President Clinton had just released his list of 59 pardons and commutations and Gaines' name was on the list. - "Go pack your bags Dorothy," attorney Tracy Herbert told her. "You're going home." After serving almost six years of a 20- year sentence for conspiracy to sell crack cocaine when there was no physical evidence against her, and after numerous appeals requests had been denied, Gaines was a free woman. . "I started screaming and hollering and I just dropped the phone," Gaines,told The Western Front, speaking from her daughter's home in Mobile, Ala.. "1 just couldn't believe it." Donny Clark was on the phone with his daughter when he heard the news that he was one of 37 drug convicts on President Clinton's list of pardons. Clark was in the 11th year of a life sentence without possibility of parole in federal prison for growing pot plants â€” a crime for which he'd already served time in a Florida state prison. "I kind of thought she was playing some kind of joke on me," he said. He immediately went to his case manager at Coleman Federal Penitentiary in Florida to see if she was right. The case manager checked the list to make sure, then asked Clark, "How does it feel to be a free man?" "Then it hit me and I just started shaking," Clark said with a chuckle. '1 couldn't say anything. (The case manager) asked me, "You're not gonna have a heart attack, are you?'" Gaines and Clark hadn't fallen through the cracks of the U.S. legal system before their releases; the system had worked perfectly in both cases. They were given precisely the sentences pre-scribed by federal law.

From PROTEST, Page 1 Students Environmental Center Coordinator Eric Vermeers said. "A corporation is in our community and it's not being responsible to its community members." "We are not violent people," Vermeers said. "It's pretty apparent we're peaceful and we want peaceful solutions to this problem." Protester Dana Lyons compared the 40 generators to 1,000 semi-trucks driving through downtown Bellingham 24 hours per day. "The G-P corporation assumes a lot of power and with that power comes more responsibility," Lyons said. "We're here to hold G-P accountable for their actions that affect our health." 'In order to ensure democracy, the public needs to be a part of this process.' Dave Sansone Protester Dave Sansone, another protester, said this rally's purpose was to give Bellingham's citizens a chance to discuss the issues â€” a chance city council members denied them by not allowing the public to be attend Tuesday's informational meeting. "In order to insure democracy, the public needs to be a part of this process," Sansone said. He encouraged citizens, G-P. officials, the Department of Ecology, the Northwest Air Pollution Association and the city council to discuss the health concerns together.

BLUE CREW OOD1E 5U 1111^ YOUR VIHIN05 Marriott-Western contract gives Sodexho-Marriott exclusive rights From MARRIOTT, Page.l "If they want some kind of exclusivity rights, they're not going to get it," Jim Schuster, associate director of operations for the VU, said. "This is a protection for the campus population so they don't have people trying to sell them things at every corner." But Yanich has a vision to redeem his business and perpetuate small businesses on campus other than Marriott, Western's contracted, exclusive food-service provider. He wants to serve his goods in a leased space inside the new Associated Students Cooperative Bookstore. Construction crews will renovate the bookstore this summer. He has not proposed his plan to the bookstore administration, but if Western adheres to the VU/AS policy and Marriott exclusivity rights, his dream might not come to fruition. The Marriott contract with Western states: "University grants Marriott the exclusive rights to manage and operate the Food Service, except the University or others may sell items to be determined by University after consultation with Marriott." "A Way of Life Bakery," Yanich's business, which also distributes wholesale baked goods, has complied with VU/AS policy for the 10 years it has sold food at Western, Yanich said. During the VU renovation, business has become increasingly difficult, he said. The vendors were moved last quarter and moved again this quarter when part of the VU reopened. Schuster said the VU project will be completed by spring quarter. The demolition phase, which has caused many of the vendor's problems, will be finished in one or two weeks, he said, "We just lived through a lot more noise, in the last year, than they've had," Schuster said. "For a temporary thing like this, it doesn't seem necessary to change the policy." Originally, the VU was slated to have a leased indoor space for vendors like "A Way of Life," Yanich said. When students asked that Vendors' Row remain outside, Western axed the indoor venues from the blueprints, he said. Yanich pays Western $500 for a table and $50 for electricity per quarter, Schuster said. Yanich said he has had problems with catering at Western. Contingent with Marriott's exclusivity rights, Marriott employees have the exclusive right to cater all on-campus gatherings. However, Yanich said a friend wanted him to cater an on-campus pizza party. Western's administration said his friend had to buy the pizza through Plaza Pizza, Yanich said. "So he had to end up paying for (the pizza) under party expenses," he said. "You shouldn't have to he just to get a pizza." The reason Western doesn't allow outside catering is because caterers would use Western's facilities and, according to Director of University Residences Kathleen Rich, because Marriott's contract with Western gives the corporation exclusivity rights. "If we weren't able to promise exclusivity, (Marriott) would have to raise the price to account for t he competition," Rich said. Western economics professor Iris Gibson said the logic behind that statement may have been less than sound. "The conventional wisdom for most industries is that when you increase the numbers of producers, you lower the price," Gibson said. Western and Evergreen State College are t h e only state universities that have food service providers. Like all other state universities, Washington State University's Sam Miller, assistant director of retail operations for food services, said he hires his own cooks and staff. . "My feeling on t he whole thing is t h a t most contractors can offer the university more money but that's because they pay their help a lot less," Miller said. Miller said cooks come to 'My feeling on the whole thing is that most contractors can offer the university more money but that's . because they pay their help a lot less.' Sam Miller WSU Assistant director of retail operations for food service WSU from the University of Idaho, a Marriott school, because the WSU staff is paid better. State law requires Miller to pay his employees $8.50-$9 per hour, but the Idaho staff is paid minimum wage, he said. The wage for Marriott cooks is confidential, Nori Yamashita, a dining services general manager, said. However, cooks receive wages and benefits comparable to other restaurants in the Bellihgham area, he said. He said staff that cater on-campus gatherings are paid, including benefits, about $8-$9 per hour. WSU hires outside caterers to provide food for on-campus activities, Miller said. WSU students pay $2,480 for the equivalent of Western's silver meal plan, while Western students pay $1,800. Marriott also employs Western students and starts them at minimum wage. The students are evaluated and can have a pay increase of up to 15 cents per quarter. Marriott pays Western rent each month, said Kurt Willis, director of business and information systems for university residences. Last year, Marriott paid Western $266,318. Any profits more than 5.5 percent of total sales are split with Western. Last year, Marriott profited 4.94 percent, about $370,629, from $7,495 million in sales, he said. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 16 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢ The Western Front News February 16, 2001 Speaker heralds new Mexican president as a political innovator By Brendan Manning THE WESTERN FRONT "Viva Mexico!" "Que Viva!" the audience members cried back. "Viva Vicente!" "Que Viva!" they yelled once again. "Now we are ready to begin," said Larry Estrada, an associate professor at Fairhaven and director of American Cultural Studies,Wednesday to an audience of about 35 people in Science Lecture Hall 120. 'Generally, the average Mexican person felt they had a stake in this particular election. It was a very energized election.' Larry Estrada Lecturer and Western associate professor Estrada was the fourth speaker in Western's faculty lecture series. His presentation, "Zorro Politics: The Potential Legacy of Vicente Fox's Presidency," described Mexico's current economic and education situation, President Fox's likely agenda in Mexico, proposed foreign relations with the United States and the unusual fervor of Mexican citizens in the presidential election two months ago. Estrada's shouting "Viva Mexico" and "Viva Vicente," along with the audience's loud replies, echoed the passion the people of Mexico had for Fox, he said. "Generally, the average Mexican person felt they had a stake in this particular election," he said. "It was a very, energized election." Estrada explained why Fox was popular with Mexican voters by recalling an episode where Fox sat and ate breakfast with street children. "No Mexican (president) had taken the time to go down and talk to those people . . . the oppressed," he said. Estrada expressed skepticism of whether Fox will accomplish certain goals, such as a guest worker program, which would grant amnesty to Mexicans working illegally in the United States, and an open border policy between the United States and Mexico. "I think he's a political realist," Estrada said. "But I also think Vicente Fox is playing the crowd by Western commission may change GUR requirements Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front Larry Estrada speaks, using his own arm as a visual aid, on the changes coming to Mexico and the United States as Vicente Fox takes control of Mexico. enacting an open border policy," he said. Fox's cabinet consists of people from the far left and far right, making policies muddled and subject to a continual butting of heads, Estrada said. "Fox, in the first months, will play the populace," he said. "What happens the next months with his cabinet should be interesting." Estrada answered questions from the audience after his hour-long lecture and video presentation. "From my perspective, there were many good questions at the end," Estrada said. "I think this kept the audience engaged." He also introduced Cassandra Howe, a Fairhaven sophomore who represents a group of concerned students urging Western to join the Workers Rights Consortium. The WRC monitors companies that use sweatshop labor. "I don't think many people know about situations in Mexico," Howe said. "This lecture was a h eye-opening experience." Estrada said he chose this particular topic because it's current and it's in his area of expertise. "I attended this lecture because the presidency in Mexico is so new, and I'm curious as to what may happen," Fairhaven sophomore Amy Bundy said, "I thought it was informative on contemporary political situation in Mexico and probably gave a- lot of people food for thought," she said. By Craig Yantis THE WESTERN FRONT The Academic Coordinating Commission recently adopted a change in policy that could allow more room for elective classes in Western students' schedules in the future. ' In particular, I think there is a consensus that the electives are infringed upon right now," Vice Chair of the ~ Academic Coordinating Commission Edoh Amiran said. "And we think that's not so good." The change in policy states the division of credits for a degree at Western should consist of 90 credits in a major, 60 credits in General Education Requirements (GERs/GURs) and 30 elective credits. Amiran said the action was taken because the ACC believes the infringement on elective classes taking place can be reduced without compromising the integrity of degrees. "That is a serious issue, especially for some degrees where a degree has to keep some professional standard," he said. "And it's not serving anybody to have a degree that doesn't do what it's supposed to do." The move, approved by the ACC, is awaiting approval by the Faculty Senate. Even if approved, the change in policy may not have immediate consequences for Western. "As the ACC reviews program changes, it's going to try to encourage motion in the direction of these proportions," Amiran said. "In other words, it will approve motions in this direction and not approve motions in opposition to this direction." Amiran said this new policy is based on comments of students who shared their experiences and concerns about the amount of time people take to earn their degree at Western. Though meeting students needs is a priority for the administration, it also wants to find an efficient way to provide an education, he said. "The.legislature doesn't want to spend too much of the state's money to educate any one student," he said. The opportunity for students to take more elective credits may come at the expense of GERs. The function of GERs is usually viewed as providing new students exposure to several areas of study, used as prerequisites for majors or as an avenue to provide graduates with a broad-based education. Amiran said the policy changes awaiting the senate's approval do not necessarily require an increase in the number of elective classes Western offers. But if a greater demand results, individual departments may decide to offer more classes in the future.

'The system wouldn 't function without informants. They can't get anything on their own. They really are like the Keystone Cops.' Steve Gotzler Public Interest Law Center attorney Gaines' real crime was having bad taste in men. In 1994, her ex-husband, Larry Johnson, was arrested for possession of crack cocaine. He fingered her current boyfriend, Terrell Hines, as playing a small part in a large crack-dealing ring. Johnson named several other dealers and police quickly made arrests. In an effort to reduce their sentences, Hines and his co-conspirators also began naming names. Soon Gaines' name came up. "The system, wouldn't function without informants," said Steve Gotzler, an attorney at the Public Interest Law Center, a non-profit law firm in Trenton, N.J. "They can't get anything on their own. They really are like the Keystone Cops." Gotzler is a convicted marijuana smuggler who got his college degree in prison and graduated from Rutgers School of Law when he was released. He is now president of the National Lawyers Guild. "What you get is a bunch of people that have everything to gain by lying," Gotzler said. "They'll say anything to reduce their sentences." Since Gaines had known of Hines' involvement in the crack ring, prosecutors said she had played an active part in the conspiracy. The judge in her state trial threw out the case because no physical evidence existed. As a result, the state couldn't actually link her to any drugs or any drug deals. Under federal law, however, prosecutors don't need physical evidence, just sworn testimony of witnesses. In this case, they had some very questionable witnesses. Hines and the others said Gaines had, indeed, been a part of drug deals, and that she'd been in possession of two kilos of crack. "I was convicted on the testimony of a bunch of convicted felons," Gaines said. Her only prior crime was writing a bad check years earlier. Gaines insisted on her innocence and refused a plea bargain that would have released her after five years. She was found guilty and sentenced to 235 months in prison, more time than is handed down for rape, child pornography or second degree murder. Each of the dealers who testified against her received shorter sentences. Gaines and her three children were evicted from their government- assisted four bedroom home. Her daughter, an honors student, dropped out of college to care for the two younger children, ages 14 and 11. Gaines lost one appeal and was refused an appeal from the U.S. Supreme Court. She said her appeal directly to Clinton was "pretty much my last chance." Federal prosecutors were not available for comment. U.S. attorney Don Foster said prosecutors were just doing their jobs in Gaines' case. "Our jobs as prosecutors is to enforce the laws as written by Congress," he told reporters after Gaines' release. "If the laws turn out to be harsher than the public wants, then Congress is the appropriate place to change those laws." Unlike Gaines, Donny Clark actually was a drug dealer. Through the 1970s and early 1980s, he grew marijuana on his 640-acre farm in Manatee County, Fla. "I had one hell of a big operation going," Clark said from his home in Parrish, Fla. He said police ignored him and other pot growers until the early 1980s, when they began cracking down on growers. He got busted for growing 900 plants. "Up until then, we were just a bunch of country boys growing our crops," he said. He served a year and a half in Florida state prison. After his release, he was completely through in the drug business, he said. As the prosecutor in his 1990 T was convicted on the testimony of a bunch of convicted felons.' Dorothy Gaines Former drag crimes inmate federal trial said, however, "in conspiracy cases, quitting doesn't count." Clark was convicted not only for conspiracy to sell the 900 plants he'd already been punished for, but all the seedlings that came from them â€” more than one million plants, according to a federal witness's testimony. As in Gaines' trial, spoken testimony was enough for a conviction. With one million plants credited to him and a gun police, found in his barn, the sentencing guidelines were clear: Clark would spend the rest of his life in a federal penitentiary. The U.S. government seized the farm he had owned for 15 years, sold it and kept the profits. The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution protects against "double jeopardy." It states that no one may be punished twice for the same offense. Clark said he was told he wasn't really being punished twice for the same crime, since the state of Florida and the United States were different jurisdictions and since he was being charged for conspiracy to sell, not just for growing. Clark spent almost 11 years in federal prison. He said he met many career criminals in prison, but also many people, especially drug convicts, who didn't deserve to be there. "In all that time in prison," he said, "I didn't see a single kingpin. They've locked up a lot of harmless people and destroyed a lot of people's lives with federal (drug) laws." Clark now works for his son-in- law's grass seeding business. He chuckled and said he'd found himself "right back in the grass business." Because Gaines was not pardoned, but rather, her sentence was commuted, she is still a convicted felon. "It's been real hard to get help with housing," she said. Having a drug conviction on her record means she also cannot return to nursing, which she had done before her arrest. When she spoke to The Western Front, she had just had a job interview with the Boys and Girls Club of Mobile, where she hopes to become a counselor. "I found my calling when I was in prison," she said. "I want to educate and help young people. I met a lot of good people in prison and I felt like a mother to a lot of them." Both Gaines and Clark are working with the November Coalition, an organization based in Colville, Wash, advocating drug law reform. Clark also works with Families Against Mandatory Minimums.

Some people like skateboarding, some don't. Then there are those who like skateboarding dogs. Pattie Moon is one of those. Moon, who works in the acquisitions department in Haggard Hall, has always loved dogs. But then, her 6-year-old border terrier, Rufus, is a dog anyone could fall in love with. "I was at the County Fair in Lynden when I saw a girl had taught her dog to skateboard," Moon said. "I knew I could do that with Rufus." Soon after that, Moon began her search for a skateboard for him. Five dollars later, Rufus was ready to become a skateboarder. "The wheels aren't safe for people," Moon said. "But as long as the wheels turn, it is okay for Rufus." Moon then showed the dog how the skateboard works, using operate conditioning, a method in which she rewards Rufus with a treat when he offers his good behavior. "Rufus is very intelligent, he picks things up very quickly," Moon said. "I'm good at letting him know when he does something correctly." Rufus skates by pushing his left hind leg while keeping his other three legs on the board at all times. Rufus' new trick landed him a slot on Animal Planet's TV series "Breed All About It." The TV show videotaped Rufus skateboarding in Fairhaven for an hour and a half. Moon and Rufus also appeared in the movie "Best in Show," a comedy film that was nominated for a Golden Globe award. "I have a border terrier too," Western student Gary Spees said. "But there's no way in hell that my dog could ride a skateboard." "Rufus is truly an amazing dog," Moon's co-worker Pat Zuidmeer said. "Pattie spends a lot of time working with Rufus." Oddly enough, skateboarding isn't Rufus's only speciality. He also plays a game called flyball, which includes four hurdles and a spring-loaded box with a tennis ball. Normally this game involves four handlers, with four dogs on a team, but Rufus can play by himself. "All I have to do is say 'let's play,' and he will jump the hurdles, shoot the ball, fetch it, bring it back, load it in the box, then start back with the hurdles again," Moon said. "He remembers the. whole sequence of events." Rufus also competes in all kinds of agility competitions. His best performance earned him 13th place out of 117 dogs at the Agility National Championships in Massachusetts. Moon has another dog, Spencer, who is the exact opposite of Rufus. "Spencer is a different dog," Moon said. "He has a different personality and he does things as he pleases." Moon has trained Rufus in many different areas. Aside from the skateboarding, flyball and competitive agility appearances, Rufus is trained for herding sheep,- obedience and tracking. He even visits nursing homes. "Not only is Rufus extremely talented, but he's also so sweet and a great companion," Zuidmeer said. "He's a great little dog, and he tries hard to please," Moon said. "He's always willing to try something new. He's just plain amazing."

The movie, directedby Ridley Scott, stars as Hannibal Lecter, the cannibal: who became famous 10 years ago in "Silence of the Lambs." This sequel also stars Julianne Moore, replacing Jodie Foster, as Clarice Starling. The movie is based on the novel by Thomas Harris and is the third part in his three-part series. / The movie's creative yet horrific story line will make many people cover their eyes and hide their heads.

Lecter has hidden in Florence, Italy for the past decade after escaping from the asylum he was in during "Silence of the Lambs." While Lecter's in hiding, one of his victims, Mason Verger, whose face is scarred and unrecognizable, plans how he is going to find Lecter and get revenge. . Pazzi, a detective in Florence played by Giancarlo Giannini, discovers Lecter is in the city and informs Verger for a $3 million; reward. Most of the. movie revolves around Starling, the FBI agent, trying to find Hannibal. But she is usually always one step behind Pazzi and Verger. Moore played her role well, giving a good depiction of how she would be 10 years after an encounter with Lecter when he was in prison.

Gobs o' fun By Brian Harrington . THE WESTERN FRONT Gob is not something hacked up the morning after a night of excessive drinking. Gob is a band from Vancouver, B.C. It has been together for six years. The members say they enjoy playing shows more than anything. "We're not in it for the money â€” we feed off the energy from the fans," the band's headman Theo Gob said. Theo Gob went on to say people can expect "to be rocked 'til they drop." "We like to make it memorable for everyone," he said. Former Western student Caleb McBride recalled the first time he saw Gob. "At the end of the show they brought out a bell and.covered ACDC's "Hells Bells,"' he said. Gob will perform at 8 p.m. Feb. 22 at Animalz night club in Abbottsford, B.C. Tickets are available at the club or on Ticketmaster's Web site. Tickets are $15 Canadian. Gob's current single "For the Moment" plays on numerous Canadian radio stations. Influenced by performers ranging from the Police to the Ramones to John Cqltrane, Gob got much radio play this summer with a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black." The band's recent album, "The World According to Gob," is close to going gold on the Canadian record charts and recently was released in the United States. Gob members are enjoying the success, but they still enjoy their shows and their fans. Th'eo Gob said the band enjoys playing all-ages shows because, unlike bar's where people are there to socialize or to get drunk, all-ages shows are for fans to support the band. Theo Gob said he looks forward to the shows. '1 get to do what I do, joke around a lot and share my sense of humor with the fans," he said. Theo said the band's goal is to enjoy the whole band experience. 'We want to look back and say, 'Fuck, that was awesome," he said. The band wants the fans to say the same thing.. !

He looks simultaneously exhausted and exhilarated. The crowd has left, and the throng of admirers who had been hounding him backstage since the show ended have also begun to leave. The parking lot behind the Mount Baker Theatre is desolate, like a scene from one of Brock's songs. "I like feeling close to people," he says, "I like playing in clubs or bars, where everybody is too drunk to give a shit. Theaters like this aren't really my style." Brock, the lead guitarist, songwriter and vocalist for Modest Mouse, has just finished playing a sold out show for 1,500 fans and looks like he hasn't slept for weeks. Brock's eyes have a hollow look to them and his hair and clothes look like thrift-shop bargains â€”well worn but comfortable. "It went okay I guess," he exhales through a cloud of smoke, "I got tired of focusing on the whole security guard thing." - The "security guard thing" to which Brock is referring was one of the few problems that marred Modest Mouse's performance Saturday. The crowd, which sat obediently in the plush seats of the Mount Baker Theatre for the opening set by FCS North, erupted into the aisles as soon as Modest Mouse took the stage. The security crew panicked and fought to restore a control that" they never really had. "I can't stand those little miniature police, shining flashlights in kid's faces just for dancing," Brock says. He flicks his cigarette out the open door of the van and collapses-back into his seat. The crowd on the main floor of the Mount Baker Theatre was far from unruly, but the security crew, concerned with keeping the aisles clear for safety reasons, made every effort to keep people in their seats. Problems like these are becoming more common for Brock and his band mates, as Modest Mouse's popularity seems to grow exponentially with each album they release. The band, which is currently touring to promote its first major-label album "The Moon Antarctica," has played increasingly larger shows over the past few years. With larger crowds come larger venues, something Brock is not entirely happy about. "I'd rather be a really big little band," he says with a distant look in his eye, trying to recall a show the band played in the VU in 1997 to a significantly smaller crowd. Brock's voice trails off in mid thought. Photos by Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Modest Mouse lead singer Isaac Brock rocked out during the group's performance last Saturday. Modest Mouse stopped at the Mount Baker Theatre on tour promoting their first major-label album, "The Moon Antarctica." Despite a small interruption to chastise security, Modest Mouse played a high-energy show. Modest Mouse is well known for its inconsistent shows. Their performance at the Mount Baker Theatre, however, was solid if somewhat uninspired, a distillation of their heavily produced new album into its rawest and purest form. FCS North had the rapt attention of the audience for their entire set. Had the crowd not been conserving its collective energy to greet Modest Mouse it surely would have responded more enthusiastically to the complex, precise and beautiful music that the band played for the whole of its set. FCS North's drummer, Andy Sells and his band mates, former Satisfact bass and keyboard players Josh Warren and Chad States, warmed up the crowd and left the stage modestly amid the conservative applause of the audience. It was clear, however, who the crowd had come to see as they burst to their feet and roared when Modest Mouse took the stage. The band played in a straight forward and uncompromising fashion, covering material from each of their albums. "It was definitely a good crowd," Brock says as he lights another cigarette, "they looked like they were having a good time. Their energy helped us through." Brock negotiates his way to the front of the van and puts a CD in the stereo, a solo work-in-progress he eventually will release on Sub Pop Records under his alias "Ugly Casanova." The music sounds similar to Modest Mouse's, a bit more delirious and energetic, but equally somber and austere. Brock closes his eyes, lost in the music, and shakes his head as though criticizing his performance on the recording. "Isaac (Brock) is a really hard guy to please," Kris Kierulff, the Associated Students Pop Music coordinator, said of Brock's apparent dissatisfaction with the show. "Overall, I think it went pretty well." If the crowd's response was any indication, the show went more than well. Looking haggard and distracted, the band emerged from the dressing room to respond to the cheering crowd with an encore that was arguably the show's highlight. As soon as they stepped back on the stage, their exhaustion seemed to disappear. Fueled by the energy of the crowd, they put the finishing touches on one of the best shows Bellingham has seen since Modest Mouse last rolled through town. Modest Mouse is taking a short break from touring, FCS North will play with Plastiq Phantom on February 23rd at Thursday's Pub in Victoria, British Columbia. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 16 - Page 9 ---------- February 16, 2001 Accent The Western Front â€¢ 9 'Don't believe the hype' By Scott A. Keys THE WESTERN FRONT All eyes of the more than 600-member audience were fixed on Chuck D, who was perched behind a podium Thursday on the PAC main-stage* eloquently speaking on rap, racism reality and the monopolizing of the information industry by large corporations. Chuck D, co-founder of the hip-hop group Public Enemy, has been lecturing for. 11 years, having what he calls "vibe sessions" where he speaks his mind on a variety of issues. He said too many people take what mainstream America says as truth and instead need to investigate and educate themselves about what the t r u th really is. The college . experience should be used to the fullest in order for students to make informed decisions and be aware of what the real picture is, Chuck D said. "If you don't think college is about making money and getting paid â€” you're wrong," he said. "Take it seriously and don't play around. I'm all about having a good time, but the motto you should have is have your accountability and responsibility in place." "People think that America is so pure and pristine, and that we live in a land of wealth and the land of the free, that everything is all good," he said. He said the "dumbing down" of the American society is caused by the large corporations that have the power of information and don't care what information is disseminated as long as it earns them money. "We have people who are really sheeple," he said. "You, as college students, need to have a real active mind, body and souL" Society's main problem is that large corporations are monopolizing the information industry and have the power to mold and shape society's reality. 'People are being coddled into feeling good about themselves by buying things that corporate America gives them.' Chuck D political activist "People are being coddled into feeling good about themselves by buying things that corporate America gives them," he said. "When a mother has $160 in Blurring the borders her bank book and is convinced that her child needs $200 pair of Jordan's, something is not right." He said he believes American society has a distorted view and narrow-minded ideals because of images presented by corporate America. "The music game is extremely vast." he said. "It's a lot more than what you see on TRL, but the control that corporations give is causing a huge distortion." "Corporate America is in control of the mindset of the communities we live in." "A true community has control of its education, its economics and its enforcement and in. black community, this is not true," he said. Chuck D believes a blurred reality is eating away at America, and too many people live in a fantasy created by large corporations. "Corporations are buying a piece of your mind and making money off you," he said. He said one way to destroy the corporations gripping power is using technology. "Technology gives people their freedom, when technology (like MP3 sharing) is placed in the hands of the public and not in the hands of corporations, it gives people the power base and a choice," he said. He said getting more education also is a way for people to break the shackles of monopolizing corporations. "Humans have the ability to learn and think and then make a judgment," he said. Chuck D said he sees hip-hop and rap as methods of cultural exchange. "You go to the Hong Kong and cats ask you about Nelly, or in Australia, they ask you about the new Wu-tang CD," he said. "Hip-hop has engrained itself into society." Photos by Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Chuck D entertained, excited and educated the crowd at the PAC Thursday. While showing off his $9 watch and $30 silver chain, Chuck D discussed American citizens' fascination with materialism as well as addressing issues of race, rap, technology and politics. By Jenny Burritt THE WESTERN FRONT Two years ago, visiting professor Dr. Gary Geddes arrived at Western and was titled Distinguished Professor of Canadian Culture. Geddes said he felt more like an extinguished professor when he got his title, but his activity in the Canadian Studies and English departments has proved him to be everything but. During his time at Western, Geddes has arranged for more than 30 writers to come and speak on campus. This weekend, Geddes is hosting the biggest event he has planned so far, called Borderblur. The Borderblur conference will take place Friday and Saturday. The conference's name developed out of the goal of the weekend's events, which attempt to blur the borders that accomplish both physical and intellectual separations between the United States and Canada. Writers, artists and musicians often do not get a chance to meet or even to learn about emerging talents in other countries. Both Canadians and Americans will read, play, display and discuss their works at the conference. "This will place a little wedge in the border so the Canadian cancer can spread," Geddes said about this opportunity to showcase Canadian work. The conference focuses on "place," and how it is perceived, as well as how it is inhabited and how people .can inhabit it; Borderblur will raise questions about transforming perceptions of place, as well as how thoughts about place have been shaped by both real and imagined borders and boundaries. Those invited to present will place emphasis on the things that affect people's attitudes and thoughts about the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. The way elements in this region's geography, culture and natural beauty construct people's perceptions will be examined. Friday's events will begin with discussion and lecture sessions from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Library Presentation Room. The sessions will be hosted by various speakers about topics such as "writing across the border," "the politics of place," "ethnicity and gender as borderlands," and a "a too-brief history of B.C. film." Friday evening includes a gala of music, refreshments and literary performances. The free event is open to the public and will begin at 8 p.m. at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art, 121 Prospect St. Western English professors Brenda Miller and Nancy Pagh will present some of their work, along with i3 others. Shani Mootoo, a writer and Video- maker from Vancouver ' B.C., as well as Canadian writers Daphne Marlatt, Sky Lee and Lee Maracle also will share then-work. Saturday morning's sessions run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday's topics deal with the environmental issue of "who gets to draw the maps," and the literary topic of "the guilty pleasures of regional-ist writing." Geddes and Don Alper, director for the center of Canadian-American Studies at Western, began planning for this event in the fall and have received positive feedback from the departments they are involved in,, as well as from students who are excited about the event. "This amazing collection of talent is really a testament to the great work done by visiting professor Gary Geddes," Western student David Mclvor said. Another testament to Geddes' and Alper's work are all those who helped to create this event. Thirteen departments on campus helped to sponsor the event. Governmental departments, such as the Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Canada and the Canadian Consulate General in Seattle, have helped as well. 'This is going to be an amazing event and maybe we might even learn a thing or two," Geddes said. He does not disagree with Western bringing in well-known writers like Maya Angelou, yet he considers it more practical and beneficial to bring in lesser-known individuals willing to go to classes, meet with and speak to students. .'They provide unforgettable encounters," Geddes said about programs where students and citizens actually get to meet with active environmentalists, musicians, artists and writers. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 16 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front NCAA II Intramural February 16, 2001 NCAA scholarships are tricky business Distribution of athletic scholarships controlled by Western, rules and regulations governed by the NCAA By Brittany Sadler THE WESTERN FRONT With the recent suspensions of Darnell Taylor and Brian Dennis from the men's basketball team for failure to meet NCAA Division II academic requirements, many people are questioning what happens to the players' athletic scholarships in these instances. According to NCAA regulations, four-year athletic scholarships are never guaranteed â€” they are issued on a yearly basis. At the beginning of each school year, student athletes are reevaluated and scholarships may be renewed. Western Athletics Director Linda Goodrich said student H H l ^ ^ ^ i ^ i athletes must """""â€¢ be in good academic standing, having a 2.0 GPA or higher, must show normal progress toward graduation in order to be eligible for competition. Normal progress is when the student takes Courses that sequentially lead him or her toward the completion of a degree. "If a student can't do that, our position is to try to support the athletes the best we can," men's basketball head coach Brad Jackson said. "If athletes have a mid-year problem, hopefully they can rectify it by the end of the year." Goodrich said athletes suspended for poor academic performance, such as Taylor and Dennis, may continue to practice with the team. They may not, however, play in any games, sit on the bench during a game or travel with the team to away games. Goodrich said an athletic scholarship may not be taken away from a student mid-year: "The NCAA requires that once we commit to a student for a year, they have that 'The NCAA requires that once we commit to a student for a year, they have and that money regardless Linda Goodrich Western Athletic Director money regardless," Goodrich said. She said the only exception would be those students who quit the team or drop out of school. Goodrich said she is the one who ultimately decides if scholarships are reissued to students who have had difficulty meeting academic standards. She said her decision would be influenced if the student's grades are raised by the time of scholarship reviews. Goodrich said taking away an athlete's scholarship is a rare occasion. "To yank a scholarship away and force a- student to quit because he or she doesn't have the means to continue school isn't really serving our p u r p o s e , " Goodrich said. "If you're an athlete with a s c h o l a r s h i p , you'll stay in school." If a student does not show normal progress ' or a willingness to improve his or her academic standing, Goodrich said she would consider taking away a scholarship, because of the number of deserving student athletes without scholarships who could use them. Scholarship funds are raised through events or are donated from private donors and are not state-funded. Athletic marketing director Steve Brummel said the three major annual fundraising events are the Viking Night Dinner and Sports Auction in September, a golf tournament in the spring and the Western Wave Program, which involves local grocery chains and specific product vendors.

She said endowments are lump sums of no less than $20,000 that accrue interest. Rick said they are "gifts that keep giving," because the principle amount is never touched, and the scholarship money comes solely from the interest the endowment produces year after year. Goodrich said a $1 million endowment, at 5 percent interest, would bring in only about $50,000 scholarship dollars a year, which only allows for up to five full-ride scholarships. Of Western's 500 student athletes, Goodrich said' only about 157 have some type of scholarship, either a partial or full one. I The scholarship allotments may be broken down into partial scholarships and tuition waivers, allowing teams to offer financial assistance to more athletes. Each sport is allowed a maximum amount of full- ride scholarships by the NCAA. Western teams currently are slightly under the limit, however. Goodrich said Western is not in a position to give the maximum number of scholarships allowed by the NCAA because of a lack of funding. Ten years ago, Western did not offer any athletic scholarships because the school did not have enough money to give, any out. Women's volleyball head coach Diane Flick said her team is allowed by the NCAA a maximum of eight full scholarships, which include room, board, tuition and book expenses, but the team is only allotted funding for four or five by the athletic department. G o o d r i c h decides how many scholarships each sport receives. She said her decisions -are based on the coaches' needs for recruiting and the amount of revenue the sport produces. Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Suspended basketball player Brian Dennis will have his scholarship reviewed next year. .Generally, she said, the more revenue each sport brings in, more scholarship dollars are needed to recruit better players.

It's been hyped for weeks: "It's more, than a game, it's a rivalry!" was printed on ads posted all around town. The kind of situation where players from both- sides have trouble, sleeping the night before. It's not Duke vs. North Carolina, but the sold-out Viking crowd didn't know that as it left Carver Gym buzzing with excitement and people searching for their voices. Western, ranked No. 17 in the nation and No. 2 in the West Region, improved to 20-3 overall and remained first in the West Division of the PacWest at 12-2. It is Western's first 20-win season since 1994 and just the eighth in school history. The Vikings came out with stifling defense, holding Central scoreless for the first six minutes, jumping out to a 10-0 first-half lead. The Wildcats made just three of their first 18 field goal attempts. Viking guard Shelton Diggs hit a 3-pointer from seven feet behind the arc with the shot-clock expiring to give Western a 13-3 advantage early in the game. "We came tonight prepared and focused," forward Ryan Kettman said. "The energy from the crowd brought our game to a whole new level." Kettman, a senior and team captain, playing in his eighth and final Western-Central game, gave fans something to remember, leading his team in scoring with 18 points - and snatching eight rebounds. Central walked into Carver winning 11 of the last 12 games against Western, including a 102- 91 victory against the Vikings on Jan. 20 in Ellensburg. But Carver Gym, sold out by Central-haters and bursting at the seams with school spirit, proved to be not so friendly environment for the Wildcats. "We've been pumped for weeks," Viking center Chris Stevens said. "I had goosebumps the whole game. This is what you play the game for." The Vikings forced Central into 18 turnovers and outrebounded the Wildcats 48-37, while holding them to their lowest point total since the 96-97 season. Forward Justin Thompson led Central with a game-high 19 points, but the Wildcats shot a dismal 29.7 percent (19 of 64) from the field. Down 39- 23 at the half, Central cut the Vikings' lead to 11 before Nehemiah Campbell excited the Viking faithful with a high-flying slam dunk off a missed fast break lay-up attempt by Jacob Stevenson. The dunk gave Western a 50-32 lead â€” a gap the Vikings refused to relinquish. Stevenson picked Central apart in the second half, going coast-to-coast on consecutive lay-ups and dishing out assists like candy to his teammates. The junior finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals. Forward A.J. Giesa had 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds and center Mike Palm added 14 points and nine rebounds to round out the Vikings' balanced scoring attack. The 28-point margin of victory was the largest ever for Western in its series with Central, which began in 1907. It was the Vikings' sixth win by 14 or more points in their seven-game winning streak. The Vikings look to avenge an early season upset as they host Saint Martin's College at 7 p.m. Saturday in Carver Gym. EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT â€¢ NO PASSES â€¢ CALL THEATRE FOR SH0WTIMES ATTENTION!

"It's another way for students to socialize," she said. "They go to school and work their brains all day. Intramural sports provide a social activity that involves physical movement. It's a fun, healthy activity." Basketball is an intramural sport that is taken seriously by most of the students who participate. It is for this reason the referees are needed. "We are there to keep the games safe and under control," student referee Derek Bonderant said. "The worst thing that can happen is somebody getting hurt." Incidents happen quite frequently on the basketball court, as the players cause problems with both the referees and other students. So far this season, referees have filed 25 incident reports, including two fist fights, to the intramural office. "These are usually shoving matches between players," McGuire said. "They are cases where we have had to kick a person out of the game." "It's so unlike Western," Bonderant said. "Nobody cares about anything until intramural basketball, then it becomes in each other's face. A hand check suddenly equals a punch in the face. We have like five technicals a night." McGuire said she feels the problem is "that students playing in the game expect the officials to not just call the game, but somehow take the blame for everything. If they are losing or anything like that, it's like the official becomes a scapegoat. It's not the official's fault if someone is having a bad night." Bonderant explained too many of the players take what is intended to be a fun game too seriously. ' "Everybody who can cross over and shoot a three thinks they are good at it," he said. Bonderant went on to explain that many players have no control, and what may seem like hacking to some is actually a loss of control. nail someone, I'm not going to call a foul if you're out of control," he said. To some players it seemS that others have forgotten what intramural sports are about. 'Too many of these players need to sit back and have fun, and stop trying to relive the glory of riding the bench in high school,". player Sean Ekblad said. "The refs don't deserve that." McGuire said team members forget that they are playing in a recreational program not a professional sport. The intramural basketball program is broken down into three leagues. The A league is the most competitive, the B league is semi-competitive and the C league is for people with little experience who want to have fun. McGuire said organizers do their best to control the playing level in these leagues, but some teams' members want to win so badly that they drop themselves down a level. If an incident occurs depending on the severity, there are consequences. According to the Intramural Sports Handbook, if a player gets into a fight, he or she is kicked out for the season. If teammates do not stop the fight, the whole team will be put on probation. Each team is given a sports- Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Student referee Jeremy Harper watches a shot go up Wednesday. In addition to refereeing it Harper also plays intramural basketball. low, the team will not be allowed to participate in the playoffs. The referees are trained using a video from the National Intramural Recreation Sports Association, and many of them have prior referee experience. But training doesn't prepare them to deal with players' aggression. "You've got to keep your head as a ref." Bonderant said. "If the ref can't concentrate, it ruins the game, you can endanger yourself and the players." The majority of incidents do seem to occur in the men's intramural league, but McGuire said aggressive behavior is not limited to the men. "The women's league is pretty heavy contact," she said. "There is a lot of hacking going on there." "There is not as much of a problem with the girl players," referee coordinator Jenny Siviela said. "They seem to be out more to have fun, but in the A leagues, girls are very competitive. They are out to win, but still have fun." "If you dribble down court and manship rating.

G-P is the proud manufacturer of two products: paper and pollution. And Bellingham residents use them both. In December, G-P began running 16 diesel generators to cut rising costs imposed by this year's electricity shortage. By summer, 36 generators will actively pump diesel . fumes IpBHUHllll into the " â€¢ B e l l i n g h a m skyline. In short, Bellingham is suffering from G-P's secondhand smoke. Literally. Aside from carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons, monocyclic aromatic compounds, elemental carbon, inorganic sulfate and hydrocarbons, diesel emissions also contain carbon monoxide and formaldehyde; two chemicals found in cigarettes proven to cause lung cancer. G-P has given every assurance that the fumes are in no way harmful. But it wasn't long ago t h a t tobacco companies made similar claims about their product. Yet the use of diesel generators doesn't come without a price. Darby said G-P expects to appease regulations drafted by the State Department of Ecology (SDE) that would require the company to propose a plan of mitigation and would include an air modeling study completed late last month and sent to the SDE for approval. Darby said the report isn't publicly available. Darby assured residents that "G-P adheres to the law," and questioned the recent protests that stopped an informational meeting scheduled for last week, stating that protesters are "terribly misinformed." If protesters, seeking environmental competency from one of Bellingham's largest employers, are misinformed, maybe these people should be enlightened. Darby stated it's not G-P's duty to inform the public about the company's policies. Maybe he's right. But it seems that a company that impacts the lives of the surrounding community so much should divulge any information that affects the public voluntarily. After all, where would G-P be without the city's cooperation? Yet again, a community-conscious company remains 'rare. It seems in this case it's non-existent. Although little doubt exists that G-P adheres to the law, . the question remains whether or not G-P is doing what's best for those who buy the products, or for those who make them. I admire the right of anyone to stick a cigarette between their lips and in t he privacy of their car or home, but I have little tolerance for those who blow smoke in my face and tell me that there is nothing I can do about it. 'In short, Bellingham is suffering from G-P's secondhand smoke.

Fans, though, have noticed the absence of two of the team's most exciting players, Darnell Taylor and Brian "Yogi" Dennis. The men were suspended Jan. 31 for the remainder of the season after failing to meet the academic requirements to play. The catch is that both continue to receive athletic scholarships when reduced to nothing more than practice players. In essence, these guys continue to get free â€” or at least discounted â€” schooling when they failed to hold up their end of the bargain. This is unacceptable. Just more than 30 percent of Western's student athletes receive aid from the school for their time and commitment. While these players are deserving, many other deserving players must work jobs on top of grueling practice schedules just to afford tuition. Then they must fit time in to be students â€” the reason they're here in the first place. Why should athletes who cannot meet the requirements of an athletic scholarship â€” requirements they know about when they sign up â€” continue to get aid while other students don't? The justification behind such athletic scholarships is that schools make money off the athletes. Anyone who attends a football game, or even last night's game against Central, knows the American way of pimping our college students for the good of a dollar. Without this potential for profit, the argument could be made that student athletes should receive no special aid. After all, what job will allow a person to play basketball around his or her school schedule and to earn up to $10,000 of free schooling per year? Not many. The athletic department must either reconsider the way this money is allotted or not allow non- playing students to reap the financial rewards of a scholarship. Any student on academic scholarship could lose their funds for a low GPA. Why should it be any different for a student athlete? The answer is, it shouldn't. Taylor, Dennis or any other athlete in this situation shouldn't be kicked out of school. They should get the academic assistance they need to get their grades back up and be able to play. The athletic department must realize, though, that for the athletes, a scholarship is a privilege - not a right. It's not like these players were injured. They weren't barred from playing because of someone else's actions. They failed to make the grade. Taylor and Dennis are fabulous, exciting athletes who deserve every opportunity to regain their scholarships and play again for the Vikings. In the meantime, since they're not playing basketball, they shouldn't receive free schooling. Give that money to someone else. Share the wealth. Maybe after a taste of what it's really like to work their way through school, student athletes would value the benefit of a free education.

And we quote: "If we weren't able to promise exclusivity, (Sodexho-Marriott) would have to raise the price to account for the competition/' Kathleen Rich, director of university residences, in reference to Western's contract with Sodexho-Marriott. Intramural athletes should be mature, not act like children Andrea Abney COMMENTARY Who knew college students could be so immature? Western's campus recreation department, the place that coordinates intramural games for students, reported that referees have filed 25 incident reports so far this intramural season. Offenses range from shoving matches to fist fights, as well as good old referee bashing. "We lose about five refs every intramural season, and that's being conservative," intramural coordinator PJ McGuire said. Why do students who profess to be young adults think this is acceptable behavior? College students moan and groan about not being taken seriously as adults. At the same time, they act like 4-year-olds fighting over the next shot at the swing set. What gives athletes, many of them simply trying to relive their high school glory days, the right to act like washed-up primadonnas? As lame as it sounds, intramural games are for fun. They're not for students to go out and beat up on lesser players to make themselves feel better. They're not WWF S m a c k d o w n m a t c h e s . 111BI111III11111I They're meant for people who may not be good enough to play varisty sports. They're supposed to be for the enjoyment of the game. Student referees are just that â€” students trying to officiate a friendly game of basketball and pick up a little extra cash on the side. They don't deserve the name-calling and intimidation from athletes who think they're getting a bad call. 'What gives athletes, many of them simply trying to relive their high school glory days, the right to act like washed-up primadonnas? Student referees aren't professionals and they're not babysitters. Intramural athletes need to remember this little fact. The competition can get intense on a basketball court. Referees will screw up â€” they're not perfect. Intramural athletes need to realize that the things that count are the game, the relaxed atmosphere and the fun that comes with i n t r a m u r a l sports. Winning is great, but it's â€¢ not the only thing. Athletes need to accept the fact that, while the referees aren't professional, neither are they. These athletes aren't going to make it to the pros. They need to remember the meaning behind intramural games and to keep their emotions in check. Or, maybe they should just grow up and act like adults. America: clean-up your mess Laura Thoren COMMENTARY A war is raging in the Philippines. The people are fighting for t h e i r lives against toxins such as lead, mercury and other heavy metals seeping into the farmland and drinking water. This is what remains of Clark Air Force Base, once the largest military base outside the United States. Despite the United States' having to evacuate the base in 1991 when Mount Pinatubo erupted, it still seems clear America bears the responsibility of cleaning up the mess left from occupation. Many innocent people have lost their lives due to water poisoning or other neuro- ^,:^; Â« , â€ž^ logical disor- l i l l l l l l l l ^ i ll ders caused by these heavy metals. L a s t January, a U.S. News and World Report article stated t h a t shortly after the evacuation, health workers found increases in central nervous system disorders and other congenital birth defects. Past news reports of 'American policy on t h i s issue indicate the United States' 'It still seems clear America holds the unwillingness to assist in the cleanup of this waste. Why? The words that create the foundation of our country are "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." W i t h o u t i m p o s i n g responsibility in cleaning A m e r i c an ^ i ru s beliefs upon up the mess left from the F i l l i p i no occupation.' culture, it seems safe to say that they, too, respect and pursue life. The United States should not be the source of something that wreaks death and destruction upon a country; nor should it be unwilling to assist in cleaning up its own waste. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 16 - Page 15 ---------- February 16, 2001 ions The Western Front â€¢ 15 !|i gt;m|p}|^ERSli|g|l3| i^lStlflllBSIliiiB^Bi^Bli^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ISBlili^BlBiiiBiliiiHiS il^jp|^ii^lj|iiillHii^^i I l l l l S^ iiHlliBiiiiiipiHiiiilpiiiirti iipiiiiiliialiiiliiilllil â€¢nHBBBRHH lpi^Â£t|oS /dicisioSw^ ;lcl| in^ | Â§ e ^ | | i j^ â€¢lopersLt^^ 5; mafes^lie asKarried. that ariiinstitutioii where I-;â€¢spend yeaars of mylife could be so close-minded and exclusive to the students' needs.

