On Wednesday, November 27, between 8 a. m. and 4 p.m. it is expected that over 800 WWC'ers will cast their votes for the 'candidates they think best fitted for posts on the Board of Control.' Thrice each year the Board of Control goes to the expense of having two voting machines brought up here for the use of the students. The main idea behind all this is convenience for the student. Let us all show that we at least appreciate this service by VOTING. It takes only a minute, honestly. In the first issue of the WWCollegian after the election, the one issued Friday, November 29, there will be printed a complete list of all students who did not take enough interest in their school affairs to vote. A threat? No, just a reminder to VOTE on WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1940. Best question that comes to our minds is, Why did they schedule Parents day for the Morning After HOMECOMING?

Homecoming Recalls to Mind Graduates Who Helped Former Fetes Succeed Maybe you grads will remember some of these people of yesteryear who helped make HOMECOMINGS whatever they were when you were here: In 1924 Paul Waslike and Ira Loree were on one of the committees. Mrs. Thelda Jensen Marth traveled the furthest to attend HOMECOMING in 1925. She came from Chehalis. Pauline Camp represented the class of 1900 that year. The present Mount Baker high school coach, Dan Bieghle, was a stellar varsity guard against Cheney Normal in 1926. Swede Anderson, Bellingham high football mentor, played a great game at end for the Vikings during thfe *28 HOMECOM- gt;ING celebration. Clarence Thue was a leader in the HOMECOMING activities of the first depression year, 1929. In '31 Lillian Lux was in charge of the traditional weird dance; Roy Abbott captained the football team. Curly Gross and Art Bagley were in the .limelight of the 1932 HOMECOMING/ Ladd Shangle and Mon Qr- New Sidewalk Laid On Campus Steam Shovel All Finished With Excavation; Concrete Poured in Warm Weather Further developments ' in the campus improvements include a new cement sidewalk to be laid on the north side of Normal drive between High street and the PE building. The new sidewalk will be along the site of the former hill across from the PE building. The steam shovel which has been excavating on the south end of the new athletic field has completed its work and has been removed. Cement curbing is now to be placed along the edge of the new track, making it ready for the laying of the cinders, i Because of the cold weather, no concrete has been poured for the new Training school building. At present the workmen are leveling the concrete piling while awaiting warmer weather so that the concrete may be poured. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy for the fall quarter, 1941. loff helped make the HOMECOMING of 1935 a success while in 1936 Kenneth Selander, this year's UW HOMECOMING chairman, generated PEP at the rally. Harold Nelson, later ASB prexy, was in charge of HOMECOMING in 1937; the band received new uniforms this year. Nineteen thirty-eight saw Queen Sigrid I, in the person of Betty Shay, crowned during the HOMECOMING celebration. General Chairman Alberg was instrumental in starting the Sigrid dynasty that year. Last year saw another Queen Sigrid ascend the throne, Margo Fuller. This year finds another Sigrid being downed; may the Sigrid dynas-' ty continue on and on and on. » Rally to Start At Seven; | Police Escort Queens, Princesses, Band,'Head Serpentine Through Business District of Bellingham: Under the leadership".. ofj yell king Jim Goodrich, the "annual Homecoming pep rally will start at 7 tonight in front of Edens'; hall.

Saturday's football game and the queen coronation ceremony are„to be preceded by a lunclieon at Edens hall where students and grads will rub elbows and talk over the prospects for the day.

Reading left to right, they are: Freshmen princess, Virginia Davies; Junior princess, Verajean Crossett; Queen Sigrid II, Lucille Thun; Junior princess, Doris Stevenson; Sophomore princess, Ruth Hill. 'Bachelor Born' Rehearsals Progress; Three Nightly Performances Rehearsals are progressing steadily on the fall quarter play production, "Bachelor Born," to be presented by the division of drama in penthouse style in the Edens Hall Blue room on November 28, 29, and 30. The play, a comedy based on the loves and grievances of a group of English schoolboys at the Marble-down school lor boys, originally opened in London in November of 1936 and enjoyed an English run of The division of drama believes that WWC students will be interested in a faithful cross-section of English school life. Headmasters gowned in Oxford robes come and go in the scene; boys get" in and out of scraps and are disciplined.

BURNET.. ..Adviser oblto^laU... This Saturday's fracas with the Savages is the last game of the 1940 pigskin season, and do YOU plan to attend? This was a disappointing football season for Western Washington college as far as student attendance went. But, to let bygones be bywents and to look to the future, lets have 100 per cent attendance tomorrow. And that goes for the faculty, too After all, as long as football remains an intregal part of college life, it should have the same compulsory attendance regulations as assemblies or classes. Besides all that, a football game is a great deal more interesting than some assemblies we've attended. And while we're on the same line, this is a special plea to all those students who live in Bellingham or in the near vicinity like Marietta. Urge your parents to come to the ball game. Most of them go to high school games, and the prep school affairs can't hold a candle to the college game for thrills and chills. The college blocking is better, the tackling is harder, the players better coacjied. The game is more wide-open with well-executed plays clicking with the precision of clockwork. Red Reese has a fine club, but we do think Lap has the outfit to whip the Savages. So once again, be an ambassador for WWC and encourage everybody you know to witness the game and root for the Vikings. Last Friday we witnessed an Oregon high school band cheer and play for the Vikings as they walloped Pacific university. Was sort of a thrill to hear the strains of Alma Mater across the field, even though 300 miles from our own backyard. And now for the college, we'd like to express our appreciation to the Sherwood high band and to their director, J. C. Sanpietro, for the gracious way in which they assisted Western Washington college to outshine the Pacific rooting section in spirit and enthusiasm. Funniest part of it was, Sanpietro, the director, is a Pacific grad. Tomorrow, more high school bands will provide entertainment and music for the patrons at the game. The Mount Baker, Sumas-Nooksack, and Ferndale bands will be on deck to assist Don Bushell's WWC marching aggregation. It's darn good of them, and we feel the college appreciates it as we do. rH'Mm-f Friday and Saturday Students 25c Plus Tax NOW SHOWING TYRONE POWER, LINDA DARNELL, BASIL RATHBONE in 'THE MARK OF ZORRO" a and JOHN BARRYMORE in THE GREAT PROFILE a AMERICAN a 25c Saturday 'Til 5 21c Sunday 'Til 3 Friday, Saturday and Sunday EDWARD G.

With Old Man Winter poking his frost-bitten nose into every nook and cranny, we find the typical college girl preparing for the cold, wintry blasts. For the Ears The styles for the college lassies have varied little in the* past months. Last year many of the "campus cuties" were seen sporting ear muffs. This winter it's the long "nevrer combed looking" bob that keeps their ears cozy. Along with the cold seasons there Don't Quote 7)1 HOMECOMING, with all of its gaiety and celebration, is here again. To the freshmen this is something new, but the sophomores and upper-classmen have already participated in previous celebrations. Traditional events will be the bonfire rally and dance this evening (not to mention the assembly this morning) and the game and dance Saturday. Then, Sunday, the Freshmen and their parents will have the day for a general "get together" with the faculty. But to each individual there is some feature which will be "special."

Frank Tucker, HOMECOMING Chairman PROPHET BOND Many Big Frosh Bonfires Featured In Past Years Deep in th files of a glorious past, the 16. other HOMECOMINGS were born, lived, and slipped into oblivion. Prior to HOMECOMING as we know it, the Normal had an annual anniversary celebration in April. Then on: November 22, 1924—Bellingham Normal had its first HOMECOMING. The program included a bonfire, dinner, dance, and party. The football game was with Cheney, a team that averaged 185 pounds. 1925—Added to last year's schedule is a big serpentine through town. A bigger fire than in 1924 was ignited. 1926—Henry Durr, chairman of the bonfire committee said that this year would see the biggest fire yet. 1927—The President of the freshman class promised a bigger than ever bonfire. 1928—Cheney won this HOMECOMING game. 'Nuff said, except that a bigger bonfire was promised by the president of the freshman class. (It must have been a forest fire.) 1929—Despite the financial clouds and a very real rain,'this year hit a new high for spirit. Dr. Bond predicted, accurately, a win in the football game and the freshman chief predicted the biggest bonfire in history. 1930_The freshman president said that this year's bonfire would make history. Cheney won the game, 19-0. 1931—Halloween was the date of this HOMECOMING; so the dance featured the "Skeleton kip" and "Tombstone soup" (cider). Feeling in the need of protection, the HOMECOMING chairman wore a moustache. Oh, yes, the freshman pres . game result, 6-0, Ellensburg. 1932—An assembly was held at the Mount Baker theater. "Mickey Clark, frosh prexy, states: "This year's HOMECOMING bonfire is going to be the biggest and hottest this school has ever had the opportunity to warm its feet at." 1933—Cheney won again, but the frosh promised the biggest bonfire. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch's first year here. 1934—KVOS broadcast a HOMECOMING edition. Somebody shot off a bomb to start the "biggest bonfire." Daniels hall won won the house display contest. 1935—The president of the freshman class promised to make this year's bonfire the biggest. The Viks beat Ellensburg, 8-0. Hurrah. 1936—We lost to Cheney again. Chairman Hovik promised "a greater and more colossal pyrotechnical exhibition . . . a real up and coming conflagration." The new Physical Education building was dedicated this year. 1937—Now it is Western Washington college that is having the HOMECOMING. Yeah, the frosh predicted a big fire. We beat the Wildcats again, 9-0. 1938_We beat Cheney.7 to 0 the first time in 11 years. HOMECOMING had a queen for the first time. Yup, the biggest bonfire was predicted. This year the football team had an undefeated, untied season. Betty Shay was crowned Queen Sigrid I by Governor Clarence D. Martin. 1939—Rain!! An extremely hard rainstorm didn't keep Murray Healy and his helpers from having a remarkably successful HOMECOMING. Margo Fuller, chosen Queen Sigrid II, was crowned and the gubernatorial kiss was bestowed on her by Governor Martin. 1940—Someone can judge the size of this years bonfire for next year's Collegian. DR. E. A. BOND Bond Predicts Vik Victory "I predict a low score. I think the score will come late in the game and will be in our favor," is the prediction of Dr. E. A. Bond, college mathematics instructor,- as to the result of the WWC HOMECOMING football game against the Cheney Savages. Grand High Mogul of WWC Predicters, Dr. Bond works out his prediction with math-ematic precision. Thus, he says, the PLC wins from both Bellingham and Cheney, plus the fact that our team played the PLC game away from home, plus a liberal dose of HOMECOMING spirit in WWC's favor, equals a fairly even match, with the nod in Bellingham's direction. Asked about his career of Homecoming- score-predicting, Dr. Bond gave a characteristic chuckle and admitted to "oh, twenty years at least! And called it nearly every time, too!" He added: "Our team has seldom lost a HOMECOMING game. I plead for a large attendance and splendid support of our team." Takes Leave Soon Leaving Bellingham December 20 on a quarter's leave of absence, Dr. Bond plans to spend the Christmas holidays in Richmond, Virginia, with his daughter and other members of the family. From there he will drive through Florida to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the convention of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, on December 30 and January 1. New York City will be his home through January and part of February, for he plans to work there on the 1941 yearbook of the NCTM, also spending some time at Millersville, Pennsylvania, in conference with the president of the Council. He will be back in Bellingham by March 30, ready to resume his teaching duties Spring quarter.

I can't believe it!" when she learned she was to be Queen Sigrid III. While she was regaining her poise after the excitement, we were noticing that Queen Sigrid is a beauty of striking color contrasts. Her black hair, brushed back to reveal a perfect widow's peak, accents her lovely clear white skin. The first detail that one notices when looking at her royal highness are her clear blue-gray eyes, for they too are a contrast to her beautiful dark hair. Lucie has a personality that sparkles and an even disposition that is blessed by her roommates. They all will tell you that she is a marvelous person to live with. Though they will tell you confidentially that she does get excited very easily. Queen Sigrid is of about average height, 5 feet 5 inches, to be exact, and she looks especially beautiful in black. Accenting her black clothes she wears a deep-rose nail polish on her long, perfectly cared-for fingernails, which incidentally are the regal pride and joy. By the time we had noticed all these things about her, the new HOMECOMING queen had regained her composure and flashing her lovely smile, began to answer our many curious questions. Concerning her likes and dislikes in food, her royal highness said that she really gets enthusiastic about Italian spaghetti. But if someone mentions mushrooms to Queen Sigrid, he will receive a royal glance of disapproval. Besides spaghetti, she also loves dancing, and dance music. Her favorite band is Kay Kyser's, and she'll listen to a recording of "111 Never Smile Again," by the hour. When asked her home town, Lucille said, "Underwood. And please don't ask where it is,? she pleaded. So for the benefit of those who wish to stay in the royal good graces it may be added that Underwood is a small town along the Columbia river.

PrQay,:r Nj^rfte,", ;f 5 t ' 1940 f ASB Leader Extends Welcome Presenting Our President FRANK SHIERS SAYS PREXY FRANK Another year has rolled around, and it is again time to welcome back our old grads. When they arrive, they will find a much changed campus, but the same spirit that was theirs when they were students at this school. Let us demonstrate this spirit by working together to make this the most successful HOMECOMING that there has ever been. Do everything possible to make the grads feel at home, for, after all, this is their home. When our team goes on the field, we will be pulling for them to win. But win, lose, or draw, it still will be our team anC we will be proud of whatever the outcome. I am sure that the grads will see that WWC still is producing the same brand of hard-fighting, fair-playing teams that it always has produced. HOMECOMING no doubt is the most exciting time of the whole school year. The HOMECOMING dance to be held in the big gym probably is the biggest that will be held this season. ' Prank Tucker, HOMECOMING chairman, and his committees have worked hard to make this event a success, and it is only fair that they get 100 per cent cooperation from the student body. So, come one, come all! Grads and students alike! Be prepared to have a good time. Be prepared to do your share. Be prepared for something unusual. No one will be disappointed. Carver Thinclads Get New Oval Thinclads of WWC will have a new cinder path to break the conference records on next spring. This new track located behind the PE building, rapidly is nearing completion. "We hope that the work will be finished for our first track meet in the spring with the College of Puget Sound," stated Sam Carver, track mentor. "The only other meet to be held there will be a triangular meet with St. Martins and Ellens-burg." The new track is a great improvement over the old one although both are the same size, each having a 220 yard straight away and a quarter mile oval. On the new track, the 220 yard straight away curves into the oval while on the old track the straight away did not. This is a distinct advantage to the runners in the 440 and longer dashes, according to Mr. Carver, because it gives them a longer start before they take the first run. The seating arrangement for spectators is yet indefinite. It is hoped however that permanent cement bleacher seats will be erected. For the time being there will be temporary seats provided.

Many a homecoming grad may ask that surprised question as he sees the change in Waldo field, once the scene of Viking athletic triumphs, now the site of the new Training school building. Named after Dwight B. Waldo, president of the Bellingham Normal from 1922-23, Waldo field was dedicated on Friday, November 16, 1923, in conjunction with the annual football game against Ellensburg Normal. Now, after years of use, the grandstand, cinder track, and turf are gone, and in their place are piledrivers, churned-up earth, and a crew of busy workmen. Work on the new Training school, which was begun in September, is steadily going forward. The foundation of concrete pilings has been driven, and it is expected that the steel structure will be completed by March. The whole building will be finished by October, 1941. So, after all, old Waldo field will be the scene of a new triumph—a Training school building which is an ambition realized. Hill? What Hill? Another step toward beautifying the WWC campus has been completed by the removal of the knoll between the Library and the PE building. The sidewalk, which has been covered with tons of mud and dirt during this procedure, is now cleared and it is no longer necessary for students to wade through mire while walking between classes. The base of Sunset hill and the College inn are now visible; the PE building at last has become a real part of the immediate campus. The back of the Library, believed by many to be more beautiful than the front, can now be seen and appreciated. Part of this new tract of land will be developed into a playground to be used by the Campus school, while the remainder will be landscaped; grass will be sown in the spring.

LUNCHES Fountain Service WILLIAM WADE HAGGARD President Comments On Campus Changes Since early July the campus has resounded with the noise of blasting, the steam shovel, and the pile driver. Back of these visible changes now going forward has been considerable planning which started with the preparation of the budget for this biennium more than two years ago. Participating in all of this planning have been officials at Olympia, members of the legislature, trustees, faculty, and two presidents of the College. The campus improvements now being made are truly a cooperative enterprise. The two chief objectives of these activities are beaut tification of the campus and the provision for a modern training school building. The realization of the first objective already is evident. The purchase of the properties between the library and the physical education buildings and the levelling of the hill on that property cost approximately $41,000.00, but it is generally conceded that a larger expenditure would have been justified in order to achieve this beautification of the campus. It is expected that grass will be growing on this particular area at an early date. The realization of the second objective, the training school building on the best available site, necessitated the dismantling of the grandstand and the removal of the track to the new athletic field. The construction of the foundation of the new training school building is now in progress. The building should be completed by next autumn. It will be an A building and will harmonize with the library and the physical education buildings. Its interior features will represent the most modern planning in training school buildings. W. W.

Children Assist Last Sunday morning at 9 o'clock, Dr. Jack C. Cotton and his two children, Carol and Robert, presented their fifth radio reading of the Bellingham Herald comics. Said Dr. Cotton, "The reception accorded my efforts by children and parents alike has been most gratifying." Dr. Cotton revealed that one retired school teacher had written to him saying: " . . . So at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning, October the thirteenth, I tuned in with a decidedly critical attitude. Not only did the half-hour pass most entertainingly, but I felt that I had undergone a wholesome education in the art of reading the funny paper to young children. In Dr; Cotton's pleasant, easy, conversational manner, he furnished a background of explanatory information, constantly drawing on his children's experiences, that must have proved most stimulating to many adult listeners who have droned through that particular childhood interest or demand." Minister Likes It A minister wrote: "I want you to know how much I am interested in your Sunday morning radio program. This is certainly an original idea, and it seems to me that it holds great possibilities of development." To the question, "Are the funnies really educational?" Dr. Cotton replied, "That's really a silly question. Anything—a hunk of mud, a feather, a picture of bombs falling on England—can be highly educational, even to young children, if properly interpreted." He continued, "The job we need to do here at the college, and do far better than we are doing, is to train thinking, understanding teachers who can interpret objects and events which make up most of the life we live." Dr. Jack C. Cotton and his children, Bobbie and Carol, read the funnies every Sunday morning at 9 o'clock over station KVOS. Dr. Cotton, a fellow of the American Speech Correction association, has developed speech laboratories at Western Washington without parallel in any other teachers' college in the country. Viking Vifctles' Feat of'25 "Viking Vittles," Western college's first HOMECOMING luncheon, was held on Saturday, November 25, 1925, in Edens hall and the school cafeteria. The luncheon was sponsored by the Weekly Messenger, predecessor of the WWColleg-ian. Tags in the form of tickets were sold to the students to create inter - ; est in the affair. Because of the large number attending, the school cafeteria was opened to accommodate part of the crowd of 500. The program, given by the Thespian, Philo, and Sourdough clubs, was presented in the cafeteria and Edens hall* to the equally divided number of guests. The luncheon idea met with such approval that it has been a prominent feature of all subsequent HOMECOMINGS, according to Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publications adviser, who helped to sponsor the 1925 affair. ACE CpNSIDERS NEWLY ORGANIZED COMMITTEE Discussion or the newly-organized Home-School Co-Operation committee was the feature of the regular ACE meeting in the Edens hall club room Thursday evening. This committee has been organized by the national ACE. Its purpose will be to conduct a research on current home-school problems, among them parents' reaction to report cards. AWAKENING 'Twas early in the morning, As soft colors painted the sky, And the mist, a dew-covered ribbon, Was left in the sun to dry. A boat lay in the harbor, . Twas sleeping like a pup— Til the foghorns sounded warning That the sun was coming up. Then out to sea it bounded As it hurried to greet the sun And it trembled in its pleasure, "Oh, now we can start our run." The city watched them, smiling, As the two went on their way; Then settled down to business And the routine of the day. —Betty Benson.

The changing of the association's name is in accord with progressive colleges and helps to make the group outstanding on the Pacific coast. Wesley Students Take Retreat With the purpose of gaining a better spiritual understanding and planning for the betterment of the organization, nine WWC student members of the Wesley Foundation of the Garden Street Methodist church went on a retreat last weekend.

The Armistice day vacation afforded surplus time for thought, and men of the gridiron received a thorough going over the coals for their supposed mis- °Medals for displaying on A - l brand of fickleness should be awarded sports fans. When a halfback is widropen HI the f l a t and a wet, soggy ball slips through J I B hands for an incomplete forward, he's a bum and should be jerked. On the next play, with boos still ringing from the stands, the some halfback slides off tackle and races 35 yards for a touchdown; result, the fans go wild and can't manufacture words of praise lavish enough to describe the daring runner who half a minute previous was a bum. • The Winco has piled up a very impressive string of victories over inter-conference teams.

Tomorrow afternoon, Battersby field will be the scene of one act of WWC's great four-act circus, more commonly known as HOMECOMING. Highlighting the main event of the year will be a gridiron tussle between our local Blue and White Vikings and a Cheney Savage juggernaut. Despite the fact that this is the last gridiron classic for the men of Lappenbusch this season, and that it is the HOMECOMING game, let's go out and support the fella's simply because they belong to us and are our football team. Pulling on Viking moleskins for the last time will be Don Bell, fleet-footed end, who incidentally has played all season with a trick knee that would keep most athletes on the bench; Dick Dombroski, former Aberdeen Bobcat, backfield man, and Ralph Nurmi, hard-charging guard. Finally, good-bye and good luck to those whose football accomplishments will soon be history. Hello and good luck to the Savages (they'll need it) and greetings to a large WWC rooting section.

Left End Vic Kanzler — Senior, hails from Ritzville, Wash., is 24 years old, six feet tall without his cleats and weighs in the neighborhood of 185 pounds. A sensational pass receiver. Left Tackle Dick Meyers — 235 pound senior who hails from Spokane. In on every tackle, kingpin of the Savage line. A good bet for all-conference. Left Guard Earl Knuth — Stocky submariner from Spokane, leads all blocking assignments. Virtually assured of an all-conference berth. He is a junior. Center Ray Satterlee — Versatile sophomore, is over six' feet tall, weighs 235 pounds. All-conference last year. Kicks off for the Savages, does most of the punting. Last year he set record for conversions. Right Guard Walt Holmes—Hails from Prosser, Wash., weighs 210 pounds and is almost six feet tall. Built on the order of Man Mountain Dean. A standout in the Cheney line all season. Right Tackle Bill Donner—Another Spokane boy, is only 18 years old and weighs 200 pounds. Possessing speed and keen football sense, Bill is the outstanding freshman on the squad. Right End Bob Tosch—Cashmere boy. Perfect build for an end, weighing 190 pounds and being six feet, one inch, in height. Very adept at breaking in and piling up the interference before it can get underway. He is 20 years old and a sophomore. Quarterback Brennan MacFarland —Cheney high grad who is playing his last year for the Red and White. Is five feet, eleven inches, tall, just old enough to vote and weighs 182 pounds. The deadliest blocker on the squad. Left Half Bobby Knowles—-Slim, blond headed, captain of the Savages. Weighs only 157 pounds but is a will-of-the-wisp runner. A real triple threat halfback. Right Half Bob Gilmore—Loose-jointed sophomore from Yakima, shares the tail back position with Sammy Tortorelli. Well over six feet, weighing 182 pounds, this 18- year-old boy is a deceptive ball packer and excellent passer. Fullback Ed Reynolds — An outstanding end last year when only a freshman, shifted to fullback to fill an emergency, the big 190-pound socker has developed into a line plunger par-excellence.

Administrators argue that Western is a business that must be competitive with public institutions across the country in order to besuccessful. Maintaining competitiveness requires funding, they say, for faculty pay raises, anadditional 500 students, upgrading technology, localizing financial aid and tuition levels and increasingthe amount of financial aid with any increase of tuition. Gov. Gary Locke said he agrees funding foreducation is important and backed up his approval in his budget proposal by giving higher education an increase of 13-percent more than the current bienni-um's allocation. "Our job is to hold onto those gains and help the governor be the higher-education governor he wants to be," said Al Froderberg, vicepresident for external affairs at Western. Salary increases for faculty Although Locke proposed a 2-percent increase in faculty salaries, Western administrators, faculty and students say that isn't enoughto keep up with corn- See Funding, page 3 Woodring dean leaving Western By Mia Penta The WesternFront After 15 years at Western, Larry Marrs is exchanging the title of Western's Dean of WoodringCollege of Education for that of executive director of a seven-institution consortium for north Snohomish,Skagit and Island counties. In 1997, the Higher Education Coordinating Board, which oversees thestate's education system, was directed to create a plan for the anticipated rise in the number of studentsseeking higher-education programs. By 2005, north Snohomish, Skagit and Island counties will havean estimated 4,000 new full-time students. By 2020, the number of students is expected to be more than9,000. The consortium includes Western, the University of Washington, Central Washington University,Washington State Front/Cindy Nunley Woodring College of Education Dean Larry Marrs is retiring.University, Skagit Valley College and Edmonds and Everett community colleges. "It's an opportunity to bring together a whole group of institutions to serve the community," Marrs said. He said his role asexecutive director will be to coordinate and direct a variety of programs for the students in the area. Some ideas for programs include distance education, technology-supported education and use of the Internetto deliver courses, he said. Marrs has also been in contact with the community colleges looking to teach night courses. He credits his experience with Woodring's off-campus programs in Seattle, Everett,Oak Harbor, Silverdale and Tacoma as part of the reason he was asked to fill the position. "(Woodring) isthe largest provider we have in the state in developing programs to meet community needs," Marrs said.Marrs will remain in the area but will move to an office on Chestnut Street. Friday will be his final day asdean. "They are supposed to be offering classes next fall," Marrs said of his new job. "It's important forme to be doing work as soon as possible." Because Woodring's faculty is integrated throughout thecampus, Marrs' advice to the future dean includes continuing communication with the rest of thecollege. "Collaboration with colleagues throughout the university is important for developing higher-education programs," Marrs said. He also urged the new dean to continue preparation for the upcomingvisit from an accreditation board that put the college on a two-year probation for organization problemswithin the program and a lack of diversity with students and faculty. "Stay on top of that," Marrs said."Even though I'm positive (Woodring) will pass with flying colors." He said he hoped Woodring's off-campus extended programs would continue.to be committed to assuring the highest quality programs.Don Robinson of Woodring's Admissions Office said finding a new dean could take a long time. Right now the search is for a temporary dean. Robinson said the permanent dean isn't scheduled to take officeuntil the fall of 2001. "(Marrs) has been here a long time; he's done a good job and we're going to have aheck of a time to find someone to replace him," Robinson said. "He is going to a very important positionâ€” the cutting edge of what's going to happen to higher education in the future." Western's campussafe despite reports Part I of II By Lisa Curdy The Western Front University Police reported 189 crimeslast year â€” 178 of those involving theft or burglary â€” making Western's campus one of the safest inthe state. Though Western may be more sheltered from crime, only nine of the 12 U.R positions allowedby the budget are filled. "If you think holistically of the university as a community of 11,000 people atpeak hour, we handle it just like you would a city," said James Shaw, chief of U.R "The only difference is everyone goes home at the end of the day, so we're responsible for a lot more than maybe what you're used to in your own town." A void three officers wide may seem small, Shaw said, but three officers forevery 2,000 people are needed to ensure adequate coverage and maximum safety. Western now hasthree police officers per 3,840 students. This means campus police, who enforce state and local laws,may have officer shortages during shifts. "Sometimes we're as low as one officer on duty â€” but, ofcourse, we're active liaisons with the Bellingham Police Department â€” we can get assistance or assistthem," Shaw said. The officer deficit will decrease in coming months. Two officers â€” one of whom wasa greencoat â€” will graduate from police academy in the spring to join the fully-commissionedpolice force. The department is actively seeking to fill the third, open position. Public SafetyAssistants, or greencoats, have patrolled Western for at least 20 years, See Police, page 5 ---------- Western Front - 1999 January 26 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEJVS January 26, 1999 Campus Police Jan. 22, 11:08 a.m.: A parkingpermit was reported stolen from a Western student's vehicle lot 15R.

"It's nice to get a lot of attention," Western environmental chemist Devon Cancilla said about his current publication inEnvironmental Science Technology, a peer-reviewed journal. After seven years of researchingairplane de-icers, their environmental effects, and six months of waiting, Cancilla and two otherswere published. "It's amazing how much publicity a two-page report can get," he said. "What we didwas we showed for the first time that an extensive amount of de-icer was released into the environment," Cancilla said. "We were able to show that significant amounts of materials were having environmentalimpacts." The guidelines of the study were based on the glycols found in de-icers. "Science takes along time. It doesn't just happen overnight," he added. He said he is continuing to work on theenvironmental impact of the released de-icers. "We have to show it's in the environment and not just inthe labs," Cancilla said. Many of his students are working on those studies. Besides doing extensive research, Cancilla teaches environmental chemistry, toxicology Front/Tim Klein Devon Cancillareceived attention from international media for his research on airplane de-icers. and disturbances. "He isvery professional and smart," Western senior Chris Bellona said. "He has a weird way of teaching, but itdoes the trick. He lets students do stuff for themselves and learn from their mistakes." "He tried to giveus an idea of some things we would encounter in a real laboratory," Western senior Miranda Logan said. "He made it realistic. People would come in and audit us." Looking back on his college days, Cancillasaid he thinks students at Western are fortunate. "I was surprised at the availability of faculty atWestern," he said. "Students don't always take advantage of that." Bellona admits he didn't visitCancilla often during office hours. "If I have the chance to take another class from him, I would probablyvisit him more often," Bellona said. Cancilla said he enjoys working and doing things with students; heconsiders himself approachable and is happy to be accessible to his students. He earned hisundergraduate and masters degrees from the University of Iowa, and got his Ph.D. from the University of California-Los Angeles. Science is not a new interest for Cancilla; he said he has enjoyed studying theenvironment since he was a little kid. "I realized that the chemical world was important," Cancilla said."Everything is based on some type of chemistry." Outside of research and teaching, Cancilla spendshis time with his two children. "My kids are my hobbies â€” whatever I do involves my kids," Cancillasaid. Cancilla takes advantage of Western's on-campus daycare. He said he enjoys it because they are near him and are able to participate in activities with him. He came to Western from Canada where he had been doing studies for Environment Canada, the equivalent of the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States. Cancilla said he plans continue his studies on the environmental impacts of de-icers. "The environmental impacts are difficult to link to de-icers. We are continuing a series of tests,"Cancilla said. "It's a significant environmental question," Cancilla said. "Is it the number-one issue?Probably not." It is important to note how airports deal with it, though, he said. "Seven years havebeen lost where something could have been done," Cancilla said. He said de-icers are a serious threatto some fish, but what is pushed to the front for attention, leaves behind something else that needsattention also. go o a. go 5 HI ui *gt;e 2 ut Jeopardy Winter - Summer Quarters 1999 To Apply:Submit Resume and Letter of Intent by January 29, 1999, 5 p.m. to Chair of Student Publications, CH213.

Western was the first school toimplement the $10 Student Technology Fee. Since then, Washington State University and University ofWashington have adopted a $40-per-quarter fee, and Central Washington University charges $25 perquarter to support technology.

The proposal brings thebenefit package to the level of inflation. Localization of financial aid Administrators argue that Western'stuition should be handed back to Western students. When students pay tuition, a portion of it goesinto a state-need pot for financial aid. The money is distributed to the neediest college students in thestate first, whether they are community college students or private college students. "We don't think it is fair that our students should put their money into a state need grant pot and get back less than theycontributed," Maintaining a balance between tuition increases and financial aid "If we increase tuition, ithas to be with the understanding that financial aid goes along with that increase," Morse said. The state provides 24 cents of financial aid in the form of state need grants for every dollar of tuition.Administrators ask that this support be maintained regardless of who sets tuition, Froderberg said."Just because tuition-setting may be passed from Olympia to the campuses is no reason for statesupport to decrease," Froderberg said. "We need to have financial aid that gives everyone theopportunity to go to school," Toyer said. He added that if students have to pay more tuition, somestudents will find the cost unaffordable. Initiative 601, which was passed by voters in 1993, capsspending for education and other state-funded organizations. "Everyone is squeezed by 601,"Froderberg said. "What is peculiar they may not be able to afford it.' Lobbying for state supportLobbying for strong state support has always been on the agenda of administrators and studentswho work with the legislature. However, with the possibility of local tuition-setting control, students and administrators said they are concerned that the state may become less accountable for fundingpublic institutions than they have been in the past. Historically, the state has covered about two-thirdsof the cost of public four-year institutions, and students have covered the remainder, Morse said. "Theability of states to support institutions is decreasing," however because of spending limitations put onhigher education under Initiative 601, she said. "601 is a real issue that needs to be taken on, and thereis not much support for taking that on," Morse said, adding that student involvement could make adifference.

Having 12officers will increase the coverage ratio to one officer per 958 students. To further increase protection,University Police are seeking a federal grant from the Department of Justice's Community OrientedPolicing program. The grant request would provide a supplement of $25,000 per year for three years."Most universities have a high degree of protection. You see the trends â€” that university safety isbecoming forefront," Shaw said. The grant would allow Western two additional campus police positions.University Police will learn the outcome of the grant request in a few months. Western may be shortcampus police, but the positions for Public Safety Assistants are filled. The 22 greencoats, who work in conjunction with University Police, roam the campus all hours. Receiving 20 hours of training and athorough background check, greencoats help keep Western safe and are beneficial for both Western and campus police. Greencoats have helped protect Western for at least 20 years, Shaw said. Carrying aMag Light flashlight and a two-way radio, greencoats scout the Ridge, north campus, Fairhavenand Buchanan Towers. Patrol shifts are done on foot and by rovers in trucks. Greencoats perform non-sworn duties, such as building lock-ups, dorm checks and admission to buildings, for three-to- four hour shifts. "You get a different view of the campus," said senior Amy Vandall, a greencoat who patrolledthrough winter break. This view of Western is essential for the campus police. "(The greencoats) actas the eyes and ears," Shaw said. Perhaps the most important role of greencoats is that of escort."Something not a lot of people know about is that we perform escorts," Brooks Werner, a sophomoregreencoat, said. "We do them from all over campus." Within the last four years, 810 people have takenadvantage of the escort program, which provides the service to anyone on campus. Escorts to parking lots and other parts of the campus may be called-24 hours per day at 650- 3555.

The Western Foundation will still contribute$100,000, and the total will be $750,000. The new proposal will include a stipulation that 5 percent of the total sum goes to the A.S. Board of Directors for allocation to student clubs and organizations that donot necessarily need large amounts of money. Now, only proposals which require a minimum of $10,000 are accepted and most don't get a second look unless they ask for $150,000, Cox said.

From about 5 to 6 p.m. the water tower siren on the corner of West College andHighland drives went off because of either a radio or electrical malfunction, and was not silent untilmaintenance people from Western disconnected some wires, said Don Boyd, the programspecialist for emergency management. The siren, owned by the city, is used to alarm the public of ahazardous material incidents, Boyd said. When the siren goes off, students should tune to their localmedia station for instructions, he said. Some Ridgeway residents did just that. However, most of thestations were running regular programming. "When there is no information, you have to assume thatthere is a malfunction with the alarm," Boyd said, adding that whenever emergency management setsoff the siren they simultaneously send out pertinent information to all the local media stations. Several concerned students called University Police. Sigma resident Andrea Steurer said University Police tolda girl in her hall to close all her windows and stay inside, just in case. Other students were not surewhat to think of the siren. Ridgeway resident Anna Springer said she feared the worst when she heard alady repeatedly yelling, "They don't know what it is!" "I thought there was an air raid and that we weregoing to get bombed," Springer said. "I wasn't sure if I should panic, or do my best to ignore it,"Ridgeway resident Andrew Miller said. "Why do you have a siren for the public when you don't evenknow what it means?" Beta resident Aaron Dawson asked. Not only did some students not know what the alarm meant, some students didn't even know that it was an emergency alarm. Ideas of what theloud noise was ranged from a loud car alarm to a fire drill. The siren is tested the second Monday ofevery month at 12:45 p.m. and lasts about one minute, Boyd said. Health Center survey gets positiveresponses, from page 4 helpful for others. "It's okay. I've never had any problems with it, but myroommate went in the other day with a headache, and she had to wait an hour-and-a-half," Kim Sneed said. "I guess she hit a busy day." "We definitely have people who are unhappy with their wait time, butthe vast majority are satisfied," Gibson said. Four hundred of the 570 survey respondees said they had not waited an unreasonable length of time at any area of the center. One hundred sixty-one studentsreported the wait was unreasonable and six indicated the question didn't apply to them. The average wait for a walk-in visitor is 45 to 60 minutes from check-in, which is comparable to other medicalcenters in the county, Gibson said. According to the center's Web site, the busiest hours are between11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. when wait times are as long as one-and-a-half hours for walk-in patients. Theshortest wait time tends to be in the mornings before 10 a.m. The survey was commissioned by theCounseling, Health and Wellness Services Committee, which reviews student health fees, healthservices provided and university insurance plans, Gibson said. The last survey was completedapproximately six-years ago, she said. All Western students pay a $43 health services fee each quarter. The health center provides free consultations for students, discounts on medication provided andlabwork and procedures done there, Gibson said. More than half of student visits to the health center are consultations, she said. The most common ailment students come in with is respiratory illness,followed by women's health care, mental health concerns such as eating disorders ,attention deficitdisorders and musculature/skeletal injuries, she said. The average number of visits per year ranges from 20,000 to 24,000, and tracking through student numbers revealed approximately half the studentbody will visit in a school year, Gibson said. Approximately 90 percent of the students who respondedsaid they had visited the health center at least twice. The health center, located at High Street Hall 25,is available to all students enrolled at Western for six or more credits.

The C.S.C. provides services and programs that help students establish personal-education andcareer goals. The center has a variety of programs, such as self-assessments and initial career decision-making, to ease unavoidable job search anxiety. "The center started as a placement office for teachers,then expanded to a comprehensive service for all students in the mid- to late-'60s," Loudon said. ';'â€¢;-The C.S.C. continues to expand, keeping the needs of students, in mind. By fall. 1999, the center hopes to have completed the expansion of its Web site so students can register for job placement via the Website. "But as of now, job listings are available hard-copy on a subscription basis, or can be viewed in thecenter," Loudon said. Although the career center serves a large portion of Western's campus, Loudonsaid she is concerned with the number of students and alumni who don't take advantage of theprogram. "The career center is something that students don't take advantage of enough," said MattMeyers, a Western marketing and finance major. "When students graduate, 'The Career center issomething that students don't take advantage of enough.' Matt Meyers Western marketing andfinance major they could pay someone a lot of money to do the same thing that Western does for theirstudents for free." "Because different students use our services at different times, for different reasons,it is difficult to come up with precise numbers," Loudon said. " But we estimate that 60 â€” 70 percent ofWestern Washington University graduates use the center at some point before they graduate." "Weneed help getting the word out to the other 30 to40 percent," she said. The career center also offersindividual counseling, assessment programs, internships, a career resource library, computer stations, workshops and job-search services. "I think students would be interested to know that we hired a part-time employer outreach specialist this fall," Loudon said. "The purpose of this new position is to getout and market Western students to regional employers, both for internship opportunities and for careeremployment after graduation," she said. Loudon stressed students must understand the long-termbenefits of practical experience before graduation. Internship opportunities are available through thecenter, and listed on its Web site, at www.wwu.edu/~careers. SPECIAL STUDENT RATE $99 for 3Months Compare To Other Gyms!

By Jen Webber The Western Front One is 6 feet 3 inches tall; the other barely reacheshis chest. One already renewed his driver's license; the other has at least a year to go before he gets hislearner's permit. While one studies for his next midterm, the other memorizes words for his spelling test.They lead two different lives, but they share one extraordinary friendship. While most students are athome mindlessly staring at television or furiously cramming at the library, these two are hanging out,creating memories. The older of the two is Western senior Michael Erickson; his sidekick is 14-year-oldChristopher, who decided he was lacking something in his life. That's where Erickson stepped in â€” thepair is involved with Campus Buddies, a program organized by Big Brothers Big Sisters of WhatcomCounty-and designed to match young boys with college students for mentors. Erickson was attracted tothe program because of what it does for children. "I grew up with just my mom," he said. "I never had amale role model; that's why I wanted to do this." Volunteers like Erickson are matched with children fromsingle-parent homes. Approximately 70 kids are on the B.B.B.S. waiting list â€” 60 of whom are boysages 6 to 14, Program Supervisor Beth Hoffman said. Boys wait an average of 25 months to be matchedwith a Big Brother; girls are matched within 6 to 12 months. "Our goal is (to) serve more kids," Hoffmansaid. The agency designed the Campus Buddies program in response to the large number of boysneeding mentors. Western senior and B.B.B.S. intern Joan Baugh said, "The program is only offered to boys and only requires a school-year commitment." B.B.B.S., a non-profit agency, funds the programwith help from the Whatcom County Substance Abuse Prevention Board and Whatcom CommunityFoundation, Hoffman said. The agency set its goal at matching 30 "Bigs" and 30 "Littles;" the programhas 29 matches, two of whom have female mentors. The agency hopes to expand its numbers for nextyear. Baugh said, adding that next year's goal is to reach 35 matches. It will start recruiting morestudents this spring for the upcoming year. A potential mentor must go through an interview andapplication process before being matched, Hoffman said. This is to ensure the safety of the child.Volunteers may request to be matched with a child of similar interests. Erickson requested someonewho enjoyed the outdoors, sports and video games. B.B.B.S. recruited Campus Buddies at the 1997Westfest. "Western is a great resource," Hoffman said. "The program was originally designed forstudents at Western." For Western freshman Ryan Prosser, involvement with Campus Buddies has been a learning experience, he said. He has been matched since October with 11-year-old Richard. "It's a real relaxed mentor system," Prosser said. "Kids don't have a lot of good influences; I wanted to help in thatway." For Erickson, spending time with his little buddy is more than just games. He feels the best timehe has with Christopher is when he helps him with his homework. "It made me feel so good to help him learn something," Erickson said, smiling. Christopher and Erickson said they also enjoy spending theirtime together playing sports. Erickson said they have spent hours at the YMCA rock climbing, shootinghoops and playing racquetball. Campus Buddies also offers activities that buddies participate in as agroup, such as bowling, movies, games and ice cream outings, Hoffman said. "As the weather getsbetter, we'll start going outside more," she said. As for now, the activities are mainly indoors. Thismentoring program benefits the child and the mentor. "It's always good to have different aspects in yourlife," Prosser said. Erickson referred to his relationship with his little brother as "behavior check."Knowing I'm a mentor makes me think twice about things," he said. "Because if I do it, he'd think it'sokay that he does it... I wouldn't want my little bro to see me in a situation involving alcohol orsomething." As for their relationship, Erickson says, "We're still in the beginning; it's a slow process."His goal in the friendship is to "bring everything out in the open." He wants Christopher to feel totallycomfortable with him, he said. "At first it was awkward; I had to initiate everything," Erickson said. "Nowhe's asking me to do specific things." Mentors are important in the lives of kids, just as the kids areimportant in the lives of their mentors. "I know there will be things I say or things we do that he willalways remember," Erickson said. "The feeling it gives you, to be such a big part of somebody's life, isamazing," he said. "I'll always remember the time I've spent with Christopher."

JensenCOMMENTARY At 3:18 p.m. Sunday, millions of. A m e r i c a n s may gather around their b i g - s c r e e ns and enjoy some good, old-fashioned macro brews and Slim Jim's while they watch the BigGame. Unfortunately, unlike recent Super Bowls, this year's has the makings of a Super Bore. TheAtlanta Falcons played its real Super Bowl last weekend, and should be grateful it backed into theposition it's now in. Atlanta used gutsy play-calling and luck to upset the 9.5-point-favorite MinnesotaVikings in the NFC Championship Game, but as Harvey Keitel said in "Thelma and Louise," "Brains canonly get you so far, and luck always runs out." By my calculations, Atlanta's luck is set to run outprecisely the moment Denver's Terrell Davis makes his first carry Sunday. NFL analysts are excited that Davis and Atlanta's Jamal Anderson, the league's top two running backs, will square off. In all honesty,the only advantages Anderson holds over Davis are a better endzone dance and flashier wardrobe. When I saw Anderson getting off the team plane in Miami, he looked as if he was coming from the set of"Starsky and Hutch." Atlanta's rushing defense is ranked second in the NFL this year, allowing only75.2 rushing-yards per game; but it never faced a machine like Davis. Denver could actually win thisgame without ever throwing a pass. Look for Denver to establish its running game early. Against theJets, Davis ran the ball eight of the first 12 plays, picking up 46 yards. Davis has rushed for more than100 yards in six straight playoff games and compiled 967 yards in the process. Though fast andpunishing, the only way Atlanta's defensive line and linebackers could shut down Davis is with a bullet.Atlanta expects to have its injury-plagued defensive backs healthy for Sunday. At best, it can only hopeto contain the offensive whirlwind that is tight-end Shannon Sharpe, and receivers Rod Smith and "Easy" Ed McCaffrey. After an NFL shelf-life of 16 years, Elway is probably playing his last game. Expect himto go out like a champion, and with mismatches against all his receivers, he certainly will. Atlantacorners Michael Booker and Ray Buchanan are good defensive backs, but they'll need a couple ofrockets up their keisters to st-ay close to the speedy Smith and McCaffrey when Elway goes deep.Should Smith and McCaffrey be covered, Elway need only ' go short to Sharpe, who will be covered by a linebacker, or he can tuck the ball and run it himself â€” a'la last year when he leapt over Packerswhile simultaneously planning his trip to Disneyland and getting his picture on the cover of SportsIllustrated. When Atlanta has the ball, don't expect any 367-yard heroics from quarterback ChrisChandler. Chandler's unbelievable performance against Minnesota probably had something to do withhis wife expecting their child ; at any moment during the game, he wouldn't want to be a loser the dayhis kid was born. Denver's defense' is' staunch and steadfast. This postseason, the Broncos haveallowed only two field goals and a touchdown in holding Miami and New York to a combined 28 yards on 26 carries. Led by linebacker Bill Romanowski, the living definition of a damaged medulla oblongata,the Bronco defense is the total package; it's able to shut down the pass and run. Opponents averagedjust 17.9 points per game against Denver this year. Super Bowl XXXIII may go down as one of thebiggest blowouts since I beat Lee Krancus 63-7 with the Chicago Bears in Tecmo Bowl when I was12. My prediction: Broncos 34, Falcons 13. advertising It's better in the JL ou' ve just gotten yourclasses arranged, and you're all settled in.

Eight teams from Washington and Idaho participated in the tournament. Western's first and second teams competed in the tournament, which didn't end until 1a.m. The first team played well in the early rounds, but became tired down the stretch. It finished thirdafter losing to WSU in the smgle-elimination tournament. Player/Coach Grant Lange said teammembers were tired because they had to get up at 6 a.m. and travel to Pullman. Western's second team finished last in the tournament, but played well considering most of its opponents had more experience. The second team consists mainly of first- and second-year players. "A lot of these guys have neverplayed organized volleyball before," Lange said of the second team. "We are disappointed, but it'ssomething that we will be able to leave here and go on with the rest of the season." Placing third at atournament is usually good, but not for a Western team which finished ninth at nationals last season.Expectations are high this year, even after facing some obstacles early in the season. It lost a couple ofstarters from last year's team, including its starting setter, Josh Long, who tore the anterior cruciateligament in his knee before the season. Sophomore James Suh, formally an outside hitter, has steppedinto the role of setter. "I'm still learning a lot," Suh said. Outside hitter Randy Hartman said, "It's goingto be rough to get used to a new setter, but James is coming through." The volleyball team also needsto raise money to go to nationals at College Park, Md. The players are planning to hold a raffle duringthe coming weeks, and, depending on the availability of space, hope to have a tournament at Western.The team is confident about the season. "We have a lot more enthusiasm this year," Lange said. "Weare more solid as a group right now than at this time last year." Defensive specialist Matt Johnson said, "This team has more commitment than any other team I have played on." Clampitt recognized as All-American By Paul A.C. Berg The Western Front Western's best wide receiver, Ben Clampitt, wasrecognized Saturday as one of the nation's best, receiving honorable-mention recognition for DonHansen's Football Gazette NCAA Division II All- America Football Team for 1998. Clampitt led theVikings in scoring and all-purpose yards, finishing the season with 71 catches for 1,288 yards and 10touchdowns, all second-best's in Western history. Coach Rob Smith said he knew Clampitt wasr good, but didn't expect this type of season. "We knew he had the speed to get behind the defense as a deepthreat," Smith said. "He really surprised us with his ability to catch the ball in traffic, (while) beingbumped." "He really played with confidence all season and is deserving of all the credit that he gets," he added. "He works as hard as anybody on the team, and that's why I'm so happy to see him get all this recognition." Clampitt also gave credit to Smith. "Coach Smith really showed confidence in me," hesaid. "(Smith) just gave me a shot and let me play; when you know your coaches have confidence andare behind you, it makes it a lot easier." Get it h e r e .

