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is required to revisit its ruling withinone year, which they failed to do, Scott said. The Department of Fish and Wildlife did not return theFront's phone calls after attempts were made at contacting it for more than two weeks. Scott said the re-classification, which is known as an "uplisting", would lend a sense of urgency to grizzlyrecovery efforts in the North Cascades, which he speculated had a bear population of anywhere from10 to 20. "They've put the North Cascade Grizzly in a bureaucratic roundfile." Joe Scott NorthwestEcosystem Alliance "They've put the North Cascade Grizzly in a bureaucratic roundfile," Scott said."There is no defensible position for them to not find (the bears) endangered based on sci-ence/' he said.Scott said the department's "precluded" findings are a way to temporarily avoid allocating theresources necessary to uplist the bear, as well as dodging political backlash. "The effort they've put into helping this population is like tossing an uninflated life jacket to a drowning sailor," he said. Scott said the department has to allocate more resources to a recovery effort if the grizzlies are uplisted. "Thereare a whole set of considerations that have to be implemented when bears are in the back country, suchas educa-tion, and monitoring habitat," Scott said. "They have to delineate bear management unitsreflective of food sources and seasonal habitat use," he added. Scott said grizzlies are the secondslowest animals in North America to reproduce and have a low cub survival rate. Scott said thealliance is currently "sitting tight" for a month or so to see if the judge issues the injunction. TheNorthwest Ecosystem Alliance plans to pursue further legal recourse if the finding is not overturned.Protest organized to prevent mass suicide By Tiffany White The Western Front In the peaceful cloudforests of the Colombian Andes Orinoco basin, a small indigenous tribe, the U'wa, threatens toexterminate itself by means of mass suicide. The 5,000 tribal members are threatening to leap froma 1,400- foot cliff in the Andes mountains if the California-based Occidental Petroleum and Shell Oilreceive government authorization to drill for oil on the tribe's native lands. Laura Scholtz, Fairhavenstudent, and Shane Powell, environmental science major, are working together to hold a peacefuldemonstration against Occidental Petroleum and Shell Oil at 4 p.m. today at the Shell Gas Station,4240 Meridian St.. Demonstrators will be wearing black to symbolize oil and mourning, displayingsigns, gathering signatures for letters to the oil companies and offering information to the communityregarding the U'wa situation. "Part of the demonstration is to educate the public about issues like thisbecause they don't get publicized," Scholz said, "and demonstrate to Shell and Occidental that peoplecare about issues like this; people care about indigenous rights; people care about the rainforest, andwe don't think it is okay for corporate companies to disregard those issues." The U'wa tribal-land rights are currently endangered by possible oil drilling and "threaten the physical and spiritual worlds of theU'wa by bringing roads, more colonists and violent conflict into U'wa territory/' according to the websitefor the U'wa Defense Project, a group comprised of several organizations such as the AmazonCoalition, Center for Justice and International Law and the National Indigenous Organization ofColombia. Negotiations between the natives and the oil companies regarding land rights initially beganin April 1997 and are still being debated. The Traditional U'wa Authority is unanimously opposed tomining on land it considers sacred. Occidental Petroleum and Shell Oil also own the oil-drillingproject with Colombia National Oil, Scholz explained. The oil companies will "go onto U'watraditional land that (the U'wa) have occupied for as long as anyone can remember," Scholz said.Occidental Petroleum has invested $12 million in the oil site but said it would not continue oil exploration without coming to an agreement with the U'wa community, according to the U'wa Defense Project.The Environmental Ministry in Colombia presented documents in Colombian high courts stating that itdid hold meetings with the U'wa community and received its consent to proceed with the oil-drillingproject on U'wa lands. The U'wa community claims that its traditional tribal leaders were not present atthe meetings, the oil drilling process was not adequately explained and the written accords weresigned by members of other ethnic groups, according to the U'wa Defense Project. Powell explains thatthe situation in Colombia resembles the problems native peoples in Nigeria faced with large oilcompanies. "Part of our reason for doing this demonstration is because of Shell's past with Nigeria,"Powell said. "They have shown they can be pretty oppressive," he said. Scholz said Shell Oil's presence in Nigerian native lands has caused more than 2,000 deaths. With Shell's activities in Nigeria, "theirculture has been destroyed as well as their farmland that sustains them," Scholtz said. "There are alot of issues that we are focusing on what's going on in U'wa land, but both of these companies havehistories of disregarding indigenous human rights as well as not respecting the environment,"Scholz said. "That is why it is important to protest before and try to stop it from happening again."Also, with the demonstration, "we want to make sure Shell and Occidental know that we are will' ing tohelp anyone organize education and a protest against this," Powell said. The Los Angeles Timesreported that, according to tribal legend, a group of U'wa tribe members lead by Chief Guaiticucommitted mass suicide in the 17th century in a protest against Spanish colonists. Students who areinterested in participating in the protest may call the Environmental Center for more information at 650-6129.

Johnson set out to remedy this situation. "I decided there was probably a goodmarket for (an alternative paper)," he said. "Every town can use more than one news source." Johnsonteamed up with Wayne Ellis, a Bellingham music-scene veteran. "Ellis provided inroads into the localscene, while I brought insight into local politics," Johnson said. Ellis and Johnson divide the work load,with Johnson supervising news coverage and Ellis handling entertainment. The recent hiring ofEntertainment Editor Amy Kepferly allows Ellis to assume the position of general manager, althoughhe remains involved in entertainment news. The average alternative newspaper has a circulation ofbetween 30,000 and 50,000; the Every Other Weekly currently circulates 8,000 copies of each bi-weekly issue. Johnson said he foresees circulation ulugt; mately reaching 18,000. Its relatively smallsize does not inhibit the Every Other Weekly from competing with traditional papers, he added._ m thefuture, Johnson said he would like to see the Every Other Weekly broaden. He said a staff goal is tocover "more towns and more items in each town." In the. past, the Every Other Weekly has covered avariety of topics, including water issues and environmental concerns, local politics and downtowndevelopment. At the national level, the paper has discussed criminal justice, civil rights and laborissues. Johnson said mainstream media restrictions sometimes lead to misinterpretation of the truth.He gave the example of criminal justice coverage, stating that murder and rape account for a largepercentage of crime reporting, while they probably only constitute about one percent of crime inBellingham. "One advantage an alternative paper has is the ability to decide, 'What do we want to coverthis week?/" Johnson said. "We cover issues with greater skepticism and depth than any other paperpeople are likely to find in Bellingham." Johnson said he doesn't subscribe to all of the hard-and-fastrules of journalism. "There are certain givens in the journalism business that are widely believed butare not necessarily true," he said. Journalistic objectivity is something Johnson believes is taken to anextreme. "The minute you write a story as a journalist," he said, "you have taken a viewpoint."There are two roles as a community-based paper. One is to get out information that is important topeople's everyday lives," Johnson said. "The other is to listen to the community and respond to what isimportant to the community." The Every Other Weekly is focusing on fulfilling this second role, Johnsonsaid. Front/Erin Fredrichs The Every Other Weekly's Tim Johnson doing what he does every other week.Graduate School Anyone?

