These were two of a number of discouraging remarks indirectly aimed and hurled at this column. We realize that our expression of ideas is not appealing to ludicrous or absurdly incongruous persons. We also realize that whimsicality and comicality are sadly lacking. But we don't know how to remedy this situation; therefore we are leaving this problem to you, our beloved readers. For the best letter of five words or less we are offering a winning prize of a second-hand coffin and a jar of peanut butter. Let's have those letters! . . . V V ELECTION . . . Elections are coming! This fact alone should arouse your civic interest, bring to life your sense of duty, and curdle your protoplasm. Are you curdling? Have you any old votes? Well then, use them. Why can't the student body of WWC (that Bellingham college) turn out 100% in this next election and really rattle that poll tabulator? (Don't answer that question.) Step behind the curtain and pull that lever. It's fun! V V PRATTLE . . . A bunch of foolish people gather around the registrar's office every mid-quarter and actually wait in line for deficiency slips. . . . Men— those of you who are really men— throw away, or at least lay aside, your razor for ten days. The beard-growing contest starts today so let that fuzz start cropping. . . . First signs of remodeling of the building can be seen on the second floor near the Collegian office. They are installing a new drinking fountain. This one is expected to give water!

The assembly will be patterned after the magazine LIFE. The various features of LIFE, including, Speaking of Pictures, Pictures to the Editor, Life Goes to a Party, etc., will all play a part in making up the assembly schedule. Helen Lindstrom,. assembly chairman, issued an urgent call to all talented people. "This year's assembly needs your help. We really need lots of entertainment and without the cooperation of all the houses and the people with talent, we will be severely handicapped," she said. FUN FOR EVERYONE Sports program for the play day, subject to change without notice, is as follows: From 10:15 to 12:15, a series of comedy and novelty relays will be held. 12:15 seems to be the opportune time for the PIE-EATING-CONTEST followed immediately by Lunch at 12:30. After the noon meal some unstrenuous contests will be held, including the BOYFRIEND- CALLING contest, and a SHOE-KICKING contest. For the faculty, a BABY-BOTTLE-FILLING contest, and for anyone who cares to enter, a PUT-OUT-THE-CAT- WIND-THE-CLOCK-LEAVE-NOTE- FOR-MILKMAN. contest. WATER SPORTS ON TAP At 2:30, the boatraces will begin. Races for both men and women will be scheduled. The swimming races will begin at 3:00. According to the committee, the races this year will be shorter, less numerous, less tiresome. A free-style race for men and women and a relay race will complete the program. Women's Election Won By Mayhew Melba Mayhew was elected president of WAA for next year at the regular meeting of the organization last Wednesday. Lillian Dean was elected vice president and Charlotte Frank, secretary. Barbara Beyer was chosen treasurer; Mildred Twedt, social chairman, and Dorothy Hubert, general sports manager. Others running for the offices were Maxine Balch, for president; Audrene Feldt, vice president, and Vivian Benson, secretary, who lost by a very close margin. Marie Eas-ley was defeated for treasurer, Shirley Shannon was eliminated as social chairman, and Prances Neevel was defeated for general sports manager. Norse Finish Plans For Kulshan Hike Plans for the Norsemen's mixed hike to Kulshan cabin, to be held Saturday and Sunday, May 11 and 12, are rapidly nearmg completion. Hikers will be accompanied by Miss Virginia Hawke, Loye A. McGee, C. Appleton Fisher, and Chet Ullin. Leaving from Bellingham early Saturday morning, the group will arrive at the cabin in the late afternoon. Sunday, skiers will ski, hikers will hike, and loafers will loaf. The trip will wind up at Glacier late Sunday afternoon. The cost of the trip will not exceed $2.00, including transportation. Those participating will not be required to pack anything except their personal effects, skis, extra socks, pajamas, etc. BARNACLES HOLD OPEN POOL Sponsored by the Blue Barnacles, a swimming meet for all women students will be held May 13 in the college pool. Group races, relays, and various games will feature the event. Beginners as well as more advanced swimmers are urged, to attend, as there will be events for both.

Varied Activities •, The local Kiwanis club, of which Don Bushell and Dr. Kuder alio are members, has been active in the extension of public service. It has been instrumental in putting tables in, and beautifying Larrabee state part The organization shares with the Y's Mens club the provision and conduct of a boy's camp for under-privileged children at Baker lake. It also has done much in the sponsoring of vocational guidance in the local high school, and was the impelling force -behind the placing of street sighs throughout the city.

Chalk up one death for propaganda in this fool's battle for European power. And footnote the tragedy simply, fratracide. In Huntington, Virginia last week, the Morrison brothers listened, as do millions, to the flow of contradicting war flashes. In five minutes they were engaged in a healthy argument as to the relative strength of foreign war machines. In five more minutes there was a heartsick propaganda-mad American staring at the figure of his dead brother. In five more minutes the Huntington jail held a man indicted for murder of one of his own blood. In 1917 it was the newspapers that were the deadly carriers of the propaganda pest that ultimately called the American lads to arms and placed thousands in Flanders fields. In 1940 radios are blaring forth the still blatant bragging of warring nations. Chalk up one American death known to be the outcome of this latest senseless battle. But for God's sake, stop there. It'll Be A Close Shave We, the beardless legion of the Collegian, have an edge (not on a razor because we have none~) on fellow competitors in the present fuzz frolic. CAMPUS DAY heads have set today as the official starting point for their beady blitzkreig. Yet our Collegian sideburns have been fermenting under the guise of healthy complexions for weeks past. Jensen had belter place an item on his budget for hair-remover. We'll be darned if we'll bother a barber. Co-op Plan Sounds Good At least a projected plan for definite improvement of the co-op situation has been given. Deepest consideration of this proposed change will not be amiss. In co-op surveys conductd throughout the Pacific coast it has been found that the majority of the colleges have bookstores that avail students of a satisfactory rebate privilege. The present condition of the co-op proves the inadequacy of the present system to function properly. Some provisions must be made so that students may have rebate conditions and hence have at their disposal lower prices than can be obtained from private concerns. If adopted only as a trial measure for the ensuing four quarters, the newer plan will undoubtedly px*ove its merit. Exert Your Lever-age And Vote With five student officers to ballot upon and one important amendment to be decided, college students should be common occurrences about the voting machines next Wednesday. Every possible means of exhortation has been utilized with the exception of individual lead ropes in an endeavor to get students to vote. The six points of question in this important spring ballot should be suitable bait. anarcchniti e . . ah boss am i disgusted you know im new in this school and i didnt know anything about the rules -well Saturday night mehitable took me ix gt; the aws informal and did we have fun exclamation point well the dance was over and •we were out at a place called twin gables and we just about got there and danced one half of one dance and ate a hamburger when mehitable up and tells me that she " has to be in at one oclock and would i please take her htome i did boss but i wasnt happy about it on the way she explained to me about the rules and stuff say boss who made them up for being a progressive school wwc sure has some mighty backward rules boss dont you think so mehitable and i think that girls in organized houses and "in the dorm ought to be given a two oclock s p a t least twice a quarter do you agree with me boss oh you dont care huh you go with a town girl huh well of course you have the advantage there , Sharp Flatter By Leroy Holcomb Splinterbugs "Splinterbugs' dancing around on their naked feet to the shush-shush of the conga is the latest craze in America's No. 1 winter resorts at Miami. These are not another bunch of jitterbugs, but are society people and thrill-seekers. A serious shortage of "splinter proof" floors in other parts of the country will keep most folks from sliding their dogs .across the planks. The idea was brought here by Cuban musicians; it has become so popular that most of the hot spots are now never without a conga-rhumba band. If WWC-ers should happen to take up this new dance they probably will end up with more wood in their feet than on the floor. ,V-"V Jazz Versus Longhair Ozzie Nelson thinks that dahce band musicians are better musicians than those who play with symphony or other "classical" combinations. "Benny Goodman or Tommy Dorsey could play in any symphony in the land," Ozzie declared, "and I think at least four of my own men are proficient enough to do the same thing. But suppose the men from the symphonies tried to take the places of the men in the dance bands? Well—that just wouldn't work." V V Ad Libbing Did you know that our modern staff of five lines was adopted about 1650. . . . Among the best sheet music sellers of the past month are: "In An Old Dutch Garden," "Indian Summer," and "When You Wish Upon a Star." .„. .

But the first to leave, a great king rattler, was already at the foot of theslope searching through an old rabbit burrow for o possible desert rodent or some form of warm-blooded life with which to satiate his great hunger. He searched successfully, for at the hole's end he found a a^rt xhymunk, frozen with terror. The strike of the $reat rattlerwas but a blur, the fangs entered the.small body «t its middle the deadly poison injected, and the flat triangular head returned again the s shaped striking coil of the snake, Two jninutes later there was death in the burrow, and the King began his meal. Three months elapsed, and the drought of midsummer had robbed the dry hillsides of life,, the .life that meant sustinence to the great king rattler lying in the shade.-of a huge boulder, his six sinuous feet thrown into loose coils about the dried stalk of a yucca plant; his narrow Jidless eyes watched constantly the lower slope. He had not eaten in four weeks and hunger whetted his temper, already on edge from the loosening of his skin. • _ , , , . . . , . - , .. \'~.". Three days later there cdme to the hillside another hunger-wracked inhabitant of the desert, a huge severr-foot bullsnake. . ---»'•- _i L ^ * *L As the cool of evening settled upon the desert tTie great snakes encountered each other at the fresh burrow of a small prairie mouse. Angered by the sight of the intruder the king rattler sounded his ominous warning, and threw his body into tight spiral coils. But the bullsnake was not to be frightened off with a lightning-like move he closed with the king, and caught him in his coils in the manner of the constrictor. Twice the rattler struck and each time his head snapped back instantly from the strike, but the third time the ugly head held for a moment then wrenched free from a position about ten inches down the body of the bull snake. A few minutes later the rattler unwound himself from the convulsive coils of the dead constrictor, and glided away into the night. \ .'"',. j .. . L The next morning the man came. He observed the dead bullsnake, and realized that it was the work of some snake still greater than the giant at his feet. His footsteps carried him south, and he was careful where he put his feet, for to be struck by a snake here, miles from the nearest ranch, would mean certain death. The man walked rapidly for he was impatient to be away from the vicinity of the battle, he knew that somewhere near lurked another huge inhabitant of the desert. • ? • - . It was as he stepped across a small crack in the ground, opened by the drought and heat, that the man heard the ominous, dry buzzing of a rattler, and, at the same time felt the impact of the King s strike upon his bare flesh, for the rattler, lying below him had struck inside the pantleg. Standing, riveted to the spot the man was again struck by the great snake. Now he realized what had happened, he understood that the most feared thing of the desert traveller had occurred, he had become the victim of the deadliest snake of the desert. ... . . • » \ With the thought of the poison coursing through his blood to the nerve centers, where the virulent toxin would take the toll of death in a horrible manner, the image of his body wrenched by muscle-teariwnigth c othnevsuel sitohnosu, gohft st hgeo afedwin gm ohmime notns othf ei nmdeasnc rtiubranbelde agnodn yra jnu sitn btehfeo rde irtehcet iowno rkof ofth teh en epaoriseosnt hwaabsi tdaotinoen, ond help. The vision of death, alone, on the desert drove the man on. He ran wildly in the intense heat, unheedful of stones and cactus thorns; he fell only to rise again and stagger on—soon he fell again— and did not rise. made A prospector found the man the next day, brought in the dreadful burden, and the country doctor i his examination. "Over-exertion, heart failure," was all he said. For no one was there to tell him that the horseshoe shaped scratches on the man's leg were from a snake; nor was there any onelo tell of a battle of the desert in which one huge reptiledied not by the poison of its enemy, for the bullsnake is immune to the rattlers strike, but by the two hypodermic fangs which remained imbedded in its heart, torn out by the roots from the mouth of the g reat rattler. , _• Philosophizing'; - About^LiSvei,^ ':.

The iHMJkstore must be put on a paying basis or suspend operations. The book- / store furnishes you with a service that no other store in Beilingham will provide, that of furnishing textbooks to college students. Without this service much time would be wasted every quarter in obtaining the books so necessary-to your class work. Because of some adverse criticism and general misunderstanding the. stock of the Co-op is being -depleted at a rapid rate. If this continues it will soon be necessary, to close the doors of the bookstore and resort to other means of obtaining books. The text took business is not enough to keep the store going. It is necessary that the store sell other commodities. Your store handles all the necessary school supplies at a cost to you no greater than that charged by the chain stores and other stationery stores in town, yet some have consistently bought these things off the campus. Perhaps it is poor advertising out I feel certain that it is the willingness of our students who will be most affected by the failure of the bookstore to accept gossip unquestioningly rather than find out the truth. The manager of the bookstore can sell you anything needed for school work at a price which will compare favorably with those offered elsewhere. The feeliflg that the price offered for second-hand textbooks is too low may, be justified but this could be righted by a 100 per cent student patronage in the other lines carried by the store. Now is the time for action! Don't wait until the Co-op is forced to close its doors. When you need paper, pencils, pens, or any of the various other items carried by the bookstore compare the prices. By patronage today you may help yourself tomorrow. See the Co-op first. AL MUNKRES, President of Associated Students. CO-OP HISTORY A VARIED ONE In 1903, during the administration of Dr. Mathes, the city merchants did not see fit to continue supplying text books for what was then the Normal school and allowing professors to change texts at will. Many students did. not care to go off the campus to buy their books; thus, a group of young people formed an organization and pooled their book orders. They left their dividends in the pool and the embryonic era of what is now the Co-op came into being. Student Manager With the ever-increasing magnanimity of the organization,' came the necessity of an overseer. A student, Wilson, was the first to help in the) management of the growing concern. In 1912, Lambert Craver was given the tutorship of the Co-op, and in 1916, C. C. Baughman, who was the first straight-time manager, took over the reins. Gym Suits Big Item Those were the good old days, when every student had to buy his own gym suit, shoes and all athletic equipment at the Co-op. With the elimination of these items, the management of the store became a routine problem of keeping the merchandise needed. However, since the job was taken over by Sam Ford in 1924, articles and improvements have been added, one by one, until the Co-op has reached its present status. Student-Owned Institution The stock of the Co-op, because it was built up gradually from a be-gmning^ gaugurated by other students, belongs wholly to the student association. The manager is paid a flat salary, hiring two part-time student helpers. The wages of the afore-mentioned employes must come from a general fund created by revenue on sales. Operation today is identically the same as it was in the beginning, except that of late revenue has been declining.

At each high school one member of the group addressed all graduating seniors, arid answered .individual questions in private sessions that followed. The principals of the schools visited, including Vancouver, Kelso, Longview, Chehalis, Centralia, Ho-quiam, Aberdeen, and Olympia, and the college administrators had a joint meeting to discuss means of ^improving this endeavor. Dr. Kuder was elected as the chairman of the committee to formulate final plans and certain methods which would improve the schedule. Dr. Kuder remarked that it was a pleasant and profitable exper-ence; for high school seniors got a preview of what they could anticipate upon college entrance.

Although I didn't pen the little editorial, may it be clearly understood that my sentiments are 100 per cent for Oscar. Scrambled Sport Chops . . .

Maybe you are a product of the farm lands, and maybe the pigs back home do miss you, but you can still pitch the horsehide for my diamond learn any old day. Lyle, you know, chucks the stitched apple for the Cordon Wreckers, City league baseball nine... As a result of the big lad's effective hurling, the Wreckers were able to herald the season opener Monday night with a 4 to 3 victory over the Northwest Cycles nine. Not only did the former varsity hoop ace wither the opposing batsmen with his steamers, but he also contributed to the win by spiking the plate with a tally. I'll colled that quarter right after lunch, if you don't mind, Lyle, me boy— .• rhere has been such a hub-bub concerning the track division of the coming athletic meet on the 25th, that mentioning of the tennis and golf, matches, which will both be a part of the mammoth conclave, have been somewhat shoved into the rumble seat. Coach Lappenbusch's net team has been improving by leaps and bounds, since they took that early shellacking from Ellensburg. Since that disastrous setback from Nick and his boys, the lads have been displaying a brand of tennis that has placed them right in the groove as possible contenders for the 1940 tennis pennant. Last Friday, the court marauders tolled the bell on the P L C net squadron, burying them under a 7-4 landslide. The Gladiators, if you can remember, took the measure of the Wildcat gang not so long ago. So hold on to your hat, granny, who knows, maybe the Vikings will do a little paddling of their own this year. In the golf crystal, it looks as if Carver and his fairway lads are pennant- bound again. With Kvam and his underfellows blasting the marble with their usual efficiency, we can almost visualize the cup being placed on the Viking mantel already. But remember Napoleon, boys, so don't start sharpening pencils yet.

WALT and J ( i l l * * U ^ '; anomHom An Excellent Cuisine (it ^jtiyflr^Pnces'^'e--; Courtesy Vivian Benson By Al Biggs If you remember that far back, our horsey serial ended last week with the Big Bed of Cheney surging to an early lead followed closely by the bounding Wildcat. Our Vikings and Pacific Lutheran had a little trouble getting out of the starting gate and St. Martins didn't get out at all. . This week with the distance events and javelin predictions, t he Savages continue to stretch out fourth going to either Colwell of t he Cats, Hall of the Viking or Van along the rail, but the Vikings have started to close the gap. St. Martins' lone Ranger finally got away from the gate. Somebody built a fire under him. With Norm Dahl, the Seabiscuit, back .in running togs and trim, things look very well indeed for Sanford Carver. The smooth-running Biscuit and Roily Burke~will be a hard pair to deal with. Cheney will present with pride, Ike Brown, last year's winner and conference record holder. Cheney also lias Zier and it looks like these four will take the places. Ellensburg furnishes for the also-rans, Wilson and Bach and PLC has Wall. In the mile, we spring the big surprise of t he year. Roily Burke, the little fellow with the flowing gallop, will give Zier the mental hotfoot and coast by him to win. "Bach of Ellensburg, late of Olym-pia high, looks good for third with Slyke of PLC. The two-mile is voted to Lehn of Cheney as he is a n experienced runner capable of doing 10:26 or better. Ford of Ellensburg, Jones of St. Martins (fire finally built), and Ellis of t he Norse will probably string in afterward. The spear-throwing honors belong to unassuming Charley Brei-thaupt of the Wildcats. Dave Hip-skind and his teammate Hastings of the Savages will push Chas. most with Sreen of t h e Rangers definitely a dark horse. Going into the backstretch, it looks like Cheney (36), Cheney by-two lengths; Ellensburg second (25), Ellensburg seeming to fade; Bel-luigham. third (18), Bellingham coming hard; PLC fourth (5), Lutherans out of oats; Rangers fifth (4), Hiyo Silver. . . . Don't forget next week's episode. Will Cheney stumble in t he jumps? Highs, lows, high jump, and relay. Will Bellingham save the Colonel's stable? Is Bellingham a murder? If so, where is the child? Vik Thinclads Lose To t l ™ l Washington Babes Weber Only Viking To Clinch A First Place; Burke, Dahl Show Well; Davies Shows Well Viking sails were flying not so high today, as a result of a stinging 100 to 31 defeat administered them by a high powered University of Washington Prosh track squad yesterday in the Huskie's back yard. From the opening event of the day, the mile run,' which saw the former Sedro-Woolley ace, Bob Lynn, hit the tape in 4:36 to win the initial five points for the green, the outcome was never in the dark. Again it was Wayne Weber who supplied the tonic for the boys in blue and white, as he sailed 21 feet 1 inch to capture the bread jump, and followed this feat with a red ribbon in the hundred yard dash. Between the two, he compiled a total of eight points to' personally account for more than a fourth of his team's total. Dahl Back Norman Dahl stepped into his varsity trunks, after a two-week layoff, to run a beautiful half mile for the Vikings, finishing second to Swanzey, who romped the distance in 2:00.8. The mercury-footted veteran from Edison had the pack eating his dust for the major part of the distance, but was unable to maintain the killing sprint exerted at the finish. Roland Burke also did himself proud as he crossed the finish line in the mile run only a few yards behind Lynn. Burke, like Dahl, gained the pole at the start of the whirligig, and paced the field for nearly three laps, before he was forced to give leeway before Lynn's home stretch kick. Thommasson, Davies, and Hovde were the only other Vikings who managed to come out of t he disastrous mele with second place ribbons, Davies running second to Magers of t he Prosh in the 120 yard high hurdles, and Hovde and Tommasson gaining six points between them in the high jump and discus throw,- respectively. Bob Smith, former Centralia UBC Golfers Cop Brace Of Wins University of British Columbia's golf team displayed its superiority over WWC by defeating them in two matches, Friday and Saturday. Although the score on Friday was 12 to 3, it almost ended in a tie on Saturday, with the Vik's being on the short end of the 8 to 7 score. Webster was high man for Bellingham Friday, collecting. 2¥z points. "Lefty" Kvam, No. 1 man for Bellingham, lost all his points Friday, but retaliated Saturday by defeating his man and taking two of the three points. All in all, the two teams were evenly matched. The Viks had trouble on the strange course in Vancouver, but settled down to play a tight match on Lakeway Saturday. The Vancouver team plays a series of difficult matches in the coming two weeks. From Belling-"' ham they will journey to Seattle where they will play a match with the university. From there they go to California to play three colleges in that state. Coming back through, Oregon they will stop at two schools and possibly play a final match in the eastern part of Washington. sprint ace, covered the 100 yard distance in 9.9 seconds, but was ineligible. Another Frosh who showed well for the Huskies was Earle Sil-verthorn, who scaled the pole vault marker at 12' 1". The heighth was not accepted, however, because of his ineligibility.

SIGNS GLOTTAL - STOP McGEE Imported Iiickefs i Ace Teutonic Rabble-Rouser "Der Fuehrer da Better" Hitler, told CORNICLE reporters yesterday he had definitely signed Loye "Glottal- Stop" McGee, famed local orator, for a tour through African jungles in an attempt to arouse additional Nasty enthusiasm. Adolph was non-committal when ''Fibber's'' prowess was mentioned in comparison with his own. A guttural "Gesundheit" was all that was forthcoming. It is well known in vocal circles tb^t the German leader has'long been jealous of Ale- Gee's abilities and it was a knife in the back when he was' forced to sign "the dean" for the approaching critical tour. Responding to popular demand voiced by students of WWC, that notable hangout for non-co-operatives proprieted by Solomon S. Ford has announced tne opening of a combination cocktail lounge and auto camp. This amazing development came about as a result of student mass meetings held on the Edens hall steps during the past week, called and brought to order • by Miss May Mead and Miss Florence E. Johnson, school nurse and dean of women, respectively. This unprecedented action eventually forced our heretofore stagnant bored of control to. become caught in the wheels of progress and movement resulted. Located among the dark and gloomy recesses from which the aforementioned Messer. Ford has often been seen to stagger, carrying a tremendous load, the new addition to life and hilarity will specialize in the sale of fine imported spiritous fermehti, and mixers of all kinds. A popular range of prices will prevail, according to Bob Mc- Abee and Miss Melba Mayhew, two of Ford's better known henchmen. These two_ worthies also voice the hope that tlj|f$ innovation will fill ' the crying need which the AWS seems unable to fill every Thursday with their tea, the drink which neither innebriates nor refreshes. HEAD MUSEUM COLLECTION "Mildy" PHOTOSBY TIFFANY itin Tc^CQ 1 ^ Scheduled For Art's Sake Cenci Artie Wants Jeeter Role—Please? Let,s Make Hayes While Sun Shines Disclosing sensational news of another magnificently oderiferous Bellingham premiere, Dr. Oughta See Hicks, Guilt head, jumped about excitedly, gnawing on his fingernails, and grinning his most viciously disarming Cenci grin, as he briefly in long involved vocabular-iated sentences discoursed upon the selection of "Tobacco Road" as the next Theater Guild production. "They've waived all royalties," he gurgled, "if I'll consent to portray Lester Jeeter. "And will I?" he giggled gleefully. I was raised among these people and know their true worth. And then too, I am pe- n culiarly suited for this part; I have the physique—the ability." "I, and someone else, who compose the play-reading committee feel that the simplicity and whole-someness of the play will "get" the audience. But to be sure of that we have taken out insurance with Lloyds and are giving out 500 free tickets for each performance. This was found to be a successful way of getting an audience at The Cenci and we hope to continue the practice." ':•: •-.. --•• T. •:•'-': gt;—••-. -•-•**--.. --- *•- "And ah!" he sheepishly procrastinated, "The cast—well, we have been thinking of Miss Cummins for Sister Bessie Rice, but mind you— we haven't promised her the part yet.

Unanimously the bored voted to dismiss Mabel Zoe Wilson, WWC's librarian since its beginning in 1799, and elected Frances "Twice" Daley, B. U. L. L., in her place. Wilson was dismissed for ordering, for faculty use only, 150,000 copies of 'rSpicy Detective," "Spicy Adventure," and other high-brow magazines published by the East India Spice Company. Two other WWC faculty members, namely, Eddie "Yes and No" Arntzen and Henry "Hank" 'Coleman, were involved in the mess. Eddie and Hank were caught in the basment. of the library edifice where Mabel had hidden the spicy journals. It was reported that they seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely. "Yes and No" Arntzen and Coleman were not dismissed by the board but were put on probation for the rest of this quarter. Miss Daley, a conservative and thevbored's rather revolutionary choice for a successor to "Scandal-Raiser' Wilson, immediately made known her plans for expansion and" modernization of the library .building. "Twice" Daley stated that beginning next week one-half of the tables in the general reading room would be removed to provide; space for a nightly dance. She said, too that a nickelodeon and 1,000 latest swing records would be' purchased for this room. Prances said, "By dimming the lights for dancing we will be able to save a great deal of electricity." In the reserve "book room, a modern, spacious bar will be installed. This addition will enable students to get a full evening's entertainment in one spot. The new library hours will be from 8 p. m. to 12 m. except Friday and Saturday evenings when it will be; open until 2 \a. m. j t t j t so happens that: some; of the5 more studious students want to study they will be directed to the public library.

Thesewere the words of Arthur "Pat" Miller as he was captured by FBI agents yesterday while taking a bath. Miller was apprehended with his accomplice, Walter "One-eye" Suth-erlen for running their printing establishment in competition with Uncle Sam. The fat Republicans were taken unawares and offered practically no resistance. For several-months the FBI has been watching "Pat" and "One- Eye" operate their print shop in a supposedly • clean-cut manner, but they weren't' fooled by their innocent front. Each night "Fat" Miller and another pal, Prank "Shorty" Lacey, who is -still at large, workedvand sweated producing shiny, new greenbacks; each night "One-Eye" Sutherlen stole up from the ground floor to the Bellingham National Bank vaults on the floor above where he would calmly exchange a hundred or so hot bills for .some which Uncle Sam had made.

Upon questioning as to the elimination of WWC fun, members of the bored were of the unanimous opinion that previous wreck hours we're failures. This fact is evidenced by the poor attendance and glum expressions on the faces of what few duds turn out. to navigate their carcasses around the arena.

You see, my bathtub can be carried anywhere, to the theater, to the office, to, class, or to the house of a friend, or it could be set up in either a telephone booth or a trailer.

BEWARE DOPES Ronald Coleman Culminating a search of a year and a half, Senator Harold (Dies) Booth announced early this morning the apprehension of several members of a horrible dope ring which has been active at WWC for more than two years. Indictment proceedings were begun involving Stan "Praise Allah, Girls" Lapin-ski, "Wayne "Abdul" Weber,, and Walter "Emmanuel" Hall, ail of them escaped drug addicts, formerly confined to the insane ward in the national penitentiary of Bes-arabia. Charges against these notorious gangsters include illegal entry into the U. S., which in itself proves their dope smuggling skill. In addition they are accused of smuggling into class late on various occasions that insidious, creeping, crawling, despicable, and otherwise utterly reprehensible dope, Marijuana Doug Lince. This last charge is of particular interest to students of WWC in that each and every one is a potential victim of this wretched thing which robs even its passing acquaintances of their self-respect. This information has been discovered in time to afford some degree of protection to college-goers, but the effects of this dope linger on.

"Lappy has an insane desire to amass all the grid prospects that he can get, by fan- means or-via the other route.

CHENEY", Wash., April 1.—(Special)— The city of Cheney, Washington, was rocked by the news of Lap- "penbusch's capture, and immediately started a campaign to have the "honorable" coach released. The following notice was dispatched to Belluigham police headquarters today: "We, the students and faculty of EWC, will do all that is within our power to have Mr. Lappenbusch exonerated from the charge that has been placed against him. We condemn utterly the befuddled accusations of the federal police and local authorities for prying into the life of a respectable coach. If "Lap" is found guilty of fryed, as he surely will be, how in the world can we win any games? Therefore, we demand his immediate release, or ill feelings will prevail between us- Olaf Skins Snozzle; Expects Patent To Eliminate Pants Despite the numerous erroneous reports as to Olaf Cederstrom's loss oi skiing inferiority he still remains the best d d slider downer in Mrs. Cederstrom's house.

They said in their 20,000-word telegram (sent collect) that Waldo field, Coach Carver's playground, was picked as the best spot this side of Croydon for a military' and naval airport. Not only because of its already high altitude, which will save gasoline in taking off, but, because of its. access to WWC, well-known flying school, was it chosen by high government officials. Boothe, rather new at extracting graft, managed to persuade Boeing to use our new field as a base for their new fleet of stratoliners. Pan American has' also consented to base its clipper ships at WWCE as soon as we get a large pit dug and filled with San Francisco bay water. This arrangement will enable WWC students to take a honeymoon trip to Hawaii or other Pacific isles including the San Juan islands. Special student rates will be made available. Because WPA (not -WWC) labor is to be employed, the combined land and water airdrome is expected to be finished during spring quarter, 2391.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON By EVAN HILL HOMECOMING— . The first bonfire for a Homecoming celebration at Western Washington College — then Washington State Normal school at Bellingham —was held in the middle of Waldo field on November 21, 1924. This is according to Viking files. As years, go by, celebrations of this kind get "bigger and better" jufct'as the student managers of celebrations of this type keep saying. Now we hold the bonfire in the new football field back of the new P. E. building. I , .understand that the bonfire will Be the "biggest and bestest"—at' least that's what the student managers tell me. But they probably reckoned without the coming of the snow. Now maybe it'll be just the bestest. POLITICAL PULL— A stranger from the East had heard of the prosperous West, and moved out to Seattle. When he arrived there, he took in the sights and finally stopped on a corner where he overheard two men talking. The conversation hinged around someone by the name of Dore, a person with whom the Easterner was totally unacquainted. Curiosity, overcame him and he stepped forward to ask the street corner politicians who this Dore was. "What? Dont you know?" queried one of them in reply. "He's the mayor ofthis city." The Easterner lifted his eyebrows. "My gosh, he must have lots of pull with Dave Beck." - , MORE HOMECOMING— Welcome Alumni! Welcome back to the classrooms and dorms in Which you slaved and slept—or vice versa. We are glad to see you back. Many of you have friends in our midst—and regardless of whether you. .know us now or not, we will all be friends by the time the dance ends Saturday—AND HOW! MORE YET— Some day the struggling students ever-present in the halls of the college today, will be alumni and they will be looking forward to Homecoming and the relief from drab life which that celebration brings. o Rallying Rec Hour After Bonfire "After tonight's serpentine and bonfire, we hope you'll be in the mood for a rallying rec hour. Come dressed as you are—just so your spirits are high," announce Mary Gardner and Alice James, Joint chairmen of the affair. Rec hour starts promptly at 9:00, with Jay Curtis and his orchestra furnishing the music. Faculty sponsors for the dance are: Miss Pearl Merriman, Miss Wilma Trent and L. A. Kibbe. FAVORED Evening Dance Annual Festivities Alumni Swarm Homecoming Brings Oid Grads If you see a horde of strangers swooping down on the campus, don't think it's a Japanese invasion or a Russian migration . . .it's just WWC'c fourteenth annual Homecoming. ~ Scores of alumni are in town for PREXY FISHER Since the first Homecoming day in 1924, many developments have taken place in our College. Many hundreds of students have been in attendance and many graduates have been added to the long list of graduates that have gone out from our College since it was founded in 1899! Homecoming day is a day of memories associated with our College since its beginning. On this day we.are happy'to greet students of the early years, students of not long ago, and students of more recent years. You are sons and daughters of your Alma Mater who has a common interest and concern in each one of you. In the spirit of this day, we extend a hearty welcome to all former students.

It was definitely decided at last j Wednesday's Board of Control I meeting that WWC students would be admitted to the Homecoming game tomorrow through only one gate, that gate to he the one closest to the bleacners on the east side of the field. This measure will facilitate the location of the card section. Each student will be required to sign his or her name on a slip of paper as he enters and this signature will be compared with that on his student activity card. James High, assisted by two members from the faculty committee on athletics will be in charge of the admittance. It has been made possible for the Viking football team to be seated on the same side of the field as the card section, and likewise the band. HOMECOMING NELSON the weeK-end, shaking hands, slapping backs, swapping yarns of then-undergraduate days, and reminiscing in general. All the traditions of former Homecomings will be observed, with the Western Viking's brainchild, vo-So-Peachy," making its initial appearance. All is in readiness for a gala occasion, with one and all pleading fervently with the weather man for a dash of good weather. Frosh Get Ready Mike Zylstra and his cohorts of the freshman class are highly confident of defending their bonfire against those of the upper classes who would commit arson. At 7:00 tonight a motorcycle escort will lead the serpentine downtown from Edens hall and afterwards the bonfire will be burned and patriotic speeches will ring out. McKee's Band Plays Ed Porter, chairman of the dance committee, has secured the services of Mel McKee and his orchestra for the big Homecoming dance, which By A. C. Hicks Criticism, dramatic and otherwise, may err in two fashions mentioned by George Meredith with reference to fiction—rose pink and dirty .drab. I have been taken to task for the former error in my reviews of college theatricals, perhaps with some justice. My only defense is that I have at least avoided what I consider the greater error of viewing the work of amateur actors with jaundiced eyes or spectacles of dirty drab. Nothing is easier than negative criticism—by some regarded as the only sort of criticism—because no aesthetic or imaginative exertion of the critic is required. All he need to do is close his organs of appreciation, refuse to meet the object of his criticism half way, and set himself on the pedestal of his own self-esteem. To come to the point, I went to Edens hall last night to be amused and entertained, not to tell Mr. Hoppe and his cast how they might have improved and polished their production had they employed me as assistant director. I am forced to say, however it may hurt my critical vanity, that I was not disappointed. The play itself, Lawrence Riley's PERSONAL APPEARANCE, is a delightful satire on the movies, their absurd falsification, of life, their gaudy and meretricious system of values, the pathetic egotism, emotional instability, and hlstronic affection of screen stars, and the naivete and gullibility of their public. The sophisticated and spicy dialogue carries the action briskly from one hilarious situation to another. The cast, believe it or not, was well balanced and competent. Anne Matheson, who has essayed with success such roles as Shakespeare's shrew, Katherine, came through with a well sustained characterization of Carole Arden. Gait, gestures, voice all suggested the spoiled darling of movie fame. A good foil to the star was the movie-struck chit, Continued on Page Three Oriental Wizard In Assembly Thomas The Magician To Perform Old Tricks Of The Stage Big Celebration Starts Tonight Soniferous Serpentine Leads To Beamy Bonfire; Colorful Parade Starts at Seven Actress Anne Wildcats Inva| Norse Lair For Big Game Huggins Star of Ellentburg Attack; Western Washington Slight Favorites to T^rhinffc; Pisi Munkres Starts at Full ANNE MATHESON Anne Matheson, popular young actress who played the feminine lead of Kate in Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" and Lady Mary in Barrie's "The Admirable Crich-ton," both played several years ago, again appears before WWC audiences when she plays the lead of Carole Arden in the present drama production, "Personal Appearance:" The role played by Miss Matheson is the same one played by Mae West in thejnwy^^GoJ^est. „ Young Man."

President Fisher of WWC attended. At the annual meetings, usually held in Seattle, problems of interest to the three institutions are discussed. A discussion concerning a retirement fund for teachers, office staff, and employes was broached and two plans were submitted, both of which are dependent on the state for financial help. One of the plans is to become members of the State Teachers' Retirement Fund, and the other is to set up a separate annuity fund. In explanation of the discussion of junior college work and the changes that should be made to improve conditions, all brought up at the meeting, President Fisher said: "If the state wants more junior college work than we're doing now, theyll have to give us the teachers and equipment to do it with." A meeting with the State Plan ning council in which state junior college work will be discussed is scheduled for Monday evening, No vember 22. The Planning council is working on a survey of education in the state, a protect which was asked of them by Governor Martin.

History April 29, 1932— Roger Chapman, editor of the Northwest Viking, writes: TO EFFECT economies in publishing that have become necessary because of a decrease in income, the Northwest Viking appears this week as a six-column paper. OUR PRESENT financial difficulties are due to two causes. One is the result of the general economic slump and making for fewer advertisements, and the other is in poorly organized and inadequate methods of handling and checking the publication of the school. IT IS THE HOPE of all that the limi- ^lltions iound necessary will be only temporary and that in time the Viking will return as a bigger and better publication and win more honors for the Bellingham Normal. November 19, 1937— Roger Chapman's hopes are answered. Beginning with this issue the 7-column Viking win once again become a regular publication of this schooL But times have changed since Chapman's day, under the regime of Harry Kluge, the Northwest Viking changed its direction to the Western to match Prexy Fisher's feat of promoting the name of this institution from Normal to College. Five years ago Roger Chapman would have said, "The Northwest Viking of the Belllngham Normal greets you, Alumni." Today it's the Western Viking of the Western Washington College that extends its welcome to the returning grads. Dear Mama ..Dear Mama: Since this are joyous time of Homecoming Week, all those organized students and clubs are decorating houses and store windows to dealing out great honors to many puffed-with-success grads. (Also feetball combat with pooh-pooh wildcats from Ellens-burg.) I, too, are desirous of doing. own small hit to making great event a success.

The cast has such players as June Travis, Johnnie Davis, Mable Todd and William Hopper. The entertainment is rounded out with "The Man Who Cried Wolf," which has Tom Brown, Lewis Stone and Barbara Read. An Omnibus by The Stroller AVALON "The Good Earth," from a story by Pearl S. Buck, stars Luise Rainer and Paul Muni It is a realistic portrayal of the sufferings and hardships of the poverty stricken Chinese, of drouths, plagues and famines.

It is one of a series of six comedy- dramas to be completed within the next year or so. AMERICAN Poem— A FROSBPS CONCEPTION of THE LIBRARY A congenial place to study Is in the library 'cross the way. Where everything is quiet And undisturbing (so they say). The bashful little Romeo Goes strolling through the night To meet his longing "heart beat" His source of true love light. In a far-off corner With their backs turned to all Who may enter there to study Then proceed they to "fall." The books are open lain With papers scattered aroun' (A good impression it will make While "the goose is roasted brown"). A few pages may be turned A few lines are scribbled down A few glances are exchanged Then they really "go to town." They pour muddled whispers Into one another's ear A giggle echoes soundly Then unnoticed will disappear. It's a congenial place to study This library 'cross the way And everything is quiet And undisturbing (so they say)! —Auntie-Ominus. Debrrtis Hello, boys and girls —have had a hectic week running around, trying to catch the right people doing the wrong thing. HELEN TRICK-EY and TOM EVANS are receiving compliments on their swell acting in last Tuesday's Klipsun skit—the night scene. People have more fun than anybody, dont you think? If MIKE ZYLSTRA wants help in building the scaffold for the frosh bonfire, why didn't he announce it in assembly last Friday. Or would you rather take all the credit and tell us about it later.

The barbed wit of Aunt Kate Barnaby was effectively brought out by Meryl Winship. The young lovers, Joyce Struthers and Chester Norton, were played with a certain freshness and directness that set off the sophistication of Carole. Patricia Stoddard had a good conception of the genteel tourist-home proprietress, Mrs. Addie Struthers. The minor roles or actor, the radio announcer, Clyde Pelton, Johnson, and Jessie were satisfactorily handled by John Solomon, Leslie Higginbottom, Wilton Poolman, Homer Morris, and Catherine Smith respectively. Much credit is due Mr. Hoppe and his assistants, Catherine Smith and John Solomon, for the direction and staging. The conventions of the penthouse style were handled with ease and naturalness, so that the audience had no difficulty in adjusting themselves to the novelty of the medium.

Last year the Vikings dropped a hard fought battle to Ellensburg by a score of 7 to 6. Come on out and give the grads a good hearty welcome this Saturday afternoon, and help cheer a great team on to victory. Looking It Over—1937 Version By Jack Carver 'Weil have to stop their passing attack to have an even break, and if we don't they'll have a definite edge on us," so says Lappy. He should know as he's scouted the Wildcats three times this year, but this typewriter plunker thinks that we should beat 'em despite their passing attack, and beat 'em in true form if we (the Vikings), start in where We left off in the Cheney tussle. In the last 12 years Bellingham has beaten Ellensburg twice, 33-6 in 1925, and 8-0 in 1935. The grads won't be disappointed this year!

BELLINGHAM The Cats have a couple of tough little guards in the persons of Thurston and Smoke. (Davis had better look out for a Smoke screen). They weigh about 185 pounds and. can stand under the outstretched arms of Ham Anderson, big 6 foot 7 inch tackle, who Lappy says is one of the best tackles Ellensburg has ever had —and they've had some good ones. THIS AND THAT Tip: Watch No. 13 for Ellensburg —it's Hug-gins, the best passer in the Tri - college. He's accurate with either a dry or wet ball. . . . This is the 13th game between the two institutions. . . . Will it be lucky for us? . . . Lappy spieled to the American Legion the other night on "How to watch a football game." . . . They put their okeh on the Norse as we take more chances than we should, thus marking us as a crowd appealer, an asset in balancing the budget. . . . The team is whole-heartedly cooperating with the students in that they will sit in front of the bleachers, where the card stunts will be held.

The turkey day battle will commence action at 11:00 a. m. on Bat-tersby field. It is sponsored by the American Legion, and the usual colorful band maneuvers are eagerly anticipated. Invaders Strong "Linfield," stated Lappenbusch, "was selected because it is one of the stronger college teams in Oregon." Coach Lever is noted for his open style of offense. He expects to bring along one of the fastest men to be seen on the local gridiron this season. Schemer is the speedy half's name and he habitually goes romping off on long gains. Against San Francisco State he ran a kick-off back 85 yards for a touchdown. Another outstanding invader is a 230-pound guard, O'Meara. He kicks off and the pigskin quite often goes over the goal line. Jacroux is a passing threat who also carries the ball. Their hard-charging line blocked four punts in a single game. Offensive plays are of all descriptions— they have even scored on a reverse lateral. Veterans Return Viking veterans who have been kept out of the tri-college scraps will again see action. The technicalities that barred Baldwin, Blackington, etc., will not apply to this game. Pull strength once more, the Western Washington team is rated as an even match for the foe. Pre-game ticket sales will be made by the American Legion. The price is $1.03 or presentation of student tickets.

Democrats, the former Minnesota senator added, are more complex organismsâ€”"which makes them more susceptible to death." McCarthy, 64, a self-styled political maverick who ran for president as a Democrat in 1968 and again as an independent in1976, spoke Monday in the Performing Arts Center auditorium and later at a press conference. He told a near-capacity crowd the Republican sweep on election day "was not altogether surprising," citing aquote from Albert Schweitzer: "If you fail to foresee and forestall trouble, it's bound to come." TheDemocrats' reform of election laws led them to believe they had "perpetual security" over control ofAmerican government, McCarthy said. Reform, he added, is "always most dangerous when takenup by liberals." McCarthy said the 1974 Federal Elections Campaign Act, which guarantees-equalfunding for major-party presidential nominees, effectively legalizes a political system of onlyRepublicans and Democrats and therefore is a "serious threat to freedom of assembly and freedom ofspeech." The reforms severely restricted the "free politics of the Democratic Party," McCarthy said,adding "the American Revolution wasn't financed by matching funds from George III." McCarthy saidDemocrats did plenty to themselves to cause the recent Republican wave. They never recovered fromtheir "poor" handling of the Vietnam War issue, he said, and still were trying to sell 1930s New Dealpolicies in 1980. Despite his public endorsement of Ronald Reagan this year, McCarthy said he stillconsiders himself a liberal. "I think I'm the last one," he said. McCarthy said he endorsed Reaganbecause the President-elect has a better concept of individual freedom and "can handle basic economicdisorders" better than Carter. "Areas of individual liberty should be re-defined in 1980. That's more likelyunder Reagan than under Carter," he added. "I'd rather have a president who doesn't believe in evolutionthan one who says he can evolve things, or one who says he doesn't read rather than one who speedreads . . . There was a lot of nonsense in the Carter adminstration," McCarthy said. McCarthy alsoslammed the television news media, which he said conditions Americans to believe they can watch 22minutes of news a night and still have adequate information to judge issues. Pollsters, McCarthy added,are "people who ask other people, 'What do you think about this problem you've never thought about,'and then hold it up as scientific/' McCarthy also addressed the issue of nuclear-arms control, which hesaid Reagan will be better able to accomplish. The SALT II treaty would "limit" nuclear weapons at the level high enough to kill everyone on earth 60 times, he said, adding, "After you've done it two or threetimes, it's irrelevant." McCarthy mentioned the statement of Pakistani President Zia lamenting the lackof a "Moslem Bomb," since all other religions in the world are protected by nuclear weapons. With a"Moslem Bomb," he noted, "All major religions would be protected by God and the Bomb." McCarthy'sspeech was sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences and the Artists and Lecture Series.Trustees accept building bid by Sue Mitchell T he Board of Trustees unanimously approved a bid forconstruction of the South Academic building at a special meeting Monday. A bid of $3,496,224 byWick Construction of Seattle was accepted to complete 85 percent of the construction. Wick's bid wasthe lowest of 10 submitted. The College of Business and Economics and the speech pathology andaudiology department will be housed in the building, which will be just west of Arntzen Hall uponcompletion in March 1982. The Wick Construction bid now goes to the state division of engineeringand architecture for review and formal acceptance. If the bid is accepted, construction could begin bymid-December, Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said. Problems with thislong-planned building still are not over. The contract leaves two floors and landscaping unfinished anddoes not cover design, equipment or taxes. The two unfinished floors will be the ground floor, to beoccupied by the speech pathology and audiology department, and the fourth floor, which would contain office space for business administration faculty. Total construction cost, including the two floors andlandscaping, is $4,037,374. During the five years of planning, inflation has pushed the total cost ofthe building to $6.5 million from $4.5 million. The contractor's bid prices are guaranteed until March 1,1981. Because the state has allocated only $3.5 million, the university has requested two supplemental appropriations. University President Paul Ols-camp is asking state legislators to approve $1,404,000 tocomplete construction. Another supplemental request has been sent to the Legislature to cover design,equipment and taxes. This request amounts to another $1 million. If the $1.4 million is not approved,speech pathology will remain in College Hall. Michael Seilo, chairman of the speech pathology andaudiology department, said he was disappointed about the choice not to complete the department'sarea in the building. "Hopefully, the supplemental budget will be approved," he said. "Otherwise, itlooks like we will stay in College Hall permanently." Robert Collier, dean of the College of Businessand Economics, said he felt bad that speech pathology would be left out, but added the CBE needs to move because of recent growth and expected continued growth in the college. The CBE cannotoperate in Arntzen Hall, University Planner H.A. "Barney" Goltz said. The CBE was the primary reasonfor planning the new building, he added. "We realize speech pathology is housed in a poor facility andwe don't want them to think we are overlooking them," Goltz added. Seilo said he understood inflation has disrupted building plans. Wick Construction has done other construction on campus, including thefirst stage of the renovation of Old Main, the Viking Union Annex, Buchanan Towers, Fairhaven andMathes Hall. Econ M.A. dropped by Ben Verkerk Graduate students enrolled in Western's economicsmaster of arts program might have to complete it elsewhere. Acting on a recommendation of theGraduate Council last spring, the Academic Coordinating Commission voted unanimously Tuesday tosuspend the program because of insufficient enrollment. Ray McLeod, a physics departmentrepresentative, had requested that the ACC review the council's recommendation after the commissionrejected a separate recommendation to suspend the physics master of sciences program at its Nov. 4meeting. Economics Department Chairman Peter Harder, however, encouraged approval of theGraduate Council's recommendation Tuesday. He said the economics department agreed with Western'sguidelines for the viability of graduate programsâ€”that they enroll at least 10 students per year andgraduate four. But Herder added his department retains the authority to reinstate the master's programwhen demand for it increases. The Faculty Senate must approve the ACC's decision before the programis terminated. ---------- Western Front - 1980 November 21 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN-FRONT.

