Robert Ross has been Western's president nearly four years. Now, according to university policy, Ross will be evaluatedby the Board of Trustees. Graduate School Dean Samuel Kelly, who is assisting the trustees with theevaluation, said 200 questionnaires soon will be sent to a cross-section of the university community toassess Ross' performance as Western's chief administrative officer. That cross-section will includesenior administrative officers, department chairpersons, present and past Associated Studentpresidents and some present board members, a sampling of junior and senior faculty, andrepresentatives from the Western Foundation, the Alumni Association and the community. While thequestionnaires are to be submitted anonomously, respondents will be asked to identify the segment ofthe university community they represent, Kelly said. The questionnaires will be summarized andforwarded, along with the originals, to Trustee Chairman James Waldo. Members of the universitycommunity who do not receive questionnaires but are interested in contributing to the evaluation areinvited to send letters concerning Ross' performance to Waldo. Letters can be sent to Waldo at Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell 2101 One Union Square, Seattle, Wa. 98101. Kelly said the invitation will "open up" the evaluation process to those of Western's 10,000 member community who do not receivequestionnaires. Questionnaires and ietters should be received before the end of fall quarter, but Kellysaid he would prefer they be sent by the end of November to speed up the evaluation process. Ross'evaluation probably will be completed during winter quarter, he said. The evaluation process is beginning now, Kelly said, so it can be completed during the academic year when faculty and students are oncampus. Students' perceptions surveyed As many as 800 Western students may complete aconfidential questionnaire designed to reveal their perceptions about the quality of education Westernprovides. Students will participate in the university-funded study Nov. 11,12 and 13 in Lecture Hall 3. The 5-year research project, now in its second year, examines learning perceptions of the same group ofstudents each year to detect any changes in attitudes regarding quality of education. The objective of the project is to help faculty develop educational strategies to meet students' needs more effectively, saidresearch director Joan Sherwood, who formerly served as vice president of Student Affairs. "The climateis right for changes in the academic sector," Sherwood said. "There seems to be a national feeling thatcollege doesn't effectively meet sf utferiâ€¢'t'sxn,eetrs: W'e warrt r/o"'k ho w'ribw stud e'nts- feel about it." Sherwood got the idea for the project from a dissertation written by Marsha Taylor, of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. The completed questionnaires will be sent to Miami University for scoring. Researchersthere will compare responses with those from last year, using participant's student numbers, not names,for identification. Eight hundred students in social-science classes participated in the study last year. Of those, about 600 returned to Western this year, a number that surprised Sherwood, she said. "Weexpected a 35 percent attrition rate," Sherwood said. "1 would guess returning students'mean GPAmight be higher than average. They might be very highly motivated students." All students whoparticipated in the project last year received invitations to participate this year, regardless of whether they returned to school. Students are asked what they believe the key is to doing well in college courses,what methods instructors use that are most effective and how much student-instructor interaction in theclassroom is most beneficial. While Sherwood hopes the project will improve the quality of educationat Western, she said she sees no indication that students are dissatisfied with current curricula."Students I've talked to tell me they are very happy with what they are getting," she said. Lobbyingnetwork unites alumni advocates B|Â§Iichaet Sf Smith Sl(^y gt;epqft0y^y^^^^ When the StateLegislature reconvenes in January, Western's Alumni Office expects to have a revamped lobbyingnetwork ready for action. For the past five years the office has coordinated a "loose" lobbying network of about 25 alumni. But Alumni Office Director Chris Goldsmith said he expects to expand the networkto include about 500 alumni by January, with 10 to 20 in each legislative district. These alumniadvocates will telephone legislators in their district on behalf of Western whenever issues of importanceto the school arise in the Legislature. "It just makes sense to use this resource," Goldsmith said. "TheAlumni Board of Directors believes Western alumni are a force to be reckoned with politically. A lot ofalumni â€” voters â€” care what happens to Western and legislators ought to know that." The AlumniOffice has the names and addresses of about 36,000 alumni on a computer file. Goldsmith used thecomputer to go through the list of names and identify alumni by legislative district. Four staff members started calling alumni last week, asking them to participate in the network. Already 25 alumni in eight districts have committed help. Calling will continue, one night a week, until the target number is reached. "So far people seem very happy (and) more than willing to get involved," Goldsmith said. Al Froderberg, special assistant to the president for state government relations, will work closely with the networkthrough the Alumni Office. He will ensure Goldsmith or someone in the Alumni Office's LegislativeCommittee knows when the Legislature will consider an issue important to Western and what standthe school will take. The Alumni Office then will contact key alumni advocates in each district who, inturn, will call other advocates in their district. Then all the advocates will call their legislators. If alumniadvocates disagree with Western's position on an issue, they could choose not to call legislators,Froderberg said. "But we would hope they wouldn't call their legislatures and take a stand against us,"he said. Sometimes, on complicated issues, Froderberg will write a brief summary of Western's positionand the Alumni Office will send copies to all the advocates, ideally four to five days before a vote. "I think (the network) will be effective," Froderberg said. "This will show legislators that an awful lot of peoplefeel Western deserves better, that legislators need to take more responsibility for the school's needs." ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 HEC studies may influence fundin By MichaelS.Smith staff reporter The State Legislature in January will discuss two key issues pertinent toWestern's budget. Its decisions concerning funding for instructional support and salaries may beinfluenced by two studies, Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, said. A comparison of faculty and. admin-tra tor's salaries at peer universities throughout the country is conducted each year by the Higher Education Coordinating Board. Froderberg said peer schools are selected in states that arereasonably close to Washington, taking into account such factors as population, the economy andcitizens' income. Western's peer schools are Northern Arizona University, California State Universityat Chico, California State University at Hayward, Western Illinois University, University of NorthernIowa, Northern Michigan University and Portland State University. Its study, Froderberg said, showedthat Western is 10.6 percent behind its peers in salaries. Even further behind their peers, CentralWashington University lags 15 percent in salaries and Eastern Washington University lags 23 percent. The nine-member HEC Board was appointed by the governor for the task of developing a Master Plan forhigher education. This plan is likely to influence the state's policy concerning admissions, funding andthe role and mission of each university. As a result of its study, the HEC Board in Septemberrecommended the Legislature implement a two-stage pay increase for faculty during the 1987-89biennium. The $135.4 million increase would adjust faculty salaries to those of peer schools. The otherstudy will compare funding of instructional support, such as libraries and computers. He saidinstructional support probably wasn't compared in the past because it is such a big undertaking. Itrequires thorough examination of eight budgets, including Western's, before any comparisons canbe made. "The Governor's Office of Management and Budget initiated the idea," Froderberg said."They decided it would be worth it to get a clearer picture of how our schools compare to their peers." An educational consulting firm called the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems isdoing the study, Froderberg said. Results should be available in two to three weeks. Froderberg saidhe doesn't expect the CHRIS BALDWIN study to show Western to be adequately funded in relation toother universities. He said Washington has severely cut instructional support funds since 1981, whileother schools have-increased funding in that area. The comparisons are important because theyprovide the Legislature with documented evidence of Western's need for additional funding, Froderbergsaid. Building and maintenance funding, important topics for Western, won't be included in thecomparison studies, he said. Acquiring funds to remodel the current Art/Tech Buildingand toconstructanew science building are top capital facilities issues for Western, he said. The maintenance (orequipment) budget, he said, is strained to the point where the school is barely able to maintain andrepair equipment, including the computers. "If we got more funds to buy computers we would really behard-pressed," he said. "What good arc new computers if you can't take care of them." Western alsowants the state to raise its enrollment lid. Froderberg said. In an October 17 Front story Western'sadmissions director Richard Rich! said the university stopped accepting applications from incomingfreshmen and transfer students October 10. Western has asked the Legislature to raise the lid by 150Full-Time-Equivalent students each year through 1989. Equity with the other regional universities â€”Central and Eastern â€” is another important topic, Froderberg said. During the '70s the Legislature cutbudgets at regional universities. Eastern and Central cut their instructional budgets, but Western cut itsbudget elsewhere. Eventually, funding was restored to Eastern and Central's instructional budgets.Western, however, didn't receive any new money. Later, when the regional universities were given newmoney, Eastern and Central often used it to hire more faculty. Western, though, often used its moneyto raise the salaries of its veteran faculty. This resulted in Western having the highest (24.1 to I) student-to-teacher ratio of the three. Eastern's is 18.5 to 1 and Central's is 19.2 to I. "We think this should becorrected," Froderberg said. But it has to do with Western being on a par with its peer schools infunding, rather than with Eastern and CentraK he said. "If Western's funding were equal to its peerschools, the equity question probably would be resolved," Froderbersz said. if AMERICAN CANCERSOCIETY" Help us keep winning PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

Sidles said themanager's position has been split into two jobs for more than a year and he also requested the boardrevise the pay schedule from an hourly rate to a quarterly salary of $600 for each position. The title ofoperations manager would be replaced by facilities manager and personnel manager, and bothemployees would report to the Recycle Center Coordinator. The division and reclassification of themanager's position will have no effect on the Recycling Center's budget, Sidles said. As it is now,Sidles said, "there's a great deal of confusion." The recycle center employees currently receive astarting pay of $3.95 per hour, with a 10 cent per hour raise after three quarters of employment, Sidlessaid. He said if a student filling either position were to work 16 hours a week â€” the maximum allowedby the university, the total earnings would be the same. "1 thought it would probably be moreappropriate to bring them to salary," Sidles said. "1 think that the $600 salary level is appropriate." Thebudget currently allows for two management positions: Sidles at $750 per quarter and the operationalmanager's. The benefit to the people filling the reclassified positions would be increased status andmaybe a shift in hours, as they already are performing management functions with financial andpersonnel responsibilities, he said. The board is scheduled to vote on the revised job description atits meeting next Wednesday. In other AS business: The board endorsed an upcoming Salvation Armyfood drive and is offering a $25 prize to the student organization collecting the most food. The SalvationArmy is seeking student volunteers to take part in the Walk and Knock food drive scheduled for Nov.15. Nursing program is ailing By Jerry Tegarden Despite a 1986 state-wide study indicating nursingwill be the most demanded skill in the Pacific Northwest by the year 2000, the future of Western'snursing program is uncertain. In October, Nursing Program Chairwoman Karen Moren met with nursingeducators and health professionals from throughout the country during conferences dealing withquestions about the profession. Moren traveled to Washington, D.C. last month for a conferencesponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The conference focused on the change in nursing to higher levels of education, such as an associate degree R.N., as entry requirements to theprofession. The other meeting, in Seattle, was sponsored by the Council for Nursing Educators inWashington. Officials at all levels of nursing discussed the emerging emphasis on higher educationalrequirements. Moren said Western's Bachelor of Science in Nursing is the only other publicly fundedprogram in Western Washington besides the program at the University of Washington. "On a state level I found that there is support for this program, that there is a need for continuing this type of program,"Moren said. One reason for the need to continue Western's program, Moren said, is the difficulty ofgetting into the UW's program. "There are a fair number of private universities with a program similar toours. Of course the tuition here is a lot less than in a private school." The nursing program advisoryboard last week formed a committee with the task of developing proposals for Moren to present toWestern's administration by the end of November. The administration has indicated a willingness toconsider any proposals the advisory board and Moren can suggest, she said. "Even though we have a lotof support from the state and national organizations and the medical community, it may not be enough,"Moren said. LAURA TOWEY "1 think the whole issue comes down to administrative support forfunding here. The school may close down if we don't come up with some other options." According to areport by the Puget Sound Higher Education Consortium, the increased demand for nurses in the PugetSound area will be 10,000 in 14 years. Participants surveyed included officials from Western, UW,Central Washington University, Pacific Lutheran University and other Pacific Northwest universities. Thesix-year-old program receives about five inquiries a week from people interested in applying to theprogram at Western, Moren said. After 24 juniors entered the program this fall. Western suspendedenrollment because of a lack of state funding. The program is not closed, but applications will not beaccepted until at least 1990, the year when its accreditation expires. Moren said her office probablywould publish a statement listing concerns about the suspension and the possible end of the program.Some schools are considering sending petitions to Western's community. Moren suggested lettersshould be mailed to Western President G. Robert Ross. A copy also should be sent to Moren.

Connie Copeland, assistant to the vice president of Student Affairs, said themain objective is to educate Western's community about the issues and illegality of sexual harassment.Sexual harassment can happen to male students as well as females, she added. Maurice Bryan,Affirmative Action coordinator, will help publish the pamphlet, which Copeland hopes to distribute thisschool year. Two or three students also will be involved in writing the flyer, she added. "Education is thebest way for prevention." Copeland said. "It is less likely to happen if people in the environment areconcerned about it." According to Western's policy, sexual harassment occurs when someone in aposition of power or authority promises grades or other academic or work-related rewards to a student inexchange for sexual relations. Sexual harassment also occurs if the person in power subjects thestudent to unwanted sexual attention, verbally or physically, in the educational or work environment.Sexual harassment is anything from sexist jokes and innuendos to inappropriate advances toacademic rewards or punishments involving sexual conduct to sex crimes, Copeland said. CONNIECOPELAND Drawing attention to sexual harassment is "something we've wanted to do for a longtime," Copeland said. "Western has a good policy but there hasn't been enough education (on thesubject)." Sexual harassment only recently has become an issue on university campuses. It was notdeemed inappropriate until the mid 70s, she said, and was not defined as discriminatory until 1980.Because sexual discrimination is a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, universities had to adoptpolicies and establish ways to address the issue. Copeland said. "There was a definite need for awritten policy," she said. Western's Board of Trustees adopted a policy for Western on Feb. 3, 1983.The policy set a standard investigation process for all sexual harassment complaints reported bystudents. The policy outlines the procedural stages beginning by referring the student to Copeland forinformal advice. To file a formal investigation, the student issues a signed complaint to the AffirmativeAction Office, which assesses the allegation. If the complaint warrants an investigation, it is forwardedto the appropriate vice president, who notifies the accused of the allegation and determines the course of action. The decision may be appealed to the Student Academic Grievances Board. At no time duringthe procedure is the student's name used without consent and the student is protected by the universityagainst retaliation. Before this policy was established, complaints were handled case by case, Copeland said. The number of incidents at Western is typical of other universities, she said. "From my informalcontact with students, we fit'the national norms,"she said. According to a booklet published by theProject on the Status and Education of Women last April, nationwide research revealed up to 30 percentof all female college students experience some form of sexual harassment. Two percent of femalestudents are directly threatened or bribed for sexual favors. The booklet contained no statisticalinformation concerning number of sexual harassment cases reported. On a campus of Western's size,these numbers translate to 3,000 and 200 victims, respectively. Western has not conducted anyresearch on campus statistics, Copeland said. She said Western has no plans to conduct one at thistime. Copeland said she sees one or two students each quarter who have harassment complaints.Copeland said the complaints range from "jokes (made in lectures) to physical involvement." Thestudents who have visited Copeland to complain about sexual harassment include three men, shesaid. "It's important to realize men are offended by sexist comments, too," Copeland said. At leastone student has filed a formal complaint since the policy was initiated in 1983, she said. Mostcomplaints are dealt with informally through the Student Affairs Office, she said, as the objective is tostop the behavior, not to punish the harasser. Copeland said students who have experienced sexualharassment may become scared and blame themselves for the incident. She said if people talk aboutit and start to ask questions, they may discover other people have become offended, too. Copelandemphasized the importance of discussing the issues. She suggested people also should talk to residentaides, friends, co-workers or faculty members. Students also can seek advice from the AS Women'sCenter or the Affirmative Action office. fWrnig^a^^SK^KJSElL.iMhi: gg IMllSJTSgXMBuSi THE BUSCOMPANY Now there's a new Bus Company in town In the Bellingham Mall next to Great HarvestBread Co.

The Vikings earned the trip to the nationals, which begins next Thursday, by placing third atthe NAIA District 1 regional meet last Saturday. The trip, including airfare, lodging, food and groundtransportation for Coach Ralph Ver-nacchia and seven runners, will cost about $3,000. The sevenrunners competing in the national meet are Brad Alexander, Steve Tollan, Neal Sherry, Brad Adams,Matt Ruhl, Hugh Webber and John Belsher. The group will leave Nov. 13, compete Nov. 15 and return to Bellingham the next day. The funds will be appropriated from the DRAC national travel budget, whichhas nearly $ 14,000 appropriated for fall quarter. The travel budget primarily is used to pay expenses forWestern students traveling to national competitions. But the budget also may be used for regional travel expenses. Athletic Director Boyde Long, a member of DRAC, made the request for the money on behalf of the cross country team. In other business during its second meeting of fall quarter DRAC re-electedChairwoman Tina Brinson. Also discussed was the nomination of four students for the Services andActivities Fee Committee. At least one student of the four nominated by DRAC . will serve on the feecommittee. The fee committee recommends the distribution of S A fees among DRAC, theAssociated Students and Housing and Dining.

Or at least that's the sailing team's goal. "Racing the Flying Scots was likedriving someone else's car. It took us awhile to get the seat adjusted," skipper Mark Harang said ofWestern's three-man sailing team's performance at the recent Intercollegiate Sloop Championships inDetroit. Harang, a senior from Seattle majoring in technology, along with juniors Erik Hauge and AndySchwenk maneuvered their 20-foot sloop through the paces of the regatta last weekend. This was thefirst time the three shipmates, who also share a house, had sailed together in actual competition.They admitted finding it difficult to make headway with the Scots, a type of sloop none of them hasnavigated or even seen up close before. The Viking sailors typically race 14- foot dinghies and found thelarger Scots to be much more cumbersome and slow. But all vessels provided for use in regattas must be the same, Harang said. "Sailing is people against people, not boat against boat," Harang said. TheVikings' speed was not impressive throughout the first day. Gear breakage in the first, second and fourthraces slowed them down. Disappointed by the mechanical problems, Harang said, "It wasn't like wewere going to win otherwise. It was a higher caliber of sailing than we're used to." By the final day of theregatta, however, the crew of Vikings managed to haul in a second and a third place and missedwinning the final race by "mere inches." Schwenk said. Schwenk added that collegiate sailing is "ascompetitive as hell. You could sail without a single mistake and still not be able to win." Dave Lutz. aneducation major with two years on the sailing team, emphasized competition fine tunes skills moreeffectively. Hauge agreed, adding "We learned a lot more last weekend than we have in a longer period of regular practices." The Detroit regatta's seven races gave each team the opportunity to sail every boat.Western competed against crews representing Springhill, Navy, Stanford, the University of Michigan,Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Gollege of Charlestown, ranked number one in sailing last year. All teams raced with three crew members, but most of the schools competing at last week'sraces brought along surplus crews. This allowed the teams to mix and match their members to achievethe most advantageous weight combinations, Hauge said. "We were a little heavy," Hauge said.Western could afford only to send three men to the regatta and had to leave their coach, Jeff Davis, athome. The Vikings compete in the Northwest District of the Intercollegiate Yacht Racing Association.Western is one of 14 schools in the district encompassing Washington, Oregon and British Columbia.Sailing is a club sport at Western and university funding to the club amounts to approximately $900 ayear, Lutz said. Some East Coast schools invest thousands of dollars in their sailing teams. The team is seeking funding from private backers, such as the Sailing Foundation in Seattle and plans to stageseveral fund-raisers. The Western sailors agreed the Northwest has a potential for important sailingregattas, but they don't believe sailing is stressed in the Northwest as strongly as it is on the East coast. Most of the prestigious regattas are .sailed on the East coast or in California, Harang said. The Vikings have tied down wins in KRISTI MOEN Crew Karee Loghry takes a dip in Lake Whatcom as skipper ErikHauge maneuvers the Alpha in light winds during practice Wednesday. each elimination regatta they'vecompeted in and are 4-0 in district competition. Hauge, Schwenk, Lutz and Harang agreed that theteams from Lewis and Clark, the University of Victoria and the University of Washington consistentlyprovide their stiffest competition. During the Thanksgiving break, Harang, Hauge and their crew, AndreaHenderson and Karee Loghry, will travel to Chicago to compete in one of the most prestigious races inthe country, the Timme Angsten Regatta. They won the right to race in Chicago when they beat nineother teams in elimination races in Victoria, B.C. on Oct. 25 and 26. The four express a desire todevelop depth of skill among all members of the team, not just in the top crew. The team gradually hasimproved during the past three years, Lutz said. This season's team is the strongest Western hasassembled. "We want to develop a strong base for continuing success for the future and welcomenewcomers," Lutz said. The Vikings hope to qualify for Dinghy Nationals this year at the MerchantMarines Academy in Kingsport, N.Y. They also will be sailing for the J.F. Kennedy Cup Memorial Regatta at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. By attending more and more national regattas, they hope toachieve a national ranking one day. Harang will be competing in a Laser class single-handed regatta inAlabama Nov. 14-16 against teams from 16 others schools. v Last year. Harang captured 10th place of16 in this competition sailed in Hawaii. The regatta is moved to a different location each year.Western's district is the only one with sailboard regattas, and this weekend the Vikings will host the"Psychedelic Rasta Board Regatta. Part II" on Lake Whatcom. Races will begin at 9 a.m. onSaturday and run until it gets dark, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. the next day.

For some reason, Reagan thinks theStrategic Defense Initiativeâ€”Star Warsâ€”is worth such a lost opportunity. But America's scientificcommunity is trying to tell the president to come back down to planet Earth. The Cornell Institute forSocial and Economic Research released a survey this week indicating the scientists who would build the space defense don't think it would work. Ninety-eight percent of a cross section of National Academy ofScience members said Star Wars probably wouldn't stop enough incoming Soviet missiles to safelydefend American populations. Eighty-one percent said the chances are poor to extremely poor that StarWars can be made cost effective, as Reagan claims it can. Only 10 percent support the program. Eighty-five percent said Reagan hasn't listened to scientists enough regarding the feasibility of SD1. If thepresident's ignorance of the facts didn't have such broad ranging and life-threatening consequences, wecould joke about Reagan's hear-no-evil pose. As it stands though, we'd better hope the scientists insisttheir voices are heard. And when the scientists who refuse to build Reagan's new suit of armor tell us the"Great Communicator" has no clothes, perhaps we ought to listen. Education needs critical thought Arecent report by the Carnegie Foundation entitled "College: the Undergraduate Experience in America,"seems to imply the questionâ€”whatever happened to critical thought as a goal of education? Conflictingpressures and demands have confused the goals of many universities, the report states. It quotes amidwest college president, "It's all right to talk about liberal arts goals but we have to face up to whatstudents want today." With today's emphasis on specific job skills many university departments are littlemore than vocational training schools. They bear little resemblance to the liberal arts schools of the past. What sort of education do we get at Western? It appears from Western's published three-year objectives that this university is more concerned with meeting the needs of business and industry than providingstudents a quality education and teaching them to think. With the kinds of crises facing the worldtodayâ€”threats of nuclear war, economic collapse and environmental degradationâ€”it seems the mostimportant asset a college graduate could have is a broad education and the ability to think critically.The Carnegie report states, "This nation and the world need well-informed, inquisitive, open-minded youngpeople who are both productive and reflective, seeking answers to life's most important questions." Thestudent, of course, bears a portion of the responsibility for his or her own education. But, more often itseems students are cranked through the system without time to think or wonder or question theinformation being thrown at them. Ernest L. Boyer, president of the Carnegie Foundation, writes, "Manyof the nation's colleges and universities are more successful in credentialing than in providing a qualityeducation for their students." Any one university cannot be everything to everbody, but a direction anda goal are important. The report states, "A quality college is guided by a clear and vital mission."Critical thinking is not absent from Western, but the student must dig it out. It is not a required course.Education is the foundation of a free, democratic society. Critical thought is one measure of the quality ofthat education. â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢I Brian Malvey, editor-in chief â€¢ Niels Nokkentved,managing editor Juli Bergstrom, news editor â€¢ Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistantnews editors "Mark Connolly, opinion editor â€¢ Kristi Moen, sports editor â€¢ Brian Bean, assistantsports editor â€¢ Judy Averill, A CCENT editor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor â€¢ Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager â€¢Dan Tyler, photo editor Chris Baldwin, Mike Carroll, graphic artists Lyle Harris, adviser The Front is theofficial newspaper of Western Washington University.

I magine seeing the smiling face of Pope John Paul II on Sundaymornings saying Latin mass. Cable Vatican? The Vatican needs a cable channel in the United States.Maybe the Vatican could call the channel PopeTV, and give two reports an hour on the Polish Pontiffwith contemporary Catholic New Age artist George Michael Talbot playing guitar music in thebackground. I believe the Pontiff could even give daily sermons from his pulpit in the Vatican. Ofcourse he'd have to change his attire to suit the tastes of pray TV viewers and its addicts. 'TheWillamette Week' in Portland, Oregon, ran a column ou people's favorite tele-vangelists. If the Pope hada cable channel, or even a weekly show, I'm sure many people would write the 'Willamette Week'saying their favorite was John Paul II instead of Tammy Bakker of the PTL (Praise The â€¢Igllll iiiiliiiiiliLord) Club. The Pope has stiff competition from Bakker. She has bodacious ta-tas and cries lots whenasking for "bookoo" bucks for the Christian Broadcasting Network and assorted, sordid ministries. ThePolish Pontiff cannot cry on PopeTV since he is not a big breasted woman in a ministerial positionbegging folks for cash. John Paul disapproves of women in ministerial positions who cry and he mustmaintain a macho Catholic sincerity. Strike one. John Paul also can't wear gallons of Amway make-up or show any compassionate tendencies because people might question his sexuality. The Popecondemned homosexual acts on October 30 and might be considered hypocritical if he wore partydresses and rouge like Bakker. Strike two. Tammy Bakker also sings more insipid Protestant hymnsthan the Pope. John Paul II sings in Polish or Latin, and pray television addicts misinterpreteverything foreign other than "schmuck." The Polish Pontiff could attempt Kyrie by Mr. Mister, butwhy bother? Strike three. Maybe Tammy Bakker is the best televangelist after all. Bodacious ta-tas,pancake mascara, and sincere tears make a better TV evangelist. Maybe the Pope should keep hismouth shut. He doesn't have the star power of a Bakker, or a Gene Scott, or even a Jimmy Swaggart.Maybe if he wore polyester . . . PopeTV. Praise Rome! Made in our own image Campaigns stuck in themud T his fall politics wallowed in mud and money. Campaigning leading up to the Nov. 4 electionswas marked, perhaps marred, by pervasive personal attacks and attempts at character assassination by candidates upon their opponents. Potshots were fired across paid TV and newspaper advertisements more often than not. This image-bashing was even reflected in the cultural mirror of Doonesbury, whereol' Lacey Davenport is running for Congress, staging a hyper-conscious campaign to come acrossdrug-free and clean in the public eye amidst her opponent's mud-slinging. Who lied? Who's on drugs?Who promised what and never came through? Who's a commie sympathizer? Who's got dirty laundry?Who cares? Perhaps too many of us. Some critics have been insightful enough to point out thatcandidates' stands on the issuesâ€” supposedly the real stuff of politicsâ€”have been buried in this TV and newsprint "image" barrage. Perhaps, though, we haven't yet 'fessed up to the realization that we'regetting only what we deserve. We do, after all, have an actor for president. And sad to say he didn't justbop off the screenâ€” we elected him. Ronald Reagan has so succeeded in making image moreimportant than issue that it's appearing suicidal for political hopefuls to not use the same ploy. He hasshown that you can bumble with policies and misrepresent facts and still be popular, as long as youproject a sincere image, offer easy solutions to complex problems and make people feel good aboutthemselves and America. So when candidates this fall chose to attack one another instead of addressthe issues, it was just the seamier side of the image consciousness that pervades our culture. Andwho can we blame for these tacks but ourselves? Day in and night out we indulge in fantastic images.Advertising and fashion models, professional athletes, rock stars and movie heroes like our ownpresident project cultural ideals we too often literally buy into. Fifty-minute dramas and 30- second sales pitches, cut-and-splice spoon-fed TV dinnertime versions of world news lead us to believe someone else will solve life's difficultiesâ€”or we can just change the channel. To demand that our politiciansaddress the issues, we must first take up the issues ourselves. Care and interest and work, on localissues or state and federal campaigns, bind us to their outcomes. Demanding that our electedofficials, debate issues we're wrapping our lives in would naturally follow our own commitment. Littlepatience would be left in an involved electorate for bickering among the candidates about whether therepublican goes to what church, or did the democrat smoke pot in college. Until then, we can count oninstant replays of this autumn's mud bath. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - Page 7 ---------- Â» FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 7 LETTERS BjaanmHaHHBBBB Writer's writing not writing, right? Western Front: Dear Mark Connolly. What's the matter? Is it that you don't knowwhat to write about, or haven't you done any research? I've read two of your recent columns and stillhaven't been presented with any of your ideas or information on the topics about which you write. You write about writing about things without ever writing about them. Instead of listing all the ongoing butforgotten world conflicts that aren't in fashion anymore, why not dig into one of them and give us somenew ideas and information. Keep them alive if they are so important to you and us. You almost wroteabout the El Salvador bombing campaigns of '83-84 in your Oct. 24 column. But you shifted toemphasize the fact that we don't hear about them. You even write about other people writing about them (or not writing about them). Again I wonder, what about them besides the fact that nobody wrote aboutthem? What about their "visciousness or consequences?" Discuss media coverage with otherjournalists. I would rather get more of your insights into what's happening, more straight information. Just the facts m'am. Otherwise you're doing just what you say the rest of the media are doing. Bob ReinerH)f)U, (XIOBKH .*!, WKS7t:/t\ FROM New program aims toward China Jhi)^:Â«cU,cVt(f;Triim;thi':Coordinator clears up China quote Western Front: Your article of Oct. 31, 1986 on the China TeachingSpecialist Program was informative and basically correct. However, 1 would like to bring to yourattention additional information given during the interview. Although the back door to China does exist, if anyone wants to accomplish things in China, the preferred entrance is through proper channels andprocedure. Of course, personal contacts are helpful, but are not the most important way to China. Ifanything "quoted" in the article was not appropriate for relations between Western Washington University and China, I offer my sincere apologies. Also, if anyone would like to discuss the article with me, Iwould be most happy to do so. Andrea I'ram, Coordinator, International Programs Business back doornot program's point Western Front: A serious bit of misunderstanding has been published in TheWestern Front regarding the China Language Program newly created on this campus. The article(page 3, Friday, Oct. 31) suggests that the thrust of the program is to teach students how to usethe backdoor in doing business in China. This is not so. The program is based on the greatest respect for the government and people of the Peoples' Republic of China. The goal of the China LanguageProgram is to help students understand that system, not to change it or to find "backdoors" to access it. Certainly, the social systems of government and business are different in the P.R.C. than in theU.S. In recognizing these differences, we are, in no way, making judgments. The China LanguageProgram goal is to help our students understand China so that they, and later the companies ororganizations they work for, can build on this knowledge for the benefit of both the P.R.C. and the U.S.Such a mutual benefit can only be based on mutual trust and respect. I am truly sorry any otherinference was conveyed through the article in The Western Front. George Drake, Special Asst. to Pres.for International Programs Teaching in China personal and fun Western Front: As a senior at WWUmajoring in East Asian Studies and having spent last year studying in China, I was quite amused to read your article concerning Ms. Andrea Uram and her CTSP program (Oct. 31). From reading the articleit is made quite obvious that rather than potential applicants, it is Ms. Usram who "entertains romanticnotions" concerning China and the program goals. As a guest lecturer to the program in early October. I talked with a group of five people ranging in age and interests who in my impression wanted to teach English in China out of personal interest and yes, Ms.Uram, even fun. My task was to relate myexperience in China to the group and also to answer questions concerning what to expect, etc . . . I didnot encounter a group who was there to "learn the structure of their professions in China" but rather toacquire a minimal understanding of the Chinese language, culture and history. This aspect, I agree, isuseful to the potential teacher of English in China for there won't be neighborhood 7-1 Is manned byEnglish-speaking in Chongsq-ing. But to infer that upon their return from China that the programparticipant will be a "crucial contact" for organizations wishing to do business with China is ludicrous.Granted, the Chinese don't do business as Americans do, rather they do business on their own termspref-errably using the Chinese language. Western's CTSP program "is the only one of its kind in theworld"and due to the fact that it doesn't guarantee much of anything, will most likely be the last one ofits kind in the world.

One popular form of these synthetic drugs is MDMA, better known on the street as "XTC," "ecstasy" or "Adam." MDMA is an analogue or chemicalcousin of the illegal stimulant MDA, a hallucinogenic amphetamine, which has been around since themid 1960's. MDMA is a derivative of oil of sassafras or oil of nutmeg and was first synthesized in 1914by chemists who were going to use it as an appetite suppressant. The drug comes in a powdered formwhich is usually taken orally, but can also be inhaled or absorbed through the gums like cocaine. Itproduces a euphoric state and has been called an aphrodisiac or "hug drug" according to the August1985 issue of Life magazine. A 1985 issue of Psychology Today said the psychiatric community usedMDMA as a therapeutic drug for patients. Evidently it helped patients relax and broke down emotionaldefenses, allowing them to talk freely about their problems. Some people have experienced negative side effects from a session with ecstasy such as muscle tension, nausea, faintness and chills or sweating. ^s f n ^ D x ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ n ^ p s m h e d XTC in 19lg1|^|^^^^^^^^Slkli ^ i l ed substance.

It's in the teeth. It's in the blood. And it's in the media. Lately,television viewers have been inundated with commercials pushing the need for calcium. Magazines carryadvertisements with drawings of women whose spines are collapsing as they age. Food manufacturers are adding calcium to products such as the soft drink Tab, and informing the world about it throughextensive media campaigns. "It (calcium) is the latest thing," Western's University Nutritionist ShellyZyl-stra said. "A few years ago natural was the thing, but all that means is 'without chemicaladditives.'" Most of the publicity focuses on the dangers of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bonesbecome porous and brittle. It affects one in four women over the age of 60, and is caused primarily byprolonged low calcium intake. "Professional nutritionists have known about osteoporosis for years,"Zylstra "Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that theaccount is closed," Zylstra said. The bones of an osteoporosis victim are highly susceptible to fractures, especially the hip bones. The highly publicized humped spine is caused by the collapse of vertebrae.Osteoporosis cannot be cured, but it can be prevented through exercise and sufficient calcium intakethroughout life. "For the average college student, I'd recommend 1000 milligrams (of calcium) a day, even though the RDA (recommended daily allowance) is only 800," Zylstra said. The televisioncommercials, sponsored by such groups as the Dairy Farmers of Washington, tend to stress dairy foodsas sources of calcium. Although calcium can come from a variety of other sources, Zylstra said milkand milk products are the easiest and most efficient. Three cups of milk a day provide about 900milligrams of calcium, and milk is It's just a hype, but it certainly cant hurt/ said. "We've made itpublic, they've manufactured a need. It's a merchandising technique." Although 99 percent of thebody's calcium is stored in the bones, calcium also is needed for muscle contraction including thebeating heart, blood coagulation, and nerve transmission. If daily intake is insufficient to meet theseneeds, the body will withdraw the calcium stored in the bones. usually fortified with vitamin D. Vitamin Dis necessary for the body to absorb calcium. Some people, however, don't like milk. "College studentsprefer to think beer is better for them," Zylstra said. Those who don't like or can't drink milk can findcalcium in non-dairy foods as well. A three-ounce serving of sardines with bones, for example, has 372milligrams of calcium. A half cup of bokchoy lettuce has 126 milligrams. Blackstrap molasses has 137milligrams of calcium per tablespoon. A whiskey and soda has no calcium. The calcium content of somefoods can be misleading, however. Oxalic acid, present in many high calcium greens, binds with calcium and makes it unusable. "There's all that lovely calcium and it isn't available to the human being," Zyl-"They go out holding hands with a calcium molecule," she said. Nicotine also decreases calciumretention. Calcium supplements are one option for increasing calcium intake. Zylstra recommendscalcium carbonate, available as an ingredient in antacids or in "generic" form. Calcium carbonatecontains 40 percent *Your bones are like a calcium bank. You can make deposits up till age 40, but after that the account is closed/ stra said. Spinach, chard, and beet greens are high in oxalic acid. Caffeinealso affects the body's retention of calcium. Linda Massey of Washington State University said astudy conducted there showed caffeine causes excess excretion of calcium in the urine. Two cups ofcoffee, she said, causes the loss of approximately 30 milligrams of calcium. To counteract the loss, she recommended adding 100 milligrams of calcium to the diet. Consuming an excess of fiber can alsointerfere with calcium absorption, but Zylstra said that is not much of a problem in this country. "You'dhave to be mainlining bran," she said. A bigger problem in this country is excess protein. Zylstra saidthe average American consumes two to three times what is necessary. Waste products generated bytoo much protein draw calcium out of the body. calcium by weight, and is fairly cheap. "A lot of peopleget calcium lactate. I don't know why, it's very expensive."Zylstra said. It also contains only 13 percent calcium by weight. Calcium Gluconate, another expensive supplement, contains only 9 percent.Calcium is flavorless, and easy to add to food. This has led some food manufacturers to capitalize onpublic awareness of osteoporosis by adding calcium to their products. "It's just a hype, but it certainlycan't hurt," Zylstra said of the added calcium. She said it would be nearly impossible to ingest too muchcalcium, but it is easy to overdose on vitamin D. She said it could become a problem if too manyproducts are fortified with vitamin D in addition to calcium. Calcium is cheap, Zylstra said. If calcium-fortified products cost more "1 will come out of my office and start screaming," she said. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 4 ---------- 4 ACCENT WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, N( Women express experiences in Labyrinth By Lori Robinsonassistant editor Labyrinth editors currently are accepting writing and a r t i s t i c submissions, whilehoping to find funding so the magazine can be published. - However, Jean Rodgers, editor of the bi-annual magazine by women for women, said she is confident the magazine will come out, "one way orthe other." The Women's Center began publishing Labyrinth as a newsletter. In the past five years ithas become more of a representation of the Women's Center, and less of a newsletter, Rodgers said.This change of format allows the increased opportunity for women to express themselves in print media,she said. "Women are really under-represented in the published arts." Submissions for Labyrinth varyfrom issue to issue, Rodgers said. She said she would like to publish a variety of women's experiences,from the political to the personal level, anything that concerns women's artistic expressions. "So far,everything that's come in has been poems," Rodgers said, but she said she would like to see Labyrinthcontain poetry, short pieces of fiction, photographs and graphics. ;; "I'd like to leave it pretty broad,"she said, but, "I wouldn't want to print anything detrimental to women." The magazine doesn't acceptsubmissions from men. The magazine was allocated money by the Associated Students in the past,but last year the Activities Council discontinued their budget. The AS discontinued direct funding forLabyrinth because of reorganization of policies and allocations, said Brent Arndt, AS vice-president forActivities. He said the last year's Activities Council wanted Labyrinth to find other funding, such as ad v e r t i s i n g , bef pre they approached the council for funds. Like other AS organizations Labyrinthmust go before the council to request funding for: projects. "They (Labyrinth) could go to the ActivitiesCouncil to ask for funds, through the Women's Center," Arndt said. Funding is possible, "it just dependson the decisions of the council," he said. The magazine editors are trying to find funding through other outlets, including soliciting ads and organizing fundraisers. Rodgers was selected as editor in thebeginning of fall quarter, partially because she explains, "no one else volunteered for the job.'' Rodgerssaid she has been interested in editing Labyrinth for some time, through her experiences as acontributor for the magazine in the past. She currently is a part-time student taking a creative writingclass, and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Rodgers said her work as the editor has allowedher to utilize her degree, as well as train her in editing. The Women's Center is accept-j i j j j i i p ^^Â«^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Â§WÂ§M^iiMXS^^ JEAN RODGERS ing the submissions for Labyrinth, and they are"starting to trickle in," said Tami Brecken-ridge, coordinator of the Women's Center. Submissiondeadline is Dec. 2, for the issue to be published early winter quarter. Women interested in contributing to Labyrinth can contact the Women's Center, Viking Union 211, or leave their pieces in an envelopeoutside the door. People interested in having their submissions returned should include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. "Women are really welcome to send in stuff, that's what it's there for," Rodgerssaid. Pu b l i c a t i o n in Jeopardy, Western's annual literary magazine, can be a good way for writers and artists to get exposure and experience. Connie McCollum, this year's Jeopardy editor, said theexperience can give writers a feel for what it's like to submit works, make revisions and see the finalworks in print. Last year, McCollum submitted an excerpt from her fiction novel, "Rain-daughters." Aftersome revisions the excerpt was published in Jeopardy. "Now, I can see all kinds of places I couldredevelop and re-examine," she said. "The errors really glare." She said Jeopardy gives new writers achance to have their work reviewed critically by other writers and the general public. Jeopardy's editors are available to help Writers make revisions on their submissions. The literary magazine, funded by the Associated Students, is distributed free throughout Western's campus. Other universities, such asWashington State University, exchange their literary publications for copies of Jeopardy which ispublished each spring. Besides publishing fiction, non-fiction, poetry and prose, Jeopardy acceptsgraphic and photographic works. McCollum said she is interested in using more graphics andphotographs. "In our choice of paper we're being real careful to choose paper that will reproduce artwell," she said. In the past, Jeopardy has published few student works. McCollum said this may bebecause most students either don't know about the publication or they think it's only for Englishgraduates. McCollum, a Falrhaven student, said she's trying to increase the number of students whohave works published in Jeopardy by informing more students about how to submit works. She's alsoencouraging students from Western's sister university the University of El Salvador, to submit works.Written pieces from El Salvador will be translated into English with the writer's permission. Jeopardy has accepted work from all over the United States and Canada. "As editor of Jeopardy I feel we can no longer represent such a small part of the world. I'd like to do a special issue that features work from ElSalvador," she said. Written submissions should be typed. All submissions should include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submissions can be sent to Jeopardy, Humanities 350. Deadline isJan. 15. ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 7 - ACCENT, page 5 ---------- BER 7, 1986 WESTERN FRONT ACCENT 5 ifiP^ By Lynn Baldwin staff reporter s* t ^u This minute itcould be-:; i5iiipIIII||^liiBiiii*K" !iiPiiiBSiiiSiiBÂ«iii â€¢iiiBlilii^ll^lliii â€¢lÂ»llli^lilBiÂ«Â»iSSÂ«Â«^lililiÂ»ilPiiiBlÂ« - â€¢ - â€¢ ' ^ c k e V i o r - p u t t i r i g^ from c l i e n t s , ^ I've been workmg ^ f e 1 ffiTaka^M^ ion t l l i ^ n write.

He will perform tonight with pianoaccompaniment and tomorrow with the Western wind ensemble. "Hemke is clearly one of the bestconcert saxophonists in the world," Wayne Gorder, Western wind ensemble conductor said. Hemke, aprofessor at Northwestern University in Illinois, studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Pariswhere he became the first American to win first prize in saxophone. Author of several books, Hemkealso has recorded two solo records and has performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.Saxophonists can even buy "Hemke" reeds in music stores. The majority of the soloist's expenses arebeing paid by La Voz, a reed-making company and Selmer, a musical instrument company. Gordersaid expenses for guest soloists usually vary between $1,000 and $3,000. Hemke arrived yesterdayto practice with Western's wind ensemble and Lisa Bergman, Western pianist. Tonight at 8, Hemke willgive a solo recital with Bergman in the PAC Concert Hall. He will perform with the wind ensembletomorrow at 8 p.m. The wind ensemble will perform Ingolf Dahl's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone andWind Orchestra."

Proceeds will go to the Western Music Department scholarship fund.Puppeteer presents classics By Jerry Tegarden staff reporter Frankenstein, The Hound of theBaskervilles, Hamlet and King Arthur are part of the Clay Martin's Puppet Theatre at tonight's MamaSundays. Martin, 34, is a graduate of George Washington University in Dramatic Arts. He first came toSeattle 10 years ago to try his luck at acting. After two years Martin decided to give it up and becomea Seattle stockbroker. "I'd finally had it. I was no longer going to try to make it as an actor," Martin said. "I was the kind of actor who always wanted to do all the parts. One day I discovered I could," he said.Two months later he decided to try a production of "Sir George and the Dragon." To save the hassles of a full stage production he built a puppet stage, made some puppets and took his show to the Pike Place Market. After his first show he counted his tips and found $12. Armed with the knowledge that he couldmake a Jiving playing the streets he quit his stockbroking job. Martin said playing on the streets isn'talways easy. At the 1980 Pike Place Street Fair his stage almost was set on fire by an inebriated critic."Luckily a friend who was there discouraged him," he said. Four years ago, while performing at a party in Saugetuck, Michigan, he met Burr Tilstrom, the creator of Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Martin said Till-stromtook an immediate interest in his work and invited him to his workshop. "It was sort of a master's classright there," he said. Tillstrom hired him as a technician and puppet-maker for several television specialson WMAQ-TV Chicago. Martin's puppetry also was featured on the CBS Morning News in 1982. Martinperforms a series of short pieces in his show including the 325-year-old classic "Punch and Judy." "Iplay lots of versions of Punch; Punch with Judy, Punch and the Policeman, Punch and the Hangman and others," Martin said. He does all the voices for his plays. Punch's voice is done with the aid of aswazzle. A swazzle is a reed held in the mouth, which gives Punch his characteristic squeaky voice.The other part of Martin's show is a 45-minute play about King Arthur. His adaptation of the storycontains 13 characters and each has a specific personality conveyed as much by voice as appearance.The performance is free and begins at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Coffeeshop. Comedic 'End of the World' sparks laughs and discussion Old Main Theater may explode with laughter when the play "End of theWorld" hits the stage. "End of the World,"by Arthur Kopit is the theater/dance department's fallproduction. Dennis Catrell, chairman of the department, will direct the comedy. The play is set inStanford, Conn. Micheal Trent, played by Sean Robinson, is a playwright. He is approached by PhilipStone, a wealthy industrialist played by Chuck Harper, and is commissioned to write a play on nuclearproliferation. "The topic of it may not be attractive but the treatment of the topic is comedic," Catrellsaid. It's a play containing comedy and mystery, he said. The show follows Trent through his troubleswriting and researching the play, Catrell said. "We see what kinds of impact the city and militaryexperts have on Trent's personal life." "It deals with a topic of current public concern, but it's not apropaganda play either," Catrell said. The play deals with a question that pertains to all of us, he said. Following the performance will be a discussion about the play. The play opens at 7:30 p.m. . Nov. 12 in the Old Main Theater and will run through Nov. 15. On Sunday, Nov. 16, the prefor-mance will be at 2:15 p.m. Admission is $4.50 general and $3.50 students/seniors. 'Til Tuesday provides surprising sinceritymusic By Bill Freeberg staff reporter Aimee Mann and 'Til Tuesday survive the sophomore slump anddepart from angst to honesty on their new album, "Welcome Home." By expanding her vocal andstylistic range. Mann communicates a sincerity that was lacking in the pain-filled songs on 'TilTuesday's debut album, "Voices Carry." Til Tuesday begins the album with "What About Love."This song maintains the moody style of their previous work. The change in their style occurs lyrically. When Mann embraces the verse, "Living in silence/Living by the book/You can make it a science/ Living on onegood look," listeners know they're in for a change. The best song on "Welcome Home" is the tear-jerking, country flavored ballad, "Coming Up Close." On the song, Joey Pesce accents Mann's vocalswith a charming keyboard arrangement. "Coming Up Close" cuts deeper into the real Mann, showing aperson behind all the pain. She doesn't scratch the surface of her pain, but digs into her soul and singswith heartbreaking honesty. These two cuts toss any preconceived image of the band as gloommongers. 'Til Tuesday proves it isn't as limited as once percieved by critics. "On Sunday" also presentsthe listener with a refined vocal arrangement. This song deals with the redemptive grace of a lovingrelationship. "On Sunday" moves Mann from pain's center to the person who is comforting the hurt lover,a bold lyrical move that proves successful. Side one ends with another ballad, "David Denies." Mannonce again proves she has a vocal range, and sings in the higher registers. Mann fills the song withtouching ironies about love and the frailties of relationships. Side two maintains the lyrical andmusical consistency of the album. "Angels May Fall" juxtaposes the lushness of Roxy Music and theoff-beat subtleties of the ballads from the Beatles"'Sgt. Pepper" album. Producer Rhett Davies, who hasworked with Roxy Music, elaborately fills the mix with rushes of synthesizers. The band has also grownstylistically. Joey Pesce's keyboards and synthesizers create haunting backgrounds for most of theballads, and Robert Holmes gets to loosen uponguitarevery once in a while. Holmes even belts out a fewmoody licks in "Lover's Day." Davies and 'Til Tuesday have created an album that should entrench theband in the charts. "Welcome Home" is a welcome change of pace from a band most people expectedless from. 'Til Tuesday has come home with an album that could be considered one of the closetclassics of 1986.

To demonstrate the need for a stage renovation and present quality entertainment, theMount Baker Theatre Committee has invited the orchestra to perform at the theatre, Nov. 9, at 3 p.m.The Mount Baker Theatre, which was built in 1927, is listed on the National Register of HistoricalPlaces. The landmark needs a larger stage so it can accomodate performing groups such as thesymphony orchestra, she said. She said the cost for the renovation is quoted at $1.2 million andthe money would be raised through matching grants from major foundations. The symphony, conductedby Nicolas Bussard, will perform Beethoven's Edgmont Overture, Ippolitov-Ivanov's Caucasian Sketchesand Variations for Orchestra by Edward Rutsch-man, a Western music professor. "'Variations forOrchestra' is a challenging 17-minute piece that gives sections of the orchestra a chance to show off,"said Rutschman, who serves as graduate program advisor and music theory coordinator at Western.Appearing with the symphony will be Seattle Symphony's violin soloist Linda Melsted. She will befeatured in Tchaikovsky's 'Concerto for Violin.' Tickets for the performance are on sale from 1 to 5 p.m.,weekdays at the Mount Baker Theatre Committee office, or at Box Office Northwest. Prices are $5, $4and $3. Local bands converge on album By David Einmo staff reporter Everything from rock to reggaewill be represented on Music Connection's compilation album, "Once in a Lifetime." The album, which is scheduled for release in December, will feature 10 Whatcom County bands. Dave Lewis, thecoordinator of Music Connection, along with John Rants, part-owner of TCD Productions have beenplanning the album since last May. Music Connection is a non-profit o r g a n i z a t i o n for aidingmusicians. Lewis and Rants originally planned a concert with 33 bands performing for the public at apark in Bellingham last spring. Lewis said the bands were going to be judged against each other, andthe winners would appear on a compilation album. The Parks Department, however, cancelled theshow because it feared security problems, Lewis said. But the Up and Up Tavern provided a stage forthe musicians, when the owners invited Lewis and the bands to play at the club. "They make a realhabit of helping out local musicians," Lewis said. The tavern hosted five to six bands each Thursday,Friday and Saturday night for two weeks in September and October. Ten of the bands from those shows appear on the album, which was recorded live at the Up and Up. "Once in a Lifetime" features thefoursome e.e. penguin; two solo vocalists, Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr; country bands Suzy and theQ's, and Wild Country Vocal Band; reggae rockers The Tourists; jazz from Jade Waller; and three rockand roll bands, The Reaction, Ed Knight, and Tony Branco. Kirk Douglas and Denisa Karr, who metafter the recording, have since begun working together. Lewis said he hopes to make the concertsand album an annual event. He said next year he would like to reach an agreement with the city ofBellingham to incorporate an outdoor festival during the city's July 4 celebration. Lewis said he wouldlike to record another compilation album during the pending summer performances. Music Connectionalso assists bands by helping them get concerts, connecting band members with other musicians and providing workshops. "It's just musicians helping other musicians," Lewis said. He said the theMusic Connection album will be available in local music stores.

His involvement inpolitical movements began when he was 17, with such activities as sit-ins and Socialist Labor meetings. He enrolled at the University of Kansas in 1961, and continued his involvement in left-of-centerorganizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1966 he dropped out of campus leftistorganizations. "All of a sudden the student movement started to get violent," he said. Increased drug use among student activists also disturbed him. Although he no longer belonged to these organizations, he continued going to the meetings; He also began attending meetings of right-wing organizations, and became interested in how people come to their beliefs. "What people believe is not so important to meas why," he said. The "why" will be the topic of his speech at Western. Wilcox said he has come toknow about 400 "ideolouges," or members of extremist groups. "They're not bad people. That's just astrue of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher. They're all trying to do the right thing as they seeit," Wilcox said. cult than investigating political groups. "They demand so much from you," he said ofthe cults. With most political groups he can walk in, listen, and leave, he said. "With religious groupsthat works the first time, but after that they're all over you," he said. Wilcox^said he generally has notrouble getting members of extremist groups to talk to him, generally by using "very effective" basicinterviewing techniques. His collection catalogues roughly 7,000 groups in the far right and far left. 1hey're not bad people. That's just as true of a Ku Klux Klan member as a peace marcher.} "I try tounderstand them, I don't try to hate them," he said. Wilcox conducts most of his research from inside agroup. "If you really want to understand (a group) you have to let yourself get immersed in them," hesaid. This technique works, Wilcox said, but "sometimes it's been kind of embarrassing." For instance,"Once I was at a meeting of the John Birch Society, and without realizing it I began using some leftistcliches." Investigating cult religious groups this way can be more diffi- "Some are pretty decent groupsand some are crazy as hell," he said. Wilcox said he believes even the craziest of these groups has aright to exist. They contribute to the enormous political diversity which is a major strength of thiscountry, he said. They also encourage thought, and examination of beliefs, he said. "I don't think it hurts anyone to hear a Nazi or a Communist or whatever," Wilcox said. "Psychology of Extremism" beginsat 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13, in the Viking Union Lounge, and is free.

