Saga Agrees to Use Only Union Lettuce By JIM THOMSONFront, Reporter In a vote that fell one count of being unanimous, the Inter-Hall Council (IHC) has decidedthat only United Farm Workers' (UFW) lettuce should be served in Western's dining halls. Until Thursday, there had been no policy on campus concerning union disputes, which is what the lettuce controversycenters around. The dining halls have been serving UFW lettuce only when it is delivered to Saga.Although the IHC has no authority over Saga, Vince Gallagher, the food service's director, said Saga willgo along with the council's decision and will serve UFW lettuce whenever it is available. Saga buys thebulk of its lettuce from Keene's Produce in Bellingham. Gallagher said Keene's has reserved about 30cases of UFW lettuce for Saga, but explained that that amount would last only through tomorrow."Probably what we'll do is not serve lettuce when we run out of UFW lettuce," Gallagher said. This weekthe Viking Union Facilities Committee is scheduled to decide on a lettuce policy for the Viking Unioncoffee shop, and a committee at Fairhaven College will decide on a policy for the Fairhaven dining hall.Gallagher said he believes that these two bodies will follow the IHC decision and said that Saga will abideby their decisions. Julie Gonzalez, a member of the Third World Coalition, inspects empty, non-unionlettuce containers found with garbage back of the Viking Commons. Saga foods has agreed to serveunion lettuce in most of its outlets, if that is the desire of the students. U.S.'s Toughest Customer HereTomorrow Ralph Nader, known as America's most famous critic, will speak at 3 p.m. tomorrow in CarverGym on "Environmental Hazards: Man-Made and Man Remedied." Nader specializes in documentedcriticism of government and industry, and his efforts have had widespread repercussions on publicawareness and bureaucratic power. The crusading attorney first became prominent in the field ofconsumer protection in 1965 when he blasted the auto industry for producing unsafe vehicles. Since thenhe has been responsible for at least six major federal consumer protection laws. He spearheaded themove to have millions of defective cars recalled and the elimination of an additive (monosodiumglutamate) from baby foods. According to the New York Times, "What sets Nader apart is that he hasmoved beyond social criticism to effective political action." The 37-year-old consumer crusader graduated from Princeton University in 1955, where he first became interested in automotive safety. While earninghis law degree at Harvard he wrote several articles for the Harvard Law School newspaper concerning carsafety. Those articles became the basis for his 1965 book, "Unsafe at Any Speed." Spending from 16 to20 hours a day at work, Nader has been responsible for countless advances in the areas of safety,sanitation, pollution control, advertising credibility and politico/economic power. Nader's honorary titlesinclude: Muckraker, the U.S.'s Toughest Customer, Public Defender, and America's most famous-andmost effective-critic. Program Commissioner Denny Hjeresen said that a 50 cent fee will be charged tohelp defray the $2,000 speech fee.

O'Neil said that of these, 1,634 freshman and 657 transferapplicants have paid their advance fees and are considered "confirmed applicants." The actual number ofopenings for freshman and transfer applicants is not concrete, O'Neil pointed out. "We plan to keepadmitting applicants until we get 9,500 full fee paying students for the coming school year," he added."But priority will be given to applicants already in college." O'Neil explained that students pre-registeringfor fall quarter will be required to pay a $50 advance fee to confirm their registration.

O'Neil said that the advance fee, due July 15, was imposedbecause many students who pre-register spring quarter do not return to school in the fall. "Last yearabout 400 pre-registered students didn't return fall quarter," he added. "This left us holding the bag withthe state." O'Neil explained that the college had received money from the state for those 400 studentsand when they didn't return the school had to return the money to the state's general fund. "We don'twant this to happen again," he said. O'Neil said that Aug. 1 is the deadline for new applications. "Weshould have a pretty good picture of where we stand by then," he added. In comparison, as of April 30,the University of Washington had received more than 9,000 applications for 3,700 freshman classopenings.

General: $1.25 iry Financial Aid Program Here Approaching the CrisisStage Western's financial aid program is approaching the crisis stage according to Richard Coward,director of the financial aid office. The college's allocation for financial aid in the coming year falls morethan a quarter of a million dollars below estimated need and is, in fact, less than that received for 1970-71, Coward said. Total funds available, including new federal, institutional matching, state grants, tuitionwaivers, and miscellaneous scholarships amount to $920,500. Coward said that current need for eligibleapplicants is $1,188,925. Out of 1,234 eligible applicants approximately 958 will receive aid, leaving 276eligible students' without any money from the financial aid office. Under the financial aid program, needystudents from low-income families must be funded first, leaving little or no funds for students from middle-income families, he said. The financial aid office will start sending out financial aid notifications nextweek. Transfers and new students will be notified by June 1 and returning students by June 15. Cowardsuggested that students who find it difficult to get financial aid and will not be able to go to school withoutit should consider a Federally-Insured Student Loan as a safety valve. Program Commission May Go $ 3 0 0 Over its Budget The Program Commission is expected to be $300 over its $43,000 budget at the end of the year, according to Denny Hjeresen, program commissioner. Hjeresen said being $300 over is nottoo bad, since past years have seen the commission up to $22,000 in'debt. The commission wasoriginally budgeted $43,000 for the year and has spent about $72,000, the extra money coming fromadmission fees. The Sunday night films, Hjeresen said, have a year-end surplus of $1,400. The filmscost between $100 and $250 to rent and gross about $800 to $900 in gate receipts each, he said. MamaSunday's coffee house has also come out several thousand dollars in the black, but "it doesn't cost verymuch to put on." The dance fund broke "fairly even," even with a $4,000 loss on the Chambers Brothersconcert. Some events were originally budgeted with the knowledge that they would never show a profit.These included the program of guest speakers, on which $12,000 has been spent, and the social issuesprogram, also costing $12,000. Black Culture Week, another event which was not designed to bring inany money, cost about $7,000. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 18 - Page 3 ---------- 'Tuesday, May 18, YSi71 'Western Front 3 Begins Tomorrow Six Speakers Highlight Spring ArtsSymposium By BOB TAYLOR Associate Editor . Murray Schafer, a professor of communication studies at Simon Fraser University, will start off the Spring Arts Symposium at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the VikingUnion Lounge. The symposium will last until Saturday. . Schafer who has written in many forms, willdiscuss fatria: A Work in Progress," which is a multi-media opera. Other works by Schafer include "TheSon of Heldenleben," an orchestral work with electronic sounds, "Dream Passage," a radiophonic musicdrama commissioned by CBS. Schafer has also written books on music like "British Composers mInterview," "Earl Cleaning," and the "New Soundscape." Currently Schafer is editing the music andmusical criticism of Ezra Pound. William H. Gass, Dugald MacArthur, Robert Morris and Yvonne Rainerwill make up the Thursday schedule. Gass, a philosophy professor at Washington University in St. Louis, is one of America's foremost creative writers and literary critics. His most recent book is "Fiction and theFigures of Life," a collection of critical essays. " . Gass has also written "Omensetter's Luck, a fictionalwork which Richard Gilman called "the most important work of fiction by an American in this literarygeneration." MacArthur, associate dean at the School of Theater and Dance at the California Institute ofthe Arts, is participating in perhaps the most exciting artistic-educational experiment in the country. , The Disney-financed school allows students to explore all the arts and their relationships. In the early sixties, MacArthur wrote and directed Patterns in Jazz," a film documentary that has been distributed throughoutthe world by the United States Information Agency. Morris, a sculptor, and Miss Rainer, a dancer, willgive a dual performance. " Morris, an American minimalist, creates works which are holistic, unitary andindivisible. Minimalists use new materials, freeing themselves from chisel and casting. They areconcerned only with the composition itself. . Morris will lecture on "Disappearing Art-Where Is It Going.'Friday. . Miss Rainer, interested in the human body, regards as a system ot gears and levers capable ofan infinite variety of motions. Her performances are explorations of this variety. Miss Rainer will beavailable for a master class on. Saturday afternoon in Carver gymnasium. ;. [ ,', .., On Saturday, EricSalzman will conclude the Arts Symposium with "Feedback."

It deals with the administration'sattitude. The greatest benefit the Daugert Proposal has for the administration is its combination Senatewhich brings together all constituencies of the college for discussion of major issues, according tomembers of the administration. "From my point, the Academic Senate would mean I would interact withone constituency rather than several," President Charles Flora said earlier this month. By bringing therepresentatives of, faculty, students and staff together, the Senate allows for quicker solutions to p r o b l e m s and also improves communication, he said. Provost Frederick Sargent II believes the DaugertProposal will allow him a closer tie to. curricular matters than he presently has. Under the DaugertProposal the provost acts as chairman of the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC) which is the"body charged with authority over all matters relating to curriculum, teaching, load, academic programsand the like," according to the proposal. Presently, the only contact with curriculum the provost has is aweekly meeting with the four undergraduate deans, Sargent said. However, Sargent does havereservations about the ACC. â€¢â€¢'â€¢ gt;-â€¢â€¢-*-â€¢-â€¢-'â€¢â€¢â€¢ lt; "The ACC should deal withbroad policy rather than approving individual courses or other minor decisions," he said. While theDaugert Proposal provides the mechanism for an efficient college government that allows for change asthe college changes, nothing will get done if the operating procedures become too complex, Sargentsaid. The Senate should look closely at several important decisions, he said: -the Senate should becareful not to establish any more committees than necessary; -the Senate should make sure thecommittees have clear charges and that their functions don't overlap; -the Senate should consider doingthings differently than the present statement of the Daugert Proposal/ Sargent also expects thechangeover to the Daugert government will consist of slowly phasing in the commissions, councils andcommittees. "We ought to spend the first year getting organized," he said. While the Senate develops,the existing forms of campus government will continue to function, he said. "Western is a prettycomplicated place," he said, "and any abrupt changeover would cause more problems than it would beworth." President Flora will take the Daugert Proposal before the Board of Trustees for approval in June,Sargent said. "Though I can't speak for the Board," he said, "it may decide to set up the Senate and see how it will work rather than give immediate and *' com'plete approval." ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 18 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, May 18, 1971 Front Editorials....

The Klipsun TheKlipsun was once as much a part of campus tradition as homecoming celebrations, annual treks up Mt.Baker, and senior class picnics at Larabee Park. But all that has passed into history, along w i t hstudent popularity for a mugshot-crammed annual to take home as a souvenir of bygone college days.The Klipsun, even though it has changed with the times into a feature-oriented quarterly magazine, isslipping under after seven touch-and-go years of scathing criticism, several sloppy editorships, and evena protest burning by a group of angry readers. While there have been a few outstanding issues in recentyears, Klipsun has remained a predominantly mediocre student publication with few student followers.Tomorrow, the Associated Students Affairs Council may recommend that the Committee on StudentPublications drop the controversial magazine from next year's budget, putting an end to at least a namefamiliar to Westernites since the turn of the century. Klipsun's critics point to stacks of past yearbookswhich have yet to be sold at slashed prices or given away free. They say the magazine is a terrible waste of student fees and is not a worthy contribution to the student body, Klipsun's advocates point to whatthey call the major student outlet for creative literary and photographic talent, and charge some studentcritics with attempting to silence a campus medium. As the Klipsun exists to this date, it has failed tofind its place in the campus community. In the process of wandering, the magazine has stumbled intoseveral pits of poor journalism and it has failed to become a medium for controversial, in-depthcommentaryâ€”as most of its editors have said it would become. If this quarter's Klipsun is anyimprovement over past issues, it may be too late to save the magazine in its present format. As theKlipsun is produced today, it should be abolished. But this campus is large and is certainly in need of apublication more frequent than Jeopardyâ€”the annual creative arts, poetry and short story journalfinanced by the Associated Students. We suggest combining Jeopardy and Klipsun to produce a larger,twice-a-year magazine devoted to all the creative literary and photographic artsâ€”in fact combining thebest of both magazines and pooling staffs and talent. The combined product would cost the students less money. $15,000 a year should be sufficient to publish such a publication. Let's not kill Klipsunaltogether in a moment of budgetary boldness. Let's come together and build a new, greater magazine.â€”John Stolpe EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: BobTaylor COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: KentSherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss STAFFREPORTERS Sigma Delta Chi's First Place 4Year College Newspaper GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: GlenJones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.ADMINISTRATION: Jim Austin, Mary Peebles, Scott Anderson.

Bythen, Frishman-still in the Navy-was spending most of his time coordinating the affairs of the wives' group, along with speech-making and other public appearances. He was not a key figure in the prisoner of warmovement in America, and was often being interviewed on television and elsewhere about hisexperiences. Although he had been out of North Vietnam for more than eighteen months, Frishmanlooked very much like a recent returnee. He weighed 145 pounds, his weight upon release. Yet his Navyuniform was still loose-fitting, his shirt collar still far too big; he made no attempt to alter his old uniformsor purchase new ones. I told him there were many responsible persons who did not believe his account of torture while in the POW camps. "I prefer to keep off tortures," he said. "People keep on talking aboutbrainwashing, tortures, and things like that. If people want to call me wrong about the torture, that's okay. I don't care if you write about it." What about the other prisoners who were unable to report systematicphysical abuses? "The men released prior to my time had only been up there for a short period of time,"Frishman said. "Their treatment, as they said, was not all that bad. I had much more knowledge than theother prisoners who came out. Now, for the first time, they (Pentagon officials) had tangible, concreteevidence what things really were like." I reminded him that he had said at his September, 1969, newsconference that fingernails were pulled out of Commander Stratton, yet later photographs published bythe North Vietnamese of Stratton showed no evidence of such treatment. "I never said fingernails werepulled out of Stratton/'Frishman replied, speaking in staccato fashion. "I never said he lost fingernails. Infact, he was hit in the hand and lost . . . " His voice trailed off. "The press said they were pulled out, Inever did." On other specific points he was equally vague and contradictory. "I can tell you this," theformer pilot said, "I can get you bigger stories-if I could get clearance. I try to keep things in generalitiesto avoid any chance of retaliation." Yet he had been specific about Commander Stratton and the wounded prisoner who lived above him. "I was the one who wanted to do this (hold the press conference),"Frishman added. "This has been all my decision. I'm proud of my country. I think that this is the bestcountry in the world. Now, since I've been a prisoner, I've heard both sides of the story. I'm convinced that Communism is a real threat to America. It does scare me, it really does. "As a prisoner, I was scared,boy, I was. Scared of Communism. They can't live with a society like ours. They have to throw overCommunism. They can't live with a society like ours. They have to throw over Capitalism. In Washington, I told a number of present and former government officials concerned with the POW question about theunconvincing interview. One man still in the government acknowledged some- of his own current doubtsabout the Frishman account of life inside North Vietnam prisons, adding that the pilot "was under strainwhen he was released. He had been interviewed (by the foreign press) many, many times. He played ball (with the North Vietnamese) the most and therefore was the most torn." But this official had kept hisdoubts to himself. Another man who was a high Pentagon official at the time Frishman held his newsconference agreed that much of the lieutenant's story lacked credibility. "I personally think he's gotserious problems," the former official said. "Pretty soon every time he spoke he got away from what hehad seen and felt and heard to talking about world Communism." Part of the reason may be guilt, thesource added. "After all, he's out and the other guys are in there . . . . Most of these guys (the nine menwho had been released by North Vietnam) made statements in support of the Hanoi prosecution of thewar while in prison." Told about Frishman's revised account of the fingernail removal incident involvingCommander Stratton, the former official said: "I was less prone to believe that than anything else." Amoment later, he acknowledged that Frishman had "lost sight of what actually happened." Only amongmilitary officers still on duty in the Pentagon did I find anyone willing to refute the suggestion thatFrishman was less than candid. One Colonel closely involved with POW affairs, bristling at mysuggestion that the debriefing sessions had been utilized to induce Frishman to publicly confess, saidflatly: "Frishman did report instances of torture that he experienced or heard of." The officer alsoacknowledged, however, that the Nixon Administration had made what he termed "a conscious decisionto publicize to the world what Hanoi's (POW) policy is" before the Navy lieutenant and his colleagueswere released. F r i s h m a n ' s information, which was immediately accepted at face value throughoutthe country, put to an end a debate between the Pentagon and State Department over the precise nature of prisoner treatment inside North Vietnam that had become increasingly harsh. The military men hadlong been chafing over the early low-key policy of the Johnson administration, whose prisoner of warpolicies had been handled by Roving Ambassador W. Averell Harriman. North Vietnam's first prisonerwas captured in August, 1964, after the bombing in response to the Gulf of Tonkin incident. From theearly days of the Air War, the North Vietnamese had claimed that American planes were indiscriminately bombing schools, hospitals, churches and other civilian targets. As such, the government argued thatthe captured pilots were war criminals for whom the provisions of the 1949 Geneva Convention onprisoners of warâ€”such as international inspection of prisoners camps-did not apply. Hanoi's legal basis for its position was centered around its refusal to apply Article 85 of the Geneva Convention which grants prisoners of war the full benefit of the Treaty's protection, even if they are tried or convicted of war crimes. North Vietnam, along with many other communist and socialist states, entered a specific reservation tothe article before signing. The United States has strenuously objected to the Hanoi interpretation.(CONTINUED IN FRIDAY'S ISSUE) 1 Â»â€¢Â»â€¢Â»â€¢ t.t..1'..Â»*Â«Â£Â«r*.t.'-Â»'t'Â«:Â»-'Â» Â« Â» . *t Â» Â» Â» Â« * Â» * * â€¢Â«."*'-Â«- â€¢ â€¢'â€¢â€¢* * -it- ' Â» ' " lt; ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 18 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday, May 18, 1971 northwest m$ 600 DuPont C y C l w HONDA # KAWASAKIHARLEY-DAVIDSON also used bikes: 1968 450 HONDA $695 HARLEY SPRINT w/500 miles $595 3HONDA 160's $295 and up 734-7580 Requests $16,750 students: come see MANPOWER about good paying SUMMER JOBS for men and women We're interviewing students NOW for interesting summerwork.. .we need girls for office replacement work, men for factory and outdoor work.

Dan Evans said Friday he will veto portions of the state's 1971-73 budget without waiting for the State Supreme Court to rule on its legality. While the provisions for Northern State Hospital is sure to be one of the items to feel thegubernatorial axe, Evans has indicated he will not touch any of the education appropriations, according to Mike Barnhart, administrative assistant to the college president. "The governor has to find between $ 18million and $20 million to balance out the budget," Barnhart said. Evans had earlier indicated that hewould to nothing to the bills passed after the midnight May 10 deadline until the State Supreme Courthad ruled on their validity, but anything not vetoed by next Thursday automatically becomes law. Evanssaid the legislature didn't give him a balanced budget and that "we have to have a budget that isbalanced." He said he thought he could regain most of the $20 million that is needed to bring the budgetinto balance by line-item vetoes. Line vetoes are single items rather than entire sections or bills, heexplained. The practice became wide-spread during the administration of Gov. Albert D. Rosellini, Evans,Democratic predecessor. Evans said he had decided to veto portions rather than the entire budgetbecause "I have little hope of getting more from the legislature than we already have." A veto of the entire bill would necessitate another special session before July 1 in order to come up with a budget for thecoming biennium. He declined to elaborate on the 42 partial vetoes he is considering except to say thatthe Northern State Hospital budget is one. Barnhart said that while he does not expect the $23 millionbudget for Western to be decreased, he does not see any possibility that it will be increased. "We willhave to make do with what we have," he said. Sub-Contractors File Liens for Construction Payments By LARRY LEMON Copy Editor Liens filed by sub-contractors against Peter Bilder Inc., has involvedWashington State in litigation over payments on the bookstore annex and the recently completedhousing and political science office complex. Western has withheld the final payment on the bookstoreannex and has been depositing rent for the office complex into an escrow account until the federal district court rules on the case. As far as Western is concerned, the case centers on several claims by sub-contractors for nonpayment of work performed. Should these sub-contractors not be able to get theirmoney from Peter Bilder Inc., they might launch a suit against the college. The case was moved fromWhatcom County Superior Court to the Federal District Court in Seattle because federal, as wellas state, tax money was involved. - Campus Planner Harold Goltz said Western is renting the office structuresbecause "there was no capital appropriation to build office space, but we did have money to rent space." Goltz added that the office complex was needed because of an increase in enrollment and subsequentlack of office space for additional faculty. Peter Bilder, Inc., a Lynwood Wash., contracting firm, built thegreen portable offices next to the Music Auditorium and leased them to the college on a five-yearcontract. The office complex was not completed by Bilder and the final work had to be done by thecollege. Goltz said the cost of the extra work will be deducted from the rent. He said the court-actionmay free the college from the lease arrangement which was to have expired in 1975. Assistant AttorneyGeneral Rodney Carrier is handling the case for the state. He said Thursday that Weyerhauser, a majorcreditor of Peter Bilder, may file an interpleader to take over the company and would assume all itsassets and debts. "If that is acceptable to the court," Goltz said, "then all prlblems will dissolve." BikesWill Be Impounded Bicycles blocking pedestrian traffic on campus will be impounded if the Board ofTrustees approves a series of regulations suggested by the Parking Committee. R. G. Peterson, director of safety and security, said that he does not expect the new regulations to become effective untilAugust. Other proposed regulations governing the use of bicycles on campus include: â€”Bicycles maynot be parked on paths, sidewalks, in buidlings or near building exits. â€”Bicycles must be parked inracks. If racks are full then bicycles may be parked on the grass off of the pavement. Racks for about 400 bicycles are being purchased by the college. About 200 of these will be for Housing and Dining and therest for academic areas. -Except for racks adjacent to the residence halls, racks in campus areas are for parking and not for overnight storage. Bicycles left more 72 hours will be impounded. -Bicycles may beridden anyplace where automobiles are permitted and on sidewalks as long as pedestrians have the right-of-way. -Moving a bicycle into any unauthorized area is prohibited. Impounded bicycles will be stored inthe safety and security storage area and will be released for a $3 storage fee. Bicycles not claimed within seven days will be released to the Bellingham Police Department. The set of regulations wereestablished in an attempt to cut down on the number of complaints about bicycles disrupting pedestriantraffic. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 18 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, May 18, 1971 Western Front 7 DONALD H. COLE GERALD F. KRAFT New BusinessManager, Biology Head Appointed Two positions in the administrative and faculty staff have been filledwith the appointments of Donald H. Cole and Gerald F. Kraft. Cole is Western's new Business Manager,while Kraft is the new Biology Department Chairman. Cole was assistant vice president for planning andbudgeting and budget officer at the University of Washington until last Friday. He replaces Joe Nusbaumwho resigned at the end of fall quarter and left in early January to accept a cabinet position in theadministration of Gov. Patrick Lucey (D-Wis.). Financial Planning Officer Ernest Sams was actingbusiness manager from January until Cole took over. Cole said that coming to Western was an excellent opportunity for a career advancement. He explained that he was particularly interested in coming toWestern because he grew up in this area. As Western's business manager, Cole is responsible for thebusiness and financial operations of the college. He has authority over the director of personnel, thedirector of campus planning, the director of housing and the controller. Gerald F. Kraft, associateprofessor of biology, was appointed chairman of the department to replace A. Carter Broad,the presentchairman. Kraft has been a member of the Western faculty since 1961 and was director of the Institutefor Freshwater Studies from 1965 to 1968. His extensive studies of the ecology of Lake Whatcom wereinstrumental in developing the present design of Bellingham's water system. Kraft attended City Collegeof San Francisco and graduated from San Jose State College with a bachelor of science in 1954. Hereceived his Masters from Washington State University in 1956 and his doctorate from Oregon StateUniversity in 1962. Western Awarded Grant For Drug Ed Program Western has been awarded a grant to help the college Drug Education Committee set up its drug education program, Dean of Men RayRomine said Friday. Romine said the program is specifically designed to study the causes of drugusage and will be carried out by residence hall students. "We don't know yet just how much money weare getting," he said. "We have asked for $47,000." Western is one of 20 schools in the nationâ€”andthe only one in Washingtonâ€”to receive the grant, Romine said. Under the provisions of the grant, theprogram will be under the supervision of the various resident aides and will be coordinated by the dean of men who will serve primarily as a resource person. Romine said the purpose of the program is to studythe college environment, especially that of the residence hallsâ€”to try to determine what causes drugusage. "The beauty of the program is that students can study the problem on any level they choose," he said. "For example, one group may decide to study the relationship between loneliness and drug usage, while another group may want to investigate the effect of illegality on drug usage." The term drugs isused loosely to include alcohol as well as illegal drugs, he added. Romine said the committee hopes todevelop academic credit for students who want to receive credit for the study, and eventually to expandthe program to include off-campus students as well. As chairman of the Drug Education Committee,Romine said he will create a steering committee of students, faculty and administrators to coordinate the various directions the studies will take. The resident aides will undergo a special two-week trainingperiod prior to the opening of fall quarter, Romine said.

Also, under consideration are the advantages and disadvantages of a one-track and a two-track system. Western presently has a two-track system in which the student has the choice of grades or pass-fail. Payroll System to Change In a moveto save money, Western's payroll will be processed on the college computer rather than through thestate's data processing center in Olympia, according to Ernie Sams, director of financial planning. "Thisyear the state is charging for use of its payroll system and will amount to about $15,000 for the year. They just didn't charge for the service before," Sams said. Sams said that Western can accommodate thepayroll processing now. Personnel and equipment are already available, and all that is needed isdevelopment of the system. Student payrolls are processed at Western now, but Tim Kao, assistantcontroller, said that it is primitive and limited. Some of the faculty have up to 18 deductions and require amore complicated set-up. "The changeover will hopefully become effective in January 1972," Kao said.Vandalism Hits Mathes Hall A series of thefts and costly pranks has plagued Mathes Hall for the pastfew weeks. The most recent theft was that of the television set in the lower lounge of the dorm. The setwas a portable, and sat on a stand built into the wall of the lounge. Monday night, around 9 p.m.someone pulled the fire alarm, pinning Housing with a $300 false-alarm bill. The dorm was evacuated, firetrucks appeared on the scene, but no fire was discovered. Other thefts which have occurred this quarterinclude the removal of the large rug in the main lounge of the dorm, the disappearance of several pillowsfrom lounge couches, and vandalism in individual floor halls, such as the breakage of all lights outside ofrooms. Due to increased vandalism, pranks, and thefts, all outside doors to the dorm are locked at 9p.m. Anyone who has information regarding the missing television set or the false fire alarm is asked tocontact Resident Director Kay Radlauer, or Assistant Resident Director Jean Peters. Western JoinsForensic League Western has been granted membership in the Pacific Forensic League, an organizationof'Colleges and universities demonstrating excellence in intercollegiate debate programs. The recognitionwas given primarily for efforts by Larry Richardson, lecturer in the Speech Department. In citing Western's program, a Forensic League spokesman said that Richardson has "clearly built an exemplary forensicrecord and given a great contribution to speech leadership to the entire country.lt is now taken for granted that a debate team or a student speaking in an individual forensic event will be of the highest quality if he represents Western." The Pacific Forensic League is the oldest speech-related organization in thewestern United States. Daily Bulletin Budget Cut The effects of the current recession are starting to filterdown to the grass-roots level. An estimated $1,000 will be saved each year since the college decided todelete the red coloring on the official daily bulletin, according to college officials. President Charles Florafurther directed that when the existing supplies of striped administration office stationery is exhausted nomore stripes will be put on the stationery. The official bulletin began coming out last week without the red coloring and office stationery is beginning to appear without the stripes. Low Income Committee TheLow Income Citizen's Committee will meet at 7:30 p.m. today in the Unitarian Church on Gladstone andFranklin streets. The committee sponsors several projects to alleviate the problems of Bellingham's poorpeople. Projects that are sponsored include food and clothes centers and applications for welfare.

Photo By LOREN BLISS The Committee on Student Publications has filled three student editorships for summer and fallquarters. John Stolpe, a senior political science and journalism major from Bellingham, was namedsummer editor of the Western Front; Ron Graham, a junior journalism major from Yakima, was appointed editor of the Front beginning in September; and Mark Morrow, a senior English major from Bremerton,was appointed editor of the Klipsun quarterly magazine for fall quarter's issue. Stolpe, who begins hisfifth quarter as editor of the campus newspaper, will use the weekly summer issues to experiment withmore Newsday-style layout, in-depth political features on city politics, and unique photo printingprocesses. Graham, who succeeds Stolpe with the fall quarter "welcome back" edition, said he willconcentrate on campus coverage with greater emphasis on in-depth stories on major issues and events.He explained that there is a need for more consistent follow-up on important campus news. He also saidhe wants to involve more members of the campus community in the paper through comment andanalysis. "There is a great deal of expertise on campus which could be put to good use by the Front indiscussion of important campus issues," Graham added. Morrow, a former Front reporter, intends to wait until he can evaluate reaction to this quarter's Klipsun quarterly before he makes any formal plans for the fall quarter edition. -Another First For the Front- The Western Front has won another first place award forcollege journalism. This time the Front placed first in competition for recognition by the ColumbiaScholastic Press Association at Columbia University in New York. The award is for 1970 issues, covering the editorships of Bob Burnett, George Hartwell and Mike Pinch. The Front scored 890 out of a possible1,000 points for the award. Last month, the Front received the Sigma Delta Chi award for the top four-year college newspaper in Washington State. SDX is the national professional journalism honorary. Thataward was for three consecutive issues during winter quarter of this year. Future Dim Klipsun Fund CutSeen, ASAC Decides Tomorrow By LARRY LEMON Copy Editor Klipsun's share of the $165,000student activities budget will probably be a hot issue at Associated Students Affairs Council Wednesday meeting, according to ASAC Chairman Rich Hass. The noon meeting in Viking Union 354 will review thebudgets of student publications, Activities Council and government and services. "I expect that changeswill be asked for on the Klipsun budget, and I think there will be a lot of flack about it," Hass saidSunday. "I'm very upset about how Klipsun is handled," he added. Controversy centers around Klipsun's non-profit standing. The quarterly magazine's $14,000 annual budget is supported entirely by studentfees. No advertisements are sold for it, and it is distributed free to students. Hass said he would like tosee Klipsun supported half by student monies from ASAC, and half by revenue gathered throughadvertisements and sales. "If nobody buys it then it should be scrapped," he said. Maureen Herold,current editor of Klipsun, said Sunday that "ASAC is just trying to Squelch another media outlet." Shesaid Klipsun is the only campus publication that can give in-depth treatment to current issues. Sheadded that selling Klipsun would mean a reduction in the number of copies available each quarter. Shesaid the total would drop from the current 5,000 to about 2,000. "The main problem would be lettingstudents know when and where to buy it," Miss Herold said. "Most students would be deprived ofsomething they'd already partially paid for." She made reference at attempts to sell the student telephone directory. "When they tried to sell the directory, few people bought it. It wasn't that they didn't need it orwant it; it was just that they didn't know where to buy it." She said that it wasn't fair to judge Klipsun onthe basis of its first two issues. "This was supposed to be an experimental year, and two issues is notlong enough considering the new format and style of writing," the editor said. Hass pointed out thatshould the committee on student publications not accept ASAC's decision, it can appeal it to PresidentFlora. He added, however, that "Flora has yet to overrule ASAC on a,decisionlike,that.,Lt's.justtoa hot apotato to handle." teds lake way motors Volkswagen specialist new partsâ€”usedâ€”rebuilt Service calls 733-9501 Day or night Import Motorcycle Center YAMAHAO it's a better machine II4 Dupont 734-3929 PRESENTS... arts and lecture series j}- Eric Salzman's t FEEDBACK 2j gt; "Aparticipatory/electronic/environmental work j3Â» which integrates audio-visual resources of man and J^technology." jjÂ» Saturday, May 22, 8 p.m. jj.

The car went unnoticed by theCentral spikers and head coach Art Hutton, but the cargo of that car soon aroused the attention of thedefending Evergreen Conference track champs. Just before the start of the high hurdles, the car's owner,Rich Lundberg, opened the trunk and produced the starting blocks which the Vikings used for the meet.These, however, were not your ordinary, everyday run-of-the-mill type starting blocks. These were"Superblocks," which were specially designed and invented by Vik coach, Dick Bowman. Superblockslook just like ordinary blocks, except with one addition. At the front of the normal part there is a barforming a "T" effect. At each end of this bar are rising handlebars with bicycle like handgrips. Thesehandles raise the runner above the normal position when in the set stance and get him out of the blocksfaster and farther in the first step. A fast start is particularly important in such races as the 100.Lundberg and the Vik hurdlers placed the blocks as if nothing was unusual. But the Central athletes sooncrowded around to get a better. look at the new style. Coach Hutton walked over and scrutinized thesituation arid pronounced that the blocks were illegal. Lundberg told him that they were perfectly legal and Hutton repeated that they were not. "I told him again that they were," Lundberg said, "and he stoodthere and looked at them for a few seconds, then walked away." A few moments later, Ken Johnson andRich Nomini took one-two for Western in the highs. Later, Jim Magee won the 100-yd. dash in 10.2,defeating Central's Steve Slavens, who had beaten Magee two weeks ago at the Vancouver Relays. Thedebut of Superblocks actually took place a week ago at the Abbotsford Relays in Abbotsford, B.C.Magee used the first pair made to win the 100 meters and place second in the 200 meters. He was thenasked how he liked them. "Beautiful," he said, "just beautiful. Look at what they brought me," pointing tohis gold and silver medals and the trophy awarded him as the meet's outstanding male athlete. "There isno rule against them," explained Bowman. "If a runner were required to have his hands on the ground atthe start, that would eliminate standing starts. These blocks can make the difference between winningand losing." 'They are especially great for Magee," Bowman continued, "since his biggest problem hasbeen starts. Magee never ran track in high school, and didn't begin until he went into the service." Afterthe Abbotsford meet, two more blocks were made by Lundberg, who made the originals. They are allpainted blue and each is named; "Mod I," "Mod II," and "Mod III." Lundberg said-that even the Centralrunner liked the new blocks. "After the 220," Lundberg said, "a few Central guys got into them and madesome starts before I could get over there. They were really impressed and said they would really like tohave some." That may not be easy. Especially if Bowman wants to be a little nasty about it all. "Wehave a design patent pending," Lundberg explained. "The only way anybody can make a set of blocks like these is with permission from coach Bowman." We didn't get as much static as I expected," Bowmancommented. "I thought Hutton would make a big fuss. But I'm sure that he'll be traying to get some kindof ruling against us in time for conference next week." Hutton is the District number one representative for the NAIA rules committee. "We're going to take them down to Monmouth (Oregon site of this year'sEvco meet) with us anyway," Bowman said. "There is nothing that they can do against us. At least not by next week. "I think that we're really on our way to something big now. We're going to go all the way." All the way. With Superblocks in the trunk of Lundberg's red Chevy.

Cindermen Beaten By Central Depth Two school records and four other lifetime bests simply were not enough to offset Central's strength and depth as Western's tracksters lost their first dual meet of the year to the Wildcats, 96V2-A9Vi, Saturday inEllensburg. Mike Vorce broke his own school mark of 54.0 in the 440-yd. intermediate hurdles with ablazing .^53.4. Vorce had to settle for second, however, as Central's Mike Behrbaum edged the Murdocksophomore with a 53.3. Jim Wilcox broke the school shot-put record of 49-11% set by Dick Nicholl in1963, with a toss of 50-1. The throw could only place third in the meet, though, as Central's Mike Williams and John Kinnard took the top two spots. Williams' winning put was 52-0. The only best for a Vikingwinning effort was provided by Lance Wilson in the long jump. The junior from Bellingham's Sehome HighSchool won with a leap of 22-5 Vi. Wilson jumped that distance twice in the afternoon's competition. TheViks won five of 17 events. Besides Wilson's, other blue ribbon performances were turned in by Bill Longin the pole vault at 13-0, Jim Magee in the 100-yd. dash at 10.2, Steve Lippit in the three-mile at 14:58.4and Ken Johnson in the high hurdles at 15.6. Lippit won going away after staying in the middle of the pack for the first half of the race. Lippit, winner of this year's Birch Bay Marathon, had just become eligible forcompetition after waiting the mandatory 18 weeks since transfering from junion college in Ohio. Secondplace finishes were gained for Western by Rey Pasqua in the triple jump (43-10%); Jeff May in the 440-yd. dask ( 50.2); Kelly Stecker in the mile (4:26) and Rich Nomini in the high hurdles ( 15.8). Two otherViking lifetime bests were good enough for third place honors. Nomini threw the javelin 187-0, beating hisprevious best by five feet. Magee ran the 220-yd. dash in 22.4/ Seven other thirds were captured byWestern: Wilson in the triple jump (43-4); Wes Busch in the pole vault (13-0); Bob Christiansen in thediscus (139-3V2); Dick Foley in the 440-yd. dash ( 50.7); Andy Herstrom in the 880-yd. run (2:02.1) andJohnson in the intermediate hurdles ( 60.6). John Smith threw another lifetime best in the shot-put with a heave of 48-4, but failed to place. The half point for both teams came in the high jump where Western'sMark Salzman and Central's Ray Columbo tied for third with identical jumps of 5-8. " The Vikings willjourney to Monmouth, Ore. this weekend for the Evergreen Conference championships. The two day meetwill be hosted by Oregon College, who are the heavy favorites to win the Evco crown, now held byCentral. WESTERN FRONT SPORTS Pirates End Vik Nine's Title Bid With Twin Wins By PAULMADISON Sports Reporter Western's hopes for an Evergreen (Evco) baseball championship endedabruptly last Saturday as the Vikings dropped two extra-inning contests to the Whitworth CollegePirates, 1-0 in 10 innings and 3-2 in eight frames at Spokane. The losses, coupled with Central's 6-5 winover Eastern Washington at Cheney, gave the Wildcats a 7-4 record and the league title. Their secondgame was rained out. Whitworth, now 7-5, is asking for the game to be made up, a Central loss wouldgive the Pirates a share of the lead and an opportunity for a playoff. The Vikings ended with a 14-10overall mark and a 6-6 conference slate. Don Balke turned in another magnificent pitching performance in the first game, holding Whitworth scoreless for 9 2/3 innings before a two-out single by Paul Jelinekscored Bob Slater who had doubled. Viking outfielder Pete Johnson made a perfect throw to the plateattempting to nab Jelinek, but catcher Kevin Miller dropped the ball in the resulting collision at homeplate. The run snapped a string of 24 consecutive shutout innings by Balke. Balke was in trouble onnumerous occasions as he walked seven and allowed six hits, while striking out seven. In only oneinning did Whitworth fail to get a runner as far as second as they left 12 runners on base. Twice thePirates stranded a runner on third, once in the first inning and again in the ninth. Meanwhile Pirate starter Rod Taylor was even more stingy before being relieved by Tom Beall with two out in the ninth. In his 82/3 inning stint Taylor struck out 10, giving up only three hits and two walks. He was in trouble onlytwice. In the third inning Viking outfielder Bruce Maupin led off with a triple, but Taylor came back tostrike out Mike Wheat and Balke and force Keith Reynvaan to ground out. In the ninth inning RockyJackson doubled with two out and advanced to third on a wild pitch. But Beall relieved and struck outDick Merenda. Neil Crawford, in his first mound appearance since a severe ankle sprain three weeksago, hooked up with Whitworth's Rick Hansen in another mound duel in the second game. Western took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth inning when Ron Porterfield lofted an opposite field home run over theleftfield fence. The Pirates scored two in their half of the fourth to go in front 2-1. The Vikings tied it in the fifth when Crawford scored on a bases-loaded ground out by Porterfield. The inning ended on a long flyout by Jackson, who backed Whitworth outfielder Don Ressa to the fence with two Vikings on base.Crawford pitched out of a bases-loaded, two-out situation in the sixth inning. In the eighth Rick Bravoopened with a double, advanced to third on a sacrifice and scored on a long fly by Walt Livingston. As inthe first game, Johnson made a fine throw attempting to get Bravo, but Miller had the ball knocked fromhis glove as he lunged for the fleet-footed Pirate at the plate. Big Discounts!

It is time that we at Western Washington State College find some way to express ourconcern without abrogating our responsibilities as a public institution. And this is not an easy course tochart. As President of Western Washington State College, I believe strongly that we must not ignore thisgreat problem, and I feel it necessary that some appropriate course be found. Today I have m ---------- Western Front - 1970 May 6 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Wednesday, May 6, 1970 Western Front photo by King friction builds Mike PinchWestern Front staff O p p o s i t i o n to U.S. involvement in Cambodia continued to build in the wake ofthe violence at Kent State University that left 4 students dead and 11 wounded. Secretary Melvin Lairdcame out in strong opposition to Nixon's decision to send U.S. ground forces into Cambodia. Sen.Richard S. Schweiker (Penn.-R.) said, "Cambodia isn't worth it. Our fragmented society can't affordanother useless war." There is no European support for the U.S. Cambodian offensive, according to Don Cook, European correspondent for the Los Angeles Times. All the schools and universities of SouthVietnam have been shut down indefinitely by President Thieu for fear of protest. A reported 114 colleges and universities have started to strike following the National Student Association's call for a shutdownof universities throughout the nation to protest Nixon's action. The stock market plummeted to its lowestpoint since August of 1963. The presidents of 37 colleges and universities, among them some of thenation's most prestigious institutions, joined in urging Nixon to bring a rapid end to American militaryinvolvement in Southeast Asia. Among the signers were the presidents of Columbia, Princeton,Cornell, Notre Dame, D a r t m o u t h , Stanford, Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins, Amherst, Antioch andSwarthmore. Meanwhile 2,000 Ohio national guardsmen are keeping Kent State University under martial law as the remaining few students leave the campus dejected and angry over the killings of four of theirfellow students. Convention condemns violence The AS Spring Convention last night urgently requested Gov. Dan Evans to call an emergency session of the State Legislature to discuss the protection of state citizens from national repression. Three other resolutions were passed before the convention moved torecess until next Tuesday to allow participants to devote their time to the student strike. The convention resolved to go on record in full support of College President Charles Flora's stand on the invasion ofCambodia and the tragedy at Kent State University, along with his support of student efforts to voicetheir opposition. Thousands in Red Square denounce war, deaths Jim Bromley Western Front staffU.S. government action in Cambodia and the shooting deaths of four Kent State University students byNational Guardsmen Monday are symptoms of a "nervous breakdown," according to Bernie Weiner,Northwest Free University coordinator. Weiner's remarks came during a rally attended by almost 2,000students in Red Square yesterday afternoon. The rally followed a student government decision to call athree-day strike of classes to protest the Cambodian war and Kent State shootings. "When agovernment goes insane, it is our responsibility to restore sanity," Weiner said. "We should be carefulnot to direct our actions against the college, but against the Vietnam war," Greg Baker, AS president,warned. "We don't want to burn it down, but use it get people turned on against the war," he said.Baker read a statement issued by the AS Cabinet, Inter-Hall Council and the People AgainstRepression, which called for a "cessation of all normal campus activities, accompanied bydiscussionsâ€”large and smallâ€”of the crisis we face." A statement issued by President Charles Flora(see p. 1) was also read. The Rev. Bill Sodt, campus minister of the Campus Christian Ministry, lebeled the present "madness" in the country the result of fear. , The minister called for a quiet and prayerfulprotest against government action in Cambodia. "Let's not fight our battles as the war mongers do," hesaid. Additionally, it was resolved to send a letter of sympathy to the student body of Kent StateUniversity for the loss of four anti-war students killed by national guardsmen there Monday. A finalresolution called for a cessation of all campus activities in support of the strike, an organized appeal tothe community to join campus anti-war activities, and a campaign to inform elected officials of student,staff and faculty disapproval of the a lt;irninistration's move. President Flora, in an opening address tothe convention last night, said that he could not understand the deaths of the four Kent State students."No building can be worth a life and no life can be worth that of another," he charged. Flora said that hewould work through the laws in an attempt to sway the views of national leaders by telling them to savethis country and telling them how. The college president remarked that he prayed that President Nixonhas' "wisdom beyond that which I can see." He added that he still loves his country and views theAmerican flag with respect.

Wedeplore violence, be it on our American college campuses or in a Vietnamese or Cambodian village. Wedeplore the situation in our nation which leaves us as individuals feeling impotent, confused, threatenedand angry. We deplore our government's loss of credibility due to its inconsistency of statement andaction, and our nation's loss of credibility due to her role as a world policeman. We pledge our support torational and firm action to change this situation. We support the day of mourning proposed by theAssociated Student Cabinet. We support all efforts to communicate the need for immediate and explicitchange to prominent local, state and national leaders. We further are prepared to act on the problems aswe perceive them with educational action on our own campus and in the Bellingham community. We wish to work with and for concerned members of the community, be they faculty, staff or students, on theserious problems at hand.

Kuder Tim Douglas Keith Guy Jerry Brock Melissa QueenWestern Front photo by King Western Front photo by Woodland An editorial The murder of four KentState University anti-war demonstrators by panicking Ohio national guardsmen Monday brought us alla little closer together. Hundreds of students crossed political lines here yesterday and joined hands inan impressively unified non-violent protest against the escalated Southeast Asia War and the repressionof those who- disagree with the administration's madness. This unification under a non-violent bannerwill bring us closer to our objective of world peace and free expression much faster than the burning of athousand ROTC buildings or the stoning of a million policemen. The tension is hanging in the air likeozone before a thunderstorm. But we must not allow violence to replace local peaceful protests in thenext few days. There has been too.much violence already. While some classes here will be conducted as usual this week, it. is hoped that every concerned member of this college community will take part insome of the discussions and rallies. It is difficult to describe the sight of several hundred ordinarystudents sitting on the north and southbound lanes of a major freeway, blocking traffic in protest of asickening war and the senseless death of four fellow students. This nation is indeed in sad shape whenits citizens must resort to this type of protest in order to attract attention to their deep concern for human lives. The time has arrived when all of us must join together to end war and repression. Let's hope thatour government will respond with the same level of sincerity which is being demonstrated here inBellingham. John Stolpe Western protests non-violent so far Campuses throughout the United Statesare protesting President Nixon's decision to send troops into. Cambodia. Western is no different. Butwhere . many other colleges and universities have had protests resulting in violence and killings,Western has notâ€”so far. Western's involvement in a n t i - w a r - i n - C a m b o d i a demonstrationsstarted when the AS Cabinet decided to call for a strike on all classes and AS activities beginning today. Nearly 2,000 students rallied in Red Square yesterday to approve the move. About 500 of the students marched down Indian Street after the rally to block the four lanes of Interstate Five at the Lake way Drive underpass. The highway was effectively blocked by 4:15 p.mâ€ž and cars backed up nearly a mile.Bellingham Police and Whatcom County Sheriffs rerouted traffic through town from the Samish overpassto the State Street interchange. Motorists stranded on the Motorists back closure Bob Burnett editor-in-chief Adele Saltzman copy editor The successful blocking of Interstate Five by students protestingU.S. involvement in Cambodia was met with approval by the very persons the demonstration affectedmost directly-the motorists who were del;: ye Approximately 25 of the rnanv motorists v/ere asked what they thought about Western students blocking the highway. A majority of the motorists approved."Other than being delayed, I don't mind it at all," one driver said. "Nobody seems to be getting anyattention by any other way." Another motorist said, "I agree with the motives, but I don't feel thatblocking this highway is the means to achieve your goals." At least one motorist was against thedemonstration. "In my opinion, you won't solve a damn thing. When you get to be my age you will seewhat I mean. You all ought to be in Russia or someplace." A woman driver returning home from worksaid. "I kin da agree with you kids. 1 don't think Nixon had any right sending troops into Cambodia."Another woman said, "it is making those of us who are forced to wait on the highway feel the samefrustration that you feel. It is the same frustration that we all have with our government. It is a veryeffective way to protest." "These kids have a point, but they ought to let someone else talk for achangeâ€”they're . not .perfect," one woman said. A n o t h e r m o t o r i st s y m p a t h i z e d with the demonstrators, "I can see your point, something's gotta be done and it's gotta be done pretty fast." Atone point during the blockage, an ambulance was allowed to pass through the crowd. The ambulancestopped after being let through, and the driver was asked what his intention in running the blockadewas. "We were just making a dry run," he said. He wanted to make sure there would be no troublegetting through in case of an emergency. "Some steps must be taken. This might make people stopand think," one man stopped by the demonstrators said. Then after looking around at the lineup of carshe added, "at, least it made them: stop." freeway backtracked to the nearest exit. Protestors left theLakeway blocking point a few moments after 6 p.m. and marched down the freeway to where city, c o un t y and state law enforcement officers waited. AS President Greg Baker attempted to thank theleaders of the lawmen for their non-involvement, but met with a curt "no comment," from a WashingtonState Patrol captain. Activities at Western continue today with a rally in Red Square at 11 a.m., acommunity" crisis teach-in during the three-day class strike and a rally downtown on Friday. Baker said he would attempt to obtain a permit for Friday's rally, but a spokesman for the city noted that any suchpermit must be passed by the Bellingham Board of Public Works. That board regularly meets onMonday and there is conjecture as to whether a special meeting will be called. After yesterday's freeway blocking and in view of the non-involvement stand taken by law enforcers, there probably will be a rallyFriday, with or without a permit. Friday has also been named a "Day of Mourning" for U.S. soldierskilled in Cambodia since U.S. troops entered that country and for the four persons killed Monday at Kent State University in Ohio. Students are asked to wear black clothing on Friday. A resolution to postponethe Spring Quarter Nominating Convention was overwhelmingly approved at last night's meeting. TheConvention has been rescheduled to take place next week.

A gray-haired mother of two college students called the Kent State incident "a dreadfulthing," and added "the national guardsmen shouldn't have fired on the students." In response to thestudent strike, she said, "I don't believe that the strike will solve anything." A clerk in a department store remarked, "things like those that happened at Kent State are inevitable. Events keep building up untilthere's bound to be shooting. I do believe, however, that national guardsmen should be called oncampuses to maintain order." Asked whether he favored the college strike, he said, "I feel that collegestrikes are okay as long as they are orderly." A construction worker said, "I would favor the collegestrike, because it could possibly wake up some people in our government, and would show our politicalleaders the dissention in our land." A man had this view, "I don't blame the kids for striking." He added,"before they lock up the kids, they should lock up the politicians who have caused the problems." There were other viewpoints expressed, for instance, one lady commented, "I'm not for any of this that's goingon. When children are at home I expect Western Front photo by Woodland State colleges plan strikesJohn Stolpe managing editor Almost every state college and university will be involved this week in amass student strike over U.S. involvement in Cambodia and the recent murder of four students at KentState University in Ohio by National Guardsmen. Here is the latest report of some state campusactivities related to the national campus strike: University of Washington: a joint planning meetingbetween the ASUW Student Mobilization Committee and the Seattle Liberation Front produced thefollowing, demands: 1. ROTC must be removed from the campus immediately. The building must bemade a memorial to the students killed at Kent State University. The building must be turned over tostudents as a peace activity cente . 2 Military recruiting must be pern: :nently ended on campus. â€¢ 3. The university must cancel all Department of Defense contiacts. 4. All relations with Brigham YoungUniversity must be suspended immediately. (The committee had not explained tliis kst demand by press time.) Washington State University: A Peace Coalition group issued the following demands at a noonrally at WSU yesterday: 1. The university must issue a statement condemning the killing of four KentState University students earlier this week. 2. The university must condemn the use of National' Guardtroops on any campus. 3 . The u n i v e r s i ty administration should call a general strike on campusWednesday (today). 4. The university should condemn U.S. action in Cambodia. Eastern WashingtonState College: An attempt is being made by student leaders to organize a general strike for tomorrowand Friday centered around the Kent State University violence. Central Washington State College: Ageneral student strike has been called for Friday, and has been endorsed by the student legislature. The Faculty Senate there is split over a decision to support the campus-wide strike. Seattle CommunityCollege: A strike was called for noon yesterday by student leaders. them to behave and in school theyshould behave also." A man, probably in his 70's, said, "I think the students are wrong. They took lawinto their own hands and got shot for it." A man in a barber shop added, "those who live by the sword,die by the sword. With disorders involving police somebody is going to get it. As long as there are mobsthere will be mob violence." Another woman who hadn't apparently been keeping up with her currentevents said, "I haven't heard anything about it! All I get is one station." Finally, a smiling lady who. saidshe was from Canada remarked, "I think it is pretty awful. It should not be." In closing she added, "Come to Canada. Western Front photo by Woodland Students nix Nixon Robin Courtwright Western Frontstaff Jim Diedrick Western Front staff Students polled yesterday in the wake of President Nixon'srecent Cambodian thrust overwhelmingly opposed the move. The same students voiced their support ofa campus-wide strike today through Friday, to demonstrate against the escalation of the IndoChineseconflict. Bill Little, Black Student Union steering committee member, is afraid of Chinese involvement."There is a possibility that Red China might retaliate if we continue , these aggressive tactics," he said.Dave Friesen, sophomore, compared Nixon's decision to Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939. He supports the strike, but feels there must be a better way of protesting. "Something definitely must be done." headded. Ralph Jones, a sophomore transfer student, supports the strike, but said "it's too bad it took four dead to bring it about." He was referring to the four Kent State University students killed during violence on that campus Monday. Dave Pevear, assistant professor of geography, said he supported the strikebut didn't want to force it on anyone. He said he might cancel regular classes, but would reschedulethem for a later date. "Nixon is trying to induce an Anglo-Saxon capitalistic system on peasants," TedBoss, Environmental Quality Council chairman, said. Diana Timm, senior psychology major, believesthat a strike against the school doesn't seem to be the answer, though something has to be done.Randy Wesley, a freshman sociology major, thinks that Nixon is starting another Vietnam. "It's nothurting Nixon by stopping classes, it's hurting students who are supposedly here to get an academiceducation," said Jill Stephenson, junior speech major. Doug Gill, freshman, thinks that the war muststop. "War doesn't get man anywhere." He said he has begun to wonder if the United States is theaggressor. Western Front photo by Woodland

Essentially, two basic reasons theCouncil rejected this section are: -The Curriculum Commission has not shown that its proposed curricular reorganization will in itself either reduce institutional costs or further the educational function of thecollege. â€”This reorganization is not supported by the faculty. Other reasons include responses fromfaculty who used terms like, "vague," "obscure," "difficult to implement," and "hostile to specialization," in describing the reorganization plan. Responses to other areas of the report are both fewer and relativelymore affirmative, the paper said. The council said: -The semester system deserves consideration. -Thenew grading proposal is not vigorously opposed. (The Academic Council has an ad-hoc committee looking into the proposed grading revision.) -An inquiry into the reduction of "over-lapping" courses is desirable.-Credit by examination should be extended-a change "long overdue." The Academic Council said that ifjudged desirable, these proposals could be implemented in the existing departmental system. "If majorchanges seem called for and justified, these should be made a few at a time and in an experimentalspirit," the statement said. The Council accepted the final position paper with only one dissenting vote,that of Bob Snyder, senior student member. The Council's ad-hoc committee on the commission's reportnoted that it had received only a few comments from students. It said, however, that their slight samplesuggests that students are generally more favorable toward the reorganization than the faculty, regardingit as "more fluid and adaptable to the crossing of departmental lines." On the other hand, some studentsfeel it may hamper their vocational or professional preparation, the committee said. The AcademicCouncil statement took exception to a letter accompanying the commission report that stated a need to"restore adaptability to the curriculum." The Council cited several changes enacted recently: -Physicaleducation dropped as a requirement. -Optional status of minors as a requirement for graduation. -Number of credits for graduation reduced from 192 to 180. -Concept of interdisciplinary student-faculty designedmajors approved in principle with a Student-Faculty Major Committee to be established. And thestatement suggested several more changes to be considered. This final statement was drafted by thecouncil's Ad-hoc Committee on the Curriculum Report consisting of Henry Adams, professor ofpsychology, chairman; Joseph Crook, chairman of the Chemistry Department; Philip Montague, assistantprofessor of philosophy; and Judy West, senior English major from Kirkland. The committee wasassisted by Edwin Clapp, professor emeritus of English.

