Dan Evans will supporthigher tuition and increased financial aid for college students, he told student body presidents Friday.His proposed increase would raise Western's tuition rate to $188 a quarter. Evans also reaffirmed hissupport for" students on Boards of Trustees and WashPIRG, and discussed faculty salaries andcollective bargaining, according to Stephen Barrett, Western^ Associated Students president. TheGovernor had a "positive attitude" toward students, but noted severe state budget-making problemswould be the top priority of the legislative session that began Monday, said Kevin Ryan, chairman ofCentral Washington State College's Student Board of Control. Tuition will probably rise 32 per cent overthe 1971-72 rate, according to state analysts (see sidebar). About $16 million would be generated bythe proposed increased tuitions, Evans said at the three hour luncheon. About $3 million of this could be used to increase student financial aid. The rest would be needed to pay for salary, utility and postageincreases and other costs. Faculty salaries should be raised, Evans told the student presidents, butthe money may not be available for more than a five per cent increase. "The consequences of no wageincreases could disrupt campuses very much," Barrett noted. Faculty collective bargaining may be amajor issue this session, with hearings already being held. Evans said he does not personally supportfaculty collective bargaining, but it may be inevitable. Students should have the right to participate,Evans added, if collect-jive bargaining becomes a reality at their schools. Student Trustees are also fully supported by the governor, according to Barrett. Last session, Evans appointed a 28-year-oldWenatchee Valley College student to Central's Trustees. The State Senate refused to vote for oragainst confirmation, and the student is now speaking and voting actively on Central's governing body,Ryan said. Barrett said Evans "seemed appalled" when he learned that Western Trustees do not havean automatic , agenda item for student representatives, as Eastern and Central Trustees do. Toreaffirm his support of WashPIRG the Governor promised to write the Trustees at Western and theRegents at the two universities where it is being most actively considered. Barrett and other studentpresidents are currently organizing information and lobbying efforts for the session, expected to last30 to 60 days. Cooperative neighbors aid Lummi flood victims by GARY ABRAMAVITCH BERTRAM Itwas still pitch black in the cold, wet streets of Marietta Village when I was forced to leap from acomfortable dream to our front porch in time to stop our three dogs from tearing a leg off somescreaming, fist-pounding neighbor. "Hurry you guys," the voice warned. "The river's flooding, and yourtrailer's floating away. You've only got a few minutes to save what you can." "My God!" I thought. "I've gotphoto negs stashed in nearly every drawer in the house." After falling out of bed, I tried to rescue thenegatives before even remembering to call off the dogs, but my *ol lady got to the door in time. "Gadzukes, the water is already within a few feet of our porch. . ." . I'd been told that a super-high tide wasdue, but there was no way the Nooksack River was gonna rise enough to flood over that eight-foot dikeâ€” or so I thought until I sloshed my way across the street. The water must have already been comingover the main branch of the Nooksack. The Lummi families who live in the fishing village must have a footof water inside their homes by now. Since the water wasn't quite over our top doorstep yet, I wanted torescue what I could from our trailer. I knew it wasn't floating away, but it is in a bad place. My littlecockapoo who was dog-paddling behind me seemed to be enjoying the filthy new lake. I noticed thatmost of the neighbors had tied their smallest boat to the front porch, but all we'ye got is an old canvaskayak. Afterwards, I got my old kayak out of a nearby shack and tried paddling it home with my dogbalancing on the stern. Unfortunately it sank twice before getting there. I'd apparently forgotten tofiberglass a few punctures.^ ended up just stashing it inside my step van. O.K., so we'll swim out of hereif we have to. After we lifted the last of our house furniture onto blocks I grabbed a couple of cameras andwent wading up the street. Marilyn tried driving our car to the hill behind Marietta, next to the elementaryschool, so we'd have brakes when we headed to town. Water was crossing the intersection of MarineDrive and Rural Avenue, and was beginning to wash away the edge of the road. [Continued on pg. 2.]Collective bargaining urged by HARRY McFARLAND and SUKIDARD ARIAN The collective bargainingissue will have to be solved in this legislative session, or strikes may be the only alternative left for highereducation faculty. So says Maurice Foisy, a member of the Faculty Coalition, who reiterated thetestimony of others before the House Higher Education subcommittee Friday at Western. Foisyquoted polls showing overwhelming support of collective bargaining. Now, he said, all public employees,except college and university faculty are covered by collective bargaining legislation. Mark Wicholas,American Federation of Teachers local president, said faculty do not have contracts, and the conditionsof employment are in a handbook approved by the Board of Trustees. He also said there are notsatisfactory grievance procedures, that a sustained loss of teaching positions is caused by theconversion of the positions to administrative slots, and there is a lack of administrative accountability.Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said a good collective bargaining billshould have "clear, precise language," but that "the right to bargaining does not mean the differences can be solved." A former Council of Faculty Representative memberr, Marvin Olmstead, said the collectivebargaining bill introduced by Representative Richard King (Everett) would be acceptable, but that studentrepresentatives engaged in the process may be a hindrance. College President Paul J. Olscamp saidrecently at an Associated Students board meeting that he would rather not have collective bargaining, but if the faculty could not get what "They need and deserve," then he might support it. The subcommittee,chaired by Representative Art Moreau (D-Bellingham), also heard testi-money on the state Council onPostsecondary Education (CPE) Master Plan from Olscamp and CPE staff member Bill Chance. CPEhas drawn up a plan for the future of higher education in the state. After receiving input from across thestate, the council has reviewed the first 98 of the 201 proposals, striking, modifying and combining someof them, according to Chance. Olscamp expressed satisfaction with the actions of the council at thispoint, although the major portion of Western's objections to the plan have not yet been reviewed by thecouncil. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Neighbors pitch in as flood hits hard [Continued from pg. 1.] A dump truck had just arrived and was about to empty a load of sand on the paved roadway where it couldmost conveniently be shoveled in the form of a pseudo-sandbag dam. Art Humphreys, a neighbor andlong-time veteran at trying to help save both his trailer and his village, began directing the half dozen other Lummi volunteers. A half hour later, a second load of sand was finally dumped, and everyone begantaking turns shoveling. The water was nearly a foot deep where it was crossing the road, but the dambegan slowing it considerably. Yet, we all knew the high tide would soon raise the river and it would enter Marietta from downriver where there is no dike. After shoveling for half an hour, I remembered about mystinkin' final exam at Western which had probably already begun. Double bummer! We simply had nochoice but to abandon our home and village before the flood reached its peak. The water out front of theTribal Center for the Marietta Band of the Nooksack Tribe was nearly waist deep as we headed for ourcar. My legs were mighty tired by the time we reached dry land. Governor recommends 32 per centincrease of tuition at all levels There is little chance college tuition rates will not be raised in theupcoming state supplemental budget. With the inflation plus primary education financing problems,lawmakers may reduce state appropriations to colleges and universities while asking students to paymore, Western President Paul Olscamp said recently. This trend is reflected in the tuitionrecommendations of the advisory Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) staff and the Governor'sexpected budget proposal. CPE's and Gov. Evans' recommendations are to raise tuition at the four statecolleges to $564 a year, at the 26 community colleges and technical institutes to $330 a year, and at thetwo universities to $684 a year. This is a 32 per cent tuition increase in tuition from the rate set fouryears ago, CPE Finance Coordinator Denis Curry said Friday. The amounts CPE and Evans willrecommend are designed to raise money while re-establishing the 1971-72 tuition ratios between thethree groups of higher learning institutions. Also, Curry said, graduate students now pay an extra $60 per quarter, and CPE will recommend this be increased to $81. Veterans, whose tuitions were frozen at the1971 level, may be required to pay 85 per cent of the new tuition amounts at state-supported collegesand universities, he added. Last session, the Governor recommended raising university and communitycollege tuitions, but not state college tuitions. .This plan â€” which did not pass the legislature â€”responded to state colleges' complaints that they were relatively overpriced, i.e., that community colleges were much less expensive while universities were not much more expensive, Curry said. But recentlystate college enrollments have risen, so the new recommendations provide tuition increases for everyone. SANDBAGS AGAINST THE WATER â€” Lummi volunteers battle the flooding Nooksack. Our dogs werecompletely sopped, and they stank horrendously while begging for us to let them in the car. We had nochoice, actually. On the way to Western, we heard the radio announcer say that much of Ferndale hadalready gone under. When we waded back through the cold water that night, we were mighty grateful tofind that the flood had stopped a couple of inches shy of entering our house. It wasn't until the secondnight of the flood that we learned where the evacuation center was. After the Scottish Lodge evacuationcenter had been evacuated, we had quite a few roommates at the Broadway Christian Church. We wereprovided with warm blankets, soft cots, plenty to eat and a dry place to study for our final exams. Ourdogs were probably as glad as anyone to finally return to our home, after camping for several days in theback of our car. An unexpected Christmas present by LOUIE PHILLIPS Christmas is a hassle. You goto school 90 miles from your family home. Finals Week is no time to shop, and you wouldn't want tocarry your packages home anyway. You see, I'm a member of that subculture which is foolish enough to travel by way of thumb â€” and unfortunately by way of foot alttbo often. My parents live in a Seattlesuburb at the north end of Lake Washington. There is transit service to Seattle, but it's only on the mainroad. Sometimes I take the bus, most often I hitchhike to the city limits. In all cases, I have to walk tothe main highway. Mid-December is always cold, but thank God it wasn't raining as I went out foranother day of Christmas shopping. At school, I'm always rushed. So, you see, I'm not inclined to walkrapidly when I'm not here. I saunter. Kind of shuffle my feet in a haphazard way. I jaywalk when I feelthere might be a better view from the other side of the street. My left foot trips over my right. My eyesstare at the last leaf twirling on an otherwise barren limb. I smile at kids pointing toy guns at me.Sometimes I feel they must think me very odd. "An adult without a car?" It's about a mile to the highway.I was walking in my laid-back manner â€” and then I saw a little white card. It was a BankAmericard.Blue and white but worth its weight in gold. I compared the signature on the card with nearby mailboxesbut none matched. There are no instructions on the card to tell the finder what to do with it. There is,however, an address and phone number for its owner to report it missing. I thought this odd. How couldone report the loss if they lost the number with the card? Add to this the absence in the phone book of a BankAmericard listing. For a moment I thought it might be nice to see the Swiss Alps in winter. I couldgo to the airport, catch the first plane to Geneva and they'd never catch me. Instead, I slipped the cardinto my wallet and continued on my adventure to the city's downtown department stores. It's not that I'mso honest. I'll lie whenever I can see an advantage in it. The next morning I called the number on theback of the card. I talked first to a secretary in BankAmericard's investigation office. From the tone of hervoice, I sensed she had far fewer finders of credit cards than she had losers. Then she gave me FrankJones, head of the office. We discussed where I found the card, how it had been stolen, if I had foundanything else and how to return it to his office. Then came the surprise. "Cut it in half, Lou, and send itto me in a letter with your name and address," Jones said, "and we'll send you a $25 reward." Trusteespass School of Education The School of Education became a reality last week, when the Board ofTrustees unanimously passed the proposal during their meeting in Fair-haven Auditorium. Inpresenting the proposal, College President Paul J. Olscamp said it had administrative approval withrecommendations that a roles and missions statement be developed. Acting Vice President forAcademic Affairs Loren Webb said the Associate Dean for Treacher Education Arnold Gallegos isdeveloping the statement with the education faculty. The statement will outline the ways the schoolwould interrelate with the various colleges at Western. The roles and missions statement will be given to Webb, who will present it to the Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC). :â€¢â€¢;; Gallegossaid the school was a "significant step forward" that "finally gives a total, overall concept for teachereducation at Western." The school will be implemented in February, when an acting dean for theschool will be appointed. ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, January 13,1976 Western Front 3 Shorts gt; Sidelights WashPIRG fate decided The fate ofWashPIRG will be decided today at the College Services Council meeting in Old Main 320 at 4 p.m. Themeeting is open; all are invited to attend.

Security men now commissioned officers byERDXMAGNUSON Next time you're caught siphoning gas by campus security, don't compare it tobeing caught by the night watchman of a candy company. All nine-full-time members of Western'ssecurity force are now commissioned officers. Seven were commissioned by President Paul J.Olscamp Dec. 11; the remaining two were commissioned Wednesday. "The main reason for this step isto protect officers from legal action when it is found necessary to detain a suspect," said R.G. Peterson, director of Campus Safety and Security. Previously, the only legal authority officers had to hold asuspect was in cases where there was reason to believe a felony had been committed. Every citizen hasthis same right, he said. Officers will not carry firearms, Peterson said, and the status of part-timemembers of the force will remain unchanged. State law requires that all peace officers are graduates of apolice academy. As commissioned officers, full-time officers are now on an equal footing with those ofother colleges and universities in the state. The change means that campus security can legally detainthose suspected of committing a misdemeanor, such as vandalism or petty theft, Peterson said.Previously, if someone apprehended by security officers decided to leave before Bellingham Policearrived, the only alternatives were to let him go or tail him until police caught up with him, he added.Campus residents will not be affected by the changes, Peterson said. "The vast majority of thosecommitting robberies on campus are not members of the college community and regard Western as anice ripe plum," he said. Now that Campus Security officers can make arrests, Peterson believes theywill be seen as a greater threat and act as a deterrant to crime. Board passes faculty allocationsProposed part-time winter quarter faculty allocations for seven academic areas was unanimouslyapproved at last Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting in Fairhaven Auditorium. Due to an increase infall student enrollment above that projected by the state, the Office of Program Planning and FiscalManagement (the governor's budget office) has authorized the expenditure of up to $35,000 toincrease faculty allocations for winter and spring quarters. After consultation with various facultycommittees and the administrative staff, College President Paul J. Olscamp and Acting Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs Loren Webb recommended to the board that allocations be divided into part-timeassignments to meet demands caused by increases in student enrollment during winter quarter.According to Webb, Western's additional authorized allocations would cover only three full-timepositions. The areas receiving positions will be: English (composition); journalism; Fairhaven; speechpathology and audiology; technology (photography); home economics; art; business administrationand economics. The Allocations Advisory Committee will meet this quarter to examine allocations forspring. Why the hassle? BY LIZ RUST Western is funded according to enrollment projections made forthe upcoming quarter by the Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management. Formerly, whenenrollment exceeded state projections the school was allowed to apply the extra local revenue fromstudent fees to its instructional budget. However, a new funding contract with the State, limits the abilityto use any extra additional funds, according to a memo from College President Paul J. Olscamp andActing Vice President for Academic Affairs Loren Webb. The projection number is given a leeway of oneand one-nalt per cent. Under the new contract, if actual enrollment goes beyond or beneath that margin,the extra revenue from student fees goes back to the state's general fund. This situation aids the school if the final total is within the one and one-half per cent margins. However, if the figure is more than one and one-half per cent above the projection, as was the case in fall 1975, Western does not receive extrafunding beyond one-and-a-half per cent. According to Webb, the added student enrollment for fall wasseven per cent, while the added local funding was only the allowable one and one-half per cent. can 676-1304 for FREE DELIVERY min. order $ 3 . 0 0 â€” 2 mile radius from VENUS PIZZA Italian Dinners,Pizzas, Drinks delivered to your door! ---------- Western Front - 1976 January 13 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, January 13,1976 Opinion I need a few more bucks Henry Jackson "Hello,operator.

Smith chairperson, Group 47 making comeback by HARRY McFARLANDSenator Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash.) in an interview with his biographer Bill Prochnau recalled aparticularly gory bull fight in Juarez, Mexico. The Senator, sitting in the front row, became sick when thematador killed the bull. Later in the interview, when the subject was Vietnam, Jackson told of a visit to the front lines, where the arms and legs of men Uttered the area. He did not feel the revulsion of a bull dyingin an arena. Prochnau asked why and recalled, "After a long pause, Jackson replied. In a voice filled withcompassion and perhaps even tenderness, yet with the great weight of his responsibilities, he said,'Because killing the bull was not necessary.' " Surely, Jackson has realized the futility of Vietnam. Killing men in a war to settle political differences is as necessary as killing a bull for entertainment. Manyconsider Jackson the top Democratic presidential candidate. That's not impressive in a race for theDemocratic nomination comparable to the starting gate at Belmont. In a report by the Citizens Look atCongress, a Ralph Nader organization, Jackson was shown to be the liberal politician's nightmare,because he strongly supports the military-industrial complex and holds a hard-line defense posture.McGovern aide Frank Mankiewicz said a 1972 Jackson presidential nomination would have made a fourthparty inevitable. Considering what that election gave us, that seems to be a naive statement from theman who wrote "Perfectly Clear: Nixon from Whittier to Watergate." Jackson's regaining of nationalrecognition (he was John Kennedy's first choice for vice president in 1960) has been a long road. He wascloser to the presidency in 1960 than he is now. This comeback is typical of Jackson. He hasconsistently been a hard-worker, who has brought federal money home to his constituents as any goodSenator should. Conservationists have a friend in Jackson, who is the only elected official to win theSierra Club's John Muir Award for Conservation (1969J. He also has won the National WildlifeFederation's Legislator of the Year Award (1970) and the Bernard Baruch Conservation Award (1969). Hisonly non-conservation stand of major importance was his support of the Supersonic Transport. In theNader group's report, Jackson survived with a few minor scrapes and bruises, but without loss of limb orportions of the skin. That is amazing for a man whom someone asked about, "Can you see that man asPresident?" To which came the answer, "No." Mainly because men dying doesn't make him sick.

HenryJackson, D-Washâ€ž gave a "non-political speech" at the Bellingham Elks Club Dec. 27. The occasionwas a breakfast in honor of a new wing for St. Joseph's Hospital. Editor, Western Front: I am writing inresponse to the two letters pertaining to abortion in the Friday, Nov. 21 Front. My purpose in writing isnot to preach or to set up clear guidelines on the rights and wrongs in this issue. I recognize that on theabstract level â€” ethically and morally there may be black and white boundaries: in a general, idealsense, we can speak of abortion being absolutely right or wrong. However, on the human, individuallevel, the issue is uot so clear cut. Each person must finally decide for himself, and only God knows allthe tensions and considerations that enter into the decision. Therefore, it is not my place to passjudgment. However, I would like to present another viewpoint on this issue and facts and ideas which are most often ignored. It may be true that a woman has a right to do whatever she chooses with her ownbody. But to go so far as to say she has a right to infringe upon the rights of another individual â€” thehuman fetus â€” is an entirely different thing. Do we really doubt that the fetus is a human being? Twoyears ago when scientists- were able to fertilize a human egg and see it through the initial stages ofdevelopment, the papers headlined: "Human Life in a Test Tube!" Human life in a glass tube but acancerous growth in a woman's womb? Many of us are willing to allow that the fetus is human, but deny it is a person with human rights (as the January Article accurate; information given misleading Editor,Western Front: I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Front and Bob Slone for the accuratearticle in the Nov. 21 issue entitled, "Social violations by students should be handled by the courts."This article described a basic underlying principle of the Student Rights and Responsibilities TaskForce proposal. That principle being that 18-year-olds are legally considered responsible for theiractions and should be entitled to all adult rights, including the right to due p ocess of law. I made onestatement that I feel needs to be corrected. Academic probation is determined solely by grade pointaverage and becomes part of the permanent academic record. Due to some misinformation, I statedthat in the past the college judicial system had used academic probation as a form of disciplinary action. This is not so. It is important for the student to know any disciplinary action taken by the collegenever becomes part of the permanent academic record. However, the college judicial system hasacted capriciously when imposing disciplinary action on students. For example, a student, onceaccused of a drug code violation, was arbitarily sentenced to keep their room clean for a given periodof time. What disciplinary action a college judicial body may take is not defined in current college policy and is left up to the discretion of the judicial body. As a result of this lack of guidelines, prudent judicialaction has not been forthcoming through existing judicial bodies. The educational value of such afutile process obviously lacks any substance. Bob Anderson Student Services RepresentativePatriotic commission reaffffiiir ms revolutionary origins, ideals Editor, Western Front: The People'sBicentennial Commission, having nearly 20 interested people, has been officially recognized by theAssociated Students as a campus organization, and plans to ^LBA| gt; investigate (sic) its officespace Thursday at 4:30 p.m. in Viking Union 224. The objectives of this organization are twofold.First, the commission aims to reacquaint people with America's revolutionary origins and thedemocratic principles espoused by our founders 200 years ago. And, in a modern context, it isprepared to inform people of the need to apply those principles to the economic institutions inAmerica today. The commission's function is to advance these two objectives by providing specificeducational materials and by suggesting social action programs that can be utilized by students,faculty, campus organizations and academic departments. Come and join the patriots in the Spirit of 76. Roger Hardesty Coordinator 1972 Superior Court decision reflected). How do we justify labeling human beings as non-persons in our own self-interest? The idea that we should allow abortion by l aw toprotect the woman who is pregnant because of rape is simply misguided. Very few women becomepregnant through rape. In the U.S. last year out of 23,000 reported rape victims, only 9 becamepregnant. If even those few chose ~to abort, I could not pass judgment. I do know one woman whobecame pregnant because of rape. Though unmarried she had the baby, and has no problems loving it. It is not the child's fault that he/she conceived. However, to say we need abortion on demand to protect these women is simply an excuse. Since when do our laws protect such small minorities? It is truethat pregnancy takes time out of one's life, and may interrupt a career. It's hot as though you had to beflat on your back for nine months, however. Are we that impatient, and that selfish in today's world thatwe can't wait 4 or so months? As a matter of fact, technically a woman can take only six weeks offfrom work to have a baby, and most employers cannot fire you or discriminate against you simplybecause you are pregnant. There is always a possibility of pregnancy when persons engage in sexualactivity. Perhaps we must learn to be more responsible and more willing to deal with theconsequences of our actions. It is true that many children who are born are unwanted and the parentunable to care for them adequately (whatever that means). Oh,, but there are so many people who would love to have these children; there are people even now who must wait three years to adopt a child. And though it may be true also that this is an ugly world, what right have we to be rid of him/her to protecthim/her from what we judge will be an awful life? Finally, in response to the person who said that menmust be careful about how much they say on this issue: it is true that a man will never have to makethis decision and must not force a woman to make a certain decision â€” because he has no idea whatit is really like to face pregnancy, a break in life, a great new responsibility, etc. ' . However, a man does have a right to defend another human individual to whom injustice is being done. To say he can't is likesaying a person cannot protest against war or hunger because he will never be a soldier or be starving.'There is a wider issue involved here than that of woman's rights â€” the issue of the rights of theunborn child. Also, the child is not only the woman's child, it is the father's also. He has a responsibilitytowards the child and towards the mother too. I realize that this is a broad and complicated issue. I feel that many abortion advocates have not clearly acknowledged many of the pro-life arguments. Thank you for the opportunity to share my views.

Strindberg's faltering light drama, viewed by areceptive, fair-sized audience in Old Main Theatre, was a graduate thesis production directed by StuartPaxton. The play's Eastery themes of suffering, patience and the perils of pride were intertwinedallegorically with the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. The story takes place three days beforeEaster, in a small town in southern Sweden. The stilted script correlates the guilt and struggles of theHeyst family with the doom and subsequent glory of Christ's account. Frequently quoting the Bible andold proverbs, the script often sounds like a rambling religious cliche, which is appropriate for its intent,but neither interesting or intense enough to be moving. Working with a script that seemed disjointed andhard to grasp, the characters did not appear sturdv or uniform. The performances of Ethel Raulston andDavid H. Locey lacked depth and consistency, but it is difficult to discern whether the deficiency was inthe script or their renditions. The sensitive, but almost too sugary sweet Elenora, was portrayed byMarilyn McLean, who gave one of the few consistent and fresh interpretations of the evening. The play did relate a strong sense of discomfort, anxiety and emptiness in which the characters were relentlesslycaught up. A struggling surge for release mounted throughout the performance but was only partiallyresolved by the climax, which left this writer touched, but not satisfied. Stuart Paxton's direction of thisdisjointed drama was a good effort, which could have been more effective had the characters been given a more secure vehicle to carry them.

Poems of peace, love and war were interspersed with his comments about hislife, writings and observations. Amichai was born in Germany in 1924 and resettled in Israel at the age of 21. He fought in the Jewish Brigade of the British army in World War II and in each of Israel's wars. Hisfeelings on war are reflected in his poetry as well as his religious background which he said has helped to shape his way of writing. "Poetry is about everything in your life," he said. "Writing poetry is the mostconservative and the most avant-garde thing together." A poem about a mother soothing her son to sleep he called a kind of "cradle song," describing it as being both wounding and healing at the same time."Every poem is a kind of cradle song," he said. "Poets must stick to reality." Amichai read a poem ofpeace first in English and then Hebrew, Of love poems he said, "A happy love poem is boring. All you can say is I love you, I love you, I love you, over again." A few lines from one selection read, "I am a manalone. I am not a democracy." He kept the audience laughing with comments like "sometimes I hateliving in a town (Jerusalem) where every stone is holy" and "Hebrew is a poor language for cursing. Youhave to use Russian or Arabic." Amichai was one of five guests of honor in Vienna this fall at the annualmeeting of P.E.N., an international literary society. He has written four volumes of poetry, two novels, abook of plays and a book of short stories. Jazz artists featured in winter concerts Jazz fans are in luckthis quarter, being graced with two shows this quarter that were not included in the Winter quartercalendar of events.

McCoy Tyner Sextet will appear in the Concert Hall a month later, March7. For the last two years, "Downbeat" has selected Tyner as Jazz pianist of the year and he has alsobeen "Downbeat's" Man of the Year and Jazz Group Leader of the Year.

Presented by Associated Students Program CommissionCommunity Arts Resource Center o bright spot for Northwest artists byRICKDONKER The coordinationof local art, artists and art resources is the goal of Bellingham's Community Arts Resource Center. Thecenter is an incorporated non-profit organization with a three fold purpose: to provide income to seniorcitizens who teach folk art classes; to provide information on art seminars, art scholarships and otherartists in the area; to provide workshops and classes in all aspects of art. One feature of the center is an archive devoted to local artists that features information and samples of their work. "We are trying toorganize and coordinate local artists so we can share and compare information and interests," saidConnie Bonifas," one of the resident artists working at the art center. The center will be offering classesin folk art and fine art classes that will include such areas as woodcarving, spinning, basketweaving, doll-making and leather work. The center is also offering in-depth workshops on the business aspects of art.Resume writing portfolio presentation and bookkeeping are some of the topics that will be covered in theclass. The classes will also feature guest speakers with specializations in the specific workshop areas."We would like to present enough information and ideas to the artists so they can become self-sufficient.Too many good artists develop their talent in a specific area, like Bellingham, and then feel they have togo to the big city to make their work pay," said Bonifas. Other features of the resource center includebrochures and pamphlets on a number of art related subjects, sources for finding art materials, grantand scholarship information, as well as books and reference materials. "We want to provide one placewhere the artist can go to get all the information on any art related subject," Bonifas said, "as well asprovide an educational institution for people who would like to learn and get involved in art." So far thecenter has had enthusiastic support from the business and art community and they are hoping to buildand expand if possible.

Coming from Yakima, I have met few Hare Krishnas, liberal extremists or gay people. The situation at Western is quite different. One night while talking to Bill, a friend of mine, the conversation drifted to the gay world. Bill surprised mewhen he suddenly remarked, "You see . . . I'm gay." I wasn't repulsed, only a little shocked and veryfascinated. Here was an opportunity to discover what makes a gay person tick. We agreed to meet a few nights later to discuss his perceptions on gay life. Bill is tall, slender and soft-spoken, with a crop ofrich brown hair and rather penetrating brown eyes. He implied throughout our chat that gay relationshipsand straight relationships are alike Having sex with another man, Bill said, is like a heterosexualencounter. "To me it's fulfilling and pleasurable, and that basically is what sex is about, isn't it?" Heemphasized, though, that he doesn't care for a purely physical relationship. "Obviously, I'm drawnphysically to a man," he said, but he added that he looks for an emotional experience. However, Bill does have physical preferences "I prefer masculine men to feminine men . . . but sometimes I'll be attracted to a man just for his personality." Bill said he first became aware of his desires for men in the ninth grade.A little reservedly, he recalled that he was arrested that year when police discovered he had been mailing suggestive notes to a man. "What it boils down to is that I was arrested for soliciting," he explained. As a result, Bill's parents discovered his situation. They since have been concerned, he said, because "mythree other brothers are all Music prof to perform Composer-pianist Edwin La- Bounty of music facultywill present the first concert of the quarter 8:15 p.m. Thursday in die Concert Hall. He will lead threeother musicians in a presentation of "Music from His Circle," a group of compositions by La- Bounty,some of his friends and Western students. 'normal'." he added very wryly that one of his brothers is"almost an alcoholic." After Bill became aware of his sexuality he voraciously read everything he couldfind on homosexuality. "I was confused and really upset to read about how awful I was supposed to be."Since Bill doesn't seem to fit any social stereotypes of a "fag," he really hasn't been teased about beingfeminine except by some "little macho brats pestering me because I would rather play with girls." Billwas especially indignant about contact sports. "I don't understand them," he said, "they make no senseto me." His pastimes, however, do not show femininity. Non-contact sports, movies and symphonies are his favorite hobbies, indicating normal tastes. Bill said he has told few people of his sexuality, In fact, hehas always been nervous about "opening up." He admires students in Western's Gay People's Alliancebecause they are open. He said wistfully, "I wish I could be like that." Bill looked back to his first gayencounter during the summer of 1973. "I first went to a theater that showed 'all male films for the matureadult,' then I went to a gay street dance and hit the bars with a gay friend." Most of Bill's bar-life centersin the Seattle area. He mentioned Shelley's Leg, the Golden Horseshoe and the Trojan Shield as amonghis favorites. "I enjoy the Trojan Shield the most," he said. "They let lots of people in and the dance flooris always packed." But gay bars aren't all a bed of roses. "I find gay bars very cliquish, and I really feelsorry for someone who is just coming out, because until you are accepted it can be lonely," Bill said.Bill is critical of people who come to the bars just for a "pickup." Lots of people do, he said, but once aperson is accepted "the people are friendly and become great friends." Bars are not the only place to "get a little action," though. Bill frowned on the method used in restrooms. He explained that a gay guy in astall will move his foot toward the edge of the next stall. If the guy in that stall is interested, he'll move his foot over so that it touches the other guy's foot. At that time "they make arrangements" or perform oralsex in one of the stalls. Very little, if any, emotion is involved, Bill said. He considers restrooms "a tackyresort." When I asked Bill about the language gay people use, he looked at me wonderingly. "I've neverheard any real language that can be called exclusively gay language," he said. "Maybe in less liberaltimes it was necessary, but now I think it's ridiculous." He said terms like "drag queen" aren'tnecessarily gay words. "Drag Queen is just the best term for a man dressed as a woman." Toward theend, our conversation got a little more serious. I wanted Bill's reaction to accusations that gay peopleare mentally ill, bad influences and "reprobates." He seemed to weigh his answer behind a doubtfulbrow. "I often wonder if they (the accusations) aren't true," Bui responded. "When a gay person is notallowed to express himself, he may have emotional problems. A lot of gay people are disturbed; beinghappy is just a front they put on," he continued. Bill said he feels much more at home with gay people."Going to gay bars I can be with people who feel pretty much as I do. A lot of gay friends are true friendsin time of need." Yet, Bill saw little distinction between gays and straights. Even though he claimed hewould never want to be heterosexual, he probably best summed his feelings when he told me, "I knowgay people that are positively repulsive, but I also know some straight people that are equally repulsive."htbbyhive arts, crafts and models downtown Bellingham 111 E.

The new brand of activism is a blend of "cultural revolution," a women'sstudy group, and a campaign for a public interest research group. Unlike the late 1960s and early 1970s, when anti-war protesters frequently congregated in Red Square, 1976's gatherings there are religious innature. At 8:45 a.m., twice-weekly during fall quarter and occasionally this quarter, Bill Waring strumsan acoustic guitar as approximately 60 people gather around him to sing hymns in the square. "I couldn't say whether we're activists," Waring said one day last quarter after such a gathering dispersed. "Thereason we come out here is to sing praise to our Lord and have time together with our brothers andsisters." In 1971, the year the morning gatherings first began, Waring says, "my roommate tells me itwas a pretty turbulent time" at Western. On Nov. 1 that year, according to the Nov. 2, 1971 Front, anestimated 750 students gathered in Red Square to protest the then-pending five megaton nuclearunderground explosion on Amchitka Island, off Alaska's coast. Exactly 18 months earlier, the Frontreported that on May 5, 1970 an estimated 2,000 students gathered in Red Square to protest the killingsof four students at Kent State and the Cambodian invasion. What's happened to student activism thataccompanied the "turbulent" late 1960s and early 1970s? Views held by a dozen students, surveyed, by the Front recently showed that three students equated the word "activism" wfth violence. Four studentsin the survey said, student activism may no longer be necessary because college officials have becomemore sensitive to student needs as manifested by an improved college curriculum. These views areunderscored by the fact that there are only two campus-based political organizations at Western â€” theAsian Political Union and the Bellingham Young Democrats, according to records at the A.S. ActivitiesOffice. There are those, however, that say activism isn't dead, but instead manifested in different socialand political forms. "The Cultural Revolution" One of these is a Fairhaven student who prefers thepseudoname Jim.

Jim says the demonstrations,while showing the ability of people to organize as a collective unit, "were more of an exercise thananything else." They fell short, he said, because, despite demonstrations, the underground nuclear testand the war proceeded. Today, Jim says he "and I suspect others" are now "more involved in a solidrevolution than back then â€” a cultural revolution involved with the spiritual aspects of human beingsrather than structural organizations. "I'm not so involved (today) in politics," Jim said. "In fact, I'd ratherrun or fortify my situation than be involved in any type political movement." Women's Study GroupAmong the approximate five campus women organizations dealing with academic and social subjects isa weekly woman's study group that began at Fairhaven last fall. The study group's coordinator, seniorDebby Gay, said the initial idea of the study group was "to get women together to discuss the differentfeminist groups within the movement" from the 1860s to the 1970s. Gay said the 11 to 17 member groupbegan its contemporary study with Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique, which Gay said helped spawn the National Organization of Women (NOW). NOW, according to Gay, is a "very liberalmovement" concerned with changing laws and making women equal." It was NOW's liberalism, Gay said, which gave birth to the radical feminist movement between 1965 and 1970. Radical feminists placedmore emphasis than NOW "on sexism, personal life, and sexual roles," Gay said. "For this group ofwomen (radical feminists), the enemy became 'men' as a caste." "It's important," said Gay, "to look atthe differences (between feminists), to see where we're the same so we can support each other'sbattles." Wash-PIRG Organizer Junior Steve McCallister says he's been politically active ever sincehe.was a teenager. In 1971, however, McCallister said he dropped out of activist circles "becauseactivists had violence directed toward them, not by them." "The first idea of activism is getting thingsdone," said McCallister, today one of 30 campus organizers of Students for WashPIRG. "When this ismet with violence, you don't get things accomplished." WashPIRG, in McCallister's view, "is aconstructive form of activism that can provide a means to channel frustration into meaningful change." . -â€¢ Â« * ,.- For the past nine weeks, McAllister and his WashPIRG colleagues have been attempting toget the necessary 60 per cent study body approval for a two-dollar per quarter tuition increase to fund aWash-PIRG chapter here. While confident the required total can be reached (currently in excess of 4,000 have agreed to the increase), McCallister said the campaign "promises to be a long process." Heexplained that final approval of the Wash-PIRG proposed funding mechanism has to be approved byWestern's Board of Trustees. In 1972, the trustees, whose membership then, except for one person, was the same as today's, rejected a similar Wash-PIRG funding scheme because "the proposed fundingmechanism far outweighs any educational benefits to be derived from the proposal," according to theminutes of the board's June 1, 1972 meeting. Local group proposes directory for county lawyers by BOB SLONE A long-standing code of ethics which prevents lawyers from advertising their services isbeing questioned and may be changed, according to Jerry Richard, Fairhaven instructor. Richard headsa group concerned with developing a lawyers directory for Whatcom County. The group has run into a snag in the ethics code which is being upheld at this time by the Washington State BarAssociation. According to Richard, the American Bar Association will be reviewing this and otherproblems this spring. Until such time as the code is changed, the directory will remain on the drawingboards, Richard said. Several local lawyers have voiced support for the change, should it go into effect."It would be advantageous for the public to be aware of who an attorney is," said Timothy W. Carpenter,a Bell-ingham lawyer. Local attorney Dennis Hind-man said the directory would be "a public service" aslong as it was "done in good taste." Hindman said there was a chance this advertising could get out ofhand, with some of the larger firms developing a "possible monopoly" in that area. "People should beaware that there is a lawyer referral service in Des Moines," said attorney Robert E. Beaty. "But therewould be an overriding benefit in a directory of this type." Students could observe wage talks; unionleaders against proposal bySUKIDARDARIAN and HARRY McFARLAND Students will be givenobservers rights in collective bargaining sessions of some faculty leaders, if the King bill is passedthis legislative session. An amendment to the labor relations bill which calls for collective bargaining foreducational employes (including faculty) also calls for a team of no more than three students to bepresent at collective bargaining sessions.

"Studentsrepresentatives may well smudge the issue," said Marvin Olmstead, a former Council of FacultyRepresentatives member. "Having students as part of the bargaining process would not be good," he testified at the House Higher Education subcommittee hearing Friday at Western. Mark Wicholas,president of the local American Federation of Teachers, said he would "rather not have students asobservers." Leslie Rowe, representing the Washington Education Association, said having studentsinvolved in bargainingn would make the process more difficult. At a recent Associated StudentsBoard meeting, College President Paul J. Olscamp said student representation in collective bargaining would "depend on the issue," whether the students were involved with the topic under discussion.NOW OPEN MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS Home of Spanish Dance Theatre Flamencoin Conceret Members of National Endowment for the Arts Complete professional Training in DanceClass Ballet Character Movement Conditioning Folk Variation Point Adult Beginners throughProfessional Children's Classes MORCA ACADEMY OF CREATIVE ARTS For Details Call 676-1864Write 1349 Franklin St. Bellingham, Wn. 98225 Advertise in the classifieds Blind student needsresponsible person to drive her to and from B B stable every Tuesday.

FOOTBALL â€” Center Andy Harlin and defensive lineman Dann Debellis earned honorable mention honors in the Little College All-American pollfor their performances last fall. Harlin, a junior, was also named to the all-district first team while DeBellis, a senior, was on the second team. Harlin picked up additional honors last month when he and junior end Chuck Houser were selected to the Little College All-Northwest second team.

At notime were the Viks in any danger of losing the lead as they methodically widened the gap. The Wolveswere never able to recover from Western's first half surge finding themselves behind 46-25 at the half."They outfought and out-hustled us, particularly in the first half," Wolves Coach Bob McCullough, said ofWestern. "We did hustle the second half, but Western was a little rougher than us." What's comingup Today Women's basketball with AAU club team.

Vik coach Jack Ecklund attributed much of the Vikings'success to outstanding defense the first half, and a patient offense with controlled fast breaks. Although the game did not seem to be the most exciting to watch, it certainly did not lack in performances.Guard Dave Wood broke the single game assists records with 15 for the Viks. Rob Visser, Vik center,had 13 rebounds and 20 points. Vik guard Brad Fuhrer continued to be leading scorer for Western,pumping in 28 points. Freshman guard Craig Erick-sen contributed 10 points for Western. Ericksen tookover starting duties from senior Scott Curran. "We finally got everything together," Ericksen said of their win. "Defense is what did it. OCE is a good ball club." Ecklund, who played everyone on the bench,said they all played well and was particularly pleased with Ericksen's defense and forward GregSmith's rebounding and defensive efforts. Smith had six rebounds and 12 points. "Wood penetratedvery well and when there is a shooter like Fuhrer, he's bound to give you trouble," McCullough said. "We were simply outplayed." Saturday night's victory gave Western a 6-6 record and follows a two gamewinning streak from Vik contests over the holidays. Western participated in two tournaments during thevacation, winning three and losing four. At the Balladtown Classic, the Viks placed third, winning one game in four attempts. The single victory was over Western Baptist College, 78-67, with Smith's fineefforts of 28 points and 18 rebounds. Visser contributed 24 points and ten rebounds, while Wood tied the school record with 12 assists. The Vikings' losses were to Whitworth College, 70-58, Gon-zaga, 85-69, and George Fox, 72-60. Visser grabbed 18 rebounds and blocked five shots in the George Fox defeat. Western then followed up with a fourth place finish at the John Lewis Holiday Classic, with a 2-1record. The wins were over Warner Pacific College, 82-70, and St. Martins College, 74-53. DespiteFuhrer's 27 points against Lewis and Clark College, Western was dropped 76-72. Fuhrer was namedto the All-Tournament team at the latter tourney, scoring 73 points in the three games.

The Vikettes ripped Oregon, 76-30, and only those earnest basketball diehards who enjoywatching constant turnovers and fast breaks paid attention. The victory gave Western a perfect 4-0 league record and 5-2 overall. First-year Oregon Coach Mary Covington, seemed a little lackadaisical as shewatched her team warm up. Four of her starters were out with injuries and she had already seen theBeavers beaten by scores of 97-17 and 56-16 this season. Oregon constantly tried to penetrateWestern's defense, but wound up committing a total of 54 turnovers which saw the "running blue" grab the ball and fast break down the court for more baskets. Western coach Lynda Goodrich praised theteam's traditional one-on-one defense, but gave special credit to forward Diane Bjerke for creating manyof Oregon's turnovers. Joni Slagle, the VIkettes'big gun, again led the squad in scoring and rebounding.The 5-10 center scored 28 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to boost her scoring average to 22.8 pointsper game. It was obvious the Vikettes played up to Slagle's quick firing and scoring accuracy. Theyrepeatedly fed her the ball on inbounds passes, under the basket and outside the key, and she showedshe had the touch. Third-year varsity guards Dee Dee Molner and Charmon Odle contributed to the rompas they popped in 12 and 14 points respectively. Odle led in assists with nine. Western was gt; notentirely healthy either. Starting forward Bethany Ryals sprained an ankle in practice last week and guardShelly Kulstad has been sidelined due to illness since last month. Both are expected to resume practice this week. The Vikettes played a five game slate during the Christmas vacation. Western crushed itsfirst two league opponents, Seattle Pacific College (SPC), 85-55, and Washington State University 89-55. Slagle was high pointer in both games, scoring 20 and 29 respectively. Western won only one of thethree practice games in a six team post-Christmas Invitational Tournament at SPC. They were topped by Lumberman's-Bellevue AAU, 80-58, and Victoria, British Columbia Club, 84-59. The lone tournamentvictory was over Dr. Bernard's-Port-land AAU, 80-58. Three Western varsity alumni from the past twoyears played on two of these AAU teams. They were former outside sharpshooting guard and last year'sjunior varsity coach Wendy Hawley (Dr. Bernard's) and forwards Claudia Haaker and Sue Stange(Lumberman's). Slagle garnered a high of 44 points and 36 rebounds for the three games, while Molnercontributed 22 assists. r Commentary Peg Bolek, coach, dies Assistant women's basketball coachMargaret (Peg) Bolek, 24, died of a heart attack Dec. 10 at her home in Bellingham. Peg, a physicaleducation major at Western, was buried in her home state of New Jersey. While at Western, Peggy wasvery active in the sports program and respected as a friend, player and coach. Peg may have seemedshy to her many acquaintances, but her close friends were drawn to her infectious smile and thesomewhat mysterious way her warmth and sensitivity grasped them. She needed only six more creditsto complete her coaching minor, but she had already gained experience in the field. She was assistantvolleyball coach at Sehome High School last fall, women's, junior varsity basketball coach this year, andshe taught tennis and coached Softball in Bellingham's Park and Recreation Program last summer. Pegalso played varsity volleyball and basketball for two years at Western, but most of her friendsconsidered tennis to be her best game. Peg will be missed, but those who knew and loved her canhonestly say their lives were enriched by her friendship. A Peg Bolek Memorial Scholarship Fund is nowbeing set up for needy women in the physical education department. Details will be printed later.

"Women have to work harder for credibility," said Jean Gallegos, the onlywoman to serve on the Whatcom City Planning Commission. "Men extend credibility to other men, butwomen have to earn it." The difference is, a woman doesn't have a wife at home to help," said KayAnderson, recently-defeated Democratic candidate for secretary of state. "A woman has to work doublyhard." Anderson, Gallegos and Harriet Spanel of the League of Women Voters, spoke at a paneldiscussion Wednesday sponsored by the Political Science Club. Anderson related experiences from her'75 campaign and criticized press coverage. "Experience with a hostile press could prepare me foralmost anything," she said. "My opponent had courted the press for many years. He was their drinkingbuddy." She said smear attempts on opponents are part of every campaign. Candidates also mustchoose associates carefully. "I was running a very positive campaign," Anderson told tne small group."Apparently this is not the way to win state office." Gallegos said she would like to see more women inappointed positions. There are often women on library or museum boards, she said, but none on the CivilService Commission or Code Review. "That's really considered men's domain," she said. Only recently a woman was appointed to the Housing Authority. The League of Women Voters tries to -encourage more participation in politics, she said. "Women have to work harder to get their point across," said Spanel.Locally they set up a talent bank, a directory of politically qualified women. "Local officials were veryreceptive," said Spanel. The League of Women Voters is open to all citizens over age 18. The non-partisan group promotes involvement in local, state.and national government; The League grew fromwomen's sufferage in the 1920s. "It's a good training ground," said Spanel. "Women are recognizing thatthey have the capability to give service." "But there's work to be done," said Gallegos. Women have tospeak up, she said. "Men are predominantly the verbal members of society." KAY ANDERSON â€” Therecent contenter for the Washington Secretary of State spoke Wednesday at a seminar on women inpolitics. She commented that women might have a higher average grade point, but in the classroom, men ask the questions. "Once you've got your foot in, the door is open," said Gallegos. "You can go as faras your capabilities and interests." "You have to be committed to be in politics," cautioned Anderson."I'm very grateful for the experience my campaign gave me." Organic baker does not live by bread aloneby KKIK MAGNUSON "Bible Bread." The sign is simple, with letters neatly printed on cardboard inmarking pen, and hangs on the back of an equally unpretentious little electric oven which squats on atable. "Ezek. 4:9 â€” Take thou also unto thee wheat and barley and bean and lentiles and millet andfitches (rye) . . ." A KNEAD FOR GOD â€” Terri Richeson of the New Health Food Store, across from the Leopold Hotel, is interested in teaching her trade as well as making bread. Terri Richeson uses allthese ingredients plus a few the Old Testament deity didn't call for, in her new bakery set in the back of"The New Health Food Store," across from the Leopold Hotel. "I figure God is *he greatest bio-chemist of all time," Richeson said. Distilled water, sorghum syrup (a variety of molasses) and "Hawaiian SunSyrup," a composite of cane sugar, rose hips, orange and lemon juice and papaya also go into herbread in varying amounts. Her wheat, which she grinds herself, all comes from Deaf Smith County, Tex. "No chemicals or sprays have ever been used in Deaf Smith County," according to Clancy Meyer, whoruns the health food store which houses the bakery. Not only does the county produce the mostnourishing wheat in the U.S., Meyer said, but has "the least incidence of tooth decay in the country."Richeson said she uses distilled water uecause "tne worst water you can get is public water â€” Godnever intended us to drink polluted, fluoridated water." Her bakery is just one week old, but is alreadyattracting many customers, according to Richeson. . A devout Seventh Day Adventist, Richardsonsaid she believes "if people would act like Christians in their business and think of other people, the Lordwill provide the rest." She dispenses free samples of her bread to anyone who is interested, she said."One girl had eight slices," she added. Richeson, a vegetarian, said her bread is a "complete proteinfood," which can be used to replace meat. She sells her tiny eight-inch loaves for what many peoplewould call a steep price â€” 89 cents a pound. With the ingredients used, she said, that is as cheap asshe can sell it. She has taught more than 500 people how to bake bread through classes at WhatcomCommunity College and intends to begin teaching again on her own as soon as enough people signup, she said. She has few kind words for the people who bring us "Wonder Bread" and other suchgastronomic delights. "Their bread is mostly air," and has little nutritional value, she said. This is not herfirst attempt at running a commercial bakery. "My husband and I ran a bakery for two years in Ferndale,selling to grocery stores," she said. "But they wanted more white flour, and then they complained thatthe bread didn't keep long enough so they wanted preservatives." The business was a financial success,Richeson said, but they gave it up rather than bow to such demands. "It took a lot of faith to give up abusiness we had put so much work into," she said. Coming from the lips of your typical American Lcapitalist monster, Richeson's claims of beneficence would fall on deaf ears â€” however this short,animated woman with the page-boy haircut and the penetrating blue eyes somehow radiates suchsincerity that it is difficult to doubt her. Of course this reporter, who waddled out of her bakery with a free loaf under one arm and umpteen slices of bread in his gut, just might be prejudiced. Book policy takenas recommendation The Standardized Textbook proposal was approved Tuesday by the AcademicCoordinating Commission (ACC), as a recommendation, not as a policy, as originally intended. The guidelines, as accepted by the ACC, says "all instructors for lower division classes are recommended to adopt a textbook for at least one year (three quarters)." The ACC further recognized an instructor's prerogative to change texts during the year, but it urged each faculty member to consider the fullramifications of such a change. Now active, the recommendation will not carry as much impact as apolicy would, according to George Elliott, student co-op Bookstore manager. He said Wednesday heis concerned about the cooperation from some departments on campus in following the guidelines.Commissioner Hyung-Chan Kim of Ethnic Studies, who moved to accept the recommendations said,"If you have to change fundamental texts, you are not doing you job."

McAlister spoke before the showing of "The Selling of the Pentagon," in Lecture Hall 2.The Harrisburg Seven were indicted for a plot to put a bomb in an air duct under the U.S. capitol and tokidnap HenryKissinger. McAlister said the charge was trumped up by J. Edgar Hoover, whom theSeven had pinned down with some legal discrepancy. They were charged with obstructing justice, andMcAlister was convicted for smuggling a letter to Phil Berrigan in jail. Former priest Berrigan and former nun McAlister were married three years ago. McAlister traced the development of nuclear defensepolicy in this country since 1945, when Truman responded to news of the successful bombing ofHiroshima saying "this is the greatest day in history." She said that our ideas regarding nuclearweapons "are as old as our possession of them, as the idea of aspired technology and the need to win."The win syndrome, she said, has restructured our nation into a permanent national security state.McAlister said the nuclear energy industry itself contributes to the proliferation of weapons , in love -violence with plant waste that produce the same detrimental effects. She noted the problem struck close to home with the construction of $30 billion Trident nuclear submarine in Bangor, Wash., near thepeninsula. "The entire process operates independently of leaders who take a position on the issue,"McAlister said. Access to the controls now lies in the hands of many instead of a few, she concluded.Her personal recommendation for concerned citizens was development of groups that meet regularly tofocus on the issue of national defense. McAlister stressed the need to see each other as resources,since organization at the group level provides opportunity for the community to grow spiritually andpurposefully through the goals of non-violent resistance. McAlister is the co-founder of the Jonah Housein Baltimore, which is founded on the principles of non-violent resistence. When asked where she got herenergy, she replied, "it is largely a matter of spirit, the command to love, to build life, and to protect it."The speaker was sponsored by the Campus Christian Ministry, which has arranged for WilliamStringfellow to speak there at 7 tonight. Stringfellow harbored Dan Berrigan [Phil's brother) while he wasunderground in the period of the Harrisburg Seven. Solution to grade inflation sought There is concernthat grades could lose their meaning and value if grade inflation continues, according to Loren Webb,acting vice president for academic affairs. According to Registrar Eugene Omey, there is noevidence the trend is reversing. Out of concern that scholastic awards are losing their meaning,alternatives are being sought. One alternative accepted by the Academic Coordinating Commission onTuesday proposes that awards be granted on a percentile basis of class standings from GPAs. Theproposal, also accepted by College President Paul Ols-camp and the Dean's Council, states scholasticawards should be given as follows: Magna Cum laude to the upper three per cent of a graduating class;Cum Laude to the upper eight per cent; and honors to the upper 15 per cent. Webb, who submitted thisproposal to the two councils has also asked Omey to prepare a review of grading practices at Westernfor the past decade, to determine if alterations or changes are necessary. Omey said he feels ifinformation is released on the grade upswing, if people become knowledgeable about it, and if there is discussion within departments, the situation could remedy itself. Acceptance by the ACC madeWebb's proposal a reality, going into effect at the beginning of fall 1976. Senate reaffirms WashPIRGWashPIRG was reaffirmed Monday by the All-College Senate when it overrode the "veto" of CollegePresident Paul Ols-camp by a vote of 23-7. Olscamp had refused to implement the Senate approval of WashPIRG. The Senate first passed the concept, 27-6, two weeks ago., WashPIRG wants $2 charged at registration to fund its program. Students who wish a refund may do so later in the quarter.Olscamp, while explaining his objections, said, "If the trustees vote no, I hope it will not end theWashPIRG movement." To that, Ann Shiras, co-chairperson of WashPIRG replied, "You say you'refor us, but you won't fund us." Shiras said they had talked to trustee Robert Winston and would talk toothers in the next two weeks. Marvin Southcott of the technology department said he objected toprospective students paying to join an organization before they attend classes here. The Board ofTrustees will consider WashPIRG in a meeting, March 5. In other business, Olscamp announced theProgram Studies Committee will probably have a final report in mid-March.