Page 10 Tuesday,April 30,1996 Volume 96 Issue 7 WESTERN FRONT Western Washington University Nice shoesBellingham, Washington Problem election has AS concerned Out-of-state students add diversity ByAmy Stering The Western Front Though only a small percentage of Western's students come fromout of Washington state, they help provide a diverse student body. Director of Admissions KarenCopetas said admission decisions are made by looking at various categories: incoming freshmen,transfer students, graduate students and former Western students. Because Western receives arelatively small percentage of out-of-state freshman applicants, standards for all freshman Â§admissions do not differ. Copetas said Admissions received about 5,300 freshman applicants this fallfrom August Wegener Washington state compared to only 700 out-of-state freshman applicants. "Wedon't have to take residency into consideration for freshman admission," Copetas said. "We want toproduce a fairly well-rounded class and would like to have some out-of-state representation. We feel likethat enhances everybody's education." The admission process becomes more selective with transferstudents from out of state, Copetas added. She explained that higher education in Washington has anagreement between the community colleges and baccalaureate institutions. The agreement providesaccess to students who go through a community college, earn an associate degree and then transferto a public university. Transfer students have priority if they are a Washington resident, coming from aWashington community college with a completed associate of arts degree or 90 transferable credits."Historically, we have been able to admit over 95 percent of our associate's holders in that group,"Copetas said. Space for out-of-state students is limited because 75 to 80 transfer spaces are takenby Washington state students. Once out-of-state students are admitted, the shock of non-residenttuition kicks in. Non-residents pay $2,763 per quarter compared to Washington resident's tuition of$841 (assuming 10-18 credits are taken and including all mandatory fees). Senior August Wegener, from Portland, Ore., said out-of-state students endure not only costly tuition, but also expensive phone billsand expenses associated with traveling to and from home. Wegener said coming to Western was the"best investment I could have made. This experience is worth it and I wouldn't change it for the world." A few activities this summer and in the fall helped these students adjust, said Anna Carey, assistantdirector of New Student Programs/Family Outreach. A mailing in July gave students information aboutarriving early to residence halls, shipping packages and offered advice about different ways to travelto Bellingham. Carey said some aren't aware that Bellingham has an airport, or that they could arrive by Amtrak. New Student Programs/Family Outreach also provided a dinner for out-of-state students. Thedinner served as an opportunity to meet other students in the same situation. Although thesestudents don't have a sense about familiar places and things, Carey said, "They have the advantage ofseeing Washington with new eyes. We live in a beautiful area. It's a great opportunity to locate in theNorthwest." Kristin Rehmann, a sophomore from Anchorage, Alaska, said she's had a positiveexperience, especially with the residence and admissions staff members. Both Rehmann and Wegeneragreed that although their entire support systems are out of Washington, the experience of going toWestern is well worth it. "Out-of-state students help to provide a diverse educational experience,"Copetas said. By Alisha Holdener The Western Front John Herd's no-show, a nearly biased reviewboard and an emotional response to negative campaigning procedures made for an excitingAssociated Students Board of Directors meeting Monday night. Herd, who is appealing the ban on hiscampaigning in the north end of campus, did not show up for the hearing. President Lauren Russellcommented that Herd has been informed of the meeting's importance and that they shouldcontinue without him. The board determined that only two of the seven board members were unbiased with regards to Herd's appeal. A subcommittee to hear the appeal was comprised of the uninvolvedmembers, Naomi Dillon, AS Secretary/Treasurer and Cameron Wong, VP for Student Life. Dillon saidshe wasn't sure what a vote for Herd's appeal would mean. "The elections are over. A new election isabout as likely as a clean one," Dillon said in a phone interview. If they vote against Herd, no furtheraction will be taken. "It's a moot point now because the elections are over," Liz Smith, VP for ExternalAffairs, said. "The system is such where everyone has the opportunity to bring up grievances. It's up tothe system to find validity and act upon them," said Jack Smith, Director of Viking Union and boardadvisor. The AS Review will print an apology for running names and photos in the wrong order. Futureissues involving AS elections will be under control of the election coordinator to avoid similar SeeMeeting, page 3 KIRO's Taylor visits sister mentor program By Erica Christensen The Western FrontJoyce Taylor, Western alumna and co-host of KIRO-TV's 7 Live, spoke to students from the campusSister to Sister mentor program Friday, sharing her stories and experiences as an A f r i c a n Am e r i c a n woman at Western and in the work force. Taylor, a broadcast comm u n i c a t i o nsmajor who graduated in 1984, said there were probably only 10 to 15 African Americans on campuswhen she was here. "There were so few students of color that I don't really view my experience as being different because of my color," Taylor said. "There weren't really enough students of color to be thatorganized and separate." Front/Aaron Dahl Joyce Taylor addresses the Sister to Sister program. Taylorsaid she was lucky her twin sister attended Western at the same time. She said she was pleased tosee so many faces of color, and the African-American women here are fortunate to have this kind ofsisterhood. Taylor said while she was here, broadcast communication professor Alden Smith was"almost like my dad away from home â€” a white man in the b r o a d c a s t department who probably had maybe three black students the whole time I was here." Smith said Taylor had a personalitythat bubbled. "She had a fine voice, enthusiasm and a wish to get involved," Smith said. Naomi Dillon, a senior journal-ism major, introduced Taylor.

No arrests were made. A 253-acre timber sale, about 35 miles east of Portland, has been the target of protests and lawsuits since 1987. Environmentalistsand American Indians say the area is an important cultural site. The forest service says it found nothingsignificant in the area. Young and Morgan Company is logging the area with helicopters. The harvest isexpected to take about two months. 13-year-old boy to be tried as an adult for Lynden murderBELLINGHAMâ€”A 13-year-old who told police he was trying to be a tough guy for his friends when heshot a 17-year-old could be tried as an adult for murder. The boy is accused of killing Denton Hendricksof Lynden in a gang-related dispute near Lynden City Park on March 6. The Whatcom CountyProsecutor's office says it wants to try the boy in adult court. He would be the youngest person in thecounty to face a murder charge. The night before Hendricks was slain, prosecutors say the 13-year-oldwas shooting at cars, pointing a rifle at other youths and threatening to kill anyone who told on him.Instead of three and a half years, the teenager could face 20 years in prison if convicted. NationalAverage gas price up 14 cents per gallon from last year LOS ANGELESâ€”Gas prices continue to soar,but the end may be near. Oil analyst Trilby Lundberg said gas prices jumped nearly five cents over thepast two weeks. The good news is gas prices may be leveling off after a wave of hikes caused by risingdemand and crude oil costs. Lundberg said in some midwestern cities, prices are unchanged or arealready falling. The average price of gas as of Friday, according to the Lundberg survey, is just over$1.36 a gallon. That compares to $1.39 on April 12, and is 14 cents higher than a year ago. California isthe state taking the worst hit. Self-serve gas prices increased in the Golden State by 18 cents per gallonover the past two weeks. Man who watched Jordan murdered may face death LUMBERTON,N.C.â€”The death penalty could still be in Larry Demery's future. He pleaded, guilty in the killing ofMichael Jordan's father, but Monday, a judge refused to strike capital punishment as a possiblesentence. Demery admitted he watched as James Jordan was shot to death on a North Carolinaroadside. He testified that his life-long friend Daniel Green pulled the trigger. That testimony helpedconvict Green, who was sentenced to life in prison. Demery's lawyers argue their client should not suffermore than Green. The judge says the state Supreme Court will have to decide that issue. 31 dead afterpassenger bus in Peru flies off cliff LIMA, PERUâ€”Thirty-one people are dead and 20 more are injuredafter a crowded passenger bus plunged off a cliff. The bus reportedly left the city Of Tacna, in southernPeru, Saturday afternoon. It was carrying merchants northeast toward the Andes mountains, and crashed about two hours later. The cause was not immediately apparent. Such crashes are common onPeru's winding mountain roads, and are usually blamed on negligent driving. Compiled from theAssociated Press by Front reporter Amy Scribner Taylor, from page 1 Meeting, from page 1 "I considerMs. Taylor a role model in a field where so few women of color, let alone people of color, are present,and she inspires me as well as others, I'm sure, to not just survive, but succeed," Dillon said.........: .After Taylor graduated from Western she moved to Spokane, where she was a weather forecaster anda news reporter.

"The board recognized there was aproblem, but there was no material impact on the campaigns," Liz Smith said. Several grievanceswere dismissed on technicalities because the election code did not address specific issues. , "It's avery metamorphic document (the election code)," Smith said. "It's changing constantly, but if we didn't have one, elections would be chaotic." Unfortunately, mishaps in the election code are unforseeable."As things come up, the besf we can do is make changes for next year," Smith said. Prior to themeeting, Jennifer Boespflug, VP for Activities, made reference to crossing out Herd's face on the ASReview. She said, "I realized that was a pretty dumb thing to do, but it wasn't against election codes."Boespflug commented that it wasn't malicious and the Review was only up for two' hours. Emotionsroared at the end of the meeting when Dillon asked Boespflug if she had vandalized photos of Dillon. "Itwasn't something I planned on doing," Boespflug said. "I just had a lot of nervous energy." Dillon saidshe could have filed a grievance but until confirmed the allegations with Boespflug, the claims were onlyhearsay. "I would like a formal apology," Dillon said. â€¢r" Herrfequ^st was followed by anuncomfortable silence. "It was a stupid thing to do. I'm honestly sorry," Boespflug responded on .theverge of tears.

"I don't think we'rereflecting what the board should reflect." "Instead of sitting here and bitching about it, we need, to fix it," Leslie Keller, VP for Internal Affairs, said assertively.

About 60 people came to the Viking Union Main Lounge on April23 to hear him list the grim statistics concerning the chemicals U.S. farmers use to kill insects,weeds, and crop-destroying fungi. "As a journalist I can't help but notice that there are gaps in thecoverage of 'environmental racism,'" said Britney Bartlett, a Western journalism student with aconcentration in environmental studies. Bartlett defines "environmental racism" as the exposure of ethnic minority communities to harmful pollutants. This exposure often goes unnoticed because, as agroup, their voices often remain unheard. According to "No Grapes," a video produced by the UnitedFarm Workers of America about the dangers of the heavy pesticides used on the grape fields ofCalifornia, 300 million pounds of pesticides are released from the air in that state every year. A third ofthese are known to cause cancer. Most of the pesticide residue clinging to the crops is oil-based,cannot be easily washed off and can easily be absorbed through the skin of the migrant farm workerswho tend the fields. It's no wonder that the rate of job-related illness among these workers is the highestin the state. One might assume that pesticide use is a problem limited to workers directly exposed tothem but, according to "No Grapes," everyone can be affected. When pesticides are sprayed from theair, only a small portion actually lands on the crops and may remain there in the oily residue. The restis carried off by the wind to contaminate neighboring communities and seep into underground watersupplies. According to research compiled by the Front/Jesse Hamilton Environmental Working Group, millions of children in the United States receive 35 percent of a lifetime's dose of carcinogens by theage of five. Martinez said such research supports the idea of the increasing rate of cancer amongAmericans as being directly related to the increase of pesticide use by our country's farmers. Prior toWorld War II, only one out of every 25 Americans was diagnosed with cancer. In the late 1940's, whenwidespread use of heavy pesticides became the norm, the cancer rate increased to one out everyeight. This rate increased again in the '80's to one out of every five. "Cancer is not normal, " said aninfuriated Martinez. "Why are we not up in arms about this?" When it comes to testing for safe chemical tolerance levels, he said, the government doesn't seem to make an effort to study the long-term effectsof chronic exposure (the continual exposure to a chemical over time or the exposure to many chemicalsduring a lifetime). "If you're diagnosed with cancer 10 years from now, you're on your own, saidMartinez about governmental apathy toward the millions of Americans chronically exposed topesticides. According to an August 1995 article in Ms. Magazine, evidence supports a link between theuse of some pesticides and non- Hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, soft tissue sarcoma, and cancers ofthe brain, lung, breast, skin, stomach, and prostate. The risk of pesticide exposure is especiallydangerous for children and infants. Because they're smaller, they ingest more contaminants pound for pound than an adult and their underdeveloped detoxifying systems aren't strong enough to combatthem. Cancer isn't the only threat to them, however. Some pesticides contain neurotoxins that canpoison their underdeveloped brains and central nervous systems. "The levels of chemical toleranceare not based in science but in politics," said Martinez when he explained why the research data needed to cause widespread concern and to motivate the government in decreasing the levels of chemicaltolerance is often missing or unavailable. The United States is not only the biggest user of pesticides;it's also the biggest exporter. According to the Ms. Magazine article, the sales generated from exporting pesticides last year totaled 2.4 billion dollars-and a third of these had been banned or restricted tolimited use for surpassing even our lenient chemical tolerance levels. These illegal pesticides mayfind their way back to the United States, however.

The event, titled Past, Present and Future Coming Full Circle, issponsored by the 12 clubs that make up APSU. All of the groups are very excited about sharing theircultures with the Bellingham and Western communities. The month kicks off with APSU's annual fashion show where they will model traditional as well as modern dress. Western's Hui O Hawaii club has beenbusy planning a luau and hula show, featuring the Seattle Hula Dance Troop. Shane Bunda, a juniorand recently elected Associated Students vice president of diversity, is a member of Western's Hui OHawaii club. He said the group has been working all quarter to put the event together. "I'm excited toshare some of my culture with my Bellingham peers," Bunda said. Fred Chung, a Westernsophomore, is a member of the Korean American Student Association. One event he has helpedorganize is Kid's Day. Chung said their goal is to teach the children of non-Korean families a little abouttheir culture through fables, Tae Kwon Do, folk and fan dancing and traditional cuisine. "Many of themdon't get exposed to it because of the people they live with," Chung said. Several of the members ofKASA are adopted and, in the past, club members have continued their relationships with local childrenlong after Kid's Day. API Month will also feature many guest lecturers, including Ronald Takaki, anauthor and a professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. In his book, "ADifferent Mirror: A History of Multicultural America," Takaki says that "by sometime in the 21st century,most Americans will trace their â€¢ descent to Africa, Asia, the Hispanic world, the Pacific Islands,Arabia â€” almost anywhere but white Europe."

"This ripple effect of the wings of one butterfly can change the tide in even the smallest ways," author Gloria Steinem said. People demanded support of affirmative action,immigrant worker rights, women's reproductive freedom, civil rights for people of color and support forlesbian/gay and bisexual rights. Front/Bobbie Egan Gina Cumbo makes a banner representing Westernstudents. "Call it bold political strategy; call it risky; but definitely call it historic," said Patricia Ireland,president of the National Organization for Women. "Participants are pioneers of political change, stakingout new horizons in this decade the same way the 4,000 people who first marched on behalf of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1977 and the 50,000 people who first rallied in support of abortion rights in1986." Speakers at the march included actor Danny Glover, Dolores Huerta of the United Farm Workers of America, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow Coalition. "This is one hell of a butterflygtoday," Steinem said. The story goes that when a butterfly moves its wings, the breeze that iscreated from that butterfly will change the tide of the ocean. Leaders of NOW, who organized themarch, estimate about 50,000 people the 1.7-mile march along the San Francisco Bay waterfront toCrissy Field. As is the case in crowd counts, discrepancies exist â€” the U.S. Park Police estimated13,000. Western's Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance and the Women's Center helped to sponsor 24 students to attend the march. â€ž For LGBA coordinator Juanita Juchau, being around thousands oflike-minded people gave hope for the future. "I have lots of personal issues that are anti-right," Juchausaid. "I'm gay. I'm a single mom. I'm on welfare. I have all these issues that are related specifically to the march, so to be around a lot of people who feel the same way I do felt good, especially when I amconstantly bombarded by the right. "The right is everywhere I go. There are all these people telling mewhat I am is wrong. To be around thousands of people who feel the same way I do was just soempowering, so perfect. To think there are all these people who think like me ... you just don't get thathere," she said. The event's key purpose, according to NOW officials, was to create momentum for thedefeat of anti-affirmative action initiatives headed for the November ballot. Similar ballot measures arecirculating in six states, with California paving the way by already eliminating programs that supportracial diversity and women in state education, employment and contracting. The actual phrase,"affirmative action," was first used in President Lyndon Johnson's 1965 Executive Order, which requiresfederal contractors to "take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and thatemployees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color or origin." Californiapolicy makers are pushing to put the California Civil Rights Initiative on the ballots for voter approval inNovember. The initiative states that "the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferentialtreatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin in theoperation of public employment, public education or contracting. Doug Honig, Public Education Directorfor the American Civil Liberties Union, said Washington has no current initiatives to end affirmativeaction. "Political activists may pick this up if it passes in California, but currently there is no threat toour state," Honig said. Opponents of the CCRI charge that the initiative would apply even in cases where applicants are equally qualified and there has been ongoing discrimination against women or people ofcolor. Clause C, could allow for discrimination in employment, admittance, contracting, wages andpromotion for any reason, depending on the interpretation of "reasonably necessary." "For the first timein this country, an extremist, ultra-right wing has taken control of one of the two major centrist political parties," Steinem said. "The entire country is focused on California ... because you will determine the fate of affirmative action for this whole country by your vote."

The Hensons, who are lesbians, took the same last name."(Camp Sister Spirit) serves as a crossroads, a nexus where people can go when they're wishing toleave something behind," said Tara Herivel, of the Lesbian/Gay and Bisexual Alliance, and co-organizerof the trip. Camp Sister Spirit, founded by the Hensons, lies in the small .southern Mississippi town ofOvett. The Hensons' mission is to bring feminist education and women's culture to the South and tohelp their neighbors and women seek shelter from violence. Coordinators for the delegation, RobinSponseller of the Legal Information Center and Herivel met the Hensons last April when the Hensonsspoke of their lives and terrors at Western's Take Back the Night. The Hensons invited Western studentsto visit the camp during spring break. "I'll never forget (the Hensons') speech. They were the mosthonest, loving women I had ever heard," Herivel said. Despite their endless efforts to help theircommunity, the Hensons have been terrorized since the camp opened its doors three years ago. Thegrassroots camp has been the target of homophobic hatred led by the religious right and Mississippi forFamily Values. Photo courtesy of Robin Sponseller Camp Sister Spirit delegates are: Brenda Henson,Wanda Henson; back row (left to right) Mara Eaton, front row (left to right) Ruth Robin Sponseller, TaraHerivel, Holbrook, Pam Spangler, Marci Aimee Wiseman, Jane Hinton, - Larsson and Michelle Morrissey. The violence against the Hensons has ranged from a dog shot and slung over their mailbox to bombthreats. On Valentine's Day, someone rolled an unidentified car into a ditch outside the camp and setthe car on fire. Although the crime was obviously directed toward the camp, local authorities draggedtheir feet when it came to protecting the camp. "What the (delegation) is doing is coming fromaround the country to protect these women and let the townies know that they are being monitored,"Herivel said. "These assholes know exactly how far to go with intimidation and how far they can go withthe police." Herivel said the reason CSS has survived and the Hensons are alive is the way they havenetworked. Networking began on a small scale between community members and allies, and has nowgrown across the country. Over 2,000 volunteers have visited the camp and helped rebuild the former120- acre pig farm into a safe haven for women. Herivel said the lessons learned at CSS are powerful and teach women crafts and handiwork that break the stereotype of "man's work." "On the third day I waswondering what type of feminist education I was receiving. All I was doing was building a workshop ...then it hit me and I realized I was actually building a workshop," Herivel said. "I came away with a newsense of philosophy. We didn't have a lot to work with, but what we had was enough. It is the strengthand will that is within us that are the real tools," said delegate Ruth Holbrook, a Western alumna. ForSponseller, the lone male delegate, the camp was the first time he had questioned male stereotypes."I prayed we would pick another man. It was the first time in a long time I was very aware of mymaleness. It forced me to redefine my gender role. Seeing how efficient the women were was a newthing for me. These women were doing all of it," Sponseller said. Although the Hensons have defeatedthe ongoing efforts of opponents to shut down the camp, their victory hasn't been without a long battleâ€” a battle that has left the non-profit camp in dire financial need. "What the Hensons need is money;money, money, money," Herivel said. "The project didn't end when we got back; it's just the first step towhat we plan to do for them." The delegation is selling T-shirts and bumper stickers to help raise fundsfor the Hensons. Donations can be made through the Legal Information Center. "If these women werestraight, they'd get awards for what they're doing. But because they're lesbians they don't," Herivel said. Y6AH, PIGHT! Announcing the ATT Ultimate ROAD TRIP" Sweepstakes.

But they want to do more than enforce laws, they are trying to build bridges betweenofficers and students in a less intimidating way. "Anyone with a gun could be intimidating," said JenniferGregor, university police dispatcher. A uniformed leader at the head and green jackets at the other end of the table resemble a television cop series. The atmosphere changes slightly as the meeting for the newshift ends. Laughter echoes through the once quiet room as the green coats huddle around a fellowofficer impersonating Van Damme. "I'm the ringmaster," Sergeant John Browne said with a serious face,leaving a unperceptive newcomer off-guard. As a Western graduate, Browne explains that the laid-back atmosphere students in the office have is why he enjoys his job of 24 years. "Students using thisopportunity as a stepping stone makes me feel like a part of the education - system," Browne said. Anight of educating begins for Officer John Kildall during his 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. shift with Gregor's voice onthe radio. "Fire alarm in the Viking Addition!" Gregor yells. With a quick response to his radio and pressof the gas pedal, the sounds of ringing soon thunder over his vehicle. Kildall walks through the buildingwith a fellow officer in search of a flame and finds, unsurprisingly, a false alarm. With the excitement ofpolice enforcement comes grave moments.

Thisenvironment is not just academic, but also gives second chances to correct bad habits that may lead tosevere punishments in later years, Kildall said. "Law enforcement is more than just traffic control,"Kildall said. He also sees it as a chance to help students on to the right path of life with humor andseriousness at the same time. Requiring a little more than a quick look for a potential flame, the next call taken by Kildall needed the attention of a written report.

"We're like the referee game field of life ... studej not a personal thing,"By Allison Gregg The Western Front You are in a rush. Without even thinking about it, you leave yourpurse or wallet sitting out or tucked in your locker. But you don't give it a second thought â€” you willbe right back. When you do return, it is gone. It vanished. You pause and think, "Did I really bring it inand leave it there?" Things are thrown around in an effort to find it. Maybe it fell or slipped betweensomething. It is nowhere in sight. It suddenly hits you, "I've been robbed." As violating and disturbing asit is, the facts are simple: someone took your possessions and now you, the victim, have to spend yourtime canceling credit cards, closing bank accounts and getting new identification. Two weeks ago, mypurse was stolen from World Gym and Fitness Center in Bellingham. I have had to do something about iteveryday since then. Bellingham Police Lt. Rick Sucee said that most purses stolen are theresponsibility of the owner. "They get stolen when they are left unattended," Sucee said. Leaving a purse in a shopping cart or on a table in a resturaunt are perfect examples of how items get stolen. The firstthing to do if a cash card, checks or withdrawal slips are stolen is to call the bank. A stop payment isplaced on the stolen checks. It makes those checks impossible to clear your account, if the thievesattempt to use them. Chris Edwards, a personal banker at Seafirst Bank, recommends closing theaccount and opening a new one. If the account is not closed right away, but a stop-payment is placedon the checks, a business might accept the check. You will be notified that the checks will not clearyour account.

The people who stole my purse have written where to call toreport a stolen or lost credit card on the back of the monthly statement. New credit cards are usuallymailed within two weeks. Next, you need to get a new driver's license, which is not easy to do. A formof picture identification is needed. An expired driver's license is the best form of identification. When you bring in a student I.D. card, or another form of picture I.D., you need your social security card, birth certificate or high school yearbook.

By Jerry Weatherhogg The Western Front After a long, industriousevening spent studying at Wilson Library, its time to go home and crash. The car has been parked allday in some far-off commuter parking lot. It's late. It's dark. The cold Bellingham wind whispers thoughts of discomfort into the ear. It's not the best night to be walking alone. What to do? Call the UniversityPolice. They offer Personal Safety Escorts to anyone from anywhere on campus. These escorts willwalk or provide transportation to any place on campus at no cost. The service is very simple touse, University Police Lt. Dave D o u g h t y said. "A person just calls or comes to the officeWW^mZZ purse. Although â€¢n't imagine what d my address, car lid not have been ds, on the autho-e picture I.D." check the signa-lance that thieves ires or mementos le, they are gone. spring break andems, but they are I Sucee said. "Try ut it, or glue it or lt;m Front/Kelly Jackson! and asks for aPersonal Safety Escort," he said. "Anybody on campus (can use the service)," Doughty said. "You don't have to be a student. Visitors, staff and faculty can also use the escorts. Our concern is personalsafety." Security officer Gray Proctor said it's very easy to get ahold of an escort. "Call the UniversityPolice at 650- 3555 and say, 'this is where I am, I would like an escort,'" Proctor said. "They'll ask youfor your vital statistics for legal reasons, and within a couple minutes the rover or an officer will bethere. You can also designate a certain time (for an escort) by calling in advance." SophomoreNathalie Oravetz does exactly that when she uses the service. "I usually just plan ahead," Oravetzsaid. "I'll call from a friend's house and say that I'll be at (commuter lot) 16CR in 10 minutes. One time, I called from Haggen's." "Call boxes are found in most of the main parking lots," security officer Jamie Ivanich said. "People can also use car phones and dorm boxes." No reason is required for using anescort, and security won't ask any questions. "We certainly don't refuse too many people because we'dmuch rather err on the obsessive side than say no to someone who actually needs an escort," Proctorsaid. "So we don't usually ask questions." Oravetz used the escort because she finds the parkingterrible on campus. She felt especially uncomfortable walking around the track and the aerobics shack,where it does not feel safe, she said. Freshman Tonni Blaisdell offered a straightforward reason why she called for an escort. "I was scared because it was nighttime and I'm a girl and I didn't want to beattacked," Blaisdell said. After receiving an escort request, University Police will either dispatch therover who drives a Ford Ranger truck, or send an officer by foot to the person. It usually takes less than10 minutes for the security officer to arrive. However, in some instances, the wait is longer. "Ifsomeone calls for an escort and security officers are not readily available, the person might have towait," Doughty said. "We will direct people into someplace safe like the Viking Commons or WilsonLibrary, but it's not too often that people have to wait," he said. Blaisdell said it took about five to 10minutes for her escort to arrive the three times she's used the service. "The service area is traditionally all of campus and includes Birnam Wood," Proctor said. "But being the nice guys we are, we'll takepeople a little ways off campus. It's usually the driver's discretion," he said. "But we certainly won'ttake people across town," Proctor added. "We try not to let people use it as a taxi service," securityofficer and rover Collin Rutherford added. The service began in the middle of the 1970s, and hasincreased since. In 1995, security gave 928 escorts, and through the end of February of this year, 261escorts have been given. Front/Chris Butterfield Security officer Nicole Spears escorts a Westernstudent from campus Monday. The weather usually influences the demand for escorts. During poorweather, the demand doubles. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all yearround. However, most escorts are given at night, and after 4 p.m., the rover is available. After a long night of writing, I decided to give the escort service a try. The University Police receptionist was very nice asshe asked me for my name, student number, where I was and where I was going. I think she wasoblivious to the fact that my destination, Kappa, was less than a stone's throw away from College Hall. I wasn't waiting longer than two minutes before I saw headlights coming toward me from Bond Hall. The"University Police" decal in the window let me know that my escort had arrived. It was a relief steppinginside. The truck was much warmer than the cold night. And Rutherford was just as pleasant. "You'remy first action all day," he said as he drove up the street. Since the trip to the Ridge took only a fewseconds, he parked the truck as he told me about his job. Weekends are the most popular nights forescorts, Rutherford said. Thursday nights are especially big, because all the business majors getloaded, he said. The College of Business and Economics doesn't have Friday classes. Most securityofficers are genuinely nice people. Many are appreciative of the company. Rutherford enjoys beingan escort because he sees a variety of campus life and meets many interesting people, businessmajors included. "I enjoy meeting people, so it's nice to get a break," Proctor said. "It's nice to get achance to talk to people. There's a certain amount of satisfaction that comes with doing a public service, even if it is something as minor as walking someone home." "I like to see people at one o' clock inthe morning," Ivanich said. "It's the loneliest shift," she said of her 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. schedule. Users ofthe service are just as appreciative as they are satisfied. Oravetz said that she has been treated verywell by security escorts. "They're totally understanding to the fact that I have a shitty parking spot and Idon't want to walk at night," Oravetz said. "All of them (the escorts) have been really friendly." Theservice is quite popular, but isn't as effective as it could be. Rutherford and Proctor agree that the biggest problem facing the escort system is lack of use. "It's probably not as popular as it should be," Proctoradded. "I don't think nearly enough people use the escort system and not enough people know about itfor it to work as efficiently as it should." "Most people are intimidated by calling University Police,which they shouldn't be because that's what we're here for," Proctor said.

The"Muddy Mile" is one of By Jesse Nolte The Western Front Blood, sweat, tears and mud will be flyingat the fourth-annual Padden Mountain Pedal mountain bike race Sunday at Padden, which is expected to bring amateur bikers from across Washington. The race will kick off a three-race series that the National Off-Road Bicycle Association has sanctioned as the state championship. In addition to Sunday's race,there will be races on May 19 and June 9, with the overall points winner from all three races being named the state champion. Bikers will hurtle through the same tight trails that have brought more than 500racers and 2,000 spectators to the race each year it's been run. "It's brutal," said race co-founderMark Peterson of the race course. "Actually it's a good, fun course. We'll see that the caliber of racerwill be as good as it ever was." Pro/expert and sport-class racers will race multiple laps around a 3.4 mile loop, while beginner-class racers will race around a shorter and flatter 2.9 mile loop. Each coursefeatures agonizing climbs, fast drop-offs and stomach-churning switchbacks. "It's really a verydeceiving course," Kulshan Cycle's John Roy said. "The locals who have ridden it will think 'gosh, that'snot a very hard course.' But when you have to do it four, five or six times, and the most grueling obstacles that the course features. Although this section, which ranges from 50 to 200 yards long dependingupon the annual rainfall, is not to the waist-high and 250-yards-long extreme that it was in 1993,spectators will still get the opportunity to see many racers dismount and slog their way throughthe mud. "It's a very challenging course overall," said Rich Archberger, president of Western'sTreadhead mountain bike club. "The key to the race is to be able to climb." The course is not onlyexciting for racers, but it is one of the best in the Northwest for spectators to see just what it is thatmountain bikers do in the woods, Peterson said. Although the" course is tight, spectators can easilywalk it backward to see every jump, crash and grimace the riders make. Spectators can also browsethrough the bike expo or watch bikers try to ride over logs and stumps in the trials course.

Assistant men'scoach Andrew Stephens said the novice men showed their depth when they won the varsity-eight race,beating the second-place University of Puget Sound varsity boat by 9.77 seconds and three-and-a-halfboat lengths. Stephens said the novice-eight boat bearing varsity boats "has to be the highlight of theyear so far." "To be a novice team and to win a varsity race shows a lot about our coach," said JasonMoorehead, who sat in the seventh seat for the winning boat. "All week long he said he wanted us to win. Both the boats dedicated the races to him." The biggest challenge for both the women's and men'steams will be at next week's Opening Day Regatta at the Montlake Cut in Seattle. The regatta is themost attended race in the world, with a crowd of around 100,000 people. The University of Washingtoninvited the men to the race after their showings in races in San Diego and Spokane. Stephens called the university and asked if his team could compete, and a week later they were invited. The race will betheir biggest one since San Diego. Last Saturday's race was their best race of the season to this point."It was very encouraging to see that and fun to see the team respond to that," Stephens said. "I thinkthey showed confidence, but they weren't cocky." The women also showed their ability and confidence by winning the most races of the nine schools that competed on Saturday. Their biggest victory was the 2,000-meter varsity-eight race which they completed in 7:08.00, beating Pacific Lutheran University by16.7 seconds. A combination of the return of the team's regular stroke for the boat, Emily Bauer, andthe team's new boats attributed to the varsity win. "Having Emily Bauer back at stroke helped ourrhythm a lot, and we cruised to a pretty easy victory," women's coach Ron Goodman said in a pressrelease. "We'll probably be 10 to 15 seconds faster next week just from what we learned about therigging on our new boats." Assistant women's coach Annette Collins said hard work was another keyfactor in the women's dominance at Saturday's regatta. "They've been working hard, and their effortspaid off for them. They were confident going into it and sure about themselves." The women also tookfirst in the novice eight, lightweight eight and the novice four. They placed second in the junior varsity four and lightweight novice eight. Stephens said the race in Seattle will be a test of how much the novicemen's team has improved and he expects to at least take second when up against competitors suchas the University of Washington and Washington State University's freshmen novice boats. "We had astrong race at American Lake, but we have a lot of work to do to beat UW," Moorehead said. "I thinkwe'll gain recognition for Western as a strong team and I think we'll surprise some people down there."The women's team is "hoping to break (its) curse and do better," Collins said of this Saturday's race. She expects the women to do well against some good competition, including UW and Yale for the varsityteams and UW and Washington State University for the novice. New equipment will be a factor in doingwell because more power can be applied to the water, making the boat move faster. "Opening Day hasalways been a hard race for us," Bauer said. "We're looking to get WSU and UW. We have thecapabilities of winning the race. We just have to get out and do it."

The Vikings captured the inaugural women's crown handily, with four players breaking 100 at the Fircrest Golf Course. The men, the defending league champions, finished second, seven strokes behind SimonFraser University. Junior Sherri Lockner earned women's medalist honors with a completed only 18holes. Fastpitch in first-place tie round of 91. Junior Deena Worden, sophomore Leslie Keller andfreshman Anna Hiffman finished second, third and fourth behind Lockner. All four earned all-conference honors. "It was miserable playing out there," Lockner said. "It was a shame that we didn't play tworounds." She felt that a full tournament would have provided a more worthy champion and a better gaugeof the field. The tournament was shortened from 54 to 36 holes for the men because Thursday's actionwas canceled due to rain. The men had to play two 18-hole rounds on Friday, and the women Westernjunior Kevin Cannon and junior Ryan Yurina earned all-conference honors, finishing second and third,respectively. Cannon shot a 9- over-par 151, and Yurina followed one stroke behind. Yurina finished theseason as the team's stroke average leader at 77.5 per round. He is representing Western at the NAIAPacific Northwest/Far West Regional tournament in San Diego Monday and Tuesday. SFU's TrevorGoetz took first-place medalist honors with a six-over-par 148. He made several clutch shots during hisround, chipping the ball in twice and nailing some long putts. Fastpitch April 30, 2 p.m. vs. University ofPuget Sound at Frank Geri Field (regular season finale) By D. Eric Jones The Western Front Westernwomen's fastpitch ripped through the south Puget Sound Saturday and Sunday and came home with afive-game winning streak. After sweeping twinbills at both St. Martin's College and University of PugetSound over the weekend, the Vikings skyrocketed into first place in the Pacific Northwest AthleticConference alongside Simon Fraser University. Western (19- 19) improved to 9-5 in the PNWAC. TheVikings clobbered SMC 5-0 and 6- 1 on Saturday. The momentum carried them into Sunday's big wins.Western outlasted UPS for a 6-5 victory in the opener. Diana Joy blanked the powerful Loggers in thenightcap en route to a 5-0 shutout. Freshman Alison Haukaas and Joy worked perfectly on the mound as both women picked up two wins last weekend. Haukaas nabbed her ninth victory of the season, goingthe distance for the 18th time in 19 starts. "We really kept the intensity up," Haukaas said. "We startedfollowing through with two outs to keep the scoring going." Western displayed its mental toughness,rallying for four runs in the fifth inning against UPS after trailing 3-2. "We always stayed in it. We battledthrough because we knew we wanted to win," Haukaas said. It was Brenda Blancas' two-run double inthe fifth that stopped the Loggers in their tracks. "We really started hitting together as a team. We gotmore consecutive hits and we're not stranding runners as much any more," Blancas said. The Vikingsclash with UPS again at 2 p.m today at Frank Geri Field. The PNWAC playoffs will be hosted by theleague champion Friday and Saturday. Western can clinch sole possession of first place with one moreleague victory than SFU in this final week. The Clan would lock up first place if its league record tiesWestern. SFU won the season series with Western 3-1. "We're really getting excited." Blancas said."We definitely have good attitudes and we know we've got potential." Kelley, Stevenson qualify By ChrisButterfield The Western Front Sophomore Karla Kelley qualified for nationals, and senior Jen Campbelland sophomore Kathy Law improved their qualifying times last Saturday in Abbotsford, B.C. at theSimon Fraser Invitational. Kelley qualified by placing sixth (4:42.0) in the women's 1,500 meters.Campbell finished fourth in the 3,000 (10:11.72) and Law finished fourth in the 3,000 racewalk(15:17.16). "I was amazed (about qualifying)" Kelley said. "Actually, the race that I ran in, the womanthat I ran against had a 4:19, and everybody was way put in front of me. I didn't realize I was going asfast as I was." Posting regional qualifying times were sophomore Erik Meyer in the men's 5,000(15:17.19) and freshman Sarah Tenace in the women's 800 (2:19.67). Also qualifying for regionals wassophomore Jeff Yoder in the men's 10,000 (33:23.66) at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational on Saturday. Inaddition to the Simon Fraser and PLU invitationals, four Western athletes, junior Kurt Grichel, sophomore Lewis McCulloch, junior Oscar Myre IV and junior Mike Ogliore competed at the Penn Relays. TheVikings have already qualified more people (nine) for nationals than last year. They advance to thePNWAC Championships Saturday in Ellensburg on a roll. "We have a really good team this year,"Campbell said. "It's a lot better than last year." "I think we're going to do well because we have a lot ofdepth and a lot of really talented athletes," senior Brandi Stevenson said. Stevenson qualified fornationals in the April 21-22 PNWAC Multi-Events Championships by breaking Western's 13- year-oldheptathlon mark (4,557 points) set in 1983 by Jennifer Schwartz. She took six of seven events over thetwo-day championship and compiled a point total of 4,641. "I think toward the end of the season ourteam's starting to come together," Stevenson added. "I hope to place first or second in every one of (theevents)," said Stevenson, who will be competing in five events during the conference championships. The regional championships are May 10- 11 in Monmouth, Ore., and the NAIA National Champioships will be May 23-25 in Marietta, Ga. MAY1 Legal Info.

Look, too many of usdon't have a clue when it comes to birth control. That's why there's Planned Parenthood. The people at Planned Parenthood know it's tough for teens to get the facts about birth control, safer sex, andsexually transmitted infections. They really listened to me, and helped me choose a birth control methodthat works for me. Everything is completely confidential. And the fees are low, so I can afford it. So go to Planned Parenthood.

Yes, our beloved mass transit system has some negativequalities, but this is usually the case with most government operations. But, before you startcondemning the driving abilities and timekeeping skills of WTA bus drivers, keep this is mind. Incomparison to other bus systems in this state (i.e. Seattle's Metro), WTA is in a class of its own. The number one reason why WTA rocks is value. Thirty-five cents is not too much to pay to get acrosstown. Metro, in contrast, charges $1.10. WTA also provides some of the cleanest vehicles on the road.The lack of grime makes the buses' ultra-cool color scheme sparkle. It is especially groovy at night when the buses are aglow in blue light.v Metro buses, more often than not, are covered with a layer of dirt.This cannot be blamed on poor bus maintenance, but on the fact that downtown Seattle isn't thecleanest place on Earth. No amount of dirt, however, can hide the ugly brown and yellow paint job ofthe Metro buses. Friendliness also ranks high on the list. Most WTA drivers are simply nice people.Nowhere else but Bellingham do drivers announce that the bus is passing 31 Flavors. Also, inBellingham, it is safe to ride the bus late at night. In Seattle, riding the bus past 11 p.m. isuncomfortable, to say the. least. Finally, WTA bus routes are simple and easy-to-use. The colorfulmaps and schedules make getting from point A to point B easy. The opposite is true of Metro. Trying to decipher Metro schedules is an exercise in frustration. It takes a degree in geography to figure outwhere the bus is going and another degree in mathematics to calculate when it's going to get there.Granted, WTA is not perfect. A major inconvenience is not having Sunday service. I once spent half an hour in the cold Bellingham wind waiting for a bus that never came. Night service is also deficient. TheNightline was an essential addition but, since most WTA routes close around 7 p.m., the Nightline is our only option. Lateness is another complaint reflected by many in the community. Reasons of price,cleanliness, charm, fashion and simplicity make WTA the best transit value in the Northwest. It's notperfect, but it does its job in getting the masses around comfortably. If you ever find yourself squeezedinto a bus packed like a can of sardines or running just a little late, remember, compared to thealternatives, our bus system kicks transit ass. ttere's fast-acting relief from, the pressure of school!graduating seniors, c\\A,d qmd students can get ^oboc cash bacte* O\A, the purchase or lease of aiA,ijtool new Ford or Mercw.ru).

First off, Accent Editor Grant Clark is pissed because he wasn'tmentioned. "I glorify violence â€” what about me?" he whined. "More death and destruction are dealt outin one Godzilla flick than in all the Sonny Chiba movies combined. And, hell, it was my 'Streetfighter'video that he watched to write the article." Imagine, if you will, a world devoid of televised violence. BobSaget would host 14 shows, pay channel options would include "24 Hours of 'Blossom,'" and "The SavedBy The Bell Channel" (minus, of course, "The College Years," since Screech got the occasional hazing,which would be considered gratuitous, and the mere sight of "Showgirls" star Jesse Spano is arousingenough to promote impure thoughts and "self-induced" blindness). I must, however begrudgingly, admitthe influential power of television. Because of "Miami Vice," Grant didn't wear socks for two years. Yet,never once did he.get in a fiery speedboat chase, join a drug cartel in Colombia or put out a violently lamealbum (remember "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson? Try playing that song in the UpUp on a non-business-major night without getting your ass kicked). Television can also incite some destructive activities.

Ricki, who, by the way, looksgreat in neon tights, a cape and a red, white and blue leather hood, piped down after a forearm shiver and the dreaded figure-four leglock. "If she's gonna talk the talk, she'd better walk the.walk," Grant screamed at the camera, index finger shaking. - i Now then, back to the brow-beaten Collin Coyne. TV violence:fine. ... TV buddy-cop shows and bogus talk-shows: bad. Writing about Sonny Chiba (who, by the way,taps a keg of whoop-ass on anyone who thinks otherwise or puts up signs about Collin): Good. Now, ifyou want to wax intellectual about the subject at hand (TV violence, not Jesse Spano), consider theresults of watering down entertainment media so as not to offend the squeamish or influence the lessmature. Reduction of available information to the level of the lowest common intellectual denominatoramounts to a brand of censorship. Collin may glorify violence, but he doesn't promote vandalism (ortooth decay)! â€”Jason Hickman, Copy editor â€”Grant Clark, Accent editor The Western Front Editor,Jeremy Stiles; Managing editor, Jesse Hamilton; News editors, Mike Brennand and Nina Boswell;Features editors, Rachel Morrow and Lisa Diaz; Accent editors, Eric Francis and Grant Clark; Sportseditor, Darrin Wellentin; Opinions editor, Christopher Ames; Copy editor, Jason Hickman; Photo editors,Aaron Dahl and Tom Degan; Political Cartoonist, Jason Kelly; Illustrator, Kelly Jackson; Adviser, PeteSteffens; Business Manager, Teari Brown; Custodian, Roger Sprague; Custodian emeritus, ConradSchuyler.

P^H0MS: TAKE: Z PIUS w *^NÂ§T^Â°iT^Â»^H f Utf OFF fiQpSSS** NOT CH**,2J One student's border trouble: northern exposureno good I am 20 years old, and I have lived my whole life in a place where I didn't have to deal withdiscrimination because of my ethnicity, values or the color of my skin. However, I recently saw thehard, cold face of racism and, learned that discrimination doesn't just happen to African- Americans.Discrimination can happen to everyone, but especially minorities. After finals week, I was finishedwith all my classes, so my friends and I decided to go dancing in Canada. We thought we would havea good time. We stopped at the duty free store before passing through the United States-Canadianborder in Blaine. The Canadian Customs officer began asking us questions. "Have you ever been toCanada before?" the officer asked. "Yes, we have," we replied. "How long are you going to be here?"she asked. . "Three to four hours," we said. "Did you go into the duty free?" she asked. "Yes, toexchange money," the driver of the car, Robert Mattin, said. I waÂ§ beginning to become suspiciousof the persistent questioning. All we wanted to do was to go dancing. Following the last question, theofficer directed us to the Customs and Immigration Building. My friends and I entered the building andwere told to see the immigration officer. As we walked through the door, the officers assumed we wouldcreate a disturbance or commit some kind of criminal act, and wouldn't allow my boyfriend to use therestroorn, refusing to explain why. "I felt racially discriminated against and stereotyped as carryingillegal contraband," Mattin said. We stood in line for 30 minutes just to find a reason why we were sentthere. The Canadian supervisor took our driver's licenses and student identification cards while askingunimportant questions: Are you sure you were born in the United States? Do you go to school andwhere? What are you majoring in? How much money are you all carrying? We responded with variousamounts of money, but it wasn't enough to get us past the supervisor. "Hey, how come we're here?"student Andy Waterman asked. "How come you get to ask my friends questions and not me, and howcome we have to have $40 each?" Waterman asked too many questions of the officer, who became soupset with the remarks that he put Waterman into an isolated containment cell. He wasn't let out untilwe left. "Sit down!" the officer shouted. "Now if you don't shut up, you're gonna see parts of Canada that you've never seen before." Waterman said nothing to the officer, but when he asked for the officer'sname he didn't give it to him. He also asked for a comment card, but received a piece of paper. Despite our cooperation, customs denied us entrance into Canada. They justified their action by citing aCanadian immigration law. They said the law requires each person to carry $40. to enter Canada,although they showed no verification of the law. Still disturbed by the incident, I called the nearestCanadian customs building, and asked if any law existed requiring each person to bring $40 to crossthe border. The officer told me there are seven superintendents, and they have the discretion to turnanyone away if they don't have "sufficient funds" to enter Canada. The Canadian official said theyexpect visitors to have a "certain amount of money to pass the border." Despite the fact we may ormay not have had enough money, it was none of their business and, their aggressive manner appalledme. I didn't know what they wanted from us and I was deeply upset. These remarks made me feel asthough I were an illegal immigrant, even though I was born in the United States. I felt this was a form of discrimination, because three or four Canadian agents circled around us like hawks as if we weremeat to dine on. I sometimes think about what would happen if I had just gone back and showed themmy $40. I wondered if they still would have let me and my friends cross the border. What if I was with abunch of friends who weren't minorities? The outcome probably would have been different. Maybe Ishould go back to the border and find out. ---------- Western Front - 1996 April 30 - Page 15 ---------- April 30, 1996 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 Americana must reject, 'flush' conservative'bilge' Dear Editor, It's time we stood up and flush , all the conservative bilge down the toilet before itsinks our ship.

Some of these ideas Dr. Haggardexpressed earlier to the Collegian this week. "The first thought I have is that I wish to extend bestwishes to my successor in the solution of the problems incident to growth during the years ahead."Then would come the ideas and ideals based upon twenty years of administration in the College's toppost . . . and based upon an entire career in education. He would be concerned with the responsibility oftraining teachers. "This College is preparing," One never ceases to learn and thus his education willcontinue throughout his life. It is truly the commencement for the sincere, capable person. This is adifferent person from he who is going to college just to get through." "The prospective teacher who is atWestern," explains the President "should be here because of the quality of our teacher educationprogram. For others it would be for the Arts and Sciences courses, the two years of junior college, andthe extensiveness of our programâ€” which also allows one year of graduate work." Explaining hisown satisfactions during his administration, Dr. Haggard states that the growth of the College is thegreatest. He means the expansion of the College program, the physical improvements to the campus,and the increased student enrollment. He is especially pleased with the number of students whohave graduated with teaching degrees from 1949 to 1958. They stand this way: Western 2852 U. of W.2847 Next highest: some 300 lower.

With these words to her 15- membercommittee of the whole, chairman Pat Xelly launched the1959 WUS campaign on the Western campxis. The comhiit-tee quickly moved to the following decisions: â€¢ Goal of the drive will be $1,500. â€¢Slogan is to be "That learning may not die." BUT THERE-ARE more basic issues than these.Questions like "what is WUS?" "Why does it exist?" "What can I do to help?" These are the questionswe asked Miss Kelly. 'Well," the pert chairman began," WUS' is an international free world agencywhich is \ mainly supported by contributions from students." "IF EVERY STUDENT at Westernwould contribute 50c we would meet our goal. That price may be just the price of a lunch for you, but toa foreign student it may mean the opportunity to begin or continue study. "This is truly a worthwhileinvestment in humanity." Scanning the WUS leaflets, Miss Kelly pointed to a $550, 000 program thisyear to provide scholarships for refugee students, (including Algerians) in France, Germany, Sweden,Switzerland and Britain. IN ADDITION, WUS will be especially interested in A f r i c an scholars. Amajor university in South Africa is closed to African Negroes; noted regional WUS director GladysLawther said in her fall visit to the College, "some African cities the size of Belling-ham have only onedoctor." Mrs. Lawther went into debt to make a trip on her own around the world, during which time shevisited many WUS projects. "One of the things that Mrs. Lawther told us was that there are 2,000known student tubercular cases in Japan." "WE HAVE THE advantage of good health," continuedMiss Kelly, "and take many things for granted â€”like having a place to live and having books forclasses. Others do not begin to have our advantages. In one place in India, for example, students haveto walk 50 miles to school. WUS would like to build a youth hostel there. "If we would need furtherreason to be interested in the other students of the world, I can quote the WUS sponsors. They contendthat civilization is a race between education and catastrophe," Miss Kelly Said- By PAT PALMERFLIGHT FROM THE burning city of Belgrade, escape from Yugoslavia in a twenty-foot sardine boat,injury by the Germansâ€”these constitute only a few of the war experiences of Robert St. John, well-known newspaper correspondent.

His firsthand observations of the treatment of the native Africans- havebeen compiled into the book called "Through Malan's Africa," which was barred from the reading public in South Africa. Erik Low, Prime Minister of S.A., has accused Robert St. John along with John Gunther and Alan Paton as the three men most responsible for South Africa's bad Toward the end of 1957, St-John returned to Africa to report on the self-government in Ghana. He views Ghana as "the land ofhope," in contrast to South Africa, "the land of fear." ON THE SCENE to see the first bombs of WorldWar II falling, St. John reported news from Eastern Europe where he was surrounded by death anddestruction on all sides. The story of his war adventures are related in "From the Land of the SilentPeople," which has been hailed as "the best book to come out of World War II."

One of the major problems in lighting is working out a light plot that will be effective on theWestern stage and still be simple enough to adapt to the stages of other schools when the play is ontour. ADJUSTING THE WHOLE SET to fit another school's stage, will be another problem for the stagecrew. Skagit Valley College, especially will present this change. The whole set will have to bereadjusted before the play can be presented there. For that reason, an extra performance, using the setfor SVC, will be given March 6 on Western's stage, for high school students only. "Usually there is a gap between what you plan and what actually works out, but so far, everything is working right," Flanders said yesterday.

Phone RE 3-6870 Magnolia Commercial ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1959 February 20 - Page 3 ---------- February 20, 1959 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN Page 3 Field day at the Legislature:Amending the Amendments. BY LYLE PRICE AFTER HEARING ITS SPECIAL COMMITTEE report,Western's student legislators thought for a while Wednesday that they had gotten those proposedconstitutional amendments out of the way. But they were wrong. After the report was heardWednesday, Legislator Bruce Hannaford quickly moved that the committee's three recommendationsbe adopted. The recommendation would also rescind the Legislature's action of January 21 pertainingto amendments. But after picking up a second, the motion ran into trouble in the form of muchdiscussion, if not outright opposition. ONE POINT AT ISSUE WAS ELIGIBILITY requirements forAssociated Student Body offices. When asked at what exact moment the requirements would belevied, Hannaford offered the interpretation that a candidate (for instance, for ASB President) could win election to the office although he might not fulfill the requirements at the time of election. This wouldhold, said Hannaford, if he were eligible by the time he took office. ; Dave Amos and Dr. MoyleCederstrom, adviser, held that the recommendations as stated were ambiguous. At this pointRabourn moved to add to the Hannaford motion by inserting clarifying phrases in the three amendmentrecommendations. He also moved to add a fourth amendment. The. addition would require a candidatefor most ASB offices to be eligible at the time he applied The exceptions in ASB positions would beLegislative and judicial. Rabourn's added proposal would have Legislative eligibility included. "Is thisprecisely the opposite of what you originally meant?" Dr. Cederstrom asked of Hannaford. The graduatestudent nodded his head in agreement. "Why," asked Legislator Leo Dodd, "is it the opposite?" Doddhad seconded the Rabourn addition to the main motion. HANNAFORD THEN POINTED OUT that acommittee of five legislators had made the recommendations and that Rabourn had not only been amember of the committee, but had voted in favor of the recommendation. Rabourn countered, that hefelt clarification and improvements should be made even if thought of tardily. RABOURN'S MOVE wouldseem to do more than change just the time element. It would state literally, for instance, "to be eligible for the election to the office of Legislator, a student must have completed at least two quarters ofresident work at WWCE." Currently change and interpretation would literally mean that a write-incandidate could not be eligible to be a Legislator unless he fulfilled requirements. As Dr. Cederstrom once implied, a write-in candidate does not apply and hence escapes all requirements of one whoapplies â€”at least in a high school which he recalls once elected the waitress down the street as Queen of the Senior Prom. The matter of recommendations and amendments was not resolved, and theLegislature unanimously voted to shuffle back the report to the committee.