"The police officer pulled me over because my brights were on," Fleming said. "Four days later, I was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol." 'There is no difference between somebody firing a gun randomly into the street and getting behind a 3,000-pound bullet with a drunken idiot for a driver.' Lt. Dae Jamison Bellingham Police Dept. In 1998, one-third of all vehicle fatalities were connected to alcohol. "Driving under the influence is not acceptable," Bellingham Police Lt. Dae Jamison said. "We take it very seriously. "There is no difference between somebody firing a westernfront IBlllilBiiilil gun randomly into the street and getting behind a 3,000- pound bullet with a drunken idiot for a driver." In 1999, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit was lowered from .10 to .08. percent The BAC is the ratio of alcohol to blood and is measured by a test of one's breath or blood. More than 1.4 million drinking and driving citations are issued in the United States each year. "The most important thing to do is talk to an attorney as soon as possible," Whatcom County public defender Dan Norman said. "Many people lose the rights that they have because they don't act fast enough." A first-time offender can expect a court arraignment, within a few days. During an arraignment, offenders are advised of their rights and are asked to plead guilty or not guilty. "Always plead not guilty," Norman said. "It can't be used against you in court, and it allows time to talk to a lawyer." Offenders must then choose a judge or jury trial. "Juries are going to be much less forgiving," Norman said. Trials usually are scheduled three to six months after the arraignment. "I wish I would have taken it to court," Fleming said. "I didn't know that I could." Offenders are subject to one year in jail, $8,000 in fines, a one-year license suspension, multiple drug and alcohol assessments and five years of probation. Non-legal penalties can include a 400-500 percent increase in car insurance, license fees and possible discriminatory action in the workplace. "Whenever you mix alcohol and people, you are bound to have conflict," Jamison said. "People need to know their limits. Plan on going to clubs with a designated driver and don't bring your car keys. "And make sure before you go downtown you figure out the streets. There is nothing more obvious that a driver is drunk than driving the wrong way on a one-way street."

The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 124 Issue 14 Bellingham, Washington Bellingham residents protest Iraq war Global mictions focd Reactions By Keith Boiling THE WESTERN FRONT Although the act of war is not productive, rebuilding from the aftermath of armed combat can solve problems, Bellingham resident Bob Luitweiki, 84, said. He was one of the 250 antiwar supporters gathered Friday at the weekly Whatcom Peace Vigil outside the Federal Building at the intersection of Cornwall Avenue and West Magnolia Street to protest the potential war with Iraq. This intersection has been the location of protests since 1967 when Bellingham residents Rosemary and Howard Harris began using the location for silent vigils to protest the Vietnam War. Howard Harris still regularly attends the Friday night vigils, said Jamie K Donaldson, coordinator of the Whatcom Peace and Justice Center. Since Sept. 11, local residents take to the intersection for weekly peace vigils. The num- "bef-of people attending the vigils has been rising, and the crowd on Friday was one of the largest turnouts in years, Donaldson said. X_"People got over their fears and have come out in record numbers to voice their opinions," Donaldson said. Many of the protesters said they have been coming to the Peace Vigils for years and are very adamant about solving conflicts with nonviolent solutions. Luitweiki, who was imprisoned for two years after refusing to serve in World War II, said he believes the United States has no reason.to fight a war with Iraq. "The First World War was to end all wars, the Second World War was to save democracy," Luitweiki said. "But I don't know what the slogan will be for this war, maybe 'Keep our cars running.'" Approximately 50 Western students and faculty attended the protest. "(Protesting) is partially a right, but it's also a civil duty to come out and show your: support," Western senior Melissa Whitman said. "More people shguld get put and express their â€¢ beliefs and stop being so"* a p a ^ thetic. I think people are ^sthT unaware of what is going oil a t ' the global level." Even the young protesters did not support President Bush's policy on war. "I just don't like fighting," Max Evans, 6, said. "I think we should go to the president and say 'No war."' â€¢_ See PROTEST, Page 4 Keith Boiling/The Western Front Bellingham resident Anna Evans holds her daughter Lucy Evans, 4, at the weekly Whatcom Peace Vigil on Friday.

Standoff near 1-5 ends with man's arrest By Abiah Weaver THE WESTERN FRONT A three-hour standoff ended last night when the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department apprehended a man suspected of shooting at a deputy earlier, in the afternoon just off Interstate 5 near South Lake Samish. Ronald Hannan, a 64-year-old Bellingham resident, surrendered hours after allegedly firing a handgun at an officer investigating a damaged motor home at approximately 3 p.m., said Jeff Parks, Whatcom County Sheriff's Department chief. The deputy was not harmed by the gunfire. "The deputy heard shots and saw branches moving," Parks said. "The suspect then retreated to his residence. We tried to get in contact with him, but he was on the phone with a relative for a long time." I ; ^ e p u t ^ hehd Hannah".vwhien.he ?left his residence on Pacific Highway later in the evening, but when he refused to cooperate, they barricaded Nulle Road, east of 1-5 near Exit 242. After Hannan drove over the tire spikes, Parks said Hannan See ARREST, Page 3 Bush's proposed budget polarizes debate of political parties ^usA ^ E c o n o m i c P o l i c y By Krystal Ann Miller THE WESTERN FRONT President Bush recently unveiled a new budget proposing more than $1 trillion in tax cuts at the risk of enlarging the deficit and cutting funding to several domestic programs. One of the areas affected by the new budget is local law enforcement. Democrats and republicans are split on the new budget's long-and short-term effects. Keeping the streets safe Lt. Craige Ambrose of the Bellingham Police Department said some cities, including Bellingham, may no longer receive Community Oriented Policing Services grants. COPS grants, which the Clinton administration started in 1995, were used to fund specific programs for police departments and to recruit and train new police officers for up to three years. COPS grants were also used to fund programs that place officers on bikes and in schools. "We have some officers tied into the COPS grants," Ambrose said. "But that doesn't mean that the officers will go away when the grant is up." Ambrose said the BPD will keep the same number of officers, but other police departments around the nation could be preparing for layoffs. He also said the BPD treated the COPS grants as temporary funding, giving the government time .to prepare to take over the costs of employing the new officers when the grant expired. "Hopefully departments out there did not put themselves in the position where they would experience big losses," he said. Political consequences The tax cuts proposed in the $2.23 trillion budget would increase the projected $199 billion deficit to more than $300 billion. When the federal government spends more money than it generates through tax revenue and is then funded by borrowing from financial markets, it creates a deficit. Western economics professor Julie Hansen said a deficit does not necessarily bring disaster for the country's economy. "Deficits may be a good thing if it's part of an economic recovery," Hansen said. "By increasing government spending and/or decreasing taxes, it's a means of stimulating the economy." Within the new budget, Bush has ordered income tax cuts with a focus on a plan to end See BUDGET, Page 4 Sodexho sales tax higher than competing stores Keith Boiling/The Western Front Western senior and student manager Jessica Chudek gives change to a customer in the Viking Union last month. By Sarah Loehndorf THE WESTERN FRONT Western students, faculty and staff pay more for food in campus stores than they would in local grocery stores because of Sodexho's sales tax policy. Any business that sells food is required to differentiate between items sold in its store with sales tax when it reports its profits to the state, according to Washington Administrative Code. If a business chooses not to separate the costs, it is required to charge the 8.2 percent sales tax on all items. Sodexho has chosen to charge sales tax on all food items bought with cash in its retail stores on campus. "They're not breaking any laws," said Mike Gowrylow, communications manager for the Washington State Department of Revenue. "It means that people who shop at on-campus stores will be paying sales tax on items that they wouldn't be if they bought it off campus." . Nori Yamashita, general manager of Western Dining Services, said the. way he interprets the tax code, Sodexho is required to charge sales tax oft all cash sales of food items. Tve been here for 14 years, and we have always collected tax on all cash retail items," Yamashita said. "We are looking at the tax code to see how it applies-to what we do on campus. There is some vagueness that we need to clear up." Gowrylow said Washington voters passed an initiative in the '70s that exempted food from sales tax. Taxable food includes carbonated beverages, bottled water and food that is prepared with a food handler's permit, such as sub sandwiches. Most food on the shelves of grocery stores is not taxed. "On the face, this is fairly unusual because more businesses segregate sales between items subject to sales tax," Gowrylow said. "They charge when they should and don't charge when they See TAXES, Page 4 For news tips, call (360) 650- 3162 or e-mail The Western Front at wfront@cc.wwu.edu www.westernfrontonline.com Please recycle ---------- Western Front 2003 March 04 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ The Western Front News March 4, 2003 IHliBiiiiiiillillllllllllli â€¢â€¢^^PHff March 2, 1:40 p.m.: A vehicle prowler in Parking Lot 16 ^HI^^BiiiHHipiiMpil ||||p^j||ii||||||HlSISlllB iiH^iiiiill^i^HiHiHBI ^HIHiJBllHHHHiilillS j l l ^ ^ l ^ l l l l l l ^ ^ l l l ^ l l l ll IKIBlBBBBIilM^Sl Compiled by Colin McDonald Do you think it is hypocritical that Bush cuts birth control funding overseas, yet plans to give 15 billion to AIDS research over the next five years?

INTERNATIONAL NEWS 9-year-old receives abortion after rape The parents and doctors will not face charges after performing an abortion on a 9-year-old Nicaraguan girl. The girl was raped in Costa Rica four months ago by a 20- year-old man. Three children testified in seeing the man having sex with the girl on three different occasions. The abortion, which was performed on Feb. 20, made the attorney general investigate the legalities of the procedure. The rapist was arrested in Costa Rica, and his DNA is being tested to see if it matches that of the aborted fetus.

Linda Gale, Hannan's neighbor, said he often shot handguns in the woods surrounding their neighborhood. "He'd shoot anytime, day or night," she said. "If you complained, he would just shoot more. He was careless about it, doing it so close to houses. He was the bad apple of gun owners." Parks said deputies took Hannan to St. Joseph Hospital following the arrest to be treated for minor cuts. Hannan will be booked into Whatcom County Jail following his release from the hospital on suspicion of first-degree assault, Parks said. An investigation is pending to determine if Hannan was involved in the damage to the motor home. New dorms needed for housing By Bonnie Coe The Western Front Despite the vacant apartments and houses surrounding campus, incoming Western freshmen prefer to live on campus, said Willy Hart, associate director of University Residences. "There is a whole social aspect of living in a dorm," Western freshman Abra Klin-ger said. "I wanted to be in a residence hall to meet people and for the proximity." University Residences plans to construct two new residence halls in an effort to accommodate an average increase of 130 to 140 more students per year. The first building, located below Ridgeway Gamma, will open in 2009 and cost an estimated $8.8 million to build, Hart said. The second building, to be located somewhere near Fairhaven College, will open in 2011 and cost an estimated $4.7 million. Hart said even with all of the apartments and houses in the surrounding area, off-campus housing is not what first-year students want. Western's Birnam Wood apartments have not filled to capacity during the past 4 to 5 years because students want to live in a dormitory atmosphere, Hart said. Klinger said she would advise freshmen to live on campus for the social aspect. Western junior Shawna Munson, who has lived on campus for the past three years, said she thinks the residence halls are a good starting point for freshmen who are living on their own for the first time. 'You are leaving an atmosphere where people are always supervising you," Munson said. "Residence halls provide a good transition into responsibility and independence." Sandi Jones, property manager for Ebright-Wight Property Management, said -she would have concerns if the university started providing housing for the general campus population and not just first-year students. "If freshmen need supervised housing, that is one issue," Jones said. "If it is just a lack of housing, (University Residences) should work with the private sector." The cost of living rate for a double room and gold meal plan is $5,648 for the academic year in the dorms and the rate for a triple room is $4,886, according to Western's Web site. On a monthly basis, these rates are approximately $627 and $543 respectively. Jones said the average rent for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment or three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment near campus is approximately $700 and $1,000 respectively. Western plans to expand the number of residence facilities by 250 beds, including the two new buildings and the conversion of nearly 100 rooms from double to triple occupancy during the next 10 years. 'Two hundred fifty beds over the next 10 years should be easily absorbed by the private sector," Jones said. "(That amount) is really quite minimal."

Bush also plans to accelerate the 2001 income tax cuts, making the previous tax cuts effective sooner than originally planned and putting money in the hands of consumers ready to spend it. The dividend tax elimination, however, would only directly affect approximately 20 percent of households that own stocks independently rather than owning stocks through a retirement or investment fund such as a 40 IK. Democrats were eager to attack Bush's budget, saying the proposed tax cuts would only benefit the wealthy and lead to larger deficits. After Bush's State of the Union address unveiled t he budget, Senate Democratic leader Tom Daschle, D- S.D., joined Gov. Gary Locke and other Democrats in criticizing Bush's plan. He said despite Bush's promises to run a strong economy, he has failed to live up to them. "The result of two years of his effort have been 2 million jobs lost, a deficit of now $400 billion, a plummeting stock market and 1 million people without unemployment insurance compensation," Daschle said, as reported by The Seattle Times on Jan. 28. The Democrats' proposal to temporarily cut payroll taxes paid by employees would stimulate the economy by boosting the after-tax income of employees for a short amount of time, Hansen said. "The thinking behind the payroll tax cut is to put money in the hands of people who are most likely to spend it," she said. Hansen also said the payroll tax cut would last only two or three months, stimulating the short-run economy. 'The concern right now is with the long-run financial picture," she said. Political science professor Todd Donovan said historically no evident pattern exists in voter approval that can prove the deficit is an important issue. He said unemployment and domestic security is more crucial. "There was really no political fallout from the deficit in the '80s," Donovan said. "Economically, it's hard for voters to perceive how the deficits affect their pocketbook." Protest: Residents find numerous methods to express anti-war views Continued from Page 1 After attending many protests and having no access to signs, Bellingham resident Kerry Johnson decided to sell signs, buttons and bumper stickers at the Friday protests. "The more signs, bumper stickers and pins that are out there will help to IH^IBIHII change consciousness," Johnson said. l1 never used to go to protests, but this issue rallied me. I thought about it, did some reading and it just didn't make sense." Other protesters agreed that a major problem is a lack of public involvement. "The basic problem is that the American public is . passive," Luitweiki said. "(The war) isn't all Bush's fault â€” he was born that way â€” but the public lets the government walk all over them. Luckily, Bush is shaking the lethargy out of the people." Many anti-war protesters went not only to oppose the war, but also to pro- | pose alternative ways to solve the conflicts in Iraq.

My hands immediately started sweating uncontrollably as I applied a death grip to the yoke of the small Cessna 150. I had never flown an airplane before and certainly did not expect to fly one today, but flying was easier than I expected it to be. It is similar to driving a car, only with a few extra directions to pay attention to. Huartson's expert instruction made me feel calm and confident as we sped along at 120 mph, although my hands never stopped sweating. Flying 2,200 feet above northern Whatcom County makes it easy to under:- stand why Fred Khutzen, the owner of Bellingham Aero Flight School and Pilot Supplies, and flight instructors Cal Huartson and Joe .Young have dedicated 46 combined years of their lives to flying. It is smooth and relaxing, with no traffic and no frantic cpmmuters making inappropriate lane changes in a desperate attempt to get tjirough that yellow traffic light half a block away â€” and the view is amazing. 'You get in that airplane, take off and there's nobody on your butt tailgating. There are beautiful vistas all around you. It's freedom'. Rick Vreeke Bellingham Aero Flight School student Keith Boiling/The Western Front Flight instructor Joe Young powers down an airplane after returning from a trip at Bellingham Aero Flight School. Young is one of three instructors. "You get in that airplane, take off and there's nobody on your butt tailgating," said Rick Vreeke, Lynden resident and flight school student. "There are beautiful vistas all around you. It's freedom." Bellingham Aero offers flight training and runs a ground school program with Bellingham Technical College. The school also rents out its planes arid sells pilot supplies such as headsets. Customers with pilot licenses can pay $59 per hour to rent a single-engine, two-seat Cessna 150 or $79 per hour for a single- engine, four-seat Cessna 172. Customers without pilot licenses can take chauffeured scenic flights for $119 an hour. Becoming a pilot can take a long time, and students, are encouraged to commit to the process, Huartson said. The Federal Aviation Association requires students to fly a minimum of 20 hours with an instructor and 20 hours solo to receive a private pilot certificate. Private pilots can fly anywhere in the world and carry passengers, though they cannot be hired by passengers. Most students spend an average of 70 hours in the air before passing the required FAA test, Huartson said. The final test is given by an FAA flight examiner and consists of an oral exam arid a flight that lasts approximately 90 minutes. Students go to ground school three hours per week for three months. The program teaches FAA rules and regulations, safe flying and prepares students to pass a 60- question multiple-choice exam with a grade of 70 percent or better, Huartson said. He said he recommends students go to ground school while receiving flight instruction because it helps them apply the principles they learn on the ground to what they do in the air. Vreeke flew his first solo flight on Jan. 10. He said it was one of the most exciting and nerve-wracking experiences of his life., "Your first solo Keith Boiling/The Western Front Fred Knutzen, owner of Bellingham Aero Flight School, stands behind the sales counter as he chats with other pilots about the wind conditions. flight ranks with getting married," Vreeke said.

He said he was not able to finish ground school while he was in the Navy, and college, marriage and'children prevented him from going back as soon as he would have liked. "This is my third attempt," he said. "The average student is 45 years old; sometimes it takes that long to be able to afford it." It costs approximately $3,800 to get a private pilot certificate based on the 40- hour minimum. The time it takes varies on how often students fly and how many hours they spend in training. If students can fly two times a week, they can get their certificate in as few as five months, Huartson said. Weather determines how often students can fly, he said. The FAA requires students to stay away from clouds: 500 feet below, 1,000 feet above or 2,000 horizontal feet away. Huartson said students can practice landing procedures on overcast days if i t is possible to stay 500 feet below the clouds. . The school instructors' most important goal is teaching students how to fly safely, Huartson said. "The key component of learning how to fly is learning how to fly safe," he said. Before taking off, Huartson used a small manual fuel-testing gauge to check the fuel level in the small green and white Cessna 150. "Most crashes are fuel-related," Huartson said. "People rely on fuel gauges to be reliable, and sometimes they are not." Manually checking the quantity and quality of an airplane's fuel and oil is required before students fly at Bellingham Aero, Huartson said. The manual testing gauge shows how much fuel is in the tank and whether the fuel contains any water or oil. Water and oil in the fuel is bad. "If you fly in an unfamiliar airplane, you can't trust the instruments," Young said. Vreeke said he feels more comfortable as a pilot of a small plane than he does as a passenger in a jumbo jet. "It's the control," Vreeke said. "I don't like to sit in the back. When you're flying, you have all the training and know what you can do." Huartson said relating flying to other hobbies like golf, sports and music helps students relax and feel more comfortable in the air. He said he wants students to learn to fly by looking at their surroundings and watching the horizon before they learn to rely on a plane's instruments, which can be overwhelming at first. "We want you to learn how to fly by the seat of your pants," he said. Landing is the most difficult part of flying, Huartson said. Small Cessna planes are built for training and regularly inspected by the FAA. Flying is not very dangerous, even if a student bounces a landing, he said. Most accidents and fatalities in small planes are caused by mistakes made by the pilot, not problems with the plane,Vreeke said. After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania, pilots experienced air space restrictions, students dropped out of flight schools and many instructors, including Huartson, quit teaching, he said. Enrollment has increased since then, and Huartson decided to start teaching again after Bellingham Aero opened in October 2002. "We're doing way better than we ever imagined starting out," Huartson said. "I come to work with a smile on my face. It's something I love doing, and I hated being away from it." ---------- Western Front 2003 March 04 - Page 7 ---------- gt; March 4, 2003 Features The Western Front â€¢ 7 in Western junior uses the Intej^t to take on administrators in protection ^^mokers9 rights By Matt McDonald The Western Front After Western tightened its restrictions for on-campus smoking at the beginning of the 2002-03 school year, Western junior Erik Home decided he was fed up with being forced to smoke in isolated areas. Home, who smokes approximately 15 cigarettes every day, is studying to become a substance abuse counselor through Western's psychology department. Though people living around him have called him a hypocrite, he said being a smoker does not compare to his experience with drug addiction. Home said he drank excessively during his sophomore year, and once he realized his .problem, he suffered from severe withdrawl. Now Home has designed a Web site that defends the rights of smokers whose drug of choice is nowhere near as harmful as alcohol and other narcotics, he said. "Smokers are the only minority -which discrimination is not ^nly legaly -'but ericouraged,'' SHomie^SdSiJ'na'-Mot prtinoting - smoking, I'm fighting discrimination, and if I don't speak up, who will?" He said he stands up for smokers' rights because he believes Western and other forms of authority should spend less time enforcing restrictions on smoking and more time on addictive drugs that hurt a majority of Americans, like alcohol. Western prohibits smoking.in and around all dorms except for in designated areas that are poorly lit, not sheltered from , rain, and do not provide ashtrays, Home said. Kay Rich, director of University Residences, said the university does not provide ashtrays in all smoking areas because the existing ashtrays are not used properly and Western staff have to pick up the mess. "When it was being debated, many people- said smokers should be responsible for their mess," Rich said. Western freshman Fiona Bond is a smoker who struggles with the new smoking restrictions. She said she wishes she attended Western before the rules. "It is people's right to smoke where they want to smoke," Bond said. "If you are paying this much money to live in the dorms and are 18, you should be able to smoke in the dorms if you want to." When Home signed up to live in the dorms lastly ear, .he knew smoking inside the dorms was banned, but he had no idea that smoking in the courtyard and balconies in Fairhaven, where he lives, was also not allowed. Instead of moving out, he chose to fight the smoking restrictions, he said. Home began his fight in April Matt McDonald/The Western Front Western junior Erik Home smokes a cigarette in one of the permitted smoking areas in the Fairhaven courtyard, wishing he was smoking in his room. Home said he has to walk to isolated areas without ash trays on campus in order to comply with Western's restrictions. 2002 by starting a petition that- Web site have been put into pla|e 462^Westerft~^udeift^^^ rights JitjJ b ^ i l d ^ o v l i r ^ l ^ or^at least obtain mofÂ§Â§ outside so people would have a dry place to smoke. Rich looked over the petition, but said it would be too costly for students, and the money would be taken away from other areas, â„¢ such as the dining halls. "The rationale Tm not promoting smok-behind banning ingf I'm fighting discrimi-smoking in the . f . - , , , residence halls natlon gt; and lfl don t was primarily speak Up, who will?' Erik Home Western junior and smoker advocate motivated based on health and concerns regarding second- hand smoke," Rich said. "Therefore, it seemed inconsistent to turn around and build shelters for something that a lot of research shows to be detrimental to a person's health." Home said the petition did not have any impact on Western administrators, so he tried another approach. He spent more than 500 hours creating a Web site named www.smoking-permitted. com. Western freshman Darron Tanchuk, a friend of Home's, helped pass out fliers on campus about the site. "Erik is a technical genius and spent so many hours on this Web page to stand up for a group of people he believes are treated unfairly," Tanchuk said. The Smoking Permitted Web site contains 11 topics, including the Smoking Permitted Bar Grill, a chat room for smokers and a directory of smokers designed to help find people to smoke within permitted smoking areas.

He is also trying to educate others about the problems of alcohol as a recovering alcoholic. drink or three once in a while, and if you can do so without problems, there is nothing wrong with it," Home said. "No, smoking is not good for you, but neither are hamburgers. Tobacco smoking should be filed under the same category as hamburger eating to distinguish them clearly from the real harm caused by real drug addictions that occurs with alcohol, heroin and other powerful psychoactive drugs." Home said people should be aware -of substances, such as alcohol, that are truly harmful. Alcohol withdrawl caused him to suffer "like a month-long hangover." His ears would ring, and he said it was impossible to read or watch television. He also had terrible insomnia. "My worst symptom is a change of personality," Home said. "I feel like I'm in a dream 24 hours a day. I've been on all' kinds of antidepressants to try to undo what the alcohol did, but I'm still just a shadow of my former self." Home said drinking alcohol can take lives by over consumption, and a drunk driver can take a life at any point in time, so Western should pay more attention to things like alcohol and drugs. Home said the danger of alcohol is why he has done the things he has â€” to show people air Matt McDonald /The Western Front Erik Home updates his smokers advocate Web site. Home has spent more than 500 hours preparing information and a message board for the site. should have that certain substance regulations actually prevent nothing while horrible travesties take place because society turns the other way in the face of a true problem. "Tobacco does take a few years off your life, but did you ever hear of someone killing an innocent child because he was driving a car under the influence of tobacco?" Home said. "Have you ever heard of someone missing class because of tobacco? Lack of attention towards other drugs by Western and the U.S. is ridiculous." #Â£?

Classes meet two times a week for three weeks at the Aqua Sports and Bike pool on West Maplewood Avenue. Students must also complete two ocean dives in two days to earn the certificate. Scuba diving lets people explore areas they have never seen before, Flake said. After learning to adapt to the underwater environment, the students' next task is to accomplish neutral buoyancy, Mossey said. "Neutral buoyancy means the body is completely weightless, neither ascending (to the surface) nor sinking (to the bottom)," he said. Once divers attain balance underwater, they will be able to reach zero gravity, which means the diver is floating in water, Mossey said. NASA astronauts and scientists compare scuba diving to being in space, he said. "Any quick movement will result in the entire body moving," Flake said. "If you push someone, you will fall backward." This may seem strange since scuba divers must carry approximately 50 to 75 pounds of equipment, Mossey said. Scuba equipment consists of a mask, flippers, wet or dry suit, oxygen tank, breathing regulator and buoyancy control device, he said. The equipment can cost up to $150. If a diver wants to enroll in an open-water curriculum course, they must purchase books that cost $99. The curriculum also consists of open- water classes that cost $199, Flake said. "Once the diver has received certification as an open-water scuba diver, they are able to dive anywhere in the world," said Jeff Reinke, Aqua Sports and Bike co- owner. Divers will not need to go far because the Northwest is known for having world-renowned dive spots, he said. Some popular Northwest dive locations include the coasts of Vancouver, Lopez and San Juan Islands, Mossey said. In these areas, the waters are not polluted and the natural marine environment is vibrant with color, Reinke said. "Even Jacques Cousteau said his second Tyson Lin/The Western Front Jason Flake, Aqua Sports and Bike co-owner (left) and master scuba diving trainer, instructs scuba students Staci May and Audra Waller about safety skills at the Aqua Sports and Bike pool in Bellingham. favorite place to dive in the world was in the (Vancouver Islands)," Reinke said. The Northwest has lots of places to dive, but divers need to be safe and understand their depth limits, Flake said. "As a recreational dive shop, we do not go deeper than 100 feet," he said. Flake and Mossey said although they have dived deeper than 100 feet, they tell their students and open-water certified divers to apply safety precautions and check-ups to their equipment before going out on dives. "You must know your physical and gear limits," Mossey said. Once people understand how to be safe, they will be able to see and explore the vast regions of the world, Flake said. "Two-thirds of the world is water, and if you want to say that you've seen the world, then you need to be underneath the water," Reinke said. EARLY ENTRY FOR WWU STUDENTS!

Western and Central Washington University have been playing each other in men's basketball since the 1907-08 season when both were still "Normal Schools" for educating teachers. This year, neither team appears to be playoff-bound, but when the rivalry tips off for the 225th time at 7 p.m. on ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Wednesday, Carver Gym -â„¢i M*^ will be in a frenzy.

Because of the intense rivalry between the two schools, Carver Gym is always at or close to its capacity of 3,100 fans when Central visits, Western senior center Mike Palm said. "Everybody who never goes to a basketball game goes to the Central game," Palm said. Palm said fans get more energized for the Central game, and the fan support is often the deciding factor in the game. "You get a lot more confidence when the crowd is going crazy and everyone is behind you," Palm said. "It's like our sixth man." Western has a record of 14-11 overall and 8-8 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference, while Central has a record of 15-10 overall and 9-7 in the GNAC.

' I t will be good to play them and give them a little payback from earlier this year." Central defeated Western 82-61 on Dec. 7 in Ellensburg while Burrell and Western senior forward Nehemiah Campbell were serving suspensions for NCAA violations involving the purchase of textbooks. "I feel that they won when we were wounded and they didn't play a fully loaded team like we are right now," Campbell said. "We definitely gotta give them a dose of the full squad." Western junior Steve Nichols "said the atmosphere in games against Central is more lively than other games. "We get good crowds here and there, but it's never as rowdy as the Central game," Nichols said. "It's the rivalry, and everyone wants to get into the grill of Central players." Western senior Brad Hendrickson said he rarely goes to games, but always makes sure he is at the Central games. 'You take pride in your school, especially when you know you have an opponent that hates you^as much as you hate them," Hendrickson said. "It's what college sports is about." Western's three seniors, Palm, Campbell and reserve center Chris Stevens, will be honored in a pre- game ceremony. Palm said he could not ask for a better game to have on senior night. "The only thing that matters from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock on that day is if we beat Central," Palm said.

In reality, they spend two or three of those years .cramming material into their heads, which leaves as soon as the final exam hits the professor's desk. For years, incoming students have criticized general university requirements, which require them to take between 70 and 87 credits â€” almost half the 180 credits needed to graduate â€” in everything from linguistics to philosophy. In 2001, t he Academic Coordinating Commission recommended Western create a General Education Task Force to revise the credit load, range and rationality of the general education program. Two proposed models to change GURs will go to the ACC for review this spring. The members of the ACC must accept Model I because it is superior to Model II. Students must take approximately the same number of credits in both models â€” 58 versus 54 â€” and preliminary cost analysis indicates that both cost the same. Model I is better because it is easier to understand. Model I breaks requirements into two categories: competencies and content. Competencies includes English 101, math/quantitative reasoning and another writing course. Content includes humanities, natural sciences, social sciences, creative expression â€” such as theater, music or art â€” and three to five credits of course work outside a student's major during the junior or senior year. Model II, on the other hand, introduces the strand and the cluster. Students are required to take some of the courses from the competencies or content areas in a sequential, three quarter strand during their freshman year and in a one-quarter course cluster during their sophomore year. Model II also includes freshman seminars, similar to present freshman interest groups, taught by faculty across the campus. FIGs are unnecessary because students do not need interest groups to pursue their interests. FIGs also limit students' schedules because FIG classes compete for times with other classes students might want to take. Model I is also better because it counts credits; Model II counts courses. With Model II, students probably would pick the courses with lower credit levels in order to finish their GURs faster. This would result in packed lower-credit classes and virtually empty higher-credit classes in the same discipline. Some might argue that Model II is better because it requires fewer credits. But Model II only requires four fewer credits â€” usually one class â€” which is hardly enough to outweigh that model's shortcomings. The members of the ACC should select Model I so that students will not be subjected to the inconvenience of Model II.

I hadn't thought of that one." - Presidential hopeful Carol Moseley Braun, when asked what she majored in during college. Arming pilots is unsafe, unacceptable Ben Brockhaus-Hall COMMENTARY Commercial airline pilots should not be allowed to carry handguns in the cockpit because too many risks are involved. Better options exist to help reduce the likelihood of hijackings, such as bulletproof doors and more air marshals. The Transportation Security Administration announced a plan last week that would allow pilots to carry guns in the cockpit during commercial flights after completing a training program. According to the Associated Press, Congress has not given the agency any of the requested $20 million to run a large- scale program. The TSA, however, put together $500,000 to test the program. Mistakes are easily made with guns. A poorly aimed bullet could go astray and damage electrical wiring, affect air pressure inside the plane or hit innocent passengers. Approximately 1,500 accidental deaths caused by firearms occur each year in America, according to a July 15, 2002 Seattle Post-Intelligencer article. Nobody ever means for accidents to happen, ..vâ€žm r m m . w m m ^ ^ v m r m i t , ^ ^t but they do. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ The people flying commercial air-crafts are pilots, not soldiers. Guns are dangerous and not necessary to stop terrorists. Moreover, if a hijacker were to get ahold of one of these guns on the plane, it would be even harder to stop him or her. People for and against pilots having guns in the cockpits are all supportive of the common goal to stop hijackings. As long as hijackings are prevented, everyone will be satisfied. The 'The people flying com mercial aircrafts are pilots, not soldiers'. best way to do this is not to arm pilots, but to invest in alternative safety methods, which could easily be put into effect. Requiring bulletproof doors on cockpits is one possible way to stop hijackers. Although this would add to the cost of plane production, it should be required on all commercial jets. With the bulletproof doors, terrorists would be kept out of the cockpit, allowing pilots to land the plane safely and quickly. It takes only 20 minutes, sometimes even less, to execute an emer-landing of a domestic according to a June 6, gency flight, 2002 Washington Post article. Although the number is growing, only approximately 1,000 air marshals patrol the 30,000 daily flights in the United States, according to the Seattle Post- Intelligencer. Rather than arming pilots, more armed air marshals should be trained and hired.

Or as a "chalker" recently scrawled on the side of Bond Hall: "If politics don't turn you on, politics will turn on you." Politics has turned on us. We live in the age of diminished expectation. As a generation, we do not expect to do as well as our parents because we face greater job insecurity, endless re-training, exploding debt and skyrocketing health care costs for ourselves, our parents and our children. These crises are not inevitable. Vast resources that could improve our health care and educational systems, which could make owning a home more than a shallow, empty dream for millions of young Americans, are now being squandered on war and empire.

Anyone who survives an attempted terrorist attack will probably agree that spending some extra money on in-flight protection is worth it. Rather than spending money on pilot defense training and firearms, the government should put the money toward hiring more air marshals and improving airport security.

First Baptist Church of Bellingham has served people in Whatcom County since 1883. Since then, especially in the last 30 years, it seems that more and more people know less and less about Jesus Christ. Lately, our world has been rocked by tragedy and scandal. Pastors Jay Smith and Jeff Flint invite Western students to come to First Associate Pastor Jeff Flint an authentic Christian. First Baptist Church of Bellingham offers ministries in which Western students may participate, including: College Bible studies, Worship ministries, Prayer Ministry, Awana (Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed), "We Care Corps," Life Groups and Mission Teams. We all need a rock to stand on: a shelter to protect us from today's waves of negative change. First Baptist encourages students to rely on Jesus Christ as their "rock" - a safe haven Baptist Church to discover what it means to be from which to navigate the waves of change.

The Puget Sound Blood Center in association with the WhatcomCounty Medical Society Alliance set up shop in the Old Main Registration Center and invited studentsto donate blood May 3 and 4. Volunteers from the Whatcom County Medical Society Alliance stoodby to offer juice and cookies to the students and to assist students or faculty if they became nauseous. Nearly 190 students donated apint of blood apiece this quarter â€” as opposed to only 150 studentswinter quarter. More than 10 beds were in use at times by donors for the Puget Sound Blood Center. No problems were reported with students fainting or becoming ill. Kristina Castro, sophmore, felt "a littletired" after donating her share, but said she felt it was important for her to do. "When I was a baby, Iwas really sick one time, and I was at a hospital where I couldn't get any blood,"she said. "I know about people who are in that position, and I'm just trying to help." Blood from donations goes to the PugetSound Blood Center in downtown Seattle at Terry Avenue and Madison Avenue. The blood is thentested for HTY and hepatitis; before being used in transfusions and other bloodproducts, such asplasma. The blood products and blood are then distributed to local hospitals in the Northwest area.Front/Mary-Belton Scurry Louisa Manson holds her arm up in an effort to not get a bruise from givingblood. Neon donated to the VRI By Noah Walden Front reporter The sign standing just outside ofSeattle reads "ZEV zoneâ€”next lOmiles." So drivers flip a switch on their dash and their car's engineswitch to electricâ€”making the car a zero-emissions vehicle that hums smoothly down the road. This is the goal of the members of the Vehicle Research Institute (VRI), which will soon receive a new ChryslerNeon for the purpose of converting it into a viable consumer car with zero-emissions capability. "It'sflame red," said VRI director and founder Michael Seal of the car. "That's about all we know about it sofar." Chrysler will give away 12 1995 Neons for use in a competition sponsored by the U.S. autoindustry. The cars will be given to universities with alternative-fuel vehicle programs in the United Statesand Canada. The 12 schools will compete in about a year. Western was the only U.S. West Coastschool chosen, which could be a big advantage â€” it will allow VRI to tap into California's financialresources in the absence of any California competitor. The focus of this project is different from otherVRI projects such as the Viking 21 and 23. Two Western students are responsible for getting the car."We want to prove to the general public and the automotive industry that a reliable hybrid-electric vehiclecould be made and sold," said Richard Riels, who co-wrote the proposal with Edward West. "We want to prove that our design is the best." "We can' t expect it (the Neon) to have quite the performance as ourrace cars," Seal said. Unlike the Viking race cars, the Neon will See Neon, page 3 Changes may be instore for RSVP By Mary-Belton Scurry Front reporter The change to touch-tone registration (RSVP) has been a successful way for students to register for classes â€” but it still has its problems. The Dean'sAdvisory Council members heard suggestions for improving or eliminating RSVP problems at ameeting last month. The current registration system records only one major, so students who havedouble majors can only get priority registration for one of their majors. Last quarter, access codeswere given to double majors because a less complicated solution has yet to See RSVP, page 3Speaker to discuss health care reform By Mary-Belton Scurry Front reporter Health Care Reform andHealth Promotion will be the subject of a talk by Dr. Richard P.

As chair of the American College Health Association's Task Force on HTV Disease since 1985, Keeling is a consultant on health issues for a plethora of colleges, universities, public and independent schools, among other institutions. "Dr. Keeling's speeches help people understand health from a broader, deeper perspective. He useshighly vivid, visual images from the everyday media to show how they affect our daily decisions," saidEric Engrstrom, Keeling's business manager. "His focus goes beyond just knowing the facts abouthealth problems into whether or not we know ourselves and have a true sense of community," Engrstrom said.

Peter J. Elich, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said there is also a concern withstudents declaring more than one major just to get all the classes they want. During the meeting,sociology chair Carl Simpson suggested a simplified pre-regis-tration process. Currently, sectionsare opened for students who are undeclared after majors have registered. RSVP could beprogrammed to open non-major registration first to seniors, then juniors, etc. Students who havedeclared a certain major but have a required course in another department are also a concern for. thecommittee. In the future, departments may get a list of all the majors that require any given course inthat department, so students will not be denied priority Elich said. Conditions for using add codesinstead of blue slips to increase the limit in classes is also a need that has not been clarified, Elichsaid. Any suggestions or solutions to the problems associated with RSVP have not been implementedfor fall quarter, said Steve Labree of the Registrar's Office. Elich said a questionnaire for studentsregarding requirements they have not yet filled and their majors, as well as why they chose the classes they have taken, is imperative before updates on RSVP are made. "The intent is to get an idea ofany changes users mightrecommend for the system to make it work for them. This will require adegree audit and that won't be here by this fall," Elich said. Perhaps RSVP problems aren't causingtoo many complications for students; the average number of calls per registrant was only 3.76. "Overall, I don't think we've got a lot of problems. The ones we do have could be addressed rather easily," Elichsaid. VRI gets free Neon RSVP, Continued from page 1 be a consumer car, complete with airconditioning and radio. The greatest distinction from other Chrysler Neons will be this one's effect on theenvironment. Western's car will be a parallel hybrid using compressed natural gas and battery electricpower. Western has long been touting the benefits of natural gas. "We have experience stretching back15 years with natural gas," Seal said. Natural gas was not permitted in many alternative-fuel competitions until recently, Seal said, but Western stayed with the fuel. Now many competitions require it. "They've(the auto industry) come to us," Seal said. "Natural gas is an inherently lower" emission fuel thangasoline," West said. He added that perfection of a computer-controlled engine management system will further help lower emissions and raise fuel efficiency. For Riels and West, getting the Neon was amonth's worth of hard work. They looked at requirements for the proposal and found it interesting enoughto put a strong one together. "We had a well-thought-out and technologically achievable design," Westsaid. "We had to show we had financing, organization, a team base and a time frame to work within."Financing could prove the most difficult part of the competition for the members of VRI. Even with a freecar many expenses await the project. "We can't expect to win without the money," Seal said.

He edged out Mark Velasco by a mere 2 percent. Gallant,finishing his first term on the AS board of directors, has a full agenda for the coming year. "My first goalis to try to bring the board together as one cohesive unit. There are a lot of good people involved on the board and we are coming together as a team for the students," Gallant said. He intends to streamlinethe AS by changing the administration and organizational structure. He said he hopes to make theelection process more efficient, eliminate the middle-management cost and direct more of studentmoney to student services. Included in his plans are changing professor evaluations, supporting atechnology fee and establishing more feelings of community and tradition. Stephen Collins was electedas vicepresident of internal affairs. Collins ran unopposed and received 67 percent of the vote. Collinsadvocates a student senate, supports the used-book sale and wants a more efficient AS board. "TheAS board has to be willing to delegate decision-making power to a larger representative senate,"Collins said. Zach Harmon Robinson retained his position as vice president for academic affairs bywinning 42 percent of the student vote. His opponent, Andrew Purvis received 39 percent. Robinsonsaid he plans to support a $10 technology fee, work to change the faculty-evaluation process and getfunding to recognize Veterans Day. Robinson said he is concerned about making the election process more "environmentally friendly." "(Next year's board) has potential to be a really good team,"Robinson said. Lauren Kelly Russell won the race for vice president for external affairs with 35 percentof the student vote. Susan Coppa was a close second with 33 percent. Russell said she's happy to winthe position. Her primary goal is to find a chairperson for the Washington Student Lobby. "I love feeling I can get something accomplished for the students," Russell said. Linda Pierce retained her seat as vice president of activities. She won 47 percent of the vote to Alex Singer's 38, though Singer formally withdrew from the election last week. "My hope is next year's board will learn from the mistakes of thisyear's board and act in a mature, responsible, accountable way without losing touch with students'needs. I look forward to that challenge," Pierce said. JoAnn Anderson won with 67 percent of the vote towin the position of secretary-treasurer, which is her first position on the AS board. Anderson said shehopes to revise the election code. She feels the code is rather vague in many areas, including ethics ofthe election process. "People are not sure when and where they can even put up signs," Andersonsaid. "My number-one priority is getting more students involved. When they are asked about the student government, they know it is there, but they think it is not working," Anderson said. Anderson's jobincludes overseeing the budget and the fees, but she said she hopes to do more. Anderson will be facing some pressing AS financial problems, for example, the Ethnic Student Center is hoping to expand andthe Outdoor Center is in debt. "Overall, I want to work on good relations and try to work together andkeep our focus," Anderson said. Cameron Wong is next year's vice president of residence life. Although his agendais not packed, he does have one specific priority. "My largest goal is to re-establish theconnection between the AS board and the residence-hall system," Wong said. Results are unofficialuntil ratified by the current AS board of directors at its meeting on Monday, May 9. City council frees 10 blocks in Fair haven for parking By Charity Proctor Front reporter The Bellingham City Council pavedthe way for development in Fairhaven when it released, by unanimous vote, more than 10 neighborhoodblocks from city parking restrictions on Monday, May 2. "It's really a freedom," said architect JohnArmitstead, whose fight for the private- parking district has been fueled by frustration at constructionhold-ups caused by parking restrictions. Now redevelopment and parking improvements that somehave been waiting years to make can begin, he said. McKenzie Avenue will be the first site of parkingimprovement. As early as this summer, angled spaces similar to those on Railroad Avenue downtown will be installed on McKenzie between 10th and 12th streets. Other streets will also be redesigned,with improved lighting, sidewalks and landscaping. The Fairhaven Village Association, composed ofmerchants and property owners in the new district, will pay for the parking and street improvements.Armitstead said 80 percent of those in the district have agreed to participate. They will spend at least$300,000 on the work, with the city contributing another $ 150,000 specifically for parking work.Fairhaven business owners in the new district were happy about the decision. "I think it's just great," said Taimi Dunn, co-owner of the Colophon Cafe. Before, business expansion meant spending $ 10,000apiece for every new parking space needed, she said. "We've had no way to expand because of this,"Dunn said. Thorn Barnard, co-owner of The Landing Discs and Tapes, said he may be able toconductrenovation previously notpossible. Barnard added that by creating the new district, the city isrecognizing developers such as Ken Imus who have taken care to construct historic-looking buildings inthe area. He called Imus' work "a gift to Bellingham that needs to be followed through on." Imus ownsmany of the buildings in the area, including the one that houses the Cobblestone Cafe. This buildingtypifies Imus' vision for the area, Armitstead said. Imus, who was not available for comment, isFairhaven's greatest asset, Armitstead said. The area was previously zoned for neighborhoodcommercial use, and Fairhaven was in great danger of becoming a strip mall, Armitstead said. In his next move, Armitstead will push for historical-district zoning to give developers creative freedom. He andother interested parties, "almost entirely" local citizens, envision streets full of architectural surprises onwhich one must walk â€” not drive â€” to see everything, he said. Possible plans include a central parkand several small hotels. The abandoned Waldron building on the corner of McKenzie Avenue and 12thStreet is one target for conversion into a 25- to 30-room hotel, Armitstead said. RESTAURANT11005555 NN. bSitaatelestt.

For most of us, a car is just a motorized contraptionwith four wheels, designed solely for the purpose of transporting us from one point to another. However,for some, the automobile serves a much higher purpose â€” as a means of truly expressing interestsand personalities. The film "Wild Wheels," produced in 1992 by Highway Cinema and directed by Harrod Blank, is an houivlong tribute to the hobby of car customizing and decorating in the United States. Ittakes a humorous look at examples of crazily decorated vehicles from California to Alabama, as wellas the eccentric individuals who painstakingly created them. "Wild Wheels" is set to a soundtrack ofreggae, jazz, blues,and rock. The. film played last week at Western and will be shown at 8 p.m. Fridayat Miracles Cafe, 800 Indian St. "Wild Wheels" focuses on just how far people are willing to go in orderto get attention through the ^automobiles, they drive. .The; , opening scene takes place in a Californiacourtroom, in which a well-dressed young man contests a ticket for parking his Volkswagen Beetleillegally and impeding traffic flow. What might usually be a typical case, this one becomes moreinteresting when the audience learns the young man is not driving your everyday, ordinary Beetle. HisBeetle is painted entirely with bright rainbow colors and flowers. On the hood perches a large revolvingglobe. The roof supports two plastic dandelion windmills, as well as an old television set covered witheven mpre flowers. The owner unsuccessfully attempted to prove the police were discriminatingagainst his wild vehicle by issuing the ticket. "I have received at least 60 tickets (in the past)," he said.,This man's experience was just one example of the attention such vehicles commonly arouse. Wherever these cars travel,. They're always sure to draw a huge crowd. The owner of the Volkswagen Beetle calls his creation "Oh My God," because those are usually the first words out of onlookers' mouths whenthey view it. "Wild Wheels" depicts the degree to which average, ordinary cars can be transformedinto truly unique rolling works of art. The Volkswagen Beetle, a rather nondescript, but lovableeconomy car, is especially popular with customizers. , . ..â€¢-;â€¢ One car in California, dubbed the"Wrought Iron VW," is cov- ,ered eprnpletely with wrought iroru crafted and shaped over a nine-monthperiod to fit the lines of the rounded car body. A 1967 Beetle in New York City is a rolling Times Square, covered from roof to wheels with flashing neon lights. The owner of this eye-catcher claims he can't drive it far because his insurance company won't cover it. "I value this vehicle at around $80,000to$100,000,even though the "Blue Book" (acommonused-. car pricing guide) values a 1967 Beetle at only$750," the neon bug owner said. "The insurance company says I shouldn' t be driving a $100,000vehicle on the streets of New York every day." Large American cars of the 1960s and 1970s were alsopopular conversion pieces, as portrayed in the film. Perhaps this is true because many of the vehicles, in "normal" form, are standouts in today' s era of small, aerodynamic vehicles/Thus, customizingenables them to look even more distinguished. One woman completely decorated her 1965 Fordstation wagon with fake fruit. Another woman proudly shows off her 1970 Oldsmobile Delta 88 sedan,covered with mirrors on the roof and sides, appropriately named the "Mirror Car." A 1971 Ford Mustangconvertible was dramatically altered by its owner to resemble a giant hippopotamus, using 600 pounds of copper sheeting in the process. In an ultimate show of ex: travagance, one man took a 1960 Cadillac and adorned it with huge flamingoes on the rear tail fins. His; vehicle, dubbed the "Mad Cad," is a realattention-getter indeed. "This car represented the height of American (automotive) influence," he said."It's like a jam session of art."