There are also openings inmany crafts and specific musical instruments, she said. There are current openings in Honduras,Nicaragua, Paraguay, Niger, Lesotho and. tfte Republic of Korea among others, LaTour said. ThePeace Corps at present has about 7,500 volunteers in 68 countries. Applicants should have aBachelor's Degree or be expecting to graduate in March or June. A 30-day waiting period for medicaland personal reference clearances can be expected she said. Peace Corps tours are for two years, with three months of training in language, job orientation and host nation culture. French and Spanishare predominant languages. Volunteers receive a living allowance based on the host nation's cost ofliving, round trip transportation, medical treatment and housing. An $1,800 readjustment allowance atthe end of Peace Corps service also is given. In the Peace Corps LaTour worked in Liberia, Africa,teaching language arts and library techniques. While overseas she faced bandits in Chad and oncewas offered $500 to become a number four wife. LaTour will be interviewing at the Placement Office inEdens Hall all four days.

WEEKLY SALES AT *3.f7 EVERYDAYLOW PRICES 1^35 Railroad Ave 676-9573 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 , Western Front 3 VP hopeful wants better faculty funding by DICK MILNEWestern needs more quality faculty to bring in more money, according to John LaTourette, candidate forvice president for academic affairs here. LaTourette was here earlier this week to meet with the vicepresidential search committee and college president, and to tour the campus and community. At a two-hour public forum Monday afternoon, LaTourette said national prominence for Western could help bring inmore financial support. "The key is to add to your quality faculty to give you national visibility whileserving local needs," LaTourette said. "I assume you have at least 10 per cent high quality faculty here,"he said. "That's not a criticism. It's typical of most schools." LaTourette is acting provost for graduatestudies and research for the State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton. SUNY went through areduction-in-force program in which the Russian department there was entirely eliminated, he said. "Thedecision was to take deep cuts here and there to preserve the areas of quality," LaTourette said. He saidthe Russian department was "a pretty poor group of faculty" and "if that department is needed again, wewould hire a whole new department." Tenured faculty members were among those let go at SUNY.LaTourette said he doesn't have any "strong feelings" about tenure quotas, although he said it "decreases a department's flexibility." "Whether we like it or not, state government is holding administrators andfaculty accountable for the use of state funds," he said. "We're fighting for survival." In order to win thatfight, you have to bring in quality programs, he said. "You have to realize it's going to have a high pricetag." At times of low enrollment or changing student interest, "You have to take a close look at thesituation," he said. "You don't want to make cuts that will embarrass you in the future." LaTourette saidmost institutions went tod far in throwing out or revamping general college requirements in the 1960s andearly 70s. "There's good grounds for a regulation stipulating a student should have a certain number ofhours in humanities and social sciences. There's justification for a year of calculus and a year of lifescience and a lab." At the same time, the college should allow students to pursue specialized programswhich result in jobs, encouraging them to pursue a masters degree while working, LaTourette said.Education for jobs "is what a public university is supposed to do," he said. LaTourette is a 1954 graduateof Rutgers University, and received his doctorate in economics there in 1962. At SUNY, LaTourettehandles all research money that comes into the institution while overseeing 18 doctorate programs and over 30 masters programs. He said he applied for the job here because he felt it would be "morechallenging" than his job at SUNY.

Ray, please contact theWestern Front so we can authenticate your letters. PIRG funding is boiling point The fate of Western'sPublic Interest Research Group proposal has boiled down to the controversy over how the proposedorganization will be funded. Proponents of the measure have opted for a mandatory $2 fee, collected.with tuition payments from every student. Students who chose not to support WashPIRG could havetheir $2 refunded. Opponents of the measure have insisted the mandatory collection of fees isdiscriminatory against students not in favor of WashPIRG. It's been debated that those students wouldnot bother to file for a refund, and the use of colleges as collection agencies for a public research groupmay be unethical. An alternatvie method of funding^ has been suggested whereby students could choose at registration time whether or not they wish to support WashPIRG. Proponents of WashPIRG haverejected that alternative for fear that students, who would otherwise support WashPIRG, mayapathetically, decline to register their support. Student apathy has been a springboard for arguments onboth sides. On the one hand, students wouldn't bother to pay the $2, on the other hand, studentswouldn't bother to ask for a refund. Few persons have attacked the WashPIRG proposal on its face. It'sbeen recognized that PIRGs in other parts of the country have successfully exposed a number of publicrip-offs. The good that a Bellingham PIRG could do has not been denied. Yet, the proposal may die inthe very name of student (public) interest which such an organization would serve. Apathy has beenused as a catch-all excuse for non-involvement. If student apathy indeed exists, why not use it to ouradvantage for once. If students neglected to ask for a refund, it's not like their $2 wouldn't still be workingfor them. Even students who decline to support WashPIRG will enjoy the benefits as citizens andpotential consumers. That would be getting something for nothing. Who'll be discriminated against inthat respect? It is also only fair to ask whose interest is served by preventing the formation of a localPIRG â€” mainly business interests and public larceny groups. Politics enter the scene when oneconsiders who is being browned in the solicitation of private donations for higher education. While log-rolling may be behind it all, the argument against WashPIRG just doesn't seem to wash. It invites areciprocal answer to proposed tuition increases. "It's not the idea of funding higher education we oppose; it's just the method of funding." â€” Keith Olson front staff EDITOR: Keith Olson MANAGING EDITOR:Louie Phillips NEWS EDITOR: Dick Milne ARTS ENTERTAINMENT: Janene Lofgren SPORTSEDITOR: Carolyn Price COPY EDITORS: Tori Bonneville, Marshall Brown Suki Dardarian, MargaretGodfrey, Roy Tanaka PRODUCTION MANAGER: Greg Hoofinagle ASSISTANT PRODUCTION: Liz RustADVERTISING MANAGER: Tom Ellison AD GRAPHICS: Maria McAllister, Dave Porter BUSINESSMANAGER: Duane Wolfe PHOTO EDITOR: Ray Hoy The Western Front is the official newspaper ofWestern Washington State College.

All Gory folks of school Satire by Dan Smith Theeducational system of the tiny Republic of Demokratia was falling apart. Students, heady with freedom,had recently divided the State University into five sovereign nations, thus making the administrationprocess a bit cumbersome. As a result, an education expert was sent to the United States of El Dorado,possessor of a legendary educational system, paved with gold. On arriving in El Dorado, Ed U. Kayshun(the Demokratians were famous for their droll sense of humor), the education expert was taken to Break'em Young University, where he received a shock. The students were lined up goose-stepping into thedean's office where each received a whack on the head with a mallet. Shock number two came whenKayshun saw a student chained to his desk. "Oh, he's a hard-headed liberal arts major who just refusesto learn differential calculus," explained the dean. "But what's the use of forcing it down him?" queriedKayshun. "This nation was built on equality! Everyone is gonna come out the same if it kills him!" At that point the dean looked at the student's paper. "What! Only 98 out of 100 correct. Do not pass, do notcollect an "A," go directly back to where you started!" Kayshun, in sympathy with the poor student whoappeared in shock, offered to take him out and buy him a beer, or a coke of he wasn't old enough."School policy forbids that, sir," answered the student. "Mercy above, hands that touch the demon Colashall never shake mine." "Tell me what you really think of this place," said Kayshun. "The judiciousremonstrances create a certain a-propos quid pro quo, strictly in a de facto sense. Or, in Chinese, acertain Teng Shung, translatable as Mystic Harmonious Septum. Or . . ." Kayshun went home to makehis report. Accordingly, the republic of Demokratia became the Kingdom of Tyrannia and adopted the ElDorado method. Within a few years, the students had revolted, occupied the University buildings anddeclared them a sovereign nation. "Perhaps we didn't do something right," suggested the King. So, onceagain, Kayshun was off to El Dorado. "Are you sure you brought me to the right place?" asked Kayshun. His question was prompted by the fact that the University had changeditsnametotheNow Placeof YourThing! andby the sight of the dean locked in a stockade, being paddled by the students. "Of . . . OW . . .course," the dean yelped. "The students are simply notifying me of the new rules against short hair, longskirts and â€” ha, ha â€” right-handedness." Later, Kayshun visited a class on Transcendental Macrame, which two students had organized. It was report card day and they both received "A's". "It's really quitesimple," explained the instructor. "In order to be true to the principles of equality, we cannot possibly onlygrade those who are attending school, but must grade the entire population. Since these two are the only ones attending this class they get "A's." Everyone not enrolled will naturally get failing grades."Kayshun went over to talk to one of these remarkable students who was capable of organizing his ownclass. "Excuse me/ What is this class about and what books have you read?" "Read . . .oh, man. . . I'm black and white and everything is reeeed . . . all over . . . red, white and bluuuue . . . Oh wow! It's theMan . . . don't let him take my rock records away." "No, no, it's okay . . . what do you think about thisplace?" "Well, it's like, great, wow, you know, far out, it's the neatest coolest Mother (Bleep) in the world, dude. Hay, next time you come from Tyrannia, can you bring me a six-pack of Coprs?" ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 5 Letters Pot: 'Eat every herb' Action seen as protest againstEditor, Western Front: American policy, student apathy This letter is in reference to "Pot leaves, crosses stirring controversy." Contrary to what was insinuated in this letter, some "devout Christians" so indulge in marijuana. Gen. 3:16 â€” "The Earth brought forth grass, and herb bearing seed after his kind . . .and God said, 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth,and every tree in lt; gt; which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be meat." Exod.10:12 â€” "Eat every herb of the land." Prov. 15:17 â€” "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than astalled ox and hatred therewith." Further, what was said about protest I find totally inadequate for thepresent situation. I see the appearance of marijuana leaves in windows as a way of expressing beliefthat marijuana should be legalized. These people should not be downgraded simply because theirs isa symbolic expression . . . Tyler Bentley 406 Hoff Road Bowie review showed 'abysmal conception'Editor, Western Front: Rick Donker's review of Bowie's Seattle concert showed an abysmal conceptionof music and the industry which generates it, or perhaps an overindulgence in Jack Daniels. Yearsago, Bowie benefitted from the advantages of a multi-million dollar publicity hype and the coaching of one of the few innovative geniuses in the rock industry. Cherry Vanilla manipulated the industry movers with her sexual favors, much as John Lennon had with his intellect. However', the hype was deserved. Hewas surrounded by extremely competent musicians and engineers and rode the crest of a creative tidein hard rock music. Bowie now suffers the fate of an actor without a role, surviving the business onlybecause of his salable name. The monied interests have remodeled his image and sent out "The ManWho Sold the World" again, only this time as a venture in crass commercialism. The show began withseveral subliminal psychological tricks stolen from Jethro Tull's "Passion Play" tour anddegenerated from there. The musicians were pathetically inadequate to back up a voice like Bowie's.Although the band was bad, the engineers must have been asleep. The concert was plaguedconstantly by feedback, improper volume levels, and a lack of mid-range frequencies, the guitars beingdivided between extreme treble and bass. All the show provided was Bowie's voice and that little bit of stage presence he salvaged from an earlier era. No Mr. Donker, Bowie's Seattle concert was worse than bad . . . it was unprofessional. Gary Bowden Senior Editor, Western Front: In response to the potleaves letter, I applaud the actions of lower campus students. Ted Brancate and Matt Shaw haveequated this dissident action to an 'obvious' disapproval of 'cardboard Christian crosses.' However, myappraisal of the situation is entirely different. I see this protest as an outpouring of dissatisfaction withthe wholly absurd and unjust acts of security in an attempt to enforce the asinine restrictions placed onuse of a harmless weed. The authors of this absurd letter say that these actions 'display a behaviorunbefitting of any college-aged individual.' In my estimation, any action that can be determined to be aprotest against the injustice of American policy in this, a bicentennial year, must be applauded as anaction befitting all Americans of any age. Ted and Matt continue by charging the perpetrators of thishonorable action of disregard for the feelings and convictions of others. I beg you, Ted and Matt,show some respect and regard yourself. In this age of passive acceptance, I applaud any action thatmoves to destroy the apathy college students bathe themselves in. Students of the lower campus, Iapplaud your actions of protest against the oppressive policies of this nation. I would appreciate one of your leaves to display in my residence off campus. Viva freedom, an end to tyranny. Robert CaudleSenior There's no controversy Editor, Western Front: This letter is being written as a response to theletter in the Feb. 6 Front, written by Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. I don't think there's a controversyover the pot leaves and the crosses. I think it is a form of demonstrating by two groups of individuals that have separate beliefs. One group is into God and the other into pot. If one group is forced to removetheir emblems of faith, then the other-should be also. Think about it. That doesn't sound like democracyto me. This is supposed to be a free country, so everyone should be able to voice (or demonstrate) their beliefs openly. There are many types of people in this community, and if we are to peacefully co-exist,there must be give-and-take by all parties involved. JaldDodson Nash Hall Pot leaves are free expression Editor, Western Front: This is in response to the letter regarding the representation of marijuanaleaves in dorm windows. As an originator and supporter of this so-called "protest," I object to theattitude of Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. First of all, when I put the marijuana leaf in my window, it wasneither in disapproval nor in retaliation of the cardboard crosses in some of the windows. I put it in mywindow as an expression of my beliefs and convictions. It's too bad that some of the people on thiscampus are having a difficult time grasping the idea of respecting these beliefs and convictions. Inresponse to the opinion that the originators and supporters of this "aggressive attitude" are"displaying behavior unbefitting of any college-aged individual," forgive me, but I was never giveninstructions concerning what behavior does befit college-aged individuals. If displaying the properbehavior means not expressing oneself the way one finds it necessary to do so, then I want no part of it. I have no desire to cause "dissonance among Western students," but neither do I have any desire tobe told how I may express myself, nor how I should behave. ' Putting the marijuana leaves in thewindows was not intended as a malicious or aggressive act anymore than displaying the crosses was. A few people got together one afternoon and decided we wanted to express ourselves, just as thedevout Christians have done. If the leaves have caused anyone to suffer, then I apologize for my part inthe offense. But the leaf will remain oh my window.

That is,your amateur cartoonist, your bisexual pervert, your WashPIRG pushers, your lily white liberals andyour somewhat disconnected Roving Mike. The amateur cartoonist with the Bozo mentality shouldtake note that he and his troopers from the "Revolutionary Bicentennial Commission" have not ruffed a single hair on Ronald's somewhat legendary scalp. Bozo and his revolutionaries have only served tolight the fuse that will send Reagan skyrocketing to the White House. -Just - remember- Ronald callshis wife "mommy," likes a good fight and is a winner all the way. How is it this damned "GayAwareness Week" and WashPIRG exploitation get an over abundance of publicity in your paper? Iwould suspect it is a group of backhouse socialists using the Western Front as a tool to further promotetheir leftist aspirations. You and your staff are most likely not even aware that an increasing number ofstudents are having their (illegible) ta-tooed. In view of this, I would strongly recommend you change thename of the paper to the Eastern Front. A for the-Roving Mike, it's high time you trade it in on a newone. Not only is it out of touch with the international scene, but also on the local sports scene. It makes absurd statements like "Canadian alien law prohibits citizen from owning land." The latter being anabsolute and outright fallacy. In all fairness, I must comment you and your staff for keeping my catwell supplied with kitty tissue to line her litter box. This tissue has little substance, great absorbtionstrength, makes my kitty feel like a real aristocat. What more could anyone ask for?

This play is a moving, modern adaptation ofGreek dramatic forms, on the order of "Death of a Salesman," Miller's most famous play. As a result, itcould easily be overplayed and overdirected by anyone too enamored of Romantic tragedy style. In allrespects though, director Dennis CatreU has avoided this tendency toward melodrama. The play movescrisply throughout and the timing is smoothly maintained, even though the play moves subtly betweenmoods of comedy and strong emotion. David Locey, a graduate student from Federal Way, is cast in the lead role of Eddie Carborie, a longshoreman who is giving refuge to two cousins from Italy who haveentered the country illegally. Annette Halseth of Tacoma plays his niece Catherine, a pivotal characteraround whom all the other characters play their passions. Beatrice, Eddie's wife, is played by GiuliCascioppo, a senior from Seattle. She is the only one in the play who is portrayed as especiallyBrooklynish, but she restrains herself just enough so that the role doesn't become a caricature.Rodolpho, the Italian cousin who falls in love with Catherine, is played by Peter Kelley. Blond, a singerwho sews and cooks, he displays just enough feminity to give Eddie doubts about his "rightness," yetconvinces the audience that Eddie is likely wrong, and remains a character with whom we aresympathetic. Dick Falkenbury who plays Marco, the other somewhat strong and dumb Italian cousin, isthe only player who fell somewhat short. Attempting to sound strong and dumb, his delivery was oftenonly wooden and lifeless and on several occasions his timing was noticeably off. But dumb roles areoften difficult for people wTho aren't. Finally, the part of Alfieri, played by Scott Creighton, a junior fromEdmonds, deserves separate attention. This play was written during a period when American playwrightswere experimenting with narrators and interlocutors as modern substitutes for the Greek chorus. OVERCOFFEE â€” Beatrice [left], Catherine [right] and Marco discuss family business. Alfieri, a neighborhoodlawyer representing the force of the Law, is just such a part. Unfortunately, this device did not work toowell and Alfieri is saddled with cliches and misplaced metaphors. Also, the part requires that the playersit dead still just off to the right of stage while the rest of the action is going on, then suddenly jump up to begin his explanations. Considering these handicaps, Creighton played his part very well. Regardless of the play's minor flaws, Miller is successful with his aims and the production does full credit to histalents. The play will be presented twice more, tonight and tomorrow, at 8:15 in the Old Main Theatre.Tickets are only $1.50 for students.

"It took a couple of weeks to get used to the sounds coming out of there" says Cindy Davis, ticket taker at the State. Occasional inquiries from out of towners about"where the action is" and rarer flashes by exhibitionists are the only unusual incidents she's experienced. She said customers are usually friendly coming into the theater, but eye contact is hard to get on theway out. Being the first live girl encountered in their departure, Cindy said she often wonders if she'sbeing fantasized about by male customers. Single males make up most of the State's business, butcouples are not infrequent. Ages run generally in the mid to late thirties, according to Charles DeCoster,co-owner of the State. "We've found college-age people are generally unprepared for hardcore," DeCoster said. Most people who walk out in the middle of a show are college-age couples, he said. DeCosterdescribed a typical departure as the girl coming out first, striding for the door, staring CINDY DAVIS â€”Ticket veifdoi straight ahead. The guy follows about ten feet behind looking at the floor. Another eroticfilms theater DeCoster ran #i an Illinois college town was very popular with student audiences. He said he feels students at Western are less interested in films than students in other areas. $ Until August,1976, the State was a floundering theater featuring films similar to Fairhaven's The Picture Show. ThenDeCoster switched to erotic films and business improved considerably, despite an admission increasefrom $1 to $3. Films at the State vary from blue movie classics such as "Behind The Green Door" and"The Resurrection of Eve" to more basft; City 'promiscuous' in obscenity control: Hertz The U.S. Supreme Court, fearing it would become the High Court of Obscenity, established guidelines in 1973 to limit thenumber of cases brought to the justices. Here is how the law stands after those decisions: â€”interstatetransport of obscene material by common carrier may be prohibited. â€”importation of such material maybe prohibited. obscene material is not protected under the First Amendment. â€”"adult theaters" may notshow obscenity even if the spectators are limited to those over 18 years old. â€”adults may possessobscene material in their homes. â€”obscenity is judged by the state standard of the jury, not national orlocal community. â€”obscenity is patently offensive, and, when taken as a whole, lacks serious literary,artistic, political or scientific value. DAVE McEACHRAN BELLINGHAM MAYOR KEN HERTZ by AMYNELSON BRISTOW Bellingham has no official policy on obscenity and pornography and no city attorneyto enforce a policy, Mayor Ken Hertz said Friday. But, Kertz said, Bellingham needs to decide whether it wants to allow "adult" or sex-oriented businesses in the city. He listed three ways to approch the issue:"We can continue to tolerate expansion (into residential and throughout business areas, we cancontrol them in a specific area, or we can eliminate them altogether." Hertz said outdoor movies presentthe largest problem, since they can expose children to sexually explicit subjects and scenes andbecause outdoor theaters are drifting out into other areas of the community. "We have becomepromiscuous in what we allow people to do when we allow these things to go into other parts of thecommunity," Hertz said. Under controlled circumstances, limited adult entertainment areas could betolerated, he said. Such businesses may serve as an oullet for some persons, and that could be a major justification, Hertz said. And, he added, the freedom of people to do what they will is anotherconsideration. "It's like legalizing card playing rooms. If we attempt to eliminate them, they' gounderground," Hertz said. David McEachran, Whatcom County prosecuting attorney, made a similar observation in an interview Friday. "There is definitely a market or these businesses wouldn't be inexistence." "The whole area is a mess," said McEachran, explaining that loosely defined legal standards have muddied the waters of obscenity law. While ruling that obscenity can be defined, the SupremeCourt has offered only a vague definition, leaving each locality to determine how it wants to handle sex-oriented theaters, bookstores and other businesses. McEachran said the best way to bar sex-appealingbusinesses is through city ordinances. If a city is concerned about pornography and obscenity it canrefuse to grant operating licenses to certain kinds of businesses or set prohibitions on what will go onwithin its limits. ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 9 ---------- e porn changes dirt into gold Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 9 or fhe State Street Theater.hardcore. I sat in on "The Last Bath," the first production by a Seattle erotic film company. Refularcustomers, about 20 per' cent of the State's business, didn't care for "The Last Bath" because it wasn'thardcore enough, Decoster said. Mowever, it is an ambitious, high quality film. The photography isexcellent and as much concerned with scenic footage of the Pacific Northwest as fornicating couples and triples. fhe cast made a noble attempt at acting, and the film included an interesting, originalsoundtrack. Being absorbed in the more basic qualities of the spectacle, I missed what may hatebeen a subtle attempt at a plot. A couple blocks south of the State is Bellingham's latest addition to theblue film industry, The Green Apple Theater. Films at the Green Apple are less technically refined, butdeliver more sex per second than those at the State. The Green Apple offers no plots, soundtracks oreven the slightest attempt at acting, just straight ahead stuffat 25 cents foraminuteand a half. An entirefilm runs about $2 and 10 to 12 minutes. It may be more expensive than at the State, but for truepornophiles there are great advantages to the Green Apple. Customers enjoy large, clean, carpetedviewing rooms. Screens are wall sized and ashtrays and kleenex dispensers are provided. It's luxuriouscompared to the traditional descent into the dark, dank, catacomb corridors of coffin sized, faded woodviewing cubicles encountered in similar establishments. Films at the Green Apple are changed weeklydue to a large number of regular customers. An employee of the Green Apple describes regulars as"single, lonely men," but "perfect gentlemen." The atmosphere is cordial. She said many of them actembarrassed about coming to the theater. A few no longer seem embarrassed and sometimes stop totalk. She said she feels The Green Apple and theaters like it are "an important thing in the community."So if you are curious, a fanatic follower of the genre or just want to compare your performance with thepro's, The State Street Theater and the Green Apple offer modern, safe and sanitary opportunities.Photos this page by Dan Lamont Porn shop sells everything but 'that weird stuff BOOK RACK AT THEGREAT NORTHERN BOOKSTORE by MARSHALL BROWN Merritt Hewitt, co-owner of Great NorthernBooks on Railroad Avenue, prefers to leave the distinction between hardcore and softcore pornography toothers. "I sell penetration," he says. "Except for the really weird stuff like necrophilia, mutilaton andbeastiality," Hewitt said last Friday evening. Sitting behind a display case of sex novelties, Hewitt, atrim, dark 31, was keeping one eye on the television news and the other on the two customers perusingthe store's stock. From his vantage he could see everything in the store except the standard "skin mags" sold almost everywhere these days. "I came into it for the money," Hewitt said. While a historygraduate student here, he clerked at the store for three years before becoming a partner with GaryDeLorenzo, who opened the store in 1971. DeLorenzo is also a former Western student. "It was a way to get started, and it gives me lots of time to read non-pornomaterial," Hewitt said. "I look at it from abusiness point of view â€” I'll buy what I can sell." What the store sells is novelties, books, magazines,comics and coin-operated movies in the store's rear. Hewitt said merchandise is selected for sale byquality not kinkiness. "A lot of what we see (from distributors) is cheap junk, especially some of thenovelties," he said. The store's supplier is in Seattle, but Hewitt declined to name the company."Everything we have sells pretty evenly, from the comics up to the $6.50 and $10 books and magazines," he said. Ten per cent of Great Northern's customers are unaccompanied women, 15 per cent if couples are included, Hewitt said. He was less definite about other breakdowns of his customers. Heestimated his gay patronage at 15 per cent, "as far as the sale of gay materiel is concerned." He said hethought another 15 per cent are Canadians, although with both groups he has "no way of knowing forsure. It's hard to tell." College students are not a significant part of his business. "I think most studentsjust pass it by. I guess they're just not interested in sex," Hewitt said, half smiling. Winter is the slowest time of the year for sales. "People view this as a luxury, and tax time is here," he reasoned. The coldweather doesn't help business either, he said. Hewitt couldn't recall any hassles the store has had. Hesaid an occasional drunk wanders in, but they're just asked to leave as would happen in a bar. "Theword's pretty well out with the kids, too," Hewitt said. "We don't get many underage here." The lawrestricts those under 18, but the sign in the storefront says 21 "just to avoid as much hassle aspossible," he explained. Shoplifting is not as much a problem as might be supposed of a store asspecialized as Great Northern. Tim Miesse, a clerk, said in his four years working there off and on, hehas caught only two people. There was brief flurry of local official interest in the store after the 1973Supreme Court community standards decision. " They' came in here and bought a few items, but Iguess they decided the items were alright. We haven't heard anything," Hewitt said. As for his own views, Hewitt said, "I don't know what obscenity is anymore, and I don't think the state does either." Hewittsaid the Supreme Court ruling didn't change things much in Washington. "The Legislature apparentlydecided the laws that were good before were just as good after (the ruling)." The storefront is curtainedoff, and passers by on the sidewalk "could see more on the magazine rack at Pay 'n Save," Hewitt said.Once inside, except for the subject material, the quiet, relaxed atmosphere could be mistaken for areligous reading room. Magazines and books cover the entire spectrum of human sexuality (exceptthat "really weird" stuff). Some are composed entirely of photographs, some are mixed prose and photos and some are all prose. Hewitt doesn't look for any loosening of restrictions on pornography. He said the community standards decision "seemed to limit the distribution jf materials interstate." And, "if eitherReagan or Wallace comes to power, or becomes a major force in the Presidential selection," Hewitt said, "those two guys would repress it." For the time being, Great Northern Books seems to be on firmground in Bellingham, and business seems to be good. A branch store was opened in Mt. Vernon Dec.1. "Our store there used to be a Bible bookstore," Hewitt said. "Our first day some people walked inthinking it still was and just about sâ€”." ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 M M BAKED LASAGNE VENUS PIZZA SPAGHETTI STEAK HOUSE 1304 12th St. in Old Fairhaven SB We stay open Just for you* We keep.people hours.

Wendy Warren, LindaAnderson and Martin Reeves feel practical experience, rather than in-classroom theory, is a good wayto get an education. CC, an organization that calls itself a citizen's lobby, is a way college students canbecome involved in government, said Jim Sorrels, president of CC in Washington state. 'Students are anenthusiastic resource and we like to see them get involved' The Fairhaven students attend House andSenate full sessions, House and Senate Constitution and Election committee meetings and lobbyindividual legislators for the campaign reform bill. "Students are an enthusiastic resource and we like tosee them get involved," Sorrels said. Based in Washington, D.C. and striving to make the system work,CC focuses on accountability, not personalities or political parties, according to a CC publication. Tobring this "accountability" to government, CC works for the citizen's right to know, opening congressionalcommittee and federal agency meetings to the people and press, and urging financial disclosure bypoliltical candidates and office holders. Reeves says he was surprised by the cordial reactions oflegislators towards him. "I used to have a negative attitude towards government, but now I realize most ofthe people here are trying to do a good job," he said. Friday the 13th not all that bad Don't lose yourhead and/or get married â€” it's Friday the 13th. Marriage on a Friday is supposed to cause infidelity inone or more of the partners, according to voodoo legend. Through the years Friday was traditionally used as the day of execution, and was frequently germed "hangman's day." Named after the Norsegoddess Freya, the day was originally reserved for a festival in her honor. According to legend,when the people stopped worshipping her, she brought ill fortune. Norse legend also deemed 13unlucky because the god Loki intruded at a banquet of 12 guests, and his power brought the death of the hero Balder. In Greek legend, the curse on the House of Atreus brought death to King Agamemmnon on January 13. Christianity picked up 13 as an unlucky number with Christ and his twelve disciples at the last supper. Christ was crucified on Friday and Adam was expelled from Paradise on Friday. Adamrepented and died on Friday. Historically, Friday the 13th has seen a variety of events in the U.S.:impeachment proceedings were begun against Andrew Johnson in March, 1868; Woodrow Wilson was the first President to set foot on foreign soil in December, 1918; the first woman senator, H.O.W.Caraway of Arkansas was elected in November, 1931; and Cora Sterling of Seattle was the first womanappointed to an aerial police force in 1934. So it doesn't have to be a bad day. Besides, it's the first day of the quarter that's followed by a three day weekend.

I bring God into the discussion because, if there is noultimate absolute God to stand as Loving Judge over us all, then there is nothing to discuss. You cansay that Gay is good and that being anti-gay is bad but the terms good and bad have no meaning in auniverse with no God. I do suggest that this is the position of the majority of people in the gay movement. You live in a universe with no ultimate moral authority so you are free to do as you please. If life has noultimate meaning then it doesn't really matter what we do. If that premise is true, I agree with theconclusion. "Eat, drink and seek pleasure for life has no meaning." If, on the other hand, we live in auniverse created by a wise and loving God, then we are foolish to neglect the principle of moral law andorder, a moral law and order given for the benefit of the created creatures. Obedience in that universewould bring freedom and life, joy and hope. In spite of the persistent rhetoric from the gay movement, Isubmit that the gays are not free but exist in a state of bondage, a bondage that is not "liberating" but a bondage that makes the universe drab and cramped and lonely. In spite of the constant use of the term"meaningful relationships," I am of the opinion that the gay life leads one down a despairing road that is a revolt against life itself. Is it possible that your revolt against traditional morality is a revolt of the limbagainst the tree, a revolt of the hand against the heart? If you succeed in cutting yourself off fromtraditional morality, maybe you will find that you have cut yourself off from everything that matters? Thereis no such thing as a "new Morality," only a rebellion against the old one. All attempts at a "newmorality" are merely a watering down of real morality. The laws of morality are as rigid (and for thatreason, helpful) as the laws of science. Either we obey them, or by our disobedience and ourunwillingness to seek forgiveness, we choose self destruction. We may choose to disbelieve in thatstrange story about an apple and a snake but that should not cause us to overlook the point of the story.A question I would encourage you to ask yourself: Where is the gay life going to take you in twenty orthirty years? It is the same question the playboy or playgirl need to ask themselves. Is thecommittment to personal freedom going to bring freedom, or will the temporary glitter of the selfish lifeeventually going to lose its shine and begin to rust and decay? I think that gay Christians haveadjusted their theology to their desires rather than attempting to direct their desires by their theology. We Christians are under orders to present our whole selves as a sacrifice up to God in Christ. All ourinclinations both good and bad must be offered up. We can obey or disobey. "He who saves his lifeshall lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake ..hall save it." (Christ). The real question is, do we want the truth about life, whatever it is, or do only want what we want. Are we orphans in universe out otfulfill our immediate desires, or are we someone's kids who are each loved personally. I wouldencourage you to make an intelligent investigation of Christianity. I'm convinced that Christianity outshines all the options, as the sun outshines a candle. sponsored by Campus Christian Fellowship 733-3077676-0490 C.C.F. meets at 7:30 on Friday's in V.U. 450 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Human Services gets $950 operating budget School of Edseeks dean by TERRY McGUIRE The Activities Council has apportioned a $950 operating budget to the Human Services Program Student Organization, a new off-campus group. The organization hadrequested $2,900 for operating expenses, but it was reduced by two-thirds and approved at theCouncil's Jan. 26 meeting. The group was formed last quarter by students in the Human ServicesProgram (HSP) an off-campus upper-division program offering experience in the human services field and a bachelor of arts from Western. The program is administered through the College of Ethnic Studies.The $950 will be used to improve communications a-inong HSP students, according to Sharon Morris, aspokesperson for the group's Seattle district. She said the group will rent office space in Seattle toserve as a communications center and will publish a newsletter. Western's liaison for the group,Hunter Nickell of the Viking Union Administration, said the students organized last October in reaction to a $52.50 diversion of their tuition. The money, which previously had gone directly into the program, was earmarked for services' and activities, Nickell said. He said the more than 300 students in the programare scattered in communities from Skagit Valley to Tacoma and can't benefit from campus facilitieshere. "Mainly, they want access to recreational and library facilities," Nickell said. "Part of the $2,900 request was for a retreat, away from the institutional setting, to accommodate their recreational and learning needs." The Council was "leery" of the retreat proposal, according to Nickell, because it was a new idea and the group's presentation was not "solid enough." He said the group would probably makeanother THE PICTURE SHOW Coming Next c 1 M U M oFTrie TaLl "BLOND MaN X TOW SriOe i lt;SJÂ±J676-1 226 A * ^ IN ObD FfllRHflVEN th$ M M $Â£$ toaft t And t Ear Piercing ' , 1 ' T\ 979-0282 BAY ST.VILLAGE! retreat proposal in the next fiscal year. Meanwhile, community colleges inthe HSP area will soon allow HSP students access to their recreational and library facilities, Nickellnoted. He said he is trying to negotiate a similar open-door policy with the University of Washington,since many of the HSP students and a majority of the human service organizations are based in Seattle. In addition to the budget approval, Nickell said Western is responding to the group's needs in otherareas. He said the students are notified of films relating to their work, which are available from theAudiovisual Center. The college also updates HSP students on the resources open to them in thehealth, financial aid and placement services. byDAVENEFF A national search will begin soon for a deanof the School of Education that was approved by Western's Board of Trustees Feb. 5, according to Loren Webb, acting vice president for academic affairs. Monday, Webb said he plans to appoint a screeningcommittee by next week to review applications expected to come into his office as a result of advertisingfor the position in national publications. At their February meeting the trustees, acting on Webb'srecommendation, appointed Arnold Gallegos as the school's acting dean. He was formerly associatedean of Teachers Education. Gallegos said "my plans are right now to apply" for the permanent deanposition. Gallegos said the school's dean is charged, among other things, with "joint recommendatorypurview with the deans of the other collegiate divisions" over personnel action affecting "all individuals at(Western) teaching courses for school personnel." The School of Education is the result of a rejectionlate last October of a proposed College of Education by Western's Academic Coordinating Committee(ACC). The rejected proposal included the department of education, the department of physicaleducation, and the separate speech pathology and audiology programs "as three departments in theCollege of Education," Gallegos said. Under the recommendations of an ACC conference committee,approved by the ACC Dec. 3 and endorsed by All-College Senate Dec. 11, a compromise School ofEducation was approved, according to Gallegos. "The department of education is the only total unitwithin the school," Gallegos said. "However, it includes all education faculty" at Western. Prior to theformation of the School of Education "the department of education didn't belong to any collegiate division" at Western, Gallegos said. Approximately 30 per cent of the undergraduates attending Western are in teacher education programs, according to Gallegos. Last quarter, according to Dean of GraduateSchool Alan Ross, 331, or 55 per cent of the 599 graduate students attending Western were involved inmaster of education degree programs. Webb said once the screening committee has a list ofcandidates for the dean position this spring, a final choice should be made by next fall.

Meeting â€” Bahai firesidediscussion, 7:30 p.m., VU 360 by ROY TANAKA The banner promoting Rebecca Valrejean's "LavenderTroubadour" play was stolen from in front of the Viking Union early Sunday morning, and three suspectshave been identified. The suspects fled after being spotted by Safety and Security personnel on routinepatrol but one was apprehended going across campus with the banner under his arm. The individualshave been referred to the Vice President for Student Affairs Office. R.G. Peterson, director of campussecurity, said his department has recommended judicial action be taken. Security will file a complaint ifother parties involved do not, Peterson said. Under school policy, the suspects' names are beingwithheld. Unless the plaintiff(s) desires otherwise, subsequent hearings will be closed. The banner isowned by the Program Commission and is being held by Security as evidence. Valrejean, who wrote and presented the one-woman play as part of the Gay Symposium, said the Gay People's Alliance does notwant the individuals prosecuted. Rather, they would like to have them work in the GPA office "for a couple of weeks, answering phones or running errands. We'll think of something." Valrejean can't imagine whysomeone would want to rip the sign down. "Maybe they were so angered by the 'trash' that thety feltcompelled to save the campus. Or they might have wanted to play a practical joke on someone byputting it on their window. I don't know," she said. Lee Thompson, VU reservationist, said the GPA hasbeen a constant target of vandalism. "It almost seems like someone is trying to get back at them forsomething. But rather than confront them face-to-face, they do things like rip down signs," Thompsonsaid. "The interesting thing is that one of our night custodians saw three people by the banner, earlier inthe evening. One guy was standing on the other guys' shoulders and he appeared to have a pair ofscissors or a knife. The custodian yelled at them and they split. Whether they were the same people ornot, I don't know," he said. According to the Security report, the banner was "old and torn." It has notbeen determined if the banner was damaged before or after the incident. "I really don't know what isgoing to happen to the banner," said Thompson. "Last year, a banner was stolen and run over with a car.It got caught on the axle or something and was destroyed. At this point, we don't know if the banner canbe used again or not." Jack Smith, associate director of the VU, said the Program Commission has other banners. Foundation helps support college In 1965, Western finally got a foundation. It's not the kind offoundation most people think of such as concrete under buildings to keep them from tumbling down.This foundation works in much the same way. It keeps Western from falling apart financially. The title ofthe organization is WWSC Foundation and its purpose is to "cultivate" donors for Western. MichaelBarnhart, interim director of the non-profit, nonpartisan organization, has held that position since lastNovember. He says the Foundation has to "cultivate" or find donors because "people are prone to give to a particular endeavor than to Western." Although Barnhart admits that the foundation is in thebeginning stages, he says he is hopeful. "I'm very positive about raising funds." Barnhart added,"Given time and understanding, people are very generous." Funds given to the WWSC Foundation goto scholastic activity such as student scholarships and library book purchases. All graduates ofWestern are sent material asking ..for donations. According to Barnhart, the foundation usually has togo out and get donations instead of waiting for people to come to the foundation. Barnhart said it is toeveryone's advantage to give to the WWSC Foundation because "today the income tax laws aredesigned to encourage giving to a non-profit organiz-tion." Barnhart is a busy man, as interim director ofthe WWSC Foundation and other college related jobs including being an executive assistant to thepresident and a legislative liaison. r Misc. for sale FOR SALE: Reflex Super 8 Capro 400 Pwr.

Western's offense began to click when guard Charmon Odle scored sixpoints in the opening minutes of the second half to put Western ahead by 13. Western led, 30-20, at thehalf. Alaska pulled within seven with 12 minutes to go in the game, but a Vikette team effort produced 14 unanswered points, boosting Western to its biggest lead, 59-37. FOILED AGAIN â€” Charmon Odleputs a commanding hand on the ball during a jump as Dee Dee Molner gets set to make the grab.Freshman center Keri Worley grabbed a game-high 20 rebounds but Vikette season scoring leader JoniSlagle was held to just 12 points while contributing seven rebounds. Slagle picked up her fourth foul with14 minutes left in the game and sat out most of the second half. Reserve guard Ricky Mass, who filledSlagle's spot, scored eight of her 12 points in the second half and grabbed seven rebounds. "All ofWestern's players scored pretty evenly I think," said Alaska's coach Diann Aldrich. "We planned to holdSlagle down by boxing her in and it worked to some degree." The Nanooks, on their first road trip of theseason, were led by guard Gina Howard and forward Dianne Kennedy. Howard pulled down 10 reboundsand scored 14 points while Kennedy put in 17 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Howard fouled outwith 15 seconds left on the clock. "We're a pretty young team this year and we didn't have a goodshooting night," Aldrich said of the team's 26.8 percentage. "Western is one of the better teams we'veplayed. They run the ball well." The Alaskans, who have played the University of Washington, Universityof Oregon and Pacific Lutheran at home this year, will return to the Northwest later this month to playPortland State. Western fast breaks more than most teams we've played. We let them get easy buckets because we didn't have enough people down to cover the person under the basket," Kennedy explained. Vikette coach Lynda Goodrich said she was pleased with the second half and felt Western's rebounding had improved a little since last weekend's games with Central and Portland State. The Vikettescancelled their appearance at the Oregon State tournament in Corvallis this weekend. Wolves fameVikings, 64-63 by MKE THOMPSON Who needs a coach to win a basketball game? Obviously not theOregon College of Education's (OCE) Wolves as they defeated Western's varsity, 64-63, Tuesdaynight at Monmouth. Wolves' coach Bob McCul-lough did not show up for the game because of a case ofthe flu, but an assistant, Greg McMackin, successfully assumed coaching duties. Behind most of the game, Western displayed a nice comeback going into a full court press while trailing 58-45 with fourminutes left to play. Several turnovers caused by the Vik press helped narrow the gap. Vik center RobVis-ser's score from 15 feet out brought Western within one point of the Wolves, 60-59, with 52 seconds remaining on the clock. The Wolves made their next four points on foul shots by Cliff Wegner. GuardBrad Fuhrer scored a lay-in before Wegner's last two free throws, to keep the Viks within a point.After Wegner's final two free throws Western put the ball in play with eight seconds remaining.Visser's shot was good at he Stimula Condom.

Both away games are crucial, not only for the championship, but also to insure an 18thconsecutive non-losing season for Western. The Vikings are 5-4 in conference action and 12-10 overall.Central suffered a 74-72 three overtime loss to conference leading Eastern Washington Tuesday night.Their 6-2 conference record places them in a tie for second place with Oregon Institute of Technology.Central's Wildcats are expecting a tight game with Western, according to Andy Kissling, sports editor forCentral's newspaper.

Following the weekend games Western will be on the road again when they take on Simon Fraser Tuesday night. the buzzer, but still a point shy of victory. Thiswas the third time in four years the Vikings lost to the Wolves by one point at Monmouth. One of thefew highlights for Western was Dave Wood's eight assists, which broke the season record of 170, set by Bob Nicol last year. Wood has 171 assists with four games left. Forward Greg Smith led Vik scorerswith 21 points and had 11 rebounds. Visser also had 11 rebounds and added 13 points. Wood andFuhrer each scored 12 points.

The apple pie was the 40th editionof the All-American Red Heads women's basketball team, a group of touring professional superstars who challenge men's teams across the country. The Red Heads' victims this time were the Super Studs, amake-shift team which included Sehome faculty, KPUG radio personalities, a member of the BellinghamPolice Department and Western's very own studs, Gary Gilmore, Bill Mendelson and Craig Nicholes. Inthe contest, sponsored by Sehome's freshman class, the Studs could not transfer their he-man nameinto winning baskets as they lost 81-61. The Red Heads in spirit are much the same as the HarlemGlobetrotters, with one basic exception â€” they must have red hair. Les Wrenn, the carrot toppers' 6-foot-4 coach, explained the background to the stipulation. "We want to project the image of the All-American girl, and red hair is characteristic of that," he said. But when asked if all the players were "true reds," Wrenn chuckled and said, "Well, all I can say is only their hairdresser knows for sure, but I'll talkto ANY ball players (about a spot on the team.)" Being a Red Head basketball player is more than justgoing out on a court in a striped red, white and blue uniform, performing entertaining antics and playing afun game. It is a long term, salaried job in which the gals are on the road for seven straight months, fromOctober to May. Though their wide smiles, outlined in fire engine red lipstick, don't show any fatigue, the team plays almost every night. They travel 60,000 miles through 40 states in one season â€” and that'seight people together in a 24-foot limousine. "But the girls wouldn't be here if they didn't enjoy it," Wrenndrawled in his North Carolina accent. "Six out of seven are recent college graduates from all over thecountry and probably just want to play ball for a while longer before raising a family or getting anotherjob." "Most girls write letters to our home office back in Arkansas asking for a tryout. Other players I find on the road during games and ask them if they would be interested in playing for us. "What we basicallylook for in a player is charm, personality, attitude, basketball ability and the ability to entertain a crowd."Wrenn said the Red Heads are engaged primarily in show business. "We play to entertain people," heexplained. "We play by the touring professional men's rules, which stipulate no zone defenses and nothree second count in the key. It makes it a much faster moving game." And how do the men react tothis? "Well, if the men realize the whole game is just a show and for fun and don't take it too seriously,then it's more fun for them, us and the crowds too," explained 5-foot-4 Marilyn "Ralph" Nelson, teamcomedienne. "But some guys really play all out. I remember we were at this big high school in Arizona,and I think we spent more time on the floor than standing up. The refs really thought it was funny."Ralph was the star of the show Monday night. When the mischievious, wide-eyed, freckle-faced guardwasn't crawling through someone's legs, she was on someone else's shoulder stuffing the ball. And yet,she still had time to score 20 points. But this wasn't enough to satisfy Wrenn. Even though the gamesare for fun, he still evaluates every game through his eyes as a basketball coach. "We had a very poorshooting night," he said scanning the scorebook after the game. "I really had to get on those girls a fewtimes tonight during time outs for their poor shooting." "Look at that . . . only 23 out of 40 shots," Wrennsaid disgustedly. "What is that, only about 54 per cent? Usually we shoot at least 75-80 per cent." "Weeven missed a lot of our specialized crowd pleaseis. What a poor shooting night," he repeated. "Maybelast night's lay-off was the problem." Whatever it was, despite their "fun" philosophy and their All-American goody-goody image, the world champion Red Heads aire still a basketball team and no doubtcaught hell from their coach that night.

A 7-6 edging of the University of Oregon (UO) here last Sundaybroke a 10-game losing streak for the Vik ruggers and let them taste victory for the first time since early October. By winning, the ruggers also earned a split on their two-game, four-day Oregon road trip.Oregon State University (OSU) walked all over Western 42-4 in a Friday meeting in Corvallis. In the UOmatch, the Viks had to come from behind to take the lead and then watch nervously as a Duckpenalty kick veered wide on the last play of the game. The Western second team dropped both of theircontests, losing 34-6 to OSU and 9-6 to Oregon. Don Daust took care of all the scoring for the Viks with a penalty kick, a tri and a conversion kick.

The Focusof Interest The new Nakamichi 500 Dual-Tracer was designed to be the most advanced two-headcassette deck ever made. From the standpoint of extended flat frequency response, noise, dynamicrange, wow flutter, and speed stability the Nakamichi 500 will outperform any other cassette recorderwith the exception of our own Tri-T racers. Nor is this surprising, for in creating the 500, Nakamichiengineers employed much of the advanced technology developed for the Tri-T racers. The tape transport,for example, uses a servo-controlled D.C. motor for rock-steady speed and features automatic end-off-tape shut-off with complete mechanical disengagement. But the real design triumph of the Nakamichi 500 is its Focused-Gap, a miracle of precision assembly. By critically maintaining a focused gap of 1.5microns, more signal can be put on the tape (particularly at high frequencies) with lower distortion. Andmaintaining this same critical width in playback, assures extended high frequency response to beyond17,000 Hz. A host of other features, such as Dolby NR circuitry, a three position tape selector and 45 dB peak level meters don't begin to tell the quality story of this extraordinary machine. For the best, you'llhave to listen and learn.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

The AS passed a 50 per cent across the board pay hike, which was later revised. Winter quarter the college was hit with a barrage of legislative financial bombs. 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. Springquarter Western talked w about the TRI-ED program and â€¢Â§ the creation of a business and ^economics cluster college.

"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. I expect to go right to work," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front- Ttie^UyiJiine 311975^ Gabriel Gladstar returns for musical Farewell Reunion with oldfriends GRANT RANLETT AS THE FULL moon glowed an eerie orange and disappeared into totaldarkness, Gabriel Gladstar played to a gathering of 200 in the Viking Union lounge May 24. Theperformance marked the close of their two-night Farewell Reunion, an event that brought them all the way from San Francisco to bid a musical hello and goodby to the town that had given them the boost of theircareer. 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!" AT THE PLATE - Connie " ^ teeth inanticipation of bashing a homerun, but settles for a single. _ â€” Starving for publicity, the Western Front softball team posed for a Western Front photographer between innings of a recent game, while Tar, ateam mascot, looks unimpressed in the foreground.

In a vote of six for, one opposed, and one abstention, the board adopted a motion whichwould provide for salary increases ranging from 25 per cent to 150 per cent, depending upon positioninvolved. It was passed pending a report from AS Business Manager Leslie Nix on whether the extrafunds, which amount to over $7000, are available, and if so, when. There is still dissention amongmembers of the board as to whether the salary increases will be retroactive. Because of a motion passed in October, the increase, as it stands now, is retroactive to fall quarter. "But this is still subject toaction," Student Caucus Chairman Steve Barrett said. "It will be brought up at the next board meeting."The present salary schedule shows salaries ranging from $50 for some level five positions (Hand in HandCoordinators) up to $300 for level-one positions, which include the AS president and the programcommissioner. The schedule adopted Thursday lessens the disparity between the upper and lower levels, with the largest percentage increases going to the lower level positions. Level one positions willincrease from $300 to $400, while some level five positions can anticipate a pay hike of 150 per cent,from $50 to $125. "The AS hasn't had a salary increase in several years," Barrett said. "So in effect, withinflation, they were getting paid less and less. Working for the AS is not an activity, it's a job." Someboard members expressed dissatisfaction with the narrowing of the gap between the upper (level one) and lower level positions. AS Vice President Hugh Larkin said, "That would be fine if this was a socialisticsociety." Jack Fulk, speaking from the floor, said "Level one is still getting the biggest chunk of thesalary increase." The board action follows a similar one made on Nov. 21, when it passed-a controversial50 per cent across-the-board increase. It later rescinded its decision following heavy criticism from some students who felt the board acted without sufficiently analyzing the current AS pay scale and withintentions of personal gain. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1975 Vol. 67 No. 26 Ten Cents Olscamp looksthe campus over DENNIS RITCHIE Paul Olscamp is taking a crash course in how to be Western'spresident. He made a field trip last week to visit the campus for the first time after being chosen inNovember to succeed College President Charles J. Flora July 15. The 37-year-old vice chancellor forstudent affairs at Syracuse University spent a hurried three days hunting for a house and gettingacquainted with the people and campus of Western. PAUL OLSCAMP In an interview Friday, the veryrelaxed Olscamp named Western's budget and academic planning as his main sources of homework. He estimated he spends 30 per cent of his time learning about Western and planning his administration, inaddition to fulfilling his present obligations at Syracuse. Olscamp plans to be deeply involved in choosing a permanent academic vice president. An interim vice president is currently being chosen. Within amonth after his arrival, Olscamp expects to appoint a committee to find a permanent office holder.Outside of finding a new academic vice president and dean for Fairhaven, Olscamp said he doesn'tanticipate any changes in the administration. He is, however, closely studying faculty structure. Askedfor his opinion of the proposed doctorate program in educational psychology, Olscamp demurred, saying, "I won't comment on anything that concerns the present running of the college without first checking tosee if I could do harm. I am not yet president of Western." He has committed himself in writing to bepresident for six years and mentioned 10 years as being "long enough." Olscamp revealed a four-yearprivate contract for evaluation by the Boad of Trustees. He explained, "This was a mutual request by meand the trustees. Every four years, we will decide if we're happy with each other." After three days oncampus, Olscamp appears to be happy with the people on it. "The feeling of friendliness and welcome Ihave received is great. I can't wait to get here," he said. During his visit, Olscamp got a brief glimpse ofthe Fairhaven Bridge Project and came away very impressed. "I'm wholly in favor of things like the BridgeProject. I really want to explore ^ increasing outside involvement with education. Â§. "We should involveourselves in the ? educational process, wherever it occurs: in Â§ downtown Bellingham or on top of Mt.Baker, if Â°' it falls within monetary and service to campus obligations." DOWNHILL SLIDE - Aftermidterms, it's all downhill for many students. To some, the work load drifts down; for others, it's theirGPA. Even though the economy seems headed in the same direction, a seven-dollar lift ticket doesn'tstop many skiers at Mt. Baker. Possibility of strike discussed by AFT If Western's classified staffstrikes the campus later this â€¢month the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), Local 2084, willhonor the union's picket lines. The AFT voted unanimously Wednesday to support the WashingtonFederation of State Employes (WFSE) in their demands for a higher salary. At the same time the unionvoted not to get involved in a picket-line stand but only to honor those of the WFSE. Although . notimetable has been drawn up, a date in late February is likely for any strike. The WFSE, a state-wideunion of some 14,000 is seeking a salary increase of 31 per cent over a two-and-a-half year period. Gov. Dan Evans has proposed an increase of 12 per cent effective March 1 and an additional six per centnext September. Any further increase would have to be worked out by the legislature. Meanwhile a six-member committee composed of faculty and students has been formed to come up with a working planin the event Western is hit by the strike. "Right now the situation is so indefinite that we don't evenknow if Western will be involved," Don Cole, college business manager and head of the committee, said. ,,It's not a Western strike per se." Resolution opposes tuition increases Western's Board of Trusteesvoted to support a statement concerning the opposition of tuition increases. The statement claims anyincrease in tuition would create more hardships for students. See page 2.

J ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 2 ---------- Wester^ Front ^uesMy,: February 1^1975 Costigan predicts hope for mankind BRUCE HAYES "Sincethe scientific revolution of the 17th century, man has made many technological advancements. But,because over the same period human nature has remained the same, technology has not been used forthe good of man and may bring about his downfall." These words came from Giovanni Costigan, aVietnam expert and one of the University of Washington's most honored professors. An elderly small man with billowy white hair, he looks like somebody's grandfather. His words had the tinge of grandfatherlyadvice, but even though he is soft-spoken, the point he made last week before a crowd of 75 people in the Fairhaven Auditorium was a serious one. "Many people feel the past has no relevance to the present,"Costigan said. "The study of history would be pointless except that human nature has remainedobstinately the same." Many scientists take human nature for granted, assuming that it is basicallygood, he said, but fail to take note of the lessons of history. "Every single revolution since 1776 hasbeen predicated on the supposition that human nature could be changed, that a new human being would come into existence. America's forefathers thought in the new world that all that was degrading inEurope would be left behind." But, he said, the hope for mankind was marred by the failure to includecertain groups of the population in the constitution, such as Indians, blacks and women who compriseone half of the population. "The follies and vices" of Europe and Asia were repeated in America, such 'asslavery, the crushing of the early labor movement and the pacifist witch-hunts of the 1920s. Revolutionhas accomplished much good, according to Costigan, but has failed in the fundamental alteration of man. "The French revolution didn't change the nature of man. The dreams of the Russian idealists werequenched in blood. "It has failed to change human nature. What we were we are," he said. Costiganadded that no change in technology guarantees a change in human nature. He called for a need to linkthe knowledge of man with the knowledge of science. "Science has a good deal to do to educatemankind," he said. There are people, Costigan said, who think Trustees opposed to tuition increaseGIOVANNI COSTIGAN that coming atomic destruction is no different from the coming of other weaponsin the past, that a rusty dagger is no different than an atomic bomb. This is true for the individual, hesaid, but in half a second 100,000 people can be killed at Hiroshima. "Technologists ignore history, too.Whatever their good intentions, they will repeat the errors of the past because they don't even inquire how to prevent them." "The Vietnam War could have been avoided," Costigan said, "if the lessons of historyhad been applied." The Korean War proved that a ground war in Asia was pointless. The cost of the waris estimated at $350 billion, according to Costigan. America could have become the "happiest society on earth" if the money had been used against poverty and to clean the air and water instead of pouring itinto "the quagmire of Vietnam." "Man's survival is at stake," he said. "The effort for the human race tosurvive is necessary as never before." "The planet is seething with hate, jealousy, fear and suspicion.War has always been a luxury. Mankind can't live without it but now it's too expensive." Costigan quoted Albert Einstein: "Remember your humanity and forget the rest." STEVE THOMPSON Support for aresolution opposing tuition increases during the 1975-77 biennium was passed Wednesday byWestern's Board of Trustees. The board also granted tenure to Patrick J. Mclntyre of the chemistrydepartment and heard a report on the early release program for prisoners to study at Western. In amove to prevent any increase in student tuitions the board voted to support a statement by the Council of Washington State Student Body Presidents. The statement claims any increase in tuition would create more hardships for students. College President Charles J. Flora said an increase in tuition would cause a drop in enrollment and a cutback in state funds. T h e b o a r d v o t ed unanimously to grant tenureand promotion to Mclntyre. It w a s . done because the Reduction-In-Force (RIF) program will eliminateMclntyre several weeks before he would receive his promotion and tenure. The board listened to twoplans for faculty and exempt staff salary recommendations. One would be a step or set amount increase while the other would be a percentage across-the-board increase. An investigation of the two plans was authorized if the All-College Senate could not decide. A report was heard on Project Perfect, an earlyrelease program for prisoners to study at Western. It was voted to have the parole officer and director ofthe project at one of the next two meetings. Back private schools The Senate Higher EducationCommittee has approved a c o n s t i t u t i o n a l amendment aimed at permitting what legislation hasfailed to do â€” provide state financial aid to students attending private colleges and universities Thestate Council on Higher Education (CHE) had requested the measure because the state Supreme Courthad invalidated statutes and appropriations granting aid to students at p r i v a t e and parochialinstitutions of higher learning. "The will of the people of this state, as expressed by the legislation, hasbeen thwarted by some rather obsolete c o n s t i t u t i o n a l provisions," Richard P. Wollenberg ofLongview said. Wollenberg is a member of CHE. He said the proposed change, which would take effectonly if approved by a two-thirds vote in each house of the legislature and a majority of the voters in ageneral election, would bring the state constitution in line with the federal governing document. Payhikes requested Representatives of faculties from all of Washington's s t a t e - s u p p o r t e d colleges, universities and community colleges have asked for pay increases ranging from 28 per cent to 34 percent. Student perspective major aim of tour guides KAREN CRISPIEN ". . . And this is Wilson Library,which contains over 900,000 volumes," a student wearing a badge marked "Western's Ambassadors"said as he points and leads some high school seniors across Red Square. Western's ambassadors are 12 students who voluntarily give tours of the campus to prospective students. Their primary concern isnot to point out buildings, but to present Western from a student's perspective. They work in connection with the Office of Admissions, under the guidance of Billy Flowers who is a graduate intern. "We're not just tour guides," saicf Joanne Benson, who said she has always been interested in public relations-type work. "We're called 'Ambassadors' and our name reflects our service. We also go to high schoolsto visit and tell them what Western has to offer." Ambassadors also will assist the Admissions Office inApril with College Day, when hundreds of high school seniors from surrounding counties will be bussedin for a day at Western. The guides are not out to present a sales pitch but to provide a service. "Wetell about college from a student's point of view," the \ j fc WE.

"And that, to me, is important." The guides give a basic tour of the campus, stopping at places where visitors show special interests. "They (the visitors) get theacademic questions from admissions counselors," Benson said. "And ask us those that can beanswered easier by a student. When they talk to us they are concerned first and foremost with life-stylethan with the college itself." Questions commonly asked concern dorms, regulations, activities,recreational facilities, student-faculty relations, spare time and quality of the food service. "After mytour, I let them know they are free to come see me if they need me for anything," Benson said. "I letthem know where I'll be, or give them the number of someone else to contact if they have problems."Richardson was the group's one and only member when the program started last winter. Since then, hehas put in more than 70 hours giving tours, and has researched materials to provide extra information for his tours. During the first days of fall quarter, Richardson even put on a tour guide badge and stationedhimself in Red Square to help lost students locate Western's buildings. They told members of the H o us e A p p r o p r i a t i o ns Committee that morale at the institutions is sinking to all-time lows. Theydid admit, however, that the turnover rate among faculty members is not as great as it was in the 1960smany teachers leaving the state are doing so for reasons other than pay. Dennis Curry of the Council on Higher Education said his organization is recommending an immediate 9 per cent increase to befollowed by an 11 per cent boost July 1 and an 8 per cent cost of living increase July 1, 1976. He saidthe council believes the money can be found t h r o u g h careful budget management. The council willsupport a tax increase if one is necessary to fund the salary boost plan, Curry said. College instructorshave lost $1,500 in purchasing power due to inflation since 1967, Curry said. On the other hand thepurchasing power of all other state employes and workers in private and government jobs saw anincrease of $800 during the same period. Henry Siedal, representing the Washington chapter of theAmerican Association of University Professors, demanded a 30 per cent increase spread over the nexttwo years. Siedal said the professors have "developed a feeling that the legislature just doesn't carewhat happens to the state's colleges and universities." The morale issue was raised by Edward Ullman,a University of Washington geology professor. He told committee members that professors haveadopted an "I don't care attitude" because of economic conditions and the fact that their peers in otherstates are better paid. ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February Ih, 197 5 Western Front 3 Alternative energy sources under investigation PENNYWALKER Two Custer men are developing alternative energy systems to help consumers combat thesoaring costs of the energy monopolies. Bill Kitching and Bill De Vine both believe that new sources ofpower will begin to replace existing systems. This would help people who choose alternative energyindependance. Kitching has devoted the last three years to researching hydro-power and developing apelton-type impulse turbine. The impulse turbine will perform for small groups of people as a largehydroelectric system does for a city. Kitching said he became involved in researching hydro-power whenpeople would describe a water source on their property and ask is he knew of an existing way to convertit to power. At the time, he said, there was one company producing such a system, but the cost wasprohibitive to the average consumer. As he saw the demand for small scale water power systemsincreasing, he became more involved in the search for an answer. De Vine, on the other hand, hasexperimented for 20 years with methane gas production. He said any backyard compost pile canproduce this odorless gas. To make the compost pile effectively produce methane three principles mustbe applied; close off and make airtight, establish and maintain a PH balance and maintain thetemperature at about 80 to 100 degrees.

De Vine said twohorses, two cows, 10 chickens and general household waste, run through a methane digestor, canproduce enough energy for a family of four. While it is possible to acquire enough animals to producemethane, hydro-power is dependent upon a water source. The potential power is determined by thevolume of water and the distance it drops. Kitching said putting in a hydro-powered system requires acertain amount of knowledge which has to be applied to each given situation. The planner must realizethat all situations are of an "unusual nature." He said the water used for energy can also be filtered andused, in the home and for irrigation. Local farmers are faced with rising energy costs, DeVine said. "They have been educated by me enough to know that it is possible to convert their liquifying manure tanksinto methane digestors, which is the major cost in methane production." However, farmers are reluctantto convert. "As long as they can flick a switch and get power, they will resist the conversion," he said. .De Vine said brown-outs and black-outs are inevitable and farmers will wait until then before switchingover to methane. He said the extraction of methane gas from animal and vegetable waste has been usedfor many years by people in India, Sweden and Germany for heating and motor fuel. In India alone, thereare more than 5,000 gas plants, some large and some small, helping to relieve' the energy shortage.DeVine cannot understand why Bellingham uses precious natural gas to burn up garbage and sewage.He said the sewage plant could be converted to producing methane gas rather than burning up naturalgas. "I am afraid it will take an energy catastrophe for methane and other alternative energy systems tobe used on a widespread basis, De Vine said. Class surveys downtown use If a student approaches you and asks how often you go out bowling, don't panic. He's only one of 48 students from George Drake'ssocial research class quizzing 100 fellow students about their downtown shopping habits. Askingrespondents to determine how the downtown area can best be put to use, the 15-question survey isbeing m a i l e d out to 1 , 7 00 homeowners under the auspices of the Citizen Input Committee to theCity Council. "Although the survey asks respondants if downtown businesses service their needs it isnot a business survey," Drake said. "It's designed to offer a downtown for everybody." "The community is a dynamic, living thing," Drake Huxley size questioned A hearing of opinions and i d e a s e n t i t l e d ' ' T he Optimum/Maximum Size of Huxley College" held Thursday reviewed the issues of Huxley'sgrowth and faculty size. Student input was desired because of the diversity of opinion among staffmembers as to whether or not the college should continue to grow. Funding is a major factor in growthconsiderations. Lynn Robbins of Huxley faculty said the college might have to play a "numbers game"in order to keep up with growth and influence the state legislature. There is no assurance anything willbe gained by playing the numbers game, according to John Miles of Huxley faculty. Allowing the college to grow so more funds will be allocated is a short-range consideration, according to assistant professor Skip Everitt. Concern should be placed on long-range goals, he said. One of the major problems facingHuxley is the workload instructors carry. It is currently operating on a 59 per cent faculty formula,compared to Western's 72 per cent. Ruth Weiner, Huxley College dean, said that if a "decent formulalevel" could not. be attained then they should forget about Huxley College. The formula is obtained byfinding the ratio of total department credit hours to number of faculty. Her comments referred to bothfaculty size and the quality of education. Because Huxley is an experimental college the formula should be 100 per cent, according to Weiner. But, g i v e n the p r e s e nt R e d u c t i o n - i n - F o r c ecircumstances 85 per cent is more realistic, she said. No decisions were reached and another hearing is being planned. said. "The downtown belongs t o e v e r y b o d y . It's in everybody's interest to make a viable downtown." Drake said the results from the survey will be made available to the city council andthe press. Final returns should be in by mid-March. Drake's class will help tabulate and analyzeincoming responses. In the process they will code, keypunch and run the survey data. The final productwill hopefully provide the basis for a good grade. But besides earning course credit, Drake said thestudents will learn a valuable lesson in future planning. Besides helping the community, they'll helpthemselves, he added. "Most students will be using data in decision making all their lifes," Drake said.Leopold Inn's Goodtime CharMes presents: brew BUCK BONUS BARGAIN With this ticket, the beareris entitled to two $2 burger 'n brew dinners (a $4 value)for $3.

As such, I have felt some obligation to comment on the controversy it has generated, frankly,however, I have not felt that I could compete with those gifted logicians whose ability to use terms like"philistine" and "dork" far outstrip my limited abilities to discourse rationally. One of the humanaccomplishments that has traditionally been seen as having value has been the creation, andexperiencing, of works of art. The works of art available on this campus are not only appropriate, butnecessary. Knowledge that was secure only a short while ago is now obsolete. Values that reflectedmore certain ages have been overthrown. We have experienced a succession of uncomfortablerevolutions. Modern art has shared in this shredding of the expected. Maybe I should mention therelationship established between the sculpture and the surrounding architecture, the brilliant adjustmentof one element to another, or the strength of its silhouette against the sky. Maybe I should mention thejoy some people will participate in when the "ride" is repaired and replaced. Maybe I should applaud thetwist of logic that takes the "junk" of our society and recycles it back into a joyous and humanestatement. I must admit that it is the sculpture's "ineloquence" and its "character" that I most: admire. Ihad thought that the days when new and/or challenging ideas were hounded on campus by ridicule,irrationality, prejudice and incivility were past. I am shocked that James Hitchman and Mary Watrous,among others, demand its removal - will they tell us next which books in the library should be burned?Lawrence Hanson Art faculty STREET bEAT D. STARBUCK GOODWYN ^ LETTERS AbrahamLincoln: Born Feb. 12, 1809 Died April 15, 1865. On February 12, 1865, Abraham Lincoln's 56th birthday passed almost unnoticed. The Confederate Army was dead and the country waited for the corpse to fall. Each new day brought news of another Union victory and Washington residents surged into the streets to celebrate. Lincoln had led half a nation to victory and on his 56th birthday he was hammering out plansfor a just peace. In two months he would be dead and many of his proposals for a compassionatereconstruction of the conquered South would be worthless ashes. Lincoln should never have been shot.Statistically, the odds were all against it. He was the victim of a plot that failed. John Wilkes Booth andhis band of blundering boobs didn't set out to kill the president. In the closing days and hours of Lincoln'slife, fate played a deadly game of tag that touched the president and the people around him. As timestarted its countdown on the president's life, a half dozen incidents and decisions, seemingly unimportantat the time, were shaping the final act. A different conclusion to these decisions or result of the incidentsmay have changed the future of the nation. Booth lived with a dream. Some day he would move amountain and leave his foot prints in its place. The world would remember him forever. The brilliant,pampered egomaniac saw Lincoln as his mountain. His plan was ambitious. He and his half-dozenhenchmen would capture the president and turn him over to the Confederacy. At 2 p.m. March 20, Boothand company were poised for a kidnap plan that had every chance of success. They were to take thepresident from his coach as he rode out of town to attend a matinee performance of "Still Waters RunDeep." Moments before his departure he was prevailed upon to present union troops with a captured flag,instead of attending the production, and the kidnap plot failed. Fate had begun its grisly game now andwouldn't stop until the last grim act spun out. During the following few days, half of Booth's band ofconspirators would leave him because of various incidents not directly related to the plot. Given time,Booth may have recruited other men and pulled off his daring plan. But time was twisting away. Gens.Lee and Johnston were losing a regiment a day. The lights were going out all over the South. Soon theConfederate capital at Richmond would have to be abandoned and there would be no Confederacy to turnLincoln over to. Booth opted for assassination. The game went on. Gen. Grant, in Washington to attendto matters concerning the end of the war, was invited to attend the theater with the Lincolns on theevening of the assassination. He neither attended nor notified the president of his declination. It isimprobable that Lincoln would have gone that night had he known that Grant wasn't coming. Lincolnstated several times during the day that he had no desire to go to the theater that evening, but felt thepeople should have a chance to see Grant. Ward Hill Lamon was the one man most vigilant of Lincoln'ssafety. On the night of April 14 when Lincoln was killed, Lamon was reluctantly in Richmond at Lincoln'sinsistence. Lamon was not there to stand between Lincoln and death. And finally there was Lincoln'sguard, John F. Parker. Parker was a known drunk who had twice been suspended from the police force.His record of laziness and inattention to the details of his job were history. On the night Parker wassupposed to be guarding the life of the nation's president, he and Booth sat in the same bar drinking.Booth was the more dedicated. He left to attend to his work, and Parker stayed. No white lines? Pointsome Editor, Western Front: I can now understand why someone has taken campus Safety andSecurity to court. While" I do not plan to do the same, I am sure many at Western share my experience. I live at Birnam Woods and s u d d e n l y , after parking alongside other cars in front of my apartmentfor Wi quarters, I received two parking tickets. I went to the security department and they informed methis is their new policy. They told me I should have read their car and parking regulations pamphlet. Itstates because I did not park between two white lines I was violating the parking code. The area is well-suited for cars to park, as they always have in the past, but now security is "cracking down" because ofnon-existent white lines. Just look around campus and you will find cars parked "legally" that are notbetween white lines. But my point is this with all the money thab security gets from parking tickets,don't you think they could put some of it back into the college? They could pave radial tire-test areas*like Buchanan Towers Proving Ground, or fill in the hundreds of muffler-ripping pot holes, or, yes, evenpaint a few white lines.

It is also meant toclarify some of the shortcomings as well as assets afforded them in our community. ^ ^ Centersearches for new home J WILLIAM MUNDAY The New Year's Eve fire that closed the Columbia Hoteldowntown caused a lot of obvious damage. It also caused some damage not so easily seen. "The yearcould have started out a lot better for us," Wilma Johnson, director of the Bellingham HandicappedCenter, said. She heads a staff and the 26 mentally-retarded adults who worked at the center. "They'reall out of jobs now. It was a great disappointment to them," she said. Johnson has been director of thecenter since May, and worked as assistant director for a year before that. Finding a new home for thecenter has turned out to be the hardest part of her job so far. The center is temporarily housed at theGarden Street Methodist Church while Johnson and her staff seek a permanent facility. Finding a building which will meet specific federal requirements is a necessity, as the center gets both state and federalfunds. "Since the fire, we have been primarily involved in cleaning and restoring most of the equipmentused in producing our rugs and other woven products," she said. "It's been necessary work, but it doesn't help us as far as being back in business is concerned. What we need most is a building with astorefront on the street level. Then we can start selling again." Johnson said response from thecommunity has been good. The center has received donations of materials as well as money from bothprivate citizens and civic groups since the fire. "Mostly checks with instructions to spend the money aswe see fit," she said. "We have also received help from several volunteers from the special educationprogram at the college. They've been great with our clients." Johnson said this has been important to her clients in terms of providing them with activities and interests while they have no jobs. " "Our clientscome to us from Buckley and Fircrest (both state institutions for the mentally retarded). It is required that they have some type of recreational program available," she said. "Otherwise, we are simply movingthem from a large institution to a small one." Eight of the clients reside at the Hampton Heightsintermediate care facility, operated by Britta McCormack. "On alternate Saturdays, they either swim atthe "Y" or bowl. We have bingo at least once a week, and one of the residents who plays piano hasformed a musical group with piano, drum and several kazoos. Also, they go to SPIN (Serving People InNeed) dances that are put on by the Mgh school students. "We have several large rec rooms, a largeyard for use in the summer, and our own bus for travel. I'm also leasing a 20-acre farm which we mayuse for small gardens and raising three or four cows. Then, of course, they attend church on Sundays,"she added. Johnson, a Bellingham native active in the Bellingham Guilds for Retarded Children the past13 years, was the first paid staff member of the handicapped center. She directs a staff of threesupervisors, one Program for Local Service volunteer, and a sales clerk. While the center is waiting for anew home, Johnson is trying several new ideas which may be incorporated into the center's operations in the future. She will- be trying out a new styrofoam cutting machine which ". . . works something like asaber saw. It cuts around a pattern of whatever shape you like."

While on the job, the employes ofthe center work six hours a day, four days a week. "They don't make a lot of money at this. They justenjoy doing it." Trouble shooting for handicapped CAROLYN CRAIG Helping people to help themselves.And doing a good job of it. That is Western's policy in dealing with the handicapped, and the college has a statewide reputation of doing just that, according to Mary Robinson, affirmative action officer. "Theobjective of our program here at Western is to act mainly as a troubleshooter and facilitator for thehandicapped student," Robinson said. "We offer advice and assistance, but encourage students to solveproblems on their own whenever possible." Robinson has been instrumental in developing andimplementing Western's policies and programs in regard to the handicapped. She was the driving forcebehind the organization of the first help center for the handicapped in 1971. "It's just like a lot of otherthings, nobody else was doing it and it needed to be done," Robinson said. Most problems concerninghandicapped students are dealt with through the Office of Student Affairs. Prior to her acceptance of thefull-time affirmative action position this quarter, Robinson was responsible for academic problems of thehandicapped as associate dean of students. "Many things are double hard for the WHEELCHAIRHASSLES - This gravel walkway leading to Arntzen Hall and the Northwest Building has been criticizedas one of the problem areas for handicapped people on campus. handicapped," Robinson said, "and alltoo often that is not considered. For instance, many professors don't realize what a hardship it is forsomeone who is lipreading when they mumble or talk to the blackboard." Robinson helped to coordinatea number of workshops to acquaint faculty members with the problems handicapped students face. Thecampus also creates many physical obstacles to the handicapped. Many things as elementary as stairsand curbs are not so easily navigated by the student in a wheelchair. "Huxley is bad," Robinson said,"the gravel walkways up the hill weren't made for wheelchairs." "Things are getting done, it just takestime," Robinson said. "Of course, I'm never satisfied with the speed with which things are done aroundhere, but I can't put muself into everyone else's workshoes." Robinson worked for several months prior to the "sudden" appearance of the ramps in front of the Viking Union. Last quarter, Robinson prepared apamphlet which outlines facilities and policies of interest to the handicapped student consideringentrance to Western. The pamphlet* contains information concerning buildings and campus access,describing, for instance, which buildings are easily accessible to students in wheelchairs. It alsoexplains the facilities available in two rooms located in Wilson Library which were created specifically toaid the handicapped, with books in Braille and large print, tape recorders, and record players. A varietyof services for handicapped students are handled by the Office of Student Affairs. These includeadvisement and referral services, and assistance in working with public agencies, such as the StateServices for the Blind. As affirmative action officer, Robinson's main responsibility lies in enforcement ofthe equal employment opportunity policy at Western. This policy prohibits discrimination on the basis ofrace, color, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or, and this is a recent addition, the presence of asensory, mental, or physical handicap. "Handicapped people can do valuable work, they just need to begiven the chance to prove it," Robinson said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 February 11 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Tuesday, February 11, 1?75 â€¢ ? Disabled in dilemna with product design BOBSPEED and BARRY MADDOCKS The average household, comfortable for the majority of people, can bea nightmare for a handicapped person. Product design is a fundamental problem faced by allhandicapped people. Products are made for the "average" consumer, and in the' process, the needs ofthose who live outside a narrow definition of "normal" have been overlooked. As a result, the handicapped minority either must be dependent on others, do without many items others take for granted or gothrough much more trouble to get a task done. Handicapped people, including people whose onlyhandicap is being left-handed, have been refused jobs because of machine design or other factors mostpeople never consider. Most office desks, for example, won't accommodate the width of a wheelchair.And even left-handed people often have trouble working in machine or car repair shops and otherbusinesses due to current design standards. Products requiring modification for use by the handicappedare all around us: clothes, homes, automobiles and other transportation, and home appliances. Kitchenand appliance design represent one of the biggest hassles in everyday life for the blind, the physicallydisabled, the deaf and the aged. Deaf people have special needs including beds that trigger an alarm inevent of fire or other emergency. The blind need sound signals and Braille or raised lettering on doors,switches and signs. For the physically disabled and the aged, needs include more one-story, groundlevel BARRY MADDOCKS - Even sharpening a pencil can be difficult. housing. Weak people havespecial problems with heavy doors and many types of faucets, to name two examples. Many physicallyhandicapped people require specially designed clothing. Appliances requiring use of two hands (sewingmachines) or strength (irons) are frustrating items. Transportation to stores or work is another problem.Blind people need Braille or raised lettering to tell busses and routes apart. To people in wheelchairs,busses are totally inaccessible without assistance. Through product redesign, many of these problemscould be alleviated. Maddocks: 'productivity is the key' BOB SPEED If action is needed on behalf ofhandicapped people at Western, in Bellingham or in the state of Washington, Barry Maddocks will befound in the thick of it. Maddocks, who suffers from cerebral palsy, is severely physically handicapped.Speech is difficult for him, but what he has to say is worth slowing down a few minute to listen. Oncampus, Maddocks works to see that handicapped people - can more easily get to classes, acrossstreets or wherever they may need to go. At city council meetings, he voices concern over the fact thatthe only way a wheelchair-confined person can reach the council chambers is by way of an elevatorleading to the city jail; or that low-rent housing, essential to the handicapped and the aged, isdisappearing, leaving nowhere else to go. Maddocks is a local expert on the problems of thehandicapped, and is a member of the Washington State Governor's Committee for the Handicapped.There, his expertise is valuable in drafting legislation to help the handicapped. Maddocks was a studentat Western two years ago, majoring in business administration and plans to return. Currently, he attendsclasses locally, learning Braille and sign language. "It's comparable to learning a foreign language," hesaid. His goal is a job helping the handicapped. This will require communication with blind and deafpeople. "To me, money is secondary," Maddocks said. "What counts more than anything else is that we (handicapped) help ourselves with our basic needs and that we help our neighbors help each other." ToMaddocks, productivity is the key. "Whether a person is handicapped because of age, birth defect ordisease or accident," he said, "that person needs to be productive in order to a c h i e v e confidence and self-esteem %2^ q/ a* etea+*. *4 /tzteti/Sntd c~^Â»p, ktcn *A a /ef/Â£ J0*ne/t4tt$* At yem4weefAeatf. r 'cu give fat 4e/nr,/n,t?ia *0 "evetv 9**S fove4* lt;7 /? lt;^S(! \ wet4. a v e Y ouRemembered...)

Corner of Holly and Cornwall 733-4320 A Deaf couple gives view of silence GARY JOHNSON Glenn and Betty Bocock face many of thesame obstacles other young married couples face and one more â€” they are both deaf. The Bococksdon't let their loss of hearing handicap their life style. They scuba dive, back pack, attend concerts andplays. Both can speak but not all deaf people can. They expressed discontent with the phrase "deaf and dumb" which our society uses to mean deaf and without speech. In England, the terms deaf with speech and deaf without speech are used. Deaf and dumb in our society has the connotation of deaf and stupidwhich is not accurate. Most deaf people without speech h^ve the capacity to speak but have neverlearned' it because of their deafness. They are not stupid. Glenn has been deaf all his life and learned tospeak. Betty became deaf at the age of four dvje to the measles and could already speak. The Bococksmet in Seattle, have been married for almost four years and are presently living on Lummi Island for the"peace and quiet." "It couldn't be any better," Glenn said. "We have the same handicap and understandeach other," Betty said. "Most people who are deaf marry a deaf person. It's very common within the deaf community." The Bococks have taught sign language through the free university in Bellingham for threequarters and plan to teach it again. "Sign language is very easy to learn. If I can teach it to "my dog I can teach it to anybody," Glenn said. Their dog, a huge black great dane, is named "clap, clap" in signlanguage. He is called when the Bococks clap their hands twice. The dog knows many commands thatare everyday signs for the deaf and is trained to come to them when their doorbell rings.

Blind find help at library BILL GRAVES Wilson Library has aspecial room with books that talk. The room contains equipment that enables the blind and those withonly partial vision to read. And the library provides a second room without the special equipment wherethe visually handicapped can study. Originally there was only one room. A second room was providedlater because some of the equipment in the resource room was noisy and distracting to students whowere trying to concentrate. The resource room was first made available in October 1972. Except for thetelevision monitor provided by Wilson Library, all of the equipment in the resource room has beenprovided by contributing organizations. The Bellevue Lions Club, for example, donated a Braille typewriterfor the room. A large print version of "Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary" "was purchased with part of a memorial fund created in honor of Nick Borovikoff, a blind student and Western graduate whodied in the summer 1972. The Northwest Foundation for the Blind contributed a reel to reel tape recorder. Other equipment in the room includes a record player, closed circuit TV, Braille version of the "American Vest Pocket Dictionary," Braille version of "Webster's Student Dictionary," Braille version of the "NewTestament," and catalogs from the American Printing House for the Blind for ordering Braille publications, large print publications, music publications, educational aids and talking books. In order to use the room a student must obtain a permit from the Office of Student Affairs. This permit is exchanged at thelibrary's circulation desk for a key to one of the two rooms. When the student is finished, he turns thekey in and gets his permit back. Besides visually handicapped students, only readers for the blind andpeople making tapes for the blind are allowed to use the rooms, Karlin Frederick, assistant to AssociateDean of Students, said. * â€¢ # â€¢ :1E 4*4 4Ut "MJfa. â€¢â€¢:Â« * â€¢â€¢â€¢. â€¢#*.* BRAILLE â€” Resources for visually handicapped students are available at Wilson Library. Cross said visuallyhandicapped students are not required to use the resource room or the special study room. There areother small rooms and sound-proof booths throughout the library that blind students can use to recordand listen to recordings. Though currently there are fewer visually handicapped students at Western than usual, Frederick said the rooms have been used a lot in the past and even have been crowded at times.The library will make provisions for other handicapped students as the need arises, Cross said. It has anelavator that those in wheel chairs can use. Tffey can come through the basement service door, use aphone just inside, and call for the elevator. Handicapped children 'get in the swim' at Carver Gym MONAJOHNSON About 40 handicapped people, mostly children, get into the swim of things every Saturdaymorning at Carver Gym's pool. A staff of seven volunteers and six paid workers, most of them Westernstudents, operate a swimming program as part of an all-day recreation program run for physically and em o t i o n a l l y handicapped persons. The program is supported by state and federal funds. Thechildren arrive at campus on a bus. In the locker rooms the swimmers undress with as little aid from thestaff as possible and then sit at the pool's edge waiting for the signal to hop in. Once they are in thewater, they participate in group exercise for about five minutes to warm up according to Rick Anderson,a graduate student involved with the program. The exercises consist of practicing proper breathing,kicking and stroking. The large group is then divided into four smaller ones and participates in one halfhour of lessons. After 15 minutes of free time to swim the activity in the pool is concluded with a game iftime permits. About 30 of the children are brought from two group homes in the Bellingham area and the rest of the children are from families in the community. Several adults often come from a rest home. W e s t e r n student Pat Reichenberger was active in the program this fall as part of a requirement in aclass for special education majors. This quarter he is continuing as a volunteer. "Many of the kids don'tget much exercise so they tire easily," Reichenberger said. "Swimming is something almost anybodycan learn, and it's good physical activity for just about anyone." Keeping the children's attention, getting them to concentrate and overcoming e y e - h a n d or eye-foot coordination are the major problems inworking with the handicapped, Reichenberger said. The program can still use more volunteers,according to Anderson. Volunteers do not have to be outstanding swimmers, as a lifeguard is at thepool at all times, Anderson said. Interested persons should contact the Special Education Office atMiller Hall 318.

"I think they're the best because we have so many workshops and activitycenters," Thompson said. "Some counties don't have any of these programs. To my knowledge, we'reway ahead of everybody." The Whatcom County Board for the Developmentally Disabled oversees all the various guilds, agencies and committees that provide these services. According to a board report, thereare over 100 agencies and organizations which pump upwwards of $1.5 million into help for thedevelopmentally disabled. Under the board's definition, developmentally disabled people include the blind, retarded, victims of cerebral palsy, and people with almost any type of handicap which retards theirability to earn a living and function in society. Here is a partial list of the major programs available for thedevelopmentally disabled in the county: -Serving People in Need (SPIN), which consists of area highschool students who provide social events for mentally retarded teenagers and adults. -Workshop for the Handicapped, now located in the Garden Street Methodist Church because fire razed their old workshopin the Columbia Hotel. Their activities include weaving, sewing and woodworking. The workshop will holda sale of rugs, placemats and other work tomorrow and Thursday at the church to raise funds for a newbuilding. -Hampton Heights, an intermediate care facility housing adult retarded, provides room andboard and some personal care. - S a t u r d a y Recreation Program, which presently providesrecreational opportunities for 61 people of all ages at Roosevelt School and swimming in Western's pool. -Washington Association of Training Centers, Inc. which comprises three programs. A preschoolprogram, presently serving 12 children, prepares them for enrollment in public schools, includingdevelopment of self-help skills, motor c o o r d i n a t i o n , communication skills and interpersonalawareness. A post-school program for people unable to work, emphasizes the development of social,motor and basic living skills through relationships with peers and the community and includes recreationand art and crafts. And, Northwest Industries, an employment training program that teaches skills andwork habits leading to a further stage of employability. In addition, there are two new group homes, onein Ferndale housing 10 people up to 18-year-olds and the Illahee group home in Bellingham which houses 20 people 19-years-and older. There are also programs at Whatcom Community College, severalsummer camps including the Salvation Army Camp at Timberlake and Camp Horizon in Lynden and aChild Studies Clinic in Bellingham which tests children to determine if they are developmentally disabled. The city government also is working to help developmentally disabled people overcome the problemsthey encounter in the'"normal" world. Among projects funded by the Bellingham City Council for 1975 are: texturing crosswalk lines, putting Braille and large print labels on bus benches indicating their location,leveling city sidewalks, putting raised numbers inside and outside existing elevators and putting Brailleand print cards on buses, indicating name and number. Also funded by the city council are programs tobuild wheelchair ramps on at least 75 curbs in the business district, signs indicating wheelchair accessto public buildings, and the publication of a brochure indicating all facilities that can accommodate thephysically handicapped. Students1 designs aid disabled SUKI DARDARIAN Ronnie's brain wasdamaged at birth, Tim and Gary both are victims of cerebral palsy and Mark is confined to a wheelchair. What separates these children from other handicapped people is that Western technology studentshave done and still are. doing things to make life a little easier for them. Unable to speak or control hermovements, Ronnie's main mode of communication was by using alphabet cards strung over thefireplace. Her mother would assist her in selecting the right cards through which to convey her message. That was until students working through the Western Design Center became aware of R o n n i e ' sproblem and developed a device to facilitate communication for her. D a n N o v a k , Scott Richardson,Ann Sabee and Margaret Jaske pooled their e f f o r t s last spring and d e v e l o p e d a machine w h ic h - w i t h slight arm pressureâ€”enables Ronnie to indicate "yes," "no," and "maybe." This ' project,and many more, are products of center activity. The center was developed for students who wanted totake on projects geared towards community service. Although the designs are developed directly for the ' people of the community, many other handicapped people are indirectly benefiting from the designstudents' efforts. "Our object is to design things for human use," Marvin Southcott of the technologydepartment and director of the center said. "If the students can learn to design for severely limitedhumans, they can apply that skill to all sorts of designs." Dan Novak, a design student in-technology,has now devised' another system through which Rommie can communicate. He's designed a complexvariation of a typewriter. This device takes advantage of the very limited range of movement of Ronnie'sleft forearm, the only part of her body over which she has control. Another device is a book page-turnerfor a woman who is totally paralyzed, except for her head. This paraplegic woman operates theautomatic page-turner through the motion of her head. "This device is a prototype and still needs thebugs worked out of it," Novak said. Tim was another youngster thankful for the appearance of Westernstudents. Tim was destined to remain in a wheelchair or to lie on his back . . . until Leonard Parks andDavid Wege attended to his problem. Parks and Wege created a bright red prone body support whichenables Tim's head to be supported while lying on his stomach. This new position frees Tim's arms,which permits him to play, a pastime that has great therapeutic value. Tim's therapist has stated thedevice is assisting in straightening out Tim's taut-muscled legs. Gary is another child in the sameposition as Tim. Dan Foley and John Solis designed a plexiglass swivel chair and desk, which gives himsupport across his chest and under his arms. This allows Garv to exercise his abdomen muscles andlower torso. Now Gary can play, too. Mark was confined to a wheelchair. When technology studentsJohn Gunther, Gene Fosheim and Kenneth Erlwine learned of Mark's disability, they designed a wheeled crawler for him. The crawler helps Mark to coordinate his arm and leg movements. F o l l o w i n g M ar k 's introduction at the hospital to the new device, he immediately set off down the hall oblivious toanything but his newly acquired freedom. "What we are doing is a p p l y i n g humanity and technology for the benefit of t h e human condition," Southcott said. "And at the same time we're helping thepeople who aren't ~_being helped."

The institutional loan offers students a maximumof $300 per quarter with 6 per cent interest. Repayment periods vary from 30 days to six months.Emergency loans require a personal interview with a financial aids counselor. Upon approval, the loanmay be received that day. Institutional loans, adjusted to meet the students needs require a personalinterview, advance payment of the interest and a guarantor who is financially able to repay the loan if the borrower cannot.

B i r n a m Wood is c o l l e g e - o w n e d studentapartments on College Parkway east of Buchanan Towers. Previously enforcement in this area waslimited to keeping fire lanes clear for emergency vehicles and other traffic. According to R.G. Peterson,security director, "We have started enforcing the Birnam Wood lot just like any other lot on campus,except that permits are not required on cars." Peterson said this policy was at the request of thehousing office and had been approved by Housing Director Pete Coy. However, Coy stated he was notaware of any recent change in the enforcement policy. "To my understanding we are enforcing parking(in Birnam Wood) in fire lanes and in front of garbage dumpsters," said Coy. "This has always been thepolicy and there is no change to my knowledge." Reputation should equal quality Editor, Western Front: The arguments used in defense of "For Handel" are fascinating. Left-handed students plead for moredesks Editor, Western Front: Western's current enrollment is 8,697. That means, according to nationalpercentages that 12.3 per cent, or 1,070, of. these students are left-handed. When will the college beginto show these people some consideration? There are left-handed -desks in only two of 85 classroomsâ€” in Arntzen Auditorium and Lecture Hall 4. The total number of left-handed desks is 47. Forty-sevendesks for 1,070 students! We feel that at least 10 per cent of all desks should be left-handed. If you areright-handed, imagine taking a long final screwed around in a left-handed desk. We think you'll see whywe want more desks for left-handed students. Robert A. Lewis Eric Grant Dale Capps Kay GregoryRick Lee Dennis McManus Doug McCalee Left-Handed Students Committee Nikonos STATE HOLLY734-5900 Virginia Wright said students are unable to judge art. Apparently only wealthy foundationexecutives have this rare ability. Di Suvero labels his critics "Philistines." He assures us that Handelwould have liked having a tripod named in his honor, though I suspect the baroque master would ratherhave seen the well worn pianos in the music building repaired. Bob Speed claims student c r i t i c shave "red neck attitudes" with "overtures of Archie Bunker." Moreover, they i g n o r e e n v i r o n m e n t al devastation, the plight of the poor, and are candidates for a logging camp! Such incisive argument isirrefutable. Richard Francis admires it because its creator appreciates B e e t h o v e n quartets, is"critically acclaimed," "much admired," has had works accepted elsewhere,. and is an " e l o q u e n tand humanely educated man." Unfortunately these narrow minded students just can not understand that reputation should equal quality. Gwendolyn Gottberg likes it because Di Suvero hopes lovers will holdhands beneath it. Others point out that it has "strength and size," is "lyrical and light," and "from everyangle the lines change." It introduces "new forms and perspectives" on the campus and "brings motionto the plaza which before was lifeless and bare." These descriptions fit any Rockefeller owned oilderrick. Since capitalist art reflects the taste of the bourgeoisie, why not rechristen "For Ford" andnationalize Di Suvero after he is through with the oil companies.

Asst. coach StanBianchi Randall philosophy rubs off a 21-1 28-18 BART POTTER The job of junior varsity basketballcoach is thankless. It requires versatility and long hours of work; it is an unpaid position. Stan Bianchi, a 1966 Western graduate returned this year to coach the jayvees and assist head coach Chuck Randall."I was glad to have a chance to work under Coach Randall," Bianchi said. He said his entire philosophyof coaching was learned from Randall. "He's been kind of a father to me," Bianchi said. Bianchi was athree-year letterman for Randall and was captain of Western's 1966 Evergreen Conference championshipteam. He has held school records for field goal and free throw accuracy. After graduation, Bianchi took a job at tiny Adna High School in southwest Washington, where he becaue a jack-of-all-trades. In addition to teaching biology and physics, he head-coached football and track, assisted in basketball, and drove a school bus.in the morning. The next year he moved to Blaine High School. While head basketball coachthere, his teams compiled a 61-45 record. His 1974 squad placed third in the State "A" tournament.Bianchi said basketball has changed little since he started playing at Western. "Players are bigger,stronger, and better coached now," he said. Rule changes in the game have been beneficial, he said,with one exception. "I'd like to see the 'stuff brought back," Bianchi said. Bianchi said other coacheshave complained of modern-day athletes' declining interest and dedication toward sports. However, hehas never found that to be true of Western basketball. "I think players here are as dedicated or morededicated to basketball than when I was playing," he said. For the future, Bianchi would like to obtain his principal's certification. He is on sabbatical leave from Blaine and likely will return there. He would like tocoach again, he said, because "I really enjoy the kids I work with." OSU ruggers learn on tour OregonState University's rugby club came to Bellingham with a 5-2-1 record, but had a lot more experience than that record shows. This past summer the Beaver team toured Wales and England. OSU coach WoodyBennett said it was a "great educational experience and we hope we can pass on some of what welearned to our opponents " "We all learned the origin of the game and the little tricks most of theirplayers have picked up playing the game all their lives," he continued. "The least experienced guy weplayed against over there had been playing rugby nine and a half years." Bennett was also impressedwith the foreign "more skilled" players who have organized leagues even down to the "Pee Wee" level."They play with such excellence and especially a finesse of passing. It is unbelievable. They were all so skilled that it was like playing against 15 backs at all times," Bennett said. The OSU rugby club is notfunded through the athletic department but through the recreational department and received studentbody money to go on their tour. Bennett teaches the rugby class there in the winter and spring quartersbut is not paid Oregon State scored two second half tries and made good on both conversions to edgeWestern's Rugby Club 12-8 last Sunday. The match was played at Greenlake's Evans Pool playfield inSeattle after snow and ice forced cancellation of the scheduled matchup behind Carver Gym Saturdayafternoon. Stan Fritz and Kelowna Crow scored early tries to give Western an 8-0 halftime lead, butOSU roared back with fresh players in the second period to wear down and polish off the ,Viks. for hiscoaching duties. He also works in a local tavern. "Never letting the ball out of control" was the mostimportant thing the OSU players learned on their tour, according to the coach. Surely the Western rugby club noticed that last Sunday. Western has four home matches left for the winter season. Feb. 15 -Langley, B.C.

The victory avenged a 30-17 loss last month. "This is anupset. We were really up for them and we just turned it around," a happy coach Rick Iversen said. "Tom Weinheimer fat 177 pounds) and Mike Clark (at 190 pounds) really did a job tonight." With Westerndown by four points, Weinheimer tied in his match with Greg Lowvier and Clark beat Lou Christian, 9-0.The SFU match was wrestled according to freestyle, rather than intercollegiate rules, and this had someeffect on Western's performance. Sencenbaugh and Aigner posted 3-1 won-lost records to leadWestern. Dave Chapman scored a pin over his opponent from Whitworth. The Vikings travel to KlamathFalls, Ore., for the E v e r g r e e n C o n f e r e n ce championships this weekend. Looking back on theseason, Iversen said he really can't pick out any outstanding individuals on his team because so manyof them have improved since the start of the season. They ended the season with a 5-8 record. Clark'swin, coupled with two SPC forfeits to Steve Wiles (118) and Steve Morgan (heavyweight), cinched thematch for Western. Other Western winners were Mark Sencenbaugh (at 150 pounds) and Bruce Aigner(at 167 pounds) over Dave Manohan and Dave Hagen, respectively. "Mark (Sencenbaugh) did a goodjob tonight. He tied his man the last time they wrestled," said Iversen. Western also beat WhitworthCollege 24-18 Wednesday.

Four Vikings hit double figures for thegame, led by Craig Nicholes and Bobby Nicol with 15 points each. Chuck Price added 14 and RobVisser notched 13. The Mountaineers, who last week upset Eastern Washington by 22 points, openedwith a slow, deliberate offense. With the help of several Western turnovers, they built an 11-4 lead.However, two quick baskets by Nicol and another by Price sliced the Mounties lead to 11-10. A fast-break layup by Price gave the Vikings their first lead at 14-13. The lead changed hands until Visser hit abaseline jumper and two free throws for a 21-17 Western lead. The Viks maintained that margin to lead27-23 at halftime. Eastern Oregon, continuing to slow the tempo at the start of the second half, crept towithin one point at 32-31 on a bucket by Dennis Jensen with 14 minutes left in the game. The Viks,v ledby Nicol and Dick Bissell, responded to outscore the Mountaineers 13-2 in the next four minutes to takea comfortable 45-33 lead. Eastern Oregon never seriously threatened again. A brief comback effort ledby Mountaineer guard John Huff pulled EOSC within nine points with seven minutes remaining. ButNicholes scored three quick buckets to open a 63-47 lead and put the game away. The Vikings hit 27 of57 shots from the field in the contest for 47 per cent and cashed in 17 or 22 free throws for 77 per cent.Eastern Oregon made 24 of 66 field goal attempts for 36 per cent and hit 8 of 10 free throws for 80 percent. Western controlled the boards 48-31. Visser pulled down 13 rebounds to take game honors whileBissell and Keith Lowry grabbed seven each. Terry McClary led the Mountaineers with eignt boards.Play was sloppy throughout the game, with Western piling up 22 turnovers and EOSC 18. Huff led theMountaineers scoring with 12 points. McClary and Jim Crawford hit 11 each and Chris Smith had 10.Roger Thomas, the Mounties' leading scorer, was held to just two points by the Viking defense. Vikettes win The Vikettes rumbled to their sixth straight basketball win with a 72-64 win over Seattle PacificCollege last week in Carver Gym. Claudia Haaker, Western's center, drew applause from the sparsecrowd when she entered the game with five minutes remaining in the second half. Haaker, who had been sidelined for a week with a sprained ankle, sunk four field goals in four attempts, blocked a shot, anddealt out two assists, before the halftime b r e a k . Western had a comfortable 42-24 lead. SPC begancatching up in the second half as both teams ran fastbreak offenses and full-court presses. But theclosest margin SPC managed was 66-59 with three minutes remaining. Western's victory was never injeopardy, however, as Vik C o a c h Lynda Goodrich substituted liberally during the entire second half.Haaker finished the game with 16 points, while Diane Bjerke, Western forward scored 15. PlaymakerCharmon Odle made 10 points and six steals. The Vikettes, two-time defending regional champions,are 10-4 for the season. Yippie!

With my usual nose for news, I smelt something was wrong. My first call was toNorm Love of Bellingham Public Works. Love checked out my complaint (he said it was the first one hehad received) the same day I called. He reported "the sewer was running free and clear." Instead, theculprit turned out to be the natural gas regulator station right next to the manholes. A call to Bob Burke of Cascade Natural Gas Corp. confirmed this. The smell was checked out over the weekend, and according to Burke, "there was a seep in the inlet side of a shut-off valve." When I talked to Burke on Feb. 3, hesaid the leak would be fixed that afternoon by sealing the fitting.

Basically, center for needs help academic writing, test buildup, etc one of the for running it's a research any student who in any of his skills: reading, taking, vocabulary .," RodneyLewis, people responsible the lab, explained. The lab is set up to facilitate any studentâ€”no matterwhat his study problem. It's flexible in regard to a student's schedule. The lab has a general enrollmentof about 25 students per quarter. These students pay a $3 fee for a basic test which gives the labinstructors an idea of the s t u d e n t s ' strengths and weaknesses. The money goes toward funding for tests the next quarter. Lewis, coordinator of the lab for the Office of Minority Programs, said, "I hadsome deficiencies myself which is how I got started with the lab." He noted that students with gradepoints of 3.5 or higher who come to the lab often have poor study habits or are disorganized. They comeout and improve even more on their high academic level. Lewis stressed the lab is open to all studentsand the people there are willing to help beyond just the academic side of things. "If people havepersonal problems or a lack of confidence in themselves and . they want help we'll talk to them," saidLewis. "It takes a lot of courage to admit you've got a problem and to seek help," he added. Lewis, apsychology major, runs the lab with Lavinia Thornton, a graduate student. H. O. Beldin is the head manand consultant for the lab which was started by the reading department. the lazy way to (not just pass- excel!) student's excel I used to be a student. I still am for that matter even though I'm no longerenrolled in an academic institution. More importantly, I used to study hard â€” the midnight cramsessions â€” the 7-day weeks. But I didn't start making good grades until I learned some amazingsecrets about studying and about myself â€” secrets that I have never shared with anyone else until now. This information could be worth more to you than all the money in the world. What's more, I feel soconfident about that claim that I'm going to request that you send me 10 dollars for something that willcost me less than 1 dollar to produce. And I'll even make the offer sound so astonishing that you'll besorry if you don't accept it. How can I make such a statement? Because I'm in the business of sellingeducational information for a profit â€” just like a professional daily newspaper or a lawyer. SamuelJohnson once said, "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Besides, if I didn't make agood profit, you'd assume my education was wasted and whatever I have to offer you is thereforeworthless. Yet I can unconditionally guarantee its results! In fact, I will make you the most unusualguarantee in the world. And that is: I won't even cash your check or money order for 20 days after I'vesent you my material. You'll have plenty of time to look it over and try it out. If you don't agree that it'sworth a hundred times what you paid, simply send it back and I'll return every penny of your investmentâ€” even if you've marked in it. The material I'm going to send you will explain in detail what took me 12years to perfect and put down on paper. And it's going to be the biggest bargain you ever bought â€” How to pass school the lazy man's way. I call it "The Lazy Man's Way" because the wisest man I ever metonce said," "Anything is easy once it's fully understood." Now, I don't mind bragging just a little to provemy point. Because unless I do, you won't be motivated enough to try my guaranteed method. You see, Iwent from a 2.1 GPA (4.0= A system) to a term average of over 3.5, while taking similar courses yetmore units, merely by using the methods spelled out in my material. What's more, I have copies of myofficial transcripts to prove it! And I'll show you exactly how I accomplished this while at the same timeholding your money in 'escrow' until you're completely satisfied that reviewing my material is the smartest thing you ever did. All in all, I give you more than 150 pages filled with proven methods on how to study,how to take exams, how to budget your time for greater efficiency, how to overcome anxiety, plusnumerous other ways of getting better results with less work and more fun â€” real, practical ideas youcan put to work at once. The concepts include: 4 steps to goal achievement; 6 steps to better reading;key factors in memory retention; demonstrated ways to take meaningful notes â€” plus proven tips onlistening, as well as passing both subjective and objective type examinations. If all this sounds too goodto be true, I don't blame you. Because there has never been a program like this before â€” a system thatshows you how to raise your GJP.A. by simply using the natural talents you possess right now. Itdoesn't require "intelligence". I'm considered by most to be average. Nor does it require "luck". You see, I sincerely believe that we make our own good fortune. And it certainly doesn't require "effort" in the sense that effort is hard work. Work is only hard if we dislike the task at hand. Rather, it simply requires"belief. Enough belief to put the simple concepts into action. Enough belief to absorb the material. If youdo that, I guarantee (remember, I said, guarantee) the results will be astonishing. You don't have tointerfere with'your present studies. In fact, you can review the material in less than one hour. You don'teven have to "believe" me until after you examine it. Just try it. That's all I ask. If I've boasted too much,simply return the package for a refund. All you have to lose is a couple of seconds and a postage stampto see if I'm right. But what if I'm telling you the truth? After all, while there are no certain shortcuts tosuccess, there's no sense in taking the long way around, either.