This were second among 20schools in US Could Have Had Satellite Orbited in 1956, Ley Reports By DICK PERRY "IF PROJECTORBITER had heen left alone, the United States would have put a satellite into orbit by 1956." Project Orbiter was the joint Army- Navy satellite program of this country started in 1954 and which was shelved in 1955 for Project Vanguard. s This move, according to scientist Willy Ley, last Tuesday's Artistsand Lecturers speaker, was a prime reason why Russia beat the United States in putting the first Iman-made satellite into orbit in 1957. LEY, IN HIS TALK "Conquest of Space," predicted that within fiveyears we will send a manned vehicle into orbit, and man will travel around the moon without landingthere and return to earth. He also said that within this same period we will be taking "shots" at ourneighboring planets, Mars and Venus. "Most p e o p l e , " Ley said, "agree that the Space Age began when Sputnik I was sent into orbit, October 4, 1957." He then referred to this as "year 2" of the SpaceAge. HE WENT ON TO SAY, however, that the basic concept for a man-made orbiting satellite datesback to the 17th century and Sir Issac Newton. Newton theorized that if an object could attain a velocityof five miles per second in a horizontal path with the earth, it would remain in orbit around the earth."But this had to remain a theory Save with our CASH AND CARRY DISCOUNT Vienna Cleaners 206 E.Magnolia 1-DAY SHIRT SERVICE Phone REgent 4-7620 for sometime." Ley said. It wasn't until thestart of the 20th century that scientists began to wonder if rockets could be made to attain suchvelocities. By 1911 the idea of "stagging" was patented by two scientists. From this our idea of a 3-stage rocket developed. Work began in earnest in 1948, and in February, 1949, the first man-madeobject was hurled into empty space by this country. After Project Vanguard failed to put a satellite intoorbit in December, 1957, Ley said, "'Orbiter' was quietly revived and called 'Jupiter C." On January 31, 1958, "Explorer I" was put into orbit. ON THE QUESTION, "What are we going to see this year?" hesaid that there are two groups working on various projects. One, a civilian group, will take eight or more"shots" this year. These will include a plastic-aluminum balloon which will inflate after it goes intoorbit. It will be 100 feet in diameter, be very visible, and may have navigational value. THE OTHERGROUP, a contingent of scientists working -for the military, will also take several "shots," includingone at the moon comparable to the recent Russian "moon" rocket. with no previous speechexperience.)

It was their mostdisastrous road trip of the season as it left them out of contention for the Conference title. The Vikswent down 84-56 against RON SALTIS, a sophomore forward, has been improving this season and will be one of coach Jack Hubbard's mainstays next year. WHY WALK?

PLC racked up their 35th straight Conference victory in the contest last Thursday, as thescoring of Chuck Curtis, Jim VanBeek and Roger Iverson was too much for the Norsemen to handle. The contest was close throughout the first half however, as Western held within three points of theirtalented opponents. The Lutes came storming out for the second half and promptly ran away with thegame as - Western found trouble in hit ting the hoop. In one six minute period, the Norsemen got only a single point, while Iverson alone potted 14 in about the same amount of time. IVERSON'S 22COUNTERS were high for the contest, followed by Curtis with 20 and VanBeek with 18. Western's topguns were Bay Kycek who collected 17 points and 19 rebounds, and Nello Morganti who picked up 12.A 30 point effort by all- Conference forward Bill Coordes was too much for the Vikings as they lost theirsecond league test in a row. The Wildcats led from the opening tip off and the Norsemen committed 30personals in trying to get back into the game. Central took good advantage of the charity tosses as theyconnected for 30 out of 40. The Vikings out-scored their rugged opponents by five baskets as far as field goals were concerned. Western shot 27 for 66 and Central hit 22 for 55. Vlk Basketballers End Season This Weekend By DOUG SIMPSON A sport which has been practically neglected this year at Westernis swimming. Although the Viking mermen have had a disappointing season, they are improving steadily,and should do better in these last few weeks of the Evergreen Conference campaign. The Vikings are ayoung squad which has been gaining experience all year, and that will make a better accounting of itselfthe remainder of the season. Three important men have been added to the team, as Coach John Kulbitskiis looking toward the Conference meet March 6-7 at the College of Puget Sound. Letterman ColeComings has been out with an injured knee, but is ready to go, and should pick up points in the free style events. Al Coghill, another letterman, has not been able to participate thus far this year because hehas had to work. Coghill is also a free style specialist. The third newcomer is John Guberd, who has justbecome eligible. Kulbitski has had no one to enter in the butterfly, but now Guberd is on hand for theVikings in this event. The Vikings have two meets here at Western this weekend. This afternoon at 3:30p.m. they tangle with the Eastern Savages, and tomorrow at 11 a.m. are slated to meet Oregon StateCollege. Two weeks ago Western lost to Eastern, 57-25 at Cheney, but Coach Kulbitski points to the fact that all the events were close, and could have gone either way. Here at Western with more swimmersavailable, Kulbitski and Assistant Coach Chuck Stutz have high hopes of dropping the Savages. Although Coach Jack Hubbard's basketball squad has now dropped seven games,, the team is practically a shoe-in for the NAIA district playoffs which will be played March 2-4. Two teams from each side of themountains are selected to participate. Pacific Lutheran will be one selection from this side, and Westernlooks to be the other. Among other candidates, Seattle Pacific, St. Martins, College of Puget Sound, and the University of British Columbia have all been defeated by Western. From the other side, EasternWashington and either Gonzaga or Central Washington will probably be picked. Whitworth is also inthe running. Western's hoop team has dropped two straight conference games, and now has a dog fighton its hands to retain third place. Two victories this weekend are essential. Monday nighfs game withUBC is the last of Western's regular season campaign. Bill Wright and Nello Morganti have both beenslumping scoring-wise of late, but the two are still well in front of all other Vikings in this department.Wright has scored 206 points and Morganti 205, both for 11.4 averages. Ray Kycek and Windy Weldhave been the top point producers of late, but both of them are still below double figures. STOPPING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST'S third leading scorer Ray Wilson and beating the second best team in theEvergreen Conference are the problems facing Jack Hubbard's basketballers this weekend. EasternWashington will furnish the opposition on Friday and Whitworth ends the Vikings' final weekend athome on Saturday. Western will have to win at least one Of the two games to insure a third-place finish. The Vikings are tentatively scheduled to meet Pacific Lutheran in the NAIA district playoffs. Thewinner of that game will play the winner of the Eastern Whitworth game. The winner of this match willrepresent the Northwest in the national tournament at Kansas City. WASHBURN HAS SCORED 478POINTS to average 21.7 points for the fourth-place Whitworth five. Another Whitworth player who hasshown well this year is Al Rolf, a 6-8 center. The Viks have beat the Whitman squad once this year, butthe boys from east of the mountains have improved considerably since the start of the season.Eastern handed the Viks a defeat earlier in the season and are currently riding in second place in theconference. Kent Mathison and Al Fackler have done the majority of Eastern's scoring this year.Western Rugby Squad Plays Here Tomorrow EAGER TO RESUME action after postponement of lastweek's game, Coach Joe Davies and his Western rngby team will pit their strength against the University of British Columbia Tomahawks tomorrow at 1:30 p. m. on Western's campus field. The Tomahawks,one of UBC's better rugby teams, will be out to break the Viking win streak and avenge the early season defeat of another UBC squad at the hands of the Western team. The Viks beat the UBC Chiefs in theseason opener. COACH DAVIES is trying to get more speed in the lineup and will revise his startingteam to give an opportunity to players who have been progressing well in practice. A mixup in scheduling caused the cancelling of last week's game between these two teams. Cancellation of the game wasreceived too late for rescheduling with another team. A home-and-home series will be scheduled witha Victoria, B. C, team at a later date. Davies has arranged for Herb Langman, an experienced rugbyplayer, to explain tomorrow's game to the spectators. - S A V E - Cash and Carry Discount Fine DryCleaning Expert Repairs and Alterations Free Minor Repairs Superior Cleaners 207 Chestnut 24-HOUR SERVICE On WEDDING INVITATIONS PRINTWS STATIONBtS PHONE REgent 4-6550 MowBcllinslum National Bank B.

The statement, at the bottom of column one on page five, read: "The decision hasbeen held up three weeks. Why? Chief Justice J. Speck says; he can't find the) procedures for-operating) the Court." Since ^ihis is not a true statement, it is in simpler terms, a lie. I would offer theseexplanations. First, Chief Justice Speck did not make the quoted statement. Second, the delay hasbeen because of an error in presenting the brief to the Board in accordance with the procedures foundin the October 31, 1958, copy of the COLLEGIAN, which is and has been on file in the COLLEGIANoffice. The whereabouts of the procedures have been known to all concerned for over two weeks and to the members of the Judicial Board since some time BEFORE their publication in the October 31 issueof the COLLEGIAN. My suggestions to the Editorial Staff of the COLLEGIAN are, first, if they wishinformation about the Judicial Board, they are free to consult me as Chairman of that Board. Second, ifthe staff is so desperate for material that it must think up lies to fill its pages, then a briefer publicationwould be in order.

CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER APRIL, 1908 LITERARY DEPARTMENT. PIONEER LIFE IN THE LATE SIXTIES. (A True Story by Chelnesha M. Olsen.) The old stockade on the Sevier has long since gone to ruin. It is now a little less than a half a century since that fateful summer, when the Cheyenne lurked in every shadow and in the sage-brush surrounding the town, ready to spring upon the ambitious settler who ventured from the stockade to find some food for the half-starved settlers, or ventured out to his badly suffering crops long ago left to the mercy of the savages who swooped down upon the little town of Richland. And the settlers! Only a few are still living who remember when the men wore rough beards, hunting shirts, weather-beaten and often stained with blood; when the women often went barefooted and wore homespun gowns, for the nearest store was almost one hundred miles distant and could not be reached without great risk of life. Many were those who, driven to desperation, ventured forth, and whose tortured bodies were found later by the scouts. The children, too, seemed to comprehend the danger, and stood the sufferings of the settlement as staunchly as did the grown people, often showing marvelous bravery. There were not many horses in the town, especially those fit for Indian warfare. Several of the fastest were owned by Jacob Schmidt, who was considered one of the bravest and most useful men in the town. He devoted his time to carrying dispatches from Richland to the surrounding settlements, and rode through the Indian infested hills and valleys, lying close to his horse's back to escape the flying bullets of the Indians. He would grow white with hatred at the mention of the "red devils," as he termed them. Two years before, while Schmidt was absent from home, his wife and three small chil- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger dren had been murdered by the savages, and his oldest daughter, then a girl of thirteen years, had been taken into captivity. He later recaptured his daughter, at the same time killing ten of the Indians. Mary inherited her father's bravery; it was she who cared for the horses while her father was engaged in carrying the dispatches. One morning Schmidt learned from a renegade Indian that a neighboring settlement was. to be attacked by the Cheyennes that night, and leaping upon his already saddled steed he hastened with the warning. The day passed, it began to grow late; the sun began to lower, the shadows were lengthening, the sun dropped behind the trees, and still Schmidt had not returned. "What had happened?" the settlers asked one another, for Schmidt was long over due! "Had the Indians killed him?" "He is coming," shouted one of the men. All eyes turned to the direction in which he pointed. Dimly outlined in the distance they beheld a man on horseback coming toward them very swiftly. If it were Schmidt, why was he coming so fast? The rider was within a few yards and the horse was heaving as if it had run a great distance. The man was not Schmidt, but another who had been out scouting and had discovered that it was upon this settlement that the attack was to be made. Schmidt was still out and a dispatch had to be sent for help to Centreville, eighteen miles away, to summon the company of soldiers. Not a man in the town would venture, for the Indians were everywhere and it would be certain-death, they thought. Something had to be done, and that quickly. "Look!" cried a voice. Everyone was speechless as they gazed after a woman's form on a black horse, fast receding in the moonlight. " I t ' s Mary," they whispered, "on black Bess. She's taking the dispatch!" About two hours after the girl's disappearance Schmidt returned. Upon hearing of his-daughter's departure he became frantic and; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 was prevented from remounting his horse and following her by the men, who had all they could do to hold him. He had not slept for three nights and four days, having been carrying messages constantly, but his Mary needed his help. The news of the danger spread over the little town like magic. Men, women and children rushed to the fort. A shot told them that the red men had been sighted. The fields were still dotted with running figures when a volley, and still another, came. As those inside the stockade watched the stream of settlers dash inside the gate they grew cold at the sound which haunted them in their dreams at night—the warwhoop. The deep, hideous gutteral notes of the scalp hallaoing rose and fell with a terrible fierceness. Nearer and nearer came the savages, yelling like demons. Before the rushing savages were a few settlers who had not yet reached the gate. All in, the gate closed with a bang, and instantaneously a shower of bullets beat against it like hail. Inside the stockade there was no confusion, even the little children kept quiet and out of the way. Every man was at his loophole, and every man, too, was aware that every shot he fired must count, for the supply of powder was getting low. The women and older children busied themselves in making bullets and loading the guns for the men at the loopholes. Over all the moon and stars looked down in solemn dignity. Fiercer grew the fight, and lower grew the powder supply. Although this little band of pioneers were doing deadly work there were always plenty of redskins to take the place of the ones who dropped. But the supply of powder was fast giving out. Suddenly the impish yelling ceased. Those on watch could see in the moonlight the skulking black forms moving away in the distance. It was too much to hope that the Indians had given up. "Wonder what their little game is now?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger said Schmidt. "You may depend upon it, they are up to some new deviltry.'' It was a period of intense stillness and fearful suspense; the settlers hardly dared to breathe freely. Nor did the strict vigilance lax; every man at his loophole strained his eyes, peering out into the dim moonlight to detect some sneaking savage. Where was Mary? Was one of those skulking redskins wearing her scalp ? or had she succeeded in reaching the soldiers at Centreville? If help would only arrive in time! was the muttered prayer. They waited an hour—maybe two. It seemed ages to the waiting townspeople. A white-faced woman ran out of her cabin, and in an awe-stricken whisper: "They're boring under the stockade." Which investigation proved to be true, for a stealthy, crunching sound fell upon their listening ears. So this was their scheme. Two silent, determined men took their places near where they thought the hole would be made. The noise kept on at intervals. Men. women and children took places at the walls to listen for that grinding sound. Several other-places were discovered, at each place two men knelt with axes raised to kill the first Indian to come from under the wall. Through the loopholes the watchers could see several black wriggling forms making their way through the grass to the wall. They were becoming bolder again and the silhouettes of several forms carrying something toward the stockade could be seen. They did not have to wait long for soon they smelt smoke. It was small pieces of wood the Indians had carried and they were starting fires all around the walls. Now they were carrying poles. What was to be done ? No powder to shoot with and the Indians about to burn up the fort, and climb over the walls by means of poles. In the cabin where the digging and boring was first heard, the ground was beginning to loosen. A small light was made, showing the guards what the Indians were doing. Finally ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 the ground caved in. The earth was quickly taken out of the hole from the outside and two feathers poked through. Higher and higher they lifted; then a cruel face. The men made quick use of their weapons; then settled to watch once more. After some time had elapsed the dead body of the Indian disappeared and a hideous yell rent the air. Onee again the deep gutteral sound of the warwhoop seemed to come from every side. It was almost daylight. Several feathered heads were seen slowly rising over the stockade wall. The settlers waited breathlessly. They were helpless, and knew now that they would be massacred if help did not come immediately. Suddenly the fearful yelling stopped. A volley rang out some distance away. Soon another volley; this time very much nearer. A flash of hope brightened the solemn faces of the besieged pioneers. Could it really be help coming or was it another band of the Cheyennes ? The Indians seemd to be dissatisfied. They hesitated a moment, and then they could be seen running hither and thither in a confused way. There was a rush, not at the fort this time, but to the heavy woods, for there, riding across the fields, came a band of soldiers. A great cheer came from the townsmen in the stockade as they watched their rescuers rush triumphantly toward the gate, which was swung open to meet them, and the first to enter was Mary. At the sight of her three rousing cheers were given. She had insisted upon returning with the soldiers, knowing that her father would be uneasy until he had her with him again. SENIOR TROUBLES. The close of each school year finds many impatient Seniors daily visiting the various departments in quest of grades, credits, recommendations, assistance on this and other numerous requirements that so concern members of that class. Already have those elderly people versed in pedagogy begun to ply their magic ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger quest to the end of securing that which fits a Normal student for "abnormal" life. At almost any period of the day one may see some members of the faculty, closely and secretly interviewed by a judicious Senior. It may be that the conference is with the teacher in mathematics, when such a question as '' Do you think I display marked ability in mathematics?" is asked. The question comes similarly to the depart ment of education when one asked, "Do yoj think I will make a psychological reasoner?" These and many other worries make the life of the average Senior as busy as a bee in June. Here is the rehearsing of the events that are dated for the near future, as we overheard them betwen two Seniors: "Oh, just think what we have before us; there are our finals, and our back work will all have to be made up soon. I'm conditioned in gym., also in agriculture because my grafts didn 't grow; then we have to have the outlines for our theses in by the fifteenth of April, and the girls think they won't give us longer than the tenth of May to have our graduating dresses finished. And besides this we'll have to get our pictures taken before school closes; then there's the Junior banquet; do hope I'll be able to eat. But just think of the applications we 11 have to send out. Oh! I'll be glad when it's over." ALUMNI. And Undergraduates. (By Clara Tarte.) Misses Nora Corbett and Helen Goldwaith are teaching at Buckley, Wash. Miss Jessie Jamison is now Mrs. G.

Nine years ago, when this school first came-into existence, Dr. Mathes was chosen the administrative head. Dr. Mathes was then occupying the chair of history in the Idaho Normal School at Lewiston. The choice has proven to be a wise one. Under his farseeing and conscientious management the school has prospered greatly. This Normal is the only one in the state that has had but one president. This fact speaks well of Dr. Mathes' ability as an organizer and executive. Dr. Mathes has had many tempting offers, by other institutions of learning, if he would sever his connection with the school. But he is a firm believer in the great future of this institution, and we find him today guiding and directing its manageemnt toward that end. Let us look at just a few of the great changes during the last eight years. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 today we have a beautiful plot of ground, and with the plans which are laid for the future there will be no more beautiful campus anywhere. There was no gymnasium, no dormitory, no greenhouse, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. With the completion of the Science Annex we have the most beautiful building in the state. The faculty has increased from six to twenty-six members. Here a comment should be made upon the kind of faculty which he has chosen. We find all of the faculty strong, broad and intellectual, graduates of various eastern colleges and universities. In bringing about these changes in selecting the members of the faculty, Dr. Mathes has been the ever-present and active factor. It is by these that he is judged by the outside world, but we students, who meet him everyday, who sit in his classes, feel his influence in another way, more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, his refinement and courteous manner has its effect upon the scholars. We leave the school and pass out into the world feeling that we have learned lessons from him never to be forgotten—lessons that we could not have gotten from a less noble character, a less deep nature. And so we find Dr. Mathes respected by the world without, loved and respected by the student body. It is with much pleasure that we publish the original story, found in Literary Department. The management of the paper would like to see it made a permanent feature. Let others follow Miss Olsen's example. One thing which we lack in this school is school spirit. It is not because there is lack of spirit in the schools. Class spirit runs high at times. But it is the prevailing opinion that class spirit is carried to an extreme, and to the extinction of school spirit. A school is a unit and there should be unity between the students We find class contests, class functions better patronized than those where the school as a whole is concerned. Not that we do not believe ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger in class spirit, a great deal of good may be gotten from contests and friendly rivalry, but we should not forget that school matters are far more important than class matters. Let us salute with one accord the "Blue and White," our school colors. What do you think about a school pin? ATHLETICS. (By Noah Davenport.)

The most amusing and really pitiful game of the season we played some time ago with an "alleged" team from the burg of Everson. Guy Dunning, captain. It will be remembered that Mr. Dunning made a record here in times ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 past. One of our professors was heard to apply the name of "Greek gods" to the athletes of the school, and it has occurred to us that this term was suggested by the athlete in a bathing suit who starred for Everson. To the "god" characteristic he added all the charm of a, Romeo and scarce could make a free throw (of which his referee gave him many) without casting languishing eyes at the Juliets in the gallery. We are justly proud of this Normal product the way he sustains his old name. Everson has since forgotten to give us our re-tur game or to return the nine good dollars we gave them. We notice that Mr. Dunning has headed a baseball team of rural teachers to combat city teachers. Probably it is due to this fact that he has overlooked us. Basket ball season has closed at the Normal and with the close of the season activities in the line of athletics cease. We have been unfortunate in getting outside teams to play here, there being no outside team in the gymnasium this year. We notice that Ellensburg Normal is claiming the state championship of all Normals and High School teams on the ground that they won from us and from the champion High School team of Seattle. We would like to call attention to the fact that Ellensburg has not played a single important game outside their own gym. this year. They arranged two dates with us, calling the games off in each case after we had done our advertising. It is all very well for a team to stay in their own so-called gymnasium and boast about beating all comers, but the team that deserves credit for their victories is the one that will move away from home and risk a game. We question this assertion of yours, Mr. McKinstry. and invite you to take a chance away from home. Our season was to close with a game with Snohomish, on March 28, but without notifying us they failed to appear. We made up a team from the school and the local Y. M. C. A., which put up as good a game as Snohomish would have furnished us. We thank the Y. M. C. A. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger boys for their kindness. If there is such a thing as honor in athletic sports we would like to suggest that one or two or three high schools on the coast might profit by practising it when they deal with other schools. The habit of breaking contracts is not a good one to form in the high school. The association has taken up the matter of building an asphalt tennis court in the near future. The Normal has put out a magnificent baseball team. With Mr. Leavy to secure the games and Mr. Bowman to lead the team to victory there will be things doing in baseball. LOCALS. (By Louise Walker and Helen Linden.) THINGS OF INTEREST. The faculty had an enjoyable evening on Wednesday, March 26. This was one of a series of parties of the year. The faculty was divided into three divisions for entertainment, each division to entertain twice during the year. One of these divisions presented a play, "The Shakespearean Conference,'' to the rest of the faculty, after which the east and audience adjourned to the faculty room, where a genuine college spread followed. The following is an extract from the W. W. H. S. Pedestal: First Girl—"Oh, kids, there are 300 girls at Bellingham and only five boys." Second Girl—"Well, five will do me." We would like to inform our Walla Walla friends that we have twenty-five boys, and that quality, not quantity, counts. Mrs. Nettleton entertained very delightfully the Seniors, Saturday evening, March 28. The Shakespearean Conference, which was given Thursday night, was repeated.

Western's current science building.Haggard Hall, is in violation of at least 10 state and federal safety codes, according to a reportcommissioned by the university. The report, released in January by Earl Walls Associates of California,found that Haggard had outlived its usefulness as a science facility. According to the report, safetyproblems posed by Haggard include inadequate ventilation in the chemistry laboratories,inadequate space to store hazardous chemicals, a lack of separate plumbing systems for sewage andtoxic wastes and the use of asbestos to insulate the building's pipes and attic. The electrical, heating,air conditioning and ventilation systems all are being pushed beyond their operating capacity. In sciencelaboratories, fume hoods are used to dispose of hazardous chemical fumes. But according to the report,Haggard's fume hoods are operating well below current environmental safety requirements. In addition, the hoods release fumes near fresh air intakes causing "dangerous cross-contamination." Western cancontinue using Haggard as a science building because it is protected by a "grandfather clause" thatexempts buildings constructed prior to the adoption of a code, from that code. But Haggard's safetyproblems have prompted the university to include $46 million in its capital budget request to thelegislature for new science facilities, Don Cole, vice president for Business and Financial Affairs, saidGov. Booth Gardner's capital budget recommendations to the Legislature Dec. 20 will be the firstindication whether the request will be funded. "If there is no funding in the foreseeable future, we will have to take a hard look at the curriculum and see what we can do," Cole said. Funds for the new buildingcould be appropriated in one sum, or in phases. Cole said. If funds are appropriated, the facilities couldtake six years to construct. Meanwhile, Cole and Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs, saidthey plan to appoint a special committee, possibly this week, to review the use of hazardouschemicals and other harmful agents on campus. "(The committee) will develop a policy on how weacquire, use, store and dispose of hazardous and toxic chemicals," Ford said. "We are actively involvedin examin- S^HHiiliSiSHIliiil^B Vandals 'trash' vehicles rized" this weekend when one or more vandalsinflicted almost $5,000 worth of damage on 20 vehicles. Campus Police Lt. Lee Brown said thatsometime between 2:30 and 4:20 a.m. Sunday the vehicles were vandalized and suffered "every kindof damage imaginable." Because 20P, which is behind the water tower south of Kappa Ridgeway, isisolated and surrounded by trees, it's more prone to acts of vandalism, Brown said. One broken mirroror a dented door is the most likely incident of vehicle vandalism on campus. He said he can rememberincidents when three, four or five cars were vandalized, or when considerable damage had been doneto one vehicle. But Brown said he has never seen an incident where 20 vehicles were "totally trashed." Radio antennas were bent, sunroofs were broken, mirrors were smashed or torn off, license plates were bent and torn off, doors were kicked and dented, convert i ble tops were ripped and interiors weredamaged. One vehicle for example, had its left rear window smashed, its left front door sprung out ofalignment, its left side body panel dented, its left side mirror and left side windshield wiper broken, itsglove box cover ripped off the dashboard, its turn signal and windshield wiperarms bent on the steeringcolumn and its dimmer light switch broken off the column. A convert ible top was torn off one carcausing $800 worth of damage and $65 worth of property was stolen from one vehicle, he said. Brown said he had no details of the investigation into the incident, which is being handled by an investigation team. Fine time Parking official suggests Â£iiatiÂ£U3Lbe ineiDeased :||iiy:(l^Cjiiiigi MIKE GWNKVietnamese student DatPhanpeiforms a classical guitar number ^tinteniia^iw By David Cuillier Parkingcitations on Western's campus could increase as much as $ 12 by next fall if a suggestion by a parkingauthority is accepted by university and state officials. Parking administrator Dorothy Telles suggested to the Parking Advisory Committee at its meeting last Friday that citations be increased to $15 forthose who park without a proper permit. Telles said she suggested the increase to $15 from $3 not tobring more money to the parking office, but to deter non-permit drivers from using permit-paid lots."People are paying no attention to the $3 fine," she said. "What happens is when they take thechance to park without a permit, someone who has one will be pushed out of the parking lot." If thecommittee were to draft a proposal by January, the increase could be in effect by fall quarter of nextyear, Telles said. The proposal would be presented to Western's administration, the Board ofTrustees, go through a public hearing and then be sent to code administrators in Olympia, Telles said. Telles told the committee that violations of parking without a permit were 26,105 last year. Shecompared this number to the 24,415 violators caught in 1983-84. Non-permit violations account for 54percent of all citations, while out-of-area violations account for 16 percent of all parking citations,Telles said. Non-permit holders are those who have no permits at all and park on campus. Out-of-areaviolaters are those who park outside of their designated permit lot. A survey on fines recently wascompleted by Telles, who talked with parking officials at other state universities. "When I told (otherparking officials) how many citations we gave out. and they went 'wow.' I ^SeeSiÂ»AR^Gv'p.;6 xÂ£k)^:SProposed AS agenda avoids controversy A preliminary legislative agenda that avoids controversy andfocuses on higher education issues will go before the Associated Students Board of Directorstomorrow for discussion. Unlike last year's agenda, which included positions on apartheid, abortionand gay rights, the six items approved so far by the AS Legislative and Community Affairs Committeeresemble Western's budget request to. the Legislature. The numberrone priority established by theLCAC for the board's consideration is equitable funding between the state's regional universities saidCommittee Chairman Dan Wood, AS vice president for external affairs. Western currently receives$513 less per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student from the state than Central and Eastern Washingtonuniversities, Wood said. Another item adopted by the LCAC supports Western's request to theLegislature to raise its enrollment lid by 150 FTE in each year of the 1987-89 biennium. The LCAC alsosupports W_estern's request to the Legislature for $ 1.8 million to partially fund a proposed remodel ofthe Viking Union. Wood said the LCAC supports a recommendation by the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board that asks the Legislature for more than $ 100 million in salary increases for thestate's higher education faculty during the next biennium. The increases would bring salary levels inWashington up to levels at similar, "peer" institutions in other states. The LCAC request, however, asksthat salaries of student teaching assistants and research assistants also be raised to the level of theirout-of-state peers. Other agenda items ask for an increase in reciprocity agreements with other statesand nations and request help in financ ing the construction and operation of day-care facilities toincrease educational access for students with children. The LCAC may approve additional items ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986 Clause exempts Haggard Hall from rules ing the issues." New science facilities are the number-two priority in Western's capital budget request, following the second phase of the "Arts/Tech" project. The $3.2 million requested for phase two would be used tobuild classrooms and laboratories for the new technology building and to construct a new campus artgallery. Haggard was designed in the 1950s and completed in 1960 when Western had only 3,200students. Now, more than 9,000 students attend Western. University Safety Officer Jose Harrison saidsafety codes are much more strict now than they were when Haggard was built. "There is a greatconcern with the present state (of Haggard)," Harrison said. "That's why we're asking for a newbuilding." Harrison said the chemical odors that can be smelled in the halls of Haggard demonstrate theextent of the ventilation problem. And Haggard doesn't have enough space to properly store chemicals,Harrison said. "It's frightening," he said. "Chemicals are stacked eight feet high. "Chemicals arestored alphabetically, not by their reactivity. If there were an earthquake or someone bumped into them, I don't know what would happen." A lack of separate plumbing for sewage arid toxic wastes createsproblems for Western, Harrison said. Ignitable chemicals can't be disposed of by washing them downthe drain, he said. They are solidified in plastic milk containers filled with sawdust and taken to beburned at the Thermal Reduction Company, Inc. in Bellingham. The use of asbestos piping andinsulation is widespread across campus, Harrison said. Instead of replacing the asbestos with asafer insulating material, the pipes are encapsulated or painted with magnesium oxide as a temporaryremedy. The encapsulation lasts about three years, he said. "It is safe to say that Haggard Hall isborderline safe," he said. But Western has taken some measures to guard against the potential safetyhazards, he added. In May of 1985, a "Right to Know" law was passed to ensure faculty, staff andstudents have knowledge of the chemicals with which they may be working, he said. Harrison said hedeveloped material data safety sheets to be checked out with each chemical. The safety sheets provideinformation about the inherent hazards of each chemical and what to do for first aid or in case of a spill."Students need to know what the hell is going on," he said. In case of a chemical spill, the universityhas five spill kits on campus, Harrison said. Haggard Hall has one, university police has two, HuxleyCollege has one and the physical plant has one. Harrison said each kit has a different cleaning agent tomop up after most of the chemicals used on campus. If money is appropriated for the new facilities, they would be constructed adjacent to the Environmental Studies Center and would house the biology,chemistry, science education and other science programs. Budget appropriations "for a new sciencebuilding would enable the university to use Haggard for other purposes. According to the Walls report,space shortages exist in Wilson Library, Bond Hall, the Humanities Building and High Street Hall.Although Haggard can't safely house science facilities, it could be remodeled for other uses.CROSSCOUNTRY SKI EQUIPMENT Sales Rental â€¢ Large Selection New Used Bikes â€¢ A Full Service Repair Facility â€¢ Skateboards â€¢ Snowboards FAIRHAVEN BICYCLE 1103 11th Street onBellingham's South Side Western Front Editor Winter Quarter '87 NEEDED: Western Front Editor,Winter Quarter 1987.

Magumi Kobayashi, president of the club, welcomedmore than 200 guests who filled the Viking Union Lounge. Members of the International Students' Club gather to promote understanding between people from different cultures and to get to know each other better, Kobayashi said. International songs, dances and karate demonstrations entertained guestswhile traditional foods were prepared. People sampled cuisine from various countries including Korea,China, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Italy and Libya, Kobayashi said. Appreciative laughter filled the VULounge when Kobayashi said, "Trying to get 10 different countries to cooperate at the same time isdifficult." When the international buffet was ready to be served, she asked guests to "move quickly andsmoothly to the table of your choice and don't fight." Fighting did break out on stage when DuaneSammons, owner and chief instructor of the Bellingham Academy of Self Defense, and 20 karatestudents, demonstrated a variety of martial arts techniques. Sammons has earned a fourth degree black belt in Gojuryu and holds a black belt in laido and Kenda, all forms of Japanese karate. Gojuryu is thestyle of karate taught at MIKEGWYNN Guests at International Night sample delicacies Friday in theViking Union. the academy, Sammons said. Students demonstrated different "Katas" or practicetechniques for fighting an imaginary opponent. Some opponents were not imaginary, laido, techniquesfrom the sword art, demonstrated by Reg Bratz, Ken Field, Doug Lafferty and Russ Lyman, featuredkatas for offense and defense with the Japanese "Katana," a sword with a 27-inch to 30-inch curvedblade. The laido demonstration ended with each participant executing a formal bow to his sword. DaveLarson, black belt, attacked Carla Kelley, brown belt with a dagger. Kelley, with quick turns, kicks andpunches, not only disarmed Larson but downed him. She "carved her initials in the back of his neck"'with his own dagger, Sammons said. Because Kelley's moves were so quick, Sammons asked theopponents to repeat the demonstration in slow motion and described each move as it was made.Sammons dubbed AI Kelley, Carla's 11-year-old brother, their own "Karate Kid." AI Kelley is the rankingbrown belt in his age bracket, Sammons said. Bill Carter, black belt, attacked the "Karate Kid," but AIKelley defeated Carter with well-placed punches and kicks. Kelley downed his attacker by climbingCarter's six-foot, 200-pound frame. The festivities resembled a large family reunion with everyonetalking at once in a dozen different languages. Patient adults waited in line for the bountiful internationalbuffet while youngsters roamed the room. Entertainers from around the world performed while, guestssampled ethnic foods. Performances included folk dances from Iran and China, a Vietnamese martialarts demonstration, piano and guitar solos, and songs sung in English, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.Simeon Nixon, from the island of Fiji, described activities and teaching methods used at the University ofthe South Pacific. The university serves an area three times the size of Europe, but the combinedland mass of all the islands is about the size of Denmark, Nixon said. Unlike American universities,Nixon said, students gather at meeting places on their home islands to hear lectures broadcast by radiofrom Suva, the capitol of Fiji. PEACESAT, an earth-orbiting satellite, relays the broadcasts to the far-flung reaches of the campus, Nixon explained. A hush fell over the room when Tomo Sato played theviolin to accompany Magumi. Kobayashi, club president, who sang a Japanese song titled "The MoonOver the Old Castle." Ya.sunori Hasiiwa, from Japan, played the guitar and sang a medley of songs.Enthusiastic applause greeted Hasiiwa's English rendition of "Twist and Shout."

Chinese administrators fccM service set tour Western's program I for graduate student ByKim Washburn Three administrators from a China cooperative language and study program touredWestern to get an overview of the China studies department. Arthur Kimmel, director of foreign studiesat Western, was host to the three visitors from Shanghai's Fudan University over the weekend. CaiChuan-lian, director of the overseas students department at Fudan University, Fan Yu Min, administratorof the overseas students department at Fudan and Chen A Bao, Chinese language instructor werehonored at a reception given at Western's Faculty Club Friday night. The China Cooperative Language and Study Program is a branch of the Council on International Educational Exchange, a consortium of institutions around the world striving to accomplish what one college working alone could never do,..According to a brochure from the CIEE, participants in cooperative programs in China represent thelargest number of U.S. students studying in that country. Western, as one of the cooperative centersfor study abroad, has participated in the China program for the past three years. Kimmel, who also is amember of the CIEE board of directors, said this particular type of exchange program has a sense ofpermanence about it. It operates year after year on a solid academic base, he said. Kimmel saidWestern doesn't send many students to China in comparison to the number it sends to other countries. The main obstacle is the fact programs with China are much more expensive, he added. Western hassent a few students to Mongolia in a program that "has been fairly successful," Kimmel said. VIenrySchwarz of Western has developed a program through Ho Hot University in Mongolia. "This is Western'sonly Asian exchange with a track record," Kimmel said. Fudan University features liberal arts andsciences programs. The summer session at Fudan specializes in improving Chinese language skills.The program also emphasizes practical vocabulary and conversation, special lectures and culturalactivities, according to the brochure put out by the ICEE. Students interested in applying for theprogram are required to complete one year of Mandarin Chinese and have one Chinese area studycourse before beginning the program. While in China, students are housed in university dormitories.Although the program is now a summer session, it was originally an academic year course andstudents who elect to do so may stay and work into an academic year, Kimmel said. A memorialservice for Callic Lynn Garcia, 34, a Western student from Sedro-Woolley, is scheduled for 4 p.m.Friday at Campus Christian Ministry. Garcia, and her husband Pat Neble, were found dead shortly after10 p.m. Nov. 11, at the family home in Sedro-Woolley. Mary Kermen, spokeswoman with the SkagitCounty Sheriff's office, said Neble apparently shot Garcia and then shot himself. Garcia was workingtoward a master's degree in education at Western. Neble was a fifth-grade teacher in Stanwood. "Lynnwas a talented teacher and was an excellent model for those preparing for the teachingprofession,"according to a memorial notice from Western's School of Education.

Wilcox examined the "why" of extreme beliefs during his lecture on the"Psychology of Extremism" at Western last Thursday. His conclusions were based on more than 20years of studying political organizations on the far left and far right. Wilcox said he spends half his time as a carpenter and half as a researcher. His research led him, in 1965, to establish the WilcoxCollection on Contemporary Political Movements, one of the largest of its kind, at the University ofKansas. The collection contains about 5,000 books and pamphlets covering about 7,000 extremistgroups. He also publishes "Guide to the American Right,"Guide to the American Left," "Guide to theAmerican Occult"and "The Wilcox Report," a newsletter on the American left and right. Wilcox hasinvestigated these groups from the inside, by attending their meetings and speaking with theirmembers. He has come to know, he said, about 400 members of extremist groups, having dinner withthem, and in some cases forming 20-year friendships with them. "They were all united â€” every one of them â€” in their desire, in their own way, to do the right thing as they saw it," he said. Extremists canbe identified more accurately by the way they behave than by what they believe, he said. "Extremismhas much more to do with a manner of relating, a kind of shrillness, an anger, a tendency to call names,a tendency to be unfair and arbitrary," he said. "I've met people who were Marxists, which one wouldthink of as being very extreme, who were very rational and even-handed; interested in what 1 had to say;were always glad when somebody contradicted them because it helped them think things out." Acharacteristic of a fanatic or extremist is an inability to see another point of view. "Their emotionalinvestment in their beliefs is so strong that it's almost painful for them to consider a counterview," hesaid. Extremist groups tend to have a strong desire to censor or silence their critics. "When they want to silence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good," he said. "The desireto censor or silence comes from the fear of ideas." To avoid being iured into an extremist group,"Whenever you. find yourself inor-dinantly convinced by a particular argument, it's a good idea toexpose yourself to counter propaganda. "Examine your beliefs." Wilcox said. "Develop an appreciationfor clear, logical thinking." . "Any time someone says 'trust me,' or like the Rev. Moon says. 'You don't need a mind, I'11 do your thinking for you'â€” the minute you hear that, get out. "Don't ever lose yourcapacity for skepticism. It's the most valuable thing you've got." he said.

"In aromantic context when we become infatuated with another person we idealizethem. We tend toemphasize their good points and overlook their faults. We tend to rationalize their behaviors. We tendto interpret things positively." Fanatics, he said, usually are unable to understand their own motives injoining these groups. "People who become blind to their own motives are basically strangers tothemselves," he said. Their motives are often an attempt to satisfy a need not directly related to theideologies of the groups they join. Wilcox made a strong distinction between a "reason to believe" anda "need to believe," saying an extremist is characterized by a "need to believe." "With the need tobelieve, the belief is comforting, it fulfills some important psychological function. The emphasis is upon feelings and anxiety reduction." "Most people, and particularly political ideologues or members of various cults and related movements, believe what they believe simply because it makes them feel good," hesaid. Individual motives for adopting ideologies and joining ideological groups differ, but Wilcox outlined nine basic categories. The first, the need to feel morally superior, Wilcox said was nearly universal."Moral worth is acquired from beliefs and causes," he said. "One can acheive status in the eyes ofoneself and other people by believing and championing good causes, whether it's being kind to animalsor shooting black people, depending upon the culture you're a part of." A second motive, closelyrelated to the first, is low self-esteem. "Very few ideological fanatics are very satisfied with themselves.Inwardly they tend to be perfectionists. It's easier to imagine a perfect world than it is to imagine aperfect self. Their political activism is basically a perfuming operation." Wilcox cited envy andresentment as the primary motive for many leftists and social reformers, and for classical anti-semitism. "The implicit message is that anyone who is more successful than I am must have gotten there by some dishonest or exploitative means," he said. Propaganda addiction is another motive he said was fairlycommon among members of extremist groups. Certain personalities are especially vulnerable to a skillful emotional appeal, he said. "Some people really get caught up in this, it's hard to believe. Their wholebody just seems to respond to what's going on around them." Once, he said, he played a record ofGeorge Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, at a meeting of the Socialist Labor Party."He (Rockwell) gave a very stirring speech. His message was terrible but he delivered it about as well as I think anybody could. "One fellow in the room was just transfixed. This guy had been a member ofthe Socialist Labor Party for years, he was a confirmed Marxist, and he was transfixed. He listened."Later on I noticed him taking down the address of the American Nazi Party off the record jacket." Threeyears later, Wilcox said he found the man had moved to another part of the country and become amember of the American Nazi Party. A fourth reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is toovercome feelings of helplessness. This, he said, is "fairly common among some of the more nuttypolitical extremists." Another reason he gave is the need to feel unique or special. Many fanatics, hesaid, are people who are outcasts for some reason. "Unusual belief systems tend to rationalize a feltsense of alienation from others because one is different," he said. "The political cause or the cult accepts them. It assigns special meaning to their several other people in the body shop belonged to the localKlavern, and he felt that he could get along better with his co-workers, and maybe get a raise andpromotion if he became like them. So he joined the Ku Klux Klan, for as trivial a reason as that." Somepeople develop belief systems through an extension of the parent-child conflict, he said, becomingrightists or leftists because their parents were or were not. "Ireally never met a hardcore radical â€”left or right â€” that I ever felt was completely grown up. They tended to be impa- VVhen they want tosilence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good.9 â€” Laird Wilcoxstrangeness." People also join ideological movements as a diversion from personal problems, he said."Many hardcore fanatics and activists have lives that are full of turmoil," he said. Social pressure isanother reason people join extremist groups. Many people, Wilcox said, acquire their beliefs through a "kind of osmosis" from the people around them. Wilcox cited one young man who became a member of the Ku Klux Klan because "he worked in a body shop and tient, whining, complaining children," he said. A final reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is suffering from paranoid delusions. Thesepeople, he said, are usually paranoid first and political second, and are too suspicious and fearful toaccomplish much. "Having extreme political feelings and opinions is very much a part of the humancondition," he said. "I learned a long time ago not to hate people or denigrate them because they hadunusual political ideas." r One Gf The Nation's LeadingEmployers Is Now Interviewing On Campus.

Smith lia mum Western's Alumni Association will launch its legislative lobbying effortswith "Legislative dinners" in December, Chris Goldsmith, Alumni Office director, said. Alumni willinvite legislators from several key districts to dinner. At the dinner, one couple, consisting of at leastone alumni, will be assigned to each legislator. At the dinner, alumni will tell legislators about Western's primary legislative goals for the upcoming session in January and why those goals should win support. None of this will surprise legislators. Goldsmith said. "They're invited to dinners like this all the time,"he said. "They know what to expect." Dinners are tentatively planned in Olympia, Everett, Bellevue andsomewhere between Mount Vernon and Marysville. Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, andGoldsmith will attend the dinners. "This is just the first step in our efforts to get legislators to realizethey have numerous constituents who care about Western," Froderberg said. The Alumni Office now isarranging a telephone legislative lobbying network in which 400 to 500 alumni are expected toparticipate. Alumni advocates will call legislators in their districts and push the school's position whenissues important to Western arise in the Legislature. The network is expected to be in operation inJanuary.

She compared Western to Washington StateUniversity because of its similar parking program. WSU fines students $15 for the same violation. Finesat Western haven't been increased since 1980, when the fines increased $2, Telles said. Telles told thecommittee the suggested increase probably wouldn't affect parking revenue because she predicted thenumber of citations would decrease. Before 1980, when on-campus parking wasn't so scarce, the finefor not having a permit was $1, Telles said. Similarly, she said, Central Washington University charges$3 because they have "plenty of parking." According to Telles' survey. Eastern Washington Universityfines $9 for the non-permit violation, the University of Washington fines $5 and The Evergreen StateCollege fines $5. Telles said the fine would probably be reduced by one-third or one-half if paid within 24hours of the citation. Committee member Robert Stoops, of the liberal studies department, agreed withTelles. "The goal is enforcement, not making money," Stoops said. Students, however, probably will not support the increase, Telles said. "We've been called every name in the book, and a few that aren't inthe book," she said. Western has had the same parking enforcement of two daytime checkers andtwo part-time night workers for three years, Telles said. Twelve percent of all citations are non-permitviolations occurring in the parking lot behind Carver Gymnasium. Telles said 14 complaints from permit holders led to car towings this year. "You don't have to have three citations to be towed," Telles said.Committee member Fred Ondeck, of the student employment center, said some people may not seethe increase as solving the problem. "We as a committee want to show people what parking is doingabout the problems. The main problem is the scarcity of parking," he said. The committee discussed the problem of scarce parking and how it could be solved. Telles told the committee a plot of land on thecorner of 21 st Street and College Parkway will open 400 to 500 parking spots for students. The projectcost the parking department $21,000 and parking will be free of charge. The lot, now being prepared, willbe ready when the land is bulldozed and settled, she said. Telles could not give a time estimate of when it will be completed. Possibilities of building a parking lot east of the Ridgeway residences and buildinga parking garage also were discussed.

Wood said a conscious effort was made by committee members to includeonly higher education issues in the agenda. The disadvantage of taking controversial stands on non-educational issues, he said, is that limited lobbying resources are "spread thin" on potentially divisiveissues. Committee member DeAnn Pullar, AS Community Liaison,said last year's legislative agendaincluded several controversial issues, which should not have been included and which she, as amember of the LCAC last year, opposed. By attempting to be more representative of all students, thisyear's agenda could get broader support from students and legislators than an agenda that tookpositions on controversial issues, she said. Society wants smoke-free day The tenth annual GreatAmerican Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is scheduled for Thursday. The goalof this year's smokeout is to get at least one in every five smokers to give up cigarettes for 24 hours. The day is intended to be good-natured and upbeat,"according to the Cancer Society. Western's StudentHealth Center will participate in the event, said Jennifer Roy, director of the center. A bulletin board in the Health Center will carry pamphlets and facts about smoking. Weather permitting, the center'swellness . cart will be in Red Square distributing information and offering encouragement, Roysaid. The Associated Students Drug Information Office has no plans to participate in this year'sSmokeout Day. Gay Daugherty, coordinator of the Drug Information Center, said the office usually gets a packet of information from the American Cancer Society. "We haven't received anything from them."Daugherty said. "I didn't even know what day the Smokeout was." In the 10 years since the first nationalsmokeout, a decline in tobacco consumption has taken place, and fewer than 30 percent of Americanadults now smoke. In 1976, more than 40 percent of Americans smoked, according to a NationalHealth Interview Survey. More people are quitting smoking. From 1978 to 1985, the number of formersmokers rose to more than 37 million from 31.5 million. Eighteen percent of college women and 10percent of college men still smoke daily, a recent study for the National Institute on Drug Abuseindicated. CHRIS BAI inviN The American Cancer Society offers these tips for Smokeout Day: *Throwout all cigarettes and clean out all ashtrays in your home or car. *Exercise and change habitsassociated with smoking. *Keep your hands and mind busy to avoid the temptation of smoking. *Reward yourself for not smoking with oral substitutes such as gum. *Thinking about negative imagesconnected with smoking can help alleviate urges to smoke.

Pesticides used todeter insects also are killing animals and altering their behavior. Ron Kendall, director of the institute,said at a presentation in the Wilson Library Thursday. The toxins disturb their reproductive conduct andchange the quality of the environment, he said. Larry Brewer, an assistant professor at Western's Huxley College who collaborates with Kendall on wildlife research, warned that toxins found in pesticides also can be harmful to humans. "If it is affecting wildlife, the potential is there that it will affect human life."Brewer said in a telephone interview. Brewer assists Kendall in conducting tests to determine the effectsof toxic chemicals on birds and other mammals in hopes of protecting wildlife from harmful pesticides.Only three universities in the United States conduct such tests â€” Michigan State University, CornellUniversity and Western. In the institute's laboratory at Huxley, bobwhite quail are tested to determinethe consequences of pesticides on birds. The emphasis of the testing, however, has been on examiningwildlife in its natural environment, Kendall said. He measures the mortality of birds in specific areas anddetermines if the cause of death is chemically related, Birds, however, hide when they die, which makes the bodies hard to find, he said.

Brewersaid, "a major source of wildlife loss of productivity is the effect of agricultural chemicals." SkagitValley particularly is guilty of chemically damaging the wild life, Kendall said. The production of peasand other vegetable crops in the area has entailed the aerial application of pesticides. "In Skagit Valleya very unique situation exists . . . they've created a wonderful water fowl breeding area and at thesame time they are hitting it continuously with a multitude of chemicals," Kendall said at thepresentation. Kendall examines whether chemical residue in Skagit Valley is present in the vegetationand insects the birds feed on and what effects it has on the birds. Richard Mayer, a Huxley professor,aids Kendall in examining the effects of chemical toxins on birds. He determines pesticide levels in water and grass. Mayer also examines the gastrointestinal tract, and organ tissues of dead-birds for tracesof toxic chemicals, he said while sitting in his office in the Environmental Studies Building. Mayer saidgolf courses particularly are to blame for spreading toxic chemicals. Kendall agrees. "You see thesepretty courses . . . with nice green turfs . . .the reason they look so pretty is because they have to usecompounds (chemical toxins) to keep them that way; lots of herbicides and insecticides," Kendall said.Kendall is concerned because many birds use the golf course as a refuge.

"Look at it,"he challenged the onlookers." it's shiny, it's waxed. You know why that it is?" he asked, "it was treatedwith pesticides." "It is almost impossible now to produce an apple without some form of ' damagewithout (using) some kind of a pesticide." Kendall said. Kendall said he would rather buy a damaged fruit than.one treated with pesticides. "1 would buy the wormy apple, I swear I would," Kendall said with asmile. Pesticides, however, arc not always harmful, Kendall explained. In the spring of 1984 a chemicalwas sprayed in Florida. It killed insects, bringing them to the surface where birds ate them. ecausethe food was so readily available, the bird population increased by 300 percent. Kendall said. "It wasnever easier for them to get food," he said with a laugh. The tests Kendall performs are costly,| he said.Western, however, gives the institute very little funding, so the majority of the money Kendall receivesfor studies comes from grants. The Institute of Wildlife Toxicology recently received 5100,000 from theEnvironmental Protection Agency to study the effects of chemical toxins on songbirds, Kendall said. Inaddition. Shell Oil, Chevron Chemical, SMC Corp. .and other chemical industry corporations havedonated money for testing.

Western had no trouble putting its priorities in order. Thousands ofstudents take laboratory classes in Haggard Hall each year, many of them to fulfill General UniversityRequirements. By any modern standards, the building is unsafe and potentially dangerous. An adequateventilation system and ample storage space for hazardous chemicals are non-existent. But there's noshortage of asbestos. It's not certain exactly when university officials realized how serious Haggard'senvironmental problems were, although it's hard to believe a consultant's report was needed to informthem ventilation is so poor the halls reek- This August, finally acknowledging in its Facilities and CapitalPlan that Haggard "posed serious health and safety concerns," Western established the construction ofsafer science facilities as its number-two priority in its capital budget request to the Legislature.BecauscHaggard poses "serious concerns," why not establish safe science facilities as the number-onepriority? But the technology programs, which will train workers for the Boeing Company, John FlukeManufacturing, Inc. and other industrial firms, are Western's number-one priority. And Western's effort tofinish the new.technology building as soon as possible is concrete proof of that priority. Once thebuilding is constructed, then technology will be a permanent fixture at Western and the new buildingwill justify the further expansion of programs. Administration officials may say the arts and sciences arethe core of a university education, but one glance at this school's capital budget request shows exactlywhat kind of future is being built for Western. Reagan's speech digs him deeper The mendacity ofPresident Reagan's TV speech last Thursday is clear in several factual contradictions reported by topgovernment officials and the president himself concerning the Iranian arms deals. According to The NewYork Times, Secretary of State George Schuitz publicly assured foreign ministers we were blocking a\\arms sales to Iran, while the White House secretly was arranging for such arms shipments to Teheran.Reagan, in his speech, stated the 18-month long "secret, diplomatic initiative" between the White Houseand Iran attempted to safely return all the hostages. This "initiative," by Reagan's own admission,authorized the shipment of arms to Iran. The arms deal was accompanied by a message that Iran mustoppose all forms of terrorism, and suggested they could influence the pro-Iranian group to release thehostages held in Lebanon. It takes only a little more comprehension than Reagan seems to possess tosee that this is tradingarms to Iran in exchange for our hostages. Something he came on TV to deny.Reagan stated the"initiative"also was to bring an end to the Iran-Iraq war. Later in the speech, thepresident said these "modest deliveries . . . could rot affect the outcome of the 6-year war." Still later,Reagan said his secret overtures were to help "bring about a ceasefire . . . to prevent a widening of thewar." By shipping arms to Iran?! "We did notâ€”repeatâ€”did not trade weapons or anything else forhostages," Reagan said. "As President, I have always operated on the belief that, given the facts, theAmerican people will make the right decision." If only the American people had been given the facts in'84. !mmm^a^^^ Brian Malvey, editor-in chief* Niels Nokkentved, managing editor Juli Bergstrom, newseditor â€¢ Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistant news editors â€¢Mark Connolly, opinioneditor â€¢ Kristi Moen, sports editor â€¢ Brian Bean, assistant sports editor â€¢ Judy Averill, ACCENTeditor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor â€¢Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager â€¢ Dan Tyler, photo editor Mike Gwynn,photographer Mike Carroll, editorial cartoonist Laura Towey Chris Baldwin, graphic artists Lyle Harris,adviser The Front is the official newspaper of Western Washington University.

