"Effectively, we didn't have any goals," Higgin-son said. "We all knew we were there to serve the students, but somehow everyone there had a different view ofwhat the board of directors should do." According to the Viking Union Finance Office, the AS collected$224,016.60 this year from tuition. Of this, Higginson received $1,250 and AS Vice President Hugh Larkin received $625. Other board members do not receive salaries. Proposals brought up at the beginning ofthe year were not acted on until much later in the year. Examples of these are the AS by-laws revisionbrought up at the second board meeting and not acted on until late winter quarter, and the AS salaryincrease brought up at the first board meeting and not acted upon until the third meeting winter quarter."We were either not dealing with things or tabling them," Higginson said. According to board membersSue Hirchert, Stephen Barrett, Jeff Larsen, Marilee Fosbre and Kay Burke, this pattern of hesitancy inacting on agenda items persisted throughout the year. Higginson disagrees. "I admit fall quarter I wasnot chairing the meetings effectively, but I changed in good faith and feel I was doing a good job,"Higginson said. "I think if you ask any of the board members they would agree that I functioned the wayan efficient chairperson should." "AT THE FIRST of the year Carla (Higginson) did not have themanagerial skills to be president," Larsen said. "She did not become more efficient at chairing themeetings." Larsen admitted he and Barrett had been assuming the presidential duties. "Barrett and Ihave been policy writing and soliciting information since the beginning of winter quarter," Larsen said."That's what the president should be doing." "Carla (Higginson) wasn't around, I don't know why, I didn'task her; but I am not one to talk because I wasn't around either," Larkin said. "I got more involved withthe bookstore than my job required and besides I didn't have an office." Higginson too, admitted that as apresident she had been circumvented by other board members. "It wasn't due to my lack of initiative theytook over," she said. "The AS president doesn't have a lot of power. Out of necessity I had to step down." - On April 2, 1975, Larsen gave Higginson an ultimatum with a majority of the board's approval. "We'dbeen working around her (Higginson) for six or seven months; something had to be said and done. I toldher to either shape up or ship out," Larsen said. The ultimatum was based on a series of accusationsincluding mis-use of travel funds, refusal to recognize board members during meetings, failure to meetwith the advisor when requested to do so, failure to maintain scheduled office hours and emotionaloutbursts and personal attacks directed at board members from the chair. - "Never, never in the meetings were personal attacks directed toward board members," Higginson said. "I've never refused torecognize board members," and it's "absolutely and completely untrue that I did not maintain my officehours; I was there every day," she said. Higginson also denied all other accusations. According toShahin Farvan, at-large member, the blame for the board's inefficiency this year is not the fault of oneperson. "It's a mixed up personal conflict. They (board members) don't know that when it comes tobusiness, they should leave their personal feelings out. Some of the board members are very immature,they're holding personal grudges," he said. "That's why our agendas are continually postponed." CARLAHIGGINSON "It's a fact the board took sides a few times and Carla (Higginson) just happened to be onthe other side," Larkin said. "People didn't use tact in handling other people." The students that wereelected this year were perhaps not the best students to accomplish student needs," Hirchert said. "If our elected students are aware that what they do and say is made public they act more efficiently This iswhy the Western Front should have given us more coverage this year," Hirchert continued. Barrett, thenewly elected AS president summed up this year's board's effectiveness. "This competes with one of theworst years the AS has ever had." AS uses code to solve communication problems IWMMISniTC.mv.Â«m,. .... . . . _ J *uâ€ž*. â€žÂ»Â« I HERE'S WHERE THE GOING GETS ROUGH - Last Thursdayafternoon, members of Huxley's guerrilla theater did an outdoor skit on campus, poking fun at the K-2expedition. These two members are making their imaginary descent along the "pass" that leads to the"mountainâ€”K3," technically it's the sculpture "For â€”â€”-â€”~â€” : - DENNIS RITCHIE AFTER ATHREE year experiment, the Associated Student government is facing an identity crisis. Moves are being made by next year's AS officers, with help from present members, in an attempt to alleviate theproblems. In the three years that the AS has been legally a corporation and not a student government, ithas had problems with its system of a Board of Directors and various councils under the board.Problems have arisen during all three years between the AS president, who is also chairperson of theboard, and the board members. The identity problem, according to next year's AS president, SteveBarrett, is "The AS is a student government using a corporation model. A board, under the corporationmodel, oversees management but not necessarily day-to-day operations." The reorganization planswhich are being discussed will be worked on during the summer before a public hearing and a studentvote on the changes will be this fall. The plans deal with setting goals, accountability of councils andbetter lines of communication.' These plans will be part of a written policy that, according to Barrett, willbe a definite operating code. The code would deal with hiring and employment practices and staffing ofvarious college committees which are presently done through word of mouth. THIS WRITTEN CODE willspecify the lines of communication between the councils and the board. Barrett warned, "We should have preliminary budget proposals and post-budget checks to see if any abuses occurred. Abuses happen ifthere is no control or accountability." The present system doesn't require that account- "Things are being done that are not even approved at the council level. If no one questions a decision, it'll just happen thatway." One of the most wide-ranging proposals that may be considered is a change from the presentcorporate structure. One suggestion would have the board handling corporate board matters while a newcouncil would replace the board in handling student government matters. Another alternative would havethe AS board made up of representatives of the several AS councils. Jeff Larsen, an outgoing AS boardmember involved in reorganization planning, said there could be problems with that proposal. "Themembers could have great expertise but they may not be considered 'representative' because they arenot elected by the students." SEVERAL PEOPLE MENTIONED problems of expertise with the presentmethod of some members elected to sit on the board and also on a council while some board memberssit in at-large positions with no specified responsibilities. Under his leadership, board members will beexpected to specialize in some field. Barrett said. However, he admitted there would be no concretemethod of requiring specialization. AS advisor Kay Burke pointed out that history supported the wisdomof specialization. She said, "In every board, the people who are dealing with something else are the mosteffective." Some organization proposals have already been approved. In passing new by-laws severalweeks ago, the board created a new position of second vice president. This would be filled by thechairperson of the student caucus of the All-College Senate. Hirchert explained the new vice president,who will be elected next fall, would deal with academic matters that involve the Associated Students and the senate. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 More students, less faculty cause Western worries LIZ RUSTMOST DEPARTMENTS at Western are suffering from a serious case of faculty malnutrition. Andalthough the state legislature has not made a decision on faculty formula, an increase in the budget fornext year looks doubtful, according to James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Threeweeks ago, Western's six deans expressed a need for a total of nine more Full-Time Equivalency (FTE)positions to meet minimal staffing requirements next year, while only six are expected to be available.Due to legislative cutbacks in funding Western suffered two years, all departments have been operatingon 15 per cent budget cuts, Davis said. This has caused serious problems throughout the campus. "It isa matter of survival for three quarters of the departments on campus," R.E. Stannard, chairman of thejournalism program said. "Without more faculty, they are confined." Stannard said the journalism program is "holding down the staff to the faculty level we had when we had one-half the number of students on the .program that we have now." The program has four faculty members for next year, where it needs six tomeet the current level of demand, he added. According to Pat Friedland, director of the recreationprogram, that program is also in need of more staff. For the 220 recreation majors, there MUSICALCLASSROOM CHAIRS? are currently only two full-time faculty members. "We need four to go aheadwith the spring program for next year," she said. "This year we managed but next year we can't."Friedland said the demand for the spring program is so great that next year's has already been filled."THE COLLEGE WILL just have to make a decision about whether or not they want to keep theprogram," she said. In the past two years the number of students in the biology department hasincreased from 50 to 250 and the faculty has been cut from 20 to 14.5, according to department headClyde Senger. The increased enrollment is due largely to the great influx of pre-med majors, he said. But because of limited facilities and inadequate staff, the biology department may have to consider "turningoff the (pre-med) program" by discouraging pre-med students from attending Western. Louis Barrett,chairman of the physics department, said, "With the present staffing we can't give the necessarycourses." Although lack of faculty is the most serious problem, the physics department is also indesperate.need of new equipment. "Technological advances require it," Barrett said. A new planetariumis one of the facilities the department would like to acquire. But, according to Barrett, there is less than a 50-50 chance of receiving it. The legislature is expected to make some kind of a decision regardingWestern's financial fate sometime this week. Meanwhile the college, which must make plans, waits. ASoffers funds for transit, awaits city decision BECKY FOX THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS is the firstgroup to commit funds for a proposed free college-city transit system organized by Judy Simmer, director of Rape Relief. A similar commitment from the city may be harder to come by. The AS ear-markedabout $700 from next year's budget for the proposal which calls for a 15-person van to run from theBellingham mall through campus to Holly Street at no cost. The van would run every half hour from 7 to11 p.m. seven days a week during fall quarter on a trial basis. Simmer is asking the AS to pay the costof the gas and oil, the city to pay for the driver's salary and the college to pay for the vehicle. This month, the proposal was heard by the Bellingham City Council's Public Safety Committee. That three-mancommittee requested more information from Simmer and, upon receival of the information, voted it beheard before the council on either June 9 or 23. John Herrman, chairperson of the committee, stronglysupports the proposal but doesn't predict any easy time in the council. "I think it offers something weshould be offering within the city," he said. "But I bet it doesn't go through the council. Basically, what itboils down to is a difference in philosophy and a split between the old and new members of the council."These people (old members) just really refuse to do anything that supports the college or the hippycommunity â€” anything that is not for an old entrenched group." DENNIS BRADDOCK, president of thecity council and member of the Public Safety Committee, also favors the transit system. Braddockwants careful preparation and concrete facts before it is considered by the council. "It will be close butnot unanimous," he said. "The problem with this is it will require a majority-plus-one vote because themoney will come from reserve funds. We'd like to get as much information and support as possible before it comes to the floor because it won't be easy to get it through." Simmer was pleased with theproposal's reception in the committee. "It got pretty good response but I am disappointed that the thirdmember wasn't as enthusiastic, especially since he is a college employee," she said. Stuart Litzsingeris the third member. He has his doubts as to the city's financing a private group. "Personally, I don't seehow the city can finance it," he said, "because as soon as we do it, some other group will come alongand say, 'if you did it for them, why don't you do it for us?' " Herrman agrees this may happen but wouldlike to try it. "Sure it can grow," he said, "but this isn't a drawback. It can't get way out of hand unlessthere is a need out there. Maybe we should be listening to those needs." DESPITE THE APPARENTsplit in the Public Safety Committee, the real test will be in the Council. Simmer is optimistic of theproposal's future and is now working on the gathering of information and commitments. Simmer, whoused to teach at Western,.said she wanted to do something, over and above the usual, to help alleviatewomen's fears of walking at night. In this respect, she said, the proposal is part'of Rape Relief. But thefree transit would be open to anyone. Keith Guy, director of residence hall programs, is working on thevehicle side of the proposal. The college now owns two vans but it would be difficult to get these, he said, as they are already heavily used for student groups. Guy appeared before the college's parking andtransportation committee last week, but is still waiting for more specific information from Simmer. Thecollege may, should it commit itself, lease a van from an outside agency. If the transit system isimplemented, a tally will be taken fall quarter to see how much it is used. Then a decision might be made by the city and college about funding it as a permanent service. Student publications council picks neweditors GREG COHEN As Western shifts gears in preparation for a new man at the helm, the WesternFront and Klipsun are also looking ahead to new leadership. Greg Cohen, a senior in journalism, hasbeen selected by the Student Publications Council for the summer quarter editorship of the Front.Cohen said that features will be a big part of the summer quarter Front, to "keep the paper lively andclose to what the people in the environment are like during the summer." "Summer quarter is unique" he said, "It's an enthusiastic quarter, and I hope to be able to reflect this enthusiasm in the Front." DennisRitchie, journalism major, was selected for his "second time around" as fall quarter Front editor. "I wantto expand and concentrate on issues, perhaps some of the heavier problems we usually shy awayfrom," Ritchie said. He said he hoped the Front would be able to relate complex governmental issues tothe students on campus, and to person-ize them with the help of "issue pages" where writers on andoff the staff could document the pros and cons of a particular issue. Cheating, promotions and "publishor perish" are some of the topics he hopes to cover. Ritchie said he will "try to present the news from the consumers' point of view." Klipsun's fall quarter editor will be Vincent Hagel, English major. "I hopeto make Klipsun a more experimental publica tion," he said, "both in substance and form." Hagel saidthe Fall Quarter Klipsun will deal with contemporary issues, "things that effect everyone on campus."He stressed that since it is a student publication, anyone on campus will be encouraged to Â§ submitmaterial for use in the $1 magazine. *fe Vincent Hagel, Klipsun editor, ^ unavailable for picture. DENNISRITCHIE ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, June 3,1975 Western Front 3 The call of the wild, or from journalist to jumper CO UNDERCOLORED CANOPIES - Three experienced parachutists float across the skies of Whatcom County atNorthwest Aerosports near Ferndale. From top to bottom: Jack Massey, Jack Fader and Jack Hanssen.SCOTT JOHNSON "I NEED SOMEONE crazy enough to jump out of an airplane," the editor said. "To do what?" I volunteered. "To jump out of an airplane/' she said. So last week, under the watchful eyes ofKen Eskeback, instructor for Northwest School of Parachuting, I learned first-hand why anyone wouldjump out of a perfectly good airplane. I don't know why I did, but Eskeback kept saying there was a much better chance the chute would open than not, so I did. The instruction period seems unreasonably short to the uninitiated, but after five hours of class I was ready to go up and try the real thing. Like manysports, parachuting is easy as long as everything goes well, but I had to learn what to do if somethingwent wrong. If nothing went wrong, there was nothing to do â€” except jump 3,000 feet down. Nothingcould go wrong, they told me. As I would leave the plane, a 10-foot cord would pull out my parachute. Ifeverything worked right, I would fall about 138 feet in three seconds as the parachute opened. If I felllonger than six seconds, Eskeback said, I should "cut loose" from a partially opened main chute. As itfell away it would pull open my reserve chute, he said. And if all else fails, he said pointing to a little boxon the reserve chute, this will automatically open the reserve at 1,000 feet if you are still falling too fast.That, he said, was in case I was unconscious or too scared to move. WITH THOUGHTS of how long they would talk about death, I got eagerly into the plane and was ready to take-off. We had been through it all on the ground â€” it was easy. On command, I would sit in the door. Just like on the ground. Oncommand, I would climb out and hang from a wing-strut. Just like on the ground. He said go. I went. Justlike on the ground. And fear wrapped its cold hands around my chest. I fixated on the ground and forgoteverything they told me. All I felt was a sickening feeling of falling, like I had never felt before. As soon asI let go, I wondered, why did I do that? As I stared at the ground, I fell and fell and wondered when itwould stop. I had forgotten about the parachute when it shook me back to reality, like being awakenedfrom a dream. "Oh yeah," I thought, "there was something I was supposed to do." So I went carefully over what they had told me. Then finally I remembered, "Oh hey, make sure the parachute is there." So I did, and it was. Then I looked around below me at the beautiful land of north Whatcom county. "Now what?Oh yes. Steer down." I followed the man on the ground pointing the big arrow which told me which way to go to hit any of four fields. This way, that way, turn around. Suddenly I looked straight down. Right below me was the ditch and brambles between two fields. The ground came rushing up and I shut my eyesand slammed both feet through the brush and into the mud. THE SHALLOW water that filled the ditch ran slowly into my boots and I shuddered as I realized I was alright. "It's almost impossible to steersomeone into the ditch on purpose," Eskeback had told me. I remember thinking somebody had done apretty good job. Eskeback estimates he has probably taught 500 people to make their first parachutejump in the last three years. "Probably less than 10 per cent of those have stayed with the sport," hesaid. "I think most of them try it because they've heard it is something fun to do, or they do it to provesomething to themselves." "Mostly I guess people either think we're crazy or they kind of look up to usfor having the guts.to do it," he said. "But the people who stay with it are here because they like tojump." .Eskeback, who has been teaching at the Ferndale center for three years, said there were anestimated 2 million parachute jumps made last year. Each year, he said, there are an average of 40accidental deaths, or one in every 50,000 jumps. Most are due to drowning or landing on powerlines.Eskeback teaches a class each Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Bellingham Airport. The cost of the first jumpis $45, or $40 for groups of six or more. "But anyone is welcome to come to the class," Eskeback said."We will have a movie which anyone can see. It might help them decide if parachuting is what they wantto do." READY FOR THE BIG FALL - What is he thinking as he prepares to plunge from an airplane,3000 feet above the ground, for the first time? DOWN AT LAST - Untangling himself from the briars, ScottJohnson says, "They say every landing you can walk away from is a good one' â€” even if you have toclimb out of a hole first to do it." RIGHT ON TARGET - Making his 74th jump, Jack Hanssen shows howto do it right, as he lands within the target circle. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, June 3,1975 ST*?! ,t! .sm.il .v.sbaouT AS needs reorganization 77ie /IS Board o/ Directors, like any efficient organization, must be specifically defined and aware of its obligations.Western's is not. First off, the Associated Students has no goals. There are none present in the by-laws, just revised by the present board for the first time in recent years. The by-laws say the AS shall enhance educational and recreational activities for students, and they shall provide services and activities forthe mutual assistance and benefit of the students. They also say the AS should represent all thestudents on campus for the college and the community. But all this says little or nothing and the entiresystem reek of vagueness. Next are the requirements for holding office. Virtually, there are none except to be a full-time student in good academic standing, and the president, in addition, must havecompleted two'calendar quarters of college work, only one of which has to be at Western. Theproblems most elected officials find when they assume office at Western is they don't know how thecommittee system functions, they're not familiar with the past policies of the councils they represent,they don't understand basic parliamentary procedure and, because the by-laws aren't specific, they're not sure what it is they're supposed to be doing. Most times, because of elected responsibilities andscholastic activities, there is no time to become familiar with these systems. Workshops for instruction,understanding and advice would be meaningful. To date there are none routinely planned for newlyelected AS officials. The entire process is lashed together spring quarter with a majority vote andsomehow expected to hang together and function effectively for an entire year afterwards. The AS needsobservation and input from both the public and the press. They must be continually confronted andquestioned. They need to know their effectiveness is not taken tor granted and that someone outthere cares what is going on. They should have unedited minutes of board meetings so there is a clearand precise public record available to anyone who is interested. They need a strong advisor â€” one who is capable of sound governing advise. One who can see a problem approaching and do something aboutit. One with enough credibility and authority that when suggestions are made they are givenconsideration and credence. Until the present system can be pulled together in an organized fashionand reconstructed until it becomes effective as a governing body, the AS board is useless. It is only a$224,000 operation that allows those elected to play politics, poorly at that, for one year. â€” Connie Tedrow Cluster colleges undersold The relationship between Western's cluster colleges and the CoUege ofArts and Sciences is in need of repair. Two of the cluster colleges, Huxley and Ethnic Studies, weredeveloped out of the current need for education in environmental sciences and ethnicity in society . . .two issues very important to today's students and tomorrow's teachers, parents, employers andsociety as a whole. But the full effectiveness of the cluster colleges is not being attained. Because of the colleges' lack of integration with the College of Arts and Sciences, not all Western students are gettingthis necessary education. Because cluster college credits are not accepted as general collegerequirement credits at the college of Arts and Sciences, most Arts and sciences students arediscouraged from taking cluster college courses. The only students benefiting from the cluster collegesare those with majors and minors in them. These students are already aware of the issues dealt with bythe cluster colleges. Many students will leave Western with no knowledge of the problems involving theenvironment and ethnicity. This situation typifies the relationship between the cluster colleges and theCollege of Arts and Sciences, both of which seem to be working in opposite directions. One reason whymany people of the College of Arts and sciences claim the College of Ethnic Studies is keeping a low-profile is because cluster colleges have been played down and pushed into a dark corner. Because ofimproper coordination of their curriculums, the cluster colleges' potentials are not being reached. What is needed is a definition of the roles and interrelationships of the cluster colleges and the College of Artsand Sciences. The themes of the cluster colleges have been acknowledged, but acceptance andsupport for them is nil. If Western's branches of education become less competitive and moresupportive of each other, then they will move a step closer to maximum effectiveness. Before morecluster colleges are established, students, faculty and administration of Western should reevaluateand improve the present situation of its cluster colleges. â€”Suki Dardarian ANN CARLSON ~J "Iconstantly hear people talking about Western being rated in Playboy magazine as a "party school." It this true? If so, what year, month, etc. J.P. The answer to the first part of the question is an emphatic "yes." Playboy has referred to Western as one of the top three party schools on the. West Coast. However, Ihaven't been too successful in finding the issue. ' - - . â€¢ , . I am lazy, true . . . but I did look for it. InWilson Library, in the very bowels, so to speak, well, anyway in a tiny room behind where the microfilm is kept, are piles of Playboy magazines; in no particular order.

The most frequent guess is that it is somewhere in the early 1960s . . . does anyoneknow?? ++ : : â€¢ . â€” â€” ; life on campus JEFFBETTINSON Western's big, bad, bathroom scandalhas caused many administrators to,h^ve flushed faces. The big stink arose when rumors trickled out ofthe dorms saying that little boys and girls were sharing bathrooms. Administrative officials attempted acover-up and said, "No little boys and girls share the same bathrooms on this campus." Thank goodnessr the fearless, crusading Western Front dared print the truth of the scandal. Since then, pressure fromhorrified parents and hostile legislators has sent administrators scurrying. Informed sources told me theyhave seen college officials spying and sniffing around the dorm's bathrooms. What they are looking for isanybody's guess. ^ Whatever, a recent Western Front reported, "It looks as though they're going to beseparating the boys from the girls next year â€” at least in the way of on-campus dorm bathroomfacilities." The Western Front also said bathrooms for each sex will be labeled. My friend Justushappaned to be in on a meeting where sex labeling for bathrooms was discussed. Justus told me: "Noneof our administrators knew what to do about this sex labeling thing." "Why is that?" I asked. "Well,"Justus said, "in order to separate the boys from the girls they have to put something on the bathroomdoors telling which is which. That's where the problem is.- "The administrators feel the dorm dwellers arejust a teeny bit more intelligent than the baboon. And anyway, hatnional test scores over the past tenyears show that many kids entering college can't read or write. How can you put up signs saying 'Girls'and 'Boys' if no one can read them?" "That is a problem," I said. "But why not put up pictures of a manand woman?" "They thought of that," Justus said, "Someone suggested putting a picture up of a womanin a dress with long hair. But, that won't work here. I mean, all the girls wear jeans and all the boys havelong hair." "But what about putting up a picture of a naked man and woman?" I said. "They thought ofthat too. They even hired an artist to come up with some sketches. He did, but the administrators decided they could never allow such filthy drawings to be placed on bathroom doors. "Well," I said, "What havethey decided to do?" "They have been left with no choice. They are going to do what's done in theOlympics. You will have to be inspected to determine your sex before entering a bathroom. The onlyproblem they had was finding an inspector." "Wouldn't it have been easier just to let everything as it wasbefore?" "What are you," Justus asked, "some kind of pervert?" With that he started walking away."Where are you going?" I asked. "Oh, I have a new job," Justus said. "I'm an inspector over in thedorms." letters Thanks for the memories Editor, Western Front: I would like to take a small space inthe Western Front, before I graduate, to say thanks to so many fine people I have come into contact with here. This is not to say Western is perfect, but that its goodness is so overwhelming that I refuse toidentify any of its shortcomings. There are those that deserve special notice and a sincere thanks for ajob well done. Among these persons are: the congenial women that work in the housing office, the cooks ana student help that work so hard to make the dining halls (especially lower campus) a good place toeat, the helpful people working in Wilson Library, Cal Mathews and the nice people in the admissionsoffice and all of the wonderful student and faculty I have met.

Intramural softball encourages male-female sexual stereotypes Better gear may not add 'love'- to your game Editor, Western Front: It still seems apparent that men are felt superior to women and that such stereotypes still exist on this campus. This was explicitlydemonstrated by the intramural softball procedures on May 28. Due to some mistake, four softballgames were scheduled on one field at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. This included an all men's divisiongame, an all women's division game and two co-rec division games. Since there are only three umpireson the intramural staff one game had to be canceled. Of course, the game to be canceled was the allwomen's division game. Not only that, but the 5 p.m. all-women's game was also canceled. Considering that many of the women's teams have only played one or two games, if that many, all quarter, where as the co-rec and men's teams have played many more than that, it seems only fair that the women'sdivision games should be allowed to play over the men's and co-rec games. But it seems as if theintramural office decided to follow the 10 Misc. for sale Garrard SL 72 turntable new Shure M91Ecartridge $75 call Kevin 734-2237 12 Real Estate Wanted a cabin near Bell-ingham.

At this level of tennis, expensive rackets of $50 are only valuable for boosting a player's ego. Even dedicated beginners should spend nomore than $20.

Jim Cannon Peter LeidigVarsity Tennis Change for educational need Editor, Western Front: The faculty of the College of EthnicStudies are aware of the issues now being negotiated by the University of Washington, involving Chicano demands for equal access to higher education. The evidence available to us suggests the firing of JuanSanchez and Gary Padilla and the suspension of Rosa Morales were willful and capricious. We havebeen particularly concerned with the resignations of Chicano faculty and administrators because of the effect upon the larger Chicano community in the state. The College of Ethnic Studies faculty suggestthat the Educational Opportunity Program and Academic Programs be restructured in terms ofChicano educational needs as these are defined by Chicanos. It also suggests Chicano faculty andadministrators be hired in the numbers that would provide professional opportunities for Chicanosand fulfill Chicano student and community needs. The inequality prompted by a hierarchical structureof authority, of cultures and people, is reflected in the development of academic programs and in themethod of selecting faculty. In such a structure there exists an adherence to forms when those forms no longer speak to educational needs for the coming years. Change cannot occur where the persistence of old structures and forms disallow it.

ROYTANAKA AFTER EIGHT YEARS as president, a vote of no-confidence from the faculty in 1972, budgetcuts and reduction-in-force policies, College President Charles J. Flora is saying goodby to the office."As of June 30, at 6 p.m., I will be a private citizen again. I can close my door on anyone and you'll havetrouble finding me," he said. Flora will spend the next school year on an administrative leave. He plans tostay out of the public eye and "do a lot of studying." "I've been away from the classroom for quite awhileand I've got a lot of catching up to do," he said. THEN â€” Flora as a young man Although he will returnto Western in 1977 as a member of the biology department, he will continue to maintain a low profile forone more year. "I don't in any way want to cause any inconvenience to the college or newadministration," he said. "I don't want the Flora administration to haunt the Olscamp administration.After that I'll become a regular member of the faculty, assuming positions at the discretion of thedepartment chairman." Looking back over his years in office, Flora said it is "wonderful" to be getting out. "I had originally planned to stay in office for a minimum of four years and a maximum of five," he said."But I realized that the college was in for some rough times. I wanted to see it through. "I feel I have done that. I have seen it through. The main job has been completed. Now it's time for someone else." THEFLORA ADMINISTRATION has been through some rough times and has had to absorb much criticism.But Flora doesn't mind. "I don't know what the attitudes of others will be after I'm out. I am aware thatsome people have been antagonistic, to ward the administration. But that's all a part of the job. Anycollege administrator should know that. "We've been through some terrible times and I've had to makesome brutal decisions. But I had to make those decisions and let the chips fall. I don't give a damn whatthey think." A college president who doesn't give a damn? "There are other things that are more important than what others think. Do I like myself? Have I made firm and honorable decisions? I don't care ifpeople like me or not. The more important question is: Do I like you?" Flora admits to being an"unorthodox" president. "I'm a short, fat, dumpy Italian. That's not in the image of a college president. Imilk cows, not to prove anything, but because I enjoy milking cows. People come out to my farm andsee me hauling manure and they say 'that's not what a college president is supposed to do.' But I'm justbeing me. "I did not become an 'administrator' when I took office. I continued to be myself. "I HAVEN'TBEEN a good administrator because I'm too blunt. I made enemies. College presidents aren't supposedto be like that. "You know, a lot of people become administrators because there's a lot of prestige inthe job. But for me, being college president was just another job. It wasn't the biggest think in my life. Ididn't seek glamor or prestige. In fact, I never cared much for what I did here. I just like this place and Ilike the people." Flora said he feels he will return to the faculty with an increased understanding ofadministration and its decisions. "Now I'm aware of the difficulties, strengths and limitations of anadministration. I hold administrators in high regard. I think they're among the most innovative andimaginative people around. "Being an administrator is a hard job. It should never be underestimated. For a few years I had a standing joke in this office. I'd go to my secretaries and say, 'Nobody told me it wasgoing to be that tough!' "And it is a tough job. The range of duties is mind-boggling! A president has toattend to n lt; problems ra difficult. An there is president He came "trepidat^p He saw We pronecamp through ei; What $pri leaves the the classroc proud, comr to get oufe gl NOW - ~ Controversyfills eight-year Flora term DUFF WILSON A STEPDOWN from the college presidency to a facultyposition was requested by Charles J. Flora shortly after faculty voted no confidence in his administration. "I have not been driven out by pressure," Flora said, but many faculty disagreed. Flora was embroiled incontroversy and criticism in spring 1972 at Western. A secret faculty poll in early June showed noconfidence in the president, by a vote of 208-182. This prompted the Faculty Council to vote noconfidence and call for Flora's resignation, by a 7-6 margin. Flora requested the stepdown later in 1972,in a secret, hand-written note he gave to Western's Board of Trustees. Only they and Flora's wife wereaware of that action. The trustees rejected his resignation then, and confirmed him in office,' statingpublicly in December that they had "entire confidence" in Flora and they hoped he would change hismind. FLORA EMPHASIZED last week "there was just no connection" between his resignation and thefaculty no-confidence vote, although "many people would like to come to that conclusion." The 1972dispute had overtones of a struggle with the faculty versus Flora and the trustees. The main criticismsleveled against Flora were: â€” general lack of internal leadership. â€” poor communication with thefaculty, administrative autocracy and "cronyism." â€” violating student publications policy by banningthe on-campus printing of a controversial issue of "Jeopardy," the student literary publication. â€”condoning an illegal act and succumbing to intimidation by conceding two faculty positions to the College of Ethnic Studies after 60 minority students occupied the administration building, Old Main, in spring1972. â€” low morale, low salaries and high student-faculty ratios. FIVE TOP STUDENT leaders sidedwith Flora during the no-confidence, controversy, in a June 1, 1972, statement to the trustees: ". . .Tolose his talents during this crucial time would be tragic . . . We always have known the president to dealopenly and justly with us . . ." Flora apparently just postponed his request, and the trustees accepted his resignation in May 1973, nearly a year after the original no:confidence vote. The resignation is effectiveJune 1975. The action came as a complete surprise to most of the Western community. Flora has beenWestern's president since March 21, 1968. He has served in both a period of great growth andexpectations, and troubled morale and anger at his administration. The president will return to teachingas a zoology professor in the biology department, the job- he held before joining the administration asacademic dean in 1965. Flora gained a reputation for being honest, blunt, good-humored andopinionated. Student /ecnc as time FOUR FACES OF FLORA â€” College President Charles J.

Fallquarter this year saw a major reshuffling of Western's administrative ranks. Early in the quarter it wasannounced that Ruth F. Werner would be the new dean of Huxley College. And look at it this way â€”Western's not losing a Flora, they're gaining an Olscamp. On November 13 it was announced that PaulJ. Olscamp would take College President Charles J. Flora's position on July 1. Flora will go back to hisfauna in the Biology department. Vice President for Academic Affairs Jerry Anderson resigned his postin December, calling his stay at Western "depressing."

And Flora, in his state of the college message, said Western needs a transfusion of fresh blood if it is to avoid the stagnation of100 per cent tenure. This fanned the flame of the already smoldering tenure issue. But Keith Jarrett,Wishbone Ash and the Flaming Zucchini were there to make the quarter a little less gloomy.

"What I plan to do first is to appoint a full-fledgedsearch committee to seek out a person for vice president of academic affairs," he said. Olscamp, whostated that he liked working with small numbers of people, added that "the committee will bereasonably small but representative of all areas of the community, including students." The committee'schoice, said Olscamp, should "demonstrate teaching and research ability and command academicpersonal repect of the faculty." When Olscamp becomes president July 1, Loren Webb will act astemporary vice president until the committee finds someone to fill his shoes â€” permanently. Also soonafter his arrival to Western, Olscamp claimed he would like to study the possibilities of establishing acollege of business and economics. EARLIER THIS MONTH, the Academic Coordinating Commissionapproved the proposal to upgrade the department of economics and business to a cluster college. Theirrecommendation now goes to the president and then to the Board of Trustees. In the wake of talk aboutWestern's "gloomy outlook," Olscamp had some positive things to say. "Everybody says that Western is falling to pieces. I see no evidence of this," he said, "Western has problems and will have problems, butit does have some good programs to offer." Olscamp claims he has no pre-meditated plans or programshe will initiate upon his arrival. "So much is dependent upon the situation when I arrive," he said. PAULOLSCAMP After being an instructor and assistant professor at Ohio State University, he becameassociate dean there in 1969. From there, he became vice-president for academic affairs, dean offaculties and a philosophy professor at Roosevelt University. Olscamp will come from SyracuseUniversity, New York, where he was executive assistant to the chancellor and philosophy professor andlater became vice chancellor for student programs.

"As faculty than students. He holds power over the faculty and members of hisadministration, so they develop a defensive, adversary relationship. "Olscamp will be up against anentrenched faculty with high power faculty politicians. They'll all try to get their particular views across tohim. He won't have the close ties and friendships inside the college that Flora has cultivated," Wilsonsaid. "He'll have to make them himself." "A person can effectively be a leader of a group only as long asthat group recognizes him as such," AS President-elect Stephen Barrett said. "Flora was not articulate in defending some of the decisions he made on critical issues. That lost him communication with thecollege community. "It's going to be very important for Olscamp to communicate with all theconstituencies of the college," Barrett said. "He must have an available ear for student input and be openin his plans for the direction of Western, especially to the students." AS Vice President Hugh Larkinsaid, "I've heard that Flora was elected because, being a past faculty member, people thought they knewwhat to expect of him. It will be different with Olscamp. "From the start it will be difficult for Olscamp tobe his own man. He'll be dealing with a very cliquish faculty, in that departments are close amongstthemselves, struggling for considerations," he said. "FLORA WAS very active on important issues, but considering other fiscal and policy decisions that must be made, student related policies tended to getless immediate attention," said Jeff Larsen, member of the college Services Council and past member ofthe All-College Senate. "In my dealings with him he seemed terribly paternalistic. He also has definiteproblems with the legislature. Wilson, once a legislative intern in Olympia, attributes this to a personalfeud between Flora and Rp. A.N. "Bud" Shinpock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee(Appropriations). "Olscamp struck me as being very capable and seemed more into student interestson a factual basis â€” not so much bullshit'," Larsen said. "He'll push for student representative on theBoard of Trustees. With his background, I think he could lead Western away from its liberal arts core." "I sense that he's an authoritarian, but I think he'll have to feel out his administration for a year of so beforehe can implement his new ideas," Larsen said. BARREN OFFICE, PLENTIFUL MIND â€” Acting VicePresident for Academic Affairs Loren Webb plans to make transition period for incoming college presidentPaul Olscamp as easy as possible. New vice president wants to implement policies of students, facultyand trustees LOUIE PHILLIPS ABOUT THE ONLY thing acting Vice President for Academic AffairsLoren Webb has in common with his predecessor, Jerry Anderson, is the shortness of his term. Webb,45, sat in his barren office Wednesday. He wore a short-sleeved white-and-baize striped sui: t with apaisley tie. His hair jutted from behind his ears. One arm was slung around the back of the chair. Theother reached to flick a cigarette ash or grab a cup of coffee. In contrast to Anderson who came from aMichigan school, Webb has been on campus 10 years. For six of those years, he has been director ofthe speech pathology and audiology program. Webb considers himself to be pro-faculty. Anderson wasknown for having squabbles with several faculty members. Webb has a different view of being anadministrator. "It's my belief the success or failure of Western revolves around the faculty, students andadministrators of this institution," Webb said. "I am for faculty. "I want to see myself as animplementer of policies as determined by the faculty, students and Board of Trustees." Webb hopes toget along well with all members of the college community during his one-year tenure. "My firstcommitment is to Western," Webb said. "I'm not going to use my position to build up speech pathology. I will put. college policy first and foremost. "I would like to think one of the reasons I was chosen is that Iam known for my objectivity." Webb said he does not anticipate having any problems taking on theacademic vice presidentship at the same time Paul Olscamp assumes college presidential duties. "MYFEELING IS that we will get along just fine. We are very compatible," Webb said. "I'm flexible. We willhave a good working relationship." Webb made this statement even though he has met Olscamp once, and that was only to shake his hand. However, Webb has often served against College PresidentCharles J. Flora as the 1970-71 Faculty Council chairman. Flora and Webb have a "mutual respect." Itwas Flora who accepted Webb's nomination from the Council of Deans. "I've always been comfortableworking with Flora," Webb said. He believes the same relationship will exist with Olscamp. "Olscampknows I just want to serve a single year," Webb said, referring to his July 1976 return to his department."I presume I was selected because I am someone from the campus that knows the campus so as tomake the transition easier." Webb, though on sabbatical, was on campus to familiarize himself with hisnew job. "I'm not expecting a honeymoon.

Michael Gwinn, Phillip Morgan and Jim Zeiger of Gab riel Gladstar arrived in Bellingham with their family of 15 in an old schoolbus in August 1973. They had been turned away from the Canadian borderon their wav to Vancouver from their home in Laguna Beach, Calif. Their next move was to settle inBellingham. In the 11 months they lived here, Gladstar became one of Bellingham's most popular bandsand completely changed the local music scene. Before Gladstar's arrival there were few places in townwhere good live music could be heard. This band broke the way for hundreds of other musicians whentwo local establishments began featuring live music after Gladstar became the first band to play on theirpremises. The concerts had a warm welcome back feeling. Gladstar was glad to be back in town and the audience greeted them like old friends. A relaxed atmosphere pervaded the lounge as people sat oncouches or on the carpet-covered floor, bathed in the red light of the setting sun shining through theroom's large picture windows. "This view reminds us of San Francisco," Gwinn said as he gazed out onto Bellingham Bay. Appropriately, '"Sunset* was the opening number that evening. Gwinn played lead onhis acoustic Gibson guitar as Morgan supplied his complex, powerful rhythms on his hollow-bodied guitar while Zeiger accompanied them on flute. Gladstar's style could best be called jazz-country. THEIRPIECES WERE of wide variety ranging from the quiet "Did I Hurt You?" with a single guitaraccompanying three voices to the intense, tightly-knit guitar dialogues between Morgan and Gwinn. Theyplayed their own compositions and some fine versions of such songs "Mr. Bo Jangles" and the Byrd's"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Woodwinds and guitars were the group's basic instrumentation. Zeiger playedeither a flute or chose from a selection or soprano, alto, and bass saxes. At times, he or Gwinn wouldplay the electric piano/organ. In addition to his acoustic guitar, Gwinn frequently played a black-bodiedelectric Gibson, occasionally switching leads with Morgan. Morgan would sometimes set aside his guitar to play a variety of small percussion instruments. MOON MUSIC - Phillip Morgan, Jim Zeiger andMichael Gwinn played their jazz-country music at their concert in the Viking Union lounge during therecent lunar eclipse. After the first hour-and-a-half set, the band took a ' moon break," giving everyone achance to observe the eclipse. The moon was a silver sliver as the concert ended at 1 a.m. after astanding ovation and an extended- encore. As Gladstar packed their equipment, several of the audiencecrowded the stage to express their appreciation. Later that day a train would take the three musiciansback to San Francisco. 'Jeopardy9 shines in art... lacks in writing BRUCE HAYES This year's"Jeopardy" is 140 pages of poetry, short stories and art work. Some of it is good, but, unfortunately,some of it is not. V The art is "Jeopardy's" best asset. A lovely color reproduction on the cover, "TheConservatory" by Bonnie E. Hammond. A whole rainbow of hues, deep reds, oranges, purples, blues,greens, yellows and intermediate shades swirl and twist to form fairytale foliage and a glassed building of plants and birds. Paintings, drawings of pencil and pen and ink, and etchings, appearing intermittentlythroughout the magazine, are expertly used, some abstractly, in portraits, nudes and landscapes. Inthe writing department, however, "Jeopardy" is lacking something. Some of the poems are, at times,evocative and reach out and grip the reader. Certain lines vividly use their words to form pictures of ameaning, perhaps not the author's, but is very clear. Some of the other poems, seem to have beenwritten as a joke, as though the author was saying how ridiculous can I get and still be mistaken for art? That may not be the intention, but it is the impression conveyed. College authors are pretentious.Some do attempt to say something in their work but a lack of real experience prevents them fromsaying it simply. Too often vulgarity and crudity are used to convey an idea when something less offen Free verse poetry is the most difficult to write. Without a formal guide it is easy to lapse from poetryinto parody, and that is what has happened in "Jeopardy." Fiction-wise, the magazine fares somewhatbetter. There is a tendency toward pessimism in the stories, but many of the characters are well-developed. If some of the situations are a bit pretentious, chalk it up to the writers' lack of experience.There are ideas that are fascinating. All they need are a few more years of development.

Art department te evaluate merits Members ofthe art department are concerned with how the department is run and a general overall outlook of thedepartment. All art studio, art education, art history and art minors are being asked to volunteer inanswering a questionnaire found near the art department office. Some of the questions asked range from "Have you always known what's been going on in the department?" to "Are you getting the kind ofcurriculum you want from the art department?" Other questions cover whether the student plans tocontinue at Western, drop out, or transfer and whether the classes are too crowded. It is hoped thequestionnaire will help shape the department in the future. events TODAY Poetry â€”Thomas IrvingDavis will read from his new book "Within the Sound of Water" at 4 p.m. in the Fairhaven Collegeauditorium.

These interests range from routine administrativetasks, to helping a veteran receive a loan, to giving advice on a personal problem, to arousing publicawareness in social ills. Jeremy Standen, veterans' representative, is responsible for the most importantfinancial services. He is the link with the veteran and the Veterans Administration office in Seattle. If, for instance, a student wishes to claim any additional dependents, Standen should be notified toarrange for the necessary change in benefits. His office is in Old Main 440. His office hours are from8:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Lorraine McGaw, of the Registrar's Office works hand inhand with Standen. She informs the Veterans Administration of any change of veteran status-credit hour change affecting benefits, etc. The League of Collegiate Veterans has several programs which haveproven valuable to veterans. The primary function of this organization is counseling. They offer advice onlegal, personal or benefit problems. A league representative said counseling concerning problemsrequiring administrative work is usually referred to Standen. Vietnam Veterans Against the War /Winter Soldier Organization, presently headed by Jim Johnson, is primarily concerned with publicawareness. Its scope is wide and varied. It strives, mostly through demonstration and leafleting, toarouse public support in their fight against social ills, and political and economic injustice. It will oftenmarch with other organizations in "support of mutual positions," Johnson said. VA representativesfrom the Seattle office said veteran enrollment has increased in colleges nationally. This increase,however, is not apparent at Western. The veteran enrollment has "stayed around 900," Standen said. The VA speculates the increase is due primarily to the increase in benefits and also the pooremployment situation in the country. Belly dancing: some just can't stomach it THE MYSTIC MUSIC ofthe Middle East, provided by a lone violin and ceramic bongo drum, sets the mood for the class.Teacher Shelley Nolan calls out the rhythm. She claps time with her four finger-cymbals: "Cross in, -cross in, click, click, click . . . left, right, left, right!" Now the tummies begin to sway in rhythm with thecymbals and the music and the arms start to do exotic things. Faster! Faster! The tempo is building up. The violin player is sitting cross-legged on a bare carpet. The eight women and their teacher continue to sway. The light smell of incense penetrates the small cozy room in the back of the Film Factory onState Street. The gathering is a beginning class in belly dancing, under the name of The Bou SaadaCenter of Middle Eastern Art. "As long as you keep moving to the music you can't make any mistakes," Nolan reassures the barefoot dancers. "I've seen people get out and dance and they do beautifully. Getthem into belly dancing and they can't do it." She said this is because they get uptight and relaxation is the chief ingredient in belly dancing. Nolan is interested in bringing this fine art to Bellingham but so farshe has met resistance from the townspeople. "They consider us hippies," Nolan said, "and they don'ttake us seriously." Nolan studied in San Francisco under "Jamila." She said in the Bay area there arehundreds of dancers so the jobs are scarce. In Bellingham, there are only three professional hellydancers, but because the townspeople don't really understand what it's all about, the jobs are just asscarce. Also, in San Francisco, men belly dance and they are good, Nolan said. Originally, the dancecame from Egypt. The Gawazele tribe was banished to the north of the country and both the men andwomen now earn their livings dancing. in I J THE BEST OF THE NEW YORK FESTIVAL OFWOMEN'S FILMS AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF EIGHT SHORT* FILMS MADE ENTIRELY BYWOMEN.

Early visions offall and football are on the minds of those working out in preparation for next season. The football teamhas been working out, running and weight lifting, since early in the quarter. And apathy would not^describe the enthusiasm of last fall's 2-7 team. "We have a different breed of guys coming back and Ithink we have something to prove. We can win games," Western lineman Dann- DeBellis said. DeBellisis a senior physical education major from Snohomish with one year eligibility left. "Everybody's beenkinda pushing each other and it's paying off," he said. "We're getting in shape and developing a positiveattitude." The team started weight workouts in a power lifting program. Power lifting is especially suited to build strength rapidly and add body weight. Several players (all backs and receivers) have had to switchprograms when body weight increases resulted in loss of speed. They have gone to a speed liftingprogram which* employs the use of lower weights with more repetitions of the exercises. Power liftingrequires working out with maximum bar weight at all times, with fewer reps. Three exercises arestressed: the dead life, squats and bench pressing. "It's going to take a group of guys who want to pulltogether as a team to win more games," DeBellis, who can dead lift over 500 pounds, said. "IT'SDIFFERENT HERE than at other schools. 0 Here we can't take~anything for granted; money, $ Jequipment, staff or anything, but' we have to get "gf; the most out of what we have." Â§ Linebacker BobTaylor, a senior from Ferndale ,Â© said, "People have asked me why I continue to play after the last fewlosing seasons. But I enjoy playing and I'm not going to quit just because we haven't won that manygames." Taylor is also a long jumper on the Western track team and is the defending District I long jump champion. Both Taylor and DeBellis feel that football here lacks enough money to adequately run theprogram. Their main dissatisfaction is the inability of the program to keep a coaching staff intact for two years in a row. "In my three years here we've only had one coach that's remained. That's Boyde Long.It's tough to build a team when, every season, different assistants are helping coach the team," Taylorsaid. Head coach Boyde Long has reported even though funding that he had hoped would let him hiretwo more assistants has failed to materialize, last year's assistants Don Wiseman and Bill Baker willreturn. "I've heard it said that Western considers itself an educational school first and above building upits athletics. But I think that's b.s.," Taylor said. "I think that's an image the school would like to project." "A LOT OF rumors condemning the football program have been started," DeBellis added, "by peoplewho have dropped out of the football program. "The truth of the matter is they were just not goodenough to make the team and want to tear it down to justify the fact they couldn't make it," he said.Both players also mentioned that lack of team leadership hurt the squad last year. Both plan to assumethat responsibility next fall. "Gilmore (Gary, who last year as a senior was an all-Evco and District Ilinebacker selection) tried, but he couldn't do it alone," they said. The two do not intend to finish theirathletic careers on a sour note.

I discovered this quarter, much to my surprise, that the students who produce this award-winningnewspaper are not the bunch of withering, sissy intellectuals I had envisionsed them to be. Havinganticipated disaster when I was roped into being player-coach for the Western Front co-rec intramuralsoftball team, it was a relief to know that my first attempt at a coaching career has been a winningsuccess (due largely to an incredible number of teams that forfeited to us). "They are just scared of us,"maintains our star right fielder, Suki Dardarian. My teammates spend most of their time in thedungeonous newsroom, seeing daylight only on those rare occasions when they lurk through theshadows to cross campus for classes in the basement of Arntzen Hall. I wasn't sure what effect the great outdoors would have on them â€” they went bananas. It soon became a pre-game ritual to gather in theFront office and wait for our pitcher Connie Tedrow, the Knute Rockne of mushball, to begin psyching upthe team. Tedrow starts by pounding everyone she sees on the back and whispering -. a faint word ofencouragement. As the crowd grows in the newsroom, we form a huddle and Tedrow says to the fourtoken women that must be on the field in co-rec play, "Are you ready ladies?" "YES, YES, YES, we'll doour best!" we reply in high, squeaky voices. "Now men," Tedrow says in a stern voice while alternatelyscowling and crossing her eyes, "what is the key word?" "Go, go, go!" they gruff back. "Aw come on you guys," she says, jabbing her hands deep into her pockets and looking irritated. "You gotta be tougherthan this if you want to win." It gets suddenly quiet. "But I thought we were playing just for fun," objectsGreg "the Leggs" Cohen. "Who said anything about winning?" "Look you dummy," snaps our usuallyphilosophical shortstop, Keith Olson. "In my opinion there is a scientifically-proven direct correlationbetween winning and having fun so quit being so damned idealistic." "Enough of this foolishness,"Tedrow bellows. "Go out there and stab them in the back, wring their necks and beat their heads in!"Tedrow throws a typewriter to warm up her pitching arm, and the fervor begins. We dash out the backdoor and pile into the back of catcher Dick Milne's pickup truck and bomb over to the field while 20 of uswildly scream "Kill, kill, kill!" "Kill!" Tedrow whails, laughing hysterically. "For the glory of the Front!" MYVOTE FOR Most Valuable Player goes to our first baseman Dennis Ritchie, who has had to take a lot ofvalid criticism for his conduct. In our first game, we played his girlfriend's team and on her first turn at batshe collided with Ritchie at the base. Consequently, they have had to suffer innumerable . "Well, you-finally-got-to-firstrbase, huh Ritchie" jokes. The Most Impoved Player Award would have to go to MarnieNiece's fill-in at second base, Becky Fox. At the beginning of the season, anybody in a body cast oncrutches with their hands tied behind their back could have thrown better than her. But "the Fox" got ittogether and after her first successful play at second she waved the ball in the air, squealed and lookedgleeful for over a week. We've actually won some games without the aid of a forfeit but I've earned theimage as team pessimist. While my teammates are patting themselves and each other on the back, I'musually off in a corner mumbling, "We only won because they were handicapped with more womenplayers," drawing.the wrath of my liberated sisters. To make a long story short, we might make the play-offs if the play-offs ever get organized. And as our versatile star Rick Donker, who is content at anyposition except benchwarmer, always says, "It could be Hell!"

XIX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 NO. 41 DR. PAYNE LECTURES EE EDUCATIONAL The first three lectures of a series to last until the end of this week has been given in the Normal auditorium by Dr. Payne of the Government Educational Extension Department. A fair estimate of Dr. Payne's worth as a lecturer can .be drawn from these first three lectures. The- first of the series, given on Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock was an illustrated lecture on Hawaii. There was shown the rapid development of the Hawaiians in civilization. In 1825 they were a savage people, and today they are honored, thriving and modern. Most of the natives speak English,' and their universities are attended by people from all over the world because of their excellency. There still exists in Hawaii a great class distinction. There are still the people of noble birth and the contrast in' their habitations with those of the natives is striking. In all, the Hawaiians are a friendly people and that means a great deal. The pictures shown were beautiful, and Dr. Payne had won his audience by clear, vivid explanation. The second lecture was on the Turk. " He is a good fellow," Dr. Payne said, "when he isn't killing somebody." The beautiful scenes that followed were colored by the blood of the Turkish victims. Their history is one of the sword, but the Turk, in business dealings is very trustworthy. The women of Turkey are married before they are sixteen years of age, and, from then on, they are the slaves of their husbands. There is much that is beautiful in the religion of Mohammed, but it is enforced by blood and brutality. Constantinople is the dirtiest city in the world. The Turk, himself, is clean but his streets are narrow dump alleys. Upon these dirty passages is found every nationality in the world. On Tuesday at 1 o'clock the third lecture was given. The subject was "America as a World Nation." It was not illustrated. " "We Americans," Dr. Payne said, (Continued on page 2.) dHllllllllllllUlllllllllltllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItlllllllHIIItlllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllltIt = JIIIIII|IHIIIIIIIIIHinillllllHIIIIIIIIIIIHillllllllltllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU = II SCHOOL PHYSICIAN II Office hours 9:30 to 12:00 A.