AL RAINES Last Tuesday, 24 dogs were brought into the WhatcomCounty Humane Society's animal shelter in Bellingham. Chances are only four are alive today. The resthave been "put to sleep" by .22 caliber bullets. Bellingham's Humane Society admits they are about thelast shelter of any size using .22s. They continue to use the bullets, claiming the high cost of othermethods makes it unavoidable. Phyllis Wright, animal control specialist for the Humane Society of theUnited States, in Washington, D.C., said she has not heard of any other Humane Society using bullets for euthanasia, the killing of animals in a painless manner. "If cost is their reasoning (for shooting theanimals)," Wright said in a telephone interview, "then they're in the wrong business." She was not theonly person with the Humane Society that stated misgivings over the treatment. Jeanette Cress, manager of the Skagit County Humane Society shelter in Burlington, said they have received complaints aboutthe Whatcom Shelter. She thought the .22s were not proper treatment. f The Skagit shelter uses artinjection with which the animal appears to go to sleep naturally and quietly. It has been considered bymost veterinarians to be the most humane process of euthanasia. The cost, though quite higher thanbullets, is considered worth the investment by the shelter in Burlington. ... . Richard Todhunter, managerof the Whatcom Shelter, does not like the .22 method. "It's especially hard to put small animals to sleep with a .22," Todhunter said. But recent tries at obtaining Sodium Phenobarbital for injections, whichwould result in a more humane treatment for the small animals, were rejected by the county veterinarianauthority. Reasoning centered around its being a controlled substance which would require handling by aspecialist. An American Veterinary Medical Association council report on euthanasia ends with thefollowing statement: "Methods such as drowning or shooting without producing prior unconsciousnesscan be painful, unreliable, productive of fear or apprehension on the part of the animals and dangerous topeople performing euthanasia. These methods are not recommended." One difference between theWhatcom shelter and others in the state is that it also serves as an animal control agency. They areanswerable to the mayor, county commissioners, sheriff, chief of police and others, as well as thesociety's board of directors. METHODS OF ANIMAL EUTHANASIA QUESTIONED - The WhatcomCounty Humane Society's animal shelter is one of the last in the nation, using .22s to put animals tosleep. The society said cost is the reason for continuing the practice.

Butthis provides an obvious incentive to the five residents of Project PerFECT, Bellingham's prison earlyrelease training program. Add to that the promise of parole at graduation and you have Project PerFECT's formula for success. "We came expecting 100 per cent success, and so far we are achieving it," PeterMusselwhite, head parole officer for the program said. Now in its third month of implementation, ProjectPerFECT was set up as an opportunity for convicted adult felons to re-adjust to the community^ Thefive residents of the program are still serving their time on their sentences while living at Highland andattending either Western, Bellingham Vo-Tech Institute or Whatcom Community College. Musselwhite said the present staff to resident ratio (five staff/five residents) has been instrumental to the earlysuccess of the program by "helping to stop problems before they become problems." In the future it ishoped that the five man staff will be able to handle up to forty residents. Although the "Per" in PerFECTstands for Prison Early Release, residents of the program are never free from rules and regulations abouthow they live. There are restrictions on where they may go, how long they can be gone, and what kind of activities they can be involved in. Some members of the program already have part time jobs. Anderssaid that employers throughout the community have been very receptive to the program. THE LONGERTHEY are in the program the more freedom and responsibility they receive, according to Marc Anders,project counselor. The residents are on an honors system, and the program operates under the premisethat each resident will make a commitment to achieving a partaicular goal they are trying to reach. Hesaid that although the staff offers assistance in finding a job, the residents proceed largely on their own.The money earned from the job is put into a trust fund which the resident can use to help finance hiseducation. Each resident in the program is required to pay for his schooling and room and board. Themoney for this comes from the resident's own finances or through student aid programs. ProjectPerFECT hopes to graduate five or six residents by the end of next year. Upon parole, perFECT's alumniwill hopefully be prepared for a gentle re-entry into the outside world. Opposition overwhelms the plus-minus grading proposal The plus-minus grading proposal is dead. It was killed by a unanimousdecision of the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC) Tuesday. The final decision came after the Council on Arts and Sciences Curriculum (CASC) failed to provide convincing rationale in support of thegrade proposal. Disapproval was also based on lack of support by the Graduate Council and the Teacher Curricula and Certification Council (TCCC), as well as convincing student opposition. AS President-elect Stephen Barrett, a member of ACC, stated that the plus-minus grade would have hurt the student.The plus-minus grade would have allowed for variations of regular letter grade. Students receiving minusgrades would have had lower GPAs than students receiving solid letter grades. If a student had a C-average (1.7) he would have been eligible for academic probation.

Dick Gregory, black' comedian, activist and formerpresidential candidate, made this statement Monday to an enthusiastic crowd of 300 at EverrettCommunity College. He was speaking on what is wrong in America. He spoke about the Watergate"mess" and said it was fortunate there were no blacks in the administration. "If there had been one black in the Nixon administration he would have gotten all the blame for Watergate pinned on him. "Nixon was honest. He said he would take all the crime out of the street. But we should have asked where he wasgoing to put it." "Things are so bad that when Henry Ford II was busted for drunken driving in in California, he was driving a Pinto." Big corporations, the FBI and the CIA were all linked with crime in the streets,Gregory said. "There is so much crime in the streets that even the crooks are complaining. Get rid of theFBI. What about anti-trust violators? . . . Drugs, what about the Mafia and CIA that bring them in? . . . Ifthey put the right people in jail the crooks would turn themselves in." GREGORY SAID our response over the Maya-guez incident was foolish. He related it to a man fighting a cockroach or Muhammed Alifighting a three-year-old child. With all these problems, Gregory felt that only America's youth couldprovide the moral force to find the answers. "It's a big job. Never in history has anyone had such aburden dropped on them . . . " He feels that these problems can only be solved by working within thesystem. "Don't go get your gun. If they know they can get you to be aggressive, they know they cancontrol you. Once they know they can control you to violence, they can manipulate you." Gregory saidhe feels his struggle is not in vain because he has "truth, justice, law and order" on his side. ft * * *Moon totals tomorrow VALERIE SOSNOW The moon will be the prima donna this coming Saturdayevening in one of nature's most spectacular performances: a total eclipse of the moon. The moon willbegin to enter the dark central portion of the earth's shadow at 9 p.m. The shadow projected on themoon is normally a reddish-orange color, caused by sunlight being bent by our atmosphere, into theshadow. There is a possibility that the shadow on the moon will be a darker red then normal because ofextra dust in the atmosphere from last October's eruption of Fuego volcano in Guatemala. The moonwill be in total eclipse at 10:30 p.m., and star-gazers, away from city lights, will observe an extraordinary increase in the number of stars in the sky. During the middle of the eclipse, at 10:48 p.m., the lowerpart of the moon should appear to be very dark, since it passes through to the exact center of the earth's shadow. The total eclipse continues until 11:33 p.m. The moon then begins to leave the earth's shadow until its completion at 12:36 a.m., Sunday. The moon will rise in the southeast sky. William Brown ofphysics and astronomy faculty suggested the Sehome High School parking lot as a good viewing site.KGI AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIANS IMPORTAUTOSPECUUSTS fffifia NITE-APPT.-AU WORKGUARANTEED V_MOTO-J EXCEUENT SERVICE - TOWING AVAILABLE .

Most students hurried between classes seeking the shelter ofwarm buildings. Markangelo Chiarelli, however, stood on the fountain, with a bible in hand, andpreached about Jesus. "I don't preach by my own ability," Chiarelli said, "but through the ability of God."Chiarelli doesn't look much different than any other male Western student. He's medium height, slender,has brown eyes, and a short black beard with matching average length black hair. The only differencebetween him and others is the Bible in his hands and Jesus in his heart. Chiarelli said he is a senior andwill "probably graduate from Fairhaven with a minor in environmental studies and math. Actually, mymajor is knowing the Lord." In high school Chiarelli began seeking answers about religion. He spent hisfirst years of college still searching for a religion that he could believe in. Finally, about a month ago, 22-year-old Chiarelli, who was born and raised in Seattle, committed his life to Christ. "I can feel thechanges in my life," he said. "I have lost a lot of my wicked desires and I feel a communion with God."The closeness with God has caused a separation to develop between Chiarelli and some of his formerfriends. "My friends say, 'we still like to see you, but don't come over and preach to us.' That's like asking someone to come over and leave their feet outside. In that sense I have lost friends. But, I guess I amlosing fellowship with things that are not of God." He said the Lord directs him to preach on the fountain."Sometimes it's scary," he said. "But I can't minister in fear and must overcome my fear to come to theLord. You can only minister by love." Chiarelli doesn't think his preaching is in vain. "I used to listen topeople preaching and even though I didn't let it sink in, it helped. It is reaching someone." Chiarelli'sfuture plans are uncertain. "Right now I am continuing school because the Lord hasn't showed me whatelse to do. As to when I get out of school, I won't make plans. I will wait on the Lord." As I left Chiarelli on that drizzly day, I watched as he walked across the wet bricks, and wondered in what direction the Lordwill point him. letters Congratulations to jean-wearers Editor, Western Front: Whew! Okay, take a deep breath and wipe the sweat from your collective brow â€” it's all over. In case you haven't guessed bynow, there was no survey. Yes, that's right. The whole thing was nothing more than an exercise inhomophobia (neurotic fear of, or repulsion for, homosexuality). The problem: How can we make yourealize what it is really like to be gay on this supposedly "liberated" campus? The answer: Make bluejeans and homosexuality synonomous. That is to say, if you accept homosexuality, then whatdifference does it make if someone thinks you're gay? If you can't accept gayness, hopefully youexperienced what it was like to be a victim of your own prejudice many of us are victimized daily. Inclosing, our condolences to those whose ridiculous anxieties rekindled an adolescent skin problem andthose who dashed down to Penny's to buy a pair of never-to-be-worn-again double-knit slacks (also tothose of you who missed the Disco for fear of anal rape). Our congratulations to those who wore jeansanyway and to all of you for disproving (for the first time in my four years here) that students are totallyapathetic. I have never before heard so much bitching about something so totally hilarious. In gaylove... Dirk Hopkins Senior, English Gay survey totally bad idea Editor, Western Front: With regard toDorthann Cloud's article, "Friday proclaimed Gay Pride Day," I feel this basis of wearing or notwearing "blue denim and demin-like jeans, skirts and cut-offs" for a number of reasons: The originalbasis is poor. It assumes most Western students read the "Western Front." Also that they read it in itsentirety, which is doubtful of any paper. Blue jeans are a very common article of clothing and would notbe a valid sample criteria for a population sample. As a side note, I counted jeans versus non-blue jeans, skirts in one of my classes with the following results. Out of 21 people only three were not wearingjeans. This shows that better than 85 per cent of this class wears jeans. This might be a slight buthigher percentage than for the total student body, but I don't feel it would be an unfair comparison. GayPeoples Alliance actions in a real sense proposes a personal problem. Must I give up an article ofclothing I normally wear so as not to be mistaken as a "gay" (whether right or wrong) individual or do Idefy their effort (pressure) and contribute an additional error in their already poor statistical practices. Ialso would like to know where their "certain strategic locations" are located so I might avoid beingcounted so as not to upset their "accurate" data gathering process. In summary, I think this entire"gay" campaign is a big poorly based, biased farce to promote their personal feeling of "Hey look, thereare lots of us around, just look at the statistics." Bologna! Roger Rickert, Junior, Technology OPCOURSE: THIS (S HUNVNNE /. - TrIE LA^V PkfcCe I WO/SJCJED, WE USED gt; P/ANO WlKS-comment Hathaway nomination a 'sellout' The gap between the ideal and reality of American government is often monumentous. One is in President Ford's nomination of Stanley Hathaway, former governor ofWyoming, to be the next Secretary of Interior. Hathaway's conservation record is abominable. This isparticularly true of his views on the use of 1080, a viscious, chain-reaction poison used by wool growersto kill predators, namely coyotes. The use of 1080, because of its indiscriminate nature, has beenbanned on federal lands, which are heavily used for grazing by sheepherders. Hathaway is an unabashedopponent of this ban and would work for its repeal if confirmed for the position. The Society for AnimalProtection Legislation has called Hathaway's nomination "worse than that of any nominee ever proposedfor a Cabinet post." Certainly his attitude toward the maintenance of open range eco-systems makes thenomination laughable, but it's not funny. If confirmed, Hathaway's presence in the Cabinet would be onemore sellout of government ideal to vested interests. It can be stopped, in this instance, if people willwrite their Senators expressing their opposition. But it must be soon. Marshall Brown Western Frontstaff Why impose 'high-handed ideas' on students? Editor, Western Front: I'm writing in response tocertain statements made by Lee Thompson concerning Gay Pride Day. What interests me is whatmakes him think he has the right to impose his high-handed ideas on me? Just because he thinks itwould be cute to make all gays be identified with the wearing of blue jeans makes me want to throw up.While I don't wish to go into any discussion of the moral aspects of homosexuality I would like to knowthis: What makes you think I give a damn about your sex life, or better yet, why should I chooeo toaffiliate myself with your ilk by the way I dress? It makes me angry to think that you would choose asymbol such as dress which is totally irrelevant and arbitrary. To my way of thinking, you are doingmore to alienate people by flaunting what should be a totally personal matter than ever could come about in a hundred years. Just who do you think you are? By the way you and your people are acting, youwould think that by the virtue of your sexuality I owe you something which, Mr. Thompson, I don't. TimAdlington Students should get out earlier Editor, Western Front: We would like to encourage as manystudents as are interested to support us in asking the registrar (or whoever is responsible) to beconsiderate of the plights of the students who are trying to get summer jobs. The competition is gettingtough. At the present, quite a few private colleges get out considerably earlier than Western, whichgives these students an advantage in a shrinking job market. We feel very strongly that any changesthat can be made in the future school year calendar, to close school earlier in the spring should beconsidered and acted on if possible. Any supporters?

It will be held Saturday, June 21, at Bloedel-Donovan Park on LakeWhatcom. The faire, spelled with an "e" to add flavor and attract attention, is designed by women forwomen to be used as an outlet for their talent and as an opportunity to display and sell their art andcraft work. This year's faire will also have information booths staffed by a variety of women's resourceorganizations explaining their programs. Among the 30 registrants of last year's faire at Bellingham'sFairhaven Park, were crafts-women, artists, poets, musicians, singers and belly dancers. There werealso food booths, puppet shows and face painting. This year's faire is expected to provide much of thesame with hopefully an even greater variety of talent and entertainment. Individuals and groupsinterested in reserving a booth at the faire can register by sending $2 per booth to Penny Rice, 1601Fourth St. The name, address and use of the booth should be included.

Overall, the evening was insane.Totally! The Firesign Theater came to town Sunday night and brought with them their menagerie ofcharacters, symbolism and stories. Beginning with the beginning, and where better to begin, the fourmasters of outrageous humor, David Ossman, Philip Proctor, Phil Austin and Peter Bergman told thechronological illogical tale of their 400-year-old theater â€” the Firesign Theater. Not at all showing theirage, the four worked their way through the true story of "Hamlet's" prototype, the Firesign Theater's own"Anything You Want To." The group then went down memory lane hand in hand with a touch ofsurrealistic insanity as they brought life to their recordings, including bits from "Don't Crush That Dwarf,Hand Me the Pliers" and "Waiting for the Electrician Or Someone Like Him," much to the approval of theaudience. Intermixed and leading into these stagings were "selected questions submitted from theaudience." Included were such inspired questions as "What is reality?" Proctor submitted his responsewith, "There are actually two questions here. One, the question 'What?'" "This question is a questionthat has puzzled great thinkers through the ages. In fact, many brilliant men have died wondering,'What?'" "Of course," Proctor continued, "the question that follows is 'Is reality?' to which I can answer aresounding â€” maybe!" Next came "Nude Age Enterprises" production of Harry Cox' "Everything YouKnow Is Wrong." The film was a desperate attempt by Cox to prove, among other things, that dogs flewin spaceships, our forefathers smoked marijuana, and the South won the Civil War.

They are busy planning concerts, movies, lectures and the activities for Mama Sundays andthe Viking Union art gallery. Dan McMannis, program commissioner, is a graduate student in art. For the past year he has been the technical director on the program commission. As program commissioner,McMannis is the head man for all other sections on the commission. "This is not a one man empire byany means," McMannis said. There are four other people and a secretary working for the commission.Dave Auer will continue to run Mama Sundays. Sherry Phelen is planning the shows held by the VU artgallery. Social issues are run by Arnie Gauss3 who is in charge of bringing speakers and lecturers tocampus. The presentation of movies and the mechanics for all concerts are done by the technicaldirector, Rick Mickelsen. Catherine Ann Harker, secretary, handles the commission's paper work.Program commission positions are chosen by applications submitted to the AS Activities Board. Eachapplicant must be a full time or graduate student here. All positions are paid, McMannis said. "Itaverages out to about an hour a day in the office," he said. "But the over-all time spent working for thecommission is much more." THE BIGGEST PROBLEM for the commission, McMannis said, is gettingenough input. "For some positions this year, there were only one or two applicants," he said. Theprogram commission has been called insensitive in past years, McMannis said. A few people havegiven suggestions on what movies or-concerts they'd like to see on campus and expect immediateaction, he said. "They don't realize that for movies you must plan at least 60 days in advance and forconcerts it's much more," McMannis said. "The Sunday films for fall and winter quarters have alreadybeen scheduled." Sunday films for fall quarter include "Scarecrow," "Chinatown," "Ten From YourShow of Shows," "The Sting," "Electra Glide in Blue," "Badlands," "Serpico," "Papillion," and "Blume inLove." Sunday films for winter quarter are "Uptown, Saturday Night," "California Split," "Harry and Tonto," "Scenes from a Marriage," "The Parallax View," "Mean Streets," "The Three Musketeers"' and "TheApprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz." "There is still a long list of film suggestions for spring," McMannis said. "It's just a matter of cost and scheduling." The key to getting good concerts is finding groups that are on their way up, McMannis said. DANMcMANNIS Once they have made it, their rate practically triples."It's gotten to the point of prices â€” for who we can get to come," McMannis said. "Our purpose is tomake money and at the same time provide good entertainment." TONIGHT!

Low return thwarts student poll A recent poll to measure the attitudes of students andemployers on the aspects of collective bargaining failed due to lack of response. The poll,conducted by Alan Ogilvie, a graduate student in higher education, was to help in determining whyprevious attempts to unionize students at Western into collective bodies failed. According to Ogilvie,only four of the 119 students employes, and three of the 49 department supervisors returnedcompleted questionnaires. Ogilvie speculated it was either a lack of clarity in the questionnaire ormerely lack of interest on the part of the subjects.

"I think for next year we're going toconcentrate more on our recruiting program. We would like to get our first managers, and a lot of newoarsmen." DON GREGORY With half of the team never in a game situation before, the two-month-oldWestern Lacrosse Club showed their potential by defeating Lakeside High School 10-2 Saturday.Western co-captain and goalie Chuck Sawyer was pleased with the team's performance pointing out theexcellent passing. Western is one of only seven lacrosse teams in the Pacific Northwest. Sawyer, whostarted the club, first got interested in the sport seven years ago while attending high school in Denver,Colo. The sport has come a long way from its original form. Northeastern Indians first played thegame as a substitute for war and it was not unusual for contestants to be killed while playing. At theschool Sawyer attende-ed, lacrosse outgrew baseball in popularity. When Sawyer started playing thegame in seventh grade, both baseball and lacrosse were being played in the spring. When he graduated, only lacrosse was being played. Sawyer said in the East, lacrosse is as popular as football at thecollege level. One of the problems with the sport is getting people to play. After getting people to watchthe game, a lot of them want to learn the sport, Sawyer said. Most of the time spent in learning thegame is in throwing and catching a two-inch hard rubber ball. This throwing an catching is done with astic about four-feet long with plastic head on one end, laced with leather and gut. The sport is expensive because of equipment. Sticks, helmets, gloves and arm pads are needed by every player. The goaliewears an additional chest protector. To raise money needed for equipment this year the club worked atthe local election. They have requested funding from the college for next year. The.club now has 13members. For the six players who had not played before Saturday, the game proved to be an enjoyableexperience and quite a change from the game the Indians played instead of going to war. Volleyball club forms teams A volleyball club is being formed at Western to participate in sanctioned United StatesVolleyball Association tournaments next year. Turn outs for the club will run from 7 to 9 p.m. startingTuesday in Gym A. Anybody is welcome to turn out. There will be mens', womens' and co-ed teamsformed.

Residents of Fairhaven's co-op dorms pay about $40 less rent monthly than theprojected costs, based on full dorms of single-room occupancy. Using these tentative figures, each co-op resident is subsidized by about $318.86 per year. The amount of the subsidy is not clear, becausethere are several ways to calculate it. All dorm rooms â€” singles, doubles and apartment rooms -â€” arerented in co-ops as singles. This was part of the agreement by which the Advisory Committee onHousing and Dining agreed to subsidize the first co-op, two years ago. The co-ops are considered to bein the experimental stage and are subsidized "because it was a new idea . . . a new kind of housing that we've never offered," Coy said. The subsidy will continue next year unless students protest it, or it isrejected by the Board of Trustees, who will consider it May 6. The advisory committee and the Businessand Finance Council voted last week to recommend to the trustees the same eight per cent rateincrease for co-ops as for other campus housing. The committee also decided to ask for an evaluation ofthe co-ops, though they have not yet decided who should conduct the evaluation or what the criteriashould be, Coy said. "I'm questioning how successful (the co-ops) are now," he said. The four dormshave a joint capacity of about 70 people but have close to 50 now and are "having to do quite a bit ofrecruiting," he said. If co-op rates take the same hike as other housing, their rent will rise by $55.44 perperson per year, while rent for a single occupant of a single room will rise by $69.44 and for a doubleroom, $67.44. Housing and Dining is partially funded with the services and activities fee, included intuition. Asked whether the other residents on campus were told about the subsidy they were paying, Coy replied, "I don't know that the students were, per se." While all co-op residents live in singles, non-co-op students would be forced to have roommates, should Fairhaven housing fill. Although Fairhaven is now only filled to 58 per cent capacity, Coy said there is a good chance " housing will come close to fillingnext year. Contracts were signed only last week for co-op 5. Coy's office did not express concern to theco-op residents until then. "I think we're coming to a solution of the problem," Coy said in an interviewbefore the o signed contracts reached his office last week. o Tim Thies, a co-op resident, said thecontracts ft* are not a^ problem, because they have been signed. He explained that "anytime the resident director had asked us to sign contracts, we would have done so." "We were never, by written or oralform, informed it was our responsibility {to secure contracts)," he said, and "people in the co-op weren'tthat interested in the paper work." Co-op residents assumed that Housing would send them contracts tosign and were not concerned when, the fourth week into the quarter. Housing still had not done so, hesaid. "Winter quarter it went just as long" before the contracts were sent, Thies said. "They (thecontracts) should have been in prior to their (the residents) even being in the co-ops," Coy said. Thereason this did not happen is "they have all the keys and just moved in." They could do this becauseFairhaven housing acts virtually autonomously, Coy said, although with "no authority" to do so. Askedwho has the authority to secure contracts or evict non-signers, Coy said, "If you go by the book, I guesswe do," but that it is a matter with "political overtones." He "doesn't like to intervere with the Fairhavenset-up." Coy was aware that the contracts had not been signed "for some time," he said. Until last week, his office had no list of dorm 5 residents. "I found out (about Coy's concern) either Monday or Tuesday(of last week), and that was only by accident," said Janine Larsen, Fairhaven resident aide in charge ofco-ops. Coy first indicated his concern not to the co-ops but in a letter to Fairhaven Dean Joe Bettis,copies of which were sent to several people on campus. The co-op residents first became aware of Coy's concern when Larsen opened Fairhaven Housing Director Larry Pressler's copy in his absence lastweek. They contacted Coy, who "told one of our members that it (sending the letter) was a big mistake,"said Larsen.

For an in-depth interview with Nugent, see page 7. byDAVENEFF TheApril 6 decision by federal officials to re-open for public use shores and campgrounds around Baker Lakeeight miles below Mt. Baker's steaming Sherman Crater, was questioned Monday by Western's DonaldEasterbrook, chairman of the geology department. Easterbrook, who has studied the mountain since1966 questions the U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) which estimates the odds against a mudslide,precipitated from the steaming crater, are 1,000 to 1. Of concern to Easterbrook is a decaying 300-footpeak along Sherman Crater known as Lahar Lookout. Easterbrook estimates release of rock from LaharLookout could release upwards of three million cubic years (10 million tons) of material that could travelinto Boulder Creek and Baker Lake eight miles below, causing a tidal wave. Writing in Geology magazine last December, Easterbrook said, aside from a volcanic eruption, a mudflow could be triggered by "failure of large masses of hydrothermally altered rock." "Steam vents at the base of the rock ridge risingnorthward above the notch in the east rim, provide a potential source of decomposed rock," he wrote. He termed the U.S.G.S. mudslide odds "ridiculous because the conditions are highly conducive for amudflow. (The odds) mean that whatever the average mudflows have been for the last 1,000 years, it'smeaningless in terms of current conditions." The gaseous steam coming from Sherman Crater wasgauged last November to be 1.3 kilograms per second, compared to .35 kilograms per second lastMarch, according to U.S.G.S.'s Dave Franks. Among gases being emitted is hydrogen sulfide, Frankssaid. "Once (hydrogen sulfide) reacts with water and air, it oxidizes into sulphuric acid. The acid thenbreaks down rock, and if the reaction goes far enough, the end product is clay," he said. Franks, whohas studied the mountain since 1972 said, "We know there's a lot (of clay) on (Mt. Baker's) surface andwe think a lot within." While conceding "a large avalanche can occur without an eruption" Franks said the U.S.G.S. is satisfied a "trigger" or volcanic eruption that could cause a much larger mudslide isn't likelysoon. When asked what he would have done if in a decision-making position in regards to opening upclosed areas, Easterbrook said, "Fortunately, it's not my responsibility to worry about it. However, I would say the stakes are still very high." ---------- Western Front - 1976 April 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, April 27,1976 Most AS candidates support pay Kelly discusses plans byKAREN BORDERS for candidate position Associated Students positions 4-10 will be paid next year forthe first time. Most of the candidates said they would be running even if the positions were not paid. TheA.S. Board voted April 1 to pay each of these positions $169 per quarter on an academic year basis.Several current candidates were on the board that instituted the pay. Sue Meyers, presentlysecretary/treasurer and also a candidate for that position next year, voted for the pay. "At first I wasagainst pay for positions 4-10 because I looked at is as a gift. Now I view it as a control mechanismalong with the Evaluation Committee," she said. Services Council Representative candidate, MarkBlackledge was die only candidate who stated that pay was a central part of his decision to run. "Iappreciate the pay. I wouldn't run without pay. It makes me feel responsible," Blackledge said, becausedue to the work involved, officers were required to take lighter class loads. "Standing on the outside ofthe Associated Students, I am against it," Activities Council candidate Mark Gramps said. He added hefeels his ideas may change, however, if he finds the work load too heavy. Don Wayland. candidate forServices Council representative, was also on the board and in favor of pay. "I think it should haveacademic credit," he said. "I went along with the pay because I believed in what they were doing." Hesaid he would have run even if the position was not paid. "I'm enjoying it â€” that's why I'm there," he said. Wayland's opponent, Dean Christensen, said he would have run too. "I was planning on running even if it wasn't paid." He said he liked the idea of pay, though. "With these positions being paid, there's moreincentive for students to get out and vote." Karen Pitt, a Recreation Council candidate, said she didn'tknow the position was paid until she applied. "The pay comes in handy," she said, but also said shewould run without it. David Cutbirth, candidate for director at large, was a member of the salary and wage committee recommending the pay. He explained, "This quarter, as well as in the past, there has beenan immense turnover on the board. Once they get involved, they find out there is a lot of work." Cutbirthsaid they wanted to show people their time was worth something and also hold them accountable.Cutbirth said, "Personally, I would do it anyway." Samuel P. Kelly, a candidate for the position of dean of the Division of Graduate Studies, met last week with various faculty and administrative groups todiscuss plans for his candidacy. At an informal meeting April 22, Kelly stressed the need for furtherevaluation and development of existing graduate programs. An area of particular concern to thecandidate is the graduate assistants program. Kelly stated graduate assistants are being misusedand underused. There is a need he said, for the graduate council to evaluate the situation and developsome guidelines so the program can better serve institutional needs. Workshops for the basic reviewof grading and teaching techniques was an example of programs that could evolve. Kelly also expressed his interest in combining the Graduate Division with the Bureau of Faculty Research. Overlappinginterests in programs and grants would warrant this, which Kelly called a "sensible" development. Healso said administrative burdens such as registration would be lighter if shared by the two offices.Kelly, who received his bachelor's degree in English and Economics from Western in 1951, has servedon the Education faculty since 1965 and is the director of the Center for Higher Education. TM:Simple technique for 'the ideal society9 MEREDITH BRIGGS [Editor's note: Western Front staner GregHoofnagle will cover the aspects and implications of Transcendental Meditation in a four-part series. Acommunity-wide bicentennial program to create an 'ideal society' through TM will be inauguratedtomorrow at 8 p.m. in the Belling-ham Public Library.] by GREG HOOFNAGLE It's not a movement. It'snot a religion. Transcendental Meditation is merely a technique. But it is a technique with over amillion followers worldwide â€” 700,000 in the United States alone. TM is simple. It involves sittingcomfortably with eyes closed and allowing one's mind to "settle down to a least excited state,"according to meditator Meredith Briggs. Briggs was recently made the Puget Sound area's governor forthe 'Age of Enlightenment' by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the TM program. Support for TM isgrowing rapidly, Briggs said. Speaking before the Senate on May 6, 1974, Adlai Stevenson (D-Ill.) . said studies of TM should be taken seriously. "All evidence points to the effectiveness of TM in the fields ofrehabilitation," he stated. On a local basis, Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz proclaimed March 20 and 21 as a 'Celebration of the Age of Enlightenment.' The 'Age of Enlightenment' envisioned by TMpractitioners is not a vision at all, Briggs commented. She said over 200 scientific studies havesuggested once five per cent of society uses TM, a "remarkable" change will occur. "This enlightened society would be characterized by a lack of problems, full of peace, progress and harmony," shecontinued. Other studies indicate when only one per cent of a city practices TM a decrease in crime,sickness and accident rates results. Briggs mentioned a crime study by Garland Landrith III andCandace Borland of the Maharishi International University {MIU} in Fairfield, Iowa. The study involved 24cities: 12 in which at least one per cent of the populace were meditators by the end of 1972, and 12'control' cities of comparable size, location and crime statistics, but with few meditators. From 1972-1973, nine of the control cities reported an increase in serious crimes, averaging 7.8 per cent. Incontrast, the 12 'TM' cities noted an 8.8 per cent drop in serious crimes for the same period. "On thebasis of these scientific studies, an ideal society is a practical possibility, not a vision," Briggs said.About 550 Bellingham city residents practice TM, or about 1.4 per cent of the populace, she said. Stuart Johnson, head of local TM teaching activities, noted most of these people learned TM CAPITOL MUSICCO. SHEET MUSIC 102 N. Commercial Next to Mt. Baker Theater 676-0927 within the last two years. "The growth is exponential," Briggs said. She and Johnson agreed only about 30-40 city residents wereusing TM in 1969. Johnson estimated half the people who learn TM in Bellingham each year are collegestudents. "Last year we taught TM to about 15 college students a month," he said. He added it is hardto keep track because students "are so mobile." Mayor Hertz, in his recent proclamation, summarizedthe goals of the International Meditation Society (IMS â€” the TM organization): â€”to develop the fullpotential of the individual â€”to improve governmental achievements â€”to realize the highest ideal ofeducation â€”to solve the problems of crime, drug abuse, and all behavior that brings unhappiness to thefamily of man â€”to maximize the intelligent use of the environment , â€”to bring fulfillment to theeconomic aspirations of individuals and society â€”to achieve the spiritual goals of mankind in thisgeneration.

The book wasa biography on a missionary in China. "Pretty soon my prayers began following my interests. My moneythen followed my prayers, and I soon followed my money," TweddeD explained in his Arntzen Hall officelast week. In 1924 he joined the China Inland Mission, the largest of the non-denominational missions inChina. Along with trying to convert people to Christianity, Tweddell's duties included selling scripturesand doing "embryonic clinic work." College's dean appointed; official duties begin Sept. 1 Western's fourmonth old College of Business and Economics has its first Dean in Robert P. Collier. Currently deanof the College of Business at Utah State University in Logan, Collier was appointed by Paul Olscamp,Western president. Official duties for the new dean will begin Sept. 1. Receiving his bachelor's degree in political science from Reed College in Portland in 1942, Collier then earned his doctorate ineconomics from Stanford University in 1955. Collier became head of the business administrationdepartment at Utah State University in 1958. In 1968 he was appointed dean of the College ofBusiness at Logan after serving as Dean of the College of Business and Social Sciences for nine years. Collier, who was at Western for interviews April 1 and 2, spoke to more than 40 students about theprobability of forecasting future economic trends. Key ingredients to forecasting that Collier spoke of were historical trends, business cycles, federal monetary and fiscal policies and the probable outcomeof presidential elections. Personally attesting to the reliability of economic forecasting, Collier as agraduate student at Stanford, was part of a team which undertook forecasting the economy'sperformance over a five year period. The students were off the actual amount by one-tenth of onebillion dollars, Collier said. Similarily, in January, 1975, Collier forecast the year's gross national product would total $1,500 billion. Official government statistics show his figures were on the optimistic sideby .06 per cent. Front wins top honors in journalism contests The Western Front was named thestate's top four-year college newspaper in the Sigma Delta Chi professional journalistic competitionSaturday night in Seattle. The winning entry was from fall 1975 with Editor Dennis Ritchie. The judgescalled it "an excellent blend of news of interst to students." The University of Washington Daily placed second and the Whit-' worth College' Whitworthian finished third. The first place award was the Front'sfirst top honor in state competition in six years. The Front placed third in last year's competition. InColumbia Scholastic Press Association national competition, the Front was recently awarded a "FirstPlace" rating by scoring 935 out of a possible 1,000 evaluation points. All papers scoring above 850points were placed in the "First Place" category. The Front entries for the Columbia competition werefrom all four quarters of 1975. The editors were Bob Speed, Connie Tedrow, Greg Cohen and DennisRitchie. "I learned something about the dignity of the human race in China," the little man with a lingering Australian accent said. "I learned the range of human values is a universal. The same range ofpersonalities, aspirations and personal achievements is present in all peoples, irrespective of language, race and culture." But doesn't bringing a Western religion into a culture change and ultimately destroythat culture? "Agents of change are multiple. Missionaries are easily singled out because they arechangers by definition," he said. Tweddell told of being "bawled out" recently by a retired anthropoligistfor "going into a culture and changing it." "Looking back, I see I should have asked her if she had evermet a person down whose throat she could poke her opinions. She couldn't have; it's impossible to pokeanything down anyone's throat. Every person opens the door of his mind from the inside." As Tweddelltalked, students dropped in periodically to borrow books from his massive collection. His office is wall-to-wall books, but everything is neatly in its place. Tweddell looks just like what you would expect theowner of such an office to look like. His appearance is immaculate. Whether sitting or standing, he holdshis back completely erect. In his early seventies, he has a full head of gray hair and a moustache. Hisanachronistic, double-breasted, navy-blue suit is tailored to his slight, 5'5" frame. He looks distinguished,but pretentious he is not. In 1942, Tweddell and his wife and three children left China and came to theU.S. Why here? "There's a very simple, two-legged reason for that," he said as his eyes danced. "Imarried an American lady." Although he had only gone as far as junior high school in Australia, Tweddell decided to attend the University of Washington. By digging ditches in Seattle for 50c an hour, he slowlyearned money for tuition. In his freshman year he taught Chinese at the University. He also took alinguistic course that year. "I saw a good many missionaries retiring from China after spending theirwhole lives reducing a language to writing. I realized linguistics was the key to doing a better job in tenyears than they could do in forty." Tweddell enrolled in an intensive training course in the SummerInstitute of Linguistics. Since then, he has reduced five languages into writing, including Snoqualmie andDuwamish for his masters degree and Iraya (a Phillipine dialect) for his doctorate. In 1947 the Tweddellsreturned to China where, he said, they were treated "quite courteously" by the Communists. "There wasmore hostility towards us in the 1930s, in the earlier stages of the revolution. In southeast China, peoplesometimes spoke, against us at public meetings. I know of two public meetings held specifically fororganizing a mob to go arrest us. But on both occasions, a downpour of rain stopped them." At this hesoftly laughed, but became serious once more and added, "But the agitation came from outside and wasnot the feelings of the town's people." In 1951, the Tweddells quit the missionary business and camehome to the United States. Why? "Age," Tweddell replied. "I was tired."

The AS Board of Directors, who deal withover $250 thousand, of student's money, should be able to give answers to most of the campus issues.Not so, if this year's candidates are any example, the Front discovered. The "Opposition Party," ChasColeman and Jim Lazar, wants to see "security disarmed" and "a full time attorney hired to defendstudents." However, they should know security is unarmed, and as an arm and agency of the State, theAS would break the law by hiring an attorney. Coleman is running for President and Lazar is running forInternal Vice President. Good Luck, students! Although presidential candidate Stephen Mc- Callister,member of the unofficial Steve Barrett Party, knows the campus problems, he doesn't suggest anysolutions. In Western's annual invitational, McCallister is batting zero. Letters Bruce Ayers knows theproblems well enough to offer solutions, although somewhat generalized. Ayers' experience in sevenareas of the student governance system gives him an edge in the presidential race. Running againstLazar for Internal Vice President is Ricki Bussanich, another unofficial Barrett party member. She wantsto see the High Street problem solved, but who doesn't? She wants to see better health services, butoffers no solutions. Alexandra Henry is also running for the Internal V.P. spot. Citing a disorganized ASand a lax Program Commission shows her limited experience has not clouded her vision. Like Ayers,Henry offers generalized solutions, but both seem more up front than their opponents. â€” SuldDardarian. Reader asks, questions writer for straight facts Editor, Western Front: "Warm Beer or SourGrapes, Jeopardy wants to know." With reference to C. Michael Archer's letter (April 20), I direct thefollowing comments, with some naive hope that in the future he will get his facts straight beforecommitting them to paper: To begin with, C. Michael, Jeopardy is not the sponsor of the poetry readings at Fast Eddie's, nor in fact, does it have any formal connection with said readings (although they are ofa quality I would be pleased to support]. And as for your TASTELESS remark about a "scientist" beingawarded a poetry prize, I can only suggest that: (1) a mathematics graduate student is not a "scientist,"and (2) since you have never read the poem by George Dresser, the author in question, you are in arather ridiculous position to question its merits. (In fact your criticism is so oblique, it seems aimed more at the academic inclinations of the award-winning author than at his poetry, which displays a peculiar elitism on your part. Are you suggesting that English majors should necessarily make better writersthan math majors?) I am more than slightly aggravated to see such erroneous, emotionally biased and unsubstantiated material. Mature criticism is based on fact. I hope the implication is clear. M.Fay Jewell Editor, Jeopardy Fishing decision article includes wrong facts, seems'one sided7 Editor,Western Front: In your article of April 20, "Whitney explains fishing decision," you have a few thingswrong. For one thing, the Indians are not entitled to 50 per cent of the steelhead and salmon (salmonwas left out of your article). The Indians are only given an opportunity to catch 50 per cent of thesteelhead and salmon. The Department of Fisheries wants to preserve the fish runs and also enact thedecision by Judge Boldt. The reason the department has had such a hard time is the state courts havestopped the department of Fisheries everytime it has attempted to enact the decision. In futurearticles, I wish you would get your facts straight or not print them. ^This article seemed very one-sided. Ihave done some research on the decision and events that led up to it and what has happened after thedecision was made.

Letters debate to stop Thedebate between the Christians, atheists and W.D. Bokamper has not dealt with contemporary problems.It has been, we feel, a waste of time for all. If the discussion is warranted, then a public forum should bethe place. The letters in the Front should deal with issues on the campus and in the community, not thequestion of whether God or tihe Big Bang theory started the rat race. Christians will not convince atheists of their views on a printed page or vice versa. With that in mind, we are discontinuing the letters dealingwith the subject until the issue becomes relevant and newsworthy. We are a newspaper, after all. Ourpersonal view is the Big Bang may end the whole mess in a span of time. The bang will be set off by a nut and a red button. The nut doesn't live on campus, so the debate won't be anything for him or for us. Outto Lunch by DAN SMITH ADVISER: Jim Schwartz The startling news was first noticed by a low echelonclerk, who soon spread it upward and onward through levels of reporters, dissecters, analysts andtransmogrifiers. Within no time (a couple of months, give or take a few weeks) the condensed, simplifiedreport had reached the penthouse base of operations of the Fabulous Four high atop the Ivory Towercomplex in Gotham. Yes, the Fabulous Four, defenders of the peace, guardians of the right, championsof the true and, during slow periods, part-time aluminum siding salesmen. The report said a horriblemalady had afflicted the land, bringing frustration, loss of direction and disquietude. The incisive, in-depthreport concluded by offering no conclusions, so the Four set out on their own to find out, humming theirtheme: "Sunshine Supermen." Plastic Man, political leader of the Four, started bis search in the nation's capitol: Wonderland of the Potomac. When he entered the halls of Congress, he was flabbergasted. Thevast halls were almost empty, except for a few men with long beards, apparently dead at their desks, andcovered with cobwebs. Only one man still stood feebly, holding the floor. "In conclusion, I feel that topass this radical anti-slavery bill now would be a hasty act of untold consequence for the white race.Why, before you know it, even women will be wanting to be free," he wheezed out, then fell flat on the floor like all the others. Someone tapped Plastic Man on the shoulders. He turned to face perhaps the mostancient man he had ever seen. "Excuse me, sir," said the man. "Are you a member of the committeestudying the feasibility of establishing an oversight group to monitor the functioning of a regulatory agencydevoted to the setting up of a study group to analyze the question of whether the Commerce Committeeshould propose setting up a sub-committee on lichee nuts?" "No," Plastic Man said, "I'm not." "Ohfudge, you mean I'm going to have to repeat that to someone else?" the old man said, falling over fromexhaustion. Clearly, something was wrong here. Plastic Man next paid a visit to the What House to seethe Precedent. Inside, he noted everything had been padded and all the sharp edges were filed off.Suddenly, a man came bouncing down stairs on his head, spit out some gum, said something aboutnever doing that again. He screamed he was being chased by a ray-gun and ran out, stopping just longenough to post a sign saying "Out to Lunch at Pennsylvania, Indiana, Texas, West Virgina, etc. Be backin January . . . Maybe. Plastic Man figured he wouldn't find out much here. Finally, he went to the source. . . the famed Fountain of Votes. Every politician who went seeking here came back saying how muchyounger, intelligent and energetic he was now than before. It was empty, except for one old man in thecorner, waving a flag. "Remember the Maine, Remember the Alamo, Get on the Raft with Taft,Tippicanoe and Tyler Too, Propserity is just around the corner, Ask not what your country can do for you . . ." Obviously hysterical. Plastic Man approached him nonetheless. "Where are all the voters?" heasked. "Here," the old man replied. "And the Convention delegates?" "Here . . . it's me, I'm Old BenGunn . . ." Plastic Man could see no one else. The old man had obviously seen something that haddriven him mad. Suddenly, snarling among the spider webs and decayed yellowing ballots, the beastadvanced. Plastic Man saw it just in time. He attacked, changing the shape of his body, bis face andfeatures, the tone of his voice and even his molecular structure. He stretched himself to the breaking point and condensed himself to the point of uselessness. At each change the beast seemed satisfied, butsoon began to glower again and depress the air. Plastic Man turned old and tired and knew he had beendefeated. He is now lobbying for the Prune industry. (Next issue . . .

Arthel "Doc" Watson, 53, parlayed his powerful voice and fine finger pickin'guitar into a journey through America's musical heritage. Ably abetted by his son^Merle on guitar andbanjo, Doc and his new group Frosty Morn went from bluegrass to blues and from rock'n' roll to gospelwith ease and grace. The show began with Doc singing "I'm on My Long Journey Home." "Lost all mymoney but a two dollar bill," Doc wailed, and the audience was richer for it. Following a Mississippi JohnHurt tune from their.new album "Doc and the Boys," the band went into "a little foolishness" with a songabout a cat with measles and a dog with whooping cough. Though hardly a literary masterpiece, itfeatured great twin lead work from Doc and Merle. A Doc and Merle flat pickin' fantasy followed, thenanother John Hurt tune. A blues lengent, Hurt used to tour with Doc before he died, and his spirit wasalive here Sunday night. Doc spun a few stories about his early days in Stoney Fork, and took a fewswipes at the commercial record industry. He followed with "one of the few off the Nashville assembly like I like," titled "Gypsy Woman," it featured Merle on slide guitar. By now the audience was hootin' andhollerin' at the end of every song, and smiles were everywhere. Pianist Bob Hill announced that "it takesa musician to sing the blues, but anyone can feel it when you have irregularity," then came a Bill Monroetune in beautiful four part harmony. One of the loudest ovations of the evening was reserved for thepercussion work of Joe Smothers on a "Blue Suede Shoes/Tutti Frutti" medley. Smothers seemedslightly embarrassed by the accolades for his masterful work on washboard, bell and bicycle horn. Aroaring, stomping standing ovation brought Doc and the boys back for two encores. They included arocking version of "Riding on that New Railroad Train" and a gospel tune, "When the Roll is Called UpWonder I'll Be There." The latter produced, as Doc said it would, "A good healthy feeling to go homewith." Music defined in drums by CASEY BUHR People were feelin' it deep down Thursday afternoonwhen Dumisane, an Evergreen State College music teacher, played his African drums. In a workshop inthe Viking Union lounge, about 60 persons gathered close to hear Dumisane teach and play, along with10 other musicians who brought drums, sticks, wooden blocks and jeweled shakers. Dumisaneexplained that African instruments include drums, string instruments, wind instruments, marimba(metal keys), voices and "beat instruments" which cannot produce melodies and do not play more thantwo notes. Bells, blocks and shakers are beat instruments, he said. "But the drum is not a beatinstrument," Dumisane said. "You can make a drum speak." "Different parts of Africa make a 'big deal'out of different kinds of instruments," Dumisane said. Areas specialize by making instruments according to the natural resources there. Drums are not found in the desert, but in areas such as West Africa,where there are animals for hides and jungles for wood, he said. Dumisane kept the audience laughingwith his interpretations of American dances, his wide-eyed expressions and his imitations of differentinstruments. He said there are two types of music, recreational and spiritual. Recreational, or tribalmusic, is equivalent to what we listen to "on the AM," he said. "It's any music you pay money to hear."Spiritual music is special music, for a special time, by a special people, for a special occasion," hesaid, "like the death of a chief." . The lecture-demonstration preceded a show by the Dumisane MariereMarimba Ensemble, sponsored by the Black Student Union.

In the last six monthsNugent has gone from a cult-like following back east, to national prominence with a best-selling album, appropriately titled, "Ted Nugent/' Slumped in a chair, with bis shoulder length plus hair stuffed up into a white cowboy hat, the Ted Nugent watching TV and munching peanuts is bubbling about the Ted Nugent who has finally hit the musical spotlight that has avoided him for the past ten years. "It's the prouderman who lives in the house he built himself," Nugent said proudly. As the former leader of the AmboyDukes, Nugent has been known to come out on stage, wielding a bow and arrow, or jumping from astack of amps, wearing only a loincloth. For a while he would break glass with the piercing openingnotes of the Dukes' opening number, the list could go on. The night before Ted leaped from a mountain of amps to begin an encore. "I felt it, so I thought I'd do it. It's a total free for all out there," he said."Gimmickry has to be conducive and a byproduct of the music in order to be effective. I think it's agimmick to bend the notes or scream like I do," Nugent has been playing since he was nine years old.At age 16 he started the Amboy Dukes in Chicago, and a year later brought them to Detroit. At 27,Nugent has been recording for the past 10 years. He has been a part of 12 albums, a combination ofDukes' material and solo albums with various bands he's formed. "I've been on the road for the last 11years. I like to stay on the road and play a lot. The band now is ready, willing and able. People beforejust kept pooping out. I just kept hammering it out," he said. Nugent turns the channel of the television to a violent-filled picture. A manic woman begins shooting several people, and we both wonder what thewhole thing is about. Nearly four months to the day, Ted almost became Rock's first assassination victim when a youth pointed a .44 magnum revolver his way at a concert in Spokane. "I didn't even see itcoming. Hell, I didn't even know what was going on until after the show," he said. The same youth laterkilled four members of his own family. Success has been a ways in coming for Ted. His former label,Discreet, failed to promote him to the extent needed to grab a national audience. For the last five years,Nugent has managed himself, a task that kept him above water financially, but a job that was verydemanding, since he was still a musician constantly on the road. "I was just bitin' my tongue until a realpro could come along, which I got with Epic, (his current label). I signed with David Krepps, who alsomanages Aerosmith. My brother John is also my road manager," Ted said. New management can easilybe pointed out as the reason for the emergence of Ted Nugent here out on the west coast. Before aDecember date last winter, Nugent had never been to Seattle, or the west coast for that matter. Tonight,(Friday) Nugent would start off a show at the Seattle Center Arena that had Johnny Winter headlining.The next night Nugent had the whole show to himself at the Woodinville Dome. That show lasted nearlytwo hours, as Nugent and his band finally got what they wanted for some time. "We finally got to do ourown show. We played most of the album and some other stuff. Just kept hammerin' it out at them. Wereally cover a lot of territory when we can do our own like this," Nugent quipped. Nugent, who's fromDetroit, Michigan has quite a following back east. In most major cities, - the band headlines 15-16,000seat auditoriums. Next month, Nugent will share the bill with Aerosmith in an 80,000 seat auditorium.The show is completely sold out. And Ted Nugent is selling albums. The album "Ted Nugent," his latestand the first for Epic, is currently among the top twenty in Billboard Magazine, and will reach gold,(500,000 sales) in early summer. A single off the album entitled "Hey Baby," is receiving a great deal ofair play on both AM and FM stations around the country. Another album is set for a June release date. "I could have sold a lot of albums years ago if I had wanted to sell what the record companies wanted us to do, and had them properly produce and distribute the product. I had my own things I wanted to do and ifI'm going to make it I'm going to do it on my own terms," Nugent said. On stage the guitarist looks morelike a frontier, scout for the 5th Cavalry than a rising rock star. Clad in buckskin and fringes decorated by bird feathers, and necklaces of animal teeth, Nugent comes on like a ravaged madman as he rolls hiseyes at an audience and screams in a shrill that would make Alfred Hitchcock's dentures fall out. Athome in Michigan, Nugent owns a 2,000 acre farm, where he hunts and lives with his wife and two-year-old daughter. His stage gear is a product of his hunting prowess. Before the Saturday night show in theWoodinville dome, Ted sat in his room and watched TV while it rained outside. "I want the world, and Iwant it now," he said half jokingly. In another two hours he would be fanning the opening" chords to"Stranglehold," and Ted Nugent would have 2,000 fans just like that, in a stranglehold. What is a . . .BIRKENSTOCK? The distinguishing feature of the Birkenstock sandal is the molded footprint contour. Itwas inspired by observing the natural function of the foot on soft earth. A yielding surface supports thearch of the foot and invites the gripping action of the toes. The patented footprint contour is composed ofhighly elastic cork, it becomes flexible with body warmth and molds itself to your feet â€” becoming more "your own" with every step you take.

With its focus on employmentdiscrimination, job benefits and participation in government, the initiative is a measure which would setthe legal age of adulthood at 18. The initiative will be seven pages, the longest in the state's history.Costs for printing will be $2,500. Originally Ringhofer thought it would be around $300. The problemcame when legal requirements conflicted with pledges Ringhofer made for the campaign. In drawing upthe petition, he discovered 47 computer-typed pages listing 100 statutes which would be affected by theinitiative. The secretary of state requires these be printed on the initiative. Ringhofer pledged to wage agrassroots funded campaign, not accepting more than $25 from any contributor. So far this has brought$340. He needs the $2,500 and 17,784 signatures by the July 2 filing date, if the measure is to go on the November ballot. Ringhofer said his fund is small because "people are not used to giving smallcontributions." With media support, Ringhofer said he believes the public will endorse the measure. "A lot of people don't know about it," he said. "They'll help â€” but they need to know about it." The 25-year-old sociology /business graduate explained, "To be a fireman, you have to be 21. To be a metro-busdriver, you have to be 21. But to be a school bus driver, you can be 18. It isn't consistent." Eighteen-year-olds can work in city jobs, he said, but workers are not eligible to contribute to pension plans until24. He also described discrimination on college campuses. For example, Central Washington StateCollege and Washington State University require students under 20 to live on campus. Ringhofer said hedoes not see the drinking issue as the major one connected with the initiative, finding only six lawsdealing with age limits for alcoholic beverages. "I would rather see this initiative die because we didn'thave enough money than to try and get the big bucks," Ringhofer said. He wants it to be "a peoplecampaign, not one of big money." The address for the initiative is P.O 30669, Seattle, 98103. Box VUassociate director goes for top spot The Associated Students may not have to look far for its firstapplicant to replace Kay Burke, Viking Union director and student activities adviser. Jack Smith, VUassociate director, told the Front Thursday, he intends to apply for the position to be vacated Sept. 1. Tentative job descriptions for AS advisers were offered Wednesday to the AS Board of Directors bythe ASVU personnel committee. Smith said he is confident he could fulfill the job qualifications forthe directorship. He also said he would remain in his newly defined position if he was not selected toreplace Burke. Tim Douglas, associate dean for student affairs, said Thursday Smith's pay would staythe same or increase if he is accepted for the position. The director's annual pay is set at a maximum of $22,164. Smith's maximum annual salary tops at $19,148. The AS Board Wednesday established acommittee to decide what process will be used to find candidates.