(Below) Someblown glass works displayed at the Morrison Glass Art studio in Bellingham. Morrison GLodd Art dtudioprovided gladd to the madded Two men are silhouetted in the blasting glow of the flames on the otherside of the room. Entering the workshop, heat billows and withers the March air like a wool blanket. Chris Morrison introduces himself and points out Sterling Powell and Nick Frey, who are beginning a new piece of glass art Jasori Jones watches and waits for his turn in this intricate dance with the capricious glass.The men have been working together for about nine months. Morrison has been sculpting glass for 16years; his art is on display at galleries across the country and at the local ChuckanutBay Gallery andGallery West in Fairhaven. Having infeptluced his co-workers and his dog, Izzy, Morrison begins toexplain the glass blowing process. ./'Those are work stations on the outside," Morrison said, pointingJtothe vt^o openings emitting the raging orange heat '% '"^^ . The crucible,, which holds the lava, is keptat about 2,200 ;: .*â€¢ degrees, Frey said. ';â€¢;::': y:/'Ws like a pot of honey," Morrison said. They dipthe molten glass out just like gathering honey with a honey-dipper, he explained. 1 Morrison said Nickstarted with a piece of clear glass and blew a bubble into it through a metal tube. "Sterling is preparinghim a drip of molten color," he said. The bubble is formed by filling the tube with air and trapping it, hesaid. "You don't need super lungs," he said. The glass is hot enough that the trapped air. just expandsit." Morrison said one of the myths about glass blowing is that you would be hurt if you sucked in on thetube â€” instead, the bubble just collapses. As Sterling works with it, the balloon of glass forming on thetube is swelling; it looks like a giant Christmas bulb, glowing red. They reach a transition in the recess;Morrison sits down on a bench and Jones begins to spin the tube while Morrison shapes the glass.Powell steadies Morrison's instruments with a wooden paddle, and Frey blows into the tube at Morrison's command. Reflected in the glass are the industrial lights of the warehouse, dancing like animatedbubbles across the surface. The process is composed of short intervals â€” the piece spends a minute in the "glory hole," a chamber of flames used to heat the glass and then a few minutes being shaped bythe collaboration of eight hands. While it's being shaped, a blowtorch is used to spot-heat the glass. "Ittakes a lot of teamwork," Morrison said. He likened glass blowing to the team sports he played in hisyouth. . "It is very physical and demanding," he said. "(Glass) is a wonderful, seemingly alive medium."Among the tools Morrison wields is a pad of wet newspaper used to smooth and shape glass.Although clouds of steam billow off the newspaper, the heat doesn't burn his hands. Frey is working atthe second station, preparing a different- colored piece of molten glass for the lipwrap. He clips off theexcess with a pair of scissors and it falls to the floor with a sploosh where it hardens, unnoticed. Thelipwrap is applied to the edge of the bowl like DIY icing on a frozen toaster pastry. After Morrison isfinished smoothing the bowl, cool water is used to break the glass between the tube and the bowl.Shaped pieces are placed in an annealer, a computer-controlled box that holds the temperature atabout 1000 degrees initially, dropping it a few degrees every few hours until it cools. Rows of gleamingpieces line shelves and hang from hooks on the ceiling upstairs. Varied shades of color arerepresented, shining enticingly down. "(Glass) is very temperamental â€” I feel like I'm just now getting ahold of it," Morrison said. "I think I picked glass because it is so intense," he said, with a gleam in hiseyes brilliant enough to compete with the sheen of the surrounding art. ---------- Western Front - 1998 March 13 - Page 11 ---------- March 13, 1998 ACCENT THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 ass Front/Dennis Pasco By David PlakosThe Western Front Humans have been blessed with the ability to express themselves and art, in itsmany forms, is the culmination of many such expressions. Although opinions of what makes good artare as subjective as the art form itself, few can argue against neon. It is one_of the most ineffable anddownright cool expressions ox creativity known to humankind. Within shouting distance of Bellis FairMall, in a garage filled with the odor of burnt propane, Mark Johnson, owner of Bellingham Neon^, worksmagic with glass and gas. When finished, his magic lights up the night with a brilliance no other art formcan touch. According to the book "Let There Be Neon," neon and other rare gases were first used forelectric light in 1897; a decade later, neon was made practical. Now, a century after neon's inception,aesthetics is the most popular reason to choose neon. Johnson demonstrates just how good a gascan look as he performs custom neon work for a variety of customers, ranging from the new BullpenCasino being built in Colorado to reparations for the Bellingham Herald sign that lights up the city sky. He has also done work for Pasta Pasta in Bellis Fair, Cost Cutter and People's Bank. If s a profession heloves and one he takes a great deal of pride in. "You're not going to get rich," Johnson said. "But I doenjoy what I do. You get some satis- , faction out of it." Considering his previous occupation, Johnsonsaid he is fortunate to create neon art. "I used to work at an.aluminum plant," Johnson said. Then oneday "they closed the doors. I fell into this displaced workers program for the state. I hated my job, sowhy not find something you enjoy doing? I finally got the opportunity to get out of it, and I took it."Johnson decided to go to a school in Portland, and learned to work with neon in 1987. Now he spendshis days turning gas and tubes of glass into beautiful and illuminescent decorations. Some of thosedecorations take a few hours; some take longer. "There's a Top Foods store down in Tacoma with anawful lot of glass," Johnson said, half-sighing. "That took about three months." Having spent the last eight years in Bellingham, the latter six of those as owner of Bellingham Neon, bending glass and making itgleam, Johnson knows his job isn't easy. "It's an art; it's not something you can read out of a book. It'shands-on learning. It really takes years to get the feel of glass bending." Neon extraordinare MarkJohnson at Bellingham Neon shop, proudly displays his "mistakes." Although he loves his work, it has its downsides. Sometimes, projects may be canceled after work has begun. One project, Johnsonexplained with hints of both glee and sorrow, was a several-foot-tall fisherman. One day, Johnson got aphone call saying the restaurant the fisherman was to be made for was closing, and Johnson had already completed the head. ^"1 was Jdnd of bumrned when I heard they went ;puÂ£6f business,"Jolin^on'said^I really I wanted to do this. That happens every now and then. It's not so much the waste ofmoney as it is the waste of time." Johnson said the project was a total loss â€” he still has the head and the imagination and talent to have some fun with it. But cancelled jobs aren't his only concern. "Lordknows I've burned myself a few times," Johnson said as he pointed out marks up and down his forearms."Every now and then, I'll still do it. Every now and then I'll grab a hot piece of glass by accident." Burns,however, give way to one overriding injury his work brought him last summer. "I was working at a Shellstation in Eatonville," Johnson said. "I fell about 30 feet." Johnson, now walking with a cane after beingout of commission for four months, hasn't missed a beat. Currently, he works with a sign shop inBellingham and remains as busy as ever. "I work with Custom Design," Johnson said. "They get the joband they subcontract to me. Wherever they go, I go." His work has taken him all the way to the BigApple. "I, did one for a TV commercial that went back to New York," Johnson said. Although most of hiswork is local, he still remains exceptionally busy. He just purchased a $4,000 pumping system(instead of a new truck) to help him keep up with the demands of his customers. In between bigprojects, he does smaller reparations for companies and, if he's lucky, a little for himself and friends.He has a bright-red Chevy symbol he plans to use as a third brake light in the beautiful teal 1964Chevrolet Malibu that shares the garage with his workshop. "Birthdays, Christmas â€” you do a lot ofpersonal kinds of things," Johnson said. "It. just takes so much time." Burns, falls, cancellations andlittle free time for himself don't seem to bother Johnson. "I'm still vertical!" he said with a grin. "I'm prettyfortunate to have found something I really enjoy. I'll be doing this 'til the day I drop."

Radio theater â€” that is. Dark tales of espionage, evoking the feel of the1940s-era radio drama, are brewing in the studios of Western's 89.3 KUGS-FM, as a nearly abandonedmedium makes a come-back. Recently, a group of Western students and community members began toresurrect the aural entertainment form of radio theater with an episode of the "Nazi Smasher," written byBellingham resident Richard L. Jouper, 32. The episode, entitled "The Hypno-Ray Conspiracy," takes onthe superficial innocence and decency of the pre-World War II years and tilts the genre on its side byexploiting its frequently campy nature. Running at approximately 20 minutes, the episode features atongue-in-cheek plot line involving' an infallibly good American spy and a Nazi colonel so hysterically-evilthat his dialogue makes Colonel Klink of Hogan's Heroes appear competent. The episode will berebroadcast at 7:30 p.m. March 15 on KUGS. Jouper, who is working on several other radio plays thatmirror the '40s, became involved with the radio theater group after ,,;rflsi||ljl|i:i:s,,:. hearing it waslllBliiiiilBiiliils:: searching for l I B i B i p l i l l l i i l l l l i scripts. A second I ^ J I ^ ^ S ^ ^ ^ ^ H l l installation in his ^ i l M f c f t i ^ l i l i l l l i i i i l i l l : "Nazi Smasher" series, "The C h r i s t m a s Episode," iscurrently in production and is scheduled for a St. Patrick's Day broadcast. Jouper sees the group asa way of resuscitating an all-but-forgotten genre of radio. "I think this is a great opportunity for people toget back into doing radio the way radio used to be done," Jouper said. "(If s) a sorely underused mediumright now, and it'd be nice to spark it back to life." While the first two radio plays in the program's shorthistory were written by Jouper, the theater group stresses that it's always looking for scripts fromstudents and community members alike. A shortage of workable scripts has made it difficult for the group to routinely stage programs for broadcast. "I'd like to see it to the point where we get a script outprobably every other week," group member Gabe Lukeris said. "I think thaf s pretty realistic." In additionto being on the lookout for scripts, the group is also searching for people who might have experience inthe creation of sound effects. Realistic audio effects have been underdeveloped in previous scriptsalready produced, and the group seeks to acquire someone with such a background to flesh out theprogram. The hope among group members is that they will be able to nurse the program from its infancyinto a regular feature at KUGS so future Western students can enjoy the opportunities it offers. With thelarge number of students within the majors of English and Theater Arts departments, there is frequently a struggle to be heard or seen by a legitimate audience. By creating another avenue for students to gainexperience in creative writing and acting, radio theater allows students an alternative to the oftenovercrowded mediums of campus publications and theater. "If you have any aspirations to write, it's agreat way to showcase what you have," Jouper said. Recently, the group has seen an influx ofparticipation. A script from theater arts professor Perry Mills, "Fire Me, Then ... " i s also scheduled forproduction. The twisted feel of Mill's script should add variety to the program's recent focus on spycamp. "Perry's piece is very sardonic and it's really a lot of fun," group member Mark White said. "Itreally has fun with the family; it's a family play â€” with a chuckle." Group member Susan Martin said she hopes that with a little help from burgeoning playwrights, the program will succeed. "Now that we'vefinally gotspmething broadcast," Martin said. "T trunk we feel like we're ready to start really rolling, andthat was our first stumbling block." 'Perfume Tree' â€” new synth sensuality FILM REVIEW By JenniLong The Western Front "The Big Lebowski" is a far-fetched blend of White Russians, bowling andperformance art. And unlike the Coen brothers' previous effort, "Fargo," "The -Big Lebowski" has adecent plot, interesting characters â€”-â€¢ andaction.^ As unlikely as it might seem, there are two JeffLebowskls in the greater Los Angeles area. One is the rich, stuffy, ill-tempered, elderly Jeff Lebowski,and the other is called "The Dude." The Dude is mentally stuck in the '70s, and when he is mistaken forthe other Jeff Lebowski by a couple of thugs â€” who beat him up and urinate on the rug that "ties hiswhole room together" â€” all hell breaks loose in his otherwise monotonous life. The strong dialogue anddeveloped characters in this film give it a strong voice. As the perpetually oiit-of-step Dude, JeffBridges turns in the performance of a lifetime. His^ semi-stoned proto-slacker is the role Bridges wasborn to play. The Dude's friend Walter (John Goodman), a Vietnam veteran, is a quicktempered,rambling man who wants to get even with the world he sees through war-torn eyes. His language andrandom acts of confrontation make Walter a humorous reminder of your shell-shocked uncle. SteveBuscemi's scene-stealing Donny is relegated to a mere cameo, a pawn for Goodman's righteous anger."Shut the fuck up, Donny," is all Donny (Steve Buscemi) is told throughout the movie,, which helped tomaintain this char1 acter's low profile. The interaction between The Dude and Walter give me film addi-tioriallife.; ; V . John Turttiwq^s screen tjxne might be miMrn^ second. In his immaculate; bowling attire, Turturro's Jesus Quintana maneuvers his skinny body in a jolting, hip-thrusting, bowling-fevered dance.This sleazy, weasle, hair-net clad, bowling junkie lives for his two great loves â€¢â€”eight-year-old girlsand watching pins fall. The whole movie revolves around The Dude, who spends his days smoking joints and hanging out with his two unstable pals. , However/at times, "The Big Lebowski" gives The Dude abreak from reality. The movie is punctuated by occasional dream sequences where The Dudeexperiences flying, dancing, singing and bowling hallucinations in the finest Hollywood musicaltradition. If the "Big Lebowski" was sex, I would rate it .a full-on, screaming, nail-clawing, -., .sweatyorgasm â€” then I'd eat a sandwich. . CD REVIEW By Sarah Erlebach The Western Front PerfumeTree's newest release, "Feeler," is the music of dreams, pulsating in and out of the listener'sconsciousness, perfect for unwinding after a rough day. Use this album â€¢â€¢;':-\ ..-." ;.:â€¢-;;â€¢..;â€¢ â€¢â€¢.. with care, however, as the often angry sound may induce depression, and the repetitivebackbeat could cause a headache after successive listenings. Perfume Tree, a Vancouver, BritishColumbia, outfit formed in 1992, is comprised of Jane Tilley, Pete Lutwyche and Bruce Turpin. Thenine tracks on "Feeler" are bound together by a driving beat and wispy vocals, flowing into each other tocreate a single, organic song. The sounds produced are obviously an electronic experiment, a mish-mash of fluttery vocals, fuzzy-amp noise and otherworldly keyboard patterns. Occasionally, a guitarline floats in, then out again, remaining just long enough to bundle listeners up and twirl them' away - : .;- - " Tilley, the female vocalist and only voice on the album, sounds like an icy, chanting Enya, heavy onthe delay. The lyrics are indistinguishable, her voice used as another instrument, not a centerpiece.Listeners are swept along, wrapped up in the hypnotic, yearning cadences. "Feeler" begins with thehardest-hitting song of the album. In the song, "can't you?," listeners nearly taste Tilley's echoingvoice. The squelchy keyboard surges forward, eclipsing the vocal line, then drops to the background."flooded" opens with a reverberating note, followed by vocals rendered incomprehensible bysynthesization. The single tone continues throughout the song. A driving, slappy percussion part joinsnear the end of the piece, obliterating the quiet long note. Perfume Tree's improvised grooves shoot offin so many directions that listeners are unaware of where one song begins and another ends. Thespiraling, ethereal melodies are vaguely frustrating, expressing intense emotions through swelling drumbeats and captivating keyboards, then fading without ever peaking, "Feeler" is the band's fourth full-length CD.