Most students like the poems by Noyes and " The Highwayman," representing Romanticism, is a favorite. The story is of a young French highwayman and a beautiful girl. Rather than have him fall into the hands of the British soldiers who have bound her and placed a musket in her hands, she sacrifices her own life. Filled with sorrow he takes his life. The' poem closes with a weird suggestion that to this day the Highwayman comes riding to meet the girl. The second reading, "John W. Jones," .Avas one of those simple but wonderful mixtures of humor and pathos that appeal so strongly to human nature, and represented Idealism. J. "W. Jones was the homeliest man in town but 'through his sincerity and many acts of kindness the people of the town forgot his homeliness and remembered only " Handsome is as handsome does." It was impossible to listen to the reader and not appreciate the Hbeauty and expression of these poems. . Mr. Parrish responded to the enthusiastic encoring of the audience with a bit of serious advice, . humorously given, to both the girls and the men. The seudents reluctantly stopped their second attempt to encore the reader, only when Dr. Nash rose to make the announcements. We hope Mr. Parish will find it convenient to read for us again T WITH PROF. PRAH . Bak^r Annual Excursion an Event in History of B.S.N.S. THE CHURCH MOUXTAIXT CLIMB Immediately upon our arrival at Glacier about eighty began the ascent of Church Mountain. The first stretch which might be likened unto Sahara desert was crossed with a great deal of vim. Just before negotiating the steeper ascent the mighty Brown struck the rock with his staff and we all quaffed freely of aqua. The climb from here to Bridal Veil Falls was quite uneventful except for the fact that Mr. Bond kept flitting from one end of the line to the other speaking words of cheer to faltering pil- (Continued on page 6.) The Wednesday's assembly was taken on a tour through Paris by Professor Pratt, who served in the sight-seeing corps of the Y. M. C. A. in that great French city before and after the armistice was sjgned. The scenes displayed were enriched by stories of personal experiences and a brief history of the buildings or places that were shown. Professor Pratt, in an introduction before showing and explaining the pictures, said: "The boys of our A. E. F. poured into Paris either for pleasure or to study the architecture. Indeed, (Continued on pagre 2.) , ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 DR. PAYNE LECTURES WERE EDUCATIONAL (Continued from page 1.) "have a superior feeling over all nations in the world. We must not forget, my friends, that many nations surpass us in many ways and we must learn to appreciate them all. Allow no person to prejudice you against any of your neighbors'. But, after looking at all of the countries of the world, I can come back and say that my greatest blessing is to be an American. The greatest job an Americans has today is to be a first class American. First of all he must be a gentleman. Then he must be intelligent, any other man can be ignorant but an American can not be. He must be filled with religion, to be an American he must be a Christian first, to think that he can get along without it is a mistake. If the greatest thing is not to be an American it is to be a teacher of Americans. My friends, I give, you my word of testimony, I am an old scholar, I have traveled over a million miles and lived with over forty different people and I would rather be an American citizen than the king of any other nation in the world. " Our land is the richest and the finest in the world, we have the most exquisite scenery in the world. Just take a journey through Yellowstone Park, through Yosemite Valley or the Grand Canyon, can they show you anything to compare with it any other place? For twenty-six million years, God Almighty has been getting this place ready for America. "America is not only a land of beauty and wonder, but of usefulness as well. We can raise more on our land than any other land in the world. Our mountains are nothing but store houses of treasures. We could supply all of Europe, as well as ourselves, with necessities and we did supply them during the World War. That is the bigness of the heart of America. God has given to you and to me one of the richest things in the world and perhaps of many other worlds, too. For thousands of years Europe has been filled with millions of wriggling, hungry humans while America was filled with all its richness. God held all this until by and by He would try the making of a new nation, a new world. " First the Spainiards came to our country for the sake of plunder and they failed. Then came the Puritans looking for a greater soul and with prayer dedicated their new found land to liberty and righteousness, and they stayed. For one hundred and fifty years they struggled with starvation, cold and death. They bled for seven for liberty from the mother country, for the liberty that you enjoy — your freedom. " That is only a little part of the making of America," Dr. Payne continued. " We do not all come from the Pilgrims, but we are, pei'haps, some of the jumble, some of the conglomeration that has gone through the melting pot. Just as the Pilgrims were made welcome, so has America continued through the years to welcome the oppressed of all the world. Some have been narrow, hating everybody, some of them a Judas among us, some come for better living, to be a man, some come for education, some for money, some for service to share in the making of better America. Like that they have come, my friends. They have put their blood, their brains, their hearts into America, making a vision that stretches around the world, making a heart, the bigness of which can not be estimated. It has made America as holy as the Holy Land ever was. Born under the leadership of a Mighty God, would you dare to be unworthy in a land like this? Would you dare to besmirge the character of America, to betray the trust for personal or political gain? Our country with its church ,its school, its sense of righteousness. That is only another way of saying that we have a universally divine genius for doing the things of life. " We have always had some American leaders with a great heart. George Washington with his love of freedom; Abraham Lincoln, if God gave Moses to Israel, He gave Abraham Lincoln to America; Theodore Roosevelt, with his calling men to the square deal. All men blunder but' these have a mighty soul. Another mighty soul, with many faults perhaps, but whose voice and vision shall ring through the ages, is our own President Wilson — God bless him. " There was never a time like this, we are living in an awful age, we need the greatness, the loyalty; let us never take second place. Oh, my friends, we are the making of the America of tomorrow. You teachers, you have a glorious thing to do. Put a mark of God on your brow, let America be God's nation! Fling out Old Glory to be the leader of humanity, the servant of all, and God bless you as you go." Dr. Payne is like a rainbow, coloring his lectures, a covenant between God and man. We could not stay away from the remainder of his lectures even if we wanted to. THROUGH PARIS WITH PROF. PRATT (Continued from page 1.) it was a study worth while. Paris is just dotted with various degrees and ages of architecture. Paris is one of the finest cities in the world; it is fascinating, soft, beautiful. There are more intelligent people gathered together at one time in Paris than any other place in the world. I want to make the purpose of these lectures a promotion of civic beauty. I use Paris as an example, where they make parks everyplace for human happiness, where they have more sculpture, more art, more beauty than any other city. The average Frenchman would rather talk art than politics, and he is mightily fond of politics." The rest was told with pictures and at the close each one felt the need of America stronger, more personally than ever. FOR THE STORY-TELLER All teachers of children's literature should examine the fine line of story books Mr. Baughman is now carrying. No teacher should leave this institution without adding to his own library some of the choice collections now on display in the book store. This is your opportunity to provide for future need and to enrich and enlarge your fund of stories. And perhaps you have not stopped to think that it is also the best opportunity you may have for a long while to make a collection of worth-while pictures for teaching literature and language to little children. Mr. Baughman will accommodate you and assist you in making your orders. Remember that the right teaching of literature is both an art and a science — you must have equipment.

C. Lease, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, will address the student body Friday, July 23. A girl can easily work for her board, or at least partly, while at school. There are places at the dormitory or in the school cafeteria. I have myself worked in the W. H. S. cafeteria and I liked it more than any other work I ever had. While I was in the cafeteria I received better grades in my work, because I had to do most of it at home. The gymnasium class at 2 o'clock is a circus in itself. After watching Mr. Carver gracefully perform on the trapeze with all the ease of a monkey, we manfully scramble up to the dizzy perch, then closing our eyes and taking a deep breath we launch off into space. What a sensation! Somehow we always manage to come down very quickly, and not often gently. But we have hopes, and if we can avoid getting broken necks we will be human monkeys in a few years. •— C. L. GRAHAM Miss Edith Froom, a Normal graduate who is at present connected with the Bellingham city schools, was among the excursionists that attempted Church Mountain last Saturday. Miss Stella Lowry, who graduated from B. S. NY S. in May, with her sister, hiked from Chehalis to the top of Mt. Rainier, a distance of about 250 miles. About one hundred and fifty students enjoyed the excursion to Glacier Saturday. It was an ideal day for hiking and climbing and everyone reported a lovely time. Dr. Chas. A. Payne, lecturer for the National University Extension Bureau, gave an interesting and instructive lec-lure on "The Land of the Turk" at Monday's assembly. A feature of the last half of the summer term will be weekly play evenings held at the school under the direction of Mr. Carver and Miss Long. Say! Don't you know there are three fine tennis courts out there on the training school side, or have you just forgotten it? Those courts ought to be so j gt;opular that three sets of doubles could be in " full swing" all the time, except, by the way, assembly periods. There's nothing like tennis to set the blood tingling, the muscles working, yes, and the hair flying. So, put on your tennis shoes, arm yourselves with tennis racquets and let's hie ourselves to the tennis court. My first serve! Ready!

Plass hiked Saturday to Sylvan Gove on Lake Whatcom. The Mt. Baker excursion trip was a very delightful one and every one reports having had a splendid time. We are living in hopes of another such trip. Out of a few over one hundred who started on the Church mountain trail, there were about twenty-five who reached the top. Those of us who reached the top felt well paid when we found snow for which we were looking, and do not regret taking the trip, although we felt the effects of the climbing the next day. Some of us thought ice cream never did taste so good as it did when we arrived at the train, and on our way home the whole crowd of us enjoyed ourselves very much. There was some singing and a few little games played and some of the boys helped to entertain the crowd by trying to .sell newspapers, ice cream, popcorn, candy, etc., and playing the conductor, calling off the stations and telling where to change cars. We cordially invite everyone to share the enjoyment and entertainment of the next trip. Everyone who attended assembly last Friday morning was delighted to hear Mr. Parrish's readings. Faculty Notes Miss Druse, Mrs. Johnson, Miss Beach and Miss Pickard spent the week end in Seattle. Mr. Philippi left for New York to attend a conference of Social Hygiene at the Technical College, under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board, of Washington, D. C. Miss Woodard, Dr. Miller, Mr. Bond, Miss Longley, Miss Mann, Miss McDonald, Miss Bell and Mr. Kibbe were the faculty members who ventured on the Mt. Baker trip Saturday. WHATCOxM FALLS When we read of such people as Lieutenant Waverly who deliberately murdered his young wife, or of Clarence Johnson, who slew his benefactress, we almost hesitate to think of the punishment that should be meted out to them. We wonder, too, if a suitable .punish- One evening this summer, my .room was hot, I had several hours of reading and studying to do, and I was feeling discouraged — almost wishing I hadn't come to Normal during the regular vacation time. However, as all this unpleasantness was upon me, one of the girls came in and suggested going out to Whatcom Falls to study. We went. A feeling of rest came over me as we were riding along on the Lake car; a cool breeze coming in through the open windows made me feel much better. As we entered the little park everything suggested quietness and rest. We walked clown to the water's edge where we could see the falls, and sat down on a huge boulder. The noise of the rushing water wasn't noise to us—it suggested some hidden power — it made you feel as well as see. nature, it made you know there was much good in this world, it made you wish all kinds f good things for all your friends, and it carried your thoughts to home and mother.

"When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, When the bear got over the mountain, The other side was all he could see." The Normal went over the mountain, but many grand and glorious things it did see. Why do people so exert themselves? Do we strive and battle with such an undertaking for the sake of victory in rivalry? Do the people who ascend Church or Lookout Mountains have the sole purpose of reaching the top? If such were the case, I fear we would find no; well worn path up these steep inclines; nay, nor any other. By the sweat of our brow we toil to achieve a little higher pinnacle in order to have a better perspective, and each time when veiwing it we have a feeling of dissatisfaction and turn to climb to the next point. At last we reach the summit where we can see the great beyond. Our feeling of rapture is expressed by one word — " Oh! " After drinking of what is before us, we turn and reflect on what is behind. We pause a moment in the grandeur of the summit and then descend. The true cycle of life. SHOE CLEARANCE A sale of shoes of vital importance to every woman or child in Bellingham or the immediate vicinity, involving superior grades of Oxfords, Pumps and High Shoes.

MONTAGUE McHUGH Incorporated WHERE QUALITY MEETS' THE SECOND MILE " If a man require of thee one mile, go with him twain." Harry Emerson Fosdick gives us the most beautiful side of this thought. There is no compulsion in pleasurable service. We feel it our duty to do a thing, but. going only so far as we are obliged. We thus miss the pleasure unless we add our measure of unasked service — the second mile. If we stop at the end of the first mile then duty is pur master and not our servant.

Listen, observe, examine and imagine when next you think of your trouble, lo! it has dwindled to a mole hill and the blues are gone. WORK AND PLAY dents who play and have no time for work; there are other students who know the meaning of " all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," or "All play and no work gives Jane a low grade." . There must of course be a great deal of conscientious study, if students are later to teacli facts to little children and understand child nature. But a great deal more than this is expected of the teacher. First of all, she must share the children's fun. It is her business to see that the schoolroom,.is not a place where they will dread t o ' come, but rather a place where joy and sunshine go hand in hand with work. The student who finds time for much real pleasure along with her work, will find time as a teacher for pleasure with the children. of the darkness which has preceded it. In the night we sleep but with the first ray of dawn life begins its real activity. Heed not commands from out of the darkness; wait until the light shows the speaker's face. THAT DAY WHEN "Eat, drink and be merry." Excellent advice. Have as good a time as the law allows. Play hard and be happy, but remember, the day of reckoning is hovering in the distance. Some day as we frolic along our rollicking way, we'll overtake it. And then we'll pay! Pay! Pay! Oh, well, who cares? It's in the distance. We're too near-sighted from gazing at the pleasures about us to see the grim distance. We'll continue to play till that day when — And then we'll pay! • — B. C.

Whether that darkness be atmospherical or mental, it is the same today, tomorrow arid forever. Light shines on, leaving never a trace MOUNTAIN CLIMBING Did yon ever start out.in the morning to climb Mt.' Baker with a feeling of conquering the world? The sun was just beginning to tinge the east with color, and it seemed there was enough freshness and coolness in the world to last a thousand years. You tied on your pack and fairly ran up the first little hill, so eager were you to be the first to the top. But soon you began to puff and pant like a Ford with no gas, and to wish that some of the coolness at the bottom of the mountain would please rise. Next thing you know there is a sore spot on your heel, or your whole foot and then some. But you keep on and finally get there to gaze around at the world below: Is it worth while ? Well I guess, for truly " Beyond the Alps lies Italy." • ~ BE CONTENTED The great secret of contentment is to get out of each moment all that satisfaction it holds. It is a great mistake for one to waste time in restlessly looking for what the next moment may bring. I have seen people traveling or walking who never enjoyed or hardly saw the things they had come to see, besause they were always planning what they were to do next. This is the same thing that occurs in our clas srooms, waiting until the bell rings, planning what tc do next and not noticing what tilings they are to accomplish. There are people whose minds are occupied all winter with the summer's plans and all summer with the winter's, plans. They never really live at all. Mothers and teachers should teach the children not only to be quiet and contented, but to seem so. They should be taught to give their whole attention to what they are doing, even if it were talking with a friend. — M. X. TENNIS In two weeks we are going to stage the tennis tournament for school championship honors. Is everybody ready? If you don't know how to play just join one of the tennis classes and in a couple weeks' time you may develop into an expert and win a letter. If you do know how to play, maybe you'd better get out and practice up a little. There will be contests in men's singles and doubles, ladies' singles and doubles and mixed doubles. Select your partners now and let's all sign up when the tournament call is sounded. You never can tell who'll win — so let's all try. — BABE •:• BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building Gladys and Nina Roach paid Mrs. Bever a prolonged visit at the hospital Saturday.

Fried bacon, potatoes, pickles, mince pie four inches thick and some of that coffee that is known only to the boys and their friends, made up the bill of fare. Pruner visited the Great Northern station again Sunday afternoon. We understand that Wiseman, our ball player, was in Sedro-Woolley over the week end, again. Some day we will find out why and let you know. Since Bartruff left our castle " Mac " has been a very good boy. As far as we know he hasn't gone to bed later than 1:30 A. M. for over a week. Keep it up, "Mac." Owing to a misunderstanding we forgot to mention our party that was held nearly two weeks ago. As this was such a " success" in every way fe feel it our duty to do so now. Friday, July 9th, we entertained a group of our friends. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and everyone left at an " early" hour, hoping we would entertain again soon. We wish to thank our housemother, Mrs. Lynch, for her help in turning failure into success. There may be better hostesses than she, but we are " from Missouri." GEROLD HOUSE Etta Valentine and Myrtle and Maude Sexton spent Sunday in Vancouver, B. C. Mable Lewis spent the week end at Custer, Washington, and Lois Pickard in Seattle. Sunday afternoon several of the girls went to Dr. Payne's lecture at Elizabeth Park, after which we enjoyed a walk through the park taking " snap shots." —VERA ROCENE HARRISON HOUSE Welcome!

Come again, Mr. Stevens., and bring some more eats. Jeanette Gilniore, of Ten Mile, spent the week end at home. Elizabeth and Ellen Wesen spent the week with Anna Taube. They also took part in climbing Mt. Baker. We all think that those who climbed Mt. Church should get one credit in Physical Ed. The three piker's of our house who could not go on the Glacier trip were Mrs. Crane, Miss Morgan and Beryl White. NICHOLS HALL Alice Satre, Gertrude Reese and Anna Keating enjoyed a picnic dinner at Fern-dale Sunday. Elva Neander spent the week end at her home in Seattle. Esther Gunderson and Myrtle Loe were, dinner guests of Alice Sater and Gertrude Reese, Wednesday evening. Laura Bangle and Esther Olson spent the week end at the former's home in Nooksack. Anna Keating and Gertrude Reese returned home Saturday evening after a most delightful trip to Glacier, tired but rhappy and full of interesting tales of "jtheir climb up Church Mountain. Vera Dunbar and Narcissa Collins spent the week end at Vera's home at Mount Vernon. Calista Washburn enjoyed a visit from her mother, Mrs. Washburn, and her aunt, Mrs. Lewis, this week end. Clara Sachtler spent the. week end with friends at Ferndale. Amy Jones left this week for her home in Cashmere, after spending some time with her sister, Ada.

No. " 13" is lucky so far as rushing " Peanut Gallery " is concerned. Mrs. Miller, of the Y. W. C. A., conducted the Bible Study out on the lawn this Wednesday. Saturday morning there were eight ambitious, active, happy girls arose bright and early and started on the Glacier trip. We all climbed Church Mountain with the exception of Bee Bumford and Lillie Becken. Poor girls! They got lost on the lonely mountain side and could not find the rest of the hikers. The best part of it was — they had most of the lunch. Saturday night about 9:00 o'clock there were eight tired, sunburned and dusty girls climbed the stairs and decided to retire early. We all voted that it was the best time ever, though. Laura Sterling, who went to her home in Seattle last Friday, is reported to be very ill. We hope to see her among us soon. Helen Matson is a full-fledged " Rural Lifer" now. She was initiated last Thursday night. Frances Gallacher, her roommate, did all she. could to initiate her properly. Helen Matson's parents motored to Bellingham Sunday, taking Helen home with them. She came back Monday A. M. and told us all about the "ham and eggs" she had for breakfast. Wasn't she cruel? Myrtle, Olga and Frances were at Whatcom Falls Sunday P. M. Lillie Becken was a guest at a chicken dinner at the home of friends in Bellingham on Sunday. Some of our girls who are going to take teacher's examinations have organized a review class which meets every evening. The girls gain lots of help in this way. Clara Jenson and Clara Willard were visitors at Jenkins Hall on Sunday evening. Helen was real happy last night. She received two letters yesterday morning so they probably could explain if they could talk. . FIVE-2-FIVE Life has been worth living here for the past week. Birthdays and boxes helped out. Edna Leatherwood passed another milestone last Wednesday and her sister, Amanda, came to help her celebrate, bringing a grip of good eats with her. Edna and Amanda with Ola Haysom, Mertle Major and Helen Edwards to help them went to the beach to test Amanda's cookery, and oh, how good it. was after a dip in the bay. The food was worth the justice rendered it. The following day, Audrey Mackey received a box containing wonders. Still another box came for Mertle Major Monday and proved that another sister can cook. We were glad these girls were so generous with their cakes. The week end was filled with welcome events. Merle Annis and Geneva Pra-ther had an auto ride to Sultan, their home. Gertrude Jackson visited friends and also visited Birch Bay for entertainment. Ola Haysom was carried off to Ever-son one evening. Georgia McKenzie visited one of her host of friends this time near Marietta. Eugenia Ellis had a friend, Bertha Sundeen, with her, who came up for the Baker trip. Bertha went with her sister to Nooksack Falls and keenly enjoyed her day. The Baker trip entirely overshadowed other things for two members of our house. Helen Edwards and Mertle Major with Frances Wingfield and another friend, landed at Glacier with a train full of other Normalites. They chose Baker. Trail as most promising, having scaled Church in past summers. If anyone wants a trip that has beauty and cool comfort every step of the way, take the Baker Trail through a western forest of moss-hung trees. Take it not too fast to enjoy it, but follow a stream if you wish, as they did. The trail leads on to the mountain peak itself, but this group called a halt at a beautiful falls and after a feast of berries hurried back down grade to a scrumptious picnic dinner waiting at Glacier. This Baker trip is our last item, but Avas not least in real experience. Ask Mertle or Helen. EDENS HALL Have you heard -of. the "Pancake Club"? They're good — those cakes•— and we had a very happy Sunday with such a satisfying starter. The finish was mighty good, too — birthday cake at Squalicum. Ruth Ogren was kind enough to furnish the birthday. Min Bergstrom and Margaret Lewis surprised the crowd by presenting the cake decorated with streamers to which gifts for each one were attached. Ruth McLeod enjoyed the week end at her home in Langley. Hazel Berger was a guest at the wedding of Miss Maude Elliott in Seattle on Friday evening. She returned Monday morning. Anna Myer and Bertha Haines entertained a few of the girls at Sunday evening supper. An impromptu " orchestra " delighted the group with several numbers. Miss Woodard, Ethel Claypoole, Willie Wood, Margaret Heimdahl, Ellen Ab-rams and Vyra Ullfers survived, we are happy to state, the Mt. Baker trip. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE OF SHANLY The Glacier trip has come and gone but according to Lois Van Houton and Irene Johnson, the effects of it are with us yet. Thunder and lightning! Sunday evening Irene Johnson was forced to wait patiently on the wrong side of Lake Whatcom for the storm to pass away, Daisy Blue and Dorothy Scheel spent Sunday afternoon with Mrs. Charles Yule, of Bellingham. Cherries, big and black and luscious! Girls can too climb trees. Who says they can't? CEDARS For sale or exchange — One heel adorned with a healthy, flourishing blister about one inch long and half as wide. One pair of knees which creak badly if moved suddenly. One elbow which was used as a skee in the descent of Church Mountain and became slightly damaged therefrom. One well-done (sunburned) neck, fat, to trade for a thin one. Maybe a thin one wouldn't be so hard to keep in the shade! These are a few of the adjustments which we would like made since our trip to Glacier and points adjacent, last Saturday. v But sore heads ? No, not one! Is everybody happy? Of course. Was it worth while? A hundred times YES. And, please note, a Cedarite was the very first girl to the top of Church. So that our athletic development may not be limited to hiking, Emma is taking up tennis and swimming. One of her feature stunts is to stand with her back to the water and deliberately fall in. This is very hard on the other poor fishes who happen to be near, but it's great sport for Emma. Miss Effie Garritson, Edna and Nellie Morris' aunt from Kokomo, Indiana, has been visiting relatives out here. Saturday she enjoyed the hike with us. Dora Andrus, from Seattle, spent a few days with Bertha Gould. — HELEST LEMXEY BERNICE HALL There are two new fellows at Bernice Hall now, "Bill" Horst and "Hank" Patey. We were all sorry to see Mr. Gil-breath leave. The Waffle Club is progressing nicely. We have one or two initiation nights each week. The other evening Mr. Roe was in swimming down at the beach. It started to rain, so Roe, afraid of getting his bathing' suit wet, ran for the nearest shelter. Have you heard about the cave man adventures of Mr. Brown on Church Mountain? It's more exciting than the episode entitled, " Sultan Happy Brown, of Omarscow." We notice that Mr. Bowsher is now taking a course in campustry. Why is it that we so seldom see him alone now? Dan Johnston has been showing us some tricks that he learned from some " educators down in a pool hall." Thank you for your attention. That's all. —J. H. GRIGGS BEVER HOUSE Frances Erickson spent the week end at her home in Everett, returning to our humble roof Sunday evening. She says it was hard to break away, but Normal ties are strong, you know. Victoria has posed as a martyr to a splendid cause since Saturday night. Her blisters and stiff limbs testify to the fact that she reached the very top of Church Mountain. Elizabeth Delduca also made the top and without any serious injuries. Oza and Anita have not decided as yet who climbed the furtherest but each did her share not missing any of the wonderful scenery which one revels in while climbing Church Mountain. Jessie and Dorothy kept the home fires burning while we " younger " members of the happy family climbed and sweat and climbed some more with the school " excursioners." Glennie McBain visited over the week end with Erma Keeney at the home of the latter's grandmother in Ferndale. We have heard most thrilling reports of good eats, splendid fun, etc. Oza Myers, not being completely overcome by the activities of Saturday, visited at Birch Bay Sunday with Mabel Calhoun. Elizabeth Delduca visited Sunday at the home of Mrs. Genevieve Smith, of this city. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1920 July 23 - Page 6 ---------- 6 ! THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1920 MT. BAKER ANNUAL EXCURSION AN EVENT IN HISTORY O FB. S. N. (Continued from page i.) grims. The one thing that the writer marvels at is that human beings can consume so much water. On our arrival at the Falls some partook of sumptious repasts which adequately satisfied ravenous appetites. The odor of boiling coffee and roasting weinies is one not soon to be forgotten. Many, however did not lunch until after having reached the top. The view from the meadows was one which inspired awe and Avonder. Still more wonderful was the scenery from the topmost pinnacle of Church Mountain with Mt. Baker on one side, range upon range of mountains on the other, and snow underneath. The weary pilgrims who had toiled'so faithfully over the last grinding mile certainly felt that the reward was ample. Each climber was loathe to turn back as he cast one longing look over the vast expanse of God's handiwork. And so with a little song of peace in our hearts we plunged from the Meadows in the sweet scented evergreens to emerge, only too soon, into the sunlight of every day affairs again. LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN TBIP The 1920 Glacier excursion is now a thing of the1 past, but there are many pleasant memories for those of the group who went to Lookout Mountain. We had intended going to Roosevelt Glacier but when the trail divided every one took the wrong one. We had scarcely started when the party began to separate and those used to mountain hiking forged on ahead. When we reached the top everyone felt repaid for the three hour climb, for the view of Mt. Baker was magnificent. After a' short rest we went down .the hill to a small snow field. The whole party indulged in a snow battle to the accompaniment of clicking cameras. Mr. Kibbe has an excellent picture of the equator at close range. On the west slope of the mountain there was a small snow field and everybody indulged in a slide. Mr. Bancroft made a quick descent and collided with a log. At 2:45 we began the reutrn ti'ip, but before we had gone far Miss Onstine appropriated a pair of shoes belonging to Mr. Kibbe and they were a perfect fit. Those who made the trip were Misses Onstine, Gerber, Comer, Her re, Fitzgerald, Mr. Kibbe, Mr. Van Horn, Mr. Burley, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Burklund. On the whole, as Mr. Kibbe termed it, " We just had a ' kid' of a time." Organizations Y. W. C. A. A large number of girls were present at the Y. W. C. A. last Thursday to hear a delightful and inspiring message given by Mr. Thompson, a representative of the Inland Missionary Association. In his message he told us of the many hundreds of Chinese and Africans who have been converted and yet there were millions who were not yet converted. He also told what it means to be a missionary in a foreign field and what wonderful work and experience it is. His message was closed by urging the girls to enter this field if they felt the call, and we are certain that some did feel the call to this field after listening to such a wonderful lecture. Beach, we organized a club called the " LLL" or Loyal Lads and Lassies. Our officers are as follows: Margaret Penny cook, president; Frank Sather, vice-president, and Dorothy Snider, secretary and treasurer. The club plans to have picnics as long as the weather is good, and also to hold helpful meetings at each others homes every other Tuesday. Margaret Penny-cook will entertain the club at her home, 319 Magnolia Street, July 27th from 2 to 4 P. M. — DOROTHY SNIDER, Secretary-Treasurer. NORMAL GRADUATE WEDS The announcement of the wedding of Miss Annie Luella Airth and Mr. John H. Bren has come to the office of the president. Miss Airth is a graduate from the Normal in 1915. The wedding occurred July 16 at the Methodist church on Calle Avellaneda, Crnnaguey, Cuba. MISS MAUDE ELLIOTT WEDS PHILOMATHEANS The Philomathean Literary Society will enjoy a week end party August 6th, 7th and 8th at the.home of Mr. Kolstad on Lake Whatcom. RURAL LIFE Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock, the Rural Lifers held a business and social meeting in room 130. The business meeting was short and the social meeting long. The entertainment included a reading by Grace Petitclerc, a mock trial, in which no thinking was allowed and a reading by Mrs. Anderson. From there the scene was removed to the small gymnasium where the new members were made to " ride the goat." Every device from drowning to electrocuting was employed. If the victims lived through :'t, they emerged full-fledged Rural Lifers. Thirteen went in and thirteen came out, withstanding the persecution royally. To be a Rural Lifer is to be a live wire .alright. CLUB ORGANIZED on our 6A Class picnic On Friday evening, July 16, at 7:45 o'clock, Miss Maude Elliott and Mr. Ralph Kugelman were married in Seattle at the home of Mrs. Oliver. The bride is one of the 1920 June graduates from Bellingham Normal, and was of the Edens Hall group while here. Mr. and Mrs. Kugelman have gone to their summer home on Lake Washington. Later they will be at home in Aberdeen. BELLINGHAM AN IDEAL SPOT Have you ever stopped to think what a wonderful place Bellingham is. With such scenery as this place offers, is it any wonder that this ideal spot was chosen for our school? What could give you more of an inspiration to study than beautiful surroundings? Then, again, where could you find more pleasure to indulge in than swimming, rowing, camping, tennis and many other sports that are ours to indulge in? Bellingham is a place that we would all be proud to call our home, and as long as we are here it is our home. Therefore, we must all help to keep it beautiful. — MARGUERITE FOYE While last | Thursday, July 15th, 1920, at Chuckanut BROAVN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building A FINE LINE OF LADIES' WRIST WATCHES THAT WILL APEAL TO NORMAL SCHOOL GIRLS Muller Asplund Jewelers Next to First National Bank Gage- Dodson Co.

Mr. Philippi, our lecture course chairman, received the following communication from Dean C. R. Maxwell, of the University of Wyoming: "Madame Barad scored great success last night She is a wonderful artist. Expectations more than realized." A student who has heard. Madame Zarad accounts: " Of all the real good things. I heard while attending Marquette Normal College two years ago, nothing impressed me like Madame Zarad's rich, high soprano and her charming personality. YE FATE OF YE SCHOOL MA'AM It was on an evening lonely, When a school ma'am, sad and lonely Dropped her school books with a yearning sigh; Was there not within the jungles, Some quiet spot within the-jungles Where Nepenthe, that arch-wooer, might reside? Straightway hastened toward the sunset, Toward the crimson purpling sunset, Through the narrow, dark'ning fringe of forest pine. There awaited her Nepenthe, All forgotten, save Nepenthe, Trouble, sorrow and all else beside. Now she wanders through the pine trees, Singing soft, beneath the pine trees Dreaming, happy, thinking not of books and cares. While the people, sad and sorry, Say in whispers, shocked and sorry, She is foolish, poor dear creature, And beyond our worldly prayers. — MARY AGATHA NIGHT By CARRIE WHITTIER Softly the darkness falls on land and sea, The sun is slowly sinking out of sight, Clothing the world in darkness — and the lea — Is all bathed in marvelous light. Just now the bay was robed in beauty bright Reflecting myriad hues, But fast the golden rays have sunk from sight — Changed all to blues. The night comes swiftly now on purply wings, The soft blue hues so quiet change to black, Night gently reigns — and in a low voice sings Her lullaby — no sweet thing doth earth lack. THE CHARGE OF THE NATURE STUDENTS Half a day, half a day, half a day outward, Cross the school campus, strode the brave hundred, Armed with a rake and hoe, Grasping a pail or two. Into the glare of day, into the heat of noon Strode the brave hundred. Theirs not to make reply, Theirs but to plant or die, E'en though the whole class knew they would be roasted. But when the fall class arrives, And beans and corn are ripe, The fall class shall reap the work Of the brave hundred. And when in years to come The robins and wrens come home Back to our campus, There they shall find a house Paid for through sweat brows Of these great farmers, Brave, honored students. — MARY AGATIIA OUR MOTHER Is there anyone else in the world so dear As Mother? Can anyone comfort and cheer Like Mother? When the sky is dark and the world goes wrong- She brightens us up with a smile and song — Our Mother. Is there anyone so good to you, Patient, loving, thoughtful and true As Mother? She makes home cheerful, bright and gay, She smiles, helps and sings all through the day — Our Mother. O, how she helps and guides us through life, Shielding us from cares and strife — Our Mother. Where e'er we go to the very end We'll always find her a faithful friend — Our Mother. So let us give praises to our Father above For the tender care and infinite love Of Mother. I wonder if we really appreciate our mothers and their efforts to help us as much as we should. Are we not likely to become careless in our attentions to our mothers; and spend our time and money on those, who do not care for us as our mothers do? How much mothers enjoy letters and remembrances from children away from home. Even though you are no longer a child — you may be twenty, yes, even thirty or more'— mother still thinks of you as her girl or her boy. Your ambitions, success, achievements are all of vital interest to her, though perhaps you do not realize it. • How often we hear the expression, " I have been so busy I didn't write home this week." Did you stop to think how disappointed mother would be when the postman came day after day with no news from her absent boy or girl? Mothers appreciate other attentions as well as letters. We spend so much money on luxuries for ourselves and friends, yet we seem to forget mother likes candy and flowers, etc., as well as we do. I think it would be a splendid thing if we would deny ourselves some luxury, candy or shows for example, and send mother some little remembrance as well as a letter each week. We shall always find young friends but we will not always have our mothers with us and I'm sure we can never find another friend like "Mother." — JESSIE O. MOSELEY If words of thine have cheered one failing heart, Kindled anew one fading altar fire, Thy work is not a failure; clouds are touched That shall reach from the angel choir. BROWN'S STUDIO, Sunset Building MY NEIGHBOR'S CHICKENS Of all the things that make rural life accursed, My neighbor's chickens take the prize for being, the very worst. I sometimes plant a flower bed, and as soon as I'm away Those cunning hens march in to spend the day. Around our place is little seen, except holes and dirt, They eat the grass before it's green, and all my flowers hurt. My neighbor has a garden too; he keeps it looking fine, For he has trained his pirate crew to march over and eat mine. HIGHLAND CREAMERY CONFECTIONERY, ETC. H. A.

Harold Marshall (sitting in front row): " Oh, no they don't; look at me." IT DIDN'T WORK An Irishman was sitting in a station smoking when a woman came in and sitting down beside him remarked: " Sir, if you were a gentleman you would not smoke, here." " Mum," he said, " if you wuz a lady you'd sit farther away." Pretty soon the woman burst out again, " If you were my husband, I'd give you poison." " Well, mum," returned the Irishman as he puffed away at his pipe, "If you wuz me wife, I'd gladly take it." " Why did you take Elnora away from school, Aunt Mandy? " a lady asked her cook one day. Aunt Mandy sniffed scornfully. " Caus' de teacher ain't satisfact'ry to me. What do yu reckon she tell dat chile yestiddy? She low that IV spell four, when even an idjut 'ud know it spell ivy." Why does a duck go into the water? To liquidate her bill. Why does she come out? To make a run on the bank. Who was the straightest man in Bible days? David was, because the Pharaoh made a ruler out of him. When was the first tennis game played? When David served in Pharaoh's court. The library is to be closed during the warm weather, as the librarian is afraid the magazines will blow up. Mr. Kolstad: " Who was that who laughed out loud?

Farmer: "I'll give you five dollars a day to help me dig potatoes. You can start now." Dusty Rhodes: "Guess you'd better do it alone, mister. You planted 'em, so you know where they are." Pinckney: "The dentist told me I had a large cavity that needed filling." Primer: "Certainly, and did he recommend a special course of study? " Brown: "I understand that Senator Green wanted you to act as his private secretary." Simmons: " He did, but I wouldn't accept the position because I should have to sign everything, ' Green, per Simmons.' " Perhaps the man who celebrated his 131st birthday recently in Louisville, Kentucky, can remember the time when the. butchers gave away liver. Mrs. O'Rourke (to charitable old Mr. O'Neil, who is giving away poultry to the needy): "Long life to yer honor; sure I'll never see a goose agin but I'll think of yez." A novel reason for discipline was that vouchsafed by a child whose school record was a grief to his parents. " Tommy," said his teacher, one day in despair, " why do you think I scold you so much ? " " 'Cause you get sort of fretful keeping school," was the evidently honest and quite unexpected reply. The stingiest man was scoring the hired man for his extravagance in wanting to carry a lantern in going to see his girl. " The idea ! " he scoffed, " When I was courtin' I never carried no lantern; I went in the dark." The hired man proceeded to fill the lantern. " Yes," he said sadly, " and look what you got." HYGIENIC POVERTY A young lady in this state went to the bank to get her monthly check cashed. The paying teller, as he counted the cash out deftly, said: " I'm sorry not to be able to give you clean new bills, miss. I hope you're not afraid of microbes." "Oh, no, I'm not afraid of them," said the young lady cheerfully. " No microbes could live on my salary." L. E.: "Give me a penny's worth of mixed candies." Clerk: " Here are two, you can mix them yourself." A Senior to a Junior: " I don't care if you step on my feet, but please don't linger on them." Jack: "Say," boy, you're dog bit me on the ankle." Tom: " Well, that is as high as he can reach. You wouldn't expect a little pup like him to bite you on the neck, would you ? " THE WHOLE SECRET Benny (having great difficulty in teaching his little sister to whistle): "Aw, jest make a hole in your face and push;" EMBARRASSING MOMENTS • One day, hearing a rap at the door and thinking it Avas my husband playing a joke on me, I said, " Come in." Another rap and I thought I'll see :if he can fool me, I'll just scare you a little. So, gently I tiptoed to the door, thrust out my head and cried, " Boo, you little imp. I know who you are." Picture my embarrassment on seeing the new pastor instead of my husband. President (at meeting): " Now I want you boys to be so quiet that you could hear a pin drop." . Small voice (at rear of room when everything was quiet) : "Let 'er 'drop ! " A girl who lived in Bellingham Had a pa who was crabbed and stern. He'd startle young, men By appearing at ten And saying, " I move we adjourn." Teacher: "Let us air try to keep together in singing." Bright pupil: "I am together." We believe Mr. Kibbe is trying to imitate Sir Walter Raleigh. Instead of laying his coat down for a young lady to step on to cross a mud hole he loaned her one of his shoes.

Jessica Ryan-Seale Western student The pattern of the type of cars stolen has led police to believe the same people are responsible for the thefts, Richards said. However, no arrests have been made. The chance of recovery for stolen cars is 50 percent. The cars used for parts will probably never be found, Richards said. Jessica Ryan-Seale had her 1985 Toyota Camry stolen from her North Forest Street residence sometime between 7:30 and 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 24. Ryan-Seale's car has yet to be recovered.

The Bellingham City Council will hear from environmental regulatory agencies and G-P's environmental experts at its Thursday meeting that will address concerns about G-P diesel generators. By Stephanie Kosonen THE WESTERN FRONT Potential health issues regarding Georgia-Pacific's use of diesel generators discussed at the Jan. 22 city council meeting generated enough concern to convince the Bellingham City Council to hear presentations from the Department of Ecology, Northwest Air Pollution Authority and G-P's environmental experts Thursday. The groups will present information regarding pollution, health and G-P's plan for power sources. The public is invited to attend, but no public testimony will be taken.

Jennings THE WESTERN FRONT About 12 percent of Western food service employees, including those who work in the Viking Commons and Viking eateries in Viking Union, Arntzen Hall, Miller Hall and the Sub-connection, either do not have food handler's permits or have expired permits. This means that one in every nine Western food employees, including clerks at these eateries, are not licensed to handle food.

Arizen is one of the eight eateries that serves students on campus. Brendan Manning/The Western Front Co. raised G-P's energy rates from $35 per megawatt hour to $100 per megawatt hour. Cockrell said at that point, Q-P employees thought the higher rates were simply a result of a summer shortage. However, "It went absolutely crazy in the fall," Cockrell said. In the fall, PSE started charging G-P $3,500 per megawatt hour for power.

Nineteen-year-old Gerardo Chavez-Ibarra is recovering from the amputations and open-heart surgery he underwent in Arlington. The bite was especially damaging because of a pre- existing bacterial infection, which damaged a valve in Chavez-Ibarra's heart. He apparently suffered the bite while sleeping. Charges filed in murder of foreign bride EVERETT - Prosecutors have filed murder charges in the death of a mail-order bride. Snohomish County prosecutors have charged Daniel Kristopher Larson with first-degree murder. Larson is a 20-year-old sex offender who was staying in the home of Indie Bong Jr. and his wife, Anastasia King. Anastasia disappeared in September and was found dead two months later. Prosecutors said Larson killed the woman at the direction of her husband. Prosecutors claim Larson strangled Anastasia King with a necktie and that Indie King helped him. Anastasia King was from the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan. She came to Washington two years ago to marry Indie King and was a University of Washington student. A memorial service for her took place on Sunday in Seattle. NATIONAL NEWS Man kills five in workplace shooting MELROSE PARK, HL - The nation's latest spasm of workplace violence has left five people dead and four wounded. Authorities said a former Navistar employee â€” who was supposed to start a prison term Tuesday for stealing from the company â€” opened fire at a company truck plant near Chicago. Officials confirm the gunman - identified as William Baker - is among the five dead. They will not be providing any further information until more is certain. Baker was supposed to surrender to authorities to begin a five-month sentence. He had pleaded guilty last year to a charge of conspiracy to commit theft from an interstate shipment. Two of the people injured are in critical condition. New drug aids in fat fight WASHINGTON - A study performed at Mass. Institute of Technology states that an injected drug that causes muscles to burn fat at a high rate may offer hope for controlling extreme obesity. The study shows that obese mice lost weight despite eating unlimited amounts of a high-calorie, fatty diet. But a researcher says the drug is far from ready to be tested on people. INTERNATIONAL NEWS Survivors found in Indian earthquake BHUJ, India - Two people who were found trapped in their home in India Monday â€”10 days after it was damaged by the country's devastating earthquake â€” are apparently in good shape. Rescuers said they were taken to a clinic, where both were strong enough to walk - and they apparently then left to be reunited with relatives. Soldiers found the two in a home that had sustained severe damage to the ground floor, blocking the entrance. They saw the man waving through the grill of a second story window. The man was able to walk and talk, but the woman was weaker. All she had eaten since Jan. 26 was cereal. Their home was in Bhuj, one of the towns worst affected by the earthquake. Officials said more than 17,000 bodies have been pulled from the debris. Disneyland Hong Kong turns up old bombs HONG KONG - Officials in Hong Kong are working to ensure that people don't have a blast at Disneyland - at least not a literal one. Police said workers dredging to reclaim land for the future theme park are turning up a huge harvest of old bombs.

Everyone has it. Everyone needs it. Western's winter quarter blood drive runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday. The drive is being organized by SHAIC and Western's health center and will take place in the Viking Union 565. The blood drive is run through The Puget Sound Blood Program, which plays a vital role in meeting the needs of patients in the community. The non-profit organization provides blood and blood components to 50 hospitals and clinics in 11 Washington counties. Across the United States, someone needs blood every three seconds. More than 50,000 patients each year in the Puget Sound region are helped from the blood of about 120,000 community donors to the Blood Program. People need blood for a variety of medical procedures such as surgery, cancer therapy and treatment of heart disease. Persons involved in trauma emergencies, such as burns and auto accidents, often also require large quantities of blood and blood components. Because whole blood can be stored for only 35 days,, and platelets â€” small cells in the blood that control bleeding â€” for 3-5 days, blood donations are always needed, according to the PSB program. Anyone who is at least 18 years old, weighs at least 110 pounds and is in good health may donate blood every 56 days. Only sterile, disposable equipment is used throughout the donation process, which makes it virtually impossible to contract a disease from donating blood. Since 1985, more than one million transfusion have been prepared at the Puget Sound Blood Program. To date, none of the approximately 250,000 patients who received these blood products have been reported to have AIDS. The PSBC reports it is down to a three-day supply and in critical need for O positive blood. They have only a 1-2 day supply of O negative and B negative, with the condition labeled an emergency. Roughly 60 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood, yet only 5 percent do. Western students are encouraged to stop by and donate blood. Students can contact Catherine Vader with any questions at 650-2961.

Lifestyle advisers hold mocktail parties By Christina Schrum THE WESTERN FRONT Each Thursday of this month students from the residence halls are invited to participate in a nonalcoholic Mocktail Party. The parties, which are sponsored by local organizations on campus, are helping inform students about the influences of drugs and alcohol.

The party includes music and dancing along with snacks and mixed drinks provided by the Marriott.

For example, students compete in a "Family Feud" game containing questions about sex. Also, students can play drinking games and test their abilities with Fatal Vision Goggles, which are meant to simulate the impairment of being drunk. Throughout the night, students are involved in discussing party scenarios and what to do in those types of situations. They also participate in discussion on overdosing and tips on sexual harassment. Forrey said last quarter more than 70 students from Kappa attended the mocktail party and more than 60 had attended the party held at Fairhaven. The next party is at 7 p.m. Thursday at Fairhaven.

Lignin is the material in wood that holds the tree fibers together. It is used to make ethanol, gasoline, vinegar and perfume. The diesel generators providing the power for these products is the subject of recent concern, and now G-P has 40 of them on-site. Cockrell said the former 16 were too small. The new ones are also used in Texas and California during the summer, so G-P officials hope they won't need them after this spring. "It's gonna cost us if we go into the summer," Cockrell said. After a G-P containerboard mill in Monticello, Miss, won several awards for environmental excellence, Tim Jones, environmental engineer at the mill, said, "We're no different from any other G-P facility in that we first consider the safety aspects of everything we do, and then any environmental issues. Before we do any papermaking, we do these things. Everyone here supports this philosophy, and they respond to a challenge." According to G-P's Web site, "Georgia-Pacific will audit, on a rotating basis, environmental performance and management systems at every manufacturing facility the company owns or operates. The company will use a combination of internal and third-party audits." Cockrell said every year a book is sent to each facility, breaking down areas for the audit and leading the auditor through the process. Also, every two years an auditor from another G-P facility will perform the process. Auditors look for potential problems and check record keeping.

Keys THE WESTERN FRONT Western alumnus Carroll Haeske, whose initiative gave Western the Lakewood Recreational Facility, died of viral pneumonia Jan. 28, in Arcadia, Calif, at the age of 96. "Haeske was an interesting individual somewhat of a character," Chris Goldsmith, director of alumni relations said. "He liked to be known as the man who bought Lakewood," Goldsmith said. As Associated Students president from 1921-22 at then Bellingham Normal School, Haeske. persuaded students to purchase 9.8 acres of land on Lake Whatcom for $800. "He grew up on the lake canoeing and loved the water," said Al Froderberg, Haeske's friend and director of Planned Giving and senior adviser to Western President Karen Morse. "His experience on the water was so good for him that he thought it would be good for other (Western students)," Froderberg said. Haeske believed purchasing Lakewood would spark an interest in the college to start a crew program. "He loved crew because it was an excellent amateur sport," Froderberg said. 'His experience on the water was so good for him that he thought it would be good for other (Western students).' A] Froderburg Friend of Haeske's The Lakewood facility located on Lake Whatcom is used by the men's and women's crew teams. The facility has a challenge course and classes in canoeing, kayaking, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. Haeske was a longtime member of The Western Foundation and the Alumni Association. He created an endowment in 1996 to support men's and women's crew. In 1997, he joined a group of investors to purchase a five-acre tract adjacent to Lakewood for $510,000. The facility is used as the crew headquarters and is named the Haeske Crew House after Haeske and his wife Carmelita, who died in 1993. "He was a man who had a sense of humor, quick wit, a man who cared about others," Director of Viking Union Student Activities and friend Jack Smith said. "My understanding is that he was one who was frugal with his money, he always wanting to use it to benefit others in some way," Smith said. 'He was an individual who felt the university made a big impact on his life and prepared him for his studies at the University of Washington and Stanford.' AI Froderburg Friend of Haeske's Haeske was born in a log cabin in Blaine on April 30, 1904 to Richard and Johanna Haeske. He only spoke German until his family moved to Bellingham when he was in the second grade. Haeske funded his education at Bellingham Normal by playing background music for silent films at the local movie theaters -in the afternoons and evenings. Haeske earned his teaching credentials at Bellingham Normal in 1923 and received a Bachelor's degree from the University of Washington in 1924, where he supported himself by playing in a speakeasy during the Prohibition. He then studied literature at Stanford University, where he met his wife." He taught music and English, from kindergarten to the university level, for 43 years, and retired in 1966 after 30 years as a high school teacher in Arcadia. As a music teacher, he played a variety .of instruments which included piano, saxophone, flute, clarinet, piccolo, and a little bit of banjo. Along with his love of music, Haeske loved literature. His love for books was encouraged by Western's first librarian, Mable Zoe Wilson. This interest resulted in an extensive home library that numbered about 10,000 volumes. Haeske also was a collector of fruit trees and planted 150 different types on his Arcadia acreage. "He loved language and liked to be precise in his speech,"Froderberg said. "He loved literature and was an avid reader, he also loved the outdoors." "He was an individual who felt the university made a big impact on his life and prepared him for his studies at the University of Washington and Stanford," Froderberg said. Haeske is survived by his sister Lillian Schultz of Bullhead City, Ariz., his nephew John Schultz of Searchlight, Nev., two grandnephews and his longtime friend, Betty Bell, of Bradbury, Calif. At his request, there was no memorial service.

Cycling to his job in the old section of Bellingham, he said, is a.way of life. That's why, when presented in December with the challenge of coordinating the Pedal Project, he was more than willing to help. Morris, executive director of the project, has encouraged bicycle commuting in Bellingham for four years. The Pedal Project is the latest attempt to get Bellingham residents, out of cars and into bicycle seats in order to clear up traffic congestion. Its function will be to rent bikes to paying members, and to provide information about alternative forms of transportation. In 1992, the Federal' Highway Administration reported only 0.4. percent of all workers in the United States commute by bicycle. With the population booming and cars remaining a major staple of American culture, more highways are being built to accommodate the increased load of cars. 'It's ludicrous that it's happening just to appease motorists when there are bet-. ter ways to alleviate the problem," Morris said of new highway construction. He believes the solution to Bellingham's problem is to follow the examples of other cities, such as Portland, in building a strong community . of cyclists. "(Our community) is choking," he said. "You can't walk, and it's intimidating to ride bikes, even." One past attempt, called the Free Yellow Bike project, was implemented with 75-80 bikes set out at satellite, points in the city, for anyone to ride for free. For about two weeks, the bikes were all over downtown and seemed to be getting a lot of use, he said. After a month, however, the bikes fell victim to abuse, either vandalized or stolen. The Pedal Project will be more like a bike "library," where members will rent out bikes by the day or the week, reducing opportunities for vandalism. This new program adds accountability by keeping a member name database similar to that of a library, and encouraging interaction and cooperation between members. Besides a bike co-op, the Pedal Project also will be a community bike shop and an alternative transportation advocacy resource. Education is the biggest part of it, Morris said, adding that it's a common misconception that driving a car is safer than riding a bike. Janet Marino, secretary of the board of directors for the Pedal Project, said travelling by bicycle gives people a chance to take notice of the outside world. "Single-occupancy vehicles commuting within an urban setting is not a sustainable means for transportation," she said. Stephanie Kosonen/The Western Front Kyle Morris has encouraged alternative commuting for four years. Individuals have donated about 200 bikes to the project and the police department has donated about the same amount. Right now, the bikes are being repaired or disassembled for parts. Morris does the work and is looking for volunteers to help. All the bikes are being housed at the RE Store, where Morris works, while the project seeks a permanent home, preferably in the old town area. "What we really need to do is reduce the demand and need for highways while we provide people with a much wider range of choices," Bill Wilkinson, executive director of the National Center for Bicycling and Walking, said in a CQ Researcher article. The Pedal Project's main mission is to educate people about these choices.

Travel Currency Available ZUN lt; IT R A V EL Serving all of Washington State ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 8 ---------- 8 â€¢ The Western Front Features February 6, 2001 Sweets Belgian Bakery opens downtown By Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT His hands move constantly. His fingers drum the table. They scratch the chestnut hair that wings out from underneath a puffy white chef's hat. He raises his hands, palms outwards, and, in one quick sweep, waves to unfamiliar people who traverse the sidewalk. His hands move restlessly and relentlessly, as if searching for something to do. As a painter's hands feel most comfortable wrapped around a paintbrush, Olivier Vrambout's hands seem most comfortable dusted with flour, kneading dough. Vrambout, 26, born in Belgium, fulfilled a dream when he opened the Mount Bakery Monday. The patisserie, in , downtown Bellingham, "will feature imported Belgian chocolates as well as Vrambout's handmade pastries. "When I was a kid, I was a fanatic for sweets" Vrambout said, reliving his childhood obsession by accosting a poster advertising Belgian chocolates. The poster, which could cause even a dentist to salivate, is mounted on an accordion screen made from four doors hinged together that separate the Mount Bakery kitchen from its dining area. "I was going to build walls ... but my wife suggested the doors," said Vrambout, who remodeled the store himself. "It's an open kitchen so customers can look in and see what I am doing." When asked what makes Belgian chocolates different from American chocolate, Vrambout responded simply, "Have you ever tried Belgian chocolate?" Apparently, the taste stands alone. Belgian chocolate is creamier than Hershey's, which can be dry, he said. Belgian chocolate also has a sweet tangy aftertaste compared to the more bitter Hershey's. The chocolates, dusted in powdered sugar or filled with nut purees, are mounted in a display case like miniature works of art. Vrambout's croissants, eclairs, napoleons and tarts, dripping with delectable calories, are displayed in another glass case. Vrambout makes the puff pastry in his French baked items from scratch. Making puff pastry is an eight-hour process that will take most of his time, he said. He said he would like to make his own chocolates, but it is time consuming and "an art in itself." Vrambout first sank his hands into dough as a young boy when his grandmother taught him the art of patisserie in Congo, in the kitchen where she baked for a Catholic convent. Vrambout said he still uses some of her secret recipes, especially one for creme brulee, a custard glazed with caramelized sugar. He lived with his grandparents in Congo until he was 7, because his parents were teenagers when he was born. When he turned 7, he moved back to Belgium to live with his parents, but spent his summers in Congo with his grandparents. When he was 14, he moved with his family to Boston. For the next 10 years, he lived in nine states throughout the United States. Today, Vrambout said he and his wife, who is expecting a baby next month, feel rooted in Bellingham. They moved here two years ago, when he started selling his pastries wholesale. "We came here and fell in love with the community right away," he said. He was a chef at Boundary Bay Brewery and then rented the kitchen to bake for his own wholesale business. Selling wholesale to restaurants and coffee shops, like Cruisin' Coffee and Stuart's, has allowed him to lease the building that houses the Mount Bakery at the intersection of Bay Street and Commercial Avenue. Robin Gillmore, an employee at the French bakery La Vie en Rose, said wholesale accounts are plentiful sources of business. The bakery has been on Holly Street since 1989. La Vie en Rose owner Warren Tessler expanded business into more wholesale venues since he bought it last year, Gillmore explained. "We have two storefronts and 42 wholesale accounts," she said. Vivian Haruska, who with her husband owns Sweet Art, a chocolate and fine art shop in downtown Bellingham, said she noticed that food venues are growing downtown. "Half of the downtown is vacant, but what's working. is the food eateries," Haruska said. Vrambout said he would like to create a cooperative among the downtown businesses to organize events and bring more business downtown. But all that will have to wait until after this morning's puff pastry is made. Jennifer Collins/ The Western Front Covered in flour and decked-out in chef's attire, Olivier Vrambout forms the crust of berry pies before the Mount Bakery opened on Monday. The bakery, in downtown Bellingham, will serve decadent Belgian chocolates and delicate pastries. Vrambout has been developing his culinary arts since his grandmother taught him the art when he was a young boy. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 9 ---------- February 6, 2001 Features The Western Front â€¢ 9 At the prick of a finger Students with diabetes find support in Western-sponsored club By Melissa Evavold THE WESTERN FRONT At 8 .a.m., Kat checks the glucose level in her blood by finding a finger not yet too callused to prick. With a quick press of a button, a pen-like tool sends a needle to her finger in less than a second, producing a drop of crimson blood, which she eases onto a thin paper test strip that is inserted into a glucose meter the size of a radar detector. In minutes, this little gadget will tell her what her blood sugar level is. It reads 90. That's good; it should be between 80 and 120. Katherine Grubb was diagnosed with diabetes Oct. 7, 1997, during her freshman year at Western. Type I and type II are the most common forms of diabetes, a disease characterized by a lack of the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and normally converts food into energy. I t is needed for cells to absorb glucose. In people who have diabetes, the pancreas produces little insulin or none at all. In type I diabetes, every cell in the body needs insulin. A person with type I diabetes must take injections every day. In type II diabetes, the pancreas still makes insulin, but not enough. Sometimes the body doesn't absorb the insulin created. Type two is most common in adults who are overweight. Treatment is administered through strict diet, exercise, oral pills or insulin injections. Grubb once regulated her glucose by giving herself four to five shots of insulin per day. Now she uses a pump, a pager-size device which holds a couple days supply of insulin. This supply is connected to a plastic tube which runs to a canulla, a synthetic needle that is constantly in her body, delivering insulin to closely match her pancreas. Grubb uses the buttons on the pump to control the desired milligrams of insulin per one deciliter of blood. "It's my lifeline," she said. "I can't be off it more than 45 minutes to an hour." The canulla is inserted into areas called infusion sites that are "fattier" in tissue and as out of the way as possible. Right now, that tubing hangs from her lower back, secured by adhesive. The pump can be worn outside of her clothes, but she chooses to conceal, it inside a pocket under her shirt. For breakfast, Grubb eats toast, vitamins and juice. After classes and a lunch consisting of a Balance Bar and a few liters of water, she goes to work at the YMGA. In the little time before work, she grabs what she can to eat â€” another granola bar or crackers. She works as a caregiver for 6-and-8-year-old children. Snack time is one of four times during the day she tests her blood sugar. Grubb demonstrates in front of the kids. Their eyes widen as she draws blood and places it on the glucose test strip. Their heads rise as they watch the numbers calculate on the pump. She licks the blood off her finger. Scrunched faces emit "eewws" and "yucks." According to Detroit Free Press, of the 16 million Americans who have diabetes, only 10.3 million have been diagnosed. Symptoms include increased thirst, urination, fatigue and itchiness around the genital area. The direct costs of diabetes treatments are more than twice the costs of cancer and HIV/AIDS combined. Grubb's pump alone costs $5,500. A box full of supplies arrives every three months, costing her $900. Grubb and other diabetic students on campus find support in the Diabetes Club, started in 1997 by Western student Kristin Elde and Jan Rystrom, a diabetes educator and nutritionist. Rystrom is a registered dietitian, employed by Western's student health center. The Diabetes Club meets on campus at 7 p.m. the first Wednesday of every month in Miller Hall 316. "It is to provide a place for people who have diabetes on campus and connect with other people," Rystrom said about the club. 'Teople with diabetes can feel very isolated. It's a disease that hasn't come out of the closet yet." The Diabetes Club volunteers for fundraisers for the American Diabetes Association. Club president Chris Sullivan, who has type I diabetes, said everyone is welcome to the club. "There are times when you feel like no one knows that you are diabetic," Sullivan said. "You miss people asking, 'So how's your blood sugar doing?"' Currently the club has 10 members. "These people with diabetes are tackling a chronic disease with courage and grace," Rystrom said. "They're amazing." Diabetes requires the affected to monitor their bodies throughout the day, even into the night. When it's time to go to bed, Grubb fiddles with her pump, which gives her body insulin while she sleeps. For more information about diabetes, Rystrom is available every Wednesday at the SHAIC.