The Viking squad won 84-72 and moved into playoff contention with the victory. Front/Tim Klein Vikingmen back in playoff hunt By Shane Davis The Western Front With its latest victory against ChaminadeSaturday at Carver Gym, the Western men's basketball team finds itself back in the playoff hunt afterlosing two close conference games early in January. Western won 84-72 and moved to to 9-7 overalland 5-5 in the PacWest Conference. Recently, the team found out it will probably have to go the rest ofthe season without Mike Sims, who averages seven rebounds per game and 12.7 points per game.Red-shirt freshman A.J. Giesa has elevated his play and replaced the injured Sims in the startinglineup. Giesa said it doesn't matter whether he starts or comes off the bench. "I just try to focus andplay as hard as I can," Giesa said. "I'm just trying to do my best for the team." Head coach BradJackson said, "Probably the key guy for us in 'A.J. stepped up big; he came in and ,co*v d e in_Â£SÂ£ took Mike's spot and got those points ^ures fÂ°r r ^ ' Western, with and rebounds we needed.'RyanKettmanand Jared Stevenson the way points Shelton Diggs Freshman guard this whole transition has been A.J.

"A.J. stepped up big; hecame in and took Mike's spot and got those points and rebounds we needed," freshman guard SheltonDiggs said. leading with 17 each. Kettman kept the Vikings close in the first half, by sparking theoffense whenever the team needed it. Stevenson started out slow, but made up for it at the line, hitting12 of 13 free throws. Giesa had 16 points and six rebounds; Diggs added 15 points and four rebounds.Jacob Stevenson provided offense off the bench with 10 points and two assists. The Vikings will travel to Hawaii to take on Hawaii Pacific University Thursday, and Brigham Young University- Hawaii Saturday.Diggs said the win gives the team some confidence going into the Hawaii games. "These Hawaii gameswill be tough," Jackson said. "I think we will go in there with a lot of confidence, hopefully sneak out awin or two and stay right in the playoff hunt." Women beat two PacWest rivals By Jen Webber TheWestern Front basketball team Olsen Western's women's improved its record to 16-3 last week, edging conference rivals St. Martin's College and Seattle Pacific University. The two victories boosted theteam's winning streak to four games. In both contests, the Vikings escaped overtime because ofmissed 3-point attempt by their opponents in the closing seconds. Western, ranked second in theNCAA Division II's West Region/rallied back from a five-point half-time deficit to take St. Martin's, 63-60,Thursday night. Western was led by the outstanding performances of juniors Amanda Olsen and CelesteHill. Olsen scored a game-high 17 points and Hill added 16. "Amanda had a really good second half,"Head coach Carmen Dolfo said. "She hit lanes and took the ball to the hole." Western trailed 34-29 at the half, as the Saints shot 52 percent from the floor. The Saints scored the opening basket of the second half, but the Vikings went on a 15-7 run to take the lead with 14 minutes left in the game. "We got ourrunning game going in the second half ... that's what did it for us," Dolfo said. Defensively, the Vikingsheld St. Martin's top scorer, Lori Newell, to only nine points. "Celeste did a good job against Newell,"Dolfo said. "They're a very physical team." The Vikings dominated the boards, out-rebounding St.Martin's 41-33. The Saints were led by Julie Mattson, who scored 13 points, shooting five-for-five from the field and two-for-two from the free-throw line. Kami Koehler missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer that wouldhave sent the game into overtime. After the tough win Saturday, the Vikings headed north to take onnationally-ranked Seattle Pacific University. "We wanted it so bad." sophomore guard Linsay Portersaid. "It was a pride thing." The Vikings came out successful, winning 81-78. The Falcons, ranked 21st in the USA Today/Women's Basketball Coaches Association national poll, dropped to 13-5 and 6-4.Western was led by Hill with 18 points, while Olsen and sophomore guard Briana Abrahamsen tallied 17points each. Junior forward Sara Nichols had an outstanding performance â€” notching a double-double. She scored 13 points and brought down a team-high 12 rebounds. With the win, the Vikingsimproved to 8- 3 in the West Division of the PacWest Conference. Coming into the game, the plan wasto focus on defense. "They're a really good offensive team," Porter said. "The name of the game isdefense." The Falcons had four players who scored in double figures, led by forward Gus Balogh (18points) and forward Jana Holme (16 points). The game was tied at 54 with 14:30 to play, but a basket byOlsen and a 3-pointer by Ambrahamsen put Western ahead for good. "Bri (Abrahamsen) hit a lot of keyoutside shots," Porter said. The Vikings led by 10, 73-63, with 6:41 left, but Seattle Pacific rallied,closing to within a point twice in the final minute of play. Abrahamsen scored the Vikings' last points,sinking a pair of free throws with 16 seconds left. Sims out By Jai Ferguson The Western Front Thethumb injury Western men's basketball forward Mike Sims sustained will sideline him the rest of theseason, Western coach Brad Jackson said. Sims injured his right thumb while falling over a SeattlePacific University player in a game Jan. 16. The injury, an avulsion fracture at the base of his thumb, willrequire surgery, which is scheduled for later this week. Sims, a 6-foot-8-inch senior transfer studentfrom NCAA Division I Eastern Washington University, was having a solid, yet unspectacular seasonbefore the injury. He had been playing better in the last few games. He was leading the team inrebounds (7.0) and field-goal percentage and was second in points per game (12.7). Jackson said theinjury was unfortunate, but it will give some of the younger players a chance to play. "You have tobecome a little more cohesive when something like this happens," Jackson said. "The kids areresilient," Jackson said. "They're good at facing adversity." ---------- Western Front - 1999 January 26 - Page 13 ---------- J a n u a r y 26, 1999 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 13 HStiii â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢Illlilllllllllllllll COMMENTARY ||ffi|tf^i^ ii^iliiliiBiii:iiiiiJiii fthey|felt;^^ Â§fj3f;rnf||^ Athletics reflect academics; Neuheisel will reinstate UW's standing Jai Ferguson COMMENTARY Some interesting questionsregarding the role of athletics in the higher-learning environment arise from the University ofWashington's recent hiring of football coach Rick Neuheisel for a reported $1 million annual salary.Football, like all other sports at a university, provides more than entertain- ~ ~ ment, if it is any good.A good football program enhances school pride and provides an outlet for social interaction. The programusually funds the entire athletic department. Most importantly, football provides a chance for individuals to attend college through athletic scholarships. A look at a ranking of the top public universities by U.S. News Online shows startling similarities between the nation's top academic schools and the top football schools. Fifteen of the 25 schools ranked in the final ESPN/USA Today Division I-A football poll werealso ranked as top-50 public universities. Athletics are an integral piece of the college environment.Without the gate receipts from the 70,000 people who attend home games, or the contributions from UWAlumni members from the Tyee Club, the athletic department would undoubtedly have to face cut-backs. In just the last five years, UW has been able to build a soccer facility, a women's fastpit'chstadium, a baseball stadium and is in the process of beginning renovations to Hec Edmundson Pavilion â€” all with the help of money from football. Clearly, football and athletics are good for universities;athletics generate pride and money. Continuing the tradition of excellence is a must. The Huskies'tradition-rich football program has taken a turn for the worse. The Huskies are no longer the dominantteam in the Pac-10 Conference. By hiring Neuheisel, the administration commits to restoring theHuskies' winning "tradition and returning fans to the stadium, thus securing the future of the athleticprogram. Richard McCormick, UW president, defends the hiring by saying, "To get the best, the verybest, you have to play in the market," and pay in the market, which the Huskies did. Neuheisel's salarymakes him one of the five highest-paid coaches in college football. Neuheisel's base salary is $195,000,funded by football program revenues. The remaining $800,000 coming from perfor-fOOtball a n dathletiCS mance incentivesi and outside compensation from such are good for universities; athleticsgenerate pride and money. Continuing the tradition of excellence at UW is a must.' tyiSit tit WESTERN www.wcug.wwu. - o edu/westernfront FRONT nline sources as media contracts and shoeendorsements, UW athletic director Barbara Hedges said. The faculty and public shouldn't be upsetabout Neuheisel's contract because not a dime of the money is coming from university or Washingtonstate resources, Hedges said. Big name corporations will pay for big name coaches, unfortunately, thesame isn't true for academic professors. If the art or music departments can devise a plan ofcompensation from private sources to better pay its faculty then they should feel free to do so. Icommend the university for recognizing the problem and fixing it quickly. A football team helps define auniversity, and if UW wants to continue its excellent national reputation, then hiring Neuheisel was theonly option. letters Anti-gay graffiti disturbs student To the editor: I am writing to express my concernabout the homophobic graffiti recently found in the parking lot adjacent to Edens Hall, which stated "Ihate faggots." It disturbs me that I live in a community where some people feel that it is acceptable tohold these views. An action such as this is a form of scare tactic, the intent of which is to create aclimate where certain members of our community are made to feel unwelcome and unsafe, therefore making it less likely that they will voice their concerns. Who, I ask, will be the next targeted group? Itcould be the elderly, the disabled, people of non-white ethnic groups, women, anyone that somebodyelse wants to 'put in their place.' No one is safe when others are being threatened; I challenge allmembers of the Western and Bellingham community to make â€¢ a commitment to stand against theharassment of any group. We cannot rise together as a society to overcome prejudice and hate whensome of our voices are still being silenced. Sarah L. Gotwals Western student Are chalking andgraffiti protected by the First Amendment. Why, or why not? Tell us what you think. Chalk noteffective; need cleaner method for debate needed To the editor: In response to the recent issue ofwhether to allow or disallow the use of chalk in organizational propaganda on campus, I would like togive my opinions. First, let me say that I totally agree that students and their organizations must beallowed to voice their viewpoints or stances on issues affecting the campus community. My problem,however, is the method used to do such advertising. More specifically, I feel that chalking Red Squareand other such areas on campus is not the best means by which to accomplish this. I recall that during the debate of initiative 200 and affirmative action, Red Square looked like a circus with all the chalkmessages written about. In no way did this portray to me a serious or effective way of getting a heatedpoint across to others It makes our campus look cheap and degraded. I am convinced there are otherways for organizations and students to voice their feelings. I am sure that if a group of studentsbrainstormed, a more effective and aesthetically pleasing method could be developed to replace chalk on campus. I am the last person who wants my First Amendment rights placed in jeopardy, but I alsoknow that we can find a better way of letting our thoughts and positions be known. Andy StoltenbergWestern student ---------- Western Front - 1999 January 26 - Page 14 ---------- \A â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT OPINIONS J a n u a r y 26, 1999 Incidents demand concern for safetyWhat can be done to make Western safer? In the aftermath of the alleged assaults of two students oncampus â€” one woman was allegedly sexually assaulted Jan. 17 near Mathes and the other womansaid she was knocked to the ground near Fairhaven Jan. 13 â€” this question has been voiced by manypeople in the Western community and needs to be addressed by the administration. Administrators must ensure that Western has adequate security officers, outdoor lighting, telephones and safety education.Safety-oriented departments, such as the University Police and Environmental Health and Safety andstudent-oriented departments, such as Residence Life and Student Support Services, are addressingthese requirements. They need to maintain their vigilance and remedy existing lapses in campus safety quickly. Only nine of the 12 funded positions on the University Police force are filled. This creates a ratioof 3 officers to 3,840 students. University Police Chief James Shaw said a ratio of 3 officers to 2,000students is needed to adequately cover Western. Although two officers from the police academy will jointhe force this spring, University Police needs to fill the third opening as quickly as possible to increasesafety on campus. Two other safety features Western lacks is campus telephones in clear view andbetter-quality lighting on all campus walkways. In addition, a heavily-traveled path between Fairhaven andBuchanan Towers needs lighting. Although a lit path between the two residence halls exists,Environmental Health and Safety Director Gayle Shipley said 60 percent of students use the unlit pathbecause it is faster. Improved lighting is also needed along East College Way, so the many students whopark in that area can return to their cars safely. Shipley requested funding from the state legislature inWestern's budget proposal for the next biennium for more campus â€” phones along walkways, andlighting in the new parking lot on 2st Street, in addition to East College Way and the unlit trail fromFairhaven to Buchanan Towers. Western administrators either need to lobby the legislature heavily toensure the university is allocated the money to make these improvements or find funds elsewhere.Another area administrators must take initiative on is educating the campus community. The concernabout campus safety, which was sparked by the recent assaults is an opportunity to create a campus-wide safety campaign. Public Safety, Prevention and Wellness Services and Residence Life have takenthe first steps through providing informative pamphlets for students and giving meetings in residencehalls. They should take this a bit farther, however, by posting safety information in buildings throughoutcampus and hosting public forums on personal safety to further reach out to the Western students â€”especially those who live off-campus. The safety of everyone on campus is an issue so important that itdemands immediate and strong action from the administration.

SEIF-IAAWQLMIOWEthics for cartoonists: comment on issues, but without grotesqueness Mike Walker COMMENTARYEditorial c a r t o o n s cover the pages of most publ i c a t i o n s ; people can a c c e s s themfrom any source. T h e y : appear next to the concrete, succinct editorial stories in every localnewspaper, and they supplement the opinions of virtually every magazine, both print and online.Society must always push the envelope, whatever the medium. We must always test and challenge what is socially acceptable, said Western journalism professor Tim Pilgrim. Otherwise, we do notpermit free speech and we cannot grow as a society. Cartoonists must present statements aboutcontroversial themes in a manner that comments about the issue but without the distasteful orgraphic images, - which sometimes appear regardless of the publication's audience. For most people, cartoons read quickly and easily, if the illustrator draws a clear message. Cartoons discuss and poke fun at the hard issues: politics, censorship, who is having sex with President Bill Clinton and otherpressing, social issues. Cartoonists must not simply be funny, but must consider their audience's levelof sensitivity, possible misinterpretations and the impact of the message. They must exaggerateto appeal to their audience and illustrate their ideas, but must do so ethically, without detracting fromtheir message or defaming someone's reputation, said Patrick O' Callahan, an editorialist for theTacoma News Tribune: Offensive ideas must not be censored, but an overly-grotesque portrayal ofreality must be because a disgusting presentation is unnecessary to show one's opinion. A grotesquecartoon loses its 'Cartoonists can tactfully satirize issues without being grotesque or pornographic;they must manage and scrutinize their work with the same fervor as journalists.' editorial message byforcing the viewer to focus on the repul-siveness of the image, rather than what the image is supposed to represent. Last week in The Front, cartoonist Sarah Kulfan depicted a proponent of chalk artresting his.hands underneath a guillotine, waiting to receive punishment. ' ; This illustrated her ideathat banning chalk art limits free speech, without being grotesque or offensive in any way. After all, shecould have drawn a bloody chopped-off hand and displayed the same idea, but it probably would havebeen more distracting than helpful to her concept. An outrageous depiction, such as Kulfan's guillotine, may be more effective to emphasize urgency of an issue, but cartoonists never need to be grotesque. If cartoonists crudely portrayed specific details from Ken Starr's sex report in a family-orientedpublication, the audience would be outraged, and rightly so. Cartoonists can tactfully satirizeissues without being grotesque or pornographic; they must manage and scrutinize their work with thesame fervor as journalists. Children seldom gain access to college newspapers, so the paper would notneed to focus as much on affecting family and children. Rather, the college paper must consider adiverse population's perception of a cartoon. Similarly, all publications must analyze their targetaudience and find out how to most appropriately reach them. Editorial cartoonists, like all otherjournalists, editors and decent human beings, must consider the bottom line â€” the tastefulness ofthe message and to whom they are speaking; but cartoonists must ask why they are drawing thecartoon. ---------- Western Front - 1999 January 26 - Page 15 ---------- January26, 1999 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 The Independent Learning office has moved!

Student Lounge Closed Indefinitely 'ftom Wlt ie President Haggard Rides Again •XruStees'Meet Decides (with the editor) Perhaps the contents of this edition of "Foolies of 1944" best explains the progress backwards to. the past tense in the title of this column . . . Speaking of past tenses, this spring air decidedly makes one feel young again. You can even see spring registered on students' visages. APRIL FOOL'S SOBER UP But even April's fools are shocked out of their foolishness .when they gaze at stories of the scandalous lounge excapades and on the other hand, when they observe how sapless and worn out some students are allowing themselves to become. Difficult as it is to return to begin a new quarter afresh and to find things developed as post-vacation reports show they are, students and faculty must face the reality that affairs are.in a serious state. As shown in this edition, several faculty members have revealed that they are anxious to try and guide the students to a better welfare. But judging from the unruly and immature conduct of several prominent 1 acuity members, students had better strain their every effort to lift the fallen faculty out of its wartime slump. IN MEMORIUM I can only say that although the yWVCollegian staff once bragged. " I t is this for which we stand"—there's always tomorrow, April'.fools,- and that for which we stood. We're making no pretenses— everything's in past tenses since this issue has reached the public's hands. WHERE ARE YOUR TEACHERS? But, as we leave you students, we wish to give you the encouragement to have strength and guide the faculty through this crucial period. And we. ask you . to always keep in mind, "Where Are Your Teachers?" 2 (All birds connected with this •edition -have- migrated, so please, forward all mail south,) Lounge Misused • Student lounge activities will cease starting this week as a result of a number of the rules being violated. A secret meeting of the Board of Trustees, President W. W. Haggard and ASB Prexy Dec Barron, in the Student Lounge during spring vacation, in which the violations and rules were discussed, brought about agreement to close the Student Lounge for the duration. Many reasons have lead up to the closing of the Student Lounge, but only a few particularly stand out, as Barron presented the list of violations before the meeting. • "I...er..er. I never dreamed ... ah, I never would have guessed that I, William Wade Haggard would 'ride again'," mumbled the former WWC president excitedly as he looked at the ground and scuffed his high heeled boots nervously in the dust. Smells Washe Up Horson Smells, Hollywood producer, standing next to the executive enthusiastically confirmed the astounding rumor that Dr. Haggard has been selected by Nineteenth Century^ Wolf to replace the drafted Hop-Along-Cassidy in his latest film. "We "were really up ;a tree as to what to do," continued Smells. "Screen Star Cassidy was busy hopping along in his latest movie "Out of Range" when the Navy-drafted him and gave him a private rating." Horson winced on to say, "Production was halted and I feared it was the end of Smells." Autrey's Smile Dulled But his eye lit as he told how he was dejectedly nearing the end. of an auto tour in search of a true Western rider to continue "Out of Range" when up from a gulf in Happy Valley and onto the Samish highway galloped a lone rider calmly perched side saddle on his steed and picking johnny-jump-ups from the roadside as he jogged along. Intrigued by the sight, the producer drove slowly along the highway getting a kick out of horse Lydgate Introduces Spring Assemblies • Spring quarter will bring- a wide selection of assembly programs to WWC students. Outside and student talent will complement. one another. Included in the schedule is a student assembly on March 31; a speech by William A. Lydgate, editor of the Gallup Poll, on April 4 and an International Relations Conference on April 14. Lamar Crow-son, pianist, will perform April 18 and the next assembly to be presented on April 21 will be sponsored by* the AWS. The last week in April, Professor John Kenneth Pearce will speak and a play by the drama club under the direction of Victor Hoppe will be given. In May, Chet Ullin will give an illustrated northwest travelogue, Donald Bushell, Cellist, will perform, another assembly will be given by AWS, and WWC pupils of Miss Strange will present a piano recital The last program date-in May will be given over to a student Memorial Day assembly. June 4, 6, and 9 will be marked by Baccalaureate, class day and commencement exercises. Dignified Doctor Doles Demonstration; CederstronVs Life Dream Pictured By PEPSI SKIRBY gt;' • Last night for the first time in his life, Dr. M..P. Cederstrom disclosed his true ambition, as he sat watching the Ballet Russe longingly. His slumped shoulders now and then gave way to a little rhythm throughout a few of the dances. During the intermission. I, the lucky reporter, was fortunate enough to. swindle a true confession -from Cederstrom, as we stood in the foyer of the theater. "All my life; I've wanted to leap gracefully across a stage as a member of a great Ballet troupe; to sensationally lift a beautfiul ballerina onto my shoulder as we pose artistically before a receptive audience." At this point, M. P. Cederstrom began showing how graceful he , was and what great endurance he possessed while posing on one leg and raising the other gracefully above his head. As lie mechanically manipulated his hands in co-ordination, he gave me that feathery soft smile, and, returning to a normal position, continued telling me more about his ageless desire. "When I was twenty-two, I had almost convinced myself actually to learn the great art of Ballet. Then my chance came and I muffed it. Ever since I,have wanted to try again. I honestly think I could be successful." With absolute faith, Dr. Cederstrom began a series of nimble leaps about the foyer until the bewildered crowd began to drift back into the auditorium. - "Wouldn't it be picturesque and romantic to be a brawny, robust athletic dancer, in those form 'fit-- ting tights?"he added. With courage, resolution, and firmness, Ly. M. F. . Cederstrom stated lus true reason as being, "I don't want to become stagnant and useless!" • •,.:• gt;' -..'•: "To, begin with," began Mr. Barron, "the students bought a nickle-odeon and have ruined it. No* only that, but the furniture has been wrecked, and the color scheme isn't really the style, for it tends to bring us South America." As* Declan Barron adjusted his many sheets of complaint he cleared his throat and began again, talking of more reasons for the closing of the lounge. "Another truly alarming factor is that women students have been smoking in the lounge. Agtf these boys; Gerald Pells, Don Neal, Roy Wark, Gene Sivertson, Bob De Pastel, Murray Gqff, Alfred Clement and Lowell Doud, Were'indulged in a game of strip poker in which Don Neal was losing and Wark had on three jackets, four sweaters, several pairs of socks, two shirts, and (censored by editor). Don Neal was wearing (censored by editor)." By this time the board of trustees, were almost convinced, but Barron had another important complaint. In hysterical frenzy, he concluded with- the lurid report that Lucy Kangley and L. A. Kibbe were found jitterbuging wildly while Nora B. Cummins and Fred Knap-men were doing a rumba to Da Fuehrer's face. '"' After a discussion of what could posibly motivate these disgusting actions displayed by students and faculty, the -Board gave up, and laid the discussion on the table for a meeting to be called in the near future. Eldridge Heads Campus Day • Supervising all plans for work »and play May 10 will be Don Eldridge, senior, who was selected to. be this year's Campus Day chairman by the Board of Control when they met Wednesday afternoon. It was Eldridge's afternoon to shine, for he also was, appointed to a position on the Board, replacing Jim Gilday during the latter's •leave of absence. y^ Dateline Saturday, April 1— Track meet, WWC Viking Tur-fers vs. Mare Island Marines, p. e. field, come when convenient. * Tuesday, April 4— \ V....' .% Student assembly with" William Lydgate speaking.

Doctor Cupie Searches!?? • April 1, 2044, University of Bel-lingfeam, Washington. A't last, after extensive research T» and numerous investigations, the president of our university, Dr. Alfred Clements, will reveal in today's assembly the astounding facts as to the beginning of April Pools c day on this campus. And they are astounding! For, during his search, not quite sure what he was searching for, Dr. Clements unearthed from the dust-buried "Collegian" files in the recently exhumed building on Seaholm Hill, facts and data to provfe that at one time, 1944 to be exact, there was on the hill a small normal school known as Western Washington College of Education. At that time Bellingham was but a small town, the "plastic rush" of 1945 not yet begun, and at, that time also, the mechanically-run teacher machines were not yet in use. The students of this small college were preparing themselves to go out into the world and teach —wOrk now done by electricity The Historic World War II which Dr. Robert De Pastel's History classes are now studying, seemed to have a strained effect on the college life causing what they termed as a "man-shortage." Presumably, these conditions were prior to the recent discovery of the new race of 7' men from Mars. - Dr. Clements reports that the commonest word of that day was evidently "wolf"—no doubt because of the prevailing meat shortage. To get back to the subject of April Fools Day, Dr. Clements said that their methods were indirect, with tacks, sneezing powder, hotfoots, arid custard pies used the bftenest. "It must have been quite the life," said the doctor stroking his beard,— "yes, but a little fast." Surprising Changes Brings New Life; V-12's Take Over • Here gives the latest news about WWC and its students: F-L-A-S-H—Navy has just announced that 500 V-12 students are to move to WWC by the fifteenth of the month. They are to be housed in Edens hall. All girls have until April 12 to find another place to live. HAROLD MOE sold $250, his car for Miss Nora B. Cummins forgot her 3:00 o'clock history class. The Co-op has a new shipment of candy—all kinds of bars are included in the shipment. The Women's Marine Corps latest recruit is an Eden's hall girl— ZOSIA NOWGROWSKI l e a v es Monday for San Diego. Boys in the lounge playing poker with chips selling for $1 a piece. LUCILLE BOVEE and MARILYN ANDERSON have announced their engagements—they report that the hunting was good over vacation. Wedding arrangements are being planned for early in June. "MY dime is your dime"... or so sang Neal, De Pastel, and "Cupie" earlier in the week as thirty cents in the form of three dimes took a powder right before their eyes. Uh-uh, no tricks. Merely a case 6f .the hand being quicker than the eye and the "Three Pokereteers" are out for blood. • - ; . "Did you see 'A Lady in the Dark'?" "Yeah." "Well, which way did she go?"....

For he had never traveled, he'd just stayed at home, practically in his own back yard, all his life— well he had to try anyhow, so "Gold glistens in the swift, shallow streams and from the rocks piled on the shores by the way," he started.

Don't Become Silumpy, Inambitious; Mead Advises Franlcie's Vimms , • Latest, report from the _. nurse's office comes in the form of a bulletin to students on how to win friends and influence people. Miss Mae Mead, school nurse, feels that students have become too lax in their attitudes" toward personal and physical health. Heads hang, shoulders droop, stomachs protrude, feet are flat, and a general lack of vitality and Photo by Hijea Interest is noted. A typical example of this degeneration is shown in the accompanying picture of a student who may.be caught loafing around the halls most any time of day; a student who lacks the zip and fire; thfe go-getiveness of; a leader; one who takes no interest in entering into social activities or in cultivating friends (OR victory gardens). v I This URGENT plea yis being^ made to aid students-^'Buck up, don't let this happen to y b u ^ 4 n d as further advice, Miss Mead; suggests that any one. showing symptoms of iany io£-the j ^ :^ry Vunm ^^k ^ ! Eeeee^.; M ^ 0 ' Nappy Hicks Halts Hurrying Hordes • Traffic in Bellingham's business district was jammed yesterday for over a half hour due to one lone pedestrian. Traffic lights rang out sharply in an attempt" to aid the situation and even the fire department was forced to wait on the corner of. Cornwall and Holly as the lone culprit proceeded slowly across the street. ; Completely unaware of the stares he was attracting and the commotion he was causing, Dr. Arthur C. Hicks calmly continued reading his absorbing literature as he wandered down the street. Many people, thinking he must be engrossed in the latest collection of newsstand fiction, peered over his shoulder hoping to catch a few lines. Miss Linda Countryman and . Thomas Hunt were seen hurrying toward the library in hopes of securing the volume beforev the students learned of its appearance. Mrs. Ruth Burnet, realizing the competition for -securing the boqk at the1 college library would be too great; hurried to the; city library; in search "Now in the soutnern part of the moon, the people are more like we are. Maybe that is by the way they are closer to the earth. But the farther north we traveled, the more native and picturesque the people by the way became." . (This was pretty good after all, considering that he had never been there or any place else.) He continued," Everyone wore native clothes and most of them were barefooted. "And by the way, they made''the most beautiful baskets I have ever seen. "In a few short weeks our pleasant travels on the moon came to an end—and by . the way, we re- gt; turned to the earth." And so we leave our speaker, who dreams of setting foot outside of Bellingham, by the way and go on ours. Dr. Hicks was finally roused by the ever growing crowd and to the amazement of his collection of fans, demurely turned to the title page of the book and showed that it was the classic "Canterbury Tales" upon which he had given "such concentration. Dejected and disappointed,' the crowd dispersed, leaving the cause of so much interest to continue alone. .down- the street" with, his.- gt; valuableUterattire: :' ' '•'• HEY, MUGS!

STUDENT'S CO-OP Love Match Meshy; Net Result Fatal • Thursday afternoon, the tennis court was the scene of a hard fought match between Nils Boson and Mabel Zoe Wilson for the championship title. Wilson Chops After a decidedly vigorous warm-up, Miss Wilson began the game by shouting "Serve 'em up." Boson immediately stepped forth and at the same time took a deep breath of the early spring air. Then, sputtering and a coughing, he took his place for the serve. Boson was" excellent with his long, easy volleys but Miss Wilson soon put a stop to them with her petite chopped shots.. Boson's Toes Peek It is interesting at this point to note the' attire of the opponents. Miss Wilson wore a short pink skirt with blue and white striped tights and T shirt. (See Moss shop in downtown district for further details.) On the other side of the net we find Mr. Boson in white shorts with a reet pleat and a deep seat. Completing his outfit, he wore Whole . .. Spring has sprung' and the track is ready for another season. Plans are underway for the first meet with.. MARE.. ISLAND.. MARINES here at WWC. The meet will be held tomorrow afternoon if the officials can get the boys rounded up. A five mile relay will be an additional feature if plans are completed as they are now going. We wonder just how our boys will show up against the Marines- JERRY PELLS can be counted on to run a fast lap on the relay team, even if he has never run on a team before. ROY WARK along with doing his stunt at high jumping and the 440-yard dash, will probably acid' pole vaulting to the list. BOB, ROSS and LOWELL DOUR both run the 220, so we ought to be able to count on plac-ing in that event at least. - Yours truly has high hopes for the 1944. track season here at Western Warfiington, even against such opposition as Mare Island. to pick it up she caught her lily-white hand in the new tarred nets. Boson immediately rushed to the rescue and attempted to hur"d'e the net. But as he sailed over, his feet became enmeshed and he was hopelessly dragged down. And now we leave the couple entangled in a love net—I mean set. still haggard (Continued from Page One) and rider. And when the cowboy and horse hurdled a hedge, his car sped to catch up and he began to fumble excitedly in his vest pocket for a pen. But he decisively snatched a contract from his coat when he heard the gliding notes of a yodel break from the rider's lips. "It was at this point," Smells brought out, "that I was convinced that Cassidy, through this man, would ride again in the eyes of the public ... that perhaps even Autry's box office smile could be outdone by superb riding.".. Dr. Haggard modestly admitted that since he'd had to be rational and give up driving his car, he had turned to riding horseback. "What I like about a horse is that you don't even need a stamp for his shoes and regardless of model, you always have knee action.' he remarked. "I feel that because I'm needed in movies, I must be progressive and put my feet in the stirrups rather than on a desk," concluded Cassidy's double." Smells consoled the somewhat worried new Hollywood discovery with the fact that the most difficult scene in the show is when the. star nearly drowns in a ten gallon lid. In a fitting manner, Dr. Haggard will journey to 'Calif ornia by horse, weather permitting. At the present time, however, President Haggard's horse is kicking for fear he will be thrown over Cassidy's. Haggard plans to take his quarter leave of absence and depart as soon as he closes a few brief cases. Have a "Coke" = Sakabona ( WHADDYA SAY ?) heavy ribbed socks and the newest of peektoe ventilated tennis shoes. One Big Mesh! The match developed into a heated contest, with Miss Wilson ahead at point set. However on the next point she slammed the ball into the net. Then as she went .. .from Bloemfontein to Buffalo In South Africa, as in the U. S. A., the greeting Have a "Coke" helps the American sailor to get along. And it helps, too, in your home when you have Coca-Cola in your icebox. Across the Seven Seas, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that refreshes,—the friendly gesture of good-natured folks.

JERSEY BOUNCE Get a Direct MILK SHAKE HILLVIEW 1824 Cornwall Ave. Uncle Sam Calls • Students of WWC were greatly shocked this morning when notified in a telegram from the U.S. Government that Charles Lappen-busch, formerly a WWC athletic instructor, had secretly left Bellingham last week for Washington, D.'C, where he lied about his age and joined the ....avy. - The amazing news was further, verified by Charlie's wife who sobbed tearfully as she explained that her husband had always loved to sail toy boats in the dishwater and the bathtub. "And," she continued, "I became suspicious last week when he robbed his childs piggy bank and put all his belongings in a pillow case." He left no farewell note but did leave his wife several references so that she- would have no trouble getting a job. The telegram from the Government was very brief, only stating that the Navy was having some difficulty in finding a uniform to fit the new recruit. They also said that Mr. Lappenbusch passed all - his examinations highly with the exception of the swimming-test. He will leave for Bootee Camp soon, where the bright young sailor will be' immediately placed on the Navy payroll.: ': -. V-••':.: ^ •^• gt;^'v^:y-'.vy- Did Someone Say "Milk"?

We wish to express our hope that the student body has had faith in us for the, two quarters we have served you and we hope that you will realize that we have always attempted to interpret the news and advertise local houses of business in an authentic manner. The happenings of this week and over spring vacation have made it difficult for us to keep the keys of our typewriter from turning yellow. But as .we banged out the sensational news • for this edition, We restrained ourselves and kept the same conservative tone throughout our stories. We hope that this is how you .will remember us and our virtuous policies. As a final bit of school spirit, we wish to call the attention of all women students who reside in Bellingham to the news flash on Page 2. This problem of evacuating the dorm means action immediately, for the Navy will undoubtedly be fasNmoving... It is believed that the least each town girl could do to keep Edens' evacuees out of the streets is move her dog house out of the basement or garage and make room for a dormmate.at her place. • Also, all faculty members axe urged to seriously consider filling the vacancy of publications adviser. This is an excellent position involving no worries or responsibilities.

The information was made known when the windows of a small pasteboard cottage in the middle of the table lit up to disclose the secret. Miss Campbell is the daughter of Mrs. Bert May of this city and the groom-to-be is the son of Captain and Mrs. Dewey Gunderson of Seattle. No date for the wedding was given. The engagement of Miss Geral-dine Fegley, now a student of Washington State College, to Lieutenant Harlan Alfred Dunn of the Army Air Corps who is stationed in New Guinea, was announced traditionally to the members of the Pi Beta Pi sorority at the college this week. Miss Fegley attended WWC in 1942. The bride-to-be is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fegley of this city, and the prospective groom, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Dunn, also of this city. The young couple were classmates at college. Miss Delmarie Martin, former student of Marylhurst college, surprised her friends last Saturday afternoon by announcing her engagement; to Aviation Cadet Carl (Bud) Lobe USNR, at a luncheon party. Cadet Lobe, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lobe of this city, attended WWC in 1938 and 1939, and later transferred to the University of Washington, where he graduated. Miss Martin is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Marshall Martin, also of this city. • WAC Private Margaret E. Monteith, graduate of Western Washington college, donned traditional bridal attire for her marriage to Private Arnold F. Relay in Seattle recently. Private Monteith was the first member of the WAC in Seattle to take advantage of the new ruling allowing the members of the Corps the privilege of laying aside their uniform temporarily. The -bride taught school two years before enlisting last June. Both she and her husband are with the Training Aids Detachment, Chemical Warfare, Edgewood, Arsenal. Spring is the time when grass grows, birds sing, mares eat oats, and hearts flutter . . . Coming as a surprise to her many friends was the ring sported on the third finger left hand by Betty Woman of the Week This week's outstanding woman is noted for her lack of interest in the school. She is well liked , for0 her easy going attitude and ' carefree manner. Never seen with a book, she uses her "Ipana" smile to make, her professors appreciate her potential qualities. Although usually attired in baggy sweaters and unpressed skirts; she really is quite attractive when her dirty hair is coiled. Frequent whistles can be heard from male students as she swaggers down the halls. (It has been rumored that she is quite proficient at the art of wolfing.) It is rather hard to recognize our woman of the week at times because she usually has her hair up in a kerchief and is often mistaken for a Hindu. On second glance though, one can easily perceive her by her stature, (at present slightly plump due to- her vigorous appetite). And now it is time to reveal the name of this dynamic personality. It is none other than our editor, Pat Scott. Fisher this week. ( The ring is truly the envy of any gin, with a large stone in the center surrounded by smaller stones. It really shines! You say you're not engaged, Betty? Yes, we know, but that's a mighty fine pounded silver Mexican ring sent you by one J. Gil-day! §tuw and WiU • Ah! 'Tis spring! "In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love . . . ," but what would we know about that? Anyway, it's very evident what a young girl's fancy turns to—clothes. Have you seen Lorraine McCon-nell's latest spring creation? Well, its a luscious looking bright pink skirt with patch pockets—patches in purple of course! It's really quite striking when she wears it with her newest pale aqua blouse with the orange whipstitch collar. Spring Blossoms Bloom And then of course we musn't forget Lucille Easton. Spring quarter found her all blossomed out in a Kelly green-and white polka-dot peg top skirt with a red and yellow plaid top. The neckline is. square in front and quite low in back to conserve on material and to give the effect of broader shoulders. This new broader shoulder effect together with the slim lines of polka-dots give added height to What To Rend Series Inspiring; For Wark The Belle Toils Powers, Hawke Have Date Plan • Studying far too much, staying in far too often, being far too sensible and practical—in fact—the girls of WWC are not cutting up enough, they're not seeuig the rugged facts of life, they're blind to what lurks on street corners,—and the girls do, in fact, need a new plan to increase the number of their dates, and recreation in general. All said by.Miss Lorraine Powers, dean of women, and Miss Virginia Hawke, physical education instructor, who have even taken enough interest in this pressing problem to organize a new. deal whose only purpose will be more fun. With.no hesitancy, it will first be understood that no classes are compulsory and any girls found studying after 6 p. m. will be given a blind date immediately. Fun and men first, and studies last is the new motto. Miss Powers and Miss Hawke have also just finished a little survey and see no reason why any girl should lack a date. "Why, just last night," they said—"we went for a walk down town and found it extremely easy to—shall we say acquaint ourselves, to use loose terms." But, they added, for the more bashful girls, courses in "wolfing" will begin next week, with applications now acceptable in the Dean of Women's office. Cards, dancing, whistling, and cooking will all be taught. Lorraine and Virginia concluded by saying that the girls will be given every opportunity and no restrictions from now on and that they sincerely hope the girls will do something with themselves. "Get around" they ^say— "you're only young once." 7 Coming as a complete surprise to their friends and also members of the faculty was the elopement of two prominent personages on the campus of WWC—Mildred Tremain and Roy Wark. Miss Tremain, better known as "Millie" blushingly made known the news upon the return of the happy couple from a short honeymoon to Ferndale, Custer and other points north. When quizzed by interested friends as 'to the beginning of their courtship, the shy groom admitted v that he had greatly admired. Miss ferent—more sensible, more mature, more sophisticated than the average college co-ed. She didn't have that Leap year look in her eye." It is a well-known fact that Miss Tremain excels at athletics and tid-: dley-winks. She was recently elected a 4-letter woman in tiddley winks, to the honorary society "Associated Tiddley Winkers of America." Although they are now happily wedded, the young couple had quite a scare when annulment was, threatened. Mildred took her marriage vows dressed in traditional white satin Tremain since their chance meeting at a What-To-Read lecture.

But the plan will not be introduced unless a budget bill currently before the Senate fails towin approval, Sen. Ellen Craswell (R- 23rd Dist.) said Wednesday. The Kitsap County lawmaker issponsoring the no-new-taxes measure along with Reps. Dick Bond (R-6th Dist.) and Republican PatFiske, whose 40th district includes Western. The trio's proposal attempts to solve the state's estimated$l billion Financial shortfall by chopping state agencies' budgets an average 11 percent. In contrastto across-the-board spending cuts ordered by Gov. John Spellman, the proposed measure woulddecimate some programs while leaving others relatively unscathed. The proposal would save thestate $105 million in higher education expenditures by closing The Evergreen State College in Olym-pia, eliminating off-campus programs, stopping duplication of programs at some state schools andfiring some faculty at the remaining universities, Craswell said. Although designed primarily as a budget-slicing measure, the proposal also would raise revenue by enacting a 10 percent tuition hike beginningwinter quarter, she said. Under current statutes, the tuition hike would not take effect until summer.With the Craswell-Fiske-Bond proposal, resident tuition at Western and other regional universitieswould jump to $314 per quarter from the current $289. For nonresident undergraduates, tuition wouldsoar to $ 1,060 per quarter, up from the current $970. The plan would eliminate faculty members byrequiring the same number of student credit-hours to be taught by fewer instructors. Under a complexstate funding formula, the measure would reduce the number of teachers needed to 55 percent of apredetermined ideal student-teacher ratio. Funding now is at 72 percent, University President PaulOlscamp said. "The effect would be to dismiss scores of full-time faculty and make your education atravesty," he said in a phone interview Wednesday night. Craswell countered arguments that teachers already are carrying a full teaching load by suggesting most people work a 40-hour week, so it wouldnot be unreasonable to require college faculty to be in contact with students at least 20 hours a week. She said the proposal would increase the number of required contact hours to 18 to 20 per week upfrom the current 16-hour aver-continued on page three Urban Studies' faculty cut By CAROLYN CASEYIn a move that guts the Center for Urban Studies, the University Planning Council approved a proposal toeliminate the equivalent of half of the program's three faculty positions. At a meeting Wednesday, thecouncil passed a virtually unaltered proposal from Western's Executive Vice President James Talbot.Students offer 'free ride' By BONNIE HUCKINS While the state Legislature is grappling with a billion-dollar deficit, Western's Industrial Design Society (WIDS) is finding ways to make a buck. To supplement the group's $900-a-year budget, WIDS members are selling $1 .raffle tickets to raise money for supplies. President Cathy Williamson tells prospective buyers the $289 cash prize is "a free ride for winterquarter (tuition)," and many students are spending their last dollars on the gamble. "The second you say something about budget cuts, they immediately want to contribute," Williamson said. "They also want to take a chance at the free tuition, of course." WIDS' goal is to "fill in the gaps" created by lack of facultyand funds by raising money for supplies, field trips and speakers. "We're used to being poor,"Williamson, in her third year of the program, said. "This year we're doing something about it." MarvinSouthcott, the program's sole instructor, said he is used to not having any money. Budget cuts are "justkind of a shrug of the shoulders thing" to him. "We just say 'what's new?'" he said. "I have been limitedall along without the budget cuts." Southcott started teaching industrial design at Western in 1969 forhalf-a-dozen students. By 1974, enrollment had grown to 17, and he requested approval of an industrial design major within the technology department. The program now supports 74 majors and betweenlOOand 120 students per quarter. With only one faculty member, the industrial design program will not be affected by cuts in instructional time. But the program relies heavily on teachers in the technologydepartment, where two non-tenure track positions (in woods ana" metals) might be eliminated. Industrialdesign students would then "have to get that information somewhere else," Southcott said. "It's going toinhibit the quality of our graduates." Without hope of more faculty or money, Southcott said he will haveto limit the size of his rapidly expanding program through "quality attrition," or making sure studentscannot enter upper division courses without an interview and an acceptable portfolio. Southcott said theaim of his program is to train students to solve problems and produce. Southcott said the Legislatureshould "view higher education as making the state's salary," and keep that in mind when deciding whereand how much to cut. Williamson said he would glean more money for higher education by taxingcorporations who hire college graduates, "since they are the ones who benefit most from the education." WIDS'action in the face of the budget cuts is eliciting support from students who feel a solidarity withprograms suffering financially. Summing up students' feelings, ticket buyer Tom Sakura said, "I feel it'sworth a chance to win, and even if I lose, it's for a good cause â€” a school cause â€”so it's OK." Theproposal will eliminate 29.5 full-time equivalent faculty positions. The only changes the council madein Talbot's proposal softened the School of Education's cut-backs from eight-and-one-half positionseliminated to eight positions, and increased the College of Business and Economics cuts from one-half of one position to one position. The council was concerned with the survival of the Center for UrbanStudies and made several proposals in an effort to save it. One motion proposed the graduate programreduce an additional position, forcing it to face the loss of two positions. The Center for Urban Studieswould then gain the extra position and would only lose one-half of one position. That motion and oneother motion that would have softened the blow for the Center for Urban Studies failed. The Center forUrban Studies, based in Seattle, now employs three faculty members. The proposal will eliminate one-and-one- half of those positions. A memo from Talbot said that the reduction "effectively kills theprogram." He suggested that the Planning Council propose alternative methods to serve the needs ofthe students in that program. The Planning Council mentioned several -options but none weresubmitted as a formal proposal. Two of the ideas were to make the Center for Urban Studies a part ofFairhaven or the Human Services program. Other options involved the use of grants or faculty pay cuts to finance the program. The College of Arts and Sciences faces the heaviest cut, losing 14 full-timeequivalent faculty positions. Eight School of Education positions will be slashed. Talbot said it couldabsorb the cuts because of its constantly declining enrollment. Arnold Gallegos, Dean of the School ofEducation, attributed the declining enrollment to the loss of Canadian students at Western after theirstatus changed to outr of-state students, increasing their tuition. According to Gallegos, four of thepositions eliminated will be taken from the Human Services Program. This will leave the program withone faculty position. The School of Education will staff the program with faculty from related programs.Gallegos said the Human Services program "will be scaled down considerably." The council's proposal will eliminate two-and-one-half positions from the College of Fine and Performing Arts. One positionwill be cut from Fairhaven College and Huxley College will lost one-half of one position. The proposalwas approved with an apparent sense of frustration. One council member commented that during thestate's budget crisis, the prison system is still getting full funding. "Since prisons are getting 100percent funding . . . we should rename this Western Washington Prison," he said. The council'sproposal will be sent to the deans to decide on the allocations of the reductions within their departments. The deans will present their breakdowns of the reductions at the Dec. 3 Board of Trustees meeting. ---------- Western Front - 1981 November 20 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1981 TV's plug pulled by library budget slice ByLAURIE DONALDSON The curtain may close on Western View, aj student-operated television station atWestern, because of cuts and confusion in the Education Media department. Alfred Smith, broadcastinstructor and director of Western View, said that program might not continue operating because of thetermination of a crucial staff position. " "We're telling students that are registering for broadcast classesto go ahead and sign up, with the hope that the administrators will get the money to continue theprogram," Smith said. Currently, 25 students are directly involved in the television program while many more students who use the equipment in the department may be affected. The technician position,responsible for film editing and equipment operation, will beeliminatedDec.il. Brad Richfield, a nine-yearveteran in the technician's position, received his layoff notice two weeks ago. His job as a televisionequipment operator includes editing film for Western View and also for other departments who use thestudios. According to ed media records, the technology department and Western View accounted for1183 hours of television studio use out of the 2007.5 hours total last year. Education, art, physicaleducation and 27 other departments use the television studios. "I think it's devastating," Peter Hovenier,of the education department, said. About 225 of his students use the studios for video work to developteaching skill, he added. "I don't have the skills," Hovenier said, to edit the films his students use topractice skills. Editing film is Richfield's responsibility. Evelyn Wiseman, of the physical educationdepartment, also uses the studios for methods teaching. "If I can do it, I would still like to show thevideotapes. They're built into my courses," she said. Several of her tests are based on video work done in the studio. Alden Smith, of the speech department, teaches broadcast speech. He said about 120students use the facility each year and he needs someone with editing ability to conduct classeseffectively. With the exception of Alfred Smith's salary, the ed media department, of which thetelevision studios are a part, is funded through the Wilson Library budget. Library Director Robert Lawyersaid he is not responsible for Western View's possible demise or the cuts to the program. He added that the studio is a laboratory and should be funded through the instructional budget. "I've been a niceguy," he said, because that budget area was not billed for operating costs. ' The main television studiohas $250,000 worth of equipment and the alcove where Western View is produced has more than$100,000 of equipment, Smith said. Lawyer said he thinks the studio can be left open without anequipment technician. He said students can teach other students or other department members can fillin. According to ed media records, Richfield currently is performing 2700 work hours per year. Thestandard work hours for his position is 2088 hours. "Maybe we could struggle through anotherquarter but we need someone to handle the editing," Alfred Smith said. Brad Richfield Brian Lind ACCamends RIF on students' behalf By MIKE BROTHERTON For students who work summers to supporttheir education, a potential Catch-22'in Western's recently approved RIF plan has been spotted andmediated. The voluntary summer shift feature, designed to preserve money for 10 faculty positionsfrom summer quarter overtime, asks 40 Western professors to trade one academic quarter of instructionfor full teaching loads summer session. "It occurred to us (the ACC) a possible shift of courses(resulting from the shift in faculty) might create a hardship for some students," Ruth Weiner,Academic Coordinating Commission chairman, said Tuesday. All matters concerning curriculum arewithin ACC's purview, its charter states. The ACC concern: What does a student who has to workbetween spring and fall do, if because of the faculty shift, a needed classâ€”previously offered duringthe academic yearâ€”becomes available only in the summer? The ACC agreed on the need to amendthe summer shift proposal, but it took 30 minutes to reach an agreement on the wording of such anamendment. Although subject to a Faculty Senate review, the proposal, as amended, states facultyvolunteering for off-season duty "should not"teach required-for-graduation classes summer quarter ifthose courses are not offered in the academic year. Exceptions are allowed for those subjectstraditionally taught only during the summer. The amendment's "should not" qualifier leaves open thepossibility a student might still have to attend summer session to meet university graduationrequirements, Executive Vice President and ACC member James Talbot said after the meeting. Thecommission's amendment serves more as a guideline than a prohibitive rule, he added. As submittedby University President Paul Olscamp and unanimously approved by Western's Board of TrusteesNov. 5, the RIF plan's summer shift provision means 20 faculty, not 30, will receive their pink slips. Inessence, Western instructors who taught summer classes received overtime pay, Talbot said. Thisincome supplement comparatively equaled 25 percent of their yearly salaries, he said. Instead of 130faculty members teaching summer quarter, should 40 professors volunteer to give up one academicterm, only 90 will draw this overtime, he explained. The university would then be able to confirm 10 full-time faculty positions. On the subject of potential consequences to academic-year class sizes, hepredicted the shift of 40 faculty should not cause overcrowding. Decreased enrollment because of higher tuition-will account for a reduction of 660 students from the current campus population, a drop sufficientto offset the decline in faculty from any particular quarter, he said. A positive aspect of the summershift proposal is the diversity new summer faculty will bring to Western's off-season, Weiner said. -Quicklyâ€”^ Lost and found closed for finals The campus lost and found department will be closed Dec. 7, 8 and 9 during finals week.