"It was a good weekend," freshman Center/Co-Captain Sam Charles said. "Wecame together as a team and learned how to work with each other. It was extremely encouraging."Western played five games over the weekend, going 2-1-2. Their only loss came in game one againstLinfield. "We started out slow," senior home Leslie Crow said. "I think we're better than them, but wewere tired. Still, this weekend was a good indication of what works for us â€” on offense and defense.We had a lot of successful mid-field connections that allowed for some pretty spectacular goals."Western picked up 9-7 wins against Whitman College and the University of Puget Sound. Western beatUPS Sunday after tying them 4-4 in a defensive stand-off on Saturday. But the Viking's mostpromising performance came in the 9-9 tie against the University of Washington. "That game reallyshowed off our midfield connections â€” specifically between Charles, defensive-wing Camille Thrashand attack-wing Lisa Schafer," said senior midfielder Sara Kinneen. "UW usually kills us," Crow said."But we showed them we can compete this year. We should have beat them, but they came on strongat the end of the game, scored a few goals and forced a tie." "We have a lot of experienced freshmen,"Kinneen said. "That is such a bonus. Usually, our rookies have never played the game â€” but thesegirls have three, four years of high school experience. They've been able to step right in and makevaluable contributions â€” especially Sam." Charles is Western's offensive juggernaut. The team looksfor a Seattle Mariners ready to dominate AL West in 1998 'Mffijaffe COMMENTARY With the Marinersbusy at spring training, it is now time to take a look at what happened during the winter, and howthings look for the 1998 baseball season. The biggest story of this offseason was not what didhappen, but more what didn't happen. After the Mariners announced in November that they wouldnot offer pitcher Randy Johnson a contract extension after this season, trade rumors for the left-handerflew everywhere. However, nothing happened and Johnson is still with the team. With Johnson onboard, the Mariners are clearly the favorite to win the American League West title again. There wereother important moves that went on as well, and the front office worked to improve the team. Around theinfield, things look as solid as ever. The team did lose first baseman Paul Sorrento to Tampa Bay, butsigned David Segui from Montreal The two are essentially a wash, with Segui hitting for signings of PatListach and Jeff Huson are intended to provide this depth. Listach was 1992 Rookie of the Year withMilwaukee, but he hasn't done much of anything since. With Johnson on the team, the Mariners haveone of the strongest rotations in the AL. He will be joined by lefties Jamie Moyer and Jeff Fassero. Moyer should be recovered from the injury that forced him out of Game 2 against Baltimore last year. Fasseroshould prove to be the workhorse he has been in the last few seasons. Things get a bit more interestingat this point. 23-year-old Ken Cloude will fit in the fourth spot in the rotation. Cloude demonstratedpromise after his call up late last year. However, should Cloude falter, Piniella's patience for youngpitchers is notoriously short, and the Mariners may look for a veteran to fill this role. Bill Swift, Felipe Liraand Paul Spoljaric will battle for the fifth spot in the rotation. The inside track seems to be for the veteranSwift. Spoljaric still has a lot to prove, after being the key ingredient in the Cruz trade last year, and Lirais hoping to improve on a disappointing 1997 season. Should Swift prove effective in spring training, bothbetter average, (and able to hit left- Â«-|-i KM ' U Â«J ^J*ra anlt;^ Spoljaric will start the sea-handers),Sorrento offering stronger I I IG M a N n S r S MaO son in the bullpen. lrtQÂ£i f " V l l 7 Ir h i l t As thecase was last year, the vJUOC vyl UZ. U l . UUl bullpen remains the question mark home run numbers.Joey Cora returns at second base, fresh off an all-star 1997 season. He has lost a step in the speedcategory, but he still brings some average to the top of the order. The shortstop position is set in stonenow, and should be for at least the next 10 years. Alex Rodriguez ended up trading him away for whatamounted to a bucket of base-heading into the season. Heathcliff Slocumb, another mid-seasonacquisition last year, will start the season as the closer. Slocumb is another Bobby Ayala-type pitcher.When he's on, he's almost impossible to hit, but when of magic beans." will provide his average, speedand h f l j l c flpd Q.

Last season was going well for Russ Davis until an August collision at homeplate where he severely sprained his ankle. Davis is healthy now and will continue to put up strongoffensive numbers. The outfielders are particularly strong. Jay Buhner and Ken Griffey Jr. will be in rightand center, respectively. Everyone knows what they can do. Left field is a bit more intriguing. TheMariners thought they had their man for the future in Jose Cruz Jr. but they ended up trading him away for what amounted to a bucket of baseballs and a couple of magic beans. Going into camp, the left fieldposition is Glenallen Hill's to lose. The Mariners signed Hill as a free agent this winter. Should he falter,the tried-and- true Rich Amaral/Rob Ducey platoon will handle the duties. The catching duties will behandled by Dan Wilson, one of the best in the league. Lou Piniella has said he wants to rest Wilsonmore often, as Wilson began to show signs of tiring toward the end of last season. John Marzano andRick Wilkins will provide veteran leadership in the backup duties. One of the Mariners' primary goals thisoffseason was to add some speed and depth to the bench. The The big free-agent signing of the off-season was 407year-old Tony Fossas, who should be the left-handed setup man the Mariners lacked last year. The big loss, if you want to look at it that way, was Norm Charlton and his 7.27 ERA heading off to Baltimore. Mike Timlin, Bob Wells and Ayala will work out of the bullpen as well. Minor-league freeagents Randy Veres and Andrew Lorraine are competing for limited roster spots. Veres is coming off aninjury-shortened season, and Rafael Carmona will be effective in middle relief once he comes back from injuries he suffered in a car accident this winter. The Mariners seem to be banking on the theory thatthe bullpen can't possibly be any worse than it was last year, which could be a solid bet. However ifthings go wrong, the farm system is very short on prospects to trade for rent-a-players this summer.Putting the bullpen issue aside, the Mariners should be the team to beat with the best 1-9 batting Orderin baseball and a strong starting rotation. A strong showing from the bullpen, and the Mariners are WorldSeries contenders. Predicted record: 93-69,1st in.AL West. stellar season from the freshman center.Western Head Coach Heather Gilmore said she thinks this team is much better than last year's â€” andshe cites the rookies as one of the big reasons. "The biggest improvement comes from a lot of veteranplayers and a good group of experienced rookies," she said. "I think we're going to do prettywell," she added. "They really used to get annihilated by UW, but this year they tied â€” that showsimprovement in itself." The Vikings players are quick to credit their coach, whose efforts they say areinvaluable. "Heather has instilled within us such an intense drive and motivation," senior attack/Co-captain Shelly Turner said. "Our smart play reflects her teaching." Gilmore coached Western last year,but left part way through the season to coach the Canadian National Team in the World Cup. "ThatWorld Cup experience is invaluable," Kinneen said. "Her contribution to this team is huge. With hercalling the shots, I like our chances." "If s a real good group of young women," Gilmore said. "Goodteams are teams that gel and form together â€” they have that potential." Western's next home games will be April 11-12, Easter weekend, when they host UW and club teams Greenlake and LAXON.

The Warthogs will play University of WashingtonSunday at 1 p.m. on Arntzen field with hopes of representing Washington at the play-off tournament inApril. The 'Hogs lost to UW in Seattle in November, but after beating Washington State and OregonState twice each, a win Sunday will send the 'Hogs stampeding on to regionals. "If we do what we didagainst OSU, we'll win," team Treasurer Chris Stansfield said. The Warthogs powered through a stunned Oregon defense Feb. 29 on their way to a 24-17 victory. The win was on the heels of a devastating 53-29 loss to No. 1- ranked Central Washington University just one day before. "I don't know what got into us(against OSU)," Stansfield said. "It just clicked. We played really well as a team. No complaining, nowhining, no bitching â€” just played the game." Team President Mike Hemphill agreed. "We were tryingto prove to ourselves we could (win)," Hemphill said. "We thought we were out after (the loss) to Central." Central Washington University has secured the first-seed spot in the regional tournament with anundefeated season. Hemphill said the 'Hogs focused on working together as a team during the Oregongame, and teamwork is just what Western needs to defeat UW. "They have some big boys," VicePresident Kevin Larson said regarding the Huskies. "We need to concentrate on ... playing smart."Stansfield says he sees the Husky fly-half as one obstacle to overcome for a win. "Their fly-half is theirteam," he said. "He's a damn good player, so we need to shut him down." Western last qualified forregionals in the spring of 1995, when the 'Hogs finished 24th in the nation. Sunday's game is Western'slast league match of the season, but practices will ensue spring quarter, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays andThursdays on Arntzen field, in preparation for a line-up of spring tournaments.