WashPIRG still lacking funds by LIZ RUST Students may beunder the impression final negotiations for a WashPIRG at Western are a mere formality. According tosome Students for WashPIRG, they are far from that. Co-coordinators of Students for WashPIRG AnnShiras and Sam Adams, share the concern students do not really know where the situation with Western WashPIRG stands. The Board of Trustees in its March meeting approved a resolution to Western'sPIRGers' proposal, by a vote of three to one. The concept of WashPIRG was passed, the funding system proposed by PIRGers was not. The funding mechanism is still up for discussion pending approval of thePIRGer's funding concept by the state Attorney General. A presentation of this concept is still beingprepared. Final negotiations in the June meeting of the Board then, will hopefully come up with a suitable and favorable funding system for WashPIRG at Western next year. The funding concept in question is amandatory but refundable collection of $2, added to registration costs. College President PaulOlscamp has expressed his concern about the "mandatory nature" of fee collecting, as a requirement toregister for classes. Board Chairperson Ritajean Butter-worth and Board members Ark Chin and PaulHanson said in the March meeting they would prefer to see a voluntary funding system implemented.According to Steve McCallister, a coordinator of Students for WashPIRG, the definition of voluntaryfunding differs among members of the administration, and PIRGers. He said according to a memo fromOlscamp to the All-College Senate, Olscamp does not view the funding as voluntary because paying theadditional $2 is a condition for registering for classes. PIRGers feel it is voluntary, McCallister said,because students could later have the money refunded if they chose not to support the organization.Shiras stated PIRGers also view the funding mechanism as voluntary because an absolute majority of the students supported this proposed funding. In final efforts to pass WashPIRG funding at the Junemeeting of the Board, Students for WashPIRG are involved in an endorsement drive. They are seekingwritten endorsements of faculty, administrators and members of the community. Recently,Bellingham Mayor Ken Hertz gave the organization his endorsement. PIRGers have also receivedendorsements from the Washington Federation of Teachers' executive board, among other groups andindividuals. Shiras states the organization needs a great deal more in the way of endorsements beforethe June meeting. WashPIRG organizers at the University of Washington recently hit the 55 per centmark (over 16,000) in their signature drive, making it the fourth campus in this state to see majoritysupport for the WashPIRG proposal. Washington State University and Whitman College have alsoreceived majority support along with Western and the U of W. Both Adams and Shiras said if studentswant to see a PIRG at Western next year, and want to get involved in the effort, they can do so by:â€”Writing letters to the individual board members. Their addresses are in the Students for WashPIRGoffice, Viking Union 213. â€”Obtaining faculty endorsements from this office and taking them to facultymembers for signature. â€”Attending weekly meetings of Students for WashPIRG on Wednesdays at 3p.m. in Viking Union 224. â€”Attending the June meeting of the Board. Adams also stressed he wouldlike student input on what kind of projects WashPIRG should undertake, should a funding mechanism be passed.

Martin Rudy's throw of 148'1" inthe discus was good for first place. Second and third places went to Dave Brekke (129'9") and Paul Kelly (127'9") respectively. Dieter VanArsdale won the shot put easily at 51'4". Kelly improved about 10 feet inthe hammer throw for the fourth straight week to win that event with a heave of 120'2". Rudy, throwing the hammer for the first time in competition, was second at 116'. "My throws didn't feel good," Kelly said."I've been learning to throw the hammer from a crash course since this is the first year I've thrown it. Myform improves each week, but my improvement of 10 feet every week won't keep up." Double winnersfor the Vikings were Rod Bring in the 100 (11) and 220 (22.6), and John Ziebarth in the long and triplejumps (20'1" and 45'4Vi" respectively). Bring and Ziebarth both had season best performances. MikeThompson finished second in the triple jump with 44'ilÂ»/2". Clay Stenberg and Greg Wirtz got Westernstarted on a winning note by capturing first and second in the steeplechase. Stenberg won with a 9:55.3clocking and Wirtz was timed at 10:05.8. A unique feature of the race was there wasn't any water in thewater jump. The Viks also got firsts in the javelin, high hurdles, 440 and 440 relay. Chuck Creveling'swinning throw in the javelin was 190'9". Bill Church won the hurdles in a time of 16.3. He was second inthe high jump at 5'10". The relay team (Charley James, Johnson, John Huntley and Bring) had a 44.6clocking. James won the 440 in 52.1. In a tough mile race Matt Shaw fell to the track at the finish as heleaned forward in a futile effort to avoid being overtaken by a Portland runner who won in 4:29.5. Shawwas second with 4:29.6. "My legs started going wobbly and wouldn't hold me up when I started leaning," Shaw said.

Its original function was topractice for war and settle disputes between villages. Rules of the game were few and fields included theentire area between the competing villages. Killing an opponent to obtain the ball was acceptable andentire villages often took part. The form of lacrosse played by Western's Lacrosse Club is more refinedand less brutal but basically the same game played by the Indians. Using a pocket of leather webbingattached to a stick the members of the ten man squad pass the ball along a 100 yard field attempting toscore a goal as in soccer. In general it resembles ice hockey or soccer with the ball being passed in the air instead of the ground or ice. Helmets, arm and shoulder pads are worn for protection against"slashing," the checking of an opponent in any area of his body other than his arms, shoulders or stick."Slashing" is penalized by one minute in the penalty box lt; Western's lacrosse team is the newestmember of the Pacific Northwest Lacrosse Association. In their first season the team is winless butplayer-coach Rob Almy is optimistic about the team's development. "I wouldn't be afraid to play theseguys against anybody," he said following Sunday's 8-4 loss to the University of Oregon. Almy and goalie Chuck Sawyer are the only experienced players on a team comprised me inly of "the curious."Inexperience was evident in the loss to Oregon. Taking an early lead the Viks held their own and endedthe first half tied 4-4. Inexperience took its toll in the second half as the better organized Oregon teamcombined superior passing and Vik errors to add four goals. Almy was pleased with the performancepointing out that lacrosse scores usually run in the high teens. The low score shows a greatly improvingdefense. A small turnout is another reason for the team's poor record. There are twenty people on theteam roster with an average of about fifteen showing up for the games. Anybody wishing to turnout for the remainder of the season is encouraged. The club is made up of members of the community as well asWestern students. Saturday the team dropped a 13-5 decision to Seattle Lacrosse Club in Seattle.Goalie Sawyer recorded 20 saves for the Viks. Chuck Caley scored two goals for Western and PhilWiseman, Adams and Goon had one each. Steve Adams scored two goals against UO and Tim Goonand John Hale added one apiece. 'Cats, Eagles claw Viks; streak ends Losing matches to both Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges last weekend, ended the Western men's tennis team'swinning streak. The Viks, who had won five matches in a row, were beaten by Central 6-3 Friday anddemolished by Eastern 8-1 Saturday at Ellensburg. Against Central single wins came from JeffMcKinstry 6-3, 6-4; and Charly Black 6-2, 6-3. In doubles the lone win came from the team of SteveChronis-ter- McKinstry as Central defeated Western for the second time this year. Eastern handedthe Viks their worst defeat of the year. Providing the only win for Western was Gary Stansifer in singlescompetition, winning 6-4, 6-3. Coach Don Wiseman was disappointed with the unproductive weekend. "We obviously let down. Both Central and Eastern are good teams and they played the best tennis,"Wiseman remarked. "We have a lot of problems to iron out before the conference championships inMay."

Not because the deli haschanged the menu, but because it is a freedom he didn't have until 11 months ago. Steve spent 13 yearsbehind bars serving a 20-year-to-life sentence for first degree murder. . Last June, he came to Western as a Project PerFECT resident where he attends classes while serving the remainder of his sentence. Hewas 16 when he was sent to Walla Walla in 1962: A year later he was moved to Monroe Reformatorywhere he finished high school. He spent 10 years in Monroe and then was transferred to the Honor Farmwhere he milked cows and made renewal tags for license plates. In 1975, Steve learned of ProjectPerFECT through his counselor. The project was founded in March 1975. It's aim is to help easeprisoners back into society before they are paroled. Seven men and two women now live in Highland Hall and attend classes at Western, Whatcom Community College and Bellingham Vocational Technical Institute. Steve is a Computer Science/ Math major. The state finances the program but residents pay$6 a day for room and board and pay all their college expenses. Steve said he has spent the last 11months in what he calls "normal" society. He learned how to survive in prison, he said, and now throughProject PerFECT is learning how to survive in outside society. Steve said he has a pretty easy time of itin the project because he's been in it a long time and the longer a resident stays, the more privileges hehas. On a typical school day, he signs out for classes at the project's office and is expected to return on time. He must account for all his movements around campus. Steve said it's hard to make friends oncampus. "It's difficult to look at a convict and give him a chance as a Derson." he said. "You want to say 'Gee, there are a couple of good things about me. "You're not going to find many people in prison whoare satisfied or proud of what they did," he said, raking his.brown hair off his forehead. Steve cannotjustify his own crime and has to cope with that every day of his life, he said. In his spare time, Stevestudies or relaxes in his room. If he wants to go to the library or the student lounge, he gets a specialpass and must return at a specified time. He is not allowed to go to another student's room but friendscan visit him by signing into a log. Visitors can remain until midnight. One of the projects members,Frank Prill, was named as a suspect in a tavern shooting last February. Afterwards, project directors met with the local law enforcement and some changes were made. The curfew is now an hour earlier.Residents can stay out until 11 p.m. weeknights and midnight on weekends. "Frank Prill does something and disappears, but we are suffering more than Frank Prill ever will," Steve said. Steve said he doesn'tthink the new curfew is too important, but, it can be an inconvenience when a movie doesn't end untilmidnight. Steve added, "It wouldn't have stopped the Frank Prill incident anyway. That happened before11 p.m." If Steve wants to go off campus, he goes with a sponsor. A sponsor is someone in thecommunity who has temporary custody of a resident. The sponsorship program was named as thebiggest fault in the Prill incident. A resident is not allowed to leave a sponsor at any time, which Prill did. Prill's sponsor did not call the project immediately when he failed to return. "One of the changes wedecided on, but were somewhat forced by law enforcement to do, was we had to have monthlysponsorship meetings," Steve said. Some sponsors have dropped out because the meetings can be aburden, he said. Steve has two student sponsors. Wives and girlfriends are usually sponsors, he said,but when he came to the program, he had no one like that to sponsor him. Steve agreed not to drinkalcohol when he came to the project, and residents are not allowed to go into taverns. The projectmonitors 15-20 per cent of the social outings so there is always the possibility of being found in violationof the agreements. Steve said that's why he abides by the regulations. A violation would result in ahearing and he could be sent back to prison. And Steve thinks if he were sent back, he'd probably besent back for good. In August, Steve will appear before two members of the parole board for a progressreport. When he is paroled, Steve plans to continue at Western. Afterwards he'll go where the jobs are.Steve said he might describe himself as a hard-core unemployable because there are some positions hecannot hold, like working in a bank. "But I think I'm more honest than the average person on the streetbecause I have more to lose," he said. He said it will probably be impossible to ever get away from thestigma society puts on the criminal. "Society makes no distinction between a felon and an ex-felon," hesaid.

SAGA: Good food or good looks? byLIZVERDEER Are cheese enchiladas, turkeygoulash, mixed peas and carrots and tuna noodle casserole essentially nutritious for the students whoeat at Saga? As unappetizing as it may seem, it is nutritious if you know the quantity and varietyneeded to make the Tnininnim daily requirements. Mary Ann Reed, of the Viking Commons foodservices, said students must be aware of what nutrition is all about to eat nutritiously there. "Last quarterSaga ran a program with pamphlets and posters to help people choose the right foods to eat," Reed said. This quarter there is a big bulletin board inside the dining area that is changed periodically, offering hintstoward good nutrition. "I think Saga should stand for Students Against Good Appetite," complained onestudent who wishes to be unidentified. A student will choose a great quantity of one type of food,because it is something he recognizes, without knowing his daily requirements, Reed said. Withregards to variety, Saga offers three entrees per meal each day, trying not to repeat a menu during theweek. Recipes are sent to them from California, and once in a while a new recipe is tried, with little or noreaction. "People are particular about the foods they eat," Reed said. "We try as best we can to pleaseeverybody. We are a service organization." Another problem in nutritional eating is the time element."People eat so fast because they feel pressure of the crowded conditions of the dining hall," Reed said.Instead of taking their time, getting their main course, and going back for their salad, dessert and milk,they get it all at once, generally heaping the main course, and skipping the salads completely to get agood seat, she said. "Students are creatures of habit," Janice Peach, instructor of nutrition in homeeconomics, said. She knows Saga tried different foods, but said people wouldn't eat them. A surveydone on nutrition by one of her students found that students surveyed who felt they couldn't eatnutritiously, were goverened by how appetizing the food looked. Some were just ignorant of what wasrequired for daily nutrition, it found. "All the food is of the highest quality," Peach said. "All you have todo is choose properly; the final decision is yours," Reed offered. So remember the nutritious value of thatliver before you take a second helping of potatoes. by LOUIE PHILLIPS The Associated Studentsrunoff election was thrown into a tizzy Wednesday. Presidential candidate Chas Coleman mailed 70ballots to the Center for Urban Studies in Seattle, Election Board Chairperson George Robbins told the AS Board of Directors. Robbins had not informed the Seattle branch of Western's campus of theelection or the procedure for receiving absentee ballots. Under the election code, persons wishing anabsentee ballot must present their student identification when receiving it. "It is inappropriate for acandidate to walk around with 70 ballots," AS president Steve Barrett said Wednesday. "It's one thing to walk around and tell people to go down to Red Square and vote. It's another to take ballots to thedorm," Sue Meyers, AS secretary/treasurer, said drawing an analogy to on-campus campaigning.Barrett said there is a possibility a candidate could "selectively choose" whom he would offer ballots to. The board decided to disqualify any absentee ballots which had not been requested inaccordance with the established procedure. Robbins informed the Seattle group to return the ballotpacket when it arrived in the mail. ' There is a possibility the runoff election could be disqualified ifthe 70 ballots are not returned. The policy concerning the method of obtaining absentee .ballots cameafter a similar episode occurred last year. Ayers, Bussanich, win Bruce Ayers and Ricki Bussanich willfill the top spots in next year's Associated Students government. , Ayers, with 621 votes, beatOpposition Party candidate Chas Coleman who received 439 ballots for president. Bussanich, with550 ballots, took the vice presidency. Opposition Party candidate Jim Lazar polled 438. Lazar lead therace in the general election. Lisa Arzberger took the Recreation Council representative race with 447votes against Karen Pitt's 318. AS Election Board Chairperson George Robbins said the vote isunofficial until the AS board ratifies the results. ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front â€¢Friday, May 7,1976 Western grad gets Fu lb right scholarship to France by KARENOSTRANDER Patricia Ann Cahill-Lundquist, 1975 Western graduate, was recently selected by theInstitute of International Education to receive a French government teaching assistantship â€” part of theFulbright-Hays Scholarship Program. Lundquist, employed in the admissions office, will leave alone inAugust to teach conversational English for a year in a French high school. Twenty men and 20 womenreceive foreign teaching assistant-ships each year. Three Western students won the award in the past 20 years, according to Gary Lampman, Western's Fulbright adviser. Born and raised in Mount Vernon,Lundquist attended Gonzaga University before coming to work full-time at Western in 1970. She"squeezed in" one or two classes each quarter and graduated magna cum laude last December with abachelor's degree in French. Lundquist, who also speaks some Italian and German, said she beganstudying languges because she thought it would be fun. "I was always interested in foreign languagesand foreign countries," she said. "Foreign languages really take a back seat in this country. I feel it isvery important to be able to converse with people in their own language." Faculty members in the foreignlanguage department helped her get the award, Lundquist said. "If my instructors hadn't been as helpfulas they were, I doubt that I would be going," she said. "They have been very inspirational during the pastfew years." Lundquist, who has never left the West Coast, said she hopes to visit East Coast relativesshe has never seen before leaving for Europe. Lundquist's husband Robert, a private music teacher andcomposer, will visit her in Europe. "My husband's example as a teacher has been very inspirational tome," Lundquist said. "I am not looking forward to the separation from my husband, but it's such afantastic growing experience that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

An audit by the Legislative Budget Committee has found "too many classes were offeredwith too few students enrolled" at Eastern Washington State College. As a result, other statecolleges, including Western, have six months to conduct a self-analysis of faculty load and class sizes,according to Jim Albers, Western's vice provost for instruction and research. The committee's audit ofEastern was the first in a series of college audits. The committee's recommendations, which will be voted upon by the full committee on May 21 in Wenatchee, will apply to all state colleges. The staffrecommended Eastern meet its faculty teaching load standards and establish class size standards. AtWestern, faculty load standards are being established. The staff found Eastern faculty were deviatingfrom the college's standard 12-credit-hour per quarter load. According to Eastern, 65 per cent of itsfaculty teach less than 12 credit-hours per quarter. Western faculty spend 16 hours per quarter in theclassrooms, according to fall 1974 statistics. The staff criticized Eastern's class sizes because 18 percent of the classes had enrollments of under 10 students, not including individual conference courses. AtWestern, 15 per cent of the classes have less than 10 students enrolled. ' Bradly Duerr, who conductedEastern's audit, was critical of classes with less than 10 students. "There are too many programs thatdon't have sufficient demand. Many times, classes were small because of lack of students" he said. The staff also said 143 course sections could be eliminated by consolidations. The examinations andrecommendations by the staff about specific courses have raised protests from Western administrators.Albers, who is coordinating Western's re-, sponse to the audit, called the recommendations "meddling."An "average" Western in-, structor works over 62 hours per week, according to figures released byWestern's Bureau for Faculty Research. The issue of how hard faculty work was raised by a recentaudit criticizing faculty loads and class sizes at Eastern Washington State College. At a recent hearingof the Legislative Budget Committee, which conducted the audit, one legislator reportedly asked, "Whycan't faculty members be on campus for 40 hours a week?" Statistics for fall, 1974, show Westernfaculty spend 41 hours a week on instruction duties; approximately 25 hours in the classroom and 16 on student consultation and class preparation. The statistics were from a compilation of surveyscompleted by faculty members. The remaining 21 hours is divided among scholarly activities suchas professional meetings and conferences, administrative and committee workload and studentadvisement. Western faculty teach an average of 3.4 classes per quarter. There is an average of 22.7people in each of those classes. Faculty also average 2.7 single-student conference classes. Fairfeatures cardiac fatalities prevention "This type of study gets into curriculum matters, which are usuallydesigned by faculty and administrators," Michael Barnhart, executive assistant to the president, said.Sen. Gary Odegaard, D-Centralia, and Legislative Budget Committee chairman, cited as a reason for theaudit a legislative goal established in the 1960s that four-year college faculty work 12-credit-hours perquarter. He said legislators become concerned "when, they see something out of line. It's not that theywant to be meddling." Other recommendations of the staff would: â€”Begin the establishment of "explicituniform standards for teaching loads and class sizes" for all state colleges. â€”Have the state collegesreview faculty utilization practices. Prevention of cardiac fatalities is featured at the spring quarterhealth fair, which began yesterday and runs through today. The fair ends at 3 p.m. today. Heartattacks are the most common cause of death in the United States. Many cardiac deaths occurunnecessarily, according to Elaine Grasdock, a nurse at the Student Health Center. A film on "Cardiac-Pulmonary Resuscitation" (CPR) will be shown today at 9, 10:30 a.m., noon and 1:30 p.m.Mannequins will be available for practicing CPR techniques. St. Luke's Hospital is sponsoring a freeblood pressure test at the fair, and a representative from the Washington Lung Association willspeak about pollution. Also featured are exhibits from Planned Parenthood and the Bellingham FreeDental Clinic. The Western physical education department will present a film on exercise, and thehome economics department will offer an exhibit on nutrition. The health department began the healthfair program in fall 1975 with the idea of letting people know what health care is available locally,Grasdock said. the DAILY FLASH PRESENTS A DANCE-CONCERT WITH ^0 K * ^ *Â£%OJTLETS:QJC.STEREO CENTER, BELLINGHAM SOUND, BUDGET TAPES RECORDS FAIRHAVENBOOKS V.U.

Program Commission ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 7 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, May 7,1976 Opinion Administration drowns in soup Western administrators aredrowning in their annual bowl of alphabet soup. The CPE, LBC, OPP FM, House and Senatecommittees, the federal government and other agencies are all grabbing for reports on Western'soperations, including budgets. The state legislature authorized during this last season 20 studies towhich Western will have to respond. We would like to join the administration in its frustration over thesedevelopments. "Accountability" seems to be the buzz word of bureaucracy for the rest of the year.The Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) started early this year calling for statistics on how much faculty research is being done here. Now Western is compiling a report, at their request, on the cost ofteaching every single class here â€” right down to Biology 101. Now the Legislative Budget Committee(LBC) is asking colleges to report on class size and faculty load, after auditing Eastern WashingtonState College and calling them academically "ine-ficient." The Office of Program Planning and FiscalManagement (OPP FM), ah administrative agency, monitors all the colleges' fiscal affairs. Western hasto ask OPP FM permission to spend locally generated revenue (tuition and fees). The state House andSenate Higher Education Committees are responsible for all the laws concerning higher education. Ifadministrators are interested in the future of Western, they have to supply sufficient information.Legislative ways and means committees review the colleges' budgets. Each biennium Western mustpresent its budget requests to them. Other agencies seeking strategic information from Western includea personnel board, insurance board, college and university associations and the federal government (for affirmative action use). University of Washington President John Hogness has recently given all hisacademic duties to a fellow administrator to allow himself time to handle other issues, including thosementioned above. What's going to happen to Western's administrators?. Correction Due to a reportingerror in Tuesday's Front, a quote about jeopardizing nursing home patient's lives was attributed toDean Rutledge, local administrator, Dept. of Social and Health Services (DSHS). The quote shouldhave been attributed to Edward C. Burke, chief, DSHS Office of Nursing Home Affairs. Out to LunchM*â€”â„¢- As we rejoin our story, the Only Thing, our Fabulous Leftover, being very literal-minded, hasdecided to get to the root of the problem. So, he has dug beneath Gotham's famed Ivory Tower and hasemerged in the cavernous city of Ygdrasil. Therein stand the three great carved obelisks which are said tosupport the floor of the Western World. O.T. was furious, upon approaching the first obelisk, to find itsguard fast asleep at the base. "Wake up and answer some questions!" he screamed, furiously kickingthe guard. But the guard only smiled, "Let Sam take care of it." Finally after some low blows whichseemed to attract his attention the guard looked up, disturbed at having to think: O.T. fumed, "Someguard you are. You're lazy, ignorant and probably a drunkard to boot." "Hey, you can't talk to an officialGuard that way; it's treasonous." "I have a right . . ." "A what?" "You dunce, you ought to be replacedright now." "Hey, are you threatening to overthrow the established Guardship?" "I have a right to if you'reunresponsive." "A what? You sound like a troublemaker." "Dolt. Cherl. Haven't you ever read this obeliskyou're leaning on?" "Why should I? I'm a patriot." O.T. decided not to carry that any further, so he wentto the next obelisk. This one had several guards, but none were doing their duty because they were allengaged in a heated argument. O.T. asked them to explain what they were fighting about. It turned out to be related to the writing on the obelisk. Some asserted the writing supported a manichaen tripartiteexistential stoicism, others asserted it didn't; some claimed it didn't discuss those matters at all. O.T.asked why all this was so importamt. "If I do it his way I won't be saved," each asserted of the other."Saved from what?" O.T. asked. "If you have to ask, you aren't saved." 'O.T. decided to leave that riddleto the Sphinx and proceeded to the third obelisk. Upon approaching it he was instantly pleased, for thisguard was the very essence of vigilance; his prowling eyes and firm stance challenging all whoapproached. "Do you want to look at the Obelisk?" he asked. O.T. replied affirmatively. "O.K., admission is $1." "Admission! But this is a public obelisk." "Hey, are you against free enterprise?" "But, but. . .look what you've done. You've covered the obelisk with colored lights and painted dirty pictures on it. Youcan't even read it anymore." "Gotta give the public what they want. Nobody'd pay to see a plain oldobelisk. 'Scuse me, the concession owner is here." The guard took some money from a till, kept a littlefor himself and passed the rest to a man with a briefcase labeled "Obelisk Enterprises" who kept a littlefor himself and passed the rest to a man with a briefcase labeled "Underground Industries, Inc." who kept and passed to "Ygdrasil Conglomerate," etc. The men with briefcases stretched all the way beyond theblue horizon. "Where does it end?" O.T. asked. "Search me," Lhe guard said. Suddenly, O.T. saw thebeast digging its way into the cavern and chewing on the obelisks. He called on the trinity of JesusChrist, Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson, but he had become so transformed by his recent experiencesthat his blows passed right through the beast, who devoured him.

AD VlSBtVJim SchwaW* ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 7 - Page 5 ---------- Letters Friday, May 7,1976 Western Front 5 Story called inaccurate, misleading, exaggerated,accusatory, etc. etc. etc. Editor, Western Front: Your recent front-page, headlined story concerning the Fairhaven Co-op Dorms was a disservice to the English language, journalism, the Fair-haven Go-ops,Pete Coy and most importantly, to the truth. Not only was it inaccurate, misleading, exaggerated,accusatory, derogatory and inflammatory, but it was also a personal affront to all concernedparties. The author of the article, Ms. Barb Felver, apparently imagines the co-op dorms to be greatvillains extorting special privileges from Western's unsuspecting and downtrodden students. Shedemonstrates her bias in her very first sentence when, rather than letting the facts speak for themselves, she editorializes by declaring, "In the age of tight money for Western, some do get a break." Clearly, the implication is someone is unjustly receiving special privileges at the expense of the rest ofWestern. Subsequently, the author attempts to ascribe this injustice to the Fairhaven Co-op Dorms incollusion with Housing and in so attempting, seriously maligns them both. However, if one examines carefully the examples the author cites of Co-op villainy and negligence, one quickly ascertains theirinaccuracy and ^representation and comes to appreciate the magnitude of her disdain for the Co-ops.The author seems much concerned about the size of the so-called subsidy (I dispute theappropriateness of the term) Co-op residents are supposedly receiving by special agreement withHousing. In one paragraph, she supplies specific exaggerated figures of Housing's losses and inthe very next one she states, "The amount of subsidy is not clear." What purpose does it serve to offerthese doubtful figures except to influence the reader unfavorably toward the Co-ops, but it is also losingmoney on the rest of the Fairhaven dormitory complex and on other college housing which the authordoes not mention. By failing to mention this, she suggests, to the discredit of the Co-ops, that theyare the only non-self-sustaining housing units on campus. Further, the author fails to consider if the Co-op didn't exist, it is likely their respective buildings would be nearly, if not totally, empty (as they werewhen the first co-op was organized) and that the so-called subsidy, the losses incurred by Housing,would thereby be much greater. As for the reported agreement with Housing to subsidize the Co-ops,the author once again misrepresents and distorts the situation. There never was a formal agreement to explicitly subsidize the co-ops; there was only an agreement to allow the Co-ops to exist. Thisagreement was clearly to the advantage of Housing at the time the Co-ops were first organized, as mostof the Fairhaven dorms were then completely empty! Had Ms. Felver wanted to accurately report oncurrent co-op/housing relations, she would have noted the campus housing situation has changed since the initial formation of the Co-ops (Housing's costs have gone up, slightly 'higher Fairhaven occupancy rates, etc.), that both housing and the co-ops are well aware of this and that they are currentlyattempting to close consultation with each other to respond to these changed conditions. Huxleybuilding 'result of good planning, design' Editor, Western Front: I share Professor Roley's frustration overan expensive and all-but-unused air conditioning system, but feel that readers of the Front areentitled to a more holistic view of the roots of the obvious disparity between design and presentfunction of the Environmental Sciences Center (ESC) than is contained in his letter of April 13. Since Iwas the first chairman of the program committee, I am probably as well qualified as anyone tocomment on the functions that were to have been served by the building. Planning is based on sets ofconditions provided to planners by state agencies. The planners do not generate this data. Theassumptions for the ESC were an institution that would continue to grow and an increasingly diverse institutional role that would include considerable regional research. Accordingly, the ESC waspresented to the program committee as a regional laboratory to be built on campus to serve theenvironmental research needs of 16,000 students â€” but one that, because of Huxley, sciencedepartments, the Institute for Freshwater Studies, the Shannon Point Marine Center and otherenvironmental programs would be involved in a great deal of research in this field. It was an excitingconcept and one which did not then seem overly ambitious. The concept was approved by thelegislature when they funded the building outside and in addition to Student Credit Hours (SCH),generated classroom space. If the structure now lacks classrooms, as Professor Roley has pointedout, it is because it was not designed to be a classroom facility (the first floor seminar rooms are anexception). The building program (instructions given to the architects) that was approved by theBoard of Trustees and the Legislature as their basis for funding the project, was to build to serve as yetunknown research programs in the natural sciences, economics, social sciences, regional planningand other aspects of the rapidly growing area of environmental science. We told the architects to giveus maximum flexibility of internal partitions and furnishings and maximum availability of basiclaboratory services, and we (the program committee, campus planners, central administration andTrustees) told them to build a totally air-conditioned research laboratory building with appended offices and seminar rooms. That is what they gave us. The building was the result of good planning anddesign. The decisions that have been made since then (to use research space to house SCHgenerating activities, to move the geology department and the technology department's shops andlabs into the building, to shut down the air-conditioning unit for reasons of economy) have been false tothe planning process in general, to the building program for environmental sciences in particular andeven to our presentation of the concept of a research facility to the Legislature. To put it simply, abuilding that was well-planned and well-conceived to serve one function now poorly serves another,quite different one. Could it have been otherwise? A. C. Broad Biology Professor -6ur response maylikely take the form of higher rental rates (but still lower than the rest of campus), leasing our building,and perhaps some arrangements as yet unimagined. Ms. Felver did a grave disservice to the collegecommunity in misrepresenting these and past developments. Paul S.Atlas Poet waxes over 'viciousattack' Editor, Western Front: Having been viciously attacked in a presumptuous manner by M.

It seems like only yesterday I was on a destroyer shelling their coast: BAM-BAM . . . BAM-BAM . . . hour after hour; over10,000 shells tearing their cities and land to pieces. I don't know how many soldiers we killed, orwomen and children, or how many thousands we wounded. I feel sick about it. I wish we would helpthem repair the damage, replace the arms and legs blown off by our bombs and shells with artificiallimbs. But Ford won't allow it, he refuses to even-grant amnesty.

Jimmy Buffett is a uniquesinger-songwriter with the distinction of being able to defy categorization. He's too musically soft-spokento be a rocker, yet his mad-cap, eliptical lyrics don't really qualify him for the folk music class. Ruthlessblues stuns crowd byDONCREERY Ellen Mcllwaine stunned a half-capacity crowd Sunday in theConcert Hall with a treatment of the blues that was as ruthless as it was original. As the opening actof the Bellingham Blues Festival, Mcllwaine used the blues as a loose framework on which she hungheavy electronic improvisations highlighted by the slashing slide guitar that has distinguished her as oneof the most progressive performers in the blues field. Dressed in a black evening gown with her hair up in a large pile of curls, her appearance was far from the straight-haired earthy-image her albums suggest. The change, she explained, is to help dispel the idea that she is a folk artist, a fallacy Mcllwaine tookgreat delight in destroying in the course of the evening. Mcllwaine played a well gnawed Guildacoustic, modified by an electric pickup sloppily taped to her guitar. She prefers a modified acousticover an electric guitar because the latter is "like taking home a bony, skinny ribbed guy." Mcllwaine wasunaccompanied throughout her act. After a few sones it became obvious why. Few musicians couldmatch her instrument daring or reckless attitude toward music. She best summed up this unconventional attitude with comments on her closing number, an attempt to imitate the sound of a sitar on guitar, "itisn't very accurate, and it isn't very respectful, but it sure is a lot of fun."

After dropping out of college, heventured onto New Orleans, Nashville and Key West, Fla., his current home. During this time he wroteand performed, while gaining a reputation that has become known in nearly all phases of music â€”country, folk, pop and rock. But again Buffett defies the classification of singer/writer. In the summer of1974 Buffett worked in the northwest, acting in and scoring Frank Perry's latest film, "Rancho Deluxe." He is also collaborating with Thomas McGuane ("82 in the Shade") on a screen play called "RoadsideAttraction," about a fictional serpentarium on the Tamiani Trail. A thumb and a song have taken Jerry JeffWalker a long way. He grew up in New York, paid his dues in Louisiana and Texas, where he formed arock'n'roll band called Circus Maximus. After a while, it was back on the road for Jerry. A rambling,street-wise storyteller, who sings about what he sees and lives just about the way he sings, Jerry Jeffcame up with a song everyone knows, "Mr. Bojangles." Eventually he ran into the Lost Gonzo Band, agang of renegades on the Texas music scene. The Lost Gonzo Band includes John Livingston, JohnInmon, Tomas Rameriz, Gary P. Nunn, Kelly Nunn and Donny Dolan. Tickets are $5 in advance and$6.50 at the door, and are available at Budget Tapes and Records, Aardvark Books and the Mount BakerTheater box office.

A listener can find himself toetapping to hot swing from Benny Goodman and bis clarinet solos; sweet swing from Glenn Miller; thescat singing of Ella Fitzgerald and even a few danceables from the innovative Artie Shaw. "I mostly playmusic from the years of '36-'46," Brown, who collects early jazz recordings and reads about the era as a hobby, said. During this decade, he explained, much of the music created was for ballroom dances.The music scene changed when the final effects of the depression were lifted from people's minds.Spending money and leisure time became realities once again.

"She would only play the album 3 or 4 times a year, but when she did ..." he recalled with a smile. The radio announcer had more reason to begin his show than simply his interest in the music. "I knew a lot of people would like it. Swing music came in a period college students missed. So I hopeto expose the music to those who have never had the opportunity to seriously listen to it," Brown added. Count Basie and his orchestra will appear for a concert and dance 8 p.m. May 14 in Carver Gym. Alltickets are $3 and are available at the VU desk, Q.C. Stereo, Bellingham Sound Center, FairhavenBooks and Budget Tapes and Records. William "Count" Basie and his band burst on the musicscene over 40 years ago, and have been tops in jazz and swing ever since. He has played Carnegie Hall and has given a command performance for the queen of England. He has performed with Frank Sinatra,Ella Fitzgerald and Tommy Dorsey. They*play big band sound and Kansas City Blues. Smooth andsweet or loud and brassy, they play it like nobody else can. Closing the Bellingham Blues FestivalNumber 1 tomorrow night will be John Lee Hooker, along with his special guest Sunny land Slim.Hooker has been an important part of the blues scene since the late forties. His music has been theinfluence of many of today's music makers, particularly in England and Europe. Hooker's father was ablues-man of local repute, and people like Blind Blake, Charley Patton and Blind Lemon Jefferson wereoften guests of the Hooker home. He first performed with local gospel groups around his hometown ofClarksdale, Miss. It was the blues though, that ws more meaningful to him. In his mid-teens he left home working odd jobs and playing blues. He first recorded in 1948, on the Sensational label, and in his ownwords, "I got my start, then I clicked." Hooker has a number of success levels, one as a blackbluesman, another as a folk singer and a third as statue figure in the line of European blues leaders.THE PICTURE SHOW ^ " OUR FESTIVAL ^ ^ OF MOST REQUESTED FILMS CONTINUES WITH: PTHE4TRE 1421 n.

Western Front Friday, May 5,1976 Hot sauce joints not spice of life by JAN NEWBERRY The PacificNorthwest does not exactly overflow with Mexican culture. So you wouldn't expect Bellingham, beingso far from the Mexican border, to have an abundance of Mexican restaurants. And you would be right.Perhaps the most obnoxious Mexican restaurant in town is Taco Time. Characterized by a big neoncactus, this fast food franchise offers the standard selection of tacos, tamales, burritos, tostadas and.chili. Luckily this isn't the best Mexican food in town. The stuff here is more grease than anythingelse. But the soft shell tacos and burritos are proof that even big business has a social conscience.Prices run farily high. You can pay up to $1.90 for a "Bandios Supreme" which is nothing more than asouped up tamale. A simple taco is 55 cents. You don't pay for the atmosphere. Except for a fewpsuedo- Spanish light fixtures and a little bit of wrought-iron railing this place looks like a high schoolcafeteria. Dos Padres is the place to go if you're looking for atmosphere. With candlelight and fancywall hangings, Dos Padres reminds me of the kind of place my mom and dad go to eat. They have live entertainment; a folk, classical or flamenco guitarist. There is a lounge where you can order exoticdrinks like Pina Coladas, Aztec coffee and Margueritas by the pitcherful along with six kinds of imported beer. The speciality here is enchiladas and chili rellenos but they offer a full selection of Mexicanfoods including appetizers, salads, soups, some not so SPiaN' IT UP â€” Susan Lamb and Bob Rosstest out food at The Mexican Village. Mexican desserts and extras like jalapeno peppers and sourcream. The quality of the food here, while superior to Taco Time, isn't very good. You come here for theatmosphere. The bean burritos are a little bland and the small serving is really small. But the hot sauceis out of this world. Expect to spend a lot of money if you eat here. For a single burrito and an Azteccoffee my bill was over $4. The most authentic and reasonably priced Mexican food in Bellingham is at the Mexican Village Cafe on State Street. Most of the ala carte items are under a dollar. A bean burrito is 50 cents and the most expensive dinner on the menu is only $3.55 for three chili rellenos, beansand rice. The cooks here whip one mean burrito, though a bit small, it has big chunks of spicy roastbeef and is served soft and warm straight from the oven. The enchiladas and rellenos ooze with j ackcheese. * The decor is like a Mexican cantina, Pacific Northwest style. Crocheted sombreros decoratethe cash register and the curtains are knit fabric printed to look like a Mexican blanket. A sign hangs atthe end of the counter summing up the whole Mexican food situation in Bellingham. It features a rather pale skinned Spanish dancer sticking out in 3-D from a fake red velvet background. Surrounded by aplastic frame, it reads "Ole con Oly." "A BREATH-TAKING FILM! High-pitched passion and romance . . . brilliant performances.

Coming off two dual meet victories over the University of Portland (100-50) and Pacific Lutheran University (102-60), the Vikings appear to be ready for thechampionship meet. Host Eastern is the defending champion and overwhelming favorite to take theirthird straight title. Coach Ralph Vernacchia agreed that Eastern will wrap up another win, but said as itstands now Western will be battling it out for fourth place with Southern Oregon State College. He added that Oregon College of Education and Central Washington will be struggling for second. Two yearsago Vernacchia, in his first year as coach at Western, took his squad to a fifth place finish. Last yearthe Viks placed fourth. "Although we have a much better team than last year, realistically we can get afourth place," Vernacchia said. With a little help from Eastern and Central to offset some of OregonCollege's points, Vernacchia said Western could pull out a third place finish. Among Eastern's loaded squad are three nationally ranked high jumpers. They include Rick Teller (first in the nation at 7'W),Greg Mitchell (6'10") and Daryl Holmes (6'8"). Western's strong performances should come from the440 and mile relays, 880 yard run, six and three mile runs, shot-put and discus. Oarsmen seek fifthstraight LaFromboise Cup tomorrow Seeking its fifth straight Northwest small college rowingchampionship, the Western crew will row for the LaFromboise Cup tomorrow at Lake Washington inSeattle. The race is held in conjunction with the Steward's Cup Regatta for larger schools. Viking coachMarty Beyer reported that freshmen Paul Krause and John Hoal have moved up to fill two slots in thevarsity eight-man boat. They join Levi Ballard, Dave Reel, Craig Gustafson, Mark Yormark, Bob Griffithand Callen Borgias. The coxswain is Steve Egglin. Washington State University, Seattle Pacific College, University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran University will be vying along with the Viks for the cup,the symbol of small college crew supremacy in the Northwest. Beyer picked Washington State, a victorover Western at the Western Invitational March 10, as the team to beat. SPC and UPS may give strongchallenges, he said. He is optimistic at the Vikings' chances to retain the cup. "We've been doing someswitching around, and I think we're stronger," Beyer said. "Our boat has improved substantially the lasttwo weeks. "Our performance last week wasn't disappointing at all, and against very toughcompetition, (the Opening Day Race in Seattle)," he said. The race will be over a 2000-meter courseafter one year as a three-mile race. 2000 meters (approximately 1.5 miles) is the traditional sprintdistance, and is the length of Olympic and other international competition courses. Western's juniorvarsity and freshman crews will row against the larger schools as well as the small colleges. The team is now raising funds to help defray the cost of traveling to Berkeley, California for the Western Sprints May14-15. Racquet team to defend Evco title; Eagles favored by ANGELO BRUSCA S Western's men'stennis team sharpened up for Conference play Monday by edging Green River Community College, 5-4.The win over Green River marked the Vikings' last dual match of the season as they travel to Cheney totake part in the Evergreen Conference tennis championships this week â€” end. Providing singlematch wins Monday were Steve Chronister, 7-5, 3-6, 7-5; Gary Stansifer, 6-3, 6-4; and Tim Carlander, 6-4, 6-2. In doubles, the teams of Stansifer-Darwin Menke and Carlander-Charley Black came up withcrucial wins. The Vikings are the defending 1975 Evergreen Conference champions and return withhopes of repeating their performance. Returning from last year's team are Chronister, Jeff Mc- Kinstry,Stansifer and Menke with newcomers Black and Carlander rounding out the six men who will travel toCheney this year. Coach Don Wiseman is optimistic of his teams chances. "We have the talent andthe experience to repeat," he said. "If we hold together we could finish first or second." The netmen have been plagued by inconsistent tennis this year in compiling a 9-6 record which includes two closelosses to Central and a lopsided 8-1 loss to Eastern, the 1976 conference favorite. Coach Wisemanremarked, "At conference it is winner-take- all. Those losses were important, but they won't mean athing if we win this weekend." After the conference championship, the Viks will take part in theDistrict I match hosted by Whitworth College May 14, 15, and 16 in Spokane. downtown BeMngham111E. Magnolia wmmmm â€¢ Misc. for sale.

The purpose of the meeting is to celebrate the Bicentennial in a meaningful way, designfuture responsibilities and work on community reformation, the promoters said. The meeting will bringtogether a cross-section of the community, eighth grade and up, and will help against cynicism andapathy, promoter Dave Thomas, a former Western teacher said. "It's an attempt to recapture communityspirit," he said. Mayor Ken Hertz will welcome everyone at 9:30 a.m. About 600 people are expected toattend. At 10 a.m. the meeting will break up into small groups to brainstorm concerns and issues.Everyone will get to speak and work simul-tarieously all day, Thomas said. These groups will come upwith one "challenge sentence" for every 10 people. Problems will deal with things that people might writeletters to the editor of their paper about, such as neighborhood problems, visiting Canadians andstudent participation in the community, he said. Then the groups will break for lunch and singing.Workgroups get together again after lunch to come up with proposals to their challenges. At the end ofthe day everyone will have a booklet to take home containing all the challenges and proposals, songsthat were sung and the names of everyone who was there. The Institute of Cultural Affairs in Chicagodesigned the workshop portion of the meeting. The town meetings are endorsed by the AmericanRevolution Bicentennial Committee and there will be 5,000 meetings all over the country. Although thereis no new organization after the meeting and no planned follow-up, the proposals can then be taken to the city government, student government, city council meetings, congressmen or Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. Three city councilmen attended the meeting in Vancouver, Wash., and took action on those issuesbefore the city council, Thomas said. "This is more cultural, not political, as compared to the Goals forBellingham," Thomas said. "It's a fun day to develop a cultural explosion of ideas." The Goals forBellingham are long-range proposals, whereas the Town Meeting is lots of ideas, some of which may beimplemented, some not, he added. After the meetings, people always say, "It brought us together," thepromoters said. Tickets can be bought at the door for $1, which includes entertainment, donuts andcoffee at 9 a.m. and lunch at noon. Western Front FRIDAY, MAY 14,1976 VOL. 68 NO. 46SJflLSHOLE'S SHIPS AND SHIMMERS â€” Front photographer Dan Lamont caught the evening magic ofShilshole Bay Marina in Seattle. Split closes after election by LOUIE PHILLIPS The recent AssociatedStudents election split the existing power structure and reunited participants but not necessarily ideas.Ricki Bussanich, AS vice president for internal affairs-elect, comes from the present power structure.Bruce Ayers, AS president-elect, does not. Jeff Larsen, former lobbyist for the State College Council and political associate of AS President Steve Barrett, was Bussanich's campaign manager, she said.Ayers had his brother for a campaign manager. Larsen refused to support him early in the generalelection, Ayers said. analysis Ayers, having served on the AS Board of Directors as recreation councilrepresentative, appeared to be the heir apparent for the presidency. However, Stephen McCallister, co-coordinator for the campus WashPIRG effort, entered the race. Barrett had asked him to run forpresident, McCallister said. "Steve (Barrett) was supportive of me through the campaigning," he said.McCallister, however, refuted any party aspect to his campaign. In campaign organization, there weredifferences, too. Bussanich had a staff of eight dedicated workers, she said. Ayers had a looselycoordinated staff of 40 people who worked when they could, he said. Despite their differences, Ayers andBussanich united in the final days of the runoff election to counter the effort of Chas Coleman and JimLazar of the Opposition Party. "We were working against the Opposition Party," Bussanich said in apost-election interview. Ayers explained the coordinated effort as two independent campaigns which saw the value of working together. It was, Ayers and Bussanich agreed, necessitated because of the jointColeman-Lazar campaign technique. In the last days of the runoff, Bussanich's campaign staff printed aflyer with her and Ayer's names on it, she said. "It was two forces working for the same goal," Ayerssaid. "However, I didn't direct Jeff Larsen to do anything." Ayers attributed the higher voter turnout in therunoff, 1,111 as opposed to 1,040 in the general election, to more extensive campaigning. Bussanichagreed. "The second week, people had been contacted two or three times," Ayers said. "We did morecanvassing and talking to the students for the last election," Bussanich said. "We also had more peopleworking on it." New program invites travel by TERM ARNOLD Western students might notice achange in faculty next year. It will not be due to the tenure issue alone, but will come with the newFaculty Exchange Program. The program is a "bilateral exchange of two or more individuals, one ormore from each of two different institutions, agencies, foundations or programs in higher education,"according to a pamphlet received by the faculty. It will offer Western faculty members a chance toteach or do research elsewhere, to experience teaching different students, to meet and work withother faculty and to spend time in new academic and social settings. Sam Kelly of the center for Higher Education, who developed the program into a proposal and helped set up a committee to explorethe idea, said he felt there was considerable interest among the faculty through polls taken and input he received. "The exchange program is a modest beginning for Western and because it is new, it will taketime for us to develop it," Kelly said. Loren Webb, academic vice president, presented the proposal to the state Senate. He will also be involved in filling the program's positions, with help from Western'sFaculty Council. "I think this is a nifty program, a real boom, in that we get something in return â€”investing in the future," he said. Even though the program is termed "a bilateral exchange program,"individual arrangements can be made by faculty members as long as the decision is a unilateralone, in this case Western would help make specific formal arrangements. The program was passed bythe senate and will begin fall quarter. It is designed for up to four quarters with a stipend beginning at$250. AS board ratifies elections; absentee ballots returned The 70 improperly issued absentee ballotshave been returned, and the recent Associated Students elections have been ratified. Presidentialcandidate Chas Coleman mailed the absentee ballots to students at the Center for Urban Studies,Western's Seattle branch. Election Board Chairperson George Robbins gave the ballots to Colemanin violation of the election code. When the code violation was presented to the AS Board of Directors, itinstructed Robbins to recall the ballots. The ballot packet returned intact Tuesday. Included, however, was a letter Coleman wrote to center's students. Inside: The letter included an appeal for votes. Also inthe packet was campaign literature for the Opposition Party, comprised of Coleman and Jim Lazar.Robbins said the campaign literature in the same envelope as the ballots did not amount to campaigning within 25 feet of a polling station, which would be violation of the election code. However, it appears tobe improper campaigning, Robbins said. It is unlikely, he said, that anyone will protest the electionover the absentee issue since the AS board ratified it Wednesday. AS board adviser Kay Burkesuggested a mechanism be established to make it easier for large groups to vote. A new way to playYou don't have to be Super Jock to get in on New Games. The big thing with New Games is creativity,spontaneity and fun.

A three-foot slug glares down from atop a file cabinet at a refrigerator, stove,overstuffed chairs and a pool table partially hidden by a bulletin board. The paper mache slug is theschool mascot of the Bellingham Street Academy located in the. basement of the YMCA in the heart ofdowntown. Here a number of high school students have found an alternative to the sometimes restrictingpublic school system. But in June, it may be all over because of financial pressures. The academy is analternative school open to students between 14 and 20 years old. It is described as "a meeting groundbetween the streets and the public education system." Many of the 27 students now in the academywere high school dropouts; some were juvenile delinquents. They were recommended to the academy by counselors and probation officers. Director Joan Wick, said the academy arose from a local effort inBellingham five years ago. In its first two years, the academy survived by donations, Wick said, and forthe last three years was federally funded. But the grant has a three-year limit, she said, and in June,funding will stop. Wick said the program tried to contract with the school district, but because of legallimitations was unable to do so. "I'm getting more and more pessimistic every day," she said about thefuture of the program. "As far as donations, people are really hesitant; businesses are really conservativewith their money especially with something like this," she said. Wick said the program had a bad namewhen she came to it three years ago. People, she said, would "freak out" and ask why the students inthe academy should have any special advantages. Most of the students who come to the academy,Wick said, read in fairly low levels and many are frustrated with, high school. "They're tired of doing thesame things over and over," she said. The first thing the academy helps a student to improve is selfimage. Wick said many students have the idea that dropouts are losers. The academy instills positiveattitudes by listening to and encouraging its students. This is an easier task than in a public schoolbecause the ratio of teachers to students is never more than 1:8. The academy, she said, teaches things that are relevant to the students. In addition to the regular reading, writing and arithmetic, studentslearn what they want to learn, such as developing job skills, getting a job and applying for food stamps.The school also has a garden plot on Forest Street. The classes are unstructured. "If it's a nice day, and no one wants to sit in our windowless basement here, we may take off and go to the beach or canoeing.I believe a student can learn just as much at the beach as in a regular classroom," Wick said. Studentsare also involved in curriculum decisions and upkeep of the school. The school is open five days a week.Each student must take at least three classes. Drugs are prohibited and knives are surrendered beforeclass and retrieved afterwards. Through an agreement with the school system, students can get theirhigh school diplomas through the academy. Most of the students are from low income families, Wicksaid, and no fees are paid by the students. Wick feels the program is successful with most of itsstudents. Climbers should know ropes Two Western students have lost their lives while rock climbingin the last three months. According to Doug Rich, who teaches a mountaineering class at FairhavenCollege, "The sport is not that hazardous, but a climber has got to want to be safe before precautionsare going to do any good. Rock climbing is a sport strongly connected to a person's ego andexhilaration and freedom." Rich stressed the fact that rock climbing safely is largely Â« matter of aperson's state of mind. "Most climbing accidents are' caused by mistakes in judgment and lack ofexperience and knowledge," said Rich. Potential rock climbers are urged by Rich to look for a wellorganized class taught by competent instructors through the Whatcom County Parks and RecreationDepartment, Recreation Equipment Inc. in Seattle, the Tacoma Search and Rescue Unit or BobKeller and Rich at Fairhaven.