Goltz proposes new bill to stop sales-tax loopholes By MITCH EVICH Millions ofdollars are sapped from state revenues each year through various sales-tax loopholes, and Sen. H.A."Barney" Goltz (D-42nd Dist.) wants that stopped. The Bellingham lawmaker introduced a bill in theSenate Ways and Means Committee Monday that, would close such loopholes, adding about $300million in revenues during the remaining 19 months of the current biennium. Goltz also proposed a billtaxing intangible property such as stocks, bonds and mineral-leasing rights. The bill would apply onlyto out-of-state transfers, thus encouraging local investment, Goltz said. .. The proposal to close sales-tax loopholes, Senate Bill 4450, would end exemptions on retail sales of airplanes, trains, boats, and theirparts. Exemptions also would be discontinued for interstate commerce, real estate transactions, sales to non-residents, auction sales of certain agricultural goods and sales to Alaska, Hawaii and U.S.territories. Goltz said the bill represents an alternative to increased taxes, more budget cuts andborrowing as a means of solving the state financial crisis. He added he did not think any tax bill notalready under consideration by the Legislature had much chance of passing during the special session,which began Nov. 9. But he said it was important the Legislature be presented with revenue-raisingalternatives between now and January, when the regular session begins. "I think we must put out in front of us any idea that we can," Goltz said. "We've got to consider all the possibilities." Goltz said hebelieved SB4450 represents a better method of increasing revenue rather than raising the sales tax onecent, a proposal favored by Speaker of the House James Polk. Goltz also said he was adamantlyopposed to any increase in property tax. "I think property taxes are a very unfair way to raise generalrevenues," Goltz said. "Just because a person is a property owner, it doesn't mean that they are capableof paying extra taxes. To me, it just doesn't make sense." Goltz said it is too early to tell how muchsupport either of his bills will receive. They first must go through a public hearing, he said. ---------- Western Front - 1981 November 20 - Page 3 ---------- Schools distressed FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1981 WESTERN FRONT 3 Cuts cause departmentdepression As departments continue to plan for 10.1 percent reductions, Western's School ofEducation and College of Arts and Sciences face severe cuts in instructional power. The School ofEducation and College of Arts and Sciences might have to reduce 14 and seven faculty respectively tocomply with a $7 million funding slash ordered by Gov. John Spellman. "It is important to point out thedevelopmental process," said Richard Starbird, chairman of the School of Education. "With theLegislature in special session the situation changes every day. We are presently in a process in which-Financial aid cuts draw little protest by students By MIKE STODDARD The Associated Students' firstattempt to organize a campus protest against an impending $162 million federal cut in financial aid got off to a slow start Wednesday. Only a handful of the 800 Western students now receiving aid attended themeeting, designed to bring together a group of interested students and create a grass roots organizationto protest the cuts. Bob Sizemore, AS vice president for academic affairs, said the primary function^ofthe new group would be to provide a channel students could use to communicate with theirrepresentatives to protest the proposed financial cuts. A primary project of the new group will be tosupport a U.S-. House bill providing $3.8 billion for financial aid during the 1982-83 academic year.This amount would be divided among five separate aid programs: basic grants, supplemental grants,national direct loans, college work study and state grants, Financial Aid Director Wayne Sparks said.The House bill would provide $43 million more than the latest U.S. Senate appropriation bill, which allots$3.37 billion for student aid in 1982-83. "The Senate will be voting on their version this Friday," Sizemoresaid. "It's a shame that we won't be able to have an effect on that decision, but it's all the more reason tosupport the House bill." Besides cutting back sharply on the direct loans and supplemental grants, theSenate version would eliminate the incentive grants program, which provides matching funds for stateneed grants. Approximately $80 million would be cut by the Senate from the supplemental grants and $100 million from national direct loans. "It's obvious that these cuts are going to affect a lot of people,"Sizemore added. "We want to get this group started right away if we hope to have some effect in thedecision-making policies of the House and Senate." GOP tough on colleges Wayne Sparks The groupwill meet again after Thanksgiving and try to build support among the 800 affected students at Western.Sizemore is optimistic about the goals of the new group. He blamed low attendance on lack of publicityand the fact that many people interested in the financial aid budget cuts have also been participating inthe Students Opposed to Reductions in Education (SORE) group. continued from page one age at most regional universities. "I don't think Sen. Craswell has the slightest understanding of higher education atall, and she should know better because her brother (in-law) is a professor of mathematics here,"Olscamp replied tersely after the Front told him of Craswell's comments. Craswell stressed theproposal will not be introduced as a bill unless the current Senate budget bill, which proposes an overall5 percent cut, fails to gather enough support for passage from legislators split between tax hikes andspending cuts. "We felt a no-tax-increase was the way to go and it should be put together," she said. "If everything fell apart and they couldn't get votes (for the current budget bill) then I suppose this could beintroduced," she added. Several other senators have expressed support for the bill, she said, but "I'm not trying to imply we have a majority of support for it." The proposal was presented to Gov. John Spellman Tuesday, but Spellman declined comment after "listening intently" to the plan, Craswell said.

The School of Education already has eliminated two-and-one- half secretarial positions, resulting in less service forstudents. The cuts probably will result in larger classes and possibly a reduction in some courseofferings, Starbird said. "In our department, everyone is under a contract until at least through June. Weare presently trying to identify who to notify by Sept. I. Probably by (this) winter quarter the faculty willknow who will not be returning," Starbird said. Administrators in the School of Education are considering various options, such as a "summer transfer" plan, in which faculty members would teach during thesummer instead of fall, spring or winter quarter. Another more likely plan involves cutting several non-tenure track faculty members, about 10 percent of its total faculty, Star-ibird said. The School ofEducation already has its graduate program severely affected by the increase in , out-of-state tuition,losing many of its Canadian students. A loss of students means a loss of credit ihours, and a loss ofcredit hours means less funding, Starbird said. Another area that will be hit hard if the 10.1 percent cutis [approved would be the student teaching program. The nearly 200 undergraduates who participate inthe program may find themselves on a longer waiting list, as cuts in faculty mean less availablesupervisors for the program. "But, if the cuts are no deeper than 4.5 percent, we will be able to meetall our overall obligations. We hope it won't be too bad," Starbird said. The College of Arts andSciences will lose 14 positions and also is now considering which departments will receive the cuts, with faculty members being notified of the cuts in January. The cuts will result in heavier loads forteachers and larger classes for students. The college already has eliminated 76 classified positions."The upcoming cuts have made many faculty members depressed and anxiety-ridden. Education isbeing treated as a second-class citizen," Davis said. No one knows what the outcome of the specialLegislative session will be, or whether the cuts will be 4.5 percent, 10.1 percent or somewhere inbetween. But, Davis has "lunch and dinner bets" going that it will be less than 5 percent. Star-birdpredicts less than I0.1 but greater than 4.5 percent. And finally, Arnold Gallegos, the Dean of the School of Education, had this to say: "What's that saying by Will Rogers? Whenever Congress is in session no man, woman or child is safe."

Pat Fiske (R-40th) one of Western's new legislators, was doing lastweek when no one could find him. He was co-authoring the most moronic bill to hit the special legislativesession so far. Fiske and co-authors Sen. Ellen Craswell, (R.- 23rd) and Rep. Dick Bond, (R.-6th) want to cut the state budget by 11 percent. Among other things, they would close The Evergreen State College, require college professors to work longer hours and cut state welfare payments by 15 percent. The threeRepublicans have overlooked the "minor" details of their plan, such as whether welfare recipients wouldbe able to survive after their fourth cut within one year. Heartless is the kindest thing this plan can becalled. Fiske has demonstrated a talent for converting food and clothing for the state's needy into dollarsfor the general fund, so businessmen like himself will not have to pay more taxes. We can only hope themore sane legislators will not get tired enough to vote for this smelly mess of a budget bill. Olympia asks for unsafe abortions The state House this week decided to put the back-alley butchers back inbusiness. In a major step against women's rights, legislators voted 49-47 to let needy women fend forthemselves with an amendment outlawing state-funded abortions. As if that was not enough, they also approved a measure that would deny welfare money to destitute pregnant women who decide to bear the child they carry. Aside from graphically illustrating how mean-spirited many lawmakers can be, thisghastly measure spotlights the ultimate hypocrisy of the conservative "get-government-off-oiir-backs"shibboleth. While hard-right Republicans such as House Speaker Bill Polk scramble to find new waysto help corporate America maximize profits, they show no restraint at regulating women's bodies. It isanother . example of how President Reagan's so-called "mandate for change" actually is an overt,arrogant agenda, of indifference to the plight of the poor. If this bill is passed into law, where will a broke,desperate woman turn? She cannot work. She does not qualify for welfare. She cannot afford to bear achild. She probably will turn to a brutal quack for a life-threatening, kitchen-table abortion. But Rep. Roger Van Dyken, of Whatcom County, obviously ignored this sickening scenario when he decided tosponsor the heartless amendment. In a sermon on the House floor in behalf of the measure, VanDyken said his motive was not to save the state money. "What matters is the fact that each year we will terminate the right to life of 5,000 unborn human beings," he said. News reports indicate that the stateSenate will accord a hostile reception to this irrational, contradictory amendment. If so, low-incomeresidents of Washington might be spared an especially ugly side of the Reagan revolution. Beginshopping now for Easter Once again 'tis the season of holidays. But what is the next holiday weshould celebrate? Is it time to hang stockings by the chimney with care? Or is it time to bake pumpkinpie? Maybe we should look for a leprechaun's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. One can never bequite sure what holiday to prepare for when bombarded by commercialism in the stores, and ontelevision and radio. Advertising begins months in advance to get us in gear for the upcoming fiesta. Itcan be confusing. For instance, last month I went shopping for Halloween decorations, but it wasnot easy. They were not at the front of the store â€”goodness, it was the week before Halloween! Theywere behind the shelves of Christmas stockings, candy canes, snowmen and sleighs. Stores want toget us "in the mood" for the season with their early advertising, but we know they really just want toincrease their profits by having a reason to sell something and as much time as possible to sell it. Thispre-holiday commercialism is contributing to a loss in traditions and a headache for the public. So if you have not learned yet, you had better do your Christmas shopping soon, for by December the EasterBunny will be hopping through every store. â€” Judy Redenbaugh The Western Front Editor: JimSegaar; Managing Editor: Lloyd Pritchett; News Editor: Abby Haight; Feature Editor: Mark Carlson;Opinion Editor: Terry M.

Not since the Vietnam era havestudents made themselves heard so clearly. But "student activism" and its often-used opposite"student apathy," are vague terms. We are told by student leaders that after years of apathy we areonce again active. But we are never told what these terms actually mean. In recent years, when we have been called apathetic, student activists have been left searching for a' cause. Nuclear power,environmental degradation and American involvement in El Salvador are all objects of some studentprotest, but none have gained widespread support. Most students do not consider the issues worthy ofthe attention their advocates give them. But to decide not to participate in something does notnecessarily indicate apathy, for one of college's purposes is to teach people to think independently. A person who decides against participation in a political movement because he disagrees with its aimsdemonstrates this ability better than someone who, like an obsequious sheep, blindly supports themovement. When people speak of student activism, they are referring to students united behind acommon cause, in this case, fighting the-budget cuts. The meaning of apathy is more difficult to clarify.Webster's dictionary defines it as "a lack of emotion, indifference, listlessness,"but when applied tostudent behavior, it often means lack of activism." Since students of the past decade did not unitebehind any specific issue, some refer to them as "apathetic." Student activism advocates fail to make a distinction between - those students who are uninterested in the activists' political views, and thosewho disagree with them. By branding others as apathetic, they imply that the only view worth caringabout is their own. The reason that student activism did not manifest itself in the last decade, of course, was no issue was worthy of unilateral student support. It is unrealistic to expect college students(.0 rally behind any liberal cause that happens^to gain notoriety. Only when an issue of pervasive andoverwhelming concern arises, such as the budget crisis, can student unity, and thus studentactivism, be achieved. -Mitch Evich ---------- Western Front - 1981 November 20 - Page 5 ---------- Letters FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1981 WESTERN FRONT 5 Goltz spends, but talks thrift WesternFront: It is unfortunate that the Professor/Sen. Goltz has chosen these troubled times to springboardhis political ambitions. We need understanding and cooperation â€” not political posturing andopportunism. The acute funding difficulties in higher education and in the entire state rise directly fromthe effects of runaway inflation. The inflation was fueled by past-President Carter when he franticallysprayed an already overheated economy with welfare dollars and reckless programs of tremendouscost and doubtful value. The now vitriolic Sen. Goltz gleefully squandered $410 million windfall surplusthat spendthrift national policies had driven into the state tax coffers. It is not a coincidence that ourpresent real cash flow problem approximates the $410 million surplus we enjoyed two short years ago. The senator is half right â€” the problem stems in part from the state Legislature. It stems from theLegislature in.which Sen. Goltz held a majority leadership position. The sins of the fathers are indeedbeing visited upon the children. â€”Homer Lundquist State Representative (R-40th Dist.) - Educationleads to better life Western Front: I am writing in response to the front page article "Faculty: PoliciesThreaten Society." If I understand the reasoning, the argument is that the university must bepreserved, not because we want to keep our jobs, but because the well-being of society depends upon us. The university is justified, in other words, because we are training future leadership. Who couldargue with the view that intelligence is better than stupidity, that a clear vision of reality is better thanignorance, that good is better than bad? Other than a few fans of D.H. Lawrence, most of us would agree that education can improve the quality of life in a society by influencing the people who lead it. This has been the prevailing belief of our society, evidenced by such obvious facts as the presence of WesternWashington University. Yes, it has taken a long time to build the educational system we find from coastto coast. But whether we like it or not, the fact is that this system has been built with tax dollars. Those of us on faculty are not self-employed entrepreneurs operating our own businesses. We areemployees: We have a boss. The boss is society. Society is firing us from our job of training futureleadership. Two possibilities seem obvious: (1) the boss is firing us because we have not done a good job, or (2) the boss is stupid. It is not impossible that the boss is stupid. But it is also possible that theboss is tired of the fact that our answer to criticism is the rather arrogant assertion that the boss isstupid. Perhaps society looks at the nuclear arms race, pollution of the environment, and the decline ofliteracy, to name the first three evidences of mass ignorance that come to my mind, and sees theseproblems as the result of university-trained leadership. Is it not possible that we have been so sure that we have the answers that we have been unwilling to accept responsibility for the economy as it hasbeen managed by university-trained economists, for dwindling resources as they have been man-Regional Distributor Georg Grasst, Inc.

But Western's Executive VicePresident James Talbot said actions against faculty or staff would occur only if the administration is"forced to." The notice read: "Faculty and staff are reminded that if they participate in the student-organized rally in Olympia on Friday...they must take vacation leave on that day." "I'm not going tocheck every class to make sure it's there," Talbot said when asked if he would try to discover whichprofessors attended the rally and had not obtained vacation leave. But if a professor attended the rally,and did not re-schedule his classes, the administration might take action against him by docking a day's pay. Talbot stressed that Western's faculty are "professionals" and would re-schedule any classesmissed. "I don't assume any malfeasance at all," he said. About 15 Western faculty and 10 staffmembers attended the rally to protest higher education cuts and lobby their legislators. Seven of thefaculty contacted had not received vacation leave. The three staff members contacted had been grantedleave. Staff personnel must apply for vacation leave according to staff board rules.

He said the librarian hasalready been selected for the job, which requires a Masters degree in library science. Mather said iffaculty members were laid off one of them that is qualified might be able to bump the new librarian fromthe job. He added that a laid off faculty member having the qualifications for the job is highly unlikely. But three library technicians, who are all waiting for their pink slips, could be assigned for the staff position.One of the three is already on the library technician list and the other two have been urged to try and geton the list, Mather said. -, Those three employees would go to the top of the technicians' list if they arelaid off.

But the Skagit County lawmaker, whose district recently was expanded to includeWestern, acknowledged neither bill has much chance of passing during the current emergencylegislative session. The revenue measures "are being introduced at this time so that they can receivestrong attention in the regular session of the Legislature beginning in January," Peterson said. A 60percent majority vote in each House of the Legislature is required before the lottery measure couldbecome law, under a 1972 amendment to the state constitution. Prior to that, lotteries were illegal inWashington state. Peterson estimated the lottery measure would bring in revenues of about $20 milliona year, while the slot machine bill would yield the state about $15 million to $20 million annually. Butanother local legislator. Sen. H. A. "Barney" Goltz (D- 42nd Dist.), said the gambling bills are not theanswer to the state's fiscal problems. He said the relatively small amount of revenue the measuresmight bring in is far short of that needed to balance the state budget, estimated to be out of whack byabout $1 billion. The. Bellingham lawmaker, whose district included Western until the state's politicalboundaries were redrawn this spring, said a lottery would lull people into believing a solution had been found while actually doing very little. A lottery "makes the whole thing look like it is done with mirrors and games. They (sponsors of the bill) should be more serious about the problem," Goltz said. Headded that buyers of lottery tickets traditionally are the poor and that a lottery would "tend to be a tax on the poorer people." ---------- Western Front - 1981 November 20 - Page 7 ---------- ^mOAYit!^yEMB!ER20;^9B1 WESTERN-FRONT -7 Revolution sinks Chinese fishing fleet By JACKLEENASMUSSEN Ingenuity and financial backing took Andy Mangan to China this summer to study thecountry's 2,500 miles of costal fishing villages. Mangan, a 26-year old reporter for Fisherman's News,spoke at Western Wednesday about his experiences in a country which, for the past 30 years, hasbeen closed to the West. "The only way to get into China is to go with a tour or be invited," Mangansaid. He wrote a letter to Xinhua, the official Chinese news agency, requesting a tour of the Chinesecoast and marine fishing industry. No one had requested such a visit for decades, Mangan said. Xinhuaarranged the essentials, provided the interpreters and, sponsored by his paper, Mangan toured for onemonth "with three cameras around my neck all the time," he said. "Although the Chinese are famous for their inflexible schedules, I wasn't restricted and went every place I wanted to go," he said. Incontrast tothe austerity of the cultural revolution from 1966 to 1976, Mangan said the people of Chinaseemed "happy and hopeful. "The transfer of power to Deng . Xiaoping from Mao is bringing aboutrapid changes, he said. "You can see the excitement that is going on with the change in leadership,"Mangan said, describing the people as "released, with a kind of freedom." Mangan said he wasimpressed with Chinese ideas and thinking. The Chinese have entered into joint ventures such as fishing with German boats using Chinese manpower and fishing knowlege. Profits are split, he said.Based on his visits to fishing Tuition bill advances A -Republican-sponsored bill calling for more tuitionhikes at state colleges and universities headed for the House floor this week after receiving clearancefrom the lower house's rules committee. The measure, which also calls for drastic cuts in the state'snewest student loan program and eliminates fee waivers for foreign students, the handicapped andothers, was slated for its second reading before the state House Wednesday. Several lawmakers arepreparing amendments to the budget-balancing bill, which already has gone through numerousrevisions, members of the House higher education staff said. But legislators are remining tight-lippedabout what the amendments would do, staff. members added. Under terms of the bill, introduced atthe request of Gov. John Spellman, graduate tuition at Western and other regional universities wouldjump to $1,420 per year from the current $996 for resident students. For non-resident graduates,tuition would skyrocket to an estimated $5,115 a year, up from the current $3,435. In addition, thebill would push up tuition for undergraduates taking heavy credit loads and appropriate $7 million instudent loan funds for use by the state. Branding the confiscation of student loan money as "robbery,"Rep. Dan Grimm (D-25th Dist.) said it was nothing more than a tuition hike in disguise. villages andfleets, Mangan .said the fishing industry was "in deep trouble." During the cultural revolution,maximum food production was stressed so that the inshore waters were harvested with whatamounted to "vacuum cleaner nets," he said. Consequently, traditional fish stocks, such as croakerand hairtail, were severely depleted. "Overkill wiped out the fishing resources," Mangan said. "What isleft is a fleet of old-fashioned wood junks which have no ability to go farther out than in-shore to thefishing grounds." The Chinese government now is procrastinating in dealing with the captured fisheries,Mangan said. But it is placing emphasis on aqua-culture â€” prawns, clams, oysters and scallops â€”because it is a more reliable method of food production, he said. He added the importance ofproducing food to a country of one billion people comes second only to the problem of unemployment."The cultural revolution was devastating to the Chinese," Mangan said. "People who were sent to thecountryside to be re-educated in the rice paddies and tea plantations are coming back to the cities.The influx of people has caused, bad unemployment." Unemployment causes another problem within the fishing industry. Fish processing is done by an old-fashioned method, using manual power ratherthan machines to fillet three-inch fish by hand. "The processing'is inefficient when a simple machinewould increase production 10 times," Mangan said. But because of the jobs a machine would replace,the government is bringing in machines at a slow rate. "They (the Chinese) want to modernize fast, butcan't," he said. The fishing fleet needs updating as well, but because currency is "soft" and can be used only within the country, equipment and boats must be purchased within China. Advanced equipmentsuch as sonar, necessary for deep-water fishing, is not available in quantity or quality in China. Mangansaid the Chinese expressed great interest in making contacts in the United States. He said peopleasked him virtually everywhere he travelled to "build bridges for us," in hopes of increasing trade andexchanging knowlege between the countries. OFF ANY LARGE VENUS PIZZA T.M.

Col urn bo he's not By DAN BOYLE Todayhad been a slow day for John Robertson. He has not spied on unfaithful husbands. He has not gatheredevidence for upcoming murder trials. He has not searched for abducted children. All he has done today is write a few letters to possible witnesses of an automobile accident. With all this spare time today,Robertson, one of the two licensed private detectives in Bellingham, took a break at the Viking AdditionCoffee Shop. Contrary to the popular stereotype of private eyes, Robertson was not wearing a dirtytrenchcoat, gun holster or bandages on his face. Instead, a long leather coat and blue jeans framed histall, lanky body. "Here's my card," he said with a huge grin that created skin lines curving from the sidesof his mouth to his temples. The card read, "Huffman and Associates â€” Investigators." Robertson,38, has been a private detective for one year. He recently bought his business from his onetime boss,Sam Huffmann, who now lives in Seattle. Robertson was a parole officer for five years-before deciding thelife of a private investigator would be challenging. He said his background in the criminal justice systemand his work with law enforcement officers make him highly qualified for this line of work. "I work wellwithin a structured system," he said. "I guess I have a lot of authoritarian characteristics, although withthis job I'm not so much an authoritative figure as I was before. "I don't see my job as particularlyglamorous though, like Columbo or other TV detectives," he continued. "But I like it because I like towork around the law and with people. 1 also like being devious. It's like playing games." Robertson saidmost of his work involves gathering evidence, witnesses and statements for attorneys in upcomingmurder trials. Each month, however, one or two of Robertson's cases will involve spying on a unfaithfulspouse, he said. In this type of case, Robertson said he usually is hired by a woman who knows herhusband is secretly having an affair. She knows she will need solid evi-dence. of h^,j gt;hfland^ering-'toestablish settlements of child custody and property ownership favorable to her during the divorce case.Although Robertson said he does not like to help break up marriages, he admitted that at times heenjoys working on this type of case. "The ones who are really fun are those guys who are paranoid evenwhen they don't know you're spying on them," he said. Robertson said he once tracked a man whoconstantly switched cars to hide any evidence of his extramarital gymnastics. The man, telling hisfamily he was going to work, left home in his own car. Parking the car in the alley, the cheating husbandthen jumped into a rented car. After many futile attempts to find the man, Robertson finally discoveredthe back alley. He followed the man to Ferndale, where the man transfered to another rented car torendezvous with his mistress. "That guy was paying a fortune a month in rent-a-cars," Robertson said. In other cases of this type, Robertson said he has been hired by people who will do anything to visitvengence upon their husbands or wives, such as slandering their reputations. "These people arepissed," he said. "They've been true and faithful and they want to strike back. A divorce isn't goodenough. This is the time when I back out of the case." When spying on a philandering husband,Robertson said he must record the time, place, date and everything that happens. He sees if the manis touching another woman, kissing her or just having a friendly conversation. He notices if she rides off in his car. "There's only so many reasons for a guy and a girl to drive off together," he said. When he is tracking someone for several days, Robertson said he must switch cars. Otherwise, that person mightbecome suspicious. But he does not wear any disguises. "I won't misrepresent myself," he said. If heever is caught by people he has spied on, he said he casually will tell them he has been paid to followthem, without saying who hired him. Then he will quit the case. Another type of case that Robertsonreceives several times each year deals with abductions. Most of these involve a man stealing hischildren from his former Wife.lRobertson is hired by the woman to^find them. But he said he has beenasked to solve other abductions as well.

It turned out sheactually had been out with another guy," he said. The members of Huffman and Associates includeRobertson and his secretary, who also is his wife. Robertson said he would not reveal her name "because of the type of people we deal with." Although she works at home and he works wherever the evidenceleads him, he does own an office in the Bellingham National Bank building at Cornwall and Holly streets.The spare headquarters contains only a table, file cabinet and phone. It has no chairs. They are notnecessary, Robertson said, because he spends only about 30 minutes there a day. Robertson said hehas worked up to 18 cases at one time. He is handling five cases at the moment, but even now he cando nothing until some evidence appears or until he is able to speak to a witness. This makes work verysporadic, he said. His business also is risky because he easily can be put in jail for finding evidenceillegally or withholding evidence from police. He said he only will pursue his cases through the law."Probably the biggest challenge to this profession is getting evidence legally," he said. He added thatsome private detectives will break into a house for evidence, but he will not.

Later, Sell sighed, "Iknew she'd only be temporarily happy." But word has it that Sell's 18- month-old daughter, Elizabeth, isplanning to apply for the Front's arts editor position. Her father would neither confirm or deny theunsubstantiated report, but did say "she has gained quite a lot of experience as weekend copy editorat the Wha.com Weekly Times." If a professional journalist who still wears diaper's sounds strange, one must consider the wide-ranging experience and consummate know-how of her father. The storybegins in the vast wastelands of Renton, Wash.-, where Sell spent his formative years. Sell movedwith his family to the even-vaster wastelands of Saudi Arabia, where he graduated from high school in1976. Back in the United States, Sell attended Highline Community College, where he was editor of theprize-winning school newspaper, the Thunder,word, lor more than a year. After taking his AssociateDegree at Highline, Sell spent two years at the West Seattle Herald, where he edited the sports pages.More recently, Sell has been a copy editor and opinion editor at the Front, and a part-time sports writerat Brand X. Baker ski area to open By CASEY MADISON Avid skiers find it hard not to think aboutskiing on a clear, warm day, when they look eastward and see a . pristine, snow-capped Mount Baker.But this weekend, thoughts of carving through vir gin powder become reality. The area needed 16 to 18inches of snow at the base for skiing to begin, Duncan Howat, ski area manager said. But storms withinthe last week dumped the needed snow. Snow-starved skiers hope the coming winter will bring abundant snowfall. According to the 1982 Farmer's almanac, "The winter (for the Pacific Northwest) will be milderand drier than usual, but with greater than normal snowfall despite a dry December and January." By last Thursday, no snow was at the base level, Howat said. Howat said he is planning some operationalchanges this season at Mt. Baker. For those who do not enjoy Friday classes something new ishappening, Howat said. The area will be open every Friday during January, February and March. An adult, all-day, all-lift ticket will cost $ 14.50 this season compared to last season's price, $ 13.50, Howat said. A free rope tow for beginners will be available December 5 through April 12. This might make getting a"skier's high" a little easier for novices. A $1 million expansion of "the ski area is underway, but theadditions will not be completed this season, Howat said. First to be completed by next season will be anew parking lot, which will accomodate 1,000 vehicles, he said. A shuttle bus from Bellingham to thearea is planned for this winter, Howat said. The amount of skier Interest will determine the shuttle busschedule. He said interested persons should contact the Mt. Baker ski area office. Bob Clements,Western's Ski Club president, said ih lt;* club will offer a students'"ski van to Mount Baker on Fridaysduring winter quarter. Students wanting"more information on the ski van and other ski club activitiesshould phone Clements at 671-4497, he said.

"With These Hands . . ."is in its final stage of production, said Steve Smith, whowrote, directed and produced the film. Final editing and sound mixing must be' completed beforerelease copies jean be made and distributed, he said. The film follows the man as his search ends andhe shoots the man responsible for the murder. But he soon becomes caught in a web of violence he hasstarted. The film company includes actors Frank Tabbita and Dennis Fox, both of whom worked.onthe. Western production of "Grease," Marica McCandless and Scott Dennis from the academy. BobBenson composed and performed the film's soundtrack and Jamie Troater was director of photography. Smith said the film is costing $150 a minute, which he is paying. He said using a student crew andWestern's Audio/Visual Center has helped to keep costs down. . Smith said he plans to enter the,production in film contests and to sell it to cable and other non-commercial television stations. Smithsaid he sees the film as a start to a career in film-making. "It's a portfolio film," he said, "and acompetition film." Smith is an industrial technology major at Western. "That's my realistic sideshowing through," he said. "It takes a lot of capital to start making a movie." David Gilmore, aninterdisciplinary arts major at Western, also plans to use the film to start a filmmaking career.Intending to attend the University of Southern California film school, Gilmore sees his job as stagehand of the film as "a place to start." "I plan on starting wherever I can," he said. "I don't have anydelusions on it happening directly." Gilmore also is a member of the Associated Students board, andplans to use the experience he gains toward his film career. "Any good producer is a good administrator," :he said. Smith said he plans to have the film completed by next year and hopes to be able to show iton campus soon after completion.

Hands Walker steals the basketball and dribbles uncontested down the court for an easylay-up â€” but misses! The home team loses. Slugger Malone steps up to the plate in the final inning ofthe final game of the World Series. "If I strike out, we lose," he thinks. "Will I strike out?" He does. Field Goal Freddy watches his teammates move the football down to the four-yard line. "Make thetouchdown," he yells. "Don't put me in a do-or-die situation," he thinks. But, he is called in and missesthe field goal. Athletics are as psychological as they are physical, but until recently â€¢ only thephysical aspect received attention. Today, a variety of new techniques are practiced by athletes tosoothe fears, increase concentration and keep relaxed. Self-hypnosis is one technique. In Bellingham, athletes who wish to peak mentally can go to one of three learning centers that teaches self-hypnosis.Sharon Kennedy, director of the Professional Counseling and Hypnosis Center in Bellingham, said ;self-hypnosis can help athletes to stop thinking negatively about upcoming performances. "The more you tend to worry . about doing something wrong, the more you're apt to do" something wrong," she said."In tennis, if you tend to worry about double- NEW IMAGE SALONS The Inflation Busters. â€¢ Qualityat Affordable Prices Perms 21.95 Style-cuts 7.00 Shampoo sets 5.95 All other services at inflation-buster prices Appointments and walk-ins welcome INSIDE THE 733-2860 BELLINGHAM MALL Hours IMon.-Fri. 9-9 Sat. 9-6 'faulting, then you increase your chances of double-faulting." This negative thinking â€” about losing or about sore muscles â€” is called inner dialogue, Kennedy, said. Such dialogueferments in an athlete's subconscious, often leading to a bad performance. "The subconsciousaccepts things uncritically," Kennedy said. "It causes you to do what it's programmed to do." Self-hypnosis combats this inner dialogue by teaching the athlete to think positively. "People need torecognize that they have much more available " within themselves than they think they have," Kennedysaid. A common motto used by many hypnotists is, "As much as you believe, to that degree willyou be successful." Increasingly, professional athletes in America are using hypnosis and self-hypnosis. Ken Norton practiced it right before he defeated Muhammed AH. Other athletes usinghypnosis are base- . ball players Don Sutton and Lou Brock as well as basketball star Darrell Griffith. In Olympic competition, how- 'ever, America is far behind the â€¢ Soviets, who have used hypnosis formany years to train their athletes, according to an article Kennedy had. â€¢ Relaxation is one key toself-hypnosis and helps the athlete per- . form successfully. Deep breathing helps deep relaxation,Kennedy said. She said she tells her patients â€¢ to "think of breathing as the bringing in of a new lifeenergy." An athlete who is relaxed can then visualize the game or event. â€¢ An athlete must mentallysee himself or herself excelling in the sport. A basketball player would visualize making every shot.A sprinter would concentrate on a perfect running form. Kennedy said, of one girl who long-jumped, "Ihad her visualize that she would jump 17 feet, a whole foot more than her personal best. The next meetshe jumped 17 feet, right on what she imagined." "A lot of times with runners, I have them imagine theyhave this big hand behind them that gives-them a push," she said. On a television show a few yearsago, another self-hypnosis teacher in Bellingham, Ron Roe, told of some raquetbalj players learning thetechnique of self-hypnosis in a .group session. One player, Mary Ellen Stuart, found much improvementin her form. "Now I can focus on that one shot," she said. "I think it really makes you relax because itgives you more confidence in your shots. I get really nervous, and I think it 'helped me that way. I canfeel myself rela.\ when I go to do a shot I have practiced with self-hypnosis." "I really didn't ^hink it would make as much improvement as it has, especially as quick as it did," she said. "I saw improvement in aweek." Walker may have the quickest hands, Slugger the brawniest bic- : eps and Freddy the perfectkicking form, but all the speed, muscles and style will not help them in those tight spots. What theseathletes need is a mental picture of the winners they really are. ---------- Western Front - 1981 November 20 - Page 14 ---------- 14 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY/NOVEMBER 20, 1981 Hoop team plans to run By GARY LINDBERGLosing four starters, including an Ail-American, doesn't mean playing Western's women's basketballteam will be the next best thing to a bye. One reason is coach Lynda Goodrich, who has compiled arecord of 203 wins against just 60 losses in 11 seasons. More reasons are: the return of an all-regionguard from two years ago, the starting guard who led the team in assists, two top reserve forwards andseven new players. Goodrich said she will miss the play of two-time All-American Jo Metzger, who holds 15 school records and an average score of 21.7 points per game last year. "You don't replace a JoMetzger," Goodrich said. "What you do is take advantage of what you have." Western will take advantage of quickness and more running on offense. "We haven't emphasized running in the past few yearsbecause we've been so efficient in the set offense," Goodrich said. "But this year we're not big." Acrucial part of Western's running offense will be 5-foot-8-inch senior Tamalyn Nigretto, recovered from aknee injury that kept her from playing last year. Nigretto averaged almost 13 points a game and set asingle-season assist record while earning all-region honors. The other starting guard will be 5-foot-5 Susie Miller, who last year was assist leader as a freshman. Two freshmen will play the backup roles at guard. Lori deKubber, an All-Conference guard at Snohomish High School, and Cheryl Boxx, the WhatcomCounty League's most valuable player, from Meridian High School, will fill the reserve roles.Sportabouts: â€” The Viking football team meets at the A1AW Regional Tournament National meet atPocatello, Idaho. Portland State University at 7 p.m. at Portland Saturday night in the last league gameof this season. Western's volleyball team will be "We'll be strong at guard and also have depth, atforward," Goodrich said. The power forwards will be 5-foot-10 Mitzi Johan-knecht, a senior letter winner,and 5-foo.t-10 sophomore Cindy Pancerzewski, a key member of the Western volleyball team.Pancerzewski, turning out for the first time, was an honorable mention high school All-American atMariner High School, Mukilteo. Three will share the small forward slot, including two transfers. Two-timeletter winner Nancy Logue, a 5-foot-8 senior will be splitting playing time with juniors Faye Eken and SueNeumann. Eken, 5-foot-8, earned All-Conference honors at Bellevue Community College, whileNeumann, 5-foot-10, was a two-time letter winner at Spokane Falls Community College. "Especially atforward, we'll be able to do lots of substituting without losing anything," Goodrich said. "Because we'll berunning, we'll need to do that." The real question mark for the team will be at center. Not only did lastyear's starter graduate, but the heir apparent was forced to transfer back to Canada. "The low postposition is an unknown quantity. The potential is there, but how quickly it will develop is the question,"Goodrich said. Freshman Chris Cress, 6-foot-1, and junior Darcie Thompson, 5-foot-l 1, are the team'scenters. Cress was a Spokane All-City choice at West Valley High School. Thompson, transferred fromOlympia Community College, was an All-League choice. "I'm not sure how we'll do this year, mainlybecause I haven't seen most of the team members play in actual games," Goodrich said. in Montanathis weekend. The women's cross country team will be represented tomorrow in its third straightappearance at the The men's cross country team will represent Western Saturday at Parkside, Wis. in a national meet.

In addition to the selection of queen and princess candidates, several other activities areunder way.

The pageantry for the Homecoming Queen and her court isbeing organized by Phyllis Skinner and Dave Northrup. Arrangements for the colorful pep rally, paradeand bonfire are being made by Carol Resner and Don Wallace. "All of these events and many others are shaping up under the diligent committee chairmen and their helpers," stated Rey Sundal. RemoNorman, co-chairman with Sundal, requested that "Anyone who is interested in helping withHomecoming should come to the student center, room 114, where they can contact the variouscommittee chairmen."

The above statement may sound a bit trivial, the fact being that all Americans take the idea ofFreedom of Speech as a matter of course. But that is why it must be stated prominently, often, andloudly. - .._ This last week has been observed, over the nation, as National Newspaper Week. America's newspapers are one of the greatest demonstrations of Freedom of Speech, and one of its staunchestsuporters. ^ But a free newspaper is not only for the free publication of all news, all happenings, and theopinions of a few privileged writers or staff members. NEWSPAPER BELONGS TO READERS To agreat degree, the average American newspaper is not merely the property of the stockholders: it is alsothe property of those who support it. The newspaper furnishes an opportunity for Mr. Average Public tohave his views printed and disseminated to thousands of readers. These facts are also true of theWWCollegian, only to a higher degree. The students of Western are not only subscribers to theCollegian, but, because their activity fee pays for it, they are also the stockholders. This gives them the double privilege of having some say in what their paper will be about, and also in having their ideas andviews printed in the pages of the Collegian, for their fellow students to see. The Collegian has a longstanding tradition of publishing letters to the editor on any subject having to do with students at Theeditorial column is also open to anyone who feels that his views belong in that categorie. Freedom ofSpeech, however, does not furnish a license for ill-advised woxds. Because of this, the editor must reserve the right to refuse publication to protect the student as well as the publication. The refusal may beappealed to the Board of Control. The important thing is that citizens use their power of free speech.Allowing one small segment of their population to monopolize any power whatsoever, especially that ofinterpretation of events,-has led many an organization into tyranny and failure. Lounge Inhabited by Coffee Drinkers Who Enjoy Fame, Fortune and Marilyn WWCollegian Page 2 Friday, October 9, 1953 gt; By WIL "Es el libro."â€”Picasso. Ineresting, isn't it, how these sipping symposiums will gather in thelounge during leisure ftours? The other day four of us â€” a "sosh" teacher, my friend Vik and his fiancee, Sehome Sal, and I were enjoying coffee time. The teacher and I, true to form, were quietly drinking thatexotic beverage as we listened to the discourse of the happy pair beside us. Suddenly we noticed that a faraway look was creeping into the eyes of the prof, and we knew that some basic and deepproblem was on his mind. Finally his idea began to find vocalization. "Isn't it strange?" Vik and Inodded. We both had classes from him and weren't taking any chances. Naturally, we concurred thatindeed it is strange. Sal, however, who is just a junior in high school was apparently having troublefollowing the drift of the conversation, so she said, "Isn't what strange?" "How does man achieve fame,fame, fame . . . " the teacher was deep in thought. "Take General MacArthur . . ." "Good," Sal chimedin. ". . . he gained fame when he appeared in the Asiatic Theatre. But later he decided to fade away."KNUTSEN He looked dejectedly at a cigarette butt on the floor, but presently brightened. "And then hewas embraced by Remington Arms." "Really?" Sal contributed. "Really. And he makes over fiftygrand every year." "That's nothing," I said. The teacher looked quizzically in my direction. "Look atJoseph Cotton. He appeared in many theatres for years. The people finally figured he was fading, heappeared in 'Niagara' and was embraced by Marilyn's arms." "Really?""Sally contributed. "Really. Andhe says "This would be grand any year." Just then the lights blinked on and off, and our symposium was dissolved for the duration of the Homecoming kick-off assembly. Really. Chorus is Open Bellingham'sCommunity chorus, directed by Bernard Regier, is open to students of WWC. Students will receive onecredit for this work if not already enrolled in the choir.

One of the biggest events for this time of year at Western is theannual Homecoming celebration. Two capable and energetic persons were chosen to head this year'sfestivities. They are Rey Sundal and Remo Norman. They have been putting a great deal of time info thisyear's Homecoming and I'm confident we are going to have the best Homecoming WWC has ever had. The dates set for most of the activities are Oct. 24, 25; So be sure to keep those dates free.

Campus School Reports Drop Approximately105 seniors have enrolled for student teaching,, for the fall quarter. This is the smallest enrollment insome time, due to the lower high school enrollments of previous years and also the slump in the number of GI's attending Western. The junior high divison has the largest enrollment of 24, while the primaryhas the smallest, which is only 11, although there are more job opportunities open to primary teachers.There are 56 student teachers in the junior class. These students spend about two-thirds of the dayteaching. The seniors, who spend the full day in the classroom*, number 4. They all receive theirinstruction in the Campus school or in the junior and senior high schools located in Bellingham. Theobject of this program is to acquaint the prospective - teacher with classroom procedure and variousproblems which may arise. It also gives them some actual experience in the field bf teaching beforethey begin their actual teaching after they receive their degree. /4 io4A tfe ^oand fop Sim OK The ageold question concerning the closure of the Library, Lounge, etc., during assembly periods was fanned intoa new hot flame at this week's,'Board, meeting. ' -" -. â€¢ V It: was brought up that it seemed silly toclose the coffee bar during the assemblies and leave the tele-*- vision room open. This defeated its ownpurpose: For one could merely step from the coffee bar into the television room and the net resultwould be the same, No Attendance at Assemb ies. Ron Hatteh brought up the question of whyshould the Library be closed during assemblies when one could do some profitable studying in anotherwise crowded schedule. My only objection to this is to point out the human foible of laziness woulddeter many a student. Those with unexpected time on their hands are not likely to run right from class:to the library, spend an hour Radar Control Plagues N.Y. By MILDRED WALRATH "Square! You cutyour hair a corner at a time!" Phrases similar to the above are prevalent in the clanging din of New YorkCity's taxi cab drivers. But, one needn't cross a continent to witness carelessness and lack ofcourtesy as pertaining to the attitude of the atomic era motorists. Highway departments in many statesemploy what is known as the "Atomic Eye," successfully capturing the speed demon. Radarequipment'has been proved scientifically sound, according to a local patrolman .He says, "It takesaway the guesswork the same way an alcohol test verifies the fact a man has been drinking."Bellinghamites have not yet been plagued with "signs reading, "Radar Controlled" or "Spee lt;|Electrically Timed." Could it be that we have no need for such devices?, It has been quirked that thesense of the hearse and baggy days was possessed by the horse! I'd just like to see even PaulRevere's horse dodge the enigmatic "Electric Eye"! in deep study, then run right to another class.After all we do have some mighty nice scenery on the campus, mobile and otherwise. When you enjoy it in dryness, of course. Also the fact that the Artist and Lecture series is brought to the campus at great expense to the student body. It's in the fees. Therefore the student body should attend and enjoy them. Since each side has its points a compromise was suggested. LESS STUDENT ASSEMBLIESThis compromise woud include closure of all campus facilities during Artist assemblies and perhapsstudent assemblies. However, the number of student assemblies would be cut down putting theemphasis on quality instead of quantity. The remainder of the assembly periods would be left to thestudent's discretion. He may study, drink coffee or sleep if he wishes. Nor would the faculty beopposed to such a plan. After all, despite popular opinion to the contrary, they are human. They, like the student body, enjoy a surcease to catch success in other of their varied duties. .Carolyn Crook and Ron Hatten shall go into a huddle with the Administration to see if this or some other solution to theproblem can be found agreeable to both sides. Mural, mural on the wall. Where, I cry, are you? Mr.Gelder informed the Board the big business known officially as the Associated Student Body of Western Washington College is in the BLACK. We are in the very black, to be exact some 6800 dollars. Hepatted us on the head and told us we were good students. The new student - owned row boats can usean outboard motor of up to 7.5 horsepower. LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS On the other hand it's good tohave a student like Worthal in class â€”it completes th' other end of th' 'curve'." ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1953 October 9 - Page 3 ---------- WWCollegian Page 3 Friday, October 9, 1953 Fines, Penalties Threaten Parking Violators Studentsshould be aware of parking regulations on campus, the Dean of Men's office announces. Parking finesare now in force. Clearly marked parking areas reserved for faculty and staff are: north and west curbsof the area south of the main building, north rear entrance of the main building, Edens hall, to the rear ofthe Campus school, and marked spaces in front of the physical education and in rear of the artsbuilding. Parking regulations are: 1. Do not drive more than 10 m.p.h. on campus or more than 20rri'.p.h. in the vicinity. 2. Park within spaces as marked so that the maximum number of cars may beaccommodated. 3. If you live on campus or in the vicinity of the college refrain from using parkingarea south of Main building. 4. Do not under any circumstances park on narrow drives leading fromNormal Drive to main parking area. 5. If you park on the old heating plant site, immediately southeastof Main, building do not block the exit of another car. Violation of the regulations is cause for denial ofparking privilege's an campus and the assessment of a fine. Camera Club to Criticize SalonCriticizing a traveling salon was a chance offered to all potential club members of the Camera club that^sited the display yesterday. The WWC Camera club is a member of the Washington Counsel ofCamera clubs. To obtain constructive criticisms and appraisals of the work of the individual members of the affiliated clubs, each club sends a, selection of their best photographic work to all the other clubs in the group. There are more than 40 such groups in the state of Washington. Each club views thesalon, attaches criticisms and appraisals, and sends it on to the next club in the circuit. After all clubs have had the chance to view the salon it returns to the originating camera club and the members arepresented with many suggestions for improving individual work. Western's Camera club now has onesuch salon circulating, and the make-up of another is on the club agenda for early action this fall. J.Ricketts Edits Annual Booklet Western's Homecoming booklet is edited this year by John Ricketts.Featuring pictures and information about the queen, .princesses, cheer leaders and the teams ofWestern and Whitworth, it also welcomes alumni and contains information about special events.