On this cold Monday morning I lookedforward, more than usual, to my hour-between-classes breakâ€”complete with hot coffee and anoversized chocolate chip cookie. As usual, I chose a table in the Viking Union coffee shop. But as Isettled into a cozy spot with thoughts of reading some intriguing term paper research, another piece of literature caught my eye. It was cleverly titled, "How well does your method of birth control work?"Well, to tell you the truth, it was the furthest thing from my mind! What was on my mind was the two 10-page term papers and the exam due in exactly one week. So, as I sat enjoying a hot cup of coffee, Iwas subjected to think about sex. Not just sex, mind you. but about my odds of getting pregnant. Tothose of vou at the Sex 1 nfo Renee Gionet MHI^WBB people in the coffee shop, of all places, are going to benefit from your "menu" of birth control devices? I don't mean to infer that this information is notuseful, but your method of- distribution could be a bit more appropriateâ€” say in the evening hoursnear the dorm area. People sitting near me were laughing and joking (perhaps from embarassment)about your flier. Tell me, who would feel comfortable sitting at a table with a member of the oppositesex. who may only be an acquain-tence from class, having to talk across a flier about birth controlCenter 1 ask: Do you really think methods? Guest Commentary Sure, it's a necessary piece ofinformation (for those who engage in the act), but couldn't you be a bit more discrete? Perhapsmention in a more sophisticated way that your office provides this information to anyone in need ofit. The couple across the room seemed to enjoy the information you so thoughtfully provided. Sheabruptly stood up and said. "I thought you told me that way was safe?" Bet he wished he'd brought hersomewhere else for coffee and a doughnut. I would find information such as this a bit easier to digestwith my coffee if it were in a different form. Perhaps something more entertaining or intellectuallystimulating, such as a question format with the answers printed upside down. By the way, a friend ofmine walked by. noticed your "menu." and with wide eyes said, "Is this something of yours'?" No. itcame with the table. 'Humanism' is religion too Secular philosophies and their supposed connectionwith the public school room have been a lively topic in the media lately. While I do not agree with theextremism of some anti-humanist groups. I do believe there are some definite instances where theseparation of church and state is breached by the teaching of secular religion. 777^ New WebsterDictionary defines naturalism as: "the doctrine that there is no interference of any super-natural powerin the universe."God is taken out of the picture. Secular humanism is a natural outgrowth from this view, making humankind the sole arbitrator of all truth, morality and value. Man becomes a god untohimself. In the Torcaso case of 1961, the Supreme Court held that secular humanism was as much areligion as Christianity or Judaism. Of course, if this is true, it has no right to be taught evensubliminally in the classroom. But is it taught? I feel the best example I can use is from my ownpersonal experience. In my high school humanities class I was handed a textbook entitled. The GreatReligions by Which Men Live. by Floyd H. Ross. In the chapter on Christianity, Ross explained "it isalmost impossible to get a true historical picture of the man who unintentionally became the founder of the Christian religion." He even says "scholars recognize that we can never know Jesus as he really ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1$, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 11 Students deserve their due swims WesternFront: This is not a letter expressing any political opinion, nor is it a rebuttal to anything printed in yourperiodical. It is merely a letter from a couple of college students who wish to take advantage ofour right of access to a free press in order that we may be heard, for we have a grievance. We are beingrobbed of exercise time at the Carver Gymnasium pool. We appreciate the thorough workout the bodyreceives through swimming and make it a point to swim every day during a designated lap swim time atthe Western pool. We chose the 8 a.m. time slot because it fit in well with our respective schedules.Ideally, we would like to get in a good half-hour's swim, from 8 to 8:30 a.m., before we get out in time tomake it to our 9 a.m. classes. And, according to the pool schedule, this should be no problem. However, the Western swim club/team and their instructor/coach apparently have not seen the schedule, or,more likely, have a casual disregard for it. Every morning we enter the pool area expecting to be ableto "jump right in," as it were, and begin our planned half-hour workout. But every morning we are forcedto wait for about five minutes or moreâ€”dripping wet, and coldâ€”while the swim club finishes up itshour-long routine with instructions on a more effective flip-turn, the crawl stroke or a "ten-lap warm-down," among other things. We did not mind at first, and if it only happened occasionally we would becontent to let it slide. But as a daily occurrence, we cannot help but feel that it is an inconsiderateintrusion into our exercise time, as well as a disregard for our schedules. Indeed, based on 30-weekschool year and at a rate of five minutes per day, by the end of the year we will have had about 12 and-a-half hours of exercise denied us. That's the equivalent of 25 half-hour sessions we will have neverbenefitted from. This all may sound a bit trivial to some people, but is a matter of principle with us, andthat makes it all the more important. It is also on a matter of principle that we chose to write to TheFront rather than go directly to the swim club instructor. The fact is, we shouldn't have to take thelatter avenue. We must add here that we mean no disrespect to the swim club, the instructor oranyone involved therein. They all seem to be good people, and we admire their dedication to andenjoyment of the sport of swimming. We gladly respect and do not interfere with their designatedpool time, and we are certain that upon reading this they will be reasonable enough to give us thesame consideration. Tony Kurtz, Bruce Sarjent Front editorials too anti-Reagan Western Front: Why is it that whenever President Reagan makes a move, you cry "four*? If Reagan ignores the hostagesituation, he's attacked. If Reagan moves militarily to prevent hostage taking, he's attacked. If Reaganopens diplomatic channels or attempts . to ease the situation with trade, he's attacked. While I do notagree with all of the President's policies, I at least respect the complexity of international politics. Yourself-righteous Reagan-bashing convinces no one. It is obvious what the editorials will say, even beforeone opens The Front: whatever Reagan did was wrong. It takes no intelligence to always criticize. Showsome of Andy Perdue's courage and approach the situations with fewer presuppositions and moreintelligent thought. Try proposing some solutions for once! Like Andy, you may get attacked, but atleast you'll show some of the quieter elements on this campus that some writers actually think beforethey write. Gary L. Thomas Consumers free to buy foreign goods Western Front: Many of us are aware of the recent moral conviction placed on consumers to "buy American." It seems we are traitors if we buy any foreign product instead of an American-made equivalent. I will agree that buying American-made products saves jobs and helps our economy. But, an equally important issue is competition. If aforeign producer can put out a quality product at a lower price than an American counterpart, should we be criticized for buying the better deal. Take, for example, cars: foreign cars have been shown tobe of better quality overall than most American-made cars. And, on top of that, they cost consumerssignificantly less than most of the U.S.-made cars. The "good 'ol American way" tells me to go for thebetter deal, not pay more for a lower quality product to support American manufacturers. Don't get mewrong, I'm not anti-American. There was a time when American-made cars were of good quality and thecosts were competitive. Times have changed, and 1 feel that as a consumer I have a right to buy theproducts that make the most sense. If I am expected to support American-made products, somechanges better be made. Until the U.S.-made cars, motorcycles, stereo equipment, etc. can becompetitively priced with equal or better quality than the foreigners, I and many others will continue tobuy the best deal offered, even if that means going against American morality and purchasing a foreign-made product. Bra J Barrie Hazardous waste is trickling down Western Front: Reagan's trickle downeffect is finally showing its colors. First with the nation's nuclear waste dump being trickled upon us,and now, locally, with Columbia Cement's bid to use hazardous . waste to fuel their kilns. The federalgovernment defines a hazardous waste as "one that may cause or significantly contribute to seriousillness or death, or that possess substantial threat to human health or the environment when improperlymanaged." Chemical Processors, Inc., a Seattle-based company that needs to get rid of these wasteproducts, and Columbia Cement, who needs cheap fuel to help avoid bankruptcy, describe hazardous wastes as used oils and solvents. New solvents and oils might be safe to burn if properly managed butthese are used products, contaminated by metals, paints, epoxys and a host of things that evenChemical Processors might not know about. Too little information, testing and safeguards makehazardous waste burning .a very dubious proposition. Moreover, if it is illegal to burn hazardous wastesin highly populated areas (500.000 or more), is Bellingham any safer? Mayor Douglas is a member ofthe N.W. Air Pollution Authority. Ask him.

Returning there one week after a 41-12shelling by the University of Puget Sound, the Vikings closed out the 1986 season Saturday, dropping a 49-0 contest to Pacific Lutheran University. The loss put Western's record at 2-7, 1-5 in theNorthern Division of the Columbia Football League. PLU, ranked fifth in the National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletics Division II, is champion of the CFL North at 6-0, 8-1 overall. After opening theseason with two straight wins, Western ended the year with seven straight losses. In the last threegames, the Vikings have been outscored, 131-26. Western never was in the game, fumbling the ball six times, losing three, and throwing three interceptions. The Vikings only managed eight first downs and 104 total yards, just 30 on the ground. After Western's first two possessions ended prematurely with afumble and an interception, PLU's Dwayne Smith blocked a Peter LaBarge punt that Keith Krassinpounced on in the end zone for the Lutes' first touchdown. Krassin recovered another Western fumbleon the Viking 19. After two sacks and a penalty, Jeff Yarnell threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to SteveWelch. Welch now has caught at least one touchdown pass in 14 straight games. Pat Dorsey ran for127 yards in just six carries and scored two touchdowns, one from 45 yards out. Erik Krebs also scored twice while carrying the ball nine times for 42 yards. Smith recovered yet another Western fumble atthe Viking 14. Two plays later, Yarnell hit Welch from seven yards out to push PLU to a 21-0 halftimelead. The second half was no different as Dorsey and Krebs scored twice each for the 49-0 final.Western's only offensive spark was provided by Scott Lohr, who picked up 87 yards in 29 carries. Thefreshman tailback finished the year as Western's leading rusher, with 458 yards in 128 carries.

The crews raced the 1000 meter Frostbite Regatta on Greenlake Saturday and the three-mile Head of the Lake Regatta Sunday. The crews racedthrough the Montlake Cut from Lake Union to Lake Washington. Saturday, the men's junior varsity eight-man boat finished first out of a field of seven while the heavyweight placed fourth and the varsity boatfinished fifth. The lightweight boat started strong but finished fourth because of equipment problems. Thefollowing day. Western entered three eight-man boats. Rather than racing head-to-head, the boats beganthe race in intervals and competed against the other boats time. The results of Western's three boatswere unavailable at press time, but coach of the mens crew team Filip Leanderson said his squad didreasonably well. Leanderson was surprised at the number of boats that competed in the regatta. "Itwas a spectacle to see," Leanderson said. "There were boats from all over the Northwest." Although theVikings compete to win each race, Leanderson maintains that the main purpose of the fall regattas is togain experience. "We're just getting ready for this spring," Leanderson said. "We just want to developindividual technique and give everybody a chance to compete. It's more of a fun race." Saturday. Western will raise money for the rowing program in the annual crew row-a-thon. The crews will row 30 miles onLake Samish. The women's junior varsity and lightweight eight person boats finished 2nd and 4th.respectively, while the novice boat also finished 4th. Sailors blow through UW Despite heavy rains,Vikes squeak past other contenders WMiiiiiiB^BBiilllii Despite rainy weather, Western's sailing teamtook first, second, third, and sixth place in various divisions in the "Fathead the Cat" regatta at LakeWhatcom over the weekend. Four Western teams competed against eleven other teams in theregatta. "The reason Western sent four teams was to give some new people some experience," teammember Erik Hauge said. In sailing competition, each school sends two teams, an "A" team and a"B"team. The A team and B team each have two members, a skipper and a crew member. Forexample, in a regatta if nine teams compete, 36 races sail. Each team would race twice. After the Aand B teams sail, points are added to give a final score. The team with thelowest total points wins theregatta. Western's team number three, skippered by Paul Dorst and ere wed by Kim Nash, took firstplace after sailing to a 62 point tie with Western's team number one. Dorst and Nash were awarded firstplace in the regatta because they ruij'tiore first-place finishes than team number one. Third place went to Western's team number two with 68 points. Following Western were the University of Washington infourth place, Oregon State University's team number one in fifth place, Western's team number four insixth place, Oregon State University's team number two in seventh place. University of Puget Sound ineighth place. University of Oregon in ninth place, Seattle University in tenth place and Royal RoadsMilitary College of Victoria, B.C. in eleventh place. Hauge said, even though the weather was not ideal,the wind kept the boats sailing at a good pace. Sixteen races were completed on Saturday."Saturday, the winds were different than usual," Hauge said. Even so, "everyone on the team had good moments and competition was good." Sunday, the winds were not as good and heavy rain hampered sailing conditions, Hauge said.

"Basically right now, we are on a role," defender BobMiller said. At the half. Western led 14-3 and began substituting its younger players. "It was importantbecause everyone got to play," player Rob Cuomo said. Now the Vikes will concentrate on preparingfor this season which begins next spring, Cuomo said.

There's nothing grandparents like better than a call from agrandchild in college. But if you do accidentally happen to interrupt Lawrence, vou ought to havesomething worth telling them For example, you could mention that you called using AT T Long DistanceService because you can depend on AT T's high quality service and exceptional value. And then you can tell them that AT T gives you immediate credit if you dial a wrong number. And that you can count onAT T for clear long distance connections.

'c 1986 AT T c AMERICAN GRC E TINGS (:ORP ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 15 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 15 Hoopstcrs hope to improve from last year Brad Jackson looked at the half-eaten sandwich on his desk and peeled off a piece of crust. "Last year,"Western's men's basketball coach said as he popped the piece of crust into his mouth, "we needed toimprove the size of our front line. We've . done that. We felt we were a good team at the end of last year. We had a good recruiting year, and overall, we're much quicker than, we were last year." If better sizeand quickness translate into more wins, the Vikings may improve on last season's 11-15 record, ayear that was about as exciting as Jackson's sandwich. The second-year coach sees the team asmore comfortable with his coaching philosophy than last year. "It takes a while for players to adjust to a new situation," Jackson said. "By the end of the year, we started to play more like I wanted." Whichmeans a play-oriented, motion â€¢ offense, much like Louisville or UCLA. "The characteristic of thisteam is excellent quickness," Jackson said. "We want to maximize it. We'll use the fast break whenit's there, but we aren't UNLV. It will be a more controlled break." UNLV. the University of Nevada-LasVegas, is known for its fast-break offense. "On defense, we'll go primarily FRONT FILE PHOTO JuniorTim Dickerson maneuvers past a St. Martin player last season. with a switching, sagging man-to- manand press much of the time." Perhaps the key to Jackson's hopes is the addition of James Johnson, atransfer forward from Little Rock, Ark. "Purely from a physical standpoint, he's so gifted, he's easily ourbest player." Jackson said of the 6-foot-6 leaper. "James is a worker. He has tremendous desire toimprove. And he can be as good as he wants to be." Jackson sees few flaws in Johnson's game. "Hedoesn't have much experience at this level of competition," Jackson said. "He has to learn, somefundamentals, some subtleties of the game. He needs to learn that he doesn't have to do it all himself.Senior center Shane Nickel returns from a 1985-86 season that saw him lead the team in rebounding(8.1 a game), while shooting 59 percent from the floor. In the season finale against Lewis and Clark, hescored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. "Shane is a hard-worker, a quality individual," Jackson saidof the 6-foot-7, 215-pound, three-year starter. "He's as close to an enforcer we have. Shane's real intense and a rugged rebounder." ' Jhe remaining starting spot on the front line is a question mark. SteveFeenstra, a 6-foot-6 forward who starred at Lynden High School, suffered a knee injury and probablywill miss the entire year. Dale Harris, at 6- foot-3, 195 pounds, will start beside Johnson and Nickel.He's a tough, hard-nosed kid who can put the ball in the hole," Jackson said of Harris. "He has powerand can hit the boards." The backcourt looks solid with Marcus Buren and Tim Dickerson holding downthe guard spots. Buren, at 5-foot-9, shows great quickness and an ability to penetrate inside andscore, or dish off to the open man. Dickerson became a starter midway through last year andimpressed Jackson with his maturity. An intriguing addition to the backcourt will be Manny Kim-mie, a6-foot-3 swingman who, Jackson said, "is as good an athlete as we've had here at Western.

Located atthe Bellingham International Airport He plays bigger than he actually is, so he'll play some smallforward for us as well. He has the potential to be one of the best guards I've ever coached. "We'll have as good a back-court as there is in the district, game in and game out." One reserve who will see much playing time is Scott Fincher, a 6-foot-1, sharpshooting guard who lost nearly 20 pounds during the off-season. "Scott has really made a commitment to this team," Jackson said. "He's gained somequickness since last season and has always been a great outside shooter." Also coming off thebench will be Garth Stroyan, a 6-foot-6 backup to Nickel. "Garth is much stronger and more confidentthis year." Jackson said. Scott Evans, a 6-foot-4 forward, "will make a real contribution. He canreally shoot the ball." Jackson said. Todd Smith, a 6-foot-2 freshman, also has proven he can shootplacing Nth on the all-time scoring list in the Greater Spokane League. Also slated to see action areMike Eisner and Mark Smith. One highlight on the Viking schedule is the inclusion of trips to Stanford(yes. that Stanford) and the University of Southern California (yes. that University of Southern California).Jackson sees both games as positive to Western basketball. "The goal of any coach is to improve thequality of the program. You do that by recruiting better athletes. A schedule like ours is going to beattractive to a lot of potential players. Ft creates interest. "It also can be an educational experience forour players through travel, and it tests ourselves against the best players around." The major changein the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics this year is the three-point line. Every shotmade from a line 19 feet, nine inches away from the basket will count three points. It will probably openup the middle, which could help us." Jackson said. "We're not super-physical underneath. Certainly allour guards can hit the shot." Western's opening contest is Thursday in Vancouver. B.C., against theUniversity of British Columbia. The Vikings' home opener is at 7:30 p.m., Saturday against TrinityWestern University. DOES T H I S MAN HAVE BETTE DAVIS EYES? YES!

XXIX—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 23, 1930 Tri-Normal Meet Tomorrow -*• Normalite TEACHER'S TASK BERTRAND RUSSELL CYNICAL YOUTH TRUTH —ARDEN BENTHIEN We are sorry to tell you that the illness of Bob Walters, the regular writer of this column,' makes it impossible for him to write it this week. We wish him a speedy recovery. For now, we have had the honor to be selected in his place. Consider yourselves introduced. W. S. N. S. Now that graduation time is approaching, we cannot help considering the serious nature of the profession of teaching. It is hard for us to conceive the fact that each of these boys and girls with whom we Tiave associated for the past nine months will soon have entirely in his hands the gigantic responsibility of guiding the education of from twenty to thirty young lives, For it is a gigantic responsibility. It would be gigantic if there were but a single life involved. When you consider, as we did, the potentialities that may lie in the mind of a child, and realize the extreme delicacy with which they must necessarily be directd if the child is to be a true man, or a true woman, we think that you will be struck, as we were, with the enormity of t h e task which a teacher undertakes. W. S. N. S. We have been reading- an article in a recent magazine on "Why is Modern Youth Cynical?" by Ber-trand Russell. His main discussion is grouped under five heads: Religion, Country, Progress, Beauty, and Truth. Do you notice that these five things are probably the ones most worth living for? Any one discrediting the value of any one of them is certainly worthy of the brand of cynic. Because we think they are worth while, we are going to pass on in brief Bertrand Russell's reasons for the loss of the prestige of these standards in the minds of modern youth. W. S. N. S. Religion has lost its importance l o r two reasons. First, the God of -the modern has lost his definiteness. He is thought of as something -vague, as a "Life Force," or a "Power not ourselves that makes for righteousness." Second, the churches of today have built up an oppressive system of ethics that condemns many apparently harmless pleasures, and has probably been the greatest of factors in keeping youth from the churches. Russell says, "I have known earnest young men who- accepted wholeheartedly the teachings of Christ; they found themselves in opposition to official Christianity." W. S. N. S. Love of country, or patriotism, is almost a lost ideal. The fact that the power of nationalism is so frequently misused in a free nation has made it apparent to youthful intelligence that patriotism is the 'chief curse of the age." W. S. N.-S. Our ideals of progress have too much of the character of Babbitt about them. Only measurable progress is recognized today, and it is Russell's belief (and ours) that the really important things are not measurable at all. Hence modern youth, vaguely sensing an insincerity in the basis nature of the present conception of "Progress," thinks but little of it as an ideal. -W. S. N. S. The word "Beauty" has lost its significance. There is somehow an old-fashioned touch to the very thought of beauty as an ideal. As Russell says, "A modern artist would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty." He seems to rather seek to startle. W. S. N. S. Truth, instead of being an ideal in present days, is something to be torn down. All sorts of enemies are at constant war with it: pragmatism, behaviorism, psychologism, relativity, physics. It is virtually impossible for an educated person to worship truth, knowing that there is no one truth that is better than another truth. W. S. N. S. We saw a group of little third or fourth grade training school children playing out on the mound, or the heap, or the hillock, or whatever you call it. Somehow they looked better there than they do swinging in iron swings. Drama Club Play Pleases Audience DRAMA CLUB PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED BY LARGE AUDIENCE First Showing of Phillip Barry's "The Youngest" Is Well Received by Appreciative Students. Last night a large and appreciate audience witnessed the first performance of the Drama Club's presentation of "The Youngest" an exceptionally entertaining comedy by Philip Barry. It is certain that if any among the audience were at odds with life and disgusted with conditions in general when they at-tered the auditorium, they left with a lightheartedness and spirit of "All's right with the world." The excellent cast and artistic planning of every scene put the play over in a notable manner. Victor H. Hoppe directed the production and is to be praised for his ability in the techincal direction as well as in training the cast to live and become one with their parts. His assistant was Virginia Howell, who did efficient work as business manager and acted the role of maid in the play. If you -know the trials and tribulations of being the youngest child in a family you are duly qualified to suffer with Tom Durham. Mr. Durham elicited sympathy and provided much amusement, as Richard Wins-low. He was a boy with ambitions, standing alone and being stormed at on every side by a practical family. His. boyish disgust, sincerity, and bravado were delightful. Charming is the one word fitting Lou Griffin in the feminine lead as Nancy. Her cleverness in handling the whole family make you doubt her sincerity, but she showed up "true blue" at (Continued on Page Four) o LEAGUE HAS SECOND MEETING OF QUARTER Install Jennie Berg, New President, by Retiring President, Jean Phil-ippi; Musical Program Enjoyed. The Womens League held their second assembly of the quarter last Fi'iday May 16. A discussion led by President Jean Philippi, was held concerning plans which would enable the League to raise more money for the activity program, and the advisability of assigning Big Sister for Freshmen girls next fall, was considered. Following these discussions a program was presented under the direction of Gladys Smith. Jennie Berg, newly elected president, announced the numbers. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, followed by a violin solo by Ethel Boynton, accompanied by Muriel Myhre. Evelyn Montgomery sang two songs, and was accompanied by Dorothy Montgomery at the piano. Piano Students to Appear Assembly Jean Philippi and Suzanne Ciss-na, students of Edith R. Strange, of the department of Music, will be presented in a musical recital by Miss Strange in the regular assembly next Tuesday, May 27. They will be assisted by Mary Miller, Irene Wilson, Muriel Myhre, Betty Bellman, Kathryn Berkeley, and Clara Vander Griend. This program promises to be exceptionally interesting in view of the fact that almost all of the young musicians are students of the Normal school, except Suzanne Ciss-na, who is a student in the training school. Miss Philippi has appeared before audiences here several times and always has been enthusiastically received. As the student body sems to appreciate programs presented by some of their own members, this is certain to prove stimulating. A varied and well-balanced program has been arranged which will include solos and two piano ensemble numbers. Have Important Roles In "The Youngest" LOU DU BOIS TOM DURHAM EDENS HALL GIRLS TO GIVE INFORMAL TOMORROW EVENING Dancing Will Start at 8:30, With the Five Bumble B's Playing; Lou Mohring General Chairman. Julius Raplee, who is a missionary in Venezuela, South America, at the Osanako mission, and who is now home on a furlough, gave a very interesting and instructive talk to-the Y. W. C. A. recently on the conditions in South America. He was very well received. A spring dance is to be given in the blue room of Edens Hall tomorrow night by the girls of the dormitory, in place of the customary informal. It was decided to make the affair as simple as possible on account of the lateness of the date. A spring decoration motif is to be carried out with flowers and greenery and music will be furnished by the Five Bumble B's. I t was decided not to invite patrons and patronesses, although Mrs. Alice Houston, Miss Fern Johnson, and Miss Adele M. Jones will attend the affair. "The girls have planned a very attractive dance", Lucille Mohring chairman of the social committee declared, "and have arranged for unusually clever programs. Mary Miller is chairman of the decoration committee. Jane Polachek is taking ctre of the programs and Betty Pederson is heading the clean-up committee." Will Award Cup to Tennis Victors No regular meeting of the Board of Control was held this week, although a special meeting was held Friday of last week to determine whether a cup would be given for the winner of the Tri-Normal tennis tournament tomorrow. It was decided that the Co-Op would donate a cup for the meet, which will become the permanent property of the winning team. It was also suggested that our Athletic department get in touch with those of the other two schools and arrange for a more elaborate cup to be given next year. The board will advise that the Trf- Normal cup become the permanent property of one school only after a series of winning meets. o WILL HOLD BANQUET On Friday, May 23, the Alkisiah Club will hold its Spring Quarter Banquet in the Montague-McHugh tearooms. o Poor Health Forces Associate Editor to Discontinue Studies Bob Walters, associate editor of the Viking, was the second Normal student to find it necessary to leave school this week on account of illness. Mr. Walters had been suffering for several weeks with attacks of the grip and flu, and upon an examination Wednesday it was learned that he has sinus trouble. He will remain under the care of Dr. E. F. Larkin for several days before returning to his home in Astoria, Oi'egon. During the absence of Mr. Walters, "Normalite", popular feature column of the Viking, will be handled by Arden Benthien. MR. BOND GIVES ADDRESSES E. A. Bond, of the Mathemathics department delivered the Commencement Day address at Maple Falls last Friday evening and at Puyallup on Monday. There were 125 graduates from Puyallup High this year, Mr. Bond said. o IVERSON ELECTED AS MEN'S CLUB PREXY Ingwald Iverson- was elected to the presidency of the Mens club at the meeting held last Friday, and Allen Ross was elected to the vice presidency, while Eddie Dyff was selected as secretary-treasurer, and Earl Hutchins was named to represent the organization in the Inter- Club council. A new amendment to the constitution was adopted, making the term of officer three quarters, rather than one quarter, as has been done in the past. Following the business meeting, Herbert Ruckmick gave an interesting talk on Photography, and explained the rapidly expanding importance of that interesting avocation. o SENIORS TO PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH BUREAU APPOINTS MANY TO POSITIONS DURING BUSY WEEK Work Increases for Appointment Bureau as Time for Graduation Draws Nearer; Many ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w w? lt; Wm$^m8@m WA^NCH^NS^^ Formerly The Wee*iy Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ^ by the Associated € Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by Virtue of the act of March 3, 1879. . , Printed by the Miller _ Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren BAYING THE MOON. Luring the present quarter, which will soon be the past quarter, many reform, have been agitated by students, though few with any effect. Nor has this quarter been an exceptional one. The fact of the matter is that students are constantly suggesting reforms, but seldom with any air ot conviction. We believe that the reason for this is that students have done much revolting over alleged injustices that they have gotten so calloused that they can't convince themselves any longer. We believe that the great-est drawback to student reforms is that we students yell too much and too We are agitated over everything. If the soup is cold some noon, we bellow about it. If the spinach displeases us, we point our faces to the sky and bawl. In fact, whenever we become displeased, we throw our B y lungs into action, and the whole pack of us go into full cry. Which would be all right if we used some discretion about it. But Ae truth is, we shout so loudly and so long that the faculty (who hold the whip hand in any dispute), become accustomed to it, and rather than lend us the serious ear, treat us with about the same respect that they would show me midnight tomcat on the back fence. We are either thrown out, or we are yelled down. And, consequently, a lot of mighty !'|p^"i«fbnns which would, perhaps, contribute to the efficiency of the school, go by the board. o MEN'S CLUB ' . \ .

MR. B.: I agree with Mr. A., but let us do so formally. I move that we take a standing vote to dispense with the formalities. H MR* C : I move that we merely raise our right hands. MR. X.: I second the motion. PRESIDENT:.. I beg your pardon, but which motion did you second? The second one, sir. I seconded the first motion, sir; but my voice was Well, here y'are, studes. We've been doing nothing but finding fault for some time now. Satire is nice, all right, but gee, it's tiresome to always be bitter about something. .* * * There's one thing yet that bothers us, though. We don't know what the idea is of having all these darned radiator pipes exposed. We are, at present, nursing a swell (ed) big blister on bur left elbow, a most inconvenient place. All we did was reach down after a pencil on the floor, but we let said elbow sway carelessly around as we reached, and sowie!—we got burned! Now, why should that be? * * * Also, we have observed that these blamed pipes are hot as—, well, very hot, even on the balmiest of spring days. Probably we'd better not pass any criticism on that fact, though. We may get ourselves involved in the dark and mysterious science of heating and show off our ignorance of said science. There may be a certain necessary amount of fuel to be consumed each day, or something. We really don't know. # * * Ahem! The "Sage Cynic" came forth in a student opinion last week to take exception to the term "male alarm clock", used in a recent Viking feature. We can't imagine who of the Viking staff could be guilty of such terrible indiscretion... But anyway, gracious us, gracious us, this ignorance is pitiful.. Almost everybody knows that alarm clocks are made in two sexes. Gee whiz, we learned thta when we were a mere child! And anyone writing of alarm clocks should distinguish, you know, so as to make his meaning clear. MR.X.: MR.Z.: not heard MR. X.: I beg your pardon, Mr. Z., but according to parliamentary procedure—and so on, ad infinitum. EXTEMPO CONTEST Glancing over the list of winners of the Fall and Winter elimination contests for the year's best extemporaneous speaker, Quick, Langworthy, Fitzwater, and Gerold, it appears that the final contest speeches on June 3 should be the best that Normal students have heard since the contests were started. Rumors have it that a number of other veterans will be eliminating each other in the preliminary, and this will doubtless put two more speakers of tried ability into the finals. But what with the competition this,year, the winner of the Extempo Cup will have something to write home about. This name, "Sage Cynic", though, has caused us considerable wonder. When we referred to the dictionary, we found that "Sage", means "wise; discerning;., well-judged;., discriminating; characterized by wisdom grave". Well, that left us still wondering. How could anyone be wise and discerning when he didn't even know that there were such things as male alarm clocks? Humph, say we! * ff * And this word "Cynic" bothered us, too. It means "a morose, surly or sarcastic person; or one of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers". Now that's not very blinking consistent. We ask you, could anyone "characterized by wisdom" be "morose" or "surly"? We think not. And as to the latter part of the definition, we could see how a person could be "Greek", all right, but "ancient"?.. —M—m—m—m— we think not, anyway. Names like that are just too deep for us, we guess. * * 0 Just to change the subject, we'll quote something a fellow named Coleman Cox, once said: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem, to have". Figure it out for yourself. * * • gt; GREAT SIMPLE FACTS 1. Though our relatives are wished upon us, our friends we can always pick for ourselves. 2. Though our faces are wished upon us, our noses we can always— Gracious!.. That was almost a break! Student Opinion Just a word to back up -Editor Craft's plea for an orientation course influencing the student's appreciation of music. Unless a student is naturally musical or comes from a rare school in which music has been regarded with the same importance as the necessary courses, he is going to enter Normal with a very meager knowledge of this art. It has been the lot of many of us to graduate from country schools where musical instruction occurred once a week and we were taught to carry a tune. From there to high school where we learned the definition of that high and mighty word, "opera," where interested ones sang in glee clubs, and where, if the school happened to have a fitting instructor, an orchestra was organized for a certain few who had been fortunate enough to take lessons. Now let an individual of that musical training enter Normal, plunge him into the musical artists' courses, make him listen to the gifted and trained musicians who bring us music in its highest form—will he understand and appreciate? Ten to one, No! He will sit restlessly in assembly, either read, disturb others, or look bored. But give him a working knowledge of what it is all about, instruct him while he has the chance to listen to artists, or just open the door for him a few inches. Soon you will find he has pushed it wide open and is exploring the beauty and wonders of a glorious new world inside. —W. L. o Hospital Notes Normalites Earn in Devious Ways DRAMA CLUB PLAY Those who did not see "The Youngest," last night, should date themselves up for the Drama Club Play tonight. The directors promised a good play, well acted, and it may be a long time before many of us will be able to see another. If you have been lulled to non-resistance during the past month by artificial dime-novel talkie-singie-dancies, it will amaze you how much you have been cheated out of when you see a group of human beings, under artistic direction, playing a play that was written by an artist for people who want their comedies and their tragedies to have tomething of beauty in them. Fisher Stresses Normal Loan Fund - « • »»ii Committee on Life Diplomas Receives Favorable Reports What qualities do a school board and district superintendent expect a teacher to have? The answer to this question may be found in the questionnaires re-turried to the Life Diploma Committee concerning persons who have made applications for life diplomas. These questionnaires are sent to school boards and district superintendents to find out the success that new teachers have had in | i i their first three or four years of Bleaching.- .'• fpli iTtoe ':kind of reports which the pf committee likes to receive are those which have nothing but praise for J that teacher. Some of these run as i follciws:••-This girl is an exceptionally efficient teacher". "She is a ppi thorough worker and has good co- operation with students, faculty, iSindparents". "He is a fme leader ^lindabasthe confidence of his pupils". "She is the most resourceful and original teacher in the system". "He is an exceptionally fine young man, refined, quiet manners, pleasant to work with, and willing to cooperate". "Each year she has shown improvement". "She is a fine classroom leader and a growing teacher". "She is doing splendid work and I would not hesitate to re-employ her". There are some reports on the other hand which the committee does not like to receive. These are of this type. "He was interested in his work but would not co-operate". "She was willing but not efficient", or "She has a good character but lacks general culture". The committee cannot conscientiously grant diplomas on reports of this kind so they usually recommend that the applicants teach their full five years. To date, 116 applicants have been approved and 31 turned down. At a recent assembly President C. H. Fisher, emphasized among other things, the fact that we have a Student Loan Fund. Commenting later on the fund, Miss Theresa Gunther, chairman of the Student Loan Fund committee, declared: "Any student may borrow from the Student Loan Fund on certain condtiions. Application to be made to the chairman of the Loan committee. This committee is composed of faculty members who are appointed by the president. Upon recommendation of the committee the student may be granted a loan from the fund under certain conditions. The total amount loaned to any student during his entire stay at Normal is $200.00. No loan can be made at any one time of more than fifty dollars to Freshmen or seventy-five dollars to Sophomores. The provisions are: 1. That the student must have been in attendance at the Normal school for a period not less than one quarter and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 3 ---------- $Mm? WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wwm^lWWWWW'M^M TROPHY CUP GIVEN TO WINNING TEAM In Tri-Normal Tennis Meet to be Held on Courts Here Tomorrow; Kork, Emery, and Jewell Play. /'Wwrni^w^w^Mmi^m WHO WILL WIN TOMORROW? Tomorrow will be the climax of the intensive training of the Viking •track men. Up to this time they have been working hard in dual meets and in practice to get themselves toned up for this big final event. Although the track squad has been small throughout the whole season a real conscientious attitude has been taken by t h e fellows this giving them an even break with Cheney for the Tri-Normal championship by their dogged persistence to win, as has been shown in t he past two dual meets with the College of Puget Sound and Ellensburg. Both of these schools took defeat, at the hands of the Vikings by scores of 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 and 88 to 42 respectively. These scores might indicate that either we have an exceptionally strong team or else the teams we have met were very weak. Ellensburg will undoubtedly be out of the race for the title. Cheney will probably manage to garner a few more points than Bellingham. That is, if the past times of some of the .runs of the Cheney athletes prove to be true. The best race will probably be in the two-mile run between Brink-man and Pelly. Last year Brink-man barely nosed out Pelly and this year Pelly will give Brinkman a better race because of his past defeat. At least it will probably be the most interesting race of the meet. Some other good races will be in the 440 and 880, but the mile and sprints will probably not be so , interesting. If Cheney is very strong in t he field events the meet will go to Cheney without a doubt, but if we can equal Cheney in the field events it is going to be a real question as to whom the pennant is going to go to. As far as I have been able to figure the whole situation out, no one can afford to miss the meet. The least you can do is come and root for your Alma Mater. o WEATHER SLOWS BASEBALL PRACTICES The weather has been playing havoc with the baseball team in both the schedule of games and in practices. In the past two weeks very few practices have been possible because of the dampness of the soil. Last Saturday the annual clash with the U. of W. Prosh had to be postponed because of the rain. Only one intramural game has been played in the past, two weeks. Handicapped with such conditions the coach and team should consider themselves lucky if they can get by their next game with a win. If they lose we cannot blame the team. The old Weather Man is the one to attach the blame to. o TRI-NORMAL TENNIS MATCHES Our tennis teams have shown considerable progress in the past few weks. I n t h e first matches with the U. of W. Prosh, the Prosh took practically every game, but in t he last matches the Vikings took several games and the Prosh were nearly defeated in several of the sets. If this can be taken as a basis, the netmen may come out on top of the pile with the Tri-Normal championship belt attached to them. Of course the team from Cheney and Ellensburg have to be considered, but since there has not been ,any dope available on them it is hard to say how strong they really are. All that I can say is if you really wish to see some real tennis sets be at the courts Saturday morning. o RECORDS MAY BE LOWERED Some records will probably be lowered tomorrow by over-anxious Normal athletes as they will strive to set a record for themselves. In the pole vault if everything goes all right the record will falL The present record stands at 11 feet 6 inches, and Flowers can equal this if not beat it. In the two-mile run the record will fall. The present record is 10:26, and Brinkman and Pelly have both run the distance in less time this season. , The mile record will probably fall if Pelly runs the four laps in as ** fast a time as he has been doing. The present record stands at :4:40.2. o — DO NOT FORGET THESE EVENTS There are three things that you must not forget this week-end. The Drama Club Play, "The Youngest." The Tri-Normal Tennis and Track meet; and the coming of the Viking Vodvil. Have you been practicing on your acts. Remember, try-outs are to be held on May 27 and a cup is to be offered as first prize. Who is going to win t he cup this year? The Thespians walked off with it last year. There will also be other ' big surprises this year. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, tennis stars from Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg will get under way for the annual tri-normal matches. Two singles and a doubles champion will be picked, and the school winning the majority of these matches will be given the championship trophy cup. Just how the matches ' will turn out is a problem. Although the Vikings dropped both of their matches to the Washington Prosh, they are figured a chance to cop the tourney. Little is known of the other two schools' strength. Cheney defeated Whitman College, which means something, but nothing has been heard from Ellensburg. The Viking team is yet partly undecided. Rork is slated to play the first singles and will pair up with Emory in the doubles. Jewell or Cdn-stantine will play second singles, Wednesday Jewell defeated the latter, 6-7, 3-6, 7-5, but another match is yet to be played. s Frosh Repeat The University of Washington Frosh again defeated the Vikings in six straight matches in a contest played here Friday, May 16. Every match was hard-fought, however, and the Frosh had to go a t top-speed all the way. Rork was defeated by Sletterdahl, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Constantine lost to Reike, 6-2, 6-3. Emery dropped a hardfought contest to Pierson, 6-4, 9-7, while Jewell lost an equally hard one to Talbot, 7-5, 6-2. In doubles Rork and Emery came close, but were defeated by Reike and Sletterdahl, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Talbot and Ellerby completed the defeat, winning from Jewell and Constantine, 6-4, 6-3. o ATTEMPT TO MAKE HANDBALL REGULAR SPORT SUCCESSFUL Viking Nine Have Two Games Scheduled to Be Played Next Week Some were glad and some were sad, as the last of the technique practices closed Tuesday night for Women's baseball. Despite threatening clouds and high wind that raged, the valiant women stuck to the posts assigned them to raise their standard of the number of fair balls, hits, number caught and, above all, to keep down the number of missed balls. From raw, unseasoned material, Miss Mildred Jewell and the managers have worked up some very promising stuff for a good, peppy Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshman have the odds on the Sophs with the hardest-hitting and surest-catching group of all. Sigrid Wiberg seems to have cinched the berth of pitcher for the Frosh, as no one else tried out. On t he Sophomore side the strong arm of Gay Smith would cause an even balance of power. The teams will be picked for sure, Thursday. Then some close games can be expected. When it comes time to pick the All-Star team the great question mark will be raised again, for even the coach will be hard hit to decide on the right ones. o PHiLO THESPIANS ON BIG WEEK-END TRIP VIKING CINDER MEN BURY ELLENSBURG Eleven Firsts Help Viking Boys Win a n Easy 88 to 42 Victory Over Foe, in Dual Track Meet; Blistered hands, tired and aching feet, and an earnest desire to at least get one good sock at the little rubber ball is the result of the first attempt at putting handball over as a part of the regular Spring sport's program for Women's Athletics. The turnouts showed a wealth of promising material for a hard-hitting team. Many hours have been spent in practice of serving and r e ceiving the ball. A round-robin tournament was put in play with the following women entered on the ladder: Evelyn Forest, Alena Bever, Marietta Bergeron, Thelma Hilburger, Olevene Bewely, Phyliss Gresnan. Each woman must win two games out of three in her matches. Twenty-one points constitutes a game. If a woman makes the first team 100 points are earned. Fifty points are earned for the intramurals. Miss Margeiy Horton urges support for this new sport, for only by support can the girls be spurred on to victory for t he Blue and White. o Archery Tournament Proves Interesting Sherwood Forest, transplanted to lower Sehome Hill, is the scene of the women's Robin Hood tournament of the Normal. When the challenging started, no one knew who would be the winners. It still looks doubtful, for the contestants creep up on one another every day that matches are played. The standing of the women entered to date is as follows: •Hunt, Towner, Koshi, May, Thompson, Bresnan, Pearson, Dahl. The outcome of the remaining matches to be played will decide high players of the tournament and pick the Freshman and Sophomore teams. These two classes will then shoot for the honors of the class. From these teams the all-star players are picked who will shoot for grand prize winner of the school on Field Day. o Frank Everenden will spend the week-end in Seattle on business. Fifty-three gallant Philo-Thes-pian sailors boarded the yacht Thetis at 4 o'clock last Saturday, planning to have the time of their lives on the week-end trip at Olga beach, on Orcas island. And they did! It was slow moving, going over, the trip taking about three and a half hours. Along' toward 7 o'clock people became decidedly hungry and so much fruit and several loaves of bread miraculously disappeared from the food supply. Having landed on shore with only a few sick sailors, working crews set forth to prepare lodging for the night and most of all, a meal for the starving crowd. Around 9 o'clock the whole family was eating heartily of the best meal they ever tasted. "5 Bumble Bees" Play A dance at which the '*5 Bumble The Normal Vikings had little trouble defeating the Ellensburg Wildcats in a dual track and field meet held here, Friday, May 16.

WASHINGTON EXTEMPO GUP MEANS OF INSPIRATION FOR POTENTIAL ORATORS Speech Contests Institution for Three Years; Women Monopolize Engraving Privileges. Training School Extempo loving cup! The name is heard after every contest and is the honored goal of the winner, but to how many does it appear any more than a name? The students are quite naturally and properly concerned only with the speaker, but, for once, let us reverse things and think only of the cup, its meaning; and what it may stand for in the life of a student. Proudly it stands, and engraved on its glossy sides are the names of individuals who burst, through the narrow bands of doubt and timidity, who faced the public fearlessly and gave to them thoughts original and significant. Probably t h a t public appearance awakened a latent ambition of the speaker, gave him a new and cosmopolitan view of life, while at the same itime there was a spirit of emulation created among the listeners. They awoke to the importance and value of such an activity and this led naturally to a stimulation, and from there to a higher standard in the public speaking and debate of the school. The current topics used as subjects by the speakers helped to give a new slant on problems of national interest. The cup came into the life of Normal in 1927 with the advent of the Extemporaneous Speech contests. For that year June Wetherell won the place of honor followed by Margaret Hill in 1928, and by Joy Efte-land in 1929. The cup is anticipating now, stai proudly, the individual whom it may honor for 1930. Incidentally, the names so far have been girls and our great orators have been men—perhaps our noble cup puzzles over that. — o WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS CONCERT The Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus was presented in its annual Spring concert in the assembly Tuesday, May 20. The club is under the direction of Harrison Raymond and Althea Horst Raymond played the accampaniment. Ethel Lever Hawes, soprano of Vancouver, B. C, assisted as soloist. The first part of the program consisted of numbers by the chorus and a group of solos. The remainder of the hour was given to the rendition of "The River of Stars," a cantata by Mr. Bawdin, with words by Alfred Noyes. PLAY DAY Wednesday, May 21, was Play Day in the Training School. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at 11:20 and rhythms and dances on the knoll by each grade, tumbling and mat demonstrations by the boys, with a final windup led by the pre-pri-mary were events of the morning. I n the afternoon there were games on the field: Baseball, service ball, ring tennis, relays, tags and so forth, in which every one took part. Play Day was originally intended as a joint activity participated in by the training school and students, from the country ^schools. This year, however, the outside children were unable to attend on account of epidemics. VIKING REPORTERS VISIT LOCAL PAPER Last Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, members of the News Writing classes and several other interested students went on a tour of inspection through The Herald press and composing rooms. Packed in and around Mr. Fowler's Ford sedan and Clayton Ungcr's "Chev" coupe, the thirteen members of the party let the school and sped down to the Kerald building, where they were met and escorted on their tour by Charles Sefrit, of the Herald staff. Many Interesting Features Several interesting features of the trip were the inspection of the morgue, the place in which all cuts and pictures are kept; the machine in which the mats for stereotyping were moulded; the machines which automatically receive news over the United Press and Associated Press wires, and the printing of the mailing edition of the Evening Herald. Following are the names of those students who made the trip: Harold Magelson, Florence Elliott, Clayton Unger, Wave Lampman, Myrna Thompson, Martin Jackson, Coressa Shull, E. Canfield, Charles Dewey, Mrs. Sarah Magill, Elinor Anderson, Marion Marchand, and Hugh Love-gren. o TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) prospects have been looking brighter, but certainly no dope slinger can name with fair accurracy the winning team. In 1928 Ellensburg was the winner but last year the Vikings won at Cheney by one point, the score standing: Ellensburg 20; Cheney 55; and Bellingham 56. This year Cheney has a good man in Pelley, who is an exceptional miler and two miler. He is expected to break a tri-meet record. Flowers of Bellingham also has a chance to break a record in the pole vault. So who will win is a big question. MISS RICH RETURNS Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the Training school, returned Wednesday noon from an extended trip through the East, in time for the Play Day activities. o The training school children will hold their annual "Hour of Song" at the regular nine o'clock assembly hour next Thursday, May 29. The purpose of this hour of entertainment is to show some of the different types of musical activity carried on by the children. There will be interpretative work, chorus singing, a harmonica band, and rhythm orchestra. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to attend. _ o T. N. P. Weekly Service CHENEY Two hundred and twenty-one students are applicants for diplomas from the Cheney state normal at the end of the spring quarter May 29. Dr. E. O. Holland, president of Washington State College will deliver the commencement address. The Masquer Dramatic club presented three one-act plays in the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, May 16. On Saturday, May 9 and 10, the 20th annual May festival was held in Cheney. A park program of May dances, street parade, concert, vaudeville, baseball game and a three-act play were features. Normal students took an active part. Elaborate decorations featured the junior prom which was held in the gymnasium Saturday evening. Five women were presented "W" sweaters, symbolic of athletic prowess, Friday. Points toward sweaters are won by participation in baseball, jollyball, volleyball, basketball, and hiking. The Cheney tennis team defeated the tennis squad of Whitworth college, Spokane, five matches to one, in a meet at Cheney last week. o PICNIC IN CANADA A group of Normalites, including several of the faculty people, pic-ni6ked last Sunday at Hope, B.

The committee has prepared thousands of leaflets and fact sheets forstudents to take back to their home communities for distribution during Christmas vacation, BernieWeiner, a committee member, said. The leaflets are available at the Associated Students office in theViking Union or at a meeting at 3 p.m. Thursday in L-4. "We're urging students to 'take peace home' forChristmas, because the war and killing and destruction in Vietnam will go AS drops Karp demand In aswift about-face, the AS legislature has abandoned its demand to the college a d m i n i s t r a t i o n forthe resignation of Student Activities Director Chris Karp. An-amendment easily passed last Tuesday'sstudent legislature meeting deleting all references to the long-fought demand. Student government hadcalled for Karp's resignation on the grounds that "all channels of communication had been severedbetween Karp and student leaders." Karp is one of three professional members of the Viking Unionadvisory staff. Student government officials said that they chose to drop the demand after "new channels of communication have been opened and it was felt that differences can be resolved in a new manner." The demand for Karp's resignation was only one of Fairhaven might withdraw from AS In an attempt togain more funds for instruction, Fairhaven students are investigating the possibility of withdrawing fromthe Associated Students. Insufficient funding by the state will otherwise restrict the Fairhaven programnext year. Only two faculty will be added, despite an increased enrollment of approximately 150. Littlemoney will be available for expansion of audio-visual, art or library facilities. Of the $88 per quartertuition, not more than $13 is designated for student activities and athletics. It is this $13 per quarter perFairhaven student that Fairhaven would earmark for its own use. Based on a probable enrollment ofaround 450, approximately $17,500 per year Â« would be freed. Money so obtained would be used forhiring additional faculty. This show of initiative may also favorably influence those foundations whichFairhaven is approaching for funding. The probable effect of this withdrawal from Associated Studentswould be Fairhaven exclusion from all or most AS sponsored activities and athletics. Fairhaven students would pay non-student rates for AS films, dances and concerts, as well as for games. Fairhavenparticipation in programs of the department of continuing studies and other Western departments wouldnot be affected. In a poll to determine whether Fairhaven students would favor such a move, 88 per cent of those responding supported withdrawal. three wide-ranging student government demands to thecollege administration Nov. 18. Student leaders are basically pleased with President Charles Flora'sanswers. Flora granted permission for the student representative to the Board of Trustees to attend allmeetings and also agreed that a negotiated level of student fees will be used as a funding base for theAssociated Students. The final portion of the third AS demand called for student government control over the hiring, firing and setting of salaries for the professional Viking Union advisory staff. This finaldemand is still being negotiated. on during our Christmas vacation," Jerry Field, chairman of themoratorium committee, said. The leaflets include articles by Sen. Charles Goodell (R.-N.Y.), introducing a resolution calling for the total withdrawal of American troops by the end of 1970; Walter Lippmann,calling for a negotiated U.S. withdrawal, and a Vietnam fact sheet prepared by the Republican PolicyCommittee. The moratorium committee is also urging people not to participate in the usual Christmasbuying this year. Shoppers are encouraged to buy items from peace organizations and to participate inthe Bellingham Faire Exchange, to be held this Saturday, where gifts can be exchanged. Items youwish to trade may be brought to the old bank building at 11th and Harris Streets, South Bellingham,beginning at 10 a.m. Items in need of repair should be taken to 1019 High Street. The buying boycottand Faire Exchange have three aims, according to Weiner: 1. Provide an alternative to the usualChristmas "junkie spree where we are taught by the economy that newness of a gift is to be equatedwith Christian love"; 2. Protest the Vietnam war in a visible way; and 3. Build and strengthen thecommunity of peace in Bellingham. Volunteers are needed to join the moratorium committee in goingdowntown Friday to help distribute leaflets and literature advertising the Christmas buying boycott and Faire Exchange. Those interested should meet at 10 a.m. Friday in the VU foyer. Literature andidentifying armbands will be distributed then. Other activities planned by the moratorium committee forthis month include a symbolic Christmas Eve demonstration and a mass mailing to local Bellinghamcitizens. Student J.D. board forming Procedures have been started to implement the development of anIntermediate All-Student Judiciary Board which hopefully will begin to function at the start of or soon after the start of Winter quarter. The college administration has approved establishment of the board andstudent member applications are now being accepted. Application forms are available at the Dean ofStudent office. Clearance for the procedures has been given informal approval by the collegerepresentative from the Attorney General's Office, with limitations placed on the right of this group tosuspend or expel students from college. The purview of this group would be to make certain sanctionson students and to r e c o m m e n d to the administration the suspension and expulsion of students.The Dean of Men and Dean of Women are forming the board, which will consist of eight studentmembers, at least two of which must be of the opposite sex of the other six. The jurisdiction of the board will be: all appeals and referrals from the residence hall judicial boards; violations of college r e g u l a ti o n s outside the jurisdiction of the residence hall boards, including (1) violations occurring when two ormore residences are involved, (2) violations by individuals who are not residing in college residence h a ll s , (3) violations at College-sponsored events. The board will assume the disciplinary role the Dean ofMen and Dean of Women now handle; with the Deans referring cases to the board. Dean of WomenMary Robinson lauded the board as being "a chance for students to create something." The studentscan reason and interpret the law themselves because they have a better ability to reason amongthemselves, she said. Ray Romine, dean of men, believes that in an institution of education adisciplinary system should be educational, not punitive. ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Miss Lorraine Powers retires as Western's Dean of Womenafter 28 years of faithful service. -photo by gable Powers ends Dean of Women post Dean of WomenLorraine Powers leaves her post at the end of this quarter, after 28 years of service to Western.

Dr. NellThompson, ad hoc committee chairman, explained that the original committee charge had been todevelop criteria for the elementary minor, but was now unanimous in the need for a major. "In terms ofthe legitimate aspects of our proposal, the state is between standards at this time so it would be a goodtime to attempt some innovations," Dr. Thompson said. She also pointed out that in a telephone surveyof teaching graduates of Eastern, Central and the University of Washington, Western had the highestnumber of graduates who were not hired. This is a result of not having an adequate background in thearea they will work in, it was believed. The committee urged formation of a "stop-gap type of program,"to be listed in the 1970-71 catalog, and the formation of an ad hoc committee to develop the elementary major. Two years ago a similar committee had advised them to stop what they were doing in theelementary major in existence then, and that the present proposals might be "getting us right back intothe position we were in previously by trying to institute this by September, 1970," Dr. R.D. Brown said.In voting to endorse the committee proposals, accepting the 1970-71 target date in principle, the Council referred the report to the education department for specific program proposals on elementary education. Abortion to be BOQ topic The Terrible Choice: The Abortion Dilemma was chosen Book of the Quarter(BOQ) for Winter, William H. O. Scott, BOQ Committee chairman, said last week. The book is a reportof an international conference on abortion, Scott said. The selection was made after Scott polled thecommittee members, the chairman said. "We had been waiting for the arrival of a book which still hasn't come," Scott said. Rather than select a book without first reviewing it, Scott decided to ask thecommittee's approval of a book on another topic. Militarism might be the topic for a future BOQselection, he said. "The book we have on militarism is good but the one we are waiting for might bebetter," he said. At press time, the committee had not outlined a program schedule for the BOQ. * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * IT'S CHRISTMAS HUBERT'S * featuring nationally known * brands of cosmetics andtoiletries * * for men and women AUBERT I { DRUG CO PRESCRIPTION SPECIALISTS BellinghamNational Bank Building M Mi. 734434^ Cornwall and Holly gt; * * * * * * * * * * * * * * â€¢ * * * * * * * * * ** * ' .