One particular vehicle, a light green Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme of thelate 1970s, is driven daily. However, this vehicle has a rather unique history. Its trunk and much of therear end were crushed by bricks in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake. Yet, it was purchased after thequake by an individual who has preserved it in the exact same condition. The license plates read "5:04 p.m." â€” the exact time the quake struck. "Wild Wheels" contrasts these vehicles with the morecommon, everyday types most of us drive. The camera frequently switches to long rows of new Buicksedans and Chrysler minivans parked in front of dealerships. In doing so, it hints Americans areconcerned with conformity, rather than individuality in our automobiles. Most of us just want to blend inwith everyone else and drive "cookie-cutter" automobiles that vary only in color. Why,;then, do certaineccentric individuals feel the need to set themselves apart from the crowd by altering theirautomobiles? Most agreed they do it for attention, but others said it makes them feel good to have ahobby to be devoted to. In many ways, it helps free them from the constraints of everyday life. "lean getout of the role of wife and mother, and become the true artist that I am," said one woman who decoratedher Toyota wagon. "If I glorify Jesus, I glorify myself because there's nothing about me worth glorifying,"said a man who painted a huge picture of Jesus on the hood of his truck. Another individual summed itup best. "Once you put things on your car, it never stops," he said. "It keeps changing and evolving, just like a living thing."

About 300 people flooded into the two-story restaurant, bar and smokilycancerous concert hall at 925 E. Pike St. on Capitol Hill to hear the band sling a killer jam and kickcopious quantities of major-musical butt. Perhaps Sister Psychic kicks so much butt because many ofthe members have been on the receiving end of a butt-kicking, Sister Psychic drummer Peter Lansdowne said. "I got my ass kicked at this party. There was this huge, Hulk Hogan-looking guy ... picking onthis girl," Lansdowne said. When he tried to help the girl, Lansdowne said, "He (the huge man) pickedme up and threw me. Then my friend Bob (Seaweed drummer Bob Bulgrien) was thrown. Then the hugeguy ran away. What a wuss." Sister Psychic frontman and guitarist Andy Davenhall also admitted totaking a beating here and there: "I got a tooth punched out. Oh yeah, I was elated. Cost me $540 (tohave it fixed)." Beatings, especially emotional beatings, have impacted the songs Davenhall writes.Front/Jason Overstreet Sister Psychic played at Moe's in Seattle Saturday, April 30. Davenhall explained the sentiment behind "Part of Love," the second track of Sister Psychic's second album "Surrender,You Freak:" "I think I was in kind of a non-reciprocating relationship at the time. You know, how youkinda give and give and you're not gettin' ?" Davenhall asked. "I mean, not in a sexual kind of way, I mean in an intellectual way â€” somebody who's not willing to open up." Despite what he considers therelative success of the new album and ongoing national tour, Davenhall said he's taking his good fortunein stride. "I'm trying to do this for a living. I'm not declaring it yet," said Davenhall, who formed the band.But he may as well, because the band is sure to meet with continued success if the show at the Moewas an indicator. The band played well to a significant, but not crushed, crowd of T-shirt-and-denim,leather-and-velvet-clad revelers whose clapping, moving and cheering response to the tightly-played actwas an unmistakable sign of universal approval. Those up front were moved by heavy-bass, major-chordsong introductions reminiscent of, but less chiseled than, those of Ted Nugent or Blue Oyster Cult. Sister Psychic plays hard music with a catchy, pop flavor. Those up front will likely be moved even furtherwhen Sister Psychic plays 9:30pm Saturday, May 7 at Speedy O'Tubbs'. Bellingham's own Sourmash,who has played several tour dates with Sister Psychic, will be opening the show. Sourmash singer andguitarist Bill Cory and drummer Mike VanBuskirk were at the Moe to see Sister Psychic and had nothing but compliments for the band. "We played five shows with Sister Psychic, and we decided to come to their town (Seattle)," VanBuskirk said. "It'll be good to play with these guys in our hometown." SisterPsychic bassist Christian Fulghum also expressed eagerness to play Bellingham. "Bellinghamaudiences are more diverse. It's an interesting mix. Both bands (Sourmash and Sister Psychic) arereally excited. Our last shows in Bellingham were nuts," Fulgham said. Fulgham said he lived inBellingham until he was four years old, but intimated, "I have a special fondness for Bellingham. I stillcruise by my old house on Indian Street." KUGS' Paul Peterman will broadcast a live interview withSister Psychic at 5 p.m. Saturday on 89.3 FM. French film festival Origins of popular Am films revealedBy Jennifer Hardison Front reporter In this land of sequels, cover songs and remakes, foreign films aregaining popularity â€” and not just for their plots. A week of classic French films on Western's campusmay help enlighten audiences as to how some of their favorite American flicks came about. Perhaps afilm's original form is much different from the one many Americans are familiar with. Western prepares to host its first French Film Festival May 8 to 12. The festival is brought to campus through AssociatedStudents Productions and Interama, Inc. and is jointly sponsored by The French Ministry of Culture andFrench Cultural Services. The five films chosen for the festival are "La Femme Nikita," "Cyrano deBergerac," "Madame Bovary," "Three Men and a Cradle" and "Too Beautiful For You," listed in the orderthey will be shown. Each will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4. The films are free. In past years, some of the films have been remade into American versions. Robert Balas, a Western French professor,describes many of the remakes as "absolute abominations." When films are remade, he said, manyAmerican filmmakers just use well-known Hollywood stars and focus on the hype to sell their pictures.Sometimes, much of the original film content is left out also. "Using the original French films and takingthe necessary time to dub them is too much trouble for them (Hollywood). The difference between theAmerican and the French versions is tremendous," he said. '"Cyrano de Bergerac' and 'Madame Bovary'are two that every person should come into contact with in their life, simply for the story content.'"Cyrano de Bergerac' is probably just about the most popular love story in French literature and'MadameBovary' is based on one of the most important novels written in the 19th Century," Balas said. "I know that people aren't going to read them in the original French. They aren't even going to read them intranslation. So the third best thing is to see the movie,".he said. Though most of the students in hisdepartment have seen the films, Balas anticipates many will return to see the films because of their highquality. Trying to spread the word about the festival off campus, Balas has distributed fliers announcing itto other area schools. "I think this is a really neat thing that they are doing. I really hope it goes beyondthe campus and we get a good turnout from everybody," Balas said. Western learned of the event through Interama, Inc., a company specializing in distribution of classic French films. Nicole Jouve, president ofInterama, is excited to help bring the festival to Western. Jouve is a French citizen who founded thecompany in 1981. Since beginning the festivals in 1993 at 16 American universities, she has found that,with more exposure, American interest in foreign films continues to grow. As a result of last year'ssuccessful festival, 32 more festivals have been added throughout the United States. Along with Western, the University of Notre Dame, University of Michigan and Portland State University have been added tothis list. Western is the first university in Washington state to ever host the festival. Jouve's goal is tointroduce French films to the United States and to a younger audience. She wants to show the films area high quality form of entertainment and can expose a different style and culture to the Americanaudiences. "We want to show that French cinema can be different, an alternative. They are entertainingto Americans as well as to the French," Jouve said. "The result has been really good. The youngaudiences have liked the films and don't seem to suffer from the subtitles," she said. AS FilmsCoordinator Claire Crane said she felt the selection of films Jouve chose for the festival was somethingstudents would be very interested in. When deciding on films, Crane said she listens to student input tohelp make her choices. She said she likes to choose some big-name blockbuster hits sprinkled with agood mix of alternative films. Whatever she decides on, Crane said she always strives for diversity. "Iwould much rather bring movies to our campus that can't be found in the other movie theaters in town,"she said. Crane said her personal favorites are "La Femme Nikita" and "Cyrano de Bergerac," but sheadvises everyone to try them all. "All of the films are excellent," she said. "Each is definitely worthseeing." "Besides," she said, "the more support for alternative and independent films, the more we canshow." So far, many of the films she has chosen so far for the AS have been successful in drawing goodcrowds. Other popular films shown here have included "Philadelphia," "The Piano," and "Farewell MyConcubine." The French Film Festival will kick off at 7:30, May 8 with "La Femme Nikita." Following thefilm, a reception in the foyer is planned to honor Nicole Jouve and Benoit Caron, audiovisual attache* atthe French Cultural Services. Each will be making a special trip to Bellingham for the event. ---------- Western Front - 1994 May 6 - Page 7 ---------- May 6,1994 â€” The Western Front ACCENT â€¢ 7 Sister Psychic Jim Rose's modern-day freak showshocks, stuns Front/Jason Overstreet Sister Psychic guitarist and frontman Andy Davenhall his hair.Commentary lost in By James Lawson Front reporter Imagine looking at a penis lifting heavy objects or jagged objects being stuck in and through the human body. Jim Rose, founder of the "Jim Rose CircusSideshow," brings such acts to Bellingham 8:00p.m., Saturday, May 7 at the Mt. Baker Theatre. Roseand his gang of "highflying, bun-jarring" thrill-seekers will be presenting some of the most outlandishacts ever attempted, such as eating glass or blowing up hot water bottles. This year's show includessome new athletic acts, along with the veteran acts many people are familiar with. One of the morefamous acts is "Mr. Lifto." With a ring attached at the end of his penis, "Mr. Lifto" lifts an anvil as hispenis stretches to great lengths. A new addition to Rose's circus sideshow is the outrageously titledact, "Chainsaw Football." Although he wouldn't go in detail about this act, Rose was confident it wouldgalvanize the audience. "I don'tthink people have seen anything like this since the Christians were fed to the lions," Rose said. Another newcomer is "Armenian Rubber Man." He stands six-feet tall, isreally hairy, and his finale is slithering through the head of a 1970s tennis racket. "He's (ArmenianRubber Man) a human bar-snack," Rose said. "He's got hair in places where monkeys don't." "B.B. theCircus Queen," who weighs less than 100 pounds and is from France, lies on a bed of sharpened nailsand lets people walk on her. "She's beautiful," Rose said. On the same level as B.B., "Marky Ray" lieson something just a little sharper than swords. "He accepts the most severe of all martial artschallenges," Rose said. "Marky Ray" lies on tips of swords as a concrete sledge is placed on hischest. He is then beaten by a sledgehammer until the piece of concrete breaks. Rose noted that peoplehave died from this in Brazil. "The Enigma" is tattooed from shaven head to toe. Among his manytattoos is a puzzle on his face. He also sticks his face into sparks until his cigarette is lit. Performingthe traditional strong man acts is "Bam Bam the Strong Man." One of his skills is blowing up hot waterbottles until they explode. "It's going to go off like Mount Crackatola," Rose said. An act which "BamBam" performs on occasion is one Rose himself is involved with. "Bam Bam lets me shoot at him with a bullet-proof vest on," Rose said. "I'm a good shot, I'll never hurt him." Rose shoots a .38 caliber handgun at firing ranges when he's not working on the show. Rose also lets people throw darts at his back, andlays his face in a bowl of broken glass while people step on his head. And he eats light bulbs, whenhe's hungry. Lately, the sideshow has been receiving some negative reviews and protests because of its taste and unique set of acts, yet this does not stop Rose from performing. Family fun drowns in LasVegas sleaze By Nancy Hazzard Front reporter Las Vegas: the first thing that comes to mind iswholesome, family fun, right? Well... Las Vegas is a 24-hour party, regardless of the visitor'sintentions. The neon lights, billboards displaying "the best legs in town," exploitation andcommercialization are inescapable in Las Vegas. "The image of Las Vegas is definitely changing,"said Greg Roix, assistant hotel manager at the Treasure Island resort. "I think the resorts have allrealized that, in order to fill up all these hotels, they definitely need to go after the family â€”just to bringpeople in," Roix said. Many establishments might prefer that vacation planners not analyze the wordedcomposition of promotional slogans too closely, Mike Donahue, media coordinator for the Las VegasConvention and Visitors Author ity, explained. "What has happened recently is that the resorts have built theme parks or attractions that all members of the family can enjoy," Donahue said. "The resortowners don't call themselves a family destination, but a destination for adults to which theycanbringtheirfamily." All clear now? Even with endless possibilities for vacations elsewhere, thisglittering city consistently draws well-above-average numbers of visitors. According to the Official LasVegas Visitor's Guide, "the city' s average occupancy rate (1992) was 83.9 percent, compared with other cities nationally, averaging just 61 percent. The 21.8 million tourists and conventioneers visiting LasVegas that year spent $14.7 billion, including gaming revenues." While this desert city seemsFront/Nancy Hazzard Las Vegas traffic strip tempts and taunts with neon and nudity. to have somethingto offer all, it's not for everyone â€” 21 years old or not. Las Vegas may be pushing an imageof familyfun, butnothing can completely eliminate the underlying current of smut. Vegas, like any other place,has its positive attributes; but unlike other places, the idea that skin and sex sell is still far morepredominant in this flashy town. A 5-year-old would need blinders to keep from witnessing the nudity soprominently displayed on Vegas billboards, buses and taxi cabs. Like it or not, Las Vegas is far fromthe mecca of morality. There's no side-stepping prostitution â€” reaching out and grabbing an innocent-looking pamphlet from a stranger , people find themselves looking at what should be the centerfold inan adults-only publication. Las Vegas advertising knows no bounds â€” in print, on television orplastered on both moving and stationary objects. Not many long-legged, red-faced women runningaround in ankle-length skirts can be found. If you're looking for a wholesome, sunny, desert vacation,there's always Palm Springs or Arizona. Even if you're one for the big city, the smut in Vegas, whichwas thick enough to give claustrophobia a new meaning, would make you want to move to Kansas.It's great to be back in the Northwest, even if it means get- , ting back to work. ---------- Western Front - 1994 May 6 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ OP/ED The Western Front â€” May 6, 1994 FRONTLINE Use bows on Bambi Congress is right:citizens don't need assault rifles. Banning military-style rifles is certainly a step in the right direction.Muzzle-stroking NRA whiners argue that hunters need such weapons to effectively shoot game. OtherRambos claim the Second Amendment is absolute. And others chant, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." First of all, deer, elk and ducks have not become faster or added body armor in the last 200years. As Jesse Jackson is fond of saying, you don't need an AK-47 to shoot a bunny rabbit. Whatlegitimate purpose â€” besides mowing down large crowds of people in the mall â€” would an assault riflebe used for? It takes more skill â€” and would therefore be more of a challenge â€” to shoot a deer with aless sophisticated weapon. After all, people have shot game with bows and arrows for eons. Ancient man depended on his bow to eat and survive. Are modern hunters so unskilled or lazy that they must spraythe forest with lead to hit anything? The Second Amendment dealt with allowing citizens to "keep andbear arms" in the context of a recently fought revolutionary war against the British in which all that wasneeded to form an army (a militia) was a bunch of citizens and their rifles. In those days, that wasmilitary conflict. Today's wars are fought with $20 million jet fighters, billion-dollar aircraft carriers andnuclear missiles. To argue that allowing citizens to own assault weapons because we need a citizenarmy is nonsensical. We have a standing army; the best in the world. The people arguing for a heavilyarmed citizenjry have watched "Red Dawn" far .too many times. Should this argument hold merit, wewould have toarm citizens with adequate weaponry to make this an effective military strategy. AverageJoes would ; need not just M-16's, but mortars, bazookas and Stinger antiaircraft missiles. Homedefense? Again, shotguns are more effective at close range. Assault weapons are perfect for military,forces that want to kill many people. That's all. And finally there are those who argue, "Guns don't killpeople, people kill people." Wrong. People with guns kill people much more effectively than people without guns. . We must stop kidding ourselves. If we buy the extremist NRA-types' argument, why shouldn'ttheir log;ic extend.to al- . lowing citizens access to grenade launchers', howitzers or homemadebazookas? Instead, we should extend the logic in the other direction. The only two legitimate uses forany guns, are hunting andhome defense. Massive weaponry isn't needed to accomplish those goals.Rifles and shotguns have done the job adequately for centuries. Let's get rid of the weapons that damagethe animal most hunted by humans today â€” other humans.

A walkaround Western reveals an abundance of eases of discrimination against men â€” especially whitemen. "Top consideration will be given to those representing minorities under-represented on campus," scholarship announcements hanging on the walls of Old Main read. Who would offer a scholarship"for white nun only" in the atmosphere of today's fervor for equality? "Brave" is too weak a word todescribe the officials in Bellevue who made this decision. sale punishment of white, male studentssolely on the basis; of their race and sex. This is unfathomable in light of the fact that few are old enough to have committed the crimes of which they're accused. It smacks of revenge. But the steamroller ofdiversity is not limited to students. It also seems to be prepared to level the hated white males whohave hoarded jobs previously closed to minorities. Western's administration is willing to go out of itsway to locate teachers who represent "under-represented groups" on campus, according to an article inlast week's an advertisement for community-epllege- teacher training all but states that white malesneed not apply.

Onebucket of movie-theater popcorn (16-cup size) has 56 grams of saturated fat. That's enough to makeeven the healthiest heart consider a coronary. The Center of Science in the Public Interest has gleefullybrought us this warning, all in the name of our health. I, for one, just want the experts to leave my healthand my eating habits alone. Of course, this information may be important to those with serious concerns about their health, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist, or a scientist in the public interest, to . figureout that movie popcorn isn' t a healthy choice. Nothing as good as that has ever been healthy. Theperpetrator of this health hazard is coconut oil. For years this tropical oil has been making seeminglynutritious foods delicious and fattening. Nature Valley granola bars and Craklin' Oat Bran cereal are twoexamples. The cereal no longer uses coconut oil and its taste has suffered. On another note, whyshould we be worried about ourselves when Gilligan and the rest of the castaways lived on coconutsfor years? Not even the Skipper, with his hot temper and high blood pressure, seemed to have aproblem. The real problem is having to listen to folks like the Center of Science in the Public Interest tell us what is safe to put in our bodies this week. It's not just as simple as decadent cakes or yummymovie popcornâ€”it's beta carotene. New reports show beta carotene may be linked to causing cancer,not curing it. What does this mean for me, the kid whose nose turned orange at 18 months becauseshe ate too much strained carrots and squash ? (According to Mom, they were my favorites.) ,â€¢We're all going to die of something. We're not immortal. So, why don't we just enjoy ourselves a little?The key to healthy living is moderation, not starvation. Go ahead, have that popcorn. ---------- Western Front - 1994 May 6 - Page 9 ---------- May 6, 1994 â€” The Western Front SPORTSâ€¢9 Alternative Athletic Activities Love is in the air;Sunday marks National Outdoor Intercourse Day By Greg Garrity Sports editor It's not just pollen in theair. It's hormones. Pollen is, after all, plant sperm. In addition to being Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8 isalso National Outdoor Intercourse Day (NOID). "It's a spring holiday â€” nobody really knows whythe word 'outdoor' is in there," said senior human services major Sonja Carlson, an intern at the SexualAwareness Center. "We're certainly not encouraging outdoor intercourse." Representatives from thecenter will have a table on Vendor's Row today (May 6) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., where they will behanding out free condoms and bits of information and trivia. They hope to inform the campus communityon benefits of safer sex. "The idea is more of looking at sexuality in a positive aspect. It's an attempt toview sexuality in a positive way," said Shannon Caray, a senior majoring in political science and theassistant coordinator of the center. Caray said safer sex is the key. "Safe sex is abstinence," she said. Among the interesting trivia offered is that male bicyclists are likely to think about sex while cycling.Female bicyclists, on the other hand, are more interested in bicycling when they are having sex. "I think it's great to be promoting safer sex," said Kelly Donovan, a junior anthropology major. And students,don't worry â€” Caray said out of 100 men and women, between the ages 60-91 surveyed, most are stillinterested in being sexually active and enjoy sexual activity more now than they used to. Caray saidshe believed NOID may have sprung out of the free-love generation of the '60s. Why May 8? Not only is"love in the air" during springtime, but if you keep counting, it's also the 69th day of March. Enoughsaid. Caray and Carlson both agreed sex is a springtime ritual. A study conducted in 1992 by JosephLee Rodgers, David F. Harris and Karen Bradley Vickers affirms their belief. In a study, published inSocial Biology, the researchers found a peak rate of sexual activity in June and July, a minor peak inMarch and April and a valley in September. The study suggests an increase in adult sexuality duringthe hot part of the year and a decrease during the cool periods. The researchers also proposed a"summer vacation theory for American adolescents." According to the study, "June, especially, and thesummer months in general are a period during which loss of virginity is likely to occur among U.S.adolescents."

He will appear here as part of his transcontinentalconcert tour which will encompass appearances with the major orchestras of the U. S., besides solorecitals. TRAINED AT CURTIS INSTITUTE The 22-year-old musician has been in training 17 years of hislife. When he was eleven, William Primrose, noted violinist, heard Tree and suggested to his parents that he audition at Philadelphia's Curtis Institute. The result of this was a full scholarship to the Institute,with Efrem Zimbalist as his instructor. On the occasion of his Carnegie Hall debut, Tree's violin wasZimbalist's famous Guarnerius. His practicing instrument is a Lan-dolfi, also from his teacher'scollection. In addition to playing the violin, Tree plays the viola, piano, and clarinet. He is anenthusiastic swimmer, likes basketball and baseball, and is especially partial to ping-pong . . . apredilection which he shares with two other notable violinists, Isaac Stern and Jascha Heifetz. Hecollects pipes because he likes the feel of the wood, but he doesn't smoke them. MUSICAL GIANT Tree says that he received his greatest artistic experiences from two concerts by the renowned pianist,Rudolph Serkin, who Tree believes "is one of the giants of music." Starting time for the concert is 8:00p. m. 'rant Given Local USCF The United Student Christian Foundation, under the leadership of Alfred^S. Dale, Jr., Minister- Director, has been notified that it will receive a grant of $9,700 from the DanforthFoundation, funds to be used within a three year period. In an announcement from the office of Dr. W.W. Haggard, college president, it was disclosed that the funds were to be used to strengthen thereligious life of the campus-community. Western is approximately one of 10 receiving such grants.Kenneth I. Brown, Executive Director of the Danforth Foundation, stated, "Our interest is not inbuildings, nor specifically in faculty salaries, but in what can be done for your individual studentâ€”Jim Jones or Sally Smithâ€”as a student, a citizen, a parent or a parent-to-be, and also as a person of faith." The Danforth funds will be used to leadership training scholarships, student Christian movementparticipation scholarships, summer projects scholarships, faculty-student small group fellowships,and annual lecture series. Among the projects which the funds will cover and which do not involvescholarships is that for faculty-student small group fellowships. This would involve a continuation ofthe fellowship program carried out in the fall with freshmen. Rather than no follow-through after facultymembers have invited their advisees to their homes for dinner and conference, this measure allows foradditional such meetings, one in the winter and one in the spring. The other project covered is that foran annual lecture series.

Dr. Harwood AidsNEA Convention At Annual Meeting Leading a discussion on "Human Relations in the Classroom" at the N.E.A. convention in Portland, Oregon, July 5, was Dr. Charles Harwood, psychology department of Western Washington College. A number of topics, including Dr. Harwood's, in the field of instructional service were informally organized. It was a "learning situation." Each meeting was limited to 10persons and all were coordinated by Helen E. Schaper, director of curriculum of the Portland PublicSchools. Dr. Harwood brought away from the convention the motto, "Don't say you're 'justa' teacher: sayyou ARE a teacher," as teachers were urged to raise their own opinions of the profession. NOTICE! Alllibrary books are due from the Campus School on Friday, July 13, before 5:00 p. m. There is a $1.00clearance on late books. This notice does not apply to t h o s e books charged from the main chargingdesk in the library, but only those charged from the Campus School library. C. Ralph Morse CirculationLibrarian ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1956 July 13 - Page 2 ---------- Page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN July 13, 1956 NEA Withholding Informatiori The N. E. A. has left virtually untapped a terrific soured of support in the nation's teacher education colleges -when it(continues to be lax in supplying the colleges with information. At the convention held in Portland lastweek,; the speakers gave the complacent feeling that enough publicity was being given to most areas,but it is obvious that no attempt was made to inform a source at least equally important as the generalpublic. The N.'E. A/ Board of Directors requested "a nationwide voice on radio and TV" as the mostneglected spot of publicity. William G. Carr, in his annual^report to the membership, gave figures citingthe number of articles, films, reports, and meetings made available to the public on education through theN. E. A., but the figures looked pretty insignificant considering the way every American is affected byeducation, and he made no mention of information going to educational institutions. James A. Cullen,New York, as a speaker at the second business session July 4th, stated, "Our profession hasn'tfinanced its information program effectively. Business and industry have long since provided funds forlong-term campaigns of public information." He added that education cannot depend in these times onleaflets and journals nor on "excellent cooperation of newspapers and other publications." Stands takenby the convention and N. E. A. as a whole should be rushed to teachers' colleges, especially during thesummer when experienced teachers return to the campuses. It would seem that these people could addtheir voices to important legislation such as the Kelly bill for federal aid to education, if publicity were only received immediately on what stand was taken by the N. E. A. Lithography Creates News By GLORIAPINARD Newspapers don't have to be printed with machine-set letters. This information may come as asurprise to many people who are dyed-in-the-wool "print 'em on the linotype and run 'em off the press"fans. Another method of printing is by lithographing. Used in a course of newspaper work, and chiefly anindustrial arts class, a group of students under Mr. Pat Allen, gather for an hour's instruction in the art ofstory writing and then adjourn to the Industrial Arts building for a two hour session in the graphic artsdepartment under the supervision of Dr. Ray Schwalm. Lithographing has been known and "Used a longtime. Known more familiarly as "engraving on stone," the process is fundamentally the same as thatused by the "people of long ago." The flat stone has been replaced by sheets of metal or paper coveredwith a diazo compound which is light sensitive. The negative is prepared and is laid over thepresensitized plate and burned with an intense light, then developed. The image is transposed to theplate and the exposed area will have an affinity for grease such as is found in printers' ink, because ofthe sensitizing compound used. The sheet is made into a cylinder The flat stone, being porous,absorbed water. Next, the surface was inked and the ink stuck only where there was grease, thegreased picture was what came off on the sheet of paper laid over it. The picture was always a mirrorimage of the picture on the stone. This method of drawing directly on stone is still used in some artwork. Most large newspapers are still printed by linotype machines but off-set lithographs are cominginto more wide-spread use. It is a machine that can be handled by high school students with thesupervision of the instructor and already nine or ten schools in the state are putting out their papers withthis method of printing. The class taking this course receives an hour's instruction in pho and above orbelow it, depending on {tography each day from Mr. Charles Rice. The group will write its own stories,make up its pages, write its own ads, take the pictures, develop them, make the half-tone negatives, set the type, make the plates, photograph the pages and run the press. It is a comprehensive study inoff-set lithography and should prove encouraging to any would-be high school teacher of journalism. themachine, is another cylinder of rubber known as a blanket. The metal plate is kept wet with a weak acidsolution, which wets the dry area so it will not ink up. The ink is turned on and inks the image on theplate. The paper is fed under the rubber roller or blanket and the image transferred to the paper. Thismethod of printing does away with the complicated process of having to set type from left to right andtrying to read it as a mirror image. The metal plate has a positive picture on it, which means that thenewspaper page or canning labels or whatever is being printed, has been photographed right into thecompound on the plate. The plate prints a reversal of the page on the rubber roller, so the picture is thena mirror image of the photographed page. Then the rubber blanket transposes the inked reverseimage to the paper and it comes out an identical copy of the first photographed sheet of metal. Thisprocess is also known as "photo-offset" and "offset-lithography" because the printing is off-set onto aroller above it. The old method of lithography was used by greasing the stone and soaking it in water fora few days.

ASSIGNMENT UNCERTAINNone the less interesting is Gordon Pfister (leave the "P" off and you'll have it), a graduate of lastwinter, who has started work on his fifth year and graduate study. He will be teaching in the SeattleSchool System this fall, and although he will not have a definite assignment until August 24, hebelieves it will be in physical education, history, language arts, or a combination of these, in thejunior high. Gordon has a p.e. major and psychology and biology science minors. This probablyexplains his stand on things (although not necessarily). "Right now I think there is a lack of outstandingpersonnel in physical education," he stated in his commanding voice. "P.E. teachers need to stressgym rather than mokeys Campaign ; gt; CRUSH SMOKES Vi 7 #te*n t-0n\y you car PREVENTFOREST FIRES Puget Sound Pulp and Timber Co. schbpi teams; if you'll hotic^^hen-fcyer a; kid iswanted :otife of ^: class, li^-often taken out: of; gyoij unless he's av bigv star athlete rrtheii he's usuallytaken out Of English, math, or what have you. The average kid is getting gypped. He needs a buildupso that he can try out his abilities, too." COACHES NOT SO GOOD Gordon didn't have a very highopinion of coaches in general. He said that coaches often use swearing as bad as that found in a logging camp. "They've got to remember they're teachers, too. They can't just be for a winning team. I've heardcoaches who can tear your heart out with six words and produce sportsmanship and a winning teambesides. Then there are others who say cuss, cuss, blank, blank, cuss,- now go out there and fight! Allteachers live in a goldfish bowl; I know they shouldn't have to, but just the same, they do."PSYCHOLOGY HELPS Guidance work and subject matter should go hand-in-hand, according toGordon. "The latter is, often stressed too strongly, but the psy-cological behavior of a kid is just asimportant. A kid preoccupied with adjustment problems won't be learning much. The teacher heeds tobe able to recognize the big things so they can be referred to a specialist, but he also needs to see thelittle things like 'see me; I've got blemishes on my face; therefore, nobody likes me'." In the line ofdiscipline, Gordon wants to make the kids "sweat" without doing it maliciously. His big voice and tallframe will go a long way toward meeting this. "I had a teacher once who was wishy-washy, and I didn'tlike her because of it.. I didn't learn much then, come to think of it." DON MAHAFFEY Washingtonloses another teacher to California when Don Mahaffey leaves this year. Don was teaching sophomoreand junior English, and debate in Mt.

The annual increments are $280 and I can retire on half-pay by the time I'm 55. Youmight call this the 'good news of damnation for the Washington legislature.'" Don will teach highschool English, and coach tennis there, as his fifth year of teaching. Right now Don is in his thirdquarter of work on his Master's degree, and is currently writing an article for the "English Journal"about some work he did in teaching vocabulary by the flashcard method. VITALITY FIRST The first thing Don feels a high school teacher must have to be successful is vitality. "The threat of physicalpunishment which a man COULD deal out helps, but should be used sparingly. With some kids at some times, corporal punishment is the best." Don doesn't care whether he teaches under a core program, or a department, but wants the system and teachers to be good. "A teacher- should make the most ofwhat he has. I have known men who are wonderful at discussion techniques, and others who are good at lecturing, and they build their whole program around that. The teacher doesn't have to be liked, but hehas to inspire kids. He can even get them to do something they don't want to do with this system."WORKBOOKS OVERWORKED "When I started teaching, I was told to keep the kids busy to keepthem out of my hair, and the best way was to make them use the workbook. If they were made to copythe whole lesson, so much the better because it took them longer. I used this at first until I discovered they weren't learning much. Now I have so much to.teach I hate interruptions like assemblies. Whenyou have a lot to offer, then the kids sense you're interested in them." ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECT Donwent on to say, "A principal ought to be pretty close to his beginning teachers.

It might be a good idea if the systemwere changed so that the teachers could pick their administrators. Right now, the superintendent is likea janitor. He is concerned with the looks of the building, keeping salaries equal to what others arepaying (not what the district CAN pay), and on the whole he is not concerned for the teachers. Rather than be concerned with business and economic aspects, shouldn't he be more interested in education?"Many superintendents lack the gumption to fire poor teachers because they are not able to get'evidence' which will be conclusive in court. What they should do is exert pressure to get the teacher to resign, like giving him odious tasks. Of course this then would put the superintendent in the positionof trying to find a replacement, but the calibre of teachers at that school would rise."

"There is still a lot more greenery up here than in Georgia. There is nothing like the scenery up here. Maybe it's just the fact that it's home," was the finalremark of the charming couple.

The newspapers and magazines are full of it, so evidently is the American stomachs-Beer. It may be a drink to the consuming public but it's news to the newspaper. The entire question of prohibition is a wonderful boon to the newspapers. Anything of such widespread difference of opinion as the liquor question is bound to result in controversy. And where there is controversy, there is news. And where there is news, there ' are newspapers who are glad there is news and want the news to continue, for "no news is good news" is not true of a newspaper. Yes! it would be a sad world for the newspapers if the liquor question was settled and as a newspaper man I hope they adopt and repeal a prohibition amendment to the Constitution every ten or fourteen years, ad infinitum. ——W.S.N.S.

The raising of grade qualifications and increasing the number in student activities is occupying the attention of the faculty. Both are commendable to a certain extent, but are these things taken into consideration? Many grade-average students get more life-applicable education out of activities than out of the scheduled program. Students who do hot want to be in activities can't b dragged in. The political policy of this state in regard to education is progressively toward less discrimination, toward lower fees, lower enrance requirements and lower grade standards in general. In other words the high school graduate should have the privilege of coming to one of the state" institutions- and enjoying its advantages without being tied to one curriculum or one activity. : W.S.N.S.

L LECTURE ON GERMAN GOVERNING ME University Professor Has Made Hitler Regime Object of Long Study SPEAKER WELL KNOWN The fruits of thirty years' experience as a journalist will be revealed by Vernon McKenzie, lecturer, in Tuesday's assembly. Mr. McKenzie is the dean of the school of journalism, University of Washington, and has been interested in journalism the greater part of his life. He is the author of "Behind the Headlines," a contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, New York Herald- Tribune Magazine, and other periodicals and newspapers. He was also European representative of Cosmopolitan, Harper's, and other International Magazine Company publications. Mr. McKenzie's topic for the lecture on Tuesday will be "Hitler— Miracle or Menace?" As a winner of an award to study events and conditions in Germany, Mr. McKenzie spent three and a half months studying the breakdown of constitutional government in Germany. He studied Hitler just as that person was approaching the zenith of his power. He open-mindedly saw and studied both sides. of the question, and those who have heard him lecture say 'that he presents entirely unbiased views of the question. o EDENS HALL FIRESIDE SCENE OF LUNCHEON Alaskans to Meet on Wednesdays for Members of Jaunt The following Alaskans met at the table near the fireplace in the Edens hall dining room Wednesday afternoon and had a "mug-up": Mildred Clark, Lillian Anderson, Donnie Taylor and Violet Bourgette, from Juneau; Viola Porter, Anchorage; Peggy Alderson, Flat; Lillian Lander, Anchorage; Florence Faw-cett, Metlakatla; Virginia Wenzel-berger, Haines; Impi Aalto, Douglas. Maria Richards, Bellingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Crimmins, who are the "chefs" at the dining hall, came over and paid their respects to the group. They formerly lived in Alaska. The Sourdoughs are planning to meet every Wednesday afternoon for a get-together luncheon. All Alaskans are cordially invited to be present. Impi Aalte and Florence Faw-cett are the only ones born in Alaska. The rest have established their residence by choice. /. o Pedagogues Lacking At Sing Sing Prison A pat on the back is deserved by all present and prospective teachers, according to Anthony N. Peterson, chaplain of Sing Sing prison. He says: "To the best of my knowledge we have not had any school teachers or college professors among our prisoners. Whether this is because such men do acquire a real education at college or because of something connected with the essential altruism of their profession, the truth remains that those who make teaching their life work do not come toi Sing Sing."

In the following report the averages of the Bellingham freshmen taking these tests are given. This program was primarily designed for students completing their sophomore year in college. "The freshmen in our institution were asked to co-operate in order that we may have available cumulative records which will be of considerable value in giving individual guidance. A preliminary report has been received on the achievement of our freshmen in comparison with sophomores in universities, colleges and teacher training institutions. The table should be read as follows: 'The provisional norms for the history and social science section of the cooperative tests are based upon the tests taken by 7,651 sophomores in SCBTIST TO TAIK ON "MOTHER E M " Mysteries Shrouding Actions of the Earth Revealed (Continued on Page Three) Fossils of Sucia Seen by Students Nature Study and Camera Hiker Mark Local Island Voyage Of interest to everyone was the boat trip to Sucia island, July 4, on the boats Thetis and Soya. The Sucias are four miles sailing from Bellingham in a northwesterly direction. Seen from the air they present an appearance of fingers, hence the'name. Led by Miss Piatt and Miss Flick, the party explored the islands, hunting for the sea-animal fossils for which they are noted. One of the earliest existing fossils, a trilobite, has been found on the Sucias.. Miss Sundquist's bird study class went on a side trip to Matea gt;and Puffin islands. Many gull eggs were found, several cormorants and a baby gull. .,'• Besides nature study, ring tennis, baseball and swimming; were participated in and Dr. Ruckmick conducted a camera r u ^ during which motion pictures of the^boats and party were taken; ; . , .

Harding, noted author, lecturer and teacher, on Friday, July 14, at the assembly hour. Mr. Harding is known for his scientific travelogues of trips to the sun, to the moon, and to the stars and the depths beyond the Milky Way. His lectures are illustrated by lantern slides which are said,to reveal to the eye many of the hidden facts of nature and impress them upon the eye so that they remain longer than word-pictures would: "Mother Earth" Topic Mr. Harding is to give a talk of the n o n - technical type entitled "Mother Earth." The questions he will answer in this talk are such as these: What is the earth? Why does it revolve around the sun and rotate on its axis? What causes the seasons? Where is the sun at midnight? Many other somewhat puzzling questions will be answered in the lecture.. Tells Useful Facts Dr. Willis A. Parker, of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, New York, says: "Dr. Harding's method of imparting the truths of science is a rare gift. No child could fail to be fascinated and soundly impressed and fascinated. The most learned people present were equally delighted. His lectures reach'people of average intelligence, impart useful knowledge, remove superstition and should be heard in every community." Dr. Harding has appeared before audiences in thirty-six states for twelve years. His "Celestial Travelogues" appeal to the eye and the ear at the same time, and tend to disrupt superstition and wrong belief. - Modern Romeo Woos Juliet on Wash Day Romeo no longer calls upon Juliet, climbing her balcony to woo the shy, swooning maiden with ardent words of everlasting love.

We who drudge away the sunny days in sleepy classes, and in the library, when it is open, might well afford this trip away from books over the blue waters of Bellingham Bay, et al to Victoria, Merry England of the Pacific. Tandem bicycles and English architecture await us. Sunken gardens, and parks, and the "precious accent,' and "God Save the King" and hasty pudding and small amounts of English beverages (including tea) are ours-—for $1.50. Let's get behind this thing and support it. Buy your tickets this afternoon before it is too late. Let's be there 99 44-100ths per cent. Above all, children, be considerate of the faculty chaperones. Let them get away awhile for a bit of innocent fun. It won't hurt them. Remember, however, that Y O U have reputations to uphold, and that it is unseemly for pedagogues to act in a manner that might be taken to be unseemly for pedagogues. O :— TEST WEEK AT LIBRARY During test week the library is the busiest spot on the campus. Almost every student in the school is catching up on a whole quarter's assignments. Com- . plaints rend the air, as students are unable to get what they want. Some suggestions were brought rather forcefully to our attention at the end of last quarter. They might be applied to the last weefc of every quarter without loss: 1. Permitting no reserved books to remain out overnight. 2. Opening at 7:30. Remaining open until 10 o'clock in the evening, except from 5:30 until 6. 3. Rigid enforcement of "silence" and "no scuffling" rules. 4. Adoption of time limits for much-desired reserved books. TO YOU FROM ME By Dick Albert i | n n •« •• H I — i — « • •» m I* " • i ti •• •• — m The Fourth of July, coming, this week, has given me a streak of laziness unparalleled; in fact it has reduced my capabilities, or potentialities, so much that I feel as if I could become mediocre and conventional enough to pass a test, on English grammar the very first time it was given to me! But fear not, for I'll soon be back in my ,old erratic manner and maybe do something (maybe). Until then may the memories of the noises you heard over the Fourth serve as reminders that Albert lives. Last week—you 11 remember—I wrote you a poem telling you of heaven, your future home ( ? ) . This week may I quote another poem that I wrote? It tells you why, that when / die—I think that heaven I will just pass by. Do no more than just pass on; of hell and heaven I will have none! IDEALS Ideals are desirable things—they say— Sometimes I do not feel that way. When I think of those deeds malicious, Done in the name of things religious, It makes me Wonder—// / would Go to heaven if I could! It makes me feel as if life's game Leaves one walking a little lame. And crooked, too, within the marrow, From walking along the straight and narrow. o LITERARY THIS AND THAT The publishers have gone mad over it—the book sellers hail it with acclaim—Hervey Allen wrote it —" i t " is "Anthony Adverse," America's contribution to the tradition of the picturesque novel. Mr. Allen is known as a poet, critic, diarist and biographer, and all of these capacities find scope in this twelve hundred-page novel. Christopher Morley scored a triumph with his "Swiss Family Manhattan," in which the demigods were cast adrift on a skyscraper. The family seemed to adapt themselves well, and Morley was heartened. Now he has moved his Mandarin to Manhattan soil (or pavement) in "Mandarin in Manhattan." Christopher in verse is not Christopher at his best, but some parts are delightful. For instance: Instead of the Puritans landing on Plymouth Rock How much pleasanter this country would have been If Plymouth Rock Had landed on the Puritans. y Pearl S. Buck has just completed a book, "The First Wife and Other Stories," in which she pictures the conflict between old customs and new modes of thought. Students, educated abroad, who return to ancient Chinese mores, are her characters. In this book, as in her others, she is aware of the beauty of Chinese life, but this does not deter her from painting stark realism. Boston isn't the only place boasting an energetic Society for the Suppression of Vice—censors in the Eastern empire are active also. H. L. Mencken's "Selected Prejudices" has just been removed from the authorized textbook list by the Japanese ministry of education "because of the iconoclastic ideas it contains and because of the open expressions used with reference to sensuous matters." Fashion's Fancies by Beth Hankins TAILORED' COTTONS They talk—and they have a fashion story all their own! If you are chartering passage on a steamer bound for the tropics you will wear them.

A CHIC SUMMER SLEEVE The new sleeves suggest sophistication. Slashed effects suggest medieval notes on otherwise extremely simple afternoon gowns. One model is white crepe-de-chine sleeve on a dark dress. The sleeve is close-fitting from wrist to elbow and the slashed fullness above the elbow reveals the arm. Soft neck drapery is becoming and flattering with these sophisticated sleeves. Another favorite sleeve—this time of the Paris lady—is a festooned evening sleeve in black and white lace. It falls in graceful loops on the upper arm. There are sister sleeves in daytime ensembles which show delicately-cut effects, but are not so bewitching as the evening type. wear.. Perhaps a one-eyelet tie with simple ridge-trimmings at the toe and sides. This' is not too sportsie nor too formal for ordinary wear. It has a medium heel—the French-Cuban heel. Sports whites run to oxfords. Higher-cut ones, with three or four eyelets, trimmed with large or small perforations. There are Ghillies, too, and the newest have fine perforations and a tongue. ' Sandals are always new! Cool, low-cut ones with open-shank are smart and comfortable to wear with afternoon chiffons and organdies and prints. The newer sandals have the fashionable covered-toe effect and are cut put further up on the instep. A bell-shape sleeve .with wide flowing ruffles half covering the hand is another model which has found its way over from Paris. It is featured on the "cocktail" or "Sunday-night" dress.

T h e players are chosen by a newspaper ballot of the leading Eastern dailies. The rosters for both clubs are not yet complete, but we did notice Earl Averill's name among the list of pastimers who will perform for t he American league team. Averill is a Snohomish boy and learned his baseball from the popular little skipper of the Bellingham Tulips, Tealey Raymond. . Probably the most colorful part of this game will be the managers of the two clubs. John McGraw, the old strategist who managed the Giants for so many years and led them into many a world series battle, will again don a uniform and be on t he firing line pushing the stars' from the National league to their utmost. Connie Mack, "the Grand Old Man of Baseball," as he is called, will match wits with McGraw. Connie is only 71 years old and still -the active manager' of \he Philadelphia Athletics. . It is interesting to contrast the personalities of these two men. McGraw is a fiery, peppy, witty, driving type, while Mack is unassuming, quiet and more inspirational to his men. Wish we could be there to see the game. It certainly would be worth the price of admission. What team are you going to lay odds on?, Take a look at the percentage figures and see which team was in first place on July 4. Look again at the columns when the big league teams wind up their summer baseball. Will the same clubs be in first tplace? They should be. Sport scribes generally concede the championship to t he team that is in first place on Declaration day. Figures over a long period of years prove their predictions to be correct. Baseball is a sport in which the wise are unlikely to do too much predicting. Several years ago the Boston Braves ^were trailing in last place on the Fourth with only a mediocre team. They put on a spurt and wound up in first place. They haven't won a championship since. RESEARCH BUREAU RECEIVES REPORT (Continued from page 1) universities, colleges and teacher training institutions. The average score of the Bellingham third quarter freshmen is equivalent to the 48.8 percentile of this sophomore group, meaning that 48.8 per cent of the sophomores who took, this test made scores lower than the average of our third quarter freshmen.'"

The lowest scores were made in fields generally covered by courses in composition. Most colleges and universities still require a course in composition of all freshmen. "Since there is no course of that nature in our institution the record which our freshmen made is very acceptable," said Dr. Masters.

Shows Student Earning Average $23 Per Month That the average earning of students working at the University of Missouri is $209.70 a year or $23.30 per month was one of the interesting findings of a faculty committee of that school. The investigation consisted of questionnaires sent to students, examination of university records and personal interviews. The fact that first-year students usually fall below the average is not to be wondered at, although some freshmen do earn as high as $60 a month while going to school. From the report of 794 questionnaires the committee found that 52 per cent of the men and 28 per cent of the women were learning all or part of their living expenses. But the impressive fact was that the women who were working made on an average more than the men working. .The monthly average for the women is $29.08. Work of these students varied from common labor to teaching school and included housework, outdoor care of grounds and gardens, auto service station helpers, store clerks, office clerks / ^ v stenographers, taxi driving, tfu^ ing, printing office work, and student assistants in laboratories and experiment a l fields.? ; ' lt; ., " :.-,?• ;v gt;::-: •• ^ ..-'•;;•' "T.;jb^•';.,..

