Flora Supports Elliott inBookstore Managership Issue It looks as if George Elliott will succeed Ray Knabe to the well-paidbookstore managership upon Knabe's announced retirement at the end of the y e a r - d e s p i t e whatstudent government thinks. President Flora, in a terse memo to the summer Board of Control, saidElliott has been given the "clear understanding" that subject to his good performance as assistantmanager, he is to become manager upon Knabe's retirement. Student government leaders have beendemanding that the Bookstore Board open the p o s i t i o n for competitive recruitment, but the board is holding to its firm belief that student government has nothing t o do with filling the managership. Floraexplained to the BOC that he was "sympathetic" with the desire to open the position for recruiting, butadded: "I am persuaded that the nature of this institution's commitment to Elliott is such that furtherrecruitment at this time could only be a charade or expose us to legal, if not serious moral,consequences." He said the college must not make Elliott "a pawn in the c o n c e r n for appropriateoperations of the Bookstore Board." BOC Chairman Craig Cole said he was disappointed with Flora'smemo and said he would request Flora and Bookstore Board Chairman Howard Mitchell to state theexact n a t u r e of the college's commitment to Elliott. "The Bookstore Board has to realize itsobligation to the AS Legislature and to the college president," Cole said. He called for a completereassessment of the policy procedures for all areas of bookstore operation. In a phone interviewyesterday, Bookstore Board Chairman Howard Mitchell explained that in December 1966 the assistantmanager's position was created to train someone in the area of textbook store management to succeed Ray Knabe when the time came. According to Mitchell, Elliott was chosen, "because he knew ourbusiness, knew our campus, and knew our faculty." The exact nature of the college's commitment toElliott does not matter as both written and oral contracts are legally binding, Mitchell said. M i t c h e l lbelieves the Bookstore Board has fulfilled its obligation to the AS Legislature as they have prepared acompetent assistant manager to replace Knabe.

When completed, the environmental education facility will be used by the public schools, the community colleges and institutions of higher learning in Washington. It will provide opportunities for environmentaleducation for school children, continuing education for adults and in-service and pre-service teacher-training programs. The first structure to be erected at the site on the north end of Whidbey Island wasdesigned and built by four graduate students at the University of Washington with financing coming froma grant from Weyerhauser The building was preassembled at the University and will be broken down intosub-assemblies to be re-erected at the Whidbey site. In working on the station, the students hope tolearn enough about the requirements of a teaching station in an undisturbed natural setting to help themin designing a number of more specialized stations at other locations in the Center. The Whidbey siteoffers a wide variety of environmental types, including bogs, forested areas and salt water shoreline.Subsequent stations to be built in each of these areas will be especially Kingsbury Steps Downdesigned for study of the area in which it is located. In designing Station One, the students wererequired to produce a structure that would blend with its surroundings and not be imposing inappearance. It also had to be built with minimal damage to the area, accommodating recycling ofmaterials as much as possible. Need for adequate lighting, proper acoustics, air circulation, installationof water and electrical systems and waste disposal were also considerations which had to be met by theteam. The resulting station, as planned, is essentially a number of open, lean-to shelters situated arounda central storage unit. The only walls in the structure are two short sections in one corner which serve to darken a portion of the interior so that audio-visual equipment can be used. A portion of the shelter willhave a concrete floor and work tables will be installed. The remainder will have a sloping floor with rows of railroad ties to provide seating for up to 30 people at lectures, seminars or audio-visual presentations.Construction of the building and installation of utilities will be accomplished by students from publicschools, community - colleges, Huxley College and by Youth Corps participants. Their work will provide a learning experience, with emphasis on how to use instructional materials and facilities without disturbing the environment. Harold Philbrick Elected As Board Of Trustee Chairman By LARRY LEMONManaging Editor Burton Kingsbury stepped down as chairman of the Board of Trustees Thursday, andHarold C. Philbrick was elected chairman. Kingsbury, a Bellingham lawyer, retires from the board thisyear after serving as a board member from 1949 to 1957 and 1965 to 1969 and as chairman from 1969 to1971. In June he requested the governor not to reappoint him. He told the board that he thought thegovernor would not have a replacement for him before August. Philbrick, absent from Thursday's boardmeeting, joined the board in 1967 and has been vice-chairman since 1969. Philbrick is vice-president and manager of the Dexter Horton Branch of the Seattle-First National Bank. He received his BA from theUniversity of Washington and an M.BA from the Harvard Graduate School of Business. In the re-shuffleresulting from Kingsbury's retirement, Patrick Confort was named board secretary and RitajeanButterworth was named vice-chairman. Robert W. Winston, Jr., newly appointed trustee, endured his first meeting Thursday. The board made two summer research associate appointments: -Peter Kotzer,lecturer in physics at Western and currently holding a grant from the Research Corporation of America,and -Raymond Dumett, faculty member in the History Department at Purdue University. - Other facultyappointments included Arthur L. Hoisington, associate professor of education; Hyung-Chan Kim, lecturerin education; Thedore A. Mork, associate professor of education; Robert D. Embrey, assistant professorof technology; Ulrich Mammitzsch, assistant professor of general studies; Charles H. Hill, lecturer ineducation; Grant L. Martin, assistant professor of education; Robert H. Pinney, associate professor ofeducation and Dorothy Sue Slaten, lecturer in education. Trustees Told Further Budget Cuts DependUpon Final Fall Enrollment Western's economic outlook for the coming biennium is shaping up to be aphoto-finish between further budget cuts and the total fall quarter enrollment figure. At the ThursdayBoard of Trustees meeting, Business Manager Don Cole told the board that the $2.8 million in budgetcuts had been whittled down to $135,000. He said that eliminating this final amount will depend on howclose Western comes to its projected fall enrollment of 9,450. In his year-end financial presentation, Cole said that a 3.5 per cent reduction in faculty positions had taken place and that 33 non-instructional staffcuts had been made. He said that possible second-year budget cuts would also hinge on the fallenrollment. Last week Registrar William O'Neil said he doubted that Western would reach its targetenrollment. He said the total figure would vpro-bably, be clpsert.o/laf %faftv^M-S \ \ \ ' In spring quarterPresident Charles Flora issued a budget-cut proposal that included extensive " s e c o n d - o r d e r "cuts to specific college departments. At the June 3 Board of Trustees meeting, Flora presented andreceived approval for a second budget-cut proposal that substituted a 10 per cent '"across the board"reduction in all college operations for the specific cuts to college departments. In other action, the boardapproved a plan for minor capital improvements that will include: -replacement of the carpeting in theViking Union Coffee Shop, -remodeling the Viking Union Lounge, -remodeling the dark-room in the Viking Union and -completion of the Viking Union Plaza landscaping. The next meeting of the board will be at2 p.m., Aug. 5. ---------- Western Front - 1971 July 7 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, July 7, 1971 Western Front 3 Summer Stock Bockstogers Prepare For 9 Productions ByMIKE CAVEN Front Reporter Nine theatrical productions will be presented in one month's time atWestern this quarter as the Speech Department presents its first summer stock theatre experience. Twoof these shows are children's theatre adventures. The remainder range from a romping farce to seriousdrama. William A. Gregory of the Speech Department is the artistic head and driving force behind thisgroup of about sixty students. They have been working seven days a week, ten or more hours a day toassemble sets and shows for the first opening, July 15. Dennis Catrell is designing most of the sets withthe aid and assistance of Lee Taylor and Roger Germain, while the costumes design and constructionare under the precise supervision of Don Adams. "The Boy Friend" is the first production which opens on July 15, running through Sunday, the 19th. The Sunday performance is a matinee, at 2:30, while the rest of the shows raise the curtain at 8:15. Gregory is directing this charming musical Broadway hit of the50's. Publicity manager Jim Kjarsgaard feels that "The Boy Friend" will be as artistically successful asthe recent spring quarter hit, "Cabaret." It should prove to be an entertaining night for those who enjoy alight operetta. "Twelfth Night," the Shakespearean comedy of mistaken identities and disguises will bethe next production at the Music Auditorium from July 22 to 25. Dennis Catrell of the Speech Department is directing this production. Gregory will then direct his talents to the nineteenth century melodrama,"Under the Gaslight," running from July 29 to August 1. This production, complete with incidental pianomusic, is not the classic, "No, No a Thousand Times No" bit, but an honest and straight portrayal thatwill leave an audience with a worthwhile impression of this era of American drama that is seldomproduced. The children's theatre production, "Trudi and the Minstrels," follows in Old Main Theatre. It iscomplete with dragons, trolls and an evil queen. Directed by Don Krag, Bellingham High School teacherof drama and a summer graduate student, it should prove an entertaining show for the young children inthe area. "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is the next drama on the varied and interesting list of plays Gregory has selected. This play is an intriguing one which contains the Shakespeareancharacters from Hamlet who appear out of time and sequence, raising comments on the alienation ofman. Luigi Pirandello's classic "Six Characters in Search of an Author," runs from August 5 to 8. It is aplay written before the audience's eyes on stage by six characters. For those who enjoy a unique,rewarding theatrical experience, they are strongly recommended to see Dylan Thomas' "Under MilkWood" running August 16 to 18. The season will close with two productions running simultaneously;"See How They Run," a farce and "Alice in Wonderland." The former runs from August 19 to 22, whileLewis Carroll's adapted fantasy plays August 21 and 22. Summer stock will provide a rich and excitingexperience, not only for the audiences who view the above named productions, but for the sixty somestudents who are enrolled in the program, receiving college credit from diverse courses such asstagecraft and children's drama. They learn not from a textbook but rather from practical laboratoryexperiences. A group of people working, living and studying together to present a cultural happening foreveryone else. It should prove to be a summer of theatrical enjoyment. SUMMER STOCK TICKETSAVAILABLE AT VU DESK ON SEASONAL BASIS. $5 FOR STUDENTS, AND $10 FOR NON-STUDENTS.

' To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Voting Responsibility On Monday President Nixon officially signed the 26th Amendment tothe U.S. Constitution into law. Consequently 11,000,000 nationally, 190,000 state wide and 7,000 newvoters locally will be allowed to vote in all state and national elections. Politicians on all sides will beeyeing this great influx of 18-, 19- and 20-year-old voters with great apprehension. As they well know11,000,000 new voters can drastically change the political lives of many of these politicians. Those ofyou who have received the right to vote, your country has finally given you the chance to voice youropinion and thus work for whatever changes or reforms you think necessary through the ballot box. Soin order to let your ballots speak as loud for you now as your protests and demonstrations have in thepast, you must register and then vote when the time comes. We strongly urge all those students atWestern affected by the new voting law and in fact all Western students who have not as yet registeredto vote to exercise their constitutional rights and either register to vote locally or in their hometown. Toaccomplish this you must meet the residency requirements which include residing one year in the statebefore the election, three months in the county or city, and locally, being registered in your precinct 30days before a primary or election. Locally if you live in Bellingham or a county town, go to the city clerkto register. If you live outside an incorporated area, go to the county auditor's office in the courthouse. In Bellingham you aren't required to provide proof of birthdate, but you will be asked to give informationunder oath that you meet the voter requirements as set forth in the state law. Remember, once you areregistered you will also have the right to seek local elected offices and to sign initiative petitions. Youhave been given the means to bring about change, but it can only be effective if properly USED!! â€”PatBrennen Eliiott Appointment The Bookstore Board has climaxed a year of bumbling inefficiency andprocrastination by fouling up on the appointment of a new bookstore manager to replace Mr. Knabe. Wehave no argument whatsoever with their choice of George Elliott. We are sure that Mr. Elliott has had thenecessary experience and will do a good job. What we object to, and what the entire college community ought to object to, is the high-handed manner in which Mr. Elliott was chosen. I n a 1966 documentconcerning bookstore policy, the board is directed to field recruits for the manager's position and submitany and all applications to the AS Legislature for their review. This the board failed to do, even after it was reminded of its obligation by the AS Legislature. And as far as we are concerned, the buck stops withDr. Howard Mitchell. He is chairman of the board, he should take final responsibility. It is time for Dr.Mitchell.to live up to his obligations. â€”Larry Lemon Photo By JIM McCONNELL today's front FALL IN RECRUITS WANTS TO JOIN YOU! * * * * * * * * * * * * * 676-3160 Western Front the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" Craig Cole Continued The editorial on Craig Colein last week's Front was incorrect.

Dr. Hunt is being presented by the Technologyand Education Departments in conjunction with the Arts Lectures Committee. All interested personsare invited to attend. Student Center Scrapped Plans for a $5 million student activity center were"suspended" at Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting. In a report to the board, Campus Planner HaroldGoltz cited changes in the enrollment projection for the next four years as the primary reason forscrapping the project. Goltz said "changing student enrollment projections (from a previous projection of14,500 students in 1975 to the current uncertain, but lesser number) have drastically changed bothprogram requirements for facilities and our capability of funding." He added that the architect's contracthad been suspended and no work will be done until "the project is reprogrammed and reactivated at some future date." Goltz said last quarter that $30,000 had been sunk into planning for the center at that time. The original plan called for a three-story recreation complex to house 10 bowling alleys, a 500-seat coffee shop, a 4,500-person capacity dance and meeting hall, a two-story bookstore, an Olympic-sizedswimming pool and storage facilities for outdoor field activities. The multi-purpose complex was to havebeen built at the corner of 21st Street and College Parkway and was originally slated for completion by1972. Emergency Loan Fund That boon to the bankrupt student, the emergency loan fund, is alive andprospering at Western, according to a financial report presented at Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting. The emergency loan fund, through which students may borrow up to $25 for one month, is fundedthrough the Blunt-Wilkinson Loan Fund. The loan is managed by the financial aids office, carries a 25-cent service charge and involves a personal interview. Working capital for the loan fund's first year ofoperation was $4,726. From this a total of 888 short-term loans were made, the total dollar value being$41,059. The fund earned $357 in interest and service charges. Huxley College Huxley College will playan ever increasing role as a catalyst for positive ecological action. James R. Newman of the HuxleyCollege faculty predicts. Newman admits that ecological awareness existed at Western and in thesurrounding community before the formation of Huxley as a cluster college of Western in 1968. But hefeels that Huxley, with its abundance of expertise and resources, can give professional direction andassistance to a mushrooming movement. The variety of environments so closely juxtaposed provides theHuxley ecologist with "a great opportunity for practical, local application of universal principles," mentionsNewman. Classes are oriented toward solution of local ecological problems, thus providing thecommunity with much needed guidelines and information. Huxley, along with everybody else, was hurt by the recent budget cut. "But nature is still a big classroom," Newman said. He feels the cluster collegecan continue to develop and grow according to plans. Enrollment should be over 200 students by nextfall. CRISIS CLINIC Former Viet Election Head Against U.S. Ballot Monitors COPYRIGHT DISPATCHNEWSSERVICE I N T E R N A T I O N AL Saigonâ€”The Chairman whose C o n s t i t u e n t Assembly Committee rejected the results of the 1967 Vietnamese Presidential Election has warned that a U.S.congressional delegation would be "useless" in monitoring this year's election unless they talked withthe right people. Nguyen Thanh Vinh, who served as Chairman of the Special Elections Committee in V i e t n a m ' s Constitutional Assembly, said in an interview that such a delegation could learn the truthabout the election, if they talked with him and other members of the Constitutional Assembly. "Weknow all the techniques of rigging elections in Vietnam," he said. Vinh said any delegation sent by theU.S. Congress "should come at least a month before the elections and should have independent means, rather than depending on the government." Vinh's Special Elections Committee was responsible forjudging the validity of the 1967 election results and voted to reject them. The entire Assembly reversedtheir judgment, however, approving the election of President Thieu. Vinh is now Secretary General of the "New People's Party," founded by the former Chief of State Phan Khac Suu before his death last year.The Constituent Assembly gave way to the Senate and Lower House elected in 1967. In an interview,Vinh told of fraud, pressure and last minute massive bribery by the Vietnamese military in order toinsure the election of the Thieu-Ky slate in 1967. Bribery, he said, was necessary to obtain thenecessary majority in the full assembly for approval of the results, which was still lacking as late as twohours before the final vote. As Chairman of the Special Committee on Elections, Vinh had theresponsibility for both controlling and validating elections results. But he said his job was made moredifficult if not impossible by the refusal of province chiefs to provide security for members of theCommittee and other observers working for the Committee to travel in their provinces. Despite the factthat all but four of the twenty members of his committee had previously been pro-government, according to Vinh, the evidence of fraud was so strong that the Committee voted unanimously, with one membernot voting, to reject the election results as invalid. Vinh said there were three major kinds of evidence ofvote fraud: *In three or four specific instances of his own personal knowledge, those charged withcertifying the results from a particular polling place told him they had been forced to sign the validationpapers the day before the voting. * Official results from many different polling places in the sameprovince bear the same handwriting, although they were supposed to have been filled out by the localofficial. *In three successive days, while election results were still coming into Saigon, leadingopposition slates lost votes, while the Thieu-Ky slate gained votes. After Vinh's Committee had voted torefuse validation to Thieu's victory, he said, the government brought pressure on the entire ConstituentAssembly, using both threat and bribery. "One form of pressure used was the threat to draft sons," herecalled, "and any members who voted with the government had sons released from service afterward."But the most important government instrument for obtaining the Assembly's approval of the results, hesaid, was bribery. He himself was offered ten million piasters to approve the election results d u r i n gthe committee's deliberation. On the evening of the final vote in the Assembly, he said, the governmentstill lacked twenty votes for a majority. During the last two hours, he said, checks were distributed torepresentatives and large payments were promised after the voting. Chairmen of the various blocs in theAssembly received one million piasters each for voting with the government, while other representativesreceived ranging from 200 thousand piasters on up, he said. The final vote was 58 to 43. When the votewas announced, the Lower House Speaker, former Chief of State Phan Khac Suu, immediately resigned from the Assembly in protest. "When I returned to the Assembly the following morning with a friend, Iopened the door to one of the offices and saw Mrs. Tran Thi Xa (a pro-government leader in theAssembly) dividing up the m o n e y a m o n g the representatives," Vinh said. Vinh said the idea of aU.S. Congressional delegation to observe and report on the Presidential election could be useful, butonly if the group proceeded without the assistance of either the U.S. or Vietnamese governments. Hewarned that the techniques used by President Thieu to rig the election this year "may be even betterthan they were in 1967." RECORD ALBUMS Now $1.98 Textbook Dept.

' The newvehicles include two 1971 half-ton Dodge pickup trucks and a 1971 American Motors Matador four-doorsedan. They were ordered six months ago, and the department took delivery of them last month.Security Director Robert Peterson said the new vehicles will give his department greater mobility andeffectiveness. The $6,500 worth of vehicles are a much needed addition to the Security Department's oldfleet of vehicles which included two three-wheel scooters and some trucks loaned to them by theGrounds Department, according to Peterson. He termed his old fleet of vehicles "as inefficient as couldbe," because "we couldn't transport anybody or anything in them." Each of the new vehicles is equippedwith fire extinguishers, first-aid kits and blankets, two-way radios and a set of red blinkers on the roof tohelp identify the vehicles. Peterson said that the vehicles' bright red appearance and their presence oncampus is in itself a very good deterrent against incidents on campus. "There really isn't any way tomeasure the number of incidents these vehicles have prevented," he pointed out. "Just their being hereon campus and being visible is a big help." To accomplish this presence and visibility Peterson said thethree vehicles are on continuous patrol around the campus from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. every day. They aredriven by campus marshalls and student patrolmen while making their rounds. Peterson pointed out. thatthe appearance of the vehicles makes it easier for students and visitors who need assistance to quicklyspot a security vehicle. "With our old fleet, all the vehicles looked the same as those being used byother departments on campus," he explained. "Now you know a security vehicle when you see one."Peterson added that he would like to see at least one of the new trucks equipped with heavy-dutyfirefighting equipment. He indicated that he has asked for enough money in his last budget request toequip a truck with a 100-gallon tank pumper, 100 feet of fire hose and a three-way nozzle. He explainedthat the Georgia-Pacific plant has some small trucks equipped like this which have worked out very well. "A truck equipped like this would mean that we could handle small fires on campus without having to call the Bellingham Fire Department," he said. "After all, we do have a fire marshall on campus who couldhandle the training of my men as firefighters." In other Security Department news, Peterson said hisoffice is planning to hire four additional classified patrolmen to patrol in and around the residence halls.He explained that the new men would be trained by the Security Department but would actually befunded by the housing office. They would be trained to work specifically around the residence halls andwould be doing the same type of job as the resident aides had been doing. Since the resident-aide jobhas been changed from that of rule enforcer and counselor to that of counselor only, the new patrolmenwill be used to help prevent thefts from the residence halls. Peterson emphasized that the newresidence-hall patrolmen will not portray the regular policeman-type image. Rather it is planned that theywill play down the image by wearing civilian-type blazers and slacks. "What we plan is that these menwill be patrolling the same residence hall areas regularly, getting to know the students in that area,something along the same lines as the old neighborhood cop did years ago." "We hope that he willbecome a sort of father f i g u r e , b a c k f e n c e c o u n s e l o r and all-around-good-joe rolled into one and not an authoritarian-type figure to the students." Peterson said because of the nature of the newpatrolmen's job, that of aiding and protecting the residence hall residents, he doesn't foresee any studentresentment of the patrolmen. "Heck, they are going to be working for the students, not against them," hepointed out. Regarding summer quarter, Peterson said that things are a little less hectic than usual forhis office. He explained he believes this is because the average summer quarter student is, "a littlequieter than students here the rest of the year. "I think this is because there are so many fifth-year andmasters-studies people here summer quarter," he explained. "Anyway we like summer quarter because it gives us a chance to get caught up on our work." Grotto Being Remodeled In Attempt to Improve Image The Grotto is in for eight new pool tables as well as changes in managing and remodeling said WallySigmar, the present manager of Western's recreational room. The shuffle board and ping pong table willbe moved out and the four tables now in use will be auctioned off between the end of summer quarterand the beginning of fall quarter, when the remodeling will be done, Sigmar added. In an attempt to makethe Grotto available to the whole college community and to introduce people to the recreational facilitiesthree nights a week are set aside as special nights. Although the price of pool has been raised to $1 anhour and ping pong to 35 cents an hour, instruction will be available on the special nights. Tuesday nights from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. "children and young people are encouraged to play pool," said Sigmar. Tuesdaynight is set aside for children of students or professors and an instructor will be on hand to lend any help n e e d e d . . . . . . s . . â€¢ ' . . . . . . Wednesday is couples night between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thisnight is set aside for dates as some people may be hesitant about bringing a girl who is not anexperienced pool player. Women's night is Thursday night between 7 and 10 p.m. No men will be allowed to play pool during these hours on Thursday night. The change in managing the Grotto came aboutbecause, Sigmar said, "Originally the AS was in charge and although some money was made it was aselective thing and the tables and room deteriorated." Last year the AS legislature turned the Grotto over to the Viking Union Staff under the direction of Jack Smith. Sigmar thinks the Grotto is not getting theuse it should and also has an image of being poorly managed and undesirable. "We are hoping to change that image," Sigmar said. The remodeling plans include painting the walls and ceiling, moving out theseldom used shuffle board, covering the floor and moving the ping pong tables to another room to makeway for the eight new tables which will be the -roll down style instead of pocket style. ---------- Western Front - 1971 July 7 - Page 7 ---------- Mayor Candidate Burns To Launch Voter Drive Wednesday, July 7, 1971 Western Front 7 Jerry Burns, a 32-year old part-time Fair haven College lecturer and announced candidate for mayor of Bellingham, islaunching a voter registration drive next week in an effort to corner a hunk of the new crowd of 18-21 year old voters. Burns said his campaign drive is aimed at the young and old in Bellingham who "needstronger representation" in municipal government. Tom Brose, Burns' campaign manager and lecturer atFairhaven also, will spearhead the voter registration campaign. Brose said Burns has "an excellentchance" at winning the city mayoral contest against incumbent Reg Williams if a significant number ofpreviously ineligible young voters register and cast ballots in the September election. Voter registrationprocedures are outlined elsewhere in this issue. * * 6, YOUTH FARES TO EUROPE \ GO ANYTIME - STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT - RETURN ANYTIME - WITH CONFIRMED RESERVATIONS HIM***T, .

Western's returningstudents, married and with families, have been housed in Birnam Wood and Highland Hall because of the convenience and proximity to campus. According to Birnam Wood's resident director, Sonia Stern,there are about 72 apartments occupied by couples and families. The only problems so far have beenfrom one group of undergraduates who didn't appreciate the children playing around the area. HighlandHall houses mainly couples, but a few families have chosen the dormitory-styled living. Two majorprograms, the National Science Foundation Math Institute and the National Science Foundation EarthSciences Institute, have attracted people from across the nation. These are federally funded projectsdesigned to educate teachers past the usual four years in hopes that it will pay off in the education theirstudents get. According to John McGuire; of Charlotte, Michigan, the switch from teacher back tostudent is the "best thing that can happen to some of us cats." McGuire is working with the GeologyInstitute. /Of all the summer students interviewed by the Front, none were dissatisfied with the livingconditions, except for a few mothers worried about their children wandering down the street where thetraffic is fairly steady. Western is providing a children's activity program to take the pressure oft theparents for at least a few hours a week. The Women's Physical Education Department has set upswimming lessons twice a week, gymnastics classes, dance classes and a dramatic workshop forchildren seven years and older. ..''.. Many of the returning teachers have children under seven years andTom Griffith from Aurora, Illinois, suggested a day-care center be set up to give the mothers a breatheroccasionally. Along with other families, the Griffiths have taken advantage of the tremendous recreational facilities in the area, including trips to Larrabee State Park, Mt. Baker, Anacortes and Cherry Point. Forsome, this is the second year at Western and a few have even gotten into some of the local activities.Don Lund .from Richfield, Minnesota, has enrolled his son in the Little League program. HowardHannaway and his wife are both working on their fifth year and enjoying the convenience of living inHighland Hall. "It's really great to live in the dorm and there is less hassle with cooking and cleaning,"said Hannaway who teaches in Poulsbo near Seattle. Working on his Physical Education mastersdegree, Wayne Coleman thinks that Saga tood is "one of the better food programs around." Coleman and his wife are frequent summer students and like the dorm because of the limited responsibilities ofcooking and cleaning. Most of the couples in the dorm like the college community and the informality aswell as being able to meet people living around them. Because of the lack of advertisement, most of thereturning teachers haven't been taking in the college activities such as the weekly movies and theupcoming plays. It seems that the children are enjoying themselves as much as anyone this summer.According to Carl Katzenberger's son Mike, the abundance of large slugs not found in South Dakota hasmade the trip worthwhile. $1 PITCHERS PONY KEGS 3 POOL TABLES COLOR T.V.

The two-phase remodeling involves the two southwest wings of the building ( t h e side facing the Humanities building) and the north wing at the opposite end of the building. The firstphase deals with only the southwest wings; President Charles Flora pointed out that no money has been appropriated for the north-wing second phase. Bartholick said that construction bids will be acceptedNov. 15 to Dec. 15 and that construction will probably begin in February, 1972, at an estimated cost of$1.4 million. He said first-phase renovation should be completed by December, 1972. Discussioncentered on financing of the project and possible alterations to the renovation plans that might be needed should adequate funds not be available. Campus Planner Harold Goltz explained to the board thatbecause of a mistake made at the state government level, Western did not receive the expectedallotment for the project. Goltz said that funding is presently 20 per cent short of the estimated cost ofconstruction. He then suggested alterations that could be made to the renovation plans should thecollege be unable to transfer money from other sectors of the budget to the project. Bartholick said thatchanges to the two wings would be primarily internal with the exception of a new outside entrance toLecture Hall Two that would be combined with a covered walkway along the south side of the building. A key factor in the renovation project is adherance to state and local safety provisions involving installation of a better ventilation system and improved access to the building to satisfy fire regulations. MikeBarnhart, administrative assistant to the president, prefaced the renovation discussion with a brief history of the building and its poor safety inspection record. He said that in 1966 the state fire marshall judgedthe building to be "in very serious condition" and in need of additional and more adequate stairways andfire exits. He added that in 1968 it was thought that in the event of a major S O U T H END O L D M A I N , I 9 4 0 's earthquake, the entire building might collapse. The center section of Old Main was built in1895 at a cost of $54,000 (Bartholick estimated that it would cost at least $1 million to duplicate thestructure today). The southwest wing was added in 1901, the southeast wing in 1907 and the north wingin 1913. Canoeing, Sailing Class Taught at Lake Whatcom By LYN WATTS Outdoor Editor At a timewhen Western's physical,education activities seem generally to be suffering from a lack of studentparticipation or interest, one physical education class stands out as an obvious exception. PhysicalEducation 160, Canoeing and Sailing, from its inception a few years back has never had any trouble withenrollment figures. The registrar's office reports that the class is consistently one of the first filled duringregistration. What is it that makes this class so popular? We journeyed out to Lakewood, Western'srecreational facility on Lake Whatcom and home of the Viking Yacht Club, to get a first-hand look at thePE 160 class in session. Lakewood lends the class an outdoorish, almost backwoods atmosphere onlyoccasionally ruffled by a speedboat roaring by the dock or a plane taking off from Sudden Valley'spainfully obvious runway which borders Lakeway on the south. The class members vary greatly in theirexperience; some are obviously seasoned veterans with many an hour on the water, others nervouslyawait their first venture onto the water in an unsteady canoe or one of Lakewood's nine sailboats. Thecanoeing section of the class is taught by Mrs. Elizabeth (Pinky) Moore of the Physical EducationDepartment; the sailing section by members of the Viking Yacht Club. For the first part of the quarter, the classes will work half a day on sailing and then half a day on canoeing. As they become more proficient, they will spend a whole day on each activity, alternating every class meeting. The carfoeist spendsmost of his time close to shore, observing Mrs. Moore's use of the J and C s t r o k e s , and thenpracticing the strokes themselves. Knees soon cramp up from continual kneeling, arms become sorefrom paddling and feet soaked from wading, but few frowns ever appear. Occasionally, a badly timedmovement in paddling or changing positions in the canoe will be enough to tumble the canoe over,pitching both occupants into Lake Whatcom, but then again on a hot summer day a flipped canoe isoften done on purpose. Later in this quarter, after the canoeist is well versed in the art of handling hisboat, Mrs. Moore will have the class members flip a canoe intentionally, and then attempt to right it andpaddle back to shore. Although this maneuver is a serious lesson in recovery and rescue technique, itseems to always turn out to be more fun than work. Perhaps the most enjoyment a student will get from160, however, is the day when it's his turn to go sailing. The first few days of sailing instruction are spent on the dock, learning to tie sailing knots and practicing outfitting a sailboat in the proper manner. Themembers of the Yacht Club who provide the instruction are all students, and often it is impossible todistinguish the instructors from the students. The instructors' enthusiasm for sailing is contagious, andmost of the students are inflicted with a love for sailing before the course is over. For the first few weeks,each student goes out with a skipper, learning through experience such nautical terms as tacking,beating, hiking and righting a boat after it's gone over. The student practices both crewing and skippering, ranging all over the lake with an ease and excitement lacking in the canoe. Those students who areobviously experienced in small sailboat handling and those who learn quickly soon are given theopportunity to take the boats out with another class member as crew and no instructor. However, theYacht Club skippers keep the Boston Whaler rescue boat ready for all emergencies. Members of theclass, after successfully completing the quarter, can take the Yacht Club test and be admitted into itsranks as full skippers if they pass. This allows them to take the boats out as often as they wish,whenever they want. For those who couldn't enroll for the class and wish to take either sailing or canoeinstruction, the Yacht Club offers free instruction every Saturday, with rides leaving at 9 a.m. from in frontof the Viking Union. Huxley Outdoor Class Deals With Contemporary Ecological Problems James R.Newman, assistant professor at Huxley College, thinks Huxley's outdoor class program holds manyopportunities for practical application here in Whatcom County and the Bellingham area. He requiresstudents of his summer term class, "Ecological Awareness," to choose an issue and examine it inecological terms as it effects the local area. The influence of fluoride pollution in the area makes for agood example. By emphasizing the natural application of principles, as opposed to straight theory,Newman feels, "that the students come away from the course with a much more realistic approach toenvironmental problems." "When they, develop their system of analysis and then apply it to a local, real-life situation, they understand its good points as well as its limitations," Newman said. Techniques ofgood field methodology are soon acquired. Newman said, "They learn how to get the information and useit. "Obviously, class efforts are not solely academic pursuit, but an attempt to come to grips withcontemporary ecological problems affecting us all." B a c k - t o - s c h o o l t e a c h e r s composeapproximately two-thirds of Newman's class this summer. He states that the national scope of classcomposition is increasing, indicating the growing reputation of Huxley College. Youth Activities Set ForSummer If you are worried about your sanity and your child's constant "there's nothing to do," why notenroll him in Western's Children's Activity Program. The Women's Physical Education Department isoffering the program for children ages 7-12. The gymnastics activity includes creative movement, basictumbling and work with small and large equipment. The games and sports portion of the program teachesskills with recreational games and encourages children to invent games. Children work in rhythm, musicand expressive movement in the creative movement and dance activity. Swimming and life-saving classesare also offered. Dr Chappelle Arnett. associate professor of women's physical education, said she isextremely pleased with the success of this first-year attempt. The classes are full, she said, but newclasses are forming all the time. She hopes to include pre-schoolers into the program later this summer. Undergraduate and graduate physical education students lead the classes of 20 children, and the kidshave considerable space and excellent equipment to work with in Carver Gymnasium. Give your kid abreak, send him up to the campus this summer. For additional information, call 676-3055.

G. Peterson and Tenants' Union Chairman Pete White discussed thetwo-hour parking imposition before an audience of only 20 persons. According to Peterson, there is stilladequate parking available for students and faculty in lots provided by the college near the campus.There are still 420 spaces left in two lots located near College Parkway and 21 St. which sell for $8 and$18 per quarter. Peterson said these lots cost as little as ten cents per day. "I can't understand whysome students and faculty pass up 420 parking spaces only five minutes' walk from their classes andpark on city streets ten minutes from their classes just to save a dime a day," he said. City trafficsuperintendent Tow cited the unavailability of off-street parking for area tenants as another part of theproblem. Goltz,and Tow agreed that landlords who rent multiple dwellings should be " f o r c e d " toprovide off-street parking for their tenants. "A good share of the cars are on the streets for storage .purposes," Chief Klein said. Klein said that the two-hour parking imposition was alleviating some of theproblem. He said citations averaged about 40 per day this week compared to 75 to 80 per day when therestriction was first enforced. White was asked if the Tenants' Union could refuse to approve housingthat did not provide off-street parking for tenants. White said the system of college-approved housing was dropped last year in favor of an inspection and listing service. He said there was no way, other thancondemnation procedures, to force landlords to provide parking. Tow pointed out that buildings wererequired to have a certain ratio of parking per tenant, but that a "grandfather clause" exempted dwellingsbuilt before 1968. Most of the dwellings within the parking restrictions fall into this category, he said.ilitary Offers Course in Defense, Disaster (DNS) Hurry, hurry, hurry, register now for the IndustrialDefense and Disaster Planning for Privately Owned and Operated Facilities Course to be given gt; at the Army Military Police School at Fort Gordon, Georgia.

World Reactions ( C P S - C U P ) - R e a c t i o n s and repercussions of the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) kidnappings continue in Quebec, Canada and around theworld. The three biggest Quebec trade u n i o n s - t h e Confederation of National Trade Unions, theQuebec Federation of Labour and the Quebec Teachers Corporation-will hold a joint plenary session oftheir groups, probably joined by the Parti Quebecois (PQ), to discuss further action to protest Ottawa'sactions in imposing the Wartime Measures Act (WMA) and Quebec's acquiescence to the federalpower. To date, combined municipal, provincial and federal police forces in Montreal have rounded up343 people and carried out 1,627 raids. Raids are not being made outside Quebec, as best as anyonecan tell in Ottawa. The arrested are being held incommunicado and police will not specify how long thatwill continue. Thus, it is unknown exactly how many .. people have really been arrested or have goneunderground. The common front to be formed by the unions and the PQ will probably set up a lawyer'scommittee to deal with this matter. A group of Quebecois studying in Paris occupied part of the Canada House Saturday in sympathy with the demands of the FLQ, and left early Tuesday morning after beingwarned that police would be called in if they did not. Also, in Paris, Claude St. Denis, director ofMontreal's Theatre de Mime, cancelled the troupe's performance Monday night in sympathy with thestudent occupation. While the press in France has been unanimous in condemning "Quebec e x t r e m i s t s , " explanatory notes describe the French minority in Canada as people tied to France by history, language and culture, but who play a second-class role to the English-speaking population. N i x o nhas termed the Laporte-Crbss kidnappings as part of an "international disease." "No cause justifiesviolence," he said, obviously not referring to the War in Vietnam. He added he had been in touch withPrime Minister Trudeau to offer his government's support of Ottawa's tough line. The University ofOttawa's students federation modified its strong anti-government stand Monday and is now calling forcooperation with Montreal police to prevent abuses of the WMA. The Council had previously come outwith a statement condemning the FLQ but planing the major blame for the crisis on the government andthe police. That statement caused consternation among segments of the student population of theUniversity, which is both French and English, and led federation President Hugh Segal to threaten toresign. An estimated 1,500 demonstrated Monday in Toronto supporting Ottawa's invocation of theWMA, and a united Canada. The demonstrators were mainly York University students. Rally organizerSteve Harris urged . s t u d e n t s to "rise all collectively," to back the government in avoiding any future"political nightmare." Although the crowd was largely pro-government, most of the invited faculty werenot. History professor Ramsay Cook warned against an "excessively emotional and highly repressive"reaction to recent events, and appealed to students to understand "the social and economic injusticessuffered by the Quebec people." A meeting held at Macmaster University in Hamilton of about 1,000students was marked by verbal scuffles between increasingly polarized pro-and anti-government By LYNWATTS Drawing 29 per cent of the 1,486 ballots cast, Les Savitch nosed out his nearest opponents towin the primary election for AS President and became the favored candidate for next Wendesday's finalelection. Steve Cooper, who trailed Savitch with 27 per cent of the ballots cast, and Bert Halprin with 24per cent, both gained positions on the final election ballot. Doug Clark received 19 per cent, but needed20 per cent to be placed on the ballot. Only two candidates will vie for the Vice-Presidency, Gary Evansand Gary Sharp. Evans grabbed 41 per cent of the ballots cast, while Sharp had 24 per cent. Jim Blizard and Allen Stowers failed to meet the required 20 per cent of the ballots cast, and were dropped with 19and 15 per cent resepectively. All nine legislature candidates will be placed on the ballot Wednesday. In the primary, Doug Baker, Mary Watts and John McDonnell were the top vote getters. Five of the ninecandidates will be selected in the final vote.

No student press coverage was invited, despite the factthat only a few weeks ago the President's Commission on Campus Unrest had issued a report calling for increased dialogue between student and government leaders. Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler wasquestioned by CPS as to the reasons why no 'student press organization had received an invitation. Mr.Ziegler answered "What, for today? We've met with students before." He was then asked whether thefact that no student press had been invited was an indication of how much weight the Commission'sreport had wtih the President. "Not at all," came the answer, "we've had talks with students before." â€¢" â€¢ ^ â€¢ - â€¢ " - " â€¢ " â€¢ ^ Shoblom "â„¢ Deaf Theater: Tickets Shorf, Demand Long Tickets arein short supply for the National Theater of the Deaf performance Nov. 4. "We already have reservationrequests from Vancouver and Seattle," Ruth Melone, assistant director of the department of c o n t i n u i n g s t u d i e s said. The 15-member company's 1970-71 season plays are an adaptation of GeorgBuchner's "Woyzeck" and a collection of children's writings, "Journeys." The new theatrical form to beused in the plays was launched in 1967 by the Eugene O'Neill Memorial Theater Center, Waterford,Conn.

Thecompany has made six national tours, two European and Asian tours, three films, two Broadway runsand numerous television appearances. factions. About 300 engineering and science students heckledanti-WMA speakers and threw leftovers from their lunches onto the stage. In Toronto the undergroundpaper Harbinger is coming up against censorship. It cannot find a printer willing to handle its copy onQuebec. Student papers in the maritime provinces are having similar difficulties. The Canadian CivilLiberties Association (CCLA) has demanded "facts, not faith" to justify the imposition of the WMA. TheCCLA in a brief sent to Trudeau Monday called on the government's foundation for a "hard line," or torevoke the measures. If the measures were then deemed warranted, the CCLA demanded they belimited by time, place and substance to the current crisis, with the government issuing a cautionary note to police agencies to confine their activities to the intended targets of the regulations. In addition, people held under the act should be provided with legal counsel and access to their families, said CCLA. ---------- Western Front - 1970 October 30 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, October 30, 1970 Western Front Canada Ousts Americans (CPS)-Despite reassurances fromPrime Minister Pierre Trudeau to the contrary, police are using the War Measures Act to deportAmericans seeking political-asylum in Canada. George Harrington, an American citizen living in Toronto, was arrested by police here Wednesday under the Act and was told he would be extradicted to theUnited States, where he would face charges resulting out of last May's protest at Kent State Universityagainst the American invasion of Cambodia. Harrington was living at Kent State as a non-student whenfour students were -.killed by national guardsmen. He % d to .Canada last month after ri*ree.eivihg"asubpoena from state authorities. "And ever since, Canadian and American police have been following me from Vancouver to Toronto," Harrington said. Two Toronto police picked up Harrington at a boutique inYorkville Village (a favorite hangout) and arrested'him on a charge of assault and battery, thechargeâ€”an excuse to get Harrington down to the stationâ€”was dropped as soon as he arrived. "When I asked what I was being charged with, a cop told me that under the War Measures Act he didn't haveto tell me anything," Harrington said. "The cop then said, 'We don't like Americans:1 " Harrington saidwhen he. asked to call his attorney the policeman replied: "You call your attorney and I'll kick your ballsright up your throat." " I looked at him," said Harrington, "and he was ready to do it." Police releasedHarrington and told him he would be extradicted as soon as possible. "But since then, I've been followedeverywhere I've gone. My sister-in-law has also been watched. And there's been a cop car outside of myapartment all the t i m e . " Police broke into and ransacked the apartment of Harrington's girl friend,Carol Grafton. They told neighbors they â€¢were looking for a member of the FLQ. On the advice of hislawyer and friends and parents in the United States, Harrington flew out of Toronto Wednesday night toreturn to Ohio before he could be extradicted. "The police will be waiting for me at Cleveland Hopkinsairport," he said. "They'll know, because all my friends' phones are tapped in the U.S." "If I stayed here,they'd try to throw me in jail here, and then again in the States. I might as well just eliminate one stage.My main objective is to get political asylum in Canada, but that's impossible now." Harrington is charged back in Ohio on nine counts: first degree riot, outside agitation, intention to incite a riot, inciting a riot,arson,- obstruction of justice, assaulting a police officer, assaulting a fireman, a n d illegal flight to avoidprosecution. Eleven students are already in jail on charges arising from the protest at Kent StateUniversity and 14 more are being sought. Although a federal grand jury, a presidential commission, andthe FBI have found the national guard guilty of murder, the state authorities have found them innocentand are charging students and professors instead. Housing Survey The AS Housing Commission istaking a survey to determine the present condition of student housing in Bellingham. CommissionerCraig Cole said that questionnaires will be sent to off-campus students, the results of which will providea basis and direction for future Housing Commission activities. "We need some basic information before we can develop future programs to deal with problems in housing that many students are experiencing," he said. The q u e s t i o n n a i r e seeks information such as the location of each student's rental unit,the type of rental, number of persons living in unit, number of bedrooms, type of payment and cost ofrent and damage deposit.

These aretwo of the views expressed by community people at a tense meeting held Wednesday night at theAmerican Legion Hall. The meeting was designed to bring students and the community together. Thediscussion began with a panel g i v i n g their viewpoint as representative of certain elements of thecommunity and the college. Audience participation was the aim of the meeting. The panel memberswere C. W. (Bill) McDonald, Dean of Students; Curt Smitch, student; Senator Frank Atwood; FrankBrooks, "lumber entrepreneur;" Thomas A. Walstrom, a representative of the Bonneville poweradministration; Bert Halprin, student; and Brian L. Griffin, business representative. The moderator wasLarry DeLorme, history professor. Members of the panel gave a brief resume of their opinions. Theyranged from pessimism on the part of the students at the lack of communication, to students' lack ofdiscipline and wisdom on the part of the community representatives. Student action was the majorsubject of the evening. Several Bellinghamites felt student bombing should be severely punished.Halprin, spokesman for campus radicals on the panel, stated that more bombs are dropped in Vietnamin one day than the number _of radical-left bombings. Halprin said, "Those responsible for the Vietnambombings should also be severely punished." A WW II vet said the students had no right"- to complainabout the war because they had never fought. An ex-green beret countered that he had been to Vietnambut still fielt the war was wrong. Racism was brought up when a Chicano student stated "That panel isracist because there are no blacks or browns on it." An emotional discussion on racism ensued. Muchof the evening was spent arguing. The meeting ended on an upward note when many people signed up to meet in small groups in private homes. The concensus was that these smaller meetings would bringabout more understanding than large group meetings. IE Looking for the Great Pumpkin? See pgJ*lEnvironmental Problem: 'Crisis of Sanity' By JIM DIEDRICK The world is experiencing a "crisis ofsanity," according to Frank Herbert, Seattle Post Intelligencer education writer. A s s e s s i n g the c u r r e nt environmental dilemma, Herbert called for a "return to- human origins." Herbert, speaking to a fullhouse in the VU Lounge Tuesday, called the crisis an inability to accept our human mortality. We' live a day-to-day existence and don't" consider the consequences of our actions; he said. He attacked thefollowing approaches to the problem: - T h e scape-goat syndrome: blaming our troubles on pastgenerations. -The doomsday view: there are no solutions, we can only await the apocalypse. - T h epooh-pooh view:- the problem isn't serious enough to concern us. -Socio-economic affirmation: placingthe blame on the system, i.e., capitalism. - O n e solution view: Zero Population Growth (ZPG) is theonly answer. -Technological view: scientists, "the gods of our civilization," will find the solutions.Herbert said that ZPG is a big part of the solution, but not the only part. He said the other approachesare escapist. He c o n c l u d e d that an "understanding of consequences" is needed, a realization ofthe relationship of all things. Herbert was sponsored by the Student Environmental Action Center(SEAC) as part of a three-day symposium on population. Seeks Answers By BOB MCLAUCHLAN OnWednesday night three panelists discussed the political side of the environmental problem. Mr. _ Robert Keller, originator of Initiative 256 told an audience of about 75 that the real issue of 256 is not recyclingbottles and cans, but what citizens want to do to reform our society. He~ said that his group sepnt$5,000 while the opposition spent at least $75,000 last week alone on Advertising. "When you do nothave the money, you have got to find other ways to get across to people," he said. Dr. Caswell Farr, aState Representative, said'legislative action initiated by individuals alone is not the answer. "It has to bea combination of several groups," he said. In being questioned about the good of an initiative and theeffect it has on the legislature, Farr said that the process can change Legislators opinions who even hecould not change. Mr. David Clarke, political science department chairman, said it is important forpeople to look ahead and predict what will happen to the environment. "The economic and politicalsolution to the problem lies not in what we do, but in what we stop doing," he said.

Here's why: * After three Moratoriums and a freeway sit-in, anew anti-war group on campus has failed to rally support for a march on the Federal Building downtownfor tomorrow, even though the Indo-China War is far from finished. * City cops are going out of their wayto strictly enforce the two-hour parking limit recently slapped on streets near campus, but no one seemsinterested in a park-in demonstration to protest. * Major Election Day issues of significant student interest are in hot water, including the 19-year-old vote and abortion reform, but only a sprinkling of collegians are actively campaigning for their passage. Tomorrow's anti-war demonstrations, which are slated for morethan thirty cities in the nation, will provide an accurate barometer to indicate whether or not this "laidback" trend is localized.

The students have a stake in their government.Tuesday, they should protect that stake. All right, so you're not 21. What can you do? You can indicateyour interest and concern in the election by discussing the issues with friends and relatives who canvote. Show them 19 year olds deserve voting rights. Show them that you're concerned with the issues.In short, show the voters that you believe changes can come about by working with the system, ratherthan against it. If you can vote, do it. The ballot is mightier than the bullet or the bomb. By Hard Drugsin B'ham Frank and Jodi Trantner This letter's been a long time comin'. It's been put off and put off. Buttoday it's come. I'm like most of you laid back folks here in B'ham by the Bay. Unless somebody actually walks up to me and sticks a knife to my throat I'll just lay back and dig what's left of our shelteredcommunity. But today somebody did stick a knife to not only my throat but all of our collective throats. A big time, big city, hip freak from Seattle tried to push some cocaine on my old lady. Yes sir folks,B'ham's hit the big time just like Haight Ashbury did in '68 and the U District in Seattle has. Hard drugs(i.e. cocaine, heroin) are creeping into our environment like a cancer. Like a â€¢cancerous tumor, theywill drag down their victimâ€”our environment I'm talking aboutâ€”and eat out its insides until it's dead.Yes folks, DEAD. Dead like Haight Ashbury and dying like the U District. Remember back in '65 howmany far out things were happening in Haight Ashbury? I mean like it was a colorful, happy, gay place full of good people and good relations. Sure, many felt paranoid. Fear of the authorities and the pressuresthey brought. But man it wasn't the authorities who brought it all down. The fall of the Haight started when some big time super hip freak laid down some hard drugs on the scene. A few people got hooked,yeahâ€”hooked, like physically addicted. To maintain this, they had to sell their trip to some other cat. Alot of 'em took to rippin' off their friends to score that balloon of dreams held by the pusher man. A lot ofpeople got sick from dirty needles, a lot died from impure fixes and a lot even croaked. Like a cancer, itspread. Been to the Haight lately? Seen all the barred and boarded up windows? Seen the cops walkin' in twos on both sides of the street? Seen all the shit layin' in the streets, including a few of those superhip freaks? If not, stop there your next time down in the land of Reagan. It'll nauseate you. Or better yet,ask an immigrant to B'ham from the Haight what came down and just what forced him to split. There's a99.9% probability that he'll tell it was because of hard drugs arid the ugliness they bring. Right now the UDistrict is doing the same trip. It's ugly, but don't take my word. It's only 90 miles south. Stick out yourthumb and go see for yourself. Look up the super increase of crimes in that area. Look to see when thatincrease started. Ask a few of the locals when hard drugs were first introduced. See if those datescorrespond. Guess how long before it all comes down around them. Ask an immigrant to B'ham from theU District why he left. And now its happening here. In B'ham and at Western. Do you want it? I mean,like do you want to sit around digging this beautiful niche of the world and to permit someone else to laytheir cancerous trip on you? If not, do something. What? How 'bout education. Like inform yourself, yourbrothers and sisters on the ugly environment brought in with hard drugs. But most of all, seek out andinform the pusher man. My old lady did some educating of the pusher man she met. She laid it on him.It blew his mind, "Shit, it's all over Seattle. You mean you can't dig it here in B'ham?" My old lady replied, "Yeah, you're right, it's not wanted or needed here." And that's how a little preventive medicine can stopthis cancer before it spreads anymore than it has. But sticking your heads in the stereo and sayingsomeone else will do it, just won't get it. You gotta do it. You gotta do it yourself. You're the ones whomust make it-go away â€” wishing doesn't work. As Steppenwolfe has lyrically phrased it, "Goddamn, Isay, GODDAMN the pusher man."

The writer's name end major must be included. Editor:Apparently, Western has it in mind to thoroughly screw its students. Not only do students pay for theconstruction of new parking lots through raised parking payments, they must also humor the childish,hand-slapping" policy of towing vehicles away. My only question is: why must cars be towed from half-empty lots? Surely not to provide added income for the college. The student Co-Op seems to beproficient enough in that field. Just as surely, the college could impose, say, a $5 fine for improperlyparked cars. Presumably, it must be done to provide students with a new learning experience. Isuggest, therefore, that a class be added to Western's curriculum. Just think of the possibilities in aclass of "How to Make a Quick Buck Off Unsuspecting Students." A fall class could be offered in"Housing Office Hijinks;" in winter, "Bookstore Blaspheme;" and spring, "Vehicle Vexation." Heads ofhousing, Co-Op, and security would qualify as excellent teachers. Certain departments of WesternWashington State College will undoubtedly continue to pick the pockets of its pupils, who remainstrangely oblivious to their thinning wallets. Or, perhaps, far in the future someone with a voice will askthese people why they insist on such policies of unreasonable punishment. Until such a time, I pass my congratulations on to Western for capitalizing on every human frailty, to the students who stand pie-faced and broke, and, above all to Horton's Towing, who had to make the terrible decision between easymoney and angry students. Kurt W. Shellhorn business Goldfish Grab Students The goldfish splashing amid the government pamphlets outside the economics office in Old Main are the result of marketresearch on what appeals to students. This unconventional display is aimed at introducing students toavailable U.S. government material on economics and business administration. "You can communicatemore effectively with your students by using promotional techniques rather than just providing abibliography of what is available," said Farroakh Safavi, associate professor of business education. Thenine-day display also serves as an exercise in marketing for Hossein Rahbary and Richard Burns, two ofSafavi's students. Fifty students were interviewed during the planning stacks of the display to find outwhat would attract them. The goldfish, posters and special lighting effects are the result. "We went tothe students firstâ€”this is the key point in marketing," Safavi said. "You go to the people for whom theproduct is designed to see what they want." He said the goldfish reflect the interviewed students' desirefor life in the display. "The fish offset the deadening effect of the printed matter." Posters and speciallighting took precedence over music in the student interviews. Safavi attributes this to association of thelearning process with quiet surroundings. Veterans: Got Your Check Yet? Veterans attending schoolunder the GI Bill should have either received their first check or a certificate of award from the VeteransAdministration. "If you haven't received either, start checking," VA officials advised this week. The firstthing a veteran should do is make sure the registrar sent in his certificate of enrollment at the beginningof the quarter. If the certificate was sent and checks have not arrived, veterans should contact theregional VA office in Seattle.

Editor: In your column of Oct. 27, you mentioned the election of the pig last year asHomecoming Queen and the final demise of the activity of Homecoming. I have been under pressure inthe past few weeks to schedule a formal or semi-formal dance on the night of the Homecoming game.Naturally my first impression of this whole thought is to say no. However, I would like to get some idea of what the student body in general would think of a homecoming dance as opposed to a regular typefunction. Therefore I am now soliciting a general student response to the question. Any letters or ideascan be addressed to myself care of the Program Commission Office, VU 201. Dennis L.

Training officers in the field of narcotics control would be one way to restrictpushers and open the door to youth education and prevention, he said. Dolan said that he has a list ofactive drug pushers in the county but that he would not infringe in Bellingham police jurisdiction unlesscalled on. Dolan cited statistics that showed the Bellingham Police Department had filed 90 per cent ofnearly 60 narcotics charges filed in Whatcom County last year.

Faculty speaker Howard Harris, leaderof the weekly peace vigil at the- Bellingham federal building, will encourage students and interested .persons at the workshop to join in the vigil. The workshop is part of an effort by the SMC to put pressureon the government to withdraw U.S. troops from Vietnam. "We're sick and tired of this damn war and we want out troops out now," Foresman said. "We want to make the people aware of what's going on; thekilling and destroying of the Vietnamese land," he added.

Hardin accompanied the House Select Committee on U.S. Involvement in Southeast Asia onits two-week trip to Southeast Asia as a member of the staff. He served five years as a jet pilot in theNavy. This article was originally written for the Progressive Magazine. "The members of this committeewill be better prepared than anyone who has gone over to Vietnam on a fact-finding trip . . . we will not be led around by the nose . . . this will be a 'no briefings' trip." This statement was made by Rep. C. V."Sonny" Montgomery, Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the House Select Committee on U.S.Involvement in Southeast Asia, set up by the House June 8. A month after the Cambodian invasion, Ijoined the Committee as a staff aid. By the time I returned I had learned some of the rawest realities ofVietnam, but, even more important, I had also learned some shattering truths about one of the majorcommittees of the House. The committee consisted of six. ' Republicans: Ross Adair of Indiana, DonaldClancey of Ohio, Hastings Kieth of Massachusetts, Howard Robison of New York, Orval Hansen of Idaho and Albert Watson of South Carolina; and six Democrats: Montgomery, Neal Smith of Iowa, AugustusHawkins of California, W. R. Anderson of Tennessee, Lee Hamilton of Indiana, and Robert Mollohan ofWest Virginia. As a number of newspapers pointed out, this was a "hawkish group." Of the twelve, onlythree have opposed the war with reasonable consistency: Hawkins, Hamilton and Robison. TheCommittee, as I was told, was going over to Vietnam with an open mind, and would really dig in to findout some facts instead of getting the usual ream of military hand-outs and briefings. At this t}me I wasstill naive enough to believe it. The first three days in Vietnam, with the exception of Monday morning,June 22, were spent with the military. Total number of briefings for the first three days: 19. On Thursdaymorning, June 25, nine members of the Committee flew to Bangkok, Thailand; one to Djakarta,Indonesia, and two to Vientiane, Laos, to discuss the widening war in Southeast Asia with American and foreign officials. During their three-day absence, I and another staff aid Ken Lester met with Don Luce,an American who has been in Vietnam, off and on, since 1958. Co-author of Vietnam-The UnheardVoices, Luce has many Vietnamese friends and a comprehensive command of the language. For thosethree days Luce, Lester and I talked Music Recitals Led Zeppelin got you down? .'ired of Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young?

OnJune 27, after the Congressmen returned to Saigon, I told the Chairman, Montgomery, what I had beendoing and asked if he could schedule the committee, or members of it, to talk to some of theVietnamese people. "Well, I don't know if it is really necessary," Montgomery replied. "I think we'vetalked to enough people. I believe we should get busy writing the report." Now I understood. TheCommittee would not break away from the guided tours and military briefings. They had five more days in Vietnam, and, as it turned out, they were spent mainly with the spokesmen for the U.S. Military andState Department. The major exception to the "guided tours" was a trip taken by Anderson, Hawkins,Luce and myself which uncovered the "tiger cages" in the prison on Con Son Island. Phu Quoc hadalready been scheduled for three Committee members. I felt that if this student could tell theseCongressmen about the tiger cages the . trip could be changed from Phu Quoc to Con Son. ThatMonday Night, Nguyen Loi, 26, met with a group of Congressmen and Ken Lester, Don Luce (acting as i n t e r p r e t e r ) and me. The Congressmen originally scheduled to visit the prison at Phy Quoc wereClancy, Mollohan and Watson. Clancy and Mollohan were present, but Watson had called to say that he was "too tired" and that he felt the other men could cover it well enough. Also present were Hawkinsand Smith. After Loi had spoken for about ten minutes about his imprisonment and torture at Con Son,Rep. Clancy left, saying as he walked out, "This is in a field 1 don't know anything about." About 15minutes later, while Loi was talking, Rep. Smith got up and began to read a newspaper. He then left theroom. Neither one had expressed any thanks or encouragement to the young man who had probablyrisked his life, or at least a return to prison, by meeting with them. In fact, Smith tried to poke holes inLoi's story. Yet after the story of the tiger cages had made headlines throughout the world, Smith toldthe press that he had believed every word about the conditions that this young man had related. Thenext morning at breakfast, Clancy, Mollohan and Watson told me they would not be going to see theprison, although Hawkins was planning to go. I was afraid that the trip there might be cancelled. So Ihurriedly told the half dozen Committee members at my breakfast table what we had found so far aboutthe tiger cages. Only one man agreed to go: Rep. William Anderson, a highly decorated submarineofficer of World War II and former commander of the nuclear submarine Nautilus. We changed the tripfrom Phu Quoc to Con Son and Loi drew us a map of the tiger cage's location. As is well known, withthe aid of a map, and luck, we were able to find the tiger cages. The conditions of the cages wasinhumane. Each cell was about 5 wide by 10 feet long and 10 feet deep. As many as five people werecrowded into each with no fresh air, no sanitary facilities, no water and no direct sunlight. Prisoners hadtheir ankles shackled to an iron bar about two feet off the floor. They were sometimes kept this way formonths and years. We talked with many of the prisoners, and learned that none was there for criminaloffenses-but for protest actions such as failure to salute the flag. After the story of our findings becamepublic, many people, Congressmen included, claimed Luce was not interpreting correctly. However, Ihad a tape recorder hidden in a briefcase during our visit to Con Son, and taped all the conversations. Isubsequently gave a copy of the tape to Rep. John Moss, chairman of the House Foreign G o v e r n m e n t O p e r a t i o ns Subcommittee. This group had the tape transcribed by two interpreters inWashington, one from the USIA and the other from the Library of Congress. Luce had interpretedcorrectly. I also took some pictures of the tiger cages, which were later published in Life Magazine. Iwas afraid that an attempt might be made to get the film before we left Saigon, and gave it to Rep. Smith for whom I had worked in the past. Smith put the film and tape in his suitcase. I did not realize until after we were airborne and headed back to the United States just what a mistake I had made. It becameapparent after - a one-night layover we had in Japan just how important the pictures were. The committee met in a room in the visiting officers' quarters at Tachikawa Air Base. Chairman Montgomery brought upthe subject of the pictures and the trip to Con Son. "I can't help but feel that if this gets out, it will behighly embarrassing," Watson said. "The press will pick this up and it will overshadow everything elsewe accomplished over there," replied Clancy. "If these pictures get blown up all over, I know myconstituents will wonder why I wasn't there." "What business did we have going over there in the firstplace?" asked Keith. "It was a mistake to do that." "It was a mistake to take Luce along," said Smith."Who asked him to go?" And so it went. Chairman Montgomery finally said that he felt that it was theconsensus of the group that Tom Harkin would turn over the pictures to the Committee so it could takewhatever action it felt necessary. I refused. That was the first attempt to get my pictures. There werethree more attempts made on the aircraft while flying home from Japan. The, last attempt was simply aflatout demand for the film, and I was warned that if I made anything public, I would be blamed for harmthat would come to our prisoners held in North Vietnam. The Committee did not know that the film wasstill in the custody of Smith, who had said nothing up until then. I was afraid he might turn it over. Wehad a talk on the phone. He asked what I wanted to do with the pictures. I told him that I thought aboutgetting them before the public, so pressure might be brought to bear on the government to change theconditions at Con Son. "Oh, no. That's all wrong. Public pressure never solved anything. Publicity neverdoes any good," replied Smith. Smith went on: "I think I have the solution. I'll take the film and the tapeand lock them up in my office safe. We'll keep them locked up for six months or so, or until this thingblows over." What could I say? I didn't want to alarm him, so I nodded approval. I was planning to takethe pictures if at all possible after he locked them up. That is exactly what happened. During the earlypart of our flight back, I had been asked to come in Sunday and work on the report. Later, I was told tocome instead e a r l y Monday. I went to Montgomery's office Monday morning and found that the report had already been sent to the printers. I went down to the print shop in the House Office Building. Sureenough, the part of the report dealing with Con Son, as put together by Anderson and Hawkins in Japan,had been edited drastically. In fact, it was reduced to one small paragraph with no mention of the tigercages. There was really no question about what I had to do. I called the press, disclosed the existenceof the tiger cages, and released my pictures. In Saigon, the goverment first refused to comment, thanannounced an investigation, and finally directed that the tiger cages be both repaired and closed-acontradiction that has not been publicly resolved. This, then, was my short by intensive course inpractical politics. I l e a r n e d how Congressional "fact-finding" can become an exercise in blindacceptance of official handouts. I learned how men supposedly dedicated to the public interest canignore-or even conceal-the most blatant injustice. I learned how easily moral courage and even commondecency can be subverted by political expediency. And I learned that you don't have to go along. Oneman can stand up and make a difference.- I cannot imagine two more dissimilar Congressmen in theirbackgrounds: Hawkins, a black from the Watts area of Los Angeles, a long-time "dove;" Anderson, acareer military officer, a "hawk" on the war (although he has stated publicly since his trip to Vietnam that he has "been turned around" in his thinking). Yet they have two things in common: sensitivity and moral courage. This makes them unique-at least in the House of Representatives. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ~M i I I I T " â€” ^ " â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢m 11 â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ mill m i Who Works for Western?