Response angry toROTC by Mike Brotherton Tempers boiled Wednesday afternoon at theAcademic Coordinating . Commission's (ACC) open forum concerning a proposed Army ROTCprogram at Western. The predominantly hostile audience filled the 50-seat meeting room to twice itscapacity. After the two-hour session, Walt Lonner, of the psychology department, said responseslacked sound reasoning. ' Lonner is a member of the four-person committee appointed by the ACC toevaluate the feasibility of beginning reserve officer train- Roy Shapley ing courses here. He said thecommittee cannot proceed on the forum's results. A survey of student sentiment also would proveindecisive, he said. The committee needs more comments. Responses can be sent to James Talbot,chairman of the ACC and vice president for academic affairs. Army spokesman, Lt. Col. RonThornquist, a military science professor at the University of Washington, fielded questions from theaudience. "We're making a contribution to peace," he said. "I don't want to go to war either." The forumfailed to provide information the committee wanted, but Lonner said he and the other members willmeet within the next few days to discuss responses and decide what action to take. Two students andtwo faculty members comprise the committee. The committee will decide whether the program isworthy of college credits and examine logical arguments rather than sentiment before deciding ROTCfeasibility, Lonner said. By definition "University" refers to the whole of education, he said. No subject of study should be disqualified without ample justification, he added. Many audience members saidthey decided to come to Western because it has no fraternities, sororities or ROTC. Such programsruin the liberal arts atmosphere, they said. Lonner conceded this possibility, but said responses failedto support the contention. Several persons said they will leave Western if ROTC is instituted here.The committee will present its feasibility evaluation at the Dec. 15 meeting of the ACC. The ACCevaluation will go to the Faculty Senate and then to the Board of Trustees before a final decision ismade. AS endorses proposed GUR by Bob Williamson The Associated Students Board of Directorsvoted Monday to support a proposal to make Introduction to Women's Studies a general universityrequirement. AS board member Bob Frazier wrote a statement of support and forwarded it to SiegrunFox, director of women's studies, who will give the endorsement to the GUR committee. The GURcommittee will meet at 3 p.m. Nov. 25 in College Hall 131 to decide the fate of the class. Frazier saidthe AS board supports the proposal because most classes lack women's perspectives. "This class isan excellent way to make the kinds of awareness and understanding about women's roles in historyavailable," he added. Women's Center Coordinator Laurie Romnes, who had requested theendorsement, said the AS board's support would provide a stronger case for making the course a GUR."Student support in academic affairs gives us more say in telling the university what we want to learn,not the other way around," Romnes added. Romnes said if the GUR committee rejects the proposal,"We will continue to fight to get women's studies a GUR until we succeed." If approved by the GURcommittee, the course would be a four-credit elective for humanities and non-Western and minoritycultures. The 100-level course would be included in the new Western catalog. Whether the committee approves the proposal is determined partly by the response to requests listed in the GUR courseproposal form. The requests include describing the course's contribution to the general education of theuniversity student and summarizing the range of traditional questions or Nov. 23-29 National Bartender's Week JOBS IN STUDENT PUBLICATIONS KLIPSUN EDITOR, Winter 1981 about $330/qtr turn inapplications to Journalism Secretary, GSH 204.

Another requestasks how the course will help students learn to integrate different areas of knowledge. According toresponses draft* by Fox, the course contributes to a student's education because "it would give students an overview of the new research findings . . . and help graduating students to leave this campus with amore sex-balanced view of societal and cultural issues."

Mahoney has finally decided to write one of his own. Human sexuality, he said, is one of the rare fields of study in which you can integrate material from a number of diverse disciplines as itincorporates cultural, learning and physical processes. "All the textbooks in existence, however, arebiased in their point of view. They approach and subject only as it applies to their field," Mahoney said. His textbook, titled "Human Sexuality: A Multi-disciplinary Aproach," will- attempt to pull together themost recent sophisticated research from all involved fields, he said. Research in this area, as anacademic discipline, has boomed in the last five years, he said. One of the major reasons is morecompetent individuals are expressing an interest in the field. This is a rare learning experience forstudents, he said, because "they are on the frontier of knowledge in an expanding new field." SociologyDepartment Chairman Mahoney has been a Sociology professor here for ten years. He said hecurrently teaches the course each quarter to about 40 students. Mahoney said he finds that "lecturing is a very inefficient means of transferring information" and that a book could meet these needs muchbetter, leaving class time open for discussion of current topics. "Open communication in the classroomis a rewarding teaching experience," he added. Mahoney said his 670-page textbook, divided into 15chapters, is "lavishly" illustrated with original artwork, done exclusively for him by Alan Parker, aBritish freelance artist. Mahoney said he enjoyed working with Parker on the artwork because itenabled him to get exactly what he wanted. Generally, it is the publisher's responsibility to get theillustrations, he said, but British artist Alan Parker's illustration of a Victorian erection control device.publishers do not know what would work best with the material. The book also will include about 100photographs by various freelance photographers, he said. Mahoney said the only problem heencountered while writing the textbook involved a small conflict with the publishing company, JenniferGarlington I. R. Mahoney discusses his new text book entitled Human Sexuality: A Multi-disciplinaryApproach. The book, Mahoney says, doesn't hide anything. McGraw-Hill. The study of human sexualityinvolves many controversial subjects, he said, and the publisher was a little concerned about thecoverage of some topics, for marketing reasons. Things are being worked out now, however, and almostevery aspect necessary to the study of human sexuality is discussed in the text, he added. "Sexualityruns the gamut from the most intense human emotions to the most despicable human behavior,"Mahoney said. If an individual finds the prospect of studying this subject objectionable on an intellectual, but honest, level, he added, perhaps he should not take the course. Total honesty is basic to this book and Mahoney said he has made absolutely no attempt to hide anything. Ex-Cornhusker grabs top Front spot After much deliberation, Western's publication council decided to shoot for the limit and chose a former Nebraska resident to head the Western Front winter quarter.

"^1ftdi^ecaUse^Women---ari(d;niinorities have been discriminated agaimtbefore, they now fill the non-tenure track positions that will be affected most by staff layoffs. Institutions receiving federal contracts are required by law to hire a certain number of women and minorities. ThisAffirmative Action program at Western never has achieved federal requirements. The greatest gains havebeen made in unskilled jobs and lower paying faculty positions, the very jobs administrators areconsidering for elimination. And while University President Paul Olscamp says he supports AffirmativeAction, women serve on the faculty much longer than men before being granted tenure. Western nowsports a predominately all-white male faculty. Whether discrimination occurs blatantly orunconsciously, one or the other must be the case. Such male dominance does not occur if applicantsare judged solely on their merits. Students here should be upset if across-the-board budget cutseliminate the few minority and female faculty members now employed. It would be an immoral decision ifWestern's administrators decide to cut non-tenure track positions. Affirmative Action here needs aboostâ€”not a setback. Ronald Reagan's proposal to dump the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty hasbeen attacked by liberals and conservatives alike, but he has not heeded the emotional accusations ofdetente-destroyer and weapons-warlord. That is fortunate for all members of the proletariat who do notunderstand the doublespeak of SALT II. It claims to strive for a balance of power while actually producinga balance of terror. Those who believe SALT I was a blessing should consider that the ceiling put on thenumber of missiles left a great deal of room for increase on both sides. Also, limiting the amount ofintercontinental missiles encouraged a speedup in the search for more sophisticated weaponry. Theproposals for some of our most deadly weapons may have been met with stronger resistance if they hadnot found support provided by SALT I. Military analyst Fred Kaplan, a graduate fellow in the Arms Control Project at the MIT Center for International Studies, calls this "using arms control negotiations to propelthe arms race." The arms race is not effectively limited by restricting missile quantity. A balance ofpower treaty also must include limits on the quality of weaponry, and we finally may have a president who realizes it. â€”Teresa Tsalaky Editor: Sue Mitchell.

Comment It's in our interest to save thepresidency With the vanquish of President Jimmy Carter on Nov. 4, the string of one-term presidentsnow totals five. The reasons vary from scandal to assassination to war, but the trend is clear andsteadfast. Presidential incumbency, once a virtual guarantee for re-election, has been weakened greatlyduring the 20 years since Dwight D. Eisenhower last completed two full terms. Political scientists offerseveral explanations for the one-term presidency, but the prevalent diagnosis regards the cause aspublic disappointment. As political scientist James David Barber of Duke University recently toldNewsweek, "We hang incredible hopes on our presidents. And then, when the hopes are dashed, so are they." Carter's term exemplifies Barber's analysis. He campaigned in 1976 on promises to never lie,curb inflation, reduce unemployment and trim the bureaucracy. When he failed to translate hispromises into policy his standing in the public opinion polls crashed to record lows and he wasannihilated in his re-election bid. Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford also fell prey to the dashed presidency. All three entered office with high public expectations and support,especially Nixon after his 1972 landslide, yet all three managed to doom their administrationsâ€”Johnson through Vietnam, Nixon through Watergate and Ford through the Nixon pardon. This modern trend for one-term presidents raises the question: Is a four-year Ronald Reagan administrationinevitable? Not necessarily. But to avoid the fate that befell his predecessors. Reagan must governeffectively and live up to his promises. But this task is made difficult by lack of historical precedent, thecomplexity of the presidency and the shallow reservoir of American patience. Should Reagan fail toaccomplish this task, he will not surprise those political scholars who believe presidents have no oneto 'Vie naively expect the president to transform all our hopes into reality/ blame but themselves fortheir premature departure. "This (the one-term presidency) is no big cosmic thing," historian RichardWade of the City University of New York told Newsweek. "Carter was a lousy president." To somedegree Wade is correct. Presidents often doom their own administrations by creating enormousexpectations during the campaign that are difficult to fulfill once in office. It is this disparity between rhe-^ toric and reality that prompts public disappointment, promotes cries of broken promises, reduces apresident's stature in the polls and consequently leads to a one-term presidency. Reagan certainlyraised expectations of greatness during the campaign, a burden he will have to carry with him intothe Oval Office. In essence, he has already given the public the tools to destroy his presidency andshould the crevice separating promise from performance grow too deep, those tools may be employed.It is too easy, however, to accept Wade's analysis and blame the one-term presidency entirely on thepresidents. The American public also contributes to the perpetuation of the one-term presidency. As Barber said, Americans hang incredible hopes on their presidents. We naively expect the president to transform all our hopes into reality, and yet we provide neither the necessary time nor latitude forhim to do so. The press also dooms an infant presidency. Press preoccupation with comparing promises to performance early in a president's term leads to great dissertations about a failed presidency. Inturn the public becomes convinced a president is a failure before he even finds his way around the White House. Still, the one-term presidency is not inevitable. Saving Reagan from just one term may not beeveryone's goal. Saving the presidency from becoming a transient position predicated onunavoidable doom every four years, however, is certainly in our interest and within our grasp. ^-MMMmm ---------- Western Front - 1980 November 21 - Page 5 ---------- FRIDAY; NOVEMBER 2% 1980 WESTERI^FROBEF 5 More to it Western Front: I, perhaps, as aliterature student embalmed in the musty values of ancient volumes, cannot avoid reducing issues tophilosophical polarities. I can't resist the vision of old affirmation-versus-denig-ration raising his hoaryhead and muttering over the contents of the Western Front editorial and news pages. 1 refer to yourgeneral attitude toward the Associated Students. The old platitude goes that it's easier to criticizethan praise, but I think there's more to it. I would be the first to support the vital function of criticism,but at times it seems to be a disguise for a clever form of apathy. This sort of apathyjustifies itself in two ways: it makes the AS leaders into "the others," into an "establishment" which must be blocked andopposed regardless of the issue; and it operates on the assumption that student government isconfined within limitations of ineffectiveness (in other words, students can't accomplish anythinganyway, so why rock the ' boat?). Investigation of some of the recent efforts of the Associated Studentsexplodes, at least, the two assumptions 1 proposed above. Student organizations do have power toaffect some important issues, both internal and external to the university. Western's AS leaders recently played a key role in the decision to keep security guns off campus. Some of these student leaders arecurrently involved in a legal suit to protect 2.1 million acres of state forest land from clear-cutting by thebusiness interests who manage the trust for land grant institutions, including Western. A currentissue, that of day-care funding, illustrates both the influence of student government and the lack ofunderstanding of its goals. In this case, students in general have been presented as victims of ASaction. An important motive â€¢ * behind the move has been overlookedâ€”the AS Board of Directors istrying to show students that it is the students' organization and that students should define theirareas of responsibility, while insisting that the university fulfill its responsibilities. If the students don'tassert themselves, the university administration might feel free to shrug off further essential services.Unless students act, the administration can continue to make decisions, such as reducing classwithdrawal period to three weeks, without consulting student opinion. In this case, AS actionresulted in a modification of that administration decision. The outcome of a pending issue, that oflonger library hours, depends on student input. If an AS position is to become effective in the decision, itmust be supported by statements of student interest. The point is that student government can makea difference, and that it relies on student backing for much of its power. So let's at least question someof the polarities. I'll be willing to give up affirmation-versus-denigration if the Front will look for shades ofgray in black hat versus white hat politics. Those gray areas might give room for student involvement.â€”Sara Stamey No interest Western Front: Your article, "ROTCâ€”Students will decide its fate," pointsto a problem of organizational governance that may well be a national problem. In the article Mr. Jirkaand perhaps Mr. Talbot interpreted the lack of response as a potential positive response. Socialscientists must deal with this problem regularly when they need to explain why 65 percent of the peopledid not respond to their surveys. Failure to explain non-response sufficiently is seen as weak science.Likewise, administrators face the same problem and responsibility of non-response interpretation. Whatabout those people who did not respond? The recent U.S. election interpretations have not made aneffort to explain a 48 percent non-response (non-vote) rate but rather have concentrated on the 52percent response and lauded it a "landslide." The result of this seems to be that people who haveadministrative power can interpret non-response rates as they please in order to justify or at least feelgood about their decisions. But I wonder about the long-run implications of non-response! Whathappens when more serious decisions need t6 be made and accepted by a larger community? Do those in modern complex organizations have a particular responsibility in articulating and aggregating opinionabout a particular issue or can they continue to rest on the time-pressured rationale of "We-called-a-meeting-but- no-one-showed-up"? I think both the process and content of this ROTC decision can belooked at more carefully with perhaps an eye for developing better mechanisms for universitycommunity participation. â€”Robert Spich Such folly Western Front: Such folly! In a university suchas Western, where we are supposed to be smart, we behave irrationally. Raise tuition, cut back oneducational programs and ... construct a huge, new, unnecessary business and economics building?Far be it for me to suggest that businessmen and economists don't rule the world. But to build a newcastle for them at this point would be sheer idiocy. Will we students, through inaction, be partners tosuch folly? â€”Daniel M. Kirkpatrick Changes Western Front: It's been called a revolution, a tidal wavean overthrow. Whatever it may be called, the simple fact is that on Nov. 4, Conservative Republicanstook control of the Senate and the White House for the first time in 25 years. The election of 1980, if itproves anything, is that the nation, although still somewhat divided, is looking for real solutions andpractical progress in the problems of inflation, unemployment and defense. The election represents atransformation, not of a change in basic ideology, but in methods of how to solve these social-economic problems. The statement of a ranking Republican may very well prove to be true: "The Great Society is over." If this is true, what does the future hold? Admittedly, the Republicans confess that the election of Reagan in itself will not cure the nation overnight, but they maintain that it is a start.Whether this proves to be true remains to be seen. The conservatives are looking to do what comesnaturally to conservatives: cut many programs and eliminate some basic institutions, such as theenergy and education departments. They maintain that savings would result and the nation would be bettered; but for all the transitional rhetoric, change will not come easy, if at all, in many cases. Whilethe Republicans may now control much of the government, and the bedrock conservatives may exert agreat deal of influence, the Democrats don't intend to "roll over and play dead," in the words of Joe Davis, state Democratic chairman. With Democratic control of the House, a political stalemate could result._ , The world of politics hasVway of bringing rhetoric back onto line with reality. The new government will face stiff opposition if they simply start slashing social programs. The democrats may have beenturned out in great numbers, but there remains deep convictions to many liberal programs, such as theenvironment. And there remains a democratic House to back up those convictions. No matter what wemay think, no matter what it may be called, the government is in the hands of the conservativerepublicans, and change is on the horizon. In the next four years we will see progress m \e ElectricNorseman in the areas of inflation, energy, etc , or we will see bloody political battles resulting in more de-stabilization, rather than cures. Ronnie is the new boss. What he and his cohorts do over the nextfour years will determine whether he's not simply the same old boss. The revolution has begun: itsresults will be up to us. â€”R Lindsay Engberg Pro ROTC Western Front: In the Nov. 18 edition you ranan editorial referring to the proposed ROTC program at Western and the possible repercussions thiscould bring.

The book exchange began last spring quarter as an alternative to selling books back to the Student's Co-op Bookstore. The exchange did well, but could have done better if it had been in a more visible location, AS president Greg Sobel said. Sobel wantedto put the student book exchange in the Gallery during the first and last weeks of winter and springquarters. Gary Feil, gallery director, circulated a petition opposing the idea. Sobel and Feil presentedtwo views before the Facilities Council. Sobel said last year's exchange in the Sasquatch Room on thebottom floor of the VU Annex elicited "a poor turnout."

Sobel asked the council to consider using the ArtGallery four week's a year, adding he would accept their recommendation for alternative locations. Thecouncil members suggested more publicity and advertising would alleviate the visibility problem of thebook exchange; VU administrator Jim Schuster said Mama Sundays usually has a large turnout despiteits location in the Sasquatch Room because of. advertising. Feil said with the book exchange thegallery would present one less show per quarter. He said he already is "receiving extra pressure fromartists wishing to show their work" because of the closure of the Western Gallery in the- Art-Technology building. Feil's prime argument, though, Roy Shapley The AS may frown on this type ofexchange, but it is still looking for a home for its book swap. is the gallery was remodeled this year for aspecific purpose. Venetian blinds were installed, the walls were painted and the alcove ceiling wasraised. "This gallery is for art. A book exchange in this room would damage all the nice remodeling," agallery worker said. The existing policy states that gallery space is to be scheduled by the gallerydirector. The council decided to leave the policy intact and told Sobel better advertising should precedethe next book exchange. Facilities Council representative Jessica Black said she would bring floorplans of the various university buildings to the next Facilities Council meeting so it could considerother alternatives. SCAD aids draft-aged students by Dave Dahlberg Most students at Western areuninformed about alternatives to the draft, Valerie Fisher, counselor for Students Concerned About theDraft (SCAD), said.

SCAD has been relativelyquiet since last winter, when President Carter proposed registration for the draft. Males now register asthey turn 18, which means most register in high school, Fisher said. Reagan's election, which she be-ON THE WATCH lieves may bring a greater possibility of war, may spur new interest in SCAD, sheadded. SCAD, however, is encouraging students with any concerns about the draft to use their servicesand encourages student suggestions to find new goals.

During his year-long internship, Bell will work on programs to educate everyone oncampus about the most efficient use of energy,-Con-nie Copeland, coordinator of developmentalprograms, said. Bell will inform people about conservation and act as a liaison among the variousdepartments such as maintenance and residence life, Copeland said. She said various departmentscurrently have partial expertise which Bell will try to bring together in one package. The internship wasstarted last year by the Energy Conservation Advisory Council, Greg Sobel, Associated Studentspresident, said. At that time the intern worked for Business Manager Jack Cool-ey. The position wastransferred to the Office of Student Life under the direction of Connie Copeland, who Cooley said hasmore expertise in education programs. Sobel said before the transfer, the internship was going to becancelled because Cooley lacked time for the project. The Associated Students decided, however,that the internship was important and should be maintained. After several weeks of discussion, theadministration and the Associated Students reached an agreement to transfer the internship, Sobelsaid. Bell, a Huxley work-study student, has been allocated a $1,000 budget for the academic year.According to national aver-, ages, Western is one of the top energy conservers among campuses, butmore can be done, Bell said. The Whatcom County Opportunity Council has information onweatherproofing homes and will help people with financial difficulties weatherproof their homes. Bellstressed that students should not open a window if the room is too warm. Western's maintenancedepartment asks instead that students call them. Because heat is kept to a maximum of 68 degrees indorms and 65 degrees in classrooms heat lost through the window won't return. Entire buildings areheated rather than individual rooms. Once heat maximums are obtained the heat automatically shuts off, Don House, director of maintenance said. The maintenance department also advises against usingspace heaters because they often cause fuses to blow, Bell said. Wearing warm clothing wassuggested by Bell, who added that 40 percent of body heat is lost through the head so wearing a hatcan keep a person warm. Because reservoirs are full and the mountains already have snow, noimmediate power shortage danger exists in western Washington, House said. . / ' People need to start developing good habits now so they will be ready for shortages ahead, Bell said. He added, however,this does not mean no problem will exist in the future. November is energy conservation month inBellingham. Bell said all hardware stores in town are having sales on weatherproofing materials. The city is sponsoring community workshops all month.

Paraplegics Jerry Nelson, 31, and Denny Day, 40, ofBelling-ham, have been trying to form a local wheelchair basketball or volleyball team for the past twoyears. This year they are receiving help from Western student Jamie Ross, a junior special educationmajor and intern with the Office of Student Life. Ross, who is able-bodied, said he is trying toestablish a recreation program which includes handicapped and able-bodied people from ' Westernand Whatcom County. Special difficulties arise when starting an athletic program involving thehandicapped, Ross said. Transportation, varying degrees of disability, contacting the handicappedpopulation and lack of funds are problems he is encountering, he said. Nelson, who has been in awheelchair for 12 years following an auto accident, and Day, who was crippled on the job at an ironfoundry three years ago, have vans equipped with lifts and can drive themselves to the Friday nightsport^essions. . ^ t . Manyv physically' handicapped persons, like Britt Shero, 23, a junior historymajor at Western, however, can afford neither a specialized vehicle nor $1200-a-year liabilityinsurance premiums. Western has no vehicle equipped to handle persons in wheelchairs, Ross said.The Bellingham transit system has a van available for daytime use, he said, but special fundingwould be necessary to operate it in the evenings. Ross said he is investigating the use of vans belonging to the Whatcom County Park Department or the Ferndale Lions Club. Not everyone in a wheelchair has the same disability, Ross said. Some are paraplegics, some are quadriplegics with varying levels ofupper-body muscle control, and others suffer from disabling diseases such as multiple sclerosis.Basketball or volleyball may be too difficult for many handicapped persons, he noted. Ross said heWants to offer a variety of games and activities so persons, with different levels of physical capability can enjoy the program. E PICTURE SHOW IN OH) FAIKHAVBN For 2 Weeks Only OS United Artists7:00 9:25 nightly and 4 pm Sunday 1209-11th, 676-1226- Wheelchair volleyball players compete in apick up game at the Bloedel Donovan Park gymnasium. This is the first year for the recreation program.This year the players are receiving help from Western student Jamie Ross, a junior special MelissaJohnson education major. Ross said he is trying to establish a recreation program which includeshandicapped and able-bodied people from Western and Whatcom County. Just finding and informingphysically handicapped persons about the program is a problem, Ross said. Until this year, he said,Western would not release the names of disabled students because of the confidential nature ofapplication information. He has been able to get some information this year from the Registrar's Officeand will contact the students involved. Western presently has about eight students using wheelchairs.Some of them at times use crutches, Ross said. Finding out who in the Bellingham area is in awheelchair and contacting them is very difficult, Ross said. No list of the physically handicapped exists,he noted. He said he will have to check agencies, hospital rehabilitation units and The Lens EyeOptical^ Whatcom County's Only- Full Service Optician â€¢ Soft Contacts â€¢ Fashion Frames â€¢Repairs ; . â€¢ 10% Student Discount 1300 N. State, #1 671-6950 the transit system records in orderto contact them individually. Ross said he hopes to reach many people through press and televisioncoverage of the program. No money currently is available for the program, Ross said. The communityhas contributed use of the Bloedel Donovan Park gymnasium, he said, but the county and city parkand recreation departments say they have no money to spend on the program. In the two weeks since activity sessions have begun, about five Western students, one of them handicapped, have becomeinvolved. Ross said he will ask to use Western facilities when he can show a regular attendance bysix or more students. The university, along with the community, he said, should help meet the needs ofhandicapped persons residing in the county. Of the four active Bellingham wheelchair athletes Rossknows, only Nelson and Day have come to both activity sessions, along with some friends and family.Neither Nelson nor Day expects to see a Bellingham wheelchair basketball team organize in the nearfuture. "We're out here for exercise and enjoyment," Nelson said, "and hopefully we'll be able to getsomething going on a continuing basis." "It's numbers that are working against us," said Nelson's wifePat. Not every handicapped person is going to be interested in basketball, volleyball or the program,she said, any more than all able-bodied persons would be interested in sports activities. Larger citieslike Seattle and Vancouver already have established wheelchair sports teams and programs, she noted. As part of an effort to inform the community about wheelchair athletics, Ross said he is trying toarrange an exhibition game in Bellingham between the Vancouver and Seattle wheelchair basketballteams. Able-bodied as well as handicapped persons are invited to participate in the program, Rosssaid. They can use arms and legs or they can find out what it is like to play volleyball and basketball in a wheelchair. Ross said he tries to have wheelchairs available for able-bodied use. Weekly sessions areat 7:30 p.m. Fridays in the Bloedel Donovan Park gymnasium, located on Lake Whatcom. E LSSSS^1220 N.

Three national sports magazines, Sports Illustrated, Inside Sports and The Sporting News, should hire new sports soothsayers. They all failed to include in their top ten preseason college footballrankings the top three teams in the latest Associated Press poll: Georgia, Notre Dame and Florida State. Sports Illustrated did not even predict the Fighting Irish to be in the top twenty, Inside Sports left offGeorgia and The Sporting News failed to list Florida State . A major reason for Georgia's surprisingsuccess is freshman running back Herschel Walker, who is averaging 150 yards rushing a game.Walker is 6 feet, 2 inches, 223 pounds and he runs the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds. The pre-law majorfrom Wrightsville, Georgia nearly attended the University of Southern California but decided to remainclose to home. Maybe achieving an education had something to do with it, too. Roses for the Universityof Washington Huskies, and thanks to a ! stunning 20-10 upset at USC, the U W berth is legitimate. Itcould still be an illegitimate berth if USC beats UCLA Saturday and Washington State Universityshocks the Huskies, but that is not likely to happen. The UW surely can stop the Cougars in Pullman if itcontains quarterback Samoa Samoa, the excellent runner and passer. Samoa, ay the way, prefers to becalled by his first name. Who are the worst major college teams? It's a toss-up between NorthwesternUniversity (0-11), which completed its season last week, and Oregon State University (0-9), which has two games left. Northwestern was outscored this season 444-151, holding an opponent under 25 pointsjust once. OSU has been outscored 329-98, failing to keep an opponent under 27 points. The Beaversplay their final game Nov. 30 against UCLA in Tokyo, Japan. It is rumored Coach Joe Avezzano willcommit hari-kari if the Beavers lose. Maybe he will get a part in "Shogun II." The Seattle Seahawks aredone for this season. NBC-TV must have known it would be a bad year for Seattle and thereforescheduled it for a Thanksgiving day game at Dallas, an appropriate time for the Cowboys to roastturkeys. Or perhaps you are not one of those fans calling the Seahawks "Turkeys" after the way they have given away their last two games? Maybe you call them worse names, but whatever, expect (hope for?) many camera shots of cheerleaders on Thanksgiving.

Thatwas the key word last year for the women's basketball team. This year, however, it will not be apressure cooker every game because Western is not the team to beat. At the beginning of last seasonthe Vikings were favorites to win the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Region IX,Division II championship and a trip to the national tournament. The Viks came through the season with aschool record-tying 24-3 mark, including a 15-game winning streak, to take the Northwest EmpireLeague championship with a perfect 12-0 record. The final national American Women's SportsFederation (AWSF) poll ranked them eleventh. The run for the championship was halted abruptly at theregional finals when the University of Idaho beat Western 68-56. Three starters have graduated, however, and Western is considered only one of a handful of teams vying for the championship. Coach LyndaGoodrich said, however, she is pleased. "Last year we carried the pressure as the team to beat,"she said. "The winning streak and the national ranking only made it worse. When you're playing not tolose, it makes winning that much harder."

She led all Viking scorers for the third straight year with an 18.1 average and wonAIAW and AWSF first-team All- America honors. Metzger also holds Western's career scoring mark of1360 points. The Vikings will not have the services of Nigretto until the end of fall quarter. She did notattend Western spring quarter and thus lacked three credits of the-30 per year required for eligibility. \;At the beginning of league play, Nigretto will bring with her all-region and all-league honors from lastyear. Her school record total of 233 assists also led the region. She had a team-high 121 steals and a12.7 scoring average last season. Those expected to fill two positions vacated by graduates are 6-2center Judy Irving and 5-10for-ward Sue Thomas. Irving, a senior, was a reserve last year. Goodrichdescribes her as being "a fine defensive player" and "active in the post position." "Thomas is a truepower forward, the first one I've seen since I've been here," Goodrich said of the junior transfer fromStanford University. The remaining guard position still is open. Kym Cummings, a 5- foot-10-inch seniorwho started most of last season, 5-foot-7-inch junior Jeannine Ewing who red-shirted last season aftertransferring from Seattle University, and Kim Smith, a transfer from Eastern Washington University,are battling for the guard spot. Mitzi Johanknecht, a 5-foot-10- inch junior forward, Nancy Logue, a 5-foot-8-inch senior forward and Dina von Hahn, a 6-foot-2-inch freshman center, fill out the team. Goodrich said she plans to continue the fast break. "We have a strong guard core and we should be able to runbetter this year." The 10-year Western coach said she still considers Idaho the toughest competition,even though the Vandals have a new head coach. The Vikings' first game is against the alumni on Nov.29. The season opener follows on Dec. 2 when they meet St. Martin's College in Carver Gym.

AT MAMA SUNDAYS FRIDAY NOV. 21 8PM VU LOUNGE $4Associated Students ---------- Western Front - 1980 November 21 - Page 10 ---------- 10/ WESTERN'FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1980 'Flea' flies with fun farce . .. by Kevin Stauffer France at the turn of the century. Playwright George Feydeau gained notoriety for shedding light onFrench morals. Or, rather, the lack of French morals. "A Flea in Her Ear," Western's latesttheater/dance department production, is an example of what Feydeau became renowned for â€” the"bedroom farce." The play opened Wednesday and runs at 8:15 tonight and tomorrow night in thePerforming Arts Center Main Auditorium. ~" "Flea" takes a final bow at 2:15 p.m. Sunday in the samelocation. "It is our hope that this production will reaffirm why Feydeau has been called the greatestFrench comedy writer since Moliere," Director Tom Ward said in the program notes. Of course, it reallydoes not matter how great Feydeau.or any playwright is. The actors and actresses involved musttransport the humor to the audience, or Feydeau could become tedious and confusing. Western hasClayton Corzatte, a professional who handles Fey-deau's farce with wit, style, confidence, grace and a dozen more superlatives,. He fills the dual roles of Victor-Emmanual Chandebise and Poche. Thesetwo parts are the centrifuge for a spinning script full of loose morals, overt sexuality and tantalizinghumor. Melissa Johnson Raymonde (left, Deborah Taylor) and Romain Tournel (right, Douglas Robertson) meet the bottle-toting Poche,. one of two roles played by visiting professional Clayton Corzatte. Woundinto Feydeau's play are characters like Camille (Bruce Williamson), whose cleft palate creates a comicspeech impediment and Albicocco (Shane O'Hara), an Italian with an apparently unquenchable sexualappetite. Albicocco's desire is a fairly common element of the visitors to The Hotel Pussycat. Theyinteract in what Ward called "Keystone Cops time with a French flavor." "The play borders on the brinkof absurdity; actually, lunacy is a better word," Ward said. "It's a bedroom romp, but not one word of it is profane. "It's a naughty comedy, not a dirty comedy." Ward's case does a commendable job ofbringing out the play's humor without overdoing the sexual aspects. The comedy works for Western inprobably the same way Feydeau intended it, making "Flea" a humorous social commentary. Sincejoining the theater/dance department in 1977, Ward counts "Flea" as his eleventh production here,including summer stock work. He has found farce to be the hardest form of the play, Ward said. "Youonly do this play if you have superb people," Ward said. On opening night Ward's cast tended to rushthe opening scenes. The audience needs time to become familiar with Feydeau's characters inorder to comprehend the eventual flurry of faces that climaxes in The Hotel Pussycat at the end of Act II. Corzatte's appearance on stage acts as a stable influence on the Western cast. As the playprogresses, it is apparent that the Western performers have "come to Corzatte's level," as Wardnoted. But "Flea" does not slip into a dilemma of students merely supporting the professional's antics. It is a total cast effort that translates Feydeau's work into a meaningful piece of 20th century comedy.The set designs by student Steve Arnold and the costume designs by student Laura Webster must beviewed in person. They give the cast of "Flea" the authentic surroundings they need. "Feydeau was amaster craftsman at putting together a foolproof script," Ward said. The master of French farceprobably would give Corzatte and company high marks for their interpretation of his work. Feydeau,scripts, stages, costumes and performers aside, the audience laughed repeatedly on opening night. And that is the most pleasing result of all. . . . and Corzatte's got comic control â€¢ by Grace ReamerClayton Corzatte is a man of many faces and talents. The Seattle Repertory Theater actor is equally athome'in many roles, from Shakespeare's Richard II to his comical Puck in "A Midsummer Night'sDream." Bellingham is the site of Corzatte's latest theatrical effort in Western's theater/dancedepartment production of Georges Feydeau's "A Flea in Her Ear," directed by Tom Ward. Corzatteis a guest star in the leading dual role of the French farce, an entry in the American College TheaterFestival. In a previous Seattle Repertory production of the show, Corzatte created the samerolesâ€”a turn-of-the-century insurance agent, Monsieur Chandebise, and his look-alike, Poche, an ineptporter at the Hotel Pussycat. Corzatte first became involved with Western theater last spring when hecame to Bellingham at Ward's request to teach a class in Restoration comedy for advanced actingstudents. Ward described Corzatte as one of the nation's top four or five authorities on classical dramaand French farce. "Having him here (at Western), to function as a coach... really has its benefits," Wardsaid. He emphasized that acting theory is important in class but the reinforcement, of professionalexperience is necessary. He added Corzatte has the time to work individually with students in thecast. After more than 25 years of experience in nationwide professional theater, Corzatte said heespecially likes working with students and discovering fresh ideas, in both directing and acting. "1really enjoy the whole thing of interchange between experience and the vitality of acting students," hesaid. He said he saw growth in characterization for all the actors during the last few weeks ofrehearsals for "Flea." Corzatte's initial introduction to theater was not planned. While majoring inbroadcast communications at the University of Alabama, he said he found himself gradually doingmore announcing and acting partsâ€”and liking it. Performing in a summer little-theater productionconvinced him acting was what he wanted to do. After traveling for several years in the Navy, he beganworking with regional theater companies in the southeast and then in Cleveland. "One shouldn't finishdrama training and go barreling right into New York as many young actors do," Corzatte explained. TheNew York theater scene has "a tremendous amount of competition," he added. Corzatte said hewanted to get some practical experience before attacking "the Big Apple." After working for eight yearswith the Association of Producing Artists in New York, Corzatte said he decided to move west to act and direct with Seattle Repertory. One other memorable experience of his 11 years in Seattle was theopportunity to work with Richard Chamberlain in a production of Shakespeare's "Richard II," he said.Corzatte said he is happy with his move to Seattle. He remembered that in New York, "I spent all thistime thinking I was preparing myself to be a Broadway actor." Then he said he realized thatsuccessful Broadway actors often spend more than a year playing the same role in the same show for 300 to 500 performances. "Not very many people these days restrict themselves to being New Yorkactors," he said. "I was cut out to be a regional actor, a company actor." Most important in his work, he added, is the opportunity to rehearse, to perform and to "create" new productions. Corzatte alsodiscussed a more local angle. "It's just incredible what's happening in Seattle theater," he said. Thepast 15 years have seen a phenomenal growth with the addition and increasing quality of manySeattle companies such as A Contemporary Theater, Empty Space, Conservatory and Intiman, to namea few. He cited the University of Washington's Professional Actors Training Program as one of theinitiators of rapidly increasing Â«. local interest in theater. People are moving to Seattle to act, he said,observing it is unusual to see as much theater in a city of Seattle's size. "I don't think New York is thecenter of the world anymore except, of course, a lot of people still live there," he said. Right now,Corzatte said he is happy to be in Bellingham working with talented people at Western. "I love therehearsal process (and) 1 love playing, too, the interaction with the audience," he said. .Â«^olj ' * College of Fine Performing Arts and the Dept. of Theater/Dance Presents A FLEA IN HER EAR PACMain Stage â€¢j Nov. 19-22 8:15 pm Nov. 23 2:15 pm Reservations Info 676-3873 Â© CLUB DORM DISCOUNT 676-1440 1111 N.

The Friends of Fairhaven are presenting the show, which runsthrough Sunday and returns Dec. 5-7. David Mason directs a diverse case of students, faculty and off-campus actors, including Richard Riehl, Western's director of admissions, and Constance Collier and Ann Houvenier, wives of Western faculty members. "The Gondoliers" is one of 13 Gilbert and Sullivanoperettas, and the ninth of a.continuingseries presented at Fairhaven in the last eight years. The storyline is basic with babies exchanged at birth and the resulting confusion, but the plot's simplicity is not as important as the style in which it is done, Mason said. "It's the kind of show where the audience canwalk out whistling," Mason said, adding that the music was very "accessible" to the general public.About 24 songs are included in the show, with backup music provided by Dean of Fairhaven College Phil Ager and his orchestra. Act I opens in.,Venice where two gondoliers, Marco (Bruce Relay) andGuiseppi Palmieri (John Hatten) are about to choose their brides through a dance form of blind man'sbuff. Luckily they choose Gianetta (Heidi Olson) and Tessa (Barbara Engman), the very girls theywanted. As they leave to get married, the Duke (Ward Fay) and Duchess (Mrs. Collier) of Plaza-Toroarrive from Spain with their daughter Casilda (Mrs. Houvenier) and their henchman Luiz (Riehl), who issecretly in love with Casilda.

Ensemble delightslisteners by Steve Claiborne Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo was revived Tuesday night as the WesternWind Ensemble dazzled 200 listeners in the Concert Hall. The audience also was captivated by thesounds of the orchestra as it played its way through a world premier performance of Americancomposer David Kel-chey's "Fanfare and Reflections." Kelchey, the 1979 recipient of a Fellowship inComposition from the Guggenheim Foundation, dedicated this work to the late conductor of theWestern Wind Ensemble, William Cole. A University of Washington graduate, Kelchey was a student and admirer of Cole, and presently is a faculty member of the University of North Carolina inWilmington. The first five pieces performed by the 50-member ensemble were a concert suite fororchestra titled "Hary Janos." The work portrays an old soldier spinning his yarns of war in a colorful andimaginative style. Conductor Wayne Gorder obviously was pleased with the ensemble'sperformance as he flashed smiles between pieces. The audience's spontaneous reaction after eachpiece reinforced "Gofder's pleasure., Of the five pieces in the Hary Janos suite, the audience seemed toenjoy most Zoltan Kodaly's "The Battle and Defeat of Napoleon." Gorder stepped aside and allowedthe delighted listeners to prolong their applause. Three of these pieces required only a fragment of theWind Ensemble, excluding the percussion, trombones and other instruments. The ensemble'sshuffling between these pieces was performed as smoothly as the works themselves. After a briefintermission, the audience enjoyed Kelchey's mood swinging work. The brass fanfares and woodwinds'reflective sounds compose the two main images in the music. The material, however, frequently ispunctuated- â€¢ -with-percussion/' ''â€¢'â€¢'' ': '';' The piece takes advantage of the articulative qualities of the various instrument choirs and closes with a furious and sweeping coda. This reflective tribute to Cole ended with a fanfare by the ensemble as the audience ignited its appreciation, which had beensmoldering throughout the two-hour concert.

Power fo fhe VU The Viking Union, bookstore and music auditorium were left in thedark for eight hours Monday when a backhoe working near the library ripped up a 5,350-volt servicecable. Hardest hit by the blackout was Saga food service as its employees started the long job ofwashing dishes by hand and sorting out the plates stacked outside the kitchen. But it was business asusual for bookstore and Viking Union employes as they worked by lantern. The bookstore reopened itsdoors at 3 p.m. after the Physical Plant rigged up a generator.

J ---------- Western Front - 1972 October 13 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western From t FridayvOctober;!3V1;972 Gravel hits Nixon, war, apathy by SUE GAWRYS "Orwellianlies" because they're so colossal is what Sen. Mike Gravel said the Nixon administration tells the public. Speaking Tuesday to a large audience in the Viking Union, the junior Democratic senator from Alaskacharged the Nixon administration with total corruption in government today. He used the break-in of theDemocratic headquarters as an example of what should have been "a windfall for us Democrats."Instead, the public, after hearing the White House deny the charges ("But who else would do it? Whocould use such information?"), and accuse the Democrats of gathering campaign funds illegally, did notreact. "There was not one ounce of indignation at the indictment," Gravel said. Gravel, appearing atWestern for a McGovern rally, said that our society has been "stroked over, anesthetized so they don'tcare." "You can just go out and just about bribe the people of this country into complacency," Gravelclaimed. Although he notes frustration on the country's campuses, he said that there is a lack of overtconcern about government and politics. To Gravel, the most important issue in the 1972 elections isVietnam. The man who read the Pentagon Papers aloud in the Senate, breaking their secrecy, called the American presence in Southeast Asia "totally immoral." America is in Vietnam for reasons of ego andmachismo, he said. "How will we accept the moral guilt?" Gravel asked. "I don't know if Richard Nixonwill be able to pull peace out of the hat," Gravel said. "The day George McGovern is elected is the daythe war will end." Welfare and defense are two issues where the American people become irate, Gravelnoted. "Somebody's ripping it off, getting something for nothing," Gravel said, speaking of people'sattitudes towards welfare. He cited figures which discounted this widespread belief. Fifty-seven per centgoes to children, 15 per cent to the aged, 8.5 per cent to the disabled and the blind, 18.5 per cent tomothers of dependent children and one per cent to male adults, who, Gravel noted, are either registeredand waiting for work or are in training programs. Gravel, who thinks that the defense budget could beslashed 50 per cent (McGovern would like it cut 35 per cent), said that the defense budget is the largestsince World War II, 8 billion more than last year. He denied that the American defense posture would behurt by cutting the budget, pointing out that with the number of nuclear warheads we now have, we coulddestroy Russia 56 times and they could destroy us 22 times. At the same time that President Nixonsigned the SALT treaty (to limit arms), Melvin Laird, secretary of defense, was asking Congress for abudget increase, he said. With four weeks to go in the campaign, Gravel urged the audience not to be"lulled into defeatism by the polls, which are very gloomy." As a box was being passed around forcampaign contributions, Gravel explained that the Democrats are "nickel and diming it." Despite thewealth of economic resources of the Republicans, Gravel said the Democrats had the resources ofdedicated, committed people. He said that American society needs change and Americans mustmotivate themselves to want to make the change. This can be accomplished by attaching one to theMcGovern campaign, he said. He foresees, however, that the problems of today will be solved not bygovernment, but by citizen power. Sen. Mike Gravel fields questions from the audience in the VikingUnion. Political commission granted Credits for self-study recognition, maybe funding projects questioned The Associated Students Board of Directors extended formal recognition to the Political AffairsCommission (PAC) Tuesday and promised funding to PAC "if and when funding becomes available." Aproposal by the city transit to establish a mass transit system servicing the college was also discussed. The PAC was originally established as a campus branch of the state-wide Intercollegiate Political AffairsCommission (IPAC), with the intention of the AS plugging into IPAC. However, the directors, at the urging of chairman Jim Kennedy, postponed joining IPAC until it becomes legally stable. The commission willbe primarily an information gathering and dispersing organization. However, if the board of directorsdecides that PAC should lobby for a piece of legislation, it would do so, according to PAC director DickRolfs. "PAC is directly accountable to the board," Rolfs said. "The information PAC gathers isn't anygood unless some action is taken on it." The requested budget for the commission was $800 for theacademic year. Under the mass transit proposal submitted by city transit head Ed Grimsland, studentswould pay $1.75 to ride the city buses for an entire quarter. To accommodate the added load, the citywould purchase two new buses, add one more bus per hour to service the college and extend the hoursof service to 10 p.m. The city purchased the transit system a year ago from a private concern when itwent broke. The city has been financing the system with tax monies rather than cutting off the busservice. Grimsland said his idea would bring in needed additional monies to help improve the service."The transit system is a non-profit oriented organization," Grimsland said. "This is just an idea," he said."There will have to be an awful lot of studying and figuring to find PAC director Dick Rolfs out theadditional demand and the need for new routes." Board member Joseph Hahn introduced a counter-proposal which would offer the same services on a voluntary basis for $3 per month. The transit systemcouldn't possibly handle all the students, Hahn said. At this point Kennedy suggested that the boardtable the proposal until the legality of financing could be found out. The funds would have to be collectedby the college. But once collected, the money is considered state funds. The state legislature wouldhave to approve raising tuition and giving the money to the city. "Even if this is passed by the studentbody, it would have no chance to get through Olympia," Kennedy said. Rebecca Harris, vice chairman of the board, asked Grimsland to submit a cost benefit analysis to the board while the legality of funding isbeing checked out. A show-cause order of sorts has been issued by the Academic Council to a self-study project at Western. The council, which serves as the certification and evaluation board for allclasses offered for undergraduate credit, requested at its Tuesday meeting that a self-study projectadministered t h r o u g h Residence Hall Programs show why Western credit should be given forstudents enrolled in it. The council's action was prompted by some students getting Western credit foruse of Whatcom Communiversity classes as a resource for their independent studies. The discussioncentered around the question of giving credit for a classes outside of Western. "Council has neverpurposely said that it wanted to offer academic credit for activities of this type, which are essentiallyexperience," Joseph Crook, council member, said. "Should this kind of activity receive academic creditof the same type as a history course does?" Ray Romine, associate dean of students, who wasattending the meeting for the self-study project, said it is a bit late to review the project. "We havecontracted in good faith with the students, going through what we thought were the proper channels,"Dean Romine said. "We have a written contract with the U.S. Office of Theft sobers hopeful drinkers The 18-year-old drinking initiative is dead. After gathering thousands of signatures, spending countlesshours and hundreds of dollars, initiative 262 met its end July 7 when the car carrying the petitions to theSecretary of State's office in Olympia was stolen from the front of the initiative headquarters in Seattle.David Huey, a Western student and organizer of the initiative drive, said the theft of the petitionsoccurred while he was inside getting more signatures to add to the 100,000 already in the car. Hueysaid that when the theft was discovered they immediately contacted their attornies who told them tonotify the news media so the public would be looking for the stolen car. The car, which carried theinitiative that would have lowered the drinking age to 18 in Washington, was found on the outskirts ofRenton with a note that said, "Fuck you 262." Huey said the issue was taken to the courts after the theft but the motion to allow the initiative to be placed on the ballot was turned down. "There was someprecedent for placing the issue on the ballot," he said, "because of an initiative theft a few years agothat did go to the voters. But that initiative was stolen from the Secretary of State's office and apreliminary count of signatures had already been taken." All legal recourse has now been exhaustedHuey said, but there is hope the legislature will see fit to act on the measure. "A poll taken by theRainier brewery showed the initiative would have passed by 52 per cent and that should give thelegislators something to think about," Huey commented. As for Huey, he said he too was exhausted and did not plan to participate in another initiative drive for the time being. Education (through whom theself-study program is funded), and frankly if the decision was to kill the project, it would have put ourproject in kind of a tail spin." Dean Romine said the project needed endorsement at this time becausethis is the last year it will be funded through the U.S. Office of Education grant. The self-study projectcoordinators were requested to present their case at one of the regular meetings during the next twoweeks, and Whatcom Communiversity was requested to stop advertising that Western credit wasavailable for its classes. Students needed for committees If you want to shape campus policy on suchthings as parking, s t u d e n t r i g h t s and responsibilities and admissions, 18 committees fromAcademic Council to Student Publications need members. Associated Students is seeking students toserve on the a l l - c o l l e g e government committees, which determine Western policy. Studentsselected serve for one year. The meetings of committees vary, from once every two weeks to once ayear. Contact the Associated Students in VU 227 for more information. Saturday bus to Mall offeredPeople who want to go down to the Bellingham Mall on Saturdays can do it on the bus. Starting thisSaturday, a Bellingham City Transit bus will run on the hour between the mall, the campus and the main bus terminal. The former bus route did not include service directly back to the college. The cost for the service is a quarter. ---------- Western Front - 1972 October 13 - Page 3 ---------- â€¢Fri'dayy October'13; 1!972 Western'Front 3 Counselors added to center staff Two new counselorshave been added to the counseling center staff, allowing the center to work more in the areas of careerand vocational planning. The positions were opened when a full-time professor retired, and twocounselors took half-time teaching positions. The new counselors, David York and Dana Jack, werehired on a one-year basis as full-time counselors. York is completing his graduate work at the University of Washington and Jack is trained as a social worker. Although York will be working with students onan individual basis, he will also lead two counseling groups. One will be a form of encounter group, andthe other will deal with relaxation training. Relaxation training is a form of self-hypnosis in which aperson learns to enter a state of hypnosis by concentrating on his body's feelings. A person would startby experiencing a feeling of heaviness and warmth and then concentrating, on a part of his body like hisheartbeat. This method is used to deal with physical problems which have an emotional basis, likeheadaches or inability to sleep. "If a person is relaxed he can 'Ms.' editors will speak in Seattle Twonational leaders of the feminist movement, Gloria Steinem and Margaret Sloan, will speak on the EqualRights Amendment this weekend in Seattle. Founder of the National Women's Political Caucus and aneditor of Ms. magazine, Steinem has written and worked for Cesar Chevez, Robert Kennedy, EugeneMcCarthy and George McGovern. Sloan, also an editor of Ms! magazine, is active in women's rights and civil rights. She marched with Martin Luther King for open housing, investigated poverty in Illinois on ahunger task force and campaigned against lead poisoning in Chicago. Steinem is on the New Yorkadvisory board of the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the Democratic Policy Council. Thespeaking schedule for Friday is: 9:45 a.m. in the Rainier Room at the Seattle Center, 5 p.m. in theYMCA and 8 p.m. in the lecture pavilion at the University of Washington. On Saturday at 6:30 p.m. they will speak in the Grand Ballroom in the Olympia Hotel. The Women's Political Caucus is sponsoring the women as part of their campaign for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

Yorkcombines relaxation training with counseling. "People can't handle their problems if they're so anxiousthey can't concentrate." Relaxation training is also done on a one-to-one basis. Dana Jack, althoughtrained as a social worker, will be doing full-time counseling at the center. "The training is very similar,but you learn extra things from social work. You learn more about the social systems and socialproblems." Jack is interested in Gestalt therapy-helping people get in touch with their feelings andemotions. She's interested in helping people to overcome their fear of their emotions. "People in collegedeal so intellectually with their problems they forget how to deal with their emotions." Helping womenwith their self-expression and their self-realization is also one of Jack's interests. She would like to helpfacilitate self-realization in women. She is involved with a group which will begin next quarter to helpwomen explore careers and alternative careers open to them. events TODAY A KPUG Dance will beheld in the VU Lounge from 9 to 12 p.m. "Abbott and Costello Meet.