Labor is being donated by the Whatcom county welfare board. The school pays for the materials, trucks, tools and salary of Mr. Munn and Foreman Joe C. Warner. This will cost between three and four thousand dollars. I t is expected that the county's contribution in the form of labor will at least match this amount. The field consists of five acres south of Normal drive and west of Twenty-first street. It was bought in 1929 for approximately $15,000. I t is twice the size of Waldo field and will provide space for eight tennis courts, a baseball diamond and a football field. After grading and filling, the field will be seeded some time next fall. It is expected that the turf will be sufficiently established for basball next spring and for football the following fall. First Graders Entertained With Circus After Studying Animals "The cijfcus is coming!" Do you remember "way back when" you were a boy and sneaked out at dawn to se the big show unload? Nowadays thtings are different. So legitimate has become that pastime of watching the circus arrange itself —and so much less frequent—that on Thursday, June 29, a t 9 o'clock, the blue-and-white bus loaded up the entire first grade, delighted teachers and all, and set off for the show ground. Ever since summer school opened the fascinating core of first grade study and activity has been animals. Of these thirty tots, some have been in first grade a year, some in kindergarten a year and some are brand-new to school life. But almost every one knew something about Tusko, and so it began. * Everybody was eager to know more about elephants, lions, tigers, camels, monkeys, rhinoceroses and hippopotami.. Even such big names can be learned and spoken glibly when the heart is in the pursuit. Circus songs have been learned, circus stories have been read and told, cir.cus pictures have appeared in numbers to decorate the walls and bulletin board of the big classroom ,and there is a circus poem on a large chart to which everyone, old or young, under Normal's roof, would thrill. More serious discussions have brought out how and where the circus animals are captured. (Think of maps in a first grade!), The care and food of each species has been studied, and the older and more cruel training methods compared with modern "psychological" training. The children have decided it is reasonable that the wide smile of a hippo will surely be blighted by toothache or tummy ache or an a t tack of flu, or that a cold in the nose or a bad headache may temporarily warp the disposition of Mrs. Tiger or Jimmy Camel They have learned of the careful treatment of animal ailments by up-to-date vet-erinaries. Nearly all of the lucky thirty saw the afternoon performance. For a big per cent it was •tb'p. first circus. I t will; be strange if next week does hpt see a great increase in the clay menagerie, which now boasts a peaked-capped clown and two gray elephants. AVgroup of three tigers under a tree has been made by one small sculptress. The animal study will soon branch out from the circus lot and zoo to bring in the American bison, the Australian kangaroo and other species with' special interest. The summer school will be almost as good as a travel tour. TUESDAY HIKE IS 10 T Mt. Baker, Clear Lake, Islands to Be If Day Is Clear The Tuesday night hikes will be renewed next Tuesday when Mr. Kibbe will lead a hike to the top of Chuckanut mountain. The distance is about seven miles from the Normal, round trip.

Preparatory to this trip have been the shorter hikes in which the students'' ability and endurance have been tested and conditioned. Requirements for taking this hike are a participation in at least two Saturday hikes and-three Tuesday jaunts. Leaving Bellingham at 7 o'clock Friday morning, the party will go as far as Glacier in cars. From this point they will proceed on foot to Kulshan cabin at 4 o'clock Saturday morning for the mountain peak. Lunch will be eaten at the "Saddle," whose altitude is 9,000 feet. The climb from the "Saddle" to the top is .the last lap hTthe ascent. . Should the weather permit, a play hour in the snow will be .allotted when the top has been reached. The party will return to the cabin about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. For those who are ineligible for - the climb a provision has been made for entertainment at the cabin. Others, who are unable to leave Friday, have the privilege of coming Saturday afternoon and enjoying the hike from Glacier to the cabin, returning with the week-end hikers Sunday afternoon. _— o Of PUNS SAW I P Eliza Island Goal of Picnickers on Annual Summer Trip Roof Over Sci i^ ^ Pro^desFysc^ VIEW OF BELLINGHAM SEEN FROM PORCH ON THIRD FLOOR / •*• * By Irene Marz v ^ Large steamships, moving slowly up to the docks, fast cruisers and motor boats dashing about—like an ever changing travelogue is the scene that can be viewted from the roof above the science department,^his porch can be reached by going through the doors at the end of the hall of the art department on the : third floor. . If one has never had the opportunity of an aerial view of the city of Bellingham, one of the closest substitutes is to spend a few minutes at this place. Far in the distance is a hill, dotted with residences over which, like winding snakes, are the roads leading to Ferndale, Blaine, Lynden, Everson and points north.

More college graduates among the nudist colonies claim Harvard as their Alma Mater than all others combined. BR-R-R-R! Two former Illinois university coeds spent two months stranded on the bleak Chicikof island, off the coast of Alaska. They were rescued bya coast guard cutter and returned to Seattle. During their isolation, food was furnished by wild cattle shot, butchered and cooked by themselves. COMPENSATION? The male students at Dennison university who drove cars on" the campus last year, statistics show,- made an average grade of 26 per cent higher than those who walked. Beautiful in its floral setting was the wedding of Miss Agnes Sollie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Sollie, of this city, and Mr. William A. Kendrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Kendrick, of Olympia. It was solemnized within the home of the "bride's parents at 8:30 o'clock Friday evening, June 30. The service was read by Rev. A. M. Mehus, of Seattle, formerly a pastor of the Norwegian- Belgian Baptist church of this city. The, bridal party advanced to an improvised altar within an arbor of pink and white garlands, against a background of syringa. Arranged in tall baskets were pink and white roses with an accent of blue in spires Of delphinium. White tapers in candelabra cast a radiance over the flowers and greenery. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white satin silhouette model gown; having long Sleeves with shoulder puffs, and her tulle *veil was held in place with orange blossoms. Her bouquet was composed of pink rosebuds and ; white sweetpeas with fern and satin ribbons. Her only attendant was Miss Gwendolyn Jones. ^ iThfe best man was Mr. Chester Immediate^ ^ ceremony Sixteenfeliiiil gt;0rs Hikefo Week-end Trip Varied Entertainment Enjoyed by Mmbers of Jaunt Trudging through slushy snow in a heavy rainstorm, sixteen hikers led by Dr. Bond climbed ten miles from Glacier to Kulshan cabin last Sat- Leaving Bellingham early Saturday morning, the hikers motored to Glacier in several cars provided for the trip. Provisions for the week-end were carried by the members of the party. Upon reaching Kulshan cabin late Saturday afternoon, after the somewhat strenuous hike, the weary climbers were refreshed by the blazing fire in the huge fireplace and generous portions from the knapsack. The evening's entertainment consisted of impromptu numbers by the various members of the group. The singing of popular songs was especially enjoyed. Snow sports were a feature of Sunday's program. This was climaxed by a hike to the glacier. Those who viewed the glacier pronounce it a very awe-inspiring spectacle. Particularly beautiful are the crevasses in their deep blue coloring as a contrast to the vast white expanse of snow and ice. Combining both work and play, Dr. Bond, assisted by "Happy" Fisher, endeavored to make some repairs on the cabin. However, more time will have to be devoted to this for its completion. In descending the mountain^ the hikers diverged from the usual path, crossing what is known as "Hell's Half-Acre." This afforded them the added opportunity of frequent sliding on snow banks. Bellingham was reached at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. :—o Mountains Have Unusual Appeal Urge to Quote Poetry Inspired by •Large Mountains A Splendid Place to Shop if Your Pocket-Book Has Been Depression - Flattened . at WAHL'S Campus Cook PPPPP

S. — L TO HAVE AFFAIR Mr. Philippi is endeavoring to assemble the remaining parts of the radio set in order that we may enjoy the summer concerts of the surrounding territory. The radio to be used here is of the vacuum type, having a receiver and two stages of amplification; also a loud speaker which will make, it possible for the broadctsting to be heard in all parts of a large room. Upon the installation of this set we will be able to receive broadcasted concerts and lectures from a radius, of several hundred miles.

Its interest was largely due to the unique way in which the grave was mixed with the gay, and the "dead" shook with laughter until even the "tomb" smiled. The "corpses" as well as the audience were in a weak condition as the curtains were drawn. After the campus contests all soothed their throats with punch and wafers. Some way or other everyone who wished to dance found room, although the gym could have been larger. A feature of the evening that caused a great deal of sport was the balloon dance. "Now, you see it, now you don't" was a common occurrence. Pop! pop! bang! One ballon after another was stepped on or punctured. During the last dance, streamers of confetti were tossed over (Continued on Page Two) NOTICE! I LOST—Black coin purse with name I inside. Valued as gift.

The purpose of the organization is to foster interest, and help, in foreign and home Mission fields. The student volunteer band was organized at the Normal school in 1A14. Since that time it has done much in enlisting life service recruits, for the Mission fields. Twenty-two students have gone out into the various Mission fields from this Normal school during that time. Five students, who were members of Volunteer Band at Bellingham, represented this organization at the International World Convention at Des Moines, three years ago. Bellingham Normal was highly recommended for the live interest.in the school along tliis line of Y. W. work. Every student interested or pledged for Missionary work is cordially invited to attend the regular meetings of this organization on Sunday afternoons at 4:30 o'clock, with Miss Sperry, at 509 High street.

The giils, as well as the boys of this pai;ty, were very plucky and succeeded in hiking to the top of the difficult but beautiful Chuckanut trail, thus winning the honor of being the first girls to climb the entire trail. The names of those people, who went on the Chuckanut hike were as follows: Zella Riese, Jessie Baker, Judge Brown, Roy Hayes, Zilpha Barber, Cosby Jackson. Clyde Banks, Happy Fisher, Margaret Zui'brick, Tina Pearson and Ruth Neilson. The hikers carried their lunches with them, which they greatly enjoyed at the point of famished hunger. Everyone there reported a delightful and most wonderful trip. ' B. S. N. S. = Dr. Henry Addresses Students. Dr. T. S. Henry gave an interesting and entertaining talk on "The Psychology of Success" at Monday's assembly. He said, in part: "Man has made great strides in learning and knowledge as his numerous inventions show. Still, much credit is due to the older generations who discovered, for example, the use of fire, wheels, etc. Psychology is one of the oldest studies. Tt is only ,in comparatively recent years, however, that it has come to be studied as a science. And. like all new sciences, it has suffered from exploitation. Many statements are made by those who know very little about the subject. ••.Humanity, is always seeking for control, power, success. . True psychology has no recipe for this." In .concluding, .Dr. Henry said: "The way to get what you want is not to want what you, can't get. Take what you have and make the best use of it. Not aptitude ;but attitude toward work counts most. Assume an aggressive attack. Industry is.the price of Success." —B. S. N. S.

RUTH HTJSSEY Faculty Critic "Good morning," calls one Normal student to another, as they meet about 7:30 in the corridor. ''G-ood morning," answers the other, in a cheerful manner, though both are strangers to each other. They pass on, each to his respective classes, but somehow they are both happier because of the morning greeting. The one student is a stranger, the other a resident. The "good morning" doesn't mean to the one what it does to the other. There is something about a still, peaceful morning atmosphere that works on the human emotions, and a friendly '' good morning'' in the corridor means a happy day to the newcomer and a night not disturbed by loneliness. The "good morning" spoken so lightly by the one transforms loneliness to sunshine for the other, and as the days pass, the loneliness gradually disappears altogether, and the newcomer realizes that in Normal, everybody is friendly and the "good morning" is only the keynote by which the friendly spirit starts moving. —. B. S. N. S.— GOOD ENGLISH Assembly starts promptly at 10:00 and 9:00 a. m., on Monday and Wednesday. If you intend to come at all, why not come on time? It is rather annoying to a person who wishes to hear announcements to hear them in this fashion: "Miss"—Tramp, squeak, buzz— "See"— squeak, buzz, tramp, tramp—'' today." We, as teachers, expect promptness on the part of our pupils, and we should learn it ourselves. -B. S.N. S. There is a geueral tendency among students to leave waste paper in empty lcsks, under lockers, and on the window sills. The locker room suffers probably more from this than any other room, because it is no secluded, and because of the carelessness of some stuednts to properly place their waste material in the receptacles provided for it. If art work is taken to different class rooms don't willingly leave your scraps for the next student or the janitor to clean away. Everyone has plenty of work to do, and the next time you have waste material to throw away, don't cheapen yourself by looking.about first to see if anyone is watching but walk a few extra steps and deposit it in the right place. By so doing, you will not only cultivate the habit of orderliness but you will lessen disagreeable work for the janitor, and greatly add to^theappearance ofthe sehopl as a whole. Good English follows the standards of good usage. By good usage is meant the usage generally observed in the writings of the best English authors and in the speech of well educated people. Dictionaries, grammars, and books on rhetoric and composition record this usage, on the basis of wide observation and study. A single standard of usage is thus set up for the entire nation. Sectionalism is reduced and national unity is fostered by this means, for there is nothing so national as language. A pride in our common Americanism is today the most powerful incentive for supporting a single standard of good English. Different levels of usage exist, and what is proper to one level may not be proper to another. Common usage represents the center of the language. Literary usage is somewhat above common usage; Colloquial usage- is below it; slang is below them all. In general, written discourse is more precise and more condensed than spoken discourse, which often lends toward the more, free-and-easy colloquial usage. Colloquailisms may be allowable in informal writing that are not allowable in formal writing. The lower levels of usage, including slang, have no place in written discourse, except in narrative that reproduces the conversation of people who employ them. Usage changes from time to time. This is because language is a living thing, and grows by the- addition' of words, or by employing words in new senses and combinations. But these changes are so few, relatively speaking, that they need not occupy the attention of the student who is learning to speak and write Good English. —Woolley's Handbook of Composition. Heap.

Oh beauteous soul you have not lived in vain. This world is better, that you stayed Awhile therein, and played thy lyre, with Golden strings, From which a soul's sweet music sings, When toucued with silken fingers. Which move with grace, and lingers O'er the strings,'in love's affections. A love that holds all hearers in subjection. A dash of vivid color, against the gray. Then you are gone away, Before your limpid figure I can sketch Upon the mill gray canvas of my world. Or your fair imprint I can etch In fullness, radiant, a rare rich pearl. You are a rainbow with the hues of dawn, With covenant of friendship newly drawn. You were not greatly troubled by earth's scorn, Nor cared for praises, hollow, meaningless, shorn Of spirit that makes praise live, But your sweet life you give In sacrifice, for a world of friends", Nor seek to don a mask behind life's scenes, Out of my lips, weak, faultering at their best t speak these words, lest there cease to be a song, With message and a heart that longs. And as I trod my weary way My friend, I shall not forget to sing your praise. —Emilese Sanford. B. S. N. S. The weakest combination of words is, "I wish," and the strongest, "I will." Former Students Speaks at Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Gish, a former Normal student, arrived in Bellingham from Nan King, China, where she has been doing woman's evangelistic work and special work among the children. Mrs. Gish is very anxious to return. Among the interesting things related by Mrs. Gish, was mentioned the fact that the Chinese do not know how to enjoy life as we do, that the women stay at home nearly all the time, and that the men of the upper class take their recreations by going to the tea houses, and that the boys and girls never go on hikes. While in China. Mrs. Gish lived three b'ocks from the south entrance of the great wall of China. Mrs. Gish has taken a young Chinese boy into her home and plans to educate him in this country. When asked if she liked the work, Mrs. Gish repned, "I enjoyed the work more than any other three years in my life." B. S. N. S. ROSE PETALS.

Aunty: "Hush, child. Y'ou know: never attend those modern dances." Dr. Wood Gives interesting Lecture. Dr. Thomas "Wood, professor of Physical Education in Teachers' college of Columbia University, gave an interesting lecture on "The Recent Move in Health Education." Dr. Wood believes people should be as healthy as tall trees. Children should be as perfect, sound, and beautiful as the apples of Yakima. We know that they should at least receive as much care as automobiles. The ideal is to have the "children in the quantity and quality of their lives relatively equal the finest and best cultivated things." This cannot be realized without effort. ' In teaching health education the child is not to be made conscious of self but should have more interest in community health problems. More of the mental and social qualities of people center around sportsmanship than anything else. The movement in health education is not to stop with making people sound physically. As much attention should be paid to mental hygiene so that people will have a healthier outlook on life. "The business of life" said Dr. Wood, "is not so much to be happy as to make the world a better place to live in." Health is tied up with character, as well. Health is not an end in itself but a means to provide a community with better citizens. In order that an individual may have a more complete development he must indulge in muscular activities. Plays, games, athletics, camping, swimming, and out of door excursions provide for this muscailar development. People's minds are dwarfed without activities of the body. * —B. S. N. S.

Mr. Caskey: "This question seems to bother you, Burns!" Mr. Burns: "Not the question—but the answer." B. S. N. S. So Theie, Smarty! The difference between a woman and a glass," said B. T. "Is that the glass reflects without speaking, while a woman speaks without reflecting." IT. H.: "And the difference between you and a glass is that the glass is polished." B. S. N. S.

Last year there were some 7,000 foreign students, representing 116 different countries, in the United States. New York institutions led with over 1,000 of these students; then came Illinois and Pennsylvania with more than 700; California and Massachusetts each had over 500. Arkansas was at the end of the list with only one. B. S. N. S.- There is a movement on at the University of Chicago to rid the school of athletics and social life. By doing this gradually, and cutting the present enrollment one-third, the result will probably be the most high-brow University in the United States. The faculty holds graduate instruction and research to be the major purpose of the institution. • — B. S. N. S. That Serious Look. When you see a lad with a serious look, With a face that's grave and stern, Who acts as if he'd swallowed a book, In his great desire to learn, Don't form an opinion on the spot, As he's probably not to blame. His stack of hots, perhaps came late, And his stomach is playing a game. His mush he hid in no seconds flat, And the Java he took on the fly; So the balance of the day he wandters about, With a serious look and a sigh. The teacher says, as he passes along. "What a serious lad, that boy, He's surely making some mother glad, Some children are really a joy." His mother says, at home that night, "You're Avorking too hard, I'm afraid, Don't try to do all of your work in a day, To over-work, never has paid. I suggest that you let up a bit, * Go take in a movie or two. 'Twill help to remove that serious" look. You act so down-hearted and blue." "Dear mother," says he, "my guess is . you're right, The Prof, says, "I'm carrying a load.'" But after the show, as a midnight repast, He fills up on pie a-la-mode, So when you gaze on the serious look, Don't judge, but leave just a question, For the chances are, that the look you see, Is the result of more indigestion.

C. Comment No' thinking man would say that Americans are not, as a Avliole, . lt;ind hearted, indulgent, sympathetic, and generous hearted. With prison conditions being brought into the limelight as they have been by the Florida affairs, lie would be brave who would deny that we are also ostrich-like; we shut our eyes to what is unpleasant and deny that it exists. Prisons are necessary: society has a right to protect itself against those who break the laws whch all must obey if all are to be safe and happy. But flogging prisons, prisons where crueity is practiced, prison positions which are political rewards for deserving party workers, prisons which fake unwise but not bad men into criminals, which make criminals worse, which deform mind and body, are not necessary. When they exist, the faint is rot, primarily, with those who keep and manage them. They are certain.y not the fsiiilt of those society sends to inhabit them. They can truly be blamed upon none, but those who permit them; upon the electorate, which shuts its eyes to mail's inhumanity to man. Christian people agree to live by the Golden Rule. Christian people quote Christ and believe that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have aiso done it unto me." People of other faiths than Christian who are members of this body politic have equally strong and merciful words of their prophets by which to live, and act, and be their brother's keeper. Yet we shut our eyes; we put our hears in the sand; we wait until torture, murder, and other outrages against God and decency find their way into print to rouse us to our neglected duty towards those who no matter how they sin aganst society, are still human and therefore still made in God's image. Our section of the country has a jail; those who neither know nor care what kind of a jail it is, should ask themselves with Cain, "Am I my borther's keeper ?" Grapurchat: B. S. N.

She welcomed to the campus each and every student, and invited all of them to her office to have a social cup of tea, next Thursday afternoon. The gist of her talk was culture and character building. She stated that in the progress- of civilization, science and invention have taken rapid strides, indeed. The discovery of fire, inventing tools, weaving, antitoxins, anesthetics, artificial ice, and artificial gas have been wonderful factors in advancing civilization. But science and invention have not' done so much in the advancement of brains and morals. Probably our great psychologists are not much in advance of the ancient Aristotle or Socrates. The crying need then of the next generation is an impetus toward higher character. One of the first things to be considered in the realization of this end is the importance of choice in marriage. The marriage altar is the place to improve the next generation. The history of the Kallikak family shows that in the marriage of the normal person with the feeble-minded, for instance, the first generation may not show feeble-mindedness, but that it usually does crop out for many generations to follow. What is true of feeble-mindedness is true of all other undesirable characteristics. It is often said that character is caught, not taught. Although much of it is caught, the saying will not always hold There are various methods of teaching important factors in character building,' and not the least of these is to seize the opportunity in the classroom Whenever it presents itself. In conclusion; Miss Woodard said, "that the teacher or the mother to be desired is she who has the burden of the character of the future on her heart." B. S. N". S. Class Spirit Aroused.

The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 121 Issue 18 Bellingham, Washington Olympic Co., Shell fined $7.86 million for explosion By Courtney Howard THE WESTERN FRONT Frank King said the Department of Ecology should use a portion of the $7.86 million it levied in fines against Olympic Pipe Line Co. and Shell Pipeline Co. on Wednesday to build a baseball complex. King's son, Wade, was one of the three boys who died in Bellingham's Olympic Pipe Line explosion in June 1999. Stephen Tsiorvas and Liam Wood also died as a result of the accident. "I think it would maybe be nice if the Department of Ecology did something in Bellingham â€” if they used part of the money to memorialize those three boys that died," King said. Sheryl Hutchison, Department of Ecology communications director, said the department decided to levy the maximum $7.86 million after Olympic, Shell and IMCO General Construction Co. would not agree on a joint settlement. This fine is the largest fine the department has ever levied, Hutchison said. IMCO is being investigated because Olympic officials said an IMCO worker damaged the pipeline.

Barker said she likes running because it builds up her muscles. Western women teach girls self-confidence By Ailey Kato THE WESTERN FRONT Western graduate Leslie Pullen said she gained self-confidence and decided she did not care what other people thought about her while she was at college. During middle and high school, she said she had the same body image issues as many girls do: hair, weight and acne. "I want to give so much positive attitude, like you are OK the way you are and self-confidence," Pullen said. She said self-confidence is not something she can give, but is something she wants to teach younger girls. Pullen and Western junior Megna Patel coach one group of four girls in the Girls on the Run Forensic artist uses talent to help track criminals By Leah Hadfield THE WESTERN FRONT The role of artists in the community goes beyond murals and art shows. Bellingham resident Ellen Brown is a forensic artist who is using her ability to help track criminals. Brown drew the police sketches of the suspect who assaulted several women in May on Western's campus. University Police Assistant Chief David Doughty said an arrest in Mount Vernon led UP to the suspect. Doughty said the booking photo of the captured suspect was similar to Brown's drawings. Brown works with victims and witnesses to create an image of the suspect. She said she asks the witness broad questions about the suspect's appearance, but she only draws what the witness describes. "If the witness tells me that there's a mole (on his nose), then that's where I draw it," Brown said. Doughty said the more distinguishing characteristics a witness can supply, the more accurate the drawing. The most important aspect of interviewing a witness for a composite drawing is a comfortable setting, Brown said. She said the process involves a lot of listening and patience. "In actuality, it doesn't take long to do the sketch, but it can seem like it is taking hours," Brown said. Bellingham Police Sgt. Colin Emmett said sketch artists are used in cases that involve a crime against a person. Emmett said the police would not use a forensic artist to draw a car thief because the crime involves property. If a person Leah Hadfield/ The Western Front Forensic artist Ellen Brown uses the FBI facial identification catalog to draw a woman's face. Brown drew the police sketches for the suspect of the assaults at Western. robbed a bank, the crime is against a person and property, so a forensic artist would be used, he said. Certain cases require the forensic artist to create several drawings. Doughty said the artist does individual composites for each witness. ~~ See ARTIST, Page 4 program every Tuesday and Thursday at Bloedel Donovan Park.

"My plan is to talk to every neighborhood," Allen said. "It's important that every neighborhood is educated, that every neighborhood is talking about it and every neighborhood has a direction to take." The publicity given, to released sex offenders and those responsible for housing and tracking them has stirred up discussion and frustration within the community. "People say offenders deserve a place to live, but then say, 'Not in my neighborhood,'" Bellingham Police Chief Randy Carroll said. Louise Bjornson, a member of the Mayor's Neighborhood Advisory Commission, said she believes the community would be better off if sex offenders lived in commercial or industrial areas. "As a community member, I'm very concerned about the state funding them a house in a residential neighborhood," Bjornson said. "That's not the right thing to do, people have a right to feel safe in their own neighborhoods." The DOC and other law enforcement agencies are developing a community advisory board to develop ideas on making the transition process easier for newly released offenders, Allen said. Allen said the board then plans to take their evaluation of the local condition to the state, county and city political arenas. "When we go back to the politicians and the people, it comes with a grassroots concern that relates to the community," Allen said. Allen said the board hopes to provide housing for sex offenders. Education, counseling and substance abuse education might also be incorporated. The Bellingham Police Department is applying for a state grant for preliminary planning to locate a site for a facility to monitor released offenders, Carroll said. "We don't know if we'll get it and we don't know if the money is even available," Carroll said. In the meantime education is key for concerned community, members, Allen said. Bellingham dollars light up Civic Field Resident students to pay quarterly housing bill By Juli Robinson THE WESTERN FRONT Western freshman Rachel Zommick said she thinks paying housing and tuition under one bill next fall will make payments easier. Currently, housing and tuition bills are paid separately, but with the new system, one bill consisting of housing and tuition costs will be due each quarter. "When they budget their fees they can do it all at once," Zommick said. "Granted, it is one large sum, but it's just one/' "'' " ' Kay Rich, director of university residences, said she is also pleased with the change. "The one bill that is concise and consistent is going to help our students and families (to) be more responsible about their fiscal responsibilities," she said. Kurt Willis, associate director of University Residences, Business and Operations, said one of the primary reasons for the change is the billing statement. Many people have said it is difficult to understand. "(I never know) if I am paying for classes now, housing, the extra two credits that I added to my schedule?" Western sophomore Vicki Orievsky said. "I think if it's all on one bill, it will be easier to keep track of where the money is going." However, some students think the new system will make it more difficult to afford tuition. "It's a double slam on students financial capabilities," Western sophomore Annie Billings said. "Just because housing is going up, and tuition is going up, and then students are forced to pay that bill in one chunk. If it's spread out a little bit it's easier to take in." Although Rich said she has wanted this change for two years, her department was reluctant to move away from monthly billing because it mirrors the off- campus students' bill. Despite these concerns, Rich said students who have difficulty meeting the quarterly billing system can obtain temporary loans or seek financial counseling from the financial aid office to set up a system that meets their individual needs. "Hopefully, working with financial resources will help students manage their bills more efficiently," she said. "They've got to take some responsibility with that." Although this billing system will be new to most students, Rich said Western used it nearly a decade ago to meet the needs of students and families. With the new system, Rich said students will pay $300 by September 1 and their first quarterly payment is due October 15. By Matt Dornan THE WESTERN FRONT Athletes who make Civic Field their home during sporting events might notice a brighter field next year. The field is undergoing some improvements this summer as new lights and light fixtures are installed. The installations will increase visibility, reduce glare and be more efficient, said Marvin Harris, Bellingham Parks Operations Manager. "The new lights and fixtures will double the amount of light on the field," Harris said. "It will be a lot brighter for teams." Currently, lighting is primarily aimed at the 50-yard line and the end zones. get little light. The new system will eliminate this problem, Harris said. Some people did not know the old lights were in need of replacement. "I have never noticed a problem before," said Steve Wilson, Squalicum high school head football coach. "However, I am glad they are putting them in." 'The new lights and fixtures will double the amount of light on the field.' Marvin Harris Bellingham parks operations manager His team uses Civic Field for home football games, as well as other Bellingham High Schools, mainly on Friday nights. The Western men's soccer coach thinks the current lighting is fine. "I had no idea we were getting new lights," said Travis Connell, Western head soccer coach. "The current system is fine for what we do. I like it because it is focused down on the field and it doesn't light up the entire neighborhood." The project is going to cost $420,000 and includes new lights, fixtures, transformers, new control switches and circuit breakers. Harris said a dimming switch will also be installed, allowing the amount of light to be controlled during early evening games. During varsity football and soccer games the lights will run at full power. The money to fund this project will come out of the city's general fund, which is raised by tax dollars. Harris said because of a tight budget, the parking lot lights will not be replaced, but the Parks and Recreation Department has plans to replace those lights in the near future. "We've had some engineers come out to evaluate the parking lot lights," Harris said. "Hopefully next year we can improve those lights." The new system is designed using metal-halide gas tube lamps, which are extremely energy efficient, Harris said. The hew fixtures include shields to control 95 percent of the spill and glare light while providing higher, uniform light levels on the playing field. Harris said the existing lighting system is more than 30 years old. The equipment, which is based on the use of quartz lamps, is no longer dependable and is extremely inefficient compared to sports lighting available today. The project is expected to start in mid-June and be completed by late August. Civic Field Stadium will be closed for event use during this time.

In the case of the Western assaults, Doughty said three different victims said they could describe the attacker. Brown uses the FBI facial identification catalog to help witnesses identify characteristics of the suspect. The catalog is divided into different facial features. Each category is broken into several groups, such as squinty eyes, balding hair or large nose. When a person is threatened, they usually only see certain features, Brown said. "They're gonna see your eyes, your nose, your mouth and that's it," Brown said. "If they can spend enough time, maybe they'll see the hair and maybe the peripheral stuff will come in." Brown said she does not pressure the witness to create a description. She said some people cannot remember some of a suspect's features. The witness determines when the sketch is done, Brown said. "When they tell me I'm right on, then we end the session," she said. Sometimes the drawings are so accurate, Brown said, the witness says, "I'm getting the creeps right now." Brown said she feels like she is contributing to the community because somebody is waiting for the case to be resolved. "If it helps, I'm glad I can do that," she said. Reorganize: New plan could cost Western $375,000 Continued from Page 1 the College of Fine and Performing Arts spoke passionately about their interest in maintaining their college. "I think the legislative-style hearing of the CFPA and the senate-administered vote were very powerful in helping (Bodman) arrive in his conclusion," Gilliam said. In the final restructuring report, Bodman said the new plan would cost $375,000 a year to support the two new colleges. The cost of his old plan would have been between $37,000 and $42,000 per year for an associate dean. Bodman said funds already set aside for his earlier proposals would go toward the new colleges. He also said that money for a vice provost for faculty affairs, an unfilled position in Bodman's office, could go toward the two new colleges. "The vice provost's position is badly needed," according to Bodman's report. "However, the need for college reorganization takes precedence over the completion of the reorganization within my own office," he said. The provost's initial plan for restructuring would have merged Huxley with the science departments, created a College of Professional Studies and a University College, which would prepare students for their chosen major. The provost presented a second plan for restructuring in April that would have merged the College of Fine and Performing Arts with the Humanities and Social Sciences. He also called for the creation of a College of Science and Technology. Bodman dropped his second proposal after a faculty vote showed the majority of faculty members were opposed to it. Some faculty members are concerned with Bodman's latest proposal for restructuring. Tjalling Ypma, the mathematics department chairman, said his department is concerned about the cost of the provost's plan. He said the faculty has pressing needs that might not get attention with the new plan. The placement of the mathematics department within the new structure is also an issue because of its function to other departments, Ypma said. The department might be forced to choose between the Colleges of Science and Technology and the Humanities and Social Sciences, he said. "It's really important for us to maintain close contact with all units served," Ypma said. Bodman recommended in his report that certain departments should explore which college would work best for each department. Morse will make a recommendation about the plan to the Board of Trustees. The board will discuss the proposal at its meeting this month, Bbdihati said. Pipeline: Olympic, Department of Ecology, Shell plan negotiations Continued from Page 1 Ecology is waiting for a report from the National Transportation Safety Board expected later this summer before deciding whether to issue a fine to IMCO, she said. The Department of Ecology is allowed by law to fine each negligent company $20,000 per day for every day the environment was harmed. Hutchison said they found harm to the environment for 393 days. If the companies just pay the fines, Hutchison said all of the money will go into a state account that might not help Bellingham or the environment. "We want to go into negotiations because that's the only way we can get money back to the community," Hutchison said. She said if negotiations take place, the companies will most likely pay part of their fines by sponsoring community projects, such as education and prevention programs. Cameron Smyth, Shell Pipeline spokesman, said they plan to continue negotiations with the state and federal government. Olympic Pipe Line Co. also plans to negotiate a settlement, said Dan Cummings, the company's external affairs manager. Carl Weimer, SAFE Bellingham executive director, said during negotiations the Department of Ecology must make the companies pay for projects equivalent to the entire fine amount. SAFE Bellingham is a group that promotes pipeline safety. "As long as the Department of Ecology keeps the amount of the fines in mind when they negotiate these projects, I think it's great," he said. "I know the Department of Ecology tends to negotiate fines down often." Hutchison said the amount a company pays is rarely exactly the amount of the fine. She said although companies sometimes pay more than the fine amount, they usually end up paying less. "That's what negotiation and settlements are all about," she said. "This is basically how the court system works, so there's no mystery about that." Hutchison said the criminal cases, civil cases and fines resulting from the explosion will make the companies think twice before violating any more environmental laws. "Certainly I think these companies will learn a very harsh lesson," she said. "We hope (this fine) is a deterrent even apart from the lesson learned from this disaster." King said unless Congress passes stricter pipeline safety laws, in time the pipeline companies will forget about pipeline safety. "The question is: When is Congress going to pass some laws that are meaningful to pipeline safety ... long past the time the names Wade Kiiig, Stephen Tsiorvas and Liam Wood are forgotten?" he said. Run: Bellingham program gives girls self-respect, positive body image and health Continued from Page 1 Kathie Tupper, director of the Bellingham program, said the program prepares preteen girls for a lifetime of self-respect and healthy living. "What is important is how you feel about yourself and everything stems from that," Tupper said. Tupper said the program has been well received in Bellingham by parents, teachers and recreation centers. At this time last year, only two groups were in the program. This spring the number of groups has increased to 18. Patel said she never learned about positive body image, cooperation or community service when she was younger. "I see the lesson and it centers me," Patel said. "I learn along with them." Pullen and Patel's group looked at advertisements in magazines and tried to recognize whether party, success, independence, bandwagon or sex appeal were being used. Yvonne Barker said she likes to watch her daughter Cassandra run, who has been in the Girls on the Run program twice. She said she also likes to participate with her daughter. "(Girls on the Run is) a lot less competitive than other sports," Barker said. "They can be themselves and express their feelings." Barker said she found out about the program from her daughter's school. Barker, said the program is good for adolescent girls, because they are changing so much from childhood to adulthood. Breanna Perry, 11, said it is her first time participating in Girls on the Run, and she has always liked running. She also said she likes her coaches. "I like the program because you get encouraging words and you get cheered on," Perry said. "I really, really like running. It's fun."

St. Hilaire said he received a lot of angry phone calls, so he would rather give out four tickets to students. Students have been discouraged because they want to be able to invite close family and friends and they want more than three tickets, he said. "If students and their guests would let us know earlier that they want tickets, then we would know how many people are coming and could give out more tickets," St. Hilaire said. St. Hilaire said Carver Gym holds a maximum of 2,588 seated people, which means each graduate should get three tickets. He said his decision to offer four tickets will force the additional 220 guests to stand. "We hope people will be understanding about this situation," St. Hilaire said. "Until we get a better facility in town, then we're just stuck. Carver Gym is the best facility in Bellingham to use." Graduating senior Ross Johnston said students do not receive enough tickets. He said he thinks the registrar plan for solutions in advance incorporating all of the available venues in the area, he said. "They should have the gradu- Stephanie Kosonen/ The Western Front Western graduating senior Ross Johnston stands outside Carver Gym, where he will graduate next Saturday. He managed to get an additional admission ticket by writing to President Morse, but will give it away now that the registrar is giving four to everyone. ations at Civic Field or even arrange to have them further south like the Key Arena," Johnston said. "They have stands and semi-covered areas for guests. Most students at Western are from Seattle anyway and families wouldn't have to drive as far." If the ceremonies are not moved to a bigger facility, Johnston said he thinks Western should have a third ceremony. "Either way, I'd be happy," he said. St. Hilaire said he did not know how Western would squeeze in three ceremonies. Graduating senior Bailey Ith said he is frustrated because he cannot invite all the people he would like, including his parents, fiancee and his future in-laws. "I've worked hard at Western and it's a big accomplishment to graduate," Ith said. "I want the people closest to me, that helped me get through college, to be there." Johnston said it upsets him that students have to advertise and purchase their tickets for $50 because they" are desperate for a ticket. "A lot of people have more than three or four people in their immediate family," Johnston said. "It's a problem when Western lowers the number of tickets students get when it takes so much time and energy to get a degree." Johnston said seniors would be motivated to apply for graduation on time if they knew tickets were only available until a certain date. If students slack off and don't submit their application then they should take the ticket scraps that are left, he said. Students get chance to create user-friendly software By Matthew Saxe THE WESTERN FRONT Creating software is one thing, but computer science professor Gashwin Saleno said he wants to teach Western students to create easy-to-use software. The Computer Science department is offering a new course this summer focused on improving software for easier use. Saleno created and will teach the course titled "Man-machine Interface for a Better Display Design." To the surprise of Saleno and computer science chairman Thomas Downing, the course filled quickly during registration. "Right now we're at (full) capacity and people are begging to get in," computer science adviser Julie Marx said. Many students said they signed up for the course without knowing the course description. It is one of the electives computer science majors need to graduate. "It's one of the only upper level classes that are offered in the summer," Western senior Tom Candland said. The course offers students instruction and a broader perspective on creating user- friendly software. "The student will be able to associate and use data available from studies to adapt their programs and make them user-friendly or intuitively sound," Saleno said. Saleno said he wants students to be aware of other points of view when they program. "The objective of the class is to make students aware of problems and solutions in the computer interaction experience," Saleno said. "The focus is not programming but how to make a program user-friendly." Saleno said many people have probably experienced software that places items on the computer desktop in awkward locations. "That is one of the man-machine problems that will be addressed," Saleno said. Faculty gives back to ethnic field of study By Megan Lewis THE WESTERN FRONT As a student of the 1960s, Larry Estrada was a protester demanding that higher education include ethnic studies. The Fairhaven professor recently came full circle by becoming president of the National Association for Ethnic Studies. "Running for the position is a way of giving back to the field of ethnic and cultural studies," Estrada said. The NAES provides an interdisciplinary foriim for scholars and activists by promoting activities and scholarships in ethnic studies. Estrada said he hopes to focus the organization on international and national issues by changing curriculum and diversity. "I am rather confident that professor Estrada will take the organization to a new level of interaction with the academic communities beyond the United States, as we collectively try to find answers to the seemingly growing neglect for communal groups," NAES Director Rudy Mattai said. His participation as a strong advocate in the NAES earned respect from the members of the organization, Fairhaven Dean Ronald Riggins said. Estrada was elected in April at a convention held in Vancouver, B.C. He worked with the NAES for several years. Estrada said he led two national conferences and wrote and edited for the NAES journal. "It didn't surprise me at all that he was elected president," Fairhaven associate professor Julie Helling said. "He is the kind of person that can maintain a passion for equality, while at the same time sort of move it in a very practical direction." Estrada, who came to Western in 1989, is now the director of American cultural studies and a professor of ethnic and comparative cultural studies. He received Western's Diversity Achievement Award during the 1997-98 school year. 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) 4 ) o u n t a i n D o u t i q ue â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ 2 4 1 5 Meridian â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ # â€¢ â€¢ / f * iH We buy, consign, and trade label clothing i (must be in fashion and in season) (clothing oho gt;es Old Navy Levi Tommy Anchor Blue Abercrbmbie ' Fitch \ Etc.

Detn8or Records, a Bellingham business, presented the show headlined by Swamp. By Paul Nicholas Carlson REVIEW Techno aficionados trickled into Club Fiesta when the doors opened at 10 p.m. Sunday night. DJ Swamp finally approached the stage a little after midnight. The fans waited anxiously, but patiently, on their feet as Swamp set up his equipment. Finally, at 12:30 a.m., the veteran Disc Jockey took the stage and kept the party going well into the night. After the long wait, Swamp did not disappoint the fans because he delivered an energized show. Swamp is a 15-year veteran of the turntables, and was the 1996 USADMC Champion, a title bestowed on the winner of an annual DJ competition. Swamp is best known as Beck's DJ and has also collaborated with recording artists such as Crystal Method, BT, Kid Rock, The Bloodhound Gang, RL Burnside, Kool Keith, Devo and the Dust Brothers. His most recent album is his solo 2001 release, "Never is Now." Swamp kicked the night off with the high tech "Worship the Robots," a hip mix of bizarre vocals and electronic beats. Throughout the night, Swamp's lively antics captured the audience and kept the energy pulsing. At one point, he scratched the all-too-familiar Beverly Hills Cop theme, "Axel F," as well as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." After Swamp was through with a few of his records, he broke them, sending shards of vinyl into the crowd for the audience to fight over the souvenirs. Occasionally, he would take a second to throw free copies of his CD toward the spectators and pump up the fans for his next song. The high-energy "Demons in the Suburbs" kept the audience hungry for more from the DJ, as he resurrected the good old school knack for boasting and bragging. "All I want to do is hear the crowd scream loud, I'm the champ hands down, keep a beat and make it pound," Swamp proclaimed in "Demons in the Suburbs." In many ways, he looks like he should be fronting a hard rock band instead of running the turntables. With his long hair hanging over his face and his wallet chain shimmering in the sporadic nightclub lights, the crowd broke out into applause. The small, intimate setting of Club Fiesta allowed the fans to interact directly with Swamp, letting the audience make requests and the DJ talk with individual fans. Swamp's beats and sound are an eccentric and dynamic assortment of guitar riffs, hip-hop, elec-tronica, scratching, techno and goth surrealism. Not one to go silently into the night, Swamp Paul Nicholas Carlson/ The Western Front ended the show by DJ Swamp gets the crowd energized and on its feet breathing fire, with his scratching and breakbeat skills. lighting both his â€¢ hand and his turntables ablaze. Swamp is proof DJ'ing is as much as skill as it is an art. With his commanding lyrics and expertise with the turntable, Swamp injects energy into any beat he lays down. ---------- Western Front 2002-06-07 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front S PORTS NCAA II Intramural June 7, 2002 am Dells: Past and By Derek Sheppard THE WESTERN FRONT Spedo Southas, 79, said he remembers a time when a Bellingham Bells ticket was $1 and popcorn was 10 cents. The Bells, a local semi-pro baseball team, has been a summer staple of the city's sports scene for decades. Southas said he used to umpire many of the Bells' games and can remember thousands of people cramming into old Battersby Park on the corner of F and Girard streets. "We used to pack 'em in here," he said. Bob Nunamaker, 79, played shortstop for the Bells from 1945 to 1964, and said he remembers how devoted some of the fans were. "Gee whiz, they really backed us up," he said. "They just loved the Bells." Fans loved the Bells because of the talented players and their winning record, Nunamaker said. Nunamaker said the Bells played the best competition they could find. One year, they played a tough team from Mount Vernon that was loaded with some of the better players in the region. "They still couldn't beat us," he said. "We were a great ball club." Nunamaker said Bells center fielder Walt Richardson impressed people with his amazing speed. "He was the fastest kid I was ever around," he said. "He could really run." Richardson, 77, of Bellingham said he recalls a moment of hilarity that highlighted one of the perils of playing baseball in Bellingham â€” mud. After hitting a dribbler down the third base line, Richardson fell twice as he was running down the muddy first base line. "The crowd started to roar," Richardson said. Following the successive roars from the crowd, Richardson said he reached first base and was amazed to see the umpire call him safe. The first base coach was laughing and said, "You should ppesen t Derek Sheppard/ The Western Front Assistant groundskeeper Allen Clarke prepares the field at Joe Martin Stadium for a game on Monday.

For Richardson, his days with the Bells provide humorous memories, and stories that hold a more serious spot in his heart. Along with 20 state titles, the Bells participated in the National Semi-Pro Tournament in Wichita, Kansas, on a regular basis. He said he remembers vast crowds of 18,000 to 20,000 people packed into Lawrence Stadium in Wichita. "Well, of course you always remember Wichita," Richardson said. Brandon Newell, current pitching coach for the Bells said going to Wichita to play in the National Baseball Congress World Series is a major goal for the Bells this year. "Having fun in this game and winning go hand in hand," he said. See BELLS, Page 12 I cook*3 ; | f r lt;3Â«ffe I Cookie jars make Great Gifts!

Regardless of the inconsistency, which occurs regardless of the fishing spot, Bellingham offers some great fishing for everyone, Deller said. Deller, 37, moved to Bellingham from the East Coast in August and said he fishes in various waters. Lake Padden, Silver Lake, Nooksack River and Skagit River all provide good fishing, he said. "You can always go somewhere to fish without a boat, and there is a lot of fish in the rivers here," he said. "On the East Coast, you need a boat for everything." Silver Lake, which is located off Mt. Baker Highway in Maple Falls, is always a good place to find fish, said Western senior Brian Reinhardt. "Silver Lake is the best right now," he said. "They stock the lake every year, so there's a ton of fish to catch. On good days, you can catch your limit in an hour." The Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates the amount of fish that can be caught. According to its Web site, the catch limit in rivers is two per day. In lakes, reservoirs and ponds the limit is five. It is also necessary to purchase a license based on the type of fishing. A fresh water license Jim Deller, 37, of Bellingham, August, said "You can always is $21.90, a salt water license is $19.21 and a shell fish license is $7.67. A combination package, which includes all three, is available for $78.84. Reinhardt said he likes to fish at Lake McMurray in Mount Vernon. He said the bait shop casts his bait into Lake Padden go somewhere to fish without a displays the biggest fish caught each year. "Last year someone caught a rainbow (trout) that was 32 _ inches and 14 pounds," he said. "That's huge for a rainbow."

Deller, who moved from the East Coast in boat,... on the East Coast, you need a boat for everything." trout and perch. Deller said he fishes at Lake Padden because it is relaxing and it is possible to catch some large fish. "It's peaceful out here," he said. "It's just you and the water. Some days you don't catch anything and you just think. Other days you're so busy reeling in bites you don't have time to think." Western senior Andrew Bartram said he feels the same way. "Lake Padden is a very peaceful and serene lake," he said. "The atmosphere is almost intoxicating." Deller said he uses different types of bait including crawlers, spoons and corkies. Crawlers are worms, spoons are a type of lure that look like a minnows and corkies are round yellow balls, Deller said. He said his most unusual bait is colored yarn and a corkie, which he uses in rivers. "I use the colored yarn and spray it with a shrimp smell and tie it to a corkie," he said. "It bounces along the bottom and the yarn resembles a tail." |l|/len and women at least iShears of age who have suffered from perslsflfi; |j||||hia forat least 6 months are needed to participate in a eliniea] re||i|S|j ^^^^^^,iS|||n^n^^gat[pnal tiÂ§e'-cjfMfkete$dftf^ .oojhree O'Ojrrcn. ]p gt;.aii.o. a j o t l l soir-ena-ess o . o i r e e iromtni la m l ii. t i l l i ng j j o i m i ts . . . f r e e ilpoma pa-a. in r e l i e v e rs If you have an old injury, limited range of motion or justa constant pain in the knee, shoulder; elbow, hand or ankle, Northwest Orthopaedic Surgeons may be able to brighten your world.

The Bells are shown playing in Battersby Park at the corner of F and Girard streets before the grandstands were demolished. Bob Nunamaker, 79, who played shortstop for the Bells, said 2,000 to 3,000 people used to attend the home games. "We used to fill that ballpark night after night," he said. Bells: Building on past success Continued from Page 10 The Bells were absent from Bellingham during much of the 1970s and 1980s to make way for a number of Seattle Mariners minor league teams before the Everest Aquasox were formed. The Bells returned in 1999. Newell said the Bells players come from colleges from across the United States and Canada to play for the summer. Currently, the Bells are 1 for 3, and the first home game in Joe Martin Stadium is June 14. "It's baseball for two months," Newell said. "That's what they're here for." Jeff Francis, a pitcher from the University of British Columbia, was picked in the first round of the Major League draft by the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday. "If pro baseball is in their cards, we're not going to stop them from going that route," Newell said. "We wish him all the best." While Francis might not stay with the Bells if he signs with the Rockies, Newell said he looks forward to helping others improve as baseball players and have a good time this summer. Jesse Newell, a Bells infielder, said he is looking forward to the new season. "It's fun to experience playing with new people," he said. Nunamaker said he remembers enjoying the company of his teammates too. "I liked all the guys," he said. "They were the greatest bunch of guys you could meet."