Pollution SafeguardDeveloped Western's computer system will be an effective weapon to combat pollution, according toassistant professor of physics William Dittrich who is presently serving on the Technical AdvisoryCouncil of the Northwest Air Pollution Authority (NWAPA). Dittrich combined efforts with associateprofessor of physics Willard Brown to establish an automated data system to handle pollutioninformation for the NWAPA. "We're laying the groundwork so major problems don't develop," Dittrich said of the computerized program. "We're trying to help local pollution control become more Typewritersand Adding Machine Safes, Scnrtoa and tantab Special Student Rental Rales I 4 BEUIIfiHUI DesiNE$s â€¢ACMES (Next to Bon Marche) lllOCwâ€”eretd 734-3S30 effective and efficient," Brown said. Theautomated data system allows the NWAPA to store an immense b a c k l o g of data includingmeteorological information, air pollution measurements, and environmental regulations. "We're trying toset things up for the future," Brown said, "and eventually get an analysis to tell us what to do about thepollution problem." The use of computers will allow the NWAPA to make better, more comprehensivedecisions while relieving them of the "nasty, trivial work," according to Brown. "Without the computerthey just wouldn't be able to do these things in all likelihood," he said. The automated data handling s ys t em h a s n ' t been fully implemented yet. Completion of the program is being held up by the federaland state budget squeeze. One practical use of the computerized system would be the formation ofweekly work schedules for NWAPA officials. The computer would be programmed to form a schedule on the basis of certain relevant data which would be fed into the computer or stored in its backlog. Given alaw restricting a certain pollutive chemical, the name of the industry affected and the deadlines forcompliance, the computer would indicate which industry should be checked up for what chemical when.NBofC has an easier way to track down expenses.

Dittrich is also demonstrating his concern for the state of the environmentas a member of the county park board. He is supporting the effort of the park board to secure andimprove more land for better parks. ' ' L a n d now is r a p i d ly disappearing," Dittrich said, "and thecounty must buy open land while it can still be purchased reasonably." Dittrich cited the San FranciscoBay as an example of the dangers of letting open land be bought up by the public. Waterfront acreage is almost entirely owned by private citizens in San Francisco and land values are too high for park boardsto purchase for recreational purposes. The Whatcom County park board has purchased three per cent of the waterfront land but Dittrich indicated there is still a lot to be done. He doesn't want WhatcomCounty to be left without sufficient land for parks for the use of future generations. Dittrich is also on abranch board of the National Recreation and Park Association which serves as a medium ofcommunication on problems and developments of environmental concern. "We're getting information onNew Jersey cases which are testing the power of the highway department to route freeways throughparks, and other branches of the national association arc awaiting the results of our Initiative 256,"Dittrich said. Popcorn Pops, Forum Flops The Popcorn forum, which offered free popcorn as anincentive for student participation, attracted a crowd of only about 50 students. The forum, held Mondayin the VI) lounge, was created in the hopes that students would jump at the opportunity to ask AScandidates pertinent questions. Each candidate was introduced and spoke for a few minutes on currentissues, platforms and goals. Following the presentations, a question-answer period was held. Anotherpopcorn forum will be held from 3-5 p.m. Tuesday for those candidates who will be on Wednesday'sballot. County Needs Jail Space One of the proposals before Whatcom County voters in Tuesday'sgeneral election is a bond levy for the Whatcom County Public Safety Building. "The building wouldreduce costly duplication and provide better law enforcement, detention and emergency services,"campaign coordinator David L. Thomas said in an i n t e r v i e w Wednesday. "Both agencies would use common laboratory and records facilities and would have a common. jail," Thomas said. Both thepolice and sheriffs officers would share common office space, he said. A single telephone number would connect the caller with either the W h a t c om County Sheriff's Department or the Bellingham PoliceDepartment, he added. Juvenile Probation Officer Rita Albright said that the passage of the levy wouldallow the use of the entire sixth floor of the County Court House for juvenile offenders. "At present, onlyfour double cells are used for juvenile detention," she said. "That means we can accomodate eightjuveniles and stay within the state health standards." Mrs. Albright said that when more than eightjuveniles are being detained "we have to put more than two in a cell." The present city and county jailsdo not have separate facilities for male and female prisoners, Thomas said. Consequently, women underarrest must either be released or transferred to Snohomish County jail. Another feature of the proposedPublic Safety Building is medical facilities to permit periodic visits by doctors and nurses. The need foran infirmary at the jail was demonstrated by the death last July of a prisoner following a fast. LyleGuest, a Canadian youth serving a 30-day sentence for illegal entry into the United States died July 3following a hunger-strike for what he called "universal citizenship." Passage of the levy would cost thetaxpayers approximately SI.90 in additional taxes for each $100 they currently pay, Thomas said. RoleySpeaks Out "The major issue of this campaign is old style politics versus a new style of politics," StateSenatorial candidate Paul Roley said in an interview Wednesday. The Democrat faces imcumbent GOP Sen. R. Frank Atwood in Tuesday's general election. Roley spoke put against secret voting procedurewhere votes are not recorded. "I'd like to bring politics out of the back room and into public view," thehistory professor said. "This is in the best interest of the public." A strong advocate of Initiative 256,Roley said he believed the b o t t l e deposit initiative would accomplish its purpose. "Initiative 256 won'tstop litter but it's a start," he said. "It will give the kids an incentive for picking up bottles that are thrown out," he said. Student demonstrations and classroom strikes throughout the nation is having~anadverse effect on appropriations for higher education, he said. He said the move to lower the voting agemight also be in jeopardy as a result of voter opinion of student conduct. Bonds Set By BiddingPassage of Referendum 22 will permit the interest rates to be set through competitive bidding forconstruction bonds issued through a previously passed referendum, college officials said. The measurewill also remove the deadline for sale of the bonds. The bonds in question were approved by voters twoyears ago when Referendum 19 was passed.

Unless Referendum 22 is passed, the increased cost of construction may cause a delay on the construction of the auditorium addition,the renovation of Old Main and the construction of the Social Sciences Building, according to campusplanners. Referendum 22 will provide the State Finance Committee with flexibility to permit takingadvantage of the changing market conditions, Western's public information office said. UnderReferendum 19, passed in November 1968, the interest rate on bonds could not exceed 6 per cent and a Jan. 1, 1972, deadline was set. With the steady increase in construction costs, however, it isconsidered unlikely that the bonds can be sold at the six per cent interest within the specified, time. ---------- Western Front - 1970 October 30 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Friday, October 30, 1970 Screening Speeds A id For Ills The campus health center has enlarged their health care services for students this quarter. These services, such as shots for allergy,treatment of common illnesses, and some medicines, are free for any registered student. KennethJemberg, the center's new director, attributed increased efficiency in their health care to a new screening system in which student problems are evaluated by nurses. If the problem is beyond the scope of thecenter's services, the By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D. Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Michigan, 48823 Question: I have been having sexual intercourse with my fiance regularly forabout two years now and I am still unable to achieve vaginal orgasm. I can and do often experienceclitoral orgasm with him and through masturbation. He has been very patient and understanding. Wediscussed my problem and he has tried to help. However, I'm afraid he is beginning to feel inadequate inthe sense that he feels unable to satisfy me, although I enjoy sex a great deal. I am hoping that youmay have a suggestion or two for me concerning this problem. Answer: The differentiation betweenvaginal and clitoral orgasm was based on conjecture. The research of Masters and Johnsondemonstrated that female orgasm is the same regardless of the region stimulated to produce orgasm.Female orgasm is defined as a short episode of physical relief of sexual tension characterized by \certain muscular and circulatory changes along with a subjective perception of intense physical reaction. During sexual intercourse, as well as during other forms of genital stimulation, the clitoris is almoststudeni is referred to appropriate care. If the problem is relatively . minor, it is treated there at the clinic.The clinic, for minor medical and diagnostic problems, is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily; and theinfirmary, for minor illnesses requiring hospitalization, is open 24 hours. Both clinic and infirmary arelocated in Edens Hall. For emergency problems, you should go to St. Lukes Hospital (down from thecampus on Holly), which is staffed with a nurse and physician for student care. always stimulated eitherdirectly or indirectly through pressure. It sounds like you and your fiance have become preoccupiedneedlessly.

Question: I had my cars piercedby a doctor just this past November. Although my cars were never infected and I used good goldearrings, they were always sore. I have stopped wearing earrings for good and I am anxious for the holes to grow back. Will my ear lobes return to normal? If so, how long should this take? Will the little "knot"inside my car lobe disappear? Answer: Over a period of the next year or so the hole will probablydisappear entirely. You can expect to have a small "knot" for quite a while until the scar tissue becomesless. There may always be a small, very tiny hard spot but actually many normal people also have small "knots" in their ear lobes. Your initial difficulty may have arisen because you fastened the earrings tootightly, a common error. While piercing ears is usually a benign procedure, occasionally infections dodevelop. Ear piercing; must be done under sterile conditions which can often be found in a doctor'soffice. At the first sign of infection the person should return to the doctor lest it develop into a severeproblem. For the life of mc, 1 can't understand what causes people to punch holes in their head.

The case in question involved three Universityof Wisconsin (UW) students and the former director of the UW Afro-American Center. The law, whichwas passed in a wave of anti-protest legislation in May 1969 was struck down because it violates firstamendment guarantees of free speech. The three-judge panel also voted two to one to permanentlyrestrain the University from continuing proceedings against the students whose arrests in lastNovember's moratorium activities gave rise-to the case. Federal Judge James Doyle had issued atemporary restraining order Jan. 12 and at the same time had KKK Takes First Prize Western's PhiAlpha Theta history honorary society recently awarded $100 in cash prizes to essays dealing with theKu Klux Klan, the election of 1860 and Pancho Villa. The $50 first prize went to Barbara Snyder for "KuKlux Klan and the Democratic Convention of 1924." "Stephen A. Douglas and the Election of 1860"netted $30 for Tom Mayer. Eric Stegman received $20 for "Pancho Villa: Rise and Fall of a Mythological Figure." The essays were judged on competent use of sources and manner of writing style. Thecontest was held last spring and was open to all students. asked for a three-judge panel to decide onthe constitutionality of the law and whether or not to make the injunction permanent. The law of May1969 was supplemented by a University of Wisconsin Regents' regulation in October which eliminateduse of sound equipment- for all but University sponsored activities and "events of an all-campus nature." Mentioned as exceptions in the regulation were Homecoming and Campus Carnival. Specificallyprohibited was use of equipment by "politically oriented groups, regardless of their political point of view." The resolution passed without debate with only one dissenting regent. Formerly, only the permission ofthe chancellor had been necessary to use sound equipment. Both UW President Fred Harrington andChancellor Edwin Young had opposed the new measure. The first significant test of the new law cameduring the Nov. 14 moratorium activities, when attempts to use the sound equipment resulted in thearrest of the four persons. The individuals said they knew they would be arrested, and that the law wouldbe overturned, but felt that it was not simply a civil liberties case, but a challenge to "the wider syndrome of political repression in Madison." The individuals were charged with violating the state law and brought suit into Federal District court in December, resulting in Doyle's temporary restraining order. As aconsequence of this order, the regents revised their regulations in June of this year to include morespecific criteria. As a result, some observers see no conflict between the new regent guidelines and thefederal ruling. Students, faculty, and staff: buying or selling housing or real estate?

If you do, the troops will love you. To them it symbolized freedom, a freedom they, ascaptives in green fatigues, don't have. Do it. Go north from Saigon shaggy, bushy and free. But beforeyou go, there is one thing you must do-let your "hair hang out," let it grow. Not shoulder length or"hippie" style, but shaggy, like "Broadway Joe" Namath, perhaps. Your sideburns should be full and your mustache thick and bushy. Take your 'stache and 'burns and go to Camp Eagle, home of the 101st, afew miles south of Hue. When you arrive look up Mark Gilreath and John Del Vecchio at the PublicInformation Office of the 1st Brigade. They'll take care of you, show you where things are, and tell youwhat's.going on in the war. At dinnertime they'll invite you to eat at the best enlisted men's mess hall in I Corps. The mess hall belongs to the 2nd Battalion, 502nd Airborne Regiment, and the mess sergeant is a jolly, red-faced Irishman who obviously enjoys cooking for his men. Gilreath asks the mess sergeant's permission to feed you; he says, "Sure, sure. Go ahead." Down the line you'll go, taking baked hamand pineapple, candied yams and peas from the steam table. After you have filled your plate you'll passthrough a doorway into the dining hall. There will be over 200 GIs eating, but when you walk in, they'llstopâ€”first one, then twoâ€”and as the word spreads-perhaps in 20 or 30 seconds-no one will be eatingthe good chow. They'll be watching you, saying to one another "Hey man, look! Burns man, BURNS!"You get in line for something to drink, feeling a little embarrassed because of your presence. Suddenlyall noise stops. Simultaneously, a hand grips your arm, ripping you around, and a tremendous roarechoes through the mess hall. The roar, its torrent of anger filling the room, is coming from SergeantMajor Salvoluiski, the highest ranking enlisted man in the "2nd of the five-oh-duce." He is the top-sergeant, the guy who has the last word. His steady stream of threats and abuse reverberates throughthe room. You know fear. Finally-just as the sergeant major leans his 180 pounds against you andthreatens to cast you bodily from the r o o m â€” h e l p c o m e s . A captain-blonde, slight and wearylooking-interrupts. "Sergeant Major," the captain says, "this man is a civilian and you can't throw him out of the mess hall." Salvoluiski is not a man that is easily denied, "I don't care what the goddamned bumis. I'm a military man. This is military chow. This is a military mess hall and that sonuvabitch ain't goingto eat here." The captain is patient but firm. "I'm sorry, Sergeant Major, but that's not your decision." Atthis, Salvoluiski backs off a few feet and shouts, "THEN GOD-DAMN-IT, HE'S GOTTA PAY FOR IT!"Suddenly there is a great commotion and you find yourself surrounded by GIsâ€”clerks who sit behinddesks all day and "grunts" who "hump" in the fieldâ€”thrusting money towards you. Putting it in yourhands. Shoving it in your pockets. Stuffing it inside your shirt. Putting it any place they can. When theexcitement has died down a little and you've given the money back, Sergeant Major Salvoluiski is nolonger in the mess hall. You turn toward the room full of paratroopers, lift up your arm and flash thepeace sign. The room will erupt with cheers. You've learned even more about "where it's at," in Vietnam.

Game time is 1:30 p.m. Coach Boyde Long's Vikings are currently tied for the Evco lead with Central Washington. Each have 2-0 records. The Pirates, coached by HughCampbell, are 1-1 in league play having defeated nationally-ranked Eastern Washington 24-7 two weeksago. Overall Whitworth is 1-5. Western will be in much better shape physically than last week againstCentral. Both quarterback Marshall Torre and split end Steve Jasmer will be ready to go. Tight-end NeilCrawford is out for another two weeks with a broken jaw. Possible lineup changes that may be institutedby Coach Long are moving defensive back Kevin Halliburton to flankerback with Jeff Carroll taking over inthe secondary. Whitworth will have freshman quarterback George Perry at quarterback. Toughinexperienced Perry is developing fast into a fine signal-caller. The Pirate running game centers aroundfullback Ken Surby, a 200-pounder who has always been tough against the Vikings. Perry's favoritereceiver is Jim Simonson, who started the year on defense only to move back to offense where hestarted all of last year. Defensively the Pirates have been weak, but changes have made for improvement in recent weeks. One standout is defensive tackle Cory Ray, who earned conference "Lineman-of-the-Week" honors for his fine performance against Eastern. The game is a must for both teams if they are to stay in contention for the Evco championship. The Vikings will have to be ready at Whitworth. ParkingAppeals Delayed A separate appeals committee within the Parking Committee cannot be formed untilafter the ASB elections next Wednesday, according to Joan Straughan, Parking Committee chairman.The four students making up the majority of the committee are to be appointed by the AS President, who will not be elected until then, she said. Final decision will be made by President Charles J. Flora. Right now there are three appeals pending. Mrs. Straughan said that in last Tuesday's Parking Committeemeeting requests were made to have a waiver of the Freshman ban on ownership of cars on campus.She said that Freshman banning of cars was a historical plan for making Western a residential college."It no longer seems realistic," she said. The Board of Trustees has to v approve the request. v At themeeting, a graduate student came and encouraged use of all available space for motorcycles. Mrs.Straughan said that sometimes these places are not very good because cars might bump into themotorcycles. "We are going to think more and more about motorcycle - - (lie missing). She said thatthe security police have not cracked down on motorcycle parking in front of the Terrace Annex acrossfrom the Bookstore, because there are not enough spaces available for motorcycles.

The win gave the Viking boot team soleownership of first-place in the Western Washington Soccer Conference. Western's record is now 2-0-2.The Vikings' league opponents have all lost at least one. The Vikings once again appeared sluggish inthe opening minutes of play, as the Loggers were outplaying the defending champs. The Viks, who hadtied both Seattle U. and the University of Washington 1-1 in their last two games, finally got theirmomentum going midway in the first half. The soccer club seemed fired up when UPS had a goal calledback because of an offside penalty. Minutes later Western was on the scoreboard, when GregWesselius took a pass from Bill "B.A." Carr, and rifled it past the UPS goalie. From Wesselius's goalon, Western controlled the game, outplaying the Loggers at both ends of the field. Crisp passing,something Western had lacked in its two previous games, set up the Viks' second goal. ManfredKuerstan set up the score as he passed to Glenn Hindon who in turn slid the balltwer to Gary Byron.Byron then pumped the ball into the goal. Lome Turner, Western's goalie, turned in another fine game,blocking at least 14 shots in\he game. Western had several other outstanding individuals, but all in allthe win was a team effort. This Saturday, Western travels to Seattle for a rematch with Seattle PacificCollege (SPC). The first time the two teams met, the Vikings won 9-0. Vik Women Lose Western'swomen's field hockey team dropped its home debut to Simon Fraser University, 2-1 last -Monday.Western Front 11 gt;â€¢ By BOB TAYLOR Off the Bench hit 90 per cent of its predictions again lastweek, much to the dismay of the Muckraker column. It looked like 100 per cent at first, but Oregonshattered my hopes with its 10-7 win over Southern California (It looks like there may be a different teamin the Rose Bowl). , How do things fare this week? Glad I asked that question. In the EvergreenConference, it looks like: Central over Eastern Washington. This week it's for keeps.and Central will go all out to win this one (Last weekend's game with Western did not count in conference standings). Too badthis game is played in Ellensburg, Eastern may have had a chance in Cheney. Eastern Oregon oyerSouthern Oregon. Eastern's passing attack should win this one. Looks like a long season for the Ashland11. Lewis and Clark over Oregon College of Education (OCE). OCE is gaining momentum as the seasonprogresses and could pull a major surprise. Chances are they won't. Western over Whitworth. Western'sseason could depend on this game. The Viks have to win to stay in contention for the EvergreenConference championship. The Pirates, always tough in Spokane, will be no pushover. Oregon Tech hasa bye this weekend. Just as well, their season was bye-bye a long time ago. The Owls have lost everygame so far this season. * * * In Pacific Eight action, it should be: USC over California. After lastweekend's loss to Oregon, the Trojans are bound to be down psychologically. With their Rose Bowlhopes just about diminished, USC will have to win this one on pride alone. Washington over Oregon.Most sports experts are picking Oregon, but what do they know! Washington is always tough on theDucks in Seattle. History should repeat. That is, if the Huskies don't make too many first-half mistakesand if Sonny "What's his name" is accurate. Stanford over Oregon State. Stanford can smell the roses, so look out Beavers! With Jim Plunkett at the helm, the Indians will win in a landslide. UCLA overWashington State. It's been a long season for the team from Palouse. UCLA will make it even longer.Better wait until next year, Cougar fans (sounds rather familiar, doesn't it). * * * Tom Wigg and JeffMichaelson were named Western's football players of the week for outstanding performances againstCentral. Wigg, the Vikings hard-running fullback, got the offensive award. The Issaquah sophomorecarried the ball 16 times for 76 yards against the tough Wildcat defense. Transfers to Key Vik Hopes By ' ' T h e NAIA n a t i o n al championship will be decided in the Evergreen Conference," states WesternWashington basketball coach Chuck Randall. "Central Washington looks to be better than last yearwhen they finished second in the NAIA and we have the best talent in my nine years at Western." ,PAUL MADISON Reason for Randall's flat prediction and optimism centers around the addition of fivetalented transfers to a group of seven returning lettermen. Center Rudy Thomas from HighlineCommunity College at 6-7 is the tallest man ever to play for Randall. The 240-pounder scored 26 pointsa game for Highline and earned All-Conference honors.

From the ---------- Western Front - 1970 October 30 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Friday, October 30, 1970 HISC Requests Info on Campus Speakers PHILADELPHIA-University of Pennsylvania Provost David Goddard has informed the House Internal Security Committee(HISC) that it is "unable to supply the information" requested by the HISC chairman, according to theDaily Pennsylvanian. U.S. Rep. Richard Ichord (D-Mo.) last summer requested that all college anduniversity officials supply HISC with a list of all non-academic speakers, including name, amount andtype of honorarium and organization sponsoring the speaker. Western President Charles J. Florasubmitted the names of outside speakers on campus between September 1968 and May 1970 butdeclined to provide further information, his secretary said. Ichord's letter to the college and universityofficials across the country stated that "guest speakers representing such (subversive) organizationshave made appearances on college and university campuses and have received honorariums which could be of significance in funding their activities." Goddard said in his refusal to comply that he believed "itwas in the best interests of the university" that the information requrested not be furnished. According to the university newspaper, there has been no reaction by the House committee to Goddard's letter.American Civil Liberties Union chapters throughout Pennsylvania and other states have advised collegeand university officials to ignore the HISC letter and request, according to the Pennsylvanian. ArtistExposed in Show Mary Randlett's series of photographs of Northwest artists is on exhibit in the Western Gallery, located in the Art Building. The photographs document the personality of the artist and relateher to her work and her locale. Mrs_^ Randlett was commissioned by Western to photograph thedevelopment of the college's Noguchi Sculpture from the beginning of its construction to its placement inRed Square. This series of photographs is now a part of the collection of "art that was acquired at thetime of the building of Bond and Miller Halls and the completion of Red Square. In a publication put outby the art department,, Mrs. Randlett says, "My basic interest in photography developed from an earlypassion and respect for the beauty of nature. Following this period I concentrated on pictures of childrenin a nature environment. " I n 1963 I photographed Theodore Roethke and the idea of documenting alarge number of creative people in the Pacific Northwest began to evolve. Starting with well-establishedfigures in the younger painters and sculptors as well as poets, writers, and composers." The exhibitionopened Oct. 21, with a reception for Mary Randlett, area, the project expanded to include and willcontinue through Nov. 17. Cuckoo's Nest Really Lives Staff shortages and authority conflicts lead toconditions in mental hospitals similar to those depicted in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. This wasthe conclusion of two of the four panelists discussing the book of the quarter Wednesday. The novel,written by Ken Kesey, describes life in a mental hospital, and particularly, the influence of "Bull GooseLoony" (Randle Patrick McMurphy) on the other patients. Robert Klepac, associate professor ofpsychology at Western, explained why many mental hospitals resemble the one in Kesey's novel. Ashortage of qualified doctors causes the staff members to become "custodians." Instead of treatment,patients are merely monitored by authority, he said. Jennifer Miller, student at Western, said she onceworked in a hospital similar to the one described in the book. "The hospital traps a patient into eitherbeing a rabbit or a Bull Goose Loony," she said. Saundra Taylor, associate professor of psychology atWestern, noted that it is impossible to tell where Chief Bromden's imagination ends and reality begins.George Cvetkovich, associate professor of psychology, saw the novel as a classic study ofindependence vs. authority. +UELP STAMP BUT BARE UAUS with a POSTER OR PICTURE CustomFraming 25% Off Open Tuesday Through Saturday 11 A.

Â£A.CIF]C STUDIES CENTER MAP News Analysis By Front Reporters Twoindependent war research groups in California are confident that the U.S. military will not be withdrawnfrom Vietnam without first scoring a major victoryâ€”even if it means leading its allies in a full-scaleinvasion of North Vietnam. Furthermore, they contend, the U.S. may soon be pressured into usingtactical nuclear weaponry to achieve its military goal of isolating North Vietnam from the south. ThePacific Studies Center in Palo Alto and the Bay Area Institute in San Francisco both believe that theinvasion of Laos was part of President Nixon's overall strategy to "win" the war. If the Laos invasion meets failure, then the two groups agree that new technology and strategy may be introduced. Banning Garrett, a spokesman for PSC and a writer for Ramparts magazine, told the Front he is certain that militaryofficials are seriously considering the use of nuclear land mines to close the major passes along the HoChiMinh Trail network. "The Laos invasion losses have been greater than we expected," Garrett said."Nixon's situation is deteriorating and he will probably try to cover this defeat by launching an offensive."Garrett added that if Nixon intends to invade North Vietnam, then he would have to do so before themonsoons arrive in late April and early May. He believes presidential advisor Henry Kissinger does notthink the Chinese would intervene unless the existence of North Vietnam were threatened. "I amconfident that Kissinger is following the dubious assumption that China would not intervene as long as wemerely invade long enough to destroy supply areas," Garrett said. The Bay Area Institute contends thatNixon's alternatives are so few and unattractive that the "ultimate escalation, general war on the Asianmainland, is now conceivable." BAI, though, believes that a massive land invasion of North Vietnam or theuse of nuclear land mines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail could lead to confrontation with China. The Frontposed the problem to two professors and a number of students in the street for their opinions: HenrySchwarz, professor of political science and history and an Asia expert: "I don't think the United States will invade North Vietnam. However, the South Vietnamese might. The U.S. will probably not send groundtroops." ; Schwarz feels that use of nuclear land mines along the Ho Chi Minh Trail would be a "waste oftime" and that such an effort would not interrupt the flow of supplies from the north. Asked what wouldhappen if the U.S. did use tactical nuclear weapons, he replied: "They would be overrun -pushedout. AsMao Tse-Tung says, 'atomic bombs are paper tigers.' The important thing is man." Schwarz called Indo-China warfare "jungle hit-and-run" and said we have been "fighting the war incorrectly." David Ziegler,assistant professor of political science and a campus expert on foreign policy, agreed with Schwarz insaying the U.S. would not invade North Vietnamâ€”at least not within the next six months. "I would notdoubt that there may be a resumption in the bombing in North Vietnam such as which occurred betweenNovember 1965 and December 1968," Ziegler said. He added that he believes the U.S. will not go beyondthe threshhold of the nuclear ban. "If China got in the picture and used nuclear bombs, then it would bedifferent," Ziegler said. Student opinion over a possible U.S. invasion of North Vietnam revealed two fairlystrong trends in current attitudes about this nation's behavior. 1. A number of students polled (informally)believe such an invasion would be consistent with past actions and thus probable, and 2. The U.S. willnot introduce the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Vietnam.

Student - Faculty Majors oveCloser to Reality The Faculty Council has now approved, in principle, interdisciplinary student-facultydesigned majors and minors. The two proposals have been referred to a committee under Gary Lampman to work out specific administrative procedures. When the committee has finished its task the proposalwill once again come before the Academic Council for final consideration. "My personal hope is that it will come before the council early in spring quarter," Lampman said Wednesday. The majors proposalwould allow Western students to construct a major that would best suit their plans just as honors andFairhaven students do now. The theory behind the majors proposal is that many students do not want tobe limited by strict departmental sequences of the traditional disciplines. "Learning cannot be split upinto any one department," Tom Cooper, the AS academic coordinator, who submitted the majorsproposal, pointed out. Students must consider five points in designing their own majors under thisproposal: 1) The student should confer with at least one faculty member in each field of his major andrequest a brief written evaluation of the program. 2) Approval of two assisting faculty members and hisadvisor are needed before the contract is submitted to the student major committee. The contract shouldinclude a written statement by the student of the general purpose of the major. If the committee approvesthe student proposal, the contract for a BA or BS is set. 3) Grades in the major must be "C" or higher. 4) Course changes can be approved by two faculty members and the adviser, subject to review by thestudent major committee. 5) Before graduation the student and his adviser shall submit a statement ofsatisfactory completion of the contract to the student major committee for its final approval. The majorsproposal was approved "in principle" by the Academic Council Feb. 23 by an 11-2 margin. "In light of the11-2 approval, I expect that it would go through," Lampman said. The minors proposal was approved "inprinciple" by the council March 2 8-2 with 4 abstentions. Student member of the council Steve Evansmade the motion that students be allowed to design interdisciplinary minors with the sameconsiderations as the student major proposal. The minors proposal was referred to the committeedeveloping administrative procedures for the interdisciplinary student-faculty majors at the March 2meeting. "It's a little more difficult problem, in my estimation," Lampman said of the minors proposal,"since more students would probably want to take advantage of such a program and it only involves 25credits." The problem may be cleared up by prospective proposal to entirely eliminate minors which Tom Cooper is formulating. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 3 ---------- Possible Faculty Cutback; Flora Expresses Shock By JIM AUSTIN Front Reporter College PresidentCharles J. Flora said yesterday he was "shocked" by a House Appropriations Committeerecommendation that the number of faculty members at state colleges and universities be reduced. "This represents a lack of regard for providing an adequate college education for our young people," he said.In the past, the state has used a formula based on the number of full-time students to determine howmany faculty members are needed at each school, he said. '-'In order to operate at near optimum level,the full number of positions generated by the formula should be allocated to the college," Flora said."The state has never been able to allocate the full 100 per cent of the positions to the various colleges."Western was given 87.3 per cent of its allotted faculty in 1965, 81.7 per cent in 1967 and 82 per cent in1969. It currently operates at 76 per cent." The quality of education the college can provide suffers witheach reduction below the 100 per cent level, Flora said. "The current level is much too low for thiscollege to maintain a healthy relationship between students and faculty. "Classes become too large andimpersonal; students become 'folded, spindled and mutilated.' The quality of learning deteriorates." Gov.Dan Evans has recommended that Western be allocated 75 per cent of the formula for the first half of thecoming biennium and 74 per cent for the 1972-73 school year. "This is much too low, but perhaps it isthe highest figure possible in view of the state's financial condition." He said he was appalled when helearned that the House Appropriations Committee had recommended a further 2.5 reduction. Thecommittee recommended Tuesday that the formula be reduced to 72.5 per cent for 1971-72 and 71.5 percent for 1972-73. "I urge all those interested in preserving some semblance of quality in our colleges and universities to contact their representatives in Olympia and protest this unfortunate recommendation,"Flora said. He suggested that students write to Sen. Martin Durkan, chairman of the Senate Ways andMeans Committee, and send copies to Sen. R. Frank Atwood (R-Bellingham) and Sen. Fred Dore,chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Faculty Council Chairman Mel Davidson said theaction could have two possible results: â€”The average age of faculty would increase since the collegewould be unable to hire new faculty as older faculty members retired. This would make it more difficult toget new ideas into the college. â€”Also an increase in student loads would put added pressure on thefaculty, reducing their availability to consult with students. The situation "looks rather grim," Davidsonsaid. Flora listed three reasons for the committee's action: â€”Inclusion of Northern State Hospital in the budget; â€”The financial situation throughout the state; and â€”The belief by some legislators that thefaculty were not working hard enough. President Flora Drug Symposium Panel Says Pot ay BeLegalized SOUTHAS MASON NOLAND JUDGE KURTZ A four-member panel at the last session of thedrug seminar could find nothing wrong with marijuana other than that it is illegal. Wednesday night'spanel was made up by Fred Noland, American Civil Liberties Union representative and a Seattle attorney for MacDonald, Hoague and Bayless; Jane Mason, Whatcom County's prosecuting attorney; JudgeJack Kurtz, municipal court judge; and Spedo Southas, local narcotics officer. The discussion, entitled"Drugs and the Law," concluded a three day drug seminar held in the Viking Union lounge, and centeredaroung the legal aspects of drug usage prosecution. Southas said that 99 per cent of the policedepartment's drug cases just fall into their laps. "We don't go looking for somebody using pot, most arearrested for something else and then found with pot in their possession." "If you're going to use it, use itin your bedrooms," Southas added. N o l a n d said t h a t the criminalization of marijuana: â€” h a s nodeterrent effect â€”has no rehabilitative effect â€”promotes disrespect for processes of the lawâ€”promotes an underworld market â€” promotes contact between underworld characters and basicallylaw-abiding citizens â€” hampers drug education on "hard" drugs â€”hampers research because it isillegal everywhere â€”increases the "generation gap," and â€”leads to abuses of basic freedoms likeprivacy. He explained that the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington believes that lawenforcement should only be used when an individual endangers others. "This is not advocating drugusage," he said, "but that marijuan should be regulated like alcohol, and not criminalized." Miss Masonsaid that drug laws are being "eased up" gradually. "We are creatures of the government, we must go tothe legislature to get laws changed." But until the law is changed, laws regarding the use of drugs will be enforced as far as her office is concerned, Miss Mason said. The panel members agreed that it is likely that marijuana will be legalized sometime in the future. Noland said that the time will come when onestate will legalize it, and then legalization will spread, somewhat like abortion reform is. Southas saidthat since drugs came into the area four or five years ago, the police department hasn't had time toinvestigate other criminal cases fully. The police department is after the pushers, Southas said. "They'regetting into the elementary schools, and all they want is bucks, that's all they care about." Kurtz saidthat the best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it. Noland pointed out that a recent survey showedthat 31 per cent of college students smoke marijuana. "What would happen if that 31 per cent were allarrested in one night?" Kurtz wondered. If a person is interested in changing the drug laws "Write yourlegislator, call him, start working on this thing," Noland concluded. Tuesday night Dr. Harold Sigmarfrom the Tacoma methadone clinic said that heroin is less damaging physically than alcohol or caffeine."Physical damage associated with heroin addiction is usually caused by lack of sufficient food and sleep. The addict is usually so preoccupied with obtaining the drug that he neglects to eat and sleep," he said. Methadone, a cheap morphine substitute, can be prescribed only by specially licensed doctors and can be sold only by specially licensed pharmacies. Persons on methadone therapy must go to thepharmacy daily for their dosage and take it orally in the presence of the pharmacist. Monday night'sopening session entitled "Crisis in Drugs" zeroed in on the economic aspects and the smuggling of harddrugs into the U.S. Doug Southard, director of the Seattle Open Door Clinic, said that the United Stateshas recently applied "diplomatic pressure" on France in efforts to halt the processing and smuggling ofdrugs in that country. Yet, the government lets "limited" quantities of drugs pass for reasons of"necessity." Southard said the "necessity" was the Mafia. The drug problem is not new. "Man has hadthe desire to get loaded as long as he's knows drugs have been on earth," Southard said. He said thecurrent "psychedelic scene" was a monster created by the press. "The mass media has made it alltantalizing and glamorous with buttons, posters, leather and fringes, but it has failed to educate," hecharged. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 4 ---------- V JesT en^^om r^aay7 larcn o, WT Front Editorials.... "To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Black Outlook Few whites on campus are in a position to say that they thoroughlyunderstand the blacks and their problems, aspirations, anxieties and culture in America. That is one ofthe primary reasons for misunderstandings between blacks and whites in this nation todayâ€”and wehave had our share of misunderstandings here at Western in recent months. Beginning today, WilliamGable, the Front's black reporter, will begin a weekly series of Black Outlook columns to help shedsome light on a subject of which few of us are familiar. The editorial staff is confident that his columnswill provide you with some enlightening information from a strictly black perspective. We hope pur readers will find his remarks of some educational value. â€”John Stolpe Faculty Reduction This newspaper joins with College President Charles Flora in expressing genuine shock over a House AppropriationsCommittee recommendation to reduce the number of faculty members at state colleges and universities. We view this recommendation as a threat more serious than the proposed tuition increase. Facultyquotas for state colleges and universities have never been met, and we can see the results every singleday in our senior-level classes where 50 and more students scramble for seats; we can see it everysingle day when we attempt to see a professor and find a waiting line; We can see it every single daywhen instructors and professors are barely able to keep up with their work loads. A reduction in facultywould magnify these problems beyond comprehension. We call on every concerned student to write hisstate legislators in Olympia to soundly denounce the recommendation and to fight for increased facultyquotas. You should also write to Sen. Martin Durkan, chairman of the Senate Ways and MeansCommittee, and send copies to Sen. Frank Atwood (R-Bellingham) and Sen. Fred Dore, chairman of theSenate Appropriations Committee. Of course, letter writing will be much more persuasive if you alsocontact your parents and friends to join with you in the campaign.

Headline,Seattle P.I., Friday February 26, 1971, 8:30 am: AGGRESSION FAILS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA-NIXON. * * * * * Revolutionary thought while watching television-why should I continue to let a huge oil companycharge high prices for gasoline so that it can pay exhorbitant fees to use the public airwaves to con meinto thinking that its drilling activities are benevolent, when I know that its whole economic system isdestroying God's world? (Existential observation-just after I thought that thought, Hubert Humphrey wascut off from commenting on Henry Kissinger's sinister stance in American politics, so that we could enjoya Humble Oil commercial. How long will Americans tolerate this trifling with reality?) Do you know thatwhen the Alaskan North slope oil leases were up for grabs, H. L. Hunt and his fellow oil magnateschartered a Canadian train to shuttle back and forth between Edmonton and Calgary so they could workout on board their conspiratorial bids in absolute secrecy? Canadian radio reports that even thoughsomeone died on the train, they would not stop, for fear some word would leak out about what they weredoing. But that's the way it is. There's been a similar conspiracy about God. If you're confused aboutChristianity, it's most likely because some people are afraid to let out the truth about the Bible. Somefolks don't want anyone to know that Jesus was really human. In the last few years there has developed a massive propaganda effort for a mythical 'divine ghost,' whose life and crucifixion and resurrection hadnothing to do with war or justice or exploitation or trains on Canadian railroad tracks. The; tradition andhistory of Christian doctrine don't support this idea, of course. The Bible and the Nicene Creed say thatJesus was a mystery-the real kind that poets talk about-a curious blend of divine and human. But therestill persists the strange impression that the Jesus faith deals only with heaven-pie in the sky by and by. The strangest anomaly in all this is that it's the 'spiritual' Christians who are most strident in demandingthat we defend God by killing Communists in Vietnam. Listen to some of the conservative radiobroadcasts (people like H. L. Hunt support most of them financially), and to most of the religiousnonsense purveyed on campus in the name of Jesus. If you have any questions then, just read Isaiah and Jeremiah, St. Paul, and the Gospels. * * * * * It's the plague of American society that we have to dealwith caricatures, distortions, and outright lies. Students and professors and administrators andbusinessmen and hardhats and Jesus suffer together in our cultural malaise. It ought to be the task of the academic community to search out distortions and deficiencies and departures from the truth. Are we too timid, or too committed to false kinds of security, to undertake a search for radical truth and morality?Another newspaper report today quotes Kissinger as saying that Nixon persists with the immoral war inVietnam because he fears a right wing revolution (led by Curtis Lemay and Henry Jackson?) if he doesn't. And I thought the trouble with the U.S. was the liberals. Thank you, President Nixon, for protecting mefrom fascists. Voting Residence OLYMPIA-Attorney General Slade Gorton today affirmed a 1946 formalopinion that a college student may establish a voting residence where he or she is attending school. Theattorney general pointed out that under the state constitution, presence alone is not enough to establishvoting residence. The legal requirement is met,however, when presence is combined with a student'sintent to establish that place as home "either permanently or indefinitely for an appreciable period of time." Gorton added that the state of the law on the subject would not be changed if the legislature adopted abill to confirm the legal principles which have been established. State Representative Arthur C. Brown,Chairman of the House Committee on Elections and Apportionment, requested the opinion as a part ofthe committee's consideration of House Bill 382. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, March 5, 1971 Western Front Letters to the Editor All letters to the editor and guest editorials are welcome.

Readers Question Tuition Breakdown Editor: I found your article "Where Your Tuition Dollar Goes" very interesting. I would like to see a follow up to this article with a complete breakdown of where the money actually goes andthe proportions received by speech, intramurals and music. I am particularly concerned that the ASpresident feels that the AS needs a larger share of money from an increased student tuition. The election returns showed that the students at Western are not very enthusiastic about the AS body when onlyabout three per cent of the student body bothered to vote. If it meant keeping the tuition at the presentrate I would prefer that the $63 from my tuition money went to the state and that extra curricular activities paid their own way. I would also be willing to donate money towards a fund to prevent another 'Multi-Arts'festival. Tom Gray Junior Technology Editor's note: Next week we will devote another article to thetuition break down at Western. Hopefully, we can answer some of your questions and some of those inthe letters which follow. Editor: I was very interested in the breakdown shown in your publication of"tuition fees," i.e. $24 towards the academic aspects of our college education, as compared to $31 forhousing of students (does this include non-student spouses?) and finally $61 for student activities. Thisinformation should be made available by you at the beginning of each quarter as I imagine fees rise andpriorities shift. It should also be made known to the student by the registrar in the student's receipt.Having had to overcome an i n t e r e s t i n g a m o u n t of b ureaucratic hurdles towards beingaccepted as a transfer student, I failed to ask for a breakdown of fees, as I should, have. I imagine, many other students make the same mistake. While I would not argue that an increase in "tuition fees" (?) co n s t i t u t e s taxation on education, because: a person's education should be obtained in h i g hschool, b) college attendance is entirely voluntary and, according to my experience at Western,extremely hard to come by, I would certainly agree that collecting lump sum fees and calling them"Tuition" constitutes forced taxation on the part of Western on college education. If I apply for a grant, aloan or a scholarship, I, as a student, have to lie when I state that my tuition amounts to $120 perquarter. Otherwise I am entitled to $24. Should not those of us, who do not find enough time in theirstudy schedule to participate in/or take advantage of student activities be refunded $61 per quarter i.e.,$180 a year, and those of us who provide our own (however more modest housing than what the collegehas to offer) be refunded $31 per quarter, i.e. $93 a year, instead of paying involuntarily for students who wish to avail themselves of the more lavish student facilities? I would, on the other hand, be in favor ofdoubling the $25 that go towards the academic functioning most of us are seeking to continue orimprove, hopefully including competitive salaries for faculty in this budget f i g u r e . This could beaccompanied by an increase in the two other categories for those who are in favor of making use of it.Let's not have taxes on student fee. Helga Mazur senior Editor: We have certain questions concerningan article that appeared in the February 23rd edition of the FRONT. The article describes the basicbreakdown of the $120 quarterly tuition and fees. Of special interest to us is the statement that of this$120, "$31 is given to housing and dining." The reason for our intense interest in this information results from the fact that we reside in off-campus housing. Because we live off-campus we have not beengranted the privilege of enjoying (or so it has been rumored), the services of the three dining halls.Because we live off-campus we are also denied the privilege of staying in the dorm. (That is, of course,other than the twenty hour visitation-which also varies according to how well the resident aides performtheir jobs.) However, we actually should not complain about this situation since we are living off-campus and do not pay for these services anyway. Or do we? What exactly does "$31 given to housingand dining" involve? Although we are not math majors, we can still reason that $31 .per quarter, for fouryears, totals $372 for services which we are not allowed to use. We do sincerely apologize if this $31goes to other housing and dining such as the green houses on top of Haggard Hall or the apple machinein the basement of Old Main. However, if the "$31 given to housing and dining" does, in fact, refer to thedorms such as Nash, and the food services such as Saga, then we would contend that all students living off-campus are being screwedâ€”over to the expense of close to $100 per year. We would greatlyappreciate further clarification of this article, and again, we do a p o l o g i z e if we have misinterpretedthe article due *o a s u d d e n a t t a c k o uncontrollable rage. Todd Christensen Barb Svarny Off-campus students Lucky Recycling Editor: A pat on the back to Lucky Lager for extending its recyclingprogram to Bellingham. After making hauls from Sehome Hill to Seattle the past four months, this Lucky spotter is happy. But a swift kick in the groin goes with the back pat. Lucky turns around and makesmore non-returnable bottles to be tossed away; and only a small percentage of those are re-foundagain. Why doesn't the Lucky company show genuine concern for our environment by removing itselffrom the bottle selling business. I can find another line of work if there are no bottles to pick up. Rex E.Rice Senior Elementary Ed Wants Front Recycled Editor: I have noticed that the Front is becomingmore involved in local environmental issues. However, I feel there is one important aspect so blatantlyobvious that it is hard to realize how you could overlook it. This aspect is the recycling of paper. Inparticular, that of the Western Front. It is my feeling that more of the papers end up in the trash can than in recycling bins. Therefore, WHY NOT: Carry an ecological warning along with the heading of thepaper, perhaps statingâ€”"Please recycle this paper . . . ONE TON OF PAPER IS EQUAL TO 17ACRES OF TREES"? This is standard practice now for many environmentally concerned papers. It ismy hope to see this included in the format of the next Front . . . . Jeff Kronenberg Fairhaven CollegeRequests Support For Vote 18 Editor: I am asking for your school support for an issue which c o n c e r n s you and your generation now. For the last two sessions in the State Legislature, the Governor'sCommission for Youth Involvement has been working on Vote 18. Final passage of the bill will come upon the Senate floor within the next few days. I hope that before that time you and your school canrespond to this letter by publishing it in your school paper or in some other way getting this informationto the students. The key to young people playing an active role in our political system is to becomeaware and involved. Abraham Lincoln once said, "All who assist in bearing the burdens of governmentshould share in its privileges." The Governor's C o m m i s s i o n for Youth Involvement believes this and has been working for the last two legislative sessions to lower the voting age. These young people haveasked me, as Commission chairman, to ask for your help. The Supreme Court ruling has given 18 yearolds the right to vote in Federal elections for President, Vice President, U.S. S e n a t o r , and U . S.Representative. The Washington State Legislature is now in the process of considering a constitutionalamendment to extend the franchise- to 18 year olds to vote in state and local elections. HJR 30, whichwould provide for the 18 year olds vote, passed the House of Representatives with a vote of 83 in favorand 15 against and is now in the Constitutions Committee of the Senate. Although the 18 year old votelooks promising, because of federal action, we cannot be sure of success until the final vote on theSenate floor. Inaction by the Senate would defeat this measure. We are asking that you, as a citizen,support HJR 30 and SJR 21 for Vote 18. This is your chance to change and improve the politicalprocess. We would appreciate your writing to your senator to express your support for the 18 year oldvote in care of the Senate Office Building, Olympia, Washington, 98501. Let him know where you standon this issue; he represents you. A. Ludlow Kramer Secretary of State State of Washington CriticizesArt Show Editor: Before I say anything, take these things into accountâ€”it's only fair that I make youaware of the feelings behind this letter; this is a reaction, a reaction to the show as a manifestation of aprocess unfortunately called Art. Further, this is an observation of the show as a wholeâ€”I do not wishto criticize any of my colleagues as individuals. After all, we are all victims and p a r t i c i p a n t s in the same d e g e n e r a t i v e process of conditioning unfortunately called Education. Finally, I am one ofthose whose work was rejected from this show. Now, confessions made, let us observe a few thingsbriefly. Have you been to any one of these several professional art galleries in the past three or four y ea r s ? Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco, or V a n c o u v e r B.C. (with reservationâ€”Canadiangalleries outclass all but a few in San Francisco). If you have, you'll be happy to know that right here onour campus you can go and expose your naked eyes to a nice lukewarm imitation of a t h i rd rateprofessional art gallery! For comparison, I suggest Dick White's Occidental Gallery. Dick White is one of the leading galleries in sales in Seattle. So what? That's what I'm wonderingâ€”so what? So here weare, God's answer to the future of the world. It's society, it's culture, least of which is contemporaryAmericana. The whole world is striving to get where we are, boy are they in for a surprize . . . and whatdo we come up with here (to get back to our art show)? We invite a nice conservative somebody up from somewhere to tell us what is Art and what is not Art. He paws through our precious things and guesses his best, I'm sure. There is nothing here he hasn't seen before and executed with more fineness andmore originality, etc. There are some things here which reflect care, sensitivity and perhaps even aunique attempt at interpreting a life-time of conditioning. The question is, have we extended that body ofwork which is at least five or six thousand years old, of which we are all its heritors? Or, have we merelyrefined and regurgitated some safe imitations of all the three or four years, of bullshit shackled to ourankles by the comfortable somebodies of the professional art world? Ever wake up and feel like you aresomebody's pension? Think about it, art s t u d e n t . . .. I'm glad my work was rejected. It must mean Ijust d o n ' t measure up to the standard of mediocrity and the suppression of real creativity in theinterest of Status Quo! Too bad P.S. Now, for those of you whose work was accepted who aresupposing that it's easy for me to stand aloof and bellow like some wounded pig who's been left out ofthe penâ€”It's not easy brother, because I love your work, after all I entered my work, too. But what I see beyond us and around us hurts deeply. I feel my roots all the way down to Lascaux and then some. Ifyou really understand and love what you're doing, then you're free enough to laugh and forget what I'vesaid here, and you're free enough to cry for those who are so unaware of themselves that they ape theirclever contemporaries. name withheld by request Rainier Recycling Too The local distributor for RainierBreweries has been chosen to kick-off Rainier's buy back the empties and recycle plan. Theannouncement came one week after Lucky Brewers began buying back their empties in Bellingham.Ken Graham, owner of Bell Rainier Distributors, said that March 22 will be the first day his doors areopen for the empties. But Graham warned that it wouldn't be a good idea to start saving those bottles and cans now. The containers that Rainier will be buying back will not be on the market until March 22. Hesaid that the present Rainier bottle will not stand-up to the recycle process over one time before it beginsto "sliver" at the top. A new bottle, called the "steinie," will go into production on March 15, and Grahamsaid it was being designed to stand the recycle process. Cans will not come into the limelight until laterthis year when Rainier changes their present tin cans over to aluminum. The distributor said that Rainierhas searched but failed to find a good use for the tin cans. Changing them to aluminum, the firm will buythe cans from the public and then sell them back to Reynolds Aluminum Company for recycling.

TIMBERRR... High winds nearly uprooted an evergreen adjacent to theRidgeway Omego dormitory so campus maintenance cut it down. The tree outwitted the maintenancemen and twisted as it fell, thumping down on the Omega roof. by John Unger Tokyo, Jap an-Seven-year-old Seiichi Yasuda of the heavily industrialized city of Yokkaichi, Japan, recently collapsed andsuffocated despite doctors' attempts to revive him. The cause of death, according to city authorities: airpollution. Young Seiichi, an asthma sufferer since age three, became Yokkaichi's 41st official pollutionfatality. The mounting casualty figures in Yokkaichi suggest the increasing danger of breathing Japanese air. On the day that Seiichi died, Japan's second largest city, Osaka, issued its first smog alert. Andwithin three days, in the smog-bound city of Kawasaki, the air claimed a new victim, Mrs. Natsuko Hojo,the 28-year-old mother of two children. Due to rapid industrialization, air pollution is a serious problem inmany areas of Japan. Tokyo presents the most striking example. During one smoggy week in July, over8,000 people were treated in Tokyo hospitals for severe eye and skin irritation and other pollution-induced ailments. Tokyo traffic policemen do not stay at busy crossroads longer than 30 minutes, and 40junctions have oxygen machines available. The number of private cars in Tokyo has doubled in the pastthree years, and the resulting increase in hydrocarbon pollutants has created a white "photochemicalsmog." To make matters worse, the Japanese oil industry adds benzene and toluene to the cheapergrades of gasoline, and the resultant chemical exhausts are converted into poisonous gases by the sun's ultra-violet rays. Such disregard for the welfare of the Japanese people typifies the country's industry. For example, Japanese automobile manufacturers equip cars exported to the U.S. with exhaust controldevices, but follow no such restraints in their own domestic market. Concern, outrage, and protest aremounting among the Japanese almost as rapidly as the thickening air. According to a poll conducted bythe Japanese government in January, 52 per cent of the residents in the Tokyo and Osaka metropolitanareas are convinced that they are suffering from the effects of pollution. And a third of those polledblamed the pollution on the weak measures taken by the central and local governments. However, theprospects for effective anti-pollution restrictions are slim, for the government is slow to regulate theindustrial machine which has brought Japan to a position of world power. Controls on industrial wastes in Japan are similarly lacking. In the port of Fuji, 380 pulp and paper factories are spewing untreatedwastes and sludge at such a rate that not only are fish being killed, but the harbor must continuously bedredged. Cadmium poisoning, which affects the liver and kidneys and eventually makes bones soft andpainful, has taken over 100 lives since it was first discovered in the early 1950's. Yet as recently as thisApril another case of industrial cadmium poisoning was cited. Over three hundred acres of pasture landand rice paddies around the Nippon Mining Company's zinc refinery have been quarantined due tocadmium poisoning. But the refining goes on. In the fishing town of Minamata, 46 people have beenkilled and over 70 paralyzed or blinded over the past' 20 years. The cause has been mercury poisoning,yet the Nippon Nitrogen Company continues to discharge its mercury waste into the bay. Thegovernment has mirrored the indifference of the company. For 8 years, from 1961 to 1968, Japan'sEconomic Planning Agency suppressed a report which demonstrated that the plant's effluents werelethal. The families of the Minamata victims have engaged in militant demonstrations and sit-ins thathave captured the attention of the Japanese public. In the absence of government intervention, theyrecently began a drive to buy control of stock in the offending chemical company as a desperate meansto end the poisoning. Escalating public concern and the opposition parties' goading obliged PrimeMinister Sato to convene an extraordinary session of the Diet on November 24 to pass a dozen anti-pollution laws. But government and business in Japan work hand in glove, as in the U.S., and the lawsalready on the books are not often enforced. In November a major U.S. copper company concluded anagreement to shift its most polluting operations to Japan, explicitly to avoid U.S. anti-pollution laws.Sato's government has decided that an industrial park for some of Japan's worst polluters would beestablished on South Korea's south shore. Sato's Liberal-Democratic Party will not be willing to institutepolicies such as strict pollution controls, which put heavy financial burdens on Japanese industrialactivities. As a result, the surging Japanese economy will likely triple in the coming decade. Butthoughtful Japanese are already wary of their impending prosperity, for as the wits in Tokyo have it, inJapanese GNP means Gross National Pollution.

Lounge 9 p.m.-midnight ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, March 5, 1971 Western Front 7 The Environment Controversy Refinery Manager Says ARCO isClean Industry By BOB BURNETT The Atlantic Richfield Company has considered every aspect ofenvironmental quality concerning its proposed effluent outlet diffuser and the use of super-tankers nearBellingham, according to Jack Racine, manager of ARCO's Cherry Point refinery. "We, as a companyand as i n d i v i d u a l s , feel a definite responsibility for being a good operator," Racine said in aninterview last Friday. "Air and water conservation practices are a part of good business. We want to beresponsible operators and good neighbors." ARCO has met with opposition from American and Canadian environmentalists in its efforts to obtain a permit to dump up to 3.7 million gallons per day of treatedwaste material into the Straits of Georgia from an underwater outlet diffuser at the refinery's Cherry Pointdocking facility. Several members of Western's Environmental Action Commission (EAC) and officialsclose to the Lummi's Aqua-Culture Project have expressed concern that the waste materials would behazardous to the Lummi's industry. The project is located seven miles from the diffuser site and issupported by state tax funds. Racine said that tests conducted since 1955 by existing refineries inWhatcom and Skagit counties indicate that waste discharged into area waters has had no effect on plant or animal sea life. "Marine life has been unaffected, and some people report it has been enhanced," hesaid. ARCO plans to conduct a follow-up marine bio-studies every two years. Ted Boss, chairman of the EAC feared that tides and currents would w a s h ARCO's waste to the aqua-culture project. Racinesaid that a federal oceanographic agency conducted surveys less than two years ago and wasapparently satisfied that tides and currents would not present-a hazard. Racine, who has been achemical engineer with ARCO for 29 years, explained that ARCO has invested $18.5 million in pollutioncontrol equipment for the Cherry Point refinery. He said some of the equipment would also save ARCOmoney by recycling some of the wastes, but that the money saved would not approach the originalinvestment. ARCO will use the latest developments in controlling gaseous hydro-carbon leakage andodors. These range from seals on compressors and pumps that handle the hydro-carbons to sulfurrecovery and treatment facilities, floating roof and storage tanks, and smokeless emergency release flare venting stacks. ARCO will use 3.6 million gallons of water per day from the Nooksack River for coolingits finished gasoline. The product must be cooled from 200 degrees Fahrenheit to 80 degrees Fahrenheit before it can be stored. This is accomplished by circulating 70-degree water through a lattice work ofpipes in a cooling tank through Which the gasoline flows. The water temperature is raised to 120 degrees in the process, while the gasoline's temperature is lowered to storage temperature. The water isrecycled and re-cooled an average of 18 times before it is discharged. Half of the water evaporates during the process, but this loss is bolstered by ships' ballast water and rainfall that is collected from one ofthe refinery's two drainage systems. Before it is discharged, however, the water is treated to restore itsoxygen content. During the process, organic material is deposited in the water. The organic materialoxidizes, causing the water to lose its oxygen-making it "dead" water. Two stages restore the oxygen: - t h e first consists of a chemical clarification process where residual bacteria eats the organic materialand sludge settles to the bottom of a holding pond. The sludge is collected every several years.Sometimes it is used for fertilizers. - t h e second phase consists of aerating the water to restore theoxygen after the oxygen-depleting elements have been removed. "The name of the game is to keep theoxygen content up," Racine said. During the oxygenation process, the water is heated to facilitate thebacteria's work. When it is diffused through the underwater outlet, it will be 35 degrees warmer than thesurrounding water. Racine said that the relative acidity in the discharged effluent would be between 7.8and 8.5 on a 14-point scale. Some "drinking water is up to 8.5, he said. Oil and grease wastes willamount to roughly 10 parts per million of the total waste. Racine said this was a nearly undetectableamount and that it would be invisible. Chemical surveyers are satisfied that it would not harm sea life, he said. Sulfides and mercaptans constitute half a part per million of the total wastes, while most of therest of the waste material already exists in normal sea water. Although sulfur normally exists in seawater, Racine said ARCO would conduct periodic follow-up tests of the sulfur-dioxide content in the areato determine "what we are, or are not contributing." ARCO's proposed discharge meets therequirements of the state, but must also meet the requirements of the federal Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA) which have not yet been set. ARCO obtained a permit from the state ecology departmentlast May, but must also obtain a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which is under therestrictions to be set by the EPA. Over 1,200 letters were received by the Corps asking for a publichearing before ARCO is granted a permit. ARCO must answer the concerns presented in these letters,and the Corps must answer to the EPA before a permit is issued. Racine said that hearings should take place when government agencies are setting the standards, but that a hearing on "each permit isunnecessary." Racine said that Washington obtains 47 per cent of its energy from oil and gasâ€”most of which must be imported. The national average is 75 per cent, he said. ARCO has planned to build arefinery in Washington for 15 years, he said. The first location was to be on Kayak Point in SnohomishCounty, but a zoning delay caused the company to set their sights at Whatcom County. A request for a zoning change was denied by a Snohomish superior court. Racine said that it was possible thatgasoline prices in the state might be reduced in view of the local production. However, prices are set bytaxes, market competition, the price of the raw materials and the manufacturing cost. Jack Racine Theconstruction phase of the Cherry Point refinery is 35 per cent completed. Contracters currently employ1,800 persons on the site. Racine said that most of these people are from Washington, but few are fromt h e Bellingham area because "Whatcom County doesn't have a population large enough to support awork force of this size. About 2,800 persons will be employed during the summer months," he said. Therefinery will begin operation in late summer and will go into full operation late in 1971. It will employ 300persons, 275 of whom will be hired locally. The first contingent of 25 persons went to work yesterday.ARCO will bolster, the county economy with 1,200 acres worth of property taxes each year. WhenARCO's refinery goes into full operation, it will require 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day. According toRacine, the most economical method of transporting the crude from Alaska is by super-tankers in the125,000-ton category. An alternative proposal of an "overland bridge" to refineries in the Chicago area iseconomically unfeasible and would not benefit the needs of the West Coast. Racine minimized thechance of a major oil spill from a tanker because Puget Sound offers deep and shoal-free channels andharbors. It is also relatively uncrowded by shipping due to its large area. In case of a spill, however,Racine said "ARCO's sense of responsibility" will pay for any damages. "If we have a spill, we'll see thatit is taken care of," he said. The federal government provides penalties of $100 per gross ton and $14million per ship accident. There is an $8 million shore liability. "The State of Washington has anunlimited liability law," he said. All Campus Sewage South of Old Main Dumped Raw Into Bellingham'sHarbor By GLEN JONES . Front Reporter Why is it that the Ridgeway dorms pollute while Nash andMathes halls do not? Bellingham civil engineer Ron Ellis explained that the city's sewer pipes divide onthe crest of Sehome Hill, separating Western's sewage north and south because there's simply too much of it for one treatment plant to handle. All sewage going north from that boundary flows into the primarytreatment plant downtown, while the southern lines meet with the rest of south Bellingham's waste andempty raw into Puget Sound, he said. Campus physical plant coordinator Dave Anderson gave furtherexplanation of this odd arrangement. He attributed the situation to rapid growth in Bellingham over thepast several years. "All of Western's sewage used to go north to be treated, but we had to re-route muchof it in 1955 because there were just too many buildings on campus," Anderson said, Anderson, whohas worked in the physical plant for 18 years, gave the following breakdown Sewage Treated BookstoreEdens Hall Higginson Hall Highland I Mathes Hall Music Auditorium Nash Hall Old Main (north half)Viking Commons Viking Union 4 -V lt; lt;â€¢% lt;Â»â€¢* lt;Â»J * 'â€¢*'â€¢ Sewage Dumped RawArt Bldgs.