He is now in the "honeymoon stage" of the disease, meaning that, although he shows symptoms of diabetes, his pancreas still produces insulin. ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 10 ---------- 10 â€¢ The Western Front SPORTS NCAA II Intramural February 6, 2001 Western melts Wazzu defense Vikings use scoring sprees to sweep the Cougars in two weekend games, look ahead to season finale By Benjamin Dalpos THE WESTERN FRONT In two games over the weekend, Western's hockey club scored 19 goals on 110 shots against Washington State University at the Bellingham Sportsplex. The Vikings won the first game Saturday night 10-1. Western jumped to an early lead with a power play goal by Corey Johnson. WSU quickly answered with a goal by Matt Hansen. Western then scored nine unanswered goals. Six Vikings scored in the first game, with Jason Motyka, Ben Alberg, Matt Kline and Russell Mingus contributing with two goals each. Western controlled the middle of the ice to give the Vikings good scoring chances. Kline beat two Cougar defensemen and goalie Chris Sowiago with a wrap-around in the second period to make the score 5-1. Western had 42 shots on goal and Western goalie David Morrill stopped 19 of 20 shots in the game. The Cougars' 24 penalty minutes left them short-handed for most of the second period. "The big thing with them is they have a very good goalie," head coach Mike Bahn said. "The goalie blocked a ton of shots, and score aside he had some great saves." The Vikings continued the scoring barrage with a 9-5 win Sunday afternoon. "It is .always tough to play a late game and then an early game," winger Kylan Mckenzie Terrill Simecki/The Western Front In a losing effort, Cougar Mike Dodson slaps the puck past Western's defense during a power play. said. "The trick is to come prepared the same way as the night before, e s p e c i a l l y when you have a win like we did. We didn't do it, but we pulled it off in the third." It was a different story in the first two periods of the game. W e s t e r n scored first with a goal from winger B r e n d a n Madden. C o u g a r s winger Josh Bain answered with a goal and he then scored on the power play with an assist from Mike Dodson. Western ended the period with Johnson's shorthanded goal. In the second period, WSU controlled the game scoring two goals within 30 seconds of each other to tie the game at 4. The Cougars then took the lead with a goal by Nick Trujillo. The Vikings took over in the third, scoring five goals on 27 shots. Alberg scored the game winner with a nice set up by John Smolenski. Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Western defenseman Chris McPherren bowls over a WSU player during the Viking's 9 to 5 win Sunday. The vikings won both games over the weekend. Western then went on to score three more goals; two from defenseman John Wilson in the last four minutes of the game. The Vikings took 68 shots on goal for the game with six players scoring. "When you play a team like this, it is inevitable you just think you're going to win anyway, regardless of the score," Alberg said. "They're beating us 5-4 coming into the third period, well, we better start scoring." The two wins give Western an 8-8-1 record going into the last weekend of the season. Western will play two games against the University of Oregon, the first at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Sportsplex. The second game of the weekend is Sunday.at 1 p.m. "Oregon is a much better team," Bahn said. 'We just have to cut down on the mistakes and focus and play like we played for two periods today. Trying to play coast to coast against teams like Oregon, it wouldn't work and they will burn you." Roe to head up USA Track and Field Western cross country coach and Woodring professor Bill Roe elected president USA Track and Field for next four years Stephanie Kosonen/The Western Front Professor Bill Roe leads the Western track team at a practice. Roe was recently named president of U.S. Track Field. By Allison Butler THE WESTERN FRONT At the 2000 meeting of the USA Track Field (USATF) in Albuquerque, N.M, Western professor Bill Roe was elected president of the USATF for the next four years. "I thought that it would be really overwhelming to become president, but I have worked there for over 12 years, so it wasn't that bad," Roe said. Roe, 50, has been involved with USATF since 1979 and has also served on the board of directors. His election makes him the only person .in the history of the USATF to serve 16 years as an officer. "Bill Roe has done it all," USATF CEO Craig Masback said. "His range of experience within the USA Track Field is remarkable and he brings to his position a rich perspective and tremendous enthusiasm." Roe coached for Western's men's arid women's cross country and middle distance programs since 1988. Since Roe became a coach at Western, runners have set 22 school records, been All- Americans 21 times and won national scholar athletes honors 14 times. He also was Northwest Regional cross country Coach of the Year in 1995 and received the conference coaching honor in 1997. He shared these with -Tee Wee" Halsell, who Roe assists as coach. When asked why he is so successful, Roe said, "I have good, smart runners." He has worked at Western's Woodring College of Education See ROE, Page 12 SUMMER JOBS!!

The victory followed Western's loss to ' Northwest Nazarene University Thursday, which* halted the Vikings' 26-game home-court winning streak. It was Western's 10th straight win against Seattle. The Vikings maintained the lead throughout the game, opening with a 10-point run, taking advantage of Seattle's 14 first-half turnovers. The Vikings ended the half leading 43-23. The Redhawks tried to come back strong in the second half, but Western's offense remained strong. Western went on a 19-point run early in the half, holding Seattle to 27 points until 11:30 into the second half. Western guard Megan Quarterman's driving layup with 4:54 to go gave the Vikings a 49-point lead, the largest of the night. The bench scored Western's final 48 points and had 51 for the game. 'It's fun when everyone gets to play," Quarterman said. Quarterman dominated the second half with a game-high 15 points.

The Vikings (17-3 overaU, 9-2 in the PacWest), ranked No. 20 nationally, remained in first in the West Division of the PacWest. Guard Jacob Stevenson had 21 points and seven assists for Western, which won its fourth consecutive game and its seventh straight home contest. Hawaii Pacific (8-12, 3-8) lost its fourth straight game and for the eighth time in nine contests. The Vikings' game plan was to look to Palm early in their offensive sets. "We try to get him involved as much as we can," coach Brad Jackson said. "Because when you do, he's either going to score, get to the line or get someone else an open shot." Palm has welcomed the challenge of being the anchor in the middle. "I like being the focal point of the offense, my teammates were looking to me early and often," Palm said. "We were trying to establish an inside presence to open up the offense on the outside." Palm, last year's PacWest freshman of the year, started this season on the sideline with a strained right knee. He has battled injuries and illness all year and only now is starting to feel healthy again. Daniel J. Peters/The Western Front Guard Jacob Stevenson looks for an open man around a Hawaii Pacific defender. The Vikings won their third-straight game, 104-83, Saturday afternoon at Carver Gym. Seattle native Roe involved in track and field since high school From ROE,.Page 10 since coming to Bellingham in 1985 as a graphic designer/illustrator. "I make up the time at Woodring by doing a lot of flex time and working weekends and nights, or whenever I can," Roe said. Roe was born in Seattle. He believed in the importance of serving students for a long time. He said he learned this at an early age from his mother, Ellen, who worked at the Seattle School District for a small amount of money. Roe became involved in track and field in high school. He wasn't fast enough to compete, so he became a manager and has been ever since. He went to Nathan Hale High School and the University of Washington, where he managed both track teams. Roe has coached or led U.S. teams to international competitions in Canada, Japan (three times), Argentina, Belgium (twice) and South Africa. "My favorite place to go is New Zealand an I've proved that by going 11 times," Roe said. "We are going again in 309 days." Roe will be in Vancouver, Wash. Feb. 17 and 18 for the World Cross Country Trials where the U.S teams will be selected. He will lead that team to the World Cross Country Championships in Dublin, Ireland March 25 and 26. 1III1IHBH11 |||l|^|j|^HH||^j Over the last 10 games, the 6- foot 10-inch center has averaged 17.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game. ' I t was a tough start to the season for him with the knee injury and getting sick," Jackson said. "We've been working on him being more physical and better balanced, and once he's got it going, then his confidence starts to go up, and that translates into efforts like today's." Hawaii Pacific opened the second half with a 12-4 run, capitalizing on several Viking turnovers to take a 52-50 lead just more than a minute into the second half. Western regained the lead for good at 57-56 on a basket and a "free throw by forward A.J. Giesa with 14:42 left. The Vikings then broke the game open down the stretch, holding the Sea Warriors scoreless for nearly five minutes to turn an 86-80 lead into a 101-80 advantage with 1:18 to play. At one point, Palm scored nine straight points during the 15-0 run that sealed the game. Guard Nick Spajic led the Sea Warriors with 27 points, 15 in the second half. The Vikings' defense held the Sea Warriors leading scorer Nash Subotic to seven points, .10 below his season average. . Hawaii Pacific had a 16-15 lead seven minutes into the game, but Western went on a 15- 4 run to take a 30-20 lead with 7:32 left in the half. The Vikings led by as much as 14 in the opening half, but the Sea Warriors closed the period with a 9-3 charge to narrow the margin to six, 46-40, at halftime. Palm, who was 12 of 16 from the field and 11 of 13 on free throws, had 23 points and 12 rebounds in the second half. His 35 points tied the sixth-best total in school history.

The opening words of the First Amendment are very clear. But apparently, newly "elected" President Bush and army of comp a s s i o n a t e conservatives haven't read the . First Amendment. At least that's the a p p e a r a n c e given by Bush's moves this past week to allocate federal funding to "faith-based" organizations. The proposed initiatives would divert up to $8 billion in tax revenues to fund religious-based social services. Is anyone scared yet? This is not a good idea, not to mention unconstitutional. This move by the new administration would open a possibility for abuse that the framers of the Constitution were dead set against. It provides ways for both the federal government and religious organizations to manipulate and use religion to whatever end they choose. Furthermore, what's to stop religious organizations, acting on their religious beliefs, from receiving federal funds from discriminating on the basis of religion, sexual orientation, race or gender? As the American Civil Liberty Union states on its Web site on this particular issue, "A Catholic church receiving public funds for literacy programs could fire a teacher for getting pregnant out of marriage or an Orthodox Jewish synagogue that operated a food 'This move by the new bank could administration would open refuse to hire a possibility for abuse that the framers of the Constitution were dead set against.' non-Jews or women." This is a real possibility, as religious organizations are exempt from many civil rights laws. Another worry is who will be deemed "worthy" of receiving funds? Would it merely be Christian organizations? If so, then neo-Nazis, Aryan Nations and other hate-based churches could qualify for receiving federal funds. The massive number of groups willing to manipulate the system for profit would 'The massive number of groups groups willing to manipulate the system for profit would most likely pop up overnight.' Justice Hugo most likely pop up overnight. Supreme Court was quite clear This initiative also would on this issue during the allow for discrimination Everson vs. Board of Education against those people who are not religious. Remember, people, "freedom of religion" also means freedom from religion. Now, granted, these are all worst case scenarios, but there's a reason why worst case scenarios exist: because they often happen.

The Western Front recently discovered, however, that many Marriott employees are not. Shockingly, about 12 percent of 343 Sodexho-Marriott food service employees across campus either have expired food handlers permits or none whatsoever. Sure, those who have taken the food handler's test realize one doesn't exactly need a four-year degree in the culinary arts to pass it, but people still fail. Memory Rohwer, of the Whatcom Department of Health and Human Services said, "Most of it is common sense, but there are other questions, like (proper) temperatures, that are more than common sense." Food handler's permits are not only important, they are required by law. The permits are also a matter of public record, and employers are required to provide proof that all employees have valid permits. Nonetheless, managers at campus eateries were unwilling to disclose the information to The Front on the grounds of violating employee privacy. Sodexho-Marriott should be held to as high a standard as every other food merchant in town. Even grocery store baggers and movie theater employees, who handle nothing more complex than popcorn, are required to have food handlers permits. Sodexho-Marriott employees should be no exception and the company certainly should not try to hide its shortcomings under the guise of employee privacy. Perhaps they don't realize the seriousness of the issue. Bacterium such as E. coli are more common than one might think and can cause severe organ damage or even lead to death. Such has been the case in recent memory. Surely, no one can forget the E. coli outbreak of 1993 in which 600 people ate contaminated Jack In The Box hamburgers. Three children died during that severe outbreak, which has been followed by numerous smaller outbreaks, as well as other cases involving salmonella. The possibility of food poisoning is all too real if food is not properly prepared. Sodexho-Marriott has a veritable monopoly on campus and charge notoriously high prices for its product - the company owes it to students and faculty to provide food they can trust was prepared properly by qualified individuals.

Western needs to quit talking and do more to improve safety Bryn Johnson COMMENTARY Safety for all students needs to be a priority for Western. People come to Bellingham because it is a safe place, a small community away from big city problems. Why then, are there posters in almost every building displaying the faces of people who have either succeeded at or attempted to hurt Western students? Safety is a hot topic for administrators trying to increase enrollment, and calm nervous parents' hearts. Western needs to spend less time downplaying past incidents and focus on coming up with practical solutions to safety issues. Other than physically being safe, it is important that students feel safe on Western's campus. Waiting for a ride home after a night class, studying in the 'Western needs to spend less time downplaying past incidents and focus on coming up with practical solutions to safety issues.' library or participating in sports doesn't make one feel safe. Anyone who lives off-campus knows that if they are on the northwest side of campus and they call someone to pick them up, the only place to meet them at the turn-around between the student health center parking lot and College Hall. Between 6 and 10 p.m. this popular spot can go from chaos to silence in a matter of minutes, bringing a change in heart rate for students waiting alone. It is the difference between security in numbers and wondering if anyone would hear a scream. For students, standing alone on the dimly lit street with nothing but two fluorescent street lamps and a creepy-looking character who also must be waiting for a ride, safety is nowhere to be found. Hoping that on their return, a ride would be there, students casually stroll back into buildings, making sure they didn't miss anything on their last five trips. Western's tradition of smiles for anonymous passers-by becomes a See SAFETY, Page 15 So much time, so little to do Lisa Curdy CURD'S WAY Non-essential activities, such as spending quality time on a couch or going-to parties, take on a new, incredibly pressing precedence when one is procrastinating.

After waking â€” at noon â€” I decided showering was not in my best interest. But I probably should have bathed, as I had Thursday night's makeup all over my face. We're talking glitter strewn from hell to breakfast, some mad mascara raccoon eyes, fading feathering smudges of lipliner that once was, and a hairstyle fit for Aretha Franklin, circa 1967. 'Procrastination is bad, very bad, but it feels good. It's like the heroin of academia, the crack ofclassesx the stoned stupor of upper-division classes. I am addicted to procrastination.' Things were not pretty in the Curdy household. Finally showering and reapplying the war paint later that night after a day of talk show bliss, I was ready for what Fridays are truly made for: cigarettes and beer. La Piriata supplied the first few rounds of liquid procrastination, and the rest were delivered to me in a little blue keg cup at a house party. The night passed in a hazy blur, and soon it was Saturday. On Saturday, I could have worked on my story, which was slowly dying from a generous dose of neglect, but I found my body had other plans. Once again, I was a glittered, makeup-coated nightmare not fit for the visually non-impaired, immobilized by sloth. And Saturday followed, as Friday's evil drunken twin. Then Sunday, sweet Sunday, awakened me with an eyelid-snapping jolt that made my heart flutter and stomach flip. It was do-or-die day, and graduation was in peril if I didn't get the story together. It was now time. I arrived at school with a white-knuckled grip and wet hair, searching with darting eyes See CURDY, Page 15 ---------- Western Front 2001 February 06 - Page 15 ---------- February 6, 2001 Opinions The Western Front â€¢ 15 It may not be popular, but oil drilling should be allowed in Alaskan refuge Mariah Price COMMENTARY Drilling should be done in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). This is not a very popular opinion and a lot of people out there are bound to disagree. That's okay. Thafs what makes life fun, right? Vive la difference! The area in question is the coastal plain, also known as the 1002 Area. It covers about 1.5 million acres, but only about 2,000 acres would be impacted by oil development. This area has a nine-month winter and 56 hours of continuous darkness during mid-winter. With military installments, schools, villages and roads, it is not an untouched environment. "Why do they want to disrupt the wildlife?" you might ask. Most people who are for drilling do not want to hurt the wildlife. It is, however, arrogant and wrong for the United States to expect other countries to deplete their natural resources and ruin their environments for our luxu- Granted, these countries are willing to do so for the money, but Americans shouldn't take advantage of them. What makes American resources and its environment so much more valuable than theirs? If drilling doesn't happen in the ANWR, other countries will find other places to drill for America. I t s a matter of which part of the world gets drilled first. The United States has one of the most regulated oil exploration and production industries in the world.

Yet students stand waiting for rides, because friends don't think 'Practical solution: Make a safe place where students can be dropped off and picked up.' it is safe for them to drive, having to walk through the even darker parking lots. Other students who thought they would be done with that big paper hours earlier, end up stuck, waiting in the dark. Practical solution: Make a safe place where students can be dropped off and picked up.

The United States spends about $40 billion annually on imported crude oil and refined products. This makes it the largest single commodity in the U.S. balance of trade deficit with other nations, according to the Department of Commerce. In 1973, the United States imported about 36 percent of its needs; in 1991, about 46 percent; today it is up to more than 55 percent. It is expected to rise to 60 percent by the year 2010.

EVERYONE AT WESTERN has now felt an earthquake, but now you're looking at one.The recording needle of the seismograph in Haggard Hall jumped over four inches during the quake. ItWas 5.5 On By Sue Weir and Dave Curls Tuesday morning began like all r a i n y mornings at Western.;. . s l o w and tired. At 8:50 a. m"., however, Western and the. e n t i r e Whatcom County area wasshaken to life by an e a r t h q u a k e t h a t acted like a shot of adrenalin. Students all over the campus scampered for shelter, the campus switchboard was jammed with calls and classes were disruptedas chairs, tables.and desks shook across the classroom. AT HAGGARD HALL of Science, red lightsin the hallways came on announcing the approaching quake which sent science students runningfor the seismograph on display in the foyer. Almost before the quake was over, Dr. Robert Christman,head of the Geology Department, was tied to his phone comparing data on the quake with Norman Ras-musson, seismologist at the Uni- Copies of the seismograph's recording, of Tuesday's, earthquakemay be' purchased for 10c in rooms H140 or H134 of Haggard Hall. w,:,â€ž^Si:â€ž:.s^tl THESEISMOGRAPH on display in the foyer of Haggard Hall was a center of attraction Tuesday after theearthquake. Pictured from left are Ron Peters, junior industrial arts major, Ed Wright, attending the NSFMath Institute, Derrell Simpson, senior industrial arts major, and Bill Caster, junior ..education major.â€¢â€¢ ' - Pretty Holy Place $250 Granted TÂ© Repair Cabin Kulshan Cabin was first on the agendaagain at Monday's Summer Board of Control meeting and the $250 request for its renovation wasgranted. Orest Khrulak, chairman, and Mr. Richard Reynolds, director of student activities, went up tothe cabin last weekend to ascertain the amount of work that needed to be done. They were both verysatisfied with what they found. "I personally felt that the orgi-inal reports were gloomy," Reynoldssaid, "and after seeing the cabin myself, I feel that it is worth saying and preservingâ€”not only forWestern students, but as a service to other groups around the state." The main prerequisites are tomake the cabin safe and comfortable. It needs two fire escape ladders and also a new stove. Atpresent, there are large holes and gaps in the roof, walls and'floor. "We will have to put caulking in thewalls and floor and either add a new roof, or thoroughly patch the present { one. Also,' a skirt shouldbe built around. the building. to prevent the wind from blowing through," he said. He added that theaddition of shutters to the windows would preserve the glass. Tarps will also have to be re? placed onthe cots and bunks, as the present ones are rotted through. The board stipulated, however, that theMount Baker Hiking Club should either put funds into the cabin, or else drop from the maintenanceagreement that it presently holds with the college. versity of 'Washington and notifying the results of their seismo graphs to the press, radio, television and police of the area. Christman said Rasmussonhad placed the intensity of the quake at 5.5 on the Richter scale. The. logrithmic scale measures theamount of energy released witti its maximum intensity at ten. "After the data are re-examined, theearthquake may be placed lower on the scale at about 4 or 4.5," Christman said. "In general, 1.5 is thesmallest felt earthquake, 4.5 causes slight damage near the epicenter, 6 is destructive over a restrictedarea, and 7.5 represents the lower limit of major earthquakes," Christ-man explained. The Alaskanearthquake was 8.5 on the Richter scale. "Our record shows one sharp shock beginning at about 8:50and continued movement lasting less than five minutes," Christman said. "Movements following theAlaskan earthquake lasted several hours." . "The quake was only a mild one," Christman assured. "Itwasn't felt at Seattle or Vancouver, B. C, and only slightly felt at Everett and Victoria, B. C. Accordingto statistics compiled at the U of W, the epicenter was located somewhere between Bellingham, and the Canadian borderâ€”possibly close to Blaine. Western was still so close to the quake, however, that Dr. Christman was unable to distinguish between the quake's primary and secondary shocks that were recorded on the. three rer cording graphs. One of" the seismograms is posted in the glass case near H 140 and H 143. The quake brought many different responses from students on campus. Many did notimmediately recognize that the shaking going on was an earthquake. SANDY STROM, senior English major, was lying in bed sleeping when the quake struck. "I thought it was the old lady downstairsbanging on the ceiling with a broom," she said. "Then I thought 'Anchorage' and jumped out of the bed to make sure I wasn't being swallowed up by a big crevass. DENNIS DONOVAN, junior physicaleducation major, was in Carver Gymnasium at the time of the quake. "At first I thought it wassomething upstairs, but that was illogical because there is no upstairs/' he reflected. "That's the first quake I can ever rememberâ€”it kind of shook me up." , ---------- Collegian - 1964 July 17 - Page 2 ---------- PAGE TWO THE COLLEGIAN FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1964 to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortedletters . . . the student voice LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS A new look was added to the Collegian thisweek that I wish all of the readers would stand up and take notice.

The Collegian's letters column had almost become like that much fabledpatent office in the 17th Century which had decided to close its doors because they thought everythingconceivable had already been invented. We did not, however, close our doors because we feel thatsomeone on this S. B. O.

The problem was a crucial one because $25 is going to be taken from the budget tofinance it and none of them wanted to miss out on a chance to spend the student's money. Are theyearning this picnic? Their first action as a Board this summer was to cancel all of the dances remainingin the quarter. Later in Monday's meeting, Janean St. Pierre, program chairman explained that no otherevents have been scheduled up to date because they might interfere campus may accidentally fall off his wishy washy fence and actually feel that something is either wrong or right with the way we students orothers are molding the world in which they are forced to live.

Jt apparently never occurred to herthat this excuse didn't carry over to this weekend and that 2,500 students will be sitting up in the dormstwiddling their thumbs.

Perhaps the burden of problems that the Board now carries could be lessened if its sizewere cut to only the Facilities and Program Chairmen. Possibly these two members would have lessproblem getting together for the annual S.B.O.C. picnicâ€”D. C. the all important grade What is a grade? When students receive their report card at home after this summer session, the letter grade thatrepresents six to nine weeks of hard work, means more to them than the knowledge that they might have absorbed. This doesn't seem like the aim of an education. Dr. James L. Jarrett, president of Western,said in interview this week that the major aim of a college education is to create scholars. He defined,scholars as "persons who devote themselves earnestly to the pursuit of truth." He said that thevocational training that students aquire at Western is of minor significance, because any acceptedmethod of doing a specific job today will not necessarily be accepted ten years from how. Students take the same attitude as Jarrett, but with one small twist. They recognize that training becomes obsoleteafter only a few years so once they fill in the appropriate spaces on their final i.B.M. multiple choice test,they promptly forget everything that they have learned. To them, the major goal of a college education is not to pursue truth, but instead to get the grades necessary to get out of college. The faculty is notlessening this trend in the least and if anything, they are increasing it. They are building G.P.A. fences in front of almost all of the doors of the future. The entrance G.P.A. to Western has risen, the G.P.A.requirements for student teaching have risen, and now in some departments, students cannotcomplete their major with only a G.P.A. of "C." They must get a 2.5. It seems strange that aninstitution that should be trying to inspire students to pursue truth in life; should direct his efforts towardfalse, materialistic tags while in college.â€”D. C.

New buildings, roads, curricula, facultychanges both many and obvious. There has been one change, however, which has been so diabolically subtle as to escape my notice until today, when it imposed itself upon my consciousness withfrightening suddenness and accompaning shock that it should have gone so long undetected. What,then, was this shocking discovery? Brace yourself, Mister Editor, evil is afoot under your very nose! TheBird Sanctuary flagpole is shrinking! Yes, shrinking! Old Glory, which once waved proudly above itscomplement of guardian firs, is now all but obscured by them. The best efforts of Western's patrioticcaninesâ€”Sarge, Augie, et al- to keep the ground at the pole's base moist and fertile, are of no avail.The pole gains not an inch, while the grounds crew (leftist infiltrated?) makes liberal applications offertilizer in the area of the offending Psuedotsuga Tax-ifolia. This shameful state of affairs, thisdesecration of our country's proud banner, must be brought to an end! The alternatives, (Ruling outapportionment of funds for a new flagpole by our state legislature unlikely before 1972, are these. Wemust: A. Lengthen the pole.B. Shorten the trees. C.

Haubrich was commenting on a speech made by Dr. Arthur Foshay last week. Foshay had stated that prospective teachers should be taking afour year liberal arts course before taking a fifth year of teacher training. Haubrich agreed withFoshay's remarks and added that most college students are too young to give themselves only onealternative and cited teaching as an example. "Many students go into teacher training assophomores, thereby, committing themselves early. ,The five year program, however, gives anincreasing number of options," he said. He mentioned the special five year program which was initiatedhere last year, adding that most of the students were olderâ€”having come from other fields andoccupations. Haubrich felt that such an individual would be a good risk, as he would have made hisdecision to go into education after having a general background. SANFRANCISCO LAWN JOB Editor,The Collegian: Now that the grass has been mowed in San Francisco we can get back to the job offiguring out exactly what will really happen in the political campaigns of 1964. One thing for sure, thepast week has seen a violent shift in the GOP car. One hopes that the machine has a gear for this shiftnationally. But the spectacle is a thoroughly enjoyable farce if you're an American. Pity the foreignerwho understands the political machinery better than we. Imagine those translators trying to explainthis orgy of the common will in the American Party System. I'm sure one couldn't help but get indignantif they understood the conviction with which speaker after speaker bemoans the fact of being the worldpower, the leading nation, the finest example of democracy in the world. But regardless of party sayingthese phrases one can't help but feel that it's a defense mechanism. One seems to have doubts aboutwhat is being thrown to the world. Little do these people realize that this orgy of megalomania is being watched by other countries who are looking for something intelligent to come forth in this show ofemotionalism but if it does and when it does the viewer sees nothing but a camera showing yawningfaces, paper readers and really very disinterested delegates, It's nice to see such minds made up priorto discussion of amendments. I'm not so sure they were even interested in Old Normandys words of latecaution (much too late) to those faithful. Vote after vote, lawn-mowed America, voted down phrasing adocument called a platform which few "bother to read but many often quote. But nevertheless, WASP(White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) voted, yelled and screamed their disapproval o{ leaders' pleas andstayed united behind their lawnmover. And then, if you made it until the very end of Wednesday'ssession, the yardbirds walked around the civil rights demonstration turnstile-in as if to say, "Thosedamn beatniks why don't they become responsible Americans?"

Dr.Wadleigh said that it was common knowledge then as now "that one must feed the face, then talk about right and wrong" so that "Threepenny" is sometimes classed as being immoral without really beingso. The musical is not a musical comedy in the familar sense, but it has music to jar the ear and anironic sense of comedy that is a joke on the audience.

Schneider, a visiting professor on campus this q u a r t e r ,has been described by Dr. Stanl ey Daugert, head of the Philosophy Department as an " i n t e r n a t i o n a l l y famous American philosopher." Schneider is presenting a series of lectures concerning theproblems of human conduct and the problems of personal ways of thinking in a revolutionary time. His first lecture, titled, "Schooling, Learning, and Education," was given Tuesday and described theprocess of personal development. "Although all the lectures are open to the public," Daugert said,"this lecture was specifically for the DCT conference and gave a general theory of education." Hissecond and third lectures will be held at 8 p. m. Tuesday and July 28 in Lecture Hall 4. The secondlecture entitled "John Dewey," deals with the art of self government, and the third- lecture entitled "Global Orientation," states the need for self reorientation. "The lectures," Schneider said, "are chiefly todiscuss the problems of relating philosophical language to the past war world. Especially, I want toimprove a little on existentialism." At present he is trying to develop a more critical and less-jdomantic philosophy of existence. "Our philosophical language for dealing with contemporary world iscarried over from a pre-war world," he said. "We ought to think now of a world neither at war nor atpeace, but in a state j of collective insecurity," Schneider describes himself as J a "social-philosopher"and has'j been working on the history as ( well as the philosophy of religion: He looks at philosophy from thei point of view of man. An author of many books, i Schneider wrote: "A History of ] AmericanPhilosophy," "The,1 Ways of Beign," and "Religion in the Twentieth Century." He is a past president ofthe American Philosophical Association and he was chairman of the Department of Philosophy atColumbia University. He has also served on the UNESCO staff in Paris and on executive boards onthe International Federation of Philosophical Societies and the International Federation for the History ofReligion. At present, he is director of the Blaistell Institute for Advanced Research at ClaremontUniversity in California. WANT ADS $1 An Inch 5c A Word PHONE 734-7600 â€” Ex. 269 Deadline:Wed.

Petordi Prints Start Display Today In VU An exhibition of prints by Gabor Peterdi is opening today in the lounge and foyer of the Viking Union. This show was originated at theSalt Lake Art Center for circulation by the Western. Association of Art Museums. James L. Haseltine, director of Salt Lake Art Center, has said that Peterdi defies classification. "He is classical yetromantic; avant garde and surrealist, yet absorbed with the work of Pis-anello, Mantegna, Polaiuolo, and Uccello; powerful, but delicate; angular and prickly, yet affirming life; evocative, but often brutallydirect; macabre, yet wittyâ€” all fit but none really describes this versatile artist." The exihibtioncontains 58 prints and are mostly from 1957-1961 period. "Side by side with the destructive forces ofman and nature which Peterdi depicts in his iconography of bulls and beasts, webs, and angry seas and skies, we see life affirmed and exultant." Mr. Richard Reynolds, Student Activity Director, said that"he ^M^1 Summer Activities SATURDAY: BOAT TRIP to Victoria, B. C, Canada.

The quartet, one of four scheduled musical accompaniments tothe "Seeing Jazz: Artist Huxley students receive money from Audubon By Jenni Odekirk The WesternFront Dan Beard, senior vice president of the Audubon Society and Western 1998 DistinguishedAlumnus, presented a $1,000 grant to graduate student Natalya Antonova. The Audubon Society is a550,000 member organization focused on birds and the preservation of their habitats. The grant willenable Antonova to go to northwestern Utah from June 15 to July 10 to study, with satellite imagery, theeffects of land-use change on the Ferruginous hawk. â€¢"The satellite equipment costs $1200,"Antonova said. "The money will go directly for that." Antonova began studying the Ferruginous hawk in1996 when she was working at the Bureau of Land Management. "They were studying the nesting habits of the hawks," Antonova said. "The government is looking to put them on the endangered species list,but it needs more information." Antonova said she asked the Audubon Society for funding because itdoes similar research in Utah. Beard said when he and a colleague read Antonova's proposal, the onlyword that came to their minds was "wow." "It's a terrific proposal," Beard said. During the presentation,Robert Monahan, professor emeritus of geography and regional planning, gave six Patrick L. Monahangeography scholarships. Xuehua Zhang, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis in naturalresource concentration, received $2,000 each. Tyson Waldo, a graduate student in geography with anemphasis in international natural resources management, Michelle Watkins, a geography major and anelementary education student, and Eric Youngren, a graduate student in geography with an emphasis inoutdoor and natural resource education, received $1,000 each. Jennifer Bell, a geography major with aresource management emphasis, and Tim Schultz, a graduate student in geography with a resourcemanagement emphasis, received $500 each. The Patrick L. Monahan scholarship fund was establishedby Robert Monahan and his wife in memory of their son after he died in 1974 in a drunk-driving accident.The first scholarship was given in 1975. The Monahans, Western alumni, faculty and staff havecontributed to the fund over the years. The scholarships are given to students based on their potential forcontribution in geography and regional planning, Monahan said. "The government is looking to put(hawks) on the endangered species list..." Dan Beard Audubon Society senior vice president Marinecenter research funded By Matt Renschler The Western Front Western Washington University'sShannon Point Marine Center has, once again, received funds from the National Science Foundation,demonstrating its recognizable educational merit within the scientific community. The NSF has awardedShannon Point $545,000 to help it continue the Minorities in Marine Science Undergraduate Program,which will extend the program through 2004. Each year, Shannon Point recruits eight minority studentsfrom across the nation to study marine science at its campus in Anacortes. These students learnabout the fields of marine science and ecology by participating in laboratory and field researchthroughout the school year. Money from the NSF pays for the students' tuition, housing and travelexpenses. The NSF's decision to extend further funding to Shannon Point was based upon therecognized success of students who have completed the program. Many graduates are already making contributions to the field or pursuing higher education in graduate schools. Stephen Sulkin, a director atShannon Point, said, "This grant is the result of a highly competitive process. Its renewal is a reflection of the hard work and accomplishments of the student participants." Apparently, the NSF has beenespecially impressed with Shannon Point in recent months. Aside from funding the Minorities in MarineScience Undergraduate Program, the NSF has also decided to continue financial support for otherShannon Point programs. In June 1997, the NSF awarded Shannon Point a $520,000 grant for the three-year program. SEARUN's purpose is to involve undergraduates as equal partners in coral biologyresearch. It gives students a chance to tackle a real-life problem and do real research with the aid ofvarious faculty members. Gisele Muller-Parker, Jack Hardy and Suzanne Strom comprise the facultyteam that represents ecological, photobiological, biochemical and optical fields of research. Erin Macri,a research technician and former Shannon Point student emphasized the significance of this cross-disciplinary group of researchers. "What's really unique about this project is they're looking at it from aninterdisciplinary approach," Macri said. Ultimately, it may be the comparisons between the differentaspects of the project that will be responsible for its success. The three-year long project examines thesymbiotic relationship between zooxanthelle (single-celled algae) and corals, and the effect environmental stress- See Grant, page 5 Photo courtesy of Shannon Point Marine Center website A researcher at thecenter dives to collect samples. ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 2 ---------- 2 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS May 15, 1998 Campus Police: May 12, 4 p.m.: Campus policeresponded to a call that bike parts had been stolen at Fairhaven Residence Hall.

Springer isfighting to suppress tabloid shots from the video. He said he vows to find out who set him up. Come outwith your hands up Surrounding a Phoenix motel, police demanded through a bullhorn that WalterHefner â€” wanted on a robbery charge â€” come out and surrender. Hefner complied, and so didtwo other men from another motel room. The pair was wanted for burglary and mistakenly thought thepolice were after them. Would you like to donate your socks? Steven Bain and his buddy StevenGawthrop were arrested in England after police realized they had tricked 15,000 people into giving themthe socks off their feet. They spent their weekends going to bars and persuading drinkers to give themtheir socks for "charity." Apparently these guys had a bizarre sock fetish. When police searchedGawthrop's house, they found thousands of socks everywhere â€” hanging from lampshades, on the furniture, even covering the microwave. Each pair was wrapped in a sandwich bag with the donor's name written on the outside. Bain wasn't as neat as his friend. His socks were just thrown about hisapartment. Police say the apartment had an 18-inch- . deep "carpet" of socks in every . room.Collecting other people's socks isn't a crime in England, but police said they made the discoverybecause the two were under investigation for some kind of sexual misconduct. Getting dizzy over aJeep Three people were declared the winners of a two-month long roller-coaster-riding marathon Monday at the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park. The winners were each awarded a $16,000 JeepWrangler. Originally, only one of the 24 riders who rode ^the Great American Scream Machine thelongest was to get the Jeep, but the three riders would not give up. They broke the American record of11 straight days on a roller coaster and the world record of 23 days. The trio got hourly five-minutebreaks and lunch and dinner breaks of 45 minutes each. They slept for seven hours each night on aplatform near the coaster.

We were planning to move, anyway A woman got the surprise of her life when a rapscalliongeyser erupted on her front lawn in Roturua, New Zealand, spewing water, rocks and mud to heights of40 feet. The geyser flared to life Friday afternoon through the lawn at Karen Herbert's house, andwitnesses said some of the rocks it spewed were the size of small television sets. Roturua is famousfor its geysers, hot springs and pools, but the new geyser became an instant tourist attraction. Thisrogue eruption left the owner a steaming pool 2 yards wide and 3 yards deep. "I'm frightened. I don'tknow what is going to happen, and so I am looking for somewhere else to live," Herbert said as shewatched the bubbling pool.

Insectophobia AnIsraeli woman's fight with a stubborn cockroach put her husband in the hospital with burns, a brokenpelvis and broken ribs, the Jerusalem Post newspaper reported yesterday. The woman, frightenedby the insect when she found it in their living room, stepped on it, threw it in a toilet and sprayed a fullcan of insecticide on it when it refused to die. Her husband came home from work, went to the toiletand lit a cigarette. When he threw the cigarette butt into the bowl, the insecticide fumes ignited,"seriously burning his sensitive parts," the Post wrote.

Shalom Center brings light to lives of others By Robin Skillings The Western Front "I have seen the face of hopelessness, and I have heard thesfrgt; ries â€” many are just struggling with life," said Jason Howland, a Shalom Center volunteer at the Lighthouse Mission. The Lighthouse Mission, a Christian establishment for men, is self-sufficient, yetbenefits greatly from the volunteer program established by Howland, peer ministry communityoutreach coordinator at the Shalom Center. The Shalom Center has been sending two to threevolunteers to the Lighthouse Mission every Tuesday night from 4 to 6:30 p.m. since November 1997,Howland said. "The majority of the residents are homeless," said Carrol McGrady, administrativeassistant of the Lighthouse Mission. "They come to the Mission due to problems in' their life, whetherit be alcoholism, drugs, emotional instability, separation from God â€” losing everything, they end uphere," she said. During the summertime, the population in the mission severely decreases due to thebearable weather, unlike the enormous numbers during fall and winter, McGrady said. "Most of thehomeless are worried and frightened ... They can't go to sleep or rest for fear of someone stealing what little they own," McGrady said, adding, "They come for what we can provide for them â€” the threebasic essentials in life: clothing, food and shelter." "A large number of people see the homeless assomething to be scared of; the Lighthouse Mission helps to break that barrier," Howland said. TheMission offers the homeless men different programs during their stay. After the introductory stay of three to five days, a rehabilitative program :is started, McGrady said. "The program consists of assigningmen chores to accomplish around the Mission and to, attend chapel every evening," McGrady said.The next, step^df the rehabilitative program is the attendance of two lengthy classes per: day for fourdays a week; the men are taught valuable skills needed for seeking employment, McGrady said. "There is a difference in the men when the youth come to volunteer," McGrady said. Instead of seeing themen hang their heads low, they seem to be very receptive, excited and upbeat around the youths, she said. "The noticeable spiritual * growth of these individuals is definitely nice to see; those who havestumbled away from their faith, or even those who have never had one, have been gently introduced back into it," Howland said. "Maybe having the youth around evokes happy memories in these men from their own childhoods," McGrady said. "Any students from Western, no matter their affiliation, are welcome to volunteer down at the Lighthouse Mission," Howland said. Howland said, "Since I have beenvolunteering, I have been able to put a proper face on the important issue of homelessness." "Thehomeless who have come through their detrimental and unimaginable life ordeals have seen God;therefore, they are on a constant upward slope," McGrady said.

"Last year, we had Marriott (supply the food), but they didn't have the stuff wewanted â€” we had.a lot of cheese," said Jennifer Murphy, DIG assistant coordinator. "This year, wedecided to do a potluck." About 40 people trickled through the doors, spurred by free-food rumors spreadby. full and happy tasters, said Ellen Chesley, assistant coordinator for the Sexual Awareness Center. "A lot of people that came in have been in past years," Chesley said. "A lot of people just come in andcrack up." "Aphrodisiacs â€” everyone's kind of intrigued by that," Murphy said. "It's all a myth, anyway,"she added. Informative papers acknowledged most aphrodisiacs have no proven efficiency. "Somepeople take it with a grain of salt, and some people take it very seriously," Chesley said. The potluck.drew people into the lounge, and while they ate, they could read the selection of pamphlets abouteverything from the" medical uses of marijuana to facts and myths surrounding sexual assault. "It's areally good way to get out information about our offices," Chesley said. The DIC obtained informationabout aphrodisiacs from Internet sources, magazine articles and various tidbits from its files. Brightlycolored papers identified numerous familiar and unfamiliar aphrodisiacs, such as yohimbine andginseng, which have been used to aid potency in males. Chocolate is well-known for it's release ofphenylethyamine, the chemical produced in the brain when people fall in love. Peaches, sugar andtomatoes have been associated with love; chili and garlic with passion; and papaya and turnips withemotion. What are we missing? Ah, yes, the famous green mms. They were there, but not to eat. Agoblet bearing a sign inviting anyone to guess the number of candies it contained. Participants wereentered in a raffle. The film "Like Water for Chocolate" was shown after the potluck. "The whole movie is about food and its different effects," Murphy said. "It has a lot to do with aphrodisiacs." page 1 fjlalei^^ Healthy choices for any lifestyle Whether your fixing a quick heat and serve meal, or your cooking allday.

Portland's Elliott Smith will grace Bellingham with a performance at 8 p.m. tonight inthe Viking Union Main Lounge. One may recognize Smith as former member of the band Heatmiser orfrom his work on the soundtrack of Gus Van Zant's recent film, "Good Will Hunting." Smith has sixtracks on the soundtrack, and his efforts got him nominated for an Academy Award for Best OriginalSong. This is a surprising accomplishment, especially considering Smith's deep indie-rock roots.Smith has just released his third album, "Either/Or," on Olympia's Kill Rock Star label, and so far it hasreceived nothing but praise. The critics have raved about Smith's song writing skills from day one, andafter three solo albums and all the hype surrounding "Good Will Hunting," Smith's music is gaining morerecognition from the mainstream. However, a complete acceptance by mainstream music listeners isunlikely, because most critics agree that Smith's songs are too good to be tarnished on the radio next tobands such as Matchbox 20 and Seven Mary Three. Smith's modern-day folk music is mostly orientedaround his acoustic guitar. His soff whisper-like vocals give his music an intimate sincerity that leaves the listener with no choice but to believe every word being sung. Although it's a comment Smith may notwant to hear, his music is often compared to that of Paul Simon, and critics have most notably dubbedhim the next Bob Dylan. However flattering or irritating these comparisons may seem, one must notjump to conclusions, for a sincere quality is evident in Smith's music that is uniquely his own. Smith'sperformance tonight is definitely one that you don't want to miss. Also scheduled to perform are Quasi(another band with a former member of Heatmiser) and Birddog. Tickets are $6 for students and $7 for the general public. Doors open at 8 p.m., so don't be late.

The castmembers added a few of their own elements and ideas to the play, making it even .more entertaining.Unlike William Shakespeare's original play, Western's production of "The Tempest" is set in a non-temporal place of nowhere. The costumes are reflective of this non-era. The production includedimaginative costumes and an original set. In the opening scene, the cast acted out a seastorm aboard a ship, complete with fog, lightning, thunder and screaming passengers. The storm ended with ashipwreck and the survivors finding themselves on a seemingly deserted island. Prospero, who controlsthe desert island, wore robes and carried a long wooden staff, much like Moses. Alonsa, Queen ofNaples, looked like a misfit leftover from the '60s. Caliban, clad in leather motorcycle chaps and vest,wore webbed gloves and a ridged shell on his back to portray the monstrous slave of the island.Sebastian and Antonio, dressed as gangsters from the 1930s, armed themselves with small daggers.Perhaps the most animated character of them all, Ariel, danced around the stage in a sparkling silveroutfit with M.C. Hammer-like shorts. The performers combined romance with comedy to draw theaudience onto their island and into their fantasy world, full of spirits and magic. The play is full ofsuggestion, and various themes, such as power, vengeance, forgiveness, justice, mercy andreconciliation, surface throughout the play. The play may be seen as merely entertainment, or it may beanalyzed for political, moral and social issues. Some of the scenes were disconnected and allowedthe audience to interpret their meanings. A few of the actors really lost themselves in their charactersand became the scene-stealers. Ariel, a spirit of the air and servant to Prospero, played by Laura"'{Jfie tempest1 is a must-see performance, even i r j /Â»gt; vant l-rospero, tgt;y IT UOU Qre nOt QDICJ Bohn, climbed and danced around . . stage, all the time singing and SfidfteSpeCire 6uff. rhymingShakespeare's words, J J J convincing the audience that spirits really do exist. Stephano, a drunkenbutler played by Christopher Bange, stumbled around the stage, singing drinking songs and deliveringtimely one-liners. Trinculo, the jester, played by Sarah Petty, was a perfect match as Stephano'ssidekick. Western's production of "The Tempest" is a must-see performance, even if-you are not a bigShakespeare buff. The cast did not change Shakespeare's words or the Elizabethan language, but donot fear â€” the play is easy to understand and still enjoy. One of Shakespeare's most famous lines fromthe play may ring true for the cast and crew involved in the production, "This is such stuff as dreams aremade on."

Of late,Spain and Cole have been immersing themselves in the treacherous and risky waters of independentconcert promotion. Recently they have booked some big-name acts, such as Harvey Danger, Goodnessand VOG. Despite the uncertainty that is stock-in-trade of their business, the Lucky Devil boys have lofty goals. "World domination," Spain joked. "No, we're just taking things as they come." "One of ourbiggest goals is to build up the local music scene up again, because it's really fallen apart over the lastcouple of years," he said. "Bands used to get along a lot better," Cole said. "They'd come out andsupport another band even if they weren't as in to them." Spain and Cole said they are hoping Lovefest'98, a three-day concert they are promoting at The Doublewide, will be a step in the direction of creatingunity among Bellingham musicians. "We're calling it Lovefest kind of as a joke, because most of thesebands don't know each other, have never played with each other and don't necessarily get along," Spainsaid. "With this show, they'll at least get a chance to meet each other." Another target for Lucky Devil isgetting people to come out to see live shows in Bellingham. "At The Doublewide, you can put a greatband in there, and 40 or 50 people will show up," Spain said. "But if you put Aaron (Roeder), the owner,spinning greatest hits of the '70s CDs on a Wednesday night, and it's packed." "Everyone's just going out for the DJ thing and not really for live music," he said. "But everything goes in cycles; it's just the wayit goes. But we're trying to fight it." "Not with just local bands; we're trying to do more shows with jazzbands or more folkier-type bands," Cole added. "It's not just the indie-rock scene we're trying to build up." "A good example is a show we had at the VU with Buffalo Daughter who are on the Beastie Boys'label, Grand Royal, and this band is amazing liveâ€” they sell out everywhere they play," Spain said."They sold out Seattle; they sold out Portland; then they came here and there was 50 people there. Imean, what's wrong with this picture?" Spain and Cole have also started a monthly magazineFront/Jesse Kinsman Sean Spain (left) and Brent Cole of Lucky Devil Productions take a break from abusy day of the music biz. Front/Jesse Kinsman Local must promoter Sean Spainâ€”a lucky devilindeed. called What's Up that is devoted to covering local bands and the local music and arts scene.They said the magazine is in response to the lack of coverage local bands receive from the press."You're not going to open up Northwest Events and see and article on Batfarm or Slick Watts or Sharpieor any of these bands," Spain said. "For a while, there was no support for these bands," he added. "If itwasn't for (What's Up), a lot of these bands would get no press whatsoever." "What we're really trying todo is cover more things that aren't ours," Cole added. They also said they plan for the 4,000-circulationmagazine to add an arts and entertainment section in the May issue. Both of the Lucky Devils gottheir start in the booking business getting shows for their own bands. Cole worked at getting showcasesfor local bands around Bellingham, while in his band, The Creeps from Planet X. He said he went to TheDoublewide and arranged shows with Roeder for his other bands. Spain said he learned the ropes findinggigs for his band Uncle Squirrley, in Yakima, before he moved west to Bellingham. Once he got here, hestarted to meet other bands and began to book shows for everybody. Then, he got a job as the bookingagent for The Royal Room, where he worked for nearly a year. By the time he left The Royal, he hadbegun to make contacts within the music industry, so he decided to try his hand at getting shows forbigger venues, such as The Cosmos, which had just opened at the time. Spain left The Cosmosshortly before it closed three months ago, after working there for a year. With Lucky Devil, Spain andCole are trying to work with as many venues as possible. They said that though Russell Sports Inn istheir primary venue, they also work with The Doublewide, The Up Up, Stuart's Coffeehouse and also the Viking Union. Spain said that despite the rewards of bringing live music to the people of Bellingham,heavy risks are involved with their job. "Being an independent promoter is a lot like gambling," Spainsaid. "What people don't realize is if not enough money is made at the door, somebody is coughing upthe extra money." Spain said the two recently lost a lot of money on a show VOG played at Stuart's amonth ago. "Being musicians and music lovers, we'll take the risk," Spain said. "But after the show, itwas like, 'Hey, VOG; that was a great show and we're glad we did it, but it kind of sucked that we lostmoney." "It goes both ways, but sometimes it gets really risky." he added.