Voterswill have a chance to decide: â€”If they are for or against the Daugert Proposal. â€”Whether they wouldlike a 5 per cent cash discount or a cash rebate system in the bookstore. â€”Whether they like theCurriculum Commission Report. â€”Whether they support students who refuse to pay the 10 per centfederal excise tax on their phone bills. -Whether they approve of the People's Peace Treaty passed bythe AS Legislature. On the Daugert Proposal, a plan that would completely restructur collegegovernment, voters will be asked to mark their ballots for or against the change. After the votes arecounted, the AS Legislature will consider results from the bookstore rebate question to binding onbookstore policy next year, and the legislature will inform the Bookstore Board. On the CurriculumCommission Report, three choices will be given to voters; approve, disapprove, or don't have enoughinformation: Is the refusal to pay the 10 per cent federal excise tax on phone bills "a reasonable and justact of civil disobedience in protest of the unjust war in Indochina?" is another question voters will beasked to answer. The People's Peace Treaty, as approved by the AS Legislature, says in part: "Be itknown that the American and Vietnamese people are not enemies. The war is carried out in the names of the people of the United States and Vietnam but without our consent." The treaty goes on to state thatthe United States should agree to total and immediate withdrawal from Vietnam and ensure the right of th e South V i e t n a m e s e p e o p l e to self-determination. Voters will be asked to express theiragreement or disagreement with this document. Legislature Votes Down Front Editorial Censure ByDAN BENCKENDORF Front Reporter The AS Legislature split Tuesday over whether the Western Frontshould be instructed to refrain from endorsing any candidate in today's general election. AS LegislatorChuck Broches introduced a resolution that would inform Editor John Stolpe that the legislaturecondemned use of the editorial page to further the cause of any particular candidates. Legislator DougBaker opposed the resolution, saying that if candidates cannot handle themselves in the face of criticism, "they shouldn't be in office." Despite his opposition, the legislature adopted the motion by a 6 to 5 votewith two abstentions. Speaker Mary Watts gave the gavel to AS Legislator Libby Bradshaw and movedfor reconsideration. The original vote was overturned by a 6 to 4 vote with three abstentions. Tuition Must Increase Legislator Rich Hass said that AS President Steve Cooper intends to endorse a candidate. "Idon't think the legislature should mess with editorial prerogative." In other business: The legislatureapproved a bill asking President Charles Flora and the Faculty Council to grant immunity for studentswho miss class due to their participation in the May 5 peace observances. The request said that thestudents who do miss assignments will be held responsible for their completion. Flora had turned downa previous proposal regarding the moratorium, and it w^s generally believed that if the faculty approved,Flora might reconsider his previous decision. Hass suggested that the legislature meetings be held onlyonce a month instead of weekly. Baker disagreed, saying: "With everything going on, it would be tragic to stop the frequency of the meetings." $2 Billion State Budget in Legislative Committee By JIM AUSTINCopy Editor The fate of the $2 billion state budget for the 1971-73 biennium rests with the Senate-HouseConference Committee, according to Mike Barnhart, assistant to the college president. The six-membercommittee has been trying for the past two weeks to resolve the disagreements between the House andSenate versions. Sen. R. Frank Atwood (R-Bellingham) said Monday that the budget has to be acceptedby May 10, the last day of the special session. "The governor has announced he will not call anotherspecial session," Atwood told the Front in la/telephone conversation. The Senate GOP caucus leadersaid that the committee hopes to give the budget to the governor sometime today, but added: "We won'tgive it to him until we have resolved the four major areas of disagreement." The four areas ofdisagreement are kindergarten through grade 12 of public education, public assistance, retirement andmiscellaneous items, Atwood said. Gov. Daniel J. Evans said last week that he had asked thecommittee to take another look at amendments calling for a reductioni in salaries of state employeesearning more than $15,000 and to restore the allocations for libraries. Sen. Fred Dore (D-Seattle)recommended that the appropriation for Wilson Library be cut by $323,000 but the Senate Ways andMeans Committee only chopped $162,000. Evans said last Friday in a press conference at Western that it would be difficult to veto one portion of the budget without throwing it out of balance. The stateconstitution prohibits operating on a deficit budget. "I am doing everything I can to get Western asequitable a budget as possible in view of the state's financial crisis," the governor said. TUITION BILLMUST PASS Atwood said that passage of the tuition bill is essential. "If it doesn't pass, the highereducation is going to find itself minus another $20 million," he said. The House and Senate both passedversions based on the assumption that an increase in tuition would be made. The increase bill, still inthe House, would increase tuition at the state colleges to $149 per quarter next year and $169 perquarter for the 1972-73 academic year. College President Charles J. Flora has called any tuitionincrease "an unfortunate form of taxation on students." Atwood said that failure to pass the tuitionincrease bill would add an additional burden on the colleges since the colleges' budgets have a built-inlocal revenue from tuition and fee collections. ---------- Western Front - 1971 April 30 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, April 30, 1971 Western Front 3 candidates present platforms Five Legislative Positions Up forGrabs Only two legislator's names will appear on the AS general elections ballot today though fivepositions are open. John VanPeopeghem, freshman political science major from Bellevue and SueEickmeyer, freshman political science major from Spokane, are the two official candidates for ASlegislature. As a service to our readers we are including the statements from those write-in candidateswho have offered their platforms for publication. Sue Eickmeyer "Basically, I'm interested in studentgovernment and serving the students in the most direct way I can," Sue Eickmeyer said. MissEickmeyer said her main concern lies in academic and student welfare and thinks the legislature shouldact as a body to see that academics are relevant. "I feel that the Curriculum Report has served apurpose in that it has got the academic community considering curricular change. Concerning specificslike grading, semester system and the relevancy of education itself has made people willing to re-evaluate whether we're on the right track," she said. She does not think the AS Legislature should beabolished, at least, "not until we find something better to replace it with." "There are possibilities thatcan be brought out in the writing of a new constitution. This is something I'd like to see completed," shesaid. Student government, she said, should make more of an attempt to inspire more studentinvolvement, although she is not sure, at this time, how that can be accomplished. "A legislator has todeal in many areas and it's a matter of working with others to bring about specific changes," she said.Puget Sound Oil Spill John Van Paepeghem Unsatisfied with the present legislation, John VanPaepeghem has filed his candidacy for one of the vacant legislative positions. Van Paepeghem feels hecould utilize his experience in dorm government and make the most of the power of the legislature. VanPaepeghem wants more communication between the student government and the students in the form of circulars explaining what is happening in the legislature. He also wants the minutes of legislativemeetings posted so the college community can keep up with their activities. In the area of academicreform, Van Paepeghem is strongly in favor of the Curriculum Commission Report. Some form ofacademic reform is seriously needed at Western, he said. "Students should have a fair shake at runningthings," Van Paepeghem said, commenting on the Daugert Proposal. There are enough students around who are qualified to make good decisions about changes which involve students themselves. ChuckBroches Chuck Broches feels that after being appointed legislator for a quarter and sitting on a fewcommittees, his involvement will make him a good legislator. According to Broches, a restructuredstudent government that breaks down the three main government departments i n t o a cohesive groupwith administrative, executive and legislative powers combined, would be more efficient. Commenting on the purpose of the AS Legislature, Broches thinks that student government should constantly look forchange in the student body, citing the Defense Department on campus questionnaire as an example.Considering the academic reform issue, Broches said, "not necessarily reform such as the CurriculumCommission Report but some change is needed." More student interest and much more communication between student government and the student body is the first step toward a more effective government,Broches said. Gary Duvall Students would best be represented by a student union, a serviceorganization, rather than student government in its present form, Gary Duvall said. Duvall feels that themajority of the students are not interested in student government, and are here for an education only.The Daugert Proposal would establish power where it should be, Duvall said, distributed throughout thecollege community. Student government now is not efficient, as it duplicates many services which couldbe combined, said Duvall. I would like to see more communication between the student government andthe student body, Duvall said; they should let the people know what is going on and what they are doing. A volunteer student service organization would require those who wish to participate to pay dues andthese alone would benefit from the services, Duvall explained. Duvall also wants credit given for ASpositions instead of payment. "Giving credit is like paying, but in a more meaningful way," Duvall added.Dave Friesen "I want to work for things that effect students right now, such as academic reform andecology," Dave Friesen a write-in candidate for the AS Legislature said. Friesen believes that the college should start "cleaning up its own back yard." "I am very much in favor of Larry Diamond's recyclingefforts on campus," he said. "I am very much interested in starting areas of recycling on campusâ€”such as dorms." He said that he has contact with laundry services which do not use phosphates. Friesenbelieves that to a certain degree the AS Legislature does not represent the students. "Too often in thepast, the legislators have gone off in tangents that do not represent the majority of students and that donot have an immediate effect on students," he said. "Primary concerns of Legislature should be on whatconcerns us right now." Friesen does not believe that the Legislature should be abolished. "It isimportant for students to have a voice in running this school," he said. "The AS Legislature as electedrepresentatives of the students, should be there to do this." Paul King Paul King, a write-in candidate for AS Legislator, said he looks at the legislature as a coordinator for all student services and the bargaining agent for the student body. "I also believe the legislature should be concerned with over-all nationalpolicies and issues," he said. His six-plank platform calls for: â€”Support of the Daugert Proposal for anall-campus government. "The students will have as much representation as they have now and we will be working directly with the faculty." â€”A pay raise for students working on campus. â€” A re-evaluation of student government for proposals for reform or restructure. "The big question is will student governmentbe around next year and if so, in what form?" â€”Maintenance and expansion of existing student services such as drug information, sex information and legal aids. â€”Continuing action to protest the IndochinaWar. King was instrumental in organizing the Everett Community College chapter of Student Mobilization Committee before transferring to Western. â€”A longer and closer look at parts of the CurriculumCommission Report. "In some areas the proposal could be implemented in a short time, but other areasneed more study," he said. King was also one of the organizers of the Everett CC Ecology Club. Oil-Soaked Ducks Find Friend in Man Volunteers Offer Assistance By JOHN STOLPE Editor GUEMESISLAND-A tired teen-aged girl sits on the cold basement floor of a summer cabin with an oil-soaked duckin her lap. She is drying its wet feathers with a hair dryer. She is trying to save its life. Monday night'sdiesel oil spill at a nearby Texaco refinery dock brought scores of people-mostly young and long-haired-to this island in a compassionate effort to help save the thousands of birds who were contaminated as theyellow-brown slick spread over a five-mile-wide stretch of Rosario Strait. By Tuesday evening the deadbird toll had reportedly soared to about 1,000. A dozen youthful members of the Seattle Wild Bird Clinicquickly set up a bird-cleaning station in the basement of the Phil McCracken cabin on the north end ofthis scenic island. Wallace Wilson, secretary for the bird clinic, (shown in photo at right) points to several cardboard boxes filled with dead birds and in his disgusted voice says, "This is just the top of what wefear will be an iceberg." As he showed us through the cleaning station, an elderly lady come to offer foodfor the workers. Bands of scouts, school teachers, students and others searched the small island'scoves and inlets for troubled birds, but as one girl explained: "The wild ones who are slow enough tocatch are the ones who won't make it." The birds were taken to the cleaning station where they werewashed with bio-degradable soap and water, dried with a hair dryer under a heat lamp, and given tenderloving care by several kids who stopped by to help. Several Seattle seaplane pilots flew up to the islandTuesday and transported the feathery survivors to the clinic's Kent headquarters. There the birds mustwait six months to one year until the natural oil in their feathers is replaced when they molt. Water fowlcan drown without natural oil water repellancy. Wilson, a freelance artist, said it was "pitiful" that thebirds had to be penned up for so long before being released. "It wasn't their fault," he said. Traces ofdiesel oil have been observed as far north as Lummi Island near Bellingham. Lopez Island was apparently hard hit by the slick also. The bird clinic's workers planned to move to that island after cleaning upGuemes. Tugboats hired by Texaco and United Transportation Co., owners of the barge from which thediesel was accidentally spilled, spread a special oil abatement chemical in the channel, but windshampered their operation. Lt. Cmdr. Chris Hageseth, a flight surgeon at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, explained that the birds killed by the oil died of pulmonary edema with fluid accumulation in the lungs."The birds died in the same manner as children die who accidentally drink kerosene," he said.Meanwhile, several newspapers in the Skagit County area down-played the 5,000 barrel spill. Onenewspaper even charged that spill story was exaggerated.

" To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" McConkey, Watts The editorial board of this newspaper gives its unanimous and unqualifiedendorsement to the campaigns of Joe McConkey for AS president and Mary Watts for AS vice presidentin today's important election. Based on our observations of their campaigns, their extensive experiencein student government, and the direction and quality of their platforms, we are confident both of them arebest qualified to provide a p r o g r e s s i v e student government administration next year.

We encourage our readers to draw theirown conclusions and then join us at the polls today. Anti-War Protest A 19-year-old draftee fromPhiladelphia grabbed my arm several years ago and pointed to an old woman with a young child in herarms. She was standing in the doorway of her mud-thatched hut and waved up to our 100-knot helicopter gunship as we glided over the serene South Vietnamese countryside. Without a word the youngsergeant flicked off the safety on his M-60 machine gun and calmly killed both of them in a deafeningburst from his handheld weapon. "They're Communists," he explained. "The little brat would have grownup to kill your sons." Contrary to what some of you may believe, atrocities of that caliber arecommonplace in every war, including the Indochina War where 50,000 Americans and countless Northand South Vietnamese have died horrible deaths. Those are reasons enough to end the war. Now. Anational moratorium, in the spirit of the moratorium of 1969, is planned on May 5 in cities and townsacross America including here in Bellingham, as the culmination of the successful spring anti-warmovement. On the anniversary of the strike after the Cambodian invasion, and the killing of six studentsat Kent and Jackson, the movement is trying to bring everyone together-as President Nixon promised and has not done. May 5 will be an excellent time for anti-war supporters to take the People's Peace Treaty to the local townspeople. Ask them to join the hundreds of thousands who have already signed it. Whileno doubt President Nixon will publicly admit that it will not influence him, we believe otherwise. If we can reach the people on May 5 we will not only have a spring movement. We will have a new country.â€”John Stolpe EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: BobTaylor PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss COPY EDITOR: JimAustin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Marie Haugen SPORTS EDITOR: Larry Lemon STAFFREPORTERS: GENERAL ASSIGNMENT:!

BILL SQDT A good and learned friend says it's impossible these days tobe Christian in America. The culture won't let you. Christian behavior, conventional politeness says,should be suffered or ignored. That's not always been true-Jesus they crucified. Some later ones theyburned up. But nowadays they excuse you for ignorance, or they send you to a shrink, or they call you acommunist and hope you'll go away. At Boeing they call it RIF-reduction in force. You're out of a job. InEngland they say you're redundant. You're no longer relevant. Please leave us alone-you bother us-disappear. Alcoholics Anonymous has somthing. Sometimes AA is annoying, pietistic, with its claimthat all evil flows from alcohol. But their statistics are disarming. Alcohol is the apparent cause of muchdeath, crime and family sickness. AA is more to the point with its insistence that no alcoholic is going to recover without admitting that he is an alcoholic, and then calling on the strength of a higher power,administered through the care of a supporting group. Alcoholics resist this kind of ministration, many ofthem, until they've hit the depths. But AA works. Thank God it's there. , Nobody wants to admit he's sick. Neither does any society. Good skin color and blooming health may mask the signs of tuberculosis orsyphilis or cancer, until suddenly the end comes. Telling a patient he's dying is often the hardest task of a feeling physician. After all, kings used to behead the bearer of bad news-he became suddenlyredundant. What is the American syndrome? Indiscriminate military force; hunger; poverty; dissension;drugs; alcoholism; guns; distrust of government and politicians; crime; hatred; political repression; failinginstitutions; inflation; unemployment; unchecked hedonism among the rich'and near rich; waste;ecological disaster; poor medical care; tax revolt; uncertainty in the universities; inter-racial violence;purchase of political power through uncontrolled campaign costs; FBI phone taps; manipulation of peopleby media; divorce; generation gap; tyranny over women, colored â€¢ skin, youth and age; widespreadpornography; political censorship; paranoia in the Department of Justice-sounds like a list St. Paul mighthave written about Corinth, or the prophets about Babylon. That's where we are. The symptoms are sure. * * * * * We could put a bandaid over the greatest suppurating sore, the war in Vietnam. But the cries ofthe veterans and of increasing numbers of eye-opened citizens won't let it happen. Camp David is noretreat from the noise of people. It will reach there yet, and into the White House. Our leaders mustrespond, as some already have. William Stringfellow says everything about America smells of death-anyChristian who does not stand opposed to our present course is apostate frothe faith. I second him. Butour faith says also that there is hope-and that hope lies in turning away from the idolatry of the past to adaring risk of righteousness and justice in the future. We are a dying peopleâ€”but there is life possible ifwe can walk away from what we have been, like Lot, without being immobilized, like his wife, by turningback in longing.

I found them very honest anddirect. The only disgusting part of the evening was the attitude of some in the audience. I sincerely feelthat the panel has contributed towards a healthier attitude on sex. Jim Byrd Senior History ClarifiesStatement Editor: This letter is to correct a reference cited by me in the elementary education divisionm e e t i n g . I erroneously represented Representative McCulloch as a member of the "ScrantonCommission." Instead he was a member of the presidential Commission of Civil D i s o r d e r s ( J o h ns o n 's administration) and also of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence(chaired by Milton Eisenhower). H. Donald Jacobs Reading Center Arabs Intolerant to MinoritiesEditor: With the recent Third World Educational Days, once again attention is centering around theâ€¢plight of the Palestinian refugees. I would like to deal with one aspect of this problem. In the past, the battle cry has been, "Push the Jews into the Sea," but now it has become, " L e t ' s form a democratic Palestine." Part of a pamphlet recently distributed on campus entitled Toward a Democratic Palestinereads: "The Palestinian Revolution has officially adopted the creation of a democratic, non-sectarianstate where Christians, Jews and Moslems can live, work and worship without discrimination as the u l t i m a t e objective of its liberation struggle." In order to fully understand this statement, we have toconsider the Arabs' own history. Just how do they treat minority groups in their own countries? As farback as the times of Mohammed, the Arabs were very intolerant of minority groups especially the Jews,and killed or expelled those that would not convert. Even recently, Jews have suffered harassment,discrimination, arrest and torture in many Arab countries. In Egypt when the Six Day War broke out,the government forced all the Jews remaining in the country to register, and subsequently their homesand property were confiscated. Many men were arrested and tortured in prisons near Cairo andAlexandria. The intercession of foreign governments has forced Egypt to release many of them, butsome 10 per cent still remain in jail. In Syria before the war, the 4,000 Jews in the country weresubjected to night arrest, interrogation, imprisonment, and Jewish merchants had their shops blacklisted by the army. By far the worst treatment has been in Iraq where in 1969, thirteen personsâ€”nine ofwhom were Jewish were publicly hanged for alleged spying. Thousands of Arabs danced in the streetsto celebrate this triumph over "imperialism." Next month, dozens of Jews are due to stand trial withpossible death sentences. However, the Jews are not the only minority group to face persecution.Christians have been emigrating from Egypt and Lebanon because of bad conditions, and the Kurds ofâ€¢Syria and Iraq have also been victimized. On March 15, 1965, the New York Times reported that theIraqis had used bombs, rocket-type artillery and napalm against the Kurdish villages. The most shocking example is in Sudan where the Arab North has been battling the Black South since 1959. It isestimated that 600,000 Blacks have been killed. Sudan has tried to close the South to foreigners, but afew journalists have been able to report that many Sudanese wish to escape. Even the current strugglebetween the Jordanian army and the terrorist refugees shows intolerance. As Golda Meir was promptedto say: " L o o k at what the Jordanians are doing to themselves. If that's how they treat their ownpeople, what would they do to us . . . .?" It is apparent from these examples that if the Arabs were t oestablish their so-called ' - ' D e m o c r a t i c Palestine" conditions would be much the same as theyhave been in the past. How can they say that they want to live in a free state when the facts show thatthey are intolerant of minorities who disagree with them. Alan Sidell Freshman No Major ProposesStudent Auto Shop Editor: Recently, I had occasion to do some minor repairs on my car. Like manystudents, I had to get these things done with the least money and the utmost haste. I inquired in town,but I observed that many gas stations were less than helpful in that they either did not have thenecessary equipment or they wanted more money than I thought feasible to let me use their facilities.The entire sequence of events reminded me of service-related ills I once had. The only difference wasthat I had money then. One of the things-very few things-that the Air Force had that I liked was anetwork of auto hobby shops. They allowed us servicemen to use space, rent tools, and do our ownwork on our cars, bikes and whatever, as long as we didn't abuse the privilege of the shop. These shops were run on a strict basis in that they covered their own interests by creating a system which would notallow any one person to rip off tools or destroy or misuse impliments. The technology department offersspace for auto work. Unfortunately, the space is restricted, and the equipment is scant, although good.What I propose is a long range student services project to o f f e r the students the opportunity to workon their transportation. The project could be accomplished with relatively little cost as long as thestudents would want such a service. Few colleges seem to have this service, but I see no reason tobelieve that such an endeavor is impossible. The space for such an undertaking is available. We haveroom at this school for a small cement block structure which could house space for six to eight mediumsized cars. With this type of climate, we could r u n such an operation year-round. The auto stallswould not have to be enclosed. I suggest a block framework structure which would offer space for lubejobs, timing, battery recharging and small parts repair. Tools can be leased from most manufacturers,and small rates for their rental could place the service on a non-profit but low loss operation. They, thetools, could be kept, insured, in an enclosure adjoining the stalls. To avoid the need of lifts or hydraulichoists, pits could be excavated to allow people to work underneath their cars without the fear that the car would fall due to jack failure. Surely, I would not be around to witness such an i n n o v a t i o n , butfuture generations of students would benefit greatly from this type of student relations. We live in astudent society which is part, and in many respects apart, of Bellingham proper. We cannot and shouldnot remain as we are solely because we have been doing so in the past. Dan Benckendorf JuniorJournalism March Plans Finalized Plans are being finalized for Bellingham's military and civiliandemonstrations May 5, according to AS Vice-President Gary Evans and local anti-war groups. Themarch is a protest against the Vietnam War and the killings at Kent State and Jackson State universities last year. A group is scheduled to depart from the Viking Union at 12:30 p.m. and the march will officially begin at Ennen's Thriftway at 1 p.m. The tentative route proceeds down Holly Street, winds around pastthe Federal Building and the food stamp office, and ends in front of City Hall. At that point, the plansinclude several Â£uest speakers and local entertainment. The Bellingham People's Coalition has madethe following suggestions to marchers: â€” Canned food should be brought for depository at the foodstamp office for needy Bellingham citizens. â€”Musical instruments must be brought to create People'sPeace music. â€”Wear good walking shoes. â€”Bring your animals, flags, balloons and be prepared tostay for the afternoon. Organizers explain they are realistic enough to know that a single march won'tstop the war, but they hope that with the nationwide support, they can put pressure on the Nixonadministration to end it.

O'Neil. So far, 4,498 prospective freshmen and 1,632 prospectivetransfers have applied for admission next fall, compared to 4,501 freshman and 1,501 transfers last year. Of the 4,498 freshman applications, some 1,800 will be accepted, O'Neil said. That is the maximumnumber of new freshmen the college will enroll under limitation guidelines adopted by the Board ofTrustees. Total enrollment for Western is projected at 9,500 for next year, the registrar said. Before hecan quote an exact number, however, he said he needs more information from the Office of ProgramPlanning and Fiscal Management in Olympia. While the Maximum number of students projected at each institution has been based on fall quarter enrollment in the past, O'Neil said that it may be based onyearly average this year. Advance Registration Advance registration for summer session begins Mondayand will run through May 11, Bob Thirsk, assistant director of admissions, said Wednesday.Appointments have been mailed to students who requested them, Thirsk said, and all students shouldkeep the appointment given to them. Thirsk said the ground rules will be the same as in the past, expect that the traditional advisement week is optional to all students including freshmen. In past quartersfreshmen have had to have their blue books signed by their advisor before registering. Advisement isavailable, however, for any who need it or desire it, he added. The deadline for mail-in payment of tuitionis June 4. Tuition has tentatively been set at $149 for full-time students and $20 per credit for thosetaking less than seven credits. Course Descriptions Professors' descriptions of their summer quarterclasses have been compiled and made into four books that will be placed around campus, according toDonald Kjarsgaard, assistant to the dean of Western. Kjarsgaard said that forms were sent to all summer quarter professors on which they could write their own descriptions of the courses, the courseobjectives, the method of reaching these objectives and the methods of evaluation for these courses. Thereturned forms were put together as they were without anyone checking them, Kjarsgaard said. "I didn'teven look over them," he said. "If someone said something half-assed, it'll be in there." The books weremade so students can check the class descriptions to see how a class will be handled so they canregister for the classes that appeal to them, Kjarsgaard said. Copies of the book will be in the referenceroom of the library, in the registrar's office, in the academic advisement office, Old Main 218 and at theVU lounge, Kjarsgaard said. Kjarsgaard said that "if students make use of it," similar books may becompiled for the regular school year. Overseas Study Competition for grants for graduate study orresearch abroad and for professional training in the creative and performing arts will open tomorrow,according to the Institute of International Education (HE). Annually, HE is responsible for the recruitmentand screening of candidates for U. S. government full and travel grants authorized under the Fulbright-Hays Act.

Application forms and information on the grants are available fromGary Lampman, Western's Fulbright Program Advisor, in Haggard Hall 229. Deadline for filing applications is Oct. 15, 1971. Muslim Display The Muslim Students Association (MSA) is sponsoring a display ofIslamic literature and pictures in the Wilson Library display window starting May 2. Jamshid Haghgoo, agraduate student in Economics from Iran and president of MSA, said that Muslims are celebrating thebirth of the prophet Muhammad on May 8, and would like to share the knowledge of Islam with otherstudents. "Islam is not only a religion, but an ideology to guide people's social, political and economiclives," Haghgoo said. "Peace! Islam is peace. In fact, the very meaning of the word in Arabic is 'true andperfect peace,' " he added. Haghgoo explained that every Muslim is a brother to every other Muslim, andthey greet each other with the words "As-Salaamâ€”Aliakum," (peace unto you). "We invite you to studyIslam, the religion with proven principles for the progress and spiritual development of mankind," he said.For further information contact the MSA through he Viking Union desk.

Curmie Price, director of Afro-American Studies; and Vine Deloria Jr., a guestlecturer at the cluster college. Williams will be teaching at Federal City College, Washington, D.C., nextyear in the Department of Communication Sciences. When asked to comment on the College of EthnicStudies at Western, Williams explained that the purpose of Ethnic Studies is to give people a differentperspective on the development of our culture, not as Black or White but as a whole, the total Americanexperience. Price, who will be teaching at Yale next year, feels the College of Ethnic Studies is maturing, and that structural problems have been resolved. "We are beginning to sense the questions that need to be asked and to get to the methods that will allow these questions to be answered," Price said.Commenting on the student role in the Ethnic Studies, Price said: "Students have to have room tochoose what they want, but often they don't know what that is. Maybe they know personally oremotionally, but not ultimately. "I think we should look at things in an historical context and take thatwhich is stable amid this world of endless change and revolve around that stability giving studentsfreedom' on the fringe." Students by their definition are here to learn, but if they know things the teacherdoesn't, then the roles should be reversed or the student should be elsewhere, Price explained. Deloriahas taken a similar approach to his classes this quarter, by giving the student specific information in thebeginning, and allowing the student to develop his reasoning abilities before he is flooded with theory andgeneralizations. Deloria will be joining a public interest law firm next year which presently is engaged inseveral landmark Indian cases,, he said. Students need to define their goals more specifically in theCollege of Ethnic Studies, Deloria said, although he believes the program at Western is one of the best in the country. Problems of World Featured During Development Week Young World Development Week,Monday through Friday, will feature speakers on over-population, ecology and world hunger. A Walk forthe Hungry will climax the week next Saturday. The purpose of the week is to educate people to theproblems of the world and to raise money through the walk to help solve the problems. James Scott,assistant professor of geography, will discuss foreign aid at 1 p.m. Monday in the Viking Union lounge.Herbert Weber, assistant professor at Huxley, will talk about the problems of pollution and offer somesolutions at 11 a.m. Tuesday in the lounge. Gerry Copeland, a representative from Seattle's ZeroPopulation Growth organization will speak at 10 a.m. Wednesday in the lounge. Robert Meade, professor of psychology, will talk about over-population at 11 a.m. Thursday in the Viking Union lounge. "Hungerin America," a CBS news report about hunger problems in American life, in the city and country, will beshown at noon Thursday. The film discusses the problems of food stamps and welfare in relieving hunger. Richard Bishop, lecturer of education, will present a light show about hunger at 7:30 p.m. Thrusday inLecture Hall 4. The show, featuring rock music and several projectors, has been shown in the educationclasses. Howard Harris, associate professor of sociology, will discuss nutrition at 11 a.m. Friday in-theViking Union lounge. The Walk for the Hungry will finish the week on Saturday. Participants will walkalong a 23-mile route around Bellingham, sponsored by backers who pay the walker a certain amount foreach mile walked. The money collected will benefit the Nooksack Indians, the Bellingham Day CareCenter and Guatemalan farmers. Next Year's Applications Down Housing Office Remains HopefulHousing applications for the coming school year are considerably lower than those at this time last year,according to Pete Coy, assistant director of the housing office. . Coy said that from April 16 until thistime last year 779 men and 1,262 women had submitted applications for housing. This year during thesame period only 460 men and 844 women have submitted applications. . . Coy said the housing officewas still optimistic about the number of housing applications they hope to receive. "Over all, things arelooking pretty good, he said. "We don't anticipate any problems. Applications to the school have justbeen coming in slower than usual." , , . .. He attributed the slow-down in applications to the fact thatprospective students may be waiting to see if the tuition will be raised, and if so how much the raise willbe. Coy also said the slow-down might be because students are applying to many colleges and thentaking their pick of those that accept them. In addition to the application decrease, the college will gain404 beds when Housing '71 is finished, Coy said. Coy added that he doesn't see any problem with thecollege winding up with a lot of empty dorm rooms. "I would guess that all the dorms will be full for fallquarter," he explained.

Western Washington State College Bellingham,Washington 676-3460 or 676-5195 I I I I I I I Report "Unsupportive" For Graduate Program By BOBTAYLOR Associate Editor The Graduate Council recently composed a preliminary report on theCurriculum Commission Proposal and concluded that the commission report "is not supportive to thegraduate program." An ad-hoc committee of Graduate Council members conducted the study. Thecommittee gathered its material from discussion by council members, from an open hearing, memoranda from various department chairmen and directors of graduate programs. The committee was composed ofEugene Garber, associate professor of English; Merle Meyer, chairman of the Psychology Department;David Schaub, associate professor of music; Ada Swineford, professor of geology, and James Fralick, agraduate student in biology from Burnaby, B.C. The Graduate Council's report confined itself directly with how the Commission's plan would affect the graduate program. The Council found the proposedreorganization "unfruitful," because the proposed plan would "sweep away . . . the disciplinary anddepartmental substructure of graduate education at Western." The Council added that it doesn't opposeinterdisciplinary study at the undergraduate or graduate level. But it insists that an interdisciplinaryprogram deprived of the expertise of disciplines is not soundly based. FINANCIAL SUPPORT Thecouncil felt that the commission's recommendation that graduate matriculation be limited to thosestudents for whom there is financial support is "unsound." The council said that this would discriminate"against beneficiaries of the GI Bill, central city candidates, persons supported through off-campusagencies, summer school matriculants, and in general any qualified persons who plan to use personalfunds to pursue their education at the graduate level. The council said the immediate effect of this policywould be to reduce Western's graduate population by more than 50 per cent. DOCTORAL PLANNINGThe council was unclear about the commission's distinction between "continue planning" and "implement planning," and the council felt that doctoral planning must be "careful and considered." The council,however, did not favor a moratorium on planning, for it considered the recent action by the legislature inproviding for a doctorate at Western "as much a charge as a privilege." STUDENT EVALUATION Thecouncil applauded the commission's efforts to make evaluation more meaningful to the student. Thecouncil, however, charged that "it would be dangerous to graduate students for whom there is no publicrecord of achievement." The council also applauded the commission on its efforts to rationalizeinstructional loads. The council was not on complete agreement with the Commission's formula that calls for reassignment of instructors and the conversion of courses when 50 per cent is not reached. Thecouncil felt that the final decision must rest with the department, for "only the department can judgewhether a course is of such importance that is justifies an apparently disproportionate investment offaculty time." Many Faculty Reject Report- Did Commission Do Its Job? By JAY ECKERT FrontReporter The Curriculum Commission Report has been rejected by many of the Western faculty. "Thereis a consensus among the faculty that the commission didn't do its job," Raymond McLeod, chairman ofthe Physics Department, said. The Curriculum Commission was charged with recommending better andless costly ways of carrying forward the college's instructional programs. McLeod called the report awaste of time, noting that thousands of faculty man-hours had been spent on it already. J. Joseph Veit,associate professor of physics prepared a response to the report for the Physics Department. Headmitted that the present curriculum had room for improvement, but the necessary improvements couldbe accomplished within the existing structure. Veit noted few indications that the Commission's planwould be better or cheaper. Since we have faculty evaluations of students and student evaluation offaculty, Veit wrote, isn't it about time we had student and faculty evaluation of administrators? A. CarterBroad, chairman of the Biology Department, presented an extensive analysis of the report to the biologyfaculty. He proposed consideration of the various recommendations instead of responding to the report as a whole. The commission's report has little to do with curriculum, Broad wrote, its main proposalsconcern administrative regrouping of the faculty. Broad found the report stimulating in the area ofinterdisciplinary study but disappointing in failing to suggest a reasonably method of implementing itsideas. He felt this was due to the commission's failure-to agree on the mission of Western. The PoliticalScience Department rejected the Curriculum Commission Report unanimously April 5. In a report toPresident Charles Flora April 12 the department gave its reasons for rejection: -The commission report is largely argument by assertion with no evidence that the proposed changes would improve education orsave money. â€” The report's educational goals were questioned by the department. Insufficientconsideration was given to intellectual development by both students and faculty. â€”The proposedchanges were seen as another " m a n i f e s t a t i o n of misapplied engineering mentality" that wouldsomehow improve personal i n t e l l e c t u a l development by structural reorganization. In response toa faculty petition, Flora removed the May â€¢ 1 deadline for response to the report. He further said thereport would not be submitted in any form to the Board of Trustees without faculty approval. Erotic FilmPleases Audience, Theater Owner Defends Porno By MIKE KERR Front Reporter A pornographic filmwas the obvious crowd-pleaser at the opening night of the pornography symposium Tuesday in the Viking Union lounge. Before the guest speakers took the stand a short reel of films was shown. Included werea close-up of a person peeling and eating an orange, a sexy cartoon made by the producer of "WoodyWoodpecker" and a couple of "trailers" from two erotic films. After these were shown Arlene Elster, owner of an erotic theater in San Francisco, announced that a reel of "Intersection," an erotic film starringMary Rexroth who was also speaking at the symposium, would be shown at the conclusion of thatnight's symposium. Loud laughter followed Miss Elster's remark that they would show the film, "If anyone wants to stay ."Nobody moved from the lounge Miss Elster defended pornography saying that it doesn'tcause a rise in the crime rate. She said it also doesn't cause sexual deviance. .-.' '.'A" rapis.t.doesn'tâ€¢picikthK wrong film to see," she said, "he picked the wrong mother." Miss Elster pointed out that theSupreme Court's definition of obscenity was that the subject must appeal only to prurient interest and be utterly without redeeming social value to be considered obscene. She said that this wording was "vague" and left a lot of leeway as to what could be done. Later in the evening she said that pornographic movies "don't need redeeming social value. If it's entertaining, that's value enough." Miss Rexroth said that mostpeople think organized crime is influential in the production of pornographic films but emphasized that itis not. Miss Elster said she has "never met anyone in organized crime." Jan Werner, producer of eroticfilms, said that nobody makes big money in pornographic films and the other two panelists agreed. MissElster said that the theater owners make the most money, but that still isn't very much money. MissRexroth said an average hour-long sex film costs $5,000 to make. Werner pointed out that the averagetelevision commercial costs about $16,000.'

Ralph Atkins, a political science major at Washington State University, told an audience ofabout 100 students and faculty that the time for the revolution will not be "until the people are ready."The pig knows that. That is why he is planting agent provocateurs in revolutionary groups to encouragepremature action. Every time someone blows up a building, the revolution is set back," he said in a ThirdWorld Educational Days speech. In order to make the revolution successful each Third World group must get its own people together and educate themselves as individual groups he said. He urged that those in favor of the revolution learn something practical so that they would have something to contribute whenthe time comes. "We are going to need all kinds of skills to help make the revolution a success. We'regoing to need electrical engineers to set up radio stations. "We're going to need metallurgists to makebullets and gun barrels for us. We can't be sending people out all the time to rip off supplies and havethem getting shot up," he said. "We'll need doctors and even psychologists. There are going to be injured minds as well as injured bodies." He continually returned to the theme of each group educating itself."Blacks need to establish their own identities in order to find their freedom. They need to form their ownpluralities before they can liberate themselves." He told the mostly White audience that they need to find their identities and raise their own revolutionary consciousness. "Don't rap to me or other Blacks aboutthe revolution. Rap among yourselves. Blacks talk better to Blacks than they do to Whites. "I don't havetime for White liberals. I do have time for White revolutionaries, though," he said. The news media areputting a lot of people in plastic bags, he said. "There are too many plastic revolutionaries who go out on the street and march up and down, up and down, then go home and dig 'Mod Pig.' " He said that thenews media put a plastic revolutionary on the television, and "if you identify with him, you're puttingyourself in a life-style, not a life." "You're living something that's not real, something that's fiction. "Themedia are not going to help liberate people. They're making money and that means they're going tocontinue suppression," he said. What the revolutionary movement does not need is a lot of White plasticrevolutionaries. "If you put your head in a plastic bag long enough, you'll suffocate and revolutionariesdon't have time for people like that." If the revolution is to succeed when the time comes, the minoritygroups will have to educate themselves beforehand. "Go out and get a little Marx," he said. "Get a littleMao." Western Prof Sees Whites as 'Hostile and Bloodthirsty9 Professor Wilfred C. Wasson, director ofIndian Studies at Western, characterized Whites as "hostile and bloodthirsty" in a speech Tuesdayafternoon in the Viking Union lounge. Wasson noted that those terms were used by Whites to describeIndians and to justify killing Indian women and children in massacres at Wounded Knee and Sand Creek. Many Whites were sympathetic to the Indian cause, Wasson said, because it was popular, and thatIndians were "a little less reprehensible than Blacks." "You are not Americans, but European," Wassonsaid. As Europeans, Whites have a long and bitter history of violence. Wasson contrasted this hostilitywith the Indian desire for peace. "Our enemies were always distant people, never neighboring tribes. Thismade warring difficult. We abhor1, violence," Wasson said. The decimation of the Indians at the hands of the Whites was deserved, Wasson said. "We turned from the ways of peace and fought, and werealmost wiped out. We deserved this." Wasson stressed the immortality of the Indian. "We won't evenremember that the White Man passed through our country." If the Whites are to become true Americans, they have to live with man and nature instead of competing with them, Wasson said. Bernie Thomas,President of Western's American Indian Student Union, also spoke, calling for separate draft status forIndians. m $ VISIT THE NEW ENLARGED CAttffG Doctor's Bag By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D.QUESTION: My husband and I have decided to start a family and I would like to know if there is anaccurate way to determine when one is ovulating. Before I began taking the pill I had a rather irregularmenstrual cycle, but on the average it was every 30 days. So much emphasis is put on contraceptionthat I imagine very few women are really sure when they can get pregnant if they want to if theirmenstrual cycle is other than 28 days. ANSWER: Menstruation begins approximately 14 days following ovulation. The interval between ovulation and the beginning of menstruation is rather constant for eachwoman. I n situations where the menstrual cycle varies in duration, it is the interval from the beginning of menses to ovulation that accounts for the variation. Therefore, if a woman has a menstrual cycle that is30 days in length she would be ovulating on about the 16th day of the cycle. In the so-called averagecycle of 28 days, ovulation would occur on day 14 of the cycle. By convention, day one in the cycle isthe first day of menstruation. To pinpoint when ovulation actually occurs, you can make use of the factthat body temperature rises slightly (0.6 of a degree Fahrenheit) due to the r e l e a s e of h o r m o n es s i m u l t a n e o u s l y with the occurrence of ovulation. If the woman takes her temperature,preferrably rectally, each morning before she gets out of bed and records this temperature she can oftendetect when ovulation has occurred. Of course, illnesses and natural variations can make certainmonths difficult to interpret. A rare woman can tell when she is ovulating because she gets sharp pain inthe flank region coincident with release of the egg. The trick in getting pregnant is to get the spermwhere the egg is while both are in shape to do business. Sperm probably stay a l i v e in the woman'sreproductive tract for 48 hours and the egg can probably be fertilized somewhere during the 24-hourperiod after its release. Therefore, if intercourse occurs between a day or two before ovulation and a dayafter ovulation, there is an excellent chance that pregnancy will take place. It is usually recommendedthat the couple attempting to begin a pregnancy have intercourse the day before the assumed date ofovulation, on the day of ovulation and the day following. It is usually recommended that oralcontraceptives be stopped a couple of months before pregnancy is attempted.

Doctor's Bag(continued from page 9) QUESTION: I have been told that smoking marijuana lowers a person's bloodsugar.. Being a diabetic, this would be of particular interest to me. I would like to know if this is true,and if it would be beneficial. Could it possibly cause some other effects? ANSWER: Marijuana produces very few measurable physiological changes. About the only things that appear with regularity areconjuctival injection (a reddening of the whites of the eyes) and a slight increase in the heart rate.Recent evidence suggests that blood sugar levels are not changed. The striking effects of marijuana areon perception and mood. Most people use marijuana because of its pleasurable effects but somepeople are either unaffected or have unpleasant reactions. A few susceptible individuals becomepsychologically dependent on the mood-altering effect of the drug and tend to abuse it. As with alcoholand other drug abuse, it is probably true that people who become dependent u p o n a substance have p r e - e x i s t i n g e m o t i o n al difficulties. There is no evidence t h a t marijuana has any therapeuticvalue for depression, loneliness or other difficulties and it may be harmful as noted. For the diabeticunder good control the decision to use or not to use marijuana is the same as for anyone else. Theworst side effect still remains getting arrested.

After taking the first game of a doubleheader with Wenatchee Community College (WCC) 2-0, the Viks were in turn blanked 7-0 in the nightcap. Thesplit put the Viking's season record at 9-6. Tomorrow Western will be at Klamath Falls, Ore. to take onOregon Tech in an Evergreen conference doubleheader. Don Balke and Greg Turner combined to pitch aone-hit shutout for the Vikings in the opener. Balke gave up the lone safety, a second-inning single byWCC catcher Baba Kreutz. Turner came in in the sixth-inning to hurl the final two frames. Westernmanaged only four hits in the contest, scoring an unearned run in the first inning and adding another inthe fourth. Vik shortstop Dave Bobillot scored what proved to be Western's winning run, leading off thefirst inning with a single, advancing to third on two passed balls, and scoring on a double-steal when theKnight second-baseman threw wildly to the plate. Western's second tally came on a single by DanMariow which scored Rocky Jackson. Jackson had led off with a single and advanced to second on JohnBates' sacrifice. Meanwhile the Knights shelled Viking starter Ken St. Louis for five runs in two innings,scoring two in the first and three in the second. Brad Kruetz did the damage in the first inning with a two-out single, plating Ken McEachern and Randy Meier. In the second McEachern tripled in two more runs, then scored himself on a wild pitch by reliever Rich Shadle. Shadle pitched excellent ball until a two-outerror by outfielder Pete Johnson on a fly ball opened the door for two unearned Wenatchee runs in thefifth inning. After Johnson's error, Glen Copp walked and John Kauzlarich drove them both across with adouble. Of the four Viking safeties, two were by Bobillot. Spikers Enter B.C. Relays In what is sure tobe their most difficult undertaking of the season, the Western track team travels to Vancouver, B.C.tomorrow for the 23rd Annual Vancouver Relays, at Brockton Oval in Stanley Park. Over 200 athletesfrom over 20 different schools and track clubs will be competing in this meet, which annually draws some of the best athletes from both Canada and the United States. Two other schools from the EvergreenConference, (Evco), besides Western, will be in action tomorrow. Central, the defending Evco championswho lost their first dual meet in eight years last week to Oregon College, and Whitworth will also berepresented. Coach Dick Bowman is optimistic about the meet, which follows five weeks of Vikingvictories. "I think that we'll do quite well," Bowman said, "most of our team had great times or distanceslast week (in a five-way meet at Simon Fraser University) and we're ready to cut loose, now." The Viksset two records at Simon Fraser, Bill Long's 14-0 pole-vault and Mike Vorce's :54.5 440-yd. intermediatehurdles, and several standout performances from others. Kelly Stecker ran a career best mile of 4:22.9and Jim Magee ran the 100-yd. dash in : 10.1. John Smith went 46-8V2 in the shot put, lobbing the 16pound ball a foot farther than he has ever done. Long may be in for his stiffest competition yet, however,as former world record holder Bob Seagren of the Southern California Stridders is entered in the polevault. Seagren has vaulted 17-6%. Also entered is Steve Gough, former NCAA small college decathalonchamp from Seattle Pacific College. Gough, now competing for the Falcon Track Club, is entered in theshot put, high jump, javelin, long jump, triple jump and discus. Pete Johnson (24), Western's leadinghitter, stares open-mouthed in disbelief at the umpire after taking a called strike in action againstWenatchee Community College, Wednesday. WCC catcher Baba Kreutz holds on to the ball waiting forthe outcome of ' Johnson's disagreement. The Viks split the doubleheader, winning the first, 2-0, andlosing the second, 7-0.

Western is rated ninth in this week's United Press International small college poll. The poll did nottake into account the Viks' 83-75 heartstopping overtime win over the Eastern Washington Savages before a standing-room-only crowd of 4,000 in Carver Gym Monday night. Western is now 15-0, the best smallcollege record west of the Mississippi. Counting the last two games of last year, the Viking win skein isnow at 17 games._ Other ratings for Western are number one in the Northwest Small College poll andnumber six among all NAIA schools. The Vikings are currently in first place in the Evergreen Conferencewith a 5-0 mark. There are seven Evco games remaining, including return matches with Central andEastern on the latter's home courts. Tomorrow night, Western plays host to Eastern Oregon College in agame in which the Vikings will try to take yet another step toward the NAIA National Tournament inKansas City, Mo., in March.

Among Franza's most interested observers areSteve Hook (54) Mark Seil (34) and Dave Hayden (30) of Eastern and Western's Roger Fuson (42). TheViks won, 83-75, in overtime to firm up their hold on the Evergreen Conference lead and extend their winstreak to 15 this year.

Maybe it was just last year.But now you are in college and your roommate refuses to read stories about geese laying golden eggsand magic beans, so you are having trouble falling to sleep. Well, take heart, for now there are fableswritten just for students. ******* THE STUDENT AND THE TEST-During one hard mid-term exam aStudent was equally hard pressed for some answers til his eyes came across some real beauties at thenext desk. "Ahh, just the thing I need to quench my search for knowledge," quoth he. So craning hisneck a little the Student took a quick peek and just missed getting the -answers. Once again the Studenttried, this time by dropping his pencil and bending far over to pick it up, but without great success inseeing the answers. Again and again the Student tried until the test was over and he had to turn in ablank sheet of paper. "I'm sure the answers were all wrong anyway," said the Student. MORAL: It is easy to despise what you cannot get. THE NARC IN STUDENT CLQTHING-A campus Narc found greatdifficulty in getting in with the Students, owing to his unusual clothing, a zoot suit and tall gray fedora.This attire made the Students very suspicious. But one day the Narc found some rags and beads so hethrew the rags over his head and stalled among the Students, saying things like "Hey, man, what'shappening?" Most Students wondered what was all this corn, except one who was fooled and followedthe Narc and tried to sell him a lid. The Narc made a bust and took the Student off to jail. MORAL:Appearances are deceptive. The fire marshall has ordered that there will be no smoking in the gymbecause of fire hazard. That was the statement made by the announcer preceding Monday night'sWestern-Eastern basketball game. Later the lights went out and halted action on the f loor. Out of thedarkness came the light of lighters and matches. Somebody walked onto the floor with a candle. Thelights came back on and the power for the announcing microphone was restored. The request soonfollowed that all persons put out cigarettes they had lit during intermission. The blackout was kind ofexciting but it would easily have turned into disaster. Everybody was asking later what would havehappened if the lights had stayed off and everybody had to leave in the dark. Another question occurred to me. What if a match, cigarette or candle had started a fire in the gym? With the gym as packed as itwas Monday night it is very likely that many persons would have lost their lives if a substantial blaze wasstarted. Everyone should think twice before acting in an unexpected situation and then think again.Thethoughtlessnessof those persons who played with matches in the darkness and lit cigarettesthroughout the game indicates the likelihood that one day we won't be lucky and some innocent peoplewill have to pay for it. â€”Ron Graham WESTERN FRONT STAFF COPY EDITOR: Ron GrahamSPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Jim Thomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Rich Collingwood EXCHANGE EDITOR: Bob McLauchlan EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Jackie Lawson MANAGING EDITOR: KenRitchie ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Jon Walker COPY EDITOR: Alice Collingwood STAFF REPORTERS: â€ž , â€ž.â€ž ^. . ,_ D John Brewington, John Broom, Steffi Bruell, Korte Brueckmann, Robert Clark, Douglas Cockburn, Bill Dietrich, Bruce Douglas, Jay Eckert, Walt Endicott, Steve Garvey, Sue Gawrys, MarieHaugen, Heidi Henken, Robin Hensel, James Heitzma'n, Pam Hick's, Carolyn Hill, Debbie Hudson.,Michael Hull, O.

NEWSROOM: 676-3161 ADVERTISINGPHONE: 676-3160 ft**** THE CREEP IN HIPPIE CLOTHING-A Creep once found some hippie clothingthat had been left in the sun to dry. He put them on and went into town, where he was kicked out of thestores and generally mistreated by the citizens. The Creep was greatly pleased, feeling he would at lastbe accepted by the other Hippies. But when the Creep opened his mouth such words as "Cool, Square,Pat Boone and White Bucks" fell out upon his feet. The Hippies took his fine clothes away from him andchased him out Of town. MORAL: Fine clothes may disguise, but silly words will disclose a fool. THEWELL-KNOWN STUDENT-"Come with me and we shall drink a cup of coffee," the Well-Known Studentsaid to the Unknown Student. "And do not worry about the Teacher finding us, for he is a good friend ofmine." So the two Students missed theTeacher's class and went to the coffee shop where they hadseveral cups of coffee. Just then the Teacher walked in and spied the two Students. He did not recognize the Unknown Student, but knew the Well-Known Student quite well. "Ahh ha!" cried the Teacher. "Youwere not in my class and missed the lecture I spent all night preparing and now 1 must flunk you." Andso he did. But he did not flunk the Unknown Student because he did not know him. MORAL: Obscurityoften brings safety. THE STUDENT AND THE DEAN-When first the Student saw the Dean, he wasterribly frightened and ran away and hid in the woods. Next time however, he came nearer to the Dean but stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass. The third time the Student went right up to the Deanand said, "How's it going, Pops?" and turned tail and ran away, laughing insanely. MORAL: Familiaritybreeds contempt. THE HAWKS, THE DOVES AND THE NOTHING-Once a great conflict was about totake place between the Hawks and the Doves. When the two armies were collected, the Nothinghesitated which to join. The Doves passed him and cried, "Join us," but he said, "I'm a Hawk." Laterwhen the Hawks passed him and cried, "Come with us" the Nothing said, "I'm a Dove." Peace was finallymade between the armies and the Nothing tried to join in with the Doves' parties, but they drove himaway. Then the Nothing tried to join the Hawks' shindig at the American Legion Hall and they beat him up. MORAL: He that is neither one thing nor the other has no friends. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 28 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, January 28, 1972 Western Front 3 Letters: X rating fair? Editor, Western Front: Dean McDonaldand the Western administration have decided to censor those under 18 years of age from viewing atheatre performance. McDonald wishes to insure people below 18 will not be offended. For some reasonthose over 18 will not be protected from being offended. Which raises a number of questions: what in 17-year-olds needs to be protected from offence which in 18-year-olds does not? Furthermore, what insightor paternal instinct reveals to the administration which matters are offensive to anyone and everyone?And since the college community is one of learning and reason, why aren't those under 18 allowed achoice in what they wish to view? If actor Tomata DuPlenty is to be believed, all ages in Seattle, i n c l u d i n g babies and four-year-old girls and boys were allowed to see the show. What has arousedWestern which did not provoke the theoretically more conservative Seattle City Fathers? The lawsapparently allow discretion and the Western administration has chosen what we regard as aconstitutionally untenable position. Western is denying those over and under 18 equal treatment andfreedom of expression. The Navigator's assurance of "free speech, petition and assembly" (p.28) for theWestern community has been rendered meaningless by an obscure administration which refused tounveil its censors. This is not a matter .for closed door meetings, the issue is as fundamental as all freespeech issues: shall we have free speech for all, or only some? McDonald's vain explanation that theprogram was rated X by the performers and the administration merely decided the age limit is at bestpublic relations gimmickry, at worst a crude joke. John Freeburg, Karen Thompson Fairhaven CollegeBolin retorts Editor, The Western Front: I am writing this letter in defense of my "ignorance" and otherstudents who still share the same feelings as myself concerning the bookstore, and more specifically,two letters which appeared in the Front last Tuesday by Joe Christopher and Joe Peterson. Firstly, in aletter to the Front a week ago, I expressed some doubt as to the validity of Mr. Elliott's claims andstatements concerning the Co-op, published in a cover story on January 14. In the same issue that myletter appeared, Mary Robinson, associate dean of students and a member of the College IntermediateJudiciary Board, confirmed that segments of the story and Mr. Elliott's s t a t e m e n t s were purelyfictitious. In reply to this, the only letters which appeared in the Front in defense of the Co-op were fromthe Co-op; Mr. Christopher and Mr. Peterson are . both Co-op employees. If my l e t t e r only arousedCo-op employees, (which can be expected), I don't think I was too far off base in my assertions. Mr.Christopherâ€”I'm sorry if I insulted you and your lofty profession of accounting by stating that the Co-opcouldn't narrow its losses down to within $10,0 0 0 - b u t that's exactly what was printed in the coverstory. If more accurate figures were available, why weren't they printed? Sensationalism, maybe? Itseems you missed the point of my letter entirelyâ€”which was simply my anger over Mr. Elliott's threatof revocation of the students' 5 per cent rebate. And if you're still interested in reimbursing students fortheir losses from those boxes, contact me and I'll introduce you to a few. Mr. Peterson, perhaps you'dbetter get hold of that original copy with the cover story and examine it a little more closelyâ€”there wasa claim of a $40,000 loss. As a matter of fact, three different figures were mentioned in the article;$20,000, $30,000 and $40,000 losses (I just hate to discredit your accounting department again, Mr.Christopher.) I am sorry, Mr. Christopher and Mr. Peterson, but I just can't accept the saintly image ofthe bookstore which you put forth. And my point again is this: Everybody has to contend with shoplifters and rip-offsâ€”just don't take away our 5 per cent rebate in semblance of your losses. Gene BolinPolitical Science Would you buy a used Nixon? By JAY ECKERT Staff Reporter Emile de Antonio wasat Western Tast year with his documentaries, "Point of Order" (the Army-McCarthy hearings) and "Inthe Year of the Pig" (U.S. involvement in Vietnam). He mentioned he was working on a documentaryabout Richard M. Nixon. He finished it. Nixon makes his share of mistakes, at the least, but hismistakes were usually recorded for posterity. De Antonio has collected Nixon's faux pas, along w i t h i n t e r v i e w s of N i x o n - w a t c h e r s , into a 92-minute film that asks the question: Why? Not onlywhy Nixon, who is so far beyond his level of incompetence as to baffle Laurence Peter, author of the"Peter Principle," but why anyone so shallow can rise so far in the system. There are numerous Nixonspeeches. In the context of the film Nixon is funny; laughter is the only reaction left. Nixon is the firsttotally-manufactured president, but the plastic wrapper was left on, and he suffocated. But he looksgood, only appearances matter these days. In the end, Nixon's only crime is wanting to be president.So far he's gotten away with it. Crime does not pay, but it's only the American public who are beingnobbed.

Blood says the challenge system affords a way "to avoid redundancy in astudent's program," but he said that "most people know very little about how to challenge a class." Hesays the challenge system exists mainly for the student who finds a class that will be repetitious ofprevious courses. Any class offered in the catalogue can be challenged, except for physical educationcourses and some conferences. To challenge a class, simply apply at the testing center by s t a t i ngwhy you wish to challenge the class. You must be a full time student, have never taken the class beforeand not be currently enrolled in it. The testing center will then contact the department of the class to bechallenged, and they can either accept or deny the request. If approved, the testing procedure is up tothe department. If the test is passed, the student will get a satisfactory, with appropriate credits givenand no grade. If the student fails the test, he is . given an unsatisfactory, but no grades are given out.Pass or fail, the student must pay an exam fee of $2 before the test is given. There is no limit to thenumber of credits that can be gained through the challenge system.

ACproposes JC credit By BOB McLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor The Academic Council (AC) Tuesdayreferred to the Admissions Board for study, a recommendation that the ninety to ninety-six quarter hourtransfer credits may be completed at any time at a community college. The Council of Presidents made the recommendation because the present policy which states that "the last 90 quarter-hour credits for a 4-year baccalaureate degree must be c o m p l e t e d at a senior institution" has produced a number of hardships. The Council of Presidents, along with the admissions officers, registrars and the academicofficers of the four-year schools believe that the proposed policy will solve most of the transfer problemswhich have developed in the past. Cal Mathews, director of College Relations, told the AcademicCouncil that "all students who would want to go back to a community college in their home town, havenot been able to do so in the past." Under the proposed policy, a junior or senior who found acommunity college course to his liking could receive credit for it at Western. The Admissions Board has already decided to change the transfer credits from 96 to 90, according to Eugene Omey, chairman ofthe Board. The 96 credits were half of the 192 credits previously required to graduate. Since 180 creditsare now required, the maximum transfer credits will be changed to 90 beginning Fall quarter. TheAcademic Council also voted to accept a report from the ad hoc committee who reviewed the student-faculty designed interdisciplinary major. The committee set up policies and procedures forinterdisciplinary majors. -^ One problem which came up was getting interdisciplinary majors into thoseclasses which accept majors only. The AC voted that prior approval be made by the student major c om m i t t e e from those departments which have major acceptance requirements. These departmentsare technology, art and music. Phase I of music building construction continues ;T[Tf. f Architect'ssketch of music building addition. By TERI PECHTHALT Staff Reporter The sound of music will continue to be muffled by the sound of jackhammers, as construction grinds on to c o m p l e t e the newauditorium-music building addition. The new music building addition will "provide additional space toallow for the present and future needs of the music area," said Phil Ager, chairman of the musicdepartment. The addition will provide such facilities as a concert hall and a music library. "The mostimportant component of the addition is the coneertracital* hali,"1 Ager gt;said.i The concert-recital hallwill seat 650 people, which is about half the seating capacity in the present auditorium. Despite its size, Ager maintained that the hall will be "acoustically and visually much more appropriate for music." Thenew concert-recital hall will be used almost exclusively by the music department, Ager said. The oldauditorium will be used by the speech and drama departments, the humanities program, the other all-college functions. The addition also includes plans for the expansion of the present music library. â€¢ -.â€¢ '.'The â€¢.\music.vlitea.ry.. .wjU1 enlarge considerably. It will contain all the music materialspresently on campus, including records, microfilms, and listening facilities," Ager said. The new additionwill also house faculty offices, practice rooms, and two rehearsal suites. The addition will be completedin two phases. The c o n c e r t - r e c i t a 1 hall, administration offices, and library, are expected to becompleted by fall, 1973. The rest of the addition, which includes practice rooms and offices, has no setdate for completion due to budget limitations. . , . , . , / ..

The loan was paid off last quarter, but the $2 per quarter is still being collected. There is a disagreement between the bookstore board and the college administration as to what should bedone with this money. Members of the bookstore said they should still have jurisdiction over the money since it was originally a special bookstore fee. Rich Hass, Associated Students business manager,said ' the bookstore doesn't control the money anymore and that the college has to turn this money over to student services to comply with legislative ruling. Whatever the status of the money, there is general agreement that something will be done with it; .it's just a question of what to do with it and who shoulddo it. "Either we should rescind the money or ask the college president who has the jurisdiction over the money," Ray Romine, bookstore board member, said. Other bookstore board members thought that $1 of the fee could be used for a bookstore building fund for future expansion and the other dollar couldbe used for a scholarship fund. Hass said there has been discussion about possibly using $1 for anemergency loan fund for students and the other dollar for improving the health services center. He saidthat students should have some say in the handling of this money since it is going into the studentservices fund. He also said that a survey should be taken to find out which student services are mostimportant to the majority of students. There has been no official decision as of yet, though, and nothingwill be done with the money until there is one. "The money is floating in this institution at the moment,"Romine said. Actually, the money is in a pool fund and is clearly separated, according to WesternController Timothy Kao. He said that he is waiting for a decision before he portions out the money. Thequestion of who has jurisdiction over the money is up in the air. The bookstore board decided atMonday's meeting to talk to College President Charles J. Flora. IP AC falling short in support of Bill 138 By BOB McLAUCHLAN Staff Reporter The Associated Student's p l a n s to s u p p o r t theIntercollegiate Political Affairs Commission (IPAC) may -go down the drain because of IPAC's apparentreluctance to support Senate Bill 138, according to AS Housing Commissioner Craig Cole. This bill,which would deny liquor licenses to racially exclusive clubs, drew hundreds of signatures of Westernstudents petitioning for its passage. IPAC is a lobbying group formed in 1969 for the purpose ofrepresenting college students at legislative sessions and assisting in the political educatioof students on campus. Last year, Western supported IPAC with $800. Last spring, AS President Tod Sundquist andVice-President Larry Diamond decided not to support IPAC because it didn't really do anything. Plans for again supporting IPAC have been proposed by Sundquist but may be in jeopardy because of SB138.This bill is presently in the Senate Committee on Commerce and Regulatory Agencies for discussionand action. Last S u n d a y , the committee postponed action until Tuesday. After passing twomeasures on Tuesday, one senator brought up the point that a quorum did not exist and therefore themeeting was adjourned. The two passed measures stood valid because nobody had mentioned aquorum earlier, and SB 138 was not acted upon. Sundquist and Central's AS President Tom Dudley sent a letter to the committee urging them to move to end state r e c o g n i t i o n of racially discriminatoryinstitutions. lt; gt; Last Saturday, Cole called IPAC in Olympia and tried to get them to take action on SB138. ' 'We got the royal run-around," Cole said. "They seemed to be reluctant to take action on thebill because it is too controversial." C o l e finally got a committment from Mark Henning, chairman ofIPAC, that they would at least send a letter of support to the Committee on Commerce and RegulatoryAscncics. Cole called IPAC Monday morning and found out that Henning had failed to follow hispromise. "The matter of racism is a d e e p l y important social concern," Cole said. "If IPAC is moreinterested in lobbying for legislation on hitchhiking than it is for fighting racial discrimination, then Isuggest that our minority students are not represented by another college organization. "I am herebyrequesting that any proposed plans for funding IPAC be cancelled. I do not feel that Western can in good faith support an organization that is either afraid, or simply refuses, to take a stand against racism," he said. According to Cole, one argument IPAC has used is that SB 138 has nothing to do with highereducation. He pointed, however, out that in the current session of the legislature IPAC, has beeninvolved in areas of women's rights, liberalization of state law prohibiting hitchhiking and residencyrequirement change besides areas concerning higher education/ gt; gt; +.*â€¢â€¢' ' - ? â€¢ llitRANCE **â€¢Â«Â»Â«,, f f e -' HB 223, which would allow hitchhiking from designated areas alongfreeways and certain other areas in our state should be sent from the House in Olympia orr third readingMonday, according to sources in the capitol.