Rob Thon received 295 votes, failing to win a seat. Votes were counted Friday but due to a recount, results were not released until yesterday. ASlegislature requests journalism major here The AS legislature has asked President Charles Flora toestablish more journalism courses and a journalism major here. The legislature pointed out that agrowing number of college publications, significant interest in journalism as a major course of study anda lack of opportunities for advancement in writing fields were underlying reasons for its request. Theresolution, which passed unanimously last Tuesday, was proposed by Legislators Wally Sigmar andDale Gruver. CHARLES WASHINGTON Black Students Union Are you part of the problem or thesolution? Are you one of the multi-millions of people in the world (America?) that are indifferent towardthe massive killing, foul play and violations of life in civilization"! Have you ever considered that yourcomfort and luxury of life depends upon another's misery, toil and deprivation?? Why do you supposethere are such things as slums, ghettos or poverty? Do you condone another human body being burnedor in any other way redeemed for the comfort of your futile lives or materialism? \s life a merecommodity to be regulated by the powers that be of man's technology? Is there a fact? American life istragically devastating. This society is our starting and stepping stone for the combatting of imperialism,fascism and world-wide political oppression. The norm and values of this demented America are hell-bent in its dogma. The life-style of America is exhausted and ill-conceived. America was founded upon ahe, that "White lie," and lies have been the predication of every institutional enterprise in this country'sentity (starting with middle class values . . . which are predominantly White when it comes to attainingthem). Middle class and upper class aspirants are basically to be held responsible for the maintaining of apartheid, imperialistic, and materialistic systems. Here in America, the home of the racist imperialistand dog eaters, we have a major amount of the world power and suppression established in our midst.Persons interested in working on the Western Front as Head photographer for next quarter shouldcontact the Western Front office in the basement of the Viking Union.

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday -Saturday It is of dire urgency for contented, racist, apathetic White and Black people to realize that thepowers that be are dependent upon a scapegoat. A whole lot of 'em! Right now, the White powerstructure is wielding power right and left and the little White child gets more crumbs off the floor thannon-Whites. The Black man in America is the effigy, but what happens when he is exhausted? This c ar n i v o r o u s country is politically, economically and socially dependent upon a sacrifice, a human'sflesh and blood is the sustenance of its foul entity. One must realize with speed of fear that he is notfree. America is not to continue in its present course. A major problem that faces American peopletoday is race. Racism in this country is merely a tool to keep the masses of ethnic backgrounds fromfocusing in on the real problemâ€”the initial sin of man dominating man. The powers that be are awarethat someone has to be slightly favoredâ€”slightly, a difference in the approach of domination butessentially the end is achieved. The White man must realize his poverty of the mind is a far worse thingthan being materially without. The Black man is being maimed and murdered here in America becausehe is not free and he aspires to be without the burden of the White man. In countries abroad, the Blackman is bearing guns to annihilate any intruder upon his sacred ground of suppression. As was saidearlier, the Black man is not free here in American society. His every move is calculated beforehand bya White hand. It is at a very crucial point . . . if the Black man can relieve himself of racial conflictions or suppress them and be willing to call on the aid of the child of the oppressor-the White child-to come tohelp him destroy his White father. As I said, it is at a very crucial point. Aardvark loves bookworms ^Island in the Sound, a non- .-fiction book that explores Puget Sound's island life, is now in a Ballantinepaperback for $1.25.

Some students can rejoice and plan for an un-draft-inhibited future.Some must resign themselves to eventual induction in the army. The fairness of the lottery isdebatable. It is true that it was up to chance; those who drew low numbers will be inducted, those with relatively high numbers will probably escape the service. This is fair as far as the chance principlegoes but one factor which isn't fair is the ll-S college deferment. This deferment apparently will continue in effect, making it possible for the low number people to postpone their military tour. While this is arelief to those on this campus with low numbers, it still must be realized that this deferment isdiscriminatory: it allows those with enough money to go to college and avoid the draft; those withoutsufficient funds are inducted. To be really fair, the Selective Service would abolish all draft deferments forother than health or hardship reasons beginning with next year. We suppose this idea is anathema tothose of us with low numbers, but since the debate over the fairness of the draft has resulted in this half-way lottery change, it is obvious that if the government wanted to be really fair they would abolish student deferments as well. When one reached 19 he would sweat out the draft for a year, then forget it. Hewould not be drafted after that except in case of a national emergency. This seems as fair as the ideathat once was circulated suggesting that all young men be inducted at 18 or 19, even if disabled in some way. Everyone would serve in some way, be it a desk job or front-line action. It would be nice if theSupreme Court would find involuntary servitude unconstitutional in the near future, but alas, dreaming won't do any good. An all volunteer army would be nice, and may be instituted once the Vietnam warends. If indeed it does. Until then the law of chance will determine who will live and who will die, who willlose a limb and who will not. â€”Mike Gowrylow An ode to the other silent majority The only stars tohang in black skies over Vietnam this Christmas will be parachute flares dropped out of aircraftsearching for more humanity to destroy. The only bright green and red lights will flash in the cockpit ofa gunship helicopter, signaling the pilot that his death-dealing rockets are ready to fire. The only cheerysmiles will be pasted on the faces of Red Cross workers selling cigarettes in a field hospital crammedwith wounded. The only sleigh rides will be in the back of an armored personnel carrier winding its waythrough bomb craters on another search and destroy mission. Once again Christmas crosses the pathof war. Perhaps for a millisecond in history men will lay down their weapons to observe a paper peace, only to pick up their rifles and bombs and take up where they left off. Someday, maybe, men of different colors, religions, tongues and ideologies will crawl out of the muddy trenches of misunderstandingand discover that it's less bloody to give peace a chance.

V . ^ V . 0 , W gt; ' ^ o o , ' v . ^ . *JI It's happening SST- a rational need? JOHN MILES contributor The SST developmentproject raises far-reaching and critical value issues. Anthony Wayne Smith of the National ParksAssociation brilliantly summarizes these issues in a recent issue of National Parks Magazine. This SSTproblem is of such importance that we should consider his comments at some length. "Measured against any rational scale of human values, the SST is not desirable, but highly objectionable. "The basic valuejudgments, the telic presuppositions, on which the SST project is based, like too many moral postulatesof the industrial society, East and West, are false, and may lead to catastrophic results. "Moving forwardwith SST presupposes speed as a value. "The true values in transportation would be comfort, safety,convenience, and the leisurely enjoyment of the journey. "Air travel at moderate speeds and altitudes, with the magnificient views of the world it affords, can be an inspiring experience; high-speed, high-altitudeflights eradicate this experience. "SST presupposed proximity as a value; Tokyo, Buenos Aires, andLondon are to be brought as close as possible to New York. "Judging by the weekend exodus, mostAmericans think their big cities are hell from which to escape. "We doubt that many Japanese andArgentinians are anxious to hurry into Manhattan. "Most non-human animals have better sense thanpresent-day humans; the birds space themselves out; distance, not proximity, will be a guiding value inbuilding the hoped-for world community in the generations ahead. "Noise will be an intolerableaccompaniment of SST. Sonic booms 50 miles wide will trail their destruction across continents andoceeans, shattering the peace of the city, countryside, and wilderness. "The ear of industrial man isbeing deafened physically by the surrounding noise; his organism as a whole, physical and psychic, may seem to be acquiring tolerance, but profound injury is more probable. "The values of silence and quietude must be re-established in place of noise and tolerance for noise. "The destruction of the life-environmentthat will be wrought by the SST will not be limited to sonic booms. Vast Supersonic jetports will beneeded, leveling farmland, forest, wilderness, and human habitations. "The recently proposed Floridajetport is but one horrible example. "More gravely, the SST project is based on competition as a value,whereas all the forces of history move us imperatively toward cooperation instead. "We should becollaborating internationally with other nations having air transport facilities in developing a world-widetransportation system, not competing ruthlessly in the waste of resources and the ruination of the earth."Finally, there is a basic presupposition of impotence, of national powerlessness, in our handling of thismatter. "It is said that we must join in the competition, lest others capture the leadership or bankrupt thenation by draining away foreign exchange. "But what is needed is competence, not impotence-the ability to shape historical events to humane purposes." Welj said, Mr. Smith!, . . . ,, . . , , . . . , . . . .,._._ ---------- Western Front - 1969 December 9 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, December 9, 1969 Western Front feedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedba Landlord defends withheld damage deposits Editor: I would like to reply to the three students, Vicki Gaunt,Cyndie Tipton and Pam Collins, who wrote to you complaining about the amount they were charged fordamage. I am the student landlord they were complaining about. The apartment was furnished and allthe utilities were paid for $125.00 a month. All four bedrooms were also furnished and the rent was thesame for either three or four girls. They chose to have three, otherwise the rent would have been $31.25a month each. Does this sound like the over-crowded and high-priced rentals for students? Theircomplaint, however, was the amount they were charged for the damage they admitted causing. Firstthey said they were charged $15.00 for one panel of a curtain which they had set on fire. The living room contains three windows, thus six panels, and anyone with even an elementary knowledge of sewingknows that you cannot purchase the same material a year later, therefore all six panels had to bereplaced. Also, someone has to make and hang these curtains and labor does have a value. Next wehave the cigarette burns. The worst burn did cover approximately one square foot of the rug. What dothey suggestâ€”that I cut it out and leave a hole in the rug? Furthermore, one of the burns in the tabletop was nearly 3/4 of an inch deep and about two inches in diameter. That does not sound like a minorcigarette burn, does it? The burn in the couch arm can only be repaired by removing a portion of material from the back of the couch and re weaving it into the burned hole. This service is not done free!Perhaps the rug with its seven burns could be bought at the Goodwill for $15.00. I believe that Goodwillfurniture is inadequate for student housing. Students who suggest that this type of furniture is sufficientcertainly cannot expect an improvement in the deplorable sub-standard housing that exists in the area.They go on to say that I am a struggling student who owns my own home and car. What my personalstruggles are and what personal property I have is completely irrelevant as to whether they should payfor damage they admitted having done. They also said, "How could he sympathize with usâ€”he doesn't know poverty." I think most students will agree that another problem in the housing crisis is theshortage of housing. These girls decided that they did not want a fourth girl and left the fourth bedroomvacant. Anyone who is willing to pay the extra amount of rent rather than have another roommate iscertainly not a poverty case! In twelve weeks they caused eleven significant burns; in my opinion this iscarelessness. Their letter and this letter is sound evidence of the careless and irresponsible actions of a few of Western's students. Clearly there is a housing crisis. The sub-standard housing must beimproved and the over-charging of rent has to be stopped. Illegitimate complaints will only lead to afurther separation of landlord and tenant. Honest and responsible action on the part of students as wellas landlords is necessary if the current housing crisis is to be improved. Gary McDonald Suggestsreasons for no cigarette ban Editor: I find it ironic that the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has banned cyclamatesâ€”I note that part of the ban was lifted recentlyâ€”because some have beenshown to cause cancer in rats, yet has not banned cigarettes. As we have been informed by the samedepartment, cigarettes are, of course, a definite and dangerous threat to health and life when used over a long period. Ho-hum. So are automobiles. There are several reasons why there is no ban. First, thetobacco industry is controlled by a handful of powerful men who would put up nearly as big a fuss at any attempt to shut down their plants as Ford and friends would should a nationwide ban on internal-combustion engines ever be called for (and that time may be closer than we think). Besides, if thetobacco men could not sell tobacco, our benevolent government would undoubtedly subsidize them fortheir loss. Second, the Southern Congressmen would no more allow such a ban than they would allow a ban on the use of cotton! Third, and I think the strongest reason, is that the public requires more thanjust a report from the Surgeon General to get up tight. Even though a heavy smoker realizes the danger, the realization is at a "head" level and not a gut level. If he found that he himself had emphysema, or ifsomeone close to him died from lung cancer or had to have his larynx removed, the guy would have agut level of realization. But, unfortunately, perhaps he could not quit even with a strong desire to do soafter years of the habit. Even if there was a ban, think of the black market that would develop. It wouldmake the prohibition era seem like nothing. No, I doubt if there ever will be a ban on the use of tobacco, and I doubt even more if such a ban would work. This brings up the question, does our government havethe right to legislate against slow suicide? But, smokers, don't say you haven't been warned.

The item of prime importance for almost all mymale (and many female) friends today is what numbers everyone has in the pool. I want to state that Ihave no concern for my number, or anyone else's. We now accept a new method of determining whowill be forced into the illegal, brutal, degrading and immoral military of the United States. As long asanyone is being forced to plan or execute the death of human beings as an integral part of the worldpolicy of this country, I cannot be proud to be a part of it. I consider the fact that some men can nowplan their lives without fear of having to take part in the institutionalized war our nation lives, to befortunate. But until no man is conscripted and force is rejected as a means of solving world problems, Icannot be happy about such minor reforms as a draft lottery. It makes no difference to me whether Irefuse to kill as number one or number one thousand in the lottery. As long as this type of oppressionexists in any form I will oppose it.

In a letter to the College, the A. S. WickConstruction Co. gave assurances that barring unforeseen circumstances, four dorms would be turnedover to Fairhaven by Dec. 31. Delays could be caused by poor weather, slow delivery by suppliers orlabor problems. The addition of these four to the four dorms already occupied will enable all Fairhavenstudents to move on campus and out of the Hidden Valley trailers. One dorm will also be available forhousing Western students. According to Dick Norris, assistant dean for student affairs, room changeswill be made to remove overcrowded conditions in the occupied dorms. An attempt will be made to b a la n c e t h e dorms co-educationally and by classes. Any students who are to be moved from theirpresent room will be notified before the end. of this quarter, Norris said.

The ASlegislature last week resolved to cut all homecoming expenditures from future student budgets. Theresolution followed a steady decline in student interest for homecoming events, according to studentleaders. Legislator Wally Sigmar explained that college students are more interested in activities whichare relevant to their education. "Homecoming is dead and we are beginning a new college era," Sigmarsaid. Legislator Gary Evans told the student legislature that he took a personal poll of students a n dfound that an "overwhelming majority" were outright against homecoming. The resolution said that funds previously earmarked for homecoming could be better used in other areas of direct student interest andconcern. Two legislators, Mimi Brooks and Gail Denton, cast the only dissenting votes on theresolution. Marxist expert to speak on revolution Dr. Herbert Aptheker, the national director for theAmerican Institute for Marxist Studies, will address the student body and general public in the MusicAuditorium at 3 p.m. tomorrow. Tabbed as the Activities Commission's featured speaker for the Fallquarter, Aptheker will lecture on "The Nature of Revolution: A Marxist View."

The guestspeaker has authored more than a dozen books on Afro-American history, Marxism and relatedsubjects. His book, Mission to Hanoi, is presently on sale at the campus bookstore. I n c l u d e damong the outstanding accomplishments of Aptheker's career are a trip to North Vietnam in 1965 andthe breaking of several speaker bans at many universities during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Healso helped the defeat in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1964 of portions of the McCarran Act, whichprohibited Communists from traveling abroad. morefeedbackmorefeedbackmo Ellis urges publication ofmerit increases Editor: As a taxpayer in this state and as a member of the academic community ofWestern, I strongly urge that you make public the names of those members of the faculty who recentlyreceived merit increases along with the criteria used in identifying the recipients. I am aware that lists of recipients are made available only to the departments of which the recipients are members. This is not, however, the same as a published list widely and easily available to the entire academic community.Not long ago Skagit Valley College published in the Bellingham Herald the list of those members of itsfaculty who had earned merit increases. Western can do no less. As a matter of fact, all salaries are amatter of public record if one wishes to go to the trouble of checking them in official material fromOlympia. The quasi-secrecy which surrounds the names of faculty chosen for merit increases can onlygive rise to charges of political log-rolling and academic nepotism. Indeed, precisely such thinking hasbeen expressed from time to time by responsible faculty on our campus. As a taxpayer I have a vestedinterest in knowing how these monies have been spent and under what criteria the expenditures weremade. It is my understanding that the Faculty Council has requested the wide publication of thesenames. I urge you to honor that request. Frederick E.

Dr. Ronald J. Taylor, associate professor of biology and chairman of the ArboretumCommittee, spoke to the group of interested students and faculty concerning the need to developSehome Hill in a way that was useful to both the city and the college. Taylor displayed an architect'sdrawing showing one proposed development which would include green houses, picnic areas, ponds,walking and bicycle paths, public rest rooms, a lookout tower and an amphitheater. He explained howthis development would serve the community as a park and also serve the college as a place to studyplant communities native to the Northwest as well as those communities which are not normally foundhere. A good example of typical natural floraâ€”hemlock, alder and firâ€”is already growing freely on thecollege-owned land on the west side of Sehome Hill. Plans call for developing other plant communitiessuch as the deciduous forests of the Midwest, Taylor explained. Garden clubs and other civil activitiesmight take on planting or helping to finance the project, he said. Pool, table tennis tourneys startCampus-wide games of pool and table tennis are being held in the VU lounge this week. "Twenty-fivedollars will be awarded to each winner of double elimination tournaments for both pool and table tennis," Bob Force, recreation chairman, said. The Brunswick Corporation has installed a new table for theevent. LIGHTING LAMPS across Railroad Avenue from the Leopold Motor Inn "We will place anemphasis on the ecological approach to development," Taylor said. The biggest problem facing thecommittee is getting the "city fathers" interested in the proposal. Herb Olson of the city park boardsenses that the college wants to make a "land grab," according to Taylor. Plans call for, the city tocommit Sehome Hill for the college to develop as an arboretum. Olson believes that Western shoulddevelop the land it already owns. The strip of land at the western and northern slopes of Sehome Hillwould not be easily adapted since it is so steep and much more land than that owned by the collegewould be needed. Taylor mentioned use of the LID land east of Sehome Hill in the future. There hasbeen some "chatter" about developing Sehome Hill as a ski area using artificial plastic snow, accordingto Taylor. "A minimum cost of $1 million has been estimated," Taylor said. Barney Goltz, director ofcampus planning, has said that the city would probably have to float a bond, according to Taylor. Taylorsaid he believes that money could be obtained from state and federal matching funds. The ArboretumCommittee was conceived by college president Charles Flora two years ago and has received fundsfrom the state to study the arboretum proposal. The committee meets at 4 p.m. the first and thirdTuesdays of each month in OM-C. EQC meets at 4 p.m. Wednesdays in VU-354. Tomorrow's meetingwill be to organize activities and plan speakers for Winter quarter.

Vol. XLVI — No. 10 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 The answer to an age old question has f i n a l ly been answered. It has at last been proven statistically that BLONDE hair always seems to be discovered on fathers shoulder. The fact is . . more blondes are likely to become bald than brunettes. However, brunettes are more susceptible to falling hair than redheads. The morale . . . put a redhead on your shoulder, father. * * * lt; But s t a t i s t i c s can be wrong . . . for instance . . . W e d n e s d a y evening a newspaper article s t a t ed that more meat is being c o n s u m e d n o w t h an was two months ago. For a person EXISTING in a college operated dormitory the only answer to such a statement is, "Brother, you can't eat statistics." * * * A WISE MAN traveling in the HOLY LAND these days would be wise to keep his eyes on the heavens . . with a prayer on his lips. * $ « . . . but, a Wise man in B e l l i n g h a m tomorrow would be issuing words of wisdom if he urged every person he met to VOTE "YES" FOR THE SPECIAL SCHOOL LEVY TOMOR-. ROW. * P * To Victor H. Hoppe, Mrs. Marion Ingersoll, and individual members of "The Skin of Our Teeth" we toss our appreciation bouquet of the week. We enjoyed your production and hope that the acclamation accorded your performance by the audience in some s m a ll manner repaid you for your long weeks of rehearsals. * * * REMEMBER . . . it's the AWS tolo tonight for a real treat . . . o n the gals that is. REMEMBER . . . it's George Hankins' band in the Crystal ballroom, of t h e H o t e l Leopold TONIGHT! * * « Many people have advanced the info that instead of h a v i n g Moblo's pep band fill in for unscheduled Artist and Lecture Series why not have the Artist and L e c t u re Series fill in when Moblo's popular aggregation is unavailable.

Anniversary Committee Voted Funds For Film Production By GEORGE DOWD In its meeting held Wednesday, December 3, the Board of Control voted unanimously to place the sum of $500 at the disposal of the general committee of the 50th Anniversary celebration headed by Miss Nora B. Cummins, faculty member. Also passed was the resolution stating that the A.S.B. officially endorsed the ten-minute technicolor movie which has been proposed to augment public rela- Seal Sale Gets Under Way Emphasizing the" fact that the battle against tuberculosis is a public affair, and the only way the public is asked to support it is by the purchase of Christmas seals, Clyde W. McDonald, chairman of the seal sales drive, announced that full scale vending procedures are now in operation. Envelopes containing 200 seals have been dropped in the mail already and checks have already begun to trickle into the Whatcom County Tuberculosis association in the Mason building. Persons wishing more seals, or who do not receive them by mail will be able to buy them at a downtown booth soon, McDonald reported.

A motion calling for the formation of a committee which will control all of the student body's recreational areas (Sinclair Island, Kul-shan Cabin and Lakewood) was approved. This committee will be empowered to take any steps which it deems necessary in regards to the maintenance a n d supervision of these areas. New Finance System Finding that the preparation of a monthly balance sheet of student funds will cost in the neighborhood of $250 annually, the board appointed the committee headed by Jim Sanford to go ahead with any recommendations regarding the institution of the new finance system it feels essential. Klipsun Investigation Learning that the Klipsun staff has a deficit of $192.30 incurred from last year's annual, the decision was made to clear the amount so the present staff will not need -to suffer the cut. However, an investigation will be made to determine, if possible, how the deficit occurred. Other business discussed included: the question of what to do with the camera which was purchased for the use of the Klipsun staff several years ago; the subject of the new pep and song leaders' emblems which was referred to the heraldry committee for its recommendations; and a repair bill of $44 from the mffiSc"department which was approved. Sociology Expedition Heads For Woolley . Interest in care for inmates of statev mental institutions on the part of sociology classes has resulted in planning two trips to the Northern State hospital at Sedro-Woolley on the two following Saturdays by approximately sixty students, a n nounced sociology instructor Donald P. Irish this week. Students, leaving at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, expect to spend about an hour touring the institution under the guidance of Superintendent P. E. Showlain. The experience will be repeated by a different, group of students on the following Saturday. Irish suggested that interested students not enrolled in sociology classes contact him if they wish to be included in either of the planned trips or if they are interested in undertaking a similar tour next quarter. Brown 6K Company Honored As %7 Klipsun Is 'First Class' First Class! That is the rating given the 1947 Klipsun*by the Columbia Scholastic Press association, sponsored by the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, New York. 925 points were scored out of a possible 1,000, in competition with liberal arts colleges of comparably enrollment throughout the nation. The National Scholastic Press, sponsored by the University of Minnesota, will announce its decisions in January. "Clark Brown, your editor, schould be congratulated," said the judge. Other comments were: Good taste throughout the book . . . the editorial staff has turned in an** excellent job of reporting and editing . . . your student photographers are to be congratulated . . . printing and typography excellent. Bigger and Better When asked about plans concerning this year's Klipsun, Betty Mc-. Leod, editor, said "The '48 Yearbook will be 32 pages longer, and we hope that it will be even better than Mt was last year." The new Klipsun will be published in May. Same Crew Listed Members of the staff of last year's Klipsun, who are working on the '48 edition are Kathleen Golly, Barbara Cozza, Betty McLeod, Nancy Merrick, Bettyjane Christie, Ruth Norman and Wayne Craig. Mt. Baker Beckons Local Snow Birds All ski enthusiasts please take notice! The first bus trip to Mount Baker is scheduled for tomorrow. The bus will leave at 7:30 a. m. if enough students have signed to make a full load. Holding its first meeting of the year, the ski club began tentative plans for the year's activities last Monday. Regular meetings will be on the first Monday of each month. Reports from Mt. Baker lodge indicate that snow conditions are. perfect for this time of year. Already this tourist mecca has attracted hundreds of sporting enthusiasts each week-end. Remember! Bus leaves at 7:30 a.m. Education Tax Levy Needs Support of Every Single Voter Voting students and residents near the college are again reminded of the special twenty mill tax levy to be voted on tomorrow. Polling for residents of the fifth ward will be at the V. P. W. hall, and for those residing in the sixth ward, the Larrabee school. Proceeds from the special levy, to be assessed in 1948, and payable in 1949, will be used to effect needed repairs on Bellingham's sixteen public schools and Battersby field. An itemized list showing how the $407,000 to be realized from the levy will be spent includes improvements in sanitation, audio-visual aid facilities, interior decorating, lighting, and playground equipment. Some of the schools, built over forty years ago, have shown need for repairs to steps, roofs and woodwork within the buildings. It • is planned to accomplish these things if the tax-levy passes. Battersby field wDl have the addition of new light clusters; fence repairs are planned; and the light poles will be moved outside the fence. Official Roster Is Published Basketball Western Style, the official basketball roster of Western Washington college, will be distributed next week to all high school and college coaches in the State of Washington. In order to gain publicity for WWC, the roster will also be mailed to newspapers and radio stations throughout the state. The booklet, containing twelve pages, will include the schedule of alL.this^year's, games,,.the schedule, and results of last year's games, a complete roster, and pictures of the coach and players/ A picture of Pinky Erickson will be featured on the cover of the roster. Because of a limited supply of the roster due to the high cost, Basketball Western Style will not be available to WWC students. Violinist Artist To Entertain "His recital was the most outstanding violinistic debut this season." These words were used by the New York ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bet)ingham, Washington Friday, December 5, 1947 oditobials . . . News Lists Point To Exciting Campus A remarkable parallel can be drawn (with imagination) between the United Press' annual list of. the ten outstanding news events of the year and the WWCollegians newly thought of list of the ten outstanding news events occuring on the campus during, fall quarter. Of course the only parallel existing is the fact of "continuing news stories/' but at least no one can deny the fact that we had "continuing news stories." •Naturally the high cost of living was number one on the U. P. hit parade. '"This was followed closely by "the cold war" and "passage of the Taft-Hartley law and subsequent litigation." In the number four position we find "the Hughes- Meyers investigation" while "Texas City, Texas., disaster" was number five. "Princess Elizabeth's romance" and the "partition of India" were followed by the "series of airplane disasters" and "Arab-Jewish controversy over Palestine." Securely holding down the tenth position was "the world series." . Now we don't contend that our little list will create any worid shaking results but we still feel that cognizance should be taken of the various department and groups that have made WWC such an active and interesting place to sleep for the past quarter. So putting our tongue in our cheek and turning our back we meekly submit the fall quarter honor list of the WWCollegian: 1.; New Era (political expedient, you know). 2. Homecoming . . . special consideration to Armstrong and Lapp. 3. Building expansion and enrollment. 4. Student convoy to PLC and 'Pep club activities. 5. Music department activities. 6. Board of Control. 7. Drama department (Skin of Our Teeth). 8. Basketball season opener (U. of W. vs. Viks). 9. War Memorial plans. 10. Student Artist and Lecture series. Annual Christmas Vespers to Be Sung by a Cappela Choir Christmas Vespers will be presented to the students of WWC December 7, at 4:00 p. m. in the rotunda of the college library. The program consists of 16 selections, and is under the direction of Bernard Regier. This program is the most beautiful and outstanding presentation of the a cappella choir and is an annual and important affair *6f the fall quarter.

Registrar's Duties By NativeSon In the contrast to preceding interviews of WWC's new personnel, Donald A. Ferris, registrar, is almost wholly a product of the Evergreen state. Born in Yakima, Ferris has received a B. A. degree in education, a Master's, and is well on his way toward a Ph. D., all from the University of Washington. Linfield College in Oregon, and Columbia University made their contributions to his formal education; but on the whole, the man who came to WWC this, fall to relieve Dr. M. S. Kuder of a part of a big load could be called a true "Native son." Ferris began his teaching career in Kent, Washington, and then moved on to Issaquah, teaching social studies. The pleasant, quiet spoken registrar next went to Mt. Vernon to teach social studies in junior high school, high school, and junior college. He was guidance director in Mt. Vernon high school, night school director, and for two years served as vice-principal of that institution. Graduates or former students ot Mt. Vernon junior college will remember Ferris as dean of that school, a position he held for four years. Discussing Western, Ferris enthusiastically declared, "The college has great possibilities for expansion. I especially* appreciate the beautiful campus and the friendly atmosphere to be found here." The Ferris family, residing at 1000 Key street, Bellingham, consists of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris and their three children.

This hall's claim to fame is Nita Clothier, who has such an important part in the play "Skin of Our Teeth" that she has to be there all three nights. Hospice Inn • Thanksgiving holidays rushed by all too quickly for the men of Hospice Inn. Everyone reports a fine time . . . Charlie and Duncan McRae, Jim Loring, and Bud Hale played host at Friday Harbor over the week-end to Park Dyer, Jack Kelly, and Jack Purdy. The fellows wanly reported "a good time" on Monday morning . ; . Ace Francis suffered an unfortunate fall in the hall of-the main building Tuesday morning. Result: a tooth through t h e lower lip. Ace is at the moment well on the way to recovery, however. Off-Campus Girls This is your off campus reporter bringing you all the last minute news on what those gorgeous gals who make up OFF CAMPUS, INC., are doing. Some of the girls were pretty lonesome this week-end because so many of the stronger (?) sex went home for Thanksgiving. Not so with one blue eyed blonde I know of. Seattle is a wonderful place if you know the right people, isn't it Ruby? . . . Say Irene, how did you get that bump on your head? Better tell that young man not to drive so fast . . . Two happy girls over the week-end were Bev Snow and Barbara Ritchie, whose men came home for Thanksgiving. Happy Day! Harborview Term papers, term papers, and more term papers! Between term papers, tests, and practicing our Christmas caroling the inmates of Harborview are suffering from an acute case of lack of sleep. Barry Stockton, president of the house will sing a solo December 7 at the Christmas Vesper service presented by Bernard Regier. Meredith Hess will also lend her talent to this affair. If curses should be heard coming from this humble home it is only because the AWS formal is on the same night as the play. This is inconvenient for the actresses as they will look rather queer appearing at the dance at 11 p. m. smeared with grease paint. Only 10 more studying days till Christmas. Hurray! Forest Inn Thanksgiving is now over and we are concentrating on our studies. At least we are trying to . . . The big news is that Patsy Clark came back with a beautiful diamond on her finger.

Not for long, 111 bet, because how can she resist our housemother's cooking? Daniels Hall The fellows came to chow last Monday night with some new holds and tricks acquired from their Thanksgiving day tussle. By the way, gals, if you just happen to have your eye on some masculine material from Daniel's, just invite him over for food. From then on (if you're a good cook) it's a cinch . . . (How "bout that Mel , you oughta know) To enlighten you on this little insert here, Mel Lindbloom done went 'n popped the question to Roma Still. Roma said YES! Congratulations, kids. Chatter Box Back to the old grind after the Thanksgiving vacation. We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Seems as if Bud Boe's was wonderful, even though it was lost. Dan Sayan went to the Ballard-Bremerton football game Turkey day. Joanne Rucker went home to Shelton and did nothing, she claims! Evidently Shelton is a popular place because Al Eaton visited the old home town too. Bev Snow's man came home from Pullman so her weekend was complete. Wick Roth just slept all weekend. Wonder what he did the weekend before? WWC was well represented at the Shell Saturday night. Couples seen there were Mariqn Hardin and Bob Call, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Partlow, Sally Park and Bob Gates, and Louis Kink and Kenny' Betner. Even if skiing conditions were poor at Mt. Baker Sunday, it was popular with students of Western. Ed McCullough, Blair Lewis, Bob Miles, Doc Walton, Norma Swan, Ruth Norman, Delores Christensen, Phyllis Armstrong, Madeline House and Stan Thompson braved the wind and rain for a day's skiing. Chuck Lutz's wrenched ankle was the only casualty from here. Many thanks for the new records on the juke box in the lounge. We really like "So Far" and "Bango, Bango' Bango" and how about the new "7-up" slot machine. It adds variety to the liquid diet. Plaids seem to be quite the thing this season. If you see a cute little boy walking down the hall in a beautiful gray and white plaid shirt that's Vern Whitney. Dolly McAr- 'thur looks very smart in her red plaid dress. Gordie Smith has a red plaid shirt that is really good looking. Saddles, loafers and Joyces are still the favorite in shoe apparel among the girls. Clogs are often heard during the rainy weather also. Looks as if the days kinda like these thick-soled shoes. Al Iraola seems to favor loafers because when he had athletes foot he could slip off his shoes and scratch his feet. Now he says other shoes are okay. Widge Black wears shoes because he's from Sequim and ^ everyone wears shoes there. That's about all for today . . . Have a good time at the dance tonight! Pauline Roser Is New ACE Prexy At the first meeting of the year, the A.C.E. members elected Pauline Roser as president. Other officers were: Jean McKelvy, vice-president; Esther Mjoen, secretary; and Mary Ann Oman, treasurer. The purpose of the Association for Childhood Education is to acquaint the students planning to become teachers with the profession as a whole and with WWC's Campus school. The meetings are to be held in the Campus school with each meeting in a different room so that all can become familiar with the building. Co-chairman for the discussion group are Katherine Niemala and ZIbona Daverin; for the membership drive are Marian Overcotter and Loren Rankin. Social chairman is Jean McKelvy and publications chairman is Jesse Winters. The next meeting will be held at the Campus school January 22. 119 ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 December 5 - Page 4 ---------- Western Wishington^Gollege of^Ec^tkw, B ^ ^ 59-32, Viks Over Seattle P.; Reserves Play Important Role In Falcon Drubbing By HAL GRONSETH Coach Bill McDonald swept the bench clean as the Blue and White rolled over the Seattle Pacific Falcons, 59 to 36, Wednesday night. After the first four minutes, the game was never in doubt. Ten minutes after the opening buzzer Western held a comfortable 18 to 6 lead. The half time score was 30 to 12. Cleans Bench During the second half the whole Vik squad got their feet wet. Some of the boys looked as if they need a little more work but on the whole the squad looked impressive. The starting five seemed like a fine ball club. Garry Starr and Stan Peterson started at forwards, "Moose" Zurline at center, and "Pinky" Erickson and Tom Green a t guards. Jack Ross is back off the injured list and will now be fighting for a starting berth. "Moose" Zurline. Tom Green Stan Peterson Tom Osswald Bob Cline "Pink" Erickson... Jack Ross Bob English ...

The gym will accommodate crowds of 2,400. The gyntnasium is a gift of the citizens of Tacoma. Cliff Olson, Pacific Lutheran athletic director, served as chairman for the fund raising campaign, and Mr. John S. Baker, Tacoma, was honorary chairman. A short dedicatory program w i l l precede Friday night's game. Dr. Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, will speak. Others who will participate include Dr. H. L. Foss, president of the Pacific Lutheran College board of trustees; Dr. S. C. Eastvold, PLC president; and Cliff Olson. ^haicltt ^Kom lite Bench . . . by peters CONGRATS . . . Number one of t he season—and what a tally, 30-12 at the half with a final marking of 59 to 36. There were substitutions galore last Wednesday night as the Viks overran the Falcons of Seattle Pacific; every man on the bench was used. Well the score is now one up and t he Hilltoppers have faced two squads of almost opposite ability. First the fast and deadly game that the Huskies played and then the rather slow moving type of ball played by the Falcons. • Next Tuesday, again, the Hilltoppers are scheduled to face Art McLarney's five on the home courts, and another fast breakaway, rip-roaring game will be fought out. The Viks ought to do much better now that they have some height and some pretty big men. * Jack Ross was laid up in the last U. of W. game with a bad leg but he should"get in the next one. Jack Graham has a bum ankle and Larry Slovak is complaining of a knee injury. That's all for this week. SPORTS ITEM OF THE WEEK . . . A water boy who had never before suited up, but with two years experience in bucket toting scored four points last Saturday as the Modesto, California, Junior college threw all available manpower into a 30-7 football triumph over Weber Junior college of Ogden, Utah. Rusty Rusti-gan went in without any shoulder pads to t ry for each conversion after the four touchdowns. He scored on all of them and also a safety. ATTf!N!«ON BASKETBALLERS . . . From Eastern Washington comesMe report that the Viking basketball squad will be fighting it but with the St. Martin's quintet in the finals. St. Martin's is predicted to be t he cellar dwellers! I don't think we can get them on a liabel charge but we can sure get them in the neck. True—Big Bill has played only two games so far, but the way his squad is shaping up he is going to have a good club this season. Of course it is still pretty, early in the season to have much faith in these early season predictions . . . well make ours later. LEAGUE LOG . . . Pacific Lutheran's new $225,000 gymnasium will be dedicated when they play the U. of W. five tonight in Tacoma. Jerry McLaughlin, a six-foot, three-inch center, will be in the key spot. He was second high collegiate scorer in the nation last season with 479 points. Wesley Saxton and Gene Lun-gaard will be t h e starters at the forward spots. The only two men on the starting lineup who a re under six feet are the two guards—Willis McLaughlin and Howard Willis. Last week Whitworth came but nine points short of doubling the score that Farragut college chalked up—38. Then we come to Eastern Washington squad who racked up more than a triple tally on the boys from Levitch—72 to 23. ROUND »N ABOUT . . . Way down in Medford, Oregon, last week, PLC came through again to score over Southern Oregon in a brisk Thanksgiving day game. And it was brisk too. There was some good hard playing with Oregon leading by two TD's at t he half. Five thousand fans were there to see the Lutes stage a powerful second half comeback to defeat the Red Raiders 27 to 21. The.victory was the seventh for the Lutes in nine games, the other two tilts ended in ties. * ACROSS THE NATION . . . Back in Philadelphia, the Cadets, led by their brilliant 172-pound fullback, Elwyn (Rip) Rowan, walked all over the Navy to bring down the curtain on their '47 season with an impressive 21-0 eyelashing. Probably the most spectacular play of the game was when the powerful back thrilled the 101,500 fans with his 92 yard touchdown play. Hoop Secrets Expounded For Matilda t By BILL BAKER Matilda went ' to see Western Washington play basketball. She doesn't remember who they piayed, in fact she doesn't remember much. This column is dedicated to people like Matilda, those who do not understand the intricacies of the cas-aba sport. The game is simple, one team pitted against another trying to sink~ as many baskets as possible in. the opposition's basket, that's all there is to it. Or is it? The first thing Matilda should know is t h a t the plays are set up by the guards as they come down the floor. Signa-s are sent to the rest of the quintet by the use of their hands and the team immediately falls into a formation. Blocking is just as essential in the maple sport as it is on the gridiron. The players are assigned men to block, as inconspicuously as possible, to pave the way for the ball carrier as he leaps to glory. But remember, Matilda, the glory doesn't all go to the lad that made the basket. A basketball player may look as though he is running up and down the floor aimlessly, but he has many tricks that will make him above average if w o r k e d e x p e r t l y. Watch for some of these details next time, Matilda, and maybe you will remember more about the game. Does Jersey Joe Stand a Chance? Another attempt will be made tonight to wrest the world's heavyweight championship from Joe Louis at Madison Square Garden. The unlucky man this time is Jersey Joe Walcott, a lighter but perhaps taster man t h an the champ. Louis is said to be in tip-top condition and weighs in at 212, the most of his entire championship career. Jersey Joe pounds the scales at 192, but is earmarked as making up for the weight in his speed in the ring. The majority agrees that the only chance Walcott has to defeat the champ is to land one lucky punch. That chance, shown by the betting odds, is about 10 to 1. It has been rumored that the champ has been slowing up a little in his old =age (33) but appears to be in first-rate condition. Jersey Joe, also 33 years old, will undoubtedly have a very difficult time rocking the supports from under Louis's 13 year championship career. It must be remembered that although one good punch would shatter this career, that one punch is going to be the hardest to connect with. Vik Lads Rate With Rangers St. Martin's Rangers came nearest to an upset win in holding Central Washington college to a 7-0 victory, but the Saints turned right around and figured that three of the' Central Wildcats were good enough to rate on their all-opponent team as announced Tuesday. . At the ends Rangers picked Walt Clayton of Western Washington and Nagel of Eastern; tackles—Charles Schroeder of Linfield and Leo Hake of Central; Don Bort of Central and Bill Currier of Linfield, guards; and Mork of Central, center. In the backfield, the Saints' all-foe choices are Bud Thrapp of Eastern, Vern Tucker of Whitworth, Jerry Karnofski of Western and Frank Spear of Pacific Lutheran.

Miss Moldrem has appeared, in many Guild plays and is prominent in college music circles. Eliza Crosses The Ice Safely In Local Guild Showing By Clarence Soukup Bringing back to the vivid imagination, the story that split the nation asunder back in the 1960's, the little Theater Guild at 120 Prospect street scores another triumph with its production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," now running currently at the Guild playhouse. Performances may yet be seen tonight and tomorrow. Beginning with Eliza's crossing the Ohio on the ice and ending with the whipping and death of Uncle Tom, the scenes were staged and pbrtrayed with such realism that the first-night audience fairly gasped. Tom's whipping by Simon Le-gree is so forceful that the spectators cringed in their seats. Alva Potter gives an excellent interpretation of the kind-hearted, God-loving old Negro. Glenmore Jones in a double role draws his share of laughs for his real-to-life character portrayals. Perhaps an unusual role was the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance staged by Ronald Lund. From the gentle, kind-hearted St. Clare, he transforms into the cruel, morbid, and tyrannical Simon Legree. Beulah Padavon also draws praise for her role of Topsy. Others in the show giving able performances were Victor Dickinson, Glessner Burchette, Melvin Erickson, Bill Biggerstaff, Maurice Nelson, Maxine Moldrem, Olive Thon, Gertrude Lund, Mary Hibner, and Ronald Jones.

NEW RCA RECORDER HERE FOR STUDIO Marking another milestone of advancement into the radio field by WWC, a new RCA recorder has arrived; and may be seen in the radio studio on the third flopr. This announcement was received Wednesday from Dr. Jack Cotton of the Speech department. The new recorder can do a professional job of making recordings and can use the large type of radio' disk. -It can and probably will be used to record stage plays and radio programs. The new recorder will also be an aid to the visual education classes in that it can be used to prepare records of talking to synchronize with picture slides. • ' Montague To Tell Stories Of Mounties "Montague of the Mounties," Sydney R. Montague, will present his thrilling story of his six years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, in the regular assembly next Friday, August 2. More than half of his time with the mounties was spent in Baffin-land, the largest police district in the world, under the shadow of the North Pole. He was one of ten men who were chosen for this lonesome northern patrol, from which only two men returned alive. The post was later abandoned because of the danger. During this experience, Montague discovered that the Eskimos were real people, and in his lecture shatters many theories about the Eskimos and the Canadian Mounted Police. Among the theories he discusses, is the one on the Mounted Police always getting their man. Montague says that if there is a man to get, they usually get him, but there are many more important things demanding attention. Canada, stretching from the United States to the north pole, is a vast country that must be policed and kept in order. William Matchan, baritone, will sing for the assembly next Tuesday, July 30. Mr. Matchan was presented in concert here before and was^ very well received. BOARD ABOLISHES COUNCIL Having only a lifetime of one year, the student and faculty Publications council was abolished subject to approval of the faculty by the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday.

MORE THAN 473,000 STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS, colleges, ond universities throughout; the country were employed on NYA jobs in March, 1940. This means that one out of every seventeen of America's high school students and one out of every ten college and university students were earning federal funds on projects planned and supervised by local educational authorities. In evaluating the student work program there are many factors to be considered. In the first place, the work performed by the' students has not only enabled the educational system to operate more efficiently. It has.resulted in an invaluable contribution to the advancer ment of knowledge in many fields through the research assistance provided by the students. In the second place, the development of planned work programs, carefully integrated with the needs and interests of both students and schools, has helped to remove the cloistered atmosphere from general education by giving many students a practical Work experience. In the third place, the student work program gains significance from the fact that it is a new method of helping to realize the American goal of equal educational opportunities for all. Finally, because of these three factors, the funds which have been spent in assisting these hundreds of thousands of students must be regarded as an investment—an investment in our educational plant, an investment in productive research, an investment in many of our nation's future citizens and workers who are thereby much more adequately prepared to serve in a democracy and to contribute to its future prosperity and welfare. Regardless of who is elected in the coming fall election, may the NYA not be forgotten. It needs to live. Anyone.who thinks that women aren't becoming the stronger sex should have noted the marquees of the downtown theaters last week. All running at the same time were the following features: "Andy Hardy Meets Debutante," "Dr.' Christian Meets the Woman," "Cisco Kid and the Lady,' "Lone Wolf Meets the Lady," and ^Sailor's Lady." Ah, poor men! How Football Became Major Sport Thirty-seven years ago, a young man stood in front of a group of boys in' the old* house that once was across f r om Barton's hall. He was suggesting and urging the men of the college to form a football team. "Think of the honor, glamor, and the glory. Think of the fun. "Oh, come on, trays, what can we lose?" That man was L. A. Kibbe and his talk had not been futile. A committee was sent to see Dr. Matties, then president of WWC. He gave his consent provided the boys would not run the college into debt. Lawyer R. W. Greene, still in Bellingham, father of Helen Greene, former WWC s t u d e n t , was • made head coach. There were 37 boys in school against 300 girls, a ratio of 10 to 1. Nearly all the boys were out for practice. Mr. Kibbe wanted to play but the heavy load of studies prevented it. He did his part, however, and took up the duties of yell leader, ticket taker, and all-around general manager. The day of" the big game came. The opponents were the eleven of the New Whatcom high. In blue • and white cheering section sat only seven brave girls of the noble 300. Across the field in a frenzy of cheering sat a huge crowd of Whatcom backers. The hour was a disappointing one to Mr. Kibbe but he started to make the best of his small cheering section. Just then two huge fellows stepped up from out of nowhere. "What seems to be the trouble, Buddy?" Mr. Kibbe explained his predicament. One of the big fellows waved his ami to a crowd of similar-sized behemoths standing off to the left. Soon the blue and white cheering section was making more noise than the combined forces of the Whatcom high. The Hilltoppers came through, too, with a 6-5 victory. A touchdown counted only 5 points in those days. After the game, Mr. Kibbe asked a friend who his kind supporters had been. "Why don't you know? They're wrestlers. There's Prank Gotch and there's Farmer Burns. They wrestled for the championship of the world last night. All those other big fellows were here to watch the match." And that's how football became a major sport of WWC.

Towards the end of June, the Columbia University Press announced the results of its poll, conducted among the readers of the "The Pleasures of Publishing" (house organ of the Press), to select the books which any candidate for the American presidency should read and be familiar with above all others. There were 429 book titles named, and 95 of these titles were mentioned more than once. The first ten of those titles that were named most frequently are listed below. All of the books mentioned are in the library. 220-B47—The Bible. 813-St. 34—Steinbeck, John—The Grapes of Wrath.

FORMER INSTRUCTOR HERE FOR SHORT VISIT Professor Gebaroff of the John Marshal! junior high school in Seattle, and former WWC instructor, was a visitor of Franklin Shaver, school printer, last week. Mr. Gebaroff had charge of the industrial arts department at WWC twenty-five years ago. He was the first to introduce printing into the teacher curriculum in the state of Washington. At the present time he has charge of the printing department of the John Marshall school. One of the highlights of his visit was the meeting in the halls of two - of his former students of 25 years ago. The Teacher and the Public By President Haggard The parent-teacher association is a very important agency of school interpretation. The membership of this organization at present is approxi-* mately 1,750,000. Its possibilities for broad contacts are not comparable to the newspaper, but it does afford especially good opportunities for the teacher to establish relationships with parents without seeming to interfere with what some individuals call parental prerogatives. The parent-teacher associations not only provides the opportunities for desirable personal contacts with parents but occasions for other forms of interpretation. • In every- community disputes regarding school procedures arise from time to time. These disputes usually emerge from misunderstanding. As an example, complaints regarding the evoluation techniques come to the school. Can one think of an organization or an agency better suited to provide for a panel discussion of this problem than the parent-teacher association? Another example may be the financial needs of the school district. The parent-teacher assocation is the organization that should first consider this problem. If properly carried out, mutual consideration of problems usually means mutual understanding. No agency of school interpretation has more worthy objectives than the parent-teacher association. Among its stated objectives are better understanding of the aims of the school, the establishment of a closer relationship between the home and the school, and organization to help meet the needs of the school. Teachers should welcome the opportunity to participate in the parent-teacher association. If the parent-teacher association is a problem for the school, wise leadership in most cases is the solution. Dr. W. W. Haggard Interesting Facts Probably of interest and not known to most WWC students is the fact that four of the present college instructors were graduates of this institution. They are L. A. Kibbe, class of 1905; S. A. Carver ^ 1913; Miss Hazel Breakey, 1914; and Miss Georgia Gragg, 1919. Miss Bertha Crawford, former supervisor of the eighth grade in the training school, now retired, graduated from here in 1917. Miss Mae Meade, college nurse, although not a graduate, attended the training school. Mr. Carver and Miss Crawford are the only two who began teatching here immediately after graduation. Sam Carver was perhaps the first example of proselyting in the annals of WWC. Dr. Bond was the college coach at the time. "I needed a.forward," said Dr. Bond, "and down in the dust of the Bloedel Donovan mill I saw that forward. He was Sam Carver. Of course £ told him that a mill was no place for a young man. What he needed was an education and a future, but there really were not any philanthropic ideas jn my heart. What I wanted was a forward and I got him."

For instance: The distance of forward passes will be measured from the line of scrimmage to the point of completion. Kicking yardage will start from the line of scrimmage, to the point of dissention. However, if a punt goes over the goal line computation will stop at the goal line, that is, if the ball is kicked from the forty and lands behind the goal, the kick will be computed as a forty-yard boot. . . . Another item that they take into consideration is that only the actual number of first downs will be scored. If the ball is on the eight-yard line with first and goal to go and the yardage is made, no credit of a first down will be awarded. In other words, a team will have to travel a full ten yards in order to be credited with a first down. We think that this is a good scheme but until all the scribes, etc., catch on there will probably be some divergence. We wish to congratulate HOMER H. HEIN, the former Washington state college athlete, who recently signed as the head coach at St. Martin s college. Homer is well known to this locality having been reared in Bel-lingham and Burlington. He is the brother of Mel Hein, who has been all-league center with the New York Giants in professional football for the past seven seasons. Hein graduated, from WSC in 1933. He'was track coach at bongoiew from 1933 to 1935. From 1935 to 1937 he coached all sports at Darrington. For the past two years he has been recreation directorial: Berkeley, California. Hein succeeds the colorful, friendly, Joe Paglia who resigned to enter private business. Our palm is also extended to LEONARD H. YANDLE, former Conzaga university basketball player who will be head basketball coach and assist Hein in football and track. Yandle has coached at Spokane and Multnomah junior colleges. His home is in Oregon City. Interesting sidelights—This boy Erickson from Arlington who is now beginning to look like an old man still seems to have plenty on the ball. . . . He held the single men of the college to one hit in three innings of baseball the other night. . . . Over in the College Inn they're talking of a tournament that will set a new precedent in the annals of WWC. . . . I t may be necessary to call in Dr. Bond and several other prominent mathematicians to help Dr. Cederstrom figure out the handicaps. . . Russell Jackson has threateningly announced that he will try a comeback for his 75-yard individual medley record sometime in the coming Fall. . . . Howard Hardy recently usurped Jackson's title. . . . And may we say in closing, like Royal Brougham, we, too, feel that Al Hostak is making a mistake in trying for a comeback. . . Babe Risko used to say if his hands were right, he could knock over telephone poles, but they weren't. . . and where is the Babe now? NINETY ENJOY INDIAN SALMON BAKE Salmon baked Indian style by actual Indians was the treat provided 90 people by recreation headquarters Tuesday evening. Mrs. AnT drew Joe, of LaConner. Wash., cut the salmon in small pieces and putting it on thin ironwood sticks, baked it over alder coals. After the salmon-and-coffee-feast Martin Sampson, chairman of the council of LaConner reservation, spoke concerning old Indian beliefs, the general status of the Indian, and the work that has been done on the LaConner reservation for the Indians.