Henifin'sbackhoe man ripped through the 5,350 volt service cable and caused power outage in the Viking Unioncomplex, the Music Auditorium Building and the music annex (formerly the president's house). Collegespokesmen have said that bills would be sent to the contractor Wick Construction Co., who wouldprobably turn around and send the bills to Henifin. Henifin said that Wick had nothing to do with theincident. Campus architect Bob Aegerter said that the college does not know the total cost of the mishap yet. However, the new cable cost about $1,100. The three cables lengths were each 75 feel long. Theareas were without power from 11:20 a.m. to 8 p.m., when Totem Electric of Tacoma completed therepair work.. Aegerter said that the incident occurred when the backhoe man was removing a steam lineno longer in use, but was working in the wrong area. He said that the area where the cable was laid wassupposed to be dug up by hand. Saga food services is one area which lost money. Housing directorPete Coy said that Saga lost revenue from the coffee shop, the Deli and the coffee denâ€”all in the Viking Unionâ€”but did not know how much. These areas had to be closed. .AARDVARK Books l Art; 3DOORS SOUTH,OF SHAKEY'S ON N. STATE ST.

Now in his late 30's, Gaskin started taking psychedelic drugs while teaching at San Francisco State College. He usedLSD and peyote in his search for "truth". Gaskin has gotten away from psychedelics and now uses, ashe labels them, "organics." Gaskin now prefers to "get it together on a physical plane. Truth is thesame as God," he says, "and truth can get you high." Stephen and the Farm Band will be coming toFairhaven from performances in San Francisco and Seattle.

Admission to the session is free. byJAMES HEITZMAN For most students fall is a time to hit the classroom again, but several Westernstudents are spending Fall quarter in Europe through Munger JJntours. Bill Munger, his wife Judy andpsychology senior Dale Peterson joined together to make Untours a corporation this fall. The Mungersare resident directors of Ridgeway Delta. Munger began organizing Munger Untours this spring andsummer when 25 young people went to Europe on three tours. Most of the travelers were Westernstudents. The fall tour will cover Germany, Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. Thestudents began the tour on Oct. 1, after flying from Vancouver, B.C., to Amsterdam. Last week they were in Munich attending the Octoberfest. Students from Western are Megan Smith, Gina Detwiler, MichelleBougie, Marchelle Johnson and Chip Kohr. At the end of the tour both Bougie and Johnson plan to stayin Europe. Bougie will work in Germany, and Johnson plans to join a kibbutz in Israel. The tour leader isWarner Curl, a non-student. In January Munger has arranged for a group of 10 Dutch citizens to travel toNorth America. The group will include both students and older people. Munger said the tour will start inVancouver, B.C., followed by a drive along the Pacific coast. He said the itinerary will include Bellingham, and the tour may extend as far south as Mexico. The group plans at least to go as far south, as LosAngeles. Also this Winter quarter Munger is arranging a tour of Southern Europe and North Africa and atour of Central America. Munger Untours utilizes campgrounds for accommodations in place of hotels. Agroup is provided with a rented nine-passenger van, tents and cooking gear. The tour price coverseverything except food, souvenirs and personal expenses. He allows each group to ' devise its ownitinerary. In 1971, the Mungers made a trial run in Europe with a group to see if the plan was practical.Nine people comprised the group, and all but one were Western students. At the time, the Mungers were graduate students at Western. Besides arranging tours, Munger said Untours can help any travelingstudent with passport photos, international student identification, customs information and anything elsethe student needs to travel.

NBC ---------- Western Front - 1972 October 13 - Page 5 ---------- i-nday, October 13, 1972 Western Front the _ ujestern front editorials The giant who squeaks When theAll-College Senate was formed, the biggest complaint coming from the students was a lack ofrepresentation. Seems the students felt they didn't have a big enough voice in the college government.Now the envisioned big voice has narrowed down to a squeak. Not because the faculty or theadministration has ganged up on the students and decided not to place students on Western's governingbody; rather because most of the 13 students in the senate never show up for meetings. Of course therewas the typical rush to get to meetings when the senate first started. But after it was discovered by thestudent senators that the senate takes its time to discuss and debate issues instead of using the "Do itNow" philosophy so beloved by student politicians, interest began to drop. Interest has dropped to sucha point that at the first senate meeting this year the chairman announced several student vacancies hadto be filled; some of which had been empty for over six months. But the student apathy problem is notunique to the senate. There are committees all over campus which cannot function because they lackstudent members. And these are committees which make decisions touching students' lives every day.But if students are not willing to take the time to serve, then they shouldn't bitch so loudly when theirtoes get stepped on. letters Student rip-offs rip off students Editor, Western Front "Thou shalt not steal" I am gravely concerned over all the shoplifting that has occurred during the first week, at taxpayers' -expense, tuition expense, boarders' expense and our own expense. It has occurred in the bookstore,dining halls, coffee shops and every other place on campus. Why do you do it? It is a big criminal actyou are engaged in. It is also a costly one in many forms, including higher tuition, higher security help,higher taxes, and higher boarding rates. Saga spent over $10,000 on silverware alone last year. Studentsspent an overwhelming amount of money to replace goods left on shelves sometimes for only twominutes. The Bookstore loss was over $40,000 and was passed on to you as higher prices and lowertextbook rebates. Faculty, staff and students have been shoplifting from offices all over campus. The AShad an electric typewriter stolen earlier this year, meaning higher tuition rates for us. Notepaper, pensand other office supplies, which are supplied by the state, have been taken from offices at taxpayers'expense. Due to these and other shoplifting activities, the services, bookstore and saga have securitymen. No one wants higher costs passed on to them in the above or any other form, such as wastedpaper cups, as recently happened early this week in the Viking Commons when they ran out of glasses. Students, staff and faculty, why do you do it? Next time think, think, above all think! It is a majorsetback morally as well as financially to WWSC. This is why I felt compelled to write this letter. We canstop all shoplifting and reduce costs only if we resolve to stop it and report it to police as soon as we see it take place. My resolution 1972-73: reduce shoplifting altogether to $00.00. How? By carefullymanaging my money and possessions, no borrowing or loaning without a written contract and returninggoods after use, calling security at the first sight of something missing, calling police at sight ofconcealed goods, and most important, thinking about implications before action and resolving not to steal anything ($00.00). Let's all get in on this resolution and boost our morality as individuals and as acollege. And last but not least, make it harder, by locking your doors, watching out and reminding othersof possible implications, and finally reminding each other you're watching out. And lastly, take fulladvantage of lost and found dept., V.U. Information desk. Each year many goods are never picked up asthe lost and found sale will reveal. Many other goods are -picked up, but never returned to their ownerswho have spent many dollars to replace these items. When you find an item, have the honesty to turn inthe item to the V.U. desk.

In Bellingham, 350 McGovernites crowded intothe downtown Democratic headquarters throughout the evening to pay their dollars and eat their beans.Meanwhile, â€”George McGovern appeared on national television and outlined a seven-step plan forpeace in southeast Asia; â€”Republicans across the country paid up to $1,000 a plate at Nixon dinners;â€”Tuesday's Bellingham Herald editorially backed Nixon. The Herald endorsement, as it says itself,"comes as no surprise" to regular Herald readers. That paper has consistently been a leader inpropagating the "McGovern is a radical" press myth. The editorial had little or no effect on the bean dinner. Surrounded by McGovern posters, banners and paraphernalia, the diners felt a treasured refuge from theinsane "four more years" chant now taken up by the Herald. And although the McGovern crowd-despiteits enthusiasmâ€”never forgot that its candidate is the underdog, a "peanuts" poster on the wall reminded them "How can we lose if we're so sincere." The high-priced Republican dinnersâ€”wherever they were-undoubtedly generated a great deal of monetary ammunition for the Nixon cause. But the thought of well-dressed, well-bred, well-fed Republicans sitting around burping at each other, added significantly to theenthusiasm at the bean dinner. It added the realization that across the country, there are many morepeople (votes) eating beans than there are eating steak. At 7:30 p.m., with most of the food gone andmost of the people fed, a louder television and softer voices signaled the start of McGovern's broadcast.The crowd felt somewhat apprehensiveâ€”yielding to a medium usually associated with Nixon. McGovern's popularity does not stem from his speech-making, and the Democrats have virtually no televisionexperience compared to the media geniuses that create and sell the Nixon image. There was also thefear that any McGovern mistake, however slight, would be pounced on by the press. The bean dinersremembered the "Come home, America" acceptance speech, which immediately resulted in McGovernbeing labeled an "ostrich" and "isolationist." This speech, however, was a genuine shot in the arm for allMcGovernites. Instead of the fuzzy, meaningless rhetoric associated with politicians, McGovern spelledout his seven-step peace plan, hitting Nixon hard for not keeping the promise of peace. McGovern was"perfectly clear" in his stand on the Thieu government that Nixon is supporting. He said General Thieu is"not worth one more American dollar, one more American prisoner, one more drop of American blood."He blasted Nixon's attempt to end the war through "decisive military action." This, McGovern said, hasproven ineffective through 30 years of fighting in Vietnam. McGovern appealed to the American people ona rational levelâ€”telling in pure numbers how many lives the Vietnam War has taken; on an emotionallevelâ€”reminding people of the children that have been burned by American napalm; and on a morallevelâ€”saying that it's time to "save the soul" of America. Finally, McGovern's most powerful argumentcame from the words of Nixon himself: "Those who have had a chance for four years and could notproduce peace,"â€”Nixon said four years agoâ€”"should not be given another chance." Mind yourmanners yourself, Emily Post the _ western Editor, Western Front: Representing the "stooges" thatwork in the campus mailroom we would like to reply to the "Emily Post" who got upset at our lack toinclude "please" before a change of address note. To begin, the point of the letter was absurd. We atthe mailroom handle over a quarter of the total mail traffic for Bellingham. Our foremost responsibility isto see that the mail gets through, as it did in Mr. Bockhorst's case. However, it would be completelyridiculous if we were to be concerned with offending each person we forward mail to. In the first place, we were doing this person a service by forwarding his mail. In the second place, the neglect of hundreds of students, like Bockhorst, to change their address with the registrar floods the mailroom with forwardingeach summer. These facts Mr.- Bockhorst obviously failed to look into. Finally, it seems odd that aperson so concerned with common courtesy would publically refer to the employees of the mailroom as"low caliber" and "stooges". Or is common courtesy only a one-way proposition? Possibly Mr.Bockhorst and others like him should take a few minutes to discover the real reasons behind a situationbefore running off at the mouth.

OK.'s Korner The problem with people by O. K. Johnson,sports editor Gillette Company Pap'e'rMate Division Â©'1972' During the last week or so, the wrestlingteam of this college came out with a statement to the physical education department that they will notparticipate in intercollegiate wrestling this winter unless coach is hired. To this, Margret Aitken, directorof the physical education department, said Western will field a team as far as the administration isconcerned. It appears that irregardiess of what Aitken says, unless a coach is hired, the wrestlers will not be turning out. The administration will then have the problem of finding some bodies to put on the mats ifthey want to fulfill their plans of fielding a team. In last Friday's Front, we ran an article saying thewrestlers were threatening to quit. We got the administration's side of why no coach had been hired.Tuesday, we ran the wrestler's side of the story. During those interviews, certain questions, informationand accusations were brought up. Many of these questions warranted response from the administration,namely Aitken, athletic director Boyde Long and William Bultmann, acting provost. We tried to reachLong six different times Sunday evening, but he could not be contacted. We did, however, contact Aitkenby phone, but she declined to answer any questions saying, "I've already answered enough questionsalready. I'm unable to talk now, I have guests waiting." Bultmann was questioned Sunday evening andcleared up some of the problems the wrestlers thought were associated with him. They thought Bultmann had deceived them on the possibility of hiring a coach. Bultmann told the Front all he does is approve job applications and does not decide who is to fill a position. Bultmann also told Aitken that she could fill thetwo positions in the department that were vacated. One of those positions to be filled was vacated byLanny Bryant, last year's wrestling coach. The wrestlers said Long had talked to Bultmann and thatBultmann said there still was an open position. A day or so later, the wrestlers found out the spot hadbeen filled and thought Bultmann was responsible. The reason the wrestlers gave for saying Bultmannhad deceived them was that they thought Bultmann knew the team had a chance to hire a coach andnow that chance was gone since the position was filled. When Bultmann said there was an opening, hewas telling the truth. When Aitken told him she had found someone to fill the position, all he could dowas either approve it or reject it. He had no part in choosing who fills a particular position. The wrestlersalso said that one position was filled without Long knowing about it, they said Long had told this to onemember of the team. Long and Aitken were unable to be reached at that time to either confirm or refutethe statement. At the end of spring quarter last year, the wrestlers were informed by Bryant, before heleft, that Aitken told him she would try to find them a coach. The wrestlers left school for summer vacation confident , a replacement would be made. When they returned, no coach. They started asking questions and were unhappy that no acceptable answers, or any answers at all, were being given. What the entiresituation seems to boil down to, is that the administration of the P.E. department has had opportunities to fill the position with a coach who can hot only wrestle, but also take over the teaching duties handled byLanny Bryant. As it stands now, Bryant's "teaching replacement" is unacceptable to the wrestlers. Theyalso turned down an offer by Aitken of having a person as a supervisor. One wrestler said that this personcan't even teach fundamentals very well. With many unanswered questions by the administration, Isuspect something is being hid. One reason for this is, Monday afternoon I got a phone call from the P.E. department asking me not to run the story. Evidently it is permissible to print one side of a story, but God help you if you print the other guy's side. The other reason, is the attempt made by the Front to find outadditional information on the firing of Dr. William Tomaras, whom Long has replaced as athletic director.Nobody at the P.E. department is answering questions concerning the Tomaras firing. What is really sad, is that if the administration would have taken the time to sit down and talk straightforward to the wrestlers and some sort of communication was set up on applicants and possible applicants for the coaching job,the whole problem might have been solved. By refusing to answer questions the wrestlers and the Frontasked, Aitken has put herself in an unenviable position. Unfortunately for the wrestling team, they stilldon't have a coach. It is too bad that we will probably lose wrestling over a lack of communication. ---------- Western Front - 1972 October 13 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, October 13, 1972 Western .Front,- 7-; First victory ? Western to host PSU Western's footballteam will be attempting to shake off the effects of last weeks upset to Eastern Oregon and break intothe win column tomorrow night a g a i n s t Portland State University. The Vikings, now 0-3 for theseason and 0-2 in conference play, have been plagued by mistakes throughout their games and may bemaking major adjustments to correct them. The first move may be at the quarterback position whereeither Tom Leuhman or Jay Overway could get the starting nod over Marshal Torre. Torre hasquarterbacked the Viking's last three games and has thrown 10 interceptions. Another move may be atone of the safety positions where Olympic Junior College transfer, Bob Fojtik may be starting. Fojtikplayed most of the second half against Eastern Oregon. Boyde Long, head football coach, has beentaking a hard look at his team's performance and has admitted some changes are in order. "We can'tlet things continue as they have," Long said. Portland State is a young team under a new head coachthis year. The Oregonians are Front Forecast Viks, Dogs picked to win Like the old football coach whokept saying "just run that play until you get it right," the Front sports seers again go with Western'sgridders as they look for win number one. A unanimous choice for Western's Vikings over Portland State's Vikings in tomorrow's game leads this week's picks, along with a slightly shakey and hesitant vote forthe Washington Huskies in their first crucial game of the year, against Stanford. Howard Scott and KentSherwood chose the Dogs, but 0. K. Johnson went with the home team Indians-er, Cardinals. In othergames, all agreed on every contest except the Washington State-Oregon game, with Scott taking theDucks and the other two laying bets on the Cougars of WSU. Last week the three came up with a 70 percent mark (seven out of ten). Johnson and Sherwood incorrectly chose Western over Eastern Oregon,Eastern Washington over Southern Oregon and Oregon College over Whitworth. Scott missed theWestern-EOC, OCE-Whitworth and Oregon State-Arizona State games, wrongly picking the Beavers, who lost 38-7 to ASU. Going into tomorrow's games, Sherwood still leads the staff with a 77.2 per centaccuracy figure while Johnson and Scott both have a 72.7 mark after two weeks.

The chief running threat is fullback Hal Phillips, a 6'4", 230 pound transfer from theUniversity of San Francisco. Defensively, Portland State is not highly regarded.

It wasn't brick, and therewasn't a paved playground surrounding it. The rambling white house sits back from 21st Street, hugetrees shading the hilly, green front lawn. About 25 young people attend this school run by the Harrisfamily. Mrs. Rosemary Harris is the director of the "an alternative in 'education' school. Her husband,Howard Harris, is a professor of sociology at Western. There are no grades in this school of childrenfrom ages 5 through 18. Children study at their own pace, and most studying is done in mixed agegroups. "That is the value of our school," Mrs. Harris said. "It is a flexible system. The slower childrenaren't ashamed of their progress, and the quicker ones aren't bored by having to wait for the others."Both Harris and his wife are from High school students participating in a French lessons with Jean MarcDorizon, a native of France. Rich Collingwood photos Quaker backgrounds, and have dedicatedthemselves to the philosophy of non-violence. This philosophy is reflected in their school. "It is deeplyspiritually, religiously based, but no child coming here would have any one religion pushed on him. Weare not a parochial school in that sense," Mrs. Harris said. The non-violence is mirrored in their "positive, peaceful resolution of conflict. The only reason people fight" Mrs. Harris said, "is because they don'tunderstand each other." "When conflicts do arise here, and they do, they are dealt with withunderstanding, and no one goes away the loser." The Rufus Jones School is an accredited school. Thefour seniors who graduated last May joined a sizeable, ever-growing group of alumni. Children from as far away as Hawaii and Ohio attend the school. "About the nameâ€”everybody asks that," Mrs. Harrislaughed. "Rufus Jones was a philosopher at Haveford College in Philadelphia. One story I like toremember him for is that it is said that whenever he was feeling upset with the world, he would go thenext door neighbors and borrow their baby to hold. After holding the baby for awhile, everything wouldseem all right somehow. Anyway, the school is named after him." The school has been operating about 20 years, five of those years in Bellingham. Seven teachers are employed by the school. Four of thoseseven, themselves graduates of the Rufus Jones School, are the Harris' Teacher Marcia Tolva plays aphonetics game called "spin a sound" with the younger students at the school. children, Stephen,Heather, Holly and David. The children receive instruction in class, seminar and individual situations. Inaddition to their regular classes in history, math, and English, the children's studies include a widevariety of classes such as anthropology, nutrition and textiles. On one afternoon, a history class wasdiscussing John Brown in the front hallway, the middle-schoolers were off helping build the playground for the Fairhaven co-op nursery and one of the younger Harris boys who is still in school was emergingfrom the workshop with a wooden spindle he had just finished for his sisters' textiles and weaving class. Applications are still be considered for this term. Tuition is charged, Mrs. Harris explained, but it is on asliding scale so that anyone who really wants to can afford to come to the school. Von Dyk, Hayesdiscuss fox reform, hitchhiking, youth by HOWARD SCOTT This year's contest for the Position 2 seat in the 42nd Legislative District is a race between young men. The incumbent, freshman Democrat DanVan Dyk, is 29-years-old. His Republican opponent, Craig Hayes is 26. Van Dyk, a Lynden area dairyfarmer who first went to Olympia in 1970, outpolled Hayes in the Sept. 19 primary by 3,500 votes.Hayes, a Bellingham attorney, has often helped Western students with legal problems. During the lastsession of the legislature, Van Dyk won support from many young people when he helped engineer thepassage of Washington's current hitchhiking law. Despite current pressure against the measure VanDyk still holds his pro-thumbing stand, saying "Nobody forces you to hitchhike, nobody forces you topick someone up. "I don't think the state can take away the citizens' option to hitchhike," he says. ,While agreeing that hitchhiking should remain legal despite the "vast hue and cry against it," Hayeswould like to see more protection for the hitchhiker. "I think a registration program where hitchhikerswould be issued cards would be good," he says. Under Hayes' idea, when a hitchhiker registered hewould tell which direction he was headed and how long he planned to be gone. Law enforcementagencies would then be able to act quickly if the hiker became overdue. Both candidates say that taxesare the most important issue in the 1972 campaign. "We have the most outdated tax structure in all the50 states," says Hayes who would favor doing away with property taxes and special levies for schooldistricts. "I want to see a tax system that is more progressive than the one we have now, such as anincome tax," he says. "Those who are able to pay are the ones who should do the paying of taxes,"Hayes says. Van Dyk lists three first steps to tax reform in his campaign: property tax relief, full fundingof schools and no special levies for school operations. "By providing full state funding for schools, wecould eliminate the need for special levies," Van Dyk says. "To relieve property taxes we must have anincome tax," he says. "However we can't shift the business tax onto the individual." , Any kind of incometax adopted cannot raise the total tax on middle and low income people, Van Dyk says. "I like thecompromise tax package that was killed by the house Republican caucus this summer," he said. "That's the sort of thing we need." The package called for an overall reduction in taxes for anyone making lessthan $14,000 per year and a net increase for persons in higher income brackets. "I would also like to see the sales tax taken off of food and drugs," Van Dyk says. Of special importance to Hayes is spendingreform in Washington. "I'm a conservative when it comes to spending. This state needs to have propermanagement of its spending programs." At present, Hayes says, the average wage earner is being hurtmore by taxes than the recipients of tax benefits are being helped. One approach to tax reform that thetwo candidates differ on is closing tax loopholes. Van Dyk supported a constitutional amendmentrequiring elimination of all loopholes now in the state code and periodic review of any new exemptions. Ifpassed by the voters this amendment would force the legislature to hold public hearings before anyexemptions could become effective. Hayes agrees that tax exemptions must be reviewed, but he saysthe legislature took the "chicken way out" by proposing to drop all exemptions at once. "They should gothrough the books and review each exemption on its own merits," Hayes says. Wiping out all exemptions and having to wait to replace them on the books would hurt groups now holding tax breaks such as theelderly, Hayes says. A one-by-one review of loopholes sounds like a good idea, incumbent Van Dyksays, "But look at the history of what's happened before." Special interest groups have killed mostexemption reviews in committee before, Van Dyk says. Both young candidates are conscious of the new youth vote. "It's extremely important for young people to get actively involved in the elections," Van Dyksays. "Students should check the candidates carefully," Hayes says. Issues forum questionsdisclosure initiative Whether or not Initiative 276, disclosure of campaign financing, will be ruledunconstitutional was the main topic of debate at the issues forum Tuesday. Joe Brennan, who said herepresented himself but was in the employ of Seattle First National Bank as a lobbyist, indicated he feltthe initiative would be ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme court immediately after passage becausethere were too many topics in it. The initiative covers disclosure and limitation of campaign financing,lobbyist reporting, reporting of elected Officials' financial affairs, access t o public records andadministration and enforcement. Mike Hildt, on leave from Seattle First National Bank and working forthe Coalition for Open Government, said he felt the initiative was within the bounds of the constitution.Hildt said the issue was not the constitutionality of the initiative but a well-informed and protectedelectorate. He said the Coalition for Open government had decided that since the legislature wasn'tgoing to do anything about campaign disclosures an initiative should be started. The main point of theinitiative is to bring the finances and campaign expenditures of politicians and lobbyists out into the open so the public can decide whether there has been misuse, he said. The result of the federal legislation,which allows anonymous contributions up to $100, has been pyramiding, Hildt said. Brennan saidInitiative 276 would permit the same kind of pyramiding by allowing contributions up to $5 to remainanonymous. He said Referendums 24 and 25, which he is supporting, were riot perfect but were a startin the right direction. The referendums deal with l o b b y i s t s and campaign financing and werereferred to the voters from the last session of the legislature. Brennan said if Initiative 276 were thrownout it would be better to have the referendums to fall back on than the old laws. When asked what would happen if both the referendums and the initiative pass, Brennan and Hildt, after a minor discussion,agreed that the initiative would prevail if it were not ruled unconstitutional. Public relations sessionplanned The Student Services Council is planning to work in conjunction with the counseling center in aworkshop to acquire experience in public relations. The counseling center has offered their time and anyhelp necessary to provide the different student services with skills in interpersonal relations. Some ofthe things member of the council said they and their volunteers need help in are: setting people ateaseT" interviewing techniques, group interaction and tunnel vision. The workshop is tentativelyscheduled for sometime later this month. The council feels the sooner the better. It will either be a day-long intensive concentration or a weekend of semi-encounter workshops.

JimHamilton looks on. NOW WITH HORSE: The pressures of the weeks of rehearsal, set construction, and horse hunting were released last night in the first performance of "Shenandoah." Dianne McCormackand Jim Walker hold the major leads in this three-day production of the Civil War drama, with Jo AnnPrincen, Jim Hamilton, Adelle McGilliard, and Ted Fiorito also playing important roles. The story of"Shenandoah" consists mainly of the romance between the Southern Gertrude Ellingham (DianneMcCormack) and the Northern Kerchival West (Jim Walker), and the conflicts and complicationsarising from the war. Director Paul Wadleigh re- Lecture On Art Here Monday Canadian Artist JackShiad- Ibolt, head of the drawing and painting section of the Vancouver School of Art, will give an artlecture and demonstration Monday at 8:15 p. m. in the auditorium. Shadbolt will use a 4 foot by 5 footcanvas to demonstrate the transfer from nature to painting abstraction and to show how motifs areextracted from experience, synthesized and how they later emerge as ingredients of new paintings.Shadbolt, who studied art in London, Paris and New York, is represented in the Natoinal Gallery ofCanada and the art galleries of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Victoria and others. He isalso represented in the Northwest Section of the Pine Arts Pavilion at the Seattle World's Fair. He hasexhibited in a number of international exhibitions and painted in Prance, Italy and Greece. Much of his work has been influenced by his two years in the Mediterranean. Shadbolt was awarded the Canadian Government Overseas Fellowship in 1957 and the Guggenheim International Award for Canada in1958. ports with some glee that a horse has finally been procured for use in the play. His name is Chico and he's from Seattle. Chico is hauled to the auditorium each,evening and is tethered outside thestage door. He is brought onto the stage just before each entrance. Set director Paul Waldo hascarpeted the stage just off the set to_ muffle the sound of the horses hooves. Wadleigh said he ispleased to have the horse primarily to further his attempt at an exact reproduction of the show as it wasseen in 1889. "The horse continues the tradition of a very effective gimmick used during the period thisplay was produced," Wadleigh said. "People loved to see a horse in action on the stage." He addedthat "to cut out the horse would be to cut out a very important feature of 19th Century drama." SHOW A "SPECTACULAR" In commenting about the audience reaction to the play, Wadleigh said that, whenwritten, "Shenandoah" filled the need that television and movies fill today. "We will probably never see this type of show written for the stage again," Wadleigh said," "because today this writing has beeritaken over toy movie spectaculars, which can do the job much .better." ACTORS HAVE PROBLEMWadleigh said; that the type of acting involved in "Shenandoah" is very demanding because of its19th Century style. "They are speaking a language that "sounds" like today's language," Wadleighsaid,, "but when you consider how rapidly all but the most obvious meanings change, it is actually adifferent language, especially regarding conotations, idiomatic meanings, and terms ofendearment." Wadleigh pointed out that the problem is made more difficult for the actors becausewords which seem to have reference and meaning in today's language and sound strange to modernears do so because it is actually the language of 75 years ago. "This has meant," Wadleigh concluded,"that the actors have had to get an idea of cultural attitudes of the period in which the._ play was writtenin order to present the dialogue clearly." Publicity agents for the show reported a very satisfactoryattendance at the opening last night and said that even larger audiences are expected at the morepopular showings tonight and tomorrow, Tickets are still on sale in the box office in the lobby of theMusic Building. Chem. Chairman 'Home Again' In New Position The new chairman of the ChemistryDepartment at Western feeis he is "home again" after sampling a number of positions in bothindustry and education. Dr. Andrew Frank, who took over the six-man department a week ago after 11years of research work and teaching, said in a recent interview that the job "is the one I've beenheading for."- Dr. Frank earned his PhD in chemistry from- the University of Illinois in 1951, followed it with a teaching position lat Tulene for a year, then went to work as a research chemist for the RawMaterials Development Laboratory, a facility of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Dr. Raymond Ciszek, chairman of the Men'sPhysical Education Department, said " he is very pleased with the selection of the two men. "We thinkthat these have been very excellent choices/* Ciszek said. Ciszek said that the fact that the men havenot coached in college before will make no difference, and that they should have no trouble adapting to college coaching. If approved, both men will arrive at Western about the first of September.Canadian Pro: Challenges 50 One of Canada's leading chess players, Dr. Nathan J. Divinsky, willchallenge 50 people to simultaneous games of" chess Thursday at 7 p. m. in the main lounge of theViking Union. Anyone who brings a chess board and men can get in on the mammoth tourney.

Of course, the situation above is exaggerated.Nevertheless, the curiosity surrounding thÂ§ move of Western's disheveled infirmary to sparklingnelvV environs manages to break the tranquil surface of a peaceful summer at the college. The presentinfirmary is strategically located behind the Campus School in a building that many term,the remains ofa Spanish-American War pillbox saved especially for its historical value. Its peak capacity is 12 to 14bedsâ€”14 when the creek is low; 12 when the basement fills. When the location is changed the newcapacity will be 21. With the new facilities in the lower floor of Edens (where the nurse's office movedwhen it had the chance) the infirmary will take on new distinction as part of Western. As it is, visitorsneatly sidestep the area with comments such as, "My, I thought they were all indoors!" _. Ajccording toMrs. Summers, nurse in charge of both the dispensary and the inf|rjOrfary, attempts will be made to seethat ^erything is prepared to accommo-datjejI^ U^quarter students. Under the new arrangement thedispensary and the infirmary will not be separated as they have been in the past. All in all, a definiteimprovement has keen accomplished with the building change. Returning students can be assured ofa pleasant surprise when they find that the old infirmary is being used for something besides a refuge forthe sick and helpless. As a closing note, one must realize that Mrs. Summers has been living with theold facilities for eleven years, and various faculty members have seen the ancient relict for many years.For students the ageless infirmary has given most the courage to stay healthy under any circumstances.

Among hisaccomplishments were the introduction of instrumental procedures at Water-town which have sincebecome standard in the laboratory. He also helped improve both the quality and the character ofinstruction in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Denver, where he taught in thegraduate college. Dr. Frank said he was very favorably impressed with the faculty in his department andwith the quality of the program. "Western has a very respectable past," he commented, "but its futurelooks tremendous-even exciting." Dr. Frank added that the existing science facilitiesâ€”one of thethings that impressed him most when he first visited Western last March â€” are; better "than those in at least two major universities with which I have been associated." "Obviously, we'll outgrow, ourspace in the building in a relatively short period of time," he continued, noting that this would be withinfour or five years.

When we first started listening we were pleased to hear their active support of research into theproblems of peace and disarmament. But as time ran on their enthusiasm grew less and less, until bythe time of the high altitude blast over Johnston Island, the only question "raised concerned testing inspace, with no further mention of their abhorrence of testing on any ground. / '- gt;-. â‚¬n fight of oureditorial last week, the point to be made is that in general the pacifist movement has fallen flat. Nothinghas been accomplished by it, and no amount of public awareness has been achieved. And theconclusion we might arrive at from this point is that if pacifism is to survive, and if we are to keepourselves from slipping into a #otal disregard (if not general support) for our nation's testing craze, a newattempt must be,made to attack the problem on a different iff ont. ' / ' v ' $ ; ft'omising^ beginning toappear on the West Coast, the most active-(i| not the most effective) ohelefose by being the SeattlePeace Information Center located near the World's Fair. This attempt at a concentrated and unifiedprogram of public information and education, especially so close to the influx of people for the fair,indicates that .some in the peace movement have hegun to recognize its former limitations. But themost promising and r exciting new front is in the pacifist's direct concern with politics. Politicalcampaigns; by; pacifists have started in New York, Massachusetts and San Francisco, and the "peacelobby" in Washington, D. C, is making some headway. If, in the coming Congressional campaign,those concerned with the nation's nuclear future were to press candidates for specific statementsâ€”campaign promises if nothing elseâ€”on their positions on peace and disarmament, at least someknowledge of our politicians' concernâ€” and lack of concernâ€”for the bomb mania can be obtained.Then if people can still be made aware, and if votes still count, perhaps government policy makers can be elected who will do more than call for sacrifice and, once elected, make only overtures.

The place: the interior of the Ellingham residence in the Charleston, South Carolinaarea. Immediately after it is established that both "North" and "South" (The Wests and the Ellinghamsrespectively) are residing under the same roof, Fort Sumter is bombarded. This naturally makes thetwo families enemies. But there is miore to it than that. Kerchival West (Jim Walker) is in love with theSouthern Gertrude Ellingham (Dianne McCormack) and Robert Ellingham (Jim Hamilton) is in love with Madeline West (Jo Ann Princen). There is a wonderfully comic scene in which this information isbrought out. The story itself is quite a common one dealing with war: Boy already has Girl, war breaks out,. Boy goes to war, Boy gets wounded (Boy doesn't have . to get wounded, but always makes thestory more interesting if. he does), Boy survives, war ends,. Boy returns to ;Girl. Meanwhlie, Girl (in thiscase, Gertrude Elr lingham) is not sitting at-home waiting for the cessation of-hostilities, but is;actively particif pating- in the War and is-captured by Union Troops. Sgt. Bar-ket (Gary Bruno) bringsthe prisoner to Col. West to be. searched. This presents a delicate situation. Gen. Buckthorn (JimSimon) who moves with, almost Unbearable slowness arrives on the scene and offers to search theprisoner himself; but Kerchival soon puts him right about that. The last half of the third act is the mostmemorable of the whole play. Col.

ALBATROSS The college isprivileged this year to play host to the Hyper- Normality. Attainment Congress here during the workshopperiod. This group has chosen Western Sir its conclave .because our college has "the most healthymoral climate in the West." This is quite a compliment as the group has never before met west ofNebraska. We had the opportunity to interview Cedly Atavist, group spokesman for HNAC1, who;conveyed a rather profound statement concerning HNAC's reason for being. "Our group is attempting topreserve a way of life that would have had true meaning to our forebearers. There are those elementsin our society who would undermine hyper-normality attainment because they believe it to besymptomatic of out-moded social conditions. We stand as a bulwark against such shoddy opinions andcontribute wherever possible to a thorough normality attainment in the coming generations. "Theevil we fight is ah insidious one, so much so that rnany refuse to acknowledge its existence. Part ofour recent program has been dissemination of Truth about "The Evils of Beatnikism." One recent winnerof our 5000-word essay contest, from Clyde, Indiana, was awarded a scholarship to SouthwesternMissouri State Normal School. Qurl other winner from 'Miocene, Idaho, was granted a scholarship toWestern." HOPE "W6 like Bellingham and Western for its sensible' scope and vision. Many of our more pessimistic members feel that once a town grows past 15,000 Hyper-Normality becomes almostimpossible to transmit effectively. But here a town of 30,000 with a fast-growing college, and thecorruptive influences of Vancouver and Seattle, is doing a cnack-up job in seeing that people stillcontinue to see things right. Bellingham's example serves as the basis for our more "optimistic members contention that hyper-normality attainment can be re-won in the big cities. "Some crackpots think weare reactionary because we are against 'change.' Well, we aren't against change as such, we're againstthe average person's response to change. It takes a truly normalized person to undergo today'svariety of stimuli and still remain the same. Most of us aren't that perfect. Different things happen to us and around us* and pretty soon we start thinking funny things, and enjoying the unfamiliar, taking a'casual' attitude, whatever that is, and wondering about right and wrong. Of course, none of this is anygood. Because at heart we all want to be happy, like we we're when things were the same. "Thisresponse to change is viciousâ€”one of the typical patterns today's city youth fall into, THEVILLIANOUS Edward Thornton, played by Steve Buss, tries to attack Kerchival West (Jim Walker) in thisaction scene from "Shenandoah." Two of the thirty soldiers assist in bringing Thornton to bay. THEHORSE, a Seaiileize named Chico, steals the show in both the scene above, and the return of GeneralSheridan in the third act. particularly those around universities, is something we call the 'HELP'syndrome." â€¢ HELP "The name stands for 'Hysteric Environment L e a r n i ng Psychosis,' which is What these young people suffer from, particularly if they become urbanized while still in their teens. We think live jazz â€¢music and places where one can come into contact with those besides one'speers are especially inductive in that they expose youth to the permanent 'maniac' element. "Out of lackof social supervision and breakup of the old groups sooner or later the youth are almost forced intoseeking out things of which they have no previous experience.

HOLLY permissiveness towards 'difference' invades their thinking.Naturally all of us do different things in life, but they are not really different' since if we are healthy thedifferent things we do will be the same (in a given circumstance). These youngsters begin reading booksthat stress weird, untrue attitudesâ€”Russell,. Fromm, Camus, Sartre, Koestler, Kafka, M a i l e r ,Hemingway, Neitzche, Joyce, Orwell, instead of wholesome things like Plato, Milton, Dante, Tolstoy,Calvin, Peale, Churchill, Disney. "Soon they are overcome by the terrible variety of human experienceand become addicted to the sensate life. They feel compelled to 'make the changes,' whatever such asilly sounding thing could mean, and in doing so ensnare the innocent. Finally, their sensibilities jadedand with faith in nothing, they become the subversive enemies of decency and normalityeverywhere." . HEAL "Bellingham should be proud that it is the purest place of its size on the westcoast and that is why we have chosen you as a template for our future. We hope to start a center hereâ€” from which new missionaries of Hyper- Normality Attainment may emerge to combat the evils ofour disease ridden times." And thus Cedly Atavist, spokesman for HNAC, assured us that this Congress would be a very conventional one and thanked us for our sincere interest. He then proceded north, toan unspecified small town, where the movement is especially militant. Review Oi 'Shenandoah'(Continued from page 3) under arrest by Gen. Haverill (Ted Fiorito) so that Kerchival won't leave and thedoctor can care for him. Lt. Frank Bedloe (Dan Arringhon) is carried in on a stretcher whe^e he dictatesa "last message" to his wife; then he dies. Gen. Ha.verill arrives too late to speak to Frank (whom hedoesn't recognize as his son), and so supervises Frank's funeral procession. There follows perhaps thebest job Jim Walker does during the course of this production. One of his lines indicates his thinkingat the moment and he brings Gertrude around to his point of view (the line is being spoken to his sisterMadeline "Every woman's heart, the world over, belongs not to any country or any flag, but to herhusbandâ€” and her lover. Pray for the man you love, sisterâ€”it would be treason not to." The regiment(Kerchival's own) is retreating. He cannot stop them. The stream, of fugitives continue wearing roughuniforms, some limping and supported by others, some dragging their muskets, others withoutmuskets, others using them as crutches. There is a lull in the sounds of Ithe battleâ€”then cheers..General Sheridan is comingâ€”and he rides across the stage on a horse! The fourth act is inWashington D. C. at the residence of Gen. Haverill and his wife (Adelle McGilliard) which beginswith his accusing her of transferring her loyalty to another man and ends with sudden, realization ofwho his son was. Here the performances of both Adelle and Ted Fiorito are very well done. The play has its comic characters too: Jenny Buckthorn (Nadine Person), a young girl who wishes she were aman; Capt. Heartsease (Larry Ham-den), who's glad she's not; Bar-ket (Gary Bruno), the Irish Sargeant, who has been quarrelling for many years with the Irish maid, Old Margery (Lorri Boothe). All in all,the cast does very well and Director Paul Wad-well and Technical Director Bob Waldo are to becommended.

Student Talent Show To Be Next Week "Student talent tryouts are being held now for the show to be presented Friday, November 21, at the regular student assembly," statedPaul Dodsworth, ASB vice president. "The show should prove to be an interesting and entertainingprogram." Any type of act or routine may be presented, and prizes are offered. The acts will be judgedby an applause- meter. The first tryouts were held Wednesday, and further announcements fortryout times and winners will be in the official bulletin. Another talent program will be held later in theyear, so that those not participating in the first assembly may take part. See Uncle Harry get doubletrouble with DOUBLE CROSS Tonight and Saturday Night at8:15 Uncle Harry Quincy, a frustratedmiddle-aged younger brother is presented competently and sometimes forcefully by Charles Dennis.Dennis appears to reel himself a part of the character, using gestures and facial and vocal expressions with facility. He speaks with such precise enunciation, however, that his lines much of the time arerather clipped and terse, slightly detracting from the part. GASPS INCLUDED Virginia Nelson, playingUncle Harry's ex-fiancee, "Lucy," offers very easy and natural acting, using emphasis and modulation toadvantage. Uncle Harry's two old maid sisters, Lettie played by Carol Res-ner, and Hester, played byHarriet Lord, also make the most of their parts speaking normally and using gestures and movements ina manner which makes them seem to live their parts. In one incident, Hester utters a strangling cough t h at should launch a thousand gulps in the audience. Debaters Enter CPS Tourney Five members ofWestern's Debate squad journeyed to Tacoma last Friday for the first tournament of the 1952-53intercollegiate forensic season, held at College of Puget Sound. Participation in the two-day practicetourney were freshmen, Mary Lou Frye and Gordon Pfister; juniors, Cliff Marco and Floyd Jackson;and one senior, Lyla Mclvor. Events offered, besides the traditional Oxford-style debate, werediscussion .oratory, extemporaneous speaking, after-dinner speaking, and oral interpretation of literature. Top ratings were earned in extemporaneous speaking and discussion. A good showing was made in after-dinner speaking and oral interpretation. Pointing out that the group was relatively inexperienced, Debate Coach Paul Herbold expressed optimism over the possibilities for a good year ofintercollegiate forensics. Stilted speech hampers the boys down at the Blue Bell tavern, D'Arcyplayed by Jack Rose and Albert played by Richard David, as it does John Schermerhorn playing Blakethe tavern keeper. Bill Ahb jumps in to the part of Ben with both feet, over-playing it at times, butnevertheless forcefully portraying the local druggist who feels himself a"*notch above "the boys" andquite a roue. Ramona Cass ably portrays the petite barmaid at the Blue Bell, although she is a little stiffin speech as is Charles Hughes as George Waddy, engineer, who serves mostly as a backdrop forLucy, and stimulation to Uncle Harry. MAID OUTSPOKEN Donna Wray as Nora, the Quin-cy's maid,speaks and acts in the open straightforward manner as if she had "been with the family for 30 years" asshe says in the play. Mr. Jenkins, a red-headed Englishman who somewhat unwillingly listens toUncle Harry's tale of woe, is played by Bob Lucas a little too emphatically. Maribeth German ablypresents the stolid type of matron. Mr. Burton, the cold, efficient hangman (ahâ€”public servant,please!) is portrayed well by Cliff Marcoe giving the character a self-effacing zeal which could almostallow it to be labeled "creepy." As the governor, Jim Simon portrays calm efficiency and respect ofroutine ("There's no precedent for it!") as crisp and austere as the setting of the Governor's office.SETS MADE The sets, made under the technical direction of Mark W. Flanders provide fittingbackground for the antics of the cast in the three different scenes of activity. All in all, LaurenceBrewster, director of the play, and all the others connected with it have presented a very palatable andinteresting production that commands audience attention. Well over half of the cast, nine of thefifteen, are freshmen; this could herald increasingly fine theatrical presentations at Western. BoardStands Behind Lappy's Decision - No Further Protest; Further protesting of the Whit-worth game will notbe made according to members of the Board of Control. The Board at the meeting last Wednesdayvoted to stand behind Coach Charles Lappenbusch in his decision not to make a formal protest to theleague officials. In Lappy's words, "The official's mistake was a natural one which any official could havemade." If the protest had been made, and the league decided to hold a play-off, which is the procedure in such a case, the game could not be scheduled until December, affecting the condition of the playersinvolved. The board granted funds to MRH to hire live music at the mixer November 21. It also grantedmoney to the Safety council for a delegate to the Governor's Safety meeting November 20-21, andadditional funds to cover food and registration fees for two more delegates to attend the Evergreenconference in Ellensburg this week-end. ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1952 November 14 - Page 2 ---------- Stage Use Stepped Up Last night marked the opening of the perfect murder of "Uncle Harry." Last nightalso marked the climax of the most intensive work that has ever been done on a stage at Western. For the first time in our history, we have an instructor who devotes all of his time to direction of the maximumuse of the space. Along with the instruction is the added interest built up in stage production, setcreation, and lighting techniques. For the first time classes are using the stage for other creative activitiesbesides acting, music practice and assemblies. The college offering such a chance to a studentdeserves credit for utilization of a place which usually receives less percentage of total possible usagethan perhaps any other room. Lefs hope, however, that there is not an overdose of a good thing, resultingin the too crowded conditions as found in other campus buildings.

True Meaning Is Revealed; 'D' Day Arrives AtWestern By WIL KNUTSEN Ah, yes, fair scholars, comes the day of reckoning, the day of days, thetime well be looking backward at for the rest of the year. Comes the report of deficiencies. Since manystudents seem overly worried over this little item, perhaps we could look at the sunny side for just a bit.Exactly what does it mean to a student when he gets a "deficiency"? Well, to condense the long, awful*truth into a short falsehood, it means just this, to-wit: Yon are a student of great promise (what thepromise is is another matter, discussion of which is prohibited by limitations of time, space andmental capacity). Secondly, you have great potentialâ€” a potential yet untapped. This means simplythat with more effort on your part you could possibly become another Einstein (this takes a greatdeal more effort)., or a second Adlai Stevenson (this requires some natural speech ability), WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Since 1899 Member Associated Collegiate Press Published by theAssociated Students of Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington.

Now the third point boils down to this,simply, in common terms: You better get on the stick and hit the books. Aye, there's th' rub.

They are counselled on problems by sevencampus school supervisors and eight field supervisors. Balance between elementary and secondaryteachers has slowly been equalized since World War n . However, the number of- elementaryteachers is still less than secondary. Western's student teachers have recognized that need, and so,out of 59 student teachers in their senior year, 33 are training for elementary teaching and 26 forsecondary teaching. Factors of advantage in elementary teaching are: single salary teaching,construction of new buildings, improvement of working conditions, and freedom from unfaircompetition. Student teachers are practicing in the following schools: Bellingham and Burlington highschools; Whatcom and Fairhaven junior high schools, Birchwood, Franklin, Larrabee, Lowell, Roeder,Roosevelt, Geneva, Washington, and Sunny-land elementary schools.

Businesses answer to yellowfin boycott By Ellis Baker staff reporter Asuccessful on-campus boycott of yellowfin tuna encouraged a Western student to contact businessesoff-campus and several are responding, said senior Cortlandt Fletcher. Haggen Foods is the first major grocery store to respond to Fletcher's request to boycott yellowfin tuna, although six stores werecontacted, he said. Haggen's spokesperson Anita Wisman said that while the store probably won'tremove yellowfin tuna from the shelves, it will address the issue. "I've outlined six or seven optionsthat we have open ... I'm presenting those options to my boss," Wisman said. "I don't think that wecan duck issues like this. I think that it's time to look at issues like pesticides and dolphins and meetthem head on, while keeping in mind the needs of both the company and our customers." Fletcher, anenvironmental education major and director of the Regenerative Society, an Associated Studentsorganization, said he has contacted grocery stores and restaurants, both large and small, to educate owners and managers about the yellowfin tuna issue. A national tuna boycott, sponsored by EarthIsland, is in force because commercial tuna-fishing methods in tropical zones of the Pacific Ocean maykill as many as 115,000 dolphins a year, Fletcher said. Denise Ranney, owner of Around the CornerCafe, said Fletcher contacted her about six weeks ago. She decided to buy a similarly pricedalternative, but her supplier has had little success in finding one. "It's a goal of ours. We can getalbacore [tuna] really easily, but that's about $20 a case more than yellowfin tuna and we just can't justify that expense, not with a $2.50 sandwich," Ranney said, adding that tuna sandwiches are therestaurant's best seller. see Tuna on page 12 Jugglers take center stage By Star Rush assistant newseditor The Associated Students will stand on their heads to make a deal. Well, almost. In an attemptto attract students'attention to available AS jobs for next year, the AS hired jugglers to perform in frontof their information table Tuesday in Red Square. Dressed in shorts and tie-dye T-shirts, The Needlesperformed various juggling feats. At one point they set aside their usual batons and daringly tossed firewands. No one was safe from the juggler's crazy antics, as an elementary school class soon foundout. The children were whisked away from their safe vantage point in the audience to center stage whenthe jugglers pulled them into the act. Along with the jugglers, the AS promotion included giving awayfree candy. A large crowd of people gathered in Red Square all day, but as Front photographer TylerAnderson observed, was it the jugglers or the sun that drew the crowds? Campus cruisers Students tovote in bike referendum By Gail Skurla staff reporter Western bicyclists and pedestrians can vote onthe "bikes on campus" issue in a referendum on May 9 and 10, said Associated Students PresidentTammy Fleming. Student opinion revealed by the referendum results, however, may not have anyimpact. Parking Office Director Ann Wallace said she doesn'tknow if the Parking Advisory Committee,which is in the process of making safety recommendations, will postpone submitting a proposal untilafter the referendum has been held. The Central Safety Committee, which had been working onrecommendations to resolve the issue, has transferred the problem to the Transportation andParking Office. "There is, potentially, a (safety) problem," Fleming said. "(The committee) is askingthe parking office to enforce the regulations that are already in place." Currently, the WashingtonAdministrative Code (WAC) states that pedestrians have the right-of-way on plaza areas, sidewalks andcampus paths, and bicyclists must use caution when riding in these areas. "(The WAC) is so vague,there is no way to enforce it," Wallace said. "We wish to provide more specific restrictions." Wallacesaid solutions being considered by the Parking Advisory Committee include assigning specific areasfor bike lanes and restricting bicyclists from riding on pedestrian pathways, requiring them to walktheir bikes through campus. The actual wording of the referendum has not yet been decided, Flemingsaid. She noted the AS "does not support a bike ban." "If I had to choose between a bike ban or thestatus quo, I'd choose the status quo," she added. Student Philip Moore, a bicyclist, said theuniversity "is negligent for not having bike paths." He also suggested installing more bike racks,preferably covered. Greg Madson, a graduate student and bicyclist, said safety on campus pathways isa problem. "I've seen people riding down the paths without their fingers on the brakes," he said.Restricting bicycles would probably improve safety, he noted. A ban would not, however, prevent himfrom continuing to ride through campus, Madson said. Gloria Johnson, a senior and pedestrian, said aban is not necessary as long as bicyclists ride safely and are considerate. She said she had seen awoman who was hit by a bicyclist "who didn't even apologize. He knocked her down... grunted and ran off." â€¢iliBHi^^BlHliiiiSH^S |^|J|Ji||^jJ|||||||||J SiiBlllSBIIIBB^BiiiSSi ful, may lead to a nationwide trendcenter director Sid DeVries said under the experiment, phone jacks will hook directly into a billingcomputer even when the residence S l H f^ HSBBiilMHillBBii^Ml ifcSiBilBiSHiSi^Bli phone service, apotential subscriber iiiiiilPiiB^jKHiiHBiiis ing-up your phone is a real hassle, IjlllBiliSj^MilBIHHi! thepeople who want service, and dents may do several times a year* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and plug your phoneinto your new able with going through aicomputer agreed.