Photo by JIM THOMSON Bare breast busts college newspaper By STEVE GARVEY Staff Reporter Publication of the Trident, the student newspaper at Lower Columbia College in Longview, has beensuspended by David Story, president of the college. The Publications Advisory Council there has refused to hear arguments over the suspension, and will wait until the Board of Trustees rules on whether thecouncil has any authority. The board is expected to hold a special meeting within two weeks. TheCouncil was not consulted by President Story before he stopped publication last Thursday. Story tookhis action shortly after the Jan. 20 edition appeared with the front cover showing a bare female breastand the back cover showing the rear end of a horse. A cartoon on the inside asked the reader to fill in afour letter word and stated "obscenity lies in the mind of the reader." Story said Tuesday that the covers showed "incredibly bad judgement and could be interpreted as a premeditated and deliberate insult tothe college community and the larger community around it." The editor, Larry Ziak, " a c t e d in anirresponsible fashion," he continued. The Publications Advisory Council called Story's action " a r b i t ra r y , capricious and unreasonable." Story had met with the â€¢council shortly after the issueappeared. They delayed action until Monday because Story's charges were unwritten and somemembers of the council had not read the issue in question. At the Monday session, attended by over200 students and faculty, the council again refused to hear Story's unwritten charges and criticized himfor bypassing the council. T h e y voted to appeal jurisdiction of the matter to the Board of Trustees. The publications code gives no one authority to suspend publication. , , . TRIDENT Front page of the Jan.20 Trident Although the Trident is financed by student government funds, Story has the final say in th'eir disbursement. He ordered his administrators to sign no more checks for the paper but to continue topay outstanding bills. Editor Ziak accepted full responsibility for the material in the paper but said thattwo issues were involved: whether the covers were obscene and whether Story was the authority to"throw out the constitution and overrule a duly-elected body of students and faculty. He admits hemisjudged reaction to the issue. School policy gives the f a c u l t y - s t u d e n t council jurisdictionover the paper and the duty to establish guidelines. Story contends that the council hasn't followed thepublications code and has shown it can't direct the paper. He said he would lift his suspension if "thecouncil and student government showed it would set up guidelines, if the paper obtained a court order or if his action was clearly shown to be illegal, if the trustees told him to, or if he could be shown wrong.He also proposed a citizen's panel to help in the revision of the publications code. The standards nowread that the editor is held responsible for material that is indecent, .immoral, or profane. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 28 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, January 28, 1972 Western Front 7 Ski Club plans wide variety of activities Mission Ridge, Mt.Baker and Sun Valley are some of the slopes included by Western's Ski Club in its upcoming activities, according to Sharon Stalin, president.

James Rogers (left) andWilliam Harris, both professors at the College of Ethnic Studies, heard author Reginald Major (right)comment on press' coverage of Black affairs during a press conference Tuesday. Block journalist knocksDavis coverage By SUE GAWRYS Staff Reporter A Black journalist said he didn't think press coverageof Angela Davis' trial could be handled "properly" because he is the only journalist representing a Blacknewspaper who has a permanent seat in the trial. Reginald Major, who visited Western this week, writes for B l a c k Weekly, a San Francisco-based paper with a circulation of 15,000. "I don't think any of the regular press can handle it properly," Major said. He said he didn't think that only Blacks could covernews concerning Blacks, but Whites covering Black news must recognize certain "givens" of the Blackcommunity. "Any White reporter who goes into the Black community must accept as valid a fear of thepolice," Major said. He said reporters should learn about minorities if they wish to cover news fairly."Objectivity stinks," Major said. He said papers should strive to not hurt as many people as possible."It's better to editorialize," he said. A c c o r d i n g to Majors, newspapers often are subtlety biased insuch things as choice of words. "Whenever a policeman is shot, it's always a terrorist who does it, hesaid. "Who else would do it?" He said anytime charges of discrimination appear, they are always"alleged." Major said the White community always searches for the "typical" Black. The so-calledmilitant is not a new phenomenon in the Black community, but Whites have selected him as the newimage. He noted that militant has an unfavorable connotation. Major has written a book, worked as thedirector of the E d u c a t i o n a l Opportunity Program at San Francisco State College and free-lanced. He said the Black press stays small because it has the problem of losing good writers to better-payingpublications. OSPIRG digs intomeat While the local chapters of WashPIRG are in the process of writing charters for presentation to their boards of trustees, OSPIRG in Oregon is already pursuing consumerprotection. OSPIRG recently issued a report criticizing a lack of cooperation between the OregonDepartment of Agriculture (ODA) and the State Health Division. The 32-page report, regarding c a s e sof s a l m o n e l la contamination, charges the agriculture department with failure to inform the healthdivision of the appearance of a disease for six months. The study, conducted by-four University ofOregon students and a professor, Dr. John Wish, was done with the knowledge and full cooperation ofIrving Mann, director of the ODA, and with the aid of the University's Consumer Rights Research Center. Meat products are inspected only visually in many cases with few samples taken into laboratories fortesting. The report said laboratory testing is the only way to disclose microbiological contamination. The study also reported that only five in 40 alleged violations in meat . processing were followed up by theODA with laboratory checks within a month. The report recommends that new standards for allprocessed meat products be adopted to establish bacteria counts. President Flora praises student effort College President Charles J. Flora had "nothing but praise" for students and faculty efforts to raisesalaries, terming their work "a whale of a good job." On Monday, the college will present its final case for faculty raises before a joint committee of the state legislature in Olympia. President Flora said he isshooting for a 10 per cent raise, but as the governor has proposed only three per cent, he said thehoped-for figure "appears unlikely." He termed the governor's three per cent raise offer as a "success"for student efforts to raise salaries. He especially praised A.S. President Tod Sundquist and the student government for its work with the state legislature on the salary problem. Commenting on the slowprogress of the senate, President Flora said the All-College Senate should proceed with its own creation with care. "I hope the result will be a government that will last for 50 years," President Flora said. Thepresident thinks the senate is necessary to the college despite the fact that he is willing to allow up totwo years for it to organize itself while issues are handled by other committees. President Flora said the senate is both a communications body and a legislative body. Besides being a sounding board anddiscussion panel, it is also designed to set high level policy. He said he hoped it would not waste timewith petty matters. "Everything is related to the senate," Flora said. "I - know some people arepessimistic about our progress, but that's wrong when we've only met five or six times." Is the senaterevolutionary? "No, evolutionary," he said. The president explained that the senate is the result ofstudent demands for a voice in government. "This is it," he said. Arctic cold front raises havoc with Flora Even college presidents have bad days. President Flora went home last Monday to find that highwinds had wrecked his gate and pushed over his trailer.. The trailer and some small trees it had fallen on were wrecked. His phone and heat were knocked out. He spent the night feeding his fireplace trying tokeep his house warm. In the morning he found that his pump had frozen and that he didn't have water.He was planning to leave early on Tuesday to work on his pump.

The most important changes will involve personalappearance appeals. The Selective Service will make the time limit on requests for personalappearances more flexible. A 15-day time limit will be set on requests for personal appearances and theboard must give a 15-days notice of pending personal appearances. Dr. Curtis Tarr, Selective Servicedirector, described the proposed change as being "from a rigid non-extendable 30 days to a flexible 15days." If a man fails to request a personal appearance or to appear for a personal appearance, the localboard will be able to grant an extension if he gives sufficient reasons for his failure. One of the mostimportant changes will allow a man making a personal appearance to bring up to three witnesses. Thisnew right will take some of "the burden off his shoulders," because witnesses will "help carry himalong," commented Dick Nuse, Western draft counselor. In the case of an adverse decision following apersonal appearance a man will have the right to know the reasons for the board's decision, and torequest an appeal. Another change will allow personal appearances before state appeal boards and the Presidential appeal boards. A man will be able to have consideration for deferment and exemption afteran induction notice has been issued if the proposed changes are accepted. In cases of a postponement of induction authorized by the state or national director, or postponement to allow a student to finish acollege term, a man will have from 30 to 40 days before his date of induction to be considered for a newclassification. A change in the regulations will place men in a new classification-1-H after their year ofprime exposure to the draft.

Now the testis over and evidence indicates that students re stronger and more durable, and probably smarter, thanthe chairs, and next summer a new "improved model" will replaced the^worn seats in the L-4. Thecollege is currently negotiating with the chair manufacturer for new seats to replace the chairs now inuse. According to Harold Goltz, director of campus planning, the new seats will be similar in design butfold-down tablet arms will replace the stationary writing surfaces now used. The fold down version isslightly smaller, but fewer seats will be installed because plans are being made to extend the middleaisle in the hall down to the lecture platform. The new seats and bases will be installed between Springand Summer quarters next year. Western has budgeted $13,000 to replace the chairs in Lecture Hall 4, but officials are-negotiating to ge the 300-plus seats at manufacturers cost or less. Inconvenienceseems to be the primary reason for the new seats. Supervisor of Custodians Doug Bird estimates thatsince the seats were installed as part of t h e Humanities buildings contract more than one-fourth of theseats have been replaced or repaired. " T h e company which provided the seats has sent men up towork on the chairs ever since they put "them in," Bird said. "Other times private c o n t r a c t o r s orcollege ppersonnel did the work, but the company always paid for it. "The company has been very r e sp o n s i b l e , " Goltz said. "Western was the second place to install the chairs (some were installed at the Seattle World's Fair) so the company guaranteed them for an extended period of time. Through theyears the company has repaired and replaced the chairs at its expense. "Now the company is offeringto replace the chairs with better seats at a discount," Goltz added. The seats in Lecture Halls 2 and 3will not be replaced but the shells removed from L-4 will be saved and used to replace damaged chairs in the other halls.

OSU has been accused of such discrimination by the Seattle Office of â‚¬ivil Rights, U.S.Department of Health, Education and Welfare. A team of investigators from HEW, headed by ContractCompliance Specialist Larry Omo, visited OSU in November. A report made by the team was madepublic on Tuesday, January 4. The investigating team found t h a t OSU has been discriminating inhiring and recruiting against women and minority group persons. Specific findings are: . . . OSU hasmade "no effort to recruit and hire qualified m i n o r i t i e s for academic positions." . . . "Salaryinequities" exist "between male and female academic employees" at OSU. . . . But for " t h o se d e p a r t m e n t s that have traditionally been staffed by females (home economics and women's physicaleducation, for example) OSU has not actively recruited and hired females to fill academic positions." . .. OSU policies regarding part-time employees (sent by the S t a t e System of Higher E d u c a t i o n ) " r e s u l t in discrimination against females" because the policies do not include most fringe benefits.Thirty per cent of OSU's faculty women are employed on a p a r t - t i m e basis, the investigating teamsaid, while only nine per cent of the faculty men are part-time. ! 10 MISC.

The soft, undulating shapes of summer inspirewarmer thoughts. Twigg bends students' growth Washington students may be faced with a $500 raise intheir education costs if State Senator Robert Twigg (R-Spokane) has his way. He has introducedSenate Bill 157, requiring all students in the state's colleges and universities to sign a promissory noteof $500 a year for each year they attend school. Students would be required to pay their tuition inaddition to the notes. The notes would be paid back without interest at the rate of $4 a month.Payments on the first note would begin six years after it was signed. Twigg said it costs the state from$1,500 to $2,000 a year for each college student. His bill would shift more of the cost of education ontothe user, allowing the state to recover one-fourth to one-third its costs. If passed, the bill would bring the state $2 billion in twenty years, he said. Since college graduates usually make more money becauseof their education, "they ought to pay some of it back," he said. Twigg said that signing a promissorynote might make student "take a more serious attitude about his education." Drug self-study gets highpraise Congressman Lloyd Meeds, D-Wash., author of the bill under which drug education programs atWestern and other schools are b e i n g f u n d e d , recently commended the programs now beingconducted in Western's dorms, where students receive credit for individual and group study of topicsrelating to drugs. The key feature of Western's program, according to Meeds, is that it is studentdesigned and student run. According to George Harvey, graduate student in student personneladministration and director 6f"th'e: program;'Athe'v': program was originally designed by Associate Deanof Students Ray Romine, AS President Tod S u n d q u i s t , and other representatives from studentgovernment. Last June, Harvey was asked to take over direction. Under the program, residence hall staffmembers have been trained to provide advice and organization to students who want to participate. Nofaculty members are involved; pass-fail grading is done by the residence hall staff on the basis of acontract negotiated between the resident aide and the student. This is done, according to â€¢RbMirre-;â€¢, -Mf" -*W * attempt â€¢' t o ' individualize instruction "for the student." Last quarter was the firstquarter for the program, and, according to Harvey, it seems to have been successful. Most whoparticipated in the program handed in journals of their activities, and all seemed to be fairly successfuland glad to be in the program, he said. One group, in researching encouragement by society of drugabuse, spent nineteen hours in one day monitoring radio and television broadcasts, looking for broadcast references to drug use in commercials or 'dther programming. â€¢â€¢'â€¢â€¢'' Import Motorcycle Center YAMAHAÂ© It's a better machine 114 Dupont 734-3929 (Paid advertisement) The bill to legalizehitch-hiking is now in the House Rules Comm.

The Vikings currently are 15-2 and have won 25 of their last 29 games. They recently returned from Portland after taking second place in a tournament there. The OSU team boasts a finesquad with such players as Jeff Kolberg, who was one of the leading pass receivers in the PacificAthletic Conference for the Beaver football team.

WESTERN FRONTSPORTS Viking cagers to face EOC Mounties tomorrow night Blue Spruce Laundromat 1920 KING ST. NEXT TO McDONALD'S DRIVE-IN BONUS CARDS-11TH LOAD OF WASH FREE Western's nationallyninth ranked cagers will try to firm up their hold on first place in the Evergreen Conference tomorrownight when the Eastern Oregon College Mountaineers invade Carver Gym. The Vikings are ranked ninthin this week's United Press International small college poll, with a record of 13-0. Number one rankedEau Claire State of Wisconsin was also undefeated in the poll, but suffered a loss to North DakotaState Monday as Western dumped Eastern Washington, in overtime to run its mark to 15-0, 5-0 in Evco. As of this writing, Western and number eight Capitol College of Ohio are the only two unbeaten teamsin the top ten. But the concern of Vik coach Chuck Randall is still EOC, a t e am which has shownsurprisingly unexpected strength in rolling up a 10-5 season mark, with a 3-2 Evco record. The Mountieshave beaten Oregon Tech, Southern Oregon and Oregon College in league action, while dropping gamesto Eastern Washington and Central. Ivan Harshbarger, EOC coach, bases his attack around 6-7returning letterman Tom Templeton, a senior from Hermiston, Ore. Templeton is the Mounties leadingscorer and rebounder and will provide other challenge for Viking pivot Rudy Thomas. Other probableEOC starters are Jim Archer, 5-11 junior from Ephrata; Matt Mullet, 6-0 sophomore from Corvallis, Ore.;Ron Townsend, 6-4 sophomore from Elgin, Ore; and Bob Wagner, 6-5 sophomore from Triangle Lake,Ore. The game will be Western's only action of the weekend, as the Viks rest from a rugged pastweekend and prepare for the upcoming weekend when the Big Blue journeys to Ellensburg to play areturn match with Central. Game time is 7:30 p.m. with the junior varsity preliminary against HighlineCommunity College at 5:30. Viks travel to Bay Area for wrestling tournament This weekend LannyBryant's Viking wrestling team will attempt to shrug off last weeks losses to Seattle Pacific and theUniversity of Washington at a San Francisco State College, wrestling tournament. Western will bewrestling s c h o o l s from Oregon, Washington, California and Nevada. The caliber of the teams are as tough or tougher than any of the teams the Vikings have wrestled to date. Cal Poly Tech, one of theteams that will be at the tournament, was the NCAA college division champion last year and sent theirsecond team to the tournament last winter. Aside from CPT, the United States International College atSan Diego has two defending NAIA division champions who will be at the tournament. Last year theVikings came back from San Francisco with three fourth place finishes. "We sent a much weaker teamlast year than we are sending this year," said Coach Bryant. "I hope we can do better this time around." The Viking squad is relatively free from injuries and those with minor problems should be ready bytomorrow. Western sends two unbeatens, Mike Donnelly, 118, and once-tied Lee Andersen, 158, insearch of further victories. George Crittenden won the starting spot in the 177 weight division Tuesday,taking over the position from Randy Deming. The lineup for Western is as follows: Mike Donnelly, 118;Randy Tomaras, 126; John Donnelly, 134; Tom Tripple, 142; Dave Climer, 150; Lee Andersen, 158; BillHunt, 167; George Crittenden, 177; Mike Compton, 190; Jeff Michaelson, heavyweight.

The win gave the undefeated Viks a15-0 slate, 5-0 in Evco play while the Savages are now 13-4 for the year, 4-2 in the The Sporting WordBy KKNTSHERWOOD Heart failures and money ballplayers For those professors who were wonderingwhy there was a slight drop in attendance in then- Tuesday classes, the reason can probably bechecked out by investigating the admit list in the cardiac ward at St. Luke's. After Monday's basketballgame with Eastern Washington, a day of recovery was necessary to i n s u r e that the currentenrollment didn't take a drastic dip, which would cause President Flora a personal heart failure. Butcoach Chuck Randall and his squad is breathing better after that harrowing 83-75 overtime win against the Savages. With only nine scheduled games left, Randall has insured his tenth consecutive winningseason at Western. However, of those nine games, six are on the road, and in places not hospitable tovisitors, especially visitors who are unbeaten and ranked high nationally. Yet to come on the Viks'agenda are contests in such picturesque locations as Ellensburg, Lacey, Seattle and probably thebiggest, in the hamlet of Cheney. " In three of those towns, teams will be trying for the second time todump Western. Central lost 87-73, St. Martin's lost in the season opener, 89-77, and of course, Easternexists in Cheney. The first two have rapidly improved after meeting the Viks, and Central, which makes adreadfull habit of dismantling opponents on its home court, ambushed Eastern there, 91-77, last weekend. Another hazardous trip will be to Seattle, to do battle with the Seattle Pacific College Falcons. After abad mid-season slump, SPC has come on to meet the high pre-season expectations that were expressed by Les Habbegger, Falcon coach. The only problem with being undefeated, as the Viks are currently at15-0, is that every single team, from powerful Eastern to lowly Oregon College, is gunning for them. Itwould make the season for any school to be the first to knock of Western. When most teams get to thispoint, it's pressure, rather than superior talent, which more often than not ends a win skein. Randalldoesn't seem to worried about the pressure factor, though. And from previous games, he seems to haveno need to be. "The great thing about our club," Randall says, "is that we're money ballplayers. When the pressure is on, and it means the difference between winning or losing, our guys do the job." Anotherthing about the Vikings is that the tremendous balance on the team prevents any opponent from keyingon one player. Western has won close games in almost as many different ways. Whether it be two ChipKohr free throws in overtime against Great Falls, a Tom Bradley tip-in with three seconds left against SanDiego for a 68-67 win, 26 Rudy Thomas points against Azusa Pacific, 35 Mike Franza points againstSimon Fraser or three straight Gary White free throws against Eastern, Randall's "money ballplayers"theory has born out numerous trials, and the result is 15-0. But the reason that things will get a littleeasier from here is that the Viks have won the two big ones, beating Central and Eastern in Bellingham.That plus Central's win over the Savages puts the Big Blue in a pretty good spot to start off that longrugged road trip which will hopefully lead to Kansas City. It was ironic that Western beat Eastern with the very weapon which had allowed the Savages to stay close,â€”free throw shooting. Finishing the eveningwith a near tragic 52.4 per cent at the line, it was White's charity tosses which beat Eastern, the cinchercoming after a technical foul was called on Savage coach Jerome Krause. "I hope we don't have anothernight like that," White said afterwards. "If we can win with free throw shooting like that, than we will bereal tough when we get back to normal. I just hope we got it out of our system." The Viks will have ninemore chances to find out. If the results are positive, they'll get a few more, which they should. After all, itgets easier from here on in right? Somehow, that doesn't sound too convincing. At least, my heartrefuses to believe it. league. The loss was also Eastern's second straight after 12 consecutive wins, asEastern dropped a 91-77 decision to Central in Ellensburg Saturday. The Viks pulled the win out despite free throw shooting which matched the freezing temperatures outside Carver Gym. Western finishedwith 19 of 36 from the line for 52.6 per cent, many of the misses being the first of one-and-onesituations. Western came into the contest shooting over 70 per cent. The Savages hit 76 per cent,going 23 of 30. The Viks scored six more field goals than did Eastern. However, it was free throws which won it for Western, as Gary White, who went to the line with only three of nine, hit three straight charity tosses in the overtime to ice the win. The three shots came via an intentional foul by Eastern's DaveHopley, and a technical on Savage coach Jerome Krause for p r o t e s t i n g the call too vehemently.Western began the game as if it was going to blow Eastern right out of the gym. The Viks were running,fast breaking, and sending Savage shots back into the shooter's faces, which gave them a 17-8 leadwhen a power failure blacked out the gym. "There's no way that that blackout helped us," Vik coachChuck Randall said afterwards. "We were really moving up to them, and afterwards we lost themomentum and Eastern had a chance to regroup." The Big Blue did manage to raise the lead to 26-13,before Eastern began its comeback charge. Driving scores by All-Evco Randy Buss and long bombs by Steve Hook, gradually pulled the Savages to within two, 31-29, before ^Western shook off the shock and led the half, 38-33. In the second half, Western constantly forged comfortable margins, only to haveEastern whittle them down. Western never trailed, and was tied only twice, at 2-2, and 71-71 at the endof regulation time. The Viks appeared to have the game won on two Roger Fuson free throws and arebound lay-in by Mike Franza. But Buss shook free with 19 seconds left and the Viks leading, 71-68,for a twisting hook shot which drew a foul from Fuson. Buss' free throw was "good, as were all ten heshot, and the game went into overtime. Field goals by Fuson and Rudy Thomas gave the Blue their final lead, and White's free throws cinched it. Foul trouble almost doomed the Vikings as all five startersfinished the game with four personals. Eastern's 6-8 center Dave Hay den was the only foul casualty,though. White and Franza finished with 18 each to lead Western, while Thomas had 14, Mike Preston,who turned in a fine performance in a reserve role, hit 12 and Fuson had 10, five in the overtime. Bussled all scorers with 26, Hay den had 15 and Hook 10 for the Easterners.

Fisher, whofinished the evening with 19 counters to lead the Vikings, began his spree with the score 43-42, SPC.When he was done, the score was 51-47, Western, and the Viks never looked back. Fisher accountedfor 14 of the last 25 points for Western. The Viks had to rally late in the first half since the Falcons hadthe lead most of the way, the largest margin being six, 13-7. At this point the Viks began the comeback behind captain Jim Hotvet and Joe Hunter who pulled the jayvees to within four, at 20-16. Dick Bissellthen scored three baskets to pull into a tie at 22-22. A 15-footer by Chuck Price, two free throws byHunter and a Bissell bucket gave Western a 28-27 halftime lead. In the second half the Rich Tuckercoached Viks, who are now 9-2 having won their last six, broke into a seven point lead, 40-33, beforeSPC began a comeback of its own. Led by Brian Maxfield, the Falcons fought back to take a 47-45 lead when Fisher began his heroics. Maxfield finished the contest with 22 points to take game honors, 16 ofthem coming in the second half. Following Fisher, Bissell scored 17 and Price 12. Ruben Ethel andRandy Wallenberg hit double figures for the Falcons with 12 and 10 points respectively. Bissell led allrebounders with 10 while Fisher grabbed seven.

Flora's "conduct of his office," the Faculty Council votedlast week to conduct a poll to determine the faculty's confidence in Flora as college president. Thefaculty survey follows a week of open and private criticism of Flora's decision May 16 to grant two newfaculty positions to the College of Ethnic Studies, a decision that was made after student protestorsclosed off Old Main. But the secret ballotsâ€”which were mailed to faculty members and must bereturned by 4 p.m. tomorrowâ€”contain no mention of "any single incident," according to Richard Levin,who proposed that the poll be taken. Levin said that various faculty members had expresseddissatisfaction with Flora's actions in several matters, and that he thought it would be a good idea toascertain the feeling of the entire faculty. Besides the poll, discontent has also emerged in the form offaculty petitions addressed to the Board of Trustees, and a statement from the department chairmenwhich was delivered to Flora yesterday afternoon. Two days after the Ethnic Studies incident, Floraappeared before the Faculty Council and explained his decision to add the CES positions, stressing thathis action was "based upon data and not upon pressure or fear." He said "at no point did I feel threatened or intimidated." After Flora finished reading his prepared statement, Levin said that Flora did not need tomake his decision the day of the blockade, and With many class sections filled prematurely, andstudents unwillingly forced to blue-slip, dissatisfaction last week was epitomized in this sign, posted atthe Registration Center. Scrutinized by Bob Thirsk, Assistant Registrar, it said the action students should take would be to see President Flora about faculty allocations. _^_____^_^__^____ the fact that he didmade it seem like Flora had yielded to the protestors'. "The whole college is up in arms thinking youreacted out of fear in a panic situation," Levin said. One professor said that the demonstrators shooktheir fists and shouted obscenities at him and that he felt that Flora was "very wrong in not onlycondoning the action but rewarding it." He said that "almost every faculty member on this campus" feltthat Flora was very wrong. When asked if he would be willing to come to a faculty forum to discuss thematter, Flora said there is "sufficient information available" already and that he would come only "if thereis an enormous sentiment that I need to do it for the health and welfare of this college." THE WESTERNFRONT Vol. 64 No. 51 WESTERN WA SHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Thursday, June 1, 1972 Collegesued over additional Fairhaven construction costs Intramural swim team marches to their afternoonworkout. Photo by Rich Collingwood Last issue until Summer!! by STEPHANIE SMITH A Seattleconstruction company has filed a $400,000 suit against Western and the State of Washington to recover e x t r a costs incurred on c o n s t r u c t i on of Fairhaven College. This is the first time in Western'shistory that a claim involveing a construction project has resulted in this kind of court suit. The case isscheduled for trial June 5 in Thurston County. Wick Construction Company claims that bad weatherdelayed the project and therefore caused additional costs which are the responsibility of the college.The basic position of the college, according to Bob Aegerter, campus architect, is that the delays arenot necessarily the fault of the construction firm, but neither are they the responsibility of the college.Wick says it is entitled to $56,700 withheld by Western to cover cost to the college, because thecontractors failed to complete the work on time. Wick also claims that the delays in the project causedabout $350,000 in additional costs above the bid, which should be paid by the college. The contractspecifies that the contractors will not be penalized for delays due to extremely unseasonable weather or natural disasters. Wick claims that most of the delays, which caused the project to be finished nearly11 months after the originally scheduled date, were the result of the extremely harsh weather. Theproject was originally scheduled to be finished in September, 1969. It was actually completed in August, 1970. During the winter, concrete trucks could not reach the site when cold weather forced the city torestrict loads on streets BLOSSOM has concert Marijuana songs will fill the air outside the Viking Union today as BLOSSOM (Basic Liberalization Of Smokers and Sympathizers Of Marijuana), Drug Info andthe Rising Sun drop-in center team up to p r e s e n t the BLOSSOM Roadshow and Review.

The foundations could not be poured,delaying construction for most of the winter. Wick says that the work was not as efficient as it shouldhave been because men spent time waiting for weather to clear, as a result, more men had to be hiredto complete the job. Also, wages for some employees went up between the originally scheduledcompletion date and the actual completion date. T h e s e and o t h er complications, according to thecontractor, were directly or indirectly related to delays caused by the weather. Additional time of 126days was granted by the college to a l l ow for bad weather. Forty-four days were granted to allow forstandard difficulties in building. The project was completed 162 days after all these grants of additionaltime. " Andy Wick, of Wick C o n s t r u c t i o n , refused to comment.

"The chemistry department was out to getSearle," one student commented, "and they got him." The controversy began last spring with Searle'syearly e v a l u a t i o n l e t t e r from department chairman Joseph Crook. Crook praised Searle's"teaching performance," but said that he was recommending Searle's termination because of a " c o n t i n u i n g history of i r r e s p o n s i b i l i t y and undependability." The case went as far as the facultygrievance committee, who reported in February that: "There is some evidence that the actual reason forDr. Searle's termination relates to quite fundamental differences in views relating to teaching methods,relations with students, and what might be called "life style," academic or otherwise. "This fact stronglysuggests a department within which diversity of viewpoint and behavior is academically dangerous."The report went on to say that diversity is "the yeast of intellectual life." The majority of the grievancecommittee felt that it was not within their purview to determine the merits of the charge of irresponsibility, but Hugh Fleetwood, one of the committee members, said that in his opinion, the charges were"flimsy." "I couldn't believe that a d e p a r t m e n t could really terminate a faculty member for thosereasons, and therefore it was logical to believe that there were other reasons at work," Fleetwood said.The charges, detailed by Crook at Searle's request, included missing four class meetings, bringing a six-pack of beer to an evening session of a graduate class, and being absent from a laboratory session that continued past the 5 p.m.; deadline. Fleetwood said that Searle explained several of thesesatisfactorily, and that the remaining accusations in his opinion, would have justified "at most, a severereprimand." Fleetwood said that, in general, an untenured faculty member has "relatively few protections against a department that very much wants to get rid of him." Searle, who recently secured a job fornext fall at California State College, said that he feels his dismissal is the result of a personal vendettaon the part of . some of the tenured chemistry faculty. He feels that he was f i r e d for "non-academicreasons," since there was never any criticism of his teaching. Searle was described as an "excellent"teacher by Crook, even though Crook had started the termination proceedings. Roy Hays, who headed a pro-Searle petition drive that collected over 200 students' signatures during the '71 spring Anti-warphone tax A drive to collect unpaid phone tax for a hospital in Vietnam will be held today and tomorrowby the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The veteran's organization will be outside the Viking UnionJOHN SEARLE quarter finals week, said that the actual reason for the termination was that Searle "justdoesn't fit in" to what Hays labeled an " e x t r e m e l y conservative" chemistry department. ASPresident Tod Sundquist, who helped with the petition drive, also said that he suspects that Searle's lifestyle figured heavily in the firing. "I personally think that Searle and the students of Western have beendone a disservice in this matter," Sundquist commented. Crook, meanwhile, insisted that Searle'sremoval was not based on personal reasons. Crook said that he had no way of knowing the motives ofeach of the tenured faculty members, but that there were "just too many good people involved" to havedismissed Searle for reasons other than the ones the department stated. vets ask for unpaid forVietnam hospital A Si! %266 FeCi^Novidad1 Christmas in Mazatlan Dec 23-30 Includes: Roundtrip jet, hotel onthe beach, two meals daily, and transfers.

Never have I seen such a display of bland, pointed insignificance. Kindly instruct those who write in to do so with some thought given to Tightness of style and value of content. I hope this letter will serve as an example. The Rocket-Propelled Intergalactic Space Potato (MarkSkullerud, Psychology, Senior) Praise to Kyle and Jeopardy Editor, Western Front: Praise be to TimKyle and this year's issue of Jeopardy! A humorous image occurs to me: our esteemed president Florasitting at his desk looking fat but no longer self-satisfied or complacent. In his hands is a copy ofJeopardy and on his cheeks is a crimson glow. Embarrassment? Possibly. Most likely a slap from themuse. After his mad parody of Plato chasing the poet out of the Republic, Flora has good reason forfeeling embarrassed. Kyle's Jeopardy is a refreshing breath of crystal air, a diverse array of beautifulvariations on a theme which has not only important redeeming social value, but w h i c h is of profoundsignificance to the essence of our lives: the dance of life performed by Man and Woman. Jeopardy treats "the intercourse Tfnuteday/clurie V\I972W; on even plane" of the man and the woman with an openness which is not only socially healthy, but philosophically enlightening, metaphysically engaging, and (bestof all!) aesthetically pleasing. These past few months of struggle between Jeopardy and president Florabring to mind another humorous image: Tim Kyle's flashing magic Conjurers of poetry waving theirwands at the forces of stagnationmd boredom to change them into .so many green, warty toads whichhop off and disappear beneath the green slime of the bog. Freude! Philip Pierce Kyle lackedresponsibility Editor, Western Front: Time was when members of the English department were invitedby the Western Front to review issues of Jeopardy. The 1972 Jeopardy's chief claim to fame is based onthe presence of a f o u r - p a g e piece of pornography called "Kinda God," which celebrates the joys offellatio and premature defecation. In all of the letters addressed to you on the right of Jeopardy EditorTim Kyle to print "Kinda . God," I have found no allusion to his abysmal lack of editorial taste anddiscretion in selecting such a specimen. Kyle no doubt had the right to make this choice: this did notabsolve him from responsibility to his public to set up standards of excellence for writing to appear in "amagazine of creative arts." The last sentence of his foreword has no application to "Kinda God": itsauthor shows no "grace" of any kind, whether "everlasting" or o t h e r w i s e , and this pornographicsketch in its grossness, coarseness, and crudity is anything but "fine". Arthur C. Hicks EmeritusProfessor of English No funds for Jeopardy Editor, Western Front: Presently circulating on the WWSCcampus are several copies of a petition relating to the manner of publication of Jeopardy. This letter is an attempt to explain both what these petitions are not, and what they are. In the first place, they are notan attempt to legislate morality. The most dogmatic teacher of all time, Jesus of Nazareth, said, "I amthe Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me." Yet, as is repeated over andover in the New Testament, He entered only into the lives of those who believed. In other words, therewas an element of personal choice involved. This is why, as important as Jesus considered Hismessage to be, He never tried to force or to legislate it. He was seeking individual, personal choices.Similarly, we are not trying to force anyone to accept our standards of morality, and these petitions arenot an attempt to legislate that morality. What they are is an attempt to allow us the freedom to choose what we will or will not support. It was our funds that published Jeopardy, and what we are saying isthat, given our choice, there are a significant number of us who would choose not to support thispublication. This is why we are asking that, in the future, Jeopardy be Western gt;-Frdnt gt;:'v' 3published on a self-supporting basis. Kent Seldal, Junior, philosophy Dept. and the supporters of thepetition to establish Jeopardy as a self-supporting publication Lunches are well recieved Editor,Western Front: As co-coordinator of the "Share-A-Lunch" program offered by Western Tutorials, I wouldlike to sincerely thank all those students who so willingly gave up one or more of their meals in order todonate a sack lunch to help the Lummi Indian, Nooksack Indian and Lynden migrant worker children. Of course, our thanks also goes to the people of the Saga food service who cooperated in making the more than eighty sack lunches for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday of each week of this quarter. This was an extra burden on them which they willingly accepted. We were also pleased when theyallowed us to bring the children to the dining hall for dinner this last Tuesday night. Perhaps giving asack lunch does not seem like much, but each person's efforts really helped to make this quarter'stutoring efforts more of a success, and therefore we hope to continue this program next year. Again,thanks to everyone! Sue Kacskos Share-A-Lunch Program Check cashing is discriminatory Editor,Western Front: If the purpose of the college branch bank and book store are both to help the student co m m u n i t y then a less discriminatory method of check cashing must be found. The policy of thebookstore does not allow students with accounts at â€¢N.W. Commercial Bank to cash checks thereunless a purchase is made. When making a purchase, a $1 over the purchase limit is allowed. GeorgeElliot (management) reasoned that the majority of the checks received from N.W. Commercial hadbounced in the past and N.W. Commercial would not cover these checks. It seems odd, however, a risk would be taken on cashing checks for merchandise and not for cash, but that's policy I guess. It isunderstandable that during banking hours the student can cash checks at N.W. Commercial and not the Co-op but what about the student who has classes from 8 in the morning until 3 p.m. (like me) somedays and needs some money. The facilities supposedly set up for the students seem discriminatorytowards this student, because there is no place on campus to cash a check. One solution would be forN.W. 'Commercial to allow the bookstore access to their I.B.M. blue print of student accounts, however,the banks policy is contrary to this. They feel bank statements are confidential information. I canunderstand both sides of the bank and bookstores defenses but neither side seems interested enough to find an alternative approach to the problem. Some students, like me, don't write checks that willbounce and often need cash but don't have transportation off campus to get it. I would like to see asolution to this problem and put a stop to this discrimination! Marilyn Kleyn Front editorials... Six lonely months The editorship of any newspaper is oftentimes a lonely job. Readers and advertisers complain,interest groups threaten, production equipment refuses to function, and academic pressures becomeunbearable. Yet, the loneliness remains. As I view the past two quarters in retrospect, I can only feelpride in the publication we have produced. The pressures mounted to incredible proportions these pastfew weeks, yet my staff continued to produce quality copy, and the praise of many continued to come.As editor, I have come under attack by almost every faction in this community, yet I refuse, as I havedone every day the past six months, to waver in my belief that the Front has fulfilled the obligations of any quality newspaper. We have reported events factually, overcome external strife and still managed toretain our status as an award-winning publication. To those in this college community who criticize,understand that feedback is the life-breath of this newspaper. I have accepted criticism as a compliment,for it only proves to illustrate that the Front has fulfilled its responsibility of informing this campus ofnewsworthy events. To those who expressed satisfaction, I can only hope you will continue to read theFront and derive the same satisfaction in future quarters. My staff has produced stories under pressure ofdeadline so that you could gain a better perspective on this community. It's been a harrowing twoquarters; thankless at times, and loaded with pressures. It's also been a fruitful two quarters. But it's stilla lonely job. Jackie Lawson Trustees change birthdays For those naive folks who believed there weresome traditions that were unchangeable, prepare to have your beliefs shattered. Western's Board ofTrustees passed a motion last month to change the holiday for Lincoln's birthday from Feb. 12 toChristmas Eve, Columbus Day from the second Monday of Oct. to New Year's Eve, and General ElectionDay to the day after Thanksgiving. Beginning next year this motion will affect only Western employees,who in the past have been denied these holidays off. This decision was made because it would "providethe institution the opportunity to meet its holiday obligations with a minimal disruptive effect to theacademic calendar." So let this be a reminder to all Western employees: Nov. 23 is General ElectionDay; Dec. 24 is Lincoln's Birthday; and Dec. 31 is Columbus Day. Who said the Board of Trustees'power is limited?

Most of the area's veteran groups participated in the non-denominational memorial service,which was sponsored by the American Legion honor society "40 et 8 Voiture." The services opened witha 21 gun salute and a march down an "avenue of flags" by representatives of the various veteransgroups. The flags were donated by the families of deceased veterans and carried the name of theveteran to be honored on a plaque placed on the staff of the flag. The reading of General L o g a n ' s o rd e r s , which established May 30, 1868 as a day to honor the Civil War dead, by Western student John Drobnick, followed the playing of the national anthem and a short prayer. The featured speaker, FrankBrooks, owner of the Frank B r o o k s ' M a n u f a c t u r i ng Company and past commander of thelocal American Legion post, gave an unprepared speech about "dubious patriotism." The speechreceived a scattering of applause from the audience, consisting mostly of people over 60 years old.Another gun salute and the playing of taps closed the heat-shortened ceremonies. Candidate says'power to tax is power to destroy' by 0 . K. JOHNSON Vick Gould, candidate for governor, says "thepower to tax is the power to destroy." Gould, the 56-year-old candidate running on the Taxpayers PartyTicket, emphasized that the current tax structure in Washington is in great need of change. Gould'sphilosophy is threefold : 1. The first and proper function of government is to protect your person, yourproperty and your liberty. 2. The government governs best when it governs least. 3. We have moregovernment than we can pay for. Gould's platform is to reduce real estate taxes by eliminating taxexemptions on many properties, repeal the business and occupation tax and inventory tax, veto stateincome tax, eliminate sales tax from food and drugs, introduce hens instead of tax foreclosures forthose people over 65, cut the budget by 10 per cent and adopt "Users Pay" for many governmentservices. "Taxes have done more to drive business out of the state than to bring business in," Gouldsaid. One example mentioned was the last cigarette tax raise. He also said that excessively high taxes take away the incentive to work. "The harder you work the more that is taken away. 45 cents out ofevery dollar goes for taxes at some level of government. Would you like to spend your money or have the government spend it for you?" he asked. Gould not only recommends the reduction of taxes andelimination of certain taxes, but also advocates no new taxes. With this in mind, how can the statesurvive? Gould said that the state should and must reduce its spending. Where does the spendingreduction come from? Gould said that because Washington's taxes are so high, people buy what theycan out of state and bring it back into the state. Washington does not benefit by spending or therevenues that could be obtained through some form of taxation. By lowering and eliminating some taxes, industry is encouraged to produce , and more goods are available and sold in the state at lower prices,cutting down out of state competition. The state benefits by revenue and the people benefit by lowertaxes. Gould also said he would like to see the state controlled Liquor Control Board eliminatedbecause it is a monopoly. "Freedom from government and reduction of taxes encourages goods andservices," Gould said. "This encourages competition. We do not have competition with the stateoperated Liquor Control Board. It is a government monopoly. As a result of that monopoly, Washingtonhas the highest liquor tax in the nation," he said. Gould said that 60 per cent of the people inWashington vote for more taxes or higher taxes. Those people are dependent on tax dollars for support.Part of the 60 per cent are tax paid employees who pay taxes-with taxpayers dollars. The result fromwhat Gould said is that 40 per cent of the people are "true" tax payers. In essence, those people whopay taxes with taxpayers money are actually paid with tax money from the 40 per cent. "With thatmoney they pay'their own taxes. By running on a third party ticket, Gould says that he can win. In ,970, his Limit Tax Initiative received 49% of the vote, not enough to win on a two party system. With 60per cent of those who favor higher taxes voting either for the Republican or Democratic candidate, thevote becomes split and Gould would or could emerge the winner. "Buckley did it in New York," he said."A tax-saver can win the governor's seat with 40 per cent of the vote only by running on a third party. It is the way the tax payer can win. Only the tax payer can save himself," he added. Gould said thegovernors chair is the most important point of tax control in the state with the line-item veto. Thegovernor has the power to veto all appropriations and control spending. With a tax-saving governor andonly 17 tax-saving senators the governor can control spending. The control would result when theSenate could not get the two thirds majority needed w i t h the House of Representatives two thirdsmajority to override the veto. Gould said it looks like Evans and Durkan as the Republican andDemocratic choices on November 17. Gould says that he is the only candidate who promises to cuttaxes and decrease spending and add no new taxes. "November of 1972 is the 'true' taxpaper's lastchance," he said. Independent study relieves pressure by RICK RIES Interested in working on yourown, without the pressures of class times, grades, meaningless requirements and professors you don'tget along with? Maybe resident independent study is for you. The independent study program,sponsored by Western's department of continuing studies, allow students to contract with professors for course work, which can, according to the continuing studies department, be.used to: a) c o m p l e t e a degree program b) take credit courses which will apply to your present job, or c) take one or twocourses in specific subjects that you're interested in. I t ' s conceivable, too, according to JulianPawloski, assistant director of continuing studies, that a student could complete four years of collegeby contract, without ever going to a formal class. But, Pawloski says, he doubts that will happen rightaway. After being accepted into the program, students meet with a faculty member in the subject areathey are interested in, and sign a contract with him to complete work they both agree on. Contractperiods can range from one month to a year. The contract specifies the course objective, requiredreadings, materials to be studied, procedures to be used, concepts to be mastered, and evaluationprocedures. All these categories are worked out by the faculty member and the student. Grading is on acredit/no-credit basis. Although not all faculty members agreee with the program and will acceptstudents in it, Pawloski says that there are at least one or two faculty in each department who willaccept contracted students. Admission to the program, according to a continuing studies informationsheet, "is to be on Former editor awarded $500 BILL BRASWELL Former Klipsun editor Bill Braswellhas been awarded a $500 scholarship from the Allied Daily Newspaper Foundation. The foundationawarded three $500 scholarships for the 1972-73 academic year to minority students pursuing a courseof study in journalism. Braswell, who also was chairman of the Programs Commission, is presently inPortland, Ore. on a work-study program organizing lettuce workers. proven ability to complete collegelevel work, not entrance t e s t s . " Students who are interested are interviewed by a member of theContinuing Studies staff, who decides, on the basis of past performance and his impression of thestudent, if the student can complete an independent study program. No "entrance tests" are required,according to Pawloski. the only exception to this might be in the case of a freshman student who hadnever done college level work before, Pawloski added. Such a student might be required to take a testto prove his ability to do college level work. After the prospective student is accepted, the ContinuingStudies department will suggest a faculty member to consult, unless the student already has one inmind. From that time on, progress is between the student and faculty member; continuing studies hasno more to do with the contract. Additional information and application forms can be had from thecontinuing studies office, College Hall 137, phone 676-3320. Facilities get more room Enlargement ofthe AS Print Shop, more room for Klipsun, minority unions and a few other services were decided by theAS advisory committee on Other Student Facilities (OSF) last Tuesday. A travel information center astudent darkroom and space for Washington Public Interest Group were granted also granted. Theminority unions will now be housed in 001, 002, 005 and 006 where the AS had offices this year. TheUnions wanted to be together in hopes of unifying all minorities. One OSF board member was leery ofpossible isolationistic feelings. The AS officers, now board of directors, unofficially endorsed the moveso they would be near the services they sponsor. The Black Student Union's present area will be for the board of directors. This area was originally designed for this purpose. The Print Shop will be divided into two sections, the poster shop and printing area. The poster shop will be in VU 303 and is equipped witha silk screen which any student, having proficiency, may use. The main area is in rooms 309 to 311, ifplumbing needs can be met. Having just changed over to offset printing they need the added space.Publications caused the most problem because of the indefiniteness of its status at this time. Thecommittee decided to give space to the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy on the basis that theystay within the c o r p o r a t i o n . The AS has threatened to cut off funds if the publications do not stay within the corporation. Klipsun was the only one to gain more space although all asked for more.Klipsun will occupy room 305. The Western Front was granted rooms 312, 313,314and315. Also money has been funded for a student dark room (VU308). When renovation is completed, the AS will buy theequipment.

Archives serve aspreservation and storage areas for records of historical interest. The Seattle archives branch of theFederal Records Center contains records on Indian affairs, customs and court proceedings amongothers. Researchers often study archives m a t e r i a l for historical information that they couldn't findelsewhere. As archivist trainees, the students will learn and practice the functions of archivists. Theywill begin their training on campus Fall quarter, studying archives collection, preservation and use.During the next two quarters the students will actually work in the Seattle Records Center archivesbranch. There they will do everything from unpacking incoming papers, cleaning them, indexing them forreference and deciding which papers are valuable. Picking out the historically important papers from the 32,000 cubic feet of Federal papers coming into the Records Center during a year is the most important function of the archivist. Many of the records, such as income tax filings or classified documents, aren't suitable for the archives branch. But such things as court records or customs records are suitable.

All papers relating to acertain topic or to a particular time period must be logically organized and indexed. Job prospects Thelong academic road to archivist training through Western's program is balanced by almost certain jobplacement. "I'm certain we can place the number of students we're preparing in this program," DeLormesaid. "The Federal government keeps expanding and that means more archives work." The trainingprogram will continue to limit students so the market for archivist jobs won't be flooded. DeLorme added. "It's a beginning," DeLorme said. "Students are asking us every day where a history graduate .can beplaced and this department is actively doing something to answer that question." ^Western presentlyhas "a sort of monopoly" on the training program because all the archives, personnel are taken up. As a post-graduate program the archivist training will be open to applicants from any college or university and DeLorme hopes "to get an increasing number of applications from all over the country." Archivistshappy Phillip Lothyan, chief of the Seattle archives branch, and his assistant Anne Brockert, are looking forward to the student help. In addition to examining incoming Federal papers, Lothyan said the trainees can help locate records that are presently in the Records Center, but haven't been picked out for thearchives branch yet. The archives branch now has over 8,000 cubic feet of records and Lothyan saidthere is probably that much more stored in the center. The aid of the student trainees "will acceleratethe . preparation of records for the community's use," Lothyan said. Teachers, researchers and anymember of the public can use records in the archives. The Seattle archives branch preserves recordsthat contain Federal government policies towards Indian affairs, conservation, and defense "without which it would be impossible to write an accurate history of the Pacific Northwest," DeLorme said. ArchivistPhillip Lothyan sits amid his work at the Seattle Federal Records Center. Lothyan said the RecordCenter is "interested in the experiences and feedback of the trainees" as well as their help in preparingarchives materials for reference. Programs birth The need for an archivist to grasp the historicalsignificance of Federal records and know how to fit them into an archive led to the establishment of thearchivist training program. DeLorme, who serves on a federal-regional archives council, heard DavidDuniway, director of the Oregon State archives, tell members of the archives council last October thatpresent t r a i n i n g m e t h o d s were inadequate. Incoming archivists didn't have enough historyPhoto by Ron Graham background, Duniway said. DeLorme then talked with Paul Kohl, who was theregional director of the Seattle Records Center, and started planning a training program. The final details will soon be worked out. Kohl has since been moved up to take charge of two regions, which includetwo more archive centers on the West Coast. This may mean student archivist trainees can work andstudy in other archives, DeLorme said. DeLorme is now making efforts to open up a similar trainingprogram with the state archives. He also hopes to expand into museum curatorship training, makingagreements with the Whatcom County Museum and others for on-site training. ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 1 - Page 7 ---------- Thursday, June 1/1972 Western-Front 7 Young voters can change U.S. future by DEBBIE HUDSON 25million eligible young voters could sway the United States" toward a more hopeful future if Nixon wereousted in the November elections. That was the central statement made by Dr. Giovanni Costigan, ahistory professor at the University of Washington, who spoke last Thursday to a crowd of about 70people at the annual American Civil Liberties Union action auction. Endorsing McGovern as " t h o u g h t f u l and humane" Costigan said that the success of McGovern rests on the work of young people."The young have the power to determine the election, yet President Nixon lacks the confidence of theyoung; he treats them with contempt," Costigan said. Costigan, who debated William F. Buckley lastfall at the U of W, explained how the U.S., a country which was viewed by Europe as the most radicalnation and the hope of the world when founded, began to lose respect. Telling the history in respect tocivil liberties, Costigan said that slavery was the first blot on our record. Then came refugees fromEurope, who were exploited as a large work force. Wealth and power grew, but it was concentrated inonly a few hands which is still true today, said Costigan. The ACLU was founded in the 1920's, because of fear that civil liberties would disappear. This was right after the Russian Revolution and the U.S. wass e i z e d with t e r r o r of communism. This was the time of "red-baiting" and J. Edgar Hoover's rise topower. Costigan called Hoover the country's "foremost philosopher of that time" and "A bully made into a hero." During the 1940's the U.S. suffered three major blows to h e r p r i d e , and " t he Pre-schoolchildren's art, East Asia and seaweed will be the s u b j e c t s as W e s t e r n 's Educational Mediatelevision station begins broadcasts over Bellingham's cable system today.

"East Asia" is the title of the Political Science department's series. Theprograms, featuring various members of the department's faculty, will cover t o p i c s of "Sino-SovietRelations", "Korea Today", and "American Views of East Asians". "To introduce the viewing audience to basic concepts of the biology, ecology, life history and utilization of marine plants" is the purpose of the biology department's "Gardens Beneath the Sea" series.

"Soviet Russia emerged as a great power" he said, "so now U.S. leadershipwas confined to only one-half of the world." The second blow was the Soviet acquisition of nuclearpower. But the U.S. said Russia acquired it by treason, that a nation of peasants couldn't havedeveloped it. "Alger Hiss was framed," said Costigan, "because Russia was advanced enough to havedeveloped nuclear power, and was working on it." The third humiliation was the loss of China. "The U.S.spoke of the loss of China as if we owned it," Costigan said, "yet the loss of China was due to ourblindness. Historians warned that China would fall to the Communists, but these men were regarded astraitors." T h i s h y s t e r i a over communism led to the McCarthy era, "the most shameful in U.S.history. "This drunkard and bully intimidated civil liberties," said Costigan, "and if anyone criticized him,they too were regarded as traitors." Costigan said that the worst was to come, for the logical outcomeof McCarthyism and China's communism was the Vietnam war, "the most unnecessary war in history,which was fought out of U.S. pride and arrogance." Again men were called traitors and cowards, whenyoung men in the U.S. refused to fight this war. "The American press has published the truth about thewar," Costigan said, "and Agnew called them traitors." Costigan mentioned that Nixon is not windingdown the war, that facts show that it is increasing. "I would like to see Nixon impeached, butCongressmen are too timid," said Costigan. "Our last chance is the November election." THURSDAY,JUNE 8-2 p.m. â€”"A living Experience: G a d g e t s " , Dr. Dorothy Ramsland, moderator.2:30â€”"Conversations About E a s t .

T h e N o r t h w e s t e rn Commercial Bank will expand into the Smokeshop area under two conditions set by the Other Student Facilities. First of all, the bank mustguarantee that student loans will be offered w i t h i n a year of the enlargement. The expansion mustalso increase the service available to the customers. Saga food services will p r o b a b l y take over the barbershop's space for use as a delicatessen. The main selling place would be moved from the bottomof Buchanan Towers, so minimal duplication would exist.

Not one to rest on past laurels, Irving threw himselfwhole heartedly into the Homecoming festivities at Western and the students responded . by electing apig as Homecoming Queen. It was a proud night for Irving when he led the Grand March at theHomecoming Dance with the pig at his side. Irving is shown in the above picture just after he came backfrom his senior evaluation and discovered he was twenty credits short of graduating.

Most students gave him up for dead, but one day last winter Stoop came stumblingdown the stairs to join the living. He told terrifying tales about living on library paste for those long years. Then it was discovered Stoop had an overdue book and he was dragged back into the library, never tobe seen again. NORMAL ALREADY After the fall quarter Klipsun magazine hit the streets, a retiredstreet car tender, Normal Already, came on campus to offer his literary skills in picking out four-letterwords. With a sharp eye and an equally sharp pencil, Normal was able to go through the entiremagazine and circle all four-letter words. He sent a copy to Gov. Dan Evans, who said, "Far out." Normal has been asked to address the graduating class on freedom of the press. CORPORATION II Text bySteve Johnston and graphics by Debbie Round Flushed with a well-won victory over building a corporation structure which would represent all the students, officials in student government went to work buildingCorporation II. As they already had the old frame the officials decided to build around it. First they formedan 18-member committee to study the problem and submit designs. After much fighting, the committeerolled the Corporation II out into the sunlight and it for a test drive. But because all four wheels on oneside, Corporation II could only j circles. Still the committee had an answer foi problem: "If you don'tquestion it, Corporati will run just fine." It is hoped Dr. Flora will it to graduation. ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 1 - Page 9 ---------- Thursday, June 1, 1972 Western Front 9 DR. WALDO BOOGLE Whenever the Class of '72 had apressing problem they could always rely on Dr. Waldo Boogie, head of the Department of HigherExplanations, to give them a straight-forward answer. In his cramped office in Old Main, the good doctorslaved many long hours to think up answers. His whole philosophy about answers is summed up in asign over his desk which reads: "It's None of Your Goddamn Business." TOM PEKING Seeing thatthere was a large amount of undue behavior on campus during 1972, Tom Peking took it upon himself to form Turn Into a Stool Pigeon (TISP) which offered a $100 award to anyone who wanted to tell on hisfellow student. It didn't matter much to Tom what the student told, being basically a nosey guy Tomwanted to know a little of everything about anyone. DING DIMWITTY Scheduled to graduate with theClass of '72, Ding Dimwitty ran afoul with the administration when he refused to take a required courseon the grounds he could not see any use in it. Always a class clown, Ding had insisted he should not be forced to pay for classes he did not want or need. It is hoped Ding will be allowed back in school nextyear. BETTY JO BIOLOTSKI It was a close run off this year for the Homecoming Queen. The pig whichwas elected a few years back was entered to rule over the campus, but dark horse candidate Betty JoBiolotski entered on a whim and was elected by a 5 to 4 vote. Unfortunately, no one showed for theHomecoming Dance and missed Betty singing "Truly Do." The repressive capitalist powers started toget our freak-in-residence Bo Bumble down, so he left for Olympia in an effort to start a national "TheyDay." While in Olympia Bo was able to meet with several interesting people and the most interestingproved to be the chief of police who invited Bo to spend a few days with him. It is not known if Bo will beable to graduate this year. BO BUMBLE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE After receiving numerous complaintsfrom the faculty and students about never showing his face around campus, college president Charles J.Flora came down from Old Main to spend a few minutes in the Viking Union coffee shop. Dressed invarious costumes to hide his identity, the president discussed wide-ranging topics with the students, allof which proved to be a crashing bare. He would later tear off his shirt and show his tattoo across hischest: "Make No Mistake. About It, I Am The President!" EAGER PULLINGFREE AND HARVEYWALLBANGEF When Harvey Wallbanger could not read his teacher's handwriting he hurried over to seehis friend and translater Eager Pullingfree. It is this type of help which made Western the type of school itis today. However, Eager was unable to read the scrawl and Harvey was not able to graduate with theClass of '72. For his efforts, Eager was rewarded with a right cross to the jaw. The coveted RubberChicken Award for Outstanding Journalism was picked up this year by the entire Western Front staff.The reporters took great pride in the fact they rarely spelled a name right or put down the correct time ina news story. Next year the reporters plan to have their typewriters on a 45 degree angle to go alongwith their slanted reporting. RUBBER CHICKEN ---------- Western Front - 1972 June 1 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Thursday, June 1, 1972 Over rolls and porridge United States radical's ideal but whyaren't people happy Editor's Note: Front reporter Sue Gawrys recently went to London and filed thesestories: by SUE GAWRYS It was a disturbing discussion over breakfast porridge and crescents (rolls)."When I visited the States, I was amazed. The Americans Introducing HahUxom An authentic darkbeer. The excellence of European dark beers has been known for hundreds of years. Now there is anauthentic dark beer brewed in America. Heidelberg Alt. A name to stand beside such famous beveragesas Porter and Stout. A beer with more than a shade of difference. Most American dark beers offer littlemore than added coloring. In contrast, Heidelberg Alt is a true heavy-brewed, highly hopped beverage. Its name, "Alt", reflects a centuries-old tradition of brewing excellence. It has the thick, tight-knit, creamyfoam characteristic of its European kin. It has a more daring character that comes from using the highprime Hallertau hops of Bavaria, from double fermentation, and from roasted barley malt and other grains. The result is a genuine dark beer of unique color, bouquet and natural refreshment. Heidelberg Alt isnow being brewed and distributed in limited quantities. You will find it at most of the better specialtyshops, grocery stores and taverns. We hope you have occasion to try Heidelberg Alt. We believe it to be the finest dark beer brewed anywhere in the world. Â©Carling Brewing Company, Tacoma. Washington have the finest country in the world and all they do is complain, never do anything about it." John, 20,Scottish law student in London. "They don't quite realize how fortunate they actually a r e . " Rob, 22,Australian student, London School of Economics. "I agree. They all talk about escaping, about living inthe woods, in communes, abroad. T h e y won't face their problems." Mick, 20, English apprenticeactor. All three, who had visited the United States and had known several Americans, were at firstpolitely, then bluntly critical of Americans' attitudes. They attributed the unrest to a baseless paranoia,to an ethnocentric view of the world, to an unreal fantasy of the good life. "Americans I've known viewtheir government as working against them instead of with them or for them," Rob said. He saidAmericans are too much concerned with what the government is trying to do to them and ignor what isbeing done for them. An example of this is Americans who complain loudly about the price of cars, yetforget about all the safety features put in, he said, and think the government is trying to squeeze outevery last penny. "They think themselves, and rightly so, the center of the world, yet they aren't happy.They point to Sweden and they point to Russia as better examples of the way life ought to be," Micksaid. "Yet, when they have an opportunity to try a different life style, one a bit more the Swedish orRussian way, they back down, refusing to give up their American comforts and patterns." 'I don't knowexactly what they are hoping to find. They seem rather in Limbo, not a part of my world nor of their own. It must be uncomfortable! He said the end result is whining and general disgust, but an unwillingness tochange one's ways, a sort of running on a treadmill situation. Rob and John both felt that theAmericans, like any people, found the grass greener where they weren't. "It's a typical response, Ibelieve. We British look at you Americans and say to ourselves, "Why aren't we that way?" Mick said.In John's part of Scotland, he said many Americans are coming to live. It is a remote, little-populatedpart of the world. He said the Americans living there, expatriots, of a sort, stick to themselves and don'tget too involved in village life. "I don't know exactly what they are hoping to find. They seem rather inUmbo, not a part of my world nor of their own. It must be uncomfortable," John said. Rob felt the UnitedStates had so many resources that solving the problems would be a challenge. "Your country isn't asold as England. It should be much more vigorous. Solutions ought to be stimulating projects," he said.People dread facing the tasks of problem-solving, he noted, anywhere, but it is particularly shunned inthe United States. I have run into this attitude, that of the unhappy American, often enough to wonderhow true it is. Compared to the Americans, British have similar problems, such as racism. A u s t r a l i a n government officials a few years ago, were in the process of passing off dry desert wasteland to itsnative population, the aborigines, a policy which counts similar to the US governments Indianreservation land problem. England has long been trying to close down immigration for Black peoplethere, enforced by law. My three companions acknowledged the existence of such problems andmaintained that their people face these problems, while Americans considered them hopeless and ranaway. I don't know enough people to feel a pulse of how concerned the British are and over what issuesthey should be concerned about, so I can't compare. And of Americans I know, I have to admit to somedegree (but I'm not certain how much), many people just don't care. But most people? It's a disturbingthought. ...And on the fashion scene Few men here in London wear blue jeans or look rumpled. Eventhe students are carefully put together in multi-colored sweaters and brushed denim flares, with polishedboots. Several young men, sporting shoulder-length shags (adapted from a style by Vidal Sassoon, who has initiated several hair trends from his London salon), are wearing black and dark blue velvet blazers,which fit closely, over a short knitted vest and shiny satin-like pants. Along with their unbrellas and briefcases, young men in their early twenties, already in finance or management, wear ankle-lengthtrenchcoats in rainbow hues. ( B r i t i s h raincoats are well-made and range in any style or color-justlike Seattle, the people here have to live with rain.) Men's fashions here are headed towards a kept butmore colorful look than ever before, there is a wide selection of fabrics, patterns and styles from whichto choose, and young Londoners appear to be following the trends. Women's clothing is going in theother direction, stepping more and more into realms of fantasy.. S t o r e s o f f e r long, multi-layeredgypsy skirts in madras and seersucker, midi flannel pinafores printed with Peter Rabbit, floppy felt hatspinned with bunches of violets and fruit, smocks in any style, from muslin to wool. Colors offered areusually just short of bright (what might be called drab). Much of the selections are in wool or heavydoubleknits, because of the cold weather in London. Young British women seldom seem to go out on alimb fashion- wise, as much as their â€¢ men do.