Three members of the task force voted to remove the current policy and replace it with acampus-wide bicycle ban and three members voted to continue the probation of the current policy untilthe end of December 1997. One member, acting parking and transportation manasger Carl Root,abstained from voting. George Pierce, vice president of Business and Financial Affairs' arid co-chair ofthe task force, said previously he would determine Western's bicycle policy based on the task force'srecommendations. However, because of the stalemate, Pierce said he would decide the outcome ofthe campus' bicycle dismount policy. Pierce, a non-voting member on the task force, has authoritythrough the Washington Administrative Code to make all decisions about bicycle dismount policies atthe university. After he talked to the President's Council, an advisory body made up of vice presidentsand senior level members at Western., and members of the old Bicycle Task Force, Pierce said he would make a decision about the policy by next week. Pierce said at this point, he hasn't made up his mindabout either policy. "I'm walking right down the middle of the road on this one," Pierce said. The currentpolicy, under probation since January 1, mandates that students must dismount their bikes 15 minutesbefore the hour and 15 minutes after the hour between the red brick areas, from 7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.Monday through Friday. A complete bicycle ban would restrict bike riding in the red brick areas from7:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. on class days. " " ":'" â€¢' Any new bicycle policy would take affect thebeginning of summer quarter, Pierce said. Some task force members supported and others opposedcontinuing the current policy because the number of students who dismounted their bicyclesduring spring quarter dropped from winter quarter. The group also disagreed on the effectiveness of thetask force's bicycle code education campaign. Greg Kuhn, Associated Students representative to theHealth and Safety See Bike, page 3 Washington Student Lobby finishes year of lobbying By BrianKingsberry The Western Front The 1997 legislative session has finally come to a close and severalchanges have helped depict a reasonably positive outlook for Western students in the future. Tuitionincreases remained reasonably low for most classes of students (4 percent), financial aidappropriations increased by nearly $30 million within the next biennium, access to higher education wasexpanded by nearly 7,000 enrollments, pre-paid tuition is now a reality and several punitive measuresdesigned to punish students with excess credits were defeated. While several proposals students havesupported may not have passed (students on governing boards, for one), overall this was anothersuccessful legislative session for students. Of the several bills that passed at the 55th Legislature,Senate bill 5927, House bill 1372 and House bill 2259 are several that will have the most impact onWestern's student body in the future. Senate bill 5927 is a bill that has had many incarnations during thecourse of the legislative session., and WSL did their best to make this bill as student friendly aspossible. The final version of the bill included an across the board 4 percent tuition increase forresident undergraduates, but also removed provisions that would have penalized students fortaking excess credits and implemented a $375,000 scholarship program for needy and deservingstudents. "I think that with inflation like it is, a 4 percent tuition increase is a reasonable amount," juniorGary Tolle-fson said. "Of course, you'd like to pay less, but there has to be some kind of compromisewe can all agree upon." House bill 1372 is a pre-paid tuition bill that will pass into law this year. This billwill allow parents and prospective students the ability to buy "tuition units" from the state, locking intoday's tuition prices for tomorrow's tuitions. WSL has supported this bill in the past and considers it amajor victory for anyone working to increase access and affordability in our state's higher educationsystem. The budget bill (House bill 2259) has included $350,000 in seed money to get this programgoing. "I think having the opportunity for prepaid tuition will be beneficial to students who work in orderto pay their way through college," junior Kathy Jansen said. "This program gives students theopportunity to take advantage of the tuition units that they've purchased when they finally entercollege." The operating budget, as passed by the legislature on April 27, included several changes. Oneof these changes is a State Need Grants increase to fund families with incomes at 45 percent of thestate median income and a funding increase of 24 million for the biennium. Also added is a work study increase instrumental in serving approximately 3,000 new students. Another important issue included inthe operating budget is a 3 percent faculty salary increase for each year of the next biennium. Thisincrease will allow each campus to have a pool of money available to retain and recruit top faculty. Inaddition, tuition revenue may be used for optional faculty salary increases. "I think giving teachers apay increase is a good thing," junior Joel Chatterson said. "Paying teachers more money helpsmaintain the quality of teachers here at Western. Good teachers are important because they inspirestudents to become doctors and See WSL, page 8 ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 2 ---------- THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 2 J\EwVS June 3. 1997 Campus Police May 30,11:40 p.m.: A PierceCounty stop sign was recovered in the Higginson Hall area.

Per Johnson was playingultimate frisbee with his friends in the park at the time of the incident. He gave the dog support andhelped look for the person's car that hit the dog, Johnson said the veterinarian attributed the bloodcoming from the dog's mouth to a bit tongue. The dog also had a sprained ankle. The veterinarianprescribed antibiotics for the dog. Seven people, who were witness to the accident, wrote a letter to the editor, which appeared in last Friday's issue of The Front. These seven people weren't the onlyones at the park when the dog was hit; other people helped after the dog hit and left in the street. "I was impressed with the people who where there to help with the dog. All of them contributed greatly. Youcould tell that they all cared," he said. so aw*?

Fourteen- year-old Triffina De-Angelo and 13-year-old Tracy Thompson were killed early Sundayas they walked home from their eighth-grade graduation party. Authorities say they have no suspectsbut are looking for a vehicle with severe front-end damage from the crash. The vehicle that struck thegirls was traveling in the opposite direction as the youngsters. A passerby found the girls' bodies in aditch shortly before 6 a.m. Couple cover themselves with only an umbrella LONG VIEW â€” We nowknow why the couple was walking on a downtown Longview street wearing not much more than anumbrella. Police say the two were drunk Sunday, and the man had lost a bet. To pay it off, he had towalk from a gas station to the Hudson Hotel in the nude. The woman told police she stripped down toher underwear to keep him company. They were cited for lewd conduct. National Florida retireesexposed with pinup calendar PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. â€” There's no air-brushing away the wrinkles onthese pin-up models. The youngest one is 70. The Bike, from page 1 Committee and member of thetask force, said he observed 483 bike riders during spring quarter at specific locations on campus. Fifty-nine percent dismounted from their bicycles, or six out of 10 students walked their bikes during therestricted time period. Kuhn reported 29 percent of students who did not dismount rode slowly and 12percent rode too fast. During winter quarter, Kuhn recorded 73 percent of students walked theirbicycles, or seven out of 10 dismounted between classes. According to Kuhn's report, from winter tospring quarter, the number of students in compliance with the current bicycle code declined by 14percent. The task force did not establish a percentage that would indicate a high success rate for thecurrent policy. Kuhn said fast riders caused the greatest safety concern of all bikers, and theirnumbers had remained constant since last quarter. However, before the 15- minute policy wasimplemented, fast riders ranged from 25 to 30 percent of bikers on campus, Kuhn said. "The (current)code has made a difference with people who are the greatest safety hazard," Kuhn said. Studentscomplied more often with the dismount times when campus security were present, Kuhn said. "I feel ifsecurity were out there, if there was significant patrolling, there would be better compliance," Kuhn said. Chief of University Police Doug Gill said he believes more students would follow the dismount policy ifmore security were available, but he said he didn't have the resources to increase adherence to thebike policy. "It's difficult with the current manpower to do it. With class scheduling, it's difficult to get(student security) at that time of day," Gill said. April Markiewicz, task force member and researchtechnologist supervisor for Huxley's Institute of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, said 59percent was unacceptable and senior-citizen models are residents at the Royal Palm RetirementCentre in Port Charlotte, Fla. They range in age from 70 to 95, and they grace the complex's 1998calendar. Last year's calendar netted $4,000 for a hardship fund for the residents. The models saythey have some fun, too. In one shot, William Wetzel holds his trench coat open, revealing he'swearing nothing but shorts. In the finished shot, the shorts will be blanked out by a banner that says,"censored." Wetzel is 88. He said, "You're never too old to have a good sense of humor." Courtsrejected appeal of HIV infected soldier SUPREME COURT â€” The Supreme Court has rejected theappeal of an HIV-infected former soldier imprisoned for having unprotected sex with his wife. The soldierclaimed the Army violated his marital privacy rights by ordering him to wear a condom duringintercourse. T he soldier's wife and another woman had filed complaints against him saying he never told them of his condition and had unprotected sex with them. Carinel Pritchard Junior was court-martialedat Fort Drum, New York in 1993 and was found guilty of willfully disobeying the safe-sex order. He also was found guilty of aggravated assault against his wife for not wearing a condom and of oral sodomywith another woman. International Cattle rustlers kill many people from rival tribe KAMPALA, Ugandaâ€” A new ethnic bloodshed is in Africa â€” this time in Uganda. A Ugandan newspaper, "New Vision,"reports rustlers killed 76 people from a rival tribe last week in northeastern Uganda and stole theircattle herds. Among the dead were 50 children. Cattle rustling has been a way of life in the region, but a few deaths in the past because only bows and arrows were used. Russians told to look for fake vodkaafter many die MOSCOW â€” Russians are being warned to watch out for fake vodka. Police in Moscow have seized a freight train packed with 240,000 bottles of fake vodka made from industrial alcohol. InSiberia, a total of 22 people have died since Friday from drinking fake alcohol. Police say the fakebooze smells like alcohol but tastes like rubber. AP Wire compiled by Nicky Loi showed the currentpolicy wasn't working. AS Vice President for Student Life and co-chair of the bicycle task force J.P.Elliott said he felt 73 percent compliance during winter quarter was significant and education was needed to ensure students continued to follow the policy.

"I don't feel students' excuses that they don't know the (policies) are goodones. We've educated the students and they should know," Markiewicz said. Elliott said he thoughtmembers on the task force believed that constantly educating students was difficult and it was toomuch work. Policy education needs to become part of the process, but it won't without more support,Elliott said. "It hasn't become part of (campus) culture. We haven't given (students) the chance," Elliott said. Although some group members stressed more education for students on the current policy,others said another education campaign would not teach enough students to comply with the currentbicycle code. "We're talking about a lot more effort and more money for the privilege of students to ridebetween classes. It's a lot of work, from my viewpoint," Markiewicz said. "As an employee here, I stilldon't really see that its working. There has to be a point where we have to say it's not working,"Markiewicz said. "There's not a single bicyclist out there who doesn't know the rules ... I don't thinkmore education will work. I don't buy the argument that (a complete ban) is an inconvenience forbikers. I don't believe (student opposition) overrides the safety of the entire campus," said Rudi Weiss,foreign language professor and task force member. Root gave several reasons for his abstention fromthe final vote. Root said his job is to encourage alternative forms of transportation, such as bikeriding, but his objective is to also make the campus more safe. The vote would make him choose oneside over the other, Root said. Weiss, Markiewicz and Gayle Shipley, director of environmental health and safety, opposed extending the probation of the current policy until December 1997. Gill, Elliott andKuhn supported probation of the current policy. Three students who served on the Bicycle Task Forceand were invited to vote with the Policy Task Force, did not attend the meeting.

By Michelle Rennie The WesternFront A photography exhibit entitled "Out and About on Campus" opens today and runs until Friday June 6 in the main lounge of Fairhaven College; an opening reception will be tonight at 7 p.m. The exhibit of17 photographs and autobiographical captions of lesbian, gay and bisexual students and faculty fromWashington state universities and colleges, is the research work of five Western Cultural Anthropologyseniors. "The people in the photos submitted the images. It's the way they see themselves and the waythey wish to be seen," organizer Jen Rho said. 'They also wrote their own captions." Titles of allphotographs are the first names of the people shown. "By displaying this exhibit, we hope to raise public awareness and understanding of LGB (lesbian gay bisexual) issues arid to help break down negativestereotypes, which are harmful to everyone," the introduction to the exhibit states. Some photographsare posed stills, others looked like vacation snapshots, while one captioned "Katherine" is a creativerepresentation of the subject. The caption for "Katherine" reads, "I love the human body; in my mind, it isthe most beautiful metaphor for human experience- male, female, huge, tiny, wide, wrinkled, jiggling in laughter or shaking with sobs â€” it tells you something about the person inside." Dennis' photo showsa neatly-dressed man sitting under a tree near some tulips. His caption states he is 45 yearsand a staffmember at Western. "I'm happy to be part of an academic community because I realize that onlyknowledge will ever overcome the prejudices and fears that lie at the hear of ignorance," his captionreads. Darci, a sophomore at Fairhaven, submitted a photo of herself and a friend. Her caption reads,"[she] plans on becoming a human rights lawyer specializing in advocating for the gay and women'scommunities." Two of the students compiling the exhibit are also subject matter. Kim Saito, one of the organizers, submitted1 a-photo of herself on the beach. In'h'e'pau'tb'biogra-phy,'â€¢' she states she isbisexual.' When asked if being a part of the exhibit was going to be difficult for her, she answered, "partof me wants to be part of the work, part of me wants to be objective." Jason Siperly is the other memberof the exhibit organizers who donated a photo of himself for the exhibit. Siperly is the coordinator ofthe Lesbian Gay Bisexual Alliance at Western. By Jim Morrell III The Western Front After the recentannouncement that the lower weight room in Carver Gym known as "the Cage" will no longer be free tostudents, Associated Students is raising quesi-tons as to what is to be done with the recreationalfacilities for the future. "We (AS staff) met with the faculty to discuss the issue and understood why they had to close down the weight room," AS President Leslie Keller said Sunday. "This is just a sign of amuch bigger problem," said J.P. Elliot, AS vice president for Student Life. A new recreationalfacility is what the AS is ultimately after. After being notified of the cage's "absorption" intoParberry Gym, the AS immediately put out petitions for a new facility. Elliot said what the AS wants isa multi-recreational facility that can be used for people outside Western athletics. There are currentlythree different groups using Carver Gym; Physical Education Health and Recreation department, campusrecreation and the athletic program. What the AS wants is something that any student can use,anytime, for free, whether it is for basketball or to go run track, without having to worry about beingkicked out by the basketball team having practice. "A new campus recreation facility has been on theagenda for a long time now, but everytime it goes to Olympia it always gets shot down," Elliot said. -"The issue comes up a lot and what was really lacking was student voice. I feel with the petitions wehave going around now we are creating awareness that this situation needs to be dealt with," he said.After a recent survey taken by Western in October 1996 on on-campus facilities, it seems that studentsare not pleased with what was offered on campus. One survey pointed out that 27 percent A newcampus relt;0atiq0 facility has b^^pn Â§^agenda for a long time now, but everytime it goes to Olympia it always gets shot down. ^ â€” Lejtie Keifer president oj the Associated Students of the studentpopulation rated "... how well Western's facilities met their needs" as "poor" and another 40 percent rated it as "fair." When asked about facilities on campus, Western junior Donny Legge said, "I have used the facilities (free ones) on campus a few times, and I didn't think they were all that great. There were hardlyany free-weights. It was all nautilus equipment, very outdated and it was always crammed with people."Sophomore Emily Lesch said, "I used to love going to the cage ... I hate going up to Parberry. I feel so intimidated by all those huge people working out next to me." When asked about other facilitieson campus, like the Ridgeway facility, Lesch said, "They suck. I don't like those machines at all."What we want to do is raise the issue (for a new facility) now so our successors will keep bringing it upnext year to make more progress," Keller said. "We have got lots of petitions out right now and hopefully students will return them to keep things moving along," Keller said. Marie Sather, director of CampusRecreation, is also in full support of a new facility. "When the students originally reacted to the closing of the cage, there was a lot of negative energy going around. I wanted to take that energy and turn it into apositive by having them look at the big picture of on-campus recreation. The,closing of the cage is only a small part of on-campus recreational problems." Sather said. "We use recreation as part of ourmission statement to prospective students. I believe that athletics are extremely important ingrowing up," Elliot said. "If we were to build a new multi-recreational center that would make Westernthat much more competitive against other schools," he said. .LS^^CJJEÂ»jCiMAT Preparation from TheSteven Klein Company featuring.,. â€¢ 36 hours of in-class teaching â€¢ three proctored exams â€¢additional help sessions â€¢ instructor ~ Steven Klein â€¢ free application advising â€¢ Price--$495 Call now for more information on the LSAT, GRE or GMAT a Classes for the next LSAT will, be August2,5,6, 7 j SPA 352 ANATOMY PHYSIOLOGY OFFERED THIS SUMMER Students who areinterested in the field of Speech.

Community members play withworld By Michelle Rennie and Sara Buckwitz The Western Front A diverse group of about 60 people,ranging in age from 15 to 70-something, gathered Sunday afternoon in Carver Gym to.experience first-hand the task of solving world problems. They came to find solutions that would make the world work,said Chuck Dingee, a former Western student and the Pacific Northwest representative for the WorldGame Institute. Playing the game is a chance to gain "global education experimentally," World Gameintern Pamm Harslebacher said. As each participant entered the gym, they received a profile sheetindicating their role and region they would represent for the duration of the exercise. Western's WorldGame Club, Geography Club, International Club and Peace Resource Center sponsored Sunday's four-hour event. The World Game was created in 1969 by R. Buckminister Fuller, an eccentric philosopher,inventor and visionary. Fuller was best known for his design of the U.S. pavilion at the 1967 World's Fairin Montreal, Dingee said. Fuller knew government leaders had access to all the information needed tovalidate their war games. In his game, the enemies are not other countries, but universal problems,such as illiteracy, resource and energy production versus consumption. By 1972, Fuller created a non-profit World Game Institute to promote his idea. His goal was "to make the world work for 100 percent ofhumanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense orthe disadvantage of anyone." The game board is a Fuller-projection map of 75 feet by 35 feet that spansthe floor. This map is the largest and most accurate in the world, Dingee said. And it looks different fromthe Mercator map, invented in the 1600s, that hangs in almost every school classroom. The Fullerprojection map minimizes the amount of distortion, Dingee said. Dingee commenced the workshop byusing the length of the map as a timeline starting at 4.5 billion years ago up to 1997. To visuallydemonstrate the length of time, he moved across the map. Proportionally, the existence of the humanrace is only the width of a hair on his timeline. At about 3000 B.C., the first of the human markersrepresenting 120 million people came out of the crowd and positioned themselves on the map. AsDingee narrated the major events of the centuries, more people moved out onto the map, taking theirplace in Asia, the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. By 1850, the human markers representeda 1 billion population increase within the 10 world regions. At 1950, half the group was on the map. Thedensity in Asia and India is beginning to become evident. In the next 47 years, the population on the map doubles and all the participants are on the map. Five people stand on North America, fewerv than inSouth America. Toy props were distributed representing each region's food production, while candlesportrayed energy resources. An informational kit armed each region with detailed, up-to-date statisticsregarding the unique challenges they would be tackling. The game works by giving a visual image to thestatistics. Each region had the general goals of attaining 100 percent literacy, necessary energy andfood. "North America consumes more food than every other region other than China and uses moreenergy resources than every other region," Dingee said. Amar Kasukonis, who started playing the gamebut then decided to observe, said he did not think the game was real enough. All the food wasted onWestern's campus could feed 10 villages in Africa, he said. Each group began to work on theirchallenges, attempting to find solutions that could be paid for with their resources and their ability toborrow from wealthier regions. Meanwhile, representatives from world organizations UNESCO, the WorldHealth Organization and commercial banks visited each region to help them attain their goals andreprimand them for infractions. For the first round, the regions developed imaginative solutions for theirtough regional problems. When proposed, those solutions were taken to world organizations andrewarded for creativity. By the second round, interaction between the regions was beginning to happen. Southeast Asia had a grievance with Europe for testing nuclear bombs on their islands, so they sent arepresentative to Europe to ask them to stop the nuclear testing and to pay $20 billion for compensa-Front/Sara Buckwitz Participants take a walk around the world Sunday afternoon in Carver Gym as partof The World Game Institute's program on how to solve world problems. tion and clean-up. Europe didn'twant to pay that amount, so they negotiated. The European representative said, "We're taking ourtechnology and cleaning up the waste" in order to convince Southeast Asia to accept $15 billion and one technology coupon. India proposed a world conference on literacy for which the participant regions allreceived literacy points. Africa sold some of their natural resources to Japan in exchange for $100 billion. The group discussed its dreams between the second and third rounds for the year 2017. Dingee filled anoverhead projector film with over 25 hopes ranging from complete equality and distribution of wealth tofree access to all media to eliminating disease. Of the more than 200,000 people who have participated in the World Game Workshop,'ithe list remains virtually unchanged, Dingee said. And the good news isthat all of these problems can or will be solved, he said. By the end of the third round, all regions hadbettered their living and environmental standards. North America had established universal health care.Africa had raised its literacy to 75 percent. A discussion followed the game. Haslebacher asked theparticipants what they learned. "Being in Russia, sort of in the middle of things ... we were just trying tokeep the roof over our heads," Phil Heft said. The situation made him wonder how bad it must have beenin either India or Africa. "It was a real eye-opener," he said. "We were able to solve several problemswith one strategy, and we did all this without the help of America," said Sara Rodgers, of the Africandelegation. At the end of the afternoon, everyone gathered at the outer edges of the map. He covered the map with 40,000 red, plastic chips as a dramatic visual of the problems facing the planet. When theWorld Game Institute started in the early '70s, the chips represented 50,000 nuclear weapons, he said.Now, the 20,000 chips on the map represent the progress of world disarmament. By the year 2000, only7000 chips will be left, Dingee said. - He concluded the afternoon with the Chinese proverb, "the journeyof a thousand miles begins with one step," and removed a chip and the problem it represented fromthe global map.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT 1400 BroadwayBellingham, Wa 98225 (360) 733-7944 PTVRTfTHT WIGHT ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 6 ---------- City building skatepark to keep kids off streets By Corey Lewis The Western Front When the newskatepark in Bellingham opens, the familiar sights and sounds of skateboarders grinding the curbs of the downtown area will become a thing of the past. Land has been designated for the skatepark to be builton. So now the Whatcom County Skatepark Foundation has set its sights on raising the $50,000 itneeds to fully fund the skatepark. Whatcom County had donated $45,000 towards construction of thepark when it was first put into motion. The WCSF, a group of skateboarders and parents who overseethe design and funding of the skatepark, have raised about $25,000 through various fundraising efforts.The WCSF had two big fundraisers within the last two months. It put on a concert at Cosmos Cafe,and had a booth at the Ski To Sea festival where local merchants donated merchandise to them, and itauctioned and raffled items off, as well as selling T-shirts. The WCSF made $1,100 from the boothand informed people about what it was trying to do, said WCSF member Shelly Ness. After the Ski ToSea event, The WCSF doesn't have any fundraisers planned for now. However, Ethan Allen, askateboarder and WCSF member, says that the city may donate more money. The WCSF did have asetback in their fundraising efforts. It had planned on having a large-scale concert and skateboardcompetition at the Whatcom County Sports Arena. It had free use of the building and was looking into booking bands from Epitaph Records. However, the arena was damaged during the winter storms anddue to a fight between the city and the county over funding for repairs, the offer was retracted. Thedesign for the skatepark includes a big area with curved walls that range from four to six feet tall, flyramps, rails and raised circular areas. The county has also hired skatepark designer Steve Rose as aconsultant so it has an idea of what designs are feasible for their budget. Rose has designedskateparks in Kent, Anacortes, Salem, Ore. and Venice Beach, Calif. But despite the professionalconsultation, WCSF members have designed their own park and would like to stick to that design. "Atfirst we had a really elaborate design that everyone was stoked on, but it was too expensive so we had to slim down a bit. But it's still really good," Allen said. Front/Corey Lewis Skaters like Ethan Allen won'thave to illegally pursue their hobby anymore, as he is here on the steps of the Whatcom CountyCourthouse. A new skatepark is to be built for their use. A meeting is scheduled at 5:30 p.m. tonight atCarl Cozier Elementary School. It is to discuss design with skateboarders not involved with the WCSF.Flyers were sent out to people on the skatepark's mailing list, so Ness said he hopes more than 1,00people will show to talk about what people like and don't like about Rose's and the WCSF members'proposal. The WCSF meets at 5 p.m. Mondays at at the County Courthouse, 311 Prospect St., room101. FEELING LEFT OUT IN THE COMPUTER AGE?

As decided by the statelegislature, all state employees will be eligible for a 3 percent salary increase, effective July 1. Theseraises will cost Western $3 million. Included in the salary increase will be all Western classified andexempt staff, as well as faculty. Classified staff who have not reached the top of their pay scale willreceive scheduled step increments each fiscal year. In addition, the classified staff will receive a 3percent raise. This will cost Western an additional $375,000 over the biennium. Classified employees are defined as civil servants under state law and have their salaries set by the state. Examples ofclassified staff at Western are secretaries, custodians and maintenance workers. Exempt staff,who have their salaries set by the university, will get the 3 percent increase plus an additional 1 percenttied to performance reviews effective July 1. They will receive another 2 percent tied to performancereviews effective July 1, 1998. Examples of exempt staff at Western include those in administrativepositions, personnel and counselors. In addition to the 3 percent increase, faculty will receive a 1percent cost-of-living raise, and an average increase of 2 percent, based on recommendations from theFaculty Salary and Welfare Committee effective July 1, 1998. The additional 1 percent raise given to both faculty and exempt staff will cost Western an additional $1.4 million. President Karen Morse, asquoted in the May 8 edition of the FAST newsletter, said of the additional raises, "Clearly, we arepleased that we gained authority to grant additional salary increases to some employees, but we have to fund those increases out of programmatic dollars â€” dollars that we had hoped to use to "betterprepare for increased student enrollments and curriculum improvements over the biennium. Western will also spend an additional $388,000 over the next biennium for increases in employee benefits, andan estimated $200,000 will be needed to pay for inflation in the areas of utilities and postage.According to VP for External Affairs Al Froderberg, Western's original proposal to the state legislatureincluded a 7.5 percent raise for the faculty and staff. Froderberg said this plan met with resistancebecause of budget limits placed by initiative 601, forcing employees to settle for the 3 percent raise.Froderberg said giving state employees a 1 percent raise costs the state $100 million. University Budget Director Jack Cooley said Western employees have only received increases totaling 4 percent over four years, an average of 1 percent per year, while inflation has reached up to 3 percent each year. Cooley says he believes this means the 3 percent raise docs not begin to make up for the costs of inflation that employees have incurred. Staff displays artistic side By Lucy Kee The Western Front In the thirdannual Arts and Crafts Show, 49 Western staff members will display their art works from 11 a.m. to 4p.m. through Friday June 6 in the Viking Union Main Lounge. This year, more than 60 pieces rangingfrom photography to quilts to watercolor and oil paintings will be on display. "It's interesting ... youwork next to a person for 10 years, then suddenly, they come out with this amazing work," said showcoordinator Linda Strock. "It's a side of the employees that you rarely get to see." "It's also fascinatingbecause we don't get to see what the items look like until the day before [the show begins]," Strocksaid. With titles like "Hog Heaven" and "Petals, Poetry and Pieces of the Past," many of the works arepaintings and drawings, but the show also includes mixed media, woodwork, quilts, photographs,ceramics, needlework, origami and porcelain dolls. One of the pieces entitled "Sacred Salmon" by Micki Mavoureen, is a fish quilt wall hangins. In the piece, Mavoureen tanned the skins of salmons andincluded them in her piece. "Far and Away Round Robin" by Camille Hackler, is a queen-sized bed quiltin barn reds, navy blues and tans. This piece is special because it took a combined effort from manyindividuals to produce the quilt. The porcelain Indian doll by Mary McClary entitled "White Feather"includes a wig that McClary had made herself. McClary also molded the clay and made all of the clothes herself. "One of the hardest things about coordinating the show is finding space," Strock said. Thedifficult part is having to secure a location for a one-week block. "We should already have a space fornext year â€” we began looking in March," she added. Another difficulty with coordinating the showis finding people willing to let go of their art long enough to put it on display. "We have to assure themthat their artwork will be protected and safe," Strock said. "They wonder if it will get stolen, broken orif they will get laughed at." To guarantee the artwork will not be stolen, gallery guards have been hired.DIRTY DAN HARRIS PRIME RIB, STEAKS, SEAFOOD Make reservations â€¢ fi/|! now for June^Graduation Dinner!

The Human Race, sponsored by the Whatcom VolunteerCenter, is a run/walk that raises money for several non-profit organizations in the community. Thefundraiser is unique because, "it is a fundraiser where everyone works together and walks together tosupport any non-profit organization in the community," Michele Higgins, committeef chair andWhatcom Volunteer Board president said. Participants are encouraged to form teams and raise pledges for their designated charity. Seventy-five percent of all pledges go. directly to the agency the teammember is walking for; 25 percent is donated to the WVC for organizing the event. Armed withbanners and rain gear, volunteers crowded outside of the protective roof of the ferry terminal to eatbagels, drink coffee and warm-up before the race. Bill Quehrn of KGMI News Plus 790 emceed theevent with the help of Bellingham Mayor Mark Asmundson, who welcomed the volunteers. He praisedthe event and all the "heart and soul" the volunteers put into the community. "Without it, we would not be the community we are," he said. Tammy Bennett of the YMCA led the crowd in a morning warm-up ofjumping, marching and stretches. The Human Race was finally in, Slenes. "It was a wonderful race andcause, and who cares if it was raining," she said. City Council member and Whatcom Volunteer Centerboard member Louise Bjornson thought the crowd of runners and walkers was bigger than expected,especially with the rain storms. One aspect of the Human Race she enjoys is that "the comraderie isfun, and it is a race that anyone in the community can participate she said. This year, the Human Racealone raised $16,900 for Whatcom County nonprofit organizations. Last year, the race raised $33,000 for non-profit organizations, churches, schools and service clubs. Whatcom Volunteer City Coujtcilmember [Center works as an "umbrel-lla" for other organizations, *such as RSVP, a group of retiredsenior volunteers and SAY=YES to education, a group of volunteers that works with students in localschools on a one-on- one basis, placing volunteers into volunteer opportunities.

Western student Angie Slenes was thefirst runner to complete the race. Slenes said that she "likes to run because it provides an escape fromthe everyday stresses of life." Resident Julia Davies finished the race with her group soon after WSL,from page 1 lawyers, without them you're basically teaching yourself. I'm always happy to hear whenthey're getting the money they deserve." Not everything the WSL wanted passed made it through thelegislature. Senate bill 5517, which gained support from many students, did not pass. This bill wouldhave added one student to the Board of Trustees at Western. The student would serve a one-year term,and would have been chosen by the governor. Although this bill died in the House Rules Committee, itmade substantial progress this session, passing the Senate for the first time. Sen. Wood, the primesponsor, has already committed to working on the bill next year. "This bill has been up for 28 yearsnow, and this year we got closer than ever before," Associated Students Legislative Representative TresGallant said. "It remains a power struggle between the administration and the students. I've been working on getting it passed for four years now,.and I'll be back to support it again next year." In its first year on the ballot, Senate bill 5731 would have created a state matching fund for child-care expendituresmade at the state baccalaureate institutions. The fund would have encouraged innovation and quality at campus child-care facilities. While the bill died this session, Kohl will be convening a group oflegislators and other interested parties to work on campus child-care issues this summer. "There is a lot of support for child-care," Gallant said. "People know that you can't go to school and get to work if youdon't have child-care." Another bill which didn't survive was House Bill 1229. Designed to savestudents a few dollars, it would have exempted text book sales from the state sales tax. This bill died in.the House Finance Committee. "I was bitterly disappointed that so few representatives gave it ahearing," Gallant said. "They gave huge tax breaks to the rich, yet "refused to give this (House bill 1229)a chance." "Overall our efforts were a qualified success," Gallant said. "I was pleased with the bills thatpassed, and we made progress on a majority of the bills that failed. In the future, we need to becomeconcerned with initiatives that will limit revenue that the state can spend on education ... people will have to step up to the plate and handle the growing need for higher education."

Not only is it a perfect opportunity to release tension,it is a great way to become involved with the community, said business major Eddie Engelhardt. Outdoor exposure and some time on a trail is a great way to rejuvenate your spirits. Whatcom County offers avariety of volunteer environmental centers, including the Maritime Heritage Center and Green ways.Both programs strive to preserve Bellingham's environment through volunteer activities including wildlifehabitat, patrolling for litter, helping school classes with service- learning projects and repairing trails.The Maritime Heritage Center has various programs designed to teach elementary and middle schoolstudents how fish fit into their environment. Students are taught the natural history of fish, as well asreceiving first-hand experience in preserving the center's habitat. Beginning every fall, the MaritimeHeritage Center has volunteer programs throughout the year that include weeding, mulching and clearingaway overgrown plants. Often times students during the school year will work on a specific volunteerproject, and are able to see the results of their work. Another habitat restoration site, Greenways, has amultitude of activities that thrive on community support. Stated in the Bellingham Greenways Guide Map, "Greenways are assemblies of public and private lands, usually along corridors defined by waterfeatures, steep slopes, wildlife movements, utility corridors or old railways. They reflect a communityplanning effort to preserve and enhance open space for a wide range of uses and users." GreenwaysPark Operation Center is the pinpoint of all Greenways activity. Most of the land is set aside to aid in theharvesting of native plants, used for city and Greenways restoration projects. Greenways receives itsplants from three sources. The majority of Greenways plants come from local nurseries, said SallyManifold, Greenways volunteer coordinator. The Skagit Conservation District and donations from othergrowers provide the remainder of Greenways growth. The seedlings are either planted directly or within ayear, to specified habitat reservation areas in Bellingham. Most recently, Greenways completed therestoration of the South Bay Trail, which runs through Boulevard Park. The Greenways VolunteerProgram has a number of ways students can volunteer and help out in the community: â€¢Drop-inactivities: Greenways issues a monthly news brochure that lists volunteer work parties and events inBellingham. Libraries, bike and outdoor shops and City Hall all carry informational brochures. â€¢Ask for a project: Organize a work party among friends or within a class. Ask for a time and area of your choice, then provide the labor. The program will provide materials, plants, tools, directions and supervisionof work. â€¢ A d o p t - a - t r a i l: Interested organizations or individuals can sign , on for long-term.mainte- r: , ^. , nance duties that fit your skills on your favorite trail section. â€¢Fill out a volunteerapplication: If you have special interests or skills, you can be called when a need arises. â€¢Be a sitesteward: Those who have some interest in or knowledge of native plants can monitor, maintain and planrestoration work at a planting site established along a trail. â€¢Be an intern: Help out with regularactivities, specialize, or customize a project to meet your academic needs. â€¢Community service:Whether it's court ordered or a school project, Greenways activities can provide the hours you need. Formore detailed information about these or any other volunteer program, contact the GreenwaysVolunteer Coordinator Sally Manifold at 676-6985. Environmental centers are always look- Front/KatieJohnson ing for volunteers'to hel^restofe-'and'preserve wildlife habitat. Minor problems, such as theoveruse of trails can always use, help in maintaining nature's beauty. Greenways and other city workersput a lot of effort into preserving Bellingham's trail systems, but there is a definite shortage of labor whencompared to the monstrous task of taking care of the environment. "There's so many things that need tobe done and the city staff can't do it all," said Skye Heaton, Western health major. Helping with theconservation of our community will benefit ourselves, as well as the environment. Planting, renovatingtrails, controlling weeds and keeping-wildlife records are only a few of the opportunities that awaitvolunteer efforts. For more information about local environmental centers, call City Parks at 647- 6380. ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 11 ---------- June 3. 1997 IMilMlliinlMMMill idLJEmldLiM THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 Learning and growing withenvironment By Todd Wanke The Western Front This spring quarter, some college interns are spendingtheir time away from the lecture halls of Western, and getting back to nature while teaching WhatcomCounty sixth-graders to better understand the environment. The interns, 10 Western and FairhavenCollege students, as well as three Whatcom Community College students have a variety ofbackgrounds and majors, and all provide an experiential learning process for sixth-graders in an area that is unique from anything else during their school year. The program, which is run by WhatcomMiddle School sixth-grade teacher John Horner and former Huxley College student Crina Hoye,encourages nearly 1,000 sixth-graders to learn about their local environment, while exploring solutionsto environmental concerns, Horner said. Horner was the recipient- of the Washington StateEnvironmental Educator Award for 1995. What the program encompasses is a two-day event at theGordon Carter Environmental Education Site at 3800 S. Bay Dr. During the event, each intern teaches a group of about 10 sixth-graders on the concepts of habitat, adaptation and interdependence on dayone, and then dependence, impact and restoration during day two. These concepts are used to identifyand further illustrate the specific habitats of plants and animals the kids might happen to run acrossduring their stay at the site. Western sophomore and prospective geology major -Brady Hanson^says5the internshipris a good opportunity for him to work outdoors and learn valuable teaching skills, as well as opening doors in the future for environmental work. The two-day program for each sixth-grade class,"Gets the kids to think beyond the scope of just recycling and more towards what they can really do toconserve the environment," Hanson said. After the kids complete each portion of their day, they aregiven a bead to use as they wish, Hanson said. Each bead's color represents something in nature, suchas blue for water and green for plants. "These beads give the kids something tangible to hold Front/ToddWanke Some Shuksan Middle School sixth-graders show off their dream-catchers during a visit toGordon Carter Site. They made the dream catchers with the beads they earned. onto after they leave thesite, to get them to think further about what they learned during their stay," Hanson said. "Since ourenvironment is so complex, the goal of this program is to narrow down the focus to specific habitats anddependencies of the' plant and'anlm'at species that are on the site," Hoye said. "We want the kids to see how much we depend on the environment, and by working together with all other living things, they get to see what they can do in order to restore our environment," Hoye said. As for the sixth-graders,"There's a seven week science rotation at the kids' school that gets them ready to come out to the siteand at the same time prepares them for switching classes next year," said Alan Sutliff, a FairhavenMiddle School student teacher. "By the time the kids get to the site they can really understand thehabitats of plants and animals," Sutliff said. "Basically, we're all having a lot of fun coming out to thesite." Besides learning about the environment, the sixth-graders get a feeling of working with oneanother as a community, said intern Sky Fulton. "With the addition of a few more interns than lastyear, we as interns are able to work along with the kids to build the things that will enhance the site as a whole," Fulton said. These things include water observatories and sheltered areas used forexamining and discussing the nearby forests and clear-cut areas that affect the Lake Whatcomwatershed. In a day and age when wooded areas such as this one are being logged for development, it'sspecial to see students utilizing the environment in a positive manner that will benefit Bellinghammiddle- schoolers for years to come, Fulton said. Western sophomore Morgan Schneidler noted thatthis internship is good because it points to a direction that will bring many opportunities for her in thefuture. "The program has helped me get back to the basics of combining learning and playing together toform the dynamics of a group process," Schneidler said. "It's exciting to look at one of the sixth-gradersand visibly notice that he or she has made a connection with nature in a way that somehow helps tobetter understand their place in the world." Whale watching is totally killer By Tammy Sue Clarke TheWestern Front Imagine a beautiful day cruising in the waters of the Puget Sound. The sun is shining,and a light breeze is in the air. As you round one of numerous San Juan Islands you spot something inthe water. You ask yourself, what could that be? At first you think it may be a log. Then the thoughtcrosses your mind that it might actually be a seal. Perhaps, you are hallucinating because of the sea-sickness medicine you took earlier. As you draw closer, you realize it is actually a killer whale. Photocourtesy of The AnimaLife Webpage Instantly, Shamu and "Free Willy" come to mind. Your hopes startto rise as you think of the amazing feats these trained killer whales perform. Would they do anythinglike that in the wild? Just then the animal jumps clear of the water and lands on its back. You are gentlybrought back into reality by the voice of your whale watching guide who informs you that you have justwitnessed a breaching by a killer whale. And then you remember you forgot your camera at home!Orcas (a.k.a. killer whales) are among the fastest swimming marine mammals. They race at speeds upto 30 mph. However, they usually travel at much slower speeds, between two and six mph. The killerwhale is one of the top predators of the ocean, often preying on its own ocean companions, such asminke whales and seals. Killer whales have four typical behaviors: spyhop-ping, hanging vertically inthe water with the head partially above water; breaching, jumping clear of the water and landing onthe back or side; lobtailing, slapping the tail flukes on the surface of the water; and pec-slapping,slapping a pectoral flipper on the surface of the water. Males range from 22- to 27-feet long andfemales are 17- to 24-feet long. The beautiful black, streamlined body of the Orca is equipped with twopectoral fins and a large dorsal fin. Behind the dorsal fin lies a white patch known as the saddle.Researchers identify individual whales with both of these features. Starting in late May through the end of September, Orca whales can be spotted throughout the waters of the Puget Sound and southern BritishColumbia. These waters are home to more than 90 transient orcas. Three pods of Orca whales inhabitthe waters surrounding the San Juan Islands. Pods are groups of killer whales that range in size fromless than five up to 30 individuals. The pods are long-term social units, which consist of males, females and calves. Contrary to popular belief, the killer whale is not an endangered species. However, thesewhales were once hunted and captured. Between 1965 and 1976, 60 whales from the Puget Sound wereremoved or died in captures. Whales aren't the only thing to be seen. Along with the beautiful landscapeof the islands, you see dolphins, porpoises, otters and seals swimming in the deep blue waters.

As your cruise ends, you are thankful for the opportunity to go and see the splendid wildlife that calls the Puget Sound home. You are also thankful you didn't have toput up with any "Moby Dick" or blowhole jokes. Whale watching tours start at $45 per person anddepending on whether your cruise is three hours long or all day, the cost may differ. Cruises also offer off-season and group rates. Killer whales are easily spotted the earlier you go in the season. Mostboats offer hydrophone systems, which enable you to listen to the whale's song while watching them.They also have a "naturalist" on board to answer any questions about killer whales and other wildlife.Be sure to take your camera and binoculars and ask if lunch and drinks will be served on your tour.The Web is a great place to find information on cruises offered in the San Juans and around the world.For those who feel more comfortable on dry land, check out the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor, theSeattle Aquarium or check out virtual whale watching on the Web. ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- ( June 3. 1997 Now a morning paper, every day!

WESTERN FRONT CLASSIFIEDSSELL! 650-3160 Front/Arvid Hokanson Lake Squalicum, off Mount Baker Highway, provides fly-fishingserenity. Flyfishing: Fishermen find an allure to no lures By Arvid Hokanson The Western FrontFishing. To some, it conjures up ideas of an aluminum boat, a cooler full of beer, worms and a couple of overweight guys trying to one-up each other with outlandish stories. On the other hand, some peopleremember Tom Skerritt, Craig Sheffer and Brad Pitt casting flies in "A River Runs Through It." Fly fishingis alive and kicking in Whatcom County. Marc Hulbert, president of the Fourth Corner Fly-Fishers, saidboth forks of the Nooksack River, Lakes Squalicum, Fazon and Padden are all great places to fly fish.Hulbert pointed out that Lake Padden is a great place for beginners, with its easy foot access to thewater, and the fact it is stocked with rainbow and cut-throat trout. But before one can figure out where togo fishing, one must have the proper equipment. Western Junior Aaron Hostetler, an employee ofYeager's Sporting Goods, said a person can start fly fishing for around $100, which includes a rod, reel,line and of course, flies. Another large aspect of fly fishing revolves around the fly itself. With so manyfish to catch, what kind of fly should be used? Hostetler said a good fisherman will catch flies from astream or lake to see what the fish are eating and then try to imitate those flies. "Fisherman that arereally into it will, who know what they want, and what they're after will tie their own flies," Hostetler said.The rod is also another essential fly fishing component. Hostetler said most rods are made fromfiberglass and graphite. The graphite rods have more play and action, allowing the fisherman to better feel the fish biting onto the line, while a fiberglass rod has a stiffer feel and holds up better to wear. When fly fishing, a person must have a state license. Hulbert said there are different licenses depending on whattype of fish someone is angling for. As for the popularity of fly fishing, Hulbert said, "It has becomeincreasingly popular ever since that movie, 'A River Runs Through It' came out." "I have heard, but can'tconfirm, that it (fly fishing) is the fastest growing sport among women," Hulbert said. With theincreasing popularity though, comes strains on fish populations. "Right now there aren't many veryhealthy runs," Hulbert said. Hulbert noted that the Fourth Corner Fly Fishers is a conservation-orientedgroup, who works with the Department of Wildlife and helped in bringing steelhead back to Bear CreekOn the Stillaguamish River. When looking at fly fishing at its most basic level, it is important to realizefly fishing does not just consist of throwing a fly onto the water. "If you're good at it, it is probably the best way to catch fish," Hostetler said. When casting a fly, there is the classic dry-fly technique, whichattempts to create the illusion that a real fly is landing on the water. On the other hand, there is theanother method of throwing a sinking fly to catch a fish's attention. "With fly fishing, you're casting theline and not the lure," Hulbert said. Differences aside, why exactly do people fly fish? Fly fishing requires extensive skills and knowledge. Avid fly fisherman Kevin Majkut pointed out there are all sorts of thingsfly fishermen need to know. Besides the basic technique, a good fisherman will know about howvarious types of plants, weather, water conditions and different bugs affect fishing conditions. " "It's notlike lure fishing, where you buy some bait, your lawn chair and throw your line in the water and wait,"Majkut said. Majkut also pointed out that for people who like lots of equipment, fly fishing equipment isplentiful. "You could go to the fishing store every weekend and spend $200 on various gadgets," Majkutsaid. From a grassroots point of view, fly fishing enables a person to interact with nature. "When you'reout there, outside, especially in the river, you have some connection with nature. There is really not a lotbetween you and nature," Majkut said. Another reason people fly fish stems from how the fish aretreated by the fly. When fly fishing, the fish tend to bite at flies, resulting being hooked near the mouth,as opposed to traditional lure fishing, where a fish may swallow the hook down into their throat and gills."It's much easier to release the fish, without killing them," Majkut said. For more information on flyfishing, both the Internet and Wilson Library provide information on how to get started. ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 13 ---------- June 3. 1997 Mmmmm H â€” I S ! M I Â» I Â» I ^^ m^,$Â®?â„¢â„¢?3Â°â„¢ Washington's ski season is far from over Backcountry skiers are still on the slopes after a record-breaking winter By Riley Morton TheWestern Front Washingtonians were blessed with a wonderful winter this year. Even though June is now upon us, the snow is still stacked high in the Cascades and will continue to be so for much of thesummer. This is the prime time of year for backcountry skiing and snow-boarding. The good weather,long days and relatively stable snowpack make late spring/early summer almost perfect for getting out into the mountains. Backcountry skiing can be a bit complicated. Traditional alpine skis work just like they do in the ski area, but don't allow for an easy ascent. Cross-country skis are nice for touring, butaren't made for descending at any kind of speed. Thus a cross between the two is desired by mostbackcountry skiers. Telemark skiing is experiencing a recent explosion in popularity and justifiablyso. Telemark skis are similar to downhill skis with the main exception being the bindings allow the heelto rise and fall at will, just like crosscountry skis. Telemarkers attach synthetic mohair skis to thebottom of their skis for the ascent, and then peel the skins off to ski down. For skiers who enjoy alpineskiing too much to abandon it entirely, Alpine touring bindings offer a perfect combination of the two.Alpine Touring, also known as ski mountaineering and ran-donee skiing, allows the skier to have areleasable heel for the ascent and then lock the heels down for a ski that performs like a downhill ski.Alpine Touring boots have to act like both climbing boots and ski boots. Some AT bindings even haveattachable crampons for steep climbs. The growing crowd of back-country snowboarders are alsogaining easier backcountry Front/Riley Morton This guy is not a professional snowboarder.Instead, hehas chosen to study industrial design. Senior Zac West rides the powder below Artist Point on the flanksof Table Mountain. access these days with technology. Riders who are tired of using clumsysnowshoes all the time now have the option of using the Voile Split Decision snowboard. The SplitDecision actually splits in half, forming two short, wide skis; the bindings rotate allowing thesnowboarder to ski up the hill with skins and then reattach the board and rotate the bindings.Unfortunately, this isn't the only technology you'll need when you head to the hills. Avalanchetransceivers, snow shovels and snow probes, as well as the knowledge of how to use them, are requiredequipment for just about any backcountry trip. The Washington Cascades offer too many backcountryskiing locales to mention here. But here are a few of my favorites: Artist Point/Table Mountain: Theclosest worthwhile back-country skiing happens to be right next to the Mount Baker ski area at ArtistPoint. If you park at the far end of the upper parking lot you are sure to notice the wide cat track heading straight into the great wide open. Keeping .right along the cat tracks one will reach the flat spot alongthe ridge that is Artist Point Front/ Riley Morton Seven powder connoisseurs head towards Artist Point on an Outdoor Center Excursion. in about an hour. At this point, the ski down into the Bagley Lakes Basinis nice, but the ridge to the right will bring you to the top of Table mountain. Dropping off the south sideof Table into the Swift Creek Valley is quite a ride, but skiing back toward the ski area is fun too, andyou don't have to hike out. Ruth Mountain: At 7,100 feet, the summit of Mount Ruth is a great challenge for the intermediate ski mountaineer. Located just northeast of Mount Shuksan, the slopes of Ruthare casually graded, allowing for a nice, mellow climb and ski. Some parties will want to ski roped upbecause of the small, but active glacier on the route. Route descriptions are available in both Beckey'sand Potterfield's guidebooks. Heather Ridge: If you've spend any amount of time skiing at Steven'sPass, chances are you've longed to ski the fresh lines on the ridge north of Highway 2. Heather Ridge(also called Skyline Ridge) is one of the most widely accessible back-country ski locations inWashington; as such, it can get a little crowded on weekends with good weather. However, HeatherRidge is almost as good on bad weather days because almost the whole ridge is covered with treesmake-ing it a prime location for skiing in the fog. The visibility is manageable here even in the mostsketchy conditions. Mount Rainier: Mazama Ridge and Muir Snowfield: The place where this writer made his first turns into the backcountry, Mazama Ridge, right above Paradise on Mount Rainier, offersexcellent non-glaciated turns for skiers of every level. Before the idea of chairlifts had ever been exploredin America, skiers were carving their way down the Muir Snowfield. Paradise was the ski hangout inWashington from the 1930s to the 1950s. To access the goods at Mazama Ridge, simply drive toParadise and start hiking. Numerous lines are available but don't travel too far west, or you'll find yourself on a dangerous descent onto the Nisqually Glacier. Mount Adams, southside route: Beginningclimbers have found the south side of Mount Adams to be a very friendly place. It is the only majorvolcano in the Cascades with an unglaciated route on it. This makes it even better for back-countryskiers. The 7,000 foot vertical drop this route affords is incomparable to anything in the region. Altitudecan present a problem, though. At 12,000 feet, Mount Adams is high enough to make even experienced climbers get altitude sickness. The smile will persist even through the mild headache and nausea thatthe altitude may provide because the skiing is absolutely epic. Mount St. Helens: A good warm up for abigger peak or a ski in and of itself, Mount St. Helens offers consistent and long turns down the 4,000foot south side. One can climb all the way to the 17-year-old summit and peer over the edge at the lavadome in the crater. Be very careful if you do though, because the walls of the crater are super-steep.Permits to climb are required through the summer, so plan ahead on this classic ski. Hurricane Ridge:The best place for backcountry skiing on the Olympic Peninsula, Hurricane Ridge is a good spot forbeginning backcountry skiing. The view of Victoria will turn your head as you try to concentrate onthe wet snow of the Peninsula. Many different slopes are available to play around on, but there is notmuch vertical to have long, continuous runs. With all these options close by, there is no excuse not totry a little backcountry skiing or snow-boarding this summer and live up to every skier/snowboardersdream of making turns every month of the'year. ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 14 ---------- X4* T H E \ ^ E S T E R N F R O N T J SwfijyfcifciQU June 3. 1997 wmmmmmmmmmmmm Take a crashcourse in rock climbing By Lucy Kee The Western Front As the school year draws to a close and thedays gradually get warmer, this is the perfect time to learn a new sport. What better sport to try outthan rock climbing? For beginners, it is usually recommended one begins climbing in an indoorclimbing facility, many advantages are gained indoors; the holds are more defined and visible, and thenovice climber is in a contained area that is protected and less exposed. Indoors, climbers don't have toworry about the dangers of falling rocks or breaking holds off the wall.

Mount Erie is located near Anacortes, Wash, and provides several good routes of low grade, which makes it the perfect cragto take beginners.

Does fan support follow favorites As I looked atthe Shawn.Kemp poster on my wall, a disturbing question entered my mind. If Shawn wasn't adorned inSonic green and gold, would the poster still be on my wall? As I surveyed the rest of the room, I sawimages of Mariners, Seahawks (OK, no Seahawks but just play along) and Thunderbirds. What is sospecial about these particular athletes that they receive the honor of covering my walls? It is a dilemmafast approaching every sports fan. Why do we pull for the players on our favorite team? Is it becausewe can associate with their personalities? Because they represent our community? Or is it becausethey are wearing the right color-scheme next to picture of the Space Needle? In essence, who are wereally rooting for â€” the players or the teams? As Seattle sports fans, we in particular must prepareourselves to deal with this dilemma. When the Seahawks move to Los Angeles, adopt the colors tealand black and decide to call themselves the Earthquakes, will we still admire their quest to play .500football, or will we merely laugh at their ineptitude? When Shawn Kemp is traded away because heneeds more funds to continue his ongoing and expensive project to raise the roof, how will we, as Sonics fans, react? Will we support him in his efforts to raise the roof in another city, or will we realize we havebeen missing out on one of the most enjoyable guys to hate in the NBA? How would you react if theplayer you most despised was traded to your team? What about two or three players you didn't like?What if, through the miracle of free agency, the whole team you had grown up loving was transformed into a bunch of characters you had spent your whole life rooting against? Maybe ways around the dilemmaexist. We could form a fantasy team of players we most relate to, and have them compete with ourfriends' fantasy teams. The problem with this idea is that it is stupid, and people would make fun of us.We would also lose the thrill of following a team through its ups and downs. In the years ahead, morefans will have to face this dilemma. If we devotedly cling to our teams, we must let go of logic. We mustdeal with the sad fact that we are really only rooting for uniforms. On the other hand, by worshippingindividual players, we lose the true meaning of team sports. It will not be an easy thing for sports fans to deal with. But that is why it is a dilemma. Perhaps the key to enjoying sports is finding a happymedium. Maybe we can support our favorite team in an athletic sense and look for personal fulfillment inthe players we most readily identify with. Or maybe the key is gambling. Cranky Kemp's priorities arecosting more than just dollars Everyone knew the announcement was coming. Everyone knew he wasunhappy with his contract. Why then, was everyone so shocked when Shawn Kemp announced hewanted to be traded? It is rare in professional basketball for a player on a championship-caliber team toactively seek a trade. Kemp's desire to move has little to do with the team itself, and everything to dowith his search for the almighty dollar. In making his intentions known, Kemp is essentially sayingmoney means more to him than the game. It is likely the only teams that would be able to afford a player such as Kemp would be those teams who are in no position to win a championship anytime soon. Wewould all like to believe professional basketball players love of the game is greater than their greed.They negotiate for their astronomical salaries because teams are willing to pay them. However, if thosesalaries did not exist, basketball players would still show up and play because after all, it's not about themoney, right? It is for this reason, Kemp's announcement is like a slap in the face. The poor kid fromIndiana who was drafted out of high school has shown every sports fan why he plays basketball. For him, it is all about the bottom line. This is the attitude Kemp played with all year, and it was all too evident.From holding out during training camp, saying he needed time for "renewal," to being late for practices and not showing up for team meetings, Kemp allowed everyone to see just how unimportant the game of basketball really is to him. George Karl said he has no intention of trading Kemp and would like tohave a face-to-face meeting with his sulky superstar. However, Kemp, who is seeking a suitable forum in which he can be interviewed, would rather air his litany of complaints for a national audience. Iwould agree that, comparatively speaking, Kemp is underpaid. I can understand and sympathize withhis dissatisfaction that other players, such as Jim Mcllvaine, are making more money than him to warmthe bench. However, what I cannot comprehend is how Kemp thinks his attitude is going to compelothers to want to help him. Even after all of the temper tantrums and the otherwise childish behavior, Iwould like to see Kemp kiss and make up with the Sonics so he can stay in Seattle. But I do not wantto see it happen at the expense of the entire team. If Kemp is to stay, he needs to prove he is an athleteand move basketball to the top of his list of priorities. Maybe while he is in Indiana during the off-season, Kemp will visit some of the places where he used to play when he did it for the sheer love of thesport. Perhaps he will remember what basketball was like when he was an athlete, rather than agluttonous, multi-million dollar sports franchise. ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 15 ---------- June 3. 1997 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 wmmmmmmmmmmimmmmmmmmmmmm.