Ellis informed a reporter that the State of Washington Water Pollution Control Commissionhas recently been applying pressure and setting time tables for several municipalities, includingBellingham. He said that several sets of plans for a new treatment plant in south Bellingham have beentabled. One such redesigning study calls for a new $8-12 million sewage complex which would beshared in cost by both the city of Bellingham and Georgia Pacific. This plant would have the capacity toalleviate all the current sewage overload and allow for some future growth, Ellis said. Whatever final plans are selected, Ellis said a new treatment plant should be in full operation in 1973, and the pollutionproblems would be curbed , , , /pjftBjljilgliajn B a y , , , , , , . , , , . ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 8 ---------- Western Front Friday, March 5, 1971 used I catalog service MAKE YOUR OWN DEAL* BUY ORSELL YOUR USED BOOKS THROUGH THIS FREE SERVICE.

The band consists of (from left to right) Delaney Jenkins, Denny Jenkins, DwightMack, Solomon Harris, Tony Gable and Keith Hooks. Photo By RON GRAHAM There are many younggifted and black students here at Western ranging from basketball players to artists to musicians.Basketball players and artists utilize their skills and talents, while musicians use the forementioned andneed sponsors and equipment. One such band exists here on campus, "The Funk Experience." Thegroup consists of five young men from Tacoma and one from Seattle. The five all graduated from StadiumHigh School and have known each other for several years. Denny Jenkins (lead guitar) his brotherDelaney (electric bass) and Solomon Harris (drums) have been playing in and out of bands for three years and are experienced musicians. Keith Hooks, sings lead vocals. Latin percussion is made up by myself (congas) and Dwight Mack (timbales). Some of the band members rapped about problems in the group."It's really bad for us when we play," says Delaney, "because we're looking for a really good sound butwithout good equipment we might as well hang it up." "We can't sound as good as we should becausewe're playing on inferior equipment." Solomon explains; "There are three things I'm looking forward to.One is a new drum set, I want us to get more gigs in and out of Bellingham, last I want us to becomesuccessful. The money doesn't matter with me, just getting on a record label and having "boo coo" (a lotof) equipment is cool." "Dig, like at practice," raps Denny "often my amp goes out and Solomon's footpedal and cymbals are practically deteriorating. Things like this discourage us. It's a shame that we don't have the money to get equipment or the contacts that most white bands have. If only we could get anequal chance we could prove ourselves." The message from the black musician is clear. Whether you dig soul, jazz or rock, every band has the right to be able to make it. This article is not a beg or a plea it isjust to let you know that the band that you see and hear, with all the expensive equipment may not bethe best. A poor band with excellent equipment does not make an excellent band. On the other hand ifyou take a bank like "Funk Experience" and combine excellent equipment, the combination is"superbad" (good). Maybe you'll get a chance to experience some real funk. Later. AS Might FileCharges Over Pound Controversy The AS Legislature may file "criminal charges" against the BellinghamCity Council and Mayor Reg Williams concerning the recent controversy over the city pound. LegislatorRich Hass submitted a bill to the legislature Tuesday which directed Western's legal aids office "toinvestigate filing criminal charges" against the city officials. Hass cited "neglect" of conditions at the citypound as a reason for the AS-sponsored action. City Poundmaster George Moore has been at odds with the city for several weeks concerning the pound. He has said that the city "is dragging its feet" incorrecting conditions at the pound. The Hass bill was sent to the student welfare committee forconsideration and it is expected to come before the legislature at the next meeting. The legislature turned down requests for money from Western's debate and sailing teams to attend national gatherings. Thedebate team has asked for $1,500 to send 10 debaters to the Pi Kappa Delta (PKD) National Tournament in Houston, Texas, but that figure was cut to $500 by the fiscal management committee. Western'sViking Yacht Club asked the legislature to pledge $500 to help send 10 top sailors to the invitationalKennedy Cup Regatta sponsored by the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The request failed. Thelegislature appropriated $100 from the contingency fund to send representative Gerald Mikesell from theAmerican Indian Student Union (AISU) to research the Menominee Indian Reservation' in Wisconsin!Legislator Joe McConkey summed up the attitude of the legislature in approving the AISU's request andtailing the other two requests. In his opinion, it was the responsibility of the legislature to spend moneyon things that benefitted a large number of persons rather than those that benefitted only a few. In otherlegislative action, Craig Cole was appointed to a second consecutive year as AS Housing Commissionerand new regulations concerning the use of SCAN line phones were passed. SCAN phones will belocated in five offices throughout the Viking Union, and only calls made "for official AS businesspertaining to AS-sponsored activities or business" will be authorized. Persons who make unauthorizedcalls would be subject to "appropriate action" which might include bringing charges before the collegejudiciary, loss of phone privileges or impeachment in the case of elected officials. The legislature passeda bill amending the rules for a general election which make it illegal for candidates to use AS or collegesupplies, materials, secretarial services or stationery without making arrangements to reimburse the AS. Candidates breaking the regulation would be disqualified .and any AS official who allows any candidateto misuse AS or college funds for their campaign "will immediately be fired or removed from office."McConkey submitted a bill which would allow students to have access to teachers' evaluations and would set up a procedure whereby each instructor would be evaluated at least once each qiiaVter;. .,- '-.â€¢'â€¢ ;' gt;'â€¢ â€¢ 'â€¢â€¢ â€¢â€¢' gt; '.â€¢.â€¢-. lt;-,â€¢â€¢ v 1 '. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, March 5, 1971 Western Front 9 Language House: Living and Learning By BOB McLAUCHLANThe next time you walk by Fairhaven College, stop by building number six. You may find a five footRussian flag on one of the balconies, a French, German, or Spanish slogan on the windows. Or if youhappen to venture over there on a Sunday at about 7 p.m., you might hear some strange music whichsounds like an accordion sending out folk vibes. You are 100 per cent correct. It is Tom Tilton on theaccordion and about 30 other foreign language students singing and dancing to various foreign folk,tunes. Tilton is a German-language student who spent several months in Germany. Although, thesestudents are living at Fairhaven, most of them are Western students living in the never-ceasing gaiety ofthe foreign language house. Even faculty members find time to visit and join in the singing and dancing. " T h e r e is a lot of f a c u l t y - s t u d e n t close-knit relationships at the house," a spokesman said. The main languages spoken in the house are French, German, Spanish and Russian; but there aresome people who speak Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, and next quarter someone is moving into thelanguage house who speaks Dutch. Although, there is much singing and laughter, the main purpose ofthe foreign language house is to give people a better understanding of the language and languageculture. "If is designed to get the language and language culture out of the classroom, bring it into aliving situation and also to take pressure off the college academic atmosphere," Chris McGlouthlin, theresident aide, pointed out. There are not any set hours when a person speaks his language. A personmay speak a language if he wants or speak English. Conversation classes are held nightly. Eachlanguage has a specified night and time for the class. The classes are "conducted in a completelyrelaxed atmosphere." Many films are shown in the various languages. These films range from cartoonsto travel films. Next quarter the language house will have a native French speaker living there. She isFlorence Mantiel, a French girl who is presently teaching high school in Indiana. Miss Mantiel speaksSpanish as well. Even though the foreign language house is a Western project, rules are the same asFairhaven. The language house is the only dormitory in both colleges which has both males andfemales living on the same floor. If anyone is interested in living at the foreign language house or has any questions about it, you can contact Chris McGlouthlin at 676-5163, Doug Padget at 676-5160, DaleBattson at 676-4469 or you can contact the foreign language department in the Humanities Photo ByRON LITZENBERGER Building. Students in the house pointed out the simplicity of transferring to theforeign language house from another dormitory. It can be arranged with the Housing Office. The idea ofthe foreign language house was conceived by students last year and became a reality this past fallquarter. It is run by students. A language house spokesman said that more people are needed who areinterested in this type of setting. 360Â° Sound 26 Projectors til A ^Mfccs 8:30 PM Tuesday, March 9,1971 WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE CARVER GYM TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW m ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, March 5, 1971 ZAHI F. HADDAD Campus Forum Should There Be aDemocratic Palestinian State in the Middle East Today? JACKIE LAWSON A Palestinian View: AJewish View: We are sufficiently accustomed by now to the news of continuous mayhem and fiercepassions from the Middle East; and with the emergence over the last four years of the Palestinianguerrillas and people as a new entity and force to be reckoned with before a solution is sought andpeace achieved, the world is suddenly reminded of an added complication and a great irony about theArab-Israeli conflict: that the present state of tension stems exclusively from the plight that befell thePalestinians twenty-three years ago. But up until 1967, the world chose to forget that the problembelonged to those people; that they were the ones whose lives were most devastatingly affected by itand to whom offers for a solution should have been addressed, not to the Syrians, the Egyptians andother Arabs. Those latter had not lost their homelands, their territories, their dignity and been forced tolive in refugee camps in abject poverty a few miles (in some cases a few yards) away from their towns,villages, orchards and all the intangible realities they once loved. Now the Palestinians are on the scene, and determinedâ€”to fight, to talk, to reason, to listen. The Palestinian Revolution has officially adoptedthe creation of a democratic, non-sectarian Palestine where Christians, Jews and Moslems can live,work and worship without discrimination as the ultimate objective of its liberation struggle. Undoubtedly,the establishment of a progressive open society for all the Palestinians is the only humanitarian andpermanent solution to the problem. It is certainly superior to "throwing the Arabs to the desert," or"throwing the Jews in the sea." The revolutionary change in attitude on the part of the Palestinians maybe observed in the fact that the revolutionary Palestinians do not see the Jews as monsters, pigmies,supermen or as eternal enemies. They clearly identify their enemy as the racist-colonialist state of Israeland its western allies. Racist chauvinistic solutions epitomized by the "throw-the-Jews-in-the-sea"slogan have been categorically rejected, to be replaced by the goal of creating the new DemocraticPalestine. It should be quite obvious that the new Democratic Palestine is not simply the occupied West Bank, or the Gaza Strip, or both. It is not a hodge-podge state carved put of any.of. . these, or anabsurd puppet state subservient to anyone. It is the Palestine of Pre-1948. Our record of persecutionagainst the Jews prior to the inception of the Zionist dream is clean. Our traditions lack any overttendency to discriminate against minorities that stems from prejudice of race or color. In fact, at the firststages of the influx of Jewish immigrants into Palestine, there was a kind of sympathy shown by Arabstoward the Jews; and even in the thirties and well into the forties, after Mr. Balfour felt it the right of theBritish people to take from the Palestinian people and give to the Jewish people, the two communitiesstill managed to live side by side despite harassments and acts of terrorism. But the Western world, in a hurry to rid its mind of the abominable deeds it committed against the Jews and the tragedy of theconcentration camps, opted to turn a blind eye to the plight of the refugees fleeing into the surroundingcountries in 1948 and persisted from then on to inflict historical reality to suit the issues as viewed froma Zionist standpoint. I find it repugnant that the people of Israel would consider themselves so ethnicallyand religiously elitist that they would carve out a society founded on these lines. The Jewish dream (thereturn to Palestine and Jerusalem) does not surely have to be synonymous with the Zionist dream. Theformer could still be perpetuated with the repatriation of the refugees without loss to the identity andcharacter of the Jewish people and their community. The latter is anathema to us. In a sense, we are not the Jewish people scattered all around in a mini diaspora of our own, and vow never to forget theeJerusalem, either. For more than two decades we have adamantly refused to be integrated in out hostcountries, accept houses and monetary compensation offered by the United Nations and shouldered themost degrading forms of persecution. The Israeli government had continually refused to concede that weexisted, that we breathed and yearned for our homes and dignity, that we suffered, that we were notgoing to be subjected to an indefinite reliance on the Arab states and that now, four years after emerging from the mud of DP camps, we are still breathing but doing well and no longer sitting under a treewaiting for Godot. Zahi F. Haddad Palestine The question of creating a separate Palestinian state in. the Middle East is one that has been rehashed for decades. The feasibility of such a move is questionable. At present, the Palestinians are feeling the after-effects of the Six Day War, which took place nearly four years ago. Palestine terrorist organizations, the most powerful and ravaging being the fedayeen, havebecome an autonomous power since 1967. They have not, as yet, succeeded in their aim to uprootIsrael from occupied territories and annihilate her as a state, and there is no reason to think they willsucceed in the future. The information spewed forth from the other terrorist organizations, specifically the Al Fatah Propaganda machine, concerning a secular Palestine in which Moslems, Christians, and Jews will live peacefully side by side is absurd, for it should be realized that most of the 2,500,000 Jews ofIsrael would be excluded from such a state. Both Palestinians and Israelis are presently in the midst ofone of the most horrendous identity crises yet to occur. What must be understood, however, is thereason for this loss of identity, specifically on the part of the Israelis. Let me take you back to May,1945. Hitler's Germany has just been crushed by allied forces and German military leaders are signingterms of u n c o n d i t i o n a l surrender at Eisenhower's quarters in northeastern France. Hitler andNazism have been abruptly and thankfully stopped, but what of repercussions from past atrocities?Stumbling from such slaughter houses as Auschwitz, Dauchau, and Treblinka are the remnants of theJewish inhabitants of eastern, central, and western Europe. Gassed, beaten, humiliated; the epitome ofhuman degradation, the Jews are at long last free from Nazi terrorism and maniacal genocide.Liberated, ironically, by the British, they are herded from death camps to displaced persons (DP)campsâ€”from barbed wire to barbed wire, from living hell to living hell. Once situated in DP camps theyare left to rot, for no one in the world is willing to house these millions of refugees from war-tornGermany. They are consistently denied access to the Promised Land, Eretz Yisrael. The Haganah,Jewish underground, works furiously ,tp, illegally ship these degraded, but not totallv beaten, survivors ofNazi horror to Israel. Various attempts fail, blocked by the same British who were liberators atGermany's defeat. It is not until the now-famous blockade runner "Exodus," forced to resort to threats ofhunger strikes and self-destruction, is allowed to dock in Israel, that the Jews finally reach the PromisedLand. The turning point is reached and the land of Milk and Honey is open for immigration. No soonerhad the Jews settled in the new land, than the Arabs began firing from the borders, emphatically andbitterly declaring all the while that Israel was not, in fact, the Jewish homeland. Therefore, in view of theabove facts, the validity of the following claim can readily be seen. Peace in the Middle East can only be defined as the recognition on the part of the Arabs as to the legitimacy of Israel. Speaking again of aseparate Palestinian state, where Jews and Arabs can live peacefully side by side, consider for amoment a statement made by George Antonius, one of the leading scholars of Arab nationalism. Heended his book The Arab Awakening in 1938 with this warning: "The logic of facts is inexorable. It shows that no room can be made in Palestine for a second nation except by dislodging or exterminating thenation in possession." Because the Arabs have behaved . according to this formula, events have tendedto prove Antonius right. What the entire situation boils down to is this: Israel and Palestine will neverreach a state of co-existence until the actual existence of each entity is recognized. Aggressive acts onthe part of both sides can only hinder prospective peace, yet I cannot help but feel amazement at Arabterrorism and aggression. To strike a wounded dog is one thing. In 1948 Israel and the Jews wereindeed wounded if not downright flattened. In 1971, however, and even in 1967 the Israelis proved, to theArabs, the world, but more important, to themselves, that they are indeed the superior power in theMiddle East; militarily, and spiritually. To even attempt to tangle with a . people so instilled with ancientfaith, remembrances of past horrors, and visions of more barbed wire is insanity. Israel and Palestine live side by side? Unforeseeable to this writer. In lieu of the past histories of both countries, it is fair toassume that . .neither ,wi.U .give. an..inch, .let alone a. mile.

Box 191Phoenix, Arizona 85001 Affiliated with The American Management Association Campus Briefs StudentLoans The State Senate is considering legislation to authorize a Washington State student loan program, Sen. Jonathan Whetzel said Friday. The Seattle Republican has introduced a bill to create the loanprogram and also a constitutional amendment to allow the state to make such loans. Senate Bill 840would establish a $250 million revolving fund to operate on the same basis as the federally insured student loan program, Whetzel said. Under the legislation currently in the Senate Committee on HigherEducation and Libraries, a student would be eligible to borrow up to $1,500 per year and have from five to10 years to repay the loan. Whetzel listed four reasons for introducing the bill: â€”The economic crisis ofthe state has reduced revenue available for appropriations to state institutions of public education. -Thereduction in state funds available requires an increase in tuition fees to cover the costs of highereducation. â€”The tuition increase makes it more difficult for low-income students to go to college. -Increases in tuition makes it necessary for private schools to turn away students who_are then throwninto the public colleges. Hitchhiking Bill Legislation is pending in the House Judiciary Committee to strike all prohibitions on hitchhiking except two. HB 926, introduced by Rep. Jeff Douthwaite (D-Seattle) would legalize hitchhiking but prohibit standing in the roadway itself, Steve. Strong, a Douthwaite aide, said in a press release. Local authorities in areas surrounding penal institutions would still be able to prohibithitchhiking within three miles of such institutions. The Bellingham Police Department started a clamp-down on hitchhiking in the college vicinity fall quarter 1969. Bellingham Police Chief. Cecil Klein saidWednesday that penalties for hitchhiking vary with the circumstances and that fines are imposed by thejudge hearing the case. Legal Aids Sticky finger syndrome is providing an abundance of business for the AS legal aids office. Shoplifting charges against Western students are followed closely m number bytraffic tickets and advice on divorce and contracts, says John McDonell spokesman for the legalassistance group. He added that the new 24-hour service group is averaging three cases during the dayand about five cases every night. During the night the group gets the more immediate type of problemsinvolving shoplifting or drugs. McDonell explained that legal aids is trying to expand their services andthat they have sent letters to such groups as the Young Lawyers Section of the Seattle-King County BarAssociation for suggestions and advice. He said that representatives of Western's legal aids grouprecently met with members of the Whatcom County Bar Association to discuss the possibility ofobtaining legal assistance from that group. If the program can be established it would depend on thenumber of local attorneys who would volunteer to participate. McDonell said he had talked to the vicepresident of the Bar Association and quoted him as saying that if nothing else, the two groups should get together to help reduce the "town-gown gap." Students should be aware of a free legal service provided by the county every Thursday in the courthouse, McDonell said. He added that the service is not "longterm" and that he would encourage students to come to the AS legal aids before going. Campus By-Pass The West Campus Way By-pass, plagued by delays, will not open for at least two weeks. The by-pass, once scheduled for completion at the beginning of winter quarter,was to open this Thursday. But,because several things have to be done to it, the by-pass will not open until about March 18, according to Barney Goltz, director of campus planning. The city decided that the sight distance does not meet the192 feet regulation. This is the distance a car at the stop sign on Garden Street is able to see a carcoming down the by-pass. Bob Aegerter, a campus architect, said that the contractor did not build theroads according to geometry. The geometry and sight distance are not exactly right, he said. Tocompensate for this, the retaining wall on the side of the by-pass will be trimmed down to meet the sightdistance regulations. The by-pass project cost the college $357,000. Blue-Slips The registrar's officerecently announced that "blue slips" for admittance to filled classes will no longer be given to students atthe Registration Center. The "admit to class slips" will be available in the department office. Theregistrar asks that before students obtain a "blue slip" that they check with the department office (ext.3309) to ascertain the current enrollment, room capacity and availability of other sections that may stillbe open.

Amosoff, translated from the Russianby George St. George. New York: Simon and Schuster, c. 1970. 374 pp. Technology, Medicine, SocialInstitutions: Is man's primary drive toward order and "progress" really the drive to cheat death? Do wethink and sweat and build simply to put off facing the moment our biological selves cease to function?Are our patterns of life based on the fear of non-existence? Do we want to live, or merely not to die?Anabiosis. The technique of slowing the metabolic process, through freezing, to near-zero, then "melting" the subject back to life. Suspended animation, "to use the science-fiction terminology. This is sciencefiction, but one gets the impression it will soon be fact. Nikolai Amosoff, author of "Notes from theFuture," is one of Russia's most respected medical scientists and theoreticians. Amosoff s hero,physiologist Ivan Nikolaevich Prokhoroff, knowing he is dying of leukemia, constructs the anabioticmodel, has the machinery built, subjects himself to the method, is re-awakened 22 years later, in theRussia of 1991, and cured of his leukemia. Death cheated once. Amosoff the scientist spends the firsthalf of the book primarily explaining the theory of anabiosis. To me (admittedly an unsophisticatedamateur in the field of science) the theory seems reasonable and practicable. But "Notes from theFuture" is more than a fictional presentation of a physiological theory. Fascinating as the description ofanabiosis is, its primary function in the novel is that of vehicle for the author to the Russia of 20 yearshence. The meat of the book is in the author's projection of Society 1991 and in Ivan Prokhoroff'semotional and philosophical adjustment to that strange new world. The Age of Human Management.Chemical manipulation of the psyche. Undesirable trait? Shock treatment, chemical rebalancing, dreamsuggestion will take care of it. Cut off the sex drive during rehabilitation period. Makes a personconcentrate more thoroughly on the task at hand. Man and the Machine. Many people still forced toperform mind-deadening tasks while machines become more and more intelligent, capable of abstractthinking, of adding on their own to their stores of knowledge, of constructing theories. Some even havebeen built to include emotional biases: synthetic living brains. Robot babysitters. Children subjected toinstitutionalized educative process from birth. "Your child does not belong to you. He belongs to society." Food mechanically cooked and served. Balanced diet for everyone. "Happy pills" to ward off depression,make people more susceptible to social control. No more evil or crime, only malfunctioning systems.Engineering problems, not moral ones. War? Done away with. The threat of the superweapons has madeit unthinkable, like cannibalism and slavery. A thing of the barbaric past. Jealousy and murder still exist,however. Unfortunate psychosystem aberrations. Man is perfectible, just like any other machine. Justiron out the bugs . . . but all machines rust eventually. The perpetual motion machine is a theoretical.impossibility. Immortality an unattainable dream. And death must be faced again . . . when? Work, forthe night is coming, when man works no more. A futile work, it seems, killing time, until it kills you. Andwhen you face death you face it alone, as always, no televisions or flying machines or technologicalgadgets of any kind to help you. When you die you die. Amosoff is, at least by reputation, one of theworld's leading scientists. As such, he should be well aware of the directions in which science andtechnology are headed. And as such we can ascribe more importance and reliability to his views of thefuture than we would if he were only a science fiction writer. He writes about things which are not butwhich are, in his scientific estimation, surely coming. It is, to me at least, a rather frightening, if notsurprising, view: a continuation and magnification of the present reliance on mass technology, tighter and tighter social control, less and less restraint on the human manipulation of the human animal, more andmore intolerance of individuality, pressure toward sameness, while we wallow in unceasingly increasingpiles of information which can never be integrated. All these false constructs built out of fear, to avoid the unavoidable. If we live and act in fear of death, we never live. If we live for life we have no need tooverextend ourselves technologically, to take life from the living planet in futile effort to stave off our ownend. Personal death is a part of balance, to be neither courted nor unduly avoided. Where death isunnecessary we must try to eliminate it, but we must all face the fact that we will die. And when weoveruse machines, which are dead things; when we become too used to destroying non-human forms oflife; we lose part of our capability for living and step closer to death. Can we still just live, or are wecaught already in the mechanical claw? * * * If you are the kind of person who looks for people in yournovels, perhaps "Notes from the Future" is not for you. People live and love and. die (we are told) in thebook, but there is no feeling for any one of them. These people are not flesh and blood; they are models."Notes from the Future" is not a work of art. It is a work of ideas. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 13 ---------- 3y, iviarc n o, ARTS ENTERTAINMENT A Play Review Gingham Dog Bites in L-l By JODYDOWDALL In the Old Main theatre this week the Speech Department is presenting its latest major play,The Gingham Dog, by Lanford Wilson. Although most good playwrights suffer when produced by collegegroups, Western's production suffers the opposite fate, the actors and the director both handicapped by a weak script that is hard to overcome. When they dq, it is well worth the effort, and the play achievessome real value. Lanford Wilson describes his work as "a play of racial tension." It isn't, though, notcompletely. Mr. Wilson can't seem to be able to decide whether he is a tragic or comic writer. Actors Bill Treadwell and Betty Gulledge, therefore, have to wait through half an act of good, but distracting one linegags before they can get down to the serious business of breaking up their interracial marriage. The restof act one is very powerful, and Miss Gulledge and Mr. Treadwell transcend the often insipid dialogue and get very, very heavy. Their task is not made* any easier by Lynne Whittal as the husband's sister, whohas not brought enough depth to the character to erase the cliches and b u t t e r m i l k saturating herlines, nor the monotonous qualities of her accent and pitch. Chuck Flickinger, in the other supportingrole, seemed more comfortable in his role, very laid back and sometimes difficult to hear. Mr. Flickingeris being misused in a role that is dwarfish and shallow. The set for The Gingham Dog is a masterpiece,realistic to a degree that Mr. Wilson can never hope to be, but fortunately Miss Gulledge and Mr.Treadwell, directed by Thomas Napiecinski, save the play from obscurity and triviality. Given these fewfaults the cast of The Gingham Dog can be complimented on a job well done. Speaking of Lp's KENRITCHIE Record Commentator Among the new releases for March will be the third Crosby, Stills, Nashand Young album, FOUR WAY STREET, a two lp set. Another James Taylor album.

Styne has in the past done, Three Coins in the Fountain, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, TheBells are Ringing, and Funny Girl. This latest effort of his has me wondering, Styne describes the firstrape scene as " . . . a real show stopper." This is a musical comedy? Next we will have Kate Smithjoining the cast of Hair. . . . wouldn't that really give you a rush . . . Kate Smith singing selections fromHair . . . far oot as my Canadian friends would say. . . . I just got really spaced out on the idea of KateSmith, whom I dearly love, making the jump from 1940-type music to the new rock. I think she could doit. What a generation bridger! I'll work on that after the quarter ends. How did we get on the subject ofKate S m i t h . . . oh yeah, Jule Styne and his rape-musical-comedy-show-stopper. * * * * According to the latest Billboard, the Beatles made about 10.5 million in 1970, they ain't hurting for coins. McCartney is trying to dissolve the partnership of the four Beatles, by charging mismanagement oh the part of theother three, Starr, Lennon, and Harrison, and their business managers. A gross of 10.5 million and a netof about 8 million, perchance, these mismanagers could take over Boeing, Lockheed Rolls-Royce, andhelp President Hoover guide the country .through its current difficulties.

Second Annual Home Show OpensDowntown at Noon Bellingham's second annual Home Show pulls back the flaps on its "big top" displayarea today at noon to show off over 50 exhibits. The site for the Home Show is on the Assumptionschool grounds on Cornwall Avenue, just next to Bellingham High School. On display will be everythingfrom modern power tools to a fully landscaped and furnished home valued at $50,000. A local countrymusic station, KBFW Radio, is sponsoring this year's three day show which will end Sunday night."Everybody's hopes are high that it will turn out and there s no plans to cancel because of the weather,"Georgia Ausink, of the sponsoring station said. Weather for the weekend is predicted to be mostlysunny with slight chance of rain (or snow) but Miss Ausink added that the displays will be covered toinsure safe and dry viewing pleasure. There will be displays for everyone in the family but for the kids thebiggest thrill should be the main"big top" tent which reaches high into the air. For them it should bringback tales of the "old fashion" circus and for the crew that had to erect it, the tent is sure to bringmemories of the high gusting winds they tackled while hoisting it earlier this week. The show will opentomorrow at 10 a.m. and Sunday at noon. For the three days it will remain open until about 10 p.m. eachnight. General admission for the display, which is attracting exhibits from across the state, is $1.50 foradults and no charge for persons under 12. Discount tickets are being offered by a variety of localmerchants. Sculpture Exhibit The Western Gallery is exhibiting a collection of recent sculptures todaythrough March 19. The area of sculpture has afforded the most important innovations in the visual arts,according to Lawrence Hanson, Director of the Western Gallery and organizer of the exhibition. Theexhibition surveys many of the changes that have occurred: the use of new materials, repetitive andfabricated forms, light and sound, soft materials, and especially the break with the sense of solidity andvolume which characterized the sculpture of the past. The pieces in the exhibition range in time from aDavid Smith sculpture made in 1958, shown outside to the south of the Art Building, to the present, andrepresent examples of the work of some of the most important artists of the last 15 years. Also includedin the exhibition are pieces by Larry Bell, Anthony Caro, John Chamberlain, Mark di Suvero, Dan Flavo,Eva Hesse, Donald Judd, Craig Kauffman, Heinz Mack, Robert Morris, Claes Oldenburg, EdwardPaolozzi, George Segal, and Alan Saret. In all, 19 sculptures are being shown. This exhibition has beenput together entirely, from collections in Washington and Oregon. The entire academic community andgeneral public are invited to attend.

Do you thinkthe U.S. and its allies in Vietnam will invade North Vietnam in a major action to end the war? A. Yes. Q.Do you think the U.S. will introduce the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Vietnam? A. Uh . . . I didn'tget much sleep last night . . . but, uh . . . no." Charlie Schwab, a Seattle sophomore, provided a typicalresponse: "It seems very possible that the U.S. would invade North Vietnam, considering previousactivities in Cambodia and Laos. It only seems logical in view of the way this country has been fightingthat war, with the need to cut supply lines from the north." Bill Portery, a Blaine sophomore, had this tosay: "There is an advantage of control if we surround North Vietnam with influence in Laos and Cambodia. And if our objective is control, then it only seems necessary for the war machine to invade once more.It's not surprising, but it's distressing." Portery added: "I don't think nuclear weapons will see action, butwhen you stop to think . . . these leaders of ours are just crazy enough to do it. They seem to be able todo what they want." Campus Briefs Tenant's Union The Tenants Union (TU) is financing its futureexpansion by selling Tenants Union cards. The TU is asking a dollar minimum for the cards. Along withthe donation the buyer will receive a booklet on tenant's rights, a TU bumper sticker and a monthlynewsletter. The Tenants Union, which has expanded to a county-wide operation; has offices in Lynden,Deming and on the Western campus. Pete White, chairman of the Union, wants to expand TU into theBellingham community. The proposed downtown office would also house other groups involved inhousingâ€”Vista and the Whatcom County Low-cost Housing Union among them. In order for thedowntown office to become reality, money is needed. Currently Associated Students is footing TU's bill.However, White is wondering whether AS can keep on financing the TU in the future.. The Tenants Unionwants to become independent of the campus. Richard Garoutte, a Tenants Union member, is in charge ofselling the cards.

Bowman said he didn't think his squadwould be too strong in the early meets, but the second-year track coach is fairly optimistic about thesecond-half of the season. With a host of returning lettermen, some top-notch transfers and someencouraging freshmen, Bowman may have the right to be optimistic. However the first-half of the seasonmay prove to be slightly ragged, as Bowman says he has only "a nucleus of 10 people who are in goodcondition who will do well throughout the season." Among the top returnees is Mike Page. Page sat outlast season with an injury, but he has been training hard for the upcoming season. Page will be a work-horse, competing in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the 440-yard dash as well as the relays.While Bowman has Page back this season, he must find replacements for Scott Taylor and Larry Nielsen in the mile and 3-mile events. Taylor elected not to turn out this season, while Nielsen graduated lastspring. Both were All-Evergreen Conference and competed in the Nationals. Their losses will .be tough tofill. Bowman has four of his cross-country men competing in the mile: Fred New, Paul Scovel, KellyStecker and Tim Tubbs. Both Tubbs and Stecker will compete in the 3-mile. Another weak spot for theViks will be in the high-jump, with Western's top leapers from last year graduating. While Bowman mustfill these gaps, he has a handful of promising talent in the other events. Among the promising freshmenare James Magee, Randy Pay ton, Mike Vorce, Ken Johnson, John Smith and Dick Henry. Magee andPayton are both billed as exciting runners in the 220; while both Vorce and Johnson could be top-flighthurdlers. Vorce was the High-School state champion in 1969 in the low hurdles. Bowman feels that theformer Lyle High School standout could have a brilliant season. Smith, 6-4, 256 pounds, has the size tobe a good shot-putter. Henry will be a valuable addition, competing in high jump, the triple jump and pole vault. Dick Foley, who will compete in the 440, heads the impressive group of transfers. Foley, fromColumbia Basin Junior College, will also compete in the 880. Rich Lundberg, a transfer from LowerColumbia, appears to be one of the Viks' top hopes in the 100. The Viks have another fine pole vaulter inBill Long, a transfer from Everett Community College. Long has cleared 14 feet. Another transfer is BobChristiansen, from Olympic Community College. Christiansen will compete in the discus. Top-flightreturnees from last spring include Rich Nominni, Barney Thompson, Doug Brownj Lance Wilson, BillReinecke, Rich Boyd and Jim Wilcox. Nominni will compete in the high-hurdles and low-hurdles, and the javelin. Thompson and Brown are both pole vaulters. Thompson cleared 14 feet last spring. Wilcox andnewcomer Klaus Heck will beef up the shot-put event. Wilson will compete in the triple-jump and longjump, while Reinecke will enter the javelin and hammer events. Boyd will compete in the hammer anddiscus. Western will get its first test on March 20, when the Viks compete in a four-way meet at PacificLutheran University. SPORT SHORTS Coaching Seminar Offered The Black athlete, and competitionand femininity are two of the topics that will be discussed this spring in Social and PsychologicalAspects of Sport and Coaching, a new offering from the P.E. department. "The course will bring outrecent research findings and consist of interchange between the current athlete and the current coach,"said Glen Albaugh, head of P.E. graduate studies. Each Monday from 7-10 p.m., an equal number ofP.E. majors and minors and coaches from the surrounding area will take part in lectures and discussion. Registration for the three credit course (P.E. 497a) will not take place during the regular registrationperiod, but will involve signing up on a waiting list with Albaugh. Other topics that will be covered are:â€”the psychological make-up of the athlete and coach in different sport groups, â€”how athletes learnbest, â€”sport in our culture and sport in politics, and â€”team morale. Viks Superb at Oregon RaceSeaside, Ore., was the site as over 480 runners filed into town for the Seaside Marathon last Saturday. Itmarked the first time Western sent athletes to a 26 mile marathon of this type. Of the four Westernrunners, Fred New registered the best time with a final clocking of two hours, 52 minutes. Steve Lippettcame second at three hours, 10 minutes. Kelly Stecker placed third with three hours, 21 minutes whileTim Tubbs took three hours, 24 minutes. The marathon was sponsored by Portland State, with theassistance of the chamber of commerce in Seaside. Anyone can participate, providing he is willing tosign a statement certifying good physical condition. And it seems just anyone did participate-the oldestrunner was Ki3 years old. Survival Class Offered The Bellingham Mountain Rescue Council will be givingsurvival training classes through the out-door program next quarter. The class will meet weekly in the out-door program room for one or two hours of formal classroom instruction. On the weekends the class willgo out for on-the-job-training. Books and equipment are included in the $6 fee. The class will last 10weeks. Co-ordinator Jeff Thompson said the classes are an alternative to the P.E. courses given insurvival training. He said the P.E. courses fill up quickly and many students who wish instruction areturned away. Those interested should sign up for the course in the out-door program room or contact JeffThompson. Viking Ron Porterfield works the kinks out during pre-season training. Photo By RONLITZENBERGER It All Hangs On the Pitching Hitting may not be a problem for Western's baseball teamthis spring, but stopping the opposition from doing the same could present a major dilemma. CoachConnie Hamilton, starting his fourth year at the helm after a 17-14 campaign last year, is faced with aserious task of filling a depleted pitching staff. Four hurlers, who made up last spring's starter crop, havegraduated. Hamilton, who has been scouting the country-side for pitchers, has nine candidates for themound. Marshall Torres and Keith Hansen, both non-lettermen, return from last spring's squad. Torres, a rifle-armed quarterback during football season, will see if his right-arm can set a baseball past opposinghitters. Hansen, probably would have been a starter last spring if the Viks hadn't already had twoexcellent southpaws. The high-potential lefthander picked up some needed seasoning last summer bypitching for the semi-pro Bellingham Bells. Hamilton also has two highly regarded transfers, Ken St. Louis from Clark Community College and Don Balke from Edmonds Community College. Frosh candidatesinclude Rick Shadle, Bub Ezell and Dennis Deming. Jim Reed, just out of the service, could beHamilton's best bet for a starter. Reed, a lefthander, pitched for Linfield College three years ago. Duringhis last season at the McMinville school, Reed compiled a 5-2 record for a team that went to the NAIAfinals. Neil Crawford, who performed in the outfield last spring, could also see action as a hurler. WhileHamilton is pondering over who's going to comprise his pitching staff, the offensive and defensive parts ofthe team shouldn't present any problems. Coming back for his third and final year is Ron Porterfield.Porterfield, a first-baseman, hit close to .290. Porterfield is also a fine defensive player. The keystonecombination of Dave Miller and Steve Anderson has departed, but Hamilton has apparently filled thoseholes. Dave Bobillot, whom Hamilton feels could be the spark-plug on Western's team, lettered at shortstop last spring. However, Bobillot has been moved to second to make room for Rocky Jackson.Jackson, a transfer from Yakima Valley College, was once drafted by the San Francisco Giants. Lastyear he helped lead his team to a division play-off while hitting .285. John Bates, a fine defensive player,returns at third-base. Catching will be in reliable hands, with Kevin Miller and Rick Mark. Miller was a.300 hitter last spring. The outfield lost All-Evergreen Conference Jesse Chavez and Roger Miller, butHamilton appears to have filled those holes. Taking over Chavez's centerfield slot will be Steve Adams.Adams will give Western's offense some extra punch. Last year at Green River Community College,Adams walloped the ball for a .365 average. Right-field will be in the hands of Dick Merenda, another good hitter. Merenda, the oldest player on the team at 28, hit .357 last spring. Left-field appears up for grabs.At the present, the leading contender is Pete Johnson, a transfer from Shoreline Community College.Western's hitting should be stronger overall, but the Viks will have to come up with some pitching to becontenders in the tough Evergreen Conference. ---------- Western Front - 1971 March 5 - Page 16 ---------- w /esTteerrn^ ^oni l-nday. March t . W\ Randall Named NAIA Coach of the Year Western's basketballcoach Chuck Randall, who led Western to its winningest season ever, has been named NAIA District ICoach of the Year. Randall's Vikings tied Central for the Evergreen Conference title, on route to a 20-6campaign. The Vik mentor, who has had nine straight winning seasons, was voted the top honor by hisrival coaches in the district. Randall's nomination as district coach of the year automatically places himin nomination as national NAIA coach of the year. The presentation of the national honor will take placeafter the play-offs in Kansas City. Randall, whose all-time win-loss ledger at Western is 146-74, wasgiven a similar, honor in 1966. That season, Randall led the Vikings to the Evergreen Conference title.Western's winning record this season was. nothing new to Randall, who has an all-time career record of343-148. Even in his first high-school coaching position, Randall tutored Riverside High School inSpokane to a new win mark. After leaving Riverside, Randall later set winning records at Valley Ford and Lind high-schools. Prior to coming to Western in 1962, Randall led Los Angeles's El Segundo HighSchool to a championship. The Vik coach received his bachelor of arts at Eastern Washington in 1949.Randall has also coached Vik baseball teams to two Pacific Coast championships and two subsequenttrips to the nationals in Kansas City. western front SPORTS The Viking Yacht Club hopes to send ateam east to compete for the Kennedy Cup on Annapolis 44's, similar to the one shown above.

Right now they're busy trying to scrapetogether $3,000 to cover expenses to and from the Kennedy Cup Regatta in Annapolis Maryland thisApril. Last weekend the club placed fourth in the annual Royal Roads Regatta in Victdria, B.C. Vikracing team captain Rick Rottman figures they "will do a lot better at the District Regatta to be hosted by Western on Lake Whatcom this May. "We'll be sailing on our own home-water and in our own boats, sowe should be able to take either first or second place," he said. The Northwest District includes schoolsfrom British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. At the annual meeting last weekend, Rottmanwas voted vice-president of the district. At Annapolis in April, the Viks will compete with 10 other U.S.collegiate teams for the coveted Kennedy Cup. The regatta will consist of five races on Chesapeake Bayin Luders designed 44 foot Annapolis yawls. These boats were built in Bellingham by Uniflite. Westernwill send 10 sailors to the regatta which will be hosted by the Naval Academy. Team members and theirrespective positions include: Peter Jepson, skipper; Mike Collins, first mate; Jeff Foltz, navigator; DaveLewis and Rick Rottman, foredeckmen; Bob Franks and Paul Plesha, winchmen; Claude Kennedy,sternguard and Rich Zehnder and Roger Rindy, alternates. Other schools competing will be SouthernCalifornia, Stanford, Notre Dame, Yale, Cornell, Tulane, Navy, The Citadel, Rhode Island and New YorkMaritime. For the cruising enthusiast, the yacht club is sponsoring a week-long cruise through the SanJuan and Canadian Gulf Islands during spring break. Rottman says 50 to 60 people have already signedup for the cruise. He said that no sailing experience is needed since there will be trained sailors onboardeach of the boats. The boats will range in size from 25 to 32 feet and Rottman says the itinerary for thetrip will be up to those participating. "No boat will sail alone, but packs of two or three can split off fromthe main group if they wish to take side trips," he said. "We'll all meet up at Montague Harbor for a bigparty and then head back through the islands to Bellingham." For those who want to learn to sail thereare free weekly sailing classes sponsored by the yacht club every Saturday on Lake Whatcom. Ridesare provided at 9 a.m. from the VU. The yacht club has weekly meetings in the outdoor program room inthe VU Thursday nights. On Coping with the Centra/ Juggernaut By The Western Front Sports Dept. Aconflict of philosophies is making the Evergreen Conference (Evco) an athletic farce. Central Washington, since 1962, has run roughshod over its Evco rivals. Of 54 possible league championships in the majorspectator sports (football, basketball, wrestling, swimming, baseball and track) the Wildcats have won35. In this nine-year period, Central has taken all 9 track titles, seven swimming, six basketball andwrestling, four football and three baseball championships. Of even more concern is that the Wildcatsseem likely to continue their Evco supremacy. Last year, Central set a new record in the conferencetrack meet, accumulating an unheard total of 171 points to only 81 for runner-up Eastern Washington. Inbasketball last winter, the Wildcats swept through the Evco with a perfect 12-0 record with Westernfinishing a distant second at 5-7. Central's dominance hinges on the fact that athletics take precedenceover every other aspect of their educational program. This is in direct conflict with fellow Evco members,who adhere to the theory that inter-collegiate athletics constitute only a part of the total educationalprogram. Thus, Central has become the jock capital of the northwest, attracting many starry-eyedfreshman athletes through sports glamour rather than academic standing. The same holds true incapturing junior college transfers and university dropouts. Central is able to admit athletes with lowergrade point averages. They are able to do so only because of their yearly failure to meet enrollmentcapacity. Thus no rules are broken and the Evco has no case against them. In addition to thesubstandard entrance requirements, numerous "advantages" are given athletes at the Ellensburginstitution. First, they have Nicholson Pavilion, the finest athletic complex in the Evco. Second,Ellensburg is a cow-town whose sole interest is the Wildcats. Of course, what else can you do exceptmaybe go out and wrestle a steer? And that only during the summer! Third, jobs on campus or in thetown go to athletes whenever possible. What can member institutions of the Evco do about this situation? Whit worth has come up with one answer. A private religious institution, Whitworth is playing out its lastyear in the Evco before moving to the Northwest League. This is an alternative other members could takeor they could go independent. Or they may continue to be martyrs to a sound philosophy, and continueto get their heads beat in in any athletic confrontation with Central. Skiers Take 2nd Western's ski teamlooked hot in the cold snow as they pulled a second place out of a week-end of racing at Mt. Baker. Therace was sponsored and directed by the Viking skiers. Six colleges and universities competed. Dean Gill turned in his best performance of the year to win a bronze medal for finishing third in the cross country.Western won the men's cross country with Greg Larson placing fifth and Scott Derry finishing seventh.Leading the results in the alpine events for Western was Mark Pinch who placed fourth in the slalom andsixth in the giant slalom. Wade Perrow of UPS won the ski meister in the men's division and KarenWilliams of the University of British Columbia won the ski meister for the girls. Williams won the slalom,the giant slalom and placed second in the cross country. The Viking ski team leaves today for Mt. Hoodto compete in the Northwest Intercollegiate Ski Conference championships. *-

Western's flagsare being flown at half mast to show concern over the deaths of two persons killed by Mississippi StatePolice in Jackson. Fifteen other persons were injured. Police reported that they fired only after havingbeen fired on by several "snipers" from a women's dormitory. The Multi-Arts Festival is at last here, aweek long extravaganza of activity that will encompass the campus and Bellingham. Every type of art is incorporated in the festivities for the week. Light works, concerts, art shows, films, dance, poetryreadings and street works are among the many things that are happening. Today is International FunkDay. Hundreds of children will be on campus later this afternoon for Object De' Funque in which J.P.Patches But Henry Paige, a student at Jackson, said, "there were no shots fired from the dormitory"before the police opened fire. Western's Black Student Union (BSU) requested that classes besuspended today in order to mourn the deaths of James E. Green and Phillip L. Gibbs. PresidentCharles J. Flora said that he "could not grant" this request. He expressed his concern over the situation, however, by saying, "It is a further extension of the tragedy and Gertrude will judge at Red Square. The Great Northwest Poetry Reading highlights Wednesday's events. It will begin at 5 p.m. in Carver Gymand continue on until it ends. An open art sale tomorrow will center in Red Square and wherever elseyou can think of. Thursday is an Auction and Trade Day and Town Meeting. You are encouraged tounload anything you would like to trade over by Red Square on the library side. Fisher Fountain will have at Kent State. We alilhould join the Black segments of our campus in concern over this very seriousincident." Flora issued the following statement last night: "The deaths last week of two black studentsin Jackson, Mississippi, reverberate through all of higher education. Not only have two more collegestudents been killed on one of America's campuses, but they were black students, thus intensifying the need in our society to deal more platforms set around it as various people heading differentorganziations will speak on whatever they so desire. A Frisbee Tournament will be held at 1:30 p.m. atthe athletic field Thursday. The prize for the best frisbee player will be a thirty-inch pizza dipped inplastic from Momingtown. The Multi-Arts Festival will be the first of its kind in Bellingham and shouldprove to be something which perhaps might hit us again next year. For other events please see pages 2 and 3. effectively with our minority problems. It seems incongruous that despite the deaths of theseyoung people, the sun should shine brightly here and Western carry forward a festival of arts and joy.Throughout the day today (May 18), the college flag has flown at half mast in remembrance of theJackson State students, and I have asked that it remain at half mast through tomorrow, May 19. I would urge that this endorsement of Western Strike Coalition demands. Bill No. 127, which endorsedpassage of the pending all-college senate proposal, was approved by a roll call vote of 121-98 followingdebate which lasted more than an hour (the proposal is on pages 9-12). Bill No. 122, which called forthe lowering of all U.S. flags on campus to halfmast until such This campus is one of 266 across thenation where strike activities are still being held. Strike leaders have declared their campuses "on strike,but not shut down" in an effort to apply continuous pressure on the president to withdraw troops fromSoutheast Asia. Most strike committees in the nation have also voted in support of the "New Haven"demands, which include total withdrawal of U.S. troops from Southeast Asia, freedom for politicalprisoners, and a stop to university and college complicity with the Pentagon. Strike Coalition leadershere claim "possibly several thousand" strike sympathizers at Western, but active participants numberonly several hundred at most. The local coalition includes representatives of dorms and off campus living groups, the Associated Students, and several major campus organizations. community devote thought, discussion, and prayers to these unfortunate deaths so that we might move a little closer in ourunderstanding of one another." Charles J. Flora A spokesman for the BSU" said that he hoped therewould be no further violence on any campus, but concluded that there very probably would continue tobe violence, and possibly more killings. "We know America, don't we," he said. time as all U.S. troopsengaged in hostilities are home from Indo-China," failed after lengthy debate on the legality of such anaction. Bill No. I l l , which endorsed establishment of the Western Strike Coalition and its demands,passed. Six environmental bills were also presented for consideration, but were sent back to committee for further consideration. Strike activities locally have been reduced to sending strike spokesmen tobusiness groups downtown to explain the New Haven demands. An information center has been set upin the Viking Union to keep students informed on strike activities across the nation. Gary Evans,chairman of the local coalition's external communications committee, said he believed that the strikewould "gather increasing support" in the future. A possible meeting between the Northwest andSouthwest strike coalitions may be summoned this month to develop tactics against the plannedshipment of nerve gas by rail car from Bangor, Wash, to Umatilla Army Depot in Oregon. The nerve gasshipment was a major item of concern to Western delegates to the National Student Congress at SanJose, Calif. May 10-11. Vol. LX1I no. 33 Western Washington State College Bellingham, Washington98225 Tuesday, May 19, 1970 10c Delegsates endorse candidates Jim Bromley Western Front staff The AS spring nominating convention last week endorsed t h r e e president, two vice-president and 12legislator candidates for Thursday's election.

Delegates voted toplace on the ballot the names of both vice-president and all legislator candidates who were nominatedTuesday night. Nineteen bills came out of caucus for consideration by the convention, which lastednearly seven and a half hours Thursday night.

The GREAT NORTHWEST POETRY READING begins at 5 in the afternoon in CARVERGYMNASIUM and continues on until it ends..All of us are advised to have a sense of humor in matters ofthis Festival's organization: that is, as yet we have no schedule of who will be reading when, and also nocompleted list of who will be reading. (We do know that Gary Snyder will be reading at 8 pm, because weset that up on the phone, but .for the rest-the poets approximate times- that we'll be figuring sometimeon TQues. ...we hope.) The READING is designed as a Multi-Media event. That*means that whoeverreads, if they so desire, can have the cooperative movement of anything in the way of LIGHTS, MUSIC,DANCE, THEATRICS: whatever...they so desire and it shall be given unto them. So the READING will not involve a simple and all too often static sequence of eloquent talkers. All the senses will have theirrespective and polyphonic rhythms. .(Poets! Be advised to get in touch by Tuesday...) Tuesday, May13/1970 Western Front GARY SNYDER... Snyder will also be reading in the Music Auditorium in themorning from 10 to 12.

Of course, they don't have to do it in the road,but they frequently do.

In our area there weremany protests. All but one were non-violent. In all but one, the protest leaders planned and worked tokeep them non-violent. In one, at the Peace Arch Saturday, some people came looking for trouble andfound it. That stupid and useless violence just makes it more difficult for everyone else when nextsomeone wants to exercise legitimate dissent. Secondly, in a week when four students were killed byNational Guardsmen called in to restore order, it should be noted that the Whatcom County Sheriff andhis deputies and Blaine Police conducted themselves, under a torrent of verbal abuse andobscenities, with restraint. When force was needed to restore order, it was used effectively, butjudiciously. They showed courage and self-control and a professionalism that should not go unnoticed. Thirdly, government officials who must make difficult decisions about allowing demonstrations andparades where significant possibilities of violent outbreaks exist, require courage and publicunderstanding. In Bellingham for example, student leaders, college officials and the Mayor and Board ofPublic Works all went an extra mile last week to preserve both order and the right of legitimate dissent.Finally, there are the first small signs, that we may have learned last week that we are tearing ourselvesapartâ€”and a glimmer of hope that we may recognize how badly we need to understand each other. That won't be easy, because it is hard to talk softly. It won't happen in a hurry because getting to know yourfellow man is sometimes difficult under the best circumstances. But that's all the more reason thatwe should begin now, to try. Al Swift Public Affairs Director KVOS Television Anti-war machine thriveson blunders It is little comfort knowing that Richard Nixon would rather be a one-term president than tobe a two-term president at the cost of seeing America become a second-rate power and see this nationaccept the "first" defeat in its 190-year history. But there is growing evidence that an extendedoccupation of Indo-China might bring about an even greater defeat for the president, both at home andabroad, than he is willing to publicly admit. Nixon is under tremendous pressure from both politiciansand citizens to withdraw U.S. combat troops from Cambodia as soon as possible. Even pro-administration congressmen, who were not consulted on the commander-in-chief's surprise decision toinvade so-called Communist sanctuaries in Cambodia, are demanding withdrawal. The first contingenthas already leftâ€”in caskets. Even if the president withdraws combat troops from Cambodia, theunknown thousands of "non-combat" Special Forces advisers and intelligence forces which haveoccupied both Laos and Cambodia for years, will remain. If our armed forces remain in Indo-China formuch longer and if the resumed bombing of North Vietnam continues, China may escalate its support ofPathet Lao and North Vietnamese forces. Chinese troops are reportedly already massing on the northern borders of Laos and North Vietnam. If China really enters the war, then the United States governmentwill have two options. One is to accept a political settlement based on removal of U.S. and allied forcesfrom Southeast Asia. The other is to attempt to cripple Chinese intervention with either massive use ofconventional or tactical nuclear weaponry. The Pacific Studies Center in San Francisco claims that a topNixon aide favors the use of nuclear weapons against China, on the supposed dubious assumption thatthe Soviet Union will not retaliate for such attacks. Public dissent to the Indo-China War is sporadic,depending upon an occasional emotional stimulus to rally support. But there is a full-time anti-warmachine which is not affected by fluctuating apathy or springtime sun. With each governmental ormilitary blunder it will grow stronger. â€”John Stolpe thewestern front official weekly newspaper ofWestern Washington State College second class postage paid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 phone 734-8800 editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext. 2276 Bob Burnett John Stolpe Jill Stephenson Adele SaltzmanForrest Anderson Bob Taylor editor-in-chief managing editor assistant to the editor copy editor assistantcopy editor sports editor Lynn Watts 'Dan Shoblom Jerry King , Bill Todd Mike Erickson Bill WoodlandR.E.

Guffaw, guffawâ€”sob MichaelErickson Western Front staff Guffaw. So we engaged in a spasmodic orgasm of vicarious PeacefulDissent, or more aptly peaceful descent into the morass of built in free expression. It's American.Meanwhile, suitcases were flying open, and sun children were following the Lemmings out to the beaches. All highlighted by a tender Mother's Day get together. Hearth and home;pleasant. It was also Be Kind toAnimals Week. But mostly it was Kent State empathy week. Six blacks were later exterminated inGeorgia, but the altruism was all used up. Sorry kids. Tut sut, back in the same old rut, ah nuts. Wherewere America's third world non-liberated peoples when 75,000 people stood in a park and yelled "No more war!" at the White House. Probably rotting back in the Ghetto asking where whitey was when the Ghetto rebels rose to insurrection. One at a time the established order is going to take us all on, and leave usas inert reader's digestion in the Bellingham Herald. And the strike moves clandestinely into business asusual tactics. Collectives formed after the Courthouse march now bring you information. Information which is only going to make you feel a little more of a conscious pang the next time you pack the sun tan lotion in your suitcase. Frustration leads to anxiety which leads to neurosis, and still with all our technologywe can't make a fail-safe zipper. You're standing over a crack in the earth which erupts into a crevasse,try and stay on both sides. There is no ground, middle that is. You're fertilizer or cannon fodder. Betteryet; just say you don't know. We live in little dukedoms, drunken in ignorance and sullen in reality.Guffaw. Now, Thursday last, in Red Square there was a rally. Who all was there. Hands please. Wellanyway, we rallied about some information. Moreâ€”yes, or lessâ€”no. So you can dump your classesand do it independently. I have here in hand a matchbook. "Step up to big pay" it says. Extensioncorrespondence. I can't even correspond. As the rally fizzled to an end, a grizzled boistrous man in aGreyhound Bus driver's jacket began to harangue the group. The prophet bemoaned our Mickey Mouserevolution. He begged indulgence and someone to read his poem. The crowd guffawed in smotheredlaughter. A girl took his poem and sneered at him. He called her a "white bitch." He is white. "FromGuam to Nam they fly so high, in the sky and drop those bombs." he screamed. "Your daddy madeBoeing. Your daddy made all this so you could have the education he never got. Your daddy made B-52's so you could have all this." Guffaw. And he screamed. A strike leader took the microphone and calledhim an "asshole." As he skulked through the crowd he turned and said, "Why don't you go to theadministration and get a bigger microphone?" Gee. Isn't freedom of expression nice? Richard Nixon thinks so. Bazoo for the tactics of confrontation, we keep confronting ourselves. Guffaw. Who is who â€” andwhy? Mickey Hull Western Front staff In the midst of what some Bellinghamites would call the radicaltake-over of Western Washington State College, a group of 250 or more students marches down IndianStreet, up Holly Street and out Lakeway Drive to mount Interstate 5. The freeway remains blocked for two or three hours until students "get their point across," as I heard one marcher say, and then graciouslyleave. The next day students walk downtown in groups or two or three and ask the people they encounter to stop and listen because they have something to say. After a long day at the street corner or doorstep, the students return to campus and wonder why some people would be so unconcerned as to brush bythem, or simply stop long enough to say several choice words. Everyone wonders together since at thetime it seems like the thing to do. Why won't you Bellinghamites listen?You have no right to pass us byon the street corner or throw others off your doorstep just because some students at Western blockpublic roadways, disregard the laws you have to obey and deface public property. Just who do youpeople think you are? Better yet, who do some Western students think they are? ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 19 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 19, 1970 ! - - - . - , . - â€¢ I t.

Klein quoted in the Western Front, May5,1970. Chief Klein says that the ACLU is "quick to violate the law. They encourage everyone to get onthe bandwagon." To my knowledge the ACLU has broken no law. If it has then it is the duty of ChiefKlein to say what it is and to insure that prosecution takes place. Moreover, I urge Chief Klein to specify a single circumstance in which the ACLU has encouraged "everyone to get on the bandwagon," or tobreak the law. Chief Klein questions "what the ACLU's reaction would have been" if he had tried to stopthe persons marching down Holly Street. The answer is simple and clear. If arrests had been made inaccordance with legal LAZ DEFENDS BORDER INCIDENT requirements there would have been noobjection. If persons were arrested for violating legitimate laws .. legitimately applied and enforced, there would have been no objection. If, in the opinion of the ACLU the statues under which the arrests weremade were unconstitutional then it would quite possibly have undertaken the legal defense of thosearrested. Chief Klein knows this. The position and practice of the ACLU is clear and public. We defendpersons wrongfully deprived of their constitutional rights and liberties. We support the police in theproper exercise of their legitimate authority. A simple position, but one of great importance and integrity. A. Hugh Fleetwood assistant professor of philosophy president, The American Civil Liberties Union ofWashington IS HARRIET REALLY SO INNOCENT? Editor: "Racy, riotous and risque" is so far anaccurate description of the Man of Mode, but your reporter in the issue of May 12 overlooked the truth ofLord Byron's dictum: "All comedies are ended by a marriage."

Opening last Friday, the Fairhaven coffee shop promises to tantalize the tastebuds of starving students from the Fairhaven complex and the mobile homes.

The shop will be offic" y open until 10 p.m. on weekdays and midnight on weekends, but DougBaker, student soda-jerk, hopes to keep it open til 4 or 5 a.m. with volunteer labor.

Steven W. Inge secretary to the Board Letters to theeditor should be short and to the point, including the writer's name, class and major. Telephone numbers should be included if possible. Members of the academic community are also welcome to contributearticles, features, guest commentaries and other material of interest to the community. Editor: I wish toreply to your article "Mob violence no help." First of all, in your page one article describing the "invasion," you made no mention that the Canadians were going to peacefully "invade" the U.S. Therefore, one isleft to assume that the invaders who you said were demonstrating "against... U.S. aggression inCambodia" staged a fake (rather real, as it turned out) invasion of the U.S. They seem not to have made any mention that it would be peaceful, according to you. To my mind if I was told that the U.S. wasgoing to be invaded by protestors that were planning to demonstrate against "aggression in Cambodia,by invading the U.S., violence would be imminent. After all, I'm sure you know as well as I that the U.S.does not invade Cambodia with any i n t e n t i o n of peacefully demonstrating against Viet Cong orCambodian guerrillas. Nor, I am sure you know, do they apply for a parade permit, nor do they worryabout destroying whole towns. You did not mention "what they preached . . . " so how am I, aseemingly misinformed reader to know that they did not practice it. The way I see it, they did exactlywhat they said they would. As for the way their "American brothers" reacted, why not!? Do the guerrillas just stand peacefully by while their land is being invaded and d e s t r o y e d by "peaceful invaders." Ifeel_ that the American brothers responded quite normally and logically. What would you do if someone invaded your house and began destroying itâ€”I'm sure you wouldn't just stand peacefully by. A n d t he 1 a w - enforcers . . . well, their actions are normal, too. After all, you don't see the United Nationsjumping into the middle of the U.S. "police" action in Southeast Asia. The only difference between theU.N., the state bulls and other "police" is that the U.N. is genuinely helpless, the U.S. seems to beimmune and autonomous from world pleas and opinions. I'm sure the police gathered did unanimouslyprotest the violence at the demonstration, EXPLAINS CANADIAN VIOLENCE Editor: I would like todisagree with your article of this past week on "Protesting at the Border" by Bob Burnett. I feel as aCanadian student at Western that Americans generally are unbelievably unaware of my country andalso of its economic exploitation by America'. American controls well above 50 per cent of our economyand perhaps you never thought that Canadians are tired of this. You try to police the world but we willnot let you dominate Canada. Thus we lash out (in this case with the wrong means) at Americanexploitation. I do not sanction violent means in this case, but I do understand them.