By Jenni Long TheWestern Front "Awesome; we kick butt," said Nate Byrd, Western lacrosse midfielder, about hisundefeated team this year. After running for the Western track team for two years, one of Byrd'sfriends, Tony Esser, head coach, introduced Byrd to lacrosse. Like many of the players on the lacrosseteam, Byrd has a nickname. "My nickname was 'Wheels' because when I was a new guy, people said Iwas fast," he said. Lacrosse is a "hybrid of a whole bunch of sports," Byrd said. "It's like basketball inthe way you set up offenses; it's like soccer in the fact that you run a lot; it's like hockey in that you canset up offenses behind the cage. I think, the biggest thing people think is weird is that we're hittingeach other with sticks," Byrd said. "We are not just free swinging," he said. The technical rule is thatthe'"hitter" has to be on defense, and the person he is swinging at must have the ball. "You have to beswinging for the stick, and (the swinger's stick) has to hit either the stick or a gloved arm," Byrd said."You can't hit him (the offensive player) in the back â€” obviously." "I like playing for Western because we have a really good team concept going on," Byrd said. "We have really good camaraderie." Lacrosse isa game that prides itself on good sportsmanship. After every game, home or away, the players party with each other. "It's kind of weird because we beat the hell out of each other for four quarters, men you goparty with (the opposing team)," Byrd said. "It's just fun â€” I'm going to practice right now and I'mpumped," Byrd said. "I like going to practice." Byrd noted that much of the team's success this year can be credited to first-year Coach Esser. "For one thing, he started getting us in shape in January," Byrdsaid. "For not having the reigns of a leader before, he has come on and done a really good job," Byrdsaid. "He's the main reason we're 6-0." Byrd is a senior management major who will graduate in the fall.Even after he graduates, Byrd plans to play lacrosse on a men's team. "I am basically kind of new to thesport really," Byrd said. "Rookies always have the responsibility of putting up the net," Byrd said."Rookies usually get picked on. Everyone has been a rookie." "We do what's called stick races; you getthree guys from our team and three guys from (the opposing team) and put the stick to their foreheadand the other end to the ground and spin 10 times and run down and back," Byrd said. "That's just ablast to do, but you make the rookies do it. You don't make the veterans do it. They don't have achoice." Winning the championship three years ago was the best memory in Byrd's lacrosse career.Even though he wasn't playing in the game, he said it was incredible because it was so close â€” a one-goal game. "It was â€” oh score!" The Vikings play at Lewis and Clark at 1 p.m. Saturday and at Linfieldnoon Sunday. Heartbreaker ends Vikings' year Central wins nail-biter; ruins Western's hope for Nationals By Jed Palevich The Western Front With two previous meetings this season against preseasonfavorite and defending Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference champion Central Washington University, the Western men's basketball team knew what it was up against. Central used all the advantages that itshome court offered: a deafening crowd and a winning streak in potentially season-ending games thathad reached an astounding 37 contests. With all these elements against them, Western came uponly four points short, 88-84, in its bid to represent the PNWAC at the national tournament in Tulsa,Okla., March 17to23! â€¢ -;\.;;;-; . ' . .v- From the opening tip, the game was shaping up to be a back-and-forth contest, with the last team to have the ball winning the game. Western took a seven-point lead,14-7, with just over five minutes gone. Central went on a 10-2 run in the next three minutes to take thelead, 17-16. Central would not relinquish the lead., â€ž That 10-point run by Central was fueled by fourturnovers by Western, three in its own back court.'Another big, key to Central's early success was thefoul trouble that Western's three;HgnTen gpt into. Senior forward; J2ari^lt;^rtaricLjunior centersK^^torjilh^ ?M0tt each picked up three^pefsbhaT fouls1 early in the first half. \ - "Thafs usually whathappened with the officials this year/' Mott said.

"We said we needed to try and do the best we could on defense withoutfouling,'- Head Coach Brad Jackson said; As Central went to the line with fouls, it increased its lead to an eight-point margin in just four minutes, 26-18, Over the next several minutes both teams kept scoring but neither team coulH string any baskets together, resulting in a score of 36-27. Guard Jim Mattlerreiterated the problems Western had getting into deep foul trouble. "Before the game, we talked aboutavoiding the foul stir "Lesser teams :;. could have given up a long time ago, I'm proud of our players;they hatye nothing to ^ahg their heads SSI about." Brad Jackson Western coach uation," Mattler said. "In previous games, (Central) had done the same thing, shot a lot of free throws, and we hadn't." Athalftime, Central lead by six, 41-35. "During halftime, wctalked about being patient, working the ballaround and trying to stop their offense," Mott said. With the three big men on the bench, Western washampered and had to turn to Mattler, who subbed superbly for the foul-stricken front men. Mattler had10 points in the opening half. Junior forward Todd Engblom-Stryker paced, the Vikings with sevenrebounds and eight points. "It's pretty tough," Mattler said. "It's hard playing these guys where you can'thelp down [underneath the basket] because of their three-point shooters." Central went low in the second half to Leon Johnson, the PNWAC player Of the year. In the first three minutes of the secondhalf/Johnson scored eight.points to add to his six in the first frame. When Western helped low onJohnson, guards Simon Dubiel and Grady Fallon hit huge three-pointers. In that three minutes Of theLeon Johnson show, the Wildcat lead jumped to 12 points. Yet Western didn't give up. "Lesser teams,given some of the things that happened during the course of the game and season, with injuries, .guysbeing sick and losing some games, could have given up a long time ago," Jackson said. "I'm proud of our players; they have nothingio hang.their heads about." After suffering the wrath of Leon, Western settleddown and started to play. 4 Pan Befiord pidcedaip his four^ foul and ?'.,â€¢ had to sit down.

Slade "Call me Custer" Gorton is up to his usual tricks once again â€” launching yet anotheroffensive in his nearly 25-year-old war against Native Americans. The Senate Committee on Indian Affairsbegan hearings yesterday on Gorton's proposed "American Indian Justice Act," which seeks to recoupwhat the Senator claims is hundreds of millions of dollars in lost state tax revenues through the on-reservation sale of tax-free cigarettes and other products to non-Indians. Gorton's proposed remedy tothis perceived problem is his same old magic-bullet solution to any issue even remotely pertaining toNative Americans â€” strip the tribes of their sovereign immunity so everybody and their brothers can lineup and sue the tribes for all matters great, small or imagined. One thing is for certain, whenever old Scalp 'em Slade is involved â€” the pairing of the words "Indian" and "justice" is sure to be a surreal skewing ofreality to almost Orwellian proportions. Our Fire Marshall Bill look-alike senator holds the all-time recordfor being a poor loser. It's been obvious for many years that he will never get over his 1974 loss asWashington State attorney general in the Boldt Decision, which upheld the treaty rights guaranteeingWashington tribes to half the annual fish harvests. The Boldt Decision came as a result of many tribalgovernments slowly being able to gather enough resources in the 1960s to wage and fight long, costlylegal battles to force the federal government to finally abide by the treaties it signed with the many IndianNations. This slow and partial recognition of tribal personal and property rights caused a backlash amongmany non-Indians who lived on or near reservations or earned their livings from natural resourcespromised all or in part to various tribes by treaty. Gorton shrewdly used his conflicts with the tribes aspolitical capital, allying with and exploiting the problems of non-Indian reservation landholders,commercial fisherman and tideland owners who had benefitted â€” often unknowingly but alsosometimes quite purposefully â€” from* the federal government's negligence of treaty rights. He rode thismovement all the way to the U.S. Senate. While still attorney general, Gorton rebounded with a winbefore the U.S. Supreme Court in 1980, successfully arguing that tribal stores should have to charge state sales tax to non-Indians who make purchases on the reservations. It is this decision that forms the basis â€” or latest excuse â€” for Gorton's current attack on tribal rights. He wants state governments tohave the right to sue tribal governments for this allegedly lost revenue. Various tribal leaders havepublicly stated that the tax disputes, although exaggerated, may be better solved through negotiationrather than confrontation. But the tax dispute is only a smoke screen. The real issue is who willultimately control tribal land, where most of the country's remaining energy resources are. Subjectingtribal governments to volumes of lawsuits is the first step in this struggle. The Indian Affairs Committeewill conduct hearings on the matter on April 7 in Seattle â€” a perfect opportunity to tell the ol' Indianfighter that most of us would like to see the tribes keep the meager amount of land that hasn't been stolen from them. â€” Gene Metrick, Editor The Western Front Editor Gene Metrick; Managing Editor: KristenT.

Teachers reduce students' brains to quivering masses of lime JelloCOMMENTARY The problem with actions such as the teacher's is it tells kids at an exceptionallyinfluential age that their own personal beliefs aren't valid â€” what another has to say is more importantthan the conclusions they draw from their own experiences. Such suppression of free thought alsoteaches kids to look at adults for all the answers and take the word of their elders as fact. Admittedly,adults have lived longer and been through much more, but just because adults believe something, doesn't mean if s right. Adults are susceptible to the same misinformation kids are and can be just asignorant of the truth. Instead of having their ideas and feelings declared invalid and another person's ownconstitution thrust upon them, children should be taught to explore the vast amounts of informationavailable and find their own answers. And his teacher sent him outside But this isn't an ideal world, andto think about his actions and to W c i n t tnSITI tO QTOW ideal occurrences are about as corn-weatherwhat Mother Nature sent . , . â€ž mon as airborne penguins, his way. Up WIIM a CIU6. Practicing anideal is one of the Modern society tells us intelli- most difficult things for humans to gent thought at suchan early age is a commendable engage in, but when something such as mental Hide the women andchildren -r- independent thought has once again been ravaged in our fair state. But don't hide for long,because the moral high ground in Puyallup is dealing with the situation. Or so we think. Puyallup, along-time haven of perpetuated naivete, has once again shown the public what can happen when oneperson has his mind made up for rum. Jim Bobrik, a 13-year-old Jehovah's Witness, was booted fromclass recently for not giving the United States its proverbial salute and pledging allegiance to its flag. Heclaimed he'll pledge allegiance to his God but not to a flag. "Teaching kids to think for themselves isessential if we and desirable thing and should be rewarded. Most adults have a hard time showingindividuality and sensibility, so a child demonstrating these admirable attributes should be a welcomesight. Of course, stupidity such as this would be incomplete without illegality. In Tinker v. Des MoinesSchool District, the country's highest court concluded students' rights are important. According to thetext "Mass Media Law,"The United States Supreme Court ruled that students in public schools don'tshed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the school-house gate." The boydidn't disrupt his class. All he did was politely hold to his own beliefs while respectfully letting the othersin his class hold to theirs. Instead of praising the boy, however, the teacher shot down the concept ofteaching kids how to think for themselves, informed the boy of his supposed wronghess and showed himthe door. enlightenment is at stake, the earlier it happens in life, the better. Teaching kids to think forthemselves is essential if we want them to grow up with a clue. To stop their creative juices from flowingat an early age would leave their minds with the texture and brainpower of lime-green Jello. Ultimately, ifs the children's lives that are going to be lived. To have put a maximum on how far their minds can gowould be a waste of potential. To put a leash on a growing and expanding intelligence would be likelimiting a chef to only salt and pepper â€” the chef can do the basics but cannot perform leaps ofculinary genius. To tell a kid he or she can only go so far would be a terrible crime that would keep thebiggest triumphs of life from happening. Parents may raise their children and teachers may give themknowledge, but no one has any right to put a limit on a child's mental growth. ---------- Western Front - 1998 March 13 - Page 19 ---------- March 13. 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT,* 19 1 etters To the Editor: This letter is inresponse to Joshua Gabelein's letter in the March 6 issue of The Western Front. We believe that his"disgust" about the Power of Consciousness seminar held March 5 came from a lack of education, factsand compassion. It is unfortunate that he made assumptions about the presentation, because hisscenario was largely incorrect. The seminar did not focus on an "irrational feminist movement" and no"inflated statistics" were used â€” they were not needed. Joshua's illiteracy concerning this rape issuejust goes to show that Western does need more events such as "Rape: The Power of Consciousness."His is a pathetic reaction to a positive event that should take place regularly on Western's campus.Contrary to popular misconception, feminism is a real-world, human-rights social issue. Using the term"feminist" to degrade the very serious subject of rape awareness is nothing more than a classic attemptto silence an issue that affects us all. He says he is disgusted with the "flawed and irrational feministmovement," we say, "Good!" Now he knows how disgusted women have been with the male-dominatedsociety they have been forced to live in for the past hundred years. Keep in mind that his attempt topersuade people to believe that the feminist movement is manipulative is in fact manipulative itself. The feminist movement is about equality, and his letter is one more example of a male who is comfortablein his dominating world and is resistant to; change. We hope Joshua attended the presentation so thathis myths surrounding rape and rape awareness could have been dispelled. Joshua is part of the issuewhether he chooses to acknowledge it or not. It is up to him to decide if he will be part of the solution.The Women and Men of Women's Studies 211 WHEN YOU RIDE DRUNK. ONE MORE FOR THEROAD CAN HAVE ANENTIREUT DIFFERENTMEANING.