We were camped at the base of the North Sister, the 6500 ft. tower of rock and snow we had hiked in five miles the day before toclimb. North Sister is the smaller half ot he Twin Sisters, a duo of peaks to the southwest of Mt. Baker.Although not a severely difficult peak, North Sister was our first climb of the year, and we decided tofollow the easiest possible route. After a breakfast of hotdog a n d bean s o u p , and double-checkingour equipment, our party of three set out. Party member Nancy Scherer was the most experienced ofour threesome, having climbed almost every major Northwest peak, so Joe Gotchy and I followed herroute suggestions. Most of the southwest side of North Sister has suffered through clear-cut logging, soby following a rapidly eroding logging road and scrambling up an unlogged snow covered slope, wereached the ridge which we intended to follow to the summit. Following the crest of the ridge was quitesimple, the north side of it descended in a long, open snowfield, the south was a tangle of windtwistedlodgepole pine covering frost-cracked and jumbled rock. The snow slope became more and more steepand treacherous and we ascended, until finally the danger of the snow avalanching out from under ourfeet forced us onto the snowless and rocky south side of the ridge. Having been exposed to constantfreezing and thawing for countless years, the rock of the North Sister has been shattered and cracked to the point where very little of the rock is absolutely stable. Although the view to the north and east wasblocked by Mt. Baker and South Sister, the p a n o r a m a back towards Bellingham was tremendous.The town and smoke of Georgia Pacific were easily visible, the San Juan Islands, the Olympics andVancouver Island were faintly seen through a curtain of haze. To the North, Vancouver and all the B.C.peaks stood out in the morning light. After an hour of stuffing our faces and smearing on the suntangrease, we decided to forget a summit assault and began our descent. Descending on rotton rock ismuch more difficult than ascending, and so we belayed each other at every difficult spot. Things weregoing fairly well, until I made a wrong turn, sending us off our path of descent onto a deadend branch ofthe ridge. After a half-hour of surveying our situation, we decided to belay Nancy a difficult route whichwould hopefully get us back on the main ridge. This forced us to constantly check potential hand andfoot holds for stability, and more than once seemingly solid holds shot out from under us, crashinghundreds of feet to the valley floor. As we climbed, South Sister stood silent sentinel above and to theright of us, and during each rest stop we could see the tracks of new snow slides avalanching off themountain's unstabler north slope into the valley separating the two mountains. We all agreed that noway were we going to venture out on any snowfield unless absolutely necessary. Clambering over rockfaces and up chimneys choked with fallen rubble, we finally reached a fairly safe resting point about 50vertical feet below the summit around 10 a.m., five hours after we started. The final stretch to thesummit appeared fairly difficult, and since we were tired anyway we decided to stop for lunch and take in the intense sunshine and the tremendous view. After about 20 minutes of cautiously testing every hold, she was back on the side on the main ridge. Half an hour later For information leading to the arrest conviction of heroin sellers $100 REWARD If you acquire such information: (1) Phone 676-3460 and askfor Jeanette. (2) DO NOT give your name. (3) Record your identity code number. (Upon arrest andconviction of the heroin seller, you should call 676-3460 once again, state your identity code number, and arrangements will be made to provide the reward money.) Associated Students Joe was down, and itwas my turn. The first person down has the second person belaying them from above, so that if a falloccurs, it won't be more than a few feet. The same goes for the second on the rope. However, the thirdand last person is belayed from below by the first two climbers, so if he falls, he can travel not only down to his belayers, but also past them the length of the rope.

In the 16-player tennis singles competition, Jeff Town survived theearly rounds of elimination to down Errol Menke 6-1, 6-2 in the final match Tuesday afternoon. In softball the third time was a charm for Mick's Marauders as they downed Binky Stutts May 25 in their thirdstraight year in the finals. Binky's had been undefeated during the season and one win in t h e doubleelimination tournament would have wrapped up the title, but Mick's took the first game, forcing the teams into a second and deciding gamewhich Mick's won to take the softball crown. The tennis and softballchampionships finished off the heaviest quarter of intramural action which has also included competitionin volleyball, track-and weightlifting. by Kent Sherwood A typical final column It becomes typical at thistime of the academic year to write in a reflective sense. Slightly more than typical, it has approached thethreshold of tradition such as those ivy-covered actions like homecoming, registration, finals, diplomas,cap and gowns and unemployment. Graduation is no longer in that grouping, because of the last itemmentioned on that list. Not being one who wishes to defy tradition (though I still have dreams ofgraduation), I think a commemorative look at the sports year gone past seems appropriate. If ever a yeardeserved reviewing, than this is probably the year. Western teams performed at a consistantly high levelwhich Viking fans have not witnessed in a long time. So consistant were Western squads, that theEvergreen Conference All-Sports trophy was missed by the narrowest margin ever. Central has long been the omnipotent institution in the league and has annually run away with the trophy. It has been rumoredin some Evco circles that the Wildcats have the hardware buried in a wheat field somewhere. This yearboth schools captured three of a possible ten conference titles. Western's came in football, basketballand golf. Central's were in wrestling, swimming and tennis. The swimming title may be slightly misleading as only three Evco schools compete in the aquatic sport. Western placed third. The Vikings tooksecond in tennis; third in cross country, swimming, wrestling, and track; and fifth in baseball. The lowerfinish -in baseball was offset by Central's like finish in football. The all-sports scoring goes on a basis ofreverse order for number of teams competing. That is, if all seven Evco schools compete in a sport, thechampion receives seven points, second place six, and so on. If only three schools participate, thechampion receives only three points. By an unofficial tally, it would appear that Central has 4 8 ^ pointsto Western's 46. This is unofficial, however, and since I'm not majoring in math for a very good reason, 2Hpoints worth of an error may have been made. But the chance is small. It is a pity though. Westernproduced some not only talented, but exciting teams. No one could argue that the Vik cagers wereboring, even in the few easy romps. The gridders performed with methodical accuracy with a defensethat just plain refused to yield much of anything. And while golf may not be the most exciting sport towatch, anyone who has played the Lake Padden Course just for fun fully appreciates the Vik duffers'talents. Can the Vikings repeat next year? That querie can only be answered during the coming monthsof practice, training and competition. On paper, a few teams appear to have the talents necessary.Western's most successful sports year in over a decade has come to an end. So, it would appear, hasthe final edition of the Sporting Word. Any and all compliments would be appreciated if sent to thedepartment head so that I can return the disappearing tradition of graduation.

In a come-from-behind effort the Western golfersovercame an eight point deficit after the first day of play to win the championship by 11 over secondplace Eastern Washington. "The golfers did a fine job Saturday," said coach Jim Lounsberry. "Theymade up 19 strokes and played good golf." For the Vikings it was the second win in three meetings with Eastern, but the one loss Viking ruggers finish '72 season (they think) by DICK GROVE Western'srugby season has come to an end. It has been, according to most ruggers, a good year. How good ayear exactly, nobody knows. No rugby player is exactly sure how many games the first team won. Forthat matter nobody is sure how many games they played. The best estimates (based on memory)conclude that Western played around 45 games this year. They won perhaps 35. It is known, however,that at one time Western was 27-2 and second dividion Vancouver (B.C.) Rugby Union champions. Also known is Western's high f i n i s h in the National Invitational Rugby Tournament in Monterrey, Calif. By finishing fourth in that 32 team tournament, Western rose to national rugby prominence. The rugbyseason lasts from September through May, w;th games nearly every weekend. The occassionalweekend off is offset by the many tournaments interspersed throughout the year. In these tournamentsa team can play as many as four games in one day. Western participated in five tournaments (by mostcounts) this year. A first, two seconds, a fourth and an unknown finish at Portland, were the cumulatedresults. Western's tournament travels included games in Monterrey Vancouver, Seattle, Portland andwas for the NAIA district 1 championship by only six strokes, to give Eastern the trip to the nationalchampionships. Bill Hager and Herb Clemo led the way for Western's comeback. Clemo shot one ofonly two par rounds on the second day of play while Hager was only one over par as he matched hisopening round score of 73. Hager's 146 total was tops for the Vikings and good enough for second place in the tournament behind Bruce Brevet of Eastern Washington who stumbled to a 78 after an openinground 66 but still finished with 144. The rest of the Viking squad finished in the top ten of the 35 playertournament. Clemo finished sixth with a 150, while Jack Erskine and Rick Wike tied for seventh with 151 scores. Jim white took tenth with his 153 score. Western's total team score was 496 to 607 for Eastern Washington. Central took third place with 611, followed by Southern Oregon College with 6 2 1 ,Oregon College of Education with 650, Eastern Oregon College with 654 and Oregon Technical Institutewith 692. Bryant resigns mat post citing lack of support' Citing lack of support from the administration,wrestling coach Lanny Bryant has resigned from that position and accepted a job as wrestling coachand careers teacher beginning next fall at Hellgate High School in Missoula, Mont. Bryant has justfinished his second year as Western's wrestling coach, compiling an 18-10 record and placing sixth and third, respectively, in the Evergreen Conference. The Wyoming native came to Bellingham fromWorland, Wyo. with a coaching record of 100-8. "I'll be getting about a $3,000 raise," Bryant said, "butthe money difference doesn't mean much, at all to me. The main reason I'm leaving is because theadministration won't back up the athletic program, which makes it impossible to make the program asgood as it should be." B r y a n t said that the administration's stand has talked the last couple of yearabout d r o p p i n g intercollegiate athletics, has made recruiting "nearly impossible."

The former national Amature Athletes Unionchampion said that his biggest regret was "leaving such a great bunch of guys at Western." "I feel badabout getting them, here and then pulling out," LANNY BRYANT Bryant said, "but I can't be contentwith mediocrity, which is what we'll have until the administration gives us some support." Bryant saidthat next year's Viking grap piers should be fighting for the Evco crown, if "they get a good coach." Nosearch for a replacement has begun, according to both Bryant and Western athletic director and formerwrestling coach William A. Tomaras. Bryant said he was looking forward to his new job in Montana, as"they really want to u p g r a d e their wrestling program." Bryant will be given three assistant coaches,whereas he doesn't have any at Western. "Their program is pretty down right now," Bryant said, "butthey have the potential to bring it up, and definitely the enthusiasm. They're young and want some goodwrestling^and I think I can give it to them." Bryant and his family will leave Western and their Ferndalehome in August following the six-week summer session.

The 1971 Evergreen Conference and NAIA District I "Coach-of-the-Year" said thatthe 1972 Vikings "on paper, appear to be the best team we've ever had here." The biggest newcomer will be 6-5 260 pound tackle Randall Schmidt, now a senior at Redmond High School. Long s a i d thatSchmidt is "surprisingly not fat for that size, but very well put together." Some of the top talent will be in the quarterback position, which will be one of the big holes to fill with the graduation of Glenn Hadland.Added to the list which already includes the Viks' number two field general from last year, MarshallTorre, are freshmen Bob Hinrichs from Tacoma's Wilson High School, Jay Overway from Burlington High School's undefeated team, and â€¢ Dwayne Layton from Kentridge High School. Transfer quarterbacksare Dan Vilantini from Everett Community College, and Tom Leuhman who transfered from E a s t e r nWashington and red-shirted last season. "We should have the best depth ever at that position," Longsaid. Among other incoming gridders are two Bellingham brothers, Bill and Dan Bailey. Bill, a 6-3 240-pound tackle, returns after four years of service ball with freshman eligibility. Dan is a senior split end atSehome High School. Other local talent is provided by Greg Collings from Lynden High School, who is asplit end and Rick VanderYacht from Lynden Christian High School who was the leading rusher in theWhatcom County League. VanderYacht, a superb all-round athlete is also being sought after byWestern's basketball and baseball coaches, Chuck Randall and Larry Vance, as well. Lynden's GordTerpstra will also enter from service ball. Terpstra is a 6-2 195-pound defensive end. "I think we'll be very tough again," Long noted, "but it will be difficult to win the conference title again. Right now I'd sayOregon College of Education is the team to beat." Long said he felt that the Evco champion will have togo through the league undefeated as, in his opinion, "you can't lose a gam and win the title with thetalent in this league." $ WANT $6300.00 IN TUITION AID AND A $50.00 TWO DAYS PER MONTHPART TIME JOB TO ATTEND COLLEGE It could all be yours by completing the Naval Air Reserve 2 year active duty program.

The results were notknown at press time. White captained the Vik cagers to the Evergreen Conference and NAIA District Ichampionships. The 6-4 forward from E. St. Louis, 111. shot 50.3 per cent from the field during theseason and was a frist team selection on the All-District team for the second straight year.

Don Bonker, Auditor of Clark County,charged in an interview on the campus that Washington's requirement that students file a residencystatement when they register to vote is discriminatory and intimidating to students. It must be signed bystate and federal employees, and members of the armed forces as DON BONKER well as students,plus spouses of all three categories. The affidavit is essentially a claim of a permanent address given by the registration. "There is no constitutional basis for it," Bonker said, adding that, "a county auditor hasno right to ask either for verification of residence, or for proof of age" in order to register to vote. TerryUnger, Whatcom County election supervisor says, however, that the residency statement, which wentinto affect at the same time the state began registering 18-year-olds, is a form of protection for thestudent. According to Unger, once a student has given his residence on the affidavit, he cannot bechallenged as to his address as long as he is a student. "If a student gives his address as Nash Hall, he is a resident of Nash Hall as long as he is a student, even when the dorm is Closed in the summer andeven if he moves to anotther place to attend school," Unger said. He also said that if a student movesand wants to change his voting address, he can also do that.- Bonker said that when the new-registration forms arrived with the residency statement, he refused to require students to sign them. LukKramer's reply to his protests, he said, was, "proceed at your own risk." No action has been or will betaken in the matter, according to Ken Gilbert, supervisor of elections in the secretary of state's office."In fact," Gilbert said, "the affidavit will probably be dropped soon because of the recent Supreme Courtdecision saying that you only have to live in a state 30 days in order to register to vote."

The AS paid Saga $70 for the coffee and plastic cups used in its economicboycott of Saga. The coffee boycott idea was originated by AS Vice-President Larry Diamond who saidthat the coffee was to be given away as an "informal protest" against Saga's coffee price. TodSundquist, AS president, said he signed the purchase order in the belief that the demonstration wouldencourage Saga to lower its price to ten cents per cup. Sundquist said he did not know at that time that backers of the protest would be purchasing the coffee from the organization it intended to boycott. "If Ihad known that, that purchase order would never have been signed." VU Director Kay Burke approvedthe purchase order in AS Business Manager Rich Hass' absence. Hass said that the backers of thedemonstration made no attempt to find out what are the proper channels for trying to Students takeadvantage of the free coffee provided by the AS. lower the coffee prices. "They just wanted to go aheadwith their show," Hass said. Hass also c r i t i c i z ed purchasing the coffee from Saga. "That $70 isjust money in Saga's pocket. They certainly didn't lose any money today." Diamond was in OlympiaWednesday and unavailable for comment. David Swensen, student of the College of Ethnic Studies,another one of the backers of the coffee boycott said that "This is the first thing the AS has done thateffects every student." Swensen said that obtaining the coffee from Saga was the easiest but not theonly way. "Saga's ripping us off," he said. Also at the coffee tables were petitions which read, in part:"We the undersigned to Photo by RON GRAHAM hereby petition the Director of the Viking Union to rollback-the price of coffee, in campus coffee shops, to. 10 cents per cup and five cents per refill." MissBurke said that none of the petitions had yet been presented to her. Miss Burke said that the phrase"roll back" may be misleading, since Saga did not actually raise the price of their coffee, they merelydropped their smaller 10 cents size. She said that part of the reason for this was the continual theft ofthe smaller cups. Miss Burke also said that the new Saga manager had expressed a willingness todiscuss Saga operations with any interested students or groups, or to have a survey to find out studentideas about Saga. P r o p o n e n t s of the demonstration did not approach Miss Burke's office foreither permission or space reservation for their coffee sales. Miss Burke said that she did not have theopportunity to speak with any of the boycott backers regarding their failure to s e c u r e p e r m i s s i on and reservations. She also said that she contacted by Saga when dime coffee was dropped, thatthere was a chance for its ressurection if students were willing to talk to Saga about. According to MissBurke, the â€”chances-of returning the ten cent coffee will not be affected by Wednesday'sdemonstration and petitions unless the display aroused student interest enough to effect the numberthat would turn out for a meeting to discuss the situation. "It indicates some interest to sign a petition,but taking a half hour of one's time to discuss the situation indicates a great deal more interest." wasthe and Whiz kid; Gay guerrilla theater X-rated The Gay People's Alliance in conjunction with theProgram Commission is bringing the first X-rated show to Western, but no one is quite sure who gavethem that rating or why. They're the Whiz Kidz, a g u e r r i l l a theatre troupe specializing in old songs, old clothes, black fingernail polish and sequined eye shadow. They'll be presenting their brand ofbisexual humor Feb. 5 in the Music Auditorium. No one under 18 will be admitted so that the show"would not be offensive to people beneath that age," said Bill McDonald, dean of students. McDonaldadmitted that he and the administration decided on the age restriction, but he would not provideinformation on which members of the administration actually decided on the action or even how manyadministrators were involved in the decision. "They (the Whiz Kidz) are the ones that rated it "X," DeanMcDonald said. "We just decided it would be only 18 and over." Barry Boniface, A.S. programcoordinator, said that he did not agree with the restrictive action because "the groups like this During"these troubled times" Louise Lovely and the Mystery Lady entertained the Western Front staff. Photosby JIM THOMSON mat are popping up in various cities indicate people have a more liberal attitudetowards gay people now." "They're going to X-rate it?" asked a member of the program commission.Several "Whizzies and friends" gave a sneak preview to the Western Front staff on Jan. 17, and in aninterview with them afterwards, they were asked, why they thought restrictions were put on the show.Whiz Kid Louise Lovely answered, "Ignorance. I guess he (College President Charles J. Flora) got a fewtelephone calls or something, I don't know. , Rumors, it's all rumors. None of it's true." When asked if itwasn't familiarity, she replied, "I've never met the man." Tomata DuPlenty said, "I think these peoplewho called in have seen our shows and they do not want their nieces and nephews to see them. Theseshows aren't rated "X" in Seattle. .We've put on shows in the streets and in Portland at the Paramounttheatre." What is the purpose of the Whiz Kidz? "For entertainment," Louise Lovely said. "You know it's hard to make people smile in these troubled times of depression, war and starvation with the smallchildren going Tomata DuPlenty hungry every night." What are you trying to do with guerrilla theatre?"We're trying to tame the guerrilla." ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 21 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Friday, January 21,1972 Front Editorials The pain in the A.S. In the lower echelons of any college community one is apt to find the cause of most problems related to higher education. Budgetcuts? Lack of quality faculty? Apathy? Granted, these are proverbial wrenches in the machinery, but thegreatest hangup in education today is bureaucracy. Bureaucracy rears its ugly head in many forms.Perhaps the most damaging are the authoritarian personalities pervading institutes of higher learningacross the country Student involvement and interest in pertinent sociopolitical issues is difficult togenerate in itself, however it becomes further buried under a quagmire of bureaucratic restrictions,creating acts of futility for most student leaders. Academia certainly is not the sole source of education.Learning to function effectively, in a society of varying types of individuals is education as well.Constructive action, political awareness and a desire to contribute to the public good are the results ofthis added type of education. College students are currently experiencing a transitory period. Onlyrecently have opportunities arisen whereby college-age individuals are given the opportunity to feelthemselves a viable segment of American society. Why then are they consistently stifled under moundsof red tape, bureaucratic runaround, and infantile guidelines at the colleges themselvesâ€”the supposedbirthplaces of mature minds? Ideally, we all wish to believe that the "real world" is free from constrictiveguidelines. Realistically, however, we also realize society is strangling itself in bureaucratic red tape andpetty political maneuvers. The one combatant of this dilemma is freedom to think, act and produce asindividuals. The wearisome battle against constrictive bureaucracy must begin in our colleges.Administrators must shed their attitude of superiority and attempt to view students as valid segments ofour society. What is actually spewing from our colleges today are protected individuals, coddled,indoctrinated and, unfortunately, unable to cope effectively with the incessant crush of Americanbureaucracy. -Jackie Lawson WESTERN FRONT STAFF EDiTOR-IN-CHIEF: Jackie LawsonMANAGING EDITOR: Ken Ritchie ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Jon Walker COPY EDITOR: Howard ScottASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Jay Eckert SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: JimThomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Ron Graham EXCHANGE EDITOR: Bob McLauchlan S T A F FREPORTERS. 0j.â€žÂ«; Qâ€ž,1QII i^â€žPtD Rrnerkmann Robert Clark Douqlas Cockburn, AliceCollingwood, fi^oS^ Mâ„¢Â° Haugen Heidi Henken.

We were sitting in the back of Chemistry 101, trying to catch a little nap y when anundeclared major suddenly stood up and screamed, "Elixir!" "That's very good," the chemistry teachersaid, "but today we are not studying alchemy. So kindly sit down and shut up." "Oh no, sir," theundeclared major said, "I wasn't commenting on your lectures, rather I was thinking of what PresidentFlora said in last week's Western Front and I've just figured it out." "And, pray tell, what did PresidentFlora have to say about changing base metals into gold in last week's paper?" the patient chemistryteacher asked. "Well, sir, our fearless leader said that 'Learning is the greatest elixir of life'," theundeclared major said. "He meant that this is what life is all about; it is what this class is all about, andwhat this college is all about." "Oh, I see," the chemistry teacher said. "President Flora meant thatlearning is the essence of life, and it did not have anything to do with changing a base metal into gold as Ithought? Good, then let's continue with the lecture.". At about this time, an English major who sawprofound things in everything written, even articles in the Western Front, stood up and quickly gained thechemistry teacher's attention by shouting at him. "If I may interject a thought on this subject," he said."Could it be that President Flora meant just exactly that, I mean, changing base metal into gold, ratherthan the essence of life?" He smiled smugly when he saw no one knew what he was talking about. "Now, if you look at the student as a base metal, and by attending college, they change into gold, could havebeen what President Flora meant?" "Yeah. Fool's gold," someone shouted from the back of the room.Then a political science major who usually didn't attend class, stood up and said. "Yes, I believe that isexactly what President Flora meant when he said learning is the elixir of life. No, not fool's gold, butrather real gold which we use as a common denominator between countries. Couldn't he have meant thateducation will soon replace the gold standard and just let the yen float?" A tech major, who was really afrustrated chemistry major, but quit because he couldn't make bombs in labs, said, "I don't see President Flora's statement in that light at all. You have to consider that the Aristotelian basis for all existing bodies was a formless materia prima whose only property was the ability to take on qualities. Now if youdefined gold as being heavy and yellow, then all you would have to do is implant those qualities into abase metal, say lead." Seeing that he was losing some of the students back to slumberland, thefrustrated chemistry major hurried on to his point, "Now, if you just think of students as the base metal, all you have to do is stuff a certain amount of certain qualities into the student and then you wind up with agraduate." "Oh yeah?" said the class cynic, "Well, it didn't work for the alchemists and it ain't aboutready to work for us. I mean, if you think a school can take all those pearls of wisdom and grind them upinto a powder and then pour them down some goofy kid's ear, and presto!, you got a graduate student,you got another think coming." "Maybe what we need is a philosopher's stone?" a philosophy majorasked. "Did Flora really mean that man's quest for riches runs eternal, but now his quest for knowledgereplaces the need for gold?" The philosophy major sat down, completely worn out from this heavythought. A geology major perked up a little at the word "stone" and decided to join .the conversation."This needs further thought, this stone bit," he said, feeling his beloved rocks had been slighted. "Aphilosopher's stone could have been a metamorphic rock and Flora's elixir of life could mean goingthrough a change in life." "Oh yeah?"the class cynic said. "You mean like menopause?" This brought afew chuckles from the other students. "The only connection I see between the philosopher's stone andyour stupid analogy is the rocks you got in your head." Not being able to think of anything further to sayabout 'elixir of life' or make a proper retort, the geology major got up and socked the class cynic in thenose. General bedlam broke loose in Chemistry 101 class over the elixir of life. While the class cynic and the geology major were squaring off, the English major was shouting, "To paraphrase Harrison 'A goodeducation is the purest essence of the human soul' is what Flora really meant." 'This isn't what PresidentFlora meant at all," the undeclared major sobbed. "Surely, two students fighting couldn't be the'excitement and majesty of learning' that President Flora spoke of." Finally a journalism major stood upand called for the class' attention. He addressed his solemn remarks to the chemistry teacher. "As youcan see, it is now eight minutes to the hour," the journalism major said, always conscious of deadlines."This class should have been dismissed two minutes ago." ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 21 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, January 21, 1972 Western Front 3 Letters: Co-op baited Editor; Western Front, Your cover story of last Friday concerning the Co-op's financial losses attributed to shoplifting left me in a sheer state ofdisgust. Not only did I find Mr. Elliott's claim of a $30,000 annual' loss grossly unrealistic, but readingon, I found his article to be even more preposterous. As any student of Western knows, the bookstoregoes beyond any conventional means of assuring themselves against a "rip-off" by insisting that all c us t o m e r s entering the bookstore deposit their briefcases, books, rucksacks and parcels in the box-shelves located just inside the entrance. Has Mr. Elliott or the bookstore considered that this assuranceis only available at the students' expense, through the theft of their own personal property left in theseboxes? I think not. Mr. Elliott claims the bookstore has suffered between a $30,000 and a $40,000 lossas a result of shoplifting. I am not, defending those who do shoplift, but it would seem to me that thebookstore is in even more d a n g e r of i n a d e q u a te management and bookkeeping if they can'teven calculate their losses within $10,000. But even w o r k i n g with the more conservative figure, I tried to realize what $30,000 would earn in terms of merchandise. A minute or so of figuring showed that aloss of $30,000 would mean shoplifters have stolen from the bookstore: 1,764 pairs of hiking boots or7,500 stereo LP's or 10,000 athletic supporters or 600,000 pencils or 3 million pieces of red and/orblack pieces of licorice, or any combination of the above items. (Come now, Mr. Elliott . . . the mostexpensive single loss you were able to report was only 9 pair of hiking boots.) U n f o r t u n a t ely , the ramifications of Mr. Elliott's intentions go much farther than this, in what I fear was the whole purpose ofthe article, under the guise of shoplifting losses: "The rebate system might be discontinued if shoplifting losses increase, Elliott said . . . the r e b a t e system won't be discontinued this year because ofsurplus money . . . but it could happen in the future." Our sly friend, the bookstore , is about to pull thevery last rug out from under our feet. The only edge the students have against rising tuition, inflation andthe high cost of books, is a slight 5 per cent rebate discount in which Mr. Elliott considers us nearunworthy. Why even call it a Student Co-op? It's rather obvious Mr. Elliott is laying the format for whatmay soon become a part of Western . . . "Elliott's Bookstore." Eugene N. Bolin, Jr. Political ScienceGrades blasted Editor; Western Front, It was interesting to note that President Flora was opposed tothe pass/fail system of grading before it was ever tried and has come to the surprising (?) conclusionthat he still doesn't like it. As a,student who is taking all his courses pass/fail I completely disagreewith his stand on this issue. As 1 watch the groveling which occurs at the beginning and end of eachquarter by those students who are attempting to get A's as they try to worm their way into favor orattempt to pick teacher's minds in an attempt to find out what the teacher wants instead of how to learnin the new course: as I hear them passing information on teacher preferences, as I watch the franticscrambling to cheat and get higher test grades Tarn disgusted with anyone who would equate such asystem with learning. At their best, grades measure a student's test-taking abilities, or his mind-reading capacity. At worst they are a measure of sucking and begging. I know of no study which has ever been able to show any good relation between high grades and learning or success as a human being andthese are several of the purposes toward which we are supposedly applying ourselves. For myself, Imuch prefer p a s s / f a i l . I find myself c o n c e n t r a t i n g more on long-range learning goals rather than short-term memorization for the next test. I find myself undertaking additional study over severalquarters in trying together a variety of subjects and 1 enjoy the feeling that no one test is going to makeor break me. I am sure there are students who are too immature to fully utilize such a concept and I am also sure there are those, both students and faculty, who try to take advantage of this system.However there are those who manipulate and take advantage of any system and to deny an alternative to all, for fear that someone may get away with something is arbitrary, unfair, s h o r t - s i g h t e d andcounterproductive. Lee Doughty P/F too limited Editor; The Western Front: The logic of PresidentFlora's apparent equation of 'pass/fail grading' with 'goof off is, to say the least, questionable, but let uspass on to what he identifies as his "real objection . . . that pass/fail is an invitation to the faculty tolower their standards. It's much easier," the President continues, "to divide term papers into two pilesinstead of five, as in grading. But it's also less worthwhile." Even if we must talk of grading in terms ofdividing intellectual products into piles, I can see no reason why there should be five piles. In a class oftwenty-five students, why not twenty-five piles? Why not substitute real evaluation for grading? Why nottell the students in real English words, orally and/or in writing, how and why there are being judged. Thereason why, at least for the present, is that most teachers would answer these rhetorical questions withan "It can't be done" has really nothing to do with the kind of moral imperatives which the Presidentsummons up with terms like "goof off," "flunk out," "standards" and "demanding." The reason is largely a function of two other kinds of (interconnected) facts: 1. the corporate state demands that the university function not so much as a center of inquiry and learning, but rather as a kind of socio-economic sieve.2. many faculty are content to continue to function as parts of the mesh in the sieve, and in exactly thesame way as their fathers and grandfathers before them, with A,B,C, D and F. It may be that this kindof grading system is one the expediencies "which rule our lives, but there is no reason not to admit thatit is merely expedient, no reason to dress a cop-out in moral garments. Were I to support a P/F system over and A-to-F system, it would only be because adopting a P/F would be a step toward admitting theabsurdity of any system which claims to be able to describe the products of women's and men's mindswith a small, closed set of. categories.

Dormies, tenants compare Buchanan Towers complex By ALICE COLLINGWOOD Staff Reporter Buchanan Towers, Western's apartment-residence hall, is different things to differentpeople. Besides being an apartment building with four people or a married couple assigned to each two-bedroom apartment, it has become a residence hall offering meal tickets as well as kitchens to dormies. Dormitory residents have begun moving to Buchanan Towers this week under their existing housingcontracts with no additional charge for trie extra facilities. Dormies like it because it provides morespace and privacy than the regular residence halls. They also like the feeling of independence living in an apartment gives. Married couples also like it because it offers enough space for two people at a betterprice than is generally found" in Bellingham. The people assigned to regular apartments without mealtickets are generally unhappy with the small kitchens and lack of space as compared to mostapartments. Pete Coy, assistant housing director, said the apartments haven't met up to most people'sexpectations because they are not as big as they were advertised to be. "We may have played them up a little too much, but we had never seen one finished. The floor plans looked bigger," Coy said.Freshman Buff Hopper, one of Buchanan Tower's new dormies, likes it because he is "paying the sameprice and getting more for the money." . "We get a meal ticket plus a refrigerator and stove. There's apool table and delicatessen downstairs," Hopper said. "There are also two storage lockers and indoorbike storage." Among the comments added by his roommates, Mark Stewart, Mitch Horand, and Robin Roberts, also freshmen, MT.BakER 106 NO.

Bill Rhind, Ken Harvey, Mike Ray, andRoger Havenstein, all freshmen, share an apartment that they say is "much quieter than Ridgeway and a lot more private." The only objection they have is the "long truck to campus," but they are pleased withhaving no parking charge at Buchanan Towers. "A negative comment on parking conditions came fromsenior Pat Brennen, a married student living in Buchanan Towers. "I don't like the parking space. It'sterrible to build a big whatever-it-is with no parking space," Brennen said. Sophomore Dennis Wrightand junior Greg Graves, recent transfers from Nash Hall, like their apartment because it is more than just one room. "The kitchen living area is small, but useable," Wright said. "I can see why people who haveto cook here gripe, but for us it's okay," Graves added. Diane Johnson, junior, a Buchanan Towersapartment resident, commented that "we have to park in the mud. All they would have to do is dumpsome gravel." Another of Buchanan's dormies, freshman Vickie Robbins, said the nicest things about itare the kitchens and "having boys across the hall." Photo by JIM THOMSON Her roommate, GaylaAdams, added that the kitchen would do nicely for breakfasts and snacks. "We don't really plan oncooking gourmet meals," she said. Unhappy apartment dwellers included Miss Johnson and herroommates Marly s Bertsch, freshman, and Jan Crittenden, junior. Among their complaints were lack ofcounter and cupboard space in the kitchen. They said the size of the bathroom is "impossible for fourgirls." They added that there is "no place to get away from people to s t u d y " with four in theapartment. Brennen's wife Gail, a sophomore, likes Buchanan Towers because it is quiet. She thinks itis nice for a couple. Lee Singer, junior, and his wife Sue said their only complaint about BuchananTowers is the small kitchen. "Married people are not that unhappy here," Singer said. "There are thingswe don't like, but it's cheap." ' "I would like to see equal priority for married students here on a firstcome, first served basis," he added. "One out of five Western students is married and there's nohousing except the slum at Sehome and now Buchanan is opening as a residence hall." Evansproposes landlord-tenant bill A landlord-tenant act has been proposed before this session of the statelegislature in an effort to alleviate issues which caused a similar bill to fail in the last legislature. Gov.Dan Evans, who proposed the new bill, said that it is essentially a contract with each party's rights aswell as responsibilities spelled out. Included in the bill are provisions for: â€”banking the deposit mostlandlords require of tenants. â€” establishing minimum standards of habitability and requiring landlords to keep rental units in the same condition they were in when rented. â€”requiring tenants to keep thedwelling up to the same standards and properly use the facilities of the rental. â€”remedies for bothsides if they fail to fulfill the requirements. -allowing the landlord to make repairs of damage done bytenants and charge them. â€”allowing tenants, in certain limited areas, to have repairs made to the value of two-months rent, so long as a contractor did any work worth more than half-a-months rent.â€”requiring landlords to state clearly on deposit receipts the reasons for which a deposit could bewithheld. -collecting triple damages, or an a m o u n t equal to three-months' rent, if a tenant's landlordthrew him out without a court order or took his property as security for rent. â€”requiring a court hearingwithin 10 days on a suit to evict a tenant and forbids the tenant's ouster until the landlord gets a finalcourt judgment. -codifying of the existing common law regarding landlords and tenants. The bill is nowbefore the House Judiciary Committee and is expected to be acted on in about 10 days. One otherlandlord-tenant â€¢bill is expected to be filed this session by Rep. Peggy Maxie, D-Seattle. She hasindicated she will offer a bill prepared by Seattle legal services. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 21 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, January 21, 1972 Western Front 5 Board denies Elliott charge The Intermediate Judiciary Boardhas not handled any cases of shoplifting from the bookstore.because no shoplifters have been turnedover to them, said Mary Robinson, associate dean of students. George Elliott, Co-op manager, said inan article published in the Jan. 14 edition of the Front that if a student was turned over to the JudiciaryBoard, "his hands were slapped and he was told not to do it again." T h e r e have been no shopliftersbrought before the board since it was established two years ago, Miss Robinson said. There have beenonly two cases before the Board this year, neither dealing with shoplifters. In a letter published in thesame edition, Elliott said, "The College Committee on Standing and Conduct takes severe disciplinarymeasures against any college student apprehended shoplifting in and about Bellingham, regardless ofwhether he is charged and convicted of a violation of state law." Miss Robinson said- that no suchcommittee exists. The Board would handle the matter if a student was turned over to it, but would takeno action against a student if he were charged with a civil offense. A person can not be tried for thesame offense twice unless he asks for a new trial. If both the civil courts and the school prosecuted astudent, he would be in double jeopardy. "I think some people would like to see all civil violationshandled downtown," Miss Robinson said, "but if it is prosecuted downtown, we certainly wouldn't handleit at all." Before the Judiciary Board was set up, disciplinary problems were handled by the dean ofstudents or an all-college board. Miss Robinson said that shoplifting problem has arisen only in the lastcouple of years. She also said that although Ed Ross, Bellingham assistant city attorney, was quotedas saying shoplifters received an automatic 30-day jail sentence . on conviction, 25 days are usuallysuspended.

Students are being cheated out of not only a few dollars and cents but thousands of dollars a quarter; they don't have that kind ofmoney, McConkey said. Students are easy victims of the swindler because they are both transient andeasily frightened by threats of lawsuits and by any legal-looking paper, McConkey said. The officeespecially warns students looking for apartments or roommates to consult the AS housing commissionor a licensed realtor. It also urges students to ask to see any salesman's city solicitors license. If hedoesn't have it, don't do business with him; call the police immediately, it warns.

The mechanic took a wire off the alternator. One service station found the problemand fixed it free of charge. Five other service stations quoted bills ranging from $30 to $150. A bigproblem around Bellingham is shoplifting. A story in the Jan. 14 issue of the Western Front said ashoplifter will automatically receive a 30-day sentence, but that it not quite true. Usually you serve fivedays and you receive no fine, according to McConkey. Of course, there can be a fine and at least a 30-day sentence, he added. The following places are some of the stores having professional security:Ennen's Thriftway, Valu-Mart, Pay and Save Drugs, the Bon Marche, Albertson's, Haggen's and Al'sSave we lis. Read your contracts McConkey urges students never to sign an unread contract. LegalAids will give free counseling to a student on any contract. It is easier for them to help a student beforehe signs a contract or agreement; but if he thinks that he has been cheated or misled in any way, heshould contact the office. They are keeping files on rip-off artists and are militantly and aggressivelyworking on these people, McConkey said. Legal Aids is working with the prosecuting attorney of.Whatcom County, the Attorney General of Washington State in the consumer protection division and the Bellingham police. They h a v e found complete cooperation, particularly with Whatcom County SheriffBernie Reynolds, McConkey said. If busted, keep quiet If you are busted, you have the right to remainsilent and to make a phone call. You should probably do that and no more because most people are not capable of determining their guilt or innocence because the laws are so complex, McConkey said. TheLegal Aids office handles 150 to 200 cases a month. All' information is completely confidential, althoughit does n o t have p r i v i l e g ed communication as an attorney does. When a case is finished, all of its records are destroyed. The services of the office are free and are available 24 hours a day, every day.Students can find someone in the office at Viking Union 217 from 9 a.m. to noon and from 2 to 5 p.m.from Monday to Friday. Any other time, he can call Joe McConkey at his home or be referred tosomeone by the Crisis Clinic. Booze for babes A group of students at Western are attempting toorganize a state-wide petition drive to place the issue of lowering the drinking age to 18 on the November ballot. Initiative 262, which is the formal name for the drive, needs 101,229 signatures before the issuewill be placed before the voters. The campus committee is attempting to organize 31 other colleges inWashington. According to Dave Huey, founder of the group, their group is mainly concerned withcoordinating all the campus g r o u p s and establishing procedural guidelines. They would also like tosee a separate group on campus here, that would handle the actual gathering of signatures in theWhatcom County area. Huey's small committee meets daily in Mount Vernon but will be establishingmeeting times for those interested here on campus. The legislature is also attempting to lower thedrinking age with House Bill 169 and Senate Bill 130. Both bills are in committee with hearingsexpected sometime next week. Blood sought by student A call for blood donations for an open heartsurgery patient in Seattle has been issued. Mark Denton, urban planning senior, asked for donations for his father, Dwaine, who will be undergoing surgery at the U. S. Public Health Service Hospital in Seattle on Tuesday. Denton explained that the King County Blood Bank will not accept credit for donations foropen heart surgery and the blood must be replaced in Seattle. Anyone who wishes to donate but cannot go to Seattle this weekend can call the blood bank any other time to see if Denton's account has beenreplaced. The blood bank, located at Terry and Madison, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. today,tomorrow and Monday. The donations should be given in Dwaine Denton's name. Vote drive startsMonday Students may register to vote in national Elections at Viking Union 006 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.Monday through Friday. Nick Alvarez, Dean Powers and Mrs. Mary Rudd of the Viking Union staff havebeen appointed as registrars by Wella Hanson, Whatcom County Auditor. The registrars will registernew voters, transfer registration from within the county and transfer registration from areas outsideWhatcom County. New voters must have resided in the state for 11 months and in the county for 60days. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 21 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, January, 21, ,1972 Western Front 7' WESTERN FRONT SPORTS Grapplers to face UW:Andersen vs. Owings Hotvet, Fisher lead JV's to 82-67 win over PCC Tomorrow night is going to be abig night for the Viking grapplers. The University of Washington Huskies, rated third by the NCAA andundefeated so far this year, come to Carver Gym at 7:30 for a clash with Lanny Bryant's much improved squad. Washington will bring a majority of their junior varsity wrestlers, but also will bring four of theirvarsity men, one whom is Larry Owings. Owings took the national championship in 1970 in the NCAAdivision for the 158 weight class. Last year he was runner up. So far this season Owings has pinned allbut two men that he has faced. Western also wrestles Seattle Pacific College tonight in Seattle, a team that placed ninth last year in the NCAA college division. Another unbeaten for the Huskies is MikeDowner, wrestling at 126. Two other varsity men that the Huskies will be bringing will be Bill Murdock,177, and Bill Allen, 190. Lee Andersen, wrestling at 158 for the Vikings, placed fourth in the NAIA lastyear and is currently unbeaten for the season. He draws the tough assignment of going up against Larry Owings. Andersen has not pinned as many people as Owings has this season, but has managed to win his matches in convincing fashion. Other top prospects for the Vikings include the other unbeaten Mike Donnelly, wrestling at 118. He will go up against Brad Jacot. Jacot was an All-American in high schoollast . year. Randy Tomaras, 126, draws the other tough assignment of the evening when he goes upagainst Washington's unbeaten Mike Downer. So far this year, Western's only loss has come at thehands of Central, rated third on the NAIA poll of small colleges. In the Vikings' victories, the teammanaged to come up with a narrow win the first time Nationally ranked Viks journey to Oregon W e s te r n ' s undefeated, nationally ranked cagers take to the road this weekend to meet two Oregon schools which have definite ideas about breaking the Vikings' twelve game win streak. Tonight the Viks meetSouthern Oregon College in Ashland, Ore., after which they'll travel to Klamath Falls-, Ore., to battle theOregon Technical Institute Owls, tomorrow night. Western was rated tenth in the nation by the NAIA asof Jan. 12. The Vikings' record was then 10-0, the poll not taking into account Western's wins overCentral and Oregon College, last weekend. Eau Claire State of Wisconsin is ranked number one.Western is the only school west of Texas in the top ten. Coach Chuck Randall's squad was alsoelevated into the top twenty among small colleges by United Press International, this week. The Vikswere ranked 13th in a poll which also had Eau Claire State first. Western was again the highest rankedschool west of Texas, with Californiaâ€”Irvine, ranked 18th, being the only other West Coast team in theUPI top twenty. The Vikings are also ranked first in the Northwest, but will face their toughest test of the year Monday, when the number two ranked team, Eastern Washington visits Bellingham. But thematter at hand will be the Oregon schools this weekend. Viking coach Chuck Randall refuses to takethe trip lightly. "Those Oregon schools have really improved from last year," Randall aid. "Right nowwe've got to take them one at a time or else we'll get ourselves into trouble." SOC returns sevenlettermen from last year's-7-18 record, plus two talented transfers who are leading the Red Raiders inscoring. Allen Graves, a 6-7 senior center leads the returnees, while newcomers Milan Torres and BenMurray, both 6-2, help make the Raiders a ballclub to be respected, especially on their home court. The Owls return Mel Farris to a greatly improved OTI squad. Farris was an All-Evco selection last year,leading the loop in scoring with a 25 point average. However, OTI won a total of three games in 1970-71. Eastern Washington will come to Bellingham on the end of a long, possibly treacherous road trip.Tonight the Savages, who are 3-0 in Evco play, 12-2 for the year and on a nine game win skien goinginto this weekend's action, will be in Monmouth, Ore., to play Oregon College. Tomorrow night Easternjourneys to Ellensburg to tangle with Central. All of which leads to what many feel could easily be thedeciding game of the year for the Evco race, Monday night in Carver Gym. The Savages return threestarters, along with two talented transfers, to bolster their title hopes. Randy Buss, an All-Evco choicelast season, leads Eastern in scoring. Dave Hay den, 6-7 center and Darryl Harris, 6-2 guard round outthe veterans. The game promises to be another standing room-only affair as Eastern would like nothingmore than downing Western on its home floor.

Eastern Washington and theUniversity of Puget Sound bear witness to that fact. Eastern lost to the Vikings' 23-21, and then werecrunched 35-3 last weekend. UPS, likewise, was beaten 25-17 the first time around and then burned 24-9. "One reason for this," said coach Bryant, "is that the kids have steady potential. If they get beat they have added incentive the next time around. Also we had two people become eligible at semester, DaveClimer and Bill Hunt." "Against Washington, we will have Tom Tripple going down from 150 to the 142weight class. This will give us a little added extra strength," he said. Bryant believes his team can make it into the top ten in the NAIA this year. "We have good enough kids to raise to the competition," hesaid. Our competition is probably consistently tougher than any other in the nation," he said. In theEvergreen Conference, Central is rated third by the NAIA, Southern Oregon College is rated fifth, Eastern Oregon seventh, and Oregon College of Education tenth. Captain Jim Hotvet's 32 points and forwardChuck Fisher's 26 led the Western junior varsity basketball team to its tenth win of the year,Wednesday, defeating Peninsula Community College, 82-67, in Carver Gym. The Vikings had to comefrom behind in the first half, as the Port Angeles visitors led by as much as eleven, 20-9, at one point.Western carefully worked the deficit down, before taking the lead at 34-33, and leading at halftime, 36-33. Hotvet had 18 of his counters in the first half, while Fisher tossed in eight. The Viks had to work theball tediously down court against a rugged Pirate press. Peninsula caused coach Rich Tucker's Viks tocommit 12 turnovers in the first half. The win gave Western a record of 8-2, and was the fifth consecutive victory for the Viks PCC is now 9-5. Western came back behind the shooting of Hotvet, who scored 15of the last 19 Vikings points in the first half. The 6-3 freshmen from Central Kitsap raised his teamleading season's a v e r a g e to 15.6 with Wednesday's output. Western held Peninsula without a fieldgoal for the first four and one half minutes of the second half, stretching the lead to ten, 45-35. ThePirates did, however, pull back into a tie, at 55-55, on the strength of their press. At this point, Fisherwent to work scoring 13 points in the next six minutes to put the game out of reach. Western collectedmore than double the number of rebounds PCC grabbed. The Viks won the board battle, 58-26. Foultrouble plagued Western late in the game, as center Dick Bissell and guard Joe Hunter fouled out, whileHotvet and Mark Salzman finished with four personals each. For the Pirates, Bob Coma led the scoringwith 20 points in a reserve role. Ken Nelson and Bill Porter scored 15 and 10, respectively for thevisitors. Chuck Price also scored in double figures for the Viks, notching 10. Bissell grabbed 1_4rebounds, although fouling out with four minutes left. Fisher and Hotvet each had nine. PCC's Porterpicked off 10. Western's next action will be Monday, when the Vik yearlings tangle with the junior varsity from Seattle Pacific College. Tip-off is slated for 5:30 p.m. as a p r e l i m i n a r y to t he Western-Eastern Washington varsity affair.

NEXT TOMcDONALD'S DRIVE-IN BONUS CARDS-11TH LOAD OF WASH FREE By JOHN BROOM StaffReporter Policies on academic use of the Viking Union and a proposed maintenance policy were among the issues discussed at last Friday's meeting of the Advisory Committee on Other Student Facilities(ACOSF). Regarding the first of these topics, the speech department was granted several dates duringwinter quarter on which to hold productions on the Viking Union fourth floor. Kay Burke, VU director andACOSF chairman, said that although this is an academic activity, VU space was allotted since dramaproductions are not adaptable to classroom facilities or regular class schedules. Also discussed was the fact that the journalism program is presently holding newspaper and periodical staff classes on trie third floor of the VU, Miss Burke said. In accordance with their policy on academic use of the VU, thecommittee decided the journalism program should submit a report giving the rationale for holding classes there, Miss Burke said. She also said the maintenance policy discussed and accepted had originallybeen accepted by the Advisory Committee on Housing and Dining Facilities. It was decided Friday thatthe maintenance policy should also be written to include other student facilities before it is sent t o W es t e r n ' s Auxiliary Enterprises committee. Committee members were also informed, Friday, that anyrevival of plans for a south campus activity center must be made now if an activity center is going toplanned this biennium, she said. Last winter the committee rejected plans to build a $5.2 million center. Another topic introduced was the formulation of policies regarding soliciting and sales in the VU area.This was tabled until it could be learned if there presently are any written college policies on this matter. The activity center plans and the VU selling policies will be under discussion at Monday's meeting, 4p.m. in VU 008. Also scheduled for Monday will be. plans by backers of the College Information andVolunteer Center to construct a facility in the VU lobby. wiztronics, inc Every Electronic Need From One Source A C hears exam ideas iâ€”n FAST AND EFFICIENT SERVICE ON ALL makes and models of:Auto Radios/Tape Decks Amplifiers Tape Recorders Tuners Two - Way Radios I LOCATED AT 2500CORNWALL (corner of Alabama Cornwall) PHONE NUMBER: 733-5191 By BOB McLAUCHLAN StaffReporter The Academic Council (AC) postponed action on both a finals week system and a work studyreadmission policy at last Tuesday's meeting. The finals week matter concerns reconsideration fromFall quarter's system where the instructor could use that last week the way he chose, to last year'ssystem of specified . two-hour finals. The council awaits feedback from students and faculty beforetaking action either way. Paul Roley, of the history department, took a poll of several of his classes lastquarter discovering that they were about one-third in favor of last q u a r t e r ' s system, one-thirdopposed and one-third did not care. __ "Whatever we do we must convince people that we are usingthat week fruitfully," Roley added.

Dean Powers, a student, said that there are inherent defects in thepresent system. "There was a maximum of five exams in one day last quarter, while under the oldsystem two exams were maximum," Powers said. "I would think that it would be for the benefit ofstudents that we go back to finals week," Don Easterbrook, of the geology department, added. EarlMoore, a student on the All-College Senate, told the council that in randomly talking to over 200students he found only 20 in favor of last quarter's system. "Students wish to go back to somethingsimilar to the old system," he said. A proposal written by De Hiles, a sophomore psychology major, and several other students which uses some of both systems was presented to AC, says: 1. The professorwho is required to hold class every day of finals week except Friday may either conduct normal classsessions giving no final or giving a final with no daily assignments and using the rest of the time fordiscussions, films, etc. 2. If there is a final exam classes meeting Monday, Wednesday and Friday atan even hour will have a final that Monday; classes meeting at an odd hour those days will have a finalon Wednesday; Tuesday and Thursday even hour classes will have final on Thursday while odd-hourclasses will take final Thursday; a class meeting five days a week has the option of taking exam oneither day and no more than one test may be given finals week. 3. Finals may be given only duringfinals week. The council also agreed to wait for more outside discussion before taking action on anyproposal for pre-registering work-study students. Bob Thirsk, an administrator from admissions, said that there seems to be some psychological thing with students when they go over readmission applicationprocedures which may even lose some of those who might apply for work-study. One problem is that the student coming back to school may find himself out of several classes because of having to registertoo late, Christopher Taylor, of the psychology department, said. "It seems to me that if we are going tosupport work-study, we are going to have to set up some form of leave of absence for students . . . ,"Taylor pointed out. "Readmission applications may discourage students from taking some quarter (otherthan summer off)." Students do not have to reapply after missing summer quarter. The problem seemsto be "how students can reapply with minimum amount of difficulty," Dean William Bultmann, chairmanof AC, said.

Our photographer was told not to take pictures by theman in the approaching car. , . Â° -photo by king Environment vs. development John Stolpe staffreporter Local environmentalists are gasping over prospects that western Whatcom County might betransformed into one giant industrial park within several decades. The Whatcom County EnvironmentalCouncil proclaimed last week" that it would vigorously oppose the construction of any more oil refineries in this area. Mobil operates a refinery near Ferndale and an Atlantic Richfield refinery is underconstruction nearby. Standard Oil of California purchased land in the same vicinity several years ago, but nothing has been done More than 2/700 students elect five AS legislators Students elected five ASlegislators, passed a referendum condemning the war in Vietnam and gave college president CharlesFlora an overwhelming vote of confidence over Grenelda, the pig, during Thursday's general election."We had a much â€¢ larger turnout than we expected," Elections Board Chairman John Engstrom saidFriday. A total of 2,794 ballots were cast, representing about one-third of the student body. "We hadexpected somewhere between 800 and 1,000 members of the student body to vote," Engstrom said. He attributed the locating of election tables in dormitories as a major reason for the large turnout. JimStevens received the most votes at 616, but was closely followed by Ann DeLeon with 614 and BruceHuntoon with 593 votes. Bert Halprin received 472 votes and Joe McConkey got 465. The five legislators-elect will begin their duties Spring quarter. WM^^SK^K^^S^ The candidates that were not elected andthe respective votes they received are: Jim Hansen, 425; Mary Watts, 385; Carol Kuhnle, 383; BettyGulledge, 359; Steve Pitell, 316; Phyllis Woodriff, 254 and Jackie Shelby, 228. There will be threeadditional positions caused by resignations which the legislature will fill by appointment. Engstrom saidhe is accepting applications for these appointments. Legislators are elected for a three-quarter term,excluding Summer quarter. Appointees serve one quarter. The referendum which appeared on the ballotsaid, "The college should, as an institution, condemn the war in Vietnam, and in so doing, deny toorganizations which contribute materially to the prosecution of the war the use of facilities when theyrequest it. "Organizations falling under the jurisdiction of this bill may be exempted only when theyprovide a representative for one hour of speech and discussion open to the entire community." Thereferendum was passed with 648 'yes" votes, but got a substantial 407 "no" votes. "The referendum, did.not get. the overwhelming support that we thought it would," Engstrom said. He attributed this to a"conservative backlash" trend on campus. Grenelda, the pig that was crowned Homecoming Queen last quarter, was one of several nominees to run against the incumbent college president, Dr. Charles Flora.The other nominees declined to run and Grenelda received 407 of the votes while Flora received anoverwhelming 959 of the votes. Of the 2,794 persons voting, 1,428 declined to vote for either Flora orGrenelda, and 1,739 persons declined to vote on the referendum. Nearly half of the on-campuspopulation was represented with 959 voters, while only 334 of the voters said they were off-campusstudents. 589 of the voters were men and 906 were women. The ballots showed that 1,501 of the votersfailed to fill in either the on- or the off-campus space and 1,299 voters failed to check either the "male"or the "female" spaces.

The Environmental Council fears thatmore oil refineries would increase chances for a major oil spillage disaster here, add to the alreadypolluted air and water and pose tax burdens for county residents who would have to provide additionalschools for new industrial families. W h a t c om C o u n t y 's population is expected to double within25 years to 100,000 or more residents, one forecast claims. Fragments of the population bomb and theinflux of additional industry will account for most of the projected increase. Joe Entrikin, director of theW h a t c o m C o u n ty Developmental Council, believes that most of the environmentalists' fears aresubstantially exaggerated. "The county will naturally have more industries within the next 25 years," hetold the Western Front. "But charges that it will be overrun by big industry are unfounded." Entrikin said that county zoning would prevent industry from buying and building on land anywhere it chooses. "If the county fails to zone itself, then it becomes a wide-open placeâ€”the future could be cataclysmic," hewarned. There is currently strong opposition from county residents to zoning the western rural half ofWhatcom County. (continued on page 2.) Moratorium group to march for peace The VietnamMoratorium Committee is planning a mass peace march for April 15, to coincide with a nationwidemovement on that day centered around income tax offices. The Moratorium Committee at its lastmeeting also voted to encourage people not to pay their telephone excise tax and to withhold at least $5 from their income tax statement, and to give that money to the peace movement. The way thetelephone tax refusal works is this: simply subtract the amount of the U.S. tax from your bill, pay therest, include a note saying why you cannot in good conscience pay this excise tax which was re-instituted to help pay for the Vietnam war. (Telephone service .is.in. no.' way, affecte.d.,' ,a.n4' fov, IRSattempts to collect the few dollars several months later.) "Apparently, Mr. Nixon believes he can getaway with an endless prolongation of the war without any opposition," Bernard Weiner, a Moratoriumspokesman, said. "So those of us morally opposed to this war will get the* message to him by cloggingup the wheels of government with our tax refusals. The war machine will find it more and more difficult to grind out death if those of us interested in life do our small bit to end this senseless slaughter." The'Moratorium Committee is also looking Tor ideas for the April 15 peace march outside the FederalBuilding, downtown Bellingham.