She served from 1922 until 1926 and then started again in 1931 and taught here until lastyear. She spent all but six of her 32 years of teaching at Western. After resigning last summer, Mrs.Burnet took a job in the book department of the Lane Publishing company. She worked at this job allduring the summer. Mrs. Burnet stated, "The Lane Publishing company was a delightful place to workand I made many splendid friends, but the worked proved to be far too different from what I was used to." Mrs. Burnet has returned to Bellingham and will stay here for a brief time. "We hope to return to theBay area in California if we can sell our apartments here," she went on. The Burhets will live near theirdaughter, Jean, who lives in San Francisco. Western's long-time adviser to publications graduated fromthe University of Washington with a master of arts degree in English. She taught four years atWestern high school in Washington, D. C. The remaining two years of teaching she did, other than at Western, were at Fairhaven high school. In 1922 Mrs. Burnet started what is now the modern Collegian. Before that time the newspaper was merely a class project with rather casual coverage. She started the staff idea and began the practice of having the students participate in the make-up of the paper. Theprinters then were the Irish printers who were in the same location as are now Cox Brothers, printers.After the Irish Printing company, the Miller- Sutherlen printers handled the Collegian. Finally the CoxBrothers took over the print shop. Mrs. Burnet feels that the change in system as it developed helpedcall out responsible applicants for editor every year and gradually developed a high standard collegepaper. During her many years at Western Mrs. Burnet was responsible for the inception of manypublications besides the paper. The Profile was one of the later additional publications. The Collegianstyle book was written as a guide to the standard of writing on the paper. The Navigator was addedjust before the war as a guide to freshmen and transfer students. Charles, Kil-bourne, feature editorbefore the war, was instrumental in the first Navigator. Soon after the war the new publication, ^Here'sHow, was begun. Last year a new publication came out known as Western Roundup, a sports bulletinbooklet. All these publications were under the direction of Mrs. Burnet. HER STUDENTS MAKE GOODThrough the years of teaching, Mrs. Burnet instructed many students who later became outstanding citizens and celebrities. Ex-editor of the twenties, Bob Walter, is editor of a motor boat magazine.Sverre Arestad, business manager in 1925, is head of the department of Scandanavian languages at theU. of W. Other successful men on the old staffs are Dr. Zeno Katterle, member of the WSC faculty;Roger Chapman, of the EWC faculty; and Harry Kluge, owner of a print shop in Everett and editor of a shopping newspaper. Judge War-nerPoyhenen, Collegian editor in the twenties, is a judge in the GraysHarbor area. Bill Ridder, 1940 editor, took his M.D. from Harvard. Hollis Stoddard is teachingsuccessfully while Clarence Soukup is assistant principal of Shoreline schools. The Soukup trophywas to honor this great editor. Evan Hill is, associate professor of journalism at Boston university.Western's last pre-war editor is now very much in the news. Eric Philipps has just been released afterbeing a prisoner for three years of the communists. Present adviser for the staff, Pat Allan, was also aneditor for Mrs. Burnet. In the opinion of the present staff, through the years Mrs. Burnet has built upstudent publications to what they are today. Every development of journalism at WWC has beeninfluenced by the former adviser. Mrs. Burnet stated, "Through my 26 years I made many friends and Ihope to see them all before we make the final move to California, if we do make it."

All weekhe's been feeding the men oranges' to keep them in condition for the change in climate. The. straightliners also took a tank of oxygen over the hill with them for use during the game. This afternoon the Viks willworkout Over there to get used to the environment and have been instructed not to take there helmets offduring the workouts. This is so the moisture will remain inside the headgear. In that high and dryclimate you perspire easily and too big a loss would weaken the players. # * * * * This winning ballgames and stealing the football from an opponents arms is old stuff for "Buck" Burger. We asked him how he stole the ball. "When?" he returned, "last Saturday night." "Well, the guy the quarterback wassupposed to hand off to had already gone by. He just held the ball out waiting for somebody to take it, so I did. Anybody could have taken it, I just happened to be-J* : â€”: there." We fired a question to the effect of had he ever done anything like that before? A modest grin and "yeah, in high school. We trailedSedro-Woolley high 8-13 with thirty seconds left in the game. A Sedro player tried to lateral and I caught it and went for a touchdown." How far did you run Buck?" "Seventy yards." Maybe it's all in knowinghow. Right after the series a man from the sticks was interviewed over the radio. He was asked why hesupported the Yankees. "Why should everybody pull for the underdog. Maybe he deserves to beunder." No comment. BALL BOTHERS QB That PLC quarterback was having trouble, all night. WillisBall was second only to the football in reaching the little scatback. He frequently assumed aposition beneath Big Willis just after he handed off. Everyone seems to agree that this year's freshmancrop is one of the best and the backfield one of the fastest. Skip Kays and Don Lapp showed theirexpected running potential on several long runs during the last game. Freshman Denny Bajema turned in another good ball games with his spectacular punt returning last week-end. Jim Gard has reallyestablished himself as a good passer in the last games with Ken Lapp, Karwaski and Bajema his chieftargets. Spud Walley, who can't play this year because of an injured back, seems to be capablyreplaced. Just a few shifts in position that have paid off . . . quarterback Don Jangaard was center on last years squad/ Viking end Denny Bajema played halfback in high school, and fullback Jack Sheehanplayed center at the beginning of this year. Western Viks Trample PLC During Conference Opener ByBOB STROBE The old saying, "The linemen do the work and the backfield get the credit," didn't quitehold true Saturday evening at Battersby field when the WWC Vikings edged the defending champion,Pacific Lutheran squad, 8-7, in the Evergreen conference opener. "The "mud and sweat" men, thelinemen, accounted for all the scoring. Harvey (Buck) Burger, .Western tackle, snared a Lute pass inmidair and rambled 85 yards for the Vikings only touchdown. Fullback Jack Sheehan failed to convert. *â€” The game winning score came in the third quarter,, when the hard-charging Viking line swarmed in to block quarterback Dick Larson's attempted punt. The ball bounced out of the end zone for anautomatic safety, which provided the eventual winning margin for WWC. With a lead of 8-0 in the fourthquarter, Bob Rosi Viking halfback, threw a pass into the flat which PLC center Carl Ferguson graciouslyintercepted and ran 48 yards to pay dirt. Ron Billing, PLC star end, split the uprights to make thescore 8-7, which turned out to be the final score. VIKS REVERSE SELVES The Western gridiron menmade a complete reversal of form from that which they displayed in the Willamette contest the preceding week. They gained consistently on the ground but acted as if they had their wings clipped in executingtheir aerial attack, whereas the week before their air arm was most effective and their ground attackimpotent. WWC outgained the Lutes 157 yards to 16 in rushing, but were outgained in passing 79 to 47yards. The Western aggregation held the Lutes to a standstill while enabling their own backfield to pickup considerable yardage between the twenty yard stripes, but were unable to muster a sustaineddriye. Skip Kays and Don Lapp, elusive Viking speedsters, provided thrills for the crowd of 2,500 byspectacular serpentine-like runs of 32 and 42 yards, respectively. Lapp made his contribution on a puntrunback. Don Jangaard, Viking field general, also helped to give the fans their â€¢money's worth byelusively sprinting 42 yards on the kick-off runback after WWC's safety.

The Western Front WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY FRIDAY â€”OCTOBER 28,1994 VOLUME 90. ISSUE 11 How does it feel? Administrator learns what many take forgranted is an obstacle course for others Front/Daniel McLeod Ted Pratt takes on a wheelchair obstaclecourse including this stop on the chair lift in College Hall. By Marlese Webb Front reporter Most peopledon't experience Western's campus from an eye level of four feet, nor do most have to depend upon their arms to get them from place to place. Yesterday, the Office of Disabled Student Services gave anadministrator the opportunity to get this experience during a two-hour wheelchair tour designed to raiseawareness about accessibility for disabled people. Maynard Svor, a senior English education major,designed the course, which included nine stops between Old Main and the Environmental Studiesbuilding. Svor, who works in the DSS office, uses a wheelchair or prostheses to travel. Ted Pratt,director of Student Support Services, piloted the chair during the course, accompanied on foot byBreta Brown, Multicultural Services secretary. Pratt started from the DSS office in Old Main, firststopping at the bookstore to "buy" several items designated by Svor. He encountered problems on eachfloor. Although Pratt didn't have much trouble on the top floor, he had difficulty getting back to theelevator, as several boxes were sitting around its entrance. He missed the elevator trying to maneuveraround them and had to call it a second time. Much of the floor inside the elevator was occupied by twolarge unattended boxes. In the basement, Pratt had no trouble getting down the aisles, but could notreach the assigned textbook, which was at the back of a top shelf, until he stood up. On the mainfloor, candy was accessible, but a can of oil was not, being located on the wall of the staircase landing.Pratt described the aisles near the card racks as "tight quarters." The next stop on the course wasCollege Hall. Pratt said this building had the "most difficult access" on the route. To enter the buildingfrom the front, Pratt had to go through a locked door leading to The Western Front newsroom, whichopened at his knock by a journalism student. When he got to See Wheelchair, page 4 Copy violationsmean manual removal 200 copy-duplicated items unavailable while remedies to dilemma are searched out By Joe Hoggard Front reporter and Pat McCarrell News editor Concerns of possible copyrightviolations have forced officials to remove all material copied by the university from the shelves of thebookstore. "Everybody thought they were doing what they were supposed to," said David Dahl, managerof Western's printing and publications. "But under our new understanding of the fair-use regulations, it's fair to say we weren't." Dahl said this fall theprintplant prepared an estimated 200 of what arecommonly referred to as class packets or class manuals. The removal of the material affects "a prettysignificant number" of classes, he said. It's unclear whether the issue will be resolved and the materialwill be available for classroom use before the beginning of next quarter. Dahl said his office is currently doing everything it can to help faculty members deal with the problem. "There is discussion on anadministrative level on how to help faculty obtain copyright clearance," Dahl said. "We are working ona proposal that would develop a central clearing program," he added. "Whether it is with thisorganization or somewhere else on the campus is undecided." He said other campuses around thecountry have had similar problems because of "growing concern about protecting copyrightedmaterial." Action taken by those universities may serve as a model for Western. "It's fairly common to put together a copyright clearance center," he said. "That is one way to help facilitate clearingmaterial for copyright." Dahl said each faculty member puts the material together accord- SeeCopyright, page 4 Area's atmosphere business-friendly By Helen Buller Front reporter Opportunities forstudents straight out of college to strike it rich may be few. But opening a small business right here inBell-ingham could help get the money flowing. According to a recent report in Money Magazine, theBellingham area is" an excellent place to start a small business. Behind only Boise, the Bellingham/Whatcom County area rates second best in the nation for entrepreneurial success, according to themagazine's study. Honolulu was rated third in the study. To be sure, the rating doesn' t mean everysmall business will succeed, but the announcement sparked a flurry of activity at Western's SmallBusiness Development Center, said April BackJund, a graduate student working toward her masters inbusiness administration and currently working in the center. "We got more calls in one day than weusually get in a week," Backlund said. "I would assume there's some correlation (to the rating)," shesaid. "I'm not positive, but we're still getting lots of calls." She said the increase in calls began just afterBellingham's ranking was published in an October issue of The Bellingham Herald. Most of the calls tothe center have been from local people, she said. But while some have been from out of the county, fewWestern students have contacted the center, she added. Many of the callers' questions concernedopening new businesses, she said, a reversal from the center's most common service of advising existing small businesses. Backlund said the role of the development center is offering support andinformation for owners of existing small businesses and to those interested in becoming small-business owners. The magazine's ranking, published in the November issue, may have surprised somecommunity business leaders who, at the area's economic summit Oct. 14 and 15, expressed concern atthe lack of home ownership and at the possibly prohibitive regulation of businesses in WhatcomCounty. But such concerns may have little to do with the ranking. Criteria for judging the winners didn'tinclude local government restrictions. The report rated U. S. cities and metropolitan areas on fivefactors "common to many of our winning cities and that contribute substantially to an area'sentrepreneurial vitality." A combination of the following qualities lead to the Bellingham area's ranking:quality of life, vigorous and diverse economic base, educated work force, easy access to money,construction and transportation network. Statistics from the city's building services office support theconstruction category. Bellingham issued $ 18.5 million worth of construction permits in August. ForSeptember that figure increased more than 35 percent to almost $23.7 million. The transportationnetwork category was based on access to the area. Bellingham's proximity to major population centersalong the Interstate 5 corridor may have been a major factor in its rating. The study points out almost 10million potential customer's within a day's travel north and south of the Bellingham area. ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 28 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ NEWS The Western Front â€” October 28, 1994 Campus Police Oct. 24,11:03 p.m.: A Westernpublic safety assistant reported the bulletin board in the east college underpass was damaged by arson.Oct. 26,1:56 a.m.: A university employee found street signs in the bushes next to the 3R parking lot.Oct. 26,10:20 p.m.: A parking attendant found a 3-inch-square hole in the passenger window of a vehiclein the 20R parking lot.

An adult known as a"whipman" gave the 17-year-old Warm Springs reservation girl five strokes with a belt last month.Ajuvenile court judge ordered the punishment after the girl appeared a number of times in court andrepeatedly ran away from home. One tribal elder, 76-year-old Sylvia Wallulatum, said she remembersvisits from the whipman when she was a child. She said she thinks the threat of punishment waseffective. The case is reminiscent of a recent Tlingit Indian case in Alaska in which two boys werebanished to deserted islands off the Northwest coast for beating a pizza deliveryman in this state.National Radiation debated in what could be glowing concern WASHINGTON â€” The FederalGovernment can' t agree with itself on what's a safe amount of radiation exposure. A general accountingoffice study finds the government has dozens of radiation standards on the books or in the works. Thereport said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Environmental Protection Agency and other arms of the government can't even agree on how to calculate radiation protection standards. For instance, theEPA's proposed limit on radium concentrations in drinking water is based on a one-in-14,000 risk ofincreased premature cancer deaths. But for air pollution, the proposed limit implies an increasedpremature cancer death risk of one-in-3,000. Ohio Senator John Glenn is asking federal agencies toagree on a plan before the next congressional session begins in January. International Puerto Rico's'brightest star' laid to rest this week SAN JAUN, Puerto Ricoâ€”Stage' and screen actor Raul Julia wasburied in his native Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans hailed Julia as the Caribbean island's brightest star.Local TV and radio stations broadcast the funeral live throughout the day. Thousands crowded outsidethe church where a farewell Mass was given. Others lined the processional route. They applauded,shouted "Bravo!" and waved the Puerto Rican flag. Julia died Monday of complications from a stroke. He was 54. The versatile actor starred in such films as "Kiss of the Spider Woman" and "The AddamsFamily." Biblical references gain Clinton points in Israel JERUSALEM â€” President Clinton has made a hit with some Israeli lawmakers â€” for his biblical knowledge. Clinton's speech to the Israeli parlimentyesterday included references to the biblical patriach Abraham, the prophet Moses and Ruth, anancestor of King David. One rabbi, a lawmaker with the national religious party, said he hopes Clinton'sexample will inspire Israeli leaders to quote more from the Bible in their speeches. Clinton noted in hisaddress how his pastor had warned him, "If you abandon Israel, God will never forgive you." RabbiAbraham Ravitz of the orthodox Torah Flags party told Israel Television that Clinton spoke about faith ina very honorable fashion and he saw Clinton as a political ally. Other Israeli lawmakers were struck bythe warmth of Clinton's renewed committment to the Jewish state. News briefs compiled from theAssociated Press by Assistant News editor Joanna Cerar.

Keys must beobtained from the DSS office, he soon found out. When Pratt later returned to the building with a key, it took him several minutes and the help of Brown and a passerby to get the lift operating. A loudwhistle and a flashing orange light accompanied his trip up the stairs. Going from the third floor tothe second floor took less than three minutes, the staircase and hall being empty. While Pratt said theride wasn't as frightening as he'd anticipated, he wondered how classrooms on the west end of buildingcould be accessed because it has stairs with no lifts. When the lift is in use there is only about a footof passing space left, impeding students on foot. Pratt said the lift was inconvenient to students bothon and off the lift. Other course stops included the Environmental Studies Building, Western Gallery,Bond Hall, Miller Hall, the Humanities Building, the library, and Old Main 540. Pratt said the sub-levelfloors in Bond and Miller halls were a problem because sometimes a person must get off the stair lift onone floor in order to access another. Pratt did not go to the library or Old Main 540, as he said theywere both "a straight shot," because of elevators. "In some ways, I feel. 'Wow,! That's much betterthan I thought,' (but) there, are some areas where we could use some improvement," he said after histrip. Pratt said the school is planning to organize a committee to facilitate access in compliance withthe American Disabilities Act of 1990. The ADA requires that all college and university programs,services and activities be accessible to disabled people. The idea for the committee was initiated inAugust by President Karen Morse and Eileen Coughlin, vice president for student affairs and dean of academic support services. "We have an administration that cares about students," Pratt said. "I thinkwe're moving in the right direction; theenergy is there. We're looking to put resources where our mouthis," Pratt said. Pratt encouraged patience in dealing with access issues. "The world wasn't created in aday," he said, but added, "(we) need to set goals to make sure we aren't getting off track. "Attitude helps to shape a person's experience on campus, being in or out of a wheelchair," Pratt said. While Svor and DSS coordinator Dave Brunnemer were enthusiastic about the wheelchair route, they wereconcerned that people "take it beyond the fun ride," as Brunnemer said. He said people go throughscavenger hunts or wheelchair rides during weeks set aside for recognition of disabled people, but theydon't experience the ongoing trials of a disabled person. Front/Daniel McLeod Disabled students haveto be aware of the campus layout "The idea is to get the arms and upper body tired so that the distancelooks far. The intention is to be aware of what a barrier is," Brunnemer said. Both Brunnemer and Svorsaid disabled persons must constantly go through problem-solving strategies in advance ofdestinations to make sure they can get where they want to go. "The worst barriers aren't alwaysphysical, (but) logistical," Svor remarked. Long-standing norms finally haunt college CopyrightContinued from page 1 ing to individual classroom needs. He wasn't sure how long Western facultymembers have used the manuals in their classrooms, but said it has been common for quite sometime. This situation came to a head after one of the packets was questioned by a publisher'sassociation.

"(The association) had purchased one of the course packets and was questioning whether the material in that particular manual had been cleared forcopyright." Dahl said the questions "caused an administrative review of our copyright policies and thatfacilitated the administrative decision to remove the remaining unsold books from the bookstore untilclarification could be made as to how closely our policies are being followed." He said Roland DeLorme, provost/vice president of academic affairs, drafted a letter to faculty members clarifying the university's policies and copyright law concerning photocopying for educational use. Attached to the letter was an update to the Copyright Act of 1976, titled "Guidelines for Educators," prepared in 1987 by the stateof Washington. According to the document, the following guidelines must be met before copied materialis considered legal: "single copies for teachers and multiple copies for classroom discussion;however, the copying must meet the restrictions of brevity, spontaneity, cumulative effect andinclude notice of copyright as provided in Title 17, Section 107 of the US Code, commonly referred to as the Fair Use Doctrine." Other factors to consider in determining whether copyrighted material has beenused fairly include competitive effect and purpose of selections made, according to the update."Copying shall not: substitute for the purchase of books, publisher's reprints or periodicals, be repeatedwith respect to the same item by the same teacher from term to term and no charge shall be made tothe student beyond the actual cost of photocopying." Dahl, who has overseen the printing plant atthe Western's commissary and the copy-duplicating centers on campus since January 1994, saidinterpreting the guidelines is difficult and obtaining clearance can take several weeks. "(The proposedclearance program) would aid the faculty in properly securing copyright releases from the materialwithout requiring a great deal of their time to do so," Dahl said. "As we continue our effort to complywith copyright laws there will be some added costs to the manuals resulting from royalty fees that needto be paid."

They responded by running campaigns based on what theysay voters want. "I think people are just really tired of government growing and growing and growing,"Goldsmith said. "A true conservative is one that believes in the basics of the constitution â€” thatgovernment has a very limited function. The individuals are responsible for the rights of government. ...Everybody's a victim in our society today." Goldsmith proposed cutting government spendingby eliminating tax funds for services the private sector could provide. "I look at the re- ^ ^^ searchgrants," Goldsmith said. "Your education money is being used up not in education; it's by somebodythat doesn't even come into a classroom, but does something for research. Government shouldn't be funding research. (Private enterprise) is going to be the beneficiary of the research. "We shouldn'thave a massive bureaucracy controlling edu- Gene Goldsmith cation in Bellingham or Lynden orFerndale. If Lynden wants to hire dairy people, they should train them in their school system, so thosekids are prepared for the marketplace, in the market there. We have the same education in Lynnwood as we do in Lynden. To me, that's kind of silly," Goldsmith said. "In Lynnwood, they should be trainingin sheet metal work," he added. "They should have shops there to train people to go to work for Boeing,they should have computers to train people for Microsoft and the high-tech industry. Each schoolsystem should be able to do their own education for the needs of its own community." "Your educationmoney is being used up not in education; it's by somebody that doesn't even come into a classroom, but does something for research. Government shouldn't be funding research." â€” Gene GoldsmithRepublican House candidate Linville agreed many decisions can be made on the community level,but she said services such as education must have government- set standards. "I think thatgovernment's job is to level the playing field, to prevent discrimination, to set standards." No matterwhere you live in Washington, you should get the same services, she said. "I definitely feel thatgovernment needs to back away from trying to tell everybody exactly how to do it. Those are local,community decisions. But at least the local communities have a standard to try to reach, rather thaneverybody just deciding whatever it is they want." Linville cited the the Whatcom County YMCA' seffort to provide daycare services using school money, fund-raisers and.small parental contributions."â€”~â€” "You don't always need government to do something in order to provide the service. We didit," she said. Linville reasoned Goldsmith's lead in the primaries as voters seeing political changessince 1992. "We're going through a period of major change and when _ _ _ change happens, peopleare uncomfortable," she said. "Lots of times, people want change, but they only want change if it's notgoing to affect them or if it affects them in a positive way." She also cited confusion about what theDemocrats have and have not done while in the Congressional majority. "Everything that is in (a flyer ^ titled 'Republican Contract with Washington State') are things that we did this year," Linville said. "Weincreased juvenile penalties, did not take away gun rights, did tax cuts, BO cuts, incentives for timber-distressed areas and high-tech companies. "We changed the direction of the train. We are looking atreducing a growing government. We are looking at reforming programs to add personal responsibilities, and yet the results aren't clear right now â€” you can't see them immediately. That' s been the mostfrustrating thing," Linville said. Goldsmith said government still asserts too much control. "I do notbelieve that govern-ni'eiit'should control our health care, perio'd^' he'said. "I don't Believe that they ^hotilddetermine how much I payfSf health care or what health care I should receive and there's too muchcompromise in that. Every time you compromise, both sides lose." "We're going through a period ofmajor change and when change happens, people are uncomfortable. Lots of times, people want change,but they only want change if it's not going to affect them or if it affects them in a positive way." â€” KelliLinville Democrat House candidate Goldsmith favors a medical-savings account similar to an IRA. Asingle person puts in $2,000, which they use throughout the year. They also purchase a medicalinsurance plan with a $2,000 deductible. He said this would also eliminate paperwork and promoteconsumer price comparison for medical services. "You should go in, you get a bill, you pay the bill.That's the way it was before we started health insurance," Goldsmith said. "People afforded it. Thepeople that don't have insurance or can't afford that insurance, that's where the government provides that medical savings IRA." Linville responded, "It's a very simple, appealing concept. It works if people havethe money to put in the account, so you have to determine where is that going to come from?" sheasked. "He said they could take it out of their welfare benefit ... welfare benefits are not very large andso to expect to have someone trade groceries for a medical savings account, I don't think is veryrealistic." Linville added she favors as much being done in the private sector as possible, but not toGoldsmith's extent. "It just demonstrates how un-aware he is of what goes on in our community,"she said. Goldsmith emphasized a need to return to free-market and de-regulate to solve problems."We don't need any more legislation. Look how many mil- â€” â€” lions of bills and laws and regulationswe have in this country. Most of the problems we have in our country today were developed bysomebody wanting to help someone else, but they're taking otherpeople's money to do it rather thanletting the person be responsible." r Japanese Style^ kt ~T Best Flame Broiled Teriyaki in Town!

In what Jane Adams, arepresentative from the Community Development Advisory Board, called at Monday's meeting, a"painful process," the projects were chosen to receive funds from the CBDG. Funding ranged from a high of 100 percent to a low of 48 percent of requested funds. CBDG funding requests to the housing andhuman services section of Bellingham's community development; division totaled $492,339. But theCBDG amount available to the section for human services programs was $157,895, or roughly 32percent of the total requested. Such restrictions forced the division to define human-services needcategories and develop a system of rating grant proposals this year. Even with the rating system, 18proposed projects did not make it onto the budget. CBDG funding is made available by federal funding.Under a federal program, cities can apply for federal assistance, in the form of grants, to improve theircommunities. At Monday's meeting, the council told city staff to prepare a budget based on a 6 percentproperty tax increase on new construction and annexations to a 3 percent increase elsewhere.

In other council business,Mayor Tim Douglas and Bellingham Police Chief Don Pierce presented the council with a report ofFront/Ryan McMenamin their September law enforcement trip to the Russian Far East. During the trip,Bellingham and its sister city, Nakhodka, formally agreed to cooperate in training and law-enforcement information exchanges. Nakhodka is the Russian Far East's highest profit port.

Nova Mob is a cool band. I saw them with Sister Psychic lastyear at Moe' s in Seattle and it was a kick-ass show even before I'd downed four cheap pints. Nova Mobis full of chubby, happy-hooks by Grant Hart, who was the prime-mover in Husker Du. Butplease,don'tthinkyou're getting more, of the same -^ you are, but you aren't. The lyrics have a wayback yet up-to-date appeal, with a musical quality Nova Mob and any venue they play can get seriously fired upabout. Grant Hart was supposedly a great spectacle and a favorite draw at the University ofWashington's HUB in the early/mid-' 80s (I was a bit young back then to go to the shows), so I imagineSpeedy's ought to be an even better performance environment. The disc itself is not a disc to die for,but it will be a welcome addition to any collection. â€¢ The Shivers â€¢ The Shivers came out Sept. 23and I couldn't get a copy quick enough. I heard a promo disc this summer and I couldn't wait to get acopy of my own. I like the Shivers. Most of the songs are written with a simple, bluesy progression and a country/ folkishbeat, butthisdoesn'tmake the Shivers a backwoodsy hick band. The style is completelyconsistent with the lyrics, which I swear are by far superior to 99 percent of the crap (even the crap Ibuy and enjoy) available today. This band is coming straight from the heart and the pit of the gut, andperhaps even from that hard-to-reach place where the sun doesn't shine. The music is thereâ€”you feelitin every delicate strum and pluck of the guitar, each flowing pulse of the bass, and the respectivelylilting or agentic voices of singer/ songwriter/bassist Kelly Bell and Western Front You are invited!

The melodic, lyrical and emotional impact of this band cannot be understated. TheShivers will hit you in the same way Sara McLachlan hits you. Alternately understanding, defeated,angry, defiant, stoic and intimate, this is the disc you search for and willingly pay full price for when youfind it. It's too good to wait to find it used. â€¢ Danger Gens â€¢ This band has been around quite awhile. I used to see their posters oh telephone poles when they were called Maxi Badd. "Life BetweenCigarettes" is a fun, college/garage-rockish disc. I kinda like it. Danger Gens have a swell vocalist,Gretta Harley, who's pointed voice sounds somewhat forced (sorta like like the voice of the frontwomanfor 4 Non-blondes) but is nonetheless very pleasing to the ear (sorta unlike the voice of the frontwomanfor 4 Non-blondes). Gretta does a moving job on Xlrsj'SJ'ssssssjrsT: the opening two tracks and onother songs on the disc. I rejoice to say the other lead vocalist, Tess Lotta, also sings terrifically, though her tunes, such as "Dead Orchestra" tend to be a bit on the depressing or morbid side of the boneyardhedge. Harley is responsible for the guitar work on the album; Lotta for the bass; and the drums, rarelypronounced on the disc, are taken care of by one Dave Parnes. It's a good piece of work, and it's on anindependent label. So the whole effort deserves support -and admiration.

I don't thinkthis band has truly tapped its potential yet â€” there's still something missing, but I don't know quitewhat it is. The music is good on disc, but like tribal drumming, garage rock or improvisational jazz, itreally was meant to be experienced live.

A "smoke in" on the streets ofAmsterdam. By Craig Stephens Front reporter "Sex, Drugs and Democracy," directed by JonathonBlank, hints that America isn't the only international model for democracy by showcasing thepragmatic politics of the Netherlands. Expect this 87-minute documentary to get giggles, gasps andperhaps awe-stricken silence as the Dutch approach the big issues with civility and practicality. It's allthere â€” the sex, the drugs and the democracy â€” but the way they fit together is what will surpriseyou. Holland is a democracy, but not like America. "They have a whole different idea of normal," Blanksaid. "The Dutch have a democracy that is working more democratically. Ours is based on wealth, andtheirs is based on personal freedom," he said. During parts of the film, excerpts from the DutchConstitution flash across the screen, such as Article 1: "All persons in the Netherlands shall be treatedequally in equal circumstances. Discrimination on the grounds of religion, belief, political opinion, raceor sex or on any other grounds whatsoever shall not be permitted." In Holland, prostitution andpornography are tolerated and regulated by the government. This ensures safety. "It seemsnecessary to have prostitutes. It seems the world can't do without them. It's not my wish, but it seemsthat this is a fact," said Dutch Senator Hanneke Gelderblom. "Well, what can you do? Let's have themin a system where there is control, where they can go if they are sick or if they want to get out of thisjob." Blank leaves little untouched in the film about the Dutch prostitution and porno industries,including a bit about a handicap-accessible brothel. The film moves through the Amsterdam"coffeehouses" where marijuana and hashish are sold and smoked openly. No drugs are legal inHolland, but soft drugs are tolerated and allowed to be readily available to keep them from becominga stepping stone to harder drugs. "We don't have a crack problem in Holland because between thecrack and the young people we built a wall and this is hashish," said August Deloor, director of the DrugAdvice Bureau. Blank said the Dutch approach drug use as a human health and welfare issue. "A war on drugs is stupid," he said. "You-can! t fight, a, plant., Create an environment where people aren'tdesperate. Fight poverty, not drugs." Try to get past the 800 pounds of marijuana shown in the film, aswell as the two- foot-long joint. Try to listen to the rationality of the speakers, especially in "A war ondrugs is stupid. You can't fight a plant. Create an environment where people aren't desperate. Fightpoverty, not drugs." â€” August Deloor Drug Advice Bureau director By Tara Thomas Front reporter AsHalloween draws near, ghosts and goblins begin to appear. Haunted houses, cemeteries and eerie woods come to mind when mentioning the activities of witches, warlocks and supernatural beings, but whatabout bowling alleys? A magic spell is cast upon the black rolling ball as it travels with a fury toward thepins. A strike is made while little goblins dance around gleefully and bands play in the background. OnSaturday, Twentieth-Century Lanes Bowling Alley, located at 1411 N. State St., will transform itself into a place for ghouls to enjoy bowling, beer and four bands. Sponsored by Es-trus Records, the "Spookand Bowl" will feature Poison 13, from Austin, Texas; The Makers, from Spokane; Galaxy Trio, fromPortland, Or.; and Satan's Pilgrims, also from Portland. "All the bands are stoked about playing in abowling alley, especially since it's the world's only haunted bowling alley, as far as I know," said DaveCrider, from Estrus Records. Did he say a haunted bowling alley? Rumors began when a janitor quitworking at the bowling alley because things had been moved around downstairs and he thought thebasement was haunted, said Eddie Ressler, owner of Twentieth- Century Lanes. The building was ^+o fV*. 3 * builtin 1923 and the basement was originally used to assemble bombs. Since that time, thebuilding has been a car dealership, a roller rink and finally a bowling alley. Ressler doesn't know who orwhat the janitor claimed was haunting the building , but he has not had a problem. Still, the rumors flyand the legend of a haunted bowling alley attracts people, especially on Halloween. interviews with theAmsterdam Police Commissioner and the hashish dealers. And don't think that the main parts about the sex and drugs end and the movie craps out. Blank saves some of the most absurd stuff for the ending,where a good listener can hear and see a bit about a constitutionally required environmental program,theillegality of capital punishment and a government sponsored sex education program. The"Democracy" is apparent throughout. The film is a not-so-subtle vehicle for a message about Americaand about democracy. "What matters is, is this a democracy or not? I don't like certain people, but Ishouldn't be able to pass legislation allowing discrimination against those people," Blank said. "This iswhat makes a better society, and they're into it to get abetter society. If you could convince them thata war on drugs would work, they'd do it. "Some people have a problem believing the movie is true.We've been programmed to believe the system is based on perpetual conflict. In most interviews (inHolland) people couldn't understand why Americans would want to know about these things. To them itseemed obvious, like 'Don't you know the answer? What're you stupid?'" The clips are amazing,shocking and ridiculous, though at times a bit busy. And don' t expect a top-forty soundtrack, becauseit's all new music from the U.S. and Holland. "If true freedom were readily available and could be foundwithout great effort, how is it possible that it should be neglected by almost everyone? But all thingsexcellent are as difficult as they are rare," B. de Spinoza, 17th century Dutch Philosopher said. Seethe movie. If you're shocked, see it twice and try to find the message.

Two old friends who had done almost everything together. But create a comic book? Why not?From a small, cluttered office stuffed with papers, books and computermanuals,WesternEnglishDepartment Computer Coordinator Mark Sherman relates his journey into theworld of independent comics. Unfortunately, coauthor Michael Cohen could not be reached for comment because of his recent move to New Hampshire. "An old friend, Michael Cohen â€” I've known Michael for about 20 years â€” and I have been involved in projects for years," Sherman said. "We were in a bandtogether. We planned a book together. We wrote part of a computer adventure game together. We've hadvarious projects that really had never come to fruition. They'd just get so far and then kind of stall."Finally they hit on an idea that worked. "While Micheal was (in Costa Rica) he had this revelation thatwe would finally get it together and do this comic book called Strange Attractors," Sherman said. "Hecame back and told me about it and we sort of planned it from there." A year later, in 1993, withSherman writing the script and Cohen doing the art, the first issue was published. "We were sort offeeling our way in the dark in that first comic," the 44-year-old, goatee-clad Sherman said. "WeFront/Daniel McLeod had read comic books, of course, but never created one. That's a totally differentthing." Since independent comics are self-published and self-produced, creative economics are often the key to a finished product. "What we did is, Mike had a little money and I took my tax refund," Sherman laughs. "And we both put it together and had enough money to print a single issue." Sherman, whoalso teaches composition and technical writing, said only 1,300 copies of that first issue were ordered, but Sherman and Cohen had now officially entered the world of independent comics. "Theindependent comics world is a whole scene unto itself," Sherman said. "The independent world isn'tlike your standard superhero comics ... there are all kinds of odd things. "What's different about thesecomics is that they're owned by the creators," Sherman added. "They're edited by the creators. They'remarketed by the creators. When you have an order you have to stuff the bags with comics yourself andtake them down to UPS and send them off. But the main point of it is that it's creator controlled. So thatMike and I own everything about this comic." At the end of October, the two friends will own theirseventh addition of Strange Attractors, which now comes out every two months. - Lately, the popularity of the comic is steadily growing thanks to some excellent reviews in other publications. "In terms of otherindependent comics, it does pretty well," said TJ. Tipton, co-owner at Cosmic Comics in Bellingham. "Ithas really grown in popularity," Tipton added. "Dave Sim (millionaire author of independent comicCerebus) really likes their comic. He helped them out a lot when he put a four-page preview in Cerebus.He exposed a lot more people to the comic. "It'll be interesting to see if (Strange Attractors) will be a hot back issue thing some day." Sherman said along with the honor of getting a preview in Cerebus, Strange Attractors also got positive reviews from publications such as Indy and Comic Culture. Sherman said atthis point the comic strip is just a labor of love and not a profit-oriented project. After two years he's juststarting to break even. Front/Daniel McLeod Strange Attractors comic is issued every two months."Michael and I have always wanted to become a part of the industry of creating fantastic objects andcreating your own fantastic world and that's sort of what Strange Attractors is about," Sherman said.Sherman described Strange Attractors as a "tongue-in-cheek, action-adventure, romance comic" set atsome unthinkable distance in the future where Earth as we know it is just a memory. The maincharacters are Sophie and Widow, best friends who share many adventures inthis futuristic fantasy world. Each issue ends with a cliffhanger designed to keep readers coming back for more. Sherman saidCohen had already created the basic concepts for the comic but together they finished developing thecharacters based on people they knew. With no plans to stop producing the comic, Sherman willcontinue working long hours for the satisfaction of creating a product he can call his own. "It's notamazing we made a comic, it's amazing that we're still putting them out after two years... (because) it'sreally a lot of work," Sherman said. "The comic is an open-ended project. It's kind of like the monster inthe basement that's always asking to be fed. "But this really is one of those things where it's thecreators'. There's this incredible rush you get from how much control you have and how much ability youhave to go exactly where you want to go. "If you can imagine it, you can put it in there." It's, a style thatspawned the careers of such luminaries as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and the player Trower is most often compared to â€” Jimi Hendrix. Although he never achieved the success of those players in terms of recognition, the power of his music and the passion he has for it is undeniable. "I'm at mybest in live performance," he said. "It is what I do â€” everything else s an offshoot of that. I know who Iam when 'm playing live, because so much of my life has gone into it." Trower's first band of note wasProcol Harum, a keyboard-driven late '60s/early '70s band best known today for their amaz-ng "WhiterShade of Pale." After parting ways with the band to pursue his own artistic vision, Trower came out withsuccessful solo albums like "Bridge of Sighs," "Long Misty Days" and "Robin Trower Live." But with theend of the '70s, Trower's career took a downward slide that may have finally ended with "20th CenturyBlues," a return to the blues-based rock that first made him popular. Trower's new album featuresbassist/ vocalist Livingstone Brown and drummer Mayuyu, though Trevor Murrell replaces Mayuyu for the current U.S. tour. The album, put out by Trower's own V- 12 label, has all the power of a live showbecause it was produced like one. "This record is the closest I've ever come to all that early, very earthy,'50s blood-and-guts music," Trower told Guitar Player Magazine.

Western was tiedfor third in the Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference going into the game and needed a win or tie against the Chieftains to advance. Fourth-year Head Coach Kevin Quinn was relieved to finally see his teamcome together in a must-win situation. "At the end of the season the last couple years the last gamehas been a do-or-die situation, and we've died the last two years," he said. "If s nice to have that behindus." With her team having won only one game in its last five, senior defender Courtney Kennedy didn'tknow if they would see post-season play again in her career. "I honestly didn't think we had a chance(to make the playoffs)," she said. "But a motivational speech by Kevin last night got us thinking about itand made us realize how good of a team we really are." Therainhadsubsidedby game time, but W e s te r n kicked off into a stiff wind, giving Seattle a supposed advantage. " T h e weather was afactor for both teams, but what won the game for us was having the lead going in at halftime againstthe wind," Quinn said. "We wanted to go against the wind first half, but it could cost you if you getdown a few goals. That Shonna Hall, the an SU defender. would put the pressure on you to score."The pressure was on early when the Chieftains were awarded a penalty kick after a Western hand ball in the 15th minute. Patty Neorr converted to put Seattle up 1-0. Six minutes later, junior forward ShonnaHall, the PNWAC scoring leader, took a pass from Kennedy, beat a the one- point advantage. "I toldthem at halftime to shoot the ball," he said. "What we're going to get offensively is what we're goingto give ourselves by playing defense." The Viking defense kept the Chieftains on their own half most of the game, and the offense was able to create opportunities.

The game will determine where the first round playoff will be held. If the Vikings win theywill host UPS on Wednesday. In the event of a loss the Vikings head to Tacoma to play UPS. Quinnhas high hopes for the post-season. "The last time we were in the playoffs we did well, and we'relooking forward to doing well again. This team's got too much talent and too much heart not to go as faras it can. "From now on, we want to win the last game of our season and we already made the playoffs... so now if we win the last game of the season, that's the national championship and that's our goal."defender about 15 yards out and poked the ball past the Chieftain keeper to knot the game at 1-1. Hallreturned the favor at the end of the first half, passing across the middle to Kennedy, who blasted the ballinto the middle of the net for what proved to be the game-winner. Up 2-1 at the break, it was the Vikings' turn to try out the wind, and Quinn wasn't satisfied with net. The second came from about 35 yards outand bounced over the Chieftain keeper. They don't have to be pretty to count, right? "We got two verynice goals in the first half, then two questionable goals in the second," Quinn said, laughing. "But theywent in. Hey, a goal's a goal."

McGuire was 26 when she entered Western to begin her undergraduatestudies in 1982. Now at 38 she's back for another go-round as the new intramural coordinator and sportclub adviser. "It's nice to be back working in a new position where I already know people and the CarverGym facility. I feel like I left (Western) and I'm coming back with new and improved skills that I can offerout," McGuire said. "It feels good to be able to leave an area and then come back and have something to add to the area to strengthen the area." The position opened five months ago when Tony Onofrietti leftWestern for a job in Park City, Utah. Onofrietti spent close to three years at Western building strongintramural and club sports programs. His absence left a hole that would be tough to fill. AssociateDirector of Student Activities and Recreation Marie Sather said applications for the job began pouring intoward the end of spring quarter '94. The opening was advertised on job boards nationally and locally totry and get as diverse a list of applicants as possible, Sather said. A list of nearly 70 applicants was'eventually wriittled down to just three who were then brought to Western for interviews, Sather said. Thefive-person selection panel consisted of one student employed in P.J. McGuire brings her personable 'attitude and adventurous spirit to the athletic department. intramurals, a professor from the PhysicalEducation department, arepresentative from the athletic department, a representative from studentactivities in the Viking Union and Sather. Sather said McGuire stood out among the other applicantsbecause of her good communication skills, strengths in student affairs and positive attitude. Thestudents who work with McGuire concur with the assessment. "She's really good with people and shehas a way of just getting down to business," Matt McCarter, intramural soccer supervisor, said. "She'salso got a really good sense of humor that makes her easy to work with." Ski club Head Coach JeffreySadis noted the different coordinating styles of McGuire and Onofrietti. "They're both real effective in their jobs, but Tony was more of a benevolent dictator and P. J.' s a little more democratic," he said. "It tookawhile for me to feel comfortable working with Tony, but I felt I had a good working relationship with P.J.right away. She has a great enthusiasm for athletics in general." Part of McGuire's enthusiasm for thejob comes from being brought up with an athletic background. "I grew up with a dad who was a coachand athletic director of the Northshore School District, and he played semipro (baseball) to support ourfamily," she said. "So I' ve always been in and around athletics. I was pretty much trained for this kind of work." Throughout her life, McGuire has been involved with as many outdoor activities as she could find. Her favorite sport is downhill skiing, and her favorite to watch is basketball. Although, she said shenever played competitively because of her height (or lack thereof). McGuire began teaching swimmingwhen she was 8 years old and later was aquatics director of a three-pool complex at the Gold CreekAthletic Club. At Bothell High School, she competed in swimming and tennis. While at Western sheplayed intramural softball and tried out for rugby, one of the few sports she shied away from. "I turned out for rugby twice and it scared me so I did not play,"McGuire said with a smile. "These women startedchasing me around the field and I realized that maybe rugby wasn't my sport." After graduating with adegree in exercise science, McGuire spent four years at Western working in the women's cage. In 1990, she took a position as counselor and coordinator of the office of resources for disabled students atColorado State University to further her administrative skills. When she heard about the job opening in Bellingham she saw it as a great opportunity to head back west. "I moved back to be closer to myparents because they're aging and I'm the only daughter," she said. "I wanted to be nearer to my family.I also really, really, really missed the bay, the water and just what Bellingham has to offer as acommunity. While I was in Colorado I always felt like I was missing something by not being aroundwater. It drove me crazy." With a view of the bay nearby, McGuire can relax and spend her dayswatching intramural events, getting students prepared to go on trips or troubleshooting problems withsport clubs. "Basically my hours are whenever I'm needed I'm up here," she said. McGuire said shemissed the way people work together at Western to solve those day- to-day challenges. "When I left this area I really missed the kind of people that it attracts," McGuire said. "I also missed the enthusiasm and the type of people that are into adventure. When a problem comes up they see it as an adventurerather than this huge, honking thing that none of us are ever going to be able to solve, but just assomething like 'OK, here it is. What do we do now?'" Much of McGuire's life has been an adventure, butshe says she's finally landed where she wants to be. "It's been such a long haul to get into a career,"McGuire said. "It's taken me bouncing around a lot,but I think I've done it now."

It doesn't retract, but at least, it stays off the floor. Theplace has recently been recarpeted, giving each time-share tenant a rug to call its own. Even a newcoat of paint for the ceiling has been offered, but the teams still aren't comfortable. Reopening theKingdome is like putting "The Chevy Chase Show" back on the air. It seemed like a good idea when itfirst opened, but its customers are much happier with it gone. The Mariners are tired of losing money.The team made it clear that it can't survive in Seattle without a baseball-only stadium. It's time for KingCounty to grant the Mariners' wish and build the team the stadium it desperately needs. TheSeahawks demand $120 million worth of improvements to the Kingdome. Owner Ken Behring wants anattached convention center, more bathrooms and concession stands and a life-sized statue ofSteve Largent to mount on top of the dome. (The County Council is considering the last one.) And onemore thing, he doesn't want to pay a cent. King County should give Behring exactly what he deserves. Nothing. Behring began tearing down the Seahawks the day he bought the team. The only reason theSeahawks have even a sprinkle of young talent is the team's terrible showings the past few seasons. The best day for the Seahawks in each of the past three years was draft day. Behring's Seahawks areripping off Seattle fans. In a recent Money Magazine report on value in sports, the Seahawks placed 49th out of the 83 professional football, baseball and basketball teams. The best buy for sports fans goes tothe Dallas Cowboys. That doesn't mean the Cowboys' are the cheapest. The average cost for parking,two tickets, hot dogs and sodas in Dallas is $82.90 to the Seahawks' $73.92. The Cowboys' are on topbecause the team puts a high-quality product on the field. It has both star players and a winning team.The Mariners ranked 18th on Money's list - very impressive for a franchise losing millions of dollars everyyear. The average cost of a Mariners' game, with all the fixings, for two is $33.46. (The Sonics ranked arespectable 27th overall, with a cost of $67.56 for two, 5th among NBA teams.) Money factored in eachteam's over-all facility in its rankings. The Kingdome is considered "good" for football and "belowaverage" for baseball. This means the Mariners would have ranked even higher if Seattle had a baseball-only stadium. The Seahawks don't have any excuse. The team's inflated ticket and concession pricesdon't go toward improving play on the field. The money travels two states down Interstate 5 into Behring's pocket. The Seahawks' don't have as big of an impact on the Seattle economy as the Mariners. TheSeahawks play eight home games, the Mariners play 81. King County probably isn't going to fund newor renovated stadiums for both teams. Tax payers still have an outstanding bill with the Kingdome roofer. The Mariners are a first-class organization. A new baseball stadium will not only reward the team'sefforts, but surrounding Seattle businesses as well. The Seahawks have been dishing it out for a longtime, now let's see how they take it. Freeman buries SPU with digs, kills Western increases chance ofregional play with victory By Kristi Kiteley Front reporter The Western women's volleyball team pulledtogether to win a tight match against Seattle Pacific University Wednesday. The Vikings had lost bothprevious matches this season against the Falcons, but won the best of five competition at Carver Gym,losing the first game and winning the next three. "The key to this win was that we played together,"Viking Head CoachDean Snider said. He added that the players worked well together defensively, andmade quick transitions from blocking to hitting. "We executed the plays as a team, and that's whatpulled it all together," he said. "One thing I was really proud of," Snider said, "is the fact that we had noblocking errors." Western had a total of 18 team blocks for the match, compared to SPU's 10. FalconHead Coach JoAnn Atwell-Scrivner said she was not happy with her team's performance. "We playedterribly," Atwell- Scrivner said. "Western played well and blocked when they had to. That was vital."STUDENT DISCOUNT CARD Free 20oz. Soft Drink with purchase of $2.00 or more.