Contract bids for the job were opened today, according to Allen McHenry, local maintenancesuperintendent for the State Department of Highways. Ten days after a contract is awarded, work on theroad must begin. Once work has started, the project must be completed within 60 days, McHenry said.However, if today's bids are all above the department's estimate for the project, bids must be re-opened.The road washed out when an accumulation of water-saturated and lubricated clay under it slid, according to McHenry. Project Engineer John Hayes said the initial length of the break was 100-150 feet along theoutside of the road. One lane of the road was left open for two days, but fear of further sliding promptedcomplete closure January 29, according to the department log book. In a preliminary project, a contractor removed heavy material from the hole to prevent slippage onto the railroad tracks below. This clearingdoubled the size of the break. Repairs to the road will include blasting rocks from the hill above, clearingmore loose soil from the hole and building a specially designed concrete retaining wall, McHenry said.The hole will be filled with gravel to permit water runoff, then the road will be resurfaced. Restaurantowners along the drive have been complaining about the loss of business due to the road closure. TomLee, owner of the Oyster Bar, said he is losing late-night transient trade. Forty per cent of therestaurant's business comes from transients and tourists, R. N. Steele, owner of the Rock Point OysterCompany estimated. Loss of this business has resulted in a cut in half of his retail sales to thosebusinesses. Steele said the road closure has hurt the Oyster Creek Inn the most because it does nottake reservations or sell liquor like the others do. The restaurants "won't go broke," he said, "but they willcertainly lose profit." Steele said he isn't worried about his business because what he loses in retailsales he will make up in wholesale sales. Lee charged the state has "bungled the project." He said thepreliminary contractor "was obviously paid by the truckload. They dug and dug and opened a 20 foot slideinto a 300 foot hole." He said the hole can't be filled with gravel because it would weigh too much andslide down into the bay. "It's not that big a job," Lee said. "I could put it back together if you give me awheel barrow and some dirt." He said, "The highway department keeps giving us dates when work willbegin. The calendar goes by and nothing happens." Engineer Hayes defended the state's handling of theproject, saying "I really feel that we went as fast as we could." He said project engineers were taken tothe site within a week of final closure. Soils-people had to drill to find a solid foundation an the bridgedepartment had to design the retaining wall. The bridge department had planned to have a designcompleted by June, but finished in April. The extensive digging at the site was to remove all the loosematerial that was tending to slip, thus preventing further damage, Hayes said in respose to the bunglingcharge. The road may be closed to thru traffic but the businesses are still open to serve the public.WashPIRG drafts new plan by SCOTT FAGERSTROM WashPIRG is not washed-up yet. In a last effortto see the public interest research group (PIRG) become a reality at Western this year, students forWashPIRG have drafted a new funding proposal. Payment of the $2 fee for WashPIRG would not be arequirement for registration under the new proposal. The original proposal required students to pay the$2 fee to attend Western, permitting them to receive a refund later if they chose not to supportWashPIRG. The extra $2 will still be billed to all students at registration, but a notice on the bill wouldinform students that the WashPIRG fee is not mandatory. The board of Trustees supported the concept of a WashPIRG at Western last March, but questioned the legality of requiring students to pay for theorganization, even if they could receive a refund later. A request was made to Slade Gorton, stateAttorney General, in March for his opinion on the funding issue. Steve McAllister and Ann Shiras,WashPIRG coordinators, said July is the earliest an answer can be expected from Gorton. Shiras said itis important to get some action before spring quarter is over. In 1972, a move to create a WashPIRG oncampus fell through when no action was taken by the attorney general during the school year. Shiraasaid she hopes the new proposal will clear up any legal question, making the attorney general's opinionunnecessary. "We feel we have answered the legal questions," Shiras said. "If the administration comes up with new questions, we will wonder if it isn't an attempt to kill our proposal." The new proposal is "anattempt to meet every stated demand without damaging the program's integrity," she added. In ameeting Monday with PIRG members, Ritajean Butterworth, Board of Trustees me- i-ber, said she is"comfortable" with the new proposal, but said Western's Asst. Attorney General Steve Jamieson will stillbe asked to give his opinion before the trustees act. We're hoping (Jamieson) will give a strictly legaldecision, and give it as soon as possible," Shiras said. "But it would be easy for him to give a 'political'decision." College President Paul Olscamp has said he recommends a check-off system iir fundingWashPIRG, giving students who support the group a chance to volunteer $2 during registration. "We'veconstantly said we can't go to -the check-off system," Shiras said. "New students who didn't know whatWashPIRG was wouldn't be able to make an informed decision. Petitions supporting WashPIRG weresigned by over half the student body fall quarter, funded by a mandatory $2 fee at registration, whichcould be refunded later. PIRG is a student lobbying and information gathering service dealing withenvironmental and consumer affairs, or other interests expressed by students. Initiated by Ralph Nader several years ago, PIRGs hove been created in 23 states. AS workshop trimmed, expanded A proposed in-service workshop for Associated Students Board of Directors and council members has beenscrapped. In its place will be a one-day organizational orientation to be held May 22, AS PresidentSteve Barrett said Wednesday. Barrett had projected the weekend workshop cost at between $700and $1,000. The orientation session "will have no significant cost," he said. Hunter Nickell, graduateintern in the Viking Union administration, formally proposed the workshop April 21. Since then,there has not been enough time or people working out the details, Barrett said. There also was amisunderstanding within the organization as to who would participate in the workshop, he said.The AS board approved the workshop in concept at its April 7 meeting. Barrett interpreted the board'sin-concept approval of a training weekend to mean a orientation session. Bruce Ayers, ASpresidentelect, said he has been communicating with Nickell about the change in plans. Ayers said the new proposal would likely be more acceptable to persons within the Associated Students and the student population. Instead of isolating the AS board and council members from the student body, asNickell proposed for the workshop, Ayers suggested all students should be invited to attend theorientation session.

Prediction #1: President Ford will get the Republican nomination on the second ballot,pick as his running mate Senator Edward Brooke (R-Mass.) and will lose the general election in aproportion approximating Nixon's 72 win. Prediction #2: Jimmy Carter will get the Democratic nominationon the first ballot, pick as his running mate Senator Ted Kennedy (D-Mass) and win the general electionby the above-mentioned proportion. Prediction #3: Carter will be assassinated by a 32-year-oldW.A.S.P. who will claim God showed him the necessity of removing this "false prophet" from His chosensociety. Prediction #4: this commentary will get almost no reader response. The following are myreasons for predictions 1 thru 4, in numerical order. Prediction #1: Reagan will draw enough OuttoLuncIr delegates to force second ballot brokering, causing Ford to choose Brooke (who is black but inoffensiveto the republican right) giving him a coalition of the left and center and thus the nomination. Ford wiil lose the election because of bis long standing ties to Washington, D.C. and Carter's mastery of the "MediaCampaign." Prediction #2: Carter will pick Kennedy to draw support from the party left, capitalize onwhatever is left of the Kennedy charisma and the choice will fit well with Carter's media image of thecompetent, confident and forgiving Christian. Carter will win the election because he has virtually no tiesto Washington, D.C. and because he has the organization to run the definitive media campaign(something Ford sorely lacks). Prediction #3: Because that's what's happening, folks. Revolting as itis. Prediction #4: Because that's what's happening folks. Revolting as it is. by DAN SMITH Of coursewe've all heard of "Jaws," the movie about a killer shark (not the loan variety) loose off Long Island. Now,in case you haven't heard, there's a movie called "Grizzly" which is about "18 feet of gut crunching ...terror" loose in a national park. We understand they were thinking of calling it "Claws," but thought that was too gauche. Anyone familiar with the fifties will know this is not really a new trend. During thathappy decade movies were made about giant ants, mantids, grasshoppers, spiders, scorpions, crabs,caterpillars, shrews, apes, leeches, amoebae, several species of reptile and numerous creatures notyet classified by modern science. There was even one about deadly rocks (that's right, those cute littlepets). And who could ever forget James Arness' film debut as a giant carnivorous vegetable, try thoughwe might? No wonder there were no ecologists or environmentalists in those days. After your gardenhad been plowed up by giant moles, your family eaten by giant fleas and your house shat upon by a giant seagull, you were hardly in any mood to listen to them. In the sixties, as we turned inward so did ourhorrors. Movies in this vein during the sixties tended to be about supernatural phenomena or variousvarieties of madmen and women. Oh, for the good old days when you could see a giant lizard a mileaway, run for your life and call out the Marines. Now ... well, what does that mailman really carry in hissack anyway? And how about that little lady next door; the one with all the cats and that funny laugh?Fortunately, we have turned back to natural phenomena. After some half-hearted efforts at giant rabbits,plagues of toads and killer bees someone finally combined fifties' fantasies and sixties' realism to give usJaws and Claws. It is our contention though that the film industry has only scratched the surface of our fears, so we would like to make a few modest proposals. "MAWS": When you least expect it, whenyou're having the most fun, they strike! With a fierce growl, "Come in to supper" or "Do your homework."They are always watching, waiting for the smallest slip to attack. There's no escaping and one daythey will smother us all! "PAWS": A sequel to MAWS. "Just wait till your PAWS gets home!" "LAWS":They're out there, invisible, wherever we go! Often without warning, they swoop down to carry us away!Some are never seen again. There are so many of them you never know when the least little thing willbring the LAWS to throw a book at you! "FLAWS": A car is in the prime of life. Suddenly; BANG, a flattire! And they're getting closer! The light blows. The phone goes dead. One day they get you. Your teethyellow, your body emits odor. You need Geritol. You offend! "CLAUS": The red menace' He creeps down your chimney at night! He knows when you're sleeping! He knows when you're awake! He knows if you've been bad or good! He leaves toys without batteries!

Wilson TM letter wrong on numerous accounts Editor, WesternFront: Gord Wilson's letter on May 4 regarding the Transcendental Meditation technique containedmisinformation which needs to be corrected. It was alleged that the TM technique induces suicide, butin fact, the overwhelming experience of meditators is that life improves. The Northridge DevelopmentalScale, a standard psychological assay, was used in one study to assess changes in psychology after two months of practicing the TM technique. Compared to a control group, there was a significantdecrease in depression and neuroticism (Ferguson and Gowan, California State University atNorthridge, 1974), Studies by Denson and Wallace ("Proceedings of the International Conference on Drug Abuse," Philidelphia, 1972) show that those practicing the TM technique decrease their use ofalcohol and cigarettes. Shaffi, Lavely and Jaffe ("American Journal of Psychiatry," Jan. 1974) reportthat those practicing TM significantly decrease their use of non-prescribed drugs. The lettersuggested that the TM technique causes angry moods and heart attacks, whereas substantial research reports' findings are to the contrary. Seeman Nidich and Bantastet, using the Personal entationInventory psychological test, found those practicing TM had increased acceptance of self, increasedspontaneity and increased capacity for intimate contact when compared with a matched control group ("Journal of Counseling Psychiatry," vol. 19, no. 3, 1974). This study has been replicated several timesand is only one of dozens that has been published. No one could seriously suggest that TM causesheart attacks, because studies have shown the technique lowers the blook pressure of patients withhigh blood pressure (Benson and Wallace "Circulation," vol 45 and 46, Oct. 1972) and is now being used to treat potential heart attack victims. A booklet listing more studies is available at lectures on theT.M. program and at the local facility for teaching the T.M. technique. The contention that Mahari-shi'sprincipal business is making money is very much in error. The instruction fee, which entitles thestudent to a lifetime of services, such as personal checking of the meditation by a trained teacher, ispaid to the Students' International Meditation Society, which is a non-profit organization audited bythe IRS. The ceremony at the time of instruction is a ceremony of gratitude to the tradition of teachersof the T.M. technique, including Maharishi's teacher, who was named Guru Dev. The ceremony isperformed by and for the teacher and the student is an uninvolved witness to it. In our society allimportant events with a ceremony and instruction in the T.M. technique is no different. The practicedoes not require a chance in belief or lifestyle and cannot be considered a religion. Finally, regardingMaharishi's familiarity with science, he holds a degree in physics from Allabad University. Thepresentations made by teachers of the T.M. program are based on the teachers' experience in teachingthe practice to many people and the scientific research that has been done on the effects of thepractice. Everyone is free to formulate an opinion of the technique based on their experiences, but letus not propagate misinformation. Kim Smith Chemistry Audibility demands leveled at ProgramCommission Editor, Western Front: This letter is intended to admonish the responsible members of the Program Commission who allow the public address systems used in the concerts here, to be in the hands of such feeble minded idiots. I am speaking in direct reference to the John Lee Hooker/Sunnyland Slim concert May 8, 1975. (I could cite other occasions such as forgetting to mike thepiano at the McKoy Tyner concert but this will stand for now.) It was embarrassing the way the audience had to audibly complain that the Sunny-land Slim piano could not be heard at all. The members ofthe John Lee Hooker band had to stop the show several times and ask those punks to turn up themonitor because they couldn't even hear themselves. As a paying member of the audience I feel rippedoff by the Program Commission for allowing the P.A. to be run by incapable people. And I demandthese persons be replaced by someone who knows what he is doing. Kurt Dottanson Technology ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 14 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, May 14,1976 Western Front 5 Prof defends controversial Fair haven class QUESTION: "AGROUP AT FAIRHAVEN COLLEGE, SPRING 1976, MAY STUDY THE SUBJECT OF LOVINGONESELF." "To thousands of men and women it is the biggest personal problem of their lives."WeatherheadThe Mastery of Sex., p. 122 "No other form of sexual activity has been more frequentlydiscussed, more roundly condemned and more universally practiced." Encyclopedia of SexualBehavior, p. 204 Before beginning my justification of the self-love study at Fairhaven, let me provide a few facts. We are not debating about a customary class or course. The study group is not a formal part ofFairhaven's curriculum and it does not satisfy our General Education Requirements. Instead, this is aninformal group of persons who decided to discuss and explore a topic of common interest. KennethFreeman, a member of the faculty, first proposed the topic; he will assign credits if the study provessuccessful. Sixteen students began the quarter, including three members of the Bridge Project, and 14are still in the group. Their ages range from 19 to 67. The study has been reviewed by a Fairhavencommittee in conformity with usual procedure. It has been thoughtfully criticized by a faculty member,Doug Lummis. Freeman responded to Lummis and provided a public explanation of his own rationale forthe study. TWO ISSUES There are two legitimate issues if one questions whether such a study shouldoccupy the time of persons on a college campus: (1) can competent and careful learning occur? (2) isthe information worth knowing? I will answer both of these questions in the affirmative and then pose afurther consideration: Why is there such strong emotional reaction against the study, on the campus and off. WHO TEACHES WHAT? Part of the concern over the self-love study rests on the assumption thatFreeman is untrained in the field, a concern which some persons have about many classes at Fairhaven. This assumption rests upon another assumption that faculty should teach only those subjects for whichthey have been formally trained and were hired to teach. This normally means teaching in the areas ofone's M.A. and Ph.D. Ken Freeman has a Ph.D. in Philosophy (1964). Since then, through formaltraining, workshops, professional relationships, private study and personal experience, he has studiedhumanistic psychology, educational theory, mind-body analysis and the nature of human emotions. Inthis growth, he conforms to Fairhaven College's expectation of faculty. Beyond the immediate questionof Freeman's credentials to teach, there is precedence for teaching outside of one's recognized training.St. John's College, which has a strict classical curriculum, requires faculty members to teach in areascompletely outside their formal training. The assumption at St. John's and at Fairhaven is that professorsshould develop new interests and skills, that they not allow the terminal degree to terminate theirlearning, and that faculty not settle down to teach the same subject until they retire. Since 1967, most of Fairhaven's faculty have experimented in areas beyond their formal training and have sought to acquirenew skills in teaching. In some cases we have been successful, and in other case" unsuccessful. I amtrained in history but i teach adequate courses about death and about the initiative process. David Mason (biology) produces Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and this fall taught a course on Bertolt Brecht. GaryClevidence (anthropology) teaches sailing and the natural history of birds. Beverly Malmstad (music)innovates in women's studies and group creative process. Bill Heid (psychology) studies Marxist socialhistory and has conducted an examination of an urban watershed. Kathy Anderson (communications)inspired a field study in Washington, D.C. Mike Burnett (American literature) offers classes on Mexican culture and world history. Don McLeod (literature) recently taught a course on the Spanish Civil War. All of these classes, in my opinion, easily met traditional standards and many are now part of ourcurriculum. On the other hand, Fairhaven faculty have produced some duds. A film workshop (Burnett), a history of rock and roll (Clevidence), photography (Mason), a study of suicide (Malmstad), meditation(Freeman), Chinese-American life (Heid), a class on drug abuse and a class on political extremism(Keller) failed, and either went back to the drawing board or into the trash can. In summary, we haveample evidence to establish the seriousness, commitment and competency of Freeman's instruction about self-love. We can justify the practice of faculty exploration beyond the Ph.D. To insist that weconfine ourselves to studying only those areas of original Itraining, to demand that teachers avoideducation risks, is to deny the excitement of learning and to reject one of the functions of theAcademy. EDUCATIONAL LEGITIMACY There are, of course, matters which may be competentlytaught and nevertheless not be worth learning at college (e.g. toe-nail cutting). Auto-erotism, on thecontrary, is a subject of great curiosity and interest. It is a welL-nigh universal practice, which in itselfproves little (toe-nail cutting may be universal too). However, narcissism is a practice generallyacknowledged by psychology, sociology and anthropology as important to individuals and to society. Italso emerges in literature. The treatment of autoerotism through history is important to ourunderstandings of how contemporary opinions influence the transmission of the past, of how fallacies and sexist biases are promulgated, and of how sexuality conditions religion and mythology. These factorsbegin to establish the subject as worthy of inquiry. There then emerge almost endless academicproblems. I shall list a dozen or so: QUESTIONS â€”What is the nature and function of pleasure andlove in society? In personal experience? â€”What is the relation of ecstacy to pain? â€”How do body andmind, emotion and reason, influence each other? â€”What is the relationship between (1) biologicaldrives, needs, gratifications, and (2) inhibition, restraint, control, sin? â€”How do the emotions of guilt,shame and disgust influence our self-esteem and self-confidence? â€”What is the difference between self-love and selfishness? What is the meaning of narcissistic myths? â€”What are the bio-chemicaland neurological mechanisms of orgasm? â€”Do other species engage in auto-erotism? (In fact, they do. Apes, monkeys and chimpanzees practice self-stimulation. So do cats, porcupines, elephants, red deer, dogs and dolphins. What can this mean?) â€”What are the origins of and reasons for our belief that"self-abuse" causes insanity and impotence? Why have we practiced rigorous censorshipconcerning it? How does our culture compare with other cultures? â€”What are the biblical andecclesiastical influences on our cultures? Why, for example, has the Church been concerned about"involuntary nocturnal pollution" by priests and monks? â€”Is it true, as Nietzsche claimed, that newreligions always begin with solitude, fasting, and sexual denial? â€”What age levels practice auto-erotism most often? â€”How do we know all this stuff, anyhow? That is an especially interesting question because for 150 years after Tissot wrote his treatise Onana, our most confident medical and scientificopinions had no empirical basis whatsoever. If something is worth knowing and raises so manyintellectual questions, it is likely that the subject already has been the object of careful investigation,thereby providing scholarly and historical information in reputable publications. This is certainly the caseregarding auto-erotism. The topic is not esoteric. A cursory use of standard bibliographic techniques inWilson Library quickly produced a diverse and substantial body of literature. Human Relations Area Files Category No. 339 contains research on auto-erotism in 150 different cultures. An example of recentscholarship is a collection of 19 papers (LSU Medical School) on the relationship between culture, auto-erotism and human development (Marcus and Francis, eds., Masturbation: From Infancy to Senescence, International Universities Press, 1975, 502 pp.).

THE NATURE OF TABOO If weaccept my contentions that professors should at times teach subjects beyond their formal training, andthat auto-erotism is a legitimate subject for scholarly inquiry, why, one may ask, has there been angerabout "intellectual sludge" at Fairhaven? Perhaps this is a typical reaction when one is openlyconfronted with a social taboo? Taboos, often associated with the vital life processes (birth, death,reproduction, eating, elimination) evoke responses of shame, embarrassment, anger and fear.,Tospeak openly about such taboos as bowel movements or death is considered unseemly, poor manners at the dinner table and embarrassing (G. Gorer, "The Pornography of Death." We often mask ourunease with slang, euphemisms, and "dirty" words, or with humor and puns. From my childhood I recalljokes about a popular song entitled "The Old Master Painter From the Far Away Hills." Phillip Rothhumorously capitalizes on the auto-erotic study in Portnoy's Compaint, as does Tom Lehrer when hesings "The Vatican Rag." Freeman's group study outrages some because masturbation is taboo. Puns by the ton ensue. ROLE OF THE UNIVERSITY But avoidance of subjects which involve shame,suffering, confusion and fear is no joke. Superstition about self-stimulation probably has harmedmultitudes of people in western civilization. In our time, we have at last begun to resist censorship andto destroy unfounded myths about "the solitary vice." "The modern attitude (toward auto-erotism) is not asudden change, but rather the result of a long struggle to throw off the shackles of ignorance and to viewthe phenomenon in the light of reason" (Encyclopedia of Sexual Behavior, p. 205). That, it seems tome, is one of the major ideals of a university. Robert H. Keller Faculty, Fairhaven College ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 14 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Friday, May 14,1976 Retiree reflects on years past BILLSAYRE by BOB CRISPWestern has changed greatly over the past 10 years, according to Bill Sodt, Lutheran campus minister.Sodt, who watched the college grow from 5,000 to a large "almost" university, will retire in June after 32years in the ministry. "When I first came here it was a very different atmosphere," he said. "Women hadto wear skirts to the dining hall and men had to wear a sport shirt of some kind." Many people thought of Western as a middle-class school, he added. The campus ministry was much lower key then, he said."We used to have a coffee shop at the old CCM (Campus Christian Ministry) building called The Web;' itwas sort of a forerunner to Mama Sundays. I used to kill myself every Friday and Saturday workingthere," Sodt recalled. There was not a great deal of political action here in 1966, he said, but in 1967 thedrug scene hit Western and "political activism was on the rise." "I remember the first peace march I wasin. I was undecided about whether to march or not," he said, and when he did it stirred quite a reaction."I remember getting calls and letters, all hateful stuff." Grad pursues opportunity Students' rights werealso an issue in the late sixties, Sodt said. "As a campus minister I was caught between students andthe church. I knew at least 15 Lutheran students who would not talk to me because I wore a clericalcollar." With the fall of 1970 came more change. "There were many small radical communities springingup," he said. The spiritual climate was also changing. "The Jesus people hit in '70. There were manyBible studies and meetings on campus." "When Tim Leary came to campus, a lot of people wereuptight. The school administration restricted his speech to students." Sodt said he thought theadministration was worried about community reaction to the appearance. Since then things have quieteddown a lot, he said. Sodt lamented the lack of involvement he sees now. "I see a lot of people from alldifferent directions coming to a self-centered approach to life," he said. "TM, TA, EST, Rev. Sun Moonand the Children of God are all the same; none are outgoing; they all center on fulfilling self-need." Sodtalso sees less political activism. "In the '68 and '72 elections there were masses of students involved.Today it's mostly middle-aged people," he said. "Today you just couldn't get Yes, some college gradsstill get great opportunities. Bill Sayre, a senior in geology, is one. In August, Sayre will go to theUniversity of South Hampton, England, as a research associate and doctoral candidate. If he issuccessful in his job and in his lobbying efforts, he will also get to work on the' Glomar Challenger, aninternationally- staffed research vessel. "It's probably one of the most famous ships in geologicalexploration," Sayre said, adding it is also very plush. The Challenger (owned by the late HowardHughes) collects samples from the Atlantic Ocean basin. Sayres will study these samples in SouthHampton to determine what the ocean floor was like 200 million years ago as it opened up andcontinents formed. This will possibly lead to Ashton sees "To make college boundaries less distinctand establish a free flow of knowledge between the campus and the community" is the main objectiveof the Center for Continuing Education, Alan Ashton, a candidate for directorship of that office said.Ashton, director of the Center for Academic Extension at the University of Massachu- Kelly namedgrad dean Samuel Kelly has been named dean for Graduate Affairs and Research.

Kelly is now a member of the education department and director of the Center for Higher Education. He has served on a number of councils, committees and boards at Western and asa special assistant to the Dean of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. He is currently vice president ofthe Association of Community College Trustees. Kelly, a graduate of Western, received bis PhD ineducation and social science from the University of Chicago in 1965, and then came to Western.setts, Amherst, visited the campus last week and discussed his ideas for the office with faculty andadministrative groups. Ashton said he would like to see existing programs gradually expanded. Hewould explore possitilities for off-campus centers, weekend colleges and degree programs for off-campus students. In order to develop effective programs, Ashton said, "The center must match therework on the ship, gathering his own samples. Sayre learned of the opportunity during springbreak, when he was recommended to the position by Myrl Beck of the geology department, who was inSouth Hampton. He was chosen over one other candidate. He will work on a 2,500 pound (about $5,000) yearly stipend, while studying for a doctorate in paleomag-netism. growth sources of the college withthe needs of the community." As this was his first visit to the Pacific Northwest, he has not had time toevaluate the specific needs of the area, he said. Ashton was the first of five directorship candidates tovisit the campus.

Program Commission ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 14 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Friday, May 14,1976 Rastaman Vibration punching,powerful reggae byRICKDONKERRustamen Vibration, the new album by Bob Marley and the Wailers, is to date the most violent andrevolutionary statement by the Jamacian group. It is also one of his best albums musically and lyrically.Marley has always been the mad man of Trench Town, but he has never been as forcefully expressive ashe is on "Rastaman Vibration." But besides being another statement album it shows us the tightmusical excellence the Wailers have come to be known for is no fable. Uniqueness is a rare thing thesedays, especially in the over-produced kind of disco pseudo-soul music that has been crowding themarket lately. In this respect "Rastaman Vibration" is a true work of art. Not only for the fact it is a realstatement of feeling and music, but it uses the form of music, that in many Jamaican ghetto spawnsmusic revolution byRICKDONKER The development of the blues was a musical and cultural reaction tothe depression, sadness and violence of the time. It spawned a music that has its roots in humanexperience. It was sad music but it was performed to transcend the pain of the time. In West Kingston,Jamacia, there is one of the worst ghettos in the world; it is called Trench Town. Out of Trench Town, asit did in the deep south, a musical and cultural revolution developed that was a reaction to the povertyand oppression of the time. The music is called "reggae" and the implications of this music, as well asits impact on already established music forms (i.e. rock] are just now being realized. Two bands, BobMarley and The Wailers and Toots and the Maytals, practically define reggae music. Their music ishighly syncopated, polyphonic and features searing guitar leads. At first, reggae sounds deceptivelysimple, for it has well defined boundaries. But reggae music completely explores the limits of thoseboundaries. It is a dark, passionate music that speaks of a different culture. It is violent, sexual andcontains many references to "herb," better known as ganja. Ganja is a highly potent form of â€¢marijuana that is deeply inbedded in Trench â€¢ Town reggae. In fact, there was a time when Bob Marley, of TheWailers, smoked ganja daily for nine years. Besides being extremely funky, reggae is also veryrevolutionary music. It is a music that has its origins in Rastafarianism. Both Marley and Toots (FreddieHibbert) are devout believers in Rastafarianism. Basically, what this religion encompasses is a belief inviolence, ganja and the notion that Haile Selassie is the son of, if not God himself. The religion was areaction to the poverty and the oppression in Trench Town. The belief spread and slowly became anorganized revolutionary movement. Perhaps the best example of how reggae music has influenced andaffected the music world is the rate at which other artists are jumping on the reggae bandwagon. EricClapton's version of the Marley legend "I shot the sheriff," is an example of how reggae music has already influenced established stars in the United States. Others who have tried to capture the reggae feelinclude Elton John, Led Zepplin, Stevie Wonder and the Rolling Stones. All have succeeded in variousdegrees to capture the "sound" of reggae, but none of them has been able to capture the "feel" of it. Butthen, few can really capture that feeling, just as few can capture the feeling of the real Mississippi-deltablues. respects, is extremely limited â€” namely reggae. Perhaps the only place where Marley andWailers fail is in the scope of their expression. Especially on "Rastaman Vibration" where Marley seemsobsessed with the violent and revolutionary aspects of reggae. But if it is limited it is also forcefullyupsetting. Marley pulls no punches on this album. The titles of the songs often speak for themselves tothis point. "War," "Rat Race," "Cry to Me" and "Crazy Baldheads" are examples of the kind of contentMarley is putting into his material. Compared to some of his other albums "Burnin," "Catch a Fire," and"Natty Dread" Marley has become less interested in building complex rhythms. His songs are moredirect, less tricky and lyricly more expressive. The I Three's, Marley's backup singers, give his songs anextra punch. They also smooth out and highlight Marley's strong, rough vocals. "Rastaman Vibration" isMarley's statement on reggae. He has used his medium to express a musical and philosophical point ofview that is both fascinating and exciting.

His name is Don Adams. Adams is a staff costumer for WesternTheater â€¢ productions, and has directed a few plays: Appoximately four weeks ago the costume shop, in Miller 65, began preparation for "Oklahoma!" This included long days and nights of work, piecingtogether the costumes from petticoats to bonnets, and more. In any theatre production complicationsarise, and the "Oklahoma!" is no exception. "There is always the pressure of time," said Adams, "butone complication we have been working with is harmonizing and complementing the rented costumes ofour great artists to those we make which the students will wear." Since the costume shop has noprofessional assistance, Adams is responsible for costume production supervision, garment fitting,designing and buying at every end. Faculties are an obstacle for costume production, he said. Notall of the needed supplies are centrally located, and "it is not very productive in the way of time when wehave to run here and about to find the supplies we need. There are rooms across campus that we storeour supplies in. Used costumes are sorted and stored, and rented costumes returned. Some garmentsare re-used in productions similar to those for which they were made. If another production calls forcostumes similar to that of "Oklahoma!", similar in quality and centering on the same period, it eventually will make the job easier for the costume department. "There are many aspects of costuming you mustrealize," said Adams. "The cast is very important. We must make costumes that do not limit thephysical movements of an actor/actress. We must also be precise on the relation of costumesbetween cast members as well as relation to the setting; it is a case of being completely aware of everyaspect of theater production." Summing up the 'behind-the-scenes work,' Adams said, "The work hasbeen very impressive. "Oklahoma!" is a good example of the Western program. The general rapport ofthe company is very good, the cast and everyone involved have behaved in the best professional sense,working very hard, and I expect the show to be a very enjoyable one."

Flicklacks sensitivity, depth by GRAHAM MacDONELL and LIZ VERDDZR Although rape is a serious matter,"Lipstick" suffered from more than a lack of sensitivity in dealing with the victim. Including a lack of depth in production and direction, resulting in the ultimate form of cinematic rape â€” rape at the box office.David Rayfiel's screenplay was just not the vehicle to draw out the sensitivity of the issue or the fullpotential of any of the film's stars. Rayfiel's characterization was so tepid even the exciting young star,Chris Sarandon, who played Al Pacino's homosexual "wife" in "Dog Day Afternoon," came across like awet dishrag. From the stereotype "limp wrist" role in DDA, Sarandon's career is now marred by one ofcontinuous flaccidity. The fault does not lie with the youthful brown-eyed actor but more in the hands ofdirector Lamont Johnson. Johnson seems to have had a hard time drawing out his talent despite theintricate series of sensitivity games he apparently used to loosen up six-foot lead Margaux Hemingway.In her cinematic debut the super tall, super model (Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Time) Hemingway,granddaughter of writer Ernest, may have turned on the rapist, but her acting was as thick as an 11 centstamp. Four week's of drama coaching did not do much for Hemingway, but gave little sister Mariel achance to shine. Although the siblings simultaneously made their debut playing rape victims, Marielshowed the audience beauty does not also beget talent. The climactic point of the film showed that atleast one rape had been committed. Budding young Hemingway emerged bruised, tearful and disheveled, a better attempt at playing a victim than big sis. Model Hemingway remained beautiful through the flick,goaded into a flat rage by the prosecuting attorney (Anne Bancroft). But being called a star and actuallyfulfilling the promise are two different things. Bancroft fulfilled the promise without receiving star billing.She protected the viewers from an otherwise dry courtroom scene with violent objections to personalquestions and attempts to humanize the situation of the rape victim. Box office appeal seems to becatering to the disaster-sexual violence â€” psychobizarre cult of today's film-goer. Unfortunately,"Lipstick" is a 'second' rate portrayal of a very sensitive social issue. In fact, if one tries to draw anycommon ground between the effects of Laur-entiis' and the real thing, there is one. They both leave itsvictim with a bad taste in the mouth.

But this was one of those days when you go, go, go until you're unutterably tired yet very hyped. I needed to unwind so I went downtown for acouple schooners. The beer felt good. Since my resistance to alcohol is low, two schooners did the job.Tthen decided to hit the Horseshoe Cafe on Holly Street for a little to eat and some coffee. So far,nothing new. I mean, what do you expect from Bellingham on a Monday night? Running into a bunch ofGreeks? I ordered some fish'n' chips and settled down to watch the wierd assortment of people whopatronize the Horseshoe. As I scanned the joint I noticed three dark-complexioned men were observingme. I got just a little paranoid. Were they going to mug me when I left, or what? Anyway, I stared rightback. If they were going to freak me out, I would return the favor. This all started around midnight. Near12:30, four more dark-complexioned guys entered and joined the original three. I thought they all wereChicanos, except for one who looked South Pacific. Apparently this was a rendezvous, because they allstarted to leave. My booth was by the front door and directly across from the cashier's desk. The sevenwere jabbering away in what seemed to be Espanol. Yet I could not pick out a single word, even with four years of high school Spanish backing me up (for what that's worth). The three eyed me curiously as they trailed out the door. One of them said something to me and I asked him to "Repitas, por favor." Heshrugged his inability to understand. However, the South Pacific one brightened suddenly: "HablasEspanol?" He also spoke fairly fluent English so we struck a conversation. "Where are you from?" Iasked. "We're on a sheep for petroil. I'm from Indonesia." "What language are your friends speaking? It's all Greek to me." He smiled. "They are Greeks." I learned they all were stationed on an oil tanker at theMobile refinery in Ferndale. The ship was one of the Onassis fleet and was Financial aid gets a refill The United States Congress approved $610 million last week in additional funding for student financialassistance during the coming academic year. The funding means there is now enough money for fullpayment of Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOG) to students, according to Dick Coward,Western financial aid director. If the additional allocation had not been passed, the maximum Amount of assistance students could have received through BEOG would have been lowered, Coward said. BEOG will award a national total of $1.3 billion to students, with the maximum individual award of $14,000.Exotic eats at food fair Want a cheap, delicious meal this weekend? An International Food Fair will beheld Saturday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the Bellingham Mall. Food from all over the worldwill be for sale, ranging from 10 to 85 cents. A variety of food will be featured, such as Aeble-skivers (alight, fluffy ball with a faint flavor of pancakes), Wienerwuerstchen from Ger-may (a long, red, all-vealsausage) served in a Broetchen (European roll), Teriyaki chicken, Danish pastry, Blackbottomcupcakes and a Central American dish called Cerviche (fresh, marinated vegetables and raw fish).traveling under the Liberian flag. They were looking for women (so' what else is new) and a discotheque. I couldn't help in either category, but they had heard Good Time Charlie's would be fun. Would I like tocome along? Actually, I'd had my limit and turned down the offer. "But if you come back to theHorseshoe, I may be here." Our little chat took half an hour, mostly outside. In the meantime, my fish 'n'chips had degenerated into a cool pile of something you might put into a doggie bag. But a hot cup ofcoffee awaited me. Nice . . . It was 1:30 a.m. and I decided it was time to leave. Remember school? Ialmost forgot. Just as I slipped into my coat the Greek gang returned, immediately filling my booth andthe one behind me. The guy I was facing (whom I'll call Joe because I can't remember what in the hell his name was and because it sounded like Joe) shocked me with "How are you?" "Oh, you do speakEnglish." "A little." Joe, I discovered, was the ship's chief steward, in charge of provisions â€” beer,cigarettes and other necessities. He invited me to spend a night on the tanker. Hmmm . . . I had classthe next day, But a profound thought hit me: "Screw class." And so I did. With offers of Greek music,Ouzo, a chance to learn some Greek and to be on a real live ship for the first time in my life, I couldn'tresist. We had to catch a cab to Ferndale and on the way I told my story to the cab driver. Ourconversaton drifted to international politics and then to the presidential nomination race. He. likedJackson. Oh well, so much for politics. All this time, the Greeks talked about God only knows what.Soon, the inspiring, well-lit towers of the Ferndale Mobile refinery loomed ahead. Almost a city's skylinefrom a distance. We paid the fare and walked a short distance to the tanker. And there we were: Onboard the Olympic Rider, a Greek ship under the Liberian flag. Talk about Neapolitan. Some of us wentto Joe's cabin where I was quickly offered the delectable alternative of Scotch or Ouzo. Ouzo tastes likelicorice. I hate licorice. So I drank the Scotch. Joe gave me his headphones and treated me to someSpanish and Greek music. The ship's head cook staggered a few Greek dances for me and cracked afew Greek jokes (I guess) which made me laugh only because he contorted his face. The night's musicwas brought home with a little Fifth Dimension. The Indonesian warned me Greeks like blonde hair. I'mglad he did. Otherwise, I would not have understood why every few minutes my hair was stroked by Joe.Joe and I stayed up a while after everyone else had crashed. He taught me some Greek and showed mesome pictures of his homeland. I got the impression Greece is all beaches. The night in his tiny cubiclewas hot. I had barely fallen asleep in my sweat when it was time to get up. If I had dreamed of a Greekbreakfast I was in trouble. I could hardly stomach the sausage and eggs which literally swam in grease(no pun intended). The mess hall was another story. It literally swam in Greeks who stared at me andtalked to me. I felt like a stupid clod because all I could do was sit there and make funny English sounds. I eventually caught a ride home with a Mobile official. As I left the ship, Joe was helping unload acornucopia of beer and cigarettes. This crew wasn't hurting. As we rode to Bellingham we discussed theGreeks and politics. He liked Jackson. So much for politics. BF The Program Commission is stillaccepting applications for the following positions: (to become effective fall quarter 76) Mama Sunday'sDirector Asst. P.C.

He has other duties â€” like washing dishes in the college cafeteria. That's the situation at New Hampshire's Franconia College, where the president does kitchen work aspart of a student-faculty takeover of college operations to cut costs. The venture, called the "RadicalAdministrative Reorganization," put students and faculty in control of the college's food service, library, bookstore, accounting and bookkeeping duties, grounds and building maintenance and recruitmentand development. And it's working, according to Franconia Public Relations Director Mark West in aletter he sent to the Front earlier this month. West said the liberal arts college, 265 enrollment, hasreduced its administrative staff by 40 per cent since the takeover began last September. He said tuitionand room and board fees have dropped nearly 10 per cent. But more importantly, West said, theoperation is breaking through the traditional class system of administrators on top, faculty in themiddle and students at the bottom. He said under the new method these former-distinct classes arebeing fused together, with members of each group sharing the experience of the other groups. As anexample, West said the college cafeteria, previously run by a private contractor, is now operated by a"kitchen collective" of students, faculty and administrators. West admitted there are problems. He saidsome faculty consider it below them to wash dishes. "What this indicates," he said, "is that studentsare not the only people who have learning to do while at Franconia." The school's President, IraGoldenberg, reported student reaction to both lower fees and participation in the college's operation"has been unanimously favorable,!' according to West. West said Goldenberg characterized Franconia as an "alternative" college fighting the process of rising fees which are excluding prospective studentsfrom a college education. The takeover, West said, has given students and faculty real control over thecollege. Gorton bikes to promote route If the warm weather and clear trails beckon, here's a chance towheel along with a V.I.P. State Attorney General Slade Gorton hits the road in Blaine this morning tobicycle down the coast, passing through Bellingham and staying tonight at Larrabee State Park. He'smaking a two-part demonstration ride to promote the proposed Pacific Coast Bicycle Route, which will stretch from Canada to Mexico. Under the U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, committees in Califor-iia and Oregon are preparing their share of the route and Gorton wants to boost interest in Washington.All bicyclists are encouraged to join in at any part of the route. Gorton started the first leg of the 349-mile trip leaving the Peace Arch in Blaine and will cycle into Bellingham. Joining cyclists are invited butmust make their own arrangements. Camping overnight is 25 cents. Tomorrow the ride continues downChuckanut, to Anacortes and over Deception Pass. The route runs the backroads of Whidbey Island and down to Port Townsend, with an overnight stop at Fort Worden State Park. Sunday the route isthrough Hood Canal to Lake Sylvia State Park in Hoodsport. Gorton plans to pick up the route in Juneand continue 181 miles to Astoria. Gorton, a longtime bicyclist, has ridden cross-country with hisfamily. He was on the committee in the State Department of the Interior which planned the route, andis a member of the Northwest Bicycle Touring Society. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ â€¢ Â» ' JOHN HAWKES A Public Readirg from his works Friday, May H cV30pm Lecture Hall 2Western Washington State College Fro^otiicd hv the University Honors Pro-am Lr dv nspartmenc ofCaeneral 3cu4ies ---------- Western Front - 1976 May 14 - Page 14 ---------- 14 Western Front Friday, May 14,1976 orts PE building planned GOTCHA â€” Scissor beats Paper, soPaper better run as New Gamers play Rock, Paper, Scissors Augmented, a team variation of the regulargames. How about a new way toplay? by BART POTTER "Here's a rope and a stick. Make a newgame." The New Games Foundation was begun by Stewart Brand, creator of the "soft war" theory ofplay and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog. He staged the first New Games tournament in San Francisco in October 1973. New Games is dedicated to teaching the joys of physical activity for the sake ofparticipation, not competition. "There are too many spectators sitting in stadiums or sitting in front of the TV with a six pack," Brad Dubbs, organizer of a local New Games tournament said. "Let them bring thesix pack down and get into playing themselves." New Games are designed to let everyone, .regardlessof age, sex or skill, play in games suited to their own needs, Dubbs said. Dubbs recalled his high schoolfootball days, when he felt sorry for those players who were not skilled enough to play regularly. "Thereis no second-string in New Games," he said. Flexibility is the by-word of New Games. Old, traditionalgames are fair game for revision, and the pooling of fertile imaginations can devise endless varieties ofnew games. "It's great when people come together to create," Dubbs said. Yogi tag, infinity volleyballand baseball with no third base are just a few New Games. Rules may be changed any time byagreement of participants to make games safer, more fun, or fairer. For example, if adults and childrenare playing, the adults might play on their knees to even things up. New Games is not just a list ofgames, Dubbs said, it's an attitude. It is a unique way to express oneself and interact with people in thespirit of play. And winning is not the ultimate goal of New Games, as it is in many traditional competitivesports. "People shouldn't feel imposed upon to win all the time," Dubbs said. "I've had jocks, who werereally into very competitive sports, come to me and say what they were doing was really good, butsomething was missing. "What was missing was spontaneity and creativity," he said. "I come away from playing New Games and I feel like I've tested the limits of my creativity, and I feel closer to people." New Games have been wrongly labeled as passive and non-aggressive by some people, Dubbs said. YogiTag, for example, requires speed, agility, wits and breath control. And any game may be altered to bemore competitive if a consensus of participants is reached. Dubbs invites students and all members ofthe community to take part in the Blossomtime New Games Tournament and Bicentennial PicnicSunday at Bloedel-Donovan Park beginning at 1 p.m. The purpose of the tournament is to spread theconcept of New Games, get students, families and senior citizens together, and to "have fun andcelebrate spring," Dubbs said. As added attractions, there will be jugglers, belly dancers, ethnic folkdancers, kitemakers and a community mural for drawing. In keeping with the Bicentennial theme, Dubbsurges people to bring games that were played in the early years of Bellingham. There will be a looseschedule of New Games events, and if "energy dissipates and heads another direction, we'll let it," Dubbs said. He encourages people to bring picnic lunches and ' spend the whole day doing anything they feellike. Dubbs said, "You can rap about the philosophy of New Games for hours, but to really understand it you have to get out and do it."

The building would house a swimming pool,additional handball and racketball courts, and classrooms for P.E. and recreation classes. HarrySkinner of Facilities Development said two sites for the building are being considered: south of theSecurity Building, and an addition to the south face of Carver Gym where the tennis courts are nowlocated. The original proposal submitted several years ago called for the construction of a field-housesouth of the Security Building. It would have required the closure of 21st Street. Planners have sincehad misgivings about placing the building so far from main campus, and the favored site nowappears to be the addition to Carver Gym. But both locations are still being considered. If the buildingwere added on to Carver Gym, there probably would not be a second pool built, the representative ofCollege Planning said. Rumored plans to place Astroturf and grandstands on the practice football field are low priority items and "nothing active is being done about it," the College Planning representativesaid. The budget request for the building will be considered simultaneously by the Business andFinance Committee and the Academic Coordinating Committee. From there the proposal will pass tothe Senate, and College President Paul Olscamp for approval before being placed on the agenda for theJune meeting of the Board of Trustees. The deadline for submitting the proposal to the Office ofProgram Planning and Fiscal Management in Olympia, which determines budgets for colleges in thestate, is August. The present funding request is for planning only. Requests for funds for the actualconstruction of the building will go through the same channels after plans have been approved. ' Itwill be at least a year and a half before construction of the building^can begin, the representative said.

The crowd lining the roadcranes their necks to see a lone bicyclist struggling up Lakeway Drive from Lake Whatcom. He hasridden 25 tortuous miles from Everson in a little over an hour. With a last ounce of endurance he racesinto Whatcom Falls Park, handing his baton to a teammate, who dashes off on his five mile run toLake Padden. The scene will be repeated many times during Bellingham's fourth annual Ski to Sea Race on. Sunday, May 23. "Having fun" will be the top priority of the race, which is limited to amateurathletes, according to Don Gregory, publicity chairman for the race. A primary reason for the race is to show what Whatcom County has to offer in recreational activities. The relay race, running from theslopes of Mt. Baker to Lake Padden, will include skiing, boating, hiking and running. Teams have untilMay 21 to enter the race. Entry blanks can be obtained from the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce.The cost is $30 per team (sponsor fee) and five dollars for each team member. The ski leg of the racewill - VEffSo* consist of a two mile giant slalom on Mt. Baker, beginning at 9 a.m. The boating race,divided into kayaking and canoeing, will begin an hour later at the Highway 9 bridge over the NooksackRiver. When they reach the Everson bridge, 12 miles downstream, their teammates on bikes will begin that leg of the race. Bikers will travel a winding course through central Whatcom County, ending 25miles away at Whatcom Falls Park. Runners will complete the course, racing to Lake Padden, adistance of about five miles. About 40 teams have entered the Ski to Sea Race. Crystal Mountain SkiLodge appears to be the "team to beat," having won the race twice in the last three years.

I had had to pull a lot of strings to get there, so I had to go skiing. If I didn't go I may never have gotten the chance again; the water wasn't REALLY that cold. Some friends were waiting for me to perform, so I have to do it or live in shame. These were some goodreasons, but somewhere in the back of my mind a little voice kept calling out, "You are a fool." I hadpromised a friend that if she would take. me skiing, I would be eternally grateful. I needed a chance to tryout my new ski, and now I was finally there. Unfortunately the sun had failed to show up. At that point ithad become a brutal test of man against the elements. Few people realize the complex psychologicalprocesses that go through the average skiier's mind. The people on the dock kept saying that if I wentfirst they would be sure to follow. I did not believe it for a minute. This was a sick crowd. Well,nevertheless, I had committed myself, and now it was time to prove I could do it. The peer group pressure was getting to me and I wanted to show them I could rise above it. Sitting there freezing, doing someting I really didn't want to do, didn't make much sense. The more I thought about it the less it seemed thething to do. But I was already in the water. No backing out then. As the boat finally dragged me up andout of the water I felt tremendous relief. I had done it, forced myself to do something that I really didn'twant to do. It was a good feeling, success. As soon as I got up I could feel my ski holding the water likea sticky glove. It felt good to be skiing again after such a long wait, and the performance of the ski madeit even better. A few seconds later the sun came out and I seriously thought about going back to church. Then I made a bad cross on the wake and ended up, once again, in the icy water. Then the sun wentaway. We pick the best* The Sound Center is very careful about the products we choose to sell.

"We're not interested in just the return of the terminal," Page said."We're making no deals." A computer center spokesman said it isn't strange the theft was notchallenged.