Reinstate officers, survey suggests By Paul Mahlum staff reporter Western'scampus security officers should be recommissioned, suggested a recent student survey conducted by members from the AS Board and the Inter-Hall Council. Mike Petrie, AS vice president of activities, said the purpose of the survey was not to promote the re-commissioning of the campus security officers,but to evaluate the effectiveness of the current system. Associate Director MikeBartosch of Residence Life, said the survey was designed to see if students and staff members have access to informationabout the campus security system. Since the Board of Trustees decommissioned Western'sDepartment of Public Safety last September, the number of campus security officers has declined from11 to nine. Green-coats, or students who patrol academic buildings after hours, have been cut by nine. Petrie said 41 of 172 students living in residence halls and 28 of 77 residence hall staff membersresponded to the survey. Petrie and Inter-Hall Council representative Brett Bigger said survey resultswere suggestive of student sentiments, but not conclusive because of the small number of surveyrespondents. Based upon these numbers, Bigger said a large majority of the students supportedrecommissioning. "There was even more concern over a lack of visibility of security officers on campus.Last year we always saw security- officers and greencoats on campus," he said. Fifty-percent of thestaff members who responded said they feel the current system is not effective enough and supportedrecommissioning the officers. Bartosch said, "In the past they (residence hall staffers) could solve all oftheir problems by calling one number. Now they have to discriminate on what number to call." About48 percent of the students surveyed said they weren't clear of the changes in the system, said Petrie."From the survey, lots of people feel less secure on campus now than they did last year," he said. "Abigger problem is a lack of a clear role of what campus security officers can do. There has been a longlist on what they can't do. There has to be a long list of what they can do." Petrie and Bigger will present their recommendations, based on the results of the survey, to the Board of Trustees at their meetingsnext month. Petrie said the recommendations will include a proposal to increase the visibility of campussecurity officers and the Bellingham Police on campus. "There should be an increased level ofprotection on campus," Petrie said. "There should be increased foot patrol on campus and a decreased response time to incidents on campus."

This is â€¢ H H . . .SWIBIBB^BII^BI,:. time equivalent means the number BBB^^BBiiHHii^PiHs Minority recruitment upMinority enrollment at Western has increased because of a special minority recruiting and retentionplan used for the past' two years. Each year of the two-year plan (1987 to 1989), $150,000 wasallocated for such additions as a minority admission counselor and a minority achievement programcoordinator. In fall 1980, minority enrollment was 4.6 percent of the student body. It increased to 7percent in fall 1988. Enrollment of blacks, Native Americans and Hispanics increased 77 percent from last fall. This increase is definitely a result of the special allocation, said Vice President Saundra Taylor. Western Information Nights have been conducted for minority communities in the Interstate-5 corridor.Contacts with minority high school students have increased by 50 percent and minority counselors inhigh schools have been contacted about Western's programs. Faculty and peer mentor programshave been established. "Our intent is to expand it. We want to make sure every minority student haseither a peer or faculty mentor," Taylor said. The faculty and peer mentor program consists ofvolunteers who will support minority students with advice and academic help.

The Associated Students are proposing to purchase a boatto transport students to and from the island. Jim Schuster, associate director for operations for theViking Union, is examining the purchase of a 26- foot, flat-bottom Beachmaster with a 200-horsepowerengine. The boat has a cabin that can hold up to six people. Schuster said the boat has been used byWestern before as a water taxi. He said the owner recently put it up for sale, and Schuster is having itsurveyed to determine its worth. He said the price will probably be between $17,000 and $20,000. ASPresident Tammy Fleming said the AS Board is waiting for Schuster's recommendation before decidingwhether to purchase the boat "A lot of students ask about the island," she said, "and we say you canuse it if you can find some way to get there." Schuster said the difficulty of going to the island has notstopped students. "A lot of students have been getting there," he said, "but you have to know someonewith a boat. It's not a workable situation. â€¢' Fleming said if Schuster finds a boat that would beeconomical for the AS to purchase, the money will come out of a reserve fund which the AS has storedaway for larger purchases. "There's plenty of money in there," she said. "The reason we have it isbecause we've saved it for big things as opposed to little things like dances." Schuster said the boatcould be used for other purposes. Huxley could use it for conducting water studies, the scuba club could use it on dives and the boat could also shuttle students to other islands around Puget Sound.Western junior Cari Lawson, majoring in industrial psychology, said she was interested in renting acabin on Sinclair Island until she found the only way to get there was through private means. "I calledabout it and they said, 'Do you have your own boat?'" Lawson said the purchasing of a boat would be abenefit for residence hall functions, but she thought $20,000 was too expensive. Fleming said studentscan approve or deny purchase of the boat through referendum. They can also ask the AS to purchasesomething else. Schuster said the boat would be piloted by student volunteers who have a knowledge of boating and have been checked out on the boat. He said students would have to pay to rent it out.WHATCOM CHORALE RICHARD ASHER.

They perform little tricks to keep their special someone happy. And, yes, sometimes they pee onthe floor. These are not your average unwanted, uninvited guests. These are your life, your love, yourpride and joy â€” also known as illegal pets. But everyone knows you're not supposed to have pets in the dorms or campus apartments, right? Well, some people choose to ignore that inconvenient little ruleand keep that "contraband kitty" anyway. Ridgeway Gamma Resident Adviser (R.A.) Scoti Watson said, "If you have a pet, it has to "The whole floor knew about the cat. Everybody knew about the cat," shesaid. Lewis said the hamster would "chew up all its plastic toys and... shit all over the floor. But thehamster was too loud; it kept me awake at night." She eventually sold it back to the pet store.Originally, Lewis wanted a lizard. "But the lady at the pet store said I had to feed it live crickets, and Isaid, 'No!'" Watson said he hasn't written up anyone this year for having pets. "There really aren't anyproblems with pets. Most people don't keep cats or dogs in their room." But one Ridgeway roomactuallyjiad an orange alley cat and a black lab puppy. Where the hamster would "chew up all its plastictoys and... shit all over the floor. But the hamster was too loud; it kept me awake at night." -ColeenLewis pass the 24-hour underwater test." (That means fish to you and me.) The Residential CommunityHandbook says if you harbor a cat, dog, fowl orreptile, you will be allowed 48 hours to find a new homefor the pet. You'll also be charged fumigation costs. However, these rules rarely keep residents fromcaring for that "significant other." Rats, salamanders, turtles, spiders, hamsters, cats, dogs and evensnakes have been found to inhabit Western's campus. Stephanie Pender, aHigginson R.A., found a"beady-eyed rodent" in one of her residents' rooms the second day of the quarter. "They didn't just bringup some beloved pet from home," she said. "They bought it especially for school." Pender said it wasrisky of them because she spends a lot of time in her residents' rooms and the aquarium was clearlyvisible at the head of the bed. So what possesses people to keep an illegal pet? "Because I didn't likefish and I wanted something," said sophomore Coleen Lewis, who kept a hamster in her Nash dorm room for most of last year. "You can't really play with a fish or a turtle," she said. Lewis kept the hamster inthe closet with the light on all the time. She said her R.A. "never had a clue" about the pet. She also had a full-grown cat for one week before she got caught. they are now is the key question. Inquiring mindswant to know these things. Their temporary owners said the cat was given to them and the dog justshowed up on campus so they brought him home. The dog stayed for just two days before hedisappeared. "We let him out and I think people just took him," one resident said. The cat, namedReggie Holmes, stayed for three weeks. "He just came in here once in a while. No big deal. He'd get out through the window and he'd smell the bushes for hours," one roommate said. "He's totally cool."Tame cat, really tame," another roommate said. "If he comes back we'll take him back in," theyagreed. Their only major problem came from their short-stay pet. "The dog peed a lake in the bathroom.It was brutal." Whatever the problems, the residents were proud of their temporary pets. "I think we'rethe first people to have a dog, a cat and a fish at the same time." A former Higginson resident kept akitten for two weeks before a custodian reported her, despite the apparent fact that the feline was awanderer. "Whoever fed it, it belonged to," she said. The cat would leave the room, go down to the lawn,do its "thing" and then go back to the room. "So, he was like pretty potty-trained," she said. Theproblem came in hiding the evidence. "The custodian would come in in the morning and there'd be catdishes all over and she'd get pissed." Sometimes, campus residents find homes for their pets offcampus. One Nash Hall resident sneaked her rabbit into Edens Hall for the night before she found afriend with a fenced-in yard. She walks to the house every day to feed and play with the bunny. TylerAnderson/The Western Front She got the albino rabbit from the pound about a year ago. It looked like the rabbit she had as a child and'she couldn't resist. "So, I decided to save the rabbit," she said. Obviously, pets are an important part of â€¢ students' lives. People will risk write-ups and fumigation costs, not tomention clean-up duty to house their little bundles of joy. However, some people commit a faux pas when it comes to caring for their pets, such as the Edens Hall resident who accidentally used warm water inher fish bowl and boiled her Beta to death. Eeek!

Illustration byGarth Mix AS shows films from overseas ByJeffFlugel staff reporter Tired of the same old re-hashedmovie junk that's flooding the theaters? Looking for something a little more mentally stimulating than a music video? Then check out some of the artistic flicks served up during spring quarter's InternationalFilm Series. "The campus has an excellent chance to- experience modern and classic films fromaround the world," said Chris Ninaud, coordinator of the Cross-Cultural Center. Japan, Spain, India,China, Germany, France and Africa are all represented by one or more films, which range in date ofrelease from Fritz Lang's 1931 classic "M' to the 1986 film "The Woman in My Life." Fans of foreigncinema should not pass up such an opportunity. For those who have never seen a foreign film before,this will be a welcome treat and a breath of fresh air in a society used to "safe" filmmaking. It also will be a chance to open new perspectives on other cultures as well as our own. Don'tlettheuseof subtitles (you know, those little words running along the bottom of the screen) scare you away. What seems likeannoying work initially, becomes easier by the minute, and soon the distraction is minimal. Foreigncinema is so unlike anything made in this country that those turning their backs upon non- English filmsare depriving themselves of a memorable experience. But if you're adventurous and interested in newdiscoveries and other cultures, then don't miss this series of international film classics. The moviesbegin at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday in the Wilson Library Presentation Room. Tickets are $2 at the doorfor each showing. The series is sponsored by the International Students Club.

I'm not talking about a commie, radical, bleedingheart or garden- variety dissenter. I'm talking about The Flaming Lips. Now you're probably scanningyour foamy memory banks trying to remember the name of the last great band, or any band, that camefrom Oklahoma City. If you can'tremem-ber that's because nothing worth a Midwestern road apple hasever come out of Oklahoma City â€” until now. Think of The Flaming Lips as a multi-tentacled creaturethat pounds drum sticks like an orangutan on speed, grinds guitar strings with a chainsaw and screamslike it's being eaten alive. Yes, they really are that good. 'Telepathic Surgery" is The Lips' latest release. I'm not going to compare it to their other albums because ... I haven't heard their previous releases.All right, I know I'm out of touch, but I've repented and welcomed the Lips into my life with open arms,so give me a break. "Telepathic Surgery" sounds like a collection of grinding guitar jams, heavy drumbeats, disturbed grunts, growlings and damn good lyrics, with assorted special affects, thrown into ablender and "frapayed" for 40 minutes. The tape includes two "bonus" tracks, "Fryin' Up" and "Hell'sAngels' Cracker Factory." AlBum Review "Fryin' Up," a song that may be about getting stoned on Easter Sunday, is an outrageously gut wrenching, teeth grinding, ultimately orgasmic piece of rock androll. "Cracker Factory" begins with motorcycle revving and progresses into a seemingly endlessbombardment of metal grinding metal grinding more metal ... until you feel as if somebody hasunscrewed the top of your head and jammed an ice pick into your cranium. Clenching your teeth andbiting your tongue, you realize you want more. The "song" ends with a bizarre answering machinemessage. Don't try to find logic here, just go with it. The creature responsible for this drug induced,mind bending trip through musical hell goes by the names Richard, Mike and Wayne. Richard is the one responsible for all the banging and bashing, the primal beating of the skins that's shocked critics intocomparing him to the oh-so- Christ-like rock legend John Bonham. Meanwhile, Wayne does a lot of thescreaming, wailing, barking, mumbling, uttering and occasional vocalizing, while simultaneouslybeating the hell out of his guitar. Mike makes his bass go boom-boom- booin. (Hey Mikey, I like it.)While all this was happening somebody somewhere had the fore-. sight to plug a doohickey into awatchamacallit and "Telepathic Surgery" was born. This psychedelic epic explores thepossibility orinevitability of U.F.O.S landing on Earth and the confusion that follows. The Lips' warped musical style and twisted lyrics have earned them comparisons with Sonic Youth and the But-thole Surfers, butneither comparison does them justice. The Lips are /'gutsier" and more innovative than Sonic Youth,and not nearly as fried out and dried up as the Butthole Surfers. The Buttholes do a thorough job of being weird for weirdness sake while displaying minimal talent, but the Lips have actually become damn goodmusicians who make tripped out, psychedelic music that might actually mean something. Just look atthese lyrics: "1 think the state ofmind that I'm in we should drop it right now... Well you've got yourself to blame if you need those sunny days and all those plans that I made, there all changed by the end of the day, cause god flicked up when he made its, cause he made us so we could hate us, and the worldcould end in a second..." "The Last Drop of Morning Dew" Yes, it does sound thoroughly confused,frantic, over the edge and far, far down into the surrealistic abyss of some drugged-out, non-reality,and yet, we find ourselves screaming, "Yes! Yes!" as if some divine prophet has led us down the lostpath of our ultimate comprehension, from which we gain complete awareness. No, just kidding. It's stillone hell of an album though.

That example may be stretching things a bit, but everyone has atleast a little bit of rock V roll inside of them. Don't try and deny it, even if you do listen to Glen Campbellor Whitney Houston. It started early in your life. Mom and dad realized that as a child, you had nocapability of choosing a radio station or record to listen to, so they did the honors. You simply had nomind of your own. Besides it was their record player anyway, right? They raised you on "their kind ofmusic," which meant anything from Pat Boone to Country Joe and the Fish. Nonetheless, Pat Boone did attempt a few boppers and this leads into the point I'm trying to make: Everyone's a rocker deep down.As you grew up,you realized that those weekend drives with the folks became more monotonousbecause they had the likes of Andy Williams and Mary Wells blaring from the AM radio. There was nosuch thing as FM in cars yet. Your brain subconsciously stored these tribal utterances, and althoughnowadays you don't remember all the words, you still remember the tune as you search the AM dial inyour own car while traveling on an out of-town freeway. Don't try to convince yourself that you don' t likea song with a good rock beat, because you're the same person who gets caught tapping your foot to themusic â€” even in elevators. On goes your adolescence. You end up joining band in elementary or junior high school, and realize that after six years of playing the clarinet, you need braces and can' tparticipate in high school stage band because the clarinet is an orchestra instrument. Instead ofswitching to the saxophone like your band teacher suggests, you rebel by quitting the band andtaking up a rock 'n' roll instrument. You choose: the guitar, if you think you're a loud person; the bass,if you've got rhythm; keyboards, if you had a crush on the church organist; drums, if you liked beatingup on your younger sibling. Now that you're in college,you're trying to juggle school with practice timefor your "act." You're trying to grow your hair long(er), at least until you get home for vacation, whenmom and dad give you the "hippie" speech, and you're breaking in the leather jacket. You've got notionsin your head of being up on stage at Buck's before school's out â€” or at least before you graduate. If astranger sees you putting your instrument into your car, you lie and say you're off to another out-of-towngig. And when you're all alone, you sit back and laugh at the memories of your parents singing "I WantTo Hold Your Hand," realizing that you haven't sold anything for rock V roll, you 've just learned toappreciate it. / have, but you won't catch me getting off on that elevator Muzak! ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 14 - Page 8 ---------- 8 April 14,1989 The Western Front Friday Buck's Tavern: Red Buick performs at 9:30 p.m. $2 covercharge.

The firstgame was dominated by Viking pitcher Dean Hove, who threw a complete game four-hitter in which hestruck out eight batters. With the score tied at 1-1, Western outfielder Scott River drilled a two-runsingle with the bases loaded and advanced to second on the throw to home plate. Two walks pushed inanother run before Todd Burkman hit a two-run double to up the score to 6-1. The Vikes scored their final three' runs on errors, making the final score 9-1. The second game was a slugfest from the openinginning. Fraser Valley scored four runs in the top of the first to take a quick 4-0 lead. Western respondedwith four runs of its own in the bottom of the inning , to knot the score at four apiece. Fraser Valleyscored single runs in the second and fourth innings to take the lead 6-4, before Western exploded for five more runs in the bottom of the fourth to lead 9-6. Fraser Valley scored another run in the sixth beforepounding the Viking pitching for seven runs in the top of the seventh. Western had one last chance toscore. The Viking rally began with two outs and Rob Messmer on first, then they came up with threewalks, three singles and were helped by two wild pitches. After batting through the order, Messmerstepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and down by one run. He hit a fly ball to centerfield, butthe Fraser Valley centerfielder dropped the ball and Jensen and Shelton scored to win the game 15-14and end a wild night of baseball. Western's leading hitters were first baseman Randy Joyner,with twohits and two RBI, and catcher Brian Shea,who had two hits and four RBI. The Vikings enjoyed five FraserValley errors. Diane Kershner/The Western Front Viking first baseman Andrew Shelton (9) stretches just enough to get the out. -â€¢â€¢ - Warthogs look hopeful for reinstatement By Rob Martin staff reporterIn a vote of eight to three, Western's Club Sports Council decided to allow the rugby team to return as anactive member of the council. "Things are finally starting to turn around for the rugby team, and with theamount of effort we have been putting into getting reinstated, I feel things will work out for the best,"said rugby team Captain Aaron Davis. The team lost its club status-along with its funding, as a result ofOctober 28, 1987,dorm raids. A commando-style nighttime raid was staged against Ridgeway Sigma byabout 30 men in camouflage. The "commandos" tore down bulletin boards, and pens off doors, andsprayed shaving cream. Rugby players were accused of the incident, but nothing was proven. Davissaid, no charges were ever filed against the group because nobody could identify the individualsinvolved. Club Sports adviser Marie Sather said the team presented the CSC with its proposal forreinstatement on April 3, and it was accepted. "The final decision, however, will be made following ameeting between rugby team officers and the club sports administration," Sather said. In a meetingthat will take place later next week, "the (club sports) administration will look at the different aspects ofthe team's return and see if they are willing to uphold the stipulations we decide on. We will then makeour decision based on whether or not we feel comfortable having them come back in our club sportsystem," she said. Rugby team President Steve Biggs said he feels good about the team's chances ofgetting reinstated. "Whatever we have to do to get reinstated, we are going to do," Biggs said. "If wedecide to allow the team back, they will be placed on probation for a period of two years, in which theywill be without funding," Sather said. Davis said if the team is able to come back as a club, the lack offunding is going to hurt, but through a number of fund-raisers they will be able to manage. "The moneythat we raise will be used to replace rugby balls that have been worn out or lost and also to pay fortournaments which make up a big part of our season," Davis said. "The main thing with money, however,is that we would like to use some of it to get a coach," Davis said. Gill James, a Western alumnus andformer Viking rugby and football player.has expressed an interest in the position. James said he hopesto be coaching Western's rugby team next year. "If I become coach of the team, my major goalswould be to clean up the image of the team at Western and to establish a quality program," he said.After the probation period, their case will come back to the CSC. It will look at any incidents that occured during the two-year period and decide if they were positive representatives of the university. "We justwant to make su/e they are going to represent Western in a positive way," Sather said. "The team'sattitude has been very positive throughout this whole ordeal," Davis said, adding, "Getting reinstatedmeans we will again be able to use the university facilities-which is of major importance." "When we getto use the field on campus we have people come down and watch the games, whereas if we played offcampus people are less likely to see us play," Davis said. Rugby Club Vice President Herb Reich said,"We are a whole new rugby team now, with a fresh, positive attitude." "As far as those people who werepart of the problem (in 1987), they're all gone now. They have either graduated or moved away," Reichsaid. "We are focused now on getting back and developing a quality team as well as get more peopleinvolved," he said. "Western rugby has had a long winning tradition and we want to keep that traditionalive."

On Tuesday, the AS Board passed the officialelection code outlining proper candidate conduct for spring quarter's elections, set for May 9 and 10. It'sabout time. For years students have plastered every inch of outside wall . space to try to outdo othercandidates. But now the motto for posting posters appears to be "quality, not quantity," and those whoviolate the code or incite complaints will get a hearing to decide their punishment. In the hearing, theBoard can "take any action deemed appropriate and necessary," which includes "disqualification, publicapology, censure, no action, suspension from campaigning ..." And the list of rules goes on: Accordingto the code, candidates must clean up their own mess â€” that means picking up posters that fall down,using materials that won't disintegrate, using non-soluable paints that won't stain walls and taking downall posters 48 hours after the election. Candidates must also make sure the handbills they pass outmake it into a recycle bin or wastebasket. Posters can only be displayed on the designated sides ofbuildings. A single poster cannot Dlaster the entire side of a building by being larger than 4 feet by 12feet. Yard signs are a definite no-no. So starting atmidnight, April 30, candidates have 6 hours to put upposters. Bravo to the AS Board for having the foresight needed to take care of a potential problem beforeit becomes a reality. Fusion a cure for energy blues S ay goodbye to toxic waste, acid rain and ozonedepletion caused by polluting energy sources. Someday, maybe within our lifetimes, the world may berunning on a clean, safe and inexpensive energy source produced by nuclear fusion instead of fission.Sounds too good to be true. But two scientists, one American and one British, claimed last month thatthey fused (or squeezed together) hydrogen atoms, instead of splitting them, to release energy. Ofcourse skeptics abound. But maybe in the distant future we'll be telling the story of Chernobyl and ThreeMile Island to a generation that has no concept of the China syndrome.

They guard the most sacred Moslem shrines, asArab businessmen congregate at bus stops on their way to offices downtown in this holy city. Hardly the place for shootings and flag-burnings? It depends on who you ask, an Arab or a Jew. Not far away â€” roughly the distance between Bellingham and Lynden â€” violent uprisings continue in the Israeli-occupied Gaza and the West Bank, which remain the centerpieces for a free Palestinian state.Welcome to the occupation. Face it. It's just a matter of time before a settlement is reached and a newnation-state is welcomed. Time is something Israel is running out of, as it becomes clearer that a growing part of the Jewish population admits it's time to sit down with Palestinian Liberation Organizationleaders. U.S. officials also have expressed Douglas Buell staff reporter an interest in talks with PLOleaders. So who is holding up the negotiations? Israel's Prime Minister, Yitzhak Shamir, that's who.During his visit to Washington D.C. last week, Shamir recommended a proposal for elections amongPalestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. PLO leader Yasser Arafat saw through this guise to findPalestinians supportive of Israel, thereby weeding out PLO sympathizers. Arabs would have no part inballoting under Israeli occupation, he said- The United States, pivotal in any territorial decision involvingthe country's vital interests, should take a firm stand to recognize a new Palestinean state comprisingGaza and the West Bank. Israel should abide by U .N. Resolution 242, which means moving boundaries back to pre-June 1967 lines drawn after the war. And Jerusalem, the holy city, will unfortunately have to become the Berlin of the Middle East, divided among nationalities. Transcending any nationalisticviews, Jewish, Moslem and Christian religions will rest like a shroud upon any legal resolves. Israel hasbeen a stubborn client of the United States, an impetuous stepchild prone to armed and unwarrantedreprisals against its neighbors. Even after all the talk of protests and eye-for-an-eye killing in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem, it still comes down to this: At least Israel has a flag to wave. 7 know it'sonly rock 'n' roll' Players, fans game for music Feb. 18,1989 After a successful 1988- 89 basketballseason which saw record turnouts of fans and a District 1 championship for the women's team,controversy starts brewing over the loudness and type of music aired at men's and women's games.April 27,1989 Pressure from a handful of people forces the members of the athletic department to form acommittee to create a new set of rules concerning the music controversy. . The committee, whichdoesn't include any students, decides that Guns and Roses, Led Zeppelin, AC/ DC and other upbeatmusic enjoyed by many will be outlawed. The new music to be played at 1989-90 Viking basketballgames will include Lawrence Welk and Barry "I Write the Songs" Manilow. Nov. 16,1989 The new music format causes many students to lapse into comas by halftime while others who previously attendedbasketball games, stay home to watch reruns of Mr. Belvedere. Once known as the "Jungle," CarverGym gets it's new name, the "Morgue." Central coach, Dean Nicholson, sums it up best, "It's a biggeradvantage for visiting teams to play at Western than on their home court." Dec. 7,1989 In a sympathetic move President Mortimer lifts the ban on rock'n'roll music during halftime of a men's game againstNorthwest College. Unfortunately it's too late; Northwest gets it's lone victory of the year against thewinless Vikings 85-40. After the game, coach Brad Jackson, reflecting on the team's dismal season,blames the ban on rock 'n'rollmusic as a major factor to low student turnout, unenlhusiastic crowds anduninspired team play. Maybe the rock 'n'roll complain-ers should bring ear plugs to the game and putmore time into supporting Western students and athletics rather then bashing them. The musicplayed at basketball games not only creates more enthusiasm and energy but also helps Westerngain a tremendous advantage over their opposition. Start complaining about some serious issues likerising tuition costs or campus security and leave the music alone. Long live rock'n'roll. ---------- Western Front - 1989 April 14 - Page 11 ---------- The Western Front April 14,1989 11 Letters .Christians look at wrong lives Editor, Some interestingideas and questions on abortion from my "American Atheist" magazine, (December 1988): Mostabortions occur so early that the fetuses are scarcely recognizable. The idea that a human soulenters a human egg at conception is absurd; such eggs are like other body cells, each having agenetic blueprint of its owner. Only a fertilized egg has that of two. Is a tiny, developing fetus ofequal importance as the life of a teenage, unwed female, who was possibly molested by her Christianuncle, father or nephew? Who is going to pay for all these excess children? Should not poverty and anabundance of kids be taken into account? I have a few questions: "Why are Christians so concernedwith the unborn when they show so little concern for those already born? What is their real goal? Is it not to grab more power over the lives of women and over our society? What is a human being? Are wechildren of a god, and if so, where is the evidence? Scientifically we are a unique species of hairlessapes, akin to chimpanzees, yet nearly free of instinct. We are often victims of self-inflicted dogmasand of mindless conformity, yet we have the ability to think and to reason, if only we would do so. BillBokamper graduate, history Music offers boost to team Editor, I am writing in response to Mr. RichardB. Johnson's letter in the Front suggesting that rock music be deleted from Western basketball games.It is true that basketball is an athletic contest, but music does have its place in Carver Gym. The players, as well as the coaches, have expressed their pleasure at the advantage that the excitement andatmosphere of Advertise in The Western Front 676-3161 playing at Carver brings to the Vikings. Alarge part of this homecourt mystique is attributed to the music played during warmups and timeouts.This music helps our players feel "up" and lets visiting teams know how far from their home courts theyare. So in this respect, music contributes to the quality and outcome of Western basketball games.Admittedly, the music borders literally on being deafening. Maybe the DJs, if they're listening, couldslide the master volume switch down a notch or pipe the music to the student section only. Without rock music, part of "the usual excitement" will be gone.leav-ing the Big Blue without a large portion of theirhomecourt advantage. Paul L.

Western will accept students from Northwest IndianCollege who complete an associate of arts and science degree. Prior to Western's new policy,students from Northwest Indian College were required to complete degree requirements through What-im^ Hii^BBiii nally estimated at 8,305 but turned com Community College in order to qualify as transferstudents. Northwest Indian College was established in 1983 as Lummi Community College by theLummi Indian Business Council as a non-profit institution serving the Native American community.This policy encourages students to get a four-year degree and to do it at Western. "It shows good faith;Western believes the program and faculty warrant having this kind of relationship," said Vice PresidentSaundra Taylor. Northwest Indian College has worked for five years to attain accreditation, said CarlaJohnson, dean of Lummi Campus. "This is a big step for us ... with candidate status (for accreditation),other universities can agree to accept credits," Johnson said, adding that it creates a possible linkbetween Lummi people and Western. "Students feel more positive about getting into Western andFairhaven," she said. "The other system makes them (Native Americans) feel second-class," Taylorsaid. "The standards used to allow access to education for the majority were the same standards thatprevented access for minorities," Taylor said. The college provides a school of agriculture, hatcheryand harvest management programs, marine biology programs and includes classes that restoreAmerican Indian history, culture and language. The college can confer degrees and disburse financialaid. The policy allows the college to access Western's library services, career and placement office,and media services, Johnson said. Phone Continued from page 1 Tuna Continued from page 1Woolworth's opted to discontinue stocking yellowfin tuna after Fletcher provided information about thedolphin kill, said Ncrman Peterson, store manager. The store will sell its remaining tuna stock by theend of the month and will not order a replacement, Peterson said, adding, "It's not that big of a deal forus." The Bellingham Food Co-op, acting independently, removed major brands of yellowfin tuna fromits shelves more than a year ago and substituted a co-op brand, said merchandising manager BradSmith. "We currently stock a house brand that is only purchased from fleets that guarantee use of theback-down method of nettine." whir-.h dries not Fletcher kill dolphins, Smith said. Tuna sales at the co-op have increased since a substitute was found, despite the expense, he said. The house brandcurrently costs about $1.25 per can, compared with 70 cents for other brands. A protest petition insupport of the yellowfin tuna boycott garnered 200 signatures on campus last week. The society's nextgoal is a fundrais-ing campaign to purchase a $1,700 full-page informational ad in the Bellingham Herald, Fletcher said. Bernstrom said she believes the new system will streamline phone service becausethose with touch-tone phones can order service 24 hours per day, seven days a week. She added thattwo offered features of the first-in-the-nation project may include call forwarding, whereby subscribers can forward calls to another phone in case they are away from, their phone, and a direct call-back, wherebysubscribers immediately could call the company to find the cost of a particular phone call. "So if you'vejust let someone make a long-distance call on your phone, you wouldn't have to wait until you get yourbill to find out how much they owe you," she said. But what will this sleek, new system cost customers? "The service order fees have yet to be decided," Bernstrom said. She added the company hopes todecide by the summer and believes it may be lower than current hook-up charges, which are about $38. Bernstrom said Western was a major factor in the telephone company's choice of Bellinghambecause, along with the city's booming economy, thousands of students each year subscribe to theircompany for phone service. "We were looking for a town of workable size that had a large and steadyflow of hook-ups and disconnections, which will enable us to really test the system," she said. If theexperiment works, that is, if it streamlines the internal workings of U.S. West and its customers arehappy with it, the company will try another two-year test run in a larger city. If successful, the company plans eventually to put the system online in all of its 14 western states, Bernstrom said.

The campus was a riot of orange and white festoons, colored lights, music ^anH:;:;:merrimeht from eight till late. .^Fortune tellers, ghosts from realms of gloom, and champions of the purple sage attracted the pleasure seekers to their novel booths. The crowd was divided into four groups for game playing—Red, Blue, White and Orange. Bedaubed clowns acted as ringleaders and boosters for each of the divisions and a lively program of competition under the direction 6f Miss Long, was enacted. The faculty then participated in some tionest-to-gbodness square dances that were invented before King Syncopation began his reign. Punch was served, and ice cream sold during the regular dance which followed. The orchestra furnished the music. The lively program arid enthusiastic participation; made Campus Capers one of the most successful entertainments the Normal, has ever had. THURSDAY—August 28. Commencement in the auditorium, at 10:00 a. m, MONDAY-TUESDAY — September 2f and 30. Registration for Fall quarter. WEDNESDAY—October 1. Classes begin at 8:00 a. m. I. MCE PUBU NEW M I NG SCALE New Idea in Charts Worked Out by Normal Instructor. OUTLINES AIMS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Irwin Explains Main Ideas; Students Interested. Mr. Irwin, instructor at the Normal for the summer quarter, gave a talk on Junior High Schools, August 20, in the assembly hall. A large group of students interested in the subject assembled at 3 o'clock to listen to the talk and discuss questions. Mr. Irwin brought out several important features concerning Junior High Schools. He said that Junior High Schools are not a recent movement but have been in existence for the past forty years. Further in his talk he brought out the fact that many schools under the name of Junior High School misrepresent the purpose of the schools. These schools have been created because of lack of room in the other schools, he said. The real Junior High School meets the need of early adolescence, keeps them interested and willing to work and gives them experience in general laboratory and shop work. Mr. Irwin believes that when properly organized the Junior High Schools will be one of the greatest factors in American education. For the last year Mr. W. J. Rice, author and publisher of the Rice System of Penmanship, who is also a member of the faculty, has been developing a new idea in a writing scale combined with a grading chart. In close cooperation with the department of education in the Belling-ham Normal and the University of Washington he has developed what is considered a most scientific plan of arriving at a proper grade for pupils in the sixth grade and above. The scale is just off, the press and will be on display for student inspection before the summer term closes, possibly by Tuesday, August 26. Pupil writing will be displayed in connection so students will have an opportunity to see the real workings of the scale. Through some oversight, the name of W. J. Rice was omitted from the list of faculty members who are coming back next year, in last week's Messenger. Mr. Eice will be back teaching penmanship next year, as usual. — o OF PAYS I f f Says Parents Need Training as Much as Teachers. Miss Frances Hayes, for sixteen years a member of the Normal faculty, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Geo. Ludwig of this city. While here she will spend a week's vacation at "The Cabin" on Lake Whatcom, so pleasurably remembered by so many of our Alumni. Miss Hayes is national field secretary of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. This summer she has given short courses in the P. T. A. work in the University of Missouri, Winthrdp College of South Carolina, and the University of Oregon. Thursday and Friday she addressed the local P. T. A. She will spend October in Wyoming, November in North Dakota, December in Montana, and the rest of the winter in the Southern States; FOR SHORT LAYOFF ffl '•00, Miss Cummins Will Jbnrney t d i l | ^| • New York.

The members of the quartet are John Spargur, Albany Ritchie, Hellier Collens, and George Kirchner, playing first violin, second violin, viola, and violincello, respectively. The program follows: Quartet, D Major—Opus 04 No. o..Haydn Allegro moderato Adagio cantabile Menuetto Finale Vivace By the Tarn Goosens Canzonetta, Mendelssohn Quartet—Three movements Grieg- Allegro Molto Romance Presto al Saltarello Campus Is Pasture For Thoroughbred Hobbies (Madge Boyer) i||'; We teach. We regard our chosen voca-1 might almost be called a High Horse, tion with great respect. If we are wise we have also an avocation, a hobby. Hobbies are'good for the soul. They may be serious, semi-serious, or "plumb foolish"; whatever the nature of them may be, they fill a need and perform a valuable service in giving relaxation and Tecreation. Hobbies on this campus? Are there? Yes, a whole stable of thoroughbreds. By way of proof, suppose we enumerate some. Pauline Hutchison lias a big, big scrap book. It is her hobby. In it she pastes occasionally a snapshot, a program, or a gum-wrapper to remind her of sundry memorable hikes, parties, or dances. She hasn't a monopoly in this field, however, as one glance at Gail Hinthorne's scrap-book will show. The Bonds all have the same hobby,— they smile. Have you ever seen a Bond not smiling? Lewis York's hobby is vocal. He specializes in sounds. He has acquired his collection of shrieks, squawks, and yelps, as well as fiendish laughter from the seagulls, the locomotive, and the noon whistles, and he lets them out at times when they are most effective, hair-raising and blood-clabbering Mary Hibner's hobby seems to be the Messenger. Gordon Broadbent shows a fondness for prize waltzes. Gary Costi-gan specializes in trousers; he possesses every known species of the bi-symmetri-cal garment. There is also Bill Lam-phere and his saxaphone (s). Some folks make a hobby of sitting on the front steps. Others have become proficient in the gentle art of falling up said front steps. Frances /Kirby has reached a state near perfection in the business of losing her glasses, her locker key, and her comb. Petronilla Fitzgerald is never seen without her copy of the International Book Review, possibly because the blue cover is becoming to her. Mrs. O'Hal-loran has developed an almost parental love for the works of George Eliot. Popular hobbies with the girls are hosiery, Rudolph Valentino, headbands, engegement rings, haircuts, and diaries. One man can tell you all you might ever wish to know about unexcused absences. Another is making a collection of pOwder puffs. And two or three there be who are authorities on the delicate subject of women. We repeat, Hobbies are good for the '44:1cBritai^;^^^iJTO4e•:a^•!.!.9Db.y which soul.

Austin Bond, Guy Bond, and George Burlingame, beginning Friday, August 15. Leaving the Normal in the afternoon they motored to Shuksan, where they spent the night. Saturday morning the fishermen hiked up to the Lone Jack mine with the pack train. From the mine they hiked down the Little Selisia to where it joined the Big Selisia, arriving there at four o'clock in the afternoon. Camp was made and dinner soon cooked. After eating, the fishing tackle was brought forth and enough fish caught for supper. As it began to rain after supper shelter became imperative. The camp was moved under an enormous fir tree, where everything remained quite dry. The fishermen awoke early Sunday morning and had started seeking the finny natives of the Selisia by six-thirty. By noon the fish had quit biting for the day so the return hike to Bel-lingham was started. They arrived home Sunday evening with a nice catch for the home folks to enjoy. «»IIIII itiiiiimmiiHniinmniamHiiiHHniiiiiiiiMoiiiiM !

Everything possible will be done to make the incoming students feel at home. Miss Jones will meet all Freshmen girls twice a week in a one credit course in social ethics, Sophomores may elect the course. The discussions will settle many questions for the girls The Indian Office, Department of the Interior, of the present administration, stresses education as the solution of the Indian problem. The department asked for increased appropriations for general education. An act was approved in June of this year which included an item of two million dollars, for the education of Indians; this is an increase of two hundred thousand five hundred dollars over last year. The educational program of the Indian Bureau recognizes the need for greater teaching efficiency. It now requires reading courses in teaching and the attendance of teachers in summer training schools. There are about eighty-one thousand Indian children eligible for enrollment in school: twenty-five thousand are in government schools and thirty-seven thousand in public and mission schools. About eighteen thousand Indian children of school age are without school facilities, of this number ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1924 August 25 - Page 3 ---------- S.~\:3pgs|Sj|^ ¥• WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL Normal's Course Of Study Undergoes Big Change \ \ \ -4' / P *%^-- gt; ^^^S^g0IWm-^^^ '' NORMAL-BY-THE-SE A'' CLIMATE OF LOCAL HELPJOR NORMAL Ideal Location Proves Factor in Bringing Students. NEW BUILDINGS ARE PLANNED FOR FUTURE BAY AND MOUNTAINS LURE One of the outstanding reasons for the superiority of Bellinghani .Normal is the wonderful climate of tne .Northwest. This climate gives the student energy and iite to him becomes a thrilling adventure. He is filled with a desire to study, to play, and to get the best he can out of life. lie can lift up his eyes to the evergreen hills and snow-capped mountains, and know that they, literally, afford, protection to this location; he can look out on the blue waters of the bay and know that the warm Japanese current is doing the same. The balmy winds filled with ozone from the life giving qualities of these evergreens and the tang of the salt water of the ocean are delightfully invigorating. Bellingham not only has cool, delightful summers, but she has mild, pleasant winters. The evenly apportioned rain-tall contributes much toward making this an ideal climate. Electric storms are unfamiliar, thunder and lightning curiosities, and cyclones unknown. According to S. B.' Mayhew, U. S. weather observer, statistics covering 15 years, 1908-1922, are as follows: Average maximum temperature .. 50. Average minimum temperature.... 40.0 Average hottest day 84.8 Average annual snowfall (3 years no snowfall) inches 9.55 Average rainfall (inches) 31.9 The student who is not a native of this Northwest remembers how hot it was in the summer back home, and how cold in the winter; he remembers the havoc wrought by electric storms and cyclones, and because there are none of these unpleasant conditions here, this climate seems to him the climate of a veritable Garden of Eden.

A rearrangement of offices in this building wnl also have taken place. A larger athletic field is even now needed and the question to be decided is where to purchase the ground lor this purpose. Bebb and Gould, architects from Seattle are now working on the building plans which will be discussed later iii a conference with the President and Board of Trustees. If- the plans are approved by the Legislature, the building should begin in the near future. What the first new building will be has not yet been decided upon. . o INTELLIGENCE TEST FOUND VALUABLt Requirement Benefits Both the Student and Faculty. Can Embryo Teachers Ever forget Normal-By- The-Sea ? The intelligence test, the ''bugbear" of the .Normal student, has proved to be of great value to the student and instructor alike since Mr. Kolstad first inflicted it on students in 1919. Three tests have been given since then, the Army Alpha, the Otis Self Administering test, and the Thorndike test for high school graduates, which is still in use. A ruling was passed by the faculty requiring that a test of all who received a certificate. The Normal ranks high among the schools of the country as to Can you, oh students -j'ho are leaving Bellingham, ever think of it without seeing the bay sparkling, shimmering in the sunlight, gray and forboding 'neath the clouds ? Can you hear the name of the city without the "splash, splash," of angry waves, the uncanny sound of the fog horn, or the swish of waters on the sands coming to your ears? Will you forget the wondrous sight from Sunset when the big red sun turned the dull-blue and gray of sky and bay to gorgeous colors? As our own poet, Ella Higginson, says: •'Inspired of God were they who chose this place . Wherein to build these walls of softest rose, Whose every slender pane at sunset glows i gt;ike burnished gold and fires with mystic grace The wooded loveliness of Sehome hill." Bellingham had just the church you wanted to attend. The very kind of show you wanted to see was sure to be found. Did you swim, hike or row ? You took your choice. The book you needed most could be found in one of the public libraries. Your walks were brightened by flowers and trees. * * * * * Can you forget the Normal, where you sighed over note books and outside reading—the building, ivy covered—the campus—Sehome—the checkered roof of Baughman's on the corner?

The sun moves slowly down the flaming West And flings its rays across to set aglow The islands rocking on the cool waves' crest And the glistening domes of snow on snow.

PICTURE OF BEAUTY NEVER FORGOTTEN Beautiful Setting of the School Bound to Linger in Memory. the superiority of students enrolled. The chief uses of the test at first were to aid the scholarship committee in deciding whether the student was able to carry the work he was trying to enroll for and whether he was working to the full extent of his capacity. The comparison of their I. Q. and their class grade furnishes a check to the instructors. The tests have proved to be of benefit however, to the students in comparing what he is doing with what he is able to do. It shows him whether he is wasting time, either by not working or by attempting something too difficult for him to succeed in doing. o DID YOU KNOW?

Men of mettle are constantly on the lookout for new fields to conquer. Such a field exists in the Junior High School. Nowhere else is there a greater demand with so little competition. Comparatively few have been trained for this work, hence the vacancies. The most important requisite is a compre liension of the new philosophy of education which is rapidly replacing the old disciplinary system to meet the de- SCENIC VIEWS TAKEN NEAR BELLINGHAM, SHOWING BAKER, ISLAND IN LAKE WHATCOM, AND SOUND Situated on one oi tlie iuiest bays oi x'uget bound and surrounded by pine and snow-clad mountains, Bellingliam nas lew rivals tor variety and beauty oi surrounding scenery, xiie many lakes, streams and the bay, attract fisherman and swimmer; quiet nootcs along shady Highways invite the camper; the hiker dons his khaki and with a pack on his back and a song in his heart climbs up, up to the snow.

COURSES OF STUDY MAKE BIG FOR COMING YEAR Year of Continuous Work in World Literature Required NO MAJORS OR MINORS mands of modern society. The Normal course is being organized to meet the demand for Junior High School teachers as everywhere the elementary schools are being re-organized on this basis, which has ben retarded on account of the war. The great problem of the Junior High School is the adolescent boy. Experience has taught that no one is so fitted to solve this problem as a broad-minded, well trained, sympathetic man. The boy may look to such as one who understands the boys problems and perplexities through his own similar experiences. For this reason men are employed here more than in ordinary seventh and eighth grade higher salaries are offered. work and DID YOU KNOW? That California has 11 teachers' colleges, Washington 6, and Oregon 2? The courses of study for the coming year have been revised and changed considerably. In the new courses no majors and minors are required, but substituted for them are four prescribed curricula; namely, Primary, Intermediate, Rural and Grammar Grade. The work in each of these courses is specified except in the Grammar Grade course, where there are twenty-three elective credits. The new course of study has some attractive special features. A year of continuous work will be required of all freshmen in world literature; in intro-ducton to contemporary civilization, and in science. These lines will serve as a background to develop a philosophy of life. The Education department will build on a philosophy of education. Courses in Music and Art are also required, and for those specializing in intermediate and primary work Industrial Art is another requirement. Since the state law forbids commercial education to be taught in the Normal Schools, the work of the Commercial Department will be dropped. Typewriting, however, may be taken as an elective for one quarter. A one credit course in Social Ethics will be given by the Dean of Women. Standard in English Raised. Every entering student will be given a test covering the essentials in the mechanics of written English. This will include examination in punctuation, spelling and grammar. In addition to the entrance test the English Depart-ent reserves the right to pass judgment on the student's ability to write and speak English as revealed in class recitations and in written work handed to instructors in all departments. Students who are markedly deficient in the fundamentals of written and spoken English will be assigned to such courses as may best meet their needs.