There are good choices and there are great choices, and she made the great choices."Sloboden, who is ranked second in Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference for assists, had a total of 51sets in the match. "We played well against a good team," Snider said, noting that SPU had won 10 ofits last 11 matches before Wednesday's match.

Most people are asked thisquestion when they purchase a six pack of beer, not when they buy a video game. Nevertheless, thisChristmas season, all computer software and video games will carry a specific rating. In this age ofviolent entertainment, one can turn on the television and see stabbings, shootings and beatings on aregular basis. We are a society infatuated with violence. This repeated pummeling of violent imageson ones psyche cannotbedeemedpositive. When people purchase or rent a video game that makes them the catalyst in violent events during the game, a labeling system is for the better. Kids are veryimpressionable. Unfortunately, a lot of video games make the player in as a focal point for violence.Chopping, hacking, shooting and NHHH Front reporter slicing are a daily practice for kids when theycome home from school and turn on their machines. The Interactive Digital Software Association is agroup of large companies that make video games played on units that plug into televisions. Theassociation has proposed to classify games according to five age groups: early childhood (3 and older);kids to adults (6 and older); teens (13 and older); mature (17 and older); and adults only. Video gameswill carry statements that describe what level of motor and reading skills that children need to playthem and how much gore and sex are shown in games designed for older users. To receive a rating, avideogame maker would have to submit a 30-minute videotape that includes the most graphic orextreme scenes in the game to the recently created Entertainment Software Rating Board, based inNew York. A lot of money is at stake â€” about $6 billion worth of video games and equipment are soldeach year, and sales of computer games total about $500 million. A half-dozen retail stores, includingWal-Mart and Toys 'R' Us, have pledged to support the ratings system by selling the games that carrythe new ratings. It is irrelevant that this new rating system might cause a plummet in video-game sales.It is relevant that this new rating system will curb infatuation with violence, especially for kids. Someapplause is definitely in order. Con: Ratings only help kids pick out most violent games At the strongsuggestion of Senators Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., and Herbert Kohl, D-Wis., the video game industrywill begin its self-imposed content-rating system on Nov. 1. A rating system, such as the one proposedby the Interactive Digital Software Association, is nothing more than an easy-to-identify guide for children to find violent games. IDSA's system will rate appropriate levels of sex and violence for different agegroups. A more direct method would use the terms "boring," "OK," "cool" and "rad." The end-result isthe same, and it would more easily direct children to the most or least fun games. The fact is, kids seek out sex and violence, and the warning labels only make it easier. Another rating system, proposedby the Software Publishers Association, uses symbols to indicate the type of content in a game, such as a grenade to signify violence. iMfNll Stephens BiiBKB Such a system would be especiallyhelpful at reaching the children who can't read â€” just in time for the holiday shopping season. TheMotion Picture Association of America has been rating movies since 1968, and anybody who hasbeen a child since then knows how to pick the fun movies: just look for the "R" in bold print. Videogame ratings are similar, except they don't have the legal support that movie ratings do to preventchildren from seeing, renting or buying them. The new warning symbols are supposedlymeantforparents who can't or won't spend the time to watch what a child is playing or to give gamesaquickreference about their content before they are made available to a child. But if these parents aren'tspending the time to check out a video game, will they for television? By playing or watching videogames, it's easy to recognize that much of the same content is presented on any network station, where content warnings also serve as a guide to children. An anonymous manager at Encore Entertainment in Belling-ham said the video game industry is pushing the boundaries and turning out more violent games every year because it has become hip to play that kind of game. About 2,500 new video games hit themarket per year, and all are hoped to be best sellers. Businesses such as Wal-Mart and Babbages, Inc. have promised to carry only the rated games beginning Nov. 1. Kids should go to those places â€” at least they'll know what they're getting. PLANTS â€¢GARDEN SUNROOM FURNISHINGS â€¢BASKETS CONTAINERS â€¢SERVICE ADVICE â€¢GIFTS â€¢ You asked for it...

OP/ED The Western Front â€” October 28, 1994 FRONTLINE Protection orders stop harassment Inthe Oct. 25 issue of The Western Front, Cops Box reported that the police were called to escort awoman's ex-boyfriend to her home so he could retrieve his personal belongings. For some reason, thatwoman felt she needed police protection, and she did the right thing by calling the police. When peoplefeel threatened, they should use the legal channels that are available to prevent harm â€” and that startswith police protection. Domestic violence is a very real-life situation for many women and men who sufferphysical or emotional abuse by their husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends or complete strangers. More women suffer this kind of abuse than men, possibly because many men can abuse their physicalstrength to scare women into keeping quiet. Emotional abuse can confuse a woman or a man intothinking they somehow deserve it or are asking for it. The fact is, no one deserves to be abused.Protection orders are the most accessible form of protection a person can obtain. Four different types ofprotection orders are available, depending on the relationship and situation you have with the person youare filing against, but all protection orders have similar restraints against that person to restrict contact.Physical assaults, verbal threats, repeated phone calls and stalking are all common grounds forprotection orders. They cost from $30-$40 and must be paid in cash. They are filed at the Crisis Center,1410 Commercial St., or the county prosecutor's office at the Whatcom County Courthouse on GrandAvenue. Two weeks after filing your request, it will go before a judge, where he or she will review theallegations and determine if the order should be signed. The person you file against can attend andexplain his or her side of the story. A petition can be made to have the order signed immediately if you are in imminent danger. Advocates at the Crisis Center can accompany you to court for moral support. Theorder is served by the police the day after it is signed. If you haven't been been able to tell someone to get lost for fear of physical harm or hurting their feelings, let the police do it for you. Bellingham Police saidonce the order has been signed, they will not escort someone into your home because it would be aviolation of the law; that only happens when two people agree a confrontation is likely to break out withoutsupervision. If someone who you have filed a protection order against is demading his or her personalpossesions, the police suggest you find a nuetral place to drop them off and leave them. If you think youneed a protection order, get one right away. It can't hurt to do so; if you misunderstood the other person's intentions, a protection order won't hurt the relationship. Someone who cares about you shouldunderstand that your safety is important. More than 500 protection orders of different kinds have beengranted in Whatcom County this year. Stopping obsessive behavior before it gets out of control is not only safer, it's also your right. â€” Michele Anderson Op/Ed Editor The Western Front Editor-in-Chief,Vanessa Blackburn; Managing editor, Tedra Meyer; News editor, Pat McCarrell; asst.

The proof lies in the fact that one or both houses of Congresshave a decent chance of coming under Republican control in the Nov. 8 midterm elections. SomeDemocrats running for seats in the House and Senate have even made it known they don't want thepresident campaigning on their behalf. This perception of Clinton is somewhat mystifying, considering he has achieved a measure of success domestically, and domestic issues were what got him elected in 1992. Beyond some of the criticism actually being justified, Clinton's failure to achieve his owngrandiose plans and the nature of the media spotlight on him contributed to his current lack of popularity. A look at the record shows Clinton has indeed experienced quite a bit of success on the home front.He passed NAFTA and started his national service plan, Americorps, which is bigger now than thePeace Corps ever was. He cut the budget deficit so much it will go down three years in a row for the first time since the 1950s, and he cut the size of the bloated federal government by eliminating 70,000federal jobs through Vice President Al Gore's projectforreinventinggovernment. These impressiveaccomplishments are overshadowed by the biggest knock against the Clinton administration:American foreign policy or, rather, a lack of a coherent foreign policy. Clinton's recent endeavors in Haiti and Iraq don't do much to dispel that notion. Americans were divided on invading Haiti, and only timelyintervention by psuedo-Secretary of State Jimmy Carter prevented the invasion. The ousting of Haiti'sdictator and the return of Aristide has gone more smoothly than anybody could have hoped for, butnumerous problems still remain. Aristide's very survival and his ability to form an effective government,not to mention elections, the restoration of the Haitian economy and the creation of a new policeforce and army are in limbo. The Haitian situation could explode in Clinton's face at any time, raisinglouder questions than ever about why America is involved in Haiti. Saddam Hussein's sabre-rattling inthe Middle East was a no-brainer in terms of ho w to respond (just send in the troops). But if Clintonwants to prevent Hussein from pulling America's chain whenever the urge strikes, he must come up witha credible, long-term policy to deter further Iraqi aggression against its Middle Eastern neighbors. During his run for the presidency, Clinton touted the economy and health care reform as his biggestpriorities. The relative strength of the economy is beyond the control of any president (just askGeorge Bush). In his attempt to please everybody, Clinton pleased nobody and bungled his chance atany kind of serious health care reform. With the exception of NAFTA, which squeaked by Congress,Clinton's domestic achievements didn't attract as much attention from the press as did economic andhealth care reform problems â€” the "glamourous" issues Clinton himself harped on throughout thepresidential campaign. Clinton lived â€” and died â€” by the press. Clinton has had a good measure ofdomestic legislative success during his nearly two years in office. Nevertheless, he is stifled by weakforeign policy and failure on the big issues that the public uses to judge presidential leadership. Thefocus of the press on these failures, at the expense of lesser-known but still important successes,doesn't help. The public's overall negative impression of Clinton could result in a Republican-controlledCongress, which would make any legislative success for Clinton even more fleeting. ---------- Western Front - 1994 October 28 - Page 15 ---------- October 28, 1994 â€” The Western Front OP/ED. 15 Letters to the Editor Angry reader sounds off aboutad Dear Editor, Enough is enough. I have been following the Club Borneo tragedy since its birth in "our"newspaper a month ago. I, like so many people on this campus, have felt disbelief, anger, hopelessnessand much heartache. We are supposed to be a campus that supports the theory of cultural sensitivity.We are supposed to be a campus that is inviting to people of color. We are supposed to produce anewspaper that represents the whole student body. I say "we" because we all share in the responsibilityof educating one another. Mike Tholfsen's letter to the Editor (Oct. 21) was not only uneducated butlacked basic compassion and sensitivity. The letter reeked with the "I have aBlack friend" syndrome. It isridiculous to assume that because one has an "African- American half-sister" they are removed fromracism. Mr. Tholfsen also states that Western was the only campus to publicly complain. He is belittlingcomplaints by Western's students and staff by comparing us to unresponsive populations. He isjudging us to be irrational. Overall, these "facts" that Mr. Tholfsen outlined are merely poor attempts atjustifying ignorant behavior. As a person of color on this campus, I am extremely dispirited. I am angrythat The Western Front continues to support Club Borneo's harmful advertisements. I am angry that TheFront has excluded a portion of the student body in its representation. I am angry that so many people onthis campus don't find the advertising pieces to be offensive. I am angry that people of color are fightingso hard to survive on this campus, and are faced with yet another battle. I am angry. Yoko Shimomura If ad goes, so should mascot Dear Editor, I am pleased to see that you' ve finally been made aware thatthe function of a newspaper is to avoid offending people, whatever the reason for their anger or therationality of their complaint. Getting rid of that offensive little cartoon is only the first step, however. As a middle-aged, white male from the Midwest, I would like to see you get to work on the elimination of theViking as mascot for the university sports teams. Vikings have been unfairly depicted in the popularpress as insensitive, uncaring louts who pillage and spoil without consideration for the feelings of others.Lies, all lies. We Norwegians are quiet, stoic individuals who are awash in an Alan Alda-ish sea offeelingsâ€”but just too shy to complain about the slings and arrows we suffer in the media. Efforts atforming support groups have been unsuccessful: few of our grant applications have received funding, andour informational picketing, which involved chants of "Hell, no! We won't travel to foreign lands andconquer the natives!", were met with silence from the press. Could you help us? Please consider that your main purpose as the Western student press is to be sensitive to the offenses, imagined or otherwise,which are committed every day by everyone on campus. Actual reporting of the news â€” or running adsthat are paid for by commercial enterprises â€” is a minor consideration and not worthy of much time orconcern. Dick Carlson DO YOU HAVE ASTHMA?

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, gt;£A¥ 29, 1921 NO. 27 WESTERN I BE BYE TWENTY-ONE COUNTIES TO BE BENEFITED THROUGH THIS WORK Dr. Nash has just returned from Spokane. He reports that through mutual agreement the extension territory of the state has been distributed among the various Normal schools. The territory assigned exclusively to the Bellingham Normal includes Clallam, Island, Jefferson, Kitsap, San Juan, Skagit, Sno-hmish and Whatcom Counties. Jointly with Ellensburg we have King, Pierce, Mason, Thurston, Grays Harbor, Wahkiakum, Clarke, Cowlitz, Lewis, Skamania and Pacific Counties; jointly with Cheney, Okanogan and Chelan Counties. Thus, the extension work of this school will enter 21 of the 36 counties of the state — all counties west of the Cascades. — B. S. N. S. - Fl TO BE 13 The annual May Festival, given by the Physical Education Department of the Normal School, is to be held in the armory on Saturday evening, May 13th, at 8 o'clock. This is to be a demonstration of the practical work done by the girls in the gymnasium classes under the direction of Miss Vera Moffat and her assistant, Miss Pauline Bornstein. The program consists of the following: 1 — Grand march. 2 —Wand drill. 3 — Oxdansen, a Swedish folk dance representing a mock fight. 4— Swedish exercises. This is an ordinary " day's order," embracing exercises for the entire body, to develop quickness and accuracy of movement, correct posture and balance. 5 — Stunts, special students. These require a considerable degree of skill, balance, strength and control. 6 —Musical selection. 7 — Indian club drill. 8 — "Dawning," an aesthetic interpretative dance of "At Dawning," by Cadman. (Continued on page 2.) IS RE-ELEGTED FOR CO-OP. At its meeting Thursday, May 14, the Board of Control of the Students' Association re-elected Mr. C. C. Baugh-man manager of the Co-op for a term of two years, the new term to begin in June. Mr. Baughman has served the Normal Book Store as manager for the past five years, and this re-election is sufficient eulogy. Under his efficient management the store is doing about three times the amount of business it was doing when he took charge, and this is true in spite of the adverse conditions whicli have confronted the business world during his service. It is a good thing to stop occasionally and take a kind of inventory of the advantages our school presents its students; and all will agree that the spirit of our book store is " Service of the best quality, for the people, of the people, by the people, past, present and future, in rain and in shine, or in any kind of weather." Accommodation and geniality are two great virtues of a business man, and these are prominent qualities of Mr. Baughman's character. In a word, instead of congratulating the manager upon the occasion of his re-election, let us congratulate ourselves upon our good luck in being able to retain so efficient an officer in our school community, one who has inspired the confidence of the whole community, and whose business success has been founded upon this wejl_ placed confidence. B.S. N.S. NORMAL TAKES PART IN TULIP FESTIVAL L T Tonight at 8 o'clock in the auditorium the Men's Association is giving a high class vaudeville show.

All closses were dismissed at 3 o'clock, to give students an opportunity to see the game. Our boys led the Whatcomites until the third inning when the situation was reversed and remained so through the rest of the game. Our boys made a desperate rally in the eighth inning when Karlson and Coles each batted the ball for two bases and Inge got a single. These hits brought in Bohanan, Elder and Inge, making the score ten to five in Whatcom's favor. This score, in spite of the efforts on the part of our team remained unchanged during the ninth inning. Our team as a whole was not hitting as well as Whatcom, making six hits and Whatcom twelve during the game. The next date with Whatcom will be played at Elks Park May Cth. The Normal lineup was as follows: Prevost, pitcher; Coles, catcher; Wright, .first base; Inge, second base; Jenkins, third base; Elder, shortstop; Bohanon, -** (Continued on page 2.)

SCHOOL CO-OPERATES WITH TOWNSPEOPLE IN MAKING FESTIVAL BIG SUCCESS The Tulip Festival beginning Monday evening, May 2, with the coronation festivities at the Armory and continuing the next day with a great Tulip Parade will be one of the most elaborate affairs that have, ever been attempted on the coast. Dr. Nash is president of the Bellingham Community Service. Another Normal faculty member who takes an active interest in Community Service is Mr. W. C. Weir, who has the direction and supervision of the work. Bellingham has a greater interest than any other town of its size in Community Service. The co-operation and ability of the leaders and willing workers has culminated in this splendid manifestation of public service. Our Normal and Training School stu- (Continued on page 2.) L Do the students of this institution fully realize what a busy man their president is? This article will show that many activities outside of our school life also demand a great deal of his time and attention. Friday evening Dr. Nash is to judge a debate in Seattle between the U. of W. and O. A. C. May 20th he makes a commencement address at Adna. As president of the Western Washington Sunday School Association, he will preside at the convention that will be held in Bellingham June 6th. June 11th he will give the opening address of the Lutheran Convention in Everett. June 14th Dr. Nash delivers a commencement address in Aberdeen. He has been elected delegate at large - of the Presbyterian church to represent the state in a national council which will meet in Los Angeles the first week of July. Dr. Nash has also been asked to give a series of lectures in the summer school in Hawaii. B.S. N.S.

PART IN TULIP FESTIVAL (Continued from page 1.) dents are going to take an active and charming part in both the cornoation ceremonies and the parade. The scenario for the coronation has . been written by Mr. Victor Hoppe. The scenario contains the Court of Winter, the Court of Time;, subjects of Tulip Town and the Court of the Queen. The part of King Winter is taken by Mr. Coughlin who co-operated with Mr. Hoppe in his clever plans for the coronation. This court is coached by Mrs. Smith another of Mr. Hoppe's assistants. Father Time in the Court of Time is represented by Mr. Don Gray, a local man and actor. Children of the Bellingham grade schools represent the subjects of Tulip Town, as Tulip Sprites, Earth Gnomes, Welcoming Winds and Maidens of the Sunlight. The Court of the Queen represents the winning queen, Alice Hughie, attended by her nine defeated candidates, Marion Chisholm, our Normal Candidate; La Verne Farlow, Myrtle Latimer, Loretta Duvall, all of Bellingham; Nellie Brown, Lynden; Garnette Walker, Burlington; Laura May Clarkson, Ferndale; Esther Reddick, Fairhaven High School; Isabelle Erickson, of the Whatcom High School, and Isabelle Downs, Mount Vernon. The Training School is to have a queen from the kindergarten department. Mrs. Witten, who is supervising this pageant, presented an outline for the Training School's part in the parade that was unanimously selected by the other supervisors. The Training School parade is centered around the kindergarten queen who rides in a two-wheel silver cart, drawn by Brownies of the first grade. Clowns of the eighth and ninth grades announce the arrival of the queen. The queen's banner is to be carried by boys of the first and second grades. The Training School banner is to be carried by boys of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. Girls of the second, third, fourth and fifth grades are to be maids. Girls of the remaining grades are to be flower girls. Mrs. Witten met with the three art teachers, Miss Druse, Miss Boring and Miss Landis, to work out the. costumes and material to be used by the Training School. The primary department made 250 cut paper tulips which are to trim the costumes, pinned on the hems of the white dresses. The upper grades made 30 helmets and 30 shields. The girls made tulip caps of crepe paper, designed by Miss Landis. The designs for the shields and arrangement of tulips on the dresses was also designed by Miss Landis. The Art Department has general supervision of all the art work for the fancy costuming for the children. ' Plans are also made for the entire student body of the Normal to take part in the parade. Miss Moffat of the Physical Education Department assisted by Mr. Coughlin, have charge of the girls' military drill and the Literary Club formation. Each club is to march in its own line and present different marching evolutions. Following these will come twenty-four girls in military and fancy formations who will march on various street corners. The non-club girls will follow in groups of eight and will do some inarching following the military tactics. All the girls are to wear white middy suits. The club girls will wear blue and white Dutch caps, alternating the colors, and blue middy ties to carry out our Normal colors. The Men's Association has plans for a float decorated in our national colors in which Miss Catherine Shepherd dressed as the Goddess of Liberty and Mr. Cone as Uncle Sam, will ride. Marching before them will come the Minute Men with fife and drum, and carrying a flag. Representatives of the Revolutionary War period will also march ahead of the car. Some of our Normal boys will march, dressed either in their khaki uniforms or navy suits. Plans are also being worked out for a probable float representing some other period of our history. Mr. Heckmann has been assisted in these plans by Mr. Bond, Mr. Kolstad and four Normal boys, Herbert Hansen, Frank Allison, Clinton Pruner and Lawrence Wright. The suggestion that the Men's Association take a definite part in the parade was made by Director Weir. The Normal School is glad of the opportunity to co-operate with the people of Bellingham in their huge celebration of the disposal of King Winter and his powerful allies, Strong Tide, North Wind, Arctic Snow, Tide Rips and Jack Frost and the ascendency to the throne of the Queen of Tulip Town with the Maidens of Sunlight, Tulip Sprites, Warm Winds and Spring Rain. B.S.N.S. ANNUAL MAY FESTIVAL TO BE GIVEN MAY 13 (Continued from page 1.) 9 — Dancing on the green, a folk dance to give the players the joy and freedom of wholesome play. 10 —Dumbell drill. 11—: Fancy military marching. • Both Miss Moffat and the students have put forth every effort possible to make this demonstration a success, and all of those who saw the festival of last year know something of what to expect from them. The Normal appreciates the fact that the use of the armory was given to them for the demonstration, free of charge. There will be no admission. Mr. Bissell has kindly assisted to do the printing and the costumes are purchased by the school out of the funds from the demonstration of last year. The students are making the costumes and they are then returned to the school after the demonstration for further use. The school and the community are looking forward to May 13th with much anticipation and Miss Moffat and Miss Bornstein deserve much credit for their work. — B.S.N.S.

The last two games are to be played at Elks' Park. May 14th has been set aside as the date for the track meet with Whatcom. Judging from the records made by Whatcom in a recent inter-class meet, the Normal track. team will be a good match for Whatcom. The students were very glad to see Mrs. Thatcher again in assembly Wednesday. It seems very good to have her with us once more. Miss Gaynor and her sister, Miss Boyd, pupils of Mr. Mount, a former Normal student, entertained with three pretty songs. The first and perhaps the sweetest song which Miss Gaynor sang was " The Blush Rose." A gentleman who was taking pictures of Bellingham wished to photograph the life of the Normal, so a very lively crowd paraded before his camera. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 29 - Page 3 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1921 iitititmuHuiiiunuuiit;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuHiiuiiiHiiiii|iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiij| ALUMNI il, I n l l 1IM1IMIMIIMIMIIMIMIMIMI1M1II1IIII1I Illlllll I Mill I I lllV= CiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiniiiiMiiiiiiiiiii "it" uiimiiimmiiiiiiiiii iimmiiimiiiiimiinmr; Mrs. Lydia Manchester Jones, a graduate of last summer, is now teaching in Seattle. * * * Dennis Troth '17 is teaching at the University. * * * Marcella Craft, a graduate of the Normal, is now assistant in German at the " U." * # * Avis Dodge, a graduate of '19, is teaching in Vancouver. * # * Gladys Hepton '18 is living at her home in Lewiston, Idaho. * * * Mr. Ewing, who is now teaching in the city, is to be superintendent of the Blaine Schools next year. * * * Chester Tee Garden '18 is teaching at Hamilton. * * * Hazel Beach, a graduate of '19 and a former assistant in art at Normal, is attending the university this year. * * * Nettie Thompson '19 is teaching in Ketchikan, Alaska. * * * Marian Osborn '18 is teaching at Port Orchard. * * * Among our undergraduates we find Vivienne Croxf ord at Three Lakes, Pearl Stroughton at Snohomish, Clarence Johnson at Statche Prairie, Elenore Mead at Entiat, Mabel Walters at Mount Vernon and Vera Merchant at Burlington. B.S.N.S. SENIORS WIN MARATHON Last Saturday was the official day set for the annual Marthon race. For some reason or other Mother Nature decided to give us a downpour of H20 on the morning of that important day, with the result that instead of having Chuck-anut alive with Normalites the old mountain enjoyed a rather quiet day. However, a few of Normal's hearts remained undaunted and scaled the slippery side of the old hill. The Seniors won the race by a small margin over the Juniors and the faculty was also represented by a few names. The total number who reached the top of Chuckanut and registered was 44.

The " W " Club sent two uplifting entertainers who gave several short sketches. They gained a volume of applause for their cleverness. Many Normal students attended their show at the Whatcom High School that night. After this short relaxation, the students took an intelligence test, directed and presented by Mr. Kolstad. One of the purposes of this test was to get the intelligence average of this school, to be compared with other schools. We wonder—. * * * James W. Evans, a Y. M. C. A. entertained in Paris during the war, gave a short talk on the " Inner Workings of the Amusement Business," in Monday's assembly. Mr. Evans has been in the amusement business for twenty-five years. He gave a plea for better shows, but maintained that managers give the public shows that they want. The public are the judges as to the kind of shows that will be shown the most often. Mr. Evans said, " It is up to the people what the civilizing influences of this country will be. The talk was full of wit and common sense, and immensely enjoyed, as the applause at the close proved. B.S.N.S. ELKS' SHOW . Last Monday and Tuesday the annual Elks' show was given at the American Theatre. This time the show was a high type of musical comedy, carrying with it a few intense dramatic situations. This show is of more than ordinary importance because of the fact that a large majority of the girls were Normal girls, and men. Along with the show was a style show. This display of styles was as interesting as that held by the students last week. Those that took part in both the style show and the play were the Misses Chisholm, McCush, Mouso,, Lee, Oberlatz, McCush, Hinds and Richard Newton. See Us for High Grade Candies at Popular Prices F.

Sargent Girls' Athletics Dorothy Bell SCHOOL DAYS By Lois WILMA OSBORN There's a little school house standing in a hollow, And the friendly hills protect it from all woe, There's a little winding trail that I must follow, And down it every day there I must go. There's a friendly look about the schoolhouse shining, Where the sagebrush loves to grow around the door, I often wonder — will I be repining When the door is closed and locked forever more? Won't I miss those boys and girls and merry chatter? Won't I think of hours spent there again some day? And recall again the busy, noisy clatter, When I'm gone from it, in years so far away? Yes, I'm sure I'll long some time to see the hollow, Where the little schoolhouse stands in sun or gale, And in dreams gt;once more I certainly shall follow Across those hills — that little winding trail. INK - .. -;:-:;™;- What is the exact power of ink in our modern every day life? Who does not admit that ink has made him sad, happy, ambitious, discouraged or indifferent? A letter comes, some friend has used this powerful medium of communication to make us happy. We read a book, either for entertainment or for knowledge. Each page is printed in ink. The daily newspaper appears splattered and splashed with inked headlines and we keep abreast of what is happening in the world today. Ink in swift and trained hands amuses us. Bud Fisher and many others of his talent would languish and fade without this medium to toss their cleverness before the world. Ink has laid the foundations for towering structures of the world. Cosy vine-covered bungalows and stately colonial mansions all had their beginning with ink. People acknowledge that they live for the pleasure the ink on their weekly or monthly checks bring them. Who is not under the spell of this magical fluid — ink! TULIP QUEEN CONTEST Last Monday night the Tulip Queen contest was ended and Miss Alice Hughie was elected. She was the candidate of the Central Labor Council. We are glad she won, but at the same time we feel that our own school had a candidate in the field and who was only half supported. There is more than one kind of failure. One of the greatest failures is to start out to do something, then fall down on the job. Next time let's all pull together and put our candidate overf TRAINING SCHOOL'S PART IN THE TULIP PARADE ANY NORMAL GIRL Look into her eyes and you see a little angel; look a little longer and you see a little imp! Also — One hour a day to study — One hour a day in which to eat — Two hours to think how tired I am — • And twenty hours to sleep! A prejudice is a conviction not shared by you. GOSSIP We have all heard the expression, " Give the devil his due." Perhaps, we do give that notorious personage all he deserves, but we are not always so charitable with our neighbors. How often we have believed the worst — not the best — of an acquaintance! How quick we credit every bit of gossip we hear! Or, if we don't believe it, we think of it every time we meet the person. Many of us would not think of taking a pencil belonging to another student, but carelessly, thoughtlessly we, by an unkind word, take away his good name! We may not rob him of his reputation all at once; but a little insinuation, a thoughtless remark, is not forgotten by our hearers. • It seems to be human nature to forget all the good things heard of a person, and remember only the bad. If only we all were kinder in our judgments of fellow students, school would be a happier place. When we hear some ugly gossip, consider it a lie until we have the proof. And above all, don't repeat it. Let's try to give our neighbors the benefit of the doubt. A large banner, made of blue with " Normal Training School" in white letters is to be carried by three boys. Fifteen clowns will follow them announcing the arrival of the queen. These clowns shall wear large paj gt;er bags, the top of which is in the form of a tulip. Sweaters will be stuffed and put on at the waist line. Boys, wearing helmets to match the shields, made of gray building paper with a silver band across the front and a red tulip in the center, will represent the knights who come next. These will be grouped to form a triangle. A banner of white on which will be the gold letters, " Our Queen," will be carried by two Brownie boys. This parade is centered around the queen who is a little kindergarten girl, drawn about by Brownies. Queen is laced in by garlands of flowers carried by girls wearing white dresses, around the bottom of which are tulips. They will have red and yellow hats, alternating, green bands which fasten under the chin. Flower girls dressed in white, with bands around their hair, will all carry baskets. The supervisors who were requested by Dr. Nash to co-operate with the school and townspeople in giving the tulip parade, had a meeting and voted unanimously to accept the plan as outlined by Mrs. Witten, which is the one that has just been given. The art teachers, Misses Druse, Boring and Landis, consented to work out the patterns. They are supervising the Training School children who are making the material to be worn. Mrs. Witten wishes to express her thanks to the Misses Druse, Boring and Landis, and Training School supervisors for their assistance and cooperation. The following is the committee which has charge: Chairman, Mrs. Witten; queen, Miss Tompkins; Brownies, Miss Montgomery; maids, Miss Gordon; flower girls, Miss Crawford; knights, Miss McDonald; clowns, Miss Wallace; garlands and banners, Misses Bell and Moffat. B. S. N. S. COLLEGE EDUCATION " To be at home in all lands and all ages; to count nature a familiar acquaintance, and art an intimate friend; to gain a standard for the appreciation of other men's work and the criticism of one's own; to carry the keys of the world's library in one's pocket, and feel its resources behind one in whatever tasks he undertakes; to make hosts of friends" among the men of one's own age who are leaders in all walks of life; to lose one's self in generous enthusiasm and co-operate with others for common ends; to learn manners from students who are gentlemen, and character from professors who are Christians — these are the returns of a college for the .best four years of one's life. " Not every student comes to that fullness of living, but every student is helped toward it by his college life, and no one who ever lived within college walls needs to be told that these things were held out to him." — Exchange. B. S. N. S. In "Chips of Jade" Arthur Guiii man has rendered a number of Chipese and Indian proverbs into English of epigrammatic power. Here maxim: • "Recorded words are fetters; i When angry don't write letters." And a story is swiftly sketched in two lines : "Two sparrows for one rice grain made a riot; The cat was arbitrator — all is quiet." ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1921 April 29 - Page 5 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1921 SOCIETY nniiiiiniKuiiuiiimiittititiitiitiiiimilimilHmimilNutilmiuiimlltil liMiiiiiiiuiuilulliiiliiiiLmimillMiiiuUiiiiiaiiuiiniiiiimml t maHunii riliiimiltiluiuiiiiiiiiiiniiiliimliiililmlliiJiilililiiinnniiiiumuiiiiluitijiiiiiiiiiiMliiMtitiiiiiiuuiiiiiiimliiiiiiiimiiiiiii niiiiiMiiintiiiiiiiliiiliiiuuuuitmuiiiiiiHiiuiuuiiiili ramiuiiuiuiiuiuiuuiiiiu iSiuSiiniMlimiltlltltimtlim " tmnmimmillllll I UlllllllllllltllllllllllllllliHllllllllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIUIIIinillllllllllllliUUIlUlllllllUllll Eva and Elsie Kankonnen, of Astoria, regon, visited their sister, Brigetta, at Jens Hall over the week end. * * # Dorothy Jones and Marion SChisholm ent the week end in Carbonado.

The first trial was a clean knockout, Wallock using a stick of firewood- (padded) to do the job.

These barriers shielded her from her enemies while she developed a remarkable civilization. Then she shut herself behind these barriers and stopped developing, and when she woke up she found herself four thousand years behjnd the times. A minor reason was her worship of ancestors.

XXXI—NO. 33 WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 2, 1933 is DISIRBIITION TODAY First Two Hundred Students Who Present Themselves Will Receive 1933 Annual I t 's here! The 1933 personality Klipsun will be distributed this afternoon to the first two hundred students who present themselves for it. And personality is a good adjective. Eileen Morrison, editor, has suceed-ed in creating an annual that represents the very breath and spirit of our school. Here are its features: The phetographs have been described as being the "clearest, best- . looking that have been in an annual for many years." The engraving shows careful workmanship, and the photography is as artistic as could be desired. The cover a modern red and black design on a gray background, is excellent. The division pages are something new! Instead of art work these pages are photographs of personalities representing the section which they head. The personality pages cap—two pages of sketches of the people behind the scenes in school activities. This is the most interesting page in the book. The writeups, give the book its charm, and they are new and appealing, quite different from the ordinary writeups in annuals. The makeups show an attempt to get away from the established things. Notice the arrangement! These and many other features make this Klipsun one of the best which have appeared in all time. NORMALITE .SPECIALS CELOFANE A PLAN By PAUL M. JACKSON Last Saturday I was standing on Holly street watching a greengrocer paint prices on his window. "Green Peas, 6 pound for 25c; Special." "Tomatoes , so much; cucumbers, so much; Special." Then with a grand flourish, or perhaps it was a gesture of despair which he realized that he could not find room on his window to special all his wares, he painted; " E V E R Y T H I N G SPECIAL". W.S.N.S.- A sign on a truck boldly announced: Liquid Celofane. So great was my curiosity that I flagged the driver and demanded details... Everyone knows how instantaneously popular cellophane became for wrapping practically every commodity that is fit for display to the public. All wares from toothbrushes to candy is attractively covered in the new product derived from wood. But Liquid Celofane opened up a world of possibilities. It is, I discovered, peculiarly fitted to give a lasting and, beautiful finish to cars, floors, walls, cabinets, anything thaLis exposed to the deteriorating effects of the air.. Such a product is one more step toward—. W.S.N.S. — Comment from a person who had just finished reading 100,000,000 Guinea Pigs: "My gosh! is there anything I can buy. or eat?"

Sophs Are Giving Yearly Award for High Scholarship Mary Brock to Receive Silver Cup with Her Name Inscribed Each year one freshman receives a silver trophy from the sophomore class of the school for scholastic achievement in all subjects. Mary Elizabeth Brock, graduate of Whatcom high school, was awarded the trophy this year. The handsome silver cup will be inscribed with the winner's name, and the winner will keep the cup for a year. Mary Brock has many interests in life. Her greatest desire at present is to complete her teacher training in order that she may teach in a Junior high school. She is also very much interested in science, and hopes that later on she may qualify as an assistant in a chemical laboratory. She has already decided to continue her work in science in order to achieve that ambition. From information secured from her best friend it was discovered that Mary does "not care for sports. "Her health will not permit her to engage in strenuous activities," said the informant. "While most people never get close enough to Mary to know just what kind of a person she really is, I know that she is one of the wittiest and most clever persons I have ever known. She is pleasant to talk too, does not think her scholastic attainment should be taken too seriously, but she is, naturally, very proud of receiving the award." COMPETITION IS CLOSE Ladder Tournaments Are Drawing to a Climax This Week While rain has been holding up the play in the Tuesday and Thursday tennis class, the competition in the Wednesday and Friday class is nearing completion. Shaffer and Jensen emerged from their matches last Wednesday as winners and will play for the championship of that class. Shaffer defeated Erickson to go into the finals and Jensen defeated Jones. They played one set of their championship match last Wednesday, which Jensen won, and will complete the matches tftis Friday. The Tuesday and Thursday class has not met for the last couple of weeks because of bad weather and because the varsity tennis team was using the courts for matches. Because of this, the matches in this class have not reached the quarterfinal stage yet. It is doubtful whether the play will be completed in this tournament as there is not much time left. q— George Lilligard visited his brother in Tacoma last week-end. GIVEN NEXT WED. Dot Fiala Has Charge of Affair; Men's Chorus Presented, Also Scholarship Cup Wednesday, June T, has been set for the annual class day of the graduating class. Davy Jones and Dorothy Fiala have charge of the assembly program to be presented at 11 o'clock. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe is the class adviser for the occasion. There are many class formalities to be taken care of at that time, among them being the presentation of the freshman cup awarded to the member of the freshman class who has highest scholarship for the school year of three quarters. Pat Allan will present the cup as president of the sophomore class. Djoris McElmon has held the cup for the past year. Music Is Given A program of music has been arranged including many numbers by the Men's chorus who will be making their first official appearance this year. Ransford Wise will present a clarinet solo as an intermission number. George Barbo will sing several tenor solos. The program, although not definitely settled, will probably include some natural dancing numbers or a short dramatization of some kind. Prexy to Give Address President Fisher will, as usual, give the final address to the nineteen hundred and thirty-three graduates of the Bellifigham State Normal school. (Continued on Page Two) GAMPGRAFT GLASS VISITS SILVER LAKE Week-end Spent Far from City; Real Experience Gained Carrying out the methods learned in the Campcraft class, eighteen members of that class made a trip to Silver lake last week-end. The following students made the trip: James Barnhart, Marvin Al-lyn, Roger Chapman, Carl Barbo, Wesley Cole, Ralph Childs, Sidney Comfort, Abner Breakey, Fred Knapman, George McMeen, Don Matheny, Jim McNeely, Clifton Per-ryman, Harold Berenston, Ralph Shenenberger, James S t o d d a r d, Herman Tegenfeldt, Bill Moultray, Donnie Van Doren. After the five-mile hike from,Maple Falls to the lake, games were played that would be suitable for any camping trip; such as baseball and (?) fire-building. In the evening stories were told and games were played, also a huge bonfire was kept going until all turned in. The boys returned Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Ruin of Ancient Greek Structure Described by an Art Enthusiast Have you noticed the picture which hangs across the hall from the auditorium? It is that of the Athenian Acropolis. The buildings are located on a percipitous and lofty flat-topped hill. The hill is about one thousand feet long by five hundred feet wide, and reachs its maximum elevation of five hundred and twelve feet on the northeast side. Prior to the fifth century B. C. an ancient Pelesgian wall surrounded the plateau; but this has fallen into ruin, except on the north side. Around the base to the hill, especially on the south are grouped numerous temples and theaters, the chief of these being the Temple of Aescul Apius, the Theater of Dionysus, and the Odeon or Herod Atticus. A series of edifices occupy the summit. Among these buildings are the Pro-pylaea, the Pinacotheca, the Temple of Nike and the Parthenon. Parthenon Is Famous Probably the most familiar of these buildings is the Parthenon. This building is two hundred twenty- eight feet by one hundred one feet. The Parthenon was constructed in 447 B. C. and by 438 A. D. it was ready for the reception of the great statue Athene Parthenos. The temple seems to have remained practically intact until its conversion into a church in the Byzantine times.

It can't be done, it was discovered, so a motion was made to use hands, which were made before forks anyway. This was all decided at the Klipsun picnic over at Loganita lodge last Monday evening, where the staff celebrated the finished annual. After a dinner of said fried chicken with all the trimmings the group adjourned to the reception hall where cards and pool were played. Soon four of the more courageous souls braved the icy waters of Pu-get Sound and when we say icy we Board of Control Decides Question Summer Viking Work to Count as Full Quarter Whether the five issues of the Northwest Viking which will be issued will be termed a full quarter's work or an extension of the spring quarter was the main topic of the Board of Control meeting Monday, May 29. Mrs. Ruth Burnet, faculty adviser of the paper, said that if the five weeks were to count the same as a full quarter, sufficient material would be given to qualify as a n extra quarter's work for pins.

While, in those days of boating, swimming, picnicking, and mosquito-ing, we sing a song entitled "Yo Ho, Ho, and a Bottle of Lotion" to our sunburned hides, • we will also be thinking of things in this year of school that will bring back memories and make us smile. Perhaps it will be the pleasant memory of that famous "Cremo Program" when Thue and his Jazz Babies caused so many extra flut-terings under the fifth rib . . . the silver-voiced Adonis crooned that "Play Piddle, Play" to, the ladies . . '. Hie crooner of southern melodies sang the gents to sleep . . . and the "Singing Violins" charmed us all— (maybe it was charm.)

Campus Day with its plenty of work, paddle squad, and lots to eat . . . Campus day- with its aftereffects of sore muscles, droopy eyelids, and grouchy pals, and strong liniment for the bruises galore. Perhaps it will be Mr. Arntzen's eternal "time line" on which he builds the history of the universe . . Or Professor Williams' verification of the fact that a genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration . . . Or Miss Kangley's sweet "D'yuh see?" Or maybe it will be the fond memory of your "varsity drag shoes"— down at the heels and up at the toes —Or you might recall the innumerable times when you wandered into Baughman's to touch a habitue of the place for a sody.—Or maybe you could smile at the time you talked them out of giving you a "dock" in credits when you had quit counting your skips at the eighteenth one.— Aw, gee! And remember Vernie's million-dollar smile when he led those yells?—Jimmie's language when he made rec-hour announcements?— Prexy's talks on the Budget and In-itative 64 and the Income tax bill?— And the grand scram at noon on Fridays at the main door?—The little scram at the bulletin board?— the "fly bait house"?—And last, but not least, don't forget our obliging Co-op, and Sam Ford's smile when we bought peanuts. Fifth Grade Sees Colors in Nature Tapestries and Architecture Are Upper Grade Projects Athletes like Walt Sinko and men of business like Junior Dornblut have not had a monopoly this year on the study of analogous colors and rhythm in works of art. The same subject has formed the nucleus of fifth grade art study in the campus school. As a climax for the term's project and in correlation with a study of the nation's parks, the entire grade, with Miss Eleanor Osborn and Miss Hazel Plympton as chaperons, went for a blue-and-white bus journey last Tuesday afternoon to centers of interest in local parks and gardens. Trees Are Not All Green At Fairhaven Park rose garden the many shades of green were observed, and looking from this height at nearby slopes, the class discovered trees in brown, yellow, gray, red, and purple-brpwn.

Piano students of Miss Strange who played were: Christine Albers, Oselio Ivarson, Wayne Boys, Suzanne Cissna and Clara Vander Griend. Mr. Bushell and Miss Strange played a sonata by Grieg, which was composed for the 'cello and piano.. The outstanding number on the evening's program was a concerto played by a string ensemble. It was composed of Frank Forstrom and Irene Jackson, first violin; Dan Botts and Veryll Ryckman, second violin; John Monroe and Harry Leatha, viola; Donald Bushell, 'cello, and Betty Joch, bass. The ensemble was assisted by Miss Strange at the second piano and Lowe Bar-truff at the organ. o BANQUET POSTPONED Alumna Meting Is to be Held Wednesday, June 28 The Alumni association will not hold their meeting this year at the usual time, President C. H. Fisher has announced. In former years the meeting has been held the Saturday before the close of the spring quarter. "This year, we have decided to postpone the meeting until Wednesday, June 28," President Fisher said. "The reason for this is that many of the old students are teaching and cannot get here at the other date. Also many of them are back here to take summer work and they will not have to make a special trip. By making the time of the meeting later, we hope to have a larger attendance." The meeting will be held Wednesday, June 28, at the Hotel Leopold at 6:30. A special effort will be made to get the members of the five-year classes back. This includes those who were graduated in 1903, 1908, 1913, 1918, 1923 and 1928. o TEA HONORING JONES AND SHUMWAY GIVEN Many Students and Faculty Present; Helen Jacklin, Chairman Taking place in gt; the blue room of Edens hall, a tea was given from 3 to 5 o'clock Wednesday by the Women's League council in honor of Miss Adele Jones and Miss Ruth Shum-way, dean of women, and Women's League adviser, respectively, who are leaving at the close of spring quarter. During the affair both Miss Jones and Miss Shumway were presented with a gift by Helen Jecklin, chairman, for their work and interest with the girls. Ethel Page, Madalyn Snider and Pauline Chetwood tertained the large number of students and faculty present with musical selections. Sub-chairmen assisting Helen were Betty Jock, decorations; Deborah Altose, reception; Louise Lawrence, invitation; Elizabeth Schuele, refreshments; and Maddine Snider, program.

The quarter got off to a flying start with the concert by the famous Hungarian violinist, Joseph flzegetti, on March 29. This was the final one of a series of Musical Artists' course. On April 3, a lecture by Lincoln Steffens, noted lecturer and writer, was the feature of the assembly. Mr. Steffen's talk, which was on the subject of current problems, was one of the most stimulating ever presented here at Normal. With the advent of spring itself, attention was turned toward the lighter aspects of school life, such as picnics and parties. The first all-school affair was Campus day, May 9. Davy Jones, who was chairman, arranged a full program of events, from a snappy assembly program to an afternoon of field sports. A dance in the evening was the crowning feature of the day. The other all-school gathering was the picnic on May 26 at Birch Bay. Leaving school at 4:00 o'clock on that day, a huge truck took the students to the bay, where dinner was served, and a dance held. Davy Jones was also chairman of this event. Other outings included the Thespian week-end party at Loganita lodge and Lummi island. The Board of Control banquet and the Klipsun staff picnic were also held at the lodge. The Viking staff held its annual banquet at the Leopold Hotel on the evening of May 24. This was the final social gathering of the quarter. o Club Holds Picnic Social Science Members Meet at Whatcom Falls Park Twenty-two members of the Social Science club attended the annual picnic, held this year at Whatcom Falls park, last Monday. Orvin Mes-segee had charge of the. picnic; Louis Shaffer had charge of the amusements and Catherine. Stephor of the supper. Mr. and Mrs. Pe-lagius Williams sponsored the picnic. After the supper election of officers was held with the following Lillegard, Helen Neely, Louise Wil results: President, Orvin Messegee; vice president, Victor Dickinson; secretary, Vene Fisher; Inter-club council member, Lila Wieder.