Health Center running on bandaid budget SHERRY WICK WIRE and CAROLYN CRAIG THERE ARE ILLfeelings on campus concerning care at Western's Health Center. Evelyn Schuler, director of HealthServices, was called to last Tuesday's meeting of the College Services Council. She answered questionsconcerning numerous mis-diagnoses and failures on the part of the clinic to refer patients with seriousproblems to city physicians. One administrator is concerned about reports from students who had visitedthe clinic several times asking to be referred and had not. The college insurance policy requires that astudent get a referral from the clinic before seeing another physician. The rationale for the required referral is that it serves to keep students' insurance down. Vice President for Student Affairs, C.W. "Bill"McDonald said, "As it is now funded, Health Services is operating as a first aid and referral centeronly." Schuler disagrees. "We are much more than just a referral service," she said. Health services isbusy binding its own wounds this year as a. result of a $50,000 budget cut, constituting a 40 per centreduction in funds. The cuts resulted in a reduction of full time staff and complete elimination of part timehelp. Dr. Ken Jernberg resigned as Health Services Director in August due to the lack of funds. He wasreplaced by Schuler, a registered nurse. The clinic is now operating with a "minimal staffs which meansone doctor on duty six hours a day, five days a week, 3.5 registered nurses and two receptionists.McDonald and Schuler agree the clinic is doing as much as it can with the funds it has to work with.Several students have recently questioned this rationale. CRITICISM HAS ALSO been leveled at theHealth Center from other areas. Sue Hirchert, Sex Infirmation Office coordinator, said "This year wejust don't send people to Health Services. We don't recommend it." She said this was because of theinconsistencies in referral and treatment offered by the clinic, and the high percentage of students whoreturned upset after visiting the clinic. One recurring complaint was that the treatment of venerealdisease and pregnancy tests were often accompanied by morals lectures from the nurses. "They're thereto give medical care, not editorial comments," she said. But not all students are dissatisfied with the care given at the clinic. Several responses to a recent survey conducted by the Western Front includedpraise for the Health Center. "If you live on campus and don't have a family doctor, you can't beat thecenter," one student said. "The day I was there they seemed to be very, very patient with some veryimpatient students," another commented. Because Health Services patients are living within the closedcommunity of the college, its mistakes tend to be much more circulated than those of a practicingphysician whose patients have no contact with each other, said one student. Jeff Larson, AS Boardmember, said because of this, "Health Services credibility is suffering. Students are skeptical of theclinic." Health Services administrators supported the clinic's record. "We are only human, too, andrealize we can make mistakes," Schuler said. McDonald said, "Any practicing physician willoccasionally make mistakes." IF LACK OF funds is indeed the cause of Health Services problems, theirfuture is questionable. Currently Health Services receives a large share of their funding from the Servicesand Activities (S A) portion of tuition and fees. The recently completed Goltz Report, which reviewed allareas funded by S A money, recommended that Health Services should not receive any of these funds.If implemented, this would mean that all Health Services money would have to come directly from thelegislature. McDonald said that this created problems because many legislators feel that collegestudents should not be receiving free health care which is not available to persons of the same age notattending college. Schuler said her main concern is student health and not the budget at this time. Shesaid that she will just have to worry about a probable budget cut when it happens. "I really don't knowwhat will happen next year," Schuler said. Hmm.... yi look sick allright.... wtVe, got bandouds -forheadoxhes and "tta, -for indigestion."take, your pick Students feel Health Services 'do a good job for thefacilities' SHERRY WICK WIRE A SAMPLE POLL taken last week showed Western students areconcerned about the student health services program. The Western Front randomly surveyed 55students. Only two said they were too busy to fill out the questionnaire. In the poll, there were 31students who had used the health services before and 24 who had never used them. Those who had used it and gave a written response included a fifth-year student, four seniors, 11 juniors, six sophomores andnine freshmen. Reactions and comments varied 180 degrees at times. For example, one freshman saidthe health service had fast service. But, six others said they had to wait too long. One survey questionasked, "Were you treated at the office or referred to another doctor?" Seventeen students said they hadbeen treated at the office, two said they were referred and eight said they had received both officetreatment and referral. Two students said they had received neither. (The other two students surveyedgave ambiguous responses). "WOULD YOU RECOMMEND the Health Services to others needingmedical attention?" "Yes" responses numbered 15, while "No" responses totalled five. The remaining 11students indicated they would recommend the clinic for only minor illnesses or if the person had no place else to go. Students had both complaints and praise for the student health services. A freshman saidthe doctors could be more understanding, "not like you are a fool." Six people said the doctors wereimpersonal, but said the nurses were "very nice." A common remark encountered when asking about thecare given at the clinic is typified by a senior who said, "The people do a good job for the facilities and the number of people they handle." Evelyn Schuler, director of Health Services, said the clinic receives veryfew complaints. But, she said complaints are necessary. "Basically students have been satisfied I think," Schuler said. Another student said she had been treated several times with a "good hot cup of tea " forbronchitis. Vice President for Student Affairs C.W. "Bill" McDonald said if his office gets complaints onhealth services they try to check them out. But, he added, they have to hear about them first. Studentswho have complaints related to health services can take them to Evelyn Kest, acting assistant dean. Heroffice is in the Students Affairs Office, Old Main 430. ---------- Western Front - 1975 May 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, May 27,1975 Geography's new title misleading' The geography departmentbecomes "geography and regional planning" in next fall's catalog and Huxley believes the title'smisleading. Huxley also offers a program in regional planning. However, Huxley Dean Ruth Weiner saidshe did not think the name change would draw students away from Huxley because the two programsare different in scope. Weiner thinks the name change will confuse new students. Huxley professorErnst Gay-den agrees. He feels the geography department does not offer a broad enough curriculumto warrant the additional title of "regional planning." Instead, Gayden would like to see more emphasison interdepartmental study and a greater cooperation between Huxley and the geography department. Weiner was also concerned because the decision was made without any discussion between thedepartments. According to Robert Teshera, geography department, the regional planning programoffers a 105 credit-hour concentration with courses from nine departments, including Huxley.Teshera also estimated 40 to 50 per cent of geography majors are enrolled in the program. He saidthe program has been highly successful, and the department has had a planning program for 11 years. The curriculum has recently been enlarged after moving into new facilities in Arntzen Hall. Nextyear's dorm changes Saga food prices on the rise again By next year, what students in dorms now payfor food will be a fond memory. Saga Food Services will be upping their rates about 10 per cent for the1975-76 school year. The increase, Food Service Director Riley Sivertsen said, is because "studentwages will be going up 10 per cent in January, and utilities (such as napkins) will be up five per cent."Saga will try to cut costs by elimination of guest passes. "The main idea of the guest passes was to letthe guests try the food free," Sivertsen said. "But mostly students are using them to get an extrasteak on Saturday night." For reasons of flexibility, meal plans will also be reorganized for next year.Instead of students choosing how many meals they want on a specific day, they will have a choice ofbuying 10, 15 or all 21 meals offered during the week. Thus students can eat three meals one day andonly one the next. "We've studied meal plans: around the nation, and the 101 and 15 meals-a-weekplans are by far the most popular," Sivertsen said. Saga will continue to offer unlimited seconds, saladbar, Saturday night steaks and occasionally a "beef and brew night" for those of legal age. In addition, the nutritional values of individual food items will be posted. ERNST GAYDEN Look again-prices maygo down SHERRY WICKWIRE Seeing prices escalate from week to week is not out of the ordinary, but the possibility of seeing them drop is viewed with disbelief and skepticism by most. But, lower prices on all paper products sold at the Student Co-op Bookstore next year are foreseen by bookstore managerGeorge Elliott. Elliott returned from a West Coast Bookstore Association conference quoting lowerprices on items such as spiral notebooks, typing paper, duplicating paper and notebook paper. Forexample, a popularly sold notebook this year cost $1.92. Next fall it would sell for $1.72. Elliott saidother price reductions would be along those same lines or about 10 per cent. The West CoastBookstore Association is a group of 52 colleges who organize to purchase items in quantity together. This allows them to obtain better prices. Companies then bid to fill the orders. Elliott, who is on thebuying committee, attended the conference in Oregon the last week in April. He said he was pleasedwith this year's outcome. Asked what textbook prices will be doing next year, he said, they will be going up again. He said this is due to the publishers, not the cost of paper. "They (the publishers) have acaptive market," Elliott said. If a certain book is needed and it is only published by one company, thebookstore is unable to negotiate a price. The publisher controls the pricing. More specials or sales are planned for next year throughout the store, he said. Residence hall cans to be labeled next year Itlooks as though they're going to be separating the boys from the girls next year â€” at least in the way of on-campus dorm bathroom facilities. "The bathrooms will be labeled for each of the sexes next year,"said Pete Coy, housing services director. At the start of this school year, dorm dwellers kept pretty well to their own bathrooms, but as time progressed, rumors of "coed cans in Kappa and Omega" werecirculated. So what will make next year any different than this year? In addition to having clearly labeled bathrooms, the residence hall staff will be asked to enforce I the separation of the sexes in Jbathrooms. â€¢t Other rumors circulating around residence halls state that co-ed dorms will be co-ed,separating males from females by floors or wings. This year, co-ed dorms have been co-ed by room.Although the final decision concerning this matter will be made at the end of the year, Coy predicted that the co-ed dorms will remain co-ed by room, as they are now. He also forecast that this year's co-eddorms will remain as co-ed dorms next year, except for tower one in in Fairhaven, which will become awomen's awareness dorm. Coy added that dorm occupancy for next year may be higher than thisyear's occupancy. "We have received more applications this year than at the same time last year" hesaid. J Urban center adds education to experience ROBERT LEWIS ADDING AN ACADEMICbackground to the knowledge of experience is the philosophy of Fairhaven College's Center for UrbanStudies. Under that philosophy, the center has proved so popular that its waiting list has grown to morethan 150. Its capacity is 50 students. Located in Seattle, the program's purpose is to give urban,experienced people the degree needed to advance in their fields, Katherine Bourne said. Bourne was oneof the founders of the program, and now is one of its administrators. The students have knowledge fromtheir experience, she said. "The problem is, how do you document that knowledge?" The students reflect the central urban area the school serves. Sixty-five per cent are ethnic minorities. Fifty-two per cent arewomen. They earn Fairhaven degrees through class work and credit for competency and performance.The grading system is pass/no record, with student transcripts recording work completed. The students'average age is 34 and over 90 per cent are employed, mostly in government and social services.According to Barry Mar, the center's director. STUDENTS FEEL NO qualms about speaking againstconcepts that contradict their "street" experience, he said. Woody Hodge, a faculty member who alsoteaches at the University of Washington said he has to use a different style in teaching at the center. Itis necessary to put more emphasis on the application of knowledge to life, and less on concepts andtheories, he said. Mar feels his faculty meets the challenge. All are masters degrees or doctorates.Except for Mar, the faculty is all voluntary. It is expertise in their fields, not teaching ability, that thecenter seeks in its staff. In fact, Mar said, only two of the teachers also teach in other schools. "Most ofour faculty are not professional faculty The staff includes a Seattle School board member, counselors,administrators and even The program was spawned from Survival Center, a community developmentprogram in Seattle. Officially started in 1973, it ran on donations from churches, the Model Cities program and Fairhaven. The program now receives federal funds. - 0 1 M-MH CENTER FOR UR AMSTUDIES Â© â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ 0 lt;D tftr^ MAINTAINING COMMUNITY TIES is very important to thecenter, Mar said. "I encourage my faculty to use contemporary, local examples." A community board,including students, helped in the selection of the program's director. It also makes policyrecommendations to Fairhaven. Bourne said the center affiliated with Fairhaven because of the flexibility it offered. She also emphasized the importance of association with a valid institution.. "The studentswant legitimate, not 'funny' degrees," she said. While the tie with Fairhaven was at first in name only,Mar said, communication has improved as the program has proven itself. THE SCHOOL'S MAIN neednow, Bourne said, is more money. "Any problem we have can be fixed with bucks," she said. Becauseof the large waiting list, Mar said, there is pressure to expand the program. "But we will only expand tothe point where we still have that personal touch," he said. That "personal touch" seems to be a key tothe center's success. Clases are small and loose. In one class the professor often stood back when theclass was naturally interacting and let things happen. In a music appreciation class, studentsparticipated in an African jam session on various percussion instruments. Faculty are often availableafter class. Informal get-togethers allow further interaction. Mar foresees no substantial changes in theprogram beyond expansion. He feels the program's first years have been a success. ---------- Western Front - 1975 May 27 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, May 27,1975 Western Front 3 Vietnam: A necklace of human ears... STEVE THOMPSONWE WERE TWO old friends, Ben and I, sitting in the gathering dusk, drinking beer and talking. Ourdiscussion gradually turned to our days in the service. Mine were the usual and mundane adventures of a rearline technician â€” overweight, underpaid, oversexed and underworked. Ben's were considerablydifferent. He had been a Marine Corps sniper (1966-1968), and had made six missions into NorthVietnam. This was when four missions were considered the maximum a person could make before deathor capture. He had undergone a disastrous divorce that had left him custody-of two unwanted children. He had always avoided responsibility. This time he turned the children over to friends and joined theMarines. After induction Ben was sent to Okinawa, Japan, as a truckdriver. There he heard vague rumors about a top-secret sniper unit to be formed like the sniper units that had won fame in South Vietnam."They were called the 10-cent killers," he added with a hoarse laugh. "They were called that because that was the cost of a rifle bullet." He was accepted and underwent six months of intensive training: primarilyin hand-to-hand combat, jungle lore, first aid and patrol tactics. Marksmanship was secondary because a volunteer had to be an expert marksman before being accepted. "The training was made as realistic aspossible," he said. "We would spend a whole day doing things like hand-to-hand combat. Then we mightspend all night running a night patrol. Sometimes we would spend the nights sleeping in ditches. "Onetime our combat instructor used me to demonstrate a hold. 'What if he does this to break the hold?" Iasked. "Then you do this," he answered and slugged me in the jaw and knocked me out. "After while,you didn't think about what you were going to do â€” you automatically did it. It all became instinct."UPON COMPLETION OF his training; Ben went directly to his unit. Then he began making his drops into North Vietnam. He made all of his drops north of Hanoi, midway between the city and the Chineseborder. They were sent in, in six two-man teams. A base camp would be set up and they would fan outfrom the camp to commit their acts of terrorism. The camp was set up far from any population centers.They never did anything closer than ten miles to camp to as not to reveal its location. 'Operation RollingThunder,' the aerial bombardment of North Vietnam, made use of the highways impractical," he said."The North Vietnamese used backroads, paths and trails to filter men and material south. Our job was togo in, disrupt the flow of men and material south, kill all the people we could, terrorize the countrysideand drive the peasants back into the cities." While there, Ben killed at least 350 people. The way hekept count was by cutting off the right ear of his victim, drying it in the sun and putting it on a necklacearound his neck. "When we'd come back from a mission, we'd take a week of R R (rest and relaxation)in Saigon," he said. "Everyone had a necklace of human ears. We'd wear those with our camouflageuniforms and nobody would ever fool with us. A Saigon prostitute told one man that everyone was terrified of us because we 'reeked of death.' " Occasionally they would pull tricks on the other side. One suchtime occurred when Ben and two members of the team trailed a detachment of 20 North Vietnamesesoldiers to an overnight bivouac. "WE KILLED THE guard," he said. "I sat in the doorway and covered the detachment with my rifle. The other two killed another man, cut off his head and set it on his chest. Then we left. I bet those others really crapped their pants when they woke up the next morning." The NorthVietnamese army reacted by hunting the snipers constantly. Planes and dogs were used. The sniperswere constantly on the move. They . would flee one area when their presence was discovered to findsafety in another. Once they found a sanctuary, they would immmediately start killing until forced to fleeagain. "You never made friends, because if they were killed or had to be left behind, it was one more pain you had to bear," he commented sadly. "It got to the point human life meant nothing. Everyone wasconstantly throwing knives. The big thing was to see how close you could stick a knife to someone whenthey didn't expect it. I don't know how many times I've had my hand or arm pinned down by a knife stuckin my coat or sleeve. People didn't care about human life . . . the smallest argument and people would try to kill each other." Occasionally the North Vietnamese would capture a sniper. The preferred treatment was to torture them to death. The victim had his tongue cut out, to be followed by blinding, castration,chopsticks pounded into the ears, flaying, etc. On Ben's sixth mission, the North Vietnamese overran the sniper's base camp. Ben escaped with a knife wound in the side and wounds in both legs. He andseveral others were the only ones to make it to an emergency evacuation point several miles away. "They came in out of nowhere like a wave. We killed as many as we could . . . grabbed our stuff and took off. Ihad a broken shin and yet I was so terrified, I ran five miles to the emergency evacuation point. When wegot there the sky was filled, with planes and helicopters. I remember when the emergency evacuationhelicopter was lifting out what was left of our unit . . . I was so glad I cried." AFTER THIS ORDEAL, Benwent to an emergency hospital in Dan Nang, South Vietnam. From there, he was transferred to a hospital in Hawaii for six months. During this period he was so filled with hatred all he could think about wasreturning to North Vietnam and killing more Vietnamese. He never returned. The casualty rate for snipers in North Vietnam had become so high the program was discontinued. He did make several missions into Laos and South Vietnam before his discharge. Ben is now happily settled down with his children and his new girlfriend, Ann. He says he is happy and his experiences in Vietnam did not affect him. He says hiswar wounds have healed and he is as good as new. "I went in a private and got out a private so I guessI'm unchanged,", is the way he describes himself. Later, his old girlfriend told me Ben used to cry in hissleep and slept with a pistol under his pillow. One night he awoke from a nightmare about Vietnam andemptied his pistol at a light switch glowing on the wall. His new. girlfriend told me he still cries in hissleep. 10 MISC FOR SALE Garrard SL 72 new Shure Male $75 call Kevin turntable cartridge 734-2237 32 Wanted Business administration student needs good used briefcase.

I'm still not sureWestern has one. After surviving the infamous Health Services waiting room endurance test, myFlorence Nightengale appeared and directed me to the examining room. Which was in reality a dimly lit corner back in the hall. Where we stood and had an illuminating little chat. I went into a rather lengthydescription of my affliction, punctuated by what I thought were some very convincing coughs. But I musthave had that hypochrondiatic gleam in my eye. "Do you smoke?" she asked. I nodded guiltily. "End oflecture," she said, with a look that clearly told me to get the hell out of there, quit smoking, and livehappily ever after. As an apparent afterthought, she dashed into a little room somewhere and reappeared with cough syrup and decongestant in hand. Considering the fact that I had already been ona codiene and Contac induced high for a week, I had hoped for something more. Perhaps sensing this,she continued. "Do you drink?" she asked. "Well," she continued, " a good shot before you go to bed isthe best thing you can do for that cough. Of course you'll have to get someone to buy it for you . . ." End of quote. Honest. I never did see a thermometer or a stethescope. Apparently this is not the only caseof rather novel treatments prescribed by the Health Center. One girl was given three different diagnosesfor her illness in the space of three weeks. In treating the third disease, the doctor prescribed some "little green pills" which had the same effect as speed and kept her too high to go to school. She took themback, explained the problem, and was told by the doctor that the pills were apparently recyclable. "It'sgetting close to finals week," he said, "You could always sell them for speed." A female student went inwith a self diagnosed case of herpes, a type of venereal disease. Upon examining her, the doctorremarked, "Oh my God nurse, look at this!' He then diagnosed her case as a rash caused by "toomuch sexual intercourse." The "rash" didn't get better/ and she asked three times for a referral to agynecologist. Her requests were "ignored." Obviously three mistakes does not a bad Health Servicesmake. They are only brought out to suggest that there should, be a serious review of what HealthServices is and what it can be expected to do on a severely crippled budget. The three cases describeddealt with rather serious illnesses which should have been referred to an outside physician not hampered by Health Services financial woes. Although the Clinic's budget was slashed by 40 per cent this yearreducing the staff to a minimal level, the number of referrals is only slightly more than last year's. IsHealth Services limiting the number of referrals to keep insurance rates at artificial "bargain" rates?McDonald has said that, as it is currently funded, Health Services can be nothing more than a first aidand referral service. Yet Evelyn Schuler, director of the Clinic, said it is "much more" than a referralservice. McDonald and Schuler should get together sometime and decide what Health Services really is, perhaps tailoring its goals more closely to its financial resources. â€”Carolyn Craig letters Poorargument against nuclear plants Editor, Western Front: It seems as though many of those people whono longer have Vietnam as a cause (and I am one of those people), and can't seem to be "able to livewithout a cause (I am not one of those), have created their own new cause, nuclear power plants. Thisnot only does a disservice to a reasoned study of nuclear power, it also does a grave disservice to theidea of social activism. Their arguments are mostly emotional and based on hearsay, but I'd like to shed light on some of them. They say there is only enough uranium to last 50 years. The fact is there is a"breeder reactor" being built at Hanford which will produce more pluton-ium than it will use. There willsoon be no need for uranium. They say that the rise in the temperature of the water used to cool areactor will upset ecological balance. In fact, water used at Hanford and put back into the ColumbiaRiver raises the temperature less than one degree and has been shown to cause no damage whatsoever to river life. They talk about "nuclear accidents." This contrasts with roughly 1,000 deaths a year inthe coal mining industry. Not a single person missed a single day of work because of the famous leaksof nuclear wastes at the Hanford sight. They talk about possible explosions. In fact, no nuclear powerplant will produce weapons- grade plutonium, nothing nearly so pure. They talk about naturaldisasters. In fact, the reactors built at Hanford in 1943, built with much less safety in mind thanmodern nuclear power plants, were built to withstand earthquakes. Overall, the nuclear power industryhas safeguards far more intricate than any other industry in history. To be sure, there are problems,nuclear waste being the foremost. But the question of "waste management" will become most in thefuture. A process has already been developed to convert cesium, which constitutes a large amount ofnuclear waste, into a stable material which can be used for windows and which is stronger than anywindow material now in use. To the question "how would you like to live next door to a nuclear reactor"my answer is, I have. For over 20 years, I have eaten fish caught a few miles down stream from areactor, I have swum in the Columbia in the shadow of a reactor. Believe it or not, I don't glow in thedark. Social activism in just moral cause has produced the finest things a society can offer. But rallyingaround a cause for the sake of the rally is at best useless, and at worst dangerous to freedom.

N _ . : s Is Arntzen Hall conducting an experiment in the creation of human icebergs? If so, they were very successful at the showing ofHitchcock's "39 Steps" last Monday night. Those who stuck out the arctic atmosphere till the end of themovie had a case of goosebumps even a good Hitchcock movie couldn't have caused. C.C. You're rightâ€” according to the projectionist, it was so cold the film broke twice. The chilling dungeon atmospherewas caused by something extremely unsensational â€” no heat. According to Don House of themaintenance department, there was a "malfunction in the big fan," so the heat was completely off thatday. (I have no clue as to why the film was still shown in freezing conditions). The heat was turned onlast week, and House has had no more complaints. He added that usually he gets complaints "that it'stoo hot." life on campus JEFFBETT1NSON Ahhh. Birds are singing. Trees are blooming. Spring term is rushing to a close. Gee, football season is almost here. Talking about football, it is even rumored somemembers of Western's football team are finally digging themselves out of last fall's mud. Western'steams have displayed a great deal of negative dazzle over the last two seasons. In 1973, they soared towin one game and lose seven. And 1974 brought them glorious success with six losses, two wins andone tie. My friend Justus told me these disastrous seasons have stirred the souls of Western's athleticwizards. "WOW, I can hardly wait," Justus said. "Next year's football team will be fantistic. Harry T.Wishbone has been hired as a special coach." "Who is Harry T. Wishbone?" I asked. "He's a famouscoach. He rose to fame at the University of where he coached Jerry Ford. Harry T. Spent a few hours withJerry and taught him everything he knows." "Okay, but what does this Harry T. plan to do at Western?"It's obvious that one of the reasons for the* failure of Western's teams has be'en the lack of big, strong,dumb football jocks. Well, Harry T. plans to go out and recruit some of those big block-heads." "Buthow?" I said. "Western is suffering from a financial crunch and it sure can't afford to pay much for footballplayers." "Well, Wishbone's theory is to offer those guys $10,000 a term and a Royals Royce. He figures they'll be so dumb they won't know they've been had until after the season is over." "Okay," I said. "Even assuming Wishbone gets those jocks here. How does he intend to keep them in school. Won't theirlousy grades make them ineligible?" "That's a joke," Justus said. "There aren't any lousy grades atWestern. Seventy-three per cent of all grades given in undergraduate courses last quarter were A's andB's. Hell, Wishbone figures if the rest of the yo-yos here can get close to a three point, then his dumb-dumbs surely can get C's." "Well," I said, "I hope this Wishbone knows what he's doing." "Don't worry,"Justus said, "because Harry T. stood out on the fields the other day and made a vow. He pointed hisfinger at Mt. Baker and said, 'That mountain will blow to kingdom come before we have another losingseason at Western." front staff The Western Front is the official newspaper of Western WashingtonState College.

The man is David Wilkerson. The program is TeenChallenge. Wilkerson will be at Carver Gym today at 7:30 p.m. He is being sponsored by local churchesand Christian groups on campus. Brady Bobbink, a recent Western graduate and associate pastor of alocal church stated: "This community writes off Christianity as being unsound; very few people take itseriously. Wilkerson's ministry has proven itself, by its cure rate and results." Wilkerson knows our"youth culture" probably better than most here at Western. His ministry began in the late 1950s. He hadbeen the pastor of a - small country church. He read about a New York gang under trial for murder anddecided to try to help them out. With no money, he went to New York and stayed and worked on thestreets trying to help the gangs. There in New York he saw the things we read about. HE OPENED UP a Teen Challenge center for these and other individuals. Today there are Teen Challenge centers in mostmajor cities in the United States, plus some abroad. Many of the staff workers in these centers are kidsoff the street. They listened to Wilkerson, and then at one point in their lives made a decision to tryanother way of life. They now work with others needing help because of drug addiction, homosexuality,alcoholism, divorce problems, loneliness, alienation and more. "These centers are supported 100 percent by private donations," Bobbink said. The cure rate of the centers is so impressive that the TeenChallenge center in Seattle has been offered government assistance. Wilkerson has made a number ofmovies, and has written books, among them the best seller, "The Cross and the Switchblade." TheAssociated Students Board of Directors unanimously endorsed a resolution decrying administrativeaction in the recent firings of Chicano administr-tors at the University of Washington. There were two abstentions in the vote taken Thursday night. The recent firing of Juan Sanchez and Fary Padilla,directors of the Chicano Division in the Office of Minority Affairs at the UW, prompted the resignation of 30 faculty and staff members as of this writing. The resolution states, "We (Board of Directors)support the efforts of the University of Washington students, faculty and staff to have a clear and definite statement of administrative policy regarding minority staff members and minority programs." Theresolution was presented to the board by Lyell Fox, a Western student who said she is "just interestedin the problem." She also presented the board with a similar resolution passed unanimously by theFairhaven faculty. The board also voted unanimously for approval of a salary increase for GeorgeElliott, manager of the Student Co-op Bookstore. The action by the board will affect an increase inhis salary by 12 per cent. His annual salary will now be $18,750. There was one abstention. Heatexhaustion can cause brain damage for dogs DAVID WILKERSON With summer approaching, theHuman Society has come up with a tip for Bowser. On a warm summer day, the inside of a car gets very hot. If it is 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car with the windows slightly open will reach102 degrees in 10 minutes. In 20 minutes it will go up to 120 degrees. A dog's normal bodytemperature is 101.5 to 102.2 degrees. He can tolerate a body temperature of 107 to 108 for only avery short time before he suffers brain damage or death. If a dog is overcome by heat exhaustion, it canbe cooled off with cold water and ice. The dog should be taken to a veterinarian shortly after. tte wmPiercina 676-9292 BAY ST.

Also offered, depending on whether enough people register, are a variety ofsome 40 special enrollment programs such as: â€”International foods. This course runs for one weekand involves group dining in the Northwest area restaurants featuring international foods. There is aworkshop along with the dining and two credits are given for this course. â€”Workshop in men's wear.This class runs for four days and teaches the techniques of sewing for "him." There are two credits forthis class. â€”Visit the Ashland Shakes-pear Festival. Students receive two credits for attending thefestival in Oregon.

O'Neil said summer school is more relaxing than the regularsessions, the classes are small and you have a better chance for personal contact with the teacher.He's a little worried that enrollment might be down this year because students are not in such a hurry toget through school as they used to be. There aren't many jobs when they do. He is hoping, however, that the variety of classes offered will stimulate people to come to summer school.

With spring inour midst, prospective tennis players are beginning to get the bug. Here are a few helpful hintswhen buying beginning tennis equipment. For beginners who are going to be once-a-monthers, a cheapWilson racket is a good investment. The price of this racket varies from $9.95 to $18.95. Balls that are not pressurized are suggested. For beginners in tennis who are interested in getting serious about thesport, you should be a bit choosy when purchasing equipment. One salesman at the SportsmanChalet recommends the Davis Highpoint, unstrung, for $19.95. The best gut for this racket is red twistnylon, he said. "Any beginner should expect to invest at least $25 if they are really serious," he said.Stan Bianchi, women's tennis coach here, said beginners should probably start with a wooden racketbecause it is easier to control the racket. Metal rackets give more power and less control. Yeager'sSporting Department suggests a Chris Evert Wilson, a Ruggers end year at Strawberry Cup KEITHOLSON WITH THE LAST kegs of the season under their belts, Western's ruggers turned in possibly their best performance of the year on May 17 at the Strawberry Cup rugby tournament in Ellensburg. Theruggers finished sixth overall and brought home their only trophy of the year. Western's first team wonthree of five matches while the second squad split four contests, good for 12th place in the 16 teamcompetition. "We didn't give up a try the whole weekend and every point scored on us was from a penalty kick," team coach Larry Arlint said. "Ten of the 15 men who played for the first team have just completed their first season of rugby, so with that in mind, I thought we played exceptinally well." Western lost itsopener Saturday morning, 6-4, to the Red Lions of Vancouver, B.C. The loss automatically put the Viks into the consolation bracket where the best they could finish was fifth. Greg Fry scored a try for Western but it was not enough to offset two penalty kicks by the Lions. The ruggers bounced back in their nexttwo matches, beating a pick-up squad of players from several teams in the tourney, 16-0, then edging the Georgians, another Vancouver, B.C., team, 3-0. Bob Duffy, Steve Fisher, and Dan Coleman scored trysfor Western in the first win. Galen Melby added two conversions (one from a tough sideline angle) in thatgame, and scored the only points in the match against the Georgians on a 35-yard penalty kick. THENEXT MORNING, WESTERN battled Chuckanut Bay, Frasier Valley Union rugby champs, before losing3-0. Chuckanut scored on a 20-yard penalty kick following an offside call on Western. The loss was thesecond time Chuckanut had beaten Western by a 3-0 score. In their final match, the Viks avenged theirloss to the Red Lions by a score of 16-3. Stan Fritz, Boats Bowman, and Dean (the Dream and RugbyMachine) Shepherd scored trys for Western. Melby added two conversions. Shepherd's try was amammoth effort by the stout Western forward. "I had the ball across the goal three times and got stoodup before I could touch the ball down," Shepherd said. "The fourth time I just put my head down andwater-buffaloed my way in." Duane Roth suffered a dislocated elbow in the tournament, but he was notthe only reported injury. One Red Lion rugger was hospitalized during the first Western match after acollision with Shepherd. The ruggers finished their season with an 18-25 won lost record.

By theestimation of one faculty member he is a "hired teeth puller." In any case Rep. Art Moreau, D-Bellingham, was instrumental in cooling the strike ambitions of Western's faculty. With More'au as"concrete evidence" the legislature is taking steps in the right direction on faculty salary increases, thefaculty voted Wednesday against a proposed walkout scheduled for Monday. An estimated 450 students and faculty members squeezed into Lecture Hall 4 for the Wednesday meeting called j o i n t l y by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and the American Association of University Professors(AAUP). The meeting was to discuss possible action against what AFT President Mark Wicholas called "gross discrimination" on the part of the Washington House. A bill recently passed by the House callsfor a 10 per cent faculty pay raise to be distributed on the basis of merit, with no across-the-board costof living increase. "That," _said one faculty member, "simply means that some' of us will be allowed tostarve meritoriously more slowly than others." The strike was proposed, in the words of AAUP President Harry Jackson, "to find some kind of two by four to hit them (the legislature) between the ears with,because we haven't as yet been able to convince them that we're serious." Moreau's presence at themeeting seemed to indicate Olympia was aware of the s e r i o u s n e s s of faculty disatisfaction withthe House action. Moreau flew in from Olympia on short notice at the request of the governor's office. He said it was his understanding that there was a bill on the drawing board of the Washington Senatewhich w o u l d provide for an across-the-board 12 per cent increase, and a faculty strike would- onlyhamper these efforts by bringing â€¢ "undue pressure from the public and the press to bear upon thesenate:" Moreau's statements were supported by several members of the AFT and AAUP Executive"Committees. Maurice Foisy of -political science faculty said he had received several calls from Olympia prior to the meeting that had indicated the legislature's concern over the salary question." One of thesecame from Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Hubert Donohue who said he was"firmly committed" to the 12 per cent, no merit .increase. The strike was rejected by an estimated four-fifths of the faculty, which brought charges by some that Moreau had been effectively "hired to come uphere and pull teeth" from the faculty appeal. " Although there will not be a strike Monday, the facultyadopted a resolution which rejects the 10 per cent merit increase and provides for the creation of a strike committee which could organize another strike vote early next quarter should the legislature fail to act. "We would not hesitate to do so if our demands are not met," Jackson said. It was expected thatfaculty on the campuses of Eastern, Central and Washington State, who had similar meetingsscheduled for yesterday and today, would follow Western's lead in the no-strike vote. The action of thefaculty, however, does not preclude the possibility of a strike at Western this quarter. It is notconnected to the proposed strike by the Washington Federation of State Employes. Fairhaven pig axedin head; Humane Society summoned Members of Fairhaven's Outback program are sickened by thedeath of their only pig after the animal was apparently axed in the head Friday evening. Outback is analternative energy and agricultural research program at Fairhaven. "It was obviously a knife or an axe,more likely an axe due to the type of cut," Outback member Sandy Morris said. The pig, a brood sow,was still alive when found Saturday morning. But due to the extent of the wound, Outback membersasked the Humane Society to dispose of her. "It could have been someone who wanted revenge against Fairhaven or Outback," Morris said. There is speculation that it may have been one or more of a groupof transient hitchhikers who were upset after being asked to leave Fairhaven the same evening. Theyhad been asked to leave by several Fairhaven students because they had been "bothering people,ripping off the cigarette machine and being generally obnoxious," Morris said. Although, no one hasbeen arrested, campus security reports it is still investigating. "We were all sickened by this," Morrissaid. "But the person who did it was really sick. "We don't think there will be any pigs for awhile. Nowwe are watching all the animals very closely."

Tenure. Part 3 Tenure system alternatives j Ed. note: Tenure is an issue that generates much talkof alternatives. This last installment of a three-part series deals with alternatives to tenure. An oftenmentioned criticism of tenure is that it protects incompetent and unsatisfactory faculty members. Another criticism is that of having too many tenured faculty members if financial cut-backs force layoffs.Basically, the only way an incompetent faculty member can be forced to leave is if he's committed aconcrete and provable offense such as plagiarism. Very few subjective judgments of incompetence haveforced out faculty members. Peer pressure and "social ostracism" have been mentioned as the onlyalternatives. One faculty member has begun looking, in the ' last several days, for channels to chargeanother faculty member with incompetency. He has not found any. Dean of the College of Arts andSciences, James Davis, said he did not know of any college in the country with those types ofprocedures. Huxley's policy Huxley College has such procedures. The Board of Trustees adopted aunique policy for Huxley last, month. The policy calls for evaluations of faculty members at least everyfive years. Procedures for charging other faculty members with incompetence are included in the policy.A Personnel Committee will reevaluate a faculty member if three or more Huxley faculty members makea written request. This cannot happen less than two years after the last evaluation. A faculty member isdismissed if h$. receives three successive unsatisfactory evaluations. Not all observers are enthusiasticabout the Huxley policy. Harry Jackson, vice president of the local American Association of UniversityProfessors (AAUP), had doubts about the five-year evaluations. "If you give people that out, decisionsmay be made rather sloppily because they could be reviewed in five years," Jackson said. Jackson,although skeptical of the-policy, said, "They have more homework to do to solve the problem -of tenurebut it's a step in the right direction." Fears of stagnation voiced An opinion voiced by many students oncampus is that the livelier and better instructors . are those young teachers without tenure. This opinionexpresses fear of having too many tenured faculty. Although he doesn't profess to hold this opinion,College President Charles J. Flora has recently voiced concern over the high percentage of tenuredfaculty. Western now has 82 per cent of its faculty tenured. Three departments are 100 per cent tenured. "It's quite important to bring in new individuals," Flora said. "A department which is 100 per cent tenuredtends to become unresponsive and without vigor." Not everyone agrees with Flora's calls for new blood.David Ziegler of the political science department calls the phrase "devoid of meaning." He also objects tothe charge that having too many tenured faculty members causes stagnation. "What evidence I haveseen suggests the contrary - that there is no foundation to the charge of stagnation," Ziegler said. "In themost recent poll of students, tenured faculty were statistically no less likely to be cited for excellentteaching than non-tenured." The most often mentioned solution to prevent stagnation is continued facultyresearch. Most faculty members and administrators agree that released time for outside research isessential for a vital learning experience. Several faculty members cited instances in which facultymembers generated enthusiasm among their students via research projects and grants. However, most of those projects need money, which is scarce at Western. Another proposal, currently being studied byseveral groups on campus, calls or a one-year faculty exchange program. Flora has proposed acontroversial plan calling for a halt to the granting of tenure. New faculty members would be hired on atwo or three year non-renewable contract. Flora's proposal has been greeted with jeers and disdain bythe faculty. One faculty member asked, "How are we going to hire quality instructors if we tell them thereis no chance they can stay here?" "He's offering a brand new person the opportunity to join Western at a pauperous salary - with no possibility of tenure when he could go somewhere else that pays better andoffers tenure," Jackson said. Enrollment declines hurt tenure Western suffered considerably during thefinancial crisis of the past few years. Layoffs of tenured faculty were thwarted but the college may not beso lucky the next time around. Another enrollment slump would pose a serious danger to Western. Adeclining national birthrate has educators around the country predicting a serious enrollment dropbetween 1978 and 1980. Flora said his plan to form a pool of non-tenured positions by refusing to granttenure would solve this problem. "By 1978, we sould have built up a pool sufficient to reach into if weneed it," Flora said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 March 7 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front. Friday, March 7,19 Flora on fauna President doubles as biologist STEVE THOMPSON Letting nature be the teacher is the way College President Charles J. Flora instructs his informalbeginners course onN marine life on Puget Sound beaches. " F l o r a On Fauna" is a no credit, non-structured, no quiz class which meets Saturdays from 9 a.m. 'til noon at the Shannon Point MarineCenter near Anacortes. Biologist Flora is an authority on marine life in the area. He wrote "The Soundand the Sea," a textbook which has become a major reference work on Pacific seashore life. "The"course involves five minutes of classroom lecture and the rest is spent wandering around the animalkingdom of the intertidal zone of the beaches," Flora said. An observer, on the other hand, mightdescribe it as a short interesting lecture. Then a mad scramble itx examine as - many marine organismsas possible before the end of class. While the students are "oqhing and aahing" over their discoveries,Flora moves among them generating enthusiasm with quips, jokes and comments. "We're out for a good time. We just do it for fun," Flora said. Twenty-seven students have enrolled, but 30 attend each classsession. Ages run from nine to 70. Some students take their specimens out of sea water tanks forexamination while others wander along the beach collecting. Once obtained they are taken to the lab forexamination and analysis. "All my life I've hved on the beach and not until- now did T realize I knewnothing about it," one grey-haired lady said. The class is taught by Flora and George Garlick, technicianat Shannon Point, without pay. The class fee of $10 covers the use of the lab and materials. " I t ' s good publicity for the biology department and we enjoy teaching it," Flora said. This is not Flora's first extra-curricular teaching endeavor. He has led several popular beach walks giving the casual observer a chance to sit beside a tide pool and peruse the life within it. The most recent beach walk, held in the summer of 1973, drew some 300 men, women and children to Larrabee State Park. In 1963 he received the GoldenMike Trophy for a television series entitled "Tide Pool Critters." The series, about marine life of thenorthern Puget Sound beaches, was judged the best local television program in the interest of youth.FLORA ON FAUNA â€” This candid pose by College President Charles Flora in his informal marine lifecourse gives a preview of the future, when he steps down from his presidency and returns to duties in thebiology department. Conference commends multigeneration Bridge Project STEVE GALBRAITHLearning is a lifelong process and should be open to all ages, determined the Post-Secondary EducationConference held at Fairhaven's Bridge Project. The three-day conference began Feb. 26. The BridgeProject is an experimental learning experience involving people of all ages. U.S. Senate aides from theSpecial Committee on Aging were on hand to compile recommendations from over two dozen policyteams. The committee will print the recommendations in a report, according to Bridge Director LeoneWestern. "This was the first conference I know of in the U.S. which gathered people together who mightknow something about post-secondary adults," she said. The conference's thrust shifted from' seniorcitizens to inter-generational education. Programs, curriculum and special education problems wereamong the issues discussed by the policy teams. Some delegates complained traditional educationexcluded, or at best, patronized older students. They said old people failed to attend night schoolbecause they were afraid to walk in the dark. Western said Bridge Project students couldn't competewith younger Fairhaven students. She said class reading loads often left Bridge students "scared todeath." Western said "senior citizen education should be tailored to older people's special needs."Bridge Project appeals to certain individuals and involves "risk taking," Bridge counselor Aliyah Steinsaid. Stein said Bridge had "revitalized" and broken through the "youth ghetto" at Fairhaven. CollegePresident Charles Flora congratulated the project at the conference's opening banquet, claiming it hadhelped to break through "youth-oriented" education and to include all ages in learning. Flora saidFairhaven offered a "natural learning situation where senior citizens, middle aged and young people areworking together." The conference's several hundred participants included educators, social workers andgovernment officials. Post-secondary projects represented at the conference ranged from rural half-wayhouses to urban education centers. "When you get a group of people who are pioneers, they're reallyexcited," George Shea, Fordham University dean, said. He said the conference obtained "almostunanimous agreement" against segregated education Shea said Fordham's "College of the Sixties" wasone of the oldest projects practicing "intergeneration education." He said education for all agesrepresented national education's changing direction. Shea said senior citizen education lent "realexperience" to his college's multi-facet approach. He said Fordham, like the Bridge Project, operatesthree bridges for high school, vocational and retired students. Shea said the College of the Sixties built"bridges" for bringing what people are doing into the college where they can mix. Shea said the. biggestproblem was "how to get that mix to work best." Western said the Senate's committee report on theconference will be used to support expanded federal funding of post-secondary education projects.Research and information-referral are still badly needed between pilot projects, she said. Ed Mediamaking film for state prison system Women's Day schedule active International Women's Day will becelebrated in Bellingham Sunday beginning with a "Women's Solidarity Parade" through downtown in the morning. The. rest of the day's activities include an afternoon of workshops and swimming at theYWCA, a potluck dinner and "sing-along" afterwards, a women's film and, to end the evening, a "sock-hop." All women are encouraged to come and meet each other, learn from each other and laugh witheach other. Women should meet at 10 a.m. Saturday at the corner of Holly and Commercial streets to~ march through downtown Bellingham to the YWCA. Workshops planned for the afternoon at theYWCA include traditional women's folkdance, herbs for women, ovulation, women in the history of theUnited States, women as workers (presented by the Coalition of Labor ~ Union Women), and a slideshow and discussion of women in prison. The satirical dramatic presentation "The Rape of Mr. Smith,"will be performed various times during the afternoon, and the pool will be open from 3 to 6 p.m. Theschedule for workshops will be announced later. â€¢TORI BONNEVILLE Prisoner shakedowns in statecorrectional- institutions and how it can be done without a loss of dignity to the prisoner is the subject ofa film now being made by Western's educational media department. Joe Mortenson, head ofcorrectional institution training programs, saw a need for this type of film in trainee programs and hasreceived a grant for its completion. Western was asked to help with the production. Prisoner and cellsearches, called "pat downs, skin searches, and cell shakedowns" by residents, are some of the topics to be covered. "We've finished the script and are ready to film," William Gregory of the speechdepartment said. Last week Gregory visited Monroe State Penitentiary, where the film is to be made, to"audition residents" for parts. Most of the actors will be Monroe residents. The film is designed to show adult correctional institution trainees the correct way to go about prisoner and cell shakedowns. It alsois to show that a resident's dignity need not be abused in the process. As a training film, it is notintended to advocate prison policy reform, but to insure that future prison employees receive adequatetraining in this area. According to Gregory, the film will probably not be shown to Western students ingeneral, although it may be used in educational media classes. "That is, if it turns out the way we want," he added. "If it turns out to be good, it could go out of the state to be used in other training programs,"he said. AFT committee plans for strike Helping out-of-state students find housing if they are "frozenout of the dorms" by a state employes strike is the primary recommendation of an advisory committee to the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Executive Committee. The advisory committee metTuesday to consider plans to minimize any inconvenience to students during the threatened strike. Thecommittee also proposed establishing a rumor control center. These recommendations carry no weightuntil approved by the AFT Executive Committee. A spokesman for the advisory committee said theywere in "full sympathy and support for staJe employes in their efforts to gain fair and just compensationfor their work." ---------- Western Front - 1975 March 7 - Page 3 ---------- Fridayi Mar$,7, gt; 1975 Western Front Unbiased drug info offered Information . and analysis are keywords describing the Drug Information Center in Viking Union 221. The center, established in fall 1970and staffed by student volunteers, provides a variety of information and analysis of both illegal andprescription drugs. The center provides unbiased information about drugs, coordinator Marilee Fosbresaid. "We don't interject our personal feelings, either pro or con, concerning drugs," she said. Severalpamphlets, reference books and directions on where to get advice are available from the office. The druginformation literature is mainly from the "Do It Now" street drug foundation in Arizona. "We've found thatthey produce the most reliable and unbiased pamphlets around," Fosbre said. The office also enlists theuse of a physicians desk reference to prescription drugs and has available several resource people oncampus for further information. Although the center does not undertake any actual in-depth counselingactivities with people with drug problems, they refer these people to other agencies such as the on-campus counseling center and sometimes, in serious cases, to the Rising Sun Crisis Clinic. Streetdrugs are not actually analyzed by the center. They are sent by the inquirer to the Washington StateUniversity School of Pharmacy which is licensed to analyze such drugs. The center provides thenecessary forms and postage and assistance in filling out forms. A code number is given to the samplewhich is sent in by the inquirer and not the center itself. Results of the analysis are posted in thecenters by code number. "Using the code system is safer, more confidential and more comfortable forthe inquirer," Fosbre said. The center has been handling about 45 drug analyses each quarter. "We also get many calls and several people drop in every day," Fosbre said. The center plans to concentrate ontwo new programs in the future, Fosbre said. One of these is an increased alcohol information center.What to do in event of a strike GREG COHEN In the event of a strike by Western's 515 classifiedemployes the college will operate an information center throughout the strike's duration. Faculty andstudents can call the center â€” 676-3424 â€” to get accurate information about the strike and campusscheduling. Western's classified employes are among the 14,000 members of the WashingtonFederation of State Employes who were to call a strike vote last night. They are demanding an additional salary increase above the recommended 11.43 per cent average boost now being considered in the state senate. A two-thirds majority of those voting is required to call a strike. If the strike is approved, theunion's executive board would have to set a walkout time of no later than March 13 â€” the last day of the constitutional 60-day limit on the regular legislative session now in progress. The legislature is expected to go into special session immediately following its regular session, to complete its work. If the union'smembers approve a strike, it would be the first state-wide strike in the nation's history. A request byGov. Dan Evans to postpone any strike action in order to allow the legislature more time to act on state-employe pay raises was rejected Tuesday by George Masten, executive secretary of the WFSE. Theunion is seeking an additional $50 or five per cent pay raise besides the 11.43 per cent. Profs answercourse questions KAREN CRISPIEN Want to know what a teacher has to say about his course beforeyou decide to take it? The course content catalog can tell you. It is a loose-leaf binder containingquestionnaires on which instructors have described their undergraduate courses and, methods ofteaching. Funded'by Associated Students, it was designed to give instructors adequate representationand to give students increased ability to choose classes. Each questionnaire includes information suchas class format, form of evaluation, average class size, the relation of the class to the teacher's area ofspecialization, basic texts and additional reading. One of the catalog's major drawbacks is lack ofresponse, coordinator Laurie Davenport E. said. Although questionnaires are sent to all instructors fourweeks before the new quarter, only 35 to 40 per cent respond. "It's not going to be a quality programunless the faculty members cooperate," she said. "It's a student service paid for by students. If theydon't get the information they need, it's because the profs didn't respond." Davenport, a junior ineducation, began the catalog last spring on her own initiative. She found registration a mess forundergraduates, especially those trying to fulfill general requirements. Once in classes, she also foundstudents hassled by not being able to relate and having to change classes. "It's only fair that the studentknows what kind of a teacher is offering a course," she said. Davenport plans to revise "the questionnaire and begin a student evaluation form next quarter. Academic advisement counselor Lenny Gruverestimated 40 students used the catalog during registration last week. "I guess my immediate impressionis I don't feel the majority of faculty members on campus feel it's worth their bother to respond. Thestudents are somewhat misled by it from the lack of faculty members that respond to it," Gruver said.Copies of the catalog are available in the Academic Advisement Office, Old Main 430, and in theRegistration Center during registration. Two types of catalogs are at each location. One containsinformation for spring quarter. It is revised each quarter, a few weeks prior to registration. The other holds outdated material, useful in providing information about an instructor and his techniques in cases wherecurrent information is not available. Lee Mann's N.W.

Mushrooms being sold as Amanita Muscaria or Psilocybin at $60 for four ounces in vacuum-pack cans have been analyzedthrough the center. They contain no organic hallucinogen. "Instead they contain LSD," office coordinator Marilee Fosbre said. LSD has a much cheaper street price than Amanita Muscaria or psilocybin. A"hit" of LSD generally costs about $2. A l s o Phency c l i d i n e , commonly known as PCP or "AngelDust," is being sold as THC. PCP is a veterinary anesthetic, used at times to cut or substitute for otherstreet drugs. "THC costs pharmacutical companies $22 per dose to manufacture, so it is reasonable to assume there is no THC to be found on the streets," Fosbre said.

PROTECTING STUDENTS - Marilee Fosbre,current coordinator of the AS Drug Information Office, has helped protect students' health and wealth inthat position since beginning of fall quarter. Fosbre resigned her position this week, effective at the end ofthis quarter, and Dick Gilmore has been selected as interim coordinator until a new coordinator has-beennamed.

The strike, if authorized, must take place before thelegislature ends its session next Thursday, March 13. An affirmative strike vote won't necessarily meanstate employes will leave their jobs. Room for negotiation to halt the strike still exists. Some stateemployes predict a strike will occur, while other sources say a settlement will be negotiated beforehand. The strike may come into effect before classes are finished this quarter, and some professors aremaking their own arrangements with students to finish the quarter's work. The Front may be affected inits print shop operation if a strike is called by next Monday, but only for its upcoming final issue (unlessthe strike drags on through to spring quarter, which is highly unlikely). In event of a strike, the Front hasmade other printing arrangements. While every effort will be made to meet deadlines, the Front may be a day late due to the strike, coming out next Wednesday, rather than the normal Tuesday edition.COMMENT Students battle housing It's no wonder more people are trying to get away from campushousing, â€¢ considering their polipy of guilty until proven innocent. I had a personal confrontation withthis absurd policy last quarter as a resident of Birnam Wood. Housing charged my roommates and me$169.36 for a door to a vacant apartment next to us that was forced open. Nobody ever questioned usabout the door. We just got a bill one morning for damage done next door to us which included missingitems from the apartment. Housing told us they discovered the damage when they were in the process of busting a party we were having. They assumed our party was responsible for the damaged apartment.The party was small and dull and anything but rowdy. Even campus security's reasoning for busting theparty was extremely suspect. They claimed there was a complaint. The manager was contacted bysecurity. She said she received no complaints. There were also no neighbors to complain because ourlocality was one of almost complete isolation. Our few neighbors were either at the party or had gonehome for the weekend. We usually made more noise sleeping then the noise coming from our party. We then went to housing to talk to Pete Coy. He told us we would have to submit a plea to some mysticalreview board. We did this explaining we had nothing to do with the damaged apartment. The apartmentwas broken into at least a week before our party. A neighbor had discovered the door was forced open.This was all done early in the quarter. The decision of the review board hung- over our heads almost untilthe end of the quarter. The review board decided the charges against us were unjust and were dropped.Later the bill .was sent to one of our neighbors because they discovered a phone call he made from thedamaged apartment the night of our party. His appeal to the review board apparently resulted in thedropping of charges. The last bill be received from housing did not have the bill for damages tacked onlike his previous bills from housing. He assumes it means the charges have been dropped against him.Where the bill is now, only housing knows. Housing tactics appear to be an outright attempt at ripping-off students. I think a major reevaluation of housing policies is badly needed..

STREET DEAT D. STARBUCK GOODWYN The old man made wet patterns on thebar as he pushed his drink around. His hands were gnarled and broken and they slipped on the wetglass. His voice had a morbid quality. I thought he wasn't real, but I listened. "The island was to be ourBali Hai. It would be our Utopia where the ideal social order flowered and all things were right with man . . ." His voice trailed away and I thought he had finished. Not so. He was delicately probing the memorybank of some internal computer. "I still don't know what happened. We selected the members of ourgroup with care. We had artisans and artists. We made sure there were social philosophers andeconomists in the group and we had dreamers and doers. It was a carefully selected group." He waggedhis old head. It swayed back and forth mournfully on a spindly neck. "I just don't know what happened."Oh, the first years were good. Very good. Almost everybody worked, and worked hard. Even most of thedreamers worked, and there were enough of the rest working and producing to support the few that didn't, and there was little griping. Those were the good years." ***Excerpt from feature article, ArkansasGazette, December 7, 1948. ". . . Dr. Hillier, head of Art Department, University of Arkansas, continued.He said, 'Now that war is behind us, it is imperative that the U.S. tax structure provide for funding allartists and aspiring artists, in order that these members of society are able to live and work comfortably in our midst.' The Dr. then went on . . ."*** "Some things we could get cheaper on nearby islands, but when we did we fell to fighting among ourselves. Our own farmers felt we should buy from them, regardless ofthe supply or cost." ***AP article, Bellingham Herald, December 29, 1974. "President Ford betrayedcattle producers and feeders when he announced this week he will not invoke beef import quotas, thepresident of the Oregon Cattlemen's Association said . . ." He was asking foreign suppliers voluntarily tolimit shipments here."*** The old man's voice dropped. "Then more and more of our group stopped \^orkand lived off the surpluses, and the ones that continued to work wanted more and more for less and lesslabor. The surpluses dropped lower and lower." ***Excerpt from Gannett News Service, December 26,1974. "Washington State $44 million in debt (for unemployment funds) . . . and an application for another(Federal) loan is expected shortly.*** Now I had to strain to hear the old man. His voice was fading andin the shadowy bar his features were indistinct. "Then we just started kinda coming apart. Everybodyblamed everybody else for the troubles. A lot of us had a lot of different ideas about how to changethings, how to turn everything upside down and start again. We would throw out all of the old ideas, all ofthe old values and begin all over again. "There was lots of shouting and lots of grand new slogans writtenin the sand. Different groups formed, split up and reformed with others, but nothing mtich happened. "Atfirst we couldn't understand. Then we knew. If we couldn't work hard enough to make the old system work, what hope did we have in starting a new one?" I looked and the old man was gone. Only a wet ring onthe bar testified he had been there at all. Or had he? C( IETTERS Attack victim thanks security JEditor, Western Front: Over the Christmas holiday, I was involved in an attempted rape on campus. Iwas fortunate the attacker was unaware of my boyfriend's presence which foiled any further intentions.The main purpose of this letter is to warn all persons on campus to keep their doors locked at night. This can happen to you. Being wakened in the night by hearing panting coming from an intruder on your bed is a terrifying experience you will never forget. Since my attacker's arrest, it has come to light that hemade two other attempts of rape during the two nights previous to me. This brings me to perhaps themost important reason behind this letter. That is to sincerely thank the campus Safety and Security fortheir unbelievably fast response to our call for help. The security man who answered the call was MarkWheatley. Mark stayed with us, reassuring us, filling us with coffee for our shattered nerves andgenerally just being there. In light of all that's happened, I have at least gained the reassurance ofknowing that when and if trouble strikes, help is seconds away thanks to campus security.