By Steve Leslie The Western Front Music poured from the Viking Union MainLounge last Friday night from a concert that featured Bellingham-based band the Posies. Despite theVU's horrible acoustics, it continues to be the center for rock shows at Western. Mummery, the firstband, received a less-than- warm reception from an audience that didn't even fill up a quarter of the venue. Mummery sounded as though it was merely visiting from the '80s, resembling Elvis Costello at timesâ€” keyboards and all. Mummery pulled out all stops in order to please the audience, even throwing hand-fuls of candy into the largely unaffected crowd. Okay, it was a rough audience, but no one ever said itwas easy being an opening band. Gradually, more people appeared in front of the stage for the second band, Frequency dB. This trio had a nice sound that was supported by its effects-drenched guitar.The great tone of the guitar went well with the bands' slow, melodic style. Frequency dB displayed some good examples of how music can be slow and still retain great energy. The band did play a couple ofquirky songs that didn't quite seem to fit into the rest of its repertoire, but overall it was a good group. By the time the Posies were ready to play, the VU was about half full. Singer/guitar player Ken Stringfellowstarted the set off by wishing his own band a happy 10-year anniversary. This only made the fans moreeager to hear the band play. During the first three songs, Stringfellow moved around with such fierceenergy it was amazing that he didn't rip his guitar in half. Surprisingly, through all of his jumping,spitting and stamping, Stringfellow hit every note with superb accuracy; but that's where 10 years ofplaying rock 'n' roll will get you. The Posies played songs from most of their albums, even pleasing theirlongtime fans by playing some old favorites such as "Suddenly Mary" and "Solar Sister." The Posiesplayed extremely well in spite of a sound system and room acoustics that didn't do the band justice. The band's well-balanced set went from heavy and hard to sullen and sweet. The Posies also had a veryunique way of slipping sadness into happy songs. For example, the song "Precious Moments" had a happy and uplifting feel with very sad lyrics: "Life and its precious moments like a flood that you can'treverse, life and its precious moments and it's only getting worse ..." This element of the band'ssongwriting is only one of the many things that has attracted fans over the years. The Posies' vocalswere also in prime form, hitting harmonies dead-on with dynamics that brought their music to anotherlevel. The Posies truly are a great live band and Friday's show was another prime example of this. It's ashame if one Posies fan out there hasn't had a chance to see them live, especially considering the fact that they won't be around much longer. But hey, there really are no excuses, because the Posieshave been playing for 10 years. If you snooze, you lose. Harvey Danger rips up Russell's By CoreyLewis The Western Front Take a loca^band that has started to make it big nationwide; put it in asmall venue for an intimate show. Now add an amazing opening band. A lot of people should be there,right? Not in Bellingham. Harvey Danger, the Seattle-based band you may know as the creators of"Flagpole Sitta," the oft-played single that has been on Seattle radio station 107.7 KNDD-FM, playedlast Friday at Russell Sports Inn. This is the first show I have seen at Russell's, and I was impressed.The venue is large but not cavernous like, say, The Cosmos, where absolutely no atmosphere is tobe found. Downstairs at Russell's is big enough to pack in a big crowd, yet still keep an intimateatmosphere. But the crowd was not big Friday. By the time Harvey Danger came to the stage atmidnight, the crowd had thinned out to about 150 to 200 people. Although a lot of people missed out onan amazing show, the extra elbow room was nice. Danger opened with "Woolly Muffler," from itsdebut album, "Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?" With roaring guitar riffs from Jeff Lin'sinstrument as he stumbled from side to side, singer Sean Nelson bounced around the center of thestage and sang in his oddly high, but really cool-sounding voice. The performance was tight; Nelsonnever got into the screaming bit that has plagued so many bands. I don't know the words to any oftheir songs, but I could understand what Nelson was saying the whole time, and that's a rarity. Theinstruments were also mixed perfectly; it sounded as though the band spent its major-label money well. The band also exuded tons of energy, which showed in the crowd â€” it actually started moving.Throughout the show, all four members of the band were bouncing, lunging and dancing around thestage. The energy also came across in their music. All of the guitar riffs were bouncy and well-driven bythe rhythm section of drummer Evan Suit and bassist Aaron Huffman. After performing a few songsthat aren't on its album, the band launched into "Flagpole Sitta." With Nelson singing while playing anorgan, the band performed its hit masterfully. "Now I'm an amputee, God damn you!" That's a great song. The rest of the show kind of slowed in momentum as people started to file out, but Harvey Dangerplayed on with intensity, proving to the remaining crowd that it is a great live band. However, HarveyDanger was not the treat of the show. Local band Death Cab For Cube was Front/Barney BenedictsonHarvey Danger's Sean Nelson (left) and Jeff Lin sit atop their flagpole at Russell's. the toy surprise at thebottom of the Cracker Jack box. Its brand of melodic, thick rock 'n' roll is as impressive as it is moving.Death Cab's music blends melodic guitar parts and driving, complex drum beats with leadsinger/guitarist Ben Gibbard's beautiful voice. It makes for a Beatles-esque sound that's very ear-pleasing. They put on an incredible live show. The sound was crisp and dear even though theamplification consisted only of mics in front of what looked like a 1960s amplifier. But I guess the lo-fiapproach was what they were going for. All four musicians in Death Cab proved they are immenselytalented. Complicated drum parts seemed to jump off drummer Nate Good's sticks as he pounded onhis small kit. Good's drums were the backbone of Death Cab's sound, with guitarists Gibbard andChris Walla and bassist Nicolas Harmer adding the rest of the layers of sound. From their first song on,they had the crowd hooked. The crowd swayed, bobbed heads and even shuffled around a littlethroughout Death Cab's set, which seemed like a lot of effort for the subdued crowd.

He played inhigh school for a club team, Eastside Lacrosse, and just finished his third season playing for Western.He said he enjoys midfield because it is a mix of playing offense and defense. "You get to play offenseand score goals," Worden said. "You also get to play defense and put people on the ground." He saidother team leaders this season included Ryan Mills, midfielder; Dylan Meyers, goalie; Anthony Braxton,defense; and Erin O'Neal, attack. "We're losing Mills next year," Worden said. "He was the midfieldcaptain; he carried us through a good part of the season." Worden is referring to the semi-final gamein which Western beat Whitman 11- 9. The Vikings came back from a 2-7 half-time deficit â€” on thepower of five goals by Mills. "We came back and crushed them," he said. "This was the worst thing thatcould have happened to Whitman because we did the exact same thing to them earlier this season."Worden said the lacrosse team expected to do well this season. "Western has always had a reallystrong talent base for as long as I can remember," he said. "We always get a number of good lacrosseplayers coming to Western Washington, and we're glad to have them," he said. He said the high pointof the season was beating Whitman College the second time in the semi-finals in Portland, Ore. "Therewere a bunch of fans, both relatives and alumni," Worden said. "And then it was just a really goodgame; it was an exciting come-from-behind win." "The low point was losing to Simon Fraser the firsttime," Worden said. "We played a couple tough games, but they simply beat us that day which was kind of tough to handle." Worden said during the season, Simon Fraser was ranked between third and fifth,while Western was ranked between 13th and 15th. "In the final game, even though we lost in the end, itwas fun because it was two teams of relatively comparable skill levels that played as well as they eachcould play," Worden said. "That's the most fun I've ever had in a lacrosse game." Worden said althoughthe season is over, some of the team members will still go out and practice once a week just for fun."We'll get together once a week and scrimmage â€” not even as preparation for next year," he said. Hesaid preparation for next year will begin in the fall, when team members find out who the new players are. "In the fall, we will find out who all our new rookies are and how they fit into the team," Worden said."We have a lot of people coming back; there are some people we aren't sure if Front/Jesse KinsmanWester midfielder Steve Worden looks ahead to next year's lacrosse season. they're leaving or not, which is kind of tough," Worden said. "We're losing three of our really important middies," he said. "Rightnow, I might be the only starting middie coming back next year, so I might have to step it up and maybedo a little bit of leadership in the midfield â€” which I'm looking forward to doing," Worden said. His goalfor next season is to beat Simon Fraser. "They're going to be really good because they are only losingtwo guys; they'll pretty much be the same team they were this year," Worden said. "It will bechallenging next year because we are losing some key people." He also said the team does not knowyet if its coach, Tony Esser, will return. "He is one of the major reasons that we had the great record wedid," Worden said. "Western never really actually had a coach before this year." "He came out andcoached us this year and did a really good job," Worden said. "If he wants to come back, we'd love tohave him." As for next year's team, Worden said, "Look for another good Western lacrosse team; we'relosing some valuable people, but we also have a lot of excellent returning talent."

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY FOUNDATION ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 11 ---------- May 15, 1998 SPORTS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 11 . Surprise! Sorties lose, so now what? Matt Jaffe COMMENTARY Here we are again, mid-May, and Sonics are back in Seattle watching the playoffson their couches instead of on the court where they belong. After being eliminated by the Los AngelesLakers in the second round Tuesday night, the Sonics have six months to regroup, ponder changes andprepare for next season. This year's playoff loss is a bit different than past losses. Throw out game two,in which the Sonics were blown out, 92-68, and they played an almost flawless series. The Lakerssimply played better. It's not like the Sonics blew a 2-0 lead to a No. 8-seeded Denver team. They didnot blow several home leads to an aging Houston team that eventually beat them in a game seven. Thisloss was a lot easier to swallow. It is similar to the situation the Sonics faced in 1996, when they madethe NBA finals and lost to what was arguably the greatest team of all time, the 1995-1996 Chicago Bullsand their 72-10 regular-season record. However, this loss has the sports world running wild withspeculation about the future of the Sorties^ and especially Coach George Karl. Karl has had remarkableregular-season success, posting a 384-150 record since taking over as Sonics head coach. It hasbeen the history of playoff losses, to Denver in '94, the Lakers in '95, Houston in 1997 and the Lakersagain this year that has Karl on the hot seat. Should the Sonics let Karl go, it would be their biggestmistake since June of 1987f when they traded their first-round draft pick out of Central Arkansas toChicago for Olden Polynice. Anyone want to guess who that was? If you said Scottie Pippen, you win a cookie. Well, not really. Eleven years and five NBA titles later for the Bulls, and you can be the judge ofwho got the better of that deal. Forcing Karl out will be a blunder of equal magnitude. Karl has therespect of his players. The fraiv chise, Gary Payton, has publicly gone to bat on Karl's behalf a numberof times. Other players express the same loyalties as well. Some positives can be taken from thisseason. Payton has assumed the role of "the man" well since the trade of Shawn (I am your father,Luke) Kemp. While on the subject of that trade, Kemp's replacement, Vin Baker, has made Seattle fans forget the Reign Man. Baker struggled throughout most of the playoffs, but he started to turn things on at the end of the Lakers series. His early struggles may be attributed to his lack of big-game experience.After playing college ball at storied Hartford, and then at the proud Milwaukee Bucks franchise in the NBA, Baker played in a grand total of zero postseason games. Experience will solve those problems."... This loss has the sports world running wild with speculation about the future of the Sonics, andespecially Coach George Karl." In terms of rebuilding and free agency, the Sonics do not have muchflexibility. They have contracts committed to Payton, Baker, Detlef Schrempf, Hersey Hawkins and DaleEllis. Oh, and who could forget, center Jim Mclllvaine will also be with-us. Until 2003. I am not doggingJimmy Mac; he is an effective shot blocker â€” for the 15 minutes he plays each game. However, such adeal on the part of team General Manager Wally Walker was foolish. This gives them very littleflexibility under the salary cap to pursue a big-name, youthful free agent this year, such as the Nets'Jayson Williams, Pip-pen (well, kind of youthful), or Philadelphia's Jerry Stack-house. The one area in which the Sonics sorely lacked this year was physical â€” rebounding presence inside. ForwardJerome Kersey added energy and helped in this department, but he cannot do it alone. So the Sonicswill remain venerable, old veterans for next year. ' Letfe hear it for mortgaging the future! To the regularfollower of Sonics' basketball, this should not come as a surprise. Six years of draft blunders andmiscalculations has led to this. Yes, the Sonics picked up James Cotton in the second round last year,but how often did he play? Actually, the Sonics' last first-round draft pick who is still with the team isPayton, who was taken number two overall in 1990. That is seven years and counting since the lastsuccessful draft. Anyone remember Rich King? How about Doug Christie? Who could forget SherrellFord? Ervin Johnson lacked magic too. The Sonics actually came very close to passing on their first-round draft pick in 1996, which would have been a first in NBA history â€” a record to be proud of. In theuseless-fact department, Christie is the only one who is still in the NBA, tearing it up for the esteemedToronto Raptors. Ford is in the CBA, somewhere. Assuming the NBA starts up next fall, and with theNBA labor situation, that's no sure thing, the Sonics will keep the same core of players; the supportingcast may be different. Nate McMillan is retiring. Big Smooth, Sam Perkins, will probably be gone aswell. Greg Anthony should get a raise somewhere, if not in Seattle, after his strong play at the pointthis year. Add a role player in the mold of Terry Cummings for rebounding, and things might improve.Will they be able to compete with the Lakers? Probably not. However, before we start calling theLakers a dynasty, they will have some free-agent questions to answer. Kobe Bryant will be eligible togo elsewhere, and Shaquille O'Neal and his mighty elbows can opt out of their contract after nextseason as well. Once the coach issue is resolved, and we can only hope it will result in George Karlreturning, things should get interesting, but not as interesting as one might hope them to be. g ~ * lt; 9S 5 J L ^ ; TbEFAlR^ Mhij -, ,.

Pitcher Alison Haukaas, catcher /first baseman Cathy Johnson,outfielder Jen Brandolini, pitcher/first baseman Devon Fliss and catcher/third baseman Andie Greenen all made the team. Haukaas, Johnson and Brandolini all received unanimous votes for the all-star team.Brandolini had a very impressive season. She was named PNWAC hitter of the year and is currentlyworking on extending an 18-game hitting streak. She led the PNWAC in four categories, setting schoolrecords in each of them. Brandolini led the league with a batting average of .454, 64 hits, 40 runs scoredand 27 stolen bases. "She is the spark that gets the team moving," Johnson said. Brandolini wasalso named PNWAC player of the week twice and regional player of the week once. Brandolini holdsWestern's career marks for hits (139), runs scored (90), stolen bases (65), home runs (5), at bats (398),games (121) and triples (8). "This season was a real turn around for her from last season," Coach ArtPhinney said. "She had a good season last year, but this year she really took off. She is one of thereasons our offense is so powerful." Johnson led the league in two categories: RBI's (41) and doubles(15). Both are school records. She batted .408 on the season and tied the school mark for home runswith five. Johnson was named PNWAC player of the week twice and regional player of the week once."It is a big honor for me to be named an all-star; if s very exciting," Johnson said. "(Johnson is) reallyconsistent: 41 RBI in 41 games. For being such an aggressive hitter, she just does not strike out,"Phinney said. Haukaas was named to the all-star team for the third straight season. She closed out the season with 1.29 ERA and a 7-2 record. "She is a fun pitcher to catch for," John- - son said. "Ali'samazing," Johnson added. "She spent most of the season rehabilitating her arm. She didn't lose anything from last season, and she is even a better pitcher this season after the injury." "It would be easy totake for granted what Alison brings to the team," Phinney said. Front/Jesse Kinsman Western's FabFive Fastpitch Softballers: Outfielder Jen Brandolini, pitcher/first baseman Devon Fliss, catcher/thirdbaseman Andie Greenen, pitcher Alison Haukaas and catcher/first baseman Cathy Johnson. "When shepitches, her teammates always know they can win." Fliss had a league best 0.95 ERA and a team-leading 84 strikeouts in 88-and-one-third innings. Fliss also accumulated an 11-5 record with a team-leading nine complete games, four shutouts and three saves. Fliss was also named PNWAC player ofthe week. "It feels really good to do the job that the team expects you to do," she said. Fliss batted.314 on the year and said she was pleased with her improvement at the plate last season. "I amreally proud of my hitting," Fliss said. "I worked really hard from last year and relaxed at the plate; it feltgood." "She wants the ball, and her teammates are developing the confidence in Devon as "...All of thestats and everything that happened doesn't mean a thing once we get to Oklahoma." Cathy JohnsonCatcher/first baseman they already have for Alison," Phinney said. Greenen had a very strong offensiveseason, batting .344 with 44 hits and 27 RBI â€” second only to Johnson on the team. Greenen alsowas perfect on the base paths, stealing 12 bases in 12 attempts. "Andie is a complete hitter; she hasall the speed to lead off and all the power to bat clean-up on most teams," Phinney said. Fliss said sheloved to have Greenen catch for her and she has a great amount of respect for the way that Greenentakes control of the game when she is catching. "She is great; she keeps me in the game and makesme stay .focused," Fliss said. Phinney said he is pleased with the output of his hitters. Of the 100stolen bases on the team this season, 75 of them came from the first four hitters in the line-up. Greenen, Brandolini and Johnson accounted for 49, with the remainder coming from outfielder Sonya Joseph,who had 26. Combined, they had an 89-percent success rate. "Our top four hitters scare theopposing pitchers and teams," Phinney said. "They make them nervous and tight when any one of themstep to the plate." The team will travel May 19 through 22 to Broken Arrow, Okla., to face No. 4-seed-edSouthern California College. "I had a fun season," Johnson said, "but all of the stats and everything thathappened doesn't mean a thing once we get to Oklahoma." "I am not satisfied with just making it tothe national championships," Johnson added. "I don't want this team to be satisfied with just going to the national championship," Phinney said. "Everything we have done to this point doesn't matter when we step on the field Tuesday." ---------- Western Front - 1998 May 15 - Page 13 ---------- # May 15, 1998 THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 13 WWU GURs Available from Independent LearningCommunications Block B: English 201 (4) Humanities: Classical Studies 260 (3); English 216 (4), 281 (4)and 283 (4); History 103 (5), 104 (5) and 112 (5); Liberal Studies 232 (4); Music 104 (3) Social Sciences: Anthropology 201 (5); Canadian-American Studies 200 (5); Linguistics 204 (4); Psychology 201 (5);Sociology 201 (5) Comparative, Gender, and Multicultural Studies: Anthropology 353 (4); East Asian 201(5) and 202 (5); English 335 (4) and 338 (4); History 280 (5); Women Studies 211 (4) Mathematics: Math102 (5), 107 (3), 124 (5), 125 (5), 156 (4), 157 (4), and 240 (3) Natural Sciences B: Environmental Studies 110 (3) See WWU '97-98 Bulletin for explanation of GURs.

Since the start of the human "reign of terror," extinctions have gone from two or threeevery thousand years to about a thousand every two or three year. During our evolution somethingsomewhere triggered a jump in our mental capacity that gave us self-realization, the ability to see beautyand above all, made us the only species that could effect the natural environment as much as it couldeffect us. . As well as being an incredible gift with a potential we may never fully realize, thisconsciousness also has bestowed upon us an awesome responsibility. This is a responsibility to thinkbeyond selfish pleasure and remember the restof the delicate web that existed in beauty billions of yearsbefore us, gave us all we have and will surely thrive again if we finally perish. While my mind wanderedthrough these, issues I came across an abstract theory. The theory was published in the 1984 article"Governance in the Planetary Age," by Catherine Burton, in In Context magazine. Catherine suggestslooking at the Earth as "Gaia", or one living being. If you see all life on Earth as part of the whole, Gaia,you can see the peak in human consciousness as the brain or nervous system of that planet being.Here's the fun part: Burton's theory suggests this "mind" has only matured to the level of a 13-year-old.This adolescence analogy clearly illustrates the sometimes-frustrating-and-Tidiculous, sometimes-beautiful- and-poetic nature of people. Just as adolescence is a definitive time for humans so it is for Gaia herself. It's a time to gather all the knowledge and experience of infancy and childhood and decide whatyou stand for; what you believe in. So if indeed we are here, teenagers ready to face a life of adulthood, maybe it's time to reevaluate our basic outlook. In a culture of development driven by immediate ratherthan long-term benefits, we see profit incentives and financial gain as motivations instead of sustainability and life itself. This planet being, this Gaia, is a resource for our use. But more than that, it is the miracleof life spinning through space that we have been given the chance to use responsibly. What strikes me is that we can make it as beautiful as we want, yet we crowd it with used car lots, McDonald's restaurantsand strip malls. We create tools like lawn mowers, cellular phones and drive-up teller machines to makelife easier while they only add to the noise and chaos of a life of stress. It's hard to deny that we havedeveloped this resource beyond natural, sustainable consumption. So here we exist at now, the time ofultimate potential. While you're here, I want to simply suggest â€” no plead â€” mat you question theestablishment that was here when we were born. Consider the potential of our situation and think yourown thoughts. Walking down Samish Way the other day, thinking about the planet, I wondered what Iwould build here if it was still an open canvas. Walking onto the driveway of McDonald's, I stared at theconcrete gliding along under me. Suddenly my stride was cut short by a low Honda Civic pulling into thedrive-thru. Watching my reflection in the driver's window as she passed, our eyes met, but she wentquickly back to her phone call without a nod. I walked on down the way. â€” Karl Horeis, Accent EditorThe Western Front Editor: Kristen T.

The rating systems required of televisionprograms does nothing for live television, and parents may no longer use the television as a baby-sitter.News cameras : "~ "' capturing a man ending his own life is a perfect example of why television viewerscan no longer trust the raring system. I am not in favor of TV censorship and feel it is the parents'responsibility to be active in what their children watch. But what happens when parents turn their backs for one minute and breaking news shows a man shooting himself in the head in traffic? This incident was a reality to those children and their parents watching television last week. Many news stationspreempted their regular programming, including two stations showing cartoons, to air live coverage of aman setting fire to his truck, killing his dog in the process. The man, on live television, rolled around onthe ground and pulled off his burning pants and underwear. The man then climbed onto an overpasssidewall as if to jump. He man then shot himself in the head. Why, at this point, didn't news stationconsider using caution in airing this incident live, especially those two channels airing children'sprogramming? Los Angeles news stations were bombarded with angry viewers calling to complain aboutthe gruesome suicide. Most of the stations apologized, but KTLA News Director Jeff Wald wasunapologetic about his decision to broadcast the suicide. "We're not in the censorship business, we arein the news business," Wald said. "It is our duty to tell people what is going on." "" I understand hispoint of view; we have a right to freedom of the press. However, shouldn't news organizations respect who is watching their shows? Is it appropriate to preempt a cartoon to air a live suicide, even if people maywant to know? But these incidents don't end in L.A. Within the last few months I can think of numeroustimes television viewers in our state were witnesses to breaking news of potentially dangeroussituations, whether it was a man dangling from an electrical wire in an airplane, or a man holdinghostages in an Auburn bank only to later shoot himself in a suicide attempt. KOMO TV provided a rareinstance of television sensitivity recently, showing an attempted suicide in taped, limited coverageform. At what point should the media be responsible for distasteful stories, or should someone be heldaccountable for allowing live coverage of potentially fatal incidents? As the Wald said, the media is in thebusiness of informing, whether you like it or not. You do have the option to shut the TV off. Needleexchange program shot down Corey Lewis COMMENTARY Last week, the White House adlministration sent a sobering message to AIDS activists and the rest of American people: The government won't tryanything new to protect its people from the spreading AIDS epidemic. Bill Clinton's administrationrejected a plan that would have allocated federal money to a nationwide needle-exchange program â€”something that is needed badly in this country. Stunningly, it was rejected even though White Houseofficials recognize that needle exchange is an effective tool in AIDS prevention and does not promote drug use. This maneuver prompted Clinton's "AIDS czar," Sandy Thurman, to renounce the decision; he hadsupported the program, adding he was insulted by the White House administration's decision. To addinjury to insult, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill last week that went beyond the WhiteHouses decision, enacting a ban on all federal funding of needle-exchange programs. But the rejection ofthis program and the administration's move- also raised an interesting question. Why should the federal government deny a group basic medical needs simply because it is perceived as a lower class ofcitizens? The debate has long raged over whether or not drug addicts are in the positions they are inbecause of their own carelessness and lack of responsibility, or whether they are helplessly ensnared bythe disease of addiction. Obviously, the officials of the White House and the House of Representatives believe the former and feel the risk of AIDS is a punishment for their bad habits. Americans will have to tackle tackle the problem of how to stop the spread of AIDS, especially among those the disease ishitting the hardest: intravenous drug users. The Clinton administration is acting in a reckless andshortsighted manner to believe a federally-funded, needle-exchange program would not be a weaponagainst this problem. America needs to set a worldwide example in the fight against AIDS. Why doesn'tthe country take pride in being the leader going into any international conflict? We, as Americanpeople, need to demand the government create a firm, feasible plan that protects every Americancitizen against AIDS. We need to demand the government realize that AIDS affects human beings, notjust drug addicts, homosexuals and promiscuous people.

Many interesting letters have accompanied the pledges or remittances. Among the cheering words received are the following: Mrs. C. X. Larrabee: "Relative to the Student Loan Fund," I shall be very glad to be counted as one of your •contributors. I am happy to know there is such a fund, and feel personally grateful to the gentlemen who are giving so largely toward it." Mr. C.K. McMillan, Cashier, Northwestern National Bank: "We certainly wish to compliment you on the splendid success you have had in securing subscriptions to the Student (Continued on Page Two) GREETINGS DEAK STUDENT FETENDS : The winning of the great World War is our present obligation. But reconstruction days will follow and those educated in our normal schools must be especially. fitted to guide community thought in the trying times ahead. You will therefore enter into your work with thoughtful enthusiasm. Feel free to call upon any of the appointed agents of the school for counsel as you make decisions. Be alert and active in all patriotic and humanitarian movements. Give generously of your strength and of your goods as calls may come. But while giving yourself to the serious problems that confront you be sure to put joy into your work and get happiness out of it. The faculty desire this to be your best school year and we shall cooperate with you to that end. Sincerely yours, G-. W. NASH, President. SHOULD FILL NORMAL "On the character and ability of the teacher's, everything de(pends," says Dr. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education, in urging boys and girls to enter normal schools and prepare for teaching this year. "Besides the thousands of mem who have been drafted or have volunteered for service in the army, other thousands of men and many thousands of women have quit the work of teaching for employment in industries, commerce, civil service, and clerical positions where they are paid better than for teaching. As the war continues and as the cost of living increases, and the demand for services of the kind teachers can render grows v (Continued on Page Two) MISS GEMMELL LEAVES S Miss Nina Gemmell, a former student of the Normal, who leaves soon as a missionary to the Inland China Mission, gave a very inspiring talk to the Y. W. C. A. girls, Thursday, Oct. 3. She took as her text the first part of the last verse of the 138th Psalm: "The Lord will protect that which con-cerneth me," and with that promise in her heart she is willing to go into Inland China and teach God's word to the heathen. The mission to which she is going is interdenominational and pays no salaries, the missionaries being . supported wholly by donations. She is undertaking a most noble work and her life will be an inspiration to many Y. W. C. A. girls. THE FUTURE JOYS OUR LECTURE OF E You have had a taste of the 1918-19 Lecture Course. Now let me tell you something about what is coming. That one little page in the "B" book gives you no idea of what this course means! Just a word about the "Past Joys" before we take up the "Future" ones. After hearing Dr. H. H. Powers lecture on "The Deeper Causes of the War," you will probably want more of his work. It is a pleasure to be able to tell you that your wishes may be gratified in his book, "The Things Men Fight For." The Future Joys—on the seventeenth of this month the editor of the-": "New England Journal of Education," Dr. Winship of Boston, will address - us. His subject has not yet been ian-/^ nounced. That it will be a pleasurev and a help to all Normal students goes ; without saying. ' i-^...ji Just think of the possibilities of a •course of lectures on Vocational Gruid;:.i; ance for the returned soldier! Th'at * is what Mrs. Anna Y. Reed of Seattle;^ is to give us from- October 28 to No- • vemiber 8. '"'"•"'"' Bess Gearhart Morrison can best be known through the words of the Lyceum Bureau, "She has known and re-.., members vividly the intimacies of want, longing, the spirit of childhood, love, disappointment, betrayal, misery, mortgages, pestilence, prison chains and toils, war, utter lonliness, tumultuous ovations, work undone, marked achievements, great occasions, hi£ 'i honors and praise by speech smU. print, medals, the happiness and gratitude of the multitude; and in all these things she has gained courage, sympathy and wisdom. * * * * An answer to doubt, fear and pessimism * * * she is-neither too good, nor bad; she is sanely human. * •* * Her readings bear three decisive ^ characteristics, fitness, charm and ex- £ altation." I';. " 'A bird in the bush is worth two p in the hand,' because in the bush it is £ far more useful and beautiful." On -j| January 24, Charles Gorst, the "Bird- ji man," comes to us with the following g special program: :] Musical Introduction (20 minutes.). % Whistling Solo: En Sourdine. % Whistling Novelties. • lt; Whistling Solo: The Robin's Re- | turn. . |! The Musical Genius of Birds (one ;; hour.)

We wish that all our donations could ibe given with the same spirit with which we give this." , Mr.: George E. Gage, Clothier: "I congratulate you upon your success in so splendidly attaining your object." Mr. E. B. Deming,* Pacific American Fisheries: "I am very glad indeed to see that you reached the goal." .Mr. Henry Schupp, Hotel Leopold: "I am gratified to see that you have been so successful in raising the amount needed to make this fund the success that is expected from it." :^Hon. J. J. Donovan, Vice-President Bioedel Donovan Lumber Mills, and former Normal School Trustee: "It is most gratifying to find that you were able to raise five thousand dollars in this town at this time, when so many drives are on. You should consider it a tribute to the Normal School from the people who have subscribed and an indication of the respect that we have for the young men and young : women who have to earn their own .way and for whom this fund is now established on a fairly adequate basis. Mr. Charles Allen of Seattle certainly knows how to make good use of the ..money he has. - -Mr. R. A. Welsh, Bellingham Cani n g Company: "Allow me to con- Igratulate you on the success of your v $10,000 .fund. May the students who iwill be benefited in the future by this effort of yours have all success in their prolonged studies." Hon. F. F. Handschy, Cashier, Bellingham National Bank, and former Normal School Trustee: "I am very pleased indeed at your, success in securing donations to the Student Loan Fund." SHOULD FILL NORMAL SCHOOLS SAYS DR. CLAXTON (Continued from Page One) larger, the numbers of teachers leaving the schools for other employment will become still greater and this tendency is likely to continue long after .the war is over unless the salaries of teachers should be increased far beyond -the present average. How are their places to be filled? By trained or by untrained teachers? "Unless the attendance at the normal schools and in departments of education in colleges and universities is much increased, most of these places, must be filled by men and wo- THE NORTHWESTERN :£ :NATIONAL S;;.;V;;:;;BANK; •; Bellingham, Wash. f We Solicit the -Normal Accounts mem without professional knowledge and with no special training for their work . I n this, case, the character of the schools will inevitably deteriorate and the time of the children and the money appropriated for education will be to a large extent wasted. It is, therefore, very important that. for next year and for many years to come there should be more students in these schools for the preparation of teachers than there have ever been. Thousands of iboys and girls who have finished their high school work might and should render their country a high type of patriotic, service by entering these schools next fall, winter, or spring to prepare themselves for the work of teaching in the elementary and secondary schools." *n i i " TO AVOID THE FLU TAKE A GOOD HIKE Get fresh air, good exercise, and a good appetite! Many people went on hikes during the week and thereby improved their health and "saw Bellingham." A party of twenty-one under the leadership of Miss Woodard, followed the trail from Whatcom Falls down stream. The scramble through the woods, and over rocks and water was immensely enjoyed. For speed in getting over rough places, Miss Cummins and Miss Earhart are the winners. Many "Dorm" girls were present, as well as others from nearby houses. Miss Os'borne and Miss Milne were among the lively ones of the crowd. By the time the party reached home, there- was many a sore foot and good appetite! L GIRLS ASSIST Miss Nora B. Cummins of the faculty had charge of the Normal School District on Red Cross tag day, last Saturday. She and her assistants collected $83.03 outside of the school, and $18.40 at school, making a total of $101.43. "B" BOOK OUT The "B" Book for 1918-19 has been placed, in the hands of the students and teachers. It is a beautifully printed little volume, containing a greeting from the President of the school, the Students Association,. and is packed, full of valuable information. .No student should be without this very necessary, little book. The calendar is made to cover the whole year, including the summer session. The Messenger si .glad to repeat the inspirational greeting which the President extends to the students in the "B" Book;":-'•-: To fittingly clebrate this event, this formidable mercantile establishment has promised a. timely treat that's worthy of Normal Students' attention. Every department is contributing in way of money saving bargains, therefore it is to your benefit to partake of the Anniversary offerings that are awaiting you.

Mr. Philippi has promised to play one or more of Mr. Gorst's Victrola records for us some time before his appearance here. Princess Catherine Radziwill of Russia. The very name spells romance! But her life—she was born of a noble Russian family, her father one of the personal friends of the late Emperor Nicholas I. Because of the early death of her parents, she spent her childhood in Paris with her aunt, Mile. Balzac, wife of the famous novelist, Honore de Balzac. She has a fund of personal reminiscences of her contact with such, men as Victor Hugo and Renan. She is a blood cousin to the wife of the murdered Archduke Frances Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination, it will be remembered, precipitated the great war upon Europe. She married Prince William Radziwill of Germany and for nearly twenty years was a member of the Imperial Court of Berlin, and one of her close personal friends was the Crown Prince Wilhelm, now the Kaiser. Some of her lectures throw an interesting sidelight upon the character of Germany's leader, as well as upon the court life of Berlin. Princess Radziwill will be here February 8. On March 4, Sergeant John F. Fla-hiff, an American member of the famous Canadian Princess "Pat" regiment, will tell us his experiences of seven months in the great.war. He was in the Ypres salient during the heavy fighting there and was at Ba-paume back of Vimy Ridge. He served in three most dangerous capacities,- bo.mber, machine gunner and stretcher bearer. He went "over the top" twice in big drives and dozens of times, in trench raids. He was made a sergeant fdr' conspicuous service in carrying the wounded. Shortly after this he was .taken ill with trench fev gt; er and sent home with an honorable discharge. As .soon as his • health will permit he will again enter the war. this time under the Stars and-!3tripes.. Do you enjoy. a. good hearty laugh? Then don't .miss Strickland W.GiUi-lan, March 18. If you would like some idea of his work and style, he writes for every issue of Farm Life, he has material in Good Housekeeping, Mun-sey, Woman's World, Rdycroft/ La-; dies' Home Journal, and recently vhe sold a (brief a r t i c l e t o ;Life\ at-^thirty-three and - one-third cents per^word. Following are his lecture subjects: : Sunshine and Awkwardness.'- . :. A Sample Case of Humorv As I Was Saying. : (Always given in this order.) There are several other.-numbers. which have not yet been definitely arranged. Mr. N. B. Coffman .will speak on "Fighting for Peace," Prof. M. V. O'Shea will speak to us.and one more splendid musical number is be^ ing secured to be givenv probably, some time in April. A master of- psychology, Mr: Hoover. Much more effective than "You'll starve if you ,dpn!t save," "There will be plenty for all if you are just a bit careful."

DRYGOODS^ 1316 Bay ^Street 1 ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 October 12 - Page 3 ---------- THE A S E R E ^ I E S S E N G^ GOOD STORIES IN THIS MONTH'S MAGAZINE In these busy days it's such a long • stretch between times when you can snatch a minute for a "real story," •that well—I felt sort of lost when I settled down with a number of magazines the other evening. Be honest now! Wouldn't you thoroughly enjoy a foolish but thrilling love story once more? There were a lot'of them I liked, but there's "The Willow Walk" in "Harper's"—of course it's a war story! They were marfie'd while he was home on a two-day furlough! And he leaves with a disquieting secret; Is he really going to be a coward some day? One couldn't just say whether the story ended. satisfactorily or not, but read it one of these days and see what you think! "Tea"—yes, that's the title of the whole, thing—-its a queer little story written up in the form of a play in this month's "Pearson's." It's the "funniest thing." Why don't you dramatic people practice up your fiest slang and then try it out? It's awful, girls, tout perhaps it would be interesting to you if you just won't discuss it much afterward around your most dignified friends. '"Tain o' the Scoots" is as Scotch and clean and lively and—everything —as it sounds. He's in the aviation, service, and the nice part about it is, the author lets you help him end the story. Did he get his Hun—why certainly. You just settle down with "Everybodys" and find out how he did it! . That's some of the good ones on our periodical shelves this month. Here's some more— "The She-Quitter" in "Scribner's"— (but; girls, "she" wasn't a quitter) and a splendid, story about a dog in "Harper's," "Ginger of the Ambiance"— also a 100 per cent love story in "Good Housekeeping" called "Car One Hundred." Closing up, suggestions are try— "Situation Wanted — Male" — "Everybodys ;" "Mushrooms"—'"Sciibner's;" "The Strayed House"—Mary Heaton-boise- in1 "Good Housekeeping;" "Good Luck"—"Good Housekeeping." A WAR POEM Mrs. Fannie Lawson MeAbee of Seattle has written a very beautiful bit of war poetry entitled, "The Mother's Sanctuary," which is presented to Messenger readers in this issue. Mrs. MeAbee has two sons in service, and is mother: of Miss Eva MeAbee who graduated from Bellingham. Normal .' School with the class^ of 1918. The Mother's Sanctuary Mrs. Fannie: Lawson MeAbee The boys have gone out from the Homestead, To take up life's burden and strife, The; boys,, who have slept on my bos-l ; • om, '•'••••_ The bahes, who drew life from my life. There's a hint of dignified stillness, Not known for many a year, For the boys have gone with their clatter, Their laughter, and whistle, and cheer. There's no sign of mud on the stair way, No sweaters, and track shoes, and ball, No wire, and traps for invention, No trombone to answer my call. No scuffle, and deoate, and banter, At morning, at noon or at tea; No "talking it over" with papa, No telling the trouble to me. No quick-running step from the car line, No whistle to say—"I am home;" No coming to kiss me, ere going To sleep, for the night, in their room. The rooms which I sweep in the morning, And set in order so neat, Are about as I put them at evening, Not travelled by boys' dirty feet. The room nearest mine where they slumbered, The "boys' room" it will ever be, Is-just as I cleaned it and left it, For "the Doys" aren't in it, you see. I've sometimes complained of disorder, Of recquet and dumb bells and balls, Of school books piled up in confusion, • In kitchen, or parlor, or halls. But 0—it is sweeter, far sweeter, Than the order and quiet today And I'd have it all over so gladly, To have my ibig boys home to stay. I miss them the most in the evening, When they came in as hungry as bears; I miss them, O yes how I" miss them, When we kneel 'round the tab.le for prayers. Sometimes, when the day's work is over, And I go to my room-thro' the hall; I pause at their doorway and listen, Almost thinking I hear the boys call. Perhaps they are in bed a-sleeping, I'll slip in and kiss them goodnight; And they'll draw me down to them and whisper, "Good night, dearest mother, good night." But no, the bed is unruffled, The little room quiet and lone; And I bow with dimmed eyes and heart brimming, And look unto God on His Throne. Unto Him who gave me my treasure, And who promised He ever would be, The keeper of all that I give Him, To keep for Him and for me, That when they are- weak He will strengthen, And when they are lonely He'll cheer; And in Life's battle with evil, Do right without shrinking or fear. That the world shall be blest by their living, For Ribtoons^ Laces, Em and Notions CALL ON 1320 BAY STREET Latest Styles Direct from New York STATIONER! PRINTING GO. P I? T P r ^v STATI°NERY And souls which are wounded and weak, May be stirred into newness of purpose, . By words which my boys shall speak. But somehow, I cannot explain it, But while I am praying for them, The boys seem to be right beside me, I feel their arms 'round me again. And we're all in the Saviour's keeping,. Held close by His sheltering care; It is like a visit refreshing, With the boys and Jesus in prayer. So now if I'm troubled or lonely, Or weary with work and its joys; I go to the boys' little bed room,, And visit with God and the boys. THE TULALIP BULLETIN The Messenger is pleased to receive as an exchange this week "The Tu-lalip Bulletin," published Iby the Tu-lalip Indian Agency, of which our friend, Mr. Buchanan, is superintendent. His daughter graduated from our school three years ago. The Bulletin features the picture of Eli George, a student at the Tulalip school, who died with the colors in France on Christmas day, 1917, and is now buried at Chaumont, France. The following poem we are glad to take from the Bulletin: Sleep, Laddie, Sleep (By Elbert Robb Zaring) (The War Department announces that on recommendation of General Pershing no bodies of deceased officers and soldiers would be sent to this country until after the close of the war.) Under the lilies of France they lie, Silently taking their last, long rest; And the soft breeze murmurs in passing by, While rivulets echo the tender behest. Sleep, laddie, sleep. While onward shall pour the victori- • ous band, And the Teuton be crumpled behind his frontier; Though'the hoarse shout of triumph shall fill all the land, And an eagerly listening world shall hear. Sleep, laddie, sleep. When our boys shall at last sail back o'er the deep . • With freedom established forever and ay, \ ••••'.-. They shall not-be unmindful, 0 lad, in your sleep, - But tenderly stooping shall bear you away So sweetly sleeping. And under the lilies of home you shall rest Where nature seems poised in ten-, derest prayer; And the thought of a lad who went-over the crest * Shall render that mound surpassingly fair While you sleep, laddie, sleep. —Northwestern Christian Advocate.;.

We are following the wise old proverb which we so often neglect in life—"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." "Spanish influenza" is a serious matter, but very much of a mystery to most of us. It originated, some say, in the ranks of the German army and in .prison camps. From there its contagion may be traced southward through Spain, and northward into Holland, France, England, and the Scandinavian countries. It did not reach America until August 12, when a. Norwegian steamer arrived at an Atlantic port, having had over 200 cases on the voyage. Since them it has spread westward in our own country with alarming rapidity. The disease is not extraordinarily dangerous, medical authorities maintain, if the proper precautions are taken. But with neglect, or without the best of care, the high fever and the likelihood of pneumonia to follow, make it extremely dangerous. The Surgeon-General of the Army recently issued the following rules by which the public may guard against the spread of this disease: Rules to Avoid Respiratory Diseases (By the Surgeon- General of the XL S. Army) 1. Avoid needless crowding—influenza is a crowd disease. 2. Smother your cough and sneezes —others do not want the germs which you would throw away. 3.' Your nose, not your mouth, was made to breathe through—get the habit:. 4. Remember the three C's—a clean mouth, clean skin, and clean clothes. 5. Try to keep cool whenr you walk and warm- when you ride and sleep. 6. Open the windows—always at night; at the office when practicable. 7. Food will win the war if you give it a chance—help by choosing and chewing your food well. 8. Your fate may be in your own hands—wash your hands before eating. 9. Don't let the waste products of digestion accumulate—drink a glass or two of water on getting up. 10. Don't use a napkin, towel, spoon, fork, glass, or cup which has been used by another person and not washed. 11.' Avoid tight clothes, tight shoes, tight gloves—seek to make nature your ally not your prisoner. Helen Keller, in a letter to Mrs. George A. Kessler, honorary secretary of the Permanent Blind Relief War Fund for Soldiers and Sailors of the Allies, 590 Fifth Avenue, enclosing $500 for the fund, tells how blinded soldiers may find consolation and happiness. . She writes: "Every word you say about the brave soldier boys blinded in battle goes straight to my heart as to that of a friend who knows better than most can what they have to face. I keep picturing to myself their first waking in the dark, and I thank God that there will be those near to comfort them and give them new hope through work. Work, useful work, will help draw out the sting of their blindness. There is perpetual consolation is work. Happy is the man who finds a task to occupy his mind and his hand! "There is another consolation that the iboys will discover later. When the outside world, with its blaze of beauty and myriad attractions no longer fills our thoughts, we find that the inner world has its own joys and allurements. And very precious they are. For one thing, there is the pleasure of thinking quietly all .by oneself. Most people have never explored their own minds. They have no idea of the treasures hidden away in their natures." Is "Black Beauty" still read? Whether it is or not, a news item that will please all humane people states that no prizes will be offered this year for docked saddle-horses at the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, "the type having become nearly extinct." Credit for this is partly given to an English fashion, but American sense has had its share in the passing of a vicious practice of the eighties and nineties. The harness horse has in equal measure been freed from docking. Undoubtedly, the long struggle waged in English-speaking countries by the S. P. C.

Men who can take pleasure in the sight of a horse with head jerked back at a neck-breaking angle are in need of education. Many such, with more, money than kindness of taste, have sold their horses and bought automobiles. But the reform of the remainder is still demanded in the interest both of 'blooded roadsters and plain country Dobbins.—N. Y. Post. In the light of the many interesting phases of education brought about by the war, the following excerpt from the address of Miss M. Carey Thomas, the President of Bryn Mawr College, for women, is very interesting: "I believe that Bryn Mawr's war experimentation in vocational study, slight as it has been, is over. Our faculty as a whole is, I believe, prepared to stand firmly by its belief in the supreme value of intellectual non-vocational training. Our graduates as a whole and the older members of our student body believe as we do that the best possible preparation for whatever you wish to do in life is strenuous intellectual work during the four years of your college course, preceded by really hard intellectual work in school tested by really difficult entrance examinations." Are there no ambitious authors in this school? Of course the Literary Editor enjoys picking gems of literature from other books and magazines for your benefit and pleasure but I am sure we would all appreciate original work by our own "Normalites." Get busy, you literary geniuses, we need your help! One ray of sunshine in the midst of Germany's troubles. Her statues are being melted down into ammunition.

Among those who helped make the sunshine and bid the shadows flee are Miss Sperry and Miss Willoughby." Miss Alice M. Putman, who is teaching at Raymond this year, has written to Mrs. Henry W. Spratley, president of the Alumni Association, a very interesting leter, part of which follows: "I wonder if you had heard of the sad death of Dorothy Hughes Nolin, which occurred June 2, 1918?

Nash, President, Washington State Normal, Bellingham, Wash. My dear Dr. Nash: Just this note to inform you that I leave Wednesday, Oct. 2, for Fort McDowell, California. I shall advise you later of the exact nature of my work. I am very pleased to go. I am going with but two others from my district for special limited service. Yours for victory, C. J. FOSTER. Toutle, Wash., Sept. 30, 1918. Dr. G. W. Nash, • Bellingham, Wash. Dear Friend: I suppose by this time- you have taken many faltering aspirants by the hand, as you did me, and have them pursuing cheerfully the- long, long road to success. It could not (be failure under your guidance. We have our work well organized and are progressing rapidly. Everything is done for the school in this community, and the school is their greatest pride. I think the success lies in the perfect harmony in the community, which permeates the school. There is no friction even intimated. All of the teachers claim Bellingham as Alma Mater—a fact of which we are justly proud. Miss Alberta Getsman has the intermediate grades and she is just the same ray of sunshine here that she was at Normal last year. My work is high school work. We have four years' course and we are accredited provided our graduates do one semester's work satisfactorily when in college. So far they have succeeded by making records. Mr. Gardner surely has the interest of the school at heart and is a very capable man. I miss the associations of my classes at the Normal, every one of which was a source of pleasure to me. I miss the hurried little chats with Miss Ed-ens, Miss Earhart, and Miss Beards-ley— if I started to enumerate all that is dear to me, I should encroach upon your time unmercifully. We are anticipating with much pleasure, a visit from you. When your letter to Mr." Gardner came, we almost ran an undignified race into his office, so anxious were we to know whether or riot you are coming. Mr. Klemme delighted our people last year, and they are very enthusiastic over the prospects of your visit. Wishing you a happy and prosperous year, I am, Sincerely your friend, JOSEPHINE CONVERSE.

My dear Mrs. Spratley: I am delighted to know that the Alumni are doing such wonderful work in the way of raising the Student Loan Fund. I think the idea is a splendid one and feel sure that we will go over the top. I am enclosing a small check and wish that I could do more in helping on the good cause. As it has been some time since I have written to or heard from the Normal, I shall take this opportunity to tell you what I have been doing since I left in '11. I taught in Bremerton, Tacoma, Seattle and then went to the University of Cincinnati, B. S. 1917.

Dear Dr. Nash: I think perhaps you might care to have a few lines from one whom you aided in getting the appointment from the International War Council for over-seas Avork. I -am at work among the French soldiers near the front where we are under fire day and night. I am sending as a loan the French flag which has been over our Foyer du Soldat at the place where I am now stationed and which was violently shelled by the Germans last night. The holes in the Tricolor were made by shrapnel in the Hun shells. I am sending you this souvenir as it fairly represents the position of our men of the Red Triangle who enter the work with the French Army have to hold. Last night the Germans threw nineteen shells on our village. One of them struck our canteen or foyer in several places, but fortunately killed no one. My window was broken in and my French associate, thinking I had taken to the cellar and was in a safe place, left me until morning and was surprised that I had remained on my cot all night. He is a splendid fellow and apologized for leaving me. I think he knew I was afraid and he is very brave and naturally thought I had taken to the cellar with many others and was most surprised when he learned that I had remained quietly in my room all night. I have thought that if the good people of Whatcom county could see this flag and knew that one of their most insignificant representatives in the performance of his duty was actually under fire alinost constantly, they might possibly respond to the appeal for funds and help our work in France more liberally or at least with greater freedom and enthusiasm. I hope you will see that the flag is kept for my family, if I do not return, and in the meantime if you care to retain it in the Normal, very well. I am no hero. I am in fear from every shell and especially when the aviators are flying over and drop their bombs which are so deadly, but nothing could.tempt me to give up my work among the French soldiers. I. only wish more of our men would enter this work rather than the more enjoyable perhaps. I have three classes in English daily, and am kept busy from daylight until dark, but thank God for the chance to do this wonderful work in my modest way. Please let me know if the flag helps any in our drive for funds. I have many souvenirs but cannot send them. With kindest regards, I am Sincerely yours, A. F. PALMER. The Messenger is glad to publish the following interesting letters in response to the Loan Fund: Raymond, Wash., Sept. 16, 1918. Mrs. Henry W. Spratley,''".' ';• ;^7;•; Bellingham, Wash. .

Dear Dr. Nash: I enclose a one dollar bill for the Student Loan Fund. I hope it will give some struggling Normalite the necessary push he needs. Mr. Allen has certainly started a wonderful philanthropic movement. What a world this would be if there were more Mr. Aliens! The Normal is to be congratulated on its splendid showing this fall. It makes me proud to be one of her Alumni. I am teaching at Glendale. There are many Normal graduates here in the district. We all enjoy our work immensely. We are planning on a great community fair next Tuesday, with speaking, singing, and ice cream on the side. There is an excellent community spirit prevailing here in Glendale, and it is certainly a pleasure to work with such truly patriotic and public-spirited citizens. But I fear I cannot remain throughout the year. I am in Class 1A, which means I will soon see military service. I am sure I shall Ibe happier when I enter the army for it is not always pleasant to be merely teaching school when most of my comrades are engaged in "man's work," (Continued on Page Six) ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 October 12 - Page 6 ---------- 6 TOE;WE:S£f SSE : (Continued From Page Five) over there, and in the camps. However, until my call comes I shali be content to "stand by the stuff," and help do my bit in- such social service as my position allows. When I am called, we shall look to the Normal, as usual, for some one to fill my place. Sincerely, ALBERT BOOMAN. These' are' letters from former Nor-malites.

Another quite enjoyable event took place in the evening. We met a former Bellingham "cop," an engineer, and spent the evening together. There were three of us sailors from Bellingham, this engineer, and two others from Portland. We had supper together at a hotel. Did we have a good time? It was just like a reunion of- old school-mates. If' there-is anything we enjoy it is to gather-around a' piano and sing over the old songs.

It was found that there were about fifty hanging in the training school and approximately one hundred and sixty throughout the rest of the building, not counting-some forty hidden away for future reference. But—our committee needed some standard of comparison. To gain new ideas Miss Druse and Miss Wilson spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday visiting the buildings throughout Seattle, Tacoma and Camp Lewis for suggestions. Particular attention was given to the planning of attractive entrances, to the interior of offices; and to the style and hangings of pictures. Some of the" "most attractive buildings visited were the University of Washington, the Seattle high schools, Stadium and Lincoln Highs of Tacoma, and the library and base hospitals at Camp Lewis. Tacoma's Stadium High holds the honor of having the finest, best arranged collection of pictures in the group of buildings visited. The pictures are all reproductions of great art—every evidence of •being well chosen and expertly arranged. The collection h s grown through money collected at the Senior class plays and through presentations from various clubs. High credit is due them on their fine art collection. Camp Lewis also had its attractions in artistic furnishings and interiors. The library at the camp is one of the most attractive our committee saw throughout their search. From the rudest work to the finest finishings it was beauty and harmony in construction and colors. The base hospital also offered valuable suggestions. Miss Wilson and Miss Druse have come back filled with suggestions and enthusiasm to? push f o r w a ^ j ^ M o r^ Not only are \ t he entrances .jaid^h^Js^ to be improved, but the offices -and rooms as well, \wilL undergo decid^ed; changes.. :':'",-'••.' ::v;'-r;:..

IN FLANDERS' FIELDS By Lieut.-Col. John D. McCrae (Written during the second battle of Ypres, April, 1915. The author, Dr. John D. McCrae, of Montreal, Canada, was killed on duty in Flanders, January 28, 1918.) In Flanders' fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved^and now we lie In Flanders' fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe- To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders' fields. America's Answer By R. W. Lillard (Written after the death of Lieut.- Col. McCree, author of "In Flanders Fields," and printed in the New York Evening Post.) Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead, The fight that ye so bravely led We've taken up. And we will keep True faith with you who lie asleep With, each a cross to mark his bed, .. And poppies blowing overhead, Where once his own life blood ran red. So let your rest be sweet and deep, In Flanders' fields. Fear not that ye have died for naught, The torch ye threw to us we caught; Ten million hands will hold it high And freedom's light shall never die! We've learned the lesson that ye taught. In Flanders' fields. RELY UPON WAHL MERCHANDISE EVERYTHING SATISFACTORY IN READY-TO-WEAR FOR NORMAL STUDENTS THE 'LOPEMENT By Margaret E.

Have you helped when you should, have you tried to do right, Have you-struggled for good, or just fought forxm^ght?

It was the original intention to add a stripe and a \star for each new state, but it was soon found that a new stripe, for each state would make the size of the flag unvVieldy, and in 1818 Congress ordered that the 15 stripes to which the flag had grown be reduced to 13, and thait only a star for each new. state should be added.—Ladies' Home Journal; " ':.' j : ' . 7PPPPP </mods>

Harriet Spanel said they agree that ^ involving Western students in national elections, and local elections is an important way of contributing to the community. As Election Day nears, many students will have the chance to participate in the community by voting for the next president of the country as well as the state senator of District 40. The district ^ begins at Lakeway Drive and extends to Mount Vernon, and includes Lake Whatcom and the San Juan Islands. "All levels of our democracy depend on the participation of a community, which includes Western students," Spanel said. I As community members, students have a chance to influence decisions that directly influence them, she said. "Students need to vote in their own community," Spanel said. "They are affected by what happens to them, and they also have the ability to change what happens." P Students need to show their support, participate in discussions and not feel embarrassed because they have different views, Baron said. "Students should get involved and register to vote, but they also need to get involved in campaigns, learn about the issues and understand that there are | values on both sides of it," Baron said. Baron is a lifetime Whatcom County resident and is president of Baron Co., a marketing and public relations firm located in downtown Bellingham. He regularly works with Western students on research projects concerning marketing and public relations. ^ Baron's campaign issues focus on the legal reform of health care, job security and preserving farmland.

Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, speaks to an audience at Sehome High School about education, health care, workers' rights and the war in Iraq. By Timory Wilson The Western Front " An energetic crowd filled the bleachers in Sehome High School's gymnasium Saturday as Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, urged the audience to vote for the Democratic Party on Election Day. "This state is so critical because if you are able to provide the energy to guarantee that John Kerry is going to carry Washington, then the Kerry campaign can begin to focus on some of the other states, like Ohio," said Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate. The topic of the forum was "What it means to be a Democrat." Kucinich addressed issues such as education, health care, worker's rights and the war in Iraq at the town hall forum. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., and state Rep. Mike Cooper also accompanied Kucinich to encourage people to vote. Kucinich is giving speeches throughout the United States promoting voting for the Kerry- Edwards campaign and other Democrats in the upcoming election, political civic activist Marian Beddill said. "This is the moment that we must decide that .we are going to step forward to reclaim our country," Kucinich said. "There are a lot of Americans who are'afraid that if they elect a new president, we are going to be unsafe. The truth is the only way we can ever be safe is to get rid of this administration." SEE Kucinich, PAGE 3 Professor wins award for slave-trade book By Jamie Badilla The Western Front Western history professor Alan Gallay said he has imagined himself as a historian or writer since age 4, and now he is the winner of a 2004 Washington State Book Award. His book, "The Indian Slave Trade: The Rise of the English Empire in the American South, 1670-1717," was one of 10 recipients of the award. Gallay also received the 2003 Bancroft award, the most prestigious award for American historians. Gallay said he wanted to reveal the role the Indian slave trade played in the establishment of the United States by providing financial assistance to the African slave trade. "It's one of the more important revisions of how we understand the origins of American slavery in the last generation of American historians," Western history department Chairman Christopher Friday said. After conducting research for 12 years prior to the completion of his book, Gallay said he learned to take pleasure in every small achievement. He said he sees writing as a means of personal communication with others. "The greatest reward is getting read because you feel like people are engaging SEE Gallay, PAGE 3 Transit initiative may increase tuition , By Timory Wilsoni The Western Front The Transit Fee Initiative Steering Committee, a group assessing the transit fee initiative, is making changes to a proposal that would give students alternative modes of transportation and increased bus " service next fall quarter. "The initiative is working towards making other forms of transportation more available and accessible for students going to and from campus," said Mark Hamilton, a Western senior and member of the committee. The committee is proposing a transit fee initiative that will give students a quarterly Viking Xpress bus pass, provide frequent bus routes in areas the Whatcom Transportation Authority is not servicing often and will make available a nighttime shuttle for Western students, said Seth Christian, a Western senior and member of the committee. Associated Students President Rachel Zommick said the transit fee is a suggestion right now and the AS board of directors will not make any official decisions about the proposal until the committee submits it to them. The transit fee would cost students $20 to $30 a quarter and would be included in tuition, but that is subject to change depending on how much it will cost for a nighttime shuttle and additional bus service, Christian said. "We want to make this an affordable program that students can get a lot out of for their money," Christian said. "Driving a car is $4,000 a year on average because of gas, maintenance and repairs. Chris Taylor/The Western Front That is $4,000 you could spend your money on Western students exit a bus at the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride; elsewhere. It is money in your pocket."

Initiative would bar shipments of nuclear waste to Hanford An initiative on the state's election ballot could change how the federal government disposes of nuclear waste.

Members of the Western community are entitled to a single free copy of each issue of The Western Front. Initiative 297 would bar the U.S. Department of Energy from shipping some nuclear waste to the Hanford Site until all the existing waste is cleaned up. The DOE, which has not taken a position on the initiative, plans to ship roughly 5,800 truckloads of low-level waste to the site in southeast Washington. Opponents say it could backfire and lead to other states banning waste that the DOE plans to ship from Hanford. Hanford already is home to 53 million gallons of highly radioactive waste in 177 underground tanks. The DOE aims- to re-bury much of that waste in a nuclear waste repository in Nevada. NATIONAL NEWS Hillary Clinton criticizes Bush administration on flu-shot crisis Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., says that when it comes to the flu vaccine, the Bush administration has its priorities wrong. Clinton said at a senior center in New York that the administration is spending approximately $5.6 billion dollars to create an anthrax vaccine instead of the few hundred million dollars to create an adequate supply of flu shots. She said the severe vaccine-shortage crisis should be a "big wake-up call." Reagan daughter sues Salvation Army for canceling speech Patti Davis, daughter of the late President Ronald Reagan, is suing the Salvation Army, saying the religious charity canceled her speech planned for one of its events because she supports stem-cell research.

"It is time that we stop the risk. It is time that we regained our country. It is time that we reestablish peace," Kucinich said. "It is time that we reclaimed our nation." Kucinich said the Bush administration is hurting workers and their organizations by taking away their abilities to make decent wages, outsourcing their jobs and sacrificing ^ their abilities to have retirement security. "At the debate, every time Senator Kerry started to talk about jobs, the president shifted the debate to education," Kucinich said. "Now, this is not an exaggeration, but we need to change the occupation of the person who is heading our nation." Kucinich said the administration created a bill that eliminated price control so the drug companies can charge Medicare as high a price as they want for prescription drugs. "John Kerry is the only one in this election who is talking about changing the nature of health insurance so that everyone has the chance for coverage," Kucinich said. Kucinich visited Western last week for a private meeting with students and said the first thing he felt was energy when he walked into the meeting. "There is energy with them and in this community, which really in a way puts you at a level that is a little bit different than even Lauren Miller/The Western Front Kucinich (right) speaks as Larsen applauds. Kucinich praised Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and accused the Bush administration of hurting workers' rights. the rest of the state," Kucinich said. "You have the ability to create the right everywhere to get people involved. That serves people's passion that moves their hearts. That causes them to see that this is the time, this is the moment to regain this country. We are ready."

Students and faculty members can use the Viking Xpress bus pass as a parking permit in some areas on campus during specified times, and more than 100 local businesses offer discounts to people with bus passes, Hamilton said. The proposal is not promoting more people to drive by themselves by building more parking spaces, Hamilton said, but instead offering incentives to use alternative transportation. "The transit fee proposal is creating benefits for as many people as it can in different ways," Hamilton said. He said the committee also would like the transit fee to include building additional lighting on campus and possibly add a covered area for bike racks. Tony Russo, AS vice president for business and operations, said he and Alanna Ahern, AS vice president for campus and community affairs, are active participants in the committee and are working with the committee to develop the proposal and make it beneficial to students. The transit fee proposal is still in its preliminary stages, but Christian said the committee hopes to get the AS board's approval by the end of fall quarter. Then, it needs 600 signatures from students supporting the proposal before the initiative can be voted on in the spring, he said.

Spanel has been a Washington resident since 1964 and has been the Democratic Senate chair for six years. Her late husband, Les Spanel, was the former chair of Western's physics department. Spanel's campaign issues focus on health care, education, transportation, conservation and environmentalism. "Children, elderly and women are the people that lack health insurance and need it the most," Spanel said. Increasing the availability of health care for residents by securing their insurance eligibility, condensing health-care programs and requiring small businesses to contribute to the cost of their employees' health- care costs are some ways of solving the issue, Spanel said. Spanel's plans for improving transportation include, improving the ferry system and highways, as well as including other alternatives such as trains and more buses. Spanel said she participated in the development of the Lake Whatcom Watershed Management Plan, instigated pipeline safety legislation in Whatcom County and worked toward the expansion of Bellingham parks and reserves. Spanel said keeping local water and air clean is crucial to maintaining a strong community. "The preservation, of our natural resources, is important," Spanel said. "We use only what we need and save the rest for future generations."

Henger, who is from Hungary, said she needed a lot of help adjusting to the United States when she first arrived. The Internet helped for banking, she said, but she has also been asking a lot of questions. When it comes to sending mail back to Hungary, Henger said the process in the United States is confusing. "(Adjusting) has been OK," Henger said. "Everyone is really nice and friendly." Henger said she will only stay for fall quarter. She is in her fourth of five years of study in Hungary and came to Western as part of her industrial design program. For the most part, international students are finding their way at Western, International Programs adviser Richard Bruce said. One of the adjustment issues international students seem to have is with the U.S. postal system and it is costing them money, said Ruth Koning, a campus post-office station operator. "We usually work pretty well with (international students) to explain things if they ask," said Debbie Lindquist, a part- time employee in the campus post office. Many countries have a different postage system than that of the United States, Lindquist said. In other countries, such as Japan, letters are addressed with the delivery address in the upper left corner and the return address in the center of the envelope, she said. When the mail is addressed incorrectly, the international students get their mail returned to them, and then they have to pay to resend the letter after they address it correctly, Koning said. Koning said most problems occur with postcards but occasionally with letters and packages. She also said post-office employees try to pay more attention when an international student comes in so they can be sure the mail is addressed correctly and save the student time and money. "A lot of times, we can catch it before they send it," Koning said. Koning said she has created a template to make things easier for international students. The template she uses right now is in the Roman alphabet and Japanese characters called Kanji, as well as in English, Koning said. Bruce said some other issues international students face when first arriving in the United States is opening bank accounts, obtaining cell phones and buying American food.

Parks and Recreation may cut back outdoor-program funding By Timory Wilson The Western Front Whatcom County Parks and Recreation may increase the prices of its outdoor programs and limit the amount of multiple-day excursions offered in the upcoming year. But the addition of half-day programs should attract Western students, said Michael McFarlane, director of Whatcom County Parks and Recreation. "Two things are changing," McFarlane said. "We have to increase the number of users on programs and reduce the amount of subsidies on programs." The department could reduce the number of multiple-day outdoor programs and adding shorter programs to involve the general public, said Dan Taylor, Whatcom County Parks and Recreation commission chairman. During the next few weeks, however, the department will calculate price increases for all outdoor programs for next year because of staff limitations and reduced subsidies, Taylor said. Rob Bunnett, the Whatcom County Senior Center's manager, said the main reason for the price increase on multiple-day programs, such as overnight kayaking trips, is the department's need to break even. It needs to fully recover the costs for outdoor programs, which the county will not pay for through subsidies, Bunnett said. Another reason prices may increase is because the department will hire private contractors to lead multiple-day excursions instead of staff leaders, Taylor said. Taylor said the department will redirect 50 percent of its employees to providing staff at Semiahmoo Park, Bay Horizon and other northern parks, which will result in fewer staff available to lead outdoor programs. The price of the programs depends on what is involved in the outdoor event. For example, a one-day kayak trip costs $48, compared to an overnight kayak trip to Cypress Island, which costs $140, said Carl Prince, the outdoor program coordinator for Whatcom County Parks and Recreation. The department also will add shorter, more educational half-day programs such as natural-history hikes and bird = = = = = = = = = = = : = : = walks, McFarlane 'Two things are chang- sa[^ ing.

Students who are not from this area may want to participate in the programs to learn Michael McFarlane Whatcom County Parks and Recreation director introductory how to snowshoe or cross-country ski, Taylor said. Kristin Haas, a Western senior and excursions and instructions co-coordinator for the Outdoor Center, said changes to the county's Parks and Recreation outdoor programs should not increase the community's usage of the Outdoor Center. The Outdoor Center does not advertise to the general public, and the programs are $5 to $30 more expensive for community members to participate in than Western students, said Joel Todd, a Western senior and equipment shop coordinator for the Outdoor Center. If the Whatcom County Council accepts the changes to . the department's outdoor programs, the changes will take effect in January, Taylor said.

Six candidates answered students' questions, which a moderator delivered. Issues affecting Washington were the focus of the forum. The 'candidates discussed the traffic problem on the Guide Meridian, the importance of economic stimulation, creating jobs in Washington and the rising costs of tuition. "There's not a lot of jobs you can get with just a high-school education," said Kelli Linville, who is an incumbent Democratic state representative for the 42nd district. Linville said affordable and quality education should be available to everyone. "We have to keep focused on the middle class that doesn't qualify for financial aid but can't pay for college outright," said Republican Rep. Doug Ericksen, who also is running for re- election in the 42nd district. Linville said, the best financial-aid program is still low tuition. To increase funding for schools and universities, the economy needs stimulation, Washington State Senate Republican candidate Gerald Baron said. The candidates explained in their final statement why college students should care about each candidate. "I think that it is really important for all of us to be clear about who you vote for," said Robin Bailey, a Democratic candidate for Ericksen's state representative position in the 42nd district. Democratic state Sen. Harriet Spanel highlighted her work on local issues, including health care and the environment. Elana Bean/The Western Front State Rep.

Students can register for carpools online By Cara Shaw The Western Front Western freshman Ardith Feroglia scrambled to find a ride home to Wenatchee for the weekend last year. A three-to four-hour drive was impossible for her without a car. Buses and trains were too expensive and did not fit with her schedule. In desperation, Feroglia turned to another source. Fortunately for students such as Feroglia, the Viking Union and Student Activities has created the Rider/Driver Board, a Web site in which students can seek a ride or offer one in order to save gas money. Unfortunately for those same students, however, the service has only 14 registered users. "I think there are people out there who could benefit from this service â€” they just don't know about it," Western freshman Becky Engley said. Students can benefit from this program by finding a ride or sharing the cost of driving with a passenger, but a ride- matching service is only as useful as the number of people who log onto it, Western alternative transportation coordinator Carol Berry said. "Any ride-matching service is dependent on the registering of rides available, not just rides needed," Berry said. Because of the absence of registered users, Feroglia was stuck without a ride. She said she found a ride just in time to visit her home for the weekend. Engley, a Vancouver, Wash., resident who does not have a car, said she had never heard about the Rider/Driver Board but would consider using the service if she could not find a ride home with one of her friends. According to the board Web site, students have posted only nine announcements asking for rides since the Associated Students created the site last year. Also according to the Web site, the most students that have ever been on the Web site at one time is three, which occurred on March 31. Western freshman Amy Gibson said she believes that students are not taking advantage of the board because they do not know it exists. Gibson said she also thought the idea of riding home with a complete stranger would deter some people from using the service. "People would rather ride with their friends than strangers," Gibson said. Besides long journeys home, the board also can serve students who need shorter rides. "It could be helpful in locating carpool partners for daily rides as well as longer trip-share rides," Berry said. Business professor receives first college teaching fellowship award By Kara Johnson The Western Front Western professor Peter Haug became the first person to be named the College of Business and Economics' Distinguished Teaching Fellow this past February at Western. The college honored him Oct. 15 at a Teaching Scholarship Day luncheon. Haug, a professor of manufacturing management in the department of decision sciences, gave a speech on his "Five Pillars of Teaching Operations." He said the five pillars are passion, preparation, process, publications and people. The college nominated Haug for the collegewide meeting but he received the award in a Friday presentation. Courtesy of the Distinguished Teaching Fellowship Professor Peter Haug. award in a in February, To be eligible for the award, Haug had to be tenured, as well as nominated by a student, faculty or staff member. Haug has numerous academic accomplishments, including teaching and studying in China, Scotland and Iceland, but he is best known for his hard work and dedication, said Joseph Garcia, Haug's colleague and coordinator of the Teaching Scholarship Day. "(Haug) works hard and has high standards for himself and others," Garcia said. "He is passionate and interested in people. He has innovative ideas with staying power. Most of all, he is tireless." Garcia said Haug is not only a great resource for faculty but also for students. "Peter goes to bat for students â€” he has them as his utmost priority, and he looks at them as not only students but as future professionals," Garcia said. Assistant professor of decision sciences Chris Sandvig, who nominated^ Haug for the Distinguished Teaching Fellowship, agreed with Garcia, saying that Western reaps the benefits of Haug's work, but the biggest beneficiaries are the students. Haug created the Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management Program* which was the main reason Sandvig nominated him. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science with the program and participate in internships, which are the foundation of the program. "I have tremendous respect for^ him as a person," Sandvig said. "He created a program that gives students a wonderful education and that receives a tremendous amount of industry input and support." Haug said he felt honored to be named-the first Distinguished Teaching Fellow, an award that lasts for three years. "I strive to be a professor who demonstrates and inspires," he said. "But I am the first to admit that I constantly seek ways to achieve the status of an inspirational teacher." Exchange: Foreign students find Bellingham a good transition Continued from Page 6 Bellingham for necessities like groceries has been difficult. Western has three different programs for international students each year, Bruce said. He said international students come with varying degrees of knowledge about American culture and the English language. The international exchange students come to Western either for a quarter or sometimes to earn a degree. Many of these students have transferred from community colleges but still have some of the same transition issues that students face when coming from places outside the United States, Bruce said. Western senior Quoc Pham is an international student from France and started at Western in fall 2001. He said the transition to the United States was difficult because he came from Paris to Bellevue, which he said felt boring. He also said that without a car and friends, he felt depressed. Pham said he transferred to Western as a junior. He said he has a few family members in the area to help him with some of the cultural _________ differences like banking, cell phones and mail but being in the area for a few years before coming to Western, made it much easier. "When I first got to Western, the transition was a lot easier because Bellingham is a small community," Pham said. "It's supportive and easier to connect with people." International students know that moving to the United States will be difficult, but they work with the International Programs advisers to get 'When I first got to Western, the transition was a lot easier because Bellingham is a small community.'

The Georgia man told police he set his trailer on fire after watching the disaster movie and drinking beer. Adams, 32, walked into the Crisp County Law Enforcement Center early Thursday and told deputies he had burned down the double-wide home. He told deputies that after watching "The Day After Tomorrow," a special-effects extravaganza depicting deadly natural disasters caused by global warming, and drinking nine or 10 beers, he decided to set fire to pillows on his bed. When asked why, Crisp County Sheriff Donnie Haralson said, "I have asked that question myself.... The whole thing just doesn't really make sense." Haralson said Adams has been charged with arson. Circus elephants rampage, trample man's yard and ruin hedges A homeowner in southern Sweden filed a police complaint after four circus elephants broke loose from their trainers and rah into his backyard, trampling the hedge and the lawn, a police spokesman said Thursday. Mattias Lindell, 29, said the animals completely ruined his garden, after animal trainers working for German-based Circus Mustang lost control of the elephants when removing them from the vehicles in which they traveled. The circus had put up its tent only a few feet away from Lindell's house outside Helsingborg, on Sweden's southwestern coast, he told The Associated Press. He filed a police complaint, seeking damages for the destroyed hedge and ruined lawn, which was "just turned into dirt," he said. It was not the ruined yard, however, that made Lindell angry. "I have a 3-month-old baby who often sleeps in the garden in a carriage," he said. "If he had been doing that when this happened, things could have been a lot worse." Would-be bank robber gets laughed at by clerk A bank robber put a mask on his face, pulled out a gun and demanded money in a bank in Zagreb, Croatia. But when the bank clerk laughed in his face, the would-be robber was so humiliated he just ran away. The bungled holdup occurred midday Thursday at a small bank on Zagreb's main square, police said. The 31-year-old clerk, identified only as Martina S., "laughed aloud" at the threat from the bandit because she knew she was protected by bulletproof glass, police spokeswoman Gordana Vulama said.

Doctor says woman has sleep-sex disorder An Australian woman claims she had sex with strangers while she slept and later had no recollection of her encounters because of a sleeping disorder, her Sydney doctor said Thursday. The middle-aged woman had no idea that she was sneaking from her house at night in search for sex with random strangers until her partner woke, discovered she was missing from the bedroom and found her having sex with another man, said Peter Buchanan, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital sleep disorder physician, to The Sydney Morning Herald. Her partner was already aware that she was a sleepwalker and also had been confused by condoms he found strewn around the house, Buchanan said. Buchanan will discuss the case when he lectures on sleep sex â€” the disorder has yet to be given a formal title â€” at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Sleep Association in Sydney at the weekend. "It is very complex, elaborated motor behavior during sleep," Buchanan told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio Thursday. 'Teople are often stunned and overwhelmed when they're told what they've been doing." The partners and doctors of people suffering from the disorder often do not believe the acts were committed while they slept, he said. "It's very stressful both for them, for their partner or for their relationship," Buchanan said. "It also promotes an intense sense of embarrassment on their part, their partner's behalf and this inhibits people coming forward to seek potentially helpful professional intervention."

Members of the group organized the first of what will be a routine beach cleanup every two months at Squalicum beach on the morning of Oct. .10. Surfrider began in the '80s when surfers were getting sick from water pollution and wanted to know why, said Jen Prince, chair of the Northwest Straits Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. Surfrider originated in California, created by surfers in an effort to stop a California pulp mill from dumping pollution into the surf beach at Humboldt Bay. Surfrider is a nonprofit environmental organization with 37,000 members and 60 chapters internationally, including three in Washington state. The organization celebrated its 20th anniversary on June 17. Bellingham residents Mike Wheeler and Jodi Mau founded the Northwest Straits Chapter in Bellingham as an Associated Students club in 2000. Squalicum Harbor Beach is a secluded area where debris from the Nooksack River, garbage blown from boats and remnants of alcoholic-beverage containers tend to collect, cleanup coordinator Nancy Heiser said. "Everything we do has coastal impacts," said Ian Miller, Washington state field coordinator for Surfrider. "(If you) dump oil on your lawn it will eventually end up in the Gulf of Mexico." Heiser said a lot of the trash on the beach is hazardous to wildlife. The plastic six-pack rings look like plankton to some animals, and if they ingest it, it can kill them. Miller said Surfrider began the cleanup process in fall because summer is a prime time of excessive littering on the beach due to high usage. In the winter, beaches collect a lot of debris from heavy winds. The cleanups will be a year-round effort, he said. The members of Surfrider also have to base the cleanup schedule on when a low tide will be present, Prince said. Prince received a bachelor's degree in biology at Western in 2001 and then moved to California for three years to work with the California State Parks Service, where she heard about the Surfrider Foundation. She moved back to Bellingham this past spring, joined the local Surfrider chapter and is now working on her postbaccalaureate at the Woodring College of Education. Surfrider also is a partner in the Olympic Coast Cleanup, which Miller said drew 500 people last year. Cleaning beaches from Cape Flattery to Ocean Shores, Miller said the group pulled 15 tons of debris from beaches in 2003. He said it was the most extensive cleanup in Washington state. Prince said she recalled one memorable cleanup in July in La Push, near Forks, where hundreds of people came to support the cause. "Everyone was cleaning up with a Surfrider garbage bag in their hands," she said. Ruth Wetzel/The Western Front Members of the Northwest Straits chapter of the Surfrider Foundation gather at the beach clean-up at Squalicum Harbor Beach on Oct. 10. Heiser said the Fourth of July tends to be a garbage-producing event, and by the end of the day, the group had a 25-foot-by-25- foot pile of full garbage bags. "We had these plastic bags over our shoulders praying that nothing leaked out," Heiser said, recalling another particularly messy cleanup. "(Cleaning the beach is) a good excuse to go to the beach," Heiser said. Former Northwest chapter chairman Ryan McElice said people portray Surfrider as a surfing organization, but it is foremost an environmental organization. It attracts surfers because they are directly affected by the environment and have an interest in protecting water quality, he said. In addition to beach cleanups, the foundation organizes programs from water-quality monitoring to educational programs about the impact to the coast by watershed activities to the community, McElice said. In February, the local chapter went to Mount Baker and set up a booth to provide information about watersheds. In 25-degree weather, members of the group watched the sun rise over Mount Shuksan as they set up their booth with bare hands. McElice said that it felt strange to be driving east and not west, going toward the mountains instead of the water. "Surfing? What are you people doing up here?" McElice said, imitating the initial response people had upon seeing the Surfrider booth at Mount Baker. But even from different locations, people from the mountains and from the coast can share the same love for the environment, McElice said.

Bellingham resident Helen Thayer and her husband traveled on foot 1,500 miles across the Gobi Desert after doctors told her she might never walk again By Shabnam Mojtahedi Special to The Western Front At age 63, few women leave the comfort of their established lives to go on an adventure. Helen Thayer is not the typical woman. As an adventurer, author, photographer and a woman of many "firsts," Thayer has defied limits and overcome every disadvantage that has come her way. Her most recent adventure, a trek across the Mongolian Gobi Desert, challenged Thayer with winds of more than 90 mph, near death because of dehydration, temperatures of up to 126 degrees and near imprisonment by border patrol officers. A year before leaving for Mongolia, Thayer said she was rear- ended by a car traveling at high speeds. Doctors told her that she might live the rest of her life in a wheelchair, but Thayer said she was determined to make it through therapy and accomplish her dream of crossing the entire Gobi Desert on foot. Thayer and her husband, Bill, said they left for Mongolia in the summer of 2001 and walked approximately a 1,500 mile path across the desert. Helen Thayer presented her pictures and the story of her adventure Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art, where not enough seating was available for the large audience that gathered to watch Thayer's third presentation at the museum. Event coordinator Sibyl Sanford, who sponsored the presentation, spoke of Thayer as an inspiration. "This is the third time I've brought her here, and I just find her so amazing," Sanford said. Making-her "way to the podium with a walker, Thayer hardly looked the picture of the first woman to walk alone to the magnetic North Pole, the first woman to walk across the Sahara or the first to trek the entire length of the Gobi Desert. Equipped with a bright red tent, a turquoise sleeping bag, supplies and two borrowed camels named Tom and Jerry, Thayer and her husband started across the rocky desert. Thayer said it was the second time they had traveled to Mongolia, so they were already accustomed to the lifestyle and the language. A few days into the trek, Thayer said they experienced their first scare when black clouds washed over them while lightening illuminated the thundering sky. The wind started blowing so strongly it lifted the Thayers into the air and slammed them back onto the rocky ground. Thayer said they clung to the camels for three hours. "We were wondering if we were going to live, because it was so violent and so dark," Thayer said. They did not turn around, however, because Thayer said that what she learned from her adventures was to take everything "one step at a time." "We have to keep knowing that our goal is ahead of us," Thayer said. Bellingham resident Kristi Coy attended the presentation and said she has seen Thayer speak several times. Shabnam Mojtahedi/ Special to The Western Front "Every time she has new and Helen Thayer and her husband, Bill Thayer, greet listeners at the What-interesting tales of experiences and com Museum on Oct. 2. insights on the world," Coy said. "They inspire me to try new things and learn about different areas." Thayer has written three books about her adventures, and she and her husband established the Adventure Classroom program in 1988, she said, to teach children the importance of setting and accomplishing goals, even through adversity. Thayer said another reason for traveling to remote places of the world is to spread awareness and respect for indigenous people and diverse cultures. Her pictures expressed the stories of nomadic Mongolian families and showed her admiration for different people and ways of life. "The people were definitely the most memorable part of being in Mongolia," Thayer said. "When you travel, you have to do what people do in that country and leave your own customs at home." Western gives adults a chance to return to fitness By Nick Schmidt The Western Front In 1990, Bob Parker was an employee of GeorgiarPacific trying to get a free massage. GP was offering free massages and a tuition wavier to employees who enrolled in Western's Adult Physical Education program. "I had so much fun that I have kept coming back," Parker said. "The group becomes like a family over time, and it's a lot more fun than walking on a treadmill." Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, approximately 15 to 18 people in the morning and seven to eight people in the evening come to participate in the program. The program, which the physical education and health and recreation department began at Western 24 years Nick Schmidt/The Western Front ago, exists to study bone Members of the Adult Physical Education Program loss in middle-aged women. play soccer in an evening class. The program was so popular among the participants that it continued as a class that the department offered with some of the original participants. Rose-Mary Barstad, the grant and contract supervisor for the Bureau of Faculty Research at Western, has been coming to the class for 10 years, she said. Barstad said it was finally the right time in her life to begin participating. Barstad said the games they play make exercising easier and more fun than a regular gym. The newest member of the evening class is Dan Larguier, 56, a 26-year veteran and retired employee of the Bellingham Bon- Macy's. "I was normally up on campus auditing classes at Western, and I was here, so it just seemed to work," Larguier said. While Larguier still has a gym membership, he said he still likes attending the class because it forces him to exercise, which is something Larguier said his doctor has been pushing him to do. "The class reminds me of being younger, and at school recess, I loved playing the games and that is what we do in class," Larguier said. Rachel Martin, a Western graduate student and course instructor, said the course is offered on* a quarter-to-quarter basis, but most of the those enrolled keep coming back in addition to a couple of new members every quarter. Martin said that in the morning session, the class works on strength training in the Carver Gym weight room. In the evening, the class usually does a sport. "So far this quarter we gt;v$ played the group's favorite â€” floor hc|||gy, lacrosse, soccer, ultimate Frisbee, arMÂ§|i#up choice, which is usually floor hock^^plfertin said. "And when we aren't playing floor hockey, they.are usually complaining about missing or wanting to play floor hockey." Martin said participants are eligible to take a full fitness test, a flexibility test, a bike test, body fat composition and a food/diet analysis. ---------- Western Front 2004-10-19 - Page 12 ---------- 12 â€¢ The Western Front FEATURES October 19,2004 Building a place The Bellingham Farmers' Market is ready to escape the rain in a new structure the city is building for it By Stefani Harrey The Western Front The weather was gray and misty at 10 a.m. Saturday â€” a good day to stay inside. A few drops of rain were all that was necessary to cause the bands to cancel and a few vendors to stay at home. Only late in the afternoon did the sun finally peek out â€” much too late for the Harvest Festival to begin. Rick Wright, Bellingham Rotary Club Community Projects Committee chair, said that if everything works out, next year the Harvest Festival will go on as scheduled even in the rain. It will be housed inside the new, permanent Depot Market Square structure, which the city is building in the parking lot that is home to the current Bellingham Farmers Market downtown on Railroad Avenue. Wright said he hopes construction will start at the beginning of next year and be finished by summer, weather permitting. He said the market should be in the depot next season. Market manager Robin Crowder said the market has a Harvest Festival each October. Vendors bring their pumpkins and squash and set up displays. Market visitors can win prizes for voting in a scarecrow contest between the vendors. Crowder said the festival usually features the Bellingham High School Alumni Band, which plays throughout the day, and the band Fritz and the Freeloaders. The bands were slated to play Saturday, but because of the rain, both cancelled. Without the music and with the rain, the festival fell through, she said. The market had smaller crowds than usual, and the vendors worked to keep their displays from blowing over and getting wet. A few vendors still displayed their pumpkins and squashes, but fewer put up their scarecrows. When it is raining, far fewer people shop at the market, but if a permanent structure with a roof was built, customers could shop without consider the weather, Wright said. Wright said he and Brian Griffin, a fellow Bellingham Rotary Club member, have been working with the Economic Development Council to obtain funding. The council accepted its proposal last week, he said. "It was the missing link in the finance chain," Wright said. The depot will receive public funding from a State Capital Programs Grant, a real-estate excise tax, an arterial street fund and a wastewater fund through the city of Bellingham, Wright said. The entire cost is $2.5 million. The Rotary Club is collecting private donations to raise more than $500,000, he said. As of Saturday, the committee still needed to raise $214,000. Wright said he and Griffin are doing fund raising at the market each week. He said market customers can purchase $50 engraved paving stones for the sidewalk of the new structure, or they can buy a $500 engraved, bronze vegetables for placement along the walk. Wright said people can buy other objects, such as drinking fountains, benches and stone tablets, that will surround the structure when it is done. People can purchase $5 raffle tickets to win an engraved paving stone and other prizes each market day. Stefani Harrey/The Western Front Bellingham resident David Zhan plays guitar at the Bellingham "A lot of people who come want to Farmers'Market Saturday, Oct. 16. support the market but can't afford it," Wright said. Wright said the market is in the last leg of the private fund-raising effort. With the last bit of money the market hopes to raise, Griffin and Wright have contracted to purchase part of the Skagit River Bridge trestle. The bridge crosses the Skagit River near Burlington but an new bridge is replacing it. The Rotary Club is helping to recycle it, Wright said. "It's going to be a mega recycling effort," Wright said. Another fund-raiser for the structure will be a rummage sale, said Pat Hirschkorn, a vendor who sells eggs, pumpkins, vases, bird feeders and other various items at the market. The rummage sale will be Nov. 13 at the Rome Grange on the Mt. Baker Highway, Hirschkorn said. She said they will also have a bake sale, antiques and coffee. Once the market is built, it will be a multipurpose structure that will be reminiscent of the 1895 train station on Railroad Avenue, Wright said. Garage doors which will encircle the building can be pulled down if the weather is bad. The doors will provide shelter for the vendors and their customers in all seasons. "Having to handle the tents is incredible, especially in this kind of weather," Hirschkorn said, speaking about the wind and rain of Saturday morning. Wright said he hopes the market season will extend longer with the depot and be used for other activities like dog shows, antique shows, flea markets and public meetings. "The farmers market will be the anchor tenant of the depot," Wright said. "But it will be a public building. Anyone can lease it from the city for anything they want." The market season is almost over for this year. It runs on Saturday for the rest of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Crowder said. The fund-raising efforts will be in full effect for the rest of the season in the Depot Market Square booth, Wright said. Sure.,.

These are classic elements of a surfing environment. Although Bellingham does not fit into this picture with its bay and dreary winters, two women decided to make Bellingham the home of their line of surfing products. Bellingham residents Kim Lund, 30, and Tracy Cereghino, 34, launched Salty Girls in October 2003. After knowing one another for 12 years and sharing a mutual love of surfing, they started daydreaming about products that would make surfing, more specifically surfing gear, smell good. "On those (surfing trips) together, we were always talking about health and beauty products that would be great to have as women surfers," Cereghino said. "We weren't finding what we wanted in the shops, so we decided to try our hand at it." The women make everything from lip balm to swimsuit saver, which are designed to prolong the life of one's swimwear. All products are available on their Web site. "We focused on using natural ingredients particularly aromatherapy and homeopathy because what you put on your body is as important as what you put in it," Lund said. Cereghino grew up on Mercer Island, and Lund is a Bellingham native, Cereghino said. Cereghino moved to Bellingham to attend Western, and she met Cereghino while working at Mount Baker Ski Area. They followed different career paths and started families. Their relationship grew as they started surfing and began thinking about products they wanted for their gear. Their favorite surfing spots are Cannon Beach, Ore., and areas near Vancouver Island, Cereghino said. "Starting a snowboard company would have made more sense with our proximity to the mountains," Cereghino said. A large surfing community exists in Bellingham, she said. In June, Lund and Cereghino drove to the Queen of Surf Competition in Pacific Beach, Calif, to launch their products. "We stopped at surf stores along the way to introduce our products, and we were amazed at the response," Lund said. Lund said that they have not received a negative response yet from their packaging. Twenty-five shops in Oregon and California sell Salty Girl products. Sojourn, a Bellingham store, also ordered products. Salty Girls products will be available in Bellingham starting in November, Sojourn manager Michelle Millar said. "We like to support local companies," Miller said. Sojourn will carry most of the Salty Girls products except for the products geared specifically to surfers. But Millar said they might consider selling those products during the summer. "Things are going really well," Lund said. "We thought our products would be in smaller shops, but that's not the case. Larger shops are picking up our products as well." Photo courtesy of the Salty Girls Kim Lund and Tracy Cereghino, the owners of Salty Girl, pose with their beauty product line. Salty Girl products will be available in November at Sojourn's in downtown Bellingham.

Women's soccer breaks three-game scoring drought Midfielder Lindsey Cox scores twice as Western defeats Central Washington University By Nick Schmidt The Western Front The Western women's soccer team's 316- minute scoreless . streak finally snapped three minutes into Monday's victory against rival Central Washington University. Western improved its record to 8-6-1. Western junior midfielder Lindsey Cox found the back of the net twice in the Vikings' 2-1 victory against the Wildcats. "We definitely got the result we wanted â€” a win," Western head coach Travis Connell said. "We've got to find a way to have more energy in the first half and finish teams off in the first half." Cox's first goal came only three minutes into the match off a cross from Western junior midfielder Lizzy Page. Central tied the match in the 23rd minute when Wildcat sophomore midfielder Tina Thorne kicked the ball into the upper left corner of the net off a corner kick by freshman midfielder Hannah Bridges. Cox scored the eventual game-winner four minutes into the second half when she finished a cross from Western junior defender Erin Casey. Despite the close score, Western dominated on both sides of the ball. The Vikings managed 17 shots on goal for the match and kept the Wildcats palyers to only three shots, well below their game average of 10. Cox's two goals doubled her season total. "Lindsey had one of the best games of her career, and she definitely helped us out," Connell said. Despite managing nine shots in the first half and eight in the second, Cox said she still was unhappy about the team's slow play in the fii^f half.

Volleyball bounces back against Saint Martin's after loss to Central By Elizabeth Adamack The Western Front Western's volleyball team lost to Central Washington University after an aggressive match Friday, but it came back Saturday to win in a slow-starting game against Saint Martin's College at Carver Gym. Western's team is 12-6 overall and 8-3 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. Western head coach Diane Flick said she was pleased with her team's performance Saturday, especially after the loss to Central. "I think we did a good job, especially coming off quite an emotional match the night before," Flick said. "I think we played real steady especially toward the end of games, and that is where we have let up in the past. I am really pleased with our effort." The Vikings got off to a slow start against the Saints. The first game was close, but Western finally pulled away with a kill by Western redshirt freshman outside hitter Jaime Anderson to make the score 21-20. The second game was similar until a block by Western senior middle blocker Meghan Evoy and junior setter Kristen Urdahl pushed the Vikings ahead 21-20. Western dominated the rest of second game, ===== winning 30-22. The Saints won the third game 30-27.

Western won the fourth and deciding game 30-15. This game was from the intense match against Central because the Saints' record fell to 2-13 after the match. "I thought we played well in comparison to our competition," Murray said. "It's hard playing against a team like that. That is slow and doesn't have a lot of intensity. But I thought we did a good job of picking up when we needed to." Friday's match against Central was a record-ending night for the Vikings. The Vikings had not lost a home match in 23 tries. Western lost Friday's game to the Wildcats three games to one before a crowd of 1,230. Central won the first two games 30-28 and 30-26. Western countered with a 30-26 win in the third game.

"I think we all thought we were going to win the game. We had momentum," Western junior running back Duncan Sherrard said. "It was just a tough way {the game) came down." The Vikings' defense, which gave up 27 first-half points, held the Lumberjacks to only one second-half touchdown. That touchdown made the difference in the game as Western lost 34-27 and fell to 1-2 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. "It's tough to celebrate anything when you lose like this to Humboldt State," Western senior quarterback Steve Nichols said. "It's a letdown." Trailing 27-10 in the third quarter, Western traded punts with Humboldt until Western senior kicker Michael Koenen knocked in a 49-yard field goal to make the score 27-13. Sherrard ran for two fourth-quarter touchdowns, the first of which was set up by a 43-yard punt return by Western junior wide receiver Andy Olson. The scores tied the game at 27 with less than five minutes to play in the fourth quarter. Sherrard carried the ball 27 times for 156 yards and scored two touchdowns in the game. On its next possession, Humboldt responded with what turned out to be the game-winning touchdown, thanks to a four-play, 75-yard touchdown drive. Humboldt junior running back Lionel Arnold's 49- yard run set up the Lumberjacks' go-ahead touchdown run by junior running back Daniel Nembhard. "I think the whole team came out in the second half ready to play, but it was just not quite enough," Sherrard said. "(Being down early was) a tough hole to dig ourselves out of, we just couldn't quite do it." Western head coach Rob Smith said the Vikings' defense, after giving up 27 first- quarter points, knew that Humboldt would Chris Taylor/The Western Front Dustin Creager, Humboldt State University senior wide receiver and all-time Great Athletic Conference leading receiver, celebrates after catching his first touchdown during the first quarter.

"You spend all half fighting back and getting back to even," Smith said. "Then, it was four (running) plays right up the middle where they just obviously handled us up front and then got the job done. We did not." Western started strong, scoring on its first play from scrimmage with a 76- yard touchdown reception from Nichols to Olson. Olson finished the game with 110 receiving yards and one touchdown, while Nichols completed 17 of his 24 passes for 208 yards. Nichols had one touchdown pass and one interception. Smith said that after Western's first score, the team might have temporarily lost its focus, allowing Humboldt to gain momentum. "I don't know if our players thought 'Hey, this is going to be easy' because of (Western's first-play touchdown) or what," Smith said. "There are just some things that are really disappointing in terms of when an offense comes out and says 'We're going to run the football, here we come, stop us,' and we don't. That's frustrating."

In a ridiculous move made on Oct 5, NASCAR docked Earnhardt 25 points from the point standings for using an expletive following his win at Talladega on Oct. 3. The deduction places Earnhardt total score of 5,826 just 24 points behind leader Kurt Busch. NASCAR punished Earnhardt for telling a reporter in a post-race interview that his fifth victory at Talladega "Don't mean shit right now. Daddy's won here 10 times," according to ESPN.com. The move by NASCAR shows why race-car driving will always be a second-rate sport in this country. NASCAR is making itself a joke by allowing a committee of rule makers to have as much influence on a race as the drivers do. Changing the results of a competition after it has taken place is an absolute joke. Baseball would never dock a team that just won a one-run game two runs because the manager used an expletive in the post-game interview. Neither would a football team that won a game by three points later be docked a touchdown from that game because a player used an expletive in an interview when describing that particular touchdown. This would never , , happen because baseball and football officials understand that the results of the game should be decided on the playing field. "I think we're the only sport that takes points off of the board after they've been scored," said Richie Gilmore, director for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Point docking is not the only place where NASCAR is in the wrong. An expletive should only be punished if it is meant to cause damage to another driver or an official. Earnhardt was simply trying to downplay his accomplishment, 'NASCAR is making itself a joke by allowing a committee of rule makers to have as much influence on a race as the drivers do.' while at the same time complimenting his father â€” a beloved figure in the NASCAR world. This was not a case of a racer trying to provoke another racer or insult an official and, therefore, should not be punished as if it were the same offense. NASCAR, however, will not reconsider. Since a drivers meeting in February, when drivers were notified that NASCAR was taking = = = = =_= = violations of FCC guidelines seriously, two other drivers have received the same sentence as Earnhardt Jr., according to ESPN.com. NASCAR is missing the point. If NASCAR wants to be a family sport and fine a driver for using profanity on television that is fine. But to use the power to alter the outcome of the event with a 25-point penalty as if Earnhardt finished fifth instead of first is ridiculous. Until NASCAR realizes that the outcome of an event should be decided on the track and not in the boardroom, it will always be a second-tier sport.

Connell said he was glad to see the team bounce back after its 2-0 loss to NSCAA/Adidas Division II rannkings No. 1 ranked Seattle Pacific University on Saturday. Western has been scoreless since Oct. 6 when it battled NCAA Division II Seattle University, ranked No. 10, to a 0-0 tie. Western lost the next two games against National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Simon Fraser University, ranked No. 6, Oct. 12 and again on Oct. 16 against SPU. "It was hard coming out of such an emotional loss to SPU," Cox said. "That was why we probably came out in the first half and played kind of slow against Central." As far as postseason dreams, Connell said the women will have to win the rest of the games on their schedule. "We can only control what we can, and that is our next game against Northwest Nazarene University," he said. "We just have to focus on that." The women will travel to Northwest Nazarene Oct. 23.

Youth not an excuse for crimes Crystal Oberholtzer COMMENTARY In a society where juveniles commit crimes just as horrific as adults commit, relieving juveniles of the consequences their adult counterparts face is irresponsible and naive. The U.S. Supreme Court is debating whether to abolish the death penalty for juveniles. That decision stems from the case of Christopher Simmons. The _ = = = __ Missouri courts overthrew his factors include the juvenile's sophistication, maturity, environmental situation and home life, as well as aggravating and mitigating factors, according to the criminal justice Web site. Those determining factors, which are not required to be addressed in adult death-penalty sentencing, help to determine whether a juvenile can be considered among the "worst of the worst" criminals and deserving of the death penalty. Because concrete precautions are in effect, sentencing a juvenile to death is not a rash decision. The Virginia courts' recent decision to sentence Lee Boyd Malvo, the 17-year-old Washington, D.C., sniper, to life in prison instead of giving him the death . penalty is proof that sentencing .. . . j juveniles is a careful process. Juvenile criminals Factors leading tQ Malv0,s involvement in the sniper death sentence because he was . 17 at the time of the murder, tâ„¢â„¢ their a%e wlU citing cruel and unusual keep them from being attacks, such as his troubled punishment under an "evolving punished as severely youth and the strong influence standard of decency," according to deathpenaltyinfo.orgj a nonprofit media organization. Simmons committed the crime with two accomplices, Charlie Benjamin, 15, and John Tessmer, 16. He persuaded them to commit the crime by assuring them their status as juveniles would keep them out of prison, according to court documents from the case. Juvenile criminals know their age will keep them from being punished as severely as adults and are using that to their advantage. Juveniles, in a criminal sense, are defined as 16- to 17-year-olds, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Web site. When ruling on juvenile death penalty, the Supreme Court should keep in mind the severity and sophistication of some juveniles' crimes â€” including Simmons'. Simmons, at 17, robbed and murdered a woman by binding her limbs and throwing her off a bridge. In 1966, the Supreme Court determined special factors that juries must consider before sentencing a juvenile to death. Those as adults and are using that to their advantage.'' of fellow sniper John Allen Muhammad, affected Malvo's sentencing. Although Malvo's case was highly publicized and his crime unusually brutal, Virginia courts determined he was not mature enough to be sentenced to death even though Virginia is one of 19 states that allows sentencing 16- and 17-year-olds to the death penalty, according to the American Bar Association Web site. Supporters of abolishing the death penalty for juveniles are looking toward science for evidence to support their views. Much research goes into the course of development of the human brain and its abilities to rationalize and process information. Scientists have found the brain is mostly developed by age 16, but that some functions, such as impulse control, do not fully develop until a person is 20 to 25, according to a July 2004 Science Magazine article. Some say these findings provide a solid argument against the death penalty for SEE Allow, PAGE 19 Juveniles deserve second chance Salina Greig COMMENTARY Everyone makes mistakes. Juveniles who make mistakes, no matter how awful, deserve a second chance. The U.S. Supreme Court should side with science and international opinion and ban juvenile capital punishment. The Supreme Court is in the process of reviewing whether thejuveniledeathpenalty, or legal execution of 16- and 17-year-olds, violates the constitutional ________ ban on cruel and unusual punishment, according to the American Civil Liberties Union Web site. The review comes from a Missouri Supreme Court case. which was re-examined 2003, nine years after Simmons's death sentence in 2003. At the time Simmons murdered Crook, he was not legally responsible enough to vote, marry, enlist in the military or purchase cigarettes. The law, however, determined that at 17, he could be executed. The severity of his crime required a harsh punishment, but capital punishment was not the answer. Nineteen states allow the juvenile death penalty, according to the Death Penalty Information Center Web site. States have executed 13 juvenile offenders in the past five years, eight of whom were in Texas, according to the Amnesty International Web site. Over the past decade, the United States has executed more juvenile offenders than every other nation in the world combined, = = _ = _ _ according to the ACLU's Web site. As a leading nation in the world, the United States must set a good example for those watching its every 'The execution of juveniles is unjust ...the United States must set an example nations for those nations it Simmons v. Roper, So often criticizes for human rights in violations.' Christopher Simmons was sentenced to death at age 17 for the murder of his neighbor Shirley Crook, according to deathpenaltyinfo.org, a non-profit media organization. Young people often act on impulse and lack the ability to control their actions. Recent studies show that because of their immaturity, juveniles also are more likely than adults to be coerced by sophisticated criminals or taken advantage of during a criminal investigation, according to the ACLU Web site. While minors, just like adults, should be punished for committing heinous crimes, denying a child a second chance at life is unfair. The Missouri Supreme Court has already reasonably determined that the juvenile death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment's provision against cruel and unusual punishment under the "evolving standards of decency" test. The court revoked move. The United States must not be hypocritical in its actions. Other nations are watching as the Supreme Court re- examines the constitutionality of the juvenile death penalty. In August 2000, the U. N. Sub- Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights ruled that international law forbids the execution of criminals younger than 18, according to Amnesty International's Web site. China, Iran, the United States and other nations continue to use the juvenile death penalty despite this international law. In 2003, Iran began drafting a bill that would raise the death penalty age from 15 to 18, according to the ACLU Web site. Ironically, the United States continues to criticize many nations for their human-rights violations. The execution of juveniles is unjust and unconstitutional, and the United States must set an example for those nations it so often criticizes for its human rights SEE Outlaw, PAGE 19 WESTERN GETS WILD!

Voting, smoking, marrying, gambling, driving an automobile and fighting in the armed forces are all rights U.S. citizens possess by the time they turn 18. If an 18-year-old is able to vote and die for his or her country, he or she should be able to drink a beer. If he or she can throw a grenade, he or she should be able to throw back a shot of whiskey. The drinking age in the United States should be lowered to 18. History shows that limiting alcohol consumption is counterproductive. Prohibition from 1920-1933 exemplifies the ultimate failure that results from making alcohol a "forbidden fruit." Banning alcohol during Prohibition raised consumption levels and increased risky drinking behavior, just as the drinking age of 21 does today. Obviously, people drink no matter what â€” even at Western. "Seven out of 10 Western students stop at 3 or fewer drinks," according to three randomly selected samples from surveys in the past three years conducted by Prevention and Wellness Services. A large portion of Western's 12,940 students are likely underage, yet seven out of 10 students drink. Lowering the drinking age to 18 would decrease binge drinking. For fear of getting caught, minors hide and pound their Pabst Blue Ribbon rather than sipping it moderately. Instead of measuring 1.25 ounces for a shot of Monarch Vodka, they chug from the bottle to hastily get wasted before attending concerts and clubs or going out in public. The question is whether 18- through 20-year-olds would drink more safely if it was legal, as is the case in most European countries. Dr. Ruth Clifford Engs of Indiana University Bloomington, answered yes in an interview on The State University of New York at Potsdam's Web site. "Young people ... since the increase in the minimum legal drinking age, have tended to drink in a more abuse(ive) manner than do those of legal age," Engs said. Supporters of the current drinking age often point to research, such as that of the American Medical Association, which shows that alcohol abuse can be detrimental to teenagers' health. Research by John C. Nelson, President-elect of the AMA, shows that alcohol may have devastating affects for teens and may cause permanent learning and memory loss, according to the AMA's Web site. If 18-year-olds can destroy their lungs with cigarettes, they should have the choice to drink with the rest of the world. It is senseless for the United States to ban alcohol for 18-year-olds when the more dangerous cigarettes are legally available. "Smoking is the most preventable cause of premature death in our society," according to The American Cancer Society's Web site. "Cigarettes kill more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide and illegal drugs combined." Smoking, among other things, is clearly more dangerous than drinking, yet teens can freely indulge in tobacco. A glance at history and a little common sense shows the need to lower the drinking age in America.

It has made bad decision after bad decision involving its political views. The group's plan to force its affiliates to show a highly partisan documentary two weeks before the presidential election is another questionable move by a media group that has shirked its responsibility as a respectable media organization. The documentary, "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal," is about Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry and his 1971 Senate testimony, which-some Vietnam veterans said was demeaning and caused Vietnamese captors to detain American prisoners of war longer. This would not seem like a huge deal except that the group is planning to preempt local primetime broadcasts on 62 of its stations. According to the group, the documentary is news. The program is set to air two weeks before the presidential election, according an Oct. 15 Associated Press article. This is an interesting time to broadcast such a statement that could sway public opinion, especially considering Sinclair's past partisan decisions. The group refused to show "The Fallen," a "Nightline" program in which Ted Koppel listed all the Americans killed in the war in Iraq while their pictures appeared on screen. The group said the "Nightline" program would "influence public opinion," according to an Oct. 11 article on the CBS Web site. Members of the group, apparently feel this documentary, said to criticize Kerry, will not influence public opinion much. According to an Oct. 11 article in The New York Times, a group of Democratic senators appealed to the Federal Communications Commission for an investigation to prove the documentary is not news but a prolonged election advertisement for President George W Bush. Shortly after, the FCC declined to investigate, according to the AP article. The agency's chairman said the FCC would not take any action and that no precedent he could think of would cause the FCC to block the document. Journalist Ari Berman wrote in SEE Sinclair, PAGE 19 Tipping does not replace fair wages Erik Tomren COMMENTARY Tipping used to be a way to show appreciation for a service well-performed. Now the ubiquitous tip j ar can be found throughout the fast-food industry, from coffee shops to Chinese takeout. Throughout time, the tipping expectation has spread from a few well-defined industries such as restaurants, pizza delivery and bartending, to include any number of mom and pop shops and, unbelievably, the coffee industry, dominated by the multinational corporation Starbucks Corp. By encouraging tipping, Starbucks and local competitor Tully's Coffee Corp. are shirking responsibility to their workers by paying wages that are low by any standard. Starbucks should stop relying on customer tips to supplement worker income and pay its hourly employees more. Corporations such as Starbucks hire hourly employees at low wages but make sure to mention that tips also are a factor. But the starting wage in midtown Manhattan, $7.75 per hour plus tips, was low in relation to the cost of living. The workers in one New York store have begun the first steps toward unionization, joining with the Retail Workers Union, according to the Starbucks Workers Union Web site. Starbucks does not offer raises until after six months, typically 11 cents, and the company's medical coverage is difficult, if not impossible, for workers just scraping by to afford, according to the Web site. The reliance on tips for income also makes it difficult for a coffee-shop employee to determine if he or she is making a fair wage, a task made even more difficult by the widely varying hours since most locations do not guarantee 40 hours a weeTc, according to the Starbucks Workers Union Web site. Tipping inadvertently takes the pressure off corporations to provide a living wage for workers and places it on the consumer. Advocates who promote a "living wage" believe that employees who work 40 hours a week should be able to afford some type of housing with 30 percent of their income â€” an impossibility given the minimum wage many service jobs offer, according to the Universal Living Wage Campaign Web site. SEE Tipping, PAGE 19 ---------- Western Front 2004-10-19 - Page 19 ---------- October 19, 2004 OPINIONS The Western Front â€¢ 19 Sinclair: Group is showing its bias Continued from Page 18 an opinion article on the CBS Web site that what Sinclair is doing is comparable to another broadcasting group preempting news to show Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" and then calling the movie news. The public would not stand for this, at least the conservative part of the population. The company would likely be bombarded by angry phone calls, protests and even boycotts. Sinclair does own the stations that are broadcasting the documentary, and has the right to do what it chooses with its affiliates. It would be less of a conflict, however, if the group was not preempting local broadcasts during primetime, on public airwaves, to show a politically charged program Even if the group had let "The Fallen" air and kept its political standing to itself, this would not be viewed as just another documentary criticizing Kerry. News broadcast companies should provide fair, accurate and unbiased news. By many reports, including an October 13 Boston Globe article, this documentary is neither fair nor unbiased, and hardly even news. Tipping: Fair wages are the responsibility of employers Allow: Scientists reluctant to testify Continued from Page 17 deathpenaltyinfo.org. juveniles, but they do not take into account premeditation, which is often a significant factor determining whether to punish a criminal with death. Premeditation implies the opposite of impulsiveness. Planning a crime for weeks is not an impulsive decision, so his decision was not affected by the part of his brain that may not be fully mature. Also according to the findings, certain brain functions are not fully developed until the age of 18 and often not until age 22, and yet no debate exists about raising the age at which criminals are considered adults. Even many of the scientists doing research on brain maturity are unwilling to testify on a juvenile's inability to make moral, rational decisions, according to If the people defining a mature brain cannot say that juveniles should be exempt from the death penalty because of brain maturity, it is not a significant argument against the juvenile death penalty. The debate about punishing juveniles with the death penalty is not the debate about the morality of the death penalty itself. Under certain circumstances, juveniles can be as much a threat to society as adults. This is why they can, and should, be treated as adults if the crime warrants it. Limiting a dangerous juvenile's punishment on the sole basis that he or she is between 16 and 18 years of age would be ignoring his or her ability to commit crimes on the same level as an adult and overlooking him or her as a serious threat to society.