WASHTNGTON STATE NORMAL SCHVOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON l " ( gt; • • By Bob Lindsley Now that the nice weather has put in an appearance, the end of the quarter has come and the spring sports schedule has been completed. However, in spite of the "winter" weather we've been having: we have been lucky in that not one event was postponed because of rain, (or snow). The quarter proved to be rather unfruitful for the golf, track, and tennis teams, but the intramural mushball league has taken the place of regular varsity baseball very well and has proved very popular among the men of the school. The tennis team had the best luck in their schedule, winning two out of five matches. "They defeated C. P. S. twice and lost twice to University frosh and once to Ellens-burg. The track team failed to win a. meet this year but they made a very good showing in the tri-normal in winning second, place. They were defeated by C. P. S., University frosh, and again by C. P. S. in a relay carnival at Tacoma. This year for the first time the golf team played through an extensive schedule and although they lost four matches and won one, they lost because of the extremely hard schedule. They played the University varsity team twice and lost both times. They also lost one match to C. P. S. and one to Cheney. The second half of the softball schedule, which has been a mixed up affair all season, seems to be finally clearing up... The Kings who defeated the Glories in a game last Wednesday night, will play the Ten Pins tonight for the second half championship. If Denton's Kings should lose to the Ten Pins, there will be another game played next week for the season's championship between the Morning Glories and the Ten Pins. The West showed the East a few things last week in the National Intercollegiate track meet held at Pittsburg, when California and Stanford fought it out between themselves for the championship and left all the eastern schools in the dust. This California sunshine surely does wonders for the athletes, doesn't it. As I pointed out last week in this column, the sport scribes of the country were slightly amiss in their \ statments as to the ability of Babe Ruth to last out the present year. I wasn't a bit surprised when I read in the Herald that the Babe blew up last Sunday and smacked out three lusty circuit -blows, to let the sporting world know that he hasn't forgotten the combination. As I said last week I knew he'd come through, and he did. And now folks, as I end this column for the final time this quarter, I want to tell you that it has been a pleasure to write this for your entertainment (or censorship). I'll leave you now and hope that well meet again next fall.

VIKING TENNIS MEN LOSE JO_JAYVEES Mount Vernon Net Team Defeats Normal by 4 to 2 Score Mount Vernon junior college tennis team won their second victory over Viking net men last Monday afternoon when they took four matches out of the four singles and two doubles that were played. They won their previous contest by the same match score; Dick Stearns saved the day for the Bellingham team by winning his singles match .and teamed with Finley to win a double match. In the singles Stearns was extended to his limit to win from Trulson of the college. In the doubles victory they won the third set after the score in sets was tied at one all. The same Viking double team won at Mount Vernon Saturday, while Finley was the lone victor in singles. Summary of Monday's matches: Finley (J. C.) defeated Sather (B) 6-1, 1-6, 6-3; Briton (J. C.) defeated Finley (B), 4-6, 6-4, 8-6; Stearns (B) defeated Trulson (J. C), 6-4, 5-10, 7-5; Gilmore (J. C.) defeated Sherwood (B), 7-5, 6-3. Finley and Stearns (B) defeated Trulson and Briton (J.

C.) defeated Sherwood and Slather (B) 6-4, 9-7. o KINGS WIN CHANGE TO MEET TEN PINS The Kings won their chance to meet the Ten Pins for the second half championship by defeating the Morning Glories, first half champs, 3 to 2. This gives the Kings two victories to one defeat in games with the Glories. Although neither team played very fast baseball Wednesday the low score indicates that many boners were pulled by both teams when they had men on bases. The Glories started out fast and scored both their runs during their first ups. The winners came back to score one run. The score remained this way until the fourth inning when two fielding errors let two runs across the platter for the Kings. Hammett's Glories tried hard to score two needed runs in the seventh but fell short of their goal. o KINGS AND TEN PINS ARE TIED FOR FIRST MEN'S SINGLES TITLE TAKEN BY HOUGHTON Kratz Defeated in Three Out of Five Hard-Fought Sets The Kings and Ten Pins are tied for the. second half intramural title and will have to play-off to decide who will meet the Morning Glories for the school championship.

In the meantime the five-piece orchestra, with Buddy Grainger, were tuning up and some thoughtful person suggested a Virginia reel. Now if you've ever danced one you'll know how much fun it was. This strenuous exercise caused many couples to leave the hall for a little fresh air or something. This discouraged the members of the orchest r a so that at about ten o'clock they packed up their instruments and departed. About then the couples were coming back and wanted to dance but being too late they consoled themselves with more cards and pool.

Wins First Two Sets In Sunday's match he won the first two sets, 6-4, 6-1, but lost the next two, 5-7, 2-6. He came back to win the title in the fifth and deciding set, 6-3. Bill Fisher and James Rork are other Vikings that played in the matches. Yesterday afternoon Bill and his brother, Charles, finished playing their postponed match with Rork and Houghton for the men's doubles championship. The Fisher brothers were ahead two sets to one when rain caused the match to be halted last Sunday. Bill and Charles lost the fourth set 1-6, but won the fifth and championship set 6-4. DENTON'S KINGS WIN INTRAMURAL CONTEST Morning Glories Lose Important Game by Close Score Sport Xchanges By RALPH SHENENBERGER Because "intramural" had too many units to fit easily into a headline, the sport writers of the Puget Sound Trail offered a theater pass to the person suggesting the best synonym for it. Leave it to them to pick a girl as the prize winner. The word she handed in was "mural," which does not sound so bad even to the Viking writers. * * * Five men tied for first place in the pole vaulting event in the recent 17. S. inter-collegiate track meet. The five jumpers were not able to clear the bar above 13 feet 6 inches, so the points had to be divided. Those that were among the five that are world famous include: Bill Graber of U. S. C, who holds the world record at 14 feet 4% inches; Bill Miller of Stanford, who won the Olympic game title at over 14 feet, and Keith Brown, a Yale sophomore, who has cleared 14 feet indoors. The other two of the five were Jefferson of U. C. L. A. and Beacon of Stanford. * * * / / scores make a baseball game* interesting, the battle between Ahe Idaho State Normal and State College must have been extremely so. The score was tied at 1 3 all at the seventh, while the ninth inning found the Vandals ahead, 24 to 14. * * # The Washington Senators could have made good use of an extra o LIFE DIPLOMAS GIVEN The hard hitting Morning Glories won the first half intramural soft-ball championship, when they swamped the title challenging Kings, 18 to 6 in a play-off game last Tuesday. The first inning began in a rally for both teams. The Kings, who were first at bat, garnered three runs on hits by Jackson, Williams, and Denton. The Morning Glories, undaunted by the King's vicious attack came back in their half of the inning and scored six runs. Glories Score High The Kings were held scoreless for the next five innings by the masterful chucking of Chet Partis and fair support by his team mates. The Morning Glories made scores in every inning except the third, and ran their total number of hits to the sensational figure of twenty-five. Harold Jones was the only player who was able to slam out a home run. Jones' four-base hit was a long hard drive over the King's center fielder and was one of the longest home runs made in the intramural circuit this spring.

REPORTERS Glen Willock, Rhoda LeCocq, Jean McMillan, Dick Albert, Louise Schulz, Beth Hankins Why Grades? Why have grades in college? They are meaningless and cause much hard feeling and create a spirit of competition that is not desirable. Why should we be graded in comparison to someone else; why not get what we deserve by our own merits? Students should go to college to get an education riot to get better grades than someone else. Most of them have lost the idea of studying to learn all they possibly can and just exert themselves enough to try and beat the other fellow. One of the greatest causes of this wrong attitude is the present system of grading. In this comparative system the student who receives an A does not necessarily do excellent work but he is just that much better than the poorest one. Then this idea of there being only a certain number of A's and B's and so on is wrong too. If a student does good work he is entitled to a grade for it no matter how many others there are that do just as good work. It is time, therefore, for the authorities to recognize the fact that this system of grading could be greatly improved upon, because it is not desirable as it fails to bring forth the student's best. efforts. J. M o Working Students Penalized Teachers continue to pile on assignments which have to be done in some part of the library building. Rushing is now the order of the day as the end of the spring quarter is so near. To most of us who have plenty of free hours this means a great deal of time to spend, but not all of us have this time free when the library is open. y Unfortunately there is a great problem facing those of our num-br who work after school in order to get enough money to attend. The question for them is not, "Are we willing to work?' but "When are we going to do it all?" In the preceding quarters it has been comparatively easy, for the library was open at eight in the morning and from twelve to one at noon as well. Thus by an hour's earlier rising and a hastily eaten lunch anyone who was sincere in his wish to study could gain two hours of concentrated work. Today everything is changed, because the library opens at , 8 : 3 0 in the morning and closes during the noon hour. It is also closed all day Saturday. For these reasons it is very hard for the working students to find time for library work. Are these people to be really blamed if their grades go down and subsequently lower the average of the whole.school? We ask those in authority if there is nothing that can be done "to change this situation— gt; at least for the remaining week of the quarter—so that we can all get in a little extra time and try to raise our grades. jw •—••—•• "« "—-"-"• •"• On this second day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-three, we, the post-mentioned, declare ourselves of sound, mind, and do hereby make our last will and testament: I, Bert Gallanger, do will and bequeath the "light" I saw to Gus Lensrud. I, Nelson Brewer, do leave my most exquisite set of Tarzan books and Chuck Atlas exercisers to Lew Lovegren. I, Einar Larson, will my "New Russian Primer" to Bill Pierron. We, Vernie Leatha and Davy Jones, do leave our tremendous popularity with women folk and our political ring to any two freshmen that can make use of. them. We, Marion Todd and Jimmy Butler, bequeath a very popular corner underneath the dormitory steps to Jane O'Niel and Don Cole. I, Mildred Olsen, will leave Pete Peterson to any incoming woman that wants him. I, Red Van Over, will my broad (?) and winning smile to Ernest McDonnell. I, Clark Hubler, will the key to the bird cage on the second floor to Harry Goheen so he may become acquainted with a new bunch of owls that are going to be placed in there. I, Jimmy Stoddard, leave my silver tongue to some lucky frosh. We, Chuck Thomas and Brinky Brinkman, leave our combined track ability and several dozen footprints on the track to George Albee. I, Ken Elder, leave my heart rend-ind ability to Jimmy Campbell. We now do set our hands and seals to this last will and testament. o STUDENT HAS BAD DAY The Kallet-Schlink book about the innumerable guinea pigs leads one to stop and think. Great animal the guinea pig—a mere rodent, oppressed by scientists for years—and now it has "hogged" the limelight. Most of the filings Mr. Public eats with gusto are frowned upon by the consumers' league—one may be sure that his favorite menu reeks with bacteria and insidious toxins. A German officer killed himself by eating' a tube of well-known tooth paste. There are things worse than pink toothbrush. The wide distribution of this book gives club women something to talk about.

Recognized the yellow orb only because had read somewhere of its presence. As soon as the first shock subsided, hied myself to the breakfast table, where a plate of porridge greeted my angry eye. Scurried to catch street car, which I did only by the skin of my teeth. So tired was I from this endeavor, that I did not recover until time to alight, and climb the terrace. Took so long at this arduous task, that upon reaching the top, found it to be after the appointed hour for class. With a sigh of mingled joy and pain, strolled to tennis courts, where I marveled at the physique of a young male who wore no shirt of any kind. Later, took a terrific beating at the hands of a willowy wrench, %with a susprisingly strong right arm.

Fixed upon the teacher a gaze which indicated that he was surely an act of God, and proceeded to think of other things. But alas! He saw through my guise, and called upon me, whereupon I floundered about at his mercy. Finally, he glowered at me and admonished me to pay heed to his words of wisdom, which I resolved to do.

I Orchestra for Rec Hour to Be Chosen At Tryout Tonight Hello fellow sufferers! How does the steam pressure weather affect you? They tell us it's been 85 and 87. above! Just what it's above, however, we can't exactly decide-maybe i f S the boiling point! ' W.S.N.S. t-^.- We read about a fellow who hiked . tdown a mountain on his hands just .because somebody bet him he /couldn't. Not long ago we hiked •,•/.' down Church mountain on our feet and were swollen, blistered, burned and in a questionable temper for a week following. Never mind, Ethel-bert, let the nice man walk on his hands; we'll wait for a street car— believe it or not! ^K—W.S.N.S.-— Speaking of ironical things in this big W rld- of irony! The people who go on a picnic and. battle with a voell organized army of insects with one hand while they eat wilted pickles and half-cooked weiners with the'other take the proverbial cake. And then upon returning with^Miery.red backs and shoulders idmch [beat as rhythmic and painful a tattoo into their weakened constitutions as a South African tom-tom; they whisper weaklyi "WiKdd"ci lovely time!" Then they have the nerve to expect little Johnny to believe that they are the very hearts and souls of truthfulness! Ah, me! —W.S.N.S. We hear that Schwarzkopf is a star: *«ethm« or other in the be^ hUed Lindbergh case. If a name Bke; that came up before as we'd dftBtfa*' ft without questioning! —W.S.N.S.— We had. a rather painful demonstration last Saturday while registering, of what the Democratic convention will be like next week. (Either that or another Chinese- Japanese war). The big gym was a seething i d l i n g mass of fighting blondes and brunettes with a couple of weak males strewn hither and yon to complete the picture. There they were,.as big as life and twice as ^ MturaiT fighting over chairs, pens and supervisors. Instead of ha\iiig a bunch of hew buildings nex£year, ieVs spend the money to hire 8to) gt;uiahces to drag away the deadf and wounded! It's a great stniggie^-this education! -^-W.SJJ.S.—— Aufi- please, Mr. Ford — ya wouldn't stand around and. see a fella starve to death, wouldja? Just let me charge a coupla bars and a bag of peanuts! —W.S.N.S.-— Doesnt it sort of make you laugh the way the public gets all wrought up over anything that comes up; be it a murder, a kidnaping or another flight over the ocean? Lindy flew across tlie Atlantic. The papers screamed it for weeks, months, years; in fact, as the most daring feat: ever tried. Granted—it was. Thus several-different.men cross the «»me^p^i^and are headlined for a wejk^gr; w$rth of issues. Then a wpmjp^c^osses the. Atlantic and ag^;-|he^world goes wild; not because she crosses the Atlantic, as far ^ ^.cto'( !figure out, but simply because sn^s' a woman! And now Tryouts for rec hour will be held tonight in the big gym with two orchestras competing for the chance of playing at the weekly dances throughout the entire summer. The orchestras trying out tonight will be Lyle Campbell's orchestra and Bob Walters' orchestra, which played for rec hours during the spring quarter. The orchestra will consist of five pieces, as the Board of Control set the wages at $2 per person and limits the total price to $10. The orchestra will be selected by a committee 'from the board. EXHIBIT OF PAPERS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS POSTED Junior Viking Outstanding Among Publications Collected by Staff CAST CHOSEN FOR "ALISON'S HOUSE". NEXT PRODUCTION Historical Drama by Susan Glaspell to Be Given July 27 and 28 INSPECTION INVITED Rec hours this summer will be held every Friday evening from 8 to 10 p. m. in the big gym. Guest tickets are obtainable from Miss Adele Jones, dean of women. Registration Lower Than Was Expected Approximately 800 students have enrolled in school this quarter, according to unofficial checks of the enrollment. This is somewhat smaller than was planned for but it is expected that the registration will be somewhat greater next week when teachers arrive whose schools do not close until today. Official registration figures will not be ready until next week, but from all indications the enrollment will not be unusually large. Lucky Graduates of ~ Bellingham Normal Placed in Positions Five graduates of the Normal School have been placed in teaching positions either directly or indirectly 1 by the Employment Bureau during the past few days. Walter Gerry is to be principal and is to teach grades 5 to 8 at Breidablik. Dorothy Price has the first four grades at Marblemount. The principalship of the Boulevard Park school, which is near Seattle, goes to Floyd Henrickson. Gertrude Hancamp is to teach the grades 5 to 8 at Paradise school of this county, and Evelyn Brooks has the grades 2 to 4 in the same school. All former teachers and those expecting to teach will be interested in an exhibit of grade and junior high school papers which is posted on the bulletin board of the Northwest Viking office. Work done on these papers is entirely by the pupils, excluding the printing of those papers finished in this way. Many are mimeographed in a very capable manner by those on their staff. These mimeographed papers have illustrations on the covers drawn by various art students and are also illustrated throughout the issues. The folders of two, | h e Junior Viking, of the Bellingham Normal training school, and the Mason Intermediate, of Tacoma, are colored in blue and gray. , Size and Topics The papers vary in size from four to more than thirty pages. Of the larger papers the majority are either monthly or in some cases yearly. The junior high papers confine themselves mainly to news with a few cuts. Poems and compositions plus news topics and jokes are the varied contents of the schools having intermediate and primary grades. The Herald, of Elbonita in the Bellingham district, is of special note among those on exhibit. This issue is put out as a souvenir of the school work for one year. It is more in the form of an annual, giving the class enrollments, administration officers and teachers and the school program. This paper is divided into two parts, the first part devoted to the primary section and the second to the Intermediate. Art work and compositions signed by the pupils with their respective ages are part of the.contents of this issue. Questionnaire Sent In connection with this exhibit the Northwest Viking sent out questionnaires to training schools over the country. Many interesting answers were received and much information gathered as to the methods used by these types of schools. In answer to the question as to DIRECTOR TAKES PART (Continued on Page Two) Margaret Gray, New Faculty Member, Dotty Rees Has Registration Troubles Is From Bellingham Normal School After choosing a cast of eleven in competitive tryouts Tuesday and Wednesday, June 14 and 15, Mr. V. H. Hoppe, of the speech department, announced the Drama Club play, "Alison's House," by Susan Glaspell, will be presented on July 27 and 28. Besides directing the play Mr. Hoppe will play the part of Father Stanhope with a supporting cast of Christine Albers as Ann Leslie, Mrs. Owen as Jennie, Roger Chapman as Richard Knowles, Vernon Leatha as Ted Stanhope, Ethel Page as Louise, Dorothy Fiala as Elsa, Gertrude Hancamp as Aunt Agatha, James Butler, as Mr, Hodges and Evelyn Swalling as Mrs. Hodges. The part of Eben Stanhope has not been assigned to anyone at this time. Historical Setting The drama, "Alison's. House," is based on the life of Emily Dickinson. It concerns a poet, eighteen years after her death, and the question as to whether her unpublished poems should be revealed to the world. The action of the drama takes place in 1899. The theme centers around the family of Alison Stanhope, a notable American poet who had died eighteen years before and whose home is about to be sold. The family gathers to divide the precious belongings which have been preserved by an older sister, Agatha. As. tlKLoidcentury is about to pass on, Agatha, whom the author symbolizes as the old life, passes on with it, leaving a secret which she has guarded carefully all the years since Alison's death. It throws a" new light on the life of the poet and reveals her as a truly great souL Prize Play The play "Alison's House," recently produced by the Civic Repertory Theatre as a distinguished work, received the 1931 Pulitzer prize as the best play of the year. As well as being Susan Glaspell's latest writing it is listed by critics as the best of her dramatic works and is said to vividly portray the. modern trend in the drama. 'Hawaiian Trails" to Be Theme of Lecture In Assembly Tuesday Vaughan MacCaughey, well known author and lecturer, will deliver an illustrated lecture on Hawaiian trails and mountains in next Tuesday's assembly. Mr. MacCaughey was formerly superintendent of public instruction for the Hawaiian islands and professor of botany at the College of Hawaii. He has written much material on Hawaii among which is a " S u r v e y of Hawaiian Secondary Schools," "Survey of the Hawaiian Land-Flora," "Extension Work of College of Hawaii," "Physique of the Ancient Hawaiian," "Hawaiian Coral Reefs," "Racial Elements in Hawaii's Schools" and other papers. He is, at present, editor of the Sierra Educational News, which is the official journal of the California Teachers Association and State Council of Education. Another speaker will be heard in assembly, Friday, June 24, Dr. Ned H. Dearborn, professor of education and director of the Institute of Education at the New York University. The subject of Dr. Dearborn's lecture is not yet known. He is making a hurried trip west and is filling engagements on. his way out.

It's disgusting!,. All this registration business is mere muddle-mongering. Last Saturday I came to school all prepared to spend five or ten minutes at most registering for my one daily class, Upon entering the big gym, however, I immediately became hopelessly lost in the willy-nilly confusion of the place. I remember a whirling blur of faces-someone spilled ink on my left sleeve—I had a social chat with a gentleman in a cage—someone walked on my feet, spoiling my brand new 15-cent shine—a voice told me I was all through-then there is a blank; nice, cool blackness; no noise, no one but myself-^omeone was rubbing my hands—I took a swallow of something strong—quickly I gulped down two more—opportunity knocks but once —what is this, the Democratic convention?

Wouldn't prexy make a superb keynoter? rf' S*-v NO MATTER where you come from, what your position, or who you are, we Welcome you to Bellingham, Normal for the summer quarter. YOU ARE no longer school teachers, high school students, or recluses. You are college students, again or for the first time, and as such we're all going to work and play together this summer. THE PARAMOUNT purpose of this school is to train school teachers, but more than that, the purpose is to build men and women. It is a school with a definite but comprehensive objective. ThaJ objective is'to develop intelligent, well rounded persons into capable and successful educators. MAY YOUR OWN purpose in this school be as broad as the purpose of the school itself.

The Northwest Viking, Associated-Students and Administration each expends,.greetings in the spirit of co-operation. Munching peanuts is an ancient pastime. It is said that 'way back before Alexander the Great, a prophet of a new order in India consumed a pound and a half a day until the day of his death-three days later. Nevertheless the delicious sticky-salt odor of the— what are they besides peanuts, anyway? Not nuts, for nuts grow on trees. Whoever heard of a peanut tree? The students here at summer school are no noddies. The very fact that they fill the reserve room every afternoon proves that point. Competition will be keener, good grades will be much more elusive, and effort will be much more necessary. But as a certain result, the knowledge acquired will make the effort worth-while. To get back to my peanut thesis. Their odor has that refinement, gravity and sweet-' ness that means prestige. They find their way to the tummies of kings, paupers and business men (note the descending scale). They are an integral part of our culture. Ages hence it will be peanuts, yes peanuts, that will distinguish modern times from any other ages. Yes, we of today, because of our peanut-eating propensities, stand out unique in history. There has been the Iron Age, the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Renaissance, but each of these dwindles into mere insignificance when compared to the gloriously regal Age of Universal Peanut Consumption! On Sunday afternoon when the sun is not too warm and the wind is not too' cold, Ihspiratibn Point beckons to us with its splendid vista of grandeur intermixed with homely simplicity, the highway rounds a sharp turn and a stone-work platform juts out, it seems, almost overhanging the water of the bay. The imposing dignity of the low islands across the bay is tempered by the wisps of smoke winding up from tiny cabins on the beach. It is truly a sight to make one gasp and say, "God is good". The water, bluer than the sky, is covered with innumerable whitecaps, forever dancing to the beach, lying far below out of sight through the trees. The sheer cliff to the rear, moss-covered and rugged, towers almost to the noonday sun. Shy and wistful trilliums, flowers as typical of Washington as the rhododendron, are found in every available cranny. Down to the very edge of the road they grow, natural beauty infringing on the works of man. And truly, Chuckanut is a superb achievement; a thing of beauty, yet strong and enduring as the rocks which hold it. The highway winds along the very face of the cliff, wanders smoothly through the trees, a changeable mosaic of sun and shade. Here, along the face of the cliff it clings, about to tumble into the water below. Only half the sky is visible from the point. The other half is obscured by the wall of rock. But half of the sky from Inspiration Point is indeed worth twenty skys from any other place in the entire world. It is an ideal spot for matrimonial minded swains to bring their lady loves. For there is a legend of the point which says that there is at least one accepted proposal each week of the spring months made in the lofty hook. Nationally Known Papers Will Be Filed for Study :NORMAlJtte-"v'::::' 'f* gt; '(Continued from PageOne) Newspapers, representative of the best in all parts of the United States, are to be found on the new rack in the Viking office. Outstanding among these is the New York Times, which is considered the leading commercial newspaper of our country. The Emporia Gazette will be of. special interest to many, because it is edited by the well known author, Mr. William Allen White. Others to be found are: The .St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Denver Post, the University of Washington Daily and the Washington Post, published in Washington, D. C. Each reader should be able to find a paper from the section peculiarly interesting to him. Boston Transcript Interesting In the files are other papers worth examining. The Boston Transcript, the New Orleans Times-Picayune and the Springfield Republican are from widely separated sections of the country. A comparison should be interesting for each gives the point of view of its locality. The London Times is very different in makeup from the average American newspaper.

FISH'S MANY NAMES The sunfish is known in various localities as the pondfish, tobacco box, pumpkin seed and kivies. Ten-minute talks, music, fried chicken, strawberries and ice cream and dancing to Larry Hawkins' orchestra were items enjoyed at the Viking staff banquet in the Green room of the. Bellingham hotel, June 3. President Fisher spoke to the forty who were present on "Inspirations." A guest speaker, Mr. Sam Harrison, editor of the Bellingham Evening News, chose as his topic, "Newspaper Work as a Future." Mrs. Frank Burnet, journalism instructor, presented pins to June Welch, Virginia George, Deborah Altose, Helen Nor-then and Bill Sells. A toast to Mrs. Burnet was then given by Virginia George. James Stoddard, a student staff writer, presented "Gags." "The title is hardly appropriate for my talk." says James. "It should be 'Gas.'" The editor, Roger C h a p m a n, placed the Viking bull in the hands of James Stoddard for safe keeping. The bull, which is hollow, contains many coins and upon his plaster paris frame has many names. President Fisher contributed his coin and also his name to the traditional bull. o— Miss Sperry Chairman Publicity Committee ( he v ashionable \2o-ed By Watson and Welch Advertisers Patronize our advertisers!

The Vikings then tackled the Navy squad from Port Townsend on October 10 and subdued the invaders, 6-0. Prom here on the hilltoppers started the down grade over the hill, losing to Pacific Lutheran by the decisive score of 27-7 at the church boys' school October 16. Seeking a little revenge the Carver coached' lads journeyed to Cheney where they received another severe beating, taking the small end of a 40-0 count. Homecoming Game Close The big game of the year came around on Saturday, October 31, the Homecoming game with the Ellens-burg Wildcats. The eastern squad was given a slight edge in the battle but were outplayed throughout. Half time tallied no markers but in the third frame the Wildcats scored, the game ending 7-0. Donovan, Abbott and Berg formed the trio of inspiration through the entire tussle. C. P. S. Victorious November 6 was another loser for the Vikings when a C. P. S. eleven invaded the Sehome field and shellacked th locals, 21-7. The final game of the season was with the St. Martin's lads on November 14. The Laceyites conquered the Blue and White forces with a casualty list of 26-0. A flock of practice tilts preceded the basketball season with the first regular game being held on January 9. The season record is written below: Visitors Vikings Pacific Lutheran .20 37 Ellensburg 52 12 Yakima J. C. ;... 28 27 Cheney 39 25 St. Martin's 31 35 C. P. S 42 33 Ellensburg 35 14 Yakima J.

Visitors Vikings NATIONAL OPINIONS ON ATHLETICS TOLD Athletic Organization Would Set New Sport Standards C. P. S. ; 4 St. Martin's 12 U. W. Frosh 7 C. P. S 11 Frosh / Miss Anne Hodgkins, field secretary of the women's division of the National Athletic Association Federation, spoke before today's assembly on the subject, "Athletics From a National Point of View." The organization which Miss Hodgkins represents, the headquarters of which are in New York City, was established in 1923 in Washington, D. C, by Mrs. Herbert Hoover and some 200 prominent educators who felt the need of an organization which would set up standards for girls' athletics and prevent them from being commercialized and professionalized. The women's division now has on its roster of members several hundred outstanding women, prominent in physical education work. Y. M. C. A., high schools, c o l l e g e s , universities, commercial firms, Girl Scouts and foreign groups are brought together in this National Federation. Mrs. Hoover is honorary national chairman. Mrs. Jane Deeter Bippen, formerly national director of Girl Scouts, is now the American chairman of the National Athletic Association Federation. Miss Weythman is Washington state chairman. __, 0 ~,. Miss Hodgkins has had a wide ex- L a s t em reapers ( j i ve perience in physical, educational and social service. For eight years she was director of recreation for T. Eaton Company, of Toronto, Canada, where 8,000 women are employed. In making her studies of existing conditions in every state Miss Hodgkins spoke before the Associated Students at Washington State College June 15. She goes to the University of Washington next week. o This map will be found a valuable reference. Cut it oat and save for future reference. Bellingham is truly the center of a beautiful territory. Within a radius of fifty miles may be found some of the most outstanding beauty spots in the country. The "Normal by the Sea," situated as it is on the steep slopes of Sehome, overlooking the crystalline waters of Bellingham bay, is a memory spot to be noted, and not to be forgotten. To the west, Mount Constitution rears itself, a cardboard, cut jagged, against the setting sun. Countless islands, large and small, break the dazzling waters of the sound. Busy ferries ply from here, and from An-acortes, to the islands, and to Victoria, a bit of old Quebec transplanted. To the south, Seattle, and a little closer, the SJtagit valley, in summer a symphony in greens. Closer, Chuckanut drive hangs on the very face of the cliff, a master feat in engineering and one of the most beautiful spots imaginable. Eastward, Mount Baker lifts her hoary head, and Shuksan, "nearly touching the very top of heaven." Countless beauty spots are to be found here. Lakes, rivers, mountains large and small, shady valleys, all combine to make the road from Deming to the lodge site perfection itself. But north to Vancouver! Pink elephants, orange-and-black rhinoc-erouses, purple apes, all combine to make this trip memorable in its unique scenery and pleasurable sensations. ** The Downstairs Store at SILK STOCKINGS 75c Service Weights and Lace-top Chiffon .1: St. Martin's 5 7 Track Squad Impressive A more impressive squad of thin-clads has seldom been seen at the hilltop school when the Viking aces showed their worth last spring quarter. In the first meet of the season the Sehome boys trounced the Whatcom Redskins and the Fair-haven Grizzlies to the tune of 93-21- 7. The first big meet matched the Vikings with the Ellensburg Wildcats on Waldo field. The Vikings won the meet handily when they scored 88% points to Ellensburg's 42%. When the U. of W. Frosh met the Vikings, Schlilaty bested the Frosh ace, Plumb, in both the 220 and the 100. Thomas also beat Plumb, in the 220. This meet was the closest match in years between the Mention to Kitchen . Krew and Daffodils Ladder Tournaments In Summer Program To Start Immediately Kitchen Krew and Bill Fisher's Daffodils are receiving a great deal of attention, even the papers of the East cheering the Kitchen Krew's victory over the Daffodils. The Teachers College News of Charleston gave them publicity and stated, "These Western names—my, oh my!" Frosh and the Vikings, the score being 72% to 58%. At the tri- Normal meet at Cheney two Bellingham lads broke the only two records of the day when Gable jumped to a new broad jump mark of 22 feet and Jim Davis ran the high sticks in 15.4. Bellingham took second in the meet under Cheney. Walt Schlilaty, Viking sprint ace from Everett, ran in the Northwest Olympic trials at Seattle and bested men from Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington to qualify for the finals to be held at Long Beach, Cal., prior to the games in August. The ladder tournaments, which consist of tennis golf, handball and horseshoes, will start immediately. Coach Carver says that he is experimenting with horseshoes and as yet nothing definite has. been decided. Intramural basketball will start Monday and will cover the first five weeks, to be followed by soft baseball for the next five weeks. Hikes will start Saturday and continue through the summer. The regular golf tournament matches will be held the last of the quarter on either Lakeway or the Ferndale course. Special rates are made for students. . .,.., ,,.. •—°r—r—— .. The weight of a racing greyhound varies from about 40 to 75 pounds, with 65 regarded as ideal for both speed and endurance. Cashoo, perhaps the greatest dog that ever raced in the U. S. A., weighed 65 in his prime, and was first purchased for $175 in 1927. In 1928 his owner, William Houghton, refused $3,000 for him. ^vv^.v^v^^.^vv.v^^v.v^^-vy^^Avv^A•^A•w"^v,^^v^^«, , .• Students H START THE QUARTER RIGHT-For You, the Merchants and the Viking J i Take advantage of Specials offered to NorMal Students J.V.-'- Buy from Bellingharn Merchants Tell the merchants you saw their ad in the ViHfit • • - . gt; « V.\V.V.".V.V.V.SV.V.^S%SV.SV.%V.V»VV.\".,.V.%, ,.V»'.V Mount Shuksan From Mirror Lake "When You Mmn" Phone 7 0 W« Wmtmn Canfal WbmtMmg CMHMM Service MODEL STORAGE The Northwestern National Bank leUmgkui.

Vacation Bound! "Glory, glory and salvation, This is the day for vacation, When we leave the Bellingham station For the land of civilization." —Anonymous. The limerick above can be heard being sung by many of the students as they joyfully look forward to the Thanksgiving vacation starting today at noon. Joy may be in their hearts, but study books can be found in many suitcases, for term examinations are scheduled in the near future. But to all of you, the Collegian staff wishes a very happy Thanksgiving vacation. 'Chest' Quota Topped Here "Over the top" is the $1,820.50 contributed to Bellingham's 1948 community chest fund by the college division.

[jjjj Stated Victor Hoppe, "The WWC ^presentation will capture the home- I like charm of the Hanson family of San Francisco. But the Hanson family is as it should be in t h e theatre, your family and mine. The play evokes warmly the familiar feel of home life and succeeds in achieving the feel of our American way of life. The management hopes you are planning to 'Remember Mama' next week. If you can Come and we can make you smile jknd feel glad that you came—we ' shall say with Mama 'Is good'." £ f. \.

Hicks served as head of the college division together with Miss Georgia P. Gragg. Dr. Hicks stated that not only was this group the first to reach its quota but WWC has never failed to attain its expected goal in former community chest drives. Six Bands Parade At Homecoming Six bands added color and pageantry to the general excitement of the Homecoming game with CPS. Parading the length of the field before kickoff, the bands of Bellingham, Ferndale, Anacortes, Nook-sack, CPS and WWC escorted Queen Sigrid XI and her court to t he stands. Then they grouped in the north stands to play the national anthem together. The WWC band performed first at half-time, saluting the Loggers with an L and playing the CPS "fight song." Following this they executed several formations to play "Honeyboys on Parade" for Doris Pickett's military dance on the bass drum. Collection Started For French Girl "It's time for AWS to be sending a Christmas package to Germaine, our foster child in France," declared Evelyn Bingham, chairman of the Foster Child committee. "Since she belong in a sense to all of us, we'd like each member'to help. If you have any pins, barettes, ribbons, toys or anything else you feel a little girl of 10 would like, please have it ready to give to the girl who is collecting in your house." Collections for Germaine's Christmas gifts will be made during the week of November 29 to December 3. Conference on Credits Held At U. of W. Another conference to discuss the transferring of credits was held at the University of ' Washington, Friday, November 19. Three educational colleges: Western Washington, Central Washington, Eastern Washington, Washington State, and* University of Washington participated. A chosen committee including Donald A. Ferris, Stewart A. Johnston, Edward J. Arntzen, M. S. Kuder, and Irwin A. Hammer have been handling a number of different courses leading to professional careers. Some of. these are: pre-medical, pre-dent-istry, nursing, engineering, pharmacy, agriculture and journalism. ™Mr. Ferris wishes to inform students that a new course in composition, English 102, will be introduced spring quarter. He then went on to say that students contemplating a transfer would do well to take English 100, 101, 102. The committee working together hope to iron out difficulties of transfer students concerning credits, thus suggesting a new spirit of cooperation among colleges. Vik Band Will Play WWC's band will play for the Thanksgiving Day game with UBC, according to its director, Don Walter. A special Thanksgiving Fantasy, featuring traditional melodies and hymns, is planned to replace the usual half-time marching drills. Members will be in uniform, however. Thursday's appearance will mark the close of the marching season for the Viking band. Because many members have been excused to go home for the holiday, the band will be at half-strength. Prof. Brier to Address College Journalists Music-Auditorium Bids Due Soon Bids will be called for on December 4 for a unit of the Auditorium- Music building. Dr. W. W. Haggard announced that the bids w i l l be opened December 21. The construction of the A r ts building is expected to be finished by the fall 1949 quarter. The architect for both buildings is Bebb and Jones of Seattle. S. S. Miller of Seattle is the head contractor on the Arts building. Mechanical contracting is being handled by A. J. Blyth Plumbing Heating Co. and the electrical contracting by Howard E. Mills, both of Bellingham. Board Acts to Stop Ticket Transferrals At the Wednesday Board of Control meeting, president Gus Pagels read a letter from the Athletics committee. It stated that one person had been denied entrance to the Homecoming football game because the students activity card used, belonged to someone else. Board members recommended, that any students caught passing activity cards, from now on will lose them. All WWC students are asked to cooperate in this issue. -4» Professor Howard Brier, director of the Pacific Slope School Press association will be the speaker ap- Datelimi e Wednesday noon, Nov. 24 to Monday morning, Nov. 29—Thanksgiving vacation.

Main events scheduled for Saturday will be a summary of suggestions of the conference and the presentation of "I Remember Mama." Do You Want A Student Union Building? WWC Students Voice Opinions on Controversial Question "Do you want a new student union building?" This was the question posed by the Collegian to some of WWC students in order to get a sample of student opinion on the subject. Since the new building program has begun there has been a lot of talk on the matter of building a Student Union building to house the various student functions. The majority of the students interviewed seemed to feel that it would be a good idea to have a new Student Union building but they didn't know how we would pay for it and some weren't quite sure where we would put up such an edifice. Thought on the subject was divided into several schools of opinion; Don Olson who said "Yes if it does not affect the building program. But how are the students going to raise the money. We might put a levy (tax) on all incoming and transfer students from now on." Bonnie Lundgren exclaimed, "I think it would be just dandy, providing we can raise enough money for it. But if we had the money where would we put it, oh dear." Marie Javonivich agreed with Bonnie, "I think it would be fine; we need a new one. It would be really a good place to spend a little spare time." David Grayson was quite positive in his opinion, "Absolutely and positively yes; the one we have is inadequate. We could do well with another one." Duane Lewis wants a hew student union building ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1948 November 24 - Page 2 ---------- Americans Give Thanks Every generation, since the time when Americans first began to realize what a miracle they had created in the New World, has had faith in the great American Dream. Each generation has had its poets and sages who have recorded for -posterity, their version of what that dream consisted. In November, 1948, Americans in all parts of our land are considering what their dream of the future is made of and what it means to them. As our millions of citizens prepare to take thanksgiving for the blessings which have been freely bestowed upon all Americans, there is a new faith and a new hope for the future. Probably the one prayer' most whispered by the peoples of America and of the entire world, is the prayer for lasting peace. The selfish attitude of "Peace in our time!" has been replaced by a hope for "Peace for all time." At this Thanksgiving, our people will give thanks for many blessings. We are thankful for our freedom to worship as we see fit. We are thankful for our rights as free men to say what we think. We are thankful to be Americans. At this Thanksgiving, we are thankful for our democracy and are hopeful for the day when its full benefits will be bestowed upon certain of our citizens who make up minority groups in our land. We are thankful in 1948, that peace—a very troubled and unsure peace to be sure—has been secured for millions of the world's people. We are hopeful that another year may bring a healthier world and a new meaning of life. The American Dream for 1948 contains the hopes of not only Americans but of the peoples of the earth. "Let our unceasing, earnest prayer Be too, for light,—for strength to bear Our portion bf the weight of care, That crushes into dumb despair One half the human race." —Longfellow. The editors of the WWCollegian know that its columns should obtain names of students. Every possible effort is being made to include more names because the Collegian recognizes the fact that students like to see their names in print. However, the criticism has been leveled by some students that the paper, which is owned by the student-body, is favoring faculty news above news of student interest. Granted that the Homecoming issue necessarily had many stories of interest to alums but that was an exception. Last week the Collegian ran 39 stories of interest to its student owners and only two stories which affected faculty members primarily. There were 108 student names and 14 pictures of students. The staff will continue to use more names of students in the future. As for humor. Editor Pagels and staff seem to be doing a good job on that end. What do you think? 6 bOWMG Faculty Sketch Sees Maurice Freehill Lured To Western By LOWELL LIKKEL One of the new friendly faces on the faculty list is that of Dr. Maurice Freehill who has recently joined the Education department. A product of the traditional one-room school, his academic pursuits have brought him to many halls of learning including Stanford where he received his Master of Arts degree in Education. Dr. Preenni began his formal education in Alberta where, brrrrr, it's mighty cold. At the age of thirteen he began earning his way through school. Despite this handicap, his popularity and ambition won him the student body presidency at the University of Alberta. Along with his duties as student body president he was active in drama and sports. Upon graduation from the Universities of Alberta and Ottawa he spent eight years teaching in Canadian high schools, where he held such positions as principal and coach. His versatile ability on two different occasions won him the Western Canada award for best acting and directing. Sunny California lured him away from the wheat country to Stanford where he received his Doctorate of Education last August. "In contract to the rolling plains of Canada I enjoy Washington's green hills," said Dr. Freehill, "and the friendly people." Our faculty choice for the week certainly has acquired many interests while searching the realms of learning. But relax, ladies, he has not yet acquired a wife. Who knows .. . people in Washington are friendly. —o June 6, 1928, the name of the paper was changed from "The Weekly Messenger" to "The Northwest Viking." Later it was changed to the present name of "The Collegian." Even those with the finest ton-sorial intricacies cannot withstand weekly pressure. Thus, I have decided to find out just what other students in school are Crowing about. I should have worn ear-muffs . .. Chuck Hurlbut: What's wrong with the paper? What's good about it? Same stale news, same personalities, neglect a lotta student news! Sport coverages aren't complete. ". Montag Fortze: "All right, got no gripe." Dave Qnam: If it's supposed to be a student paper why isn't there more student news? Too much faculty stuff—not enough humor. Bryce Tilton: Needs more humor. Seems kinda prejudiced, too. Fred DeBruler: If you can't put together a newspaper by student effort and have it accepted as such, there is no use haying a school paper. ,,• Frank Gayda: Same dry coverage. ^Nojlife to it. Very little student hit-merest.;.-/•-' Bob Mills: No student gossip. Too formal for thestudents. Advising . with Pagels seems backward. D. H. Sallee: "Keep running those pictures of pretty women." Barbara Butler: I get tired of reading advertising in place of student news. How about letting the ads take the place of the present routine news, and give the students back their house news! Jack Loony: Nothing to it. What-tsa matter, controlled press? Jack Krause: Let's see some different people in the paper with more humor and student interest. Ernest Sams: "Except for the fact that some critical comments are not considered carefully, the paper is quite an improvement over l a st year's." Earmuffs! I should have lost my ears. These were the opinions of but twelve students picked at random. I'm not gonna pick there anymore; somedays ya just can't make a nickle. Least I could have done was ask people smaller than i, but no! I thought I could bluff my way through with ^ the prestige of my Press card.

Tiny Thornton Now Exposed By LEX MILTON Mr., Mrs., and Miss Western, I would like you to meet Mr. H. Marion Thornton (at least that is how he's listed on the 1938 football trophy.) But around here he's called "Tiny," because of his obvious bulk. He's not a bit sensitive about his name, or.his size; for as he says, "You've got to face the facts." We're forced to admit he's a lot of man. Tiny attended this institution for the first time in 1938, and played on that winning team. His schooling was interrupted by the war when he went into the Navy. He came back in 1946 to continue his pre-medic's course and hopes to finish soon in order to attend medical school. As one who has attended other higher institutions (while in the service, and as a freshman), Tiny says that Westerns faculty as a whole is more cooperative than many others. Right now/ one of Tiny's big interests is the Camera club, so let's give it a plug. As president, he is very interested in showing the school just what their club can do.

So far this fall the Birds have failed to win a single game, their record includes only one tie, 13-13 with Whitman. The Blue and White, on the other hand now boast of a .500 average, 4 wins and 4 losses. One of the Norse victories was at the expense of UBC, 40-0 at Vancouver in early season. However, since the CanUck squad has improved immensely, and they promise that they will give the hill-toppers a real battle. The man to watch in the Thun-derbird lineup is Doug Reid, all conference back, who did not appear in the last UBC game. There is talk at the Canadian school of permanently retiring the little speedster's number 38 jersey. Other than Reid, the Birds boast an aerial attack that is better than average, with Bob Murphy, their T formation quarterback, doing most of the throwing. Game time is noon Thanksgiving day at Battersby field. It's the football game of the season, so get out and support the home team. Western Scores WinM In Conference Game* Beating the St. Martin Bangers 12-0 the Western Washington Vikings ended their Evergreen conference schedule last Saturday at Olympia. The Vikings scored twice in the game and stopped every Banger threat, -c Th first Viking touchdown came in the second quarter after a sustained Viking drive.

Therefore as the football sweepstakes goes into the seventh and final week the jackpot has grown to $14.00, for the Thanksgiving game with the UBC at Battesrby field Thursday afternoon. The rules remain the same as before except that the closing time is Wednesday afternoon instead of Friday evening. Remember, only one entry per person. November 24, 1948 Name..... Address. WESTERN'S VIKINGS B. C. THUNDERBIRDS Second Annual Intramural Swim Meet December 3 The Western Washington spectacle of splash, the Intramural swimming meet is drawing ever closer, and from the entry list it appears that almost all the organized houses will have some representation for the December 3 aqua-fest. Last year the meet was run off with a minimum of preparation and even though there was little work done before hand, it was run off smoothly and efficiently. This year, the ground work has been well laid, and unless something goes astray at the last minute, the event will top all previous attempts in both number of entrants and performances. For some time now, the school has been pondering the question of a minor sports schedule, and the success or failure of the Intramural swimming meet will have a large bearing on the final decision on minor sports. So far some top flight aquatic starts have registered with Sam Carver for the big splash of the year, but there is still time to get into the swim.

These bouts may be played at any time, but should be completed by the end of the fall quarter. The tournament will not be judged by elimination.

The Forest Inn and Off- Campus teams are tied for first place, however, there are two games yet to be played. ofski over the Ranger goal line from the one yard line. Walt Clayton's kick was wide. In the fourth quarter the Vikings intercepted a Ranger pass on the Ranger 17 yard line. On the- next play Karnofski went over the Ranger goal for the second time. The Viks incurred a penalty on the play and the touchdown was no good. The second touchdown was made on a hand off from Karnofski to Lee Stout who in turn passed MP Dave Smith for the touchdown. The; conversion attempt was no good. , Three times during the game the Rangers marched within the Viking thirty yard line. These threats bogged. down when the Ranger backs fumbled.

Secretary ofveterans' affairs, Mrs. Ann Garcia, thinks that the high number of veterans enrolled is due to the fact thatmany of the men who entered just under the deadline in 1945 are now being discharged from theservice.. There are also several returning students who left school in 1946 and 1947 and are resumingtheir studies. A number of men and women discharged soon after the war are making use of theireligibility after considering that the final date for en-, rollment under the bill is July 25, 1951. -eiwafde lt; Diplomas in December Graduates to Teach, Travel December graduation at WesternWashington College of Education has supplied the state with 21 potential elementary teachers.

Some art classes still remain in the main building. Theindustrial art machinery has not yet been moved. Two wings of the new building are still vacant, onebeing for the Campus school industrial arts and the other for the print shop. Completion of this.shouldtake place: this summer. The old Art department will shorty ly become an extension of the ; Sciencedepartment. At the present, Science 304 will be the only class using the room. The old industrial artsbuilding will be demolished, according to present plan. Dateline . . . Friday, January i3-^USCC^Ir*sMe, 7:30p. m.

This being an entirely student-operated project, conducted forthe benefit of students, it is worthy of whole-hearted support, and the Collegian heartily commends theStudent Facilities committee for efforts in bringing low-cost entertainment to this Western world. Asuggestion might be to save the difference in cost and donate it to the WSSF. Snow-balling GoesBookish It appears that the best way for the college students to remain safe and secure from thesnowballing of the Campus school crowd is to carry a- load of books in their arms. A directive issued bythe Campus School Steering Committee Conference on Snow Balling tells the fourth graders not tobombard college students "because we might â€¢damage the books they have." At last we have* found ause for those books. World Student Service Fund The World Student Service Fund campaign is nowbeginning at Western. We have a responsibility to our fellow students abroad that cannot be dodged.Let's not miss a single opportunity to contribute to this cause which is so vital to the welfare of the world,including ourselves. CI1 King Winter Reigns On U.S. Campuses Snow, snow and more snow seemsto be unanimous all over the country, University of Wyoming welcomed winter, in his icy crown, withits Annual Outing Club Winter carni val. Included in the festivities were a snowball dance, ski races, anda showing of the 1948 Olympic movies. WWC welcomed King Winter, too, or rather we should say theOld Man greeted us back from vacation . . . with icy roads, snow, and cold. â€¢ Some instructorsare possessed by the fields in which they teach, others are absessed by them. â€¢ Stevens pass is the place where University of Washington ski enthusiasts will take part in the Husky Winter Sportscarnival, January 18 and 19. Skiing, however important it may be, has a competitor this year at thecarnival. For beauty is to be present as a queen of the carnival will be chosen from candidates selected by organized women's houses on campus. â€¢ Today's long skirts are tough on fellows who can'tremember faces. â€¢ Man is the only animal you can skin more than once. â€¢ A column on "WeeklyHints" in the Eastern Central Journal (Oklahoma) gave a few pointers which might be of interest tosome of the students in this institution. Although WWC is on the quarter system and had its finalsbefore Christmas, many schools run on the semester basis and are springing their brain childs now.A hint to the lost is: "Finalsâ€” mean, in some cases, all of the grade Begin studying and acquiring allinformation before the night preceding a test." Good food for thought. * Miser: One who's perfectlycontent to let the rest of the world go buy. By ROD CARDWELL \A An old Texan with whom we once dined was greatly in favor of Jhe^ American college education.