I think we are overlooking some important considerations. Once- publicizedpriorities such as student publications, participation in retentions, parking, and pubs appear to have beenreplaced by the strike concerns. Agreeing with "getting it together" and community involvement,I feelgovernment could offer the most efficient and responsive starting point to reflect and initiate action. Aslegislator, I would work to make government effective not at the expense of minority views nor for theproportion of sensational legislation. Instead of abandoning of business as usual I would involve myselfinto the process of improving it. Recently, priorities appear to reflect and appear to embody campus-wideattitudes. AS government is criticized for reflecting recklessness or neglect and appealing to apathywhich, I think, is to no avail if it occurs after the fact. We act as we have learned. Until we are organizedand representative, can we serve student needs? Adequately informed, accountably we can act. Issuesmay change yet actions should not always be evaluated retrospectively. More important, they shouldembody your participation prior to legislation. On or off, upper or lower, minority or majority, we shoulddemonstrate for usual business. Criticisms of the inefficient and non-representative Western Front. Where are they now or do striking issues take precedence over past policies? I hope to open up governmentand allow involvement to make it visible, accountable and less suspect to criticisms of inefficientbusinessâ€”As usual, it is up to us. Thank you for your consideration. Begin to involve yourself and vote. John McDonnell candidate for AS Legislator Prior to the appearance of this article, I have not submittedcampaign materials for publication in the Western Front. All my efforts in past days have been directedtoward estabUshing, between college factions and with the Bellingham community, some form ofcommunication. I am helping to form the Public Relations Council, a group to serve as liaison betweenmembers of our academic community and the local populace. This country is in crisis. Anti-war activityspurred by U.S. involvement in Cambodia, the resulting disruption, disorder and reaction are by now wellknown to us all. Cambodia is but the tip of the iceberg which threatens to sink the so-called Ship of State. This is a crisis which affects us at all levels of our lives-National; State; Local; and even, we have seen,on our own campus. We cannot separate ourselves from' it and expect those freedoms which wepresently enjoy to remain intact. We must turn our attention towards a comprehensive program ofeducation on a one-to-one basis or with groups-social, religious political, etc. . . . I believe that there is nocompetent substitute for education and we must strive to continue to teach and to reason. I believe alsothat in our dissent to America's foreign policy we must take great care to safeguard the integrity of theindividual's rights to an education and to free speech. If we do not, then we will have failed ourselves, forwe will have adopted the tools of the oppressor to free the oppressed. Les Savitch AS PresidentialCandidate During the time I have worked as a staff member of the Western Front I have come intocontact with people from all factions on campus, but more importantly I have been thrust into situationswhich required that I report the facts of issues objectively, regardless of any personal bias I might havefelt. Objectivity is imperative in the position of legislator, for one must maintain an open mind at all times,carefully weighing both sides of an issue before formulating an opinion. If one is not objective, how canvalid and lasting decisions be made? True representation can only come from an open mind. My work onthe Academic Reform Commission for the past two quarters has enabled me to become exposed to many new ideas concerning change for Western; in curriculum, the grading system, and other areas ofpossible reform for this campus. Specifically, the possibility of adopting some of the programs now ineffect at Fairhaven into Western. Individual areas I am concerned with include requirements, studentinvolvement, grading changes, student initiated courses, and more seminar-discussion based classes. Ifeel that much more student involvement in the makeup of the college program itself is a must. I believethese changes are possible with the aid of interested students, whether or not they are involved directly instudent government. The AS Legislature needs members who will devote their time to the pressingissues facing this campus, but above all it needs concerned, objective students. I possess the ability tobe objective above all else. I need your help. With your help I can succeed. Jackie Lawson candidate forAS Legislator SBiopipuDi saiopipuDi seiopipuDD seiDpipuDO SdJ ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 19 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, May 19, 1970" Western Front' 7 ' idates candidates candidates candidates candidates GaryEvans seems to have a habit of doing things that haven't been done before. I know this; I've worked veryclosely with Evans for the last two quarters. Let me explain. When I came into the AS HousingCommission (last Fall quarter), I noticed one thing that seemed prevalentâ€”chaos. This* is not to slightthe previous Housing Commissioner, because he was simply tied up in too many other operations.Toward the end of that quarter, the word got around that a legislator (Gary D. Evans) would be taking overthe Housing Commission as of Winter quarter. I was skeptical; the only thing that I knew about this newguy was that he was "big" in the AS Legislature. Fall quarter ended, Winter quarter came. Evans askedme to sit down with him and plan out the Housing Commission's strategy for the rest of the year. Themeeting was interesting. The first thing that Evans did was to ask me what my opinions were for gettingthe Housing Commission out of the hole that it seemed to be in. He jotted down some rules and told methat he would get a hold of me tomorrow. The next dayâ€”Evans presented a comprehensive program and improved structure for the Commission to follow. He had used many of my opinions, had improved uponthem and had thrown in a lot of his own. I figured that this guy was going to be all right. My personalskepticism dissolved, and the organization now provided with direction, I began helping Evans to pick up a defunct Housing Commission and put it back on its feet. He has turned it into a viable organization thatcan actually do something for students. Evans has always said that students can do anything, if they'lljust go and do it. He was responsible for taking a large administrative function (Housing Listing Service)and placing it under student control, to say nothing of improving it. â€”That's one. Evans was responsiblefor helping to defractionalize student government by combining major student housing organizations into a single, more effective one (Tenants' Union, OCIC and Listing Service)â€”the AS Housing Commission.That's two. Evans has been a staunch supporter of "residence hall students' rights." He's been in onmany a committee meeting sticking up for these people. Evans was also responsible for setting up a joint tenant-landlord negotiating panel to formulate a standardized rental contract. Evans went to war fortenants' rights and was quite successful at that. That's three and four. The list could go on forever, andthese are only accomplishments in the housing field. Consider Evans involvement in the Legislature, theAS Cabinet, and his other dealings and you've got yourself quite an impressive character. Too manytimes, you find people in important positions who are leaders but not administrators; or administrators butnot leaders. Sometimes they may lack originality and/or ingenuity. But not Evans; he has all of thesevital qualities. I'm going to vote for Evans. I've seen what he has done and I know what he can do. Andbesidesâ€”I want to see things done that haven't been done before. Craig Cole chairman Tenants' Union Jerry Apple Legislator candidate Mary Ellen Watts Legislator candidate I have been involved in manydifferent facets of student government here at Western since Fall, 1969. This quarter I am on the AS-IHCcommittee, a liaison between our student government and interhall council. Improving communicationsbetween these two bodies has been one of our most important tasks. I was also quite involved in theorganization, implementation and follow-through of the recent three-day strike here at Western and moreimportant, in the local community. Currently I am also working as chairman of the "Manpower" Committee in the Western Strike Coalition. There is an increasing amoung of unity growing on this campus. Thisunity is found not only with students through their government, but also is found interworking betweenmost areas of our college community. With your support, I will as legislator, give all I can to keep thespirit going and to work for and represent you to the best of my ability. Doug Baker candidate for ASLegislator Gary Evans John Engstrom ^ ^ ^ f c Jack Ervine Legislator candidate Doug Baker Legislatorcandidate Jackie Shelby Legislator candidate Fabienne Wood Legislator candidate I advocate control of the education system by the students it should be serving. Also, I support maximum involvement of thecollege in helping to curtail exploitation of third world countries, our own working class and theenvironment. Jim Hansen candidate for AS Legislator There are several problems at Western that should be confronted. First, are we as students, eliminating the problem when we say that there should not beany army recruiters allowed on campus to speak? If people don't want to hear these men, they don't have to come to their meetings. But at least these army recruiters should be given the chance to be heard.There are students interested in hearing what is going on in the Army recruiter system, even though theymay be against their ideas. Freedom of speech is an important element. Second, students in the dormsfeel that they don't have enough representation in the AS Legislature. They feel that they should haveresponsible leaders bringing forth some of their ideas. In this way the dorm students will feel that theyhave a say. If something happens that is brought forth by the AS Legislature, the dorm people will feelthey had a voice, if truly represented. The dorms will be more willing to go along with some of the off-campus legislators when they present their resolutions. A compromise can be formed between the twoforces. An AS Legislator from the dorm should be willing to work together at all times with the off-campuslegislators. The dorm students cannot alleviate this problem of lack of representation by moving most ofthe voting machines into the dorms. The voting machines should be spread around the whole campus sothat everyone has an equal chance to vote. Voting booths should be placed in several of the dorms, thebookstore, Red Square, at both upper and lower Saga and one or two designated places off-campus.Gerald Apple candidate for AS Legislator opipuoD seiDpipuDO sdjop;puD3 sajop;puD3 sdjop= o Q 3 a. 51 Q Q 3 Q. a.

Editor Bruce Olson's coverage of strike activities on that campus.The resignations came from Lee Rozen and Barbara Anderson, news editors; Jerry Baldasty and BruceJohansen, night editors; Dave Horsey, cartoonist; and Rod Bauer, photographer. A letter of resignationsubmitted by the six to Olson last Monday stated: / We leave because to be associated with the Dailyin its present form as spokesman and coordinator of a political movement is abhorrent to our integrity as news journalists." At the same time, William Asbury, faculty advisor for the Daily, requested that hisname be removed from the paper's' masthead because of what he called "tunnel-vision reporting" byOlson. "Unfairness is the one word that characterizes your regime," Asbury wrote in a letter to theeditor which appeared in the May 13 Daily. "Olson has been guilty of gross conflict of interest," the May 12 Seattle Post-Intelligencer quoted Asbury as saying. "He can't be spokesman and chief participant ina major political activity and have time or the balanced viewpoint to run a daily newspaper." Olsondefended his position in a telephone interview with the Western Front last Friday. "I served only as amediator between opposing factions within the UW Strike Coalition," he said. "I haven't beenquarterbacking any movement." "When you feel a movement is important, it's hard to keep from beinginvolved," the editor said, however. According to Olson, none of the Daily reporters who have coveredstrike activities to date are directly involved with the Coalition. Asbury was not available for furthercomment.

Magnolia ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 19 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, May 19, 1970 Western Front 9 COLLEGE SENATE AND ALL-COLLEGE GOVERNMENTsummary report of the ad hoc committee on college government (Ed note: The following was released bythe Ad Hoc Committee on College Government to be published for the academic community.) YourCommittee on Government herewith presents its final proposals for a Western Washington StateCollege Constitution, By-laws and Bill of Rights. We have worked just about one year on the document;we have interviewed many individuals, spoken with many groups, held many critique sessions, read many documents and spent many hours in discussion. What we offer you is a document which isnecessarily a blend of conflicting views yet one which we believe workable and improvable over time,given the will to do so. Beyond what we wrote in introducing this Constitution to the WWSCCommunity on October 7,1969 in the Western Front, (viz., remarks on the relation between theConstitution and By-Laws; recommendations (also repeated in the Constitution and By-Laws) forratifying the documents; election of the first Senators; and remarks on the relation between the Board of Trustees, the academic community and the proposed Constitution) it may be well to summarize herewhat major changes we made in the documents since then. They fall under a few headings: 1) The firstparagraph of the Constitution gave us some trouble and gave trouble to the Attorney General's office.After correspondence and discussion it appears our new wording will not be unconstitutional, whereas the previous language was rejected as likely to be such. 2) An Undergraduate Council. Here we sought topreserve a logical and functional parallel between graduate studies and undergraduate studies by givingthis council the title, "Undergraduate Council," instead of "Arts and Sciences Council." It then followedthat the Undergraduate Council should have as major subcommittees an Arts and SciencesCommittee, a Teacher Education Committee and a General Education Committee, (see 4.411) 3)Matters of welfare (salary, retirement and other fringe benefits) we finally decided should start in asubcommittee of the Business and Finance Council where budget requests and budget allocations aredrawn up for review by the Senate. Of course the Senate's "Committee on Council and Committees"appoints the Business and Finance Council with the Senate's confirmation. Moreover, this new Welfare Committee must also have the approval of the Senate's Committee on Councils and Committees (see4.61). 4) Though not stated in our proposals it is a consequence of them that the (old) Faculty Counciland Faculty Forum will have no "official" status vis-a-vis the Senate although they may continue to existfor whatever other purposes the faculty wish them to. Most of the functions of these bodies will in effectbe displaced by the functions of the newer bodies. To repeat our summarization of the matter from ourlast report: In consonance with principles we agreed upon and submitted to the college community late in the Spring, we have attempted to create a small, efficient, visible governmental structure which willoperate, hopefully, through a reasoned debate, cooperation and considerable delegation of powers.The structure is a deijio-cratic one but the main thrust of the community's work, the academic, is placedmainly in the faculty's hands, with the student constitutency having a large share of the responsibility ofgovernance in both the academic and non-academic areas. Specifically the benefits accruing to eachconstituency are as follows: The faculty will become a more than merely recommendatory bodyincreasing considerably its role in the institution, and it will become the strongest partner in the jointenterprise of making the policies and setting the procedures for the government of the College. Studentswill in effect become the junior partners in the same areas. Their voices and votes will be exercised to adegree not presently enjoyed. Administrators will participate in the making of all-college decisions andfreely be able to voice the concerns and problems of their offices to an all-college governance heretoforedenied them. Finally, one general advantage may be mentioned, namely, the creation of a commonforum where the various constituencies can come together to speak and act for the good of the entirecollege community.

SUPPLEMENTARYREMARKS Concerning the individual rights-grievances- judicial issues which often arise on campus,your committee concluded that there was no need for an elaborate formal structure such as is found inmany political systems. Rather, we thought that in addition to the normal practice of seeking redressfrom the agencies, individuals or officers most closely concerned or involved in a particular case,that thestructures presently used in the various constituencies for seeking justice (Judicial Committee, Grievance Committee, Student Judicial Board, the various Deans' offices, etc.) were adequate and needed only ouracknowledgment. The only new body we suggestâ€”similar to the Grievance Committee of the presentFaculty Councilâ€”is a procedural committee of the Senate which would not administer grievanceprocedures nor act as a higher or appellate body, but would try to assure that appropriate grievanceprocedures were available to all college personnel. The charge to this "Committee on Individual Rightsand Grievances" might be to review for the Senate and report to it on procedures to protect the individualrights of all college personnel. The Committee may find that certain of the existing procedures areappropriate. In other cases the Committee might find that the procedures are inadequate. In still otherareas the Committees may find there are no procedures that protect the rights of the individual. Wherethe committee found the procedures inadequate or non-existent, it would be the Committee'sresponsibility to recommend to the Senate appropriate changes or additional procedures. The Senate'sCommittee on Councils and Committees will, we trust, serve to nominate and coordinate membershipon all Senate councils and committees to insure a distribution of talent to match, insofar as possible,individual interest in serving with appropriate assignments, and to provide an overview of who is servingwhen and where. In sum, this committee should allocate talent to necessary activities and arrangesuitable procedures for allowing members of the community some choice in their assignments. TheSenate should first address itself to the critical formative questions posed elsewhere in, this document.As each new Commission, Council or Committee is appointed, the Senate should determine the timethe new group becomes operational and when the old group or groups become non-operational. The ACCis the first body which the Senate will appoint. The ACC should carefully consider the question of ClusterCollege and Cluster Program representation in its subcommittees. It appears advisable (and we haveprovided for such in the Constitution) that the ACC should have members from those colleges andprograms on subcommittees. We also leave to the Senate (especially to its Committee on Elections)many details of election procedure, but we trust that these can be worked out and incorporated in By-Laws. The Senate should consider the appointment not only of a Parliamentarian from its members butalso a Sergeant at arms, or equivalent officer, to maintain order. For purposes of easier communicationwith the Board of Trustees we hereby suggest the possibility of asking the Board of Trustees to appointone of its members to the Business and Finance Council with voice but no vote. A system ofcomputerized voting should be considered by the senate for ease and efficiency or referenda,amendments, schoolwide ballots, elections, and the like. A room or "chamber" large enough for theSenate and its audience should be scheduled both for regular Senate meetings and Executive Committeemeetings. Lecture Hall 4 appears a possibility. Consideration should be given to means ofidentification of Senators on campus A Constitution Review Committee should be appointed by theSenate early in its first term to keep the Senate informed on the successes and failures of theConstitution and By-Laws, and to draft modifications for the Senate's review in the form of new provisions, amendments, and the like. ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 19 - Page 13 ---------- OCIC to hold fencing tournament, cycle race Off-Campus Interhouse Community (OCIC) is sponsoring a motorcycle motorcross and a fencing tournament Friday as part of the Multi-Arts Festival. Motorcycleriders should meet at 2 p.m. in front of the CCM house for riding group assignments and an outline ofthe course. They will leave the parking lot at 3 p.m. The race will officially start from the course site at 4p.m. after stripping the cycles down for trail riding. Riders must meet at the CCM house first, and areencouraged to have their own pit crew to transfer their disbanded parts to the last stop before returning to the street. Interested cyclists should sign up ahead of time on any of the appropriate sheets postedaround campus or in the OCIC office in VU 214, Jim Dickenson, chairman of the event said. "Any sizecycle can enter the race, from a Honda 50 to a Harley hog," Dickenson said. The race closelyresembles an enduro. It is a timed, off the road race, the timing resembling a car rally. Cycle riders andthose with first aid knowledge are still needed for the safety crew and can contact Dickenson in theOCIC office. Trophies will be awarded after the race in Red Square. OCIC members are also holding aSpring get-together ' after the race. Those interested should go to the race or to tonight's OCIC meetingat 7 p.m. inVU354. The fencing tournament will be held at 1 p.m., in Red Square for those whoseinterests don't include cycle racing. If it rains, Gym B is reserved for the event. The Multi-Arts Festivalcommittee has invited many different schools to come to Bellingham, so a variety of people are expected to enter the event, Gregg Stock, chairman of the event, said. Leon Auriol, from Seattle, is judging andsupervising the fencing tournament, he said. The event is sanctioned by the Amateur Fencing League of America. Strike activities: talk turns to action The strike movement has apparently lost its appeal tomany of its "fair-weather" followers this past week as freeway blocking and rallies are replaced by work.AS President Greg Baker said that the strike was relatively "low-key" and about "150-200 wereparticipating in actual community relations, in the form of information tables downtown and speaking tothe high schools." Last week the delegates to the First National Student Position open on LegislatureOne position is presently open on the AS Legislature and s t u d e n t s may pick up applications in thestudent government offices on the top floor of the Viking Union. Applications must be returned to GailDenton by 4 p.m. Monday, May 25, and applicants must attend the May 26 legislature meeting to beconsidered for the position. Congress at San Jose State College said they would follow national NewHaven demands. When asked if he thought these demands were attainable Baker said, "I wonder if weaffect the government by anything we do, the strike efforts are being directed towards attaining them."Independent study classes, concerning the current foreign policy of this country, are being held thisweek. "The Future of Forests" will be the topic of a panel discussion at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the VUlounge. Sitting on the panel will be Harold C. Criswell, U.S. Forest Service; Lyn Cornelius, freshman;John Miles, VU program director; and Henry A. Reasoner, Washington State Department of NaturalResources. William H. 0. Scott, COQ chairman and special projects librarian, will moderate the panel.This quarter's Book of the Quarter is The Environmental Handbook edited by Garrett DeBell. StrikeCoalition Committee is looking for manpower Western Strike Coalition's information booths and runningManpower Committee is looking for workers.

H o l ly or imprisonment in the county jail fornot more than six months or both Asked if the law would apply to students who forcefully kept otherstudents from talking with a recruiter on campus, Gorton said that it would be "pretty close" in itsapplication. He did not elaborate. The law would apply to students forcefully keeping students from theirclasses, the attorney general said. The law was passed by the 1970 Special Session of the legislatureand was an attempt by the legislators to express their disapproval of violence on college campuses, hesaid. All but one of the environmental bills introduced at last week's AS Convention were returned tocommittee for reconsideration and revision. Bill No. 110, resolving that all campaign posters be returnedto the local paper redistributor for recycling, was the only bill passed. According to EnvironmentalQuality Council President Ted Boss, they were "armchair bills" enacted in good faith but not sufficientlyresearched. Those bills returned to committee included: Ridgeway Alpha's proposal to study low-phosphate soaps and detergents, and recommend their use in all college facilities. Environmentalistsplan coalition to gain power A c o a l i t i o n of all environmentally-oriented groups on campus will beformed next year, in order to gain more political and community power and support. The Environmentaland Outdoor Program (EOP), will compose what is now the Environmental Quality Council, (EQC), ZeroPopulation Growth (ZPG) and the Outdoor Program. According to EQC president Ted Boss, the groupwill become much more politically oriented.

Commercial 733-2460 ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 19 - Page 15 ---------- Tuesday, May 19, 1970 Western Front 15 Local "patriots' rally at Federal Building About 400 residentsof Bellingham and Whatcom County rallied in front of the Federal Building Saturday night to displaypatriotism and show support of the national government. T h e d e m o n s t r a t i o n, sponsored byseveral Whatcom county high schools and the Citizens for Safe And Sane Government organization,began with a march from the Discount House parking lot to the Federal Building. There the marchers,many of whom carried American flags or signs attesting to their patriotism, were loudly cheered by analready-gathered crowd. The crowd, mostly adults and high school students and very f ew collegecommunity members, listened to speakers call for an end to violence on college campuses and a newbeginning of patriotism in America. State Representative Dick Kink of Bellingham condemned any useof violence on campus and in America, and said "Let them beware and let them be aware, violence willonly mean an end of democracy." He said the call for immediate change will produce nothing butviolence and division in America, and that the silent majority will refuse to be silent any longer, but "willget involved to end violence." The next speaker, Aiden R u s s e l l of E d m o n d s, representing theAmerican Legion, spent a full ten minutes emotionally explaining the value of " o l d - t i m e Americandemocracy," when "children didn't talk back to their parents, students didn't argue with professors, andblack and white people didn't fight each other." Russell said that he realized that dissent and the right to demonstrate dissent was an American privilege, but he said that "to violate the law of the land is totrample on the blood of our founding fathers." Russell said that he respected the youth of Bellinghamwho participated in the rally, stating that "for every degenerate smoking marijuana and for every radicalhippie who burns buildings, there are 1000 good college kids sitting at home studying." The nextspeaker, Lee Cowen of Western, tried to explain to the crowd that "we of Western didn't want violence,and there has never been any violence in any Western demonstrations." A member of the crowd replied, "Yea, but let them try to close that freeway again." Cowen replied, "Many strikes by unions are illegal,and often violent." The freeway \vas closed in an attempt to make the people listen just as illegal unionwalkouts are attempting to make people listen, he said. Cowen told the crowd that "students arefrustrated in their attempts to seek peace," and after five years of marching to no avail are looking for astronger way to show their beliefs. Cowen also said that most of the Western students want to talk toBellingham people, and want community understanding and communications. "If violence occurs as aresult of misunderstanding, Cowen said, "no one will be to blame except the leaders of Bellingham,students and citizens." The rally ended with the singing of several patriotic songs, a minute of silenceand then taps played by two buglers. This finale was obviously moving to many people; many of theadults had tears streaming down their cheeks and were upset with those in the audience that were notmoved at all. Anderson replies to blasts of Armstrong dismissal story Forrest Anderson assistant copyeditor This is in reply to the two letters in last week's issue which suggested that my article and e d i t o r i a l concerning Walter Zuber Armstrong's dismissal from the music department were biased. I wouldlike to answer these accusations. 1. The statements suggesting racial prejudice and a facultyconspiracy were made by Bill Little, a BSU member. 2. Neither Philip Ager nor Dr. Charles North couldgive me the contents of the student evaluations, so I couldn't report them. Armstrong, also, didn'tvolunteer the information and I felt it would be an insult to him to ask for the opinions of only 20 students. Armstrong gave me several reasons he believed to be the true cause for his dismissal, so I reported his opinions. 3. I stated that Armstrong is the finest musician on Western's campus after hearing howpopular Armstrong is with many students, not necessarily the music majors. My statement was basedon the number of people Armstrong claimed attend his concerts as compared to other members in themusic department, and on my understanding of his ability to play numerous instruments, as well asbeing able to compose contemporary music, often improvised. 4. At the time I last interviewed Ager hewas not certain that Bill Cole, from the UW, was coming to Western next year, as Michael Baker sothoughtfully revealed in his letter to the editor last week. 5. I spent-approximately 20 hours of researchand writing on the case. It was not my intention in my editorial to slam the music department, but ratherto suggest ways of improving it. My words were intentionally strong to attract some readers. Perhaps"one of the finest" or "one of the most popular," would have been a better choice of descriptive words.Hopefully, this controversy will have sparked interest in other students who will question some of thethings I have questioned, and will cause an investigation of the issue. If there are any further complaintsfrom music students, I suggest they choose someone to represent the music department by being onthe Western Front staff. Then they won't have an e x c u s e for s u p p o s ed incompetency of currentstaff members. These crosses were planted outside Old Main last week as part of a silent vigil for peace. ^ ^ Frontphoto hy Shobhm Health insurance fee raised, plan revised A sub-committee of_ the S t u d en t Health Services Committee, composed of s t u d e n t s , f a c u l t y , and administration, reviewedseveral plans for health insurance and decided on a new plan for the 1970-71 academic year.

ForrestAnderson assistant copy editor The approximately 400 people who crowded into the Viking Union lastSaturday night witnessed a peaceful, high quality musical performance, in contrast to some of the loudrock sounds that are usually heard there. A relaxing evening with the folk music of Pentangle began asa magenta spot shone on the five English musicians. "Sally Go Round the Roses," of Great Societyfame, started the performance with the only female member of the group softly singing lead. Thecurtains in the Viking Union were left open, revealing the sun gradually setting over the mountainsbeyond Bellingham Bay, as England's number one folk group demonstrated how they earned that title.The group's music was predominantly soft and extremely relaxing; the audience received them warmlybut not too excitedly. A note of humor was added by the bass player as he strummed and sang a soloabout a monk who couldn't sing. He told everyone he also couldn't sing, making a joke of Peter MaxPoster Book Illustrated Beatles Song Book How Old Will You Be in 1984?

But, his heavilyEnglish accented voice was a pleasant addition to the soothing notes that floated across to the pacifiedaudience during the other songs. The entire group consists of highly talented musicians. One of the two folk guitarists shared lead singing honors with the female vocalist, both doing professional,commendable jobs. The group showed their versatility during one song as the guitarists switched to sitar and banjo, and the drummer played with his hands, instead of with drumsticks or brushes. He alsoplayed the glockenspiel and tambourine on other songs. The spot light burned out during this number,but it made no difference in the quality of the music. First, the darkness prevailed, then bright lightswere flicked on over the stage, temporarily blinding the audience . and performers. The sounds were still good and the spot was in operation again before the song concluded. "Thanks for the light show," oneband member said. The audience laughed and the concert continued. The laid-back audience somehowmanaged to give a round of applause, raise themselves off the floor or out of chairs and disperse at theconclusion of the hour and a half performance. Art department meets tonight An important meeting forall art majors and minors will be held at 7:30 tonight in MH 163. The meeting will deal with ideas on how students can be involved in art department policy and procedures and hiring and rehiring of the faculty.The students are filling out evaluation tests on teachers this week and will evaluate these tests as well.They will also decide if this is what they want to do in the future.

Jill Stephenson assistant to the editor Hair cannot be reviewed.in anorthodox manner, for nothing about Hair is orthodox./fe/r is not a script, a musical score or a light show.Hair is a way of life, and how does one review a life style? Of course, a sperson can say, "Well, thelighting effects weren't right in that scene," or "I couldn't understand the words in this song." But it would be the same as criticizing the decor in someone's house. Hair is a very personal experience. The castlives Hair and anyone who sees the production can't fail to realize it. The 32 tribe members aren'tacting. They are conveying their "message." That message can be summed up in the line, "Do whateveryou want to do, be whatever you want to be, just so long as you don't hurt anyone." Who can argue withthat? Hair is everything people say it isâ€”great, fantastic, etc. The reason for these superlatives issimple. Hair is a documentary of a way of life and at the same time it entertains. It says, "You're a, pig,"and smiles. No one is offended. Is it worth the outrageous admission price? It depends on who you are.If your mind is already open; if you live the show's message, then you don't need to see it, although youwill miss a satisfying experience if you don't. However, if you want to see Hair because it has a nudescene and dirty words, then double the price would not be too high. You need to see it, because it waswritten for you. Pages could be filled with descriptive adjectives and still Hair is Hair, and has to beexperienced to be appreciated. Armstrong Ensemble to perform Forrest Anderson assistant copy editorThe Walter Zuber Armstrong Ensemble will perform at 8:15 p . m . , Friday in the music-auditorium.Armstrong, who is not being rehired next year as a lecturer in the music department, calls theperformance "Music of Nineteen Seventy," lus farewell concert to Western. Special guest artist, PrinceLasha,. from San Francisco, California, will be featured with Armstrong. Lasha, who plays flute,saxaphone and bass clarinet, has cut several records with famous recording artists. Armstrong said that he wanted to "really thank" the music department for making money available to hire Lasha for t heperformance. The ensemble will perform until approximately 12:30 a m , playing eight compositions, sixwritten by Armstrong. The ensemble's finale, "Oh Lord, Save Us," Armstrong hopes will be the heaviestsong of the night. The song protests the many people who have been killed all over the world, andexpresses a feeling Armstrong has felt for quite some time. " . . . One of these days it will happen tous," some of the lyrics go. Armstrong emphasized that too many people aren't involved in the deathsand suffering of others unless it happens close to home. Concerning the song he said, "I haven't heardthe melody yet, but, with God's help, I'll have it down by next Friday." Gavin Walker, a jazz musicianfrom Vancouver B.C. who has played with jazz musicians John Handy (from San Francisco) and DonThompson (from Vancouver, B.C.) will be a guest artist, playing alto saxophone. The ensemble includes Michael-Ann Burnett, cello; Jeannette Bland, bassoon; Alvin Harris, drums; Armstrong, clarinet andflute, and David Piff, piano. J MADE FROM U.

But here it is the end of the year and there he is leading the pack with a .327 mark. Miller's four-year career is full of such comebacks. Time andagain he has had to fight to make the ballclub, only to earn a starting slot the latter half of the, season.Thus he has joined a seiect group of Viking athletes, who have earned four-letter awards. What has keptMiller on the team year after year? Versatility. At Western he has, at one time or another, played everyposition except catcher. During his career on the hill Miller has seen the Western baseball team risefrom the depths of despair to one of the Northwest's finest. As a freshman the Vikings had a 3-19season. The following year they were 8-16. Not until his junior year was Miller on a winning ballclub,when the 1969 Vikings finished 15-10. This season they had a highly respectable 17-14 record a g a i ns t much stiffer competition. ,' 'â€¢ Miller, from Kirkland where he graduated from Lake Washington High School, lettered in three sports as a prep, including golf, basketball and baseball. A knowledgablebaseball man, Miller coached a Babe Ruth team to a state championship two summers ago. Next yearRoger plans to enter into a high school coaching career, a lifetime ambition of his. He will not only instill knowledge of the game into his players, but that competitive instinct that has marked his playing daysat Western. Last Tuesday Roger hit his first home run of his collegiate career against Seattle Pacific. Itwas a fitting climax to a fine career for a most valuable Viking. Roger Miller (20) hit .327 and helped leadthe Viks to a 17-14 season. / Western Front photo by Shoblom Rugby club tiesUW Western's rugbyclub fought the University of Washington to a 0-0 tie last Friday at Civic Field. Both teams weresomewhat sluggish, but this was mainly because neither team had seen action in over a month. In thefirst half of play, the Viks mounted several offensive drives, but were unable to get the ball across thegoal line. Western did have one chance at a score on a penalty kick, but the attempt of about 40 yardswas narrowly missed. In the second half, it was more of the same, Western determined to score andthe Husky defenders even more determined to stop the Viks. A large crowd was on hand to watch thegame, including many spectators who had never witnessed a rugby contest before. The1 different styleof play and rules left many bewildered. The game also wrapped up the season for Western's rugby club which began playing last fall. TT l â€ž Â« . gt; ^ Â« ^ Â« - . Â» Â« * Â» * . ^ Â» Â« .

Attitudes definitely reflect theproblem. The desire to change those attitudes represents the goal. People have asked what canstudent government do in an attempt to affect the feelings and beliefs of people that are splitting thiscountry apart. At Western" we have a fantastic opportunity to be effective. It will take a definite changein perspectives, in goals for the students' governmental organization. I feel that we must become morethan, just a service oriented organization. We must take up a different challenge. We must begin toeffect change in areas of academic reform, ecology, and social change and continue in our efforts forstudent voice in the college decision-making process. Noel Bourasaw, in his keynote- address, pointedout steve that students are not listened to off the college campus. If this is true, students and theirgovernments on campuses nationwide must effect a change which will make them respected. Thisplatform has been diligently worked on and improved Jo make it representative of all. And with your help, it will be precisely that! Steve Cooper AS presidential candidate The cry for power in and of itself is avacuous demand. However the specific forms of our immediate demands may vary, the long range goalthat motivates and directs us is our intense longing to be respected as equal members in this academic community. We must not be junior partners to the faculty or the administration. The central concern ofstudent government must be focused on education. One positive step toward contemporizing educationwould be to place voting students on the president's advisory â€¢ 1 committee. Traditional educationhas all but ignored the individual who would like to plan his own field of concentration. A step towardrectifying this p r o b l e m , and toward contemporizing . education, would be to initiate a Liberal ArtsDegree. I support the strike. I feel the strike is necessary to focalize our attention on the inadequacy ofour government in allowing individuals to be heard. I will continue to support the strike as long as it doesnot infringe upon the rights of any student, or administrator or faculty member here at Western. Thepurposes and aims of student government, crouched as they are in the language of generalities, are notvague. If these priorities are understood and accepted by s t u d e n t s , faculty and administration, theprogram will have direction. We have the opportunity to make these priorities a reality.

Here's mud in your face.... At the end ofeach summer, football prognosticators across the country "shoot the stars" for their favorite college team,stretching the limits of optimism to explain why "the team" will be Number 1 this year. Yet for someunknown reason, no one bothers to take a crack at the more academic side of learning institutions. Andsince this may be the last mud we sling for the Front, we intend to forcast Western's future as we see it in several key problem areas. And not necessarily optimistically. â€”The continuing saga of the Jerry Florawitch-hunt should end with Flora still in this college's driver's seat. Other administrators under him maynot be so fortunate. Western's do-little Provost should soon be searching for a new do-nothing job, as may the Dean of Faculty Research who seems to be on one continuous vacation. . -The Faculty Councilappears to be losing prestige and power to the Senate, and justifiably so. Anyone who has attended aFaculty Council meeting would probably concur that the group strongly resembles a do-nothing toy, theoperation of which is enough to send even the most chronic insomniac off to sleep. -AssociatedStudents, or the corporation, whatever they're calling themselves these days, appears to be under theguidance of a very competent leader, Jim Kennedy. Possessing a keen, rational mind apparently brim-fullof new ideas, Kennedy should be able to sort out the turmoil and tangles AS presently finds itself in, andturn that group back into a credible organization. -The AS vs. Western suit will probably be settled in asplit decision. The AS will undoubtedly be acknowledged as owner and operator of the Bookstore andLakewood, but it seems inconceivable that AS will be pronounced as a corporation separate fromWestern. We're looking for ward to listening to the deals the college will come forward with when theylearn they've lost the bookstore and have no voice in its operation. â€”Tenure? Yech! Western seems tohave a tradition of rewarding boring, instructors like the Ross husband/wife team in Chemistry/Biology with tenure, and full professorship. Brilliant, and exciting professors like John Searle of Chemistry, voted thedepartment's outstanding instructor last year, are rewarded with a swift boot to the rear. Hopefully the All-College Senate will be able to work out a more equitable system of tenure and promotion than the onewhich presently exists. - I t is a good thing that enrollment is down this next year, because maybe withless students the registration procedure can actually be made efficient. Maybe a registration method canbe discovered which won't encourage students to forge professors' names on blue slips, lie about creditloads, or steal others' registration appointments to ensure getting the classes they need. Good luckRegistrar's office, you've got a long way to go. â€”There are others on campus who deserve a handful ofmud in their faces, but instead of wasting space on them we'd like to congratulate a group on a job welldone. Secretaries of Western, where would this place be without you? LYN WATTS It can't happen here- or did it ? The American Gestapo is alive and well in Alabaster, Alabama. Last week the NationalGuard, protectors of our rights as stated in the Constitution, took over Alabaster. They played war games with naive citizens who knew nothing except that they were being threatened. After the mayor wascaptured by six guardsmen with M-16's, the townsfolk formed a posse and apprehended the reserves asthey were trying to surround a house. The National Guard headquarters of course denied any knowledgeof the incident, and "refused to comment." It's very fortunate for Alabaster that it's situated in apredominately red-neck area, and its citizens had some experience with groups like the Klan. To themviolence was violence, and had to be dealt with accordingly. It is a source of unending amazement thatno one was killed or even injured. But, besides the obvious gross injustice Alabaster experienced at thehands of one of our armed services, there lies a smog of questioning fear. What was the guard practicingfor? Do the powers that be feel that violent revolution is so close that guerrilla warfare must be practiced in American cities? Or, was this the trial run of an effort to create an absolute police state? Were theguardsmen just having "a little fun?" This incident was treated as human interest by all the news media,the same treatment a cat stuck in a tree would receive. Is that a manifestation of the fact that our societyis so conditioned to violence, so saturated by blood, guts and gore, so anesthetized to atrocities bygovernment agencies, that anything could happen and be accepted? Tomorrow morning we could wake up to find that field maneuvers had forced the abduction of Dean Mac. Red Square would make an excellentfield headquarters, with sub-machine guns mounted on the Nuguchi sculptureand interrogation going on in Fischer Fountain. What would be done? What could be done? When a town can be attacked byNational Guardsmen, and the incident passed off as some sort of perverse humor, something is amiss. To this writer the Alabaster episode is one of the most thought provoking and fearful events of recent times.It can't happen here? Bullshit. MARIE HAUGEN sweeps drawing to close by Jack Broom Withtomorrow night's Board of Trustees meeting drawing ever closer, betting in Western's "guess thepresident" sweepstakes is entering its final stages. The contest, being conducted by noted Las Vegasoddsmaker Jimmy the Geek, is giving armchair trustees a chance to outguess the board for big bucksand a two-week paid vacation to the lobby of the Mount Baker theater. Participants are asked to state 30reasons, in 25 words or less, why they think that College President Charles J. Flora should be fired, andif so, why not. Members of the Faculty Council, requesting the trustees to give Flora the ax, are noteligible for the "guess the president" sweepstakes. Geek, who rates Flora as a 6-5 favorite to retain hisposition, said yesterday that the betting total had climbed to an unexpected $14.95. Explaining hiscomplicated system of evaluation, Geek said he has given Flora a rating of 4.789 on a scale of -10. Geeksaid that if Flora's rating slips as low as -9, the trustees would be obligated to ask for his resignation. If,however, the president's point tally should climb to +9, the trustees would be forced to demand theresignation of the faculty, since it was their idea to dump Flora. Geek gave Flora a -7.23 on his handlingof the College of Ethnic Studies faculty incident and a -4.44 on his eviction of Jeopardy, the campusliterary magazine. These minuses, which would have totaled well over the amount needed for his oustingwere countered by a score of+1.69 because "Flora" is such an easy name to spell, and a +8.001 ratingbecause nobody else wants the job. Geek also believes that Flora picked up a few valuable percentagepoints by declaring in June that he has "complete confidence" in the trustees. The Faculty Council,meanwhile, has made no such overtures to the board, and is rumored to be preparing a request that thecredentials committee unseat the current board in favor of a more representative body. Faultycommunication with the faculty has rated Flora a -1.088, according to Geek, who says that Flora lostanother .999 percentage point in July when a Western Front editorial came out in support of him. In hisplush Las Vegas office, Geek will tally the returns tomorrow night for an almost instantaneousassessment of the board's action. If the board decides to let Flora go, a red light will go on on Geek'sICU2TV monitor, orange smoke will be visible above Old Main, and a pink slip will be automaticallydropped into Flora's next pay check. As a last reminder, Geek told the Front that all entries must bepostmarked by last night and in his hands by yesterday afternoon. A complete list of all finalists andgrand prize winners will appear next Sunday, upside down and backward on the editorial page of theBellingham Cosmopolitan. Once again the contest is not open to students, faculty, or staff of WesternWashington State College, their families or employers, or employees of the state of Washington, theirfamilies or relatives, or friends, enemies or godchildren of College President Charles J. Flora. This offervoid where not prohibited by law. fK^^XflrZâ€” "No one denies that he h other hand, it was a - ad theright to hoi drag having him a â€¢^^^m^ F "IIKV-d dissident views. On the round."

Yesterday I received notification of Financial Aid totalling $200 for theacademic year 1972-73. My application stated that I needed $1575 in financial assistance in order toattend school next year. Either you did not believe the sincerity of my need or you enjoy playinghumiliating jokes on people, because there is no way I can go to school on $200. I realize that funds are limited which are available for granting students financial aid. One the other hand, there seem to befactors of my situation which you fail to appreciate. Because I am under 21, I had to file a PCS.According to that statement you probably figured that my parents could afford to help me throughcollege, which they most likely can. The fact of the matter is they won't, and that I am under 21 shouldhave no bearing on whether or not I am an independent adult. For 10 months I have been financially andotherwise free and independent of my parents, and I don't anticipate ever reverting to dependence uponthem. Since they are entirely separate people, their financial situation is entirely irrelevant to my own.One might as well say that since Howard Hughes has money, Margaret Elwood has no need for financial aid. The connection is absurd. Another failure of your system was in communication regarding mycurrent address. A month ago I sent the office of the registrar my San Francisco address withinstructions to give it to all other departments of the c o l l e g e who needed to correspond with me thissummer. Ye t you n o t i f i c a t i on mailed my of financial a s s i s t a n c e to my parents' address,where it waited two weeks to be forwarded, and I did not receive the notification until yesterday, July 4.Please note t h a t the deadline for my acceptance to be returned to your office is July 5, one day later.Gives me a fair chance to take advantage of your miserable offer, yes? From which I can only concludethat a lowly student, for whom the college is advertised as being designed to serve, is of the leastconcern of any part or policy of the college. I also concluded that the energy of the employees of thecollege and the money sucked in from taxpayers, private donors and the young people who attend ischanneled primarily into perpetrating the system of the college. Caring about people seems not to be apriority. Having been screwed by your system to where it would be impossible for me to attend schoolnext year if I wanted to, I'd like everyone in your office and as far throughout the institution as voice cancarry to know that, IF YOU DON'T WANT ME, BY GOD I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DOWITH YOU EITHER, SO THERE!!!!!! In war, Margaret Elwood Pedal peddler pushes punch StanleyHarris, 13, is a budding entrepreneur, or as Webster would say, "one who undertakes the risk of sale for profit." Stanley has been a familiar sight on campus this summer selling assorted juices from a three-wheeled bicycle stand he and a friend built. As Stanley put it, "I've been selling since the sun startedshining." He was a little vague on his profit margin and costs of production, but had a fine understanding of the basic principles of marketing. When asked why he had moved from his original spot in RedSquare he said it was "because there wasn't as much business there." The profits from the businesswill go towards spending money on his vacation when he travels to California with his parents later onthis summer. If you want juice you have to get to him early because his day ends when the juice isgone. And you knowâ€”it doesn't taste bad at all. Right. Stanley Harris pours juice for Steve Neff.

And at 4 a.m. of the morning we were to climbForbidden Peak, getting out of a warm sleeping bag to face a stiff frigid wind seemed a most insane form of masochism. Our group, sponsored by Western's Outdoor Programs, had hiked five arduous miles the day before into Boston Basin, a cirque surrounded by the massive Johannesburg, Boston, S a h a l eand F o r b i d d en mountains. Arriving at the cirque by 1 p.m. left us with nothing to do, so six of usleft the other four party members in camp and climbed 8800 ft. to Sahale peak. We arrived back in basecamp in time to stuff ourselves on dinner, and make preparations for the next day's climb. Somehow,seven of us got out of bed that next morning; cursing our own stupidity and also the three girls who hadcome along just for the hike in and were still in bed. After a hot breakfast of noodles and tea, andspending a half hour checking and rechecking our gear, we finally set off. Forbidden is a typical NorthCascades mountain, in the sense that it has an extensive apron of open snow slopes combined with acap of steep, crumbling rock. The snow is usually easy to negotiate, being just a matter of setting onefoot in front of the next and keeping a wary eye out for crevasses. The rock is much different. Hand andfoot holds which you're holding onto for your life suddenly break off from their niche, bouncing thousandsof feet to the valley below; the sense of death's nearness is a constant companion while climbing loosecascade rock. The first section of Forbidden is a fairly simple if tedious snow climb; with no crevasses.to skirt, the only hassle is trying to stay awake and alert for the excitement to begin. But when theexcitement does begin, it comes with a rush. We had left our crampons, ice axes and the snowfieldsbehind. The ridge we had finally reached was- the one leader Ron Sheats said we had to go over. Wethen had to drop 50 feet down the other side, and traverse across the mountain's northeast face to theroute to the summit. But that first fifty feet! Peering over the side of the knife-edged ridge, the only thingvisible was Boston Glacier about 2,000 feet straight down. Even Ron looked a bit shaky as he NancyScherer rappels off the top.of Forbidden. The summit is visible to her right. Counseling expands internprogram For those who have been scared away from the counseling center by the long waiting list, thecenter's intern program has changed this situation. The training program, which began in spring of 1970,uses graduate interns as counselors who are supervised by the center's staff and psychologydepartment faculty. The counseling center staff is very excited about the training program according toSaundra Taylor, director of the center. "The interns provide a service to students while they getimportant training in counseling techniques," she said. The intern program also allows the center to seemore students. At the same time this leaves counselors available for emergency situations that ariseand available for consultation with other campus services, such as the sex information office, the healthcenter and the placement office. Taylor wishes to assure students that because the interns aresupervised, the quality of service is not diminished. "Often students can relate better to interns becausethey are closer to them in age. A much better rapport is often established," Taylor said. This summerthere are seven interns working in the center, the largest number ever. This has allowed the center toexpand its services and given the two half-time counselors on the staff more time to work with otherservices. Taylor hopes this program can help the center reach out to students here this summer whohave been "toying with the idea of coming in. I want to let them . know that someone is available." Thesun rises above surrounding peaks as climbers approach the end of Forbidden's snow fields. slowly edged his way down the apparently sheer rock face. A few minutes later the rest of us made it to the ledgeRon had reached, and it began to seem that maybe this traverse wasn't so difficult after all. It was still a straight drop to the glacier below for anyone who fell, but the abundant hand and footholds provided usWith a slight margin of safety. The rest of the traverse wasn't too difficult, except for the times when aparticularly sheer wall had to be crossed and no handholds were available. It was then simply a matter of hoping the footholds were solid, and if they weren't hoping someone would catch us if a fall occurred.After an hour of inching along testing every thing we stepped or held onto, we reached the ravine whichled directly up to the summit. Moving quickly up this, we reached a ridge which was the final obstaclebefore the top. But this ridge easily earned the mountain its name. On both sides the ridge droppedstraight off; at its widest the ridge was about 4 inches. The only way to move was to grasp the edge,push off with the feet and shuffle along with the body's rear hanging out over the glacier below. Once weall passed this part, a fixed rope was set up and we followed it to the top. The 8,900 ft. high summit had a total of maybe 10 square feet to it; on three sides there was a vertical drop of about 3,500 ft. The viewto all sides was tremendous, but was somewhat ruined by the frightening slopes we had climbed up and still had to climb down. All my fears about climbing down were unwarranted however, because werappelled down the worst parts. Rappelling down a vertical rock face was a bit unsettling at first, butbouncing down the rock with a rope around the waist was fun after the newness of the experience woreoff. The traverse back was much worse than before, mainly because we were all tired and got off themain route several times. But we all made it back over the ridge without incident, and agreed the traverse and climb up was the most time any of us had ever spent in such an exposed situation. The rest of theclimb down was done in about 20 minutes, glissading all the way. Back at basecamp: climbers wearyfrom the day's exertion, relax and stuff themselves with food before the 5-mile hike out to the cars. ---------- Western Front - 1972 August 1 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, August 1, 1972 Western Front 5 Bellingham food bank overdrawn by KATHI SANDBOEBellingham's food bank is going bankrupt because of lack of volunteers and food donations. The bank,which has been struggling to survive since a year ago this month, desperately needs volunteer workers.Also, the lack of donations available to stock the empty shelves has already forced the food bank to cut back its hours to only Mondays and Fridays. Although hours are posted as 1 to 4 p.m., the bank isoften forced to close early because they have run out of food. The bank, located in the Salvation Armybuilding on Prospect St., is presently spending nearly $100 a week from its dwindling budget trying tokeep its shelves stocked. Statistics from the bank's records show that in the month of June 136 familiesand 274 individuals received food. From the months of February to June, 67 7 families and 1 ,477individuals were assisted. Summer vacations are one of the reasons for he shortage of volunteersaccording to the Reverend Anthony Louwerse, one of the bank's coordinators. "It's also difficult to keepp e o p l e with 'traditional middle-class values' to stay as volunteers," said Louwerse. "They can't getover the hang-up of guarding the food." Workers are also bothered by the abuse that is common withthis type of community service. Although recipients are under no obligation to the bank, false addresseshave often been given. Another strain on the food bank's limited services is the fact that welfareorganizations refer people to the bank for help. "The grants welfare give barely cover rent much lessfood. People can't live on the Bank co-ordinator Anthony Louwerse, ponders food shortages. grantsalone," Louwerse said. The food bank itself is also a referral agency. Its guidelines state that, "While the food bank's main purpose is providing emergency food, it is not the o n l y purpose. Informing recipients of other avenues of assistance such as food stamps, and being an over-all resource to the people isalso part of our objective." Volunteers are trained and oriented to the work. The orientation deals mainlywith attitudes, "to get middle-class volunteers to accept people as they are, people different from them," Louwerse states. Workers are trained in keeping records and interviewing r e c i p i e n t s . They arealso Western's weed fiends arise! by MARIE HAUGEN Gardeners of Bellingham unite! The AS organicgarden needs you. The Sven Hoyt memorial garden, located beside Buchanan Towers, was plantedseveral weeks ago. Volunteers are needed to combat the weeds, which are growing as fast as thecauliflower and potatoes. Sven Hoyt was working closely with Jim Kennedy, chairman of the board of the AS corporation, on plans for the garden when he was drowned in early July. Approximately 25volunteers planted the garden, and about five are still working on it, Kennedy said. The half-acre gardenwill be for the use and enjoyment of the entire college. Some of the produce will be donated to theBellingham Food Co-op, and the rest will be used by the participants. "The garden will provide idealecological use of dormant land, be a healthy learning experience for the participants and be an aesthetic asset to the college," Kennedy said. The creation of an organic garden follows the ideas set forth in acampus environmental statement issued last spring, Kennedy added. The essence of the statement isthat Western assumes responsibility for the ecological status of the land around it, and will "minimizethe harmful impact of the college on the land of Whatcom County." Permission for temporary use of theland for a garden was granted June 30 by Gerald Brock, Western's assistant business manger. Thecollege has the right to withdraw approval of the garden, and if it does AS must return the area to seeded grass land. People wishing to pull weeds, water plants and meet organic people may call 676-8616 formore information. acquainted with other services available such as, food stamps, the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), and the Low Income C i t i z e n 's Committee. The food bank is presently trying toco-ordinate itself with other volunteer groups. They would like to see the groups form one board with afull-time director. "We are in a transition period, struggling to exist until we can co-ordinate our efforts,"Louwerse said. Bank members are already over-worked, striving to keep the bank going in their after-work hours. Having seen the present system of relying on church members to bring food donations with them to services fail, bank co-ordinators are considering ideas such as food barrels in grocery stores as donation sources. The food bank's main c o n c e r n is m a n p o w e r. Volunteers are needed to work in the bank and others to canvass the community to collect food items. Or maybe someone to explainto recipients why the food bank is no longer open. Four stops are better than one To those drivers whohave not yet noticed, and there are probably quite a few, there is something new on Garden Streetâ€”afour-way stop. The city of Bellingham's traffic department turned the corner of Garden and Chestnutstreets into a four-way stop Monday. This was done to prepare a one-way system that will beimplemented by mid-August. Chestnut will be made a one-way street, so traffic would have to bestopped on Garden. "We want people to get used to the idea of stopping there," said a traffic department employee. Although to many drivers the new signs came as quite a surprise, the city feels it dideverything it could to notify people. Announcements of the stop signs were made on the radio and in the Bellingham Herald after the decision was passed by the Department of Public Works. The city alsoplaced stop ahead signs on Garden street Friday to warn drivers. August graduation fees due ThursdayFees for August degree and certificate candidates are due by Thursday, Aug. 4. Fees are being accepted from 8:30 to 4 p.m. at the cashier's window in Old Main 119.

I y/z Career planning essential for modern job placement by SANDIROUSE The Career Planning and Placement Center offers many advantages to the Western student;people who use the center have a much better chance of getting a job. Formerly, the center was calledthe Placement Office. The name was changed to indicate to students the complete services offered,according to Louis Lallas, the Center's director. In the past, when the job market was good, there wasless emphasis on career planning. Now with the job shortage, it is a good idea for the student to knowbeforehand the supply and demand of the job in which he is interested. Traditionally, only the placement part of the center has been utilized, with students often waiting until their senior year to make contact,the center, however, is set up to help the student in three stages beginning with his freshman year. The first stage, career planning, should begin in the last part of the freshman year or the first part of thesophomore year. This is the time when most people will be establishing their majors and minors. Whenyou first come in there are people available to sit down and work with you. "This stage c o n t i n u e s th r o u g h the sophomore and junior years," Lallas said, "it is an on-going process." Library use and job counseling are available at any time. During the first quarter of his senior year, a student should enterinto the second stage of the program. This is the time when he is phasing out of his college program and actually seeking a job. At this time, he should come into the center and formally register. This meansthat he will establish a set of placement credentials. This is actually a resume file to use in support ofany job applications, now and later. Once a student has established credentials, he is eligible to takepart in the on campus recruiting program and the job notification program. "Once registered," Lallassaid, "we can assist him in the skills necessary to find a job. We are convinced," he emphasized, "thatfrom what people tell us, there are certain skills to be developed in seeking a job." I n t e r v i e wtechniques, c o m p o s i n g resumes and techniques in letter writing are all skills which need . to bedeveloped by the job applicant. "There are definite do's and don'ts that turn recruiters on or off andstudents need to be aware of what they are," Lallas said. "We would like to tell kids about them,because it would make their life a lot easier." Materials and counseling are available at the center todevelop these skills. The third stage of the program involves the services to the alumni of Western. They may always activate their credential file to use in seeking new jobs or promotions. It is a life long record file and can be sent to any prospective employer or used as support Late at night, long after everyoneelse has gone to bed, the staff-Lyn 'Blackfoot' Watts, Jay 'Shades' Eckert and Marie 'Southern Comfort'Haugen-work hard to bring you the news. New minor offered in women's studies A w o m e n ' s s t u d ies interdisciplinary minor has been established at Western. The p r o g r am will facilitate coordinationof relevant courses already being taught in various departments. Meredith R. Cary of the E n g l i s hdepartment and coordinator of the minor said that while the program is not job oriented, a student couldapply t h e studies to "almost anything." The program may be included in the teacher educationcurriculum in the future, according to Cary. The 30-hour women's studies curriculum includes three 4-hour core classes. The student may choose 18 hours of electives from more than 15 related classes."The classes will not just be 'women's studies' classes," Cary emphasized. The elective courses inluderhetoric of social protest, Speech 497h-;- political socialization, Political science 481; and decisionmaking in the family, Home ec 230. Howard Harris will teach the i n t r o d u c t o r y core class,Soc/anth 397. The course will survey the status of women in a variety of social systems ana cultures.The psychology core class, taught by Saundra Taylor will analyze major personality theories and theirviews of women. The images of women in contemporary literature will be examined in the English coreclass instructed by Cary. The creation of the minor enables interested students to have an advisor in thearea. This will help prevent reliance on m i s g u i d e d i n f o r m a t i on concerning courses in the field, according to Cary. "The program will also serve as a reminder to the college community of theimportance of working the topic into the general.curriculum."... .. (Classified ADS 111 CARS ANDCYCLES p 1969 MGB-GT.

The structure, designed by architect Henry Klein, isscheduled to be completed next spring by Wick Construction Co. The new recital hall, which can now be seen sweeping out over the Garden Street by-pass, will have continental seating; there will be no central aisles. The stage will be on the same level as the first row of seats and will be large enough to'accommodate a large orchestra. The floor of the- hall will rise steeply, giving all seats a maximum viewof the stage. The hall will be reserved strictly for music presentations and recitals, freeing the presentauditorium for theater and lecture purposes. A large lobby is to be added to the present one serving theauditorium. P l a n s call for the construction of" a new lobby entrance; the entrance to the existingauditorium will be glazed over to enclose studio offices. A large modern music library will be constructed over the lobby which will include seminar and listening rooms, as well as a d d i t i o n a l practice andclassroom space. -The cement structure closest to the Bookstore will remain unfinished until 1975,under Phase II of the project. This will include two two-story rehearsal halls along with practice roomsand studio offices. The roof of the building will eventually become a brick plaza, connected to the VUplaza by a bridge.

The mortality rate for abortion is 8.2 per 100,000 as compared to 20 deaths per100,000 live births. â€¢ A survey of 72,988 women who underwent legal abortions disclosed that 10 percent developed complications, but only one per cent suffered major complications according to the JulyScientific American. The Joint Program for the S t u d y of Abortion was conducted by the PopulationCouncil and covered the period from mid-1970 to mid-1971. The survey, conducted by Christopher Tietze and Sarah Lewit, covered abortions performed in 60 hospitals and six clinics in 12 states and theDistrict of Columbia, about one-seventh of all legal abortions performed in the U.S. during that period. Inmid-1970, of women seeking abortion 72 per cent were White, 22 per cent were Black and 6 per centbelonged to other ethnic groups. By mid-1971 the proportions had changed to 63 per cent White, 30 per cent Black and 7 per cent other ethnic groups. Events TODAY- 12:30 p.m.: "Phantom Toll Booth,"Lecture Hall 3, 25 cents.

Seabury says that with 3,000 people in the organization in 1968, theAFW was a prime factor in the election of Evans, Gorton and Kramer to their respective state offices.The group will back the same three candidates this year. AFW is not tied to any political party, butSeabury admits that "we tend to back 'progressive Republicans'." All three of the candidates the AFWis backing this year are Republicans. Seabury says the AFW is p r i m a r i l y funded by "Republicanfat cats," but is quick to point out that many of the state Republican party officials consider AFW athreat to the two-party political system. Candidates which the AFW will support during an election year are chosen by the Board of Directors of the group, of which Seabury is a member. Evans, Gorton andKramer were chosen this year because of their "outstanding records as state officials," Seabury says.To qualify for membership into AFW, the members of the group pledge to work for these candidates forthree months to the best of their ability. Each local AFW organization, usually located in the state'slarger cities, can endorse and work for local candidates of any party in addition to the state-widecandidates. AFW does not back national candidates because, Seabury says, AFW has both McGovern and Nixon people working for it and he hopes to keep it that way. In backing its state-wide candidatesAFW uses several techniques which it claims are highly successful. Perhaps the most unique of SteveSeabury these is the doorbell blitz. The blitz concept involves several hundred AFW volunteersdescending on a single city and in the space of a few hours doorbelling every house in town on behalf ofthe AFW-backed candidates. After the doorbelling is over, the volunteers get together at a pre-arrangedspot for a party and often to meet with the candidates. In 1968, AFW blitzed most of Spokane andTacoma with over 400 volunteers the weekend before the general election. Another effective techniquewhich AFW uses is called the fly-in. AFW flies candidates around the state in a short period of time tomeet voters in strategic areas. In 1968 Art Fletcher, who was backed by AFW for Lt. Governor, andGorton were flown around the state to every major college campus and talked to thousands, of studentsin two days. When candidates are going to visit a town, AFW "advance men" in teams of five comb thetown searching for those areas of high usage where a candidate can speak to the most people in the s h o r t e s t amount of time. Seabury says this is one of the most valuable services to the candidates. we give gimM forjffl/rkotsL Mad ilnis fyrSmimmn â€¢ You know, the ones, yon probably didn't need anyway.