For example, consider the midtown Manhattan Starbucks that is attempting to unionize. If a worker at that location did not work 40 hours and instead worked only 35 hours, at a wage of ______ $7.75 an hour, his or her net income would be $13,904.45 a year, according to an income calculator found at the Javascript Web If Starbucks does want to make a difference... it can start by paying its employees higher site.

A universal living wage would help bridge the difference between cities and assure that all workers can afford a minimal lifestyle, regardless of the local or state minimum wage. Lost income needs to come from somewhere, and right now the ' expectation is that the consumer should make up for *vhat Starbucks refuses to pay. Tipping for coffee has already become something of an expectation, placing inappropriate is $7.16, according to the State Department of Labor Web site. Therefore, if a worker earning $7.75 an hour, working 35 hours a week, transferred from a Seattle Starbucks to one in New York City, he or she would have to earn 50.9 percent more money than in An obvious solution would be for Starbucks to get rid of its tip jars and pay an extra $1 or $2 more an hour â€” what the employee would make in lost tip wages. Starbucks, however, is unlikely to pay more for wages because its success is contingent upon hiring workers at low wages, encouraging tipping with the placement of tip jars and relying on workers to spread the word that their livelihood is dependent on tips. Given the low wages of the food and beverage industry as a whole, Starbucks is not necessarily a bad corporation for which to work. Part-time employees working 20 hours or more are eligible to receive health-care benefits, with Starbucks listed in Fortune 500's "100 Best Places to Work" list, according to the Starbucks Web site. Health-care benefits are meaningless, however, if employees cannot afford to make use of them and if workers are forced to rely on tips as a source of income. If Starbucks does want to make a difference, to its workers and to the community, it can start by paying its employees higher wages and stop asking its customers for a handout on behalf of its employees. By raising wages and nixing the tip jars, Starbucks can make a difference in the coffee industry, and perhaps in the fast-food industry as well. Maybe the outcome will be a future with living wages for all workers. Outlaw: Rehabilitation, change more likely for juveniles Continued from Page 17 violations. Recent studies by the Harvard Medical School, the National Institute-of Mental Health and the University of California, Los Angeles' Department of Neuroscience suggest that adolescents be held accountable to the same extent as adults. The frontal and pre-frontal lobes of the brain regulate impulse control and judgment. These lobes are not fully developed until after 18, and often not until age 22, according to the ACLU Web site. These findings show that young people tend to make unsouiid judgments more often, act on impulse and not understand or realize the consequences of their actions. Also according to the ACLU Web site, adolescents are more likely to rehabilitate 'The death penalty should be reserved for criminals who cannot are unable to change and less likely to â€”for serial killers make mistakes as such as Gary Ridgway and Ted Bundy.' they grow older and their brains mature. While supporters of the juvenile death penalty may say young criminals will never benefit society, these studies also show that adolescents are more likely than adults to be rehabilitated because they can gain the ability to realize the consequences of their actions as their brains continue to develop, according to the ACLU Web site. The death penalty age should be raised to an age when the human brain has fully matured. The execution of people who do not have fully developed brain functions is morally wrong. â€”^- The death penalty should be reserved for criminals who are unable to change â€” for serial killers such as Gary Ridgway and Ted Bundy and for people who will never be able to be controlled. Many juveniles can change for the better, no matter how harsh the crime, and they deserve a second chance at life â€” even if it is in prison. WASHER/DRYER. Hotpoint. White electric dryer.

Dean of Men W. J. Marquis resigned this spring and Miss Bertha Crawford, junior high English instructor, plans to leave at the end of the summer school term. Miss Crawford is retiring after 21 years in the Campus school: Marquis came to WWC 'from Everett to take the position; of dean of men in 1923.

Equipment Arriving For Radio Station Equipment is gradually coming in for the radio station to be established this summer by the Speech department,.

The radio broadcasting classy Speech 120, will do a good share of the work; other students will be worked into the program later according to needs and demands as .they arise.. Because of the great demand for diction training among teachers, the usual class limit of 24 has been lifted for the summer term. Although the facilities of the speech laboratory are limited, Dr. Cotton feels that working under crowded conditions is preferable to closing the classes and depriving many of the advantages of speech instruction. Miss Bertha Crawford, who. is retiring after teaching 21 years in the Campus school. Hike and Feed Are Planned! Chuckanut mountain hikers will get under way from the PE building at 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. Miss Lillian George will set the pace.

"The Rocks" is on the beach.ten blocks below South Bellingham. A cup and spoon are all the equipment needed. Tickets for the salmon dinner may be secured in the Office of the dean of men for thirty-five cents. "You have not tasted fish at its best until you have eaten of the masterful cooking of Dr. Bond," said L. A. McGee, recreation chairman. ' Recreation headquarters are in the Office of the dean of men. Either McGee or Chet Ullin will be there from 8:40 to 5:00 each day, except during .the 2:10 period.

Notices of meetings of these and possibly other clubs will be posted on the club bulletin board in the main hall from time to time. The International Relations club, advised by Miss Nora B. Cummins, is planning a study of Streit's "Union Now.' In addition to welcoming all old members, the IR/C is inviting all interested outsiders to come to its meetings. Works: of recent writers will be discussed by the Vanadis Bragi members at their meetings. Dr. Arthur Hicks is faculty adviser.

Given an Opportunity The Schools WILL Do It With the increasing responsibility placed upon the schools in the way of character and * physical development, we canhot help but feel that in order to do all thatj $ f are asked to do, we must have a longer school year. Our present scliool term of 180 days is a great advance over what prevailed in some sections years ago Unfortunately of late, die figure has tended to stalemate at that point. Well-trained teachers are coming forth m increasing numbers. In a few years die level of preparation in the state of Wash-ngton will be very high. Why, then, can't we give these teachers an opportunity to do a real job? * The public is expecting more and more of the school. Lengthening the term of instruction will give educators an opportunity to really do what is asked of mem. You'll Never Be Much Younger Dr. Lucy Kangley used to make her . students gasp when she advised them to do a great deal of outside reading while in college. According to her, teachers in the field seldom had the necessary time. Like so many another idea Dr. Kangley drove home in her brilliant way, this, we, after four years of teaching, have found to be only too true. Admirably reviewed elsewhere on this page is John Steinbeck's powerful "The Grapes of Wrath?' Allow us to recommend Dr. Kangley's thought and "The Grapes of Wrath." Proud and Pleased As Punch We are proud and pleased as punch to find that so many capable people have vol-untered to work for the Collegian. On the staff we have three former editors: Joan Hoppe, Rex Rolle, and Clarence Soukup; and three former business managers (and they, too, can write): Victor Dickinson, Bill Ridder, and Nancy Jane Smith. Donovan Reeve is carvng his: inimitable way through the linoleum again. In addition there are almost a dozen other willing and able reporters who have already made things hum. The WWC faculty and staff have been more.than willing to help. In fact we almost are, to paraphrase one Hashimura Togo, "suffocated with it," but hoi what a grand feeling that is. FOLLOW THE BIRDS TO VICTORIA Then There's Always The Weather Our pet 999 about the weather: if summer falls on a Sunday this year, let's go down to the beach and have a picnic. Visit the New World's Oldest City, July 4, in "A Trip Abroad in a Day" The Grapes of Wrath Here and There By c,oire L Boys Last week cocky Nippon was again having fun twisting the old British Lion's tail. The tormentors twist this time consisted of blockading the British and Stench concessions in Tientsin. So far the old Lion has just blinked his eyes and. given his disturber a menacing look. By the end of the week he will probably rise up and deal a telling blow to his offender. Wanting no trouble with the United States, Japan is allowing the 400 Americans living in the British and French concessions to pass- the blockade without difficulty. Practically all business has stopped, and very, little fresh food supplies have been allowed to pass the blockade. Japan declares she will strengthen her blockade further still unless England stops giving aid to the Chinese. V V SPANISH REFUGEES AND GOLD Generalissimo. Franco would like very much to get his hands on $200,000,000 in gold left in French banks by the former Republican government. France has informed Franco that the refugee problem must be settled before she will return the gold. In addition they expect a settlement by September of this year. The original number of 500,- 000 refugees harbored in southern France has been whittled down to 350,000. Nine thousand former Spanish soldiers have joined the French Legion rather than return to Franco for punishment. Three shiploads have already gone to Mexico and others are expected to leave shortly. The French gov-, eminent, has spent 130,000,000 thus far caring for the refugees. * .. V V ROCKETS AND MINERALS Sometime during the 30th century from some point in the United States large ultra-streamlined rockets will swish dizzily through space and come to a screaming stop in Antarctica. Aboard these rockets will be workmen, mostly miners, who will dig into the frozen strata for the last untapped source of valuable mineral resources left in the world. Fantastic, you say? Well maybe. Regardless of the absurdity of the rocket story, last week in Washington plans were being laid to establish claims to large portions of Antarctica.' With the help of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Lincoln Ellsworth, and 200 men, the expedition will be government- sponsored. President Roosevelt has requested Congress to appropriate $340,000 to finance the expedition. England, Norway, France, and Germany, have already taken the trouble to make international claims. Already, mineralogists have found coal, iron, copper, and titanium. So if any rugged, ambitious young American desires new frontiers, let him look to Antarctica. Campi Coast to Coast By Winnie Rittenberg Between forty and fifty U.

Reviewed by Nancy Jane Smith Steinbeck has been called unpredictable by his critics. No two books have been, so far, at all alike. There is, however, an undercurrent of similarity which flows through them all . . .the proletarian theme . . . the gentle frankness which occasionally becomes robust, but never really offensive. In Grapes of Wrath he has voiced the' indistinct rumbling of the new and spreading - urge to mass survival. Here he has breathed *• life into people of whom we have read rather unconcernedly in the newspapers. He has made them live with a realism which is fantastic to those of us who have lived our comfortable, commonplace lives, never-knowing the devastation of a dust storm, the insecurity, the hopelessness of being unwanted. These people, the Joads and others like them, were thrown into conditions of filth, disease, and starvation through no fault of their own. The harder they struggled to keep above the surface, the deeper they seemed to sink into the mire. The environment in whiqh Steinbeck matured has colored his writing. Because he is a Californian, he writes with feeling the tone of the country; because he has worked he can understand the laborer of whom he writes; because he has been hungry, painfully, ---------- WWCollegian - 1939 June 23 - Page 3 ---------- \ip7.

While in San Francisco the Millers visited the Golden Gate International exposition, which, while only one-tenth the size of the New York World's fair, Dr. Miller considered very attractive, a harmonious whole in a delightful setting. Mrs. Miller stayed in southern California visiting friends and relatives and to attend the Northern Baptist convention in Los Angeles. Continuing his trip eastward, the veteran WWC educator toured the Carlsbad caverns, stopped in New Orleans, and visited in North Carolina. His greatest thrill he experienced while at the simple, yet expressive tomb of George Washington. A bit of personal satisfaction was experienced in the Library of Congress where among the 7,OOQ,Q0Q volumes, Dr. Miller's four were catalogued. Another thrill came to Radio city in New York where Dr. Miller and a nephew participated in a television broadcast.

Inclement weather is the reason ascribed to the. decision to confine sports activities to the PE building until the middle of July. The sport program will consist of all star teams composed of such greats and near greats as Harold Nelson, Russ Eyer, Dannie Gagnon, Jack Millard, and stars of other days, both varsity and intramural. These fellows and all others who are interested will turn out every afternoon at 4:20 in the PE building. Those who are in shape will try to retain that schoolgirl figure, and those who have been letting themselves go will try to lose, those buffet fronts. Two games are scheduled with the U of W summer stars who are being coached by Jack ^Torney. Tentative dates for these two encounters have been set for Wednesday, June 28, at Seattle, and Thursday, July 6, at Bellingham. The men who are tojplay in these games will be picked lby Coach Lappenbusch from those turning out at 4:20. Since the time is so short it is imperative that anyone aspiring to a position on the team commence showing up for scrimmage immediately. P o t s h o t S Engebretsen For the benefit of those who are new at WWC, a little explanation of the physical education setup may be in order. Since Coach Sam Carver is on leave of absence this summer the men's PE program is in charge of Coaches Lappenbusch and Mc- Gee. Lappy will have charge the first half of the quarter and then he has a month's vacation before taking up football practice in the fall. Lappy coaches tennis daily at 8:40 and will coach the all-stars in basketball every afternoon at 4:20. An attendant will be in the locker room at these hours and also at 2 o'clock to furnish equipment to all who wish to avail themselves of the physical education facilities. Besides basketball and tennis, one may play badminton or ping pong. Tennis, of course,-is played on the old courts which are located across High street from the library or on the newer ones behind the PE building. Ping pong and badminton are played in the building. There is no charge for equipment aside from the fees which you have already paid. Tennis players must furnish ^their own rackets and tennis balls and shoes. Those playing basketball, ping pong, or badminton need furnish only their gym shoes. . All right you old men, you young men, you fat.men, you thin men, you married men, you single men-let's turn out and suit up and get back a little of that old fire! Watch these columns for further information concerning dates,, games and matches, and everybody turn out. If not to play to watch.

Born in Texas, she received her early training from Samuel Myerscough, of Dublin, Ireland. In addition, Miss Scott has studied with Frank LaForge of New York and Joseph Lhevinne of Denver. LaForge is of interest to Washington people because his older brother, Charles F. LaForge, well-known Washington lumberman, financed his education. As an accompanist, LaForge has the reputation of being the one in America whose name has box office value. He received all his training in America. Miss Strange is at the Lamont school in Denver at the present time studying with Mr. and Mrs. Lhevinne who are outstanding exponents of two-piano work. During alternate summers Miss Scott spends a month in each of these, Alaska towns: Ketchikan, Juneau, and Fairbanks. While in Alaska she works only with piano teachers. Added to the Industrial Arts staff for the present session is Kindschy, principal of the elementary school of Tumwater, Washington. Replacing Don Bushell, who is now in California, is Smith, a graduate of the University of Washington and member of the Ballard high school faculty. He will teach music and orchestra. Ullin, graduate of WWC and former football star, now teaching at Rainier elementary school in Seattle, will assist Loye McGee'i with the summer recreation program. Heading the Collegian staff in the capacity of both editor and faculty adviser, is Dornblut, a degree graduate of WWC, and member of the staff of the Alderwood elementary school at Alderwood Manor, Washington.

Unseen They Suffer Unheard They Ciy In Agony TheyLinger In Loneliness They Die Thus reads the sign draped from the information table in front of Miller Hallnext to a simulated cage, in which a student sits motionless with a brown monkey's mask over her head. A sign on the cage reads, "75 hour vigil for the primates in Miller Hall." It's all part of a protest carriedout by 15 people concerned about the well-being of research animals in laboratories across the nation,and specifically, the eight primates used for experiments in the basement of Miller Hall. The group,which calls itself the Animal Rights Campaign of Whatcom County, will trade off six-hour shifts in thecage until the rally in Red Square Friday when the simulated captive will be freed, and various speakerswill be presented. "We're trying to show people what it would be like to live in a cage," said Cheryl Piatt,a Bcllingham commercial artist who organized the event. The experiments in Miller Hall commonly havebeen the cause of much protest by students who want to know what type of experiments are being carried out. Merle Prim of the psychology department, who is in charge of the primate research, is commonlycriticized for being rather secretive about the experiments. Piatt said Prim's research is funded withtaxpayers' money, and therefore, the public has a right to know what he is doing in his lab. ButRichard Thompson, chairman of the psychology department, said, "The public and university are notcontributing a large amount of money to fund his lab." He said Prim is the chief contributor and thepsychology department provides only "incidental support." Plait explained her reasons for objecting to the animal experimentation at Western while sitting in the cage Tuesday afternoon. She said it is not fairthat information about the experiments is kept "undercover" and believes Prim "must have something to hide," because he often refuses to answer questions about the experiments, and has not allowedthem to read his research proposals. But Wednesday, Prim did answer questions regarding hisexperiments. He would answer only in writing because he is cautious of being misinterpreted. He said,"Most accusations that I have encountered have come from...lhosc who are ignorant of what I am doing (or) ...those who have a moral stance which docs not accept that live animal research should beaccomplished at this university or any university." â€¢"' â€¢ He said one of the main reasons entrance tothe primate lab is restricted is because monkeys arc susceptible to tuberculosis and can not recoveronce inflicted. The simple solution to this problem is to lock . humans out of the lab. Those whooppose any animal research "do not accept any factual argument that what I do has value," he said. Andso, "There is little that can be gained from a discussion with (them)." Brochures distributed near thedemonstration â€” see ANIMALS, p.2 U.S.-Japan trade 'problem': interpretation, consul says By TimMillard staff reporter A recent charge that Japan flooded the United States with semi-conductors inviolation of a previous trade agreement should not be allowed to destroy relations between the two"greatest trading countries in the world. At least that's the opinion of the Consul-General of Japan,Shigenobu Nagai, as stated during a lecture Tuesday in the Library Presentation Room. Nagai said thecombined total of the United States' and Japan's Gross National Products account for one-third of theworld's GNP. And trade between the two is about one-quarter of the world's total trade, so a trade warbetween the two countries would have a tremendous world effect. Because of the great economicpower of the two countries, many Japanese consider the United States-Japanese, bi-lateral relationshipto be the most important one in the world. "We must solve this (trade issue) with high conscienceand care based on partnership," Nagai said. The problem is one of interpretation, he said. TheJapanese do not think they unloaded loo many conductors but instead think the U.S. conductors couldnot compete. He pointed to the high value of the dollar within the last several years as a contributingfactor. It made U.S. products much more expensive and less competitive on the world market. This isbecoming a current problem for the Japanese with the large gains the yen has had lately against theworld market. Nagai said currently the U.S. trade deficit with Japan is $58.6 billion, the largestimbalance the United States has with any single country. He quickly pointed out the United States hastrade deficits with most countries. Canada is â€¢second to Japan at $23.3 billion. Newly industrializedAsian count r i e s such as South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan combine for $36 billion. The European nations combine for $26 billion, and Latin America is at $13.6 billion. The global total for 1986 cameto a deficit of $170 billion. He said Japan has a growing awareness, to cooperate in fixing a mutualproblem. Work currently is being done to open new market areas, increase domestic demand and makeeconomic structural adjustments. Nagai also talked about the economic relationship between Japanand Washington State. Washington is second among the states in the amount of Japanese trade with14 percent. California is first at 33 percent. In 1985, Washington imported $9.2 billion from Japan whileexporting $3.5 billion. Although it appears to be a large imbalance, he said 70 to 80 percent ofimports are "unloaded here and are transported to the midwest or elsewhere." Of Washingtonexporters to Japan, Boeing, Co. ranked top in- 1985 with $7 billion. Japan is B o e i n g ' s largestoverseas customer, Nagai said. A cooperative project now is underway between Boeing and Japan tobuild a mid-size, commercial plane with costs shared equally. Investment in Washington hasincreased in the last three years, Nagai said. Presently, $350 million is poured into the state withmost of it going to high tech and fishing industries. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ By Clay MartinillilBiBBiiHiiBH^^fciH B^i^BiiiiiiiiiBiiiiisii liillliiliii^HiJ^BB(iii ^BIWlittipHiiB^^ISIM(||Silll lliBiiBiifcHiiiiiBiiiiSHiBlBBIiBiiilllHBlIl! ftlliiilBlBiM^Bi^ili^Bl SiSSiilBiBliiHliliMIl |^gi|llBp|Â§|||J5^5i| IffilliiiMH^^BWBiiiffilliiiii^BiBifflil^BiliH^M HiiBHllllil^HBIIIHHi ^HHIBiH^BttMii^Hiliiii B^BBii^BBMiiiiiiiB^B HlB^BiilBiliiliBB^BII^HIilH^^B^liiiSlliBl iiili^^ttirtsiBiiiiiiBBi ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Western joins nation in animal rights rally ANIMALS,from p.l claim more than 300,000 lab animals are killed every day at a yearly cost of $3 billion oftaxpayers' money. "There is a basic dishonesty in some of the ways some of the animal activistspresent their claims," Thompson said. He said Prim's monkeys do not suffer in the way the activistshave suggested. "The only pain (the primates) suffer is the kind of pain all of us sufferâ€”bumps on thehead, stomach discomfort, etc. "I have absolutely no problem with public accountability," Prim said. "Isuspect that the health and welfare of the monkeys here at Western far exceeds that of most petowners." Currently, Prim is working on an experiment in concert with a U n i v e r s i t y of Washingtonneurosurgeon, in which primates will have electrodes surgically implanted in their brains to testcorrelation between brain activity and test performance. He said it is necessary to attach theelectrodes to the brain because,- "one can only predict where and how a given potential is generated byrecording from the brain itself. Prim said a campus-wide Animal Care Committee was formed torepresent the public in reviewing the research. They held a meeting early this week, but Piatt said, "Itwas monopolized by the researchers, and we didn't get a chance to ask any questions." Lois Garlick,who worked as a science technician at Western for 17 years and now is retired, said she was at themeeting to ask Prim about his failure to publish findings from his research. She said she was pre-empted and did not get a chance to ask. "If animals are going to be used in that way, some papersshould come from it. There's nowhere you can look up his work in t h e l i b r a r y , and t h a t 'sridiculous," she said. Piatt has similar arguments. She said People for the Ethical Treatment of Animalsinformed her from Washington D.C. that Prim has not published any of his findings since 1970. Primcontradicted this. He said the results of a joint project with neurosurgeons at the University ofWashington were published at the 1983 annual ncuros-ciences meeting in Cincinnati, and the resultsof his two-year stay at Stanford University currently are being prepared for publication. Thompson said,"Whether or not he has published has very little to do with the merits of the experiments." At the veryleast, students will learn from them, he said. "We're very careful about car research. Most of it isbecause we don't like to see animals suffer, not only because of ethical reasons, but because ofselfish reasonsâ€”unhappy animals don't make good subjects." dov next to going there, is to hearsomebody talk fi8urc Â°"f t h c rationale of the store.

"I don't think we should begene splicing because it's not what God intended," said Thcrese Pope, a student and former-member ofStudent Catholic Involvement. "We're fiddling around with things we shouldn't be fiddling with." Popesaid thc Catholic Church teaches that humans are designed the way God intended, in his own image.Thc policy, adopted by the U.S. Commerce Department's Patent and Trademark Office, will permit newforms of animal life, application of new traits in plants and animals and mixing between animal, plant,microbe and human genes. Pope said she believes gene splicing used in agriculture to breed betteranimals is wrong. "Agriculture of this kind promotes Darwin's Theory, 'survival of the fittest.' We'rerushing things in not accepting the natural course of life." On t h e o t h e r h a n d , a Lutheran priest atWestern said he supports the creation of new life through gene splicing and commends the scientificwork of biotechnologists. "I respect a guy who knows so much, applies his knowledge and comes outwith more awe than he had going in," said Rev. James Stender, a priest at Shalom Center, formerlyCampus Christian Ministries. S t e n d e r , f o r m e r l y a pharmacology student at Indiana UniversityMedical Center in Indianapolis, said, "We have to use what is known to help people, and that's asacred task." Stender was in contact with biogeneticists while at IUMC. There he became fullyconvinced that they regulated their work consistently and were "ethics conscious." ' "Thc U.Sgovernment went around asking colleges to do research on chemical warfare, and they offered a lot ofmoney," Stender said. "Right away, scientists protested that. . .and anytime they saw the net results of their research going to military use, they phased the research out." Almost all genetic research inWestern's biology department deals with plants, as opposed to animal research, said a departmentspokesman. Bob Harrison, an ordained minister with United Ministries in Higher Education on campus,said all religions will debate the issue of new animal life-form patents for the future. "Religion and thechurches are going to look at the relationship between science and them; selves, said Harrison of the Shalom Center. "There are a lot of new theological issues that'll take time to resolve . . . and it'severyone's responsibility." Bushue leaves Western and WSL BUSHUE, from p. 1 lobby organizationknown as Western Political Action Committee. Bushue and Wyble distributed flyers during-springregistration, which stated Echelbargcr and Wood were trying to form the organization for "their ownpolitical gain." Wyble now automatically becomes the new WSL chairman. He said they will leavethe vice chairman position open until someone is elected to the position in the May 5 and 6 ASelections. Although Wyble said he was informed of Bushue's resignation April 9, Echelbargcr and Wood had not heard of it until Wednesday. Echelbarger approves of thc decision. "That's appropriate action considering he's no longer a student," she said. Echelbarger said the AS-WSL conflict "has been alearning experience for everyone involved." She added, "It has given us thc opportunity to practiceconflict-resolution skills." ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 3 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 WESTERN FRONT 3 'Dialogue' invites groups Stories by Turtle Robb and Barry Rogowski staff reporters _ to tell peace, war views The number of veterans present was small, but theiremotions were strong during the name-reading memorial of 1,073 veterans from Washington State whodied in the Vietnam war. Most of the veterans present for the name reading in Red Square Wednesdaywere Vietnam veterans, but also present were veterans of World War II and the Korean War. The wecj:-!ong "Dialogue on Peace and War" was an attempt to bring the military, Veterans of Foreign Wars andpeace advocates together to share their views about past and present eras of peace and war in thenation's history. The National Guard's 2S6th engineers parked military equipment on High Street Tuesday for their part in the week's es'erils. "We are seeing the military on a college campus for the first timesince the early '70s, and then they were being met by student protesters," said Randy Hansen of theAssociated Students' Veteran's Outreach Center. College students' reactions about war and warveterans are much different today than in the 1960s. Few students objected to the National Guard'spresence on campus. "It is great to be here and able to hold this memorial without protest interrupting,"said Ben-nie Dickenson, a Vietnam veteran who displayed the flag during the memorial. Veteransdeserve recognition, and they are finally getting it, he said. "You might not agree with the politics (ofthe Vietnam era) but it is important to honor the memory of the people who sacrificed their lives for whatthey believed in," said Barb Hoyman, a Western student. "I was called a baby killer and I was spat onwhen I returned from Vietnam in June of 1970. The ribbons I earned over there I have thrown away,"Dickenson added. "Until two years ago, I was afraid to admit being a Vietnam veteran; now I am proudto be a veteran." Many Vietnam veterans have emotional scars that never will heal. About 60,000 died in action in Vietnam. Twice as many Vietnam veterans died after the war. Many of those committedsuicide, said Emmeit Early, a psychologist who has worked extensively with veterans. The mortality rate of Vietnam veterans after the war is much higher than that of World War II and Korean War veterans, hesaid. The attitude of the nation was vastly different toward World War II veterans than Vietnam WhidbeyIsland Murine Color Guard presents the colors in front of the Performing Arts Center to open "Dialogue on Peace and War" Monday. Photos by Mike G\vynn Veterans, said Harry Monroe, a World War II veteranwho served 27 months on a destroyer in the South Pacific and fought in 11 major battles. "In my war, wcwere heroes for at least a year afterward. I couldn't buy a meal or a drink for myself, someone wouldalways buy it for me," he said. The psychological difficulties that lead to the high mortality rate occurmore frequently in veterans involved in the heaviest fighting in Vietnam during 1968 and 1969, Early said.Many veterans have a need to talk about what happened in Vietnam to release the emotions and stressthat occurs after being in combat, he said. For many of the Vietnam veterans present, the name-readingmemorial in Red Square was part of a healing process that allowed them to communicate their emotionsto Western students. "We were the same age as most college students when we went to Vietnam,"James Green, a Vietnam veteran said. "Vietnam would be the greatest loss if nothing is learned from it,"Early said. It is very important to the veterans to communicate their emotions to the students oncampus, because their age group will go into the next conflict, Green said. "I didn't know the history of Vietnam before I went into the war," said Ron Halfhill, who flew helicopter missions in Vietnam. "I wasraised with the mentality to fight the good fight and went to Vietnam to help win the war," he said. "I nowthink the war was unwinnable, because the Vietnamese were fighting for their homeland. We would havehad to kill off the Vietnamese people to win. "If I had one message to give to students, I would say not to be simply led into combat because some vague political figure says to go." Today is the last day of theforum, a day dedicated to peace issues. Speakers include a variety of community leaders, professorsand ministers who will speak during the day individually, in panel discussions and in audienceparticipation sessions on the theme of world peace, said Lynn Allen, volunteer organizer. Other eventstoday include the movie "Under the Nuclear Umbrella" at 11 a.m., a panel discussion titled "Imagining the Real" at noon, Erin Corday's music at 2 p.m., a video tilled "No Frame, No Boundaries" at 2:30 p.m. and another showing of the multi-media presentation "Vietnam Gencration-a Media Meltdown" at 5 p.m. Allevents arc in the Viking Union, except the media presentation, which will be shown in Lecture Hall 4.1968: Pvt. James Green is at the controls of an Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) near Pleiku, in thecentral highlands of Vietnam. Tuesday, on W e s t e r n 's ' campus, Green once again had his handson the controls of an APC, for the first time in 19 years. He shuddered. "I remember the [ire fight inwhich I became temporarily deaf," he said. James still has problems hearing. "We were on a r o u t ine scarch-and-destroy patrol with the 176th. Ten tanks. Ten APCs. I was driving the fifth one in line. We rounded the corner of an incredibly brushy tea plantation. "Right in front of us was a barracks, and itwasn't ours. The fires inside were still hot. Charlie (Vietcong) was nearby. Our officers got excited andwanted to find him." They did. Sooner than they expected. "The lead tank got only 100 yards beforeCharlie launched a rocket-propelled grenade into it. The second tank in line exploded. M-16 fire openedup all around. Charlie was everywhere. "We called an artillery unit and had them shell as close to us aswe dared." He pointed to the bookstore War memories linger in shattered optimism Vietnam veteranJames Green reads a list of 1,500 Washington residents killed in the Vietnam conflict. The memorialreading was conducted Wednesday in Red Square. from the entrance to the Viking Union. "Shells werehitting that close," he said. "The noise caused me to become completely deaf for five days." Greenrelaxed and leaned back in the driver's scat of the APC. "I can't believe I didn't die in a seat like thisone." About 50 days later, Green contracted malaria and was sent home after spending eight months in Vietnam. "I remember when my mother came to sec mc in the hospital when I got home, Just the lookon her face. I was so frail from not eating in 14 days that I could barely crack a smile." Green attendedmany different colleges in the next few years, including Fairhaven, from which he graduated in 1975.Yet, something in his life still was missing. "The bonds joining me to society and the optimism I had forAmerica's future before I went to Vietnam were shattered. "I couldn't cope with society and moved to thewoods out on Mount Baker Highway for solitude." Optimism returned slowly for Green, and lastDecember he was on Western's campus with the idea of a presentation about the Vietnam generation. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 4 ---------- 4 WESTERN FRONT SPORTS FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Lacrosse scoops win By The Front staff TheWestern men's lacrosse team got back on track this weekend, taking two games from eastern rivalsWhitman College and Washington State University. Last weekend's losses in the Western StateInvitational Tournament in Sonoma, Calif, quickly were forgotten as the Vikings defeated Whitman 11-6Saturday and WSU 12-8 the next day. Western shot out to a quick, three-goal lead against Whitmanwith a strong transition game and never looked back. The team strengthened its lead to 10-0 at halftimebehind the solid play of goalie Bob Burns and defenders Bob Miller, Mike Nilson and Troy "Bubba" Neal. "Burnsy (Burns) played tremendously in the first half," Western midfielder Tim Bishop said. MidfieldersJim Madigan, Tom "Rifle Guy" Bunnell and Dave Greve helped attackmen Rob Cuomo, Steve Lewis andSteve Wisman bury Whitman early with crisp passing and continuous pressure on the Whitmangoal. Cuomo, with seven goals, led Western's Steve Wisman takes aim on a fleeing Cougar. JaniceWatson all scorers in the game. Lewis and Wisman each had two goals to close out the scoring forWestern. Whitman drew closer in the second half as Western could manage only one goal while givingup six. Western usually substitutes four three-man lines during a game, but with the commanding lead,decided to experiment with eight lines to give new players a chance to compete. "We kept changinglines," Bishop said. "It's hard to keep the same flow going." "We relaxed when we thought wc had thegame in hand," midfielder Fletch Newland said. Sunday, a much-improved WSU squad gave Westerna tougher match. The two teams traded goals in the first half with Western taking a narrow 6-5 halftimeadvantage. It took Western until the fourth quarter to open up the lead for good, scoring back-to-backgoals to secure the victory. Cuomo again led all scorers with eight goals, while Wisman tallied the otherfour. Miller said WSU has improved since last year and was not a team to take lightly. WSU recentlyhired a new coach to improve the team's offensive and defensive skills. Using new techniques, theywere able to score three goals by quickly switching players, leaving Western a man short defensively."They have a new coach that's really working with them," Bishop said. "When they switched players, itwas confusing." Miller said Western will work hard on defense this week in practice, especially themidfielders.

Samish Way Young tennisclub nets loss The Western men's tennis team lost to powerful Bellevue Community College Wednesday in a tough-fought match. The Vikings won two of three doubles matches but were swept by BCC in thesingles. "I was impressed with how the guys hustled, especially George Seally in the third singlesmatch," player-coach David Luchtel said. "He played tough, hustled and took it to three games."Luchtel said the team is starting to get on its game and should - be doing well in another week or two. Teammate Mark Woodke agreed. "We just have to keep playing against good teams," he said. Theteam is made up of many freshmen, and as they get more playing time, they gain more confidence,Luchtel said. BCC always is first or second in the league and usually competes with Green RiverCommunity College for the title, he said. The men arc scheduled to play a make-up match at 2 p.m.today on their home court against Skagit Valley College. Students are encouraged to come and cheerthem on. The women's tennis team, meanwhile, is having trouble finding opponents. Two teams in the league folded, leaving only a few matches left on Western's schedule.

Parked in front of them on High Street were military vehicles, atent and National Guard soldiers in camouflage uniforms. No protestors, name calling or anti-war signswere evident. No one seemed to think the visit unusual. But it was. For the first time in the nation sincethe early 1970s, the military appeared on a college campusâ€”our campus~as part of "Dialogue onPeace and War" sponsored by the Associated Students' Veterans Outreach Center this week. Studentsseemed comfortable with the military's presence, just as they may have been in 1954. Vietnam, the focus of the "war" side of this week, is either forgotten or misunderstood by today's students. Movies such as"Top Gun" have glorified and restored the public's faith in military power. Twenty years ago, the VietnamWar couldn't be mentioned on a college campus without sparking anger and protest. Yet Wednesday,the names of hundreds of Washingtonians killed in Vietnam echoed through Red Square in a memorialreading. They were heard like the background splashes of Fisher Fountain as students passed throughuninterested, their minds on the next day's accounting exam. Why doesn't anyone care? History hasmuch to teach this generation. If we disregard the lessons of war, how will we prevent it from happeningagain? We beseech students to take an interest in today's events and the messages from those whohave lived through one mistake. It doesn't take much for an international incident to become anational incident, or for a national incident to become a nation's tragedy. We have the opportunity to learn from our nation's past mistakes. The 60,000 who died in Vietnam don't have the luxury. Postscript...Morning news for your breakfast entertainment.

Webster, Carole Wicdmeyer, John WybleMemory lingers Nicaragua: Vietnam again? Names of dead soldiers crackled over a microphone. Morethan 1,000 were named, but few people who passed by the peaceful demonstration in Red SquareTuesday spent any time listening. The Veterans' Outreach Center was reading the names ofWashington soldiers who were killed in Vietnam, while people ignored them and had their owndiscussions about the Seattle Sonics and t he opposite sex. Seemingly, these arc more intense topics. Why should anybody care about Vietnam anymore? One veteran said maybe we should care becausemany men who died in Vietnam were no older than 19 or 20--the same age as many of the studentsjaunting through the square, ignoring the vets message. Spring survival tips William J. Freeberg staffreporter Vietnam lingers in the minds of Americans as the war they would like to forget, while Nicaragua and El Salvador are the wars they refuse to acknowledge. This refusal may slap many youths in theface when they receive draft notices because the wars in Central America no longer arc considered"covert" by our government. The similarities between Vietnam and Central America are staggering.Troops and advisers were installed in Vietnam before it was declared a legitimate war. The politicalclimate changed and the government flouted Vietnam as a war against communism. These sameundercover tactics continue in Central America. Our government funds the con-tras covertly, subvertsprogressive change and murders people. When this situation extends beyond covert action, young menwill fight another war without a purpose. The names were read in Red Square. Only a handful o[ peopleshowed their respect by standing through a significant part of the memorial service. We are beingwarned not to make the same mistake in Central America that we made in Vietnam. Twenty years fromnow, one of you may be reading the names of men who died in Nicaragua. Then maybe more people willgive a damn, or at least take 10 minutes from their life to stand and mourn those we have lost. Take lifeeasy this quarter It's not too late to take the steps necessary to make this spring quarter the best ever.I've been noticing what my fellow students have been doing to gear up for what is t he last quarter ofthe year for most of us, and I believe all can benefit from sharing their wisdom. First of all, take fewercredits. Give yourself a break! If you have to, drop a couple of classes. The weather's getting warmer,you'll probably get an incurable case of spring fever halfway into the quarter, and you're basically goingto need as much time as possible to lay around outside in the sun. Seven to 12 credits should be yourmaximum class load. Any more than that, and you may find yourself actually spending spare t i m e in th e l i b r a r y doing homework while your friends are off playing softball or waving at you betweenFrisbee tosses across Red Square. Another imperative and popular spring-quarter activity is spending every spare moment be- Wendy Staley staff reporter tween classes in Red Square around FisherFountain. Be sure to wear your shades and, if possible, find a dry spot around the rim of the fountainto sit 4 gt;n. From this perch, casually wave to recognizable classmates passing by and occasionallycall out "Hey!" or "How ya doin"?" to those you know by name. Don't do homework while you're sittingin the spray, though. You don't want anyone to think you're taking more than 12 credits, do you?Investing in a hibachi or some other barbecue apparatus also is a good step toward making your springquarter tops. Socializing en the deck or patio among smoke-drenched, burger-eating students is a mustthis time of year. Stocking up on cheap beer might not be a bad idea, either; all that barbecue saucecan make people thirsty enough to swallow almost anything. One more a c t i v i t y you definitelyshould not be without this spring quarter is visiting a tanning booth three to four times weekly. Youwouldn't want the sickly, natural coloring of your legs exposed for all to see, would you? That would beespecially awful because all the people you know have been tanning since December and look likethey just arrived after a lifetime of living on nude beaches in Jamaica. You couldn't possibly leteveryone know you've got actual tan lines or, worse yet, that your skin's as pale as the pages of youraccounting book. Justify these and other, equally delinquent spring-quarter activities byreminding yourself that spring quarter is the perfect time to relax, kick back and kiss self-disciplinegood-bye. By following these recommendations, you'll have a spring quarter you'll be able to tell yourgrandkids about with pride. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - Page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 WESTERN FRONT 7 Letters The Front welcomes letters about all points ofview.

Court decisionunfairly favors The Front: Newsweek recently printed an article titled "A Woman's Day in Court," whichoutraged me and motivated this letter. "A landmark decision lets employers favor women andminorities," the article read, implying that this favoring was to override the objective ability of aprospective employee (as evidenced by Diane Joyce's being hired over two other male applicantswho scored higher on their interviews, on the sole basis that she was a woman). I feel a letter to thispaper will be worthwhile as an appeal to all who attend this institution and make any kind of claim ofallegiance to reason and rationality. Please understand that reward must go to the most competent and able, for if it doesn't, what reward is there in being competent and able? I know this soundsredundant, but it is frightening to consider how widely this premise is ignored. lliilBllilliililiilisiiisiiiiillillsiiiliii In such decisions as Fulilove (1980), Sheet Metal Workers (1986), Alabama State Police (1987) and the recent decision in Joyce's favor, the U.S. Supreme Court has compromised on thispremise where there can be no compromise. Sheer objective ability of an individual no longer isconsidered a priority according to the U.S. Supreme Court. Any employer who hired independently ofability and passes judgements based on irrelevant conditions is a fool, and not only takes second-best,but also gives the frightening message to the able that it is not to their benefit to be better. If I were awoman or a minority member, I would be outraged at such decisions that implied that I had not (andpossibly could not have) achieved anything for myself; any achievement I claim is only a legislatedcharity made possible by my white, male benefactors. Is this kind of legislation supposed to be for the long-term benefit of women and minority members? I hail Supreme Court Justice Antonio Scalia'sstatement of dissent against the Joyce decision that summed it up scathingly well: "...The court today completes the process of converting (civil rights law) from a guarantee that race or sex will not be thebasis for employment determination to a guarantee that it will." Think for a long while on the implications of this decision. My appeal is made. Aaron Murphy QaflBM6VNRmHNabnKM gt;TCw! Â«63i SALE-PRICED ON ARISTA PATRICE RUSHEN WATCH OUT!

I am suggesting, however, that they begin to take pictures of something besides small childrenplaying on or around campus art.

Kim Washburn Views not well not taped, but rather committed to memory and brief notes.) In particular, I wish to correct my reported criticism ofcommer-cial fiction. I'm afraid the opinions attributed to me reflect more Mr. Keeling's word choice andviewpoint than my own. We discussed my many positive experiences connected with writing andpublishing and also a few difficulties. The negative aspects seem to have been all that Mr. Keelingrecalled. I certainly have no intention of quitting writing, as I presently am involved with different stagesof three new novels. I also would hope that Mr. Keeling, as a fellow writer, could avoid the old trap ofpitting "literature" versus "commercial." After all, much of our classic art and literature was, and is,commercial. As a writer, I have a great respect for the power of words. I found the (hopefullyunintentional) manipulation of words in Mr. Keeling's article subtly disturbing for a reason pertainingto more than this particular piece. An ideal of journalism I feel worth maintaining is that of impartialpresentation of the news. Sara Stamey wmmmmmmmm represented The Front: I enjoyed my recentconversation with Front reporter/editor .

The Associated Students' Board of Directors voted Wednesday to include a referendum on the upcoming ballot that states: "Shallappropriate legal action be pursued regarding the State Legislative Budget to achieve per-student funding at Western equal to that at other state regional universities?" Although precedent for a state agency tosue the state does exist, the board has not decided what type of legal action it will t a k e if s t u d e n ts pass the referendum, said Dan Wood, vice president for External Affairs. The possibilities for the typeof action against the state include declaratory action, in which the court would give a specific ruling, arestraining order or a lawsuit. A restraining order would allow the suit to continue after the legislativesession ends. The board has not decided what may be the best course of action, Wood said. AboutS7.3 million would have to be added to the state legislative budget if the court decides Western should receive equal funding, he said. Tuition also could be reduced equal to the amount needed for equality.The courts could deny it. If the referendum is approved by the voters, the AS Board would requestWestern's Board of Trustees to ask Western's Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke to represent them, Wood said. It would put Bohlke in the position of suing the state, which provides her salary. Ifthe Board of Trustees denies the AS Board permission to acquire Bolke's services, Wood said the ASBoard can pursue the lawsuit as Associated Students', Incorporated. AS, Inc. is a nonprofitorganization parallel, yet autonomous from the AS Board. Under state law, the AS board could not useits own money to take legal action against the state. As AS, Inc., the AS board no longer would sue asan agency of the state and therefore could use money from AS, Inc. Housing renewals approachProcedures have begun to house students currently living on campus who wish to return to residencehalls for the 1987-88 academic year. Renewal forms were sent to students April 15th and are due in t he Office of U n i v e r s i ty Residences by Monday: The renewal notices inform the housing office of astudent's intent to return to a residence hall the following year. The student also indicates his or heralternate choices in case the first choice is not feasible. "We really like students currently living in thehalls to stay, because then there is a balance of all ages and not just freshmen," said Kay Rich, interimdirector of t h e Office of U n i v e r s i ty Residences. The date Western receives a student's $50admission deposit is the main determinant of where that student will be housed. If a renewal form isreceived by the housing office after the deadline, however, priority is lost. Every year this seems tocreate the most problems, said Linda Valcnchenko, University Residences assignments coordinator.Building assignments, along with roommate request forms, will be sent to students May 7. Studentsattend a sign-up night May 21 at the hall they have been assigned, where they choose specific roomsthey wish to live in. If a student fails to sign up for a room, or if the room wanted is taken, theassignment is made by computer. The final agreement is due May 22, and once it is received by thehousing office, students arc obligated to keep it. If students wishing to cancel their agreements prior tooccupancy do so before Aug. 1, they will receive $60 of the initial S90 security deposit. Between Aug.1 and Sept. 1, S30 will be refunded. After Sept. 1, no refund will be available.

Pop Religion You can always count on an enormously hipmass of humanity to generate a new trend, lose the last vestiges of self-control over it and descendupon the next one before their credit cards get cold. In t h e t r i p p y - f l i p py psychedelic days of the'60s, baby-boomers were led by rock 'n'roll gurus to the joys of transcendental mind-expansion. Theyspent many hours cramped in lotus position chanting after that existential "om," but kept running intoreligious road blocks like tofu or drugs. Tired of spiritual side-trackings and ambiguous "uhmmms," they continued the quest for an effortless spiritual boost-a quick fix of faith. Thus, pop religion. Creating oneof these religions is even easier than practicing one, and considerably more profitable. All you need are: one slightly used celebrity spokesperson to conduct $500- a-weekend seminars, two bookcasesfull of his/her mental meanderings to sell at $3.95 a paperback, a bagful of ir-resistably cute trinkets, agentle smattering of Eastern philosophy, a television special and a catchy name. Shake well,simmer at 400 degrees, and serve lukewarm. This seemed like the perfect way to pay off our collegeloans, and maybe even earn a little extra to buy that Cuisinart we've been eyeing, so we immediatelyset about the basics: a name. All the really good ones already had been taken, but we eventuallydecided on one we thought was imaginative and distinct: Era Nouveau. We then hunted down acelebrity in need of a new career. Donny Osmond was perfect. He may not be able to emote oncelluloid like Shirley MacLaine, but he can conjure up eight elemental spirits at once who sing, "Don't Be Cruel" in full chorus. We immediately sent him to Jackson Hole, Wyo., to commune with a gurunamed. "Spike" who lives on the roof of a condominium. Spike put Donny in touch with his higher self,enabling him to "channel." To set our pop religion just a little apart from all the others, we had Donn-ofind a spirit from the future. He contacted an unemployed sanitation engineer from the year 2042,named Spud Wildflower. Spud gave our main mystic man some awesome revelations, most of whichwill be pub-l i s h e d in D o n n y ' s first autobiography, "The Spud in Me." Here are a few: --VannaWhite will be the first female president of the United States. -The need for television will be eliminatedby simply giving all potential television viewers frontal lobotomies. --Madonna and Sean Penn will have12 children, all of whom grow up to be Pulitzer-prize winning photographers. -The Chariot of the Gods isa '72 Pinto Lowrider with fuzzy purple dice hanging from the rear-view mirror and a plastic dog in theback with a head that bobs up and down. Mr. Wildflower also is a whiz at personal counseling, spittingout sage spiritual advice: "Never wash your hair with foreign beer," "Only wear the top of your pajamasbecause when you wear the bottom half your lower body disappears," and "Don't eat summer squashwhen you still have zucchini packets in your freezer." Because Donny has a weakness for Pez candyand a real undiscovered talent with organic vegetable dyes, Era Nouveau stresses Pez dispensers andtie-dyed objects as cosmic talismans. Era Nouveau shops will offer, at prices ranging from $1 to$1,000, delightfully fashionable Fruit-of-the-Loom T-shirts whipped through purple, red or blue dyes, todon when you're feeling bummed out and need a little nouveau lift: We call this being "tie-dyed tohappiness." â€” HIM il April 24, 1987 Cover graphic by Kelli Langan ACCENT magazine is a weekly pull-out supplement to The Western Front.

Such subjects as animal experimentation, after-effects of nuclear war and unquestioning acceptance of authority are smoothly woven |into the plot without interrupting theflow of the fstory. "Project X" has an interesting script, likeable Icharacters and a fresh subject. OK, sothe conclusion tugs a little too strongly at the old heart Istrings. Overall, it's an enjoyable film, anddefinite-fly worth seeing. 'Academy5 lame-brained fun By Wendy Staley staff reporter "Police Academy IV" is the type of movie youj might want to see between exams during finals week. Only v/hile enduringextreme stress could you truly appreciate the movie's silly, brainless humor. The movie has a differenttheme from its Police Academy predecessors--"citizens on patrol"- but portrays more or less the same old characters performing the same old fraternity-style pranks and jokes. Some of these primitivepractical jokes are actually funny, however. I even caught myself laughing at a few of them. Duringone scene I found myself laughing at, Captain Harris (G.W. Bailey) discovering, too late that someonehas applied superglue to the mouthpiece of his megaphone, and blowtorches are required to removeit. In another stupidly humorous scene, mace is substituted for Harris' underarm deodorant. And a pigeon relieves itself more than once on Sgt. Sweetchuck. Many of the actors seem to have been chosen notbecause of any dramatic skill, but rather for verbal quirks that can be exploited. Sgt. Zed (BobcatGoldthwait) has a bizarre speech impediment-making him difficult to understand-accompanied by strange facial contortions. Sgt. Jones (Michael Winslow) uses his voice to imitate sounds such as megaphonestatic and background music. Sgt. Ducks speaks in an annoying high-pitched squeal. Most of us havelearned to beware of movies with titles ending in any number greater than "II," and in this case the ruleholds true. If you've seen any of the three previous "Police Academy" movies, you'll know what to expectfrom this one. Nothing much has changed in terms of style, scenery or script. A few interesting camerashots are one of the few things worth watching in "Police Academy IV." Near the beginning of the movie,skateboarders speed along the streets and through a parking garage and shopping mall. Some shotsof colorful hot-air balloons add to the good camera work. Obviously, this isn't a comedy for theextremely cultured. Even the least refined will find this film unstimulating. You may want to see thismovie if you're fed up with college profs probing your brain, and feeling nostalgic for high-school-levelhumor. Two students sit hunched over a board criss-crossed with lines, brows knit in concentration.After careful deliberation each places a pebble-sized black or white stone on a crosspoint, where thelines intersect. , l s it Zen chess? Alien checkers? Close. It is-Go, an ancient Chinese board game thatcombines elements of Eastern philosophy, war strategy and chess. Western sports a small butdedicated club of Go players. Started last fall by French ex-change student Laurent Notarianni, the clubis called Go Ban. Ban is the game board. Go has few rules. It is relatively easy to learn but nearlyimpossible to master, club member Heidi Steen said. The object of the game is to secure more territorythan the opponent. Territory is gained when the opponent's stones are surrounded and the "men" arecaptured. Conquering empty space, not the opponent, is the ultimate goal. Notarianni said helearned to play Go in a Bohemian bar in Paris. He was intrigued by the game's strategy andrequirement for intense concentration. "I need lots of concentration," he said. "Go is exercise foryour memory." Go also teaches patience and discipline, and gives insight into oneself and theopponent. Notarianni said he can tell how people are feeling by where they choose to place a stone." G o g i v e s you opportunities to find out how your mind works. I'm detail-oriented--! miss the broader picture," Steen said. Notarianni called Go a "psychological pressure game," and spoke of the need tosustain concentration and energy for a long time. An average game lasts about two hours. However,Japanese masters may play the same game for months. "Masters can recreate whole games frommemory. That is how they teach students," said Karin Lee, another member. Lee said she likes the mental involvement and the tactile sensations of Go. "Go is not just cerebraL.it is a sensualexperience too. The stones are extremely smooth and feel nice." Lee said although she is "not a war-oriented person," she enjoys Go's war-like stategies. "The object is to secure territory and the board isan actual battlefield," Lee said. Go began in China 5,000 years ago. Generals and kings played it tosharpen strategic battle skills. Eventually the Japanese aristocracy picked up the game and elevated itto a fine art, adding philosophy and creating the idea of winning without killing. Their aim was toconquer empty space. Notarianni said he has difficulty convincing students of the game's simplicity."People think you have to be really bright to play. You don't, it is easy to learn," he said. Most clubmembers previously played chess. They said Go is more interesting and requires more thought.Steen summed up the feelings of the players: "There is just something about Go...you really getinvolved." The Go Ban group meets every Friday at noon in Viking Union 219 and welcomes newmembers. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 4 ---------- 4 ACCENT Top air bands to vie for lip-sync crown By Jeremy Meyer staff reporter So you want to be arock'n 'roll star Well listen, son, and you'll go far Just get an electric giiitar, and take some time to leanthow to play â€”Tlie Byrds The Byrds described how to become a rock'n'roll star in the '60s, but in the'80s another way to become a rocker is to imitate one. Tonight at 8:30, as many as 17 bands will dojust that in the sixth annual Western Jam at the Viking Union. Each year since 1982, students from thedorms and off campus practice to perfect the onstage antics of their favorite musicians. They lip-synclyrics, dress up like the musicians and choreograph dance routines, to entertain the audience andimpress the judges. "This year we've really upped the prize money," said Jam coordinator TonyTrofimczuk. rrn Tâ€”r -Ua_I "You have to be crazy not to dig that reggae beat." This seems to be thetheme behind Almighty Dread, a Bellingham-based reggae band expanding its musical sound andscope. Almighty Dread was started about two years ago by vocalist Andy Oliver and bassist GaryHayden. The band was elastic at f i r s t with many different musicians accompanying Oliver andHayden. After a year, the two leaders found the talent they needed. The current version of the Dreadincludes lead guitarist John Hendow, keyboardist Paul Turpin, and drummer Dalton Davis. Haydensaid the band's music is upbeat, and many rock musicians find it backwards. Oliver said the rhythms in the Dread's music are difficult to i ' i ' i _ rrr play, requiring a precision not usually required by rock."Persistence pays off," Oliver said. "Many bars wouldn't let us play because it wasn't rock'n'roll, orbecause reggae groups smoke marijuana, but now gigs come to us." Almighty Dread is adding newdimensions to its previously reggae sound. The group has added a new brass section and apercussionist to create more of a calypso sound. "We hope to do about half reggae and half calypso inthe near future," Oliver said. The band also has utilized the gifted songwriting talents of Oliver andHayden. At a concert in the Fairhaven Lounge last Saturday, the Dread introduced "Tell Me," a brilliantlyarranged reggae ballad utilizing the band's new talent. Hayden said he's never heard of a songwritingteam that writes music quite like he and Oliver do. The best example of their songwriting is a songcalled "Prisoner of Love." "I played the opening riff to the 'Dragnet' TV show and Andy "Last year it was$125 for first place, this year it's $200," he said. Nash hall has sponsored the event since its beginning,Trofimczuk said, and contestants from Nash have won five out of the six years. "Last year thecontroversy was (that) all the judges lived, or were living in Nash Hall, but this year we're trying to getaway from judges 4 affiliated with the residence halls," Trofimczuk said. Randy Hurlow, resident dire etc and a member of Nash's entry, Devo, said the controversy shouldn't be blamed on the judc Nashalways wins, he said, be; cause the dorm gets more motivated for the competitioi the other halls."(Nash) spends more tir than the other halls," Hurlo Nash starts preparing 4 event earlier, so people InA iSE1 i â€¢ T ~ T ifr1 JS1 TÂ±T E?