MILTON E.TERRY Jeweler 1326 Cornwall 733-2030 The general education requirements for Western must becompleted before students are accepted into Huxley programs. Huxley was formed in 1968 with thecharge to focus on the environment. Now operated in temporary quarters it will move into its ownbuildings early in 1972. Enrollment will be 100 in 1970 but it will grow to 700 by 1973, according to aspokesman for Dean Gene Miller. Edens Hall will remain a dormitoryâ€”for the present, at least.College President Charles J. Flora last month informed Mrs. Bekka Jensen, Edens Hall director, that hehad informed "relevant administrators" that the dormitory is not to be converted to office or academicuse "at this time." Flora's letter was in reply to a letter from Mrs. Jensen which appeared as a guestcommentary in the Feb. 24 Western Front. (continued from page 1.) Entrikin feels that the oil industryneeds no additional water pollution controls and claims that the water discharged from the Mobil refineryat Femdale is "about as pure as you can expect." When asked about the possibility of a major oil spillalong the county's Puget Sound shoreline, he replied, "Any reasonable person cannot deny that thisproblem always exists." As for industrial air pollution, Entrikin charged that pollution was worse 30 or 40years ago from the smoke generated by local sawmills. "Local residents have told me that the air inBellingham is cleaner now than it ever has been, but it has a long ways to go to be sure," he added.Entrikin was reluctant to speculate about additional industries which might find a home in the county,but noted that the prospect of more oil refineries depends upon the future consumer demand for oilproducts. " T h e very industrial attractiveness of the area will place a strong pressure on the agricultural community to sell its land," he remarked. When queried about the charges that the Whatcom CountyDevelopmental Council's main purpose was to lure big industry into the area, Entrikin answered, "Notexactly true." He explained that the Council's primary concern is to assist local industries already herewith their growing pains. The other goal is to provide for a "balanced and orderly" development of thecounty. "Yes, we encourage industrial development, but it would be incorrect to say that we're hurryingeveryone," he added. "We want to bring in the right industries." Entrikin said that the council also works with the local pollution control authorities to assure that new businesses conform to the regulations.FORÂ©mOÂ£N IMM nnim m IHIMWJ iijiuj.iuimnnuaj ---------- Western Front - 1970 March 10 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, March 10, 1970 Western Front 3 Man's future uncertain TODAY- 10 a .m.: Episcopal worship,Campus Christian Ministry. 2:30 p.m.: Multi-media festival planning meeting, third floor Viking Union. 4p.m.: AS legislature, VU 224. 8:15 p .m.: Symphonic band concert, music auditorium.

Apanorama of snow-capped mountains against crystal blue sky flashed on the screen. The room wascrammed. People spilled out the door. "Fat in his technological prowess, man is reaching for the stars." Pictures of natural beauty clicked on, then off the screen. "And yet the; future of man is far moreuncertain today than it was 20,000 years ago." A shot of a vast junkyard replaced the beauty on thescreen. 2001 ended. Thus David Mason began his h o u r - l o n g multi-media "environmentalawareness" presentation last week. The presentation made use of dual slide projectors, a stereo tapesystem, and Mason's narration. Opposing pictures of nature and man's rape of it were simultaneouslyflashed on the screens, creating a kind of "before and after" effect. Mason's recorded voice explainedour delicate ecological balance and how- man is destroying it. He charged that "man is far from even anelementary A frican dancers to perform John Miles contributor Les Danseurs Africain will presentthemselves to the Western community at 8 p.m. S a t u r d a y in the music auditorium. There are 45members of the company including 16 musicians and drummers, 6 pygmies and 6 of the famous childdancers of Cameroons. The ensemble is, in the words of Bob Gaus of American Theater Productions, avery " p r i m i t i v e " group. Few members have been outside of tribal circles except while touring withthe ensemble. To illustrate his point, Gaus cited an instance recently in Toronto where the road manager discovered three pygmies sitting on their hotel room bed,smoking a wool sock in their pipe. Woolsocks are rare in Cameroons, as are TV sets which drove the same three little men into a closet in flightfrom the noisy box. On stage, colorfully costumed and moving to familiar rhythms, these people aremore at home. T h e y give themselves enthusiastically to the program of songs, dances and tribal ritesof at least 12 major tribes and provide the audience with a remarkable cultural and ethnic experience.The present tour is the first visit of the Les Danseurs Africain to America. Past years have found themthroughout Europe and Africa. They have participated in 20 international folk and art festivals. In Algiers,they were the stars of the Pan-African Festival where they vied for honors with 100 ensembles and tookfirst prize. Commission decides goals The Academic Reform Commission is working for more studentrepresentation on all sub-committees, according to coordinator Larry Phalan. One example illustratingthis need, according to Phalan, is the fact that there are presently no student members on theAcademic Facilities Committee which deals with building planning on campus. He said that studentsshould have a voice in the expansion of their campus. Another current goal of the Academic ReformCommission is to get student membership on t h e College Admissions [Church Sunday SeWlCeS 11a.m. â€” Lutheran 4 p.m. â€” Episcopal THURSDAY 6:30 p.m. â€” Catholic CCM House Committee,presently consisting of only faculty members and administrators. "The main factors to be considered/when deciding whether or not students should be placed on committees are selection procedures andcriteria, and the number of students to be placed on each committee*," Bernie Weiner, commissionmember and advisor, said. A suggestion proposed by the Academic Reform Commission stated thatthere should be six faculty members and at least one student, possibly more, placed on eachcommittee. "Committees do their work more by consensus than by vote and the next time there is anopening available that opening should be filled by a student," Greg Baker said. -SSJta.

Mason, assistant professor of the civil engineering department atBerkeley, is on a 3-year leave of absence from Fairhaven College, where he teaches biology. He expects to return to Fairhaven in the Fall of 1971. His visit to Western was made possible in part by theUniversity of British Columbia, which is sponsoring his show for three days this week. He was c o - s p o n s o r e d by the Environmental Quality Council. Mason proposed a philosophy "more reasonable toman's existence," and an involvement with processes, not materials. People eat prepackagedhamburgers without stopping to consider that the meat was once a living cow with "soft brown eyes"whose head was sheared off, he said. Theater tryouts to begin Auditions will be held in Bellinghamduring the fourth week of March for singers, dancers, actors, musicians and technicians who areinterested in joining the Coeur d' -Alene Summer Theater for the 1970 ' season. Anyone who isinterested in applying should send a resume to Robert E. Moe, general manager of the theatercompany, before March 15 so that he can schedule the auditions. Four musicalsâ€”Hello Dolly!, Oliver,Guys and Dolls and Man of La Manchaâ€”will be produced in repertory July 3â€”Sept. 6. Rehearsalsstart June 15. The 16 company members, who in past years have come from all parts of the UnitedStates, receive room and board and a small salary for their services. Company members will findthemselves working with such fine musical comedy personnel as Tom Nash, who is presently finishinghis doctoral work in theatre at the University of Florida, and Valleda Woodhall, ex-professional dancerwho appeared in the original London productions of Brigadoon and Oklahoma!. "This is the sixth year for repertory summer theater in Coeur d' Alene and each year it has become more successful. "Last yearthe group played to more than 6,000 people in the 190-seat theater," Moe said. Contract agreement met A standardized contract has been accepted by both the Tenants Union and many landlords of Westernstudents. Housing Commissioner Gary Evans said that a week ago the Tenants Union met with about30 landlords in an attempt to arrive at an agreeable standardized contract. Evans said that one contracthas been tentatively approved, with length the only real problem left. Several landlords want thecontract to be shortened, but Evans hopes that the contract will stay its present length to preventloopholes. E v a n s said that a tenant-landlord board may be set up to act as social pressure onsmaller landlords. The board could possibly be able to force a registration of all Bellingham landlords,limit the number of persons in certain houses, or put the burden of inspecting houses over to the firedepartment to help out the city engineer. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WEDDING RINGS AND BANDSeach ring individually cast in silver: $20-$60 in gold: $45-$250 at the 21 7 Gallery 217 Holly * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * fashion fabrics knitting yarn needlework crafts y o u n g f a s h i o nideas in k n i t t i n g , s e w i ng s e c o n d f l o or UM ! 1 2 5 W.

Having presided as editor for the last two quarters it is now time to bow out--in deference to other academic pursuits. In retrospect, I have learned much fromthe experience, but if I were asked what was the most important thing learned it would be the fact thatyou just can't please everyone. Throughout the quarters, the Western Front has been periodicallyattacked by students and faculty members as too radical, by students and faculty members as tooconservative, by student government as not representing them enough, by some as being too "representative of student government and by some as not being representative of much of anything.Plainly, it is hard for us to be all these things at once, as much as some people keep telling us.Throughout the year we have operated under the premise that this was a student-faculty-administrative-staff newspaper and have tried to present the news truthfully and as equally as we could. Sure, now andagain we failed to cover an event we should have; nobody bats .1000. Under the strain of class loads ithas been hard to produce a perfect paper. Oddly enough, the same people who have criticized us for not dispensing with carrying what's-happening-on-campus type news and not printing material pursuant to"the cause," whatever that particular group's cause may have been, are the same groups that, whenasked to contribute to the newspaper in the form of articles and-commentaries/ have produced little.There is also the problem of money. Currently we are financed partially by the Associated Students Theysubsidize us for four pages. Advertising revenues determine how much larger the paper is. The size ofour paper, therefore, is comensurate with the number of ads our personnel can sell. Sometimes, whenbusiness is good, we sell enough to earn a 16-page paper. When Bellingham decides not to advertise,and the current receding economy has promoted this tendency, then we run only eight pages. Now onmany occasions we have much more copy than we have space. Hence, a lot of good copy doesn't getprinted. Such a limited financing method is not adequate for this size of a college, which should bepublishing a twice-weekly paper or at least a 20-24 page paper per week. The method of financing theWestern Front should be increased to provide a larger newspaper, and should be i n d e p e n d e n t ,so as to prevent t h e paper from having to be subservient to any political faction. If you will take a look at our letter page this week you will see that not everyone has the same viewpoint on political matters. Toallow the paper to be monopolized by any one group would be to invite the censorship of material that isagainst any particular cause. We believe, that the vast majority of people accept the Western Front as a factual newspaper and we have tried hard to make it that way. â€¢ We can only hope that it continues to be such a paper in the future, and that it may be allowed to grow with Western. â€”Mike Gowrylowthewestern front Official weekly newspaper of Western Washington State College second class postagepaid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 phone 734-8800 editorial, ext. 2277 advertising, ext. 2276 MikeGowrylow Adele Saltzman Bob Burnett Jim Austin Jul Stephenson editor-in-chief managing editorassistant to the editor copy editor assistant copy editor Bob Taylor sports editor Lyn Watts exchangeeditor Maryjo Hardy ad manager Bill Woodland business manager R.

Agnew condemned those who favor such innovative practices as "supercilious sophisticates" during a Republican dinner in Chicago last week. "When you are sick, do you wish to be attended by aphysician who entered medical school to fill a quota, or because of his medical aptitude?" the vice-president argued. Brilliant argument. Agnew could easily have added, "When you are a taxpayer, do you wish to be served by a vice-president who was chosen as a patsy, or because of his politicalqualifications?" Look around this campus and tell yourself that Western has its fair share of Blacks,Indians and Chicanos. Keep in mind that we have an Indian reservation within eye-sight across the bayfrom this placid campus. The major argument against ethnic quotas and open-admissions plans is thefear that they will collapse the educational standard. What educational standard? j You mean thestandard which is based on giving White-oriented I middle America entrance exams to high school kidsfrom the ghettos? You mean the standard which favors those students from at J least financiallycomfortable homes? Or the standard which still , coddles the White-dominated fraternity and sororitynetworks which | are allowed to exist not 90 miles from where you stand? Whites aren't any smarter than Blacks or any other ethnic culture in this nation, despite what your parents may have told you. So, it allboils down to one thing: The minorities in this nation do not have an equal chance for higher educationalopportunities because of conditions which the federal government, administered by Nixon and Agnew,allow to exist. You have the answers, Mr. Vice-President. If not ethnic quotas or open-admissions, whatdo you recommend? / awake and nature speaks John Miles contributor The other morning I awoke andlay in bed looking out at the unusual morning of bright sunshine and blue sky. I lay there. Off in thewoods a bird sang. It was the first bubbly bird song that I had noticed in a long time. Perhaps on thisbright warm morning a resident, long silent, had decided to sing his approval. Or perhaps a new migrantarrival was greeting the day, remarking on the beauty of the fir and the lake and the wispy mist risingslowly from the water in this particular spot. Perhaps even the songster had been carrying on his adulation to the day for many mornings and only at this moment did it penetrate my crowded consciousness. Ithought about the bird and my perception of it as I stumbled around my house making breakfast. I saw the pace of my life and the limits of my world. At the same time the poverty of that life struck me. I am aperson who enjoys birds and flowers and quiet conversation and warm rocks and trees. But so often I rush around doing what is expected of me and miss these things. My breakfast done, I went out the front door and stood for a while enjoying the morning. Compulsively I looked at my watch and calculated the timewhen I should be at work. Here, I noted, is a daffodil almost five inches high. The air is warm and moist,and my feathered friend is still singing. Little green heads are pushing earth up all around. But I must beoff to work! Words of Thoreau came to me as I drove to town: "Let not to get a living be thy trade, but thysport. Enjoy the land, but own it not.

Free parking is not a good goal in the year of our Ford 1970 because cars are not goodthings. Free parking, remember, is just another square on the monopoly board. Parking should be made steadily more ' difficult, not easier. The idea is to discourage car ownership. The city should be pressedto develop a better transit system, not including the internal combustion engine. To create such pressure the college ought to plan a steady phase-out of par king lots. Who likes to see even one camperparked in Red Square? Who likes to see cars parked anywhere? The answer is not to find the ownersomewhere else, out of sight, to park, but to encourage him to get rid of his car. The out-of-sight parkinglot is a fairy tale. God sees everything and so does the ecological balance. I own a car myself anddespite ideals will probably not get rid of it until high taxes or penalties encourage me to. Therefore Isupport such taxes on every use of an automobile, including parking, proportional to the resultingpollution of air and land. The point being stressed by the demonstrations is that current parking fees are unjust. T rife-but free parking for everyone would be a short-sighted solution. Parking fees in theneighborhood of $100 a quarter, applied as subsidy to expand the transit system, would be moresensible. Sooner or later we car-owners will have to give up some mobility. Better sooner. What tacticscan be used to get that across? Elsewhere, for instance, car engines and even a new Chevy have beenceremonially buried.

'Little morsel' offered as food for thoughtEditor: We are alarmed at the tremendous amount of food left for the garbage by people eating at Saga.Just ask any plate-scraping dish-jockey who works there and we guarantee you that he'll agree.Students have no right to criticize Georgia Pacific if they eat at Saga and waste food. Those concernedabout the air they breathe should also be concerned about the food they eat. This means they shouldeat all of it. To sum it up, we are launching a campaign against food pollution. We defend our positionon the following grounds: 1 . Ethical and moral grounds. People are starving in the world. 2. Practicalgrounds. With an increase in wasted food, there will probably be an increase in Saga food prices.Whose fault is that? 3. Aesthetic grounds. It doesn't look nice to see people wasting food and we doubt whether it is good etiquette either. 4. Political grounds. It doesn't improve our "American Pig" imageabroad. 5. Sociological grounds. With continued food wasting there is a reinforcement of unhealthysocial norms that work to the detriment of s o c i e t y . In o t h er words . . . people are getting used toit. We invite you to digest this little morsel of thought: If human mouths were replaced by garbage canswe could sustain quite a population! Dick Clark senior music Marty Wener junior political scienceEditor: We hear much these days about the quality of our environment and the way pollution isgradually tearing down the ecological systems on which our very existence as a human populationdepends. Due to the long and current war in Vietnam, our national policy seems to be quite firmlycentered around killing. The gradual increase in military involvement since the mid-fifties has meant agradual increase in war goods in the total gross national product. Now we are faced with theenvironmental crisis that doesn't merely go away by becoming the most fashionable dining topic. Theenvironmental crisis will cease to exist only when our national administrators become receptive to theidea of preservation rather than killing. It is they who have the budgetary power to direct our technologyto the sciences of our ecological systems, and it is we who lose if preservation of the natural greeneryand beautiful forests around us doesn't soon become the national priority. We lose physically when wereplace oxygen-producing trees with concrete pathways for smog- producing vehicles. Mentally we losewhen we box large numbers of our population into concrete steel and glass cities which quickly alienate people from people. The time has come to clean house. But before we can clean house, we must havethe best tools we can lay our hands on. And these tools are not the bombs, tanks, guns and acts ofwar that perpetuate their existence. The tools we need are time and energies expanded toward thecollection of ecological data and the implementation of emergency action in accordance with thosefindings. Hopefully the 1970's will become increasingly meaningful for all of us. H.

This bill is a valid exercise by students of their right to determine the future ofthis institution and the way it affects our lives. However, there is some doubt concerning theadministration's sincerity in honoring this bill. Their response on Wednesday will be a good measure oftheir willingness to respond to the community. It is important that we are all present at 1 p.m. in the VU lounge because we are really wondering if this institution doesn't exist for the corporation before it exists for the students, if it doesn't respond to profit before people.

Even one of the state colleges While this is true at Western, has asked for andreceived state it is not true in general. Editor: As a Western student, I was both angry and insulted after voting in the recent AS Legislative election. Included on t h e ballot were two referendums; the firstwhich states: "The college should, as an institution, condemn the war in Vietnam and in so doing, deny to organizations which contribute materially to the prosecution of the war the use of facilities when theyrequest it. Organizations falling under the jurisdiction of this bill may be exempted only when theyprovide a representative for one hour of speech and discussion open to the entire community.

The fee for individually reserved stalls is $3 per month for uncovered stalls or $5 permonth for covered. Free parking lots are routinely developed with tax money at other state installations,public schools, junior colleges (for students as well as employees), hospitals, prisons, etc. It may bethat Western does not wish to use this avenue for relief of the parking fee burden, but to imply that it isnot done is to misrepresent the case. George Witter associate professor mathematics STUDENTS J f t r* STORE NO STORE MORE CONVENIENT WHY ! ! The Students' Co-op will attempt to answer allquestions regarding the operations: 1. Why does the Bookstore charge so much for books? Thebookstore sells the books at the price established by the publisher. The price is known to the professorwhen the publisher's salesman calls and sells the value of the books. The price is the same throughoutthe United States. To those people who understand mark-ups and are familiar with the average retailer'smark-ups knows that 20% is considered a very low mark-up. The discount or mark-up must pay for thefreight which is now approximately 4%. It includes the cost of building, maintenance, receiving, clerical,bookkeeping, pricing, labor in placing on shelves, cashiering and pilferage. Then if there is less than 20%of the order remaining on the shelf and will not be used again, the books must be returned with all of thelabor in reverse form and costs. Many of the publishers refused more than 20% of the order to be returnedat which time they are sold to a dealer at a great loss. . Example: 18.2% of all books purchased for thefall quarter of 1969 had to be returned. Seven hundred ninety requisitions for approximately 90,000 bookswere ordered by 436 professors which comprised 2,000 titles and were ordered on 1,450 book orders tothe: majority of 850 publishers. The bookstore is essentially a service organization for having the itemsrequired for school use. This is why it is necessary to carry many other items to help pay the cost ofdoing business. following for the position of Western College President: "Grenelda / Charles Flora."Both of these referendums are irrelevant and insult my intelligence as a student at Western. Concerning the first referendum, I do not see how a public instutition such as Western could condemn the war inVietnam as a whole when not all of its members agree that the war should be condemned. To forbidorganizations who believe other than the proposers of this referendum do, access to Western's facilities,is in my opinion exhibiting prejudice and narrow-mindedness. No organization, for or against the war,should be denied the use of public facilities to express their opinions and beliefs, or to be forced toparticipate in "one hour of speech and discussion" or to be tested in any way before being allowed theuse of Western's facilities. The second referendum is in bad taste and is an exhibition of immaturity byits founders. Several people may not agree with Dr. Flora's actions or statements as president of thiscollege, but to compare him in such a way as to subject him to this type of ridicule is in very bad tasteand exhibits complete lack of maturity. Whether someone was trying to be clever or whether in allseriousness, I am shocked that Western students should stoop so low as to accept the r i d i c u l o u s n e s s of this referendum. I shudder at the thought that people like John Engstrom and the electionhoard allow this kind of narrow-mindedness and stupidity to appear on public ballots. All Westernstudents are not radicals, nor do they allow themselves to be manipulated by a minority.

VU dogs in violation Editor: I have beeninformed by the State of Washington Department of Health that the Viking Union is in consistentviolation of section .84050(5) of the State Board of Health rules and regulations governing food servicesanitation; it states "No live birds or animals shall be allowed in any area used for the conduct of foodservice establishment operations." Dogs are known to be carriers of organisms which are causativeagents of food-borne disease illnesses. When dogs are allowed in food service establishments, they are very likely to spread contamination to an eating utensil, a food worker or the food itself. Accordingly, Iam asking for cooperation from all members of the College Community in assisting the Union and foodservice employees in prohibiting dogs from entering the building and in removing those that get in. If weare unable to solve the problem, it could result in the closure of food service areas in the Viking Union.Chris Karp, in behalf of Viking Union Staff Offers thanks for success A letter of thanks: To: Westernand all others who were concerned and who participated From: Black Student Union Member Allen DonStowers Observing our Black Culture Week from Feb. 21 - March 1, 1970,1 am expressing my mixedemotions.

Artist uses light dynamics Forrest Goldade staff reporterConstructs in light are dynamically explored in Lawrence Hanson's Light Works 2 now on display in theArt building gallery. Hanson, assistant professor of art, uses light projections to create scupltured space. The following dialog is with Hanson and a Fron t reporter. Front. The thing that first comes to mind is-that you seem to view art in a very different way. - than other sculptorers. What do you foresee as futurepossibilities of what you are doing with light? Hanson. I don't think I would say I'm working differentlythan other artists. In fact the most interesting sculptorers around today are working in the kind ofsituation that I am working, i.e. the manipulation of space and objects, and of material to make an object. Most of the interesting guys today are, maybe, still making objects, but they don't think of thoseobjects as old fashioned sculpture, something that just sits there, they think of it as a means ofarticulating space. A means of creating a certain kind of experience, a means of changing you. Front.This is sort of the Dada mystique, the person looking and viewing and being part of the show, actuallyhelping in the manipulation of space. Do you see ramifications of the Dada movement in what you aredoing, or is that too narrow a view backwards? Hanson. I think that is too narrow but I think you haveyour finger on a very important kind of influence on myself and lots of other people today. In a historicalsense, when Picasso and Braque collaged something to a painting they provided the kind of informationthat Duschamp, in particular, picked up. What the artists have taken from Duschamp is that he is notlimited to using traditional: material and ideas but can literally make art out of anything. Front. In otherwords the junk shop artist may take something not being used as it was constructed and create a newjuxtapositioning enabling the perception of new forms. Hanson. Even that is limiting. John Cage forinstance thinks all sound is music. A lot of his pieces consist of taking live sound from a given situationand then playing it back at random in the composition. Front. Do you feel that you have exhausted whatlight can do? Hanson. Light is a very viable medium. One of the things that particularly appeals to me isits intangibility. It is there. You can see those paths of light and yet you can walk through them andinterfere with the light before it arrives on the wall. One of the pieces that I would like to do would be toamass a group of search lights and make a column of light extending 20 feet across and between threeand a half and five miles high. It would be just as solid as any sculpture. Front. I like your environmentallight box. Do you foresee any use of your box as an architectural anomaly to be found in houses of thefuture? Hanson. If I had a house with enough space to build a light box I'd probably build one. It might bethe love-making room, or the contemplating room. But I really don't feel that attached to my work. One ofthe nice things about it is that it can be turned off. Thought of grapes 'flushes' L-2 Margaret Thorntonstaff reporter Eight people crowded into L-2 last Thursday night to listen to a speaker on the Californiagrape boycott. Tim Determan, recent graduate of the University of Washington in bacteriologicaloceanography, was well-prepared with information on his topic, and the handful of persons who camewere ready to listen. The average annual earnings of men on California farms is $2,051, according toDeterman. "That's not a hell of a lot to live on." Unemployment insurance, health and pension plans, and overtime pay are not common to these workers; nor is the majority assured of steady work. Because of sub-standard conditions such as being without drinking water or toilets, the farm workers who pickgrapes have been on strike for five years. At this point, about a half dozen adults and a young girlclanging an instrument alongside her intruded, not giving a second thought that the room was alreadyoccupied. As Determan and his audience kindly left the room, he laughed and said, "I thought we werebeing invaded by grape growers, and I was getting a little scared. The audience dwindled down to mytwo friends and myself, as Determan finished his comments in the hallway. Before leaving the lecturehall, this reporter went back to L-2 out of curiosity to see what the adults and young girl were in such ahurry for. They were just sitting there, whatever was to take place had not yet begun... .

TTT ---------- Western Front - 1970 March 10 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, March 10, 1970 Western Front Drug Symposium It's a MAD world.... in retrospect America, apleasure seeking society, is a MAD (mind-altering d r u g ) world of anti-intellectualists, scapegoatersand smoke-screeners, according to Dr. Joel Fort. Author and. specialist in public health, drug abuseand social reform, Fort established the San Francisco Center for Special Programs and has been aleading spokesman for reform of drug laws and moving America beyond drugs. In his speech he said that scapegoaters seize on practices prevalent among young people, producing a smoke screen in whichthe more talk there is about drugs, the less discussion there is concerning the basic problems. Thisleads to a growing wave of anti-intellectualism. "The mass of Americans don't know how to think anddon't want to think," preferring to allow "experts" without proper training to give a distorted view of thedrug problem." These "experts" falsely label mind-altering drugs as narcotics, a term which, in fact,includes such household items as aspirin, penicillin, alcohol, tobacco and Coca Cola. Fort defineddrugs as "any biologically active substance" and said that no drugs are totally harmless. He used aspirin as an example which is responsible for several thousand deaths per year, mainly among children.Many people commonly divide drugs into two categories, hard and soft narcotics. He attacked thismisconception saying that the latter is a "beautiful term if its only purpose is to foster ignorance andfear." Only one type of narcotic exists; that which is physically addictive. He compared the term "softnarcotic" to "soft pregnancy" by stating that "a woman is either pregnant or not pregnant just as drugsare either narcotics or not narcotics." Dr. Joel Fort â€”photo by shoblom He said the majority of drugsused by society are not narcotics. "Young people are so interested in drugs because they live in a drug-saturated, drug-obsessed society whose motto is ' b e t t e r living through chemistry.'" The youngergeneration has accepted the definition of the older generation that "chemicals are where it's at." Fortattributed the widespread use of drugs among youths to peer group pressure, the desire to be sociallyaccepted. These drugs are made even more attractive to people who see themselves as disaffiliated from society because the drugs are illegal. - Those convicted of drug use are guilty of committing a "crimewithout a victim;" the use of criminal law has been unsuccessful and destructive. Several hundredthousand youths are arrested because of "barbaric" drug laws, he said. Youths with arrest records canbe barred from future o p p o r t u n i t i e s and face expulsion from schools. "Americans are told thereare only two alternatives to the drug problem; criminalization or legalization." ... Fort condemned this as untrue by saying there is a need to reorient priorities, to be emphasized not as a drug problem but as a human one. Present laws "go soft on drugs and hard on people." Fort's solution is reform; take the drug user out of the criminal law. Drug use should be seen as a public health matter with Drugs vs.society.... "Prior to 1913, when the United States made the use of heroin illegal, drug addicts could goto their local drug stores and buy their habits," Dr. Robert Meade, professor of psychology, said in adrug symposium panel presented last Wednesday for Drug Week. Other featured speakers were Dr.David Pevear, assistant professor of geology; Bernard Weiner representing the Free University; andstudents Gene Oliver, junior, and Flip O'Reilly, senior. Meade centered his presentation around the"elsewhere," "elsewhen" theory. He made the distinction between soft and hard drugs by labelling suchdrugs as marijuana and hashish as soft and heroin and opium as hard. Speaking of the drug addictsbefore 1913, he said that they were not missionaries trying it get others to turn on. However, after 1913these same addicts became thieves and pushers to pay the increasing price of hard drugs. "In a year or so we had a drug problem in this country similar to the prohibition situation years later," he said. Herelated "elsewhere" to the problem of obtaining hard drugs in Persia, whose supply has been cut off bythe United States. He also said that hashish is no more of a real addition problem in India thanmarijuana is in the United States. "No one worries so there's no problem," he said. "Kids are usingsmack in the elementary schools and this is really frightening. Those of us who are into the head scene, that fail to tell these kids what it's all about, are at fault for the way drug sub-culture has beenperverted. "Drugs are like anything else-they can be good or bad. Most people abuse them and thesepeople aren't contributing to the value transformation that is necessary." Oliver said, "The scene on anycollege campus has come out of the central areas of big cities. It has been going on in places likeHarlem for more than 50 years. To speak of the drug scene as if it has just hit isn't totally accurate."We live in a somewhat enlightened environment. College campuses are the places to get into differentthings. People are exposed to drugs around the college." "We amongst our peers feel that certain types of activities are acceptable and taking drugs is one of those activities. The biggest problem today is that the majority of the population doesn't know what's going on with drugs. This includes people who usethem." Pevear divided his view of man into two parts; biological and social man. "Biological man isadapted to fit the set of circumstances in which we presently find o u r s e l v e s . Perhaps thisaggressiveness is something we no longer need now that we live in our technological society." gt;Speaking of social man, he said, "We may be an animal who is equipped for one kind of society, but interms of rapid cultural development we are very different from the society we now live in. Weiner spokeon problems raised by drugs in the social scene. "It seems nostalgic to think back to the4960's; itseems like another era. LSD wasn't heard of outside Cambridge, Mass., and then all of a sudden out ofthe ghettos came a huge abuse of pot. It was an optimistic world. "People in the sixties were lovingpacifists. All of us got fooled. They thought the pacifism was due to drugs but the drugs were onlyheightening the aggression. 9S6 kgkiaiteHi**s i*aSr tb: ffSwrn LAST CHANGE QiscGUflt travel toEurope Faculty, Staff, Students Family I.

Fort said he believes drug educational processes should begin in the elementaryschools. "If education were more mind-expanding, there would be less need for students to turn todrugs," he said. "So far neither education nor treatment have been tried properly in this country. We areunable to tolerate complexity and ambiguity in our lives," he concluded. Beauty is how you feel,.

Western's catching will be in the hands of twohighly-regarded transfers, Rick Mark and Kevin Miller. Mark is from Wenatehee Valley College and Miller is from Shoreline Community College in Seattle. The Viks' proven keystone combination, finds DaveMiller at second base and Steve Anderson at shortstop. Miller and Anderson proved a tough double-play team in the late stages of last season. Miller also showed some bat-strength, hitting .257. The rest ofWestern's infield returns intact. At first base is Ron Porterfield, who hit .270 last Spring and led the Viks in runs-batted-in. Porterfield also showed defensive talents, leading the Viks in fielding with a .993average. Third base finds a three-way fight among Roger Miller, a three-year letterman, Jerry Workmanand Neil Crawford. Workman started the Viks' last games; while Crawford is a transfer from Mesa Junior College in Colorado. Crawford could also see outfield action. Steve Boyer, an ex-marine, who was once almost signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers, will also see infield duty. . Heading the Viking outfield isAll-Evco Jesse Chavez. Chavez, a switch-hitting centerfielder, is probably the best defensive: outfielder in Evco. Also in the outfield is the Viks' leading hitter from last season, John Perucca. Perucca cloutedthe ball for a .362 clip last Spring. Coaching the Viks is Connie Hamilton who begins his third season at the helm. With this list of players, this Spring's diamond squad should be Hamilton's best. The Viks'first game will be on March 23 against Wenatchee Valley College in Wenatchee. The first home actionfor Hamilton's baseballers will be on April 14 against the University of Puget Sound.

Jerry Nist and Glenn Hindin played the roles of iron-men for the Viks, playing every minute of every game without a rest, a total of 200 minutes. Vancouver City College won the championship with British Columbia I n s t i t u t e of Technology (BCIT) finishing second. In Westerns first game of the afternoon, BCIT handedthe Viks a 3-1 loss. Gary Byron scored the lone goal for Western. Western shut-out the Royal Rhodes2-0 in their second game. Hindin scored both goals. Western suffered a severe blow in this game, whentheir ace halfback Bobby Hansen was carried off the field with severely bruised ribs. Western's thirdgame ended in a scoreless tie with Selkirk College. Although the Viks dominated play at both ends ofthe field, Western couldn't find the target for goals. Western trounced Malaspina College, 4-1 in the Viks' fourth game. Hindin put on a terrific scoring display by pumping in three goals. Clayton Finkboneradded the other goal. Western lost its fifth game to Vancouver City College, 2-0. Two weeks ago, theUniversity of Oregon, the Oregon Collegiate Soccer Comference champs, defeated Western's WesternWashington Soccer Conference champs, 6-3.

Who will represent faculty? by TIM SCOTT Students arriving early to class will no longer be confronted by Christians preaching from the front of the room. Reacting to complaints from faculty and students, C.W. McDonald, dean of students, reachedagreement Friday with the Christians involved limiting their speaking to the free speech platform behindthe bookstore and to Red Square. The free speech platform will be available at any time but Red Square can be used only in the break between classes. Robert Main, one of five Christians who participated inthe between-class preaching said that they felt that the break between classes was a good time toreach a large number of people. "We thought that during the 50 minutes the students are in class butduring the 10 minutes they were free," Main said. Dean of Students McDonald, however, said thatalthough the chances of needing to invoke state law were "pretty slim," the actions of the Christianscould be seen as a violation of disruption and trespass laws. "The academic atmosphere is changed bythis person being there," McDonald said. "In my v i ew that c o n s t i t u t es disruption." The actions of the Christians between classes drew vocal complaints from the students being preached to. A majorcomplaint was that since they had to be in the room for a class and couldn't get up and leave, t h e C h r i s t i a n ' s efforts constituted an invasion of privacy. Main answered this charge by quoting passagesfrom the Bible which he says show it is the Christian's duty to warn people of the dangers of non-Christian life. "We're not trying to be offensive," he said, "we're trying to warn them. But the Lorddislikes lukewarmness, and we're getting people cleared out of the middle." "When Jesus Christ cameinto the world men crucified Him. How can I expect to be loved by the same kind of people who crucified Him?" Dean of Students McDonald said that the two Christians he spoke with Friday about witnessingin the lecture halls are not students at Western. College policy does not try to discourage non-studentsfrom coming on campus. "We are not all that hard-lined, but when it comes to going into classes, thisbecomes a real disruption," McDonald said. by STEPHANIE SMITH Faculty Council, senate facultycaucus, or some completely different body? Who will represent Western's faculty in purely facultymatters? A forum to discuss faculty representation on campus will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow in MillerHall 163. The forum was called by the executive committee of the Faculty Council in response to apetition signed by more than 230 faculty members asking for some measure of faculty opinion aboutrepresentation. The forum is a response to the petition, and not a reply to last week's All-College Senate action on faculty representation, according to Eunice Faber, chairman of the Faculty Council's ad hoccommittee to assess faculty representation on campus. The senate action, according to ChairmanGeorge Gerhold, said that proposals concerned with strictly faculty matters must come before a facultyrepresentative body to get input from the faculty before being presented to the senate. This would affectproposals on matters such as tenure and promotion by the senate welfare committee. The motion didnot specify what "faculty representative body" means. At present a senate by-law designates theFaculty Council as this body. The urgent concern with faculty representation on campus is, at leastpartially, a result of the upcoming decision by the Board of Trustees on recognition of the All-CollegeSenate as the official governing body of the college. The senate has been in a two-year trial periodawaiting the final approval of the Board. If the senate is approved as the governing body by the Board ofTrustees, faculty members want to assure that adequate faculty representation is provided for in thesenate constitution.

In a public hearing before the Constitution and Elections Committee Wednesday, statelegislators and the public listened to arguments for and against ratification of the proposed 27thamendment to the Constitution of the United States that is intended to insure equal rights to men andwomen under the law. Attorneys, housewives, educators, labor leaders, students, business persons,men and women, Blacks, and Whites, stated their reasons why, or why not, Washington state shouldadd its name to the list of 25 states that have already ratified the amendment. Rep. Lois North of Seattle said the legal aspect of the ERA should not be the focus of discussion, but rather the social andeconomic factors which lay the framework for law. Tension occurs in the legal system when the socialand economic beliefs change, she said, and change in law is needed to reflect a more accurate socialsituation. Of course not all people are affected by the change, North continued, and that is why peopleare at loggerheads over this amendment. Proponents of the ERA stressed the long period of time thathas lapsed since women got the vote in 1920 but failed to get equal rights. Law by law revision wouldtake too long again, they contended. Opponent Mrs. Paul Derr, a Spokane attorney, said correctinginequality by one amendment is too simplistic for dealing with such a complicated issue. The two sidesdiffered greatly in their expectations of how the courts would interpret the amendment. Proponents saidthe courts will act reasonably in regard to the differences between men and women and will protect theright of privacy. The opposite argument was that if sex is not a factor under the law, the logical extension is that women will fight in combat, men and women will have to share restrooms, women will have to put their children in day care centers and go to work and husbands would no longer have to support theirwives. Cornelius Peck, professor of law at the University of Washington, said it is time to stopconsidering characteristics irrelevant to the situation. A stereotype of a woman has been sanctified under law so that a person is assumed to have certain characteristics because she is a woman. Anotherargument offered by opponents of the ERA was that protective legislation for women would be strickenfrom the law. Attorney Ken McDonald countered this by saying that much protective legislation is already considered unconstitutional and that the Teamsters and the United Auto Workers are in favor of theERA. Throughout the three-hour hearing supporters referred to a long list of sexist practices: longerterms for drunken driving for women, no counseling for women in the Seattle city jail, two states thatallow passion killing for men, unequal admissions to schools, unequal pay at the University ofWashington and the difficulty for women in getting managerial jobs in retail stores. On the other hand,housewife Mrs. Robert Young expressed the fears the opponents have that the ERA will erode the family, taking away a woman's privilege of staying at home, taking away the right of small children to be caredfor by their mothers, taking away the responsibility of the husband to support his family. Adoption of theamendment requires a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress and ratification by three-fourths of thestates.

Charles Olson,Imus' attorney, said that the developer wants to use the vacated street frontage as part of a rampleading to a second level parking garage in the Mason block. A theater is planned for the lower level ofthe building. Imus has been a controversial figure in the development of the southside area since hebegan buying up old buildings in the Fairhaven District last year, with the announced intention of turningthe district into a tourist attraction much like Vancouver, B.C.'s Gastown. Several South Bellinghamresidents protested Imus' proposal. * Henry Schwan pointed out that the Fairhaven District is zoned forneighborhood Drums stolen Two African drums were stolen from Lecture Hall 3 during the weekend ofFeb. 3. The drums are two-and-a-half feet tall and are made of heavy tree trunk with animal skinsstretched across the top. Their main identifying feature is a square handle. They were to be used in anew course to be offered Spring quarter which would combine African culture with music. A n y o n ehaving any information about the location of the drums should call Thomas Johnston of the soc/anthdepartment. -â€¢â€¢-â€¢â€¢â€¢â€¢ business, which is designed for the use of persons who residewithin a radius of half a mile and that Imus should request a formal change of zone to make the areacommercial. He added that the parking garage is definitely not intended for southside residents. EuniceWolf, city planner, said that the proposed parking structure was legal under the provisions of theneighborhood business zoning now in effect. Jim Hansen, another resident of the area, said that Imushas an obligation to tell both the city council and the Fairhaven residents what he plans to do. In a letter to the council, Les Doughty, a third Fairhaven r e s i d e n t , called for a moratorium on building in thedistrict until a study currently being undertaken to create a comprehensive plan for development of thearea is completed. Olson said that Imus is not seeking approval of building plans but only the vacationof ten feet of the right-of-way on 13th Street. He will not begin construction of the building withoutmeeting all pertinent city building requirements, he said. Car-sleeping rule may be changed by safetycommittee A controversial ordinance regarding persons who sleep in their cars may be buried at theBellingham City Council's meeting next Tuesday. The Bellingham Public Safety C o m m i t t e e madethe recommendation last Wednesday that the proposed ordinance be dropped, after hearing remarksfrom Asst. Police Chief John Burley. Burley told the committee there is too much controversy about thematter and that he doesn't think the police department really needs it "that bad." Police Chief CecilKlein asked the council several months ago for an ordinance governing persons who "live in theirvehicles." Since many burglaries are committed by transients, Klein thought the ordinance might be inorder. Burley told the committee Wednesday night that the ordinance would be simply a tool of arrestand that other ordinances now in effect could probably be used in place of the new ordinance. Thecommittee agreed to check with the city attorney to make sure other ordinances can do the job. ' ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 13 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February 13, 1973 Western Front 3 Student loans revised, new agency created by JOHNHARRIS The concept of financial aid for college and university students is undergoing sweeping changes on the federal level. President Nixon's budget calls for phasing out the National Defense Student LoanProgram (NDSL), elimination of Equal Opportunity Grants and slicing the College Work-Study Programfrom $400 million to $250 million. The Basic Opportunity Grant (BOG) Program now before Congress will hereafter provide the bulk of federal funds. The budget calls for $622 million this fiscal year for the BOGprogram and $959 million in fiscal 1974. The NDSL program will probably stay in operation because anestimated $150 million is expected to be generated next year through repayments of previous loans. Thebudget also contains $58 million to cover student loan defaults. The BOG program will provide up to$1400 a year to students without requiring payment. The amount the student and his family are expected to contribute towards the cost of his education will be subtracted from the $1400. Basic OpportunityGrants for students probably will not be funded at more than $700 per student, according to James M.Furman, of the Washington State Council on Higher Education. The effect would be that aid would not be available to anyone but students from a very low income background. "What it means to me is that itmakes all the more compelling the need for a state student loan program," Furman said. "We've got tofind alternative sources for student aid." Furman is a member of the Council on Higher Education whichlast November recommended a graduated tuition fee for Washington's college and university students.Student applications for BOG will be made directly to a regional office of the United States Commissionof Education. Under the Equal Opportunity Grant program, applications were made at the particularschool. BOG funding will be available to public or private colleges, occupational schools and otherproprietary schools approved by the United States Commission of Education. Formerly, federalfundingwasn't available to such schools. Suzanne C. Feeney, director of student financial aid at theUniversity of Washington, said students will have to depend on the federally insured loan program offeredthrough banks at seven per cent interest instead of the three per cent interest on NDSL loans. RichardE. Coward, administrator of Western's Financial Aid Office, said he was optimistic on the future ofstudent financial aid "if all the proposals currently being made on federal and state levels come together."From the standpoint of legislation, what will be available is better than today," he said. "There will bemore grants than loans, more dollars for financial aid, and greater alternatives in selection of aneducational program." MORE MONEY AVAILABLE-Richard Coward, financial aid administrator, isoptimistic on the future of student financial aid. Financial aid facts The figures for federal funding offinancial aid to students in 1972-73 are: Equal Opportunity Grant, $220 million; Basic OpportunityGrant, $0; College Work-Study Program, $400 million; National Direct Student Loan, $286 million; total:$906 million. For 1973-74 the federal budget calls for: Equal Opportunity Grant, $0; Basic OpportunityGrant, $ 6 2 2 m i l l i o n ; College Work-Study. Program, $250 million; National Direct Student Loan,$150 million; total: $1,022 billion. Cant make it home for George's birthday? Send the Front instead!Nixon's budget costs students $10 million interview/: The State of Washington will lose $10 millionannually in federal aid to college students as a result of President Nixon's budget proposal, according to James M. Furman, executive coordinator of the Council on Higher Education. The losses would be feltin the National Defense Student Loans, which have accounted for $6 million annually in student loans in the state, and in Equal Opportunity Grants, which total $4 million, Furman said. Gov. Dan Evans hasasked for a doubling of the student state need-grant program from the current $1.4 million to $2.8 million for the biennium. State grants would pay up to one third of a student's annual cost of an education. The Council on Higher Education has had legislation i n t r o d u c e d calling for establishment of a stateagency authorized to issue tax exempt bonds to fund a loan program. The bill enjoys strong bipartisansupport. It would establish the Higher Education Assistance Authority that would make loans available to students at a seven per cent interest rate. Another source of financial aid to students are FederallyInsured Loans from participating banks or credit unions. The loans bear seven per cent interest. TuitionWd fee waivers may be awarded to students with demonstrated need for financial assistance. forBusiness Manager Western Front Responsible for all business operations, including budgetpreparation and presentation, revenue and expenditure, office and advertising staff, business andoffice policies, correspondence and records.

Trustees discuss Guidelineswritten under AS deadline by JIM THOMSON A new set of guidelines for student publications, written by an ad hoc committee under pressure of a deadline set by the AS Board of Directors, was presented tothe College Services Council Thursday for approval. The guidelines call for a new student publicationscouncil to be set up under the combined authority of the College Services Council and the Board ofDirectors. The board said in December that, unless an. agreeable set of guidelines for studentpublications emerged before the end of Winter quarter, it would cut off further funds for those publications. The board has been authorizing funds for student publications on a quarter-by-quarter basis sinceSeptember, because it has been unclear who had authority over the publications. Until the All CollegeSenate took effect last winter, the student publications council was responsible to president Flora undera policy statement issued by him in October, 1971. Under that policy the Student Publications Councilconsisted of one faculty member, one classified staff employee and one administrative officer, allappointed by the president; three students appointed by the AS president and one student elected by the combined staffs of the student publications. The proposed guidelines state that the council be made upof one student from the board of directors, one elected by the publications staffs and two selected by thecurrent student publications council and approved by the board of directors. Others on the council wouldinclude one faculty member appointed by the faculty caucus of the all college senate, one administrative member appointed by the college president and one classified staff employee appointed by the staffcouncil of the college. The present council also has an ex-officio, non-voting member, the presidentially-appointed advisor to student publications. Under the proposed guidelines the council would select theadvisors to the publications, the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy, "if the publications staffs desireadvisors, and will determine the method of their selection." At Thursday's College Services Councilmeeting, Western Front Advisor Ted Stannard, who is also acting director of Western's journalismprogram, told the council that it "should give justification for the changes over the present policy." LouisLallas, director of career planning and placement and chairman of the committee which drew up the newguidelines, replied that "all the provisions in the guidelines can be justified; but as far as the presentpolicy goes, I have never seen it, so I personally don't know what is in it." The wording in the twodocuments is remarkably similar in a number of places. Both begin with sentences which read, "Student publications are important and necessary parts of the Western Washington State College . . . ." Lallasstressed at the meeting that neither the College Services Council nor the AS Board of Directors would be concerned ' in the routine operations of the Student Publications Council. "All this is, is a set ofguidelines for the council to set up its own policies and procedures. Once those policies have beenapproved, we'll never see the council again," he said. The College Services Council took no action on the proposed guidelines last week in order to allow the present publications council to read it and commenton it. The AS board approved the document Tuesday and the College Services Council is slated to make a final decision on it Thursday. lobbying rules today Western's Board of Trustees will hold a specialmeeting at 1 p.m. today in 163 Miller Hall to make up for the postponement of their regular meeting ofFeb. 1 due to illness.

Today, surprisingly, there are still people aroundwho think that her place is in the kitchen. In the equal rights amendment debate last week in Olympia,some people were guilty of blatant stereotyping when talking about women. Surprisingly, many peoplestill consider that a woman is a weak, helpless creature who belongs behind an apron and in front of asink full of dishes. That this kind of stereotyping still exists is unfortunate; the possibility that it mightinfluence the passage of legislation is tragic. Last November, by passing HJR 61, the voters of this stateindicated that they are in favor of equality for women. The voters approved an equal rights amendment for this state. Now the legislature has the task of approving a similar amendment for the U.S. Constitution.If the legislature were to act against the will of the electorate on the basis of some outdated stereotypes,it would be unfair, unwise and completely unrepresentative. Don't preach to captives And he said untothem, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15.) Taking this adviceto heart, campus Christian activists were, until last Friday, preaching in the lecture halls betweenclasses. In trying to save all of us from eternal damnation in the "lake of fire," these Christians wereinfringing on our right to privacy. By speaking in a lecture hall where people are waiting for a class tobegin, the Christians had a captive audience. Students in the classes did not have the option of leaving ifthey didn't want to listen to "the word." It's hard enough to escape from the grasp of these over-zealous,scripture-spouting Jesus freaks just walking across Red Square without being trapped in a class havingto listen how we are all doomed to hell. Of course hell is very much a reality to Christians, and theseactivists should receive thanks from those who believe for the reminder.. But what these Christianactivists can't seem to grasp is that to those of us who don't believe, Christianity is only anotherphilosophy. I, for one, resent having someone else's beliefs thrust upon me. If these Christians feel theburning need to spread the gospel, I welcome them to preach to all who want to listen. All I ask is forthem to respect the privacy and beliefs of others. Rodger Painter letters... Cold-blooded people wearsweaters Editor, Western Front: For four years I have tried to avoid using the Wilson Library because itis overheated. In the last year I and others have complained to the library staff. Last quarter I was toldthe heat controls were being worked on. Yet today when using the library, I am as uncomfortable asever. Experts warn the nation of its lack of energy. In last Friday's â€¢ (Feb. 9),P.L, Barry Commonersaid that at the turn of the century "the accepted norm for room temperature was about 60 degrees,whereas it is now 75 degrees." Lowering temperatures "would help end our enslavement to the oilcompanies." We complain of oil spills and other pollution created by the oil companies; yet we turnaround and use their product. If we would reduce room temperatures today, we may have some heattomorrow. Lowering the thermostat by a few degrees could give everyone comfort. Cold blooded peoplecan wear sweaters. When I use the library today, I look for a window next to me to open for cooler air.Usually the window seats are occupied. However, opening windows is not the solution. Windows aresinks to our limited energy supply. Should we drain water from a reservoir if our thirst is quenchedtoday? C.E. Cox Environmental Sciences Offended by 'fanatics' Editor, Western Front: As you may bewell aware of, the situation with the Jesus Freaks taking up classroom time is getting out of hand. As atuition-paying Western student, I refuse to sit in a classroom and be insulted by some FOOL fanatic that thinks he knows everything about everybody. I refer to the local Jesus Freaks that seem to be over-running our campus and, unfortunately, our classrooms. If they want to exercize their so-called beliefs in Red Square, that's fine. You can't hold an audience in captivity there. What I sincerely DO mind iswhen we are subjected to this kind of idiocy within the boundaries of a confining classroom, where wehave to suffer through this nonsense before we can hear what the professor has to say! I refer to thefrequent bits of garbage we are subjected to before the eleven a.m. History 106 class in L-3 everyMonday, Wednesday and Friday. Do we have to take a class on independent study to avoid thesecharacters? I appeal to the student population of Western and to the A.S.

Drop it in campus mail, signed with initials or full name. We'll do our best to supply an answer that means something. junk mail complaint... In the last three weeks I've received about 7 things in the mail from fast-buck insurance companies, catalogues, etc. This is all junk mail, unsolicited, and it bothersme. In fact, it makes me very angry. The only way that my name could be on these mailing lists is if thecollege gave it to them. Do they give student addresses to anybody who wants them at the Registrar'sOffice? Do they sell them? How can I get my name off this list? -B.T. Junk mail plagues many students. Your best course of action would be to contact the post office, find out where the junk mail is comingfrom, and make it clear to them that you don't want any more garbage in your box. They'll work on it, andthey're usually pretty effective. Concerning your charge to the Registrar's Office: they have a machine that can print out all student's names, address, number and schedule. It is open to anyone; studentgovernment uses it a lot to mail information to students. Student addresses are not consideredconfidential, says assistant registrar Bob Thirsk. It is impossible to control who uses the Registrar'smachine. Also, college addresses can be given out by many other sources, for example, telephoneinformation operators. There are some people (outside the college) getting student addresses for mailinglists, but not many. Most of these are local groups. Whoever, everything must be copied by hand. Print-outs are not given. By no means is any information sold to anyone. black bugs in Upper Saga.., I work in the Upper Saga dining hall, washing dishes. Several weeks ago I saw some big, black bugs crawlingaround the dishwashing room. Then I've seen them out where salads and desserts are prepared. Thisreally concerns me. I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks, so maybe something has been doneabout them. What's going on? -A.A. Beliingham Chemical was notified, checked out the situation, andsprayed a week ago Monday and Tuesday. The ants, which have always been a problem at RidgewayCommons, "just went nuts" according to the Saga management. A lot of them were located in a largeopening above the ceiling woodwork. Carpenter ants, the type found, are very large, and very destructiveto wood. Saga has had ant problems every year, but this one was admittedly worse. Exterminators areapparently doing an extensive job. They spent three days inspecting floor plans, tracking the ants down.The dust sprayed clogs breathing pores in insects' skin, suffocating them. The dust is pyrethrin-based,something new and harmless to food. Beliingham Chemical will come back and re-check Upper Sagasoon. They may spray again. They are contracted to look over the building twice a month. mystifyingdeductions. As a student employed part time by the college I find some very mystifying deductions frommy paycheck. Could you take the mystery out of such things as "Med. Aid, O.A.S.I., Retirement, Ex.Fund, Misc. Deduct." etc. for me. What are they and why are they deducted? -L.Z. Medical aid is astate-required industrial insurance. It's mandatory on state payrolls. The amount is matched dollar fordollar by your employer. This year the maximum is 32 cents per pay period, for students 64 cents amonth. This amount changes each year. O.A.S.I. is Social Security; it stands for Old Age Survivors'Insurance. It's required under federal law, and your employer matches it too. Social security rates for 197-3 are 5.85 per cent of your gross. Your tax money goes for retirement, survivor's, disability and hospitalinsurance. Retirement isn't applicable to students. Nor are miscellaneous deductions (unless yourperquisites-room and board-are taken directly out of your check). The expenditures fund is no longer used by the school. It was once used to withhold staff retirement funds, fv-yy:-:'T,?v.'

I n 1 9 2 9 ,dancers and choreographers, who began to free their feet from shoes, their bodies from cumbersomeclothing and to turn their minds from the rigidly structured ballet, were called "Modern Dancers." At theturn of the century, such artists as Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn took the initial stepsto liberate dance from the traditional classic ballet. Though earlier artists' techniques are respected,today modern dance has come quite a distance from the stereotyped ballet and Isadora Duncan'sflowing gowns. Now a contemporary modern dancer moves for movement's sake. Choreographers anddancers explore the relationships of the body in space, time and motion. They may use music, thesound of a drum or even - their own breathing to guide them in movement and to inspire creativity. Butjust as contemporary modern dance gives the individual creative freedom, it also teaches theatrical andtechnical discipline. When strength, coordination and style are developed, dance becomes asophisticated theatre art. And when special lighting, costumes, props and music are used to enhancethe dance, it becomes a production. On Western's campus, interest in dance has increased along withthe number of dance majors. A dance major may peddle his or her talent in a variety of fields, such asdance therapy, theory, teaching or production. The Orchesis dance club on campus gives dancers achance to meet and work with professional dancers and to put their talents to use by producing a formaldance concert. Orchesis was first recognized at Western as a club in 1957 and has since been part ofthe Programs Commission. Since Fall quarter the contemporary dance group has participated in adance symposium with James Cunningham and the Acme Dance Company in Vancouver, B.C. The New York Dance company then spent two days at Western. Also in the fall, the dance department'stechnique class gave a demonstration of dance exercises, improvisation and choreography at theWhatcom Middle School.

His own salvation, he believes, has brought Jesus Christ to live in him, and he is compelled to spread theteachings of Christ. Though Christians on this campus cover a full range of involvement from formalaffiliations to individual worship, the most vocal Christians are those commonly called Jesus Freaks.They do not care for that term. As Gene Bearman said in a press conference Friday, "We're not freaks,we're Christians." "We think we're the ones who are normal," Gerry Anderson added. Regardless ofterminology, these particular Christians are actively involved in preaching the gospel. "I bowed my kneebefore God," Rob Main said, "and Jesus Christ came into me. And now, as the scripture says, I amcrucified with Christ, and it's not me that lives; it's Jesus Christ that lives in me." Because Christ lives inhim, Anderson believes, "it is my responsibility to warn sinners." For these Christians, hell as an eternalfire for sinners is a very real thing. They believe they must spread the word of God among sinners so they may "know the Lord" and gain eternal salvation. "If you saw a child under the kitchen sink about to drink some Drano, what would you do?" Anderson asked. "You would try to stop him."