Baker, asophomore political science major from Juneau, took over Al Doan's presidency after Do an resigned forpersonal reasons two weeks ago. "The rules of the college administration simply maintain the statusquo while student government seriously wants to make some changes," Baker told the Western Front in an interview Friday. Baker's major priority for this quarter will be to make the Associated Students more efficient, representative and flexible. "We hope to accomplish this priority through the results of n e g o t i a t i o n s with the administration over the demands of last quarter and through reorganization of theAS legislature," Baker explained. He added that the proposed faculty-student pub on campus would beless emphasized under his administration. "I have turned the entire issue over to Al Doan since he ismost vitally interested in its success," Baker said. Doan is working for Baker as administrative assistant this quarter. Baker noted that student government had several new projects of major interest tostudents under consideration. "We have several people working on a report to the Office of EconomicOpportunity in an effort to obtain federal aid for our legal services project on campus," Baker remarked."In addition, we also hope to obtain federal aid for student co-op housing." Baker, who was elected ASvice president during last Spring quarter's general election, said that he "hasn't had time" to considertossing his hat into this year's AS presidency race. "I'm swamped with other priorities right now," heâ€¢said. representative and flexible. -photo by shoblom the western front Vol. LXII no. 19 WesternWashington State College Bellingham, Washington 92825 Tuesday, January 20, 1970 10c Two-hourparking tabled, hassle continues The Bellingham Board of Public Works (BPW) has decided to table any further decision on the proposal to impose time restrictions on parking on streets surrounding thecollege until April 6, according to Serge Slagle, AS representative to the meeting. It had beenannounced at Friday's all-college meeting that the BPW was to discuss the two-hour parking restrictionat yesterday's meeting. Several other current parking issues were discussed before an estimated 400persons at Friday's meeting. After a brief description of the many parking problems, Wally Sigmar, ASlegislator, opened the meeting to questions from the floor. Barney Goltz, director of campus planning,blamed "over-population based on previous estimates" as the main cause of the current situation butsaid "there are no definite and immediate solutions." "We had a plan to effectively cope with the parkingsituation before Western accepted, rightly or wrongly, more than 1,000 extra students. "I feel that weshould ask the state legislature to pay for these extra students," he said. Goltz emphasized the need to r e - e s t a b l i s h a friendly atmosphere between the city and college in solving the various problemsimposed by the current college expansion. He suggested that the city give the college one-year advance notice concerning changes in parking regulations affecting Western students. H. Stuart Litzsinger,director of the physical plant, noted two proposals which were currently under consideration. The firstwas a $10 million to $12 million parking ramp which would not be built in time to answer the needs ofstudents now attending Western. The second proposal considered buying a 35-acre plot of groundsouth of the campus for parking and providing shuttle-bus service on a frequent schedule. Anotherproposal, which appeared in last Thursday's Herald, asked the feasibility of using the large Civic Stadium parking lot at a nominal fee and providing shut tie-bus service from it. J.D. Adams, owner of theBellingham Transit System, is considering doubling bus service which would provide a bus every 15minutes to the campus and reducing the rates for college students to two tokens for 25 cents, according to Litzsinger. Any proposal involving the Transit System would require a study of the proposal's financial practicality, since the bus company is currently losing money. R.G. Peterson, supervisor of safety and security, said there was "no truth" to the charge that his office had asked the city to enforce thehitchhiking ordinance or impose two-hour parking restrictions in order to force students to buy parkingpermits in the paid lots. Peterson also denied the charge that the campus security force was working in conjunction with the Police Department in enforcing the ordinance against hitchhiking. "None of us hasthe power of arrest and student patrolmen cannot detain a hitchhiker until the police arrive to issue acitation," he said. He noted, however, that since 90 per cent of the security force was made up ofstudents, a patrolman might advise a fellow student that he was breaking the law. Jerry Field, senior,political science, speaking from the floor, described the student as a second-class citizen who wasfrequently "milked" by the city. "There is too much apathy on campus. Each student should devoteserious thought and oppose the passage of two-hour parking restrictions," he said. Huxley Dean toexplain goals at EQC meeting Dr. Gene Miller, newly appointed dean of Huxley College, will speakbefore the Environmental Quality Council (EQC) at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27 in VU 350. Miller'sappointment as dean was announced September of last year. Classes at Huxley will begin next Fallquarter. According to Ted Boss, chairman of the EQC, Miller will discuss the environmental sciencescluster collegeâ€”its goals and its relation to environmental quality. This will be the first EQC meeting ofthe Winter quarter. Proposed projects this quarter are 1) the publishing of a weekly environmentalnewsletter, with articles listing all news relating to the environment, and 2) the construction of a detailedplan for a footpath along Whatcom Creek, between the freeway and City Hall. Boss added that "themain goal of the Environmental Quality Council at Western is to make the public aware of all aspects ofthe environment-air,, water and open spaces, and to show how these aspects are interrelated andreduced to one common denominator, namely population." The area involved in the two-hour parking limit the city may impose about the campus is indicated by the dotted lines. The lines form the perimeter ofthe area affected, with all streets along and within that perimeter subject to the time limit.F~* tww gt;SMmi?m!i#mw gt;eiw gt;$Â®!#*?$* - ---------- Western Front - 1970 January 20 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 20, 1970 Flora calls for new promotion criteria The mere mention of"publish or perish" was once enough to keep aspiring college professors in nightmares. But thatcontroversial and heated issue is dead, according to one man on campus. College President CharlesFlora assured the faculty last week that Ph.D.'s without formal publication records would be able to"climb as high as possible" within the academic community. While Flora dismissed publication recordsas major criteria for reviewing teacher candidates and mandatory criteria for granting tenure toprofessors, he quickly called for new requirements. "We must become more demanding and exacting in evidence before we hire new teachers and grant tenure," Flora said. He informed department chairmenthat teacher candidates must show "excellent potential as a scholar and as a teacher" before beinghired. In addition, he remarked that solid evidence from both a teacher's peers and students that he is acompetent teacher would be required before tenure will be granted in the future. "When in doubt, we willdeny tenure," Flora warned. He called for all instructors and professors on campus to use studentevaluations as a criterion for conducting their classes. "I will require objectively administered studentevaluations from anyone seeking tenure," Flora said. Flora's remarks were made in his periodic "Stateof the College" address before several hundred faculty last Wednesday in Miller Hall. Winter enrollmentdown 4 9 3 from Fall quarter Winter quarter enrollment is 493 less than Fall quarter enrollment,according to Registrar William J. O'Neil. The registrar said last Thursday that total day enrollment forthis quarter is 8,141, compared with 8,634 last quarter. The figures include both full-time and part-timeday students. O'Neil attributed the decrease in enrollment to two factors. "We issued 232 baccalaureate degrees in December and we controlled the enrollment by not admitting any transfer students with less than 75 transferrable credits," he said. Last Winter quarter showed an enrollment of 6,229 daystudents. Public invited to discuss BOQ choice for Winter quarter William H. 0. Scott, Book of theQuarter (BOQ) chairman, will moderate a panel discussion on the Winter quarter selection at 7:30 p.m.next Tuesday in L-2. The Winter BOQ selection is The Terrible Choice: The Abortion Dilemma by theHarvard-Kennedy International Conference on abortion. The panel will include Dr. Phillip Jones, Whatcom County Medical officer; Evelyn Kest, instructor of home economics; Michael Lipscomb, Bellinghamattorney, and Jennifer Marshall, AS representative to the Washington Council for Abortion Reform.

Note: This is an officialstatement issued last week by President Charles Flora concerning the financial problems of the college.) In an earlier communication to the College Community on September 23, 1969, the enrollment andconsequent financial problems confronting the College last year and again this year were related. Subsequent to that announcement, further financial problems developed as a result of Governor Evans' efforts to reduce state spending. The combination of these factors has resulted in fiscal restrictions within thecollege such that we are this year experiencing genuine and serious financial hardships in manyprograms. At present, Western has been allocated funds for the coming year sufficient to accommodate 7,900 students. However, our officially projected enrollment is 9,570. Without 'additional funding, it willbe impossible to accept this projected number. Accordingly Western, as are its sister institutions, isand will continue to make every effort to receive an appropriation to allow the larger number. But at thiswriting, it appears that such an appropriation is unlikely. Should this be true, the following courses ofaction remain: 1. Turn away as many as 1,670 (or more) qualified students who would seek to attendWestern. 2. Increase student fees to a level commensurate with the average for colleges like our own($264/year for Washington State colleges, $3 70/year in comparable schools). The first alternative I find unthinkable, the second undesirable. Reluctantly, I am led to the conclusion that if our efforts forincreased appropriations fail, I will be obliged to support a fee structure which brings Western closer tothe average of comparable institutions rather t h a n deny educational opportunity to many and increasethe burden upon our already beleaguered sister institutions. Flora appoints Diers: first woman head ofcampus Honors Program Dr. Carol Diers, associate professor of psychology, was appointed director ofthe Honors Program at Western by President Charles J. Flora last Tuesday. Dr. Diers has been amember of the Western faculty since 1963 and assumed her new post at the beginning of Winterquarter, succeeding Dr. Samuel P. Kelly. She will spend half her time in her new position. Kelly willremain as a member of the Honors Program board. Dr. Diers said she would like to see more "brightmales" in the Honors Program. She added there has been an "overbalance" of females in the program.FLY NAVY Officer Information Team Available Monday Thru Friday JAN. 2 1 - 23 IN EDENS HALLQualification Tests Will Be Given NO OBLIGATIONS She also noted that the Program has changedrecently. An "exploratory" quarter is available to students, allowing them to do independent research ortravel for credits. It is also possible for a student to make up his own major with two or moredepartments, providing he has the Honor Board's approval. Asked how it felt to be the first womanappointed director of the Honors Program at Western, or possibly at any college, Dr. Diers said: "Iprobably don't feel much different than if I were a man." The Honors Program concerns the yearlyselection of some 20 college freshmen to join about 40 upperclassmen in tutorials and colloquia, special courses and seminars offered to accelerate learning throughout its membership. Students interested in entering the program should contact either Dr. Diers or Dr. Henry Adams, professor of psychology,inMiller Hall. ---------- Western Front - 1970 January 20 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 20, 1970 Western Front 3 Coming events THURSDAY, JAN. 2 2 - 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.:Phi Alpha Theta Book Sale, new VU Foyer. 1 p.m.: Student recital, Music Auditorium. 3 p.m.: RobertHorsley, representative from Industrial Workers of the World, VU lounge. 7 p .m.: College Life VU 363.FRIDAY, JAN. 2 3 - 7 and 9:15 p .m.: Art Film, The Connection, L-4. 7:30p.m.: wrestling, Western vs.Seattle Pacific College, Carver Gym.

OCIC asks for volunteer help for March of Dimes Bob O'Neil, KPUG disc jockey andsupervisor of the Whatcom Chapter of the March of Dimes, and Mrs. B. J. Bates, March of Dimesofficial, were the guest speakers at last week's meeting of Off-Campus Interhouse Council (OCIC).O'Neil spoke in an effort to promote assistance from Western students in making the Annual Mothers'March of Thursday, Jan. 29 "more profitable than ever." He stressed the need to cope with the "ever-increasing" rise in birth defects. Any child whose mother contracted German Measles within the firstthree months of her pregnancy has only one - chance out of six of being born without some, form of birth defect, according to O'Neil. "German Measles accounts for approximately 20,000 of the children bornwith birth defects each year," he said. Marchers will be distributing information about the RubellaVaccine against the disease. OCIC and the Associated Women Students will actively support theMarch and are calling for volunteers, "male or female," to participate in the campaign. Students maysign up at the VU desk or phone the March of Dimes office at 734-9790. Profits from the March will bedistributed three ways. Half of the money will be sent to the National Foundation for Birth Defects tosupport research. Twenty-five per cent of the money will go to the Children's Orthopedic Hospital inSeattle while the remaining 25 per cent will be distributed to families within Whatcom County withchildren who have birth defects. Other topics discussed at the OCIC meeting were the Folk Festival,scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29 in the VU lounge, and the Snow Carnival, which will take place "if andwhen we get some snow." Pete White, president of OCIC, said there is still room for more studentmusicians who would like to be in the Folk Festival. John Stolpe newly appointed liason between ASand city John Stolpe, a senior political science major from Bellingham, has been appointed AssociatedStudent liaison to city government. The appointment to the new AS cabinet post was confirmed by theAS legislature yesterday. Stolpe will keep student government informed of matters discussed before theCity Council of interest to the college community. History society holds book sale Phi Alpha Theta,history honorary on campus, will sponsor a book sale from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday in the foyer of theViking Union addition. The books will include various American and European history titles priced from$1 to $1.50. Proceeds from the sale will be used to fund Phi Alpha Theta speakers and films open tothe public on campus. AS President Greg Baker said that he hopes the new post will further promotebetter relations between the city and the college. Stolpe is a former editor of the campus newspaper and currently works with the Western Front editorial staff. Unique Multi-Arts Festival promises untypicalactivity What in hell is a Multi-Arts Festival? Other than it promises to be untypical, not even theorganizers know for sure. An open meeting to discuss a planned Multi-Arts Festival scheduled here forMay 17-23 will be held at 8 p.m. Thursday in L-2. According to Paul Door pat, Seattle Helix originatorand festival planner, the organizers are looking for a festival of the whole body, not just the eyes andears. "Sensitivities are broadened by the cross-breeding of the arts-divide up the arts and we divide upourselves," Doorpat explained to the Western Front Sunday afternoon. Al Doan, former AS president, islisted among the festival's organizers. Doan added that the Multi-Arts Festival idea grew largely from astudent-interest questionnaire which he solicited during last Spring's AS general election campaign. "Alarge majority of the students polled indicated that they wanted a special festival of one sort or anotherand we hope this will be the kind of festival they wanted," Doan said. Doorpat wants to make the festival a "community thing." "It won't stay on campus and during the duration we will have to make decisionsabout which of several directions we wish to go," he said. It was no coincidence that the festival wasscheduled for the same week as Bellingham's Blossomtime Festival. "There will naturally be someinteresting cross-breedings- from that aspect," Doorpat noted. The festival's content is still up in the air."What anyone wants to do will be done and while the organizers will attempt to do everything requested,they won't be doing it themselves," Doorpat remarked. He explained that the festival will be just like thewelding of entertainer and entertained. "It will be something to lift us out of Post-Psychedelicdepressions," Doorpat said. Indonesian Ambassador explains industrial development of countryMORRENE HEAD staff reporter Indonesia is today a "pre-industrial country." Dr. Hadji Abdulgani,Indonesian Ambassador to the United Nations, said here last week. "Five kilometers from the capital,everything is still in darkness: there is no electricity, no newspaper and there is much gossip."Speaking before an estimated 100 people in the VU lounge last Wednesday, the ambassador tracedIndonesian progress since the Japanese occupation of World War II. A f t e r the war, the Nationalistsfought to maintain independence from the Dutch, who had ruled Indonesia for more than three centuries, Abdulgani related. "Indonesian nationalism is a blend of the Islamic religion, a sense of unity andpatriotism, and the sense of social justice." During the early fifties, the Scholarship to senior womenApplications are now available in the financial aids office for the 1969-70 Soroptomist scholarship. The$200 scholarship is for senior women selected on the basis of scholastic ability and financial need.Applications are available in OM 103. question was in debate: "should the goal be national unity andterritorial integrity or economic rehabilitation?" Abdulgani said. Today, "spiraling inflation has been turned down," and the population race and economic growth are the major concerns, he said. "All forms ofcolonialism are e v i l , " Abdulgani added. Therefore in 1965, Indonesia "pulled itself out of the armpit ofPeking," and in 1966 the country rejoined the U.S. after a two year absence. When asked about thenation's stand on family planning, Abdulgani said that last year the government named birth control as acornerstone of economic development. Yet, most Indonesians have a "philosophical, mental resistanceagainst birth control because they feel that to have a child is to be in the grace of God," he said. TheIndonesian government recognizes Hanoi and not Saigon, Abdulgani said. The Indonesians feel a kinship with V i e t n a m , due to the anti-colonial activities of both nations in the forties^ he explained.Contrary to what many U n i t e d S t a t es administrators feel, Abdulgani said, "Hanoi is not a puppet of Peking; there is a great deal of nationalism in North Vietnam." Abdulgani concluded by saying thatIndonesia's main goal is economic independence r e s u l t i n g ultimately in Asian-African solidarity.THE CONNECTION (U.S.A. 1962) The exploration of the world of the heroin addict and the nature ofillusion versus reality. Showing Friday January 23, 1970 Lecture Hall 4 7:00 and 9:15 p.m. AdmissionStudents $.75 - General $1.25 Short Subject "A Day with Timmy Page" wetsj JEWELERS ---------- Western Front - 1970 January 20 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 20, 1970 between the lines Doan deserves support; pub will be assetAl Doan, who stepped down from his position of AS President two weeks ago, deserves a vote of thanksfrom his electorate. Though the pressures inherent in the job test any man's endurance, Doan workedthrough Fall quarter, striving to fulfill his campaign promises. While the physical and academic strain the office produces forced Doan to resign, he has left the presidency in the hands of a capable leader, GregBaker, former vice president. Doan will still be operating in student government as Baker's administrativeassistant. In this role Doan will strive to fulfill at least one of his campaign promisesâ€”a pub oncampus. The pub issue was one of Doan's major priorities last Fall and the Western Front witnessedsincere efforts on his part to push this program through. However, the establishment of a pub is not asimple matter and both the Associated Students and the administration know full well the ramifications behind the establishment of a pub. The main argument President Flora uses is that since Western ispresently experiencing a rapid rate of expansion, there is a shortage of available space in the VikingUnion and elsewhere on campus. President Flora believes that the pub issue has lower priority than other college needs. This argument cannot be dismissed lightly. Doan's main argument for theestablishment of a pub is that it would produce revenue for Western and make this campus a morepleasant place, promoting social interaction between students and faculty, as only a pub can. Those ofus who have debated over a cool beer may well know this to be true. While we believe that the profitpicture of a pub might not be quite as optimistic as Doan has suggested, even if it made no profit at all it would still be worthwhile in terms of social interaction. Of course there are fears. One fear we believe the administration silently harbors is the possibility that students and (heaven forbid) faculty members would proceed to get inebriated in the sanctity of the pub prior to class time,â€”making for interestingdiscussions. The Western Front believes that the good outweighs the evil, however, and endorsesDoan in his efforts to bring a pub to tnis campus. The fears of some that people will be randomly passingout in front of the Viking Union are overexaggerated. A pub on campus, is not necessarily an evil,indeed, it can be an asset. It is time Western grew out of its conservative bonds and worked with Doanin obtaining a pub on campus. It is 1970, we are adults and we can make our own decisions regardingour desire to drink or not to drink. â€”Mike Gowrylow Vietnam vets merit bonus; bill keeps failing Thestate wheeler-dealers have done it again. The legislative budget committee last week failed to submit arecommendation to the special legislative session on a bill authorizing payment of a bonus to veterans of the Vietnam War. Similar bills have been defeated in the last two legislative sessions. We would like toknow why. Why are the Vietnam War veterans any different than the veterans of World War 11 and theKorean War? Veterans of the latter two wars were awarded bonuses with the funds coming partly fromthe state cigarette tax. Payment of those bonuses will be completed by June 1971 and unless thelegislature votes a bonus to the Vietnam War veterans, the cigarette tax will revert to the general fund. We believe that veterans of the Vietnam War should receive the same benefits that their predecessorsreceived. We urge veterans of the present war to write their legislators and express their opinion on thismatter. We also ask the legislators who failed to make the necessary recommendation and those whohave twice defeated the bill to publicly give their reasons. â€”Jim Austin thewestern front Official weeklynewspaper of Western Washington State College second class postage paid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 phone 734-8800 editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext. 2276 Mike Gowrylow Adele Saltzman Bob Burnett,John Stolpe Bob Taylor editor-in-chief managing editor assistant to the editor coPv editor Jim Austin DanShoblom Maryjo Hardy Bill Woodland exchange editor head photographer ad manager business manager sports editor R.

High start to New Year JOHN MILES contributor I stood in a little saddle squeezing withall my might a little plastic water bottle while the icy wind whistled past my exposed nose and blowingsnow rattled my windpants. Not a bit of nourishment was to be had from that bottle. Gary and Bob,picking icicles out of their beards, watched for a minute and then turned their steps upward, walkingdaintily on the intricately wind-sculpted crust as though not wanting to mar the symmetry of it.Occasionally, on steeper stretches, they rhythmically kicked footholds into the icy slope. I stood a whilelonger taking in the view. At this point we were well over 13,500 and perhaps over 14,000 feet, close tothe summit of Mt. Elbert, our objective. A magnificent panorama of clouds and snowy Colorado stretchedout in every direction. Clouds had been building in the valleys all morning and looked solid enough to walk on to the north. The other side of the ridge was clear and our track up the canyon, through tangles ofaspen, over avalanche show and onto the ridge was clearly visible. There was no other sign of lifeanywhere. Suddenly Bob, despite the altitude, let out an exhilarated yell as he topped the summit ridge.Removing my gaze from the incredible scenery and my body from the protected saddle, I plodded upwardand about an hour later the three of us strolled to the top of Colorado. Jan. 1, 1970, noon. Temp. -10Â°F., wind light. Scattered clouds and cold sunshine. Happy New Year! We are probably the highest(elevation wise, anyway) Americans standing on the lower '48. A helluva great way to start the decade! It was a great feeling to have overcome the cold and snow, the frozen food and waterbottles, the avalanchehazard and the distance in climbing this mountain. I couldn't help but feel this climb a good omen to be in this particular place on this particular day with these particularly good friends. I know there is hope forus all if we look for and find our world and each other like this. Magic show really sermon MIKEGOWRYLOW editor-in-chief It's possible I am extremely naive, but when I attended Andre Kole'smagical performance last Thursday I expected to see some magic. Instead I saw some pretty standardmagical tricks, most of which I could figure out without too much concentration. Disregarding theantiquity of some of the tricks performed, my main concern centered over the content of this performance. While I suppose the fact that the show was sponsored by the Campus Crusade for Christ wouldpresuppose the inclusion of some religious overtones, what I witnessed was not a magic show at all, but a traveling salvation show designed to strike fear into the hearts of all us pagans in the audience. Mr. Kole did an admirable job of citing facts that indicated that the world will soon end and the day of judgment isimminent. However, that is not why I attended this "magic" show. If I wanted to be preached to I couldattend one of the local churches in Bellingham. Mr. Kole also did a fine job of discrediting the magicalprofession during his act. I am surprised that during his denunciation of the supernatural and ESP hedidn't expose how he performed what few tricks he did do between his sermons. During one of the fewtimes I have gotten to see a magician live instead of on television, I had hoped to see a mystifyingdemonstration of ESP, witchcraft and the supernatural (as pre-show advertising suggested). But afterspoiling what mystification there was to his magic by insisting repeatedly that they were just tricks, itbecame apparent that the magical act was only a facade for Mr. Kole's religious sales pitch. My gripe isthat the only hint I had that there would be religion involved in the program was a single sentence inhandouts distributed the day of the program: "Mr. Kole will include some observations he made from hisinvestigation of the miracles of Christ from the point of view of an illusionist." When I read this I supposedthat he would do a few minutes of religious observations during the show, a slight addition in deference to his sponsors. Other advertising had no mention of religion. I got instead a routine magical show thatprogressively evolved into a sermon, with the magical facade serving to captivate the audience. Kolemasterfully dangled the later tricks before the audience, taking what seemed like fifteen minutes to do aone minute trick. In the interim he did his monologue. I don't mean to ridicule religion. To each his own.But if I decide a sermon would clear my mind of doubt and confusion, as Kole suggested many peoplesuffer from, then I would attend one. I don't like being "tricked" into one, no matter how noble the crusade. Which just goes to show: "Let the buyer beware." ---------- Western Front - 1970 January 20 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, January 20, 1970 Western Front 5 feedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedba'Happiness is a warm ride' Editor: The intent of this letter is to inform people about the hitchhikingordinance in Bellingham. The ordinance is not a new one but since Monday, Jan. 5, it has been morestrictly enforced. This ordinance makes it illegal to solicit a ride or for a driver to give a ride to a personwho is soliciting, even to a friend and presumably a relative. The fine may be heavy. A maximumsentence of 90 days and/or $300 to even first time offenders. A look at the situation. Many studentsdon't have cars and many others cannot afford the exorbitant cost of $18 per quarter to park at schoollots. It is almost impossible to find parking places on nearby streets. These students must get toschool, therefore, they walk or hitchhike, usually a little of each. I wish to make it clear that it is notillegal to accept a ride or to give a ride to a fellow human. It is only illegal when soliciting occurs. Theseason is a cold one and happiness is a warm ride. Hitchhikers: no signs, hands in pockets and bothfeet on the curb and the bust can't touch you. Drivers, please give a lift to a friend. A local chick knownto some as Annie Fanny received a ticket from Officer Groves for giving a student a ride. After a lectureand the ticket, Annie said to the officer: "I'd rather be humane than obey a law like that." Doug BuatteSophomore Student registers complaints Editor: I've decided to air my gripes: Trying to register lastquarter for the present quarter was a total absurdity. How, may I ask, are the appointments made? (Irealize it is an improvement over the former system but change is still necessary.) It would seemplausible that students with the greater number of credits would receive priority. I'm a junior and noticedsophomores registering at' the same time. If someone with fewer credits has the same opportunity totake a class, how will the student with the greater number of credits ever get into that class? (Possibly if the person with more credits has to attend summer schoolâ€”as I now have to do.) Enough people have a similar problem that a solution should be considered. Limiting enrollment? Further changes in r e g is t r a t i o n procedure? Something! When this quarter started I wanted to add a class. I went past theregistration center (3:25 p.m.)to pick up an "add" slip from Old Main. I returned immediately and was told I'd have to come back tomorrow and there was no way I could find out if the class I wanted to add wasfull. If no one can enter the registration center after 3:30 p.m.'why did the sign say 4p.m.? A fewchanges and answers would be greatly appreciated. Barbara Mallett Junior Spanish Blood bank needsdonations of the campus blood donor Illusionist show draws capacity crowd A standing-room-only crowd of 434 watched illusionist Andre Kole combine magic and the Christian gospel in an unusualpresentation of spiritualism and ESP last Thursday night in L-4. The show was sponsored by CampusCrusade for Christ. Kole used the medium of magic to expose the trickery used by people who claim tohave supernatural power. For a demonstration in ESP, Kole blindfolded himself and had four participantsfrom the audience hold objects about three inches under his fingertips. He guessed most of the objectscorrectly. "What you have just seen might better be called extra sensory deception," Kole said. "Thiswas a simple trick that anyone can do if he has the time and the money, and knows how to doit."Willful communication with the dead is impossible," Kole said, referring to spiritualism. "I have seenpeople turning to fantasy to find reality. "When I graduated from high school, I was voted the most likelyto succeed in life. "By the time I was 25, I was in charge of the state-wide operations of one of thelargest corporations in Arizona, co-owner of a ranch and doing as many as 30 to 40 shows a month. Isometimes made as much as $ 100 a minute. "Even after attaining these goals, there seemed to besomething lacking in my life. "I began to ask, Why am I here? Where am I going? What is the realpurpose of life?" "I was challenged to consider the validity of Christ and the Bible as a sceptic," he said. "I had no intention of being deceived by a first-century trickster, if that was all Jesus was." Kolediscussed five "signs of the times" which, he said, are leading to the second coming of Christ to earth.Three of these signs are a sudden increase in the frequency and intensity of earthquakes, famines andwars. Kole mentioned a sudden increase in sorcery as the fourth sign, and discussed the June, 1967Israeli war from the viewpoint of Biblical prophecy.

Clayton, soft-spoken and mild-mannered, is a picture of calmnesswhether on or off the court. Yet underneath his placid exterior burns a keen desire and determination towin. Already he has surpassed the previous high career point total for a guard. To date he has 935points, shattering Mike Kirk's record of 784 set in the early sixties. This despite playing in an offensedesigned for equal scoring opportunity, favoringâ€”if anyoneâ€”the forwards. Captain of this year's team,Clayton can handle any court challenge. An excellent dribbler, he can, if called upon, break a press byhimself or take on anyone one-on-one and score. He is also an excellent passer, always among theleaders in assists and gets his share of rebounds. Another of his attributes is Ms excellent defensiveability. Already he has 52 steals this season and is a key figure in Western being ranked among the top "stop" teams in the country. Perhaps his rarest ability is that of getting "position," causing the man heis checking to be guilty of charging. Early this season Clayton was named to the All-Tourney teamselected at the Turlock Invitational. It marked the third straight year he had so been honored. The twoprevious years he was named to the Cal-Aggie invitational tourney team. Coach Chuck Randall feelsthat Clayton would do well in professional basketball as his talents would stand out even more in theirrun-gun style of ball. What's more his defensive ability would make him twice as valuable. ThoughWestern has had few basketball All-Americans, if those selecting take all into account, there should beno question that Clayton plays that caliber of ball and is that type of a man. Hadland named mostvaluable Last Thursday night the annual Western Washington football banquet was held at theBellingham Elks' Club. Athletic Director Dr. William Tomaras presented the E v e r g r e e n Conferencechampionship football trophy to head coach Fred Emerson.

Friday night Eastern's Savages rolled to an81-63 triumph. Western's switching, sagging, man-to-man style of defense forced Eastern into 25turnovers and a miserable field goal accuracy of 29 per cent. The Viks led at halftime 36-20 and early inthe second half held the Savages without a point for six and one-half m i n u t e s , t a k i n g aninsurmountable 50-25 lead. Neal Larson, a junior from Rosburg, Wash., led the Vikings at both ends ofthe floor, putting in 16 points and making nine steals. Mike Clayton, the other half of the fine Vikingguard duo, hit 6 of 10 field goal attempts and 14 points. He also had four steals. Leading Western'sinside attack was forward Lee Roy Shults. The "Golden Bear" ripped in 15 points, grabbed off eightrebounds and had five assists. Other Vikings in the scoring column were Jeff Sherburne 9, John Reed 8, Ron Caderette 6, Dave Hemion 4, and Terry Brower 2. The Vikings hit 53 per cent f r om the floor andout-rebounded the taller and huskier Savages 41-40. Eastern's lone scorer in double figures was guardJoe Bullock with 13. Friday the story was completely reversed as Eastern using an offense made up ofone guard and four forwards romped to victory. The Savages led by Al Gale and Randy Buss, whoscored 23 and 20 points respectively, were never behind throughout the contest. Western came back to narrow a 44-34 halftime deficit to 49-43 with 13 minutes left, but Eastern scored seven unansweredpoints to squash that threat.

Ski team shows promise, lacks funds LYN WATTS staff reporter Lack of finances may hurt Western's Ski Team's chances for a high finish in theNorthwest Collegiate Ski Conference this year. Chris Karp, director of student activities and presentlyWestern's ski team coach, said last week that the ski team has little chance of completing its 10-meetschedule this year due to a lack of funds allotted to the team. Western has been invited to several largemeets including one at Banff, but this trip will probably have to be cancelled, due to a probable total cost of $700. The ski team's finances for the entire year total only about $850. The team shows goodpromise, Karp said, with a couple of veterans back from last year's team. According to Karp, GregLarson of Western is one of the best skiers in the Northwest, and can go four ways for the team. He won races last year, and promises to be even more of a threat this season. Western's schedule includes ameet at Crystal Mountain last weekend and one Feb. 6 and 7 at Anthony Lakes, Oregon.

Atleast that is what Madam Nguyen Phi Binh, head of the Provisional Revolutionary Government (PRG) ofSouth Vietnam, told delegates to a National Students Association conference at the University ofMichigan in a wire received on Saturday. Mass "actions" are being planned across the nation fortomorrow to protest "U.S. involvement in the invasion and the Nixon administration's black-out of newsconcerning the truth about the Indo-China war." Student leaders here on campus will hold a publicmeeting at 3 p.m. today in Viking Union 008 to discuss possible local response to the situation.

ARCO License Editor: The fishingresources of Whatcom County are presently threatened by the Atlantic Richfield Company, which wants to dump miscellaneous, chemical effluvia into the Strait of Georgia at Cherry Point. The list of chemicalcontents made available by the company is rather unspecific, but there are grounds for fearing thatsome, at least, of the proposed pollutants would be harmful to marine life. The situation is especiallygrave in view of the proximity of the dump site to the Lummi Aquaculture Project. All those concernedwith preventing further inroads on our already depleted fishing resources should write to the Corps ofEngineers, demanding that a public hearing be held before ARCO is granted its l i c e n s e to pollute,and demanding also that a bioassay be done under comparable conditions to ascertain the probableeffect on marine life in this area. If the bioassay indicates the p r o p o s e d pollutants are detrimentalto the local fin- and shellfish, the permit should not be granted. Address your letters to: R. R.

I still have a couple of questions. Who decideswhat is "good" behavior? If it's so good why do you have to be bribed or "rewarded" to do it? Were thereany students who didn't like the token system? I object to this program because I feel it leads you toaccept the judgment of others, especially your teachers, without question. That is not always such agood thing, as you may one day discover. Cathy Parks Freshman Play Money is Immoral Editor: This letter is in regard to the usage of play money as token reward in the Whatcom Middle School. I believethat this system is immoral for the following reasons: One needs only to look under his nose' to see the destruction t h a t token reward and punishment has done to our society. Many industries did not andwill not cease to ravage our environment until they were and are faced with financial loss through fines.The inhumane treatment of workers by the grape growers of California continued until a nationwideboycott threatened their monetary profit. Cigarette companies are still profiting from lung and heartdisease. Take a stroll around campus some afternoon during finals week and you may see a studentpaying someone to take his exam for him. (Ah yes, the almighty token "A") No knowledge is gainedthrough this venture. In education's quest for more - effective methods of shoving meaningless factsdown students' throats, they have found a very effective method of making the subjects moreaccomodating. Instead of centering students' goals around the satisfaction of obtaining usefulknowledge, they have centered their lives around the prestige of obtaining a token reward. It seems thatthe educational system has forgotten the existence of the child's natural curiosity and excitement overobtaining answers to his questions about life. My hope is that in the future, the educational . system willview l e a r n i n g with the same excitement, instead of seeing it as something that must be toleratedfor a more "pleasing" personal gain. Laurie Smith Freshman Front isn't Objective Editor: It seems sadthat in your masthead you can claim to be an "award winning photographic" paper and that in your,advertisements you can claim to be "one of the fastest-growing and best college papers on the coast"when the facts hardly bear out the assertion. True, the pictures may be good and the Front may be fast-growing, but "best" is an adjective of a different color. It remains the perogative of the readersâ€”not theeditorâ€”to decide on the quality of the newspaper. Needless to say, I and a good many other studentsand faculty would use different terms to describe your paper. The Front could stand to be improved inseveral areas. First a major concern of any college newspaper should be to communicate what ishappening on campus. But you fail to do this. What is happening in the President's office? Does Dr.Flora have any opinions? Any plans? Any directions for the school? What can we expect in the next fewyears? How will t u i t i o n changes affect the budget? Who supports the changes? What will happen to the departments? Are they all necessary? Or perhaps they are too few? Of what quality is the faculty?What do they think? Or do they? How do they teach? Can they do it better? Or perhaps can they getothers to do it better? Will Huxley, Fairhaven and Ethnic Studies still be here five years from now? What things are good and bad with the cluster colleges? RE-ELECT TODAY Bellingham Schools AnnualLevy Election Our Children Need Your Help! i gt; V O T E " Y ES SCHOOL LEVY Bellingham SchoolDistrict Citizens' Advisory Committee What's cooking in the office of campus planning? Where doestheir money come from? Could it be better spent? What of all the administrative committees studyingand planning the college's future? Is the grading system good? Are alternative systems better or worse?What do people think about these issues? Does Western pollute? What does it do about it? Why do we subsidize SAGA? Or do we? You don't know the answers and likewise 9000 other students don't know.You act as i f a d m i n i s t r a t i v e and departmental opinions and decisions are handled by someomnipotent authority beyond the interest and control of students. This is our college and we'd like toknow how it's being run. Secondly, the Front neglects its second biggest source of news. What ishappening to Bellingham? Does the city have plans? Do the businesses have plans? Does anyone haveplans? Or even opinions? This college is not an entity unto itselfâ€”much to the displeasure of some.Treat us as if we too live in Bellingham, Perhaps that's the first step towards getting the Bellinghampeople to do the same. Or on a larger scale, how do the events of Whatcom County effect us? How does the rest of the state effect us? Or we them? Third, the Front lacks objectivity. Its treatment of theSudden Valley issue is a prime example. Rarely do both sides come out. Even less often do the barefacts appear. Most papers do not print a story until they have both sides. The Front prints before it haseven one. What are you going to do about it? The news is there. It just isn't getting reported fairly, oreven reported at all. Stan Cuykendall Biology Sophomore P.S.

During a briefvisit to the campus on W e d n e s d a y , Lisa H o b b s , an Australian-Canadian-Americannewswoman, accused the U.S. government of "handing the once proud kingdom of Cambodia over to itstraditional enemiesâ€”the Vietnamese." She added: "Prince Sihanouk tried to save his country fromslaughter, but the U.S. government was more interested in a political victory." Mrs. Hobbs, who says she was one of the last reporters to talk to Sihanouk before his coup in 1969, claimed that millions inAmerican aid money to both Cambodia and Laos was being mis-used by the regimes controlling bothnations. "The U.S. has not built any good new roads,. but there are two fancy new hotels in Vientiane(Laos) and about 50,000 Mercedes in the streets," she jested. The well-known newswoman attributedAmerican presence in Southeast Asia to a fear of Mainland China. "The United States does not care ifChina LISA HOBBS dominates economically," she said. "But not politically." Mrs. Hobbs added thatshe could not believe that U.S. withdrawal from Southeast Asia will mean an end to this nation'sproblems in Asia. "Remember my words," she warned. "If we get out of Vietnam it will only be a matter of "two years or so before North Korea moves into the South." She did not think Mainland China would beinvolved in such a thrust, and called China non-agressive. "There is nothing to show that the Chinese are aggressive," Mrs. Hobbs explained. The woman journalist is the author of "I Saw China," "India, India"and the soon-to-be published "Love and Liberation." She and Simma Holt, a journalism lecturer atWestern, were delegates to a recent "surprisingly militant" conference on women's rights within thenewspaper industry. She referred to well-known lady columnists Abigail Van Buren, Ann Landers andErma Bombeck as "ignorant" when asked if she thought they were traitors to the cause of women's rights in the newspaper industry. Lighthouse Mission: Hoven for the Lonely By PAT BRENNEN FrontReporter The neon sign doesn't work, but the name painted across the face of the building still tells youthat you are at the Lighthouse Mission. The mission building, just north of town on Holly St., has seenbetter days. In fact, it is a far cry from its once stately grandeur, when some called it the classiest hotelbetween Seattle and Alaska. This building and the men who live there now have one thing in common.Their appearance may not be the neatest but it is only one face of their personality and it is impossible to judge someone or something without going deeper than their external appearance. The LighthouseMission was established in 1921 by Mr. Mrs. Thomas R. Boston. Today the mission is operated by agroup of churches in Whatcom County. Myron "Mike" Hilty, mission superintendent, has been workingat the mission for 15 years. Hilty, a warm, friendly, fatherly-type man gets a sparkle in his eye when hetells you about the mission and the work it does. The mission does numerous things for the men or"guests" as Hilty refers to them. During the 15 years Hilty has been with the mission they have helpedover 7,000 men, provided 330,000 meals, given away over 60,000 items of clothing and helped 1,200needy families. In explaining how the mission works Hilty said that the mission has over 50 new names a month coming to them for help. "This is 50 new people who have never been to this mission before,"Hilty pointed out. "We also get quite a number of people each month who have been here before." Themission provides a man with meals and a bed for three days gratis. After that he is expected to share inthe work at the mission. The work consists of cleaning the mission, helping with the dishes and workingwith the mission's salvage program. "If a new man doesn't want to do his share, the others make itknown he isn't wanted," Hilty added. The mission attempts to help each man as much as possible, but if he expresses any needs or services which they can't provide, the mission will refer him to another social agency. Hilty said that men arrive at the mission in various ways. Some are repeaters, they have beenhere before. Some just run across it, and many are referred to it by other social agencies. According tothe mission director there has been a 25 per cent increase in the number of men below the age of 25 inthe last two years. He attributed this increase to the use of drugs by young people. "I would say that half the men we get here at the mission have some type of alcohol or drug related problem. Of course everyman has his own problem or he wouldn't come to us for help." After a man arrives at the mission hereceives three meals a day: a regular breakfast, soup at noon, and an evening meal. The missionreceives surplus food commodities from the state and the rest is either donated or bought. On an average day they serve about 100 meals. Downstairs the mission has a dormitory which sleeps 30 men. Onecorner of the dormitory is a lounge, consisting of some worn sofas and a television. A bulletin board onone wall displays some of the regulations the men must follow. One of the strictly enforced regulationsprohibits visiting of any of the nearby taverns or cocktail lounges. A man seen entering or inside one ofthese establishments loses his mission privileges for 30 days. The mission has over 300 spot jobreferrals every month. People call in with odd jobs to be done. Hilty said the men are happy to get thework and most of the people who employ them are very happy with the result. The mission is supportedthrough money it makes in selling collected salvaged items. Other revenue is collected in rents and bythe sale of baled cardboard. The mission is not supported by the United Good Neighbors or any otheragency. "Our big project now is getting enough funds to build a new mission," Hilty added. "We canalways use more money, or food, or just plain help." The Lighthouse Mission and the men who workthere aren't rich by anyone's standards. As Hilty put it, "I guess you could measure our wealth by whatwe do and our riches are counted in the thanks we get from those we have helped." "There will always be the type of man the mission helps in our world;" they probably are lonely, but with men like Mike Hiltyaround there will always be love for them. REV.

"To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Laos Invasion The new invasion of Laos demands a unified student reaction to let the Nixonadministration know that we are wise to the fact that we have not been told the truth concerning theextent of U.S. involvement in the Indo-China war. Whatever form the protests and demonstrations takethis week we hope they will be peaceful. The war is winding down only in the numbers of Americansbeing killed and only in the numbers of Americans remaining in Southeast Asia. The war, thanks to U.S. military assistance in the form of artillery, aircraft and bombs, is going on as usual. The President is afool if he thinks we will sit idle while U.S. generals shove South Vietnamese soldiers into another neutralnation under a barrage of U.S. firepower. And, we prefer to believe that American combat troops areinvolved in the action also. After all, American soldiersâ€”in one form or anotherâ€”have occupied parts of Laos for years. The Laos invasion is another violation of the Geneva Convention of 1954. This new moveshould impress the hell out of North Vietnam which is being bombarded with thousands of Americanletters demanding identification and release of U.S. prisoners of war on the ground that they deserveGeneva POW Convention treatment. The North Vietnamese did sign the POW document, but with thereservation that anyone committing an aggression against their homeland would be treated as a warcriminal and would be responsible for his acts. It just so happens that the North Vietnamese consideranyone who drops napalm on their people a war criminal. At any rate, this new move into Laos will haveserious repercussions against any future efforts to end the war peacefully at a table, instead of on thebattlefield. According to reliable information, Chinese regulars have been massing along the northernborders of Laos for almost a year. There is a distinct possibility that China will enter the war if massiveraids by the Allied troops penetrate closer to the China border. When one gets that far north in Asia theborders tend to disappear. If China enters the war, then our troubles will have only just begun. - Evenmore serious, we must consider the credibility gap which Nixon is widening with every thrust into aneighboring S. E. Asian nation under the guise of searching for and destroying Communist sanctuaries.The credibility gap put an abrupt end to Lyndon Johnson's presidency, and there is no question that itcan do the same for Richard Nixon. Demonstrations have been called for tomorrow across the nation toprotest the Laos invasion and the secrecy which enshrouds our entire Indo-China war policy. Studentgroups here on campus may encourage a peace march to the downtown area to emphasize disgust overthe invasion, but we do not think a protest of that type would be effective at this time. Instead, westrongly recommend that students, faculty and staff at this college reinforce the regular Friday afternoonpeace vigil in front of the Federal Building downtown. We suggest the vigil should extend from 3:30 to5:30 p.m. to allow everyone an opportunity to join the demonstration. We can show our strength innumbers alone. â€”John Stolpe A BELATED HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM 800 MILLION CHINESEEDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor PHOTOEDITOR: Dave Sherman COPY EDITOR: Mary Peebles ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Marie HaugenFEATURE EDITOR: Steve Johnston SPORTS EDITOR: Larry Lemon STAFF REPORTERS: Jim Austin,Loren Bliss, Patrick Brennen, Bob Burnett, Rebecca Firth, Susan Gawrys, Roy Hanson, Tony Gable,Mickey Hull, Bill Johnston, Glen Jones, Jill Kremen, Jackie Lawson, Paul Madison, Bob McLauchlan,Mark Morrow, Marilee Pethtel, Mike Pinch,.Jim Thomson, Steve VanDeventer.

Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, head of the Provisional Revolutionary Government delegation at the Paris peace talks, sent the following message, "Alert you Laos invasion by tens of thousands US-Saigon-Thai troops. Action intense US Air Force. Earnestly call you mobilize peace forces your country-Check US dangerous ventrues Indo China." In a later expansion of the telegram by phone the PRGreported that more than 20,000 Saigon paratroopers, marines and rangers invaded Laos using motorizedvehicles; they were accompanied by US combat troops-not just "advisers"-two regiments of the ThirdDivision of the Thai Army (paid for by US aid to Thailand's military dictatorship) have invaded Laos aswell. They asserted that the US is planning further escalation including an invasion of North Vietnam.(This possibility was repeatedly emphasized at the conference. Robert Williams, a black leader withclose ties to China, reported that the Chinese feel such a move will take place within the next few monthsand are prepared to actively enter the war at that point.) The message concluded by calling for massiveactions to protest this latest move and check further escalation and by calling on the American people tobreak the world-wide news blackout and make people throughout the country aware of what is happening. Much of what is happening is confused but one thing is very clear-the Nixon administration is determinednot to repeat its tactical "error" of last Spring by openly admitting the latest invasion as it admitted theinvasion of Cambodia. Nixon feels that the tremendous reaction last year was attributable to the emotional trauma induced by his statement on the invasion. He reasons that even if news of this latest escalationtrickles out the government's news blackout and denials will prevent opposition from coalescing. Inresponse to this the Conference called for massive demonstrations and actions for Wednesday Feb. 10on campuses and in communities across the country. This call was supported by the leadership of theNational Student Association. This day of action is seen as building support for the peace treaty and forthe May peace offensive across the country and around the world. Nixon fears defeat in May. Theliberation forces in Vietnam-North Vietnamese, PRG and pro-peace groups not allied with the PRG-expect to deal the Thieu-Ky-Khiem regime a crushing blow in May. The actions planned to support theirstruggle will rise to a level never reached before. Actions will take place in Washington, D.C., other majorcities around the country, Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. It is perhaps in anticipation of thisdefeat, in an attempt to ward it off by seizing the offense, that last week's invastion took place. But theattempt will be futile. The people of Vietnam, the people of America and the people of the world will pressthe struggle till all foreign troops are out of Vietnam and victory is achieved.-"If the government won'tstop1 the war,'we'll'stbp the govern'merlt." â€¢ gt;' ' ' ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 9 - Page 5 ---------- Behind the Son Toy Raid Tuesday, February 9, 1971 Western Front 5 By SEYMOUR M. HERSHCopyright, 1971, Reporters Newsservice Seymour M. Hersh won the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for InternationalReporting, among others, for his reporting on the My Lai massacre. He has been at work on a book onthe prisoner of war issue since last fall. WASHINGTON-The White House relied on basic militaryintelligence that was at least six months old in approving the unsuccessful commando raid last November on the Son Tay prisoner of war camp inside North Vietnam. Interviews over the past two months revealed that the Pentagon's first information about the Son Tay camp-23 miles west of Hanoi-was supplied by aformer North Vietnamese prison guard who was either captured or defected during the U.S.-SouthVietnamese invasion of Cambodia in May, 1970. The guard, whose capture was considered highlyclassified information, provided military intelligence teams with invaluable information about the location,operation and construction of the Son Tay prison. The detailed information even included what kind oflocks were on the cell doors and where they were located. By July, the interrogation of the prison guardhad been completed and the Air Force was ordered to initiate a series of aerial overflights over the SonTay prison. Amazingly, at no time before the actual invasion of the prison-on November 20, six monthsafter the guard's capture-was the military able to establish any further proof that Americans were, in fact,being detained inside Son Tay. In essence, the high-risk operation was s t a g e d - w i t h approval fromPresident Nixon-although the only known facts were those supplied by the former prison camp guard.Yet, there was no available evidence indicating that the military planners "knew" that the S5n Tay campdid not contain prisoners, as Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., chairman of the Senate Foreign RelationsCommittee, has publicly charged. What does emerge from an intensive investigation into the Son Tayraid is a serious indictment of the practices and operation of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA),which was in charge of intelligence for the mission. The DIA's photo analysts somehow interpreted whatturned out to be a vegetable garden growing inside the Son Tay compound as evidence that manyAmerican prisoners were inside the area. Here is the story of the planning behind the Son Tay operation: The capture-or defection-of the North Vietnamese prison camp guard in May, 1970, was a majorachievement; such men were never sent by Hanoi into South Vietnam because of the higher risk ofcapture. At least three POW camps previously were known to exist inside the city limits of Hanoi, but the location of other facilities was not known. Depite this, the military had long been seeking permission toraid one of the known camps. One clue to the inadequacy of the overall American intelligence operationinside North Vietnam emerged from the simple fact that the Pentagon learned about the Son Tay campfrom the captured guard. Son Tay area had, in fact, long been known to the intelligence community andwas frequently photographed. According to defense sources, a major military construction program,manned by a force estimated at 15,000 Chinese Communists, got under way there in 1965 or 1966. Thearea also became the site of a MIG base early in the Air War and was a key target area during the heavybombings from 1965 through 'Nov. 1968. The Central Intelligence Agency also had been unable todevelop any solid information about prisoner of war camps. Beginning in the mid-1960's, it had attemptedunsuccessfully to infiltrate highly trained teams of South Vietnamese into North Vietnam. Most of thegroups-known in the intelligence community as "Bell Teams"-were dropped by parachute in the Red River Delta, northwest of Hanoi, but quickly became, as a former agent said, "ground up like hamburger."They'd get wrapped up in two or three days," he added, largely due to the high state of internal security in the North. In July, 1970, the military asked the CIA for apy infor^riat^Qn.it Jia.d,QiJ,.th? physicalmakeup(qf Son tay,'but that, apparently, was .the.epctent.of. gt;â€¢ the CIA's involvement. The raid onSon Tay was to be an all-military affair, with overall direction and planning coming from the Pentagon'scounterinsurgency office and intelligence coming from photo interpretation supplied by DIA. The earlyreconnaissance photographs of the prison camp indicated that it was still in heavy use and were highlyencouraging to the men in the Pentagon. A highly skilled team was carefully assembled; men werehandpicked from offices throughout the Pentagon and assigned to the secret operation. The planning was rigidly bureaucraticized for security reasons: one group of men worked on means for getting the rescueteam safely in and out of North Vietnam; another group did the day-by-day analysis to determine acrucial factâ€”were the pilots there? The evidence that the photo interpreters viewed as encouraging,however, was far from definite proof that the captured pilots were at Son Tay. One man who worked onthe Son Tay project, attempting to explain its failure, argued that photo reconnaissance is not an exactscience at all, despite the wide-spread beliefs of the general public so conditioned to descriptions ofmiraculous close-ups from "eye in the sky" cameras 100 miles up. The source added: "Take thatphotograph of the crowd on the elipse during the March on Washington (the anti-war demonstration inNovember, 1969)â€”it was an Air Force picture publishe4 in a lot of newspapers. Now, don't ask anybodyto break down how many of the people were Negroes and how many were Caucasians. We just can't doit. But after they left, you sure could tell that they were thereâ€”the grass would be all trampled." Asimilarly trampled appearance was evident in what seemed to be a grassy area inside the tiny Son Taycompound. The aerial photographs also established that the guard towers and basic layout of Son Taywere very similar in design to that of the POW camps inside Hanoi. It was agreedâ€”without ever seeingan identifiable prisonerâ€”that the Son Tay facility was an active POW camp for Americans. Sometime in the July-August period, the military got a shock when during a period of heavy flooding of the Red RiverDelta, the camp suddenly was vacated. The changing geography of the camp was apparent; the trampled look disappeared. When the flood waters receded, the geography changed againâ€”much to everyone'sreliefâ€”and the courtyard suddenly took on "that well-worn look," as one analyst described it. By now itwas August and the White House was approached. Briefings were presented to President Nixon andHenry Kissinger, the President's advisor on national security affairs. The President was, according tolater White House accounts, "enthusiastic" about the idea and authorized full-scale planning and trainingfor a search and rescue mission. The cloak-and-dagger operation was code-named the JointContingency Task Group Ivory Coast, and training began in August at the Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Optimism was rising inside the government; it was the first time that the military had established anintelligence "book" on a POW camp that was not inside the Hanoi city limits. But there were many basic intelligence problems that were never overcome. For one thing, no one had established beyond areasonable doubt that the Son Tay prison was holding Americans. "We had a hypothesis based onvarious sources of information," said one analyst who worked on the project, "but as far as being able tosay, 'Hey, there go two more guys into the camp'â€”well, we couldn't." The official added: "Our situationwas thisâ€”so a river comes out and floodsâ€”and so they (the North Vietnamese) move the pilots out.The place overgrows. It looks bad. Bingo. The grass starts to wear down again. Hey, it looks good. It's afifty-fifty chance they moved them back." There were, apparently, only a few cautious doubtsraisedâ€”largely because the high secrecy of the operation kept details away from many officials whomight have pointed out more vigorously the fact that the military was planning a , riighrris,k raid on thebasis of evidence indicating ,, 'that .,we(e,ds,and grass had been trampled.

WILSON Marijuana and Your Health By ARNOLDWERNER, M.D. QUESTION: My boyfriend and I occasionally smoke pot. I do not believe that pot initself is dangerous to one's health. However, he suffers from an occasional bout with a urinary infectionwhich supposedly stems from some kidney trouble. I recently had infectious hepatitis. We have readthat the toxins of grass are cleansed from the system through either the kidneys or the liver. Therefore,would pot aggravate or affect our weakened organs? ANSWER: The active ingredient in marijuana is acomplicated chemical called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is very potent in tiny amounts.Incidentally, stuff peddled as THC is usually not, but may be a veterinary anesthetic which is verydangerous to mess with. The exact path the chemical follows in being detoxified is not entirely clear.Like many other substances, it well might be detoxified in the liver and â€¢ eliminated in the urine. In the usual amounts, it is unlikely that it would place a strain on the liver or kidneys. As with any potentsubstance, it is possible to find some people whose health is adversely affected by the use or abuse ofmarijuana. It is very unusual for men to have urinary tract infections without there being some u n d e r ly i n g i l l n e s s or abnormality. I hope your boyfriend has been examined by a capable physician.Such a physician would also tell you that it would be wise to stay away from alcohol for many monthsor perhaps a year following infectious hepatitis. Alcohol is a known liver toxin. * * * * QUESTION: Whatcauses hemorrhoids and piles and can they be prevented? Is it possible to get them primarily on oneside? I've used hemorrhoid ointments which relieve the pain, but it eventually comes back. I've heard they sometimes get serious enough for an o p e r a t i o n . . . when is this required? ANSWER: Piles is alay term for hemorrhoids which are varicose veins in the area of the anus and rectum. In other words,they are dilated veins which produce bulges that shouldn't be there. Almost all adults have somehemorrhoids, but generally they . are painful and produce symptoms only when the veins thrombose (the blood clots in the vein). A minor surgical procedure performed in the doctor's office can relieve the painin an uncomplicated case. However, when hemorrhoids have been present for a long time and there hasbeen scarring and changes in the function of this exit portal, more ambitious corrective surgery isnecessary. Hemorrhoid ointments often contain local anesthetics and astringents such as witch hazel,providing some reduction of pain and itching. Anything which slows blood flow through the anorectalveins enhances the possibility of the development of hemorrhoids. Constipation and straining at thestool aggravate the condition. Hemorrhoids occur frequently during pregnancy due to the pressure fromthe enlarged uterus. Hemorrhoids are part of the hazard of being a two-legged creature, as blood tendsto pool in these parts. Sitting doesn't help. While hemorrhoids can occur on one side or the other, theanus is a small midline structure, one to a customer, and when it hurts it hurts all over. Rep. MeedsSlams Nixon By LLOYD MEEDS Congressman On the same day that he sent Congress his 'fullemployment' budget, President Nixon shut down two nuclear reactors at Hanford. Mr. Nixon says thejobless rate will decline to 4.5 per cent by mid-1972; turning off Hanford's 800,000 kilowatts will putthousands of people out of work. For Richard Nixon the economy has become what Vietnam became to Lyndon â€¢ Johnsonâ€”a noose drawn ever tighter by rosy promises and sorry -results. Mr. Nixon issuffering a crisis of confidence. In his last budget a year ago, Mr. Nixon said that the government wouldenjoy a surplus of $1.3 billion. Now he says that the actual figure will be a deficit of $18.6 billion. Thisgrotesque error was caused by an economy that failed to meet his expectations. When jobs are lostand corporate profits decline, the government gets fewer tax r e v e n u e s . Thus, every unemployedBoeing worker adds to the federal debt. Underpinning the new budget is the President's assumption that economic growth will increase 12 per cent by the end of 1971. To arrive at this figure, in my opinion, Mr. Nixon must have been given some very bad advice. Not even in the booming '60's did we experience this kind of expansion. Few economists outside the government believe the President's prediction. True,there are new incentives for growth. Interest rates are coming down, and taxes have been cut. Mr. Nixonhimself has provided a stimulant. What he calls his 'full employment' budget is really a planned deficit.He envisions a shortfall of some $11.6 billion, again basing his estimates on that 12 per cent growthrate. Richard Nixon adopting deficit spending is like a man trading in a one-horse shay for a Corvette.Deficit spending, or 'pump priming' has long been accepted by progressives as a way to bolster theeconomy. Franklin Roosevelt used it to fight the Depression; John Kennedy deployed it to get Americamoving again. Until recently, however, Mr. Nixon's economic thinking preferred a balanced ledger overjobs and groceries. I applaud the P r e s i d e n t ' s initiative. His estimates may be wrong, but hisintentions are right. Yet there is one giant obstacle he must reckon with and overcome. This is inflation.When he took office two years ago, Richard Nixon vowed to stay out of wage and price decisions. In myview this has been his worst economic mistake. Inflation skyrocketed, but jobs were lost as thePresident clung to high interest rates to curb the overheated economy. In two years, for example, steelprices have risen over 12 per cent; because of Presidential pressure, these same prices rose only 7 percent between 1961 and 1968. To increase steel prices by $5 a ton is to add $50 to the price of a newcar. Unless restraints are imposed on excessive wage and price hikes, real economic growth will becurbed, and paychecks will suffer. I see no alternative for the President. Congress has voted himcontrols over wages, prices, credit, and rent. Now he must use them if he is to match e c o n o m i cpromise with economic performance. Tarr: Nixon's Draft Plan OK 1426 Cornwall ZJ-lorht 733-7630 TheDirector of the Sleective Service System today characterized President Nixon's proposed draft reforms"as the steps likeliest to achieve real equity in our Nation's draft system." The Presidential Message tothe Congress requested a two-year extension of induction authorization. Presidential authority to endstudent deferments and divinity student exemptions, and the establishment of a uniform national call was also requested. The abolition of undergraduate student deferments and a uniform national call first were advocated by the President in a Message to the Congress, on April 23, 1970. Dr. Tarr explained "thatunder current regulations which defer undergraduate students, those young men who have the cultural,educational, or financial background to enter college are allowed to defer their exposure to the draft for along period of time . . . while their less-educated, or differently-inclined counterparts have no similaropportunity. It would seem to be in the best interest of all concerned to expose all young men equally tothe possibility of being drafted, and to do it before they assume the expense and involvement of a collegeeducation." If Congress approves the President's request to give him authority to end deferments, theWhite House says that an Executive Order will be issued which ends the granting of II-S undergraduatecollege deferments with the originally proposed effective date of April 23, 1970. This means that no new II-S deferments would be granted to young men who enter college in the future, and that the defermentsgranted to undergraduates who entered college after April 23, 1970 would be cancelled. Students whowere enrolled in full-time programs prior to April 23, 1970 would retain their eligibility for deferments, aslong as they continue to meet the current requirements for deferment eligibility. The President alsoasked that special exemptions for divinity students be ended by Congressional and Executive Orderaction. Under the President's proposals, these would be granted through January 27, 1971. "The uniformnational call proposal," Director Tarr added, "is the most appropriate method of calling young men in thefuture. As now authorized, the random selection, or lottery system results in some young men beingdrafted in one part of the country, while young men with the same lottery numbers elsewJiere are notcalled.x . . * ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 9 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, February 9, 1971 Western Front 7 Midterm Exams -Here to Stay Photo By LOREN BLISS Itlooks like finals and mid-term tests are here to stay. A poll conducted by the FRONT of a majority ofdepartment heads indicated that the mid-term and final testing setup was the only instructors couldmeasure what students had learned and to let the students know where they stood. A poll conductedby the FRONT of a majority of department heads indicated that the mid-term and final testing setup was the only way instructors could measure what students had learned and to let the students know wherethey stood. While most agreed that there should be some type of m i d - t e r m or final, the importance placed on them 'varied. Howard Mitchell, chairman of the economics and business department, saidthat final and mid-term examinations were essential but that too much emphasis was placed on thefinal. He said too much time was wasted by having a separate finals week and that he would rather givea one-hour test during regular class time. Robert Teshera, acting chairman of the geographydepartment, said that the value of the mid-term and final, which he thought were important, depended onthe type of test used. He said that he had rarely seen a multiple-choice test. He preferred a broadly-written essay test as a better measure of knowledge. Practically everyone polled said that the use offinals and mid-terms depended on the type of class. College May Lower Graduation Requirement ByJACKIE LAWSON Front Reporter By the end of this quarter students may have to accumulate only 180credits to graduate, rather than the present 192. An ad hoc committee of the Academic Council has beenformed to re-evaluate graduation requirements. The committee consists of David Clarke, chairman of thepolitical science department; William O'Neil, registrar; Judy West, senior English major, and ArthurSolomon, chairman. The committee conducted a survey last Wednesday in which about 100 studentswere randomly polled. They were asked if the present number of credits should be reduced, and, if so, towhat number. Miss West, who conducted the survey, said the overwhelming response was 180. Students polled concurred that the average work load in upper division studies should be lowered to 14 or 15credits per quarter. The present 16-hour load oftentimes forces students to attend Western for 13 or 14quarters rather than the required 12 in order to accumulate the required 192 credits for graduation.Because of this, many students are unable to work during the summer because they are in school. Edmajors especially have trouble finding jobs. Teachers are usually hired in the fall and yet many studentsdo not graduate until winter or spring. At present, graduation requirements at Western consist of 55credits in the general education program, 60 upper division credits, and a completed major and minor.When compiled, students are left with very little room for electives. On the whole, other Washingtoneducation institutions require less credits for graduation. The University of Washington, Washington State University, and St. Martin's College require 180 credit hours plus three hours of physical education.Seattle University requires 180 credit hours and no physical education, and the University of Puget Soundrequires 175 credits plus five quarters of physical education. A portion of his report to the committeereads, "In the beginning there was evidently some legal basis for demanding a curriculum of four yearsduration for, until recently, the law (1968) required that the various bachelor's degrees conferered by thestate colleges be granted to students who have completed one of the four year courses of study . . .provided said courses . . . represent four years of work. Even this somewhat tenuous basis fordesignating a total number of credits earned (189 or 192) recently has ceased to exist for the recodifiededucation section, (which became effective last July 1) states: 'The degree of bachelor of arts or thedegree of bachelor, of science and/or the degree of bachelor of arts in education may be granted to anystudent who has completed a four year course of study or the equivalent thereof in Central, Eastern,Western, or Evergreen state colleges.' The ad hoc committee will present their findings to the AcademicCouncil for consideration in several weeks, Miss West said. Sudden Valley: A Closer Look LAKEWOOD RECREATIONAL FACILITY Last week nearly two dozen Western students took a closer look atSudden Valley in hopes of getting the developer's viewpoint of the controversy s u r r o u n d i n g W e s t e r n 's Lakewood property. They were told' that the developers "have taken every environmental factorinto c o n s i d e r a t i o n" in planning Sudden Valley. Sudden Valley is a 1,500-acre semi-residentialarea on Lake Whatcom located immediately south of Western's Lakewood recreational property. Billedby its developers, the San wick C o r p o r a t i o n , as the " u n d e v e l o p m e n t , " Sudden Valleywill contain about 200 a c r e s of p a r k s , three campgrounds, 30 miles of nature trails and nearly10,000 feet o f shoreline when it is completed. It will also contain a paved 3,700-foot airstrip, over 40miles of paved roads, a 240-boat capacity marina and an 18-hole championship golf course. Completion date is scheduled for mid-1972. According to Sudden Valley salesman Merv , ,Kern,, the t residentialarea has been divided into 3,783 lots at the rate of three lots per acre. The lost vary in price from $5,000to $20,000; nearly half of the lots have already been sold, he said. Kern expects Sudden Valley willhave a possible maximum population of between 12,000 and 13,000 persons. Most of the landscapingwas done with conservation in mind. Instead of chopping all of the trees down, which has been done bymany developments, Kern said, Sudden Valley's planners had only the underbrush cleared away. Theyleft as many trees as they possibly could.leave. Kern explained that property owners must abide bySudden Valley regulstions before they can remove trees from their property in order to build a house.Even the architecture of the houses must be approved to correspond with Sudden Valley's "rustic"setting. Sudden Valley will have its own sewage treatment plant and all utilities will be underground."The only utility above ground will be fire hydrants-for visiting dogs,'' Kern quipped^ , SUDDEN VALLEYDEVELOPMENT (PART) Don't Pollute our Lakes and Streams Buy the organic cleaner that retailstores will never sell you Call: PHIL 734-5796 COHEN He delivers to your door.