The Christian church should not allow homosexuals to hold leadership or ministry positions. Such an action, as contrary as it is to the standards and commands for purity required of a leader, would be detrimental to the foundations of the Christian faith. In Seattle this week, the Rev. Mark Williams of the Woodland Park United Methodist Church was allowed to remain a minister even after announcing his homosexuality. After a year-long investigation by the United Methodist Church as to whether Williams' sexual preference violated Christian leadership standards, the investigative committee unanimously decided Williams could go back to pastoring his church. This decision brings up a huge conflict of convictions and morals throughout the Christian church. A leader knowingly disobeying a religious standard or commandment is a recognizable inconsistency in any religion â€” making it hypocritical and unstable. If the church can make its own stigmas and exceptions for acts that are considered wrong in the Bible, what is to keep it from deciding that leaders may also violate other foundational standards and still hold a position of respect? This is slowly occurring in the Catholic church. The standard for purity in the church has been s watered down so much already many people do not see the difference between what is said to be righteous and what is considered secular. The only difference that really stands out is the church puts on holy airs and condemns others for their ways of life while allowing the same to go on inside. This hypocrisy turns people off completely because, while being condemned by the Church, they are not given a chance to see any alternative to the life they know. The experience often leaves them with a bitter taste in their mouths and often more emotional wounds. Additionally, if standards are removed or chosen at whim for those in leadership positions, what makes the leaders more qualified or equipped for a position of example, responsibility, righteousness and teaching? Nothing. Once exceptions are made in one area of religious conviction, more are sure to follow. As the standard of purity declines and compromise enters the Church in the name of justice, tolerance and equality, the validity of the faith will become untrustworthy and artificial. If this compromise is allowed to continue throughout church leadership, who is to then say a minister may not also choose for himself whether infidelity or unfaithfulness should be considered moral wrongs? In any other religion, it would be seen as foolishness to allow the leaders to participate in activities which were condemned by religious laws and fundamental teachings. For example, a Jewish rabbi would never be allowed to enter the synagogue after violating the Mosaic law, and a Hindu or Buddhist monk would no longer be given respect after sleeping with a woman. Such compromises severely damage the stability and legitimacy of any religious fundamental teaching. Williams said he and his church were pledging themselves to every and all types of people, no matter what preferences, orientations, situations or conditions they might come from. Such a statement appeals to the humanitarian, civil rights, equal opportunity move that is dominant in modern thought and philosophy today. For the Church to try to fit such incompatible factors, as allowing a leader to violate the religious law as well as set the example for a congregation, is illogical. No one could put their faith in an entity that allowed hypocrisy to run rampant throughout its leadership. Thus, the United Methodist Church should seriously rethink their latest decision, and re-evaluate the apathy with which they view religious compromise.

Western Provost Andrew Bodman is finally getting the idea. His latest college restructuring proposal is the best decision for each department involved. The $375,000 price tag, however, is questionable during a budget crisis that required a 14 percent tuition increase. His proposal calls for retaining the College of Fine and Performing Arts and creating a College of Science and Technology and a College of Humanities and Social Sciences.' Bodman has decided to reallocate money for a "badly needed" vice provost to the restructuring. While this plan seems to be the best option for Western, stur dents will not be satisfied until more information is provided about where the additional funding will come from and how such reallocation will affect the campus. "The need for college reorganization takes precedence over the completion of the reorganization within my own office," Bodman said. Other money for the project would come from money put aside for an associate dean's position. In Bodman's April proposal, he suggested combining departments from the College of Arts and Sciences with the College of Fine and Performing Arts to make a College of Science and Technology. This plan was poorly thought-out, as many students, like those in the music department, would have a dean with little or no experience in their field. The newest proposal is a step in the right direction, but the biggest problem Bodman will face will be convincing the student body that the restructuring's a good idea. To many students, lack of interest and information has turned the restructuring into a vague representation of Western bureaucracy. Bodman will have an uphill struggle convincing students the new college is worth $375,000. Bodman said reallocating other school funding will provide the heeded money, but many might protest using the money for a highly administrative change, instead of things like more campus lighting. Bodman's new plan is not without merit. To keep up with Western's increasing enrollment, an additional college will eventually be necessary to meet student's heeds. It also is a fair solution for music students, as the previous plan shuffled them to the outskirts of a college of humanities and social sciences. The newest plan also keeps student interests in mind, as the College of Fine and Performing Arts has no current dean to speak out for students. No one can deny Western is growing. Changes are needed to ensure students are provided with both a quality education and deans committed to progressive and personalized leadership. Restructuring offers a clear path to a better university but it cannot be successful without student input and support.

This was once the scene at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Wash. As of Memorial Day weekend, the campground no longer serves beer. It is as dry as its surroundings. Most campers at The Gorge depend on alcohol to relieve them from the dirge and dust of the campground. Tripping through the swirling gusts of dirt is not so bad when you've swigged a few down from the Bacardi gallon and hit the beer bong at least once. Music lovers have no reason to camp there now. "It's so damn stupid," said Seattle Pacific University senior Kevin Olson. "It's not as if I camp at The Gorge for its beauty; we just want to party." The Gorge campground is no Utopia for true campers.' Lush trees, flowering shrubs and cool bodies of water are only mirages. As a matter of fact, the only water at the campground is the crowded shower stalls at base camp. No, The Gorge campground is more like a junk yard in a hot Californian desert. It consists of one big dirt field with prickly plots of randomly placed weedlike grass and an abundance of garbage covering the site. The campground always has many wild and friendly people, clear skies .and temperatures in the 80s. Come the morning after though, campers realize that people were only so cool with beer goggles on, the hot sun is about to suffocate them in their tent and it is definitely time for another beer. It's just not as fun without the ice-cold beers from Styrofoam coolers, mixed drinks in blue plastic cups lined with sand or everyone's favorite: Warm kegs. Without alcohol, not much is to be done or seen. A lack of camp-fires, which the campground does not permit, makes the alcohol even more necessary after nightfall. At $35 per night per car to camp, it is no wonder concert goers are angry. Now that the site is dry, cars are subject to random searches for alcohol. "I didn't get searched, we snuck the alcohol in," Western junior Brett McKinley said. "Lots of people managed to sneak in their alcohol, but it definitely wasn't as laid back and fun as usual." Both McKinley and Olson attended the Sasquatch Festival at The Gorge Amphitheater during Memorial Day weekend. "Cops and attendants were walking around confiscating drinks and regulating on parties," Olson said. "It was a major downer on the night. We just wanted to relax and drink our beers." The campground will gradually lose guests, and therefore money, as the campers realize they will be denied the right to drink alcohol. Several students have mentioned they will not be returning to the campground unless allowed their precious drinks. For those looking for other alternatives to The Gorge campground, several surrounding overnight spots, such as Lake Quincy, Moses Lake, Vantage and Ellensburg, provide camping mostly at no cost. If one is willing to drive 20 minutes to the amphitheater, See GORGE, Page 15 Sept.11 hindsight is 20/20 Mike Baab COMMENTARY Nearly nine months after the Sept. 11 attacks, terrified the nation into an inspirational and often cloying spirit of unity, the personal attacks, criticism and partisan badgering that made the 90s such a guilty pleasure are finally back. President George W. Bush, the FBI and the CIA have been under the media's steamroller in the past few weeks for their role in what U.S.. Sen. Richard Shelby, R- Ala., called a "massive failure" of intelligence. As more pre-Sept. 11 intelligence is uncovered, the government is being held responsible for not keeping the hijackers on the.ground. , This is a perfect example of 20/20 hindsight. The president did not know enough before the attack's to stop them. Even with some sloppy work on the part of the government, the the Sept. 11 attacks could not have been forseen or prevented. . Imagine the world before Sept. 11: The United States seemed impregnable, and Osama bin Laden was just a name that popped, up in the boring sections of the New York Times or in the occasional "Jeopardy!" question. Government agencies could never have forseen the attack because before Sept. 11, the al Qaeda threat was simply one of the hundreds the United States was under every day. To expect the government to take drastic action based on the information they had is absurd. The CIA knew a suspected terrorist was taking flight lessons in Arizona. It is easy to look at that fact now and see it as a red flag, but at the time, it was simply something a little dubious. The government cannot be expected to arrest, detain or interrogate someone just because they are learning how to fly. Furthermore, nothing less See HINDSIGHT, Page 15 ---------- Western Front 2002-06-07 - Page 15 ---------- June 7, 2002 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 Hindsight: Bush, FBI could not have prevented Sept. 11th terrorism Continued from Page 14 than a massive change in policy would have been necessary to prevent the attacks. Those who say Bush should have tightened security at airports after he received word Osama bin Laden was planning to hijack planes are forgetting the terrorists never broke the law until they got out of their seats and took over the planes that morning. The terrorists were all flying under their real names, and carrying nothing that was prohibited on flights at the time. For Bush, or anyone, to prevent the attacks, the rules at every airport in the country would have to be overhauled dramatically. One of the things that gave the hijackers so much power over the passengers on the flights was that they said they had a bomb on board. They still could have used bomb threats and old fashioned brute force to take control of the jets, even if they had not snuck sharp objects onto the flight with them. Those who criticize the government's actions see the Sept. 11 warnings as a loud, flashing siren that something was amiss. The truth is the only portent of the attacks was a sprinkling of cautious memos a few weeks before the attacks. If the government starts making drastic policy changes because of some exploratory memos, then Americans should fear the bureaucracy more than the terrorists. 6^otvÂ± raoo Thursdays.

A dry Gorge is a sober Gorge. One huge expanse of leveled dirt and dust, lacking in shade and water, was never the ideal campground. Now campers are being deprived of their only source of relief from the desolate, filthy landmass called a campsite. Without alcohol, the future looks bleak. Officials of The Gorge campground need to rethink their restriction and bring alcohol back.

Laddie, "the little boy who plays for universities", and his mother, the celebrated violinist Estelle Gray- Lhevihne, will perform in the assembly at 11 a: m., Monday, Dec. 12 Laddie is one of the youngest of American piano artists. When he was only four years old, Laddie was presented before a Pacific Musical society audience at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. He played Bach, Hadyn, Beethoven and Mozart. At six he made his Eastern debut and was hailed by critics and public alike'for the individuality and charm of his interpretations. The New York Musical Courier wrote "Laddie plays Mozart with the poetic soul of genius". Monday, Laddie will play Mozart and be dressed as the genius was dressed at his age. ' Musical America, of New York,' devoted an editorial to the lad's accomplishments, laying stress upon his. individuality. Yet."at the age of ten, he is still a child, singularly unspoiled by plaudits." His distinguished mother only allows. Laddie to travel a few weeks ;eaeji.year, for his development. The, rest; pi the,tinie he lives a rustic life in his San Francisco bay home, with earnest diversified studies in advance of the usual boy his age. For the past three years Laddie has been a piano pupil of Lev Shorr, who is a graduate of Petrograd conservatory- and the teacher of Laura' Dubman. Estelle Gray-Lheyinne tells the story of each piece' before she plays the music. The New York Times says she is the "outstanding violin personality of the hour". She plays two historical Cremona violins that were made in 1675 and 1715. • • • ' ^—- o— : Artists for Monday's Assembly LADDIE BOY AND HIS MOTHER, GRAY-LHEVINNE ASSEMBLY SHIFTS Christmas Party to Furnish Finale for Quarter Facts Uncovered by Questionnaire Next Tuesday's assembly has been shifted to Monday morning at eleven o'clock.

She will take her listeners on an imaginary tour to a bookshop to select suitable Christr mas books for boys* and girls. Among the many books to be discussed by Miss Doty is the "Modern Machine Age", a book for boys that should captivate their attention and interest. For the little tots,. "Today's A B C Book" is colorful and different from the usual book of that type. "Swift River" by Cornelia Meigs, was written for children, but grown-ups will enjoy the subtle - undercurrents that run through the lines. "Waterless Mountain" is the John Newbery award for 1933.

Being a short, short story of four chapters. Time: Tomorrow. I picked a purple lilac arid pinned it to your breast, and jokingly I told you it was my heart I laid at rest. And then—and then—I kissed you! And in the raptured hush I saw my moon-touched lilac, between us had been crushed. Crushed and bent, yet so content —splashed above your heart; and then I knew my jest was true—that lilac was my heart. Time: Day after Tomorrow. Dead? Dead? It cannot be. Why, yesterday she was life, itself, laughing and singing and clicking her heels at worry and care. So soft were her arms and body warm—yet I saw her rigid and cold; dancing eyes that mocked me^-closed forever, to tease me no more; lips, once rd, and full of caresses, r saw them—flat and pale. And her hair—ah, that was her glory! They had it brushed back smooth from her brow, but -I put the wave again on her forehead like a careless, happy strand, hiding the little scar she has carried so long. Somehow she wasn't SO'dead that'way, nor seemed so far away from me. Time: The Same Night. . , Just leave me alone in the firelight with my dreams and briar pipe—living again the gladness,, thrilling again at the madness, feeling again the sadness now part of oblivion's night. . .' r Time: Later the Same Night. The deadening gloom of this lonely room stifles my very breath, and a cruel, heartless moon is mocking my doom, and watches for my death. .A creeping cold is taking hold—I only want to rest—the sand has run, my hour's done, Life's sun is in the West. . o ..•-•'• — • « •• Oh the " AMFUS Side of the E Y H Q L E Collins Museum Givenflo ScM||| By 1M R^den^^^^^^ N EXT QUARTER WILL ET CHANGES T H E BEGINNING OF N E X T quarter will find a large turnover in the student working forces in the Normal school. The grade system adopted by the faculty last summer will be the direct cause. Students who have but one or two quarters left to obtain their diplomas will find themselves without the jobs they have been holding for the past three and four quarters, which represented their largest financial reason for staying in school. IT W O U L D A P P E A R that the standard of 2 .4 set by the faculty is too high as only 2.0 is required at our state college and university. And the rule which will go into effect next quarter should concern only students entering at that time, not those who have been working on the' beats. IT IS R U M O R E D that students may enter their cases for exception before a faculty committee. If this is true it would be greatly appreciated if the sudents were so informed. ' Agitation is growing 'among the students, and something definite will have to be announced immediately. The quarter is drawing to a close and students must know what to decide for the future. THE EDUCATION O F T H E 2.4 student is just as valuable to him as the 3.5 student. Probably one of the reasons his, grades are at 2.3 or 2.4 is because he has to work and fight his way for an education. But in all fairness, he must b given a chance. CASE FOR TROPHIES OULDBEUSED MAY W E SUGGEST that some political aspirant stress' the need of a trophy case for Normal prizes in his campaign speeches next quarter. Money placed in a project of this sort would indeed be well spent. Coach Carver states that the school possesses many athletic trophies that have been put. a way in the vault and in the attic because there is no place where they may be displayed before the students. SEVERAL OF T H E cups were stolen from the attic when they were moved there a considerable time ago. We should be proud of our school's winnings, and place them on display for the students—not in some corner to be stolen. W H E N OUR TEAMS visit other schools on their athletic trips they return home with stories of seeing trophies on display in a prominent place. There is no reason at all why the board of control can't authorize the order of a cabinet, and the collection of the cups and pennants. Beeg triangle in the DAHL-." QTJIST HOGAN affair.

Will Be Broadcast Tonight The climax of this dramatic Christmas play will be unfolded to the students both in the Friday morning assembly and over the air in the evening from 9:30 to 10:00. o'clock. Since this play marks the close of both air presentation and assembly programs for the quarter, listeners and auditors may look for a finished piece of work. Special attention has been given to the preparation of the play to be presented in assembly next Friday, Dec. 16. The literary interpretation class, under tne guidance of Victor H. Hoppe has been consistently turning out work of superior quality. One-act plays and other forms of the dramatist's art have been offered to the students, both in the as- ; sembly and over the air. This final play, under the title "Thirty Pieces of Silver", has a moral, and the hearts of many should be touched by the manner in which that moral is developed and "put over". The Play Louise Lawrence, who did such ah outstanding piece of work as Aunt Agatha in "Alison's House", carries the part of Prudence . Prudence is a hard woman; even on Christinas eve she finds the power in her heart to turn from her door a broken, bleeding wanderer.

By FLORENCE It's snowing, and the wintry wind dost blow—How'd.. you., like., some warm and woolly ideas? This should bring joy to your heart—a turtle neck scarf. It is like a wristlet gone ineckwise. In reality just a straight tubular piece of alternate rows of knitting and purling which flares into a little collar cape—just as if you started to knit a turtle neck sweater and got tired before you came to the sleeves. The undeniable fifteenth century flavor is not the least of its charms. Another clever idea (not mine, I assure you). Take a long narrow piece of knitted, fabric fringed on the end; this is folded in half and stitched up one side from the fringed ends almost to the fold, where an opening?is left an inch and a half long. You wind it about the neck, slip the fringed end through the slit and, Voila! You.have the smartest and newest thing in Schiaparelli scarfs. Skipping into the evening mode-woolen gowns are not absolutely a novelty—|I've been wearing outing flannel for a week)..But, to get back to the subject. I'm serious about thin wool evening"gowns. They are ultra-ultra-ultra-simple in line. Dark colors predominate, tete-de-negre, bottle green, and. wine shades, though some white. Their chic is in lack of adornment, which is rather remarkable during the present era of abundant chromium plate, from earrings to automobiles. Quite irrelevant to wooly clothes, but I can't resist mentioning them, are the new evening hats. Just a halo of twisted velvet, set saucily on top of a mere wisp of crispy mesh veil. Quite a booh on the evenings your waves are cutting up^ Christmas is coming and it's the clever child who knows the power of suggestion. Speaking of Christmas-—have you seen the latest compact, or should I say flapjack? It not only has loose powder and a swansdown puff, but you can view everything but your tonsils in its beveled mirror. It will give you a great kick. So will the price tag.

With the score 27-26, Sorenson missed a foul shot that would have knotted the score. Sorenson and Harris, fiery forwards, and Nolte, guard, were outstanding for the Hilltoppers.

Possibly the only disadvantage as the league now stands is that the games take up too much time, especially with three games scheduled for one night; and the first encounter starting at 7:15. By cutting the teams down to six entries this would eliminate the night struggles. Pete Baffare, a Renton product, was announced as the winner of the Rotary Medal, presented to the most outstanding football player during the season just past at the Ellensburg Normal school. Over at Whitman college, Les Voris, a former Viking football star, was voted the Niles trophy for being the greatest inspiration to his team mates during the past season. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the local sport followers to get together and acquire some sort of an honorary award to be presented to Bellingham's most outstanding athlete of the year. We had in this institution one of the best milers to run in college competition in! the person of Norman Bright and we have with us now one of the best football stars in these parts, but not even as much as a tin cup to remember these men.by. In a couple of years entering freshmen and upperclassmen will know nothing of the men who made history in this school of ours. And when someone mentions Bright or Sulkosky, they will probably ask, when were they president of the institution? Anyway something should be done about the matter.

The decision, made by Director of Athletics LyndaGoodrich, was announced Wednesday. "Li coaching you're constantly evaluated," Goodrich said. "Wejust decided it was time for a change." The decision to look for a new coach is part of Western'scommitment to excellence in athletics, Goodrich said. "It has more to do with where we want to go,"Goodrich said. Goodrich did not give specific reasons why Hansen's contract will not be renewed.Hansen issued a prepared statement Wednesday afternoon. "First, I would like to thank the assistantcoaches, players, university peers and wonderful people in the community, who have given metremendous support for the past six years," Hansen stated. "I will miss the players and all of thoseassociated with the football program. The groundwork has been established and I am pleased with theteams' potential for the future." Hansen was unavailable for any further comments. The "change" is part of Goodrich's overall plan of taking Western athletics to the top. "We're totally committed to bringing thefootball program to the championship level," Goodrich said. "I did not come in with any pre-conceivednotions," she added. "But, there are on-going evaluations, and that means sometimes making harddecisions, sometimes unpopular." "I've been here for 18 years and I'm a graduate," Goodrich said. "I'm here to make decisions for this university for the long run." Telephone calls are pouring in from potentialcoaches to fill the vacancy. "I have already received numerous calls from potential applicants and advicefrom others on who to pick," Goodrich said. see HANSEN, p.5 wstey/ihe Front Former Viking footballcoach Paul Hansen inspects his team while they do calisthenics shortly before their loss to PLU.Players have mixed feelings By Herb Reich of The Western Front Football players were shocked to hear their head coach, Paul Hansen, will not return for the 1989 season. The football team learned Hansenwould not be back at the same time the public did. Hansen met with the team Thursday to explain hiscontract would not be renewed. "It is hard for me to find justification for what they (the athleticdepartment) did," said Kelly Susee, a strong safety. "It was strange for me because the players were inthe dark about it. We were hearing it at the same time as everyone else. "He knew the Monday beforethe PLU game and he didn't let us know anything was wrong," Susee said. "I think that is great."Players disagreed about Hansen's coaching abilities. "I'm shocked about the whole thing," said seniorkicker Peter LaBarge. "I've got mixed emotions," LaBarge said. "I think its too bad because everythingwas on the rise. There was some player-coach communication problems. Some people quit during theyear who thought they were being mistreated." Defensive end Rudy Grandbois said a play would becalled repeatedly when aplay was working, but sometimes a play would be repeated when it was notworking. "I feel Hansen was trying. I think if he would have had a few more assistant coaches he mighthave done better. Some of the guys were not to happy with the plays he was calling," Grandbois said.see PLAYERS, p.5 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 Students shun sexual harassment By Gail Skurlaof The Western Front Sexual harassment is illegal, intolerable and a problem on campus, said ConnieCopeland, director of the Office for Student Life, during a panel discussion Tuesday on sexualharassment. The panel, part of "Power and Sex Week," was sponsored by the Associated StudentsHuman Resource Program. See related stories on p.3 Swan Dahmouh, a Fairhaven graduate andpanelist, spoke about sexual harassment she said she received from a Western professor last year.Last year she and another student filed a joint sexual harassment complaint. Dahmouh said she "felt a lack of trust... and safety" about taking a class with the professor. She didn't elaborate on whathappened, but noted she "walked around with a lot of anger." Filing a formal complaint helped herregain her self-esteem, she said. The university administration was "a place for me to turn." Dahmouhsaid the university acknowledged her statements, and when the professor didn't accept theuniversity's sanctions, he quit his job. "What I did was right," Dahmouh said. Western first identifiedsexual harassment as an issue in 1979, Copeland said, and she noted the slow growth of awareness oncampus. "The biggest confusion surrounding (sexual harassment) is what it is and what it isn't," she said. see HARASSMENT, p. 3 Presentation exposes pornography victims By Erika Williams of TheWestern Front Linda Carr Pornography is used to perpetrate violence against women, emphasize racialand gender inequality, and expose men's and women's sexual identities. Linda Carr, a Fairhaven student in Women's Studies, presented this view at a pornography forum Thursday at the Viking Union as part of Power and Sex Week. She recently was involved in the passage of Initiative 1-C, limiting pornography in Bellingham. "It's an intertwining of power and sex. It's important for people to see it and what itsmessages are," she said. Pornography, an $8 million industry, is becoming more available and bringingviolence into the home. Gas stations, convenience stores and video rentals have contributed to thegrowing trade. "Pornography contributes to the (stereotyped) impression of all women through crimesagainst individual women. It helps to reinforce those beliefs about what men and women are," Carrexplained. As laws now exist, it is legal to sell films showing rape for profit, she said. Victims have nopower to remove such films from distribution, even if the victim can prove in a court of law the crimewas committed against his or her will. "Every day, that woman is raped again. She has no control overthat," Carr said. Her presentation centered" on the film "Pornography: A Practice of Inequality," compiled between 1983 and 1985 by Organizing Against Pornography: A Resource Center for Education andAction, based in Minneapolis. A "sampling" of different categories of pornography is represented.Violence and sex in advertising, women being brutalized by men and murder as the ultimate sexualexperience are represented in various magazines currently in circulation. "Power is always the centralissue. The reality is that women have limited choices ... therefore they end up doing things they don'twant to do," Carr said. Nearly 70 percent of women involved with pornography were victims of incest, shesaid. Other women are forced to remain in the industry through blackmail. "This is not just a bunch ofdirty old men. It is becoming a normal part of our society. We've got a whole system of inequality andhierarchy in society (to accept pornography)," said Carr. Audible reactions from the presentationincluded expression of shock, disgust and anger. "I was shocked at the availability of this kind ofmaterial," an audience member said. ---------- Western Front - 1988 November 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 THE WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 Addiction can cause strife in relationship ByMary Beth Neal of The Western Front People in co-dependentrelation-ships are trying for "cookbook"relationships, hoping if they follow certain steps, everything will turn out fine. What this really doesis make them "insecure, neurotic and emotional," said Rick Trelesven, a family therapist from theProvidence Recovery Program in Everett. As part of "Power and Sex Week," he led a workshopWednesday on the problems of co-dependent relationships. Trelesven focused on co-dependence,relationships between addicts and non-addicts, although he emphasized addiction is not always a part of co-dependent relationships. People who are co-dependent "react to the needs of another withoutbeing able to meet their own needs directly," he said. If someone in a co-dependent relationship is asked how she's doing, she'll answer by focusing on her partner's problem. "Oh, Joe's doing fine; he's notdrinking so much," Trelesven said. Trelesven called life with an addict a "Jekyll and Hyde" cyclicalexistence, which makes it difficult for others to predict when it's safe to approach them. Alcoholics,for instance, start their cycle hung-over and irritable. They drink to get rid of the side-effects and start tofeel better, he said. As their blood-alcohol level decreases, they start to feel depressed. Later, theymight pass out, but when they wake up, the cycle repeats. Trelesven gave the example of an eight-year-old girl living with her alcoholic mother. The child approached her mother at different stages of hermother's alcoholic cycle and got a different response each time. In the example, when the girl wascuddled and praised, she tried to remember what she did to provoke it. She didn't realize it made nodifference when her mother was at the down part of the cycle. He said families adapt to the "wet anddry" cycle of the addict, but it's as if they were "walking on eggshells." Families learn not to see theproblem because, "If a problem doesn't exist you can't have feelings about it," Trelesven said. Trelesvensaid those in co-dependent relationships, "struggle for control of the uncontrollable. In the process ofbeing a caretaker for an addict, you lose yourself."

Debate duo placesin top 8 By Sara Britton of The Western Front Competing against more than 50 colleges, Western'sdebate team had one championship-level duo place in the top eight in last weekend's tournament atCalifornia State University at Sacramento. The team of Devin Burghart and Debbie Halbert beat SanDiego State in the seventh round and lost to UCLA in the quarter finals to tie for fifth place. The teams ofMichelle Hauser and Traci Sperry, and David Miller and Jeff Asch also placed in the top 20. "Our teamswere pretty successful," said debate Coach Tim Allen. "It was an extremely competitive tournament."Hauser explained that out-of-state tournaments are good experience because debaters are exposed todifferent cases and different styles of judging. "It was pretty exciting," Hauser said. "Somehow, itseems like we do even better out of our district." This successful contest follows award-winningtournaments at Lower Columbia College and the University of Puget Sound. Allen is enthusiasticabout upcoming events. Besides having quite a few experienced debaters, he said he has a lineup ofnew talent, including sophomore Norene Walton. "She just came out of the blue," Allen said. "Peoplearound the Northwest are starting to call her Western's secret weapon." Out of 35 teams competingin the Northwest region, Western is currently ranked third behind Gonzaga and the University ofOregon. This quarter, teams are debating whether the U.S. political system would benefit from theinfluence of a nationally-recognized third party. â€¢â€¢â€¢liiniHRi^pHBiHIiiH Deadline for a h n o u ^ -PERMANENT ID/LIBRARY CARDS for new fall quarter students have arrived and may be picked up at the Library Loan Desk.

ARBY'SPRESENTS A FEW GREAT REASONS TO BOYCOTT BURGERS! 1XSIE THE ABUTS On SamishWay Enjoy Weekly Specials at Arby's and ^ save 20% Mys ---------- Western Front - 1988 November 18 - Page 3 ---------- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 THE WESTERN FRONT 3 S E X Harassment policy criticized, examined POWER Panelists site sexism examples By Gretchen Hafterson of The Western Front Training to besubordinate starts early, said Bettylou Valentine, of the anthropology department, during the Sexismin Education forum. Many of the panelists agreed with her and talked about the need to change thelowest levels of education to eliminate sexism. 'The things we are talking about must be continuallyworked at," panel member Valentine said. "The system we are in is not a system that is good towomen." Marie Eaton, of the education department, said sexism causes women to not challengethemselves in education. "To change this, not only do we need to educate the teachers, but also thelearners," she said, "to recognize sexism and to recognize their right not to be degraded." Eaton saidshe believes everyone has the right to have role models in their own discipline. Geraldine Prody, of the chemistry department, said the lack of female role models is especially evident in the traditionallymale fields of science and technology. At Western, 12 percent of the teachers in the biology department and 7 percent in the chemistry department are women, and no women are in the physics and thegeology departments, according to this year's catalog. Overall, in science and technology only about10 percent of the faculty are women. Prody said sexism problems arise in the classroom too. Teacherscall on men more often and give them a longer time to answer, she said. When females have male labpartners, the men usually do the experiment and the women record the data. Page backs up thesefindings with some of her own experiences, but said she had some breaks. "One of the most importantthings I did was go to an all-girl high school, with all female teachers. They nurtured me," Page said."No one said I shouldn't go into science." She agreed with Valentine and said there is a need to changethe way young children are taught. Women need to improve theirposi-tion in society. Dana Jack, ofFairhaven College, spoke on sexism in psychology- "Psychology has been formulated by men,and has used men as subjects. In empirical studies up to the past 10 years, this made men the normand women the deviation." She said this causes an inner division between the part of the woman that istrying to live up to the model, male norm and the woman's own feelings and experiences.Interdependence between people is not given enough attention in psychology, and women trying toadapt to the male models may become alienated. To overcome this, women need to be recognized inpsychology, Jack said. "What if our models are radically one-sided, and they devalue women?- Thenour understanding of our psychology needs revision," she said. The audience showed agreement withthe panelists on most subjects. David Flash thought the discussion was good, with the exception ofsome of the comments on independence. "Separatism worries me. I think men and women can benefitfrom learning together." Laura Vance, who was in charge of the event, was pleased at the size of theaudience. She said the most important aspect of the discussion was to share views and to let peopleknow they weren't alone in the way they think. She chose the panelists because they represent afeminist perspective and they all came from different departments. Jennifer Laughton, a biologygraduate, was very impressed. "I liked seeing a woman who's teaching in science. They should dothese more often." continued from p. 1 Sexual harassment covers a wide range of behaviors, from theovertly sexual to subtle "non-verbals," she noted. Regardless of how it is done, sexual harassment has a "profound emotional impact." A Western pamphlet entitled "Ignoring It Won't Make It Go Away" definessexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other unwantedverbal or physical conduct of sexual nature, which create an offensive, hostile and intimidatingenvironment, especially when the harasser is in a position of institutional power." It affects the core ofhuman beings, Copeland said. "We have to get in touch with some of our gut feelings about it," sheadded. Copeland presented the video "You are the Game: Sexual Harassment on Campus."Scenarios of gender-related discrimination and actual sexual "passes" were dramatized. In the video,victims were either bullied and patronized by a professor or subjected to sexual innuendoes. The womenin the video felt offended, yet were afraid to confront their professors because they didn't want to offend them. The problem of the institutional power deferential is real, Copeland said. Many people "don't wantto put their education at risk." Western graduate Bruce Nordhausen questioned the effectiveness ofWestern's response to formal complaints of sexual harassment. He said his wife Jean filed a formalcomplaint 18 months ago. Throughout the process, Nordhausen's wife suffered breaches ofconfidentiality, threats of retaliation by the professor and was harassed by the professor's wife overthe phone, he said. Nordhausen said the administration continually told his wife, "Sorry, nothing canbe done." Although the university determined that the professor violated sexual harassment policiesand imposed sanctions, the professor continues to sexually harass students, Nordhausen said. "Whyshould students file complaints (if nothing gets accomplished)?" Dahmouh responded, "We have aright to a safe learning environment." Connie Copeland Dahmouh explained the sexual harassment inher case was not isolated to herself, but involved a large network of people. She believes manystudents were silent because they didn't want to get involved. Maurice Bryan, Affirmative Action Officeadministrator, said filing is a tough process. He said the university does not necessarily advisestudents to file formal complaints. Copeland said sanctions, which are dealt with on a case-by-casebasis, range "from 'tsk, tsk' to losing one's job." In the nine years since the university first recognizedsexual harassment as an issue, three formal complaints have been filed. The sanctions for each havebeen "more than a 'tsk, tsk'," she said. Panelists say forum is example of men's apathy By Anne Fouch of The Western Front Speakers at a lecture on men's issues and sex roles in Mathes Hall LoungeMonday were concerned the number of peqple in the lecture audience reflected the attitudes towardsex and gender roles issues. Nobody showed up for the lecture. THE LANDING DiscsÂ«Tapes Newand Used Compact Discs Tapes â€¢ Records 1307 647-1307 11th Street Open 7 days Old Fairhavena week Sanjay Rughani, Men's Resource Center coordinator, said many people assumed the lecturewould deal stricdy with homosexual issues, so they did not attend. Rob Olsen, Sexual AwarenessCenter coordinator, said one of the main problems is men do not want to address or confront sex andgender roles issues. He said the men who come to the center tend to ignore sensitive issues such asgender roles in society and relationships. Women are much more open with their thoughts, he said.Olsen said he is frustrated with the responses he receives from men in the Sexual Awareness Centerconcerning sensitive issues. "What I get back from men is nothing," he said. Olsen said he wants toeducate men and get them talking about what goes on in their minds. This will help prevent the use ofviolence, such as rape, as a release of pent-up feelings. He said men are apathetic because they arenot endangered by rape and physical abuse as much as women. Because of the low number of menattending seminars such as these, Olsen concludes men would l|M|j|liiii|liiil.' Miilliiilllll rather not discussor be educated about these issues. Nathan Church, Counseling Center and Health Services director,said some of the conflicts in marriages result from undefined gender roles. A lack of male participationin raising children causes adversity between the partners, he said. The two partners are not consultingeach other in the child-rearing process. "What I find is that husbands or the male partners in therelationship say, T disagree with how she's raising the kids.'" Bill Heid, psychology and humandevelopment professor at Fairhaven College, agreed with Church. "Men at that age (young fathers) aren't envisioning themselves as actively involved." Heid said. He addressed the question, "What are 18- to20-year old men seeing in their future? If we want to know how to speak to them, we should knowsomething about them." Church said two things put a college population at risk for contracting AIDS:drug use, including new and different ways to prepare cocaine, and sexual activity. The SexualAwareness Center has a table set up in the Viking Union with information pamphlets. Olsen said whensomebody was sitting at the table, few people picked up the information. However, when the table wasunattended, more people took the pamphlets. Western may offer a National Student Life class calledUniversity 101, introducing new students to university life, ilrid ^aid." But he added the administration isdiscouraging this because :rxnal issues would be discussed in tr class. Men are caught up in thetraditional role of "breadwinner," Heid said. Because society's outlook on the roles of men and womenhave changed extensively in recent years, people have had only a short period of time to adjust tochanging roles, he said. The men talked about using gimmicks to increase attendance at educationalseminars.

A face which is already familiar toWestern cross country fans. Neal Sherry qualified for tomorrow's meet in Kenosha as a District 1representative after what he termed " a not-so-great season." Kelvin "Pee Wee" Halsell, crosscountrycoach, said he is pleased with Sherry's performance this season. "If everything goes well atnationals, he could be AU-American," he said. The top 25 finishers in the nationals make All-American. Sherry said he is confident going into the national meet this year, even though he has had towork through some injuries. Sherry has had a history of medical problems. Sherry, a junior, has notalways overcome his injuries within the season. In the last few years, he has been experiencing the after effects of a moped accident that occurred in 1985. At the time, he suffered only minor cuts, scrapes,and head injuries. He was released from the hospital in one hour. During his freshman year atWestern, right before the track team left for the NAIA championships, Sherry experienced a seizure thatcaused him to lose consciousness. The cause of his seizure is still unknown, but doctors speculate itwas a result of the head injuries he received during the moped accident. Sherry has had three attackssince then, proving he is susceptible to seizures at any. time. He is taking medication daily to reducethe possibility of recurrent seizures. Sherry said his freshman and sophomore seasons were "messed up" because the doctors weren't sure what dosage of medication to give him. This year he is stillconcerned with the state of his health. "It makes me wonder how hard I can train...how hard I can pushLOW-COST CONTRACEPTIVES BY MAIL Condoms Spermlcides.10-40% Below Regular RetailSend $4.50 for a prepaid large tube of your choice and/or $5.00 for a variety pack of 12 condoms.

Halsell said even though Sherry experienced medicalproblems last year, he worked through them and didn't give up. He said Sherry's self-motivation isincreasing because the level of competition is high and it takes a serious desire to win. Halsell has seen a difference in Sherry's attitude since last year. He said Sherry is noticing his own potential andlearning what it takes to win. "He's decided he wants to do it (this year)," Halsell said. Other injuriesalso have hindered Sherry's running. Last year at the national cross-country championships in Kenosha,Sherry fell at the very beginning of the race. By the time he got up, he was 320th of 365 runners. "Once I fell, I knew the whole race was over," he said. Sherry does like to run, even though at times it is tough."Once I'm out there I enjoy it," he said. He also said during practices it helps to make mental pictureswhile he is running. "I try to picture myself at the district meet and imagine what it will take for me towin," he said. Sherry first got involved in track because of the influence of friends. Sherry began to seehis own potential in running in the 9th grade. "I found out there is more to running than just messingaround with friends," he said. That year he qualified for the cross country nationals in Cincinnati.Sherry said this was the time he began to think seriously about his running. Scott Beiber, his first cross-country coach, was a big influence on Sherry's running. Beiber introduced Sherry to the cross-countryclub at his school, in addition to the school's team. Sherry set his high school goals at this time. Whenhe first entered Columbia River High School in Vancouver, Wash., Sherry knew there were a lot of goodrunners. He said he was "just hoping" to make the team. Sherry thinks setting his high school goals toohigh caused some insecurity about running in college.

David Mays of Pacific Lutheran University was a big threat to Sherrythis season. Mays beat Sherry at the PLU season meet. He also defeated Sherry by one minute in theDistrict Championships at Willamette, where he placed first. "Hopefully, I'll beat him at nationals,"Sherry said. "It's a whole different race." * After graduating from Western, Sheny would like to run for anamateur athlete organization called Club Northwest. Club Northwest is part of The Athletic Congress ofAmerica (TAC). He would like to compete in TAC Nationals this year at North Carolina. Sherry is aBusiness Administration major at Western.

"'86 SPREE.Flawless. $500." Or: "'HA Aero 80. 3.800 miles, great cond. with helmet $525." The marketing strategyof the scooter. "Buy me. I'm cheap!" seems to work with Western students despite rainy Bellinghamweather. Even on the most dismal days. Western's motorcycle (M) lots contain at least six flavors ofscoot: the smaller models â€” Honda's Spree, Aero (50cc, 80cc) and Passport and Yamaha's CV (80cc)and RAZZ â€” and the big boysâ€” Honda's Aero and Elite (125cc and up) and Yamaha's CV(180cc). The beefier scoots are more popular with students interested in speed. Todd Herd claims his Yamaha 180,which can reach speeds up to 85 mph, is the closest thing to flying. " I t ' s freeway material," he said."It gives me the* power when I need it, and I don't have to worry about* going 15 miles an hour in front of a line of traffic." see SCOOTERS Accent p. 2 Bill Gregersen-Momsh/Accent ---------- Western Front - 1988 November 18 - ACCENT, page 2 ---------- 2ACCENT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 Scooters touted for cheap fun continued from Accent p. 1While his Aero 50 only gets up to about 40 mph, Bill Patterson said he enjoys his scooter because it can (in a pinch) carry two people and is quicker than the smaller models. "I rode my brother's Spree acouple times, and it was so slow," he said. The bigger species usually offer the luxury of storage, aswell, so one can avoid using clunky, stolen milk crates to carry school books. Riders agreed Spreeswere the slowest, albeit the cheapest, but said it's possible to get a "great deal" on any size. "I got mySpree on a close-out deal, for $360 down in Portland, and the license only cost about 10 bucks," KevinEine said, pulling his stocking cap down over his ears. Herd said that he enjoys the scooter's hassle-free maintenance. The 600- and 2000-mile checks cost about $15, he said. "And it only costs a dollar to fillup," Liane Bear noted. Low cash flow was not the only reason riders buy scooters. "Idon'tlikewalking,"Eine said. "When you don't have to walk, you can sleep a lot longer." Many students confessed to being fair-weather scooter afficionados. Patterson is currently using his car but said he'll let hisscooter back out in the spring. "You want to know how it feels riding (a scooter) at eight in the morningin 30-degree weather with wet hair?" asked fair-weather rider Pete LaBarge, who admitted he rides thebus. Some die-hard riders, however, wear fully-lined windbreakers, scarves and knit stocking caps,pulled down over their ears. "I wear an extra layer, but my ears still always freeze," Bear admitted.Pam Hagen, a Buchanan Towers resident, said she gets soaking wet just riding home in the rain from the M-lot behind Miller Hall. "It feels like being hit with little pins, and I can't see out of my glasses," shesaid. â€¢ Eine noted optimistically that parking, however, is a lot better when it rains. Western parkingchecker Clyde Kelly agreed that M-lot crowding is seasonal. During good weather attendants mustpay more attention to the crowded lots, he said. Although front-row parking is an enviable reward, riderssay owning a scooter does have its downside. Eine said his Spree was taken from his apartment parking lot last year. The police found it, but he had to pay an impound fee to get it back, he said. Hagen saidshe worried about security of her Elite 80 when two scooters were stolen from her Buchanan Towers lotlast year. "I went out and bought a 6-foot chain and lock," she said. She said she also makes sure tostore her beloved machine at Western's Physical Plant, which is available for scooter storage forresidents in university housing during school vacations. Some riders worry more after they've left theparking lot, becoming paranoid about other drivers' attitude toward scooters. "Cars always want topass you â€” even if you're going the same speed as they are," said Herd, explaining that other driversbelieve scooters hold them up. A brightly colored scooter (red, of course) seems to help drivers see ascooter better, he said. Although Herd said he wears a helmet, most of the riders on campus don'tbother. Patterson was the only one who admitted to ever wiping out. "Well ... I was riding, it like a Ninjaon the beach," he said. Reggae and beer to groove VU By Molly Krogstadt of Accent Magazine Whatdo beer, dreadlocks, Jamaican natives and reggae music have in common? Find out tomorrow night at the Reggae Dance Party. Headlining the event is a Seattle-based band, the Defenders. The Almighty Dread, a local reggae band, will open the evening's show, and disc jockey Charlie Morgan of KCMUradio in Seattle will spin current reggae releases before and between the bands' performances. A five-piece band originally from Jamaica, the Defenders have resided in Seattle since 1986, makingoccasional trips back to their homeland because of their visa requirements, their families and theirrecording. The band has been involved in the Jamaican recording scene since the 1960s. As the houseband on Coxsonne Dodd's "Studio One"record label, they provided back-up music for Jamaicanrecording artists for many years. The Defenders have a cassette called "Defenders Live." and a single is set for release in about a month.

The next act was Bob Bailey ITJ, a 1978 Western speech graduate whoworked for the cable company for six years in Bellingham before deciding to dedicate his life to comedy."I started out juggling and did workshops in the area schools, teaching kids how to juggle," Bailey said. Bailey made up for his lack of juggling skill with his comedy. During the show, he dropped what hewas juggling five times, which made the front row a little nervous. "Don't worry," he told the audience."I'm fully insured by Lloyd's ofLynden." "Yeah, I was in 'nam, Belling-nam," was one of his jokes. Thethird act was a Seattle comedian who did some raunchy humor, centering on drugs, sex and tequilla."I once went in front of a judge who said; 'Son, you gotta make a choice between drinking Cuervo anddriving.' I threw him my keys and said, 'Hell, if that's my choices, I'm not going to argue."' Comedy nightat Buck's is worth five bucks. Lee McKay gets yuks at Buck's comedy night.

Steel Kiss' intrigues Why is society soaccepting of homophobia? How does society react when a homosexual librarian is beaten to death by a group of teenagers? These are the questions raised in "Steel Kiss," a play to be performed atFairhaven College Auditorium at 7:15 tonight as part of Power and Sex Week. "Steel Kiss," written byCanadian playwright Robin Fulford, is based on the 1985 slaying of Ken Zeller, who was beaten todeath by four drunken teenagers while crossing a Toronto park. "Steel Kiss,"'directed by NikkiAppino, is an Alice B. Theater production, a Seattle-based theater group. The cast consists of fouractors who play 21 roles. The four teenagers who beat Zeller to death are up for parole this month. Theplay attempts to explore the motivation behind the murder and the society that encourages suchactions. Comparing the play to a collage, Joe Adcock of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote that"Steel Kiss" merely scratches the surface of homophobia. Adcock wants to know why incidents like theslaying in Toronto occur, what was the motivation of Zeller's slayers and how might such slayings bepre- â€” vented in the future. According to Adcock, these questions go unanswered. "Steel Kiss"reportedly offers plenty of sex and violence and attempts to tackle one of the pervasive problems thattypifies the human condition, homophobia.