ORCHESTRA IS PROMINENT The students of the Bellingham State Normal have been especially fortunate in hearing the best in music the past year. The Women's musical club of the city, the artists who appear in the assemblies, and the various musical organizations within the school have all contributed to the varied program that has entertained the student body. One of the most prominent organizations of the school is the orchestra, composed of twenty-five pieces, under the direction of Mr. John Roy Williams. This orchestra has played in assembly, and on various other occasions. The Hoys' (ilee Club, under Mr. Harrison Raymond, the girls' Clef Club, and the Quartet have also delighted the students at various times. An important performance was the "Elijah," an oratorio given by the entire choral club, during the summer session. Chautauqua Pleases. At the annual Chautauqua, students were given the opportunity of hearing De Koven's famous opera, '"Robin Hood,' played by a remarkable cast. The excellent music, beautiful costumes, and clever acting charmed those who saw it. The Ault Concert Artists, a baritone, tenor, soprano, and contralto, also appeared in the chautauqua program, and were heard with a great deal of pleasure. In the assemblies and evening programs, world-famous artists have appeared. Mischa Levitski, who is one of the world's greatest pianists, and has played with the Russian New York Symphony, will always be remembered by his audience. Marie Sundelius, who sang at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, charmed her audience with her rich contralto voice and delightful personality. The Tollefson Trio gave the first musical number of the year, October 20th. The trio is composed of a piano, violin, and cello. The school was fortunate in hearing the Kansas City Little Orchestra, composed of twenty-four artists, during their concert tour of the West. Others that have entertained the student body are Paul Althouse, baritone; the Armstrong Trio, violin, cello and piano; and Miss Florence V. Orr, contralto, of Seattle. Glee Clubs Visit School. The Glee Clubs from the various colleges and universities, and also the glee club chosen from employees of the Great Northern Railway company, gave programs here, during their annual tours of the state. During the summer quarter, many artists have been seured from the Cornish School in Seattle. This school ranks among the best in the United States in maintaining high standards, and is the only one of its kind in the Northwest. Maurice Le Plat, violinist, and John Hopper, pianist, captivated the audience to such an extent during their first appearance that they were secured again, in conjunction with Walter Nash, cel-iist, and Mrs. Walter Nash, accompanist. Eugene Field Musser, also of the Cornish School, gave a beautiful and interpretive rendition of the compositions of the old masters as well as some of the modern composers. Another outstanding musical event of the year was the appearance of the Spargur Quartette, the leading quartette of the Northwest, composed of John Spargur, leader and first violinist; Mr. Ritchie, second violinist; Mr. Col-leng, viola, and Mr. Kirchner, cello. o DID YOU KNOW? That the Horseshoe contests attracted thirty Normal girls to that manly sport? , j«|$ STUDENTS DO NOT NEGLECT SOCIAL LIFE Faculty Approval is Given of Supervised Dancing. The social life of the Normal is not neglected by the number of teas, recreation hours, and social events of all kinds and descriptions given during the year. The all student party at the Armory, with its splendid music, flowers, games and dancing will never be forgotten by those attending. "Campus Capers" and the brilliantly lighted campus, on the evening of August 15th was another event. The square dances, popular steps, fortune tellers, side shows and the punch table made an enjoyable impression not soon to be lost. Teas, dances, picnics, receptions and every other sort of social gathering have been had in quantity too numerous to permit of separate mention. In fact, looking back upon life as a Xoral student, it was not all work after all. Remember how each Wednesday and Friday, between four and five o'clock, classes were dismissed and the whole school enjoyed an hour of fun. Wednesday's recreation hour was devoted to playing enjoyable games and learning new ones on the campus or in the gymnasium. Friday's hour will long be remembered as the time of social dancing in the Gym. The faculty recognized the fact that dancing has come to stay and solved the problem in this school by encouraging it in the best forms under the best conditions. Pleasant memories will always cling about this hour associated so closely with Tiny's orchestra. rawspi fl(2)u ! lt;3 gt; * f c G-oA Old T gt; W»£t ~Tr»il TENNIS SLICKERS NEXT YEAR OFFERS CULTURAL PROGRAM Normal and Women's Club Combine to Secure Well Balanced Course. DRAMA AT NORMAL IS GREAT FEATURE Short Review of Year's Work Recalls Fine Talent. The coming year offers an entertaining and instructive program in music, lectures and drama. The Normal and the Women's Music club have combined to give Normal students a program of musical numbers which bids fair to surpass anything of its kind heard in this locality. The well balanced program will consist of seven numbers in all, a baritone, a pianist, a contralto, a coloratura soprano, a harpist, a string quartet, and a lyric tenor. Louis Graveure, world renowned baritone, will give the opening number, November 14. Mie-czyslaw Munz, sensational young Polish pianist, will appear December 12. February 10, Alberto Salvi, world's greatest concert harpist, will play. The Flon-zaley Quartet, for twenty years the supreme stringed instrument quartet in this country, will be presented April 16. Tito Schipa, premier lyric tenor of the Chicago Opera Company, will be heard May 7. Five prominent lecturers have been engaged to address students in the That drama takes a leading part in activities of the school is evident by the quality of the plays presented this year. Among those recalling the pleasantest memories are the three one-act plays, ••Riders to the Sea," "Three Pills in a Bottle," "Spreading the News"; and "Intimate Strangers," written by Booth Tarkington, and "Iebound," by Owen Davis. This summer the lovers of drama were fortunate in having several excellent productions offered them. Melcena La Follet Knettle, of Everett, was one of the entertainers. She rendered a one-act play, "Neighbors," by Zona Gale; "The Lights of a Hundred Cities," by Alfred Noyes; and a selection from Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew." Many students took advantage of the Chautauqua as tickets are always offered at half price to students. This year it presented De Koven's comic opera "Robin Hood." Paula Ayers, contralto, taking the role of Alan a Dale. Lovely costumes, clever acting and excellent music, combined to make it the feature number of the entire program. Under the direction of Mr. Hoppe, the Drama Club presented one of the biggest events of the summer, Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night." It was given early in August in the specially constructed "Greenwood Theater." The production was elaborate in detail and notable for the excellent talent enlisted and the careful work done. Those who participated in the production were members of the various classes in public speaking. SUCCESSFUL SPORTS SEASON REPORTED Boxing to Be Given Again Next School Year. Sports have proved popular this year with the men of the school, and the Normal reports a successful year in football, basketball, baseball, track tennis and horseshoe. Boxing was given for one quarter and will be given again next year. Clean sportsmanship is the only kind taught and encouraged at the Bellingham Normal. The Vikings won the Intra Normal football championship, taking three games and tying two. The basketball squad won eight games out of twelve, and scoring 370 points against 313 for the opponents. The track team took second place in the tri-Normal track meet losing first place to Cheney by a single point. The baseball season opened very successfully but did not prove as bright as expected, the Normal winning about half of the games played. Two full tennis tournaments have been held, and the star players showed up well. Qnite a number participated in the city tournament. The men's single tournament of the summer was a "round robin" affair, and a prize of a high grade tennis ball was offered to.anyone who could advance in position. A new form of sport was introduced when the horseshoe courts were established on the athletic field. months of October, December, January, February and March, respectively. The Moroni Olsen players who will be remembered for their excellent presentation last winter of Bernard Shaw's play "Candida," are scheduled to give three interesting plays during the coming year. The first, "Kempy," to be given in October, was described in the Theater Magazine as "one of the most enjoyable occasions that the end of the season has given us." "You and I," the second play won the Harvard prize in 1922. One critic says that this play lives in one's memory because it deals with a significant aspect of American life. It will be presented in January.

The object of this club is to salvage | intellectuals and to seek out potential geniuses. In short its plan is to establish a new center of education, a super-school. In the beginning this club was simple and extremely quixotic, but from that humble beginning it has expanded and grown until now with its carefully selected teachers and scholars an unhear-led school of geniuses has been created and maintained. Chartered by the State of New York, it has recently established an educational foundation of over $1,000,000. Dr. Dewey says, 'Most competent authorities now agree that the millenium can never be brought about by soldiers, police, or legislation. "We must make people prefer to live better and want the best influences and this can only be done by education. "Our greatest economic mistake is scrapping so many of the world's teachers before they have rendered their full service. The course of the world is shaped by its millionth man. "But this potential millionth man is often lost to the world because he has not been found and trained for his great possibilities. We propose to find these millionth men and women. Through them we can change the future of the world." EMINENT NOVELIST DIES IN ENGLAND Joseph Conrad, Lover of Sea Life, Has Two Careers. GASH PAID FOR BOOKS BRING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE We Will Take It If It Is Not Too Old, or in Too Poor Condition B A U'G H M A N 'S High at Cedar Joseph Conrad, a native of Poland, and one of the world's greatest authors, died Sunday, August 3, at his home in Bishopsborne, England. e was 67 years old and during this short span of life he had had two ca reers. He had seen active service in the merchant marine on the deep seas and he has scaled the peak of English novel-writing in his day. He never forgot the sea and from time to time he returned to it, even after he became an eminent novelist. He liked the sea life because there he had time to think during the long silences. He wrote, "the sight of human affairs deserves admiration and pity. They are worthy of respect too. And he is not insensible who pays them the undemonstrative tribute of a sigh which is not a sob and a smile which is not a grin." His stories are mostly of the sea. "Typhoon," "Nigger of Narcissus," and the "Mirror of the Sea" are some of his well known works. "The Eover" is one of his latest books and one of the worlds recent "Best Sellers." Creation, evolution, life, death. What is it? Who are we? Were we created definitely, purposefully a little lower than the angels or are we merely higher than the beasts ? Those who believe in divine creation have brought those with the evolution theory to a stop, a look, and a listen by presenting a few interesting facts relative to our heritage on the Normal bulletin board. Back of the theory of evolution stand many scientists and their works—arguments, assertions and proofs of our evolution from the original spark of life. On the other side stands the Bible and its champions uncompromising, positive that we are children of a definite, wonderful idea and lawful claimants to a birthright that no other animals possess. The' truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about our creation is what we want. The problem is to find it! Darwinians have proof, their adversaries have proof. Until that day shall come when it is proved beyond all doubt what the principle back of it all is we shall have to read and reason and realize to the best of our ability and according to our best judgment. By evolution, it is not necessarily meant that our hairy ancestors sat in trees uttering senseless gibberish and hurling cocoanuts at one another. It means that slowly, painfully our predecessors climbed upward from the first manifestation of life, assimilating, overcoming, eliminating, growing, varying, changing, adapting, until like an outworn skin our past handicaps, liabilities, and encumbrances were left behind and we emerged better creatures. Some of our fellow cratures because of diversions in their stages of development took different roads and by-paths and that is why they are where they are.

A measure which deserves the intensive study of every prospective teacher is Initiative Bill No. 50, dealing with the 40-rnill limit tax. It is of vital importance that every student understand the difference it will make in the school system of the state if .passed. By the terms of the proposed measure taxes on real estate which now average 71 mills would be limited to 40 mills. State taxes that are now from 12 to 17 mills, would be reduced to 5 mills. County taxes averaging from 8 to 30 mills would be limited to 10 mills. School district taxes ranging from 10 to 20 mills would be limited to 10 mills except by a special election. The election could not be held until a month after the school's budget had been prepared, however, and would need a three-fifths majority to pass. The city ^ ^ ^ ^ " ^ Bromk C°Td levy would be restricted to 15 mills. Seattle has a 26-mill levy at 1SS u n q u l s' present. Undoubtedly the land owners of the state need a reduction in taxes but are we willing to sacrifice our schools, temporarily at least, for the benefit of real estate ? —, o The College Club dinner dance at the Victoria Hotel, Saturday evening, was one of the most successful affairs of the summer season.

If I had not written English I would never have written at all.'' He never learned English until he was 20; he never wrote until he was nearly 40. Meantime, he studied several languages before he decided that English was the most highly developed lof all languages and that through the English language he could find the words to express his ideas. 1 English is not only a highly developed language, but a growing language, and we shall make no mistake in acquiring a thorough knowledge of it. If a foreigner could, through diligent research, acquire such a command of it that his writings not only brought him wealth and fame, but also made the world richer, what ought not those do who speak it as their mother tongue ? o "WHITE AND BLUE." Many times throughout the school year we get requests for the school song. If the words could be thrown on the screen at the beginning of each assembly, for a few times in the first part of each quarter, everyone could get a chance to learn and sing it.

Miss Carlson is a last year June Grad- Miss Druse, faculty members; Miss Ida Sunquest, Miss Belinda Carlson and Mr. Clement Carlson, Normal students, were guests at the wedding. Mrs. Howard, her mother, Miss Car-ruth and Mr. Ward motored to Vancouver, B. C, Sunday. They enjoyed the trip through Stanley Park, and the sight seeing trip about the city even though the weather was anything but perfect. o Mrs. W. Bell entertained Dorothy Shipley, Miriam Morton, Thea Cooke and Ida Gallon at dinner, at her home Saturday evening. o Rossie Henry and Vivian Holcomb spent the week-end at their homes in Seattle and at the Missionary Confer-ene at Vashon Island. o No quarter at Edens Hall would be complete in any sense of the word without a fire drill. In view of this fact Bernice Pashley, the Fire Chief, at the hall rang the bell and out filed the girls into the cold evening air. This excitement happened Tuesday evening, August 19, when all the girls were diligently studying their lessons. o Austin Bond. Austin Bond got lost on the last Hannegan Pass trip. The Bonds took Miss Ethel Wilcox, of the class of 1918, visited the Normal recently. She has been teaching in Portland during | t l l e t r iP a g a i n l a s t week-end and this time to prevent any mishaps they had Austin carry the cooking utensils. The clinking of the tin served as a bell the last three years. Mrs. J. J. Little, of Sedro-Woolley. was the guest of the Misses Dagney and Austin's family kept track of him all the way up. illlllOiiiiiinillHIIIIIIIIIIIItimillllllllHIIIIIIHII^^ Inspiration Point fuuuiiMiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiuwimiiinuiiiiiiiiiiioim^ iiiniiuiiiiiiioiiiiii uiiimiiiiiiu IIIIIIIC]IIIIIIIIIIIIC]|IIIIIIIIIII[]IIIIIIIIIIIIE]IIIIIIIIIIII[]IIIII[IIIIII[]||IIIIIIIIII[] IIIIIIII[]IIII OIIIM With Other Schools uoiiiiiiiimu iicaiiitjjiiiiiicaniiii umiiiiiiiioii imuiiiiiiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiuiii loiiiiiiiiiiiuimiiiiiiiiniiiHiiiiiioiiiiH Alumni Day at the Central State Normal School of Pennsylvania, was the biggest day of its kind in years. Thirty-four classes were represented,, with nearly three hundred graduates. The day was started with a baseball game, between the class of 1904 and any comers. Then followed a program of stunts, staged in the athletic field, and finally the alumni banquet, attended by two hundred. Lastly the dance, in the attractively decorated gym, where the younger alumni gazed in wonder at the graduates of classes which seemed to them to be ancient history, doing the latest dance steps. The class of 1899 was the oldest class represented, but it was represented by only one member. month term. School supplies are another large article of expense, while strange to say, recreation is the smallest single item of expense. It ranges from fifty cents to fifty dollars per individual. A health crusade has been organized by the women of the University of Missouri. Three upper classwomen from each women's organization in the school have been appointed to watch the physical needs of the members of each organization. Regular hours simple diet, lots of sleep and exercise are required of all members. The establishment of a state bank on the campus of Vassar College is being considered. The bank would be convenient to all of the students, and would give those interested in banking an opportunity to obtain practical experience. o Thirty-eight per cent of the student body of the State Normal School at Minot, North Dakota, are on a self-supporting basis, earning their expenses while at school. Twenty-two per cent are on a partially self-supporting plan, making a total of sixty per cent who are either on a wliblly or partially self: supporting basis. Some find it possible to earn board only, while some earn iheir Hoard and room either by working in the honied of residents, or by doing some other' kind of work. . .

On account of the exceptionally dry summer, the plants are unusually healthy. The students have been haunting the peat bogs in the vicinity of the University, around Lake Washington, in order to find specimens to experiment upon. o Students in the Mathematics department of the State Normal School at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, have become very much interested in their mathematical work the last quarter. They have been having actual work in the field, and are mystefying the entire school with their talk about transoms, sights, levels, et. Most anyone taking the course can tell off-hand the height of a mountain, the length of a bridge, the width of a stream, etc. Other members of the student body are becoming interested in the , course, and wish to learn to interpret the obscure terms used by the initiated members of the class. TWO POEMS By Madge Boyer "Thots" was printed in a book of verse gotten out by the University of Missouri Students. THOTS I. Does the wind sow the trees And the violets and morninglories In even, measured rows? Does the music of the waves, Of the birds and of the happy little breezes Find itself imprisoned in the barred cage Of rhythm? So with my thots. Beautiful they are as blossoms; Happy too; Others sweetly sad and poignant; And some are good, and clean, and kind. And helpful. Silver-singing streams and rush of the mightj' falls; Pure scented air from mountain pines; A tiny cottage, all colorful inside, With red-blue fireglow; A book upon a table, A geranium, scarlet, challenging sadness, Yes, a bare, snow-covered branch against the pane; Dusk, full of soft whispering flakes. his duties. He doesn't belong at sea. He's too good for this life. A pale, slim kid like him should stay ashore I m x^ ° Card of Thanks. H. H. wishes to thank all the ladies and gentlemen for the interest and suggestions offered through the student opinion column. H. H. does not consider most of the accusations worthy of refutation but has a few further remarks to make. Please note that H. H. has not broken any of the rules regarding student opinion. Consider, please, that there is value and satisfaction in getting "a raise" out of a student body —at least it serves to concentrate general appreciation. Then also know that H. H. has good grounds for her opinions, which will gladly be furnished PPPPP

They do not have any football teams or basketball teams or baseball teams;' they do not have any school dances or campus social evenings. The university buildings are stripped of everything of value which the invader could take or destroy. There is very little laboratory equipment; books are scarce. The students live in small unheated and unlighted rooms; sometimes as many as twelve in a room. Their food ration is nine hundred calories a day—if they are lucky. Yet there are students—thousands of them. That is only part of what James Glasse told us at the assembly last week, when he spoke in behalf of the World Student Service Fund. He was talking about the universities in Europe, and he was talking from personal observation. On his recent trip to Europe he visited many of the universities on the continent, and everywhere he found that those conditions prevail. Why do young people go to school under these conditions? They are not encouraged by the colleges. Each student undertakes his studies on his own responsibility. The professors give lectures at stated times, but attendance at those lectures is voluntary. There is no registrar's office to whom the student must be responsible for absences. There are no tests to study for, until time for the degree—usually not until after at least.two years of study. Obviously those students are going to school because they want to learn. They are demonstrating the desire to learn by working for an education and going to school under conditions which offer them only severe physical discomfort and much mental frustration. They have the courage of their convictions and that spirit can have great influence on the world in the near future. These stuc'enfs are the future leaders of Europe, but they will lead only as well as they learn to lead. What kind of leaders those students become depends, to a large extent, upon how much truth they discover in .their search for knowledge. They need books, laboratory equipment, and the additional miscellany of the student; however, they need, equally as much, an adequate diet, adequate clothing, and adequate housing if they are to keep emotionally and mentally stable enough to want to find the truth. If we help supply them now with the necessities they need so critically, we may be doing more than helping a few individual students; we may be helping to create international understanding based on friendship and cooperation. We may be helping to build a responsible leadership in the world which will work toward peace among nations because the leaders will have both the knowledge and understanding of the essential truths which govern human relationships. The students of Europe are sincere, just as we are sincere, We have with them a common aim, a common purpose—to learn. If we can further strengthen those common ties, it could mean much to us both. As Seneca said: "The highest good is singleness of mind, for where agreement and unity are, there must the virtues be. It is the vices that are at war with one another." More Skiing During Winter Quarter For Schusskens No meeting of the Schussken club was held this week due to test exposure, but vigorous plans for winter quarter are in the program. Of nearly 140 members in the club only 40 were present at the last meeting, when the name Schussken was adopted. Rumors hint at discontent among absent Fleming Confirms Building Request According to a press announc-ment from Washington, D. C, WWC's application for one or more government owned buildings, to use as lecture buildings on the campus, has been approved. Dr. W. W. Haggard stated that the approval came from Major General Philip B. Fleming, Federal Works Administrator. Allocated to facilitate the enrollment of veterans, the new building will provide space for an estimated 1200 to 1500 students, 600 of whom are expected to be veterans. The present enrollment is 918 of whom 451 are veterans. Made some weeks ago, WWC's application was one of ten others submited from the Northwest to the Federal Works Administration. Of the ten, eight were from Washington state. Needed to replace school space which was turned over to the badly crowded science department, the additional building will be used largely for lecture classes. The date the new building will be acquired has not been determined. "We have our eye on a certain building—not just any building, but a certain one—at Paine Field," declared Dr. Haggard, "which we expect to get when it is vacated." members of the club concerning the name, so a new vote will be taken by ballot at the first meeting of the winter quarter. Plans for the coming quarter include a ski trip on either Saturday or Sunday of each weekend. These are one day excursions and will probably be alternated from Saturday to Sunday each week for convenience to those club members who work. Occasional over-night trips are also planned for the winter .quarter. Starting January 6 application blanks will be available to those who wish to become new members. It was explained that the money accumulated from the annual dues set at 50c will be spent for expenses of the adviser accompanying the club and other costs which may arise. Valuable instruction is offered non-skiers who may wish to join the club but are hesitating because of no experience. With the best part of the year left for skiing and Mt. Baker so close, the Schusskens are hoping to be the largest club in WWC by spring. . Most of the student body will be resting during the coming holidays but the ski fans will be waxing up the barrel staves for the first schuss down Mt. Baker's slopes after Christmas. ••.••••\£*t«!y* ':^m.' Valks Consider Second Tolo On Friday, January 10, Valkyrie is sponsoring a box social for the whole school. The social will be held in the Junior High Gym right after the college basketball game. Girls! Here's your chance to get that man of your dreams. Just fix enough lunch for two, put it in a box with your name and make the box as attractive as you can. The boxes will be auctioned off to the men and the prettiest boxes will go first. You spend the evening with the person who has chosen your box. Rosemory Smith is chairman of the affair and her committee is working to make this first social for winter quarter a big success. Quartet Entertains Packed Assembly In an interesting assembly enjoyed by many WWC students, "The Mis-sissippians", America's foremost ju-ilee singers presented an entertaining program Tuesday morning in the auditorium. The singers, who were formerly on the NBC network at San Francisco presented a colorful and varied program with American folk music as the main feature of the hour. Also given were southern renditions of verse, and a serious talk on Americanism, and to add a varied note to the program, a piano solo by a member of the quartet. ' Among the favorite folk songs which were presented are "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and "Old Mac- Donald Had a Farm." The piano solos were the player's own compo- , sition of "Boogie" and "Miniature Rhumba." Ski Shop Quotes Low Rent Rate Feel like skiing over the weekend? Well, just drop into the college- owned ski shop during your free time today and for the small sum of $1.75, a pair of skis, ski shoes, and a ski rack may be rented for a" week-end. A large supply of ski wax, scrapers, and wax kits are also on sale for students who desire to purchase them. The ski shop is located opposite the nurses' room on the ground floor of the school building. tAn assortment of new skis was recently purchased by the school, and Robin Hood, who is in charge of the rental ski shop, had them . rapidly assembled for the benefit of students of WWC. - Christmas Vocals Enrich Program WWC's music education department, presented a Christmas program, Friday, December 13, in the auditorium before a packed assem-. bly. The program consisted of numbers by the band, choir, women's ensomble, male quartet, and several vocal solos. All numbers won enthusiastic applause. The assembly opened with the brass ensemble of the concert band playing several Christmas carols. The concert band, conducted by Dr. D'Andrea, presented Goldman's arrangement of "Christmas Overture." A Cappella Choir, directed by Mr. Bernard Regier, sang "Today There Is Ringing" (Christiansen), a nd "Glory to God" (Bortniansky). The Women's Ensemble, directed by Miss Mira Booth, rendered editions of "Allelulia" (Mozart), and "Christmas Lullaby" (Warren-. The popular male quartet presented stirring renditions of "We Three Kings" (Hopkins), and "Allelulia, Christ Is Born" (Slovak Carol-. Several vocal solos highlighted the program. "Birthday of a King" (Neidlinger) was presented by Duane Lewis, accompanied by Barbara Mclnens, pianist. Mary Ann Teichroew sang "A Song of Mary" ( F i s c h e r - Krantz), and "Noel" (Louis), was rendered by Gertrude Johnson, with Berdell Smith accompanist. " The concert band ended the program with their arrangement of Irving Berlin's ever-popular "White Christmas". Campus Movie At the request of Russell Skid-more, the board of control will sponsor a motion picture portraying various phases of campus life. Don Packard, president of the board, will appoint an editing committee to work with Skidmore. Pictures have already been taken of the Homecoming activities.. Most of the other major events of the year will be pictured. "This film will be of interest to alumni and to high school groups interested in knowing more of the life in college," stated Dr lt; Alan Ross, faculty sponsor of the project. | ^T Dateline . . .

Budget Studied; Bids Planned Bids for WWC's new heating plant were submitted yesterday and at 2 o-'clock, special meeting of -the Board of Trustees. Lowest bidder on the general contract for the new heating plant and steam trench was the Hendrickson Construction Company of Seattle. Their bid amount to $147,200. Other bids for finishing the heating plant went to F. M. Haskell of Bellingham, $88,826, for pipe and wiring, and C. C. Moore of Seattle, approximately $54,000 for boilers and installations. According to Dr. W. W. Haggard, present plans call for the dismantling of the old heating plant, including the familiar, huge smokestack. The site of the present heating plant will become the central heat distributing unit. Tentative plans call for the erection of the new heating plant 1500 feet south of the campus hospital building. Total cost for the project amounts - to $330,000. Only $130,000 have been appropriated for the building's construction and installation to date. Next Monday ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 December 20 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College .of Education, Beltingbam, WasWngtpr. Friday, December 20, 1946 Slated Tlews 'ficm Houses Y. M. C. A. As the quarter quickly draws to a close, it's interesting to look back on the events of the past few months and have a smile on things gone by. There were the pinochle games and intellectual discussions which went into the wee-hours of the morning. There were the birthday parties, the steam filled "little room", and the "egg episode." (Somebody tried to make a n omelette out of Clark Brown). Then we could go on to name the little contests staged by Arnold (Plashlite) Turner, and the antics of Alf (Loverman) Courtney. We sure will miss Alf when he leaves after this quarter to take off for the "wild blue yonder". At this time I would like to thank J. Wendell Brown for his moral support and inspiration which went into the writing of this column. Also for our little chats in 226, and for the "Story of Rosie", which I haven't yet returned. To Bill Tullin goes gratitude on behalf of the club, for getting a treasurer's book and keeping track of our slightly negligible amounts. It was a long walk across the street to the drug store, wasn't it, Bill? It's so long to Doug Roberson who is also leaving us after this quarter. Drop in and say hello some time Doug. V V EDENS HALL A merry aura of festivity supersedes the gloom of final tests. as girls make intensive holiday plans. Neither flood nor famine, nor fear of flunks will stop us from getting home for Christmas. We sadly waved farewell to Marge Parsons, who terminated her college career with the quarters end. But she is well started on another career, running in last Saturday night to show us a beautiful engagement ring. From us to you, best wishes, Marge. Pat Temperley, who will hear the chime of wedding bells Sunday, was honored with a midnight shower last week. Among' the gifts were a potholder, a potato peeler, and a can opener, which should help her in her first lessons in meal preparation. As we stagger down the front steps, loaded with bags and bundles, may we wish you all a happy holiday season. V V DANIELS HALL Well troops this looks like the last column the old Chap will be writing for the house on 1020 High. Since moving to Daniels I have seen quite a few guys come and go and there is one noticeable thing about them all, they are all such a swell bunch of guys. I wish I could stay right on and keep writing for the old joint but even the best of us get hooked sometime and it seems as if that time has come for me. A person can't put his feelings into words when he is talking about a boarding house, but I can say it has been much more than that to me. it has been a home. Amber has treated me as nice as any mother could have treated me and I would like her to know that I appreciate it. This is no time for a song and dance, however, so let's get on with the news and just say a farewell to Daneils with a "So long Troops". SOUNDS PROM A TOPSIDE ROOM: Leroy Wade was appointed in charge of getting our Christmas tree for this year and he almost spent the holidays in jail over it. It seems they have nice looking trees right down town hanging on the lamp-posts and Wade tried to cop a sly on one . . . It looks as if Howard Thompson, Cot Rice, and Ted Holtzheimer ever want to get in the "W" club it will have to be as honorary members . . . One of the troops heard a little Edenite received a one hundred dollar check from home and he has been phoning her every half hour since . . . Hark we hear the Angels sing, or is that a band of Seniorites serenading the mighty Danieleers last Saturday night, or rather early Sunday morning . . . Amber likes this time of the year, but she says it is the time two things usually get fired, the furnace and football coaches . . . Cal says: "If food prices keep raising before long it may cost a man as much to eat as to drink." The House of Daniels wish you all "A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. V V HOSPICE INN It has been a full week for Hospice Inners. The highlight of the week, however, was the house banquet Tuesday night . . . and what a banquet! When the turkey was passed around the third time, even Herb Witt refused a helping. The next hour was spent in group singing and then we went out to repay the visits of carol-lers from other houses. Incidentally, Russ Skidmore can't hold the title of "Wolf of Hospice" any longer because it has now been passed on to Jack Francis. Who was so eager to see the Edens hall carollers Sunday morning that he pushed his arm through the window, sending showers of glass on the early morning singers. Jack and all the rest of us enjoyed the singing, girls. During the evening of the banquet, several members received some rather peculiar gifts. Prank Gayda got a book called "The Bobbsey Twins" and Boy Paylor received a game to sharpen his eyes for,those baseball tryouts soon. Don Brown, who is leaving the house next quarter, received a lovely tea set. (Two tin cups and saucers.) Other events on the Christmas Social Calendar for Hospice was a luncheon given by Mrs. Stearns on Wednesday for former house members and their wives. Have a good vacation everybody, and from the members of Hospice "A Merry Christmas." V V HARBORVIEW Christmas is truly a wonderful institution in spite of finals . . . at least that is the sentiment around this house. Last Sunday night we donned our best bib and tucker for She annual Harbor-view Christmas party. Amid the gala wrappings of the Christmas tree exchange was found a brand new shiny electric toaster for Mom and Pop Elwell . . . then we treked down to Elwell's apartment and found a beautifully decorated buffet table laden down with the co-operative efforts of the house . . . candy by Dot Wern-stedt, ice cream by Dolly, Margie and Corky, a luscious white layer cake by Colleen and Pauline L., punch by Barry, Pauline R., and Lynn, pop corn balls and Christmas cookies by Mrs. Elwell, and the finishing touch of nuts and mints by June and Virginia. V V SENIOR HALL McLane-Van Sinderen Wed Poetry Corner Against a background of bronze a n d white chrysanthemums t he Rev. John King- Mitchell u n i t ed Miss Jettie Mc- Lane a n d Sidney Van Sinderen. Jr., in a double ring-ceremony in t he c a n d 1 e - lit St. James Presbyterian Church. The bride, who is t h e daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Archie McLane, Kasilof, Alaska, was given in marriage by her brother, Stanley McLane. and Joan McLane was her sister's honor attendant. Best man for the groom who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sydney Van Sinderen, Program Given By Musicians WWC's music department presented the Christmas assembly, featuring the College Concert Band, the choir, the vocal and brass ensembles and student soloists, Friday, December 13. For the past month the music department has been performing on various occasions. On December 12, the music department broadcasted over KVOS, presenting a Christmas program of music by the band, vocal ensemble, and a vocal soloist. The male quartet were presented at the Kiwanis meeting, December 10, where they furnished a complete musical Christmas program. Sunday, December 8, in the college library, the Christmas Vespers service was given for the public in the college library. The program included selections by the choir, vocal and brass ensemble, male quartet, and student soloists. A formal Christmas orchestration was given December 3, at the high school, by the city orchestra. A number of college students participated in the program. The music department deserves much credit for the entertainment they have given the college, schools and public during the quarter. Machemer-Cecil Betrothal Told Bride-elect is Miss Patricia Mach-emer whose engagement to Captain Walter M. Cecil, Jr., of Claypool, Arizona, was announced by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Machemer of this city. Captain Cecil serves with the USAAF, and Miss Machemer was a WAC flight traffic officer after leaving Western Washington College where she was a member of the WWCollegian staff. No date has been set for the ceremony. We've certainly had a very Christmasy week here at Senior Hall. We started the ball rolling with the decorating of our Christmas tree and the house Friday afternoon. Friday night ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 December 20 - Page 3 ---------- #I8M§?: .Friday, December 20,1946 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Miiiof £folts Pakaba... by lillibridge and jackson A FAREWELL . . . With this issue, Weary Willie warbles his last words into the columns of the Collegian sport page. In this weekly column we have tried to put into pleasing word expression the doings of your favorite sports figures . . . the Vikings of Western Washington College. Even though our prognastications weren't always right, still we always though they would be. We tried not to go stale reiterating the same words each issue, but when we did we knew you'd pardon us for our low vocabulary content. It is with a sad heart, and a happy conscience that we turn our page editor job over to Dick Burrell, wishing him all the luck in the world. He is a likeable, hard working lad who will always strive to please you. So with these final words we put our score book away. Our statistics are filed for posterity. We didn't, win much fame, but we hope we made lots of friends. RAIN IN FACE AT CAME , . . Big Chief-Rain-In Face got um son in college on lop of hill. Son, him name Drip On Pan.

Coach Chuck Lappenbusch refer-reed the recent Anacortes-Bremerton basketball game. ..Ana-cortes looks to be the class of the field this year. WWC's Inspirational Cup was finally found at a local jewelry shop, being shined up. a little before adding the 1946. award .winner to its list.of names. A thorough check of the school had failed to disclose its whereabouts. Our Bellingham High Red Raiders probably won't field a winner this year; still they could cause plenty of trouble to would be contenders. Now Wyoming University comes up with a 36 to 32 win over the Idaho Vandals. Trimming Pacific Lutheran 56 to 33, College of Puget Sound gives us a slight tip off as to the Gladiators strength. Montana's big teams are havink plenty of win trouble with the Winco teams. Turning to boxing: Ring Magazine, and the NBA rate Jake Lamotta, New York middleweight as No. 1 contender for Tony Zales title. Over in Seattle, Royal Brougham has been given the Seattle First Citizen Award as a tribute to his unselfish service to the community. A bill has been introduced providing for a fine of $1,000 and two years imprisonment for attempting to bribe a participant in a professional sports contest, this an aftermath of recent pro-football bribe attempt. Dick Zender in a woods accident, lost two toes on his left foot. Injury isn't expected to curtail his diamond career. County basketball race is expected to be a Donneybrook affair with Mt Baker, Lynden and Ferndale slugging it out for top honors. Big upset staged when Missouri whipped Illinois 54 to 51. By the way the UW Huskies looked very bad in winning from the College of Puget Sound. Mighty nice to hear that those of the fair sex are going in for bowling next quarter. In the old days WWC had some mighty nice women bowlers. Well, here I go back into my strait jacket; they are coming to take me away. See you around next quarter. EX-VIKINGS Two former Viking cage experts have made there presence known in the newly organized professional league shaping up in our fair city. The two lads who are making a bid for local fame by showing their ability in the art of basket tossing are Roy Wark and Sid Van Sinderen, a pair who have shown their wares for the Viks in inter-collegiate competition, and are now a vital cog in Captain Gale Bishop's fast stepping professionals. Playing before 1,300 excited fans at the senior high school gym, the Bellingham Fircrests won a well earned game, by defeating a crack Seattle Blue Devils club, 52-49, in a regular Pacific Coast Professional basketball league game, which saw Wark toss the decisive tally. Roy Wark clinched the game with a perfect one hand pitch which sounded like the shot heard 'round the world. Aided by some fancy play making by his former teammate. Van Sinderen, these Vikings, heroes of bygone seasons at the hill top school, spelled the difference between victory and defeat. A late comer to the Bellingham aggregation, a boy who also served the cause of the Viks well, is a fellow by the name of Cliff Gaffney. Gaffney, a speed merchant, quick thinker, and a good floor man was all that was needed to round out a smooth combination of former Viks; to be a decisive factor in the success of the local five in professional competition.

Holly Since 1888 P A C I F IC STEAM LAUNDRY 1728 Ellis St. PHONE 126 For the second time in his four years of football at Western Washington, Les "Snuffy" Smith was elected as inspirational player of the football team. Les was picked by the football squad and will have his name engraved on the school traditional cup. During the past season Smitty has played close to sixty minutes of football every game. Always a bulwark on defense he has many times come up from his safety position to make tackles. Kicker and passer deluxe, he is equally dangerous on offense. Not far behind in the voting was Byron "sure-footed" Grubb. Byron was injured during the season but was still called on to. do the extra point kicking. Good luck to two swell players, and much success in your future football careers. A glance at the inspirational cup tells us that it includes the names of five players. They are: Ray Sul-kosky in 1935; Art Bagley in '34; Morris Tarte in '35; Leon Alpaugh in '36; Frank Chorvat in '38. Winning the award in 1941, the name of Norm Nelson has not yet been added to the cup. No awards were given between the years of 1942 and 1946. Cardinals Top Writers' Vote As a tribute to their come from behind fighting spirit, the St. Louis Cardinals, champions in the realm of baseball, have been named as the team of the year for 1946. The vote was taken from the Associated Press' annual poll of sports editors. The Cardinals succeeded Army's grand football squad, winners the last two seasons. Giving the Card's a mighty battle, for first place, was the valiant team from old Notre Dame. The Irish scoring 19 first place ballots to 24 for the Cardinals. Army with nine first-place votes wound up in third. A look-at the final point total; a compilation of the 62 participants in the poll, shows us that the Cards scored 110, Notre Dame 105. while ---------- WWCollegian - 1946 December 20 - Page 4 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday/December 20, 1946 nlacs facts... h rom dolly "Glory, glory and salvation, today's the day of our vacation!"

Last week you ran an article on the back page which was supposed to explain the ASB government in this school. It seems to me that the article did more slamming than explaining. Now that the male enrollment at WWCE exceeds that of the female, it is certainly time to provide for a 4-quarter man position on the Board of Control, but why not put this in a form of a petition rather than in a back page story? To have an efficient student government, we have to have an educated student body (who, incidentally, will turn out for elections) and as the school paper is apt to reach more of the students than any other single source, it should play a large part in this education. Perhaps you could eliminate some of the dead-wood on the back page, such as Sketches From the Screen, Points From Forgotten Pages, and that platter chatter that creeps in once in awhile, and run some explanatory articles on ASB's government. Board of Control does spend the money of all the students and the sooner all the students realize this. the sooner the student government will become a true organ of the members of this school. —J. H. V Dear Editor: In one weeks paper, under the title of "Letting Off Steam" was a .letter to the editor that demands an answer. This is not intended for an apology, but is instead an explanation of the existing date conditions viewed from the male side. Even though the war is over conditions are still rough for the veterans, who constitute the largest percentage of male enrollment, and sixty-five dollars per month doesn't allow many dates, even of the more economical variety.

An attack drove deep into An Loc and overran part of the airfield, but the South Vietnamesedefenders with the help of U.S. B52s and American Fighter bombers drove that attack off, inflicting heavylosses on the North Vietnamese. In a second attack force of 10,000 North Vietnamese swept back intothe town and heavy fighting was reported in the streets, though few details were available because of theconfusion there. With the onset of night U.S. planes and helicopter gunships lost much of theireffectiveness. Talks may resume PARIS-President Nixon privately told North Vietnam the United Stateswas willing to resume the suspended Paris talks but "the response was this mushrooming invasion" ofSouth Vietnam, chief American negotiator William J. Porter said yesterday. "We are not going tonegotiate at gunpoint," Porter said in a statement made at Paris' Orly airport. He was returning after twoweeks of consultations in Washington. Equal rights amendment tagged 'bad' SACRAMENTO-StateSenate leader James R. Mills has struck back at women's liberation groups trying to pressure him intovoting for ratification of the proposed federal equal rights amendment. "Anyone who tries to tell me to vote for a measure that would send my two small daughters off to war isn't going to get anywhere," Mills said. The San Diego Democrat voted against a ratification resolution when it was rejected recently by theSenate Rules Committee on a 2-2 vote. He contended "the problem is simply that of somebody hanginga good name on a bad piece of legislation." Carol Miller, an attorney active in women's rights movementsaid Mills' "attitude is a classical patriarchial attitude." The women's rights issue is still alive in thelegislature and a similar measure is to be considered Monday night by the Assembly JudiciaryCommittee. Abernathy to speak in Seattle SEATTLE-The Rev. Dr. Ralph Abernathy, president of theSouthern Christian Leadership Conference, will speak at a rally here at 7:30 p.m. April 20. Abernathy willvisit here to organize a Pacific Northwest chapter of the SCLC. The rally will be held at the First AfricanMethodist Episcopal Church. â€”compiled from United Press International Editor says Jeopardy issuemust be considered in context Jeopardy editor Tim Kyle s a i d Monday that the controversy regardingpossible pornography in the 1972 Jeopardy has resulted from people searching for "dirty parts" andtaking portions of the issue entirely out of context. Kyle said that the Jeopardy issue has been"assimilated as an aesthetic experience and must be considered in its entirety." The theme of the issueis man-woman encounter, and Kyle said that it should therefore explore all aspects of that theme. "Forthe most part, the ad hoc committee (appointed by Flora to study Jeopardy) didn't take the theme intoaccount." Tim Hoyt, chairman of the Student Publications Council, agreed that Jeopardy should beconsidered as a total experience a r o u n d the theme of man-woman encounter. "I read Jeopardy and in my opinion, the entire thing, taken in context, is a worthwhile literary experience," Hoyt said. ACLUchallenges state residency requirements The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is in the process offiling a suit that will challenge the requirements that establish residency requirements for voting and thedefinition of an out-of-state student. The ACLU feels that once a person is a registered voter his domicile is in that state- and that he should, be entitled to resident tuition rates. A recent U.S. Supreme Courtdecision against Tennessee found that a one-year residency requirement was unconstitutional. Thecourt further found that 30 days would be sufficient to establish residency. Washington, as well as most other states, has a one-year residency requirement before a person can register to vote. Senate Bill 240 of the Washington State Legislature made the residency requirement of one year for other thaneducational purposes. The ACLU is challenging the residency requirements as a class action and iscurrently looking for a sufficient number of plaintiffs to begin the suit. English faculty differs on Jeopardyquestion by SANDY ROUSE Most English department faculty members are taking a wait-and-seeattitude on the Jeopardy magazine controversy,- but one teacher said College President Charles J. Flora was "making a mountain out of a mole hill." Jeopardy, the student literary magazine which isscheduled to come out next month, has come under fire recently after it was brought to the attention ofFlora that some articles are of questionable taste and literary value. "Flora is making a mountain of amole hill, and he is s u r p r i s i n g l y gutless and completely misunderstanding of the functions of aneducational institution," George Garrigues, assistant professor of English, said. Garrigues said he hadnot seen the issue of Jeopardy in question. However, "faculty s h o u l d not be publicly c o n n e c t e d with student publications," he said. "When an advisor's name is shown on a magazine, it indicates tothe public that the advisor has looked over the copy before it was published, as in a high school." Hesaid that he doesn't think the English Department should withdraw its name from this issue because itwould appear to be "bowing to public pressure." Also, he said he doesn't think that the editor should beasked that the English department withdraw their name. What Flora wants, he continued, is aseparation between the student publication and the faculty. If he orders Art affirms cooperation withliterary magazine by KATHI SANDBOE Art department chairman David Marsh said in response toCollege President Charles J. F l o r a ' s queries concerning Jeopardy magazine that he has gone overthe art work in the magazine and saw nothing objectional in it. He said that he has no reservations inmaintaining the art department cooperation with the magazine. President Flora had requested that theEnglish and art departments reconsider whether they still wish their names to remain on the Jeopardymasthead. Flora made the request after an ad hoc committee reported that material in Jeopardy was inquestionable taste. Marsh said that right now he feels the main issue is that the a r t department made a commitment to Jeopardy and that "to pull out now would be wrong." He also said that the issue ofcensorship is secondary to the fulfillment of a commitment. Although the art department has little actual connection with the magazine, one art professor expressed concern over the issue of prior censorship of Jeopardy. "No student paper should be c e n s o r e d , " Robert Urso, assistant art professor and pastcontributor to Jeopardy, said. "I am totally against prior censorship." Urso said he feels that since themagazine is funded by the AS it is up to them to decide on the issue of censorship. Homer Weiner,another assistant art professor and past contributor to Jeopardy, said, "Jeopardy has been one of thebest things on campus." He said he has found nothing wrong with it in the past. The art work in the pasthas been fine, he said, and often it has contained very excellent literary and art work. "I think it is anexcellent college magazine," Weiner said. "There has never been material in the magazine which isharmful or embarrassing to the college." Expert finds Jeopardy legal by JACK BROOM "There is noclear danger" that the 1972 Jeopardy will violate any obscenity laws, was the opinion rendered Mondayby Ken Grosse of the office of the Washington State Attorney General. The legal opinion had been s ou g h t by the Student Publications Council, which determined that according to current studentpublications policy, no action could be taken to censor Jeopardy unless publishing it could result in legal action against the college. The council had been asked by College President Charles J. Flora to givetheir "thoughts and opinions" on the Jeopardy matter. Warned by Jeopardy advisors that the 1972 issue contains a story which might be considered offensive, Flora created an ad hoc committee to study theissue. The committee concluded that portions of the magazine were not of literarv value sufficient tojustify the expenditure of college funds. When the matter was then forwarded to the StudentPublications Council, council members felt that it was not their job to analyze the literary andeducational merit of student publications. "This council is in no position to judge the literary value of any publication," one council member said. "That's not our purpose, nor should it be." In light of the legalopinion not obtained, council members agreed to work this week and decide next Monday on aresponse to Flora on the entire Jeopardy controversy. them to take out this particular story, ''then hemay be committing an unconstitutional act as-a public official." Courts have held that a public officialusing prior censorship was engaging in an unconstitutional act and he can be enjoined from doing it.Garrigues referred to a case where a U.S. District Judge said that the state, "having fostered a campusnewspaper, may not impose arbitrary restrictions on the matter to be communicated." This caseinvolved an article written by Eldridge Cleaver. The president of the college cut off funds for the studentnewspaper because he said some of the material in the article was obscene. Later, he set up a facultyadvisory board to review material submitted to the paper. In the past, Eugene K. Garber, associateprofessor of English, said Jeopardy has not had a particular thematic focus-, but for this issue, Tim Kyle (editor of Jeopardy) asked for pictures, poems, graphics and stories that were related to the theme of aman-woman relationship. Garber said he had not seen all of the forthcoming issue of Jeopardy, butaccording to the description he had gotten from Tim Kyle concerning pictures, layout and papers, itsounded very interesting. In regard to this issue of Jeopardy, he added he clearly felt that there was one story which fell below the literary standards of the other selections. Lawrence Lee of the Englishdepartment said he doesn't think that most of the department has had a chance to read the currentissue of Jeopardy, except for the advisors. He said he hasn't seen it, and he doesn't know what it isabout. However, "I don't believe in censorship," he said. The legal issues should be separated.According to Merrill Lewis the question of censorship vs. the excellence or lack of excellence of thematerial. He said that he felt that if it is a student publication, it should be in the hands of the students."The relationship of the magazine to the department is ambiguous, because it is a student publication,but its success of failure effects the success of the creative writing program in the department," headded. English Lecturer Benita Tipton said that it should be possible for faculty members to serve in anadvisory capacity without having the responsibility of editorializing content. She felt that the departmentdid not. define or consider its support of the magazine as involving either censorship or approbation ofthe contents of any specific issue. "It's desirable to have a student literary publication," she said.However, "Anyone who writes should be prepared to be responsible for what he or she has written," sheadded. Robert McDonnell, chairman of the English department, said, "Jeopardy is a good periodical and enjoys a fine reputation across the country. In our present discussions of the 1972 issue of Jeopardy, itis clear that we must be guided by the Student Publication Policy." ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 14 - Page 2 ---------- 2. Western Front , Friday, April 14, 1972 Front editorials... On the home front Is truth obscene? Aseditor of the Western Front, I'm beginning to feel left out. Mark Morrow, Fall-editor of Klipsun and TimKyle, current editor of Jeopardy have both been attributed with editing two delightfully nasty publicationswhich apparently serve as titillating experiences to some segments of our community. ^ ^ â€” â€” . ^ ^ , IfI had only known what the public really wants, I would have laden my papers with four-letter functionalwords, erotic drawings and suggestive passages. Unfortunately, there is nothing sensuous in a dormiepainting his room, nothing blatantly erotic in a story of library construction and nothing worthy of aninvestigation for obscenity prompted by President Flora, in the fact that our faculty is underpaid. It seems as if some individuals have nothing better to do that leaf through our student publications page by page,pulling every four-letter word of remotely erotic connotation. It apparently makes no difference whether ornot the words in question have been taken completely out of context or if they add significantly to thearticle. What appears to matter is the fact that the words involved (words, by the way, which manyindividuals use in everyday language) connote either a bodily function or a portion of the human body. Inall due respect to those individuals responsible for drawing those "immoral and nasty" words to ourattention, it is inconceivable to me why words such as "war," "hate" and " k i l l " are not placed on the list of unacceptable words. If individuals have nothing better to do than center all their time and concern onwhat I consider to be pure art and literature, then our society is surely doomed. I would like to take thisopportunity to extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Morrow and Mr. Kyle. The publications inquestion are beautifully executed. They should both be considered as human responses, and this collegeshould show its pride in printing and distributing them. Art and literature, from all that I have gathered from my many courses taken at Western taught, may I add, by extremely intelligent, sensitive professors, is a true expression of individualism, serving to enlighten those who view and read it. If I were Morrow or Kyle, I would defend my authors' rights to that freedom of expression and beauty. I would not disregard theabsurd complaints, but I would remember that the words and pictures appearing in my publications are for appreciation, not desecration. The complaints voiced about the two magazines have only served toreinforce my basic premise that the only worthwhile aspect of life is creativity and individuality. My hat isoff to you, gentlemen. Listen to those who criticize, but do not unwillingly destroy that which is beautiful.As for those individuals who find dirt in art, read Ulysses by Joyce and Lolita by Nabokov. When you'rethrough, take a walk through the Louvre in Paris. You may just find enough dirty words and bare skin tokeep you busy the rest of your lives. Jackie Lawson Should equal rights mean equal draft? Tuesday'sBellingham Herald carried an editorial concerning the possibility of women being eligible for the draft if thefederal equal rights amendment is ratified into law. It was suggested that "the public ought to give somereal thought to whether this nation, as a matter of policy, wants to subject its young women to the draftand unrestricted military service." Women are as much a part of this country as men are, and this has.JFW k been the real issue of the women's liberation movement. Women want equality with men in jobsand elsewhere, and they should be prepared to accept the same responsibilities men do. I do notendorse the drafting of men or women, but if women get federally recognized equal rights, why should weturn the tables and begin reverse discrimination against men with an all-male draft? Perhaps men willcounter the action with a movement demanding equal rights in draft exemptions. It would appear that inthe Herald's opinion, it is acceptable to risk the lives of our young men in war, but women should beprotected from this horror. The question is not one of whether we want to "subject our young women to the draft," but rather one of whether we want to subject anyone to the draft especially through a policy of sex discrimination.