ASKS . . . I spend quite a bit of time in the Coffee Shop. I like to appear intellectualwhile sipping SAGA ambrosia . . . I like to appear sociable . . . I would like to sit down, just once, in a dry chair and rest my elbow on a reasonably clean table. As it turns out, I normally rest my rear in a putridpuddle of Coke while my elbow is enhanced by a thin layer of lemon pie filling and cigarette ashes.SAGA's fault? Nope. Because they have a sign (or two) up saying, "Bus your own dishes." Even so, Ihave observed Coffee Shop employees cleaning off tables. But they pay no attention, the slime lovers. (Ispeak of no particular group, e.g. freshmen, upperclassmen, new students or what have you.) Go aheadand live in your squalor . . . you probably live like this at home anyway and probably will for the rest ofyour life. The rest of us will undoubtedly bear with you. Frosty Billingsley John Birch is after us, or if heisn't he soon will be! Everyone makes mistakes, and we may be able to forgive the absence of theNational Anthem at one game, but how can the students, alumni, and citizens of Bellingham condonesuch action (or lack of it) at two games in a row ? The last time this subject was brought to the attentionof the college, several excuses were offered by those responsible for the pre-game activities. One excuse was that the game started so soon that there was no time to squeeze in our song of patriotism. Thisexcuse cannot, however, be accepted for Saturday's game. Another excuse was that the commentatorfailed to announce the song and to ask the audience to rise. Does this song need an introduction? Itwould seem that rising at the beginning strains of this tune would be second nature to American citizens. The absence of "The Star Spangled Banner" was not only noted by the Collegian staff, but WallyLindsley, Bellingham Herald sports editor, made reference to "Western's Sitting Band" and no NationalAnthem, in his Sunday morning column. It is evident that action must be taken, and quickly, before Mr.Khrushchev sends us a letter welcoming us to the fold. In line with this topic, we must again bring up asubject discussed earlier this quarter . . . that half-time entertainment. Saluting the 1921 football teamwas a fine tribute, and well in order at our Homecoming game, but any junior high school group couldhave formed "1921" on the field. Where was the rest of the entertainment â€” the other 10 minutes worth?May we suggest that if the college cannot afford the time required to put on a "college-calibre" half-time show, that there are seven high schools and numerous junior high schools that would undoubtedly bewilling to do so for us. Margaret Ashburn "Have Our Teachers Colleges Failed?" an article in theNovember 11 edition of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST has caused considerable comment andcontroversy on and off campus. The article does a pretty thorough job of cutting down the teachercollege, but at the same time refers to Western in a complimentary way. Because of the pertinence ofthe article to our school, the Collegian will run in our next issue some articles pertaining to the story and Western's relationship to it, one of which will be written by an education professor. LETTERS. . .Dear Editor: Do our "lounging lovers" really have any other choice? Isn t it true that in order to protect the immature (i.e. underripe, underdevelopedâ€”ha!) irom that sinful thing called sex, our school finds itnecessary to place a ban on all but platonic male-female relationships ("under no conditions are women(immature of course) permitted in (male) students rooms" â€” courtesy of Dean Mac). Being driven bothfrom home and the campus we can always retreat to our bed on wheels â€” the car. But just assumeone poor fool lost his parking sticker and therefore the privilege of parking (theoretically) within a six-anile radius oi' our school. Would not the bitter cold and rain be too much for our (theoretically) mature andsophisticated Collegian staff? So hurrah for candle light romance and those who have the means andto hell with those who are so immature as to seek those means. Yours truly, Ty Tillson P.S. It is veryclever of you to offer a school sponsored sex orgy in which "risque and promiscuity prevail" â€” thisautomatically satisfies our every desire, doesn't it? Defense of Higginson To Whom It May Concern: Ifeel something should be said in defense of both Gus's and Higginson Hall. Financially Higginson isn't inas good shape as the older more established halls are. They have many large initial purchases tomake. This fact should be taken into strong consideration. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIANNovember 17, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 November 17 - Page 3 ---------- Gus gets all his business from the campus. It was out of the kindness of his heart that he offered to help Higginson just as he has helped many college functions and supported college students before. Gushas really carried our banner for us many times and why shouldn't he, we support him. When Gusoffered Higginson Hall money to help with their house display he had no idea that gratitude would beslapped in his face. Poor, and I literally mean "poor" Higginson Hall had money offered to them (muchneeded money) with the condition that they simply make a signâ€” "Eat at Gus's". There is nothingwrong at all in Higginson's acceptance of his donation and I personally thank Gus for being so generousin the offering of $25.00. Heather McKenzie Edens Hall Resident FOREIGN FILMS The ExtensionService will present the second in its series of Foreign Film Classics at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in theauditorium. The film this week is the Russian "Ballet of Romeo and Juliet", the dynamic and beautifulballet by Sergei Prokofiev, based on the play by Shakespeare. The second feature is a short French film titled "Disorder." It is an attempt to portray on film the restlessness and confusion of the youth on Paris' Left Bank. It is told in impressionist termsâ€” there is no continunity or story line. There are scenes ofBohemian night clubs, poetry readings, and scenes from an Existentialist play. TWO CONTRASTINGVOICES PACIFISM . . . Western Washington C O L L E G I A N Vol. LIV, No. 8 A WeeklyNewsmagazine Western Washington State College Bellingham, Washington Second-class postage paid at Bellingham, Washington Printed at Pioneer Printing Co., Bellingham Karen Bainter Editoi MargaretAshburn Assistant Editor Frosty Billingsley Feature Editor Nigel Adams Sports Editor Judy BormanNews Editor Dave Benseler Business Manager Arden Munkres Photographei James Mulligan AdvisorReporters: Janice Therkelsen, Darlene Tucker, Penny Van Slyke, Carolyn Newton, Ed Caul-kins, RicStephens, Bill Potter, Roger Libby, Hardev Shergill, Mike Martin, Bob Galford, Bob Pike, Pat King, DonMiller, William Burke, David Colburn, Louise Wasson, Gerri Nye, Pat Bosserman, Kathy Therrien, JoelWoodman, Dave Tremaine, Nancy Matson, Pete Napper, and Reg Dunbar. November 17, 1961 by MarkNelson According to Funk and Wagnalls New College Standard Dictionary, a pacifist is "One whoopposes military ideals, war, or military preparedness, and proposes that all international disputes besettled by arbitration.'' Those who believe in this concept are overlooking an inherent inconsistency i.e.,that man cannot live as man without expressing his moral rights. These rights are inherent, and if theexpression of these rights are sacra-ficed as a result of a belief in pacifism, then man has degeneratedinto a mere beast. One who is a pacifist would allow the society in which he lives to su-press theexpression of his moral rights without opposition, in order to avoid forceful conflict. If an individualbelieves in a spiritual quality in man, i. e., those qualities above governments and society, then he mustalso believe that to oppose any concept that would deny him of these moral rights is only part of being arational human being. To allow the growth of an anti-spiritual and evil concept, such as Communism,without opposing it, is to reject the responsibility of acting as a human being. The belief that ideologicalconflicts can be settled by negotiations has proved to be erroneous, not only by Neville Chamber-linwho attempted to appease and negotiate with Hitler, but also by the many attempts of the U.S. tonegotiate with the Communists. I personally oppose war and military ideals, but I also have a strong conviction that the best way to maintain peace, world security, and to ensure freedom of mydescendants is to stand firm against Communism or any other type of tyranny. To arbitrate withanother country and attempt to reach a peaceful settlement with that country is the best method ofmaintaining peace, but only if that country is trustworthy. I don't believe any rational person wishes tokill another man, but to defend your individual liberties is a right of all people. Not to appose that whichwould take away the expression of moral rights in man would be to allow a tyrannical force tocompletely subdue your freedom of individuality. This is not, in my opinion, the solution to anyinternational or personal dispute. WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN by Bill Burke Why I am apacifist. I base my belief on a fact that is too often forgotten when we attempt to face our present worldsituation. With the development and possession of chemical and nuclear armaments by the majorpowers, a world warâ€” or even a local warâ€” could mean the total destruction of human lifeâ€”nay, alllifeâ€”on earth. Therefore, it must be realized that war has become obsolete as a method of solvingconflicts between countries. But, seemingly oblivious to this boldly evident fact, nations rush toconstruct more powerful nuclear weapons. It is claimed by each major power that the only way tomaintain peace is to have such a great deterrent to war that the enemy will dare not make anaggressive move. But suppose that through some error, an "aggressive" bomb was dropped. The onlything for the recipient to do would be to retaliate with another bomb. And so on . . . thoughts of the result aren't pleasing. The world situation today is based on fear. We fear the effect of nuclear power, so wepretend it doesn't exist (or at least we minimize its dangers.) We are afraid of the Communists,(who are just as afraid of us) so we construct ineffectual defenses and sucidial "deterrents.' It is onlywhen we face up to the fact of the self destruction we are surely headed for, that we will be able toresolve a world peace. I believe that we must aim for nuclear disarmament first and foremost. Butall attempts to disarm end in failureâ€”mainly because each country is afraid to drop her "defenses."One country, then, must disarm with the conviction that she can accomplish her ends without violence. This is an act of courage, not of fear. Non-violence is not an immediate answer, and it is not easy. Butthe only other path is toward total destruction. As an individual, I will protest any movement that ispacifistic. Because I believe in a spiritual quality in man, I will not compromise or negotiate with anyconcept entirely devoted to the destruction of the expression of my moral rights. Page 3 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 November 17 - Page 4 ---------- GROWTH AND CHANGE Western's new Library additions By William H. 0. Scott Circulation LibrarianGround was broken October 31 for Western's new library additions, when a bulldozer uprooted the largesycamore tree east of the present book stacks. The $950,000 construction job will provide a new andremodeled library with room for over 200,000 volumes and seats for more than 800 readers. Thearchitect's drawing on display in the Library shows the two five^story wings to be added on the southside of the building. One wing extends east from the old book stacks, and one west from well-knownto last year's students, but unfamiliar to the Freshmen class. Alterations taking place behind the wallinclude removing the pair of double columns at the south end of the hallway and adding a set of doors tocreate a vestibule at the north end. The graduate reading room (southwest corner) and adjoining ihalland office will combine into a large area containing the Card Catalog, Loan Desk.and Circulation Office.The former periodical reading room (northeast corner) becomes the new Reference Room, containing alarge typing room and two smaller The Library as it will look in the future the small room at the foot of the stairway may be moved to the second floor lobby or reading room. Because this will doublyinconvenience both index searchers and other readers, the shift will be postponed as long as possible. As construction proceeds and space becomes available, other changes, both temporary andpermanent, will occur. Permanent changes include shifting the reference collection, now shelved alongthe south wall of the second floor reading room, to book stacks at one end of the new ReferenceRoom. The periodical collection will expand into the upper levels of the present book stacks, and will beopened up to direct access. The latest issues of periodicals will again be on open shelves, along with the various indexes. Unbound periodicals will remain on closed shelves and will be available on request at the Periodical Desk. A separate Microfilm Room within the Periodical Room will have space forseveral kinds of microprint reading machines and film cabinets. A sidewalk along the north side of thewest wing-leads from High Street to the night entrance to the Reserve Book Room, making possible itsuse after the rest of the Library closes, shou'd demand warrant such service. A protective shelter willbe added outside the south entrance to reduce wind hazards. RISING LIBRARY The song of progressthe Librarian's office. The exterior brickwork alternates with continuous columns of colored windows toharmonize with the architectural features of the old Library and the adjacent new ScienceBuilding. The basement of the new west wing contains newspaper and document stacks, shipping and receiving room, and mendery workspace. The ground floor provides administrative offices and a technical processes work room. The east wing basement houses the classrooms and offices of the department of Library Science, and the ground level contains the new Periodical Reading Room. The top three floors of each new wing are designed as stack levels, containing book shelves, carrels for individual readers,study tables, several typing rooms, and four seminar rooms. A tall dustproof partition looms inside thesouth entrance, blocking access to the major part of the old building's first floor areaâ€”a section group study roms. Moving the children's library collection last summer to the Campus School made spaceavailable (northwest corner) for a new Reserve Book Room and a small central Bibliography Room.Corridors providing access to the new wings from the old building replace the existing east and weststairways, while each new wing includes an elevator and a stairway. The Card Catalog and Loan Deskarea on the second floor will be used as a Browsing and Display Room, and the present offices will house archival materials and the Treasure Room collection. Several temporary changes in library operations are already in effect, such as the transfer of Reserve books to the basement museum display area ofHaggard Hall, the shift of current newspapers to the Main Reading Room, and the transfer of currentperiodicals to closed shelves. Indexing services now available in By Bill Burke The pile driver rhythmsection on our campus was joined recently by an entire chorus of workmen, trucks, bulldozers, and asmall jackham-mer took an ad lib soloâ€”and back we are to the same old song. Indeed, "Progress is acomfortable disease." Questions are being asked: "Why not spend the $950,000 on bringing the books,up to date?" or, "What about better periodical service?" In an interview with Herbert R. Hear-sey,reference librarian, I posed these questions. And in the library's defense, he pointed out these facts;Actually, how many books need to be "up to date?" A volume of Shakespeare's plays needn't be aI960 edition to be usable. True; many fields require the lastest books. But Joe Student, angry,because he can't find Ginsberg's "Howl" or the latest "Appendectomy Report," should rememberthat the library has to supply books for all the departments and all Page 4 WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN November 17, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 November 17 - Page 5 ---------- the fields of interest on campus. It's no small task. And periodicals? Joe Student wants a particularjournal. And why doesn't the library have it? He should think of the cost of setting up a collection ofthose journals, binding, cataloging, and all the mechanics behind periodicol service. Few students areaware of the many problems involved in operating a library. For example: the cost of keeping thelibrary open until 10 p. m. for the few people who use it that late; or perhaps the fact that, in the readingroom, half the people shout, "Open the windows!" while the other half whine, "But I'm freezing to death!"We might also consider the fact that our sudden population explosion caught everyone unprepared.But things are looking up. With the new addition we will be able to get at what we have, and it's quitepossible that we'll find it's not as insufficient as we thought. PLACEMENT Placement of seniors israpidly becoming a year-round activity at Western. There has bee a notable increase in placementactivity during summer and fall quarters. The total number of registrants served, 617, was up 20 per centfrom last year. There has been an increasng demand for women teachers. However, for the first time in a number of years, the number of inexperienced women placed in teaching pos:- tions exceeds the number of men. According to enrollment studies conducted by the Registrar, this trend should continue. The Placement Office also has increased its services to Arts and Science graduates. The number ofplacements oi Arts and Science graduates was up nearly one-half from the previous year. Also,placement in private industry was nearly doubled. Many Arts and Science graduates are uncertain asto their vocatonal pursuits. These seniors should register with the Placement Office. According to areport by the Placement Office, the largest areas of tea-ccher shortage include: kindergarten, grades1-3, secondary languages, arts, home economics, foreign language, girls' PJE., physical science, library (elementary and secondary) and special education. Grades 4-6, 7-8, junior high core, secondary math, and psychological services also are high on the list of requests. Some requests have been received forelementary music and secondary business education, but there are few applicants. Those who plan to teach secondary November 17, 1961 boys P.E. or secondary social studies will find the going prettyrough, as the applicants far exceed the requests. The single area of the greatest demand is secondary language arts, as there were 204 requests in just the state of Washington. Grades 4-6 and 2-3accounted for 196 and 151 requests, while special education was in need of 104 applicants. During1961-1962, 363 inexperienced applicants were placed in teaching position. Of the 363 now teaching, 319 are employed in Washington schools, 27 in California and 10 in Oregon, with the rest spread out fromAlaska to Kansas. Of the 319 in Wash., 76 are teaching in King County, 43 in Snohomish, 42 inWhatcom, 27 in Skagit, and 24 in Pierce County. by Ric Stephens Webster defines improvisation as"the act or art of composing and rendering music, poetry and the l:ke, extemporaneously." Drama isn'tmentioned in Webster's definition, but "improv" (theatrical colloquium) is a word that you might hearoften if you associate with people in drama. In the last few years several small groups have been doingtheatrical improvisations in public performances where people in the audience supply the theme or plot idea and the actors supply the dialogue and action as they go. Last Thursday at the "Studio TheatreWorkshop", you would have found several people doing an improvisation although they had more towork with than just a theme or plot idea. The group was working with an original chamber play writtenby a "Western" student, Brent Remmert. The name of the play is "Close Enough To Know" and hassuch characters as an android, a raven and a young girl in a blue night gown. The play was runthrough several times and then some "improvs" were done using Mr. Remmerts play theme. A situationlike this provides a unique laboratory opportunity for a playwright to see his material staged and mayprovide him with new ideas and improvements for his script. This situation also gives the actor anopportunity to practice his art and use original material with characters that he has no pre-conceivedideas about that could lead him to an erroneous WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN interpretationor one that is only a copy of another performance. This program has created a great deal of interest inplay writing. Several students are working now on old scripts that have been gathering dust, others are working on new ones. One person is working on a satirical play based on the John Birch Society andthere are more which should provide some very interesting "theatre". Any script that is brought to the"Workshop" meetings on Thursdays at 4 p.m. will be tried and any other ideas to add or improve theprogram will be welcomed. The one really sad aspect of the workshop is that more people haven't takenadvantage of it. REGISTRATION Registration for winter quarter will open Nov. 27. For the first time, theprocess of pre-registration and registration will be combined this fall.