Central Washington, ranked eighth in the NAIA Coachespre-season poll, stands in the way of a back-to-back District 1 title. Western, ranked 16th in the NAIACoaches pre-season poll, lost its main offensive attack weapon when James Johnson graduated lastyear. Central, however, retained four of its starters from last year, including its main attack weapon, 6-6senior forward Carl Aaron. Last year Aaron averaged 21.6 points and 7.8 rebounds per game. He alsoplays excellent ball in post season, scoreing 30 or more points in five of eight games. Central, however,is putting a great deal of emphasis on its new center. Van Beard, 6-9, has played Herb Reich SportsEditor for such NCAA teams as the University of Arizona, Nevada-Reno and Phillips University (Okla).Beard adds a strength to the Wildcats defense they have not had before. While at Reno, he set a single-game school record for blocked shots (eight). Wildcat Coach Dean Nicholson said Beard will giveCentral the rebounding force that it has not had in several years. To counter Aaron and Beard,Western has a new surprise of its own in 6-9 center Ed Briggs. Western Coach Brad Jackson saidBriggs has the capability to compete with any center in the league, including Beard. The road, toughmay it be, is very much a winable one. Central, for all of its pre-season hype, does not have the Western advantage. Western has the rowdiest basketball fans in the world. Fans who are not afraid to let loosefrom beginning to end. Western basketball games give partying a new definition. So cut loose thisweekend and every weekend a home game is at hand and help Western win another title, and do notforget to have a drunken good time yourself. Players shocked continued from p.1 "I thought he did apretty good job," junior tailback Scott Lohr said. "It is a surprise to me. The majority of players got alongwith Hansen. The offensive players liked coach Hansen." "Hansen was a fish," ex-player Pat Garvinsaid. "He had no loyalty to any of his players." Ex-player Carl Grahn said, "As a recruiter he is good, but as a football coach he is inadequate. He did not use his personnel to its full potential." Players alsostand behind the former coach. "As a coach he was always there," â€¢ Susee said. "Toward the players he was a good coach. He could get through to me." Susee said Hansen was also a friend off thefootball field. Paul Hansen "About a year and a half ago my dad had a really severe heart attack, and he (Hansen) came down to the hospital four or five times just to see if we needed anything." Hansenreleased; Goodrich seeks replacement w continued from p.1 "I would think this is a very attractive teamto come into," Goodrich said. "We have a school that people are waiting in line for, and we have anathletic program that is on the I rise." Goodrich will search for the new coach to replace Hansen. "I willconduct the review myself," Goodrich said. "I plan on doing all of the interviews myself." "I have thefinal say on who will be the next football coach," Goodrich said. "The only person I have to answer to isthe president of the university." Western President Kenneth Mortimer said he also would not discussany details of the action. "This is a personnel action and the university does not wish to discussthem," Mortimer said. "Lynda Goodrich had made her decisions, and I don't want to" reverse herdecision," Mortimer said. "I'm in full accord with her action. We are confident that Lynda's commitmentto intercollegiate athletics will bring Western to a higher level." Goodrich plans on finding the new coachas soon as possible. "We want to get the new coach as soon as possible," Goodrich said. "We're goingto move as fast as possible." The 36-year-old Hansen compiled a 17-35-4 record during his six yearsat Western. In Hansen's first four years at Western he posted records of 1-9,3- 6-1,2-6-1 and 2-7.Western was 4-3 - 2 in 1987, the first winning season in 10 years. This year Hansen led the Vikings to a 5-4 record, including five straight games for the first time since 1951. FAIRHAVEN COLLEGE FILMSPRESENTS Last Tango in Paris Friday Nov. 18 7:30 pm Fairhaven College Auditorium A104 PhysicalEducation My first time tutoring was a night to remember. My student was something called BoneCrusher Reed, a.k.a. Billy Jo, defensive tackle for the football team. I had the shock of my life whenhe answered his dorm room door. He was about six foot seven...in _^ diameter. And when he shook my ^ hand, I thought Id never get it back. | So there I was, face-to-knee with 1 the big man on campus,wondering how I was going to relate American Literature to The Hulk. But then he pulled out a can ofOrange Cappuccino. I was shocked! Could it be that this tough jock liked its delicate taste? And whenBone Crusher brought out the bone china, I was beyond belief Reading the expression on my face, hesaid, "What can I say? I like it. The Cafe Francais is pretty good, too." Well, who's going to argue, Ithought. As we sipped our Orange Cappuccino, I discovered that Billy Jo loves reading novels; his onlyproblem was poetry So I gave him tips on reading Emily Dickinson, and he gave me a copy of AnnBeattie's 'Tailing in Place" All I could think was, Dad's never going to believe this! ^^^WWMWrtSP^General FoodsÂ®International Coffees.

Why? We don't know. Or, rather, Athletic Director Lynda Goodrich can't, or won't say.She distributed a press release with vague quotes, including, "We just decided it was time for achange," and "It has more to do with where we want to go." Goodrich said she couldn't say morebecause it would violate privacy rules regarding personnel matters. She said matters discussed in heryearly evaluation of Hansen were private. But most football players, students and faculty wouldn't insiston hearing the gory details. They just want to know why he was let go. After all, Hansen led the Vikingsto winning seasons the past two years. During the past season Hansen led the Vikings to a five-gamewinning streak that hadn't been equalled since 1951. Part of that jump in wins might have been influencedby the Associated Students' effort to dump the football program two years ago. The effort failed, and thefootball team got better. It seems illogical not to renew Hansen's contract now. So what rumors will theWestern community conjure to explain this football jolt? Some may say it was dissent among playersand Hansen. Others may say Goodrich didn't approve of Hansen's coaching. Most probably willspeculate that Hansen just couldn't meet great expectations. All rumors. All unexplained.

' 80s feminism Womenkeep sexism alive Whatever happened to women's liberation? Some women on this campus seem moreenslaved by sexist stereotypes than ever. Today, women should understand their past. Women shouldrealize they are not bound to middleclass morals and housewifery. They should understand womenare people first and females by gender. I grew up believing all these things were true. Yet even today,not all women strongly believe in their abilities. I've witnessed a university news staff where a woman didnot write a single commentary until half way through fall quarter. I've witnessed a campus where mencan describe a woman by saying "she's really endowed." At Western, flocks of bright, young women act stupid and incompetent just to get men interested in them. Women are going backward. Women Iadmire have told me I must wear the right makeup to obtain employment. These backward types saidmy ability to land a job depends more on how I look than on the qualifications I may possess. To top it all off, I've watched Tina Stevens staff writer women, who consistently dare to be seen publicly without makeup, unfairly called "granolas." I have listened to men reason away the danger of pornography by insisting that men are more stimulated by the visual. What's worse, I have listened to women thatbelieve it is okay to portray women as objects in the name of male stimulation. Hugh Hefner, inreference to feminists, once said "these chicks are our natural enemies." A fellow student told me I hadto admit Playboy magazine has become more tasteful in recent years. Three days later, I observed arecent Playboy cover photo. The cover displayed a woman scantily clothed in a pro-football teamjersey. This conveys a silent message to women: because you cannot play, you should display.Whatever happened to the women's liberation that grew out of the '60s and '70s? Many women are notattuned to'the positive feminist viewpoints that grew out of these eras. For example, Gloria Steinem, anactive feminist, said few women under the age of 20 understand that feminism means "the equality and full humanity of women and men." Although many women do not understand the fight for equality,masses of strong, educated women do not believe old norms that encourage women to act weak andmindless to achieve success. The world needs more educated women like these. Women need to stopkissing up to men and must realize being a woman does not mean acting like a paper doll who needs tospend an hour in front of the mirror every morning just to exist in a man's world. This is not a man'sworld. Emotions confuse issue Initiative stifles free speech I n a stirring anointment of civicrighteousness, the People gave pornographers a message: Pack-up and head down the road. A majority of Bellingham voters supported 1-C, an anti-pornography initiative, on Nov. 8. Initiative 1-C won easily:11,516 to 7,196 votes. Too bad it's unconstitutional. Initiative 1-C is an example of a well-intentionedinitiative gone awry. The problem with 1-C, as with other sex-related issues championed for law, is thatmany people support it on emotion alone. We must learn to set aside emotions when dealing with thelaw; they'll trip you up every time. If the initiative becomes law, it will create a precedent for censorship with no end in sight. Allowing people to define, even narrowly, what they deem offensive is a mistake.We cannot stop pornography any more than we can stop someone from preaching a religion we don'twant to hear. Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the First Amendment. I t 's ourchoice to listen or notto listen. Sexism begins in a person's life long before their exposure to pornography. We areconstantly inundated with advertisements that portray men as macho and women as sleek andsexy. These archaic stereotypes are overcome by most of society, or at least dealt withconstructively. Education should rescue the masses from a pornographic hell more effectively than will shackling the public with laws. For example, you may not want to watch Rambo films or read Hunter S. Thompson's novel "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Many believe the novel encourages drug useand Rambo movies encourage violence. Why shouldn't we censor these publications? Because, as the Supreme Court has said, a democracy relies on robust discussion and an open exchange of ideas.Suppression of a societal "reality," until it only exists behind closed doors, will not cure it. Instead, it will continue to lurk as an untreatable cancer. Many supported Initiative 1-C because they said pornography encourages imitation of degrading acts against women. While this may be true and reprehensible,attacking pornography at its source treads on convoluted grounds. Censorship can never be narrowenough. Leave freedom of speech unchastised and punish people for their crimes, sexual andotherwise. In order to change pornography's reach, we should educate the public and regulate the"potentially harmful" promoter through time, place and manner restrictions instead of making themcriminals. ---------- Western Front - 1988 November 18 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18,1988 THE WESTERN FRONT 7 LETTERS Safety escort lacks maturity TheFront, First of all, I would like to state that I fully support the idea of Power and Sex Week and theactivities it involves. Yet I do hope that the "Take Back the Night" campaign will act more mature than ithas in the past. Two years ago, while I was living in Ridgeway Gamma, I made plans with a friend tostudy in Miller Hall. At 9 p.m. we left my room only to discover a chalk-drawn figure outside of my door.While this proved to become a source of amusement for my friends, I strongly resented having thissymbol outside of my dorm. While walking down to campus, we were met by a "patrol" consisting of five to six women and two dogs. Their acknowledgement of us was anything but pleasant and theyimmediately turned around and began following us. When I turned and asked why we were beingfollowed, I only received angry looks in reply. Obviously concerned for our well-being, this merry bandescorted us to the front entrance of Miller Hall. Upon leaving (around 1 a.m.), we picked up another patrol in Red Square. This group followed us as far as to Carver Gym, where a busload of students had justreturned from a WWU/CWU basketball game in Ellensburg. At this point our "bodyguards" abandoned us to go protect other students. While I know that outward appearance is not a good indicator of who may wish to cause harm to others (look at Ted Bundy), I don't believe we gave any indication that wewere a threat to the campus. I believe that night patrols, if done properly, can be of value toWestern's student population. But I hope that their emphasis will be on establishing a presence oncampus, not trailing whom they believe may be a threat to the community. Stephen Dynes Outbackpreserves counter-culture The Front, As a Western alumni and KUGS radio programmer I would like toadd my voice in support of the Outback program. Many reasons support why persons concerned withthe humani- .ties should support this worthwhile program. One reason is the importance of the cabins in the history of the Belling-ham community. The Burns family, who built the cabins, are important ascounter-cultural pioneers who were interested in Native American lore, wild foods, nature, crafts and other aspects of the Northwest. Their books, journals and articles are a highly significant part of our regionallitera- Test Preparation Specialists 1107 NE 45th. Seattle 632-0634 KAPLAN STANLEY H. KAPLAN EDUCATIONAL CENTER LTD.

Theirlegacy of Outback cabins must be preserved in our centennial year. The Northwest has a rich history ofearly day counter-cultural movements s\ich as the Utopian Socialist colonies in this area. The Burns'cabins are a reminder that the experiences of young people during and after the 1960s have roots inearlier state history. The Outback program has been part of Western for 25 years. The earlier example of the Burns' links Outback to a rich local history. Log cabins are an important part of regional folkarchitecture. The Pioneer Park in Ferndale is a good local example of log cabin restoration. Nationssuch as Ireland, Wales and Scandinavia have preserved early home types in outdoor folk museums.Folklore and folkarts programs at many American universities have included restored pioneer buildingsPicture Show SR2S as part of their programs. A restored cabin would be ideal for classes on subjects of history, folklore and folklife, such as presentations on Western American history, women on the frontieror children's stories of the old West. So much literature, from Thoreau to Tolstoy, deals with theintellectual or artist living away from civilization and close to nature. The "back to the earth" Russianfarm of Tolstoy or Walden pond can be appreciated more fully through the Outback experience.Outback has made Thoreau and Tolstoy more alive, more vivid and more significant to me. Outback could greatly enrich the teaching and study of these authors. Gandhi believed in the experience of humblefarm labor as part of his ideals of non-violence and simplicity. Since I believe the humanities are about, in part at least, Gandhi, Tolstoy and Thoreau, I plead for the rejuvenation of Outback. Raymond Mustoe __ _ Ends Soon!

NEWS Enrollment lid smashes students'plans By Derek Dujardin of The Western Front Western's enrollment lid smashed the plans of 1,300would-be Western students Oct. 23. These students, who are faced with cold reality of delaying theireducation for a year, are now looking for options and hope. Two former Western students, Chad Tatumand John Kraves, face this disappointment of putting off their education for another year. "I understandthe reason why," said Tatum, 21, a journalism major. "It's just really frustrating. Going to Whatcom(Community College) won't do me any good â€” I've already finished my general universityrequirements. I guess I'll just have to keep working at Target." Tatum planned to be absent fromWestern for only two quarters when he left Western in the fall of 1987 to earn money. "I take myeducation a lot more seriously now," said Tatum. He said being out of school for a MM WmmSKiltlflflÂ§|ilw| iiiSB WM?**Bjj0! ms8SxSii SSSsÂ«"K^H ^tesws^pj iSSWWSissM SWfeKSSSSS^HtÂ§#sÂ£Â«ltM mmSU ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B l ^^â€¢PlttflilliiM â€¢PHI ^ ^ Â» 5 i S S l l H | ^^B^SiPiPlmlSmismtiismaM ^^B^KKIfiS WÂ®; Ufl IKS lip â€¢sSsSfei ^n 1 mm im ifes?

"You think that maybe you should get a real job and forget school.It's scary to even think that," Tatum said. Kraves, 21, an economics major, left Western in fall 1986 toattend community college to bring up his grade point average. He said he is disappointed because alot of the community college credits he has received will not transfer to Western. "I hear people(complain) about being in school. I would die to be in school right now," Kraves said. "I guess thescariest part is thinking that I will be 26 years old before I'll get out, that I might be 26 years old and bepoor." He said he has applied to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, but appeared unexcitedabout traveling east. "Living among the cows doesn't excite me too much," Kraves said."But I'll do it if I have too. I got to get started on my education." Tatum said he really likes living in Bellingham and heapplied to Western for that reason. "This is the school I want to be at. We've dumped probably $20,000dollars into this place I think they owe us something," he said. Tatum said Western has one morechance to redeem itself before he applies to Central and pacts up for Ellensburg. Diane Doss, 41, aSequim resident, who graduated with honors from Washington State University, has gone around thesystem by enrolling in an independent study course with one of her instructors. "In a way it's good that Ididn't get accepted. I'm looking at more direct ways of getting an education, instead of sitting in a classroom, which isn't always the best way to learn." "But I do feel they were really irresponsible for letting in so many students. They should have saved some space," Doss said. Registrar Gene Omey said extrasections of classes were made available once they realize more freshmen were registered thenexpected. Robin Heinley, 27, a Bellingham resident who planned on getting a master's degree inEnglish, said, "I don't feel so bad for myself not getting in. But I feel sorry for the freshmen whosechoices will really be limitedâ€”and will have to take a lot of garbage before they can get some of theclasses they need." Adam Grendon, 20, a would-be freshmen will be spending his first quarter in college at Whatcom. "It was really disappointing," he said. I was all excited about starting school, and then Igot the letter." 114 E.

President Nixon and40 state governors have joined with environmentalists to declare it an official Earth Week with coast-to-coast efforts to solve local environ mental problems. Robert Sweeney, director of the Great LakesLaboratory in Buffalo, New York, has pointed out the need to direct individuals toward solving these localproblems. LOW-KEYED LOCAL ACTIVITIES Western's observance is low-keyed, partly at the wishes of campus eco-activists like Lynn Cornelius who doesn't want any "carnival-like activities which allowpeople attend one or two events and then go home feeling good about what they have done." Studentswill assist State Highway Department mainten ance crews with cleaning up the freeway from BellinghamVancouver, Wash. to Students will also join local townspeople in a clean-up of Whatcom Creek inpreparation for a fall tree planting. In the future, the city plans to turn the brushy creek banks into a linearpark. EVANS TO VISIT Gov. Dan Evans will address a Huxley College workshop at 2:30 p.m. Fridayin the Music Auditorium. It will be open to the public. The workshop is entitled "Environmental Educationand the Public Schools" and will deal with the role of public education in helping to solve environmentalproblems. NATIONAL ACTIVITIES Similar activities will be the week's order of business coast-to-coast.Rutgers University students will ride bicycles from their New Brunswick, N.J. campus to the statecapitol at Trenton to protest the internal combustion engine. And in Marion County, Indiana, the countycommittee for Zero Population Growth will sponsor a "survival walk" in Indianapolis to demonstrate theneed for mass transportation. See editorial on page 4.

There is a seven day interim per month when she takes the placebo. She has a period of about three to four days duration. If intercourse occurs after the menstrual flow and before pilltaking is resumed, what will the chance of pregnancy be? ANSWER: The chance of pregnancy will bethe same as if she has intercourse during any other time a month when she* is taking the pill. When the pill is taken as directed, ovulation is under the hormonal control of the pill. Even though the pill isstopped so that bleeding can occur, ovulation does not resume. As I have indicated before, the pills aregiven in such a way that bleeding occurs with a frequency that resembles a normal menstrual cycle.Much of this is for psychological reasons. QUESTION: I am a 22 year old male who enjoys thecontemporary long hair styles for men. I have worn my hair shoulder length for over two years now. Myproblem is that in order to keep it decent looking, I have to wash it every day and I seem to be losingmore hair than is normal as a result. I've tried about every type of shampoo, nothing seems to keep itlooking nice for more than one day. Any suggestions? ANSWER: About five per cent of the hair in yourhead is setting there fairly loosely attached. Hair follicles go through periods of growth and rest. Thisexplains why it is possible to pull some loose hairs from your head at any given time. Obviously, thelonger your hair is, the more apparent it will be when some of it comes out. Most people can toleratewashing their hair fairly frequently, but you may be doing it too often and causing it to dry out which onlycauses hairs to break off. I would suggest using Prell, a high quality shampoo that gives you about themost for your money. Try washing your hair every other day or every third day and brushing it carefullyon the between days. Many of the fancy and expensive shampoos and rinses are of no more value thancheaper ones and some are quite harsh. QUESTION: The other night we went to a drive-in movie andsomething strange happened. The manager went over to a car, then ran back to his office. Not longafterwards an ambulance arrived and a couple was carried off on the same stretcher. The manager latertold us that the couple was locked in sexual intercourse. I was wondering if it is possible to get stuck insuch a way, what the physical reason is for it, and how can it be avoided. I don't see how it's possible.ANSWER: Various animals have modifications of the basic sexual apparatus which permit them to haveintercourse under difficult situations without coming apart. The male dog, for instance, is equipped with a penis whose glans (the bulb-like end of the organ) expands greatly in size after insertion into thevagina, thus locking the animals together. Human beings generally do not stand up when they haveintercourse and have b e e n able to propagate successfully without the canine type 0f" sexual device.Misinformation makes one gullible. Most people I've known who have been carried out of cars have beensuffering from an .intoxication, or- drug pyer.d.ose. . Code of Conduct Rapped; Meeting Set for TodayThe Student Conduct Committee will answer questions concerning the proposed college code of conductat 3 p.m. today in Viking Union 354. A total of 26 grievances have been made since the document wasreleased last month, Larry Diamond, AS non-academic coordinator, said last week. A meeting lastmonth revealed that many students were concerned that the document had the appearance of being"repressive," Diamond said. "The most outcry from students was leveled against the demonstrationpolicy. "What is a peaceful demonstration?" Jim Hanson, a junior sociology-anthropology major fromKent asked. He charged that the code of conduct violated the First Amendment guarantee of free speechand freedom of assembly. Hanson said the code of conduct was discriminatory in that it specificallyoutlined what students could be expelled for but made no mention of faculty or staff. "Anything worthapplying to students is worth applying to everyone," he said. AS Legislator John McDonell, a seniorpolitical science major from Gig Harbor said he could accept the proposed code if it was not "so vague."Who decides if a poster is obscene or slanderous?" he asked. Both Hanson and McDonell called for the inclusion of a student bill of rights to guarantee certain freedoms for students. "There is no mention ofthe rights of individuals," Hanson said. Hanson said that the proposed judicial board's actions could bedouble jeopardy, especially in drug cases. "Anything punishable in civil courts should not be handled bythe campus judiciary," he said. Associated Students has asked for an opinion on the constitutionality ofthe code, Diamond said. The meeting today will be open for any interested student to air his complaintsor reservations about the document. "I urge all students to go to this meeting," Diamond said. Narcotics Raid Prompts Permanent Defense Fund A permanent bail and defense fund is being organized bymembers of the South Bellingham community and a number of students in the wake of last week's city-wide drug raid. Following a weekend round of benefit picnics and concerts, spokesmen for the eightBellingham residents and students netted in the Wednesday night raids said they had raised about $700 and indicated they were earmarking part of the money for a permanent fund. They said the money wouldbe used to hire lawyers to defend the eight and added that the remainderâ€”they intend to continuecollecting fundsâ€”would be banked against possible future needs. The benefits were held Friday at Toad Hall, where an auction raised some $200; Saturday in Red Square, where an i m p r o m p t u danceraised an undetermined amount of money, and Sunday at Larrabee State Park, where a box lunch social raised an additional undetermined amount. Persons close to those who were arrested said theyunderstood the raid was the "first of many planned by local authorities." While college officials publicly.remained silent, it was learned they were unofficially confirming what had long been suspected by thestudent body: that narcotics agents and m e m b e r s of the v a r i o us counter-intelligence services are active, and in substantial numbers, in the South Bellingham community and on the campus. Thosewho were arrested were freed on bail Friday after being arraigned on charges of felonious sale andpossession of dangerous drugs. Bail was $2,000 per person in each case, and the eight were free byFriday night. Bail was posted by friends and relatives. S e v e r a l p e r s o n s in thecommunityâ€”none wanted to be quoted by nameâ€”said they thought the arrests had brought thecommunity closer together and closer to the young people on the campus. "If the establishment wantedto make us suspicious of one another by planting agents in our midst," one said, "they fucked up. Allthis did was get us working and talking together. We're more united than we've been in a long time . . .and we're just getting started." Dean Selection Committee Solicits Campus Nominations The newcommittee appointed to find a person to replace Dean of Western Fred Knapman is solicitingnominations from the campus community, Alta Hansen, associate professor of women's physicaleducation, said Friday. Dr. Hansen, chairman of the new Dean Selection Committee, said that due to the failure of the previous committee to find a candidate from outside the Western community, the newcommittee was looking "internally." Nominations of Western faculty may come from any aspect of thecommunity, and should be sent to Dr. Hansen before Friday. Other faculty members of the committeeare Roland DeLorme, associate professor of history; Neil Gray, associate professor of mathematics, and Robert McCracken, professor of education. Xhe two student members are Larry Phalan, a senior historymajor from Bellingham, and Jim Stevens, a sophomore accounting major from Tukwila. The originalcommittee was dissolved by President Charles J. Flora after it reported it had been unsuccessful in fillingthe position from outside Western. Knapman assumed the position last summer when it was createdwith the impression that it would be a temporary position until a full-time dean could be appointed. Heannounced earlier this year that he hoped to be replaced by the end of this quarter and return to hisfaculty position as professor of chemistry. Teacher Corps Representative Seeking Graduates ForSummer The five-year-old Teachers Corps has recently estabiisned a joint program with the Peace Corps to train and provide certified teachers for a combined U.S.â€”overseas program to begin this summer.Teacher Corps, an organization similar to Peace Corps or VISTA, sends teachers on group experimentsto universities and public and private grade and secondary schools in the United States and Puerto Rico.The teachers spend their tours helping out in education reorganization programs. In the joint TeacherCorps-Peace Corps program approximately 120 to 140 graduate-level interns will be recruited to serveone year in Teacher Corps in the United States followed by two years as Peace Corps volunteers with full professional teaching credentials. After the three-year tour, the interns would return to the United States to continue their teaching careers in the ghettos, barrios, reservations and low-income areas whereTeacher Corps projects are centered. The "program is seeking math, science and English graduates ofwhich 30 to 50 per cent must be minorities. Pre-service starting date is June 15, so anyone interested injoining the program or receiving further information about it may contact, the Teacher Corps representative on campus, in Miller Hall 403. , ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 20 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, April 20, 1971 Western Front National Peace Action Week Underway Marches in SeattleSaturday marked the beginning of National Peace Action Week which will end next Saturday with massmarches in Washington, B.C., and San Francisco. The planned rally in the nation's capital is billed asthe "largest single political gathering in American history." Rally sponsors hope to draw more than the250,000 that came to Washington, D.C., Nov. 15, 1969, for the largest anti-war demonstration to date.The National Peace Action Coalition, sponsors of the nationwide activities, have received endorsementsnumbering more 1.25 million people for mass marches, including two major labor unions, women'sgroups, war vets and enlisted GIs. Man-in-the-Street T h e W a s h i n g t o n , B.C., demonstration willbegin with an assembly at the Ellipse, followed by a march along Pennsylvania Avenue and a three-hourrally at the Capitol. The main focus of the event, according to rally planners, will be on President Nixon,as commander-in-chief, to end the war. They added that if Congress would cut off funds there would beno United States involvement in SoutheastAsia. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, as president of theSenate, gave permission Thursday for the rally to be held on the west front of the Capitol. Peace ActionWeek will also signal the beginning of peace initiative campaigns in major cities throughout the countrywhich, if validated, will allow citizens to vote on the war next November. Local groups working with thenational coalition, the Student Mobilization Committee and Bellingham People's Coalition, have plannedlocal marches and activities of their own to support the peace movement. Movies, panels, and speakersduring the week will emphasize the effect the war has on all the people of the world, with specialemphasis on the Third World, GIs and vets, women and high schoolers. Events for Peace Action Weekand future dates are: Today-"GIs and Viet Vets," 1-3 p.m., Viking Union lounge. Tomorrowâ€”"Womenand the War," 10:30 a.m.-noon, Viking Union lounge.

Lewis near Tacoma in protest of the war. Curriculum Report Puzzles Many Students SUEGAWRYS Front Reporter Misconceptions and/or ignorance abound concerning the CurriculumCommission Report. "Is that the one where they're firing all the professors?" one student said, lookingworried. Most knew it had something to do with no grades or no finals, but weren't sure about theinterdepartmental major change. One person said, "I don't know much about it, but I don't think thechange will do any good." Western students interviewed expressed satisfaction with the idea of generaleducation reform here, but specific points, such as pass-no-pass and interdepartmental majors weremost "controversial." "I think the ideas are really good to begin with. But it can't go through all at once.The faculty will o b j e c t to t h e b r e a k d o w n of departments-professional pride and jealousy," Anne Snelgrove, a sophomore undecided major from Pullman said. Pete Murphy, a sophomore English majorfrom Bellingham, said that the pass-no-pass will be a good idea â€”"the college wouldn't be ascompetitive." He also said he thought the major was a good idea and was hesitant about theinterdepartmental majors. "The major as it is now is a good idea. You get a broad spectrum which isnarrowed down," he said. But he found a wide range of knowledge also a good thing. Janie Dillon, asophomore art major from Seattle, said, "I think it should definitely pass. The way schools are set upnow, there is very little academic freedom. The students want this change. It has the students in mind."She thought the inderdepartmental disciplines were a good idea, if enough knowledge could be put into it, so as not to make them a "general" general educational course format. "If you go four months at a time,there's too long in between," said Dave Byrd, a sophomore geology major from Seattle. He said, "Pass-no-pass should be optional to the students if they want it. What if they want to transfer to anotherschool?" Merrie O'Meara, a senior soc/anth major from Bellingham, said, "On the whole, it's pretty good. But I don't think the pass-no-pass will work, for transferring grades, for getting jobs. In a way, no gradesare a good idea. I've been psyched into doing a good job. Not so much stress should be put on grades."I really don't know what it's all about. But I'd be against changing the college too much," Dean Corbett, a junior industrial design major from Seattle said. He felt there were advantages for and against gradesMURPHY BYRD Curriculum Report May 1 is the deadline for college community response to theCurriculum Commission Report. The Curriculum Commission was established by the Long RangePlanning Committee to "recommend better and less costly ways of carrying forward the instructionalprograms of the college." The Commission's controversial report calls for a number of sweeping changes,among them replacement of the quarter system by semesters and abolishment of departments in favor ofarea concentrations based on the "Concerns of Man." DILLON CORBETT A Man Named Kinte ALEXHALEY It was a little after three Friday afternoon when Alex Haley walked up to the microphone in theViking Union lounge and started to tell a story, and by 4:30 he came to the end. But during that hour anda half, his story had weaved through centuries like a Persian rug, jumping from the 1700's to the present,tying together the story's gap without effort. It was a story within a story, the kind of story that people will say, "You had to be there to hear it, I can't tell it." It was a story about a man, about a race and a sagaof a people. And it was about how Alex Haley uncovered the facts for his new book, Before This Anger. It began when Haley was a littly boy, sitting on the front porch of his parent's home in Tennessee, listening to his relatives talk about a man named "Kinte," a slave who was brought to Maryland in the 1760's. The man named Kinte talked in an African dialect, calling trees by different names and he would point to theriver and say, "Kamby; Bolongo." Kinte would tell about when he was captured while chopping wood near his village and dragged aboard a ship. The slave escaped three times, Haley said, and when heescaped the fourth time, the plantation owner cut off his foot as punishment. Kinte stayed at theplantation and married a woman named Belle, The Big House Cook and they had a daughter namedKizzy. When Kizzy grew up, she told her children about her father named Kinte, who called the riverKamby Bolongo. And as her children grew up they also told about the man named Kinte. And so thestory was passed, from generation to generation until it was told on the front porch of a house inTennessee. And so the story might have ended, only to be passed between a small group of people,except that Alex Haley grew up to have an enormous thirst to find out about the man named Kinte whocalled the river Kamby Bolongo. The book Before This Anger will be published this September and willtell about the man named Kinte, a -man â€¢ who- was captured- while- chopping - wood near his village. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 20 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, April 20, 1971 We're Number Oneâ€” We Tried Harder The Western Frontwas named the top four-year college newspaper in Washington State at Sigma Delta Chi's 27th annualawards for professional journalism in Seattle Saturday night. Representatives of the national journalisticsociety judged the Front first place among both state university dailies, the two state college weeklies,the other competing four-year college newspapers in the state. The Front placed second last year. Thelast time the campus newspaper here placed first in the state was in 1962. Front Editor John Stolpecongratulated his staff, adding "we were second place last year and look what happens when you tryharder." Second place this year went to Central Washington's Campus Crier, and third was awarded toEastern Washington's Easterner. The University of Washington Daily, first in the state last year, did notplace. The Bellingham Herald won third place in the editorial category with the Seattle Times first and the Vancouver Columbian second. Ron DeHart of KBFW radio in Bellingham won second for special reporting in radio*news. The awards were based on more than 1,000 entries from daily and weekly newspapers,television and radio stations, and student publications. Front Editorials... "To comfort the afflicted and toafflict the comforted" Earth Week One year ago we urged our readers to participate in the nationwideEarth Day activities, warning them that "Earth Day must last forever" if this planet is to survive. Thanksto publishers and politicians searching for a non-Vietnam issue, entrepreneurs looking for a fast buck,and a growing number of environmentally aware citizens, the nation's attitude toward its environment has abruptly changed. The year that passed was a progressive one for local and national eco-activists.Huxley College of Environmental Studies opened its doors on an entire new era of environmentaleducation and Fairhaven students nursed Initiative 256 (ban the non-returnable bottle) on the ballot with a record number of signatures, even though the state's voters were swayed by a questionable highpressure, big business campaign against it. Student letters and postcards helped stall an Army Corps of Engineers permit granting the Atlantic-Richfield Company an okay to dump effluent wastes into PugetSound off their new Cherry Point refinery. And many state beer and pop distributors are buying back their cans and bottles in what seems to be a serious effort to help clean up our litter-strewn roadways. In one magic year we have managed to change people's minds. The environment controversy is not simply afad which will die out in a few months or years. People are becoming acutely aware that to ignore ourenvironmental dilemma is to ignore life itself. The future battles have yet to come, though. The American SST is dead, but foreign SST sonic booms will probably shake our countrysides within the decade. TheSST defeat was more of a victory for those seeking to re-shuffle our national priorities rather than avictory for the environmentalists. And the oil situation is far from settled for Puget Sounders. We arebeing warned from experts that one super tanker oil spill in the sound will spell total disaster for ourregion. So again, we urge our readers to do something personal about our environment this week andevery week. Write a letter, plant a tree, give up your car on short trips, and recycle your bottles and cans. Together we can do it. -John Stolpe EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron GrahamASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Marie Haugen SPOflTS EDITOR: LarryLemon STAFF REPORTERS: GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen,Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

Letters may be hand delivered or mailed to the Front editorial office'in the basement of the old Viking Union.Concerning the Curriculum Report Editor: Contrary to the opinions of many students who have read theCurriculum Commission Report, I contend the report is not well argued, is not well thought out, and isnot, by virtue of merit, worthy of close reading in its entirety. It should, however, because of its possibleimpact, be read by all who care about the college. The report is so pompous, pretentious and dogmaticthat it's actually funny and interesting reading. The report has several corny f i g u r e s of speech andsimple-minded analogies. Two examples: (1) "In short, we are being asked to assure a future forgenerations still in the womb of time"; (2) "The proper source of energy, the necessary fuel, for thedevelopment of brain power is 'knowledge'." But the most striking aspect of the report is its philosophy.One of its guiding principles: "The development of 'free and first class minds, attached to a compellingsocial consciousness,' is the primary mission of the college." Would you want your mind "attached"?Mind attachment, by any name, is indoctrination, and attached minds are not free mind. The report, soconcerned with "social consciousness" and "brain power," never mentions curiosity, although curiosity is the strongest drive behind great thinking. The Commission further recommends that one of the"missions" of Western be: "The development of cadres of young men and women equipped by e d u c a t i o n , training and commitment to confront problems and find solutions." How many of us wish to bechanneled into a "cadre?" Many may wish to join the Peace Corps, Vista, Nader's Raiders, etc., butsurely the purpose of college is not to program people for such assignments. A question which shouldbe of vital concern to students: Why have " A r e a s of Concentration?" The areas are such arbitraryhodgepodges that I can see no basis for requiring them, certainly not on the basis of the Commission'stheme, "Concerns of Man." Whether the Commission realizes it or not, all fields of knowledge areconcerns of men. The Commission may feel that it knows what is of most concern to man, but you may have a very different idea of what is of most concern to you. Why be. forced to concentrate in one of thesocial problems c a m p s ? Why not truly revolutionize the system and let those students who want totailor their own curriculum? Finally, what about the proposed "curriculum free of d u p l i c a t i o n , e s o t e r ic non-essentials, and spurious specialized contributions?" What will be the fate of esoteric e s se n t i a l s and important specialized contributions? Students will be paying more for a system withfewer courses to choose from and fewer depth courses. Senior year may turn out to be like looking inthe movie guide only to find that all of the theatres are playing Mickey Mouse. With increasingautomation and use of computers, many middle executive and teaching positions will be eliminated inthe seventies. A college which bars its students from learning the "esoteric" essentials of importantfields will find its graduates faring poorly in the increasingly stiff competition for jobs. Robert QuigleyAssistant professor of physics Editor: In my discussion with s t u d e n t s concerning the C u r r i c u lum Commission's report, I have found one recurrent objection. It is that the semester system wouldallow much less time for students to work during the summer. This argument however is incorrect. Thepresent system allows 15 weeks for work during the summer. The proposed 4-1-4 system, becausevacation starts in mid-May, would allow 13 weeks. Admittedly then there would be a slight loss of worktime were we to go to semesters. An alternate proposal to the 4-1-4 system however is the 4-4-1. Underthis proposal, the voluntary intercession would come after the spring semester. Those who chose towork during that time would be able to start work in the beginning of May and work for 17 weeks ratherthan 15. Don't be snowed by the "rumor folks, semesters aren't as bad as you think. David P. StoebelSenior Psychology Editor: The Curriculum Commission Report promises to break down theadministrative barriers that stand between departments. The proposal is an anti-toxin, designed to fight a growth of academia which is out of controlâ€”silence. A p p a r e n t l y the 27 departments on thiscampus don't communicate with one another. In cases where there should be inter-departmentalcommunication, there is none. The people in Cross-Cultural Research (psychologists) for e x a m p l e ,and those in anthropology would benefit from a close relationship, but they don't communicate. Thedivision of courses into areas of concentration instad of the present departments would get these peopleworking together. Stephen Callihan Freshman Editor: I have experienced mixed feelings about the new proposed curriculum, but now I am definitely for it. Too many people are scared of any change oncampus, but this is not a real change, it is a reform which is badly needed. It is not like throwing alleducation out the window, rather taking only the best parts and presenting them in a scope which willinvolve the student in his education. After all, didn't we come here for t h a t , an education? This reformis education in the making. Let's all get in on the benefits, and support it. Steve Morrison FreshmanEducation Approves Daugert Proposal Editor: Writing about the Daugert proposal for college governance in the April 9 Western Front, Provost Frederick Sargent found reason to oppose the plan now before usbecause the "authority proposed for the Academic C o o r d i n a t i n g Commission negates the relative autonomy g r a n t e d the three new u n d e r g r a d u a t e divisions â€” Fairhaven, Huxley and theCollege of Ethnic Studies-by their charter statements which have been approved by the Board ofTrustees." In the undated report of his C u r r i c u l u m Commission (released by the President onMarch 25) the Provost equates the three cluster colleges with six other concentrations (all nine have acommon general e d u c a t i o n program) and advocates the "superordinate to these directors (directors of concentrations) a committee of the college would need to be formed to review new programs andproposals and to prevent the renewed proliferation of courses." That is, of course, exactly what theAcademic Coordinating Commission gt;; jpropqsed, ,by., the -,. Daugert Committee would do incoordinating programs of the still relatively autonomous colleges of Western. The main thrust of theDaugert Proposal is to involve faculty and students in the decision-making process at this college. It isthe intent of Section 1.1, to which Dr. Sargent takes exception, to take college governance out of OldMain 142 and put it on public display. It would be something like the "periodic 'town meetings' . . . atwhich issues are formulated, debated and resolved" advocated by the Curriculum Commission-but theSenate would meet regularly and would be a representative body. I join Dr. Sargent and Steve Cooper in acknowledging that the Senate proposal is not exactly what I might have wanted, but, since it willinvolve faculty and students in the governance of this college in a more direct way than we now are, Iconsider it a vast improvement over the present s y s t em and support it enthusiastically. A. CarterBroad Chairman ; Biplqgy Compliments Front Editor: Last Tuesday's issue of the Front was a goodpaper. It reported (as far as I know) the events of consequence on the campus and did so with anunusual depth and insight. Of particularly good quality was your reporting of the curricular reform. I hopethat you will continue to improve and now especially since student approval and pressure is of utmostimportance to the success of these reforms. Hopefully, the Front can be a prime mover and organizer for that purpose. Stan Cuykendall Freshman P.S. Watch it though. You should indentify the tenured andrespected faculty member quoted in your editorial about curricular reform. Editor's Note: The importantfact is that the questions were raised in the first place. The faculty member who supplied the questionsspecifically asked not to be identifiedâ€”which certainly did not affect the validity of the questions.Thanks, and keep reading. Agrees with Knudtzon Editor: As a matter of record, may I say that I agreetotally with Kermit Knudtzon's letter to the F r o n t (April 12, 1971) concerning the Bookstore Board.Our resignations were based on the fact that Board decisions were abrogated without adherence tonormal principles of decorum. The salary increases for Bookstore personnel were v e t o e d before aformal statement regarding the raises was made by the Board. A meeting to draft such a statement was to Have been held after the executive session; as far as I know, the statement has still to be drafted, oreven to appear in the form of minutes of the executive meeting. The President invoked the Ad HocCommittee Report of 1966 ( a document previously unknown to most if not all the members of the Board) to veto the decision made in the executive session. This same document also revealed that I had beenimproperly appointed to the Board. It specified that only tenured faculty would be allowed to serve; I wasnot tenured when my appointment was made and I am not tenured now. Christopher's statement in theFront that the faculty and administrative resignations "bordered on the childish" is irresponsible and, ofcourse, irrational in light of the above facts. I still wonder how Mr. Christopher can maintain that he isnot in conflict of interest as a voting student member of the Board and as an employee of the Bookstore. Reed Merrill Assistant Professor of English Bookstore Markup Editor: In the April 13 edition of theFront, Dr. Howard E. Mitchell, chairman of the Bookstore Board, writes that the price of textbooks"includes a 20 per cent markup (on retail price) to cover operating costs and shipping charges.... To mymemory the bookstore has never used a different markup in the past 12 years." Dr. Mitchell's memoryfails him. Five years ago, the bookstore sold all books at a 20 per cent discount. It should also be keptin mind that the 20 per cent markup applies only to textbooks. Trade books are marked up 40 per centand many of the books used for classes are actually trade books.

Evans May Veto JIM AUSTINCopy Editor When the Senate knife-wielders got through with the state budget for the coming biennium,Western found itself with nearly $1.5 million less than the governor had recommended. Ernest Sams,acting business manager, said Friday that the Senate version had reduced the budget from Gov. DanEvans' proposed $24,590,000 to $23,125,000. The Senate passed the budget last Wednesday afterrejecting one, amending another and accepting several other amendments introduced by Sen. Fred Dore(D-Seattle). The Ways and Means Committee dropped Dore's amendment calling for a freeze on salaryincreases effective Jan. 1, 1971,^ and restored $161,000 of the $323,000 Dore had removed from theappropriation for Wilson Library. At the same time, the Senate retained the House-passed 2.5 per centreduction in faculty formula, costing Western $590,000. Other Senate amendments to the budgetincluded: â€”A reduction of fee waivers from 6 per cent to 3 per cent of all tuition and fees. The governorhad recommended the 6 per cent figure but the Senate settled for the lower figure and removed anadditional $236,000 from the budget, Sams said. The $236,000 will be offset by the local revenue gainedthrough the lower fee waiver, however, he added. - A reduction of from 2 per cent to 10 per cent of thesalary of all state officials earning more than $15,000 per year. â€”A prohibition on salary increases formerit or longevity currently in the Civil Service Act. The budget was sliced $398,000 for the salaryreduction and another $70,000 for the prohibition and merit increases, Sams said. An additional $380,000 was sliced from the budget following the State Supreme Court's ruling that payments into theWashington Personnel Employees' Retirement System must be made at the time salaries are paid.BASED ON TUITION HIKE Although the bill to increase tuition is still in the House Rules Committee, thebudget was based on the Board of Trustees charging $149 per quarter for tuition and fees next fall, Samssaid. Substitute House Bill 740 calls for full-time resident students to pay $149 per quarter for 1971-72and $165 per quarter for 1972-73. If the bill is passed non-resident students will be hit even harder. Non-resident students entering Western for the first time will be charged $453 per quarter next year whilereturning non-resident students will have two years in which to reach the $453 quarterly rate, Sams said. Sams said the tuition bill is not expected to come to a House vote until after the budget is disposed of,and some of the tax bills are expected to be voted on first. VETO POSSIBLE A strong possibility existsthat Evans will veto at least two of the provisions contained in the budget if the House accepts the Senate version, Sams said. The provisions calling for the reduction in salary and the prohibition on merit andlongevity increases are prime targets, he said. Evans announced earlier this month that he would veto abudget freezing salaries or containing a salary reduction. Sams indicated that the House can do one oftwo things: either accept the Senate version and face the possibility of a gubernatorial veto, or reject theSenate version and send the document to a six-member free conference committee. In the latter event,there is no telling how long it would be before the budget is finalized. If the governor receives it as is andvetoes all or part of it, the process will have to start all over and could take even longer, Sams said. ASPresident Defends Curriculum Proposal AS President Steve Cooper said Wednesday that he endorsesthe Curriculum Commission Report "almost without exception." "Students have been screaming for thiskind of education for a long time," he said. Cooper said that he particularly favors the intersession part of the proposal. "The student has the opportunity to work with faculty in organizing an individual project," he said. "This is putting education squarely on the shoulders of the individual, where it should be." Coopersaid that he is "amazed at the faculty reaction to the report." "I can't understand why faculty can't teachinterdisciplinary courses," he said. "This shows their shortsightedness. They're so worried about theirown department that they can't get their heads out of the mud and see what's happening." He said helikes the way the new curriculum would relate to the concerns of man. Moving from specialization togeneralization will allow better preparation for entering society, Cooper said. "The commission has come up with a new and creative approach to education. I don't want to see it go the long and tortuous route ofthe Daugert Proposal," Cooper said. He said that President Charles J. Flora "is moving with thisproposal and he's not waiting for anyone." "I think he sees it as a chance to change the monolithicstructure of Western and make it more relevant to students. STEVE COOPER "We've got to haveprograms that are concerned with man and his survival," Cooper said, adding that he doesn't think thepresent system can do that. "If it can, it hasn't done it." Cooper urged that all students pick up a copyof the curriculum report and study it. Copies can be obtained either at Flora's office in Old Main 115 or atCooper's office in the Viking Union. Curriculum Queried at Elementary Ed Meeting The necessity of thesemester system to implement curriculum changes was among questions raised on the curriculumproposal by Western's elementary education division at a meeting Tuesday. The members agreed thatthe curriculum proposal itself was sound. The loss of flexibility was raised as a possibility if a change tosemesters was made. Don Jacobs, education lecturer, referred to a report from the National Commissionfor the Accreditation for Teacher Education (NCAT), that change and flexibility are easier in the smallerunit of the quarter. Jacobs mentioned on his observation of 20 graduate level schools, the mostsuccessful programs were on quarters and that experimental programs were given more chance tochange in mid-stream. lt;, r *,-,,â€¢,â€¢, v gt;â€¢.- gt; * â€¢ t * â€¢?â€¢â€¢- * gt;â€¢ **â€¢*â€¢ â€¢* vâ€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ 'â€¢'-' One of the assets of a semester system is the interim system that allowsstudents to do independent study. Jacobs questioned why a college needs to shut down to do this typeof thing, why couldn't it be put injo the quarter. Jacobs said that he had heard from William McCulloch, a rep. from Ohio, during the Scranton Report on campus violence, that where violence was directedagainst the campus administration it was overwhelmingly on semester system campuses. The groupagreed that limiting the curriculum to the point where Western would be a good specialist school likeother state Universities and colleges, could cut costs. Another question was raised about the cost intime and money to the committee that would be needed to revise the curriculum.

Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Technology Developing LowExhaust Automobile STEVE JOHNSTON Front Reporter Western's Technology Department is poolingtogether its student and faculty talents to create a practical, low exhaust emission car to enter in thenationwide Urban Car Competition next year. Although the MIT-sponsored competition will not be helduntil August 1972 in Boston, the car can be seen-either in its physical or design stages-throughout theTechnology Department or the design section of Miller Hall. Bob Merriam, a graduate technology majorfrom Burnaby, B.C., has started drafting up some basic ideas for the car's body. Presently he has a fewideas pinned up on a wall, like a square-bodied affair with doors which open like wings on a bird. Oneunusual aspect is when the doors are shut, the driver and passenger will automatically be enclosed in aself adjusting safety belt. But there are other designs, like a three wheel car that looks more like amotorcycle and can turn on the proverbial dime. For an engine, Michael Seal, assistant professor oftechnology, hopes to use a Wankel which is now being mass produced for an imported car. - TheWankel engine is not a new idea. It was developed in the I950's, but just lately has caught interest in theautomotive field as a possible answer to the car pollution problem. The engine doesn't have pistons,rather it has a rotor-type drive which looks like a triangle. Instead of the up and down motion like in apiston engine, a Wankel spins in an oblong arch. The advantage of this engine is that it runs cooler thanthe regular engine and has fewer parts to wear out, so less upkeep, Seal said. Seal said a cooler running engine creates less hydro carbons, the major part of air pollution from cars and coupled with an exhaustreactor, the Wankel could run almost exhaust emission free. "A Wankel engine operates from 2 to 5 percent less efficient than a four cylinder engine," he said. "But all the present pollution gadgets on today'scars require more power and gas." The biggest problem facing the Technology Department is a lack ofmoney. Seal figures it will cost around $10,000 to design and build the car. "We're looking for funds now," he said. "If we are able to get the money then we'll build the body out of stress plywood, like aircraftspruce, or fiber glass." So far a new Toyota has been donated by a local company and Seal said they will use parts from the car to make their entry. Seal stressed the contest in Boston was not going to be arace, like the one that was run last year from coast to coast, but a test between the various colleges tobuild a better running car. Some of the paces the cars will be put through include turning trials, ease otgetting in and out, a parking race, style and, of course, how clean the engine runs. Avoid Standing InLine- Get Parking Permit By June Parking permit holders will have to fill out lot applications for next year before leaving school this quarter. The Parking Committee decided to have people send in applicationsto the Security Department before June 12. "In this way we are trying to do away with standing in line,"Joan Straughan, Parking Committee chairman said. "People will have to think of next year's parking,"she said. Security would then mail lot assignments to people during the summer. A space would bereserved for those who have the parking permit money in by August 31. Anyone who did not get themoney in, would get a permit on a first-come, first-serve basis next fall quarter. ,.,,.,Tfie,Gommitteje.has.pot.deqided uj qn the.priqes to be charged for each lot yet. The committee is alsoconsidering giving fines to parking violators. If a person did not pay the first two fines, the third violationwould constitute an impound. Those who paid the fines after every violation could get parking tickets allyear long without having their car impounded. To protect permanent ticket holders, those who parkillegally in a full lot could have their car impounded even on the first violation if a regular permit holdercould not park in that lot because of the violator. The Board of Trustees will have to approve both the finesystem and pre-registering for parking permits for next year.