The extension of hours may have to waituntil one of the restrictions tacked onto the motion is fulfilled. A dorm is supposed to be set aside forstudents who don't wish to go under the extension of hours, Brock said. "It's kind of a legal questionwhether we can let dorms change hours without having a dorm set aside with the understanding that onewill be set up for spring quarter," he said. If the wording of the Board decision strictly states that a dormcan't extend the 12-hour visitation until a hall is set aside, then Brock hopes to make the extension ofhours possible by spring quarter. The Board approved a motion allowing dorms to extend hours to 18Sunday through Thursday and to 20 hours on Friday and Saturday in its meeting last Thursday. Some ofthe questions will be resolved in the Interhall Council meeting this Thursday at 5:15 in the new legislatureroom. Sally Williams, Interhall Council president, said that many halls want to change right away andsome of the dorms will present extension of hour proposals for Council approval Thursday. Ridge wayBeta voted for the maximum 20-hour extension last Thursday night. Dorms must pass their visitationextension by a two-thirds majority and then submit their change to the Council for "a kind of legal rubberstamping," Williams said. The council may also decide what dorm or dorms will be set aside for minimalvisitation during their Thursday meeting besides taking some action on the dorm proposals for visitationextension. "We've got to wait and see and put the pieces together," Administrator of Housing GeraldBrock said. Grading Forum As part of its examination of the grading system, the ad-hoc committee ongrading of the Academic Council will hold a student forum at 4 p.m. Thursday in the VU lounge.According to Professor Richard Francis, chairman of the committee, the session is designed to solicitpositive, constructive plans for a grading system. The committee is not interested in having a "gripe"session about current practices. "We hope to recommend changes of significant scope to the AcademicCouncil," he said. All proposals should be submitted in writing. If possible, at least six copies should bemade for the members of the committee. Authors of proposals will be asked to present them orally andexchange views with the committee. The committee itself will not present any proposals at this time."We are interested in listening," Francis explained. Time will be allotted to all specific proposals withgeneral discussion following in the time available. A similar forum for the faculty will be held at a laterdate. Legal Aid .V. 1.

Transit Subsidy A proposalto subsidize the Bellingham Transit System (BTS) will appear on a special ballot March 23 as the result of a petition drive to the City Council. The bus subsidy proposal, defeated last November in the generalelection, calls for a 75 cent household tax to be added to the city residents' monthly water bill. Thepetition for a city-subsidized transit system, containing 2,900 signatures, was accepted by the CityCouncil last week. The city has already done some subsidizing of the BTS, including' more than $30,000during the last six months of 1970. The transit system currently has a contract with Western to shuttlestudents between campus and downtown. Students pay 12!/2 cents per trip rather than the regular 25cents. BTS owner and operator J. D. Adams said the public service would be discontinued if the speciallevy fails, and only the college shuttle service would be continued.

Photo BV D A V ESHERMAN College Bus Subsidy Gets Nod The parking committee u n a n i m o u s l y passed /twoproposals giving support p the Traffic Operations Program to Increase Capacity and Safety (TOPICS) and to continue support of the college bus subsidy system. The committee agreed to support bothproposals through action but not through financial assistance. The general belief was that t h e parkingcommittee's financial duties should be concerned with building parking lots, lighting lots, etc., and notfinancing other areas. TOPICS is a federal program to study traffic and safety problems throughout theU.S. The city of Bellingham is considering -participating in the program. Western's Board of Trusteeshas authorized that the college p a r t i c i p a t e jointly with Bellingham in TOPICS with emphasis ontraffic and safety within the campus. The Board also authorized 'spending as much as $1500 to $2500in the study. The parking committee agreed to support TOPICS, but with the stipulation that any of thismoney does not come from parking funds. The federal government would pay 53 per cent of theBellingham study, while the city would pay 47 per cent ($3000 to $5000). The $1500 to $2500 that thecollege* would pay is 47' ' per cent of Bellingham's expenditure. It was pointed out that in having thestudy done, the city becomes eligible for federal assistance which could directly benefit the college andthe state. One member said that Bellingham is one of the few cities that does not have an ordinanceconcerning how the city builds streets. The committee also voted to continue support of the college bus subsidy system. It was believed that the subsidy money should not come from parking funds though.they voted to have the college find some other area to get subsidy money from. Presently, one-third ofthe subsidy money comes from the parking committee, one-third from the housing and dining office andone-third from Associated Students funds. The college guarantees the transit system $84 a day onweekdays and $56 on Saturdays. In January a total of $1890 was guaranteed to the bus company.Subtracted from this was $296 from ticket sales, and $829.19 made in fare-box money. The t o t a lcollege subsidy expenditure, therefore, was $770.81 for January. At the end of this month when thecontract with. the transit company expires, the present subsidy system will be evaluated. ....-', ' ' The'parking committee' also agreed to spend $200 to put in motorcycle stalls near the Freshwater Institute.This would include setting up barricades and graveling the area for 30 to 35 motorcycles. It was believed that this would be a good area because it would be centrally located and somewhat protected from thewind so that the cycles would not be blown over. Coming up soon on the committee's agenda is an open meeting for the entire college community to decide what system of parking permit sales will be usednext year. The exact meeting date and place will be announced soon. Permit issuing systems whichare being looked into are the lottery system, the first-come first-serve system, the seniority system forreapplication, and the priority system. The lottery system which the faculty, staff and administrationused this year would give everyone in the college community an equal chance. In the seniority systemfor reapplication, permit holders from this year could reapply for their present lot. The priority systemwould give points for those with special need such as the handicapped or absolutely needing a car in acertain lot, and would give points for the distance the individual, v has, ^ ^tp, y tr^yeV^teV school/ ' ' 'OFFICIAL WWSC !EUROPE I Charter Flights I RICH HASS 211 Viking Union Building WesternWashington State College Bellingham, Washington 676-3460 or St Zip SEX IS YOUR BUSINESS(BIRTH CONTROL IS OURS) We believe you're entitled to your privacy when it comes to buyingcontraceptives.

Let's go down to thatweight room you've been telling me about, so I can get in shape," said I. We entered the weight room. Off to the right a husky young man was squatting beneath a heavily weighted barbell. Wearing a red face,his teach standing out clearly, he slowly inched the weight up. Directly in front of me was a box-likecontraption with half a dozen sweating bodies pulling or pushing on assorted bars and cables. Flat blackbars of steel, stacked neatly in piles, were noisily sliding up and down all around this steel cage. Shoptalk labeled it a universal gym. Between two of these universal gyms was a giant rubber mat with aformidible selection of hardware strewn at painful angels over its surface. I would have been pleased tosee so much steel remain motionless. However, a handful of dedicated young athletes stood around thisinner sanctuary, breathing hard and shaking their arms in a dangling mannerâ€”like Muhammed Ali justbefore the first bell. They were actually going to do something about all this inert' metal. Only Ali knowshe's going to win; some of these specimens looked somewhat unsure about hoisting three or fourhundred pounds off the deck. My roommate-guide led me on. "Now over here in the middle are the realpsycho, weight lifting freaks. They're out to lift competitively and have a ritual of different types ofexercises. Over there against the wall are a couple of "body beautiful" types with their striped, tight-fittingtee shirts. They scream a lot and mostly just stand around. "And of course there are several guys whojust work out in here to keep from getting flabby. Here, try the bench press so you can get the idea," hesaid. I tried the bench press. Next, we talked to Jim Schmidt, one of the competitive minded lifters. "Isee myself as a competitor in this game. As an Olympic lifter I have to specialize in those events whichyou see in actual weight lifting contestâ€”the press, the snatch and the clean and jerk. Here, try doingthis very basic squat lift," he said. I did the squat lift. Jim Heydebreck sees it from another angle; powerlifting is where it's at for him. "Weight lifting represents the personal attainment of a goal with me. I'm notinterested in competing. I've given up looking at the records of champions. I want to become as strong as possible, so I stick with power lifting. Now, try doing this simple dead lift I have lined up for you," he said. I did the dead lift. Bob Christensen, a discus thrower in track and field, uses the facilities forconditioning purposes. "I do it to prepare myself for competition in track. In order to get the distance inthe discus I'm looking for, I've got to keep using these weights. Here now, let's see you try pushing theseweights on this leg press," he said. , I pushed the weights on the leg press. Once. P.E. instructorRichard Borman sees weight lifting as a great conditioning aid. "Students still see physical training of any kind as a drag. A person's physical condition naturally begins to deteriorate after age 20, so it's mostimportant that We get enough exercise. But enough talk for now; let me see you do a bicep curl or 20,"he said. I did one and a half bicep curls. Yes, it must be wonderful to be in great shape, but start outslowly, friends. Don't try to accomplish spectacular feats in your first crack at the world of weights. Well, I'll be glad to talk to anyone in detail about it. Just remember, hospital visiting hours are over at 8 p.m.Cards and flowers are welcome.

Western leads the Evcopack with a 7-2 record. Central, Eastern Washington and Whitworth all are tied for second-place withidentical 6-3 marks. Eastern led the conference going into last weekend. The Savages, however losttwice, getting bounced by Central 88-68 and upset by Oregon College of Education 104-103. Saturday'swin was coupled with bad news, when the Viks learned that Thomas had to have an emergencyappendectomy Sunday morning. Prior to the game's tip-off it had been reported that Thomas hadstomach cramps. The loss of Thomas could seriously jeopardize the Viks Evco title hopes, especiallywith two key games coming up this weekend. Shults, Western's other ailing starter, missed Saturday'sgame with a badly sprained ankle. Despite the two Vik injuries, Western was able to roll to its fifthstraight win. Leaping Gary White led the way for the Vik win. The 6-4 junior fired in 17 points to leadWestern and also pulled down 13 rebounds. Rebounding, which played an important part in Thursday'swin over Southern Oregon, also played a key role as the Viks set a new school record of 78 rebounds.John Reed tied White'for the team leadership as he pulled down 13 daroms.

Magnolia 733-6600 western front X SPORTSWestern Rips SOC What you should know about diamonds when you know it's for keeps Coach ChuckRandall's squad walked all over Southern Oregon College (SOC), beating the Red Raiders 83-62 in anEvergreen Conference home game last Thursday night. Rebounding told the story with Western yankingdown 65 to the Raiders' 38. Sharp-shooting by Mike Franza and defensive work by Neal Larson insuredthe victory. Western got off to a sluggish start when Red Raider Marty Popp keyed two fast breaks which 6-8 Allen Graves capitalized on for four points. Western finally got on the board at the three-minute mark with a two-point tip-in by Roger Fuson off a Neal Larson attempt. The Viks gained the lead at the 10minute mark through the hustle of Fuson, and from there it was all down-hill to a 50-27 half-time score inBig Blue's favor. The Viking defense was spotty during the opening minutes and the Raiders had notrouble penetrating for the easy close-in shots. The Viking defense gelled in the second half as theysteadily piled up a lead that climaxed at the nine-minute mark with Western out in front by 32 points.Radier guards were forced to provide a dribbling display as the Vikings formed a solid defensive wall.SOC's Allen Graves had to come out for the ball and then bull his way back to the basket. Big Blue'ssecond half offense was as good as the Raiders' was bad. Passes that shouldn't have been attemptedwere connecting, and the Viks seemed to take turns scoring toward the final five minutes. The last threeminutes saw Western's bench take the floor and continue to frustrate the Raiders with an iron-claddefense. With three seconds to go, sophomore Dana Besecker pounded down the floor on a fast-break to score the final two points in front of the remains of a somewhat bored crowd of 1,500. You've dreamedabout your diamond engagement ring a thousand times. But now that you know it's for keeps, it's time to stop dreaming and start learning about diamonds and their value. Because no two diamonds areexactly alike, jewelers have adopted exacting standards to determine the relative value of each andevery diamond in the world. These standards include a diamond's size (carat weight), color, cut andclarity. Basketball Season Over for Thomas Although it's important to know the facts about diamonds,you certainly don't have to be an expert to choose a Keepsake Diamond Ring . . . because Keepsakeguarantees a diamond of fine white color, correct cut and perfect clarity or replacement assured. Thefamous Keepsake certificate provides permanent registration, trade-in value and protection againstloss of diamonds from the setting. Western's hopes for an Evergreen Conference (Evco) basketballchampionship suffered a crippling blow with the loss of 6-7 center Rudy Thomas. Thomas played firststring on an operating table late Sunday afternoon in an appendectomy operation. Thomas missed theOregon Tech game Saturday night, complaining of severe stomach cramps. He was admitted to St.Luke's hospital where appendicitus was diagnosed. Coach Chuck Randall estimates that Thomas will beout for two to three weeks. Without Thomas, Randall will start forward John Reed. Reed, who started allof last season, has been the number one Viking post substitute. Tonight the Vikings host Simon Fraser.The Clansmen are itching for a victory after losing to Western 76-71 in overtime last Tuesday. "They'vegot a strong man named Morgan," Randall said. "He'll be tough to handle with Rudy gone." Randallattributes Western's last victory over SFU to Thomas' work in the second half. Two of the biggest gamesthis season are on tap this weekend: Eastern Washington invades Carver gym Friday night andWhitworth is here Saturday night. Tonight's Clansman game could be crucial for the Viks. If a tiedevelopes in the conference, the best overall record could determine the winner. Western to date is 15-5,Central 15-7, Eastern 11-10 and Whitworth 12-10. Thus, the necessity of a win over SFU. Thomas cameto Western last spring from Highline Community College where he gained All-Conference recognition twostraight years, averaging 25 points a game. Through the first half of the season, Thomas averaged 14points and nine rebounds a game. Thomas, a native of Washington D.C., is 25 years old, the oldestplayer on the Viking roster. His performance against Eastern Jan. 30 won him the Evco Player of theWeek award. COLOR: Fine white diamonds are quite rare and valued accordingly. Other shades inrelative order of their worth are: blue, yellow, brown and black. CUT: The cut of a diamondâ€”the facetsplaced on it by a trained cutterâ€”brings out the gem's fire and brilliance. Anything less than correct cutreduces beauty, brilliance and value. CLARITY: Determined by the absence of small impurities. Aperfect diamond has no impurities when examined under ten power magnification by a trained eye.CARAT: A diamond's size is measured in carats. As a diamond increases in size, its price will increaseeven more if the quality remains constant. But larger diamonds of inferior quality may actually beworth less than smaller, perfect diamonds.

INTRODUCTORY LECTURE AUG. 4th BH 105 AUG. 5th MH 163 2:30 P.M. 1 8:00 P.M. I Racism Workshop Being Set After WSU Examples ByLARRY LEMON Managing Editor Margarita Mendoza de Sugiyama came to Western to be a dormitorydirector for the summer and soon found herself drafted into being a consultant on racism workshops. Jim Forsman, American Indian Student Union (AISU) member, met her early this quarter and questioned herabout two racism workshops at Washington State University (WSU) she had been a part of. Forsman isorganizing a workshop at Western for mid-November. Mrs. Mendoza de Sugiyama told the FrontThursday that the most important aspect of a racism workshop is to keep its control in the hands ofminority students. "It is important that they determine what is . important and how things should be run,"she said. She said that to let faculty, administrators or white students dictate the form and content ofthe workshop would be to guarantee its failure. Mrs. Mendoza de Sugiyama, a senior in psychology,took part in fall 1970 and spring 1971 racism workshops at WSU. She said the aim of the first workshopwas "to - raise public awareness of minority problems." Because the emphasis was on information,written handouts, speakers, films and seminar discussions were employed in the three-day event. Shesaid most of the speeches and seminars were televised in Pullman. "The reaction from the townspeoplewas pretty positive," she said. "We were encouraged." She said the first workshop was planned with thesecond in mind. The informational emphasis of the first was switched to a problem-solving tack in thesecond. Small "task force" units of trained minority students went to classes over a two-day period toorganize seminars. The problem solving was geared to the Pullman area, she said. "You have toconcentrate on problems in your own community," she said. "Each area is different." Forsman is amember of a ten-man planning committee working on Western's fall workshop. He said Monday thatWestern's workshop would closely follow the informational emphasis of the first WSU workshop. He said he is going to ask President Charles Flora to cancel all classes for the two-day workshop. He saideliminating classes would . relieve the workshop planners of figuring out which group would get "prime-time." Forsman said the workshop would be sponsored by the Associated Students and co-sponsoredby the Black Student Union, MECHA, AISU and Asian Student Union. MARGARITA MENDOZA deSUGIYAMA He said the event will cost at least $2,000. He hopes to get some financial support from theadministration. Mrs. Mendoza de Sugiyama said Bellingham was more liberal than Pullman, but addedthat a racism workshop is beneficial to any community. "It's a kind of self examination," she said. "Youtry to get to the causes of minor problems before they become major ones." She said Bellingham was an ideal location because of "the wealth of resource people from the immediate area." The 23-year-oldWSU student attended a National Association of Student Personnel Administrators conference inWisconsin earlier this year and intends to go to graduate school at WSU and become a minoritiescounselor. Frosh Invade Campus requirements. When the freshman declares a major, he will beassigned a faculty advisor in that department. Between 1,400 and 1,500 freshmen invaded the campusMonday and Tuesday for orientation and fall quarter registration. Each was handed a packet containinginformation on the campus and hustled into the Music Auditorium to be officially welcomed by Dean ofStudents Bill McDonald. They also heard speeches by Registrar William O'Neil on degree requirementsand Admissions Director Eugene Omey on registration. They then split into two sections, eachcontaining sub-groups of 15-20 students. One section registered in the morning, while the other sectiontoured the Viking Union, dormitories and then trekked out to 21st Street to sign up for parking. Eachsection switched routines in the afternoon. Tim Douglas, assistant dean of students, explained theadvisement system for freshmen at both meetings in the Music Auditorium. He said a corps of upperdivision students would be in charge of 15-20 freshmen during fall quarter. These upperclassmen willhandle the routine questions on scheduling and degree Emergency Employment Requests Anadmissions office spokesman said that though the freshmen have registered, they have yet to pay tuition. Tuition for resident freshmen is $149 while non-resident freshmen will pay $453. *#* *** *** Somesample comments overheard in the Music Auditorium Monday afternoon: Girl (moaning): "I just had myheart set on taking Philosophy 102 and now it's closed out." Boy: "God, you're lucky. Nothing 1 wantedwas available, and you should see the crap I've g o t . " Boy: "History of Western Civilization. Ugh. Boy:"Jesus, look at all those prerequisites Boy: "What's Chemistry 121 about?" Girl beside him readscatalog description. Boy: "I still don't know what it's about; Christ, what a way to choose courses."Along with other state agencies, Western has compiled a list of possible project-oriented jobs which Gov. Evans took to Washington, D.C., to present to President Nixon, Fil Leanderson, personnel officer, saidin a Front interview last In a response to President Nixon's Emergency Employment Act of 1971,Western was requested to put in a bid for useful and meaningful jobs which would put to workunemployed or under-employed persons. In an effort to retrain professional people tor work in otherareas, Western specifically requested chemists, computer technicians, environmental technicians andfrom the Housing Office, a dietician, a college public relations man and an interior design consultant.According to Leanderson, the bid was, in effect, a shopping list to give Evans some purchasing power forthe available $700 million Nixon appropriated. Evans~ instructed Western to step up some of next year's projects in order to help the state's economic recovery now, even though no money has been given usyet, Leanderson said. Those professional people hired will gain training and expertise in some relevantarea, Leanderson pointed out and will not be just raking All federally funded jobs at Western will beadministered through the employment security office, but as of now, funds will be available for only 12 of18 months. ---------- Western Front - 1971 August 4 - Page 3 ---------- Wednesday, August 4, 1971 Western Front 3 poverty the year in review pollution cops and robberspolitics, parades and pretty girls mmmmmB,vmmmmmmaim -~-~~"Â»Â«Â«"Â°"''^^ msasaasBssm ---------- Western Front - 1971 August 4 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Wednesday, August 4, 1971 Front Editorials.... ff To comfort the afflicted and to afflictthe comforfed" Photo By JEFFERSON BEAR c FINAL MIDNIGHT CAUCUS: LEMON, STOLPE, BUSSA Few Last Words 2 a.m. Tuesdayâ€” The old Pontiac has a dead battery so we'll be walking hometonight. And to top off the evening, some inconsiderate slob took our last book of matches. But we'llhang around long enough to conform to the dictates of tradition and write this one last short editorial ofour college journalism career. It's funny how we've been wringing our hands and clucking our tongue forthis moment, but now find little to say. This newspaper has been pretty much the center of our universefor about five years off and on since the early sixties, interrupted by a short stint as a reporter and timeserved with Uncle Sam's marching service station men in khaki. So it hardly seems true that next weekwe won't be up half the night working on a deadline, or I.D. Photos The Summer Board of Control hasdirected the college to discontinue use of the Polaroid I.D. equipment on the grounds that the system is"potentially oppressive." We object to this for two reasons: First, because the college would be throwingaway $3,000 worth of equipment on the basis that it could possibly be misused. True, two copies of thepicture are made with one going on the student's I.D. card and the other kept in the Dean of Studentsoffice. But this second copy is put in the student's confidential file, a file that is opened to no one withoutthe student's written permission. This includes everyone making a bed on the office floor to grab a fewwinks before dawn and another print shop session. The days ahead will be quiet ones. No morescreaming minorities at our office door. No more uptight and sometimes misquoted professors on thephone. No more tantrums at midnight when the lead page one story falls through. No more ducking under our desk while an ultra-conservative taps on our door with another copy of "The Patriot's Primer." We'llmiss those times. Well, we've successfully fought off the temptation to level a few last blasts and there's no sense sitting here alone and sucking on an unlit pipe. It's a long walk home. Goodbye. â€”JohnStolpe from creditors to "pigs." Second, the AS Legislature, composed of ELECTED studentrepresentatives, voted no on this same issue during spring quarter. A quote from the AS Constitution:the Summer Board of Control ". . . shall limit its business to that concerning summer quarter It seemsthat this issue goes beyond summer quarter in that it dictates policy for the entire year. The action takenby these appointed officials should be ignored. â€”Larry Lemon Reflections on Summer QuarterSummer quarter 1971. It wasn't too much different than any other quarter. For some it was their firstquarter in college, for others it was their last and for most of us it was just one more out of many. Onething that enlivened this quarter was the presence of the sun almost every day, well, almost every daysince the middle of July. Along with the sun, summer quarter also gave us the successful summer stock theatre program, which was equally applauded by. both the college and the city communities.am^^i0Â»9 gt;^]S^m^^mmiii^i^^Â»^S^^^^^^^^. This sunny summer quarter also gave us the opportunity toenjoy the beautiful setting in which we live. The beach, parks, woods and every other recreational facilityhummed with the sounds of enjoyment. Summer quarter saw 1,400 freshmen getting their first views ofthe campus, it saw the construction beginning on several new projects and the construction beingcompleted on others. It saw 18 year olds getting the right to vote, it saw new moves to obtain worldpeace made,; it was, to paraphrase the song, a^yery good quarter. * *r ' " â€”Pat Brennen LettersEditor: What the hell is coming off on this campus? Have students no ethics, no honor to be held atleast among themselves? I am a student. I work as a custodian in the library at nights. We are in thehabit of leaving our office door open. On Thursday someone came into the office and ripped off mymotorcycle helmet. A week ago 1 took off my shirt (my SHIRT!) and left it lying on the back of a chairwhile 1 was working. I was gone 10 to 15 minutes, and it was gone. I would appreciate having at leastmy helmet returned. If whoever took it reads this note and has any scruples at all, they will return it. 1am really burned. 1 don't know what to think. Does one have to guard every personal item with lock andkey? Have we begun to lose our minds already? Man, 1 don't know, but if you ripped off my helmet,you'd better think about what you're doing. C.

Approximately 300 students will be enrolled in different versions of this alternate program during the year 1971-72. The majority of the students in the new program will be located in one of threeplaces- Seattle, Everett or the Whatcom Middle School in Bellingham. The major features of thealternative program for teacher education include: 1. Two quarters full time study in a school setting or in some cases, three quarters in a s c h o o l s e t t i n g . This field-centered program expands thetraditional student teaching by including independent study materials as well as practical experiences inthe classroom. 2. S t u d e n t s complete individualized study materials under the guidance of clinicalprofessors, also located in the school setting, instead of required professional education and psychology courses in the s t a n d a r d program. The independent study packages for the program take the placeof the usual textbooks which are required in campus courses. 3. Student progress and completion ofthe program depend upon the student d e m o n s t r a t i n g particular teaching competencies andknowledge. In the usual college program, grades and credit depend upon attendance, and progress ismeasured by specific periods of time, such as a quarter. In the alternate teacher education program,progress â€¢ is measured by competency. The certificate, then, is proof that the candidate hasdemonstrated specific teaching competencies under practical circumstances. 4. The faculty for thealternative program consists of (1) clinical professors in the Education Department who are located inone of the field centers for Teacher Education and (2) master teachers s p e c i f i c a l l y trained forparticipation in the new program. The team of clinical professors and master teachers constitutes a newapproach to professional course work. Students who plan to go into teacher education should apply tothe Office of Student Teaching, Miller Hall 206, early in their college career. The student teaching officecan furnish a brief description of the available new clinical programs, together with the program ofstudies offered. There are openings in the Seattle Center, beginning in the spring quarter of 1972, and inthe Everett Center in the winter quarter and also in the spring quarter of 1972. The EducationDepartment expects that Centers will be opened for the alternative program in a number of schoolsystems in the next year or two. T h e r e f o r e , freshmen in elementary or secondary e d u c a t i o nshould get i n f o r m a t i o n from the teaching office as early as possible in order to plan for the oil-campus work which will be involved. THE EVERETT PROJECT-PROJECT TURN ABOUT: The EverettClinical Teaching Center is somewhat like a teaching hospital. Clinical professors from Western andfrom the Everett School staff assume responsibility for 300 elementary school students in a low incomearea of Everett. The professors, together with undergraduates in teacher education from Western, meetwith the cprnmunity.and school personnel, .define significant goals for children, translate these goalsinto learning objectives and design teaching strategies so that pupils in this school demonstrateprogress toward these significant goals. The project's ultimate aim is to produce independent and self-motivated elementary students. The teaching staff of the project is organized into teams consisting of(a) one clinical professor, (b) one graduate student who is a certified Everett teacher on leave, (c) fourstudent teachers, and (d) up to twelve laboratory students in education. Each team will be responsiblefor fifty or sixty pupils. There are five teams. Student teachers earn the usual 16 credits for one quarterof study and work. Laboratory students complete two quarters of full time study, earning credits towardthe requirements for elementary certification. They complete self-paced study materials and demonstrate teaching competency under the direction of the clinical professors. In a third quarter of full time study,the graduates of the laboratory program-the laboratory students-become interns, or student teachers, inEverett. THE SEATTLE PROJECT: The clinical program in Seattle operates in six schools in theSoutheast Educational Center of Seattle. These include four elementary schools, a high school, and anew middle school. By winter quarter of the 1971-72 school year, and each succeeding quarter, fifty ormore WWSC students will be spending two quarters of full time study at this field center. A p p r o x i m a t e l y sixty experienced Seattle teachers are cooperating with Western faculty in this new program.These Seattle teachers have volunteered and completed special training materials to prepare them towork with our students. The program was conducted on a pilot basis during the 1970-71 school yearand is fully operational at this time. Students in the fall quarter at Seattle may begin with the opening ofschool, ordinarily in the first week of September and earn an additional 3 credits in Education 390,"Professional Practice and Seminar." This September course is designed to help students make careerdecisions. THE WHATCOM MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECT: Vern Tyler of the P s y c h o l o g yDepartment coordinates a special program which takes place in the Whatcom Middle School inBellingham. Students in this program spend half a day, every day, throughout an entire school yearworking with cooperating teachers in this school. In the process of their practical work with individualpupils at Whatcom Middle School, students complete requirements for a number of professional c o u rs e s in psychology, education, and in the elementary minor or major. Applicants for this program should get in touch with Tyler in Psychology Department, Miller Hall 342A. GRADUATE PROGRAMS FORFUTURE TEACHERS: Western has a Teacher Corps Project which is designed for students who havecompleted a bachelor's degree and who wish to become teachers. These students,,niay.tftave degreesin-a number of fields which are quite unrelated to teacher education. Their program is also a fieldprogram and is designed to help each new corps member attain specific competencies for teaching. The Teacher Corps Program operates in four school districts and is aimed at i m p r o v i n g the learningopportunities of students with cultural disadvantages. A similar program operates in the Auburn Schools. Graduates seeking to become teachers complete a competency-based field, program in one of theAuburn Elementary Schools. A unique feature of this program is that it was originally sponsored and isnow operated by the professional teachers association of the Auburn Schools. Herbert Hite, chairman ofthe E d u c a t i o n Department, discusses alternate programs for teacher education. f/MEsmmmBHEHgB^v ' fflSElKMHIZ s 1IILDEHSTERH ARE DEAD RUG 5,6,78 VERY FUNNY VERY BRILLIANTVERY CHILLING SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCU OF AN AUTHOR I HUG 12,13, K 1 5 A PUZZLE INREALITY A QÂ»E '6 '7.M WORD, MUSIC, HUMOR zJLLICE in . â€¢"â€¢ WONDERjLAND "S TH^TmAUG, 20,21,2;30 7;30 CHILDREN AND[STUDENTS 5Q cents J _ . __.i_Â«_â„¢^_l M_-.. .f , . , ....â€¢i,rifl.IM...-.T.Wii. gt;r^T^Ttiir"rffln-^^ ---------- Western Front - 1971 August 4 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Wednesday, August 4, 1971 GRADUATING MEN AND WOMEN!

Resolves To Boycott Polaroid Corp By KEM AKERS Front Reporter The summer Board of Control has passed a resolution calling for theboycott of Polaroid products being used and sold at WWSC because the Polaroid ID-2 system is beingused as an oppressive tool by foreign governments. The BOC resolution said that the Polaroid ID-2system has been used as a major means of oppressing blacks in South Africa, and that the Province ofQuebec is currently negotiating the use of the Polaroid ID-2 system to "keep tabs" on its citizenry. Theresolution claimed that every repressive regime has depended upon some means of surveillance of itspopulace, and that the United States has entered a new climate of repression, i.e., FBI and Pentagonfiles, and "concentration camp law," etc. The resolution said that the Polaroid ID-2 system has beenproved an effective means of controlling dissenters and oppressing others, and that it therefore presents a clear and present danger to all free peoples everywhere. The Polaroid ID-2 system here at Western,although solely for bureaucratic purposes, is potentially oppressive, the resolution said. The BOC issympathetic to the Polaroid Revolutionary Workers Movement (PRWM), a group of black workers whohave come together to act and to protest against the role of Polaroid products in South Africa and hascalled for a boycott of the Polaroid Corporation until Polaroid agrees to meet three demands: (1) ThatPolaroid announces a policy of complete disengagement from South Africa because all Americancompanies doing business there reinforce the racist system. (2) That Polaroid announces its position on apartheid publicly in the United States and South Africa. (3) That Polaroid contribute profits earned inSouth Africa to the recognized African liberation movements. On the basis of this, the summer Board ofControl has called for the following action: The student co-op will be asked to support the boycott byneither purchasing nor selling Polaroid products until the demands of the PRWM are met in full. A copyof the resolution will be sent to the student legislatures of all state educational institutions, asking thatthey pass similar ones. The resolution will be communicated to all departments within Western whichuse camera equipment asking them to support the boycott. A committee will be established to: (1)research to find an alternative to the present ID system at Western; such research to be completed in 30days; and (2) present the finding to the proper body and see that this finding be implemented, such analternative shall require no picture and shall be in no way potentially oppressive. The Board of Controlalso proposed that no Polaroid film be bought for the present ID system (if at all ever again) until theabove mentioned committee has submitted its findings, that communications be sent immediately to the Associated Students of Eastern Washington State College urging them to do the same, and that theDirector of Student Activities be advised of this action." August Grad Ceremony Set Commencementexercises for August bachelor degree recipients are planned for Aug. 20 in Red Square. Tim Arndt,commencement committee member, said Friday that about 125 graduates are expected, and that theexercises "will be more informal than those in June." He added, however, that caps and gowns arerequired dress. Dean of Students Bill McDonald is scheduled to speak. This is the second year for theAugust graduation ceremonies, according to Tim Douglas, assistant dean of men. He said that in pastyears, August graduates had always taken part in the June exercises, but because there had been toomany participants for last June, an August ceremony had been inaugurated. Last year, 75 graduatesattended the August ceremony. Participants are to gather in the Miller Hall foyer at 5 p.m.; theceremonies begin at 6 p.m. If it rains, the graduates will meet in Carver Gym at 5:30 p.m., andceremonies in the gym will begin at 6 p.m. There will be a reception in the Viking Union Lounge following the ceremonies and an "informal get-together" at The Body Shop at 8 p.m. Testing Center Gives Varietyof Exams The Testing Center is a little known service which administers or supervises the administration of most standardized tests given on campus. According to Don Blood, college examiner, most studentscoming to the testing center have been referred there by other agencies for a particular test. Anyoneseeking aptitude or interest inventory type tests should consult the counseling center, Blood said,explaining that his center functions mainly with the administration of tests required for students such asthe Mathematics Placement Test. The testing center also handles many tests administered for outsidetesting agencies, such as the Federal Aviation Agency's written test for pilot licenses, Blood said. Thetesting center has ready any challenge course test except for activity, conference or special problemcourses. Many students don't realize that credit by examination is available to anyone up until the end ofthe fourth week of the quarter. Another function of the testing center is to administer the facultyevaluation tests which give the students the freedom to critically evaluate a faculty member. Theadministration "urges" the faculty to have each of their classes evaluated at least once each year, Bloodsaid. Anyone with questions about required tests should contact the testing center or if anyone feels aclass is redundant in view of their background, credit by examination tests can be taken.

HI ---------- Western Front - 1971 August 4 - Page 7 ---------- OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES H j YTTiK pizza Fishing Hot Spots The fishing in Whatcom County, following the trend in the weather, is getting better all the time. During the June cold streak, fisheries officials,counting fishermen and catches, were extremely discouraged by the poor showing of trout in the county's lakes and streams. But as the weather began to brighten, so did their weekly reports culminating in theextremely optimistic reports of the past week. Cedar and Pine Lakes, situated at the end of anunmarked trail on Chuckanut Mountain, are really beginning to hit their prime. Three fishermen returningafter a two-day outing this past weekend reported fish up to 15 inches striking at almost any well-cast fly. They thought the fish would bite anything cast close to the surface, but they found that fly fishing worked the best for them. As long as the Nooksack stays low and clear, fishing for huge Dolly Vardens will befairly hot. The fish are few and far between, but when they hit a clump of drifting eggs, look out! SeniorBob Wedel had his six-pound test leader broken last week by a monster that struck and just kept going.Fishing up around Maple Falls should be the best. The hotspot of the first month of the fishing season,Silver Lake, is just about fished out. It has been producing in the early morning, but forget evenattempting any plunking in the afternoon. Lake Terrell is still and always practically overflowing withcatfish. Although not very large, these fish bite at almost everything and are especially easy to catch inearly evening. Getting further away from town, Ross Lake has Mine Exploring \ Prospectors, packmules and gold mines in : Whatcom County? They are a rarity today, but during the turn of the century,the county was the scene of a major gold rush. " Whatcom County's p Little Klondike DepopulatesSumas" read a ' headline in the Sept. 19, 1897, issue of The â€¢ Reveille, a Sumas paper. "The fever isspreading to Whatcom and Seattle," the paper declared. "Mr. " M. R. Dunn of Sumas has since boughtout samples that assayed over $10,000 per ton." While the prospectors and the gold fever have long leftWhatcom County, the evidence of mining r activity remains. Some of the most interesting of i these areeasily found by people willing to look for , them. Some former diggings are close to the Mt. BakerHighway. For example, a mine located about two miles above Glacier can be seen on the right side of the road from a car. The Great Excelsior Mine is another easy one to reach. The Deadhorse Creek Road isentered about ten miles past Glacier and is followed for about two miles, where a side road to the leftleads directly to the been steadily producing some especially large cutthroat and rainbows just above the dam. If you're heading up that direction this coming weekend, you can catch the workboat leavingDiablo at 9:15 a.m., and be transported right up to the dam. There are no roads into the area, and theboat costs just 50 cents. Fishing from the bank has been very good in the area of the Big Beavercampground, just about a five-mile hike up the west bank of the lake. Baker Lake looks like Seattle'sLake Washington at Seafair race time. Get up where the Baker River flows into the lake, and you couldpossibly escape the crowds. A place that is really great for kids, but completely overlooked is WhatcomCreek about 100 yards below Whatcom Falls. Fish range up to 12 inches and are easily caught onworms. If your kid fishes, take him down there on a weekday (weekends are crowded with swimmers and waders) and you probably won't see another person the whole time you're there. Some fairly good-sizedkings are moving up the Skagit River, which continues to drop and should soon be in great fishing shape.Egg clusters or bright lures fished from the bank can often yield real monsters. If you get a chance, head up to Wiseman Lake by Mt. Baker for the best fishing highland lakes are providing right now. We won'ttell you how to get there, but you won't be disappointed if you can find the lake. Great view of Mt. Bakerand the Sisters, too. mine. Situated at Wells Creek, the site was established in 1899 and employed 40men. Ruins of the mining buildings and bunkhouses can be readily seen. But the two most successfulmines in the county, the Lone Jack and the Boundary Red Mountain, require some hiking. The Lone Jack is reached by driving to the end of the Twin Lakes Road; then walking along a marked trail to the mine.The trail is wide and level, in contrast to the steep, switchbacking road. Established Sept. 6, 1897, themine was rich in gold. The site was demolished twice by slides, but the present buildings can be seenfrom the trail. The Red Mountain Mine is also accessible from the Twin Lakes, but requires hiking downthe steep Silesia Creek Trail and north along Silesia Creek to within one mile of the Canadian border.Next to the Lone Jack, the Red Mountain site was the richest gold mine in the county and earned about$1.5 million before being discontinued in 1932. Evidence of the mine as well as mill works still remain.Do's Don 'ts at Mt Baker By LYN WATTS Outdoor Editor With most of the Mt. Baker National Forestarea now open to camping and hiking, the forest service has been prompted into issuing a guide of do'sand don'ts for outdoor enthusiasts planning on venturing into the wilds. DON'T pick alpine wildflowers, butleave them for others to enjoy. Heather, bleeding hearts, Johnny jump-ups, and alpine lilies are all inbloom now. DON'T cut up live trees for firewood, as dead stuff is probably available a short distance fromyour campsite. The forest service reports severe damage to the Baker Lake camp areas due to thecutting of living trees. DON'T wander off established trails. People cutting switchbacks can cause serious damage to well-planned trails. Several persons are lost each year, simply because they thought theycould find a faster route than an established trail. DON'T forget about fire danger. Two weeks of hightemperature and low humidity have created a serious fire situation. Try to leave all fire causing devices,including motorcycles, at home and try to be satisfied with a simple campfire. DON'T leave your camping gear unattended! Thefts in campgrounds are rising sharply, especially in the more crowded areas. Lockany gear which could easily be lifted into the car trunk, or at least stick it in your tent while you're outfishing or whatever. Report any thefts immediately to the nearest ranger station. DON'T attempt any ice-fishing. The ice on all highland lakes is beginning to break up and is very unstable. Two fishermen foundthat out at Heather Meadows this past weekend, one almost drowning before help arrived. DON'Tattempt to hike beyond your physical capacity. Inquire at any ranger station about the difficult of a trail orclimb and whether any special equipment is needed. DO use extreme caution crossing showfields. DOput your food and gear away for the night and daytime too. With the late spring, bears are still hungry and have been seen prowling campgrounds' in search of easy meals. Stowing gear away also discouragestwo-legged rats. DO use old camp and firesites. Only create new sites if absolutely necessary and keepnew fire pits as small as possible. DO remember that camping permits are required for overnightcamping in the North Cascades National Park. Permits can be obtained at the park headquarters inSedro Woolley. Failure to comply with the permit system can result in fairly stiff penalties. DO travel with headlights on while on dusty, back roads. A couple of collisions could have been avoided on the BakerLake Road this year if lights had been on. DO consult with a ranger before making any trips into theback country. He can advise you on stream conditions, snow levels, even on which lakes have the bestfishing. Many roads are still closed due to last winter's flood, and rangers can provide you with a list ofclosed ones. Watch out for logging trucks on all mountain roads, and honk your horn at each corner.smorgasbord Wednesda/ 4 to 9 p.m.' Italian and American Food ALL YOU CAN EAT FOR $1.50 (tinder10-half price) 111 E.

Five More Plays On Tap For Summer Stock Group ByMIKECAVEN Front Reporter The busy summer stock group closed two plays last weekend, leaving fivemore on the schedule. This week they will present "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead." Thisunusual and provocative play will be performed Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:15 p.m. in the OldMain Theatre with the closing performance on Sunday at 2:30 ' ' R o s e n c r a n t z and GuildensternAre Dead" revolves around two minor characters in Shakespeare's "Hamlet" who were supposed todeliver Hamlet to his murderers. The play was very well received by all critics, setting the novice author,Tom Stoppard, high among modern playwrights. The show ' is directed by Dennis Catrell. Following"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" will be Luigi Pirandello's engaging "Six Characters in Searchof an Author" which runs from August 12-15. This is a play written before the audience's eyes on stageby six interesting characters. From August 16-18 playgoers will be able to view Dylan Thomas' poetic"Under Milk Wood," a play which offers the audience a unique experience. The final adult production isa very humorous farce involving misters and spinsters who marry and mix, "See How They Run," playingAugust 19-22. Concurrently on August 20 and 21 with two performances a day at 2:30 and 7:30, thesummer stock will offer for children an adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic, "Alice in Wonderland,"directed by Jane Nelson. Nine plays in five weeks has kept the summer stock students cloisteredtogether working, rehearsing, painting and costuming. Seldom does one ever get to see a member of the group in the sunlight. This is the purpose of summer stock theatre-to help train and educate futuredrama teachers, actors and technicians about all phases of theatrical production. The previous fourproductions have been successful from this standpoint and are well received by audiences. The last two, "Under the Gaslight" and "Trudi and the Minstrel," clearly revealed this teamwork, too, in spite of a fewflaws. "Under the Gaslight" by Augustin Daly was the most successful of the two. The nineteenthcentury melodrama was one of the first to have a victim tied to the railroad tracks by the villain. Muchhard work on the part of technicians created a smooth, uniform changing and operating of sets, with anentertaining olio act between each scene. From the waters of "Pier 30" to the train (with tennis shoes),the tech people performed like champs. The cast, too, kept their part of the show bubbling. JodyDowdall as Snorkey was the highlight as the one-armed patriotic soldier messenger. Preston Boyd asRay Trafford, the romantic hero, turned in the most believable part. Greg Ross acted his usual polishperformance as Justice Bowling. Jayne Muirhead lapsed into her former stylized role as Masie in "TheBoyfriend" physically and vocally, in portraying Pearl Courtland. The major complaint with the production was its interpretation. "Under the Gaslight" is a melodrama, not a mellerdrama-that is, it needs andshould be played "straight." The villains needed to be more villainous instead of comical, and theheroines more sincere, although Chris Bednarz was most refreshing as Laura. However, the children'splay, "Trudi and the Minstrels," failed on its billing as a children's play. Adults loved it, but the childrensquirmed, talked and wanted to go home. The show ran for two and a half hours. The action scenes foichildren were brilliantly directec' with the kids on the edge ot their seats; the long talky scenescontained good acting, too, bu! the adults were straining to hea the words as their childrer squirmed. Iheard that the director cut some of these boring scenes out in latei performances,. Larry Watson as the minstre.- and Ellen Kuykendall as Trudi were smooth in their c h a r a c t erizations. ClaremarieVerheyen was sheer genius in her portrayal as the baroness. It was-one of the best children's theatrevillains I've ever seen acted Larry Hannon deserves mucl c r e d i t for his human characterization ofRothbart. the troll with a heart. The dragon, Schlafnicht, played by Wayne McKinnon was very effective.His blue costume, superbly crafted by designer Don Adams, and McKinnon'sr mannerism createdSchlafnicht as comic, yet terrifying. The final chase scene in strobe lights was a directorial touch ofcreativity. If only the play was cut to an hour and a half, "Trudi and the Minstrel" w o u l d have been anu n f o r g e t t a b l e , enriching theatrical experience for the audience -it was design for-children.Tickets for the rest of the season can be purchased either at the door or at the VU information desk. The remaining five plays promise to be as exciting and varied as the last four. URLEY'S PHARMACY 10%DISCOUNT WITH STUDENT I.D. ON PRESCRIPTIONS! FREE DELIVERY ON CAMPUS. 1311COMMERCIAL ST. 733-7470

It was the furthest the B52s have ever penetrated in North Vietnam and the first time they have struck targets north of theDMZ in four years. They have steered clear of the north until now because of the Surface-to-Air SAMmissiles to which they are vulnerable. Nixon approves WASHINGTON-Military spokesmen announcedthat President Nixon personally approved the B52 bombing strikes over North Vietnam to help SouthVietnam repell a North Vietnamese invasion. "We will do what is necessary to assist the SouthVietnamese forces to stop the invasion," presidential Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said. Senator onpot WASHINGTON-Sen. Harold E. Hughes, D-Iowa, a member of the National Commission on Marijuanaand Drug Abuse said Sunday that he had tried marijuana while in the Army during World War II and that"it had absolutely no effect on me." "Marijuana is not new and it is used as most Americans do notrealize by many business people, by many prominent people in America who suffer no ill effects from it,"Hughes said. Skyjacker caught SALT LAKE CITY -The FBI announced yesterday the recovery of$499,970 in the home of the sky-diving college student held for the hijacking of a United Air Lines jet lastweek. The disclosure came in a list submitted by the FBI to the U.S. magistrate on the results of aSunday search of the Provo, Utah, home of Richard Floyd McCoy Jr., 29, a Vietnam veteran majoring inlaw enforcement at Brigham Young University. Agents had dug up McCoy's backyard during the search,but the money was found in a box taken from his brick home. Polar bear-hunting restrictedANCHORAGE-Airborne polar bear hunters have been grounded for good by the Alaska Fish and GameBoard which banned hunting the bears from the air. The new regulation passed Saturday bans usingaircraft in any manner as an aid in taking polar bears or in transporting the animals' hides or parts. Theban takes effect Oct. 15 when the season opens, and - allows a hunter to take one bear every fourregulatory years. Both subsistence and sports hunting will be affected by the ban.

The c o m p e t i t i o n was sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi (SDX),professional journalistic society. The Front was entered in Region 10, which includes studentnewspapers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska. The Front has won a first placerating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association at Columbia University on March 10. Threepapers from Fall quarter were submitted for judging in that contest. The SDX awards were presentedSaturday in Portland, Oregon at a luncheon sponsored by the organization. Competition, was based onthe submission of three consecutive issues of the student newspaper, which were then rated. The Frontsubmitted the first three papers of Winter quarter. This is the first year Western has entered the SDXregional competition. In winning first place, Johnston's articles will be submitted to a nationalcompetition in Chicago, 111. The awards were presented by William C. Payette, president of UnitedFeature Syndicate and national vice president of SDX. Payette was also the guest speaker during theluncheon, and spoke on investigative reporting. Winning first and second place, respectively, in thecompetition were the Oregon State University Barometer and the University of Washington Daily.Trustees stall pending constitutionality ruling by DAN TOLVA Western's Board of Trustees supportedestablishment of a WashPIRG chapter here "in p r i n c i p l e , " but postponed unqualified support ofthe Ralph Nader-inspired organization until a committee could report on the effort. Board membersRobert W. Winston of Spokane and Paul B. Hanson of Bellingham were appointed to the committee tohear arguments pro and con. A delaying action was needed pending a ruling by Attorney General SladeGorton on the constitutionality of WashPIRG's funding mechanism on campus. AS Vice-president Larry Diamond and Dean William Bultman defended WashPIRG to the Board after the question of theproject's academic validity was raised. Diamond said no matter what the Board finally ruled, organizingWashPIRG had been an " i n c r e d i b l e learning e x p e r i e n c e for everyone involved." He urgedthe Board not to send the matter to committee, as it would be wasteful and redundant for the boardmembers to "rehash" everything over again. Dean Bultman cited ' ' w h o l e - h e a r t e d " facultyapproval of WashPIRG as proof of the program's academic validity. "WashPIRG isn't only acceptable,but exciting and well thought out as a supplement to our academic program," he said. Dean of StudentsBill McDonald added to the defense of W a s h P I R G , saying "WashPIRG projects will contribute tothe student's total e x p e r i e n c e and total development." Black funded for conference AliceCrawford, a Black education major from Western, will be attending a multi-ethnic e d u c a t i o nconference in Berkeley California, later this quarter. Funds for the trip were unanimously approved bythe Activities Council during a meeting last week. Crawford, a junior from Memphis, Tenn., is majoring in education with an emphasis on preschool and early childhood. The Black Student Union (BSU) insupporting her request for funds said in a memo to the council, "In our opinion Alice Crawford will benefitnot only herself and the BSU, but this college as a whole." "With this information, we hope to updatethe education of non-Whites and make it pertain to the problem facing this area of education." Thecouncil also allocated f u n d s for the Women's C o m m i s s i o n ' s Karate demonstration in CarverGym on April 15. A spokesman from the commission said one reason for the demonstration was toshow women how to defend themselves. Patrick C. Comfort, Board s e c r e t a r y , opposed theresolution supporting WashPIRG on a limited scale because he said it would be self-defeating. "It's likesaying 'Gee, I like the way you're dressed, but I d o n ' t like your tie, coat, pants . . . ' ' Comfort said.The Board of Trustees will make a final decision on WashPIRG after hearing their committee's report.They will also take into consideration the outcome of a similar proposal before the University ofWashington's Board of Regents. Trustees appoint Aitken head of P.E. department Margaret H. Aitken,professor of physical education, was a p p o i n t e d to head the n e w l y - m e r g e d p h y s i c aleducation department by Western's Board of Trustees last Thursday. She received her BA in physicaleducation from the University of Washington in 1941 and her MA from Columbia University in 1946. Shebegan teaching at Western that year and was named head of the Womerts physical educationdepartment in 1963. Old Main gets grant - funds used to remodel A $600,000 grant from theWashington State Council of Higher Education plus $245,000 from the state legislature will finance theremodeling of Old Main. Sealed bids will be opened April 21 and work will begin soon after selection and approval of the contractor by Western's Board of Trustees. The $600,000 was awarded to Western after it was shown that enrollment projections justified a proposed increase in classroom space. A Teletypemachine leased from United Press International (UPI) has been installed in the Western Front office(Viking Union 313). The news copy from the wire service is available for perusal by students and facultyat the Information Volunteer Service facilities in the Viking Union foyer. The machine will be in serviceeach day from about 10 p.m. to 2 p.m. the following day. The leased line will feature regional, nationaland international news. Starting with this issue the Front will begin publishing items from UPI thatotherwise might not be available to our readers. Cost of the service is being shared by the AS legislatureand the Western Front.

Promises, promises As presidential primariesget into full swing and campaigning gets hot and heavy, it's time for those good old campaign promisesagain. Somehow, throwing the word campaign in there doesn't make them real promises in the usualsense of the word. The campaign promises appear instead to be rhetorical battles, and little more, amongcontenders who are trying to outdo each other for Joe Public's affectionâ€”and his vote. jâ€”mm %. Thiscan b.e a very confusing time for poor Joe Public as he tries to sort out the propaganda spewed forth fromthe candidates through public appearances, the news media and numerous leaflets and letters stuffed inhis mailbox and thrown on his porch. It's too bad Joe can't get to know the candidates personallyâ€”anopportunity very few of us might ever have. It would conceivably help him sort out the sincere candidatefrom the ostentatious one. It's also hard for Joe to figure out just exactly what the candidate's plan ofaction is for the promises he makes. Maybe someday we'll see a campaign where the hopefuls will spellout exactly what they mean so Joe can make an intelligent decision. Until then he'll just have to do hisbest to understand all the gobbledy gook that's thrown at him by checking and reading as many sourcesas he can before he makes his choice. Good luck, Joe. See you in November. Alice Collingwood Guestcommentary About three years ago on a warm June night in New York, a small, dingy overcrowded Gay bar called Stonewall was raided by the local vice squad. The cops went about their usual procedure ofhauling everyone out of the bar and randomly throwing some Gays in the paddy wagon; only this raidwas different. As a large crowd began to gather in front of the Stonewall, a tension began to develop.There were angry shouts at the cops as they threw the transvestites into the wagon. The women in thebar openly struggled against the physical attacks of the police. Then the angry shouts turned to action;a brick went flying toward the police, then another and another until the cops were forced to retreatwithin the Stonewall to save their lives. The Gays were up in arms for the first time since they picketedthe White House in 1953 over the actions of Joe McCarthy who was throwing "known homosexuals" out of government jobs right and left. The Gay community was involved for three days in riots after theStonewall incident. From this outburst of rage and anger a new feeling emerged in Gaysâ€”they nowknew they had power to change the rotten state of existence they had endured for the last 2,000 yearsin Western culture. The Gay Liberation Front was organized in New York and many other groups havesince been organized across the country. While the first burst of anger has now turned into what mightbe called A Movement, it is far from homogenous. There are many groups with differentemphasisâ€”some more political, some social, some highly specialized, i.e., those dealing only withhomosexual alcoholics, some all-women and some primarily educational. However, the movement ingeneral has now begun to react positively against the social forces that oppress them. The first stepmust begin with the Gay person and all of the negative attitudes about themselves as a homosexualthey may have internalized. As one Gay friend said to me, "we must vomit them out of our systems like the poisons they are and replace them with positive feelings about ourselves; we can never fighteffectively until we believe we are worth fighting for." The Gay Peoples Alliance has undertaken justsuch a project this spring. During the week April 24th-April 28th we hope to not only instill more pride inourselves but to rid a few people here on campus of their own set of internalized prejudices about Gays.Gay Pride Week is first a strong declaration of a good feeling about our Gayness and secondly aninvitation to the community at large to learn the truth about us first hand. Most of the speakers andevents involve Gay people themselves or their chosen representativesâ€” not those self-appointedguardians of our spiritual or mental health as may be found tn many pulpits or psychiatry offices. Wehave a Gay lawyer to talk about Gays and the law, a Gay minister who started his own gay church, agay man who is involved in suing for the right to marry his lover, Gay women to speak about theirrelationship to the feminist movement, a discussion of the many facets of Gay oppression by a formerCatholic priest (a Gay man himself) as well as a discussion of the place of a homosexual within today'sChristian community by a Catholic priest from Seattle, a representative to speak on transsexuals andtransvestites, a night of Gay Theater to be presented by our local group, and we are going to end theweek with an all-college dance that will feature a drag show at the intermission. The week of activitieswill perhaps cause 3. tremendous amount of emotion from the straights and closeted gays, and at thesame time receive angry cries of 'Not Enough!' by the most impatient elements of the movement.However, Gay Pride Week is not the end of the actions taken by the Gay Peoples Allianceâ€”it is onlythe beginning. And to my way of thinking, a good, strong, positive beginning.