You're on 'Death TV COMMENTARY Driving to Seattleone afternoon, the traffic went from a brisk, effective pace to a standstill. As the vehicles crawled by, thereason for the hold-up came into view: an automobile accident involving several cars surrounded by police cars and emergency vehicles. The trouble is, the accident was on the northbound freeway, and thetraffic surrounding me had slowed down to observe, the drivers craning their necks in hopes of seeingblood. Anyone who drives is guilty of this, but perhaps guilty is too strong a word for something thatseems to be such an integral part of human nature. The lure of death is difficult to understand â€” weboth fear it and are fascinated by it. But it is elusive and rarely seen, so when it rears its ugly head we do the same in hopes of catching a glimpse. Curiosity killed the cat, but that one dead cat only evokesmore curious felines. We may not want to look, but we do so in spite of ourselves. The folks who run thetelevision shows know a sure thing when they see it. But now rather than glimpsing- death for a fewfleeting seconds, we can stare at it for a half hour as it pulsates on the screen. One part "America'sFunniest Home Videos" and one part "Faces of Death," these new television specials disguisethemselves as documentary-like "real" television but merely use the filmed misfortunes of others to getratings. The footage comes from home video and police or security cameras, and shows people gettingshot, getting hit by cars and getting mauled by animals. Then they're given dramatic titles such as"When Animals Attack" or "The World's Scariest Police Chases II" and shown on commercial televisionin order to sell beer and cosmetics. Human life isn't sacred anymore, so why should death be? At leasthuman death is turning a profit for someone. We've gone from cheesy re-creations of actual events tocheesy marketing of the events themselves. Why watch an actor get shot with blanks from a prop pistolwhen you can watch a jewelry store owner get shot with a real gun from close range? Isn't it that muchmore fascinating when you know it's the real thing? Perched like a fly on the wall, our security-cameraviewpoint removes us from danger, from the responsibility of getting involved and subsequently from our own humanity. Rather than going to a coliseum to watch Christians get mauled by lions, we can now doit from the safety and comfort of our living rooms while gorging ourselves on the products they sell us inbetween. We can only hope that when it is our time to die, it will be in our sleep and not in somespectacular fashion that makes for good television. But for now, we are left to wonder if after we'regone, people we've never met before will be able watch our death over and over again in syndication. Thenext time you watch it. happen to someone else, question if that's how you'd like to be rememberedâ€” not with a eulogy by friends, but as entertainment for strangers. Court says president can be suedPast presidents have found time to appear in court Even President Clinton has a private life. Before heclimbed to the office of president of the United States, it is very possible he gathered a few skeletons inhis political closet that involved his private actions. One of these skeletons is in the form of PaulaJones. She is accusing Clinton of, among other things, causing emotional distress and defamation ofher character resulting from an alleged 1991 rendezvous at an Arkansas hotel. Jones now wants to sueClinton on these charges, but Clinton claims that as president, he is immune to lawsuits until after histerm has expired. The U.S. Supreme Court decision passed down last week says she can. Yes, he isour president. Yes, he has a unique job. He is the commander of the most powerful nation in the world,and it is in the public interest that he devote his time to his duties. But he is not above the law where his private life is concerned. Clinton has protection from lawsuits, but only lawsuits that involve his official capacity as president. This allows him to exercise his duties to the fullest without worrying that hisactions may publicly bring him personal liability. All officials have this privilege. However, nothing Jonesis accusing him of is part of his official capacity, so the protection should not extend to him. Also, the'Court must recognize her rights under the Constitution and provide a timely trial. The Supreme Courtnoted in its decision that a prolonged delay "may create a significant risk of irreparable harm to (Jones)because of an unforeseeable loss of evidence or the possible death of a party." This doesn't mean thatClinton will need to drop everything important to the nation. The Supreme Court recognized thatrequiring the president to appear at a specific time and place would violate the principle of separationof powers and severely burden the executive branch. The Supreme Court also decided that providingevidence and videotaped testimony will not harm Clinton's performance in office. The Court came tothis decision on the basis that other presidents have provided testimony with no ill effects to thenation. Of the last five former presidents, Nixon provided tapes, Ford gave a deposition for a criminal trialand Carter gave videotaped testimony for a criminal trial. Even Clinton has twice provided videotapedtestimony for the trial of a former associate, James McDougal. Former presidents have also hadprivate lawsuits filed against them while in office. The most notable example was President Kennedy,who was sued while campaigning for the nation's highest office, and the matter was not settled until after he was elected. Kennedy contended that he was protected from private lawsuits, but the courts didnot support his claim, so he settled out of court. This decision will not open a floodgate of nasty, anti-Clinton lawsuits either. The Supreme Court stated in its decision that most frivolous lawsuits will beterminated before Clinton or any other president would become involved. It is in the best interests of thenation that Clinton devote his maximum amount of time to his office, but it is also in the public interestthat these charges be answered before his term expires to quell public anger. If he is innocent, then heshould clear up this lawsuit as quickly as possible and continue with business as usual. It should takeno more time than the campaign fundraisers that occasionally occupy his busy schedule. Dangerousprecedent set for future nuisance suits The president of the United States heads the most powerful nation in the world. When vested with the power to head one of the three branches of our government, overseeall diplomatic affairs and, among other things, nominate Supreme Court justices, our presidentshould not be burdened with civil lawsuits arising from alleged acts committed before assuming thepresidency. But last week, the Supreme Court unanimously rejected President Clinton's appeal todelay proceedings of a suit against him until after his term of office expires. This is the first time alawsuit against a sitting president for conduct unrelated to his official duties may go to trial. Thepresident is a regular citizen of this county, required to abide by the law just like you and me. No matterhow powerful the president is, justice should always served. The question at hand though is when?.People wonder why, if the president has time to raise campaign funds and play golf, he can't take thetime to go through a trial. To put things in perspective, if we as students can afford to spend anafternoon at Boulevard Park, why can't we add another four credits to our schedules? In the case ofPaula Jones versus William Jefferson Clinton, the president is charged with sexually harassing Jones in1991. He is accused of asking Jones to come to his hotel room where, after entering the room, Jonesalleges that the then-governor made both verbal and physical sexual advances toward her, including arequest to perform oral sex after exposing himself. The status of the president while in office is a pivotalissue. This is why Clinton asked the Supreme Court to grant him immunity from trial until after he leavesthe Oval Office in 2001. The precedent now stands that we can burden our already over-burdenedpresident with the politics of a personal lawsuit. What good can this lead to? In the case of Jonesversus Clinton, the lawsuit stinks of political manipulation from Clinton's conservative critics. Joneschose to file the lawsuit three years after the incident allegedly occurred. If she was so traumatized byClinton's actions, why didn't she take immediate action? As part of her political game, the religiousright has been helping to fuel Jones's legal defense fund. Why has she now gone on various televisionprograms, including appearances with Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, to continue theembellishment of her story? The personal life of the president should not interfere with our nationalinterests, especially when the matter involves frivolous, politically motivated lawsuits. Pamela Karlan,a University of Virginia law professor, warned against the Supreme Court justices saying that the validityof Jones' allegations is irrelevant. "If you announce that the president can be called into court, peoplewill call him into court," she said in an interview with ABC News. "It's a copycat phenomenon,because publicity about certain kinds of things tends to bring people out of the woodwork who wantto bring similar cases." The president, who has been working to expand NATO eastward and forge anagreement on a balanced budget, should be able to work on these and other pressing issues withoutunnecessary interruption. And a case involving the leader of the free world, a media circus and six-year-old allegations should be able to wait another four years. i ---------- Western Front - 1997 June 3 - Page 17 ---------- DEAD or ALIVE DSED BOORS CASH REWARD OFFERED Bring 'em down t o . . .

Students expect not to receive last minute assignments, tests or ear-shattering commotionfrom the Haggard Hall/Wilson Library remodeling project. Since Western blatantly ignores the first twoexpectations, why should the third be any different? The countdown to finals is stressful enough. Itbecomes even more stressful when construction workers make as much noise as humanly possibleduring classes. Last Thursday, I was sitting in the College Hall computer lab with numerous otherstressed-out students frantically writing papers. Outside the building, an overzealous construction workerwas smashing windows with a large metal wand. My first instinct was to step outside the building and tellthe worker just where he could stick the large metal wand. As if this were not enough, the worker yelledat the top of his lungs, "Hey, watch this one," followed by another loud crash. I'm not sure if he realizedhis actions were not as impressive to students as it may have been to his construction cronies. Iunderstand the construction company is on a schedule, they actually finished the Science Lecture Hallsin impressive time. All I'm saying is a little courtesy would help at times when students are working inclassrooms. The window-breaking extravaganza is probably something that could wait until afterclasses are out. Don't get me wrong â€” I'm not blaming the construction company completely. Afterall, they do have a job to do. I blame Western. One would think Western would give a little moreconsideration to the students who are paying to learn during this construction garbage. But, we have torespect the master plan and just put up with this crap. Maybe I'm a little bitter because other studentsand I are being forced to deal with this unbearable noise so the class of 2002 can enjoy a worthless skybridge jutting out from the library. Now that is spending university money wisely. I realize that for Western to actually listen to the concerns of students is a stretch, but if not for those at Western now, consider those in the future. We have all seen the master plan â€” it is only going to get worse from now on. InWestern's quest to become the University of Washington, it is alienating the alumni who would support itin the future. â€” Kristin Darland, Sports editor The Western Front Editor: Lisa L.

It is full of snippy, useless "reports" that may get a person interested in a story but normallydoes not fill their curiosity. It gives a person 20 seconds to grasp an event and then moves on to the next item. No rewind. No review. No contemplation. If something grabs your attention, you can't just stopand re-read it to marvel at this new knowledge you have found. Compare the average television newspiece to an article in a respected daily paper. The "piece" starts with a quick introduction to grab theviewer's attention, then moves into the event. When a reporter has about 20 seconds of air time to fill in a story, the majority of the story (background, other related issues, etc.) isn't, given the time and spacedeserved. An average article is full of information. It is concrete, right there in your face. If you don'tunderstand something, you can read it again. You have the information concerning an issue right there in front of your face. No questions asked, no confusion. You won't have to ask, "What was that? Howmany people were there? What did he just say?" It is easy to see, plain and simple. Television newsdoesn't give its viewers the opportunity to choose what news is important to them. They have an agenda, a timeline and everything moves forward according to plan. They decide how much time of your lifeshould be dedicated to a story. They have to fit in commercials and puff pieces. While print journalists face this decision also, it is not based on their intended audiences attention span. Instead, it is on theirinterest. An article begins with the most important information first so a reader may decide if they wishto continue, and if the article is of no interest, they can move to something else in that page, or inanother section. On television, the evening news must keep a viewer's attention, or they may changethe channel. They want to keep you moving along with the stories so you don't get bored, which meansless information. Think back a few years. If you are from Seattle, you might remember a certain littleearthquake. Or you might not. It was pretty small, but you couldn't tell by the news coverage itreceived. There was more animosity from the average citizen towards the television stations then therewas for just having lived through an earthquake. The size was around 3.0 on the Richter Scale, withminimal damage and a few injuries â€” something that might frighten some people. It'sunderstandable to interrupt prime-time television with a report about it for a minute or two. Instead, localstations ran more than an hour of coverage on the quake as if it were the "Big One," interrupting theseason finale of "Seinfeld" â€” NOT a good idea. They interviewed people who all gave the same story:their house shook, they were scared and if the reporter got lucky, someone's dog had a revelation a fewminutes before the event. Television news broadcasting doesn't always follow through on its claims of"hard news fast." Information is few and far between. It may be good for those on the go, but the averagedaily paper has many more stories with greater detail than any nightly news program. So if you reallywant the news and have some time, pick up a newspaper. A half hour of reading can be moreinformative than watching a half hour of irrelevant tid-bits in the life and times of the televised world.^^^^^^^ffl: l f Â§ | j ^ ^ to 250 words on a n y : t o p i c r : \ ^ ' r e ^ ^ | ; ^ ^ ^ | | ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ l l^ l i l i i h l ^ ' ^ d libelous content.

Absolutely no increase in sales, property, or general taxes The new stadium andexhibition center will be owned by the people, and built by a strong public/private partnership thatincludes substantial private investment. Bottom line: for the most part, those who choose to attendevents at the stadium and exhibition center, those who play the lottery, and visitors to King County willpay for it. At the same time, the project will have absolutely no negative impact on Washington Stateschools, roads, or public safety. Here's how the funding works... A $100 million in private investment,guaranteed by Paul Allen A Allen's personal guarantee that he will pay for any construction costoverruns A New, sports-related lottery games A State-approved sales tax credits and deferrals A Anextension (but not an increase) of King County's hotel/motel tax (paid primarily by tourists) A Facilityadmission and parking fees In the end, these revenues will actually exceed the full amount required to build the new stadium and exhibition center. Extra revenues will provide assurance that state generalfunds will not be used. After this, excess revenues will be directed to the construction and maintenanceof youth play fields across the state. A world-class facility the whole state can enjoy Compared to theKingdome, the new stadium and exhibition center will be a vast improvement in co fort, convenience,and accessibility for all members of our state's diverse communitiesâ€” and it will bring many newevents to Washington fans. The new indoor exhibition center will be home to the boat show, the homeshow, the auto show, and many other events. The open-air stadium will feature natural grass, and 70%of the spectators will be covered. State-of-the- art amenities will include: A 1,440 seats for the disabled(including companions) compared to 70 at the Kingdome A Wider concourses A 12 elevatorscompared to 3 now at the Kingdome A Nearly twice the restroom facility capacity as the Kingdome A 50% more space for exhibitions than the Kingdome Among the exciting events the facility is designed to host...professional and amateur soccer...the World Cup ...the Olympics...professional and collegefootball...trade shows...community festivals...and much more. AERIAL VIEW, SHOWING NEWSTADIUM, NEW INDOOR EXHIBITION CENTER, AND BASEBALL PARK. Remember the day theKingdome roof fell in? That disaster left property taxpayers with a $70 million hangover. This adds up to$5 million a year in property tax debt for which our taxpayers receive no services. In fact, the Kingdomehas cost taxpayers more in the last 2i/2 years for repairs than the original construction costs...andnow $42 million more is needed for basic repairs. In short, the Kingdome is an aging facility that willcontinue to need more repairs, more attention, and more tax dollars if we don't replace it. The goodnews? The funding package for the new stadium and exhibition center will retire all Kingdome debt, andfree the property taxes for better purposes. Furthermore, the Seahawks will lease the new stadium for20 years. If the team is sold, the lease will stay in effect and 10% of the proceeds of the sale will godirectly to the State of Washington. On June 17, Vote "Yes" on Ref. #48 You can have the final sayFrom the beginning, that has been the underlying principle of the new football/soccer stadium andexhibition center: a partnership...where you have the final say. Should we move forward, the newstadium will be a valuable assetâ€” bringing our communities together and benefitting Washingtonfamilies for years to come. But now we need you on our team.

"This is not Jesse Jackson's campaign, i t ' s the people's campaign," Jackson said in opening his speech to more than one hundred students at the VikingUnion. The younger Jackson, 22, finished his college degree in fewer than four years in order to devote time to his father's campaign. Much of Jackson's speech addressed the importance of education."We know that schools at their worst are better than jails at their best," Jackson said, citing 91 percentof inmates in Texas jails are high school dropouts. Brains instead of bombs was his messageconcerning military spending versus investment in education. "America's strongest defense is not inguided missiles, but in developed minds, he said." Jackson demanded students fulfill their responsibilityto society and their generation. "The generations of the '50s, '60s and '70s fought to end the VietnamWar and to gain civil rights. But the generation of the '80s, our generation, must fight to end economicviolence," he said, criticizing the economic conditions brought about by Reagan administration taxpolicies, which he said favor the rich and violate the poor. See JACKSON on p.3 Man arrested in Kappashooting Pete Kendall Bellingham Police Explorer scouts searched the area around the Ridgewaycomplex for the gun allegedly used to shoot Western student Gene Baker as he delivered newspapersSaturday. By Brian Bean and Douglas Buell staff editors Bellingham police officers arrested a 20-year-old Bellingham man Saturday after he allegedly shot a Western student who was deliveringnewspapers to Ridgeway Kappa Theta. Michael J. Bilson, 20, 1418 Ellis St., is scheduled to bearraigned at 4 p.m. today in Whatcom County Superior Court. He is being held in the county jail on$150,000 bail. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Dan Gibson said he plans to charge Bilson with first-degree assault, vehicle prowl and third-degree theft. "I anticipate we'll file them by sometime (today)," he said. The felony assault charge carries a penalty of five to seven years. The victim, Gene Baker, 22,810 Buchanan Towers, was treated at St. Luke's Hospital after being shot twice. He was releasedSunday morning. Police said Baker, an engineering technology student, and his girlfriend, Anita Poor,19, 386 Higginson Hall, were delivering the Seattle Post- Intelligencer in Kappa Theta at about 4 a.m.Upon returning to his 1980 Mazda B-2000 pickup, which was parked on Highland Drive in front of thehall, Baker discovered the driver's door open and his keys, check book and driver's license missing. Hesaid he noticed a man, whom he earlier had passed hitchhiking on West College Way, walking northdown Highland Drive. The man allegedly was tearing out pages from what looked like Baker's checkbook and throwing them over his shoulder. Baker said he ran after the man and confronted him about 40 yards from the truck. The man allegedly turned and fired twice at Baker with a small-caliber handgun.Bellingham Police Sgt. Randy Carroll said the first bullet passed through Baker's right arm just abovethe elbow. The second entered the back of his left shoulder and lodged in his chest, missing all vitalorgans. Doctors removed the bullet Saturday morning. The man fled north on Highland Drive after theshooting, Carroll said. Police arrested Bilson near the corner of Garden and Holly streets at about4:45 a.m. Saturday. Bellingham Police Explorer Cadets found the gun, a 45- caliber automatic, whichallegedly was used in the shooting and a black nylon coat in a garbage can at 600 E. Maple St. atabout 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Carroll said Baker and Poor ran back to Kappa Theta after the shooting tofind help. Paper carriers are allowed residence hall keys to deliver after hours. Attempts, however, to use the duty phone in the main lounge were unsuccessful, so Baker ran to the nearest dorm room. Poorcontinued to try to contact police on the phone. "He pounded on our door at about 4 (a.m.)," said ScottWilson, 19, a Kappa Theta resident. "We were both asleep. It sounded like he was going to knock the door right off. "We keep our door unlocked, and he managed to find his way in," Wilson added. "HeSee SHOOTING on p.4 Hunthausen pleads for peace, end to arms race Jesse Tinsley ArchbishopHunthausen emphasized peace Sunday in the Viking Union. By Jennifer Wynn staff reporter Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen pleaded with more than 500 people Sunday in the Viking Union Lounge to helpchange America's mindset from one of nuclear arms idolatry to peace. "I would propose that we as apeople and a nation forego our present policy of military deterrence and mutually assured destruction,and in its place, pursue with all our resources a national vision and policy of peace," Hunthausen said.Hunthausen, archbishop of the Seattle Catholic Archdiocese and primary leader of the church in westernWashington, received tumultuous applause from supporters who praised his message of hope.Bellingham resident Alberta Clancy said, "I consider him a prophet in his time." Fairhaven senior LetritiaFlerchinger said she was touched by Hunthausen's speech. "I wanted to cry. I was really impressedwith him (Hunthausen). Some friends of mine told me to come see him. I didn't know much about him. Ireally liked his look on things from a world view," she said. Hunthausen delivered a lecture entitled"Economic Pastoral in Light of the Pastoral on Peace." Pastorals are documents prepared by the some300 bishops in the United States. The pastorals advocate the end of the nuclear arms race and promotean increased effort to help the poor. The nationally known archbishop, referring to the INF nucleararms treaty, said although the new treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union is a steptoward peace, it is marred by excessive U.S. military spending. "This new generation of weaponscomes with an enormous price tag. Those who pay the highest cost have little or no voice in thedebate," he said, referring to the poor. He added, "While defense spending increases, the welfareprograms that most affect the poor are being cut approximately in half." The 1988 defense budget is aproposed $322 billion, he said. Furthermore, the United States has spent $1.9 trillion on armaments inthe past seven years. These figures have created an economy that is becoming more and more captive to military spending, he said. Many areas of the country depend on military spending for economic well-being, which reinforces the American ideal of peace through strength, Hunthausen said. "We havecreated a growing, vested interest in maintaining high military budgets," he said. "This leads to highmilitary spending, a movement, which is increasingly difficult to slow. Hunthausen said continuedmilitary development has fostered a deeply embedded See HUNTHAUSEN onp.2 ---------- Western Front - 1988 March 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 8,1988 ;ilsiiiiiiii Parking tags can be renewed Quarterlyparking permits may be renewed for spring through March 11.

Accounting students give income taxhelp By Michael Reeves Hunthausen favors aid for poor HUNTHAUSEN, from p. 1 philosophy that seesmilitary action as a primary tool of international relations. It has become a normalcy, which isjustified by the United States' deterrence policy, he said. ' Hunthausen explained in his quiet mannerthat history harbors this philosophy. "Our history books are full of the wars of Louis XIV and Napoleon,"he said, "yet they say little about the Swiss who have watched all those empires crumple in their turn."We share in the process of shaping the universal vision of peace ... Only by getting directly andpersonally involved can we begin to shape a peaceful future." Hunthausen's half-hour lecture wasfollowed by comments from other speakers. Jennifer Cowan, a member of the Catholic Student Coalition, said, "We all have a stake in (the world community). We all can make a difference." staff reporterMembers of Western's Accounting Society and other university accounting students are taking partin a yearly Internal Revenue Service program, which offers tax assistance to Whatcom County residents. The program, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA), offers free assistance in preparation of taxreturns and gives answers to general tax questions for anyone needing help. "We're servicing the lowincome, the handicapped, the non- English speaking people and those people who don't haveaccess to funds or access to preparers that can do their taxes for them, or don't understand thetaxes," said Bill Sutton, local representative of the IRS District Director. "We want to see that thosepeople try to get an understanding of how to prepare their returns so next year they won't come back,"Sutton said. "If they do come back we won't turn them away, but we'd like them to do it themselves."Volunteers for the VITA program had to qualify by preparing sample returns for the IRS tax forms1040EZ and 1040A with at least 70-percent accuracy. Students involved in the program receive nocredit or monetary compensation for their work, Sutton said. It is voluntary. "The students get somebenefit for their classes and their grades," he said. "On the other hand, I think, the citizens of the county and surrounding area get . more of a benefit. The IRS gets a great benefit too." Involvement in VITA isnot limited to -Western students. Training classes were offered to anyone who was interested involunteering. Most volunteers are Western business students with some experience in tax preparationor accounting, however. "If it wasn't for the students at Western, we probably wouldn't have a successfulVITA program," Sutton said. Assistance is available now until April 15 at five locations. On campus,help is available between 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays in the lobby of the Viking Union (exceptMarch 16 and 23).

Jackson Jesse Tinsley JonathonJackson was in town Saturday to stump for his father, presidential candidate Jesse Jackson.JACKSON, from p. 1 He said Reagan got into office on a kind of "dyslexia." "He said the poor had toomuch money and the rich, too little. He became a reverse Robin Hood," Jackson said. Jackson alsochided recent tax laws that demand students pay taxes on their financial aid. Jackson said othercandidates seek to make America competitive by lowering workers wages, but that Jesse Jacksonwould strive to make America competitive by raising the wages of the third world. "Slave laboranywhere undercuts organized labor everywhere. South Korean, Taiwanese, and South Africanlaborers do not have the right to organize.They do not have the right to a liveable wage; they do not havethe right to safety and health in their work environment. They do not take our jobs from us; ourcorporations take our jobs to them," he said. Jackson challenged students to reject drugs and criticized Reagan's cutting of the Coast Guard, the drug enforcement agency off the southern coast, where majordrug shipments are received. At the Fairhaven Library speech, the young Jackson criticized the press for ignoring the "Our campaign is a rainbow and that's what our thrust has been all along." â€”Jonathan Jackson success of his father's campaign. The audience of more than 150 Jackson supporters, whichfilled the library hall, responded by demanding the whereabouts of the local press. Apparently, the major Bellingham media representatives were not present. Jackson's son spoke in Seattle and receivedsome, attention by the press and TV media there. The Fairhaven speech was followed by aDemocratic Caucus training session. When asked about opinions by many voters that his father is"unelectable," he said racism as a campaign issue has weakened. "People like bold leadership and anew direction," he said. Jesse Jackson took second in Minnesota, Vermont and Maine, which arepredominately white states. "Our campaign is a rainbow and that's what our thrust has been all along,"he said. "To say he's unelectable is not fair. There are many candidates that are unelectable, but it's not Jackson. We have great national support, the primaries and caucuses so far have proven that. Thepeople will determine who is electable. We're out to make a difference." f jjexiSmoJte if Â° lt;*â€¢TOBACCOS â€¢ PIPES â€¢ CIGARS COME IN AND SAY HELLO! OWNER: DENNIS CLIETTHOURS: 10 AM TO 6 PM 7DAYSAWEEK 1200 HARRIS ST.

Chestnut 733-6440 ---------- Western Front - 1988 March 8 - Page 4 ---------- 4 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, MARCH 8, Shooting triggers new look at gun issue By Michael Reeves staff reporter Western's campus has its share of guns, but they are not in the possession of theUniversity Police. Saturday's shooting of a student delivering papers on campus has confirmed someopinions in the campus population that the police here should be armed. And it has caused others toreevaluate their position on the issue. John Gray, Associated Students director at-large to theUniversity Services Council, said because of the incident, emotions possibly could dictate some of the resulting actions. Gray previously has represented factions opposed to arming University Police. Gray,despite not changing his personal stand on the gun issue, said the shooting has caused him genuineconcern about the whole issue. "I'm torn, I really am. I'm torn between the safety of the police force andthe safety of the students," said Gray. "I'm concerned with the increased chance of hurting someone." The shooting of a student Saturday morning illuminated the presence of handguns on Western's campusand brought the dangers they pose startlingly close to home. A nearly split student vote, a 12-9 FacultySenate vote - each opposed to arming University Police -- and a canceled March 3 Board of Trustees votelater, this article analyzes the effect the shooting has had on public opinion. University Police haveremained steadfast in stressing their need to have guns, and the weekend shooting only strenthenedthat need, said one officer. University Police Lt. Chuck Page, brief in his words, said, "I think it's better for us to keep our mouths shut at this time. I think the action speaks louder than words." The shooting was not the first gun-related incident police have contended with on campus this quarter. On Feb. 11, a man, found to be in possession of an illegally concealed handgun, had been spending nights in theHumanities Building. The man ignored authorities, who warned him to stay off campus, and he later wasserved a misdemeanor warrant for criminal tresspass for failure to comply. Early Saturday morning, Jan.30, University Police responded to a complaint in Alert students help gunshot victim SHOOTING, fromp. 1 didn't look too good. He didn't collapse, but he was kind of slumped against the door." Wilson got out of bed and turned on the lights. "He was yelling, 'I got shot! I got shot!"' Wilson said. "I turned on the lights and there was blood all around. I called 911 and Bob (Diem, his roommate) grabbed a pair ofpants and went to find the RA." Gina Leonetti, an 18-year-old freshman who lives next door to Wilsonand Diem, was in the downstairs laundry room when she heard Baker pounding on the door. When shewent upstairs, she said Wilson was on the phone to the police. - "There was a pool of blood (inWilson's room)," she said. "I just thought, 'My God, what happened?'" Leonetti and Mari Douvier, aKappa Theta resident adviser, performed first aid on Baker until paramedics arrived. Wilson saidUniversity Police officers arrived about two minutes after he called. Kappa Theta Resident DirectorTina Fuchs commended all the students involved for quickly calling police and using first aid. "They were incredible. They did all the right things." Birnam Wood to investigate allegations that students attendinga party had handguns in their possession. University Police Lt. Lee Brown said officers encountered no guns. Saturday's shooting could raise new questions among the Western Board of Trustees, thegoverning body who will decide whether University Police should be issued handguns. The March 3trustees meeting where the final decision on the gun issue is expected to have been made wascanceled. "The incident is something that everyone is going to have to take into consideration. Itbrings to light the possibilities (of gun-related campus crimes)," said Belling-ham Police Sgt. RandyCarroll. "I just hope everybody understands the gravity of the situation," Carroll said. "A shooting issomething that's not taken lightly. It was one of the students and that's really unfortunate." In a Feb.25 special election, only four votes separated the opponents from the supporters of the policy to armcampus police officers. Of the 1,072 students who voted, 538, or 50.2 percent, opposed arming thepolice, while 534, or 49.8 percent, supported the policy. The Faculty Senate, on Jan. 25, voted by amargin of 12-9 to present its recommendation to the trustees that the request by the University Policebe denied. Through both the Faculty Senate vote and the student vote it is apparent how equally dividedthe campus community is on the issue. Faculty Senate President George Mariz, expressing his ownviews, said the shooting will cast a different light on the situation but could not say if it would have anyeffect on the final outcome. An unofficial polling yesterday of some students who voted in the specialelection on campus showed that Saturday's shooting has left opinions mixed but still split. "I think thatthe students will be more aware of the issue when it comes this close to home," Gray said. "I thinkpeople are going to make the decision with their emotions." Some students now have changed theiropinion, favoring armed officers. Others reiterated their opposition to arming the University Police, arguing that guns in the hands of the campus cops would not have prevented the shooting. The outcome, theycontend, would still have been the same. "Would the incident have been alleviated if the campus copshad guns?" graduate student Jeff Popp asked. "No it wouldn't." Gray said he still believes arming theUniversity Police is not the answer but also said that with this development, he thinks the police probably will get their guns. Fairhaven sophomore Cari Damm insisted if, in a hypothetical situation, armedUniversity Police had been near the Kappa Theta dorm where the shooting occurred, more people mighthave been injured. "(Armed Police) wouldn't have prevented the shooting," Damm said. "It would havemaybe resulted in another death." At the same time, the shootirfg convinced other students whooriginally opposed equipping police with firearms that they would be better protected from violentcrimes in the campus community if police received guns. Sophomore business student David Glocksaid, "I voted against it, but my opinion did change after I heard about (the shooting)." Those whoadvocate arming the campus cops argued that if University Police had been on the scene they wouldhave been helpless in defense of both themselves and the student who was involved. Carroll said that ifthe suspect had decided to retaliate against an officer in some way, he would not have stopped to think if the officer was armed or not.

"Let's see what these guys can do!" mistress of ceremonies Stacey Sargent exclaimed,arousing the primarily female capacity crowd to frenzied squealing. The show opened with a pageant-like dance sequence featuring the 13 tank top-clad contestants, each sponsored by a different universityresidence. Mr. Off C a m p u s was sponsored by the all-woman dorm, Higginson Hall, which hosted the competition. A panel of judges including Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas, rated the contestants from one to 10 in four categories: sportswear, evening wear, talent and crowd response-overall effect.

Highlighting the event was James hanging from the stage lights inhis authentic Robin costume, complete with optional superhero yellow cape. Several lip syncs wereperformed during the talent section. Mr. Birnam Wood, Scott Marker, offered his medley of MichaelJackson singing "Billie Jean" and "Thriller." A humorous rendition of Eddie Murphy's "Boogie in YourButt" was performed by Mr. Fair-haven, Tim Gregory, wh.o was wont to caress that particular body areathroughout his mimicry.

Kappa lounge honors Ross By Kristi Warren staff reporter As a symbol of the bondbetween student life and Western's administration, Ridgeway Kappa- Theta residents dedicated theirmain lounge Sunday in remembrance of Western's late President G. Robert Ross and vicepresidents Don C Cole and Jeanene Delille. A committee of Kappa-Theta students led a donationdrive, which culminated in the dedication ceremony. Kappa-Theta residents and guests gatheredSunday afternoon at 1:30, as resident and lounge dedication committee member Aaron Milasichexplained the Ross Lounge dedication is a way to cement the bonds between student life andWestern's administration. Renee Jones, resident and committee member, supported Milasich's views. "Administration is here for us. We have recognized them and they are more than happy to work for andwith us. Students tend to think of the administration as way above us, but they are just people too,"Jones said. Guest speakers Sam Kelly, graduate dean and vice president of academic affairs, SaundraTaylor, vice president of student affairs and interim vice president of university advancement, and KayRich, director of university residences, spoke of their interest in Western's residence system and theircommitment to academic excellence. The students' response to the death of the three administratorsserves as an opportunity to make this dedication a living memorial, said Erik Schlocker, resident andlounge dedication committee member. "It was nice to see that the residents cared enough to give â€¢toward the-plaque," Schlocker said. Hall funds could not be used toward the dedication ceremonybecause the memorial was not a priority to all of the Kappa-Theta residents, Milasich said. Donationswere collected by the committee. Residents provided $103.58 toward the dedication of the lounge.The Western Foundation subsidized the rest of the money needed for the dedication. "People I didn'tthink it would impact at all have been getting real excited, they think it's the greatest thing. The residents are proud to do this. I think it brings us closer together," Kappa-Theta Resident Director Tina Fuchssaid. Brett Thurman, Kappa-Theta resident came up with the idea during a brainstorming session in aHall Council meeting, Fuchs said. Blythe Cole, vice-president Cole's wife, said, "On behalf of Meaganand our other daughter, Sarah, we are just thrilled that the students would remember them in such alasting way. It speaks highly of the students and means a lot to us." â€¢ SCRAP PAPER l L'T ISt.Patricks Da THff ONE FREE BAGEL!

Or perhaps something else is to blame.Jonathan Jackson campaigned for his father, Jesse, in Bel-lingham Saturday. He spoke to two audiences, about 300 people, about the host of crucial issues our country today faces. Economic and socialinstability at home, conflict at areas of "strategic importance," the nuclear threat ~ all these may seemmore distant than riots in Watts or friends coming home in bags, but there's no guarantee it won't happenagain. Yet many citizens who choose not to attend campaign speeches still want to be informed aboutwhat transpires there. They rely on our free press to keep them informed. Those citizens were notrepresented by the Bellingham-area media at either of Jackson's speeches Saturday. When organizersinformed Tlie Bettingham Herald of the coming event, they said The Herald gave three main reasons itwouldn't cover the speech. First, it was too close to Super Tuesday; second, giving coverage to just onecampaign might not be fair; third, it was the candidate's son, not the candidate, who appeared. TlieHerald's main concern seemed to be fairness. And of all the radio stations in the area, only KPUG tapedthe speech. Yesterday, Sen. Steve Symms, R-Idaho, stopped at Bell-ingham International Airport tostump for Republican candidate Bob Dole. A reporter and photographer from Tlie Herald were there,along with representatives from three area radio stations. The refusal of members of the media to cover aspeech that can aid all voters, Democratic and Republican, as they search to define the issues and thecandidates, is pathetic no matter what the reasons given. Move down South if y'all's itchin' to voteWelcome to "Stupor" Tuesday, a 20-state, mega-colossal race for Democratic and Republican caucusdelegates, which in the end, particularly in Washington, will live up to it's definition ~ a state where themind and senses are dulled. It's unfortunate Washington would join a regional electoral entourage ofSouthern Democratic oligarchs whose only ploy is to keep a strong-running Dixie white boy in the race.That's where the delegates are. In the South. Thus, that's where all of the presidential candidates are now. Washington would be much better off to join California, Oregon and other western states and formregional caucuses. They seem to be the emerging trend on campaign trails. Western states and theirprogressive ideals often clash with the conservative drivel that festers in the South. Just to show howinsignificant the Washington-caucuses are, Tlie New York Times recently insulted the state in a story onthe 20 states holding nominating contests today. Tlie Times focused on the South, where 14 of the states are. It gave nominal mention to Massachusetts, Rhode Island and American Samoa. But they didn'teven mention Washington.

Don'tcomplain So what are you going to do today? Pump iron? Polish your nails? Read a trashy novel? Getstoned? Sleep? Go ahead, defend noble endeavors, but what about a presidential candidate? Not onyour list of priorities? You want to have something to complain about for the next four years -- you didn'tvote for the new president and can't be held accountable for possible social injustices incurred. Arespectable tortoise shell to crawl into, perhaps. Today is Super Tuesday and it means Washingtonstate and a considerable segment of the nation will choose presidential nominees. Who cares? I do.It's every citizen's duty to not only care, but to act. Apathy, complacency, ignorance and frustration are not good excuses for remaining uninvolved. "None of the candidates get me excited." That's anignorant excuse. This year's contest promises to be as lively an event David Kuester staff reporter asthis decade can hope for. But, even that won't budge some couch potatoes. A tremendous opportunityfor change is presenting itself to this society. Many people are terrified of change. They would ratherhave a sterile routine where each daily event is completely predictable and BMW payments can bemade without fear of default. That's idealistic and boring. The biggest issue of this election iseconomics. Ronald Reagan's trickle-down theory has worked, but only partially. He's succeeded instacking the cash at the top, but it appears to be stagnated there. It will take a bold leader to unblockthe dam of greed. Many people believe Ronald Reagan won in 1984 by duping the college-agedconstituency. He waived the magic carrot in front of their faces, promising to deliver the new AmericanDream ~ his policies will make everyone a millionaire. Most college students are from middle-classorigins. Thus, they can regard themselves as protective, servile parasites of the upper economic half,waiting for the crumbs to dribble down to their panting, flattering mouths or, they can see themselves asthe bold leaders of the lower half with a responsibility to usher in an enlightened era of social andeconomic equality. An American's ability to choose a leader is not only a right or privilege, but a duty. Don't complain about things you haven't even tried to influence. Get involved or move to a countrywhere political involvement is not an option. Litter is butt-ugly^ â€¢ Earth is not your ashtray Hello,Careless Smoker, today we are going to learn the difference between toilet paper and your butt. Toiletpaper, made of extremely porous cellulose, is easily biodegradable. Flushability is the toilet papermanufacturer's prime concern (followed closely by softness, ply, design and color). Returned to theenvironment under immense water pressure, TP breaks down quickly in septic tanks and sewers.Those charming little cigarette ends, fashioned out of cottony stuff (sometimes fiberglass) wrapped inpaper, are by no means adept at disintegration. They are not dissoluable by nature, and they are notdissoluable in nature. But you, Careless Smoker, fail to realize this. You take it upon yourself topopulate our roads Alana Warner staff reporter and walkways with your offensive debris, flicking yourbutts afar at bus stops, tossing them out your window on the freeway and dumping your entireautomobile ashtray in parking lots (almost as disgusting a habit as leaving well-filled disposable diapersin adjacent parking stalls). Do you know that those butts, which you so aimlessly abandon all overcreation just lie there forever? (Well, maybe not forever, but they certainly don't disguise themselves asasphalt or concrete anytime soon after they've been deserted.) It's not a pretty sight. And as for you,Extra Careless Smoker, it's time to learn not to toss and trample your butt on the floor. All too manytimes you have concluded upon entering a fast food restaurant that you no longer wanted an extra ---------- Western Front - 1988 March 8 - Page 7 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 8,1988 WESTERN FRONT 7 Christianity is not an ideology The Front, I was drawn to Alana Warner's editorial on Jimmy Swaggart by the obituary notice for Christianity. I appreciate andagree with her concern that the Christian faith has become for many people not a personal convictionof the truth, but an excuse to do whatever they like with God's guaranteed forgiveness. However, I wouldlike to dispute the suggestion that Christianity ever was an ideology I'll define an ideology as a view oflife that is accepted uncritically from a culture. It operates at the level of group suggestion (orsocial conditioning) rather than at that of individual conscious thinking. Two examples are theVictorian belief in "progress" and the post-World War II belief in the ability of science to answer everyquestion in life. Does Christianity fall into this category? I think not. A study of church history shows that there is a "hard-core" of Christian belief and experience, which has persisted for 2,000 years inradically different social systems and ideologies, and which thrives today on every continent. This is not to say that Christianity does not seek cultural expression of its core beliefs or that the culture has notat times had more impact on ( Say it up | FRONT Advertise with us! i ^ 676:3161_J Christianity thanvice versa. This latter case would be my evaluation of televangelism. Furthermore, the Bible itself isthe prime refutation of any theory that views Christianity as an ideology. Set in widely differing societal backgrounds, the books of the Bible contain this same central core of faith throughout. This faithconsists of a belief in God as King and Father and in man as a being whose primary need is religiousrather than social, political or economic. As for the excuse: Biblical Christianity sets before humanitywhat some call an impossible standard (see Matt. 5-7). It asserts that we all are accountable to eachother and to God for our actions. Since none of us have met God's standard, and thus stand under His judgment, we might make excuses for ourselves and blame it on society or our upbringing ortelevangelism. If this were the end of the story, Christianity would rightly be seen as a dour, moralisticreligion. However, the story does go on. God has chosen, through the death and resurrection of Christ,to forgive anyone who will not make excuses for himself, who will lay aside his proud (and mistaken)notion that he is the master of his own destiny, and who will come to Him who is our King and Father.And yes, this forgiveness can include even Jimmy Swaggart. Kevin Hansen Front cartoonist showswhite bias The Fmnt, Alright, WHO is going to confront Mike Carroll and pry open his t e r r i b l y - b i a s e d - w h i t e - Christian-amerikkaner mind? He reminds me of a cross between George Bush andJames Dean (rebel without a clue). However, his "humor" is often more disgusting and dangerous than it first appears. I cite his "predictions *88" in example, and his portrayal of Jesse Jackson in particular.As a person of Jewish descent, I find Mr. Carroll's use of our heritage to discredit and "fan the fires ofracism" not only tasteless, but a dangerous symptom of a shadowy mind set which is lumbering out ofits dark bunker once again. Ask yourself, Mike, (again and again) WHY are there "too many honkys"(Mr. Carroll's phrase) at Western? Could it be something deeply rooted in the American Dream? Orperhaps more of a recurring nightmare - like racism/white supremacy? Maybe it's simply a matter ofclass economics? Whatever it is, we are not amused. We are fed up.

Does everyone remember last year when a second set of double doors wasadded to the north end of Carver Gym? The idea of having double doors is to insulate the building tocreate a dead airspace so that it will cost less to heat. Now then, has anyone noticed the heater that isgoing mad and pumping heat in between these double doors?!! This is purely nonsensical. The wholeidea of the double doors is to conserve heat, but by having the heater running, all that is happening is the outside is being heated! This totally negates the effect of the doors; they might as well not have putthem in at all!! Would someone please unplug that heater â€” or at least move it inside?

After scoring 37 points in the opening game of the series, Aaron scorched the nets for another 32 points last night. That was better than all of Western's starting five put together. James Johnsonscored 15 points and Tim Dickerson pumped in 12, but the other three starters, Manny Kimmie, EricSchurman and Rod Whatley contributed just three points. Dickerson's 12 points gave him a careertotal of 1,320 and moved him into second place on the all-time Western scoring list. The Vikings shot ameasly 17 of 59 from the field and were beaten 50-35 on the boards. The Wildcats had ten offensiverebounds in the first half, including six by Art Haskins who finished with 14 points and a game-highnine rebounds. Central, now 23-10, scored on seven of its first eight possessions to grab a 14-2 lead fiveminutes into the game. Western made its only run of the game, slicing the Wildcat lead to 20-15 with9:50 left in the half. But Central, thanks to Haskin's tenacity on the offensive boards, regained itscomposure and led at the half, 40-25. Perhaps the biggest loss of all for the Vikes was guard RayOotsey who left the game early in the second half with an injured ankle. The Vikings narrowedCentral's lead to 45-32, three minutes into the half. With Ootsey on the bench and three Westernstarters having an off night, Central went on a 14-4 run to push its lead to 59-36. After that, Westernnever got closer than 16 points. Guard shoots for records By John Sleeper staff reporter Off thebasketball court, Tim Dickerson looks as physically imposing as Barney Fife. Face it, his 6-foot, 155-pound frame makes him look like a "before" model in a Charles Atlas ad. But on the court, the seniorguard for the Western men's basketball team takes on a bit more impressive presence. ThroughSunday: * Dickerson has piled up 1,308 points, third on Western's all-time career scoring list, two points behind Kevin Bryant, a Viking assistant coach. * He is the school's career assist leader (393and counting). * D i c k e r s o n holds the Vikings' career record for most games (119) and minutesplayed (3,136). * He averages better than 15 points a game and shoots better than 80 percent from thefree-throw line. * He is Western's- leader from three-point range this season, hitting 86-of-187 (47percent). Name one d e p u t y in Mayberry, N.C., with comparable stats. ' But to hear Dickerson tell it, individual achievements pale in the light of team success. "I hadn't even thought about (the all-timescoring mark) until halfway through the season when people started telling me about it," he said. "It'sgreat to be up there in the school's elite -- I'm sure I'll look back on it in thirty years and remember, sothat's kind of neat â€” but it's more important the team wins." Three years ago, however, Dickersonalmost made a decision that would have made his accomplishments non-existent. Fresh from leadingBelling-ham High School to 32 straight Northwest League victories and a fourth-place finish in the StateClass AA Tournament, Dickerson stepped in to very different surroundings in his first season as aViking in 1984-85. "It wasn't so much that I didn't play," Dickerson said. "I averaged 17 minutes a game.But there was a big adjustment with the coach (Bill Westphal). There were things with the style of play I didn't agree with." Dickerson also was less than enthralled with Western's 11-17 record and the lack ofenthusiasm the school and community displayed over the team. "When I played at Belling-ham, thegym would be packed every night," Dickerson said. "At Western games there would be, maybe, 100people." So, after averaging 5.3 points a game his freshman year, Dicker-son decided to hang up hissneakers and concentrate more on getting his degree in elementary education. Three days later,Westphal Tim Dickerson (12) drives the lane for two. Alycien Van Droof quit. Back came Dickerson. "Idecided to give it another try," he said. It's safe to say Western Coach Brad Jackson is happy Dickerson did. . posing," Jackson said after a recent game. "But when you watch him day in and day out, yourealize he's one of the best guards around at this level." Sort of a Barney Fife with a "Tim's not thatphysically im- jump shot. Recruiting already under way for men's team By Hank Schwarz staff reporterIt seems it would be difficult to improve a basketball team that's only two wins away from the NAIATournament in Kansas City, Mo. But for Western Coach Brad Jackson, the improving already has begun by recruiting for next year. Jackson's search for new basketball talent will continue until the first game of the 1988-89 season. But why start recruiting during the playoffs? "It's a year-round job that goes with coaching," Jackson said, as he opened a file cabinet full of letters on possible recruits. "You always tryto improve each year and when you get a head start, it helps." The recruiting process is difficultbecause NAIA schools such as Western must wait to find out how the NCAA Division schools willrecruit. Another problem is that high school players think they're better then they actually are. "Playersthat come out of high school must realize at what level they can play. Manny Kimmie, for instance,received a couple of offers from NCAA schools to play basketball. He's competitive enough to play atthat level, but he knew he wouldn't be playing much, or he would have been sent to a community collegefor a year. He didn't want all that moving around and he wanted to play, so he came here and is startingfor us," Jackson said. As for next year, Jackson will be concentrating on recruiting players with bigphysical size and strength. "Right now we have three (big) guys that have said they're interested inplaying here. Two of the three are centers and one is a forward-center. All are good size and very goodathletes," he said. Ed Briggs is one of the three, and most likely will be in a Viking uniform next year.The 6-foot-8 center went to Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Ore., but currently is out of school. Jackson said Briggs took time away from school to work, but now he wants to return to college and gethis degree. The two other possible recruits currently are playing at the community college level. Theyare Nick Klungel, a 6-foot-9 center from Skagit Valley Comunity College and Mark Henke, a 6-foot-6forward-center from Green River Comunity College. "Klungel and Henke have both shown interest inWestern, but they haven't committed," Jackson said. "These guys would help us tremendously." "Ittook me a year-and-a-halt to recruit James (Johnson). That's why it's a year-round job," Jackson said."You can't depend on a player to play for you. In James' case, it worked out. "Ray Ootsey was totallydifferent. I talked to him and two days later we got him. It's mind boggling sometimes." District Player ofthe Year Johnson, All-District guard Tim Dickerson, along with back-ups Mike Eisner and Garth Stroyanwill be replaced by those currently on the team, as well as through recruitment. Jackson said it's notgoing to be that tough to fill the spots. Filling the shoes - that's the hard part. ."We have two red-shirtguards in Dan Olsen and Scott Carlson that can fill Dickerson's spot," Jackson said. "But losing aplayer of Dickerson's caliber, you can't replace that." Next year's team may not be as strong as thisyear's team, but when the season starts and the team is selected, Jackson will be happy. "Who knows? We may be even better. You always want to improve, and that's what we're working on." ---------- Western Front - 1988 March 8 - Page 9 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 8,1988 WESTERN FRONT 9 =7T^2v Women's Contemporary Fashions .

Orwas it just one-third the way there? Whatever, the Vikings beat Central Washington University in theopening game of the best-of-t h r e e - g a m e D i s t r i c t 1 championship series, 78-75. Central, 23-10, beat Western 72-51 last night in game two. The Vikings, 26-7, will host the final game Wednesday.The winner of the series will earn a trip to Kansas City, Mo., for the NAIA national title. A capacity crowd of 3,000 at Sam Carver Gym saw Western withstand three obstacles: * An off night on the offensiveend by 6-6 senior forward James Johnson, the Vikings' District 1 player of the year. Johnson exited inthe first half after picking up his second foul five minutes into the game. Shut out in the first half.Johnson scored all 10 of his points in the second. * A 37-point. 11-rebound performance by Central'sall-district forward Carl Aaron, who almost single-handedly pulled the game out for the Wildcats. * Some whacko in the stands who threw a toilet-paper roll onto the floor five minutes into the game. It resulted in a two-point technical foul against the Vikings, which Aaron converted to give Central an 8-7 lead. Inother words, not an easy night, especially considering the enormity of the occasion caused both teamsto look, well, flat. "We'll take it," Western Coach Brad Jackson said. "We didn't show much patience onoffense. We'd make one or two passes and take a shot." Central Coach Dean Nicholson said histeam was plagued with the same affliction, which led to dismal shooting (Central 42 percent, Western46) from the field. "Both teams were a little nervous in the first half," Nicholson said. "Neither teamplayed very well, I thought. We had our moments, but didn't sustain it." The biggest moments for theWildcats came from Aaron, who scored 21 in the second half. He got little help on the offensive side, asonly center Dave Biwer (12 points), scored in double figures. Western countered with a balancedscoring attack, led by guard Ray Ootsey, who came off the bench to score 18 points. Tim Dickerson hit15 and Rod What-ley added 13. Ootsey scored 11 of his points via the free-throw line. The 5-11 juniorguard hit key free throws down the stretch to notch the win for the Vikings. Whatley scored six cf hispoints in a 10-2 Vikings run in the first half. Whatley hit a 12-foot jumper and two jump-hooks from thebaseline to give Western a 19- 12 lead 10 minutes into the game. The Wildcats held a brief 36- 35 leadlate in the first half, but Ootsey hit two free throws and Dickerson nailed a three-pointer to give theVikings a 40-38 halftime lead. Aaron led the Wildcats to their biggest lead, 60-55, with a series ofturnaround jumpers, offensive rebounds and free throws. But another 10-2 run by Western late in the game sewed up the victory. Ootsey hit three free throws to give the Vikings a 76-73 lead with 1:01 left.Aaron hit a jumper in the lane with 40 seconds left to cut the lead to one. . Dickerson made two freethrows with seven seconds left for the final margin. Central's Steve Evenson missed a three-pointattempt at the buzzer. Men's hoop notes Western Coach Brad Jackson benched District Player ofthe Year James Johnson five minutes into the first half of Saturday's Central Washington Universitygame after Johnson collected two quick fouls. Johnson didn't return until the start of the second half. "Iwas going to keep him on the bench for just a couple minutes," Jackson said. "But since we were pretty much in control and Tom (Rawlings) was playing well, I figured I'd save him for the second half." Themove turned out to be a good one as Johnson played 17 minutes in the second half, scoring all 10 of hispoints and grabbing six rebounds in that time. Both coaches had made pleas to the crowd, but fiveminutes into the game a roll of toilet paper came down onto the floor. The result was a two-shottechnical against Western. The technical foul was called on Western because of a new rule thatautomatically assesses a two-shot penalty to the team's fans for throwing debris onto the court. "Wefound out about the rule change a couple hours before the start. We (Jackson and Central CoachDean Nicholson) decided to announce to both (Western and Central) fans to refrain from throwing stuff on the court," Jackson said. "That fan must have not been thinking when he or she did it." â€¢ ^m w^ BMaw ^m Mil â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ^m m Sitting in the student section behind face-painted fans was futureWestern basketball player Ed Briggs. The 6-foot-8 center from New York City attended the first game ofthe district finals last Saturday. "You can bet I'll be here next year," Briggs said. "I have two yearseligibility. I want to play basketball, graduate and have fun. I feel I'll do all three." Several NAIA schoolshave shown interest in Briggs, but Western is where he wants to be. "I could play for Central, Lewis-Clark State (College) or Seattle Pacific (University), but I want to play here for Coach Jackson. My oldcoach, Tim Hills, said good things about him and I was interested. When I talked to him (Jackson), Iknew Western was for me." ~ Hank Schwarz Hoop players consider team manager special By HankSchwarz staff reporter There's a collision on the court. The whistle blows as bodies sprawl on the floor.Suddenly, a small man bolts from a courtside chair, running like he was racing against Jesse Owenswith a towel flapping in the wind. He wipes the floor dry of sweat and sprints back to his seat. This manis Kevin Fenwick. The 5-foot-6 junior is in his first year as manager for the Western men's basketballteam, but you wouldn't know it if you saw him at work. Coach Brad Jackson describes Kevin asdedicated. "He loves what he does, and he's a service to the team," Jackson said. "Not only duringthe games and practices does he work hard, but if I need some filing done in my office, he's right theredoing it, no questions asked." Western players Eric Schur-man and Ray Ootsey agreed. "Enthusiastic!" Schurman said with a smile. "He always has a positive attitude towards the team. He's always therewith water and a kind word. That's what makes him special." "Kevin is energetic. Work, work, work."Ootsey said. "He's always doing something. He's never made anyone mad and he hasn't really messedanything up." Fenwick almost got his job by accident. "I was coming up here (Western) toconcentrate on school and that was it," he said. "But I turned in an application to Coach Jackson andhe called me in. The next thing I know is I got the job." The seriousness of his job is personal, but fundoes come with the territory. " O n our road t r i p to Whitworth (College) and Lewis- Clark (StateCollege), I was teasing (guard Tim) Dickerson about nothing in particular and I didn't let up. He said, 'I'll get you.' "That, night, there was a team meeting in the hotel room. So I kind of sat in the back andlistened. Then all the sudden, Coach Jackson and all the guys jumped me. I couldn't believe it. It was alot of fun though," Fenwick said, laughing. Not all of Fenwick's life has been fun. Earlier in the year, he was not doing well in classes and considered quitting. "I really was going to give it up," he said. "I went to talk to Coach Jackson and he helped me change my mind. He told me to stick it out and keep mychin up and everything would be alright. Plus some of the guys (players) told me to hang in there, so IPete Kendall It's a harmonious working relationship. The manager, Kevin Fenwick, supports the team, and the team supports the manager.