After entering town, though, it might seem to thenewcomer as though the census takers forgot to count the multitude of students thronging the streets.Although the multitude amounts to only about 10,000, the casual visitor to Bellingham is partially correctin concluding that they have been forgotten. Of the 12 aldermen on the Bellingham city council, none ofthem is representative of the student population in the town. Despite the $21 million Western brings hereyearly, the college doesn't exist as far as the city council is concerned. Boyd Collings, a junior visualcommunications education major from Bellingham, thinks it's about time someone came down from themountain to tell the city fathers the wants and needs of the college community. "This college does a lotfor the city, but there's no one down there to do anything for students," Collings says. He plans to file for the 5 th precinct councilman's slot in the 1971 municipal election. The 5th precinct, which includesSehome Hill, a large area north of Holly Street, and east of Commercial Street plus the Southside area,houses a big proportion of the student body. This campaign for city council will not be the 24-year-oldNavy veteran's first attempt at civic involvement. He once applied to become a Whatcom County sheriff'sdeputy, but was turned down because his father was on the force and the sheriff thought the relationshipwould be too close. He also tried to get on the Blaine Police Department, but ran into objections to hisappearance from the city council. "When I went in for my personal interview, they didn't ask me anythingabout my qualifications. They just kept asking my why my hair was so long and why I wore a beard," hesaid. When the Blaine officials asked Collings why he was applying to the police department and why he should be chosen above his two neatly groomed competitors, he told them: "Well, I want to be a lawofficer, but I think these other two are just looking for a job." On that note he was dismissed from theinterview. BOYD COLLINGS Undaunted by the Blaine power structure, Collings tried for the Bellinghampolice department. "They wouldn't even give me an application to fill out until I shaved and cut my hair,so I decided that if they were going to be that way, we wouldn't have gotten along very well, anyway," hesaid. "I finally decided that the only way to get around those people would be to get on the city council."He then smiled. "There are a couple of things around here that irritate me that I would like to see takencare of," he said. "One is the two-hour parking limit on the streets around the college. If it's warranted up here, I'm sure there must be a few places downtown that need it, too." Then there is the matter of theBellingham police wearing American flags on their shoulders. "If they can bust students for wearing flags, I don't see why the police should be allowed to wear them," he said. Being recently married, Collingsand his wife, Pat, want to settle down a little and plan to stay around Bellingham for at least the next fewyears. Collings says that if he gets the council post he will cut his study load down to 10 or 12 hours and devote most of his attention to the city post. "I plan to go to graduate school here at Western, so we'llbe around for some time." 'Walk for the Hungry' Planned for May 8-9 A Bellingham Walk for the Hungryis planned for May 8 and 9 in conjunction with the International Walk for Development weekend. Thepurpose of the walks is to educate the American public towards hunger, over-population andenvironmental abuse, and then to raise money to cope with these problems, according to Laurie Eyer, alocal organizer. Walks for development, which will take place in 340 American cities and in 45 foreigncountries this year, are the main source of American involvement in the United Nations Freedom FromHunger Campaign and the American Freedom Fron Hunger Foundation (AFFHF). Walks for developmentstarted in Europe as a youth response of the fear of world-wide hunger. Before the walks, participantscontact possible sponsors who promise to pay a certain amount for each mile the participant walks.Walkers will walk along a route around Bellingham, stopping at check points along the way to certify their mileage. After the walk, walkers collect their money from their sponsors and turn it over to the chairman of the walk. Almost half-42.5 per cent-of the money collected goes to the local Whatcom Countydevelopment, and an equal amount goes for foreign development. The remaining 15 per cent is used toeducate more people to the need for involvement. The Nooksack Indians and the Bellingham Day CareCenter have been selected as the local projects. Plans are to provide heating for the Nooksack TribalCenter which will benefit the tutoring program. Money will also be used to provide transportation forchildren attending the Day Care Center, and for scholarships for low-income children, or children withspecial needs. A revolving loan plan to help Guatemalan farmers buy the land they work on has beenchosen as the foreign project. May 3 to 8 has been set aside as Development Week on campus.Speakers, films and slide presentations to explain the walk are planned. Meetings are held at 7:30 p.m.every Thursday in the Campus Christian Ministry. Federal Loans Help Students With today's rising costs of getting a college education, more and more students are seeking financial assistance above whatthey and their parents can come up with in the way of money. Students from middle-income families find themselves in more of a bind getting help because their parents' income makes them ineligible for federal programs such as National Defense Student loans and educational opportunity grants which are aimedat low-income students. Chances are that the best alternative for a student from a middle-income family,is to apply for a federally insured student-loan.. â€¢' -â€¢ â€¢â€¢' â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ While students areadvised to apply at hometown banks first, loans can also be obtained through other banks, savings andloan institutions or credit unions. The federally insured student loan program began in 1967 and sincethen has aided 48,000 students in Washington state alone. During the fiscal year 1969-70 900 Westernstudents were provided with almost $665,000 in educational loans. Seventy-five per cent of all the loansmade last year to Western students came from Bellingham National Bank averaging more than $900 per student'.

Flora told the small gathering of college officials and students that he was very happy and hopeful about the by-pass. "The present use of High Street is appalling to the safety of our students and faculty," Flora said. The college is waiting for funds to be allocated so work can begin on widening Garden Street so High Street can be closed. A pedestrian mall is planned for High Street, open only to emergencyvehicles. The $360,000 project was delayed because of poor weather conditions and the removal of a wall that blocked motorists' vision. Master of Ceremonies and project engineer Victor O. Gray presentedWilliams and Flora with folders of the project's legal documents. After Williams and Flora snipped thedocument-studded ribbon, they were joined by Gray and Gary Evans, AS vice-president, in the symbolicfirst drive up the by-pass. Dorm Knocks Proposal A group of Nash Hall residents have drafted a petitionasking that the administration reject the proposals of the Curriculum Commission. The petition called the commission's report on ways of restructuring the college "detrimental to the educational processes andgoals of this college." The main objection listed in the statement is that the restructuring of Westenvintoa four-year general education college will not fully equip students with "the necessary job skills needed tofunction in the realistic world." "It is not necessary to completely restructure the system to achieve themuch needed reforms," the petition states. The petition was drafted by Steve Huber, a sophomore English majbr from Bothell. "The idea came from our resident aide and we had a lot of help from a lot of people," Huber said.

Tulane, skippered by the U.S.'s premier collegiate sailor John Dane, successfullydefended their title against a field of 10 boats in the seventh annual running of the event. Competing infive races over Saturday and Sunday, Western's team managed to beat each team at least once with theexception of Tulane. They placed as high as fifth place in one race, while their worst attempt was lastplace in one race. This was Western's first attempt at Kennedy Cup competition. The team, though onlybeating out Notre Dame and Citadel, is far from disappointed over their showing. "We found out that wewere1 really competitive against the best teams in the nation," said team member Claude Kennedy. "Acouple of better breaks and we could have finished as high as third." Western's crew squad overturnedSeattle University (SU) Saturday, winning all three races on Lake Samish. Next Saturday the Viks facethe University of Washington (UW) and the University of Puget Sound (UPS) in their last home meet ofthe season. The Vik varsity-eight came in with a 7:31 time Saturday, eight seconds ahead of the SUteam. The junior varsity-eight crossed the finish line 20 seconds ahead of SU at 7:52, and Western'slightweight-four ran away from the opposition, registering an 8:30 time against SU's 8:56. All races wereover a 2,000 meter course. Coach Bob Diehl Jr. is trying to be optimistic about his team's chancesagainst the national championship team from the UW. "They haven't been beaten in two years," he said."They're a pretty scrappy bunch, but somebody's got to beat them and it might as well be us." Diehl isn't worried about the UPS squad. "They've got a young team, mostly freshmen, and shouldn't be too muchtrouble for us," he said. The relatively slow times at Saturday's meet-roughly a minute off record-breakingtimes-were due to choppy water and a stiff headwind according to Diehl. In his pre-meet pep-talk, Diehlwarned his team about "that final 500 meters." Later he explained that Western has a tendency to burnout in the final stage of the race. "Our strategy is different from most schools," he said. "Because we're a small team, we depend on a fast start; we have to set a fast pace and keep it up." This strategy puts anextra load on the coxwain, the man who sets the pace and steers the shell. It's his job to keep the crewfired up-he's a combination coach and quarterback with a megaphone. Western's three coxwains are JimStensen, Ward Fay and Joe Perez. Vik Nine Splits In Ellensburg KENT SHERWOOD Sports Reporter"For as little work as we've been able to get in because of the rain, we're looking real good." Those werethe sentiments of Western baseball coach Connie Hamilton, and after Saturday's double-header inEllensburg, it's hard to argue with him. The Viks split with Central, winning the first game, 4-0, anddropping the second, 9-1. Don Balke shut out the powerful Wildcats in the opener, limiting the defendingEvergreen Conference champs to five hits, while collecting nine strikeouts in going the distance. Western picked up their first run in the fifth inning after Dan Marlow singled. Mariow was sacrificed to second andwent to third on a simgle by Balke. Pete Johnson drove the run home with a sacrifice fly to left. The Viks erupted for three tallies in the sixth. Ron Porterfield was safe on an error and Dan Maupin singled to setthe stage for thirdbaseman John Bates. Bates walloped a 375-ft. home run to account for the final score. Coach Hamilton was doubly pleased with the win since the Viks defeated Central's All-Evco hurler, DanHaverlo. --"He's really good," said Hamilton, "the scouts have been trying to sign him for a long time. He's only a junior and has been the league's top pitcher twice." But Hamilton also reserved some praise forhis own pitcher. "Balke was just great, and so was everyone else. It was a great win, especially onCentral's home field in front of their fans." However, the large Central crowd was able to cheer in thesecond contest. The Wildcats exploded for five runs in the first inning on three Viking errors, to put thegame out of reach. "We should have gone home after the first game," Hamilton quipped. "We could haveused some rain then." The only bright spot for the Viks was again supplied by Bates, who slammedanother homerun, a 380-ft. job in the fifth. Neil Crawford took the loss. Centerfielder Johnson went 3-6 inthe twin bill. The split makes Western 7-4 overall and 2-2 in Evco play. "'We've got some great kids,"Hamilton continued, "with only one senior (Crawford) and we're definitely right in this race. In the firstCentral game we started two freshmen, two sophomores and four juniors so I'm real enthusiastic rightnow." Western next faces Southern Oregon at Bellingham's Civic Field on Saturday. Vikings Win FinalHome Meet It took some careful and masterful planning, but whoever is responsible for Western's trackschedule has succeeded. Just as spring decided to make an appearance in Bellingham, the Vikingcindermen have ended their 1971 home season. After three weeks of miserable weather, the sun finallyshined on Civic Stadium for the Vik's 1st home meet of the year, a three-way affair with the VancouverOlympic Club (VOC) and the Snohomish Track Club (STC).

Magee won both the 100 and 220-yd. dashes in :10.0 and :22.7, respectively.Vorce won the 440-yd. intermediate hurdles in :55.5, one-tenth of a second off of his school record run of:55.4 last week, which was the Northwest's best time going into Saturday's action. Magee and Vorcealso joined Dan Wakefield and Lance Wilson to win the 440-yd. relay in :43.6. Other Viking blue ribbonswere turned in by Rich Nomini, high hurdles; Wilson, long jump, and the mile relay team of Vorce, Randy Payton, Dick Foley and Jeff May.

In the march,500 or so anti-war demonstrators violated a city parade permit by using Holly Street, instead of the city-approved route down Magnolia Street. Names of those persons who were charged with violation of thenew traffic code are: Greg Baker, AS president; George Hartwell, activities commissioner; Gary Evans,legislator; Albert Halprin, legislator; John Stolpe, managing editor of the Western Front. Others chargedinclude Dr. Bernard Weiner, a former Western political science professor; Harriet Kravitz, JefferyHopper, James Maloney, Steven Pit ell, Curtis Rowell and Moses Strathern. Dan Larner, president of the Whatcom County Chapter, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told the Front that if the city doesissue summons then the ACLU will handle the cases. Larner said that a Bellingham attorney has beenassigned to the case, but he refused to disclose the attorney's name. Persons charged must post a$15 bail within 10 days after the summons is issued, and can have a court date set or forfeit the bail bynot appearing according to Cecil B. Klein, Bellingham police chief. Klein said that if a person who ischarged does not appear during the 10-day limit, a bench warrant would be issued and the policedepartment would pick the person up. "We could have made warrants out in the first place, but used amailed summons for their convenience," Klein added. The summons' should have been in the mailboxesof those people charged this week, Klein said. However names were released to the news media lastweek. Stolpe said that he was wearing a press card and carrying a camera during the march as amember of the working press. His ; account of the march appeared in the Western Front on April 21. No forceful attempt by the Bellingham Police Department was made to stop the protestors as they turneddown Holly Street chanting "Holly Street for the people." However, marchers have been awaiting adecision of whether or not the city would bring charges for the past month. Klein said that something had to be done soon on the matter since the news media has been badgering his department for theresults. Most identifications were made by officers in Klein's department, however, he said that somepeople at Western did help. He refused to give their names. "western front Vol. LXII no. 34 WesternWashington State College Bellingham, Washington 98225 Tuesday, May 26, 1970 10c Board declareselections invalid; new vote June 2 Petitions signed by more than 500 Western students stating thatThursday's election was improperly conducted and questions of voting secrecy have caused theElections Board to declare that election invalid. Election of AS officers and Legislators is rescheduled for June 2. The decision to invalidate last week's election results and call another election came out of anemergency meeting of the Elections Board called by chairman Steve Plancic Sunday afternoon."Secrecy of the ballots was the main issue involved," Gary Frederickson, a board member, saidyesterday. "The petitions were of secondary importance in our decision to call another election. I haddoubts about the election results before I had seen the petitions," Frederickson said. Morris Swadener,organizer of the petition drive, said that there was no opportunity to vote secretly, that election officialslooked at ballots after they were marked and did not have boxes to put them in, and that votingdirections for write-in candidates were confusing. He also suspected that some ballots were thrownaway. According to Swadener, the VU desk announced Thursday night that "about 4,000" ballots hadbeen collected, but the number Election results Greg Baker incumbent AS president received 28.7percent of the total votes cast for student body president last Thursday. The vote was moderately splitamong the three presidential candidates (appearing on the ballot) with Baker receiving 809 votes, LesSavitch 749 and Steve Cooper 605. Doug 'Squinty" Clark, the only write-in candidate, received 488.Vice presidential votes formed a close race, with Gary Evans leading John Engstrom by only 234 votes.Evans received 1,345, Engstrom 1,111. The top five candidates for legislature and their respective votesare: Doug Baker, 1,405; Jackie Lawson, 991; John McDonell, 974; Mary Ellen Watts, 958; and JerryApple, 866. Three resolutions also appeared on the ballot. The proposal to expand the presentLakewood facility of Lake Whatcom received a large plurality of favorable votes, passing 1,901-386. TheDaugert document for an all-college senate also received a favorable response, passing 1,857 - 834. The document failed to pass the Faculty Council last week, however, and will go into a committee foramendment before another all-college vote. On the third resolution 1,433 opposed President Nixon'sdecision to send troops in Cambodia, 834 favored it and 192 had no opinion. of votes reported after theyhad been counted was closer to 2,800. Swadener said that he did not know of anyone who had seenballots being thrown out. AS President Greg Baker c o m p l e t e l y denied any suggestion that someballots had been destroyed. At least one written statement by a voter was submitted to the ElectionsBoard which charged supporters of one of the candidates with marking in blank portions of completedballots to their candidate's benefit. The statement also said that at one time a polling booth wasmanned solely by known supporters of a particular candidate. However, the author said that she wouldwithdraw her statement until more substantial evidence could be obtained. Presidential candidates LesSavitch and write-in candidate Doug Clark said that they had not issued any charges against theelection results, but that they would abide by any decision they felt the Elections Board was within itspower to make. The Elections Board's decision to call a new election must be approved by the ASLegislature at today's meeting. Although the board's decision seems to be a matter for the StudentJudiciary Board, no members for that board were appointed this year. Baker said that candidatesagreed at a special meeting Thursday afternoon that the elections procedures* were fair, but that therewere other problems in those procedures. Ike Price, sophomore, led one of the many discussion groupsconcerning minority oppression on the Old Main lawn last week. Black Teach-in slated tomorrow An"awareness" teach-in will be held from 11-2 p.m. tomorrow in the VU lounge to focus attention oninstitutional and unconscious racism on campus. Dr. Robert Keller, assistant professor at Fairhaven,will speak on mandatory Black history courses. Several BSU members have been asked to speak, aswell as white students and faculty members. A group of about 30 white students, reacting to last week's B l a c k Student Union discussions, organized the teach-in. The teach-in will progress from a largeforum discussion to small group discussions. As chairman of the group Don Andrews said, theoppression of the black man is the white man's problem. The group visited classrooms on Thursday,discussing black oppression. Some questions posed were: 1) Why was there no student reaction hereto Jackson State? 2) Why are there only 120 Black students out of 8,000 at Western? 3) Why is therea need for ethnic studies? 4) Why are there only five or six faculty members that are black? 5) Is oureducation incomplete due to the exclusion of minority cultures? The group, bearing no official title,meets in VU 208 every Monday. Its purpose is fighting racism in the college community. For furtherinformation, contact Don Andrews at extension 2695 or Dick Weinstein at 733-2174. ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 26 - Page 2 ---------- VMklUIII HUM I ue^y, May zb, iy/u Community Council meets with town A confrontation betweenWestern students and Bellingham citizens occurred Sunday. A peaceful one. M e m b e r s of thenewly-formed Community Relations Council met with townspeople to discuss the Southeast Asiansituation and government policies in general. Following short introductions at St. James PresbyterianChurch, groups of three students and two citizens adjourned to homes throughout the community forlunch and discussion. At one home, dialogue turned quickly to the war in Vietnam and Cambodia. "Ithink we are all against the war," one woman said, "and I for one believe Nixon will end it soon." Thoughthe atmosphere was at times tense, participants agreed that the sessions were productive. "I just hopeand pray that the lines of communication can remain open", commented one citizen. According tocouncil chairman Dick Stransbury, the group is attempting to establish o p e n and productivecommunication between the college and the community.

He said he heard of theJackson State killings late Sunday night and immediately thought of flying the flag at half-mast Monday.He met with several Black students Monday but little was achieved. Flora explained that Western's lack of arousal over the murder of Black students was because of our involvement over the last two weeks inother recent events. Flora said, "I administer policy, not make it. I will do all I can to encourage as much discussion as possible. "This quarter is nearly dead. Next year we need new ways for all to worktogether on our problems." The crowd enthusiastically applauded. Flora sat down on the grass, puffedon his pipe and thought of something else he wanted to say. Back on his feet again, Flora repeatedlyurged students not to disrupt classes. He said faculty members are willing to listen if they areapproached the right way. "This is a grand college and I hope we all love it," he concluded. Dr. MichaelK. Mischaikow, professor of economics, told the crowd, "I have a responsibility to my adopted country to dissect the problems as they are. We need not only to talk but to act."

John Miles,panel member, stated his disgust at the lack of response. "It is the people that seem so concerned thatought to come and learn how to preceive and preserve the wilderness areas," he said. If people aren'tany more concerned about the forest and wilderness then showed by their attendance at the discussion"we have a problem," Miles said. Public support is needed to protect the forests, Harold C. Chriswell,forest supervisor at Mt. Baker National Forest, said. . It's people's feet that beat up the very resourcesthey love, he said. Miles said that the problem could be solved by dispersing people over wider areasand not confine them to small park areas where the ground becomes worn out. Better management ofmulti-use areas and population control will help in preserving the wilderness, Miles said. There are threethings college students can do to help: get the true facts, attend hearings on forest plans and becomeaware of the economic problems and their alternatives, Miles said. Henry A. Reasoner, forest m a n a ge m e n t Forester Washington State Department of Natural Resources, also urged people to learn thebasic laws and nature of the forest. Hearings on a master plan for forest areas will be held in SedroWoolley, and Wenatchee next month and in Wenatchee July 15, and on Mt. Vernon July 18. The futureof the forest does look bright, as long as the soil and supporting resources are not severely damaged.The Black Students Union is through "trying to communicate with White Society," sophomore Ike Pricesaid last week. "White America is only humane when its .interests are at stake," Price said duringmemorial services here for eight Blacks killed in Jackson, Miss, and Atlanta, Ga. He said that after theKent State University killings, students throughout the country staged mass protests, while only VArequires registration for Summer G.I. benefits Ex-servicemen form veterans' organization Westernveterans will soon have an organization to turn to for the solution of problems particularly unique to theex-military man. Tenants Union News HOUSING CONTRACTS - LEGAL AGE Ragan vs. Williams, A l a b a m a Supreme Courtâ€”1930, was one of many cases establishing the precedent that minors arelegally liable for necessities of life (food, clothing and HOUSING). This means that even though you may not be of legal age for many other items, you can enter into a contractual agreement for a rental unitand are held legally responsible for fulfillment of that agreement. This applies to unwritten agreementsas well. Courtesy of: The Tenants' Union 2nd Floor, VU WWSC 734-8800, ext. 2610 A meeting will beheld this week to discuss recommendat i o n s from an interim organizational committee which wasappointed last week. Time and place will be announced in the daily bulletin. Last week, about 50veterans met to discuss initial direction and purpose of the group. All interested vets are welcome toattend the next meeting. Veterans attending college under the GI Bill must submit a new enrollmentapplication to the Veterans Administration if they plan to attend college this summer, according toVeterans Affairs Director Lorraine McGaw. Veterans' benefits for the academic year are programmed for September through June and separate registration is required before payments will be made duringSummer session, she said. She also reminded veterans to return the certificate of attendance that wasmailed to them. The VA is programmed to prepare the final check (which should be received by June 15) only after the certificate is received. Since final checks probably will not arrive until after the veteranhas left college for the summer, all veterans should leave a change of address card so the post officecan forward the check. a relatively few non-Blacks protested the Jackson and Augusta killings.Following a 60-second period of silence "in memory of all Blacks murdered by the U.S. government," atribute was given to Malcolm X, the Black Nationalist leader who was assassinated in 1964. Theservices for the eight slain Black students coincided with the forty-fifth anniversary of Malcolm X's birth,May 19, 1925. Bill Little, another speaker at the memorial services, received a standing ovation when he declared that the Blacks were tired to trying to legally get their freedom. r Special Summer service!Direct to: SEATTLE $3.00 one way EVERETT $2.15 one way â€¢ Ask about convenient returnservice. â€¢ Why lug luggage?

Senator Henry Jackson was quick to claim credit for Nixon's decision, saying that he wrote to the president "expressing deep concern over the strong possibility we might have sabotage." Was it really sabotage that worried the senator? Orcould i t be that Jackson feared that one of the most massive public protests in Northwest history mightdrop into his lap like a political hot potato? The shipment, in five boat loads filling twelve trains including548 railcars containing nerve gas in bombs, rockets and projectiles, was to have passed through theBangor, Washington naval depot enroute to Hermiston, Oregon over a period of 34 days. Staunch nervegas critics argued that an accident along the rail route could have been disastrous. Significantly less than one drop of nerve gas on human skin is fatal, unless an antidote is quickly injected into the victim. Theproposed shipment could have developed into one of the most explosive issues, of the decade in thePacific Northwest. It has been one of the few public issues where students and ordinary citizens havestrongly agreed. Even the recent National Student Congress at San Jose, California unanimously vowedto support area students in their promise to stop the gas shipment, even if it meant lying down in thetrains' path. There was some speculation this week that the shipment would be sent to Alaska instead,but Senator Mike Gravel and Governor Keith Miller pledged to oppose any plans to make their home state a dumping ground for. lethal nerve gas. Senator Warren Magnuson is on the right track with his plans to continue a congressional fight to order de-activation of all nerve gas on Okinawa. One anti-gasorganization, People Against Nerve Gas (PANG), claims that an acid or alkali treatment can beemployed to neutralize the internationally unlawful weapons. PANG believes that it would cost a mere$250-400,000. We cannot afford to keep such truly dreadful weapons on an occupied island whichbelongs to the Japanese people, and it is now apparent that Americans will also fight Uncle Sam'sattempt to bring the nerve gas back home. ., , n , John Stolpe Don't consider rumors when voting Weshould listen to truth, not rumors. Anyone can start a rumor about ballot stuffing, improper electionsprocedures or unethical political practices. But these rumors should not be a consideration when wecast our new ballots next week. If these rumors and accusations can be supported by evidence, then that information should, and must, be a deciding factor in electing honest and responsible leaders. As yet,we have heard no proof. The percentage of Western's student body that turned out for last week'selection has demonstrated student apathy once again. Perhaps the invalidation will draw more votersnext week. Perhaps students will turn their backs on the election again. We are sick and tired of thosestudents whose only involvement in student affairs is their refusal to cast a ballot. So don't shrug yourshoulders on June 2. Elect the person you think will be the best leader. Vote.

This newspaper printed on thepresses of The Lynden Tribune. , ;, Losing track of ourselves Dr. Manfred Vernon Professor of PoliticalScience The stormy times for America are expressive of a society that seems to head in the direction ofself-destruction. The enervating tension of which the total social fabric suffers is indicative of terrible anddangerous division. There is also very little indication that the gap may be bridged at all. Much of thereason for such a move toward separation is blamed on those that you oppose thus making itunnecessary to face yourself in the reflection of the mirror. There are a number of reasons why individualscan be unhappy or distraught; for some it is Vietnam or Cambodia, pollution or the unlimited growth ofmankind, litter or non-returnable bottles, the plight of the city or of a minority, or the anger that there isdefying violation of law and order. All of these problems excite some or many; all of them are arrpoachedwith a vehemence to find quick solutions and, sadly enough, without sensible patience. A nation of go-getters, and of people insisting on having immediate results without any delay and thus bent on havingpeace now, tranquility today, cleanliness of earth at this very moment, gets itself into a condition of all-out involvement for any cause. Being believers in neat organization do we create exclusive moments,hours or days dedicated to change the course of things. A specific hour of mourning, a day reserved tomother earth, a minute of silence, an excursion to clean up the litter or a week dedicated to dealing in art and joy. In the meantime, obsessed with managerial zeal dedicated to the immediate solution ofeverything, we have lost tract of ourselves and of the thought that the existence of man, together withfellow man, is a full-time, full-life task to be approached with patience and consideration for each other.Above all, there is a crying need for listening rather than always telling. If we are not going to cultivate ourrespect for the rights of the other guy who himself has an obligation to respect my rights, if it is to be aone-way street only, we will fail. â€¢ -i^nWmiimTm- ' f 'â€¢"'tflWMWWi Black and White Bill Littlecontributor It is time to look at the problems of communication between the White and Black students on campus. It hurts my pride so deeply to hear a naive White liberal try to narrowly confine the problems ofracism to the individual level of understanding. The major problems that communication faces in societyis the "institution," locally known as the college itself. This institution develops a bureaucratic mind andfosters a blatant neglect of the multi-culture aspect of society. The "dominant cultural norms" as theystand today castigate Black needs and ideas. This castagation of Black needs and ideas has broughtabout in the Black man a new reality. This new reality is in contradiction with the dominant cultures'reality, (which is a White student reality, that cannot, and will not, adjust or accept it). In the past Blackscholars and learned Black men have had their reality relegated to a subordinate role. Today with thebroad distribution of their reality through paperback books and various other sources of information, theideas and need of Black men can no longer be relegated to a secondary or subordinate role. The effectsof this kind of confrontation of realities will bring about violent clashes within the society due to a multi-cultural nature and the dominance of our culture within that society. This situation can be alleviated byimplementing a program of multi-cultural knowledge, which takes into account various perspectives andperceptions. For example, it is advisable to see and know the perceptions of Malcolm X in relation tothose of Thomas Jefferson or the perspectives of W.E.B. Dubois along with those of Abraham Lincoln.These programs must be implemented as soon as possible to, alleviate the ppntemporary orpbterns. pftornprmw- , v^ ii â€” - - ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 26 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 26, 1970 Western Front 5 feedbackteedbackfeedbackfeec SAVITCH ASKS FORINFORMATION ON ELECTION INVALIDATION Editor: Because of the Elections Board's ruling of May24, 1970, in which the May 21 elections were declared invalid and because there have been serious m is i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of my position on the part of several people, I wish to make these followingobservations: 1.

I believe that if any serious breach ofelections rules did take place, the Elections Board is acting within its l e g i t i m a t e authority ininvalidating the elections and holding another one: 3. I believe, however, that the Elections Board'sdecision of May 24 was reached through procedures not in keeping with principles of communitydecision-making and that interested parties have a right to know what the charges were which broughtabout this decision, who the accusors were, and whether or not' the charges have been substantiatedand how; Your suspicion of Harriet is as groundless as that of the editors of Life, who in 1948 statedthat Clarissa, the heroine of Samuel Richardson's novel, was seduced by her lover Lovelace.

The festival included everything from story telling topoodle hair spinning. If a person had time to spare, he might buy a cup of Indian tea that was being soldin front of the Humanities building and stroll over by Haggard Hall to take in a couple episodes of the"Grimlin" being narrated courtesy of the lamp-seller. If a person didn't have time to stroll but a dime tospare, he could quickly view the stands through the window of a yellow and black Morris Minor thattoured Red Square every five minutes. The disadvantage of this type of viewing was that a person didn'tget a chance to supervise the custom-making of his leather belt or beads. However the Morris Minorrider did have a definite advantage. He didn't have to stumble over cigarette butts and campaign remainsentering and leaving Red Square. The Noguchi sculpture was dwarfed by the huge, air-filled tent. The air-tent filled nearly a third of Red Square when it was up. They sang let the sun shine, and the sundissolved the overcast to warm the backs of the cast of Hair last Friday in Red Square. The cast settheir equpment up under the balloon, but it decided to split itself apart at that time. They sang"Acquarius," "Masturbation" and ended with "Let the Sun Shine" to an audience that filled a fourth ofRed Square. Fisher fountain seemed to be wired to sound as it rose and fell with the pulsing music.One little girl got in the spirit by removing her pants to get the full benefit of the sun. photos by Todd The entire 32-member cast of Northwest Hair performed for an hour Friday. Three members lend their voicesto "Let the Sunshine In." Tuesday found Fisher Fountain invaded by an armada of one sailboat. r â€¢Dave Shannon, Frank Bradley and Len Yarberry, three members of the Outdoor Program took it uponthemselves to climb up the side of Bond Hall last week as their contribution to the Multi-Arts festival.During a practice session someone hollered out a window and asked them if they wanted a cup ofcoffee. One of the climbers was asked if the elevator wasn't working. Mike Collins, another OutdoorProgram participant, captained an eight foot Snark sailboat in Fisher fountain Tuesday. That evening 45people held a camp-in on the grass in front of the Humanities building led by Program people. Reportswere that their only problem was some football players about 5 a.m. ' ; â€¢' '"â€¢'â€¢* â€¢ â€¢ ' ^â€¢â€¢' The Multi-Arts Festival is over, yet it's excitement still permeates the campus. Activities wereendless and there was something for everyone to do or observe. The inflatable balloon, taller than BondHall; exhibits displaying individual arts and crafts; groups speaking on Old Main lawn; rock bands andlight shows were some of the major happenings. Many people felt the festival was the best thing thathad hit our campus in a long time. The Multi-Arts Festival, after months of planning, got peopleinterested and involved either passively or actively. Its success or failure is not the concern. What isimportant is that a week of art integration took place, to make the campus a more relaxed area than ithas been the entire year. Len Yarberry demonstrated mountain climbing for fhe Outdoors Program as heand two other climbers scaled Bond Hall. â€¢ *â€¢ gt; vv! ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 26 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, May 26, 1970 Western Front 7 Lots of people came and went about their business till it rainedthen came the music Photos by Litzenberger Page by Pinch ma toe "%â‚¬% K%â‚¬ WIM ^ I MC ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 26 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, May 26, 1970 SHERMAN-CLAY â€¢ pianos â€¢ organs â€¢ music 100 N.Commercial 733-2460 Injustice subject of play "The injustice of it is almost perfect!

It is a violent yet poignant protest against adecadent, materialise society; the hypocrisy of structured religion; politics; war and the war machine.Director Gayle Cornelison believes that the play is about human alliances and "people's reaction to andneed for love." The five-member cast i n c l u d e s : Jimmyâ€”Preston Boycf; Cliff-Rod David; A l i s o nâ€”Kathy Winkler; Helenaâ€”Linda Freeman; Colonel Redfernâ€”Mike Jorgensen. Jimmy lives with hiswife, Alison, and his business partner, Cliff, in a one-room flat. Jimmy constantly abuses Cliff andAlison, interrupted only when one of them turns on him. Helena, an actress, comes to live with them and pretends outrage at Jimmy's treatment of Alison. Helena induces a quarrel between husband and wifethat results in Alison's leaving. Alison returns, having lost Jimmy's baby by miscarriage and Helenaleaves. Alison and Jimmy have nothing to offer each other except need and this is enough to reunitethem.

The terrain included fallen logs, gigantic mud puddles that often engulfed both riderand cycle, fast moving streams, slick turf and one place between boulders where there was just enough room for rider and cycle. Jim Dunn and Bob Carlson tied for second place, with times of 1 hour, 22minutes. Dunn raced on a Suzuki 250 while Carlson rode a Honda 90. Laird Donaldson, who raced on aHonda 90, placed fourth in 1 hour and 28 minutes. Grant Smith, Tom Mattern, Bill Woodland and JimDickinson were the other four competitors.

Students were heard exdadming, 'My; God, I can't believe it!' and,'Is_is for real? It's been so long!' Has the wrath of the Gods finally been appeased? What have we doneto deserve such a,, gift?Yes* the Sun. has finally consented to remain in view for nine consecutive hours! Now, -if only it would stay for awhile. Many are not from such sun forsaken areas, and summer just isn't the same without those nice warm summer days. Do you know that the average 50 year rainfall for Julyis .86 inches, and that the first 4 days of July .this year almost doubled that number with 1.56 inches? June had less than the average for that month , . . what is the matter with July? If this type of actioncontinues we must retaliate. The answer? A sun strike! If the coffee shop is not going to discriminate .on their ice cream scoops, why should the .-sua ifie such a partisan? Fifty years ago it was fashionable to look, pale and wan, but today 'most enjoy the healthy glow of a good tan rather than the sneezes of asummer coldti For those who happen to wake up very early in the morning the rainy weather is a doubletragedy- It: has been observed that aroundl dawn it is usually clear but, what a let down, after going back to sleep, to look out the window again. and . . . . . . . more rain!

She sone of the many who will help children in the kindergarten category get a chance in life. A similarproject, Upward Bound, earlier rained an entire staff of Western students for work in Sitka, Alaska. TheUpward Bound program is an extension of Project Overcome. Princess moves west; tells of Red threat'By DUNCAN SAUNDERS Collegian News Editor A woman who spent eight years under Communism,rincess Caradja, of Romania, warned'a small group of list-ners in the Viking Lounge Thursday night thatthe Soviet Jnion was still striving to conquer the United_ States, The Princess has ddeevvootteedd all ofer time to traveling in the United tates and Canada to warn of the led Threat' against America. PrincessCaradja related that no latter how many promises the Rus-ians make, they have no intention f keepingthem and they are con-dent that we will believe every-ing the Communists say. The Princess told of thebrutal ke-over by the Communist regime E Romania in the Spring of 1944 fter a three day peace treatywhich as broken by force. The communists immediately ap-ropriated all homes for State use ud tookcontrol of all jobs. A large umber of people were left both jmeless and jobless and promptly oze to deathduring the next few inters, she said. Children, as they reach the age of 10 must swear an oath of blindallegiance to the State which results in the betrayal of parents and their old fashioned ideas to thesecret police for imprisonment and torture, according to the Princess. She escaped a large seizure of 20,000 persons on March 1, 1949 when .she was delayed returning from work. Realizing that it was nolonger safe to remain in Romania, she accepted the offer of a daughter living in the United States andescaped early in 1952. Religion is denied to young people until they reach the age of 18, thePrincess informed her audience. If they discuss religion before this time, they face possibleimprisonment. All Churches are State-owned as well, said the Princess. Western has become a hugeelaas-roomi for staff members of the Headstart and Upward Bound projects. The Upward Bound hastrain ed 13 staff members for work in Sitka, Alaska, and Headstart has engaged 28 trainees for field work in communities throughout the state.

Buses for the trip will leave from the front of Haggard Hail at 7:30 a. m. sharp. They will arrivein Victoria approximately 11:00 a. m.

This means many of thestudents are stimulated toward, vocational schools instead of college. The remainder of the 70Alaskan will be aimed toward Western, or some other institution.

The whole room is filled with bright,beautiful colorsâ€”on the. floor, on the walis and hanging from the ceiling. It's all part Of the SeventhBiennial Fiber, Clay and Metal Art show; displayed at Western's art gallery this week. The first thingsthat catch the eye upon entering the art gallery are the hand wpven rugs, done in brilliant colors, and in a most un-rug like way. These are not rugs one would want to,standi uponâ€”they are truly pieces of art.The rugs, jewelery and pottery on display were done by students at. the Saint Paul Art Center inMinnesota. The show has traveled all over the United States, and has usually been highly acclaimed.The students have taken functional objects and created a new field of fine arts. The pieces reveal theimaginative, creative bent of artists thinking for themselves, using materials honestly, but in a personal way, apart from mass appeal. Weaving, jewel: I ing. ery making and pottery are traditionally in thefield of crafts, rather than arts; this exhibit seems to show that they have emerged into the field offine arts. The pottery and jewelery are as magnificent and fresh as the weaving. Their creators haveexplored new ideas, uniting originally unrelated objects, giving them a new meaning and forming theminto a symbol of protest against all unimaginative, technically simple craftsmanship. In this age of somuch protest â€¢and rebellion it is no wonder that traditional crafts are in rebellion loo. And from thelooks of this display it seems that they are succeed- ---------- Collegian - 1966 July 8 - Page 2 ---------- TO COMFORT THE AFFLICTED . . â€¢ â€¢ . AND AFFLICT THE COMFORTED wha' happened out there This week, as they say in the trade, was deader than Boston after dusk on Sunday. Or Monday, orTuesday for that matter. First we sat around waiting for the news to break. Not a sound. Then, we sallied forth, looking for news to break. Not so much as a tweak. It was one of those weeks when the proverbial "Man bites dog" would make the line â€¢Story. But we didn't even have a canine-chewing student oncampus. Two: weeks ago we led with Project Overcome. Last week it was Project Catch-up and so thisweek we're giving Project Upward; Bound and Project Headstart equal time: Nothing has happened herethis quarter. Our editor wistfully said, "Maybe next; week . . ." Wednesday; So, do something,peopleâ€”Mike Williams this time we get "slipsies" Well, we asked for it. We said in so many words"What's the matter with you clods out there? Why don't you start griping? How about some illuminating letters?" We got a few illuminating letters alright, and when they turned on the flashlightâ€” there, right in the'middle of the Spotlight, was our foot lodged in our mouth. We criticized the program councilfor Hot providing enough entertainment, specifically dance band music, for the more mature studentson campus. It seems that We were not courteous enough to check whether they had already done thisbefore blasting off at the mouth. It turned put that there were two such dances scheduled previously. Normally we would follow the lead of all "good" editors and remain aloof, oblivious to all comment.We. could just say "They just don't; understand the problems of the journalistic- profession." ^ But sincewe have long had reason to quarrel with certain of the axioms of the hallowed traditions* we|w?ili differ.We pulled a,boo gt; booJlSat's all it was. It wasn't a verybigboo. boo, but it still was quite embarrassingy Since there is really little way of excusing that sort of thing, we just won't. But don't take this thewrong way. It does not mean that there will be no more mistakes in the Collegian. We will probablyput both of-our feet in our mouth next week. The important thing is that we recognize our mistakesj and-though there is no guarantee those mistakes won't happen again, it is less likely than before. We arelearning, every week from our â€¢ mistakes, but are you learning from yours?- letters to the editor .JSditor, The Collegian: It has not, in the past, been my policy to waste valuable time in composingletters to editors, but a situation has arisen which compels |i gt;e to speak out. Western is faced with acrisis of which most people are seemingly uninformed, and the public must be made aware in orderthat action may be iorced. What is this crisis? Subversion, sir, is rearing its ugly head in the birdsanctuary! I am what might be called an "olid timer" at Western. I remember the coffee shop in the AM building; I have played catch on "the lawn where Haggard Hall now stands; and I have called for adate at the Ed. building in the days when it was WRH. Prominent among my memories of those thrillingdays lt;A yesteryear is the recollection of Old Glory waving proudly from the head, of her flagpole onthe little nil across the street from the present location of the VU. The proud symbol of our nation wasvisible from almost any point on campus in those happy days, when her patriotic glory would thrill astudent turning from contemplation of the ivy that supports .Old Maui, emerging fronv an observationof girls" swim classes hi the old gym, or trudging up the hill from an afternoon session at the Magnolia. -' But .now?. Now^the situation has changed! No longer may we be thrilled by the sight of our colorsfloating proudly in the bay breeze. For, despite the best efforts of Sarge,Augie, and a host of other !unsung[patriotic canines Who laborer mightily to keep the ground at its base moist and fertile, theflagpole has been outstripped by the Douglas fir which surround it. Now, far be it from me to point thefinger of blame, but the guilt must lie somewhere. Is it the fault of the administration, for not takingremedial action before the situation degenerated this far? Is it the fault of the grounds-keepers (Perhapscommunist infiltrated) who tend and nurture all growing things on campus, but spare not a jot of vigorofor the flagpole? Wherever the blame may lie, something must be done. In line with this, I have asuggestion. A new flagpole would be very costly, and cutting the trees is out of the question (thoughtheir timber value might help to defray the cost of. a new bronze sculpture to replace them). I suggestsending a signal of distress to the forestry schools of UW, WSU, and Everett Junior College. Surelythe able woodsmen of these institutions would respond in our hour of need, and, with their help, we could log out a twenty-foot section of each of the offending trees and graft the remaining portions together."This would destroy, none of the natural beauty of the campus, and would restore the Stars and Stripesto its proper position of dominance. I myself will furnish, free of any charge, a formula for grafting wax,just to get the ball rolling. In the hope that the "Collegian" will rally tother support of this worthy cause; Iamâ€” Yours for a better America* DONALD P. WENKE P. S.

It is a battlethat always ends in a stalemate, although I've been threatened with such wartime atrocities as, â€”.being ordered to leave the laboratory. â€”â€¢being threatened~with failure for the experiment. Theantagonist is one young graduate assistant, the antithesis (anew word I'n\trying out) of the friendly,soft-spoken instructor of the course. Each week we engage in a word battle similiar to that of two UnitedNations delegates. I politely ask him a question and he carefully reminds me that phosphorus ispoisonous. Moments later, like little boys, we exchange words somewhat like: He: "I wish you not towork with others on this problem. Do it yourself or get help-from one of the instructors^'' I: "O. K., sohelp me." He: "See one of the other instructors.^ The initial shots were fired in the first lab which dealtwith units of measure and weight. I wasn't wearing my safety glassed while helping a girl with hermeasurements. The enemy strutted into view. "Put oh your safety glasses," he clipped. Stubbornly, Irefused, "They give me a headache." Speaking like a Prussian Ober-leutnant to a Bavarian private hesaid, "Then, I must ask you to leave the lab." I didâ€”going across to the supply room to get another pair of safety glasses to perch on my forehead. I thought the science lab this quarter was goings to be adrag, but now L look forward to each session, eagerly anticipating another engage Editor,_JTheCollegian: Mr.-Williams,'the Grumbler from the' Left, doesn't know^whether to go forward or backward, inthe first issue, of theCollegian, he protested against the "outworn and oldMfashioned" hours forwomen; his plea was for modernization. The second issue, however, nostalgically cries out for the"return to the ice cream scoop." He states: "We foresee many of the other old standards of Westernbeing pushed aside for expediency." Evidently Mr. Williams cannot decide whether he wants the goodold days or the advent of progress. The ice cream scoop .used by the Saga Coffee Shop is representative of the progressive outlook at Western. The scoop gives equal opportunity for all; ho longer Will theamount of dice cream be determined at the discretion of: the- scooper. How better can Western sljow its absence of. discrimihation?..." We wish Mr. -Williams would make up his mind whether he is grumblingfrom the left or the right. His stand on representative issues seems to confuse rather than Clarify theissues. Is he a Victorian in knee-pants or. a man with foresight for the future?

The beach p a r t i e s and w a r m lazy afternoons on t h e beach have never sounded more appealing, b u t so f a r t h e w e a t h e r has p r o v i d ed few chances for such e n t i c i n g leisure. But there are still plentyof things to do and see aroung B.011-: inghamâ€”rain or shine. Western; itself offers many activities,bqthu cultural and recreational. There are top films, American; and foreign, shown every week' in theAuditorium at very reason--: able prices. There are always, speakers and exhibits coming to thecampus. Such places as the Art building and lounge often house well-known, traveling exhibits. ; TheGrotto, located in the lower depths of the VU, besides cater-- ing to pool and ping pong players, * nowrents bicycles for those: whov wish to combine fun arid exercise.5 For those who enjoy boating, Western offers Lakewood; a beau-* tiful site on Lake Whatcom, re-J served soley for Western students/^ AtLakewood there aire boats for â€¢ sailing and canoeing, a swim-" ming area^ picnic benches and a'barbecue, and a volley ball and badminton court. , , A cabin with a fireplace addsf yet another attractionto Lake-wood.

There are boat trips to Victoria and to the San Juan Islandsâ€”both areworthwhile for almost anyone.- LOTS TO DO Bellingham itself provides many things to do.Bellingham, Bay offers an exciting experience for the more adventurous type. Ships from all over theworld stop here, and their crews usually welcome interested landlovers aboard. A fairly new addition tothe entertainment hub of the Northwest is East Orange, a hospitable coffee house, on State street.Run by two students, East Orange is a good place to go for relaxationâ€” the dim lights and a cup ofsteaming coffee provide an ideal atmosphere for a discussion, or for a short nap. For those whohave a, car, Birch Bay can be a lot of fun.'. On:the weekends, the Bay is literally teeming with youngpeople. There are horses to ride, go-karts, and an amusement park. There are dances every weekend,featuring popular rock and roll groups. The drive to the Bay is a scenic one, and there i are manybeautiful beaches in the area. AND BOOZEâ€¢':'â€¢'. .

The recent graduate of Westernstarted taking lessons spring quarter without her mother's permission, but has now convinced her nervbus "mater" that she is at home in the skies. Miss White lives in Kodiak, Alaska, where she will completeher flight training in two months.

PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS Bellingham National Bank Building Cornwall and Holly Ph. 734-4340 Ever since the days of the longskirted, fanatic suffragettes, women have been moving away from the kitchen stove and into working attire with 'surprising vigor. One Western co-ed, Joyce White, has traded her griddle and girdle for a setof wing flaps and a pilot's chair. ' -â€¢â€¢* The June graduate of Western has been spending her schooltime learning to fly an airplane, a handy chore for a resident of the isolated city of Kodiak, Alaska. Her father started her aeronautical adventures three years ago when he took up flying.- After "pappy"got his wings he asked his daughter if ishe wanted to take a little try. - The old, "woman's place is in the home," doctrine almost cancelled her flying ambitions when "mother*' heard of her daughter's plans tolevitate. She said "Absolutely, no!" So that ended that for a while..- But when she was away from theenvirons of her near polar home, Miss; White received a cal from her father. He asked her again df shewanted lessons, this time with out Mrs. White's knowledge. Well, no good suffragette type can stand topass up the challenge of dabbling in a "man's" game. So she began taking instructions spring quarter atthe Floathaven Seaplane base, next to the college's Lakewood property on Lake Whatcom. "I washoping to get my license the same time I graduated, but I just couldn't study the flying manual while Iwas taking classes," she said. "It's too bad I didn't have 'time, because when my mother came down forthe graduation she found out I was flying. It was pretty sticky there for a little while, until she met myinstructor, Lane Older. I think he calmed her down a lot." Now the Geology major has logged over 45hours in the various planes at the seaplane airport, and has become quite competent. "But at first I wasterribly nervous. I have never really panicked, but I sure have been scared a couple of times," said MissWhite. What's at like for a girl to be up in the air all the timeâ€”diteral-ly? "It's great, I'm going to tryâ€¢stock car racing next," answered the flying female collegian. She feels that a lot of pilots areprejudiced against women flying airplanes. "One time I came out to Floathaven and took one of theseaplanes up for a little spin. Some guy was standing there talking with my 'instructor, and he nearlyfainted when I got in the plane by myself/" she said. The road to the private pilot's license is almostover, but she must now pass the written test given all private pilots. Miss White will return to Alaskawhere she will continue practicing with her father's Cessna 180 Seaplane. She estimates that dt willtake her another two months to pass her requirements. Dr, R. A.

We tried it, and this is our statement—it simply isn't logical!

WeB r—quoting another prof—yes,| and no! Some people think that there's not enough work in the home for them to do—but, on the other hand, if they'd discard ye famouse -can-opener for a long white apron and make some food like "mother used to make" perhaps a few of the men would find that they wouldn't have to drink kraut juice for "that tired feeling". o o ' A lot of folks are committing suicide!

Every little move she makes—bing! Her name is plastered in big letters somewhere on the upper region of every newspaper published. They're shrewd people, too, these Japanese, and inclined to be a trifle dangerous if not taken in the right way. People are beginning to think they should be shaken well before breakfast and put in a cool, dry place for a couple of generations. Then again—lots of them would give a good old eye tooth to get a little of their publicity for personal use! o o Ghandi's in jail now, too, isn't he? What a shame!

This action was decided upon at the regular meeting of the Board, Wednesday, Jan. Is. Sivert Skotheim, chairman of an investigation committee, reported at the Wednesday meeting on the advisability of changing the requirements for eligibility in obtaining an athletic sweater award so that they would be consistent with the participation requirements as set by the State Normal Trustee's Board last spring. Ruling Differs The requirements as outlined in Article 3 Section 6 of the by-laws of the Students' Association constitution of this school are: "That no individual shall receive an award who has not completed at least twelve hours of satisfactory work in the institution in the quarter in which he has earned his sweater. That the student shall turn out for each respective activity during the entire season unless excused by the coach for some legitimate reason." The ruling of the trustees is that only ten hours of satisfactory work are to be required in order to participate. •'•'•'•'* Change Proposed' . r Skotheim, after conferring with Coach S. E. Carver and President C. H. Fisher on the subject, suggested that a change, be made in the constitution. The Board of Control favored the report and passed a motion tnat Skotheim's suggested be presented to the student association as a whole, for a vote at some future date. It was further decided that President Colin Campbell appoint a committee to investigate any possible changes in the constitution, as it now stands, to make it consistent with the new state requirements which make this school a three-year institution. The constitution in its present form was written to (Continued on Page Two) PLANS FOR WINTER QUARTER DISCUSSED W. A. A. Officers, Chairman and Advisers Meet Monday Officers, sports chairmen, and advisers of the Women's Athletic association met last Monday evening, January 11, at the home of Miss Weythman for supper and discussion of the plans for winter quarter activities. Possibilities of sending a delegate to an athletic association conference to be held in April in Los Angeles were discussed. The organization is in favor of having a representative attend this conference. . For the purpose of looking into the Los Angeles meeting further Dorothw Top and Theona Flick were, chosen as a committee. Plans for several social and special activities were also discussed at the supper meeting. It was suggested that a boys' and girls' dance be held on February 12. June McLeod was appointed chairman of this and will appoint her own committees at an early date. Plans for an outing to the meadows in the snowwere; also-made. Jan. 30 was chosen.-"as a tentative date, although .^^p':is;';^';:jqtdtfii: todefijrdtev^^^^ take a trip to the Viqueen lodge p Stoclj^ fan. 27 Is New Date Set for Concert of Symphony Orchestra That the date of the Little Symphony concert will be changed to Wednesday, January 27, from January 19, the date previously set, was announced by Harold B. Smith, director. This change was made due to conflicting dates. As some of the members are from the Seattle Symphony, it was impossible to have it a week from the original date because Seattle will hold its symphony concert at that time. The program for the event is as follows: Symphony in B minor, Schubert; overture, "Midsummer Night's Dream," Mendelssohn; Ballet Suite, Gluck; Intermezzo from "Naive," Delibes; Polonaise from " B o r i s Godounof," Moussorgsky; Entr'acte from "Rosemunde," Schubert; Aragonaise from "Le-Cid," Massenet. The program will begin at 8:20 and student activity tickets will admit, as was announced before. Frosh Class Party Will Be "All Wet" In Deep Sea Idea The freshman class party to be held January 29 in the big gym is expected to be a unique affair, with a selected committee working on a "deep sea" idea. , Jack Burns' orchestra will play. Bennerstrom Chairman The party is being headed by the general chairman, Liilian Bennerstrom, who is assisted i gt;y a general committee consisting of L o u i se Armstrong, Naomi Watson, Mar-jbrie Morris and June Jevning. Those on the decoration committee are Verna Thomas, Eleanor Fraser, Joyce Pf ueller, Doris McElmon, Ro-sanne Young, Grace Goddard, Howard Wasley, Stewart Blythe, Jimmy Thompson and Bob Diehl. The program committee, Marjorie Morris and Dorothy Fiala, and refreshment committee, June Jevning and Jean McMillan. Plans Approved "Mr. Hoppe, our faculty adviser, is very much in favor of the plans for the party," says Miss Bennerstrom, "and I believe enthusiasm should be found among the class more than is shown concerning usual class functions." Sophomores who were freshmen last quarter will be given tickets to the party because no party was held last quarter. WOMEN ASSEMBLE WITH PURPOSE OF FORMING PEP CLUB Girls Given Opportunity to Sign on Bulletin Board for Membership to Club CLUB ADVISERS CHOSEN (Editorial Comment; See Page 2) With the purpose of creating pep and stimulating school spirit, a group of girls have been meeting to organize a Pep Club. Before the club can become an organization their constitution must pass the faculty board of affairs. A committee of Elsie O'Donnell, chairman, Ruth Neal, Mary Hibbs and Naomi Watson was elected to draw up a constitution. This will be submitted to the girls for approval before it goes to the board. Horton Adviser Miss Margary Horton, swimming instructor, was elected as adviser to the club. All girls who are interested in such an organization were given the opportunity to sign up on the bulletin board. After today the membership will be closed for the rest of this quarter. Meetings Held Two meetings were held this week. At the first meeting Miss Mildred Tremain, secretary to the dean of women and now acting in her place, explained to the girls the reason that a Pep club which was started two years ago was a failure. A special meeting was held Wednesday noon for the girls to decide on some issues to be in the constitution. — o— REC HOUR ORCHESTRA WILL COMPETE TODAY Future Whitemans, Lombardos, and Arnheims will display their wares during the Rec hour this.afternoon in the competitive tryout to decide which orchestra will dispense tantalizing tunes and snappy syncopation for the benefit of dancers at the Rec hour this quarter. Every band that desires a chance to tryout will be given an allotted time during the Rec hour from 4 to 5:30 this afternoon and at the conclusion of the dance the Board of Control headed by Colin Campbell will make the selection. Various Courses Organized For Students Interested In Music Are there courses in Music of-A fered to students of this school as mediums for individual musical expression? "Many courses are organized for the benefit of students interested in almost every phase of music according to H. B. Smitn, director of Music department. Through the medium of phonograph records the student becomes familiar with works of the great composers of the world. Compositions of Beethoven, Liszt, Grieg, Bach, and some of the moderns, are analyzed and explained. The student in Music Appreciation learns to understand good music. Not only is he taught to know good music when he hears it but to discern which is good and which poor. Is there a school orchestra? According to Mr. Smith, there is no such actual organization, but the students ---------- Northwest Viking - 1932 January 15 - Page 2 ---------- Sftlfe-i V^iff- WA S H I N G T O N S T A T E N O K M ^ s"Xaiojf' Q L . i B E M J N G H A M / W M H I N G T Q N Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evfery Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham.

Pep Band—Next? Efforts are being made by a group of women to organize a Pep club. This is the first attempt in several years to remedy the much discussed lack of spirit in the school. If any lasting amount of spirit and interest comes from this venture, (and we sincerely hope it does) it is proper that it be the women who are responsible. Despite their scarcity in number, it has been the men of the school who have led in activities. The men have dominated in most school elections. They have placed men in positions with the responsibility of creating so-called "pep" and both sponsors and electors have failed in this responsibility. The women now have taken the initiative. The leaders in this movement have and deserve the hearty support of all who have been conscious of the deficiency of student enthusiasm. With the inauguration of the Pep club may we suggest a companion organization? Would a pep band be beneath the dignity of Bellingham Normal? The Music department has expressed its willingness to co-operate with this suggestion A suggestion to the Men's club In addition to your other activities, why not try to foster a musical organization that would give pleasure to participants and student audiences alike . . • A dream or reality? PEP CLUB A N D B A N D LEAD 800 ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS IN BIG RALLY FOR "THE WHITE A N D BLUE", The world marvels: Mussolini now has his own speeches censored, before they appear in print... He was formerly a newspaper man, you know. Why marvel? ,ii€flBy|^iie .Schagei)^'.;. Are Married Teachers Permanently Banned? School teachers in the State of California will no longer be asked to resign should they marry, it is thought by legal authorities. School Boards in California towns as in many communities of this state require women teachers, who marry after a teaching contract has been signed, to give up their positions. In a test case recently in a small California town a woman teacher 'who married during the summer vacation refused to resign when asked \o do so by the school board and reported regularly to her superintendent ~for assignment. A search was made of California court records and the "decision reached that a resignation request must not be made solely upon '* die basis of the marital status. Although this "discrimination", as practiced in Washington, may make for more jobs for Normal graduates, a condition the school desires, still it does not make for permanent upbuilding of the school systems of the state- Women students of this school might well be opposed to married women in the schools but once thty stcure positions their attitude will undoubtedly change. And the change will not be from purely -selfish reasons either. They will realize the importance of experience in teaching and will also see. that being married or wanting to be married -makes no difference in die ability of a teacher. By amassing a 39-point total in tthe first half, the flashy Viking Manor five coasted to an easy 63- to-9 victory over the cellar champions, the Kings, Tuesday afternoon, January 12. The Manor five showed a well balanced attack with everyone taking part in the scoring. Griffen with 16 points and Gable with 18 tallies, and Zwascha with 14 points led the attack. Loomis, tall rangy lad from Mount Baker high, featured the play in the first half until leaving the game because of personal fouls. The tall boy annexed 9 points during his term of residence. Victory in this game placed the Manor boys in second position in the intramural league race and should give Co-Op a run for the banner next half. Glopen at forward was high for the Kings with four points. Lineups ] Viking Manor, 63 Kings, 9 Russia is adopting a general system of morals for her adults, similar 1 Gable, 18 ...F:.. :...Glopen, 4 Russia! Russia! Everyone's talking about Russia. We didn't know a thing about Russia, so we decided to find out what everyone is so excited about. We went to the library in search of "anything on Russia". The first thing that fell into Our hands was "New Russia's Primer—the story of the Five-Year Plan." A little book with large print—Here is the whole thing in a nut shell—What a break! "Hew Russia Primer," by M. Din, is a story of how coal is mined, factories are run, machines are handled. It is designed to enlight-en the young Soviet on subjects that our children learn in their industrial geography. These things are not new to our children, because wherever they go every day, they see machines doing man's work; these things are new to Soviet children for not many years ago boatmen were still pulling boats up the Volga and singing their plaintive tunes,' the while. - This Russian, M. Ilin, the author, has caught the vision of this machine age and he thrills perhaps as your grandfather and mine did when they first saw the steamboat and heard about Eli Whitney's famous cotton gin. The last chapter of this little red book is very inspirational and rings very sincere. This author has titled it, "New People". Even the words 'peasant' and 'workman' will pass away. Only the word 'laborer' will remain". And again he says, "Socialism is no longer a myth, a phantasy of the mind. We are building it." Yes, our friend Ilin has a vision no doubt but we find ourselves asking what caused this sudden Russian, flash ef seeming intelligence; who is back of this all? What of Stalin? We finished the book and now we don't know a thing about the government, the living conditions of Soviet Russia. Some folks say over there people are starving to death. Some people aren't eating very regularly right here in America. "But," we resolved, "ye're not through with Russia yet." Will Durant says in his book, "The Story of Philosophy," "When we have learned to reverence liberty as well as wealth, we too shall have our Renaissance." / / you are interested in this new thought, we suggest that you read, "Equality", by Edward Bellamy. _ o :— Flashy Viking Manor Five Wins Easy Game Over Cellar Champs Speaking of costumes, rather, speaking of color combinations, or perhaps speaking, of contraltos, anyway,-—/ '"'•' y0nttf^^rius:; :-: Side M|tl^K^hble Various.members of the Dra-; ma club getting all dramatic about "Liliom" — June Welch giggling over a delayed sneeze in history class—Miss Horton, heroine of the apple sauce tragedy, having rather a bad time of it in gym work—Ned Sandvig waiting around all evening at the "Mixer" just to dance with a certain blonde— Library instruction . class becoming terribly restless for some reason or 'hother—Bill Buttles shivering in tjhte cold wintry blast while engaged in polite confab with a femme on yon campus—the deah editor grinning from auditory appendage over a perfectly sizzling student opinion—Bid Sells, always the courteous escort, gallantly letting Iola carry her own books, but maybe she's a suffragrettte — Ing Ivei-son blushing coyly upon being asked for a dance by a certain admiring co-ed—Pauline Hammond becoming intensely excited over a bunch of whatcha-macallits and thingamajigs appearing under the microscope— Posy Flowers, nose at a 45 degree angle, sporting that extra special new sweater of his—a few more stripes and he'll look like a convict or the commander of the Swiss navy. NEW COURSE BEGUN IN MENTAL HYGIENE Small Class is Enjoying Work on Problem Children £ub Reporters Given ,: !Tjr#0ipnal Thrills ^ Ghostly groans, sighs and shrieks, the rattle of bones and the raging and hate-consumed screams of disturbed, long-dead Chinamen filled the palpitating air at the initiation of the new members of the Viking staff last night. All this joined with nervous masculine laughs and feminine gasps created a veritable pandemonium. History Told After hearing an extremely interesting story of Bellingham's ancient history the cub reporters went stumbling down an old mine shaft, only to see a gruesome spectacle. In a ghostly green light dead Chinamen were splashing and gurgling against the sides of the tunnel. Thinking that their persecutors had relented, the innocent children, Naomi Watson, Jack Sears, Bruce Springford, Harriet Rickerson, Berridge Marsh, Arvid Griffen, Grace Goddard, Dorothy Fiala, Marydel Conrad and Louise Marr, looked happily forward to the prospect of sitting on a mossy green log and holding hands with somebody nice. But oh, what a disappointment! Take journalism and find out. Traditions Found Out They also became acquainted with some of the traditions of the paper, including type lice and the Viking cow? As an afterthought a little artificial dandruff was lt; distributed here and there in the appropriate places. In fact, all thoughts turned to Listerine in large quantities. For compensation refreshments of a peculiar color were handed out. o ORCHESTRA FOR REC TO BE CHOSEN BY BOARD (Continued from Page one) Loomis, 9 ... Decent conduct is not enforced by threats.

Those impersonating motor vehicles were called before the sheriff to be sentenced. The prosecuting attorney suggested that they be given m^, g i m " m jail sentences but they were finally allowed to go free except that at dinner Wednesday all initiates were required to eat from their laps with the backs to the table arid wear their hair in braids. Penalty for disobedience, twenty spats from one of the huskiest paddle squads in years. The initiation was followed by stunts put on by the girls on the different floors. The climax of the evening came in the first floor stunt when Margaret Jacob put on her hypnotism act. Refreshments were served later from the filling station in the corner of the room. The girls initiated were Betty Doane, Peggy Forrest, Reha Newman, Leatha Dodge, Helen Jed-kland, Helen Pybus, Louise Rice, Jerry Taylor, Virginia Hunt, Virginia Hutchinson and P r a n c es Dewey. The committee heads were Kath-rine Evers, general chairman; Florence Dobbs, refreshments; Beth McLeod, program, and Peggy Forrest, new girls. o Miss Burton Entertains Miss Beatrice Burton, Normal school graduate, was hostess at a hridge party last Saturday evening at Talahi House. The guests were: Miss Prudence Wolf, a teacher in the Bellingham school system, and the members of the house, Evelyn Montgomery and Ruth Hastings. Waffle Supper Given Mildred and Roberta Leake entertained a group of friends with a waffle supper at Ragan House last Friday evening. The guests were: Donna Aisted, Florence Laviolette, Henny Lund and Rebecca Apple. . . . H a l l Holds Elections Edens Hall elections were held Monday, January 4. The following were elected to hold offices during the winter quarter: Marion Grieves, social chairman; Borghild Kasper-son, secretary-treasurer, and Julia Christenson, house reporter. Ivah Guernsey Is President Terrace House held its first meeting last Monday evening to elect officers. Ivah Guernsey was elected president and Winnifred Klaus social secretary. The house rules were explained to the new girls, who are Adeline VanHee, Ella Brei-land, Beatrice Helsen and Winnifred Klaus. Bridge Party Given To Announce Co-op Girl's Engagement Of interest to the Normal students is the announcement of the engagement of Miss Eileen O'- Rourke to Mr. Charles S. Paynton, of Lynden. Miss O'Rourke is a member of the Co-op staff of the school. A cleverly appointed bridge luncheon was given Saturday afternoon at Chuckanut Shell. Designating the places for 27 guests were miniature newspaper as favors, within which was discovered the news of the engament. Bridge prizes were awarded to Miss Mildred Tremain, first; Miss Inez Swanson, Ace; and Mrs. Edith R. Banner, consolation. o LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS GRANTED "REC HOUR" ._' e Fashionable Coed JJfr IN the afternoon a young woman's fancy wonderingly turns to thoughts of what to wear on the quarterly round of luncheons, teas, and informal affairs. More Elaborate CONTRASTING with the tailored sport and school dress, the afternoon frock can be more elaborate. Darker skirts and bodices with lace yokes are often seen. They are also styled with combinations of colors. These dresses are worn ten inches from the floor. The coat for afternoon should be semi-fitted, and fur-trimmed but without a belt. Black is always favored. A hat should, be worn at all times. Shoes with medium high heels are worn with sheerer hose. Sunday Night Frock p O R informal affairs the Sunday ^ night frocks are often used. These are usually form fitting and ankle length. So as not to be too formal they have cape or puff sleeves, or at least a suggestion of a sleeve. Sport coats should never be worn with a Sunday night dress. Dress coats or evening Wraps are appropriate. These can be worn with a close fitting hat. The color should be selected to give the wearer the best lines. • o W.A.A.Women Will Tramp Over Hill and Dale on Lake Jaunt Local high schools, Whatcom and Fairhaven, h a v e recently b e en granted by the school board the privilege of holding dances under the supervision of the schools. During each school semester will be held a junior and senior prom and one • Friday matinee dance each month. Last year a previous petition of this nature was brought before the school board and rejected. At that time only two cities in the state of Washington prohibited dancing in their high schools^^The other.city, was Spokane. A formal protest against the action of4 the-'local board was entered immediately by With a trip to the Natural Dry Docks members of the W. _\. A. started out the hiking season for the winter quarter last Saturday afternoon. Miss Lillian George is acting as leader again this quarter and Ruth Neal as hike manager. The hike scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday, January 16, is to Toad Lake. Girls who plan to attend should take the Lake Whatcom car leaving town at 1:30. Girls may either bring a token with which to ride back or they may hike the entire distance into town. Each week a notice is placed on the W. A. A. bulletn board on which girls are urged to sign before Friday noon. Every girl in school is invited to come, whether they have attended previous hikes or not. o WONDER TEAM WINS OVER VANADIS BRAGI tj^^^W^i, Or i g i n a lSk e t c h e s ,AAd doorrfni !

Original sketches by some unknown artist decorated the walls, depicting the theme of the evening. Women's choice dances was one of the most popular modes of entertainment. ManyN bashful youths were to be seen blushing as their beloved awkwardly asked for the "next one." Patrons and patronesses at the event were: President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruck-mick, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bond, Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Masters, Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, Miss Mildred Jewell,_Miss Lucy Kangley, Miss Nora Cummins and^Miss Mildred Tremain.

They were clicking, folks, and don't mistake -it. lied by McBeath; who tossed everything but the scoreboard through the mesh, the Nor-malites played their visitors off theirv feet; and piled up an impressive 37-20 score. K this squad, being groomed by Coach Carver, can improve just a wee bit in some departments; of the great sport/ they should make a great bid for Tri- Normal honors this year. Our personal hunch is that the Wildcats from Ellensburg are the only team that will hinder the Vikings in their drive. , —st. martins tomorrow- After a vain three years' search for something better than an average basketball team the Co-Op leaders have finally made a lucky strike on a group of fellows who may bring' home the bacon this year for the heretofore cellar kings. Seven straight victories and the first half pennant of the intramural basketball race is the record hung up thus far by the booksellers, led by Coach "Curly" Gross. —st. martins tomorrow— The second hfdf of the pennant race opened last night and play will continue for several weeks. Our only hope is that one team, the Kings preferably, will knock the Co-Ops off their perch and make ilhe race a little more interesting. )ut the way things look now the iugs will have little trouble in letting the pack home. \ —st. martins tomorrow— Following the game with St. Martin's, tomorrow evening at the Whatcom gym, the Viking basket* eers will pack their suits and jump over the mountains for a three-game series in the land of sagebrush and jackrabbits. Wednesday night they meet the strong Ellensburg Wildcats. The Wildcats have played strong teams thus far. and will force the Vikings lt;jto their utmost in this game, the first of Tri- Normal competition. T h u r s d ay night the Westerners tangle with the Yakima Junior College. Then on Saturday night comes the second Tri-Normal game of the trip, this with Cheney. It will be a hard trip for the little band of Vikings and they'll be mighty glad to crawl into their little trundle Defls when they get back home. —st. martins tomorrow— And by the way, Itchie Toesys, the world's greatest football predictor, forecasts a victory over the Ranger^ tomorrow night and a win over the Yakima J. C. and Cheney on the trip next week. Also the Junior Varsity will take the P. A. P. quintet in the preliminary game tomorrow night. -^t. martins tomorrow— HERE AND THERE. . . .

The Vikings were never threatened in the game and held a decisive lead except for a few moments in the first quarter when the Gladiators garnered five markers before the hill top marksmen hit their stride. A 20-8 score favored the Vikings at half time. McBeath Scores High Clint McBeath, a former Whatcom and W. S. C. frosh star, was the whole show in the offensive attack of the Carver coched team. He chalked up a total of sixteen points for his evening's efforts. Aiding very materially in the Normal victory was Rork, center, with five markers; Wahl, forward, six points, and Kienast, guard, six points. The beauty of the entire game was the quick breaking of the Vikings on offense and the air-tight nature of their defense when the visiting Parkland boys got their hands on the oval. Exceptional work was done by the trio of guards used by Coach Carver during the course of the melee. Kienast, Johanseson and McNeil very effectively checked the Gladiator guards to the small margin of six points during the game. Vikings Look Good The spectators present at the affair got an eye-full of what real speed is on the basketball court. "Red" Carlson, reputed to be one of the fastest football men in the Northwest and who, single handed, trounced the Viking gridsters this fall, was the shining star of the Gladiator attack. He bagged a total of seven points but incidentally, missed enough shots to defeat two teams." Although he exemplified chain-lightning in basketball shoes, Carlson found it very difficult to bore through the Viking defense. Hergot, Lutheran forward, ran him a close second with six markers. Taking everything into consideration the fans were very well pleased with the Varsity quintet presented by Coach Sam Carver. Plenty of spark, combined with a smooth, determined drive gave the Vikings plenty of color in this, their first intercollegiate game of the season. With McNeil, Campbell, Sherman and Flowers held in reserve, the Vikings should be able to play all their games this season at top speed. The local five will have a real chance to test their strength against the strong St. Martin Rangers tomorrow evening at the Whatcom gym. Reports show that the southern team will give the Vikings a much stiffer battle than did the Lutherans last, week/ Good Season Predicted It can be very heartily said that scarcely a fan left .the gym after the game last week who doesn't predict an outstanding season for the Viking hoopsmen. This Viking outfit has drive, fire, pep and are basketball-minded. In the Lutheran game the visitors stepped out and hung up an early lead, but the Vikings came back fast to roll up an impressive victory. Don't forget that the Vikings engage St. Martins college tomorrow night in a game that promises to hold as much," if not more, action than the last contest staged by the local outfit.' .;';• Line-ups for the Lutheran game: P L C . ....

Bostrom's team, an entrant in the state basketball tournament to be held in Seattle, was furnished with real competition by the Junior Vikings but their last half scoring overcame the Jayvees' six-point lead and gave them the game.

Affirmative Squad Gets Two of Three Votes from Judges at Cheney; Prospects Bright. (By BELVA BALL) Bellingham Normal debate teams were successful in both debates held last Saturday evening. The negative team met Cheney's affirmative team in the auditorium here and won by a unanimous vote of the judges. The affirmative team met Cheney's negative team there and gained two of the three judges votes. The question for both debates was, Resolved, that the United States enter the world court, with the Harding-Hughes reservations." The negative team, composed ot Velma LeMaster, Floid Van Etten, and Ralph Johnson, argued that it is undesirable to enter the court be-caues it is controlled by the League of Nations, which the United States does not wish to join. Emphasis was given to the fact that the League may call for opinions from the court, especially on matters of jurisdiction, and nations who are members of the court would be required to abide by the actions of the League in such cases. The Cheney affirmative team, Philip Hindi, Marvin Shafer, and Orin Kendall, argued that the court has shown its value as a tribunal for justicable settlement of disputes and provides council which can be summoned at any time to hear cases. The judges were: J. M. Robinson of the Deming schools; E. D. Merrimau, of Anacortes; and J. E. Noftsinger, of Mt. Vernon. The affirmative team, Inez Clark, Ethan Allen, and Meryl Bird, with their advisor. Miss Cummins, report having had an interesting debate and an enjoyable trip. Ethan Allen stopped for a short visit on the way home, but the others arrived Sunday evening. They were met by Miss Madden and taken to her liome where they talked over the trip and enjoyed some refreshments. PHILOS MAKE HIT IN MORNING ASSEMBLY The Philomathean Glub was in charge of the assembly this morning. "AH Gummed Up," a satirical comedy by Harry Wagstaff Griddle, was presented, accompanied by a short musical program. The play, which was directed by Miss Lambert, was exceedingly clever and well received: by the audience. The cast is as iollows: George Bartlett, a liver specialist; Theodore Cederberg, Minter, his assistant; Meryl Bird; Henrietta Tremayne, Margaret Black; Geoffrey Tremayne, her husband, John Kerr; Gloria Bartlett, George's wife, Mary Margaret Doyle. Time, the present; scene, Bartlett's consulting room. The musical program consists of a piano solo by Mary Margaret Doyle, and a vocal solo by Joanna Osborne. GIRLS MAY TAKE LdSTtAKEHIKE W. A, A.

It is one of those plays that sends the theatergoer home with a decidedly brighter view of life. The play is carefully directed. The arrangement of scenery, the gorgeous costumes, the detail of settings, the music, all unite to make the play a delightful experience and a happy memory. The Moroni Olsen Players, who appear Saturday evening, March 6, in "Friend Hannah," at the Normal auditorium, are a circuit repertory company consisting of eight permanent members. The company is directed by Moroni Olsen, who studied in one of the leading dramatic schools of the East and spent some years in stocks and as a platform reader of plays.

In last week's "Olympus," weekly newspaper of the Olympia High School, was the first of a series of articles on the different schools of higher education in the state. The general character, requirements, expenses, and the opportunity for part time work will be discussed. This is being done in an effort to encourage the high school graduate in furthering his education. KLIPSUN MANAGEMENT ADOPTS NEW POLICY The Klipsun pictures of the" various organizations of the school "are n o w ^ a d y to be sent to the engravers so that cuts may be taken from them. The management of the an- • nual has adopted a new policy this year, that of holding the pictures back until they are paid for by the clubs. The last possible date for sending the money in for these is Wednesday, March 10. Bert Tidball has been appointed by the Board of Control to assume the duties of Business Manager of the Klipsun. The resignation of- Quentin Roche-fort, former manager, has made this change necessary. We are anxiously awaiting the article written about our own school for we feel that it I t was a glorious victory and will compare favorably with We will welcome students from all other schools. unnaiuiuiuuiuiiiuiiHuiauiiiuiuuuHtuiuiiBaiiuiunnan: Student Opinion HDimnrnnraniiiiiiiuitamiiinHiaimiiiiuiomnimiiniiinii A student opinion appeared in the Column a few weeks ago on "reluctant entrances" to the assembly hall. This topic is rather catchy, has a beautiful sound and undoubtedly was interesting to the reader. Many people are in the habit of leaving the auditorium before the assembly is over. This is all right if they use consideration in so doing, but there is no sense in getting up and leaving before the speaker has finished. Attendance is required in the assemblies, but i t would be much better for the majority of the students if those who indulge in the habit of leaving early were excused from assembly altogether. There are seats in the back of the room for students who must leave early. This does not cause any disturbance. However, when some one gets up in the middle of a row and starts waddling out to the aisle it creates more disorder than when Garibaldi throws a machine gun at a tank. It isn't right. It is absolutely ridiculous to have it go on. Why can't we act like grown ups? Our assemblies are usually worth while and they should not be spoiled by a few who consider it necessary to get to the bread line first. If they can't wait until assembly is over, they had better bring a lunch with them. At the concerts down town, our conduct is fine and orderly. It is impossible to act in the same manner here ? Or do we behave decently when away because we think we have to? Can't we pay as much respect t o the performers in our assemblies as we do to those at the concerts? It makes a very bad impression on the speaker when people start leaving early. Generally he either cuts his speech short or else i t loses most of its appeal. Let us henceforth use consideration. —Nuff Said. There is an opportunity for some idle student t o do some interesting research work in making a study of the number of varieties of business that is transacted among the students during assembly periods. That the assembly hours furnish the only opportunity for us to exchange current gossip with our best friends is unfortunate, for there are realjy some students who go to the assembly to enjoy it and who find educational value in it. It is impossible for these people to get the best out of it when those who feel they would rather discuss the last test questions or similar subjects, persist in doing so instead of listening to what is coming from the platform. We all, as members of the student body, have a part in securing the programs for our entertainment and for furthering our education. It seems hardly fair, for those who are intelligent enough to appreciate these programs are unable to do so because of these undue disturbances. It has become necessary of late for some of the instructors who take roll in various sections to admonish students for their discourteous conduct. Such things sometimes happen in high schools, but should never be heard of in college. Students, remember where you are and act accordingly. —Disturbed Student. Esther Lincoln, of Charleston, Nevada, has enrolled in the Extension department. Eleanor Benewa, Ella Carr and Adabel Keep are enrolled, from Alaska. In her report for her hygiene course Miss Keep tells of a "Health Club" formed in her school. The children are much interested, and so are the parents. Over $80 has been spent for correcting physical defects of members. , Bad teeth seem to be the most common defect. PARTICIPATION IS TEACHERTpNOTE Instructors of T r a i l i n g School Have Great Success in Their Glasses of Student Teaching. Work of exceptional merit is being accomplished by the instructors of the training school in their classes of observation and student teaching. The general purpose of the course is t o develop originality and initiative, and also to give an opportunity to the students of unusual ability. Participation is the keynote w t o the teaching problem. The aim of the plan is to give breadth and variety of experiences to the students who are training for teaching. Each student teacher i s required to teach grade pupils one hour each day, besides an additional hour reserved for the observation period. During the first week of training, which is spent in observation, each student is asked to prepare and present a topic bearing on some class work, as a biographical sketch in history or literature, a description of a place or industry, story, or world news. The topic is given in class be • fore he takes charge of a group of students. This plan creates a feeling of sympathy and good team work, besides developing self-confidence in the teacher, who thereby gains the confidence of the pupils. As different types of activities are suggested during the observation period, the work is developed further. Good illustrations of this are furnished by the eighth grade group of student teachers. The students prepared the topics and references for the class, and later gave their reports with the class. An interesting experiment with the school-room bulletin board is also being carried on this week. After gaining permission from the pupils, the student teachers are taking charge of selecting and posting all the bulletin material. The purpose of this is to create a keener interest on the part of the pupils in providing interesting, up-to-date subject matter for the board t l will alBO stimulate the teaching staff to work out their various every-day problems.

( • • • c - EVERYBODY OUT FOE LAST TILT o r t Pa JOHN FITZGERALD, Sports Editor SOPHS FORGE AHEAD Vikings Play Last Game Against The Panthers By THE HERMIT (Special by leased wire from F. H. News Service.) - Bellingham, Wash. Lester Rhodes and George Benson were pried apart near here today, while engaged in. a hectic argument as t whether "Two Gun Sue," heroine for one of America's famous novelists' books, was a close relative of the "Two Gun Benson" family. The debaters were parted before Benson got in his last rebuttal. ATTENTION, READERS! VDXLNG SPORTORIAL Tonight sees the finish of the official Bellingham Normal 1925-26 basketball season. The curtain descends on the Whatcom court following the game with Seattle College. Preliminary to the big event of the evening is the much looked-forward-to mix which sees the Super-Viking trade baskets with the speedy Concrete five... Dope points to a hair-raising battle when the two quintets come together. When the Vikings swing into action against the highly touted Panthers from the hub city, every student who calls himself a loyal supporter of the White and Blue should be there to aid his team in its combat. If the Viking team gets" 100% support from the student body, it will play a much beter game, and will more likely close the season in a blaze of glory. BACK THE TEAM! / NET CLASSJLANNED Plans Going Ahead for Next Quarter's Tennis Classes; Many Candidates Expected. Harold "Himself" Keeney Coaeh Harold Keeney, debonair Viking dramatist, burst forth with this confidential statement to the B. N. S. Sports Service; just before the paper went to press: "Had not the officials of this institution deemed it necessary that I undergo a vaccination, there is no doubt in my mind, but that the local .basketball squad would have enjoyed an unblemished record this' season." ET TU, BRUTE! GREAT FUTURES Guy Bond and "Wilson Creek" Sullivan, the tennis slickers, have taken a year's option on the tennis courts. Both are promising lads, and with a year's added experience, should easily win a place in the grammar school finals. "MARCEL" HAWKINGS CALLED AT THE MESSENGER OFFICE THIS WEEK, AND REMAINED LONG ENOUGH TO PASS OUT COMPLIMENTS "TO SEVERAL OF THE BUDDING REPORTERS — HAWKINGSV KNOWS HOW TO GET PUBLICITY WE TAKE YOU UP, HANK! When asked about his presidential platform, Bryan Hankins, talkative and diminnitive sports writer, replied: "Somebody beat me to light wines and beer, bat I stand for free use of aU cement tennis courts on the campus. Also, if elected 1*11 see that all Normal students get free milk shakes at Harry's. You can turn me up if I don't." I CONFESSION MADE. MYRON ESTILL ADMITS THAT HE CAN PLAY ANY POSITION, BE IT FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, OR BASEBALL. BUT HE MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT WHEN INTERVIEWED LATE YESTERDAY EVENING: "SAM" AND I HAVEN'T GOT TOGETHER YET ON WHAT POSITION IT IS, BUT I'M STILL YOUNG. ALL I NEED IS TIME." "PARSIMONIOUS" ARESTAD, A RISING YOUNG JOURNALIST WITH THE MESSENGER FORCE, REMAINED AT THE FAIRHAVEN GYM AFTER EVERYONE ELSE HAD 'GONE. ARESTAD WAS WAITING FOR THE THIRD QUARTER. HE KNOWS NOW THAT THE GAME IS PLAYED BY HALVES, NOT QUARTERS. A couple of years ago "Rudy" Reed and "Stick" Stickncy ^ett the farm for a few, days' visit in a small nearby village. While the two children stood by the roadside, taking in the wonders of nature, .an automobile whizzed by. Not having seen a car before, the boys gazed at each other in amazement. While thus gazing, a motorcycle tore past. "Rudy" turned to "Stick" and with a disgusted tone,; said: '.'Would you think a thing like that would have a colt?" Tennis classes will be offered the spring quarter for all those interested in learning the game. The classes will be given two days a week at 8-9-10-11 and 1. At three o'clock, Mrs. Howard, who has had extensive experience in teaching tennis, will hold a class in the technique of tennis and all those students who teach in the morning classes will be required to enroll for the technique class. The class will be made up of only those who have a good knowledge of the game. At 11 o'clock, Mr. Carver will/ teach the advanced class for men and from this class he will, pick the varsity tennis team to represent the school. Practically all of the courts will be available in the afternoons for all students who are not enrolled in the classes. The courts will be repaired and those enrolling will be expected to furnish their own* racquet and one ball. One credit will be given. All those who do not already play tennis well are urged to sign up for this sport since it not only gives exercise aud enjoyment but is a game which can be played no matter where one may be teacliing later. For those who develop a reasonable amount of skill in this game there will be a tournament at the, end of the quarter. BLUE AND WHITE HOOPSTERS DROP GAME TO U. FROSH Frenzied Crowd Sees Locals' Lose Hectic Battle in the Closing Minutes of Pray. RHODES HIGH POINT MAN Carver's Men Lead 17 to 13, But Hit a Shooting Slump; and Are Led at End 24-23. The University of Washington Freshmen nosed out the Normal Vikings by one point, 24 to 23, in a hectic battle staged in the Fairhaven high school gym, last Friday evening, at 7:30, before a howling, frenzied crowd. The yearlings were out to win at any cost and consequently the game was featured by rough playing. Two of the Babes were taken out on personals, and before the game ended a couple more were about to be jerked. The Vikings started off with a spurt and gained a few points lead on their adversary, but the Babes had crept to within one point of the Blue and White when the half ended, the score standing 12 to 11. YEARLINGS GOOD. Notwithstanding the roughness of the Frosh attack the players from Seattle showed, to advantage over the locals. The Vikings did not shoot as accurately as usual but at no time were the Frosh more than four points in the lead^ and at one time Carver's men led by a 17 to 13 score In the last canto the Frosh stalled considerably and play was much slower. Each individual on the Yearling's quintet seemed to be a master of the pivoting art. Farmer "Bill" Tidball created laughter among the spectators, when he dribbled the entire length of the floor and then missed his shot. In the last few minutes of play the Vikings rallied and tried to overcome a four-point lead, 24 to 20. They were unable however to get more than three points before the gun sounded the end of the battle. Rhodes, Viking center, . and Hack, Frosh center, were tied for high point honors, each with 8 markers to his credit. . - The line-up and scoring follows: Normal (23)— Pos. Frosh(24)— Keplinger (7) .... F Snider (6) Odell (5) F Berenson (4) Rhodes (8) C Hack (8) Tidball (1) ........ G Brannon (4) Stickney (1) G......

The game was played in the small gymnasium and brought out a good crowd of spectators. Rivalry was keen from the start, and with both teams well matched, the tilt turned out to be a fast and furious 'melee with the Sophs getting a little the better of the going. The second year hoopsters located the basket with greater consistency than the yearlings, and were never headed throughout the contest. The Frosh, however, made a fighting finish, but the ", odds were too great for victory. The win for the Sophomores gives them a six-point lead in the Kline Cup series, the Frosh having won the First Game 25 to 18. FROSH VICTORIOUS Frosh Classes Take Opening Sophs Lead at Half Time. Game in Kline Cup Series; The Freshmen, in a hard fought battle, won the first game in the Kline cup series with a score of 25 to 18. The Sophs were able to hold the lead until about the last three minutes of play when the guards were unable to check the fast Frosh forwards, Youngbluth and Hndnall. At the end of the first half the score was one point in favor of the upper classmen and they were able to maintain this advantage until the last few minutes of play. The game was rough and fast, many fouls being called on both teams. It was exciting to the spectators since good team work and fast passing were displayed by both teams throughout the game. The line-up follows: Sophs— Pos. Frosh— McCormick F Youngbluth Atkins F Orabill Black E, C Littler Kirby S C _ McOush Slater G Cox Nieman .._ G Lingley Substitutes: Frosh, Hudnall for Crabill. Keferee: Miss Frank. o- SORE ARMS CAUSE OF POSTPONEMENT Tonight tolls the kneU of parting basketball season. On'ftie whole, the season has been a success. It has witnessed victories over our ancient rivals, Cheney, Ellensburg, the Frosh, Seattle College and St. Martin's. Not one of those schools was a bit weak at the hoop game. It has not been a championship season, but that was never expected when there was not one letterman on the .squad. Next year's prospects, however, seem bright, with all of this year's squad in their first year at Bellingham Normal, and some likely looking prospects coming up from this season's second team. succeeded in holding his position, and taking part-time work at Normal.

"Likewise, it is the spirit of the college campus as a whole, a spirit that has grown through pattern andtradition, and is now being supplemented by a sudden boom in growth. The following editorial is meant as a tribute to those who have fashioned the ways of Western throughout the years. PATTERNS OF THEPAST Throughout the past few months we have seen and heard much about what has come to be known as The New Look. Perhaps we have tended to ignore the many good things that have always been andare still an integral part of our college. These things, which have taken a lifetime or two to grow, are thethings which make Western the individual school it is. It is the patterns and traditions of the past, not oftoday, that have made Western an individual among schools. The Collegian has coined the phrase, "theold merges with the new, " and this is the case exactly. For the old has not been replaced by, but rather it is supplemented by, the new. There are many obvious things, like Memory Lane, which summarize theold. For Memory Lane is surely dearer to the student than Rainforest is. is the sentinent and value ofsuch that makes it part of the college, and Rainforest may someday have this appeal, because it is anappeal which comes with age and familiarity. One of the oldest characteristics of Western is its purpose:to produce well-educated teachers. This aim has not changed, for all the innovations on campus likely will continue to be the same even as the college grows. As the college has put this purpose into itscurriculum, its very way of life, certain attitudes and traditions have established themselves and seem tobe here to stay. There are numerous little things, that have taken years to build, on which Western'sindividuality rests. There is the advisor system, the overall atmosphere of friendliness, the A and L series,the green grass, the liberal outlook and many, many other things which distinguish our college from theothers. ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 15 - Page 4 ---------- TOZER'S PRESCRIPTIONS 316 EAST HOLLY BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON HOLLY'S MEN'S SHOP IN THE CENTER OF THE SHOPPING DISTRICT 106 "VEST HOLLY SAVE Cash and Carry DiscountFine Dry Cleaning Expert Repairs and Alterations Free Minor Repairs STUDENT DISCOUNT SuperiorCleaners 1140 State Phone RE 3-1060 Your New Artist Supply Headquarters OIL AND WATERCOLOR SETS Complete Line of Finest Oil and Water Color Brushes 8888888888888888888888S8888COMPLETE SELECTION OF STRATHMORE OIL AND WATERâ€”COLOR PADS Union Printing Co.1421 CORNWALL AVENUE MATERIAL FOR GREATNESS. by STACY TUCKER It took but oneexample of Miss Larsen's excellent command of her voice to put the audience in her grasp. When asong called for a dolce or sweet and soft quality she gave it and a decrease in volume did not provide adecrease in beauty of tone; if anything, her soft tones could be said better than the loud ones, and yetshe still had an excellent dramatic quality to her voice at times. Miss Lars en assumed the character ofher songs and was very convincing in her portrayal of moods. In the Schumann cycle which dealt with the joys of love, she was superb. She portrayed the first flutter of the romantic heart, the excitement of thewedding day, the disclosure of the woman that she is to have a child, and finally the sorrow of deathtouched with the promise of salvation with sincerity and depth that there was a period at the end of thecycle when the audience could but sit in awed silence... before it broke into a prolonged and spiritedapplause. The songs by Schubert were also to be praised, especially, "The Young Nun, " which wasfollowed by a sincere but somewhat less impressive "Ave Maria. " The two arias were fascinatingportrayals of two greatly different heroines... Leonora, from n Trova-tore by Verde, and the young Salomefrom Massenet's Biblical opera, Herohdi. The young Salome declares her love for John the Prophet in a way that is so sweet and innocent and full of promise that one forgets for the time the tragic eventswhich are to follow. The distraught Leonora is another type altogether. We see a scheming and worried woman who has but one thought... to save her lover from Count di Luna. Leonora sililoquoy at midnight is a brief moment of relaxation before the storm of events that is to follow. There is more for this talentedyoung artist to accomplish... but there is the material for greatness here. ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 15 - Page 5 ---------- Hiking and Swimming From the hot blue to tne cold green went the hikers. Leaving a stuffy Bellinghambehind wit! dawn, the summer hikers set out early for their first crack at the slopes of snow. The packsand pick were part of the outfit, as rigorous climbers began to condition for the climb up Baker whicl willclimax the summer's hiking efforts. Here they made their strenuous way up the slopes, now and thentossing a snowball at the pack ahead. As the sun rose, the day became warmer and soon they sat down among tall pine trees to eat a picnic lunch. Then back to the climb, and finally, back to Bellingham. Asall who went will testify, in spite of sore muscles, the da gt; was a success The Collegian has decidedto reverse its description of Lakewood as a place of "blue and green seclusion" after seeing this piece ofcollege-owned beach last weekend. We should now call it a colorful, active place to go if one is lookingfor a crowd to join. The scene over the weekend was one of man-type animals in cut-off yachting pants,women in swim suits and dresses, children in their underpanties and older men in shirtsleeves andsuntans. There were hot dogs roasting over the grill, and bottles of beer cooling in the water, juicy redslices of watermelon, sunglasses, thongs and the yelling and splashing of students out for a good time in the lake. Included as a convenience is an almost adequate parking place while the other facilities areexcellent, from the fire-place-and-all-cabin to the little blue paddle boat. The swimming area is sandy andslopes gradually, while a dock and diving board are available for romping, diving, and sun-tanning. As fora place to dress, be sure to look closely at the faded signs on the dressing rooms. Otherwise you mayfind yourself in for a surprise. ---------- Collegian - 1960 July 15 - Page 6 ---------- MEWS BRliFS * * * * TENTATIVE SUMMER FILM SCHEDULE: Movies will be shown at seven o clock Sunday evenings in the College Auditorium.