As in the past, several thousand reporters submitted their stories for a crack at the Rubber Chicken. This list was finally narrowed down to a few hundred, whichwere placed in a pile and a torch applied to the heap. The survivors remained in the contest. The historyof the Rubber Chicken Award is unclear and is thought to have started sometime in March 1942 when areporter filed a story the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. In any case, the award has a long and boringhistory and most reporters say "No comment" when asked about it. This year the award is dedicated tothe memory of Dilmar Freebody, a cub reporter who had to cover a state Elks convention and listen to 14Grand Exalted Rulers tell why they were proud to be Elks. Dilmar gave up his life for the people's right toknow and was. able to file his story before his heart gave out. In the "Questions I Never Asked" category,Zazu Whizz, society editor for the Daily Reader in Mount Vernon, took first place after she went throughan entire year without asking one woman what she thought about women's lib. Miss Whizz managed towrite countless stories on women loggers, truck drivers and jack hammer operators and never onceasked if they were doing it for the liberation movement. "It just slipped my mind," she said when shereceived her award. Next in line was Marvin Goulth for the "Well-turned Cliche" category. Goulth, whilecovering a shipping disaster for the Burlington Quarterly, somehow found and Used every journalisticcliche ever thought up by reporters on shipwrecks. His story included the fact a ship was limping back tothe harbor after it was engulfed in a ball of flame, during which time survivors said, "All hell broke loose"and "it looked like the end of the world." Goulth explained he had to twist some arms to get the "all hellbroke loose" and the "end of the world" quotes, but he took full credit for making up the line about theship limping back to harbor. "Isn't that what they mean by sea legs?" Goulth asked. In the feature writingdepartment, top honors went to Barney Beegood, feature writer for the Whatcom Herald. Beegood had the distinction of starting everyone of his feature stories in the same way, "Webster's dictionary defines "Whatever the story, Beegood rose to the challenge and was able to find some word to be defined byWebster which would set the mood of his story. A typical example of journalistic excellence concerned an 89-year-old man and Beegood started his story with this, "Webster's dictionary defines nasty as filthy,disgusting, offensive and repulsive, and 89-year-old Joe Doaks is all of this, if not more." Beegood iscurrently fighting a half-million dollar libel suit over his definitions. For the "Best Obituary" award therewas no question about giving it to Barney Beegood's brother Harvey, whoâ€”like his brother-started everyobituary the same way, "So long, it's been good to know ya." He sometimes put the wrong time and place of burial in the story so people could get to know each other. The "Nice Guy For A Mass Murderer"category was won by Fred Pitts writing for the Family News. Pitts was able to cover every mass murderstory in the country and find something nice to say about the mass murderer. He was also able to getquotes from neighbors expressing shock and dismay over the murderer's deeds. Some of his favoritequotes are, "He was such a nice boy. Why did he shoot all those people? . . . 1 remember when he usedto teach Sunday school and wanted to become a minister . . . . The boy was always good to his mother,never forgot her birthday He was such a good Scout leader before he shot his troop." A special award foroutstanding investigative reporting went to Seemore Wrap, who discovered taxpayers' money was beingmisspent. Just how Seemore never said in his 14-part series, but he insists that he knows the money isbeing thrown away "by highly placed government sources." Finally the coveted Rubber Chicken Award.This year it goes to Melvin Burpin, social event editor for the Lynden Dispatch, who covered a MooseLodge breakfast, a Chamber of Commerce brunch, two Local Residents of North Carolina conventions and a Kiwanis Club awards banquet all in the same day without throwing up, even though at each meal hewas served Southern fried chicken and wilted salad with three-day-old Thousand Island dressing on it.Burpin managed to crawl to his newsroom at the end of the day and turn out his stories before he wasrushed to the hospital to have his stomach pumped.. .. â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ ..;:; ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 14 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, April 14, 1972 Western Front Letters: Editor's note: Letters to the editor will be printed according to space available.

Let me assure you that I also am concerned. I too desire a change which will r e s t o r e America to the democratic ideals we were all taught to believe in grade school. Unlike you, however, Icannot believe that democracy will succeed where those who are governed refuse to participate in theprocess of choosing who will do the governing. Few rational people would disagree that politics inAmerica is confusing or maybe even incomprehensible. WHAT IS YOUR ALTERNATIVE?? A poorsystem that can work is more acceptable in my mind that a "good" system that doesn't. I have beenactive in the McGovern campaign for two years, and two years ago they told us we were dreaming tobelieve that George McGovern would ever be considered as a possible candidate for President of theUnited States. Numbers of us have quietly and quite properly set about to prove our point, that through lo g i c a l effort and hard disciplined work we CAN influence American politics. And though McGovernmay not win the nomination, I am convinced that if fewer people would cop out on their civicresponsibilities it would be possible to elect politicians who WOULD serve the interests of the people.The greatest foe of anti-democratic forces is an active and involved citizenry. I have worked within thesystem for two years and I am convinced that it will work if enough people will realize that nobody willprotect their interests but themselves. I speak from the experience of two years of hard work and I saythe system CAN work. WHAT ARE YOUR CREDENTIALS AND W H A T IS Y O UR ALTERNATIVE? ' What we students have done before in politics has not worked. In over six years of campus activisminvolving mass marches, demonstrations and r i o t s what have we accomplished? The shortcuts oftrying to yell our opinions into political reality have not and will not work. Or is the memory of Kent Stateand Jackson already erased from your mind? The system is now committed to a change which theoverwhelming majority of citizens realize must take place. I think after the Chicago police riot of 1968 the die was cast. Change is going to take place either by violence or by compromise, and even theoppressors know this now. It makes sense that they would prefer compromise. But we will only get what we work for. Yelling doesn't work, it only gets people arrested or shot. And failure to participate because it requires work and discipline is nothing but a cop out. Stuart Hansen Huxley College Turn in a pusher a bummer Editor, Western Front; The implementation of the TIP program is a bummer. F i r s t , theconcept of rewarding one citizen to implicate another was a t e c h n i q u e used by the communistsduring the Korean War to control American prisoners, and it worked extremely well with quite far-reaching effects. It is already used in a modified form to apprehend "political prisoners" for irrelevantcrimes they were encouraged and persuaded to commit. Second, what crime is it to use drugs? Theuse of damaging drugs of some types is not only lawful, but encouraged. Certain cultures arecharacterized by the recreations they employ. If these recreations include the use of a particular drug, is that reason to outlaw that drug? Nixon and Evans say that action must be taken to stop the traffic indrugs, that drugs pose a danger to people and property. Nonsense. Obviously some people perpetratecrimes to finance their habit, so punish them as lawbreakers for these crimes, not because they use adrug. The alcoholic that shoplifts to finance his habit has never threatened the public's attitude towardthe use of alcohol. What's so different about heroin? John Sherman Technology Faculty blamed forrising GPA Editor, Western Front: Your recent article on the rising grade point average at Western wasdisappointing in that none of the experts interviewed pointed to what I believe to be the true source ofGPA inflation: A lack of faculty incentives to keep grades down. Unfortunately, the incentives to increase grades are numerous and almost irresistible: popularity polls posing as "teaching evaluations" whichmight better be termed teaching devaluations and which tenure and promotions committees seem toregard as indispensable, administrative worries over maintaining enrollment, students entreatingprofessors with tales of woe and misfortune, other students doing their best to make good their claimthat grades are meaningless, etc. â€¢ To stem this tide of rising GPA, I propose that Western institutea novel program of faculty awards to be presented annually to those courageous t e a c h e r s who, with no forethought of self, tenure or promotion, â€¢do 'Steadfastly and vigorously combat GPA growth.Such awards might include the following: The Ebenezer Scrooge Award to be presented to that skinflintprofessor most miserly with his A's and B's. The Hardest Hear Award for the teacher who unflinchinglyflunks the most students. The Great Expectations Award for the instructor who expects a student towork himself to exhaustion for an honorable grade. The Reductio ad Absurdum Award for the professorwhose quick mind and glib tongue enable him to talk the most aggressive, determined, dramatic andpersuasive students out of their arguments that they deserve a higher grade. The Squarest of the Square Award to be given to that individual who is so uncool, so ungroovy, so out of fashion in his dress,mannerisms and speech that students cannot possibly identify with him nor regard him as a friend or pal and thus are forced to treat him as a teacher and learn something. If this innovative awards program isadopted, I feel confident that the Western GPA's ungainly rise will be arrested and that the eyes of theworld will witness the dawning of a new age of academic excellence at Western. Robert QuigleyAssistant Professor of Physics Editor accused of copping out Editor, Western Front; I am disgusted bythe position taken by you in your past two editorials in the Front. While I do not argue with youranalysis of the American political system, I feel that your conclusion about what a person should do inresponse to it is as untenable as the system that you decry. Your basic fault, one which you share witha great many cynics, is that after analyzing a problem, you refuse to seek a solution. Your attitude that"since I don't like the system I won't participate in it" smacks of the old "take my ball and go home"mentality of our younger days. You maintain that you feel a "moral responsibility to every other humanbeing." That being the case, then I submit that you must become involved in the political pig pen. Aseditor of the Front you have tremendous power to communicate with people. In your position, you canplay an important role in demonstrating just how Corrupt the system really is. If you fail to do thishowever, you are violating your own ethical principles. If you allow this political system which in yourterms is "inequitable and undemocratic" to continue running the lives of millions of people, you are asresponsible as the politicians for the results. I realize that the idea of getting into the political arena maybe a repulsive one, but if you want to clean a stable, you have to get some shit on your boots.

Under theconstitution of the All-College Senate, the Graduate Council now falls under the purview of the recently-appointed ACC, "charged with a u t h o r i t y over all matters relating to curriculum, teaching, load,academic programs and the like (Statute 4.4 of the constitution)." The membership of the GraduateCouncil, including nine faculty members and three students, is now appointed by the ACC, with nochanges planned this year. The Graduate Council also reports its decisions to the ACC, with "impliedconsent" of the higher body "unless or until ACC chooses to review them." In a recent memo, ProvostFrederick Sargent II, the chairman of ACC, wrote: "ACC interprets this charge to mean that it shouldfunction as a coordinating body primarily involving - itself in inter-agency problems but not in intra-agency decisions except as they might have more general implications." In the meantime J. Alan Ross, deanof the graduate school, and other people i n v o l v e d , capsulized the responsibilities of the GraduateCouncil, as Sargent requested. The Graduate Council: â€”Adopts regulations for admission of applicants to the Graduate School. â€” Adopts standards and regulations for advancement of s t u d e n t sthrough graduate programs and for the awarding of all graduate degrees granted by Western. -Coordinates the approval processes for new graduate programs and concentrations proposed bydepartments, interdisciplinary committees, or colleges of Western, and periodic review of existingprograms. â€”Approves all courses for inclusion in graduate programs. â€”Recommends students for the awarding of graduate degrees on behalf of the faculty. -Approves for employment as graduate assistants in accordance with adopted standards. - I n discharge of above keeps graduate bulletin in continuingrevision for periodic publication. -Hears petitions with respect to variations from adopted standards.Western's lake property open Western's Lakewood property on Lake Whatcom is open from noon until 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

A fee of S1,000 will cover expenses fortravel, lodging, meals and tuition. Currently about 35 persons, including three Huxley College staffmembers, are registered for the six-week conference. Up to 10 credits can be earned by students, whowill be studying, on the average, four to five hours daily, except weekends. The trip will consist of twoweeks in Stockholm and four weeks in central Europe. In Stockholm, students will meet withrepresentatives and scientists from other countries. Each government will present a progress report ofenvironmental research and development. Meetings will be held with political representatives to discussthe international aspects of environmental quality and control. Following the conference, the tour willproceed to central Europe. The first stop is Prague, where various options will be offered to encompassall interests. Activities in Prague include a visit to Most, where intensive industrialization leaves drasticimpressions and meetings with political leaders to discuss the laws and regulations that play a majorpart of the area's development. From there, the delegates will go to Bratislava, where they will take asteamer down the Danube River to Vienna, Austria, and then will go to Geneva, Switzerland. In Geneva,observations will be made of the Rhine River headwaters as compared to the more industrialized areas of Bonn and Cologne. Four to five days will be spent in rural Germany, including Dusseldorf. Following astop in The H a g u e , Netherlands, the delegation will go to Brussels, where NATO and the EuropeanCommon Market headquarters will be visited. The final stop of the trip will be London, where government agencies and various news media, such as Associated Press and United Press International,headquarters will be studied.

The structure, to be built at the corner of Highland Drive andMorey Avenue on upper campus, will include a large meeting room, a fireplace room for smallergatherings and four or five offices. "The new building will actually have less floor space than the existingone," Porter said. This is because of the CCM's limited budget.

I I I I I I I I Gillette Company PaperMate Division Â© 1972 ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 14 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Friday, April 14, 1972 "Dare to Be Great" Think positive, it's your money by SUEGAWRYS "Dare to Be Great" has hit Bellingham. ~â€” "Dare to be Great" is a money-making planwhere members are urged to think positively and monetary success will follow their efforts. It claimsmembership around this country and abroad. Seven "sponsors" are in the Bellingham area planning torecruit new members. Members usually hear of the organization by word of mouth by those "in thebusiness." Robert Wexler, an employee of the state attorney general's consumer protection division inSeattle said, "They are currently undeT review by our office." The organization came to the consumerprotection division's attention when people began c o m p l a i n i n g about the organization. That officefiled a lawsuit Aug. 20, 1971, against "Dare to be Great." The organization consequently signed aconsent , order with the attorney general's office which explains in detail what "Dare to be Great" isrequired to do in Washington, according to the laws of the state. The organization also returned about$325,000 .to people who invested and subsequently complained to the attorney general. If "Dare to beGreat" doesn't uphold the directives put forth in the consent order at any time, Wexler said that his office is prepared to begin contempt of court proceedings. "Dare to be Great" has several direct salescompanies operating under it, such as Kos-cot cosmetics (Cot stands for communities of tomorrow),which involves door-to-door selling. Members may also invest in these companies, selling the variousproducts door-to-door. On May 1, a new state law goes into effect which prohibits c h a i n distributorsfrom operating in Washington. This could affect "Dare to be Great," Wexler noted, as it may comeunder the classification of chain distributorships. "Dare to be Great" began four and a half years ago inOrlando, Fla. Glenn W. Turner, a man who rose from poverty to millions, began the organization. Thebasis for the organization is believing in oneself and one's ability to influence others; A person mayinvest from $300 to $500, at four different adventure levels. He then receives 12 tapes with variousmotivation topics, such as "possibilities," which comprise the main body of the motivation training. After listening to the tapes, the investor recruits other people who can also be taught to believe in themselves and receives cash benefits as a result of the other people's investment. The new person invests atwhichever level he chooses for the course and recruits other people for investment also, thus receivinghis cash. Adventure level one invests $300, with $100 return for each new member brought into theorganization; level two is $700, with $300 return; level three is $2000, with $900 return and level four is$5000, with $2000 return. Members are encouraged to invest at adventure level four. There is not limit to the amount of money a member can make through the "program." Brian Morris, junior VICOED majorfrom Bellingham, was one of about 300 people who. went to Yakima Easter weekend for a "Dare to beGreat" presentation. He had heard about it from a friend already in the "program" and was curious. -People from Oregon, Idaho and Washington came to a Yakima hotel where two days of free lodgingsand meals were provided by the organization, he said. Yakima is one of the o r g a n i z a t i o n ' s "go-to-er" centers. The a t m o s p h e r e was comradely and accentuated the positive aspect in everything, Morris said. Discussion centered around the "program." The logic behind joining "Dare to be Great" isthat people can do anything they want and be as successful as they want, if they put their minds to itby positive thinking. Money is one of the areas where people can be successful, he was told.Impossible, if or can't weren't allowed to be said, Morris noted. Typifying people's spirit M o r r i s saidwere such statements as: "Don't think of the one hundred ways it won't work, think of the one way itwill." "Show me a man with average intelligence and above average desire and I'll show you a man whocan change the world." "Money is secondary. We're here to get people to believe in themselves."Speakers emphasized God, family, success, country and p o s i t i v e thinking while de-emphasizingeducation, Morris said. Members were encouraged to follow their impulses in making snap decisions. " I t ' s purely emotional. Someone is up front clapping and yelling. It's scary," Morris said. Caught up inthe enthusiasm, he committed himself to membership. "Soon your ego is so big you're saying 'I guess I am great,' " he said. He has since changed his mind, deciding someone would get hurt in the processof moneymaking. One of the Bellingham sponsors disagreed with him, saying that if anyone failed, itwas the person's own fault for not thinking positively. The sponsor believed, that "Dare to be Great"offered everyone the . same chance to make money and explained that the organization wanted asmany people as possible to enjoy success. Morris said the organization could work but disliked theidea. "They're the slickest people I ever saw," he said. Storm baptizes would-be Vikings by DANBENCKENDORF Not exactly in the tradition of Thor Heyerdahl, three students from Western, lastChristmas vacation, skippered t h e i r 1937 double-ended pleasure craft through Puget Sound and upthe Washington coast to Bellingham amidst some of the foulest weather that winter offers. SteveClancy, a junior in music from Bremerton, Jim T h o m p s o n , a junior in technology from Bremertonand Tom Price, a senior in technology from Gig Harbor, shared what was for Clancy the time when "Ithought that this may have been it for me." Clancy and Thompson, while shopping for a boat to live onlast Thanksgiving vacation, found the "Rosanna" in Olympia. The boat was high and dry on a cradle while work was being done on the prop gear. "It was big and ravaged, but we wanted it," Clancy remembered. The $100 down payment on the "Rosanna" bought them one sorely-neglected sturdy craft, a deadlineof December 31 for the b o a t ' s launching, countless weekends of travel between Bellingham andOlympia, 16-hour work sessions in the rain and wind and sleeping in the cabin of the "Rosanna" with no heat. "We had discovered that the engine had some water in the crankcase, so we ordered anotherengine believing that the one we had was shot," admitted Clancy. The new engine arrived in time tomeet the deadline but it was the wrong engine. Out of desperation, the crew pieced the old enginetogether. Clancy missed the launching because he had to come back to Bellingham for a five-minuteunemployment appointment. A 1937 pleasure craft "Rosanna. voyage up the Washington CoastThompson and Clancy slept in the boat the night before, they got underway. They discovered that the"Rosanna" "leaked like crazy, because the wood had shrunk due to being dry-docked for a long time."Tom Price, a long-time friend, was called on to pilot the boat because of his sailing experience which hegained on his 37-foot ketch. So, complete with "charts and doughnuts," they set out for Bremerton. Allwent well for the "Rosanna" for two and a half hours until the engine died from debris in the fuel tankgetting into it. After the engine was revived, they headed for the Tacoma Narrows bridge. "With asoutherly wind and a three-foot following sea, we were getting batted around pretty bad," Clancy said.

During thestruggle to stay afloat, Price had to be lashed to the Rosanna's tiller in order to remain in the boat andsteer, while the rest of the crew manned the pumps. "We made it, but we noticed that a 45-foot cruiserdecided to turn back due to the rough water we had passed," boasted Clancy. It was those types ofthings that got the crew "up" for the rest of the cruise. After they had f i x e d the steering and hitch-hiked into Gray's Harbor for oil, they enjoyed an uneventful trip to Bremerton. They tried to leave the next day from Bremerton but found that the predicted weather was quite the opposite of "fair." The"Rosanna" remained in Bremerton for a week and a half until Price got them all out of bed in Bellinghamto return to Bremerton for the last and longest leg of the voyage. So, on a Thursday they struck out forstudents, recently completed a Photo by Dan Benckendorf sea once more. With their walky-talky, which has a range of a couple of miles, they encountered a snow storm. With limited vision and some fairskill, they made it through a n e a r m o t i o n - p i c t u re proportioned plot when, half way toBellingham, they stalled, evidently out of fuel. They anchored themselves alongside a. shipping channeltrying not to pose a hazard to commerce. They were nearly hit by a tug towing logs and then by a shipheading for Alaska carrying explosives. The latter ship towed them back to La Conner where theydiscovered that the engine had not started in the channel because it did not "want to start." Finally, they tied the "Rosanna" in Chuckanut Bay and, having to once more attend class, they elected to ride intoBellingham. As for the "Rosanna," she is now here and well.

UPI-A game warden whose jacket was shredded by a mountain lion has been reimbursed $36 forhis loss. Jon N. Jones was holding the lion while a picture was being taken when the animal becomeexcited over a passing chicken. A supervisor told the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, whichapproved payment of the money to Jones, that "in the future, they are not to hold mountain lions to have their pictures taken." Jones received some minor scratches in the incident and the chicken escapedunharmed. by STEPHANIE SMITH Western has commissioned artists to design art work valued atapproximately $12,000 in connection with the Wilson Library addition. Two major sculptures, eachvalued at $5,000, and several smaller works, combine for the total. The acquisition of art is standardprocedure and is included in the original budget cost of most state and federal building projects,particularly those on college campuses. The $12,000 figure is less than one per cent of the originalbudgeted cost of the library' addition. Suggestions for the art were approved by the Board of T r u s t e e s u p o n the recommendation of Fred Bassetti, architect for the library project, and approval of abuilding committee composed of the library director, art department chairman and several other collegeofficials. F r e d B a s s e t t i was commissioned to construct a regular 3 8-facet sculpture of bronze,suspended in cedar for $5,000. Each of the facets will display one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, theten digits and the signs for pi and infinity. It will be placed near the south entrance of the library close to Haggard Hall. It was designed to be complimentary to the Niguchi sculpture, but with a different themeand materials. Richard Beyer received a $5,000 commission for a stone sculpture to be placed near thenorth end of the library. It is to be made of granite. From one side it will look like a smooth solid sphere,while from another side an animal head could be seen symbolically guarding the entrance. RichardLibbey, an. art student at Western, is in charge of coordinating student interest so that art worksdeemed appropriate for the library are submitted to the building committee for review.

Photo by Jim ThomsonInjured9 Western students aid in city-wide alert Western students recently got a chance to see whatmight h a p p e n in a city-wide emergency. Last Monday Bellingham held its first all-city disaster drill.The city contacted the Information Volunteer Center for accident victims for the drill. About 10 peopleanswered the article which appeared in the Western Front about the need for victims. ACLU here torecruit and inform The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a,t Western to recruit student membersand disseminate information about civil liberties activities. An ACLU representative will be in the VikingUnion foyer every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with information. The ACLU was formed to"protect the rights to freedom of expression, inquiry, privacy, due process of law and equal protectionbefore the law." ACLU efforts are focused on protecting liberty in Congress and state and local legislative bodies. In addition the administrative proceedings â€¢ of such public agencies as draft boards, welfared e p a r t m e n t s and. various licensing agencies are the scene of much ACLU work. The ACLU iswelcoming additional members. To contact the Whatcom County chapter, call 734-8022! During thedrill, the victims were tagged as to what extent they had been injured. Injuries ranged from broken bonesand simple lacerations to massive internal injuries and skull fractures. The accident volunteers weretaken by ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital to be "treated." Emergency operating teams were ready andwaiting to admit the disaster victims to the hospital. B. J. Griffths, sophomore, was a participant in thedrill. She works at the Bellingham Cooperative School, and took four boys, ages 7-9, with her asadditional victims. "We were handled calmly and effectively," Griffiths said. "They worked surprisinglyquickly. It's hard to imagine that they could have the hospital ready for so many people in such short atime, but they did. It was all very professional. I'm proud of our folks." Her students' pseudo injuriesincluded facial lacerations, broken legs, chest injuries and burn's. It was lots of fun and worthwhile forthe children, Griffiths said. It was an unusual chance for those involved to see how a hospital works, andquite an experience to ride in an ambulance. Could have danced all night but . by ALICECOLLINGWOOD and HOWARD SCOTT "If we come to Bellingham, w e ' l l travel anywhere," mountainfolk artist Mike Seeger said over a plate of roast beef hash Wednesday night. Seeger and 70-year-oldbanjo-picking, blues singer Roscoe Holcomb has just completed a concert and impromptu square dance in the Viking Union Lounge. Stopping in downtown Bellingham for a late dinner before driving to Seattlefor a concert the next night, Seeger and Holcomb talked to Western Front reporters. With a six-footplaid muffler wrapped around his neck, Seeger bemoaned the problems of booking his own tour, such as 40 letters and $120 a month phone bills. "However, once I start the actual traveling, I just relax andenjoy the people," he said. Holcomb and Seeger are currently on tour of western states ranging fromOklahoma to California. In San Diego, Holcomb will participate in San Diego State College's annual folkfestival. "San Diego," Seeger said, "that's where I once took fifth place in a national bicycle race."Seeger was brought up in the mountain folk style. When he first started entertaining, he emulated hisbrother Pete's more "songleader, activist" style, but said he didn't feel comfortable with it. He said thatwhile serving in a state hospital as a conscientious objector during the Korean War, he got to know a lotof country people and found he liked their style of music better than his brother's. "My style seems tohold to a lot of levels." Wincing at the piped-in music in the restaurant, Seeger asked a waitress toplease turn it down. "We have no control over it here," she replied. "Most people ask to have it turnedup." "That music is imposed on everyone," Seeger said. "If I l i s t e n to any kind of contemporarymusic, I listen to country." "Since rock, people are a lot more open to this kind of sound," he said."There's a revival of it." The revival includes people like Holcomb, who was discovered in 1962 "way back in t h e m o u n t a i n s of east Kentucky," by John Cohen, a mountain music collector from New York. He played only for local square dances prior to entering the entertainment business. A self-taught banjo and guitar player, Holcomb said, "I hear a man whistling something and just pick it out on my banjo."Both Holcomb . and Seeger, who plays autoharp and fiddle in addition to banjo and guitar, said theyhave difficulty switching from one instrument to another during a concert. "I tend to associate theinstrument with the song," Seeger said. "It takes me about 15 minutes to get into the style of a certaininstrument." "Because of that, I hardly ever play right when on the stage." "This was a very goodaudience tonight," Seeger. "In general, people who come to this type of concert react favorably." Hisonly complaint was that "it is too bad that people hand clap during a song with words." He did, however,encourage audience participation by promoting a square dance at the close of the concert. He spenthalf an hour teaching the audience steps and calling the Virginia Reel. Seeger said that because people enjoy it, he is doing this more and more. "People are not exposed as much to this kind of musicbecause it isn't into the mass media," he said. "I think this music should have a voice," he addedfinishing his hash and packing up for Seattle. AS legislature, Burke split on sidetracked constitution by O. K. JOHNSON Disagreements between AS legislators and their advisor over the role of the studentcaucus, r e s u l t e d in a proposed constitution being sent into committee for revision last week.Under the All-College Senate, the student caucus will replace the AS legislature, and will be composedof all student senators elected by the student body. The disagreement stemmed from arguments fromAS President Tod Sundquist and Kay Burke, director of the Viking Union and senior advisor to theAssociated Students, concerning both the role of the constitution and how student services would berepresented in the student caucus. The student caucus is designed to have non-voting members whichwill include one representative each from Student Activites, the collective Student Services and thecollective Student Publications. These people will provide s t u d e n t s e n a t o r s with informationrelating to the needs and concerns of the areas they represent. The purpose of the proposedconstitution is to organize the governing system of the AS in a manner to compliment the existence ofthe All-College Senate. "The constitution lumps together the AS executive and the academic concernsand services," Burke said. "This puts the services under a primarily academic group which happens tobe the student caucus." Burke had reservations about how the student caucus is proposed to fit in withthe senate. The constitution, according to Burke, seems to be replacing an AS legislature that haslimited knowledge in areas of student endeavor, with a student caucus that has about the same limitedknowledge. S h e d e s c r i b e d the c o n s t i t u t i o n ' s provision of electing student caucusmembers on an academic or departmental basis as not as representative as it could be.

The College of Ethnic Studies and Bellevue Community College are sponsoring a symposium onprison reform on April 22-23 at the Coronet Bay Youth Camp at Deception Pass. The objectives of the s y m p o s i u m are to get participants involved in prison reform and to let them learn the most effectivekinds of action to take. The sponsors intend to present a comprehensive set of resolutions to GovernorDaniel J. Evans' prison reform committee at the conclusion of the symposium. Speakers are expectedfrom the Urban League in Tacoma and possibly from the state parole board. Ex-convicts will lead thegroup discussions. The $7.50 registration fee covers overnight accommodat i o n s and four meals.Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. on April 22 with orientation following at 10 a.m. Participants can get amap and agenda from William Harris at the College of Ethnic Studies. Advance notice is recommended, but not required. The camp, can accommodate about 120 participants. representative of the discussion that has been going on for the last year than this constitution is," Burke said. The c o n s t i t u t i o nwas designed by Sundquist, AS Housing Commissioner Craig Cole, legislature speaker Chuck Broches and AS Business manager Rich Hass. Sundquist sees the problem of the caucus as a philosophicaldifference in the approach to the students. "We wanted to have a workable document that people canaccept," Sundquist said. "We have done everything possible we could do to complete it. The very people that were working along with us are now taking cheap shots that are detrimental to student interest. Ireally think the students have been shafted on this thing." Sundquist said that as far as he isconcerned, if the legislature rejects the document, then the legislature must come up with a constitutionthat is acceptable to Sundquist as well as every office and agency on this campus. "Legislature mustbear the burden now," he said. The revised constitution was scheduled to have come out of committeeand brought before the legislature Wednesday, after this Western Front issue's deadline.

The suspended enforcement, which has been in effect since April 6, came as a result ofa meeting last Thursday between Coy and Birnam Wood residents. About 100 people attended themeeting, at which time the decision was reached. Only the fire lanes are being patrolled by securitynow, Coy said. Another meeting will be held soon to decide a permanent solution. Students were invited to submit proposals for solving the problem, Jim Stevens, The Western Front is people. People like Terri Whitney and Jackie Lawson. Business manager and editor. Comparing ulcers. Photo by Jim Thomsonjunior accounting major from Tukwila said. The parking problem developed when some Birnam Woodresidents met with Coy late last quarter, complaining of not being able to get parking spaces in theBirnam Wood lot. Planners of the lot allowed for one or two cars per apartment, but there have been asmany as four cars, in some cases. Parking permits were sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, andmany Birnam Wood residents were unable to get permits and received parking tickets. A petition signedby 281 out of 452 residents opposed the month-long trial of using permits. Coy set up the meeting after62 per cent of the residents signed the petition. Bike help available All ailing and injured bicycles (andtheir owners) are invited to a bike workshop tonight, according to Dave Shannon of the Outdoor Program. The workshop, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Viking Union 304, is free and will feature Bruce Hauter of the Fairhaven Bicycle Shop as the local bike authority. Shannon said that anyone who wants to work on his bike or have it looked over by an expert is welcome to come to the workshop, which willprobably last an hour or two. He added that cyclists should bring their own tools and supplies. ***vÂ¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â¥Â»*** SEND THE FRONT t TO A FRIEND * tlTS ALMOST * i { FREE! J * * * * * * * * * wm\ STARTS WED.

One part of the proposal suggests allowing one course in either psychology or soc/anth asan option to General Studies 105 (Behavioral Science) instead of requiring both General Psychology and either Human Evolution and Prehistory or Culture and Society. It also proposed permitting one coursefrom the field of social science to equal General Studies 321 (Non-Western Cultures) instead of requiring two courses. The council decided to postpone accepting the revisions until it sees reports from thedissenting members of the General Education Committee and from the Committee for Curricular Reform, another committee of the Academic Council. Roscoe Buckland, chairman of the general studiesdepartment, believes a piecemeal .revamping of the general education program will imply anunintentional major conceptual change. "The program has in many cases reached a point where it is not flexible enough and in other cases reflects neither a general education nor an education in general," hesaid. Henry Adams of the committee which made the recommendations said that the committee wasunable to reach agreement on a major overhaul. The members especially disagree on changing thesequence order of the natural sciences. Mike Cosper of the general education committee disagrees with its proposal. He would like to see a block credit system in the general education program. This systemwould fill the needs and interests of students he said, by requiring a certain number of credits in eachdiscipline but not restricting students to specific introductory courses. He argues that a student cannotbe forced to learn a set of facts and that freedom to choose courses would increase enthusiasm in theclassroom. Many students, especially science majors, believe Option I is more desirable than Option IIbecause it leaves more credits of their college careers to be spent in their major fields, he said. Cospersaid that he has heard many students complaining of the low quality of their Option I classes due tolarge class sizes, student disinterest and the professor's attitudes.

Hitchhiking will be legal but the method whichpedestrians use will be subject to scrutiny by the Washington State Patrol. Bellingham WSPdetachment supervisor, Sgt. R. W. Murry said it is his impression the law is to allow hitchhiking as longas there are no problems on the roadway created by such a person. Murry cautioned hitchhikers fromstanding in the roadway or on a "limited access facility." A "limited access facility," Murry explained, isthe area beyond the signs cautioning against pedestrians or other non-motorized traffic. The driver of avehicle picking up a pedestrian will also be liable for a citation if the vehicle is stopped on the roadwayfor loading, he said. The hitchhiker should consider the ease and safety of stopping for a vehicle beforesoliciting rides and Murry pointed out that if a hitchhiker is soliciting a ride in an area that would bedangerous for a stopping vehicle or other traffic, the hitchhiker will be ticketed. "The Battle of Algiers," amovie by Gillo Pontecorvo, will be shown tonight in Lecture Hall 4 at 7 and 9:15 p.m. Admission forstudents is $.75. In the film, actual historical events are carried past the usual goals of fictional re-enactment. The viewer gets the feeling that he is watching live events.

Don Weisman, Viking tenniscoach, has been working with his netters this week on the basic mechanics of tennis in order to improve their game. "We are working on body position and court position as well as other fundamentals,"Weisman said. Weisman said that he felt his squad did not play that poorly against Central and that histeam would get stronger as the season progresses. The match against Oregon College beginstomorrow at 3 p.m. well be fatal to Vik pennant hopes. Western had a twin bill with Pacific LutheranUniversity canceled Wednesday. The Viks were to have traveled to Tacoma, but will try to make thegames up later in the season. "If we can get some hitting," coach Larry Vance said of the Central series, "then I think we'll do all right. We didn't get any hitting last week when we needed it. This weather is just killing us as we can't play or practice." Vance will most likely start All-Evco pitcher Don Balke intoday's game and go with Ricky Shadle and Leo Gauthier tomorrow. The Wildcats, led by pitcher DanHeaverlo and outfielder R. 1. Williams, also lost a three game series last weekend, dropping a trio ofcontests to Oregon College of Education in Oregon. Western defeated OCE 2-1 earlier in the year. "Weneed these games," Vance said, "not just to stay in the conference race, but to keep a chance for thedistrict playoffs within reach." Western needs to play 20 games against four-year schools to qualify forthe district consideration. Thus far, the Viks have played only four because of constant rain outs, and are only 1-3. .

Leading Western's squad are standouts Wendy Taylor, Shirley Swanson and Sherry Stripling. Taylor, a junior from Abbotsford, B.C.,has been an international competiitor for Canada in the 100-meter hurdles.

Each of the 50 American states will berepresented at the three-day convention by a delegation from Northwest college or university; Westernholds the votes of the eighth largest state, Michigan. The convention, which Viking Union Director KayBurke, and others have criticized as "high school," will be a t t e n d e d by Democratic presidentialhopefuls Henry Jackson, George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey; plus New York mayor John Lindsay,Oregon Governor Tom McCall and ex-Senator Wayne Morse. According to Diamond, the convention is of such political importance that it has been used to predict the outcome of the Oregon primary.Diamond, Western delegation chairman Tom Casey and others have been organized for weeks, wooingthe votes of other convention delegates over to Western's "side," a process Casey and Diamond call"setting up ducks." As a result of their pre-campaign work, Casey hopes to enter the convention as the most organized delegation and elect a Western delegation member as convention chairman. "It's atremendous learning experience," says Casey. Diamond couldn't predict how Western's votes will go, or to which candidate, but says that "it looks like the c o n v e n t i o n will go to McGovern."

According to anews release from Environmental Action, a n a t i o n a l e n v i r o n m e n t al organizaton, AEC's"proposed development of a liquid metal breeder reactor is to be studied t h i s month by the JointCommittee on Atomic Energy to determine the feasibility of the $230 million project. Environmentalaction says that the proposed reactor "does not solve some, of the basic problems that plague presentn u c l e a r r e a c t o r s . -' The new reactors would use plutonium which, unlike the uranium fuel nowin use, would "be easily used by unauthorized parties for the construction of nuclear weapons." Yet nonew security precautions have been proposed. With a large number of breeders active, huge amounts of plutonium would have to be transported. Y e t , a c c o r d i n g to Environmental Action, no specialarrangements have been proposed for a transporting the plutonium which is much more dangerous thanthe present fuel used by reactors. E n v i r o n m e n t a l Action believes that Congress shouldundertake a full -review of the p r o g r am by independent scientists before the program is funded.

Larsen campaigns in Red Square Tom Callis THE WESTERN FRONT Rep. Rick Larsen, (D-Lake Stevens) visited Western on Tuesday to speak directly with students. From 11 a.m. to noon, students had the opportunity to meet with Larsen in Viking Union room 567 and in Red Square until 1:15 p.m., said Western junior Kristina Mader, Students for Rick Larsen member. "I want to be sure that college students know that I care that they get involved in their democracy," Larsen said. "I want them to know I support an increased access of college education, I'm a strong supporter of the environment and I will hold the president accountable for his mistakes in Iraq." Larsen said he supports an increase in the Pell Grant system, which is the No. 1 source of financial aid from the federal government. Larsen said a democratic photo byTMatt Gagne THE WESTERN FRONT Ian Morgan (right) and Sara Buettner-Connelly (center) talk with Rep. Rick Larsen on Oct. 24. congress would benefit the nation by supporting* a raise in the minimum wage and increasing the use of alternative fuels.

WWU plans to build parking structure and clean up creek Owen Finney THE WESTERN FRONT On Oct. 13, Western completed its $2.59 million purchase of the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride. It has plans to rehabilitate Lincoln Creek and build a transportation center, parking structure and visitor center at the park and ride. The 7.8-acre site, which opened in the fall of 2004, is a parking lot providing spaces for more than 530 vehicles and features a transit station. The parking lot generally remains at full capacity during Western's academic year, providing parking for Western students, faculty and Bellingham residents free of charge. The transportation center would service the campus and city allowing for both Western shuttles and city buses to provide public transportation to students and Bellingham residents, said Donald Wynn, Western's director of facilities management. The parking structure, while still in the planning stages, would have three levels, a 500-car capacity and would be located on the southern end of the property. There are no plans to charge for the parking. "We don't have enough parking available on campus," said George Pierce, Western vice president for business and financial affairs. "There's a sense that this campus should be doing more for sustainable transportation." There are. ; also plans for a visitor center;; which' would supply transportation-information and feature a latte stand, bicycle racks, and restrooms, Pierce said, . ^ The work is set to begin in June and be finished by October 2007. r''.J'\ ;â€¢ V Western does not have the funds yet for the transportation or visitor centers or the parking structure, said David Willett, a Western architect. It does have funds to begin work on the creek, which winds through the site making roughly one third of the property unusable.

BOOKSTOB.K ---------- Western Front 2006-10-27 - Page 4 ---------- 4 | Friday, October 27, 2006 NEWS The Western Front Degree and GUR evaluator assists students online Kaleb Gubernick THE WESTERN FRONT Western's administration has implemented a tool that will help bring organization to the frenzied race of completing General University Requirements: an online degree and GUR evaluation. Available for student use in January of 2006, the Curriculum, Advising, and Program Planning degree evaluator was created to assist students in degree planning and GUR calculation. According to Western's GUR catalog, approximately 15 courses in six categories must be completed before a student can graduate. Keeping track of the completed courses and the courses students still need to get through can be a daunting task. Western registrar Joe St. Hilaire said the idea of implementing the program was born from problems students often have understanding the exact requirements needed for their degrees. "Some people might say that it's all right there in the catalog and if you read the catalog that will take care of it,'- St. Hilaire said. "But catalogs in recent years have become more and more complex and requirements for degrees are, in some cases, very difficult to comprehend." Western has 400 majors and that number is consistently growing, not to mention the number of concentrations, tracks and minors. The degree evaluator is a tool that makes keeping track of these variables easier, St. Hilaire said. "It's really nice â€” it's a straightforward yes or no answer to all the courses," said Michael Green, a sophomore at Western and employee at the Advising Center in Old Main. These yes or no answers are what the program outputs after a student runs an evaluation, giving the student a heads up as to which requirements they have yet to meet. Linda Luke, the program manager for Western, said there are a few warnings students should consider when using the degree evaluator. For example, not all degree programs have been set up within the system, such as the history major, the bachelor of fine arts and student-faculty designed majors for both Western and Fairhaven College. Students completing the GUR sequence used prior to fall quarter of 2005 will experience trouble, as the degree evaluator only uses the GUR requirements put into effect after that quarter.

Last year 179 Western donors pledged $50,388 to 132 organizations, said Tim Wynn, head of Western's Combined Fund Drive. The Combined Fund Drive is the only campaign state employees are authorized to participate in on state time, Wynn said. The drive allows state employees to donate directly to nonprofit organizations but a large number of people contribute to the drive as a whole which spreads those donations around to // "The Combined Fund Drive is important because I think it shows that we care about other people â€” that you are willing to help them.' - Karen Morse President of Western each of the organizations, he said. Wynn said 12 percent of Western staff participated last year and he hopes they can exceed that this year. Western donors include President Karen Morse. "The Combined Fund Drive is important because I think it shows that we care about other people â€” that you are willing to help them," Morse said. "I donate through the drive because this gives me an avenue that shows that the university is committed to helping people." One of the organizations that benefits from the drive is Whatcom County Big Brothers Big Sisters. Organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters rely completely on donations to provide their services to the community. "We live and breathe on donations," said Linda Ballasy, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Washington. "We wouldn't be able to operate our organization without them." Through donations and volunteers, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Whatcom County is able to provide one-on-one mentoring for approximately 200 children, said Patty Lagerwey, 57, Whatcom County Big Brothers Big Sisters school buddies coordinator. While Lagerwey spends the work week matching volunteers with children at local schools and she also served as a personal mentor to Crissa, a 13-year-old, for the last six years. Children such as Crissa," whose single mother works 60 hours a week, benefit immensely from the one-to-one mentoring provided by Big Brothers Big Sisters, Lagerwey said. "I have been able to show her that there is another person in her life that cares about her," she said. "That's what our program is about, providing a friend to a child."

This fall, off-campus students have a new reason to party: a program that helps them avoid getting busted. After more than a year of research and collaboration, the Campus Community Coalition launched "Off- Campus WWU: a student road map to neighborhood living," a site committed to helping students get along better in their neighborhoods by encouraging them to communicate with neighbors before having a party. "We believe if students are more integrated in their neighborhoods they might be less apt to have loud, disruptive parties related to alcohol misuse," said Susan Adams, Campus Community Coalition activities coordinator. "We don't enjoy breaking up college parties. I think there's a misconception that the cops like to come and spoil everyone's fun. - Lt Steve Felmley Belllngham Police // The Web site was launched last May, giving the coalition time to work out any" kinks and promote it for fall term. This is the biggest party season because many students are living off campus for the first time, said Campus Community Coalition coordinator Lara Welker. The site is part of a bigger project called Neighborhoods Engaging with Students (NEST), which is funded by the National Institute of Health. The NEST project is in its final year of distribution. Western received this three-year grant on a trial basis to see which programs work. The goal is to cut down on tension and need for police intervention. "We don't enjoy breaking up college parties," said Bellingham Police Lt. Steve Felmley. "I think there's a misconception that the cops like to come and spoil everyone's fun." The Web site features sections on how to party without getting in trouble, what to do if something goes wrong, relevant laws, and a survival guide on the ins and outs of living off-campus. The Neighborhoods Engaging with Student's project also sponsored the Let's Talk forum Oct. 18 with Campus Community Coalition as a way to start the dialogue between students, permanent Bellingham residents, and the Bellingham Police Department. "If a student knows the people who live next to them," Welker said, "knows that there are kids, knows they're gonna get up and go to school in the morning, they might think differently about how late their loud party went on or how many people they had over or what night of the week it was; those kinds of things." pttlilliiiM A representative from A N EDUCATION OF M I N D A N D HEART win be at the Viking Union Lobby Tuesday, October 31 â€¢ 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Whitworth's Master in Teaching (MIT) Program â€¢[ callows you to get your master's degree and i teaching certification simultaneously!

Jordan, whose father is head of security at Intalco in Ferndale, said he wanted to thank Larsen for what he has done for the local economy. "He is keeping a lot of jobs out there," he said. Not all of the attention was positive as four members from the Free Larsen group used the opportunity to speak directly with him. Free Larsen is made up of local anti- Iraq war activists who are frustrated with Larsen's voting record on the war in Iraq, said Carolyn DeSilva, Bellingham resident and Free Larsen member. "We are democrats and would like to support him," DeSilva said. "But its hard to support anyone who continues to support funding for the war." Western junior Ian Morgan spoke to Larsen about his concerns relating to the raid carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Whatcom County on Aug. 30. Larsen was unable to comment on the raid based on second hand information, Morgan said. "I feel like I came ready to state my opinion," Morgan said. "He acknowledged my concerns but he is so skilled at paying lip service, I just got pacified." photo by Matt Cagne THE WESTERN FRONT Western junior Ian Morgan (right) listens to Rep. Rick Larsen talk with another student. Bellingham resident Margie White, 76, and a student hold a sign reading "Empires Fall." White was arrested and fined $543 for refusing to leave Larsen's downtown office during a sit-in protest Sept. 28. Transportation fines increase 15 percent â€¢PARKING from 1 charged at rates set by the state of Washington, said April Markiewicz, chair of the Parking Fee Review Committee. The revenue from such fines goes toward offsetting annual increases in university transportation costs, Markiewicz said. The Committee consists of nine Western faculty members and one Associated Student representative and is tasked with reviewing and issuing recommendations on Western's parking and transportation services. Rising fuel prices, state-mandated salary and benefit increases, and maintaining Western's diverse parking and transportation services, contribute to increased transportation costs, Markiewicz said. In 2005, 25 percent of Western's parking and transportation revenue for came from fines and citations issued for parking and transportation violations, according to data compiled by Western's Parking and Transportation services in 2005. Kevin McClain, vice president for Campus and Community Affairs and the student representative on the committee, said another factor contributing to the increase in fines is the depletion of the parking services budget reserve. Those reserves were spent on running and maintaining the campus shuttle and are now depleted, McClain said. While the Committee was largely split on the issue of increases in parking fee rates, the decision to increase parking fines was unanimous, McClain said. "Those people who disobey parking rules and regulations deserve to be fined," Markiewicz said. The increase in fines also reflects the need to give priority access to Western's approximately 3,500 parking spaces to paying pass holders, Gassman said. A law passed by the City of Bellingham in response to Western's 2001 Institutional Master Plan states that Western must maintain at least 3,500 parking spaces. If capacity is above 90 percent for two consecutive years the school must expand its parking lots. Western plans to improve park and ride, clean up creek â€¢PURCHASE from 1 coordination with the city. "It's a drainage ditch right now," Pierce said. "Restoring the creek will make a park-like atmosphere." One of the first tasks in the restoration is to put a bridge over the creek for access to the Maple Park Apartments, Wynn said. "The creek will flow north until it reaches the property line and then it will go into an underground culvert heading under Fred Meyer on Lakeway Drive," Willett said. "We will create a natural channel and a 150-foot natural buffer to protect it from runoff and we will be able to monitor the water quality at both ends of the creek." As Western continues to erect facilities, space for parking is eliminated, so the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride becomes an asset, said Maureen McCarthy, community relations and marketing manager for WTA. "It turned out to be a very good arrangement for the university because land prices have gone up" - David Schooler Sterling Realty president Western entered a lease-purchase agreement with Sterling Realty Organization in 2003. The lease-purchase agreement allowed Western to save money by freezing the price of the property at the time of the agreement, said David Schooler, president of Sterling Realty Organization.

There will be singers ranging in age from high school students to professors, who will be participating in the Halloween celebration with "spooky" music. Co-coordinators Thibo and And}' Marshall, a Western graduate student working toward a master's in teaching, are trying to give students a larger variety o\' music than what they hear on their iPods, Marshall said. 'T'm hoping to increase the instances of people humming to themselves and singing songs as they walk down the stairs, in the library or wherever,11 Thibo said. The other performers ..., use their voices to make music and they want to teach participants to sing through sing-a-longs, Thibo said. 'AVe do not prepare music; we prepare ourselves to be music." Thibo said. Thibo and Marshall are both musicians trying to perform and share their music with others. "if you're going to call yourself a musician, especially a student here (at Western), you wouldn't be in the professional world," Marshall said. "You got to get out there and do it. That will make stuff happen." Performances include The Wolf Tones, a solo performance by Thibo, group singing led by Marshall, and an appearance by the Squalicum High School choir directed by Justin Wisness. Wisness is bringing 23 of his students in a group called the Squalicum Storm Singers, which performs around Beilingham. He said he sees "Resonant Evil" as a great experience for his students to get out and sing with other performers in the Beilingham area.

Thibo said he feels good about his singing when he sings in places like the tunnel. "(A resonant space) gives you something back," Thibo said. "If you're playing a guitar you're getting back more than you're putting into it." They started their concert series in places that echo last December and have performed in the Western Gallery, and several times in the downtown Fairhaven library. Thibo and Marshall say they not only sing for themselves but for other people, and they give amateurs the chance to perform with professional singers.

Black Eyes and Neckties has been around since 2002 and includes Bradley "Horror" singing vocals, Brenda "Grimm" on keyboard, Josh "Homicide" on guitars, Benny "Bloodbath" on bass and Davey "Crypt" on drums, Cadaver said.

Horror Business even dresses up. like the Misfits in black attire with full ghoulish face makeup and devil-like hairdos, Stewart said.

The rain let up, but the dismal night continued for the Vikings, which lost its last game of the season â€” and for seven seniors, the last of their college careers. The 3-1 loss was the Vikings' sixth in a row. The team ended the season 2-17-1 overall and 0- 4 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. The Redhawks halted their four game losing streak, which began after their 1-0 defeat of the Vikings on Oct. 4. Viking senior forward Gus Zadra scored the game's first goal by slipping between "two defenders and IBSllllfli capitalizing on a pass from senior midfielder John Hoogestraat four minutes in. The goal was Zadra's seventh of the season and left him tied for third in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. The Redhawks' Jason Cascio tied the game before halftime with his 14th goal of the season. He scored again with 13 minutes left in the second half to put the Redhawks up 3-1. Forward Andrew Kreiter also scored for the Redhawks when Viking junior goalie Michael Lockwood dove for the su 2-17-1 overall, 0-4 in ball and missed, leaving a wide-open goal. Despite the miscue, Lockwood finished the game with six saves. Both teams' physical play occasionally turned ugly. A Redhawks' player threw the ball at the head of a Viking player during the first half, and a short scuffle broke out in the second half during a stop in play. The Vikings played spiritedly because it was the last game of the. season, Lockwood said. Viking head coach Travis " Cohnell characterized the Vikings' physicality toward â€¢ the Redhawks in a different way. "We came out and put a scare into that team," he said.

At the top of these stairs and around the corner hides the Western fencing club, practicing blade techniques and footwork on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 8-10 p.m. in gym D. The club, comprised mainly of students and a few adults, competes monthly in fall tournaments against other clubs and fencers from areas such as Seattle, Bellevue and Vancouver, British Columbia, said Western senior and club president Joe Kennedy. Though the team likes to compete, the overall attitude of its members is light-hearted and open, said Bellingham resident and 20- year fencer Michael Allen, 38. Allen said the club's experienced fencers were hard on beginners during practice on Oct. 18. "There are some serious war dogs out there, but most are here for fun," Allen said. After only five practices, four members of the fencing club competed in the Western Fall Open No. 1 held in Carver Gym D Oct. 21. Western freshman Patrick Darby defeated Western senior Zach Munsey to place first in the tournament's gold medal bout. A beginning fencer needs a great deal of practice before being able to hold any ground in competitions with club fencers from around the region, Kennedy said. "We encourage fencers to show up as often as possible," said Greg Riedesel, 32, a manager of operating systems with technical services at Western, Most students in the fencing club don't have OUt there, but mOSt their own gear, and don't need their own to join the club.