Gordon Mills, vice president, felt that the Homecoming skitsand preparations were a great success and much more enthusiasm was received than expected. Onecomment: lockers for the students were suggested through out this school term but nothing wasdefinitely carried out. There was a definite turn towards the positiveâ€”no lockers for the students tostore their valuables or books. Many of the legislators felt that if the students wanted to prevent theirvaluables from being stolen they could use the lockers over in Haggard Hall. (At present there are 168lockers empty and awaiting use) and some of the Legislature members took the stand that if the student wanted to store his books while getting a cup of Java he could darn well walk over to Haggard Hall, andback, and back. The fact was brought up time and again that lockers (in the Viking Union) would besoon self-supporting with a small amount of luck. Other matters of importance were tabled for the nextLegislature meeting in order to gain additional information on the subject. BILLINGT0H Speaker onTurner Last Monday, Dr. Ray A. Billington of Northwestern University's history department spoke on"Frederick Jackson Turner: The Man and the Myth." Present to hear him were history professorsand majors from Western Washington State College. Frederick Jackson Turner has been consideredone oi the top two American historians to ever live despite the scarcity of his published works. Dr.Billington is one. of three his- S Montgomery Ward \ â€¢â€¢ ! in our \ 1 and Order Sheets which are inJ ' the main lounges of the Student \ | Union and all Dormitories , '.