P.L.C. took the biggestlead in the zig-zag contest that was tied up at ten different places during the game. Early in the firstquarter the Lutes took an 8-point lead at the 22-14 point. It took Western nearly the rest of the first halfto overcome the deficit. As the first half ended the Viks took an indecisive 2-point lead with a 34-32score.

Those elected to preside over the club this quarter are: vice president, MarianBuerstatte; recording secretary gt; Clarice Smith; treasurer, Robin Geske; and usher chairman, PatsyAddington. Nominations were taken for new members. Harborview Hall Holds Election Harborviewhall began the new year with an election of house officers at a meeting held January 3 in the livingroom of the housemother, Mrs. Jean Hawn. ~ . ' Pauline Roser, a Harborview senior will take theposition of president. Assisting will be Eileen Dallas as vice-prexy and social chairman; MarieRamquist who will handle the secretary-treasurer work; and Sue Simpson will complete the list as house reporter. Plans for a pot-luck social and Valentine's party were discussed. At the conclusion of themeeting, the Harborview girls had a surprise birthday party in honor of Helen Miller and Eileen Dallas who both had birthdays by the coming of the hew year. In addition to having five new girls, Janis Peoples, JoAnn Wold, Donna Miller, Dorothy Dow, and Sue Simpson, there has been plenty of activity in the house. Dee Overr dorff and Patsy Addington spend their spare time, if any, knitting socks. They don't mentionwho the lucky recipients will be! Janis Peoples has been worried to the point of losing weight whilebeing chairman of the coming WRA Carnival and keeps "Kacky" Oslind busy as her faithful room-mateand cook. Many of the girls of the house took advantage of the winter wonderland by putting on theirwarmer clothes to have some snowball fights. Results: wet clothes, clean faces and thedisappearance of all the boys when a window was broken by the front door. Many students know thatthe girls of Harborview do their own cooking, and looking back at 1949 we find that the boys must beaware of this fact. Rosalyn Roberts, Merideth Hess, Connie Martin, Mildred Campbell, DollyMacArthur, Dorothy Dahl, and Shirley Capper were Har-bbrviewites who in the past year changed theirnames to become cooks for their new husbands.

Bare Facts On Old Story In New Guise By MARY JANE ZUANICH Once upon atime - in the neck of the woods there was a small cottage inhabited by three baresâ€” Gypsy, Rose,and Lee. These girls were fan dancers and their most ardent fan, Silver Keys, lived close by. Silver Keyswas a locksmith and had a key to all of the neighboring cottages. Every day the locksmith would take a 2-hour romp through the woods, from^his hut to the big oak treeâ€”15 minutes, oak to the meadowâ€”10 minutes, and from the meadow to the 3 bares, home 1 second! And to get past their house, 1 hourand 35 minutes. (The distance was short but temptation was great) and passing the place without trying his key marked a real struggle for poor Silver Keys. One day when Silver Keys; resistance wasespecially low he decided to make a visit to the girls. He reached the door and before turning the keyhis action was checked by that constant bother, his conscience. "You have no right to unlock their doorwithout permission!" his conscience said. "But.-. ." "No, it ain't right!" s n o w blast students hadcomplained that, following a 90-minute drive to Mount Baker, there was too litle snow to make thejaunt worthwhile. And now they were lamenting that, although it l ay before them, there was too muchsnow! This was Western Washington college while thermometers fell and the -Pacific Northwest felt oneof its most unusual winters. "But;. ..."-â€¢ VNQT "6. Kvi, o,K., I won't unlock it!" Spoo . . . Silver Keysclimbed in a window and found before him three stewed chicken (meaning fowl) all dished out oh" a settable and left untouched. Being very fond of chicken, Silver Keys decided* to sample the food. He stuckhis fork into the first fowl which dissolved up the idea and went up to bed. A few hours later Silver Keyswas awakened by the tune of the "Striptease Polka" and knew that his idols were home and would find him in their house! He heard them. They were doing the can-can up the stairs. He thought to himself,"I'm trapped!" They were closer now! Silver Keys jumped up, "I'm trapped, trapped!" he repeated.They had almost reached the top now. He looked around . . . found an open window close to the ground. They were almost in the room! Silver Keys quickly ran to the window, closed it, locked it, boarded itup . . . Ah, trapped with three chorus girls. r- Advertising Puzzle Prizes will not be distributed for thisissue's advertising, the/treason for this being that the Collegian was not distributed/to its*-;i regularfashion: Make this puzzle a practice trial for next "week's contest when the entire set of rules as listedbelow will be effective. â€¢;.'.

Like young warriors they stood, armedagainst the unknown. Mostly naked to the waist, the boys shouldered their heavy weapons like soldiersarmored from birth. Guns, blades, bows, swords-all these things could be made from a stick. Loaded with competitive spirit, they confronted their younger brother. They stood in a semi-circle, nearly surroundingthe child. "Are you a boy or a girl?" asked a tall boy, not unkindly. "He's a boy." "Naw, she's a giri."Yah, she's a girl," his comrades responded. "I am a boy," he replied, looking down at his toes. "Youlook like a giri." "Well, I'm not; I'm a boy." He held a rusted army truck up for inspection. "See?" "Hey, arat patrol." Wha'dya know? "You are a boy." Why is your hair so long? "Why is his hair so long?" "Lookhow long his hair is." They questioned one another. But the wisest of them knew. "I bet he's a hippy.Aren'tcha? Are you a hippy? "No, I'm a boy." My name is Adam. Turn, turn any corner. Hear you musthear what the people say. You know that there's something going on around here, that surely won't stand the light of day. DAVID CROSBY The pleasant, folksy sound of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young floateddown from the hillside. But no one could understand the words, at that distance. "Adam, Adam," hismother's voice came down. Adam left the others and scampered up the hill. Shoulder length, blond hairtrailed along behind. No one knows the new family's name yet. They've been up on the hill there inGinny's little cottage for ten months now, but no one has bothered to ask. It's not that they wouldn't like to know; it's just that some people think that this isn't the first girl he's had up there-that is, she doesn't look like the same one he moved in with-and it might be a little awkward to ask her what "their" name is. "But it doesn't matter to me, of course." These kids don't get married anymore, anyway. "Did you know thatthe Brezlin boy had to get married?" "Mary said over gin â€¢ the other day that this year her boat wouldbe faster than yours. Whatever the case, I happen to know they've spent six thousand dollars in order towin that race." Mary is a competitive person: "Remember last year during the flag-pole frenzy, just beforethe Fourth, when everyone on the beach was competing to see who could raise the tallest staff? Well,Mary couldn't find a long enough log on the beach, so she sent the kids off in the woods to cut one. Atfirst we thought it was too green to stand up straight, dead." But the competitive spirit prevailed; Mary'sstars and stripes wave higher than anybody else's. The competitive spirit lends that certain quality to ournational anthem. And the rocket's red glare, the bomb bursting in air Cave proof through the night that our flag was still there. from THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER Adam's parents don't come down to thebeach much. Only the child ventures close to the water, looking for playmates. The parents just stay upthere in the woods, blasting that rock 'n roll music. You can't see their sundeck without leaving the warmsandy beach and going into the forest. But you can sure hear the music even without listening. Doing allright with material things You can tell by the way we live But with all the things man has learned how todo He still hasn't learned how to give. JAMES HENDRICKS / JOHNNY RIVERS The lady from Bellevuevisited once-to see if they noticed who was trespassing last weekend while she and her family went northin the family's twin-engine amphibian airplane to inspect her private island. "We didn't see anyonetrespassing. Some children were here wanting to know if they could use the beach down there. The boyknocked; I said 'Come in.' He said, 'I can't, you don't know me.' Didn't seem like a trespasser to me. I justtold him the beach isn't ours." They have fourteen cats, a few dirty oriental rugs of once-good quality, abeat up VW bus without flowers, a phonograph, and a lot of friends (who arrive at strange hours) in funkycars with city license plates. "Most people hereabouts just plain don't like 'em." Adam sometimes visitsat noon. Last time his mother sent a letter, explaining that they are vegetarians and asking that Adam not be offered meat. "This is a surprisingly articulate note," said the beach, "but that poor little boy reallyneeds to eat meat." "And someone should cut the poor child's hair. Then the others might not excludehim so much, might let him join in their afternoon wars." Why doesn't his mother shorten his hair? Speak out, you got to speak out against I; the madness, you got to speak your mind, | if you dare % But don'ttry to get yourself elected If you do you had better cut your hair. DAVID CROSBY "All that we reallyknow about them." remarked the chairman of the meeting, "is that a lot of people can't tell whether thelittle boy is a boy or not." "Does anybody know what he does for a living?" Somebody heard he ran agardening service, out of Seattle. "Well, he's no gardener, I'll tell you that, not with the hours he keeps." -"Not unless he's raising pot up there." "He must have some grass growing up on that hill." "That's prob'lywhy they're so secretive, so standoffish." The neighbors conjectured. But the wisest of them knew. "Hell,I'll bet he's a peddler, a dope pusher, you know." "Yah, one of those guys who sells drugs to our kids."What else could he be? They're hippies! You see: "We can't let Ginny sell them that property." Maryspoke up: "I don't like their kind of people." You see. Meeting adjourned, the chairman picked up aperiodical. A lovely young face gazed out from the cover: Look! She said "Is Freedom Dying in America?"by Henry Steele Commager. * * . * And the Jefferson Airplane raged down from the hillside: Loyalty totheir kind They cannot tolerate our minds In loyalty to our kind We cannot tolerate their obstruction.from CROWN OF CREATION We are all outlaws in the eyes of America In order to survive we steal cheat lie forge fred hide and deal We are obscene lawless hideous dangerous dirty violent and young.

Won't you try? from VOLUNTEERS ---------- Western Front - 1970 July 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, July 14,1970 By Billie Hargadine Revolutionaries, hippies, Black Panthers,Weathermen-all the counter-cultures have one thing in common-a belief that there are better ways of life, that there can be alternatives to the present system. The Good Earth Community in Bellingham isfounded on that belief. "We are acting as though the revolution has already happened, and we arebuilding a life-style accordingly," said Bill Heid, one of the founders. The Good Earth Community is aregistered, non-profit corporation which seeks to provide educational and other WELCOME SuperiorCleaners COFFEE HOUSE Open: 11 to 11 Mon.- Thus 11 to 12:30 Fri. - Sat 11 to 10 Sun. 1140 WState St programs designed to promote p e r s o n a l w h o l e n e s s, environmental awareness andcommunity peace. The main headquarters and offices are located at the Good Earth Community Center, 1000 Harris Ave., in South Bellingham. The Center is a multi-purpose facility for people, projects andprograms, including the Community School, Community Food Cooperative, the Northwest FreeUniversity, Place for People and the Northwest Passage (an underground newspaper). The Good EarthCommunity isn't just a corporation, a building or a program, though. It isn't even just people. It is all ofthese, and more, existing in harmony with the environment. It is an earth community-an inter-relationship-a state of mind and being. Its history is one of organic evolvement. It just grew. One projectpointed out the need for another, which in turn led to still another. Separate projects LANGEVOLKSWAGEN 112SamishWay 734-5230 Sales: New and used Volkswagens.

Bernie Weiner, a member of the Northwest Passage editorial board,said:"We don't get paid for the work we do. We must be either crazy or committed to something webelieve in." A staff member asked "Can we choose which?" Members of the community are committedto turning pipe dreams into realities. Some of their dreams that have become realities are: TheCommunity Schoolâ€”A free school for children. It is looking for model ways of educating withoutcoercing, to educate through life experiences and to make knowledge relevant. Earlier this year the high school students drew up a proposal for a drop-out program. This program will offer to drop-outs theeducational experiences they need or want-college preparation, vocational training, wilderness survivaltactics or whatever. It was submitted for a government grant which was subsequently awarded, butbureaucratic red tape has delayed funding. C o m m u n i t y Food C o o p e r a t i v e â€” A n ordering-delivery service for natural, organic foods. A wide range of foods is available, including honey, dried fruitsand nuts, grains and cereals, beans, rice, peanut butter and teas. Orders placed by 3 p.m. Sunday willbe delivered the following Saturday. One of the Community Center's rooms is being remodeled for apermanent store. For further information call Ron or Dave at 734-0083. Northwest Passageâ€”A bi-monthly newspaper devoted to ecology in the broad sense of interdependence of people and i n s t i t u t i o n s in their environment. The Passage is acquiring a national reputation for its articles on ecology,one of which was recently placed in the Congressional Record. N o r t h w e s t Free U niversityâ€”Analternative to adult education. The Free U is open to those who wish to share in a learning experiencewith others.

VU Director Resigns Post Chris Karp, directorof the Viking Union and center of a major controversy between the college administration andAssociated Students (A.S.), has resigned. After two years at Western, Karp is going to work for theAlaska Department of Education. He will work in that state's regional school and boarding home program which is being expanded. That program served students from areas too small to have high schools."The job presents a new challenge and exciting prospects for the future," according to Karp. The V.U.Director's resignation was demanded last Fall by A.S. as part of a set of reforms designed to givestudents control of student activities and funds. The dispute climaxed in a special session of the A.S.legislature held in the V.U. lounge where a list of charges against Karp was presented. Later theAdministration and student leaders agreed on the creation of the Associated Student Affairs CouncilDXCTO'S We specialize in the Finest Italian Foods 111 E. Magnolia Street Next to Pay 'n Save Ordersto Go 734-9635 (ASAC), to answer the students' complaints, an4 the demand for Karp's resignationwas dropped. Recently, the controversy had shown signs of reheating. A.S. President Greg Baker hadcharged that the Administration's attempt to rehire Karp without going through the A.S. was contraryto the spirit of the agreement. He had raised the possibility of a renewed confrontation in the Fall. It isexpected that Karp's resignation will resolve the problem since the A.S.A.C. will have to choose hissuccessor. No candidates for the job (traditionally a difficult and insecure one) have yet come forward.Chris Karp had no comment to make on the dispute which had involved him. He leaves Western with"the usual farewells and goodbyes." ---------- Western Front - 1970 July 14 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, July 14, 1970 Western Front 3 ow that the Buffalo's Gone ... High Court Hears Western"Vagrants" By Bert Halprin The Buffalo Party Congress and Pig Roast was and wasn't held July 3. 4,and 5 at the Flying M Ranch near Eatonville Knowing this, it should come as no surprise that it was avery puzzling, often self-contradictory event. Legally, this first public event of the now-forming BuffaloParty never took place. It was prohibited by the Pierce County Superior Court for allegedly being a rockfestival in disguise. Rock festivals are no-no's in Pierce County. Injunction Hangups This prevented theselling of tickets (it never stopped the giving away of tickets for "donations") and kept most of "brothers" declared "a victory in our war with the Pig Nation (i.e. America). We've taken shit from the man (i.e.police) for the last time. From now on we stand up and spit in his eye." No one was arrested on theranch itself, but about 40 people were picked up just outside it, mostly on dope charges. There wasn'tthat much rock and roll to be heard since the g e n e r a t o r s were quite temperamental. But whatthere was was very good and greatly appreciated. There was a lot of garbage and totally inadequatefacilities for disposal. But people were amazingly good about cleaning up after themselves and limeeventually was let through the the Buffalo Party organizers from showing up. It did not, however, preventa crowd estimated at 30,000 (15,000 at one time) from showing up for what was called "a private partyfor the world." Because of the injunction, the Pierce County Sheriff and his men blocked the roads to the Flying M sporadically during the event. When the roads were closed, people parked outside and hiked, or found little known logging trails. Faced with this, and with thousands of people jamming tinyEatonville, police changed their minds and let people drive in on the main road at least some of the time. The attitude of those in charge of the Congress was also puzzling. In a news conference RichardDokker, apparently the man in charge, explained that he told the people at the ranch to leave because of the injunction but they didn't listen and instead hooted him. Rhetoric, Rock and Dope On the scene,the rhetoric -;vas definitely hard line. Buffalo police blockade for sanitary reasons. Water was scarceand people were hot, dry, and dusty. But what there was was shared and people in Eatonville sent up awater truck. Lots of people were naked, lots of dope was sold very, very openly; lots of people had agreat time and talked about "all the good vibes." But somehow it wasn't that satisfying for a lot of people. The turnover was high as was most of the crowd. And as people left they traveled past the inquisitiveeyes of police who searched those cars they thought had drugs hidden in them. This sent a lot of people home on a sour note. Buffalo Politics Missing It is interesting to compare the Buffalo Party Congresswith the Vancouver Liberation Front's (VLF) "free party for the world," held the previous weekend inStanley Park, Vancouver. That party was free without any virtually mandatory donations. Food was also distributed free of charge, as was some dope. It was announced at Eatonville that dope selling wascalled off and all dealers would give away their wares in front of the stage. A lot of people congregatedlooking anxiously for the reformed dealers. What little free dope there was seemed to end up on stageand a lot of people were disappointed. Stanley Park is beautiful, right on the water, with forests, trails,lakes, and grass. The Flying M had a couple of pools and a creek. People were constantly being askednot to swim in the water being used for drinking. In Vancouver there were a lot of people involved in veryheavy political raps, with Yippies, VLF, orthodox Communists, trade unionists, and even conservative,straight old men. At Eatonville the political raps (with a few exceptions, most notably Chip Marshall)were so composed of rhetoric as to almost be parodies of themselves. In contrast to the 40 arrests inEatonville, the major hassle in Vancouver resulted in one motorcycle being ticketed and two mountedpolice having "pig" yelled at them. It was resolved by simply asking people to move their bikes. Whileboth weekends had their points, I, for one, hope the rock festival movement is more in the direction of the Free Party than the Buffalo Party.ijiminiiiiiiiniiiMiiiiiihiniiMiiiiHiiiiHHUMiuihHiiHinMMiMiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii) t X 3 n v t t i 0 n At last speaking honestly there is no hope for the past but touching formlessly Ifind a caring smile and a sun shines through my prism and I glow warm orange and peaceful greenwhile the shadows of leaves dance on the wall of my heart as I learn the freedom and joy of pale bluelove between just friends. Jan DeCastro VU Staff On June 10 the State Supreme Court begandeliberation on a case involving eight Western students. The eight were convicted of vagrancy on Jan. 6,1969 and sentenced to five days in jail. The charge was a result of the Nov. 26, 1968 arrest of thestudents for distributing anti-draft pamphlets at Sehome High School. The students were asked to leavebecause they were not there for "lawful purposes." "Lawful purposes" is a phrase from a city ordinancewhich makes you a vagrant on school property unless you are a student, parent or guardian of astudent, or a school employee. American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Mike Rosen has argued that theordinance violates the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution which guarantees free speech, freepress, and free assembly. The defendants have lost cases at the district court level and county superiorcourt level. n f betty brite cleaners 1314 state street 734-9670 â€¢ * Â« â€¢ Â« * Â« ' The Someth'nElse appearing nightly except Sunday in the Court room (Mttf Sfeatattrattf Across from the LeopoldHotel 734-5700 1217 CornwallimiimiimiiniiiiiniiiiiniiiiininniiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMMiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiinii Hi,I'm Terry, the Checkered Chick.

This is a difficult question, one that brings forth many different answers.Some hold that a counter-culture is any group which embodies ideas in opposition to those dominant inAmerican society. They hold that groups such as the Black Panther Party, Communist Party USA,Women's Liberation, Brown Berets, etc., are all part of the counter-culture. Many "Middle Americans"see the counter-culture as all those who object to or obstruct the wishes of the silent majority. Thiscovers dissenters such as Senator Fullbright, all blacks, most young people, and those on welfare.Generally, however, counter-culture refers to those actively engaged in building a new culture right inthe middle of the old one. They do not feel it is necessary to destroy the current political, economic, and social systems to do so. It is the group generally called the "hippies." The counter-culture smokes pot instead of drinking. Its ritual is the rock-festival instead of the mass. It seeks personalism rather thanindividualism. It favors cooperation over competition. It overlooks differences between the sexes ratherthan emphasizing them. It is mystical, not rational. It despises property rather than worshipping it. It is existential rather than logical. But it isn't working and it can't work. Building a counter-culture withoutdestroying the old culture is impossible. Without revolution, the counter-culture must fail, for no eliteholding state power ever gives it up voluntarily. It is falling victim to what Oswald Spengler, writing in "The Decline of the West," calls "Historical Pseudo-morphosis." He defines this as "those cases in which anolder alien culture lies so massively over the land that a young culture cannot get its breath and fails notonly to achieve pure and specific expression forms, but even to develop fully its own self-consciousness." This inability to develop pure and specific expression forms is seen in the co-optionwith which Amerika meets each expression of the counter-culture. Drugs become the theme of manytelevision shows, including a soap opera; drugs make the cover of all national magazines.Businessmen sell "psychedelic" clothes, wallpaper, furniture, jewelry, dishes, glasses, luggage, shoes,toys, and toilet bowls. "Rock festivals" become big business, promoted in baseball stadiums at $16 ahead. The inability to develop a full self-consciousness is shown in what is referred to as the hypocrisy of the hippie who abhors possessions but rushes out to buy the latest Stones' record. Who drives out tothe commune in his convertible. Who sneers at meaningless work but does nothing creative. Whodeclares he isn't part of the system while waiting in line for food stamps. We support the principles andgoals of the counter-culture. But at the same time we realize that they can never be achieved bydropping out. As the Seattle Liberation Front Program says, "To love we must live. To live we mustsurvive. To survive we must fight."

The teacher would draw the cuttinglines, ditto them onto various-colored construction paper, make neat criss-cross stacks with the papersaccording to sequence and color, then start them down row one, row two, row three . . . until everyonehad all the parts assembled. We would cut and paste and color until we had "made" a turkey or amanger or an Easter basket; then teacher would pin the best ones onto the cork above the blackboard, for our reward. In marketing 335 last week the members of the class were engaged in makingconstructions. For the most part they were looking out the window, smoking cigarettes, biting theirfingernails, talking, or just plain sleeping; but they were making something too. They were makinggrades. How do you construct a grade? You come to class; you respond by raising your arm when youhear your name during "roll call." You do things like go read a magazine article on the subject ofmarketing, write a report, single-space it onto a ditto (40 copies)-either that or you use the one yourroommate did two quarters ago-put your name at the bottom, and bring it all to class; then you take himseriously when he tells you that you're going to read those 40 reports, "evaluate them objectively " andgrade each of your colleagues on the merit of his performance. Maybe you take careful notes when you're given an explanation of this grading procedure. You ask questions like "Is Pacific Northwest Bell amonopoly?" If you're making a particularly good grade, you might argue about that one. Mostimportantly, you consistently overlook the very obvious: 90 per cent of what he says you already knew.You cut and paste and color according to the laws of accuracy and neatness. And when you are finishedyour finished product is his finished product; he pins it on your transcript and it becomes their finishedproduct. That's your reward. You are profitably rewarded for having reproduced, to the best of your ability, someone else's concept of reality. And your profits will continue to grow, provided you don.'t. This is also why it is precisely the same kids who have the most gold stars after their name by the door to the artroom who are voted most likely to succeed, later. Some of those less likely to succeed are out there inthe business world right now. Would all those who have ever sat in on a big-time dope deal please raisetheir heads. High above the several bars, barbecue pits, barber shops, and beauty parlors of theWashington Plaza Hotel sat Michael, sipping a scotch. He was, as it were, sitting on top of the world.And then, business was looking good, too. The last time I saw Michael he was peddling black lightposters at one of those California-inspired "teen fair" affairs held in a barn at the county fair grounds.Now, he and some friends had managed to fly in a thousand ki's which they would sell at, roughly, 700per cent profit to local wholesalers, who would then let it go at between one- and two-hundred per centmarkup, depending on how well they liked the dope and the buyer. Their only overhead had been thattantalizing variable, risk. And Michael had taken care of at least his end of that. He wore a suit and a tie.His hair was cut-off; his mustache was trimmed. He looked exactly like a hip who had straightened upjust enough to risk a commercial plane flight in the dubious company of a thousand ki's. But he could'vepassed for a junior executive in a company taking a positive step to do something about the generationgap. The door buzzed. Reefers were flushed down the toilets, in a business-like sort of way. Michaelgreeted an assortment of near-strangers. They wanted to sample the stuff, of course. For an instant heconsidered raising the price to cover unanticipated overhead. But he knew these were friends. The riskwas high, but so were the profits. He took the plunge. Now he's retired. Conclusions should be drawnaccording to individual perceptions.

It is simply false thatmy letter further supports your contention that "the faculty has monopolized control over the c u r r i c ul a r m a t t e r s ." Monopolized control means total control. For approximately 17 months, that is, since Feb., 1969, 4 of the 16 members of the Academic Council have been students and as full-fledged voting members have exercised enough power to secure the adoption of the Pass-Fail grading system for allcourses in General Education without any provision for the maintenance of scholastic standards. Thus it became necessary for faculty members not on the Council to protest Council actions and to persuadethe Council to modify the Pass-Fail system in the ways that my letter described. It is also false that Iinferred in my letter that the Faculty have "a monopoly on wisdom." 'FAIRHAVEN GOES NAVY Fivestudents from Fairhaven College recently spent an â€¢afternoon visiting the Naval Air Station at Whidbey Island as an aftermath of a teach-in organized by Fairhaven students spring quarter. Three officers fromNAS Whidbey attended an intensive study of the war in Southeast Asia organized by students lastquarter. Parents, too, were invited and the meetings were open to the public. As a consequence of theirvisit, the three officers took the lead in arranging for students to visit the naval station to discuss mattersof common concern with naval personnel. The discussions which took place enabled the collegestudents to discover both the wide range of opinion and the individual freedom of naval officers and men,Dr. Charles Harwood, dean of Fairhaven College, explained.

My concluding sentence clearlyimplied that BOTH STUDENTS AND FACULTY MEMBERS can be right or wrong, wise or foolish.Arthur C. Hicks Emeritus Professor of English ECONOMICS Editor, THE WESTERN FRONT: Youreditorial of June 30 illustrates the confusion that exists in the minds of many who are concerned withstudent involvement with hiring and retention" of faculty. Specifically I am concerned with the commentthat in Economics, along with other named departments, the present system has resulted in a situationwhere "one cannot discover a single Marxist or radical'." First, you suggest that Marxists and radicalsshould be and would be on the staff if students did participate more completely in the hiring process.This is a non-sequitur. Second, one can be a Marxist or radical and not be an economist. Prof. Paul M.Sweezy, a well-known American Marxian economist, lamented at the last annual meeting of the A m e ri c a n Economics Association that the current crop of "Marxist" economists were not interested instudying Marx's works. Remember, we are concerned with hiring and retaining good economicsteachers. The department has had and still has faculty who are well qualified to teach Marxianeconomics. This does not mean they are Marxists, however. Since your editorial was concerned partlywith the subject of radical economics, may I refer you to the May, 1970 issue of The AmericanEconomic Review, "A Radical Approach to Economics: Basis for a New Curriculum" (pp. 352-363) andto the discussions of that paper by Prof.. Paul M. Sweezy (pp. 376) and Prof. John R. Coleman (pp. 378-379). Would it be wise at the present time, in view of Prof. Coleman's remarks, to allocate our veryscarce resource (student and faculty time) to teaching an area which offers such a small marginalbenefit to the students? This does not preclude an interested student from studying Marxian economicsaltogether. I am sure that a student with sufficient background in economics could find a faculty personin this department who would provide a Readings course for him, but he had better have a greatercommitment to the subject than idle curiosity. The route is difficult. As far as "radical" economists, I am not sure one exists today. Certainly there are no great number who would survive student evaluationprocedures at the end of the quarter.

Â» u w m Â»Â» ' . i Â» m i ' The value of Ginsberg's "Indian Journals" is that they provide a reasonably coherentaccount of how, as Ginsberg says in an interview in the Paris Review, he got out of the corner he had"painted himself in with drugs" and into a life "in the body rather than getting out of the human form."The time span for the journals is one year. Ginsberg, at the start of the journal, details an evening ofopium smoking and ends the journal with the remark "-leave immortality for another to suffer like a fool, / not get stuck in a corner of the universe/sticking morphine the arm and eating meat." He spends a great deal of time visiting gurus in India and seeing the sights while high on various types of benevolent drugsfrom ganja to morphine. One of the things that reoccur in the journals are descriptions of the cremations which are quite specific. With this examination of death, Ginsberg also records several dreams andvisions which, in context, are hard to separate from the descriptions of India. The idea occurred to methat the Indian society provided Ginsberg with a mirror image of the endless multi-dimensional dreams,visions and LSD perceptions that he was having so much trouble with. This inner and outer chaos ofnon-human entities seems to have caused Ginsberg to make a peace with his own Self. The non-humanoutside and inside Ginsberg which he felt he had to explore becomes less important than the humanGinsberg. The book is invaluable as a record of a poet's progress with himself and his obsessions butfor any reader familiar with Ginsberg and the drug experience, the Journals are even more valuable forre-running certain patterns of thinking that occur to an American in the 20th Century.

Picking up a slight and hard-won majority, the forces backing Carl Maxeyliterally wrote a liberal platform from the floor of the convention. The influence of the WashingtonDemocratic Council (WDC) became apparent almost immediately and from Thursday to Saturday theymanaged enough floor votes to control the final draft put forward at the convention. On Friday CarlMaxey blasted at his opponent, Senator Henry Jackson (D-Wash.), and outlined his major positions.His major point was that America must turn its priorities from military spending to domestic problems,particularly in funding education and cities. On Saturday Sen. Jackson introduced Sen. WarrenMagnuson. A demonstration for Sen. Jackson was countered by a demonstration by Maxey supportersand confusion reigned for about 15 minutes. After Sen. Magnuson's keynote speech and proceduralmatters, the convention began to work on the platform. The first test of respective liberal and conservative delegate strength came over the wording of the preamble to Section I. The conservative force wanted toremove some of the language that denounced the fear of Communism as grounds for sacrificing theinternal economic interest of America to military spending. The liberals won, and the language stayed.The battle moved to a Vietnam plank which called for . support of the McGovern- Hatfield SenateAmendment No. 609. The liberals won again. The liberals also pushed through a plank for amnesty "toall young men who have gone abroad or to prison because of their opposition to the war in Vietnam, andthat amnesty be extended to all young men who have gone to prison or have been dishonorablydischarged because of their refusal to serve in Vietnam." The first resolution passed dealt with ruleswhich made the Democratic Party in this state democratic in its procedures. Another resolution, number four, was passed in support of young people's right to peacefully demonstrate and have policeprotection. Resolution number five called for the effective implementation of Article VI of the Bill of Rights. Tllley's Tees Golf Range Buckets of balls $1.25 $1.00 Open Daily 1635 Valencia 733-2580Resolution number six finally separated the liberals and conservatives to an alarming hostility towardseach other. The resolution basically said racism is an identified, serious problem: Democrats at thismeeting are opposed to racism; and "BE IT RESOLVED that t h e Washington State Democratic Partyshall hereinafter no longer support a candidate for public office who maintaisn an affiliation with fraternalorganizations, such as the Elks Lodge, which excludes individuals from membership on the basis oftheir race or color." Senator Jackson is a member of the Elks. Speakers for and against received mixedapplause and adverse noises. A motion was made to table the resolutions. The final vote to table was547 for, 538 against, with four abstentions. The vote was called into question on the grounds that somecounties had not reported their abstentions and if they had been counted, a majority of those delegatespresent would not have voted for the table. The chair appeared to misunderstand the question and ruledthat a majority had voted for the table. The motion to adjourn failed. A motion was made and passed totake resolution number six off the table. Joe Nusbaum, floor leader for the liberals, moved to adoptresolution number six. The response was different this time, with wild enthusiasm for the speakers infavor of passing the resolution. It was passed 555 for, 479 against. The last resolution considered dealtwith candidates running on the platform or announcing which planks they could not, in good conscience, support. After 15 days candidates who failed to say which, if any, planks they could not support, wouldbe refused party support. This failed-478 for, 509 against. It must be said that some of Sen. Jackson'ssupporters probably voted for the liberal platform planks. The convention did not make any pre-primaryendorsements. Neither Carl Maxey nor Henry Jackson would have been able to muster a very theBarbering substantial majority for endorsement. What has happened, however, is that Carl Maxey, theWDC, and liberal Democrats in general have won a victory by producing a platform that conformed totheir sentiments. The question is, can they nominate and elect candidates who will run on the platform? Bottles Initiative 256, which will end the use of no-deposit bottles in Washington, will be on November's ballot. Dave Miller, state coordinator for the initiative, said the idea for it came to Dr. Robert Keller and a group of Fairhaven students early this spring when they cleaned up bottles and garbage on Sehome Hillonly to see the hill littered again. To get on the ballot a petition must be signed by 8% of those whovoted in the last gubernatorial election. 8% represents about 102,000 signatures. An organization ofvolunteers and groups ranging from churches to the Sierra Club was set up in 55 communities acrossthe state to participate in the signature drive. Deadline for the petitions was July 3, but as of June 20there was doubt that the required number of signatures would be obtained. However, they were floodedby another 90,000 signatures, more than enough to fulfill the requirement. Although Initiative 256 wasthe last to be filed, it had the most signatures for any initiative ever turned in to the Secretary of State.However, the authors of Initiative 256 want to be sure the measure passes in November. They askanyone interested in working in their home town for the initiative to call 734-1817 or write P.O. Box 126,South Bellingham Station. Recycle This Paper T. BAKER 106 N.

DEPARTMENT. (By Inez Wynn, A. P Foster.) \ THE NATIVES OF THE CONGO FREE STATE. Professor Starr, of the University of Chicago, gave an excellent lecture on the subject above mentioned at the Normal Auditorium, on the evening of October 18. After telling us how we could best get to the Congo river, he began to describe this wonderful river. At the distance of one hundred and five miles from shore line the fresh water of the Congo, which is of a brownish color, can be distinguished from the salt water. Metallia is the first town of importance on the way up the river, but Leopoldville, a town reached by rail, in order to avoid the cataracts and falls of the river, is of most importance. Above Leopoldville the river is navigable for ten thousand miles. A three-minute walk from this town will take us to a small native village. The houses are built of poles and are covered with mats or leaves. These houses are so built that they may be taken apart and carried to some new site and there set up again. The lecturer had a very realistic interpretation of this custom. On arriving at the spot where a village had once been with camera and photographer he was surprised to find that the village had literally taken legs and walked off. When a native dies it is the custom of these people to bury him in the ground beneath his own house, place the trinkets and eatables beside the grave and fasten up the piece of matting which serves as a door. As a manager of a plantation Professor Starr had an excellent opportunity to study these people. He states that they are a harmless people and that there is but one thing to fear in that country, and that is a crocodile. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger These people work for the small stipend of about six cents per week, which is paid in rations and salt and an additional monthly wage of a bolt of cloth, which is valued at about one dollar and five cents. This wage, says Professor Starr, is scarcely earned as they are a very indolent people. The only reason that a young man wishes to work is that he may be able to buy a wife. After he has a wife he may rest while his wife provides for the family. " Some cannibals are found among the natives, and some pygmies, but these are exceptions to the rule. As a conclusion a series of stereopticon views were given illustrating the native customs as to facial decoration, head-dress, etc. In regard to the question of inhuman treatment of the natives by the Belgian government, the lecturer stated that in his year's sojourn in the Congo Free State he had seen none of it, and that in his opinion it was almost entirely newspaper talk. MY IMPRESSION OF BELLINGHAM. I left the train at the wooden station And walked up the wooden street, The wooden car came up from afar, And I sat on its wooden seat. Up the street it went pell-mell And put me off at a wooden hotel. I took a bath in a wooden tub And sat me down to partake of "grub." When I slept that night in the wooden bed, The only idea in my wooden head Was the wooden city of Bellingham. I started out for a new impression On a perpendicular walk. Still rose my ire as I mounted higher, But too much out of breath to talk. Later I climbed Sehome hill— That gave me a different sort of thrill; But that was nothing to Chuckanut, Up there where the narrow trail is cut. I stiffened my joints and wore out my shoes— Did everything but get the blues— In the hilly city of Bellingham. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 In intervals of my occupation, At close of a busy day, I watch the blue and every soft hue Of the sun-rinsed, shimmering bay. The mist arising from the sea Creates a city of dreams for me; And when I the loftier feelings seek, I gaze on Mt. Baker's snowy peak— Or go to the woods and commune with God, 'Mid the ferns and the pines and cool, green sod Of the beautiful town of Bellingham. But of all this strange, weird combination, The thing that reaches my heart— That I love best, at work and at rest, And from which I most hate to part— Is the place where I come every morn, The place where youth and youngsters swarm, The place where a smile I'm sure to meet, The place where every one's sure to greet, The place which is sending its teachers out To all the country round about— The Normal School of Bellingham. —BERENICE BARNES. DAVIDSON GLACIER. (Extract from a letter written by Mr. Guy Allison, formerly editor of The Messenger, now principal of the Tacoma schools, for the Kirks-ville Daily Express, descriptive of his trip to Alaska last June.) Four o'clock came none too soon, for we were anxious to leave Skagway. As the Santa Rosa turned again to the south and steamed away to Davidson Glacier we left the little town of Skagway and soon were busy eating a well prepared dinner. When told that we would get to the glacier by 8 o 'clock in the evening all of us who expected to attempt the climb, donned overshoes, rubber boots and overcoats, and by the time we had arrived one-half mile off shore, fifty-seven men and women? boys and girls, stood on the deck ready to be helped into the lifeboats which were to carry us ashore. I shall never forget that half-mile ride. We were tossed far up and then lowered by the great waves, but we never feared, for five strong sailor boys were hold of the long oars and the first mate steered us safely. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger No sooner had we landed than we started across a large level meadow, containing about eighty acres. Doubtless we looked like a band of Indians as we went single-fie along the narrow trail. After we had crossed about a quarter of a mile of this, we entered a very dense forest of cedar and alder. But our trail led on and on yet with never a sign to guide us save the beaten path beneath us. When we had walked through one and one-half miles of such dense growth we emerged from it, crossed a rushing clay colored stream and within five minutes we stood before Davidson Glacier—the goal of the summer tourist. Before us on the left lay a muddy lake, covering about five acres of space; on our right lay great heaps of clay debris which had been thrown down the medial moraines; before us, stretching up—up—up and fading into the very clouds lay the river of ice. The course of its current was marked by the moraines, which looked like great streaks upon a lighter background. Getting a large crooked stick I mounted the face with the others. Beneath me lay rough muddy ice; beside me, yawning crevices in which water clear and crystal ran silently; above me, the great mountain of ice; over me, a starlit sky of azure blue; beyond me, the wildest mountains and the calm fjord, in which I caught a glimpse of our great black ship as she waited for our return. Such a sight! There were eternal Winter touched and kissed by the June time summer and melted away in tears which ran down the cheeks of the blushing Summer and lost themselves in Old Mother Ocean. There I stood where no flowers ever bloomed, but where ice was always king; it was only the goat and gray ptarmigan who found a home upon it. We mounted higher, steadily picking our way along the ridges of ice, for had our foot slipped we should have been dashed to death in the chasms below. The ice grew clearer, and where the water had worn it smooth it presented a deep rich blue color. Though we walked for a quarter of a mile further, still the grandeur increased, and it was ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 7 ---------- The Normal Messenger 7 only upon hearing the whistle from our boat that our stay was cut short. The descent was much harder than the ascent for we had to hold ourselves back. Several just sat down and slid, but as I had a sharp pointed stick (which I still retain) I managed to walk. It was a jolly, mud spattered crowd that followed the trail back to the beach, but each of us realized that we had had an experience which comes in to the life of but comparatively few people, climbing a glacier. SOCIETIES. (By Louise Walker.) Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. C. A. has played an important part in the social life of the school this fall. On Friday afternoon of the first week of school about 100 students and members of the faculty enjoyed a social cup of tea in the Association Eoom. t The Y. W. C. A. gave their annual reception in Society Hall, on the evening of September 20. A large number of students and friends were present. On Saturday afternoon, October 19, Mrs. Deerwester entertained the members of the association at her home, on James street, in a very delightful manner. The young ladies of the association will give a banquet in the capacious dining room of the Normal Dormitory. The decorations and menu will be suggestive of Halloween. Three classes have been organized in Bible study: "The History of the Old Testament," conducted by Mrs. Nettleton; "The Life of Christ," by Miss Gray, and "The Gospel of St. John," by Miss Sperry. THESPIAN DRAMATIC 80CIETY. The Thespian Dramatic Society is composed of twenty-six members. The society had its first open meeting Friday, ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Normal Messenger October 18, at which it presented, in an able manner, the trial scene from Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice." The society is preparing to present "The Maid of Plymouth," a dramatization of Miles Standish. The plan of the society is to observe an order of progression in dramatic work, and during the spring semester scenes from some of the greatest tragedies will be given. THE MUSICAL CLUB. Much enthusiasm is being shown in the Musical Club, which is composed of twenty-six members. They are planning to appear in assembly in the near future. The club is under the able direction of Miss Moore. ALKISIAH CLUB. Mr. 0'Sullivan has been selected as critic of the club. Their last meeting was spent in the discussion of the Northwest. Olive Kale gave a map sfeidy of, the first road of Washington. Miss Veda Forrest told of pioneer days in Washing-tpn, The Young Men's Debating Club reorganized early in the semester and has held its meetings each week since. The meetings are on Saturday evenings in Society Halfc The club- plans to have a debate each meeting and supplements this with addresses, extemporary speeches and orations; The interest shown by the young men seems a* first phenomenal, yet there is no phase of school Mtork-more conducive to mental: training and to real preparation for the duties of life ikm the habit of the student standing up^ before tiia fellows and doing his best to speak on the topic at hand.

A committee consisting of two members of the faculty, one member of the alumni, the editor-in-chief, and the business manager has been appointed to advise the editorial staff. The business men of the city have great confidence in the paper as an advertising medium. We trust that this confidence is not misplaced. In behalf of the faculty and students we thank the business men for their support. May the money thus invested be returned to them many fold. Pew schools, if any, can boast of a growth which will equal that of the Bellingham Normal. It was established by an act of the legislature in the year 1893, but no appropriation was made for maintenance until 1899. Two years after the school started, in answer to the demand for more room, the legislature appro- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 priated money to build the Annex, where the training school is now located. Again in 1907 more room was needed, so the legislature appropriated money to build the Science Annex, on the north end of the building. These constant demands for more room show what a growth the school has had. Young as the school is it stands at the head of the Normal schools of the Northwest. Students come from all parts of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, British Columbia, and even Alaska, to share its advantages. Its graduates are in demand everywhere. Its pathway looks brighter than ever before. Bellingham Normal is destined to become one of the leading schools of the Pacific Coast. The girls at the University are making pin money by taking care of the babies of the faculty, while their mothers attend entertainments, musicales and social functions. Take note, girls, the same can be done here. The working plan of The Messenger has been changed. Instead of each class and society having a reporter to report proceedings to The Messenger, we have the different departments, i. e., Literary, Athletic, Society, Local and Alumni, with a capable editor at the head of each department, who are responsible for the news of their particular phase of school life. The principal of the Denver High School has requested that all young ladies attending that institution have pockets made in their dresses. For various reasons we suggest that Dr. Mathes make the same request of Normal girls. The Messenger, with its Athletic, Society, Alumni and Local Departments, will be a newspaper. But unlike our small competitors on Dock street and Railroad avenue, in that we will not print stories of Graft, Divorces, Criminal Court Proceedings, Murders nor Scan- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1907 November - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger dal in any form. Nor will we attempt to pick the next President of the United States, Mayor of the City, or any man for public office. "We expect to give the people healthy, clean reading. As for the policy of the paper, nothing need be said, save that the best man should have the place, regardless of party affiliations. With our Literary Department we intend to give good reading—short stories, stories of travel, biography, etc. In a word, we want a newspaper and magazine combined, selecting the best parts of each, thereby giving the subscribers something worth reading. Each number of The Messenger will contain an article of interest by a member of the faculty, the Alumni Association or from some other source of interest. We take pleasure in publishing in this number an extract from a letter written by Mr. Guy Allison, descriptive of a part of his trip to Alaska last summer. A. D. F. ATHLETICS. (By N. Davenport.) With about $70 in the treasury the Athletic Associatoin looks forward to a prosperous year. A new schedule has been arranged for the Kline cup games. There will be six match games in the evening to open the season Tjdth, and all remaining games, except the semi-finals and the final game, will be played in the afternoon. The schedule follows: EVENING GAMES. November 8—First vs. Second; Juniors vs. Fourth. November 15—Third vs. First; Seniors vs. Fourth.

Roy's sentimentalism was evidently aroused by the notice that appeared on the bulletin board concerning school teachers and matrimony. Or why should he "Walk-Up" to a prospective school-marm, propose and be publicly accepted. Rumor has it that a breach-of-promise suit is in progress. If Harvey won the candy, Then will some one tell me why He should take the loser walking 'Neath the moon-lit autumn sky And feed that loser candy, Which he, the winner, had to buy? The Normal students enjoyed the good theaters of last week, but the one most appreciated was that of "Checkers," in which the Normal boys made their first appearance on the stage as actors.

It was held in the gymnasium of the school. A good time was reported. The classes will have to go some if they entertain in Assembly as well as Miss Montgomery did with her story of "Hardscrabble."