NEWSROOM: 676-3161 ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 On the home front by Steve Johnston Why not turn Westerninto a singles resort? SCENE: Inside a bomb shelter, somewhere near the Canadian border. Five men are gathered' around a card table; all have worried expressions on their faces. One man stands up andplayfully taps his pipe on top of the nearest man's head to gain attention. CHIEF: You boys may alreadyknow why I called you here. (The other men mutter and shake their heads.) Well, it's budget problemsagain. Seems they cut it down by two million or so. BUD (Taking notes): Is that spelled with six zeros orseven? , CHIEF: Six, I believe. Now the reason I brought you to my country home was to find out what we can cut back that will add up to two million dollars. What do you think, J.B.? J.B. (A former Boeingengineer and known for his business savy): Okay, Chief, why don't we run this idea up the flagpole andsee who salutes itl You know those young people we have working for the company, I mean the oneswith the long hair and always showing up for work in blue jeans? CHIEF: Do you mean the students?J.B.: Oh, is that their job classification? Well, what I was thinking was to fire the whole bunch of them. Imean they're just taking up a lot of room on the company's grounds and kind of just wander aroundaimlessly anyway. If we could get rid of them, then we could shift to something more profitable, like usingall these rooms for a singles resort. Then we could add some more personnel to the administration staff.HANK (Waving his hand madly): Chief, correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression thecompany was being operated for the students. You know, like you said at the last graduation speech,building a better America through education and all that jazz. J.B. (Shocked by this disclosure): I had noidea we were in the student business. Isn't that against the law, I mean manufacturing students? It wouldseem to be immoral or something. What do you think, Albee? ALBEE (Thinking it over for a minute): Totell you the truth I always thought we were in the business of writing up committee reports andconducting meetings with other administrators. It never occurred to me what those young people weredoing on company gounds. But if what Hank says about the students belonging here is true, then itwould be a bad idea to kick them out of the company. J.B.: Okay, then if we can't get rid of them, maybewe could put them to work. Anybody know what they can do? HANK: I believe they are good atmemorizing things. If I remember right, one of their greatest assets is the ability to remember greatquantities of inconsequential material. People tell me some of them get quite good at it after a while.BUD: Say, that's right. And I remember hearing they were good at turning out papers on any subject,sometimes at great speeds. J.B.: But what good will that do us? I mean who wants to hire a bunch ofpeople who just memorize things. Anyway we have computers to do things like that. I still think we should get rid of these students and develop the company grounds into a singles resort. Think of all thoserooms just going to waste right now. HANK: How about those other people we have working for thecompany, the ones with chalk dust on the back of their shiny suits? You know, the teachers. Why don'twe kick a few out? Then we could knock out some of the walls between the classrooms and put morestudents in one class. We could reduce the teacher/student ratio to something like 1,000 to 1. Save a loton pay.. CHIEF: We're already doing that. HANK: Well, then how about raising the tuition a little more,say up to $200 a quarter? CHIEF: We're already doing that too. Actually, I think you all have good ideasbut we have not hit on the right idea yet. GEORGE (Who has not said anything until now): You know,Chief, we could cut back on the administration. (The men start to grumble but the Chief holds up his handfor silence.) If we didn't have an administrator for every little detail we probably could save a big chunk ofdough. (The Chief is now having a hard time keeping the other men from going for George's throat.) Itseems like we have so many administrators that we have to think up committees just to keep them busy. (J.B. spits across the table.) If we have to cut back somewhere, why don't we start in the administration?I mean, really, what good is an administration when there is no one to administer? J.B. (Shouting): He'sdrugged, Chief. He doesn't know what he's talking about. HANK (Also shouting): Yeah, Chief, he musthave been on too many committees and went off his nut. CHIEF (With a look of supreme wisdom): No,gentlemen, I think George has a good idea there. (He turns to George) George, you're fired. CHIEF(Turning back to the other men): Now that were you saying about a singles resort, J.B.? ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 11 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, April 11, 1972 Western Front Letters: Editor's note: Letters to the editor will be printedaccording to space available. In order to be printed, letters must carry the author's complete name,major and class standing. No anonymous letters will be accepted, however names will be withheld upon request. All, letters submitted must be limited to 250 words or less. The editor reserves the right to edit any letter for libel or taste. Don't steal !!! Editor, Western Front: On April 3, 1972, you had an articlefrom a townsperson saying that stores stealâ€”I disagree. For the past six years, I worked at one of thestores mentioned in your article. You say shoppers shouldn't steal, also merchants shouldn't steal. Iagree on both counts. When one is a cashier or a clerk in a store, try to remember all the prices-YOUCAN'T. When you have a long line of shoppers at the cash register you are pushed to get them throughso they do not have to wait, when they make a mistake, they apologize and make it good, they are notstealing. But when a shopper takes a 19c item from the store and puts it in their pocket, walks out of the door-THAT'S STEALING. Thank you, Curtis A. Smith Sundquist heroin strategy suspicious Editor,Western Front: Tod Sundquist's plan, for curing Bellingham's heroin problem by the use of paidanonymous informers sounds like one more step towards governmental repression of a citizen's rights. I do not object to the idea of informersâ€”if a citizen witnesses the law being violated it is his duty toreport it, but I do object to anonymous informers. A n o n y m o u s action is suspicious by its verynature. When the government condones and fosters this action it becomes dangerous to liberty.Sundquist cites Tampa's use of a similar program and its resultsâ€”39 convictions out of 5 000informations. This is hardly spectacular. 78/100 of 1 per cent convictions leads me to wonder what hasbecome of t h o s e o t h e r 4 , 9 61 names-peoples names. Are they s a f e l y stored away ongovernmental computer tapes for use at some undetermined date? It is easy to see that the m i s u s eof a n o n y m o us i n f o r m a t i o n is not an impossibility. It is hard to ignore such an idea afterseeing Senator J o e McCarthy and his anonymous lists in action in the early 1950's, the recentuncovering of U.S. Army spying on civilians being called "over-zealous" and thinking about Orwell's 1984. I oppose the use of any student or state funds to establish any program based on anonymousinformers and hope the majority of the student body will argue with me in time to block the start of thisprogram at Western. Mitchell M. Pollock Senior, Pol. Sci. Aitken's selection to cause problemsEditor, Western Front: The announcement of the selection of Dr. Margaret Aitken as the chairman of thecombined D e p a r t m e n t of Physical Education appears to create many problems which may not be easily remedied. First, the post of Athletic D i r e c t o r as a position responsible to Dean Bultmannseems to create a problem in the "chain of command." Assuming that the article in the April 4 issue ofthe Western Front is accurate, then the division of authority leaves the Director of Athletics in a positionwhich is not one of authority and not entirely responsible to the head of the department. This couldpossibly lead to a situation where different areas of authority would overlap, with the clash having to beresolved by someone outside the department. This does not appear to be desirable. However, if theDirector of Athletics is responsible to the department chairman, this could lead to a conflict of interest,making the position on the faculty as well as the Athletic Director's post both q u i t e u n t e n a b l e .Both a l t e r n a t i v e s seem to be unpleasant. Second, the A.D. post should retain the authority ofbeing the Director of Facilities of Carver Gym. Without having that authority with the title of A.D., it could be exceedingly difficult to schedule events into the gym without the assurance of having the â€¢facilities available on that date. Western has an' excellent reputation as a host for athletic competition,and this could be lost quite quickly, if the facilities were not available to the A.D. on that date. The headof the P.E. department could 'rubber stamp' all requests for facilities, but the first time the rubber stampis not forthcoming, there will be a confrontation to be solved outside the department. This division ofauthority would leave one person controlling p e r s o n n e l , and another controlling the facilities, or one person controlling both, leaving the A.D. in a position of little or no authority. Lastly, will athleticprograms be reduced? Dr. Aitken stated that "we'll continue to have athletics," which implies that in hernew position she will have a say in the future of continued athletics. If this is true, then further division ofauthority has occurred, and the Athletic Director has once again been h a m s t r u n g by the newarrangement, which makes the title essentially worthless. This implies control of athletics in generalwould have to extend to the athletic budget as well, and the sympathies of Dr. Aitken towards athleticsare at this p o i n t unknown. Perhaps athletics will not be cut out, but reducing the subsistence levelbudget beyond current levels would in effect be eliminated after all. This is not desirable at all. Thus, inthree areas no resolution of authority is apparent. It is entirely possible that further information whichhas not been released would rectify these problems. F i n a l l y , I urge Dean Bultmann to either furtherclarify or reconsider the plans for the positions of Chairman of the Department of Physical Education and the post of Athletic Director. Brady L. Smith 258 Kappa Coop lockers safe? Editor, Western Front;This letter is concerned with the book and purse depository in the student co-op. A co-op should be inthe best interests of the people it serves. The book and purse depository is good insurance for the store, not the customers. The book store said they have a policy of refunding money for stolen articles.That's not so easy as it sounds. A friend of ours had his book and notes for a take-home final (due thefollowing day) stolen. When he reported the loss, the salesperson did nothing. W h a t , a l s o , aboutirreplaceable items? The things you may have gotten somewhere else that can't be replaced no m a t t e r how good the bookstore's intentions are. It's easy to say leave them somewhere else, but the bookand purse depository is supposed to be as safe for the student as for the store. It if is possible for othercampuses to protect student's belongings, why isn't it for Western? The University of California atBerkeley has coin-refunding lockers. You put in 25 cents, get a key, do your shopping; and when youput the key back in, the quarter drops back out. These lockers would protect the store, but they wouldalso protect the student (who should be considered, too). Book depositories are fine in a rip-off freeenvironment; but since we don't have that, we feel the students are entitled to this step t o w a r dprotecting their belongings. Joann Mertens Patt Johnson Steve Brown Afro/Asia studies shallow,pointless Editor, Western Front: One cannot be surprised that General Studies course 321 has beensingled out for negative comment by one of your readers. As one who has had to take this course, I canonly concur that most everybody who has taken it is disgusted with it. The material offered is treatedon a very shallow basis, the exams are pointless, with no e x c u s e offered for not permitting thestudent to review errors, and the course grading is nothing less than chaotic. T h i s hodge-podge ofpseudo-knowledge is a course which exists solely for the benefit of the instructors who, incidentally,demonstrate an appalling disregard for the students. Even the 20 students who did not walk out of thelecture would probably not be there if it weren't for the fact that they are being intimidated into taking this course which is presumeably required of all graduating seniors on this campus. Many well-meaningand competent persons have taken time trying to do away with this requirement, but were ignored also. Why is it that fairly large numbers of students can be pressured into taking a worthless course? Whydon't students who are interested in the subject avail themselves of better courses in the respectivedepartments, such as anthropology, where they can rely on instructors who are interested in bothimparting knowledge and in the learning process as well? Helga Mazur B.A. Foreign Lang./Lit. Theateris completion of library construction A new projection room is the only major area of the library a d d i t i o n p r o j e c t still uncompleted. Several sub-contractors have not completed work on carpeting andfurniture supply, but the general contractor, Cawdrey and Vemo, met; its estimated March 15.completion date for the main part of the construction. The furniture, which is s u p p l i e d by a separate contractor, may arrive as late as the end of May. It includes chairs, tables and study cubicles. Theprojection room is the last area to be completed by Cawdrey and Vemo. The basement room isdesigned for film projection and will be completely wired for high-fidelity sound. It is hoped the room willbe used to show films which are not directly connected with any class and are not of interest purely asentertainment, but which are still of interest to the Western community, according to Robert Lawyer,director of the library. The high-fidelity sound system could be used for noon concerts of records fromthe library and from the music library, Lawyer said. It Will also be used for classes when necessary, but its main purpose is to fill a gap in student services not met by classroom activity or in entertainmentprograms. WASHINGTON PaMc\)Mfy\)titm' ASSOCIATION amPOJ.FISCHEH,Pmkft* ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 11 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, April 11, 1972 Academic Council adopts proposa Freedom comes to Englishmajor by CAROLYN HILL The English major has shifted from a highly structured major to one allowingstudents more room for individual choice. Last Tuesday the Academic Council adopted a proposal fromthe English department which will liberalize the discipline. The only courses which are specificallyrequired for all English majors are English 301, 3 02 and 303 which are i n t r o d u c t i o n s tonarrative, dramatic and lyric literature at three credits each. The bachelor of arts degree candidate andthe bachelor of arts degree in secondary education candidate must take two courses in English literature from before 1800 and one course in American literature from before 1900 or three survey courses inBritish literature. The bachelor of arts degree in elementary education candidate must take threecourses in literature prior to the 20th Century. These historically-oriented courses are intended toacquaint the student with either British literature or with the historical method of treating literature. Mostof the English department faculty believe this structure gives the student a more accurate image of thediscipline than the present curriculum does. It presents a balanced picture of both courses in closereading and courses in the historical mode, they said. The faculty is hoping that the Trustees approve$48 tuition hike for 1972-3 Western's Board of Trustees approved higher tuition rates for the 1972-73academic year, although all members agreed that pinching the students wasn't the answer to solvingWestern's financial bind. The increases are for service and activities. Next year's fees for a resident full-time student (seven credit hours or. more) will total $495 for three quarters, up $48. Resident Graduatestudents will pay $555, up $48 also and Southeast Asia veterans will be charged $360. They aloneremain unaffected by the price-rise. Beginning non-resident undergraduates will pay the same next yearas they do now, $1,359. Continuing non-resident students will suffer a $426 raise in tuition next year,which will match the prices paid by new non-resident students.

Several members of the English department strongly opposed the new'program. T h e y argue that the department should point out s i g n i f i c a n t authors and importantapproaches with a list of requirements and options. They believe that structure and priorities arenecessary in a study of literature and that these are not spelled out in this major program. They alsovalue a study of change and think that this plan obscures the importance of central traditions in thestudy of literature by decreasing the number of historically oriented literature courses which arerequired. Previously an English major working for a bachelor of arts degree had to have either 24 creditsin supporting courses or 24 credits in a foreign language; that requirement has been removed. TheEnglish department believes that 24 credits in a foreign language is insufficient to give a real mastery ofthe language and that increasing the requirement was undesirable. The faculty considers otherdisciplines to be useful to an English scholar and therefore decided to allow 12 credits in outsidecourses and to omit the requirement that one of those courses be a 400-level course. Credit hourrequirements have shifted from 60 to 70 hours for the bachelor of arts major and from 45 to 55 hours forthe English major working for a bachelor of arts in secondary education. The faculty believes that theaddition of 10 hours is a minimal recognition of the diversity and broadness of the English discipline.Western needs to enlarge enrollment by MARY JO WHITE Western needs to expand its publicrelations efforts and a t t r a c t more students the Faculty Council was told last Thursday. RobertTeshera of the geography department reported that enrollment of freshman and transfer students andretention of students already enrolled "seems on the downgrade." The council received a written reportfrom Mike B a r n h a r t , administrative assistant to the College P r e s i d e n t , recommendingpromotional efforts be made throughout the state to acquaint outsiders with the students and faculty, aswell as to explain the problems that are unique to higher education like promotion and tenure,sabbaticals and faculty/student ratios. Barnhart's report further suggested ways of strengthening tiesbetween the college and the Bellingham community, such as i n c r e a s i n g the scope of c o n t i n u i n g studies and encouraging students and faculty to become more involved in service projects andcommunity politics. Barnhart will address the council on his recommendations at a future meeting. The council also heard a report from Don Ferris, chairman of the Committee on the Revision of the FacultyHandbook. Ferris said the committee will concentrate on editing the 1969 edition of the Food stampshandbook. On the subject of tenure annd promotion, Ferris said the committee will "update t h e h a n db o o k , make m o m e n t a r y , imperative decisions," but will not review the question in detail. Ferrissaid the big item involved is the variation amongst the colleges, although he noted a "preponderance ofagreement, rather than disagreement." "We're trying to see if it's possible to have a system, ofpromotion and tenure for all of Western, not one for Western, Fairhaven, Ethnic Studies and Huxley, toperpetuate the idea that we are one faculty," Ferris explained. In other actions, the council: â€”madenominations to the C o u n c i l of F a c u l ty Representatives (CFR) Ad Hoc Task Forces on Salaries,Retirement and Fringe Benefits, and Faculty Load. Once constituted, the task forces will be expected to complete their recommendations by May 1. â€” heard a report from P r e s i d e n t Flora, whichemphasized the need for efforts to reverse the trend of declining enrollment. â€”received a proposal fromChairman Loren Webb for a faculty forum for April 21 to discuss unionization with representatives of theNational Education Association, the American Association of University Professors and the C o u n c i l of F a c u l ty Representatives, among others. Relations requirement dropped by government A rulerequiring food-stamp recipients in a household to be related as a condition of eligibility was suspendedlast Friday. The rule was aimed at cutting hippie and other communal groups from the food program. Th e D e p a r t m e n t of Agriculture sent telegrams to state welfare agencies instructing them to"suspend immediately and until further notice" the requirement that household members must berelated. The instruction carried out a federal restraining order issued last Thursday against thedepartment. The order was the result of a low-income households. The suit challenged the rule ongrounds that it denies people their rights to freedom of association as contained in the 1st, 5th and 9thamendments; the right to privacy, as contained in the 9th amendment and the right to equal protection.The telegram said in part, "No household . . . shall be determined to be ineligible solely for the reasonthat one or more of the members of the household are not related to o t h e r members of thehousehold."

Students at Fairhaven have planned films and guests todeal-with different aspects of education today and with alternatives to the present system. But the mainemphasis of the conference will be determined by the people who attend. One room will serve as acenter for organizing activities. Anyone at the conference could schedule a discussion or activity byposting an explanation of his idea on the "rap room" bulletin board. The "rap room" will be decoratedwith paintings by Fairhaven students and younger children. It is intended to serve as the hub of theconference; to f a c i l i t a t e free, unrestricted exchange of ideas about education. Scheduledspeakers include William Lynch, a 19-year-old member of the Bremerton school board; Barbara Lane, a British Columbia educator in Indian education; Stan King, an architect and urban planner; and BerniceJohnson of the Shuksan middle school. "Summerhill," "Adventures of * (Asterisk)," "Tree House" and"Why Man Creates" are among the films to be shown during the weekend conference. The conference,which begins noon, Friday April 14 is asking a $3.50 registration fee. Students are not required to paythis, but are asked to contribute to pay film costs if possible. Bicycle races prelim, to amateur leaguerace Bicycle races open to the public will be held every Thursday evening for the next eight weeks jaccording to Steve Phillabaum of the Bellingham Wheelman bicycle club. The club is sponsoring theraces, which are free to members and cost 25 cents a race to non-members. Phillabaum said the series of 10 races, two of which have already taken place, are p r i m a r i l y being held as preparation for anAmateur B i c y c l e League (ABL) sanctioned race from Lake Samish to Alger on May 27. However,he stressed that $362,000 allocated to Western for salaries The State Office of Program Planning andFiscal Management notified Western that $362,000 has been allocated for faculty salary increases andstaff benefits. The money could mean a three per cent raise for faculty members and an increase inbenefits for the staff. The increases will go into effect September 1, 1972. Exactly how the money willbe distributed has not been determined. participation in the weekly races is in no way limited to persons intending to compete in the ABL race. "Anyone who just wants to come along for a leisurely bike rideis perfectly welcome," he said. This Thursday's race, which will be held at 5:30 p.m., will be a hill climbfrom College Parkway up Sehome Hill. Planned for subsequent weeks are a handicap race, a team race and a race around Lummi Peninsula. The two races already held were an 11-mile race from theFairhaven district to Larrabee State Park and back and a â€¢ 14-mile ride along Northshore Drive fromWhatcom Falls Park. Points are awarded to the top 30 placers in each race. When the series isfinished, the best five marks of each contestant will be totaled. Prizes will be awarded to the top 10cyclists. Further information on the races is available from Sheryl Phillabaum, resident director ofRidgeway Sigma, at 676-4100. Controls tightened on charter flights Will you be one of many studentswho might suddenly find yourself stranded in a foreign country with your vacation plans completelydisrupted this year? The Pacific Northwest chapter of the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA)says there is a chance students may unknowingly be a part of an unlawful charter flight. The CivilAeronautics Board (CAB) . is seeking to tighten enforcement regulations on charter flights. Crackdownand court action last year alone halted 23 illegal charter flights to Europe. When a charter flight doesnot abide by the CAB regulations, the flight is illegal. There are several types of charters includinginclusive tour charters, study group charters and affinity charters, those arranged by clubs or otherorganizations. A c c o r d i n g to CAB regulations for affinity charters, you must belong to a club(social, business, civic) or an organization for purposes other than travel and have been a member for atleast six months before the group travels. Charges for the charter must be a prorated amount of theactual cost of chartering the plane plus a reasonable operating cost for the organizer. ASTA says somewarning signs to the unsuspecting include early enrollment in a club by s k i r t i n g the six-monthrequirement through back dating of membership cards, failure to identify the chartered airline and afictitious organization. To be sure the charter is a legal one, ASTA recommends not making a deposit for any charter until its legitimacy has been thoroughly investigated. Calling the airline involved to confirmthe authenticity of the charter flight or contacting the CAB in Washington, D.C. are two ways to be sure.Another safeguard is to learn the facts about charters before signing up for one.

His appointment to the board, which serves Whatcom County, follows a national trend bySelective Service System Director Curtis Tarr to appoint young men to the boards. When a boardmember reached the age of retirement, he was asked to resign. Asmundson was nominated by Richard Marquardt, Washington State Selective Service Director, to fill the vacancy. The Bellingham native hasbeen active in community projects and worked in the State Senate. Although his draft status was 1Aand his lottery number was t h r e e , Asmundson wasn't drafted because no one was called from thisarea for the first three months of 1972. He was placed in second priority, which means he will only becalled up in case of national emergency. Asmundson's non-paying job c o n s i s t s of meeting for two-and-a-half hours monthly and keeping up on all the changes the Selective Service is going through. Hecompared his duty on the board to that of a judge; reviewing classifications and making decisions onpeople wanting to change their draft status. "The local board has been really good. It's important tokeep communication open between the community and the campus. Selective Servipe is interested inmeeting the needs of individuals, besides the needs of the country," Asmundson said. Asmundsonthinks that by 1973 the draft call will be zero. About seven men will be drafted in the next month,Asmundson thinks. "I believe Selective Service is necessary to our national security. When you leaveyour house, you lock the doors. One of the best ways to insure the security is to maintain a potentialarmy," he said. Asmundson is willing to meet with people on campus and inform them of the manychanges occurring in Selective Service, such as the move to grant draft dodgers amnesty as proposedby Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio. He hasn't served in the armed forces, as have his counterparts on theboard, but he doesn't t h i n k this will affect his judgment. "The fact that I haven't served won't keep mefrom giving a fair hearing," he said. "I want to be fair and honest." Nursery funds request referred tocommittee by O. K. JOHNSON The College Cooperative Nursery (CCN) budget request for $1200 wasreferred to the legislature budgetary committee after the AS legislature did not know how much moneywas in the contingency fund. The nursery, located in the bottom area of two Fair^aven dormitories,needs the additional funds to pay two full-time staff coordinators. The nursery expanded its facilities and can now handle twice as many children. The facilities are free and the money is needed only to pay thesalaries for the two needed coordinators. A problem arose when Darrell Petersen, legislator, asked if itwould be feasible to have four student coordinators working half-time instead. The CCN" representativesaid there would be a coordination problem. "Presently, 25 students are used as volunteers at thenursery, but the organizational problem among four students would be greater than among just twocoordinators," a nursery representative said. She also said that the conflict between school work and the nursery would be too great. One mother at the meeting said that "too many things can happen" andshe would not leave her children with an o r g a n i z a t i o n that was coordinated poorly. "I do not think that we have to fear the hiring of two coordinators," legislator Mike Cosper said. "If we are going to givethem the money and do it, then let's do it right," he said. The matter was then sent to committee onFriday. Last quarter, the nursery had more applications for children than they had floor space for. Thirtychildren were being handled in just the one operating nursery. The ages of the children in the. nurseryrange from six months to four and one half years. AS Vice-president Larry Diamond spoke nextclarifying that the articles appearing in all the major newspapers across the state saying the AS ofWestern supports Dan Evans for Governor during the coming election are not accurate. Diamond saidthat the letter AS President Sundquist sent along with other AS Presidents from other schools, reflected the opinion of only that individual person and not the general consensus of the students at Western."The intention was not to be misleading, it was just a minor mistake through no fault of Tod's," Diamondsaid. The letter that Sundquist sent was on Associated Students stationery, implying that the AS ofWestern s u p p o r t ed Sundquist's opinion. "This is not to reprimand Tod, just to clear up thesituation," Diamond said. Mark Asmundson receives his appointment to the local draft board from CurtisTarr, national selective service director. Photo by Rich Collingwood Tarr is draftboard's answer to youthtrend by RON GRAHAM The a p p o i n t m e n t of 2 1-year-old Western student M a r k A s m u n d so n to Bellingham's Local Selective Service Board 21 is part of a national trend to younger draft boardmembers, national Selective Service Director Curtis Tarr said Thursday. "We expect to see a lot moreyoung people appointed," Tarr said in an interview while in Bellingham. This trend was spurred by afederal law, effective in September, 1971, that forced the retirement of persons over 6 5 -y e a r s - o l d ,Tarr said. Asmundson was appointed to replace a board member who was over the 65-year-old agelimit. Tarr and Richard Marquardt, state director of the selective service system, participated in c e r e m o n i e s swearing in Asmundson and presenting service awards to local board secretary Robert Newlenand retiring clerk Emma Howem. In another appearance in Washington State Thursday Tarr said thatthere is "no question" that women will be drafted if the equal rights amendment is r a t i f i e d , the S e a t t le Post-Intelligencer reported Friday. The Seattle newspaper also reported that Tarr didn't considerthat drafting women "is a good idea." He indicated that women couldn't handle "tough combat jobs,"because "there are so many things they can't do physically." The question may be rendered academicby the summer of 1973 when the present selective service system runs out. It is possible that the draftmay become a relic of the past as an all-volunteer army takes over the nation's defense. Tarr endorsedthe system of random selection while . in Bellingham, pointing out that it allows young people to makelife plans with a short one-year vulnerability to the draft "at an early age." Residents soon to have paintbrush in hand The residence hall painting policy has been passed and as soon as the paint is chosen, it will be in action. The policy makes assurances to maintenance that its painters will not be laid off andthat Housing will "utilize the Physical Plant and its employees for painting the buildings insofar as it ispossible and practical for maintenance purposes." However this does not mean that the residents can'tpaint their own rooms. The resident must check with Housing to see if their painting schedules for therooms meet his approval. If not, he can then buy the paint. The only restriction is that the job must beokayed by Housing before he leaves his room or he has to pay to have it repainted. The policy alsoallows the resident to paint the public and semi-public areas of the dorms. This painting must be okayed by the hall or floor government, have environmental benefits and be approved by "an appropriatecommittee and/or expert." Also discussed at the Inter-Hall Council meeting last Thursday was theinstallation of cable TV in dorm rooms and the Saga food wagon. If the present negotiations work-out,cable TV will be installed during Summer quarter in the residence halls, Pete Coy, director of Housing,said. The cable will cost $l-a-month for each room and will be included in the room and board fee as thetelephones are. "The only way we could get it priced cheap enough so that it would be worth somethingto everyone was by putting it in every room," Coy said. At the end of this month a Saga-owned van willgo around to the dorms and Clayton Beach selling hot and cold foods, Coy said.- . . â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 11 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, April 11,1972 Western Front 7 Understaffed and overcrowded Tech department against wall byDAN BENCKENDORF The technology department is up against the wall with a lack of space and fundsand too many students waiting to take classes, according to Chairman Sam Porter. â€¢ The situation is so bad, Porter explained, that 50 per cent was the highest rate of accepted applicants for anytechnology course this quarter. Those accepted were juniors and seniors taking a sophomore levelclass, he said. P o r t e r describes the t e c h n o l o g y building as unexpandable. "For one thing, weare in a corner," he said. "We are up against a hill on one side and bounded by Miller Hall on the o t h e r . We have already overloaded the electrical system." Porter pointed out that the building was erectednearly 22 years ago to suit a need which then did not exist in comparison to what it is now. Originallyfive faculty members were equipped to teach 50 technology majors, Porter said. There are presently 400 majors taught by 13 faculty in the department, he said. "I could dig up 100 students in two weeks if wehad space for them," he said. However, this does not include those students who are not technologymajors but would like to take courses and cannot because of lack of space, Porter explained. Whentransfer â€¢ students inquire about the technology department, Porter said the â€¢department informsthem about the situation because turning them down would be unfair. Porter said that he would like t osee three-and-a-half more instructors and enough room to fill their immediate needs. Porter hopes thatthis situation will end soon as the tech department has lowered a previous bid for funds which will bepresented to the state legislature for a new building. City pound changes hands by MICHAEL HULLWith the City of Bellingham contracting with the local humane society to take over animal control, therehave been some changes in procedure. The two animal control officers, working out of the society's1760 W. Bakerview Rd. shelter, are "strictly on call for complaints and regular patrols of the city by theofficers is now extinct," Jack Brown, shelter operator, said. Anyone having animal problems must cometo the shelter and file a formal, written complaint before an officer will be dispatched to handle theproblem. The majority of those Brown has talked with over the phone are having a hard time acceptingthe fact that they must go out to the shelter, located outside the city limits near the Bellingham Airport,and file the complaint. The new system is helping keep the animal control work loads down because ifthere's a real problem then the people will sign the complaint and if not, the officers can continue onwith more stressing calls. State Humane Officer Ted Christie called the animal situation in Bellinghambad, simply because people will not control their animals as city ordinances say must be done. Christie pointed out that animals running at large have tendencies to join "packs" causing destruction of publicproperty and loss of life to other animals which become their prey. According to statistics, Christie saidthat on the average, there are two dogs for each family in Whatcom County. Above the operation ofanimal control the local chapter of the state humane society's main goal is to find suitable homes forotherwise homeless animals. Despite some bad rumors about the treatment of animals by animalcontrol officers in the country, Christie said that everything humanely possible to do with animals is done by the county's non-profit society. "It is too bad we cannot find a home for them all but it just does notwork out that way," he said. Anyone wanting information about the local society's operations can callthe shelter during the day at 733-2080. Emergency calls pertaining to injured animals or cruelty toanimals after shelter hours can be relayed to Christie or the other two state officers in the county bycalling the local police; 734-3133, Whatcom County Sheriff's Department; 734-1111 cr 354-2323 or byphoning the Washington State Patrol at 733-1600. Humane Society starts animal ID In the hopes ofidentifying and finding the owners of lost and injured animals, the Whatcom County Humane Societyhas started an operation identification program. For 50 cents, an animal owner can purchase a collar tag bearing a registered number. That number is recorded to the owner and is kept as a permanent recordfor aid in returning a lost animal to its owner. The tag is given free when a person gets an animal for adonation at the shelter. State Humane Officer Ted Christie said that the tag does not replace the city'sdog license provision and the identification program is a public service of the county humane society.According to Bellingham ordinances, any animal over three months old is required to be licensed. Theidentification tags can be obtained from the humane society operated shelter at 1760 W. Bakerview Rd.,next to the Bellingham Airport. Sam Porter "It would be ridiculous to open a building and leave no roomfor growth," he said. "With this space, we could offer t h e tech programs that Washington needs." "Wedon't want to build an empire," Porter said. "We want to grow to accommodate the student demand, and we would like to have a status much like that of a satellite college." But even with all the restraints thedepartment has to work under, Porter views his department as advanced. T h e small b u i l d i ngaccommodates such courses as metals, woods, design, plastics, visual aids and photography (black/white and color). Some of the equipment in the metal shop was given to the school by the government.The shop has a gear-making machine which now sits idle because there is no money to fund its tooling. There are also lathes, some power grinders and various other associated equipment nestled so closetogether that an accident could involve more than one operator. If a drill should snap loose or break, noprotection is provided for people standing near the machine, because there is no room for shielding. Out of 38 applicants for one metal shop class, only 19 were accepted, Jerry Usher, a senior tech majorsaid. The color photography course, which is in the same room as the black/ white class, had 36 out of48 applicants denied a spot in the class. Also, only 20 of the 104 applicants for the b/w course wereallowed in. The power mechanics room houses 20 chairs, 20 students, one car stall (no hoist), 10 setsof tools, one auto diagnoser, an engine and the urban car, a s u g g e s t i o n for future transportation. " T h e largest factor hampering the power shop is the fact that the students have to vie for shop timeinstead of having it readily available," Michael R. Seal of the tech faculty said. The design program issettled into the basement of Miller Hall. The ceiling of the room is spaghettied with water and heatingpiping. The walls are constructed of concrete blocks. The room is a vacated storeroom in which theinterior of the urban car was built, along with other projects. All tech majors are supposed to takedesign, and this quarter only 26 out of 46 who applied succeeded. June study may decide SouthB'ham's future The fate of the Fairhaven district in south Bellingham could lay in the outcome of aplanning study of that area scheduled to get underway in June. The study is long overdue because inpast years there has been no interest in the area's development, according to City Planner EuniceWolfe. At the prodding of the newly formed Fairhaven Association of businessmen and interestedpersons the study will delve into f o u r b a s i c a r e a s . A transportation plan, land use plan, financialplan and an environmental impact study will be turned over to the Bellingham City Council in a writtenproposal form for possible action. Miss Wolfe said that the results of the study, to be made by a localarchitect, could take more than eight months for completion and the cost could run to about $6,000.The city's planning and engineering budgets are without money to support the study in any other waythan to give spare time but Miss Wolfe said she hoped the city water board, Port of Bellingham andother large land owners in the Fairhaven area would help absorb the cost.

Food and flowers for the feast will be flown indirectly from Hawaii the day before the event, according to Georgia Wieght, one of the programcoordinators. A turnout of 350 persons f r om all over Western Washington is expected. "Last year wehad only planned on serving 250 people," Weight said, "but over 300 showed up." Tickets for the luaumay be purchased from any member of the Hui O Hawaii Club-tions could have a great bearing on"where the Fairhaven district is going and how it is going to get there,'" Miss Wolfe told a group from theFairhaven Association headed by Jerry Burns who was a candidate for mayor of Bellingham in the lastelection. The association, in its proposed charter, intends to make every effort to "preserve the uniquehistorical significance of the Fairhaven area." With the Port of Bellingham Michigan considers drug inforewards planning a new terminal for freighters in the area, the city getting ready for construction of anew sewage treatment plant next to the port's property, United Boat Builders, Inc., already being well-established in the district plus the coming of a truck route somewhere into the south-side, theassociation of Fairhaven people are trying to make haste in getting their proposals off the drawing boardand heard by the right people. LANSING, Mich. UPI-The Michigan Senate has created a specialcommittee to study the feasibility of offering $500 to $1,000 rewards for turning in drug pushers to police. "Extensive studies of the drug problem reveal that the most important link between the user and thedealer in illicit drugs is the pusher," a senate resolution said. "The drug pusher not only sells narcoticsto the addicted, but children are exposed to the drug pusher at an early age." People like Ken Ritchie.Wire editor.

Brock says Computerdrafts council members LOS ANGELES UPI-Sen. William Brock of Tennessee, chairman of the "Young Voters for the President Committee," predicted Saturday that voters in the 18 to 24 age group will be a"major factor and a positive one" in re-electing President Nixon next November. "I think they willconstitute a good part of his majority. I expect the President to have. their support," Brock, who was inthe Los Angeles area to launch the Young Voters for the President drive in California, said. He said in atelephone interview, "This is indicated by every possible response we get, in New Hampshire andFlorida, for example. In 47 mock elections on college campuses the President carried 46 of them. I nany f a c e - t o - f a ce confrontations with Democratic candidates in those mock elections, he wonevery one. "I think this is a fair evaluation of the response to his peace initiative and what he has offeredto this generation in world understanding and peace," Brock said. Brock said it was too early to tellwhether the current Communist offensives in South Vietnam would "re-fuse" the war issue after theNovember presidential campaign. "It depends on how severe or how extended the Communist offensiveis. It is possible it could re-fuse the Vietnam issue, depending on the duration, the severity and theability of the South Vietnamese to defend themselves. It could have that effect if it continues into thesummer. But I don't say that this would be necessarily negative for the President. Possibly it could bepositive. "If the duration is limited, or if the South Vietnamese bounce back, it could prove thatVietnamization is working," Brock said. Brock said at this point, "I do not anticipate that the ITT(International Telephone and Telegraph) antitrust case will be a significant issue in November." He saidthe "most important unresolved issue in the campaign at this point is the economy. That is going to bethe fundamental question for all the people. And since it is unresolved at this point, it will be a matter ofpolitical debate. But I think the economy is going to be very strong this year and very positive in behalf of the President." California officials frown on public skinny dipping SANTA BARBARA UPI SantaBarbara County authorities complaining that naked folk by the hundreds are overrunning a local beach,have launched a crackdown.

Hundreds of people "from all over the state have been congregating at SummerlandBeach" said District Attorney David Minier Wednesday. "Santa Barbara has become s o m e w h a t theSouthern California mecca for nude bathers" Minier said. Last year "the situation got completely out ofhand," and so authorities decided this year to launch the crackdown early in the spring "before we werefaced with an almost impossible situation with several hundred, or thousands of nude bathers on thebeach," the district attorney said. It looks as if computers won't be satisfied with just keeping track ofpeople and sending them their bills. Now, they're looking for people to "get involved." Membership for the newly formed College Services Council, a p o l i c y - m a k i n g budget committee, which deals withcollege supplied student services such as the health center and the counseling center, was recruitedpartially by computer at the end of last quarter. L a r r y D i a m o n d , AS vice-president, said that 25students' names were picked at random by a computer. Of these 25, eight were available to serve andfive were finally chosen. Diamond cited several reasons for this method of recruitment: It is hard to findpeople to. serve on committees by simply asking them or putting notices in the daily bulletins. "Student government tends to become inbred. You always get the same students and the same point of view."People contacted in this manner "tend to serve better than those asked by personal favoritism." It is away to get more people involved. The students chosen to serve on the committee, which will be underthe All-College Senate, are Barbara Ann Abe, Louray Barham, Richard Boyes, Juliane Nelson andDianiele Evers. "These people seem to be really enthused," Diamond said. Other members of thecommittee, not chosen by computer, are Kay Burke, Viking Union Director; Louis Lallas, placementdirector; Ken Symes, English department; and D o n a l d Eklund, history department. Radio showneeds students The producers of Western '72, a six-minute news program put together by students inbroadcasting, are soliciting campus involvement in their project.

"Finally, there are enough tutors to meet the demand" S t e v e Levine, t u t o r i al administrator, said. Tutors work on a one-to-one relationship with the pupils. Their goal is to fulfill the needs of the students and to provide them with a better outlook. These kids are expected not tosucceed," Levine said. "They talk about dropping out of school in the eighth grade."

Eastern routs Vik thinclads Eastern walkedby Western's track team 98-47, in a dual meet run Saturday in miserable weather at Cheney. CoachDick Bowman called the bad weather which included rain, wind and snow, "the worst I've ever gotteninto." Garnering only four first places, Western's best showing was a sweep in the 440-yd. intermediatehurdles where Mike Vorce took first in 56.2 followed by Ken Johnson and Dan Anderson. The other firstspots were taken by Johnson in the high hurdles, Cecil Simms in the long jump, and Dick Henrie in thepole vault. The meet was a complete turnabout from the 102%-38Vfc drubbing Western gave Easternlast year. The Savages, coming back from that meet, smarting from losses to the Vikings this year infootball and basketball, were described by Bowman as the "highest" team he had ever seen. MikeHopley who is also on Eastern's basketball team chucked his javelin 183-feet-10, 12 feet farther thanWestern's Leroy Day's second place toss.

Intheir first two matches, the Oregon Invitational and the Seattle University Invitational, the Viking golfersdowned Simon Fraser, University of Puget Sound, Gonzaga and Whitman.

The football team won the Evergreen Conference crown with a 6-0 leaguemark, the cross country runners placed well and the basketball team won the Evco and District I titlesand made a fine showing in the national tournament. It all seemed too good to be true and it was asthough something had to give somewhere, rather quickly. This weekend it gave with a snap similar to aslingshot which backfired. The Viking baseball and- track teams both journeyed to the forbidden land ofthe Inland Empire and returned thoroughly vanquished. The Vik nine lost three games in as manyattempts and the cindermen lost in what must have seemed like a cyclone, but was actually a 9 8 4 7track disaster. . Western^ tennis team also lost its first two meets, and the crew failed to win a singlerace in the Seattle University Regatta. Of course, the fact that the University of Washington, last year'sWest Coast champs, were also in the meet and Western came in second to the Huskies helped brighten the situation. The Eastern affairs must have appeared to the Big Blue about as exciting as Jack Webbscenario. Western's mittmen traveled to Cheney with visions of a league championship in their mindsafter defeating Oregon College of Education, the predicted Evco winner. After being drubbed 8-2 Friday,the two teams sought greener pastures and bluer skies by playing Saturday's doubleheader in MosesLake. The move didn't improve the situation at all as Larry Vance's troops lost both games, 4-0 and 2-1.Western now drops from a 1-0 Evco mark and title contenders to 1 -3 and probably also-rans unlessthings pick up fast. This weekend Central visits Bellingham for three games which may decide Western'sdiamond outcome for the year. The Wildcats are the defending Evergreen champs. Coach DickBowman's thinclads thought things would be a little closer than the thumping the Savages gave them.Last year Eastern came to Bellingham and had nothing except three great distance runners and a longjumper. Eastern left that meet on the short end of a 1021/Â£-381 /4 score, which may have had as much to do with Saturday's rout as the freezing Cheney wind. In fact, this whole year may have gotten theSavages a little fed up with Western, and they took it out on the Viks this weekend. Eastern's footballsquad was touting championship hopes and a 3-1 league mark when it came to Bellingham last fall.Western turned what was supposed to be a tight game into a rout, winning 50-7. The Vik cagers did thesame, rebounding off a 71 -60 playoff loss in Cheney to win two games in Carver Gym, 78-75 and 74-68,to win the district and the trip to Kansas City. It must have grated on the Savages' nerves just a might,and Eastern returned the favors with this weekend's wallopings. What was that about turning the othercheek? Crew finishes second to Huskies in Seattle Western's crew team met with mixed success atthe University of Washington r e g a t t a , on Seattle's Lake Washington, Saturday. In the feature racefor the heavyweight eights, Western finished second in a three shell field. The nationally rankedWashington Huskies won the 2,000-meter race in a slow time of 6.48. Coach Bob Diehl's junior varsitysquad finished second in the lightweight jayvee race behind the UW, who won in the time of 7:07. In thevarsity lightweights, Western's entry finished last in a four shell field, with a time of 7:04. The race waswon by the University of Washington in the time of 6:51. Six schools sent teams to the regatta.Washington hosted Western, Oregon State, the University of Puget Sound, Seattle University and theUniversity of British Columbia. The University of Oregon withdrew from the competition. Washingtonstroked to victory in all four of the races on the choppy wind swept lake. Oregon, who was supposed toprovide a stern test for the Washington heavyweights withdrew in protest because their coxswain wasineligible for competition. The Oregon coxswain, Vicki Brown was declared ineligible because she isfemale. The West Coast Intercollegiate Crew Coaches Association prohibits female competitors. Animportant regatta for Western's crew will take place this weekend. The Viks will host Pacific Lutheran,the University of Puget Sound, Seattle University and the University of Washington at Lake Samish,beginning at 10 a.m. Cold weather brought cold Western bats as the Viking baseball team dropped three straight contests to Eastern Washington this weekend, which could prove fatal in the Viks' EvergreenConference pennant hopes. Western lost to the Savages in Cheney Friday, 8-2, and followed with adoubleheader loss Saturday in Moses Lake, where the games were moved because of bad weather, byscores of 4-0 and 2-1. The Viks' record is now 4-3, 1 -3 in Evco play. Western scored first Friday, withDave Bobillot single scoring John Schuster in the third inning after Schuster walked and was advancedon a Don Balke sacrifice. The 1-0 lead was short-lived, however, as Eastern scored three runs in thebottom of the third to take the lead for good. Eastern scored on hits by Randy Kramer, John Godfrey,Ken Conlin and Dan Provo. An error by Western's Wayne Martin and a passed ball by Vik catcher MikeWheat also proved significant in Savage scoring. The Cheneyites scored a single tally in the fourth afterBalke beaned Ken Buckley and the. Eastern catcher scored on Conlin's single. Another lone run scoredin the fifth as Steve Blake singled, stole second and scored on a wild pitch, giving Eastern a 5-1 lead.The Vikings' second run came in the seventh when Jim Mancuso scored after getting a basehit andbeing knocked in by Wheat. The Savages answered with three runs in the eighth, though, to put it out of reach. A Jim DeLong double highlighted the Eastern outburst. Balke suffered his first loss of the year,against two wins, while striking out seven. The senior pitcher has an earned run average of 1.06.Saturday's twin-bill was moved to Moses Lake because of wind and rain. Friday's game was played in 36 degree weather. Eastern broke the scoring draught in the third when Buckley singled, stole second and scored on a DeLong hit. Eastern cinched the first game win with three sixth inning scores, as twoViking errors and hits by DeLong and Jim Freeman did the damage. Western's biggest threat came inthe seventh and final frame as Bruce Maupin singled and advanced to third on a Savage error andfielder's choice.

College President Charles J. Flora told the Faculty Council Jan. 13 he had done his best to persuade the legislators to give agenerous pay raise, but he is extremely unhappy with the results. The Council on Higher Educationconsidered Flora's recommendation of a ten per cent raise and noted that college and university facultywould need a ten per cent salary increase to meet the 1969-70 cost of living increase. They alsoconsidered a report that predicted average salaries in Washington State, institutions will be 15 per centbelow those of seven other states by next year. T h e c o u n c i l then recommended only a 5.5 percent increase in faculty salaries. The council's wording was for a raise from zero to 5.5 per cent. Florasaid he tried unsuccessfully to change the wording to "not less than 5.5 percent." Flora told the Faculty Council that he believed the Council on Higher Education made a fundamental error in attempting-to dothe work of the state. "I believe the council should have put forward (a proposal) that it believed to beconsistent with its data and consistent with the urgency of the problem, and not attempt to resolve forthe legislature how much money it had available," he said. A few nights later, Gov. Daniel Evans gavehis budget message which indicated a three per cent across-the-board faculty s a l a r y increase washis recommendation. "This would include the amount that would have to come out for retirement, social security and whatever else," Flora said. Mike Barnhart, assistant to President Flora, told the FacultyCouncil there is already disagreement in Olympia about whether there is enough revenue for even a three per cent increase. According to Barnhart, some members of the house are saying the increase will beapplied only to salaries up to $10,000 and some senators, primarily Senator Dorr, are suggesting$15,000 for the ceiling. Walter C. Howe Jr., director of the state's office of program and fiscalmanagement, wrote to AS President Tod Sundquist advising him that asking for salary increases largerthan the governor's recommendation " c r e a t e s the danger that instructional programs would have tobe cut back at a later point in time, should revenue not meet those expectations." Sundquist has beenlobbying in Olympia for faculty salary increases along with Larry Diamond, AS vice-president; StanCuykendall, academic coordinator; Rich Collingwood, intra-departmental coordinator; Craig Cole,housing and employment commissioner; and Rich Hass, AS business manager. Letters may be mailedto parents of every Western student informing them of the need for faculty and staff salary increasesand requesting them to take any action they think is appropriate. Last quarter Sundquist urged ASLegislators to participate in faculty salary increase activities, but received no response. A petitioncampaign last quarter which was aimed at collecting at least 5,000 student signatures for presentationto the state legislature only reached 1,000. A report from the Council on Higher Education showsWashington's college and university faculty salaries are 10.1 per cent below the averages of seven otherstates and will probably drop to 15 per cent below by 1973. The r e p o r t compares Washington'sinstitutions with those of California, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and Wisconsin.Tenure and promotion practices as well as faculty cutbacks due to the economic p r e d i c a m e n tmay affect professors' choices in leaving Western. The decline of Western's faculty salary position inrelation to that of other institutions inside and outside Washington is such that our better educatorssometimes find it attractive, indeed necessary, to seek employment at higher paying colleges anduniversities. For example, an associate professor of geography with a Ph.D. recently resigned hisposition at Western to accept f u l l p r o f e s s o r s h i p and chairmanship of a department in Albertaat a 50 per cent increase in salary. An assistant professor in general speech with a Ph.D. and over fouryears at Western was earning $9,539 when he resigned t o accept an associate professorship at $4,000 per a n n u m more at Pacific University in Oregon. The task of attracting new faculty to Western hasalso become difficult. Recently a new applicant wtih a Ph.D. in speech pathology and audiology fromthe University of Washington was offered $11,500 by Western but accepted $16,000 at the University ofCincinnati. Western had an opening for a Ph.D. position in school psychology and counseling. Ninepersons applied, three of whom were qualified. Western offered $11,000 for this position to an applicantfrom the University of Utah. Instead she accepted a $14,000 position at one of California's state colleges. The position was then offered to a second applicant who refused it in favor of a $17,500 offer fromArizona State. The third applicant also refused Western's offer for a $17,^00 position elsewhere.Washington community college faculty, Bellingham s c h o o l district teachers, comparable state andfederal employees, electricians and dump truck drivers have seen their salaries increase far morefrequently and substantially during the past five years than have Western's faculty. Sixty-five per cent ofWestern's faculty have Ph.D.'s, but the average salary is only $12,582 including fringe .benefits. W e s t e r n may find it increasingly difficult to compete with other colleges and keep its present faculty happyif salaries are not improved. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 25 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, January 25, 1972 Front Editorials on the liome front by steve Johnston Fridaynight at the gallows If you didn't read the lead editorial on the problem of capital punishment in lastFriday's Bellingham Herald you missed an incredible bit of prose. "Taking a person's life almost has to be accepted as 'cruel' simply by definition of the word. And execution of criminals has become more andmore 'unusual' in recent years. "But is the death penalty 'cruel and unusual punishment' in theconstitutional sense? ". . . execution for capital crimes clearly has not been regarded in our tradition ofjurisprudence as contrary to the intent of the constitution." Astounding logic! Apparently someone at theHerald has reached the tentative conclusion that taking the lives of a few hundred thousand slopes,gooks, and slant-eyes in Southeast Asia is almost cruel. But we must not digress into consideration ofthe fate of inferior races. If we apply the philosophy of 1791 to today's world, it would still be legal to ownslaves, women would not be allowed to vote and senators would not be elected by the people. Times they are a changin'. Do we still want to kill people in a republic that has liberty and justice for all? How manywealthy murderers have we executed in the past 50 years? What penalty was given James Earl Ray?What penalty was given the murderer of Medgar Evers? These" inconsistencies 'in our tradition ofjurisprudence' bother us just a bit. If we can't be fair to everybody, have no fair at all. Let's limit capitalpunishment to cases of treason (as defined in the U.S. Constitution), genocide, and the killing of lawenforcement officers in the performance of their duties. Before you go onto the rest of today's paper therewere a few other interesting lines in the Herald editorial that we would like to bring to your attention."Does society really have an obligation to house and feed and guard the Tate-LaBianca killers? Could orshould it attempt to rehabilitate persons who choose deliberately to* slaughter human beings on a massbasis?" Yes, we do have that obligation. Let's put the members of the Manson family on display. Let'stake them from town to town as an exhibit to show the good citizens of the United States of America what happens to people who "deliberately slaughter human beings on a mass basis," and in our travelinghorror show let's find a place for Lt. Calley, too. In the fourth paragraph there were these questions:"Suppose conspirators actually succeed in poisoning a public water supply causing death to vastnumbers of men, women and children? Is a sympathetic, understanding attitude toward such personsappropriate?" Yes, we should have a sympathetic, understanding attitude toward poisoners of publicwater supplies. We should allow them several years to devise adequate pollution control methods toremove mercury, sulphite liquor, petroleum by-products, fluoride and other poisons from the effluent theydischarge. In the final paragraph the unnamed editor allows: "Maybe some juries in some states havesent individuals to Death Row too casually." This apparently alludes to the fact that in certain statesBlacks are executed for raping a White, but Whites are not executed for raping a Black. (Clearly a case of not calling a spade a spade.) In view of the Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court might not rule capital punishment unconstitutional. If we must have executions, let's have them during prime time and not atmidnight or dawn. Let's televise them, so the sick segment of our society can view their vengeance in fullliving color. â€”Ken Ritchie Taste of Hot Smut WESTERN FRONT STAFF EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: JackieLawson MANAGING EDITOR: Ken Ritchie ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Jon Walker COPY EDITOR: HowardScott STAFF REPORTERS ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Jay Eckert SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Jim Thomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Ron Graham EXCHANGE EDITOR: BobMcLauchlan James Heitzman, Pam Hicks, Carolyn Hill, Debbie Hudson, Michael HUM, U .

Stannard Jr. The Western Front is the official newspaper of Western Washington StateCollege. Editorial opinions are those of the Tribune. NEWSROOM: 676-3161 â€¢ ADVERTISINGPHONE: 676-3160 My experience with stag movies is rather limited and dates back to my formativeyears in Everett when it used to be a post-pubescent rite to down a six-pack of Oly with a couple offriends and then head for Seattle's First Avenue in a black '49 Ford coupe. " The beer was supplied bysome hapless wino for four bits above cost and it was a period of innocence when we could get mellowon a couple of 12-ouncers apiece. After removing the labels on the Olys and checking out the number ofdots on the backâ€”sometimes someone would find a four-dotter and gloat over it for daysâ€”theproposition would always come up: "Let's go down to the Ave and take in a couple of stag flicks."Actually the "stag flicks" were not films in the true sense of the word, they were kinetoscope-type pictures shown in a big warehouse, but it was pretty risque business all the same. It was no problem gettinginside as the manager was always busy hustling out drunks and wasn't around much to see who filteredin and out of his establishment, so we just turned our collars up and filed in. Various kinetoscopes linedthe walls and at the end were large booths with the real hot stuff. But the hardcore booths cost a quarterand we were limited to paper route money and allowances, so we plowed our nickels and dimes into thekinetoscopes. All the kinetoscopes were about the same: some woman prancing around in black panties and bra with an occasional shot of her licking her lips and closing her eyes. After a while we would runout of money or get bored and finally go home. The post-pubescent rite only lasted a few months andpretty soon the owner of the black '49 Ford starting going out with a girl and shunned his stag moviebuddies. So when my editor suggested taking in a stag movie in Blaine and writing a review on it, I figured why not? A little sex never hurt anyone. It was snowing on that Tuesday night and hard to drive, but 45white, middle-class, middle-aged men showed up. They looked just like the same men who used to grope through the dark warehouses down in Seattle. "A Taste of Hot Lead" was the first film. The plot wasrather simple: two jewel thieves escaping with their loot run into a house which is decorated like the Paris sewers. There they meet two lesbians, one of whom turns out to hold altruistic feelings toward thegentlemen intruders. Later two other women drop by, one is also a lesbian and the other is a masochist.Just everyday people. Finally, one of the men, Carl, is shot after tying one of the lesbians to a bed andraping her. Carl is the heavy in the movie and deserves to be shot, but he shoots the lesbianâ€”the onewho was tied to the bed and raped-before expiring. Carl also beats one girl with a whip, but she enjoyed it so Carl can be forgiven. During the movie Carl quizzes the audience with questions like "Boy, ain't she adizzy broad?" The questions remained unanswered, but i'm sure a woman libber could have thought ofsomething to say. The second feature, "Dark Dreams," started out with an old woman who looked likesomeone's grandmother, stirring a big pot of water and dry ice. She was supposed to be a witch. Sheexplained to the attentive audience that witchcraft had been around for over 3,000 years and there weregood witches and bad witches, and there was white magic and black magic. So ended the film'seducational qualities and it got on to sex. The plot was a little more complex in "Dark Dreams" than "HotLead." A newly wed couple has a flat tire in front of a big old house. They go up to use the phone and who should answer but grandma witch. After much fooling around in the kitchen, grandma witch whips up apot of tea. In order to keep the film chugging along, the newly weds drink the tea and freak out. Thehusband goes upstairs where he has various encounters with various women. Meanwhile, the wife iscarried away by a weirdo in a cape. Who the caped weirdo is is never explained, but he does haveserious problems. Anyway, while the weirdo and the wife are running around the house, the husbandbecomes unfreaked and goes downstairs. Grandma witch asks if he is having a good time, and hasanother shot of tea. The husband goes back upstairs to start all over again. But while the husband wasdownstairs, grandma witch says she just can't figure out why his wife isn't enjoying herself. The cameraflashes back upstairs where the wife is wrapped in wet sheets and being drooled on by the weirdo, abald-headed man and a couple of other strange folk. A classic moment in the film. Then the film endswith the couple walking up to the house .and the wife saying, "It sure is spooky. I wonder if a witch liveshere?" The whole thing was just a dark dream. Pretty heavy. Looking back on it, I realize I couldn't write a review. Who would . believe it? . ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 25 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 25, 1972 Western Front Letters: Ms. for women Editor, The Western Front: I amwriting in regard to your policy of personal address in the newspaper. I have noticed that you refer to allwomen as either Mrs. or Miss. I cannot understand this policy. If you deem it so important to be awareof an individual's marital status, I suggest you refer to men as either M. or S.; married and single. Withthat change I too can know which men are available, already hooked, etc., and act accordingly. I alsocan judge whatever they say or do in those terms. If you are not willing to make such a change, I thinkit only fair that you refer to all women as Ms. Ms. RoxannePark Fairhaven College Bolin rebukedEditor, The Western Front: "Preposterous" was a word used in a letter by Eugene N. Bolin Jr. printedlast Friday concerning Mr. Elliott's claims about shoplifting. I, too, have a wordâ€”a word which I believedescriptive of Mr. Bolin's letter, "ignorance." To the first claim: "the bookstore goes beyond anyconventional means of assuring themselves against a 'rip-off by insisting that all customers entering thebookstore deposit their briefcases, [etc] located just inside the entrance." Mr. Bolin goes on to implythat students are "ripped off" from the depository. Has Mr. Bolin ever lost anything from the depository?Perhaps not, because had he lost an article from there and reported it to the management, the storewould replace the article at no cost to him. Claim number 2: " . . . t he bookstore is in even more danger of inadequate management and bookkeeping if they can't even calculate their losses within $ 1 0 , 0 00 . " Each year, the bookstore hires an independent Certified Public Accountant to take an audit of thefinancial books of the store. This independent CPA calculated the inventory shrinkage to exactly $32,487.94. Not only, Mr. Bolin, did you imply certain things about the management but also these sameimplications wer e made against the accountantâ€”a man who passed a very rigorous andcomprehensive exam. Claim number 3: "Our sly friend, the bookstore is about to pull the very last rugout from under our feet." Oh come now. You missed the point entirely. The point is: Shoplifting is on the increase throughout this country and the bookstore on our campus is no exception. If Mr. Elliott wereabout to pull the rug out from under usâ€”why has he cut salary expenses? Why has he arranged for the drug supplier to supply the store at prices now competitive with Valu-Mart? Why has he arranged tohave an independent book buyer to buy every book a student brings in for the most money available forthat book? As to the calculations you have made, I, too, have made some. There are approximately10,000 students at Western. If each one of these students were to lift only $3 in merchandise: result-losses of $30,000. Many students have been heard to have said, "I have never purchased a book yet. I've stolen them.and never been caught." Another calculationâ€”if the average student's books cost $100 ayear, only 300 average students would need to steal "their" books to have a $30,000 loss. 300 out of10,000 (or 3 out of every 100)â€”not so very many to get past the registers during rush weekâ€”do youthink? Yes, I think ignorance describes the letter printed in Friday's Front. Obviously Mr. Bolin didn'tbother to stop in and look at the books available to each of us to see. Obviously, he, too, had noknowledge as to the sophisticated and refined methods of accounting used by businesses. The point ofmy letter is this: Please students and faculty, before making claims about the store, investigate them totheir fullest extent. Perhaps things, won't seem so dismal then. Hastily jumping to conclusions will, inmy opinion, be the greatest downfall of mankind. Joe Christopher Accounting Defends co-op Editor;The Western Front: In response to Eugene Bolin Jr.'s letter to the editor, I must demonstrate hisignorance of bookstore operations. 1) Mr. Bolin charges that George Elliott's $30,000 annual loss as aresult of shoplifting is grossly unrealistic. A trip to the bookstore office would have allowed Mr. Bolinaccess to bookstore figures of losses for the 1970-71 fiscal year, totalling $32,487.94. Mr. Elliott admits that this figure may not be the exact figure for stolen goods. Possible employee errors such as notrecording mark downs on sale items or supplies used by the store or mispricing of merchandise wouldaffect that total. I think it's to Mr. Elliott's credit that he didn't exaggerate the total of shoplifting loss byallowing as much as $10,000 for possible employee errors. I, however, don't believe that the store'semployees.make $10,000 worth of mistakes. 2) Mr. Bolin believes that requiring students to deposittheir belongings in box-shelves (non-students are expected to do likewise) is done so at the student'sexpense if his or her belongings are stolen. The bookstore has compensated for or replaced customer'sstolen articles when the theft was reported, and will continue to do so. It is unfortunate that thebookstore can't replace some priceless belongings or a quarter's notes. 3) Mr. Elliott did not claim thatthe Bookstore, suffered between $30,000 and $40,000 as Mr. Bolin stated. Mr. Elliott quoted between$20,000 and $30,000. 4) Mr. Bolin comically attempted to realize what stealing $30,000 of merchandise r e q u i r e d . A l t h o u gh unintentionally, he aroused in me an image of a Mafia heist, not anUnrehearsed, unplanned, and impulsive act that shoplifting usually is. One'item may be continuallystolen. O b v i o u s l y , this doesn't guarantee rip offs of other items. Shoplifters have different tastes,desires, and impulses. They, therefore, ripp off different items with different value. Varying, yet continualrip offs are expensive, as the figures Aid deadline is near Students desiring financial assistance for the1972-73 academic year should submit applications to the Financial Aids Office by Feb 15, DickCoward, director of student financial aids, said. The sign-up deadline applies to all awards, grants, loansand scholarships handled by Western. " I can't over-stress the importance of having students sign up as soon as possible," Coward said. The backbone of Western's financial aid program consists of thefederally-funded National Defense Student Loan (NDSL), College Work-Study Program a n d the E d u ca t i o n al Opportunity Grants (EOG). The only major non-federal aid program at Western is theinstitutional scholarships, which are made in two categories: Academic Scholarships and Special Ability Awards. A limited number of restricted scholarships are also available. To qualify for any of thecategories a student must be able to demonstrate financial need. Repayment of the NDSL, whichrepresents half of the federally allocated funds, is not due until nine months after the student ends hisstudies and may be deferred longer for service in the Armed Forces, with the Peace Corps or as aVISTA volunteer. The average loan is $600 but size depends on financial eligibility and on fundsavailable. Students, particularly those from low-income families, who need a job to help pay for schoolexpenses are potentially eligible for employment under the work-study program. T h o s e s t u d e n t swho demonstrate exceptional need may qualify for an EOG which range from $200 to $1,000, and areconsidered as "gift aid;" repayment is not required. The Academic Scholarships are granted to needystudents in recognition of high academic achievement based upon their GPA. The scholarships, whichnumber between 45 to 50 per year, vary in amounts from $100 to $300. The average grade point forrecipients for this school year was 3.6. The Special Ability Awards are given to students nominated bythe art, a t h l e t i c s, speech-drama and music departments for outstanding performance. The awardsusually number between 35 to 40 for the academic year and vary from $100 to $300. The availablemonies have been decreasing by having less appropriated funds and a larger student body, Coward said. "It's extremely important that applications are submitted early," Coward said. D e t a i l e d information, application forms and counseling are available in the Financial Aids Office. g i v e n by Mr. E l l i o ttdemonstrates. We are fortunate that we did not lose over $100,000 to shoplifting as did the University ofWashington last year. 5) The bookstore "is not about to pull the' very last rug out from under our feet,"as Mr. Bolin asserts. Mr. Elliott does not wish to end the rebate, nor does he consider the studentunworthy of it. Mr. Elliott worked diligently and effectively to institute the rebate system, to establish thecheapest possible prices for all merchandise by seeking other wholesalers who sell merchandise thatthe Bookstore currently stocks, and to give the highest possible price for used books. (The bookstoregives 10 per cent more for buy back than the U. of Washington) I don't consider this action insensitive tostudents or the action of a manager with designs on economic despotism.

Enrollment this quarter is 9,187, compared to 9,167 for Winter quarter last year, but is 6.8 percent lower than Fall quarter 1971. Winter quarter enrollment is usually five per cent below Fall quarter.President Flora said that a larger percentage was expected this quarter due to the number of studentswho totally withdrew from college during Fall quarter, and the advance registration figures. This cannotbe explained by any one reason, Flora said. "These are uncertain times, and it is difficult to make ananalysis that is meaningful. Of those students who voluntarily terminated their enrollment during the fallterm, twoTthirds gave financial, medical or personal problems as their reason for leaving. It is probablethat these same reasons could be extended to the students who completed the Fall quarter, but did notreturn for winter term," Flora added. Those students who remained in Fall quarter did well.as far asgrades go. Of the 36,275 grades given out, nearly 60 per cent, 20,740, were either A's or B's.