When the fencers are warmed-up, the club splits into two sections: the intermediate fencers and the beginning fencers. While the intermediate fencers are taught more advanced techniques, the beginning fencers work with the club's more experienced fencers on basics, such as advancing (moving forward on an opponent), retreating (moving away from an opponent) and parrying (deflecting an attack). Though the fencing club can be intimidating and physically straining, Riedesel said it's fun and well worth the pain of being jabbed by a foil. "I'm always smiling when I'm going home," he said.

Viking coach Diane Flick said the team came into the match lacking energy but steadily boosted its emotions. "The worst of times is the best of times," she said. Viking outside hitters Jaime Anderson and Emily Castro finished with 19 and 14 kills, respectively. Middle blocker Tiana Roma added 11 kills and libero Courtney Schneider had 37 digs. â€” The Western Front Andrew Irvine's photo by Melissa Blair THE WESTERN FRONT Viking outside hitter Emily Castro's hit gets blocked during the Vikings' 3-1 match victory over the Crusaders Thursday in Carver Gym. It's incredible, what a year can do. Last season up to this point, the Seattle Seahawks record was 4-2 and they had just pummeled the lowly Houston Texans on national television. Fans were excited about the-prospects of a winning season. A year later, the Hawks sit with an identical 4-2 record but with much more skepticism. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and running back Shaun Alexander are injured. The offensive line, which manhandled opposition a year ago, suddenly looks inept. On top of that, the defense is allowing almost one touchdown per game more than it did in2005. â€¢ Even so, the Seahawks are in first place. The football gods have dealt the Hawks a tough hand, but it's time to show some resilience. I think the team will do just that. The Hawks' schedule is quite favorable to the team. After traveling to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs this week, they will play Oakland, San Francisco and Green Bay in three of the next four games. To say those games are winnable is an understatement. I know the Seahawks won't be 13-3 as they were last season, but .11- 5 isn't out of the question. Out of the remaining 10 games on the schedule, only three are against teams boasting winning records. With Alexander and Hasselbeck injured, it's time for the defense to show some teeth. The talent is there. Still, the big hits, clutch turnovers and timely sacks of 2005 have been absent. Aside from linebacker Julian Peterson, the defense is playing tentatively. The Hawks' offense needs support from the defense to have any chance. With advantageous field position and some defensive turnovers, the patchwork offensive unit should be able to hold the team together while the first- string offense heals. Second-string quarterback Seneca Wallace will be fine if he uses his talented receivers and doesn't try to force passes. The offensive line must step it up in the next few games. Wallace and running back Maurice Morris are not good enough to perform under heavy defensive pressure. If the line gives the backfield time, the positive yards will come. If not, expect turnovers in bunches. It may be difficult to remain positive about the team right now, but there is good news. Nothing seems to be going the Hawks' way yet they sit atop the division. Championship teams can beat adversity â€” let's see what the Hawks are made of.

The university allows non-majors to take all 100-level art classes but unfortunately, those classes include little concentration on actually doing art. Art is a valuable part of an education. It teaches artistic skills and creativity that can't be found in a biology or math course. It allows students to express themselves in a way that writing a paper simply cannot. Carol Janson, art professor and department chair, said classes are not available for students outside the major because of the lack of space in the studio. Studio courses tend to be much smaller than lecture courses. If the department lacks available space, it should charge extra for non-majors who would like to take upper level, hands-on classes. If students want to do ceramics, they should be able to. The journalism department tries to include all students who are interested. Carol Brach, secretary supervisor for the journalism department, said the department offers certain 100, 200 and 300 level courses to students outside of the major, and leaves the option to write for The Western Front open to all students. The only stipulation lies in what registration priority those outside of the department receive. Brach said majors, minors and pre-majors have first priority. Brach said the journalism department has 186 students who are majors, pre-majors or minors. Janson said the art department has 364 majors alone and that in fall 2005, the studio area discontinued its minor. The only art minor offered now is in art history. Despite the remarkable size difference between these two departments, there is a way to create access for non-majors. If the journalism department is able to figure out a system that works, the art department can as well. If space and funding are the problems, the department could charge students extra to take the classes, ask for more funding from the university or apply for grants from the government. That way, the studio fee will allow for improvements within the department and students will have the opportunity to take hands-on art classes. Journalism is not the only department to allow other majors to take its classes. The theatre arts department allows non-majors to take acting classes, so it seems only fair to grant that privilege to students interested in art. cartoon by Tristan Hobson THE WESTERN FRONT Aglika Ivanova, a work- study employee for the art department at the University of Washington said the UW's 100-level art courses are introductory but still incorporate hands-on work to give the students a feel for what a major in art would be like. The 100-level courses are available to all students during fall, winter and spring quarters. Ivanova said UW offers all upper and lower division art classes for all its students in the summer. This allows students to take upper division courses whether they are declared majors or not. Western needs to offer a wide variety of art classes in the summer as well because it would eliminate the exclusivity of the art major and would not interfere with class size during fall, winter and spring quarters. Art is an important part of a complete college education. Students pay thousands of dollars to go to school and that money should cover education in any of the departments offered at Western. The university mission statement states that the programs within the College of Fine and Performing Arts are meant to serve the needs of the students. Needs clearly are not being met if some students are unable to enjoy the fruits of the fine arts. HinRii Locally, who are you going to vote for in Congress? Why?

Compiled by Natassia Zabel ---------- Western Front 2006-10-27 - Page 14 ---------- 14 I Friday, October 27, 2006 OPINION The Western Front Wal-Mart: built for students Jon Brandenburg THE WESTERN FRONT Wal-Mart-the name elicits images of overworked elderly greeters with smiling faces but dead eyes, souless business execs who care only for the bottom line, all of the awesome, dirty words edited out of music CDs, and sweatshop labor. Wal-Mart is perhaps the greatest place in the history of time. Wal-Mart has become increasingly vilified over the years, becoming the unofficial spokes-corporation for what is apparently wrong with capitalism. A recent court case out of Pennsylvania proved Wal-Mart employees are overworked and underpaid. Also, the retail giant has been accused of killing small businesses. But all moral outrage aside, where else can a struggling college student find quality products at affordable prices? J o h n a t h a n Horton, a computer engineer for the U.S. Air Force who worked through high school at a Wal-Mart in Colorado said though college students complain about Wal- Mart's business practices, that doesn't cause them to shop at local "Mom and Pop" convenience stores. Horton said most people are quick to pooh-pooh Wal-Mart but are equally as quick to forget that it also started off as a small business in 1962 in Rogers, Ark., struggling against bigger giants like Ben Franklin and J.C. Penney. Horton said Wal-Mart's success was initially built upon the hard work and business sense of founder Samuel Walton. The elimination of small businesses is not something just Wal-Mart is guilty of, Western freshman Angela Fletcher said. It's not just Wal-Mart's fault that America is moving toward a state where commerce is dominated by just a few companies. Americans are accustomed to being able to find what they want when they want it in just one store and there is a greater likelihood a national chain would carry whatever consumers are looking for, Fletcher said. In a several ways, Wal-Mart was created with the college student in mind. It is a one-stop shop for nearly everything. If Wal-Mart doesn't have it, well then obviously it's not really important. But perhaps the greatest perk of Wal-Mart is that some are open 24-hours per day â€” a must for any college student who, at 3:27 a.m., has the overwhelming desire to purchase a watch, a candy bar and an alligator pool. Wal-Mart puts its employees through the wringer, but its ideal employment for all students, Horton said. Even though he hated his job in high school and always ended his shift exhausted, Horton said he was instilled with a healthy work ethic and during school money was never an issue for him. Like all businesses, Wal-Mart has its smudges here and there and probably a few skeletons its closet, but on the minuscule income of a struggling college student who eats ramen every day it is a Shangri-La of affordable surplus. Wal- Mart is everything a local convenience store wants to be and given the chance, "Hank's Good 01' Convenience Fix'ns" would grow, expand and eventually fleece its employees too. So before badmouthing Wal-Mart on its unsavory business practices, students should realize it sells digital cameras starting at $45.76, MP3 players at $49.88, and at least it is not K-Mart. "Wal-Mart is everything a local convenience store wants to be and given the chance 'Hank's Good Ol' Convenience Fix'ins' would grow, expand and eventually fleece its employees too" Buy local or starve G. S. Raugust THE WESTERN FRONT Everything sold in stores is packaged to make it as appealing as possible to the customers. A label saying something is organic is no different â€” it is just a fancy type of packaging. If people really want to make a difference for their own health and for the health of their community, it is more important to buy locally grown produce than to buy something just because it is labeled organic. Local farmers who live right down the road are held more accountable in their farming practices by the fact that they generally don't want to poison their neighbors, if for no other reason than because they might get caught. A large farm in somewhere far away such as Chile might meet the certification requirements set by the Federal Drug Administration for organic foods, but that doesn't tell a consumer anything about the farmer's practices. How the farmer harvests the food, what kind of fuel the farmer uses to ship the food or what is done to preserve the food on its journey to the United States can tell a consumer important information about the farm that cannot be learned from an organic food label. The organic food certification requirements set by the FDA may be too arduous for small farms such as the ones prevalent in Whatcom County, said Max Morange, Food and Farming Coordinator for Sustainable Connections, a nonprofit group educating the community about the benefits of supporting local, independently-owned businesses. Anyone who has gone on a long car trip should know foods shipped thousands of miles will be in worse shape after the trip than when they were freshly picked. Food consumed within 24-48 hours of being harvested has significantly higher levels of nutrients and minerals, Morange said. With all the junk being sold as food to Americans today, organic vegetables represent a viable alternative. Some people think eating organic foods will make them physically healthier because they have fewer synthetic chemicals in them. Human bodies constantly process out bad stuff, said Jackie Stein, Western health educator for prevention and wellness. The more chemicals students put in their bodies the harder their bodies have to work, she said. Western biochemistry professor Spencer Anthony-Cahill said everything humans put in their bodies is a chemical, even a whole grain muffin. Reasons for buying organic extend beyond the implications for health. For many people it is a political decision to support a more sustainable food system. The question must be posed then: is organic food really better for people in the long run than food grown locally without organic certification? The gas it takes to ship the food and toxins spread by the vehicles that do the transporting should be a factor in the decision. Whether foods are grown locally or not should be the most important consideration â€” especially in Whatcom County which is one of the top 100 agriculturally productive counties in the country, Morange said. Along with dairy farms, seed potatoes and other foods, Whatcom County provides 71 percent of the U.S. supply of red raspberries, he said. If Whatcom County residents continue to buy food from industrial farms hidden in South American jungles just because of organic labels, eventually the small farms here won't be able to keep up. When one day the infrastructure for importing foods is wholly reliant on seized-up engines because the oil has run out, there may no longer be the choice to buy from local farmers because they will have all gone out of business. Seen from that perspective, it is either buy local or starve. www.shareyourlife.org 1-800-355-SHARE Coalition on Organ Tissue Donation LOCALLY OWNED OPERATED lt;^LPL^^^ Honesty Si Dependability Guaranteed! 10% Discount with Student ID f o c Q t 6 7 1 - 2 2 7 7 1189 E.

In the early days of-my adolescence, I would haul out one trash can every Thursday morning under the threat of having my allowance^cut. But as the amount I took to the curb increased in proportion to my age, my allowance stayed the same. Taking inflation into account, my wage actually went down in proportion to the amount of recycling and garbage I took out. I plan to bring this up with my parents and demand back pay, but that's another story. // doesn't Waste Management sort through our crap after we throw it out? Why should I suffer for the good of the planet? Before the service became curbside, anybody could make a quick dime by turning in bottles and cans for recycling. Now, instead of getting a nickel for every discarded can of Miller High Life, we pay for recycling through our fees for curbside pickup. Seattle has taken recycling a step further and fines people who do not recycle. What kind of country is this where I cannot throw away what I want, where I want, when I want? The repressed Republican in me likes the old system of laissez-faire instead of a fine for every milk jug I throw in my trash. But I've lost my youthful conceit. I've strayed from the capitalist dogma that money is priority No. 1 and the American arrogance that I should be able to do whatever I want. So now I spend hours muttering obscenities at the ignorance of my neighbors while I sort through garbage at my apartment building, digging out cans and plastics that could have just as easily been put in the recycling bins two feet away. As Americans, we have no excuse. Despite our progressive society, our mentality is still in a landfill. We still toss newspapers in the garbage by the tree-full. Our products have unnecessary packaging. We have more trashcans than recycling bins. We reminisce about the days when we only had to throw our refuse in one bag and lug one bin to the curb. Once the garbage truck came, our waste was out of sight, out of mind. Americans need to think beyond glass, plastic and paper and start to recycle everything, from uneaten food to cell phones. Think outside the bin â€” not about what you are recycling,. but what you are not. Despite our progressive society/ our mentality is still in a landfill/ Multiple excursions to the curb with recycling bins for glass, plastics, aluminum, newspapers and an armload of cardboard and the same old (but significantly lighter) trash can forced me to wake up a half-hour earlier every Thursday â€” a horrific prospect to my teenage mind. If recycling is so important, I thought in typical teenage self-centeredness, why recycling where we were not forced to comply and instead rewardedmonetarily for our efforts. Like any good American, I want my nickel for every empty Rockstar can that stays out of a-landfill Saucy little numbers from...

Washington state and the 2nd district is bright, but we face many challenges. As your representative I am working to protect the jobs in our communities, protect the security - of our., - -;':: nation, and protect the interests of our children and students. In the Northwest, transportation and affordable energy equal jobs. - Our continued quality of life in the Northwest requires a strong transportation system. As a member of the House Transportation Committee, I work hard to generate federal support for our local transportation needs, projects that will relieve congestion, improve safety and spur our economic growth. When we invest in transportation initiatives we invest in our local economy. For every $1 billion we spend on highway and road projects, roughly 47,000 jobs are brought to our community. Like you, I want affordable and reliable electricity rates for local businesses arid rate payers. I took a stand against short-term power rate increases and worked with Bonneville Power Association on its long-term rates to save jobs across our community. High power rates affect each of us - particularly small businesses. I am committed to keeping electricity rates affordable. I want to assure that our country is safe, secure and free. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I led Washington state's successful effort to protect Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and Naval Station Everett from the axe of the base closure commission. As a member of the Armed Services Committee I sought to assure that the men and women in the military have the resources they need to do their jobs. But security in the 2nd District isn't limited to supporting women and men in the military. We are a district that sits on a U.S. border and because of that we have unique security needs. I support strong border security, while protecting the economic relationship between Canada and the United States. In my time in Congress I have tripled the number of border patrol agents along our northern border. Finally, I believe we must maximize learning and protect the interests of our students. To me that means building a culture of hope that increases the accessibility of our higher education, and assists students with their increasing education expenses. The dream of higher education is getting further out of reach for students across the country. Congress should be working to make paying for college easier for students, rather than more difficult.. That is why I support increasing the maximum amount of the" Pell Grant, which has remained static for the past four years. I also strongly support the Perkins loan program that assists more than 460,000 low- and middle-income students with their education expenses. As your Congressman I have dedicated my time and energy to protecting our economy, our security, and education in our communities. I am deeply committed to bettering the 2nd District and strongly believe that I am the right candidate for the job. I am Rick Larsen and I am asking for your support.

Studentsdiscussed a total of 32 bills. They-support-ed 23, stood against three, remained neutral on five andtabled one for further discussion. WSL will support Senate Bill 5517, which would grant a studentvote on governing boards. If this bill passes, a student representative would sit on Western's Board ofTrustees, which administers decisions such as faculty hiring, said Ian Stuart, state board president andvice chair of the Washington Student Lobby. One student may not sway the faculty opinion but willrepresent student voices, he said. "It's important that the administration hears the student voice ... inthe form of a vote," Stuart said. In an interview earlier this quarter, President Karen Morse said students'personal agendas, as well as conflicts between teachers and students, stand in the way of studentrepresentation on the Board of Trustees. "It's important that the admin- JstrationJiears the studentvoice ... in the form of a vote.' Ian Stuart vice chair, Washington Student Lobby "The Board does riotendorse a student on the Board of Trustees," Morse said. WSL will also support Senate House Bill1851, which would rework financial aid. "Any increase in tuition should be met with an increase infinancial aid," Stuart said. This year, Western received financial backing for 300 additional full-timestudents for the 1997-98 school year. WSL will lobby against House Bill 2586, which would prohibitdomestic-partner benefits, Stuart said. UW now grants benefits for domestic partners in studenthousing. Although the vote was not unified, a majority of representatives voted to lobby against thebill, and it became part of the agenda, Stuart said. Because Initiative 200, which would repealaffirmative action, is not yet a bill, the WSL cannot take an official stance on the initiative, Stuart said. "However, we did support a plank (position statement) in sup-, port of affirmative action," Stuart said.Other issues on the WSL agenda are: supporting a tax exemption on textbooks; supporting anincrease on student control of student- allocated fees; and supporting expanded childcare onuniversity campuses. WSL is also sponsoring the Evergreen Leadership Conference on Feb. 27 and28 at the UW for students "who are interested in learning more about lobbying. VIKINGS gotoOVERTIME AGAIN SPORTS/8 VOLUME 103 ISSUE'S TUESDAY January 27, 1998 BELLINGHAM,WASHINGTON Western student cleared of rape accusations By Wendy Giroux The Western Front -The 15-year-old girl who accused Birnam Wood resident Yesake Berehanie of rape has recanted amajority of her previous testimony, Lt. Dae Jamison of Bellingham Police said. Berehanie, 19, hasbeen cleared of allegedly raping the girl, but police declined to specify which parts of the girl's story shechanged. "There is no longer enough evidence to bring charges," Campus Police Chief Dave Doughtysaid. Berehanie was arrested and released Jan. 18 under suspicion of sexual assault: After numerousattempts to reach him by phone and e-mail, Berehanie remained unavailable for comment. Doughty said Bellingham police administered a polygraph test to Berehanie; the results showed no deception. Thepolygraph tester said he found mat Berehanie believes the girl had consensual sex with Berehanie, thatno force was used and no other people were present. "As a result of the polygraph test, the detectiveswent back to speak to the girl again," Doughty said. Jamison also said the girl claims to have beenblacked out for part of the night after drinking at a party at Birnam Wood; she still believes she wasforced to have sex. Doughty said no polygraph test was offered or administered to the girl. The changes the girl made in her statement eliminated probable cause, he said. Since no charges were formallyfiled with the courts, the incident will not appear on Berehanie's permanent record, Doughty said. Theincident is not a case of statutory rape because Berehanie is only 46 months older than the girl,Doughty said. If Berehanie and the girl had been a full four years apart, it would have been statutoryrape. In their original testimonies, Berehanie said he never knew the girl's age; she said she told himthat she was 17. â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS January 27, 1998 Campus Police Jan. 22, 12:34 a.m.: A fire wasreported in a dumpster outside of Ridgeway Delta* The flames were extinguished and there was nodamage.

Two years ago or so, John Lennon said of the Beatles, "We're morepopular than Jesus." Some called this statement sacrilegious, and some, notably the nebulous hippies,considered it to be "good" sacrilege â€” if such a thing is possible. Yet few willing to admit that,sacrilege or not, it was probably true. The message was and is the same in both cases: Say the Wordand you'll be free/ Say the Word and be like me/ Say the Word I'm thinking' of/ Have you heard the Word is Love Try to take everything personally. If you listen to the Beatles, you will see they are relatingand are relevant to you. Since you listen and relate to them, they are an extension of you. "TheBeatles" is us. Student arrested for wearing flag A student of Virginia Commonwealth University hasbeen sentenced to a year in jail on a charge of mutilating the American flag. Edward D. Franz, Jr., afreshman art major, said he will appeal the conviction. He testified that he found a vest made from theflag and wore it once. Last October a 16-year-old student from Boston was convicted on a similarcharge in Alexandria and was placed on probation. Yippie! leader Abbie Hoffman received a $100 fine ora 30-day jail sentence recently for violating a new federal law against flag mutilation. He was wearing acommercially-made stars-and-stripes shirt to a House Un- American Activities Committee hearing. Draft must go, resistor says "Conscription must be methodically resisted," James Forest toldapproximately 200 people Wednesday. Forest, one of the "Milwaukee 14," said he would oppose thedraft even if there was no war in Vietnam. The "Milwaukee 14" removed about 10,000 draft files from theMilwaukee, Wis., Selective Service boards on Sept. 24 and burned them with homemade napalm. "Wewere aiming at the students who have not closed their minds to new thoughts," he said. Forest isconfident the movement will be successful, he said. Radicals suggest reorganization Radical coalition members expressed indecision about whether to reorganize as a chapter of the Students for aDemocratic Society at a meeting Thursday. The coalition, formed at the beginning of fall quarter, is aloosely-knit organization of individuals with radical beliefs. When the coalition was formed, Bob Trivett,chairman, defined its purpose as being "to increase people's awareness of radical ideas in politics,social and economic issues and in academic fields." Affiliation with SDS "would make us more effectiveby making us part of a national movement," Wally Oyen, sophomore, said. Front/File photo You meetthe strangest people around campus â€”just horsin' around in winter quarter, 1969. Support the 18- year-old vote â€” Commentary â€” Recently, a bill was introduced into the state legislature authorizing 18-year-old citizens to vote. Sen. R. Frank Atwood, a major opponent, says the majority of 18- year-oldcitizens are not well informed enough of current events to cast an intelligent vote. "I do not feel that wecan increase the problem of apathy, which I believe to be the number-one problem of the nation," hesaid in a letter to this writer. A large percentage of college students is in the 18- to 21-year-old bracket."If we can't vote, how can we let the legislators know that we are well enough informed to deserve thevote?" you might ask. Write a letter to your state senator or legislator. Tell him how you feel. Then getfriends or relatives who can vote to write a letter favoring the bill. Married women abort most Eightypercent of women who obtain abortions are married, according to a report from the Citizens' AbortionDiscussion Group. Most are between 30 and 49 years old, have two or more children and arepregnant by their husbands. Research at Indiana University indicates that one woman out of four willhave had an illegal abortion by the age of 45. Freshman appeals dress policy Mary Strege, freshman,is appealing a March 3 Ridgeway Kappa Judiciary Board that found her guilty of violating dressregulations. Strege was found in violation on Jan. 23 of the Sunday Brunch policy, which statesstudents must appear in appropriate "dress-up affair" attire in order to be served the Sunday noon meal.Strege is appealing to Dean of Women, "because her due process of law was violated," Allison Andres,senior representing Strege in her appeal, said in a Front interview. No formal proceedings protectingher rights as a defendant, as are in every court in the United States, were employed by the KJB, Andressaid. Approximately. 30 cases are pending in Nash Hall for the same dress-rules violation. Compiled byPeggy Ferris Flunking students can get help by Tiffany White The Western Front Last year, 314students were dismissed from Western based on poor academic performance. Western's lowscholarship policy works to ensure that academic standards are met in the university. It is based on the tradition of maintaining some minimum standards. "I think there is an insistence that we expectcertain minimum standards, and if students don't maintain minimum standards, then you perhaps oughtto take some time off and access your goals," said Western Registrar Joseph St. Hilaire. Students aredismissed from Western for not fulfilling, academic standards. Western also receives enrollmentpressure from the state to accept more students, which pushes the university to get the student adegree in just four years, raising tougher academic policies, St. Hilaire said. "Right now, faculty arefeeling that tremendous pressure to do more for more students that leaves less time to do more forindividual students," St. Hilaire said. The policy maintains that a student must have at least a 2.0quarterly grade point average and higher than a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Typically it takes three to fourquarters for freshmen to be dismissed and two quarters for new transfers to be dismissed. Anacademic warning is issued at first when first-quarter freshmen drop below a 2.0 GPA. Academicprobation is initiated when a students still cannot stay above a 2.0 GPA. Continued probation beginswhen a student is already on probation and earns a GPA of 2.0 or higher but still does not raise his orher cumulative GPA to 2.0 or higher. "When a student begins a quarter on probation, they must thenearn at least a 2.0 that quarter to prevent dismissal," explained Yolanda Minge, Associate Director ofAcademic Advising Services. . David Porter was asked to leave Western this fall quarter, after receivinga letter of dismissal, "Western did it totally by the book. I was your general case of 'If you don't have a2.0, you are out/" Porter said. Reasons for academic dismissal vary greatly among students, rangingfrom poor time management to personal emergencies. Porter was also sent letters offering assistance from the Academic Advising Center. "I am bright enough to be in college," Porter explained, "but Ididn't want to do the work." Minge works with Academic Advising Services to help students strugglingwith grades and academic warnings and probation. "When we see a student, we want to get a senseof what is happening and what concerns they have," Minge said. Minge said she helps students withWestern policy "to have the university work for them and not against them." Students are also advised to take advantage of Western's resources, such as the time-management, study-skills and exam-preparation workshops in the Tutorial Center. In addition, the Writing Center and Math Center areavailable for student questions. The Counseling Center may address personal issues that affectacademic life. Minge said that she noticed that students tend to be embarrassed to come to theAcademic Advising Center for help. "We don't care what your grades are, we just want to help yousucceed," she said. Once a student is dismissed, the process of reinstatement to Western is difficult.Reinstatement requires the student to file a petition with the Scholastic Standing Committee, a groupof 15. faculty members who review the student request based on individual merit. The committeelooks at what students have done since academic dismissal and their plans to ensure that they candemonstrate scholastic success if reinstated. Students must attend another school before petitioningWestern, such as community college, summer school, another university or classes throughcorrespondence from the Independent Learning Office, and earn strong grades while they are there. "It is so much harder to get back into Western than it is to ask for help," Minge said. For information aboutacademic help, students may call the Academic Advising Center, Old Main 380, at 650-3850. ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 4 ---------- 4 â€¢â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS January 27, 1998 Huxley trades ideas, education with ChinaBy Samantha Tretheway The Western Front Western will cooperate with China in an - environmentaleducational program amidst controversy regarding China's human rights violations, Huxley Dean BradSmith said. The signing the agreement took place on Dec. 11 at the Asia Society headquarters in NewYork City. The agreement will impact both China and the United States economically andeducationally, Smith said. "What could end up happening is that not only will we share writtenmaterials, but we could be developing training programs," he said. "People from Huxley could go over there to conduct work-shops and have Chinese people from over there come here and do training."We in the United States are beginning to understand that environmental protection translates into goodbusiness," Smith said. "In the case of China, it could be very good business." However, controversysurrounds China's Most Favored Nation trade status in light of its continued human rights violations.China's growing population of more than one billion people impacts the environment, which does infringeon human rights, Smith said. "Is the right, to clean air also a human right?" asked Smith. "What ifeverybody in China subscribed to the life of a westerner?"he asked/The impact on the resources would be phenomenal."

The Western Online Textbook Exchange began service Monday. The site wascreated to avoid high bookstore prices. The site was founded by Dan Retzlaff, a Western Computer User Group member. "The idea occurred to me as a solution to a problem experienced by every student who goes to school here," Retzlaff said. "The web provides an ideal medium for buying, selling andexchanging textbooks." "The site is very simple to use," Retzlaff said. First, users register their e-mail addresses so all the information they type into the site can be identified. The users then enterinto the computer the books they want to buy or sell. Then they are paired up with another person whohas the requested book. "The idea had been thrown around in the past, so we took it upon ourselves tocreate the web," said Holland Guldberg, president of western computer users. Retzlaff took it uponhimself to create the page during winter break. "Though I haven't heard any official position on thematter, the Student Co-op Bookstore has been very cooperative in helping set things up," Retzlaff said."There is a natural tendency to make the bookstore and the online textbook exchange out to, becompetitors. This isn't really accurate, though," Retzlaff said. "The purpose of both the online exchangeand of the bookstore is to serve the Western student body, and we both do that." "Almost every person I ran the idea by said they would be very interested in such a site," Retzlaff said. "I am confident that itonly needs advertising effort to get the word out, and the site will become an integral part of gettingready for the next quarter of school," he said. Advertising won't begin unfl next quarter. "We have a great service to offer â€” it's easy to use, and there's no risk in offering your books for sale or in checking for a book you're looking for," Retzlaff said. "Once students see the site and use it, I'm sure they will beexcited about it." Retzlaff said he is looking into getting links from various Western web pages."Whether this site flies or not depends on our getting the word out to as many people as possible asrapidly as possible," Retzlaff said. The Western Online Textbook Exchange is located at http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/books. Questions regarding the site can be answered at the site or at dan-books@wcug.wwu.edu.

By Meredith Lofberg ^JlJhejVVestern Front iiÂ«ff The U.S. Department of Agriculture is in the final stages of a long process that will result in i i i i !ifa single definition for food labeled "organic." mm***** Recent controversy has surrounded thelabeling of foods as organic, meaning they are fgrown and produced without the use of syn- %is |theticfertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or ^growth-regulating hormones. Currently, no giiPiglnational standard for organic food exists. I \ Brad Smith, merchandising manager for the *li#Community Food Co-op on NorthForest Street, said traditional organic agriculture is " ^ c a r r i e d out on small, often family-oriented puiii farms. He said he believes the standards will frnake it increasingly possible for "big business" Jtoparticipate in the marketing of organic â€ž*:Â«#'foods. **" "That's contradictory to everything organicagriculture is about," Smith said. Stephen Trinkaus, owner of Terra Organica "\on North State Street, said certification is necessary so customers can be sure that what they IIP?5' are getting is organic. , â€žâ€” "We're not taking the farmer's or the processor's word for it," he said. Illfgil The most importantreason to eat organic is "for personal health," Trinkaus said. "These are iiiillivery toxic substances we are spraying our food 5iwith. This is one of the contributors to. many of p-Sfthe health problems people arefaced with, \wJalong with all the processed foods that we con- :" sume." t|: fP skiith said he believespeople would make I ffbett|r food choices if they were aware of the " ' chlfrucals sprayed on the food."There's no doubt that the chemical levels in ss!Â«Â«our fOQ(j gj.e a t a n unacceptable level in mostgl*Ss people's eyes," he said. %i While he said he believes widespread organi c agriculture couldmake the world a safer J place to live, Smith currently does not eat p F exclusively organic food. "Welive in a polluted, stressful, in many ways unjust world. I don't think my health is going to be impactedmuch by eating organic," Smith said. "But organic agriculture could change this." The toxins used togrow and preserve fruits and vegetables may have alarming health effects on consumers and especiallyon farm workers, Trinkaus said. Farmers exposed to the chemicals have a high rate of cancer. A TerraOrganica employee, Daniel Collins, said an added plus is the better taste that many organic foods have."Conventional vegetables are bland comparatively," he said. Both Smith and Trinkaus said that contrary to popular belief, organic food is not more expensive than traditionally grown foods. "(V)olume per dollar, it's more expensive," Trinkaus said. "(I)f you are looking at nutrition per dollar, it's much cheaper." "Ourclientele aren't people who have a lot of money," Trinkaus said. "They're just people who have made thisa priority in their lives." Smith said people are often unaware of the hidden costs of eating traditionallygrown food. When we use chemically based agriculture, we pollute the earth. This leads toincreasing health costs, Smith said. Organic packaged foods "have a lot of unnecessary artificialingredients removed," Smith said. "Do I really need this ice cream to have this specific color? Does itenhance my life? I don't think so," Smith said. "People who are making organic foods are targetingpeople who don't want artificial colors and flavors." Trinkaus urges people to realize they don't have to eat exclusively organic to reap the benefits of a healthy diet. "It's important that people realize it's not all or nothing," he said. "It's eye opening to realize where your food comes from," Trinkaus said. "For people who want to make a difference in the world, organ-ics are a good place to start."

Western chemistry major Katie Foland, avegetarian for seven years, said it all began when her parents attempted to make her eat fish. "I reallyhate fish/' Foland said. "I stopped eating meat altogether so I wouldn't have to eat it." Foland said herconvictions grew stronger when she saw an expose of meat packing plants on the news show 60 Minutes. "Meat fell on the floor, and a man picked it up and put it back on the conveyor belt," Foland said. Kristin Corning became a vegetarian six years ago. For the past three years, she has also been a vegan andeats absolutely no animal products, including milk and eggs. Corning said her decision to becomevegan "largely had to do with health reasons." She said she became very congested when she ate dairyproducts and felt her health was declining. Corning also said she believes meat is hard for the humanbody to digest, and we get little benefit from eating a carnivorous diet. * Animal rights issues were also alarge part of Coming's decision to avoid animal products. "I saw that animals raised for meat are oftentreated very inhumanly," she said. Foland said animal rights had little to do with her food choices. "I'mnot an animal rights activist. I just choose not to eat meat," she said. Foland said she contemplated going vegan but decided against it. "For me, it would be too hard to not eat dairy products. It would take toomuch time and money to cook without them," she said. According to a pamphlet entitled "Food choicesand your health," from the organization Earth Save International, "The biological reality is that humansneed very little protein in their diets." The pamphlet also states that additional protein doesn't improve ourhealth in any way and that "our biological needs for protein are as easily met by plant foods as they are by animal foods." "I think it is important not to try to break down your diet," Corning said. "I just try tomake sure I get a variety of foods, such as whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables." Jennifer Flament-Banowetz, educational outreach facilitator for the Community Food Co-op on North Forest Street, doesn'tbelieve vegetarianism is fpr everyone. Flament-Banowetz was a vegetarian for five years, but said shebegan eating meat again when her health began to go downhill. She felt she didn't have as much energyand generally didn't feel well. Flament-Banowetz said she believes body and blood type influence whoshould eat meat and who shouldn't. "I think vegetarianism is good for some people and not good forothers," she said. ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT FEATURES J a n u a r y 27, 1998 By Nolan Harron The Western FrontOW Starting late next fall, when renovations have been tentatively scheduled for the area known as"Vendors' Row," a way of life for many small-business people here at Western will be altered forever. Thearea, located between the bookstore and the Viking Union, has been a favorite student lunch andshopping spot for more than 20 years. Vendors will now be forced to move their businesses elsewhere forat least a year while construction is done on the site. Jim Schuster, the associate director of operationsfor VU student activities, said the goal of the renovation is to "turn the VU and Viking Addition into onebuilding." This process would enclose the courtyard and walkway now being used as Vendors' Row.Schuster said the construction will take approximately one year, during which time room for vendors willprobably not be available anywhere on campus. When construction is complete, he hopes to have fourvending stations located against the north wall of the bookstore. However, rights for these limited spotswill be competitive, and prices will certainly increase from the current standard of $500 per quarter.Schuster said the price hike will be a result of improved facilities. The vending stations will be indoors,which will invite more customers, and each vendor will be provided with a storage locker. The transitionwill not be an easy one for students who have made the small walkway to the VA a part of their dailyroutine. Some wear jewelry made by Jack Dalton or warm their tummies with a cup of hot soup from AWay of Life. Others survive the cold Bellingham winters with a sweater, purchased from Vendors' Row orkeep themselves awake with a latte from Maggie Thornton's espresso stand. Perhaps they walk by andsoak up the atmosphere as young adults and older salespeople joke and bargain with each other. Thestudents' inconvenience pales in comparison to that of the vendors, however, some of whom haveoccupied Vendor's Row for years. Thornton, owner of Caffeinds, the espresso stand outside of "CreativeJuices," has been serving sleep-deprived Western students their coffee for six years, including summers.Before she opened her stand, Thornton worked several jobs up and down the west coast, from SouthernCalifornia to Seward, Alaska. After graduating from high school, Thornton moved to Alaska in order to"escape L.A.," she said. While there, she fished commercially and eventually opened a health-food storein Seward in 1986. In between fishing and operating the health-food store, Thornton moved back to L.A. tobe a hair stylist. Thornton styled hair for videos and commercials during her brief return to SouthernCalifornia. "I did David Lee Roth's hair for a Toshiba commercial," she said. Despite the celebrities andglamour, though, Thornton realized she still didn't like L.A. After she closed down her health-food store in1989, she moved to Bellingham and opened a shoe store downtown. She was forced to close the storedown when Bellis Fair Mall opened because, she said, "The mall sucked all the business away from thedowntown area." Since then, Thornton has been supporting herself and two daughters with earnings fromthe espresso stand â€” and having a good time doing it. She said she enjoys owning her stand because it gives her freedom and independence that are not normally allowed in a nine-to-five job. "It's very colorful working here," she said, referring to the many different kinds of people she serves. Her playful attitude iscontagious on a bitter-cold Bellingham day as she jokes with her customers and throws garbage at theregulars. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do," she said. "My income is looming in the balance." Hersentiment is shared by Joel Litwin, who has worked at the A Way of Life bakery stand for eight years."I might just have to do other things," he said. Litwin does not know what those "other things" mightentail, but he says that whatever they are, he will miss Western. Camaraderie is what Litwin has enjoyedmost about his work experience on Vendors' Row. "We're like 'Cheers'," he said. "Everybody knows each other's names. Yoav Yanich, owner of A Way of Life, is not quite as concerned. He is busy with hisdowntown bakery of the same name, but is confident he will be able to maintain some presence atWestern after the renovation is complete, whether by opening another stand or perhaps just supplyingfood for Marriott. "Marriott is a good company," Yanich said. He is impressed that they have noticedsome of the entrepreneurial ideas of the vendors, such as Creative Juices, and have incorporated theminto their own stores. Dalton is by far the veteran of all the vendors on the Row. He has sold his jewelry at Western off and on for 20 years. Now in his late 60s, Dalton depends on the income he gains from thejewelry stand to support himself, his wife, three horses and a dog. He has raised four daughters withmoney earned by selling jewelry, and he plans to continue doing it. He started making jewelry in his late20s, when he owned an all-vegetarian nightclub called Mother Neptune's in Hollywood. Between sellingjewelry and operating the nightclub, Dalton was a professional painter. "I got tired of being a starvingpainter," he said. So he opened a jewelry stand and has been doing that ever since. "I had a knack formaking jewelry," he said. Dalton summed up the feelings of most of the vendors well by saying, "I lovethis place; I love the kids; I love the vibes. We would all really like to stay somehow."

The only problem is that Jane used the directorylast, she's out shopping with Elroy and Rosie can't find the number. Judy is in her room studying for herfinals at Western, where she's majoring in Cosmic Relations. Luckily, she has her Big Blue Bonus Bookon her and Rosie orders the pizza. Because Rosie is quite the catch, the pizza guy will undoubtedly takespecial care to hand-deliver George's dinner. Keeping this scenario in mind, take a second look at this quarter's Blue Book and see if it looks familiar. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Big BlueBonus Book, and the cover art commemorates the occasion with graphics reminiscent of "TheJetsons." With the exception of a couple of advertisements, such as the Whatcom Transit Authority adon the back cover, all of the ads are laid out by the staff of Wright, Hart and Mather. The staff, allWestern graduates, fills its usual 64 pages with ads from 75-80 Bellingham-area businesses. Someof last year's covers featured people in random futuristic places, such as the one featuring a man withhis hands pressed up against the glass of a second-floor window of a building. That man is actually staffmember Tim Cathersal, and the cover designer, Cale Burr, is the one doing the knicker-knocker jump onthe sidewalk. "It was actually just an idea to stick everyone in the office on the covers," Burr said. Burr'sfirst cover design was a hand illustration, quite different from the Jetsons-style computer graphics of thisyear's design. "The look, the floating city and the pointless rings around everything â€” if s just comical to me," Burr said. "The fact that there's a stoplight on the cover with two cars sitting there waiting ...that's also an attempt at humor." One fact most people wouldn't know: the covers of this quarter's bookand last quarter's fit side-by-side to form one picture. Spring quarter's book will complete the trio. Bun-said he suspects the next cover will be a little more organic, with landscapes and possibly a "picnicscene." Other interesting features are the subliminal numbers that hint at the anniversary of the book. Acloser look reveals windows reflecting images of "10s," and numerals up to 10 incorporated into openspace. The "Big Blue Bonus Book" font on the cover is the actual font used by the Jetsons show.Account Executive Nina Cathersal said she tries to make sure there are ads that students can use, andshe makes a concerted effort to get businesses to make the best possible deals in their coupons. "Thelonger this book stays out there, the more viable it becomes. The artwork is a big part of that," Cathersalsaid. Cathersal's concern is expressed in the caution she used in running an ad by Video Extreme, alocal adult video-rental store. The coupon reads, "Rent a smut film, get a smut film free." -Cathersal said she made sure the ad was not overtly offensive to students and that she was available for anyresponses to the ad. "I want to make sure Western is well represented in the book," Cathersal said.Perhaps her care comes from the fact she is a former Western student. "I'm real proud of the work I've done on this book," she said. "The clients I have are great. I've learned a lot about Bellinghambusinesses and marketing." Many businesses run their only advertisement in the Blue Book,Cathersal said, adding that businesses in the area are very pleased with the increased sales the bookbrings in. The cover, usually featuring a local pizza ad, has become a virtual bidding ground with LittleCaeser's and Pizza Time competing for Western's business. The bidding may peak at $1,500 foradvertising space in the cover spotlight. One reason pizza ads and other delivery ads, such as Bandito'sBurritos, are so prominent is to accommodate the many Western students who don't havetransportation. "I want to make the book as student friendly as possible," Cathersal said. About 1,200copies of die Spring '98 Big Blue Bonus Book will be distributed during the week of March 30. The coveris being created in Burr's head at this very moment, and not even he knows how it will turn out. Imaginean intimate picnic scene atop an island floating in open space. Rosie blushes as the pizza guy hands hera slice of pizza, and their hands touch for a moment... Giirte^!6fâ„¢Â§ntf^ fc ---------- Western Front - 1998 January 27 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT SPORTS January 27, 1998 Vikings shelled by the Seasiders By JedPalevich The Western Front After winning a triple-overtime marathon Thursday evening against No. 8-ranked Hawaii Pacific University, the Western men's basketball team fell to the No. 23-ranked BrighamYoung University-Hawaii Seasiders in double-overtime, 112-104, Saturday night in Carver Gym. Theloss sends Western into the bulk of its conference schedule on a down note. The Vikings host arch-rivals â€” and Pacific Northwest Athletic Conference champions â€” Central Washington University 7p.m. Thursday night in Carver Gym. Forward David Evans and point guard Brandyn Akana led the BYU-H attack. Akana lead the Seasiders with 38 points and six assists. Evans poured in 30 points and alsograbbed eight rebounds. No other BYU-H player scored more than 10. "Akana probably played thegame of his life," Western point guard Jared Stevenson said. "Everything he was throwing up was goingin." Akana, who scored only 8 points in the first half, came out firing in the second half. Akana fueled a13-6 run to give the Seasiders a 48-41 lead. "Akana killed us," Western Coach Brad Jackson said. "Hewas terrific tonight." The Seasiders went to the free-throw line 48 times in the game, while the Vikingsattempted only 25 free throws. Western ranks third in the nation in free-throw accuracy, shooting 78.5percent from the charity stripe. "That seems like that's kind of the way it's been all season," seniorforward Dan DeBord said. "Not because of the officiating, but because we aren't taking the ball to the rim as hard as we should." Stevenson agreed. "We don't take the ball to the basket very hard most of thetime." Western scored five unanswered points to send the game into overtime. DeBord tied the gameat 75 with a jump shot in the lane. The Vikings had a chance to win the game in regulation. AnEngblom-Stryker three-pointer bounced off the rim as time expired. The game went into overtime in a 75-75 tie. In the first overtime, Engblom- Stryker scored four of Western's first six points to give the Vikings the lead 81-80. Throughout the overtime, the lead would switch hands every possession. AfterStevenson drove the lane and hit a jumper, Chris Bates was called for a charge that gave Western theball and the lead, 89- 88. On the next play, Stevenson was fouled and split a pair of free throws to makeit 90-88 with 5.9 seconds in overtime. This gave Akana enough time to drive the length of the floor and,as time expired, tie the game at 90 with a jumper in the middle of the lane. "We fought hard and theygave us two chances to win it," Engblom-Stryker said. "In both regulation and the first overtime â€” weshould have pulled it out there." In the second overtime, Akana finally drove the nail into Western'sproverbial coffin. Akana grabbed the ball, drove to Western's hoop and was fouled by Stevenson. Akanamade the free throw. The shot gave the Seasiders a 93- 90 lead â€” a lead they would not relinquish."We out rebounded them, and we came back to get into overtime; I'm proud of our guys for that,"Jackson said. "But we turned the ball over in certain situations and gave them opportunities." AfterAkana's three-point play, the Seasiders had too much momentum and rolled to 22 points in the five-minute overtime. Western must now put the loss behind them. "We have Central on Thursday; theywill be very, very tough," Jackson said. "They're a very good team." "We know Central will be a realtough opponent," Debord said. "There are always battles between us and them; we just have to refocusand make sure we're ready for them." Western has already played two PNWAC games and 1-1 inconference play. With just eight weeks remaining in the season, every win or loss could mean thedifference between playing in the playoffs or watching them from the sidelines.

Western's women didn't do either in a 67-55 loss to Montana State University-Billings last Saturday. The Vikingsturned the ball over 26 times and allowed the Yellowjackets to grab 12 offensive rebounds. Western haslost two of its last three games and are 14-3. The Vikings are 1-0 in the Pacific Northwest AthleticConference after beating Lewis and Clark State Jan. 21. Montana State improved to 14-6. Westernequaled Montana State with 34 total boards, but it wasn't the number of rebounds that hurt the Vikings. It was the points that the Yellowjackets scored after offensive rebounds that stung the most. "I think theyare a good team, but I didn't think we played very well as a team today," Western Coach Carmen Dolfosaid. "We had a lot of turnovers. We didn't get many boards. We didn't take a lot of shots. We just didnot play well." Montana State held Western to 48 field goal attempts compared to 65 for theYellowjackets. Before Saturday's game, Western ranked nationally in every shooting category. Westernwas shooting 46.6 percent from the field, including 38 percent from behind the three-point line in its first16 games. Against Montana State, the Vikings fizzled, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor, including 2-12 from three-point range. Western's scoring total was 21 points below its season average of 76.9.Western led 8-3 early in the first half, but contributed to a 12-0 Yellowjacket run that put the 'Jacketsahead 15-8. The Vikings turned the ball over eight times in the first eight minutes of the game. CelesteHill canned a pair of free throws to pull Western within two points at 34-32. But every time the Vikingsclosed the gap, the Yellowjackets extended the lead. A three-pointer gave Montana State a seven-pointedge with three minutes into the second half. The Vikings, hurt their chances by throwing the ball away,which led to easy scores for Montana State and less scoring opportunities for Western. "I think all of(the Yellowjackets) are capable of scoring, and I don't think we did a good job on the inside or outside,"Dolfo said. Montana State's Megan Dickerson drilled a pair of back-to-back three-pointers to give theYellowjackets their biggest lead at 51-38 midway through the second half. Western pulled to within sixpoints on a three-pointer by Briana Abrahamsen with five minutes left. But that was as close- as theVikings would get. . Western scored just three points in the final 3:52 of the game. Dickerson led allscorers with 22 points. Hill led Western with 15 points, April Saunders scored 14 and Heidi Van Brocklin added 12. Nicole Krell grabbed eight boards and Saunders had seven. The only consolation to losingSaturday was that it was a non-league game. Western plays PNWAC rival Central Washington University Thursday at Ellensburg. Central is 7-6 and coming off a loss to Saint Martin's College. "I just think weneed to regroup and get back to work," Dolfo said. "I think we are capable; (we just) need to put ittogether."

President Clinton is a lying, cheating bastard.Welcome to the world of politics, right? Wrong. Once again, Clinton's approval rating, not to mention hisjob security, is in jeopardy. And, once again, it is not due to any nefarious political dealings, but tocrimes allegedly committed in his personal life. The time has come for this morbid curiosity with the mostdysfunctional first family to end. From Gennifer Flowers to Paula Jones to Monica Lewinski, the parade of skeletons marching out of Clinton's monogamously challenged closet seems never ending. Ourcollective fascination grows exponentially with every alleged presidential mishap. Suspicion abounds withevery Clinton denial. This time the situation seems a bit more serious than just a little hanky panky inthe Oval Office. Clinton's alleged affair with one-time intern Monica Lewinski has Clinton neck deep inmore political hot water than his presidency may be able to handle. The word "impeachment" has been whispered by more than a few experts, and every major newspaper from The Seattle Times to The New York Times has called the scandal Clinton's Watergate. Has anyone stopped gossiping, speculating and mud-slinging long enough to consider the fact that Clinton's extramarital activities, while certainlyMonday night movie, scandal-of-the-week fodder, are none of our business? Some argue that because he is our president, and therefore accountable to the American people for his actions, we are privy to everydetail of his diminishing private life. Those are also the people who, given the opportunity, would act asClinton's judge, jury and executioner, causing his political demise for crimes that offend their moralities.This witch-hunt attitude overlooks a very basic principle. The American people are not the correct forum to deal with issues of Clinton's infidelity. The affected parties, namely Hillary and Chelsea, are the oneswho should decide his fate â€” as a husband and a father, not as a president. The fact is, mostAmericans would be hard pressed to nail down exactly how their lives have been adversely affected byClinton's reported philandering. When his extramarital activities start having a negative effect oneconomic policy, that is the time to take him to task. It is entirely possible that Clinton's history ofinfidelity is longer and richer than tabloid editors and book agents could even begin to imagine. It is notunlikely that, during his travels, Clinton may have had affairs in every major metropolitan city in the nation. But as long as he can come up for air long enough to deal with issues of domestic and foreign policy,his womanizing should be none of our concern. After all, the only person who should have the right tokick Clinton out of the White House for skirt chasing is Hillary. â€” Carey Ross, Opinions Editor TheWestern Front Editor: Gene Metrick; Managing Editor: Kristen T.