Dr. Billingtonexplained how many of Turner's views have been misinterpreted. Most of Turner's critics have read only one of Turner's essays and have criticized him because it indicates that he believes that the tfontier is the only cause for America's stable government and populace. However, according to Billington, other Turner papers indicate that he believed in the multiple-causation theory for America. Turner's greatacclaim as a historian has come primarily from his students. He was a man who inspired great loveand devotion from his students to whom he was devoted in return. This devotion was so great thatwhen the Huntington Laboratories wanted to collect Turner's papers, the students would not let themgo because they meant so much to them. Billington's talk did much to clarify the image of the greathistorian and teacher, Frederick Jackson Turner. ORESTES "Extremes of emotion . . ." by NancyWatson "Losing my many inhibitions is difficult tor me to do," Duskin Hazel confessed when discussinghis role as Orestes in the Greek melodrama to be presented Nov. 30, Dec. 1 and 2 in Western'sauditorium. He explained why the gt;play would be a challenge for his acting ability andinhibitionâ€” "it has many extremes of emotion ranging from a "scene of madness" to what could becalled a love scene between my sister and me." This 21-year old Seattle born junior lives in Bellevue.After moving to Louisville, Ky., and then returning to Seattle, he graduated from Bellevue high school.Before coming to Western he attended the University of Washington where he belonged to Pi KappaAlpha fraternity. His ma-^ jor is English literature, his minors^ foreign language and sociologyuKFiirS ture plans include travel, graduate study, and eventually teaching on a college level. When asked for othervital statistics, Duskin added that he was 5 feet, 11 inches tall, weighed 160 pounds, had brown eyes,black hair, but clarified "I'm Norwegian, not Greek." Because he is not the Nordic image physically, hefits well into the role of the Greek in the Euripides' play; of course his acting ability justifies amply hisselection. November 17, 1961 Although Duskin claims his experience is somewhat limited becausehe has never taken a drama class, he did have bit parts in two plays, "Skin of Our Teeth," and "Beggar'sOpera," and the lead in a one act, "Shadow in the Glen" last year. The interview concluded with a turnfrom Duskin, himself, to a discussion of "Orestes", which the cast practices Sunday through Thursday evenings from 7 to 10 in the Old Main lecture hall. Duskin warned, "I've never shot a bow and arrowbefore, but I have to do so in the playâ€”so audience duck!'' He added, Duskin Hazel, Linda KonradScene from "Orestes" "Having seen sketches of my costume, what there is of it, I'd better wear verywarm woolen undies." On a more serious note, Duskin said, "I hope the audience will enjoy "Orestes"for its historical value as well as the story itself. The play was written about 400 B.C. and Americanaudiences haven't had much opportunity to see these plays produced." Duskin Hazel's co-star ispetite, blond Linda Konrad. Ted Fierito, John Engholm, Lee Scrmigeour, Orest Kruhlak, Joel Woodman,Judy Riese, Pat Logan, Berenice Stenman, and Gudmund Utheim complete the cast. Ralph Garter,director, assured "that - t h e student body should come not to ?be awed, but to be entertained," by theGreek melodrama, "Orestes". MAGNUS0N SPEAKS A plain talking father-image type, U.S. SenatorWarren G. Magnuson spoke to a large crowd of Western students in the VU main lounge the afternoonof November 7. Presented by the Young Democrats Club, Magnuson spoke for about 15 minutes, then answered asssort- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAI ed questions and met and talked with thestudents and faculty at a short reception which followed. "The international situation seemed to stick itsfinger into everything we were trying to do," Magnuson stated when talking of the past session ofCongress. He discussed various vital issues concerning our country today, such as foreign aid, theCommunist threat and medical care for the aged. He expressed a somewhat optimistic air whilespeaking. Medical care for the aged is the issue which has top priority with him. "This is the most crying need in the field of social legislation we have now," Magnuson said, then discussed the barriers which must be mounted before the bill would past. In his discussion of foreign aid Magnuson stated, "The only thing we can do is continue with the foreign aid program to the best we can in a topsy turvy world. I'd be the last to say that it always works . . . There are sayings going around in Washington . . . Some saythey'd rather be dead than Red, some say they'd rather be Red than dead, but I think with a littleintelligence and firmness we can be neither red nor dead."

The shotgun, withits myriad of eligible receivers, crossed up the Western secondary twice. On both occasions an endbroke into the clear and Jerry Hoxey, UPS quarterback, made no mistake completing passes oftwenty-seven and forty-three yards. Both converts were successful which proved to be the i'atal touch.Page WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Vikings on the run . . . Western went razzle-dazzle in the second quarter with a fake double reverse ending in a perfectly thrown pass from Doug Ringenbach toend Gary Moore who was all alone on the UPS five yard line and scored standing up. Ron Roe's convertattempt was wide, ending the scoring for the day at 14-6. The third quarter had its moment for thelarge Homecoming crowd with a 4th down and goal to go situation on the Loggers' three yard line.Ringenbach's roll out pass to a diving Bob Plotts fell incomplete and Western was not to threaten again. Ken Fry was outstanding in gaining 114 yards, consistently outsmarting the UPS defense with adeceptive change of pace and a good straightahead power. Ron Ladines balanced the backfield attack with a strong performance at flanker back. The center of the defensive line November 17, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 November 17 - Page 9 ---------- of Western, led by Gary Fumano, Matt Kjelstad and Harry Leons, did a good job in containing theLoggers' ground attack.

They'll be playing the PortlandState Vikings so someone should be cracking the funny that the Vikings won't lose. Actually little isknown about Portland State, except that they were able to score 19 points against Lin-field whilelosing. They are said to have a real good quarterback and a potential Little Ail-American. Western willlose the service of Neil Sherbakoff for the iinal game as x-rays earlier in the week pointed out that whatwas considered to be a hip pointer is now a cracked verta-brate. So with the loss of Sherbakoff from theline and the earlier loss of Jerry Johansen in the season Western footballers can say with pride thatthey were in tremendous shape. A real tribute to those tough Louns-berry drills. It is really hard to give aprediction on this one but I'll take Western simply because I don't think the fellas want to spendanother quiet weekend like the last one. Besides it's about time the Big Blue hit the Victory trail.(Western 20â€” Portland State 14). By the way it is their homecoming weekend down there. This willmake the fourth homecoming game Western will play in this season. If they win this weekend it willmake a pretty good record for homecoming wins. But . . . another paradox.

Regardless of the outcome this one will go down as one ofthe biggest success's ever. In the opinion of this editor the student body completed one of the hardestthings ever . . . and that was an unhearalded and unknown school spirit. In fact it was so successful thatit became a little humorous at times. â€¢ The crowd sat counting off the final seconds in what was tributeto a good solid Western team that won the ballgame on all but two plays. And now Lon Stamper, ofCentral, I will comment on a good ballgame; two good teams but with the statistics not lying like the timeI was supposed to have slammed the winners in the loss to Central. UPS was a fine ball team and ofcourse the unhearalded winner. The antics of Coach John Heinrick's men were the surprise upsets of theday. The shotgun offense was more than UPS was to show to the crowd and Western but two beautifullong passes into a paradox of a defense was all that counted in this 51st meeting of UPS and Western.After breaking a school record for pass interceptions the Western pass defense let UPS complete sixpasses and two of these for the game winning points. The Western attack moved fast through the air tocomplete its only scoring attempt. Then as the time for a chance at victory slipped by, they becamedesperate in their attempts to move for a needed two touchdowns. Remember only the good pointsabout this game and they were; tremendous running by Ken Fry and Ron Ladines, fine field general workof Doug Ringenbach, good line play from end to end led by Gary Fumano, Harry Leons and Bob Plotts,and finally the big hands of Gary Moore dragging in a pass off of a tremendous razzle-dazzle doublereverse pass play which found Moore waiting in the end zone drinking coffee in Western's only scoringmove of the day. Think back about seeing all the Big W blanket winners of 1931 and back shielding the1921 Vikings and the immortal Sam Carver at half time. Remember the greatest yelling you ever did andhoped that all will come true so that you will come back to enjoy it in 1982. Don't die on tilie vine.Continue the great support all through the winter. This week of course Western goes to Portland to windup it's most successful season in two years. By the way both teams are named Vikings so nobodyloses. But just between you and me I'll take the Vikings i'rom Western. (Western 28â€”Portland State6) On last week's prediction all of the numbers were there but as far as the bookies are concerned, I hitthe jackpot. Adios Que le vaya bien.

Figure that one out if you will! As the nasty knight, Nigel boosted Western'sspirit as even his namesake brew could never do. The daily Coffee Shop tourneys will be remembered as Homecoming highlights. The Loggers began their raids on Ye Olde Coffee Shoppee by hula 'hooping itup with the boys from Highland Hall. It looked as though the knight would be defeated by the swivel-hipped Highlanders, but "Sweet Leilani Logger" managed to wiggle out of a tight spot and won thematch. On Tuesday the smog ridden Coffee Shop air was tense with excitement as theHomecoming marble championship began. The Black Knight and his talented green thumb were toomuch for Russ Carl-sen and his pearly pushing peasants. Spurred on by his victory, Lucky tried toenlist some "yellow bellied bystanders" in a jump rope but oould find no takers. At ye olde pie eatingorgy he out-devored both Bachelors Club and Skolman Club, and mounted on his trusty tricycle, theBlack Knight defeated all challengers in the Homecoming jousting tourney. But finally the lustyLogger carried his mischevious merry making too far. He enraged the Vikings by purloining away theirfair Queen Sig-rid from the Queen's Reception and holding her captive in his castle to the South.Throughout the week Lucky Logger ravenged the campus, distressing various damsels bybombarding them with raw eggs, shaving cream and loaded garden hoses. The Vikings' honor was atstake and they rose bravely to the occasion. When Lucky Logger invaded skit night seeking theescaped queen, he was ambushed by Vic Valliant and his mighty men and swept away to the balcony.There he was hung from the railing for his acts of treason against the king. And now all is peaceful in the fair kingdom of Western-on-Sehome.