Initiative 325: a new controversy sparks by BILL SLATER In past weeks Initiative 325, the nuclear safeguardsact, has sparked a great deal of controversy concerning the safety and necessity of nuclear power.Recently a new controversy has arisen, concerning the legalities and ethics of the campaign itself. Inparticular, the controversy concerns the appearance of alleged anti-325 advertisements paid for by theWashington Public Utility Districts' Association (PUD) with public funds. 'â€¢ According to attorneysrepresenting the Coalition for Safe Energy (CASE), there will be a â€¢ hearing before the PublicDisclosure Commission on Oct. 19 to determine the validity of these accusations. According to CASEattorneys, the appearance of certain advertisements publicizing a need for energy, especially a need fornuclear energy, is in effect, advertising against Initiative 325 and therefore in violation of the state publicdisclosure laws. "We feel that those ads do in fact relate to the initiative, said Dave Howard, CASEexecutive director. "It (the initiative) does relate to a question of need, and we feel they are trying toalleviate this question in the minds of the public . . . we are very upset about this." In a letter to the Public Disclosure Commission, John Dystel, an attorney representing CASE accused: "The WashingtonPublic Utilities Districts' Association has sponsored several of these advertisements in both of Seattle'snewspapers, including the following Front page advertisement in the Aug. 19 Seattle Post-Intelligencer:"IT'S HARD TO KEEP UP WITH THE INCREASING DEMAND." According to Dystel, the ad said:"Even with prudent conservation and our best energy management, growth and demand for energy willcontinue. Adequate jobs for today's children, pollution control and recycling, sewage and waste disposal,medical technology and research all depend on electric energy. "There are limited supplies of fossil fuelsand no more hydro sites. With proper environmental protection, the development of nuclear energy canbe the answer." Acording to Ken Billington, executive director of Washingtin PUDs, the allegations madeby CASE were completely unsubstantiated. "We feel confident' that our ads are not political," he said."There has been no advertisement by PUD which refers to Initiative 325 . . . Not one single ad! "We'vehad advertising programs for years and years concerning nuclear power," Billington added, "beforeInitiative 325 was more than a gleam in their eye." Essentially, the controversy centers around whetheradvertisements for nuclear power constitute advertisements against Initiative 325. If the Public DisclosureCommission decides they are, the PUDs could be accused of misusing public funds, and violating thestate's public disclosure laws. This could seriously affect voter support of the PUDs anti-325 stand.Western enrollment hits 9,123 An enrollment of 9,123 students for fall quarter, is about as expected,according to Registrar Eugene Omey. The enrollment is well above the biennium budget level, whichwas projected at 8,342 students. The average is now expected to settle around 9,000 or more students. Last year's fall enrollment was 9,198 students. Full-time student enrollment is 8,128, while part-time is995 students. Currently there are 4,593 males enrolled and 4,530 females which is comparable withlast year's figures. The college expects gradual growth until 1982, but predictions beyond that year are difficult to assess for two reasons. First, the "college age" population nationwide is expected todecline during the eighties and grow again during the nineties. Second, Washington, particularlynorthwest, is expected to grow as a result of immigration. This, said Omey, is not expected to affectWestern as much as other institutions in the eighties decline. Rape arrest expected soon An arrest isexpected soon in the early-morning rape of a Western woman, said R.G. Peterson, director of the safety and security office. The rape occurred at 2 a.m. Tuesday. The woman was walking behind Old Main,when a man jumped her and pulled her up Sehome Hill into a wooded area. She fainted during theabduction, later came to and walked back to her dorm. She and her roommate then phoned thesecurity office. The Bellingham Police Department provided a female officer to question the woman,Peterson said. She was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where she was given tests and treated for minorbruises. Peterson said this is the first reported rape on campus this year. ---------- Western Front - 1976 October 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, October 8,1976 Despite problems, Consumer Bureau still active by GREGGOLSEN Despite a major loss of funding, the Whatcom County Consumer Bureau is still alive and actingas a buffer between consumers and dishonest or unfair repair establishments. The loss of funding camelast April when bureau Director Richard Arvey detailed a program in which "recommended repairbusinesses" would be listed. Because funds were short businesses agreeing to meet the necessarycriteria were asked to pay Â£L $25 fee. The criteria included a 90-*day warranty on all repairs, a writtenestimate on all repairs if requested, no unauthorized work and the return of all replaced parts if requested. Arvey explained at the time that it was "a program the people wanted and requested." He argued thatmany repair shops do not require licensing. "Unfortunately, consumers must learn from their personalexperiences," he said. A County Commission hearing was held then to determine the program's validity."Commissioners told me before the hearing the result would be negative. They just buckled underpressure from businessmen," Arvey said. He also attributed the axing of the program, in part, to theBellingham Herald. "The Herald stories were completely slanted. Our concepts were different. Theywanted the bureau to be passive; we wanted to be active." Despite highly favoragle public opinion, thehearing was catastrophic for the bureau. "They not only stopped the recommended business list, theyaxed all of the bureau's funds," Arvey said. The bureau has maintained itself only with a lot of volunteertime, according to Anne Westcott, Arvey's assistant. Recently, the bureau released the names of fivebusinesses which have met the criteria of a revised recommended repair business list. The new list doesnot require a fee, but a $15 donation for publicity is requested. Keith Krafton, manager of Q.C. Stereo,explained why he chose to become part of the program. "Basically, the idea behind the program was our philosophy anyway. It is congruent with our policies." Krafton also said if his business was CONSUMER AWARENESS â€” Richard Arvey and Anne Westcott of the Whatcom County Consumer Bureau helpwith repair business hassles. not on the list it might imply it didn't meet the criteria. A spokesman forRector's Vacuum said, "A lot of people won't guarantee past the front door. By posting that we do have a90-day guarantee, we may gain more business. When you're a small business, you just try harder toattract customers." The bureau's main services are budget and credit counseling, educatingconsumers and investigating complaints. "Most of the claims are very reasonable," Westcott said. "Wehelp consumers understand the situation more clearly." The bureau's complaint procedure is basically asimple one according to Arvey. "We find out how far the consumer has taken the complaint on their own.Then we contact the establishment and request the necessary repair." He added that most businesses are cooperative. "Often it's just a case of misunderstanding," he said.. Â»-.. If need be, the bureauadvises consumers on possible legal action. Arvey said claims ..less than $300 may be filed in smallclaims court. Whatcom County consumers have recovered over $40,000 since the bureau was foundednearly two years ago. Many complaints regarded as "invalid" are so because of consumers' unrealisticexpectations. As an example, Arvey recalled a woman who simply became bored with her furniture aftersix months. When she tried to return it, the manager justifiably refused, Arvey said. She contacted thebureau, which explained the situation to her. "People are tired of getting ripped off. Consumer awarenesstime has come," Arvey said, emphasizing that consumer education is a major concern of the bureau.State, locar candidates due to appear here this month AS reviews activities Democratic gubernatorialcandidate Dixie Lee Ray will be on campus at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Lecture Hall 4.

Black, in charge of oral rehabilitation at Western, is interestedin forming a speech reading class for one or two nights a week. Speech reading, unlike lip reading,involves the use of what people are saying and of facial expressions â€” in short, a specialized form ofbody language. "If people can start at as early an age as possible to rehabilitate their residualhearing, the better off they will be," Black said. "More hearing losses occur at younger ages. Manyhearing losses are noise-induced, and because of the fast pace of our society. "Constant exposure toany superload noise will definitely have an effect on hearing," Black said. She and Carol McRandle, her supervisor, are concerned about students who think or know they have hearing problems. Blackrequested these students and others interested in a speech reading class please contact themthrouth the speech office at College Hall 103 or 3881. A Student Coop Bookstore audit, functions andplans of the Program Commission and KUGS-FM programming were presented to the AS Board ofDirectors at Tuesday's meeting. A net profit of $49,797 was shown in the audit report, which is four percent of total sales. Bookstore manager George Elliott presented the report and explained that $16,500 ofthe net profit came from operations and $33,200 came from interest, rental equipment and periodicalcommissions. Elliott stressed the bookstore is a non-profit operation and it tries to pass profits on to the students. "I agree that textbook prices are a rip-off," Elliott said. "We don't set the price." He also saidthe bookstore was trying to implement a "textbook standardization" program that would make all lowerdivision textbooks the same in each topic of study. Elliott said this would allow students to get moremoney when they sell back their books. The annual report to the board said $101,000 was returned tocustomers through discounts on merchandise. Textbooks are discounted 7.4 per cent off the publisher'sretail price and school and art supplies are discounted 10 to 25 per cent. Drugs and sundries arediscounted 22 per cent and trade books are discounted 5.4 per cent. Program commission goals weredescribed to board members as "providing quality and educational programming over the year," saidMike Kinder, AS program commissioner. The commission plans to achieve more continuity in the social-issues programs this year by concentrating on political candidates and issues. Among scheduledspeakers are Dixy Lee Ray, John Spellman, Puget Power spokespersons and members of SkagitoniansConcerned about Nuclear Power (SCANP). The Program Commission also sponsors concerts, dances,films, Mama Sundays and art shows in the VU Gallery. A variety of programming was described to board members by Mike Smith, KUGS-FM station manager. Between their 1 p.m. and 1 a.m. station hours,the station presents programming ranging from philosopher Alan Watts to renter and rider exchangeservices, Smith said. Smith reported on the summer repair of the transmitter which restored five watts tothe station's broadcasting power. KUGS-FM is sponsoring a disco from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday toraise money for the repair. Admission is 89 cents and will be held in the VU. AS board membersapproved a new KUGS-FM policy which allows station employes to hold positions for only two years.Middle Earth Waterbeds We Sell The Finest Sleeping Surface In The Northwest Low Prices Guaranteed Products Custom Built Frames Hand Crafted Furniture 1002 Atonroe St. In the Fountain DistrictBellingham. 733-9109 TONGUfS of FIKE A bible study looking at the book of Acts, held at CCM Housedown in the Pit, Mondays at 7:30.

Chances areyou won't be able to follow their lead with materials grown locally. "Of the approximately 10,000 specieswhich can be found in the Northwest, mushrooms of the genera psilocybe make up a very smallpercentage," said Dr. Lynn Brady, member of the University of Washington School of Pharmacy andnoted mushroom expert. Brady also cautions experimenters to "never eat anything until you havepositively identified the substance." He said. "There are between 300 and 500 local species that canmake you sick and three that can kill when taken in small - amounts. Carolyn Christensen,spokesperson for the Poison Information Center at St. Luke's Hospital, said they have seen "five or sixcases of mushroom poisoning' per month for the last couple of months." Symptoms have ranged "fromminor stomach upset to partial paralysis." Christensen said "severe overdoses can lead to respiratoryparalysis and cardiac arrest." If on the arrival the patient is not already vomiting, he will be givenmedication to induce that action, then he will be admitted to the hospital for observation. Christensensaid that "no mushroom deaths have occurred" during her two years at the Poison Information Center. Ityou are still considering crawling through the wet grass and warm cow pies in search of a shortcut toNirvana, there are legalities to be considered. James Doran, assistant prosecuting attorney for Whatcom County, said, "The possession of psilocybe mushrooms is a felony punishable by up to five years in jailand/or a $5,000 fine." He also said in his memory "no one has been prosecuted for locally pickedmushrooms." "This," he said, "is because most we have run tests on have turned out to be poisonous,not hallucinogenic. These people are getting off on poison, not a controlled substance." A spokespersonfor the Whatcom County Sheriff, who asked not to be named, said, "We don't get too excited about a guy walking around with a plastic bag full of mushrooms. However, the farmers are upset over the largenumber of trespassers." He said a "substantial number" of trespassing summons have been issued."One field," he said, "had No Trespassing signs posted along with signs saying violators will beprosecuted, and the people were still climbing through the fence." Council representsstudents'viewpoints The State College Council (SCC) is an attempt to organize and represent the needs, desires! and viewpoints of state college and university students. SCC is a private, non-profitorganization funded through $1,200 dues each member school pays. SCC explores alternate forms offunding, said Bruce Ayers, Associated Students president. Members of SCC are Eastern, Centraland Western Washington State Colleges, Washington State University and the University ofWashington. The board of directors consists of the AS presidents of the participating schools.Representation of students to state agencies and the legislature is a maior function of SCC. Thecouncil instigated a suit to establish the student right for legal council to represent them in disputes with the school. The suit is pending in the state supreme court. Students are now represented by thesame attorney as their school because both are state agencies and the same assistant attorney general is appointed for them. "What happens is a conflict of interest," Ayers said. Ayers said there hasbeen no particular problem that warranted attorney representation for Western students, but that theissue now faces Eastern. The flow of information between students is an important aspect of SCC,Ayers said. The ASUW solved structural problems with ideas drawn from other AS systems. Lastweekend SCC passed a resolution opposing collective bargaining. They felt it does not represent thestudents' best interests. Ayers attended with Ricki Bussanich, AS vice president for internal affairs.

In sum, I would sayMao's positive contribution was that of a symbol, first that of a purposeful Party worthy of replacing theNationalists, then that of a strong, unified China. On the negative side, Mao's egomaniacal attempts to be not only a symbol but the sole leader caused great suffering for the Chinese people. What about theeffects of Mao's death upon China's future? The instant experts and professional soothsayers arealready hard at work telling us what's going to happen, and this rash of speculation is bound to growduring the next six months or so. Much of what is being predicted â€” power struggles, civil unrest, thebreaking up of the Mao personality cult, and much else â€” lies well within the realm of possibility. I feelno urge to join this chorus, but I would like to say a few words about what I hope will happen in China.China's Future The very first thing that China needs is an immediate cooling off of the ideological fervorthat has been burning intensely for a decade. If the chief slogan has been "politics in command" for along time, I hope that it will be replaced by the cry "politics to the rear." Next, I would like to see a returnto something akin to the pragmatism of the 1950s that had led to modern China's greatest rise in livingstandards. The Chinese people who have worked and suffered so much deserve much better than thewretched material conditions in which they find themselves. Third, I wish that the Chinese people willsoon be given more freedom. I am not advocating the transplantation of Western-style individualism, afoolish endeavor under the best of circumstances, but rather the relatively modest freedoms of havingsome say in the choice of their professions and their residences, of traveling freely in their own countrywithout passports and checkpoints, and of speaking their own minds on all issues without fear ofreprisals. Finally, I hope for a leadership with the same aspirations. Unrealistic? Perhaps in the short run because one immediate obstacle must first be removed: the radicals and other hangers-on whom thedead tyrant had illegally placed in powerful positions during the last ten years of his life must be ousted. I see nothing that rules out such a change; on the contrary, pressures for a return to pragmatism hadbeen steadily mounting even before Mao's death. Moreover, with proper and stable management,China's material resources are sufficient to improve living conditions over a long period of time. Finally,and most importantly, the Chinese people have the skills and, if properly led, the dedication to repair thedamage caused by the Maoists and to forge ahead toward a richer spiritual and material life. LettersEducation: 'mental indigestion, academic diarrhea' Editor, Western Front: Education is like a food-eating contest. Your first two years is the attempt to swallow it, your second two years is yourattempt to digest it, and the day you graduate is when you win the plastic prize at the bottom of the boxâ€” the diploma. Like a food-eating contest, .the student tries to swallow as much knowledge aspossible in the shortest period. The result is mental indigestion and academic diarrhea. The "A" student at times is like a python unhinging his jaws so he can swallow the pig whole. Don't bother chewing it,that's for sissies and slow learners. Many "A" students fulfill Bob Dylan's prophecy that the "leader nownil be last." But after aL\ College is only for sincere seekers of higher knowledge. This, of course, isthe myth of the method. College has become a corporation for the promotion of its own products. Itsbest consumers are its best students. Understanding and insight are secondary when it comes tohigh achievement. The package has become more important Disappointed with 'insinuations' Editor,Western Front: Perhaps I'll just start out by asking you, Suki, if you actually believe what you print andread in the Western Front? Your recent barrage of slipshod insinuations and cheap shots at PaulOlscamp leave me cold. I am not going to offer any specific defense of President Olscamp; none iscurrently needed. I do, however, want to CBE dean makes 'categorical' denial Editor, Western Front: Iwould like to categorically deny that the College of Business and Economics is suffering from anynarrowing of skills, opinions and approaches. We have just this present year added numerous new staffmembers who represent a wide spectrum of current economic and business opinions. The College ofBusiness and Economics has every intention of presenting a 6road gauge, liberal arts, forward-lookingprogram in both business and economics. Robert P. Collier, Dean College of Business Economicsexpress my personal disappointment with your paper's style of editorial. I thought you had more goingfor you than this past explosion represents. Having been actively involved in the campus politicalscene for over four years, and having read the Front for over five years, I am constantly amazed at thesingular ability of the Front editors to spin lead from gold. Better luck next time. Chris Wright Senior,Industrial Psychology than the content. Colleges can teach you â€” a loaf of white bread will fill you upâ€” both are valuable but both are junk foods. Understanding requires time for contemplation.Contrastingly, education champions short-term memory and shorter imagination. More than half the time, the high achievement students receive "A's" for their ability to be unquestion-ingly manipulated. If true statistics could ever come out on what motivates higher grades, it would be sad testimony forhigher education. Albert Einstein, the accredited higher mind of the twentieth century, was turned off bymethods of machine learning. It was months before he could look a problem of physics in the face. Youmay ask yourself why perhaps the brightest man in the twentieth century was put off by a system ofeducation that claims excellence of pur- . pose â€” or is it mediocrity? Einstein's only problem was thathe possessed imagination, a word you won't find in most social science text books. Behaviorism isnothing new; it's the story of education in our western culture. Some of college's greatest proclaimedhumanists are in fact the greatest programmers of them all. My solution for this problem is to studyfor "C." It's a letter grade that not only means average, it also means normal. You can maintain a "C"average and then have enough time left over to read two or three other books or your own choosingâ€” if not books, then you have more time to drink beer and chase girls. To study just for high grades isto work for the system, not for yourself. Don't worry about the job market, they don't teach that here. .Richard Toth Movie program disliked Editor, Western Front: "As classified staff members of Westernand patrons of campus events, we feel concerned with the quality of films selected by the A.S.Program Commission for viewing on campus. Perhaps we are misled, but we feel the purpose of thefilm program is to show quality films of interest to the campus community which would be generallyunavailable elsewhere. Therefore we question whether or not selecting low grade films like "The TexasChainsaw Massacre" (also shown recently at the drive-in), is using student money to its best advantage. Granted, if the films on campus are intended for entertainment purposes only, then perhaps thepatronage of that segment of our society which delights in grotesquery, justifies the soliciting of thisfilm. If indeed the purpose is any other, then perhaps we should question the decisions that are beingmade. Carole Teshima and 20 others.

His job, which includes reporting of election returns, is also performed bya computer. "They have two sources," Stern said, "Me and the computer." The job involves studying theraw data from each election area as it comes in on election night. It is then compared to expectedreturns and Telexed to ABC headquarters in New York. This keeps the network informed as to how thepresidential race is going in Florida. Florida's center for this process is Miami, and the organization iscalled the News Election Service (NES). NES is nationwide, with centers in every state. The three majortelevision networks, as well as the UPI and AP wire services, will have representatives in Miami. "It'sinteresting, they send some sharp people down there," Stern said. One week before the election, Sternwill estimate how the race will go in Florida. This MARK STERN â€” On the election coverage trail inFlorida. estimate is based upon primary results, previous voting patterns and other collected information. This prediction will aid ABC in their coverage. There is also a great deal of prediction and calculationinvolved as the returns come in on election night. The human aspect is often more reliable than thecomputer in predicting the outcome of an election. "There have been times when the computerpredictions were wrong," Stern explained. In this year's Florida primary a computer said Carter would winover Wallace by a 38 to 25 per cent margin. The final talley was much closer. Florida figures to be one ofthe key states in the election. Stern is well aware of that fact, and he looks forward to the challenge. Hehas worked the Miami NES before, in the 1972 presidential election and 1974 congressional races. Healso knows Florida, having taught eight years at Florida Tech, in Orlando. Who does he see as thewinner in Florida? "Carter has hurt himself in rural Florida with his remarks in Playboy magazine," Sternsaid, "But it still looks like a Democratic state." Public transportation available for inexpensive trips byDAVE MILTENBERGER So you want to head south for the weekend to catch a concert with a few friends from home. Or maybe you want to see how the folks and the family are doing. Whatever the reason,you need mobility to get there and unless you have your own wheels or a good bud to loan you his, youmight look at what Bellingham transportation has to offer. The Greyhound Bus Lines, located at 1329 N.State St., is one of the best bets. Within easy walking distance of the campus, it offers nine daily runsfrom Bellingham to Seattle, and points between. There are nine runs from Seattle leaving at 90-minuteintervals to Bellingham, seven days a week and holidays. Most runs are express, which means the busstops at Mount Vernon, Burlington, Marysville and Everett before hitting Seattle. The milk runs are theones to fear. Local burgs such as Alger, Arlinton, Darrington and others are included in the run, addinganywhere from 45 minutes to one hour to the trip. The price: Well, go round trip for maximum savings.$4.35 for one-way, or $5.80 for round trip. According to Bob Melugin, terminal manager for Greyhound,the Friday afternoon buses down and the late Sunday afternoon buses back are the most congested.Amtrak, the government-owned passenger rail service is another alternative. The station is located atRoeder and D Streets, old town, about a 30-minute walk form the campus. One drawback to the trainroute is that only one departure occurs daily, at 8:33 a.m. The train stops at Mt. Vernon, Everett,Edmonds and the King Street station in Seattle. The return trip to Bellingham leaves Seattle at 6:15 p.m. and arrives at 8:45 p.m. If you plan to go to Seattle and spend a night or two, Amtrak will honor roundtrip ticket purchases for up to five days. The price is a little steeper than Greyhound at $5.75 one-wayand $8.75 round trip, but the ride is infinitely more scenic and it follows the coastline. It also has cafe and bar facilities on board that are expensive, but it adds a touch of class and comfort to the ride. HarborAirlines, located at the Bellingham Airport, offers five daily non-stop flights to Sea-Tac Airport. The flightsbegin at 6 a.m. each day, with three and one-half hour intervals between flights. Harbor charges $44 forround trip, and $22 for one-way. They offer a "Hustle-Bus" service that will take you to downtown Seattleat no extra charge, if you have a reserved flight. Harbor offers stand-by prices, but only on weekendflights. Stand-by rates are half price for either one-way or round trip, which makes it more feasiblefinancially, but you have no guarantee for passage. If your thumb is in good working order, hitching a ride is as good a bet as any. No long lines, no tickets and the freeway entrance ramp by the Bellingham Mall is just down the hill from Birnam Wood. Basic English soives comma confusion for students who need it Confused by commas? Anxious about apostrophes? Hung up on hyphens? It's back to basicEnglish, and that's not necessarily 101. "Competence and confidence in standard English usage" is tHe title of the course which promises back-to-basics English instruction taught by R.D. Brown. "If theydidn't get the basics in high school, this is a chance to get them in college," Brown said. The sixtyenrolled, from freshmen to graduate students, "seem to feel they need it." English 297a is taught by the Mastery technique, the entire class masters the material before continuing to a new subject. Thecourse is a pass/incomplete grading, to insure all students reach a minimum level. Brown seasonshis lectures with anecdotes, jokes and side comments, offers mnemonic clues and explains word origins for better understanding. "Would I lie to you? Look it up in the dictionary!" he demands, waving chalkand peering over Ben Franklin specs. "I don't know where I get these (exercise) sentences â€” don'tdraw any adverse inferences, either!" "Ideally, every course ought to be a composition course," he said."One term of English 101 is not enough." Freshman Janet Borgaart is taking the class as apreparation for 101.

Phillipe,19, has studied English and1 theater this quarter at Western. "My goal is to be able to translate aGerman text into English without making any mistakes in grammar," he said. "I don't really know howmuch progress I've made. "You only have one language, the one you speak in primary school. You can'tspeak one you learn after that like a native. I always thought English was easy to learn, even when Icame to America. But, there is still a great difference between you and me. I can hear my accent, but Ican't change it." Phillipe's mother tongue is French. In elementary school he learned German, which he considers his primary language. He had four years of English in high school before coming to theStates. Last winter Phillipe spent two months as a tourist in the United States. He covered the countryby Greyhound, visiting about 20 colleges and universities to decide where he wanted to study. "I went all over . . . to New York, Chicago, San Francisco . . . I decided Bellingham would be a good place tobegin. Everyone said Washington was a beautiful state. "It's not too crowded, it's quiet. People are lessconventional here than in New York. It's easy living here." After returning to Switzerland, Phillipe cameback to America last summer and studied English at Columbia University in New York, for two weeks.Then, he came to Western. "I think you can do your undergraduate work anywhere you want in America,because undergraduate work here is so limited. "There is no difference between the schools; you don'tget the good professors until you go to graduate school. They can help you broaden your vision, but youdo it mostly by yourself. co E o â€¢ J G O Q gt; gt; X) o â€¢ â€¢ - gt; o Â£ JEAN PHILLIPEWORMSER "Undergraduate work here is not interesting enough. College work in the United Statesshould be done in high school. In Europe, about 80 per cent of the students drop out of high schoolbecause it is so difficult. "For instance, there you don't have to have a college degree to enter law schoollike you do here. In Europe, your high school diploma proves your maturity. Students there grow up somuch faster, because they have to work harder." Phillipe found marked contrasts within United States.the Saga committee sets activities A group of five dorm students headed by Mary Ann Reed, VikingCommons dining hall manager comprises the Viking Commons Activities Committee which meets twice-monthly to plan activities and try to cater to students' needs. The committee's objective is to worktowards a better relationship between the Saga staff and residence halls. This is the first year such acommittee has been formed. The committee is currently setting up goals and plans for a weight-watching club. The group will soon start meeting once a week. Reed has planned for weight-watchersmembers to make calorie-count cards to put by the different foods served at Saga.

They are not interested inanything beyond their own community. Few people even read newspapers. In Europe, people are awareof what is going on. "I can't really blame them here. It's a wealthy state; people are secure. They can'tsee the misery, like people in Chicago can. But, somebody has to pay for that wealth." Phillipe said heis astonished at the distribution of wealth in the United States. "In America, you have the very rich andthe very poor, and a very strong middle class, where most people are. In Europe the middle class isweak, and it is more like an upper middle class and a lower middle class. "The poor here have less thanthe poor in Northern Europe. The state social system helps them more there; they have places to stay,medical care. Poor people here don't get as much help." Few Europeans are attracted to the UnitedStates, he said. A lot of Americans go to Europe, but Europeans do not come here. "There is no interestin America," he said. "America is very unpopular in Europe. They don't think there is much culture here;that the only 'culture' is materialism. "That's true; but now it's getting better. Americans are making a lotof efforts, especially since the awakening of the sixties. You can really see it everywhere." Because ofthe hostility and disinterest Europeans feel toward the United States, it is much easier for Europeans toget along in the United States than for Americans to go to Europe, he said. "Americans arehandicapped, too, because they are not required to learn a second language," he said. "English is arequirement there." "It is easy to live here. But, I will surely go back there to live. I think one should stayin his own environment. That is the only place he can feel at home. But, if he does not feel at homethere, it's not because of the place â€” it is him. "A different environment does not change who a personis." That was last week. Yesterday, Phillipe left for Europe.

Of the fivebanks in Bellingham that finance FISL, Bellingham National Bank and Washington Mutual Savings Bankare not making any new loans unless students previously had loans with them. Only one bank,Bellingham National, will loan to freshmen and sophomores, and then, only if their parents have anaccount. Under the FISL program all college students may borrow up to $2,500 per academic year (or atotal of $7,500 for all years) depending on availability of funds. Repayment begins nine months afterleaving school, but may be deferred if the student joins the military, Vista or Peace Corps. A low interest rate of seven per cent, defaulting by students and a slow reimbursement by the federal government fordefaulted loans make the FISL unattractive to banks. "A lot of people would not make payments ordefault on a loan," said Mark Muljat, loan officer at Northwestern Commercial Bank. "Getting repaid forclaims was not an easy chore," said Dave Jones, loan officer for Washington Mutual Savings Bank.Jones said there was a "terrible delinquent problem on repayments." All loan officers contacted agreedthe federal government was slow on repayment of a defaulted loan. Region 10 of the Department ofHealth, Education and Welfare (HEW) is in charge of 'All of the flakes who abused the program havehurt it for the people who really need it' repaying area banks for defaulted loans. Fourteen and one halfper cent of the FISL loans were not repaid last fiscal year (July 1, 1975-June 30, 1976), according toHEW records. Region 10 includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. Jess Lockyer, director ofguaranteed student loan program for the region said banks may have experienced delays in the past, but"I don't believe they are experiencing any delays now. The whole program is now on a nation-widecomputer system which does speed up payments. Lockyer added that because 14.5 per cent of thestudents have not started payment of their loans does not mean they will not repay them in the future.the older generation has a lot of stuffy ideas... cigarette smoking is one! American Cancer SocietyBecause of tighter bank regulations and reduction of new loans to students, many people, including localbank loan officers, are unclear as to whether their bank is phasing out the program. Several years agoWashington Mutual Savings Bank was the largest student loan lender in the state and ranked fifteenth inthe nation. In January of 1974, Washingon Mutual Savings Bank had $22 million invested in the studentloan program in Washington and 19,000 borrowers. Washington Mutual has lent approximatglyjjl 'Until Ican get students to pay them (loans) back, we're not making them any more.' million to students atWestern since the FISL Program began in 1969. But the bank has not been making student loans forthe past two and one half years unless a student had a previous loan. "We just got too heavy," saidRobert Schoos, assistant vice president of Washington Mutual Savings in Seattle who is in charge ofinstallment loans. "We decided in the beginning of that year (1974) not to take on new borrowers, but we had a responsibility to our old borrowers," Schoos said. "We're considering going back into theprogram," Schoos said, but he did not expect to know for sure until January. Federal laws have changedand they are awaiting interpretation. If Washington Mutual re-enters the program, Schoos said stricterrequirements for academic achievement would be imposed. Schoos gave examples of students borrowing $6,000 to $7,000 over a four year period and only accumulating 10 credits. Students would register for a full load at the beginning of a quarter and stay in school until they were sure that it was confirmed theywere attending classes. Then they would drop their classes only to repeat the process for four years."All of the flakes who abused the program have hurt it for the people who really need it," Schoos said. In1972, Washington Mutual made $11,000 in loans to freshmen and 52 per cent of them dropped out.Northwestern Commercial Bank has made only two student loans this year and does not expect to bemaking them again for another two years, according to Muljat, because they have lent more money thanwas budgeted for the program. "Until I can get students to pay them back, we're not making themanymore," Muljat said. He advises new students seeking a loan to apply in their hometown where theirparents BIRKENSTOCK FOOTPRINTS FEEL SO GOOD Birkenstock Footprints are light and gentle onyour feet.

The local chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis ResearchFoundation is currently in the midst of fund raising and will receive $1 for every new car test driven atChuck McCord Chevrolet. The test drive offer is valid when the 1977 models arrive in October. Cysticfibrosis (CF) is the second greatest killer of children. "The lung just gets tired and then they die," JanAdams, local cystic fibrosis chapter head said last week. Children with CF spend their lives coughingup mucous, using inhalers and sleeping in mist tents. Up to 44 pills a day are taken by some cysticfibrosis patients, according to the National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation. Those afflictedwith CF are susceptible to additional lung damaging diseases. Patients receive free treatment atclinics, but between $5,000 and $12,000 is spent by the individual for medication and enzymes. Thereis no cure for CF, but recent genetic testing may make it possible to detect gene carriers and alert them to the possibilities of having a child with cystic fibrosis. One person in 20 carries a recessive gene ofCF, and the disease occurs about once in every 1,500 births, when both parents have the recessivegene. The National Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation (NCFRF) raises money to help cover the costs of research and treatment. The local chapter of NCFRF is temporarily located at 1262 North State St.Funds raised in Bellingham are sent to treatment centers in Spokane and Seattle and are used forfellowships and research grants at the University of Washington.

"There is a lot of potential, butfew know Western View exists," commented News Director Sue Meyers. "Western View," a weeklynews program with a magazine- type format, involves students interested in technology, graphics,video-taping, photography, reporting, sound, producing and directing. Programs are taped"Wednesday afternoons at Miller Hall and aired at 6 p.m. One problem facing the crew of the "View"is funding. "The 'Western View' has no regular budget source as it doesn't belong to any onedepartment," Meyers explained. The "View" receives its funds through donations, mainly from thejournalism and speech departments. Because the "View" is not in any department, it "lacks cohe-siveness that is needed," Meyers said. Most staff members enter the "View" through the journalism,speech or technology departments. Prerequisites for the "View" vary, depending on whichdepartment the staff member is approaching from. The "View" provides the opportunity for studentsto acquire experience in any of the steps taken to put together a television program.

Two years in the making, this neatly packaged, double recordset is Wonder's attempt to produce a musical message by providing insight into his personal world. Theopening song, "Love's in Need of Love Today," seems to suggest the album is tied together in itsmessage. In it Stevie sings, "What I'm about to say could mean the world's disaster, could change yourjoy and laughter to tears and pain." However, by the third song, "Village Ghetto Land," it is evident thealbum must be examined as a collection of individual songs. With his music, Wonder can be passionate, spiritual, philosophical or quizzical, and he uses all these qualities here. "I Wish," "Ordinary Pain" and"Isn't She Lovely" are love songs. "Have a Talk With God" and "Pastime Paradise" are songs about thesupernatural; "Village Ghetto Land" and "Black Man" are song about racial injustices. Each song has itsown concept and musical directions. That which separates Stevie Wonder from other performers is hisability to perceive and musically capture a universal experience. He accomplishes this in "Black Man"when he sings, "We all must be given the liberty that we defend, for with justice, history will repeatagain." He puts everything together on "As." That song is the high point of the album, and it exhibitsevery quality which makes Wonder a joy to hear. It begins with a moderate pace, but r tbyDONCREERY Canada's second most popular folk singer, Valdy, will begin his first United Statestour at 8 p.m. Oct. 13, in the Music Auditorium. He will be backed by the Hometown Band. In the lastfour years Valdy has released four albums in Canada, which have sold over 150,000 copies. GordonLight-foot is the only folk singer who has surpassed Valdy in Canada's record sales. Valdy has alsohad several hit singles and has won numerous awards. He is one of the few Canadian folk singers tohave performed at the International Song Festival in Sopot, Poland. He has toured Canada nine times.[cont. onpg. 12] Banjo strummer featured at VU Mike Marker, guitar and banjo player, will be thisweek's Mama Sunday's guest artist. A native of Corvallis, Ore. Marker plans an old slowly builds fasterby using a number of instruments and background vocals. Stevie shapes the song with his voice andkeyboard playing. When he suddenly changes vocal styles, the song soars off in a frenzy. Wonder, in an effort to make up for his two-year recording absence, has packaged 21 songs and some of the materialis mediocre. However, too much of Stevie Wonder is always better than too little. Technically, Wonder is a master stylist who blends jazz, blues, reggae, spirituals and even rock into his compositions. He maywell be the most important musical force of the seventies. Stevie Wonder is an artist who has constantly tried to achieve a vital and exciting musical experience. "Songs in the Key of Love" is a continuing stepin that direction. THE EA1~I2E* 1421 n. State, Bellingham 734 â€¢ 4955 " WHITE SLAVERY IN N.

Valdy nurtures the withered "back to nature" idealism that was prevalentamong what, for lack of a fresher term, must be called "the Woodstock Generation." . Had Valdybeen around ten years ago, it would be easy to imagine him headlining every rock festival in the land,alongside Arlo Guthrie and Country Joe. Valdy's latest album "Valdy and the Hometown Band" leads one to believe the country life still thrives in Canada. The Woodstock ideals are handled with varyingdegrees of success on his newest record. When the breakdown of his ideals are examined as in"Blister," Valdy is very moving: "Just another freak took to falling in stride." However, when he startsrunning down the evils of city life as in "Old Home Place," one can't help thinking this has all been saidbefore. It has, and at times Valdy seems nothing more than a very talented nostalgia act, sort of asixties Sha Na Na. Often Valdy's songs border on Christmas card sentimentality. This is especiallyannoying in his praise of Canadian salt-of-the-earth types (miners, farmers, sailors, etc.). At times thissentiment works well as in "Me and the Martin Growing Old," a charming ode to Valdy's guitar: "It ain'this fault I've got four thumbs" instead of two." Despite the occasional lyrical. weaknesses, "Valdy andthe Hometowm Band" contains a lot of great music. Valdy's style is comparable to Gordon Light-foot's,but he also resembles Stephen Stills at times. Valdy has a fine sense for melody and the HometownBand provides full sound which is lacking in a great deal of instrumentally sparse folk music.Appreciation of Valdy depends less on his ability than on the individual listener's taste.

They took ragtimeto its peak, invented jazz and gave the first impetus to rock 'n' roll. White composers, from StephenFoster and Harold Arlen to Neil Diamond and Laura Nyro, have taken their inspiration from black idioms.It is not generally known that black composers have made important contributions to "classical" musicas well. William Grant Still William Grant Still was born in Mississippi of mixed black and NativeAmerican descent. His father died when he was quite young and the family relocated in Little Rock, Ark. It was there, through his grandmother, that Still was first introduced to the wealth of black folksongs andspirituals he later would incorporate in his music. When his mother remarried, Still's musical horizonwas broadened further. His stepfather was an avid collector of opera recordings. Pasco's Indian art study shows at local museum Despite this strong musical background, when Still entered WilberforceUniversity it was with intentions of becoming a doctor. Music proved to be too strong an influence. Withina year, Still had founded a string quartet, in which he played violin. He had begun to study oboe, clarinet, piccolo and saxophone. Later he studied at Oberlin and the New England Conservatories, under GeorgeWhitefield Chadwick. Still did not limit his experience to academic exercise. Among other things, heplayed oboe in Eubie Blake's jazz orchestra, wrote arrangements for W.C. Handy (composer of "St.Louis Blues") and Paul Whiteman, and produced the "Deep River Hour" of black folk music over WOR-radio in New York City. In 1923, Edgard Varese, the revered leader of French avant-garde music, soughta black pupil to whom he could teach his advanced composition methods. Varese chose Still, whostudied with him for two years. Still really never took to the new, dissonant idioms, and his musicincreasingly turned to his ethnic roots for inspiration. Since then, Still always has sought to express theblack experience in his music. It is strongly Romantic and tonal music, and was being labeled"reactionary" by modern critics. But it speaks in a very individual style that few other composers (most of them also black) have attempted. Yet, Still has never quoted a black folk melody directly. He has always relied on his own powers of melodic invention, which easily rival Tchaikovsky's. Still's career has always been one of firsts: the first black to have a work performed by a major orchestra ("Afro-AmericanSymphony" by the Rochester Philharmonic, 1931); first black to conduct a major orchestra (Los AngelesPhilharmonic, 1936); first black to have an opera produced by a major company ("Troubled Island" byNew York City Opera, 1949) and first black to conduct an orchestra in the South (New OrleansSymphony, 1955). Still has received several awards, including two Guggenheim Fellowships. He has lived in Los Angeles for many years, where he comtinues to compose and take an occasional teachingassignment. Ulysses Kay Ulysses Kay was born in Tucson, Ariz., at that time a fairly small frontiercommunity. His father was a rugged individualist who was, among other things, a jockey, cowboy andbarber. His father may have been tough, but he certainly was not crude. Ulysses' older brother playedthe violin and his older sister was given piano lessons. Both instruments, plus the saxophone, werehanded down when Ulysses came of age. Kay has said the greatest influence on his musicaldevelopment came from trips to Chicago to visit his uncle, the legendary jazz trumpeter King Oliver. Kayreceived much advice from Oliver, not the least of which was to study composition and harmony, insteadof starting out to be a jazz trumpeter. Kay graduated from the University of Arizona in 1938 and went onfor his master's in music at the Eastman School, where he studied with Howard Hanson. Later he studied with Paul Hindemith, the German Gebrauchsmusik (literally, music for practical use) composer.During World War II, Kay served in the U.S. Navy Band, where he added flute and piccolo to his list ofinstruments. Unlike Still. Kay has made no special musical reference to his black heritage. Rather, he isa noo-classicist with a distinct preference for strict forms such as variations, symphonies and dancesuites. Ho has a strong gift for melody and counterpoint and his music is always positive and joyful intone. Since 1953, Kay has been an editorial advisor for Broadcast Music, Inc. In 1968. he joined thefaculty of Lehmann College in New York City, where he still teaches and continues to compose. byKAREN HURD You can see the culmination of one man's 25-year study of Northwest Indian art in theRotunda Room of the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. The show is "In the Northwest Style" andthe man is Duane Pasco, a well known regional sculptor, who has had numerous public and privatecommissions throughout the United States, including works at the Sea-Tac Airport. Pasco's paintingsand carvings recognize the individuality of such coastal tribes as the Tsimshian, Tlingit and Haida. He has used cedar and alder wood, fur, horse hair, abalone and sheep skin to produce both decorative andfunctional pieces. In the round room, a huge red and black "Button Blanket with Copper" hanging isimmediately obvious. Under it sits a painted cedar bench with an ominous-looking eagle's headcarved into its back. The room is filled with masks, bowls and carved and painted wooden panels. Thenatural materials and mythological symbols make Pasco's works appear lifelike. Abalone eyes starefrom a pale moon-shaped mask, and the human quality of the horse hair lends an eerieness to themasks. The subject matter and presentation are not new and not especially exciting. Yet for whatPasco has chosen to do, he has done a good job. The show is a must for those intrigued by NativeAmerican art. "In the Northwest Style" shows through Nov. 7 at the museum, 121 Prospect St. Awardwinner Stafford to present poetry William E.

Upon meeting Zorn dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, one mighttake him for any college guy. Zorn is a very laid back 23-year-old individual-ppillt "I was the type of guywho was the baby. No one liked me and I used to wear a butch haircut." ist and a promising new talent in the NFL. A native of Artesia, Calif., (just west of-Disneyland Zorn remembers "getting beat up and notbeing allowed to play sports" with the other kids. "I was the type of guy who was the baby. No one likedme and I used to wear a "butch" haircut," Zorn reminisced. Zorn wasn't really interested in playingfootball until his senior year of high school. Nobody had talked to Zorn about a scholarship to play at afour year school. "I planned on trying out for the Cerritos Junior College team. I made it but I was only the backup quarterback," he said. After two years at Cerritos, he was offered only one scholarship, toCalifornia Polytechnic State University at Pomona. During Zorn's senior year at Cal-Poly, he talked toevery scout there was in the world. "A few teams told me they were going to be looking at me," Zornsaid. Finally Dallas signed him as a free agent. At that time the Cowboys had two injured running backs, so they made room for Preston Pearson by cutting Zorn. Zorn isn't bitter about the move. "Sure it wasdisappointing," Zorn said, "But I made the Cowboys, and that is tough to do because they are a veteran-oriented club." Asked whether EJallas Coach Tom Landry's philosophies and style of football are unique, Zorn replied, "He is just a superior person, a different type of coach. You don't even have to look at himand he commands respect. After meeting Landry most people would say, 'Wow, what a fine dude.' "Zorn later had a chance to try out for the Los Angeles Rams and a few other teams, but he choseSeattle. "It was a good opportunity and I prayed about it," recalled Zorn. He had never been in theSeattle area, and was a little worried when he 5P Bellingham Bicycle Sports Discount CenterHeadquarters for Tiger Araya Eagle Bicycles Skateboards (300 in stock) Parts Service next toClark's Thrfftway 2414 James Mastercharge, BankAmericard welcome.

Let it be known, though, that Seahawkofficials didn't need to twist his arm. The Seahawks first notified Zorn they wanted him in December,1975. They flew me up here and painted the town red for me," he said. "We went up the Space Needleand had dinner, but the food was too rich for my stomach. I prefer hamburger stands." Comparning his life as a college quarterback with pro play, Zorn said, "Speed, size of players and complexity of offensesand defenses are the main differences I've found. "Being a veteran means everything in this league, aswell as winning the Super Bowl.

Time and time again Iask myself the reasons for my predawn activity and, sure as the sun rises, my wonderings are soonanswered. I am a jogger, a habitual part-time athlete dedicated to my goal of getting my "bod in shape"and keeping it there. My motivations are varied and have been mounting for a long time. For instance,being blue in the face after climbing three flights of stairs or being sorely winded and dizzy-headed aftera last minute dash for a class across campus. Likewise, an excess of Monday Night Football (as wellas all day Saturday and Sunday) has caused no small amount of laidback laziness and a few too manybeers in and around the belly. I concluded that now is the time to dawn a new day, turn over anoverweight new leaf and get the lead out. I began my physical renewal early in September with theobjective to carry on through the school year and, hopefully indefinitely beyond that. In a casual butsomewhat careful manner I prescribed a daily routine for myself; brief in time but surely valuable inresults. It is most difficult to find the rationale for leaving a warm, cozy waterbed to drag myself out intothe cold windy world of outdoors at 6 a.m. It does not seem logical or sane but I do it with only minorhesitations. I push myself through a few dozen jumping jacks, several half-hearted push-ups and a quicksession of sit-ups. The next few minutes are spent stretching hamstrings, rectus femoris, and gastrocnemius while resting on my gluteus maximus. Then it is on with the smelly old sweatshirt, into my tread-bare Adidas and off I into the wild blue (black) yonder. On some mornings my first view is the reddish-pink sunlight etched on the sky creepinp above Mt. Baker. This justifies my early schedule. But mostother mornings, when the fog is thicker than overcooked oatmeal, a gloomy, almost eerie feeling hangsover the land only to be accented by the muffled bellowing of a distant foghorn. 7 think of myself as thePied Piper of Bellingham when several dogs at a time join the march/ I must admit it takes a certainsense of courage to run out into the misty grey abyss, but once I get rolling and loosened UD, everythingis fine. The most important element of my running getting "in the groove" as soon as possible. Thegroove consists of a very steady movement, a rhythmic swing of the arms, controlled breathing andmental concentration. A good groove run can be invigorating, satisfying and somewhat effortless,however, some usual distractions along the way obstruct the groove but add fun and color to myotherwise straightforward journey. The gang of cocky roosters which live up the road are the first to greetme as I cruise by. The neighborhood is filled with dogs and some of them run out to match my pace or to check out the aroma of my sweat pants (one sniff is definitely enough). I think of myself as the PiedPiper of Bellingham when several dogs at a time join the march. The canines who cannot join me justhowl from the backyards. I never can decide if they are laughing, saying hello or simply announcing a ^ -^ i . the health nut passing through the neighborhood. Traffic is busy, including many of those hugelogging trucks which nearly blow me over with the wind blast and then choke me with the trailing dieselexhaust. As the cars pass I can see the drivers hunched over the steering wheels and armed withcigarettes and coffee cups on their way to work. They give me smiles or frowns. Some wave, someextend hand obscenities and others just ignore me. Some jokers like to play a fast game of "chicken"with me and on one such occasion a last second dive into the ditch prevented an almost certain head-on, that is, my head on the pavement. As I near the homestretch of my two-and-a-half mile course I often let fantasies of competition set in, sparked by memories of my high school cross country days. The finishline is in sight, the tension of the roaring crowd mounts, the girls are screaming, the band is playing andI'm sprinting my butt off. In a flash of glory I break the tape, the victor soon to be alone in silent adulation: My breathing and heart rate slowly return to normal and I walk around the driveway to recover myself.Although tired, I actually feel vivacious and fully initiated into the new day. I have completely forgottenwhy I put myself through this physical labor because the answers and reasons are now evident. Thisjogging business gets me promptly out of the sack and gives me a flying start on my day. After a hotshower and breakfast, I feel great. I know ten flights of stairs could not phase me now. As I merrily goabout my day, the thoughts of jogging lie dormant in the back of my mind. In fact, I probably will not think about it until early the next morning, when once again, I will momentarily entertain the thought ofsleeping until noon and letting the whole world jog on by. , â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ * â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ * *â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ * * 8-BALL TOURNAMENT Oct. 9â€” 10 am (Double Elimination) VikingUnion Grotto $65 First Place* Pay first 3 places First 32 paid entries (Fee due by 10 am Oct. 9) HalfPrice Pool Hours 3-7 pm Daily % ased on full field * * gt; * * * * * * * * * * * * * ***Â¥Â¥*Â¥***^^******* ML Baker Ski School Accepting Applications For Ski Instructors Fee Requiredcall or write: George Savage 5695 Mt.BakerHighway 592-2350 Deming Wash there's lots of living and loving ahead Why c p t short?

Oregon Tech is 1-2 overall and 0-1 in conference action following theloss to Southern Oregon. The Owls defeated Pacific University 16-6 and lost 20-0 to San FranciscoState. Owl coach Neil Garrett is trying to rebuild the football program at the Klamath Falls, Ore. schoolafter finishing in last place a year ago. The offense is under the direction of quarterback John Mathis. On the ground his top threat is fullback Kelvin Klink, while wide receiver Dale Hoy is his main target through the air. Tech's tough defense is led by 6-6, 255-pound middle guard Dean Schwartz. Western hasplayed Oregon Tech six times and holds a 4-2 series edge.

An exquisite artist in all her appearances, not only exquisite but greatly popular, and there ,never was a nartist meriting popularity more than she," said Jldward Moore, of the Chicago Dally Tribune. Takes Lead in Opera Miss Dux is of Polish nationality and began to sing as a child. After a few years of study she made her operatic debut in Germany, after which she was leading soprano with almost all of the great opera houses of the world. She sang leading roles at La Scala, in Milan, and made her debut at the Royal Opera, in Berlin, with Enrico Caruso, singing "Mimi" to his role of "Rodolfo." Miss Dux sang at Covent Garden, London, and before her first American visit she sang at the Royal Operas in Stockholm and Copenhagen, where she again won favor with her audience. Her triumphs here with the Chicago Civic Opera Company were equalled by her success in recital and she proved herself supreme in her various Ameri-the evening*-our evening Musical can tours.