Pinball wizards should head up to the Vancouver Art Gallery for pinball exhibition andcompetition. The exhibition, titled "Tilt," consists of pinball machines dating from 1931 to.1958. Theexhibition consists of machines contributed by Pat McCathy, who has been interested in pinballmachines as a form of kinetic art for a long time. The machines range from simple wire boxes tomachines that resemble small computer banks. Some machines that are operating are free and can beplayed as long as you want. The exhibit ends March 16. The competition, the Vancouver Art GalleryPinball Open Championship, is limited to 200 persons. Eliminations begin March 10 and will be playedon 10 pre-determined machines. Each player will get a chance to play two games. Judging will be doneon score and style of play. Style includes how you work the flippers, your stance, and generally the wayyou attack the game. The finals will be open to the public and will feature the winners of the eliminationrounds. There will be four machines used. Each player will play one game on each machine. Highesttotal score wins. The judges include a couple of pinball wizards in their own right. They are CharleyFarrero, Parisian pinball champ and owner of the Flipside Gallery, David Melle, a player of 12 years whoholds a 10-game-for-a-quarter record on a Williams Triple Action, and Ralph Winfield, a specialist in coinoperated games, just to keep things honest. If you think that, you have magic fingers then the Vancouver Art Gallery can give you a chance to test your flipper finesse against others equally addicted to thebouncing ball. Or you can just spend a fun afternoon playing free pinball to your heart's content. Thegallery is in downtown Vancouver, 1145 W. Georgia. South Sea nature in Vancouver Palm trees swaygently in the breeze and tropical birds-chirp in the tree tops. The sweet smell of strange flowers fills theair. Tangerines hang from trees and you have an urge to pick one and bite into it. This paradise ofsights, sounds and smells isn't on some far off South Sea Island, but is in Bloedel Conservatory located in Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver. This greenhouse sits on a hill in the geographic center ofVancouver and is a triodetic dome 140 feet in diameter and 50 feet high. A display area of 15,386square feet is divided into two distinct areas. In one area is a large assortment of tropical plants. Thereare banana trees and palms, plus large and small ferns. Intermingled between these are exotic lookingplants with exotic sounding names. The other area is where the cacti are displayed. There are tall ones, short ones, those in bloom and others that gain their beauty from being twisted and gnarled. Theconservatory even has a small suspended bamboo bridge, a waterfall and two large brightly coloredmacaws to add to its atmosphere. The cost to visit this fascinating paradise of plants is 65 cents foradults and 25 cents for students. Through the winter months the conservatory is open from 10 a.m. to5:30 p.m. (Canadian time) each day, seven days a week. The conservatory is reached by heading intoVancouver on Highway 99. This highway leads into Granville Street or Oak Street. Head north on eitherstreet and turn right on 33rd Avenue and head east. CKLGâ€”rockers walk out RICK DONKER Threatsof violence, thrown eggs and verbal insults have been directed against strikers walking a picket lineoutside radio station CKLG in their effort to unionize that station in Vancouver, B.C. The strike startedoff on a defiant note Feb. 1 when the employes walked off the job leaving a militant union song playingfor over an hour. Richard Hughes, strike manager, said violence and harassment against the strikershas been on the increase. "Someone is afraid that we might actually pull this thing off," he said. Thestation is run in a dictatorial manner, Hughes said. "There is absolutely no job security, you could befired at any time for no reason at all." "We have had a lot of support from the public," he said. Therehave been various benefits throughout the city to help raise funds for the out-of-work strikers. "I can't u n d e r s t a n d where the opposition is coming from, mainly I think it is from management ormanagement people," Hughes said. Although the strike has received a lot of publicity so far, there havebeen little changes in either the strikers' or management's positions. The strikers plan to stay out aslong as necessary and management refuses to accept any thoughts of unionization. "It's not a matter of if we win, it is a matter of when we win," Hughes said. CKLG broadcasts on both AM and FM and isone of the most popular stations playing rock and roll in the area. The station is run by Don Hamilton,vice president of the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB), the powerful organization ofbraodcasting interests. CAB has a long history of campaigning against unions in the broadcast industry. Benefits that Hughes thinks can be gained by a successful strike include a five-day work week,stopping the revolving door policy of hiring, job security and professional wages. "Mainly what we want is braodcasters having a voice in broadcasting, we don't have that now," Hughes said. This strike isimportant because, if it is successful, it could mean unionization of many radio stations throughoutCanada, Hughes said. "We are a test case," he said. "If we are successful there are going to be a lot ofchanges in t h e Canadian broadcast industry." ^QNT/ftfy CENTER Stanley Park; a place for peopleoffers relaxation, entertainment Stanley Park is living proof a big-city park can provide a source ofentertainment for people and not a source of income for muggers. The park, on the edge of Vancouver'sbusiness district, offers scenic and recreational relief from the hussle and hassle of big-city living. It isplanned to use all of its natural landscape. There are many wooded trails for the Sunday stroller andhorse lover. The trails are extensive, many are miles long. They are well kept making them not onlybeautiful but easy to hike along. You don't have to be a mountain climber to enjoy a walk in the woods.The park also utilizes the many miles of natural waterfront as a natural boundary. It provides a scenicdrive for the park traffic as well as a beach area for those who enjoy the water. Besides the naturalbeauty of the park, there is an excellent zoo and aquarium. The zoo covers a good portion of the parkand features animals native to the Pacific as well as an assortment of more exotic animals. Theaquarium is one of the best on the west coast featuring all kinds of aquatic curiosities including tropicalfish, giant sea turtles, and a few whales that perform some unusual tricks in a daily show. The park also features extensive picnic areas, a swimming area and a replica of an Indian village. The best aspect ofthe park, though, that it appears well planned and kept up. It is a model of what good planning and a lotof care can accomplish. Stanley Park is also an excellent spot to kill a good bottle of wine and watchthe pigeons go by. POLAR BEARS â€” "Ugh. Here come those crazy people again. You'd think they'dnever seen polar bears before!" The Stanley Park zoo has several polar bears on exhibit. Other animalsinclude penguins, otters, kangaroos, seals and a collection of many others from several different climates. ---------- Western Front - 1975 March 7 - Page 6 ---------- Western Front Friday, March 7,1975 "MOVIES Adventure becomes nightmare BRUCE HAYES"Deliverance," this Sunday's movie in the Music Auditorium, is a bomb. Not one good thing can be saidabout it. This is sad because it had a lot going for it such as exciting stars like Jon Voight and BurtReynolds and an even more exciting story. The plot concerns a group of four city men who decide tocanoe down a wild, picturesque Southern river soon to disappear behind a dam. But what starts out asfun and adventure soon turns into a nightmare. Nature and man join forces dealing injury and death tothe four main characters. Unfortunately, it is handled badly. The relatively simple s t o r y is given loftyphilosophical pretentions. This doesn't help the light scenes go together with the more depressing grimones. The acting is flat and one-dimensional which makes t h e c h a r a c t e r s seem stereotyped.There is a macho he-man (Reynolds), a fat obnoxious slob, an average t y p e , and a pretentious"everyman" (Voight). V o i g h t c a m e to "Deliverance" from the triumph of "Midnight Cowboy," butthere is no evidence of his strong talent here. Reynolds had never had a better role and it was hischance to prove he was an actor. He didn't. There are also the typical supporting characters, from thesilent, mysterious backwoods people to the suspicious red-neck sheriff. One big problem is the film istoo long. It could have ended in at least half a dozen places in the last section. And throughout its length there are scenes that are really irrelevant to the plot and only succeed in slowing things down, such asthe "Dueling Banjos" sequence. f "Deliverance" will be shown at 6:30 and 9 p.m. Admission is 75 cents.

WESTERN DANCE ENSEMBLE presents A DANCE CONCERT FRIDAY SATURDAY, MARCH 7 8 Music Auditorium - 8:15 p.m. General Admission 1.00; Students .50Golden Agers Free N M ChoHUlwyr *2coaplÂ«U Leopold Unpredictable artist set PATTI JONESRichard Beyer, the artist who brought us "The Cougar and the Trapper" and "Einstein and the Crows," isunpredictable. He values his freedom. His work often touches on the erotic, the controversial.Conservative art planners who want to secure themselves from embarrassment find him "unsafe." ButBeyer didn't start out that way. He studied economics at the University of Washington and secured anice, safe job at Boeing. During these years, however, he was discontent. He quit his job at Boeing afterthree years to become a full-time "sardonic artist." Art is a labor of communication which is at its bestwhen the artist is dissatisfied, Beyer said. "Through the symbolic construction of your reality, you cancreate in your world a security which is not given to you," he said. "Art gives value, design and meaningto the artist's life position and serves society as a whole." Beyer's creations often involve a bold mixtureof irony, imagination, truth and the seemingly absurd. He is everything one would expect the creator of"The Cougar and the Trapper" to be, warm and quick-witted with a rare conciousness of the world aroundhim. Usually dressed in a pendleton jacket, jeans, and hiking boots, he has the appearance of awoodsman. Scott Lawrence--an easy.c STEVE ADAMS Scott Lawrence's climb to the top of musicstardom as a pianist was unlike most of today's once-starving rockers. It was merely jamming a fewtimes with his brother-in-law, Jesse Colin Young, he said S a t u r d a y night at the ParamountNorthwest, Seattle. "Jesse married my sister when I was 10, so I've known him a long time," said thelittle-known piano player. Lawrence, 23, has been with Collins' band since it formed in 1969. Before that,he played with small bands that could never seem to stay together while playing clubs and small jobs.During this time Young was making it big with the Youngbloods, a band he formed with Banana and JoeBauer. After they broke up in late 1968, Jesse looked for a eew band and a new musical direction. "Ididn't get together ^ith him (Young) 'til I moved out to California in 1969. We started jammin' and prettysoon I said, 'Wow, this man's havin' fun play in' rock 'n roh," Lawrence said with a smile. If Lawrencesuddenly became interested in a fiew musical direction, Young changed his even more. "Jessediscovered he was having more fun with Â»Jeff (Myers, drums), Earthquake (harmonica) and myself than he was with the Youngbloods," Lawrence said. m Where does the camping trip end... and thenightmare begin...?

As a result, he often spendsmore money on a job than he receives. He sells most of his work through commissions. Why doesn't hesign his name to any of his work? "If the work is good and has meaning to others, it is theirs and notmine," Beyer said. "Einstein and the Crows" was created in Beyer's workshop in Seattle. He tookpictures of a crow in all its various positions and then developed and outlined the pictures to producestencils. The crows were silk-screened onto green bricks. When the bricks were fired and oxidized, theyturned red and the crows turned black. Einstein was created in a similar way. Using a postage stampwith a picture of Einstein on it as a reference, Beyer drew a picture of the famous scientist on a greenbrick and then fired it. Soon after the work had been placed in the archway of Miller Hall, someone stole"Einstein." Beyer chuckles now when he reflects back upon having had to make a second "Einstein." "Ihad to go out and buy a new stamp," he said. What does he think of our campus? The campus, with itsgreat diversity of art work, is "exciting," Beyer said. It openly explores the question of what is art? Music department gives jazz concerts Western's budding new jazz program has scheduled two concerts forMarch. Students from the jazz composition, arranging and improvisation class will perform, as well asthe Tuesday-Thursday Jazz Workshop Band. T o d a y , t h e j a zz improvisation class will give the first concert at 7 p.m. in the Concert Hall. This concert is free. There will be three groups playing, all underthe direction of Fred Raulston. These ensembles will be performing original works as well as pieces byother composers. First to perform is the "Last Chance Jazz Ensemble." They will do two original pieces. One by Frank Gilbertj the guitar player for the group, entitled "Munchkin Express," and the other byPhred Berman, a sax player, called "Figurin' Out." "Impressions," a number which incorporates twosingers will be done by the second ensemble. The third group is performing a Freddie Hubberd n u m be r - c a l l e d "Little Sunflower." rrjb to the top Young's music has been through a considerable change * since his Youngblood days. In place of songs of peace and social . changes are songs of a love fornature and family. ** "My part on earth is to play music and the highest thing I could do with my life is to tell others they are a part of God's * world. Jesse feels the same way, I'm sure. Listen to "Light Shine"or "Come On People," he said. * Last summer the band played the opening act on the Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young reunion tour. When asked if * they received a bad time from audiences demanding that group, he said, "We never got a crowd that wasn't ready to * listen. I really got off on it and I think thepeople did too. Bill Graham did a great job of organizing and planning the tour." Seattle was the thirdcity in a total of 56 the band will be playing in with their new three * month tour. "The world is a fixableplace. I want to show people Â» that with a little love for each other, we can change it around," Lawrence said. Interpretation in dance Whether it's portraying a golden cloud-filled sunset, dealing with thefrustrations of human relations or making a statement about Western's recent sculpture, it can all beinterpreted through dance. And that's exactly what Western's Concert Dance Ensemble will do. Theensemble will celebrate their merger with the theater department in their annual concert this weekend.Dance '75 is the theme for the concert. A variety of new and old concepts in dance should contribute to an entertaining concert. Highlighting Dance '75 will be a piece choreographed by Rick Fite, a teacher of dance in Bellevue and Seattle.

Free tuition possibility for elderly The Washington House of Representatives has approved a measure to grant free tuition to residents over the age of 60. to attend Western and other state colleges and universities. Rep. Art Moreau, D, Bellingham, is a co-sponsor of the proposal which passed 92-6.Tuition wavers would be granted on a space-available basis, Moreau said. The cost to the state, if any,would be negligible. In sponsoring the bill, Moreau said, "More and more senior citizens are enrichingtheir lives through education and this measure will open the door even wider to persons on limitedincomes." Having older students on c a m p u s , Moreau said, contributes in many important ways tothe learning experience of younger students.

Western will not be left out, if history professor Keith Murray has his way.Murray is chairman of a bicentennial committee which has applied to have Western designated as abicentennial college. "I don't know if this is far-fetched or not," Murray said. "We haven't got any h i s t o r y , as far as the r e v o l u t i o n a r y war is concerned." The bicentennial committee will send inproposals which it hopes will be approved and funded. The proposals include lectures, displays ofhistorical material, music and drama festivals, and arts and grafts of the revolutionary period. Thecommittee's main concern is to appeal for money, Murray said. The National Bicentennial Committee"has a couple hundred thousand dollars to peddle around." The proposals are to be designated as towhether to deal with the past, the present or the future. The past would deal with the RevolutionaryTWmOM! HBf 'Tl* (176 AMD AA/ 4ODD son* An" War, while the present would involve the environmentand ecology among other things. If Western were designated a bicentennial college, something p e r ma n e n t would be constructed or created â€” probably art - to remain after the bicentennial, Murray said. The bicentennial committee is composed of Murray, eight other faculty members and three studentrepresentatives. The committee will operate and oversee bicentennial activities from this March 16through March 15, 1977.

Above and clockwise fromleft, referee Charley Files motions a pushing foul while a Vikette fan gasps at the play. Coach LyndaGoodrich offers advice on the call, then settles back to talk with her eyes. Women gun for regional titleMONA JOHNSON It isn't easy to be number one, or "No-ka-hoi!" as the Vikettes say, because someone is always trying to gun you down. The Vikette basketball squad, two-time defending regional champ,is in Ellensburg this weekend seeking its third straight regional title and a third consecutive trip tonationals. But the Viks will go as the number two representative of the Northern-Southern District afterbeing upset 58-48 by a psyched-up Portland Staty University (PSU) team in the district title match atCarver Gym last weekend. Coach Lynda Goodrich's Viks have utilized a blitzing fastbreak and a toughperson-to-person defense to post a 16-8 record, including a 56-35 win over PSU earlier in the season.PSU won the title game by completely shutting off Western's fast break. And, as Western guardCharmon Odle said, "When the fast break doesn't seem to go, nothing else works either." Although theWashington State Cougars and Western have faced each other in the regional title game the past fouryears, this could be the year that neither of them makes the finals. Their domination of the Northwestcollege women's circuit could come to a halt. The Cougars dropped the Eastern District title contest 65-49 to Boise State University. They are in the .same boat as the Viks, representing their district asnumber two. Western takes its worst season record in four years to the regionals. The Viks were 22-5 in 1974, 26-2 in 1973, and 22-1 in 1972. Western's leading scorer, Diane Bjerke, said early in the seasonwhen the Viks were 4-4, that the team record would have little bearing on regionals because the teamwas "getting better and better, and Lynda (Goodrich) coaches us to peak at regionals." Indeed, theVikette record has improved since then. When the Cougars invaded Carver Gym to defeat the Viks 57-53, WSU coach Sue Durrant said the "title is really up for grabs" among at least four teams, includingWSU, BSU, PSU and Western. Western has the talent with starters Odle, Bjerke, Claudia Haaker andBethany Kyals, all averaging in double figures in the scoring department. They are not blessed with asabundant heighth as PSU and WSU, but they are determined on the boards and block out effectively.Western is one of the few teams in the northwest region that uses a person-to-person defense. And it isusually a tight one, led by the thievery of guards Odle and Dee Dee Molner. Perhaps the greatestweakness of the Viks is they appear to lose their poise and confidence at times, which is often crucial inmoments. To take regionals they will not only need to run that flashy fastbreak and control the tempo,they will have to be consistent and hang together in the tight spots. All of the top four teams are fairlyevenly matched and none of the teams have proven to dominate over the others during the season. Thechampionship hardware and the trip to nationals will probably go to the squad that endures the longestmentally. Western, "No-ka-hoi!"

"It will take six weeks for the scar tissue to heal and anothersix weeks before he can start exercising at all," Doris said. As to when Randall will be able to resumeteaching, she noted, "It's a matter of waiting. We'll just have to see." Randall was not the only Viking toreceive post-season honors. Viking guard Chuck Price was selected with Oregon Tech forward HerbMcEachin to the All-Evco basketball team for the second straight year. Price, a 6-1 senior, led Western in scoring with a 14.8 average, while 6-5 McEachin averaged 13.3 points and 10.2 rebounds for theOwls. R o n Cox, E a s t e rn Washington's 6-6 sophomore, is at center. Cox led the league inrebounding with a 12.8 average and in field goal percentage (.599) while scoring 15.8 points a game.Rounding out the All-Evco f i r s t team are Central Washington's 6-0 junior guard Steve Page and 6-5forward Les Wyatt, and Oregon Tech's 5-9 junior guard Jeri Marshall.

"The straight line is," the coach's wife paused a moment in thought, "well, it's just Charlie's way of doing things. He always thought the individual'sbrain had to take precedence over what someone else says; let the player use his own head." InLappenbusch's "Straight Line Football,Offense," the coach says: "The offensive football player is not amaterialistic object. He must not be pushed around like a checker on a checkerboard because he willlose individual initiative and confidence. "Men guided by * a sound "philosophy and a sound religion (asopposed to an altruistic religion) are individually, collectively and ' thereby strategically more effectivethan are individuals directed by a system governed by a dictator, providing the philosophy used caneffectively reduce natural and deliberate confusion." The principles of straight line involve three distifictdimensions: time, area and enclosure. Strategy wise, the straight line makes use of pinnate angles (likethe veins of a leaf, all running to a central line) which theoretically illustrate lines of pursuit which playersemploy to get "on the beam." The beam is an imaginary line and shortest distance from the ball to thegoal line. The pinnate angles are used to control the field of play (enclosure) for a certain length of timeby focusing on the specific positions and concentration of players from both teams in a given section ofthe enclosure (area). In football offense, the pinnate angles illustrate the most practical blocking angles to remove defensive players from the beam. Defensively, in both football and basketball, the anglesillustrate a "funnel and attack" process which allows the straight line team to condense and control anarea of play. Under the straight line no one is told "on this play you do this or that." Rather, the playersare asked to rely on anticipatory judgement to act and react on a play. The base rule of straight line playis "if you don't know what you're doing, get out of the way, but don't get in the way of one of yourteammates trying to cover." The strategy is called straight line because all the maneuvers of play stemfrom the theoretical straight line "beam." Players are asked to give 100 per cent effort to a team orientedprocess where everyone helps each other out. Since the straight line relies on individual judgment andreaction rather than pre-set player assignments, the element of confusion is scaled down, simply because a player has fewer things to think about. All one has to know to play straight line style is his right fromhis left, and which direction his team is going. "In the straight line you do more than just think, you smellit out," coach Lappenbusch said, "using all the concepts and precepts available to the human mind."Rather than base maneuvers on past knowledge you should depend on natural, flexible, progressiveadjustments. "No system can survive against the process of the human cortex," Lappenbusch said. "It'sa result of human development; if you want to survive you have to be able to adapt. With someone elsealways dictating, you can become a slave to stupidity as easily as dictatorship." Winning, of course, is a desireable objective in using the straight line style of play, but as the saying goes, "winning isn'teverything." "It seems like today there's too much emphasis put on product instead of process andprinciple," Lappenbusch said. "When you win, you should never take the ball home. That's taking toomuch away from the other team. The game belongs just as much to them as it does to the winners."Systems put emphasis on winning," he said. "What matters is the way you go about it. Systems can bevery dehumanizing and it's terrible when you can't treat another person like a human being. I don't likesubserviency of any kind, especially when a philosophy would work better."

WRAP JOB â€” Western trainer RalphBeaufort applies tape to the ankle of Jim Sterk, Viking football and basketball player, in the varsitytraining room. Trainer's job is hobby TIM JOHNSON Ralph Beaufort feels a need for what he is doing.Beaufort, athletic trainer for Western, said he enjoys his work because he likes helping people and it lets him work with his hands. His job involves the care of injuries and getting an athlete back in conditionafter sustaining one. "It gives me a good feeling, to see someone put in a great performance aftercoming off an injury," Beaufort said. He does not always have contact with any one team, but keepsregular hours in the varsity training room during the week. He goes on trips when his schedule permits."If I had to keep up with all the events," Beaufort said, "I wouldn't have time to care for the injuries thatcome up during the day." He rarely went with the basketball team because of their long road trips butplans to travel with track this spring and possibly with cross country next fall. Beaufort, a freshman,became interested as a trainer while a manager for the football team at Mercer Island High School. Forthe two years Beaufort worked with the a t h l e t i c trainer, becoming familiar with injuries and how tocare for them.

Discussing the field as a career, Beaufort said full-time trainers are certified by the NationalAthletic Trainers Association (NATA). To obtain the skills needed, some learn through apprenticeshipsor through college programs. There are currently two institutions that offer a masters degree in athletictraining. To obtain certification a written exam given by the NATA must be passed. In addition toworking with athletes, trainers often teach classes in athletic training and conditioning.

Western's faculty threatened a walk out last quarter, following House passage ofa bill that provided for a 10 per cent faculty salary increase to be distributed on the basis of merit raise.This was regarded by, faculty spokesmen as "gross discrimination" by the legislature. Due to thealmost single-handed efforts of Rep. Art Moreau, D-Bellingham, the faculty rejected the strike. Moreaucalmed faculty unrest .with assurances that the legislature was aware of faculty dissatisfaction andplanned to take action. These promises were fulfilled with the passage of a 12 per cent cost of livingincrease, which became effective March 1. But the majority of the faculty members are still dissatisfied,according to Mark Wicholas, American Federation of Teachers (AFT) president. Wicholas said the 12per cent increase does not "even come close" to eliminating Western's salalry deficiencies. He said a 17 per cent increase would be needed merely to raise Western to the median level o ta recently completedseven-state survey of faculty salaries. ANOTHER FACULTY SETBACK came Thursday with the failure of the faculty Collective Bargaining bill in the Council on Higher Education (CHE). The measure failed byone vote. It may, iiowever, be reconsidered. "It is dying," Wicholas said, "but not dead." Harry Jackson,American Association of University Professors AAUP) president, said the faculty is carefully followingdevelopments in Olympia, particularly the biennial budget currently under consideration. "We've heardin the halls of Olympia that there may be a salary increase in the 76 budget," Jackson said. "But thenthat is just hall talk." There is a $70 million contingency fund under consideration in the biennial budgetwhich could provide for a six per cent salary raise for state employes, including state faculty members. .For the present, the faculty will ,appar-ently continue to watch and wait. In the future, however, should the legislature remain insensitive to faculty dissatisfaction, another strike vote at Western would be adefinite possibility, Wicholas said. Q) * Ten Cents C western . front FRIDAY, APRIL 11,1975 Vol.67Nd.35 Bulletin Yesterday afternoon the legislature re-instated money for the Fairhaven Bridge Project totaling $365,000. An attempt to restore money for the aquatic studies program at Anacortes failedby a vote of 11 to 80. Budget problems persist SPRING OUTBACK - With the coming of spring,Buchanan Tower residents can view the progress of Fairhaven's Outback Program. Future plans of theOutback members include a barn raising, windmill construction, and a sweet pea garden. DENNISRITCHIE WESTERN MAY BE getting more money from the state legislature but for a bigpriceâ€”higher tuition and fees. With the state budget becoming larger than originally proposed, atax increase of some sorts is imminent. Hikes in the cost of tuition and fees are being considered by the legislature as one way of increasing state revenues. A bill that could conceivably double tuition andfees has been introduced in the Senate. However, the bill's author, Sen. Harry Lewis, has admitted hedoes not expect the bill to pass. He said in an interview Wednesday that he introduced the bill as anidea that should be discussed more in the future. The bill would require the student to pay 50 per cent of the cost of putting him through college. Presently, students pay between 22 and 24 per cent of thetotal costs per student. STUDENTS WOULD NOT have to suffer the increase immediately. A studentcould sign a bill promising to pay the increased amount in six years. An increase could push yearlyrates up to $856 at Western. . Lewis said the bill reflects his belief the student should absorb inflation inthe cost of education. "There's nothing wrong in asking students to absorb the costs from which theyare benefiting. The taxpayers would still pay 50 Der cent of the costs," he said. "Statistics show persons with college education earn approximately $200,000 more than they would without a degree." Thelikelihood of such a bill passing this session is slim, according to several legislators and observers.However, the bill does reflect the thinking that a tuition increase might be necessary if colleges are toreceive more money than originally proposed by House leadership. The original proposal, drawn up byRep. John Bagnariol, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and Rep. A. N. "Bud"Shinpoch, would give Western $1.8 million more than ii received this biennium, but $944,000 less thanrequested by the governor. MUCH OF THE increase would be eaten by inflation. The biggest blow toWestern was a reduction in faculty staffing from 75 to 72 percent of an "ideal" student-teacher formula. A higher percentage of formula means more faculty members for any given enrollment. Money waseliminated in the proposal for the Fairhaven Bridge Project and the aquatic studies program at theSundquist Marine Laboratory at Shannon Point near Anacortes. College President Charles J. Floraemphasized, Wednesday, the laboratory would not close down if funds were not provided. The laboratory would operate out of Western's regular operating budget. Only the aquatic studies program would beslashed. However, Flora was quite optimistic that the budget proposals and a higher percentage offormula could be tacked onto the budget as amendments on the floor of either the Senate or theHouse. i l l S i d C â€¢ â€¢ Western opens its doors to prison release program s J â€¢ i â€ž..* ...

J ---------- Western Front - 1975 April 11 - Page 2 ---------- 2, Western Front friday/ApriMtj W5 Western hosts felon release program SUZANNE SCHILZ ATRAINING RELEASE program for felons is now underway at Western's Highland Hall after three years ofplanning The single wing on the bottom floor of Highland Hall houses the residence and offices of theproject. There was a flurry of activity last week as residents arrived, got settled and registered forclasses. Three participants, two from Monroe and one from Walla Walla, arrived last week to participatein the Project for Early Release of Felons for Education Through a Consortium of Training (ProjectPERFECT.) Three more are expected to arrive within two weeks. Six residents are the maximum theprogram can now accommodate. Western, Bellingham Vocational Technical Institute and WhatcomCommunity College will provide training for the participants. At present, two will be attending theVocational Institute to study boat building and restaurant management. One is a junior in sociology atWestern. A community-based correction program in Bellingham was first suggested by CollegePresident Charles J. Flora. The project is funded by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and the Department of Social and Health Services. Participants in the project were "highly screened," saidPeter Mussel white, project parole officer. The Bellingham Police Department and Campus Safety andSecurity helped with the screening along with the project coordinator, counselor and parole officer. Thechoice of residents was based on motivation to complete their education, a high success factor, and asolid means of financial support, Musselwhite said. All participants were minimum security prisonersand would soon be up for parole. They are still accountable to their institutions while at ProjectPERFECT. The project is one of 20 similar work/training release programs around the state. "The long-range goal of community based corrections," Musselwhite said, "is to have only one maximum securityprison in the state and have many small community programs." "A crime committed in the communitymust be taken csre of in the community," said MusselwhKe. "Locking the person WILLIAM NIcNEILLaway protects society for awhile but the person will eventually be in society again and may commitanother crime." Project Coordinator William McNeill said prisons are "a big mistake." Both conservativeand liberal thinkers are realizing they are ineffective as punishment, he said. ^ Community-basedtraining release provides a structured program for the participant to re-enter society. Prisons "bootthe guy out with 40 bucks and tell him to make it," Musselwhite said, "and it doesn't work." ProjectPERFECT is one of the strictest programs in the state, Musselwhite said. TWENTY-FOUR HOURsupervision, curfews, checking in and out or the facility, head counts and room searches, are some ofthe security measures applied. A seven-phase "graduated responsibility program" increases theresidents' social outing time and awards other privileges based on his performance. Residents must beaccompanied by a staff member or a "sponsor" on all social outings. A sponsor is any person over 18without a police record who has signed up and been approved at the project office. Interested studentsare invited to stop by and meet the residents, McNeill said. Dean starch... Affirmative action effortsfailing In spite_of extra efforts towards affirmative action, about 95 per cent of the applications receivedby the Fairhaven Dean Selection Committee were from white males. Assistant Dean for StudentAffairs, Dick Norris, said, "We did more than the bare minimum to comply with the law." He estimatedeight out of ten ads placed were in publications aimed at minorities or women. Fairhaven received 350 inquiries from the ads. One hundred two people have submitted active files with references and awritten response to the job description. Applicants are from all parts of the country and most areworking in col leges teaching or administrating. Fairhaven received 20 inquiries from women. "If there's a well qualified woman's application, she'll nave a good chance," Norris said. "The position isn't thetype minorities and women would be interested in," he said. "Highly qualified minorities just aren't thatinterested in experimental education." The selection committee will begin reading the applicationsthis week. Community members may read the applications but anyone who wishes to discuss a fileat meetings must have read all of the files scheduled for discussion at that meeting. One candidate saidthat having the files open violated thecivil rights of reference writers and withdrew his application.The committee hopes to read and discuss all of the files by late April or early May. After narrowing thefield down to about four or five qualified applicants, they hope to hold interviews in late May. r Fairhavenco-op sharing good life MARTHA MAY LIVING IN A cooperative dorm is like living in a big house with afamily, according to people who live there. "It's really comfortable to live around here," Michele Rudnickof the Coop in Fairhaven dorm three said. "When I was moving in, people were really friendly. Aboutevery five minutes people would come up and say "Hi! You must be Michele." ^ xl_ ,Â«. Rudnick movedto Coop three because the thought of living in a regular dorm, eating food, at best knowing yourneighbor on each side, didn't thrill me too much." She liked the idea of cooperative living and beingresponsible for herself. "I just like working with people and taking care of myself more than being takencare of," she said. Eighteen people live in the dorm, and there are three others that eat there but don'tlive in the dorm. This is the second Of two cooperative dorms at Fairhaven. The first, Coop five, has 31boarders. People in both dorms believe Coop five has more people than Coop three because five has one large central kitchen in the bottom of the dorm. This makes it easier to cook for large^groups of people. Coop three still doesn't have a central kitchen and is cooking in the small, apartment kitchens in thedorm. They hope to have a lage kitchen built this summer. ONE PROBLEM WITH not having the central kitchen is it draws people apart because there's no central gathering area, Rudnick said. Coop threehas a number of quarterly, monthly and weekly positions to insure that everything runs smoothly.Quarterly positions include the conspiracy person, who orders bulk food items; housing liaison, who is in charge of dorm housing and handles the Western Housing office; and a bookkeeper, who is in chargeof food money. A food coordinator is selected monthly to keep track of what kinds of food are available and coordinate the menu. A food manager is chosen weekly to do the shopping. He picks an assistant,who becomes the food manager the following week. Everyone in the dorm signs a cooperative dormcontract. The rent, about $70, is considerably less than other on-campus housing. Everyone in the dormis expected to work seven hours a week to help keep the dorm clean. Everyone pays $10 a week forfood, and each person is expected to help cook about once every two weeks. Usually two people cookand three clean-up after dinner. Everyone washes their own dinner dishes. ONE ADVANTAGE to havingrotating cooks is a large variety of menus. Rudnick said "I'm eating things I've never had before, andreally enjoying them too." dmâ€” Everyone gets his own breakfast and lunch and only dinner is eatentogether. Some Western students live in the Coop as well as Fairhaven students. Myles Boisen said it is hard to compare coop life to regular dorm life because its totally different in the coop. Boisen lives inCoop three. Rudnick summed it up by saying "I know everyone in this dorm. Can you say that aboutyour dorm?" ---------- Western Front - 1975 April 11 - Page 3 ---------- Friday ^ApfiM 1^1^75 Western Front 3 House to decide on rope low: future uncertain BECKY FOX THEBILL DESIGNED to revise the state's rape laws, while still in limbo, is nearing the end of its four monthtrek through the legislature. p i p i i i i r t i i ? ; IllpMiii^ â€¢M **Â» ^,MiiiiSiiipiiftÂ» SHBtH l i l i i i i i | l ii l i i w l l W i ; : : / : . . Â« ' , Approved by the Washington House of Representatives last month, the billpassed the state Senate unanimously last week. However, the Senate version differs from the House's and it is now up to the House to decide the bill's fate. Should they concur with the Senate version, thebill will be sent directly to the governor. If they recede, a conference committee, composed of. membersfrom both houses, will be formed to work out the disagreements. The bill sets up three degrees of rape,removes the burden of proof from the victim and prohibits the use of the victim's past sexual behavior asevidence. First degree rape applies when the perpetrator uses a deadly weaon, kidnaps or inflictsserious physical injury to the victim. First degree rape would be a felony punishable by imprisonment inthe state penitentiary for a maximum term of 20 years with no deferred or suspended sentences exceptfor commitment to a treatment facility. Second degree rape, involving forcible compulsion or if the victimis physically helpless or mentally incapacitated, would carrry a maximum term of 10 years. Third degree rape* involving lack of consent by the victim (expressed clearly through words or conduct), or threat ofsubstantial harm, would carry a maximum term of five years. STATUTORY RAPE IS also divided intothree degrees: the first applying to victims less than 11-years-old, the second when the victim is 11 to 14-years-old and the third when the victim is 14 to 16-years-old. Perhaps even more significant are theprovisions for the victim. A person can be convicted of rape or attempted rape "solely by theuncorroborated testimony of the alleged victim" under the bill. It also states, "Evidence of the victim'spast sexual behavior, including but not limited to, the victim's marital behavior, divorce history orgeneral reputation for promiscuity, nonchastity or sexual mores contrary to community standards isinadmissable to prove the victim's consent . . ." All these provisions came out in their entirety from boththe House and Senate, But the bill has undergone some changes in the Senate Judiciary Committee. .The new bill, as it passed the House, redefines marriage and excludes "spouses legally married but living apart after the commencement of dissolution or separate maintenance proceedings . . ." The Senate bill eliminates this provision and makes it impossible for a woman, in the process of divorce to charge herhusband with rape. Mary Kay Becker, D-Bellingham, does not favor this change. "INv3 seen it happenbefore," she said. "A couple is going through a divorce and he wi gt;Kbreak into the house and rape her." Becker is one of the bill's sponsors. JACKIE GRISWOLD OF the Seattle Women's Commission, whohas worked the last two years in the drafting and-legal processes of this bill, views the Senate changeas unfortunate. Although Griswold said the Senate version is a "workable bill," she also said the onlyreal controversy remains on the marital question. "But that simply means we'll have to go and gathermore concrete information to see what the extent of this problem is," she said. "If it proves to besignificant, we'll be back next year." There are no statistics on this kind of rape now, Griswold said,because under current law the woman cannot prosecute. "But," she said, "we know it happens." Another change is the admissability of the victim's past sexual behavior as evidence in the case. The sectionprohibiting the use of this information was amended in the judiciary committee to add a provisionallowing for secret hearings when the defense attorney wants it. The judge would then decide if theinformation was relevant. "This is not what we would like to have but then it might not be that damagingeither," Becker said. The information could be obviously relevant, such as if the woman has had sexualrelations with the defendant regularly. IT IS NOW up to the bill's House sponsor, Rep. Ed Seeberger, D-Yakima, to make a recommendation to either concur or recede. The House will probably go along withhis suggestion, Becker said. Seeberger said Thursday he plans to concur with the Senate version, "Myfirst inclination was to fight "em," he said. "It's not quite what I wanted but I decided to concur because itis not that bad." There is now a 24- hour rape relief phone line for rape victims: 676-1175.' Bellingham's Rape Relief program, co-sponsored by the Elizabeth Blackwell Brigade and the YWCA and fundedby a grant from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, has finally begun. Ten women havebeen trained as rape "advocates." Advocates respond to calls from rape victims and are prepared tooffer Hot line for rape crisis opens in Belling ham whatever assistance the victim wants. They havereceived training in basic counseling, listening and feed-back skills, plus medical and legalinformation. Advocates will see that the victim gets medical attention, and accompany herthroughout the police interviews and prosecution procedure, if she wants advocate support. JudySimmer, director of the program, plans to talk with people at Western about various rape preventionplans such as establishing a transit system between the campus and downtown after 6 p.m.,offering more self-defense classes, having a place to sell whistles to women, and making sure campussecurity is aware of the hot line and advocacy program. Rape Relief will also work with the policedepartment to promote cooperation. The police have agreed to ask no questions about a rapevictim's prior sexual history, or whether she "enjoyed" being raped. Detective Faye Spelling will becalled first to investigate rapes, if she is not over-assigned. STATE HOLLY 734-59CK)Everybody's going through changes!

Last March 15 under strong support.of the Black wellWomen's Health and Resource Center and the YWCA, a $14,000 grant from the Law EnforcementAssistance Administration [LEAA] was given to Bellingham to institute a Rape Relief program. Thegrant is given annually and prospects for its continuance up to a three-year period look favorableaccording to sources at the rape crisis center. Last year, 20 rapes were reported in Bellingham. Butstatistics prove that most rapes committed are not reported due to embarrassing questioning directedtoward the victim, about prior sexual 'experiences,' moral attitudes and the like; truly non-circumstantial evidence in regard to physical assault. In fact, it has been estimated by police officialsthat at least 100 Taxpayers Education in Washington is in deep trouble. Superficially, it would bÂ£ easy to blame state legislators for the problems Western and other tax supported schools face. However, the legislature has generally been kind to education, a traditional apple to polish for local constituencies. Itis the attitudes of those constituencies that have changed. Constituent cies are made up of taxpayers,and taxpayers are also consumers currently caught in a recession. rapes were committed in theBellingham community last year, but due to in-bred fear and distrust, the majority were not reported.Even though there is admittedly not a high volume of rapes in Bellingham, one rape is too many. Thecampus itself, has had problems with rape and people at the crisis line plan to involve campus security,although no plans to date have been made. In the legislature, the seriousness of the amendment tackedonto the rape bill by the Senate is only too apparent. The original bill, as drawn up and submitted bythe Seattle Women's Commission made a woman's past sexual history inadmissable as evidence incourt. However, under the new proposal, the judge and defense attorney may delve into that area anddecide solely at their own discretion, whether the woman's previous involvement is relevant to the case. The Senate version of the billâ€”House Legislators Those taxpayers are being forced to make choicesin their own lifestyles, and the defeats of many school levies in the state have shown that people aretaking a second look at their public burden. Legislators are responsible â€” and responsive â€” to themoods of the people who elected them. Public officials feel the tide of public opinion on all taxableissues, including higher educa-tion, and the tide of affluence is ebbing. The probability increases that the legislature will be forced to put more of the educational burden on the tuition- ~\ letters Non-sexist adpolicy requested - r Bill 208â€”also says if a married woman, even though separated from her spouse, is raped by him, she may not press charges until a divorce is granted. She is tied without recourse in thebounds of legal manipulation, while at the same time being legally restricted through marriage. Rape is a demeaning and traumatic experience for any woman. The concern as expressed by the institution of theCrisis line and legislative action is long over-due. We need to awaken to the problems around us andpartake actively in overcoming them. At the same time, the action that is taken must be carefullyconsidered and weighed thoughtfully until the best solution has been found. The Bellingham rape line isa step in the right direction.

Then,his plans included hopping into his red Volkswagen, with Montana plates, and heading for San Francisco. After that he planned on stopping at Western before returning to upper New York Stateto visit his family.From there he planned on sticking out his thumb and hitchhiking first to South Americaand then throughthe rest of the world. From the start school didn't seem right to him, but he hadn't figured out what to do.Then during the Christmas break he headed for Montana and somewhere in the middle of the Big Skycountry, stars got into his eyes. When he returned from Montana he brought some Coors over to myapartment. With stars sparkling in his eyes, he talked about working on ocean freighters and seeing Peru and Brazil. He mentioned Ethiopia and Greece and about working on a kibbutz in Israel. And somewhere in the hazy future he said he wanted to see Southeast Asia. He prepared for his journey by taking acrash course in Spanish. And he submitted his arms to needles as different protecting juices werepumped into them. THEN, HIS PREPARATIONS finished, he headed for San Francisco. I wanted to talkwith him when he stopped at Western before heading east, but I didn't see him. Instead, as I opened myapartment door one day I spotted a torn corner of paper on the floor with writing on it. It says "My journeybegan years ago, today I begin another leg. Sorry that you weren't home to share a farewell. Good life tovou, Steve Manda." STEVE'S IMPRINT ON Western wouldn't be much more than a footprint in an Aprilsnowfall in Bellingham. But the people who knew him will miss his easy manner and quick smile thatrevealed one crooked tooth. If he ever returns, I want to talk to Steve. I want to ask if the stars are warm ---------- Western Front - 1975 April 11 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, April 11,1 Western Front 5 / front row center TWO WORKS - I k u n e Sawada's "Along theWalla Walla" Â§ (above), and "Matoi" by George Tsutakawa are just two 8 of the pieces by NorthwestAsian-American artists on ^ display at the Western Gallery. The exhibit, sponsored by Jj the Asian-American Student Union, is a part of Asian e Awareness week, which begins Tuesday. 5 NorthwestAsian-American artists show heritage MARSHALL BROWN FROM THE MUTED, pastoral Japaneselandscapes to the fiery, snake visaged tropics of the Philippines, it is clear the Asian-American artistswhose works are on display at the Western Gallery in the Art-Technology Building have not lost sight oftheir heritages even though they now call the Northwest their home. Remarkable not only for their qualitybut also for their diversity of style and medium, the works have been brought to Western by the Asian-American Student Union (AASU) in conjunction with Asian Awareness Week, beginning April 15. Andthrough the eyes of these artists, Asian culture shines. The show opened April 3, with a two hour-reception at the gallery hosted by the AASU. Among the modest opening night crowd were three of the10 artists whose works make up the show, batik artist Carol Chong, whose parents also have pieces inthe exhibition, painter Ikune Sawada and noted sculptor George Tsutakawa. Swada, who has beenpainting in the Northwest for four year, has five works on exhibit; three built-up oils, an acrylic oil still lifeand a watercolor highlighted by the use of metallic silver and gold. BASED IN SEATTLE, with a strongdesire to gravitate towards New York Sawada said, "I just go crazy. I just have to paint when I cjo toEastern Washington." His work "Along the Walla Walla" reflects his ample talents for capturing theserenity of the state's eastern bleakness while retaining a definite Japanese feeling or presence. Thetalented Chong familyâ€”tne late Fay, Priscilla and their daughter C a r o l - have concentrated on batikand silk screening. Wall hangings, scarves, place-mats and adorable batiked turtle cushions areexemplary of the ladies' abilities. Two beautiful silkscreens on hosho rice paper by Fay Chong are ondisplay. Two modernistic bronze sculptures, including the enigmatically captive "Eternal Laughter" byGeorge Tsutakawa are exhibited. Tsutakawa, who has been sculpting for "over 30 years," has a well-deserved reputation throughout the Northwest for his fountains, done primarily in bronze andaluminum. Photos of several of his fountains, notably the "Fountain of Pioneers" in Vancouver, B.C.,and two of his paintings are included in the exhibit. PERHAPS THE MOST striking of the works shown are those by Filipino painter Val Laigo. Definitely impressionistic with heavy undertones of cubism, hisvivid and gorgeously bright works dominate one corner of the gallery. His "Madonna of the Miracles andthe Sons" serves as a peaceful and reflective counterpoint to be forceful, perhaps sinister, paintings andcollages which surround it. Traditional Chinese painting and ink drawing are beautifully represented inseveral pieces by Shinping Yao. Using muted colors and the serene patience often synonymous inWestern minds with "Oriental" art, Yao's work exudes a timeless majesty found in all truly fine art. Ofparticular note are his works "Mountain Inn" and "Backyard Pumpkin," both sumi ink drawings, and"Ducklings," exhibiting exquisitely fine brush strokes. Filling out the show are works by Paul Horiuchi,Ron Ho and Alex Young. HARIUCHI'S WORK is a fine casein collage entitled "Shadow on White." Ron Ho created an intriguing necklace, titled "All Fall Down," made from silver, ivory and bone, designedmore for display than for wear. And Young's works are two well done watercolor and pencil drawings done on an American West motif. Brought together and coordinated by Cynthia Mejia of the AASU, theAsian- American Artists Show is an enchanting look at mixed and transplanted cultures in fine art. Theshow runs through April 18.

In her male-dominated musicprofession, her career has been a constant struggle for deserved recognition. It is this struggle whichprovides inspiration. At 28 she startled the world by conducting the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, but since then her jobs as conductor have been few. However, as the film sensitively shows, this hasn'tstopped Brico. She has taught, in between her rare concert appearances, and inspired in her pupils alove of music. And hopefully Brico's struggle has paved or at least shown the way for women who wantto pursue serious careers in music. And she has also shown by her determination that the mostinsurmountable odds can be overcome, even if only a little. Accompanied by "Anais: Observed," aboutauthor Anais Nin, "Antonia" will be shown tomorrow in the Music Auditorium at 6:30 and 9:30 p.m.Admission is $1.

Linda Mc- Nees is Miss Pingkerton and Bob, the thief, is portrayed byLoren Lang. Set in Florence in 1299, "Gianni Schicchi," the second opera, also has an unexpectedending. Puccini is the author of this work. The opera begins as the relatives of a rich man have Justdiscovered that he is dead. They learn that their rich uncle has left all of his money to the church. All ofthe relatives agree that they must somehow change the will. Gianni Schicchi, played by MaitledPeters is called in to fix up the will. There is only one item upon which the relatives agree. The problemis which of them should get his mule, house and saw mill. That decision is left up to Schicchi! Bothoperas are free and the public is invited. RICK DONKER Erica Jong's book "Fear of Flying," thisquarter's book-of-the-quarter, is a funny and entertaining book. It takes off on the idea that women havesexual fantasies, an idea that has yet to be expressed in the terms that "Fear of Flying" does. The heroine of the novel is the funny, sexy, confused wife of an analyst who spends her time at ananalysts' convention in Vienna in search of what the author calls "The zipless fuck." The "ziplessfuck" is supposed to be the ideal encounter, no strings attached, no overly-emotional involvement,and, most of all, totally enjoyable. Of course the "zipless fuck" is never encountered, but this is notimportant. What is important is that it is a woman in search of it, not your typical "Playboy" or"Penthouse" hero. "Fear of Flying" is an interesting and well-written book, but it fails just where"Playboy" and "Penthouse" fail. It treats people like (sexual parts, and not like human beings.

Rugby Club travels to Seattle this weekend to compete in the Montlake Dump and Mud Ball Tournament at the University of Washington. Western will enter two squads in the 29 team field, with the Viking secondteam kicking off play at 8:30 tomorrow morning against Gibsons, a Vancouver, B.C., City League squad.

Last year Western finished fourth in the annual Mud Ball playoff and in the past has finished as high as second. Western has twice beendefeated by Richmond, B.C., in past compionship games. "We've definitely been improving our play,"coach Larry Arlint said. "We've played much tougher against everyone since the first half of the season."As in most sports when you start a season, our defensive play was far ahead of our offensive game. Westill aren't a great offensive team, but we've picked up considerably," he said. "A little more offense andwe could have won some of the close games we've dropped." "WE'RE PLAYING MUCH better now,since the Monterey tourney (over spring break where the Viks were shut out four times before beating the Navy All-Stars 17-11) but lately we haven't played against competition that has been as tough. Thistournament is more our caliber. We should finish among the top teams," the coach said. " , _, Western's first team line-up includes forwards Duane (Boats) Bowman, Geneo Cincovitch, Dean (the Dream)Shepherd, Jeff Fischer, Paul Johnson, Andy Norris, Duane Roth, Dan Coleman and Greg Fry; backsJohn McCarthy, Steve (Sully) Sullivan, Bob Duffy and Phil (Goose) Ross, and wings Steve Fisher, Stan Fritz and Galen Melby.

RUMERRANK Member F.D.I.C. sportsGolfers under par ALSHAKE "Teed-off" is a golf term that can be taken two ways. Western's golf teamtook it the hard way when they traveled toSeattle only to lose a close match 317-311 against theUniversity of Puget Sound (UPS). Only two lettermen, Mike Haerling and Steve Kukull, are returning tothe Viking team. Jim Lounsberry, coach, anticipates Eastern's wining the conference t i t l e.Western lost a match to them earlier this season. Western overtook Whitman Collegeearlier this year to post a 1-2 season record. "It's really a little too early to tell right now," Lounsberry said."I know wehave a lot of potential but we've got a lot of work to do as well." The play-offs for the nationals will beheld here at Sudden Valley giving a drift of favor for Western. The scores for Western against UPS were: Al Bauer 76, Mel Pfief79. Haerling 80, Jeff Heathers 82, Gene Adams 83, Neal Patterson 84. Othermembers of the team are Marty Fendrick, Kukull and Mike Smith. The next home match is April 14at 1p.m. against Simon Fraser University at the Bellingham Country Club. Tennis women aced Women'stennis at Western is in the process of rebuilding, according to Stan Bianchi, coach. "We lost ourtop four or five players from last year," Bianchi said. Among those losses was Wendy Harper,Western's number one singles player a year ago. Western publicist Paul Madison noted she "wasone of the better players we ever had." Western had a 2-6 win-loss record in dual matches last year buttied for third in a 17-team regional tournament. Terri Zuck, Lenore Kala-pus, Cindy Brown and AmyKirschling are probably the top four players this year, Bianchi said. Western began its 1975 tennisseason rather infamously with a 9-0 whitewashing suffered at the hands of Pacific LutheranUniversity last week. It wasn't a fair showing of his team, Bianchi said, since they had had only twoturnouts prior to the match. Western faces Seattle U. tomorrow at 11 a.m. on the Viking tennis courts.It is one of only two remaining home matches for Western. A.S.

This year,Western's baseball team seems to have both. "He's just a great guy," Jeff Bodmer, infielder, said of newhead coach Ralph Dick. "He gets along with everyone." Dick said that he enjoys coaching because"we've got a great bunch of guys. They all want to play ball." This is his first year as a college coach.Eventually, he would, like to coach a major four-year college team but said "there's nothing wrong withthis place!" Dick prepped at Bellingham High School. He then played for two seasons at MesaCommunity College (Colo.). Those teams placed fifth and sixth nationally. During the following year,1969, he attended Arizona State University (ASU),, where he was the starting rightfielder. It was asuccessful year for Dick as he hit .340 and ASU took the NCAA championship. HE TURNED PRO thenext year and spent six years with the Minnesota Twins organization. Although he never played in themajor leagues, he did become a player/coach at Lynchburg, the last of six teams that he played for. "Igot used to being a coach at Lynchburg," he said. "I suppose the biggest difference between being aplayer and a coach is that, as a coach, you're not out there on the field all the time." He's found that thehardest coaching decision for him to make is when to relieve a pitcher. Hustle is important to the newcoach. "Everyone should be helping each other out," he said. "We should be concerned with our team,not what is going on in the other dugout." He went on to compare the ASU and Western baseballprograms. "ASU had a lot of depth and could offer five scholarships per year. So by the time a guy was a senior he'd have 20 guys on the team with scholarships. At Western, we've only got about 18 players sowe don't have the depth for people to push the starters." AS A FIRST-YEAR coach looking at his team,Dick feels that it has a good chance to win a championship. "We're playing good ball right now. Butwe've got to keep pushing or someone is going to knock us off. We can't let up and we've got to take thegames one at a time." Dick returned to Bellingham to pursue a history degree at Western. He didn'texpect, at the time, to be the head baseball coach. sport shorts Mountaineering class offered TheOutdoor Program is offering an introductory course in mountaineering and wilderness travel begin-ingMonday at a session in the Outdoor Program office, Viking Union 304.

Â§ 6 F A ^ USI M lt;j Ttte RJL3 AS, AU ^XCOSe-TO "SlfHPFRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1975 Ten Cents Recycle all paper Students petition library for later closinghours BILL DeWITT If you wish to study late at night, Wilson Library wants to accommodate you . . .part of the time. Various proposals, in the form of petitions and pending legislative action, are directedtowards the library administration, to get the library to extend its hours for student use. So far, the mosteffective proposal is coming from a group of students doing a project for a political science class. Thestudents are proposing library hours be extended to 11 p.m. the weeks before and during finals. RobertLawyer, director of libraries, said the proposal will be granted on an experimental basis this quarter if thestudents can petition at least 100 signatures. However, Lawyer said, only the reserve reading room of the library will be in use. AS President Carla Higginson is heading a petition drive to get library hoursextended until 11 p.m. weekdays and midnight the weeks before and during finals. Higginson hopes toavoid any increase in costs by opening the library for additional hours. Instead, Higginson proposes thelibrary close Saturday morning and use the additional four hours to keep the library open an extra hour,every weeknight. Lawyer will at least keep the library open an additional hour every weeknight during the quarter if 300 signatures can be obtained and the AS Board of Directors passes a subsequentresolution, Higginson said. However, concerning Higginson's proposal, Lawyer said, "It is really foolish.We can't do it (extend library hours) on the basis of (library personnel) salaries alone." Even thoughlibrary personnel would be working only half-time Saturday, they are still required to be paid full-timeaccording to Higher Education Personnel Board regulations, Lawyer said. "It's a hell of a good idea if itwould work." Lawyer said. "But it won't work. It doesn't matter how many signatures she gets on thatpetition it won't fly." The library is provided wifh funds for two main programs: the acquisition of booksand for salaries, Lawyer said. He is given "very little flexibility" for other projects, such as the lengthening of library hours. Last spring the library was open until 11 p.m. on an experimental basis during finalsweek. Lawyer said the student response was low, with an average of only nine people using the facilities past 10 p.m. "Is there student interest or is there not?" Lawyer asked. "We don't think there is."However, Lawyer also said increasing library hours would be the library's first priority if it was providedwith additional funds. Lawyer said the library is facing another decrease in funds, since Gov. Dan Evansrecently cut Western's budget. Lawyer advised students wanting additional library