Western students were among visitors to the reformatory who were told by officials that about 50 percent of the inmates are serving time for drug-related offenses. The inmates admitted that drugs arepresent behind the walls and said they didn't feel the institution could ever stop the drug flow totally. Thestudents were taking part in a Black culture session, one of several volunteer programs at the reformatory which take place weekly on Thursday between 7 and 9 p.m. A four-man panel of inmates led thediscussion which covered topics from drugs to what feelings go on inside men and women when a closefriend or relative "falls" (goes to prison). One inmate related a story of how some youngsters in the blackghetto become addicted to drugs. A boy of sixteen begins by popping bennies, he explained. Then hegoes to cough syrup (codeine in cough syrup can give a high) and eventually he moves up to heroin.Then discussion focused on what happens after a man is sentenced to prison. The inmates concededthat it is a depressing and lonely feeling when a wife, sister or girlfriend deserts a man once he goesbehind the bars and that it is "right on" when a woman sticks by an inmate. In response to the woman'sside of the situation, one woman who had a friend that "fell" said she was a student then and didn't havethe time or money to help him. "It was his fault, anyway," she said. "He had been in and out of jail a lotbefore that." Some students complained that the weekly discussions were not well organized and didnot go into enough depth. Most, however, said that the individual discussion time was the mostenlightening. The individual discussions are one-to-one meetings between inmates and students whichusually follow the panel discussion. A panel spokesman said that the panel at next week's Whitesession encounter would go into greater depth. Western student Lou Ray Barham, coordinates thevisitation from the outside and pre-registers visitors with the prison. Society's myths examined in paneltalk by DENNIS MANSKER What are the four myths that make society function? According to EverettReimer, they are equal opportunity, freedom, the inevitability of progress and efficiency. These mythswere examined in a freewheeling discussion of Reimer's book, "School is Dead: Alternatives inEducation", when the third book of the quarter panel discussion met last week in the Presentation Room of the Wilson Library. Panelists were William Harris,' of the College of Ethnic Studies faculty; FrankJames, a Fairhaven senior with an interdisciplinary major in social psychometry; and Sy Schwartz, ofthe education department f a c u l t y . William Scott, documents librarian and chairman of the book ofthe q u a r t e r committee, was moderator. Schwartz said Reimer drew attention to many criticalquestions concerning who institutional education is serving and how it is serving them. "He never reallydid make a case for school being dead," he said, "but he does for it being deadly." Schwartz indicatedthat he had trouble accepting Reimer's system of networks, an alternative to institutional educationwhere students would learn from a variety of sources, including peers and skill models along withconventional educators. "I have trouble seeing them as anything more than encounters," he said. "Ithink there should be more interaction between school and society." James said' that Reimer's bookwas part of an overall effort on the part of a group of individuals to change education. Concentrating onthe myth of equal opportunity, James told of an extensive sociological study that proved black schoolswere worse than white schools and that the best predictor of success was the socio-economic status ofan individual's parents, Harris said. The first is the voucher system "applied to a newly constructededucational non-institution in which all receive an equal share plus equal access to the educationalfacilities available." The other solution, he said, is that education is revolutionary in nature, but a sacrifice will be "Whatever happens in terms of revolution is outside school" regardless of intelligence, initiative,creativity or any other attribute. He also cited a study undertaken in California that showed that poorpeople are in effect regressively taxed through differential funding of state higher education. The statefunds university students at a higher rate per student per year than state or community college students. Because poor students usually attend community and state colleges, James said, the effect is thatrich people are given more opportunity for learning at the expense of the poor. Reimer's solution, James said, was "a type of voucher system in which everyone gets a equal share of the educational funds tospend where they want." Harris indicated the need to "take away the onus on where you got youreducation and how much you needed." Reimer offers two solutions to the problem of education,necessary in order for it to get a revolutionary role in society. "I see a lot of imponderables," Harris said."Educational revolution is a vision of a possibility that may never be realized." James said that therevolution was another myth, but a useful one, since an analysis of society was necessary. MostAmerican college students are part of the bourgeosie or upper middle class, he said, at a level betweenthe ruling class and the oppressed, to take a Marxist viewpoint. The midle class are on the side of theoppressors, and James likened them to birds in golden cages who are willing captives because they aregiven access to a higher standard of living. Schwartz said that Reimer was being ignored because hewas being read only by the middle class, the people in cages, and "you can't convince the middle classto fund a radical change." "Not necessarily," James answered. "Most revolutionary leadersâ€”with theexception of Mao Tse-tungâ€”came from the middle class." Schwartz said that the demise of the Officeof Economic Opportunity was an example of w h a t h a p p e n s to a g o v e r n m e n t - f i n a n c e drevolutionary agency. "The revolution is not going to start here and it is not going to start in the schools," he said. "Whatever happens in terms of revolution is outside school." 2 for I clQ/yified/: Place aWESTERN FRONT classified AND GET RESULTS Library role panel topic IDERSON-"We think we'rethe normal." The fourth book of the quarter panel will meet tomorrow at 4 p.m. in the PresentationRoom of the Wilson Library. The topic for the discussion, "Exhuming the artifacts of learning-libraries as active networks," will focus on the role that libraries will serve in a new educational system envisionedby Everett Reimer. Reimer's book, "School is D e a d : A l t e r n a t i v e s in Education", is Western'sbook of the quarter for Winter quarter. It examines the institution of public education in America andconcludes that it is a self-serving bureaucracy concerned more with its own perpetuation than with theeducational process.

A proposed flat $40-a-month pay raise for higher education employees is being fought by m e m b e r s of Western's administration.

" B a r n e y " Goltz (D.-42nd District) has filed two bills in the statelegislature to change the present small claims court system in Washington. One bill would raise themaximum amount of claims that can be filed from $200 to $300. The other would direct court justices toassist in the collection of delinquent small claims judgments by wage garnishments or other courtmethods. Goltz said the bills will, "substantially improve the ability of individuals to realize justice inresolution of disputes involving small amounts of Wondering about the condition of your audioequipment? Just bring in your amplifier, preamplifier, or receiver â€” regardless of age, make, or whereyou bought it. The Marantz people will take it from there. First, they will thoroughly test your equipment(except the tuner section of your receiver) on $7,000 worth of precision laboratory equipment. And they'lltell you if you're getting all the sound performance you paid for. In addition, the results will be plotted on a graph for your records. You'll also get an attractive brochure that explains exactly what's been done andwhat it all means. There are no strings attached. And you don't have to buy anything. We're bringing theMarantz people to our store simply to get you to know us a little better. Date: Feb. 24 Time: 10 a.m.-5:3Q p.m. money." The Small Claims Court is often used in minor b u s i n e s s disputes and tenant-landlord conflicts over damage deposits or delinquent rent. Goltz feels the current jurisdictional limit of$200 is too low, "because many lawyers aren't interested in taking a case until you're talking in figuresover $300â€”and even then you may not gain much if you have to go through an attorney. The SmallClaims Court is an excellent way for the small guy to seek justice in civil cases, especially in consumercases." A big problem, according to Goltz, has been that some persons with court decisions againstthem have refused to pay their judgments. His second bill would empower judges to enforce thedecisions, after payment of a five-dollar fee. "The proposed legislation," commented Goltz, "will greatlyincrease the effectiveness and accessibility of a court which is closer to the people than almost anyother." Cole said that President Flora had sent letters to all members of the House Ways and MeansCommittee, as well as to Council of Higher Education Members, showing his non-support. Theadministration prefers a four per cent increase instead of the flat $40 pay hike. Cole, along with MichaelBarnhart, executive assistant to the President, plans to travel to Olympia this week to protest theproposed change. Barnhart could not be reached for comment. The bill, passing by six votes (26 to 20),replaced a previous bill which would give a four per cent or $40 a month increase, whichever was higher. Supporters of the bill argued that workers in the higher brackets (above $12,000) didn't need a four percent increase to keep up with the cost of living. "The consensus of people here is that . . . $40 is a(legitimate) cost-of-living increase," John Bagnariol, House Ways and Means committee chairman said.The committee will look over the bill before sending it to the House. Gov. Dan Evans said the revisedincreases are wrong and "a little bit demogogic . . . what it means is . . . that (it will be) infinitely moretrouble to hire key people." The increases affect all state employees, but Cole said that facultymembers, for example, would be paid on a nine-month pay period rather than a 12-month period. DrugInfo head knocks inaccuracy of drug films A letter criticizing the quality of films on drug abuse has been sent to the Washington State Film Library by Chris Wright, coordinator of Western's Drug InformationOffice. Seven of the eight films received from the library "have been inaccurate, biased, undocumentedand geared towards scaring elementary aged children," Wright said. Wright's claim is supported by theNational Coordinating Council on Drug Education. It has recently filed its annual report stating that 84per cent of the films it reviewed were scientifically inaccurate and sensationalistic, according to theCollege Press Service. The council also said that films geared towards minorities were even worse. Only 7 out of 220 films dealt with minorities and they pictured the black male as being enmeshed in anunbreakable cycle of addiction. The only film received that Wright considers to be of any informative andrealistic value is "Darkness, Darkness." He was impressed with the honesty of the film and the fact that"the film producers and the people in the film were actually involved and concerned about the life of aheroin addict." C o m m e n t i n g on the credibility of "Darkness, Darkness," Wright said that it is anattempt "to present the problem and some of realistic aspects of it to public in a meaningful relevantfashion." the the and Member denies All-College Senate has faculty policy-making powers by ALICECOLLINGWOOD The question of whether the All-College Senate has policy-making power in areas offaculty concern was not decided at the last senate meeting, in the eyes of at least one senator. BrianCopenhaver of the general studies faculty said, in response to a Western Front article last Friday, that he does not believe a resolution passed by the senate Feb. 5 sets up. that body as the faculty policy-maker. The resolution, a recommendation from a senate ad hoc committee, said "In order to clarify therelationship between the senate and whatever agency represents the faculty in those matters whichdirectly affect each faculty member's contractual relationship to the college, the committee recommendsthat the senate's subordinate councils and their committees be directed as follows: "Beforerecommending college policy in those areas of primary faculty concern, for example (but not restrictedto), tenure and promotion, leaves of absence, salary and fringe benefits, teaching load and grievances,the affected council or committee is to solicit from the agency which will be designated by the faculty torepresent it, policies on these matters which it can recommend as being based upon broad facultyopinion and faculty need . . . ." There have been questions since the senate was first formed as towhether it or a faculty body should have policy-making powers in matters of faculty concern. Copenhaver said what he had in mind when he voted for the resolution was not that it recognized the senate as thepolicy making body for faculty concerns. "As the (senate) constitution stands now," Copenhaver said,it's possible that the senate might be called upon to make statements about tenure, promotion, salaries-matters which many faculty tend to call their business and their business only. "If the senate should becalled upon to do that," he continued, "I see this motion as a protection for the faculty in that it calls upon the senate to deal with a constituted body, like the Faculty Council." The constitution says that amongthe committees to be appointed by the senate's Business and Finance Council is a "welfare Committeewhich shall have as its main function to develop and propose policies and schedules for salaries andfringe benefits throughout the college." Copenhaver said this passage in the constitution is vague andthat faculty matters have never been strictly interpreted to fall under the senate's purview. He said theresolution passed at the last meeting means, to him, that "if it ever happens that the senate constitutionspecifically says that the senate has these powers, the senate will seek policies from the facultyrepresentative group." Copenhaver believes the only way constitutions can be made clear is by constantcriticism from people who are experts at studying them. He thinks the problem here is that no one hasclearly interpreted the senate's constitution. "Some say the Civil War was fought over the U.S.Constitution and its different interpretations," he said. "It's the same, here, only we don't have as muchknowledge about our own constitution as those people had about theirs." Copenhaver thinks therecommendation from the ad hoc committee was a "relatively vacuous statement," because it was tooopen to interpretation. He also thinks there wasn't enough discussion to clarify the intent of therecommendation and that the senate made a mistake in voting on it right after receiving it from thecommittee. "It should have been tabled and thought about," he said. 276 sparks talks in classesThursday The wide-ranging effects of Initiative 276, full campaign and lobbying disclosures, will bediscussed by a member of the Public Disclosure Commission Thursday at two Western classes. JeanDavis, who was recently appointed by the governor to the commission, will speak at 9 a.m. in Miller Hall164 and at 2 p.m. in Humanities 304. 276 will effect the balance of power in state government by makingvisible the amount of money spent, and therefore decreasing the power of money, Davis said. "Theeffectiveness of the initiative depends on the commission," she added. ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 13 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, February 13, 1973 Western Front -9 Industrial cooperative fights oil-spill pollution Alaska pipeditched by ALICE COLLINGWOOD With the growing energy shortage in this country, more and more oilwill have to be imported to supply the demands of American consumers. Increased importation will meanmore tanker traffic on the nation's waters, including Puget Sound. The Washington State Oil SpillCooperative (WSOSC) is prepared to take on the task of cleaning up oil spills which may occur onWashington waters. It is an organization formed by the ten oil companies using the navigable waters ofWashington State-Atlantic Richfield, Mobil Oil, Phillips Petroleum, Shell Oil, Sound Refining, StandardOil of California, Texaco, Time Oil, Union Oil of California and U.S. Oil and Refining Co. These companies all have refineries or terminals on Puget Sound. Formally organized on March 2, 1971, the cooperative'spurpose is to develop, maintain and continually improve a procedure among member companies formutual assistance and cooperation in control of oil spills on Puget Sound and coastal waters. Itsmethods for doing this include compilation of a list of materials and equipment available from eachmember company and from other sources which can be made available to a member company or rentedto other agencies involved in an oil spill; purchase and maintenance of large oil spill cleanup equipmentwhich would be uneconomical for individual member companies to own; and provision of expert advisersfrom member companies to manage cleanup operations. In working toward these goals, the cooperativespent $310,000 last year and expects to spend $850,000 by the end of this year, John Doolittle, WSOSC manager, said. Resources available to WSOSC, either through direct ownership or contract withparticipating companies, include 15,300 feet of oil-containing boom, 16 skimmers, 16 boats andmiscellaneous tools, absorbents and vacuums. The cooperative has purchased three skimmers forcleaning up oil. One is moored at the Port of Bellingham; another will be delivered in about three weeks to Commencement Bay, near Tacoma; and a third, currently under construction, will be based in Seattle.Though the skimmers are different in some respects, all three have a means of skimming oil from thewater's surface and depositing it in tanks. The Husky Senior, the skimmer in Bellingham, consists of anoil-containment barge and two 500-foot booms. The booms are pulled away from the barge by tug- into aV-formation, with the skimmer at the apex. The total system can be held in place, allowing the current tobring the oil to the skimmer, or the boom and skimmer can be towed through the water, sweeping oil from the surface as they go. The skimmer currently under construction will have a rotating filter belt forpicking up oil. The three-foot wide belt, made of material which retains oil but allows water to run throughit, is mounted between the twin hulls of a self-propelled catamaran vessel. The moving belt lifts oil anddebris from the water's surface. Debris is dumped into trash bins, and the oil is transported to squeezerollers, where it is removed and stored on board in a tank. Water-jet engines, instead of propellors willallow the craft to operate in debris-laden water or near shorelines. It will cruise at 12 knots. The skimmerto be based in Commencement Bay is similar to the one being constructed. It was the prototype and isbeing reoutfitted to incorporate new features. It also contains a high-pressure water-wash spray systemthat can be used to scrub oil from boats, pilings, rocks and other places. Doolittle said the cooperative is upset about a state Department of Ecology proposal that a two-cents per barrel tax on oil imported intothe state be charged against the oil companies. It would be used for an oil spill cleanup fund. Doolittleclaims the oil companies are responsible only for about 10 per cent of the oil spills which have occurredon Puget Sound. ( He cited statistics from Marine Oil Pickup Service (MOPS), a Seattle firm, listing thesources of the 74 oil spills it had cleaned up in its 21 months of operation. Shipyards were blamed for 12 of the' spills, commercial shipping companies for 11, oil companies for eight, government vessels forseven, manufacturing plants for six, pulp and paper mills for five, trucking companies for five, fishing boats and pleasure craft for five and miscellaneous for four. Causes were not determined for 11 of the spills."Why should the oil companies be singled out (for the tax) when the records clearly indicate thateveryone is involved?" Doolittle asked. He said the cooperative is trying to broaden its membership andget groups besides oil companies involved. Government can't be included in the membership, Doolittlesaid, because the government can't contract for probability of services rendered. It can contract only forservices actually rendered. WSOSC is also expanding its resources and The construction of the Alaska pipeline was halted by a U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals when it overturned a lower court ruling.Environmentalists protesting the pipeline argued that a 146-foot right-of-way granted to the Alyeska oil .consortium violated federal law which states a right-of-way over public lands will be limited to 25 feet oneither side. Last August, U.S. District Judge George Hart lifted a temporary injunction against thepipeline after a nine volume environmental impact statement of the pipeline was published. Thestatement was prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Environmentalists claim the study wasinadequate. A t t o r n e y for the environmentalists, Dennis M. Flannary, said oil companies willprobably "take hasty action to modify present law (the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920)." Groups protestingthe pipeline include the Wilderness Society, Environmental Defense Fund, Inc., and Friends of theEarth. The proposed pipeline would cross 780 miles from the northernmost part of Alaska to an ice-freeport. All the land is federal land except for 150 miles. The cost of the pipeline has been estimated at $3billion, and may be the biggest private industry investment in history. OIL GOBBLERâ€”Trie HuskySenior is one of three oil spill cleanup skimmers owned by the Washington State Oil Spill Cooperative.The Husky Senior, kept in Bellingham, was used to clean up the Cherry Point oil spill in June, 1972.researching prevention methods. While many oil companies have operating radio communicationssystems, plans are being made to provide a radio system linking three West Coast cooperatives-SanFrancisco, Portland and Puget Sound-with a common frequency. This would allow coordination ofcleanup activities. In April, a test of a tanker-lightering system will be conducted outside San FranciscoBay. Such a system would be used to off-load oil from tankers which run aground or are otherwisedisabled, threatening an oil spill. If the test goes well, oil companies on the West Coast will fund fivesystems. Doolittle said "remarkable" progress had been made in oil spill cleanup equipment sinceskimmers were first developed in 1969. He said the oil blowout in Santa Barbara in that year gave theimpetus to designing and building such equipment. The Husky Senior in Bellingham was used at theCherry Point oil spill in June, 1972. That spill is the only one so far for which WSOSC-owned equipmentwas used, Doolittle said, but member companies have used their own equipment on minor spills. MOPShas been underwritten by WSOSC since July, 1972, because "cleaning up oil the State of Washington is not an economically viable matter," Doolittle said. Other oil spill cleanup companies on Puget Soundhave gone out of business. "There are not that many spills; it's not that big a problem." But WSOSCplans to be ready for oil spills which may occur. "We're trying to limit potential damage to theenvironment," Doolittle said, "and one way is to pick up oil on the water immediately." A Refinerieswanted Whatcom County officials are spreading the welcome mat for oil companies, according to arecent Victoria Times report. The Times quoted James Chin of the county Planning Commission assaying, "we would definitely welcome more refineries in that area (north Puget Sound)." However,Washington State Ecology Department Director John Biggs said any proposal for a new oil refinery onPuget Sound "would be a very hard sell." Biggs said he had no knowledge of any pending massiveinflux of refineries should the trans-Alaska pipeline project go through. Under state law, the Departmentof Ecology would have to give clearance to any construction project near or on a state shoreline.Ecologist and lobbyist clash over proposed oil tax bill The director of the state's Department of Ecology(DOE) and a top lobbyist for the oil companies clashed in Olympia last week over a proposed tax on oilcompanies. In a hearing before the Senate Ecology Committee, DOE Director John Biggs accusedlobbyist Vern Lindskog of "skillfully diverting" the committee's attention away from the purpose of an oilspill bill. The bill would place a two cents per barrel tax on oil companies importing oil into the state.Proceeds of about $3 million a year would be used to "prevent and combat" oil spills. Lindskog said theCoast Guard had jurisdiction over the navigable waters, including oil spills. "Any intrusion by the statewould be a duplication of the Coast Guard effort," he said. "The Coast Guard has vastly more experience than the state. If the Coast Guard wants jurisdiction, why have an unnecessary duplication?" Biggssaid he thinks the Coast Guard's role in oil spills is "substantially exaggerated." "The legal responsibility for the problem of pollution is with the state," Biggs said. "There is no law that gives it to the CoastGuard." Biggs accused the oil industry of using the Coast Guard to avoid responsibility for oil spills.Lindskog countered with a statement on oil-spill cleanup preparations made by the oil companies. Thehearing ended in a stalemate, and no action was taken on the measure. "I have no knowledge of anyproposal for a new refinery on Puget Sound," Biggs said. "If there was, it would be a hard sell." Counties want oil spill money County governments should share revenues collected on per-barrel taxes on oilrefiners and distributors, . Whatcom County Commissioner C. J. "Corky" Johnson told a joint House-Senate hearing on oil taxes last week in Olympia. Johnson said the costs of an oil spill to the countyoften are not evident for months or even longer after the spill. He spoke in the aftermath of the 300,000-plus gallons spilled near Laurel by Trans-Mountain Pipelines, the largest spill in the state's history. "Ayear later the road may crack up where there was a spill, and how do we get our money then?" Johnsonsaid there should be some kind of compensation for the county equipment used in cleaning up theTrans-Mountain spill. Johnson told the hearing that the proposed tax should not be a general fund-raising bill for the state. "I feel a part of any moneys raised should go to the county concerned with a spill." ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 13 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Tuesday, February 13, 1973 the _ western front sports Women bury Portland State,54-17; stop Oregon, 49-36 The women's varsity basketball team traveled to Oregon this weekend to bring home two more victories.

Playing awayfrom Carver Gym for the last time this year, Western beat Southern Oregon College, 87-74, in Ashland,Ore., Friday, and rolled over Oregon Tech, 85-74, in Klamath Falls, Ore., Saturday. Western's Ail-American candidate, Mike Franza, captured another school record Friday when he hit 35 points againstthe Red Raiders for the Viking one-season scoring mark. Adding his 34 points from the OTI game thenext night, Franza now has 592 points for the year, well over the old record of 539 set by Ron Crowe inthe 1959-60 season. Friday the Viks moved to a quick 18-13 lead over the Red Raiders with Tom Mount and Chuck Price accounting for 16 of those early points. A methodical attack carried Western to a 44-27 halftime lead that sent SOC into a full court press. In the first half Mount had 10 points, Price 6 andFranza 12 as the Viks riddled the Raider defense with outside shooting. Hitting 53 per cent of its shotsfrom the field, Western built up a 20 point lead in the second half before SOC started a late rally.Franza's 35 points led the Viks and Mount finished with 12. SOC's leading scorer was Dean Lohrmanwith 29. Rod Petersen and Dave Orr had 12 each. The Raiders shot 43 per cent from the floor, hitting 33 of 77 tries. Keith Lowry led the Viks with seven rebounds, but was ejected with 6:43 left after a floorfight. Mount and Dick Bissell each finished with seven rebounds for Western. Lohrman led the Raiderswith 12 boards. Randall credited his bench with some "great relief work" in Saturday's win over the Owlsof OTI. "The reserves did a great job," he said, "coming off the bench to score and keep the defensegoing." Standout reserve in the game was Craig Nicholes, coming off the bench in the second half hewent five for five from the field and six of seven at the line to give the Viks a 16 point scoring boost whenthey needed the points.- The Owls had chopped an early 43-23 Vik lead to 48-35 by the half and movedwithin nine at 60-5 1 before Nicholes went to work. The Owls were led by Elvin Brock with 16 points.Dave Carrigan had 15 and Doug Vigneau hit for 14. From the field the Viks shot 48 per cent, hitting 33 of 65 attempts. OTI made 28 of 72 tries for a cool 39 per cent. WORKING ON A RECORD-Western's Mike Franza (15) shoots over Ben Murray (40) of Southern Oregon as the Viking set the school's seasonrecord for scoring.

The general theme of thearticle was the same sermon which coaches preach over and over again: "The game isn't over until thatfinal buzzer has sounded." That final buzzer is just around the corner and most anybody would considerthe Vikings hopelessly out of it, including maybe some of the Viks themselves. After all, Western is just13-10, nowhere near last season's record of 22-2 at this point, and therefore has no way to get into theplayoffs, right? Well, maybe (hedge, hedge) but while Western may not win this one they still have achance to send it into overtime. There are still some pros and cons which make the Viks' entry stillpossible, though admittedly improbably. The cons are that while the original plan at the start of theseason was to have a three team playoff, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)which governs the playoffs and the national tourney, split its 32nd district into two to make an oddnumber of districts for the 32-team tournament. Therefore, there will be a rotating playoff system betweentwo districts before one can go to Kansas City. This year the two districts will be number one (Western's) and five (Montana-Wyoming-Alberta-Saskatchewan) which eliminates the three-team format for at leastone year. Right now the front runner for the District. 5 title, though a playoff will be played there also, isEastern Montana, a 78-72 victim of the Vikings earlier this year. Now to the pros: there is probably onlyone clear choice for a playoff berth as of yet and that is Central. To better understand this, you shouldknow that the two playoff teams are chosen by a committee who decide which teams best deserve thehonor of suffering the heartpains of a playoff to a national tournament. Central is currently 15-5 but hasfive games left, all on the road. (This record doesn't count last night's game in Tacoma against PacificLutheran which was too late to be reported.) The Wildcats have yet to play in such fun places as Southern Oregon, Seattle (Seattle Pacific), and Portland (State). While Western possibly faced the roughestopening set of games, Central faces the toughest set of closing dates. The selection committeetheoretically looks not only at total won-loss record but the quality of opponents and the improvement of a team toward the end of a season. In other words, if two teams have relatively even records and Team Astarted out fast and finished bad and Team B started slow but finished with a lot of wins, B will probablybe favored. For the second berth in the playoffs the current candidates are Eastern Washington, SimonFraser, St. Martin's, Whitman and Western, probably in that order. Eastern has been rather steady, SFUhas been declining slightly (lost to Western by 12) but not badly (beat Central by one), Whitman is alsogoing down and St. Martin's is in a bad power dive. The Vikings, on the other hand, are hot, or at least athot as a 13-10 mark will allow. Western has won four in a row and eight of its last ten. The two losseswere to Central and Eastern but were close games. If the Viks can beat Eastern Friday night it wouldgreatly enhance their chances, however slight. What Western faces is an interesting situation similar to a one-and-one bonus free throw. If the Vikings make the first shot (beat Eastern Washington Friday) theystill have a chance if they can make the second shot (beat Eastern Oregon Saturday). Should Westernmiss either shot, then it will be all over. Then if they win both games, the Big Blue gets to sit around for at least a week to see if the gods (selection committee) will smile favorably on Sehome Hill. That smile willdepend on the outcome of Central's and Eastern Washington's remaining games. Western draws the last week's bye in Evergreen Conference competition, so the Viks end their regular season before theconference does. Once in the hands of the gods, er-selection committee, if the Viks are still in therunning the fact that Western won its last six and 10 of last 12, including wins over St. Martin's SimonFraser and Eastern should impress them. Except, committees being committees, the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. They get the joy of playing the numbers game. (Let's see, Central beatEastern, Simon Fraser beat Central, Simon Fraser beat St. Martin's, Western beat St. Martin's 102-77,therefore the Vikings are obviously the number one team, true?) Uh-huh. and Western's opponent will beUCLA. To be perfectly honest, Western's chances of making the playoffs are two-slim and none. But thislate in the season, with only two games left for the now famous Big Blue Band, at least it's a ray of hopeand coach Chuck Randall has probably gotten more mileage out of hope than any other coach in theNorthwest. The pressure is on, but that is when the Vikings have traditionally performed best. Anywayyou cut it, there is absolutely, positively, cut-and-dried no way on earth that Western can possibly makethe playoffsâ€”unless . . . . by O.K. JOHNSON Seattle Pacific proved why its wrestling team deservesits national ranking by pinning the Viking matmen 38-4 Friday evening in Carver Gym. ' The talentedFalcons collected three pins, four decisions and two forfeits while Western claimed only one decision.Seattle Pacific captured the first four weight classes with two pins and two decisions. Western's RudyPena fell victim to SPC's Dan York in 1:38 of the opening period. York led 10-0 before pinning the gamePena. Teammate Admiral Flunder fared slightly better in the 126 pound affair but the Falcons' Lee Allenpinned Flunder in 1:40 of the final round. Allen led 8-2 before the pin. Dwight Mack was beaten 16-1 byGaylord Strand in the 134 pound match. A loss of 10 or more points constitutes a major decision,whereas the victorious wrestler collects four points instead of the usual three for his team. At 142, MarkSencenbaugh lost a close 6-4 decision to Dave Manahan in a match that saw the lead . exchangedthree times. Manahan had to come from behind at 4-3 to score the decision. Tom Tripple scoredWestern's only points of the night by recording a 12-1 major decision over Paul Platter. Tripple,Western's strongest hope to win the conference title at his weight, dominated the contest from start tofinish, at one point standing Platter on his head. John Mosich, 167, was not able to follow in Tripple'sfootsteps, however, as he lost a 12-3 decision to Dave Petersen. The score recorded in the 177 poundcontest was hard to believe. Seattle Pacific's Bill Nipple racked up a 45-1 major decision victory overWestern's Dan Andersen. Andersen was awarded the single point on an unsportsman-like conductcharge cited against Nipple. Nipple is rated to be one of the premier wrestlers on the coast at hisweight. Brett Bennett became the last Viking to be pinned as Dave Smith immobilized the WesternGrotto to grow Western's AS Facilities Council agreed last week to follow through with plans to enlargethe Grotto, VU 301. The plans call for the Grotto to be extended into VU 308. It had been proposed thatVU 308 be used as a darkroom, but that plan fell through due to lack of support. To fund the project, ithas been recommended that the $3,000 of VU minor capital improvement funds that had been plannedfor the darkroom construction be reallocated. The expansion is scheduled to start during spring break.The beer with Mountain Fresh flavor. Rainier Beer. Rainier Brewing Company, Seattle, Washingtonheavyweight in 53 seconds of the third round.

Larry Richardson, director of forensics and coordinator of the event, said this is "the most competitive, mostregionally representative tournament held in the Northwest this year." Besides the Northwest collegesand universities that ordinarally compete with Western, some institutions will be sending teams from asfar away as South Dakota, Arizona, Utah and Southern California. Many of the distant universities aremaking their only appearance in the Northwest for several years. Richardson said the reason forattracting these distant teams is their recognition of Western as a superior forensics institute, andrecognition the high quality of Western's tournament management procedures. "Many of the institutionsthat will be here have placed in top ranks in national debate circles," Richardson said. "Thus the entireinstitution can be proud of this event." Schedules and information will be available in the Viking Unionlobby, beginning Thursday. Final rounds will be held Saturday afternoon in the Lecture Halls. Meditationfun, not difficult It is neither a philosophy nor a religion. One doesn't have to change his life style oreating habits to practice it. One doesn't have to sit in any certain position. One doesn't even have tobelieve it will work. Transcendental meditation, according to its proponents, will give a person bothphysical and mental benefits and requires only regular practice. Bob Warren, a Western student andteacher of meditation, says that scientists tell us that man uses only five per cent of his mentalcapacity. Transcendental meditation, he says, is an attempt to expand a person's consciousness byexpanding a person's "container of knowledge." The Students' International Meditation Society (SIMS)claims that the regular practice of transcendental meditation will remove the main causes of suchailments as hypertension, anxiety, high blood pressure and heart attacks. All interested persons areinvited to attend a SIMS lecture at 8 p.m. tomorrow or Thursday in Miller Hall 108. films 'NewCenturions' humanizes police by DAVE PETERSON Based on the recent bestselling novel by Sgt.Joseph W a m b a u g h , "The New Centurions" takes a good, hard look at what being a cop can belike. The result is not the old cops-and-robbers type story but the very .human relationship of AndyKilvensky (George C. Scott), the veteran cop, and Roy Taylor (Stacy Keach), the rookie. Though Andyis Roy's teacher and sees him through many problems, the story is devoted mainly to the young cop'slife, both on the police force and off. The movie is much like "Adam-12" in its ways of dealing with theaction but seems to have a different main theme altogether. True, it tries (usually succeeding quite well) to show the cops on the beat but the title suggests the transition between old (Andy) and new (Roy)ways, and the change is apparent. "The New Centurions" also shows the effects being a cop can haveon a wife (Jane Alexander) and family, in this case, Roy's. George C. Scott plays the veteran cop quiteperceptibly, leaving his old tough-guy theatrics for a more believable performance. Stacy Keach, arelative unknown, seems to fill Roy's shoes as if they were meant for him, I'm sure to the screenwriterStilliphant and director Fleischer's delight. I wasn't too impressed with Alexander's portrayal of Dorothy.She made her character appear to be shallow and quite cold, though maybe that was Stilliphant's plan.This story of a cop's growth from rookie to officer has moments of warm humor (getting prostitutes drunkso they can't perform their business), very moving drama and tragedy 'being a to oneself and shows the cop can bring others alike. The companion feature, "Dollars", stars Warren Beaty as Joe Collins andGoldie Hawn as a dingy Dawn. The point of the picture seems to be that money can make people doanything and, in this case, does. Collins is a bank employee in Hamburg, West Germany, who devisesa plan to steal his poor stupid employers of over \xh million dollars. As his girl friend Dawn, Hawn playsher part in the heist with her usual flair for the ridiculous. I was completely mystified by a parallel plotthat seems a take-off of old spy dramas. But screenwriter-director Robert Brooks appears content tolead the audience on until the 45 minutes of chase scenes attempt to make the viewer forget thevagueness of this plot, except that it makes the heist work. Goldie Hawn saves an otherwise triterobbery caper with her antics and the chase scenes are tense but a little drawn-out. The two movies are now showing at the Mt.

Army recruiter to face music April22, Earth Day, is a nationwide day of action to reclaim an environment ravaged by years of technological progress. The teach-in. on Western's campus has been expanded to a full week of speakers, clean-ups, trash-ins and rallies, in an effort to re-examine the ethic of the progress of man. representativeMorris Udall at 8 p .m. in the VU lounge. Udall, a representative from Arizona whose name issynonymous with conservation, will speak on "Man as an Endangered Species." On Friday, April 24,teachers will be requested to give an ecological slant to their class discussions. S t u d e n tgovernment leaders will attempt to expell U.S. Army recruiters from the campus placement centertomorrow afternoon. â€¢ The AS cabinet yesterday agreed to demonstrate after it was learned that theArmy would not honor a request to subject the recruiters to a one-hour questioning period open to allstudents. The cabinet will sponsor a noon musical rally in the VU plaza to draw student support for theprotest. See editorial on page 4. Whatcom may limit festivals Hearings on a county ordinance toregulate rock festivals will be held at 10 am., Monday, in the courthouse hearing room. The proposedordinance, drawn up by James Thompson, Whatcom County prosecuting attorney, will limit festivals toone day and require the approval of facilities by the health department and the county sheriff.Applications will be required at least 40 days before the event and applicants must submit fingerprints toand be investigated by the sheriffs office. Furthermore, the applicants must submit a minimum cashbond of $5,000 and give proof of liability insurance of at least $100,000 per person. Dr. Robert Keller,professor at Fairhaven and a member of the state executive board of the American Civil Liberties Union,has asked the ACLU legal staff to prepare a formal analysis of the ordinance's constitutionality. "In my opinion the ordinance violates the 1st, 5th, and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution in that itprevents freedom of assembly, violates due process of law, and denies equal protection under the law,"Keller said. "This ordinance is utter hypocrisy and a corruption of the power of the government. Itviolates the idea that law should be fair, rational, and clear, not haphazard, discriminatory and vague."Keller plans to have an ACLU lawyer at the meeting. Phyliss Edwards of the Activities Commission saidthat she felt the county commissioner's action is and attempt to head off the Multi-Arts Festival and any other festivals Western may plan. Moratorium leaders plan rally Local Moratorium supporters arepreparing for Income Tax Day on Wednesday April 15 to hold their first mass anti-war demonstration inBellingham since last November. The main thrust of the Moratorium and New Mobe demonstrationsacross the liation on that date will be directed against the Internal Revenue Service, which collects taxes to financially support the Vietnam war effort. The day's activities locally will begin with a peace marchfrom the campus to the Federal Building downtown, at 10:30 a.m. Carl Maxey, a Spokane attorney whois running against Henry Jackson for his Senate seat, will be the featured speaker at a noon rally at theFederal Building. Local Moratorium Committee spokesmen explained that a daytime march will give the demonstration additional exposure to downtown merchants and shoppers while enabling the marchersto confront the bureaucrats working in the Federal Building. Maxey, who is also president of theWashington Democratic Council, will be joined at the rally by speakers from the American Servicemen'sUnion Indian Servicemen's Union, and the Student Mobilization Committee. Musicians and poets will be on hand for the program also. The campus Moratorium Committee last month voted to encouragepeople not to pay at least $5 of their income tax in protest against the war. The committee requestedpersons not to pay their telephone excise tax as well, since that tax was re-imposed to help pay for thewar. Goltz discusses further campus expansion plans By 1974 Western's campus will have a predictedpopulation of over 13,000 students, Barney Goltz, campus planner, said discussing accelerated campus construction last week. Goltz sees Western with a population of 15,000 students by 1978 and seestoday's construction as a road into the future to handle the number of students. Workmen are nowworking along High Street to replace old utility cables, the first necessary step before the library orauditorium additions, Goltz said. Also being developed is the High Street by-pass project which will cutdown traffic congestion on the campus. The project will be open for bids April 17. The college and cityare working together on the by-pass project. Once completed, High Street will be restricted forpedestrian use, except for an emergency vehicle lane, Goltz said. Along with street and academicimprovements, Goltz looks ahead to college housing now being built and more in the planning stages.With these major changes in Western's campus comes an equal idea fostered by Goltz and his staff:the search for people who can create "inspired, man-made developments."

Baker said that the task force will be assigned to thoroughly investigate student complaints and bookstoreorganization and administration. "We will attempt to alter the bookstore after thorough investigationsand hearings have been made by this group," Baker told the AS cabinet Thursday afternoon. Thecommittee will include the chairman of the AS legislature bookstore committee, one AS legislator,student members of the co-op bookstore board, AS Administrative Assistant Al Doan, AS BusinessManager Les Savitch, and two students from the general student body. Baker told the cabinet that "it isobvious that the root of the bookstore problem is that the chairman of the co-op bookstore board (Dr.Mitchell) has on several occasions said that he feels no real problem exists and in his opinion theneeds of the students are being adequately met." The task force must present a comprehensiveproposal for effecting the necessary changes in the bookstore by May 1, Baker told the AS cabinet. Hehas not yet appointed all of the members of the task force. The AS president and Dr. Howard Mitchell,chairman of the co-op bookstore board, are listed as ex-officio members of the task force. AS Cabinetobjects to armed uniformed police Student government officials are up-tight because armed uniformedpolice were used to guard the co-op bookstore during last week's busy rush for books.

"Even if someone stole $50,000 from thebookstore, I don't think that he should be shot for it," Baker explained. A student governmentspokesman said yesterday that the proposal to be presented to the AS legislature this afternoon willprobably include a clause calling for the banning of the use of weapons by campus security police also.Campus police currently aren't issued sidearms. Students at park-in Three students were found notguilty of violating the college demonstration policy last quarter when they appeared before theIntermediate Student Judiciary Board. Charges of "interfering with and impeding pedestrian traffic in Red Square" were filed against Jerry Field, Steve Cooper, Mike Veitenhans and -Mike Shannon following the Feb. 26 park-in demonstration. According to Serge Slagle, legal aids representative at the trial, thecharges against Shannon were dismissed because he had not been advised by any member of theadministration that he was violating the demonstration policy. In finding the other three not guilty, theJudiciary Board ruled acquitted trial that Red Square was not exclusively a pedestrian area and t h a tthe definition of "demonstration" as used in the Navigator was not clear. The Student ConductCommittee was asked to clarify the meaning, Slagle said. On three occasions last quarter, the ASlegislature passed bills supporting park-ins in Red Square to protest the parking fees. The legislatorsactively called for a park-in at the Feb. 11 meeting, and in two resolutions p a s s e d March 3 theycommended Dr. Richard Vawter, assistant professor of physics, for his stand on the policy. Vawter hadinitiated the Feb. 26 park-in that resulted in the charges against the students. OCIC selects new nameOff-Campus Interhouse Council (OCIC) officially changed their name to Off-Campus InterhouseCommunity at a special meeting held at the conclusion of Winter quarter. The name was changed toemphasize the fact that OCIC is open to any off-campus student and is not a select "council," according to Pete White, OCIC president. OCIC now handles fund raising and social events for the HousingCommission. The two groups and the Tenants Union merged last quarter. OCIC members are planningevents in cooperation with the Environmental Quality Council and for the Multi-Arts Festival. OCIC isworking with the Housing Commission and the Tenants Union in distributing contracts for rentalagreements or term leases for any landlords and tenants who request them. Approximately 200contracts have been requested so far this year. OCIC invites all off-campus students to attend itsweekly meetings at the new time of 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays (instead of Mondays). Meetings willoccasionally be held outdoors. Tonight's meeting will be held in VU 354. Removed trees to be replacedWalking past the VU, one cannot help but notice the large hole in the ground where a border of treesonce stood. In place of the once-blooming foliage, workmen are repairing the damage done to many VUutilities such as steam, heat and sewage lines. The damage occurred when underground electrical andsteam lines came in contact with corrosive salt in the soil which damaged the pipes and made themunable to expand and contract, according to Robert Aegerter, college architect. The steam leak wasalso responsible for the death of the grass in front of the building. One row of trees will be planted thisyear and in three or four years a double row will be planted along with other landscaping, Aegerter said.London Plain, sometimes referred to as Eastern Sycamore, will be used, he said. "These are goodstreet trees in this type of area because they can be grown in areas that contain a certain amount ofpaving, and they are also pollution resistant."

There aresome definite questions to be answered over the future of Sehome Hill, and we feel we must answerthe letter from 13 members of the Sehome Hill Improvement Troops. First of all, none of the area beingcreated by the destruction of Garden Terrace will be reverted to parking. All of that area is for the newmusic auditorium addition including pedestrian walkways and plazas and a by-pass road. CampusPlanner Barney Goltz has also had some reservations concerning the approximately 7-acre UnitedHomes project on the southeast corner of Sehome Hill, but assures that there will be no lighted path cutthrough the hill. The pedestrian route from these married students' apartments will follow CollegeParkway. Goltz said that the long-range plan for the campus will eliminate all but pedestrian andemergency vehicular traffic through the campus. He said that campus planning and the Board of Trustees consistently try to use the best environmental-consideration practices. The wooded glen taken outbetween Fairhaven and the tennis courts was dying due to soil deficiencies created by the parking lotthat was there. That lot was removed and the trees taken out in preparation for landscaping, Goltz said. The installation of bright lights on pathways has been attacked. But it has also been supported bypedestrians who want to see where they are going at night. Bob Mickelson, supervisor of grounds andgardens, said that Western has not used a defoliant called 245-T since June, 1969. Western currentlyuses a defoliant called ZEP 777. Neither of the non-selective vegetation killers is harmful to wildlife orhumans, Mickelsen said. Western currently uses another weed killer, a granular material, which is alsoharmless to animals. The college does not own the major portion of Sehome Hill. The strip it does ownalong the western face of the hill has been left to grow wild except for a path. A proposal by theArboretum Committee that the city designate the remaining portion of Sehome Hill as an arboretum tobe created and kept by both the city and the college communities includes plans for benches, lawn areas and a small pond. Dr. Ronald Taylor, committee chairman, said that his group would like to see the hillremain as undeveloped as possible-including the closure of the existing road. But he pointed out that any proposal over the future of the hill must be compatible with the largest portion of the communities totalpopulation that would benefit from it. We realize that environmental concern begins at home. But we also realize that our home consists of both our man-made and natural environments. Our problem is tocreate a suitable environment combining the best of both of these environments which will satisfy themost people. -Bob Burnett Straight facts on placement policies Let's get some facts straight concerning recent protests over college placement services and policies. The Winter AS legislative conventionpassed Bill 76 which reads: " . . . any organization may recruit on campus, and use all facilitiesdesignated for that purpose by the college providing they also make themselves available for one hour ofpublic questioning by any member of the college community upon petition by twenty communitymembers; and that refusal to participate in this public questioning shall necessarily result in a denial ofthe privilege of use of this campus for recruiting." Bill 76 is not irrational. The proponents were interestedin making the placement experience on educational endeavor open to any interested student, not justgraduating seniors. The one hour of questioning was not proposed as an excuse for radical factions oncampus to harass employers who maintain military contracts or restrictive hiring policies. Thequestioning period was proposed to allow interested students a chance to rap with employers about their business in a peaceful manner. The placement office is bound by the open placement policy adopted bythe staff commentary Jim Bromley The Spring quarter activities calendar is reflective of the continuingdetrimental change in moral values taking place in this country. This obscene bit of paraphernalia may be shocking to few who see it, and I may be accused of being Victorian for making my views known. Even Iwas not as shocked by it as I might have been at a more tender age. Nevertheless, obscenity is notjudged solely by the reactions of people, but on the basis of common standards of decency which areuniversal and unchanging. We have lost these standards, it seems. My argument is not against nudity per se, but against the mass-productive commercialization of it, which only serves to cheapen our God-given sexuality. We have become a nation obsessed with sex and nudity to the point that they have becomeour gods for a base form of idolatry. We see graphically portrayed in our books, magazines, movies andthe theater this irresponsible sexual permissiveness. Pornography has even become a "respectable artform." It is time to face up to the fact that this type of permissiveness in our society is not making us any healthier than the Victorian prudishness of an earlier era. In other words, it is time for ActivitiesCommissioner George Hartwell's men to stop using student funds to pervade the campus with sub-cultural hippie hardware. Opinions expressed in this column are not necessarily those of the editor orother staff members. FRANKLYSPEAK1NG b/Philfirmk Board of Trustees in January 1969. Theeducation placement director told us that he has no alternative but to uphold that policy, which wasratified by the Associated Students at the time. The placement office has notified all prospectiveemployers by mail about Bill 76 and asked them to give the student proposal "serious consideration."Most employers have already responded. Only a few said that they could not honor the proposalbecause of company policy, but most were apprehensive as to how the one hour questioning periodwould be conducted. Some feared that the meeting would only erupt into a harassment session in which nobody would learn anything. Now is the time for student government to draw up solid guidelines for theone hour questioning period, since that seems to be the only real hang-up so far. Once that has beensettled, there seems to be no reason why the college community could not expect total cooperation from prospective employers. Since Bill 76's intent was to modify the open placement policy which is stillofficially in effect, the Associated Students should turn to urging the Board of Trustees to bring theplacement policy up to date. â€”John Stolpe 'ALL THOSE IN fAVOR oF WSBANDIN3 THE "SANTA.BfcKBN?A SURFING CLOB" SAY,, AV6!" lt;g gt; YWMeÂ» AMS*1CA conp./ii i A*H K gt;/ST.LOU^.hAo.

We agree that Whatcom County must not be transformed into an industrial park,however, we must protest the Front's lack of attention to destruction of the environment done by thecollege. It is so easy to attack Intalco, Atlantic-Richfield and Georgia Pacific (who indeed deserve the cr i t i c i s m ) , yet if the environmental battle is to be won, it must also begin at home and must involvesome pain and sacrifice on our part. To combat short-sightedness and self-righteousness, we proposethat the Front keep a constant, critical eye on campus planning and do everything possible to exposethe college's destruction of earth and trees before the bulldozers and chain-saws arrive. So, if theecology teach-in is to be something more than an exercise in accusation, we must look hard atWestern. Here are a few questions for debate: â€”Must we remove the picturesque and historicallyvaluable CCM House in exchange for more parking? And why must we destroy Garden Terrace for theconvenience of the Almighty Auto? â€”Why did the college decide to chew into SE Sehome Hill for itsmarried apartments? Does the college plan' to cut a lighted swath directly across Sehome Hill fromthose apartments? â€”Why has the college expanded south into farmland and orchards instead of northinto a deteriorated residential section and how can this be halted? â€”Why was a beautiful wooded glendestroyed to make room for Fairhaven College? Why was the land between the tennis courts andFairhaven utterly mauled instead of preserved in its semi-natural state? â€”Why does the college usedefoliant 245-T and how does this defoliant, which is used in Vietnam, affect birds, wildlife and humans?What other chemicals and pesticides is the college using on its grounds? â€”Why is so much asphaltsmeared all over the earth in contrast to a campus like Santa Cruz, where people are expected to walk,rather than drive to their offices and classes? â€”What are the college's long-range plans for SehomeHill? Should we build more roads on the Hill or close down the one that is there? Do we want a summitlookout tower, an artificial pond, picnic areas, conference centers, sewers, office buildings, lights, trafficand trash on the Hill, or do we want it quiet, wild and natural? â€”Who is so infatuated with red brick that all bare earth must Education needs involvement be covered with it rather than plants? In conclusion:Western is motivated by the same values as industry and the rest of our society, namely that progressis good, that development is good, that "the hum of heavy equipment" (as FAST puts it) is good, thathuman convenience preceeds environment and that expansion preceeds preservation of nature. Reforms should begin at home. Or, if we honor these values on our campus, let us not condemn heavy industrywhich makes much of our lovely way of life possible. (Ed. Note: This letter was signed by 13 membersof an organization called The Sehome Hill Improvement Troops which is dedicated to preserving "The Hillin its present state and, if possible, making it more wild by eliminating cars and litter from the park.")Editor: Like7 many other students in similar financial condition, ever since the parking fees went up by225 per cent, I have been unable to drive my car to school. For this reason I have followed the parkingbattle as closely as I can. Prior to this outrageous act on behalf of the numb bureaucratic "system" Idevoted my time almost exclusively to my academic progress, even to the point of actively avoidingparticipation or involvement in any "anti-establishment" movements. I had naively believed that it ispossible to get an education at Western without becoming involved. Now that I have been compelled bythe circumstances to become involved, I would like to pass some information on to my fellow students:If you do not become involved and voice your opinions, you will not get the education you are entitled toget. Though I do not intend to become a "foaming-at-the- Letters to the editor should be short and to the point, including the writer's name, class and major. Telephone numbers should be included if possible.Members of the academic community are also welcome to contribute articles, features, guestcommentaries and other material of interest to the community. mouth" revolutionary, since myinvolvement as a result of the parking situation it has become evident to me that unless enough students accept the adult responsibility of making their â€¢ views known; then this school will continue to be runin the same inefficient, high-handed bureaucratic way that it has been run in the past. Furthermore, Ithink it is a pity that those among us who honestly seek an education are not being given theopportunity to get one because the immature acts of a few give the administration the backing theyneed to say, "See there, those are the people that want the change. Observe how immature they are."Thus; desirable changes are stalled because those among us who can accept adult responsibilities areignored "because we are students and all students are immature." What's more, I think it is a pity thatthose $20,000-a-year professionals charged with the responsibility of developing our tender, young minds relegate us to the role of "niggers," and very paternalistically promise to give our demands andsuggestions "our most careful study and attention" in the hope of stalling us off. It then becomesnecessary to create a forcible confrontation.

Hansen senior Editor: He's dead. He was shot to death. All he ever did was love twogirls. Guess he loved them to death, in a way, because that speeding car hit him while he was followingthe girls. No thoughtful person would speed on a rainy night near d o r m i t o r i e s filled withstudentsâ€”but they did and almost killed the girls instead of the beautiful black Labrador. Editor:Although the campaign against litter, students vs. Sehome Hill, is admirable in some respects, I will notsupport it for the following reasons: I think that it is missing the point. Our environment is endangeredbut not because of litter. The danger lies in an entire mode of life. Litter is only a secondary aspect ofthis problem. The primary problem is the unnecessary consumption that created that litter. Attackinglitter is only attacking the sympton, not the disease. The energies expended in such campaigns wouldbe put to better use in organized activity, via demonstrations, aimed at the primary problem. Peopleengaged in such activity might think that they are engaged in something meaningful and that theirresponsibilities toward the environment have been fulfilled. Nathan M.Mason junior soc/anthro I wonder,driver of the red car, if you would have run away from responsibility on that Friday night if you'd hit thegirls insteadâ€”undoubtedly, that's your type, isn't it? The same type that speeds outrageously d o e s n ' t think of the consequences of his actions. You know, usually I worry about the population explosion,the war, pollution and all those major things but I've concluded it's often the same type of irresponsibleperson that speeds who also condones other inconsiderate, irresponsibilities like wars. So, trailer girlsare starting a war on speed. We intend to take down license numbers and descriptions of speeders and taken them to court on citizens complaints.

Lensine is the one contact lenssolution for complete contact care...preparing, cleansing, and soaking. There was a time when youneeded two or more different lens solutions to properly prepare and maintain your contacts. No more.Lensine, from The Murine Company, makes caring for contact lenses as convenient as wearing them. Just a drop or two of Lensine coats and lubricates your lens. This allows the lens to float more freely inthe eye, reducing tearful irritation. Why? Because Lensine is a compatible, "isotonic" solution, verymuch like your eye's natural fluids. Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the build-up of foreign deposits on the lenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine between wearing periods assuresyou of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soaking-storage case with individual lens compartments onthe bottom of every bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated the improper storage between wear-ings permits the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in somecases can endanger your vision.

Show morethe Vol. LXII no. 18 western front Western Washington State College Beltingham, Washington 98225 Tuesday, January 13, 1970 10c Doan quits presidency; Baker in AS President Al Doan voluntarily resigned his office Thursday afternoon. Vice-president Greg Baker has assumed the presidency under p r o v i s i o n s of t h e AS Constitution. Doan told the AS legislature that he was stepping down due to physical, financial and administrative reasons. His decision came as a complete surprise to most of student government. "I have been swamped with a lot of little stuff during the past quarter and couldn't accomplish what I had set out to do," Doan explained. He later told the Western Front that the decision was also based on his "lack of ability to accomplish anything due to the intransigence of administrators and faculty." Doan admitted that he was disappointed with the sluggish progress of the proposed faculty-student pub on campus. The pub was one of his campaign pledges during last Spring's AS elections. In his closing remarks before Thursday's legislature meeting, Doan said that he was d i s a p p o i n t e d w i t h the legislature's failure to take the i n i t i a t i v e necessary for responsible leadership. "Too many times legislators came to me for answers, not advice," Doan remarked. He added that he had "all the confidence in the world" that Greg Baker would adequately handle the presidency. Doan, a part-time student this quarter, said that he would be willing to assist student government on the pub project and the current bookstore issue. AS suggests Co-op study JOHN STOLPE exchange editor The Associated Students might finance a comprehensive survey of co-op bookstore operations on campus, former AS P r e s i d e n t Al Doan announced late last week. Doan said the study is necessary following wide-spread student complaints of bookstore operations over the past three years. " T h e survey would be s i g n i f i c a n t l y helpful in determining whether or not a rebate system is feasible and primarily if we can promote more efficient operation of the facility," Doan said. Bookstore Manager Ray Knabe had no comment for the Western Front when asked for an opinion of the proposed study. Dr. Howard Mitchell, acting chairman of the economics department and chairman of the Bookstore Board, said that neither he nor his board had been confronted with the alleged inefficient operations. "I think that the Associated Students should come to the Bookstore Board with their problems before hiring a management consultant," Mitchell explained. Due to a cut-back in state funds, the survey will have to be financed by the Associated Students. The AS legislature must give the go-ahead by a two-thirds majority vote. Doan said that he was confident that the legislature will give the final approval. A preliminary study proposal has been submitted by Harry J. Prior and Associates, Inc., management consultants in Seattle. The proposed survey includes a student wants questionnaire and a comprehensive survey of bookstore operations and plans. The study would include observation of bookstore operations and a review of operating records. Doan said the study might cost the Associated Students as much as $8,400. Al Doan, AS President, has resigned his office due to a number of reasons. See letter page 5. -photo by walker Speakers set for Moratorium Vietnam Moratorium activities for January will center around programs offered this Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday has been designated "Peace Action Day" throughout the country. A special ceremony honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,-the assassinated civil rights and peace activist who was born on January 15—will be held at 12:30 p.m. Thursday in L-3. A speech he delivered shortly before his death, linking the liberation struggles in Vietnam and America, will be read, and the award winning film, A Face of War, will be shown. A s p e a k e r from the student-organizers of the Canadian Vietnam-protest movement will explain what is happening in Canada and how t h e n a t i o n a l and local movements can be tied together Friday afternoon in the VU lounge. "Mr. Nixon has made it quite clear that the war is not going to be over soon," Dr. Bernard Weiner, a Moratorium Committee spokesman, said. "Indeed, the aims of the Nixon Administration are the same as those of the Johnson years: to 'hold' South Vietnam for American military and economic ends, one way or the other, with American or puppet troops. "Hence, we have to redouble our efforts to educate first ourselves on the facts of the war, and then help educate others." There will be an important meeting of Western's Vietnam Moratorium Committee at 3 p.m. today in VU 10. The Committee will discuss this month's program and h o w it can be coordinated, and plan for February's larger Moratorium activities. Police crack down on hikers The Bellingham Police Department began enforcing a city ordinance against hitchhiking early last week. Nineteen citations were issued to Western students on Tuesday alone. Under Title 18 of the city code, the provision states, "It shall be unlawful for any person upon any public highway of this city to solicit by word or sign or by any other means for himself or for another or for his baggage or for the baggage of another any transportation on vehicles being operated upon such public highways. This thumb's owner is in for a bust, as Bellingham Police have "accelerated enforcement" of city's hitchhiking ordinance. —photo by gowrylow "It shall be unlawful for any person operating any vehicle upon any public highway of this city to offer or give to any such person or other person aforesaid transportation upon such solicitation . . .. " This does not mean that a person cannot offer or give a ride to any person as long as that person had not solicited for that ride before hand. The key word is solicitation. As long as no soliciting sign or word is made, no law has been b r o k e n , whether transportation is given or not, according to a spokesman for Police Chief Cecil Klein. Persons offering rides to non-solicitors are not breaking the law as long as they do not block or impede traffic by doing so. This provision does not apply when a person is soliciting transportation from a public conveyance or passenger carrier such as a bus or taxi-cab, or f r o m s o l i c i t i n g aid or transportation from a passing motorist when an actual emergency exists. The s p o k e s m a n cited "numerous complaints" by citizens concerning congested traffic caused by hitchhiking as part of the reason for the recent crackdown. He noted the ease with which runaways might obtain transportation if the hitchhiking laws were not enforced. A B e l l i n g h a m Police Inspector noted three rape or attempted rape incidents involving Western women as another reason. In two of the c a s e s t h e women were hitchhiking and in the other an offered ride was accepted. The police spokesman said that the police department was not c o n c e n t r a t i n g their enforcement on streets adjacent to the college, but said that more citations naturally would be issued in an area of higher violation frequency. There was no outside pressure from either the college or the s t a t e t o encourage the accelerated enforcement, he said. i uesuciy, jdiiudi y i J , i y ; u western i-foiu 'Guilty' hitchhikers awarded $ 1 2 fines Nine Western students entered pleas of "guilty" to hitchhiking in Bellingham m u n i c i p a l Court Friday morning. Judge Ward Williams awarded each of them a $12 fine, $10 of which was suspended. A college is a collection of intelligent and attractive young men and women which "attracts a different element on the college periphery," Judge Williams said. A spokesman for the court cited three rape or attempted rape cases involving Western coeds as one of the primary reasons for the accelerated enforcement of hitchhiking laws. "However, this is not the beginning of any anti-student campaign on the part of the Bellingham Police Department," he said. Judge Williams considered defendants' complaints that there had not been sufficient prior warning in levying the suspended fines, but noted that the court would not be so "amenable in the future." The court took 11 minutes to dispense with the hitchhiking cases. Judge Williams also stated the "court's views" on parking tickets. "President Flora attended a meeting where we discussed the parking problems and was asked how the college intended to cope with them. "He detailed the current expansion of the college but offered no solutions to the parking problems," Judge Williams said. "If you get a parking ticket, pay it. That's all," he said. UN ambassador to talk on Indonesian problems Ambassador H. Roeslan Abdulgani, permanent representative of Indonesia to the United Nations, will be on c a m p u s t o m o r r o w and Thursday. Dr. Abdulgani will speak on c o n t e m p o r a r y Indonesian problems at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the VU Lounge. A reception will also be held at 11 a.m. Thursday in the VU Lounge with a questions and answers session. Dr. Abdulgani is the author of numerous books on the subject of Indonesian history and nationalism. Fairhaven students moved into four completed dorms last week after many setbacks. —photo by fisher Wick meets deadline : more dorms The Wick Construction Co. met a much-delayed deadline and turned over four Fairhaven dorms to the College in time for the start of Winter quarter.