He wasn't sure in what direction his life was going, so he started attending church and became a Christian. Fenwick attributes his personal success as a servant to his mother and his belief in God."I'm a servant to these guys," Fenwick said he still hasn't decided what the future holds for him. Hewould like to work in a health-related field for Christian athletics, or even for the Sonics. But, " t h a t ' s a once in a lifetime thing," he said. For the time being, he's happy to be doing what he is now. "This isthe best team I've ever worked under. Not only because we're the best, but also because these guys are great They treat me like another player, not a manager," he said. National tournament of fers 51years of tradition ByJimWilkie staff reporter For 51 years the best small college basketball teams inthe country have been going to Kansas City, Mo., to crown a national champion. Beginning in 1937,the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics National Tournament is the oldest intercollegiatechampionship in the world. The National Collegiate Athletic Association started its national championship in 1939 and the National Invitational Tournament began in 1938. The NAIA has been billed as the"hardest tournament to win" because the champion has to win five games in less than a week. Thisyear's opening-round games start March 16, and the final is scheduled for March 22. Originally called the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball, the NAIA championship has grown from an, eight-team invitational tournament into its present format of 32 district champions vying for the James Naismith Trophy. After Central Missouri University won the first two titles, the tournament expanded to 32teams in 1939. The number of tournament teams has remained the same since then with two exceptions. In 1944, the tournament was canceled because of wartime travel restrictions, and in 1945, only 16teams participated for the same reason. Western's best showing was in 1972 when the Vikings made itto the national tournament quarterfinals. Its only other appearance in Kansas City was a first-roundloss in 1960. The event claims to be the largest intercollegiate championship tournament because it starts with more than 150 teams competing for the 32 spots of the final rounds in Kansas City. Likelythe NAIA's biggest accomplishment was helping to break college basketball's color barrier by lettingthe first black player and first black school participate in national tournament competition. The women'sdivision of the NAIA was established in 1980 and had its first national tournament in 1981, also in Kansas City. When the tournament expanded from eight to 16 teams in 1984, it was transplanted to CedarRapids, Iowa for two years before being moved back to Kansas City. Western's women's team had itsbest year in 1986 with a quarterfinal appearance. ---------- Western Front - 1988 March 8 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, MARCH 8,1988 WESTERN FRONT 11 Fans attend hoop games in record numbers By Butch Kamena staff reporter It wasn't all that long ago when most of the fans at Western basketball gameswere disguised as empty seats. But not so anymore. Western's men's basketball team averaged 1,824fans a game in 17 home dates this season and had 1,000 or more spectators at 15 of those games,according to statistics put out by Sports Information Director Paul Madison. By contrast, last seasonthe Vikings averaged 959 fans, and had five crowds of 1,000 or more. The season before that, 1985-86,the numbers were even lower, with a 773 average and only three games at 1,000-plus. One reason forthe surge in attendance has been Western's success on the court. Two seasons ago, the Vikings were11-15. They improved to 22-13 last season, and so far this season, hold a 26-6 mark. But winning maynot be the only factor. "It's a combination of things," Madison said. " I t ' s winning, promotion and aneffort by the athletic department to get fans out to the game."

Whatever the reason, attendance is up enough to start setting records. Saturday night'shome playoff game with Central Washington University was a sellout two-and-a- half hours before thedoors opened. In no other recorded instance has an NAIA District 1 game been sold out prior to theopening of the gates. Carver Gym has a 3,000-seat capacity for basketball. The last three tickets were bought by Gene Hogan, a student at Gonzaga University. Hogan, a Bellingham native, had a goodreason for attending the game. "I played basketball in high school with (Western guard) Tim Dickerson,"Hogan said. "He said he'd score 40 points tonight and he'd take me out to dinner if he didn't."Dickerson, who will be paying up because he only scored 15, has said after a number of games thisyear the crowd has been an inspiration. "The crowd should get 50 percent of this victory," he saidafter the Vikings defeated Simon Fraser University in the district s e m i f i n a l s . " T h e y weretremendous." The crowds have been flocking to Carver Gym since the beginning of the season.Western drew 1,300 fans in its opening game this season, a victory over Trinity Western University. Last season's home opener against the same opponent drew only 700. Five times this year, the crowd in3,000-seat Carver Gym has been estimated at 2,000 fans or more.

It's a philosophy that's helped Jackson build a .500 ballclub into one ofthe nation's best NAIA Division 1 basketball teams in just three years. "I'm a fairly aggressive person,"Jackson said. "It shows in our style of play, our coaching and our recruiting." Jackson played collegebasketball at Washington State University under Marv Harshman, Bob Greenwood and GeorgeRaveling. He has been coaching for 14 years in Washington, including a five-year run as an assistantcoach at Seattle Pacific University and one year as head coach of Eastside Catholic High School beforecoming to Western. Since taking over the role as head coach, Jackson has implemented a number ofstrategies to produce a winning team at Western. "Western has always had good talent in it'sbasketball program," Jackson said. "There were certain reasons why they hadn't been successful inthe past dealing with policies that go a long way back. Since I've been here, I've tried to help changesome of the problems facing the program." The biggest problem Jackson said he saw when he came.toWestern was the lack of student support at the games. "At the beginning of our first home game, therewere only a couple hundred people in attendance." Jackson said. "I asked one of my players whereeveryone was and he told me this was it." Jackson immediately started to find ways to promote theteam to the students and the Bellingham community. "Bellingham is a good sports town, and I couldsee there was interest in our program by the number of people who showed up at our bigger games,"Jackson said. "We are in a vicious circle where success breeds success and support. We just need to continue building a winning program." This year, home attendance has improved throughout the season. Jackson said the support from Western's men's basketball Coach Brad Jackson. the students and thecommunity has been tremendous and a factor in their wins at Carver Gym. Jackson, who also is theassistant athletic director, credits much of his team's success to Western's new athletic director,Lynda Goodrich. "Lynda is doing a great job in helping promote the basketball program, as well as thewhole athletic program," Jackson said. "Together we've taken a whole new tact on promoting ourprograms." Jackson said he wants the athletic program to become as successful as Western'sacademic programs. He said people want to be involved in athletics and part of winning programs.Jackson and Goodrich said they believe Western's strong athletic programs and academic programscompliment one another. "We have a great academic reputation, which is a strong influence in ourrecruiting of athletes," Jackson said. "I want my athletes to be successful academically, as well ason the court. At Western, athletes have the opportunity for both. My job is to help them along in bothareas. I have a goal to see all of my athletes succeed both on the court and off."

From coaching the most successful athletic team in the history of Western,to becoming one of only five female college athletic directors in the United States, Goodrich hascompiled some impressive accomplishments. In the past 17 years, Goodrich never has had a losingseason as coach of Western's women's basketball team. Her teams have been to the regional playoffs16 times and to the national tournament four times. Since joining the NAIA five years ago, thewomen's basketball team has reached the championship game or series five times. The last time theVikings reached the national tournament, they made it as far as the quarterfinals and finished in the topeight. ' ' W e h a v e a l w a ys maintained a standard of excellence in our program," Goodrich said.G o o d r i c h was named athletic director last spring after the retirement of Boyde Long. She has beenhighly credited with Western's athletic success this year. "The success of the football team and men'sbasketball was perfect timing for me as I came into this position," Goodrich said. "Our success hashelped generate excitement among the students and helped us in implementing promotions and ads." When Goodrich became athletic director, she said she wanted to help build a successful athleticprogram, which would parallel and enhance academic programs at Western. In doing so, she's taken a business marketing approach to promoting and selling Western athletics to the Bellingham area. " I'm trying to utilize marketing ideas to sell our programs to businesses and the general public," shesaid. "By having ticket give-a-ways to businesses around Bellingham, we can show the people whatWestern athletics has to offer. If our product is good, these people will come back for the next game. Ifeel like a novice at the moment, but I'm trying to learn the ideas to help sell what Western has to offer." "I think it is a realistic goal that we can sell out all of our major athletic programs," Goodrich said.

The voice of the Morning News Tribunesportswriter was quite clear. "Central (pause) 77, Western 76." The Western women had lost the finalgame of the NAIA District basketball championship series by a narrow margin and their season wasover. â€¢ But shed no tears for the Vikings, it was a very good year, and next year figures to be evenbetter. At the beginning of this season, only the most optimistic supporter would have thoughtWestern would be only a point away from claiming the district title. The Vikings started this season with a roster of four freshmen, four sophomores, three juniors and a lone senior who had but oneyear of playing experience. During the season, more obstacles popped up, like injuries, illness anda grueling nine-game road trip. But even with the deck stacked against them, the Vikings came awaywith a 22-9 record. Butch Kamena staff reporter Much of the credit should go to Coach LyndaGoodrich, who showed why she is in the NAIA Hall of Fame. Goodrich juggled lineups, both bynecessity and choice, throughout the season. Western had nine starting lineups during the season. Yet through it all, the Vikings kept winning. In December and early January, Western played nine-straightroad games and won eight of them. In mid-January, starting forward Lynn Munday went down withmononucleosis. After a period of adjustment, the Vikings played some of their best ball of the yearduring a six-game winning streak. Goodrich's steady hand was part of this success, but no matter howgood a job a coach does, the outcome still depends on the players. And the p l a y e r s came through.By the end of the season, Western was not only winning, but it was fun to watch. I've seen too manygames to count in the last three months, but some of the most enjoyable were Viking women's gameslate in the season. Whether it was because of the powerful drives of junior Anna Rabel, the inside play of senior Karen Gannon, freshman Cim Hanson and sophomore Alayna Keppler, or the steady floor playof sophomore Kerri Browitt, the Vikings were a fun, exciting, winning team. The best part about thisteam is that practically everyone will be back. Only Gannon will graduate. The rest will return, a yearstronger and a year more experienced. Sure, anything can happen between now and next season,and games will never be won on paper, but rather by sweat and determination. At this early date,however, hopes must be high for next year. I'm already looking forward to November. I don't think there'llbe any disappointing phone calls. Rabel provides leadership By Craig Daly sports editor It's hard tosingle out any heroes or superstars on the Western women's basketball team. Anna Rabel's team-leading 11 points and 6.9 rebounds per game averages were good, but not far above some of herteammates' statistics this season. But Rabel's role as a leader and team player, as well as her stats,helped her earn Western's lone spot on the NAIA District 1 All-Star Team. The 21-year-old junior fromSeattle almost didn't attend Western, opting instead for a basketball scholarship to Towson StateUniversity in Maryland. After a year at Towson, however, she decided to move back to Washington."It wasn't working out there," Rabel said. "I got a l i t t le homesick so I came back." She attendedBellevue Community College and made the basketball team, but had to red-shirt the season whenshe contracted mononucleosis. She finished the school year at nearby Seattle Central CommunityCollege and searched for a four-year college where she could display her basketball talents. Sheenrolled at Western in the fall of 1986. "I thought of walking on at the University of Washington, but Iknew that would be really hard and my dad liked Western, too," Rabel said. "When I was deciding to goto Western, I would say 'yeah, I'm thinking of going to Western,' and people would say Western's gotsuch a good reputation and Lynda Goodrich is such a good coach. Even though they heard our teamwas gonna be really young, they said we'd do really well anyway." Off the court, Rabel is pursuing adegree in broadcasting and is considering a career as a sports announcer. "I like to engineer and do alot of technical things," she said. "I haven't had any TV classes yet, but I'm definitely interested in it. Ithink sports broadcasting needs more women in that field." Rabel excelled in two sports while attendingRoosevelt High School. In basketball, she was a two-time all-Metro league selection. She averaged 24 points and 12 rebounds a game for the Roughriders in her senior year. During that time, Rabel was also a member of a Greenlake rowing club. The team, which consisted of top rowers from around Seattle,placed fourth at the Junior National Rowing Tournament in Oakridge, Tenn. Five of the rowers,including Rabel, were invited to try out for nationals and an opportunity to make to United Statesrowing team. She declined, deciding to concentrate on just basketball in college. With a young Westernbasketball team that's losing only one player to graduation, Rabel said Western and Seattle University will be the teams to beat next year. "I sit back and I look at the team we've got and I'm amazed. Wedid so well this year that next year, we're going to be excellent. I think we're going to be unstoppable." Pete Kendall Western's women's basketball Coach Lynda Goodrich. Goodrich sells athleticsGOODRICH, from p. 12 same time. "At times I feel like I'm wearing two hats," she said. "Both coaching and being athletic director are full-time j o b s . To do both is very demanding, but at the moment, I amhappy with my positionr" Goodrich has many personal long-term goals she said she would like tosomeday achieve. But for now she also has some goals she would like her team to reach. "I guess I'dhave to say that my long-term goal is to move more towards the administrative side of things, but at themoment, I love coaching and I have a number of goals I want to accomplish in that field before Imake any decisions," Goodrich said. "I would love to take my team to the national finals and get thenational championship. I think that's a very conceivable goal in the next few years." Above all ofGoodrich's team standards is academics. She said she is concerned with the percentage of studentathlete graduates and their grade point averages. All of Western's coaches put academic goals ahead ofeverything else, Goodrich said. "We are a wonderful model as an athletic academic institution. Ourcoaches all feel that the term 'student athlete'emphasizes the word student and is their No. 1 priority."

The meet pits current Western track team members against Western alumni. The alumniwon this year's meet because of numerous lane violations reported by the alumni and spectators. "Thewind affected performances," Western Coach Kelvin Halsell said. "There were some o u t s t a n d i ng performances." Western athlete Jerry Goodwin opened the season with an outstandingperformance in the hammer throw, pitching the hammer 161 feet 5 inches. Goodwin also won the shotput and the discus. Alumni athlete Allen James was the most diverse at the â€¢ meet. James startedoff the day by winning the 1,500-meter walk, then stepped up the pace in the 400-meter dash, claiminganother victory. Other outstanding performances were put in by Jerry Hopper, who won the long jump, triple jump, and placed second in the 110-meter hurdles. Wayne Ward, who was on the winning relayteam and placed first in the 100-meter dash, and Brian Estes, who also was on the. winning relay team, placed first in the 200-meter dash, and second in the 100- meter dash. Holly Watson was on thewinning relay team, and placed first in the wind-aided 100- meter dash. The wind did affect the way themeet was run. The pole vault was canceled because of winds, and the 100-meter dash was turnedaround so that the wind might have an affect on the times. Nordic skiers make nationals Give a hoot.Don't pollute.

Noon-2 a.m. By Mark Watson staff reporter Western's men's nordic ski teamleft this morning to compete in the National Collegiate Ski Championships at Giants Ridge Ski Resort inVirginia, Minn. The three-member nordic team of Craig Andrus, Robert Woerne and Kennan Harveyqualified for the national races last weekend at the regional races on Mt. Bachelor in Oregon. They arethe first members of Western's ski team to qualify for the national championships and are projected toplace somewhere in the top 15 among the 22 teams competing. "Western is the only club team out ofover 90 teams that make up (the NCSA)," said Mark Sundseth, director of the Northwest Division ofCollege Ski Racing. "All of the other teams in the nation are varsity sports with scholarship offerings."The nordic team placed fifth in the nordic combined event at the regional race and qualified for thenational race in Minnesota. "Normally, a fifth-place finish wouldn't qualify a team for nationals," Andrus said. "It used to be that the top two finishers from each division qualified, but because the Midwestern and Northwest divisions are so strong, the national committee changed the rules allowing the top fiveteams from the two strongest divisions to qualify for nationals." Team members credit much of theirsuccess to Western's faculty. In past seasons, the team's classification as a club sport has made ithard for team members to be excused for training and racing. This year's success has begun to changethat. "We got a lot of support from our professors and the people in the athletic office," Woerne said."They gave us the time off to compete at the regional race and were very supportive the whole year." Allof the members said then-strengths lie in consistency. Each member led Western in Nordic eventsthroughout the season, and all are within a minute of each other in the races. "Craig and I are usuallywithin 10 seconds of each other," Harvey said. "That type of consistency makes for a strong finish inthe final standings." Western's nordic team also is the smallest of their division with only threemembers. Teams are allowed six members to race in a given event and most of the teams carry a fullallotment. "We've competed against the best teams in the nation already," Woerne said. "We hold ourown because we work well together. Some teams have one fast person, and one or two average people. The team will compete in the 15-kilometer open on Thursday and will finish with the 3-by-10- kilometerrelay on Saturday. Of the 22 teams that qualified for nationals, two of the five teams in the NorthwestDivision are expected to place in the top three and all are expected to place in the top 15. 647-03711414 Cornwall ^fenced someone with the confidence of a surgeon, the dedication of a marathoner the courage of an explorer.

Kathryn Lewis,women's health care nurse practitioner, said she conducted the survey to find out if women are alteringtheir sexual practices because of AIDS and to gather information for an on-campus AIDS program. Shestill is compiling data for the program. "Then we can target areas to find out why people aren't usinginformation they have," she said. Lewis said her findings indicate students remain largely ignorantabout the potentially fatal disease. She said it is interesting to note students don't considerthemselves at risk: only 28 percent said they would discuss a new partner's sexual history or intravenous drug use, and only 24 percent said they Men's poll says birth control OK By Paul Douglas â€¢ staffreporter A survey of men on Western's campus found 96 percent believe they should take someresponsibility for birth control. The Men's Resource Center recently completed results of a randomphone survey they conducted of 100 men on campus. Specifics areas studied included domestictasks, which refer to domestic responsibilities and attitudes toward careers, work and sex. Anotherinteresting statistic found 87 percent of the men surveyed were single. Among other findings, thesurvey showed 74 percent of the *~" men questioned strongly agree c o u p l es should share theresponsibilities around the house, 99 percent answered women should be treated equally in thebusiness world, and 86 percent surveyed said they have to perform a traditional role in a monogomous relationship. Peter Lutz, an anthropology . student, wrote and administered the test. The purpose of the survey was to provide current information about how men see their role today, said Chris Feiring, Men's Resource Center coordinator. The information the center had available was outdated or did not apply toWestern's male population, he said. Lutz designed a questionnaire, which included questions about men's activities, health, fashions, domestic tasks, careers, military and liberation. After selecting thequestions, Lutz and others called 50 men. Surveyors explained the purpose of the survey to each caller.They w were told who would use the information. The questionnaire took approximately 15 minutes,and because of the lengthy lapse with each person, Lutz decided to randomly hand the remaining50 . jm questionnaires in Red Square fall Quarter, said Feiring. The results of this survey will allow thecenter to examine its current programs and consider changes for next year, Feiring said. One programunder consider- .j* ation for next year is a workshop on parent- child relationships, which will deal withthe transition of returning to college, he said. would ask their sexual partner to use a condom."Women have this swept-away mentality," Lewis said. She surveyed 200 women between the ages of 18and 20 last January. "They think they are innocent if they don't plan to have sex." Other statistics in thesurvey include: * 53 percent of the women surveyed thought if a blood test is negative, the persondoesn't have AIDS. However, "It (AIDS) takes at least six weeks, and up to 14 months, to show up in thebody," she said. * 39 percent thought women were less likely to get AIDS than men. * 31 percentthought AIDS could be contracted from insects. * 28 percent thought other sexually transmitteddiseases, such as herpes or venereal disease, could turn into AIDS. * 28 percent didn't know the earlysymptoms of AIDS, which include weight loss, fever, fatigue and swollen glands. Lewis said thesepopular misconceptions show how misinformed people are about AIDS. "We want them to think aboutit," she said. "You have to see yourself at risk before you listen." Chlamydia statistics for Whatcomcounty indicate people still are having un-p r o t e c t e d intercourse, Lewis said. Chlamydia, a form ofsexually transmitted infection, is a good indicator of unprotected intercourse, which is the only way to get the disease. â€¢ She said the number of cases demonstrates the need to use some barrier type ofbirth control. Lewis said barrier birth control should be used at all times, regardless of whether anothertype of contraceptive is used. "Even a highly effective method isn't effective if it's not used," she said.Effective methods of preventing AIDS include contraceptive foams, jellies, suppositories, sponges,diaphragms and condoms, she added. Lewis is designing a campus-wide program to blanketWestern with information. "People must stop ignoring the issue," she said. Possible educationalprograms, which could start as early as spring, include an AIDS slide show for dorms and variousclasses, an AIDS-awareness poster project using the talents of Western's art department, a group-discussion program where students would discuss AIDS and a program on intimacy andcommunication between partners. "We're aware of the sensitivity of the issue. We know they'reafraid, but we must overcome the fear and embarrassment. We have to make the issue larger than theembarrassment," she said. The Student Health Center has a confidential AIDS counseling andtesting program. The center also has converted one room to a media center where students can watch video tapes and get information about diseases and illness.

I t received the signature of Governor Martin, who had assured President Fisher of his assent and has set the day that will complete the campaign that has been carried on by Washington educators for the past ten years, and that surely means business. To make .the bill more effective, it carried by a vote in both the House and the Senate, which was nearly a complete white-washing for the opposing group... That alone must have been quite a tonic to the minds of those who have fought and fought hard for years for this measure. They deserve the fruits that come with unquestionable victory. President Fisher was jubilant at the results and he should be. Here and now we congratulate him wholeheartedly. A mere congratulation is so minute compared to the hours of effort he has put in, that • it sounds like a pin dropping in a room of fifteen riveting hammers. , // 15 something to run an institution with a minimum of friction, but it is another thing to advance its standing constantly. President Fisher has done both. W. S. N. S. Our scholastic standing is excellent at the present time; with this new angle it will add prestige to our education and that is what we want. I think all agree to that. The time has past, or at least is in the dim, backward distance, when the Normal schools of the state represented a place to pick up a few canned facts to pass on to the coming generations as the pure stuff, or for the student to put in time when unfit for anything else, in other words, just a grist-mill turning out nonthinking, non-leading, personality-minus weak-sisters of the teaching profession. Maybe we haven't turned out world-beating athletes, BUT WE "Cuadros Castizos" or little pictures from Spain and other Hispanic countries, is the theme of a program to be presented in assembly on Friday, February 17, by Luisa Espinel, a dancer and interpreter of Spanish Folk music; In addition to the repertoire of folk songs and dances of former ages, she sings the songs of Spanish moderns such as de Falla, Granados Turina and Nin. She also has a large collection of folk songs from our Southwestern states and Mexico. Program Varied Her program is built around seven groups of songs. The groups represent northern Spain, the Levant of Spain, the south of Spain, the Spanish Moors, the north t gt;f Mexico and California. For each dance she has a different costume and colorful properties, many of which have histories of their own. Honored Highly Miss Espinel has received two of the highest artistic honors accorded a recitalist: in 1928 she was sent as a special envoy of the famous Institute de las Espanas on a tour of the United States; and was assisting ar-ist at the Anniversary Festival of Chambers of Music at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. o WAA to Sponsor Four-Star Movie Philip Barry's "Animal Kingdom" Coming Next Week QUARTETTE APPEARS BEASTS TO TANGLE Costumed Les Voyageurs Group Presents Varied Music An attractive program of music is expected when the mixed quartette of "Les Voyageurs" of Vancouver, B.

The artists will wear full dress costumes and uniforms and will present a program ranging from TUT dor Madrigalis and Palestrina to early and late Victorian music. Modern impressionistic piano selections, Dvorak and Beethovan duos modern light classics, and a selection from "The Firefly" complete the program. The madrigals will be presented in the old English style, with the singers seated at a table. The personnel includes Mr. Bates, who announces the numbers; Bettie Cross, pianist; Marion Frieze Edwards, soprano; Jane Sugden, contralto; William Beadle, tenor; and J. McAllister Wallace, bass.

A touching, scene was created when Silly Sam, played by Nelson Brewer arrives at the critical mo- • ment as a reprieve and saves Sarah from the poor house. Katherine Bowden, playing the role of Emma, a young weaver, did well in portraying the true meaning of friendship and sympathy between the factory workers. Roger Chapman deserves considerable praise for his directing of this successful production. ''. The play is particularly appropriate at,:'this tune bemuse of the present existing conditions among the the need of the bill not being que* : f a f l ^ r wortfcr^^ "The Animal Kingdom," a four-star picture showing at the Mount Baker theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week, will be sponsored by the W. A. A. Until Tuesday, tickets for this motion picture can be procured for 25 cents each, at the landing in front of the main door. Twenty-five percent of each admission sold by organization members will be cleared by the W. A. A. This sum will go to pay off. some of the Sinclair Island lodge debt. "The Animal Kingdom" strangely enough, has not a single animal in it. It is a clever satire on modern society. The writer of the stage pro-production, Philip Barry, gave i t this title simply because his characters show so many elemental emotions that they are fit only to be ranked in the animal kingdom. Critic Praises Show Pare Lorentz a critic of much note writes in Vanity Fair: "You could not ask for a more skillful or careful or genuinely fine production than 'The Animal Kingdom' To begin with it is by far the best study of poor little rich people Barry has written. And as Leslie Howard, William Gorgan, Ann Harding, and Myrna Loy have been secured for the leading characters, it could hardly miss being a splendid production." _ o Barefoot Schoolboy Bill Successful in Senate at Olympia The "Barefoot Schoolboy'' act, introduced to the state senate by Senator Gable, father of John and Charles Gable, attending Bellingham- Normal school, was passed by an unanimous vote of those present yesterday. The bill provides that the state bear half the running expenses of the' public schools, an increase of 30% from the percentage formerly appropriated for this purpose. The bill as passed was only amended in one respect from the one originally proposed by the senator., The only debate, was that concerning the proposed amendments,' Several phases of adult recreation will be discussed next Wednesday, night by Miss Thelma Short, women's physical education teacher, for regular broadcast Miss Short will link up with adult pastimes the activities and forms of recreation in which the women. are instructed here, showing that the Normal program of sports for girls is such as will be of use to them after graduation. She will explain the value of recreation to the students and to older people emphasizing its continued need when school attendance is a thing of the past. o SPENCER RESIGNS Tonight the wild men of the institution will meet in the big gym to tear each other limb from limb, much to the amazement or amusement of the fair young damsels and wolves of the school.

Sperry's Classes Are to Begin Tragedies Miss Keeler Speaks on Barefoot School Boy Act over KVOS Discussing the new Barefoot School Boy act, Miss Delia Keeler, spoke over KVOS last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. / Miss Keeler reviewed the history of education in the state of Washington and showed the development of more satisfactory legislation in its behalf. She explained that few districts in the state are rich enough to support schools with the levies which are now permissible. Explaining the provisions and the purpose of the 1933 Barefoot Schoolboy Act, Miss keeler summarized her speech by saying: "It is the fundamental purpose of the new Barefoot Schooboy Act to fix standards for the state's and the counties' shares of the support of the common schools, and thus to preserve that equalizing principle'which has played so important a part in our educational progress; and to pass on to the children of the state their heritage; toe f ^ Members of the Shakespeare class taught by Miss M.

Good News From Olympia And now we've the degree bill passed! It seems impossible that the goal of so much effort has been reached. A new spirit, an undoubtedly better spirit, is saying what's to be done in the executive chambers at Olympia. Governor Martin and our friends in the legislature are to be thanked sincerely for their contribution to the improvement of the educational system of the State of Washington. But what a paradox it would be if the bill closing the three schools were to be passed. Surely a gubernatorial veto would follow the passage of such a bill. The Normal schools keep large number of people in Washington at work who would otherwise be standing in breadlines. Both the faculty and the student body of all three schools would be counted among the unemployed if the institutions should close. Washington needs its payroll. W e need our education. W e can have both! — o Assemblies Again GRANDAD DESCRIBES SPORT OF OLD DAYS Scribe Told "Muddyin"' Season Old South's Big Event Is Literary This and That Selections from Milt Gross may be all well and good for tired business men, but to present vaudeville "gags" to future teachers is an insult to the profession and a slap in th face to those present. Townsfolk who attended must have taken home very complimentary stories to the rest of the people in Bellingham concerning the excellence of our assembly programs and the intellectual level of entertainment designed to amuse those who will teach their children. Money could be saved in the school by. giving assemblies entirely over to clubs and organizations such as Mr. Hoppe's speech and play-production classes, the Drama club, and others, presenting programs of their own talent. The experience to the participating students would be of great value to them, and certainly programs superior to that of last Tuesday would be seen. The students are to be compli-mnted on the civility they showed the contralto. Not an uncouth razz-berry shook the sickly stillness after her selections. No one laughed. No one even left. There was only silence, and the impoliteness shown Prsident Fisher's slip-of-the-lip in a late assembly was redeemed. Pitying adults heard Jeannette Gause sing in the assembly, not unsympathetic children. _ o -. Bad Driveways Grandad, a rather hard and lean old Texan, who still chews snoose, and plays dominoes and in many other ways harks back to the "good old days," likes to tell about all t he pleasures he used to enjoy years ago. I like to listen to him, especially as he talks about "muddyin' ". Everyone goes "muddyin" ", for the day set for that activity is just as much a holiday for the people of the community as is the Fourth' of July, Pioneer's day or June Teenth* All available draft animals are rounded up to accompany the picnickers and when the party reaches the hunting ground—a slow-moving, shallow stream—the day's fun begins. "Poor Whites" Appreciate Holiday The recreation is not the kind of pleasure enjoyed by people who consider play a regular part of every day's program. I t is t he long-looked-for fun-fest that only hard-working "poor white" cotton farmers can appreciate. The atmosphere of the occasion is one of relaxation and intense enjoyment—a getting away for a time from the routine and t he drudgery of the back-breaking and soul-killing toil of the farms. "There is a fish-fry on today! Though tomorrow we may be working like "niggers" there's a fish-fry on "today!" Fish Are Caught with Mules and Clubs While the women and old men watch the festivities from the river bank or make the necessary preparations for lunch the boys and younger men begin to "fish." A few of them mount mules and wade them into the deep pools where the yellow "cats" are to be found, while another group of fishermen wade barelegged out into the middle of the streams with clubs. The water soon gets considerable "muddied" and the "cats" begin coming up for air. When a fish appears on the surface a fisherman clubs him, throws him up on the bank and then looks around for more victims. Occasionally a disturbed water moccasin makes the fishing more interesting and exciting. Smell Those Catfish Fryin' While the fish are being caught the women clean them and make ready for the picnic. Small boys and girls play on a swing made by. nature: a trailing grapevine. Others climb slippery elms and ride them to the ground A baby plays on a blanket under its mother's Watchful eye. (Centipedes and stinging lizards are sometimes met with in the grass.) Everyone is happy and many are singing. Why shouldn't they sing and be gay! Isn't "muddyin' " the most fun imaginable, outside that described in novels, and isn't the smell of frying catfish wonderful? The fish-fry days are gone now, for "muddyin' "has been made unlawful because it threatened to seriously deplete the number of fish in southern- rivers and creeks, but the twinkle in grandad's eye says he will always remember those "good old days" with joy. *June 19, celebrated by the southern negroes as the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The early watermelons are just getting ripe at this time of the year. o Last week John Galsworthy, the last of the Victorian writers, and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize, died at the age of sixty-six. Galsworthy was born in Surrey, England, and was educated at Harrow and Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in 1890, but he thoroughly hated law. •":',''. He was of independent means.and for several years after he gave up his law practice he~ traveled widely and read a great deal. On one of his voyages he met Joseph Conrad and formed a fast friendship with him. Conrad had-begun to write, and he showed Galsworthy a manuscript. The latter recognized the worth of the work and advised Conrad to devote himself to writing. Thus another great author was launched on his career. -Galsworthy himself had no idea of becoming a writer, but he was encouraged to try. He was twenty-eight when he began, and he said of his first tales, "They had every4 fault." i n 1903 he commenced "A Man of Property," the frst of the Forsyte series, which occupied twenty-six years of his life and followed the Forsyte family through three generations. . . .' .• He wrote his manuscripts rapidly in a bold .hand. He corrected them extensively, making them always untidy. Galsworthy never made scenarios for his plays or outlines for his novels, and never quite knew how they were going to work out. He did not write under pressure of necessity, but waited for inspiration. In 1930 Galsworthy announced the last of the Forsyte series. "One can't keep on with that sort of thing indefinitely, especially after one has killed one's principal character." The novels "Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness" begin the story of another family. "It may continue on to be another saga. One never knows," was Mr. Galsworthy's comment.

Evidence that Miss Catlin's work is appreciated in her community is the fact that her school has steadily grown larger. She began by teach ing the three children of two families in their homes, but when more and more mothers began sending their children to her, Miss Catlin found it necessary to look about for a new home. In the basement of a public library she now meets daily with her nine primary-grade children while well-informed and well-educated mothers instruct the pupils of the intermediate and upper grades. In addition to the usual academic subjects music, dramatics, and French are also taught. Not long ago Elizabeth Hopper, Director of the Appointment Bureau, received a letter from Miss Catlin in regard to the experiment she is undertaking at Longview. If optimism is an augury of success, then much is to be expected of Miss Catlin in the future. o STUDENTS HAVE FLU This week's list of illnesses from the nurse's office show that flu is still the main cause of absence.

The contest was played last Wednesday on the Whatcom floor. Wildcat Defense Good The Wildcats presented a close-checking defense and a puzzling offense which worked with perfect smoothness. The eastern hoopmen featured the'game with sensational floor shots coupled with their center system of "feeding" to the scorers under the basket. Ellensburg Takes Lead Ellensburg jumped into a quick lead and ran the score up to 12-2. Bellingham retaliated however with Rork Moser, Nolte, and Clint Mc- Beath doing the work to make the score 10-7. Ellensburg looped a long one as did Malcolm McBeath for the local five. The easter^i team came back to sink two more beautiful shots which were immediately followed by a field goal by Moser. The Wildcats made two more baskets to run the score to 20-11 as the half ended. Wildcats Open Up Rork opened the second round by scoring for Bellingham. Ellensburg looped a field goal. Clint McBeath also scored. The Wildcat retaliated with another goal, followed by foul shots by M. McBeath, C. McBeath, Nolte, and a free throw by Ellensburg, to run the score to 25- 18. The eastern boys got hot and sank three field goals in rapid succession Rork counted for the Vikings, followed by three more long ones and a foul shot by Ellensburg. Score 38-20 Moser made good on a free throw and C. McBeath swished the cords for a long one. Nolte connected a foul shot to make the score board read 38-24. The Wildcats repeated, as did McNeill with a field goal, and Moser with a foul shot. The eastern hoopmen sank their last field goal. Rork closed the game with a goal for Bellingham. Score 42-29.

This season's Inter-school hoop league is about the most gore-thirsty regiment of fat rascals that the school has witnessed in years. It looks like the former Baron, Charles Gable and his Garden Terrace crooners have a strangle-hold on the championship cup (Mrs. Baughman says that any of the boys can down three in a row without cream or sugar). Oh, well, we can't all be presidents, so just take it with a grain of sugar and a drop of milk, it's better that way anyhow. The boys' play basketball under the title of Viking Manor but that's alright.

Miss Kangley spoke of the "psychological approach" to be used in writing applications pointing out that the job-seeker should give the impression that he is fitted for the position offered. "An easy conversational but business-like and direct Coach Sam Carver says that with the first track meet scheduled with Ellensburg on April 29, the cinder turnouts will get earnestly under way next month. The last game on the basketball schedule will be played next week, and with the advent of good weather, the more eager boys will be out on the track the following week going thru their limbering-up paces. It's no secret that right now, the prospects for a high class squad of cinder artists have never been any brighter. This quarter there is a wealth of veteran, material in the school, and most of the men plan to return in the Spring. Sprinters Hot In the sprints, Normal will have Schilaty the best century man in the minor colleges of the state, and Chuck Thomas, who can usually be" counted on to finish a race in the one of the point-winning places. Prospects are not too bright in the middle distance runs but Johnny Stiger, Bob Hall, Bob Becken and Johnny Christy will be on hand while Albee, the county high school half-mile champion from Whatcom, will give the veterans a little competition. Topped by Johnny Gable, trinomial champion the Vikings will have a quartet of nifty broad jumpers which will include Howard Was-ley, Lee Williams and Dutch McBeath, a newcomer who will also see action in high jumping. Pearl, a classy broad-jumper from Lynden, is also figured on in this event. Pole-Vaulters Good Davey Jones and Posey Flowers can be counted on to take two places in the pole-vault against almost any competition that we shall encounter. Normal will be short on hurdle artists but Sam has received word that Jim Davis one of the very best hurdle men Normal has had in recent years, is contemplating returning to school next quarter Lew Lovegren, Brink Brinkman and Jo Johanhsen, a letterman in the mile who has sent word that he will probably come back, will be on hand to give the Vikings some high-powered materials in the distance runs. Many Javelin Throwers In the throwing division of the field events such potent performers as Berg, in the weights and javelin. Kemphaus, a last year's spear-tos-ser, and Temple who formerly threw the javelin at C. P. S., will aid Normal in gathering in the points. All of these boys, added to new men who are in school but of unknown quality, should develop into the formation of a first-class track team. '.Ah3:Nikfi Non-Run Stockings Without the Mesh!

But the 6ther' lt;lay while going through my wallet I discovered an oldN American Weekly neatly crumpled in behind my driver's license. Thumbing hurriedly through the 26-page edition I was ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ K ^ ^ P ! ^ K i p S H ^ startled to see an article by a ^ ^ ^ w s ^ , , , * : H i ,,v,:,,,.,, gt;m,sss^™« "Well-khown professor in the east who says "that the eyes are gradually growing closer together and that some day there will be just one big eye in the middle of our face. v I wonder just what provision President Roosevelt is making against this national catastrophe. I think my eyes have started to move in already. But I bet mine never do grow together. They will probably just close in enough to touch at the corners and then stop. One would get quite a jolt to wake tip some morning and, putting on his glasses, discover that they w;ere useless because he had only one eye. Glasses cost money. But I" guess it won't happen for awhile yet. "Countless Ages" is the way the professor times it. So that lets all of us over 19 out of the fun. The other facial features are going to be shifted around somewhat. The large eye will not be in the center of the forehead like you thought—nnaa-nnaa-nnaa. It will be right in the middle of the physiognomy. The facial contours hitherto below the eyes will be compressed into the small space between the eye and the r chin. I don't know where you will wear your ears. Maybe they will be detachable and the stylists in Hollywood and Paris will dictate each year where they are to be worn. No provision is made for those who wear moustaches. I suppose they will wear them on their forehead or the back of their neck. This calls for quite a readjustment of our present idea as to just what constitutes a face. I think we had better just drop the word face and name it something else. But if it ever happens just keep a stiff upper lip—providing you have an upper lip left. V V • CAMPUS DAY just to change the subject {you should, change subjects eoery 1,000 miles for the best mileage) we will revive campus day. All in all (silly expression) it was very successful despite the menacing Weather. About the only ones who didnt fall into the lake or gel wet were the lifeguards. The sound system installed with the loudspeakers blaring at you from trees and rooftops Was a aery pleasing and should-be-done-oftener idea. But with all the fun I'm glad' it's past so I can start recuperating for next year's Campus day. Vet of Deep Sea Diving Tells Further of Work By Phillips Captain Art Hook, veteran deep sea diver and former navy officer, leaned on the door of his car after the assembly Friday, as he continued discussing his experiences. "Narrow escapes? How was I to know if they were narrow or not? One has no way of telling how close he came to slipping over a cliff. I came up, that's all I know." This was the way Captain Hook replied to the question asked of every man or woman who works in a dangerous position. "I started diving when two girls drowned in Lake Whatcom," said Captain Hook. "Recovered their bodies and I've been diving ever since, except for the time I spent in the navy during the war. At present I work for myself; going to Alaska each summer and working there, for the fisheries and for private individuals." Captain Hook, speaking quickly as he did in assembly, said, "Why, in the forty minutes they gave me here I was just getting started. I could go on for hours telling of my experiences. You can't tell of 20 years diving experiences in one or in five." "Yes, you can kill octopi by hand if you know how," replied Captain Hook to that query. "By grabbing the eyes with two fingers and then pushing you can generally kill them—if they don't get you first. Octopi are dangerous and there are many right here in our own waters. One doesn't need to be too scared, but one should be careful." Hook, of less than average height but very powerfully built, is a Bellingham man, having attended the Campus school here at WWC and also having been prominent on the Bellingham waterfront as its first harbor master. "I also was the first newsboy and the first motorcycle cop in Bellingham," said Hook, as he mentioned his town life. Students Voice Opinion On U. S. And Its Participation In War By JOE BELDON, Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN, Texas, May 16.—As Europe's war spreads to new fronts, observers are pointing to increasing possibilities of the U. S. being involved. In the opinion of American college students, many of whom are of fighting age, what are the conditions under which the U. S. should join the Allies against Germany? Interviewers in scores of campuses have asked that question in' a Student Opinion Surveys sampling. The^ results, exclusive to the WWColIegian and other member newspapers, show definitely that the American collegian has not changed his mind, is still much opposed to rushing into the conflict. A good majority—two to one—may be included in two camps: Those who believe we should not join at all; those who would have us fight only in case the U. S. is actually threatened with an invasion. The largest group of students, one-third of the entire enrollment, would keep our armies at home and fight only if an enemy attacked on this side of the Atlantic. The smallest group registered in the poll, 2 per cent, represents the students who believe the Lf. S should join the Allies at once. Following are the complete national tabulations: Under what conditions do you believe the V. S. should Join the Allies against Germany? t. Only if there is actual threat of the U. S. being . invaded -. ....... 33% 2. U. S. should not join _ 31 3. Only if there is actual threat of any American: nation being invaded _ 15 4.

No opinion ._ 4 Those are the opinions of students after the German invasion of Scandinavia. Recent allied failures in Norway may have changed attitudes to some extent, but the trend as the war has progressed has been more and more against the U S. entering the conflict. Six months ago a Surveys poll pointed out that 36 per cent approved of sending troops against Germany if the Allies appeared to be losing. Nov only JO VOL XXXVI.—NO. 31 Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday,. May 17, 194CB SHIERS, JUNKIN/MONSON WIN ASB POSTS Haggard Names Faculty Five To Talk Jobs Revamping of Student Rules Of Employment Due lii Faculty Committee Meet President Haggard has announced the organization of a faculty committee to consider the revamping of employment standards here at WWC. The present requirements of student employees were first put into operation in 1933 but since then conditions have changed. It is the aim of the newly-appointed committee to change these requirements to better fit the present situation. The committee will be composed of Loye McGee, Miss Florence Johnson, Dr. C. C. TJpshall, Miss Ethel Church and Dr. Merle Kuder. Employment Big Issue That this is a big issue in the college administration, can be seen from the fact that 200 students are employed by WWC. This group comprises one-quarter of the student body and its yearly income amounts to $30,000. Of these jobs 82 are NYA. Committee Has Three Objectives The committee has three prime objectives before it in the effort to improve student employment. It will strive to provide all the employment opportunities possible, thus establishing the necessity for scholastic standards. The required grade point average at present is 2.35. Employment will be given only to regularly enrolled students. A re-examination of the concentration of work will be made in order to break up job monopoly and thus spread the employment over the greatest possible area. Choir Appears In Assembly Both assemblies ? for next week will be presented by the students of WWC. Tuesday, the a Cappella choir, under the direction of Nils Boson, will offer a concert, while on Friday the assembly hour will be taken up by the meetings of the Womens league and the Norsemen's club. The program of the a Cappella choir will be as follows: "Salutation," (Jacobsen); "Bless the Lord," (Ippolitoff-Ivanoff); The Nightingale," (Tschalkowski); "Where'er You Walk," from "Semele," (Handel), Kenneth Johnson, tenor; "Night," (Noble); "Misty Moon," (Lutkin); "John Peel," and english hunting song, (Andrews); Noon and Night," (Hawley) and "Passing By," (Purcell) Douglas Bird, baritone; "Tuoni," (Sibelius with soloist; "The Great Angelis Host," (Grieg); "Come Again, Sweet Love Doth Now Invite," an English air, (Lutkin) with soloist; "The Old Woman," an English airr (Davis); O, Can Ye Sed Cushions?", a scotch cradle song, (Bantock); Shoot False Love, I Care Not,' "The White and Blue," Geraldine Gildersleeve will accompany the choir. Here's Grim News Although the news arrived a little too early to inspire the father to gurgle his Way to victory in the baby bottle contest at Lakewood, Paul R. (Trim is a papa. Young Douglas Paul, as the tot is tagged, squealed the first signals for . the Grim Brothers football squad that still needs ten men, at St. Luke's hospital, Sunday, May 12, and then went on to Weigh in at eight pounds. Dr. Crim, campus school social science, head, was overjoyed ai the prospect of haying a youngster to educate pro-gressively and Monday was spending many happy hours chortling.

H. Hoppe Takes Directorship, For Anderson's Drama; College Students Fill Roles "The finest poetic drama ever written by an American." Thus the critics term Maxwell Anderson's "Winterset," to be produced by the Bellingham Theater Guild May 29, 30, 31, and June 1. Hope To Direct Presented under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, WWC drama coach, and staged by Glenmore Jones, the play brings to the stage in important roles such familiar guildsmen as J. Marshall Bacon, Alice Benn, Victor Hoppe, Norman R. Burchette, and Cleon Butz. Dr. Jack C. Cotton, of the college speech department, will make his Guild debut in an important role. WWC Students Cast This nuclear cast will be supported by a group of eighteen, among whom are Glenmore Jones, Alva Potter, Mary Lou Plumb, Ronald Jones, Ronald Lund, and Norbert Cormier, the latter from WWC. This play is considered by many to be Maxwell Anderson's greatest triumph, and has been presented on both the stage and screen for several years. Its plot revolves about the conviction of the young man, "Mio" played by Cleon Butz, that his father is innocent of a crime of which he has been accused. Gripping, dramatic scenes and fine stage settings characterize the play as it is written, and the Theatre Guild intends to include all of them.

The plan seems to echo a popular conception that the poor allies are being molested by a big, bad bully named Hitler. The last victim of such sweet phrases is now dodging Nazi invaders somewhere in Holland. If beaten Hitler will probably live to see another occupant fill his shoes and climb into allied hair just as the eighty-three-year-old ex-Kaiser is seeing the Austrian paperhanger do today. Wilhelm, the old man-with-out- a-country, is a living example of an assumption that it is not the man Hitler that is wrong with Europe or Germany but existing resource and population conditions that are effervescing into a froth of militaristic madness and murder. As one observer has said Adolf is but a pimple on the face of Europe. If he is removed another will rise to take his place. An anonymous allegory to today's European situation is the one likening the entire mess to a boy with a toothache. Picture the Teutonic nation as the boy and the dictator as an ulcerated molar. Obviously a mere slap on the face and physical punishment cannot remove the ache and neither can the slapping down of Adolf Hitler remove the underlying causes of the frequent European strife. If the tooth be merely extracted, a nickel given to lessen the pain, and the cause for its decay left unmolested another ulcerated bicuspid will even tually take its place. Just so if Adolf Hitler be extracted and a million American dollars be given for his extraction another maniacal leader will fester into a dictatorship. As long as England and her allies tell the teeth to take care of themselves while they allegorically exist aplenty on the candies and goodies of the economic and populative suppression of their lessers, the world can expect the teeth to decay and give rise to ungodly pain that will become so great that even extraction and proper care will come too late to save the face of European civilization. The allegorical sore teeth are wrong, these candies and goodies are wrong and WAR IS HELL. Let's have none of it. Preservation in^Good Spirits .Much has been written and spoken concerning the tendency of some college students to raise their spirits with spirits. Perhaps the most pertinent idea on this question is the anonymous observation: "Not many college minds are important enough to be preserved in alcohol." It s The Adding Machine That Counts The staff work on last week's paper marked one of the biggest tasks the Collegian has accomplished in the many years of the college's existence. There have been six-page papers before, but never before have there been 6,250 of them. Mathematically here is how the sheet totalled: - Each paper carried 38 columns with 20 cuts utilizing 203 square inches. One hundred and thirty-two inches of advertising were circulated. Each Collegian carried 15,000 printed words and represented 75 hours of student writing, together with 42 hours of student assemblying work. gt;, the sum total of all the time and labor that went into the 6,250 papers is staggering. Ninety-three million, seven hundred and seventy-five thousand words were printed, 1,268,750 square inches of- pictorial material shown, 725,000 column inches of ads were circulated and all this went on 825 pounds of magazine paper which were divided into 37,500 pages, which were subdivided into 237,500 columns. All this represented468,750 student-veiling hours- Student • assemblying hours added up to 262,500.

Outside of that I'm losing so many of my best players."^ If the break-up is final, Teddy will continue to record for Columbia, using all-star pick-up combinations as he did before leaving Benny Goodman.

Atrocity Adolf At Work From Germany, by way of Siberia, came a 64-page propaganda booklet to the Collegian office this week. The table of contents questioned sternly, "Shall We Call It Refined British Torture?" Apparently the British were interning German women in a prison, while British prisoners i» Germany, according to the magazine, live in a kind of "castle where there are tea parties, card parties, and various amusements." (Firing squads are lots of fun). In another article it was reported that the nasty British are bombing neutral Denmark, which naturally outraged peace-loving Germany, for "Germany desires a Europe in which all nations cooperate to mutual benefit. Even in wartime she is trying to achieve this aim." Czechoslovakia loves Germany dearly and under German rule is starting a program of beautification of towns and villages, under armed guard, probably). The Czechs are to be shown that their real enemy is the Jews. It seems that there are British boy scouts on a camping trip in Jugoslavia. And Germany maintains through the medium of the Magazine that these vicious boy scouts are sabotaging factories! No sir, you just can't trust those boy scouts. They turn into sabotage agents and spies every time. In Poland, Germany is bearing with a bad situation bravely and generously in the face of the atrocities perpetrated by a few misguided Poles (Jews no doubt). These vicious Poles have "murdered" at least 5,437 German soldiers and "more graves will probably be found." These soldiers were peacefully trying to help the Poles run their country. The murders were undoubtedly instigated by the British who have planned them for a long time. According to the booklet, the only reason France is in the war is because of the influence of the Jews, for the French really see eye to eye with the Germans. Instead of admitting or explaining any of the charges brought either by the allied or neutral countries, they are "officially denied." This phrase occurs with monotonous regularity throughout the magazine. The subject . of concentration camps is studiously avoided and as for anyone ever being shot in such a camp, why the whole thing is a big joke and treated as such! WALON fteoi mcl Tltfik ^ FRANCE/1918— "The whistle blew. The sign for the attack had been given. My men were just kids, but so were the enemy. It was certain to be a hand-to-hand battle. I stumbled on through the mud and darkness. A German,youth, just a boy, a bewildered expression on his face, charged toward me. I lunged forward, my rusty 12-inch bayonet poised for the fatal. thrust. Then I got "deer fever" as the boys' eyes, in that flash of time, showed fear again. I couldn't jab him. I made an attempt to side-step and use the butt of my gun. But too late, he slipped and fell, my bayonet passing completely through his body. My first thought was to withdraw the bayonet and hide myself for this was a crime, a murder, but the bayonet had stuck in the lad's backbone. Wildly, I wiggled the bloody bayonet back and forth; the boy's body no longer moved, just the cold open eyes stared up at me. Extracting the bayonet, I couldn't go further. Mentally dulled, I slid back into the trench. I lay there for three days, vomiting every meal I ate . . . " WAR!! . . . as described by an army officer to a small group of R. O. T.

CABINET SHINDIG Prexy Edith Meenk is having as her guests at her home in Lynden, Friday night, the members of the present WAA cabinet. According to advance notices, the dignified guests are going to journey to the party in Campus Day Gone With The Beard With another CAMPUS DAY safely stowed away in the past, faculty and committeemen heaved ten-ton sighs and breathed fervent prayers that CAMPUS DAY, like Christmas and graduation, comes but once a year. From the morning assembly till the last strains of Chuck Sudduth's music died away, happy WWC-ites expressed their appreciation of the day's program. Bouquets for the Best Chairman Jensen's final statements on the matter consisted mainly of orchids directed at his committeemen. "Without such enthusiastic l co-operation, CAMPUS DAY couldn't have been the success it was." He laid special emphasis on the work done by the sports committee, especially Jimmy Parisi. "Parisi's skillful handling of the sports set-up kept things running smoothly," he said. Turn Off the Spotlight Matinee idol of the week is Ed Landon. Landon is being considered for the academy award for his superlative performance in Tuesday's assembly. That ghastly, horrible pulsing thing that Landon removed from Scott Stinnette's esophagus was in reality a bladder from a basketball.

KULSHAN TRIP—FOLLOW-UP Sliding down hill on tin pants is the latest sport to be taken up by the college athletes—at least that's one that captured the sportlight on last week-end's Kulshan trip, jointly sponsored by the WAA and Norsemen; Lois Reid scraped her leg in the process, but aside from that, it was a popular sport. Two of the male members of the parly, Rolf Jensen and Frank Anderson, obtained feminine help in pulling a toboggan uphill, but when the girls looked down the hill they were going down they decided that the two men could have the pleasure of sliding down alone. Saturday nighty the hikers organized an impromptu band, composed of kitchen ware, and Lila Hart's harmonica, and danced the Virginia reel and the schottische. The hike up Colman glacier, led by Chet Ullin, former WWC student, was one of the highlights of the trip.