Lastweek was also hectic for the Union Board as they rushed to complete the "Queen's Float" whichappeared in the Homecoming Parade and at the game. This was the first year that the royal court hasridden on a float in the parade and we hope the Union Board has set a precedent oi excellence whichwill be followed in the Homecoming celebrations yet to come.

Darryl Zentner, on behalf of the Viking UnionBoard, wishes to publicly congratulate all Homecoming chairmen for a job well done. This year'sHomecoming was one of the most successful and spirited celebrations Western has experienced.Darryl also would appreciate talking to anyone interested in participating in student government as amember of the Union Board.

RIOTS AT HIGGINSON by Pat King As it is commonly known, Higginson Hallhas been the locale lately for certain riotous events instigated by various males about the campus. Bysuggestion of a certain student connected with Homecoming, John Sigurdson, president of Highland Hall, organized a first year tradition, that of Highland Hall, complete with guitars and euphonic voices,serenading Queen Sigrid XXIV and her court at their residences one of which included Hig-ginson Hall.This event took place at approximately 10:45 p.m. Wed., Nov. 8. Elveryone had so much fun at this gettogether that it was decided the next night couldn't go by wasted on studying. Soâ€” the Highland HallGang once again took the long treck across the campus which separates Highland from Higginson. Thepurposeâ€” a water fight, complete with water balloons and hoses. Said one girl about this wild war, "I had more fun at that water fight than I've had since school started." One person spoke for many as hesaid while discussing the incident, "This campus is too dead anyway." It certainly wasn't that night.Another memorable incident occurred approximately 1:30 a.m., Monday Nov. 6. As the wind blew thefog a-round the corridors of Higginson Hall, it also began to blow a series of fluid mechanical soundswhich might have been taken from the sound track of a science fiction movie. These sounds were later recognized as "Poem Electronique", a contemporary composition written for the Brussels World'sFair. The girls of Higginson appeared on the balconies showing a variety of emotions prompted byexcitement and fear. The 'music' lasted four minutes. Twenty-five seconds later four patrol carsappeared on the scene finding only balconies full of girls. The street was empty, for the car which wascarrying in its trunk the speaker responsible for the sounds was parked (lights off) in some dark nichehaving its license plates replaced. This last event is not to be connected with Highland Hall.HOMECOMING WINNERS Highview and Higginson win Homecoming 1961 found two house displaystriumphant with a beautiful gold trophy for all their work. The proud winners were from Highview Hall,mens division, and Higginson Hall, womens division. Highview Hall, a t:ew steps north of the VikingUnion, planned their display and worked on it since the beginning of the quarter. Under the direction ofClyde Moller and house president Glen Abrahamsen, the fourteen men created a castle, completewith torture chamber (for the Loggers) and a working torturer. The two hundred plus ten girls of Higginson Hall all took part in the construction of their display. "Welcome to Homecoming 1961' greeted peopleas they drove by, looking at the gigantic knight who stood four stories high and had just conquered apunny Logger. It took Linda Lind-strom, general chairman; Kay Fred-lund and Sherry Crawford, chairmen, over four weeks to plan for the display. The windows of the hall were zig-zagged with crepe paper togive the hall the castle type look. In the courtyard was a roundtable with real live knights. Winners ofSkit Night was the Sophomore classe's Freudian slip-worded "Cinderella" narrated by Doug McCoy andBobbie and Jimmy Brown's in-between act performance.

Features, Page 8 Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington The Western Front TUESDAY JAN. 27, 2004 Olympic Pipeline may not have to pay all of its fines By Lee Fehrenbacher The Western Front The Office of Pipeline Safety, a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, may not collect $2.8 million of a $3.05 million fine, part of the largest pipeline fine in U.S. history. OPS spokesman Damon Hill said the office still was negotiating with Olympic Pipeline and that recovering the remainder of the fine with Olympic would be more complicated and time consuming since Olympic Pipeline filed for bankruptcy in March. , Ben Arnold/The Western Front In his corner office on the sixth floor of the Herald Building, Carl Weimer, executive director of SAFE Bellingham, works on daily concerns. Weimer said the Department of Transportation has postponed dealing with the Olympic fine issue. On June 10, 1999, a ruptured pipeline released approximately 236,000 gallons of gasoline into Hannah and Whatcom Creeks, which erupted into a fireball, killing 10-year-olds Wade King and Stephen Tsiorvas and 18-year-old Liam Wood, as well as causing extensive damage to the surrounding areas. Following the explosion, the office fined Olympic Pipeline Company, the pipeline operator, $3.05 million in civil penalties. SAFE Bellingham executive director Carl Weimer said that when the office imposed the fine, the DOT made a point of publicizing it, but now it seemed the DOT Was trying to let the issue silently slip away. "Government agencies make it sound like they're doing one thing and then turn around and do another/and we just hope that's not the case with Olympic Pipeline," Weimer said. Earlier this month, Shell Pipeline Company LP, the majority owner of Olympic Pipeline at the time of the explosion, agreed to pay $250,000 of the fine but denied any responsibility for the explosion. British Petroleum took over 62.5 percent of the pipeline in July 2000, while Shell has owned 37.5 percent since before the explosion. This past week, however, the Pipeline Safety Trust, a nonprofit pipeline-safety information clearinghouse and industry watchdog created by the families of Wood SEE Fines, PAGE 4 Ben Arnold/ The Western Front Bellingham resident Elijah Nelson smokes at the Roguehero Sunday night. Public- health group wants to limit smoking By Marinda Peugh The Western Front A Bellingham anti-tobacco activist group is lobbying in Olympia for a statewide smoking ban. Members of COMMIT for a Tobacco Free Whatcom County plan address the Whatcom County Council Feb. 4 about enacting a policy similar to one the Tacoma/Pierce County Board of Health passed Dec. 3, which made smoking illegal in any place SEE Smoking, PAGE 4 Level III sex offender now attends Western After seven months, University Police find out offender's status ByEricBerto The Western Front The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office recently made an official decision to classify Western sophomore Thomas Leland Tucker Jr. as a Level DJ sex offender. This comes months after U n i v e r s i ty Police sent a memo to W e s t e r n administrators labeling Tucker as a Level I sex offender. In a June 18 memo sent to Western administrators, Assistant UP Chief David Doughty wrote that the sheriff's office had sent a memo the day before saying a Thomas Tucker Jr. Level I sex offender had enrolled at Western. Jeff Parks, Whatcom County Sheriff's office chief criminal deputy, later said the memo contained no language to indicate Tucker was a Level I offender. "I do not see anything in the memo that says he is a Level I," Parks said. Parks said the sheriff's office informed Western that Tucker was a registered offender. The office, however, did not clarify at what level he was classified. Doughty said he based the memo he sent to administration on information the sher-riff's office provided him. "If it didn't say (his level) in the memo, then I called the detective and asked him," Doughty said. Sex offenders must, by law, register with the sheriff's office in the county in which they reside. It is at the discretion of the sheriff's office to classify an offender as a certain level, sheriff's detective Ray Oaks said. Oaks said he evaluated Tucker's status Dec. 18 and classified him as a Level HI offender. This evaluation came nearly four years after Tucker's release from prison in Febuary 2000 after serving six months for child molestation and rape of a child, according to Washington State Patrol criminal records. Parks said the sheriff's office formulates a rating based on a series of questions and the other information available to the office. "With what we know now, this person should be a Level EI," Parks said. Oaks said that since Tucker served his time in the SEE Records PAGE 6 Administration may consider removal as a possible option By Eric Berto The Western Front After learning that a Level III sex offender attends Western, administrators must now decide his fate. University Police announced Monday that Western sophomore Thomas Leland Tucker Jr. is now officially classified as. a Level TO sex offender, the category most likely to reoffend, said Assistant University Police Chief David Doughty. "We didn't get notice until last week (that Tucker was a Level HI offender)," Doughty said. Western Dean of Students Ted Pratt said that because of Western's policy to provide a safe learning environment for all members of the Western community, Tucker might be removed from Western. "What I want to do is go in and say, 'Based on our policies, what kind of actions are we legally responsible to take?'"Pratt said. At this time, however, Pratt said he is not sure of the legal options Western can take. "I don't know, based on his level (DI) and what our policies state, how much of a defense I can put up for him," Pratt said. Tucker's classification as a Level DI offender emerged nearly seven months after he registered at Western. He is a full-time student, Pratt said. "What really concerns us is that he is in a school environment with access to really young women," said Jeff Parks, Whatcom County Sherriff's Office chief criminal deputy. According to Washington State Patrol criminal history, Tucker served six months in the Whatcom County Jail on one charge of child molestation and one charge of rape of a child. Pratt said that although the administration has set no deadline for a decision of Tucker's fate, he expects to reach a decision by the end of the week. He also said he has not been able to contact Tucker. ---------- Western Front 2004 January 27 - Page 2 ---------- The Western Front * 2 NEWS January 27, 2004 COPS BOX iespcwnd^i to artasjsi^t^ces^; byltheBÂ£E gt; y ^ k B ^ ^ u ^ ^ t s ^ l l l l l l l ^^ |||g||i|l|||J|iKli|||i ;;Fairftay^ .i:didnpt|i^ ir|isji||Â§^^ ^itcii^i'^ 'â€¢â€¢'â€¢--â€¢'"â€¢ â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ ftSliiiiSiilittSBil Vooi ces What would you like to see in The Western Front?

Detective Ed Troyer said the 38-year- old man and his wife were outside the permitted area at Crystal Mountain, north of Mount Rainier National Park Sunday afternoon.

Snow, sleet, ice coat Midwest Plains to East Coast The storms that hit the East Coast and Midwest are now blamed for at least 25 deaths within the past week. Snow and freezing rain coated highways from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic states Monday, a day after a separate storm made travel risky from the central plains to the Carolinas. Schools are closed from Illinois into the Carolinas and Georgia, where ice is glazing the highways. Snow is the problem in parts of Nebraska, North Dakota and Minnesota. Drifting snow temporarily closed approximately 70 miles of an interstate highway in North Dakota between Fargo and Grand Forks. Ice coated Boston Harbor, and the Coast Guard is working to free the busy shipping lanes. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Palestinians say photo of suicide bomber hurts cause The militant Islamic group Hamas posted a controversial photo of a female suicide bomber holding a rifle in one arm and her 3-year-old son in the other. Some Palestinians said the photo hurts the Palestinian cause â€” showing that militant groups will not even spare women and children in their desire to harm Israelis. The woman was not the first female suicide bomber, but she is the first-known wife or mother. In a videotaped farewell message, she said she wanted to go on the mission.