Western Front 3 Speaker shows beauty amidst ugliness in Vietnam slides "We ought to get away from the blood and guts and gore we see on television every night," Roger Steffens, actor, poet and lecturer; said last week. An estimated 150 persons watched Steffens show more than 300 color slides he took during his 26-month tour in Vietnam. The slides played down combat and depicted the beauty of the people and religions of Vietnam. Steffens came to know the Vietnamese people personally while working in civic actions in Saigon and the rural regions. He directed the operations for refugees after the Tet offensive in February 1968, he said. The b o m b i n g leaves thousands homeless, he said. He showed pictures of entire families living in sewer pipes. The Vietnamese people despise the officials, the leoturer said. "If Thieu and Ky were removed from power the condition would be created under which a leader would emerge who could unite the political and religious factions in the South." He attributed the failure of American propaganda to the lack of understanding between the American soldiers and the Vietnamese. Steffens is currently on a 6-month tour of college campuses throughout the United States, he said. His book, The Coconut Monk and Other Vietnamese Portraits will be released soon. Western may offer course in Chinese language in future A proposal that Chinese be offered at Western next year is currently being studied by the Arts and Sciences Committee of the Academic Council. Two primary reasons for the request were given in a m e m o r a n d u m which was unanimously endorsed by the history and political science departments. First, at this time there is an obvious need to study and understand Asia, and second, that Western now has both the staff necessary to "develop a serious and advanced program of Asian studies." Currently there are ten courses offered by five departments that could fit into such a program. There are at least 18 courses proposed for the 1970-71 academic year. • A survey of students in the existing classes indicated that at least 37 would be immediately interested in a course in Chinese. Dr. Henry G. Schwarz, professor of history and political science, stated that knowledge of the language is essential to undertake any serious study of Asia. Also the lead time necessary to gain a reading knowledge of oriental languages is so much greater than for European languages that the sooner Chinese can be started the better, Schwarz said. Dr. Walter L. Robinson, chairman of the department of foreign languages, expressed qualms that due to budgetary restrictions, the introduction of Chinese might , result in the cutting back of existing language programs. Students interested in pursuing studies in the Asian field should talk with either Dr. Schwarz or Edward H. Kaplan in the history department. Underground films planned for Winter: 'Beyond the law,' 'Piggies' scheduled Beyond the Law, an underground film by Norman Mailer, will be shown at 7 and 9:15 Friday night in L-4. Mailer's film probes the world of the big city policeman and explodes the Hollywood myth of the dedicated cop. Professionals Rip Torn and Beverly Bentley and amateurs George Plimpton and Michael McClure appear in the picture, which stars Mailer as the main character. Piggies, a selected short subject, will be shown too.

Conflicting information has been received by Serge Slagle, Western's draft counselor. According to Slagle, the local Bellingham draft board has one version of the way the system should function, and law publications from Washington, D.C., have published a conflicting system. Amid all the confusion taking place, Slagle stresses that students should not waive their II-S student deferments, in the belief that their number is high enough to be safe. No number is safe, Slagle warns, and dropping your deferment now will serve no purpose other than to increase your likelihood of being inducted. It appears at present that if a student retains his deferment, he will still be in the 1970 pool if it expires anytime this year. There is no advantage to dropping it. You will still be in this year's pool if your deferment is expiring this year. Even the various states have been speculating about the workings of the new system, and the confusion precludes any final determination of what is going to happen for the present. It seems likely that some major changes or ground rules will soon be made, and the ll-S deferment itself cannot be considered sacred ground. Check the story on page nine. It may provide some insight into one of the most perplexing messes that has yet been devised to stall the demands of the reform-oriented of our country. —Mike Gowrylow Offers fact vs. fiction for hitchhikers Fact: Hitchhiking in the city of Bellingham is illegal. Fact: Strict enforcement of the hitchhiking laws along Indian and other collegeaccess streets will reduce the frequency of hitchhiking violations along these streets— but it will not stop hitchhiking. Fiction: Strict enforcement of the hitchhiking laws will restrict the movements of rapists, perverts and exhibitionists. In fact, we feel that this strict enforcement will increase the opportunities social deviates have with Western coeds. Many coeds have relied on hitchhiking a ride to campus and would now accept a ride more readily from questionable persons, since student-motorists, having been made aware of the accelerated enforcement are less likely to offer rides. Any person who would risk the penalty for rape is certainly not worried about the relatively minor penalty for picking up a hitchhiker. And offering a ride to a nonhitchhiker is not illegal. - B o b Burnett QUIPS AND QUOTES FROM THE CAMPUS NEWSPAPER 20 YEARS AGO Following the pep rally Friday, Nov. 12, 1948, the annual bonfire, built by the freshman boys, will be guarded by the upper classmen in their attempt to light it.

Tuesday, January 13, 1970 Western Front 5 feedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedbackfeedba Doan cites reasons behind withdrawal from presidency Ellis clarifies request Editor: It was unfortunate that an open letter which I addressed to President Flora was published in the Western Front issue of Dec. 9, 1969, as a letter to the editor. In this context my letter made demands for the names of faculty you as editor could hardly be expected to furnish. My letter to President Flora was essentially a request that the names of all faculty members who received merit increases be published widely and not simply made available to members of t h e various departments represented. I reminded the President that Skagit Valley College published the names of its faculty who had received merit raises in the Bellingham Herald. This information is of interest not only to academic people but to taxpayers as well. Not to publish the list along with the criteria used in selecting "meritorious" faculty gives rise inevitably to charges of political log-rolling and academic nepotism. Moreover, if the list were made public, those who did not earn merit increases would have the names of their fellow faculty who were deemed to be superior as models for their own teaching effort. There really is no good reason why the list should not be made freely and widely available. Indeed, we teachers, students and tax-payers are entitled to it! Frederick E. Ellis professor education Bow-Wow! Students rescue trapped dogs DON DE MARCO staff reporter Quick-thinking students responded to the frantic, almost human, barks and cries of two overly-playful puppies trapped in the icy water of the Fischer Fountain in Red Square last Tuesday. According to witnesses, the two animals, species or pedigrees unknown, were chasing each other, around Red Square. Their frolicking antics carried them over the fountain's retaining wall and down to the thick ice below. The ice is thick only at the outer edges of the moat and thins out near the middle. This is where the pups fell in. Pitiful cries from the scared canines immediately attracted a crowd of about 150 students Poll sci club to meet The Political Science Club's regular monthly meeting will be held 3 p.m. Thursday in VU 364. Curriculum changes will be discussed and all Political Science students, or any student with nine or more credits in this area are invited to attend, Bruce McDonald, spokesman, said. Suggestions are welcome concerning the Political Science curriculum. and faculty, including this reporter. Various arts and science solutions to free the animals were contemplated. One excited student raced into Bond Hall and returned with a six-foot push broom. He tried, unsuccessfully, to beat a hole in the ice with the handle. As the broom was held out, another excited genius yelled to the pups, "Grab the handle! Grab the handle!" Then, a pair of male students began to shot-put huge cement blocks into the moat, breaking up the ice and clearing a path for one of the stranded pooches. Finally, a wild-eyed coed, obviously more concerned about the dog's safety than her own, ripped off her coat, tippy-toed across the ice, grabbed the second animal and dragged it to safety. As the crowd began to break up, one student made a rather sober comment. "The water should have been drained from the moat a long time ago—at least before the cold weather set in. "With all of the campus school kids running around, next time it could be one of them—and then we might not be so lucky." To Western Students: The major way a president can be representative is by keeping his campaign promises. This I have been most conscious of for the past eight months. Some of the promises I have kept, while others I have been prevented from fulfilling at this point. There is little I want more. I shall continue to work on these and will have more time to do so. A second task of the president is to act as a buffer between students and the administration, etc. This becomes increasingly difficult with administration intransigence and has physically exhausted me. Another task is that of administrating the Associated Students and here I have found that Greg Baker's ability surpasses mine. With my resignation is an application as his administrative assistant. I have a maximum amount of faith in his ability and look forward to governance by him, a younger man. In the past quarter he has adequately demonstrated his leadership ability. My personal problems have become complex. Financial obligations that I had -not anticipated have become pressing. The summation of these and other problems has forced me to realize that to continue in office would mean doing a less effective job than what needs to be done, one less effective than what Greg can do. I would like to discuss this with anyone who has questions. My office hours will be 10 to 12 daily, room VU 005. If I could have any wish or ideal it would be as Erich Fromm's—that every man be his own leader. Only then can all of us attain the responsibility that will make us free.

Western Front Tuesday, January 13, 1970 National Campus Review From the INTERCOLLEGIATE Press Service CINCINNATI, Ohio - A total of 7,750,000 students, an increase of about 3.3 per cent over last year, are enrolled this academic year in the nation's colleges and universities. According to Dr. Garland G. Parker, national authority on collegiate enrollment at the University of Cincinnati, even greater increases are forecast for the future, thanks to softening of the Vietnam war and the growing importance of graduate studies. STORRS, Conn. — A "representative" signer of one of the mass-signature Vietnam protest petitions, was probably a ranking faculty member in the social sciences from a large northeastern university. These were among the findings of a recent survey conducted by Dr. Everett C. Ladds, Jr., an associate professor of political science at the University of Connecticut. His study indicated that signers of these petitions, published in the New York Times between 1964 and 1968, came from 100 to 150 of the "top or middle range" institutions of higher learning in this country. Dr. Ladd claims that there are 2,400 such institutions. Dr. Robert Holz, director of the computer center, displays an IBM 360 computer which may be used to "teach" in the classroom. —photo by walker New machine 'teaches' daily classes in computer center JIM BROMLEY staff reporter "Greetings," the computer types. "This demonstration shows two related uses of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)." Thus begins a unique demonstration of a promising new breakthrough in classroom teaching, the first of its kind in any school on the West Coast. Other schools, such as the University of Texas and Stanford University, are also doing extensive work with CAI. Western's computer center is offering daily CAI sessions "taught" by the IBM 360-40 computer, installed last Spring quarter. These sessions are designed to demonstrate the teaching and testing abilities of the computer for classroom teaching. The computer will not replace the teacher, however, according to Rick Galosy, a graduate student in psychology. Galosy is presently doing research on the effects of CAI on the learning process. "The teacher will still be needed to handle individual student needs, such as answering questions not included in the basic program," he said. In addition, the teacher will continue to play a vital role in determining what material his s t u d e n t s will learn by programming. "The program is only as good as the programmer,- and its quality depends on the instructor's knowledge of the course," Galosy said. CAI was developed primarily by Joe Hansen, a former Western graduate student in math, now at the University of Texas. The computer gives necessary information on a particular subject to the student, then asks him questions based-on it. The student types his answers on a typewriter terminal. The machine will then respond to the student's answers by typing its answers on the terminal. It will correct any wrong responses and provide additional background information, if necessary. "Commands" such as "calc" can be used to help answer difficult questions. Calc enables the computer to function as a calculator for figuring math computations. CAI has many advantages over traditional teaching methods. Its main advantage is that it meets the needs of both fast and slow learning students. "The student can control his own pace by how well he responds," Galosy said. The computer will give more background information for the student who is having trouble, Robert Holz, computer center director, added. In addition, the teacher has complete control of reinforcement and the necessary steps the student takes in learning new material, Galosy said. Statistics are gathered on the number of correct and incorrect responses, and the response time for each question asked. The instructor can use these statistics to evaluate and improve his course, Holz said. CAI is also beneficial for professions requiring much technical knowledge and memorization work, such as engineering or medicine, he said. The system has some drawbacks, however. The main problem is the length of time required to write a course. "It takes hours to develop one hour of instruction for a student," Holz said. This is due to the lack of textbooks available for CAI programming and language, he said. "Costs have been one of the biggest problems," Holz said, referring to another major disadvantage. A computer teaching 20 students is obviously more expensive than an instructor, and few schools can afford the cost, he said. "It costs $2,000 per year to run one typewriter terminal." Despite these drawbacks, the future looks promising for CAI. CAI courses are being developed at Western, including new math and how to find the area of a rectangle. In addition, a course in computer language is underway, and Dr. David Ziegler, assistant professor of political science, is using it for teaching a course. H o l z and Galosy are confident that more will be done in this area. There are presently ten typewriter terminals being used, and Holz hopes eventually to have additional terminals on other parts of campus, including the dormitories. The IBM 360 has a capacity to handle 50 terminals. "Strong use of CAI is only a few years off," Holz said. SEATTLE, Wash. — The Associated Students budget at the University of Washington is in hot water. Following the failure of guest speaker and concert performances during the first portion of the academic year, student government officials are cutting back almost every activity on campus due to lack of funds. The Special Events area of the ASUW program division has already lost approximately $20,000 of the $64,000 general program fund. Big name concerts and programs, including Bob Hope's homecoming visit, failed to attract sufficient paying students. Sophomores eligible for scholarship applications The financial aids office is now accepting applications for the Easter Seal Scholarship, the Oeser Cedar Scholarship, and the Whatcom County Medical Society (WCMS) Scholarship, Fran Titus of the financial aids office announced last week. The Easter Seal Scholarhsip is an award of $250 to one student who plans to work with the physically handicapped. Applicants must be in the upper 50 per cent of their class, Mrs. Titus said. The Oeser Cedar Scholarship of $750 is made to a technology major who plans to specialize in f o r e s t r y , wood products technology, industrial design or industrial graphics. The WCMS Scholarship is an award of $300 each to three or more students planning a career in the medical profession or para-medical field, Mrs. Titus said. All applicants must have completed their freshman year of.college work. Applications for each of the scholarships are due in the financial aids office by March 1, Mrs. Titus said. The communist threat struck noticeably closer to home last Saturday (Jan., 1949) when three University of Washington professors were released from their duties on the Seattle campus. Hopes have been expressed by members of the State Legislature that this will only be the beginning of a vigorous drive "to ferret out to what extent the boys and girls in America are being led down the road to communism by professors who are supposed to protect our way of life." The Russian newspaper Pravda called the firing of the professors a "repression of civil liberties." —from a campus editorial STORE WIDE CLEARANCE shoes, boots, sUyyers ^ % / % •3* Cosmetic Sale!

Representatives from federal agencies will be on hand throughout the day to discuss current and future federal career opportunities with students. Some of the agencies participating include: the forest service, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Navy. All students are invited and no appointments will be necessary. On t h e same day, representatives from the Bank of Hawaii will make their first recruiting visit to Western. They would like to interview seniors from Hawaii who are interested in banking careers in the Islands. Other students who are seriously considering living in Hawaii on a long-term basis may also apply. Qualified students can sign up for interview appointments in the placement office now. between clear despair and desperation, and even sometimes fear's perception, as never before! .. . And so . . . "I have discovered then how easy we can play, profoundly and harmfully, with our mind and deepest soul! . . . and even with the mind and soul of others too!" . . . 12. So .. . this has taught me then: "despair and desperation with truthful goals is very useful and constructive! . . . but the final despair and desperation: fear . . . is totally destructive! . . . to myself! and . . . to the others too!" . . . 13. But . . . I have not yet learned "to like and truthfully enjoy myself with more than one person" . . . It is shocking to me to run with many people — all together; in anything! neither schools, jobs, enjoyments, ideas, ideals nor goals of my own! . . . 14. I have not yet learned either "to kill anyone for someone else's ideas, ideals or . . . truths! . . . unless for ideas, ideals or truths of my own!" . . . 15. And lately, having been moved suddenly to a new world, a different world's language, I have learned it frequently by despair and desperation: "the unquestionable values of today so many, many languages to .. . communicate, to think, to love and hate each other: ISOLATION between the same animal species: earth's people!" . .. 16. From the world of my own I need to jump frequently to the people's world, the common world. "And so — practicing it for years, almost every day, I have learned to do it perfectly!" . . . 18. But . . . anyway, I know that . . . to survive '^better" . . . or .. . "more": "I must also learn too, to work— looking happy — without enjoyment!" . .. 19. And . .. "to wear more than one mask!" . . . 20. Moreover: "I know well that what I have learned is the best for my better future!" . . . 21. And . . . I still have my best and strongest belief and hope "for an effective and truthful COMMUNICATION AND BROTHERHOOD here, there and . . . anywhere! without exceptions!" . .. 22. So . . . I have learned "to tolerate and tolerate and . . . tolerate patiently, and without any complaints, almost everything! . . . from anyone!" . . . 23. Finally: I have learned truthfully, profoundly and strongly, the unquestionable main truth, at least for myself: "To do, to believe and to hope always the best for me! . . . and for you, my enemies! . . . and for you too, my friends!" . . . Western Players will entertain with Shakespeare comedy, satire Western Players' Winter quarter plays were cast last week. Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, directed by Dennis Catrell, is a comedy concerned with the tempering of justice and mercy, with bawdy women and disguised dukes added to increase the confusion and merriment. The play ends in a triple marriage. It will be presented Feb. 19-21 in the music auditorium. A newcomer to Western's stage, George Mead, will be playing Duke Vicentio. Angelo, the Duke's scrupulous deputy, will be Vaughn Mitchell. Claudio, a man threatened with death for adultery, will be Dan Fuller and his sister, Isabella, will be Jane Muirhead. M i s t r e s s Overdone, a prosperous woman of the night, will be Victoria Lyon, with Gregg Ross as Lucio. Dr. Byron Sigler will direct Elmer Rice's The Adding Machine, which will be presented March 5-8 in Old Main Theater. This expressionistic play presents a satirical and f r i g h t e n i n g vision of a mechanized society which is filled with types, rather than individuals. The cast includes: Mary Stolaas as Mrs. Zero, Linda Freeman as Daisy Devore and Cathy Wiseman as Judy O'Grady. The male roles had not been cast at press time.

Wilson Florists 1426 Cornwall 733-7630 Tuesday, January 13, 1970 Draft lottery fails all 1-A's eligible College Press Service "We're going to be breathing down the back of every individual available. I have no doubt that men with the number 366 will be drafted. "-Col. Arthur Holmes, State Director, Michigan Selective Service. WASHINGTON - President N i x o n accompanied the unveiling of the draft lottery with an announcement that those whose birthdays fell in the first third drawn (1-121) stood a "high probability" of being drafted in 1970, those in the second third (122-244) stood an "average probability" and those in the last third (245-366) stood a "relatively low probability." Today, little more than a month after the dates were picked in capsules from a bowl before a national television audience, even the National Selective Service Headquarters concedes Nixon's forecast was mistaken. "I doubt anyone with a 1-A classification is safe," says one national officer. "Men who are 1-A and are not drafted by December stand a good chance of not being drafted at all, but the possibilities are very slim that they can escape (from having their number come up)." Selective Service directors in several states have flatly predicted that they will reach all 366 numbers during the course of the year. Col. Holmes-in Michigan says his office has been scraping the bottom of the 1-A barrel for the past five years to meet induction quotas, and since the anticipated 1970 Michigan quota is 15,000—the same as past years—he sees little chance that any with 1-A classifications will escape the draft. Holmes says of students who plan to drop out of school to take their chances in this year's pool: "We'll welcome them into the pool. And we'll probably induct 'em." Col. Clifford Hall, Delaware Selective Service director, says his state will not only draft 19-26-year-olds classified 1-A; it will have to draft some 18^-19-year-olds. "With my knowledge of the 1970 draft call, I will have to tell local boards that they can go down the list to number 100, just for January," he says. Col. Byron Meaderx of New York State's Selective Service estimates that, "if our draft calls are at the levels of the last three years, we expect to exhaust all numbers from one to 366 . . . . by May or June," Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oklahoma and North Dakota also predict they will use up all lottery numbers during 1970. In addition, spokesmen for eight other states and the District of Columbia told an Associated Press survey that those with high lottery numbers are definitely not safe from conscription. 29 states said it was too early to make projections. State spokesmen in only four states—Alaska, Colorado, Kansas and Utah—say those with high lottery numbers are unlikely to be called. The variance in the projected manpower needs of different states raises questions as to the methods employed by the National Selective Service Headquarters to meet the national draft quotas. According to Capt. William Pascoe, chief information officer for the Selective Service, each month each local board compiles a "report of availability" that gives the number of physically and mentally qualified 1-A men in its jurisdiction. The report is sent to the state office, which formulates a state report. The national office receives all the state reports, and assigns a percentage to each of the 50 states plus Washington, D.C., Guam, the Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and New York City. The percentage represents the number of qualified 1-A men living in that state as opposed to the national total. The state and local quotas are established as follows, explains Pascoe: "Say for a particular month Maryland has 1.9 per cent of the 1-A's and the national call that month was for 20,000 men. 1.9 Smoking pot in Haggard Hall causes much alarm Six units of the Bellingham Fire Department, including a ladder truck, responded to a fire alarm at approximately 8:45 a.m. last Thursday in Haggard Hall. An electric coffee pot in a faculty lounge short circuited Channel Master cassette tape recorder, battery and A.C., booksized, recording time up to 2 hours causing the small fire. No damage was reported. COMPLETE LAUNDRY AND'DRY CLEANING per cent of 20,000 is 392, so that number of inductees would have to come from Maryland. Maryland has 66 local boards. Say board 10 has 2.83 per cent of all the 1-A's; then it would be called upon to supply 2.83 per cent of 392." Pascoe says if it turns out that one local board is drafting a middle lottery number while another is drafting a low number, it will be due mainly to three variables; the number and distribution of volunteers, number of deferments, and chance geographical distribution of birthdays. There are more than 4,000 local boards, each of them in an area w i t h a d i f f e r e n t socio-economic make-up, he says, and a board in an affluent area might be calling high numbers ahead of most other boards because many youths who otherwise might be drafted are able to afford college. A state director, he says, is empowered to maintain evenness in the calling of lottery numbers b y withholding the assignment of a quota to a board that is using up the numbers faster than other boards. In North Dakota, one local board was found to have 294 as the lowest lottery number. Those states, along with Utah and California, are reported to have decided tentatively on systems of evening out the calling of numbers. If those with low numbers enlist in the Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard or Coast Goard to "make the best of their military experience," Pascoe says, the higher lottery numbers will be reached sooner. Similarly, if some with high lottery numbers who were planning to enlist reverse their decisions because they think they're fairly immune from being drafted, the vacuum in military personnel will have to be made up by draftees. refusing induction are up. Draft resistance is currently the fourth largest crime in the U.S.; nearly 10 per cent of all federal court cases involve the Selective Service. All this diminishes the possibility that a person with a high lottery number will avoid the draft. But the single most important variable is the Vietnam war. If it is escalated—and Vice-President Agnew said his New Year's Resolution is to "Win the War"—then no one is safe. It if is toned down, then 1970's projected military manpower needs of 225,000 men may be decreased. The number of inductions for the last nine years reflect to a g r e a t e x t e n t t h e U.S. commitment in Vietnam: 1960- 86,602 1961-118,586 1962- 82,060 1963-119,265 1964-112,386 1965-230,991 1966-382,010 1967-228,263 1968-296,406 1969-265,000 Only President Nixon, who controls the scale of the war, can really tell what draft prospects the future holds—not your local draft board. Pascoe says that in light of the variables, students shouldn't drop out of school to gain entrance to this year's pool. A recent Selective Service decision makes it mandatory for a full-time student to be classified 2-S, so it is necessary for a student to drop out of school to receive a 1-A classification. There are other "variables." The re-enlistment rate in all services is down, and the absence-without-leave rate, desertion rate, number of people leaving for Canada and number of people going to prison for PLUTO'S W E L C O M E S A L L W W S C STUDENTS HELP FIGHT INFLATION DON'T BE FOOLED BY PRICE CHANGES PLUTO'S STILL GIVES MORE FOR LESS 2 FOR 1 LADIES NIGHT 7:00—9:00 WEDNESDAY NIGHT- FT— Pickup & Delivery 734-4200 PITCHER SPECIAL 8:30-12:30 2 FOR 1 6:00—9:00 SUNDAYS FRIDAY, S A T U R D A Y NIGHT Schauffer Jewelers 1304 Cornwall Ave. LIVE M U S I C B Y T H E RUBBER B A N D 205 PROSPECT 9 The beauty of Bellingham Bay is accented by the sun setting over the San Juan islands. -photo by shoblom TUESDAY- 11a j Skirt Service Western Front 1211 11th. 7 3 3 - 9 9 2 9 OPEN A T 4:00 M O N . - S A T . 2:00 O N S U N . .\ .[ \ l i > l i i ' 10 Western Front Tuesday, January 13, 1970 Viks drop Whitworth twice; get fifth straight win Western's red-hot roundballers swept two games last weekend, defeating the Whitworth Pirates 64-57 and 88-58 at Carver gym. The victories were the fourth and fifth straight for the high-flying Vikings, placing their overall record at 6-3, tying for the Evergreen Conference lead with Central Washington at 2-0, who defeated Eastern twice. The Big Blue howitzers opened up Saturday night after "hunt and pecking" the Pirates to defeat Friday. Viking shooters hit an excellent 58 per cent the first half to take a 46-27 lead. Finishing with 45 per cent from the floor, the Viks hit 22 of 26 free throws for 85 per cent and outrebounded the taller Pirates 58 to 38. No less than eleven Viks got into the scoring column with Jeff Sherburne leading the way with 15. Others in double figures were John Reed 13, Neal Larson 12 and Mike Clayton 11. Lee Roy Shults led all rebounders with 12. Shults was the Viking "man of the hour" Friday as he dumped in 20 points and pulled down 15 rebounds. The burly junior from Vancouver, Wash., hit 10 of 20 field goal attempts in the 64-57 triumph. Clayton with 13 points and Reed with 11 were other top scorers. Western's famed defense was the key to victory as the Pirates, closely checked, hit only 30 per cent from the field, both nights. W h i t w o r t h forward Ted Hiemstra was the only Pirate to score consistently, putting in 18 the first night and 20 the second. Interesting to note was that the Vikings trailed Whitworth only for five seconds both nights. Next action for Coach Chuck Randall's squad is this weekend in Spokane against the tough Eastern Washington "Savages."

Guard Mike Clayton led all scorers with 27 points while forward Lee Roy Shults scored 15 and had 17 rebounds. Highlighting the victory surge was the winning of the Turlock Invitiational at Turlock, Calif. Western adapted well to the climate of the sunny south. Against host Stanislaus State in the opening round of the two-night, four-team tourney, the Vikings romped to a 103-73 victory. It marked only the third time in Coach Chuck Randall's eight years on the hill that his team had gone over the century mark in scoring. Against powerful St. Mary's of Moraga, Calif, the Viks "cooled off to a field goal accuracy of 51 per cent in taking the championship game 83-78. It was St. Mary's who lost to Duquesne, nationally ranked earlier in the year, by only four points. The pressure filled game saw the lead change hands several times before guard Jeff Sherburne came off the bench to put the Viks ahead to stay. The senior from Pocatello, Idaho, scored 22 points, hitting nine of 14 field goal attempts. Clayton had 17 points, center John Reed, 12 and Shults, 11. Clayton and Sherburne were named to the All-Tournament team as tourney sponsors the Turlock Jaycees awarded the Viks with a handsome team trophy and individual awards.

Intramural basketball begins this week, heading the Winter intramural sports program. Intramural basketball will consist of round robin play. Teams will be put into leagues according to ability. The "A" league, for example, will be composed of the better teams. There will probably be four leagues. The top two teams from each league will compete in the All-college basketball tournament at the end of the season. National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball rules will apply in all cases with the exception of time. A game will consist of two 20-minute halves with a five minute intermission at halftime. Winter sports, wrestling and swimming, will be held later in the quarter. Wrestling competition will be conducted in the following weights: 127, 137, 147, 157, 167, 177, 191 and heavyweight. A team consists of at least four men. NCAA wrestling rules will apply in all cases with the exception of time. A match will consist of threy one-minute rounds. Intramural swimming competition will consist of the following events: 50-yard freestyle, 75-yard backstroke, 75-yard breaststroke, 75-yard medley (breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle), 200-yard freestyle and the 200-yard relay. Four men compose a team which will compete for the All-college championship. Central tops Eastern twice Central's defending Evco champ Wildcats kept pace with Western's two victories over Whit worth, by easily defeating Eastern twice, 81-68 on Friday and 82-65 on Saturday. Leading Central in the Friday game was Paul Adams with 19 points, with Dave Allen scoring 17 and Mitch Adams adding 13. Leading Eastern were Steve Barnett and Duane Barnette with 15 points each. Saturday, Central notched its tenth victory in 11 games, leading 38-30 at the half. Joe LaDuca led the Wildcat scoring with 21 points, while the Adams brothers, Paul and Mitch, added 15 and 14 points respectively. Steve Barnett led Eastern with 13 points.

The Savages are three and seven for the season, but this is not indicative of Eastern's type of play. The Savages have played a tough schedule so far, having competed against such powers as the University of Montana, the University of Puget Sound, and having participated in the Fresno Holiday Classics and the Granite City tourney, where they played several powerful teams. The Vikings who play a more deliberate style of basketball will face a team that likes to run. The Savages, who led the Evergreen Conference in scoring last season, are led by 6-5 Steve Barnett, a 230-pound junior. Barnett was Eastern's leading scorer against Central last weekend tallying 28 points in two games. The key to Eastern's running game, is its strong rebounding duo of Al Gale and Dave Pounds.

HERE'S A SAMPLING OF REMARKS FROM THE ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY: " . . . SORROWFUL MASOCHISM . . . WHERE ONE SEEKS TO LOSE HIMSELF IN THE MANIPULATION OF SYMBOLS." . . . AND ANOTHER, "ANY READING OF HISTORY WILL INDICATE THAT A The Hoop Scoop PAUL MADISON Early this season an onlooker after witnessing Western's 58-55 loss to Simon Fraser made a comment something to the effect of, "That team played worse than a high school squad. In fact they played like grammer school kids." Such an opinion at that time was commonplace and many were even worse. But now things have changed. The Viks have won five straight ballgames, the last two over a highly touted Whitworth five and are currently tied for the conference lead with Central. What has happened to grammer school basketball? First of all, winning. Winning begets winning and after coming back to defeat Simon Fraser 5249 at Vancouver, B.C. a change came over the Vikings. They had tasted victory and wanted more. Another thing is the heart and desire this team possesses. They can't be kept down and if these terms aren't easily comprehended come to a ballgame and they'll be defined on the floor. Also a big factor for this season's squad is that of a strong bench. Sitting next to coach Chuck Randall are substitutes capable of doing just as good a job and many times a better one than the starting five. Such a situation keeps everyone on their toes and doesn't let an opponent physically wear the Viks down near the end of a game. Thus three reasons for Western's surge, but there is yet another. Each and every player on the Viking squad has only one goal in mind, that of going all the way. They won't have any part of just breaking even. That was proven in part last Saturday night when they didn't let down after winning Friday, instead they came on even stronger. Hat's off to a gutty ballclub.

Friday isabsolutely the last day for students to turn in applications. After Friday, students can only be write-incandidates for the elections which will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 2 in the VU lounge. "If peopledon't want to get involved they are going to have to shut-up and take what comes," Miss Denton said.She urges students to either run for one of the 13 positions or talk others into running. The faculty andadministration have been much more responsive in applying for positions on the senate, she said. Thelow student response is partially due to poor education or non-interest of Candidates to speak heretonight By KEM AKERS students, Miss Denton believes. The positions opened for students by areaconcentration are: â€”Physical Education â€”Language Arts â€”Science/Mathematics â€”Fine andApplied Arts â€”Education â€”Fairhaveh College â€”Graduate Students â€”Huxley College â€”EthnicStudies College Two students will be needed in social studies and/or at-large senators. The senate willbring students, faculty, administration and staff into one governing body for discussion and decision onmajor issues. For applications and further information, contact the associated students office on the topfloor of the Viking Union. Will students take a part? Candidates for the office of mayor and city councilpositions will be speaking in the VU lounge tonight; but according to social issues chairman DeanPowers, most students couldn't care less. "I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that manystudents at Western are tremendously involved only with themselves," Powers said. Powers is upset bythe fact that students, having clamored for a part in the political process, are no longer interested in thatprocess now that they have won that part. Powers bitterly pointed out that a similar forum featuring David Hughes talking on campaign reform drew a total attendance of nine last Thursday, while a recent talk onthe existence of the Sasquatch drew a crowd of more than 150 persons. "To put it simply, but I thinkaccurately, they (the students) don't give a good goddamn about the problems of society, but merelydecry a system that is charged with not caring about people. But how can the system care about people if the people don't care about the system?" Powers said that his concern was to excite and involvestudents and to combat apathy. "What do the students do besides drink, dance and party?" he asked.Among the issues likely to be discussed at tonight's forum will be the pollution of Bellingham Bay, thebringing in of industry and the expansion of the city, as well as the candidates' attitudes toward youthand the college. "All of these are issues important to Western students," Powers said. "At this point, allwe can do is try to make the system open for inspection which is the purpose of the forum," Powerssaid. "After that, it's up to every person to ask "Do I care?" The forum will be at 7:30 tonight in the V.U.lounge.

Nov. 3 has been set aside as the student strikeday, leading up to the national moratorium on Nov. 6. Tentative activities at Western include guerrillatheatre, films, music and speakers. The idea is to provide an alternative to school and to direct attention to the regional march in Seattle on Nov. 6. People wanting to help with the activities can contact TomBrose at Fairhaven (3697). Standards are maintained despite low enrollment By JAN HOESLY EugeneOmey, director of admissions, said that Western did not lower its standards of admission despite theadministration's concern that fall enrollment would be too low for the budget set by the State Legislature. Omey said that instead of lowering the required grade point average as was done in a few collegesthroughout the state, Western extended the deadline for admissions past the normal Aug. 1 date to Sept. 20 for new students and until school started for returning students. "We adhered to the same procedures used before, the ones that have been in effect since 1962," Omey said. "The only change was in theextension of the date and some publicity that Western was still open for applications." Transfer studentsstill were expected to maintain a 2.0 g.p.a. to receive admission to Western. Omey didn't think that anymore exceptions than usual were made to allow for those students whose applications were not up tothe standards set for admittance. "Western has not lowered its standard of education to encouragestudents to come and despite this, we have still come within spittin' distance of our projected enrollmentfor this semester," Omey concluded. Volunteers being recruited for shoreline protection The WhatcomCounty Planning Office is looking for student volunteers for research concerning the new shorelinemanagement law. Whatcom County under the law will stress preservation rather than conservation of the county's larger freshwater beaches as well as the saltwater shoreline. The county faces the problem,however, of being unable to complete the vast amount of research and field study necessary to develop a coordinated plan for the set of new land use regulations. There are approximately 30 jobs to be done,including taking inventory on wildlife, geology, water quality and property ownership and plotting data onmaps. "This is where I think the students can come in," Roger Almskaar of the Whatcom CountyPlanning Office said. "I'm sure that many students have science projects due which their professorswould be glad to see them use as ecology-related research. This also would be of great assistance to our office and a contribution to the protection of our shoreline," Almskaar said. Those considering assistingthe program should get in touch with either Roger Almskaar or David Cunningham of the planning officeon the second floor of the Courthouse. Students interested in receiving credit for the work are urged tocontact an instructor or advisor in the science department. With the proper organization students mayreceive credit under the new work-credit program for work done independently of classes. Wash PIRGmeeting today, Thursday An organizational meeting of the Washington Public Interest Research Group(WashPIRG) will be held today at 4 p.m. in the VU lounge. Several Western students went to Ellensburg last weekend to a state organizational meeting about WashPIRG to help prepare for this meeting. BrentEnglish, a Ralph Nader representative, will speak Thursday at 12 noon in the VU lounge on the conceptof PIRG. Handicapped meet tonight The Handicapped Students Union will meet at 8 p.m. in VU 363.Guest speaker will be College Architect Robert Aegerter who will talk about college improvement forhandicapped students. ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 19 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, October 19, 1971 Western Front Demo believes Campaign spending reform needed By SUEGAWRYS David Hughes, a Democrat who was defeated in the Congressional race against Tom Pelly(First District Rep.) last year, said that less than half of the legislators in Washington State are honestconcerning campaign funds. Hughes, heading a drive to reform campaign spending, spoke last Thursday to a small group about the need to change from a loose system of campaign finance reporting to a moredetailed system. "The idea of choosing one's leaders is a grand idea and in America we're getting a little away from it because of campaign finance spending," Hughes said. He cited numerous examples ofelected officials flaunting the rule of reporting expenditures. "Too often state legislators are proteges ofspecial interest groups," he said. Because the legislators are too tied up in special interests to pass any reforms, Hughes said, he decided to take an initiative to the people. His plan calls for the following:â€”establishment of a campaign bank. â€”all campaign contributions must be deposited in the bank andall expenditures -must be written through the bankc â€”all contributions must have the name andaddress of the contributer. â€”the bank will allow anyone to examine any candidate's account eachFriday.. â€”the bank would operate year-round for candidates that collect money year-round â€”anyelected official making over $1,000 or any candidate receiving $500 must report each source of income.â€”radio and TV advertising of less than five minutes would be banned . â€”newspaper advertising of lessthan 50 words would be banned (must contain more than the names and addresses of supporters),â€”candidates must appear together twice publicly during the campaign, - â€”any citizen can complainand receive action on his complaint within 20 days and no official involved can be certified until thecomplaint is cleared. "What we're objecting to is the hidden nature of the campaign funding," he said."The people of the state have a right to know who's spending what for whom," he added. The proposalwill have to be put into initiative form, then put on petitions. After that, it can be put on the November1972 ballot. Hughes has no doubts that the initiative will be approved and he thinks that the politicianswill support it. Hughes hedged about whether he would run again. "In America, you have to be rich oracceptable to the rich to run for office," he said. He emphasized that he didn't want to close any optionsin the future, however. New minority dean has much work to do By WALT ENDICOTT Spending a halfhour with Joseph Bowman, the new assistant dean of students for Minority Affairs, made one thingobvious: he's a very busy man. "Things have been pretty hectic around here so far," he said. "I arrived inBellingham just before the quarter started, so I've had to get hip to everything real quick." As the dean ofall the minority students, the 22-year-old Bowman plans on concentrating his work in four main areas:tutorial, advice-counsel, recruitment and job placement. "Everything is in the embryonic stage right nowand we've still got a lot of work to do," he added, as he handed out some forms to students standingaround in his over-populated office. "Trying to assimilate to White standards is a big problem facing many of the minority students, and I'd like to help make their living here at Western an experience they canrelate to and survive in. "In high school many students are simply pushed through and when they arriveat college they have to fill a gap, rather than bridge one. They need help and college is the last stop in life where they can get it." Bowman cited the Project Overcome program as an example of this kind."These students are officially listed as educationally disadvantaged, I consider them educationallycheated." The informality around the office can be-attributed to Bowman's concern with personal identity. "We try and get to know each person by their name, with no one becoming just another number," hesaid. Although he received his degree in health education from the University of Oregon, Bowman worked a lot with disadvantaged students in his last two years at the university as a member of Project 75, aminority program for Black students. "I plan on staying here for three or four years at least in order toaccomplish the things that heed to be done just in setting up the office," he explained. Questioned onhis reaction to his new job, he said, "It's been challenging but fun." Then he added, "I like the job, but notthe weather." Western rolls along despite financial squeeze The economic squeeze is such thatWestern will have just enough money to "keep the wheels turning," according to Jack Cooley, assistantto the business manager. Although state funds are down almost $2 million from last year's figure of$13,185,000, the college is expected to maintain the same level of operation, according to Cooley."Local" funds (tuition, fees and other college-generated revenue) were up slightly from last year, yet wereoffset by regular operating costs "going up. Phone rates, mail, utilities and other expenses are rising,Cooley said. Steps to streamline the budget include a 5 per cent cut in the budgets of all areas of thecollege. In addition, personnel cuts and voluntary leaves of absense will be used to trim operating costs."Several people have already volunteered to take a couple of months off without pay," Cooley said. To"illustrate the lean times, the budget for student publications has been cut some $7,500, down from anoriginal sum of $65,000. Western is in danger of having to give back $407,000 if enrollment doesn't match state projections, Cooley said, but the early figures look fairly close. "Western now doesn't have theflexibility to expand its academic program because of the budget cuts. Things don't look as happy around here as they used to," Cooley said. JOE BOWMAN Rufus Jones School offers alternative educationBy DAN TOLVA For many students, education is a J1 matter of being stuffed full of someone else'smisconceptions and then spitting them out when the instructor presses the "READ-OUT" button. Theyare filled full of dead facts, dead figures and dead formulas with which to deal with life. For the 25students of Rufus Jones School, education is a mixture of life and learning built on mutual respectbetween student and teacher. "We are not a 'free' school as some people think," said Rosemary Harris,who, with her husband Howard, founded the school in Bellingham five years ago. "We try to encouragean unspoken discipline based on mutual respect. As teachers, we are guides and protectors to thechildren," she said. School is held in and around an old white house located at 438 21st St. The yard islarge and overgrown with bushes and trees. Dogs, cats, hens and roosters skitter about the tall grass,staying clear of an occasional band of kids playing hide-'n-go-seek. Inside, students taking a Frenchclass are draped over the furniture in the living room, while smaller children are happily making ashambles of the kitchen. There is order and discipline without the usual regimentation. Rufus JonesSchool offers the traditional courses, French, math, history and writing. High-school-age students areallowed to write much of their own curriculum. Our students have no problems if they wish to entercollege," Mrs. Harris pointed out. The school is divided into three (CONTINUED ON PAGE 7) The RufusJones, located at 438 2lst^provides an alternative to traditional education. Its 25 students, ranging fromage 3 to 18, learn in an atmosphere based on mutual respect between teacher and student, flexibility inscheduling and development of the Spirit.

'To comfort (he afflicted and to afflict thecomforted' Apathy or no Students appear to be either confused fc^y the many positions open to them instudent and college government or hopelessly apathetic. Barring the possibility that the students justdon't care (though that seems to be the more likely cause) then the problem must be communication.For those students who want a place in college government there are still numerous positions completely open (and all are open to nomination). If the new all-college government is to become effective,studentsare going to have to take a part. See the front page article on all college government to find out where toapply. For students who want to be more directly concerned with student affairs several possibilitiespresent themselves at UGN campaign Say, did you hear about the community of 9,500 that donated$42, yes folks that's right, $42, to the UGN campaign last year? Imagine, 9,500 generous soulsgraciously donated 42 whole American dollars. Why that breaks down to less than half a cent donationper person. Damn, more money than that is lost as loose change on campus every single day. As wesee it, Western has only one direction to go in this year's UGN campaign and that is to make up for thelack of donations last year. this time. There are openings on the intermediary and all college judiciaryboards that need to be filled. Hurry because this is the last day. Inquire at the dean of students' office inOld Main. For freshmen who want to be involved there is a position on the AS Legislature that isspecifically designated as a freshman position. Nominations and applications are now being taken at theAS offices on the top floor of the Viking Union. For students who may have a particular interest in thestudent services there is certainly room for volunteers in such areas as sex information and druginformation. Don't be bashful about taking a part in student affairs. If you have ideas and/or time tocontribute check with your AS president or other AS officers. â€”Ron Graham Whether you know it ornot, the UGN does help to support many charitable and service organizations here in the county, andthis year they will be aiding the Whatcom County Crisis Clinic. As the UGN information guide says, ". . . this year's pledge might even help in meeting and solving an unexpected crisis affecting you and yours." It seems to us that one can't expect to solve many unexpected crises with half cent donations. Dig!(deeper).

If passed, the bond issue would pay for construction of a $660,000 senior activities center to be centrally located in Bellingham. The center will provide continuous social recreation and healthservices for the area's senior citizens. It would also provide for satellite senior activity centers located inother county communitiesâ€”Lynden, Blaine, Everson, Ferndale and Sumas. Of the bond issue funds,$1,230,000 would be used to acquire new park lands along county rivers, lakes and salt water areas.Land would also be purchased in and around the county's growing towns and cities to provide theseareas with public parks. An additional $1,460,000 would be used to develop existing park areas. Portage Island would be developed for saltwater park use. According to Mel Davidson of the physics department, who is working for passage of the bond issue, the county could receive up to 70 per cent in federal andstate matching funds for the project. If the issue is passed, Davidson pointed out, it would cost theaverage county family approximately 50 cents per month or an additional $2 per $100 of taxes eachyear.

Reply to dance letter Dear Editor: In reply to a letter of Oct. 12concerning dances. The question has been raised "why aren't people let in free after a certain time at the dances." There is only one reason for the "closed door" policy. Band contracts based on a percentagehave become quite frequent. In this way we can obtain good groups for relatively low prices. But, thecontracts stipulate the admission fee. By letting people in after a certain time, we would be bothbreaking the contract and cheating the band. Unfortunately, the question of profit doesn't enter into it.'The last dance, our "best" profit-wise, lost over :$65. The only security people inside the dance are thefour students who watch the doors. They are to open them in case of emergency and help direct peopleto the proper exit and entrance. They are also there to stop any disturbances. Let me assure you thatthere have been incidents this year in which the students at the dance were spared some inconvenience because of the doormen. If there are any further questions, please feel free to see me. The ProgramCommission is located in VU 201. Bill Kalenius Dances the doctor's bag Question: My ex-boyfriendrecently forced his attention on me in spite of the fact that I told him I was a virgin. When he was through with me, he stated that I couldn't have been a virgin because "it went in too easy" and I didn't bleed. Itwas my body and I know that I never had previous sexual relations. Please clarify this because hehonestly believes I'm a loose woman. I'm writing this the day after it happened, but are there any veryearly signs of pregnancy? I seem to feel sick to my stomach. Answer: Very sadly, situations such asthe one you describe happen frequently, and I for one have a difficult time distinguishing such an eventfrom rape. In addition to being grossly selfish your ex-boyfriend is also ignorant of some basic sexualfacts. Ease of intercourse the first time and an absense of bleeding are no indication of a lack of virginity. A woman has the right not to have intercourse unless she wants to and this should be unrelated towhether or not she is a virgin. Rather than hide behind technicalities, she should be prepared to takedrastic measures to insure her basic human rights. It is too early to tell if you are pregnant now, but itsounds as if the way you feel may be related to the upsetting experience you had. In suchcircumstances, you may miss your next menstrual period without being pregnant; instead of becomingpanicked if you have not had a period in another month, you might visit a physician whom you know. Inthe meantime^ if you remain upset f very much longer, it would be wise By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D.Address letters to Dr. Arnold Werner, Box 974, East Lansing, Michigan, 48823. for you to talk this outwith someone so that this experience does not jeopardize future relationships with men. Your ex-boyfriend sounds like he needs professional help. Questions campus interests Dear Editor, I pose aquestion. Why will more than 150 people attend a lecture on "Sasquatch Theory" (Tues.)', 600 pay $2.00 each for a concert and nine (9) people bother to attend a lecture at which a former .congressionalcandidate from Seattle talks on the need for reform of campaign laws in the state and the way we electpublic officials. I seriously question the priorities and concerns of the campus community as a whole.Confronted with an opportunity to listen to a systematic delineation of the reforms needed to make ourpolitical system more responsive, roughly 1 out of 1,000 students on this campus were interested,enough to attend. On the basis of this information, it seems not unfair t o conclude that theoverwhelming majority of students here are quite satisfied with our political system and their status in it.And I think that says quite a lot about the privileged position that we occupy in society and our concernwith those who are not so privileged.

W. "Bill" McDonald, dean of students. The candidates will be picked at random by a committee, as defined in the Navigator, the student guidebook. Anyone interested should fill outand turn in an application blank to the dean's office in Old Main TODAY. Appeals and suspensions arehandled by the all-college judiciary board. No student has been suspended from Western since the board came into effect in its present state two years ago. Suspensions have been recommended to the board, but none have ever been passed. Apparently the board believes a student should learn, not lose, by hismistakes. Disciplinary procedure should be educative in nature rather than just punitive, McDonald said.According to Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, the intermediate court takes in approximately10 cases a quarter. The usual procedure in taking a case to court is to approach the dean with the case.The associate deans will then set up the case, and it will be presented in court. To guarantee a studentvoice in thematter, soon graduate students interested in the field of law will take a large part in helpingthe associate deans set up the cases coming before the board. A defendant can plead his own case,provide witnesses and cross-examine his accuser., The Intermediate Court handles all of the caseswhich aren't taken care of by the residential hall "J" boards. Some cases, such as those concerningthings like assault or the sale of narcotics can be handled by a civil court, depending upon whom theplaintiff wishes to approach. This objectivity of the court will reflect the caliber of people on the boards.The kind of people Bill McDonald urges to sign up today are those seeking "real involvement" in campusjustice. McDonald and a good many others feel that, with the right people, without a doubt "students canhandle their own disciplinary problems." Campus briefs Contraceptive controversy Questions arose from the "Horror Items Needed" article that was published in last Friday's Front. Contraceptive were listed asproducts that could distort women's bodies. Esther Helfgott of the Women's Commission said "We don'tmean that women should not use contraceptives, we are talking of the experimental use of poor non-white women in other countries and the welfare women here, that have unknowingly been taking newforms of birth control that have not been thoroughly tested as safe." Volunteers needed Don Berg,director of the Whatcom County Mental Health Clinic will be on campus at 4 p.m. this Thursday in MillerHall 163 to talk about the clinic and to solicit the aid of students in getting Proposition 1 passed.Proposition 1 would provide $185,000 in local funds and $400,000 in state and federal matching funds forthe construction of a new clinic building. Bob Marx of the psychology department, said that 100 students working 4 to 6 hours each on the project could help explain the clinic to the community. "This projectoffers students the potential to get involved in their community," Marx explained.

Fairhaven News By BILL DIETRICH High noon draws near for both dog lovers and dog haters at Fairhaven. Ultimatums against mongrels have been posted, and ifthe dogs don't vacate the circle of concrete cubicles soon, taking their droppings with them, theauthorities will be called. Or so it has been threatened. Plans for winter quarter are already under way at the cluster college, fall quarter apparently being resigned to fate. An interesting proposal was madethat winter quarter be divided into four two-week sessions for Fairhaven students, each session to beused for concentrated study on one subject. A fifth two-week session, somewhere in the middle of thequarter, would be used as an extra vacation. The latter idea seemed to generate the most enthusiasmand the general plan is being given strong consideration, despite problems in trying to fit nuisances likeWestern classes into the scheme. The final decision to adopt or drop the plan will be made by theFairhaven Policy Board and the community in general. Also along winter-quarter lines is a proposedEconomics Teach-In. Has Nixon failed to make his economic policies "perfectly clear" to you? Then you might consider" reserving February or thereabouts for a proposed Fairhaven Teach-in that will explorethe woes, why-fors and whithers of our wheezing economy. Pertinent details on this are still unknown.**** Stranger than SAGA: It's a fact, Fairhaven students eat proportionately more than Westernstudents at the Viking Commons. Twice as many eggs per person, on an average, is an example. Or sosays Roger Ghick, the SAGA manager at Fairhaven. Roger attributes the greater food consumption to a proportionately greater number of freshmen at Fairhaven. It seems freshmen always eat a greateramount of SAGA food when they first come to school, but after a quarter or so their appetitemysteriously drops off. And speaking of SAGA, here's an interesting quote from Fairhaven's dailybulletin, author unknown: "The SAGA manager's idea , of health food is meat and 'potatoes:'* â€¢ ' ' ' gt; ' Â» â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ ' i â€¢ gt;â€¢ lt; ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 19 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, October 19, 1971 Rufus Jones School offers alternative Developing the human being Photo byJim Thomson (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3) groups; the younger group from ages 3 to 7, the middlegroup from ages 8 to 13 and the older group from 14 to 18 years old. To the Harris', education is asmuch spiritual growth as intellectual growth. Their philosophy places the emphasis on the influence ofthe "spirit" in developing the human being. "Respect, love, dignity, all these wonderful things couldn't beaccomplished without the Spirit," Mrs. Harris said. "The Spirit comes upon us because we realize thatwe are not fully capable in and of ourselves," she continued. "Our teachers try to realize that they'redealing with human beings, whether they're 4, 14 or 40. "Learning is a spiritual thing. We want a schoolwhere a child finds learning a joy," Mrs. Harris said. Rufus Jones School is a family effort. HowardHarris, of the sociology-anthropology department at Western, spends time teaching at the school. Mrs.Harris administrates, teaches, counsels and otherwise keeps the school going. Their children Heather,Holly, David and Stephen, help out as the situation demands. Scheduling is flexible. An interest in oilpainting was so immediate that a special class was set up. This could happen at anytime, depending onthe interests of the students. In another instance, several younger students abandoned their teacher and the project at hand and rushed outside. "Somebody found some robin's eggs outside and that's muchmore important," their teacher said. Students are encouraged to be independent but not to the point of .hurting others. If a student disrupts a group, a teacher explains to him why his action hurts others. Theexplanation is usually accompanied by a friendly arm around the shoulders. At all times the student istreated as a human being. Teachers at the school are chosen on the 'basis of more than scholasticaccomplishment. "We like to find teachers with an appreciation for the spiritual; an aspiration to spiritualgrowth and fulfillment," Mrs. Harris said. A mother with two daughters at the school was critical ofregular public school involvement. She illustrated her viewpoint with a story. She pictured an art classwith the instructor asking the students to paint an apple. "How does she expect 35 kids to paint thesame apple she sees?" the mother asked. "What if she wants to paint a perfect apple and I want to paint a rotten one?" "I don't see how they can try to mold 35 children. I don't like it," she said. She found analternative for her children in Rufus Jones School. Her girls are in an environment that doesn't "mold"them but educates and enriches them. 12-credit English class will be team taught By JACKIELAWSON An experiment in learning will be tried for the first time winter quarter, as three Englishprofessors will team-teach a 12-credit course dealing with such authors as Spenser, Donne, Pope,Shakespeare, Swift, Dryden and Milton. Listed as English 397 in the catalog, the course is titled"Classical through Baroque, through neo-classical" and will be taught by George Muldrow, MarjorieDonker, and Marjorie Ryan. According to Mrs. Donker, the"English quarter" will be a total immersion inliterature from the years 1400 to 1800, encompassing prose, poetry and plays. The course will involve avariety of approaches and will meet twice daily, four days a week for 90 minutes. The range of scope willbe lectures, discussions, group panels and individual work. The primary emphasis will be on the worksstudied and unscheduled class hours would be built into the course for student input, in the form ofreaction, discussion and a critique of the course. The only homework, per se, will be three short outsidepapers on the readings and occasional writing in class. The bulk of the work will occur inside theclassroom. According to Muldrow, the course offers two advantages to the student: the first is theopportunity for intensive study of a particular period in literature and the second is the opportunity forstudents and professors alike to get to know each other on a personal.basis. Mrs. Ryan will specificallycover the 18th century, while Mrs. Donker and Muldrow will cover the Renaissance period in depth. Thisis not to say that all three professors will not share-the lecture topics equally. "We hope the teamexperience, from the teaching point of view, is not an unseemly wrangle. Students should have theexperience of differing points of view on the same material," Mrs. Donker said. Because the course isoffered as a 12-credit block, students are advised not to attempt taking other classes during winterquarter. A three-credit conference course is available to students if they wish to supplement the blockcourse. If a student is in the teacher education program, the 397 course will satisfy all the Britishliterature requirements for graduation. A student in the arts and sciences program will satisfy three of thefour required British literature courses by taking the course. Students interested in the course prior towinter registration should go to either Mrs. Donker, Mrs. Ryan or Muldrow in the Humanities Building,where a class card will be reserved upon request. "Students will be heavily involved in the course. Areading list will be available in the English department Oct. 20," Mrs. Donker said.

The mildclimate provides a great variety of edible mushrooms for those willing to look for them. The backwoodsgourmet and those who just want to add a little free variety to meals can find good picking in and nearBellingham, from lawns and roadsides to Cornwall Park. Technically speaking, all mushrooms are fungiand not all edible fungi are mushrooms. Mushroom is a blanket term for all common edible fungi. Morethan 3,000 kinds of mushroom flora are found in the United States and the list is not complete. To thededicated mycologist who studies mushrooms and fungi, finding a new mushroom includes the honor ofhaving it named after him. A mushroom is a fungi, a plant that does not depend on photosynthesis as do green plants. Fungi derive their energy from the breakdown of dead organic matter, in a sense they arenature's original recycling plants. Most people have never seen a mushroom plant. The part commonlyknown as the mushroom is merely the fruit, the plant that produces this fruit is a web of fine threadsknown as the spawn or mycelium. It is this spawn that carries on the main life processes of themushroom. Unlike higher plants, the mushroom reproduces by spores. Of the millions of sporesproduced by one mushroom, only a very few ever fall in places suitable for germination. Because the part of the mushroom visible is merely the fruit, picking mushrooms has no effect on future crops. With luck,the same wild mushrooms can be harvested year after year. Most mushrooms are quite specialized totheir particular environment. The mushroom hunter will expect to find the mushrooms in a stand of maple trees to be different from those in a grove of pine trees. The best way for a beginner to go hunting foredible mushrooms is to go hunting with someone who knows which mushrooms are edible. The secondbest way is to buy or borrow a field guide to edible mushrooms and trust only those plants that can bepositively identified. A good rule is not to mix mushrooms when collecting them for the table, a poisonous one could contaminate the entire collection. Eat only mushrooms that are fresh and worm-free. Samplejust one mushroom species at a time and eat only small amounts at first. Some people may not toleratesome mushrooms while others will have no difficulty enjoying them. Richard Haard of the biologydepartment and Western's resident mycologist, conducts a non-credit class and discussion group formushroom enthusiasts. Aspiring and veteran mushroom hunters can get together Monday at 8 p.m. inHaggard Hall 330. Two local mycologists, (mushroom students) examine the variety of edible mushrooms available in the Bellingham area.

"Thelack of hand tools is hindering our workshop programs," Fairhaven faculty member Tom Sherwood said.Because of the current financial pinch there is little hope of building up an adequate tool collectionthrough college funding. "It seems that requesting funds for tools would be unnecessary when thecommunity could donate tools they weren't using or no longer had a need for," Sherwood remarked."We're just trying to get a hold of things that are currently going to waste." He said Fairhaven is in needof tools such as hammers, saws, screwdrivers, chisels, draw knives, drills or vises.

By PHIL LAMAY "The cabin is as cleanas ever, as far as I can determine," stated Viking Union Program Director Barry Boniface. Two-hundredpeople a weekend, some climbers and mostly tourists, frequented Kulshan Cabin, a lodge maintained byWestern and the Mt. Baker Club, during this summer, Boniface said. Tents were' erected toaccommodate them, since the cabin can hold only a small amount of those wanting accommodations. A Western coed, Pat Whitcomb, was paid $100 a month to act as a caretaker during the summer. Thiswas done in light of a conflict with the U.S. Forest Service last year concerning the overloading of thecabin. According to a 1951 forest permit, Western Ecology projects agreed to keep up Kulshan Cabin for its use. The Forest Service threatened to burn the cabin down if conditions were not corrected.According to Boniface, Miss Whitcomb repaired 18 "unusable" bunks, added braces to the second floor,a table, shutters, curtains, a stove pipe, repaired a few windows, chopped three cords of wood, andgenerally "added a homey touch" to the cabin. Along with the outdoorsmen from Canada andWashington, the Mt. Baker (hiking) Club has express use of the facility, shared with the FairhavenClimbing Club, and the Outdoor Program at Western. The cabin serves as a base camp for a number ofMt. Baker climbs. J â€¢ L WIZTRONICS, INC.

Credit for projects may be given through either Fairhaven or Huxley Colleges. There are a variety of projects to be done and interestedstudents can contact Robert Keller at Fairhaven. Two such projects concern looking into the politicsbehind the Sehome Hill arboretum issue and the politics involved in getting High Street closed andrerouted to West Campus Way. Some other projects include: -studying the food processing, healthpractices and waste-disposal policies of SAGA -examining of parking situation and parking habits ofstudents and faculty -researching faculty and student commuting and possible alternatives, types anduses of transportation -investigating energy and consumption including water, heat, electricity and fueland -studying the uses and misuses of the motor pool. One pressing problem is the noise level oncampus, especially vehicle noise. One suggestion is that a noise test be mandatory before a parkingpermit be issued. There is also discussion of making noise abatement a condition of constructioncontracts. Environmental problems noticed by students or faculty can be brought to the attention of thecommittee and serious consideration will be given as to what can be done.