Stop building the Stealth, start balancing the budget Arvid HokansonCOMMENTARY In the present day of the U.S. being the sole world superpower, lawmakers have been given the golden opportunity to show their innovative ideas and a chance to balance the budget in arevolutionary fashion. About 60 years ago, a man by the name of Franklin D. : Roosevelt was electedpresident four consecutive terms, due in part to his amazing ability to pull our nation out of thedepression with the New Deal. The New Deal did all sorts of great things for the country. Many of thenational parks and scenic roads we have come to love are a result of a New Deal product, the WorksProgress Administration (including the bridge at our own Whatcom Falls Park). As each day passes,our nation's infrastructure continues to deteriorate. Roads, schools and the inner cities continue tocrumble as we continue to build the B-2 bomber and other military boondoggles. I know I feel good about a $2-bil-lion jet that can only fly in certain "optimum," conditions. Each year, Congress continues towaste tax dollars on military spending. But if we cut military spending, a lot of people will lose their jobs, which is not good. Members of Congress from military districts continue to fight to keep unnecessarymilitary spending flowing, even when the military, as the Air Force did with the B-2, said no. What thismeans is that, indeed, it is time to slash the already bloated military budget and retrain those workers torebuild America. Right about now you may be wondering just how this plan would work. First, we wouldre-allocate wasted defense dollars to training military workers "I know I feel good about a $2 billion jetthat can only fly in certain, 'optimum,' conditions." to learn the skills of rebuilding the infrastructure.What about the highly skilled labor, though? That isn't too hard, either. If nothing else, Boeing has "HelpWanted" signs posted in every department. Even the Center for Defense Information, which promotesresponsible military spending and is comprised of retired high-ranking military officers, reportscontinuing to fund projects similar to the B-2 bomber is a waste of money. We need to watch out,though; the military industry will fight hard to save itself by filling campaign re-election coffers, a goodexample of where actions speak louder than words. The people of this nation want the budgetbalanced. First, start by cutting defense spending - the cold war is over. Second, re-allocate the money to fund social programs, .such as health care for children and the National Endowment for the Arts, andwith the remaining funding, institute a program to help rebuild the thousands of pothole-filled roads,aging schools and unsafe buildings and bridges. Last time I checked, it did not cost $2 billion to build aschool; Haggard Hall alone is costing somewhere around $22 million to renovate. With the $1.8 billionleft over from one less plane, we could fund many other projects and still have money left over for a taxbreak. We could even, Jesse Helms forbid, pay off our $1- billion debt to the United Nations. Whenmaking the budget, lawmakers seem to have trouble cutting useless, wasteful and vote-gatheringprograms. However, it is time for members of Congress to put the partisanship aside and consider whatis best for the more than 250 million people of the United States of America. After lawmakers do such agreat thing for the people, they could go down in history as the Congress that instituted real campaign-finance reform, too. | l ^ ^ | i ^ B | | i | | i ^ u s content.

Director Don Walter has been putting band members through their drills several times each rehearsal so that there will be no slipups on Saturday night.

EVERYONE MEETS AT THE KICKOFF ASSEMBLY, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 11 MARY LEEPER TO SPEAK AT TRAY LUNCHEON Miss Mary Leeper, executive secretary of the Association for Child-rood Education, International, will be on the WWC campus, visiting the Campus school on Wednesday, October 12. At noon, the local college ACE group is sponsoring a tray luncheon in the Edens hall c'ub room. She will speak to the group that attends. Numerous faculty, members will also attend the luncheon. Student Enrollment Exceeds 1500 Enrollment at Western Washington college passed the 1500 mark Monday morning, according to President W. W. Haggard. In making this announcement Dr. Haggard commented that this is an increase of 50 percent over any year prior to the last war. The previous high occurred during the 1920*8 when en-rollmen reached the 1000 mark during one fall quarter. Help Wanted-One Beautiful WWC Co-ed to Rule Over 7949 Homecoming; Four Assistants Also Needed Have you heard about Queen Sigrid XIT* affair? Well, we have, and f,; the guilty parties behind this rumor ' are Shirley Gwynn and Jess Winders, co-chairmen for the Homecoming Queen Affairs committee. The facto are leaking out, and here are a few we've picked up which Western students should keep in ;•; 1... on Tuesday, October 11, students wi go to class meetings where nominations will be made. 17 a. Freshmen and sopha will nominate 3 candidates. b. Juniors and seniors will nominate 2 candidates. c. Nominations this year should be based upon (1) personality, (2) school service, (3) beauty, so that Queen Sigrid XII' will really represent Western's sdnooi spirit. 2. Candidates nominated are responsible for their own campaign Afti* the Kick-off Assemllllln^naget or managers, who should be upper-classmen who know the election ropes and who are able to work up good publicity angles for their-candidates. 3. Tuesday, October. 18, at 10:00 candidates will be presented by their campaign managers in an all-school assembly. 4: Election will be held after the assembly on the 18th and on the 19th, until one o'clock, when the polls will close. 5. The queen will be chosen from either the junior or senior class. 6. There will be one princess from each class, making four in all. 7. The queen and her court will be announced on Thursday, October 20. Two Weeks Before Homecoming, 1949 With the 1949 Homecoming now but two weeks away, members of. „the various committees dedicated to making this year's celebration a. long-to-be-remembered success, are busily engaged in their final preparations. Activities officially got under way this morning with the nomination of candidates for the coveted honor of Queen Sigrid XII, Homecoming ruler. Homecoming co-chairmen John Hill and Barbara Hodges have '—— :—^announced that the events this X"* • AA* vear will follow the theme of Costume Mixer Will Feature Mother Goose Departing from the usual convention, the committee for the Homecoming mixer has announced that costumes will be in order for the dance, to be held Friday, October 21. .Following closely the theme for the Homecoming skits, the idea of "Fairyland" or the "Children's Hour" will prevail at the mixer, and should provide all students with a chance to turn up costumed in something really original. To stimulate enthusiasm, the committee has decided to give prizes for the most original costumes. Because of the limited time interval between the bonfire, Homecoming assembly, and Homecoming mixer on that evening, students will be allowed to wear their costumes to the assembly so that they can go directly to the mixer from the assembly. Those students who will be participating in the skits may wear their skit costumes to the mixer, which gives them a slight advantage over the others, so everyone should get busy on his costume right away. The committee urges, "get y o u r s e l f a book of- Mother Gooose, decide what you want to have for a costume, work feverishly during the next two weeks getting it ready, and then wear your masterpiece to the big Homecoming mixer on Friday evening, October 21, in the junior high gym. Who knows— you may win the prize!" Dateline . Friday, October 7 — Bellingham churches hold open house, evening. Saturday, October 8—Camera club field trip.

Western Washington college this fall is beginning its fifty-first year, and in so doing, promises to begin another chapter to remember. The events of Friday, October 21—including the pep-rally, parade, assembly, and mixer—are to be cehteN ed on the theme of the "Children's Hour" because this denotes the fact that. WWC's coming term is the ber ginning of its "second childhobd." On Saturday, October 22, Homecoming week-end reaches its climax in the afternoon gridiron tussle with the Whitworth Pirates. Preceding the-football game is the annual. Homecoming luncheon, and Homecoming 1949 comes to a close Saturday night with the "W" club-sponsored' dance. TOO MANY. So many students responded to the request for help on the.Hqmer coming committees that it-was ira-possible to assign work for all. However, a list of those who signed up is being kept for reference so that those who^are genuinely, interested in school activities will have the opportunity- to serve at some future date during the school year.- Tickets, Please! Unfortunately, at each home football game a few students loan their student activities tickets - to non-students and then attempt to gain admission to the game by explaining to the gatemen that they forgot their activities ticket. i i^i Please bear in mind that admission to home games is by SIGNED student activities: ticket. If a student fails to present a SIGNED student activities ticket at the gate, gatemen will not admit the student on personal recognition. ,;•: ?£;••• VETERANS COMPRISE gt; "- 30% OF STUDENT BODY U Veteran students attending Western Washington college on the G.

It is your chance to insure a school year full of activity and enjoyment! IT IS THE CLUB CARNIVAL WEDNESDAY AT 7:30 P. M. (See story page one.) That old cliche about ail work and no play making Jack a dull boy is probably just as true today as ever and carnival co-chairmen Donnell Mosier, Pat Wright, and Ralph Brown have really taken it to heart. They seem to be bending backwards to see that no one misses out on Western's abundant activity program. Great praise and appreciation is due them from every student at WWC. Following a short assembly in the auditorium, you will be given a chance to interview four clubs in which you may be interested. As you will notice in your Navigator, there Is a wide variety from which to choose. There should be at least four clubs in which any student would be interested, but you are not obligated to join any one. The idea is just to look over the field. After the interview, all the students will meet in the lounge for a social get-together and more opportunity to meet with club members. .... This is your chance to get in on the inside of the clubs of your choice. It's up to you; so grab i t! Let's Hope Joe College, Like 'OW Man ^River', Just Keeps Rolling Since our wonderful U.S.A. is but a tender youth in a world of elderly nations, most of its present day units of life and learning, such as colleges, had their humble origin not so many decades ago. That heart-warming scene in which a.handful of national scholars gathered at the entrance way of a modest building, still in the throes of construction, to await the arrival of their institution's first student —that scene so familiar to us through speeches and general reading, and its successive scene, the coming of the young scholar-to-be whb has walked across 99 miles of hills and meadows and streams . . . Yes, with the exception of those early-established New England models of Old World schooling, the American college is a comparative new corner to the advanced usage of paper and pen, figures and chalk. And in viewing the scholastic picture from the standpoint of far-away places and strange-sounding names, Joe College has made really fantastic strides since he attended some desert institution catering to the art of making mummies or a scientific haven for undergraduate book-binders. Joe College probably had a lounge then where he could grab a cup of Danube river water and a few ancient drags of Turkish tobacco, but the comparison with today soon sizzles out. Did ol' Joe have school colors? He was probably black and blue from the terrific pace of his ancient alma mater. But seriously editorializing, we're mighty lucky to have such a wonderous school as Western. Most of all we should feel a deep pride for the advancements scored; by our nation in the field of collegiate learning. Let's all hope that Joe College, like the river in the song; "Just keeps rollin'along." A Kentucky colonel always closed his eyes when he took a drink and one day someone asked him why. T^^j^r'iif^i-iii^iooi^UUab, suh," the colonel explained,,"always makes my mouth watah, wuh and Ah do not care to dilute mah drink." Out On. Limb, Doctor Claims By LEX MILTON In view of the ever increasing housing shortage at WWC, Dr. Tur-ums W. Ithbaath, housing expert, has started a "back-to-nature" movement. He has also expressed the hope that college officials will not by-pass his plan merely because of its apparent simplicity, for he reminds us that mighty foliage from from little nuts evolve. As Dr. Ithbaath explains it, "If the housing shortage has gotten you out on a limb . . . stay there. In all probability there is another over your head (limb), which, although it isnot as good as a roof, is better than the starry skies if you can't see said stars because of prevailing precipitation." The good doctor goes on to point out that the Pinnhed Indians of Lower Subhor-malia have lived in trees for years without any noticeable defects— other than tails. And as he says, "tails can be easily hidden in modern clothing unless mother wears tights." Showing his outstanding versatility, Dr. I. has also taken up another aspect of the situation. In his 400- page pamphlet entited, "Down and Out Over Housing," or "Living in a Fox Hole is O. K. If the Foxes Can Stand It," he tells us how . some ingenious students at Pneumonia university lived four years in a furnished cave. Dr. Ithbaath urges that all students having housing difficulties contact him immediately in his office on the fourth floor of the new music building, second scaffold to the right of tne elevator shaft. The "Back-to-Nature" housing drive will continue from September 31 to November 31. Dr. I. emphatically states, "Don't be bashful. Swing up and tell old uncle Turums your troubles. Also hair cut cheap." Interclub Council Is Clearing House Next Wednesday evening when the annual club carnival swings into action there will be 18'Western Washington college clubs represented. Coordinating the activities of these 18 clubs is the Interclub council. This group is composed of representatives of all the various cubs in the college. The council which handles many of the weighty problems of the student body integrates the activities of the 18 clubs. One of the biggest jobs of the council is to promote the activities and the interests of all the clubs and organizations of the college and to see that all the clubs conform to standards laid down by the group. Among the womens' clubs to be represented are: the Valkyrie and Off-Campus Women's club. The Valkyrie girls are the cute gals in the blue sweaters. They are Western's official pep grup. Off-Campus women are a social group of women not living in organized houses. They sponsor mixers, candy sales and other social affairs. One of the most popular women's clubs at dinner time is ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1949 October 7 - Page 3 ---------- By PAUL GILLIE The Student Body's Board of Control, meeting at 4 p. m., Wednesday, October 5 . . . "* " ' Heard Mrs. Ruth Burnet, publi- :i cations advisor, discuss the two fall publications, the Homecoming booklet and the Profile, a student directory. Mrs. Burnet presented the in- ! formal applications of Ken Forseth \ and Nancy Merrick for the positions ! of editor and manager, respective- : ly, '• of the Homecoming booklet, ( recommending approval. The board I unanimously accepted their applica- ; tions. Discussion then centered l around the Profile. Inasmuch as l +:Jstudents and faculty alike have *~% iu|fa j t to be useful in the past, it -^^'"g^erally agreed that it should { bi^published again this fall. It was \ decided, however, that the Profile \ this year will carry no advertising, 'depending on sales to defray a ma-i jor portion of the cost of publication and the remainder to be met by stu- : dent body funds.. Mrs. Burnet was requested to have an estimate of ' publication costs presented at the i next meeting of the board. Questioned the merits of a pro- : posal submitted by Al Magnuson, [•- WWCollegian business manager, that j a representative of the Collegian be 4 sent to the National Press confer- I ence in Detroit. The board was of I the general opinion that the bene-j fits to the student body to be de- * rived from such a trip would not / ; justify the expenditure. Allotted $6.00 for a magazine subscription to be used by publications staffs and-journalism classes which had previously been stricken from the budget. Received a report from John Hill, *• Homecoming co-chairman, on the •^progress of Homecoming preparations. A budget overage of $48.37 I was approved on the basis that it ! J could be compensated for by sales ?"df dance tickets to alumni. .Appointed Vic Lund and Lola Washington COLLEGIAN October 7, 1949 WWCoHegian, Bellihgham, Washington Page'3 FfSamuelson to fill the two vacancies •oh the Board or Control, to serve [until the end of fall quarter. Discussed the possibilities of pursing a movie camera and equip-lent as suggested by the athletic epartment. No definite action was aken. Approved an expenditure of $9.02 ffor taxes due on Kulshan cabin.

Important changes in teacher certification procedures affecting nearly every student of WWC enrolled in the teacher education curriculum were announced by the state board of education during the summer. The purpose of these new regulations is to provide for a general certificate replacing both the elementary and secondary certificates by 1951. The state boatd of education in meeting on June 24, 1949, adopted the following regulations pertaining to establishment of a general certificate: 1. A qualifying, general certificate valid for one year, renewable annually to a total of four years, is to be issued following four. years successful pre-service education. .. 2. One continuous year of initial teaching experience is to follow pre-service education. 3. A fifth year of teacher education at the graduate level is to be required following initial teaching experience and prior to issuance of a permanent general certificate. This fifth year must begin during the first year after initial teaching experience either as a full year or as summer school, preferably the former. • v:4. No qualifying general certificate is to be issued prior to July 1, 1OT1. 5. No permanent general certificate is to be issued prior to July 1, 1953. WWC will continue to offer elementary and secondary certificates during the transition period to students graduating before August, 1951. Entering students and students who have completed less' than two years wilLhave little difficulty adjusting to the new requirements adopted by WWC in accord with the new certification procedures. Students who have completed more than two years will adjust to the new pattern as far as possible. However, no student who has followed the regular teacher education schedule will be expected to spend additional time in order to conform to the new requirements. Believing that the needs of youth will be served best by providing teachers who are equipped to teach at either elementary or secondary level, the state board of education has stated that every teacher should have sound understanding of the whole cycle of. human growth and development an* nave experience in working with youth at several different age levels between the kindergarten and the twelfth grade. Accordingly,- the program 'for student teaching will soon be expanded to enable undergraduates to obtain laboratory experences with both elementary and secondary student groups. , ONE TO FOUR Under the program for the new general certficate, the student's initial teaching experience is regarded as an integral part of the program of teacher education. This period must last at least one year and no more than four years, with each teacher having the option of returning to a recognized training institution for one continuous year following his first year of teaching or attending four sunlmer sessions. The program of studies for the fifth year of-college work is to be selected by the student with the guidance of those who have worked with him during his period of initial teaching and the advisors in the institution in which he will be studying. The student may choose any approved institution for this fifth year but it is the responsibility of his pre-service institution to assist the student in planning his program for the final year and upon its completion to-recommend him for the permanent general certificate. , . FOLLOW THROUGH The state board ot education plans to take the lead in fostering cooperative effort to follow through with each student until he completes his final year and in fostering the improvement of the teacher education programs in each college. Vilcs Cheered On to Cheney By Loyal Fans By MORRIE KNUTZEN Last Saturday morning a group of about 50 faithful Viking rooters gathered on the blacktop in front of the gymnasium to see the team off to Cheney.

Game time is scheduled for 8 o'clock. John Jurkovich, W. Brock, J. Knutson and Jack Guyot compose the Gladiators backfield, and as Coach Lappenbusch says: "All of their backfield can pass, and they all do once they get started. Our job is to see that they DON'T get underway." To cope with the Lutes' passing offensive, coach Lappenbusch has a reshuffled his defensive squad—Bre-vick and Yonlick at the tackle spots, Lambert at guard, does end, and either Svidran or Kosar at the other end. The defensive backfield will place emphasis on height and speed. Rufus Winter, Jack Roberts, Jerry Karnofski, Everett Tiland, Tom Stevens, and Lowell Nash will keep loose passes from connecting in the backfield. The offensive line-up will be Partlow and Prevelle, ends, and Brevick and Richardt, tackles, and Compton and Currier, guards, and Rasmussen and Gorud, centers. The quarterback is Lindbloom, with Tom Taylor and Roy Richardsan hand-' ling halfback slots. Fullback is Hash. —Cut Courtesy Bellingham Herald Big Bill Currier .^will help the Vikings push home a strong offense against the Lutes tomorrow night. Currier's fine offensive play makes him one of the outstanding guards in the conference. In the 1948 season Bill was named all conference guard, while at Linfield college in 1947, guard Currier made the little all-American mention. Clarence Marshall, former writer on the Collegian, is a member of the pitching staff of the New York Yankees. Clary is a Bellingham boy who went into big league baseball immediately following high school. He is credited with three Yankee wins. John Jurkovich of PLC can pass, kick, and run, and as a result is a constant threat on offense. He is one of the better passers in the Evergreen conference and will be candidate for All-Conference honors. He will meet the Vikings tomorrow nil**.:: ••.'; SKATELAND LET'S GO SKATING TONIGHT 7:30 to 10:30 CLAMP SKATES 50c SHOE SKATES 75c Wednesday Through Sunday Saturday and Sunday, 1:00-3:00 1417 State St. H H SPORTING GOODS CO Agents for Spalding Athletic Equipment 13288 Commercial St Phone4937 Complete Cleaning Service "Our Experience and Equipment Is Your Guarantee of Quality'' Vienna Cleaners Inc. 206 East Magnolia Phone 265 WHEN THEY SAY ; , . - • - ' MUELLER'S THEY MEAN PAUL MUELLER Bellingham's Leading JEWELER 1305 Cornwall Ave. V-fild anbli 181- en . .... by Ken Western's line was in Eastern's backfield so often last Saturday they almost had to erect signals to direct traffic. When one of the Savages* highly rated scatbacks did slither through, the pony express defensive squad tailed" and nailed them. Everybody played good football, and the only difference between victory or defeat was a debatable pass-interference call. If the official had interpreted the action a trifle differently the outcome would have been . . . but that's football. ~ — Several of the traveling dignitaries (that who's-who of Evergreen football) were aghast at the proficiency of straight-line defense in football!' They were also lavish in their praise of Norm Hash, Tom Taylor, Mel Lindbloom and others of the offensive assembly. Scouting plays is an important part in modern football, and Eastern was well scouted. One of their-backfield men, after being ruggedly tackled, struggled to his feet and asked Roy Richardson how the Vikings knew where the Savages were going on every play. PLC arrives tomorrow. They bring to town one of -the best attacks in the league. Jurkovich and company know how to pass a • ball, and once started, refuse to quit. On the assumption that the fa line of the locals will make life miserable for the Lutes, this column, will now endeavor to conjecture. If Coach Lappenbusch can get a- little more polish and scoring punch in his offensive eleven they should be a touchdown better. Retraction! In the last edition of the WWCollegian there appeared on the sports page two pictures which had misleading undercuts attached to them. Under a cut of Frank Gay da the caption stated that Gay da was an end and a reserve on this year's squad. This was wrong. Gay da is not at present enrolled at Western. The caption under the cut of A! Weber stated that Weber was slated to go to Cheney. As Weber started turning out for the squad only last week this was also wrong. We apologize to our readers for these errors. B. B. FURNITURE CO.

Budding Newsmen Do Real Thing in Colleges, Services In colleges all over the land, a study shows, thousands of aspiring newspaper men and women, are dreaming of futures as foreign correspondents, columnists and sports editors, while they tackle the chores of producing collegiate publications. Many schools, like Universities of California, Minnesota, and Washington, sponsor daily papers of standard size. In editorial capacities comparative to those of commercial papers, the budding hopefuls achieve considerable experience, the study indicates. Papers range from daily to monthly publications and reach the readers hands in a variety of sizes. Although the majority of these are tabloid in format, the survey indicates a change to more standard sized papers.

Yes, the annual rains will soon start, and, for some' unfortunate people, this means the beginning of those long treks up High street in the down pour. Such an example of continually drenched, washed out humanity is Chester Chitterwaker, a poor WWC student living near the bottom of High street. Chester's day begins when at 7:00 a. m., he awakens to the feeble ringing of his alarm clock, accompanied by the famiilar "drip, drop, splat" of rain coming through the hole in the roof of his room. Tearing himself from his mildewing bed,. Chester begins dressing and soon discovers that he unfortunately has left his shoes beneath the "drip." Emptying out the water, he sops up some of the moisture with an old Kleenex, and after a struggle, succeeds in pulling them on hs icy feet. Donning 'his raincoat (still, wet from yesterday), and taking his six textbooks and six small notebooks in his arms, Chester goes squish-squashing outside, water spraying from his shoes at every step. of Alaska has a newspaper these days with all the cold facts. Also rated high in the field of amateur publications are those of the armed forces. Nearly every army post, air force base and navy ship or station, the study shows, has an official paper. The majority of service journalists are youths who will enter college upon discharge, and it is indicated, that school publications are bound to profit from the background and experience they bring with them. .Standing outside the/ house,: *»[ looks sorrowfully up the lei^Ui^! the hill, then with a sigh, 3 p | ^ ^ on his way.

Fall Quarter Basketball Starts Oct. 12 Fall quarter play in the intramural basketball league is starting Wednesday, October 12. Tuesday, the bowlers will start tipping the pins at the 20th Century alleys. All teams are to be registered with Sam Carver on or before Monday, October 10. Any group may organize a team and enter league play. The only requirements are that you attend Western this quarter aud are a male. When your team is organized, appoint one member as captain and have him turn in the team name to Sam Carver or Jack Ross. Western has an excellent intramural program the year around and you will be doing yourself a good service to become familiar with it as early as possible. An alert mind and a healthy body run hand in and, or. so say the experts. There are still several openings in both leagues. Anyone desiring to place a team in the league has three more days to do so. ^Intramural director, Sam Carver, will be very glad to help anyone desiring more information.

Holly Phone 19 Women's Rec Group Sponsorsfiadminton Recently, in quite a few colleges, WWC included, the Women's Athletic 'Association was changed to the Women's Recreation Association. Why, you ask? So that more of the women students will be attracted to the recreational side of college life. Those women who aren't interested in the more active, sports that WRA offers, can still belong to some of the clubs that the WRA includes. Some of these are the Modern Dance club, the Riding club, the Badminton club, and the Blue Barnaces. The WRA has a cabin on beautiful Sinclair island (one of the San Juan group) where the WRA club holds outings throughput the year. For your information, WWC was one of the first colleges to change from WAA to WRA. Colleges all over the nation are making the change. All these belong to the federation of the Women's Recreation Association. ^ • Men's Suits, Slacks, Topcoats 1308 Commercial Phone 361 MEET YOUR FRIENDS At The High Holly Service Station Evergreen Tilt With Cheney Squad Western's blue-dad Vikings pulled the first scare of the Evergreen league this«year, as they held the co-champions of Eastern Washington to a 13 to 6 win last Saturday night. _ It was Western's passing attack that almost pulled the upset for the Vikings. / Eastside reports had the Savages of Cheney four to six touchdowns over the Blue and White, but that was before the game. Eastern kicked off to the Hill-toppers and after an exchange of downs, the Savages held the ball on their own thirteen. Meriel Michel-son, who was in Western's hair all evening, broke through the line and looked like he was going the 87 yards for a touchdown, but Jack Roberts, half of the mighty-mites combination, caught him from behind on the Viks 13. From this point the defensive squad took over and held the Red and White. TAYLOR TO PARTLOW After an exchange of fumbles and pass interceptions, Tom Taylor and his left arm started warming up. Hal "Mutt" Partlow took two of Taylor's passes and made a WWC touchdown. Hal's task wasn't as easy as it sounds. The first pass from Taylor was a good one, but there were three Eastern men covering Partlow. Somehow, however, Hal came down with the ball, and it put Western on the eight yard line of the Savages. Taylor threw a coffin corner pass to Partlow, a little low and in front of him, but a diving catch put the Viks ahead six to nothing. Walt Clayton's kick was wide, and the first half score read: Western 6, Eastern 0. OUCH Eastern started out fast in the second half, and soon took the lead away from the Vikings. After the kickoff and return to Eastern's 25, it took the Savages eight plays to tie the score at 6 to 6. The try-for-point was good, and Eastern had'a 7 to 6 lead. Three minutes after the first Announcing . .

Eight seemed to be the Eastern boys lucky number as it took them just that many plays to score their sec-' dnd touchdown, which completed the nights scoring. The try-for-point was blocked by the whole Western line. Western's passing boys gained a lot of attention from the crowd. Some of the comments picked up were, "Everybody passes on Western's squad," and "Is there anyone that doesn't pass on that team?" Western's whole lineup-^both the offensive and defensive teams-played superb ball. Norm Hash did a workhorse roll. When there were holes Norm went through them, when there wasn't, Mr. Hash made one. Jerry Karnofski and Mike Kosar also played heads up ball on the defensive rolls. Jack Roberts and Roy Richardson, the mighty-mite twins, stood out on both the offensive and defensive rolls} Don't forget that ball game tomorrow night afe* Battersby field as the Vikings take on the Pacific Lutheran Gladiators.

A modern ballet; "Lilac Garden"-was the first presentation that opened on a scene in which the entire-stage and the dancers were displayed in.striking colors of blue. With swanlike grace and supple agility, Nora Kaye/danced the part of the bride-to-be who attempts, to say a fond farewell to her real lover before leaving with her betrothed. Outstanding also were Hugh Laing, as the lover, and Maria KamiloVa as an Episode, in his Past. The ballet was danced to music by Chausson as played by the company's orchestra. With great sensibility, the violin.played the lyric melody that contained all the charm and pureness of this French impressionist Chausson. ^ i. . . ' . . ' ' . ' ;— Roman Court Setting In the regal splendor of a Roman Court, the ballet "Princess Aurora" found Its magnificent setting. Before the royal couple, many varied types of dances were performed to the dramatic and powerful music of Peter Tschaikowsky. Outstanding was the dance "Rose Adagio" (Princess Aurora and the four princes) which contained all the magnificent grace of a century gone by. Nana Gollner as Princess Aurora was the epitome of breathtaking grace as she performed eight complete consecutive turns on one foot." The three Ivans,, Nicholas Orloff, Stanley Herbert, and Fernando Al-onso, were good for a laugh as they displayed themselves as being nothing short of the Marx Brothers with their dance of \ suspiciously Russian 'origin. With costumes of exquisite' aquamarine colors and to a flowing melody, Rosella Hightower and: Andre Eglevsky were outstanding as they danced the four variations of the "Bluebird." Filial Ballet Amuses The final ballet, "Helen of Troy," concerns Paris, and the manner in which the flight with .Helen of Troy was accomplished, i n a bouffant and burlesque manner, the ballet was extremely amusing. Completely captivating was the capricious Lamb as portrayed by Patricia Barker, although she was not to be • outshone by. the group of very, convincing sheep. The rake of the group was Jerome Robbins ;as gt;Hermes who did everything from .knitting furiously to counting the number of people in the audience. Amid all this turmoil there was some seriousness ,as found in a beautiful solo executed .by .Nana .Gollner (Helen), -In/ keeping with the livelinessof the balled was the; • Edens Hall received the attention of the entire Bellingham fire department Wednesday night, and it wasn't a purely social call either. There was a fire 1 ! ! '• After dinner, the girls on third floor found all of their rooms full of smoke. The. root of all the trouble (and we do mean the, fire) turned out to be room 322, and an iron that was left On. Rachel Blekkink proved the heroine of the day, with the fire extinguisher (which; by the way, had never been used before), Miss Blekkink put out the flame. The accusing . way the firemen looked at the girls, they, were glad that they had some proof that there had been a fire and that the whole thing wasn't just a false alarm.

Today's assembly period was given over to meetings of the AWS, in the auditorium, and of the Norsemen's club ni Room 220. Rachel Blekkink and Herb Witt, club presidents opened their respective meetings. AWS commission members demonstrated to the women students in two scenes the duties of commission. Wiht Alice Marie Anderson as M. C, the first scene showed comically what is not done at commission meetings. In the second scene, the regular commission meeting which would ordinarily fa,U on Tuesday, March 7, was held on the stage before Associated Women Students. Speaking on a topic of current interest concerning Russia, deba-tors from the University of Washington will participate, in the assembly for Tuesday, March 7. Postponed from last Tuesday's assembly hour, a one-act play, "Happy journey," will be presented by Victor H. Hoppe's drama students in» the assembly Friday, March 10. A musical 'program presented by the music department on Tuesday, March 14,"will be the final assembly for the quarter. Journal Prints Snow's List • With due apologies to the English 61 class, it should be stated that they, and not the English 60 class has been working with Miss Miriam Snow in compiling the state list of basic books and the criticism of the children's book list for the World Book Encyclopedia as was stated in a previous article. Miss Snow's compilation of the state list of, basic books may be seen in the January issue of the Washington State Curriculum Journal. Registration Sees Course Changes • Pre-registration h,as been of primary interest this past week as the students of WWC have labored over the arrangement of their spring quarter schedules.

This tea, and the presentation of complimentary tickets for the showing of "Brief Music" at the Theater Guild playhouse Saturday night, composed the college contribution to the entertainment of the annual winter G.R. conference. Plans for the afternoon were made under chairman Doris Tedford's supervision, with Blue Triangle and AWS as co-sponsors of the affair. Following the tea, the girls were divided into small groups and taken on campus tours. \$evib P.obek. Members of the AWS are still urging WWC students to donate their 75 cents which will send the WWCollegian to one serviceman for a year. According to Peggy Custer, chairman, the committee hopes to collect 50 dollars before the end of the drive. Posters on display in the hails ask everyone to give their dimes, nickels, quarters, -and dollars to this worthy cause, and charts on the front of the collecting booth record the progress of, the drive' according to classes. CiI VIC use Olympia Supervisor Workshop Member • This week, we present another member of the workshop staff to be on the campus during the summer session. Possessing a miaster's degree from Washington State College and formerly principal of the Wilson school at Spokane, Miss Suzan Lacey, will center her interests with the primary curriculum teachers this summer. At present, Miss Lacey is on leave from Spokane as primary supervisor in the state department of education at Olympia. The correction comes from the President's office that Miss Baldwin, who it was mentioned last week, would teach spring quarter, will not be a member of the WWC staff until the summer workshop session. Marshall, Gilday Go South to Bat • Clarence Marshall, freshman, and Jim Gilday, senior, are scheduled to leave on the 11:30 train from Seattle tonight for Bakers-field, California, where they both will go. into spring training for the Seattle Rainiers. ' Both boys are veteran team members ; Gilday is an infielder and Marshall a pitcher. Gilday plans to finish his' course for graduation via correspondence. Shown 'Brief Music' • Bellingham's little theatre, the Civic Playhouse, presented "Brief Music," a guest play from WWC last Thursday, Friday, and Satur-, day. "All three performances were wonderful," commented Shirley Olson, student director. "Working in an unfinished theater is no dream, but this was sure a lot of fun." Casualties Few "There were very few casualties considering the conditions we were under," said Beverly Mc Nalley, who took care of the properties and had fairly a hard time getting props on the stage and off for the various scenes. Assistants Kept Busy Patsy Jacobsen prompted froni a: cat-walk above the main curtain, for the cast felt they couldift have gotten along without her. During the performance, Miss Olson was kept busy pulling curtains and seeing that last minute preparations were made. Director V. H. Hoppe, of the speech department, came backstage Saturday night during the per^ formance and stated, "My, this is going fine. I've been sitting out front enjoying eyery minute, of it." Hoppe Gives Party Following the performance Sat* urday night, the cast: Hannah Rheimer, Pat Bright, Merrie Virginia Erlandson, Ardelle Natale, Jean Knudsen, Elaine Dahlgren, and Mary Louise Burke, and prop girls, Beverly McNalley, Patsy Jacobsen, and Peggy Custer were rewarded with a party at the home of Mr. Hoppe. ... The cast felt as if there should be more performances; but they say they would require more of Mrs. Hoppe's chocolate cake if the-play were ever presented again. Honor Veteran Miller Home Lt. Vernoq Miller, former student of w w p, | was home on leave this week after completing lllll* his tour of duty. As a bombardier on a Liberator, Lt.

Mrs/Reynolds explained further how her husband's interest in photographing birds in their natural habitat soon developed into a family hobby. At present, her husband. Dr. Eric Reynolds, now serving with the naval forces in the South Pacific, is still following his boyhood hobby by photographing birds native to those regions, while Mrs. Reynolds, a son, and a daughter, continue at home. As a result of five years' work, the outdoor loving, Reynolds family has recorded in kodakrome the habits and peculiarities of over seventy species of their feathered friends by attracting the birds to their own backyard garden in the San Francisco Bay area or by pursuing them, camera in hand, through the woodlands of the Pacific coast. Included in the 10,000 feet of film are close-ups of all types of birds from the tiny humming bird,, which Mrs. Reynolds smilingly describes as "the loveliest tiling in nature that anyone could see," to the graceful heron, "the most common and beautiful of the coastal birds."' Mrs. Reynolds' lecture and movie has been presented to numerous colleges and organizations along the West coast, and she plans to travel to New York in the near future. Bird photography proves to be challenging as well as interesting to Mrs. Reynolds who points out, "You have to be a little smarter than the birds to catch them in their natural habitats. Camp Catidids • Francis Hill, son of Mrs. Helen Hills, of Klickitat, graduated February 10 from the Naval Air Training Ctenter, Corpus Christi, and was commissioned an ensign in the US Naval reserves.

He has received battle clasps for service in the Mediterranean area. During his leave he visited WWC. • Lt, Jim Junkin, USMCR, former president of the student body, is now on active duty in the South Pacific. In a letter to Dr. Haggard, '42 Prom Princess With Newspaper • Liv Broseth Booth, Prom Princess of 1942, is now managing sales and correspondence concerning pictures for the New York Daily News, according to word received from her this week. Mrs. Booth is the wife of Lt. Harold W. Booth, USNR, a former student and Board of Control member at WWC. They are now living in Tudor City, a small district in New York, although according to Mrs. Booth's letter, they have lived in almost every port of the east and west coast, wherever Booth's duties have called him. They recently visited Pvt. Ross Tibbies, former WWCer, and his new bride, at Monmouth Beach, New Jersey, near where Tibbies is stationed. Woman of the Week Everyone knows that music is the favorite pastime of our spotlight woman this week Fourteen years of study have made her an accomplished pianist, and a willing one, too, when someone is in need of an accompanist. She loves popular music to dance to,, not to play. She calls dancing her favorite sport. Banana cream pie and ice cream are her favorite foods, but not together. Math is her preference at school, and she's a whiz. Her favorite male is—but that's quite obvious—she wears a new "sparkler." . . She graduated from Bellingham high school in 1942—that makes her a soph now—as valedictorian of her class.. The woman our "evil eye" falls on this week came to Bellingham in 1939 from We-natchee where she was born some nineteen years ago. Only (six months later she was going steady with the man she is now engaged to. She herself will remind you that that was the last leap year, and that she got her ring very early in.this one. Her long list of activities will be a dead give-away, for it includes Valkyrie, Blue Triangle. Scholarship Society, AWS corrf-mission, and war activities board. Now you might as well know. Henry Von Bargen's the lucky guy, "and Doris Tedford, the Woman of the Week. Lt. Junkin expressed his appreciation for receiving the college paper. He said that it looked as good to him as the New York Times. Among the V-12's, home on va-cation from the U. of W. this week were Lawrence Johnson, Earl Nort-vedt, Milton MacFarland, Sheldon Wilkins, and Dick Verrill, all former students of WWC. Ed Rhodes, freshman from Concrete last year, was visiting former haunls this week en route to Sand Point from Dickenson, North Dakota, where he has been with the V-12 unit.

"This party really has its points." • This is but a sample of the conversation in the air at 727 Garden street last Sunday evening. Pleased as pink as the ration stamps they held, six lucky library workers and Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, head librarian, were guests at the apartment of Miss Pearl Reese, secretary to the librarian. Food and entertainment were strictly on -the point basis with. Miss Reese manufacturing the ration books (wait till the OPA hears about this). The SFSSWWCEL, alias the guests, took turns serving a dreamy dinner and, later, related events from their past history according to the numbers of their ration stamps. After a few widely varying reactions had been given concerning the Publications Prom, the conversation reverted to the subject of H20. Included among these impromptu dissertations were "How to Drown in a Steamship Bathtub," Crystal Ackerman's version of "Paddling Your Own Canoe," "Water Skiis," and "Sharks in the South Pacific." The general disadvantages of salt, sulphur, mineral and Bellingham water were also discussed. When the party came to a close, the last ration points proved the best as each guest was rewarded with a flower from the lovely centerpiece. Staff Shindig Sends Cub to Rainiers • Clarence Marshall, WWC freshman, was given a noisy goodbye by members of the Collegian staff, who surprised him with a farewell party in the Publications office last Tuesday evening, prior to his departure this evening for Bakersfield, California, to begin spring training with the Seattle Rainiers. As a small token of their friendship, the staff members presented him with a half dozen pairs of bright colored socks. Refreshments were served and included an appropriately decorated cake expressing the staff's hopes of good luck for Clarey.

Jim played in the infield during the first of the season for Seattle last year, while Clarey went to the Rainiers last summer .after his graduation from high school... Both men have shown a great deal of promise, and are expected to stick with Seattle all season. SPRING SPORTS PROGRAM Already thoughts of many students and faculty have turned to next quarter, and to the intramural sports program. Softball was the first thing that came to the minds of the intramural leaders. However, they are faced with the problem of not having enough boys in school to form a league among the men students. Last summer this difficulty was overcome by the formation of a mixed intramural league, with the girls choosing the sides. Though there is some opposition to this plan, because it has not proved too successful in years past, it seems the only logical solution to the intramural problem. • GIRLS DISTRIBUTE MALES •A set-up like this would give £he girls a chance to evenly distribute the male strength among the various teams, and still have the bulk of each team made up mostly of girls. Those interested should let the advisers, Chuck Lappenbusch, Sam Carver, or Miss Virginia Hawke know what the •student opinion is towards such a program.. In any event, the girls have enough material to form a league of their own. So maybe the men can do the cheering for,a while. • ' SHORT SHOTS It is rumored around the campus that Chuck Pomeroy is making plans to continue his education in Tacoma. Seeing the terrific time they had to get him to leave last Saturday night, it's understandable—Looking into the future again, it seems likely that we will have a fair casaba team next year... The hoop squad should be thrilled by the tea being held in their honor Friday at U.B.C. (Tea, toast and custard is their pre-grame menu)— Two more men gone, the odds are getting larger and larger, if a gal hooks a man now she'll be getting a long shot, according to the bookies—Alice Marie Anderson is a poet, as well as one of the best girl athletes in school. She has just turned out a master-piece called, "The Hygiene Class," and her next, according to publicity advances will be titled, "Teaching Swimming."— Talking of swimming, it is the hope of many students that there*-- will be an all-school swimming meet this quarter... A few of our aqua-ducks want a chance at cracking some of those school records. Spring Has Sprung*.... • Tennis and track will have varsity teams this year even though there is little likelihood of finding any competition. Sam, Carver, the track coach, is expecting a few boys to turn out, but believes that there is no likely chance of getting any meets. "The coast conference has abandoned all spring sports except for intramural purposes find the man problem in the rest of the north-, west schools makes it impossible for them to field teams," stated Carver. "I have tried to line up a meet with PLC and a few of the other schools but have had little luck so far," he added. Chuck Lappenbusch has decided to combine his beginning and varsity tennis groups for competitive purposes. "I may be able to work out some type of intramural tennis program with the student interested in tennis in this way," predicted Lappy He continued, "It also will nelp in teaching the classes, as there will. be more^to play and those a little more advanced may be able to help in improving a beginner. There is every slight chance of lining up some meets, but that all hinges on the number turning out for varsity tennis." •'••*: • Tentative plans for a spring sports program have been outlined by the heads of the intramural activities. A softball league with mixed teams has been considered due to the lack of men. Miss Virginia Hawke, girls' adviser, explanied that there would be a girls' competition started first, and if enough girls showed interest. in the game, a mixed league may be tried. "The big trouble," she explained, "is in arousing enough interest to start thq girls' league alone. Then, when they combine with the boys they don't turn out because they are not confident enough in their ability to play ball. "However, if the girls will turn out for a mixed league I believe it would be a fine thing to have in our spring intramural program," added the girls' adviser. Coaches Carver and Lappenbusch believe that if the girls were allowed to pick the teams, and placed the boys in the most essential spots, the teams would be of about the same strength and have the same weaknesses. These instructors would like to. know the opinion of the students to this plan, especially the girls. \ Viks Play UBC • The Western Washington Vikings will meet the University of British Columbia quintet this noon in Vancouver, B. C. A game with the Combines, an independent team in Vancouver, was dropped because of conflicting dates. This game may prove to be the last of the season for the fast improving blue and white squad, although Coach Lappenbusch is endeavoring to line up a few more contests before bringing the season to a close. Two more victories for the home club would give them an even break for their season schedule. Recipe Makes Great Team Why ask the ouija board? It's just plain logic. What? Why, the record for next year's basketball squad. How come? Tell you what I'm going to do. . . . " Let's make out a recipe for next season and theorize as- to the .result cooked up. For a starter, let's shoot in a goodly portion of "Rubber Legs" Wark; after all, he was a starter all year. Then for a base to mold our delicacy around, we ought to use about six feet four inches of "Gunboat Sivertson. With feet like his, he not only makes a good base, but also displaces a lot of floor space. Shortening, is always an integral • part of any concoction, so, we had better shoot in a bit of "Shorty" Witt to fill out the mixture. Although he may be a bit lardy, a touch of impurity won't stop him from going under them, if he can't make it over them. Now to give smoothness to our texture we must impart a bit of "Rabbi" (smooth customer) Foster to the ingredients. (Another way to get smoothness in an ingredient is by whipping or beating it well; but, it is doubtful whether Chuck Pomeroy will be around to do it, if you know what I mean). The last but not least of the essentials for our brow is a bit of spice, which can be taken of merely by dropping in a bit of "Fireball" Ooud. With his pepper and ginger, there should be no lack of tang in the dish. Nevertheless, it v may not be sweet enough for some; therefore, there might be a slight chance of "getting a bit of "Sugar" Ross, if not rationed by the army, or "Ankles" Marshall, if Seattle priorities aren't too great. If the dish is still not palatable by this time, a small dash of "Rab-bitt" Gilday will make it more runny and add a meaty flavor. This may not add the necessary touch, and if it doesn't help we might as well throw' it out in the refuse with Moe and Burklund. All punning aside, and no offense meant, a sunny future is in store for the basketball, fans at WWC, as a goodly number of this years squad are returning next year. With the WRA ... • Blue Barnacles will be hostess to a group of high school girls next Monday at 4 p. m. The High School Splash party should be a huge success since much enthusiasm has been shown toward the event. Refreshments also will be served at this final winter-quarter meeting of Blue Barnacles. And what about the refreshment committee? Seems as if these same three girls —Crystal, Rachel, and Alice-Marie —just love to serve on this committee!! WWC Vikings Swamp CPS Loggers 67-48 By CLARENCE MARSHALL • Overcoming an early College of Puget Sound lead, the WWC Vikings won their second basketball game in three days with an easy 67 to 48 win over the Loggers in Tacoma last Saturday night. The CPS squad, made up entirely of army trainees, jumped into an 8 to 1 lead early in the contest. The lead was shortlived, however, as the Viking quintet, led by Paul Foster, came back strong and, while holding the Loggers to but one point, tallied 18 themselves to take a comfortable 19 to 9 lead at the quarter. Viks Lead 34 to 20 At Half time At this point the first team of Wark, Sivertson, Ludwick, Munizza, and Ross, was inserted into the lineup and they continued to add to the total until the halftime rest with the Vikings leading 34 to 20. Beginning the second half, the blue and white hoopsters, led by Captain Ernie Ludwick, sank baskets from every angle to make 12 points in rapid succession. The Viks slowed down somewhat in the remaining minutes of the third quarter but still managed to in-© crease their lead to 30 points, 53 to 23. Loggers Threaten As the fourth quarter started, five new men entered the game for the Vikings and this was when the Loggers put on their rally. With but four minutes remaining in the game, the army men, led by little Bill Chorney, had cut the Vik's lead to 11 points and trailed 57 to 46. Coach Lappenbusch then started feeding his first stringers back into the game and the total again began to rise with the Vikings holding a 19-point advantage and winning handily, 67 to 48. Captain Ernie Ludwick led the locals with 11 points, but Bill Chorney, the midget speedball for CPS, took scoring honors for the evening with 23 counters.

Apgar Solves Date System • Something new under the moon is Apgar's monthless perpetual calendar on display in the lower hall of the library. If you're one of those forgetful people who have to recite "thirty days have September • april June and november" every time you date a letter, here is the answer to your prayer. Bearing a close resemblance to a logarithm table, Apgar's calendar arranges the days of the year first by quarters—the first, second, third and fourth. Within each quarter the weeks 'are numbered from one to thirteen and the days are laid out likewise with Saturday as number one and Sunday as seven. Being the mathematical brain you should be at this stage of the game, you astound your friends and influence people with dates that sound like a football formation. Asked, for your birthdate (which was October 25 last year) you rattle off 4/4/4, which translated means fourth quarter, the fourth week, and the fourth day of the year. Simple? Of course you are. For people who don't have such a sharp memory of what the number of the week is, the number* of certain holidays can be memorized as a landmark. Apgar has put some of the shifting "holidates" in a groove like the rest. This makes such holidays as Easter come on the same date each year. This calendar may become effective in 1}ie near future so don't put off investigating it. After all, according to Mr. Apgar, our present day calendar, is a mess. Wonder if he's seen the Varga Girl edition? ' Music Hath Charm So They Say . .. • During all the noise from the round card table, arid the battering of the ping pong ball, some similarity to music comes from the nickelodeon. Throughout the scurry and bustle in the student lounge Bob De Pastel, manager, and his hearty friends, while deep in the soul of a bounding game, will surprise any snoopy person with the familiar ridiculing of the Dumkoff language. "Mit a Heil Hitler, whare its dot cart! Hmpf!" Minus the swastika, the 3rd Reich speaking gents carry on a rather amusing conversation to say nothing of the motions that accompany it. Ah, yes, for relaxation there is nothing like a visit to the Student lounge. SEND THE : • " - . ' . • • ; : WWCollegian •.'•V TO '.- '.• SERVICEMEN : ' • " ' . . ' • • •.

BELLINGHAM Scurrying Students Salvage Stuff; Collections Vary • Amidst the hurry and scurry of college life, some students actually find time to devote to hobbies. Now, of course, there are a few who devote no time at all for this. Collecting? Sure that is the main pastime at hobby practice. Mary Jane MacDougall collects baby clothes, and Mary Louise Burke sees fit to collect a variety of "T" shirts; "Loud and flashy" is the motto says M. L.B. And when it comes to licking, it's Doris Bishop pasting all her stamps. Odd, but fascinating, is Elaine Dahlgren's collection of feathers, all colors, shapes, and sizes, mounted in a curious fashion. Shirley Olson has quite a collection of recorded op-epras. \ .For display and entertainment, its the variety of local product in great number. Helen Rabb maintains her hobby, singing, is one in a million. Then to see, (result of hard concentration and practice) Chuck Pomeroy dance and introduce all those fancy ideas, is nothing .short of great entertainment. Pat Gardiner's hobby is toe dancing. It's Paul Foster for display when he shows result of hobby in good fashion; swimming, with lots ,of tricks and stunts, Clarey Marshall has quite a scrapbbok on sports and personal. Gene Sivertson plays basketball for a hobby, and proves this is so because he practices all year around. Then, of course, Murray Goff's photography is quite an attraction. Exercising the key board and fingers, Tom Hillier lobbies his hobby as improvising on the piano. Criss Ackerman, whose aim is to play in a symphony orchestra, faithfully on her flute, producing a hobby that is worth listening to. Greater is the evidence that you ever know when some one is going to show that a hobby can mean most anything they accomplish on the side. Just wait and see. EVERGREEN THEATRES MT.