Jennifer Stott, who is involved incoordinating the judging, said the controversy changed the way she chose the judges. "It does soundsuspicious, that's why I'm getting the students away from the judging." Trof imczuk said two of thejudges will be experienced judges from The Blue Max, a local bar that holds lip-sync contests similar toWestern Jam. Improved judging will produce a better show, he said. "With our efforts to get unbiasedjudges, it's going to be a lot fairer for these other bands. I think the best band will win." Entries includeDevo, Janet Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, The Steve Miller Band, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran,Spinal Tap, AC/DC and The Mup-pets. A few of the groups were formed by members of last year's Jam.Some Duran Duran members were in last year's Power Station, and some Bon Jovi members are fromthe reigning champs, Y T. Hurlow said the secret to winning is using a current song the audience isfamiliar with. Combine that with good costumes, and special effects and you could take home the $200,he said. Chris Toney, a member of Bon Jovi and veteran Jammer from '85's Autograph said, "We plan to put on a good clean show." He said the key to success is not making any mistakes and mouthing thewords correctly. "We're going to have a good time," Toney added. The criteria forjudging will be: lip-sync ability, showmanship, audience response and stage effects. Some of the rules include using no realmusical instruments, no strobe lights or quick-flashing lights, no pyrotechnic devices, no sociallyunacceptable behavior or lyrics, and no one under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Western Jamkicks off Parent's Weekend at Western and Jam promoters believe parents will enjoy the show."lt givesthe parents an opportunity to see what type of activities students can be involved in," Trofimczuk said."It's special because it's the best of each hall. It's not going to be some sloppy performance up there. It's going to be good." Maybe one of the bands should imitate The Byrds' song, "So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star," and change the lyrics to~ Soyou want to act like a rock'n'roll star Well, lip-sync son,and you'll go far Just get a cardboard guitar, and take some time to fake how to play W*-, ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 6 ---------- 6 ACCENT FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 Sellingham grag/ucs Later Grafj/ycy * Typf-Aclltng Krausi-Ciimmcrcial Center Broadway Dupnnl : i 0 3 Elm St., llellinBham, H'A 9S225 (2061676-2J22 Macintosh Rentals LaserWriter Plusâ„¢ Total Resume Service Composing / Rewriting Editing /Typesetting Weoffer a complete Macintosh rental and support service, able to accomodate single-sided or double-sideddiskette formats.

You can break up your band, vowing you "shan't worktogether again," and either study philosophy or do a lot of drugs, maybe nod for a few years. The thingis, when you run out of money, you can always come "out of retirement." Reunion gigs are very much invogue right now; Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and possibly the original members of KISS arejust a few of the many cashing in on nostalgia lately. râ€”Am usei*1 JoTOVttH Sunday FAMILY DAYAll day 'Parents accompanied by children Monday HAPPY HOUR 5pm to 7pm *AII customers TuesdayAFTER SCHOOL 3:30pm to 5pm *AII customers Wednesday LADIES DAY All day * Ladies, any aseThursday HAPPY HOUR 5pm to 7pm *AII customers Friday COUPLES NIGHT After 6pm *Womenaccompanied by men Saturday EARLY BIRD Before noon "All customers 111 N.

Card and receive two free games So what better for the woman who has (and hasdone) everything but a nice reunion album? And what's this--a concept album to boot?! "Maggots: TheRecord," the ninth anniversary album from wonderful Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics is possiblythe most bizarre piece of vinyl of all time.' The very concept of a Plasmatics reunion seems strange.Brilliantly managed throughout their career by mastermind Rod Swenson, the Plasmatics became asymbol of contradiction to what was happening in music in the late 70s. The glam and shock rock thinghad long since peaked-Alice was studying philosophy, the Dolls were dead and KISS had gotten too bigfor its own good, doing Colorforms and "Kids Are People, Too" by the time the Plasmatics splashed ontothe scene. Wendy, with her whipped cream, black electrical-taped teats and mohawk, was dangerously unsettling when the Plasmatics were making their loudest noises, and they got a lot of attention for it.But they were never very popular.. There is a built-in popularity ceiling on a band whose male guitarplayer wears a tutu and whose female singer destroys televisions with a sledgehammer. Wendy alwayswas militantly obsessed with world domination through music, but the band never really gathered morethan a cult following, however dedicated. Thus, a reunion album seems odd. Actually, odd is a verydiluted term. "Maggots: The Record" is completely bent. It is only slightly more than half music; the other half is' composed of an audio theater work interspersed throughout the album. The setting is 2013, and a scientific accident has resulted in the formation of mutant maggots that eventually take over the worldby devouring all mankind. The drama profiles several characters whose lives are cut short by untimelyvisits from the maggots. A standout performance is turned in by Suzanne Bedford as Valerie, who isgobbled up by a bedfull of maggots the size of large knack-wursts. Valerie's only dialogue is a telephoneconversation with her boyfriend, television newscaster Bruce Maltin (Tony Marzocco), but she certainly deserves an academy award (or would it be a grammy?) for her dying scene. Bedford actually sounds as if she is being eaten alive by french bread-sized maggots--a truly inspiring performance. Scott Harlanalso is quite good as Joe White. Joe is the head of the White family, which is sequentially devoured by maggots three to four feet long and nearly seven inches in diameter. And James Gerth is excellent asthe Serlingesque narrator, calmly announcing the lives and deaths of the "Maggots" cast. Even with all the excitement generated by the feasting maggots, the music on this album is impossible to ignore.The band is actually a cross between original Plasmatics and Wendy's solo band, W.O.W. The newgroup consists of: Wes Beech (Plasmatics) on rhythm guitar, Chris' "Junior" Romanelli (Plasmatics) onbass, Ray Callahan (W.O.W.) on drums and Michael Ray (W.O.W.) on lead guitar. Swenson also has returned to manage and produce the band, along with Beech, and also did most of the writing of the newmaterial, with Ray. The production on the record sounds like that of Wendy's latest solo effort, last year's "Kommander of Kaos." The sound is muddy and bassy, with the drums pushing woofers to distortionand burying the vocals. All in all, the production is very bad and quite annoying, but seems to fit withthe feeling of doom of the record. Production aside, "Maggots" is a heavy metal rock album in the finesttradition of the Plasmatics. Throughout the band's career it was tagged punk rock because of vocals andhaircuts, but was always a metal band, with a twist all its own. "Maggots" is no different. The musichas a certain sinister tone, reminiscent of 1980's "Coup d'etat." However, the breaks and the timechanges on "Maggots" are absolutely beyond; defying all rules of musical sense, keeping listenersconstantly on their toes and on edge. Songs like "You're a Zombie" and "The Day of the Humans isGone" represent a most bizarre sense of musical structure-very non-conventional arrangement that mostcertainly comes from hours of trying very hard to produce something fundamentally different. A furiousdouble-bass gallop with Wendy screaming over it will suddenly drop out to nothing but a sleazy guitargrind and Wendy kind of muttering underneath: "(Now) you're a zombie, honey, we done consumed yourbrain/ Can you tell the difference, or do you feel the same?/ Now you're a fascist robot, just like you werebefore/ We can press your buttons and have a robot war." And back into the gallop. The dominantmusical voices on the album are Wendy and Ray, who take turns battling the sea of mud that is therhythm element of the album. Wendy O. Williams simply has the toughest voice in rock 'n' roll, gender be damned. Wendy's vocals sound as though they are being run through a paper shredder-coarse, rough,ultimately harsh. To maintain that level of vocal intensity for as long as she has is incredible, a tribute toher stamina as a performer. I mean, this woman is more than 40 years old, and she sounds (not tomention looks) like she's 20. The searing lead guitar of Michael Ray also is a brilliant attribute of"Maggots," and his exposure through the project will surely bring Ray the acclaim he deserves as agreat guitarist. The album's six songs center around the general theme of the universal decadence andthe subsequent demise of the human race. The outlook is extremely negativeâ€”the listener isblanketed by an overwhelming sense of doom that is conveyed very effectively through the music andlyrics. In all, "Maggots: The Record" is 40 minutes of audio revolution. The Plasmatics have succeededin carrying on in their own tradition of defiance of the norm. Despite the project's innate and obviousrepelling nature, it is destined to be commercially recognized, if not prominent, because it is simply toogood to be ignored. I can't wait for the video. ---------- Western Front - 1987 April 24 - ACCENT, page 7 ---------- FRIDAY, APRIL 24,1987 ACCENT 7 Bassist jazzes up Mama Sundays tonight By Tore Slette' staffreporter The time is 1977 and the place is the Monterey Jazzfest. A young bassist stands before a crowd of 7,000 and opens the festival with a riveting, intense. solo. The young man was David Friesen andsince the mid 70s he has played at many large festivals around the world. This evening Bellingham jazzconnoisseurs can experience one of his excellent performances when Mama Sundays brings The DavidFriesen Ensemble to Western. Friesen is joined on stage by percussionist Alan Jones and saxaphonistPhil Dwyer. "Phil Dwyer is an excellent musician, he's just incredible," Friesen said, from his home inPortland, Ore. "He's from Canada and right now.he has coast-to-coast recognition up there. I can't say enough good things about him. It's a pleasure to be on stage with him." DAVID FRIESEN At tonight'sshow Friesen will play music from previous albums plus some new material. The new stuff will appear ona forthcoming album called "Inner Voices," which will be released on May 4th. "Inner Voices" is recordedon Global Pacific Records and distributed by CBS Records. Herb Wong, critic for Jazz Times Magazineand former Western faculty member, said Friesen's music "is founded on integrity and the pursuit ofexcellence." Although Friesen has charmed audiences in all parts of the world, including the USSR, he'snever played the famous Montreux International Jazz Festival, held every summer in Switzerland. ButFriesen said that's about to change. "This summer Paul Horn and I are going to Montreux to play. Paulplays flute on the 'Inner Voices' album with me." The David Friesen Ensemble performs at 8 p.m. in theViking Union Coffee Shop. Admission is free.Childcare is provided and refreshments will be served.Burton delivers good vibes By Carole Wiedmeyer â€” â€” â€¢ â€” â€” â€” _ _ - â€” â€” â€” - staff reporterJazz musician Gary Burton will wrap up his teaching schedule at Berklee College of Music in Bostonbefore starting a northwest tour at Western Tuesday. The Gary Burton Group, presented by theNorthwest Concert Association, will play its blend of jazz and rock at 8 p.m. Tuesday in the PerformingArts Center. Featuring Burton on vibraphone, the group also includes Makoto Ozone at the piano, Tommy Smith on saxophone, Martin Richards on drums andGildas Bode on electric bass guitar. Steve Swallow,Burton's bass player since the '60s, will not be part of the tour. Burton's agent said she was unsure ofSwallow's status with the group. The vibraphone, also known as the vibraharp or vibes, belongs to thesame family of instruments as the xylophone. Burton has been named Best Vibest by Downbeatmagazine every year since 1968. Chuck Israels, Western's director of jazz studies, worked with Burtonin the '60s, cutting a record with him on RCA in 1963. Israels said the group's technical ability is"amazing," and gave special credit to "brilliant" pianist Ozone. Ozone is a former Berklee student, andhas recorded solo as well as with the Burton group. Burton also has recorded with prominent jazzmusicians Chick Corea, Stephane Grapelli, Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny and Larry Coryell. Tuesday'sconcert is the final performance in a series of three sponsored since fall by the Northwest ConcertAssociation. The local non-profit group works to bring a broad range of performances at affordableprices to Whatcom County, said Ellen Vaughn, publicity coordinator. Previous events were sold-out, shesaid. Tickets are $10 general, $6 for seniors and students, and are available at Box Office Northwest inthe Bellingham Mall. Parking will be reserved near the PAC, Vaughn said. For more information, call 734-7200. Burton also will appear at the Backstage in Seattle Wednesday. Back: Makoto Ozone, MartinRichards Front: Tommy Smith, Gary Burton, Gildas Bode By Jeff Kuehn staff reporter The photographiccomposites in "Structured Vision; Collage and Sequential Photography," a new exhibit at theWhatcom Museum of History and Art, are entertaining and skillfull examples of photography as an artform. Photography captures reality, but in this exhibit it is used to manipulate viewers toward thephotographer's perspective. No photographs stand alone in this exhibit. All are arranged into collagesand sequences, which fall into three basic categories: linear series, arrays, and grids. Dozens of artistsare represented in this show. Most have received world-wide recognition for their work in photography.Composite photographic manipulation dates back almost as far as photography itself. In 1843Antoine Claudet attempted to capture London using close-up photographs arranged in proper relation to each other. In 1877 Eadweard Muybridges attempted to gain the same effect with his well-knownseries "San Francisco from California Street." Photographic collages developed from Cubist Movement,and attempt to create the illusion of movement in a still medium. However, this exhibit entails more than an attempt to capture motion in still photographs. Daniel Baboir's hand-colored montages present viewsof cultural conflict. Black-and-white narratives by John Schlesinger are enigmatic and disquieting.Duane Michals and Gregory A. Mac- Gregor offer whimsical narratives such as "The Bogeyman" and"Backyard Safety Demonstration." David McGlynn's "Boat, Cape Cod " and "Brooklyn Bridge" presentgridded panoramas. Some of the most interesting and enjoyable pieces in this exhibit are KarenRiedener's three-dimensional time sequences such as "People Crossing Park Ave.," which presentsthe viewer with a three-dimensional, frontal view of foot traffic in New York. This is one of the mostexciting and entertaining shows to come to Bellingham for quite some time and it would be a shamefor anyone interested in photography, or art, to miss it. "Structured Visions" will be at the WhatcomMuseum of History and Art, 121 Prospect St. in downtown Bellingham, until May 10.

T. A. INSTITUTE OPENS HERE NEXT TUESDAY ;.„ J Poll Reveals Majority WWC Students Against Teacher Strike At the annual convention of the National Education Association held in .Cincinnati recently, a resolution against strikes was adopted. The N.E.A. believes that the strike is "an unsatisfactory method of solving professional problems;" however, it deplores the conditions which have caused teachers to strike. Furthermore, the N.E.A. urges teachers, and others within the profession, to assume more of the responsibility for the removal of those conditions. •Your WWCoilegian in a poll conducted'this week finds a majority of the students at WWC supporting this stand of the N.E.A. . A s a representative sampling of the student body, 115 students were polled in the survey which asked: "SHOULD TEACHERS BE ALLOWED TO USE THE STRIKE AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SETTLING WAGE AGREEMENTS" • - Yes ...J .....52 • -No'....-...„ 58 No Opinion 5 Nearly all of those participating in the poll -would have qualified, their answers. .Replies such as, "I think they, should be allowed to strike,' but, I don't think they should strike." "They should have the same-rights as any other American.". "It depends on the conditions in the school district," were voiced over und over. One student in voting "NO" stated, "Teachers should not be allowed to strike. They have a moral responsibility to the youngsters of our country." Another student, with nearly twenty years of teaching experience, said, "They most certainly should be allowed to strike. The work of the Bremerton group last year helped all of us." The general consensus of opinion was that teachers should be allowed to strike, but they shouM use. other means of settling their problems. Terpsichorean Fascinates Large, Appreciative Student Audience Dancing with an ease and grace acquired only through long hours of practice, Miss Mary Tiffany entertained an appreciative group of students and visitors in the auditorium this morning. Acting as her own choreographer, and showing an innate sense of humor as well as dramatic ability in all of her modern dances, Miss Tiffany, presented an hour of the most delightful entertainment witnessed here this summer. Miss Tiffany has had training at the Pasadena Playhouse in California, and the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. In addition, she -jf Dateline . . . Saturday, July 2ft—Viqueen lodge picnic.

Noted Violinist To Appear Next Week Mr. Harry Adaskin, violinist, is to present a program of music to the students of WWCE this coming Tuesday in^assembly at 10 a. m. A Canadian violinist from Vancouver, he has played before large audiences in both Canada and the United States. Prances Marr is the piano accompanist to Mr. Adaskin. The New York Times says: "Mr. Adaskin is unquestionably a fine violinist with ample technical skill." His program should be one of interest to all WWC students. Prexy Travels President W. W. Haggard and Dr. Merle P. Kuder, registrar, drove to Olympia Thursday morning to attend the two-day annual meeting of the State Board of Education and the State Board of Vocational Education. Evening Songfest Climaxes First Term Recreation Approximately 75 g o u r m a n ds feasted on weiners and potato salad Wednesday evening as their end-of- the-first-term celebration. The weiner roast was held in the picturesque setting atop Sunset heights with its view of the bay and islands. The picnic, under sponsorship of the recreation department was the last event planned for the first term. As a fitting conclusion to the outing Dr. Keith A. Murray, of the Social Science department, lead the picnickers in group singing. Van Aver Back With Degree Resuming his position with the English department after a year's leave of absence, Dr. Albert Van Aver contends that graduate study today presents more pressing problems than mere work and study, the least of which isn't housing. Dr. Van Aver and his family found it next to impossible to obtain living quarters in Cincinnati, and the few places which were available were almost-"untenantable*. Needless "to say, the Van Aver's are glad to be back in Bellingham and their home. Dr. Van Aver received the doctor of philosophy degree at the University of Cincinnati in June. Local Artist Sings Entertaining the s t u d e n t s of WWCE with an extensive repetoire of songs was Miss. Hortense Harrington, dramatic soprano and a native of Bellingham. Her program included several folk songs of different countries sung in their native language and dramatically presented to ihe audience. Other numbers were classical selections from Brahms, Rachmaninoff, an operatic number from Wagner's "Tannhauser" and several other pieces. She was accompanied by Miss Edith Strange at the piano. Hannegan Pass, Sea Cruise Beckon Outdoor Enthusiasts The second .part of the summer recreation program opens with two activities designed to attract not only the rugged, but also those who like to take life with less exertion. Tomorrow's event is another boat trip, this time to Sinclair Island, where the college maintains Viqueen Lodge, a beautiful cabin in its, natural setting, for the enjoyment of college students. Facilities for picnicking, swimming, sunbathing, and fishing are excellent. There are also several short, well marked hiking trails. Sinclair trippers will board the V. M. Osage at Quackenbush dock Saturday morning. Departure time is 7:00 a. m. The Osage will leave the party at about 9:30 and return again at 4:00 p. m. for the voyage home. The college will, furnish coffee, but picnickers must take their own lunches. HANNEGAN PASS HIKE An overnight hike to Hannegan Pass is the other, and longer, feature of this week-end. Hikers will leave the PE building at 7:45 Saturday morning for the drive up to the trail where the hike will begin. The hike to the camping grounds is between four and five miles, so hikers are advised to take along a light lunch to eat on the trail. Arrangements have been made to pack all food and equipment to the camp site, but each person should be responsible for personal articles, clothing, and sun glasses. Those who are going are advised to check the Yodeler for details. Saturday night, camp will be made near Hannegan Pass, a location of unsurpassed beauty. The rugged peaks and ranges provide a perfect alpine background for the camp site.. Among the attractions is the mountain heather, which thrives in this area. Early Sunday morning, a part of the group will climb Ruth Mountain, a short, but brisk climb, and one with a beautiful view to reward the climber. All hikers will return Sunday evening. Married Studes Picnic Sunday The Students' Wives club will sponsor a picnic for married students of WWC and their families at Whatcom Falls Park Sunday afternoon, July 27. Picnickers are advised to pack a Sunday dinner. Coffee will be provided. Shuffleboard," tennis and croquet equipment will be provided for adults, and playground facilities will be available to the children. A lifeguard will be on duty at the swimming pool. Those without transportation may catch the Silver Beach bus, which runs directly by the park, at the corner of Garden and Holly. Site Of Forthcoming P.-T. A Institute Final preparations were being made this week for the Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers Institute which opens a three day meet here next Tuesday. Mrs. Gus Keehn, state elementary service chairman, will act as general chairman of the institute. She will be assisted by Mrs. J. W. Bingham, representative, National Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. George Crampton, president, Washington Congress of Parents and Teachers; Mrs. W. B. Nattrass, president, Bellingham Council P.T.A., and others. Afl WWC students are invited to attend as many - of the sessions as possible. Most of the sessions will be held in the auditorium of the Campus school. ---------- WWCollegian - 1947 July 25 - Page 2 ---------- Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Washington Friday, July 25, 1947 Established 1899 Member Associated Gofletfate Press Published every Friday, except the month of September by the Associated Students, Wastern Washington College of Education, Bellingham, Wash.

Last week's WWCollegian carried a press release comparing the average school teacher's salary in the state of Washington with those of teachers in other states. It pointed out the great financial gains made in the past year by Washington school teachers, and concluded by stating that the new increases represent a 92% gain over the 1942 average. . We in the field of education are PROUD of those gains, and rightly so, for they represent no little effort on the part of all of us to better conditions in our profession. However, before anyone starts pointing out the new "happy" state of Washington's school teachers, they must realize that the comparison was made WITHIN THE TEACHING PROFESSION. To obtain a clearer, truer picture of the situation, the release would have done well to have include a few figures such as these: Bricklayers *$2.10W per hour Carpenters I.SWi " " Electricians 2J0OVi " " Painters... !J0% " " Plasterers 2.Wz " " Plumbers 2.20 " " * As of February 15, 1947, at Seattle, Washington. Figures from Table 8, page 620, MONTHLY LABOR REVIEW, April, 1947. RUBBER DOLLARS? If the married veterans in attendance at WWC have been following the progress of the "subsistence bill" now before the Senate with more than the usual amount of interest, they have a good reason to do so A $15.00 a month increase now would be like money from home. ft wouldn't be so bad if prices were at the 1941 level, but to try and stretch $90 over 31 days is next to impossible now-a-days. By comparing the average retail prices of foods in 56 large cities onFebruary 15, 1947, with the prices prevailing on January 15, 1941, vou can readily see why your $90 disappears with such rapidity.

MOBLO With the arrest of Billie Holiday recently comes the bitter barb in the side of all professional musicians— the Dope Charge. Time and time again we hear the old saying that a good musician can't survive without his side kick, Mother Marijuana. The Big Names in the music racket have a large following of junior size fans, and- realizing that they are idealized by these kids most band leaders take special precaution to stay away from the stuff. Our position as educators should be that of debunking any ideas the kids may have that to play well a musician must be drunk or on a Tea-Kick. When performers like Billie, or Gene Krupa of a few years back, lower themselves to take dope, it is high time they were marked off the eligible list for public consumption. Such fine musicians as Ellington, Miller, the Dorsey boys, etc., have presented a terrific type of jazz, without any help from the "hemp." This all adds up that the dope who takes dope is just a fair musician with big-time ideas and and small-time talent. More and more name musicians and band leaders have swapped the placid podium for the platter parade. Kate Smith, Paul Whiteman and T. Dorsey are the latest hipsters who have left the stage for steady jobs as Disk-Jockies. What with this current trend we might expect to hear the voice of A. Toscanini on the networks jovially cooing, "and now Tod and Verklarung going to the Black Dahlia from Red—etc., etc." Record of the Week: An amusing number by Jerry Colona "Cow Pasture Polka (lift your feet, lift your feet." Composer Roy Harris has published iiis newest musical monstrosity— Concerto for Accordian and Orchestra, which was broadcast last month. If this number doesn't put the Squeeze Box back in the hay loft it won't be the fault of Herr Roy. "Hand me my Jaw Harp ma, I crave to be an artist." It was announced that someone dug up the rest of a Rachmaninoff First Symphony in the rubble of Moscow the other day. It seems that after the first performance of said work Rachmaninoff was so dismayed DELIGHT HER WITH A DIAMOND WEISFIELD GOLDBERG FOR THAT SUN-PROOF SKIN Use Star-lite Cream Lotion Let's You Tan — Helps Prevent Painful Blistering and Peeling • POLOROID AND COOLRAY Sun Glasses Cuts Glare — Protects Your Eyes • COOLING Foot Powders For Burning, Aching Feet and Athlete's Foot • STAR Drug Co. State and Holly Phone 224 Mosquitoes, Nettles, Sunburns Plague Sucia Trippers By NITA CLOTHIER Yeah—such a time! Did you read about Sucia on the back page? It says we relaxed! And returned with suntans! Pardon me while I scratch. I've been so nettled by nettles, and straffed by mosquito buzz bombers that I can't sit still. And that peel-that he went home and tore up the score. Many times afterward he tried to reconstruct it but always with failure. If complete parts have been found we will soon hear a posthumous Rachmaninoff symphony. The lowly trombone, about which pointed remarks have been made since its birth, may soon become a concert instrument. Anyway so the Russians think. Concerto Duets for Two Trombones has been published by a teacher in the Moscow Conservatory. Could this have any bearing up on the Russian lack of cooperation? Tuesday's assembly was one of the best musical assemblies I have ever attended. Miss Harrington succeeded in presenting a program that was thoroughly enjoyable. The German numbers were especially well done. Both, Come Sweet Death, in a mellow voice full of great feeling and beautiful phrasing, and the aria from Tannhauser were sung in a way that would make the best music critics sit up and take notice. I Hate Music, a very modern number by the composer, conductor, pianist Leonard Bernstien, was an amusing little piece consisting of five songs written in the medium of a small child. The Wandering tonal patters peculiar to the non-melodious modern music require a good amount of skill in voice control and tonal precision. It was truly excellent interpretation of a difficult piece. Miss Harrington's excellent choice of program material proves that she is not only a true artist but a philanthropist as well. ing sunburn on my back doesnt ease matters. But let's go back: "Come on," my roommate Ellie urged me. "Well spend a wonderfully relaxing weekend on the beautiful misty isle of Sucia—nothin' but lotus eating, lounging, a n d swimming in the beautiful sea that ebbs and flows there. Then—then," she says, "We can really start studying for the finals." "Ank, ank! I'm laughing yet. We each had strained a muscle by the time we'd hitch-hiked our way to Citizens' dock. (Ellie had sold Ruthe Wilder with the same sales talk.) What with knapsacks, paper sacks, sleeping sacks, and week-end sacks (bags to you, but sacks works in better), you'd have strained a muscle too. But gee-whiz, a girl really has to have all her lipsticks, sun tan oils, changes of clothes, and so forth when she goes on a two-day camping trip. Anybody knows that. And students that we are, we had to take a collection of books—any student knows that. Anticipating four hours on the high seas with no food, of course we had to take a lunch. So Ellie loaded down-with lunch, Ruthe with sacks, and me with the three sleeping bags, we hit the road at 1000 (sea-going for the time) Saturday morning. Arriving at last at Sucia and after chow, served by Mr. Kfear-sey and Mr. MacDonald, Happy Fisher consented to guide a group on a little walk across the island. You might call ft a "little" walk if you don't care what you say. Amid bee and nettle stings, sunburn and scratches, there's nothing like a "little" walk with Hap Fisher. Around campfire that evening, Mr. Mac had to lead us in "Goodnight Ladies" four times befdrt we took thehint and[toddled :;offlH»*the sacks. "Sweet dreams," they said. Sweet dreams, yeah, if you could get in any dream time at all. B-z-z-t.

The Yak (Bos grunniens) inhabits the Tibetan plateau. Being a member of the ox family, it is relatively simple to tell him apart from the other inhabitants. Yaks afford the only means of transportation along the Indus River between Ladak and India. Economists have been wondering for some time how they afford it. Some say it could happen only under a single-tax program, others give the credit to Capitalism. The .French won't believe it and the Russians have vetoed the whole thing. The Yak, of course, goes right on transporting and doesn't give it another thought. Most people know more about Yaks than they will admit. The Yak crops up quite often in our daily conversation. For example, as a means of cynical laughter people often chant, "yak, yak." In Minnesota the Yak is a mythical character from local folklore. One of the first poems children from that part of the country learn is: Yak be nimble, Yak be quick, Yak jump over the candlestick. The Yak is entirely unaware of his influence. Though the Yak looks somewhat like a well fed dust mop, he doesnt •like to be pushed around. The amount of effort it would take to push one around wouldn't be worth it, anyway. And besides, who wants to be a professional Yak pusher? A Yak is black. Which, besides being assonant, makes it easier for him to get around at night without being spotted. Some of them, however, are spotted—these are the black and white Yaks. Being spotted, they are quickly caught and domesticated. Once domesticated they start affording transportation and the economists become more confused. Yak's are like that. Now we're back where we started from. To find the area of this vicious circle, substitute Yak for Pi and proceed accordingly. Engaged Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Peaster, to Mr. Robert O.

Most G.I.'s that are attending schools of higher learning have forgotten a good share of the things that are taken for granted by the instructors. Their reason for forgetting can be well explained. They have been out of school anywhere from one to ten or more years. In that time such things as English, math, and so on have been forgotten, except the simplest forms in everyday use. I don't believe we should be expected to know as much as a person who has had no or little delay in education. In some instances it may appear as though we G.I. students at times do not know the usual rules and methods. It is in most cases not a lack of learning on our part, but a temporary forgetting which a little review could bring back to us. That is where my gripe comes in. . Some, of the. instructors don't wait to see who needs review. They take up the subject from where it was dropped in high school. It just isn't fair to the G.L who hasn't been to school for a good many years. A midnight-oil burning G.I.

Several students returned with new tans to attest the fine weather. Sailing time was about four hours each way. Smooth water made veteran water travelers of all the party as not a single case of sea sickness developed. Activities on the island ranged from exploring to just plain loafing.

In threesimilar speeches (one to the faculty,- one to the board of trustees and one to the students) Flora saidthe state is trying to balance its budget for the 69-71 biennium. Western's actual number of full-fee-paying students now stands at 9,244. That number is 326 students under the budgeted enrollment which means Western will have to return possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars to the state Flora said. Headded that under normal economic conditions in the past, returning money was never required whenWestern didn't fill student enrollment projections. , The real crisis will be operating in the 71-73 bienniumFlora said. According to Flora the state is faced with a depression, not a recession. As a result Western is faced with cutbacks of possibly millions of dollars. For that reason Flora has set up two commissions which he said will be the "most hated groups on campus if they do a good job." The two commissions,headed by Dr. Frederick Sargent, college provost, have the assigned task of making suggestions forcutting costs of operating this institution. The first commission will focus on instructional costs whichamount to about 65 per cent of the total costs. Flora said he didn't think faculty manpower reductionswill be necessary but that they could occur. The second commission is charged with makingsuggestions for reducing o p e r a t i o n costs, including administration costs and associated studentsbudget. Analogizing on the enormous size of the needed cost cutbacks, Flora said, "We're not justdraining off fat, we're talking about cutting some meat, we just hope we don't cut bone." When asked ifthere will be any students on these commissions Flora said, "I've delayed actually considering that untilthere is a student government I can turn to." Flora contends that these commissions could be thestimulus needed to improve Western's educational system. Joe Nusbaum, college business manager,accompanied and aided Flora in his "speech tour." Nusbaum explained with charts that college costskeep going up faster than college income. He also said the political scene doesn't give Boeing'simmediate future too much to look forward to. The word "Boeing" seemed to keep popping into the threespeeches, which lead to the question "Do you think it's a good idea for the college and the state todepend on one industry, namely Boeing?" Flora replied quickly, "No sir, I don't." Young Demos By JIMAUSTIN The students of Washington have the opportunity to work for social change within a recognizedpolitical organization, according to Young Democrats (YD) President Charlene Miller. The local chapterwill meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow to plan campaign activities for the coming election, in VU .360 "TheYoung Democrats are the third most influential political organization in the state," Miss Miller said. Sheadded that the student organization's influence is surpassed only by that of the State Democratic andRepublican parties. Western's YD's will hit the election trail Saturday with a door-to-door . campaign forthe election of Dan Van Dyk to the State Legislature. Van Dyk will face incumbent GOP Legislator Fred Veroske in the Nov. 3 general election. Another major goal of the group is the passage of House JointResolution 6 (Vote 19). "Just because the President signed Congressional legislation extending the voteto 18 year olds doesn't mean the Supreme Court will uphold the constitutionality of the bill," Miss Millersaid. She also is Whatcom County coordinator for Vote 19. The State Democratic Party adopted ayouth-oriented platform in Spokane last( summer, proposing a m n e s t y for anti-war demonstrators and those who refuse induction and endorsing the Hat field-McGovern Amendment. The senate amendmentto the 1970 military appropriations bill, co-sponsored by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.) and Sen. GeorgeMcGovern (D-S.D.), called for the complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Indochina by June 1971. Theamendment was voted down by the Senate during the summer. Kids Klean up County The WhatcomCounty landscape looks a little greener today, following a county-wide children's clean-up contest thatnetted a staggering 124,000 bottles and cans. Sponsored by supporters of Initiative 256 (seeking to banall non-returnable bottles and cans), the contest made three enterprising children $50 richer. Prizeswere awarded for the most containers collected by the child in each of three age groups-6-9, 10-12 and13-15. A group prize of $50 was given to the third grade class at Rolder Grade School. The cans andbottles were collected at four drop-off points in the Whatcom County area from noon to 3 p.m. Saturdayafternoon. Northwestern Glass in Seattle is buying the glass collected for $20 a ton, but the metalcontainers will have to be taken to the dump. "This is against our wishes," said Dave Miller, statechairman of Initiative 256. He explained that there is no local recycling company who will buy the metal. This reporter participated in the sorting and counting of containers at the Toad Hall location. Thefollowing is a bottle-by-bottle account of the day's activities: By JIM DIEDRICK 11:30 a.m.-Cans andbottles are streaming in ahead of schedule. I am advised to begin the endless job of counting and sorting into three main groupsâ€”non-returnable bottles, returnable bottles, and cans. The bottles are alsodivided according to colorâ€”brown, green and clear. 12:30 p. m.â€”Reinforcements from Fairhaven arrive to help with sorting. More contestants arrive with the number of bottles and cans pre-tallied on an entryblank supplied by the initiative sponsors. We are informed that the Lucky Lager distributors will pay 25cents a case for their bottles. Moans ripple through the crowd, contemplating the task of re-sorting. 1p.m.â€”A friendly lady in a blue pickup pulls up with 2,000 brightly-colored cans. She is asked to drive to the Union Printing Shop parking lot in downtown Bellingham and deposit them in a cage there. I ridealong, noticing on the way a billboard against Initiative 256. The argument is that its passage wouldcause unemployment and raise the costs of living. 1:15 p.m.â€”We arrive at the parking lot and dumpthe cans. On the cage, erected to publicize the litter problem, hangs a sign reading: "Bellinghamresidents throw away 20,000 cans and bottles a day." 1:30 p.m.-Back at Toad Hall, I notice a CBSnews crew setting up. One of the crewmen is sipping a can of beer. 2 p.m.â€”Pictures are taken, andthe sorting continues. Grey-haired men watch the confusion from Toad Hall, as the count reaches20,000. 2:30 p.m.-A YMCA bus rolls in, its yellow innards stuffed with bottles arid cans. 3 p.m.â€”Asomewhat disgusted woman, surveying the process, says: "It's the teenagers that throw these bottleson the road and the little kids get stuck with the dirty work." A curious man asks me what the hell isgoing on. I try to explain. He looks at the mountains of affluence and asks: "What will you do with them, dump them in the bay?" 3:30 p.m.-I help a mother count her child's collection, and ask the boy if hethinks he'll win a prize. "If we don't win at least we'll be doing something helpful," he says. I couldn'targue with that. Need Financial Aid? Financial aid doesn't grow on trees, neither is it set on aninaccessible pinnacle. Many avenues are open to students in need of financial assistance at Western. In all cases it is of paramount inportance for the student to investigate the various programs early and beprompt in submitting his application. Federal aid to education and federally-insured student loans arethe two major forms of financial assistance available to students, according to James Grant, assistantdirector of the financial aid office. Three programs come under federal aid to education: National DefenseStudent Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants, and College Work-Study. A needy student will beconsidered for a National Defense Student Loan if he is enrolled full-time, 12 credit hours for anundergraduate, seven for graduates. Determination of need is largely dependent on the parent'sconfidential financial statement. II his financial need is great enough and there are funds available, thestudent will get, on the average, a $500 loan. Interest rate for the National Defense Loan is set at a low 3 per cent per year. Repayment as well as interest rates do not begin until nine months after a studentends his studies. Repayment may be deferred up to three years if the student is in the armed services,Peace Corps, VISTA or involved in graduate studies. Educational Opportunity Grants are based onexceptional need as demonstrated by the parent's confidential statement. These grants are "gift aid" with no repayment required. Individual grants may range from $200 to $800 and are matched with otherfinancial aid such as loans, scholarships or guaranteed employment. Grant said many students havemisconceptions about the Work-Study program. "First of all, work-study students are pre-selected," hepointed out. This means that students can't, By RON GRAHAM just walk into the financial aid office inthe middle of Fall quarter and ask to get on the work-study program. Applications must be submitted bythe Winter quarter preceding the next school year in order to be considered for work-study. To remainon work-study a student must be enrolled full-time and maintain a 2.0 grade point average. Many typesof jobs come under the work-study program. The student union, the library, the computer center, themaintenance department and other campus agencies employ students under the work-study program.Jobs on campus can net a student between $300 and $600 a year while off campus positions generallyyield more. Any full-time student qualifies for a federally insured student loan which carries almost all the benefits of the National Defense, Student Loan. The interest rate is higher (7 per cent), and the banksare somewhat restrictive in handling the loan. . 0 . . . . . . ^ ^ , . v â€¢ % . - . . Â» .

No funds, are available for the emergencyloan. The Methodist loan is available only to full-time students who are members of the United Methodist Church. Western is scholarship-poor, according to Grant. Academic scholarships are available as one-year awards given to freshmen, transfer students or returning students in recognition of outstandingscholastic achievement. Other scholarships at Western are awarded on the basis of special abilities.These are granted on recommendation of the art, athletic, music, speech and drama departments.There are many other scholarships which are awarded by private institutions and businesses. Information on these and other student aid. sources can be obtained from the finanical aid office, Old Main 103. .Freshmen are less likely to get a loan their first quarter since the bank has no way of being sure thestudent will be in school. The nine-month repayment deferment and possible deferments due toemployment in the armed services, Peace Corps, VISTA or graduate study are the same as long as thestudent's family adjusted gross income is less than $15,000 a year. Outside of federal aid there areseveral other types of loans including Western's institutional student loan, the emergency loan and theUnited Methodist Student Loan Fund. Students in temporary need of funds to continue their educationcan apply for the institutional student loan. Completion of at least one quarter at Western along with full-time enrollment and good a c a d e m i c standing are pre-requisites. Institutional loans can amount to a maximum of $200 per quarter. A student may not get more than two in an academic year of two without repayment.

Over the summer these students formulated the ideaof an accredited course in community relations. They presented their plans to President Flora, got hisapproval and set to work creating Political Science 397b, a seminar in student, community andcontroversial issues. B e c a u s e of insufficient enrollment the class had to be cancelled. In order tokeep their idea alive, the students began the weekly rap sessions. This week members of the politicalscience department will address the session concerning legislative and political processes. As the group expands later in the quarter, it hopes to have members of the psychology department speak onstudents' frustrations from a psychological viewpoint. The student-initiated seminars are trying to reachthe community to dispel beliefs townspeople may h a v e about students and Please Bleed Western'ssecond annual blood-bank drive will be held Thursday from 10:30 to 12:30 p.m. in VU. 10.

The general citizenry is aware of the problems students are talking about. There ispresently an awakening by state legislators and local citizens to the problems and the feelings of theyouths of today. The committee will hold a panel discussion on the phenomena of student activism onWednesday, Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the American Legion Hall. Dr. Ronald DeLorme, associate professor of history, will moderate the student-community panel. Senator Frank Atwood will be a panelist.

Fly Navy IN Aviation Information Team Will Be Aboard EDENS HALLTuesday Oct. 22 # 9 a.m. until 3 By DEBBIE HUDSON "Well, fishing is our way of life and it is elean-tfoe other (industry) is dirty, If we do this and it fails, we can always go back, if we put ' industry in,, wecan't go back, so dra-w $ a pteffii.*' Such were the words of an old Lummi Indian as told by Dr.Wallace Heath at the Sea People's Mental Health Needs Help Passage of the Mental Health Clinicreferendum on Nov. 3 requires public education on the subject. Bob Marx, a member of Westernspsychology department and the campus counseling center, put out an urgent call for help last week inhopes of recruiting concerned students. Marx said that a meeting has been scheduled for today inLecture Hall Two from 4 to 6 p.m. The meeting will provide interested students with information about the present mental health clinic facilities and what might be accomplished by passage of the levy. "Theproject should serve as a great educational experience to any student who is interested in helping,"Marx said. Student who would like to help the clinic would be stationed at various points throughout thecounty for one day and pass out literature and answer questions. "Many people when they hear thewords 'mental health' think of insanity, but it covers much more. The whole field is changing rapidly," hesaid. Any student interested in more information can contact Marx in the counseling center. Geologists Strike Gold Hey science buffs, define this one: "Paleomagnetism and Magnetic Properties of Cordilieran Granitic Rocks." Give up? Well, the geology department recently received a National ScienceFoundation research grant of $16,100 for this mystery title. The research, under direction of Dr. Myrl E.Beck, Jr., will study fossils in granite to determine what ancient magnetic fields were like. In hisresearch, Beck will take cores of granite and bring them to his lab. With the use of sensitive equipment,he can tell what magnetic fields were like when the rocks first cooled. Through this type of research,Beck can even tell how much the magnetism of the North Pole has changed. The research will last atleast two years. Beck will restrict his study to the Pacific Northwest. food production seminar lastThursday. So in 1968 Heath, with a little help from his friends in government agencies, drew up a planfor the Lummi AquaGulture Project. The plan proposed that more than 2,500 acres of LmnfttiAquaculture Project. The plan proposed that more than 2,500 acres of Lummi tidelands could be dikedand then shellfish and trout grown in huge quantities in the ponds for commercial markets, with eachacre capable of yielding $4000 in oysters and fish per year. As of now gt; s m a l l er research-pondshave been built and construction on the' dikes of a 7 5 0 - a c r e pond is almost completed. Closelyinterwoven with H e a t h ' s facts about the aquaculture program was his assessment of the LummiIndians. "Tremendous teamwork has been a way of life for the Lummis for a long time. They built thistwice as fast as any professional firm could," he said. According to Heath, it was also the Lummis' longfamiliartiy with the sea and fishing that enabled them to build the dikes and other parts of the project sofast, so well and with less expense, while ignoring contrary predictions and advice from someconstruction engineers. "Engineers predicted 50 feet a day of dike construction and the Lummis weredoing over 100.feet a day," he said. "Heath related aquaculture programs to world problems. Heemphatically stated that aquafarms can not solve the population problem, but given a stable population,the programs can feed a lot of people that are in need of protein. Heath recognized that pollution is aproblem to aquaculture programs. "But let's play the game," he said. "If you can grow several millionpounds of food somewhere, then you are going to be able to turn off somebody's pollution." NewProgram Western recently began a graduate program in student personnel administration in highereducation. The program is geared to accomodate only 12 graduate students at a time, the entire course taking a consecutive four quarters. The goal is to prepare people to take beginning positions in studentpersonnel administration following graduation, according to Dr. Merle Kuder, professor of psychology ineducation and coordinator of the program. S t u d e n t p e r s o n n el administration includes everything from dean of students, director of student activities, to financial aids director, resident hall director andplacement office personnel. The program operates from two The practical side includes an internship instudent personnel with seminar sessions, intensive involvement with other student personneldepartments and participation in staff meetings. * " * " " ..â€”.... rntmiiiiiiwniiiiiMiiâ€”| 1321 CIIKWU 733-MII â€¢MHMIIIUIUIinuHmUHIIIIHmUHHIIMHIHMHtUtlMIMNR The theory half of the program involvesgetting a master of education degree.

Questions cheerfully accepted inVU 220. Gail Denton Special Elections Board Chairman Apathy and Hypocrisy By GLEN JONES Many students gripe about the education they receive at Western. They say that classes aren't relevant,teachers are a drag and students have no voice in the college system. Yet in the midst of all the bitching, it's ironic that a clear opportunity for student voice was almost completely ignored by students. Onceagain, attempts to put together a Student Advisory Committee in the English department have failed. Last Spring quarter thirteen people voted for student positions on the committee. This quarter twenty-six ofthe 600-plus English and journalism majors even bothered to vote. By doubling the vote at this rate, it willbe February of '72 before anything is done. The 18 positions for nomination on the advisory committeewere well filled by majors before the election last Friday. All information about the ballot was publicizedyet, the election was a disaster. Possibly the reasons for failure are that few students actually know what the functions and powers of the committee are. The committee can (could) influence departmentaldecisions in matters of undergraduate curriculum, and far range planning. These are two wide areas ofmany current student dissatisfaction. More specifically, although students do not have direct power to fire a faculty member, they can carry sufficient weight in keeping a teacher that is being dismissed. Anadvisory committee gives advice. Advice means having a say in what goes on around this campus.Students want a voice; they can have it. Apathy and hypocrisy are the key words in the whole matter. Itseems that students are running around saying one thing, and meaning another. They want a voice, butthey won't do anything about it. By JOHN STOLPE SHARPEN YOUR PENCILS: We are alwaysflattered when the college administration strikes out among the nobodies on campus hill seekingsuggestions to help Western cinch its financial belt. So, in the face of another Great Depression, wecourageously offer these little dinky dumb ideas to help the old school squander a few fast bucks (Takenotes, as you may be tested on this material later): â€”Let's start by auctioning off the notorius Noguchi"sky-viewing" sculpture in Red Square. The campus has just about exhausted its supply of sky-viewersanyway, and if the parking dilemma worsens we'll need that space to berth another Volkswagen bus.â€”We had planned on recommending that the college might jack up its prices in the co-op bookstore, but someone beat us to that idea already. Dang. â€”We haven't had a tuition increase in gt;,at least severalmonths. It makes us wonder if the state has forgotten that its colleges and universities are overrun withfilthy rich collegians and cash-flinging ex-G.I.s with fat government checks. We suggest at least a $50increase in fees. After all, we can't have those taxpayers shouldering the hog's share of our educationalexpense. â€”How about turning off all those extra lights in Old Main after dark? The Muckraker hasthousands of little home remedies to help cure Western of its wild spending spree, but good taste andlibel laws forbid further discussion here. Send for my new pamphlet, "Slicing the Boeing State CollegeBudget Pie," by mailing a stamped, self-addressed envelope to this newspaper. Please enclose $6.50 incoin to help cover handling costs and increased tuition for next quarter. No food stamps, please. ON THE SERIOUS SIDE: A black man here on campus needs help. We were told, the other day of the plight of a foreign student from an emerging African nation who is down on his luck and in serious need of financialassistance. He came to Western expecting a graduate assistantship, but it did not come through. Thisman needs $300 to last him through Christmas. If you are capable of offering help, or know of someonewho is, please get in contact with this column as soon as possible. It is the least we can do to try andsave this man's education. * * * FRIDAY'S MUCKRAKER will take you on a whirlwind tour ofBellingham's better-known drinking establishments.

Watching Douglas Fairbanks triumph over the forces of evil in The Iron Mask Friday, I couldn't help but superimpose my 20th centurycollege-student attitudes on the swashbuckling classic. Fairbanks, as the musketeer D'Artagnan,epitomized the John Wayne love-it-or-leave-it super-patriot of the sword who would spill his blood fromhere to eternity for a plot of ground. While 1929 audiences surely cheered Fairbanks on in his heroicdiversions, I could only snicker. It was like a high-camp Batman TV show. It's all here of course.Damsels in distress, evil villains, death-defying acrobatics. Even the rightful king of France, Louis IX, iskidnapped and trapped within an iron mask. Whatever crisis arose, the three musketeers met thechallenge with ease. A simple chant of "All for one, and one for all" sent the opposition fleeing in terror.There was no in-between in those days (the 1600's), when the tide of chivalry was at its zenith. A manwas either good or bad, never a mixture of both. Finally, the hand of fate intervened and D'Artagnan wentoff to the great swordfight in the sky. As he breathed his last, the narrator intoned: "You died as youlived-in love of. your country." . . . .Qh.w.ejl, Bac.M.o.EJhQt.QQuld.. â€¢ English Apathy If you are anEnglish or journalism major, you no doubt heard frequent announcements of elections for the StudentAdvisory Committee of this department. You may also be vaguely interested in the results of lastFriday's ballot for those students running. ? Twenty-six out of some 600 English and journalism majorsvoted. Dr. Robert McDonnell, chairman of the English department, says frankly he doesn't know what todo with the ballot yet. Students could have, but haven't successfully formed a Student AdvisoryCommittee to the department for the past two years since McDonnell first suggested its formation. Thecommittee could carry weight with the undergraduate curriculum and far range planning committees ofthe English department. McDonnell first put it to students to form the committee among themselves.Nothing happened. Last Spring quarter an open meeting was set up and well publicized for voting oncommittee members. Thirteen people voted. This quarter an open ballot was held. Eighteen places fornomination to the committee were filled. Information about election procedures was announcedrepeatedly. McDonnell suggested that perhaps a Student Apathy Committee should be formed.

The facilities will be located on seven and a halfacres outside the Bellingham city limits on the south side of Mt. Baker Highway, 1.7 miles east of theSunset Drive interchange with Interstate 5. If the levy doesn't pass in November, Kingsley isn't sure howthe clinic is going to get the money to pay for the center. Kingsley stressed the need for the new centerby citing an experience he had with one patient. The patient, an extremely nervous veteran, "freaked out" as a train passed outside the clinic. The patient jumped up from his chair and almost leaped out theoffice window, Kingsley said. It took the doctor about three minutes tov calm down his patient. Kingsleyexplained that trains pass by the clinic quite a few times during the day.

That's - where the change will occur," U.S. Senatorial candidate WilliamMassey told ,an estimated 50 students at Western Friday. Massey, a" candidate on the SocialistWorkers Party (SWP) ticket, endorsed the Oct. 31 nation-wide demonstrations. "Oct. 31 is a muchmore important date than Nov. 3 is," he said. Massey lashed out at what he called the "phrase-mongering" of the Democratic and Republican Parties. "The peace candidates of both parties supportthe popular war (Israel) and oppose the unpopular war (Vietnam)." Republicans and Democrats are liketwo brands of chewing gum, he told the Western Front in an interview following-the speech. "There is nodifference in the last analysis." The SWP as a political party is about 40 years old "though the m e m be r s are considerably younger," Massey said. Massey outlined six points of the SWP platform: 1.Immediate troop withdrawal from Indochina and the rest of the world. "Let the people vote on immediatewithdrawal and tax war profits 100 per cent," the party platform states. 2. Minority control of theircommunities. "End the repression against third world militants, especially the Black Panther Party." 3.Support Women's Liberation. "In order for women to play the role they can and should play in society,abortions must be free and available on demand.* He called for the passage of Referendum 20 as a steptoward free abortion. .4. Protection for the workers. "End unemployment by providing jobs for all through shorter work weeks with no reduction in pay. We support unemployment compensation at full unionscales as long as jobs are unavailable." 5. Change the tax structure. "Abolish all income taxes onincomes under $10,000 while taxing all income over $25,000 100 per cent." 6. End pollution. "So longas it is profitable to pollute, the businesses will pollute. To solve America's problems we have toeliminate the profit system." Massey said he believed the recent rash of bombings was a " v e r y poorcaricature of government action." "I think bombings are wrong and stupid," he said. Valley BackRadiating the love, hope and inner peace of which he sings gives Jim Valley's music a joyous appealwhich seems to come from his soul through his voice and guitar. Valley, nicknamed "Happy Harpo"when he performed for Paul Revere and the Raiders, will sing at 7 p.m. Thursday, in the VU coffee den.He drew nearly 400 people last Spring quarter, capping Campus Crusade for Christ's weekly College Life program. A self-taught musician, Valley began his performing career as drummer, with Don and theGoodtimes. He became lead guitar with the Raiders when the draft grabbed up Phil Volk (better knownas "Fang"). The switch in style from rock to folk came after Harpo left fame, fortune and the Raiders twoyears ago to work for the Union Pacific Railroad and sing for churches and youth groups on theweekends. Lack of purpose in life was his reason for leaving the money and glamour of show business.In his words, "One day, I met a man named Jesus Christ who changed my life's direction." New Building Preliminary planning is under way for construction of a new social sciences building which will hold thegeography, political science, and sociology/anthropology departments. Dr. Howard Critchfield, chairmanof the building program committee for this project, said the building will be located southwest of theheating plant and next to the Northwest Environmental Science Center which is another future project.

What are their goals?According to League of Veterans Interim President Don DeMarco, the group plans to lobby in Olympiafor a state bonus for Vietnam War veterans and one tuition-free year of college. Washington is one of the few states which does not have a state bonus for veterans. The bonus usually takes the form of a setamount of money given the vet upon his release from active military service. The state legislature passed a bill last year giving the veterans a bonus, but Gov. Daniel J. Evans vetoed the bill as unconstitutional.The club is open to all students, faculty and staff who have served in the armed forces and weredischarged under honorable conditions. Wanfed- Tutors The Student Tutoring Service is asking forvolunteers to help children who may have got a rotten deal in the public schools or whose parents maynot have the educational background to help them. The service works with children at - the Lummi Indian Tribal Center, the Boy's Club, the migrant workers, and various Bellingham elementary and secondaryschools. The service gives college students a chance to apply schoolbook psychology to actualsituations. The Student Tutoring Service has been in existence for six years and is funded by theAssociated Students. More students are needed to volunteer their time and experience toward helpingthose who have not had their academic advantages.