B E L L I N G H A M , WASHINGTON 98225 Vikings start late UPSwins 33-21 fiasco â€¢ Losing everything but the fourth quarter, Western's football squad fell to theUniversity of Puget Sound Saturday, 33-21, in a game filled with mistakes, breaks and frustrations. TheLoggers ran up a 33-0 lead before a capacity homecoming crowd of 5,000 at Tacoma's Baker Stadium,before the Vikings finally started moving on a cold, windy afternoon. Western blew chances early in thegame, while UPS capitalized on Vik errors to blow the game open. Puget Sound's only legitimatescoring drive resulted in its first touchdown. The Loggers drove 98 yards in 14 plays in the first period,the final play being a Bob Fisher to Paul Dillon pass for 1 1 yards and six points. Mark Conrad's kickmade it 7-0. Western had three scoring opportunities fail in the second quarter. The Viks' Ivor Hoglundintercepted a Fisher pass on the UPS 15, giving the Blue gridders a fine chance to tie it up. The Loggers held, however, and Lance Wilson's 34-yard field goal attempt was wide to the left. Western held, forcingPuget Sound to punt to Steve Skogmo, who returned the kick 35 yards to the Logger 28. Marshall Torre took over for starter Glenn Hadland, but could not put the Viks into the end zone. Wilson's second three point attempt was again wide to the left, from 37 yards out. Puget Sound began another long drive, only to have it interrupted again by a Hoglund interception on the Vik nine. However, UPS's Mick Cristelli fell on a Torre fumble at the 21 The Sporting Word Western's 1971 Ho-hum-coming â€” By KENTSHERWOOD Sports Editor The sports calendar notes that this Saturday night, Western's gridders willplay host to Eastern Washington at Civic Field. It also notes that the game is something called"Homecoming." Undoubtedly, the person who penned that word for this game expected Western rootersto jump up and down with all the joy and anticipation of the night before Christmas, the Super Bowl and an Econ 201 final combined. In other towns, the word homecoming means parties, reunions, welcoming old grads, remembering when and stretching past facts to meet present memories. In Bellingham it's justanother football game. Some grad may wander back, especially since the Vikings are leading theEvergreen Conference and a win over the Savages could all but sew up an Evco championship. This willbe the second week in a row that the Viks have performed in a homecoming game. Saturday's 33-21 lossto Puget Sound was the Tacoma school's annual fest. Grads returned and cheered the Loggers to asloppy, error-ridden triumph. Sororities and fraternities competed for spirit trophies and a free keg of beer. The biggest homecoming event in the area, naturally, is at the University of Washington. After two PAC-8 defeats, their Rose Bowl dreams shattered, the Huskies will still entertain a capacity returning crowdagainst Southern Cal in three weeks. The traditional blanket tunnel will once again spread from the lockerroom runway to midfield. Yet, in Bellingham, Western will celebrate a quiet, almost private homecoming. There will be no cheerleaders, no big marching band, no big reunion. There may be some privatecelebrations, but those go on at Western all the time. The problem with homecoming, of course, is that it is based nearly entirely on tradition. Tradition, we all know, is an archaic, irrelevant waste of time thatcould be put to better, more practical use. Such as burning your student card because Wilson Librarydoesn't have your book on the history of Central African cowboy movies. For the second year in a rowthere will be no homecoming queen. Some folks say it's been three years, refusing to acknowledge that a pig, which won hands down in 1969, counts as royalty. Western, though, will try to avert a repeat of lastyear's annual event when a 24-7 Central victory ended Western's title hopes. The Vik gridders have achance to win their first ever outright championship. Western tied Eastern for the crown in 1969. So,homecoming or not, the Big Blue will be plenty psyched to send the Savages back to Cheney a little lesssavage. A win would mean that the Viks would have at least a one game lead over Eastern Oregon which plays a tough Oregon College team. Western would then have to face only EOC and a winless OregonTech squad to wrap it up. However, the key game is Saturday night against Eastern Washington. That'shomecoming, remember? People may need to be reminded a couple of times. So, for what it's worth,let's win one for the class of '51. If anyone 'from trie"class of '51 is in attendance that is. and three playslater Logger quarterback Mike Mickas passed 17 yards to Bill Potter for a touchdown with 56 secondsleft in the first half. Conrad's boot was no good. The Loggers got on the score board once more in thehalf. Randy McDonald intercepted a Torre pass on the Western seven and scored easily. Mickas wasdropped behind the line on a try for two points. The third quarter saw more of the same. Conrad wastackled on the UPS 17 trying to punt, following a bad snap from center, but the Viks' chances to scorewere thwarted again by an interception of a Torre pass. Two series later Western's Fred Dorr punted andthe ball hit a Viking down field causing an interference penalty and putting the ball on the Vik 34.Mickas wasted no time in passing to Bill Hecker on the first play for the UPS touchdown. Conrad's kickmade it 26-0. On the first play following the kickoff, Hadland, back in the game, fumbled on his own 21with Logger Doug Cowan recovering. Four plays later, Nickas scrambled 11-yards for the final UPSscore. Western's comeback try started in the fourth quarter with a drive of 73-yards in eight plays tofinally get on the scoreboard. Hadland's arm found the range after Western failed to complete a pass inthe first half. After a clipping penalty and u n s p o r t s m a n l i k e conduct penalty against Vik coachBoyde Long put the Big Blue in a third and 31 situation on the Western 35, Hadland found Cecil Simmsfor a 56-yard pass play to the Logger nine. Hadland fired to Steve Jasmer on the next play for theVikings' initial score. Wilson made it 33-7. Following the kick off, Greg Garnett's pitch was over thehead of 'Potter and Vik lineman Willie Herdner recovered in the endzone for the score. Hadland, whofinished the game with 199 yards in 13 completions on 32 attempts, later marched Western 47 yards in10 plays for Western's final tally, a 17-yard pass to Simms.

(SU), 1-1 Sunday at Bloedel Donovan Field.Hindin's tying goal came in the second half and followed a shot by Greg Wesselius. Wesselius' shotbounced off the SU goalie and rolled back onto the playing field towards Hindin. Hindin then blasted theball into the net and past the bewildered goal-keeper. SU's lone goal game midway in the first half on afree-kick following a Western foul. Abdullah Majhdowi scored the Chieftain counter. The contest proved to be another typical SU-Western affair , with both teams playing tough defense and taking few shots. TheVikings did out-shoot the Chieftains, 22-19. This was the fifth tie for the two teams in three years ofconference action. The SU game was a far contrast from the Vikings' 4-1 triumph over Pacific Lutheran U. (PLU) played Saturday. Against PLU, Western launched a massive attack at the Knights' goal, firing 50shots at PLU's goalie. The Viks meanwhile came up with a tough defense which allowed the Lutes just12 shots at the Western goal. Wesselius led the Viking attack with two goals, both coming in the firsthalf. The Bellevue sophomore has now scored four goals in the Viks' first three games. Manfred Kuerstan set up Wesselius' first marker on a pass which gave Wesselius the ball just 10 yards out from the PLUgoal. Wesselius then rifled the ball into the left-hand corner of the net and past the out-stretched arms ofthe Knights'goalie. Later, Wesselius returned the favor when he set up a goal for Kuerstan in the secondhalf. Wesselius' other goal followed a shot by Hindin which hit the top of the goal and bounced back onto the field. Hindin got Western's final goal of the game when he took a Dave Asher pass and booted asavage shot into right-side of the net. PLU's lone score came on a goal by Gordon McCabe late in thesecond half. Western's next encounter comes tomorrow in Seattle when the Viks face arch-rival theUniversity of Washington (UW). Last year the Huskies tied the Viks 3-3 here and topped Western 3-2 inSeattle. The UW, which is leading the Western Soccer Conference with a 5-1 ledger, has finished second to the Vikings the past three seasons. On Saturday Western hosts the University of Puget Sound,which gave the Huskies their lone setback. The contest starts at 1:30 p.m. at Bloedel Donovan. Ruggershe/lack Scribes; Seconds also victorious Showing a powerful offense and a solid defense, Westernscored its seventh consecutive rugby victory with a 19-0 shellacking of the Scribes from Vancouver, B.C., Saturday. The Viks opened the scoring with a try by Rod Fiddick from the three-yard line. Phil Jackscored Western's second try, kicking the ball over the Scribe defense and outracing everyone to theendzone to fall on the ball. The third and final tally came on a defensive play by the scrum. Western'sGerry Hensen made two of three conversion attempts. Hensen also added a penalty kick to make the final score 19-0. Western's second team also won their game, defeating the Scribes 6-0 The Seconds played a tough defensive battle for the victory. In a game Sunday, the Vik thirds defeated a team from Central,10-8. The Thirds are a new team for inexperienced players. Their win was over a comparable Wildcatsquad. Western will play their next home game on Oct. 30, when the Vikings take on the Vancouver Red Lions.

By JACKIE LAWSON Editor-in-Chief Every student at Western is currentlycapable of having their enrollment in the college terminated withour prior w a r n i n g , r e g a r d l e s sof gradepoint, for failing two or more pass/fail courses in one quarter. According to the current collegecatalog, "a student's enrollment is terminated for low scholarship if, as a freshman, he receives grades of NP in two courses amounting to at least five credits, or, after the freshman year, he receives NP grades in two courses in any one term." S h o u l d a s t u d e n t 's enrollment be terminated, he must thenpetition the Scholastic Standing Committee for reinstatement and, if readmitted, is placed on a c a d em i c probation the following quarter. Because of the current pass/fail policy, where a grade of C orbetter is required for passing, it is conceivable for a student with a 4.0 cumulative grade point average tobe dropped, without warning, from the college. On April 20, 1969, the Academic Council establishedthe original pass/fail system of grading, for elective courses and general education courses. The originalpolicy contained the stipulations that a grade of D or better was considered pass on the system, andthat the pass/fail grading system was on an experimental basis for a maximum of two years. It was also decided by the Council that such a grading system was to be evaluated one year after its enactment.In making the evaluation, an ad hoc committee of the Academic Council collected information from varied sources. All faculty members teaching general education courses were sent a questionnaire asking forinformation concerning student motivation, performance and class attendance, as well as how pass/failgrading affected their courses. Faculty questions P/F worth Ail faculty members, regardless of whetherthey taught general education courses, were polled concerning whether pass/fail grading â€¢ in generaleducation affected academic standards, quality of i n s t r u c t i o n , evaluation of transcripts bygraduate schools and employers, whether pass/fail grading should be retained, and for suggestions foralternative grading systems. All students were requested to submit their opinions and experiences withpass/fail grading. A random poll of s t u d e n t s taking general education on a pass/fail basis wasmade to solicit their reactions to a number of facets of the problem. Other colleges and universitiesthroughout Washington and other parts of the country were polled concerning their experiences withpass/fail grading. Published i n f o r m a t i o n from other institutions was also collected. Letters weresent to graduate schools concerning possible differential admission standards for students with pass/failgrades on their transcripts. Letters were sent to known potential employers of Western graduatesconcerning the practice of evaluating pass/fail grading with respect to their own hiring standards.Previous . studies at Western which had evaluated aspects of pass/fail grading in particular courseswere considered. Available data from the Registrar's Office at Western concerning performance ofstudents who have elected the pass/fail option were considered. Following the evaluation, the ad hoccommittee arrived at several conclusions concerning the pass/fail system as it was then organized.Among these it charged that "students were found to have been studying less for pass/fail courses andgetting less from them than regularly graded students." Students protect G.P.A. Also according to thead hoc committee, it was found that "students stated that their primary reason for electing pass/failgrading was to protect their grade point average and that protection is supported by their performance."Recommendations were then made by the committee. Among them it was stated that "the presentpractice of pass/fail grading in general education courses should be continued on its temporary basis asenacted by the Academic Council for one more year, or until a revised system of grading is enacted. Itis recommended, however, that pass/fail grading be altered as follows beginning with Fall quarter, 1970:"That regular or pass/fail grading be elected by the student prior to the beginning of any quarter and thatno changes from one system to the other be permitted after the first five days of that term. It is believedthat allowing changes from one system to the other places pass/fail grading in an inferior status totraditional grading. "That a uniform cutoff point for pass be established at the level of C with grades lower-than C to be recorded as no pass. That serious consideration be given to limiting the number of courses in general education that can be taken on a pass/fail basis either in an individual term or for the entirefour years." On March 31,1970, a motion was made by a member of the Academic Council whichstated: "It is the sense of the Academic Council that an equivalent grade of D is a passing grade on thepass/fail system, and that no instructor nor department has the right to decree otherwise." The motionwas passed. Council cites C cutoff On April 29, 1970, the following recommendation by the AcademicCouncil was made: "That a uniform cutoff point for pass be established at the level of C with grades lower than C to be recorded as no pass." According to current Western s t a n d a r d s governing lowscholarship, the term "low scholarship" and the resulting placement of the student on academicprobation, is defined as "a freshman who fails to achieve a grade average of 2.0 in each of his first twoquarters. At the end of his first quarter he is sent a warning notice if his average is below 2.0, and he isrequired to consult his faculty adviser during the first week of the ensuing quarter. "Also, students otherthan first or second quarter freshmen, when subjected to scholastic warning for two consecutivequarters, or when admitted or readmitted to the college by action of the scholastic standing committee,will have academic probation status assigned to them." That is, under Western's current academicguidelines, any grade point average below a 2.0 is considered to be low scholarship. Under the existingpass/fail system, whereby no letter grades are assigned, and where pass and no pass are not computed into a student's grade point average, students failing two pass/fail courses in one quarter, where thefailing grade is set at a D or lower, regardless of academic standing, will be immediately and with noprior warning dropped from the enrollment list and charged with "low scholarship." ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 11 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 11, 1972 Front Editorials on the home front by steve Johnston 60AHEAD, KID.

Benjamin Russell, 1784 The Massachusetts Centinel Russell was not off-base when he printed his editorial policy late in the 18th century. His words reflect a strength of character, conviction and relative objectivity during a period in history when the press was striving to achievefreedom. We have thankfully reached a far-advanced stage in history where the press is not only free, but also defended and recognized as a viable, credible medium of information dissemination. Russell'sboldness and obvious integrity is impressive. We have hopes that this quarter's Western Front can notonly achieve, but surpass his expectations for quality journalism, and fair dissemination of news. We areentering a new year and a new quarter, and the newspaper staff is offering you a new Western Front. Wehave changed graphically, yet, more important, we hope we have changed literarily. The emphasis thisquarter will be placed on in-depth reporting in the hopes the Western Front will truly be a service to thestudents, faculty and administrators of Western. We, like Russell, do not fear the truth, nor do wediscourage criticism. The Western /Front will make a concerted effort to thoroughly cover the campus indepth, and present all sides of any issue affecting the college community. In doing so, we hope to raisepotential questions, generate enthusiasm and interest in campus affairs and issues, and create apublication that will serve Western with honesty and frankness, while maintaining a high level ofjournalistic excellence. We will welcome suggestions, criticism and feedback from our readers, yet we, inturn, will not fail to criticize any aspect of the college we feel is deserving of criticism and in need ofreform. We offer you what we feel to be a dynamic, attractive, credible publication. We hope it willgenerate sufficient concern in our readers to be of some assistance in initiating campus reforms. Readthe Western Front, enjoy it, but most of all, think about the issues we publicize. We are not afraid toreveal pertinent issues on campus, however,all reforms require concern and participation on the part of agreat quantity of individuals. We will supply the background information; our readers must supply the callfor action.

"It's starting a little early this year, isn't it?" someone muttered. In a way, Irvirig's "Making of a New Student, 1972" pageant wasoff to an early start. Instead of making his usual rash promises on his mother's grave (his mother is ashealth as a horse) about becoming a new and better student the last day of fall quarter, he had startedtwo days earlier. But it was no cause for alarm. The pageant started off this year the same as last, withIrving frowning into his coffee cup and feeling guilty about not going to classes. Pretty soon little beads ofsweat started to pop out on his forehead. We all knew the next step of the pageant and Irving took thecue. "Oh damnation," he mumbled. Of course he was waiting for someone to ask what the problem was,but we decided to wait a little this year. However, in order to let the pageant continue on its normalcourse we had to act out our parts pretty soon. "Oh God, I'm flunking out," Irving continued when he sawhe wasn't getting the right response. "I'm flunking out and it's all my fault. I'm just no good, that's all, justno good to anyone." At this point of the pageant Irving usually (1) gains enough attention to let the wholething continue or (2) threatens to commit suicide. In 1969 we let Irving get.as far as climbing on a chairwith a rope around his neck before we went on. But this year we decided to go easy on him. "Whatseems to be the problem, Irv?" someone asked. Somewhat relieved at finally being noticed, Irving startedon the second stage of his pageant. "I completely blew this quarter. Never went to any classes except totake the tests, and flunked all those. What few classes I did go to I slept through. "But no more." It wasat this point Irving jumped up (on cue) and made his usual speech about his mother's grave and crossinghis heart. We sighed with relief and settled back for the rest. "At the start of Winter quarter I'm going toget my head screwed on right and start all over. I'm going to settle right down and start to study from thefirst day. No more meeting you clowns for coffee in the mornings. No more falling asleep in classes. I'mgoing to straighten out. Yes, sir . With the pageant well underway, we all knew Irving's next step. Hewould run up to the bookstore and buy all his books, plus a gross of notebooks and then start makinggrand appearances in the library, running from stack to stack in search of some elusive book. Generallythe pageant doesn't last through winter break. Irving meets us on the first day of Winter classes for "onelast farewell cup of coffee" and doesn't leave. So I was rather shocked when he showed up the first day in our history class with a briefcase full of books and notebooks. He even had all the books that wererequired. He sat down next to me and fished through his briefcase until he found the right notebook. Ithad the name of the class neatly printed on the cover. He opened the briefcase to show me he had adifferent notebook for each class. And they were all different colors. He casually flipped open thenotebook and put the date on the first page. This was amazing. Irving had never carried the pageant outto these lengths. "The way I plan to do it, old boy," Irving said with a superior air, "is to keep a notebookfor every class so my notes won't get mixed up. No more of this putting notes in one big book." For awhile it looked as if Irving was actually going to go through with this yearly pageant. But then the teacherwalked in and blew the whole thing. The first thing the teacher did wrong was write his name on theboard. Irving's eyes began to droop a little, but he fought it off and wrote the teacher's name in hisnotebook . . . about an inch away from where the name was already. The teacher made a secondmistake; he started to tell what the class was about. I glanced over at Irving and watched as his printingslowly slipped into sloppy loops. He was now beginning to prop his head up on his hand. Still Irving triedto fight it, but his eyelids continued to droop and then finally closed altogether. Once he woke up with astart and then went right back to sleep. At about this time the teacher was outlining what he wanted forterm papers and was recommending everyone get started on them early. But Irving missed all this. Hewas now deep in sleep and started to drool on his neatly printed colored notebooks. And when theteacher asked if there were any questions, Irving slipped out of his chair and fell on the floor. "Oh crap,"he muttered, which the teacher took to mean his lecture and put Irving's name down in a little black book. "Say," Irving said as we left the class, "why don't we go over to the coffee shop and I'll buy you a cup. Idon't really have to go to my next class anyway." The yearly "Making of A Student, 1972" pageant hadcome to a close. ---------- Western Front - 1972 January 11 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 11, 1972 Western Front Committee cuts FCC chanty bake sale "Well, everybody'sgot a good cause, but . . ." VU Director Kay Burke notifies Fairhaven Community Center CoordinatorBarbara Lundy that the FCC bake sale is to be shortened three days; the first official act of Miss Burke'sAdvisory Committee on Other Student Facilities. Photo by RON GRAHAM By JACK BROOM StaffReporter The Fairhaven Community Center bake sale ends today . . . or does it? Kay Burke, director ofthe Viking Union and Student A c t i v i t i e s , has informed community center volunteers that they willbe allowed only two days this week in which to conclude their fund-raising sale of date squares,fruitcake, and other homemade baked items. . This was the decision reached Friday by the newlyformed s t u d e n t - f a c u l t y Advisory Committee on Other (than r e s i d e n c e hall) StudentFacilities, of which Miss Burke is chairwoman. Earlier AS President Tod Sundquist had okayed the FCC bake sale for two full weeks. FCC volunteers acted on this permission, advertising and buying suppliesfor a bake sale that would run from the 4th through the 14th. Miss Burke maintains that Sundquist didnot have the a u t h o r i t y to grant this permission and that her committee, not the AS, has jurisdiction in that area. However, because policies regarding selling in the Viking Union area are currently unclear, she admits that Sundquist's decision was "legitimate at the time" but that the AS merely forgot tomention it to her office. "But, Tod and I understand it now," she explained. Whatever understanding has been reached, though, is not shared by the community center coordinators who have indicated that they plan to continue their bake sale all this week as they were originally told they could. Gary Evans, FCCcoordinator and former AS vice president said that as long as he can remember, permission from theAS has been sufficient for this type of sale. That is why the community center approached the AS forbacking. Miss Burke points out that the AS no longer has authority in this area because of new p o l i ci e s that are being formulated. However, the committee did not make its decision to cut short the FCCbake sale on the basis of any new policy because that decision was made last Friday as thecommittee's first / official act. The actual policy-making will not come until later this week or next. Norwas that decision made on the basis of old policy, because, in Miss Burke's words, "We literally had nopolicies before now." The newly-born advisory committee claims to be acting according to guidelineswhich, in fact, do not yet exist. Barbara Lundy, a former Western student and another FCC coordinator,explained that if the bake sale is cut short, the center would be left with many baking ingredients, someof which, like eggs, will not last long, and other ingredients which could be sold back to the CommunityFood Co-op, but at no profit. Miss Burke expressed the concern that "We don't want to end up withGrand Central Station up there." She indicated to Evans that she did not want "a million other groups" to demand that they also be allowed to sell up there. Yet she also mentioned that several people hadsuggested creating a flea market type set-up in the area, where many students could sell things thatthey had made. The stated purpose of the advisory committee is to establish guidelines whereby"groups would be given an opportunity to use the (VU) area for sales." Another point mentioned by Miss Burke was that the community center is not a campus group because the money from the bake sale isnoi going to a campus group. Evans explained that out of the 150 people working with the FCC and thebake sale, over half are Western students, so it is in great part a student effort, and that the money isgoing to causes more needy than actual Western campus groups. Evans also stated that if there is any confrontation tomorrow, when the FCC sets up its bake sale for the forbidden third day this week, "It will be over the principle involved, that is, the interest of the poor people of Whatcom County on the onehand, and the committee's desire to eliminate unstructured liberties on the other." FCC explained TheFairhaven Community Center is a four-month-old, non-profit project which has as its purpose " . . . todeal with the complex problems of low income, young and old." It is in part modeled after, and will workin cooperation with the Whatcom County Community Action Center in the Birchwood area. The FCClists as its immediate goals: 1) Creation of food banks and a food information center. 2) Operation of areferral service, which in cooperation with .the Birchwood center, will have access to: Job and housinglistings, Legal aid information, Welfare counseling, Tenant union services, Emergency transportationassistance. 3) Establishment of a housing cooperative, that will explore possibilities of the cooperativepurchase of housing as one solution to the housing needs of low income people. Long-range projects ofthe center include: An autonomous southside emergency transportation service. A non-profit kitchen,serving nutritious food for minimal cost. A medical clinic serving those who are currently unable toreceive adequate medical care. An organization that would assist in the renovation of old housing andthe construction of new homes. The o r g a n i z a t i o n of communal garden plots. A full scale and fulltime switchboard service. A hostel service for transient people. The establishment of small industries to employ those needing work. Miss Lundy says that the center's purpose is, in general, "To make people aware of the community and other people rather than just themselves." For this reason she said, thecenter must be a project of the e n t i r e community. FCC equipment, which at this point consists of atypewriter and a telephone, is open to anyone who wants to use it, Miss Lundy said. The center's officeis located at 1303 11th Street.

And it doesn't look quite the same either. A broken typewriter guards theentrance. Pieces of a jungle gym line one wall and a small white-washed doll house with one windowsits out a few feet from the opposite wall. It's still without a sandbox, though. During the Christmasbreak, the Dorm 3 lounge became the College Cooperative Nursery, the only day care facility inBellingham which provides care for children under three years of age. It's now open and ready to handle30 to 35 children daily. The possibility of a campus day care center has been researched and discussed since early 1970, but the committee working on it had come up against a shortage of available fundsand facilities. In July, 1971, the Ad Hoc Committee on a Day Care Center tabled its proposal for theestablishment of a campus center, citing adverse financial conditions and the availability of space inexisting day care centers throughout the city. In early September, two graduates of Western, DustyWestall and Linda Ross, both mothers of children under three, and a graduate student, Cheryn Weiser,met at a private home where a day care group was meeting. The three got together and begancontacting committee members about the possibility of a cooperative day care center. Talks withAssociate Dean Mary Robinson, who had coordinated the earlier efforts, and with people at Fairhaven,reopened the issue.

It was determined that thecenter would be available for students' children only, with a parent giving as much of his time to thecenter as his child spent there. In late December, Cathy Dexter and Barbara Grote were chosen as co-directors, charged with getting the center operating and ready to open January 4, 1972. They'vereworked some of the original provisions so that a parent spends about four hours a week in the center.Miss Dester explained that if they stayed with equal time for parent and child, everyone would be in thecenter almost eight hours a day. The day care experience is not new to most of the parents who are inthe cooperative. "Some of the parents have been involved in other nurseries before, but never in acooperative," Miss Dexter said. She draws on her experience with a cooperative in Ellensburg in herposition of co-director. As a junior at Central Washington State College, she joined women's liberation.After six months she quit school and with three other members of the group, rented a house to be usedas a day care center for low income and instructors families. The cooperative is open from 7:30 a.m. to5:30 p.m., and there is room for up to 15 children every hour. Miss Dexter said the center hasn't reached maximum enrollment yet and if, after the first two weeks of this quarter, the center is not full, staff andfaculty children will be a d m i t t e d . Although the cooperative proposal stated an upper age limit ofthree years, Miss Dexter pointed out that t h e y ' v e withdrawn that restriction. They depended onprivate sources for funds, but to a large extent "we just learned different ways to survive without money," Miss Dexter said. She sees the cooperative providing parents with a say in creating the child'senvironment, something that they don't have in other paid day care situations. She explained that thecooperative membership will make decisions on what their Events TODAY 2:30 p.m.: Major Wayne Aho speaking on UFOs and ESP, Viking Union Lounge. 6:30 p.m.: Play, " A Man For All Seasons," MusicAuditorium.

Photo by JIM THOMSON children will do, and will discuss various topics, such as differentapproaches to child rearing. They have already decided that single parent and low income families will be given first consideration. If a parent wants to join the cooperative, but can't spend time with the children, he can contribute in other ways, such as building or fixing toys, doing weekend maintenance, preparing lunches or providing emergency child care on weekends. T h e m e m b e r s and condirectors want toimpress upon visitors the need to respect the children's privacy. While both Miss Grote and Miss Dexter are encouraging visitors for the first two weeks, people are r e q u e s t e d to phone the cooperative foran appointment to visit the center after that time. "Right now everybody is basically a visitor," MissDexter said. Miss Grote, who is working toward a Masters in Arts in child development, explained thatone of the difficulties with visitors walking in and out of the center is the disruption of the homeatmosphere. Students can use the center for a laboratory, but if they do, they won't be just observing."I'm really down on people just looking," she said. "It makes the kids feel like they're in a zoo." MissGrote would like to see prenatal instruction expanded to include day care experience. "Not everyexpectant mother is excited. Some are scared," she said. "When you've been with small children, youknow what to expect." The cooperative still needs donations. The directors say they could use a recordplayer and some records, a sandbox, books, bulletin boards, plastic floor mats and paints. The co-directors encourage people who would like to design classes and get credit for work experience in thecooperative to do so. How do the children feel about the center? "I know my daughter hates to leave,"said Diana Hume. When she arrives to pick up Heather, age three, she is quite often greeted with, "Goback to. class, mommy!"

ByBOB McLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor Over the last decade, persistent but long ignored social problems came to the public's attention. P o v e r t y , malnutrition, ecological destruction and consumer fraudsurfaced. The general public became aware and concerned with the emergence of these problems. Anew determination developed. But as the search for solutions continued, new barriers were encountered:the â€¢ public and private institutions which were set up to cope with these problems seemed lost in un r e s p o n s i v e n e s s and inefficiency. Safe effective drugs and n u t r i t i o u s foods were notguaranteed by the Food and D r u g A d m i n i s t r a t i o n. Fraudulent advertising was not alwaysstopped by the Federal Trade Commission. What was good for big business was not always good for the country. The war on poverty was submerged in endless red tape of government agencies andbureaucratic inefficiencies. In answer to these problems, public interest groups have emerged throughout the country. These groups have been formed in the belief that the long range interests of citizens willcontinue to be neglected by the decision makers until: -decisions which have an impact on the publicwelfare are thoroughly discussed and studied. â€”government policy takes into consideration the beliefs and needs of more groups in society. â€”and new methods to ensure consideration of the publicinterest in private economic decisions and government policy. Students came to colleges anduniversities eager to learn how to deal competently with the forces of social injustices. Theirexpectations were met with disappointment as they quickly learned that the educational process did not encourage or train students to grapple with or provide direction for seeking positive social change.Many students found themselves leading two lives. Their responsibility as students were completelyapart from their responsibility as citizens. Recognizing that student efforts to effect social change hassuffered by lack of direction, student public interest groups (PIRGs) have formed. WashPIRG officialssay they hope to bring the local chapters together into one powerful entity. Officials believe that whileOregon was the first state to have established a student PIRG, Washington may be the g u i d i n g light to the establishment of PIRGs in other states. In this state, a larger percentage of Western studentssigned petitions in a shorter time last quarter than in any other college or university in the Washington.Over 50 per cent of the student body signed WashPIRG petitions in less than two weeks. WashPIRGwill be financed by a registration assessment of the additional $ 1 per quarter per student. The Board ofTrustees will decide whether the college will function as a collecting agent for WashPIRG. Opposition to this has been that although students who do not want to participate in WashPIRG can get their $1 back at a designated location, it is an added bother to do so. WashPIRG officials point out that that tuitionmoney spent on other things such as residence halls and sports cannot be returned to the student.Many s t u d e n t s have wondered what this money will be used for and what direction WashPIRG willtake. Except for the fact that this money will be going to hire professionals to study variousenvironmental and consumer problems in this state, not even WashPIRG officials know what will befocused on. At 4 p.m. today in Viking Union 008, a meeting will be held to discuss the direction to betaken by WashPIRG, and charter to be presented to the Board of Trustees for the formation of the localchapter and other questions students may have. Pizza delivery is 'shaky' proposition The deliveryservice of the off-campus food services businesses have been receiving trouble for quite a while. Phonefraud, thievery, assault, burglary, robbery, and destruction of property have all been reported by thosewho operate the delivery trucks that service Western's campus. According to Ross Rowell, manager ofPizza Haven, they receive about two phone calls a night and on occasion this school year have had oven doors pried off their truck and the contents stolen. If the oven is damaged it can cost up to a thousanddollars to replace. Rowell went on to say, "As people in the food service business know, people tend toget hungry at the same time and usually eat in groups. The minute 20 people walk in the door, thephone starts ringing for the delivery service. People don't realize that when we are busy the service isslowed and possibly justify the thefts with their inconvenience." The assistant manager of Shakeys,Fred Boettner-, reports up to 20 phony calls a week resulting in the loss of 20-25 pizzas. When asked ifthe delivery service was a large profit maker Boettner asserted, "We run the delivery trucks more as aservice than a profit maker." Besides the loss in pizza, Shakeys has already lost two oven doors thisschool year. About two months ago Shakey stopped delivering to Buchanan Towers because ofnumerous thefts and damage to the trucks. The A W has dropped its service to the dorm roomsbecause of thefts from its trucks and intimidation of the girls it employs. A dorm dweller must now meetthe trucks in front of the dorm if he wants service. Fred Marshall, manager of the A W, asserted thatsince the start of the new policy there has not been as much trouble this year as last. Marshall stated,"We had a lot of trouble with boys poking and jostling our girls. They kept trying to get them into theirrooms and that sort of stuff so we had to do something to protect them." Not one of the restaurantsseemed willing to discontinue their service and it was agreed that most of the dealings they had with theWestern campus was of an honest and friendly nature.

When he did speak he used a very unenergetic voice that quietly told who had played what. On some occasions the voice would impart information aboutthe date of recording a particular record or information about the artist and then a segue into acommercial or more music. All of the voicing was done with something new in mind for the listener . . .honesty. The station was CKLG-FM, 99.3 mhz, in Vancouver, B.C. - The new format was qualitycontemporary music. The management of 'LG-FM realized that there was a post-pubescent audience for rock music. An audience that you could be honest with, an audience that would really be composed oflisteners and not just hearers. During this past vacation I went up to Vancouver and talked with some ofthe people who are responsible for CKLG-FM. I asked Frank Calahan, programme director, whataudience 'LG-FM was after? "We are aiming at the under-40 people who perhaps have gone beyond thehit music stage or would like something in addition to hit music. "Our AM station (CKLG 730 khz) is atop 30 hit music station of which there are many in Canada and the United States. "The concept of hitradio is that you take the top 30 most popular records and play them over and over again in a repetitionfactor of about three hours. "It's designed for people to listen to for 15 or 20 minutes in their car and for20 to 30 minutes on their way to a movie or whatever. "It's not designed for anyone to sit and listen to24 hours a day or even three or four hours a day, so it's got its place. "However hit pop music, or popmusic or rock and roll or whatever has evolved from rock and roll, has evolved a much more serious side. "If 18 to 49 year-bids were similar enough in their taste that you could group then that's who we wouldbe after, but you can't get that broad or it will start to antagonize people. "We don't program the radiostation with that group in mind it just seems at this point, at this time, that those and the forerunners.Those are the people who are attracted to our radio station. "That's quite a shock to all of you, you don't believe that but it is. Eighteen to 35 year-old men make up 80 per cent of our audience. They're theleaders, that's a starting point, they will act as sort of disciples and it will grow from there." "Howsuccessful has 'LG-FM been?" "With our old format we had a w e e k l y ( a u d i e n c e) accumulationof about 20 thousand. When we went to our current format it doubled. (The weekly accumulation is thenumber of people who listen to a station once per week or oftener, if you listen every day you count asone person, if you listen just once a week you still count as one.) "From 1968 to March last year, ourtotals would fluctuate from 40 to 80 thousand, for no apparent reason, nothing would, change. "I have asneaking hunch iMs t h e survey causing the fluctuation. I don't suggest the survey is wrong . . . I thinkour audience has some built-in problems. "I don't believe in the ratings, as a matter of fact as programdirector I am reluctant to make a change based on a bad rating. "We just received a low rating, a verydisappointing rating, but I don't believe in it. "I think what is happening is a lot of 17, 18 and 19 year-olds and people who are a little older, are telling the people who own department stores and some of theother clients, "Gee! All my friends listen to CKLG-FM, it's got to be the most popular radio station." Ithink they have heard this story so often that they are b e g i n n i n g to believe it themselves, at least to the point of buying time on the radio s t a t i o n , buying advertising, trying it and finding it works." Last April CKLG-FM reverted back to a hybrid automation system. Announcers would make tapes to give the identification of who played what and then an operator would play the tape after (usually) playing therecord, some of the same tapes were used three days in a row in the same ^time period. From atechnique viewpoint the operation was extremely sloppy, the wrong records were played, the correctrecords omitted, or the voice tape would be running through the next hour's selections while a recordwas playing. Calahan was asked to comment on the shakeup. "That was a bad decision made by thiscompany. And management of this company will admit this today as being one of their worst decisions. "It was based on a very black economic forecast on conditions in this country. A very bleak and dismalforecast. At the time the people were let go, we were way under the. projected budget, we were at apoint where profits were far below where we projected they would be. "This was the first time in eight ornine years that our company was faced with this kind of problem, we had been exceeding budgets up tothat point, so this came as quite a shock. "I think-we made a very bad decision. I say we; I was in onthat decision too. I wasn't in favor of it but it happened. "It did one thing, it let us know that our listenersin Vancouver were not going to let their air waves be used in that way. They made themselves heard like you wouldn't believe. They wrote letters to the c o m m i s s i o n , , they even telephoned long distanceto the commission in Toronto." The commission that Calahan referred to was the CRTC (CanadianRadio and Television Commission), it is comparable to the FCC in the United States. I asked Calahanabout the r e l a t i o n s between the commission and 'LG-FM. "There was some concern that thecommission might not understand some of the music we program or some of the people we have on theair, but the commission has shown us that they do understand, that we do have a nucleus of a qualitystation. "I think we are using our portion of the FM band in the way the commission wants. We don'thave 24 hours a day of automated golden oldies, FM wasn't meant for that sort of thing. "We are waiting for a new set of regulations concerning FM stations and I think it is going to demand that people withFM licenses get serious about those FM stations and I don't think they are . going to tolerateautomated jukeboxes on FM. "I think they are going to ask that FM be used for what we call arts, letters and science radio stations. "It means quality music, I think Dylan is quality music and I think that thecommission is going to say if you're playing Bob Dylan that's good." Of the dozen or so disc jockeysthat have been on CKLG-FM all are different, yet they all have an honesty about them that you find on no other radio station in our area. A type of elan develops between the listener and the "voice" at the otherend of the space you're in. Calahan was asked about the things he looks for when he hires an announcer for FM. "After a person has been on the air you probably should be able to know how they feel about alot of things even if he hasn't directly told you . . . the ability to communicate, the ability to expressthemselves." (Calahan spoke briefly about the old days of radio) . . . "the days when you knew exactlywhat you were supposed to say . . . meaningless . . . no substance.' But we are changing, we have tobe able to express ourselves. (In the old days) we had to be positive about everything . . . put on a happy face like a stewardess on an airplane.

"By the way, all the FCC in the states said was that the owners,managers and licensees should know what the lyrics in the songs are and what they mean and I thinkthat a lot of American broadcasters took that to mean that they were to get any dirty lyrics off or anydrug oriented lyrics off the air.

Under the constitutionratified last Spring quarter, an All-College Senate representing students, faculty, administration andcollege staff will "review and recommend" policies to the Board of Trustees. Organization of the 43-member Senate, its constituencies, councils, commissions and committees, is outlined in theconstitution and bylaws of Western. Faculty and student constituencies are divided into academicdepartments. The faculty is represented by 23 senators; two senators from physical education, three from language arts, four from the social sciences, and three from science and mathematics. Fine and appliedarts is represented by three senators, with education adding two more representatives. There are five at-large positions, including three senators representing Fairhaven, Huxley and the College of EthnicStudies. Students are represented by a 12-member delegation as follows; one senator from physicaleducation, one from language arts, two from the social sciences, one from science and mathematics, one from fine and applied arts, one from education and one senator representing the graduate studiesprogram. Huxley and the College of Ethnic Studies are allowed one representative each, although they are now included in the four at-large positions. Fairhaven is represented by one senator. The administrationis represented by two at-large positions, while the staffâ€”custodial, secretarial, etc.â€”is represented bythree .senators. Western's President Charles J. Flora serves as president of the Senate. In addition, hechairs the Senate Executive Committee. A chairman to preside at regular meetings, and a secretary torecord and publish the minutes are chosen by the Senate from its members. Commissions and councils The Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC) has authority over "all matters relating to curriculum,teaching, load, academic programs and the like." Councils serving under ACC include the UndergraduateCouncil, which governs all undergraduate degree programs except those of the cluster colleges, aGraduate Council governing all graduate programs and a Research Council having authority over allresearch programs and proposals. Other councils serving directly under the Senate are the Business andFinance Council, the College Relations Council and the College Service Council. The Business andFinance Council is responsible for all business, financial and all other non-academic administrative policy. Besides reviewing budget requests to the state, the council lopks after salaries and fringe benefits. TheCollege Relations Council determines Western's relationship to the community, state and country. Thecouncil is headed by the "principal college relations administrator," according to the constitution. Studenthealth services, financial aids, inter-collegiate athletics and intramural athletics are governed by theCollege Service Council. The seven-member Senate Executive Committee is charged with establishing the agenda in addition to appointing committees to deal with elections, long-range planning, legislation andstudent rights and grievances. Implementation of the All-College Senate will not mean the end of studentgovernment at Western, as the constitution provides that each constituency may organize as it sees fit.Benefit increase proposed for collegiate veterans Veterans struggling to make ends meet under the G.I.Bill may have some help on the way in the form of a bill proposed by S e n . George McGovern, D-S.Dak. The main provisions of the b i l l call for complete reimbursement of tuition and fees, up to$3,000, and substantial increases in the monthly allowances. Under the existing G.I. Bill, a singleveteran receives only $175 per month to cover tuition, books, living costs and all other expenses. Thesemonthly allotments, if the McGovern bill is passed intact, would be raised to $214 and up to $414 for avet with three dependents, as compared to the present $243. These amendments to the G.I. Bill areaimed at the Vietnam era veteran in an attempt to give them a more complete program of assistance for a higher education. The proposal also calls for an allocation of $65 million for d r u g and p s y c h i a t ric rehabilitation program, and modernization of the Armed Forces. W i t h the hopes of establishing anall-volunteer armed forces, McGovern calls for an updating of military life in several areas: military justice, participation in political and civic life and pay. The Western branch of the League of Collegiate Veterans believing the McGovern proposal is one of the most important pieces of legislation to affect the veteransince the advent of the G.I. Bill. They have instituted a petition drive to back the bill. The club is going to have a booth set up inside the Viking Union main entrance Jan. 17-22 supplied with copies of theMcGovern proposal and the petition. All veterans and anyone interested in supporting the proposal isurged stop by the booth and to write to their Congressmen. The bill will be voted on in March, so actsoon. Fall legislature attendance The Associated Students Legislature will meet Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. inroom 224 of the Viking Union. This will be the first meeting of the 1972 year.

Biasini noted that the age of electronic music has opened many newfields to modern composers. "With voltage control many things become accessible to musicians whichwere never possible with mechanical instruments," he said. The music department will offer a course inelectronic music beginning Summer quarter. The class will be open to all interested students, althoughsome background in either electronics or music would be helpful. Biasini hopes that the class will be asuccess. He pointed out that there is a musical institution in Italy which offers a master's degreeprogram in electronic music. The synthesizer will be "played" on Feb. 8 in an invitational jazz concert.The music department has entered the electronic age to the switched-on beat of a music synthesizer.The s y n t h e s i z e r was purchased last Spring quarter at a cost of nearly $10,000. According to Cole Biasini of the music department, the new synthesizer is "an extremely sophisticated instrument whichis theoretically capable of producing almost any sound imaginable." The synthesizer was acquiredthrough a faculty research grant, and it serves the college interdepartmentally. The physics departmentuses the synthesizer to study sound, and wave forms which it creates electronically. Richard Vawter ofthe physics department said he began utilizing the music synthesizer to study wave forms but he isnow mostly interested in "learning to play the thing." The synthesizer is also used Food stamps If you're running low on bread (either the spending or the eating kind) and your net income is under $195.00 amonth, you are eligible to receive food stamps, according to the local office of the Department of PublicAssistance (DPA). Just a year ago the food stamp issue was a big one to many hungry WhatcomCounty residents. Based on findings of a study on Whatcom County by the Department of Agriculture,emergency regulations were put into force. The major problem was that for an individual to be eligible toget food stamps he had to prove that he did not "share household facilities or food" with any non-relatives. However, no acceptable proof was specified, and no proof was accepted. Many people weredenied food stamps simply because they lived with unrelated people. Changes were made in the latterpart of January, 1971, and the regulations have stayed the same since then. Now, in order to receivefood stamps one must show proof that his previous month's income did not excede the limit and mustsign a statement that he "stores, eats and prepares his food individually," according to Linda Weed whois presently in charge of the food stamp program. Wage stubs, G.I. Bill or Social Security forms, or astatement from the person's parents are accepted as proof of income, Mrs. Weed added. During October 1971, the latest figures available, Whatcom County had 2,059 and 4,717 individuals receiving focxistamps, according to DPA administrator Dean Rutledge.

Flora and AS President Tod Sundquist. Beginning SummerQuarter, tuition will increase from the current fee of $149 per quarter to $165 per quarter. Specific costbreakdowns for Summer session fees include the $165 fee for resident students enrolled.in the nine-week session and carrying more than six credits; and $111 for the six-week session if enrolled for morethan four credits. Non-residents will be paying $266 for the nine-week session and $178 for the six-week session. Part-time students, including those students taking short courses and workshops will berequired to pay $22 for each credit hour, with the minimum fee set at $44. Those students auditingcourses will be required to pay $10 per course, the only fee reduction over current fees. Last ^Summer'sauditor fee was $40. Comparison between the new fees and those last Summer show that students were required to pay $149 for the nine-week session if a resident and $ tOO'for the six-week session. Non-residents enrolled in the nine-week session paid $ 140 and $160 for the six-week session. Part-timestudents paid $20 per credit hour and auditors paid $40 if taking one or more courses per quarter.Following the action taken by the Trustees, the state office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management will receive notification and will initiate the necessary contact with the federal government's PriceBoard. Before voting, the Trustees listened to statements from the gallery, including those made byPresident Flora and Sundquist. "I cannot support an increase of any kind.

"We should take pride in efforts to lower the cost of a collegeeducation, and look into the possibility of seeking legislation to place some ethical level on fees," Florasaid. Flora raised the suggestion of placing a percentage limit on the total cost students should berequired to bear, as a ceiling price, which could be presented to the State legislature. He informed theTrustees that there is currently no guideline on fees in the state. "It is a sad situation. None of us heredo this with joy or because we desire it," he said.

WhileWestern's Class of '71 is not exactly starving to death on the job market, they're not exactly burning itup either as about one out of every two graduates reported finding a job of any kind. A report justreleased by' the Placement Office shows that j o b s are a premium in Washington State, and if thetrend continues the situation will not get any better for a while. As of Nov. 1, 1971, the report shows ofthe 1,429 graduates served, only 818 had found jobs. There were 303 former students still looking foremployment and the rest were distributed in graduate schools, m i l i t a r y s e r v i c e andhomemaking. Of the 933 education majors graduated last year, 430 reported finding teaching positionswhile 156 were holding down jobs in other fields. However, 181 future teachers were not able to find anytype of employment. But if the education majors seem to be having a hard time in a tight job market,then so are the arts and sciences graduates. From a total of 496 graduates, 232 had found a job byNov. 1, while 112 were still looking. Thirty-seven graduates d e c i d e d to not seek employment; 50 didnot reply. The military got 19 grads and 34 went on to graduate school. The r e m a i n i n g 12 took uphomemaking. Although the report does not list the type of jobs found by the 232 former students, LouisLallas, director of the Placement Office, said many went into management or white collar positions.Still, former students are reporting a hard time finding a jobs in supermakets and gas stations. Onegraduate said, "To even get a job pumping gas now you need a college degree." And graduates aretaking a cut in pay to get their jobs. The average beginning salary of Western's male graduates in 1969-70 was $667 a month. It has now dropped to $648 in 1970-71. "This reflects not only the tight jobmarket," the report states, "but also is partially an indication of the willingness of candidates to take jobs that don't require or compensate for college degrees." And for those students who say money is not afactor in finding a job are in a minority, according to a survey by social psychologist Dr. Harold Edrich of New York. "The glamorous chimera of the counter-culture actually turns out to represent a very smallpercentage of young Americans," Dr. Edrich said. "The old-fashioned values of marriage, family, financial security, savings, a good jobâ€”those are the ones to which t h e great majority still subscribe." Hewent on to say that two out of five young people surveyed said they were "very concerned" aboutfinancial security, while one out of six counted himself as "somewhat unconcerned" about moneymatters. But for the Western graduate to even find a job, it took more, leg work than in the past andfewer places to apply. In 1968-69, a total of 104 companies visited Western for recruiting purposes". Last year the number dropped to 49 companies, just one above number in 1965. Also the average number of interviews for arts and sciences students increased considerably from 1970 when it was 7.15. In 1970-71 the average student had 12 interviews. Recruiters were frank to admit they were "skimming off thecream" as GPA, leadership abilities, military or volunteer service became more important foremployment. S t u d e n t s s e e k i ng employment found it necessary to make contacts with morecompanies than before, with 1 some students reporting an average of one positive response for every 12letters sent out. Some students found temporary employment when F e d e r a l funding becameavailable for social services. In program such as Employment Supplement Program (ESP), studentswere employed for 13 weeks in some non-profit or public service organization. But after 13 weeks it isback to the streets. Now for the bad news . . . . The number of education majors has increased from610 in 1965-66 to 933 in 1970-71, yet t h e number of schools interviewing has fallen off sharply. Therewere 233 Washington State schools interviewing students in 1965-66 and that number has fallen to 59for last year. It was the same story for. out of state schools which has , - Â» â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Â» â€¢ â€¢Â« KMffl REACH 1 0 , 0 0 0 READERS WITH Display Classifieds STUDENTS, FACULTY, STAFF GET THIS MUCH SPACE FOR ONLY $ 2 . 0 0 SAVE UP TO 75% OVER STANDARD CLASSIFIED RATESCALL THE ACTION LINES - â€¢ 676-3.161 ,rr-..-a7.6.-,3.16.0Â»-MÂ»^. dropped from 66 to 15. While the number of schools interviewing dropped, the number of credentials sent out has climbed up to 9,467from 6 , 9 2 2 in 1 9 6 5 - 6 6. But Lallas said the number of freshmen this year who reported they wereseeking an education major is lower than in the past, which means within a couple of years the numberof teachers seeking jobs should even out or go down. The hardest pressed to find a job were thestudents seeking social service work, but with the Federal funding the job market should loosen up alittle. Also Master of Arts candidates looking for community college positions had a hard time,, but outof 21 registered with the office, 12 did eventually find -jobs. Through all these rather glum figures Lallasremains fairly optimistic about Western graduates finding employment. He recommends that studentsremain flexible when looking for jobs. "What the students have to recognize is that they cannot burytheir heads, but they have to prepare themselves for alternative decisions," he said. "And they shouldn'tnarrow down their fields." He also recommended students start early, "when they are sophomores," inbecoming acquainted with the Placement Office so they can have a better chance at getting a job.l ^s s^'* I HAVE BEEN A LONG TIME WALKING FROM YOU YET I CAN STILL TURN AND SEEYOU WAVING' Cards For Time and Hearts at MACMORGAN'S HALLMARK BELLINGHAM MALLOPEN EVES SUN MACMORGAN'S LAKEWAY 104 EAST MAGNOLIA AT THE BUS STOP For $5 a day and 5C a mile For information and reservations contact.

CenterRudy Thomas bombed in two 15-footers to give Western a permanent lead. Thomas finished the evening with 20 points, leading the Vik attack which saw six men in double figures. Following Thomas, GaryWhite and Mike Franza scored 15 each, Bob Nicol contributed 13, Mike Preston tossed in 12 and Roger Fuson added 10. Western opened up a 54-27 half time lead, despite going nearly six minutes without a field goal. The Viks filled the gap, however, with six free throws until Chip Kohr's lay-in broke the freeze.Western's defense held off the Saints during the dry spell. The Viks led Carroll in every statistic,shooting 53.4 per cent to 30.7 per cent from the field and 71.9 per cent to 57.1 per cent from the line.Western also held the rebounding edge by a convincing 57-21 margin. "This was probably one of ourbest efforts of the year," said Viking coach Chuck Randall. "It's a relief to sit back and enjoy one ofthese games." Most of Western's wins have been of the heart-stopping, last minute variety. Randall wasable to clear his bench for the last six minutes in this one. Nicol and Preston scored their double figurepoints in reserve roles. Tom Mount chipped in eight counters, including a free throw that put the Big Blue over the century mark. Kohr also had eight and Mike Buza scored two. For Carroll, Fritz Wolk led thescoring with 12 points, followed by Jack Sanders with 11 and Lynn Mavenkamp with 10. Mavenkampwas the only foul casualty, although a total of 57 fouls were whistled.

The Sporting Word By KENTSHERWOOD Sports Editor And Noah's doing flip-flops I should have become at least slightlysuspicious when I opened a Christmas present over the holidays to reveal a copy of Webster's NewWorld Dictionary of the American Language, Second College Edition no less. The accompanying cardread "This is the American Language! Use it!" The "gift" was sent by an anonymous sports fan, who isalso, for reasons known only to jhim and his grammar teacher, an English major. It seems that he can'tunderstand why sports writers refuse to use simple, regular, old-fashioned English words whendescribing the .Vikings latest conquest. What's wrong with saying Western clobbered so and so after abig win? It sounds to dull to say: "Western won," or "Western beat Bellingham High School." It soundseven duller to say Western lost. So in these rare occurances words like "edged" or "slipped by" are usedin its place. Most literature is given some metaphoric leeway in its discriptive prose. Why then shouldjournalists be restricted? Especially sports writers, since there is always sufficient reason to resort towords which convey just a little more than whether the team won or lost. The main gripe that NoahWebster's defenders have is that "literary jocks" insist on using words in the wrong context. Take theword "ducat" for example. A ducat, according to Noah, is a gold or silver coin used in old Europeantimes. Any sports writer worth his press pass knows that a ducat is a ticket for an event, right? With allof this firmly imbedded in mind for two or three seconds, an explanation of sports jargon will be quicklydisseminated so that you may easily find your way through the Western Front's sports pages this andfollowing quarters. Actually, it's probably easier to skip all this altogether, but as long as you havejourneyed this far Concerning basketball, if a team wins by over twenty points, the contest is a"convincing" or "easy" win. The team has coasted to victory with ease. If the team wins by thirty or more, the game was a "laugher" from start to finish. Wins of about ten points or so are "down to the wire"games which the team fought hard for. They are also classisfied as "well-earned wins." Anything underfive points are automatically called "nailbiters," "heartstoppers" or "cardiac cases." Coaches like to termthese as "clutch wins" and say things like "it's good to win the close ones." Losses are different storiesaltogether. A two point loss is a "heartbreaker" and "it could have gone either way with just a break ortwo." If the loss comes in overtime, then it was a "moral victory." Unfortunately, there has yet to be atournament devised for teams with moral victories. If the team loses by more than ten points, they were"in it all the way, but ran out of gas," or whatever is used these days to win ball games. If the game isdecided by twenty points then the loser had an "off night," or maybe injuries prevented the best possibleplay. If it's over thirty points, then the team was either "outclassed" or the game never happened in thefirst place. Still, it is the inherent right of all sports writers to misuse the English language as the casewarrents. If the game suggests that the team "blew their opponents off the court," then that doesn't mean that they brought out a monstrous fan. A "staggering triumph" does not necessarily suggest that thevictors were under the influence at the time. But all these liberties taken with the King's English are forthe benefit of not only the reader, but also for the writer,as it relieves the boredom by allowing him to pensuch prolific prose as "the Vikings castigated Central," or whoever. (That word came from the anonymous Christmas present.) In case you're wondering though, that funny flip-flop noise you hear when you read a sports story is Mr. Webster turning in his grave. Lee Andersen and Mike Donneley kept their unbeatenstrings intact by decisioning their opponents by scores of 2-0 and 11-4, respectively. Andersen placedfourth last year in the NAIA Tournament in Boone, N.C., wrestling at 158. Central's Greg Gowens, lastyear's national junior champion from Bellingham High School, defeated Chuck Smith 17-0. The defeat toCentral was Western's first loss of the year. The Vikings record now stands at 4-1. Statistics on theVikings show that the while Western has scored more takedowns, reverses and predictions than theiropponents, they are weak in escapes which prevents the team to control the match as well. Of theteams in the Evergreen Conference, four of them, Central, Southern Oregon, Oregon College and Oregon Tech are rated in the top ten in the nation. Coach Bryant expressed his confidence in the team bysaying, "I feel that they can place in the top ten. They have the potential." JV's ground Flyers, 87-74Using the holiday break to shake off two straight losses, Western's junior varsity cagers dumpedMcChord Air Force Base 87-74 last week. The win gave the Vikings a 4-2 record. Coach Rich Tucker'ssquad was scheduled to meet the Simon Fraser jayvees last night. Western utilized the fine shooting of 6-3 guard Mark Salzman and 6-5 Vz forward Chuck Fisher to turn what was a close contest into arunaway. Salzman finished with 22 points and Fisher followed with 19. Salzman started off the game hot as he hit four of Western's first five field goals. Fisher fired in eight points late in the game to put it out of reach. Jim Jackson led the Flyers with 22 points, 19 of them in the first half. Jim Oldenberg had -17.Two other Vikings scored in double figures. Dick Bissell, center from Bellevue's Newport High School,had 14 and Jim Hotvet, from Central Kitsap, had 12. McChord stayed in the game most of the way,trailing only 36-32 at the half, but were outlasted by the young Vikings. Western saw its three game win streak snapped earlier in the season with a 67-66 loss to Simon Fraser. Western followed a cold firsthalf, at which they trailed, 44-35, with a long comeback. The following night, playing their fifth game inseven nights, the Viks traveled to Auburn and were dismantled by Green River Community College, 94-70. IM meeting tomorrow The dribblers at Western will soon move from the Coffee Shop to Carver Gym, as intramural basketball begins a new season.

"They knew my methods were radical, yet they'd say 'I don'tknow what you're doing, but please don't stop!' " Peg Howard of Bellingham was relating her teachingexperiences in North Bend, Wash,, where she proved to several parents that hyperactive children can be taught in a classroom situation, often with astounding results. Hyperactive children have l o n g beenregarded as incorrigible, retarded, and generally unacceptable in a classroom situation. Theirhyperactivity forces them to extreme levels of physical action resulting in short attention spans. Theyare usually unable to concentrate on any class projects for more than a few seconds at a time. A greatdeal of medical research has been devoted to the hyperactive child, yet until recently it was generallyassumed that the only way to subdue a hyperactive child to the point where he could effectively betaught was with the use of dextroamphetamine, commonly known as speed. But Mrs. Howard throughher work with hyperactive children at North Bend, has proved, as she says, "that a little love and a lot ofpatience will work with anyone." Her style of .teaching is radically removed from normal teachingtechniques, lead fellow teachers at North Bend to b i t t e r ly complain that her "noisy classroom is nota learning situation," but her results have proved otherwise. Mrs. Howard's dream has long been todesign and run a school especially for these hyperactive children, and now she is planning to start thatschool here in Bellingham. Mrs. Howard and co-director Rich Borman have recently founded the FourthCorner Foundation, at 210 N. State St., a 14 room mansion in which the school will be conducted.When asked how she will finance the school, she replied, "I'm what you would call an o l d - f a s h i o ne d p a t r i o t ic American. I don't want to apply for a governmental grant, but hopefully we can make itwith tuitions for out of state students and a lot of hard work." She's already had support from theBellingham community for the program. One former resident of Bellingham, Dwight Wallace who recently passed away, left in his will 5 acres of land to the school. Fourth Corner Foundation will not be only aschool, however. Rooms will be set aside for the Northwest Free University to use, and several highschool dropouts, even reformed drug addicts will assist Mrs. Howard in her ambitious undertaking. " I 'm hoping to recruit education majors, science majors, professors and anyone else from Western who isseriously interested in learning to teach my method. She uses the technique of teaching mathematicsthrough art combined with allowing children to work in an unstructured atmosphere to produce heramazing results. Discipline is minimal, she says. "The only discipline I ever have to use is forcing thekids to go outside for recess period, their desire for learning is that great." PEG HOWARD "You see,these kids quite often have an extremely high I.Q., but because of their hyperactivity their span ofattention is extremely short. This has led teachers to believe that they are inferior mentally, but if given a chance they learn so fast they soon l e a v e others of average intelligence far behind." Mrs. Howardsays she hopes t o enroll children from Bellingham for a two-week session to be renewed. Thesechildren would then go back to their school classes, showing other children what they have learned.While high school-aged kids are working with the children, hor efully they'll be able to s e t t l e their own personal-problems. "By helping others, they'll be themselves at the same time," says Mrs. Howard."But I have to have college students helping me! Tell them to come down to 210 State St. anytime, orcall 676-0155."