"Since it was a protest against prices, it didn't matterwhere we bought the coffee. T h e r e f o r e , we are not hypocritical because we bought it from Saga,"Diamond said. "If we wanted change, we could have talked to Kay Burke, but we felt it was moreadvantageous to organize a core group effort, circulate petitions and get attention." The BellinghamCoffee Party, as Diamond called the protest, was to be a broad-based coalition of students as opposedto "one or two elitist elected officials." "We preferred to mobilize as many as possible because this is so m e t h i n g that affects everybody," Diamond said. He said he felt it was unfair of Kay Burke, VikingUnion director, to state the price would not be affected by. petitions or demonstrations unless enoughpeople show up at a meeting to discuss it. "We will work from petitions to ensure that a sufficientnumber will come to a meeting," Diamond said. "It seems to me that Miss Burke is skirting the issue by saying they merely dropped the 10-cent coffee size, but did not raise the price." He said the intentionof the protest was to bring the issue to the students because if they don't do it, no one will do it forthem. "We hope this will exemplify what students can do if they organize first and then go throughchannels. This could be the best-spent $70 AS has ever seen," Diamond said. Larry Diamond Tomarasbans concerts, cites gym floor damage Due to problems with the gym floor there will be no concerts atWestern this quarter. Based on past experiences with damage to the floor, and the cost of refinishing it,William Tomaras, athletic director, has decreed that the gym may not be used for any non-athleticpurposes unless a suitable floor covering is used. A floor covering strong enough to protect the main part of the floor would cost around $1,000, said Lynn Weinholtz, program commissioner. Efforts are now inprogress to appropriate the money from several budgets, Miss Weinholtz said. She stressed that thestudents' cooperation is needed if concerts are ever to be held in the gym. "Cutting down on cigarettesmoking and the leaving of wine bottles in the gym has a big bearing on how concerts of the future willgo," she said. Tomaras said he was going to keep the gym "in good condition." "Those concerts areharder on the gym floor than anything. It costs $1,400-$ 1,500 to sand and refinish the floor. It's in goodshape now, and it's my responsibility to keep it that way. Nobody is going to be in there for any reasonunless the floor is adequately protected," he said. "The floor is always scuffed after concerts and thereare cigarette burns on the floor. Talk about pollution, you should see the pollution in this place after aconcert. There is a stench of pot in the gym for three days afterwards." Tutor program expands By SUEGAWRYS Staff Reporter There's a real-life, immediate opportunity to apply textbook skills to theoutside world. More students are needed for student tutorials. Steve LaVigne, director of Western'stutorials program said about 20 people are needed for the various projects. Some of the projects requirespecial skills, such as tutoring for high school classes, and others involve imagination and time to spend with children. Last quarter, about 70 students tutored. LaVigne said most of the tutors are womeneducation majors. Together with the tutors and the number of children tutored, the program involvedabout 100 people. LaVigne headed the Lynden project, which tutors Chicano children on a one-to-onebasis. It involves about 11 children (10 tutors) and also has provided recreational activities, such as flagfootball. The Lummi Indian project is headed by Willie Sgambelluri. This project involves home tutoring,usually of high school level. "The Marietta project is almost purely social and recreational," LaVignenoted. There are about 13 tutors involved. The Nooksack Indian project, headed by Mike Veitenhans,combines both academic and social activities. It is an all-day Saturday project. There are about fivetutors. The Bellingham area schools, with Carol Lager in charge, have about 25 tutors. This is mainlyacademic tutoring. There are also tutor openings in the VISTA Middle School in Ferndale, Boys Club,Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, Brownies and Cub Scouts. LaVigne, a senior at Fairhaven, said that tutorswith cars are especially needed and they will be reimbursed for expenses. College credit can beobtained for tutoring, he said, through conference courses in education, soc/anth or the College of Ethnic Studies. Few tutors are enrolled for credit, but LaVigne said this is being encouraged. The appeal oftutorials is wide, he said, "for people who have interests in learning about different ethnic groups, suchas the Mexican-Americans or the Indians, or people interested in the educational system." Tutorials -run the gamut between structured, purely a c a d e m i c framework to n o n - s t r u c t u r e d socialframework. Tutorials have included such non-classroom activities as field trips, "seeing and experiencing things you don't get in school," LaVigne said. "The scope of educational experience has broadened. It's not purely academic. We're dealing with a child's total academic environment, relating school to achild's total world," he said. In conjunction with this idea, LaVigne will introduce a proposal to the ASLegislature to expand tutorials "to include a wider variety of community involvement experiences." . This would give students an opportunity to test themselves in their chosen field in volunteer capacity, whilebeing useful to community organizations. Tutorials would thus move into a broader realm of non-academic community help projects. It would be sponsored and funded by tutorials. LaVigne, whoworked with the Lynden project for two years, said that most of the children don't even -think of tutoringas school. " I t has really made a difference," he said. Not many tutors are lost from the programbecause of a high frustration level, he said. They find out quickly how e f f e c t i v e l y they are incommunication with children, how well they can react to people in different situations. "It's a goodchance to test yourself," he said. He feels tutoring is making a contribution towards helping thesestudents, besides providing Western students with a chance to test themselves. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 25 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, January 25, 1972 Western Front 5 Mama Sundays' talent thrives By SUE GAWRYS StaffReporter People aren't clapping and boogying at Mama Sundays so much anymore, but they're listening harder. Mama Sundays is the Saturday night free coffee shop, which features music, coffee andentertainment from 7 until 11 or, most often, 11:30 p.m. or midnight. Sam Piha, who runs MamaSundays , said, "The atmosphere at Mama Sundays has really changed since last year. People don'tget as involved, but they're more attentive. They really listen." Piha said the people coming to the casual coffee shop are much straighter, "more dorm people." The audience is usually fairly passive, but theygive their full attention to the music and are completely tolerant of anyone who plays, he said. Becauseof this, many of "the performers have enjoyed playing Mama Sundays because they find people who willlisten to the words of their songs. He described the typical audience, of about 200 people, as sensitiveto the people playing although not too loud. "And if an artist really wants people to respond to theirmusic, they'll get them to," Piha feels. The people who play at Mama Sundays are usually from aroundthis area, although p e o p l e passing through Bellingham have played there. Piha said there is a wealthof talent around Bellingham, people who play the guitar and sing what he terms "living room music."Most of the people couldn't go professional, he said, but their music is enjoyable. "A lot of people comein and they're not very confident, but they are good," Piha, a junior from Bellevue, said. Mama Sundayshas an operating budget for four quarters of $1900, which pays for the feature set, an hour-longperformance. The feature set (there are one or two per night) is paid $25 an hour or $40 for two people. If they are good, they are paid $50 for two people, Piha said. He usually auditions for the feature set andchooses who will perform. Often the artist chosen for the feature set has played previously on open mike and been popular with the.audience. Ten or 12 people play open mike per night. They usually come upbefore Mama Sundays begins and Piha gives them a spot on the program, for fifteen minutes, withouthearing them previously. People at MamaSundays will listen to anything played, but they particularlylike folk and county music, fiddle tunes and piano music. There have been some poets who wereenjoyed, too. Mainly men play there. Piha would like to see more women, more poets and a greatervariety of music. He has also advertised for magicians, jugglers and tap dancers, to fill in betweenpeople. "It's really genuine. They're not acts. We look for people who play music, not people whoperform," Piha said. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet spontaneous. "We've had some wild nights, whenthe crowd gets going," Piha said. "But it's not like AM radio, because you don't have to smile all thetime," Piha said. The audience is patient with performers who don't say much to them, or who have tostop and remember what to play next." Several changes have helped maintain this easygoing feelingpresent at Mama Sundays, held this year on the fourth floor of the Viking Union. Free coffee is nowserved. In an effort to make Mama Sundays more of a coffee shop in the traditional sense, it will be held in the VU coffee shop, on the second floor. Saga will stay open (quietly) and Piha said they will stillserve their own coffee, because Saga's 15 cent per cup price is too much, he thinks. If this provessuccessful, the coffee shop will open on a few week-nights, too, providing the same entertainment. -"Although Mama Sundays never was a coffee shop, and more of a talent show, we're going to create acoffee shop. There aren't any in Bellingham that are worth going to," Piha said. He personally would like more Western music, of the banjo and fiddle type, plus more "authentic" music, such as a 5 0-year-old man playing a 50-year-old song, he said. He would like to attract more people from outside thecommunity, such as those who play Seattle taverns, then Vancouver. An A11-American Boogie Nightwas held last quarter in the VU Lounge. People liked this, and he would like to try something like itagain. Together with Tim Johnson, who does the sound, he coordinates the Mama Sunday effort andwatches closely to gauge the crowd's reaction to each performer. Piha, a sociology major, has runMama Sundays since the beginning of this school year. Mama Sundays is not expected to makemoney. It invariably loses, because it is free, although people donate a nickel or quarter for coffee if they have it. There is little advertising done. It consists of one poster, put up telling who is playing. MamaSundays seems to run on word of mouth. Piha encourages people to play at Mama Sundays . "It's thepeople that make it happen, and I think it's one of the best things happening on campus," he.said.Street survey underway Student volunteers are needed to aid in a survey of High Street traffic beingconducted by Western students in connection with the campus planning office and the Bellinghamtraffic control office. Information from the survey will be used to determine who uses the street, how often and why. The results will be presented to the traffic control office and the proper city officials. Theorganizers hope the results will speed up the closure of High Street if they show it need not be used.Any students interested in helping with the survey should c o n t a c t Lloyd Johnson, Gar y Sanders orAlice Collingwood. Club compiling consumer index "We want to give the student a break," said GlennGarcelon, a member of Western's Geography Club and in charge of the club's project to compile a list of reputable and honest Bellingham businesses. Garcelon, a senior from Pennsylvania, said a student "isa t a particular disadvantage, he is not a native of the town and every time something breaks down or heneeds a specific service, he has to worry about how badly he is being taken." ^ The club has not yetdecided if the list will carry negative comments but hopes it "will become the businessman's socialregister of Bellingham." "We need to know where students are treated well, where they got the bestservice," Garcelon said. "We're not going to orient our pamphlet toward the cheapest services, but thequality services."

The Counseling Services Committee, coordinated by Saundra Taylor, counselor at the center, is attempting to answer these questions. A standingcommittee of the All College Senate, its original charge was to study and recommend what directionsthe center should take. After Nugent's resignation, the committee was also charged with selecting anew director, defining or redefining the duties of the director, and evaluating staff needs for next year inrelation to available resources. Studying the philosophy of t h e center and possible directions it couldtake raises questions concerning the Events involvement in training in c l i n i c a l and counselingpsychology on the graduate level, the need for research, and the kind and quality of service offered tostudents. The Counseling Center now operates primarily on the basis of immediate needâ€”as a crisisclinic. To be of greater service to students, many feel it should be involved in more outreach, more"preventive medicine." This might involve meeting with students in dorms and through the clustercolleges. More service in this area could facilitate counseling on less immediate, but not less critical,problems, such as vocational choices. Group counseling is another possibility. Some efforts in thisdirection are being made, but the staff is not large enough to expand into t h i s â€”or any otherâ€”area in depth.

I n evaluating possible directions the Counseling Centermight take, the committee is highly interested in feedback from students.

Western defeated Southern OregonCollege in Ashland, 83-71, Friday night, and dumped Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls, 77-63, Saturday.

Western, which has risen to sixthnationally among NAIA VIKINGS 83, RAIDERS 71 schools showed balanced scoring and timely freethrow shooting to keep the win streak alive. Against Southern Oregon, the Vikings scored 33 points from the free throw line to pull out the victory. The Red Raiders, who were tied once at 3-3, scored more field goals than did Western, but hit only 15 of 30 charity tries. Rudy Thomas led an even scoring attack forthe Big Blue, accounting for 22 points. Mike Franza, Tom Bradley, and Gary White also hit doublefigures, with 21, 15, and 13 points respectively.

Bub Ezell,AS senator and chairman of the new committee says the next step is to get athletes involved. Lastspring a financial crisis threatened to eliminate varsity a t h l e t i c s . Though athletics survived, Ezellsaid the need for future planning was apparent. "The main idea of the committee," Ezell said, "is toexplore the possibilities of fundings in case athletics are threatened again. Right now what we need areathletes themselves who want to help protect their sports." Sundquist, in a memorandum to Westernstudents, said that " b e c a u s e p a r t i c i p a t o ry experience in organized athletics is essential tothe complete and proper training of coaches, it is conceivable that immeasurable damage could be doneto our children by weakening or eliminating college varsity athletic programs." Ezell, the plan'soriginator, stressed that the committee was not formed to find ways of eliminating sports, but to"preserve them. "We are not formed to phase out athletics," Ezell, a pitcher for the Western baseballteam, said, "although, some students might be confused on that point. "We can meet at any time, as a standing committee, to deal with any problem that might arise. It is vitally important that athletes showthat they are willing to take care of their own interests." The committee will consist of both students and coaches. Ezell said that the coaches have been responding well to the idea. The committee isscheduled to start at full force next quarter, as the balance of this quarter will be used for organization.Another facet of the committee will be to "study the intramural athletic program at this college and torecommend ways in which same can be upgraded." The committee will be answerable directly toSundquist and has been endorsed by College President Charles J. Flora and Loren L. Webb, chairmanof the Faculty Council. "This is the chance for Western athletes to support their spofts," Ezell said. "Iwould hate to have kids of the future never have the chance to participate in athletics, just because wedidn't work now to provide them with one." and Allen Graves finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds.The Vikings led at the half, 47-40, and broke to a 13 point lead in the second half before forcing SOC tofoul. At Klamath Falls, Western never trailed, but OTI refused to fold completely. The much improvedOwls, though trailing, 39-24 at the half, won the second half, 39-38. Franza and White each scored 15to lead Western, while Thomas motched 14. Doug Vigneau and Mel Farris led the Owls with 14 apiece,and Phil Scher put through 11. Western won a close rebound war, 46^-2, with Thomas again collecting14. The Viks broke to an early 7-1 lead, and stretched it to 36-20 at one point. Oregon Tech never came close after that, but refused to allow Western to put it away early. Foul trouble almost proved deadly for the Chuck Randall coached Viks, as three Vikings had three fouls at the half, and two, Bradley andRoger Fuson fouled out. Next scheduled action for Western is Saturday, when Eastern Oregon comesto Bellingham. Western's wrestling squad was on the receiving end this weekend as they absorbed a29-8 beating at the hands of Seattle Pacific and a 20-11 loss to a University of Washington teamcomposed of varsity and junior varsity wrestlers. Against Seattle Pacific, Western, without the servicesof Randy Tomaras, Bill Hunt and Bill Lowmon, suffered its worst defeat of the season. The Vikingsrecorded wins from Mike Donnelly, 118, and Lee Andersen, 158. Both wrestlers remained undefeatedover the weekend. Western's Dave Climer earned a draw with his opponent to end the Viking scoring.The rest of the squad was outclassed by the Seattle team. Of six decisions recorded by SPC, threewere decided by ten points or more. "I think that we can do better against them when we wrestle themhere," said Lanny Bryant, coach of the Vikings. "I don't want to sound like I am making excuses, but wedid have three varsity men out and that hurt us," he said. When the Washington Huskies rolled intotown, they were riding the crest of a victory over number one ranked Iowa State. The UW had beenranked number three in the NCAA poll. For reasons unknown to Bryant, Larry Owings and MikeDowner, Washington's two unbeatens, failed to show up with the squad. The publicized matchesbetween Owings and Lee Andersen, and Mike Donnelly and Downer were terminated. In O w i n g ' splace, however, Andersen wrestled Don Pleasant. Pleasant, who last year took fifth place in the NCAAu n i v e r s i t y division, held Andersen to a draw, 7-7. Andersen last year took fourth in the NAIA small ' college division. Andersen had his man beat 6-1 midway through the final period before a takedown,reversal and near fall enabled Pleasant to tie the match. There was no riding time. In a match decided by riding t i m e , Mike Kondo of Washington upended John Donnelly 2-1. Jerry Bailey, wrestling hissecond match of the year at 167, dumped Chuck LeGott of Washington 5-4. Mike Compton, 190,recorded the Vikings only pin of the evening by stretching out Bill Allen of the UW varsity in 7:17. Twopredicaments in the third period gave Ben Berqsuna enough of a margin to upend Western's JeffMichaelson 11-8 in the heavyweight division. "I think that we could have done a little better," Bryant tolda fan after the match. EDELWEISS HAUS "sports specialists" PLU downs tankers Western's swimteam will hit the road Friday, as they travel to do battle with the defending champions of the Evergreen C o n f e r e n c e , the Central Wildcats. Central, coming off a great season a year ago, will really be atest for the Vikings, according to Vik coach Don Wiseman. Pacific Lutheran University downed Western in a home meet Saturday, 74-38. Tom Ward led the Vikings with a first in the 50-yd. free style, asecond in the 200-yd. butterfly and also anchored the victorious 400-yd. free style relay team. Western's captain, Jerry Gent, got two seconds in the meet and swam the third position on the relay team.Western's Don Williams started the 200-yd. butterfly with a torrid pace and had the - lead for the first half of the race with Ward and PLU's John Hanson close behind. When Williams tired, Ward and Hansongot the crowd on their feet as they fought for the lead. Hanson won in 2:16.5 Ward a half second slower. with 400-yd.

Rutan is chairman of the political science department and was recently appointedhead of the interdepartmental programs in Canadian and Canadian- American Studies. The seminarsare held at frequent intervals to promote dialogue between the State Department staff and academia.Rutan said that Canadian anti-Americanism is important because there is a tendency even among hiscolleagues, for Americans to ignore or be ignorant of Canada. "I may invite someone to drive up toVancouver with me, and he's surprised to find a real city. He thought it was all wilderness up there,"Rutan said. He attributed anti-U.S. feelings to America's "triumphal ignorance of Canada." Rutancontinued, "When President Nixon was in Detroit he spoke of Japan as our biggest trading partner.Japan is not our biggest trading partner, Canada is." "Canada now has to choose between a highstandard of living and Americanization, or a lower standard and Canadianization. Some political partieshave a l r e a d y come out for Canadianization." Women to get career center Gerard Rutan A careercounseling center for women will soon be opening in the Placement Office. . C a l l e d the Women'sOccupational Resource Center, it will be staffed by three g r a d u a t e students, Julie Buffington,Cheryn Weiser and Susan Wishkoski, and will work with the office of Associate Dean of Students, Mary Robinson, the Counseling Center, the Placement Office and the Women's Commission. In addition toappraisals of the current employment picture for women, there will be information available on a numberof possible careers, some more typical than others. Mrs. Buffington, student personnel intern in t hePlacement Office, said, "As much as anything, we're encouraging women to come in and rap. Rightnow, women just don't have a place to find somebody to talk to." The center will have a number ofbooks, pamphlets, studies and files on women and employment, and these will be available even whenthe staff is not in, she said. Mrs. Buffington expects to be dealing with such problems as findingalternatives for those who entered the education field thinking it a "woman's realm" and an automatic job, and now find neither to be true. She pointed out that the center will provide information and counselingbut will not place people. For those interested in either staffing or using the center, there will be ameeting Wednesday, Jan. 26, from 3 to 5:00 p.m. in VU 008. CES offers Asian course The first Asian-American studies course will be offered by the College of Ethnic Studies (CES) next quarter. " I n t r o d u c t i o n to t he Asian-American Experience," a five-credit course, will be taught by Germonimo G.Tagatac, who was hired early fall quarter by CES to r e s e a r c h an Asian-American studies program.Tagatac, who has an M.A. in A s i a n h i s t o r y with a concentration in modern China, said thecourse, open to anyone, will explore the Japanese, C h i n e s e and Philippine experience in the UnitedStates, with emphasis on identity and community. The course will be used to develop future curriculumfor Asian-American studies here and will be practicality-oriented, he said. It will be held on a seminar ba s i s , with reading and discussion. Between 20 to 30 students have expressed interest in the course.Tagatac hopes it will be self-generating, leading to greater Asian-American awareness. Tagatac said hewas surprised t h a t t h e r e was n o Asian-American studies here, because Asians are probably thethird largest ethnic population in Washington, numbering 41,000. S t u d e n t s and faculty developedthe background leading to the course. The Huxley College Environmental Reference- Bureau (HERB)recycling center finally has found a home, and will be opening today or tomorrow to receive aluminumcans, paper and glass. Student volunteers from Huxley spent this past weekend reinforcing thefoundations and knocking o u t the walls of an unoccupied house at 623 21st St. which was donated toHuxley by Western for the HERB project. According to Stuart Hansen of HERB, the recycling programis much more organized than it â€¢ was last quarter.

Constitution s/ows senate's progress College President Flora doesn't care ifthe All-College Senate takes as long as two years to develop. "Can it do it? I think it can," he said. TheAssociated Student Legislative, Faculty Council, and Staff Employee Council will continue to functionwhile the senate clears up its major problem . . . housekeeping. One of the prime orders ofhousekeeping is straightening out the constitution. The senate's first four meetings have been devoted to deciding what some articles and bylaws mean. F l o r a f o r e s a w t he problem of the senate with itsconstant changing beginning. No one "could put the damn thing on the line and expect it to work withperfection." F l o r a , who is also president of the senate, feels the senate is "moving along very well."Regarding the length of time it will take the senate to assume the problems and responsibilities to "aidand abet the cause of learning," he said, "I'm in no hurry at all. I am eager that it move along as swiftlyas possible." " I believe in shared a u t h o r i t y , " Flora said!. "I mean that you look to the v a r i o u sagencies of t he community and consider their views important." With the lack of interest in studentgovernment at Western (only some nine per cent voted at the election for the senate), it would be astroke of luck if the students' views were ever known to be represented. When any group interacts in adecision making role there are likely to be conflicts, Flora said. "During the birth pains of the senatethere will be considerable c o n f l i c t . " As an example F l o r a s t a.t e d t h at someday a presidentmay overrule the senate and conflict will certainly be a result. "It's part of the business." Also a part ofthe business is the Board of Trustees. They have given their permission for the formation of the All-College Senate but not their approval. F l o r a said t h a t t he board feels that the concept of thesenate is new and untested but that they are willing to see if it will work. T h e r e will be ampleopportunity for the board to observe Western's senate. They have passed a motion stating that it will betwo years before they ratify Western's new constitution. In an earlier address Flora called this actionwise, saying that such a move will enable the senate to undergo change without constant boardapproval. D e s p i t e t h e o d ds Flora feels very optimistic. Whereas decisions by assortedconstituencies were made separately, now "they are in the same room debating the issue." PresidentFlora sees progress being made. The plan is for the old g o v e r n m e n t to continue functioning as ithas "for a long time already" and let the senate pick up functions as they come along. Right now focusis on the A c a d e m i c C o o r d i n a t i ng Commission. F l o r a g a v e a formula for successfulgrowth of the senate. "Let them grow easy and soundly . . . at the same time, let's not stagnate." "Maoand Marx in Mainland China," the first panel discussion on the book of the quarter, "Red China Today,"will be presented tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. in Lecture Hall 2. Panelists are Jeffrey M. Fang of the economics and business department, Debnath Mookherjee of the geography department, Henry Schwarz of thepolitical science and history departments and R. E. Stannard Jr. of the journalism program. Bill Scott,documents librarian, will be moderator.

The council rescheduled discussion and action on a system for two weeksso that more faculty feedback could be obtained. Regardless of which system is chosen, this quarter'smethod will be the same as last quarter's, which allowed professors to hold class during the last week.A recent survey showed that the faculty were in favor of going back to last year's method which calls fortwo-hour specified finals. However, the faculty had not been surveyed on their opinions of De Hiles(student) proposal which advises that a professor hold class during finals week either by conductingnormal class sessions with assignments and give no final, or by giving a one-hour in-class or a take-home final with the option of canceling classes for the remainder of the week. Several faculty memberson the council were upset with the s t u d e n t - p r o p o s e d method because they felt that systemtells the faculty how to teach during the last week. They seemed to be in favor of a two-hour specifiedfinals week schedule because they believed that in many classes one hour is not enough time forstudents to take a final. One faculty member thanked the students for their efforts in writing the proposalbut was so upset with it that he wanted the council to tack on an amendment which would give thefaculty referendum power to veto the council's final decision. The faculty member withdrew his motion -when consideration on any system was postponed until March 7. Because of the faculty member'saction, one student AC member made a motion that students also have referendum power. This wasvoted down. Before the postponement, another faculty member suddenly got up from the table and leftthe room. Several remaining members commented that he had left because he had thought that anecessary quorum of 11 people to pass any system would not exist if he left. William Bultmann, dean of Western and chairman of AC, pointed out that a quorum did exist. AS Academic Coordinator StanCuykendall told the council that the student - designed proposal is a compromise between last quarter'sand last year's systems. "The majority of students did not like last quarter's system but did not want togo back as far as last year's method," he said. AC member from left: De Hiles, Bob Snyder, Dean ofWestern William Bultmann, Don Kjarsgaard (not a voting member), Dean Powers, Arthur Solomon, RaySchwalm, Joseph Crook, David Ziegler (with his shoulder showing). Other members are: Paul Roley, Chris Taylor, Robert McDonnell, Norman Lindquist, Henry Brockhaus, Jane Roberts and Don Easterbrook.photQ b y B Q B M c L A U C H L AN Prison reforms at press confer by HEIDI HENKEN Staff Reporter William Harris of the College of Ethnic Studies (CES) advocated a program of prison reforms at a pressconference held Wednesday morning in the Black Student Union office. "In general, what we are talkingabout," Harris told a Western Front reporter, "is a kind of comprehensive service organization' forprisoners here on campus, but we feel, at this point, we are being thwarted in our efforts." Harris saidthat he would like to see community-based early-release or halfway houses in this area, along with more jobs and school positions for people released from prison. For those for whom early release is notpossible, Harris said he would like to see less prison censorship and better education and rehabilitationprograms inside the walls of prisons. Harris' call for prison reforms stemmed from the refusal of McNeilIsland Federal Prison officials to permit a class of Black students to visit a Black Cultural Workshop atthe prison. The group of 49 students had been invited by prisoners to visit the self-rehabilitating projectthe prisoners have set up to prepare themselves for a return to life on the outside. The students hadpetitioned to visit McNeil Island both to the prison itself and through sponsors provided for by the PrisonProgram Director in Seattle. Both times they were turned down, a BSU press release said. De Hileshad earlier told the Front that her proposed method retains the flexibility of Fall quarter's system byallowing the professor either to hold class or give a final during the last week and adds the "neededorder" by having one-hour specified finals: She said that by scheduling finals in an organized mannerwith one-hour finals, the student urged ence "The prison population i n f o r m e d us that theadministration would not grant any student or single woman access to the prison," the release said."Our group has not been alone in these attempts to visit the McNeil Island complex." Western's blackstudents have undertaken a letter-writing campaign, through the CES Black Consciousness Class, tostate senators, representatives and the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. will not find that all ofhis finals fall on the-same day. The amendment which AC tacked onto her proposal states that,although one-hour finals may be given only during finals week, two-hour finals may be given in two parts,holding part in each of the last two weeks of the quarter and abiding by a specified schedule. Before the amendment was passed, the proposal said that finals may be given only during finals week. Accordingto the proposal-classes meeting Monday, Wednesday and Friday at an even hour will have a final thatMonday; classes meeting at an odd hour those days will have a final on Wednesday; Tuesday andThursday even-hour classes will have a final on Tuesday, while odd hour classes will take a final onThursday; a class meeting five days a week has the option of taking the exam on 'either Monday orTuesday; and no more than one test may be given during finals week. Purchased papers may spellexpulsion A n n A r b o r , Mich. (CPS)-Two University of Michigan students are facing expulsion forusing a commercial term paper writing service. The service sold both students identical papers, who,unknowingly, turned them in to the same English professor. The company told each student that hereceived an original term paper which would be the only one at the university. In addition, in May of thisyear, two Harvard students were found to have used this service. One was expelled and the othersuspended for a year. University of Michigan English Department Chairman Charles Hagelman said astudent using this type of service may face university expulsion. "Only the student stands to lose byusing this" service," Hagelman said. Sanford Dean, psychology â€¢department chairman, said if thestudents can buy term papers, "why don't we sell them course credits or degrees?" BLOSSOM needsnames and money Backers of BLOSSOM (Basic Liberalization of Smokers and Sympathizers ofMarijuana) will be on campus Monday, trying to raise money and signatures for the drive to legalizemarijuana. In order to raise funds, BLOSSOM is selling patches, T-shirts and subscriptions to theirnewsletter. In the last issue of BLOSSOM'S newsletter, From t h e BLOSSOM Patch, co-chairmenThorn Abbott writes: 'â€¢Listen, folks, too many of you are quite glad to see what we are doing and yetnot too quick to help out.

Although the constitution has been in effectfor less than a year, the Ad-Hoc Committee on the constitution has submitted a p r o p o s a l for majorreorganization to the senate. The ad-hoc committee's plan w o u l d a b o l i s h the UndergraduateCouncil and raise two of the three committees under it to council status, serving directly under the A c a d e m i c Coordinating Commission (ACC). The two proposed councils are a Teacher Certification andCurricula Council and an Arts and Sciences Curricula Council. They would serve directly under the ACCalong with the Fairhaven Curricula Council, the Ethnic Studies Curricula Council, the Huxley CurriculaCouncil, the Research Council and the Graduate Council. The Arts and Sciences Council would havejurisdiction over all undergraduate curricula within the College of Arts and Sciences, excluding thecluster colleges. The Teacher Certification and Curricula Council would-have jurisdiction over teachertraining and certification. This council would govern the education department in place of the presentAcademic Council. The other councils under the ACC would continue to serve their purposes asoutlined in the present constitution, with the General Education Committee (governing general studies)under the Arts and Sciences Curricula Council. The committee report provides that a graduate council.will have jurisdiction over all graduate programs as in the present constitution. Some senate memberswere concerned that elevation of the teacher education committee to council status would, in effect,create a separate college of education. One senator likened the proposal to "taking out someone'stonsils from the wrong end" because it seems to be backing into the creation of a new college. Thesenate tabled the proposal until its next meeting on March 6. In other action, the senate completed themonth-long process of electing members to the ACC. The 16-member council will handle all curriculaand academic matters for Western. Student members of the ACC are, Stuart Paxton, drama; D. Power, Fairhaven; Stan Cuykendall, Huxley; and Joe McConkey, graduate student. Faculty members are,Milton Krieger, general studies; Michael Seal, technology; August Radke, history; Phil Ager, music;William Harris, College of Ethnic Studies; Sam Porter, technology; William Brown, technology; DavidMason, Fairhaven; Hugh Fleetwood, philosophy; and Don Ferris, teacher education. The senate alsochanged the wording of By-law 12 in the constitution, providing that future members of the ACC will benominated and elected directly by the senate. Previously, the Committee on Councils and Committeeswas charged with appointing the members of the ACC with the approval of the senate. The senate'sExecutive Committee will move in the next few weeks to appoint four new c o m m i t t e e s â€” E l e c t i o n s , Legislative, Long-range Planning and Individual Rights and Grievances. Front EditorialsOlympia's hoâ€”hum waltz It seems with the legislature drawing to a close there should be a proliferationof legislation spewing forth. This is hardly the case. As far as the people of the State of Washington areconcerned, the legislature has done it againâ€”nothing. Out of about 1,100 bills introduced into bothHouses, approximately 40 will pass. There must have been a few more bills worthy of being made intolaw. The ones that did pass, with a few exceptions, are pretty trivial compared to the ones that died. Itshould be in an election year that legislature would be more aware of their constituents and their needs.As it turned out though, all the people got was a slightly better version of last year's "do nothing"legislature. I, for one, am not impressed by passage of hitchhiking and bike path laws when otherimportant issues are allowed to die. While laws such as these are needed and appreciated, they do bringup a question or priorities. After a while one begins to wonder just who the legislature is catering to, andwhether they are serving the people or serving themselves. I am sure politics is a much more complexgame than I realize, but why can't a bill stand or fall on its own merits, or lack of them, rather/thanwhether or not Senator Flunky voted for Senator Graft's bill or because it's a Republican or Democraticbill. It's time the politicians took a more realistic view of the needs of the people and tried to do something about it. I always thought that was the way our system of government was supposed to work anyway.The legislature is almost out for this year, but there is always next year. I can hardly wait.

A typical low-budget student meal is hamburger thinned out with sawdust.But this all came to an end two weeks ago. I was down at the local supermarket when it happened. IÂ«watched as a student walked over to the meat counter, looked in and fell back in horror. My curiositysomewhat aroused, I stepped over his body and took a peek for myself. Right before my eyes I sawNixon's Wage/Price Freeze in full operation. A sign read "Ground Beef . . . 69 cents a pound." As afaithful member of the Hamburger For Lunch-Bunch And For Dinner,It's A Winner Club, this was a deathsentence. I felt as if I had been priced right out of existence. Now for those students living on campus, itmay seem a little silly to get upset over the fact that hamburger went up from 59 cents a pound to 69cents over night, but the truth of matter is that students living off campus base their lives around thehamburger market. It has been said that how goes the hamburger, so goes the student. A typicalillustration of how important hamburger is to a student might be in order. Let's say a class book costs $10 and weighs a pound. Now for the hamburger-eating student, this price does not just represent $ 10 out of the pocket; rather it means how many pounds of hamburger it can buy. Last year, when the price ofhamburger was 49 cents a pound, a student could pick up the book and say, "This book is worth 20pounds of hamburger " and then decide which was more important, the book or eating for the next threeweeks. Now with the price at 69 cents a pound, a student will figure that $10 will only buy a little over 14pounds of hamburger, thereby bringing the worth of the book down to a 1 to 14 ratio (one pound of bookvs. 14 pounds of hamburger) rather than the better 1 to 20 ratio of last year. This makes the book a littlemore tempting. However, this does not mean the hamburger eater will buy the book. It just means thatthe student is getting less hamburger for the book-purchasing dollar. Of course, as every hamburger eater knows, 14 pounds of hamburger only yields two pounds of meat, with 10 pounds of grease left over andtwo pounds of unidentified foreign material left floating around. But the wise student can use thehamburger grease for various around-the-home projects such as lubing the car, keeping down thatcowlick and making candles. The money saved can then be used to purchase more hamburger. For thevery serious hamburger eater, there is nothing wasted. By continuing with the 14 pounds of hamburger we bought instead of the book, we find that it can be thinned out with a 50-pound sack of sawdust. Properlycooked this will make 3,000 hamburger patties or the world's biggest meatloaf or two tons of spaghetti orenough Hungarian goulash to last a lifetime. Now some people get sick of eating just hamburger, so they change its name to ground beef. For some reason, ground beef always tastes a little better thanhamburger. "What are we having for dinner tonight? Ground beef cakes? Oh good, because I was sick ofhamburger patties." Then there are people who get so sick of hamburger that they go out and buy books entitled "A Million Ways To Fix Ground Beef." These books usually cost about eight pounds ofhamburger and are not worth it. Upon opening such a book, a student will soon discover the only thing he can afford to buy is the hamburger. Everything else that goes with the hamburger costs too much, so it is back to mainlining hamburger. But it is hard to predict just what effect the new price of hamburger willhave on the students. I foresee hamburger blackmarkets doing a big business soon and hamburgersmugglers trying to run the border at Blaine or coming up from Oregon. Pretty soon customs officialswon't be shaking down students for drugs, but will be looking for those tell-tale signs of a hamburger freak-grease around the mouth, onion breath and sawdust in the pockets. On campus, strange men in blackovercoats will be walking around with their pockets filled with uncut hamburger, saying things like, "Hey,kid, I got some thirty per cent grease-free hamburger here. Just flown up from Mexico. And for you,because 1 like ya, just forty-nine cents a kilo." Next, Reader's Digest will be running stories on "How toTell If Your Children Are On Hamburger." And hamburger seminars will be formed to help people kick thehabit. And Congress will form committees to study the problem. Any way you cut it, things are going tobe tight around campus. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 25 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, February 25, 1972 Western Front Letters: Front scolded on VD story Editor, Western Front:Staff in the Sex Information office have several bones to pick with the author of the Feb. 1 Front story,"VD prevention has p r o b l e m s . . . . " We cannot believe that Dr. Jones was accurately quoted inthis article. First of all, you imply that if a girl uses contraceptives, she is not a "nice girl!" What? Is thisthe traditional distinction between a "nice girl" and a "good girl?" Wait a minute! Furthermore, to finishthat statement, you say "If she's a nice girl, she doesn't have any contraceptives, but she'll give youVD." Then, in the following paragraph, you state "If she is using birth control pills, she probably gives you gonorrhea if she's promiscuous." This all seems to say that girls are d a m n e d if they use c o n t r ac e p t i v e s and are promiscuous, and damned if they are nice girls and don't use contraceptives. Andthen you go on to report that "This is a general pattern"â€”? We disagree! You fail to mention that thesource of VD in a pair is often the male, who should use a condom to protect the girl he's havingintercourse with. While he can't help being aware of the fact that he does have VD, the girl often doesn'tshow the external symptoms of the disease. She can come in contact with it and spread it to someoneelse without knowing it. You should have included in your message the importance of communicationbetween sexual partners. 'You quote -Dr. Jones as'' saying there is not much "recreational intercourse"here. We think there is, seen especially by those males who come to the Sex Information office to findout how they can prevent giving their girlfriends in Seattle the VD they have picked up from "recreationalintercourse" up here. Finally, we take odds with your use of "a girl being mature sexually." It soundslike she hasn't reached puberty yet! In your eyes, is a girl mature sexually when (1) she can haveintercourse? (2) she has intercourse frequently? or (3) when she's mature enough to recognize theimportance of contraception? The interview mentioned in the Front with Dr. Jones took place last quarter. We can only hope the author of the story has misconstrued Dr. Jones' words, thereby leading (his, her)readers to believe that all girls automatically have VD and that VD is transmitted by girls only. Oursuggestion to the Front is that it re-interview its source people when a period of time has elapsed to asto insure the accuracy of its story. Sex Info VU223 Vet frags Front error Editor, Western Front: I amwriting in response to a short article on page four of Tuesdays edition, which was t i t l e d , "VeteransPlan Demonstration." The title of the article implied that veterans were p l a n n i n g some sinistermovement. However, the context referred only to "the students." Who are "the students?" What group of veterans .was instigating ,the demonstrations mentioned? As a veteran, I do not care to be associatedwith the activities mentioned in the article. As a reader of the Western Front, I was extremelydisappointed to see such shoddy reporting. Sincerely, Michael J. Reardon Editor's Note: The Feb. 18issue of the Front carried the corrected veterans story on page four under the headline "errata,"Veterans plan demonstration." The kicker "errata" referred to the Front's error in misplacing the originalstory. Ex-editor hits biased cartoon Editor, Western Front: An editorial opinion expressed by CurtisKnight in last Tuesday's edition of the Western Front (2-15-72) caused quite a stir among coffee shopnewspaper readers. The most prevalent signs of the stir seemed to manifest themselves in a widespread recognition of the brilliance of Mr. Knight's "view," but unfortunately this was accompanied by aninability on the part of most readers to capture the real essence of the article and draw a few parallelsfrom his rather astute analysis of a very real problem. For those of you who might have forgotten theissue, Mr. K n i g h t expressed great dissatisfaction over an ad for the Student Co-op Bookstore "thatfeatured a grinning, Sambo-type cartoon drawing for its logo." Mr. Knight then expounded: "To say weBlack students were offended by the drawing is an understatement; we were pissed off " Mr. Knightthen offered a short description of the apology scene in which Les Savitch, the cartoon's creator,mollified meeting of the BSU with such an obviously inexcusable defense as saying "he hadn't intendedany slighting of Black people" while promising that "the logo would be scrapped immediately."According to Knight, Savitch explained that the character had no "color," so the afro drawn on the figurewas to "in some way include minority students." We should perhaps listen to the words of that oneoffended Black student who asked Savitch, "you mean to tell me, that in 1972, you're still not aware ofwhat's been goin' on in this country?" Indeed, it is a question we should all ask of ourselves and thosearound us, particularly if we are members of minority groups. It was after relating these events that Mr.Knight turned with such startling clarity and insight to the difficult task of revealing to us the directcauses of such unfortunate trammelings upon the raw nerve ends of minorities among us. In short, Mr.Knight boiled down the causes to these: 1) Mr. Savitch is insensitive to Blacks. 2) There are no Blackson the staff of the bookstore. 3) Surely there were others co-operating with Savitch in getting the ad intoprint. 4) There are no Blacks on the staff of the Front. With this short history in the mind of the reader, Iwould like to point out a similar incident which could easily have gone unnoticed had we not been tipped off by Mr. Knight to this kind of trick. In that same issue of the Front (2-15-72) a notice from theStudent Publications Council appeared on page 8, inviting applications for the editorships of the Western Front and Klipsun. An obscene and grimy-looking little man in tattered garments with a large a n d s ha d o w e d nose (undoubtedly denoting the color "red") was featured in this notice. Quite certainly,some sort of connection was intended between editors and large, red noses and tattered garments. Tosay that I, as a large and r e d - n o s e d , t a t t e r e d - garment-wearing former editor of one of thesepublications, was offended by the drawing is an understatement; I was pissed off! I haven't yet locatedthe person responsible for the cartoon, but have no doubt that the figure was to "in some way includeminority students." I suppose also that when I find the person responsible, he will try to tell me that thenose had no "color." Well, I'm not going to be fooled so easily. I just won't listen to him. I haven't beenable to find any other members of my minority so it has been most difficult to call a meeting and g a t he r other student observations and opinions on the matter. After all, there aren't that many large and red-nosed former editors with tattered garments still around. I would however, like to ask Tim Hoyt, aschairman of the Student Publications Council, "You mean to tell me, that in 1972, you're still not awareof what's been goin' on in this country?" I should like to point out to Mr. Hoyt and the members of theStudent Publications Council that it seems very unwise to advertise for applications to the editorialpositions while either offending the growing body of former editors or warning everyone about whathappens when a person becomes an editorâ€”that person gets a large, red nose and tattered garments. After all, there haven't been that many applications to either of the two editorial posts in the past year. I too, thanks to close study of Mr. Knight's brilliant and logical analysis, have discerned the causes ofthis unfortunate situation. The causes are these: 1) Mr. -Hoyt is insensitive to former editors at large, red noses and tattered garments. 2) There are no former editors with large, red noses and tattered garments on the Student Publications Council. 3) Surely there were others co-operating with Hoyt in getting thead into print. 4) There are no former editors with large, red noses and tattered garments on the staff ofthe Front. I did talk to several staff members of the Front. I was told that members of my minority groupand, for that matter, members of any minority group would be welcome on the staff. They even went sofar as to tell me that the Front actually encourages members of minorities to join the staff. But I won't befooled by the Front staff either. I just won't listen. Incidents like this can be repeated as long as formereditors with large, red noses and tattered garments are not recognized as part of the total campuscommunity. One thing they did tell me though, down at the office of the Western Front. They said theywould print a letter or even a regular column from any member of any minorityâ€”even if it didn't make adamn bit of sense. Mark Morrow Rapist doing his own thing Editor, Western Front: I rise to thedefense of "The Rapist of Birnam Wood" who has been scoring hits with our coeds lately. Truth is, hecannot be faulted on any score. He is merely living a life style we students have endorsed amply duringthe past five years. For example: 1. "Everybody do his own thing." Students insist that the right ofindividual action . . . regardless of consequence to anybody else . . . is mose sacred, to be defended tothe last drop of blood. The Rapist of Birnam Wood just happens to have this thing about rape . . . but itis his sacred thing. Why shouldn't we doit? 2. "Not liking a law justifies breaking it." Students haveproved, for example, that ripping off the bookstore, each o t h e r ' s bicycles and the merchantsdowntown really demonstrates that laws against stealing are archaic and dehumanizing. The Rapist ofBirnam Wood just happens not to like thy laws against forcing women. Why should he obey them? 3."Violence is an approved course of action." Students subscribe to acts like occupying offices, destroying files, bombing buildings and killing anybody unfortunate enough to be too nearâ€”and participate inthem as acceptable modes of student expression. The Rapist of Birnam Wood is just implementing asanctioned form. Who would deny him? 4. "Never be hypocritical." Students support liberated sexualcodes today which mock s i n c e r i t y , respect and responsibility in relationships. The Rapist ofBirnam Wood is a model of "doing it like it is"â€”all directness, no deception, no deviousness. Why raphim for letting it all obviously hang out? 5. "Rape is an irrelevant concept." Students today can hardlystomach any concept forced upon them by a corrupt, discredited establishment which gave themnothing but pollution, the draft, Viet Nam, drugs, venereal disease, capitalism and the democraticsystem. The Rapist of Birnam Wood is just making love, not war. Isn't he being right on? The totalevidence leads me to conclude that the Rapist of Birnam Wood is only a prime piece of 1972, very much like any one of us! Ron C. Woods Junior Love not being left alone Editor, Western Front: Mr.McCartney in his letter, implied that God was love and that love was being left alone. I'm sorry to say,but Mr. McCartney knows neither God nor love. Love is not solitude, it is a close personal relationship.(If you love your wife, are you going to ask for closeness or for solitude?) We Christians here on campushave this relationship with God, because Jesus Christ died for our sins that we might be reconciled toHim. Because we know the fullness of God's love we wish to share it with others, that they might know it too and be born again in Christ J-esus. Unfortunately, Mr. McCartney, you choose not to believe and do not wish to listen. But we will not stop witnessing to God's love because there are those who areseeking the truth and we will not deprive them on your account. God bless you.

The All-College Senate will only be below the Board of Trustees, according toChuck Broches, AS legislature speaker. Broches said the plan was proposed to facilitate as muchcommunication as possible b e t w e e n student-funded activities. As it is now, no one knows whatanyone else is doing, he said. One of the groups within the new plan would be the Student Caucus ofthe All-College Senate, which will assume some of the functions of the AS legislature. Senator-at-largeNo. 1 from the All-College Senate would have approximately the same powers as the current ASpresident. Senator-at-large No. 2 would have the powers of the vice-president. They would be chairmanand vice-chairman of the Student Caucus. The Associated Students Activities Council would not havebudgeting powers under the new plan. Budgeting would be done by a group composed of Senator-at-large No. 1 or Senator-at-large No. 2; AS b u s i n e s s m a n a g e r; representatives from theproposed publications, activities and student services councils; an administrator, faculty or staff r e p r es e n t a t i v e from the publications and activities councils; and a member of the Viking Union staff.Spring Vacation Break in MEXICO March 18 to 26 Take advantage of the new Low discontinued Airfares and Hotel Packages.

I.V.C officialspoint out that they are not going to be able to solve all the information problems on campus, but theyare going to try. I.V.C will try to: â€”have the location and time of any happening on campus and be able to show people how to get there. â€”have anything that people believe is important to the information ofthe rest of the campus on one of their boards. If the center does not have the information somebodywants then they will refer that person to some place which can give that information. But, if they cannotrefer the person to any specific place, then they will find the needed information and get it back to thestudent in 24 hours, officials claim. If in their volunteer center they do not have any organization which aperson wants to work in, officials point out that they will keep that person's name for a quarter or twoand let him know when there is an opening.

It is patterned after a 1971 Seattle Walkalot for the March of Dimes,which had 5,000 walkers and raised $90,000 for the agency's fight against birth defects. The Walkalot'skey to success will be "community participation and cooperation," according to the event's chairman,Mickey Hull. Hull, a junior at Western, said he is looking for students to help on the project. Heexplained that the Walkalot is a project where walkers get individuals, businesses or organizations tosponsor them by pledging a certain amount of money for each mile the walker completes. A f t e r thewalk, the "walkalotter" collects pledges and turns the earnings over to the March of Dimes. Walksurveys have shown that person between the ages of 12 and 18 years old make up the bulk ofparticipants in a walk. Hull said that county middle and senior high school chairmen are being named tospearhead their schools' efforts in the Whatcom Walkalot. The general chairman stressed that the walkis open "to every young person under 80," and added that trophies would be awarded to the youngestand oldest walkalotters to complete the mid-March event, which will be held rain or shine. A 10-speedbicycle will go to the walker turning in the most money from sponsors' pledges. Other awards will go tothe school and organization which is the biggest money-maker, plus a trophy to the school with thegreatest number of walkers per capita. Registration and sponsor forms will be available at variousbusinesses and in most schools. Any questions about the Walkalot can be answered by calling 734-7790 or KPUG radio, the "official Walkalot station."

It is anexperimental program which was requested by Franklin's principal, Edward Brown, through Donald Moon of the technology department. Miss Goninan believes that-industrial arts can be used to introducestudents to other areas such as math and science. "It helps make the abstract things kids have to learnmore concrete," she said. The program was^started with woodworking, and kindergarten teacher LynnRasmussen used the opportunity to teach her students the cohcepts of thick and thin, short and long.The children used real hammers, saws and nails, and Miss Goninan helped' them use measures toshow them "what one foot really looks like." A field trip to a local lumber yard was taken Wednesday so the students could make their own purchases, talk to men who work with wood and get some exposureto power tools. Miss Goninan has moved into photography as the next phase of the program. Timeexposure photographs were made at Tuesday's session while the students used flashlights to drawshapes in space. This procedure was used not only to introduce photography, but to make moreconcrete another of Mrs. Rasmussen's teaching ideas. She had been teaching the children to drawletters and shapes in the air and when they used flashlights to do this for photographs, they could seethe shapes produced oh film. Miss Goninan hopes to go into metalworking after a few more photographysessions. "Kids are capable of more than they're allowed by many of the old rules of education," shesaid. "They should be allowed more exposure." She stresses that these are not craft sessions. Theyrepresent a v o c a t i o n a l approach in introducing children to the real world around them. MissGoninan said industrial arts is being brought to the elementary school level in many areas. She said astrong promoter of the idea is Edna Channer, who teaches elementary education industrial arts in thetechnology department. Miss Goninan hopes more students will become interested because she thinksit is an important step for industrial arts to take. One young artist proudly displays her finished flashlightcreation.

Baker Theatre casts a glow on the ornate ceiling. Photo by RICHCOLLINGWOOD Mt. Baker Theatre noted for elegance In last Wednesday's AS l e g i s l a t u r emeeting, a recommendation was made that one dollar per student per quarter from Fall, 1971, andWinter and Spring, 1972, be used for the purpose of supplementing loans given to students. Speaker ofthe Legislature, Chuck Broches, submitted the proposal following a letter to Dr. Flora from the FinancialAids Office. Financial Aids requested $1 of the $2 bookstore board fee. for the use of supplementingstudent loans. The proposal will be recommended to the AS business manager and President Flora. Ifthey concur, the money will be given to the Financial Aids system. If they- do not concur, there will be ashortage of money for student loans for Spring quarter. Financial Aids thought that they had the moneyfor the loans but then learned that there was not enough. Bub Ezell recommended that the legislatureendorse the proposal. The legislature will meet with those interested parties who have an opinion on thefuture use of the $2 per student per quarter fee. This week, legislature voted down a proposal toappropriate $100 so that Western can participate in a mock democratic convention at WillametteUniversity in April: Gary Duvall said that the money would only benefit a certain number of politicalscience students. Next week, AS President Tod Sundquist and AS Speaker Broches will submit aconstitution to be considered by legislature. W i t h the proposed reorganization of legislature, thepresent constitution would be outdated. "If we could get some political movement, or response from thepeople to the students, it would be well worth the i n v e s t m e n t , " Kay Burke, director of the VikingUnion, said. "Otherwise, it is just going to benefit- a certain few students." Lawyer blasts campaignsBy ARLENE JONES Staff Reporter Elegance is the key word in describing the Mt. Baker Theatre. Builtin 1927, the Mt. Baker has seen very little change in its elaborate decor. The most noticeable thing asone walks into the theatre proper is the immense chandelier, which is about 36 feet in diameter. Thechandelier was installed when the theatre was built and was only taken down during the blackouts ofWorld War II. It takes two men to change the lights on the giant fixture. Stenciling on the plaster beams was done by a private a r t i s t and underlines the beautiful gaudiness of the theatre. The main curtainhas been replaced. It used to be a soft velour with a carnival type scene in luminous paint. This made an inspiring scene when the footlights went on. The rugs have also been replaced as has most of themechanical equipment in the theatre. The original furniture is in the lobby and various clubs use some of it in coronation ceremonies. The pipe organ in the Mt. Baker is a restored Wurlitzer MT BAKER NOWSHOWING CUNT EASTWOOD DIRTY HARRY CO-HIT TH. mtJLJ3 UHMMMll SHOWTIMESTONIGHT MON. TUES.

Usedoriginally as accompaniment to silent movies, it was known as the one-man orchestra with sound effects for bass and kettle drums, tambourines, cymbals, chimes, sleighbells, xylophone and a bird whistle.The organ is used rarely now, but still works. It is situated on a hydraulic lift that raises it to stage level.The Mt. Baker is the largest theatre in Belhngham with a seating capacity of 1,500. LeRoy Kastner,manager of the theatre and a 40-year theatre business veteran, has been at the Mt. Baker since itopened. "We have tried to keep the theatre as close to the original as possible," Kastner said. "Ofcourse our sound and projection equipment has been updated to modern standards," he added. "Bignames aren't the attraction they used to be," Kastner said when asked to compare present trends topast in movie going. "We had a movie with no top names at all and it did fantastic business," he said."It ("Billy Jack") was held over three weeks. It used to be that the film had to have big stars to draw acrowd." Students admission to the Mt. Baker is $1.25 with a student discount card available at the boxoffice. A Seattle attorney who unsuccessfully ran for attorney general, in 1968, told a small group ofstudents Tuesday that political campaign funding reform is necessary. "The sickness of our politicalsystem is that unless a candidate has tens of millions of dollars, he cannot consider entering apresidential race," Marvin Durning said. He said that in 1968 a 20-second spot on one of Seattle'stelevision stations at prime evening time varied in cost from $420 to $500, not including production costs. He said a full-page ad in the S e a t t l e Times or Post Intelligencer four years ago cost Sly to perform at UPS Friday Sly and the Family Stone are scheduled to perform at 11 p.m. tonight at the University of Puget Sound Fieldhouse in Tacoma. Tickets are available for $4.50 at the Viking Union informationdesk. The concert will benefit a UPS scholarship fund. R about $2,000. One minute on a national TVnetwork at prime evening time cost $55,000. Durning believes a reasonable solution would be for theUnited States Congress to demand free time for a political forum on every television channel once aweek for four weeks previous to the final election. The candidates might be questioned by a panel orcarry on a debate, he said, but would not be allowed to propagandize in the stunts that sell politiciansCINEMA CITY VIKING I Starts UIRRRâ‚¬n B6RTTV and G0LDI6 HAWfl in (Dollars) Produced bv m.d.FRttDHOVICH Written and _ _ _ _ D,rected by RICHARD BROOKS Distributed by COLUMBIAPICTURES 111 Also On This Program TakeA^irl Like\bu now but are banned from soap commercials.Even after we have full disclosure of campaign financing and lobbyist expenses through access toelected officials' financial affairs and government records, we won't have solved the problem, Durningsaid.

The six-minute news show is created and produced in the broadcast recording studio in Old Main 308C. The students are divided in two groups. One group is the technical crew while the other group is responsible for the content of the program. At the beginning of the quarter, the students decide what the format of the program will be and what their involvement in the production will be. Alden Smith,a member of the speech department who teaches the class, tries to find out the individual interests ofthe students in the class. " A l t h o u g h they all participate in all aspects of production, some are more interested in the technical side, some in the gathering of copy, others in announcing," he said. Thestudent has a chance to cultivate his special interest through practical experience. Each newsbroadcast has a p r o g r a m director who co-ordinates the program. He is assisted by a newsman, who writes and announces the copy, and an interviewer, who sets up the interviews and helps edit copy.During each broadcast there is a student commentary p r o d u c e d with Smith's assistance."Conferring with me is not a censorship thing," Smith said. "We just discuss the best way to present the copy." The technical crew, consisting of two engineers, a traffic man and a board engineer, tapes theprogram and assists in the last-minute editing and re-writing of copy. Smith tries to simulate actualrecording situations. "It is important to work under the pressure of real circumstances," he said. Thetape is edited, duplicated and distributed to the five radio stations that carry the program. The broadcaststudio has three rooms, the control room and two production rooms. The Students from the speechdepartment create another audio delight in the broadcast studio in Old Main. Photo by RICHCOLLINGWOOD equipment in the control room initially grew out of discards from local radio stations,but within the last seven or eight years the studio has accumulated $ 7 , 0 0 0 worth of new equipment. "We have fine equipment here," Smith said. "All we need is a transmitter." Transmission from the studio would be expensive because a license, a record library and full-time staff would be required, accordingto Smith. Smith, who worked on c o m m e r c i a l radio in Connecticut, wants his students to getpractical experience. The radio program was not produced on a regular basis until six years ago, whenSmith came to Western. Seeing the need for theory as well as practical job training, Smith beganworking mainly with KPUG and then expanded the program to include other stations. "Although it takesa week or two to get oriented at the beginning of each quarter, we produce our weekly show and theweek-end documentary regularly," he said. Smith has made available other opportunities for thoseinterested in a broadcasting career. Last year he set up a work-study program in which students areplaced in local radio stations. Depending on the station's policy, the student usually assists in differentaspects of the program production. The campus news program is not directed primarily toward thecampus. The criteria for newsworthy material is anything of interest to the general public. "We are tryingto break down some of the barriers that exist between the people of the community and those on thehill," he said. "We want to counteract the ugly image." Smith wants the community to realize there areworthwhile programs and activities to participate in on campus. "We hope this program will change thecollege's poor image and give students some practice in broadcasting." Campus crimes demandbadges for Security Western's Department of Safety and Security may need to become a commissioned department in order to handle the growing college community and the growing possibility of seriouscampus crimes, according to R.G. Peterson, director of Safety and Security. P e t e r s o n maintained, however, that tl generally speaking there is no immediate need for the change." He pointed out that thesecurity department is "working under a handicap, because we are not commissioned, and we have nopower of arrest. A commissioned department has the power of arrest." The security department must,at this time, work in conjunction with the Bellingham Police Department which makes any officialarrests. Peterson said that so far this system has worked very well, but he wondered if they would beable to handle the problem in the fiitufe.;///.'.'â€¢'-'-'â€¢'â€¢'â€¢'â€¢'â€¢"â€¢"â€¢'â€¢'â€¢'â€¢ â€¢ Peterson said that before security became a commissioned department, it was necessary to train his officers in a "better law enforcement prodecure." "Before you put the power of arrest in the hands of a person, theymust be capable of handling that responsibility," he said.

Speaking "for the schoolonly as one of the other members would speak for the school," Dean Ken Freeman gave his opinionsand o bservations on Fairhaven's goals, intentions and progress. The following are excerpts from theinterview: Front: Why was Fairhaven founded? Freeman: A considerable amount of research in the past couple of years points out that it is better to have small colleges than big ones. For example, when yougo above about 1,500, the problem of bigness begins to cost you money; and so a college of 2,000 ismore expensive to run than two colleges of 1,000. I think there is a great deal to be said just fordiversifying a campus, and Fairhaven is a step in that direction. It is much easier to be flexible if youhave a small campus. We can conceive, evaluate and reject something in the course of a year, whereason a larger campus it takes much longer. By being small we can be much more responsive to studentneeds, and I think there was a strong historical thrust to create a much more intimate environment. Thatcertainly has been realized. Front: How many students are at Fairhaven? Freeman: 509. Front: WasFairhaven always intended to be innovative? Freeman: Yes. Front: How does it measure up to thoseintentions? Freeman: Many things now done at Western, conference courses, contract learning,interdisciplinary majors, various things you now find in dorms, were begun at Fairhaven. My guess is you have national trends, national currents, and Fairhaven responded to them a bit earlier than the largercolleges. F r o n t : Is Fairhaven nationally recognized as being innovative? Freeman: Yes, to asurprising extent. There has been no attempt to send the name of Fairhaven out, but some how theword is creeping out that it's possible to get a good, free wheeling kind of education here. Front: Do youknow of any similar colleges? Business-econ advice urged With a limited number of course openingsnext fall, majors in business-economics are strongly urged to seek scheduling advisement in theirdepartment. H o w a r d E. Mitchell, chairman of the business-economics department, cited highenrollment expectations for next year as the reason he has improved his advisement facilities. It is vitalfor majors, he said, to obtain "more complete information as to when they should be taking theircourses." An outline of course requirements for majors and prerequisite relationships, along withindividual academic counseling, is available at Mitchell's office, 216 Edens Hall. KENNETH FREEMANFreeman: There wouldn't be more than a dozen. I think the state of Washington is genuinely unique inhaving two state supported innovative colleges. (The Evergreen State College in Olympia is the other.)Front: There are two main criticisms of Fairhaven. How do you respond, first, to the charge thatFairhaven is elitist? Freeman: If we clearly limit our enrollment to 600, as we do, in that sense we aregoing to be elitist. As long as we have more people wanting to get in than we have space for, we aregoing to be selective. I think if by elitist one means we deliberately cater to the upper class, with thosepeople with astronomically high I.Q.'s, no, that's just not the case. Our students come from the aboutthe same range of social and economic classes as you find at Western. They tend to do a little higheron standard indices of academic ability, but I'm not so sure that's terribly important. I do not consider itan honors college. Front: How do you respond to the criticism that Fairhaven does not have a standarda c a d e m i c program and environment? Freeman: It's not a standard academic environment. I thinkthe state has a decided stake and responsibility to be probing and seeking alternate ways of educatingits citizens. Also I think the state has definite responsibilities, not just for satisfying the job demands ofcertain industry, but also to speak to and enhance the quality of human life. Front: Have you had anyproblems with state agencies or with Western? Freeman: There are people who do not like Fairhavenand wish it would go away. I think for the most part it is an accepted part of the academic scenery.Front: Why does a student choose Fairhaven, and what kind of student will he be? Freeman: I think onevery frequent reason for choosing Fairhaven is that at Fairhaven a student can assume far moreresponsibility for structuring his education than he can at a regular college. Also, its possible to workmore closely with professors at Fairhaven and to do a great deal more of your work on independentstudy at Fairhaven. I think those by no means exhaust the question. Front: What is the students'reaction to the relative freedom when the get here? Freeman: I would assume that if you had 12 years ofvery structured education, and you s u d d e n l y get into an environment that allows you a of socialand freedom, that it you a period of adjustment. That is not nearly as pronounced as I would expect.And my guess is that we would be doing our job better if there were a more marked period ofadjustment. Front: How much voice do the students have in running the college? Freeman: As much asthey want. The governance is set up at every point so that it is highly influenced, if not potentiallycontrolled, by. student input. For the most part, they do not wish to get involved. Front: What about theliving arrangements of the college buildings itself? What influence has this had? Freeman: The collegewas founded on the basis of a model learning-living community that would not make a distinctionbetween the curricular and the extracurricular. (The residency requirement reflects this.) I would like tosee a couple of dorms converted for the use of senior citizens, to have older students move in here, andto have people not connected with the college paying rent and using the space so you are not. set apart from the larger society but are a functioning community in itself. Front: Where does Fairhaven go now? Freeman: We take very seriously the question "What is the best way going about college educationthat we can devise," and then constantly work at that question as our insights change, as our clientelechanges, trying to keep that at the fore. There is no way to predict in advance where that's going to goas you try to create a situation in which energies can be released rather than truncated. Then we-standback and watch. Front: It's open ended then? Freeman: Yes, and very deliberately so in that if Fairhaven should get to the point that it is year after year looking very much the same, I for one, would be verydisappointed. We have a long way to go before we can work out the conceptual problems in basingeducation on student needs and student aspirations. It seems that is the center of our education. greatdeal intellectual would take Blue Spruce Laundromat 1920 KING ST.

The two teams traded baskets in overtime until Eastern had the ball out of bounds with seven seconds left. The Vik defense thenforced the Savages' Darryl Harris to take a desperation shot from 25-feet which fell off the rim into thearms of Thomas. However, Bradley was called for holding Buss and the cool Eastern senior sank thefirst shot and missed the second, but after Western got the rebound the clock had run out. The foul onBradley was his fifth. Buss finished the game with 20 points, followed by Hayden with 16. Gary Whiteled Western scorers with 19, while Mike Franza had 16 and Thomas finished with 10. The lead changed hands 15 times and was tied 12 times. The following night in La Grande, Ore., Western jumped to anearly lead and held it for the win in its finale. Bradley finished the game with a season high 22 points tolead all scorers. The 6-1 junior hit 10 of 16 field goal attempts and two of three from the line. The contestsaw 45 personal fouls and five technical fouls called. Three of the technicals were called on Viking coach Chuck Randall, causing him to be ejected from the game with 45 seconds left. All of Randall'stechnicals came in the final two minutes, and were the first received by a Western team this season.Randall left the game with a broad grin. EOC also was nipped as players Jim Gryback and Jim Archerwere also whistled down for excessive conversation with the officials. Only one player fouled out, thatbeing Western's Roger Fuson with 15:43 left in the game. Gary White followed Bradley with 12 pointsand Franza and reserve forward Chip Kohr scored 11 each.

The Sporting Word By KENT SHERWOOD The weekend that isn't Somehow, this weekend is going to seem toWestern, sports fans like running to the swimming pool for a quick dip and taking a long, graceful twoand one half gainer dive, only to find that someone has drained the pool. After two months of action,weekend after weekend, and with games even in between, and some of the biggest contests yet tocome, there are (are you ready for this?) absolutely no games in anything today or tomorrow. It looked as if the empty period would be saved by a wrestling match tonight with Seattle Pacific College. Butbecause of the numerous high school tournaments, an official could not be found, so Vik mat coachLanny Bryant called the match off.

Monday the Savages play St. Martin's College in Cheney,and Wednesday they travel to Spokane to play Whitworth. Both teams were in the running for a playoffberth until last week.