He said the people in government who oppose violence such as bombings should deal firstwith the violence they create themselves (i.e., the Vietnam War and racial tension produced by policebrutality). He called for the passage of Vote 19, adding, "I would favor Vote 12." The SWP has filed suitagainst the State of Washington voting laws which prescribe filing fees to get on the ballot. "The law isaimed at keeping third parties off the ballot. Under existing law, a third party must hold a nominatingconvention on the day of the Primary election and obtain 100 signatures before the party slate canappear on the ballot. SWP convention obtained 166 such signatures last month, he said. UN LeadersGuarded Plainclothes and uniformed security officers blanketed the United Nations grounds lastWednesday.

A special state grand jury in Ohioprobing last May's Kent State University killings, exonerated National Guard troops who fired onstudents. In a report last week, the jurors felt that the National Guard fired their weapons undercircumstances which caused them to believe they would suffer bodily injury had they not done so. Atthe same time, the jurors c r i t i c i z e d the u n i v e r s i ty administration for being too permissive with students and faculty to the extent that it could no longer regulate the activities of either.

I have eard that there is no way short of an peration to return it to normal. Secondly, what doyou think of veight lifting as a means of keeping n shape? Vnswer; Joints are held in place by nuscles,tendons and ligaments. A tislocation is a disturbance of the ormal relationship of the parts of a ointresulting in inevitable tearing or tretching of ligaments. Once a joint as been dislocated, it becomeseasier or it to "pÂ°P o u t " o n subsequent â€¢ccasions when an unusual force is pplied to it. Each time is a little asier than the one before. Examination by an orthopedic urgeon is indicated in your case.Corrective surgery entails tightening p of loosened structures and â€¢ccasionally transplanting aligament, t is indicated in severe cases. People who weight lift say it's great. Most people feci that it issupplementary to a well rounded exercise program. In your case, weight lifting that would involve yourinjured shoulder should only be at your doctor's recommendation. In fact, I'd raise my arm slowly in class if I were you. Question: A few of my friends tell me that the latest fad is getting high on the scent otthe adhesive portion of Scotch magic transparent tape. Is this potentially harmful in any way? Answer:This variation on glue sniffing probably makes use of the toxic effects of either the glue or the solventused to get it off the tape. Inhalation of unknown vapors can be very dangerous, sometimes causing liverdisease of convulsions. The package for this particular tape says it is good for permanent use. Sniffingvapors can also be fatal. Question: I am engaged and have had sex. My problem is that even afterseveral times, there is still pain in the vaginal area. Also, I am not able to have an orgasm. My fiance isable to reach a climax even though I cannot. Though I love my fiance, I do not enjoy intercourse but feel-Fshould engage in such activities for his sake. Is there any explanation for the repeated pain and theinability to reach a climax? I would appreciate an immediate reply as I am extremely concerned! Answer: Unlike the man, who must be sexually excited in order to have an erection and participate in.intercourse, the woman can physically participate in intercourse regardless of her state of excitement.Your indication that you do not enjoy intercourse leads me to believe that you are probably not verysexually excited during relations. Tenseness and a lack of vaginal secretions can easily result in apainful experience when a woman attempts sexual intercourse without excitement. Orgasm becomesimpossible. Painful intercourse and lack of climax can also result when excitement- is present, but poortechnique and haste before relations begin, prevents adequate physiological and emotional preparationfor orgasm. The technical part of your question was easy to answer, but the real issue is how to dealwith your relationship with your fiance. You might consider sharing your feelings and concerns aboutintercourse with him. It takes quite a while for most people to feel at ease and enjoy sexual relations.Many couples find that sexual, relations are more satisfactory for both when it is mutually desired andthe emotional and physical aspects of a relationship are fully understood. Many unmarried couplesengage in sexual intercourse, others prefer not to. The key to a successful relationship in this areadepends more upon mutual understanding than it does on what is done or not done. Sexual Expressionin Marriage by Donald W. Hastings, M.D., Bantam Books, provides an excellent discussion of sexualtechnique. Ira Reiss's Premarital Sexual Standards in America, Free Press, paperback providesinteresting reading along a different line. Question: I am almost 19 years of age and have notexperienced nocturnal emission ("Wet dream"). Is there something wrong with me? Answer: Wetdreams are much less common or completely absent in a man who masturbates regularly or is havingregular sexual intercourse. Since almost all men past early adolescence are doing one of the other orboth, I assume you fall into this group. Ninety-nine per cent of men can't be wrong!

Everett Jensen said at a discussion with local clergy at the Campus ChristianMinistry last week.:.; Jensen said the Abortion law of 1908 was passed primarily for protection of themother against abortions of any kind because of the archaic medical practices of the day. "The state isencroaching upon an ill definition of abortion and forcing it upon the people," he said. At present,Washington's law allows abortions only if the mother's life is in danger. Jensen said the cries of murderfrom opponents of Referendum 20 is unconstructive emotionalism and blocks any rational discussion ofthe issue.

This is in no small way due to an excellent recruiting effort on thepart of Long last spring. Because of it Western is not having to overcome a sheer manpower disadvantage as in past years. But the Viking's football fortunes are to an extent being underminded by the programwithin which it exists. One area is coaching. This year the Viking football coaching staff has only threemembers. Assisting'Long are one full-time assistant and a graduate assistant. Such a situation is absurdconsidering the number of athletes involved. Of the eight Evco schools, the average football coaching staff consists of five members. Every school except Western has at least three full-time assistants. EasternWashington tops the Evco with a total of eight coaches on its football staff. Central has six, OregonCollege five, Southern Oregon five, Whitworth five, Eastern Oregon four and Oregon Tech four. But acoaching deficiency is not the only roadblock facing Viking football. Hampering recruiting are a number of factors that do not affect other Evco schools. For example Western's entering freshmen must have a 2.5grade point average in high school. Other Evco schools have entering freshman g.p.a. requirementsranging from 2.25 down to 2.0. Also due to booming enrollment Western's new policy barring out-of-statestudents adds yet another disadvantage. Another problem is that a junior varsity football program is non-existant at Western, due mostly to the fact of an inadequate staff. Another liability is that of not having afull-time trainer. Certainly graduate assistants and students handling the job do their best, but lack oftime and experience on their part make for an extremely poor situation for a college-level football program. Against some non-conference opponents even greater obstacles must be overcome. For example Simon Fraser conducts regular spring football workouts and has many players on athletic scholarships. It hasbeen factors such as these that have contributed to Western's sharing in only three conference titlessince the league was formed in 1948. In that time the other three schools in the Evco since its formation(central, Eastern, Whitworth) have won at least four outright titles and tied for another. Certainly winningis not the basic end of an educationally-oriented athletic program. But the program should at least provide some measures by which winning can be possible. If the football program at Western is going to be runonly to compete then it should be put down to the intramural level where it belongs. For many of the other values which athletics can teach, are lost in the context within which football now exists at Western. It is neither fair to the athletes or the coaches involved. w By BOB TAYLOR Football is a game full of allkinds of odysseys. For instance, the traditional dog on the field, or a scene that happened two years agoin the Orange Bowl. Kansas was battling Penn State in the game. On the next to last play of the game,Kansas got caught with 12 men on the field, which is against the rules. It didn't matter too much as Penn State scored the winning touchdown. Last Saturday a similar occurrence happened in Pullman, in theWSU-Stanford game. However this time, it wasn't a player for either team, although as things turned out,there may be a man hunt out to get this person. From the UPI comes this story of a WSU fan, whobecame tired of watching Stanford roll point after point up on the scoreboard, and decided to dosomething about it. His target was Stanford's Eric Cross. Cross had just sprinted 25 yards untouchedand was approaching the WSU goal-line. The fan, unable to contain himself any longer, jumped out of the stands and nailed Cross with a pretty good tackle at the five yard line. Cross, momentarily stunned,regained his senses and scored. The fan was last seen escorted from the game by some police officers.However, because of circumstances (WSU losing 63-16), there may be a man-hunt to recruit this vicioustackle for the WSU team. * * * Off the Bench had a pretty good week, prediction wise, hitting nine out of 10. The lone loss was Whit worth's 24-7 upset victory of Eastern Washington. After two weeks, Off theBench has hit on 72 per cent of its predictions (Football.scores; see page 11 J. ...._.,.. torn Wigg (44),Western's hard-running fullback, gets blocking from Ken Knuckey (75) and Mark Schroeder (64). Western Falls to UPS, 34-14 The University of Puget Sound (UPS) Loggers, capitalizing on Viking turnovers withsparkling play by quarterback Bob Cason, defeated Western 34-14 Saturday night at Civic Stadium.Three Western fumbles in a rain-drenched first quarter paved the way for the Loggers as they sped to a20-0 lead in the first eleven minutes of play. After losing a fumble on the UPS 45 yard line, the Vikingsfound themselves on their own three yard line on a subsequent Logger punt. There, fullback Tom Wigg's fumble was recovered by UPS linebacker Roy Bogrand on the two. The Loggers wasted no time asfullback John Garland carried it over and Jaap Van Erk kicked his first of four extra points. Westerncouldn't muster an attack on the ensuing kickoff and punted out to their own 49. It took the Loggers onlyfive plays to score their second touchdown as Cason tallied on a 20-yard sprint. Again the Vikings foundthe football hard to handle as Wigg fumbled to the Logger's Dave McKim on the first play fromscrimmage following the UPS kickoff. The Loggers covered the 27 yards in five plays as Cason took itover from the one for a 20-0 lead as Van Erk missed the point after. In the second quarter Westernmounted a comeback as they marched 46 yards in 11 plays for their first touchdown as QuarterbackGlenn Hadland replacing starter Steve Johnson, plunged over from the 1. Lance Wilson kicked the extrapoint. The drive was set up on a pass interception by safety Vic Randall, the twentieth of his career.Four minutes later the Vikings were on the scoreboard again as Wigg took a Hadland screen pass 17yards for the TD. The score was made possible by freshman Jody Miller, who electrified the crowd of3,500 with a 67-yard punt return to the UPS 17 yard line. Wilson's kick put the Vikings on the short endof a 20-14 score at halftime. The third quarter and much of the fourth proved to be a fierce defensivebattle. Western has numerous opportunities to score on two fumble recoveries by linebacker Mark Venn and interception by half-back Kevin Halliburton. Venn's first recovery came on the UPS 17 yard line. The Vikings got to the 10 where Wilson missed a field goal attempt. The second recovery by Venn was onthe UPS 38, but it too went for nothing as the Vikings failed to make a first down on a fourth and inchessituation. With eight minutes remaining in the contest Bogrand intercepted a Hadland pass on theWestern 49 yard line. r' By PAUL MADISON In six plays Cason directed the Loggers into the end zone, firing a 13-yard touchdown to end Dan Johnson. The last Logger score came with only 26 seconds leftas Cason capped a 70-yard drive, throwing another TD pass to Bill Hecker of 8 yards. In all UPS had 354 yards in total offense to Western's 202. Cason completed 11 of 18 passes for 118 yards and rushedanother 86 for 204 total yards. Garland rushed 93 yards in 27 carries for the Loggers while Heckercaught 5 passes for 45 yards and Mark Ross three for 42 yards. Western's Hadland was held to only 79yards passing as he completed 7 of 14. Wigg caught 3 for 31 yards and Neil Crawford 2 for 30 yards.Wigg rushed for 62 yards in 21 carries and halfback Rob Lonborg 35 yards in 12 attempts. DefensivelyVenn turned in an outstanding game for the Vikings. Besides two fumble recoveries, the juniorintercepted a pass and was in on 22 tackles. Tackle Jim Kleitsch did a fine job for the Logger "stop"squad.

The Vik booters, two-time Western Washington SoccerConference champions, dominated play at both ends of the field, especially in the first half. In the firsthalf the Viks ripped SPC for seven goals and controlled the ball so that SPC got just two shots on theWestern goal, both stopped by Vik goalie Lome Turner. Meanwhile the explosive Viks went to work onthe SPC goal. Bob Mills' head-shot goal in the early minutes of play set the stage for Western's scoringspree. Mills went on to score two more times before the first half ended.

LEE MARVIN "MONTEWALSH A CINEMA CENTER FILMS PRESENTATION A NATIONAL GENERAL PICTURES RELEASEPANAVISI0NÂ»and TECHNICOLOR- \GP\ lt;@ Feminine Physicist Joins Faculty A new form hasbeen added to the Physics department in the person of Miss Margaret Herz. For the first time thedepartment has a woman instructor. Originally from Chicago, the 27-year-old Miss Herz expects toreceive her Ph.D. in astrophysics within the next few months. Commenting on her unique position in thedepartment Miss Herz said, "It's okay. I'm used to being in the minority." Presently teaching a lecture101 course in Physics and four labs, she is tentatively planning to teach an Astronomy course nextquarter. Miss Herz chose Physics because it appeared the most elemental and basic of sciences. â€¢"I like astrophysics because it takes in almost all fields of physics," she explained. On a broader scope, Western's physics department is looking ahead to the 1970-71 academic year. Dr. R. McLeod, physics department chairman, recently explained the philosophy of the physics department in relation to thephysics 101 program. "Our responsibility is to the institution and the student not the department," Dr.McLeod explained. "Our basic problem is to ensure quality teaching at the introductory level," heemphasized. Some 900 students are currently enrolled in Physics 101 and Dr. McLeod predicts some2300 students will have taken the course by the end of the school year. "Students are scared to death of Physics," McLeod said. He believes 75 per cent of the students wouldn't take the course if they didn'thave to. Yet he sees a New Education Masters Degree A master of education with a major in adulteducation administration is being offered through the graduate school at Western. Primary emphasis inthe program is placed on institutional development, administrative techniques, adult learning theory, and - curriculum planning and programming. Western is now offering a graduate program to prepareprofessionals for careers in in-service training in business, industry and government; community serviceand adult education programs with libraries, museums, voluntary organizations, public schools,community colleges_ and YMCA/YWCA; governmental agencies; and college and university ' continuing education divisions. Applications are invited from persons with a bachelor degree and a minimum of 3.0grade average during the last year of undergraduate study and at least a 2.5 grade point average overall.A limited number of graduate assistantships, scholarships and grants are available. Further informationcan be obtained from the department of continuing studies. basic grasp of physics as elemental inunderstanding the basic structure and movement of life. "We want to give the student a generalunderstanding of the principles of physics so he can become better informed on the world he lives in,"Dr. McLeod stated. "Now we are trying to get the student so they aren't afraid of physics, so they'llconsider it^.We spend the first two weeks getting the students to feel comfortable in class," he said. He tentatively posed several reasons for student apprehensions about physics. Students usually have nogreat familiarity with physics he said. They have a picture of a terribly advanced and mathematicalscience McLeod explained. The philosophy of the physics program is not to convert students to physics major but merely to give them a basic understanding of the science and relate it to their everyday world. "We could put our 900 students in one auditorium and cut labs," he pointed out. "If this was done thedepartment could gain 100 hours of instruction; yet we could still claim the same number of credit hoursand shift instructors into research to get their instructor hours," he hypothesized. Though such a change would allow more research and time with graduates, Dr. McLeod is against that approach. He believesthe greatest concentration should be on the undergraduate student who is taking introductory physicsand needs a basic understanding of the course as part of his liberal education. Phantom PiperMysterious bagpipe music coming from the woods has the bonnie lads and lassies on upper campusshaking in their kilts. The music was reported to be heard "echoing" through the woods. So far thesource of the music hasn't been located causing one student to comment, "It must be a spook." Firstreports of the Phantom Piper (as the player is now called) was brought to the Front's attention twoweeks ago. The reports were dismissed as bad weed or hysteria. But Jeff Foss, a Highland Hallresident, says he isn't (and wasn't) hysterical and calmly stated, "I've heard The Phantom Piper play."Armed with nothing but Scottish nerve, Foss has formed a one man task force to find the Phantom."First, two other bagpipe players tried to draw the Phantom out with their music," Foss said. Althoughthe pipers played until the wee hours "they didn't have much luck." Not one to give up easily, Foss andtwo volunteers set out one Friday evening to track down the Phantom. "We heard the music coming from the woods," Foss said, "but when we got close the music seemed to drift away. Pretty freaky, huh?"Whether it's "pretty freaky" or not, Foss said the search will continue. "Until we find the Phantom or themusic stops." "The whole thing reminds me of the old snipe hunts I used to go on," one upper classmansaid when asked for a comment about the Phantom. VV y y y y gt; gt;â€¢ yy â€¢Â» yy yy ^.yy .y^ gt; ' A/.W.

Instead they passed along individual concerns expressed by the members of the taskforce. Draft legislation H-244 would set tuition at twenty-five per cent of the cost of instruction. The rateswould be calculated each ensuing biennium, based on data collected by the Council on PostsecondaryEducation. The bill would also establish a Permanent Advisory Committee on Student Financial Aid.Members of the committee would be financial aids officers and students from the state colleges,universities and community colleges. It would be established within the CPE. Forty per cent of tuition and fees could be waived for students enrolled in programs designated by the CPE as "manpower shortage areas." The average wage of Washington state workers would be the basis for tuition under draftlegislation H-245. For example, tuition for the 1977 to 79 biennium would be determined by the averagewage of fiscal year 1976. The last proposed tuition bill, H-246, would set tuition at $193.10 per quarter forresident students and $468.40 for non-resident students at the three state colleges, Western, Easternand Central. University of Washington resident students would pay $218.20 and non-resident studentswould pay $536.20. Resident students at Washington State University would pay the same as UWresidents, while non-resident students would pay $526.20. The bill would also establish the financial aidcommittee and an Office of Tuition Adjustment within the CPE. The office would determine three rangesof parental and student income which would correspond to percentage reductions in tuition. One member of the task force said none of the bills would generate the revenue designated by Governor Daniel Evansas needed to fund higher education, but H-244 (cost of instruction bill) would generate the most.Members expressed some skepticism at setting up the Office of Tuition Adjustment within the CPE. One said it seemed that a "Super Board of Regents" was being established. The Citizens' Task Force onTuition was established last year by Maxie in order to find the most equitable way to charge tuition.The CPE completed a massive study on tuition this past year and came up with the cost of instructionstandard for assessing tuition. WESTERN front TUESDAY, TANUARY 11, 1977 VOL. 69 NO. 18 Grantreceived for Lummi class by SANDY CATT . Educational opportunities offered by Western will sooninclude a communications class on the Lummi reservation, following receipt of - a $9,000 grantannounced by College President Paul Olscamp. The pilot program, designed by Pete Steffens,journalism department acting chairman, and Willie Jones, Lummi tribe communications director,received its initial funding last Thursday from the Gannett Foundation. The foundation recentlyestablished a policy of supporting programs to develop communications skills of minorities uT thestate. After learning of the foundation's policy, Steffens contacted different minority groups in theNorthwest about the desirability of a communications class. Jones responded and the two menplanned a class. The foundation responded to Steffens' idea with the check. Jones said this class willhelp a large number of people, enabling them to prepare better copy for the tribe's newsletter. He also anticipates an increase in the newsletter's circulation, into Bellingham, after the class. "I'm really gladwe got the opportunity to get the grant," Jones said. Steffens, who has had experience teachingminorities, will teach the class. "Part of the meaning of life is to do things for other people. Part of thatmeaning for a teacher in the Northwest is to teach Indian people what they want to know," Steffens said. ' The ten-week course, called Communications I, will meet twice a week, starting Jan. 24. Classenrollment will be about 15. Jones said students will be from the newsletter staff, the Lummi School ofAquaculture, the youth coordinator and others who are interested in getting news in the newsletter.Studies will include general news and feature writing, public relations releases, grant writing andofficial reports writing. "We're really looking forward to the class because it will upgrade the paper,"Jones said. He also said there is wide recognition that native Americans feel the need to developthemselves in writing. He regrets that the American Indian Press Association has not been able to domore in this area for the Indian peoples. Steffens feels this class may act as a model for theassociation, enabling them to develop similar programs for other Indian communities. "I'm reallyinterested in developing newswriting classes for Chicanos and Natural Americans," he said. "Theopportunities for Blacks have developed but there were other groups that were left behind." insideMt. Baker sees skis at last.

Shouts of "Matches!" and"Candles!" echoed down the halls and passageways. The quest for light brought out the criminalinstincts in many people as they stole the candles from Saga after the romantic candlelight dinner,which turned out to be peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk. Some people went to theextremes looking for light. Tales floated down about crazies dressed up in robes carrying candles and chanting weird things. The leader was carrying a flaming broom for a torch- It would be no surprise atall if numerous burnt brooms and mops are found in the days to come. There were a few casualties, ofcourse. The ice on the ground and new frost caused many slips and falls. Colds and flu ran rampant after the heat stopped working. One student, after taking the advice of a friend, filled a wine glass withrubbing alcohol and set it on fire for use as a torch. The wine glass started melting very quickly and herdesk was the scene of many little flash fires, all of which had to be beaten out with a rug. Many peoplerealized how dependent they were on electricity, especially after they realized that without electricitythere can be no music. The peaceful silence by the Ridge-way dorms was a definite pleasure to many,after the usual deafening music. The power loss caught many people with their pants down, literally.This reporter, and probably many others also, was reading a book in the bathroom when calamity struck. Frantic cries of "I can't find the goddamn paper!" permeated the initial silence. Although most peoplewere shocked or frustrated when the power loss first occurred, afterwards most agreed that we reallyneed a good power shortage once in a while, just to relieve the monotony. Mayor opposes liquor license, hopes crippled by GREG HOOFNAGLE Western's chances for a beer and wine service may be crippled by Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz's public announcement that he would oppose granting of liquor licensesto the college. Recently, SAGA Food Service and the Viking Union made joint application to theWashington State Liquor Control Board for Class A and Class C liquor licenses. Should the applicationgo through, beer and wine sales would begin in the VU Coffee Shop's Auxiliary Room. Proposed hoursfor the service are noon-7 p.m., weekdays. SAGA would manage the sales and ID checking. However,Hertz's statement struck fear in . some hearts. AS President Bruce. Ayers said from what he could tell"no liquor licenses get through when city hall opposes." The mayor gave several reasons for not wantingbeer and wine sales at Western. In a statement to the liquor board Hertz wrote: "I am opposed todecentralization of taverns or places that permanently serve alcoholic beverages, particularly in residential neighborhoods." Hertz referred to the college as "a prime residential area." The mayor also stressed hewas not trying to spite Western. His philosophy is preventing the spread of liquor sales throughoutneighborhoods. Several people were skeptical, however. VU Director Jack Smith calls Western"somewhat of a city within a city." He does not believe "a Evening shuttle service No longer free for riders The evening shuttle bus service between campus and the Mall is no longer free to students, due to the cost of chartering a bus. The $5,000 bill for the shuttle service was split last year by the AS andthe Parking and Transportation Commission, and the Commission can't afford to share the bill,according to R. G. Peterson, Director of Security. "Unless we charge a fee, we'd have to discontinue the shuttle service altogether. The college community of over 10,000 people concentrated on a campuscan be considered a residential neighborhood." Smith explained that such areas, defined for zoningpurposes, do not offer multi-unit and high-rise living complexes, office space for over a thousandemployes, performance facilities, a bookstore, conference facilities, restaurants and so on. Hertz alsonoted that 40 per cent of Western's student population is under drinking age. Ayers, however, flipped thecoin and said that over 7,000 people on campus are of drinking age. The mayor worried that BellinghamPolice Department efforts to curb serious juvenile drinking problems would be harmed by exposing"approximately 3,680 juveniles to open drinking on campus . . . " (Note: Apparently, the mayor meantthere are about 3,680 Western students under drinking age. Since a juvenile in Bellingham is generallysomeone under 18, there are only about 145 on campus.) Chief of Police Terry Mangan did not saywhether he supported a beer and wine service for Western, but he did state that his "primary concern islocal high school students." He could recall no major drinking hassles with Western students. That, hesaid, was Western campus security territory. Robert G. Peterson, head of campus security, saidcampus drinking problems were minimal. In fact, he has not given the liquor license application muchthought. "It's not that big an issue," he said. ' Ayers agreed. "Having beer and wine is not a big emotional issue," he said. "We're not asking for a pub and we've imposed upon ourselves very restrictive hours."Both Ayers and Smith called the proposed liquor service a very low-key operation. They also believeWestern's application is unique because it is not asking for pub hours, but for limited weekday service.Ayers said that Eastern Washington State College applied for liquor licenses, wanting a campus pub.The licenses were not granted. "We're not asking for what other people are asking for," he said. WhileWestern may not be looking for a pub, it does want a regular beer and wine service. Currently, liquor isavailable only on an irregular basis with banquet permits. College President Paul Olscamp, VicePresident for Student Affairs C.W. "Bill" McDonald, and the AS have all approved Western's liquorlicense request. However, if the liquor board shows signs of issuing the A and C licenses, Hertz hasasked for a public hearing. He suggests that Bellingham citizens would oppose issuance, 2-to-l. Parking and Transportation monies are for parking lots," said Peterson. Peterson said a poll showed studentsare willing to pay to ride the shuttle, which originally started on a trial basis as a result of studentconcern about night time assaults on women in the campus area. Students seem to be taking thechange good-naturedly. As one bus rider said, "It was nice having it free, but it's still cheap. I'd ride mybike but I ran't take theso hills," / / â€¢;'^ftSCUT ABOVE pEQiyiE.TFJ.^AIR CUTTING FOR MEN WOMEN 'â€¢\. gt;-s' .\.JvAmL\.

The increases recommended by the council give Western a 10 per cent increase, butWestern, as an individual institution, will ask the state legislature for another 4.5 per cent to sufficientlycover cost-of-living increases and consumer prices. The council had originally recommended a 13.9 percent increase for the cost of living at a cost of $71.7 million. The increase was based'on a seven-statesurvey of institutions with similar economies. A problem of salary equalization arose. In the seven-statesurvey average, some institutions' faculty salaries were above the average and Veterans Administrationsays: some were below. Western was 5.6 per cent below this seven-state average. The governor'sbudget for higher education stands at $1.2 billion, including his 12 per cent recommended increase forfaculty salaries. The budget stands at $728.5 million excluding faculty increases. Included in the budgetis a financial aid recommendation and a tuition increase. A report on House Floor Resolution 66 (HFR66), "Budgeting and Expending of Services and Activities Fees," was also discussed by the council. Areview of this discussion will be reported at a later date. A fall enrollment report showed that enrollment is down from 1975 to 76 in state colleges, universities, community colleges and private institutions. "Hie number of high school graduates has greatly affected enrollment, as has community college transfers. Enrollment of community college transfers has remained essentially the same at Western. There hasbeen a decline in veteran enrollment but an increase in women enrollment, where there is potentialincrease of women graduate students. Part time enrollment has remained relatively constant in mostcolleges but "the .number of baccalaurate-bound students will be down dramatically in the 1980s,"according to Denis Curry, member of the council staff presenting the material and statistics. "Totalenrollment has been affected," he said, "because the social need for college has been changed due tothe options after high school of which there are a wide variety. Dr. Smiley Obituary No pay for non-punitive grades by MICHAEL WHITTEN The Veterans Administration has issued new regulations whichdo not allow the VA to pay for courses in which a non-punitive grade is received unless there aremitigating circumstances. The new legislation became effective December 1, 1976. Non-punitivegrades are those that are not counted toward graduation requirements or are not computed in thestudent's grade point average. While the VA will not necessarily reduce benefits if a student receivesan "F" under the regular grading system, they will possibly reduce or terminate benefits retroactively foran entire quarter if a student receives a grade of "NP". In the past, if a veteran dropped a class involving enough credits to affect his benefits, the VA would reduce or terminate benefits only from the date ofwithdrawal. The new regulations are such that benefits are likely to be affected for the entire quarter,retroactively. The entire quarter will be involved unless the veteran can prove to the VA that mitigatingcircumstances were involved in the course drop or school withdrawal. These circumstances, such asillness or financial problems that keep a student from attending class, are those beyond the control ofthe student. "Veterans should not necessarily avoid the Pass/Fail system but they should be aware of what could happen if they receive a NP" grade," VA representative Jeremy Stamden said. TheRegistrar has recommended that all veterans avoid the Pass/Fail system. Veterans who receive anincomplete will have one quarter to complete the class. The VA will contact any student who receivesa non-punitive grade and request any mitigating circumstances prior to reduction of payments backto December 1, 1976, or the beginning of a term. Stamden also announced that effective October 1,1976 maximum benefits were increased to 45 months for veterans with over one and a half yearsactive duty. Memorial services for Dr. Sandra S. Smiley, associate professor of psychology atWestern, were held Dec. 12, at St. James Presbyterian Church. She died Dec. 2 of cancer. Dr. Smiley,34, joined Western's staff in 1969 and was promoted to associate professor with tenurein 1974. Inaddition to her extensive research in the area of child development and psychology, she taught coursesin general psychology, child development and cognitive development. She is survived by herparents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smiley of Cardiff, California; a sister, Priscilla Tragesser of Bellingham; a brother, Lt. Phil Smiley in the U.S. Navy; and three sisters in California, Ar-dith, Faye and Julie Smiley.

If we* are to believe Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz, Western students are not able to handlebeer and wine maturely. Plans for serving beer and wine in the Viking Union's Coffee Shop AuxiliaryRoom and in ala carte dining areas were dealt a near death blow when Hertz publicly announced hewould oppose granting of class 'A' and *C liquor licenses to Western. Hertz stated there were adequatedrinking establishments in Bellingham. Western, however, is not trying to form "another drinkingestablishment." As explained in Western's application to the Washington State Liquor Board, beer andwine would only be served from noon to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. The times speak for themselves:There would be no pub, there would be no night and weekend sales of booze, there would hardly be anydrinking problems. Furthermore, how does one determine whether Bellingham has "adequate" drinkingfacilities? Limits cannot really be set. New drinking places appear regularly in Bellingham and in mosttowns and cities. The reasons for wanting a liquor license are simple. First, many students like wine withtheir meals. Second, academic interaction is more relaxed and often more effective over a beer or two.Finally, Western offers a plethora of services â€” conveniently. Sale of beer and wine is an obviousexception; one has to go all the way downtown for that. Hertz complains of the 3680 Western studentswho are under drinking age. He seems to have forgotten nearly 5500 students who are of age, not tomention scores of professors, administrators and other school personnel. Many of these people coulduse a glass of wine or a schooner to unwind a bit during a busy day. However, they usually do not havethe time to head downtown. The mayor also fears efforts of the Bellingham Police Department to curbdrinking problems would be hurt. Yet, Chief of Police Terry Mangan says his department has had littletrouble with drunk Western students. His biggest headache is high schoolers. Even in the unlikely eventa noticeable drinking problem does occur at Western, it would be the concern of campus security, notthe BPD. Serving beer and wine on campus would have no major impact. It would be a handy service tothose of age. It would be restricted to daytime, weekday hours. It would take place in existingfacilitiestand adequate staffing through SAGA is available to check ID. It would not detract from profits ofdowntown drinking spots, whose biggest earnings come during evening and weekends. It would havevirtually no effect on BPD efforts to curb drinking hassles. Western, with all its services, is like a citywithin a city. Whoever heard of a city in which there was no beer or wine? â€” Greg Hoofnagle editorialPardon for war resisters long overdue In the past few years, Vietnam deserters and draft resisters havebeen branded criminals, banished and forgotten â€” simply for being correct about an immoral, incorrectwar. It appears now this injustice will be corrected. Whether it's Ford or Carter who enacts the pardon isunimportant â€” the pardon itself is long overdue. Ford's initial amnesty program for war resisters simplyhasn't worked. The fact that he is considering a blanket pardon is evidence of this. If Ford does grantamnesty to Vietnam war resisters, he will be ending his presidency on a positive note. If nothing else,Ford has done much to restore faith in government. If he enacts a pardon, he will further this. If Forddoesn't grant amnesty for the resisters, Carter almost certainly will. Carter promised to do so in the firstweek of his presidency during his campaign. By enacting a pardon, Carter would begin his presidencyon a strong note, perhaps setting the tone for the following days of his administration. Whether it's Fordor Carter doesn't matter. By pardoning Vietnam-era war resisters, Carter or Ford will be benefittingthemselves, the American people, and most importantly, the resisters. They've suffered too much forbeing right. compost by HARRY McFARLAND The Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) hasbeen designated in two bills to set up under its authority, a committee on financial aid. In one other bill, they will be authorized to organize an Office on Tuition Adjustment. One member of the Citizen's TaskForce on Tuition commented that the CPE might be a "Super Board of Regents." This seems to be out of the character in which the CPE was organized; when they were first conceived in 1969, the termdescribing their establishment was an advisory body. It did not take long for them (a nine-membercitizens' board of directors and a staff) to become a policy-making body for higher education in the state. They have not been a very popular body, but for some reason they gained more and more power.Setbacks for the CPE were small, until it proposed a tuition hike in 1973. At that time, a small group ofmavericks (radical student-rightists) fought with such intensith that the bill and its originators werehumiliated in hearings. (One CPE staffer, while trying desperately to defend the bill, remarked that hismother in Ohio supported the bill.) The mavericks were a group of students organized under the banner of Council of Representatives and Presidents (CORP), a group of community college students. It was thefirst time CPE recommendations had not been accepted by the legislators. Added to the Office of TuitionAdjustment and financial aids committee is a CPE staffer's remarks that an organization to standardizecourse equivalencies between community colleges, state colleges and universities, should beestablished. Where would this organization reside? In the CPE, of course. To many, especially studentleaders, there has come a time for the legislators to re-evaluate the role of the CPE. No one wants asuper-agency or super board of regents, not only taking away the individual decision powers of the statecolleges, universities and community colleges, but also grabbing some of the monies allocated forhigher education. As the money problem becomes critical for the state, one of the areas that will be toldto pull in its belt will be higher education. Some of the CPE decisions have been most disturbing toadministrators, student leaders and legislators alike. The 4-4 vote that killed the recommendations togive state colleges, excluding Evergreen State College, university status, was met with extremedisappointment last year. The evidence presented to the CPE in favor of university status wasoverwhelming, so much so that most of the opposition backed off. During Friday's meeting of the CPE, avote to recommend a 14 per cent faculty salary hike failed. An earlier 10 per cent recommendation bythe CPE was allowed to stand. Western administrators have indicated 4.5% more will be needed andwill take their ideas to the legislature, as if they needed more business to occupy their time. That 10 percent recommendation would keep Western faculty members below the CPE's much-quoted seven stateaverage. If the CPE is the super agency, then faculty, administrators and students are going to findthemselves in a very precarious position. When power moves up the ladder, everyone loses. It is very hard to run down to Olympia to express one's opinion, but that it what might have to be done. front staffEDITOR: Liz Verdier MANAGING EDITOR: Tori Bonneville NEWS EDITOR: Harry McFarland PHOTOEDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Don Creery SPORTS EDITOR: Dave MiltenbergerCOPY EDITORS: Bart Potter, Michael Whitten, Jim Harrison, Greg Hoofnagle.

The stoppage was due to theschools' assistant attorney generals' requests, after conferring with school officials. All participatingschools, except Western, were stopped from paying SCC dues. The SCC is a private, non-profitorganization formed to help solve student problems on a statewide basis. Eastern, Western and CentralWashington State Colleges, Washington State University and the University of Washington participate.A suit was recently instigated by the SCC to establish students' rights to have separate legal counsel indisputes with their schools. Students and their schools now have the same council because they bothcome under state jurisdiction. A legislative liaison has been hired by the SCC to represent students'interests in this year's legislative session. Richard Montecucco, assistant attorney general, stateeducation division, said the schools' dues were stopped on the basis of a decision made four to five years ago. At that time, the attorney general's office decided in the case of a community college organizationthat if its primary function was to lobby, the use of state funds for that organization was improper. Thecommunity college group demonstrated lobbying was not its primary function, a demonstration that theSCC has not made, according to Montecucco. The basic reason the dues were stopped at Central,according to Steve Milam, its assistant attorney general, was because it appeared the purpose of theSCC was to lobbby. Milam feels the burden of proof is on the SCC, "I don't believe they have provided any evidence, [to the contrary] at least I haven't seen any." Bruce Ayers, Western associated studentspresident, feels the attorney general's office is using an arbitrary decision, based upon its owninterpretation of the activities of the SCC. "SCC is an effective organization and I think we have effectivepeople working against us," Ayers said. He said the SCC is attempting to convince the schools'assistant attorney generals that the blocking of the dues was wrong. According to Ayers, the SCC isdealing with issues that are important to students: collective bargaining, students' involvement in thedistributions of fees and the right to representation. He said he feels the burden of proof does not reston the SCC, but on the officials which ruled the dues improper. Sue Meyers, AS secretary-treasurer and SCC secretary, feels the ruling is an effort to destroy the SCC. "I don't think they have a lot to stand on,but it's a delaying tactic," she said. Western's dues were not stopped because unlike the other schools,Western's associated students have their own checking account and the check was received by the SCC before officials were aware of the attorney general's decision. Montecucco said that if the primaryfunction of the SCC was lobbying, then Western had made an improper expenditure and there would beah attempt to get the money from SCC. Trustees get budget.Olscamp gives views Trustees confident byJIM HARRISON Governor Dan Evans' recommended 1977-79 biennial budget was received withmixed feelings at Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting. College President Paul Olscamp spoke forseveral minutes outlining his appraisal of the budget and expressing dissatisfaction with some of itsprovisions, including instructional allotments. Among other things, the budget includes faculty salaryadjustments of 12 per cent and an increase in annual undergraduate resident tuition and fees from$507 to $615 or from the current $169 per quarter to $205 per quarter. Olscamp criticized thegovernor's recommendations in the area of instruction, saying they were inadequate to meetWestern's needs for the biennium. The recommended increases in both faculty staffing andoperations support funds for instruction fell short of what the college had asked for. "While [theincrease] represents an improvement in support funds, it is insufficient to meet our needs as support dollars have steadily declined in terms of buying power," said the Business and Financial Affairs officein its analysis of the recommended budget.

Instead of an altar rail, an oak-topped bar now stretches across the front of this space. To oneside, where the confessionals were located, is a kitchen. And when some of the local patrons go to usethe restrooms, they retrace the steps they took years before as altar boys, disappearing into the vestry.Behind the bar, near where the pulpit stood, Joe and Colleen Sheare move quietly back and forth, 'notsermonizing, just serving beer and conversation to their customers. The Sheares opened the Holy Smoke Tavern in the old St. Peter's Catholic Church near Kendall on Oct. 15 of last year, "after one-and-a-halfyears of fighting to get it open." Kendall is a small community in the foothills of Mt. Baker, about 20 miles east of Bellingham. lt; According to Mrs. Sheare, opposition to their venture came not from members of St. Peter's, but from other churches. The former owners sold the Sheares the land and building with theunderstanding they could do with it as they liked, she said. Several people who attended the church arenow customers of the tavern, and the priest stops in now and then, she reported. Several years ago, themembers of the congregation built a larger, more modern building on a new site, and the old church waseventually sold to the Sheares. In recent years, the once-isolated and unlikely spot for a tavern has come to be surrounded by recreational land developments. Mrs. Sheare estimates that 60 per cent of theirbusiness comes from Canadians â€” most of whom own lots in the developments. The other 40 per centcomes from permanent local residents. Inside, the building is quite small and still looks pretty much likea church, except for the bar and the two pool tables that occupy what was once the center aisle. Whenanother old country church was sold recently, the Sheares bought the pews, which were the originalpews of St. Peter's, built in 1910. They cut them in half and placed them back to back along each wallwith tables in between. Colleen Sheare proudly calls attention to a symbol of customer support â€” themoney wheel. Up on the wall behind the bar, directly in front of where the altar stood, is a circle ofbanknotes, like a fan of cards. Mrs. Sheare tells the story of how an early supporter signed a dollar billfor good luck and told them to put it up on the wall. Since then, many customers have followed suit. Now the wall is decorated with currency from several countries, including Scotland, Japan, Germany andAustralia. "There's so much luck and love up there that this place couldn't fail if it tried," Mrs. Sheare said on Christmas Eve.

L ---------- Western Front - 1977 January 11 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, January 11,1977 Western Front 7 Tenth. Avenue Preezeout â€” by STEVE ADAMS After 2million albums, the world takes to Heart 1976 was a good year for many, but any time you can go fromplaying taverns to huge halls, and selling over 2 million albums and over 1 million singles in a year, you'vehad a fairly good year. So it was for the Seattle band known as Heart. "The story is a bit phenomenal,"said the group's manager, Ken Kinnear, from his Albatross Productions office in Seattle. After selling over 45,000 albums in Canada and having three top ten singles, no major U.S. Label was willing to gamble onthe group. So their label, Mushroom Records, began pushing the album, "Dreamboat Annie," in Seattle.New sci-fi book old stuff HEART â€” One of the biggest surprises in music world for 1976. "The major FMstations, KISW, KZOK, and KZAM all gave the album a good deal of airplay and that generated the hugeamount of sales," Kinnear said. Record store owners throughout the greater Seattle area couldn't keepenough Heart albums on their shelves as people began picking up the band. From then on it was a breeze as national airplay was given to the infectious first single released in the U.S., "Crazy On You." Later, at a New Year's Eve party at the Pipeline Tavern in Seattle, several of the band on vacation over the holidays talked with enthusiasm about the success. "It took a long time, but we finally made it. Next year isgoing to be even bigger I think," the group's lead guitarist, Roger Fisher, said. 'Next year' is a 1977 tourof the world, as the group will start in Japan and eventually cover the rest of the globe before 1978. Before the holidays they were in Europe. Everyone knows that one album doesn't make a solid foundation in the fast-changing music world, and Heart knows that. "The next album is going to be dynamite, you watch.We're feeling out a couple of studios here in Seattle for possibly laying down some vocal and guitartracks, right now," Mike Fisher, Roger's brother and the group's soundman said. Heart's second albumwill be entitled "Heartless," and will be released tentively in late February. The album has taken almost ayear to complete, with "Dreamboat Annie" producer Mike Flicker producing again. Art exhibition datesset The Western Gallery's first exhibition for winter quarter will be a series of four installation piecesby Lawrence Hanson of the art department. The dates for the four installations are: "Memories ofMyself, III" â€” Jan 17 to 21. "Untitled (Reflections)" â€” Jan 17 to 21. "Arch" â€” Jan 24 to 28. by DANSMITH ALTERNATE WORLDS: THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF SCIENCE FICTION by James Gunn. Paperback, A W Visual Library [1975] $7.95. In the introduction, Gunn says that he will, in futurereferences, call his book AW, pronounced "awe" ... it should be AW as in "aw-shucks." Anyoneexpecting to find a literate treatment of major themes and developments in the field of science fiction willfind themselves tantalized to the point of rising interest only to be jilted, just at the point of fulfillment, so the author can run away with a traveling salesman. I refer to the middle chapters of the book, dealingwith the 1920's through mid-sixties. This forms a major portion of the book, but consists chiefly of adroning reference guide to obscure publications and publishers, replete with dates and lists ofstories, the significance of which are rarely pointed out. Lessons offered Fairhaven College is offeringprivate music instruction this quarter to all Western students, beginners included, according toLaurence Kee, Fair-haven faculty member. "We are offering a unique package of instruction incontemporary music that ranges from private lessons in voice, piano, guitar, flute and otherinstruments, through professional training in recording production in our new 4-track recording studio,"Kee said. Kee, an independent record producer and recording engineer, said that the facilities aregreat for recording demo tapes of groups and student songwriters, and for learning the technology ofart of professional recording. Students interested in the Fairhaven music program should see Kee atthe studio in the Fairhaven main building, or contact the Fairhaven registrar at 676-3698 for registrationinformation. MJUUPQSg meocwr â€¢nPORTS JEWELRY POTTERY CLOTHING HANDCRAFTSSALE The Marketplace in old Fairhaven Imagine, if you will, a history of American literature in whichthe chief stars are Lippincott, Doubleday, Simon, Schuster and company and you have the main thrustof this survey. Gunn wastes a good deal of space at the beginning of the book proselytizing to thealready converted in a discussion of how science fiction has entered the mainstream, but still worksup that aforementioned interest in some excellent chapters that trace science fiction themes fromancient Greece through Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. The most meaty material is when Gunn tells usthat he considers Heinlein (the John Wayne of science fiction, Van- Vogt (prince of illogicality),Sturgeon and Asimov to be the Big Four of science fiction. Despite the fuss he makes about sciencefiction as literature in the earlier chapters, such names as Ray Bradbury (the single most legitimizinginfluence in the field), Fritz Leiber, Henry Kuttner, Philip Jose Farmer and Roger Zelazny go by with barely a mention. The word illustrated should be more heavily stressed as the main appeal of this book.There are excellent reproductions of covers by such great science fiction illustrators as Hannes Bok,Em Emshwiller, Chesley Bonestell, Kelly Freas and others. Also, if you've ever wondered what yourfavorite author looks like, this book is a veritable Hall-of-Fame portrait gallery. ATTENTION ALLMUSICIANS!

Two Ferndale men, Randy Permann, 29, and Bob King, 23, have opened a non-alcoholic nightclub in their town called the Music Factory.Previously, young people have had to be satisfied with high school dances or private parties if they wereunder legal drinking age. Permann and King want to offer them an alternative. In case those past high-school age fear the atmosphere might be teen-dominated, the partners give assurance that their clubwill provide all the entertainments of a nightclub or tavern, minus only the alcohol. "We'd like to see thecollege-age people come down," Permann told the Bellingham Herald recently. Permann said the MusicFactory will have live music on weekends and recorded music the rest of the week. There are pool tablesand electronic games. Hot sandwiches and other food items will be available as soon as they get apermit from the Health Department, he said. On opening day, just before Christmas, Permann was outworking in the cold, hurrying to finish last minute preparations. Inside, at least a dozen more people werebusy finishing the stage and working on the dance floor. The nightclub occupies a portion'of the oldCarnation plant on the outskirts of Ferndale and share the building with a fish-processing operation, akarate school and an alterations shop. With the help of friends and using some recycled materials suchas lumber and electrical conduit, Permann and King have managed to convert their section of the oldplant without making a major investment. Permann estimates they have put about $10,000 into theirventure so far. Improvements included sandblasting the interior and installing wiring and restrooms. Ashe measured and sawed a weathered board to be used as a handrail on the entrance porch. RonStiebach, Ferndale, takes his shot at the Music Factory, maybe a dance or some pinball later. Permanntalked about some of the things that led to the decision to open a non-alcoholic nightclub. Pleasanton,Cal., where he lived before he moved to Whatcom County a year ago, was "really bad for drugs," he said. The street drug PCP â€” also used as an animal tranquilizer â€” was "all over the place." The memory of that kind of life style and the obvious need in Whatcom County for alternative recreation andentertainment facilities for young people just naturally suggested the idea of a place like the MusicFactory. On opening night, the clientele was mostly young and mostly local. However, , the - collegecommunity was away for the holidays and unaware of the new nightclub. The band was energetic and the dancers seemed to be enjoying themselves, as well as those gathered around the pinball machines,their faces lit up by the flashing lights. Most seemed genuinely grateful to have this new source ofentertainment. One person suggested that people liked the freedom to come and go as often as theychose, once they had paid the $2 admission fee. co E E CO o CO 00 CO c a. CO JD CO oo LL CO Q JZ .2?

Chumley entertains masses by BART POTTER Hisself-proclaimed degree, "magna cum laude from the school of hard knocks," will lead nowhereacademically, but Reverend Chumley has learned well a more important art: entertaining people. TheReverend, self-ordained minister and leader of the vaudeville troupe Alligator Revue, spoke with the Frontafter the third of his strait-jacket escape acts in Red Square Friday. His down-to-earth manner belies thefrenzy of his performance, but even when talking quietly it is unclear if he has yet' stopped acting.Chumley bears a strong resemblance to another performer, calling himself the Flaming Zucchini, who hitWestern in years past. Aren't they one and the same? The Reverend claims, with just a touch of twinklein his eye, that Zucchini is his half-brother who disappeared in a ball of flame in Eugene, Ore., two yearsago and hasn't been heard from since. The incident took place at the Eugene Renaissance Fair before"2,000 peyote-stoned hippies." "He was always making an ash of himself," Chumley said of his 'half-brother.' "You don't believe he did it? There were 2,000 witnesses. They were all stoned, though."Chumley, whose real name is Michael ("that's as much as you'll get out of me"), started his travelingshow six-and-a-half years ago, when as a "starving actor," he decided that circus-vaudeville would have amore universal appeal. Since then he has performed solo and with various troupes. He has worked withseveral members of the Alligator Revue for more than two years. The Reverend is presently working toperfect his tightrope and trapeze acts, while the Revue is rehearsing the Robot Operetta, featuring aseven-foot robot that Chumley said took years to complete. The troupe's major project, however is an"epic, two-hour swords and sorcery operetta" with a woman hero, set in the future when the sun is dyingand citizens have reverted to medieval ways. Chumley is a self-ordained minister of uncertain doctrine("I could call it neo-paganism, but I won't") and has performed two weddings. "For me to marry a couplethey must believe that the minister has the spiritual power to join them, and consummate the marriagethat night," Chumley said. "In both cases the marriage was consummated long before the ceremony."Whether in his capacity as performer or minister, Chumley said, he and his troupe are available for"weddings, funerals, parties, bar mitzvahs, divorces and hangings." Following each of his Fridayperformances, Chumley urged the assembled crowd to toss timidity away and the contents of theirpockets to him. Response was fair, but the smattering of coins collected will hardly pay the bills. For that reason, Chumley is seeking more paid bookings. He's had some success â€” performing at the SeattleCenter and with novelist Ken Kesey â€” but he would like to make the Alligator Revue a household word. "You can't make a living hither and yon, passing the hat," the Reverend said, "so we're getting moreorganized. To make it as a performer in the capitalistic world, you have to be famous. We're gettinginfamous." Your calculus class is pushing you over the edge? The Reverend Chumley shows students what to do after those men in white era's arrive.

Many of these students will discover the professor they've waited three years for has suddenlydisappeared, that the professor in the schedule has changed into a 24-year-old graduate student or thatthe 8 a.m. class they'd planned to sleep through is being taught by the most exciting professor oncampus. This quarter 198 classes will be taught by instructors who were not scheduled to teach them.Ten classes that were to be taught by faculty members will be taught by staff members, which oftenmeans graduate students. Western is not trying to cheat students, department chairmen said. It isjust that scheduling in June cannot take into account problems that arise in August or October. Houseand car workshop offered For those who feel helpless when confronted by a leaky faucet or a stubbornautomobile, Whatcom Community College offers its FOCUS on House and Car Care workshop. Thenine-week workshop will teach simple home and car repair. Classes begin Tuesday, Jan. 11, from 7 to9:30 p.m., at 3133 Bennett Drive, Belling-ham. Persons interested in the two-credit class may registeruntil Jan. 18 at a WCC instructional center, or at the first meeting. The cost is $5. "The less we haveto change our schedule, the better our program is," said Louis Barrett, chairman of the physicsdepartment. "Unfortunately, we do not know who will be on the staff until sometime in June. By then it is too late to report changes to the registrar." Hiring and resignations account for most of the schedulechanges. There are other reasons, though. Occasionally, a professor will take an overload for aquarter. When this happens the department chairman may reduce his load another quarter. A teaching assistant or another professor will teach a class for him that quarter. "A professor took an overload one winter quarter. She taught an extra night class that was needed, but not scheduled. Because ofthat her spring quarter load was reduced," said R.W. Chaney, chairman of the mathematics department. FOR RENT HEATHER RIDGE APARTMENTS: New unfurnished Deluxe Apts. on south side walking distance from cam-put. Full appl. including washer/dryer.

Sometimes the choice is between no class and a class taught by a graduate student or a local professional."Professionals from the community are often very good. They're also cheaper," said Pete Steffens,acting chairman of the journalism department. How can students avoid Tuesday morning surprises? Can teaching assistants and "uninspiring' professors be avoided? Students have several choices. They cantalk to the department chairmen or the professor scheduled to teach the class before the quarter starts. They can also check an updated schedule posted in the registration center at the beginning of each quarter. Security hunting for officer Western's Safety and Security Department is recruiting for a new campus police officer. According to the director, R. G. Peterson, the position opened following aninternal reorganization and reassignment of duties in the safety division of the department. Deadline for applications is January 17. Following submission of applications, individuals will be sent to theUniversity of Washington at department expense for various physical tests. Tests will include physical agility and coordination, circulatory recovery, body fat content, and physical strength. Petersonsaid the tests are evaluated according to the individual's body size and weight. "This way, a five footfemale has the same chance as a six foot, 250 pound male," Peterson said. Applicants passingthese tests will go before an oral board, the make-up of which has not been decided. Peterson said itwill probably consist of representatives from Whatcom County Sheriff's Department, Bellingham Police,and various agencies of the college. The oral board will send three finalists to Peterson to make the final choice. The person chosen will then be sent for a complete physical examination. If that person failsthis, one of the other two will be selected, until the position is filled.

Nonetheless, the downhill enthusiasts, captured here by Front photoeditor Bill Slater, appeared to be enjoying the crisp mountain air and the spectacular Cascade panorama despite icy slopes and the lack of fresh snow.

The Viks downed Northern Montana 104-89 and NorthwestChristian College 63-33. Western opened conference play last Monday with a 72-70 loss to OregonCollege of Education in Monmouth, Ore. The 104-point output against Northern Montana was the bestoffensive showing by a Western team since the 1974-75 season when the Vikings beat SouthernOregon State College 107-72. In holding Northwest Christian to 33 points, the Viks had their bestdefensive performance since the 1962-63 season when they squelched St. Martin's College 45-23.Against Central, the Vikings came within a whisker of beating a team many figure to fight it out, alongwith Eastern and Oregon Institute of Technology, for the Evergreen Conference title.

Dan Burch has 15 plus sixassists and Greg Smith hit for 15 along with seven rebounds. Western trailed Eastern by only 37-33 athalftime, but a blistering Eagle fast break, triggered by sharp outlet passing, broke the game open in thesecond half. Smith, with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and Birkle, also with 18, led the Viking scorers.Randall was not displeased with his team's weekend showing, as the Viking showed strong reboundingand a maturity that was lacking in early season. "I figured we would have a pretty tough time at thebeginning with such a young team," he said. "But now we're over the hump and I look for a strong finish." The Viks, now 2-8 for the season, meet Eastern Oregon State College in Carver Gym Friday in their firsthome game since Dec. 1, after which 10 of Western's next 16 games will be at home.
